Slaneesh is about excess, in any form
well the chaos gods didnt form in complete until the war in heaven happened, causing the realm of dreams to develop into the warp
It can be perfection but it doesn’t have to be, it’s just excess
Yeah, it's excess. Emperor's Children just happened to manifest that in their pursuit of perfection
Eh... Slaanesh is more excess than perfection imo - perfection is just a means of indulging in excess
Someone who is Slaaneshi could, theoretically, be content not ruling a caste of warriors so long as they were the single best warrior there.
Tzeenchian, however, would want to be the best warrior there and wouldn't care about whether or not they were actually the best.
Aye, I'm just showing an aspect of Slaanesh
5 minutes lads
Many who want are ambitious and hard working would actually fall to Slaanesh, not Tzeench
Oh this is a throwback
Tzeench would often be those who scheme to skip the line.
Khorne would just remove everyone in the line. And the line itself.
"Take a walk down memory lane with us and watch the original Dawn of War intro, released nearly ten years ago! Diehard fans will recognize this from the start of the original Dawn of War game.
Tzeentch can try all he wants, but he’ll never be cunning and brutal
Dawn_Of_War_SpaceMarine_Scream.wav
y'all need Malal
Cunningly brutal or brutally cunning?
i mean. i dont see Tzeench as ambition at all but rather change itself like i can understand Slaanesh as ambition but change isnt exactly a direct goal people work for. change itself is often uncontrolled and the change you end up making can easily be the change you didnt want to make
where are my rejects at, there is mobians to kill!
It was always hilarious in that cinematic how a dread would be so blissfully unaware of a single tankbusta doing a leeroy jenkins to oneshot him
3..
Mork's da cunnin' but bru'al, 'n Gork's da bru'al but cunnin'
Zog off ya git, it's da other ways round
it do not matter
I'm talking more about those who would seek the favours of the gods here
@gray island so when are we getting cool space dwarves as playable characters?
Never
IZ IT? YOU'Z WANNA FOIGHT 'BOUT IT?
right now on DEEP ROCK
Deep rock deez nuts
so true

ROCK AND STONE, BROTHER 
ROCK AND STONE
I'LLZ KRUMP YA WIF DA POWA OV GORK AND MORK!
FS has said they don’t plan to add squats
Imagine if the servers clogged from too many downloads at once
i thought people sought out Tzeench for power to change fate more often than not
IF YOU DONT ROCK AND STONE YOU AINT COMING HOME
I mean, there's a lot of reason to look for Tzeench, that's definitely one
i would also love a game as a regular guardsmen against tyranids
I can't imagine how many levels they'd need to rework for that to happen
in vr
Probs come close to the Aliens games 😄
IIRC, the new space marine game is going to be against nids (know that's not guardsmen though)
Even miners of DEEP ROCK have hot melt guns and plasma cutters. 100% Votann
cant wait to watch in first person as my position gets overrun and i succumb to a ripper swarm ripping me to pieces for my biomass
it is
what happens to fatshark mek boyz
Lemme play as a Mek Boy who painted themself 'UMIE KULUR
its time
Ok remember people, this is our safe space aware from the ccooldown
^ yeah lets not abuse it lol
Solomon Lok vs Hierophant Bio-Titan
WHICH UN' OF UZ' IZ TALKIN BOUT GORK N' MORK?
i was merely informing the fine people of lore that its gaem time now

#1042554651196784740 is on 6 hours
To encourage people to use Discord's search feature.
Anyway, while it DLs
Mek boyz in DT when?
Because otherwise you'll spam the hell out of it
quit complaining 
Omnissiah bless my computer
the maw calls
yes im not complaining
i just find it a tad bit too extreme
I wanna see a Trukk circle TI Alloys as it's OSed
One thing I appreciate about FS handling the lore is that they treat the las teams as a fairly "special" enemy group that's supposed to be roughly equivalent in power level to you.
(rather than as cannon fodder)
I imagine if they were cannon fodder you'd go through an entire regiment's worth of enemies in short order
Mek Boyz for Dakkatide
get krumped
Good luckk with the flood btw
FOR THE EMPEROR, FOR THE GYROS BANK!
And stop complaining here or we'll get Slow mode too
As I cannot edit the comment for unknown reasons: Luck* (goddamn dysgraphia)
Is this from Necromunda or something to that level?
People don'tr apprecait how guard aren't just Jim from next door with a shotgun
They're trained from a super young age, usually
Especially Cadia,m where it was like... what
6? 8?
Wrong system, Khorne.
I know you're not great at directions, and the road spacerage doesn't help much there, but it's the next system over.
Please
This is lore chat fuck off
No. Now go to general or some such.
Dis be the lore 'n krumpin' chat
If you have a complaint, this is not where you put it
Hunger Games but if you lose they throw you into The Maw
This channel isn’t called “#place-to bitch-about-timed-messages-because-you-don’t-want-to-wait-a-minute-to-post-in-general”
Monster Hunter but instead of chosing weapon you chose what character type you are
Like an Ogre Hunter Javelin or what ever
Dwarf Slayer
Bretonnian Grail Knight
wut
didnt the dragon emperor just say "fuck these big brutes" and casually hurl a warpstone comet on their homeland?
OH you're talking about the other person
DA MAW CALLS
yes
I though you were telling us to f off
thats what the Ogryn are
Yes
Sadly, not at all
Ogryns and Ogres are reaaallly different
Some Ogres are actually extremely intelligent

And very few are strictly dumb
well yeah but the Ogryn are made to be Ogres in space lol
Yeah but they don't quite scratch that same itch
@plush mason
Yeah. People being annoying using this chat to piss and moan, gonna get it slowed too.
