[Rumor] Bioware to get Warhammer 40k licence

[TheEntitledOne]

What happened to MCA?

Oh wait, he was attacked by an Arcanum wolf.

 

[Excidium]

At least it's just another spehss mehreen wankery, I'd hate to see Bioware ruining something with potential like a Dark Heresy CRPG. Also good that they don't get to shit on the blood magpies.

 

[Random]

The very obvious reason as to why there aren't any male Space Marines is that they've always been male and the Sisters of Battle have always been female. It's been that way since the days the Emperor was still able to walk

The Adepta Sororitas was created in the 36th millennium, far far after the death of the emperor. Gooby pls

True, but there were the Sisters of Silence before them and they did exactly the same fucking thing except with less FAITH retardation.

 

[lightbane]

Also

It's quite funny that Black Crusade/Only war (the latest wh40k games) made Lasguns an quite effective starting weapon, to the point you could actually kill people with it (moreso with upgrades) .

 

[Jaedar]

Well.... the lasgun is still pretty shit. Especially compared to "real" weapons like plasma or bolters. The long las has been ridiculously good since the first errata though.

SoS still exist operating the Black Ships, presumably.

Sources Brother? And If God Emperor was aware of Insidious Chaos to the point of creating His private own Proto Inquisition to combat it why the Primarchs were not warned?

 

[evdk]

Eh? Of course the Emperor was aware of Chaos, that's why he tried to force the Imperial Creed on everyone, it just backfired spectacularly.
My sources re: SoS are somewhere in the W30k books, I think in one of the short stories.

 

[Dreaad]

Heh I can see the origin stories now, Eldar seer apprentice, Space Marine scout, Imperial Guardsmen and ork grunt. Any of them can join the inquisition because chaos is TOO powerfull, the secret ritual to let you join is drinking some khorne daemon blood.

 

[Comrade Goby]

BRING BACK THE EMPRA

Nah, not the chaos. But a race of ancient living machines that wants to wipe out all life in the galaxy - Necrons. But at the end it turns out they're only doing this so you won't be killed by Chaos Gods.

How is bioware going to do their rag tag team story in a universe where pretty much every race is homicidally racist against eachother?

Also, if this is true, than I fear for all the elf romance demand threads that will arise.​

It will be a series of misunderstandings.

Bioware is too hippie to make something out of Warhammer 40k without adulterating the nonsense of it.

Also I would like to romance a Tyranid.

I want S/S romance with a Necron.

A shy geeky tyranid?

And people will want the tau to be the quarians, and have a sexy tau techy to be part of your team.

These ones are all troll posts in case someone wans't sure.

Hopefully this is true. I've always wanted a tranny Spess Mehreen.

Just think.

In the game we can meet and befriend a Necron Lord, who will keep asking us if it has a soul, we'll have a Tau engineer that joins up as part of some right of passage, and she'll love to use made up curse words. An Eldar scientist, who's real shy and specializes in studying the Old Ones will join up as well, followed by an old Ork Warboss, an unsanctioned psyker with a troubled childhood, a couple other space marines, and one imperial guardsmen who doesn't like authority, and is kinda a loner.

Together you and your motley crew must stop the Chaos Gods from destroying the galaxy.

I'd buy it.

It will be hilarious when the BSN social justice crusader types start posting their suggestions for such a game.

You think that will stop BSN?

So, with Bioware will we get the first gay Space Marine (maybe in pink armor) or the first lesbian Sister of Battle?

I can't wait to see Orks as a misunderstood honorable savage race that we need to recruit to fight the Necron.

Lol, I'd pay money to see this, just for the comedy value and the ensuing train wreck or outcries and delicious tears if they adhere to the lore and universe of 40k.

Wait, the tears of the social justice crusaders and tolerance fanatics if Bioware sticks to the lore, or the tears of the purists and nostalgians if they disregard chunks of it to soften it?

I'll do what I always do when a company craps all over the universe. Refuse to acknowledge it exists. I've done that with the current re write of the 40k universe lore and silly additions. I don't acknowledge the existence of anything after the 4th edition.

I'll simply laugh at the train wreck Bioware makes of it, or if they stick to the lore, then I laugh at the tears of the social justice crusaders. Either way, I win.

Bioware really can't outshine the master, though, no matter what derp they introduce.

Ah, "Blue is sneaky" has always been a part of Ork lore, hasn't it. Unless that poor bastard venerates Warboss Kalgarr as his Spirtul Leej, that would suck.

 

[MicoSelva]

So, has this Bioware-WH40K thing been confirmed or are we still indulging in the same wankery as in Fallout 4 thread?

Only a bolter can.

Aren't purple the sneaky ones?

 

[Mother Russia]

It would be amazing to have a 3 way crossover EVENT with WH40K, MASS EREKT, and STAR WARS.


It should be set on the gay planet.

Sit back and PROFIT

[Forbidden Lore Xenos] Failure.

Blue is for luck. Purple is the sneaky color.

 

[evdk]

It doesn't matter after IG artillery is done with shelling the Orks position.

BioWare doing 40K truly is a match made in WTF land. I'm kind of hoping it's true, because I can't imagine it won't hilarious. Though I'll admit I'm a bit worried that if it really is true, BioWare will end up influencing the tabletop setting. THQ did.

True, but there were the Sisters of Silence before them and they did exactly the same fucking thing except with less FAITH retardation.

SoS still exist operating the Black Ships, presumably.

Sources Brother? And If God Emperor was aware of Insidious Chaos to the point of creating His private own Proto Inquisition to combat it why the Primarchs were not warned?

SoS were all anti-psykers, which is just as silly and even more fucking stupid than the SoB faith shit because does bad, bad things to the wider setting.

As for the state or fate of the SoS, I'm near certain that's never been answered. The current fluff both implies they no longer exist, and that they serve the Black Ships. Perhaps the closest thing to an answer, is that the empire definitively no longer has the ability to create anti-psykers on any kind of scale. That loss would imply that the SoS are lost, but that there just perhaps might have been enough left over to keep a tiny and dwindling remnant stationed on the Black Ships.

The Man with The Golden Corpse definitively knew of the chaos gods before gearing up for the galactic reconquista. But it used to be he didn't fully understand the infectious nature of the warp and the extent of the powers of chaos. That's what made the premise for the whole thing make sense. And it's just another one of the things the SoS shit fucks a big, bleeding hole in.

... There's retconning, and then there's retconning GW style. In isolation I don't terribly mind a lot of the changes they've made over the years (though seriously, stop being dicks and bring back all the armylists you've axed over the years. Some of us were using them). It's just that they never seem to consider the wider implications for the logic of the setting. To the point that it no longer has any. And that's a pity, I think.

 

[evdk]

GW doesn't retcon, GW uses its fluff like a crate of lego bricks. Sometimes they chuck the blue ones out and sometimes they put them back in, but they never truly retcon anything. Tzeentchean schemes are a wonderful excuse.

I thought his objective was to convince people to not believe in the supernatural in order to prevent Chaos getting a foothold before humanity evolved into psychers powerful enough to defend themselves without his assistance.

I take it you haven't heard of MATT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD's new Necron?

That's the thing I was referring to. The emperor was trying to fashion mankind into an ideal rational psyker. But the psyker bit was only part of the plan because it wasn't optional. A few retcons later and suddenly it was optional. At which point the emperor, rather than being a tragic hero that failed, is kind of hard to see as anything but a monstrously evil fuck that tried to feed humanity to chaos, but accidentally got more or less killed very early in the process.
