for Eldar its a vicious circle of low sales leading to barely updated models and codexes which leads to low sales and so on
Orks are ok because it's physically and psychologically impossible to not have fun while playing with them
Nobody likes playing agaist Tau or Necrons to a degree and who the hell plays Tyranids
Yes. Ironically that means quite a few people would only buy Eldar models specifically to abuse them during times where they were very strong. Those sorts of people aren't well liked and it generally just tends to sour other players opinions on Eldar even more.

>who the hell plays Tyranids
Tyranids were dominating the entire tournament circuit amost the entirety of 9th edition.
Big E is the archetypal man, meaning in addition to all his good and noble aspects he's also a warmongering fricktard primate who thinks he's too good for women and made 20 sons in the lab instead
>never touch a woman in his life >the only time he needs a woman the b***h throws a hissy fit and yeets his sons all over the galaxy
You can't really blame him.
New lore is that Primarchs are daemon souls Big E stole and since only men can be evil only men can be Primarchs.
Once Big E dies new Female Yas Empress will kill the Primarchs, magically come upon a way to purify daemon souls to make them good and create new uncontroversial Primarchs with equal numbers of men and women (no white men though).
Eldar models require actual painting skills otherwise they look like complete shit so the suffer from bad sales so Games Workshop thinks nobody likes em
The white GW sells you are a b***h to paint (and sometimes comes already fricked up) if you don't have the skills for it and this is why new players don't want touch that shit.
Except all models has edge highlighting, you don't even need to do it to begin with. All you do is make thin brush have thin paint on the tip and just paint the edges.
>Barely any 40k games where the Xenos are the protagonists
Why is this?
This
The empire has uncountable space marine chapters, military branches and IG regiments,
The choices for them are more than all other ayy factions combined
There's barely anything from xeno perspective in the 400+ 40k novels because they know it would make the stupid powerlevel wank in the setting a million times worse. That and it would be actually just fricking stupid to have something from say the nids POV.
Most 40kiddies are gays who only want to play humies and bigger humies in armor. Ackshually most people are the same, the vast majority of people want to play something that looks like them. Sad yeah.
>eldar game >you try to stop some great evil that some farseer saw in a vision >in the end you frick up everything because muh prophecies and make things worse by a large margin >you still think you were in the right
>orc game >charge gunline >die >respawn >charge gunline >die
>tau game is just you having plot armor for an entire game

Xcom like game for Dark Eldar would be fricking perfect
With low model count fast skirmishes and upgrading your warband in-between to rise for a new heights
Tyranid game would have to be one of those asymmetrical slasher games where you start consuming biomass in sneaky ways and then go into your biopool and evolve into bigger lifeforms.
Like 80% of armies on tabletop are power armour homosexuals.
No one gives a frick about eldar, Eldar have aspect warrior kits dating back from fricking 1994
90% of the time xenosgays are just secondaries who don't play the game, thus rhey don't realize that xenos themselves aren't popular. When a xenos army is strong people might pick up some of their models to be a bit competitive, but even that's a rarity and usually only seen at tournaments and the like. Go to any GW or even normal hobby store and you're almost guaranteed to have a dozen dedicated Imperium or Chaos players for each dedicated xenos player, because only homosexuals really like xenos.
>secondaries
wh gays are the most pathetic fat neckbeard virgins, its funny watch them delude themselves they are superior cause they play toy soldiers like the manchildren they are lol.
It's literally the case here. Warhammer is a tabletop game first and foremost. The video games and other media are secondary. That's how it's always been.
Cute.
Meanwhile everyone laughs at you because you know nothing about the game or setting or characters or factions, that hasn't been spoonfed to you by /twg/ or other threads where you pick up scraps of information.
You're like one of those typical "FOR THE EMPRAH" normies who idolise a version of 40k that has been dead for over a decade, and who dont even realise the 40k you pretend to like, doesn't even exist anymore.
You're not even worth licking the salt of my crusty feet.
The majority of the fanbase are "secondaries" because
1) The models are expensive as shit for how low quality they are
2) A lot of people aren't within liveable, reasonable distance of a Games Workshop store so they can play with others
Actually disgusts me how garbage the plastic is on GW minis. I can pay $170+ for a 500 point set, or $60 for a Master Grade Gunpla imported from Japan which involves all the exact same painting techniques with a much larger canvas for freedom of expression, and it looks cooler on my shelf. Frick GW, I'm glad I stopped buying their shit. Absolutely no respect for the customer.
40k is very, very human focused. There's also the fact that some xeno factions aren't really set up to be protagonists, like the Nids, and some factions like DEldar are so ludicrously edgy that it would be a hard sell regardless. Which is to say it could be done if there was more imagination involved, but barely any games ever get made that don't feature human protagonists in general.
Xenos are really only mean to be antagonists, they are very one dimensional when compared to humans, pretty much anything you are looking for in a xeno faction you can find in a human sub-faction and more fleshed out.
So far it's just text descriptions and a few impaled bodies.
It's very carthetic shooting the Drukhari, especially the ones who say things like "I can hear her voice..."
theres like 3 new game releases in 40k moron
and more on the way
the frick you talking about, its more prostituted out IP than any movie or franchise right now
They're barely relevant in the fricking tabletop and you think they'd make many video games about them?
Anyways Fire Warrior
>They're barely relevant in the fricking tabletop
But why though? People love Orks and Necrons.
for Eldar its a vicious circle of low sales leading to barely updated models and codexes which leads to low sales and so on

