they dont no, ofc that law is largely toothless as most shrine worlds have a PDF just like all the other worlds in the imperium, but zealots are not an actual part of the ecclesiarchy they are just local extreamists

hollow lantern
#

Which Ordos does Grendyl belong to?

#

Hereticus?

crimson dragon
#

We'd be fucked

#

Four regular humans against a great unclean one

hollow lantern
#

Not if he can't waddle his fatass through doorways we aren't

crimson dragon
#

Yeah no

crimson dragon
arctic talon
hollow lantern
#

That's what I figured

crimson dragon
arctic talon
#

They also prolly hate Ordo malleus

hollow lantern
#

That voiceline one of the classes has "I wonder if the other ordos are as pro active as we are in fighting threats" or whatever

#

And my mind goes to Deathwatch

#

Like you got no idea

woeful bloom
#

guys wtf is a daemonhost and why do they sleep in powerless areas

hollow lantern
#

It's a body used to host daemons

woeful bloom
#

wat kind of daemon

#

is it a tzeentch

crimson dragon
#

Its a nurgle

hollow lantern
#

Nurgle daemon most likely

crimson dragon
#

Daemon

woeful bloom
#

neat

crimson dragon
#

I want a daemon engine

#

To fight as a boss

hollow lantern
#

For what it's worth, anything that gets added is a safe bet to be nurgle

crimson dragon
#

Or a daemon possessed servitor

hollow lantern
#

I just want a horde of nurglings boss

woeful bloom
#

what are the odds we will fight a great unclean one as a boss

hollow lantern
#

Slim to none

woeful bloom
#

welp

hollow lantern
#

If a GUO is on world the Grey Knights are around

#

Not us

#

That's a well beyond fucked type of situation

storm jungle
hollow lantern
#

Tyty

storm jungle
#

the characters mention it

woeful bloom
#

are daemonhosts stronger than nurgle beasts and plague ogryns?

crimson dragon
#

Yo I want a medicae station to have a daemon possessing it so when you go up to it and heal, it will instead attack you

hollow lantern
crimson dragon
#

That'd be a neat

#

Addition

storm jungle
#

the ogryn uh

#

was asking the "Is Big E a god" question

#

and the female vet went that they are working for Hereticus

#

they'd shoot him for such casual questions like that

hollow lantern
#

And we should stop before we all get shot

#

Yeah lmao

storm jungle
#

Lmao yep

#

i think thats the "Level up and the dialogue changes" thing

#

i got 50 hours and NEVER heard it before

hollow lantern
#

So that's how it works

#

I've been noticing that

storm jungle
#

I THINK so

#

with the amount of detail in the game i kinda doubted it would be a feature they promised and never implemented KEK

crimson dragon
#

I think the people there would understand that the ogryn is dumb so they're more understanding

#

Unless maybe not

hollow lantern
#

I really want a table or tree of the character builder and how it affects your dialogue

#

Like what's the difference between the two shrine worlds

woeful bloom
#

how powerful is a daemonhost compared to the other two bosses

hollow lantern
#

Or what does Incron do

storm jungle
#

same

hollow lantern
storm jungle
#

If you mean gameplay wise uh

#

pretty much just as bullet-spongey as the others

woeful bloom
#

lore wise

storm jungle
#

lorewise yeah it depends

woeful bloom
#

yeah the bosses are bullet sponge nothing new

#

whatever class of daemonhost this thing is in game

hollow lantern
#

Honestly they don't feel that spongey to me

dusk patrol
#

It can be as powerful or not powerful as you want

#

And tbh, its kinda like the beast of nurgle.

woeful bloom
#

they definitely are for the boss killing missions

dusk patrol
#

Should we be dead?

woeful bloom
#

with that stupid shield spam

dusk patrol
#

Probably

hollow lantern
#

Probably

hollow lantern
dusk patrol
#

But technically we might just be that good or be fighting some shitty version.

hollow lantern
#

We're "heros" of some sort

dusk patrol
#

Absurdly lucky

#

And best in class

woeful bloom
hollow lantern
#

Not like Solar Mach or Cain, but we're up there

dusk patrol
#

We're exceptional in our class basically.

hollow lantern
#

The Ogryn is a Nork Deddog type

#

So on so forth

woeful bloom
#

the ogryn isn't dumb in this game lmao

#

immersion broken

hollow lantern
#

I mean

#

They are

dusk patrol
#

They're definitely all above average

woeful bloom
#

he functionally has the same intelligence as the other classes which is bizarre to me

arctic talon
#

The ogryn is smarter then average

#

And a bone’ead

crimson dragon
#

The ogryn in game is probably a special kind of ogryn

dusk patrol
#

And I think they all do have lines for being bon'eads

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crimson dragon
#

Its a bonehead

woeful bloom
#

yeah they're boneheads

hollow lantern
woeful bloom
#

but I'm not buying for one second that the darktide ogryn is dumb

crimson dragon
#

Boneheads can use good guns

storm jungle
#

The only bonehead is the "YES SUH" one

dusk patrol
#

Funnily enough I think they get the bon'ead lines as you progress.

crimson dragon
dusk patrol
#

The other two

#

Because I've now heard the bodyguard use lines which implies he's a bon'ead.

