Oh yes, thanks. Need to visit there more often

Not all Daemons are evil:

#

I enter two pieces of evidence for the record

#

Euphrates Keeler and M'kar

#

Doing the work of Big E, which is unquestionably the work of righteousness and good.

open pumice
#

Euphrati Keeler isn't a daemon?

#

have I lost my marbles

#

I'm still kinda new to WH40K, and I have a question on Purity Seals. What seal best fits this game's faction we play in Darktide please?

gloomy citrus
#

Corvus is pretty much a daemon.

storm jungle
#

and every faction within it more or less

open pumice
dense mortar

gloomy citrus
#

The skull seal is the most common one.

#

What are these seals for anyway?

open pumice
#

For purity

storm jungle
#

Its in the name

gloomy citrus
#

But what does it purify?

open pumice
#

whatever you glue it too

storm jungle
#

Read this page

open pumice
#

nasically

#

it's a "ward" against chaos

gloomy citrus
#

Would something happen if one was somehow slapped onto a Death Guard marine?

storm jungle
#

No lol

open pumice
#

No

storm jungle
#

its just a parchment

open pumice
#

they don't

#

actually do anything

storm jungle
#

so it wouldnt do much of anything

gloomy citrus
#

So its just a ruse made by the Inquisition/whoever is in charge of the Imperial Cult?

storm jungle
#

its mostly to show off the Imperium's superstition, that and it looks cool

open pumice
#

they are dolled out by chaplains

storm jungle
#

they just believe it works

#

its the same as us using censers IRL

#

it doesnt really do anything

#

its just ceremonial

open pumice
#

Your not being bamboozled

gloomy citrus
#

I wonder if that works the same as with Orks.

storm jungle
#

It doesnt

open pumice
#

your just getting wax glued to your gun

storm jungle
#

Orks "power of belief" is also memed to death

gloomy citrus
#

If it was, I would have laughed my ass off.

storm jungle
#

their belief power works more akin to psychic duct-tape

#

mostly for machinery and weapons

open pumice
#

It's also important to note that some draw spiritual strength from their purity seals

gloomy citrus
arctic talon
#

The censers are 99% of the time doing nothing

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

The 1% of the time they are

#

Are for things like titans

storm jungle
#

they also smell nice

#

so theres that

arctic talon
#

True

open pumice
#

i.e. space marines recanting the prayers on their seals will give them a burst of resolve

arctic talon
#

It makes a mechanicus workshop not smell like metal and oil

gloomy citrus
storm jungle
#

I mean no

#

again its just religious imagery

#

its suppose to be symbolic

gloomy citrus
#

They do look dope.

storm jungle
#

you're gonna rot to death the moment a death guard marine walks to you

#

a nice smell wont do much KEK

gloomy citrus
arctic talon
#

Or puke to death lol

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Being around plague marines isn’t pleasant

gloomy citrus

*Khârn grinned at the daemon, his eyes burning with an unholy fire. ‘I am a son of Angron,’ he said, and slammed his forehead into the daemon’s face.

The impact echoed through the chamber, and Khârn felt the daemon’s grip falter. He punched it with his free hand, hitting it again and again, tearing free of its grasp. The daemon staggered backwards, reeling from the attack, and Khârn followed it, bringing his chainaxe to bear.*

storm jungle
#

Bolter Porn is the fandom term for space marines doing generic actions/plotlines

arctic talon
#

And is very biased towards one side

storm jungle
#

yeah that

dense mortar
#

This man is just punching Daemons?

arctic talon
#

Yeah

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Kharn is built different

storm jungle
#

Its a normal thing

#

hes used to it

arctic talon
#

Yeah

open pumice
#

Kharn is based

dense mortar
#

I need this book

open pumice
#

i mean yeah he's a bad person

#

but he was written really pog

gloomy citrus
#

That's true.

storm jungle
#

Typhus pulled an Amogus on the entire Death Guard Legion, gotta respect the Nurgle venting hustle

arctic talon
#

Typhus is the weakest of the 4 god aligned chaos champions

#

Ironicially

#

He’s not stronger then Kharn, as good a dualist as Lucius or as potent a psyker as Ahriman

storm jungle
#

Yeah it doesnt help that like

#

hes REALLY sidelined

gloomy citrus
#

Lucius is a class of his own.

