Yeah its OLD
Did you not like the exodite 
only thing you can do is buy it from the site as a PDF
Yeah like i said sometimes GW doesnt bother
That one guy who just keeps going on about how they are dying race is not great
Gav Thorpe my unbeloved

A guy so infamous the eldar discord server has him as an emote
well, guess I gotta get myself a kindle then
Are the Exodite Eldar better off than their Craftworld cousins?
Kinda?
They arent as super advanced and just sit in one planet and chill
Craftworld Eldar are always mobile for the most part
There's only one Exodite planet?
No i meant in general 
exodite communities are spread across maiden worlds
which there are as many as the plot demands
gav is a perfectly good writer so long as you can keep him out of the elves.
he cannot be kept out of the elves. i stuck them into 40k.
Are the exodite eldar also afflicted by the "Slaanesh will eat their souls" thing ?
ah, that's just in line with how much GW leadership hates the dark angels.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who want to be in the elves. Rimshot
Yeah but in their case their spirit stones are connected to the Maiden World they are on
like the literal psychic spirit of the planet
so they are protected from Slaanesh by that
Well, thats nifty
Are they still protected if they leave the planet?
But that also means, if a maiden world falls to, lets say the imperium, they're royally fucked
Yeah unless other eldar rescue their souls and reach them somewhere safe thats the deal 💀
As long as you have your spirit stone yes
the moment you die your soul goes into that thing
Neato
you gotta rely on your mates to get you to safety in an infinity matrix somewhere
But i seem to recall that there is one faction of eldar that left before slaanesh was born and isnt affected by the whole soul eating thing
or am I misremembering ?
Any of you gamers working on homebrews?
Alas too busy with masters 
They're mixing up craftworld and dark eldar
That's why they are so desperate to wake Ynarri
Craftworld Eldar fled before the fall
Dark Eldar torture people to stave off slaanesh
Yeah if they cant torture anyone they literally shrivel up and die
Ynnari is supposed to be able to protect their souls
Ynnead
Ynnead* but yes
That was the Eldari nature godess that is held hostage by grandpa nurgle, correct ?
Their death god who is supposed to bitch slap Slaneesh
It's their god of death
well.... shit
Yeah its basically almost like an eldar version of Slaanesh in an ironic way
The Harlequins?
More gods means more factions means less concentrated plot armor means AoS plot progression
There is some intriguing fantheories that the Tyrannids presence in the milky way could awaken another chaos god
The hivemind is a god in its own right

the onyl chaos god they could awaken is the god of plotholes, and tzeentch is already here
Lmao gottem
: Look guys its not shit writing uhhh the Warp did it
: WAOW SUCH GENIUS WRITING GW
I mean, fair
Revelation is perpetually(hah) half a step from being a god
Especialy with the shadow in the warp the tyrannids cast
But then again
The tyrannids do infect humans via genestealers
and these genestealer cults rarely manage to bring forth psykers, and the swarm does have psychic creatures themselves
So what would hinder them to straight up awaken something in the warp just by existing ?
There isnt enough of them so no
not every tyranid creature is psychic
they are mindless drones made to take orders
Tyranids can leave
Don't like em
nids are best
average psyker L
Being connected to the hivemind
I think Tyrannids are quite interesting
tyranid players when you ask them how much time they spent painting their army
Let me cite Ciaphas cain - The Greater good. In Ciaphas's conversation with an astropath on a cruiser in orbit around Fecundia
"The shadow might just be the place a psyker feels most at ease at in the galaxy"
Eh, the whole alien race slowly devouring all life in the universe is a bit played out
to be fair
they are literally the Generic Locust Space Bug Race
so its a bit obvious
the nids are just zerg x10
A lot of sci-fi also uses the All-consuming Bug Race too
so its not a new concept by any means
I mean, that depends on the variant of nid
Arachnids have 8 legs iirc
Not all tyrannids have 8 appendages
the xenomorphs of the alien movies are also bugs
i think they mean the bugs from starship troopers
Ohhhhh
yeah, that would make sense
What we need
Is bugspray
Is a race of giant space squids that just want to give everyone hugs
lots and lots of bugspray
enslavers
Good hugs, not bad hugs
Btw, would gaunts ghosts be comparable to the cain saga ?
Nah, it's enslavers and not hanar.
take it or leave it.
