/tg/ - Traditional Games

Daemons!

Reminder

Alright, another iteration on attempts to play a non-battlesuit style Tau list.

Previous comments seem to indicate a major problem is the lack of anti-tank killing ability, so trying out a missile list to have strong alpha strike capabilities. Also I love Macross.

Nucrons are better than oldcrons

>>72214481
what about nu-nucrons that are coming out

Why is it so shit?

Rate my battlestation

>>72214474
>NPC army get's one model updated cause they are having troubles printing the older one
Sounds fair

>>72214490
You mean nu-oldcrons?

>>72214490
Nu-nucrons will be even better than the old-nucrons which are, again, better than the old-oldcrons. only a onion-boy would say otherwise.

>>72214492
generic muh-strong-female character stuffed in a dull story

>>72214504
>A fucking rock

>>72214492
>le womyn are strong and powerful, more so than men

>>72214492
it wasn't written well.

>>72214436
I am absolutely certain the Tauros was inspired by a different source.

Last day for Local Game store. He hopes on reopening, but future is foggy.

Eyed this last week and went and got it. They are to join the Word Bearers.

>>72214517
>>72214524
Its literally not though. Its just Woman gets a toehold of authority and shits on random men grunts to make her seem strnk

>>72214498
>computer posts reading 23:36-ish hours with today's date
Shit time zone/10 would not bang

>>72214515
Oldcrons looked excellent, they just needed to be de-derpified a little bit. Nucrons look technically better but their overall aestehtic is shit.

>>72214539
Oh nice. Here is hoping your store manages to pull through!

2/10

wouldn't bang. What did they mean by this?

>>72214481
Necrons!

Praise the Omnissiah!

>>72214515
Nu-nucrons will be better than old nucrons because they will look more like old oldcrons, as evidenced by nu nucron Szeras.

Taucrons!

>>72214536
That doesn't look anything like a Tauros Venator though.

>>72214569
By the Omnissiah I forgot my image!
Just like GW forgot about engine war!

Friendly reminder that Tech-Marines ARE NOT members of the Machine Cult and equipping them with an Omnissian Axe is tech-heresy.

>>72214492
Because 40k fiction has been getting worse over time.

reminder that only edgy teenagers play chaos

>>72214593
I can't unsee the fucking taser goad model anymore.

>>72214541
>daughter of a high-born woman and a low-born man
>put in standard position of authority when telling an Imperial Guard story
>mopes about a dead sister or something
>old watch as a keepsake
cookie cutter character creation.

>>72214608
>edgy teenagers
>teenedgers

Thank me already!

>>72214593
Why does the modern art suck so much fucking cock compared to the old stuff?

>>72214539
Closing for good or just closing for the time? Shit sucks either way.

>>72214621
t-thanks

>>72214492
>>72214629
Diversity hiring

>>72214504
I wonder what the guy on his base is meant to be. Ministorum preacher?

>>72214629
a lot of the new stuff was done on the cheap by online digital artists on a very short basis.

>>72214629
digital art means no true blacks or that much definition on the lines, even shit like blanche looks way more refined that any digita art will ever be. This is a modern problem, it happened with magic and it's happening on warhammer, imagine loudness war but in art form.

>>72214605
>>72214618
The astropath horror one was surprisingly not shit though

>>72214539
where are you that you can still enter a store that doesn't sell groceries, booze, and/or guns?

>>72214587
>open crew positions
>conventional chassis
>actually carries heavy weapons

It looks far more like a Venator than your eight-wheeler.

>>72214629
That image probably took weeks to make in comparison to days.

>>72214629
Blanche is in a league of his own when it comes to creativity.
But in general digital art encourage stale overblended art and dosen't have the texture of paper and unpredictable physical media to add interest and happy little accidents. It requires extra effort to avoid the digital samey look. Similar to airbrushing.

>>72214663
Why is GW jewing us with cheap artists so hard? They're making more money than ever (or at least were before coronavirus), they can afford the quality artists. Fuck.

>>72214689
because you buy the books anyway

If you want good 40k stories their novellas are all surprisingly bitching.

>>72214689
Spending less money on art is likely contributing to them being more profitable than ever.

Need help on 3rd party femachans. Something not skimpy and tame in design

>>72214684
There was a voxcast with one of the digital artists and he said they get 1 week to make a digital painting and he has very little time to prepare or experiment.