woeful bloom
#

not counting this darktide variant

crimson dragon
dusk patrol
#

Also like

#

They're not booksmart

crimson dragon
#

So they have the uhh intelligence of an 8 year old

#

Maybe

dusk patrol
#

But they're very competent in combat

plush mason
#

ye

dusk patrol
#

They have good instincts

woeful bloom
#

yeah the 'dumbest' thing about them is they struggle with words

dusk patrol
#

They're good bodyguards for a reason.

woeful bloom
#

which even the veteran does lmao

hollow lantern
#

Professional and Cutthroat do not

woeful bloom
#

neat

crimson dragon
#

Cutthroad sounds just like a professional

#

Except hes from cadia

hollow lantern
#

Yes

crimson dragon
#

Or she

woeful bloom
#

does professional sound like a cutthroat

crimson dragon
#

All veterans voice actors sound the same

#

Just different tones

hollow lantern
#

Loose Cannon is Scottish

woeful bloom
#

I wish the french voice wasn't exclusive to psykers

#

it's so good

hollow lantern
#

The other two are British

crimson dragon
woeful bloom
#

idk there's like shit tons of hive worlds any qualifies

#

pretty much everyone has a euro accent

crimson dragon
#

I know space germany is either between Krieg and Armageddon

hollow lantern
#

Tbh

#

Krieg are closer to French then German

arctic talon
hollow lantern
#

Going by doctrine and tactics and look

crimson dragon
hollow lantern
#

That's it

arctic talon
#

British gas mask, French uniform, German helmet

crimson dragon
#

They have alot of german names

#

Rather than french

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

woeful bloom
#

which one is polish

crimson dragon
#

Like colonel jurten

crimson dragon
#

I forgot

hollow lantern
#

DA have black knights and they kinda have Hussar wings

crimson dragon
#

Something something winged hussars

hollow lantern
#

Vostroyan Firstborn are Slavic

#

As are Valhallan Ice Warriors

crimson dragon
#

Valhallan ice warriors make me believe them to be finnish

#

Maybe russian too i guess

arctic talon
#

They’re based on the red army

#

During WW2

crimson dragon
#

They both have russian and finnish naming styles

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Also the exclusive character they used to have

#

That let you spam free conscripts

crimson dragon
#

Armageddon and Krieg are both german because of naming styles

arctic talon
#

Chenkov was a very well thought out unit rules wise and not unfun what so ever

crimson dragon
#

I base them off the names of notable people

arctic talon
#

Morrow is from Armageddon

hollow lantern
#

Armageddon are ww2 Germany in doctrine, I find

#

Spam out the heavy tanks

arctic talon
#

Ye

#

They’re based on the Africa campaign

hollow lantern
#

Yeye

arctic talon
#

Both British and German elements

#

But leaning into Germans military doctrine wise

crimson dragon
#

Morrow is like an old german word for tomorrow isnt it?

arctic talon
#

I think?

#

Not sure

hollow lantern
#

That's old English

#

Not old German

crimson dragon
#

Well old english is germanic

#

Doesnt matter los

hollow lantern
#

Old English is a lot of shit

arctic talon
#

Armageddon players on their way to spam a chimera for every fucking squad

crimson dragon
#

Old english atleast is better than modern english with a fuck ton of influence from french

hollow lantern
arctic talon
#

Comedy

#

Ngl I wish tempestus scion armies got access to more heavy armor

#

They only get the Taurox Prime

crimson dragon
#

Id say valhalla is space finland cause its winter but im guessing everything there is based off of the winter war

arctic talon
#

Ye

#

Also some WW2 stuff

#

Like attrition based tactics

crimson dragon
#

Vostroya remind me of 1917 white russia

arctic talon
#

They’re supposed to

crimson dragon
#

Or tsarist russia i mean

arctic talon
#

They’re tsarist Russia + a general Slavic influence

crimson dragon
#

Yea

#

I wonder what kind of ig regiments exist in a world called byzantium

hollow lantern
#

I can't think of many instances where guard don't boil down to "both sides of X war"

crimson dragon
#

Theres a world called byzantium

arctic talon
#

Harkoni War Hawks are sorta American sorta just modern NATO themed

crimson dragon
#

Lemme guess the hive city nane

hollow lantern
#

Catachans are Vietnam

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crimson dragon
#

Constantinople

crimson dragon
arctic talon
#

Catachans are Vietnam + a general like

#

Action movie

crimson dragon
#

Vietnam isnt the only place with jungles

#

Id say its space south east asians

hollow lantern
#

Nah, they're very Rambo First Blood

arctic talon
#

They’re based on Rambo movies

#

Primarily

hollow lantern
#

They're super American 80s action heros

crimson dragon
#

Lol

hollow lantern
#

Sly Marbo's gun is based on Snake Plissken iirc

arctic talon
#

Sly Marbo is a Rambo rip off lul

#

But he’s great

hollow lantern
#

Straken is just a terminator

crimson dragon
#

Marbo is an anagram for rambo

hollow lantern
#

Yup

crimson dragon
#

Sly rambo

#

Sly marbo

hollow lantern
#

But the gun specifically is Snake Plisskens

sly zephyr
#

Tallarn desert raiders are based of lawrence of arabia

crimson dragon
#

We need a catachan backstory for veteran

hollow lantern
#

And they're badass

crimson dragon
#

We need more planet backstories other than cadia

#

Why can cadia be our homeworld in the game

hollow lantern
#

Cadia just makes the most sense as to why they would be displaced

crimson dragon
#

But not the other famous onrs

#

Why?

