They all would Pack a heavy Punch with their primary arm within a few Werks though

[dry epoch]

Valkia’s brother showed his Slaanesh dedication through gluttony in ‘Valkia the Bloody’

So yeah. It’s not always about sex 🙂

[final spruce]

Never was

[tawdry escarp]

Slaanesh's deal has always been excess but since the Eldar did murder fuck him/her into existence, people tend to link them to sex.
Also deamonettes with dildo arms are a meme

[vapid tiger]

Yeah I have a friend who has this weird view of slaanesh because of the fan meme of him being a god of sex

because they like bdsm, and think that slaanesh is the only god that allows bdsm, therefore slaanesh=good and they should play a character in aos who deliberately assists slaanesh cults because "it's wholesome"

but you can enjoy bdsm without worshipping slaanesh

[storm jungle]

They didnt murderfuck

literally everything we've been shown to see them do is blood rituals/sacrifices/hedonism

sex is never mentioned at all, its just people being coomers

[vapid tiger]

Imagine dark eldar but with psykers and wraithbone stuff and that's pre-fall eldar

And that's how they achieved the fall

dark eldar don't really have a lot of sex stuff so yeah

[atomic pelican]

The most sexless individuals tend to be the most obsessed with sex

Cue 40k fans

[vapid tiger]

^

unless they're actual 40k players

those tend to have healthier sex lives, though tbf at most of the stores I've been at most of the 40k players have been chill lgbt folks too so maybe there's more incel players in more cursed places like ohio or the uk or something

despite getting a bad rep the southeast us has a shitload of lgbt folks in my experience tbh

[atomic pelican]

Yeah thats correct

Last time censusing was done on it, southeast USA had higher minority pops in near every category

[fierce pendant]

I mean it's literally the same like Yvraine being turned into a waifu. Memes caused this.

[vapid tiger]

Yeah, I'm in Alabama for example and we don't have as many horrible backwards hick places as people make it out

They exist tho

In comparison Ohio, a mostly white state, still has sundown towns apparently

[atomic pelican]

Yep LMAO

Its usually white suburbia that ends up being mega racist

So Ohio

SE Americans actually have to live by other races

[vapid tiger]

Probably most of the midwest tbh

midwest seems very white

[atomic pelican]

Yep

[vapid tiger]

west virginia is apparently really fucking racist tho

[atomic pelican]

Its just really poor

[vapid tiger]

i have a friend who initially went to their university back in college and he said that there were people who would just casually drop the gamer word

[atomic pelican]

Bruhhh

WVA and other app. Mountain towns can get wild

[vapid tiger]

Now tbf I've met people like that here but this is also the dixie state

The difference is that the guy who did that was largely viewed as a dork

[atomic pelican]

You'll see signs that remind you of Montana cults

[vapid tiger]

He is now a cop

[atomic pelican]

Classique

[vapid tiger]

[atomic pelican]

What better career path for such a man really

[vapid tiger]

He tried to join the military, apparently he got rejected from three seperate branches

Applied for the police force and got trained in a few weeks

When the police are accepting military rejects you know shit's fucked when it comes to our law enforcement

Since the military will take literally anyone

[hushed kayak]

wtf did i just witnessed on the earlier messages???

[errant pike]

well it would be boring if there was no sex

[hushed kayak]

smh lol

[plush mason]

?

[hushed kayak]

don’t worry about it, it’s for your own good

[plush mason]

No, but they sure are cute!

My favorite excerpt remains where a firesight marksman dies but his sniper drones protect his body for weeks

[grand haven]

they're like dogs yeah

[cunning wigeon]

Yeah and then fire warriors show up and it's like oh ye dead

[rose thorn]

HEyYYyyyy

[grand minnow]

Necron scarabs are best boys

[rose thorn]

i mean screamers are pretty cute tho

[clear sluice]

I don't understand some things

If necrons try to become human

And mechanicus are trying to become robots

Why don't they just .....switch bodies from the get go ?

Also why are space marines who belive in the Emperor allowed to work with adrptus mechanicus since they don't belive in Omnissiah?

[storm jungle]

Not all necrons are trying to return to flesh

[storm jungle]

Its easier said than done

[storm jungle]

Depends on Chapter to Chapter. Machine spirits are widely believed in the Imperium.

[clear sluice]

What are chapters?

Is it like a book ?

[grand minnow]

New idea, mechanicus go through biotransference, and necrons try to study them (yes i know biotransference was lost)

[storm jungle]

Chapters are organisations of marines

theres Ultramarines, Iron Hands, Blood Angels etc

they are Marine groups with individual cultures and goals and tactics etc

[clear sluice]

Bro mechanicus try to steal from necrons straight up😅

[clear sluice]

Ooooh ok I get it now

[grand minnow]

Oh i know im just making dumb ideas

[storm jungle]

Yeah basically they exist for homebrew

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chapter

[clear sluice]

Why does Corvus get so much hate ?

[storm jungle]

He doesnt

theres people that like him and people that dont, just like most primarchs

[clear sluice]

Oh

Well then I think I don't have any questions for now

[storm jungle]

At worst google stuff on the lexicanum

best source you can get as a summary

[clear sluice]

Or watch bricky videos

You know

He has a 40 minutes video or so in which he explains every faction

Plus I'm too lazy to search that up on Google

[storm jungle]

Bricky videos are not really good sources for lore

[clear sluice]

But I would happily allow a tech priest to transcend me

[storm jungle]

he says so himself

[storm jungle]

Then enjoy not having context for anything

[clear sluice]

That's what I'm trying

It all began with me knowing about this really boring board game and now there is a game that's supposed to be Vermitide 2.0 or something like that

And here we are in the present

A few searches up on YouTube shorts and found about noise marines

Which no offense but it's kind of a joke

Then found out about angry marines

Which in my pov are basically doom guy but yellow and 4 times bigger and angrier

[storm jungle]

They are pretty cringe

[clear sluice]

So you admit that cannon is cringe

That's good

Wait are they cannon ?

Or is it like a fan made thing that made it into 40k universe?

