Adepta Sororitas vs Tyranids (different player)

75 - 15

A very fun game! I was playing with someone who I’ve talked to a bit at the local game store a good bit but hadn’t had the he chance to play yet! She is newer to playing and had mostly spent time 3d printing and painting. Her nids were very cool and the ones that have been painted in a Metroid inspired theme!

I kinda felt bad it was such a sweep because she was a great opponent, but maybe I just need to get over my imposter syndrome. 😅

Next Sunday morning I’ll be playing Necrons, so look out for an update! I expect a wild game, because we both just get to resurrect our characters!

Also id love to thank my friend @saltineboii for getting me back on the 40k Tumblr and supporting my battle reports!

I know they control the Ordo Tempestus, but I'm thinking more like a vast army of tanks that look like filing cabinets and stapler-shaped heavy bolters and so on. Power-armoured battle scriveners covered in requisition permit purity seals going on Rectification Crusades to forcibly make reality match with their records.

40k is an exercise in showing HOW the far-right sees the world. It is holding up this example and going "isn't this ridiculous? Isn't this just an absolutely fucking bonkers way of looking at the world?"

Like, the Imperium of Man is a failed state. It is a tangled mess of incompetent bureaucrats wrapped in so much fearmongering and religious dogma that it can lo longer competently do ANYTHING other than make war, and even THAT it can't do competently.

I do think you're right though that modern 40k doesn't present the imperium critically enough.

I think the solution would be to make the satire, y'know, funny? There was a recent story during the 4th tyrannic war where the ecclesiarchal forces on a planet REFUSED to accept that the tyranids were invading their planet and executed anybody who said they were as a heretic. The emperor would never allow such a thing. Even while they were waist-deep in termagant jaws they cried that the whole invasion was fake news. THAT's the kind of shit we need novels about.

Like, present space marines the way the Fallout show presented the Brotherhood of Steel. They paint themselves as the invulnerable defenders of the wasteland, but in reality are just an abusive cult comprised of dumb assholes with lots of toy guns.

The return of Guilliman was... an attempt at this. But the problem is that even the imperium of Guilliman's time was fundamentally broken.

I like the concept of a silly “retcon” (which is not what female Custodians are) actually being the work of Tzeentch. But… guys please pick literally anything else, I’m begging!
