What would you choose to be the next 40k's main faction?

You are an employee at GW, your boss who never played, read, make minies of 40K in his life enter your office and say:

"Hey, so I saw a post on X who said than people had enough of the imperium now and it got like... 60K likes, so I guess than that mean we should stop to have the imperium and space marines guys as the main faction, so... you know this stuff right? Ok cool, I let you choose what will be the next new main faction, ok I've a golf to do, bye!"

So now your job is to choose what will be 40k's next main faction, you'll have no gmae deasign or lore writting or artistic opinion to say about it, you can only choose a faction and that’s it.

This faction will get the same attention than the imperium currently has and it will trickle down to it’s sub factions. 1nd the Imperium will now get the same attention than this faction currently recieve.

So for example if you pick the Eldar:

The imperium will get only rarely new models from now on, and when it happen it will be mainly the space marines. And once every thousand years when the stars align you'll get some Mechanicus, sister of battle and Astra militarum.

The Asuryani will get the attention given to space marines

Ynnari will get the Ultra-marines treatment with a lot of named characters, books, video games etc...

And the Drukari and Exodite will get the attention normally reserved for the Mechanicus, sisters of battle and Astra militarum.

Also the univers story will be written with them as the main characters.

So yeah no pressure! In of one decision the futur of 40k might get changed, you could make your favorit faction finally get the attention you think they deserves but you might get something more like "quantity over quality", reducing the global quality of this faction you love so much... plus all the hate you might recieve from people seeing you as "the person who ruined 40k".

But if you don’t take your decision your boss will do it, and you know you can’t trust him with that!

Hope it’s clear and I can’t wait to see what people will say.

Strawman 3

The concept  to use a picture who use obvious strawman and replace those strawman by LITTERAL strawman and make the scene as ridiculously fake to point than they just leave in a fantasy.

Anyway I hope you'll like it!

(Also here the other works from the series strawman : First and second)

I'm also open to suggestions for the next strawman

Anti-Witty, a thought exercise

# Let’s make things clear, I hate Witty and don’t think she's good for art or the LGBT Community in any shape or form!!!

This out of the way let me explain this concept, we all know and hare Witty, pros AI with the worst arguments imaginable. Trying to get in her side the LGBT community on her side.

But one day I had a dream where I was visited by Anti-Witty, an alternative version of her, who instead to try to use the trans community to advantage the pro-ai, she used ai to express her support of the trans community. I won't lie my memories are kinda foggy of this dream, except her appearance and some details like her equivalent of the "Anti" are the "Phobic" who include rascist, sexist, homophobe, transphobes... I don't have a lot of memories of this dream. Which made a lot of sens since she is Trans.

But this idea of Anti-Witty using ai for good kinda stayed with me. I'm think than generative ai in the art domain and its over usage in the world of technology is a BIG mistake, of course well used and with limits it's a great tool (you know the song).

But I wanted to test myself, what if I used her same obnoxious way to argue but give it a cause I support? How would it affect me? Would I agree with her? disagree? Am I an hypocrit for criticizing her childishness when I would encourage it was about something I support? so I tried it, taking picture she had generated with her cause and editting them to be something anti-witty would have done. To see how I would react to it!

# Btw don't hesitate to describe how it make you feel when you watch those, I'm very curious. :3

(the first image is how she looked like in my dream, the rest is me applying a negative collor effect on her comics and changing some details)

My final deduction after all this work?

Well first :

# HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I had to go threw her profile for so long... seeing only boring as hell anime boy and girls deasign... horrible bad faith arguments... when it's not horny, it's vulgar, when it's not vulgar it taste like aire, but aire you would have suck out anything from micro life and water!!! Fuck... I need to watch Dungeon Meshi after that to put back a bit of joy and imagination in my system...

Second, it's impressive how easy it is to turn her comics into pro-lgbt arguments... I really feel like she has miss her profession. I tried to make them sound as stupid than the original, but it WAS IMPOSSIBLE!!! it's like she had stolen some lgbt comics and pass them threw ai or something...

and yeah some are a bit dumb, but at least they make more sens!

This girl is driving me crazy! I start to think she is too scared to fight for trans people so she fight for AI.

