Nah, we're Forge of Souls
>>13819053
Dark mechanicus. Or Collegia Titanica and their dark counterpart.
Are the Titan Legions Federation, and the Dark Mechanicus Zeon, then?

Yes.
>If so who represents what factions/warbrands?
Real robot fans are Khorne Daemonkin, super robot fans are Slaanesh Daemonkin, shonen fans are Nurgle Daemonkin, and seinen fans are Tzeentch Daemonkin.
Gundam fans = World Eaters
VOTOMS fans = Death Guard
Macross fans = Thousand Suns
Patlabor fans = Emperor's Children
Valvragers = Word Bearers
Stick to x people = Night Lords
x is worst ever people = Alpha Legion
Forumfags = Iron Warriors
Literally everyone else = Black Legion

>Valvragers = Word Bearers
Nope, Evagfans
>>13819046
Entirely of /m/ is Kharne.
This>>13819158 makes no sense.

Tau is Japanese /m/.
Adeptus Mechanicus is western /m/.

I have no idea what this or anything else in this thread means

The worst posters on /tg/ has come to /m/ to shit up your board for a while instead of ours.
>>13822564
And you're from?
>>13822575
Also /tg/. So let me tell you, you're dealing with 40kid up there, in that opening post.
The thing you have to understand about 40k fans is the game they play. The rules of 40k have always been clunky as shit and it has never been balanced between sometimes you are playing two armies against each other that literally are not even using the same edition of the rules to fight each other. Every time they come out with new lore, its always worse than the lore it is replacing, but that's okay because 40k lore contradicts itself so frequently that everything is equally (non) canon, and the plot only advances in reverse. Everyone has their own head canon and no one agrees with anyone else's head canon and worse yet both sides of any given argument have passages from the book they can quote that say they are right and the other guy is wrong.
40kids don't just tolerate this level of abysmal quality, they enjoy it. Because some people can be amused simply by things being xboxhuge and the spaceships have skulls on them. This is the hobby that they willingly spend a thousand dollars on in order to get a few dozen plastic toys that are not even assembled or painted, and don't even hold their value because in a few years the rules will change and those models will be worthless in play now. Because that's how Games Workshop makes money.
Its a con, its not even a clever con, and even the players agree that they are being fucked sideways in return they are getting shit quality product. But they DONT STOP BUYING because they are already in too deep.

There is no western /m/, because there is no western mecha. And to anyone trying to shoehorn battletech or robotech or other regurgitated scraps of real mecha culture, please grow up.
Warhammer is not mecha, nor is starship troopers, or any other known western-sourced robot scifi that I know of. They are still all inherently better than the attempted thefts that the "western mecha" are.

>But they DONT STOP BUYING because they are already in too deep.
Such is the way of fanatics.
But I'll admit the Space Marine game was alright.
>>13822633
From experience the only reason most people still play it is that everyone else plays it.
That and the modelling component of the hobby.
Though the tide is definitely shifting towards people playing smaller, skirmish games with much better rules, like Malifaux and Infinity.

Zeon is the Collegia Titanica, Titans are the Dark Mechanicus.
Zeon had the original mobile suit, Federation MS design started with the "corruption" of Zakus.

Here's a reply
Your post is ridiculous
>>13822683
I'm not even sure most Warhammer "fans" even play tabletop Warhammer. Like anon >>13822633 said, players are on all sorts of milestone of their own. The PC games, accessible fluff and inspiring presence of the tabletop seems to hold half the fans. Most of the people I've met are buying models are buying to paint and flip them. The tabletop gameplay dogma is shit, their attempts to fix it are shit. Warhammer Fantasy gameplay has gone so far down in sales and quality they literally rebooted the whole field. 40K is probably going to hit a similar reboot switch if A: tabletop interest slides as it has or B: A PC based game brings along so many new fans they'll change course to sell more to them.
