Fate of Konor - Imperium is 2 for 2!

Okay so we had a hive and a forge world and now we are fighting for a agri world, whats next, of the Imperium win this they will have the weapons the manpower and the supplies to win the campaign.

>>54801539
There'll probably be a shrine world somewhere in there.

Chaos players need to get their soul grinders, titans, and knights together!

>>54801539
We're bringing Tallarn back baby

>>54801601
My bet is the next one, and this would be the Morale planet, if the imperium win what could the last two be?

Ready to suck my mechanized cock, chaosfags?

So aside from even GW saying xenos players should side with Chaos does anyone else feel this weeks mission is a bit of a gimmie for chaos?

>>54801539
Exodite world to win more Eldar pussy

>>54801539
>and the supplies
Anon, I don't think agri world once infected by Nurgle is any good to keep. It's of no use anymore.

>>54801641
Now that you said this I can imagine piezoelectric generator powered by Slaaneshi desperately sucking mechanical dildos

Does anyone have the pdf version of the week three mission?

I'm a completely Warhammer 40k virgin and just opened that website, can someone explain to me what I'm looking at?

Is this one of those player-based narratives where the FLGS registers a fight as being part of the campaign, and log which side wins?

>>54801973
Yes.
Tge main plot us that the Death Guard (Chaos Space Marine who follow Nurgle) are leading an attack to the Konor sector, which is vital to make invasions to Ultramar (home of the Ultramarines and one of few places in the Imperium where life does not suck) easier and (literally) shit on Guilliman's return.
Chaos players fight Imperium players to decide what happens to each planet which is decided with victory pointd, and xenos player can fight one of the other two to steal their points. (And it seems most xeno players sided with the Imperium)

>>54802545
>and xenos player can fight one of the other two to steal their points.
I never got this part, desu.
I mean, the Imperium's officially in a frenemy(?) alliance with the Ynnari Eldar faction, having their points not go directly to the Imperium doesn't make much sense.

Everyone else (especially Orks)? Yeah, pick and choose which side loses points. But giving the Eldar the ability to take away points from the Imperium doesn't make a lot of sense lore-wise.

>>54802938
>But giving the Eldar the ability to take away points from the Imperium doesn't make a lot of sense lore-wise.
Are you joking? Eldar are traitorous xeno witches, they turned Armageddon into a war zone just to save thousand Eldar lives.

>>54802938
Well if you listen to /tg/ they mostly sided with the Imperium because nobody likes Chaos players, and Chaos gets treated as the ultimate doomsday now so I guess dealing with Imperial jerks is better than getting End Times'ed.

That being said I think that points out just how flawed the campaign is by throwing an entire third of the playerbase under the bus as glorified sidekicks.

>>54803094
But anon, GW told you that chaos had already spent too long languishing out of the spot light. Chaos has been ignored and unappreciated for too long. That's why GW has said that an objective of 8e is for Chaos to have a chance to be in the fluff again.

>>54803133

thanks friend

Well i would be more disapointed of the fact i play necrons if it wasnt for the fact that i dont have a GW store nearby. Oh well, part of my army isnt GW models anyway so i'd be kicked out.

Do Imperium vs. Imperium games count as wins for the Imperium?

If a Xenos player declares they will fight for the Imperium, and then plays against the Imperium, does it count as a win for the Imperium?

I'm asking these dumb questions, because Imperium players make up the bulk of the player base, and I'd imagine they'd have a hard time finding games against "actual enemies".

>>54807789
Yes and yes.
Welcome to the reason why Impy's are more or less guaranteed to win.
Space Marines can fight each other in glorified masturbatory war-games yet still contribute to the war effort.
GW should really have set a "If both players factions are the same, roll off to see who represents Chaos or vice versa" rule.
Sure it wouldn't stop anyone who actually wanted to skew local results but at least it's a definite "stop cheating you shitheads" instead of the wishy washy policy we have now.
Or hell at the very least go through the effort to list which side every race in the game is fighting for so that actual faction lines are drawn.

^ I thought as much.

An easier solution would be to count defeats rather than victories. If Imperium vs. Imperium leads to an Imperium defeat (which it would, obviously), then Chaos gets +1.

But, I know how Chaos can win now. They need to play more games than the sum of all Imperium games combined.