Basically
Cain is a lot more comedic
Gaunt's Ghosts is very serious
and much more war focused
Like the moment you read the first few pages you'll notice the difference in tone
The recent Starship Troopers game is a blast
yes it is
im just waiting for horde mode
Yeah, that's gonna be gooooood
Operative gaming
thems rookie numbers
Is there other books like ciaphas cain in the black library ? I quite enjoy the mix of both serious moments and comedic undertones
Uhhh
you might like the necron books
Comedy isnt something 40k books do a lot sadly
they announced helldivers 2 recently lol
Had to keep myself from laughing aloud the other day in the bus
Cain went "I'm not easily spooked" to which amberly vail just interceeds with "HA" and then cain continues
fuckin classic
yeah Ciaphas Cain I really dont take as canon. They are just stories that feel like they were fanfics.
That's odd since they specifically muddie the actual stories about him
didnt Cain join an artillery regiment to avoid direct combat only to end up in a chimera and used as bait?
Yes lmao
His first deployment
Things were turning sour
So he took his command vehicle and booked it
Then completely on accident ran into a flanking maneuver by the enemy
And called artillery behind him as he ran the hell away back to his regiment
Lauded as a hero for foiling the enemy's plan
Basically that
so he is the "bumbling fool that somehow ends up saving the day by accident" kind of character?
No
He's the poster boy for the phrase, "Better lucky than good."
He's a coward but not stupid and pretty pragmatic, and he ends up having to be the hero in spite of his best efforts
Guy took on a Hivetyrant in 1v1 combat and won
can't realy call that a bumbling fool
ah
He's also pretty damn good at his job
shocking
aaaaaannnnnnnddddd one of the few commissars that DOESN'T shoot their own men.
Well he does a few times
LITERALLY what I was about to write
But as he himself says
ofc competent people in the middle ranks are the only reason the imperium hasnt already collapsed
A good commissar is one that doesn't die heroically while the enemy is a few leagues away
A good commissar is one that doesnt get killed by "friendly fire accidents" too
That's what I'm insinuating
Which is one of the reasons cain is nice to the troopers
XD
So they dont shoot him in the back
Commissar Michus dies heroically
The enemy never reached the line
Implies he gets fragged by the regiment
But that also shows his understanding of the guardtroopers
and of humans in general
thats what happens when you are an idiot meme lol
he is a master manipulator in a way
true
Though
despite him being as charismatic as he is
He's also untrusting to a degree
In NONE of the ciaphas cain books, he ever just takes others doing something for him as "because they like him"
which amberly elaborates on a lot of times
He trusts Jurgen and no more is needed 
Best example would be Lord General Syvan
Everyone deserves a Jurgen
True, Jürgen is a treasure
well then. he is smarter than most people
A treasure with the aroma of week old socks, but a treasure none the less
Jurgen the mighty melta man
pure bro energy
he does
It's kinda funny how you read guant or cain and you think commissars are great and think about the men they are with.
Then every other story they are basically crazy zealots who run suicide missions into underhives
he is an icewarrior right?
Yep, valhallan
Even after a bath he smells like shit
Sorry to disagree, but no
the ice warriors bathe? thats a joke btw
It is mentioned repeatedly, that despite being a blank, he also has VERY poor body hygiene
but even after a shower he smells like shit
Its both
he has both shit hygine and its how his blank aura is felt
My guess is, at some point he just stopped caring
and him smelling like a rotting carcass gives others a reason to associate their dislike
better than being known as a blank
exactly
Though Jürgen himself also has no idea he's a blank
Amberly tried to explain, but he didn't get it
XD
Which is just so Jürgen
its hillarious realy
But he's loyal to cain, to a fault even
Because cain is something like his first real friend
Fuck it, i think im gonna reread, or rather relisten to the cain novels as soon as I finish the greater good
Yeah audiobooks of cain are great
Okay so serious question here. Why is it ALWAYS Nurgle? In every game, every animation, every cut scene the chaos invasion is always Nurgle. When we going to get a Khorne invasion, or Tzeentch? I mean I get why no Slaanesh because these aren't NC-17 games but seriously. Why always Nurgle?
