Okay.

Hypothetical Question Time: "If HG Wells had a WH40K army, what would it be?"

according to the AI:

Apologies for the confusion. If we were to align H.G. Wells' WH40K army with an existing faction and regiment in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, it could be associated with the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) and the Death Korps of Krieg regiment.

The Death Korps of Krieg is a renowned regiment known for their grim determination, trench warfare tactics, and distinctive gas masks. They exhibit a somber and disciplined demeanor, reminiscent of the dark and serious tone often found in H.G. Wells' works.

This alignment would create a unique blend of Victorian-inspired aesthetics and the gritty, industrial feel of the Astra Militarum. The soldiers of the Wellsian Expeditionary Force would be equipped with advanced technology and weaponry, incorporating steampunk elements into their gear and vehicles.

They would be known for their expertise in digging trenches and fortifications, utilizing time-distortion shields and chronal weapons to create a formidable defensive line. The army would display a fusion of futuristic and antiquated designs, with ornate armor and intricate clockwork mechanisms adorning their vehicles and equipment.

While they would retain their distinct characteristics, this alignment allows for the integration of H.G. Wells' themes and ideas into the existing Warhammer 40,000 lore, creating an army that combines the dark and gritty nature of WH40K with the Victorian-inspired sensibilities of Wells' works.

Okay, so now we know how the AI analyzed the question.

What did YOU think?

its a long shot but he seems like a big necrons fan. GW even stole his tripods. they get up to all kinds of time travel fuckery too, like orikan using time travel to cheat in a court case (and still loses becuase he's a big nerd)

Or MechWar2. Perhaps the best tabletop wargame ever. 60 pages of rules, 30 pages of charts and tables. Computers let any nose picker who comes along pretend to be a gamer.

I luv me emperah and hate me xenos too much to stop Warhammer 40K.

Easier to play now that 3D printing is quick and affordable enough to avoid paying GW's extortionate prices.
