November Vote Results and Decision for Future Grimdark Polls (Patreon)
Content
Hello!
The Grimdark poll results are in and it's the Lion taking the top spot! Rejoice First Legion fans, your Primarch is finally coming to this patreon!
I'll include the Thunderhawk in March 2022 since it's been on the threshold for quite a few rounds. Khorne and the Lion will take a long time to do properly.
So, another Primarch won the poll and the next few were not xenos. I can see how frustrating that is for non-Imperial/Chaos fans. I had hoped the new voting system would encourage diversity in what gets chosen. For Fantasy and Sci Fi Alternative, I think there is a decent spread but I admit the Grimdark polls results are always pretty one sided towards Imperial and Chaos. To address this, I'm going to tweak the Grimdark poll formula.
In the future, instead of having single poll items for Grimdark month, I'm going to try a two-for-one versus model. So instead of say Fulgrim as a single poll item, I will put Fulgrim vs Avatar of Khaine or Dante vs Swarmlord as separate poll items. These matchups will be Imperial vs Xenos, Chaos vs Xenos or maybe Imperial and Xenos vs Chaos (it happens). The combinations will not necessarily make chronological or canon sense, but do you really care? The trade-off will be that only one or two poll items will be chosen each month but this way the other factions will get some attention.
Thanks to everyone who voted and congratulations if your choice got picked! There is one more Shepard Diorama update just around the corner. Stay tuned!