Yeah I am 100% with you there. They can bugger right off
Having a chill place to talk about lore n the occasional tangent is nice
???? what did i do?
Chapter Approved
no it was just an actual random meteor that nearly wiped them out, completely decimating their entire homeland and forcing them to migrate to the mountains of mourn where they ate the previous rulers (the sky titans) into extinction then mistook the meteor that nearly wiped them out as a god, then they started worshipping it and it became an actual god
Such is the way of public discords. All channels must be slowed for 15 minutes lest the unwashed masses ignore the point of named channels for explicit purposes
Depends on which world 😆 Some guard regiments are just tithed reservist PDF regiments
The Inquisition approach, blame everyone
lol
It's all ogre now
waaaagh
I don't think they would do an Ogre if they did a separate Fantasy game
you may have a wife, husband, children, and a job. but as of this moment they no longer matter, for it better to die for the emperor, than live for yourself.
you hurt me
Well there is still Firebelly Sienna who would tide you over
Still less weird than Necro Sienna or Ice Sienna
if it made her 12 foot tall and about 1,00 pounds yes
At least I have my prophet state that is still correct
Anyone else waiting for the initial rush to die off before logging in? 😄
Would be fun if they’d add sallarn chem dog voice pack
Tho I belive it would require either heavy English or Russian accent to add up prison vibe
Ogres aren't dum the are a bit slow and have the presence of a six to 7 year old human child Ogg Want to shoot NOW!!!

Naa lore have them like 3 year old and i woudlent give it big gun to 3 year old minded bruit
It varies but they’re more just super effective fighters
They have good fighting instincts
But stuff like math, and strategies and logistics don’t really play well
Slow but not dumb implies they can reach the intelligence level of a normal human though
Which I don't believe has ever been canon
It is not, they’re definitely pretty damn dumb
Maybe that's been retcconned in recent guard 'dexes, I haven't played them since they dropped support for my favorite flyboys and renamed to astra militarum
Although the one Psyker Ogryn girl was fairly smart
But she’s a huge outlier
And she’s also super dead now
Yeah, there's always exceptions/outliers
Nork is often said to be a genius Ogryn and he’s still pretty damn dumb
Well the is one He was pretty smart as ogryn when made intelligence of 12 year old when he got boneheaded become body guard for the Commisar he's intelligence of 15 year old teen"he that famus ogrun whit that famus commisar
@coarse cairn If you've any lore sources that make the claim for ogryns across the board I'd be curious to see it
check after that famus ogryn you can even have him as a mini
Ogres are not particularly bright but are capable of understanding some complex ideas like religion, they are also really really good at telling when doing/not doing something would pay out well like in fantasy they know not to eat the farmer that grows the cows as the cows would all be quickly devoured but to instead force the farmer to give cows as tribute so that the cows won’t ever stop coming
"across the board", not "exceptions to the rule"
he lore wise jo
Stupid but not brain dead
"Complex ideas like religion", as in, "commissar is a direct manifestation of the emperor who is always watching"? 😆
but yeah
The lore does put them as taking to faith fairly easily
man I miss playing guard 😦
No in fantasy they do follow not only their own native religion but can adopt other religions from the cultures they encounter in work for like some ogre man eaters worship sigmar
It's Andy Hoare's 4th Edition IG Abhuman Regiments from White Dwarf 303 (UK), Feral Ogryns were one of the recommended Abhuman Regiments using 6th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle Ogre Kingdoms minis with their own rules using 3.5E IG dex and WD 303.
ye, Feral Ogryns are 6E (2005) WFB OK in 40k (4E - 2005)
The Ogres in fantasy worship the great maw
Most do ye
om nom nom
Though the Imperial Cult states that Ogryns are too dim-witted to become Psykers, this has changed in the wake of the Great Rift's creation. A Penal Legion Orgyn named Cassia displayed psychic abilities in battle and soon joined Lord Inquisitor Falx' retinue. The Inquisitor believes the Great Rift caused Cassia to become a Psyker and suspects that many more Ogryns will start to develop psychic abilities as well.[13a] Cassia also had an increased intellect afterwards and learned how to read and write on her own. The Imperial Cult states that Ogryns are also incapable of doing this. It is however not clear if Cassia's new intellectual level is a result of her becoming a Psyker.[13b]
Yeah the psyker ogryn was mentioned earlier
Yeah she’s an exception to the rule which we mentioned
We’ve seen no other examples since
"Inquisitor believes" is also not a ruling on the lore
And there’s a reason it was special
coughjaqdracocough
Nork Deddog he is one of the smarter bone.heads you can find
Yeah and even he can only count to like four
@coarse cairn we're not talking about individual exceptions
And signs his name with an N
we're discussing ogryns as a whole
They’re effective in combat and have some intelligence but in a lot of ways they’re not much smarter than kids
They just have really good combat instincts
like space marines ogryns are child soldiers
As somebody completely new to 40k lore is there a TLDR of what these planets we can choose from mean?
All of them of Fat Shark OCs except Cadia
Cadia was basically the lynchpin against the Eye of Terror, a hole in the Ozone of the galaxy. Except instead of the ozone it's reality. And instead of sun rays it's daemons.
