If the Emperor completed his Webway project, what would have happened to the Navigators? Would they all have been purged?

Given the power that the Navigator Houses hold, would it also therefore follow that the Navigators had a vested interest in the Webway Project failing? I know it was supposed to be secret, but people talk and the Navigator Houses would surely have heard whispers about a potential threat to their existence, perhaps through someone in the Emperors service on the project, who was also on the payroll of a Navigator house to keep tabs on what the Lord and Saviour of Mankind was up to?

No. Auxilliary is a seperate thing.

There's the CAD with HQ, Troops, Fast Attack etc.

That's a kind of detachment. There's also different ones for specific factions.

These guys get detachments with specific formations, which are groups of units.

An Auxilliary is a kind of formation not in the core or command section.

Now hear me out but I think there's a chance of Sanguinius returning.

Blood Angels were left on a cliff hanger that doesnt involve Terra therefor they can do the same thing as Warzone Fenris and advance the setting but then have everyone heading to Terra so nothing technically changes. Theres enough hints and funny business going on with them already so although its unlikely, so is dreadnought Guillimen or Grotesque Khan.

No. This will never happen unless the leader is/was a human in power armour.

This is just dumb. Your clearly making a ridiculously exaggerated statement here drawn only from the one Dawn of War game.

The Tau treat their captives better than the Imperium (not that that is an achievement) but its true. Why does that offend you? Its just a part of the game's lore that Tau are more merciful and humane, big deal, the nids are man eating bugs, does it offend you that the Imperium doesn't eat as much biomass as nids?

At the end of the 13th Black Crusade, Abaddon will be stopped when Roboute Gulliman tries to call on the Galaxy to lend him energy for a Steel Rain Bomb, and nobody listens until Ciaphas Cain gets on the vox network and rallies everyone to give energy.
>>
>>50543626
I need this.
>>
>>50542967
Yes. By far. Its simple really; Tau will allow life forms to live with a rather wide margin of freedoms, civil liberties and comfortable living standards.

All other factions (barring Eldar) are explicitly dedicated to wiping out all other life in the galaxy. Neither are great options so, in the setting, Tau are far more benign than all other factions (which in 40k isn't saying much but, at the same time, is true).

Farsight Enclaves might be even better than the Empire. Exodites also give them a run since Exodites only react defensively. If no-one invades their planets the Exodites don't hurt anyone else.

>>50543558
AoS wasn't 40k. Additionally Fantasy, which AoS came from, always had more balanced factions and characters. Orcs and Goblins in Fantasy wiped out a whole 12th of the Empire permanetly.

40k is different. All that matters and wins in 40k is Marines or Chaos Marines.

So AoS doesn't prove anything. Only Marines and Chaos will be getting big boy characters (and I can bet you already Marines are going to beat each Primarch in every book they appear in).
>>
>>50543556
Years and Years ago several people from BL and GW expressed interest in doing the Age of Apostasy once HH was finished.

It'll never happen as that means they would have to write about the Sisters, let alone them kicking Marine arse towards the end.

But it's fun to dream of what could never be.

Mecha Shas'Obama will be immune to vampiric space butterflies as par Tau fluff. Doesn't matter if the vast majority of Tau will be zombies kept alive by implants but Mecha Shas'Obama has to find a use for the dead Tau.
>>
>>50543706
I don't know. It took the Emps to kill Horus and everyone knows the Emps is stronger than all life in the galaxy so I don't think just humans will work on Abaddon (particularly if he's got all 4 Gods blessings and Drach since now we know Drach can go toe-to-toe with the Emporer)

>>50543670
Why would the Void Dragon control Tau Tech? Sure he has technopathic powers, but he's not ingrained enough to take over it all. The Void Dragon poses the largest threat to the Imperium since he's been incoporated into the core of their technology.
>>
>>50543672
Honestly, it's just the "they're mostly good guys" that I have a problem with.

Everyone is supposed to be so terrible, the Imperium are the good guys.

Yet, the Tau.

I love their mechs, love their cyber-asian feel, but fuck me are they too morally good to be in 40k.
>>
>>50542967
They're the reasonable aliens (aliens with whom one can reason) that make them some interesting diplomacy rather than waging massive war.

