Open Day Heresy Goodies

The NL contemptor is nice.  I have no idea what the heck is up with the RG one, and the IW dread does look Orkified.  Really, tubing and conduits go inside the armor if you don't mind, plus the hazard stripes on the right knee shouldn't be molded into the resin.  And, while we're at it, they probably shouldn't even be there.  The IW being so utilitarian that the only thing like decoration they have are hazard markings on their equipment is not even remotely the same as slapping hazard markings randomly on models because it looks good as decoration.  

^^ Especially since this is 28K years in the future, I doubt the present culture's...uh, culture, will have much of an impact.  They are more distant to us than we are from Ancient Egypt...

 

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I am really meh about these.  I was really looking forward to how they would portray these particular contemptors and I feel like they phoned these in.  The IW looks stupid, to me.  Almost looks like an ork got ahold of one and went to town.  The NL looks like what everyone has been converting already, but not as inventive.  I was REALLY expecting more out of this one.  The RG?  Just meh.  Though I do think it will look better painted up. 

 

I really like the DG contemptor.  It has the look and feel of that legion.  The SoH, to me, is really nice and fits with that legion.  The EC is appropriately decadent.  The WE, a little meh, but less so than these.  The IH is a bigger meh.  I dig the Salamander's.  It looks like a Fire Drake writ large.

 

Just my two cents.

Because why would they use Polynesian designs if they're not even relevant to both the Terrans and the Lycaeans?

Why do people from Georgia, USA get Samoan tribals? And again, what does where one specific group of Terran Raven Guard have to do with "That has to be Carcharadon because they're from Polynesia!"?

 

And if the tattoos are Lycaean, then they're not Polynesian; they're Lycaean.

 

Cultures shift and migrate. Somewhere in the next twenty eight thousand years, the Middle East "-istan" region develops tech-nomads. A change in culture.

 

So to better rephrase my question, why does being Polynesian automatically make Carcharadon and what does one specific group of Terran Raven Guard being from the southwest corner of Asia have to do with them being Polynesian, assuming that they are Polynesian in 30K?

I agree with Kol on this, who's to say that Polynesian genes (or any human genes for that matter from any people from any region) hasn't spread to all corners of our plant in the next 28,000 years, not to mention other planets in the galaxy during the Dark Age of Technology.

 

I find it very hard to believe that in 28,000 years people wont intermix especially when we have Psykers in 30k/40k lore that has been quoted time and time again as humanities next step in evolution.

Believe me there's more Maoris and tongans in Australia now then new zealend (the migration has begun)

 

:P

 

But I kid

In all honesty I think there's more Australians in Indonesia now but we don't say Australians are only in Australia, they're everywhere travelling drinking and populating the globe

Seriously, culture will spread faster and further then "genes" ever can. Mostly because "genes" have diddly to do with cultural heritage and everything to do with how we look. That's it.

 

And I thought Chardocans were the remnant of the predation fleets from the RG? Please tell me I'm right cause its about the coolest thing I've heard in ages.

 

Re. Australia; its time we acknowledged we are the largest pacific island and also part of SE Asia.

No we aren't we are the training grounds for the future imperium, leave us and our flora and fauna to spawn a death world worthy of the name!

 

 

Mwahahahaha!!!

Heck, it doesn't even have to be the genes, just buts and pieces of the culture. There many Jews today who are not descended from the ethnicity that was once recognized as being "Hebrew".

 

But the culture has spread to all four corners of the globe.

 

That's all that has to happen. Someone who got Polynesian tats because they were drunk marries into a significant tribe. He/She industrializes the tribe into a ruling power. Eventually, someone copies the tats because they're cool. More gollow. Eventually it changes from a form of idolizing someone who made life better into a cultural habit. And just like that, cultural transference.

It doesn't even have to be culturally descended. All it takes is one revival, of art, architecture, whatever, to spark off a movement that can come to define an era or locality.

 

Alternatively, humanity has a tendency to name things off of existing things. We live in a solar system that is almost exclusively named after gods of a dead pantheon. There is a moon out there with a Mount Doom. That tendency clearly extended outward and kept on going strong. Look at Fenris, Baal, Armageddon, and so many others. In Fenris, we see a culture develop remarkably similar to that which the world is named after. Did the Vikings settle this world? No. So the culture (re)developed independently.

 

So who is to say that an arbitrary connection to past cultures, such as a world being given a name connected to but otherwise utterly independent of a long dead society, isn't enough to inspire development along similar lines over time?

 

Seriously, culture will spread faster and further then "genes" ever can. Mostly because "genes" have diddly to do with cultural heritage and everything to do with how we look. That's it.

Haha just ask Alan Bligh, Massacre had the Night Lords recruited from subterranean (Down under) Prisons (Colony) :P

Sorry but NL are too crafty for our people were more like the XIIth or XVIIIth legions blunt and more likely to grind ourselves down.

 

Not like them fancy pants IF or IW

Dont forget Blood Angels.... aweful lot of red sand and venomus creatures around here (purely from a location point of view, not our peoples hardiness ;) )

I will agree on that point my good sir.

 

Now I'm torn between continuing my blood angels or diverting to yet another legion project

 

 

Damn it!

Actually, when you consider our military history, we could provide some quality operatives for the XXth. Z Special Unit, anyone? Yes, I am aware that it wasn't just Aussies, but still....

 

OT: I like the dreads, in theory, but the NL is the only one that really grabs me so far. Very keen to see them painted.

Going on our history though we could be space wolves getting misguided information and going for casualties above all

 

Edit: I'm a bit bitchy from man flu and too much anime

But the things those girls do with tentacles /swoon

Oh wait wrong genre of anime dry.png >_> uhhhh......

DISTRACTION CAR-[REDACTED] SAVE ME!

But, while I am fine with anime I'm more in the manga side of things - Its just Japanese/Asian comic books at that point tongue.png

On Topic-ish? : At least you Aussies can draw easier links to some Legions, I'm Canadian and since our whole thing is just being viewed as the "good guys who say sorry, eh?", I can't even draw the flimsiest link to a Legion - Beyond a personal one that is tongue.png

Also looks like we'll have to wait till Friday for more FW release goodness; even though IA4 went on sale - not even pre-order- today, since there hasn't been much more HH news out of the Open Day (they have to keep some surprises right?).

Anime is the devil's plaything. Repent, and thou shalt be saved! :P

No, seriously, stop watching Anime, for humanities sake.

But but but

It's guilty crown and the opening is so catchy

(When the nails bite I swear that's the noise they make)

It's also why I'm falling behind my ETL vow :/

And why I'm starting to think up ideas for an inquisitorial force

Too much snow and cold here not enough fire and molten death :p maybe if there was a chapter that was a fusion of space wolves and salamanders - good guys who are cold all the damn time (although this summer is decently hot, though nothing on the level of Australia... Still convinced your continent/country is trying to kill you all :p )
