Tau dlc for Battlefleet Gothic arrives today

>Khornate Orks
Khorne is not green and green iz best.

>Tzeenchian Eldars
The very moment an Eldar fall to chaos it's soul get consumed by Slaanesh regardless of the god he was actually worshipping.

there are khornate orks
look it up

I forgot i owned this game, the campaign was pretty fun. Are there still people playing multiplayer? I never got around to trying it out.

>buy BFG:A
>not playing multiplayer
you miss a good chunk of the game pal

>Chaos Eldar

There were some chaos orks back then on very old editions, if i remember well.

Either way i'm pretty sure they were a minor thing, and hell, probably not canon anymore.

no trailer?

What is gameplay like/comparable to for this game?

I'm interested in buying it, but is it like a traditional turn based strategy game, or more like World of Warships?

Gork and Mork don't exist

you turn to chaos because you think chaos has something to offer you.
orks are perfectly happy in 40k (to the point where some people think it's their psychic powers that keep the universe like this, in a perpetual war, because that's what they want) so chaos has nothing to offer them.
eldars are just anti chaos for obvious reasons.

zog off, humie

It is a real time tactics game, so during a match you manage ship position and facing while using abilities and whatnot.

It is much better than it sounds.

>Tau

alright fucking finally, now I can buy this piece of shit

Tau need to be in everything wh40k related they are clearly the best race

You forgot that: youtube.com/watch?v=StCXrBMl648&feature=youtu.be
>dem demiurg

>fun orks never again

The beta was the best part of this game.

Orks cant really get corrupted well.

Even when Tyranid broods happen the infected Orks still fight against the nids because the Ork psyche is stronger.

Wait, what?

Now we just need a new campaign.

Have a screen cap from a codex about this, but I don´t know which book or edition it is from and image search isn´t helping.

should i get into the warhammer universe? and if yes is this game good to enter?
I enjoy having a vast story background and this seems like it

New campaign when?

you talk about Batllefleet Gothic ?
nah that's a very niche game for aniche part of the lore
take DeathWing or play Dawn of War, it's 10 bucks on steam

>Codex
That's all the way from 1st Edition. Codexes weren't even a thing back then.

Anyone else here loves the DoW3 Eldar?
Tons of new units, fancy mobility, skimmers actually skimming around like they should have since 2004,...

>caring about meme races auch as the tau

This universe desperately needs a diablosque arpg.

This sounds like a great idea for an ork-centric game.

>kill, loot, scrap/sell useless crap, rinse and repeat.

youtube.com/watch?v=yKhFASxHiqI

Well, there is Inquisitor: martyr , which was announced last year. youtube.com/watch?v=O8Jfg_Y0m_E

There are Khornate orks. They're seen as edgy rebellious teens going through a phase. They eventually grow out of it.

Though keep in mind this is old lore.

>gorkamorka: the game

Day one preorder special edition

>Orks
Kill anything un-orky and still Worship Gork/Mork regardless of Chaos influence.
>Eldar
Chaos Eldar are hunted down and killed by Eldar.

If something is believed enough it manifests in the warp

Isn't Space Marine blood acidic from all the modifications done to their body?

FUCK ITS OUT?

Hot damn. Just watched the reveal trailer, not as hype inducing as the Space Marine one. But that's Tau for you I guess.

DoW2 single player was more like Diablo than an RTS.

I'd play the hell out of a gorkamorka game.

Also Gorkamorka works really fucking well for quite a few genres

>Burnout or twisted metal esque car game
>Exploration/open world action game (mad max with different combat?)
>Strategy game?

There were Khornate Orks in the older fluff and they weren't really retconned so they are still pretty valid.
Corrupted Orks and Tyranids exist, but they have fell to Chaos, not really following it.
Eldar can't worship Tzeentch because their souls belong to Slaanesh. But there are some Eldar in the Crone Worlds that somehow survived the Fall and are now the strongest of Slaaneshi champions.

There are countless Xeno races that serve Chaos, they only get mentioned rarely in the fluff.