They are also interesting as being the other superpower a human may be interested to turncoat without being involved in religious change of beliefs, it's just politics.
>>
>>50543738
Before End Times.

Post-End Times its crap. But Pre-End Times it was way better than 40k has ever been (in terms of equal shine for the factions)

So if we're talking about a reboot AoS style for 40k expecting balance among factions is stupid. In 40k what matters are Marines and the people they kill. In fantasy all the Factons mattered to a great deal till End Times came along.

40k just doesn't have anything comparable to the Dwarf losses of the Goblin Wars, the loss of Solland and Sylvania and such. The Imperium suffers no major losses similar to it.

That's the whole point of 40k.

Imperium might be the worst place imaginable to live, but the alternatives are somehow even worse.

That's what I mean by good guys.
>>
>>50543749
Not the anon you were talking to but I disagree, although perhaps I'm not as well versed in the lore as you.

The tau are all brainwashed holier than thou crusaders bent on converting the filthy nonbelievers to their "greater good" ideology. Typically by the edge of a sword. They are led by morally bankrupt, shady, leaders that enforce a rigid caste system and seriously censor knowledge.


I think of them like the imperium but with less outright judgement and therefore they look a lot more "good" than they really are
>>
>>50543767
Personally the part of this I like is that the Tau tend to actually experience feelings of ambiguity in war which none of the other factions do and that's rare enough in 40k to be fun.

In Fire Warrior, the novel, for example Kais injures a guardsman but then doesn't want to kill him since the man poses no more threat to him. But the man keeps screaming because he's in pain and Kais keeps asking him to be quiet, so as not to attract guards, but eventually panics and kills him.

I like that. Kais felt bad about doing something necessary for him to survive. A Marine could never experience that. He'd never just 'injure' a Tau to start with, he'd make sure its dead. Heck a Marine would kill every Tau mother he met and stomp on their babies in front of their eyes.

Nothing wrong with Marines. But its fun to have a different perspective at times, see another theme to a story. Just my thoughts though.

Buddy, they aren't the only faction mostly composed of decent dudes. Imperium, non-dark Eldar, even some Necron Dynasties
>>
>>50543749
IMO the only problem with the Tau is that they havent written in yet their 'flaw' yet. Where is the drone squad deflecting fire from themselves onto the Tau hinting at a problem with their sentient AI? Where is the human psyker population causing problems? I loved the little fluff about the Taus experiments with genestealers because that is exactly what they would do and exactly how it would bite them in the ass.

I guess I hate that the Tau are so small because they cant have any serious flaws because it would end them too easily.

>>50543825

They also don't intend to kill all life in the galaxy. That's a pretty big difference for every non-human in the galaxy who wants to live a peaceful life like Hrenians and Nicassar.

Their most beloved figure left the Empire shattering the facade of unity and is currently being lead down the path of Chaos.
They can't have a serious fall yet, because they haven't risen, but all the setup you'd want to see is already there.
>>
>>50543856

Honestly their AIs going nuts would be horrendously dissapointing as a direction to go. It'd rapidly turn them into a smaller, blue-er imperium made of the same kinda burned by tech luddites.

Necrons are insane and only treat you okay because they're so crazy they think you're one of them.

Eldar see you as an animal, not a person and would either directly or indirectly murder you and everyone you know as soon as blink if they thought it would save a single Eldar life.


>>50543866

You are using the human perspective constantly, not a literal one for one OTP jargon use fine, but you treat the humans as the protagonist heroes as the basis for your analysis of everyone else, despite humanity being one of the most aggressive and self absorbed races.

Humans are usually depicted as being as good-at-heart as Tau characters, with the Tau usually having a more two faced agenda reviled in a predictable monologue.

In the Horus Heresy it is canonically stated by both Horus and Fulgrim's men that anything but eradication of Xenos is forbidden by the Emperor.

When Horus wants to parley with the Interex and Fulgrim with the Eldar their men protest because they point out that the Emperor's policy is all alien life must be eradicated on the spot.

It is only the private enterprise of these Primarchs in defiance of the Emperor's orders which sees any negotiations.

Also what xenos-species did they protect? What Federation did they ally with? The Diasporex? Interex? All of them were killed.

