Warhammer 40k

  • The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

Yes, his stuff is some good literature, not just for 40K, but for novels as a whole.

Fire Caste shows both humans and Tau at their lowest, throwing bodies in a useless shithole for no other reason than to dispose of broken soldiers.

Speaking of literature, check up Trial of the Mantis Warriors, aka the one good thing C.S. Goto wrote.

Shame there is no Votann in the Trailer, other than Mechanicum 2, I don't think we got a proper animated visual of them. I did like the short Craftworld shot.

The Tau make for boring lore and so get fuck all for novels/etc even as antagonists. Nobody cares about them off the tabletop and I've never even met a Tau player who liked them for their lore vs their gameplay/aesthetic.

It's a dead end as a faction and so they never bother updating their lore or answering questions like 'so how do the Tau deal with necrons, tyranids, chaos, etc' because nobody likes the dorky looking blue faggots.

And everyone hated early Tau lore so much they sort of just hand waved them to be more evil like everyone else, so fuck em. Wanting Tau books is like wanting Dark Eldar novels.

The mechs are cool.

I dont know what the fuck those blue things are, or the orange things, or those flying bugs.

But the mechs are cool.
 
I’ve been enjoying assembling the Legions Imperialis starter box. It’s 30K so only Imperial Army and Space Marines though. Does anyone know of any good sources for models GW hasn’t released for that line? I’d like to find similar scale 40K stuff.

You say that, but over there you've got Farsight and his calls for Total Ork Death.
 
As a relative newcomer who likes the guard, Fire Warriors and some of the mechs are cool tbh, i think the vehicles are my only miss when it comes to the fish people
