I wonder is Kot is so boringly pro-human in all settings. "Nah, Hobbits sucks, only Gondor is worth it!". "Bah, Spock sucks, he's not even human!"

I wonder if Sheb is so boringly anti-human in all settings. "Nah, humans suck, only cat people Na'vi is worth it!"

Don't be daft sheb :P

Just paint yourself green and shout Waaagh! and you'll be fine.

Aren't there some humies on Gorkamorka doing just that? They got the protection of necrons for some unknown reason, avoiding immediate krumping, but from there on they started copying Orks more and more until they occupied some niche near mekboy/slave, below orkboyz and above gretchin

Digganobz.

I think Fulgrim emulates the evolution of art in its cycles
Like how the Greeks tried portraying the most realistic essence of mankind, but as their skill improved this became more easily done so they switched to making perfect embodiments of man - the gods. Then they got bored of that and started making really fucked up shit / waifus. Cue to modern day where we had the same shit, a run up to epic realism of dankest proportion, then impressionism, then 2deep4u, then 3deep5u bodily fluids on canvas "art"
Then 40k is just the same, with perfectionists like Fulgrim setting out a path for another 10,000 years of that cycle, wherein perfectionists perfect their skill until they start having to go 2deep4u because they're really bored with realism leading up to human sculptures from fabulous bile
I also like how 40k, their painters, photographers and journalists are called remembrancers

Yes... no.
One of the main characters, the remembrancer sculptor guy got it right and actually told Fulgrim before Fulgrim flipped the fuck out and pinned him to the statue of Emperor It's not about achieving the perfection itself (which was what Slannesh promised and you get pretty graphic descriptions of how it turned out), but rather the pursuit of perfection and the fact that the beauty in his stuff (including the mentioned statue of Emperor which Fulgrim was fucking angry about because it was soooooo good) is not from it being perfect but rather from it being imperfect and having "human" spark or something.

Actualy, I noticed it long time ago, when I was a kid. Like, for example, everyone was playing Heroes of Might and Magic as various races and even enjoyed being evil Inferno fucks or something, but I stuck to the boring Castle hardcore. People called me out on this and... I never actually got why it is like that. It doesn't have to do much with them being evil or good or European or whatever, because I do enjoy some good Human variation (also, Rohan > Gondor, they just need some wings and they would make pretty good Winged Hussars) and I don't have anything much against Xeno Aliums Fantasy Hobbits as long as they're bros with us, but I was seriously born with hardwired "HFY" into my brain.

Hobbits are the worst, Dorfs are better in every way

I belive Dorfs are short humans that have confused sexualities, but apart from that completly normal. They are part of HFY.

Ahahaha, you can't have a copout like that, otherwise Eldar are just humans with pointy ears and earsexuality

So basically learn from experimentation instead of imitation?

I guess you aren't using it as an outlet for "bad". (I am talking about the aforementioned HoMM players.)

In Wh40k lore Squats were literally just a sub-race of humans, though.
That was also the time when Eldar and Humans were completly capable of interbreeding and there was Half-Eldar Space Marine, so you might be onto something.

Not sure what you mean. Fulgrim and the rest experimented a lot and ended up with (literally) shit statues and music instruments made out of living humans.

I never felt the need for that. I can play Nazis or something but I never understood why some people enjoy being evil in games so much. It's fun and a nice break from being boring hero again, but I would still proably feel bad if I started stealing and killing everyone even in a game.
Inb4 that means I'm a psychopath or something.

Until they got squatted
Anyways, this is Dorf forum, that is definitely a copout

Half Eldar space marine is not fertile, sounds like something a tiger and lion would produce
Shame they never tried the Eldar Imperium gambit though, that'd be a pretty cool way to end everything

Oh yeah, it's worth specifying Fabulous human sculpture is... Human... Sculpting

Yeah it's nice and all destroying sand castles, but that gets boring because it's easy. Building a sand castle in the face of the ocean is far more fun in its own futile way

Hobbits are the worst, Dorfs are better in every way

Agreed. Hobbits basically have no reason to exist in anything outside of LotR. Hobbits were heroes in LotR specifically because they were unambitious and thus had resistance against the Ring. That was their only upside. Having hobbits in games like dnd makes no damn sense. They're small, weak, and the lore literally says they prefer chilling at home or maybe sightseeing, not fighting zombies all day erry day for the $$$.

Dwarves, on the other hand, are strong, tough, iron willed, and make bitching wargear.