So, have Chaos vs. Chaos games, and one player concede after turn one. Build all Flyers lists (and with the new Boots on the Ground rule), lose at the start of each game. Then have a rematch. Etc.

>>54802938
Elder, despite being able to see the future, will never ask for help, explain their actions, or try to suggest a mutual beneficial alliance against a common threat without shooting their so-called allies in the Dick at least once.

Good. I'm sick and tired of Chaos. It's always "Chaos is the Greatest threat" this and "We will Destroy the Galaxy" that. And then they have the gall to cry "b-b-but we're underrepresented!" Fuck them. I hope that this entire campaign results in a wipeout for Chaos. Maybe then GW will realize that nobody but their resident hacks gives a shit about their edgy pet faction.

>>54801800

Yeah, I'm hoping for that as well. If GW does one thing right in the future, it'll be to hire some people who aren't obsessed with Chaos as 'muh big bad' and actually make the other factions in the setting have some time in the sun while Chaos fucks off back to the Warp and stays there for a good couple years.

Chaos has had too much time in the sun? I think you mean "Imperium".

Chaos is the Saturday morning cartoon villain of the setting - losing each and every week, only to say "I'll get you next time! Neeeext tiiiiiime!" and coming back.

With something like 60% of the player base playing "good guy" Spaaaace Mehreens, I'm hoping for a Horus Heresy like outcome, where the goodie goodie chapters turn on each other. Blood Angels fall to Khorne. Space Wolves fall to Tzeentch (just as planned).

Then the xenos (Necron and Tyrinids) gain ground. Tyranids eat the galaxy. Necrons get all spooky.

Eldar get tricked. The Yncarne is Slaanesh. All the Macha "we're the true good guys" fanboy players become butt hurt. This pleases Slaanesh.

Orcs kill lots of guardsmen. They emerge as a not-the pawn-of-chaos faction.

T apostrophe ow develop acute chronic weeboism. There is no cure.

>>54810702
I think that's terribly contrived for the sake of being needlessly Grimdark, and on top of that, incredibly stupid, and not in a funny way either. Why don't you apply for a job at Games Workshop, i think you'd fit in fine.

>>54810702
>Tyranids eat the galaxy.
Mate, if they can't successfully devoured an Ork empire like Octarius after 100 years of fighting over it, there's no way in hell they'd be able to eat the galaxy. The Orks are (for lack of a better term), the galaxy's extremely violent immune system, and they're everywhere.

Imperium is the default and Chaos is the irritating pet faction of Black Library writers. Frankly I'd prefer they both were sent to the back burner for awhile and Xenos vs Xenos got an actual starter box for once. Hell, a Xenos vs Xenos campaign where Chaos and Imperium have to do the same thing Xenos do now would be even better.

>>54808951
This times 10000

I would have so much more enjoyed a campaign based around a Waaagh or something

>>54810818

>>54811192

Hell, let's make it a WAAAGH!!! against the T'au in their home territory. Make their core systems actually in danger for once.

>>54811203
>Which is the biggest fucking ork Empire IIRC
I was referring more to the fact that Swarmy & what's left of Hive Fleet Leviathan have been trying to devour the planet of Octaria/Octarius since before the Great Rift open and still haven't pulled it off.

The average rate of a Nid fleet devouring a planet is 50-100 days, and that's with resistance.

They've been trying (and failing) to nom Octarius for at least a century. Even if Thraka's there leading the Orks, you'd think that Hive Fleet would've gotten somewhere on eating the planet in the last 100-112 years...

>>54800720
>>54801539
What were the exact stats of each win?

I want to see how much of a curb stomp it was.

>>54811492
Octarius is a Sector and the location of the Ork Empire of Octarius, one of the largest concentrations of orks in the galaxy.

>>54811492
>have been trying to devour the planet of Octaria/Octarius
Given how many Orks even outside Octarius this big fight attracted, combined Tyranid and Ork biomass on the planet would double its weight.
>and that's with resistance
PDF is no resistance against Fleet and Tyranids prepate the planet for consumption as the fight goes on. Plants grow faster, bugs looks for suitable traits in the local organisms, etc. They don't start the process after the fight is over.
>Even if Thraka's there leading the Orks, you'd think that Hive Fleet would've gotten somewhere on eating the planet in the last 100-112 years...
If Orks can fight Tyranids it means they have genes worth consuming. If Orks don't win it means Tyranids can acquire them. Hive Mind is a simple entity. It sees genes, it eats.

