Learning more and more about Warhammer 40k Versus Warhammer Fantasy and just constantly disappointed at all my friends who really like one but disregard the other
Sorry but literally no amount of This Space Empire Guy doing This Horrible Warcrime is going to be half as entertaining to me as learning about the new fucked up way the skaven found to jam footsoldiers full of green glowing cocaine and putting them in a hamsterwheel with spikes on it, a setting where that happens is infinitely more compelling for writing and monster design
granted I'm also not horny for the big doofy power armor everyone else seems to love, I also don't care for starcraft and I don't have a disposable income large enough to exhaust on thousands of warcrimesman figurines so maybe it just ain't for me
It is similarly telling that the 40k writers at some point admitted that "Well the reason we don't put the skaven in the 40k setting is because they'd win"
TBQH that just speaks to how boring the whole thing is to me. Who cares if they'd win. I wanna see a rat ogre beat up a space marine. fuck the chaos legion, let's see how the chaos legion succumbs to Infinite Rat Works, THAT would get me at least marginally interested.
If you're the type of person to go "well the rats wouldn't necessarily beat This Imperial Thing or That or Tanks or Whatever because of More Advanced Technology etc" CONGRATULATIONS you have fallen for the classic blunder of thinking I give a single hot shit about balance in a setting where the emperor is a skeleton on a tube throne, I'm not here to play the game I'm here for the rats, bring on the RATS
