Aumanor posted:So does anyone know what chapter the space marine present in the post-mission 1 cutscene? Do you mean the one at the ~13 minute mark where the various factions preside over the captain? That would be one of the Imperial Fists. Quite refreshing to see them not just defaulting back to the bland old Ultramarines. Anyhow, the game owns and I can really recommend everybody who likes the general aesthetic or gameplay to give it a try. Even small skirmishes can have incredibly fun and satisfying moments. Or just plain hilarious ones, like this one: https://zippy.gfycat.com/TerrificFalseBluefish.webm

If you're in need of names, I submit the Lord Captain Magnus of the His August Magnificence! Of course, with such a pompous name, it'll either have to be the very largest and grandest ship, or the rattiest garbage scow available

What is that structure in the background of the second mission? The grey one with the glowing lines and smaller versions of itself around? Also, why is the Navigator telling you how to maneuver in real space, and the Commissar giving out tactical advice on fleet combat? That is clearly not what their roles are supposed to be.

Looks like some space ice rocks and other crystalline structures. Navigators don't only handle warp travel, but they also handle the broad strokes of astronavigation when they aren't preparing for a warp jump. Of course, this being Warhammer and consistency is minimal, portrayals vary since different Navigator houses act differently. The Commissar's advice is perfectly in line with his role as he only talks about the organisational structure of your force and how to tell your forces what to do, along with him having practical experience. Again, Warhammer relative inconsistency in order to tell stories, you've got Gaunt, Ciaphas Cain and the Commissar from the Battlefleet Gothic books who all like to throw in their own two cents on how to fight a battle. The only issue is that in most cases it shouldn't be the Commissar readying the troops but rather the Master-at-Arms. Basically, Warhammer is dumb and there are always reasons and roles are meaningless. Take a shot for every time a Warhammer book explains that 'not all of [x] act like [x], here are the key groups of [x] and their beliefs'. Sure that's how reality works, but once you see it you can't unsee how lazy that particular line is. E:\/ That too. HerpicleOmnicron5 fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jan 21, 2017 |

That is clearly not what their roles are supposed to be. Most likely it's due to the fact that it's the tutorial missions. The captain realistically doesn't need to be told how to fly his ship. However since the player is unlikely to be an orphan trained since childhood at a special school to be a Imperial Navy Officer and survived decades of battle and office politics to be captain they have to make some story allowances for the sake of gameplay.

It's not the fact that they give out tutorial instructions, it is that the wrong officers are doing it. You'd expect the helmsman or whoever to handle Materium navigation, and whoever is in charge of tactical intelligence to dole out tactical advice (probably not the Commissar, whose area of responsibility is keeping the crew in line). Also, pretty sure the Schola Progenium doesn't train their charges for the Navy. The officers seem to be mostly nobles from families that have served in the Imperial Navy for generations judging from fluff.

The helmsmen are trash tier ratings,. they've got no business talking to an Admiral. Navigators, on the other hand, do understand regular navigation as well as the terrifying nature of the Warp. And maybe Captain Spire likes having someone outside the ranks giving general tactical advice, while his Master-of-Arms actually does the work of implimenting them. The Imperial Navy totally has its own branch of the Commisariat though.

Prologue, Part 2: Broken up into two parts due to its length. Split it up between fleet management and combat, the first part being unnecessary if you just want to get into the meat of the game. An introduction to the fleet and a convoy mission against a Pirate force. Cassa posted:Also, could you make your commentary a bit louder in future? It blends in a little with the rest of the game. I dropped the volume a bit in this video, the main issue is the generic voices chirping in are on the same slider as the wonderful dialogue which I definitely don't want to lower any more than it already is at.

Is it OK to talk about the multiplayer aspects? It is actually fairly fun, although there is some fairly gimmicky stuff, especially concerning a race that will not be in the LP. Although some of the gimmicks can get shafted quite a bit by certain missions, which you dont know in advance.

I had to learn the hard way that Admiral Spire was right and in Convoy Escort missions it is actually beneficial to try and split the transports as much as possible*: they are so fragile that, if clustered together, there isn't much a player can do against another one that is going straight for the objective, since even a single light cruiser plowing into a formation of transports will be able to quickly ram and take enough of them out to win. By splitting them the enemy is forced to either split their forces in response, or focus on a single side: if played well, both of these choices can mean losing since in the former case the defending player can focus their own ships to block the one or two enemies and quickly take them out of the fight, or buy time for the transports not being focused upon to get out by pinballing the enemy ships. *Disclaimer: this works well against Orks and Imperials; against Eldars it's probably going to lead to a quick defeat.

Ramming is super useful, what are you talking about. The Emperor gave our ships armoured prows, and by the Emperor, we will use them! Also the best thing against the Tau. if you can ram them, you win. Dunno if they still have the thing where Tau ships would catch on other vessels so you'd get multiple ramming attacks off on a single pass. To devestating effect.