Honestly I think she just traped herself in this postion, a bit like complotist and extremist group works, basically they are pretty isolated in their life, found a community who accept them, but make them also hateful toward others wich isolate even more outside of this group and at the end they have to play the bit harder and harder to be a part of it, and everyone become more and more extremist because of it... so their reject of artist and love for AI become almost caricatural. That's how you got group of people who still think the hearth is flat today.

I really hope she will get out of it, but that's not my job to help her, only her can do it.

personnally I don't want to see her stupid black body with green eyes before a good week, or month... I'll just block her to never see one of her uninspired anime deasing...

instead I'll watch some good anime like Dungeon Meshi!

thank you for your attention and I hope you'll have a great day.

PS: about Anti-Witty, I don't think I'll ever draw her again, she would be more made to defend the trans community which would be incredibly hypocrite for me to do as a cisgender male... if you want to take her deasign... go for it but I'll advise against it, it would just give Witty more ammo to criticize artists, I can already see it "anti say we have no inspiration but they stole from us!", not worth it, the better things to do is to no longer give her any attention until she is attention starve and is forced to move to something else.

# HO!!! ONE LAST THING! DON'T HARRASS HER IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I hate harrasment more than anything else, and let's be honest, she want that to continue her prestration of being a victim.

Thank you in advance.

I might... got carried away...

On a post complaining about how "anti are pro-terrorist for detroying data centers" by an... our green X girl.

And I got ragebaited, yes I'm weak, I'll admit it.

But I think my rent resume pretty well what Witty is (if you forgot the spelling msitakes, sorry I'm dyslexic and French)

Hope it fit well on this community, if not I'll delete this post.

Thank you in advance and have a good day!

I... might got overcarried

On a post complaining about how "anti are pro-terrorist for detroying data centers" by an... unpopular person I've got ragebaited and just spill all I thought about her, please if you know who that is don’t harrass her, I hate harrasment more than anything and would hate to be the cause of any (even if I doubt I've enough influenc eofr that but better prepared than sorry). And please don’t go add anything to my comments, I genueilly think than Aiwars is a mistake it was a mistake for me to engage with, better let it starve of innatention than to feed it. If you have something to say about it, better go on anti-ai servers like this one.

Thank you very much and good day to all

A card game made for my grandma!

This arenthe character than I made for a classic card game for my grandma, it was a good training to work on character deasigns

Also fuck all those pro-ai who say "but ai is good for handicaped people!". Because I have :

- Dyspraxia who make me clumsy in everyday life including drawing

- ADHD who make me impatient and hard to focus

- burn out because I had to work hard all my life with those and the other handicaps I had who are not relevant here!

And yet I'm still drawing! It’s not always easy, some time I take a break from it for severa weeks or even month but I still do it.

Also tried AI when I was younger, was never satisfying, you have almost no decision in the creation and the result is always so generic (except when it’s an unformed abomination). So yeah fuck you for trying to take us in your arguments.

And I'm not even somoene who is like "yeah you must suffer threw life" quite the opposite! It’s good to find ways to make life easier.

I just say in artistic creation AI just don’t work.

Do Comodo's venomc really do something like that?

In Beast stars a series who tend to take insparation in real life biology, and in one episode you 1hve a Comodo dragon who use it’s venom to weaken CONCRETE, so is it inspired by something real?!

I mean of course I know than if it is real it wouldn’t be that powerful, but even the idea than a venom can weaken concrete is just... so hard to imagine...

So please could someone explain it to me?

Thank you in advance

I hate the fact than movies feel obligated to add romance to its story

I hate than in movies they feel obligated to add romance, don’t getme wrong, when it’s well done a romance is always welcome, but a lot of time it feel forced in a story who don’t need it!

In the bsst of case the female character is the reward for another character for doing the right thing. Like "great this secondary character has acted selflessly, now the girl who he liked love him back!" Or in the worst case a character who did some harrasment or worse get the girl to love him for some reason! Like in "Anne and Andy" where the pirate kidnap a doll but the doll boss girl her way out the situation taking from him his ship and crue! But then they get save and suddenly she turn back into a nice doll and fell in love for the captain for some reasons?!

