Warhammer 40k vs Dungeons and Dragons

[Scurrybt]

While I prefer the Dungeons and Dragons board game, I’m team Warhammer 40k.

never played 40k but i do like the figurines.
i love painting the chaos space marines, its so satisfying.
have several of them without ever playing a single game

What colour are you painting my legionnaire's? Black is Ok but I hate the pink of Slaanesh.

dark red and black of course. i love very gothic colors

I like both, but if I have to pick one for preference it's 40K.

Blood Bowl I love.

The figurines are cool!

They're overpriced, but that's where 3D printers come in.

Beh. War 40K is written for 12 to 15 yo edgelords. The only sane faction to pick is the Orks, because they dont consider anything serious in this absolutely unserious universe. I'm on the angry Marines fan-made chapter, because its even MORE unserious. And since i've seen the artwork of a Merheen with "your ass here" on written on his fist and "your face here" on his boot is just ... delicious and delectable.

D&D is ... well, D&D.



D'you know about Shadowrun ? The lore compendium of this franchise is huge too. One can easily pass 3-4 days of reading online chronologies, events, descriptions ... the same as for SCP when i stumbled upon it : two days of "what is that, how deep the rabbit hole goes ?".

40K or shadowrun : wich is longer/bigger ? I'd say 40K, but i'm no expert in either.

The one thing they have in common is that both Warhammer and Shadowrun have two main settings. Warhammer has Fantasy and 40k, Shadowrun has Earthdawn and Shadowrun. Earthdawn being the end result of the Scourge attacking during peak magic, which they do every World.

Warhammer has more books and video games though. It also has an absolute ton of plagiarism accusations that have teeth, which makes Games Workshops actions in recent years kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ironic. Shadowrun and by extension Earthdawn on the other hand don't have nearly as many official books and video games, but there are still some Shadowrun MUDs out there.

I know Awakened Worlds ♥♥♥♥ the bed and shut down in recent years, much like HellMOO did last year, but I also know that much like how HellMOO has at least a couple shards still active that there was at least an effort to bring back Awakened Worlds. Course, not everyone likes MUDs, MUCKs, MUSHes and MOOs and this tangent is as irrelevant as Warhammer+.

Also
>D&D is … well D&D.

Technically speaking there's multiple settings, much like how World of Darkness has multiple splats but most people just fixate on Vampire: The Masquerade. Keyboard that I'm about to yeet out the window and into traffic due to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ shift key nonwithstanding, you've got…

• Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk, prototypical fantasy settings.
  
• Dark Sun, post-apocalyptic dark fantasy.
  
• Ravenloft, horror fantasy.
  
• Spelljammer, science fantasy and the only thing that Buck Rogers heiress ♥♥♥♥♥ who killed TSR ever did right in her entire life.
  
• Krynn, the mistake of God.
  
• Red Steel, which I remember someone mentioning at one point.
  
• Hollow Earth, which there was like one video game for.
  
• Ebberon, also known as Indiana Jones and the Local Game Store.
  
• I'm not going to dignify the Magic: The Gathering crossover because it's ♥♥♥♥.
  
• Countless homebrew settings.

I may be forgetting at least one or two. And you could technically count Chainmail as a setting given that's what led to Dungeons and Dragons becoming a thing to begin with as that particular wargame came first.

Granted by extension you could count Warhammer Fantasy as it's one of the IPs that Games Workshop plagiarized, but then again their propaganda division is like the Austrians during the peak of the wine poisoning scandal in that they're as persuasive as they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ incompetent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in dire need of a handler. Doesn't mean that Warhammer is bad, just means that Games Workshop at the very least understood that they shouldn't make something on par with Racial Holy War.

That is a thing by the way, and is the end result of some fundamentalists with no creativity nor love for role-playing games making one. Florida is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird.

I need to get back into DnD sometime...

I lost all interest when WotC removed alignment and all racial modifiers from the game.

I prefer 2nd/3rd Ed 40k Epic and Rolemaster.

Good taste!

I've played both tabletop as a kid. DnD is FAR more varied and creative. 40K is pure fighting, all tactics, not so with DnD which requires guile and craftiness.

That said, I still like the brutality of the 40K universe.

Also, RIP Cadia.

Finally, here's a recipe for everyone

Awesome, as you can see if you look at my profile, they are my favourite colors too. I even painted some thousand sons in red and black, I didn't own any blue paint when I started and couldn't be bothered to go to the shop.

40k + Shadowrun.

D&D eh. Not my beer 🍺

Eldars ftw we're gonna repopulate Milky Way xD 🌌

Red and black are such cool colors for the units!
