A thought just hit on me, people often talk of going into battles in their LDs but could any of them match up to the scale and coolness of those described in WH40K, i dont play the tabletop version and my only experience with it is DOW (although i have looked up a ton of the lore seeing as i love the setting).
Has anyone played around with the Adeptus Astartes yet? visited a forge world to pick up a titan or gargant? raided a world for slaves with the Dark Eldar? systematically exterminated biological life with the Necrons?
I think i just found a new motivator for myself.
Well, I did once defended a planet from orks using my space marines, and I did once eliminated the beginning of a chaos cult in another world using tons of imperial guardsmen, but I never got to be in actual lore places, just battles, and as a commander (Just like you, I have never played the tabletop version)
Yeah i’ve seen a tabletop battle, the discriptions of epic battles conflict with whats actually happening (small if beautiful models being moved around).
What view did you have? Third Person disembodied? or in actuall body of a commisar or general etc etc?
For me i wouldnt mind playing around with a ton of basilisks and Baneblades against oh say, a monolith or 20.
Third person disembodied. Funner than being anm imperial general I think, because you can actually view your entire force at once.
Yeah that would be neat, still being in the flesh to execute cowards would be fun, maybe be in Commisar Yarricks body and fight that massive Ork whose name i shall bother to spell.
Or maybe ill be in a Tau command suit, maybe necron lord ah possibilities! I want to initiate an exterminatus!
Dont know why i didnt post this earlier.
I was in an ND a bit back and i was landing in a thunderhawk with some Iron Hands (at least i think it was them) and we moved out, i explored around a bit and found a giant snake that i wrestled with for a bit then ran when i realised it was too big, i came back to an embankment near the thunderhawk and called out to the Astartes to open fire while i distraced it.
Ah good fun, pity i didnt get to play around longer, oh forgot to mention that during the landing i looked outside a view port and saw a legion of obliterators and chaos titans go past so i guess thats why we were there.
