Speaking of Diggas, fun fact: Waaaaaay back in the days of Rogue Trader, human mercenaries were sometimes recruited by Orks. By Blood Axes mostly, but some of the humans mimicked Orkish culture well enough that other Warbosses would hire them too. It's in the book "Freebooterz: Space Ork Army Lists". Here's a direct quote: "When confronted by such a strange aberration as Humans doing their best to swagger about like Orks, speaking in pidgin Orkish and dressed up like some ungainly parody of the Orky race, any Warbosses might be sufficiently baffled and flattered enough to let them come along with the tribe for entertainment value if nothing else". So yeah, Diggas have existed since first edition, though they weren't called that.

@dominusbalial835 Ай бұрын

Wanted to make a ork warlord that was a sort of joke play on a "equality" movement. Where the warband is lead by a famous and infamous ork philospher who faces many criticisms from orkish society for being unorky although his followers think he's one of the orkiest orks that exist that's so orky he makes other orks insecure. He thinks that fighting is amazing and that green isn't a colour on ones skin but a colour within ones soul. The orky warband is extremely agreeable and trustworthy by orky standards and highly open and creative. and make extensive use of xenos who love to fight as well. The warband contains former khornate human outcasts, ogyrns, former imperial and chaos beastmen, etc. Whoever loves fighting is welcome to join the warband whether they're orky or not. The warlords dream is to have the entire galaxy erupted into co-operative light hearted wargames. So that Gork and Mork will be finally happy with the state of the galaxy and come for a visit. He loves looting and fighting and learning about how other cultures fight. And the warband doesn't discriminate heavily against certain types of fighting. Believing that it's the fighting that counts and that all races should be given proper equity based consideration for how they fight. Humans are squishy and will prefer to fight with firearms, and that's alright as long as they're fighting.

@izzymosley1970 10 ай бұрын

I think the reason why humans can get so strong in Warhammer 40K is because of the harsh conditions of the Galaxy forcing humans to have to adapt to survive and we know from real life that humans are incredibly adaptable. This combined with the immense resources of the imperium is why I think things like the Lucifer blacks can exist.

Somewhere between the release of 2nd and 3rd edition, GW decided that to bump up the player base of 40k they needed all the fanatsy factions to also be in 40k. But that took time to create rules and models which is why some of the fanatsy factions didnt appear until 3rd, most notably Dark Eldar and Necrons, the Exodites was the plan for the woodelves making it into space and the return of the slann and or zoats was the lizardmen. But then everyone stopped playing fantasy and start playing 40k, so a lot of the plans were suddenly dropped and it was decided that 40k should not be just fantasy battle in space (as that was the games biggest criticism), which is why the necrons were totally reworked from metal skeletons and metal zombies wearing flesh into what they are today, the exodites were quietly dropped as eldar riding dinosaurs shooting arrows at space marines is frankly laughable and instead we got totally unique factions like genestealer cults, ad mech and tau. GW makes cool models to sell....then makes the lore and rules around that model not the other way round. Which is why factions just disappear so easily, its not that GW have forgotten about them but they are not selling models or dont have models so are not making profit for GW therefor GW dont care about them. I guarantee if a large portion of the player base went out and bought raven gaurd upgrades along with a ton of space marines we would see more raven guard in the lore.

Every side game ever released that had space marines like space hulk featured all the three above but no Ultra's. They became the poster boys as they are the most friendly/easy to learn/get along with to get you into the setting. The Ultramarines in current 10th are in the generic space marine codex, along with imp fists and raven gaurd.

As for aliens there's a number of neat ones, I think the Barghesi are neat as they're this weird cyborg like race. They're hyper aggressive and generally cool though there's no gw photos I believe.

I should point out that rogue traders have shown up from time to time. Eisenhorn the game, Inquisition Martyr, Battle Fleet Gothic (the board game), amongst others. Not to say they've been dove into but they are mentioned from time to time. In fact I believe a new 40k game is coming out which is specifically about playing as a rogue trader.