[storm jungle]

No LMAO

[shadow plover]

Angry marines are fanfic

[storm jungle]

Yeah they are bad fanfic Chapter from like

the mid 2000's

[clear sluice]

Oof

[storm jungle]

who use homophobic slurs and kill people

[clear sluice]

I kind of liked them

[storm jungle]

They are 4chan made iirc

which explains it a lot

[clear sluice]

Well they have a cannon designed to shoot themselves

So yeah to be expected

I suppose vampire and werewolf marines are also fanfic

Please say yes

[storm jungle]

They arent

because they are pretty grounded and ironically not so ridiculous

[clear sluice]

And sanguine marines and vampire marines are related ?

[storm jungle]

you mean Angels Sanguine?

[clear sluice]

Umm .....yes ?

I guess

[storm jungle]

the Blood Angels are a founding chapter

theres 20 Founding Chapters

from them there are successor chapters

which are basically their "successors" as the name implies

while the Foundings are their progenitors

[clear sluice]

Bro I study medicine on a daily basis and this shit makes my head spin

It's harder to learn the lore than to figure out how to play Tarkov

[storm jungle]

Its really not

[clear sluice]

I need your guidance

[storm jungle]

Just read the goddamn lexi

lmao

[clear sluice]

Ok

I though we had like a friendship moment there maybe but yeah

Too late for that I guess

I'll read the lexi

You're thinking too far

Not that it bothers me

Quite contrary

[atomic pelican]

Magical

Waste of potassium btw

[storm jungle]

Yeah

[errant pike]

grip too hard

[grizzled grove]

so, are imperial knights part of any specific Imperial force (like Spess marines, Millitarium, esc.) or are just their own thing?

[atomic pelican]

Their own thing I believe. But the knight houses are often called upon to support other forces

[grizzled grove]

huh. wait, knight houses? how separate are they from the overall imperium?

[atomic pelican]

Iirc there are 2 divisions

Questor Imperialis who serve the emperor, and Mechanicus who serve them

They are p much noble houses from imperial worlds where knights became, well, like feudal knights protecting the land

Then got reinducted into the imperium, and the knight houses pledged their service

Reminded me of this banger

https://youtu.be/p62z1nqIt5o

[grand minnow]

They can work as either their own one man army thing or usualy help the imperium.

Also armigers for adeptus mechanicus work in both armies

[crisp heath]

The most “free” of the imperial knights are the aptly named Freeblades think of them as mercenaries.

[rose thorn]

fuck i should get knights holy shit they are so cool and fun

[woven sandal]

Isn't it only 9 first founding chapters?

[rose thorn]

they are so horrifically badass, hang on whats that picture of Monty Python playing imperial knights during a game of 40k

Hey knight players, wahts stopping you from playing like this

[grand minnow]

Money

[storm jungle]

20

was reduced to 18 after the 2 primarchs went missing

now 9 because half went to chaos

kek

[grizzled grove]

I think I remember playing a viddy game involving an imperial knight as a kid.

some kind of mobile game?

[storm jungle]

OH YEAH

Freeblade

it sucked

[grizzled grove]

yeah, that was it

[crisp heath]

I still play it. I wish we had more of those.

[grizzled grove]

I wonder what makes Imperial Knights so special compared to the other(?) titans

[storm jungle]

Nothing

they are just smaller robots

also knights drive them

not much else

[woven sandal]

There's also the fact that with "proper" titans I think almost all of them are in the hands of one Titan Legio or another. But with Knights, they're not quite valuable enough that the Ad Mech really tries to horde them so they're a lot more autonomous than Titans. Hence things like Freeblades existing.

[lyric ember]

so at times, humans are allowed into the Black Library right?

Has there ever been a tech-priest allowed to go in?

cause i feel like they would probably cry if they were

[storm jungle]

They arent

Only the ones chosen by the ruling council inside the Library are. Not anyone can just waltz right in.

[lyric ember]

yeah thats what i meant

[storm jungle]

No human minus İnquisitor Czevak and Inquisitor Jaq Draco has been inside the library

[lyric ember]

wasnt there also a sister of battle

[storm jungle]

Stern yeah, but shes mostly roaming around

[lyric ember]

i see

man now i wanna know how a tech priest would react to that

[storm jungle]

Probably information overload

the library has most "answers" to most subjects in the universe according to the lore

[cunning wigeon]

What colour is space marine armour without all the ghastly paint jobs?

[storm jungle]

Grey

https://tenor.com/view/jesse-rubinoff-jesse-rubinoff-tim-and-friends-sportsnet-gif-25213410

[cunning wigeon]

Ah okay, ooc is it like a light grey or dark?

[storm jungle]

Generally there's been references to it being matt grey, as a cheeky in-joke to being the same colour as unpainted miniatures. The Pre-Heresy Death Guard didn't paint their armour and gets a couple of descriptions:

As the Dusk Raiders, the XIVth Legion's armour was an unpainted storm grey. The entire right vambrace, gauntlet and shoulder plate (sometimes both) were painted the deep crimson of drying blood, which signified the XIVth Legion's status as the "red right hand" of the Emperor's justice.

Grey Knights also don't paint their armour and are silvery, but technically they use a slightly different type of armour:

[fierce pendant]

Damn I was too late.

[storm jungle]

[fierce pendant]

Brother Blobimus will get his revenge.

[storm jungle]

damn him

[cunning wigeon]

Yeah this through me off because I'd heard that there were a couple different 'unpainted' space marines that had completely different colours

[storm jungle]

Yeee its just A BIT inconsistent

[vapid tiger]

Ye

Iron warriors are also supposed to be "unpainted"

the hazard stripes actually being standard on just out of the factory imperial gear

[cunning wigeon]

Didn't I see something about the hazard stripes being a bit of joke within the iron warriors?

[atomic pelican]

Black Legion(as in the book) says its black!

