It was great game at least.

Haven't been following this at all but I just saw the ship reveal trailer and wow, good grief what awful CG!!!

I have no words. ><

And yeah, she is fugly.


Probably won't bother tuning in since I don't watch TV anyway.

Is it just me or do the space marines in that trailer look completely wrong and out of proportion? The look more like eldar...long and thin......not a fan of this art-style to be honest. Comparing the intro trailers....in Dawn of War they had the proportions of the table top models, Dawn of War2 ac...

So I posted this earlier in the Computer forum but I figured it couldn't hurt to x-post here: Dawn of War 3 is happening!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZgyNoHtjw That may just be a prerendered cinematic but: Our biggest units ever? Check. Giant orbital lasers? Check. Base-building, epic heroes...

The Lexicanum isn't exactly clear on that; is the Emperor himself consuming the psykers or is the chair directly powered by them somehow? The best impression I got is that their souls/psychic power were metaphysically consumed in a way of transferring their power into him. But it also kills the psy...

As you say, the Lore in general is incredibly diverse and equally hazy. I believe the Emperor has the strength to hold back the creatures of the warp due to his immense psychic fortitude; he really is a one in a trillion kind of Psyker. As for the "fueling", I believe it is stated in this...

Whether he is resurrected or not, his 'soul' is constantly laid bare for the warp anyway. Does this mean the warp beings can read his mind but he's just strong enough to hold them all back? Whether he is resurrected or not, his 'soul' is constantly laid bare for the warp anyway. It's purely his imm...

And by fluff I assume you mean handwavium/technobabble? The term "fluff" is used to denote the lore of the milieu apart from actual technical or mechanical gaming information. That is, "A 5-man squad of Space Marines costs x points to field" is game info - "Fulgrim was know...

We're still around, and this is a question I've been wondering too. Now, to some extent I think it's a matter of practicality. First and foremost WH40k is a tabletop wargame. It has spread out to books, video games, even a movie, but I suspect most fans were exposed to it in some game store and lik...

So I looked at the Warhammer Lexicanum recently, because I appreciate stories crafted with deep lore and detailed worldbuilding. I read/skimmed a few articles, particularly about the Emperor of course, the Warp/Webway, Unifcation Wars (because I was interested in the history up to the Imperium), and...

So wait, does this mean the star wars movies are teen flicks??????????

Vader in the original movies always seemed like a somewhat sad figure to me, especially in the second two. He was evil, sure, but it never felt to me like he was driven by anger or the desire to do evil the way the Emperor was. Right, that was the good in him Luke was referring to and that's what l...

Sorry if I killed this thread, I guess no one else is as annoyed by that as I am? Or none of you see it as a problem?
