literally every single time someone brings up LGBT issues in relation to 40k at all they bring up slaanesh, god of degeneracy and excess and it's like

#

bro could you be more of a bastard?

#

we both know what you're saying, even if you're too much of a weasel to explicitly say it to my face

Maidenless Behaviour the lot of them

#

nowadays i just ask, "What do you mean by this?"

#

i go straight for the socratic method

#

because when i ask that they typically retreat to "Oh, y'know..." Or "do I have to explain...?"

#

and when i say "Yes." they either shut the fuck up or take off the mask

crimson kayak
#

i imagine their minds going blank when this question appears

orchid lark
#

I thought youd be on my side kinda behaviour

#

when the echo chambers goes silent, the paper man can crumble

#

people will say the most vile shit to you if they think you're a cishet white guy, it's unbelievable

#

don't you have any shame?

orchid lark
#

I've literally just stopped going to those places and just lived better honestly

copper patrol
#

I never went

#

ive stayed in my lane for almost a year now

and Ive been better

I still look at grimdank memes

but I never read the comments

Im drawing more, writing more, and walking more

Grimdank sucks, I just make memes with my friends and lifes good

copper patrol
#

i used to find some of them funny

#

but not had any funni ones recently

#

i like reading and engaing with 40k stuff, it's fun, but i don't have an infinte amount of models to paint and i don't have the ability to paly games more than once a week

copper patrol

(like last year recently)

crimson kayak
#

i just watch Tek and Mek if i want 40k memes

#

I literally don't even play the games

so i end up on 40klore on reddit which is fine, like, a decent amount of the time but

most of the ex-citadel stuff is just historicals though

wtf is this result for 'slaan' on google

a lot of ex-citadels were historicals that could be used as Empire in early Warhammer

you know, its weird to think

if GW had given the rights to their IP to fledgling blizzard, then "World of Warhammer" would be the biggest MMO in the world and warhammer fantasy would never have been blown up

#

||and instead we'd have the writers at blizzard slowly destroying the fantasy setting through their sheer incompetence||

vale shuttle
orchid lark
#

What if Grimdark was made for not grimdark fans

coarse pumice
#

Blizzard probably would have been become 'license game guys', so WoW might never have come into existence

#

which completely changes a lot of things

orchid lark
#

Orks would never be green

think about that

man i hate infiniy minis. there is SO MUCH highlighting making those looks good and once you actually look at them in person it's clear you'll never do it.

this is one of mine

I kind of miss some of the older, more adventurous designs

Is that a Van Saar model ?

TAGs are basically Infinity's Dreadnought equivalent

poking out

orchid lark
#

good cause Appleseed was fucking awesome

coarse pumice

and GITS

#

And smaller

coarse pumice
#

the size is a bridge between heavy infantry and a vehicle, and the big arms mirror the movement of the operator's arms

crimson kayak
#

i hate these designs only because the small arms are easy targets for explosives

copper patrol
#

or anything really

#

that's why I don't like the nundams

#

xbox ninja, this is normal 28mm on a 25mm base, so the scale is similar to 40k

#

If a SM gets tapped to become part of the Deathwatch, do they have a choice in the matter?

green loom
#

They can be sent both as volunteers and as punishment/banishment

summer rover
#

if there was any concern they wouldn't do it i doubt they'd consider them

green loom
#

Plus

#

If you're being selected

#

It's for a purpose built team vs a specific threat

#

And it probably means you're what they'd consider an "expert"

#

Which is high praise and also a massive honour

#

So most marines probably wouldn't refuse

crimson kayak
#

Didn't knew they remastered the original crimson fist cover and made it both primaris and firstborn

orchid lark
#

some chapters are very isolated and prefer to be on their own, so being sent Deathwatch is a punishment, some chapters love being sent to the deathwatch because its an honour

crimson kayak
coarse pumice
#

the original one IMO is more intense

#

it's by quite a famous artist

orchid lark

#

it's crimson fists, this happens all the time for them.

also look at that fucking power fist

You use your buddy's corpse as cover

War, war never changes

green loom
#

Or does it

#

The answer is no

#

Unless it is yes

#

The war has changed

signal bramble
summer rover
#

i mean deathwatch is the same as they already normally do, to space wolves it's probably a good training exercise in cooperating

orchid lark
#

Grey Hunters and Longclaws probably go into the Deathwatch and come back to a nice promotion

#

Wolf Scouts or Wolfguard

orchid lark
#

its a shame they didnt show Cyrus in DoW2 with a silver shoulderpad

green loom
#

It's an honour you can wear

#

Like how Marneus doesn't wear his

They just ask single marine minimum to deathwatch

They dont specify it further other than hoping veteran personel

Gotta be whiteshields somewhere, so probably. Creed isnt that much of a dick to expect kids to stay and die

I unironically like that movie

Was nice to have

But plot shitty

What movie thumbsup_ogryn

I still quote and say “Get up and kill this beast”

And the way terrence stamp said “we march for macragge!”

