Why does the primaris feel a lot less… bulky than firstborn ?

So I’m gonna preface this saying I was introduced to Warhammer about 2 years ago with the DOW games and Astartes short film. When I started playing SM2 it always bothered me how slim the marines looked.

Now they are still bulky, but they seem less… square shaped ? I can see that GW tries to give the primaris a more “Tacticool” look than the firstborns, but they apparently didn’t change the proportions of the primaris, wich means they should retain that bulky aspect.

However, it’s not the case, for me at least. I think it’s a bit disappointing, as it lessens their “literal mobile tank” aspect, instead focusing on the “super soldier” side, ultimately stripping away their unique look.

What do yall think ?

I did not care for gumigoo

Even skipped a bit of the second episode cuz I was bored

Edit : I see a lot of ppl LOVING that character and what he represents, and I just had to say it because honestly for me he’s forgettable at best.

Little question : go from ultramarines to blood ravens

So a while back I bought the ultimate starter pack wich gave you a space marine and tyranid combat patrol. At first I painted them as ultramarines because I was a newbie, lol. But since then I’ve devoured Dow and want to repaint them as blood ravens.

Can anyone help me with a painting guide/color scheme and where I can find those heraldry prints for them ? GW doesn’t seem to have much interest in them, as they aren’t part of first founding or black templars.

Also, do they play differently on tabletop ? I never had the occasion to play as sm, I just wanted to know if some rules changed

Install FOK on definitive edition ?

So recently I’ve tried to install the Firestorm over Kronos/Kaurava mod for Dawn of War Definitbe edition. Despite my best effort of going through every single susceptible file (DXP2/DXP3 and even the app data thing) the files are in ther but the option to switch to it isn’t shown in the “mods” tab of the main menu.

I know the mod has been a bit abandoned for a long time but I’d love to play it on DE, anyone knows how to do it ? Or is it just not compatible with DE ?

Where did the pieces of the Avatar of Khain go once in the hands of the Blood Ravens ? (DOW DK)

So while waiting for Dow 4 I’m replaying Dark Crusade as everyone’s favorite red Space marines. I just beat the Eldar stronghold and I noticed, at the ending screen, the mention of the Avatar of Khain, that you beat in the mission.

It says that once the avatar was beaten and turned into stone fragments, these fragments were kept by the blood ravens librarian for study. It then mentions that it would cause them “no little trouble” (wich I assume means a shit ton of trouble).

My question is : what happened to them ? To my knowledge it never was brought back again in Dow 2 and it’s chaos expansion (I didn’t really play SS and Retribution…). Did it just became a lost plot point for some obscure title who will never come out ? Or will it be important in DoW 4 ?

Please I’m going crazy over the fact that I can’t find anything about it.

Thats not how a headband works !

So recently ive got into a rabbit hole of TW3 mods, and one thing has been extremely bothering me : the headband mods.

In the books Geralt is described as having one to restrain his hair so they dont get in the way when he fights, and a lot of book-accurate modlists have a headband mod at some point.

HOWEVER, im deeply certain the ones who did these mods never wore a headband in theyre entire life, because placed as they are they would be useless, and just massively uncomfortable, and the fact that every single one of the headband mods do this mistake is just crazy imo.

P.S. : I dont intend to denigrate any modder or theyre work, im glad of having such a big modding library on that game and such awesome mods, i jus had to rant about it somewhere. Va fail : )

Planning on doing a Geralt - The Witcher 1 "Classic" Cosplay

So as the title suggests, im starting a Geralt of Rivia Cosplay. Im trying to replicate his look in Manticore or "Classic" Armor from the Witcher 1.

I wanted to ask here if anybody new where i could find gambesons such as photo 3 for a good price, same as his swords. Im also planning to find clouted gauntlets and other accessories such as belts and pouches too so if anybody got some known adress let me know.

Over it i woud like to put a cape, like he has in the opening sequence of TW3, but im not sure if its really compatible with the swords.

Thank you all for any replies !

Witcher 2 mods to make it more book-friendly ?

Hello, as the title suggest, im looking for mods on the witcher 2 that makes the game closer to the book series.

One of my biggest gripe are the ultra short potions time (with the whole "you gotta sit down to drink them" 5 minutes are really short in my opinion) And the two swords in the back (not trying to replace entirely the silver sword, just maybe make it so the silver and steel sword occupy the same slot ?)

Its kind of a shot in the dark in my opinion because the majority of the modding community is on the witcher 3 but i'll try anyway.

Thank you in advance for any recommandations !

Ive been replaying Skyrim’s AE these last days and… I love it. The game is really still majestic. I modded it lightly to give it a more medevial aesthetic and I’m having a lot of fun, but one thing is bothering me : the abnormal amount of player homes. Im not even level 20 and I already got a farm, a mansion in the mountains and a cave-like manor. I find it kinda frustrating, because they are all equally cool and nice in their own ways, but the fact there are so much kinda desacralizes the whole point of having a home for me.

I’m tired of ppl saying that and then just showing up the most basic slender/melted/blobby mass of gore or the typical Cthulhu representation. I mean, these are literally concepts that I can envision and that could make sense physiologically.

I’d love to see more representation for truly strange and terrifying concepts. For example imagine the largest room possible. Now imagine a creature bigger than that room. Or the spiral of junji Ito. Or even just abstract monsters, like humanoids lookalikes that are made purely of skin. No bone, muscle or fat. Just skin.

What do you think ?
