Cadians have the best aesthetic and are an important part to the imperium as a whole.

Why is the imperium ALWAYS losing ground. They lose about a million planets every chance they get. How are they even a thing still.
>>
>>50800084
>1100 marines doing shit against a crusade of millions of marines

Also the Black Templar were stuck and stranded fighting Tyranids when they accidentally smashed into them while chasing Ghaz.

How was it possible that they managed to escape? And If they escaped, then what about the Hive Fleet tendrils the swore to destroy? The Tyranids will devour the Imperials worlds and continue on its advance into the Imperium.

The Templar basically screwed everyone by abandoning their duty.

Actually, none of the past crusades were meant to take Cadia. Only the 13th one as part of the Crimson Path is meant to take Cadia and destroy its pylons.

And there no amount of regrouping that can protect you from the Crimson Path. With the Pylons gone, the Eye of Terror will expand towards Terra and all over the galaxy.

So unless Necrons pop up and pull multiple functional pylon array in the right position to stem the tide of madness (And why would they do that?), the galaxy is screwed.

well there are several Black Crusades actually. A "Black Crusade" is a general term for "chaos got its shit together" but generally the Numbered crusades were invasions into Cadian space, with Cadia as a target. And Cadia held. Crusades 1-2-3-5-6-10 and 13 were definately Cadian grab attempts.

I wonder how GW is going to retcon the importance of Cadia
>>
And we have reports of the group situation from Ragnar Blackmane's novel.

All the cities of Cadia are destroyed. The skies are permanently shrouded by the dust, smoke, and chaotic energies.

Thousands upom thousands of Cadians have been corrupted and they are throwing themselves at those loyal, Crossed style.

Cadia is said to be a world dying. There is no going back.

I meant Abaddon's Black Crusades which are the only crusades that matter and 12 of them didn't have the objective of taking over Cadia.

All new Chaos lore focuses on the Crimson Path and the Crimson Path requires Cadia to fall. Cadia never has been this important.

Cadia has been a lynch pin planet for well over 10,000 years as its litteraly the gate to hell. Only the Planet kept the Eye stable enough to send out large fleets coherently.

With cadia destroyed/lost it means that Chaos has a direct line to Terra almost uncontested. Cadia has ALWAYS been important

Then what? Age of Primarch? so its just space Marines vs Chaos marines? 40k is kill?

I really wonder what the endgame is here?
>>
I would to bring to your attention the fact that billions of Cadians including their best tank commander (Pask) failed to defeated the Tau Empire in a ground war in "Mont'ka".

So of course if they cannot handle little xenos, they won't handle the 13th Black Crusade. Cadians are WEAK!

you actually think its feasible for the templars to take on the nids alone? that would require all of the imperium and several other xeno factions. With all the X factors in 40k regarding who can take over the universe, the imperium is stuck in a losing defensive battle. The only factions with the strength to attack right now are nids, necrons (if they suddenly wake up), and chaos.

I'd like to imagine there is a Final War Doctrine Cadians have where they either toss regiments out to colonize a new homeworld, or they bassicially dropp all warzones and raller their forces to take back the planet.

That or Cadia becomes the 40k Equivalent of Caldari Prime, and is just a husk of a planet fought over for the symbolism of it.

The way WoM ended honestly has me wondering if Abbadon won't be moved out of the spotlight. Having Cadia fall would more or less require an End Times for 40k but some of GW's comments so far seem to indicate there won't be one. So either there's going to be End Times or the 14th BC will fail and Abbadon will take a backseat to the now active traitor Primarchs.
>>
>>50800761
No, the text from the rulebooks say that these are the final days of the Imperium. Not years or decades. DAYS.
>>
>>50800761

I'm not saying they are. I'm saying there's better than the other options at the moment. Like I said earlier, they should make something new instead of using the same lame shit they have for years.

>>50800782
So it's fine leaving the Tyranids eat Imperial worlds?