Cadia is also not a planet
It's a bit like Pluto, in that sense
A lot of Plutos
Really small plutos, of indeterminate shape and size
Ah interesting. And the rest of them are fat shark originals is what your saying?
Oh cool cool ty sir
Np
Yeah it’s what you see on the tin for most of them
i accidently skipped the cutscene where you go meet the inquisitor. can anyone vividly describe to me whats at stake here?
Atoma Primes anime girl body pillow supply is dangerously low
Luv me Empera. Luv me Primark. Luv me Chapta. 'ate traitors 'ate Orks (not racist, just don't like 'em) 'ate heretics Simple as.
Bad people do bad thing. Stop them.
😮
Which Primarch would win in a fight?
joe
My dad would beat up your dad
nuh uh
Yeh huh
Jagatai, Vulkan and probably Corax
nuh uh
Jagatai goes fast. Fast is power. Jagatai goes power. He punch good
Sangunius and Curze are probably top contenders because of forsight and our lore of their fights in the heresy novels. Not saying they would win in every fight by any means, but theyre top contenders. Unfortunately we havent gotten to see them all fight one another 😭
Sanguinius is the one primarch everyone singled out as being above them all
And he’s undefeated until Horus
Who was basically the four chaos gods in a Horus suit
Every other primarch I would out almost even if not even
People really overestimate the gap between them all
Guys so you know that in the entire 40k universe, the guardsmen weapons ahahahaah they are basically flashlights lol
😂
Alpharius/Omegon for example are often brought up as “weaker” ones but Alpharius almost killed Dorn, and he was seemingly holding back for some reason
Please leave dumb memes out of this channel
but muh shuvel
Or at least pick ones from after you were born
Lool umm commisar, i think this guys a heretic
😂
You mean girlyman? AHAHAHAHAH
Guys, I called Ultramarines Smurfs
😂
shovel charges you
😂
lol bro, so true hahaha, cause they're like blue, they get too much plot armor in my opinion, i know, a bit of a hot take, but /srs
🤔
I know, food for thought
HAHAHAHAHAAHHA
😂
😆

don`t spam pick up item it crashes the game
🤓
3rd time))))
He is our golden boy chad, my favorite legion and chapter in current timeline is blood angels followed by the wolves but unfortunately blood angels havent gotten good love in form of literature as of late or the heresy (Devistation of baal and Dante are great)
alpharius also went toe to toe with constantine when he wasnt fully mature yet after wearing a custodes suit that he took from infiltrating the palace, in the primarch book for him, he was confident that he could have taken him as well
Depends on how you read it I suppose, that was my favorite primarch novels thus far. Even picked up the audio book and its top notch
the planet broke
🫡
The guard broke before the planet did
NOOO no way, imperial guard is soo cool ,they liek hav flashlgihts and they fight the horrorss
experienced it firsthand on gmod rp
it's very rough
Flashlight go spat
And I can bet, thank you for the service guardsmen, serve khorne well 
🫡
Fuck Erebus
Erebus is cool
That's what they all say, I mean it all started "I love the emprah" and now its "I love CHAOS" so eventually you'll see the truth 🙂
Who's erebus? i Havent seen him in the memes or gmod sorry
Erebus did everything
😮
Erebus is badass man, accomplished more than Kharn ever has, Higher kill count too
Hes top tier
I feel like Kharn has a statement against that...
Just a bit...
You know, Kharn smashed him a bit
Sigusmund is top tier
And then Erebus escapes, ez win
Yeah but then he has to keep being himself
NOOO
Eternal Ls
ID never let chaos secpae i am guardsmen i servbe the emperor
You did at Cadia 
I didntdt the planet broke
I didnt
My character actually in character my adoptable OC she killed 20 chaos marines with just a broken shovel
😮
That's fair though
If only the guard could survive with a dying planet
Also, tell me more of this lore, I need to know how this man did such a feat...
You know, to kill you properly later
Wanna find out 😈 😈 😈 ??
🥶
Not first hand, particularly not, however, through another man
And that's a shovel
Dodgeball is now 40k lore now
yeah, orks been playing it with gretchin for years haahaahahahaha
🤓
Take the shovel memes somewhere else please.
Dont make us put slowmode in this chat too
Just ban some nerds
bro, this is a 40k related discord, banning nerds would reduce population like 99%
I said some nerds
Mostly the cringe unfunny ones repeating memes in the wrong channels from lame jokes made before they were born
I beg of thee, spare us

Please, we have been good kidz haven't we ?
Do we know what is in the Tox Flamers 's canister ?
‘uv mods
‘uv Obese Megaladon
‘uv lore
‘ate cringe memes
simple as
Are Sensei and the Star Child still relevant/canon ?

They're in that limbo zone
Of technically never retconmned but also never mentioned
GW following up on a plot thread challenge (impossible)
Not retcon'd but basically all but, they dropped that a long time ago
Last question before I go to sleep
What would be the best character class possibilities if FS made a Tide game where you have Eldar characters ? Like 2 Eldar, 2 Dark Eldar and either an Harlequin or a Exodite
i demand a shadowseer or even solitaire, but we'd likely just get a troupe member
If DE are teaming up with craftworld (and harlequins) it'd have to be Ynnead
Meaning the DE would be uhhh
Whatever 2 unit you can run with Ynnead are. I forget
Painseers or something?
Tyranids > all
Incubi and...
Oh, they've actually got a bigger roster than I thought.
Probably Venom or a Wych. Probably a Wych
Tyr as enemy maybe ?