Unpainted

So we have a 3 way draw FBDB

Actually now that I think abt it, it was Talon of Horus

But same series

[plush mason]

if you spent 10k years in the dumpster fire that is black legion lore your armor would be very charred too 😛

[atomic pelican]

Have u read a book

[plush mason]

no its a joke lol

[atomic pelican]

I figured not

[plush mason]

and hell what little i do know of the black legion's lore its clear they are one of the better written chaos factions

[atomic pelican]

Looking back, it actually was grey

[plush mason]

epic fail

hell why do they have black armor?

wasnt the sons of horus armor green or something

[atomic pelican]

Its based on the black armor of the 1st honor guard of the SoH, terminators

[plush mason]

i see

[atomic pelican]

Abaddon led them

[shadow plover]

ye the justaerin

[atomic pelican]

Additionally, its sort of a symbol of their 'primarchless and leaving behind their old ways' nature

[rose thorn]

Chaos question, so how exactly are there chaos undivided daemon princes?

Is it just, random warp energy given to someone, is it like multiple gifts from multiple chaos gods?

[cunning wigeon]

lol so I have plenty of options for 'unpainted' marine armour, thanks

[atomic pelican]

Multiple gifts from different gods

Daemon princes dont happen randomly

[rose thorn]

Got it thanks

[rose thorn]

i know this isnt lore, but i had a dream that pokemon and 40k had a cross over and they added 1 pokemon, which was just a space marine helmet with kirby arms.

@storm jungle is... is that a raging/screaming wojak face on a nightlords body!? why the fuck does that fit them so well.

after looking again that's just his regular model face huh, still I am keeping my prior comment as my head cannon

[storm jungle]

It's not

It's Female Night Lord edit

[vast frigate]

you mean the average karen?

[storm jungle]

Not really but eh

[alpine ingot]

still keeping the head cannon that its styled like a screaming wojak face

[storm jungle]

👍

[vast frigate]

was moreso intended behaviour + general feel

The edit is funk tho

[alpine ingot]

nightlords always screamed "It's not a phase dad!" to me and that model just exemplifies that with that face lol

in all seriousness though, nightlords could use a bit more love in the modern setting. I really don't know of any major Nightlords in play right now lore wise.

[storm jungle]

Pretty much lack of structure and being homeless people

Death Guard, Thousand Sons, Word Bearers and World Eaters all got their primarchs

Night Lords have been forever footnote IRL and in-lore

if they didnt have the trilogy books they'd be 50% less interesting

[alpine ingot]

the mental Image of a Nightlord begging for spare change on a corner is hilarious to me so thanks for the homeless comparison, and it's sad how right you are about that bit about the trilogy making them a lot more interesting, because besides that, Kurze, and Sevatar what do they really have?

[storm jungle]

Yeah literally this

they are a footnote chaos legion almost none of the writers care about anymore

unless you get a big chaos event and the Night Lords are mentioned as "Oh yeah they are here doing the uhhh, idk terror attacks and killing Imperials, anyway moving on to the main plot."

[alpine ingot]

reminds me of a bit in the Cadia stands book. Ratling sniper is picking off traitor guard officers and other choice targets and then he sees a blur of movement that turns out to be a space marine that's on the same level as him in the building, naturally he chooses to kill himself by jumping to his death. The Nightlord jumps down and reaches the ground faster then the ratling due to his weight and then proceeds to catch said ratling before he can go splat on the concrete.

and then not one more mention of any Nightlords was made in the entire book

the fucking Sons of Malice got more screen time then the Nightlords in that book

[storm jungle]

Lmfao yeah

[storm jungle]

Also man I loved that part

I think it was a sorceror

but close enough, shame legion anyway

[vast frigate]

they were busy with the ratling

he ate their tools

[wind flicker]

cadia sneeds

they're in aos?

I’ve seen a video explaining it, but the lizard ppl, seraphon or what ever, weren’t selling well enough so they made their own playable army for 40K

Daemon style

Yeah lmao

It was like, the left overs of the great old ones?

And that also sold poorly because it was shoved in a white dwarf

Also it’s fucking lizard people

[lunar notch]

It has never made any sense. I don't have the best memory, but I think in that Word Bearers vs Ultramarines book there is something like a million Ultramarines gathered.

There is a passage that describes how many Marines and ships and so forth have gathered to attack some Ork warbands and it's like the biggest build up of Ultramarines ever, and that's why the attack by the Word Bearers was especially deadly.

Nevermind, it was 200,000

Still an absurd number compared to the piddly 1k that Chapters use.

Particularly because most large scale, sector wide battles barely ever use more than elements from half a dozen chapters.

And even that 1k is smaller than 1k when you think about it since not all of them are standard Marines, you have Scouts and Termies, and other elements that are not really combatants like Tech-Marines and Apothecaries who can go into battle but mostly don't. Tech-Marines being too valuable and Apothecaries focusing on recovering geneseed.

Yet we know there must be at least a million Marines.

IMO, the most sensible retcon that GW could do would be to change Chapters to 10k Marines rather than 1k since before the HH books ever came out people always assumed that a Legion was 10k Marines.

[woven sandal]

IIRC, it's something like 900 in the first 9 companies + a theoretically infinite number of scouts and attached personnel (i.e. Drivers, Techmarnies, Pilots, etc.).

There are a lot of loopholes in the Codex Astartes, and given that as far as I'm aware Space Marines are almost never gathered at full chapter strength, it is almost entirely impossible to get an accurate count of how many Space Marines of a full chapter exist at any one time.

[lunar notch]

I think that might not be the case, because I believe Roboute reaffirmed how many Marines were allowed per chapter when he came back. I'd need to check the 8/9th Ed codex since I believe the comments about this are in there.

[woven sandal]

I'd bet that even if every chapter was as codex complaint as possible the number of full normal Marines in most of them would hover somewhere between 700 - 1100.

And I imagine that chapters that are more distantly related to the Ultramarines play very loose with the Codex rules.

[lunar notch]

I agree. I also can't see a case where they just stop recruiting just because.

"Oh, we hit 10 companies? I guess we just stop getting more dudes."

Despite that being decidedly stupid.

[woven sandal]

I figure that there's constant offshoot chapters that get produced if a Marine chapter manages to get more than a company or two worth of extra full Marines up that it knows about.

I don't believe for a second that Marine chapters aren't basically being constantly created.