hollow lantern
#

It's gone?

crimson dragon
#

Is moebian close to the gothic sector?

hollow lantern
#

The world is literally gone

crimson dragon
#

Yeah still

hollow lantern
#

Cadians are scattered across the universe

crimson dragon
#

They're scattered throughout the galaxy

sly zephyr
#

Catachan is like Vietnam and Australia wildlife

crimson dragon
#

Not universe

#

And refugees would go to the nearest planet

#

Imo

hollow lantern
#

They're not really refugees

crimson dragon
#

Only 3 million cadians escaped as well

hollow lantern
#

They're all still trained soldiers

#

Being born on Cadia was being born into the Military

crimson dragon
#

Yea

sly zephyr
#

Yep

crimson dragon
#

Still 3 million people escaped

storm jungle
#

also the biggest reason is

crimson dragon
#

The fall of cadia

hollow lantern
#

And you're one of em

storm jungle
#

Cadia is the most marketable one

crimson dragon
#

I dont like cadia

storm jungle
#

theres a reason no other regiments really sell and are discontinued

hollow lantern
#

Love Cadia

storm jungle
#

minus krieg

#

because wehraboos

#

kek

crimson dragon
#

Not wehraboo

hollow lantern
crimson dragon
#

Wehraboos would like armageddon too

hollow lantern
#

They get a lot of characters rn

storm jungle
#

Look

#

Catachan minis rn

sly zephyr
storm jungle
#

are literally

#

from 1894

crimson dragon
hollow lantern
#

They just need a good KT

storm jungle
hollow lantern
#

And they'll be fine

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

yer literally from 1894

#

Got em

crimson dragon
#

Maccabian janissaries are nice too

dusk patrol
hollow lantern
sly zephyr
#

Krieg is just a self made death world I love it

crimson dragon
#

Wehraboos would like Armageddon steel legion more tbh their strat is similar to ww2 germany blitzkrieg

sly zephyr
#

Yea

hollow lantern
#

Wherbs like Krieg cause of the aesthetic

#

It's the helmet

crimson dragon
#

I prefer ww1 aesthetic

#

And victorian era aesthetic

dusk patrol
#

The amount of regiments people want in game for armor

crimson dragon
#

So i tend to like mordian ironguards

#

And praetorian guards

hollow lantern
dusk patrol
#

When we're probably just gonna get like, Krieg, Catachan and Cadia

sly zephyr
#

And the deathkorps of krieg are just suicidal maniacs

crimson dragon
#

And death korps of krieg

dusk patrol
#

MAYBE Elysians, Steel Legion or Mordians

sly zephyr
crimson dragon
hollow lantern
sly zephyr
#

Don't know

crimson dragon
#

You got like Mordian Iron Guard

#

And Praetorian Guard

sly zephyr
#

I'm not sure About the victoria Era

crimson dragon
#

Mordian reminds me of 1860 Prussia

#

Praetorian reminds me of Boer War British

sly zephyr
#

There is also a 1800 British gaurdmen army

crimson dragon
sly zephyr
#

They mostly fight against savage orks

#

Like the zulus

crimson dragon
#

Lol zulu reference

sly zephyr
#

Yep

crimson dragon
#

Mordian fought chaos before

#

In their homeworld

sly zephyr
#

Really

#

I never thought

crimson dragon
#

They became prominent

#

After holding against chaos daemons

#

And cultist

#

Defending a governors palace

sly zephyr
#

I thought they mostly fought primitive orks who rejected the true ork way

crimson dragon
#

With sheer discipline

#

Which reminded me of prussia

plush mason
#

you know, i was really really happy i killed that daemonhost. its friend was not

crimson dragon
#

So they did linebattle tactics

#

Against daemons

#

Mordia is also a shitty planet. Its tidally locked with the sun so you can only live in the middle

