[storm jungle]

not just rome lol

[orchid lark]

oh great a fucking Tory

[silver pollen]

Not in that sense, you, limey!

[orchid lark]

oh great a red state prick

[silver pollen]

Which is ironic, considering Emperor wasn't planning THAT.

[silver pollen]

?

If this is some local USA joke, it went above me.

[storm jungle]

It doesn't matter what he was planning

he was a genocidal prick

even during the Great Crusade

[orchid lark]

no fascist plans a fascist state

thats too self aware

[silver pollen]

Oh, come on. He was on a tight schedule.

[storm jungle]

Thats what we call a skill issue

[orchid lark]

[storm jungle]

Anyway im guessing this imperial apologism is being ironic

its a bit hard to tell

[silver pollen]

I will root each one of you to the Inquisitor. Later.

[orchid lark]

nah

[storm jungle]

aw man

[orchid lark]

unironically using ORLY in this day and age

nah

[crimson kayak]

Anyhow, gotta go eat so @silver pollen my point was simply that while yes the imperium is represented by a falling empire, remember this is a war where literally every empire if an ancient one falling.

Squats? Remains of old empire
Eldar? Same
Orks? De-evolved pops of ancient empire
Necron? Resurrected Ancient Empire
Nids? The animal kingdom idk they are the infestation faction.
Chaos? Literally just a bunch of falling warbands.

Tau simply are meant to represent a possible "new" future empire within the setting, opening it up more than simply "Yes this civ was great and powerful and now it isn't"

[silver pollen]

I don't say that Imperium is good.

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-i-am-the-senate-gif-10270130

[orchid lark]

I dont feel like this is ironic

[silver pollen]

And this is not the regime I'd like to live in.

[coarse pumice]

in 40k, the name 'Feel no pain' - they carry on fighting despite taking normal wounds that would kill others - somehow can survive being instagibbed or pulled apart by a warp rift.
And then an invulnerable save - in description they say it represents forcefields or just dodging out the way - but there can be shells you can't dodge and your forcefield doesn't turn aside - even though the guy over there who feels no pain somehow continues to fight when vaporised

[silver pollen]

Bon appetite.

[storm jungle]

Thats what we call bad writing

[orchid lark]

nah but what if

he's just that good

that be faith

[storm jungle]

very possible

he has Patrick Bateman powers 🙏

[coarse pumice]

it would affect which units have what, but the description really sounds like they should swap the two rules' names

[silver pollen]

Still, Emperor literally shields the Terra from becoming second Eye of Terror with his very soul for 10K years. When he is Perpetual and could leave and return back well and healthy at ANY moment.

[storm jungle]

Yet humanity suffers the most under his rule and still does

hes not saving anything

[orchid lark]

we literally dont know if he even could leave and survive

[celest cedar]

I so hope that in the future. There'll be a T'au centric game and the Imperium will be the clear bad guys

[orchid lark]

Fire Warrior

[coarse pumice]

like FEEL NO PAIN - they are so tough that they can shrug off blows that would penetrate their armour and fight on despite the wounds

[silver pollen]

What alternative has the humanity? Bow to Dark gods?

[orchid lark]

Stone Cold Atheism

[celest cedar]

40K?

[storm jungle]

Literally anything else.

why do you think humanity majorily worships chaos

the Imperium sucks

[orchid lark]

??? Fire Warrior is a 40k game

[coarse pumice]

and INVULNERABLE SAVE - maybe my armour won't protect me, but there's a chance my other protective field does (or I just dodge and was never hit in the first place)

[celest cedar]

Just found out

[orchid lark]

Like the Sisters thing

[coarse pumice]

the naming is just so reverse that it's funny

[orchid lark]

you could Dawn of War Dark Crusade and play the tau campaign

[silver pollen]

Name that "literally anything" alternative existing in the lore?

[storm jungle]

Every human civilization that the Imperium destroyed

[orchid lark]

Stone Cold Atheism

[storm jungle]

Or that too

[silver pollen]

They don't exist now. 40K, remember?

[orchid lark]

belief in the human psychic gestalt

thats not tied to the emperor

like whatever the fuck Erda was channelling

[storm jungle]

Yeah i wonder why they dont

[orchid lark]

what is this motherfucker even trying to discuss

[storm jungle]

All calm vibes now

no need to get upset unless we get really bad points

which these kind of are but not too bad

[silver pollen]

Didn't work. People are idiots who want someone to pray at and blame for their own faults. Remember, Emperor literally executed people for claiming that he is a God - and did that help?

[celest cedar]

"So Emperor is god. Strange no?" Ogryn Reject in Tertium

[storm jungle]

Thats literally what they are doing now too tho

[orchid lark]

you know 30k Imperial Truth?

[coarse pumice]

the mono-imperium thing (waaagh the emperor) was not intended originally, it just ended up evolving that way

I don't mean in the background, I mean planned by GW staff

[silver pollen]

Hardcore atheism and yadda-yadda.

[celest cedar]

"Who made him bleeding god then?" Another Ogryn Reject in Tertium.

[orchid lark]

Imma just curate my online experience

and block the dude

[coarse pumice]

originally there were going to be fiefs that were only somewhat connected to the imperium or disconnected, and there would be lords within the imperium who all ran things in different ways (including some less 'dogmatic')

[orchid lark]

peace and quiet on planet lore chat

[coarse pumice]

maybe actually more like the Fantasy Battle Empire

[crimson kayak]

I'm back and Tbf, until Erebus did a Erebus yes, it did help grealy

[storm jungle]

Doesn't count

Sigmar is actually based

[orchid lark]

Loses girlfriend

decides to become king

Based Sigmar

[storm jungle]

thats our BOİ

[crimson kayak]

Also we don't know if he's gonna survive, how or why, ench why it's just a big problem detaching him from the throne lol

[silver pollen]

Maybe it was a bad idea to keep one of his sons educated by literal chaos cultist...

[crimson kayak]

Yes the emperor was an idiot

[orchid lark]

When I cant make the mods ban people, the block button is my best friend

[crimson kayak]

He was just a very very powerful one

[celest cedar]

ITS THE BURNED MAN

[orchid lark]

its our friendly neighbourhood mormon

the Burned Man

[green loom]

Joshua seems like a perfect archetype for a loyalist word bearer

[orchid lark]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMGOuTo0NRY&pp=ygUPZ3JpbGxlZCBtb3Jtb25z

[celest cedar]

"I survive because the fire inside burns brighter..."

