40k-lore-chat

[orchid lark]

now everyone and their mothers got a SCP

[vale shuttle]

i once tried to write an SCP but i just couldn't get it working

it was an anomalous mobile kill team trhat would receive extradimensional orders

from an alternate foundation

[orchid lark]

The Base

(get it cause, a base is a foundation, and vice versa...)

[crisp heath]

the problem with the scp foundation is that it became too developed by a billion different writers into an actual setting which took away from the creepy factor

[crimson kayak]

wait, don't the official scp's have to get approved or somethinG?

[vale shuttle]

SCPs can be removed if they get downvoted too much, or if the mods think it's bad, but you can just throw up an SCP

[crimson kayak]

uh

[celest dome]

I only used the SCP setting to run Delta Green game, worked quite well

[crimson kayak]

i mean

if you go look at the list

3/4 are just ACCESS DENIED

[vale shuttle]

access denied on the list is just "Here's an open number for your entry."

[crimson kayak]

so i guess they did make 8 series, but didn't fill any of them fully

[crimson kayak]

yeah

[crisp heath]

the modern version of "an incomprehensible, degenerate, alien gibbering form so horrific that it would drive you mad if I even began to describe it"

[vale shuttle]

i should check back in a few years to see which SCPs get the coveted "9999" and "10000" slots

[green loom]

Reminder that Stormcast are pretty based

[storm jungle]

Its funny because its true

[crimson kayak]

wait they can also redeem people fallen to chaos?

i didn't knew that

[storm jungle]

Its rare cases but they mostly can yeah

[celest dome]

I knew there was something like that in Fantasy but not in AoS

[crimson kayak]

yeah obviously i don't think they just go and WOLOLO them

[storm jungle]

Yeee exactly

AoS is high fantasy and more spirit-based with sigmar being an actually active god, so he can perform similiar miracles like that

[celest dome]

In fantasy it's putting the Chaos Devotee in a large barrel with special flames that burn the Chaos Away

[storm jungle]

Stormcasts have some Astartes-tier dogmatic hosts but most of them are chosen because they convey good warrior virtues and may offer redemption to some chaos warriors

its when they constantly die and lose their personalities that they become no better than your average joe astartes which they consider a fate worse than death

[green loom]

It's either that

Or

[storm jungle]

kek

Or just the Destiny respawn thing

where they can get into spots and die from where they can't get resurrected and die permanently

[green loom]

Then you have Based Bastian who fought Ascendant Archeon while he was mortal, and threw his mortal ass into the anvil to get it over with

[storm jungle]

🙏

[green loom]

And Vandus
Who is a dick

[vale shuttle]

everytthing i learn about AoS makes me think 40k should get an AoS-style reboot

like, AoS seems so much more cool and fun and while i do love 40k, there's also a big pile of things i dislike

ah well maybe one day i'll just bite the bullet and make an AoS army

[green loom]

Nihilus atm has similar narrative potential to AoS

But 40k narratives are handled so badly that you'll never get a good scenario

[vale shuttle]

yeah but most of the time when we hear about nihilis it's...

it's "The Imperium of Man continues to badassfully reconquer Nihilis. They're so hot and cool."

[green loom]

Based

Now post it in #darktide-memes

[orchid lark]

you know how I feel about those dumbasses

[vale shuttle]

i'll do it

[orchid lark]

i literally cant see half of memes because I blocked a lot of folks

[vale shuttle]

im gonna do it

[green loom]

I wonder if this counts as promoting negativity

[orchid lark]

youre starting a row at the expense of others

[vale shuttle]

bro i hate to tell you this but 40k is alreayd made to maximise corporate profits

[green loom]

Yeah it's way of doing things is uniquely bad

They pour all the good ideas into AoS and just use 40k to milk SM fans

[storm jungle]

^

[orchid lark]

im happy with that

[storm jungle]

Its been said all the best model makers are apparently on the AOS department which... explains a lot honestly lmao

[vale shuttle]

if i were to reboot 40k the main thing i would do is make "renegade humans" a viable choice

as well as making your own little xenos empires as well

[green loom]

They are
But they're stomped out in exposure by loyalists so hard both officially and in fan content that you literally just don't see them

[vale shuttle]

this way you could have people play as not-fascists without having a bunch of nerds kick down the door and be all like "THE IMPERIUM WOULD KILL THEM IN TWENTY MINUTES"

[orchid lark]

if I could reboot 40k I want space marines and eldar to kiss

have my dollies kiss each other

[celest dome]

Or the AoS managers are much more lax and give the AoS model maker much more freedom.
Instead of making them do SM 2023 model 10+

[green loom]

Mfw Dawn of War

[celest dome]

Love can Bloom ?

[orchid lark]

I'll play with my dolls how I want

[vale shuttle]

based and cutepilled

[green loom]

Early AoS started with primaris style kits for Stormcast

Where every weapon option was a different fkn box

[vale shuttle]

thjis is really the main thing i'd be doing on a 40k reboot: i'd make it so Your Dudes would be less limited

[green loom]

Now they've moved away from that and have doubled down on it for marines

[orchid lark]

well you could always make your dudes

[vale shuttle]

yes, i know

[orchid lark]

GW likes when people make their little dudes cause its free word of mouth marketing

its just the rest of everyone has something to damn well say

[vale shuttle]

yeah i'd try to reduce this by adding at least a few canonical examples of like, renegade humans, mixed empires, and other fan-controversial ideas

[crimson kayak]

i also like the fact in fantasy/AoS not all daemon princes are colossal monsters

[orchid lark]

id add more bullshit for other factions, so they can have stupid custodes equivalents

[vale shuttle]

||make harlequins eldar custodes on the tabletop please||

[green loom]

Worth it? Worth it

[orchid lark]

Gallows humour only works when the comedian and audience are the ones on the gallows.

[vale shuttle]

darktide discord, is it gay if i notice how thicc repentia thighs are while i paint them?