sly zephyr
#

Wil the new announced daemon demigod be the new faith chaos god

crimson dragon
#

Its a possessed human, most likely psyker

sly zephyr
#

To replace malail

crimson dragon
#

Oh

#

That

#

Its a greater daemon

sly zephyr
#

The creation chaos god

crimson dragon
#

Thats not a chaos

#

God

#

It doesnt belong to chaos

sly zephyr
#

Oh

crimson dragon
#

Its just a random warp daemon

#

All about creation

#

Who wants to become a god

#

Of creation

#

So he helps the chaos people

#

Reminds me of hashut

#

In fantasy

#

Tbh

#

So i think we might see chaos dwarves votann kin

#

Or something

sly zephyr
#

I mean vashtorr

#

As the new chaos god

crimson dragon
#

He is probably hashut

#

I have an inkling

#

Hashut equivalent

scenic sun
#

Hashut should be a votann that's been corrupted/gone AWOL

sly zephyr
#

Ah

crimson dragon
#

Cause i heard he's a daemon of creation

#

He wants to become a god

#

Or somthing

sly zephyr
#

Yea

#

Abbadon is going to help him

#

To become a new chaos god

#

And perturabo wil probably aline him

crimson dragon
#

He really just reminds me of hashut lol

#

Idk

sly zephyr
#

Since the the iron warriors created daemon engines and daemonaubic

#

I did looked up at daemonculaba and I saw art of it my eyes where kinda cursed

storm jungle
#

god

#

kill me

storm jungle
#

Someone on youtube has done the first kitbash of that

#

they look great, even got that byzantine beard 👌

scenic sun
#

To be fair iron warriors and chaos dwarves are pretty similar

sly zephyr
#

Yea

#

But chaos dwarfs don't make daemon engines

#

Only the glorious Iron warriors

scenic sun
#

They kinda did

sly zephyr
#

Really

scenic sun
#

Hellcannons are literally possessed

sly zephyr
#

I never knew that

#

Oh yeah

scenic sun
#

As an iron warriors fan I respect chaos dwarves a lot

sly zephyr
#

Yes

scenic sun
#

Got into them for a bit, GW clearly got inspiration

sly zephyr
#

Glory to the siege and iron lord perturabo

crimson dragon
#

Perturabo is autistic

storm jungle
#

Chaos Dwarves are basically the Iron Warriors' grandads

#

they were doing this shit WAY back in the day

#

👨‍🦼

sly zephyr
#

Lol

#

Let the daemon engines roaring to the enemy and let the slaves of the false emperor running in fear from our beautiful creation

scenic sun
#

I'm an iron warrior. Yes I am depressed. No I will not admit it. Yes I want to stop digging this trench

sly zephyr
vocal drum
#

if i was a citizen that lived in the 40k universe what happens if i said " F the emperor"

#

would i be executed?

sly zephyr
#

Rorgal dorn is a coward he just hiding behind his fancy walls

Perturabo

hollow lantern
#

If Pert had more walls around him Alexis Polux wouldn't have almost whipped his ass

#

Imagine getting out matched in a fleet battle by a marine

sly zephyr
#

Bruh

woeful bloom
#

how does repeatedly shooting a daemonhost banish it

#

unless that's euphemism for killing it

hollow lantern
#

Daemons forms don't often last long on the material plane

#

By destroying the host, you're giving it nowhere to stay

#

Thus sending it to the warp

woeful bloom
#

thanks

hollow lantern
#

You've seen Astartes, right?

woeful bloom
#

no idea what that is

hollow lantern
#

Oh boy

#

I got a treat for you then

woeful bloom
woeful bloom
#

thanks!

#

I intend to

spring berry
#

something went wrong in the shader cache builder process exit code 1 //// someone can help me?

crisp heath
#

Are all custodes canonically wearing golden armor? Or is that just the ones on palace duty?

arctic talon
#

Nah

#

There's several different custodes groups that wear dif colors

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

Gimme a sec lemme pull em up

arctic talon
#

and the Shadowkeepers

crisp heath
#

Awesome.

vocal drum
#

its crazy to think tyranids can easily kil that

arctic talon
#

Tbf anything is possible

#

its still armor at the end of the day

vocal drum
#

True

arctic talon
#

furthermore there's also the fact Genestealer cults have rockdrills and mining lasers usually

#

those weapons can prolly eat through armor easily

vocal drum
#

what do space marines need to worry about in the field are they at the top of the food chain kinda?

arctic talon
#

Anti armor weaponry

worn pagoda
#

Game too unrealistic. Can't play anymore. Ogryn's? In a Valkyrie and lightless maps? Bah

arctic talon
#

Marines are walking tanks

#

They're still vulnrable to a variety of anti armor weapons, especially against factions like the eldar

#

Where shuriken weapons shred armor with ease

worn pagoda
#

Y'know what'd be based?

#

One marine

#

But only as an NPC at the beginning of a map

arctic talon
#

Also with the fact daemon hosts are showing up

worn pagoda
#

He's a Mentor teaching the guardsmen how to clean the lenses on their lasguns

arctic talon
#

I'm 99% sure I know what the special ammo is for now lol

#

its for teams sent to stop summoning rituals

worn pagoda
#

The common Purestrain is a marine killer

arctic talon
#

yeah that also purestrains rip terminators in half

worn pagoda
#

Most nids are above even vet marines

vocal drum
#

also lore wise this char in game is like a witch she killed me and took my soul?

#

did she actually take my soul?

arctic talon
#

it just snaps your neck lol

vocal drum
#

oh

scenic sun
#

Daemonhosts are wild

#

The Mobian sixth don't fuck arround lol, they're not a low-level cult

rustic spruce
#

if nurgle is fueled by despair, why do his followers tend to be happy

arctic talon
#

because they've gone past the brink

vocal drum
#

man theres too much lore in this universe to ever be caught up its impossible

crisp heath
#

But it’s fun 👀

vocal drum
#

nurgle, so the guys im fighting against serve him i believe

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

even the poxwalkers you fight ingame got rictus grins

#

and you can sometimes hear the hordes laughing when attacking you in a swarm

amber yacht
#

nurgle just wants everyone to be happy

rustic spruce
#

nurgle just loves all life, he just loves microscopic life a little too much

dusk patrol
#

Nurgle makes you apathetic to it all too.

#

You don't care about anything.

#

There's even a lot to suggest that the pain doesn't go away, you just don't care anymore.

#

You don't care if your turning on your friends or are a monster now because it doesn't matter.