storm jungle
#

most people barely would know he exists unless you read 30k

arctic talon
#

Mortarion takes up a lot of attention yeah

storm jungle
#

or are a deathguard fan

arctic talon
#

Tbf grey knight players would know about typhus

gloomy citrus
arctic talon
#

Mostly since he uh

storm jungle
#

I mean

arctic talon
#

He dunked on them lul

storm jungle
#

the stuff Emperors Children do are really not that extreme

#

that might just be me being bored against violence tho lol

open pumice
storm jungle
#

Yes

#

it was okay

#

"omg she used blood and shit to make a painting"

#

like, okay

arctic talon
#

The funny druhkari books are funnier

storm jungle
#

or the opera concert scene

arctic talon
#

And by funny I mean it’s just torture

open pumice
storm jungle
#

which everyone goes nuts over for some reason

#

when its just like... really subpar KEK

gloomy citrus
#

The Emperor's Children turned out the worst.

storm jungle
storm jungle

they were made of europeans

arctic talon
#

Taking apart a human atom by atom

#

Lul

storm jungle
#

no this isnt a joke

#

Bile also literally came from Frankenstein's birthplace i think

#

which is the most meme lore ever

#

but Bile is a pimp so i like it

arctic talon
#

Same region

#

Probably

storm jungle
#

Yeeee

#

let me check

gloomy citrus
#

Then where did Saul and Rylanor hail from?

storm jungle
#

Fabius was born on Terra to Europan nobility. He spent at least part, if not all of his childhood in a region named Ingolstadt; potentially related to the Bavarian city but this is not expanded upon [12]. As a child, he learned the art of fleshcrafting from one of his families servants. Among his first experiments was modifying mice to duel each other in elaborate garb and was inconsolable when they disobeyed his orders and killed one another. Shortly after, he was inducted into the III Legion.

storm jungle
#

Thats it yeah

#

also for Saul and Rylanor we are never told

gloomy citrus
#

The 40k's version of Mengele.

open pumice
#

Man

arctic talon
#

40k mengele is urien rakarth

open pumice
#

the legion really saw bile putting alien organs in legionares and went

#

yeah thats cool, me next

storm jungle
#

"Ayo gimme some of that shit"

near wasp
storm jungle
#

meanwhile Saul Goodmanvitz did nothing

open pumice
#

Saul Tarvitz is based

gloomy citrus
#

No one did much about Bile's shenanigans.

open pumice
#

And was also only a captain lmao

near wasp
#

"I hear you do strange things to your warriors"

open pumice
#

When even the primarch is like
"Thats cool"
theres not much some random captain can do

dense mortar
#

Do we know where the empeors armor came from? And why is lore so vague, and/or just simply not there, about the emperor? Like it or not, its very clear to me (a newcomer) that his is very central to the motivations of the universe.

storm jungle
#

I mean kinda

#

hes only central to the Imperium as a faction

dense mortar
#

Well this is the majority of peoples involvement in the franchise, is it not?

storm jungle
#

Ehhh idk

gloomy citrus
#

It is.

open pumice
storm jungle
#

This

arctic talon
#

The emperor is meant to be a vague background character

#

He’s never in the forefront

#

You aren’t meant to fully understand or sympathize with him

open pumice
#

Even in his own book, his story is told thru his custodians

gloomy citrus
remote loom
#

Okay, let me put it this way, what seal appears on our gear? I want to know so I can do some light cosplaying, please.

open pumice
#

honestly thats the solutioon

near wasp
#

The aquilla first and foremost

open pumice
#

there aren't specific purity seals

#

Find a prayer you like, and write it onto some parchment, hit ti with an oversized wax seal

#

skulls, aquillas, etc are common

storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

Regiment symbols as well

open pumice
near wasp
#

If you wanna really be a troll hide a chaos symbol in there. See if anybody notices

open pumice
#

they are highly personal

#

and are usually tailored toward the soldier by the regimental chaplain

gloomy citrus
near wasp
#

Undivided all the way

gloomy citrus
#

That's the best Chaos option.

remote loom
near wasp
#

I mean its no better than youtube pranksters

open pumice
#

still waiting for nurgle to take a pass at corrupting the blood angels

#

so far every other god has made an attempt

#

(and failed)

gloomy citrus
#

And they will keep failing.

open pumice
#

Yes, because the sons of sanguinius are too based

gloomy citrus
#

Unless they enter the black rage.

open pumice
#

Never heard of it

#

Sounds like heresy to me

#

there are no black armored marines in the so called "death company" these are lies

gloomy citrus
#

What.

