It's Okay, The Glue Trap Will Turn Into Him Soon Enough.

The US certainly did play a huge role in beating the Nazis, too. The Leand-Lease act sent billions of dollars worth of supplies across the Atlantic, which was a major factor in the allied victory. Roughly 30% of the trucks, bombers, and fighters used by the Soviet Union by the end of the war were US-supplied, not to mention the immense amount of food shipped over.

We did beat them, not with guns but with farms and factories (and then we helped with the guns part at the end).

So this is a little design exercise I did with my brother that I found fun and would love to hear warhammer fans thoughts:

GW decides every armies getting 2 new kits next year.

They say they aren't updating any, all of these kits are going to be entirely new per army, not models we've ever seen before (so you can't say necron pariah or an updated nightbringer, we've seen those)

What would you want them to add? To your or other armies.

Maybe I'm just projecting, but the Emperor's Children really read as people who were told, all their lives, that they were the best, and yet everywhere they looked they saw evidence that they weren't. Sure, they had the Aquilla, but the Ultramarines conquered worlds far more quickly, and the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus became the legion of the Warmaster, and the Dark Angels were allowed special weapons, and the Thousand Sons had psychic powers that allowed them to be as effective as a far more numerous force, and so on.

But, everyone says they're the best, so they try, as hard as they can, to prove themselves worthy of it, not realizing that they don't have to.

Then there's the Laer campaign. They declare that they'll do it in a month, and it takes far longer. During the battle, they see the Laers, and how each one is "perfectly" engineered to serve their role. The Laers are, at least in some ways, better than them. And so they try to mimic them. Fulgrim picks up the sword, and it tells him "I can make you the best".

They never break and say "fuck it, I'll have fun--if they did, they wouldn't have fallen.

They just went deeper and deeper. "Just a bit more," Slaanesh told them, "and you'll be perfect".

Maybe it's just the people I follow, but I feel like the Emperor's Children community on Tumblr has a bit of a woobification issue. I wasn't sure how to describe it, but that word fits.

Lucius is a pretty neat character--compared to the other Chaos Champions, he didn't have that big a role in his legion's fall to Chaos--he was even slated to die alongside the Loyalists on Istvaan III. He still became Slaanesh's champion. He has, through his personality and abilities, pleased Slaanesh far more than Eidolon, who practically orchestrated the Legion's entire fall, and I don't think people talk about it enough.

He doesn't "win by losing", he wins when he loses. He's a damn good fighter, and he's been doing it for ten millennia. If he was bad, there'd be so many faces on his armor that you wouldn't even be able to make them out.

Those faces also serve to torment him. As someone else pointed out, "every one of those faces is a reminder that the fact that he's alive means he's been beat". And it pisses him off, because he's a proud bastard--and he damn well should be, he's the champion of a Chaos God.

Lucius is no girlfail at all

I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.

Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:

Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)

He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.

He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite

He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)

He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.

He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.

He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).

He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.

He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)

40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.

He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).

And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.

So... appearantly when Bile falls asleep, he dreams of his fucking surgery thingy deattaching itself from him and conducting its own experiments. This is a genuine canon thing.

(I swear this man is only 50% mad scientist, the rest is just him being a silly tired gandpa)

Thunderhawks don't fly. They take engines and point them straight down. When they need to move, they take more engines and point them backwards. Sometimes there's ailerons or rudders to change direction. Other times they just use more engines.

It's engines all the way down.

I have a feeling that a space marine (talking about in armour here btw) might actualy be more earodynamic than any of the space marine planes

You know what? Yeah

LIKE TO CHARGE REBLOG TO CAST LET'S GET THIS FUCKER EXPLODEDED

One of the key traits of my homebrew chapter is that they're fighter pilots, so whenever one of my character models fails in a memorable manner, if he doesn't have one already, he's getting a callsign (and a name if I haven't named him by then).

Currently i have:

- Techmarine Takao Mataumoto, callsign "anvil", because he got beat up by a Salamander. Said Salamander was a sergeant--not even a character model, but just a regular guy.

- Captain Imai Kichiro, callsign "Grotslayer". In a battle against the Orks, a grot sniped him in one hit (including a CP reroll for the saving throw) while the rest of the squad remained unharmed from the rest of the unit's shooting.

<Searching for shipgirl aer on pintrest>

Pintrest: is this what you want? (yuri)

Me: no, show me "ship girl"

Pintrest: is *this* what you want? (more yuri)

Me: still no, show me "battleship girl"

Pintrest: so is *this* what you want? (Girls standing on/in front of battleships, and occasional shipgirls)

Me: close enough