[storm jungle]

No its not

Sororitas are pretty physically peak

[vale shuttle]

so i should strive for that sororitas body

[green loom]

I mean idk laceration is pretty painful

[vale shuttle]

pain is just weakness leaving the body or something

[storm jungle]

my favorite TF2 quote

no wait-

[queen laurel]

If i remember the closest named custodes equivalents for the orks is ghazghkull's Goff guard

[crimson kayak]

either that or prime-orks

[storm jungle]

[crimson kayak]

...why is that so familiar? i mean, outside of being ork batman

[storm jungle]

its the burton batmobile, might be why lmao

[crimson kayak]

oh no ok, found the culprit, the central turbine made me remember the car of the bad guy from wacky races

even through everything else is completely different

[queen laurel]

"Bat boy the dark git"

And his vehicle the bat buggy

I like to imagine instead of black he's colored purple

[arctic talon]

They’re already arguably more elite rn

You don’t get many harlequins

And each one hits like a goddamn truck

[crimson kayak]

Yeah Eldar are arguably the only ones with a custodes equivalent in the form of harlequins

[rose thorn]

I’m excited for 10th it’s definitely gonna have the biggest boom in custom subfactions

[crimson kayak]

yeah, i noticed also that 10ed (alongside a couple other wargames) are moving toward more "accessible" models like the new Leviathan box ones or Warmachine's 4th edition ones that are already magnetized, so that would mean people a bit less scared to also bring said custom idea's to tabletop

[rose thorn]

I think besides CSM I might mostly go with custom shit for all the factions in 40k

And ynnari

And demons

But that’s a givin

I like the white scars

But I think I’d struggle making an army of them

[orchid lark]

I have some custom stuff for csm but.. Word Bearers and Iron Warriors

[rose thorn]

Word bearers 💕✨💕

[orchid lark]

Word bearers are very much in my feel

Chaos full force

[rose thorn]

Yea

[orchid lark]

Its the flavourful feel

Iron Warriors is the cold steel of it

A decent enough foil for the Space Marines own cold steel

But you gotta cultist heavy with both for the flavour

Which adds room to style

[rose thorn]

I’m stuck between stealing a successor and making a custom

[orchid lark]

For who

[rose thorn]

Loyalest

[orchid lark]

Word Bearers?

[rose thorn]

Space marine

[orchid lark]

Nothings stopping you from both

[rose thorn]

True

[orchid lark]

I kinda wanted to steal at first

Loved Red Wings for Blood Angels

And Tome Keepers

But ended up making my own

[rose thorn]

Yea I think I’m gonna be weird and make a successor for each of the non codex not counting DW

[orchid lark]

Join the club

[rose thorn]

But make a custom for normal marines

Idk I haven’t found a successor im sold on

[orchid lark]

I have a custom successor for each essentially

[rose thorn]

I had an idea I liked for a da successor

Who are on a quest to find a new Caliban

[green loom]

Why non codex

[orchid lark]

Flexible

[rose thorn]

Space wolves / dark angels / blood angels have their own play styles

Separate from space marines

Dw too

But they re the French vanilla of vanilla marines

[orchid lark]

People forget Space Wolves is a shooty army

[rose thorn]

Shame I don’t like Vikings

Or

Space wolves

[orchid lark]

My OC successor for wolves follows the Legion Space Wolves, headhunters and trackers

[green loom]

Kill all Space wolves

[rose thorn]

Also technically WS are non codex but it’s only in name

Agreed

[green loom]

Except Lukas

Being non codex compliant is skill issue ong

[rose thorn]

I WILL hate space wolves

[orchid lark]

There are no Wolves on Fenris

[rose thorn]

‘Healing powders

[orchid lark]

Wink wink

[rose thorn]

ICE GUNS

[green loom]

Yeah they're mutated humans

[rose thorn]

Except for Russ’s wolves

[orchid lark]

Thunderwolves were like what

Rhinos right?

[rose thorn]

Which are giant wolves

[orchid lark]

They had more common dna to a rhino

[green loom]

Those are mutated humans according to Magnus

[orchid lark]

There are no wolves on fenris

[rose thorn]

The same chaos mutations that make beast men in 40k I wonder?

[celest dome]

Think not, as they are Wolf like Spirit/Daemon, so would be guided mutation, more akin to the Skin-Wolves of Fantasy

[crisp heath]

Okay but what if... there are only wolves on fenris

[orchid lark]

thats the fan assumption on Felinids

like, did human engineering that focused on survivability just made humans change into animals

[celest dome]

Wasn't it assumed to be man made modification for reasons
That are unsavoury

[orchid lark]

probably

like isnt the Grox like the most widespread animal

[crisp heath]

i still find it hard to believe grox are more common than livestock we have right now when apparently horses and dogs still see widespread useage

[celest dome]

Well Grox are very hardy and easy to mass produce

Plus their hide can be used to make heavy leather

[green loom]

Dogs and horses are useful for warfare, Grox are likely more logistically sound than other livestock, so got spread far and wide to make use of it

[dapper cloak]

Ye grox can adapt to alot of different places

[rose thorn]

Ooooo I’m gonna consume the prophets of Mercury chapter

And use it for my future seeing dudes

They have been considered martyr extremis

JAGDUSAGAHHAAHHAHDHEHAHA

AHGSGSHAHAAH

‘Oh hey the abyssal wars what is this’

“Oh cool the judged, the prophets of Mercury are considered one of these duded”

presses the wiki link to the judged

[green loom]

Martyrdom usually means dying

[rose thorn]

I see no reason they can’t be refounded

and I can say their home planet is mercury

And all the Mercury lore is that

‘There’s mining, and all the pykers were killed’

[storm jungle]

Me when people ask what Zealot personality i play

[rose thorn]

jhagajjHSHSJAH

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/sean-connery-james-bond-smokin-gif-19024947

anyway im done sorry

[rose thorn]

NO IYS AMAIZNGgauahshha

This neeeds to be a new warhammer meme

Risen, the

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-gif-26454802

[rose thorn]

‘Who do you hail from chaos space marine’

‘Fallen, the’

Also I forgot wasn’t there whacky shit going on with solar’s sun?

I mean

What is Terra’s solar system called again

Is it still solar?

[green loom]

Sol/Solar

[rose thorn]

Ah ok

Wiat isn’t sol the sun?

