I find warmachine is a more Grim dark setting than 40k has been for years. I think one thing in a lot of media with a dark and realistic theme, is that the audience says they want it.īut really doesn’t want it, 40k seems to be getting the best response when it drops it’s grim dark for more power fantasy. In addition, there is a serious argument to be made that no matter what the tone of 40k "should" be, GW has been fast approaching a solution which no one wants, which could be an interesting discussion in and of itself. Therefore, I want to ask: What should the 40k setting try to achieve, tone-wise, and why? Should it be a super-serious sci-fi war story, or a satirical and (dare I say it) politically-oriented depiction of humanity's future? Or is the fun of 40k just watching the big armor men fight with the angry green guys?
We often talk about how 40k should be or how it was better or worse in the past, but a lot of our ideas may be coming from entirely different ideas of what the tone of the setting should be. This idea is, in my opinion, a major point of difference between a lot of 40k fans, and deserves a thread of its own. Which some people might not care about, but nerds are generally alienated by. All the death!!! Also Guilliman is my spirit animal."įilling in gaps is always difficult, because you potentially fill them in with something lame. Seriously grim." and "Grimdark but isn't this awesome? Who doesn't like death everywhere.
Which could arguably be tied up with the tonal differences of "Grimdark but its ironic and funny", "Grimdark but VERY SERIOUS and grim. Tyel wrote: I think its clear the fanbase (or online obsessives anyway) are divided on where they want the fluff to be or go.