The Necrons are also hard to defeat. Do you see the Ultramarines running from them? No, the ultramarine are facing the Necron legions pouring over Ultima Segmentum head on.

again the imperium has to deal with immediate threats. im sure a few lesser chapters will get dispatched to stem the tide of nids. The Templars have to help Cadia because they've fought this war before, and the imperium can't afford to lose.
>>
So basically it looks like the setting is advancing, and the imperium is getting thrown under the bus and Chaos is gonna win again like in fantasy. Is that basically what i'm hearing? Because i don't much fancy sucking chaos fag cock like gw, so this is kinda irritating.

>>50800826

Yeah and the nids will never arrive in full force and the necrons will never fully awaken and the orks will never unite under a deserving warboss and the elder will still never be relevant and the Admech will never recover a full stc and the Emperor will still never awaken.

ok found the nid player. I understand your lore says you are the greatest threat to humanity but the truth is that chaos is too. The nids are primal monsters and will have to be dealt with last. Defeating the nids will require that chaos and necrons are unable to intervene, and that eldar and tau join with the imperium. I'm sure the plan right now is to just use the exterminatus guns they have to destroy any approaching hive fleets

A phyric Victory is just as effective as it falling. Cadia can't weather another attack. Chaos is regrouping. The Imperium needs to pull assets and conceede ground to the Tau to hold. 2 minutes to Midnight Imperium about to get fucked.

They have to actually destroy the pylons first. Just taking Cadia is the first step, not the final step. There would likely be time between Cadia falling and the pylons blowing up.

>>50801114
According to Ward, during the time where the 13th Black Crusade is being launched, the Necrons entered into a galaxy wide silence. While the races of the galaxy are fighting for survival, the Necrons are mysteriously quiet.

I think that implies that the Necrons went to asleep again.
>>

yea but fantasy wasn't like 40k. there are factions in 40k that are dying and not selling, but the entire fantasy franchise was dying and not selling. if fantasy had made money they would have never stopped it. I wouldnt even be surprised if LOTR makes more money than fantasy did in its dying days
>>
>>50801176
Or they're preparing to do something themselves. I don't really see why they'd all just go to sleep when last I heard the Silent King was working on gathering as many forces as possible to fight off the nids. Unless something has changed because desu I don't really follow Necron lore.

Ghaz already BTFO the tyranids on octarius, if he unites these factions it could be game over for abbadon. Or just draw the conflict out over decades, which seems to be the intent.
>>
>>50802376

Well it's been stated that Ghaz's objective is to unite all the Orks in the galaxy into one immense WAAAGH. If he's finished with Octarius, then Dregruk and Gathrog would be a logical next step.

There's also the neat symmetry of Ghazzy showing up to thwart Abbadon in the same way that Grimgor thwarted Archaeon in the original Storm of Chaos.
>>
>>50802376
No, he didn't. He defeated the Tyranid swarm besieging the capital world of Octarius. The Tyranids responded by sending two more tendrils to the planet. Ghaz is now stuck fighting the Tyranids there.

Her has his special mekboy making a teleporter that can send him back to Armageddon.
>>
>>50802400
You do know that GW hated Storm of Chaos ending and buried it so deep before retconning it. Gav comments on it in one of his interviews,

If there is going to be symmetry, then it will be Abaddon beheading Ghaz like Archaon did with Grimgor in the End Times.

Why are all Kriegfags like that? Seriously, me too I have a friend who is obsessed by Krieg to the point of autism. What in the lore or in the game makes this regiment so horribly attracting to autists?
>>
>>50803607
In the same way Fenris is an Eldar planet.

Yes
>>
>>50803655
Kriegers are unfeeling inhuman monsters, just like the average autist.
>>
>>50803655
Aesthetically Krieg is a blend of WW1/WW2 Germany, which of course, attracts the "I know a lot about history" crowd who associate this with efficiency, cool uniforms and effective weapons. It's a cool aesthetic, as shallow and ill used as it is.

We then have the fanatical "our for the Emperor" stuff, i.e., 'deus vault', and the romantic notions attributed to religious fatalism.

And then we have the romanticism of war and the "average soldier" who's so brave, despite being a robot. The naive notions of a robot man being some sort of heroic figure as he runs across no mans land, gleefully being gunned down by the enemy, because he 'believed in something'. Because he was 'hardcore'.