[lunar notch]

I was actually thinking about the problem of that earlier. Since founding a new chapter seems like an absolute nightmare given the equipment you'd need to do it.

I also can't think of a single piece of fluff I've read that goes into detail about how a new chapter is able to actually equip themselves (vehicles, ships, armor, etc.) Without falling into the pocket of the AdMech. Or being a brand new founding as a result of Cawl.

[woven sandal]

It just doesn't make sense. Yes, I understand that a space Marine chapter will send out dudes far and wide to just get into fights and help other Imperial forces, but even then, there's gotta be Chapters constantly getting created because not everywhere is Cadia or Armageddon and not every chapter will have the resources to get to those kinds of places anyway.

[lunar notch]

Also, some of the Chapters make zero sense lmao

Like, uh, what're they called.

The Head Takers?

I read their book forever and an age ago

[woven sandal]

That one isn't listed on Lexicanum.

[lunar notch]

Lemme see if I can find it

Taker of Heads

It's about the Mortifactors

[woven sandal]

Still not seeing it on Lexicunum

[lunar notch]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Taker_of_Heads_(Audio_Drama)

[woven sandal]

Ah, that was the title of a book. I thought that was the name of some Space Marines.

[lunar notch]

Basically these guys are all from a world nearly completely deprived of fauna, it's a death world with lots of flora though, and they are also cannibals. They are all completely uneducated, probably inbred, I am talking basically dead ends.

And yet they also have a Space Marine chapter.

[woven sandal]

Neophytes who have not made a worthy kill in battle are not allowed to wear helmets and are all referred to as the Faceless, by their Blooded Battle Brothers.

40k lore is a lot of times really cool, but sometimes it's pretty fucking grimderp.

[lunar notch]

It was a decent story, but when you stepped back and thought about like how the fuck these guys could possibly have a chapter for even a moment it made no sense at all

[woven sandal]

What possible reason could anyone have for forcing your Valuable Space Marine Neophytes to not fucking wear helmets in a fucking Warzone?

[lunar notch]

Ironically it's the guys who wear helmets that have a problem in this story.

[woven sandal]

Well, it seems like you found the only book in all of 40k lore where a Scout Marine is the main character, so I am not surprised.

I think you could go quite a long time without ever finding out that Scout Marines exist even as a fairly avid reader of 40k lore.

[lunar notch]

The conceit is also kinda stupid. I get that they are going for a sort of Enemy at the Gates but in Space Vietnam, but it doesn't make sense because at the end of the day the antagonist is a singular Tau sniper. Just one dude, and he's holding up like tens of thousands of Guardsman somehow.

[woven sandal]

He's a very good sniper

[signal hill]

Well, He can't Shine in melee, can He? But I guess it's kinda cool that some of the big Boys got their Asses Handels to them by a single Tau

[plush mason]

thats cause the codex astartes was made to limit how strong the SMs could be so there couldnt be a repeat of the heresy

in Warhammer Fantasy the only ones able to tame wild squigs are usually dark elf beastmasters

i think grey knights work best in a story where they play to their role of being specialized for hunting daemons. you can really play up that idea, and i really think chaos gate did that pretty decently

[rose thorn]

i really like that, theres a a solid chance of soemone knowing about sister
theres an okayish chance with deathwatch
no one who isnt directly linked or killed by gray knights know about them

i like the stories kinda like tyranids, where its from the POV of the victims, they appear, no one is left alive, they leave

[tender igloo]

i also really liked how in chaos gate, you yourself are the force commander.

[rose thorn]

oh yeah its super fun

shame its bascially an xcom clone, but xcom is a format really really hard to fuck up

[tender igloo]

i think they added enough of their own to make it feel distinct from x-com, but i also love x-com

[rose thorn]

i love xcom too lmao

[tender igloo]

i hope we see more from the studio. because they did a pretty good job with the game

[rose thorn]

its kinda weird they went more like xcom 2/mechanicus instead of a chimera squad format.

but chimera is

not memorable in any way lmao

[tender igloo]

it's probably a good thing they didn't do that then

[rose thorn]

yeah, Chimera squad does alot of cool stuff but its isnt really enough to make it as fun as xcom 2

[rose thorn]

me too, i think they would make a really fun if they use that format for maybe an eldar focused game

[vapid tiger]

Yeah sisters of silence are the better anti-chaos faction since they're just general anti-psyker

They're cool tho

I just wish they were portrayed as more of like

One component of the Inquisition's "daemon hunter" subfaction as they were originally portrayed

Rather than getting all of that focus

[rose thorn]

i think i might get gray knights, they seem actually pretty easy to paint, custodie style

[vapid tiger]

Not a bad idea

I do like that siege of terra actually makes their backstory kind of neat considering that most horus heresy stuff is absolute schlock

[rose thorn]

oh yeah i think they would be more cool if they are just more like Inquisition Secret police

[vapid tiger]

Being a mixture of malcador's knights errant and the emperor actually deciding to redo the thousand sons using his own genetic material and hoping magnus would lead them

[rose thorn]

i actually dont know much about Gray knight lore

i really like they look like knights and have psyker bullets

[vapid tiger]

Like, that's what the Emperor was going to have Magnus do after leman russ brought him to terra had horus not intercepted the orders

Just give Magnus a new legion of grey knights and go "okay now go kill off your sons now :))))"

[rose thorn]

OhHh hh,

[vapid tiger]

"ur genetic material mutates too much :))))"

[rose thorn]

Actually gray knights would be way fuckingcooler if they had thousand sons geneseeed

[vapid tiger]

"KILL YOUR CHILDREN."

[rose thorn]

lmao

Oh im an idiot its grey not gray

[vapid tiger]

The funniest thing about it is that the scene is like

"Magnus, I love you, join me and help me conquer chaos, then you can sit on the golden throne, where we can explore the mysteries of the warp together forever in eternal bliss"

"Oh btw you've gotta get rid of those mutant kids though"

and magnus is like "hell no that's fucked up" and takes tzeentch's offer instead

[rose thorn]

lmao,

the emperor is terrible

[plush mason]

[tawdry escarp]

I don't like his hair

[rose thorn]

Why exactly would grey knights fight xenos anyway?