The Eldar would likely bring their Psyker
Warlock iirc
SMs as an enemy to make the fanboys cry
Since if we're going the Ynnead route, the eldar are 100% capable of handling SMs in droves. Especially with a harlequin
Imperium as enemy would be sweet, rarely seen approach
but yeah, SMs and Guard would make for an interesting enemy to spice things up
Isn't the Venom a vehicle?
Yes, it is
I am dumb
I do not play eldar. My partner does, and she only plays quins

I don't have a strong knowledge of 40k lore. Would a Space Marines chapter step on the toes of an inquisition? Or even attempt to stop one?
Unfortunately, GW wants to make games which make money
Officially, no
And the four Ynnari fans out there aren’t gonna finance that game
Why would an Eldar against IoM not make money !
so what part of the Inquisition are we working for in Darktide?
Eldar winning vs SMs = angy nerds
Any Space Marine hater would buy it to dunk on them
Yes all ten of them
You see, they are far outnumbered
SMs sell more on TT that like... half the other factions combined
Who are the other 9 ?
Of that half left, most of them are still imperium players
At the end of the day SM sales outsell all the other factions combined
like a sub ordo? ordo ragtagistratum?
Is that counting CSM too or not even with those ?
And that's just TT, SM boner is even harder in video games
Hereticus, Malleus, Xenos
Is there a higher authority than the inquisition that would intercede to stop things?
That's not counting CSM
Hereticus is cults and heeerics and shit
Yes. 2.
Malleus is daemons
Anathema Psykana and Adeptus Custodes
So it could be either sorta
But most likely Hereticus
There is overlap between the three main ones as well
tcdhnically also the GK like... or on-rank withj the inquisition IIRC
Custodes are like the end all be all of space marines, yeah?
Oh damn
But still, SM are kind of the gateway, most people who have multiple armies have a SM on too
But the inquisition just never fucks with the GKs because that's a bad idea
Custodes aren't SMs at all, actually. Though they are transhuman supersoldiers
Custodes are Diet Primarch
a single custodian is worth, what was it
Personally I think it’s kind of cringe to make fun of people for their faction preferences and just let everyone enjoy what they’re going to enjoy about the fan base
A chapter of marines?
But I would be happy with any good 40 K games which we seem to be getting a lot of recently
How come the grey knights have such low numbers, weren’t they formed before the codex astartes?
Oh, I have nothing against people liking SMs. It's just that a lot of them are the HAHA KRIEG SHOVEL types
Hi attrition rate and then the trials to become one of the hardest amongst all chapters
Okay so I'm super out of the loop, has there been any official updates on IG getting a 9th edition codex? I remember hearing about leaks
They are made by very difficult rituals and are supposed to be kept secret
Also potential aspirants who can become gray nights are rarer than any other chapter as well
yes
lsat week or so
I’m using text to speech right now so apologies if some of the stuff I say comes across a little funky blame text to speech
Finally, fingers crossed catachans get love
If I had to bet money I would’ve been a lot that we’re gonna get some kind of cosmetic for them especially considering we already have a sword referencing them in the game
Also, gods I hope a catachan IG shows up in darktide as a class one day
The thing is that in the video game sphere, that number weighs towards SM even more.
Wouldn't make sense as a Class
It almost certainly wouldn’t be a class but will probably get some kind of cosmetic
The classes are being built to be pretty generic and far-reaching
do we know if the insurrection on Atoma Prime is just nurgle, chaos undivided, or are we fighting a nurgle cult and there are other cults for other gods that we aren't fighting?
But we might get like a guard brawler or something which could fit in with the general feel of them
Brawler would be a good Catachan like class for Vet
Atm only Nurgle and Xenos (Darktide)
xenos?
Nurglite Xenos
Chaos Worshipping Xenos
ahh
But vague enough to let any progression happen as needed
neat
it could be funny to have a krieger brawler that's only here because he attacked a commissar for cowardice
You wouldn't have a Krieger unless they put more planets in the selection (Could happen, but not Likely)
Krieg and other named regiment would be cosmetics, either for the Vet or for all
And Krieger don't kill that many Commissars
Heck, even Commissar don't kill that many Guardsmen
Catachans are the real commissar killers
I just need to be able to look like the goat himself, sly marbo
That would be wasting the Emperors resources
That's the only cosmetic I need to be happy
Vostroyan First born for the best drip
I mean incompetent officers are the real ones wasting Big Es resources
But Vostroyan are drippy
the "goat" I mean lmao, I haven't seen him pick up more than like a few odd points of damage and die in months
Ridley Catachan is cool too
I honestly think all of them are so cool in concept, their models just have faces that look melted
Everyone knows female space marines are canon
I've considered going in and modeling my own to 3d print
But I'm lazy and that takes time and effort, 2 things an IG army already devours
Btw I thought bolters were too big to be wielded by humans, why can guardsmen wield bolters?
It's one of the ones designed for humans
Ish?
They have smaller bolters for Sisters of Battle that are weaker. Full size, SM bolters are too big and the kick will literally break limbs
A bolter is a rapid fire gernade launcher with semi homing gernade/bullets. No one but SM+ can handle that
Yeah I can see that it's a smaller one but I was expecting like an explaination cause this is #40k-lore-chat
explanation of what?
What you just did
Kk cheers
meanwhile, all these humans using it
For guard they dont have that though, least sister bolters
they're usually mounted
unless you're that one catachan
Sarg. w.e-his-face
But you'll never see guard in mass running around with like, boltguns
why not? It's super effective afaik
bolt pistols are mostly for commissars and officers
Harker I think?