It's the idea that the Death Korps are some sort of amazing force, beyond all other Guardsmen, because they aren't really human. It's also a case of severe autism, and a true misunderstanding of the horror of war.
>>
>>50803558
I'm okay with us having new poster boys just not like this. Ironically looks like the Orks may bail us out. Since Imperial reinforcements are spread to thin on all fronts.

Seriously though I'm getting tired of Chaos fanboys always wanting something else. I feel like Guard gets no love these days and we may be headed the path of the sisters!?
>>
>>50803688
It's almost as if the lore presents regiments through some sort of filtered viewpoint rather than through fact-based objectivity...but that's never ever happened in 40k!
>>
>>50803697
i think it's nigh impossible we'll go the way of the sisters
we're still a very popular faction despite still being in sixth
it's anyone's guess why we haven't been updated , GW kinda shot themselves in the foot by offering 5 different flavours of guard with different models but without special rules

i don't "mind" cadia falling , i mind the fact that cadians seem to have very little to do with the matter according to the first book

honestly i would've liked it if the series had started with the defense of cadia by creed even if he failed , the second book should have been about the reclamation crusade
>>
>>50803688
If I had the cash monies, I'd pick up some Kriegers. Visually, they are probably one of the best designed armies in 40k. They meet that Grimdark, Techno-punk aesthetic without being too over the top and Age of Sigmaresque about it.

I think there's a large community of Krieg-fans that also enjoy the futility of war aspect, that seems to be ever-present in their design. Just take a look at the Commisar and Retinue kit. You're not supposed to be celebrating the death of the injured Guardsman at the hands of his commanding officer, so much as lamenting the tragedy of the act.
>>

I'm waiting for Stalingrad to happen on Cadia. Your a Valhallan so I think you know what I mean by this.

>Abadon thinks it's done start sending forces off Cadia to surrounding areas and spreading thin.
>Disaster happens or something causing Chaos forces to reel but not Imperial (WAAAGH!!! Anyone?)
>Guard make a breakthrough due to this and start encircling chaos forces and destroying them.

Could also work if you think of it in terms of that sector or System. I just feel we may lose Cadia but I hope we try to take it back. Or it goes into a three way war with Orks.
>>
>>50803878
Vostroyans are way better looking and in theme tho.
>>
>>50800055
Wait... isn't things bad already in 40K?
I mean... Chaos doesn't want Cadia to fall, if Cadia falls they'll have an even more superior front, destroyed the second heaviest defense point of the imperium and might even win the war because of it, the Chaos gods doesn't want the war to be won... or finished at all.

Seriously, Cadia falling doesn't make much sense, unless the Imperium get it back later.

I know that krieg guy was being a fag but fuck me you've got a stick up your ass.

Kreig parodies an aspect of the human experience just like the Vallhalans, Catachans, Mordians or Tallarns. Sure, it's an edgy fatalistic view, but really how much more so than any other subject in 40k, with sadism elves, big brother controlled aliens, literal demons.

It's noted in the canon the Death Korps are not perfect, their restricted mode of thought and singleminded pursuit of the immediate objective is wasteful and tragic. Maybe a greater commentary on one of our historical events?

Understanding or misunderstanding war is up to the maturity of the individual person. I personally think "the story of the misfit group of guardsman who always survive by the skin of their teeth" is also a underestimation of the horror of war.

Because none of them actually read the lore. They get drawn to the faction by meme pictures of, "Purge the heretic!" and "Deny the Witch!" and assume they know everything about the faction because that's what their friend told them 12 years ago.

It's also why Abadabadoo doesn't just blow it up, even chaos needs a stable exit to leave the eye.

GW will NEVER break the status quo. Either the 13th Black Crusade will fail and new characters will compete to become warmasters (Lorgar, Angron, hell, even that shitter Fabius Bile), or the Cadians will just receive a deus ex machina from a massive relief army (Smurfs, probably).