storm jungle
#

Hes being sarcastic

near wasp
#

The blood angels are not vampires. There are not death companies. There are no flaws with sangiunious

open pumice
#

hol up

#

why is calgars hand an emote

arctic talon
#

Why not

near wasp
#

I mean not like hes doing anything with it anymore

Monch

dense mortar
#

So what are the chanes we see an animated warhammer movie?

near wasp
#

Low given how gw is but supposedly henry cavil will have a 40k show but its being funded by amazon so take that with a grain of salt

dense mortar
#

And, further more, do you think Cavill has enough star power to bring warhammer from the fringes into mainstream?

near wasp
#

Honestly its all unknown at this time supposedly hell be an exc director, and honestly i just dont want 40k to be turned soft.

dense mortar
#

Cavill seems pretty comitted to source material of the stuff he does

#

I doubt he lets it go soft

#

That was a big reason he left Witcher wasnt it? They were straying to far from the source for his liking

near wasp
#

I mean by it being brought into the mainstream

arctic talon
#

40k isn’t soft tbh

#

Even with era indomitus

#

Setting is still terrible

#

If anything it’s gotten more harsh

#

For the average civilian lul

near wasp
#

When dark franchises have a light shown on them sometimes they go soft.

arctic talon
#

Eh

dense mortar
#

To appeal to a wider audience

arctic talon
#

GW isn’t going to change

#

Because they’re still profiting

near wasp
#

I hope they dont but theres always that fear

dense mortar
#

That would be Amazons second blunder with a fan favored franchise if they do

#

LOTR was not good

arctic talon
#

They’ll always Persue a steady flow of profit

#

Over a risk

dense mortar
#

At anyrate, you can bet it will be centered around Blood Angels or Salamanders, as Henry has stated those are his main factions

open pumice
#

it is bad :)

near wasp
#

Thats a lie. His main is custodes

dense mortar
#

Outside of Custodes

#

Custodes is not really a faction

open pumice
arctic talon
#

Custodes are a faction

#

Lol

open pumice
#

Custodes are more of a faction than anything else in the imperium

#

namely

#

because they are not part of the imperium

#

at all

dense mortar
#

Im three days in here, give me some slack. But i DID just watch an interveiw where he name drops Salamanders and Blood Angels as his favorite factiosn

arctic talon
#

He collects custodes tho

open pumice
#

Custodes & Blood angels, best factions

#

(I am biased)

arctic talon
#

And if we do get a live action 40k show

#

It isn’t gona be about marines

#

That’s really expensive

open pumice
arctic talon
#

And marines generally speaking

#

Are kind of boring lol

#

I want an inqusitor

open pumice
#

Marines done poorly are booring

#

but yeah

#

were likely going to get an inquisitor series

dense mortar
open pumice
#

something that is "human" enough to be approachable for non 40k people, but that will allow the writers to go and explore deep into 40k

arctic talon
#

^

dense mortar
#

interview of him basically foreshadowing

arctic talon
#

An inqusitor is the best choice

#

Marines are too isolated

#

Compared to the wider imperium

dense mortar
#

He strictly states it would be a shame to play a Inquisitor

#

when so many other characters exist

arctic talon
#

Valrak

near wasp
#

Valerian

open pumice
dense mortar
#

Its just a play of his interview

arctic talon
#

I’ll listen

#

To the podcast

dense mortar
#

not really a youtuber

open pumice
#

idk

arctic talon
#

Also he doesn’t want to play as Eisenhorn

#

Lol

open pumice
#

i can't think of a better gateway for 40k

dense mortar
#

he talks about hsi favorite chapter as well

arctic talon
#

I’d assume he’d be fine with a normal inqusitor

#

Mostly since Eisenhorn is uhh

#

Not a great fit for cavil overall tbh

open pumice
#

They shouldn't do an existing book or story

arctic talon
#

Just the type of person Eisenhorn is

arctic talon
open pumice
#

or if they do it should be something like the horus heresy

#

where there is plenty of room to focus on non story characters

arctic talon
#

Not HH

#

Tbh

open pumice
#

I will be dissapointed if we get a live action version of caiphas cain

arctic talon
#

Low hanging fruit

open pumice
arctic talon
#

Fair

open pumice
#

I think a live action/animated HH series could be good if handled correctly

#

but def not as the first ever mainstream 40k series

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

Im late but like

arctic talon
#

He still clearly likes custodes the most

#

Lul

storm jungle
#

has anyone seen half the shows put on Amazon

#

like the Boys

arctic talon
#

Considering his preface

near wasp
#

Hi witch

storm jungle

i really doubt they are gonna make 40k "soft"