>>72214717
Everytime I read a BL novella I'm surprised at how shit it is.
I am reading Conan stories and having much more fun.

>>72214553
>>72214636
For now, it seems for good. The store was supposed to be celebrating it's 1 year anniversary with a massive Imperium vs Chaos battle with cake and a MTG tournament.

>>72214685
Blanche is a god but so were many of the other artists of that time. Adrian Smith, Alex Boyd, several others too.

>>72214734
Are you implying you can tell Catachan men apart from Catachan women?

>>72214717
I should probably just listen to Garro

>>72214705
I don't actually. I haven't bought anything from them this edition except some GSC models and Necromunda stuff. I only reward GW with money when they make something of actual quality.

>>72214752
Not to forget Hadrax Jacobeam Ishmael IV

>>72214752
Fantasy art was better

>Last thread most of /tg/ agreed grimdark 40k is edgy shit and moodernisation is a good thing for the hobby.

Honestly, proud of you guys, I know we get a ton of /pol/shills but keep gatekeeping the idiots away and 40k can be something truly great

>>72214675
Canada in a tourist town in the wilderness. It was a curbside sale but I am good buddies with the owner since he helped me get what I need after the previous store closed where I got my first minitures. (Closed due to daughter needing treatment for illness that was pricy.)

Defend this model

>>72214797
Stop gaslighting

>>72214782
>fantasy art was better

>>72214812
Its very well painted

>>72214689
Because as much as you don't like it attracts normies attention.
Soys go nuts on this type of art, don't know if it's the colors or what, plus the chinese shit it out in like a couple of minutes and it costs way less than hiring someone that actually draws with pen an pencil.

>>72214748
>1 year
Ah so nothing of value was lost

I did not know that alfabusa is have a significant other.

https://www.patreon.com/alfabusa

>>72214812
The Necron banana hammock defends itself.

Other races WISH they had a model as smooth.

>>72214782
Nah. Some of it was good but Fantasy hard loses to 40k outright in aesthetic alone. You can't beat baroque future space gothic cyberknights with chainsaw swords and huge boltguns with plain old baroque knights with regular swords and muskets.

>>72214797
This is the most reddit post I've read in a long time, neck yourself at your nearest convenience.

>>72214817
Wow, this is a blast from the past. I remember this from when I first started playing, I remember the Lizardman vs Bretonnian learn-to-play examples.

>>72214812
Defend this model

>>72214823
>Because as much as you don't like it attracts normies attention.
No it doesn't, the older art would do better all around.

>>72214797
Kill yourself you worthless transnigger garbage.

>>72214836
HAHAHAHA PORN DUDE HAHAHA

>>72214812
now this is podracing

>>72214817
You going to post something thats bad or what?

>>72214752
Ian Miller is my favorite

>>72214877
Just remind the zoomies their boys are garbage traitors.

I don't like grimdark.

>>72214812
It's cool.

>>72214867
They have a nice VR setup going on
Nucrons were a mistake

>>72214752
Alex Boyd still works at GW pretty sure.
Also adrian smith really fucking nailed the transition to digital.
>https://www.artstation.com/adrian-smith/albums/all

>>72214896
Imagine a full kit of Skitarii like this.

>>72214905
But that's what 40k is all about

>>72214905
I don't like you.

>>72214905
Then you're a faggot with bad taste and should be playing another game.

40k is LITERALLY where the term "grimdark" was coined in the first fucking place, everything else that is described as grimdark is really being described as "40k-esque".

>>72214492
>strong woman protag
Cool!

Fuck that, I'm not even reading a pirated PDF.

TERMINATORS

>>72214944
I fucking love this image. Karl Kopinski is great.

>>72214925
I prefer the skitarii that were described in Titanicus. They'd make neat GSC

>>72214874
Uhm.. no sweaty old art is problematic ok?

The longer kaldor draigo stays in the materium, the stronger he will become.

>>72214957
Rough. Its like the necromunda narrator who does it too. Kinda shit

>>72214944
I want to see so nusisters painted up properly grimdark so they can encapsulate this.

>>72214957
wow, lets just unpack how problematic yall are being right now, its 2020

>>72214901
>stale meme
Just stop posting man

>>72214989
They'd also need to be heavily converted.

