Would have even provided some lore rationale for why most games of 40k are Imperium vs Imperium. It was such an obvious direction to go, but I guess the suits decided that it wasn't as safe as going Marvel instead.

Except Logan Grimnar. Or Creed. Or Macharius.

'Good' and 'right' are necessary elements of any dystopian setting. Black on black does not make a picture..


None of these characters effectively ran the Imperium though, which is a very important distinction. Anything they wanted to achieve was on the other side of the crushing vastness of the uncaring, hostile galaxy. They were comparatively minuscule actors in the grand stage of the 40k galaxy. Even if they led massive armies of millions, even those were incapable of steering the Imperium in any true direction. Those limitations of scale, indeed made their relative "goodness" stand out in an appropriate way that added depth to the overall tone and feel of 40k.

Roboute, by contrast, is figuratively cleaning house and making gak happen.

Since when is doing the right thing more grimdark than a rotten compromise?

Which, as far as I can tell, led us to... the exact same Imperium we had before.

Again, hope, good intentions and a drive towards betterment are important elements of any dystopia. They only run counter to the themes of the setting if they're effective, which Guiliman's actions don't seem to be.

Abandoning trillions to suffer under the Imperium wouldn't have been "right." It might have been necessary to do any good at all, but it wouldn't have been noble. THAT would've been the true "rotten compromise." Therein lies the grimdark.

In the current story, he got his cake and is eating it too.

Very much so!
No one is forcing anyone to buy/use them. Vahl is a horrible model along with the rest of the suits, so not gonna buy them no matter how OP they are.
As for centerpiece models not gonna use them in any game smaller than 3k. But I have no problem with others wanting to use them.
they're excellent models but on the "normal" tabletop, hell no.

Who plays the triumph and Celestine in a 2k game? Are the gonna add Vahl now as well? Seems weird to me...

I've said it before, but I think fundamentally, GW's problem re: 40k is one of cowardice. They lack the conviction to properly follow through on any of their ideas because they're terrified of losing what they have. The madcap creativity of Age of Sigmar, as much as I dislike many of the results, was only possible because they had nothing to lose, and after destroying the old game, had no sacred cows left to preserve. They were free to create armies like Idoneth and Kharadron without being afraid of how the current fanbases would like them because the Dark Elves and Dwarves sales were already circling the drain.

40k today is too old to rock and roll, but too young to die. It's too old and set in its ways to foster creativity from the studio, but much too commercially successful to suffer sales-wise. I expect the current state of affairs will continue for at least the next 5ish years or so. Maybe 12th edition will be the big watershed moment?

A dark interpretation of Guilliman's return is that even his return is not sufficient to change things on the grand scale. Guilliman is running around the galaxy putting out fires, but is he really making any difference in the grand scale? Does he have an endgame beyond beating back the latest Chaos or alien incursion? Right now he is like a torch, shedding light wherever he goes, but the shadows of ignorance return whenever he leaves. Institutional inertia is a powerful thing and I could see it returning things to the old status quo as he never seems to stay still in one place long enough to enact long term reform. We see in the novels of his return examples of him shelving/delaying long term goals like revising/rationalizing the calendar system in favor of the short term goal of the next campaign.

Which is why a Sister High Lord running around on a battlefield may actually be a bad thing for Guilliman's goals because it's one less politically active support in a position to keep the inertial forces of the other Imperial institutions at bay. Sure she may not be a malleable pawn in the hands of the Ecclesiarch but I don't see her battlefield antics as really threatening the old status quo either.

I disagree. Honestly, I think the 2nd-4th edition rulebooks have more atmosphere dripping off a single lore page than most BL books manage to achieve. They are, after all, what defined the setting. BL is supplemental and always has been.

3rd was pretty barebones honestly, and 9th is emulating that level of detail. I agree 2nd was good, but I have no opinion on 4th as I never played it.

But no, codexes can't go in depth as much as even a single novel can. Much less a series of novels.

I suppose you're right in that the quality of the rulebooks/codices is subjective, but I think what's more important is that they are the primary storytelling medium of the 40k setting. As such they are miles ahead of BL when analyzing the story, tone, and themes of 40k.

This is what I am talking about re: Guilliman having changed the Imperium story from being about a fundamentally terrible organization dying a slow and ultimately deserved death to instead a story about Making the Imperium Great Again. Whether MIGA actually succeeds isn't the issue, it's that it's moved the story in a fundamentally different direction because for MIGA to make any sense, the Imperium has to have been great originally...and that's a big change that fundamentally reorients who the good and bad guys are. Now the Imperium isn't so much irredeemably bad as just a victim of bad stewardship; this is a more typical good guys vs bad guys story.

One of the interesting things about old 40k is that it wasn't a good guys vs bad guys story. Guilliman's appointment as the de facto leader of the Imperium makes the 40k story a much more standard one.

I think this actually proves his point re: not being willing to really shake things up. Messing up a few homeworlds doesn't actually do anything for the bigger narrative. Destroying two founding chapters? Now that would have been a big deal - but it will also never happen, because of commercial imperatives - squatting the squats made people mad, but it'd be nothing compared to the fury if they squatted the Blood Angels. But messing up their homeworld a bit? Sure, that's totally consequence free, it literally has no impact on anything at all.