#

Also a lot of his followers aren't happy tbh.

woeful bloom
#

nurgle sounds like sloth

hollow lantern
#

I feel motivation to kill them for silence and silence alone.

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

i think the most popular comparison people make is an abusive relationship KEK

vocal drum
#

can we kil these things pls and END them

worn pagoda
#

No

#

They're'll always be at least one planet with a bunch left over

plush mason
dusk patrol
hollow lantern
#

Also, since we were talking about made up weapons for the Ogryn @dusk patrol they should make up the charonite weapons as fist weapons and let me make up new arrangements for enemies bodies

#

That and an auto cannon. Full damage Ogryn.

dusk patrol
#

I do think a Charonite knockoff will be a class

hollow lantern
#

I hope so

dusk patrol
#

There’s the picture people post of the older concept art

#

Where they Ogryn has the Charonite backpack on

#

It’s also just the only other obvious choice tbh

#

Gun Luggar and Charonite

#

Not really sure what other ways you could go

hollow lantern
#

I could see bullgryn but Skullbreaker already does the tank CC thing well

#

He's only some cosmetics off

dusk patrol
#

Yeah Skullbreaker is just too much like Bullgryn already

#

I mean maybe they could make it even more tank and CC focused

storm jungle
#

Yeah its also kind of easy to add pre-existing armanents to the Ogryn in the future since like

#

you know

#

ogryns already barely got any weapons on lore/tabletop for them

#

You are already kinda scraping the bottom so might as well

dusk patrol
#

Plz heavy Bolter for Gun Luggar

#

And multilaser

arctic talon
#

Give them a multilaser

noble cairn
#

Charonite would be strange lore wise, but gameplay wise I'd be down for it

ruby sparrow
#

Also, witchfinder, can I send you something to see if its accurate? its WH fantasy related but its for chaos runes

arctic talon
#

doesn't need to be a charonite

dusk patrol
#

And multi Melta. And every other big gun ever.

arctic talon
#

could just be an ogryn berserker

storm jungle
#

Lorewise at the end of the day its just old equipment

noble cairn
#

Yeah that'd work

plush mason
#

hellgun for vet please fatshark 🙏

dusk patrol
#

I definitely expect some kind of stormtrooper or Scion class

noble cairn
#

Stormtrooper/Scion would be awesome

dusk patrol
#

The Scion cosmetics would sell like hotcakes

noble cairn
#

Truly

warm prawn
#

skitarii would be freaking cool

crisp heath
#

Are Cadian purple eyes hereditary?

shrewd condor
#

is the main story just || us joining the group || or will we see || arrival of a space marine (iirc they said theres someone really powerful heading to this world while chaos corrupts it that will decide the world's faith )||

dusk patrol
#

I believe so

dusk patrol
noble cairn
#

Space Marine is the 5th class

dusk patrol
#

We should have a bot for this

crisp heath
#

Chaos space marines 👀👀👀

#

I’m kidding

plush mason
#

lol

crisp heath
#

FS intends for Darktide to be less grandeur

noble cairn
#

A Plague Marine would be kinda cool as a boss.

shrewd condor
#

i could have sworn there was someone heading to this planet while we try to contain it

crisp heath
#

I like that a lot

dusk patrol
#

I’ll kid my foot up your ass

noble cairn
#

But utterly overpowered.

dusk patrol
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

We're trying to bleed out the cult

plush mason
noble cairn
#

Perhaps a Terminator class?

#

Since they'd be slower and more balanced.

shrewd condor
#

we are only containing it while the marine comes

dusk patrol
#

Obviously it’s a Custodes class

shrewd condor
#

so it doesnt spread to other sectors

storm jungle
#

Okay so, jokes aside

noble cairn
#

Perhaps a Knight?

dusk patrol
#

When you load into the level it just autocompletes for you

storm jungle
#

One of the voicelines from Hadron mentions the astropathic comms are down

#

No one is coming.

arctic talon
#

We're stuck here lol

plush mason
#

nice

arctic talon
#

or rather

shrewd condor
#

but my point is, was this really it for the main story? felt pretty barebones

arctic talon
#

we're stuck here till we finish purging

dusk patrol
#

Also it’s literally the description for the game

#

And in all the trailers

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

The Inqusitorial warband is the one purging everything

dusk patrol
#

Also it’s the story

noble cairn
#

The story is just set up I guess for where the devs want to take "Endgame" content

storm jungle

theres gonna be a lot more down the line

crisp heath
#

The character banter also implies that Tertium is being fought so heavily for for some ulterior motive

#

What do you guys think that could be?

noble cairn
#

It's not really a story tbh, just filler in the meantime

dusk patrol
#

Tendies

storm jungle
#

I mean

crisp heath
dusk patrol
#

They have the best Grox tendies

arctic talon
#

I don't think there's another reason

#

genuienly

dusk patrol
#

The reason is: We don’t need to know

arctic talon
#

If the Moebian Sixth and Cult of admonition gain control

#

its a stronghold for them

dusk patrol
#

And probably never will

arctic talon
#

we're here to stop them from establishing a stronghold

dusk patrol
#

An Inquisitor deems it important, and we’re under his control .

