the entire franchise exist solely because it has lore that allows it to exist, the miniatures look the way they do because they are described by lore, the games are based on characters and world building of the lore, all art, armor, vehicles, cities, planets, gods, characters, from all species and cultures human or otherwise in 40k, is because of the lore, as well as the plot its self and the scenes of events in the franchise are the way they are from lore. with out lore you dont have sanguineous, horus, or any other primarcs and their stories or their sons, you dont have the chaos gods or the emperor of mankind, or eldar, necron or tyranids, or anything else. with out lore there is no warhammer 40k, the stories and world building from the lore is what allows the world of 40k and everything in it to exist, and if you dont like 40k lore or reject its lore continuity, than why pretend to be a 40k fan?

not gonna play this (vs) game, but i do wanna remind people that dreadnoughts (even the venerable pattern once) can survive virus bombs.

These new battleforces feel really sparse, with low model counts. It feels like they’re offering less value each time, and the units included feel like GW is just clearing out random stock.

Yeah I think we have a bigger isue coming from the crowd thats constantly calls 40k unreliable narative, so that they can retcon in stupid stuff like female Custodians and the warpstone changed to eldar.

all lore in 40k aligned with gate crushing correlates to the forces of chaos, like Iron Warriors and daemons of the eye of terror, While those that enforce and keep the gate are the Imperial forces like, the Imperial fist defending terra with the last wall protocol, the Imperial gate that's being defended by titans and several other forces, The Emperor, who's defending and keeping the human Webway portal closed from terra being consumed by a massive destructive warp storm and daemons within the destroyed Webway, and of course Cadia with their symbol being a literal GATE, and when it fell lead to chaos splitting and ruiniation of the galaxy. Now stop talking about CerberusXT, his work and he himself haven't been relevant since he got outed by Sargon, and cried off X when people questioned why he was comparing his newborn son to Oedipus.

Just a quick reminder that the only canonically black race in Warhammer Fantasy. Are the Pygmys... And that they came from space...

To understand how retarded the femstodes kamikaze lore is the "Aegis" void shield in its strongest areas is capable of stopping the penetration of any object above a half-gram traveling faster than two meters per second, they would had primed and send her ship to oblivion.

It's about the lore, dumbass. Many female fans didn't want femstodes either. They are historically an all male force. None of the male 40k fans I know have any issues at all with SoB, SoS, female guard, St. Celestine, etc. Femstodes are a slap in the face to women.

Actually, no, they're not "pumped full of drugs" that's just Space Marine lore. The only thing we know about making Custodes is that they are genetically modified in infancy through a super precise, artisanal process using the Emperor's own genetic template that takes decades. They have no geneseeds, no organ implants, and no mass drug pumping like Astartes in their teens. So the main reason they look ugly is because of DEI and gender politics (ironic really, making something ugly in a process that's considered artistic). We warned you and made fun of you for this for two years straight, Of you pushing real world gender policies into 40k. And you defending it and calling them ugly only proves this fact.

Even this retards admit femstodes look fucking ugly! you can't make this shit up!!!

they shot themselves in the foot the moment they started banning people from the discord for no reason/"bad vibes" and then lying that discord must have glitched and banned them. they had so much potential, and they destroyed it in like 2 days

and people like you dont understand that y-class Civilized worlds are by far the most common of all the types on the same page you posted, (from a book that isn't even a lore book or codex, but a supplement book of urban conquests for the table top,) "hive worlds only make up 10-25% of worlds," while majority of the worlds in the imperium are y-class, and y class rarely have hives simply because y-class are self sustaining civil worlds, especially the once with no larger industry that can sustain hives, for hives need to import food and resources, while y-class are mostly self reliant civil worlds. and this is commonly shown in many older books, like Eisenhorn with his estate on Gudrun, described as a world of stately manors, rolling green hills, small villages, and Caiaphas Cain who constantly gos to backwater planets, and non-hive environments where people have jobs, pastimes, local governance, and relatively mundane (if regimented) lives. meaning that not all of the imperium is a desolate hive cluster industry, that would be just purely unsustainable, what we're shown is are the war-torn and overpopulated worst of the worse worlds/sectors, because that's where the most of the drama and conflict rises, but the rest of the impirium is just "normal" urban cities.

Too many people don’t realize that not every planet in the Imperium is a hellhole hive world. Civilized worlds make up the majority of Imperial planets; they tend to have a decent standard of living and are relatively normal, just with 40K elements incorporated into them, things like symbols, architecture, etc. We see the horrible worlds more often because they make for a more interesting backdrop for stories. However, there are plenty of examples in novels that show more ordinary sides of the Imperium. The issue is that subtle grimdark doesn’t land for some people, so they default to grimderp, where everything in the Imperium is as brutal and miserable as possible. Usually, those same people also assume the Tau are universally good because their grimdark isn’t delivered like a hammer to the face.

There are actually good scenes and contexts about this in the Priests of Mars series that show why servitors exist not because the Imperium is “evil,” but as a means to an end. - Somewhere in the second book of lords of mars, a strike (yes there a thing in 40k) is started because of the harsh conditions the Adeptus Mechanicus imposes on the lower-ranking bondsmen. The bondsman who emerges as a key figure in the rebellion, Abrehem, has his hypocrisy pointed out during the events involving his use of an arco-flagellant named Rasselas X-42. And was pointed out to Abrehem that he knows nothing about what the flagellant did or who he was, without any knowledge of the crimes of his past, yet he is still using him as a tool for the strike. Abrehem then, out of respect and to address his own hypocrisy, and technologically links his mind to the experiences the arco-flagellant’s memories. He is shown all the horrible things the man did while alive, revealing that he was a cruel madman who slaughtered and punished innocent people. This makes Abrehem realize something he already knew when his former overseer Ismael was turned into a servitor for his dissent against the admech, And now again with the Rasselas X-42 why most of the Imperium ignores or doesn’t care about servitors. Simply because many of those people who become servitors are the ones who were violent and aggressive toward their fellow man and the Imperium itself, punished for their crimes and dissent with eternal servitude “Servitude Imperpituis”.