The Imperium was “great”, as in powerful, which is different from saying it was good. Guilliman is also under no illusions about being loved by the Emperor as the novels clearly show that he realized from his audience that he had never been anything more than a tool. He also starts to have the tiniest sliver of doubt about the Emperor’s non-divinity after seeing an apparent example of the Emperor’s power being channeled through a young psyker girl to banish daemons.

However he still fights on because of his beliefs that the Imperium could be made better, and that the alternative for humanity of a shattered Inperium being swamped by threats would be worse. I don’t see his push for a saner Inperium as suddenly making the Imperium morally good anymore than the realm of Ultramar is morally good. A secular imperialistic dictatorship that tramples its people in the name of an abstract ideal of humanity vs a religious imperialistic dictatorship that tramples its people and demands worship for its carrion god. Both can be viewed as morally bad, just in different ways. One could also disagree with Guilliman’s decision as he is ultimately prolonging the Imperium, and that maybe it would actually have been better for him to have let it die off and instead attempted any revival of humanity starting from Ultramar. Guilliman may be making the classic mistake of trying to defend everything.

Also the storyline has moved forward in 40k pretty much since the beginning with about a 1:1 year rate correspondence in the 1990’s. That is what allowed for character stories and deaths like Tycho to occur. The timeline freeze in the final days of 999.M40 in the early 2000’s was actually a change from what happened before, and grew increasingly problematic as not every faction has the timeline space for retroactive insertion of material into the past. Story progression does not necessarily translate to setting destruction.

...yes. Yes it does.

There is no 'win state' for 40k. The war continues, no matter what, otherwise there isn't a setting, story OR game.

40k numbers are made of pure nonsense. There are still however many Cadians there need to be (and even if there aren't there are still X billion guardsmen that are exactly the same as Cadians).
Losing half the galaxy has not mattered, let alone the Space Woofs homeworld.

I really don't think Guilliman coming back to help the Imperium defeats the purpose of a grimdark setting. Guilliman certainly isn't happy to be back.

"Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fires of Horus' ambition than live to see this."

Guilliman's return is counterbalanced by the galaxy literally being cut in half by a warp storm. Primaris, although stronger, aren't wiping out xenos or changing the setting in any notable way. The biggest thing they did was to prevent certain chapters from being wiped out; Lamenters, Blood Angels, Scythes of the Emperor, etc.

Again, this is exactly what I'm highlighting: they've retconned the Imperium's past into something glorious and heroic that needs to be restored. The Imperium has always been a bloated, rotting carcass of oppression - at least until they retconned that by bringing Guilliman back and had him proclaim that the bad old days were actually the good old days and the problem is just the corrupt deep state.

I mean, since when was the Imperium driven by reason? The Emperor was a ruthless despot who showed terrible judgment both in matters of administration and of character, flanked by a bunch of violent man-children whose only greater talent than killing was getting into pointless fights with one another, who wiped out multiple other human civilizations that were more fair, more equal, and less xenophobic. The Imperium was founded on fear, hate and ignorance.

Yeah, Guilliman is probably just nostalgic. The Imperium wasn't great at the start, but it's so much worse now. The Emperor isn't around to guide them and now he's being worshipped like a god. The Emp also can't even pretend to be human or at least behave like one; Guilliman equates his return to the Emp finding a tool he thought he lost. I don't think it's a retcon. Guilliman was optimistic during the GC. He hoped to eventually retire. But now, there's only war.

Guilliman is sidelined for most of HH, and I think the reason for that is precisely because the writers didn't know what to do with him because he's not very interesting and his uncomplicated heroism doesn't fit the setting well except as a foil for everyone else.

Having one guy be the foil for all the other terribleness just about works (as long as you don't give him too much stage time). It doesn't really work when you appoint him leader of the whole Imperium, that changes the tone quite dramatically. We've never before had an uncomplicatedly heroic figure right as the boss of the whole show, except the effectively offscreen cleanup role he had after the end of HH. And that's why they've had to go down the MIGA vs the deep state path, with all that implies re: whether the Imperium is fundamentally flawed or just flawed in the execution.

Guilliman has a place in a grimdark story, but that place is not as the boss.

Your example would matter more if it wasn't for the fact that Blood Angels have been 100% squatted and no one did care.
Right now if you play something that isn't a primaris blood angel, you are playing a "what if" scenario or a scenario from before the actual timeline.
The blood angels have been all slaughtered to the last man. Out of all the blood angels AND all the secondary chapters, only a few dozens survived.
The sarcophagi were destroyed.
Nothing is left of the black company.

Fluff wise blood angels have been completely wiped.

Dante was then given command of a bunch of primaris marines which came from the same geneseed, but apart from that and the name there is nothing in them that is "blood angels".

So there you have it. Major faction squatted. Or do you really want GW to also enforce all blood angel miniatures into legends or it doesn't feel squatted enough to you? Because I think that many wouldn't agree with you if you proposed to invalidate a full range of miniatures for fluff reasons.

Your post reads like you're purporting to disagree with me, and yet it's actually illustrating my point. It's rather confusing. FWIW though I think your numbers are wrong, IIRC more like 300 survived, several thousand non-primaris were inducted immediately afterward, the death company wasn't totally destroyed, etc, though it doesn't really make any difference to the point.