>>54811492
>Tau
>actually in danger
Do you believe what you write?

>>54811492
Octarius is both a planet and a sector. The Octarius sector is the location of the ork empire of Octarius with the planet Octarius being the central world of the empire.

Before they got to Octarius (the planet) they had already eaten two ork held planets in Octarius (the system) and pretty much every ork in the system descending on Octarius (the planet).

>>54811456
You miss the point of why 40k is Grimdark. It was written Grimdark to facilitate the awesome shit of 40k. To free the setting from things like Moral Conventions and the players from worrying about being the bad guys and let people just enjoy the ULTRA-FUCKING-VIOLENCE! But then you Chaos fags had to go and forget that, and instead just go i a crusade to be the edgiest motherfuckers known to man. And then you act as if people should take you seriously for it because 40k had Grimdark.

According to the mission post the stuff inside the harvesting machines is still untainted.

>>54811791
>still untainted
We all know how it's turns out in the fluff.
"Ooopsie, it was actually tainted, should've checked thrice. Now Ultramar is infected with Nurgle's Rot or Zombie Plague or Guilliman's Gangrene or something."

>>54811662
>Before they got to Octarius (the planet) they had already eaten two ork held planets in Octarius (the system) and pretty much every ork in the system descending on Octarius (the planet).
Yeah, and then Ghaz showed up, killed a Malwoc, and rallied all the Orks on Octarius (the planet) to literally kill every single bug on the planet at the time.

Leviathan's response? Send a couple more tendrils at the now heavily fortified, cutting-edge tech Ork opposition. All before the Great Rift opened mind you.

Which means Swarmy and Ghaz's forces have been fighting for the last century in the galaxy's biggest meatgrinder-murderfest (there was a brief moment where the Blood Crusade decided to jump in the middle and fight both... it didn't end well for the Khornates involved). Not that Gork and Mork really mind the idea of having bugs to squash for the last hundred years. Gives da boyz a fun (and challenging) enemy to punch around.

>>54811707
Homophobic much?

I don't even play Chaos, but I think your butt hurt pleases Slaanesh.

How is trying to conquer a galaxy "edgy"? Do you even know what that means?

And clearly, you have some great idea to advance the story from 5 minutes to midnight to 4 minutes to midnight, so let's hear it.

It isn't, but trying to destroy all reality is, which you'd know about if you actually read the lore instead of just reading memes.
>And clearly, you have some great idea to advance the story from 5 minutes to midnight to 4 minutes to midnight, so let's hear it.
I don't want a story. A story requires a clear endgame with central characters and climactic events, which 40k lacks. Although I do admit, if 40k were a story, Chaos would never be the protagonist anyways.

>>54811913
congratulations you've graduated from chaosfag to regular fag
a lot of people are sick of chaos, particularly those that played fantasy
other evil factions need to be shown off too or shit just starts getting bland

and don't give me any of that "chaos is the primordial ebil/end of all things" shit
part of the reason why 40k became successful in the first place is because of the sheer variety of factions and aesthetics that got smushed together and somehow ended up working to create a fun universe for adventures and good old fashioned ultra-violence
the galaxy is not just good humans vs. eviler, spikier humans as much as the writers might want to opine

>>54812084
Humans vs eviler, spiker humans is too kind.
It's gotten so bland its become humans vs 4 Space Satans and their armies from Space Hell (and not the fun kind like in Doom).

>>54812037
It's fair to not want a story, but I thought the whole reason they (GW) are doing this Imperium v. Chaos thing is because many people DID want a story. They were sick of the timeline being stuck at 5 minutes to midnight.

And I'm sorry if anything I wrote created the impression I read memes. I agree that Chaos shouldn't be the only antagonists (or did you actually mean "protagonists"?), but they are clearly doing it this way to sell expensive toys. Kid wants toys. He gets "good guys" from the box set, dad gets "bad guys".

And Abby is trying to destroy reality? I thought he was out to make the Imperium burn. Sorry if that's wrong (I'm new and trying to catch up).

That is true.

>And I'm sorry if anything I wrote created the impression I read memes.
Welcome to 4chan, everyone is an asshole.

>I agree that Chaos shouldn't be the only antagonists (or did you actually mean "protagonists"?),
The Imperium is the protagonist faction. Chaos is the main antagonist faction. Everyone in 40K are different kinds of evil, the less evil factions would be the Imperium, the Eldar and the Tau.