Khorne had his time in the spot light back in the early 2000s and Tzeentch/Slaanesh arent as much of a horde style so they are harder to make work in a video game
there will likely be some Tzeentch stuff at some point
By "Time in the spotlight" do you mean Space Marine and Dawn of war? Where the "Khorne" Faction was either the Alpha Legion or the Black Legion? When we gunna get some daggum World Eaters?
and the og chaos gate
tzeentch is too much labor to write for because you have to have The plot TWEEEZT! and slaanesh is hard to do in a way that doesn't anger the censors without pissing off the fans.
nurgle can be written for PG stories, you can't do that with the other three honestly.
i think the new rogue trader arpg will feature all 4 of the chaos gods
I mean I get why no Slaanesh. I really do. But Nurgle is getting really stale.
eh, no pun intended
that would be awesome
I mean we get nods to Khorne in Darktide with the armored Ragers
but I wanna fight some blood letters, or have a Juggernaught crush my face.
plus you can do Slaanesh without the NSFW stuff
which is what i suspect the rogue trader arpg will do
BTWs Deathguard when?
ah man
would be an awesome boss
Would also be cool to kind of Drive home how OP the Astartes really are. Because it's not a Deathguard Champion or named character. It's literally just "A legionary" the way we fight A Chaos Spawn
thats why they wont be in darktide
chaos marines showing up would blow several holes in the plot, and we barely have any to see as it is.
^
theres plot? =p
like 5% of one yeah
😂
maybe one day they'll remember to write the rest for us.
maybe
😆 😆
All we got on Darktide lore right now is -Rannick:”are you ready, Zola?” Zola: “Ready!”
Both: “Welcome to our Club! Welcome to our Club! Welcome Reject! Welcome Reject! Welcome Reject! Welcome Reject! Welco-“
Hadron: “SHUT YOUR FLESH-WIT PIE HOLES!”
chaos marines showing up would itself be the plot. there just isn't any at the moment
the only plot we got is pointless shit happening on the inquisitor fleet with no effect whatsoever
i hope the level up cutscenes are temporary filler right now because god damn is the traitor sub plot pointless
Wyrmwood is the plot
Yeah hidden vox recordings would be great
so the Lion is sidelined in the upcoming story progression?
"hey btw the Emperor's appointed xeno killer will be hanging out under the bleachers instead of being the QB"
In his Novel he doesn't really get going with the wider Imperium. Idk if there's a book with a bit more. He's got art fighting Angron.
They did that in VT1, but in VT2 they went with Lohner's journal
given how badly Gilliman reacted to it im surprised the lion even tolerates it
and if Russ should ever come back he will most likely end up beheading the Eclissiarch
the lion will
idk about Russ
if anything Gilliman will most likely do everything he can to keep Russ on the frontlines as much as possible so he has no time to head to Terra/focus on the shitshow the imperium is
Naaah, they will all see the emperor in one form or another, but they will not all go talk to him on terra
The Lion in the novel is considerably more chilled out than heresy Lion
Sleeping close to 10k years does things to a mf
Poor boy just needed a nap
Looking at the new missions and cosmetic blurbs that are not fully botched it does seem like the traitor storyline was much bigger and regarded Tertium as a whole instead of random inquisition Mook 102852
Nurgle has only been in like 3-4 games
people are legit super overblowing it lol
And nothing say that the other Chaos Gods won't be introduced along the Live Service timeline
when I play Darktide, I go in and click on zombieman heads
i dont think about anything else
The emperor is a lie and fake
i really hope no one believes the emperor is real
Maybe Valrak does
some people go in Lore Chat thinking its the RP chat
If someone believing the Emperor is real make them a better person
I'd let them believe it
who is Valrak, keep seeing him on youtube sometimes
you damn well know the only people believing in the emperor even ironically are probably crazy neonazis on twitter or something
parading with their maltese crosses
40k fans and doing cringe RP in random chats
name a more iconic duo
Valrak is fist fan Numero uno, uses "Oh my Holy Emperor" in sentences, he talks 40k news and lore and used to do games
them and my block fu
Idek what he does anymore lmao
Basically Zerokewl but banana flavoured
y'know ive been a part of many nerd fans and the only one ive seen consistently use the names of the characters like they're God is 40k
adventure time fans used gog a lot
remember that
or is that like my age group of people
no because ive never seen adventure time
Glob
actually ive seen wow superfans do cringe style rp in random chats but they're much much much less frequent than 40k fans
40k doesnt have a mmo for RP chats
also, how would you even really set a setting for an RP chat
this isnt MSRP (scorpio)
im gonna blow your mind when i tell you you can RP in nothing but a text interface
based
anyway what i mean is that 40k fans will go into a random thread and be like "kill the xenos m filth" but i never really see other fandoms do it
nvm the sites are down, good bye msparp, and charatrp
except some wow superfans
haha i was an active part of WrA until ||something terrible happened||
WrA=Wyrmrest Accord?
