Eh.. AoS has some damn good looking stuff, and I can't argue about that.

I guess Daemons needed an anti-grey knight thing, seeing as grey knights have an anti-daemon thing.

Seems like crunch interfering in fluff again though.

Does UA have multiplayer anymore? Wasnt able to make that work for the last year

It should have, but it can be wonky at times. But I haven't played it in a while (waiting for the next big update), so it's possible things got borked up in the meantime. You gotta make absolutely sure all players have the same mod versions, and even then you can get in-match desyncs at times (which can be hilarious if you don't immediately realize it happened. "How do you mean I'm not building anything? You're the one doing nothing!")

Grey knights actually being kinda bad against deamons isn't a new thing, iirc? I seem to remember in some previous edition, they had to give them certain weaknesses against deamons to balance them out against their unique strengths, ironically making them weaker against chaos than a standard faction.

Finally! If the Fluff doesn't give an explanation for Khornate Knights, the Crunch does! They killed the sisters Cus they actually suck at killing Daemons

Also, I really wanna see a fight between Doomrider and Kaldor Drhaigo. They'd both be just popping in and out of the warp randomly to stab each other mid-fight and occasionally taking breaks to snort various narcotic substances

Uh, if I recall grey knights have never had weaknesses against daemons.
At their weakest, daemons were possibly the only thing they could kill, due to their “retool hits and wounds” force weapons and whatnot.

The anti-daemon psychic powers are a bit more nebulous, but frankly all psychic powers in 8th (along with chapter tactics) are super bland and get repeated very often.

How come vampires and necromancers aren't corrupted by Chaos? Dhar is central to them and Dhar is Chaos.

Too tired to explain in full, but Dhar not necessarily chaos, just raw undiluted warp. Also they don’t do Dhar directly they use shyish as tongs basically

I think chaos find live things far more tasty and some other stuff. Think how Tomb Kings RECYCLED IN SPACEEEE (Necrons) are anathema to chaos. In 40k is them not having souls. On FB I don't know but may be something similar.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Even knowing that was a hybrid of live-action and animation, that's goddamn insane. How do you even make something like that as a small team? This CG is on the level of a major film release!

I somehow feel that eschewing action in favour of tension really did it.
The blending was amazing, though the CGI looked a little DoW. Unreal engine does that I guess

Overall more stuff is more better.

The only thing I have to ask about it is, aren't Blood Ravens a fleet-based chapter ever since Aurelia got sucked into the Warp? That would mean their fortress monastery would be on a Battle Barge(the Lexicanum puts it on the BB Omnis Arcanum), not a planet.