OH NOOO

‘Sol of the sol solar system’

[green loom]

What is etymology

[rose thorn]

The study of the origin of words I guess

[green loom]

Now read this again

[rose thorn]

I know I wasn’t sure if they changed the name for 40k

[orchid lark]

The words sun and moon are referencing the celestial bodies

Sol is the name of the sun

[rose thorn]

Anyway, wasn’t there like, a fuckinh demon or Catan shard or something in the sol sun?

[orchid lark]

Much like Rao is the name of the sun for Krypton

[rose thorn]

Okay so

Sol of the sol solar system is correct

[orchid lark]

Sol System

[rose thorn]

Oh yeah that too

[orchid lark]

Much like the Baal System

Huh Baal is 3.4 AU from its sun

Very cold

It takes uh

21 minutes for light to reach Baal

I think?

7 minutes to 1 AU

[rose thorn]

I’m thinking for my lore it could be like ‘the prophets of mercury have been refounded only before a strange discovery of an uptick in pykers on the planet; believed to be caused by it being extremely close to the Sun. Mercury had formed a religious culture due to its proximity to Tera in which pykers are considered sacred figures and guide others with star readings, imperial tarots, and many other similar practices’

“While the newly founded chapter uses the geneseed of its predecessor the founding is still unsure”

And just use

The symbol for mercury for their chapter symbol

And I’m not sure on a color scheme

[orchid lark]

Quicksilver

The colour mercury

And red

[rose thorn]

Oooo

Good idea

[rose thorn]

my chapter's gimmick is that their pykers have visions and they believe they must ensure that the vision happens no mattter what

[crimson kayak]

Oh shit now that you say it its a whole chapter of konrad kurze

[coarse pumice]

the infamous harlequin land raider

[remote widget]

Listening to the eisenhorn series for the first time here, are Demons immune to nulls?

Cherubael laughing in the face of a null seemed odd

[celest cedar]

Guys. are the Elysian Drop Troops inspired by American airborne divisions? 101st? 82nd?

Are they the "American" regiments. alongside the Harakoni Warhawks?

[summer rover]

the US isn't the only one with airborne troops, mate. and the stupid carrying handles everywhere suggest they're probably some EU faction.

[storm jungle]

It depends on their power level and also the Null's one

Cherubael is crazy OP its why hes like "Bitch get out of my face lmao"

[arctic talon]

Harkoni warhawks are inspired by modern Nato airborne divisions

[celest cedar]

Something about the name Elysian drop troops immediately made me think 101st airborne.

[celest cedar]

I thought they were more American

[arctic talon]

They have elements from all NATO nations but they most closely resemble American yes

The same way krieg is mostly French and British except for the helmet and naming convention

[celest cedar]

damn

[astral whale]

How is Justice poisoned?

Isn’t that the Arbites whole thing?

[green loom]

"Justice is a tool poisoned by heretical manipulations, trust only in your righteous faith and let not the arguments of the wicked sway you"

Is how I imagine a particularly Puritan inquisitor would yap about it

[thick cedar]

What do staves do? Do they just help "ground" the psyker when casting?

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

NOOOO

[rose thorn]

I FOUND ANOTHER

SOMEONES FUCKINH WITH IT I SWEAR LMAO

[green loom]

More likely the website's borked

[winter vessel]

There’s a parody song of Harakoni Warhawks based off of Sabaton’s Screaming Eagles. Last I checked the EDT can have small sized vehicles deployed, which, if I can recall recently(last year), the 82nd AB now employ their Armored component

[rose thorn]

It happened on both wikis

[green loom]

Tetrarch gaming

[rose thorn]

Oh wiat

I found a better chaoter to eat

For my future vision guys

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/0/09/Imperial_Stars_Armor.png/revision/latest?cb=20160301014314

The imperial stars

[odd palm]

To eat?

[crisp heath]

It's supposed to be like that though?

[rose thorn]

I mean lex and fandom

I DONT KNOW

[crisp heath]

Yeah but like that's how an encyclopedia entry is supposed to be formatted

"[Subject], The" so that it can be searched alphabetically, otherwise you'd just have 90% of your articles under "The"

[rose thorn]

To steal the name and color scheme of them

Since they have zero lore

[odd palm]

Ah, fair

[rose thorn]

Okay here’s all the chapters I picked who’s name fits the theme

Imperial stars
Vorpal Blades
Star scorpions
Silver Swords
And marines August

Knocking off mariens august

Because the name is stupid

[odd palm]

Good thing you didn't choose star scorpions XD

[rose thorn]

They were on my list

Why?

[odd palm]

Name's got some baggage

[rose thorn]

Star scorpions?

Why

??

[odd palm]

Chaos corrupted chapter

[rose thorn]

Ohh

Okay then yeah imperial stars but I’ll improve the color scheme

Everyone give round of aplaws for the imperial stars

You will be inducted into my leviathan box

Or the space marine combat patrol if it’s gets

Scalped as fuck

[odd palm]

Not a fan of the purple scheme?

[rose thorn]

I@liek it

There’s just

Tooooo much purple

But I did want purple

Gw bless that old as fuck painting guide for random ass chapter

This is prettt good lol

[odd palm]

Fair, safe bet is to opt for silver and/or black to break up the purple.
Avoiding gold helps dodge the countless "Are they EC?"

[rose thorn]

Yeah the black totally

Black pauldren purple lines

In the symbol

[summer rover]

good ol' limemarines....

[rose thorn]

Mine are grape marines

[hushed kayak]

isn’t this the same person who loves slaneesh faction so much

[rose thorn]

Well they are royal purple broken by gold and white

This is koolaid purple

[hushed kayak]

lmao

[rose thorn]

Hey so I know first captains for the founding chapters are like

Usually best friends with the chapter master

Does that trend follow for successors?

[orchid lark]

Yes

First Captains are typically Regents

[queen laurel]

Why is this picture empty

[echo vault]

Favorite weapon pattern? The phaestos pattern flamer and all the Elysian drop trooper variants of weapons are very cool I hope we get more

[crimson kayak]

Krieg trench shotgun and merovech lasgun (sadly this one doesn't have images)

Also the navis las-volley too

[crimson kayak]

Shit, first time I see it

[celest dome]

Not sure where it's from though

[crimson kayak]

It should be from a rogue trader expansion

Into the storm if I remember right?

