WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Decent boomer shooter bogged down by one of the worst final boss fights ever put in the genre.

Why was Warhammer Fantasy so balanced in its worldbuilding while Warhammer 40K is just "the space marine setting"?

Remember in september m/

when your entire squad dies in a fucking car crash

Spess mureeen

The chaos sorcerer final fight might as well just be, "we're going to make you fight the other 2 bosses again before you can kill the REAL final boss". It's not great, but at least it's not Doom 2s evil wall that spits out monsters. Or Doom 3s cyber demon you can only kill in exactly 1 way. Or Halo which hilariously has never had a good final boss fight.

Never knew what meme was about, now I am a fan of Saboton.

/sm2g/ died

No.... it can't be over already...

Sabaton is so fuking cringe

Space Marines are big boys

most metal is

All good metal has a grain of selfaware ridiculousness.

Space marines are cool enough that a bunch of teenagers made liking them their entire personality which led to massive sales for GW. Fantasy had a more balanced fanbase.

Du hast? Hahahahah

These krauts are about to march all over Europe again.

Holy shit when did Rammstein become so dark, I remember them like 25 years ago.

Why was Warhammer Fantasy so balanced in its worldbuilding

It wasn't, and still isn't really. WFB was just an excuse for GW/Citadel to have all their historical and LotR miniatures fight with the same set of rules in the same setting. It's why you've got 11/12th century french knights up against 15/16th century condottieri.
With WFB they had more time I suppose to massage the setting into some semblance of order.
For 40k marines just kind of became the poster children - I don't know how intentional it was or if it was just positive response from the fans, but it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Only marines sell, so focus on marines, so only marines sell, so focus on marines, etc

They always were dumb fuck.

tfw he's thinking about the roman empire again

Rammstein know that they are criminals.

Bros dont back the germans into a corner again they are very smart and brutal and take everything personally.

I dislike the Germans, but I respect their commitment to doing everything at 100%.

Unite greater germany in a brilliant display of subterfuge, war, and politick?

Sehr gut

Conquer all of Western Europe in the single most striking offensive ever witnessed?

Sehr gut

Destroy your own country through unbridled mass immigration.

Sehr gut

Rammstein are homos that are legit insane lol

uhhh actually rammstein are gay psychos

We get it, you are naturally unnerved by Germans.

Very simple

warhammer fantasy genuinely had a balanced playerbase where no one faction massively dominated over the others

40k players mostly play space marines, thus space marines keep getting released, thus more people keep buying into space marines

german bois have care for each otherm this upsets thd jew.

NIEN!

Because only autistic teenagers enjoy 40K.

Du... du hast mich?

M/ not even german.

this song is 40 years old.

get"s better with age

Hahaha Rammstein doesn't give a fuck.

This song is a banger

lol they are literal nazis

Or Halo which hilariously has never had a good boss fight

FTFY

They are based

You are not welcome.

Spent a dozen years killing ragheads with german bros, du hast is the least of your concerns, those boys are ridiculous and meticulous

Being meticulous in a military setting is good. Metus literally means 'fear of harm,' so being critical of things that may fucking kill you is probably a good thing.

These are people that want to eat.

goddamned rammstein is based.

kek dumb ass we have been telling you this for 30 years

My DI made me do push ups to rammstein before being delpoyed.

what is anyone talking about in this thread

Du, du hast mich?

Space marines are the coolest, most original part of the setting

Their knightly, futuristic supersoldier theme is immediately understandable and easy to sum up in single sentence

They're also the easiest to make into "your dudes" because they're easily customizable

It's really no surprise that the space marines are popular
What is a surprise to me is to find out that space marines outsold literally all of AoS.

German bros are gonna win.

Germans can fucking rock

be a centuries-old veteran winning battles on the toughest of battlefields

get ambushed and die unceremoniously from some bug mutant in a derelict spaceship, while wielding some of the single-most valuable gear available to your organization

TURN THIS SHIP AROUND
TURN THIS SHIP AROUND

Yessir

You motherfuckers are gonna have to play with us now

Lol, imagine that happening to your entire chapter?

SUCK MEIN

This game is so boring.

maps are simple and uninteresting

gameplay is really easy, nothing is a threat except aspiring champions in a tight space

le smurfs and black legion

I met these german boys and 4 years later they completely broke everything.

What the fuck is even in those hulks to warrant a 1st Founding Chapter getting absolutely decimated?

German boys are Rammstein.