Its not. Like at all.
There is a regiment like that
Bolters aren't good?
Thats like having an army IRL running around one handed with m60s
I don't think that's a good analogy
Which one?
it is based off what I described on how a bolter works
guard dont have power armor
yo what level we get terminator armor at in this game
plus theres the ammo to think of
Ye I can see ammo being an issue but don't you also have ammo with lasguns?
I think it was the Maccabian
Lore wise lasguns have tons of ammo
They still have lasguns
They don’t use boltguns standard
They’re lasguns
Power cell but you can recharge them everywhere
That look like ‘em
Oki doki
I though they used Bolters
No
They’re lasguns modeled to look like bolters
They’re religious fanatics
They wana look like the emperors angels
Las guns can even be charged by a campfire, as funny as that sounds
Wait what
but are unreliable
Yep
It hurts the lifespan
But if you’re in a pinch fire works
^
That's funny lol
Praise the sun I guess
Or just run around with a Lascanon and enjoy your DBZ Kamehamehas
With some difficulty at times
Or Jurgen's Melta
I find hilarious how a specific pattern feature became a widely feature of power packs lol
the single most overpowered weapon in 40k
It wasn't over powered in eternal crusade 😦
;.;
RIP my beloved
Guess the packs we see have secret solar panels inside them lol
Our packs in game don’t really work like the lore lol
They should have way more ammo
But it’s whatever
It’s better for gameplay this way
They are actually quite lore friendly
It is people not knowing that only certain packs can be recharged via solar power that isn't lore friendly
Unless we use our lasguns on higher power setting. To compensate the fact that we can't form a Wall of Gun
I mean yeah
Don't we just pick up more power cells when taking ammo tins?
But the ammo capacity of our packs is a bit low
Prolly
Or to be more precise, it is people claiming that power packs can be recharged in all the ways that were said here that isn't how lore work
Still feels a bit weird
You can absolutely charge a lasgun power pack with a fire
It’s in the codex
Plot powerpack 🙂
Lol
As long as you don't put it too close its fine, otherwise it become a Hotshot or something
Some can, because it depend on how they are made and how they store energy
Also you could use a charged powerpack as a grenade but that’s a terrible idea
Since you’ll be down a powerpack
Come across a dead friend, proceed to take his powerpack, give it to ogyrn, ogyrn throw it in horde, shoot it
The ones Cadians and Catachans use standard can according to the new codex
Tell the tech priest it was the ogyrn idea
😂
Lol
Should a Hellgun get heat mechanics ? To compensate the greater ammo
Hellgun should just limit your mobility
You got the dang backpack on
It’s heavy
Unless we’re using a hellgun pack
In which that case yeah overheat works
I still haven't got my hands on it, so dunno if they retconnected that, but not all power packs can be charged that way...
So should it be a normal weapon or a Class mechanic?
Would be the only reasonable way to implement it
Zealot get the thunder hammer class limited, make sense that Vet get a ranged one
Shovel being limited to vet should be a meme, not the sad reality
Wait vet don't have any class limited weapon?
Zealot Preacher has Flamer and Hammer
It has plasma and shovel
Vet had shovel and Plasma
kk
I'd gladly figure it out myself but my game doesn't want to go past the "queue" so...
But imho it should have two ranged weapons limited to it
But in the prologue as a Psyker I had a shovel, not sure if normal or not
Oh, wait, i just remembered that they nerfed ranged too in this beta, yeah, scrap what i said about vet getting two ranged weapons limited to its archetype
I think the weapon lock is a bit dumb
Like the Zealot and the Vet should not have any in-between each other
But the Psyker shouldn't get the heavier ones
Like Guardsmen still use Flamers for example
For some weapons yeah, like, why the hell the shovel would be limited to vet? But an eviscerator i can see it being limited only to the most crazy (and fanatical, although it is synonim for crazy) people
If anything. Maybe some weapon pattern that would be class locked. Like the Laspistol on psyker has a variant that has the force push and other that are shared who have normal stuff
Ogryn has a big shovel as an option
Semi wish this took place in M.42
It does
Ah thx
laspistol on veteran is dope af
Haven’t seen a dreg bomber yet
I’ve seen so many
What does the dreg bomber do that’s dif
Wait is that not the guy that throws fire grenades
That’s the scab bomber
If not then no I’ve seen 0 as well
Oof
Get pranked
No it isn’t
Lol
But I think it’s cool that the cultists and the Moebian sixth have
Distinct equipment and stuff
Random question, what is the least lore-friendly part of Darktide
Prolly the fact we can take so much damage
Yeah I cant argue with that tho
Us needing to reload lasguns so often
I guess lol
Charge pack should be good for more shots
^
So that can be considered like
The most video game "moment"
Still funny as fuck tho
my friend was like
"AAA I'M GETTING VORED NOOOOO"
yes
And flesh to rot off
Well i was just curious so I could yell that The God-Emperor blessed me so I can do insert innacurate thing
And that's the point
Thought it would be funny
The emprah blessed you, your purpose get vored by beast of nurgle
truly an awful fate
Correct
The fact that the loner Psyker hasn’t been executed is a pretty big uh
Well it’s unlikely
Not impossible
But unlikely
True, isnt he sanctioned?
ye
Stuff they say
The other psykers are whatever
But the loner is just straight up a heretic
^
And that's why I love him
He’s basically the poster boy for “worst candidate ever” for sanctioned psykers
Beyond just being completely corrupted
Yeah
If he could friendly fire the brain blast, 110% he would
Mentally deranged,says blasphemy, barely follows orders
I guess like
They at least listen to orders lol
But still
Being sent to a corrupted hellhole full of all sorts of heretics and monsters who could use him for ill
The Ogryn is the only true loyal one
And the Inquisitor can do what he pleases
He doesnt know how not to be loyal
Ohhhhhh
it is neat the way it happens is an ambiguous enough situation for it to be genuine loyalty or just not wanting to die, because even if they had their disagreements with the imperium the nurglites looked like they were gonna kill whoever they found on board not already explicitly in their cult
The Imperial Fists still canonically eat their own poop as an initiation ritual.