#

That’s what matters to us

crisp heath
#

Also who is Rannick and what’s his title to us

arctic talon
#

Interrigator Rannick

noble cairn
#

It's got loads of Manufacturing capability.

arctic talon
#

he's the highest ranking member of the inqusitorial warband present

dusk patrol
#

He’s the second to the Inquisitor

noble cairn
#

Losing that and giving it to Chaos is kinda a bad idea

arctic talon
#

unless Grendyl is onboard

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

Basically a apprentice Inquisitor

#

One step removed

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

Psykers talks some big shit

#

So crazy

arctic talon
#

and how chaos cults will keep springing up

dusk patrol
#

Sounds like that Psyker doesn’t know their Exterminatus procedures

#

Cyclonic torpedos exist dumbass

ruby sparrow
#

so uh, from theorycrafting. Whats fantasy doing in my 40k

dusk patrol
#

It’s a cheeky reference probably

noble cairn
#

5th Class

#

Pusfume is coming.

dusk patrol
#

There’s several in the game for different things

crisp heath

Holy shit Skaven 5th class 😳

plush mason

That’s how they work

#

They burrow to the core

plush mason
#

oh

noble cairn
#

There's also "Big Bombs."

#

We don't talk about what it takes to make a "Big Bomb."

crisp heath
#

What if the real Warhammer 40k: Darktide is versus mode

plush mason
#

lol

dusk patrol
#

I call playing the Daemonhost

noble cairn
#

Daemonhost might make Slab shield mandatory on 4 and 5 now : (

dusk patrol
#

Also, deleting the daemon host by yeeting a nade box at its head was amusing

noble cairn
#

Cleaver bros on suicide watch.

dusk patrol
#

Basically already was mandatory for pubs with the teammates I’ve been getting

#

They’re not sending their best

noble cairn
#

I've got good mileage without, but there's no denying you gotta tank if you wake the Daemonhost and 9/10 will spawn in a position that you just have to go through.

#

And the cleaver can only hold it back for so long.

dusk patrol
#

Yeah I don’t love how it sometimes spawns where you can’t avoid

noble cairn
#

It's a more BS Minotaur

#

I didn't know that was possible tbh

dusk patrol
#

I also don’t love the Leroy Jenkins on my team who shoot it when we can avoid

noble cairn
#

Mmhm.

hollow lantern
#

Sorry man, the Emperor requires me to kill it

dusk patrol
#

At least it kills them

noble cairn
#

Killing it should give you more XP and Credits.

hollow lantern
#

He personally spoke to me and asked me to excise it from existence

noble cairn
#

I mean, we're disposing of some dangerous stuff that shouldn't be knocking about

hollow lantern
#

Grims and scripts being one

noble cairn
#

Grims.

hollow lantern
#

Endless hordes

noble cairn
#

Emperor's gift should pay me more

noble cairn
#

Tf you mean the God-Emperor's gift, to me, is a grey latrine shovel?

hollow lantern
#

It's a message

noble cairn
#

No wonder so many defect to Chaos.

dusk patrol
#

I’ll be honest, I missed the part in the “So you think you’re a Acolyte?” Handbook I was given on where having an Ogryn yeet a grenade box was a viable and good way to banish a Daemonhost

hollow lantern
#

Do better

dusk patrol
#

But I’m also an Ogryn so I can’t read

noble cairn
#

The handbook never quantifies the potential of Ogryns in any ritual.

dusk patrol
#

Not sure why Eisenhorn was having so much trouble tbh

noble cairn
#

However, historically, they're quite good at that.

dusk patrol
#

Doesn’t seem that hard

crisp heath
hollow lantern
#

There's a thrill I get firing a grenade box off into a horde and just watching it cleave 15+ poxxies heads off

dusk patrol
#

I got like a five mauler kill with one box once

#

Idk how even

#

But it was glorious

#

Not the explosive one either

noble cairn
dusk patrol
#

That feel when you miss the Beast of Nurgle weak point

crisp heath
#

I just can't tell when its gonna swipe its tail at me

#

So I end up getting pushed away 😭

dusk patrol
#

I’ll be honest though, I’m super ok with bosses right now

#

They’re the right difficulty

crisp heath
#

Plague Ogryn is a breeze

dusk patrol
#

Imo

hollow lantern
#

Yall aren't getting hounded by the slug from the minute it spawns?

crisp heath
#

But thats cuz Zealot is great against it

noble cairn
#

Save for Daemonspawns.

crisp heath
#

Beast of Nurgle is a slog from range 💀

#

I need to learn how to leash it better

dusk patrol
#

They can be annoying if there’s a lot of elites and it’s in a bad spot

noble cairn
#

Which are cool, but having to fight 4 in a mission kinda wore their novelty thin

dusk patrol
#

Like the prison mission

crisp heath
dusk patrol
#

But mostly they’re fine I think

#

As I get the third boss from an endless horde mission which won’t go away

noble cairn
dusk patrol
#

Literally can’t be bothered with endless Damnation right now

#

And it’s always endless

#

Even if it says it isn’t

#

Pubs are bad enough without often

crisp heath
noble cairn
#

I like Endless

crisp heath
#

I tried playing Damnation but there's no one queueing for it

noble cairn
#

Please don't fix.

dusk patrol
#

50/50 you get a Psyker trying to blow themself up for the penance

arctic talon

Carry harder!