yjk

Aren't they the most broken army most of the time?
Yes. Ironically that means quite a few people would only buy Eldar models specifically to abuse them during times where they were very strong. Those sorts of people aren't well liked and it generally just tends to sour other players opinions on Eldar even more.
Gorkamorka videogame when?
>People love Orks
Sure, if you think Redditors is people.
>who the hell plays Tyranids
Tyranids were dominating the entire tournament circuit amost the entirety of 9th edition.
Feck you Harlequins are awesome
>They're barely relevant in the fricking tabletop
says nobody sensible.
They aren't. Everyone plays Imperium or Chaos unless they're a WAACgay.
Female Space Marines
t. Templin
Techically if Big E wasn't such a gay and made at one fem primarch
He made two but they got wiped.
He knew how everyone would behave.
Sex
With giant space vampire mom
>9ft tall muscle mommies with daddy issues
Haha, imagine...
Big E is the archetypal man, meaning in addition to all his good and noble aspects he's also a warmongering fricktard primate who thinks he's too good for women and made 20 sons in the lab instead
He's just a regular narcissist
Lmao wow shoulders
where do you think wow got it from?
>never touch a woman in his life
>the only time he needs a woman the b***h throws a hissy fit and yeets his sons all over the galaxy
You can't really blame him.

That isn't true at all. What the frick are you smoking?
Definitely not true, however, Big E did some shady things to make the primarch
Eldar models require actual painting skills otherwise they look like complete shit so the suffer from bad sales so Games Workshop thinks nobody likes em
Pretty much why no one play White Scars also.
Its a shame
why are white scars so difficult to paint? im guessing its due the the fact theyre primarily white and have some free handing involved for the armor?
The white GW sells you are a b***h to paint (and sometimes comes already fricked up) if you don't have the skills for it and this is why new players don't want touch that shit.
yeah, thats what i figured, GW's white is lumpy as hell
>Eldar models require actual painting skills
Bullshit, look at this armor and tell me this is hard to paint.
yeah how about you try edge highlighting 10 of those guys like that image
Except all models has edge highlighting, you don't even need to do it to begin with. All you do is make thin brush have thin paint on the tip and just paint the edges.
do you know how fricking tedious the layering and edge highlighting on these fricks is?
and then on an entire fricking army of them?
It isn't when you see nothing wrong with slathing a single layer of unthinned paint over it and dipping it in quicksharder after.
Don't play dumb, you're perfectly aware the brand has a designated protagonist faction already.
This
The empire has uncountable space marine chapters, military branches and IG regiments,
The choices for them are more than all other ayy factions combined
Because Fire Warrior tried

Rites of war is actually good.

I don't have an idea for this one.
Dark Eldar apparently have the best written Xeno book series, now if only they were popular.
same deal as tyranid but instead comes a necron lord
>>orc game
gunline
>>die
gunline
>>die
More like
>Boss stole me hairsquig
>Gonna go krump'em and get it back
>Gonna krump dem humies too fer a laff
Dark Eldar game would be fun if you could rape
Xcom like game for Dark Eldar would be fricking perfect
With low model count fast skirmishes and upgrading your warband in-between to rise for a new heights
>necron
The Mechanicus game, but in reverse.
>>orc game
gunline
>>die
gunline
>>die
YEAH? AND? that sounds based
Tyranid game would have to be one of those asymmetrical slasher games where you start consuming biomass in sneaky ways and then go into your biopool and evolve into bigger lifeforms.
Play this if you hate humans so much
I love xenos and hate humans, but Avatar is just preachy bullshit.
Go away with your hippie bullshit.
no thanks, i like ass creed 3 for my natives vs colonizer needs
Avatar is just a lesson on why you don't let a man not in a happy marriage do the job of diplomat/spy
Because xenos are shit. Simple as.
Like 80% of armies on tabletop are power armour homosexuals.

What the frick does the Total War General have to do with 40k? They have Fantasy.

Nta but that makes it even funnier

Didn't say I liked it. Just that it's the way things are. GW only gauges faction popularity based on plastic sales.

Humans are just inherently more interesting, xenos mad baldsquad2022
never touching anything warhammer since they hire trannies and pedophiles.
This thread has been REAL SPACE RAIDED.
Curious to see if Owlcat has the stones to show even a fraction of the horrible fricked up shit the Drukhari do to their slaves.
And some Kabalites to boot
Post models?
>drukhari
dark eldar, you muppet.
So far it's just text descriptions and a few impaled bodies.
It's very carthetic shooting the Drukhari, especially the ones who say things like "I can hear her voice..."
They are made to be offered to Slaanesh.
theres like 3 new game releases in 40k moron
and more on the way
the frick you talking about, its more prostituted out IP than any movie or franchise right now
well citizen that sounds downright heretical
Because nobody will buy them. Shame really. Imagine a vanquish style aeldari 3rd person shooter/slasher with awesome finishers.
Even as shitty as it is, Darktide is still far more popular than any xenos game would ever be.
>No horror game set in Commorragh
Why is it like this?
Nobody cares about Dark Eldar. They're just a shittier Chaos faction.