[celest dome]

For the Krieg, you want it as a new pattern or just cosmetic ?

[crimson kayak]

Could work as a new pattern

But even as a cosmetic only it would be good

I just want a revolving shotgun

Like, God damn

[celest dome]

Not sure how the special ammo would work i the case of a revolving shotgun, and the reload would take longer

Maybe it would need to be a separate shotgun

[crimson kayak]

Special ammo could work like the doom shotgun and have a full auto mode

[celest dome]

Could work

Could be fun

[crimson kayak]

Btw I was looking at the lexicanum acolyte page, and just looking at the archetypes there could be some cool ideas for future classes

[orchid lark]

Umbra

[celest dome]

What interst you the most ?

[rose thorn]

Oh hey the gsc have soemthjng similar

[crimson kayak]

Desperado and Hierophants principally, then Seekers and Pyroclasts

[celest dome]

For Vet, Zealot, Zealot and Zealot ?

[crimson kayak]

Vet, zealot, either, vet

[celest dome]

When you say seeker, you mean the Daemonine Seeker or the Seeker group (Cult Stalker, Judge...)

[crimson kayak]

Seeker group, basically an arbites/enforcer origin class

[celest dome]

Oh ok

[crimson kayak]

Hierophants as a form of support class obviously and well, Desperado would encompass all the Hive ganger/actually a criminal backgrounds

[celest dome]

I want to see a Zealot Enforcer as the/a ranged class, maybe with mechanic like the Witch Hunter (Pinged enemy take more damages), and Grail Knight or bounties

Vet I care the least about, but I think a Veteran Commissar,and a Veteran Stormtrooper

Zealto getting Crusader, Enforcer and Death Cult Assassin

[compact crescent]

it's real

[celest dome]

That's a Grenade Launcher though

[compact crescent]

looks close enough

[crimson kayak]

Oh, there's also the Ryza pattern that I can't manage to comprehend how it's supposed to work

[storm jungle]

it works by the power of 80's

[orchid lark]

loads like a garand

[storm jungle]

[crimson kayak]

Ah yes, the infamous Ryza Ping

Now that I think about it the new cadians also have this one that is really good looking

[storm jungle]

Its basically a more HD kantreal

hate it

[crimson kayak]

I mean, not really?

[storm jungle]

I hate it.

i like the old one more

brutalist and blocky

even Darktide uses it

[crimson kayak]

luckily with the new models you get both

[storm jungle]

[crimson kayak]

it's true lol

[celest dome]

Special Powerpack, the thing in front of the trigger is the Power pack

[orchid lark]

this should be the design going forward

return to rifle stocks

[rare knoll]

They are shock troopers, they have a carbine version of the lasgun. Makes sense to me

[green loom]

That's not the carbine version

[rare knoll]

Oh yeah because theres TOTALLY only one type of carbine lasgun

[storm jungle]

It's nothing about making sense, I just don't like the way they look

I genuinely doubt anyone looked at cadians and went "we totally know what shock troops are, give them a gun like this"

[rare knoll]

Its the same rifle, just a different casing. YOu can see with the barrel and mag

But whatever floats ya boat

[storm jungle]

I'm entirely aware

I just like the old blocky version

[celest dome]

Do their lore/rule mention that they have Carbines instead of Lasgun ?

[rare knoll]

I mean, Its obvious isn't it? I don't think the new shock troopers have their own lore on their lasguns

[green loom]

It's just a rifle stock lasgun, not a carbine or anything practical

[storm jungle]

^

Theres only like 3-4 guns in the tabletop/lore outright called carbines too

[summer rover]

lasguns being carbines doesn't make sense anyways, because why would you need to tell if the barrel has threading if it's hooting light....

stupid brits, at least learn about guns if you're gonna use the lingo...

[spare quartz]

Words can be adapted to mean different things, especially if they refer to similar things on a high level

[storm jungle]

Or as Orin said its just writers learning terminology from wikipedia

[rare knoll]

They are laser guns, I think they have different classifications for what a carbine is 38 thousand years in the future

[green loom]

Spoiler: they don't

[celest dome]

I think it's just shorter for civilian use or something ? And less powerful

[crimson kayak]

Lascarbines usually have much more exposed barrel

[orchid thicket]

Well the long-las for sure isn't a carbine

[arctic talon]

Also the current guard minis

Still have the old karental lasgun

[crimson kayak]

Yep, they use both

[crimson kayak]

And you can see that on all different patterns with images about them

[arctic talon]

Wait

Lmfao

The GW storefront only shows the shock trooper build

For guardsmen

[crimson kayak]

??

[arctic talon]

And not the infantry squad

Cadian shock troopers don’t get heavy weapons they get 2 special weapons

[crimson kayak]

Wait... Weren't the old infantry squad still cadian shock troopers?

[arctic talon]

Yes

But they were called infantry squad

[storm jungle]

They got some different guns in-between tho its mostly just las i think

Like a stub tommy gun

also a beltfed one

[arctic talon]

Not cadian shock troopers

[orchid lark]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/398170876022882306/1100767111590183005/rhino01.gif

[arctic talon]

Poses as well

The shock trooper poses have them running

That’s actually weird as shit

Ngl

That it doesn’t show the basic infantry squad

[coarse pumice]

Lasguns?