>>72214823
The game stores have only shown up in the last two years and there is not a lack of customers as there is "sudden illness issues" that we can't hold one open for a year.

Still sucks as this was the only place within a 3 hour drive to get this stuff.

>>72214967
You'll have to remind me of that description.

>>72214905
>walk into neighborhood Pizza Hut
>yell at the top of my lungs "FUCK PIZZA"
This is you

>>72214759
Honestly I'm totes to put some 3rd party female heads on cadian torsos and give them the catachan arms and legs. How goffy would it look?

>>72214812
Inspired a much better conversion for cheaper

>>72214997
Blow it our your ass.

>>72215027
>naked apron but it's naked flak armor

>>72215027

>>72215025
I worked in a pizza hut and this would happen occationally, we were right next to the local college and there were loads of special needs students who'd sometimes slip away from their handlers

>>72215049
Underrated movie game IMO. Almost better than the new movie.

>>72214752
GW somehow managed to cultivate an insanely talented group of artists who got so good they rocketed out of GWs price range.

>>72215036
Are you okay?

>>72215017
Barbaric and irregular, each one were huge monsters and no two were the same. They had gaudy colors, jewels, feathered plumes, pelts. Everythi g about them was designed to be intimidating. They had integrated weapon limbs and modified jaws the metal teeth to tear throats. The leader of the Invicta Skitarii named Lau had a feathered cape AND a pnather pelt over his shoulder and a tusked half helmet, and he had some kind of augmetic skin flap would fan out during battle like a lizard

>>72214972
The best part of playing Imperial Guard is that the niggers and trannies are contained in the Catachan regiments.

>>72215049
What's wrong with wanting less shitty female heads?

>>72215051
>you actually need to be mentally retarded to hate grimdark and post in /40kg/
it all fits perfectly together

>>72215063
Seconded, such a great game with an absolutely brutal ending

>>72215066
I'm just funposting anon.

>>72215066
someone wake me up when we get to the point where GW are releasing chapter specific models like this for primaris

>>72214812
Looks pretty dope senpai.

>>72214867
Also looks pretty dope senpai.

>>72215072
Imagine unironically wanting femoid miniatures

What's the thing about nu-crons that is so repulsive for old-crons fags?

>>72214960
that....

looks pretty fucking cool.

>>72215066
>Black Templar
>Primaris
You absolute fucking cunt

>>72214960
that's a big gun

>>72214629
There's a grit and texture to art made with traditional mediums and the imperfections become a part of the piece. But it's incredibly time consuming and expensive compared to digital. Not knocking either mediums. I actually happen to like a lot of the nu-art, but sometimes it's too sterile.

>>72214663
I don't know about cost/pricing on the the individual artists used. I'm just a humble drawfag, but sometimes I can catch the shortcuts used to save time. But sometimes is super obvious like the 3 battlesuits around farsight here.

>>72215083
>>72215063
Is it worth torrenting if the last video game I enjoyed was Underrail?
I tried Bannerlord and Outer Worlds recently but didn't find either of them particularly engaging.

>>72215070
Frankly if I knew how I'd paint some of my Guardsmen to be basketball Americans.

>>72215112
gay

>>72215117
They're immensely boring with very little variation or detail

>>72214960
>a saturnine conversion that isn't shit
Well I'll be damned.

>>72215129
It's literally their best unit :^), you should thank GW for teasing BT stuff during Faith & Fury and *not* updating/buffing their iconic and staple units hihi hoho!! :^)
t. BT player

Reminder if Custodes try to mess up with any relevant chapter they get the dick and the bolter and no one gives a fuck about "muh emperor will"

>>72214822
lol no its not gtfo noob

>>72215123
does it though?
no, the answer is no.

>>72215142
I have no idea. If you're going to steal it there is no risk in trying. I found it to be quite enjoyable as a game even without the movie theme.

>>72215117
Complaining about nucrons is a quick and easy way to pretend you're an oldfag.
>>72215129
Pic

>>72215146
I 100% agree, no femoids in my game tyvm

>>72214498
Infinitely less messy than mine/10

I generally do models 1 at a time
I realize this is horribly inefficient but I get really bad hand cramps making the style I'm doing for my Guard, since I am hand carving, cutting and gluing a lot I can't put them on my holder that I use to paint them.
If I try and do more than 1 at a time I get the most painful cramps and strain in my left wrist.