In later dialogue the fire is Love. Gotta love Graham.

[silver pollen]

He would not. And Terra with all Sol system would be destroyed. That's kinda certain, I think.

BUT Big E is Perpetual so he would return.

[crimson kayak]

Earth and sol is certain, possible resurrection and shit are not known

[crimson kayak]

Yes but he was wounded by the special stuff

[silver pollen]

Problem is, Imperium doesn't have the time to wait for that.

[crimson kayak]

Like, remember Ollanious will have to get yeet'ed out of existence by horus

[green loom]

"Shut up bro, we just need to kill Emps and let him resurrect, it'll only cost us the majority of humanity"

[crimson kayak]

So that means horus was able to permaban perpetuals

[green loom]

You can kill perpetuals

[crimson kayak]

Yes but not everyone has the special shit to do so

[green loom]

Their physical body will always return

[crimson kayak]

Oh wait

[silver pollen]

But Big E is not killed, yet, so I dare suggest, that doesn't count.

[green loom]

Psychic bullshittery also murders them

[crimson kayak]

You meant just kill

Not kill kill

[green loom]

Though it's pointless to argue because the perpetual plotline is stupid and boring

[crimson kayak]

Eh, food for theories

[silver pollen]

Yup. We still don't know if it was really Horus to wound him.

Or we do?

Kinda missed the current state of 30K cycle.

[green loom]

Next book

Provided it isn't a fake out

[silver pollen]

Like, I met the theory that maybe it was Sanguinius who killed Horus while in Black rage and then attacked Emperor who tried to hold but had to strike his son down.

Sounds grimdark enough.

Though, until we are shown the whole duel, that's more of a speculation.

[coarse pumice]

to be fair, the emperor was ruined when they made the HH series

[green loom]

Considering Horus' power by now

And him being basically a flesh puppet for the big 4

[storm jungle]

Dude

[green loom]

He'll probably just blow up

[storm jungle]

Horus's chapters in the last book are so funny

its basically a POV chapter of someone talking to you the reader through his eyes

it reads like a fucking dating sim

[crimson kayak]

Is that when he Amleto's ferro's skull?

[storm jungle]

No like LITERALLY talking to you

let me get it 1 sec

[crimson kayak]

Wait what

Btw yeah, technically it's horus wounding the emperor and then the emperor deleting horus after he deletes the ollanious/myaterious character that's there in the current version

[silver pollen]

By the way, speaking of the Emps during DaoT and the Long night - who thinks what about if he tried to save human civilization or let it roll?

[silver pollen]

OK, nothing new here, then.

In the end, it doesn't matter.

[crimson kayak]

Yeah we waiting for the last book for the new version of the duel

[storm jungle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/368066737167400960/1076664142926184478/SPOILER_image.png

also

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/368066737167400960/1076665993184694413/SPOILER_image.png

Horus legit went:

https://tenor.com/view/eggman_slap-gif-24023679

[coarse pumice]

wait, is this Second Person narrative or something

[storm jungle]

This only happens in Horus' chapters

[crimson kayak]

Wait that's more like an Horus POV than horus speaking to the reader

[coarse pumice]

[storm jungle]

I think Abnett tried to basically make it so that you are Horus and this is the Gods talking to you

but like

its genuinely so goofy

i could not take it seriously

[green loom]

They dun goofed

[crimson kayak]

Oooh, then yeah he went for the first person mod

[silver pollen]

And if to consider that Horus as the soul and person acts as the mere passenger in his own body at this point, that style kinda makes sense. Kinda.

[storm jungle]

it does but again its just lmao

legit feels like a dating sim

[crimson kayak]

For a second I thought horus would turn to the camera and tell the readers "the true warhammer40k is the heresy we made along the way"

[storm jungle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/368066737167400960/1076666628726607972/SPOILER_image.png

[coarse pumice]

people talk shit about the original emperor vs horus story, but compare that with this lol

[silver pollen]

Didn't play a lot to have THOSE associations.

[storm jungle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1022085083844325376.webp?size=96&quality=lossless

[orchid lark]

Abnett probably thinking we could bleed into Horus

[crimson kayak]

Well, now I gotta use Tactical Masterstroke out of context sometimes

[orchid lark]

issue is

why the fuck should we relate to him

[storm jungle]

yeah this is just stupid

[celest cedar]

To understand his Horus Heresy

[storm jungle]

NOOOO

[orchid lark]

literally just write it like a normal person Abnett

ffs

the template exists

its in Dune

[crimson kayak]

Probably the fact that by this point this is not really horus after all the chaos gifta

[orchid lark]

in Lord of the Rings

[crimson kayak]

imagine if part 2 its all from Horus PoV

[silver pollen]

Write it better. Apply into the BL. Become official writer. Enjoy yourself.

[orchid lark]

I mean

[silver pollen]

Oh no...

[orchid lark]

Dune is just a really bad trip and choices by Paul

especially when Irulan tries talking about it

[crimson kayak]

Oh wait, now that I think of it, did Ollanious even manage to get on the fucking Vengeful Spirit yet?

[celest cedar]

Dune: space arabs fights an empire.
Literally early 20th century Arabian Peninsula history

[silver pollen]

Think so as well. We also know that Dark Gods have a certain pattern of bending primarchs to their will (looks at Fulgrim).

[crimson kayak]

Or is he still stuck on Terra with the others of his merryband?

[orchid lark]

thats surface level simplification

Dune: Save the Environment

[crimson kayak]

Yeah, and horus was the prime example of giving into the gods and letting them control you

[crimson kayak]

Last time I read up the new ollanious stuff, they somehow got yeet'ed in the men of iron rebellion or something similar .

[storm jungle]

Honestly i love Abnett but

people legit suck him off way too much

theres way too many parts in his books where shit just doesnt make sense

[orchid lark]

you hang out with the wrong people

[storm jungle]

and people just go "LET HIM COOK"

[orchid lark]

I like some of his stuff, but Abnett is just very

normal of a writer

[green loom]

Doesn't he have a habit of adding completely unneeded plot elements

And the Sanguinius hair

[orchid lark]

but you can tell when he's on a deadline or rewritin shit

[crimson kayak]

Emperor's spears book discussing Mentor legion and assassin's instead of the Spears war against the Pure

[orchid lark]

I wanna say he has homeruns with injecting humanity into his stories

but like

1 homerun out of 40 times on the plate

he sucks shit

[storm jungle]

Abnett is literally also good at nothing but writing humans

every time he includes other factions, they suck

[silver pollen]

Hey, have you seen this hair?