[tawdry escarp]

If a Xenos sees them, then they must die

[rose thorn]

I use to like him but holy shit he’s so annoying

[storm jungle]

He literally admits he learns lore through grimdank memes

which is like

the most braindead way to present 40k as a lore youtuber lmao

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[storm jungle]

IM NOT KIDDING

Go watch his "Top 10 untrue 40k memes" video or something

he was like

"So I learned that Krieg DONT use shovels at all in the lore"

[rose thorn]

The grimdank meme is one of the most imperial bias things I’ve ever seen lmao

It’s so human sided that 90% of Xenos memes is
‘Xenos being dumb and stupid hahaha space marines better’

[storm jungle]

Yeah like he has the right voice and presentation imo, its more the way he "learns lore" is actually dreadful

His space marine video is the wankiest shit ive ever listened to

[rose thorn]

There’s this other YouTube shorts guy who does mostly space marines like, grim dark dead lifts or something like that, who’s 100 times less bias

And actually reads lore

[vast frigate]

so from you

atleast, chances are those memes come somewhere from your posts

[storm jungle]

Nah

its just usual grimdank shit

[vast frigate]

ah right

i mean.. atleast he admits it..?

[slender orchid]

Nah. Only so many times you can see the same Eldar waifu memes (Yvraine now, Macha and Taldeer before her), the same "Get the Flamer Brother", Heresy, blah blah

Emwattnot's little comics with Alpharius always in the background are the saving grace of that sub. God bless Him/Her/Them (Don't know their pronouns)

[storm jungle]

You clearly don't understand how grimdank works and how many times these memes are posted lol

also Emwattnot literally did the Macha and Taldeer meme on one occassion

[slender orchid]

Yeah, but everyone gets one free pass. Especially with comedic OC. Think it was the ladies night karaoke comic?

[slender orchid]

I would buy this mini. I almost want to kitbash this

[vapid tiger]

I mean xenos can have connections to daemons like those guys in the first eisenhorn book

[vapid tiger]

HOLY SHIT

I LIKE HIM EVEN LESS NOW???

what the actual fuck

[plush mason]

Lorgar was his favorite primarch so enough said

[vapid tiger]

Actually lorgar is mostly well written so

yeah makes sense

Although he is kind of weird in that his arc is just

Unresolved for the sake of sticking to the "he ascends to daemonhood post-heresy" fluff

[plush mason]

untill the end of slaves to darkness it seems lol

[vapid tiger]

ADB stated that he had pitched an idea during one of the Horus Heresy BL meetings a few years ago "while we were planning out what would happen during the siege"

Where lorgar dies

during the siege

and in his dying moments realizes he has made a huge mistake in converting to chaos

which would be fitting imo

But it was rejected on the grounds that they wanted daemon primarch lorgar to remain a thing

[plush mason]

oof

[vapid tiger]

i mean imo that would've been better

Since erebus and kor phaeron control the word bearers in 40k anyway

[plush mason]

umm thats how he started and has been reading the books and omicrons mostly now

[vapid tiger]

but no gotta have daemon primarch lorgar so corax can beat him up in a short story and presumably so they can make a model later

[plush mason]

so he started like most people do with warhammer. learning the memes first and then learning those arent true lol

[storm jungle]

He said it not me

"I learned 40k lore mostly from the memes you guys sent me"

[lunar notch]

Kinda annoying that only Horus, Curze, and maybe Alpharius/Omegon are dead.

And the rest can't even die. They can just have their plans mildly frustrated.

[plush mason]

yeah that was how he started out lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y39eM2YarMQ

[storm jungle]

trash

https://tenor.com/view/parks-and-rec-ron-swanson-computer-trash-garbage-gif-21878872

[vapid tiger]

i will not watch this

mayhaps he will finally kill those memes

[storm jungle]

If I did it so can you lmao

do it coward

[plush mason]

lol

[vapid tiger]

Many of which are as old as RAGE COMICS

[vapid tiger]

Negative

I shall throw dilara into the sun

[plush mason]

like that whole video is just a shitpost

purely meant to piss people off

[storm jungle]

Its really not

he doesnt say anything controversial

he just lists memes

[plush mason]

and then jokes about why they make sense lore wise AFTER he stated that memes arent required to make sense lore wise lol

[storm jungle]

I mean

you say this like hes smart to begin with

I genuinely doubt that was his intention at all

[plush mason]

hell i dont know the guy from adam

all im saying is he did learn from memes and then started reading the books

hell as far as loretubers go he is far from bad as he actively encourages people to tell him what he got wrong in the commits section unlike say arch that viscously defends his incorrect statements

like imo he is a good intro level loretuber due to his videos being fairly short and to the point unlike says a lutin who defiantly has better info but can be a bit overwhelming to newer community members

also he is a tictoker so there is that lol

which does make Wes the only tictoker i will ever defend and idk how i feel about that lol

[rose thorn]

I have a theory that grimdank is scared of well written characters

[wind flicker]

well written characters dont fit nicely in poorly made memes

[lunar notch]

Any character can be distilled to a handful of tropes or traits.

You don't have to be 100% accurate, you just gotta be in the ballfield.

[plush mason]

how tall are the imperial titans again?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735819155608961044/1000198380082974770/FB_IMG_1658536200751.jpg

cause i dont think the warlord class is 60m

[storm jungle]

Warlords are pretty big

and yeah that comic is just wanking on titan sizes again

[plush mason]

yeah the warlord is 33m

[storm jungle]

yeah the colossal titan meanwhile is 60m iirc

[plush mason]

a little over half the colossal titan's size

[storm jungle]

yeee

[plush mason]

again GW down scaled them to much imo

[storm jungle]

that chart is about as accurate as you are gonna get

when the actual writer of Titanicus told the authors to stop fucking up titan sizes it was kind of the last straw lmao

[plush mason]

doesnt tell me anything tho as i dont know those heights lol

[storm jungle]

Google is right there lol

[plush mason]

true

still imo the warhound should be like 20. reaver should be 30 or so warlord should be 50 and imperator should be like 70