Kill the elites with a self explosion

arctic talon
noble cairn
#

Oh shit so that's what that Penance asks

#

Big kek.

arctic talon
#

It’s such a bad penance lol

crisp heath
#

Well that's dumb af

arctic talon
#

Long bomb is just situational

dusk patrol
crisp heath
#

Lots of the penances need to be reworked

arctic talon
#

honestly a lot of the Pennaces feel very

noble cairn
#

Kekw.

arctic talon
#

arbitrary

#

Zealot prolly has some of the least awful ones imo

noble cairn
#

The Penances are designed to grief everyone

dusk patrol
#

Ogryn is mostly fine

noble cairn
#

Play like an absolute dickhead, get rewarded.

dusk patrol
#

The 100 dash one was tough

crisp heath
#

I got the sniper stun grenade once because it was the best play at the moment lmao

arctic talon
#

Veteran and psyker have the worst ones

#

by far imo

dusk patrol
#

And the final leg one

crisp heath
#

That felt great

noble cairn
#

Still working on the dash one.

arctic talon
#

Like

dusk patrol
#

That one is so dumb

noble cairn
#

75m is possible with Psykers

toxic glacier
#

I'm not huge on 40k lore. A psykers basically heretics? I thought magic stuff was forbidden or something?

arctic talon
#

emperor's blessing isn't actually his blessing

noble cairn

2 psykers can get ogryns ult back with 3 elite kills

You dare question His benevolent gifts bequeathed unto you? HERESY

In theory

shouldnt of listened to this , im all messed up now

Veterans need to have a good understanding of how the game generally plays in order to be efficient. Its not like Left 4 Dead. You literally can't be glued onto your rifle for every single situation

#

Get a fourth Psyker if you want 40%

Being a psyker doesn't mean your a heretic, being an unsactioned psyker means your a danger to everyone around you and must undergo the sanctioning process

noble cairn
arctic talon
#

thats why the psykers always sound so on edge

#

Somthing is trying to get into their mind constantly

toxic glacier
#

I see.

short thicket
#

to be a pysker is to be constantly at war with the warp pretty much

noble cairn
#

People running non stacking feats without knowing eachothers builds isn't great for team cohesion

arctic talon
#

and it only gets worse when they begin using their abilities

dusk patrol
#

It sucks but

#

It’s how it do be sadly

short thicket
#

the more they use their powers more they get noticed by demons

arctic talon
#

also a vareity of other warp preadators that aren't daemons

noble cairn
#

Well it's 20% with Feats then

grizzled valve
#

I also remember hearing that the collars you see on the outfits are basically IED collars in case of warp corruption?

arctic talon
#

like Wasps that lay eggs in your brain

noble cairn
#

Then get some Curios for the rest

dusk patrol
#

Yeah need that

plush eagle
#

Gotta Question. One of the Tattoos says "73-7" What the signifigance?

noble cairn
#

Still 5 kills isn't bad

dusk patrol
#

Some curios

noble cairn
#

Or rather 10 kills all in all

dusk patrol
#

You have to run it three times

arctic talon
#

they help stave off corrupiton

grizzled valve
#

Ah thank you

arctic talon
#

The bomb collar is only on the prison garb

noble cairn
#

First is free, then 5 and then 5

dusk patrol
#

You only get 24 meters with the dash

arctic talon
#

Which fair enough your a prisoner

noble cairn
#

Oh ffs so it's 4?

#

Make it 15 then

dusk patrol
#

It’s 70 meters

noble cairn
#

Oh it's fine then

arctic talon
#

but a psychic hood and warding runes are very common

dusk patrol
#

In 25 seconds

arctic talon
#

for psykers to have

noble cairn
#

I thought it was 75m

dusk patrol
#

Plus you have to maintain coherency

arctic talon
#

mostly since it protects them from warp predators and daemons

noble cairn
#

It's doable

#

Just need to get a premade team who knows what to do

#

Or bring back the 100m Feat lol

dusk patrol
#

I’ll try it maybe later, gotta find some psykers to help. I’m getting close to being able to get the tier 3 helmet

noble cairn
#

Same

dusk patrol
#

The 100 man in one dash was so lame to get too

#

Just pure luck

#

Couldn’t even force it

noble cairn
#

There is a way to do it on Malice

#

Repair mission, right before getting on the extraction space plane

#

Endless ofc

#

Just stack up and wait for them to bunch up on the gangway

#

The Ogryn ones though I feel are the least team destructive all in all

ruby sparrow
#

sorry for bringing this here, but I'm trying to decipher some chaos runes

shrewd condor
#

I heard the emperor himself will come out of his throne at the end of the game

plush eagle
arctic talon
#

but it being Chaos weapon, beast of nurgle, biting tongue might indicate the moebian sixth or cult of admonition

ruby sparrow
#

I mean to be fair it is actual runes

arctic talon
#

is trying to do somthing with a beast of nurgles tounge

#

and turn it into a chaos weapon

ruby sparrow
#

it might also be refering to the fact that the beasts of nurgle we fight bite you with their tongues

elder tide
# ruby sparrow

I noticed this too. Why are Nurgle runes everywhere but there are Chaos runes on the new communication map?

arctic talon
#

If its read right to left its, Biting tounge, beast of nurgle, chaos weapon

#

So the biting tounge of a beast of nurgle is a chaos weapon

#

could be a way the symbols are interpreted

ruby sparrow
#

Anyone up to form a squad to check out the runes?

elder tide
arctic talon
#

the last anathame we saw was during the horus heresy

#

and it wouldn't serve much good to the Moebian Sixth imo

elder tide
#

Yeah not literally saying it's that but that is what comes to mind initially

arctic talon
#

fair

#

but chaos weapons also include things like acursed weapons, plague weapons, ect.

crisp heath
#

Can’t wait for them to add plague drones since theyre just matured beasts of nurgle

elder tide
#

Do we think it's possible that if we let the emperor simply die on the throne that he'd be reborn again into a new body?