>but they are clearly doing it this way to sell expensive toys. Kid wants toys. He gets "good guys" from the box set, dad gets "bad guys".
That is true, I guess.

>And Abby is trying to destroy reality? I thought he was out to make the Imperium burn. Sorry if that's wrong (I'm new and trying to catch up).
The Chaos Gods wants to destroy reality (again), Abbadon wants to conquer the Imperium and become it's new Emperor, planning to backstab the Chaos Gods in their moment of glory.

Okay so here's the thing.
The new generation of writers (i.e 2011ish onwards) like chaos.
But the marketing department (and in turn the modeling budget) likes money.
And marines are money.
If you keep all of these things in mind a lot more of geedubs decisions make more sense.

The problem with all of this Progress™ is that a lot of it is thematically blind with primarchs and chaos just sticking their dicks into everything because primarchs and their new marines make money while the writers love them chaosboys.

Take the devastation of Baal for example.
This giant god damn conflict has been hyped up since forever and no one actually thought that the blood angels would be wiped out, but the war itself was going to be a grand affair with the entirety of the BA's coming together (including freaking renegade chapters) to defend their home.
It was going to be another Macragge level event with the Imperium barely winning by the skin of their teeth and through the countless sacrifice of heroes and heroic actions against a terrible yet worthy enemy.

But how does it resolve with the coming of 8th?
Half of Leviathan just fucking disappears because Chaos™ while Gullyman flies in with his mega marines to save the day, simultaneously annoying both BA and Nid fans.
Like it's not even a criticism of the quality of writing but instead of thematic stupidity.
And now apparently Angron is rumored to be getting involved/stealing the spotlight on Armageddon, one of the like two actually important Ork warzones and it's just getting really tiring having Chaos involved in fucking everything.
Especially after Endtimes.

Except they could easily, the blood angels pulled in every successor chapter, nids killed off 5 chapter masters and were still pushing the blood angels shit in with ease, this is also after the necrons super nova'd a sun to blow up part of the fleet.

All that and the nids were still winning, until a galaxy splitting rift swallowed most the fleet

He won.

>>54814943
He has a cabal of Chaos farseers that includes a time travelling daemon prince who has been there and seen it all. So no asspull. Abaddon putting value in foresight helped out. Which explains why he wasn't that bothered when the Fortress exploded and had a backup plan.

Unless they're a contrivance to kill off Leviathan while sparing the Blood Angels and all the Tyranids on Baal who are destined to die to show everyone how cool Primaris Marines are.
Sometimes I wonder how GW gets away with writing shite like this and then I remember that their customer base has a ton of 10 and 12 year olds whose opinions on quality are so underdeveloped and ill-formed they'll actually defend this Baal fluff. What's actually upsetting though is how hard 4chan's mods are dropping the ball in enforcing Global Rule #2 despite the obviousness of such infractions.

>>54814992

After failing twelve times before. The 'everything was just as planned' explanation pushed by GW's writers for Gathering Storm with regard to the other 12 Black Crusades is a load of squigshit.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how in the seven hells the colossal clusterfuck that was Black Crusade #11 is somehow a 'just as planned' victory for Abaddon.

Nope, he himself says he is ignoring the lore and the rest of he is proud that he didn't read the lore behind Fall of Cadia and how it goes about the true objective of the Black Crusades. I cannot be bothered with someone who's not interested in an honest discussion. I do not have it in me to repeat myself again and again about lore that's readily available. There is one think that I am prepared to talk about and repeat myself on and it's this hunk over here. As for the rest, you can eat my dick.

Cawl is fusing Old One, Eldar, and Necron technology together to create the Imperial Pylons. The final solution to Chaos.

>>54801881

Sounded to me from the mission debrief that they did mass controlled burns like how firefighters fight wild fires by essentially burning a swath of area so when the wild fire arrives, there's nothing left for it ot spread to, only they're burning it so plague has nothing to spread to. Behind the burn line are massive harvesting factories trying to harvest all the edibles.