#zealot-class message

[rare knoll]

Yeah, Infantry squads CAN just be Cadian Soldiers. Shock troopers are special since they are really on the move and arn't used to hold points

[arctic talon]

Yeah but there’s 2 dif builds for the current guardsmen kit

And it’s weird they don’t show both

Imo

every other dual build box shows both

[coarse pumice]

I wonder if it’s based on the Eldar one

[rare knoll]

I mean you could buy the Death Korp kill team for the same price, and catachans if you hate yourself

[arctic talon]

💀

It’s just weird

Bcs GW has fully assembled infantry squad minis of the new Cadians

Bcs they’re shown off in the fucking codex

[crimson kayak]

I mean, they are also moving toward twist-in models seeing the ones on the leviathan box so I mean, at that point just wait and update the models again lol

[crisp heath]

Do shock troopers have different rules than regular guard squads

I thought cadians just called their infantry shock troops

[crimson kayak]

Sad they didn't do like Warmachine 4.0 and directly go magnetized, but considering how Warmachine got crazy expensive im not that unhappy lol

[crimson kayak]

Apparently yeah lol

[rare knoll]

Shock troopers have 2 special weapons, and exploding 6's

But now they have sticky objectives

as their special rule

[crisp heath]

interestin

[rare knoll]

I'm just happy we can bring them in units of 20 now. I've waited so long

[arctic talon]

Those are only for launch boxes

[crimson kayak]

Oh really

[arctic talon]

GW makes non monopose versions later

Yeah

Launch boxes are almost always mono pose

For warhammer

Or they are limited posing

[shadow plover]

this is correct

[crimson kayak]

Well that just got me way less excited

[arctic talon]

The only kit that’s always pushfit is the blight hauler iirc

Mostly because it’s actual mold

Broke

[shadow plover]

some units do stay in their launch kits like most the necrons did this edition afaik

[arctic talon]

But they still have the easy to build one

[arctic talon]

It’s the doomstalker

The warriors aren’t monobuild

[shadow plover]

not monobuild but pretty much snap fit with two weapon options

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

That’s old warriors as well

[shadow plover]

the destroyers also stayed monopose right? They don't require much extra work to do some modifications I recon though

[rare knoll]

Optimus prime would beat the shit out of an imperial knight fs

[arctic talon]

Not sure

Yeah they did

[shadow plover]

yeah the kit is pretty stellar otherwise do I don't really mind at least

[hallow saddle]

With the heavy destroyers yeah they're monopose but I just built 3 last month and you can switch up the poses a bit by cutting and pinning the waist and doing a little cutting and pinning with the arms. And the head

[crimson kayak]

Smaller than a knight and without energy shielding for more mobility... Basically a big Tau battlesuit vs a knight

[rare knoll]

Nah, optimus prime is cool as fuck

[shadow plover]

Ah yeah I meant the lokhust destroyers, but good to hear they can be modified with little effort as well

Incredibly underselling Optimus there

hes basically got the mobility of an eldar knight and the firepower of an Imperial knight combined

[echo vault]

Good, the gsc deserve good things

[orchid lark]

also fast for his size, has better range of movement too

(Armada Optimus is best Optimus)

[shadow plover]

the image of optimus is utterly ruined by the snyder movies sadly

[orchid lark]

Snyder Optimus

This guy is from another universe

Dilara kick him out

[shadow plover]

ohshit oh fuck meant bay

[orchid lark]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-look-frog-what-did-you-say-gif-8287956

[shadow plover]

they're basically the same dude

both make awful movies from good ideas

[orchid lark]

nah

they make cool as fuck movies

[celest dome]

I'm too young, I only know the Bay Transformer

[orchid lark]

I watch the bayverse transformers cause I want to watch machines punching shit

[shadow plover]

sure but the optimus in it is just horrible

[orchid lark]

nah he's cool

not Armada Cool

but cool

[shadow plover]

dude fucking brutally murders a defeated enemy

oh and killed humans too

first movie optimus was cool

[orchid lark]

i mean this link

An Optimus that goes to the deep end to uphold the values he holds dear

is a cool optimus

[shadow plover]

the bay optimus pretty much abandons those values though

[storm jungle]

To be fair

its at least funny

"NO OPTIMUS NOOO"

"Die."

[crimson kayak]

I mean, depends which version

[storm jungle]

[crimson kayak]

Hey, not my problem if there's 1 gazillion timelines per franchise lol

After all let's remember movie transformers had to hide From humans for a while

[crisp heath]

best optimus, imperium war crimes optimus

[orchid lark]

the coolest of coolest optimus was GI Joe Optimus

[storm jungle]

Him shooting sentinel prime in the face as he begs for mercy will never stop being fucking funny to me

its so good

[crimson kayak]

Optimus post death and rebirth is obviously the best version

[crisp heath]

[storm jungle]

THAT CLIP

GOD

[orchid lark]

WE posted the same video

[storm jungle]

"NOO OPTIMUS AUGH-"

[orchid lark]

i think last year

[crisp heath]

he didn't have too, he chose too

[orchid lark]

or the year before

i watched that video

like daily

[crimson kayak]

only thing I don't like is that Optimus doesn't say Optimus Yes when he shoots him

[crimson kayak]

No I meant transformers in general

[orchid lark]

Optimus Prime Gaming

yeah...Cobra Optimus

[crisp heath]

that seems out of character

[green loom]

Do watch the Pointless Hub videos on the Bay movies, they are entertaining

[crisp heath]

its funny cody's second channel is better than his main

[crimson kayak]

Anyhow yeah, I think a movie Optimus could definetly fight off a Questoris or below, but anything over it reaches the "House with chainsaws and guns of the dark age of tech" size and firepower so I guess he would start struggling a lot more with larger classes

[green loom]

I feel like he'd agree lol

[crisp heath]

he was very critical of his earlier videos

[green loom]

He's quite the funny individual

A joker you could say

[celest dome]

Eldar hellgun ?

[coarse pumice]

the Ryza looks like it's based on this

but the Eldar one has the battery pack and the cable to the suit which has it's own power generator

the battery mag placement puts the forward grip area further forward

no stock or sights, but I assume with the cable there's a helmet hud which shows where the gun is pointing

[crimson kayak]

Isn't that a fire Lance?

[coarse pumice]

and as a laser weapon, no recoil so it would be just hipfired

it's just a lasgun

[crimson kayak]

Uh

[celest dome]

Not sure if I would say that the Ryza Lasgun

is inspired by it

Instead of just Ray Punk aesthetic

[crimson kayak]

I mean, the Ryza is literally the part of the gun after the magazine with an handle and a trigger

[coarse pumice]

the silhouette is like the front part of the Eldar lasgun

but the Eldar one looks less alien ()

[crimson kayak]

Found the new version of the Eldar one

[summer rover]

the ryza just uses the same powerpack as the laspistol. it's in the handle. other than that it's pretty straightforward.