[orchid lark]

its like

we get it Abnett

Space MArines are still very human

dont use it as a crutch

get on with the story

okay primarchs having human issues, cool cool, dont get distracted abnett, the plot

please move it

[storm jungle]

My favorite part of 40k lore is

"Marines are very transhuman, they don't have feelings like we do"

Literally every book they act human as hell because otherwise they'd be boring af to write

[orchid lark]

they can HAVE moments of humanity, which is good

but fuck me

some writers

[crimson kayak]

Imo abnett would be at his best on doing works like he did with darktide, he makes up a bunch of cool things, then let's the others play with it and actually form a story... now darktide wasn't the best example but y'all know what i meant

[orchid lark]

just want us to think these guys are so irrational

[storm jungle]

It makes sense because hes a fucking comic book writer

mfer made the Guardians of the Galaxy

you can see that shit bleed A LOT into his 40k work

[orchid lark]

a moment of weakness when a captain feels bad about doing something

nice

two fucking pages about the marines discussing what they did

fuck off

youre 400 years old brother dickus headus

now you want to have some humanity

what the fuuck

[crimson kayak]

now begs me the question of why didn't they just do a comic book series at that point

[storm jungle]

because money

[celest cedar]

Yeah we genocided aliens but we're humans too you know?

[storm jungle]

and the general fanbase is stupid and will buy anything

[orchid lark]

ngl, i like reading books more than comics...

[storm jungle]

Yeah making books is fine

[green loom]

I liked the apocalypse portrayal of marines

[storm jungle]

its more that HH suffered from teh BIGGEST effect of being a cashcow

[orchid lark]

"are we the baddies hans?"

[crimson kayak]

yeah we genocided aliens and a lot of other humans, but we are human too you know

[silver pollen]

I think, self-reflection of a marine was done well in Plague War. That one primaris marine who was forced to kill a civil girl on the Nurgle-infested planet to keep their presence hidden.

[green loom]

There's not enough of marines just not getting it

[orchid lark]

Titus was, for all purpose, well written

ill die on that hill

[silver pollen]

That's fun, I think.

[crimson kayak]

ill go a step further and say that game characters had most of the better marine characterizations

[orchid lark]

I dont know Leandros was a bit hamfisted

I get complaining

but reporting?

thats bad characterization

young guy who questions stuff

[crimson kayak]

i mean, there's entire chapters that follow the codex to the letter

[orchid lark]

Thaddeus did it the best

[crimson kayak]

so Leandros, being an ultramarine too, doesn't really act strange except for you know... being a whiny bitch

[green loom]

And ykno

[silver pollen]

And then Roboute returns and is VERY SURPRISED...

[green loom]

Going against the codex

Since you report heresy to the Reclusium

[orchid lark]

theres that one chapter where each captain like

[green loom]

Not the inquisitor

[orchid lark]

dedicates their lives to one

parts of the codex

[crimson kayak]

ill give that to video game writing tbh

[orchid lark]

and for some reason

i feel like theyre more level headed than leandros

[silver pollen]

And it is just a violation of space marine autonomy. Like, this guy should be made a servitor.

[green loom]

And tbf to Leandros

Titus was being reckless

I mean jumping through an active fleet battle is just

A bad idea

Especially as the captain

[orchid lark]

nah Deep Striking

if it works for Blood Angels

[crimson kayak]

tbf sending literally 3 marines agains't a waaaaagh is a bad idea to begin with

[orchid lark]

nah the whole company was part of the conflict

squads are sent to other places

[green loom]

Yeah you can see a lot of the other marines at the end

[orchid lark]

one squad replaces you in defending the titan

[silver pollen]

Captain succeeded and it is not job of subordinate to judge him.

[storm jungle]

what Leandros failed to do was basically reporting any issue INSIDE the Chapter t oa fucking Chaplain

this is basically like ratting your friend out to the DEA

[orchid lark]

it was the sabbath, cant bother him on that day

[storm jungle]

aw damn

[green loom]

It's reporting your cousin for abuse to the DEA

[crimson kayak]

uh, didn't remember other marines except the blood ravens at the bridge and the templars at the end

[orchid lark]

there were other marines

in the thunderhawk too

in the beginning

[crimson kayak]

...

[orchid lark]

and there were three thunderhawks moving

because thats close to 90 marines

[crimson kayak]

man it's been a long time since i last played

[orchid lark]

this is not Abnetts stupid Iron Snakes chapter

its a planetwide conflict

it would be strategically stupid to like just concentrate 100 marines in one place

when having squads spread out to like

control certain objectives

(like the tabletop)

or reinforce small pockets of the imperial guard

it be Codex Standard

unlike the space wolves in the ragnar books when

they just funneled some companies into one place

rather than spreading out the attack

to slowly encircle towards the area

[silver pollen]

But what force could stop 100 space marines? It is a solid attempt for the decapitating attack in most cases.

[green loom]

Lots of things

[orchid lark]

?

[green loom]

If you just dump a bunch of marines in one place they'll just be wasted

Because you don't need 100

[orchid lark]

oh yeah

[crimson kayak]

a fuckton of stuff lol

[orchid lark]

Tarpitting

[green loom]

Unless shit is actually apocalyptic

[orchid lark]

its a tabletop thing too

its just Tarpitting

[green loom]

And a single squad is way easier to move around and much harder to pin down than an entire company

[orchid lark]

like the codex even states that tactical marines should act as distraction for devastator squads

no ones that stupid to like

just have 100 marines in one place

gotta pull out the weirdest football play plan thing

[crimson kayak]

iron cage central open space momemt

[orchid lark]

celestial lions moment

[crimson kayak]

is that an ork sniper i hear?

[orchid lark]

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

[silver pollen]

Ok, anyway it is hard to conceptualize space marine warfare, as for me. So I don't try to - at least I understand combined arms warfare of Astra Militarum and that's it.

[crimson kayak]

i always imagined them a bit like the mobile troopers from the og starship troopers stuff

or well, the animated films too, except built like tanks and running instead of sci fi hulk jumping or whatever they had for mobility

[orchid lark]

space marines can jump high

but theyre sitting ducks when they do it

also, theres no way they can know if the floor in the next floor could hold that landing

so they probably dont do crazy shit like that

[crimson kayak]

marauder armor can jump buildings

[orchid lark]

oh shit, Starship Troopers had some cool shit

true true

some of it was

not the coolest tho

[crimson kayak]

i think the strategy game captures the film's shit perfectly

[orchid lark]

some of the animated films were

https://tenor.com/view/venom-tom-hardy-screaming-gif-11035878

[green loom]

Some of the animated films looked like Red vs Blue

[crimson kayak]

oh yeah, i should see how big is technically the Starship troopers titan

[silver pollen]

Weren't starship troopers literal inspiration for the space marines? Walking tank type of armour and stuff like that.

