        I hear Ork players tend to benefit from a more jovial win or lose disposition as Orks kind of either crush it or fall apart depending on their luck.

          I recently learned to embrace that brand of Orkiness.

          Bucket of dice, zero hits? It’s not bullshit, it’s fucking hilarious. Because it’s more fun that way.

          The actual problem for me is the Green Tide. In order to do Orks well, you need to replace the local atmosphere with orks and grots. That’s a lot of painting, and I hate tedious busy work. Sure, you can field a bunch of killa kanz instead, but that’s a huge point sink and in order to get an effective army you need at least nine of them plus at least 3 deff dreds and a bunch of mekboyz that all look the same. Unfortunately most of the other armies are a bit more fun to paint.

    You see, the god-emperor had to sit on the Golden Throne to keep the Astronomican lit so the Imperium’s warships wouldn’t be permanently lost in the warp…

        What’s interesting about that is that it’s basically confirmed female Space Marines are canon. TTS was allowed to stay so long as it didn’t touch the lore. The fact that Alfabusa got sent a C&D basically confirmed he was touching the lore.

          I’m not sure that logic follows, but the logic against it has always been “The Emperor chose not to do it and the incels will REEEE too hard if Cawl decides otherwise”

      Right? I think there’s a whole series of ‘workplace harassment comics’ to be made out of this.

      Don’t: not be henry cavill

      “Hey, want to come over and play a table top war game?”

      “Ew no loser, ugh, sexual harassment!”

      Do: Be henry cavill

      “Hi, I’m Henry Cavill. Want to come over and play a table top war game?”

      “oh the lore is deep so many fascinating factions and player agency in customization!”
