I'm in love with the Eldar Farseers, they're hot and deadly.

 

 

 

And silly, like all the craftworld Eldar.

The main difference between Warhammer and Dragon Age is that Dragon Age is for mature, sophisticated gamers such as myself, and Warhammer is for racists, children, and people who need to compensate for the size of their manhood by fantasising about 15-kilometre-long spaceships, and things like "Exterminatius" or whatever.

Who hurt you?

Who hurt you?

 

A big bad space marine.

"Show me on this doll where he purged you."

What if I told that some recruits also may not survive the rigours of training and the later medical treatments one must undergo to become a full-fledged Grey Knight?

 

SOME? MAY?

The drop out/death ratio for becoming a SM is downright scary. To become a GK it's even worse.

 

And Psykers in the Imperium are downright scary. Normal psykers cna kill you in ways so grousome, it makes anything in DA look like kiddies playing.

 

A demon possessed one can literally destroy a planet...and doom everyone on it to eternal torment as demons gnaw on their souls.

 

Sanctioned psykers have to undergo a soul-binding ritual and wear psychic hood or inhibitors. Unsanctioned psykers are killed on sight.

 

Hell, the Imperium is very "mercifull" to psykers but only because they are so useful and because of soul binding/psychic hoods.

 

PRAISE BE TO HIM ON TERRA!!!

Yes, praise be to the ever rotten corpse! I'm sure Nurgle is very pleased with this worship.

That was the point. Success rate for Joining isn't attractive for Grey Warden recruits either.

Burn the heretic! Kill the mutant! Purge the unclean!

[KainD]

Burn the heretic! 

 

Don't you worry, the imperium will burn alright.

Well if everyone is calling favorites, I would have to say my vote goes to Necrons with Tyranids in a close second.

 

I do prefer the old codex Necrons though; in certain areas, I liked the Cuthulu vibe of the old lore compared to the "Tomb Kings in Space!" vibe the new lore has.

 

As for the Tyranids, well they are the Tyranids. They eat planets. And unlike the Imperium or followers of Chaos, they don't destroy worlds because of some devotion to a dead man, or some warp spawned demon. They do it because they are hungry.

[EmperorSahlertz]

The new Necrons do have a little more personality now though. Before they were just the slave automatons of the C'tan, and it was the C'tan (of which only two were revealed) who had all the personality.

 

Personally I am a Tau kind of guy. Or Space Marines... Nothing beats the Space Marines.

Tyranids are my favorites. All fear the advance of the great devourer! Its feeling a bit peckish...

[KainD]

When it comes to favorites it always comes down to what would I personally wanna do.

Would I like to be a mindless hungry beast, a blood thirsty animal? Would I want to be an emotionless machine? Would I want to be a lowly soldier, a zealot with no personal life? 

No. 

 

I want to be the most intelligent, the most beautiful, the most skilled. I wanna love and hate with great passion. I want to live, to burn bright, to party hard and enjoy every second of my being in euphoria.

True. 

 

I love the political backstabbing and various motives that the new Necrons can have, especially at how they were depicted in the book 'The Fall of Damnos'.

 

What I find annoying about the new Codex is how the poster child of Necrons are now essentially Tomb Kings in space.

 

"Look at the new Necron Lord, he looks like a Pharaoh with his Egyptian head dress!" "Look at the new Necron vehicles, don't they look like ancient chariots, because the Necrons are like the Egyptians!" "Did you see the new lore describing the Necrotyr society, its exactly like the societies of ancient Egypt, because the new Necrons are the Tomb Kings in space!"

 

Ugh.

You want to be a perverted hedonistic sadist? 

[KainD]

You want to be a perverted hedonistic sadist? 

 

Perverted? Maybe. Hedonistic? Most definitely. Sadist? Not really..  

 

You have to account for the peoples inner world. Something that wasn't already there won't come out, but what is is going to be taken to extremes, and I like the idea. 

[Master Warder Z_]

There is only the greater good 

 

The Tau may be the newest kids on the block but they have already smashed a hive fleet, fight an imperium invasion to a standstill, defeated a host of undead robot mummies and are doing fairly well in their little skirmish war against the Eldar (their dark counterparts anyway)

 

Oh and i despise Ward

Guys, if you want to discuss only W40k, please do it in another thread/forum.

Good point.

 

Getting back on topic, aren't the demons/spirits of the Fade created and feed off of the emotions or ideals that they represent; just like the entities of the Warp? Both the Warp and the Fade are the realm of the collective unconscious, and both have areas that are under the sway of a particular spirit/demon; areas that have reached a point where they can reinforce the energy they feed off of, therefore becoming self sustaining. 

 

The first time I played DA:O and learned about the Fade, the first thing I thought of was the Warp, the similarities are uncanny.

Demons of the Fade do reflect some human emotions, but they aren't created from them. The Daemons of the Immaterium are directly created by the feelings of sentient beings. So the only similarty here really, is that demons and daemons both feed on emotion, but that is about it.

Did the Demons/Spirits exist prior to the inhabitants of Thedas though? Justice has no knowledge of where the Fade denizens come from, they could have always existed, or they could have been "birthed" by the dreamers emotions and thoughts, it is left open and ambiguous.

 

WH40K does spell out how the deamons come to be, but from the perspective of the Warp denizens, they have always existed.

[EmperorSahlertz]

We don't have anything concrete on the creation of demons and spirits, but according to legend they are older than the mortal world. Obviously before the mortal world became a factor, the demons and spirits did not have any emotions or virtues to latch on to, so they were different back then.

[KainD]

Have to remember the wisps, they don't really represent anything. 

[Master Warder Z_]

Have to remember the wisps, they don't really represent anything. 

 

That's about as close to death as a Demon can get.

 

So obviously they don't represent any aspect, their aspect has being destroyed along with their Avatar enough times to just fade.

[EmperorSahlertz]

It is only a theory that wisps are demons and spirits which have somehow died or lost their power.

I thought the DAO codex said straight up Wisps were destroyed fragments of demons.