Yeah but as Tetrach he could be a bit more different now

i mean, yeah but we never actually see if tetrarch's have any kind of different stuff

When in doubt

Go look at greyall’s 40k art

#

oh, that's a storm bolter at a weird angle.

#

actually, i'ts kinda weird there's not more space marines with storm bolters aside from terminators.

crimson kayak
#

Isn't it said that it's unwieldy without terminator armour?

summer rover
#

we see captians using them one-handed, so they're probably no that hard for power armor to manage.

#

trading away the squad's heavy/special options for a full ten-man storm bolter squad would have some good uses.

#

White Shield are the younger guardsmen, who are too young to be in the propper Imperial Guard

From what we've seen about 20year

Other than that is mostly memes

signal bramble
#

There were.

#

Though keep in mind Cadians don’t have traditional families. They have organized breeding programs.

They’re also continuing that breeding program aboard their ships as they travel between war zones as they’re now a fleet based regiment.

GW pricing lore

#

i miss blister packs. and metal. metal alwasy ended up being a better deal over the long run

coarse pumice

yeah sadbydo

Metal minis aren’t better then plastic imo

i dunno how highschoolers make armies now.

But metal minis were better

Then finecast

metal minis are way worse to plastic

the heft is nice though

Blunt force trauma weapon

coarse pumice
#

the older metals like those one piece fire dragons were really nice to build

#

the weigh gave a nice premium feel too

midnight ore
#

how did people kitbash?

coarse pumice
#

same as you do now, just take bits out, chop them up and glue them together

midnight ore
#

gotta become a whole ass forge master

arctic talon
#

Nah

#

The metal is easy to deal with

coarse pumice
#

also, for marines it was really easy

#

you just swapped arms or guns

#

at least for a handful of them which were segmented

#

they would have metal/plastic hybrids like that

#

and it's not as if these chopped up CAD minis are that easy to do now

#

the new plastics go together in quite specific ways

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

Kitbashing is still easy imo

#

You need to do a lot more cutting tho

#

But I never grew up with metal minis

#

So shrugpriest

coarse pumice
#

metal was the same really (just one piece or two piece), or easy for some marines and a few others

arctic talon
#

Sounds about right

#

Only metal minis I’ve ever messed around with were some old eldar ones I got in a lot

#

Fun to use them for an autarch

coarse pumice
#

the difficult ones is when weapons are held close to the body so they're moulded in

summer rover
#

those are still a problem tho, it's mostly you've gotta drill the whole thing out which is easier with plasitcs.

I used to have like 200 pewter dnd models.

#

The Cadian blood book refers to “an age of majority.”

#

So that could be 16-18.

#

Since that age is different in different countries.

#

But keep in mind Cadian children are taught to use and clean a lasgun at a very young age.

#

So even if they don’t join until a certain age, they spend their life prepping for it.

crisp heath
#

I mean Cadians specifically have White Shields, but the impression I get from a lot of novels is that most authors consider the age of majority in the Imperium to be around 14, since that's the age characters usually start seeing serious legal consequences or get conscripted

signal bramble
#

I imagine it depends on the planet but either way they’re going to make sure the tithe is paid.

crisp heath
#

14 is also about the age a lot of chapters start putting potential marines through the trials

summer rover
#

it's also the target age of hooking warhammer players

storm jungle
#

Also writing about child soldiers in your haha-funny-plastic-men game is not really that favored.

#

Remember, brutally murdering adults in fiction is fine

#

Kids are much more of a no-no depending on the media

#

You ever read Lightning Run?

#

That's pretty depressing

storm jungle

Yep

Not every Hero of the Imperium gets to be like Cain

yeah Vulkan was unironically one of the most xenophobic of the primarchs

coarse pumice
#

didn't he give Eldrad a personal gift

#

which then was taken by some harlequin to the imperial Palace

when one of them soloed some custodes

The War of the Beast was very stupid

"I have this random ass fang from a Primarch trust me bro"

How much weed would it take to make a Primarch stoned

copper patrol
#

I assume most drugs just wouldn't work on primarchs

coarse pumice
#

we don't know anything about primarch physiology

summer rover
#

i think they have a gland they can just trigger to get high anyway

coarse pumice
#

it could be they are totally immune or extremely susceptible

#

or somewhere in between

#

I hope Yarrick doesn't come back

#

It'd be pretty great if he gets Martyred in a big battle

instead of coming back, have him reborn in a fantasy world

It's not as complicated as I'd like

"I was killed in battle and reborn as a witch hunter of Sigmar, and I'm still missing an eye"