[crimson kayak]

both use power armour, can't say how much they inspired each other as they act a lot differently

[silver pollen]

Considering, the starship troopers book was from 50-s, I think, they certainly couldn't be inspired by 40K.

[crimson kayak]

apparently it's more knight sized

also i didn't know they came from one of the film sequels lol

[coarse pumice]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/227720170074931200/1109094620085882881/image0.jpg

[orchid lark]

imagine being such bastards

the red scorpions dont like you

[orchid thicket]

Votann are pretty damn lame for a faction that has working and well-understood DAoT technology

[crimson kayak]

how so?

[storm jungle]

Looks like this guy doesn't rock nor stone

guess he won't be coming home

[orchid thicket]

If they have DAoT stuff why aren't they eating stars with nanobot swarms or weaponizing time?

Hell they even have AI, don't they?

Instead they're just dwarves in space

[crimson kayak]

they do eat planets

[storm jungle]

1. They literally just came out

2. If your faction has that much bullshit tech theres no stakes left

3. Because dwarves are cool

[orchid thicket]

Which means their lore needs to be reworked

[storm jungle]

Not really

they are fine with where the yare

also their tech isnt DAoT

[orchid thicket]

But they look like they eat ass

[storm jungle]

its just near that level and more reliable

[storm jungle]

Sounds like a skill issue on your end manling

[orchid thicket]

Votann aren't real dwarves

[storm jungle]

They are basically dwarves

[orchid thicket]

I know what a real dwarf looks like

[storm jungle]

its their entire archetype

[orchid lark]

Gets reworked once, some dude on discord wants them reworked again

[storm jungle]

^

[orchid lark]

cant make this shit up

[storm jungle]

Im not the biggest dwarf fan but I wont let the dawi get this much slander lying down

[orchid lark]

Ill say it here

AoS and 40k are at least

ADDING new things to Dwarves

[orchid thicket]

They don't give off real dawi vibes to me

[storm jungle]

Kharadron Overlords are GREAT

[orchid lark]

it may not be fucking fantastic

but its better than the same shit

[orchid thicket]

Proper noun - Proper nouns are never great

[orchid lark]

over and over

and over

and over

[storm jungle]

Thats going in the book

[crimson kayak]

btw they only have one specific type of AI wich is Ironkin

[orchid lark]

the last time we had some weird dwarves

was fuckin Eoin Colfers

[orchid thicket]

Tell me more about these ironkin

[orchid lark]

stupid shit from Artemis Fowl

[storm jungle]

Bro

you dont even know ironkin?

[orchid lark]

lmao

[storm jungle]

💀

[orchid lark]

doesnt even know what hes bitching about

dont explain it to him

[storm jungle]

YEAH

[orchid lark]

please

let him just

[storm jungle]

its kind of in the name

[orchid lark]

let him just stay uninformed

please by god

[crimson kayak]

Robots made by the Votann Balls wich have full AI and are made to help the Kin

[orchid lark]

goddamn it

[orchid thicket]

Typical Votann player behavior

[crimson kayak]

oops

sorry

[storm jungle]

Its okay Monsi

[orchid thicket]

That's cool

[storm jungle]

you did your duty

[orchid lark]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1058456727021965315/1067564431778775050/FDD1DFEB-2CD1-41E7-A3A8-B9838C7EDEB8-1.gif

[orchid thicket]

Tau are cooler than the Votann

because they are cooler and alien

[orchid lark]

Tau weapons are thanks to

uhh

[orchid thicket]

Shut up

[orchid lark]

let me see here

[orchid thicket]

That's not canon. It will be reworked

[storm jungle]

it won't

[crimson kayak]

nono, it's still canon lol

[orchid lark]

sorry didnt realise your uncle worked with James Workshop

[crimson kayak]

it's just not All tau weapons

[orchid lark]

youre right

its just the tau weapons that they primarily hold in their hands

[crimson kayak]

if i remember right they traded the tech for pulse rifles principally

[orchid thicket]

Small arms to kickstart Tau plasma weapon technology?

[orchid lark]

tau already got arms 4head

[crimson kayak]

oh no wait, it was ion weapons

[orchid thicket]

Your arms are small because you are a Votann player. But if you were true dawi they'd be swole

[crimson kayak]

"Then there are items like the volkanite disintegrators, which use technology since lost to the Imperium, or ion technology, which is proscribed by the Adeptus Mechanicus. That’s their loss – the T’au Empire certainly seemed to appreciate being taught how to harness it…"

[orchid thicket]

But I thought Knights used ion shields

[crimson kayak]

i think it means ion weapons

[storm jungle]

They are swole

[storm jungle]

Also yeah ignore that

just another case of

"random sci-fi word used in different things"

H E L P

[orchid thicket]

I'm not really feeling those character designs chief

[storm jungle]

Then thats just a you thing

which is fair

but they are neat

[orchid lark]

sees something dwarfy

nah not dwarfy enough

[orchid thicket]

They don't like real dwarves to me

because they're just homo sapiens

[storm jungle]

...

[orchid lark]

whats a real dwarf supposed to look like

[storm jungle]

dwarves are literally just short humans

[orchid lark]

Torbjorn?

[storm jungle]

if we are going by that logic

[orchid thicket]

homo sapiens dwarf

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[green loom]

They're currently tougher than marines

[storm jungle]

bruh moment

[orchid thicket]

Dawi are not humans, therefore they are respectable

[storm jungle]

THEY ARE CLONES

THEY ARENT EVEN HUMANS

[orchid lark]

Purpose built flesh things

[orchid thicket]

They're just short stocky homo sapiens

You can't just call a human a dwarf

[orchid lark]

you can

its wrong

but you can

[green loom]

My genuine reaction

[orchid thicket]

Exactly, Votann are wrong

They don't have dwarf gods

[storm jungle]

Ancestor Cores

[storm jungle]

literally in the name

and totally not taken from the Ancestor Gods of warhammer fantasy

[silver pollen]

But you can call human an ogryn. Double standards?

