I live in Brazil, so official minis are extra, extra expensive. So my mom crocheted one for me!

I started my Warhammer journey around 1 year ago with the Space Marine 2 game. Asked around the community for lore videos and completely fell in love with the universe!

Then my mom found a crochet pattern for a Space Marine and made me one from my favorite chapter!

For the Emperor! For Ultramar!

look, you don't even need to make new models, just slap parts together from the old ones to make new variants, thats all I ask, just stop making sigismund difficulty + modes that take ages to grind out, please, astartes already has something like this, just do that, i beg-

As the title says this is my own personal opinion/experiences with how difficult specific enemies are.

If the list was most annoying then it would be very different. The Chaos Spawn would be in ‘Absolute’ but I hate them with a passion

Elephant in the room: Why are some majoris higher than extremis & terminus? Well the Lesser Sorcerer is just…sad. I’ve never personally lost an Opp in the boss room of the Trygon. Heldrake? Usually gone in 10-40 seconds. Bio-Titan AOE is very predictable.

Devourer Warriors when enraged…need I say more.

In any case this is my personal experience (I main Assault, Heavy, and Tech) It may be very different for other players better or worse but for my it’s list.

Update: I forgot the damn Enlightened Tzaangor. Lethal. I hate them. Stop moving fuck stick. And The Primes either low Ruthless or high Substantial. They get no diff with the Shock AOE

Back in February 2025 Saber confirmed that:

15% — of weekly active players play at least one Absolute match.

12% — of total daily playtime is spent on Absolute difficulty.

60% — average win rate on Absolute difficulty, compared with 50% on Lethal.

Presently in 2026 if I’m not mistaken, the success rate for Absolute difficulty is around 80%. However if we look at the stats, less than 20% of the player base were even engaging with Absolute which I think they “tried to” remedy a bit by locking cosmetics behind it (which people cheesed anyway).

So if Saber by their own admission can see the majority of the player base stick to lower difficulties then what is the idea behind constantly trying to force higher difficulty engagement? You’d think it would make sense to cater to the larger portion of your player base right? Capes got cheesed and now Lamenter armour is getting cheesed, that is a clear indicator Saber is seemingly out of touch.

Before you elitists go off on your “get good” rhetoric just keep in mind I only play Absolute and have NO PROBLEM with high difficulty games, I enjoy a “fair”challenge (grinding endlessly for hours isn’t a challenge fyi, it’s a chore). I’m simply able to see things from other people’s perspective and understand their frustration.

Made some outfits with Marvel character colors and even a Gundam 😄

Is there a way I can get just one miserable XP point fast? I have to go to work.

they are my space marines and they shall know no fear

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT BUY STUFF IN SIEGE MODE

PLEASE STOP NOT BUYING SHIT IN SIEGE WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SITTING ON 1400 POINTS NOT BUYING A SINGLE FUCKING THING RESULTING IN US FUCKING DYING

Ngl, in this game, nothing brings me more joy than being able to beat a hard weekly while also carrying my battle brothers. I am a Heavy main and he is the only one I have maxed, and when we were doing a weekly, my brothers would get knocked down a lot, especially one (since he was low level), but that didn't stop me and I kept managing to carry them through the entire game. By the end, someone said that I was very good, and it honestly just makes me very happy to help my team and get them the win. Obviously, this doesn't always happen, but when it does, it gives me such a great feeling.

I was very poor and i couldn't afford a pc or even a laptop when 2 was released, never played part 1, now i have a decent laptop to run it.

I mostly know about warhammer 40k through lore videos, the emperor's rise and the famous horus heresy. watched a lot of cutscenes of space marines part 1 and 2, the only thing i could afford back then.

I love salamanders so i definitely will pick the class with flame thrower.

Update: My laptop endured! I just picked angel of death, time to put my endurance to the test😭

Just died on the tutorial now its almost midnight on my area, will continue my hell tomorrow 💤

I need and want more volkite weapons their is no reason for their to be no volkite primary weapons

I don't know to much about the lore of volkite weapons nor do I have have a good enough memory to remember what I do know so this post might not make sense

Pls tell me I ain’t just tweaking and leaving the op was valid. I know I’m not the pinnacle of skilled gameplay either but I’ve decided we ain’t talkin bout me here 🗣️🗣️‼️

I was making a new lamenter yesterday and thought this robe looked really cool but I’m not sure if Lamenters wear things like it

I for the game recently and have been playing Operations with bots for a week or two now, as I don‘t like letting my teammates down as a new player. I think I can hold my own now, but I really don’t like talking with a mic in games. Is that frowned upon or generally accepted? I’m not sure how chill the playerbase of this game is.

P.S. I play on PC with a controller, but I’ve seen a good deal of people using keyboard, is that a better choice?

you look different

I know i will get crucified for this but hear me out:

Year 2 roadmap comparison to year 3 roadmap:

1. We get 3 news weapons (was 5).

2. 2 new operations (was 4).

3. Reskin siege mode (identical to original siege).

4. Reskin stratagems aka Crucible mode.

5. Already existing cosmetics added to other classes.

6. An abysmal twitch cosmetic cashgrab.

We are overall getting less stuff in year 3, by the looks of it, and year 3 has a big focus on reusing assets/reworking already existing classes aka lower budget.

Year 3 has also introduced a lot of game breaking bugs and awful QoL changes:

1. UI functions are breaking.

2. Some weapons not performing correctly.

3. Some new perks are useless.

4. Tooltips not working on certain things.

5. Tac reworking is... super weird, perks disabling other effects, awful weapon value changes.

6. Undocumented changes to the games fundemental values, this is perks, enemies, weapons etc.

7. Invisible arm, might be fixed now.

Hotfixes takes several patches (months) to get fixed, this include gamebreaking bugs like:

1. The old kraken penetrating rounds applied to plasmas/burning.

   1. Siege not rewarding accolades.

2. Ghost parries.

Worst part is, a lot of these bugs you will discover as a seasoned player, by playing for just a few hours, which clearly shows that the devs are on a strickt time/money budget since they clearly havent been play tested probably.

Rant is over!

(Quick side note:

I am by no means a hater of this game, and i consider myself a SM2 glazer, but at this point i would gladly take a big QoL hotfix patch over any cosmetic patch, since the game at this point keeps breaking every patch).

Doing a daily hard and I was having a blast. I was really feeling my sniper today.

Started the Judiciar as a test model to try out some fundamental techniques as a starting mini painter. Snowballed into finishing him “completely”. C&C welcome 🙏🏽
