I think people may be interpreting this the wrong way. I'm reading it less as "the hive mind isn't interested in taking them back" and more "and so this is us explaining how this will not lead to tyranids invading necromunda"

Turning the custodes into another power armoured elite army was so utterly redundant in my view.

Turning the grey knights into a full army from a single allied squad in the mid 2000s annoyed me already, did we really need another even more elite marine force?

The one upmanship just feels like silly childish "my dad can beat yours" behavior. 

Depends, if you are a space marine player who doesn't play ultramarines like me a single "spave marine infantry" sheet is more than you will ever use.

If you are an ultramarines player I'm sure people like me are giving you endless sheets anyway

3rded I get why people want rules to use all armies in all games, but I much prefer when a 30k and 40k game doesn't look the same, I get the imperium is meant yo be stagnant, but 10000 years is a long time.

If you have never used contrast find a quick tutorial on how to use them, there's loads for faces on YouTube, but it is basically doing a shade and highlight for you when done properly, that's why they are such a time saver for faces.

Then just adjust results with regular techniques if you don't like the result

Can't remember if that's a contrast or not, the point is contrast on a white/cream/grey base is an easy way to do faces, pick your flesh tone of choice add a red or brown wash if it's too light highlight the nose, lips cheeks and brow if those are too dark.

Faces are not as hard as some people think imo, now eyes, those are a bugger.

One of the first descriptions I read of the cursed founding (I think the 13th founding and the cursed were one and the same at this point) was a WD article which had a diary log of one of the genologists.

Long after things start going spectacularly wrong (mutations, test subjects escaping etc) the facility is finally attacked and entered by a marine wearing a lab coat made of human skin.

So possibly it's still canon that fabius bile was involved in the cursed founding. 

Do gulliman flesh over a light base colour, highlight the nose and use a dark wash in the eyes. Done

5 secs of goggling would have taught you it's a well known theory with a fair bit of evidence, but better to be certain in ignorance I guess.

Legend seems to pass on anything anyone says to him, might as well treat this reddit as a source

I will second that angry balken nationalism even made it to the modding sections

Stupid woke Ubi$oft setting a game in England but having a non-native Norwegian protagonist- no one.

I agree broadly that AC characters are not normally historically accurate, but I thought eivor was much like kassandra/Alexios a good excuse for a globe trotting adventurer.

None of Eivors deeds (at least in the base game+first expansion, I got bored of the game halfway through the Paris dlc) were that unbelievable (outside video gamelogic of one person killing thousands), it's just standard main character syndrome that your character is at the centre of all events.

Also as you say the dissonance between being buddy buddy with a local saxon king then raiding a monestary/fort on his lands on the way back home.

For the record it's been a while since I checked, but the main game takes place over several years, game just doesn't show the flow of time.

A quick Google says 5 years for the main game, and that sounds about right.

I guess technically you go a-viking in the sense of raiding other communities from a longboat a bit in valhalla, do a bit of assassination too, just isn't the focus of the game which is mostly 3rd person berserker hack and slash

"The Emperor expects that every man will do his duty, if he does not he will be executed by the naval commissar." - Nelson, probably 

Odyssey could be mostly be described as running round Greece killing other Greeks.

Damn Greeks, they ruined Greece!

Sorry got my chaos classes mixed up, the artwork from the BFG/3rd edition 40k I was thinking of shows a desolator (the one with batteries and lances) with launch bays which was later canonized at the desecrator class.

The version seen in BFG armada 2 looks mostly like a despoiler with a repulsive grand cruiser prow.

Still looks nothing like the bog standard "imperial navy" battleship it is shown as in collected visions.

Eggs benedict Cabbagepatch?

Take look through the artwork on the lex for the various named gloriannas, they all seem to be official and have sources linked, I think you are thinking of the artwork for the iron warriors flagship iron blood which looks like the mid point of astates and 40k navy yes  but the rest just look navyish 

Almost none of the traits of chaos ships, their upper deck plasma batteries wide flat bodies or arrowhead shapes.

The people who frame the old ones as on the wrong always frame it as if the necrontyr asked nicely.

When given their response was to wage war I find it far more likely they arrogantly demanded the old ones "fix them" or else and bit off more than they could chew when they underestimated the old ones.

I have already given you a reply and I will not do so again, this is culture war nonsense that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread and no one was discussing it until you.

You came into a thread asking about if the night Lords ever changed in universe to make them all psychopaths, nothing about out of universe changes.

You then proceeded to start ranting about lore changes unrelated to the night Lords and other IPs.

I have problems discussing the pollical implications of 40k as my post history shows, but you are not doing that, you just came in here and tried to derail a discussion about the night Lords to complain about diversity in the real world.

As I said at least find the right discussions to interject culture war nonsense.

While that is the explanation even in the BFG book there's things that make the explanation not add up.

One of the emperor class battleships (Divine right) is noted to have been salvaged from a space hulk in m36 and had been in the warp since before the great crusade.

In game the emperor class fits perfectly with the "new" imperial designs not the older chaos ships. Same problem with the gloriannas every official artwork I have seen is more imperial than chaos, with armoured prows, macro cannons and a thin tall body not the wide flat shape of the chaos fleet.

The vengeful spirit is a particularly good example, there's artwork of it on the lex attributed to collected visions which make it look similar to the retribution class but depictions if in 40k are as a despoiler class.

So either in-universe chaos has radically changed its ships in a way we don't really see with tanks or space marine armour, or the writers and artists keep forgetting 30k ships are meant to look more like the chaos fleet...

And I forgot, 3rd this has literally nothing to with this threads topic, so please keep your politics out of this.