lmao

arctic talon

The Boys is

#

Something lol

arctic talon
#

Better then the comics

Better than the comic-

Anyone who says the comics are better

#

Is high

near wasp

True they did liquify an entire crowd of people

arctic talon

Off of gas fumes

storm jungle
#

Garth Ennis is a piece of shit so its true

storm jungle
#

also drove through a whale

#

with a speedboat

#

and then had a heart to heart inside its guts

arctic talon
#

Also some other scenes

storm jungle
#

thats as 40k as it gets KEK

arctic talon
#

We can’t mention

#

Because uh

#

NSFW

#

the hospital scene 💀

near wasp
arctic talon
#

I will not elaborate on the hospital scene from the boys

#

But if you know

#

You know

near wasp
#

But i was referring more to after the show ends or finishes. I hope the limelight doesnt soften 40k. But its dumb to think that ik. Just sometimes i think the worst for things i care about because sometimes shit does get ruined.

arctic talon
#

Eh

#

Fair

open pumice
#

I like this notion that GW will listen to popular demand

#

GW doesn't listen to the current playerbase lmao

#

you think if GW cared about what people think, they would have made the fucking despoilers kit resin only

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

GW doesn’t give a shit

open pumice
#

I weep

arctic talon
#

They do what makes $$$ and doesn’t piss people off too much

open pumice
#

fuckin

arctic talon
#

At least we know HH

open pumice
#

you have to buy 2 of those kits

Is getting more plastic infantry

open pumice

just to have 1 squad

Holy fuck

#

Please assault marines

I play blood angels, and I weep

open pumice
#

yeah the

#

despoilers made me genuinely angry

😭

open pumice
#

it very much felt like
here your goddamn melee models
shut the fuck up

#

We want to print more anti tank vehicles

Managed to make 20 using my bits box and old chaos stuff

arctic talon
#

#

The despoilers

open pumice
#

they do

#

they were 100% a

arctic talon
#

Inb4 we get a full plastic despoiler/assault marine kit

open pumice
#

oh shit people will actually stop playing the game if we don't give them the models they need

#

most of the book is FW only, but they want to keep moving tanks over

#

despite the fact that they don't sell

#

yeah i'm

#

gonna wrap up the rest of my 30k blood angels

#

before getting assault marines

#

unfortunately it means my army will be unplayable for months :/

arctic talon
#

But it’s 40k players/collectors who buy them

open pumice
#

also

#

your LGS probably just isn't getting mroe tanks in

arctic talon
#

Nah they restocked them twice now

open pumice
#

ah

arctic talon
#

It’s surprising

#

To me

#

Ngl

open pumice
#

then your area is wierd lmao

arctic talon
#

Ye

#

Lol

#

It is a big city tho

open pumice
#

because for us here

arctic talon
#

So

open pumice
#

you very rarely see vehicles lists

arctic talon
#

So lots of traffic

open pumice
#

because of jsut

#

how busted lascannons are

#

and how awful most vehicles are

#

why take a land raider, when can isntead take the same slot and take heavy support lascannons for less points

arctic talon
#

I haven’t seen any vehicles in most HH lists

#

Lul

open pumice
#

Yeah

#

because drednaugths are cracked

#

and lascannon teams are cracked

#

theres a 20% chance your opponent gets turn one

#

and deletes your landraider from the table

#

along with 18 tac marines

#

HH needs a balance pass

#

big time

#

but it wont get one

#

and it will just flounder

#

I've listened to some of what one of the psyker voices talks about and he sounds like he genuinely talks to the Emperor

#

And then he goes "What if I'm the dream and not the dreamer!?" and my head implodes

#

what is a sanction redactus

mystic geyser
#

Kill mission

open pumice
#

He is talking to someone or some thing
But its highly unlikely its the emperor

arctic talon
#

Probably a warp creature pretending to be the emperor lol

versed ledge
#

What if it's the emperor

#

The emperor works in mysterious ways, just like the changer of ways

storm jungle
#

Its unclarified as far as I can tell

#

a fun one is that hes talking about the Player which is also funny lol

versed ledge
#

Heh, but what are the odds the psyker will become a daemonhost? At least the variant that's half mad, not the ex-cop one

storm jungle
#

To become a daemonhost he'd need to openly welcome it and go through a ritual

#

a random possession is not too likely since almost every psyker cosmetic has a dampening device

