Nagatamarines Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've only been here (as in warhammer 40k in general) for a few days and I can already see everyone just likes chaos space marines because of the "I iz ebil!" kind of thing....And then nobody collects the normal space marines because they're good guys, -.-. Anyway, for you guys that have been waiting on progress for my custom chapter, check out my profile pic, that's how they're gonna look. I probably will be able to afford them by saturday, and since its summer, I'll be able to post some pics whenever I'm done. If this is in the wrong forum section, I really don't care! I iz ebil lololololololololololololol. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204895-royal-enforcers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome! I've only been here (as in warhammer 40k in general) for a few days and I can already see everyone just likes chaos space marines because of the "I iz ebil!" kind of thing....That is certainly not the case. Most Chaos players like their armies because of the background material as well as how many Chaos Legions/Renegades aren't run-of-the-mill marines. Many tales concerning them are downright tragic. And then nobody collects the normal space marines because they're good guys.Also not true, check with your local GW as to which boxes sell the most. Anyway, for you guys that have been waiting on progress for my custom chapter, check out my profile pic, that's how they're gonna look.They look nice. I'm not entirely sold on the black backpack but the rest works well. If this is in the wrong forum section, I really don't care!You should care, no one likes spam! :rolleyes: I iz ebil lololololololololololololol. No chat or "leet" speak;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204895-royal-enforcers/#findComment-2443523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagatamarines Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 If I manage to get my hands on some space marines this weekend, I'll post pics in another thread, so watch out for them. I'm using ultramarine parts and having a different color scheme so it looks like a different chapter, which i explained in another thread.

Allerka Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can assure you that Loyalist Space Marines are VASTLY more popular than their Chaos counterparts. Space Marines have always been the most popular army in this hobby since its inception in 1987. Everyone has their preferences for either side, as Brother Nihm said, many like their fluff and the more tragic aspects to some of them. Me, I have armies on both sides of the fence with plenty of detailed background for each. I can definitely understand the appeal of both sides, but the Loyalists are still a lot more popular overall with the community.

Rymeer Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can definitely understand the appeal of both sides, but the Loyalists are still a lot more popular overall with the community. Which, is why none of the Black Crusades have amounted to much over all. The Loyalists out-number the others. Also, to the original poster: My army is Loyalist, codex standard space marines... even though I've gone the route of doing my own chapter. See links below.

Rain Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice, but waaaay too many vehicles...I like fast attack and long range armies with a few bikes and plenty of snipers and space marines ;). Don't take this the wrong way, but you will probably lose a lot if you play good players with such a list. Vanilla fast attack is actually quite good, but only because of how good multimeltas on a fast vehicles/bikes are against the "waaaay too many vehicles" that your opponent will probably field. Maybe I'm just biased because my first army ever was Dark Eldar, but mobility wins games. If you can get your units to where you want them while denying your opponent the ability to do the same, you will win unless the dice gods really decide to turn on you, and an army without vehicles has a hard time of that.

Zarg Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The reason we like them is because who doesn't like spikes. Also space marines are to boring for us to do.

Jakobus Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think it really comes down to the local scene, I have noted that some places are strong on certain armies. I have played in groups where more people play Space Wolves than any other army. The same goes for Vanilla Marines, Chaos, Orks and Eldar.

I always found Chaos to be the true evil, and the Dark Eldar more "evil by necessity" since they do everything they do to feed Slaanesh and themselves due to not having waystones like regular Eldar. Though granted, I'm sure more than a few of them enjoy what they do perhaps a bit too much...

Though granted, I'm sure more than a few of them enjoy what they do perhaps a bit too much... That's kind of missing the point though, Dark Eldar, or more properly the Eldar that would become Dark Eldar, created Slaanesh. All of the wonderfully wholesome things that Slaanesh does and stands for were inspired by the Dark Eldar. Even now, while yes, DE feed Slaanesh to keep it away from eating them, they also feed on souls to prolong their own lives, as well as engaging in torture as a passtime, and creating a society in which murder is the only way to climb the social ladder. At least Chaos Marines were at one point "good" and some still fight for their own sense of honor or justice, DE fight purely for temporary self-aggrandizement and have no long term goal or crusade. Anyway, this is getting off topic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204895-royal-enforcers/#findComment-2444173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWinds Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 When I saw the title for this thread I assumed it was going to be a complaint about the 15 bajillion different types of loyalist marines that are all quirky for whatever reason. We are marine wolves! We are vampire marines! We are secret marines! We are the knights templars... marines!! We are yellow marines, and don't you dare call us yellow bellied! But its a complaint that there are to many chaos marines. Thats sad... Chaos use to be the second best selling army(1st is and has always been space marines). Those were the good days with the good codex. Now we are no where near the second best selling army, and ACTUALLY a lot of the old chaos vets have left the forums. There are less chaos players than their use to be. If any army has to many players compared to other armies its loyalist space marines... especially the uncommon ones. I agree, there is a lack of 'normal' marines, but its not a chaos problem. Its a secretive vampire, wolves, we should have a marine twilight movie with the knights templars running around problem.