Should be interesting:

That I understand, but there is very little in the way of In-Universe justification for most Xenos to side with Chaos. The Tau Ethereals and the Farsight Enclaves both don't want Chaos to win and know that they can't be reasoned with, Eldar and DEldar boy REALLY don't want Chaos win, most Necrons don't want to destroy the universe, and those that do certainly don't want it at the price of everything becoming the Warp, Tyranids don't want Chaos to win because a Galaxy full of Warp tastes like shit and is terrible to digest. The only ones would have a reasonable justification to side with Chaos would be Orkz, and even then, it would be more likely for them to just fight everyone regardless of alignment because it's more fun that way. Why would they expect people to side with one of the most unfriendly, antagonistic, factions in the setting?

>>54827581
To try and stick it to the IoM.
But also cause GW is trying to encourage it to keep the campaign balanced

It's not really exact stats so much as it is an approximation, but it conveys the general impression. Every region for both the previous weeks has been an Imperial victory, although the UK branch Chaos does seem to be putting up somewhat more of a fight. At the time of this post, Week three also looks to be in the Imperium's favor, especially with Chaos getting curb stomped in the EU. Hopefully this trend will continue, it would be hilarious to see those edgelords job like the villians they always wanted to be.

>>54827677

If chaos players weren't so unlikeable it would be balanced regardless.
And I say that as an obnoxious guardfag.

>>54819956
Well, you're right about it never happening, but more so because The Imperium (with help of disgruntled Xenos players) have essentially flawless-ed the first two planets, controlling all three regions on both of them, and they don't seem to slowing down any time soon.

>>54829376
Looking at it right now the Imperium has managed to secure its local recruitment/ industrial assets and managed to protect the major administrative commerical and indusitral hubs so far. If the factory crawlers on Nethamus manage to survive the offensive along with the scavenged food intact im not sure what else chaos can do in the system besides blowing up the Star.

>>54829757
Crash some more Blackstone Fortress in them? Actually that brings up an interesting question, what's the naval situation like? So far all we've been doing is looking at ground battles, but who's actually got control of the space right now?

>>54829842
Looks like it was initial chaos Dominance since a lot of the opening phases of the planetary battles showed large scale orbital bombardment from Chaos fleets then turning into a massive land slogs.
Imperial Navy forces are likely coming into the system and might be on equal footing with their Chaos counterparts now.

>>54829952
So they're leaving it open so that if one side loses too hard they can, they just say "AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARIVED" and set the scales back.

Seriously, a poster for Orks would be a better motivator.

Trying to convince the Tau to side with Chaos is like a Keeper of Secrets/Great Unclean One/Lord of Change/any daemon that's not Khorne-related possessing an Ork Warphead Weirdboy. It's not going to end well for Chaos.

>>54830975
I guess they were betting on xenos being more pissed at the Imperium for getting all this cool Primaris shit and such while getting left out in the cold again.

I guess the fluff morons forgot about how much they've been shoving Chaos as 'the only threat that matters' for the last 6 years and how they were "always the main threat" (as someone who owns a copy of the Fear the Alien anthology, such nonsense really ticks me off, since 40k is supposed to be Imperium vs. all equally dangerous to humanity, not this 'Imperium vs. Chaos and everyone else is just a third wheel'bullshit) down everyone's throats, which has been rubbing a lot of xenos players the wrong way.

>Abaddon the Despoiler’s Eleventh Black Crusade

>The Despoiler’s fleet becomes lost in the warp, finally returning to realspace in the path of Waaagh! Murgor. In the ruins of Relorria, the Black Legion bring the greenskins to battle. After months of fighting, Abaddon orders the Black Legion to leave Relorria to its fate and return to the Eye of Terror – but not before the Warmaster fills the holds of his fleet with captured Ork Weirdboyz. In conjunction with a coven of his most powerful Sorcerers, he uses the volatile psychic energies of the greenskin abductees in a daemonic hybridisation ritual that weakens the fabric of reality across the Relorrian System.

Really? That's utterly stupid.

Ffs, I'm in the process of starting a traitor legion, and my GSC are still taking points from chaos because of course they are. Why would they ever fight for the destruction of the galaxy?

>>54831361

They can't encourage Eldar/deldar to side with Chaos explicitly, Nids can't read/write/do anything but eat.
So the Xenos helping Chaos angle was doomed even before Chaos players were accounted for.

>>54833065
This. GW had to give xenos players their own objectives and goals if they wanted to see xeno scum gangbanging Imperium alongside traitors.