[orchid thicket]

What is an ancestor core and why is it pretending to be some facet of dwarven ancestor worship?

[orchid lark]

so you complain about Votann

but know nothing of it

[orchid thicket]

No, because Ogryns are humans, while dwarves are not

[orchid lark]

Shrek had to take a potion to be human

[silver pollen]

Weren't squats another abhuman race?

[storm jungle]

They were but also arent

[orchid thicket]

Yeah, they're just humans

[storm jungle]

because most of the votann are clones

which i guess qualifies them as "xenos"

[orchid lark]

or Aberrants like

Space Marines

[storm jungle]

I know what we must do

[orchid lark]

not kinda human

[storm jungle]

we must consult

the GW storepage

[celest cedar]

Purge the Xenos

Kill the heretics

[silver pollen]

Sorry, @storm jungle but I don't follow... if you clone a human, wouldn't the clone be human as well?

[orchid thicket]

If you have homo sapiens in your DNA you are not a dwarf

[green loom]

Purge DN

[storm jungle]

Honestly i got no idea

[orchid thicket]

You are a homo

[storm jungle]

my only knowledge of clones comes from Star Wars

the peak form of education

[green loom]

Death Korps are aliens?

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

Hell yeah

[orchid lark]

Afriel Strain arent human then

[orchid thicket]

What the hell is that

[green loom]

Ephrael Stern?

[orchid lark]

no

[celest cedar]

Ogryns are ab(solutely)humans

[orchid lark]

Afriel Strain

[storm jungle]

Now we are cooking with gas

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-drg-squad-gif-21899440

[orchid lark]

Genestealer Cults - Xenos

hmm

[silver pollen]

I'm not sure, they are clones. Just artificial breeding and such, no?

[orchid thicket]

That's kinda dumb

You can't call a human being a xeno

[storm jungle]

Get owned

also you can

[orchid thicket]

You can't call a human a dwarf

[storm jungle]

xeno doesnt necessarily mean alien

[orchid thicket]

You can't call a dwarf a human

[storm jungle]

it also means "outsider/stranger"

[orchid lark]

Xeno itself means

Stranger

[silver pollen]

Oh no...

[storm jungle]

^

Anyway

get the hell over the votann already

[orchid thicket]

Votann are strangers to true dwarfs

[storm jungle]

you literally havent read anything about them

[orchid lark]

hey Dilara

[silver pollen]

Well, you can but only once.

[orchid lark]

remember what Joshua Graham said

[storm jungle]

yes?

oh god

[orchid thicket]

Of course not. Why would I?

[orchid lark]

its time for me to do it

[storm jungle]

You aren't really beholden to judge a faction you know nothing about.

[orchid lark]

Curate my online experience

[storm jungle]

DONT DO IT

[orchid thicket]

I know that they are fake dwarfs and therefore bad

[orchid lark]

[storm jungle]

You are just a hopeless manling

[orchid thicket]

A shame on all dwarfs even in other worlds

[storm jungle]

add Bones to the Blockchain of Grudges

we will rid him of all his crypto coins

thats a block from me

he was just fooling around

[orchid thicket]

Votann player can't handle the truth

[storm jungle]

hes just a LITTLE guy

you guys take this fight

im gonna time myself out for a day

[orchid thicket]

"They hated him because he spoke the truth."

Talking about 40k lore

thats also a block from me

[crisp heath]

Understandable have a day

[storm jungle]

im joking btw

[orchid lark]

got no reason to block strawberryTea

yet.

[storm jungle]

[orchid lark]

[green loom]

I should be blocked by default

[celest cedar]

Block me

IDGAF

[orchid lark]

say less

[silver pollen]

Is the 40k lore always like that: everyone blocks everyone until there is the echo chamber where there is only laughter of everhungry gods?

[orchid lark]

nah I wont

aint no reason to

[celest cedar]

I was about to type Fuck you Adam but alright

[orchid lark]

[near wasp]

I see we are discussing block today so i bring this one forword

Dilara i see you judging me

[crimson kayak]

for the votann discussion, reject modern stuff, embrace "Imperials, but short"

[near wasp]

Do they get full cover benifits from half cover?

[crimson kayak]

no, but they got Egg

also this apparently

Btw, shoulder mounted heavy bolter

[near wasp]

[shadow plover]

space marines also had those in ye olden days

[coarse pumice]

playing a game of warhammer

[near wasp]

They put warhammer in the warhammer

[echo vault]

the over the shoulder heavy weapon design is peak

[crimson kayak]

still waiting for a gravis model with shoulder mounted weapons

just so i can paint them as Doms from gundam

[silver pollen]

That's quite rational armor composition...

Minimum of shot traps and such.

[astral whale]

Can we talk about how the man standing next to the marine looks like he has a geanstealer head?

[crimson kayak]

he's the brains of the group, everyone else has a total amount of neurons equating to 5

[storm jungle]

Me and the lads discussing the best way to wipe out #darktide-memes from the face of the earth

[silver pollen]

But if there is no memes chat, where all these people would go?

[jovial glacier]

Hell

[storm jungle]

Thank god

[orchid lark]

I have my suggestions

[jovial glacier]

Actually you know about vermin memes right?

[storm jungle]

Yes.

Theres a good reason it entirely got nuked.

[jovial glacier]

I know

Hey I didn’t do it I just heard

I had a really bad thought that memes here would get deleted in the same way

[storm jungle]

Nah that wont happen unless theres an actual spam of awful IRL stuff which we are trying to not let get out of hand as it is.

Like vermin-memes was just oof

[jovial glacier]

Thank the lord

[storm jungle]

The issue is every time a mod steps in to delete offensive stuff people get offended so

hopefully it doesnt get worse

[jovial glacier]

||Honestly if a vermin memes ends up happening again it would probably just be porn ||

[storm jungle]

[jovial glacier]

Anyways back to warhammer, do sisters of silence speak to each other?