The Ian Watson books have been declared non canon ages ago so no.

a 40k book got approved with that in it in the past?
Literally the first books ever for 40k
And they were done basically by a guy who wrote uh..."high class" smut
Fetish stuff
so how high is Zola's rank exactly?
She is an Explicator
so like
Explicator - The first step of an Inquisitor in training, they learn how to extract information using torture under the direction of their mentor Inquisitor.
so very very high
interesting, i would've thought she would be a full inquisitor, especially considering her age
I think shes a rogue trader
the mourningstar has the RG logos around on the front banners
It was referenced in material from 2019
And that reference was?
the psyker's beloved is the emperor isn't it
Generally interrogators and soon to be Inquisitors are pretty young.
They select who has the aptitude for it pretty quick, Eisenhorn I think was in his thirties when he became a full Inquisitor.
Ravenor was similar.
Its just the jump from Interrogator to Inquisitor is dangerous as hell and hard to do, as we see from this brief snippet where she nearly dies in the line of duty, and she's not even an interrogator yet.
Is the suggestion in the "Who am I cinematic" that this is happening over multiple instances and that Grendyl is adopting different faces, including what looks like to me an ogryn? or that there are different inquisitors?
I don't think any of the faces used are Grendyl.
Seems like a classic "hide the face and voice" Inquisitorial whatsit.
so the former. gotcha
Yeah hes just remaining anonymous
Likely the former. I doubt an Ogryn could be an Inquisitor.
Along with that, they seem to somewhat mimic what could very well be certain archetypes of the individuals in there. When they ask "Who am I" while using all these different faces, it could be that Grendyl is trying to make the viewers "relate", especially the specific wording of "Who am I" instead of "Who are You"
i hope we get to know more of the NPCs' backstories especially Marrow and Zola
is it bad I chuckled at this
Haha we're all gonna get executed aren't we
More like I rolled my eyes at it
So not a big fan of the drip being locked behind really tough challenges but since it is how the heck am i supposed to kill a mutant while charging?
knock it off a ledge i guess
Is there anything that can be done for this poor servitor at this point
Wdym hes here to help you poor rejects
it says "while dashing kill a mutant with a melee attack" i dont even know if thats possible
I got flamer at lvl 12 but what lvl is the thunder hammer or bolt gun?
sorry but general chat is at a half hour cooldown which is just insulting. does anyone know what +1 wounds does
Also I think that mutant charge kill is bugged cause I tried it so many times and it didn’t count
apparently wounds r like downs i guess. this game is an enigma.
i legit think our weapons are powered ork style by belief.
Its what they were called in Vermintide 2 as well, its a common thin.
Clear wounds with heals
And all that
ya i just had no way of finding out until a homie told me
The health bar gets an extra bar, which gives you an extra down state. That is pretty important for later levels when you have less downs available to you, or you are going for grimoires
cuz im ignorant
u know
extra health is big big huge
currently I have discovered that dashing backwards is much superior to sprinting
the emperor protects
does anyone know what emperors gifts r tied to or is it just random? legit really want some pants
and i hope lorepeople dont mind the spillover i can talk lore inbetween shitposting
Hmmm
do the Adepta Sororitas have any modifications done to them or are they just highly skilled people in power armor
It appears to be very mild. Just plug ports
both
some like being pure
some lose an arm etc
@odd palm don't need plug ports for power armor
You might be thinking of the interface for the black carapace
Sororitas, and the Ecclesiarchy writ large, tend to not get along with the Mechanicus (small matter of faith)
So, in response, the latter.
Nevermind, I'm wrong. Turns out, GW retconned this 3 years ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/cgfoti/sob_now_have_ports_for_their_power_armour/

Thank god, when did this happen?
I don’t believe it’s possible. Also who’s dash? Mine or the mutants? Good luck killing a mini boss in one hit…
Very mild gene therapy some times, mostly just well trained nuns with guns and armor
What I like the most
Mourningstar by warhammer standard is a TINY wessel
The ones you are getting in Battlefleet Gothic for free. Not even a ship - escort boat
Yeah I wasn’t sure so I checked the lex XD
My SoB knowledge is......lacking
I wish we could get the nundum mechs
I actually couldn't place the class.
It has the swept sleek prow of a Dauntless, but it has torp tubes
Only escort with that type of prow and torps are Cobras, but those only have 4 torp tubes and a much more angular prow + no port/starboard weapons batteries
Propulsion suggests escort too, since it lacks the massive hexagon engine array of capital ships
I'm not convinced it's an existing class
Oh wait, Dauntless class could replace their prow lances with prow torps couldn't they?
But that's still the wrong engine array
Check that engine array
Sword Class from the looks of it.
Or at least based on the same chassis.
I've heard some people say Firestorm due to the broadside batteries but it doesn't have the big underslung lance.