[tawdry escarp]

To be fair, even if it was half his size, it would still kill him

Ass first

[plush mason]

not unless its able to get its guns up at the nape

titans in AOT are immune to all damage that isnt on the nape of the neck

[tawdry escarp]

Blow it's legs off, then decapitate

What about when levi sliced the beast titan to deli cuts

[plush mason]

you can immoblize a titan by cutting of its limbs but that wont damage it

[storm jungle]

Yeah its more to slow it down

even immobilised titans have killed people due to the scouts never being cautious

**CHOMP**

[tawdry escarp]

I don't think a warlord would have that same problem

[plush mason]

and with the colossal titan's steam just landing a shot on it is hard

[tawdry escarp]

The steam is a valid point

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah the steam

[plush mason]

istant smoke screen

[storm jungle]

ngl if that thing gets through like the void shield; idk how gasses work; it'd probably cook the entire crew

[plush mason]

100%

[storm jungle]

Its from the amount of heat the muscles of the titan creates when moving iirc

[plush mason]

look what it to the fleet lol

[storm jungle]

lmfao

yeah like

the problem with imperial titans is

if its anything fast and can dodge its kinda fucked

literally slice its legs/push it and it will fall over

you pretty much need to keep out of sight

[plush mason]

yeah

[storm jungle]

but then again its why they got escorts

[tawdry escarp]

Do you think a lance of Knights would have a better chance then?

[storm jungle]

honestly Knights would probably just get kicked around or have their cockpits torn open

[plush mason]

your best bet honest is to snipe the nape or use an aircraft

[storm jungle]

or this yeah

as long as you aim well you should be fine

but on the other hand

https://c.tenor.com/jrBj28CxJqIAAAAC/titans-run.gif

imagine being a knight and seeing these mfers running at you

[plush mason]

yeah the titans in AOT are nightmarishly fast

[lunar notch]

Guns are faster

[storm jungle]

Yeah

thats what the scouts said

and the marlayans

look what happened to them

[plush mason]

^

[storm jungle]

One titan can literally like

stand away

crunch rocks in his hand

and throw them at you

[storm jungle]

and kill like half your battalion

[plush mason]

the beast titan

[lyric ember]

https://youtu.be/SNgNBsCI4EA

[lunar notch]

To be frank, the guns in 40k operate at stupid long distances where artillery is concerned. Titans wouldn't have a chance with some dude firing some form of Laser-Destructor from like 3km away.

[tawdry escarp]

Chaos corrupted titans would be an unholy nightmare

[plush mason]

i dont think that can happen

[lunar notch]

And if 40k artillery operates like IRL artillery then BVR would be very common.

Just firing 200mm shells from 40km away

[tawdry escarp]

Of course not, two completely different franchises

[plush mason]

i was talking more about how the titans in AOT are made lol

[storm jungle]

Spinal injection goes brrrr

[plush mason]

oh thats not how the form is made

[tawdry escarp]

They're still people, just mindless

[storm jungle]

And yeah they are basically animals

[tawdry escarp]

Perfect daemonhost

[storm jungle]

lmfao

[tawdry escarp]

Nothing to compete with

Just a meat jacket waiting to be worn

[wind flicker]

Through demons

Wait no they retconned it with shub nwordath didnt they

Yeah

[plush mason]

nope. Yimir the first titan is still "alive" in some strange interdimensional realm and she makes all the titan forms out of sand with nothing but a bucket

[storm jungle]

Will admit

after that point AOT just lost me lmao

more confusing than 40k lore

[plush mason]

yeah its both strange and fucked up

[wind flicker]

Been done befire

https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Shub-Niggurath

DERIVATIVE

[storm jungle]

You see

[plush mason]

like she is still a slave even after death

[storm jungle]

Lovecraft was just memeing at the time

[storm jungle]

Also yeah like

I had no idea what the fuck is even happening anymore

[wind flicker]

Heated writer moment

[storm jungle]

[plush mason]

you know your racism is bad when even other victorians are saying its bad lol

[wind flicker]

Yeah shes a slave to the spine slug

After she fell in a pond under a tree

[plush mason]

no a slave to the royal family

[wind flicker]

How

Was it the fetishized cannibalism

[plush mason]

the whole reason only those with royal blood and use the founding titan is cause Yimir only follows the commands of those with said blood

[wind flicker]

But she has magical slug powers, is she just traumatized

[plush mason]

yeah she is trapped in her 13 year old self

its all fucked up and strange

[wind flicker]

Aot is too japanese for its own good

[plush mason]

more or less ya

[wind flicker]

Mikasas introduction and entire character

[plush mason]

like each titan body takes decades for her to make but in the mortal world it happens instantly

[tawdry escarp]

They do love giving children mental trauma

[lunar notch]

We killed God with the power of friendship

[plush mason]

and this gun we found

[storm jungle]

AOT is over too right?

[wind flicker]

Not weird from the Lovecraft side at all

[lunar notch]

The manga is, not the anime

[wind flicker]

Yeah everyone got vored sad ending no fun allowed

[plush mason]

the manga is yeah the anime is heading there

[storm jungle]

Ah good

[wind flicker]

Also eragon married mads mikkelson or something

[lunar notch]

There's a lot of cope that they'll change the ending in the anime.

[storm jungle]

also speaking of

let me see if My War 40k exists

[wind flicker]

The ending seemed bad tbh

But like

[plush mason]

why?

[wind flicker]

Fittingly bad

For the whole series

[storm jungle]

Lmao it does

https://youtu.be/6cH_di-eRgw?t=39

[lunar notch]

I don't know the intricacies, but my friend who is a giant fan of the series said that they ruin the main character's motivation and characterization right at the end and thus spoil the entire story retroactively.

[plush mason]

fail

[wind flicker]

Aot still has worse writing than knights of sidonia

[storm jungle]

dsfksdkjsd

man poor Eren

Bruh Moment

[plush mason]

being decapitated by a 20mm sniper rifle can do that to you

[wind flicker]

His mom got eaten by like

His dads previous wife too

If I'm not wrong

[storm jungle]

all his friends got eaten

and vored

tough stuff

[wind flicker]

I cant believe armin died to ape shit at 300kph

Tragic

[storm jungle]

I almost made a joke

saying at least titans dont exist in 40k

then I remember Xenology

[plush mason]

?