>>72215158
Well yeah, obviously. The Unforgiven have probably been arranging tragic, fatal accidents to befall pretty much any Custodes who so much as looks at them funny.

>>72215175
Is the game difficult? I can't get into games where enemies (and the player) have loads of health, or where mashing spacebar to dodge is 90% of the combat loop.

>>72214492
I heard it was rather average is it really that bad?

>>72215176
>that fucking beautiful art
i want to turn back time

Female catachans plz, I'm close to just sticking female heads on cadian torsos and giving them catachan arms and legs any susggestions

>>72215215
Not him but average for Black Library is fucking abominable eye-gouging bad.

>>72215117
they went from a galactic threat to a band of upset hermits that aren't a threat at all

>>72215204
I played it on hard and it's not very difficult at all. The driving controls are solid and the combat mostly focuses on melee. The melee operates a lot like the various batman games where you are mashing attack strings and occasionally hitting a button to dodge or parry

>>72215194
that base is very strange
why is he standing on icecubes? why is there black goo next to the icecubes? why is the rest of the base horse poop?

>>72215158
200 dead Primaris best day of my life

>>72215158
Most chapters couldn't hold their own against Custards.

>>72215191
OwO what's this?

>>72215117
Demystification mostly. But then there are also the terrible designs like Tomb Blades, Barges, Arks and Stalkers. Canoptek stuff looked neat, though.

>>72215248
an airbrush?

>>72215194
I genuinely cannot tell if you're trying to paint foppish Englishmen with monocles, dumb hats, and mustaches, or literal Indians.

>>72215224
>Female anything

Please No.

>>72215274
me on the far right
>>72215272
i thought it was a tea kettle

>>72214812
I like the little raygun on the bottom

>>72215215
It is one of those Black Library novels where you plod through the story, which is dull and unengaging, following the points of view of characters you don't ever form an attachment to or particularly care about. Battle happen, dialogue happens but it is all forgettable.

No better or worse than about 90% of Black Library's output but like >>72215228 says, that bar is pretty fucking low, although I wouldn't necessarily describe it as "eye-gouging" myself.

>>72214960
I feel like the torso is too long compared to the legs

>>72215161
;w ;

>>72215163
Does it not thought?
no, the answer is no.

>>72215278

>>72215278
Looks good to me famalam

>>72215288
How hard is it to just not use the ugly heads?

>>72215335

>"haha but like, anon said its beautiful but, haha he's bald and yelling haha xD"
I'm eternally reminded that I share this hobby with retards who lack inner-monologue

>>72215335
Or just learn to paint them properly instead of the dumb GW way like everyone already realised months ago when this was fresh.

>>72215288
They have plenty of good head options don't hyper fixate on the bad ones to push a narrative

>>72215350
What is a "simp"?

I'm thirty years old and find it hard to keep up with the kids and their crazy lingo these days.

>>72215359
My inner-monologue is reminding me that /40kg/ is the worst thread on /tg/

>>72215325

>>72215371
whiteknight

>people talking about toning down violence and making 40k more family friendly

Yeah, I got into 40k when I was a really young kid, and the super dark edgy violence was FUCKING COOL. I feel like there are too many people who never stayed over at their friend's house and watched shit like Terminator or Rambo when they were kids. They never had a big brother or older friend who let them play Resident Evil when their parents wouldn't let them.

I hear shit from millennials who are just becoming parents about how they make sure their kid doesn't go online unsupervised, and I just think, that poor fucking kid. I had folders full of hentai hidden on my parent's PC when I was like 12. The fuck is wrong with all you people. Never did me any harm.

There's no need to tone shit down, all it's doing is ruining everything.

>>72215156
I wouldn't be so fucking livid about Primaris Crusaders if those fat retards at GW made at least one proper knight-esque primaris troop/elite choice.
What about Primaris faggots with big, old power-Zweihänder, huh?
No, everything has to be so fucking tacticool because the inbred fortnite-playing faggot little crotch goblins won't like anything unless it's carrying a sniper rifle and it looks like it's been jizzed on by Rob Liefeld.
Hell I fucking know the bastards want to make money, but it just FUCKING PISSES ME OFF FUCK MAN I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PLAY BLACK TEMPLARS AND WIN A FUCKING MATCH BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE RANGED PRIMARIS OR STEALTHY SHORT BUS CUNTS AND THAT DOESN'T WORK WITH BT FLUFF WISE SO I'M STUCK HAVING TO SIT ON OBJECTIVES WITH MY CRUSADER SQUADS WHILE I SPEND HUNDREDS OF POINTS ON TERMIS AND VANGUARD VETS TO ACTUALLY GET SHIT DONE AAGHHHHHHHH

>>72215386
was calling them white problematic?