Also what is a sanctioned Xenos? A term used on frontier worlds for when a Xenos is useful and this sanciton is withdrawn as said Xenos is no longer useful. The Imperium literally has the extermination of all non-humans as part of its primary ideological make up.

For crying out loud its a grimdark game, fucks sake trying to cast the Imperium as actually incorporating Aliens.
>>
>>50544667
No they don't. Heat death would imply inevitable and advancing.

Xenos threats never advance, they only die. Completely incorrect analogy.

The Xenos represent the threat of a group of little bunny rabbits to a modern army; in other words no threat at all.

You don't get how experience works do you?

You realize that different biological beings can and do acquire experience in skills in totally different ways? That since they're different biological composition there is no reason a Tau needs to acquire experience in a field at the same temporal rate as humans.

Experience between radically differing biological entities is not a constant temporal advancement. Biologically Tau have the capacity for acquiring experience more rapidly than humans in certain niches, the same way numerous organisms in reality do.

Biology doesn't work the way you think it does.

Tau gaining experience faster than Necron (who have degraded) or humans just mean that Air Caste members biologically can temporally more rapidly develop said skills. Its biology, not wank. (Or no more wank than a million other things in the setting)

It's also proof Morkai can enslave Khorne's power apparently. Why did the Emperor never ask Morkai for help or instruct his Librarians to use 'safe' psychic from Morkai?

They went from biologically more adapted to certain tasks, but lacking in experience because of their shorter lifespans. Compensating for that with high tech.

Well, some on the Imperium apparently believe that Orks are a threat.

One High Lord is even quoted as mentioning that he fears Orks will inherit the galaxy and not Mankind.

I believe Orks are also the foe Mankind has been fighting longer than any other in the setting.

The Iron Hands codex also mentioned something about the growing number of Ork Waaagh!s being problematic.

It has been said before Tau are worst biologically speaking to humans in every shape or form. They counter this with new fancy tech.

So the Tau Pilots being outright better was so much bullshit.

Oh and don't get me started about the Storm surge. Tau had used flayers to deal with Titans (Knights are just small titans) and other big nasty ground things.

So logically Tau needed a Titan to fight titans since... mmm sales yes!
>>
>>50544947
Tyranid have lost every war.

Also every time a Hive Fleet is destroyed that Biomass is lost to the Tyranids forever. Behemoth, Kraken, Gorgon, Naga and such are all net losses. Complete net losses for the nids. The primary goal of the nids is to eat and they fail miserably at it because they keep getting every single one of their meals eradicated.

Nids suck.

technically incorrect, at least in the case of the pilots

Air Caste pilots are more suited to air combat roles than humans, but Imperial Navy pilots are always fighting at a disadvantage, usually at much worse odds. And when you're used to dogfighting eldar, tau planes are baby mode.

to quote the original tau codex
>All pilots are of the air caste and have superior three-dimensional situational awareness to human pilots and marginally higher acceleration tolerance. This makes them naturally more gifted pilots, but the experience of the best imperial pilots gives them a hard edge which the air caste struggles to match.

>Imerpium is hopeless

Only on planets that are on the front against Xenos/Chaos. The core worlds of the Imperium are pretty normal, because it's easier for the Planetary Governors to give the people decent lives than for them to devote their existance to gorging themselves on the people, leading to open rebellions and an Inquisitorial bullet for become a Slaanesh worshipping faggot. If that WASN'T the case, the Militarum and Space Marines would be too busy fighting to enforce the wills of asshole to fight everything else.

Purely logistically, the Imperium cannot be that awful.

I feel we need either a higher degree of granularity in the ruleset, or Marines need a major points bump and a boost in statline a bit, as well as removing some of their more rediculous toys and rules.

It used to be where the Leman Russ Vanquisher was produced at.

The original before Orks sacked it.

Now it's producing weapons and engines of war for the Orks, Kill Tanks being the most notable.

Mordax Prime is in the Scarus Sector where Eisenhorn used to operate.

It's now producing Gargants for the Orks.

And the Black Templars and Salamanders are in the sector, but it doesn't look like they'll be pushing the Orks off their gains anytime soon.

Power flaming high heels are not that bad. At least it won't be sigmarine style.