[crimson kayak]

Las-pistols don't have the power pack in the handle?

I mean, except the necromunda one, but that's basically a small ryza

[summer rover]

that's the old laspistol style, yes.

[celest dome]

Only the Heavy Las Pistol use the normal Mag types

I though the power pack was at the back (Silver part)

[summer rover]

whole design is a mess

[crimson kayak]

Yeah I think looking at the pistol that the weird coil part is the mag

In the ryza-styled

As someone also said before I think

[summer rover]

they keep making the grips too thin, i wonder why.

[celest dome]

Me #40k-lore-chat message ?

[crimson kayak]

In that one it's on the side, sten style

Or Atleast the central grey area looks similar

[summer rover]

that's the best laspstol design i've seen yet.

it's even got sights!

why can't we have that one in game.

[crimson kayak]

It's from the old Inquisitor specialist game

[celest dome]

Because its much weaker than the one we have

[crimson kayak]

I mean, in the same game that made one of the best lasguns into a peashooter

[celest dome]

Wait what ?

[crimson kayak]

Recons are much better in lore

They just have shorter range than other lasguns

[crisp heath]

lemme dual wield stub pistols pls

[crimson kayak]

But you know, being a drop troop you don't really care as you are basically a 40k odst

[celest dome]

Lasgun have different power setting, I assume the Reccon are on low power

[crimson kayak]

Now if only we had a reason to keep them on low power when we also use the heavy maintenance hungry lucius

[celest dome]

We don't have Stub Pistols

[celest dome]

Gameplay reason?

[crisp heath]

I don't know how canon the ffg games still are but in only war the bullpup is the same as the m36 lasgun but with a little less range and weighing slightly less

[crimson kayak]

True, but with the same explanation I go back to point 1 where for the same gameplay reason a normal laspistol shouldn't necessarily be that much weaker than the heavy we have

[crisp heath]

I know, but seeing as we have a stub revolver and a laspistol and an autopistol I want them to add a stub pistol, but I don't know how they would make it good enough on it's own so let me dual wield it

[celest dome]

True

[crimson kayak]

It's basically the only info we have on specific patterns of weapons so it's that or nothing 90% of the time

Hell, half the patterns are specially made for the ffg games

[arctic talon]

Or they show up in art

And are unnamed

Forever

[echo vault]

Malekith may say ulthuan is his birth right but that doesn't remove all the arrows in him from my lothern sea guard turning him and his dragon into a pin cushion, which was hilarious seeing a mythical figure of the warhammer fantasy series fall like 10 stories off of his dragon to his likely doom

[coarse pumice]

I kind of feel all the later stuff was kind of weak, like silly superhero stuff

[celest dome]

The End Time lire that is the worst is anything portraying the Skaven

[green loom]

You mean using the "skaven shenanigans" plot device that makes you wonder what the point of the other chaos factions was?

[celest dome]

Mostly the fact that for most of the Skaven lore pre ET it was told to be basically the biggest force around but more preoccupied on backstabbing each other. And in the ET they work all together

[echo vault]

because its rat time

fuck your cathay, fuck your pretty much every faction, the great horned rat knows just how to annoy you because he's the one who wrote the end times skaven lore, yes the great horned rat himself

it is he the great horned rat who unlocked thorgrim grudgebearers chamber doors, it is he who allied with chaos because it would be funny, he was the one who told ikit claw to blow up the moon

[celest dome]

At that time nobody cared about Cathay

[echo vault]

rathay

the only reason cathay wasn't mentioned in the end times outside of being destroyed by the skaven was because afterwards the skaven did some very racist things pertaining to cathayan ethnicity

[celest dome]

[echo vault]

skaven are racist

rat, ratcist

[green loom]

It was destroyed by Tzeentchian rebels/incursions and Grimgor I thought

[summer rover]

neither were confirmed. grimgor headed that way and died to the ogres, and cathay was attacked but tzeentch cults but nothing implied they were overrun aside from the whole "end times was about fluffing the chaos forces everywehre" thing

[arctic talon]

Cathay also had almost 0 lore when endtimes was written

Almost all of the Cathay stuff that’s recognizable today is from total war warhammer 3

[echo vault]

[burnt maple]

OH, SWEET EMPEROR, DIDN'T KNOW THIS CHAT EXISTS XD

Or at least forgot it exists.

[storm jungle]

Probably the only safe channel in the group

[green loom]

The best chat

[celest dome]

Theorycrafting is alright

[burnt maple]

The best indeed.

Inhales

Tyranids are the worst faction in 40k. No value whatsoever except cool models.

Right next to Alpha Legion whose whole shtick is knowing nothing about them.

[orchid lark]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/398170876022882306/1100767111590183005/rhino01.gif

[green loom]

We know about them
It's just very boring

And stupid

[storm jungle]

The best take.

[orchid lark]

Alpha Legion had never gone past meme status for 40k

they have individually cool characters and units in 30k, but are just like

whatever for 40k

they wiped out a chapter of space marines over the course of centuries? cool, some shmuck warband did it in a decade

[coarse pumice]

I think Chaos in general had become a giant meme by the time the 2nd edition codex came out

[orchid lark]

they got some good stand alone

Chaos sucks if its the antagonist for any story

because they're just evil cartoon dudes

[green loom]

Fighting evil cartoon dudes

[orchid lark]

Chaos as the main characters got some good'uns

[storm jungle]

Chaos works because you dont have people huffing copium that they are the "good guys"

They are the decepticons of the setting and it works pretty well

https://tenor.com/view/megatron-transformers-decepticons-robot-starscream-gif-5931873

[coarse pumice]

Early on chaos was like a hidden corruptions, and chaos marines were more like the renegade chapters

[orchid lark]

they just need a good comic soundwave for the real evil

[coarse pumice]

Then the 2nd ed book came and they became like a comic book

[green loom]

I wish
I fucking wish

[storm jungle]

I mean for the better imo

[orchid lark]

you forget the 10 alpha legion fans

[storm jungle]

They dont count

because Alpha Legion SUCKS

[green loom]

You must have seen the guys defending chaos/traitors as good

I've met so many

[coarse pumice]

The Huron campaign was like a retreading of that idea

[orchid lark]

b-b-but we have plans and agents everywhere, we're the best best

[shadow plover]

I like the Alpha legionaries Abnett brings up most of the time

but the whole legion is whatever

[green loom]

The Redacted?

