Ok, so let’s talk about the tabletop game that coined the phrase grimdark, let’s talk about Warhammer 40k and it’s vision of the future!

Faithful servant of the God Emperor reporting in, may he bless this thread and lead it to glory.
Real talk though, End Times better bring some real movement to the universe, because the overall narrative has stalled of late…among other things its done.

In the Emperor’s name.
That may not be a good thing, considering what happened to Warhammer Fantasy.

Fair point, especially with the current writing team…. I still can’t get over what the did with the Necrons and ‘Nids.
Oh yes, lets take these terrifying engines of destruction and try and humanize them…Space robot zombies and alien bug monsters don’t need to be humanized, they’re more interesting left as they are.
Never got into Warhammer fantasy, which is odd because I normally like swords and sorcery stuff more than sci-fi.

I agree, I liked it better when they were simply robo-zombie terminators who only wanted to kill all life.
And I can’t blame you for not liking Warhammer Fantasy, I only know about it cause Crative Assembly is making a new game, Total War Warhammer.

You know, it’s good to see Games Workshop letting others make games on the licenses that aren’t Relic…too bad it took them like 15 years to start doing it. Granted, if they had let people do that, Starcraft wouldn’t exist… Make of that what you will.
I don’t actually play the table tops, I actually got into 40k from the books, then the Dawn of War games.

Yeah, you know GW tried to copyright the name Imperial Guard? Of course it failed so they stuck with another name.
And yeah me too, Dawn of War is awesome. Which one do you like best?

Dawn of War II. I prefer smaller, customizable squads to the more “death-ball” rts style of the first game. The first game and most of it’s expansions were still awesome. Winter Assault was kinda meh…and Soulstorm might take the cake for the worst dialogue in Warhammer history.

I stuck with the Imperial Guard in Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and Soulstorm. At least the IG weren’t up their own ass plus Vance Motherfucking Stubbs and Genearl Sturnn!

I rolled IG first go, rolled with the Eldar after that.
None of the DoW games have any of my favorite chapters in them, Raven and Angels are ok, better than the Smurfs, but I’d like to roll with the Wolves or Salamanders.

Motto of the IG “We have reserves, and we’re not afraid to use them…because the commissar will shoot us”.
Incidentally, I’ve been meaning to work through the Cain books. I have the entire collection in a single issue from The Black Library.

Battle of the Fang was my favorite, even though my favorite chapter got fucked up pretty hard in it.

It goes to show how rich the 40k Universe is when it started out as a simple tabletop game then grew to spawn multiple books, games, and other factions!

I would like to see a MGR Revengeance style game where you play as Kharn the Betrayer.

Hell, ANY game where you play as Chaos. Or Orks. Or Necrons. Anything but yet another iteration of the Imperium.

OK so here is my question since there were loyalists among them who did return to help during the heresy could there be Thousand Sons Successor chapters?

It is hinted that the Bluhd Rehvehns (blood ravens) are a successor chapter to the thousand suns, what with their high amount of psychers and what not.

Ah very good, didn’t want to put much thought into a new chapter idea to have it crushed like the last one,

Blood Ravens are all but stated to be a loyalist Thousand Sons offshoot, apparently.
Also: playing through Dawn of War 2 again in preparation of Dawn of War 3. ’S fun, even though loot drops are traditionally being difficult.
