Without space Marines, you wouldn't have 40k. All I hear is insulting the 'smurfs'. Fuck you. Without space Marines, especially without ultramarines, 40k would SUCK as a setting. Waaa waaa I have my chaos! My xenos!! No one gives a flying fuck about any fucking xenos army. Tau? Pussy baby shit. Eldar? Literally homosex gay baby bullshit. Orks? Lol so randumb xD!! Tyranids? Bug spray. Necrons? Metal skeletor. Every chaos faction is just le epic devil xD corrupted human xD gay corrupted space marine xD!!! Seriously. Fuck you for disrespecting the main characters of Warhammer. Get out of your dark dank hole you call a room, and go walk your fat smelly ass down to your local gameshop and thank a space marine player for giving your life purpose. Go in, shake his hand. Make him feel important, because he is. Far more important then your stupid ass. And for the record, I don't even play Warhammer, I just call it like I see it.
Ceramite encased assault nipples, the true mark of am esteemed commander
Space marines are the gateway to 40k.
There are two ways a new player can grow into something else.
1. They move on from marines, maybe play xenos or Chaos.
2. Growing up as a space marine player is realizing that Ultramarines are truly the best
Hilariously, I got into it just because BFG was the only spaceship wargame I could find at first. I played that shit for like two years without really knowing what the deal with space marines was.
Ultramarines are legitimately one of the coolest chapters. I think that's why they get intentionally ruined by always being presented in the colors of Epstein's temple. The company that owns them doesn't represent the blue and the black or even the white and the blue so we're stuck with first company fags until mystery babylon collapses.
damn bro that's crazy
>The company that owns them doesn't represent the blue and the black or even the white and the blue so we're stuck with first company
Anon first company is blue snd white, gold is second company.
If the Inquisition purged schizos I'd be an imperiumfag.
>us
mate, shut the fuck up.
Now that you got me thinking about it Warhammer would be a pretty neat setting without the space marines and skaven mentality
Could have just had power armoured elite infantry be a part of the imperial guard and the setting would have been better.

My battle brother, my Captain, my Chapter Master....
I kneel.
>Go ahead and thank us
>I don't even play Warhammer
Ultramarines suffer from success and that legitimately isn't their fault. I wish that corporations like GW weren't afraid of having their flagship get their shit kicked in once in a while to keep them fresh. They're presented too well because they're just mascots to sell models rather than characters that sell models. The Ultramarines have really good moments and characters with Gulliman being a good example. A faction doesn't have to be doing well to be loved and I wish GW would take that idea to heart. No one really cares how you fall, they care about how you get back up.
Ultramarines lose badly in the new edition trailer, anon
I agree, space marines, Grey Knights especially, are essential to the imperium, and the setting.
Space marines are fucking gay. They were better when they were convict-conscript spacecops.
God this stupid kid’s game used to be so much cooler. The longer a story lives the more it suffers from power creep and day-time television tier melodrama.
They acted as space cops only in that singular instance, and them being convicts is still something I have to see a source for
A few Astartes like the 30k Night Lords or the Carcharodons specifically recruit from prisons.
>space marines are so boring OP has to generate shitty AI art to attempt to make them look good
lol
lmao even
Came here to say this
How soulless do your dudes have to be that you don't mind using AI art for them even though you have a metric tonne of legit art
>Using an abominable intelligence to generate an image of a space marine
The audacity astounds me.
>Without space Marines, you wouldn't have 40k
Is that an endorsement or a negative.
> le epic contrary opinion!!!!
40k introduced plenty of people to wargames. A lot of other, better games rely on wiser people growing out of 40k.
>40k introduced plenty of people to wargames
Is that a positive or a negative?
you should go to the book store and thank a science fiction reader since your precious smurfs wouldn't exist without stuff to shamelessly rip off.
(meant for OP obviously)
Something about the way 'referencing', 'paying homage' or 'knowing wink' have transmuted into 'ripping off' over the years disturbs me a little and I can't really put my finger on why.
it became a ripoff when they started suing people over "their" IP before then it was fine
Essentially it's the draining of ideas.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Everything is a combination of other ideas.
I suspect the rise of saying "ripped off" is due to a lack of better words we just use it to mean a company outright stole it by claiming it as a wholly-owned idea, something unique when that isn't the case. Then when someone tries to pay homage to that, they bit back saying "no, that's ours".
Think about it ss a kid that hogs all the Legos of a certain shape or color. You need them for your build but he won't share them because he owns them?
Thus you are limited in your ideas because he'll come over and slap the shit out of you for doing so.
What does that have to do with introducing people to tabletop wargaming
> ib4 expecting a coherent argument from the fags on Ganker
>growing out
No one born after 1995 is worth knowing or interacting with anyways.
The future is now old man
I hate tau and eldar more than you smurfs so its cool.
I just wished some of the other chapters got some time in the spotlight, taken guard, white scars and my favourite guys the salamanders.
Why has vulkan hestan not been primarised yet...
tryhard
I kneel
>40k would SUCK as a setting.
It already sucks.