[storm jungle]

Abnett is pretty bad

[green loom]

Wait no

[queen laurel]

I swear to god the alpha legion is more convoluted than tzeench

[storm jungle]

they arent tho

thats the thing

they are all traitors

[green loom]

Yeah not really

[storm jungle]

the fandom just literally huffs copium that theres loyalists elements

the problem is they are never mentioned

because tabletop wise they are all chaos alligned

[green loom]

They are all brainwashed with code phrases, this can never backfire at all

[orchid lark]

Alpha legionn dont even know the fuck theyre doing because theyre too decentralized

i wont be surprised if they self sabotage one another without realising

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's like the fan canon The purple color makes orks invisible even though it really just doesn't

[green loom]

The example people use for loyalist AL aren't AL and they aren't loyalists

[orchid lark]

Sneaky and stealth dont equate to invisibility

[coarse pumice]

The Dark Angels traitor thing too?

[storm jungle]

I love how people always make those memes when literally 99% of Alpha Legion lore has been them helping chaos lmao

[coarse pumice]

I don’t mean just the fallen

[orchid lark]

Nah no more traitors since dads back

[storm jungle]

The DA traitor thing has mostly gone from an early 2000's era meme to mostly a jab at Dark Angels fan nowadays

[queen laurel]

Yes, what i mean is that people think that the power of purple gives orks the ability to be sneaky even though that it's not one of the colors that gives orks power

[storm jungle]

with the Lion back tho as Adam says that meme is entirely null

[green loom]

I said it a while ago

I'll say it again

The Ork colours may not even do anything

[shadow plover]

well there still are those Fallen whom don't join up with Lion

[queen laurel]

If i remember

blue is lucky
Black is toughness
Yellow is explosions and fire power
And green is best

[shadow plover]

red ones go faster

[green loom]

Lions back to forgive them so it's null

[shadow plover]

unless they go against him and worship chaos

[orchid lark]

Yeah lets do that with a guy who fought chaos spawns his entire early life

[green loom]

If I recall he does almost get got by some sorcerer

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

I mean going to be honest, going against a primarch can end very very badly, have you seen what happened to the high lords of terra after they tried to defy guilliman?

I'm pretty sure they probably no longer exist

[green loom]

Yeah, the other high lords killed them because the Assassin GM was on Mr blueberry's side

[storm jungle]

He had a braincell apparently

[green loom]

And the Administratum boss turned tail and joined back with the loyalists, fucking up the entire coup

Because the minotaurs answered to him, and the minotaurs were everywhere

[storm jungle]

They were willing to go toe-to-toe with Custodes too

[orchid lark]

Asterion Moloc had some balls

[queen laurel]

Ah The minotaurs I thought they were something until i realized that they are just very very very bad

Typically to the civilian population

[shadow plover]

man I'm glad I finished those books last week so y'all didn't spoil all that for me

[orchid lark]

I didn’t read the books

So you spoiled me

[shadow plover]

[queen laurel]

Sorry buddy i know what it's like

[storm jungle]

I mean

[orchid lark]

Nah

[storm jungle]

this is all really widespread news at this point

[queen laurel]

Expecting something good only to be spoiled by the internet

[orchid lark]

I treat 40k lore like current events

I just need to know

[queen laurel]

I honestly don't really care about the novels i just want to know what happens

[storm jungle]

also Regent's Shadow came out in 2020

[orchid lark]

Like any spoilers arent spoiled

[queen laurel]

I'm just looking for new additions really

New monsters

[shadow plover]

I've been on a HH binge since 2018

[orchid lark]

The warhammer community site spoils shit constantly

[queen laurel]

New factions you know stuff like that

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah i entirely forgot about this

[orchid lark]

[queen laurel]

I don't really care about the stories i care about you know the structures of the universe

[orchid lark]

Like its current events

[green loom]

I've never read the book

[shadow plover]

I just don't read the articles that go on about lore from books that I've not read

[orchid lark]

Its not spoilers if its something you just need to know

[shadow plover]

/listened

[green loom]

I just absorb information via osmosis

[queen laurel]

Oh yes speaking of how do you guys think each faction will react to a talking tyranid

[orchid lark]

Disgusted

[storm jungle]

"holy shit KILL IT"

[queen laurel]

I will exclude the orks because they will just probably laugh at it and just kill it

[green loom]

I can memorize half of lexicanum with decent accuracy, but I can't remember two lines from my workbook

[storm jungle]

Also this

its like people remember shit that is fun or something

12 years of school wasted

[orchid lark]

Nah Dilara youre just a bad student

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[shadow plover]

I don't like reading lexi on subjects new to me because it lacks all the weight in the novels

[queen laurel]

Bro my brain has anatomical failure every time i try math but probably can remember every ork weaponry imaginable

[storm jungle]

Lmao literally me

[orchid lark]

All ork weaponry are made up

Thats not fair

[storm jungle]

so is education to be fair

[orchid lark]

Modern education is made up

Yes

Fuck you Industrialism

[queen laurel]

I love the fact that homework used to be a punishment but became commonplace

[orchid lark]

University style of educating is the oldest we got

[green loom]

I don't like linguistics

[orchid lark]

Where practicals are the main focus of teaching

[green loom]

Especially not phonetics

[orchid lark]

The french fucking had it right with their university education

Mandatory Philosophy integration

Also dont the germans have that government thing where at the end of highschool they kinda tell you where you should go

“Like we see you want to do art history, but the engineering field for repairing Machinery is probably a better sector for you, the art can come later”

That said I cant complain for my high school education, I did the fancy shmancy shit

International Baccalaureate

Fucking hate the kids now who dont have to do mandatory 50 hours of community service to pass

[green loom]

Education sucks, I just want to weld or plow a field or something

And then die young from alcohol poisoning

[queen laurel]

Well that took a turn

[orchid lark]

That sounds realistic

I wish I learned how to be a mechanic

[green loom]

It's what all the sensible people did

[orchid lark]

Society always needs a mechanic

[green loom]

Meanwhile I got shuffled to English because "Nooo ur good at it!"