[storm jungle]

One moment please

https://tenor.com/view/alixxa-scroll-alixxa-plays-gif-15526590

Here we go

a similiar lookign fellow like you asked the question once before

[jovial glacier]

Hmm

Neat

[vale shuttle]

apparently the sisters of silence have taught their thoughtmark to other people

this allows me to make it canon that some of my sisters of battle know thoughtmark ||due to their sisters of silence lovers||

[queen laurel]

I just had a random thought, I remembered that orks can keep growing, the image of an ork wrestling a titan will always give me serotonin

[storm jungle]

Its entirely possible yeah

the problem is the ork needs to live LOOOOONG

[storm jungle]

Thats not out of the question either because the lore literally says they ran away to go incognito and make families

before g-man called em back that is

[vale shuttle]

also as orks get big they get cleverer, and so most of the time orks wont ever get to the point where they'll wrestle titans instead they'll just have an UberMegaDeathBeam to kill 'em all

[storm jungle]

also true

[jovial glacier]

Can’t wait to see ghazghkull get in a scrap with a titan

[queen laurel]

ohh yeah krorks

[orchid lark]

ye olde kroarks

[vale shuttle]

my homeberw lore is that when the sisters of silence vigil that guards their area and my SoB order met up the SoB were immediately enamoured with them because my SoB are all religious lesbian / bi artists so a bunch of misunderstood goths who can't speak and silently guard the imperium was just perfect fuel for all sorts of novels, paintings, poems (including love poems), and more

and so when they received all this the SoS were all: "...oh. Someone actually likes us."

[crisp heath]

Ufthak already killed a titan with the help of a squig and a grot, size isn't everything

[silver pollen]

Your SoB sound disturbingly slaaneshite...

[queen laurel]

"traitor and imperial titans are fighting, OH WAIT IT'S GHAZGHKULL WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!"

[jovial glacier]

Power chair

[crisp heath]

40k fans not calling any gay person slaaneshi challenge (impossible)

[vale shuttle]

40k fan don't accuse LGBT people of being Slaaneshi challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

[orchid lark]

telling you guys

just block people

dont know what he said

but

im telling you

block is good

[vale shuttle]

he called my SoB slaanesh worshippers :(

[queen laurel]

ah yes the favorite weapon of the angry marines

[orchid lark]

just block him

be done with it

[silver pollen]

Aren't SoB keeping such things inside their units?

[storm jungle]

Things?

[silver pollen]

Also, SoS have disturbing effect on any mortals, even non-psykers if I recall that right...

[storm jungle]

Kinda?

[silver pollen]

Love affairs

[storm jungle]

Its more just a bit of "I dislike you for some reason"

but like

these are literally THE Talons of the Emperor

they will at least be fearfully respectful

[crisp heath]

Sisters bone down if they want to

[storm jungle]

Never outright said but entirely realistic for it ot happen

war fucks people up

you need comfort anywhere you can in life

especially after burning down an orphanage

I mean what

[vale shuttle]

my sisters of battle date sisters of silence in cute lesbian relationships if they want

[crisp heath]

Pretty sure most sisters would get ptsd from not being in a warzone

[silver pollen]

Actually, the alarm bell was not the very fact of such love but the love poems and etc. After book about Fulgrim I look at artists and such with suspicion.

[vale shuttle]

they kiss on the lips and send each other love poems

[crisp heath]

Imagine the trauma of not cleansing the impure and glorifying the Emperor

[storm jungle]

Any of that is fine

[vale shuttle]

idk how to tell you that religious art is extremely common throughout history

[silver pollen]

Yeah, that's what I talk about.

[storm jungle]

its when you get into hedonism that shit starts to flip

like

instead of kissing a girl you just rip their lips off because you want to keep them forever

that kind of shit

casual "love" is nothing Slaaneshi

Its the same as how people think Eldar can never bang each other because "it will summon daemons"

[vale shuttle]

wait do you mean kissing on the lips and sending eahc other love poems is slaaneshi?

[crisp heath]

Sisters be like "I only love 3 things, God, guns, goth girls"

[queen laurel]

"Burning down orphanages is not an accident it is an obligation"

• a minotaur explaining to the inquisitor why there are burned children bodies all over the place

[silver pollen]

It is weird when compared with Pariah effect of SoS.

[storm jungle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932642462709743656/987822879481663570/unknown.png?width=716&height=502

[silver pollen]

Like you subconsciously DISLIKE that person. A LOT.

And can't do anything about it.

[crisp heath]

I have a matriarchal lesbian Knight house I need to sit down and write about, their house sigil is the pink triangle and they're a short step away from being magical girls in mechs

[vale shuttle]

Art should disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.

[near wasp]

Oh im glad i showed up for the heretic purging

[vale shuttle]

the SoB are 100% disturbed because they are constantly at war. they have PTSD. it's hard. the SoS are 100% disturbed because there's something about them that everyone hates. it's a part of who they are and they can't change it. so these two groups meet and, for a moment, they can share their souls with each other - and for a moment the disturbed are comforted.

[silver pollen]

You picked emblem out of history?

[crisp heath]

Also blanks are entirely capable of finding partners and reproducing, it's an inherited trait. There are even Canon blank prostitutes.

[vale shuttle]

if you haven't decided on imperial / chaos yet you can make them chaos and give them psychic powers cause there's a psychic chaos knight model (the aberrant)

[queen laurel]

I can't help but think that they look very similar to this

[crisp heath]

They're imperial because I hate chaos

[near wasp]

The maid knights

[crisp heath]

Nah they're more on the Gothic side of things lol

[near wasp]

Thats ok because nurgle still love you anyways

[silver pollen]

Maid space marines.

[orchid lark]

Blank men are either breeding studs or sent to Culexus right?

[queen laurel]

I see I see

[vale shuttle]

but chaos is cool and edgy

[orchid lark]

I cant remember but like, wasnt there a thing where Sisters of Silence have

[silver pollen]

For 15-year old ones?

[crisp heath]

Chaos is just a distraction from the glory of the xenos

[orchid lark]

whats essentially a sperm bank of blank dudes

[queen laurel]

• said the night Lords player

[storm jungle]

They actually have breeding programs yes

[orchid lark]

Night Lords aint chaos

[vale shuttle]

this is kinda embarassing for you ngl

[queen laurel]

really

[silver pollen]

Loyalist Night lords could be fun...

[orchid lark]

i mean in the sense of

[crisp heath]

If they're powerful enough. There are millions of imperial citizens just wandering around being blank, with no one really knowing why they don't get along with anyone

[orchid lark]

Chaos Aesthetics

[vale shuttle]

nah my chaos army is death guard!!!