Plus it take time to do, time who could have been used to develop the main plot or the characters!

Why does it happen so regularly? Is their some untold Hollywood rule who say than ypu must put a romance in your movies?!

Well to be faire I feel like it become less common, I see it less and less in modern movies... but in the same time... it probably because I don’t go to see movies a lot now.

Is Xenos corruption really a threat?

I've seen in "Warboss of Warboss" Black Templars burn perfectly working buildings just because they had been used by people manipulated by orks... so is corruption by Xenos a real danger?

I know their is Genestealers but you don’t become a genestealer cultist by using their weaponery or buildings. Their is also xenos artifact like the Halo device who make you imortal but also insane but this don’t come from any living xenos race.

From my actual knowledge fo 40k I feel like it is just pure hatred of the xenos but also a way to control masses and make sure they don’t leave the imperium more than a rule made to protect them. Like for the T’au who use soft power to sway masses, so make using their tech a crime is limiting their presence.

But also a way to stay on the good grace of the machine cult who only know and accept human's tech (at least officiallyl

I'm just curious to know what people more knowlegeable than me have to say on it.

PS: I don’t think it’s true but wouldn’t be hillarious than if the imperium was to suddenly authorize xenos tech, 70% of their actual tech would be replace by Xenos because it’s just better XD

Is it me or...

I mean... this mysterious villain use starshape powers for some reasons and then the special anniversary classic tom put a new "thing" who use a lot of starshape?

Okay to be honest their is only the starshape who link them, our mysterious villain show no ability to control plants or absorbe energy, it’s way more... "horror beyond my comprehension" I just find weird the presence of it.

I don’t think it’s the meteorit exactly but maybe something related to it? Like they are part of a race/organisation of alien behings who devour planets? I don’t know but I'm curious to know what are your hypothesis?

PS: wouldn’t be hilarious if it was the meteorit controling some kind of robot body... so when Sonic saw it face it was just the meteorit

An interesting point of comparaison between the imerium of Man and the T’au

(Sorry for my grammar, I'm dyslexic and french)

I've been watching Moon channel on Youtube, in particular those two video :

1- Kawaii: Anime, Porpaganda, and Soft Power Politics

2- Ka-Chow: America, Propaganda, and the Illusion of Soft Power

They are both fascinating video than I recommend even if the first is 2h30 min and the second 3h long.

But basically the first talk about how Japan managed to have the greateast soft power and the second how America used its hard power to forced the illusion of a strong soft power.

For those who don’t know :

Soft power : the use of a country's cultural and economic influence to persuade other countries to do something, rather than the use of military power.

Hard power: the use of a country's military power to persuade other countries to do something, rather than the use of cultural or economic influence.

So in the first video he explained than japan despite it’s lack of military has managed threw media (light novels, manga, anime...) to become a very popular country, I mean I'm french and I heard some insane rascist things coming from old fréch people and medias on japan, but now? Everyone in France love japan and almost see it on the paradise on earth! With great places, people, food... all that mostly thznks to japanish medias!

Where the second video explained than unlike Japan america prefer to use hard power to control other countries, then propaganda and soft power come to soften the image of the conflict, like "we didn’t invade this country because they didn’t want to give us their oil, we did it because they were tyarnic savages, trust us bros, we are the good guys..." or "what?! Nooooo... they didn’t join us because we have destroyed 1/3 of their populated area! They come because they love democratie and the american way!".

And I think you see where I'm going, where the Imperium of mankind is similar to the United states with it’s very offensive way to convert planets to their causes and then spread propaganda and religion to pretend than it was the most good and righteous thing to do...

The T’au use mostly soft power, a T’au "invasion" is very slow and violence is avoided most of the time. Where they first offer trades and cultural exchanges to show the T’au superiority, making the life conditions better! Only if then the planet still resist they will start a military invasion.

I think it’s kinda interesting to note, in particular when it's obvious than the T’au are inspired by mecha from japanish anime.

I mean I feel like I'm stating an obvious truth than everyone knew except me, but... I hope it will spark interesting conversation in the comments.