I'll give you that, but there have been other ways of doing it before and there can be other ways of doing it in the future.
Imperium (presumably Marines, but almost any Imperium faction besides GK could work) vs Xenos.
Orks make great bad guys. They're ugly, they're green, they're savages, and they'll as soon krump you as look at you.
Tyranids? Great bad guys. Just ask Heinlein, Geiger, or Orson Scott Card.
Dark Eldar? Good, but perhaps not kid friendly.
Tau? Humans vs Super advanced alien invaders. Independence Day meets Gundam.

How about Xenos on Xenos action? Tau are based on familiar anime robot designs. Kid friendly enough when faced with the fluffy villains of Orks or Nids.

It's hard to make a coherent narrative campaign when you also have to explain why they're 9 different factions suddenly fighting at the same place and the same time

>>54834252
Dawn of War did it.

>>54832628
Jesus Christ I must have been really tired when I made this. Why in the ever loving fuck did I think bright ass yellow was a good color for this?

>>54835592
Yeah, and we got Imperial Guard fighting Marines. And THEN we get to Soulstorm.

>>54836478
Yeah, that was pretty dumb.

>>54836478
Dark Crusade actually had a reason for that. Granted it was that the Blood Ravens had been subverted by a cabal of traitors the whole time and was eventually regarded as a mistake, but it was still a reason.

Granted I can 't defend Soulstorm. The sisters had no good reason to fight against the guards, and DEldar had no good reason to be there in the first place.

>>54831413
>>54831586

>>54835592
Hell, DoW III has a Space Marine vs Eldar vs Orks vs Necrons storyline. Give the game shit for its gameplay and semi-bland story, but it was an interesting change of pace from the 'Chaos is always involved somehow' shtick.

>>54836548

That part from the Soulstorm review by ThunderPsyker will always be grabber in my head:

>>54837802
Actualy... the Storm Prince was another khornate git who got his arse kicked by Gabriel, Macha and Gorgutz at the end of the game, but that was what atracted the Necrons' attention.

>>54839075
Newcrons do.

>>54837959
That is hands down the best part of his Soulstorm review.

>>54834045
And Kill Team boxes have been Marines (Deathwatch included) vs Xenos. Shadow War Armageddon started with BA scouts, not even full Marines, vs Orks, iirc.

Hell, a lot of people, like myself, get their first introduction to the 40k verse through Space Hulk, Terminators and Genestealers.

Fingers Crossed that the BritBong Imperium players can pull through. It would be a shame for Chaos to fudge a victory because they slightly pulled through in one region.

>>54853107
The Impeium made multiple attempts to genocide the Tau. The Imperium genocided dozens of Tau worlds, blockaded their expansion, and even set the Gulf on fire resulting in the third sphere expansion coming to a horrific end.

What has Chaos done to the Tau compared to that? The Tau are not stupid. The Tau do not forget the pain and suffering that the Imperium poured on them for centuries.

>>54853329
Dude, Farsight himself saw the shit Chaos do. And the Ethereal are aware of its existence, otherwise they would not try to manipulate their people into not knowing it. The leadership of the Tau is very much aware how fucked up Chaos is, and having an agreement with Guilliman (which he was interested) is one of the best outcomes of this.

Honestly, both sides are awful, the lore's current state is a joke. It's either wank about Bobby G himself and Bobby G's Pretty Boys or "Hurr Chaos is le biggest threat, gets shoehorned into pretty much everything and will win by default anyway".

Everywhere except U.K., where they've got a slight edge. It's tossup as to whether or not the Imperium will retake the ground and pull a slight victory.

>>54860774
BTW, how big (in terms of players) is the Rest of the World region?

>>54860921
You know that's a good question. I don't suppose that it's too big, especially if they're still overcharging for the fuck of it in places like Australia and Japan.

I imagine that's why they just lumped it in with the U.K., Instead of making it it's own region.

>>54861088
Yeah, I guess. Prices are really holding this game back from being more widely popular. I mean, thanks to DoW series and BL books, wh40k is much more well known world-wide than, say, 15 years ago. But the prices are insane, especially in countries with currency weak against pound or just low average income in general. GW should really try to capitalize on the untapped potential of those countries.

Side note: Apparently the smallest skull the World Eaters collected when they went back to Octarius for a year (didn't know being a glutton for punishment was a World Eater thing) and collected 8000+ skulls (not even a drop in the pond on Octarius) was the size of a FUCKING BOULDER, I'm actually terrified thinking how big Ghazghkull must be by now.

