Why are Tau fighting at that close range, especially with no Kroot?

I fucking hate it too, everyone does.

I remember a facebook post from someone who used to work for GW explaining why it's no longer dark and gritty.

IIRC tldr it's "Dark and gritty doesn't appeal to everyone. Clean art means more people can understand what they're looking at in the image ie 'Oh, these are wolfen'"

Don't give a fuck, it's ugly as fuck, completely unthematic with the 'grim dark future'.

Compare that shit ass clean art to the old wulfen art. Sure it's much 'worse' drawn, but the old art has personality to it, you can feel their character.

Lel. They're wulfen, they basically lived in the eye of terror so who the fuck knows

>DRAMATIC BATTLE POSE
>SHINY ARMOUR

They literally survive on plot armour if you read the newest wulfen book. (Sorry I meant 'rage') Literally like a big demon battle comes along, kill some wulfen big boss or whatever, wulfen get 'an
gry' and 1v9999 the demon incursion and win because they're 'angry'

Not an assault. The city at the background is Tau, so it's probably an Imperial purge. They can't hold units in reserve when the Guard brings Knights and Super Heavies to the attack.

I prefer the clean art, in most of the old art everyone was overdesigned as fuck, the composition was a complete clusterfuck and nobody knew how to draw guns or firing stances. Except for that one old artist, but I always forget his name

>>46960505
Yes

I like how that image isn't even (wholly) satire. Chaos has frequent problems with their equipment because they use retarded, disposable slaves for everything.