[queen laurel]

Just don't be disgusted by flesh, it's not weak

[orchid lark]

I just want to huff gasoline

[shadow plover]

free education got me a well paying engineer desk job so I'm happy

[green loom]

Chug some cheap vodka and pass out under a car

[orchid lark]

Drinking bad

[queen laurel]

This is now my headcanon for how the mechanicus gets high

[orchid lark]

Also never really got pressured to drink

So never ever felt the want for the alcohols

[queen laurel]

Gotta huff that promethium oil shadow pack

[orchid lark]

We should get Amasec equippables in dark tide

Make all our shots unsteady

[versed ledge]

So does anyone have art work Slaaneshi cultist or Khorne Cultists?

[celest dome]

Fantasy/AoS/40k ?

And official or not ?

[green loom]

@ everyone here

[crimson kayak]

i mean, usually with cults between fantasy/40k you just have to modernize the clothes and they are pretty much identical

[green loom]

I can't believe chainsawman is a 40k character

[crimson kayak]

funny how with the amount of muscle-men, chain weapons and the more red like purple you could easily mistake them for khornates

[storm jungle]

Yup

Slaanesh though is more about body mutilation and hedonism but Khorne is close

[coarse pumice]

are you sure these aren't just khornates?

[crimson kayak]

tbf the guy in the down right angle and the the one poseidal mentioned don't help

[coarse pumice]

the khorne bunny ears

[crimson kayak]

yep, that one

[coarse pumice]

oh, it was just a list with khornates; carry on

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

The Inkhornates

[versed ledge]

Aight thanks

[versed ledge]

So that what Khorne Cultists look like?

Always imagined them to be a bit more....cult-y?

[celest dome]

Plenty of cults around, plenty of different cult aesthetic

[green loom]

Khorne cults are skulls, blood and meat all over the body

The more savage, the more khornate

[orchid lark]

From how you’re questioning and wording stuff, are you building a reference pool for something

[arctic talon]

Best 40k example is

Trying to look for something to complete a series of chat bots in character.ai. I have all but khorne

[storm jungle]

Unfortunately yeah

Angron literally is just a plot device at this point, but id argue hes like the only daemon primarch worthy of a fate

He was a slave then, hes a slave now, hes basically gone

[arctic talon]

The only thing that angron really recognizes now are whatever the fuck is piloting the conqueror and kharn

[crisp heath]

(Not mine just stole it from the internet somewhere)

[orchid lark]

Always some AI shit

[celest cedar]

Guys. Does Holy Terra still uses our own curse words like Fuck. Shit. Blyat. Merde?

[celest dome]

Most likely not

As the ancient languages are mostly lost to the time

[green loom]

Feth, Frak, Kark

Though I think feth is a tanith thing

[celest cedar]

So everyone just uses Kark and stuff

[green loom]

Kark you can hear in game, a lot

[celest cedar]

Because its the Empire's main language?

[green loom]

There is no main language, we just understand everyone in English for convenience

[celest cedar]

True.

So is the language we're speaking Low Gothic? Its only English for player convenience?

[celest dome]

Yesn't

Low Gothic is the main language of the Imperium

But there are more local language still

[green loom]

They aren't speaking low gothic, they're speaking English

Low gothic varies locally as I understand

[storm jungle]

Fuck and Shit are still used, foreign swear words though no

you can hear them in more gritty 40k stuff like the Crime books

they just arent as said in main books due to UK book censorship law stuff

[green loom]

And as you know if Geedubs can make money by cheaply censoring stuff, they'll do it

[ivory canyon]

UK has book censorship stuff?

[storm jungle]

All book publishings do

Its a very stupid and very complicated process, especially when you are a "brand" selling and churning out books monthly like GW

[green loom]

Gotta make sure you're not corrupting the youth and retaining authorial decency and shiiii

[storm jungle]

kek

Also its the ultimate hypocrisy of the thing you see in movies

"Shooting people and gore is fine"

"But no swear words or sexual content"

[green loom]

Blood is bad but legally distinct blue goop coming out of a dessicated robot is perfectly fine

Or they just straight up don't bother with blood like in Dune

[storm jungle]

Lmao yeah this

[green loom]

It's more prominent in trailers

For games

Where you'll see literal apocalyptic bullshit
But not a single drop of blood

[storm jungle]

god im reminded of Spiderman the Animated series

where he wasn't allowed to punch anybody

Violence is okay because it cant be “replicated”

No

That is Tryndamere

As in one of the two founders

[green loom]

Of what

[orchid lark]

The OG Dota mod

And league of legends itself

[green loom]

There was a dota mod

[orchid lark]

Tryndamere and Ryze

Yeah

DotA

As in

DotA 1

[green loom]

Defence of the Ancients

I preferred that one warcraft 3 mod

[crimson kayak]

...

That's dota

Dota1 is the war craft mod

[orchid lark]

Then Steam bought the rights to DotA which made tryndamere and ryze to make league

Valve/Steam same same

[green loom]

I'm surprised there's not more Eldar references

Seeing as we have two literal space Marines

[orchid lark]

He kinda got into 40k and AoS like

4 years ago

I think he likes AoS more

[green loom]

No surprise there

Correct opinion

[orchid lark]

Gotta use those millions for something

[crimson kayak]

Wait.. How many years ago was the AoS accouncement?

[green loom]

Waiting for Warhammer/League Collab tbh

What AoS announcement

[vale shuttle]

personally id use my money to go to ||REDACTED||'s child hunting island where you can hunt real children for sport

[crimson kayak]

Like, the first release

[orchid lark]

Wait

[vale shuttle]

wasn't AoS released like eight years ago?

[orchid lark]

When did AoS start anyway

Really?

[green loom]

2015

[orchid lark]

No way its that old

It is that old

I'm pretty sure they're older than me by at least 5 years

The red coloured skin for garen is just a blood angel
