SerCypher posted:The Imperial Guard are generally supposed to be the elite of the elite, the greatest of a world's warriors sent off to battle amongst the stars. When a regiment is founded it is a time of great celebration, and the best men and women from local forces are sifted through. They are often the only members of their planet that will ever leave the surface. They're given the best weapons, gear and training their world can give them, and supported by an entire empire devoted to helping them wage war. They believe they are leaving to fight for their god, and will almost certainly fight until the last of them is killed on some bullshit world. Truthfully, I see the IG (pretty much my favorites, BTW) as pretty much the baseline of WH40K troops. Not particularly awesome, but no real particular weaknesses (other than basic squishyness). Da Orkz be reality-bendin' melee monSTAZ! Tau are most excellent at range. Chaos is just hosed in the head and has magicalness. (Yer a wizard, Harry! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! <chomp> ). And so on. Humanity is basically locked in place, desperately paddling just to stay afloat. Hell, you can't even travel safely from place to place in space, as you are just hoping the Techpriests did their catechisms right and the Geller fields don't fail in the warp and the whole crew ends up dead, cannibalistic insane, fused into a giant lumpy mass of flesh, possibly all of the above... Or worse.

All of you who are interested in the 40k lore/stories/etc should read the short story collection "Let the Galaxy Burn". http://www.amazon.com/Let-Galaxy-Burn-Warhammer-Novels/dp/1844163423 I've read a lot of science fiction from a lot of different sources and this collection is amazing. You will really get a feel for the universe. It contains one short story in there told from a guardsman's perspective of a tyranid invasion. The story is so well written I actually felt a little bit of the hopelessness and terror of the soldier in the story. There's a moment, during the final defense against the tyranid horde, that a space marine chapter lands drop pods in front of his unit's position. His hope turns into utter horror as he watches what he considers literal holy angels/demigods slaughtered before his very eyes.

grimcreaper posted:What choice do you have? You either live in the empire, or something from the EVERYTHING else tries to eat you alive. Its an awful future, but id rather fight and die for the Empire than have a Tyranid ramming his giant spike up my rear end. Or a Tau putting his "sterilizer" in my "keester". Or the Orcs showing me how they spawn. etc etc. Actually if you land on a slightly less insane warboss the orks are your nicest options. They are many mention of them trading basic stuff with humans and they "reproduce" by death in battle. When an ork dies his body release orks spores on decomposition. The spores then find soft ground and begin to germinate into various orkoid (greetchin, snotling, orks) forms. They are asexual. I'm not saying you want them as neighbors but outside other not-corrupted humans they are your best choice.

gently caress everything I'm going to keep posting the one video that very, very nearly makes 40k look actually kinda cool. Which is a fuckin miracle, but Kadebostany managed to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGmmXd8r4YQ Neckbeards hate the idiosyncratic trailer music choice but this was the first time I was actually excited for a 40k game and not, you know, resigned to the that I would be made to play it by friends. But yes, all this talk about art direction is a clear sign of actual vision. People like to talk about how Chris Roberts' vision is taking SC places or whatever nonsense, but that "vision" is incredibly generic and lacking in a real authorial touch. There's simply no creativity there, not even the kind of creativity like "what would twelve year old think is loving metal and how do we bring that stupid bullshit to life" like Warhammer 40k. All they have is a vain pursuit of verisimilitude, given the almost worshipful name of "fidelity." What a loving joke.

Everyone who has been denied a refund should go here: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Information#crnt&panel1-1 I'm filing an FTC complaint, how's this sound for the comments: quote:Cloud Imperium Games launched a very successful kickstarter campaign in 2012 for a pair of online games called Star Citizen and Squadron 42 with a promised release date of November 2014. They did not release either game on time, and still have not released either game. They have sinced continued to fund their game with predatory and dishonest practices and when I recently requested a refund (in december 2015), they claimed the current "Alpha release" was enough to satisfy their requirements of a release and denied my refund. This company preys on hopes and wishes and delivers very little and has now begun to deny any refund requests. Please investigate these predatory and hopefully illegal practices.

The base game is janky bug-ridden poo poo, but look, we've made fish! Any other company would be tied to a pole and whipped bloody if they did the same thing. It doesn't matter if the fish is already done or not, when you're this drat late on your deadline and what you do have doesn't work, you at least put up the appearance of solely focusing on the core issues to make your customers feel like you are on top of things.