Space Marines are the reason it sucks.
If space marines are so great, why are they getting replaced?
>replaced
Wrong, they're getting upgraded
Reminder, no Primaris keyword in new releases
Remember, boxnaught is kill
That's because all marines are primaris. Firstborns don't longer exist in 10th
>56% mindset
I'm losing track of all the dog whistle number references what's this one about?
He's saying you're a moron, which you are.
It would be better if all the marines went traitor and it was just them fighting guardchads and losing all the time
Shut up, karskunt
Seethos continues to seethe.
Buy more of my army man toys.

I'll thank you when you're dead. You can be main characters all you want, but you're still gay in a gay setting with gay fans.
go back to your 5e thread, RMD
Go back to British hell you 40kiddie.
>RMD
Leave it to the smurf fanboy to start calling people tax terms.
>he doesn't know which tripfag RMD was
but good joke all the same, heh
Girlyman is tax manager afterall
>Without space Marines, you wouldn't have 40k.
And I would be better for it. Fuck off, smurf.
Wrong space MUHrines
40k would be nothing without fantasy. Without fantasy, 40k wouldn't even be a thought.
We didn't have rampant space MUHrines in fantasy. Even in age of smegmar, the MUHrine nature of the stormcast eternals was yanked backed for the favour of the other factions.
And do you know what these two games have that 40k recently didn't? Dwarves. Dwarves were a key piece in making sure the setting was stable, and the MUHrines weren't getting too uppity.
Elves were too weak and small by themselves.Tau were too weak and small by themselves. Necrons were powerful, but too sleepy and old. And Orks, gsc, and tyranids ended up as fodder.
Only the dwarves could tie everything. And now they have returned as the mighty Leagues of Votann.
Tremble in your weak metal armor space MUHrines, for the short kings have arrived to put you in your place.
If the short kings were so great why did the squats get squatted in the first place? Why weren't the dorf kangz simping for short hair dick in space?
>If the short kings were so great why did the squats get squatted in the first place
Because gw didn't do them proper at first.
That mistake is now fixed.
Wow, everyone's to blame but you. I could almost believe you're a real woman with that huge lack of personal accountability.
Meds
they are the most fun to paint
>t.ork,dwarf,guard
I bought one with ebay points from that magazine and it was literally more fun than all other dudes. The necro was slightly too easy (and a bitch to glue together). Gonna buy the next box. I wanted to start nid army anyway and waited for a rework and gonna have fun painting blue men a lot
Big bro, your cool and all but obviously dad didn't expect you to make the Codex into a bible. You should take what is useful and discard the rest. Now the Emperor's Tarot, that is how you really make decisions.
> Shilling the smurfs this bad just to grief low IQ idiots.
Very gay, Satan, and not in a good "let's polish each other's sword after killing heretics, brother" kind of way.
All Space Marines should 100% unironically be like the Black Templars, complete fucking nuts who roam the galaxy purging for the Emperor.
>Without space Marines, you wouldn't have 40k.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I agree that Space Marines (and TTS to a lesser extent) are the gateway to 40k. I disagree that the Smurfs are the best.
Lion for Life, Ultrasmurf.
Do you think that the Dark Angels would be as cool as they are if they were the baseline for Space Marines and every Chapter was measured by how much they deviated from the Dark Angel standard?
Like imagine an alternate timeline where Azrael got the dick-sucking that Marneus Calgar got and Asmodai was as absolutely fucking hyped as CATO SICARIUS, CAPTAIN OF THE SECOND COMPANY, WHO HAS AS MANY BATTLE HONOURS PERSONALLY AS ENTIRE COMPANIES OF LESSER SPACE MARINES gets hyped.
Imagine if it was the Lion who set the standard for Marines post-Heresy and every Chapter had their own little private war against !Fallen that they would engage in secretive, paranoid team-killing for.
Imagine that Matt Ward came in, looked at how the Dark Angels were getting absolutely deep-throated, their balls and taint tickled, with three fingers up the poop chute, and then decided, "yes, I can do more," and then delivered on that claim in ways we cannot even imagine?
Do you still think they would be cool then?
No, they wouldn't be. You'd be here posting fucking Smurfs to be cunts. Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of here with your gay green space knights who got btfo at their gimmick by the Black Templars (who do space knights better), the Space Wolves (who do being gay better), and the Flesh Tearers (who do team-killing better).
lol calm down Ultrafag.
No.
>Without *Lord of the Rings, you wouldn't have 40k
You wouldn't even have Warhammer. Both the game and the scale of GW.
Warhammer was heavily influenced by LOTR, and when those movies came out and the SBG rode alongside them GW made so much money it shot them up to top dog making the giant that you see today.
So I will not thank shitty clones of Star Wars stormtroopers, they don't deserve anything but contempt.
Space Marines are Warhammer soul, but Ultramarines are fucking soulless bore and fuck you for pretending they aren't, gay.
The fact that soulless generic marysue shit is pushed more and more is a great contributing factor to the sorry state of affairs.
>Space Marines are Warhammer soul
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