#

Or just simply gone forever

crisp heath
#

Gone forever

#

He’s not a perpetual

plush mason
#

why is forge world Graia seen as cursed?

sudden pecan
#

So I've got a question why do like, space marines and preachers have the left shoulder guard with the studs on it?

elder tide
#

The Emperor isn't perpetual? Everything I am seeing says that he is

Also the tech priests there are weird even by tech priest standards

They remove the emotional parts of their brain entirely

Tech priests at Garia just cut the damn bits out lol

There weren't any knights in Titanicus.

Titanicus the novel by Dan Abnett

crisp heath

Right

#

In Adeptus titanicus the rule book for knights in the tabletop it actually says that knights use adamantite and titans use ceremite for some reason

arctic talon
#

Not the codex

#

They do though.

#

At least in the Horus Heresy ruleset, Titans had the Armored Ceramite rule by default while Knights didn't.

#

In-game, the characters talk about the battle at Lions Gate, would it honestly be common knowledge?

arctic talon
#

Ehhhh sorta?

#

Its pretty big news a bunch of daemons popped up on holy terra

#

Especially to people in the military

#

We've prolly heard from other inqusitorial agents and soldiers throughout the common areas

#

and we sorta figure it out on our own

leaden bronze
#

Fair enough.

#

I haven't kept up on recent 40k lore, so I think I'm still stuck on the "giant space hole is making things an issue for communication"

arctic talon
#

The Citrix maladictum is a pretty big issue KEKW

#

but the battle at lions gate was pretty horrific since a bunch of Custodes died, a bunch of marines died, and a bunch of some of the most elite guardsmen died

#

due to a Chaos daemon incursion on terra

leaden bronze
#

They should just take the demons, and push them somewhere else

#

On a completely unrelated note, thought it was neat that Morrow is probably former Armageddon Steel Legion

arctic talon
#

he is former steel legion

#

he mentions it when ur at higher trust

leaden bronze
#

He fought in the second war of Armageddon, and there's that VA of him fanboying about the Leman Russ demolisher

arctic talon
#

Yeah he's a steel legion sergent KEKW

#

er sergant major

leaden bronze
#

So.. Steel Legion gasmask WHEN FATSHARK

#

Give us the drip

arctic talon
#

but he mentions helping him give the boss the old "steel legion handshake"

#

which is a pretty fun reference to the fact steel legion members are usually former hive gangers and use underhanded tactics in cqb

So I was thinking about Leagues of Votann lore, right, and a thought hit me

#

Supposedly there are a large number of Imperials who classify them as pure xenos, and an equally large amount who say they are abhumans

#

But... wouldn't the fact that the Leagues use pretty much all the same weaponry as the Imperium, just better, pretty quickly make it obvious they are human in origin?

Wasn't there a theory about Big E being the chaos god Malice before there was some sort of legal issue?

#

Like 3rd Edition Chaos Marine Codex

#

No

#

The Legal issue was with Malal

#

And then it was changed to Malice

#

Still on the outskirt of the current lore

#

As the Son of Malice are still there

mystic geyser
#

Gotta love a subtle Malal reference

#

One shows up in a heresy short story. Where ||Horus tries to name a lost primarch, but can only say "Mal-- AL". (the implication being he's trying to say Malcador [Who is force choking him], but actually saying the name of the primarch. Which is great,m because they are both entities who cannot ever be named :D) ||

The Sons Of Malice were trying to bring him into real space

So I stumbled upon the felinids through memes. The community seems to make them cat girls and men... but according to what little lore we have the Kroot say they are virtually indistinguishable from normal humans, except for possessing forearm length claws.
Thus I must decree 40k catgirls to be heresy. In all likelihood they look like humans with long fingernails

reference to when someone asks about exterimnatus of atoma, implications?

tired umbra
#

Implication is that exterminatus exists in the universe

#

Not everything is a hint of DLC or some shit

rancid pasture
#

No, i mean the corruption being deeper

#

if a planet cracker couldnt destroy it how deep is it

#

Especially considering beloved is assumeably the emperor or something he think is

tired umbra
#

The corruption being deeper is probably just a way of them saying "No we're not nuking this place. Send in the expendable dudes."

rancid pasture
#

I mean that would make sense if it was the inquisition retinue saying tthat

But are ok with more protection on their off hand side

Nuking the place is the last resort, you don't just nuke a hive world cause you've got a chaos cult in the lower hive

Redirecting orbital wreckage or even a moon onto a planet can be exterminatus as well.

Lore-Question... would it make sense for a Psyker to become a temporary demonhost at critical levels of peril (instead of exploding)?

it would have to be bound to him

theres a whole ritual, and i think the person dies in the process, then the body is inhabited

so it wouldnt be reversable
