THE RANDOM THOUGHTS CHAPTER:
This is a chapter for all of those things I think about the Warhammer Universe which don't slot in anywhere, or I can't be bothered to classify et hoc genus omne.
Crap! Even in the future nothing works!
Lasgun, Multilaser, Lascannon. What comes next? A laspointer for those tricky tactical slideshows?
How did the Emperor NOT see the Horus Heresy coming? I mean, anyone with any sense of narrative convenience knows that the hero's most trusted ally ALWAYS turns bad. Seriously.
Land Raider: The chartered accountant of the tabletop game. It is worth about half the points it costs. And does the damage of about a quarter.
Space Marines are about three hundred times worse in the tabletop game than in the Black Library; Imperial Guards are about three hundred times better.
In the Dawn of War series, chaplains can cause their enemy to run in terror by yelling at them. Would this work with, say, a lawyer?
When the new Deamonhunters codex comes out, YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE ANNIHILATED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Is it only me who think that all witchhunters are pyromaniacs? Join the inquisition! Get a flamethrower! Burn innocents! Perfect for disagreeable young ladies!
The Imperium has the social structure of a twelfth century feudal system and the technology to make it work. Not well, but work anyhow.
Why is it that close combat is still integral to warfare? Can't everybody continuously nuke everybody else? No, really. The Tau are the only people who have it half right. The imperium can afford to orbital strike people continuously, yet what is the first reaction of most commanders? Let's send in the infantry and waste even more lives. Just tactically blow them to pieces will you? As far as blowing people into pieces can be called tactics. AAAARRG!
