Fate of Konor: AND THE WINNER IS...!!

For somebody who hasn't been following the campaign at all, what did they manipulate?

At least one of the planets initially showed Imperial victory (with the icon, description and everything) until GW came out and said "actually, victory points were supposed to be calculated THIS way" and they changed it to a Chaos victory.

Funny thing is that Chaos would have easily won the last round. GW have been reallocating Imp wins from the previous round to the current one to shore up their momentum. Can't say I 'm complaining though, being a Custodes player and all.

>hurt the non-imperium player base
Considering how many xenos characters were working against Chaos, I'm not sure how true that is.

It was he Horus Heresy novels that brought me to chaos. Loyalists are insufferable dicks.

>"B-Buh muh Chaos is invincible and destined to win everything forever."
Carnac BTFO

Once puberty hits, all those pre-teens will taste the edge and flock to Chaos naturally.

Loyalists were written to be unreasonable and insufferable so that Chaos might have some justification other than "we're evil and sold our souls"

The first planets were aggregated score from the 3 regions
Chaos won planet 4 due to plague releases but obviously they messed up the timings in releasing them too late
So planet 5 they were losing aggregate and this showed on the main map but were slightly ahead in 1 zone and draw in another. The automatic ending script put is imperial win with imperial win fluff in the zones
Then suddenly the fluff changed to chaos win
People complained and Facebook statement was that wins are based on regions won (bollocks since the main display was always clearly aggregate not simple Thirds)
Then with this final week they started as zones won but uk and eu were pretty solid imperial with only USA chaos (and they gave the USA zone special fluff so they could turn a USA win for chaos into meaning the other zones didn't count)
So they quietly switched back to aggregate and kept going beyond the time limit
But since USA chaos players tend to be Trumpcunts living in Texas and Florida they failed

>But since USA chaos players tend to be Trumpcunts living in Texas and Florida they failed
It's more than just that. At my local GW store the Xenos (read: 95% Orks) came in 2nd in terms of total victory points gained after the Imperium, and before Chaos. The Ork players were divided, some were anti-Imperium (one Ork guy was pulling the weight for two of Chaos' victories in the store for 4 weeks before he stopped caring because regular Chaos players couldn't get their shit together), others were firmly anti-Chaos, and I played took points from both sides like a proppa' Freeboota git. It feels like Chaos forgot that the Loebos section lasted more than one week, and it cost them big time.

It wasn't just Texas and Florida that were being hit by Mother Nature, by the by. the Pacific Northwest/Montana has had rampant forest fires for the last couple months.

Considering they've been teasing the release of a new Primarch recently (not Morty, another one), I'd assume the next step in the plot will be Rowboat taking the fight to the Death Guard's little foothold in the Ultramar region to kill him/push him out of Ultramar for good.

That or they're going to finally tell us that the Lion was secretly a traitor all along, but he's just been too much of a coward to come out and admit it for the last 10,000 years.

American chaos players seem to love losing so they can whine about things being fixed

>American chaos players seem to love losing so they can whine about things being fixed
Given how GW screwed over Chaos by ending the Eye of Terror campaign two weeks ahead of schedule and declaring a stalemate back in the day (a campaign they were winning handily at the time), can you blame Chaos players for being so salty about this sort of thing? GW already burned the old guard of Chaos players once with company interference in a player-driven campaign, so their cynicism toward this campaign (especially since the Death Guard just got their codex AFTER Konor ends) is justifiable.

t. Ork Freeboota since back in 3e.

Suck a moldy dick you chaos faggots!

This is pretty fair, I mean, just how many Xenos factions even have reason to give their wins to Chaos, unless maybe directly fighting Imperials (and even then)?
Eldar(and their alternatives)? They fucking hate Chaos.
Necrons? They don't brook with Chaos.
T'au? It's a stretch to side them with Chaos
Nids? Could go either way.
Orkz? As above.
So Chaos are pretty much in it by themselves.

That's the problem with being omnicidal maniacs with no appeal

Well they've drank the Chaos kool-aid for 10/11k years so they're shadows of their former selves.

>But since USA chaos players tend to be Trumpcunts living in Texas and Florida they failed
Should we rename Hurricane Irma into The Storm of the Emperor's Displeasure?

I find most of the Chaos Lords of Fantasy more interesting that the 40K ones.

>The Imperium by a score of 4 to 2!
Noice.
Fuck Chaos scum.

Fuck off with your politics BS

There kind of borng as afaction, all edge and no substance

when were you when chaos lost?

i was sat at home wanking over matt ward when G-man ring

‘Chaos is kill’

‘no’

>But since USA chaos players tend to be Trumpcunts living in Texas and Florida they failed

>Implying Hillaryshills would play the ugh, racist and un-progressive Imperium full of fucking white males

They exist as villans, with no real motivation other then antaganizing the imperium

I think they play holier than thou xenos like Tau

Well for one, maybe actually release something besides Space Marines and only Space Marines for starters

Last game of the campaign

I honestly felt bad for the kid playing orks. He was tabled on the second turn from a 15 death company and lemartes list

Add hormones to the water so boys hit puberty and become edgy faster

They would definitely play Tau. The whole progressive mindset is based on bashing your own group and declaring some other group superior. In other words, doing the opposite of what bigots do in order to claim complete superiority. Seriously, you see it at every level: Contempt for their own country (especially colonies like the US, Canada, and Australia), for white people (especially among whites, for whom white guilt has advanced to the point of suicidal thoughts), for men (especially among progressive men), for the West, and for humanity in general. It's so fashionable and trendy it's actually sickening.

