''Once more The Prophets of Flesh of Urien Rakarth agreed to aid the Tau. Battling the Tyranids alongside Tau Fire Warriors, the Dark Eldar deployed a new weapon: long-limbed Grotesques that moaned in despair as they hacked through the Tyranid horde. After six days of carnage the Tau and insidious creations of Rakarth were victorious. However a terrible suspicion began to dawn. Vid-captures from Tau Drones showed that the Grotesques of Rakarth were of a blue-grey coloration all too familiar to the Tau''.

I play and enjoy Sigmar but the universe and art style are retarded, I like the game because a disabled person could play it and it's great for low effort, quick games but fucking hell, couldn't we just get it as a new ruleset for the old world?

There's so much shit left to explore there, Stormcast could be those Golems the chinese nation has and a the new dwarves can easily be bullshited in along with more trees.

But nah, let's discontinue a setting with so much depth in favour of something that has clearly had 0 effort put into it. So few people give a shit about it's lore we don't even have a proper wiki for it.

I never even played WHFB for anyone who's going to complain about me being some salty grognard, I've got around 4k points of death and a small Freeguild army going so I'm not some kind of AOS hater.

Rule of cool. Tactics in 40k is very much fictionalised, very few factions fight realistically. Steel Legion are using WW2 mechanised infantry tactics, Krieg are stuck in the first world war, Mordians are Napoleonic. It doesn't make sense, as long as it looks cool.

>>54559703
Well >>54557437 is obviously an imperial guard position that's just been overrun. They're about to lose badly.

However this >>54556327 is straight up heavy metal excess. If you consider 40k as a crazy 80s parody setting then that's just a regular battle and to hell with common sense.
If you wanna take a more 'realistic' view of 40k then I'd consider it to be an in-universe artwork. The kind of thing you'd see on the wall of an Imprerial Cathedral.

>Tactics in 40k is very much fictionalised, very few factions fight realistically.

The Imperial Guard fight very realistically when you realize they're fighting superhuman alien monsters, literal daemons, and space wizards that hate you purely for existing, and that they fight these threats with a virtually unlimited amount of manpower.

Yep. You can't help but laugh at the irony of some of the modern writers dismissing William King's original work because he IS part of the story. His version of the final conflict was accompanied by this picture. Bill King was Adrian Smith's model for Horus. In a very real way Bill King IS Horus!

The original tau battlesuits were all one or both of hyper-mobile and hyper-long range. Broadsides sit far back while the Crisis and Stealths play jet-yoyo.

Now we have giant heavy things with the proportions getting wilder and wilder, and getting closer and closer to the enemy.

God I hate the maps for AoS.

Honestly? I believe that AoS has a lot of potential as a setting. It's big vast realms stuff makes it a lot more of a sandbox setting rather than just the Old World. But they need NEED better artists. They should also bring back old art from the old rulebooks (as 40k has done with its 8e core book). But the current stuff is garbage.

Here's a fav of mine from RT, I loved the tiger camo and idk why I've yet to actually paint up a marine this way yet.

You are confusing scale of the mini with the scale of the art.
The recent spate of large models was to make a counter to knights as LoW models that were not titan sized and prohibitively expensive. They are army showpieces first and foremost.