>>72215371
Hey boomer, there's this website called "www.google.com" where you can type anything in the search bar, including the word "simp"

>>72215371
Simps are men who act dumb trying to get pussy.
It's the guy at the bar tripping over himself trying to tell a girl she's pretty.
Or the guy doing the same unabashed flattery to a stranger on twitter with a bikini photo.

>>72215371
Im 29 years old and I'll explain what a simp is. Imagine the beta/loser/nerdy men having money and giving money to women who think they're losers but really need to pay rent so they give the beta males attention in exchange for paying rent.

>>72215379

>>72215386
It's different from a whiteknight

>>72215356
Depends on the unit, the battle sister squad has plenty of good heads and a few bad ones, the canoness can get a different head, the ones from the boxset are kinda fucked, and the sepherium have that one at Asian girl

>>72215374
Yeah the people here are borderline retarded, I'm pretty certain they neither play nor collect 40k themselves

>>72215415
white knights can be simps

>>72215391
>Never did me any harm.
Mate you are probably around 30 and still on 4chan. Somethings wrong there.
Don't worry, im the same.

>>72215351
It will never cease to amuse me how the mutant alien monstrosity GSC have gorgeous female sculpts that BTFO tranny Misters of Battle who are supposed to be angelic graceful heavenly amazons in blatantly feminine armor for symbolic purposes.

>>72215398
Words stop being "cool" you should know this by now, we are on like the 5th generation of buzzwords on this site alone, at least shiggydiggy and le monkey face is out of fashion now

>>72215425
somehow you can just see it getting worse and worse over time

>>72215436
I paint them then Reikland fleshshade over them and the skin so they blend in more and stand out less.

>>72215414

>>72215439
You guys don't listen do ya?

>>72215392
I feel you man. Just pimp out your intercessor squads with knightly bits, make them vets, give the sarge a TH or whatever melee option you want and call it a day.

>>72215098
pretty sure it's more likely they remove anything chapter specific

>>72215432
Whiteknights can be simps and simps can whiteknight but they're slightly different

>>72215359
Based and soulpilled

>>72215201
left reminds me of the Enclave power armour
>>72215242
I had yet to paint them black
I am going for a muddy, gravelly kind of ground with shiny black rock clusters and sparse, dry brown grass scattered about
>>72215274
Going for Landsknecht inspired style

>>72215448
Something is going on at GW.

>>72215436
paint them after you've basecoated and washed the skin for the first time, that way when you fuck them up you can correct them without wrecking the rest of the face. Other than that it's a matter of practice, a sharp brush and having a stead hand

>>72215476
Oh SHIT. I didn't realise there's more than 1 female GSC model.

>>72215278
>>72215325

>>72215391
>I had folders full of hentai hidden on my parent's PC when I was like 12

Ah... the days.
I remember having about two and a half gigabytes of Marge Simpson porn on my shitty blackberry-knockoff. I always transferred it from the family computer via USB every couple of evenings.
Or that time when I discovered Yuri...

>>72215456

>>72215476
Yeah it's called the GSC sculptors are skilled and based and full of passion while the Sisters were done with a bunch of executive meddling and oversight by literal trannies.

>>72215476
is it the paint job or the sculpts tho?

>>72215391
Who wants to tone down 40k? Endless war and the brave fight of humanity for survival against more powerful and dangerous alien/daemonic threats is what this whole setting is. You change that you kill 40k

>>72215475
>>72215242
>>72215274
>>72215194

>>72215436
Basically don't.
Apply washes and just black out the eyes when possible, or if that'd be too dark, give them a heavy brow, a highlight on the cheekbone (a la Rembrant's famous cheek triangles) and a dot of Corvus Black (it's not as overpowering as the common Abaddon Black) for the eye.
Trying to paint the whites for a whole army will make you want to kill yourself.

>>72215484
Some of the bikers are female too.