Ok who I'm kidding if the new SoB are not on pair with the new SoS (kind of dislike how the models look) I'm going to bitch a moan for a month. Maybe less

>>50545678
game-wise you'd see those battles as 30-50 marines vs 100-150 orks which would probably get crumped easly, but in real(fluff)-wise, i'd be several strike forces of 100 marines, againts milions of orks, and man of their walkers/tanks/buggies/bikers/flyers squadrons. Sheer number of flesh and bullets overwhelm most of oponents, especially when they just spawn out of nowhere, when battle goes.

If it's any consolation, AOS stormcast eternals came from Blanche concept art, and the final minis weren't exactly very Blanche-esqe.

I'm not really helping, am I? Bit of a monkey's paw solution, really.

Use the side of your brush. Those are really easy.

>Then you clearly haven't read fluff.

That a fortified world producing titans has suitable orbital defenses to repel or at least stall an orbital assault?
That is takes a substantial fleet to break the defenses, gain orbital superiority, and safely maneuver to engage in ground bombardment.
That a space marine strike force would lack the number of ships needed to break an ork fleet defending a titan forge, let alone hold off harassment to gain orbital superiority so they could safety launch a ground assault.
That a ground assault would be met with billions of orks and gargants rushing to fight.

It's not a matter of would space marines win. (They wouldn't without support given what that would means tacticly to the orks.) It's whether they could even get to the fight. You don't fly space marines in and land them on a planet full of ork with out orbital support and an evac plan for shits and giggles.

Hence more important.

Which really does support the notion that the Tau were never designed to sell to an Asian market.
Which is exactly what I said.

'Inspired by X' does not mean 'Sell to X'.

Please Ragnar and Cato could solo the planet.

Honestly when have Orks ever beat the named Chapters? It doesn't happen. Mordrax and Tigrus clearly weren't very important otherwise someone like Tellion would have been sent and killed the Orks no problem.

Marneus can fight a whole fucking Waaagh!!! on his own and Cato can kill a Waaagh!!! using just Scouts with knives.

They haven't lost yet.

But on their own, it's unlikely they're going to just march in and evict the Orks from whats become a heavily fortified Mek World.

The Raven Guard and Elysians tried something similar on Kastorel-Novem (also now an Ork World) and wound up being overwhelmed by Boyz and Walkers and forced to quit the campaign.

What makes you think the hive gangers you're playing with are the ruling elite of the houses, rather than just the street thugs?

A bunch of inner city thugs aren't really representative of the city council, now are they?

So I've been painting a few boxes of IG that I picked up after seeing my friends armies and I'm thinking about actually playing the game. I have a pair of Chimeras a Cadian Command Squad, a Leman Russ, and two squads of Shock Troopers one with a grenade launcher and one with a flamer. Is what a have viable for playing? I was thinking of picking up the Start Collecting box as well because the commissar looks pretty cool.

Lean elbows on table, model held in left hand brush in right. Brace right hand against left wrist to make a stable cradle, wipe most of the paint off the brush for highlights. Slow, careful strokes. I'm guessing I just need more practice?

Traitor Legions has given me inspiration to finish my Word Bearer's host: I'm trying to come up with some unique markings/insignia/adornments to put on their armor, especially stuff I can do to personalize squads and give them a sort of common 'theme'. I'm thinking of faking some of the Colchis star markings like Duncan talks about in the HH video for painting word bearers, and doing a similar marking for each squad (Each Squad being a small subset of the Word Bearers cult, who do chaos rituals together for religious purposes).

Any ideas of what else I can do to personalize my marines?

No shit. Its fucking GW writing for crying out loud. The Emperum gets to have its cake and eat it too. Every time. A crushing defeat they will never have. But they get to keep all the "OMG the IG trys so hard and the imperium is dooomed, but here comes a SM to save the day!"

Everything you just listed has a place in IG

Leman russes are boss, chimeras are boss, and command squads are great for orders

Grenade launchers suck shit and I don't use flamers but everyone else seems to like them for defending your chimera from assaults

The start collecting is great because you could always use more troops and tanks, sell the commissar unless you're going for massed troops

After that you'll have an awesome base and none of those models will sit on your shelf unused, play a few small games and decide if you want to take the path of massed troops, orders, and heavy weapons teams, or the path of pask, tanks, atillary, and more tanks