versed ledge
#

Karking hell....if that's the case, shouldn't we be prioritizing those nutjobs rather than some random captain? They have the capacity to destroy a planet

storm jungle
#

Yeah daemonhosts are a huge deal but its a case of gameplay =/= lore

versed ledge
#

Fair enough, gameplay makes them just witches from l4d

#

Lore wise, no doubt they're in the top of the to be redacted list

crisp heath
#

Daemonhosts are even way more manageable than witches

arctic talon
#

Lore wise daemonhosts would slaughter us all tbh

versed ledge
#

Yuup, their raw psychic energy can probably turn us all to mush

#

Or something worse

open pumice
#

It is a ritual, so your not getting random possesions

#

But its not consentual

storm jungle
#

I know its mostly forced in lol

versed ledge
#

So how come we can't use warp daemons to fight chaos in the name.of the emperor?

#

Or use daemons to fight the xenos?

open pumice
#

And downright traitorus at worst

#

But there are aome impwrial daemons oit there

#

Like the sanguinor and celestine

open pumice
storm jungle
open pumice
#

@versed ledge essentially, your aaking "why doeant the us solve all its problema with nuclear weapons" because even if it did work, the concequences would cause even worse problems

storm jungle
#

Translation: Plot.

#

also chaos has daemons trademarked

signal bramble
#

Doing that would make you look very heretical.

open pumice
#

After all the are daemons

#

Not happy funtime friends

that is, ofcourse, unless they are slaaneshi

Valid i guess

Aren't they making the Chaos Primarch more active again ?

they haven't announced anything but its pretty likely that the Lion is coming back

the main aligned chaos legions at least are getting more active. Mortarion (nurgle), Angron (khorne), Fulgrim (slaanesh), and Magnus (tzeentch)

isn't so crazy to think they will eventually bring back 4 loyalist primarchs

Warhammer 40k Wiki

A Talisman of Arthas Moloch is a form of rare artefact found on the Dead World of Arthas Moloch by the forces of Commander Farsight. These hexagrammatic talismans were found hanging upon great robed statues during the T'au forces combat against Chaos Daemons on that world. A Talisman of Arthas Moloch possesses strange properties that cause Warp-...

#

bears a striking resemblance to the dark angels rune of hexagrammaton

dense mortar
#

I got a feeling, deep down in my Gold Throne room if ya catch my drift, that Henry Cavill is gonna carry Warhammer to the next level of pop culture

storm jungle
#

That would take a lot.

#

Warhammer has been an unknown fandom to the larger populace for like 30 years.

#

And still kind of is.

arctic talon

signal bramble
dense mortar
#

and most importantly, he KNOWS and RESPECTS the source material

#

takes it very serious

storm jungle
#

I mean not really

#

Witcher has been popular due to the games.

dense mortar
#

Popular with gamers

#

sure

#

not with people like my daughter, who ended up loving it

#

Strictly bc that hansome son of a bitch was in it

storm jungle
#

Eh again no.

#

Even before Cavill came in people knew of the Witcher

#

even by little

#

40k in comparison is almost non-existant due to it being mostly a tabletop game and an old IP.

#

That and its a very niche market.

dense mortar
#

Point being, he can bring it into the mainstream. Consider this. His face on it, an actual GOOD show, and billions in Amazon branding

#

That niche market goes out the window

celest dome
#

The Witcher's saga is more known in literature than the Black Library

arctic talon
#

^

dense mortar
#

Well I am not denying that one IP is more known than the other. My take is that star power and unlimited marketing dollars can take something unknown and make it very known.

storm jungle
#

Thats half true

#

The problem is your average audience is not smart.

dense mortar
#

<<<

storm jungle
#

Even with the new Dune movie people were overwhelmed by the lore and scale of the universe.

#

40k is like 10x that and your average stream/moviegoer will literally understand nothing.

dense mortar
#

Im going to counter real quick. Your not wrong, but HBO made some mistakes. Amazon has proven that they can take heavy lore IP and make it palatable for average viewers; Wheel of Time is my example.

#

The niche fans may not have LOVED it, but anyone outside of the die hards thought it was pretty darn good.

#

I am a big robert jordan fan, and quite enjoyed it

storm jungle
#

Oh yeah im not saying the movie is bad.

#

I enjoyed it too, its good.