[lunar notch]

It'd a vook

[wind flicker]

But he has regen?

[lunar notch]

Book

[storm jungle]

It had this alien worm that literally makes you an AOT Titan

[wind flicker]

Can we talk

[storm jungle]

blood angels/dante fucked up and failed to exterminate it

[wind flicker]

Sit down

And have

[lunar notch]

Actually it's two books?

[wind flicker]

A serious discussion

[lunar notch]

I can't remember

[storm jungle]

Yeah

Xenology

then Xenologis

Xenology had like

MASSIVE lore dumps and takes

Xenologies is just

Alien

Picture

[plush mason]

wtf

[storm jungle]

let me see if i can find it

[lunar notch]

I wish there was a game where the Umbra were the main antagonist.

[wind flicker]

Does anyone remember the name of the xenos that are literally just xenomorphs from alien?

They have tommygns

In the promo art

[storm jungle]

Thats genestealers

[wind flicker]

No it was different

[storm jungle]

not even a joke they were just ripoff xenomorphs

oh

[wind flicker]

They had some dumb name

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

you are saying this

but

[wind flicker]

🔫 👾

[storm jungle]

Literal flying squirrels

[plush mason]

i love that the "name" xenomorph isnt a name

[storm jungle]

Honestly its such a simple but great name

[wind flicker]

Everything terrifies the british

[storm jungle]

LOL

[wind flicker]

Spicy food xeno

[rose thorn]

OMG I FORGOTT THEY EXISTED THEY ARE SO COOL LMAO

[wind flicker]

The pathogen ones are

Xenos with guns is snore

[rose thorn]

Don’t they still use nuclear technology?

[wind flicker]

The british?

[storm jungle]

rickety ones yeah

[plush mason]

its not a name which is great cause it ads to the fear factor. "xenomorph" means unknow lifeform

[wind flicker]

Theyre stone age I think

[storm jungle]

Also it just morphs into whatever its host is

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[storm jungle]

its good stuff

[wind flicker]

The 40k one too?

[storm jungle]

Im no longer interested in 40k outside of darktide

[plush mason]

like the whole point is to play into human psychology. if something cant be named it cant be understood and there for its even scary

[storm jungle]

xenomorphs are great for that yeah

i just love the thing

https://tenor.com/view/xenomorph-alien-covenant-gif-20190788

[wind flicker]

Ok

[rose thorn]

Because 40K lore blows.

Ynnari, more like ynno more lorei

[wind flicker]

I have to get out my writers hat

Then after a few minutes the victim again rises to his feet, like an undead, and begins to grow, sometimes reaching a height of at least 30 feet with appropriate bulkness.

Shapeshifting like this would make them paper thin

They'd die to buckshot

[storm jungle]

Yeah this is the like

same problem as resident evil bosses that instantly transform

[plush mason]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-roll-whatever-gif-12942763

where the fuck do they get all that biomass

[wind flicker]

Resident evil large forms at least make sense cuz like

But human to skyscraper

[storm jungle]

Alcy SIMMONS LITERALLY TRANSFORMS INTO A FLESH T-REX

[wind flicker]

Me trying to tell my jarhead teammates to keep all 3 pillars at full health for the max reward

In this thesis I will explain why all shape shifters are mandated to be incredibly heavy

[storm jungle]

[vast frigate]

Aliens and monsters being unique is exactly why i got books with refs and explanations for monsters and deformities instead of normal anatomy drawing guidea

Fuck your spine and your ankles, theyre reverse now

[vapid tiger]

I do like this artwork of a bunch of minor unnamed xenos species

[rose thorn]

THAT TECHNO BARBARIAN MOFO LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME

[vapid tiger]

Which one

Gun face or big guy?

[errant pike]

top right

bottom left looks like a shark

[rose thorn]

Yeah top right

[vapid tiger]

Yeah they cool

[rose thorn]

I wish mercenary rules or something like that could come to 40K, like most xenos and maybe even chaos space marines can take a unit of mercenary minor xenos. Drukhari had a handful of minor xenos already in their use. Something for these guys to come to table top

[rose thorn]

I’d 100% play them with out a doubt in my mind

[vapid tiger]

I like how this fanart makes him as big as a dreadnought

With the marine in his hand for scale

[rose thorn]

I mean it seems right, compared with the size of the skulls on it’s chassis

[vapid tiger]

Yeah

I can imagine them being this giant minor xenos species called "jotunn" or something that employ ork/kroot/chaos mercenaries or something

or work as mercenaries

[rose thorn]

yeah, idk what chaos would have mercenary rules wise besides chaos xenos, but it would be cool if eldar can get kroot mercenaries, tau could get fuckin uhhh, sslyth or waht ever the snake is called mercenaries.

just so we can get more shit like this

[vapid tiger]

Honestly the eldar need their auxilary range expanded because they have a lot of cool auxiliaries in the fluff who aren't on the table

Like the psychic sloths

The nicassar

[rose thorn]

oh thst sounds cool

and imperials could get rogue trader as mercenaries or imperial aligned xenos

[vapid tiger]

Tarellians are reptilian dog soldiers

Vorghs, who can apparently fight knights in hand to hand combat due to being huge

Galgs, these things

[rose thorn]

thats so ugly is amazing

[vapid tiger]

And ofc human auxiliaries which could literally just be an alternate guard kit like the brood brothers

Like, guardsmen with pulse carbines and fire warrior helmets or something

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH WHATS THAT 'minor' xenos thats just a shit laod of worms and is powerful enough that even the imperium cant deal witht htem

[vapid tiger]

The slaugth

[rose thorn]

YEAH

[vapid tiger]

They're evil creatures

Maggot men

[rose thorn]

fuck i just want them as a faction

[vapid tiger]

One is gonna be the uh

[rose thorn]

or at least akillteam

they are so cool

[vapid tiger]

||antagonist of my dh campaign||

[rose thorn]

