daveNYC Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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.

Fire Golem Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The IW one looks like it was repaired in a rush mid siege though, which is cool with me.

Komrk Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Because why would they use Polynesian designs if they're not even relevant to both the Terrans and the Lycaeans?

Piano_Sam Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ^^ 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.

Kol Saresk Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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?

The Red Thirst Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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.

Emperors Immortals Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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.

Kol Saresk Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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.

Conn Eremon Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 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?
