First multiplayer game I ever had hours of fun on. Too bad it's largely dead.

Wanna be a space wolf? Play WH40k Sanctus Reach, I'm sure you've heard already its about Space Wolves.

Didn't know you could mod the character model for Space Marine. Will hopefully try that out someday.

>Is it because there are few 40k shooters ?

Its a 40k game that's not awful.

>there will never be a 40k EDF clone

Why live?

Anon, its been a long while since that, what chapter are you on?

>>15169477

Anon, there are melee specialist in the guard, aswell as melee sentinels, ogryns and bullgryns.

>>15169513

I wonder if that scowl is merely a byproduct of their training or if they have a dedicated boot camp for looking like Dredd 24/7.

>>15169483

Well sure, you could get good at doing it the wrong way.

>>15169531

I think they try to compete for who can achieve the largest angle with their mouths. That fucker in pic 2 is pushing 85 degrees, easy.

>>15169477

>hold the line

>most of the time means no tactical retreats, elastic defense and envelopments

it depends of the writter but i hate when warhammer 40K does grimmdark for the sake of grimmdark, if an entire company is lost holding the line then it's a mayor loss as it is on real warfare, no matter the manpower since you can replace them inmediatly, deploying forces consumes time and if entire companies are destroyed because of honor and grimmdark just means that the enemy will gain ground faster, even the stubborn japs understod what was a planned retreat and also the soviets officers understod that the no step back order meant wasting staff and supplies that could be used in the offensive.

TL;DR: Commisars might not be popular whit the commanding officers

Elysian Drop trooper game when?

Dark Void or Anthem

Anon, you can call it grimdark for the sake of grimdark, but it does make sense from an in-universe perspective. There is one single resource that the Imperium of Man has in abundance: manpower.

>i hate when warhammer 40K does grimmdark for the sake of grimmdark

I can't stand when people pretend it's anything else. It's the one main thing that separates it from every other military scifi, if you take it out it becomes interchangeable with a number of other settings that would probably be more suited for that.

>>15169433

Dont get me wrong it could be a lot better. Its got a bunch of things I actually usually hate but they are done well enough that that it becomes fun.

>Gears-esque combat but the enemies are agressive enough that you're never just hiding behind cover

>character movements feel weighty like you'd expect from an 8-foot tall behemoth

>executions mechanics, but since its your only way to heal it forces you to get close to the enemy rather than playing like a bitch

>Executions are quick and satisfying enough that you dont get tired of seeing them over and over except that one chainsword animation

>heavy melee has actual weight and momentum to it

>Overall decent sound design that makes boltors satisfying to use

Thats why Im sad to see its not getting a sequel. For all its faults, it had a lot good going for it and Space Marine 2 had potential for ironing out the bad and capitalizing on the good.

>>15169433

Its a really mediocre 3rd person shooter with a 40k license

Pretty much the only reason anyone gives a shit about it is the 40k license even though its wasted on this turd.

>>15169433

its a fun shooter set in the 40k universe, and this was a bit before games workshop started letting anything and anyone use the license. I just like it for the gore and fighting, really makes you feel like a space marine in 40k.

The last boss being a QTE was inexcusable though, especially when they already had a good boss fight a bit earlier against the ork warboss.

Manpower has to be trained, equiped and deployed, you cant telepor your manpower to the frontline instantly and if the Imperium used their manpower superiority in battles then you would see more ancirclements just by the capacity of supporting a larger front than the enemy can, also if you say it's just because of manpower and battles are only human waves the the Imperial Guard is just a petty militia force.

>>15171096

then grimmdark will get dull, warhammer 40K is one of the few scifi universes where the military lore makes sense (because it's form a tabletop war game), in warhammer 40K armour and anti.armour elements, ablative armour, officers, air superiority, etc. unlike universes like Star Wars where tanks have legs and blasters perform worse than ballistic weapons. Just adding grimmdark above the thinks that makes the universe be believable is a mistake (believable doesnt mean realism but hiw one can inmerse into the plot)

Space marine had mods?

>>15173342

>the propaganda of the guard is all about them dying glorously in valiant charges that win the day for the emperor

sometimes works and sometimes dont, still these actions is what separates a militia from a professional army.

>>15173359

Loads of them.
