DogWelder Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 You guys seem fairly confident that the loyalists will win lol. Most of the Ultramarine players I know are panicking quite a bit. One of my friends moved all her college classes up to July so she can dedicate all of August to scoring points for the loyalists with her Guilliman/Primaris models.

Unless GW goes to extreme lengths to fudge the numbers, Chaos can't possibly win. The numbers are definitely tilted in the Imperium's favor, but according to this it's not just Nurgle CSM, and xenos players can disrupt either side as they see fit.

Calyptra Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 [xenos players can disrupt either side as they see fit. But they have nothing to gain, so I'm not sure why they'd bother.

Spinsanity Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The Tau do, for one. Disrupting the UM/Imperium could significantly lessen the stress they face from then on..

Iron Father Ferrum Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It really depends on how the xenos players look at it. Can their (sub)faction "win" the campaign? No, no they can't. In which case, why bother? Does the player care enough about the game's story to try to tilt things either for or against Chaos or the Imperium? If no, see above. If yes, they can swing the results. If I was planning on playing my Eldar, for example, then yes I would want to participate because story-wise from the view of the Eldar, defeating Chaos is very important. But I'm not, I'm going Chaotic for this one.

Garreck Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 xenos players can disrupt either side as they see fit. But they have nothing to gain, so I'm not sure why they'd bother. None of us really have anything to "gain." An Imperium victory is almost assured, and it's doubtful a victory for Chaos would result in any meaningful benefit to Chaos players beyond bragging rights. Unless you're talking fluff-wise, in which case I believe it's demonstrably untrue that certain factions would feel they have nothing to gain or lose in the outcome of an Imperium vs Chaos conflict. It's just some added context to play in. Added motivation to finish up some units that have been sitting on the shelf. A means to participate with the global gaming community if you're so inclined. I suppose if one is already involved in a juicy campaign with a local club this campaign has little appeal, but it sounds like good fun otherwise.

Allart01 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 So, the loyalists are going to get a proper Codex with deeper rules, relics, commands etc just in time for the campaign. What chance! Totally unplanned! :P Just like the first painting challenge of the campaign being "paint a Start Collecting: Space Marines". GW hasn't already picked a winner. Nuh-uh. Well, it doesn't matter. Konor will burn. Your corpse-Emperor and your zombie-Primarch will not save you. civsmitty, the jeske, Plaguecaster and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333992-summer-campaign-fate-of-konor/page/6/#findComment-4809355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yeah I expect for the imperium to easily win. A ton of new models, more updated model range overall, more fleshed out rules. Opposed to that Chaos has ancient models on the marine range and the Deathguard release about a month or so later. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333992-summer-campaign-fate-of-konor/page/6/#findComment-4826173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 You're probably right about the sales, Ishagu, but I've arranged with my local GW to count everything I purchase/build/paint towards the Chaos tally, and have been encouraging others to do the same. Big Bobby G has been rescuing everyone everywhere in the new fluff, even the Blood Angels and their successors at Baal, and it's about time he came down a peg, IMHO. I say this as a staunch loyalist - The Imperium's been due for a big loss for a while, and it's beyond time it actually happened. ~Drakzilla~, Doctor Perils, dansupvi and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333992-summer-campaign-fate-of-konor/page/6/#findComment-4826176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFingers Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The putrid warbands of the Death Guard, led by the Daemon Primarch Mortarion, have launched a furious assault upon the Ultramarines’ stellar empire. A lot of telling, but an increasingly frustrating lack of showing.

the jeske Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 But we already know that chaos lost ? In the fluff, because I don't think people hope for a nurgle[sub faction of all chaos] winning vs whole empire[ with a new codex for marines]. I don't understand events like this, or the one AoS had, are they ment for painters to show off or something?

DogWelder Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I just hope that everyone follows the rules and plays fair. Regardless of what you think about the narrative/story, falsifying victories for either faction would be pretty rotten no matter who does it.

civsmitty Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm probably playing my Orks instead of my Alphas. I tend to lean toward the cynical, with Chaos already predetermined to lose (isn't the GK codex next up?). I'll fight whomever, and report the battle appropriately. I'm not in this to win. I'm in it for the WAAAAAGH. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333992-summer-campaign-fate-of-konor/page/6/#findComment-4826259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the only Ultramarines player I met who's so calm about this. Most of the ones I know on fan sites are in full blown panic over this and a lot of them are complaining that GW might destroy a major world of Ultramar just for the sake of a player event.