It could be a modified sword
Something based off that chassis seems to be the case. With neither the full broadside of the Sword nor the lance of the Firestorm. Instead it's got missile tubes on the prow and a observation/comms section underneath
Considering it's associated with an Inquisitor, if even just by being owned by an underling of an Inquisitor for the purposes of containing all the Rejects, I'd imagine it may be a customized vessel, unique to this game
That's my take too.
It isn't one of the existing classes to my knowledge, but the lore has given us variants specific to different sectors before, like the Turbulent Class Frigate.
I think it shouldn't be too hard to replicate it in the Rogue Trader ruleset. Looks like it has a Hangar Bay and Macrocannon mounting on the dorsal mounts, and Torpedos on the prow.
So this is REALLY neat. All of the enemies, even the lowly mobs, have location-specific armor.
If their model looks like it has armor, it's armored. But you can shoot like, a las mob's thigh where it's just uniform and no flak and he takes unarmored damage.
That is seriously cool attention to detail.
a thought arises regarding ships that the 40k classes are sort of hopeless to look on as uniform in any way other than statline convenience for Battlefleet Gothic, and as being yoked to the vagaries of 'standard,' IE A-class ship should have X engine array, Y arms, Z armor layout, or even moreso the vague Age of Sail standards of for example 'this be a Ship o' the Line, it's big an it go on the line'; historical naval dickery spits on the hope of a true standard across long build & design times, with ships of the same nominal class, even built in parallel in the same production batch in the same clutch of slipways, having differing layouts of arms, armor or machinery
that's before one gets into the wonderful world of delayed builds into redesigns, or post-launch corrections to the design of following vessels, or into post-launch naval refits, where say a junk old battleship too expensive and important on the battleline to just scrap or mothball gets its machinery gutted, armor belts rebuilt, and guns replaced & supplemented with MORE guns where nobody thought to put secondary and tertiary guns before
OR gets into the fuckery of stretching this cycle of naval building & rebuilding over ten millenia, especially when the wheel keeps getting re/deinvented (the odd bigass one-off ships from 30k era already bear the icebreaker ram/locomotive cowcatcher, while conversely Chaos sticks quite happily to and continually develops the effective but hopelessly anachronic firepower focused spade/arrowhead hull that technically still exist mothballed in Imperial service, Grand Cruisers for example) with a dash of techno-schizophrenia
the ship is a ship of Imperial escort scale, adhering somewhere close to the standards of probably the Sword class, but either being a rebuild or a keel-up overarmed redraft, which may or may not have a name
the devs should probably give it a blurb with its class name and the originating class, if only to silence me
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
big inquisitorial shippies
like, half-forgotten, scribbled blueprinties, you know
with big inquisition milkies inside
actually, while we're at it, I'll throw my hat in the ring and say it's based on none of the ships proposed, it's a claymore, this lad
it's quite stumpy; fat around the middle, with the mid-fuselage coming close to merging with the prow and the wingdings coming about halfway forward like our Mourningstar, which seems to gut some of the broadside for hangar space, adds torps, replaces the A-position turret with some sort of top deck or bay, while the Sword-
is really very skinny amidships with a huge underprow gap, longer in the nose- the Mourningstar seems between them in proportion- and less disproportion as far as the wings, if only because the whole ships' longer
it's one of the weemost Imperial escorts, fits the straight stacked double-decker engine profile better than the Swords' slightly more offset lower engine, the citadel (command tower) looks about right and so does the general proportion of ship aft of the citadel
claymore, but gutted for attack craft bays and torpedoes
i think it is a ship that go brr
As I rise into the morning
I notice that we, the Lore Chat, remain free
And I may breathe a little easier for the day

We remain free for the oppression of the Imperium
I AM A WARRIOR
This is the same reason I hate tank nerds
Its just a ship.
Putting more thought into it than any of the designers did probably.
Especially because its a Inquisition ship so its probably custom as fuck.
Lmao yeah like it doesnt matter at the end of the day
almost any imperium ship pretty much looks the same
unless its like the size of cannon placements or whatever 
Any ship as big and powerful as the plot demand
I really like the ships that have elevators that can be throw out of them like it is part of its design honestly
"Can it broadside the everloving warp out of the xenos?"
"Yes? Good enough for me"
- lord commander solar Macharius
🤝
Yea it only has the two forward batteries in the intro I think
Small ship for 40k but it works for flitting about to fight Chaos
What do we think Grendyl is? Did that old Dark Heresy copypasta finally get merc’d and now he’s a talking Servitorso?
I assume he’s an Inquisitor
The talking Servitor was to keep him anonymous
Kinda odd to be an anon inquisitor
They like to flash that Rosette
I guess Zola could be the Inquisitor all sneaky like
Well Inqui are very varied, and each operate how they wanna
Inside a Cabal I'd say that usually they work in similar ways
Also we’re the chaff of the chaff
He doesn’t need to show himself to us and also there’s a lot of good reasons he wouldn’t
Speak for you, I AM A WARRIOR
or you know it's 40k and nobody gives a shit what anybody else thinks about anything

I though you fled
Nah, i stopped caring about the game, i don't run away, i at max stop being much active
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
… It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
So why is it that the pysker/zealot refer to the veteran as a Templar? (Not sure if it was discussed before just joined the server)
And then 8 foot power armored super super soldiers triple backflipped, landed and proceeded to machine gun punch chaos 24/7
||some failing imperium on the "brink of destruction"||
Plot Armor does that.
the imperium was at its best as a man hanging off a figurative seaside cliff edge
you had chaos stepping on his fingers, tyranids knawing at him and orks kicking the remaining ones.
he was gonna fall into the ocean but the enjoyment was watching him hold on.
now it looks like the man backflipped up onto the cliffside, magically grew into an 8 foot tall powerhouse, split into 3 clones and began machine gun punching the aforementiomed enemies.
insert bigger batman here
any active codes for the game to input into the site yet?