>Abaddon and the Bringers of Despair took part for a single engagement as part of a deal with Mortarian to keep his support in other theaters of war.
>It consisted of a brutal invasion that ravaged most of Lobeos.
>Along the way Abaddon was able to procure many relics but eventually attracted the attention of the Grey Knights and was driven off.

Xenos players don't count. GW's made it clear that their kind ain't welcome around these here parts.

>So, how is GW going to deal with this in regards to advancing the plot?
Well if ADB or Laurie is writing it (though I think Laurie's already left for now), then we're soon going to find out that Chaos was only trying to pretend to win the Konor sector, but that they've actually succeeded in completing some super secret never before mentioned objective that means that Chaos actually overwhelmingly won even though it looks like they lost.

Ha! Take that, Imperial dogs!

>studio and finance side force imperial narrative nonstop by releasing only space marine Imperials
>as a result of things being hilariously one sided, black library authors compensate by skewing to the complete opposite

BL wouldn't be so bad if the Imperium were reighned in every once and a while

It's hard, because Chaos is pretty much designed to be villains where most of them are driven by bitterness or greed. It's not a attractive faction for most players.
I mean, we have some warbands/legions with better ideas, but in general they're just a edgy faction

No, ADB has massive daddy issues and hates the Emperor because his pa didn't love him so obviously no father can. Chaos would be wanked even harder if GW didn't demand more Marines.

What needs to happen is it takes a back seat for a while as it reels from its losses and other foes step forward.

>Laurie leaves
>Novels get better almost overnight
>The GOAT 40k writer returns with one of the 40k best series of all time

Are you really trying to say that the traitor Primarchs hating the emperor as a shitty dad is bad? It's believable as shit and the scenario has happened hundreds of times in human history

Fuck off Chaos, you're just bitter you lost.

It is bad because they were all of them fully grown men before the emperor found them, and on top of that they're demigod superhumans who should be above and beyond such petty nonsense.

I'm trying to say "Chaos is all-powerful and unaffected by anything and automatically wins forever because reasons" is stupid, as is "the Emperor never cared about anyone he's evil but Horus also Abaddon is the bestest and highest chosen of the gods but also a totally self-made man with a daemon sword more powerful than the Emperor that doesn't just immediately eat his soul because he's *that* good".

>Are you really trying to say that the traitor Primarchs hating the emperor as a shitty dad is bad?
Yes, Aaron, it's bad because it gets boring really fast. These guys hate dad so much they ruined their lives and got space magic AIDS just to exclaim 'Take that daddy!'. It's pathetic and pitiful.

>They were fully grown men
You don't suddenly become experienced and wise when you get older user. The majority of people on the earth make childish decisions. Being fully grown doesn't have anything to do with it.

Don't forget the whole. "Chaos guys are just misunderstood! They really do feel bad about murdering billions of innocent people and condemning their souls to eternal torment but the big bad ol' emperor is the REAL bad guy!"

You do if you want to become the leader of a planet.
Which most of them did.

>TFW the baby-eating space terrorist who routinely tortures people to death for the lulz complains the Emperor is evil and he must fight him

Most traitor primarchs never really wanted to be chaos slaves.
Angron became a DP through Lorgar "magic", Magnus was tricked by Tzeentch, Mortarion was to weak to resist Nurgle's "gifts", Fulgrim was corrupted by his sword. Curze hated Chaos and Alpharius thought he was on the right side.
I think that only Horus can be really counted as having daddy issues, and Lorgar the only one that took chaos to the heart

CHAOSFAGS
ON
SUICIDE
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCHHH

On chaos spawn watch*

Corrected that for you

Jaghatai Khan disliked the Emperor on a personal level, and his best friends were Horus and Magnus. He just didn't care about his personal opinions because he felt that the Emperor's goal of elevating humanity was much more important than his feelings about his supposed family.

This is because Jaghatai is an adult.

>Roboute becomes disillusioned with the Emperor and the Imperium in Dark Imperium
>Yet he never becomes disillusioned with humanity and continues fighting to make things better instead of whining about it and wallowing in negativity and how he'd been wronged.

Loyalists confirmed for best, and most based.