What do Tau play like?

>sane and sensible orks

is that even possible

From the trailer, it sounds like they have a long range gravity bomb to do what ramming is suppose to do, namely knock ships back and cause damage while getting them out of proper positioning.

My guess is Tau are probably glass that can't ram without causing themselves far more damage.

Not blood, but spit. And it never showed up in anything other than the actual background lore. I mean how hard it could´ve been for Relic or Sega to animate a sync kill where say, an ork boy blows off a marine´s helmet, revealing his generic, square-jawed face as the marine rises rises and spits some acid into the ork´s face making it disappear in a puff of sickly yellow gas? I´m not saying they had good enough particle effects and shit to pull this off in 2004, but they certainly could´ve done it in II, purely as a fanservice detail.
And according to some old lore, SoBs apparently know Dim Mak, so they could´ve put some sync kill in soulstorm with a sister doing freakishly fast palm strikes, or something, but no.

A good amount of chapters can't spit acid due to gene seed flaws.

There used to be a huge chart of what chapters gene seeds cant do what anymore.

>Most Stormboyz are usually younger Orks who for various, inexplicable reasons, have grown tired of the normaly anarchic lifestyle among the regular Ork boyz. Tired of being told that they can do whatever they want they seek the way to rebel against typical Ork lifestyle. Longing for discipline, these youths often run off to join a Stormboyz camp. This is particularly typical of the youths of the Goffs and Blood Axe clans

Kek

Only one of their battleships is actually Tau, the other two are a Kroot "War Sphere" and a Demiurg mining fortress

>IE in 2013

Those are client races of the Tau who fight alongside them, so the distiction of not actually being Tau as a species doesn´t matter that much.

This universe desperately needs a Mass Effect-style (mechanically) RPG focused on an Inquisitor

Do they have any defected Imperium Navy forces too?

Or a Rogue Trader to have more freedom to act more unorthodox or even chaotic.

Well Inquisitors can get pretty radical and not face dire consequences, but yeah a Rogue Trader would actually fit better

When is Tyranids?

Tau have Gue'vesa (human helpers) to the point where the Imperial Guard gets a bonus when fighting traitor IG who defected to Tau.

It can be assumed though that human worlds would likely over time be given blueprints to build Tau ships rather than Imperium designs. Considering Tau actually use things like targeting systems and other tech that the Imperium deems heretical.

Escort spam is already annoying enough as it is.

>targeting systems and other tech that the Imperium deems heretical.
Nigger you can't be seriously implying that the Imperial Navy doesn't have targeting systems.

Prayer and burning candles isn't a targeting system

Imperium has targeting systems but most of their automation is run through human brains since true AI has been banned

They´re featured in that spinoff game,Leviathan, on iOS, for what´s that worth, but I don´t think they´re playable.

So IYO are Tau going to end up eventually experiencing an attack of Iron Men where Chaos possesses their battlesuits and AI?

It sounds like a good way to shake up the status quo. Having the Imperium and Tau form a momentary alliance against a self building and growing machine threat.

You mean through cogitators. Or purpose made servitors that are at least equal to AI. Not to mention that Space Marines and AdMech are all superhuman and can process all the needed information in microseconds. It's also safe to assume the majority of Navy officers are all augmented in order to do it too and Captains are almost always wired directly into the ship itself.

It's 40k you can think up any fucking scenario in it

Although if I remember correctly the whole Iron Men thing with humans was a traditional "AI deciding human life is a threat to it" kind of a deal than Chaos influence

Yes, you put it more eloquently

The big races all have excuses for why they don't fall to chaos- Necrons and Tau have no presence in the warp, Eldar get snacked on by Slaanesh if they even think of trying, Tyrannids are basically animals, and Orks won't obey anything that ain't orky enuff.

However minor races can fall to Chaos just fine. For instance, Slaanesh was worshiped by some snakelike xenos, who built a pleasure temple that broke the brains of the Emperor's Children who saw it, and started them down the path to full heresy.