40k will never end, Chaos needs the war to continue
It’s always been both
It’s how factions are in 40k
The Imperium can both be teetering on the edge and a huge force in the galaxy still
The Eldar are a “dying race” who still have billions upon billions of people, and some of the most OP tech in the galaxy.
For every Space Marine who does some crazy thing there’s hundreds of worlds burning because they can’t reach them or they’re spread thin on all fronts.
Most new books during the Indomitus, hell the game Darktide, out in the forefront how lacking in supplies and spread thin everyone is.
Atoma Prime in an ideal era would have had the rebellion crushed easily, but it’s a far from ideal era.
And you have a linchpin world in a genuinely valuable sector unable to call any aid beyond an Inquisitor sending in ragtag convicts who are growing thinner and thinner everyday.
Just because Guilliman does some crazy thing doesn’t mean the Imperium isn’t on the edge, Guilliman is only ever in one place. And he can barely hold half the Imperium which is left together.
This has been my TEDTalk.
Why do they say that Hadron acts unusual?
Really? I’d assume they were all pretentious in some way lol
Or not so outright in their pretentiousness
It depends but generally they’re just detached
Unemotional
Not really concerned with the meat sacks
Wild
Can someone give me the TLDR on what's happening in the timeline wiht this game story? Like we aren't spacemarines we are convicts but this seems like we are fighting something important so how does that work?
World we’re on is a linchpin world in the sector we’re in
There are no other options
The Inquisitor in charge has decided in a last ditch effort to send in us to try to stem the tide
the real question is what happened back on komlar
Space Marines are absurdly rare
And Indomitus has made them spread even thinner than they would be already
And in this case, even the normal guard can’t be called in it seems
So basically, regiment got corrupted by Chaos, Nurgle specifically
They came back home and are taking over the world with other Nurgle elements
The lower hive specifically
We’re being sent into to try to make it not escalate as much as we can
Because if Atoma Prime falls, the entire sector probably follows.
Inquisition handles issues on worlds that are 'safe' relatively. Astartes and Imperial Guard/Scions/Sororitas whatever are meant to fight full on wars, where Tertium is in Imperial Control and is one hive on a world otherwise in Imperial control. As we see in many missions the Guard on the planet and PDF are fighting and holding the line, and our mission is to kill the worst of the infection so we can retake the city and pacify it.
Were Tertium to fall you'd likely see a full campaign a-la Vraks to take it back, which would be murderous in terms of men lost at a time the Imperium has less and less troops to spare.
You wouldn’t because there is no one
That’s the issue
The Inquisitor would be calling in regiments of guard if he could
He can’t because there’s no one to call
The guard is very clearly there
Multiple missions have russ tanks and infantry holding your spawn zone
Not enough
There’s no one coming
That’s the premise
It’s why we’re being sent in
They’re desperate
Indomitus has bled everyone dry of reinforcements
Plus the rift opening, and the Imperium being shattered
Indomitus is not claiming new worlds
He is desesperate to do it quickly
It’s taking them back
Eventually maybe they could get someone but it would be too late
And probably would never happen
The entire Imperium is all hands on deck
Also is there local IG or just PDF ?
Seems to be IG
Some Inquisition troops too
But it’s probably a mix
We see the local forces try to fix the issue in the audio messages from pre launch
The one we see are Inquisition troops
But I remember something about more important forces fighting outside the hive
And we help support them
There’s a larger conflict for sure
But the point is that they’re losing and it’s why we’re being called in
If the Inquisitor had other forces to call he would
For whatever reason they’re unable to get anyone else and we’re what they’re have to use now
It’s already in the stage where they would normally call in a shitton of Imperium forces is my point
But because the times it takes place in, they can’t for whatever reason
Hi, is there a solution to the problem when a character does not gain experience after a mission?
wrong chat
I’m not aware of that happening in 40k lore
Sure but I’ve played a lot of 40k RPGs
And we always get our exp
Seems like a plot hole
I did have a Dark heresy group where we lost most of our stuff and had to get them back
- getting Psyker lock of our psyker to make her useful again
So, technically one can have a member of the mechanicus as part of an inquisitorial retinue. The mechanicus individual won't be happy about it and his peers will most likely think less of him for it but it is possible.
And the mechanicus can commit crimes.
No, it’s insanely common
And they won’t think less
Like, every single retinue will have one likely at least it run the ship or whatever
Every vessel needs a member of the mechanicus on it for it to function well. I'm on about part of the personal retinue or as an acolyte or something along those lines.
While every ship has Tech Priest and other member of the Admech
Yeah.
Acolyte in the Inquisition aren't technically part of the Admech anymore
This is correct.
They kind of are inbetween 2 chairs
It’s not uncommon for either, and being a part of the ship is basically being in a retinue.
Like for example
Which is why the mechanicus don't like when mechanicus people do it.
So still under the perview of the Cult but somewhat more independent
There is a significant distinction.
A space marine can be in an Inquisitors retinue
They can yes.
He’s not an acolyte
This is correct.