There are going to be people who are going to be introduced and become fan for the Ip, but most people will only have cursory knowledge for it

Trying to find hope and happiness in this universe is like a dream I had when I first started working at a grocery store. I had this restless dream that seem to go on forever. It was scary persay. . . but relentless unforgiving. I was bagging groceries, and all I had to do was get to the end of the groceries and I could go home and relax. . . but the conveyer belt had an infinite amount of groceries that slowly made there way down to me. All unlike items as well, so couldnt box and pack at a respectable pace.

Basically best way to approach 40k (unless you read the books) is as a morbid comedy

signal bramble
# tough timber Oi, 'eard a Spark'ead talkin' bout how our lads use Daemon Weapons. First: wot I...

The inquisition is split in to multiple factions but they generally fall under the label of "Puritan" or "Radical." The former are the kind that want to kill all the heretics, banish daemons, and destroy heresy while also treating any psykers or xenos as enemies. Radical Inquisitors on the other hand will use chaos artifacts, bind daemons to their service, and will use xeno tech or even have them as part of their retinue.

tough timber
#

So if Spark'ead is right, Grendyl's a Radical

signal bramble
#

We aren't sure exactly what kind of Inquisitor we're dealing with however but giving daemon weapons to random plebs like us would be a bad idea. They only entrust those chaos artifacts to those they believe can actually be trusted not to get corrupted by them. Becoming corrupted is the biggest risk because a daemon taking over a mortal host can inflict untold horrors upon the world.

tough timber
#

Right. So if we's be real big good uns and kill a lotta heretics, we get daemon weapons so can kill more heretics better

#

So far as can tell, the Shouty who yells bout Blood n Skulls is prolly out. Same wit Sparky wot screech "worship me or die"

#

But am think Pals is prolly solid, can hit heretics hard, can handle the goo good, and luv emprah.

vale shuttle
#

I think Grendyl is a radical. The evidence we have is that he has us capture grimoires.

#

But that's the only evidence I have.

#

Still I want to use daemon weapons so let me hope

crisp heath
#

The only people a decent inquisitor would give daemon weapons to would be someone on a sisters of battle or grey knight level of purity and dedication

#

Hell, one of the grey knight champions actually has a daemonic sword and he can just barely control it

#

Logan Grimnar also has a khornate axe that he uses without any issue, but he's... uh... you know... he can control it because he's... an alcoholic?

Alcohol famously doesn't lead to people doing stupid and hotheaded things

for some reason

in the feels.

vale shuttle

when you're fighting an enemy that preys on emotional instability, maybe setting up a society that absolutely scorns emotional vulnerability is a bad idea

tough timber
#

and heaven forbid you try to make alliances with other cultures to spread awareness of mental health-er chaos corruption.

vale shuttle
#

lmao

#

if the Imperium wasn't a racist nightmare-state then they could perhaps learn from craftworld eldar who have been forced to be emotionally stable to combat slaaneshi corruption

#

or like, any of the various human civilizations / alien civilizatoins they wiped out during the great crusade

#

or even the tau in a pinch

tough timber
#

the Tau are out here like "everyone is just having communication problems" and the Imperium is like "I will slaughter your entire civilization filthy Xenos" "oh those silly Imperials"

vale shuttle
#

on a long enough timescale im fairly certain the tau would be able to weaken chaos significantly

#

but that'd require the imperium to stop making people go "zamn i need to worship chaos because of this 19 terrabyte list of reasons i believe i should do it"

tough timber
#

Aye, pretty much the only "good outcome" would be for the Tau to broker some kind of deal between the Imperium and the Eldar through long term influence. But hah.

vale shuttle
#

unfortunately for the entire galaxy the imperium is filled to the brim with racist, ignorant, stubborn, frothing, angry madmen

#

idk if the tau could negotiate with that on a long timescale

tough timber
#

Imperium could moderate the naivety of the Tau in regards to shit like Chaos, the Tyranids, and the Orks. Cuz sometimes you can't talk it out.

#

But yeah, getting over the Xenocidal shit is, er, a lil unfeasible.

vale shuttle
#

that's true, there are existential threats, but the tau are beginning to understand that

#

iirc they've stopped trying to negotiate with orks and they recently fought off a death guard invasion

tough timber
#

ah good for them.

vale shuttle
#

they've had their teeth cut on the nightmares of the galaxy

they're still standing, they're still growing. they're in a dangerouis position but like

who isn't? lmao

tough timber
#

ayep

#

like in the current setup the Imperium is partly a stabilizing force mitigating Tyranids, Orks, and Chaos but fucking over potential improvement of the strategic situation by being aggro against Tau and Eldar.

