40k is a poor man's Dune.
Starship Troopers.
Star Wars.
Star Trek.
Judge Dredd.
Rambo.
Zulu.
Just about every action and war movie from the 70s and 80s.
But Dune is the primary influence.
If you are interested in 40k, don't bother with 40k. Just read Dune, Heinlein, and watch Star Trek. Maybe read Dredd if you're looking for a comic. You'll get all the good parts of 40k, and you'll be reading better literature and thus not pollute your mind.
Dredd is mind pollution, but it's still better than most comic books.

>>255480656
I like 40K AND Dune.
What now?

>>255480965
Read Starship Troopers, watch Star Trek and read Judge Dredd.
That's what.

>>255480653
Actually I forgot that the Tau didn't come out until 2001
Marathon was 1994

>>255477874
Not really. The armour, gun design, ships and powers were like mass effect, the enemy ai and shit being like halo.

>>255481129
XD nice troll, Warhammer from 1987

>>255479779
That came out before the Tau actually.

>>255480656
But it's a mashup of all of them. Some of us like it for the mash-up that it is because it takes from good source material and lots of it. Sure the final result isn't perfect but it's better than a lot of other settings.

GW are thieving cunts because they have to be, otherwise they wouldn't make any profits.
They're stubborn as fuck about their manufacturing process, refusing to automate their processes or open up new manufacturing sites.

>>255481705
Its a lot more Halo than mass effect, obviously since its Bungie. The sparrow and pike feel exactly like a ghost / brute chopper mash up. The Fallen AI are exact copies of the elites and jackals on normal mode, etc.

But for mass effect, the equipment designs for one. Guns, armor, the special abilities, and the Tower being like the citadel, the atmosphere for me felt almost the same, except online.. and no quests.

I mean their prices have just kept rising and whenever they've had sales or deals its always been bottom of the barrel stuff like the little scenery pieces like three drum barrels and an ammo case. On top of that they dont want you using non GW kits or paints etc which is kind of understandable but justified when other companies produce some better and much cheaper kits/paints

Also cause of the price they are slowly losing customers and with shit like >>255482657 its less about the hobby more about the money

WH is already poor so I guess that makes Destiny destitute.

>>255484283
A lot of it is due to their refusal to modernize, expand and automate their manufacturing process.
Currently they still do everything by hand, all the machines are operated by hand, even the packaging is done by hand.

>>255480656

Typical reply. Not what I was getting at. The whole point of the hobby is to collect and build your army piece by piece, improving as you go.

The fun of the hobby is playing against your friends and winning or losing then thinking "If I had a librarian I could..." then heading to the store that weekend and buying a new unit or units and building and glueing them then using them in the next game with different units, terrain, rules objectives etc

Just buying it all in one is just no fun.

>>255485116
Not him but:
It's far more than the ending.
It starts as a game where you can explore space and different cultures of aliens. Cultures that are fundamentally different , wierd , bizzare. Something that can be developed further and further.
And then suddenly it's not about aliens but about drama and the aliens become some sort of background. The more wierd ones remain undeveloped while the humanized ones get more spotlight.
Any options you ever had get reduced and reduced. Even the damn dialogues get less options.
It degraded in every aspect other than combat. But the combat never was really good so it focused on the worst thing it had.
It's not a sudden fall. It's something that constantly gets downgraded.

>>255484648
EYE, a secret group of Cyber-Psychic-Warrior Monks, is in the middle of a coup against the federation to help the Secreta gain power, but there's an internal conflict between the Culter and Jian factions that halts their progress. Also there's an unknown alien energy known as Metastreumonic force that takes the form of monsters that cause trouble for everyone. Halfway into the game you have to choose where your loyalties lie, your longtime Mentor, the Culter leader Rimanah or the Federation. Then you do what they say until the "end" of the game. After which, the game really begins.

Not him, but albeit ME1 was great for it's Space Opera feeling and absence of the action-hero elements, it was still a pretty bad game from a gameplay standpoint.
All optional quests took place on essentially the same, randomly generated "planet" with a different color and maybe 1/2 the game consisted of totally uninspired driving around in empty environments.
Compared to BG2 or KotOR it was quite lacking.

Nah. In fluff, the Eldar are not pushovers to space marines, unless they are being led by plot armored special characters, and in the actual tabletop, Eldar are the superior army when compared to muhreens.

Games Workshop is a bunch of Jews. They used to keep really tight control on their IP (partially because of WAR tarnishing WFB). But now they're letting a lot of developers share the rights, and we're getting a TON of games, and most of them sound interesting.

>>255496437
nope warcraft never had such budget man

Like others have said I think GW originally wanted to make games with Blizzard, but GW backed out for whatever reason, leaving Blizzard with a half (if not fully) finsihed game, so they just chnaged some names about and published it, and then made history!

The sad thing is the original Warhammer Online (WO) - by Climax was going to be released a bit before WoW, but due to GW pulling out due to a larger then expected budget, the IP for warhammer bounced around loads before Mythic grabbed it and actually finished it.

There are many many older (and worse) WH and 40k games, Shadow of the Horned Rat, Realm of Chaos, Rites of War, Final Liberation, etc. But those were turn based games, basicly computerised versions of table top games.

Thes also a Bloodbowl game out that is inch for inch a digital version of the game. THough there are rumours of a FPS in the form of Space Hulk on the way...

>>255496092
Right, it's more along the lines of eternal payments.

No, just no.

Blizzard started WC and was negotiating for GW to allow them to attach it to the Warhammer IP. Games Workshop wanted way more control and money than was reasonable to any company because they'd ripped of Tolkein before Blizzard did. Blizzard had to change everything to prevent GW from suing them.

GW made a horrendous business decision because that the only kind of business decision they know how to make.

Warcraft was made for six bucks and a case of piss weak American beer. Now Blizzard is massive and Games Workshop is a cluster-fuck.

>>255496959

Oh yeah, it's a sad story when it comes to GW.

Warhammer's IP has virtually no value to any quality developer simply because Games Workshop is an absolutely horribly run company that's even worse to deal with when you want to keep things professional.

They have a passion for their product but their taste is in their toenails and their common sense is utterly absent.