He'll get a mini and he'll die

be yarrick
fight orks on armageddon for a century
finally die, free from the orks
reborn in averland
life is pretty chill, get to make cheese now
Hear invaders are coming at us from black fire pass
"the orcs will kill us all!"
I'm so fucking done. why do these greencels always ruin things?

storm jungle
#

Either way tho yeah we'll see

#

my money is on a Warzone: Armageddon book

#

yarrick's entire "death" is made like a sus CIA after-action report so we'll see

#

he'll deffo get a new mini update because $$$

summer rover
#

GW refuses to kill off characters, all the dead dudes in fantasy started dead. they're gonna give him some bullshit primarus treatment

storm jungle
#

I mean its Yarrick

#

also money

green loom
#

I hope we get Steel Legion....

#

Hey aren't those reveals tomorrow?

summer rover
#

i'd prefer he stay dead at this point because armageddon duex, greenskin boogaloo just isn't interesting. come up with a new conflict instead of dragging this one out for a billion years and making it look like a wet noodle fight

plush mason
#

just get that rando space wolf to kill Ghaz for good this time, easy

coarse pumice
#

plot Twist: it's a historical one set in the past

summer rover
#

at this point armageddon isn't even interesting, does the planet even do anything besides foght orks anymore? doesn't seem to produce things for anyone, which was why it used to be important.

orchid lark
#

Its also Ullanor

#

So thats why orks want it

plush mason
#

its like Krieg afaik. all it can produce is troops

crisp heath
#

Let's assume Vulkan is 12 foot even, and thus weighs 368 pounds pounds, which would be overweight by means of muscle. It takes only 3 mg of inhaled THC for a 178 pound male to become impaired, so it would take at least 6.2 mg of THC to impair a primarch. However, let's assume that primarch immunity is not perfect and a trace amount of a substance remains in the system. Assuming it is near 100, we have 100/6.2= 16.12, so we multiply the dose by 16, so it would take 99 mg of inhaled THC to effect vulkan assuming he has never been high before.

storm jungle
#

so no

crisp heath
#

@sonic willow

orchid lark
#

Valhallans are also Ork Killers

crisp heath
#

In other words, a primarch would have to smoke a whole gram to get the same effect a normal human would get from one hit their first time smoking

copper patrol
#

368 seems

#

not right

#

for wieght

summer rover
#

closer to 600, really

storm jungle
#

should have been 420 pounds

green loom
#

4/20 is my favourite day of the year

crisp heath
#

I also found the density of the Witch King of Angmar one time, let me see if I can find that

#

I don't remember the number but I remember he was significantly less dense than air, meaning if he took the armor off he should float away

#

Lost the math 😦

orchid lark
#

Primachs ought to be overweight for their height

#

Like rugby players in real life for the most part

#

Theres a lot of muscle and water in their bodies for sure

copper patrol
#

they are also likely more dense anyway

orchid lark
#

Yeah

#

Wolffs law as well

#

Their bones may not be like ours

copper patrol
#

they definitely aren't like ours

orchid lark
#

Some of it would be harder or thicker in some places

#

Since 90% of our blood comes from our bones

#

There would need to be some changes

copper patrol
#

my guess is 600-800 pounds or more

orchid lark
#

For sure

uneven temple
#

Not much about the primarchs makes that much hard sense even in universe

#

Like sangiunius comes to the conclusion that his wings aren't big enough to let him fly but he can

orchid lark
#

birds fly because of hollow their bones are

#

but Sanguinius breaks daemon bones easier than his own bones broke

#

Its just magic

brisk beacon
#

Time to hit this PR boys

crimson kayak
#

Considering space marines already have to brew toxic alcohol that shuts down both their kidneys and their anti-venom/poison gland just to get drunk, and they have to drink tons of it to stay drunk, I think a primarch could very well just be immune to 90% of substances

That respirator box is definetly repurposed as the desth korps one is much more old school looking

It's more like a satchel with the actual box inside

a lunch pack

Yep, can confirm by looking at the veteran guards killteam that it's a satchel with something inside

orchid lark
#

its their caprisun packets

Being WW1 flavoured, it's probably based on one of these

I dont know why that made me laugh that bad

green loom
#

I mean think about it

They're into that crazy-fanatic-murder thing by default

Only thing stopping them from massacring friendlies is them being vaguely aligned, and even that doesn't stop them sometimes

vale shuttle
#

aren't black templars just normal spess mareens

#

cant they fall to corruption liek any other?