#

and thusly stretching itself too thin

vale shuttle
#

yea

#

it's an unenviable position. chaos is definitely more focused on the imperium due to ideaological / cultural reasons, and the imperium definitely tanks more ork and tyranid assaults than the tau or any other regional power

tough timber
#

from sheer size

vale shuttle
#

yep

#

but the imperium is also a threat to all thje other factions due to its uuuhhhhh

#

gestures at everything

#

if the imperium collapsed or disintegrated i'm like, fairly sure the regional powers would be in a better place

tough timber
#

for the short term perhaps

vale shuttle
#

naaah i disagree

#

if the imperium collapsed trhe tau would basically be in the situation the imperiujm was after the long night

#

the galaxy is fractured, the bones of a dead empire are ready to be settled in, whoever can get the war engine running fastest can gain primacy

tough timber
#

I think the most feasible start to improving the situation might be Tau and Eldar alliance, maybe? I don't know enough to say if that's any more feasible than anything else.

vale shuttle
#

the tau would probably win and become the next big superpower, probably alongside the necrons. this would lead to a galaxy more able to deal with the tyranids, orks

#

and uh chaos too

tough timber
#

Oh I agree but a shattered Imperium would also be the breeding ground for all sorts of fuckery

vale shuttle
#

true that

#

if the imperium disintegrated into a bunch of petty kingdoms you can guarantee that a lot of them would keep their fascist tendancies

tough timber
#

Genestealers would be a menace, and Chaos Worlds would be set up so damn quick

vale shuttle

you can guarantee a lot of them would become military juntas lead by space marines

and yeah we can guarantee chaos worlds cropping up like weeds

tough timber

ayep.

#

Tau: "ah, the Imperium has fallen, perhaps now is the time to unite the-"

#

"oh what in the everloving fuck"

#

just a tidal wave of Chaos and Tyranid expansion

vale shuttle
#

the good thing about chaos and tyranids is that chaos is extremely fractured and fights with itself more than anyone else and that tyranid / genestealer cults could probably be more easily contained by the tau

#

i have to imagine the tau offer a far more robust healthcare system than the imperium which would probably be able to catch genestealers more effectively than the imperium's uuuhh

tough timber
#

entirely possible but alternatively the Tau might have entirely the wrong initial strategy

distinct lack of caring about lmao

totally true!

tough timber
#

Genestealer Cults join the Tau and just immediately gain so much genetic material

#

"why didn't we do this sooner, these fools don't even know"

vale shuttle
#

genestealer cults are very dangerous, but i think that they'd struggle more in tau spaces

#

cause like, genestealer cults are often worker revolts or gangs or other insurgent forces

tough timber
#

once the danger is understood for sure

vale shuttle
#

yeah

#

the tau actually give a shit about quality of life, so they'd probably be able to prevent the kinds of groups the genestealer cults tend to prey on

#

unlike the imperium who are all like "suffering builds character"

tough timber
#

for sure, but the Tyranids are also very adaptable, and would likely be able to try the "diplomatic" route

vale shuttle

oohhhh that'd be super interesting

tough timber
#

back to less disgusting entities, Genestealers infiltrating the Tau would have a fucking smorgasbord

vale shuttle
#

genestealers dont really use the genetics they take though, they just kind offff

#

integrate into the society.

tough timber
#

looking at the list of Tau species and it's like 3 Majors and like 2 dozen Minors.

vale shuttle
#

if the tyranids got into a tau core-world we'd have a problem

#

but genestealers themselves don't really adapt the genetic traits of their victims in the same way tyranids do

tough timber
#

well yeah, but you know if they had that kind of access the Tyranids would be incoming real fast

vale shuttle
#

i think that the tyranids can arrive centuries after a genestealer cult rises up

#

which while not a super long timescale wrt 40k which has about 10k years of history, it is fairly long for the tau

#

i think there's a decent chance the tau could nip it in the bud

#

unfortunately it would mean the tau would probably still have to fight a tyranid fleet but

#

i mean they're going to need to do it eventually anyway

tough timber
#

aye but I think the possibility of Genestealers being able to be open about their existence would be a key difference

#

without the stigma of the Imperium they could probably ramp up their overall goals

orchid thicket
#

From a meta perspective it wouldn't mean much for genstealers to get into a Tau core world I think