[orchid lark]

if we talking Chaos Aesthetics

Word Bearers

cant beat the OG

them sweet Cthonic script tattoos

[jovial glacier]

Not as spiky as they are bulbous

[orchid lark]

Sexy

[crisp heath]

I like night lords and daemons of Nurgle, other than that I don't care for chaos. Khorne is cool but I absolutely abhor Slaanesh and Tzeentch

[near wasp]

If i biuld a choas army im gonna make a warband out of alot of different marines

[orchid lark]

fair point, forget about how 1 in a billion is a lot when you consider trillions of peole

[vale shuttle]

black legion does this!!! they'll acceept anyone who wants to wear the black

[crisp heath]

Vashtorr looks amazing and I hope they do a lot with him, might win me over to chaos

[orchid lark]

Or Red Corsairs

ya matey

yarr

[near wasp]

I dont like black and bronze though

[vale shuttle]

make your own warband then

maybe they splintered off from the BL

[jovial glacier]

Same I love vashtorr

[silver pollen]

Daemons of Nurgle have a great design, but I honestly find it hard to like them as a faction.

[vale shuttle]

maybe they formed over ten thousand years of elegant slaughter, allies through to the end

maybe they're just in it for this one crusade, and then they'll go their seperate ways

the sky's the limit!!!

[orchid lark]

or make a lot

like me

I have

uhh

like 7 written warbands?

[near wasp]

"Choas is choas no matter what colors you fly"

[queen laurel]

khorne basically looked at diablo's design and went "i can make an army out of that"

[crisp heath]

Yeah and he's amazing

[vale shuttle]

rad as hell dude, custom factions is the most fun part

[orchid lark]

one is a death guard warband serving under a daemon princess who was once a biomagos, so she looks like what is essentially Queelag from dark souls but machine and toxin spewing

[queen laurel]

can't argue with that

[vale shuttle]

||it's why i love getting a chance to talk about my sisters of battle order lmao||

[echo vault]

If a chaos dwarf bull centaur breaks its leg do they have to put them down like with real horses

[orchid lark]

I have 3 orders

[silver pollen]

Can't they fix it?

[queen laurel]

i think out of here i have the most out of character self made faction

[crisp heath]

I can't get into SoB but the first fan faction I made was an all-female Guard regiment based off the Lotta Svarde

[echo vault]

I mean isn't the whole deal with horses legs being injured that makes them tough to heal or fix

[orchid lark]

one wears veils because the founding sister suffered facial scaring, so she wore a veil to hide her face, but i just thought a veiled sister looks cool

[crisp heath]

Especially their imported commissar and their veteran addicted to combat stims who fights in her ceremonial uniform instead of actual flak armor (dress go spinny)

[silver pollen]

Well, regular horses usually aren't warped mutants with potentially enhanced regen.

[queen laurel]

the only ork klan i made specializes in rescue missions lmao

[orchid lark]

thats pretty cool

pay teef and we save you

we still take teef even if you dont wanna pay

[silver pollen]

Isn't female commissar uniform the same as for male one?

So no dress, I think.

[crisp heath]

The whole idea was a Valhalla-type winter planet desperate to boost their numbers who sent all the women who couldn't or wouldn't reproduce to die in the tithe (queer, infertile, hereditary disorders, etc) to die so they wouldn't sacrifice any potential mothers or working men

[queen laurel]

and whoever we are saving better trapped in the most dangerous place in men

[echo vault]

I just think it'd be funny

In a twisted bad way

[queen laurel]

for it to be more fun

by the way no revives if we accidentally killed the employer

[echo vault]

I wish they talked about the types of food in Warhammer like squig pie and other ork foods

[crisp heath]

I'm talking about the veteran, their ceremonial uniform was basically just the Lotta svarde uniform

[queen laurel]

from what i heard apparently squig tastes like ham

[echo vault]

That sounds good

[silver pollen]

Unpractical...

[echo vault]

The eating squig is horrifying

[orchid lark]

Grimdark, Edit it and ship it

[queen laurel]

It's what they use to clean the toilets and when it's big enough they eat it

[jovial glacier]

Blob fish

[queen laurel]

orks don't have the concept of hygiene

[echo vault]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-no-angry-steve-carell-michael-scott-gif-5606969

[orchid lark]

like what Apple said long ago

Theres a Squig for that

[queen laurel]

yeah, you want psychic grenade?
there's a squig for that

[orchid lark]

the mek just tied a squig to it

[silver pollen]

Meat is meat...

[crisp heath]

OK, so squigs and orks are technically the same species right? Hear me out

[near wasp]

Yes its cannibalism

[crisp heath]

Da lyin' squig. All it does is pretend to be an ork, very badly, it can't talk, it's only vaguely ork-shaped, and the only reason the others ever catch on is because it isn't fighty

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's the same as the Pokémon situation of do people eat Pokémon

so yes but we really don't talk about it

[storm jungle]

Average discord mod

oh wait

[orchid lark]

People are technically pokemon

It was legal to marry pokemon back in the day

SEND ME BACK

[near wasp]

prepared chickarida haunts my dreams

[silver pollen]

@vale shuttle a question!

SoB are within Ecclesiarchy hierarchy, right? Like their combat wing and such.

But isn't Ecclesiarchy not a big fan of SoS and Pariah in general?

[crisp heath]

Orks locked in a room having John Carpenter's The Thing situation, but instead of a shape-shifting monster they have to figure out which one of them is secretly a squig.

[queen laurel]

normal type, but somehow we don't have moves

[near wasp]

No gardevoir for you

[orchid lark]

they killed the fake ork in the beginning it was the first one

[silver pollen]

Don't think, they are same species. Similar, yes.

[orchid lark]

but they still kept up with the charade

[crisp heath]

Humans use bite, scratch, and attract

[queen laurel]

This would very very quickly either just ignore it or it would immediately devolve into bloodshed

[orchid lark]

my strongest Special Attack move

Gaslighting

[queen laurel]

tackle too

[orchid lark]

double punch too

[crisp heath]

And flamethrower

[near wasp]

If i fill a bottle with gasoline is that ember?

[vale shuttle]

imperial religion is extremely fragmented in general so regional variations are common.

also i don't know about any dogma against pariahs / blanks

[near wasp]

The church sees blanks as mutants

[queen laurel]

Also water gun but I don't think ours would be very effective

[vale shuttle]

also you seem suspiciously invested in making sure my SoB don't have goth girlfriends

[orchid lark]

same way they see Psykers as mutants

[crisp heath]

Abhumans can't join the ecclesiarchy, so I'd imagine that includes blanks

[silver pollen]

But they were forced into exile according to the book about return of Guilliman to Terra.

[orchid lark]

gotta send your order all the painkillers so no headaches

[vale shuttle]

in the new rulebook there's actually an explicit exerpt that says that certain Psykers are seen as holy and only those who are against the Emperor need to be purged

[crisp heath]

The ecclesiarchy is also totally fine with using well-behaved mutants, they just don't want to give them rights

[vale shuttle]

therefore, the same thing can easily be extended to blanks

[silver pollen]

Consider me a devil advocate.