That's basically what happened at the end of the 13th black crusade last time. I'm not going to check if he who shall not be named was here, but Cadia technically "fell" at the end of the campaign. Creed even puts out a message to have the surviving regiments go underground and start marshalling more forces.

Reason it took so long is the necrons blew up abaddon's intended super weapon, so he had to spend the duration of the campaign slowly glassing the surface of cadia while the imperial navy blew up the entire chaos fleet.

The only thing that really sucks about this is that the community already fought the 13th black crusade back in 3rd edition. And the Imperium and their Eldar allies for the campaign won. Big. GW was pushing so hard to have Chaos and the other Xeno factions win the campaign but the results were clear.

Now, several years later, instead of going with the results that we fought for, they are going to completely reverse the results and just write it out as a story.

Does anyone remember Battletech's moving storyline and how it ended because of the stupid setting reset Jihad? It's coming to 40k. It already came to Warhammer fantasy. Call me crazy if you want, but these warning signs are pretty clear. I just hope its not true.

Fuck off OP, you faggot.

The plot finally advances, Abbadon's losing streak ends, and all you can do is act like one of the more recognisable factions is going to be "le squatted XD" in order to bait people.

Cadians are going nowhere. Half the galaxy could become part of the Eye of Terror overnight and there would still be hundreds of Cadian regiments ready to fight and die for the Emprah. The planet that has had to fight total war for ten thousand years and yet still managed to be perhaps the foremost supplier of regiments to the Imperial Guard is NOT going to be defeated by even its own destruction. Even in death, "Cadia" will still serve.

Also, speculation that Catachan will become the "new" posterboys of the IG is almost laughably optimistic. If anything, they'll make a new type of Imperial Guard, possibly representing a "new" Terran levy, whose sudden "rise to prominence" resulting from new models will be fluffed as coming from their success in "rescuing" many Cadians from their planet as it is overrun, and enabling Cadians to continue the fight as fleet-based or resettled regiments.

However the world stood alone and was under siege from vast Chaos forces, its moons reduced to barren wastelands and the Villklas and Andur defensive lines smashed. Indeed, Cadia itself looks to be on the verge of falling, and Abaddon's plan to extend the Eye of Terror's radius will begin.

>Chaos won the 13th Black Crusade.
It's more complicated than that, even.

The Tau with their 3rd Sphere expansion won hard, because no one gave a fuck about the Tau.

But the main story, the battle against Chaos, saw a LOT of shit go down. They destroyed 2-3 planets (The space-dock one and the prison one at least) in the Cadian system and did wreck all of its major cities (like the Cadians give a fuck about the latter though). They had one a close victory in the ground campaign and had the Imperial defenders reeling and badly in need of reinforcements.

The battle for space was a different matter though, which saw the Imperial contingent as the clear winner, scattering the chaos fleets as it won about 2/3rd of all engagements.

If we were to 'realistically' pick up where that left off, with the fall of Cadia, what we'd see is Chaos winning the ground war, but largely stranded with shit supply lines and strategic movement.

>>50807586
It's not ignored. The campaign was an outright win for Chaos, I'm sure you can find the after action reports.

>>
>>50800212
>And Cadia held. Crusades 1-2-3-5-6-10 and 13 were definately Cadian grab attempts.

Crusade one was for political gain on Abaddon's part mostly. The goal was to try to prove the possibility of waging full scale war on the Imperium again and to do that he needed victories. The strategic importance did not matter as much as the impressiveness to the other groups of traitor legionnaires. He knew that he could not really take and hold real estate outside the eye of terror at that point.

The third was really to prevent the second coming of 'not king Arthur" Saint Gerstahl.

The tenth Crusade did not really having fighting around Cadian space. The goal was to political align the Iron Warriors and to get Perturabo to share the secrets of how to open up meaningful large warp routes out of the Eye of Terror. They took a detour past the Cadia gate for that war. Most of the fighting was around Medusa. However it does show how important Cadia gate was at the time. A whole Black Crusade just to get a better ability to go around. However the outcome does effectively weaken the gate, because the Imperium had to greatly increase the garrisons of the places near the new secondary routes out of the eye of terror.

You are right about the rest however.
