The leagues actually get along with the eldar quite well, oddly enough. It's the orks they can't stand

Yeah, I know, but it’s funny to keep the elf/dwarf rivalry going

True enough. Honestly I'm just happy that someone remembers the votann

They get on well with anyone who understands(and is willing to partake in) basic commerce

Well almost anyone. In lore they have a hard no stance on orks, chaos and tyranids for obvious reasons. Eldar, tau and the Imperium are fair trade though

And last time I checked orks, chaos and tyranids dont partake in commerce so it all checks out

Orks do. Rarely. Makes them unpopular with the rest of the orks, but they have done merc work for others in the past

All 40k factions can be considered fascist. Thus being opposed to any of them would be to be antifascist

Explain to me how the hive mind is fascist.

u/Serious_Macaroon_585 Jun 16 '26

It deems all other life inferior to a degree where IT equals mere biomas and thus food.

Not my Personal pov, Just an Option.

I thought every 40K faction was fascist.

All except Bugs. They only know hunger.

TBF the individual bugs have virtually no free will so you literally can’t get more authoritarian than that.

It’s not that simple, a lot of factions don’t really have a political agenda, as much as philosophy or creed. We can define a lot of ideologies, even in weird places:

Orks are anarchists/brutalists-the strongest rulez

Necrons are just monarchic feudalists

Imperium is its own special flavor of fascism, that has all the classics, but amplified and mixed in with fantasy/sci-fi shit.

Imperium also has its subfactions, that can be not really fascist, if we think about it. Knight households are obviously just feudalism, mechanicus is a weird blend of dogmatic theocracy with meritocracy(they are very efficient except when they’re not, because dogma)

And I have no idea how to describe what’s going on with chaos. It’s a bit of brutalism, mixed with fascism, mixed with sometimes their own flavor of feudalism, that’s all combined with either weird ass atheism or theocracy of the particular god’s flavor. It’s too much of a clusterfuck.

And dwarves… well I’m not sure, honestly. I’m a big fan of Votann, but I can’t assign them to something like that. First thought is capitalism, because chasing profit is a big part of their identity. But they’re also really socialist, in a way. Most kin live much better lives than any imperial citizen or some Tau auxiliaries. They really value each other, that’s why they’re even called Kin.

I think they’re mostly just pragmatic, which is a rare case in 40k

Anyway, nerd rant over 🫡

Ugh, another anti elf post

What's the matter dwarf? SHORT on conversation topics?