Hmm, when you asked about if wh40k should have more serious things or comedic stuff in stories and games, I think Rogue Traders would be the best solution to cover all creatures, wonders and themes this galaxy could offer. If not a big ass game, maybe a movie or tv series could show many cool things you mentioned in your videos. With traders GW can show and tell all kind of fun stuff when ever needed too :)

@ducdantalion2317 6 ай бұрын

As someone who grew up on the old rpg book of Warhammer 40k (that was my second foray into the word after dawn of war) I have a very very conflicting relationship with modern lore. I loved the navigator lore, the crimson guards concept (before the skitari truly became a continuous concept), the diverse Imperial Guard, the all concept of the agent of the dragoon (tech-heresy inquisition from mars), the various warp and space threat that are not the big threats. I love that chaotic world, which was very humourous and dark, yet human. 😊

@simonio6655 10 ай бұрын

Some of these could work as kill teams, something smaller but still dedicated units, maybe the diggas (this is dangerously close to a certain slur), also it could be cool if there was some side section, like imperial agents for other factions, like xenos for hire like the pirates you suggested

Dude those fraal or whatever the hell they are look and sound sick. And agree as someone that dislikes chaos, they could definitely use some actual chaos guard regiments that are more than cultist rabble.

I would love to see you (and others) go over the Yu'Vath and the Umbra. Syama Pederson's short film, "Astartes," has two spherical, xenos entities which seem to me to be either Yu'Vath constructs or members of the Umbra species/whatever. Details are scant outside of early Rogue Trader and the more recent (as in, newer than the 1990's) Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader tabletop RPGs, but what we do have is both cool and creepy AF.

I live rogue traders too, everytime i see them they are basically captains of merc ships, they are literally the adventurers of 40k so its wierd how you don't see them often since they are normally the protagonists of adventure storys, exploration, crime etc they kinda fit everywhere when its about someone not under imperial oppression, also the tau faith theory is so cool since it would have all the aliens, i wouldn't be surprised if humans were the most important part since human faithful af

Well when it comes to Rouge traders, i'd say that what you ask for is being adressed at last. With the new upcoming Rouge Trader CRPG, that you can play the beta of which is really good, if a bit buggy, it really leans into what being a rouge trader is all about and the power and choices that offers you. It even has you also get kidnapped by the dark eldar and has an entire section in the dark city which is hoenslty a sight to behold as it holds nothing back and has a foucus on learning how do things the drukari way and use their own ways against them to come out on top.

Actually beastmen have their own comic series. Summary it’s set on a war torn world that is still in the feudal era, there are regions afflicted by the warp and the story more or less follows a barbarian outcast mostly humanist beastman (can disguise himself but can’t use a laser because he almost lost a arm doing it- summary his finger for wedged in the trigger and stuck between letting the gun overheat and explode or destroying it… well yeah he destroyed it) However we pretty much know how the story ends because it’s shown in volume 3. A black Stone Mountain. A flash forward to the future where said mountain awakens and Necrons leave the planet. This happens just as the planet is on route to becoming a civilized planet by imperium standards. Needless to say the planet doesn’t withstand the Necrons so the ‘story’ we know is already doomed but not for the time as the character lived. Oh also he’s a beastman but basically he can shave- so he looks more like a mutant minus him having a lot of scars to remove ‘bad skin’ and so on. We’re on volume 16. There Is Orgyn that does sign language too… sign language being: finger painting what you want instead of sign language. Also demons aren’t effected by radiation because there were a few cultists using a crater as a summoning ritual but… for good reasons: remove the mutants of the land so they their city may spread. They also chose the radioactive crater so that they wouldn’t live past this heresy even if their hearts were in the right place. Also after this he is picked up by the Ogryn and because he has no hair because of radiation he’s welcomed mostly into human society thinking he’s a malformed or malnurished ogryn. Currently in volume 16 he’s in the hive and finding the cultist leaders. Summary: ‘if we are invaded by demons then the imperium will see our world as valuable because why else would we be attacked?’ So yeah, not higher ups causing this it common citizens more or less. Jk jk, I made this up (/0w0)/

Id really rather nit have the Rangdan come back. Their much more interesting as an unknown that the imperium actively suppressed the knowledge of. Further the fact that the imperium deployed weapons that wipedout the very information of the Rangdan from the universe both makes in almost a certainty that they are long gone, and that their very existence might have been some kind of memetic/cognito-hazard.