Also, I know that SoB aren't celibate (not everyone), and they tend to sleep with each other, at least.

[vale shuttle]

their Homeworld produces excessive amounts of panadol

[orchid lark]

higher ups gotta recognize the importance of Culexus assassins, the SoS in the Black Ships

[coarse pumice]

tin of spam

[orchid lark]

you right

[coarse pumice]

shaped

[orchid lark]

looks a bit too the left, your blank girlfriend dissapears because its hard to perceive her, wheres my gf

[near wasp]

Just doesnt exist?

[orchid lark]

ive always been alone...

[near wasp]

Same

[vale shuttle]

they're putting chemicals in the water to make my goth vanish

[crisp heath]

You see when I think of fun blank stories, I think of a blank accidentally walking into the wrong wing of an imperial ship and turning off the navigator's brain

[near wasp]

Oh no

[orchid lark]

ggood thing we were in realspace

imagine if

wouldnt that be horrible eh disembodied friend

wait a minute...

[near wasp]

.... somebody arrest this witch

[silver pollen]

There is a reason, navigator room is heavily guarded.

So unlikely.

[crisp heath]

Depends on the class and purpose of the ship. There are navigators walking around unattended in one of the Cain books and Eisenhorn just sort of leaves his psykers laying around wherever

[queen laurel]

now that is funny except for the crew that will probably get their butt spread open

[orchid lark]

Navigators are free to move as they please

Also

I thought they were at the bride of the ship for some reason

[silver pollen]

In the night lord trilogy I recall navigators, being already unable to move like anywhere.

[crisp heath]

Maybe if they're old and heavily mutated

[silver pollen]

This

[crisp heath]

A lot of the PR navigators are more or less human and do as they please

[silver pollen]

Still, in Warp navigator certainly would be in his quarters and there would be a guard at the only entrance.

[crisp heath]

Rogue Trader went do far as to decide they are also hot

[silver pollen]

And if navigator is not at his/her quarters - ship is certainly not in the Warp, so no biggie if Paria switches him/her off.

[crisp heath]

I'm just saying a blank could go to burger king and accidentally disrupt the imperiums infrastructure on the way there

[orchid lark]

Burger Emperors

[crisp heath]

Flame grilled all-grox patties

[silver pollen]

Sounds good.

[near wasp]

Fries cooked in corspe starch

[silver pollen]

Though, anything that is not a corpse starch, sounds good...

[queen laurel]

Guaranteed that a poor guy died getting trampled by a grox to make this

[crisp heath]

That's where they get the fry starch from

Sustainable farming practices

[queen laurel]

that is a very good idea

[crisp heath]

I bet the noosphere has memes we couldn't even fathom

[silver pollen]

I have a weird idea... won't underhivers be better fed than just low-level civils because underhivers have access to the meat of questionable sources (rats and similar animals, humans) while all that regular worker gets is aforementioned corpse starch?

[near wasp]

Can you imagine if a magos tapped into the noosphere and he gets assaulted by unwarrented cat videos

[storm jungle]

Yeah but that requires Imperials to be smart

or rich people to not be assholes

The Imperium is suppose to be self-defeating

[silver pollen]

I know

I cry about it

[crisp heath]

Unironically there are native American type tribes in necromunda that are doing pretty well when they aren't getting killed by redemptionists

[storm jungle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/379106194398380043/926910255663816724/cryaboutit.gif

You're the one trying to make sense out of it

trust me

its not worth it

[orchid lark]

want some ratburger

thats a thing in Demolition Man

just because its there

dont mean we should

[storm jungle]

To be fair

he seemed to like it

https://tenor.com/view/ratburger-rat-demolitionman-sandra-bullock-sylvester-stallone-gif-24799478

SEE

[orchid lark]

hes been frozen for so long

[silver pollen]

Rat is edible if cooked right.

[orchid lark]

he dont know better

he jacked off in a tub

through some VR Shit

you wanna do that too Dilara

you wanna be weird like that

[near wasp]

Apperently a large rodent called nutria tastes good

[orchid lark]

i mean

people did eat Kangaroo

technically a rodent

[jovial glacier]

This isn’t memes chat calm down

[near wasp]

[silver pollen]

But discussing food in 40K is technically lore.

[orchid lark]

also youd think there would be more birds or something in 40k

i like to think pigeons survived against all odds

[silver pollen]

There were in Eisenhorn cycle, somewhere.

[jovial glacier]

If rats did pigeon survived too

[silver pollen]

But then you blocked be so won't read that anyway.

[near wasp]

Chickens still exist in 40k too right?

[orchid lark]

good good

[silver pollen]

Somewhere - definitely. They are practical to be kept in farms. Big undustrial kind of farms.

[orchid lark]

i can sleep easier

[crisp heath]

Nutria isn't too good, but you wouldn't guess it was a rat

Kind of tough and gamey

[near wasp]

I grew up on game meat anyways so thay doesnt really bother me

[crisp heath]

My dad used to hunt nutria for bounties

[silver pollen]

How would you guess, you eat a rat if it is your first rat and you are not told, what it is?

[orchid lark]

Jake English be like

[near wasp]

Same with rocky mountain oysters

[crisp heath]

I'd imagine rat is a bit greasy and bitter but tender, like other things that eat trash

Anything that feeds off human waste tends to pick up some of that bitter flavor

Tyranids definitely aren't edible but I'd imagine orks are

[silver pollen]

How do we know, they aren't? Biomass is biomass.

[green loom]

Just because it's biomass doesn't mean your stomach will like it

[silver pollen]

And it was such a brilliant idea. Imagine, how many hiveworlds could be saved from starvation by just one hive fleet... Unfortunately, it works the opposite way.

Because tyranid flesh is canonically extremely toxic to everything except tyranids

I'd imagine ork meat would have some insane flavor transfer in stew as it makes a meaty broth but also absorbs the flavor of anything else in the pot

Stew is definitely the best way to cook ork, low and slow to soften up those muscles

[crimson kayak]

I mean yeah eating an ork wouldn't be much different than eating a squig

[orchid thicket]

Meat would probably tougher since orks are a warrior-form

I'd imagine Squigs would be more tender

[crimson kayak]

Depends on the squig tbf, they kinda are just whatever the orks need at the moment if grown right
