I wanna play more Rogue Trader this weekend. I like that game.
Post your favorite Von Valancians, how do you like to roll through the Koronus Expanse. My first play through was as a Crime Lord with a heart of gold. I’m currently working on a Dogmatic Blade Dancer, gonna have like five Executioners in the team and do 50 million damage DoTs.
This was also how I did my first playthrough; Iconoclast Crime Lord Operative/Bounty Hunter with an emphasis on long range combat. It is definitely the one that synergizes with other characters' builds and politics the best. I only occasionally dabbled in dogmatic choices (sometimes blowing up a planet is the merciful choice), and never touched chaos even once. My Lord Captain von Valancius may not have been fond of the Imperium, but he sure as shit knew they were a lot better to deal with than the ruinous powers. The taint of chaos will never again sully the... complicated name of House von Valancius. Such is my legacy.
Thats to be expected when you write some of the factions as unknowable horrors beyond human ken. and then you need to codify their abilities into rules for a game with a d6 resolution.
A lot of the power powerful stuff is going to come from powers and phenomena on a scale that can't really fit into a tabletop skirmish or playable video game scale either. If we as humans were, say, standing on a planet that turned out to be one planet sized obese humanoid warp monstrosity, it might actually take a while to actually notice. The Rogue Trader video game having the ability to do cut scenes from the perspective of massive spaceships helped a lot with selling the scale of Warp stuff happening.
They both share the same excellent level of kubrik-esque creepiness and cosmic horror when it comes to visualising warp powers
I often find that in a lot of warhammer media the forces of chaos and the warp become quite rote, basically your standard ghouls and goblins cartoonish world of Warcraft kind of stuff, which can be fun! But it’s always cool when media shows a kind of Event Horizon true horror and dread depiction of the warp and psychic entities, like just nightmarish eldritch lovecraftian shit
And man they’re really building Titus into something
I mean it kind of makes sense from a branding perspective, to have a kind of “main character” to on-ramp newbies, but it’s interesting to see how much story they’re giving him and how unique he seems to be being framed as
SM 2 was my first time seeing him. I know he was also the protagonist in 1 but i don't know what other media he has been in. He was ok in SM 2, pretty much exactly what i expected a space marine to be. I was surprised at how much hate they were able to get me to feel towards Leandros in just a handful of interactions though. Dude is definitely going to get his comeuppance i think.

Oh, he was a massive tool in 1, so seeing him get smacked in 3 would be fun.

Watched the secret level with my wife, then she wanted to watch Astartes and the lady Custodes one.
Then, just last night, she pulled it the box of Space Marine Adventures I've never opened and asked if we could play this weekend and I caught her reading about Necrons.
I'm just quietly sitting in the corner trying not to fuck this up.
Happy Sanguinala or local Ecclesiarchy-approved stand-in traditional celebration.

Progress on my 3D printed Lasgun and Laspistol. Go to start the detailing next. Going to add an ammo count to that green box on the side like in Aliens. Going to use some offical IG decals on both here and there as appropriate. Next I'll start an IG chainsword I found.

These world make amazing shells for some custom nerf guns.

I'd love to see a version with Guilliman performing the full spoken word intro and outro from the original cut of the video