So Tau can choose Mont'ka or Kauyon doctrines at the start of every battle, for different bonuses. Does the enemy see which one you've chosen?

This game is already better than DoW2 and CoH2 combined

What are those little drones flying around my Tau ships? I don't have any fighters/bombers on these light cruisers.

But I tought that the blood ravens were completly normal whe it came to genessed, apart from a sligthly higher likelyhood to be pyskers. Also when chapers have genessed defect it gets metipned in the lore, like Blood angels having that blood thirst and genetic memory hallucinations deal, and Imperial fists not having immunity to pain, so they have a masochistic culture.

Looking at the lexicanum the only chapters mentinoned as not having the acid spit organ are the Imperial fists and Raven guard.

Apparently, Blood ravens have a mutation that causes eidetic memory, but that claim doesn´t have a source, so feel free to disregard it. It´s probably some of Goto´s bullshit, anyway.
wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gene-seed

Repair drones

Tau space combat looks just like my japanese animes desu.

Where my Necron bros at?

Blood Angels are fine too.

Nice

>Apparently, Blood ravens have a mutation that causes eidetic memory
I do recall this being mentioned in one of the DoW games, but I forget which one it was. And I don't think it was a spoken line of dialogue, either.

right here senpai

>this is what tauniggers actually believe
enjoy getting castrated

Farsight's sword is a Khornate Daemon telling him to rebel

>every important weapon/relic in 40k has some tie to the Warp

I hate this. It's never just mysterious and unexplained xeno-tech. It always comes back to Chaos.

in this case Farsight Dawnblade is an Old One weapon made of a metal that steal lifetime from your enemy

One of the Imperial Fist successors, the Excoriators, have a similar thing to the Black Rage. It's called the Darkness and it causes the marine to relieve the emotions Dorn felt when he found the dying Emperor, basically throwing him into a coma/stupor.
Idk if that was a thing in the codexes or whoever wrote their book came up with it. Speaking of the book, Legion of the Damned is a great read.

>Apparently, Blood ravens have a mutation that causes eidetic memory,
But marines have eidetic, or almost eidetic memory by default.

>Old One weapon

So is it actually a proper daemon weapon or just some kind of force sword?

Also why is it perfectly sized for his battlesuit?

Just came here to laugh at all the monkeighs ITT

oi? whatz dis eldar boy callin' uz monkeys fo?

>Blood ravens have a mutation that causes eidetic memory
At least they are putting this trait to good use, how else are you supposed to remember every gift you got without that?.

>apart from a sligthly higher likelyhood to be pyskers
That's because they're a thousand sons successor chapter.

I´m just saying what I read in the Lexicanum article on gene-seed I linked I haven´t head of the thing before.
But it´d be nice to know what the deal with Blood ravens´ memory is. Marines having exceptoinal memory by default makes sense, but If it really is a special mutation I´d like tp see a source on that, if only because I haven´t heard of it before. you woul´d think it´d get mentioned in that mission in Chaos rising where you retrieve gene-seed from a space hulk, but I think it wasn´t

youtube.com/watch?v=ABqaQbiie1E. Or could it have been in one of the background blurbs in Soulstorm? I haven´t played much of that yet

it would be extra weird, especially in the mini if Farsight had a human sized weapon or a gigantic weapon

...

ok knife-ear sympathizer
back to having your soul eaten now

Why would the old ones need to create a weapon that steals lifetime when they were already virtually immortal?

The ancient race obsessed by mortality was another.

yeah ok sure whatever

i dont really care

the more the better i guess

>Why would the old ones need to create a weapon that steals lifetime when they were already virtually immortal?

Maybe they were immortal because they made and used shit like that.

Almost nothing about them is known.

>tfw ridiculously OP in EC
I'm grinding for the Hunter's Mark before they nerf it into obscurity

Yes lesser races, group up to fight the supreme eldar!
One on one you monkeighs don't stand a chance.

