A picture of people playing it

>>52983393
This picture doesn't make sense, isn't the point of Kriegers that they don't give a shit about death? Shouldn't he just be tearing his equipment off?

nah not really, Kriegers are heavily indoctrinated and see death as martyrdom and equipment as more valuable than life true, but they're still human and can still break.

They just tend to get exaggerated a lot on here.

I always thought GW should do a series of like 'famous photos' from the Imperium, like we have the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima or the young German stosstruppen in WW1 etc.

Something that is 'shot' from a realistic angle, post or pre battle something poignant perhaps, rather than just spazz marines shootung gunz always.

>>52983992
There's no point in being subtle with marketing. GW doesn't care what you (a player) thinks of their art because they're trying to attract new players. That's why you have spazz marines shooting gunz always - because Nathan Normie might be browsing the racks, and the chance of him getting interested in a box featuring a bunch of armored dudes shooting spacebugs is more interesting than a static reference to a real-world event that he might not even be aware is being referenced.

>>52984052
Well sure for certain box arts and things you need that attention grabbing nonsense, but for internal codexes or their.. uh.. visions? the occasional realistic image might be appreciated.

I really like this one. It would make a great 40k propaganda poster, with something like.

>>52987181
i think it's sadder though if we take it as it is, with it being a scene of something actually transpiring in-universe.

I think Imperial Propaganda would also run it as something more like: "His Faith Is Strong - Is Yours?" or "He Gave His Life For The Emperor - Will You?"

Krieg is a good start, as at their core they represent innocents being sent out in the field in order to die for a corrupted, bloated tyranny, which is what seperates them from most of the other forces of the IG aside from the Ogrynns. Where the space marines require brainwashing and the sisters rely on faith, they are doing it merely because they want the big E to say "I'm proud of you son", in a postive take over what drove Horus mad.

>>52987453
German GP-18 i think

>>52997261

No. Krieg guardsmen are literally brainwashed to the point where they don't even have emotions, AND become autistic. Literally autistic. I'm 30 pages into Dead Men Walking and it's a running theme that people have to be explicit and blunt when talking with Kriegsmen because they're unable to pick up on social cues, inflection or body language.

Imperial Guard.

>>52997916
Which is why they can panic and flee during battles and why they can have named heroes and aces, who are respected and looked up too, same as any other regiment.

>>52997916
Badab war proved otherwise. They have emotions but their duty and debt to the emperor is drilled in their heads since birth. And they are quick to stamp out those that "broke".

>>52983722
I mean, the random fluff about certain Undead acting like Bretonnians gives a certain 'Dark Souls'-ness to them, I suppose.

>>52992515
Don't you know? Roboute Guilliman was the most perfect of all the Primarchs. In fact, he was an even better person than the Emperor, far above the petty problems of his era. Surely, the only choice to lead us forward!
(Huh? No, no, there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanking off one Chapter of the Marines above all other Marines, and indeed above all other Factions, as long as it's the Chapter that you personally like! Sorry we ever doubted you, Ward!)

>>52997916
>I'm 30 pages into Dead Men Walking and it's a running theme that people have to be explicit and blunt when talking with Kriegsmen because they're unable to pick up on social cues, inflection or body language.
Well, yeah, they're based on pre-Cold War Germans.

What did you expect? They were the only race more autistic than the "STOP SMILING, IT IS OFFENSIVE TO ME" Russians.

That's because he's a heretic. He's trying to say that worshipping the Emperor is wrong and he worked with the Fallen and Eldar. The only solution is to send assassins to kill Guilliman.

Alright /pol/, here we go.

Ethnic food and cheap labor implies globalism. Globalism is a business consideration, and business is blind to race. Genuinely blind. If a worker of x color is the most effective, then that worker is hired.
This leads to outsourced jobs.
Outsourced jobs leads to a spreading of wealth from one nation to many. The most wealthy however, all keep their money in Geneva or the Bahamas.
Since space has a high development barrier, there's no reason to invest in it. The potential proceeds from land and mining, while significant, are not likely to be obtained in a single generation. Therefore, the profits do not exist.
For the maximum generation of wealth, the globalist does not care about space. He cares about exploiting as much of the world as possible, and that's the end of that.

For racism to exist in that image, it must be read in. It does not exist explicitly or implicitly.

>>53011859
>Predicting a lack of future progress for humanity and then blaming non-white people for it
It's not blaming non-whites, it's blaming whites who chose to exploit non-whites for short-term gain (through globalism as >>53011943 said) instead of investing in long-term goals like space exploration