OOOOO

[vapid tiger]

They're virtually invincible against small arms

Since they just regenerate

[rose thorn]

i just imagine on table top they would be a super elite custodies style faction

[vapid tiger]

An astartes squad can fill one with bolter rounds and it'll keep going

You need like, flamethrowers and meltaguns and shit to actually kill them

And even then you need a lot of those

[rose thorn]

lmao they are so cool shame theyw ill probably never ever get lore again

Ynnari style

OH yeah do you think leagues of votann are going in the imperial or xenos faction

or what ever the 40k verison of grand alliance is called

honestly i hope they count as xenos so imperium doenst get the benefit of another count on thier tab

[vapid tiger]

Xenos

They're gonna be xenos

Especially since it's confirmed they've worked with the tau

[vast frigate]

Imperial

Sinxe they have ties with humanity

[storm jungle]

but they arent Imperium

or even care about them

unless they got MONEY

[vapid tiger]

also if anyone is interested in joining a dh campaign dm me

to be vetted

[vapid tiger]

Found some gold here!

Need a platform!

[storm jungle]

[vapid tiger]

imperium and eldar over here like "OHHHH THE TYRANIDS ARE GOING TO KILL US ALL"

Meanwhile the leagues are like "new steeve just dropped"

[storm jungle]

lmao

[rose thorn]

so we have space humans, space demons, space orcs, space elves, space dwarves, whats left on fantasy things to slap space onto

space zombies

hmmm

[spark relic]

Space rats

And no, ratlings do not count

[rose thorn]

Gonan be honest, I think porting skaven to 40K will literally just be control C control V from AOS to 40K

[errant pike]

no we have eldar for rats

[proper helm]

Nah it's the Guard

[rose thorn]

Tyranids tho

[errant pike]

i think it's actually orkz

[spark relic]

You all make valid points

but orks are orks

[shadow plover]

Imperium is space skaven

[proper helm]

The nids are missing the essential "horrible oppression and slavery" element that orks and guard have

[errant pike]

crappy engineering that shouldn't work, backstabbing

[spark relic]

how can they be otherwise?

[rose thorn]

Oh yeah mechanicus

[proper helm]

ooh fair point

[rose thorn]

Hmmm

Space…. Knights…. That’s already a thing

[spark relic]

Kinda

[rose thorn]

Space marines and imperial knights

[spark relic]

The crusaders are a very minor group tho

[rose thorn]

And chaos knights and chaos space marines

[spark relic]

yeah but spaz mereens are everything

Not just knights

[rose thorn]

Space lizards were a thing…

[spark relic]

Oh right, the Zoats

[rose thorn]

No the lizards from Fantasy basically had a port to 40K

In first edition I believe

[spark relic]

really?

[rose thorn]

Yeah

Lizards weren’t selling

[spark relic]

Not surprising tbh

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[spark relic]

I can understand why people didn't want to play the Aztec iguanas

Besides, copypasting factions only works half of the time

[rose thorn]

Yeah but that’s most of warhammer 40K

DRAGONS

SPACE

DRAGONS

Bam done GW I demand 5% of the profits from The space dragons idea

And no the necron void dragon doenst count

[spark relic]

Prince Imrik is gonna flip his lid when he finds out he has been ported to space fantasy

[rose thorn]

Damn space dragons remind me of endless legends.. what a good game

I have no clue how-

FUCK SALAMANDERS

AAA THEY ARE SPACE DRAGON MARINESSSS

Space uh- uh- Canadians

SALAMANDERS AGAIN FUCK

[spark relic]

Uh... space Jamaicans

[shadow plover]

Also check Black Dragons chapter

[spark relic]

fuck

[rose thorn]

Space uhhhh marines

DAMN IT

[spark relic]

They literally have horns what the hell

actual dragons when GW?

I mean, I know we have the Salamander beasts from Nocturne but they can't fly so I'm not counting them

[rose thorn]

not counting emperors children, waht do you think the next new faction will be for 40k

[wind flicker]

Squats

[rose thorn]

OH and after squats I mean

[wind flicker]

Frogs

[rose thorn]

The new original^(TM) 40K faction

I feel like AOS in a bit of a good place with so many factions that are almost not complete bullshit

[rose thorn]

fr0ge

[wind flicker]

Space frogs

With friendly skaven

[rose thorn]

‘THE GREAT OLD ONES COMING BACK FOR ROUND 2 BITCHES’

[lunar notch]

Dark Mechanicum is a solid guess that I have seen a lot of people toss around

[rose thorn]

I hope one of the better known minor xenos become a faction

[rose thorn]

Oh yeah. I feel like it might be a bit redundant tho

[wind flicker]

Xenomorphs with guns and more sexy

Rakgol gang

[rose thorn]

Maggot men💕

[lunar notch]

There has also been a lot of talk about them bringing back the LATD.

Because they used to actually be an army

[rose thorn]

mEHhh i guess i could see that, probably with the death of custom CSM warbands

if htey bringback one of the lost primarchs i will be so pissed for no real reason

[lunar notch]

They won't

Abnett said he'd never write about it.

[rose thorn]

yeah but

there is a chance and thats what scares me

[broken bridge]

do bolters have firing pins?

[lunar notch]

They should.

You need to ignite a primer on the gyrojet round to burn the powder.

[wind flicker]

Bolters don't have recoil

[lunar notch]

Still need an igniter, and electric ones were absolutely not something that they knew about and are a pretty recent invention.

[twin shoal]

It’s technology from the 41st millennium trying to judge it based on current understanding of technology’s kind of pointless

Magic gun go pew pew

[woven sandal]

This is a meme right?

[vapid tiger]

I'll frog you

[wind flicker]

hot

[vapid tiger]

😳

[rose thorn]

Is their a Belakor aligned CSMs (not counting word bearers)

[atomic pelican]

Belakor probably has servants but I dont think any big legion

He has a knight house so Im sure he's swayed some CSM to his cause

[rose thorn]

Idk why it feels weird he would have a knight hosue

House

[shadow plover]

he pretty much threw the planet they were protecting into the warp

[atomic pelican]

Yeeee
