Cruor Angelus by MajesticChicken

So, After weeks of doodling around many army options and likes I ended up where I started, with Blood Angels.

When I first started with Warhammer, I liked the IG, and I even started working on em and for some months I was thrilled and even today, I deeply enjoy how on the grim darkness of the far future they are the closes as simple humans, I can understand em.

But then, (and for this I blame all the SM propaganda) I started to like the Power Armored fellas, back then I didn't knew nor was fond about any Chapter, so I started looking on what seemed the most heavily armored units, which lead me to terminators, subsequently Deathwing and Logan Wolfs, but what really got me was the SpaceHulk board game, I loved those Blood Angel terminators, so I decided to go the aesthetic path.

So back then I em went Blood Angel based on the looks, and tho it was a superficial pick, now as a more mature player I find it was right.

Moral of the story, Trust your Instincts.

Deathwatch RPG

So, after 1 weak I finally received my pre-order promo skins for Space Marine, it was a big hassle but finally i got my Iron Warrior and Emperor Son's Armour pack, nor that I cared much about em anyway :D

Aside from that as I was talking about Dark Heresy RPG, now I'll take on "Deathwatch" another RPG from the same producers:

This time we take our Power Armour and bolters, and play as SpaceMarines, but not any space marine, but from the not-so-secret Secret Chapter "Deathwatch". This group, nor a chapter per-se gathers some of the best brothers of the Imperium, to fight alongside the Inquisition, specifically the Ordo Xenos.

On this Mix-up of chapters, every brother has to fit themselves with diferent and even oposing ideologies, Space wolfs, and Dark angels, side to side, or Blood angel and ultramarine desciding wich is the best tactic, it all makes facing the Xenos a more complex thing this time.

about the mechanics of the game, it follows the same engine as Dark Heresy, and its even compatible, Obviously its on a different scale level, as we are now fighting Hordes and even Carnifex'es which is awesome!

As usual, any interest on this, beep me.

Space Marine First Impressions (by Talty)

As you can see Oka has been in a bit of Space Marine frenzy, and me too (sort of) because of all the time we spend together. I thought I would give you my impressions of the Space Marine game from the point of view of an Ork lover.

First, the obvious complain: I WANT TO PLAY AS AN ORK. No Ultramarine, no Blood Raven, no Chaos Marine. ORK ORK ORK ORK. I want to run around yelling "WAAAGH!" and ground those damned "Spaice Marines" with my Big Choppa to pink mist, like they do to my beloved Orks. The multiplayer would benefit so much from adding Orks to the playable characters.

Now that I got that out of my system I'm also a bit disappointed with the representation of the Orks in the campaign mode. I don't like their voices, they sound too human to me and they don't have nearly as many "ughs!" and "aghs!" as they should. Ork zpelin' iz verrrry diztinktyv, and they should have reflected that in the way the Orks talk (or well, yell). I demand more growling!!!

Second, it's also disappointing that the Orks are so... cloned? All the Boyz look pretty much the same, even the Nobz are identical! Fluff-wise, I can't see that happening. I can't imagine the Orks deciding to dress all the same and picking a color scheme. And I know I'm being a bit picky about it, but I don't care! Orks should be Orks!

So well those are my first impressions. I loved a few scenes of the Orks fighting each other or doing Ork stuff. I'll keep cheering for them while Oka plays! GO ORKS!!

Space Marine First Impresions

So, finally the Gamestore got the copies of the game, SHAMEFULLY they didnt respected the pre-order add-ons, even tho I did not wanted the CSM skins It supposedly included, Its blasphemy! They shall be Purged!

Anyway, moving on. The main Campaign its awesome, 9/10 (Im taking 1 point, because Im a fanboy) the story seems quite on track, the visual effects are topnoch, but what makes it so great is the feeling of the 40k universe.

About the multiplayer, well, I tried to get on a game for a couple of hrs yesterday with no luck, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but was actually a turn off. Latter that night on my home I was able to join after 20mins waiting, and let me tell you, It worth the wait!

As soon as I got in, it was awesome-sauce! As any other game you have to get the hold of it, and for the first rounds i was sucking, even tho i was having a blast, but not so much latter and after trying the Assault Marine, I was leveling and finishing 2nd.

Anyway, for today, I`ve been trying to get in a game, no luck so far. I hope it gets better on the next days,but for now thats it.

Spaice Marines!

So, as many other fanboys, I preordered The new SpaceMarine videogame. The thing was that the lame store I preordered it, didnt recived em yet! So here I am calling em waiting to get my copy.

BTW as soon i get it, ill be looking for people to play online!

If that worked for something, at least made me write something :D