#

Considering that GW likes to throw Chaos daemons at Terra itself because they don't know how else to raise the stakes

vale shuttle

this is absolutely true

orchid thicket
#

It's insulting that the Solar System, which is arguably the most fortified star system in the galaxy, just gets infiltrated by Chaos over and over again

vale shuttle

but the 40k timeline moves so erratically and unpredictably that speculating on what's likely to happen next feels

#

kind of pointless

tough timber

oh it most certainly is functionally pointless

but it's fun

vale shuttle
#

now for my essay on why we should have a 40k end times to really shake up the whole affair, and then get booed out of the room for it lmao

orchid thicket

It's that all the factions are set up to gain a power level or two

tough timber

Emperor's Box of Troubles gets brought out and opened, inside is a lil holo recording. "Well fuck, good luck."

orchid thicket

with Chaos getting stronger, the Imperium getting its primarchs back, the Eldar with Ynnead, Necrons waking up, Tyranid main hive fleets approaching, etc.

I don't know about Ynnead though, I heard he was a no-show

and once again Chaos is the favored son of GW for some reason

ynnari are basically fucked

GW wrote them into a corner and i think they've shelved the entire thing

the eldar are generally one of the more poorly-treated factions

ynnari really drew the shortest straw however, i can't think of any other faction that has like

#

a big goal that's literally unworkable

orchid thicket
#

Well, there's rousing the Emperor from the Golden Throne

#

actually isn't the Golden Throne slowly failing? Much like my computer monitor of 10+ years

vale shuttle
#

nah even the emperor getting up is more likely than the ynnari getting the cronesword

#

if the emperor dies there's a chance he gets up. if he 'ascends' to godhood via worship he gets up. if the golden throne is repaired maybe he gets up.

also yeah the golden throne has been slowly failing since forever.

Well it's great. I feel the urge to help the Emperor and save Horus even if it costs me my life

#

i have a feeling the emperor's gonna die

#

just a hunch tho

orchid thicket
#

Hmm maybe

#

Also funny and tiny little lore tidbit

#

There's a certain adventurer party that's trying to get into the Imperial Palace

#

and they have a proto-Astartes with them

vale shuttle
#

thunder warrior??

orchid thicket
#

Nope, prototype for the space marine legionary

#

His geneseed is unique, its from before the Primarch bloodstock was split up

#

He has a "Union M66 Autobolter" chambered for 0.75 bolts

#

Union Strong, can't go wrong.

#

which is obviously from before Legiones Astartes standard issue boltguns

#

and I just find it funny that that's the last sci-fi sounding weapon in the franchise

#

After that it's all "Godwyn-pattern" or "Phobos-pattern"

#

Sounds like good lad.

#

Personality-wise, he's flatter than the ||Alpha Legionnaire|| who tags along with them but perhaps that's intentional

tough timber
#

Needs more Ogryn. Like Gav Daemonslayer.

orchid thicket
#

Oh yeah I haven't seen even a single Ogryn throughout the Siege

tough timber
#

y'see, thas why all is gone to gruttin' hel. Not nuff Ogryn bein' allowed to do what Ogryn do best.

#

Be best lads and smash bads.

It is

#

but it's one of those background plot points that will never be expanded upon

#

Much like the emperor will never get off the golden throne

#

or ynnead will never be born

#

Or the great waaaaagh will never form

#

those are

#

end times level, setting ending events

orchid thicket
#

Or rather

#

Setting upgrading events

#

Everyone gets a tech level so everyone is still equal anyway

open pumice
#

No those are

#

the end of 40k

#

theres tone shifts and status quo shifts

#

and then theres

#

doing a 180 and completely leaving the identity of a setting behind

#

any one of those does the latter

#

or gets written poorly and is ulktimately disapointing

#

"the ynnari find the last crone sword and make ynnead, but because we can't just kill off 1/4th of the already laughably small chaos codex, not to mention EC marines, dakr elves, etc, he sits around and does nothing ever for some dumb ass contrived reason"

#

"The great waaagh finally happens, but we can't justify killing off atleast half of the setting, and most of the major characters, so like, they don't actually accomplish anything, and its all a great bust"

orchid thicket
#

Honestly it would be the perfect excuse to release more models

#

If the Imperium gets its primarchs back, the Necrons wake up more, and the tips of the Tyranid main hive fleets start pouring into the galaxy, no-one would have the military advantage since everyone is just flat-out more powerful

odd palm
#

I’d prefer if the Primarchs didn’t slowly force their way back into the setting, the loyalists ones that is.
I’m concerned the line between 30k and 40k will start to blur