There has to be a "The Virgin Traitor / The Chad Loyalist" meme image kicking around somewhere

Make it user. Step up to the plate

Not gonna be back on my PC for a few hours yet

Do this campaign, guys! You get points for painting new things! Btw, here is a constant stream of releases for all you space Marine players and t- what? No shut up chaos players. And here's a new Codex for your Marines an- christ, shut up death guard. Anyway, here's the the chaos Codex, but wait here the grey knights Codex with a bunch of new stuff for you grey knights players you can convert! God. No you still don't have anything new, chaos shut the fuck up already. Anyways, here's another Marine release. Oh damn. Looks like imperials won the campaign. Oh well. Here's Deathguard Codex with a single kit release, but don't worry imperials, we have another Marines release, too.

Wew

You see, this line of thought would make sense if GW didn't literally change he results of week five and also added a caveat to week six that would let chaos win the whole damn campaign wit ONE territory controlled

Anything that makes Chaosfags cry makes my day.

How anyone can say Chaos got BTFO is beyond me. This wasn't even a remotely fair campaign

Hmmm delicious faggy chaos tears. I hope you never get another campaign so we don't have to deal with your bullshit crying.

Yeah. Especially week five where GW changed a chaos win to imperium and set up week six so that the imperium only had to win in their strongest region to win the entire campaign
Oh wait

they were doing that as a scrambling panic because they stupidly didn't realize how horribly they fucked it up, so they tried to add tension only to make it even more botched

If GW makes another campaign, I hope they keep chaos players out of it. Bunch of whiners and cry babies;

I feel like the idea of a united humanity appeals to liberals myself included. DESU chaos works better as freedom fighters than generic we sold our souls to demons so we are ebil bad guys.

Is this what conservatories think? Christ you are dumb and brain washed if you think all liberals are like that.

> New campaign Orks vs Eldars
> But don't worry, other factions can contribute!

>Only two candidates were a socialist and a stronk-womyn with a criminal record that parroted everything the socialist said

Orks vs Nids could actually work since everyone else has a vested interest in making sure they both lose as much as possible.

ITS NOT FAIR! Imperium always fucking wins EVERYTHING and chaos losses everything. Thanks for nothing you xenofags.

> Xenos players areessentially the reason that Chaos didn't get completely stomped
> It's their fault Chaos couldn't win
Step up to the plate a little more next time so my Kaballites don't have to drag you around kicking and screaming to victory.

>I feel like the idea of a united humanity appeals to liberals myself included
Since there are no aliens irl, the Imperium would be more like a ultranationalist nation with supremacist ideals.

>Constantly shits on xenos, calling them NPCs and lesser villains doomed to languish under the shadow of Chaos forever
>Surprised xenos don't want to help you
Eat shit Chaoscuck.

Awh yiss, Guardsman here, gonna side with Ynnari Bros because they hate Chaos more than me and because Yvraine is Guilliman's wife

Who is this goat writer and what's the new series? Looking for some novels to dive into.

Time to come to the aid of mai waifu!

Abnett finally releasing the next Gaunt's Ghosts, you fool.

CODEXED

guillliman plz

>Imperiumfags in this very thread are proud of their victory
Jesus Christ way to prove you're dickheads, that's like being proud of winning a boxing match in a 2v1 fashion while the crowd is blind and the ref is your best friend who you owe money to.
I'm not mad my team lost I predicted that as soon as it became obvious it was fixed back in week 2 and even when Chaos won those two planets and GW announced "last planet wins the system" I knew it was going to be an Imperium win.
I'm just disgusted by how proud you stupid fuckers are, how many Primaris marines did you idiots buy?

I have to help the Orks, I like the Eldar aesthetically but their souls belong to Slaanesh.

>I'm not mad my team lost

My lot managed to play every week, almost always Imperium vs Chaos (with the occasional ork interlopers). Chaos was getting pasted early on until I got some more stuff painted and the presence of options helped make games more even.

My dudes were Crimson Slaughter contributing to Morty's plans, while some relatively generic guard regiment took horrific casualties in pretty much every engagement but often managed to hold the line, with or without occasional space marine aid (a smattering of BTs, Crimson Fists and Dark Angels).

Orks regularly got wiped out with the exception of a counts-as Ghazkull, who tore everything apart and went down a total of one time, even then that was a contentious cocked dice incident involving a melta gun.

Another friend brought his Ad Mech and Knight over occasionally and generally had a good showing. Phosor laden Kastelans are mean as fuck, and forced Chaos to hide out of LoS. They were on the defensive that mission, however, so the Mechanicus had to get stuck in at close range.

Overall I really enjoyed it, and it gave me additional impetus to get stuff painted up. I do wish that the resulting fluff was more granular, rather than each planet being a total win/loss regardless of the exact balance of power and how each region turned out.

>tfw Chaos was devoured by Nids at my LGS, allowing the Imperium to win quite handily

Get with the lore, son.

Well I'm not, that'd be like rolling a dice and being mad it didn't get a six, or being upset when you get an average number of shots hit when you shoot.
You don't get upset because the result is expected.
I'm just disgusted by how proud Imperiumfags are of winning a rigged game.

...

Fuck Chaos players.

Nice Greater Daemon of Slaanesh.

Why does Fulgrim look like Griffith?
