So you're telling me that the unit designed to kill big models is good at killing big models?
Preposterous!
It’s killed both the Lion and Mortarion
Why can’t real life cities be 10 mile tall gothic metropolises with red and black and skulls and statues of weeping saints everywhere
hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock
Most relatable post about creative writing I've ever seen.
It's not an exercise in creativity; I'm doing that constantly. It's an exercise in taking that creativity and setting it in stone, putting it on a medium that can be shared.
Me @ writers: you just make that shit up from your brain???
Given Malcador's expression, that's exactly what just happened.
You know that time a couple invited the Queen of England to their wedding and she actually showed up? Imagine someone kinda jokingly inviting a Primarch or even Big E Himself and to their shock (and likely horror) they rsvp
Fucking hilarious. Big E could technically shapeshift into a less recognizable form but where's the fun in that? He arrives as he is, with Malcador as his plus one.
DEI is about hiring people who are probably qualified, but aren't on paper due to missed opportunities.
It's not about hiring people who are very obviously unqualified, but get a pass due to friends in high places. Trump is doing the exact opposite of DEI: HUE (Homogeneity, Unfairness, Exclusivity) hiring.
White MAGA is massively unqualified.
You will never escape. (Okay, well, that's not entirely true. You might be able to if you look hard enough.
i hate it when people are writing a long ass thing and start a parenthetical aside and forget to close parentheses it makes me feel like i cant escape from the sentence
I love how, in any sane setting, the T'au would be The Villains, capital T capital V, but in 40k they're about the closest the setting gets to "good guys". They're an expansionist colonial empire that tries to force their ideology on everyone they meet and exterminates the people they deem incompatible with it, and somehow, because 40k is just that fucked up, they are one of the more reasonable factions in the galaxy.
We also see the Eldar fighting Emperor's Children on the codex cover that was released.
The unexpected 3rd party will be, of course, Trazyn the Infinite.
Given Fulgrim's absolute OBSESSION with swords and especially those that come with weird gimmics and magics attached to them, how high are the chances that he has the final Eldaer Cronesword in his arsenal? The one supposedly inside Slaanesh's palace and utterly unreachable?
Will this be how the Ynnari will suddenly be relevant again? All because Fulgrim had negative impulse control and also annoyed Slaanesh for 10,000 years to get that one special sword they keep locked away for good reason as it involves their self-preservation?
As we are due for a Drukhari update this edition the story part of it might feature the Ynnari just to dunk on the Emperor's Children after their release (the same way Angron got dunked on in Arks of Omen after he had a chance to wreck shop).
Oh I can see it already: They showed off that new Warp Spiders Phoenix Lord lady - that one will get an story of breaching into the divine palace, and realizing "wait, THE SWORD IS NOT HERE?!" which then coincides with Fulgrim's return to realspace wielding that blade. The Ynnari see it is "all or nothing" now and pull their connections and strings in the Dark City, the Craftworlds, the Harequins, and of course the Ultramarines (this is still GW writing, so Rotate Girlboss is here as well) to just throw a giant force at Fulgrim.
As this is a typical 40k storyline an unexpected 3rd party will obviously gank that fight for their own gain and turn every plan upside down, but up until that point we have a pretty solid framework I'd say.
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