#

because chaos corruption seems to be based on what you are not anything else for some reason :|

green loom
#

They're very big Religious fanatics which gives them a pass with zeal

#

So like sisters they usually die before they get a chance to be corrupted

vale shuttle
#

fair enough

But yeah

You nudge them a bit and they go nuts

yeah the Indomitus Fleet that got corrupted had both sisters and primaris marines fall

theres an hilarious excerpt on it, 1 sec

I THINK so

#

I have to decide who's less annoying to validate, obnoxious khorne fans or obnoxious BT fans

storm jungle

BT fans tbh

#

mostly because almost 90% of them turn out to be weird crusade apologists and fascists

They at least didn't get a gutted codex and some eh models

So they're more deserving ig

#

How come BT get special sculpts while DA just get stock Bladeguard to go with their literal returned Primarch thumbsdown_ogryn

because BT is a marginally more intersting chapter than DA :P

#

Yeah I totally missed the rampant crappy crusader memes being repeated in a 40k costume....

Ig Helbrecht is cool, Grimaldus is cool as well but he never shows up anymore

You also can't forget the Peasant's crusade that marauded it's way through most of Southern Europe

but it also means their recruits are better conditioned for warfare i guess

iirc the blood ravens hold "blood trials" which are just gladiatorial fights for their prospective recruits

True, but it mean that its organised like that, while both IF and SW just go and watch actual l/unrelated fights to pick their recruit

plush mason

yeah

I wonder how they take the recruit though. Like do they sprint on the battle field and just yoink them away or do they do it stealthy and just join the prospect at a bar, roofies them and take them away

plush mason
#

good question

orchid lark
#

in space wolves, Wolf Priests wait in Thunderhawks whilst watching two tribes fight to the death

#

surviving boys under 13-15 are then taken

#

even if they were mortal enemies

#

For Imperial Fists or most chapters who recruit from hiveworlds they kinda do the same

#

wait for a gang war to break out

#

look for survivors or arrest them

#

and youre a okay

#

but on Terra and Inwit for Imperial Fists the kids have to go to like some place known for recruitment

#

and survive the journey

#

Blood Angels have all the kids leave their villages and journey to Angels Fall

#

if they survive they are then grouped into twos and are then forced to fight each other

#

the chaplain then has to "make" the winner kill the loser

#

if the winner does try to kill the loser, they are not chosen

The people who never played the fantasy tabletop game

#

But hate GW over fantasy dying are weird

#

They’re objectively the reason why fantasy died

#

Because it literally wasn’t profitable to maintain as a game

crisp heath
#

To be fair, most people of those probably only ever heard of warhammer fantasy through total warhammer, vermintide, and maybe vermintide

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Which don’t make that much money for GW

#

Compared to the miniature market

#

Which is why imo warhammer the old world might be doomed to fail if they don’t fix warhammer fantasy’s fundamental issues as a tabletop game

crisp heath
#

would suck to get invested in that setting then find out it's all pretty much gone with a set storyline that says everyone dies, limiting other potential virtual forays, and the successor setting potentially straight up ignores some of the factions people may have liked

arctic talon
#

The fact that everyone dies in vermintide is an appeal imo

#

What they do is ultimately worthless

#

But they do it anyways

#

Even against the worst odds

#

And as a tabletop game warhammer fantasy sort of sucked ass

#

Mostly since you needed so much chaff

#

Like an insane amount of it

#

Like

crisp heath
#

GW may make most of their money from minis but should that be the be all end all to a setting? And even if it were, it seems obvious GW is trying to expand into other markets regardless, because otherwise they wouldn't be licensing out to literally any dev who asks, trying to start their own streaming service, etc.

arctic talon

You’d be looking at buying at least 500$ of chaff infantry per army at least

arctic talon
#

GW as a company has changed a ton

#

Nowadays they don’t only care about selling minatures

#

They communicate to the community

#

And they actually do shit

#

Instead of just not saying a thing and shitting out more crap for consumers to buy

#

GW has improved a ton as a company

#

Old GW wouldn’t even consider rebooting old systems like the current one has

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

Fantasy you had to have that chaff

#

Or else you couldn’t play

#

The rules fundamentally didn’t work

#

You could literally play a really simplified 40k game with 2 boxes of units if you wanted

#

That was impossible for fantasy

#

Fantasy was objectively a failure as a game system

crisp heath
#

Fantasy probably should have been made in something closer to an epic scale considering the historical formation fighting it seems to have been made to try to replicate