Maybe it was one of those "why not?" moments that come from the ennui of an endless existence

maybe it was when they were not immortal
maybe it's a key to become like the Old One
we just don't know and i'm fine with that

Lexicanum and 1d4chan don't source their claim while the 40kWiki doesn't even mention it anywhere. So it's highly possible that it's just some fanfiction.
Idk what's the official stance in SM codexes, but literally every book where their memory is mentioned they always have eidetic and photographic memory, or at least it's so close to it that it's almost the same. Plus they can process a shitload of information at once.

Your reproduction rates are lower than a flayed one's GPA

What is the best loyalist chapter and why is it the Black Templars?

youtube.com/watch?v=SW2bqSbbo1g

Tau actually do have a presence in the warp, it's just very small compared to a human - the same way a human one is small compared to an Eldar one.

That was the Necrontyr, who let the C´tan make them into Necrons for precisely this reason, in exchange for souls or life-force of the living or however that worked. If this is still canon with the newcrons, that is.

Orks are hardwired into sustaining their own psyche (gork and mork) but it's possible, there's a case of orks worshipping nurgle thinking he was orky because he was depicted as big and green, while the rebellious phase orks pass while being stormboyz have led to some khornate orks, but it was a teenage fad; while the eldar have the memory of the fall still recent in their minds and will prefer death in most cases, on top of having a warrior culture revolving around the disassociation of the individual to the emotion of the moment so falling to chaos is hard, but even then it's possible.

I'm pretty sure the Necrontyr were experimenting with Biotransference but didn't want to lose their souls

Once the C'tan "helped" them Silent King lost his shit and enslaved them

>Why aren't there Khornate Orks
There are every kind of Ork you could imagine

As for tzeentchian Eldar, chaos Eldar are batshit fucking insane in a way that makes Dark Eldar look tame and normal

post mugs

Dark Angels.

...

...

Two lost primarchs my mane

>I'm pretty sure the Necrontyr were experimenting with Biotransference but didn't want to lose their souls

As far as I know, this isn't mentioned anywhere.

Biotransference was only possible with the help of the C'tan, who revealed it as a possibility in the first place.

It gets better when you consider that Orks represent all.the various punk and street cultures of Britain. STORMBOYZ are/were literally neo-nazis and fascists

...

Noth the other user, but the tech of the biotransference was roughly connected to the one the necrontyr themselves uaed to build bodies for the c'tan, so maybe there could have been an attempt of sort.

>Almost nothing about them is known.
The old ones are pretty much the old slann from rogue trader, they were psychically enlightened beings, they did not use life stealing tech.

That's the nigrontyr

>the tech of the biotransference was roughly connected to the one the necrontyr themselves uaed to build bodies for the c'tan

You're talking about Szeras - his lore blurb in the codex says that after the C'tan revealed the secret of biotransference, but he made it a reality - and yeah, it's actually that vague.

So whether he was actually working on it beforehand is uncertain.

>The old ones are pretty much the old slann from rogue trader

We don't know this.

>they did not use life stealing tech

We don't know this, either.

>That's the nigrontyr

If you mean the Necrontry, I'm not aware of any life stealing tech they used, either before or after they became the Necron.

>It's weird how the "all consuming, all corrupting" Chaos is so picky they only take humans as followers.

The three strongest Chaos gods were born from humans.

The warp may have already been damaged long ago, but it was really the expansion of humanity that caused Chaos to go out of control.

>every race has some giant asspull apocalypse mass destruction weapon
>the tau doesn't

Getter Emperor Tau battle suit when?

>The three strongest Chaos gods were born from humans.

That bit of lore is fucking ancient, and it's very doubtful that it's still canon.

Not any time soon since Tau can't make proper titans.

The tau believe in sensible weapons and tactics instead of the giant ridiculous bullshit all the other races put their whole effort into. That's part of the reason they'd get their shit stomped in within hours if anybody in the galaxy cared enough to put a genuine effort into wiping them out.

