At first you go in and it’s like Space marines? Fancy armor, with fancy helmets, sometimes aquila designs and wreaths and such, perhaps roman-like helmets, capes on occasion, skulls on different parts, etc.
But then you go down one corridor, and suddenly you’ve been down every corridor: pipes, grates, pipes, grates, pipes, grates.
So the emperor had some really fancy pants ideas for armor but he couldn’t spare a moment to think of the decor?
You go into one European palace and you see golden walls, curtains draped everywhere, chandeliers, beautiful artwork, fancy tables and chairs; but in 40k it’s like they had the decor of every human infested planet or ship designed by the ninja turtles.
Every 40k game makes the levels look like the ones from Necromunda hired gun, except instead of brown they go with grey. They look hideous.
Yeah, I have noticed too. The setting allows for very varied aesthetics with its space feudalism. But even like the legions like the dark angels have been significantly downgraded in terms of aesthetics. Are really that afraid to be more “out there” and creative?