Congratulations Chaosfags, your little codex gave Ork and Nid players another tiny bit of info to get hyped about their own faction's incoming lore.

What do you want: a squig cookie?

>>54864556
I doubt they deemed skulls of lesser orks/tyranids worthy of their god`s attention, so 8000+ giant skulls belonged to greatest examples of each respective species, it wasn`t 8000 total kills. Ghazghkull though must be approaching the Beast power-levels.

>>54864804
Are you tired, anon? Your post seems kinda messy with raw emotion.

>>54864828
>I doubt they deemed skulls of lesser orks/tyranids worthy of their god`s attention
These are Octarius Orks though.

>>54808762
Chaos babies are such losers they want to cheat to stop losing. SAD!

>>54865062
Well yeah, if they managed to kill around 4000+ nobz/squiggoths/bosses/whatever-big-orks in a whole year, I don`t even know if that is impressive or not, given the size of WH40K battles. Orks at Octarius on average should be bigger than regulars too, so... Did Chaos just embarrass itself again?

>>54865588
Let's give the World Eaters some credit.

Last time they went to Octarius it was with ol' Kharn the Betrayer and the entire fucking Blood Crusade, and that got stopped cold because it got caught in the middle of Ghaz's WAAAAGH!!in' boyz and Swarmlord's Nids and got stopped cold.

The fact the World Eaters went BACK to Octarius after they got out of that meatgrinder (and since they're the only real major faction there, they probably took the least losses getting out) and spent a year collecting skulls is ballsy to say the least.

It also makes me question if they aren't actually secretly the sons of Perturabo instead of Angron. Only Perty would want his troops to go BACK to the galaxy's deadliest warzone.

>>54865588
No. Those were Octarian snotlings they killed

Won a 2000 point game with my Krieg against Death Guard earlier in the week.
I actually felt bad, neither of us had read up on the mission much before the game, so he brought a foot-slog heavy list and then realized he had to walk all the way to my board edge under a constant bombardment from my back row.
I don't think I lost a single model.

As an imperium player, this week was blatantly Imperium sided. It honestly feels like they're just rigging it for us to win.

Week 2 was relatively balanced outsided of the whole 'Space Marines getting bonus points because reasons' thing.

>>54864556
Ghaz size didn't change at all because GW cannot portray that on the TT. They must have killed Tyranid bio-titans. The Orks don't have anything that with heads larger than a boulder except maybe Squiggoths.

As for the TT, Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is LONG overdue for a new model as it is (hell, they don't even SELL his model in GW brick and mortar stores anymore.)

Which should be a bit taller than the primarchs, yes? What were the primarchs heights again?

Anyways, the tallest confirmed Greenskins in the warhammer multiverse come from AoS. Two Orruk chieftains that were survivors from Old Worlds destruction. They kept fighting each other and their tribes ever since they arrived to the Mortal Realms. Thousands of years of fighting. They became as large as mountains.

40K is a more seniable setting that AoS so something like that will never happen. The Orks on Octria have been fighting for little over a century.

If that were even remotely possible he'd have grown so huge he could use Space Marines themselves as melee weapons.

There's a dude who apparently makes the board tiles for my local GW store I play at (only reason I know this is because he brought a couple in to show the resident blackshirt and get his opinion on it on the day I played this game)

As for the terrain? No fucking clue. That GW store's always had it as far as can tell.

It's not even the most ridiculous terrain piece I've seen. At the LGFS literally 5 minutes away, there's a literal meandering canyon-style table set up. Haven't played on it yet myself, but it looks cool as hell.

>>54868035
>Fucking hell I can't carry this campaign myself people.
Xenosfag with an anti-Chaos bent here:
Is your store losing every time, or is this globally?

'cause Konor went Chaos for a bit over in my Imperium/Xenos dominated store because some of the Ork players went on a painting spree and took a lot of points away from the Imperium for a bit, only for a bunch of Imperial players to paint their models and submit them in at the very last second, shifting Konor back in the Imperium's favor.

That might be part of why your faction keeps losing. Painting models (and basing them apparently) counts for Victory points for each faction.

>>54867637
>Nids and Orks have no excuse for this kind of behavior
If Chaos wins there isn't going to be any matter to digest for Nids