>The tau believe in sensible weapons and tactics
>That's part of the reason they'd get their shit stomped in
>mfw

Someone needs to come along and convince them to supersize the main gun on the Hammerhead.

A Tau version of an Ordinatus Engine would be the scariest godamn thing in the galaxy.

I completely forgot about this game after putting in one hundred and fifty hours over the beta and first week post launch.
Do peple still play it?

You guys are horribly out of date. The Tau have begun to develop their own Titans.

That's not a Titan though. Probably just a Titan killer.

What? Can i get a source for that
Fresh pape in return

>au Supremacy armour is larger than any other current class of battlesuit. It is intended to meet a threat that the Tau Empire has not yet prepared for; the defence of worlds within their growing domain from the counter-expansion forces of other races. Lacking the manoeuvrability of other battlesuits, the KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour was designed for static defence, carrying massively destructive, long range weapons.

Encountering increasing numbers of enemy heavy assault elements, from Imperial Knights to the towering alien monstrosities of the Tyranid Hive Fleets, Tau heavy flyers were often outclassed. Earth Caste engineer Fio’o Ke’lshan Sho’aun developed the KX139 to mount a dynamic yet stoic defence against such foes.

It's a titan in all but name.

>A Tau version of an Ordinatus Engine would be the scariest godamn thing in the galaxy.
Wrong. A looted Tau version of an Ordinatus Engine would be the scariest godamn thing in the galaxy.

Nothing in that description says it's a Titan.

It's just a super heavy, mate. There's a big difference.

>It's a titan in all but name

ForgeWorld disagrees with you.

So how accurate are the Tau to the table top version of Battlefleet?

Whats your favorite gundam? I like the XV-88 Broadside

>using battle suits
>not using your own body to fight
Pretty gay desu

>wearing helmets

>worshiping a corpse

...

youtu.be/IEGo41443iI

Eldar helmets look so weird that I frequently forget that Eldar are just space elves and not weird oblong headed greys or something.

IZ DERE ANY ORK BUFFS TODAY?

good gue'la

Which is the best Traitor Legion and why is it the Emperor's Children?

...

Man those Tau engines sound weird. Why can't you use coal burners like everyone else, fucking blue weirdos.

Are the Necron playable?

Too broken for the game or something

no necrons currently, not sure what the next dlc will be

youtube.com/watch?v=UHgu_fBlSjk

Is the greatest cutscene in the game

Talking about lore,
wasn't there a smart as fuck ork who works with the imperium? i wonder what happened to that guy

>Are the Necron playable?

No.

>Too broken for the game or something

As it stands now, Eldar are pretty shit, so it immediately departs from the tabletop in that regard. I'm sure if Necrons were in they would be 'appropriately' nerfed to shit.

They could still be fun, though
>lightning strikes with escorts
>mfw

Should be tyranids for something different. We don't need another broken shooty fleet in the game.

Eldar are fine if you play them to their carrier/bomber strengths and give your ships Ulthwé favor for eldritch abuse.

Demiurg has the best voice

>When they push the big red button

I'll tell you, but first you have to answer the following: IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN EVEN REMOTELY CONTROL OUR BOY FULGRIM?

>we will never get a NG+ mode in the campaign that lets you play any race
actually play as them would be the bonus, the real meat of the new option would be listening to the inquisitor argue with people accusing Kaptin spire of being a greenskin

>not daemonically possessed
step up senpai

A sword

>not a looted daemonically possessed Ordinatus Engine

>not a looted daemonically possessed Ordinatus Engine infested with genestealers

My captcha is a wheelchair.

>not a reclaimed, exorcised, and cleansed Ordinatus Engine, ready to restart its glorious service to the Imperium

>Tau actually do have a presence in the warp
They're called the tau because that's where their warp presence falls on the latin alphabet. The first 4 letters are for real psykers and the last 3 or so are for blanks/nulls.

SPASEH GOMMIES

He made the demon his bitch and handed the sword to Lucius. He was only stuck inside the painting for as long as he wanted to be.