>>72215484
There are actually 4 or 5.

>>72215491
>tfw you weren't e

>>72215448

> I don't know how to just use heads I like

I know it's 4channel but do you all just generalise everything that fits your narrative and then call it a day?

Then again you all seem to be mid 30 boomers

>>72215493

>>72215502
Some of the sisters head sculpts are inherently shit but 100% of the GW paintjobs are bad.

>>72215528
There are like 2 good heads in the entirety of the nu-Sisters range and one of them is a wrinkly old lady lol.

>>72215495

How would you write a female non Sororitas centered story to promote "inclusivity/diversity/equality/nonsense buzzword" that's actual a good 40K story?

My idea would be a female Freeblade Knight during the Horus Heresy falling to Slannesh and eventually becoming a Daemon Prince.

Looks like a drag queen anon.

I've become fascinated with the sheer scale of time that important 40k humans can live and how that affects government and bureaucracy. not even on the galactic importance scale, but on the individual planet or down to individual hivecity scale.

A normal Imperial citizen doesn't get a ab ounce of rejuve medicine so their lifespans are compariable (at best) to ours, meanwhile a governor or planetary leader lives hundreds of years. It's easy to see how citizens would eventually treat their local leaders with a religious tone. The death of a leader for a city or planet must be a traumatic thing that causes social upset. Succession in many cases must have court drama the scale of which we've never seen IRL, winning succession means ruling for centuries instead of decades.

I wonder too how the leaders who are old function. Considering how modern politicians start feeling out of touch with age, this issue must be magnified by the long spans of time. Would a 500 year old governor even think of people as people anymore when making choices about society? What happens when a governor starts getting senile but he's got another 100 years of life in him? Do his advisors just rule from the shadows? Getting rid of a leader is again, a huge change that invites it's own issues. I dunno I just like thinking about it.

>>72215590
You realize that replying to someone asking you to show them something that's not shit is just going to end up with them calling anything you post shit regardless of what it is

These are the kind of cool and interesting quirks of the setting that are never properly explored. I wish we had a Game of Thrones style series written entirely about an Imperial 40k world that doesn't include some apocalyptic invasion of aliens or daemons, but is literally just infighting and politics and intrigue between humans in their interesting future space dystopia with some feral Orks or low-level Chaos cultists thrown in for flavor.

The daemons shit, and your employees eat. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Imperial sons; we have no fear of your copyright, by land and by space we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.

Thou Eldar scullion, Tau dronewright, brewer of a Space Hulk, snotling-fucker of Segmentum Pacifica, Tyranidherd of Greater and Lesser Hive Fleets, grox of the Agri-Worlds, Ratling thief, catamite of the Eye of Terror, hangman of the Tomb Worlds, and fool of all the galaxy and empyrean, an idiot before the God-Emperor, grandson of the Void Dragon, and the crick in our dick. Grox's snout, Mukaali's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unpurified brow, screw thine own mother!

So the Imperial Guard declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding grox for the Imperium. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Emperor, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

>>72214593
This whole Da Vinci design element is a disaster. The Ad Mech knightly looking helmets, combined with religious robes and wires is classic Ad Mech. I'll accept that stuff mashed up with 1950s retro-Fallout tech if done right. But the 1950s tech + Da Vinci tech is constantly conflicting with itself as designs.

I think they look neat as units. I don't think anyone straight up hates them, I think people aren't fond of how they don't aesthetically match up with rest of the army, especially something like an Ornithocopter or Mechanical Horses. I don't mind it myself, I view it as they are just wacky and fun but I can see why that would make other people who like the mech-horror aesthetic of them get turned off.

Not possible due to the dystopian future they've created. You need to remake the entire setting and rules for warhammer universe to stop being grimdark.

If the grimdarkness, one fo the core defning features of the franchise, is putting off new players then it's clear those players aen't interested in the hobby. Why the fuck should it change to accomodate players who are in no way interested in it? This is the most fuckign retared thing I've ever heard, they can go play infinity or something if they like cartoony scifi, 40k is grimdark space fantasy, if you think otherwise you seriously need to fuck off.

It's just hard for my brain to reconcile that Di Vinco winged figures exist in the same force with spider tanks and pic related.

Like the picture is basically An Imperial Guard sentinel but with much more going on with the legs and stabilization.