yep
I’m on WrA
in this day and age, there are likely some that do
take birds aren't real
it was made to mock the crazy conspiracy theories all over the net and has never claimed other wise and yet some people still think its true and that birds are just government drones
Lmao
yeah its a perfect example of just how dumb people are now a days
Humanity always have their dumb side, you just need to look at history and it's obviously not something new.
oh i know
but ever sense the dawn of the internet people have been reverting back to "dark age" levels of dumb
there are many that think the world is flat
something that only the dumb peasants of old thought
No it was for a long time something religion related, peasants probably did not care because they had all of their focuse on surviving, honestly i prefer that than Mr H (small mustach man) kind of dumb.
fair
and true
but sadly a world full of dumb people makes a Mr. H 2.0 all the more likely
and makes said 2.0 all the more likely to succeed
History repeat yes, for better and worse.
Yup >.> So what was the prefered food of the emperor ? (I think we have enough talked about history or dumb people)
thats better asked in reddit
in 40k? the souls of 1k psykers
They are going to say bad thing about the emperor so i shall not ask >.>
i do wonder what he ate back in the pre-30k period
Chocolate @O@
Just live off power
what did anyone on earth eat back then anyway, from what i know it wasnt exactly a hospitable place
Vegan Meats
He probably loved lasagna >.>
lol
Malcador meat >.>
Everything r/40klore does is
- Talk about Primarchs
- Talk about the Emperor was if hes a good written character

Dissecting through layers upon layers of bullshit that is the Emperor
i mean yeah, it's not wrong if it's intended.
Its just a flawed man who disconnected emotion
ıts not lmao
at least 20 writers have written the Emperor now, its bad
I once was told that by someone on 40k that we really hit the end of what we could ask because I asked if there were Living Saint Dogs
On the base level the emperor is okay, but when you just get into the meat of most books
Its just what
Like so he does care
Oh wait this says he doesnt
But this one says he is going to
But on the other hand he isnt anymore
The utter shittiness of the emperors written character is more Alpha Legion smokescreening than actual Alpha Legion
OH MY FUCKING GOD

@storm jungle
I like to believe the emperor almost cared his sons back in 30k writing
God there's no way that's not intended
But you never know
Among Us is such a specific way to describe like hiding near us
You literally cant use any other words

no
Yeah, any progress with knowing ANYTHING about the emps
Is always via Malcador or someone else going like
Naaaaaaaahhhhhhh
But unless
Naaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Literally the worst way possible to have a character be told from the viewpoint others
Yes, probably to keep alot of the Mystery of the emperor of mankind @O@
it pays to not think of the emperor as a character and more as a set piece
Yeah a lot of people dont know this thanks to hearsay
Also
LDFSKLSD IM SORRY
You know that

the emperor is a great character if you assume everything he does and says is in order for him, personally, to continue getting power and advancing his genocidal fascist goals
What if Malcador was the real Emps and Emps was just his ideal vision
Nah
then malcador was just as bad as big e
I mean he was
No one ever goes i wanna be a decrepit old man
||i actually know a character that did do this||
then both would have vanished after Malcador became a pile of dust
oh
It feels like a hard thoery to not poke hole into
Dun dun dun
It was all just personality disorder
Sorry
TA TA
Malcador as the Emperor fits his previous modus operandi more, and using an alias of ‘the emperor’ who’s him but not
Erda should have survived
And it's weird how Emps only really got along with Malc
Im goijng to Nottingham if erda comes back
why?
GW don’t give a shit about what happens in the novels
Generally he sees himself as the great martyr, and considers Malc with similar reverence
but what does Nottingham have to do with that?
GW HQ
oh
It's like asking why i get along with my best friend.
Why
ngl i thought GW was headquartered in London lol
Isn't Nothingham in Greater London ?
Oh woah, it's real far from London
Near Birmingham 
no it's not the only people emperor ever liked were people who were unwaveringly loyal and obedient to him
that's why he made the custodes genetically unable to disagree with him
literally north east of it lol
Yeah but it's only Malc, and Malc sometimes didn't agree
I don't always agree with my friend >.>
The guy also never really got along with the other perpetuals, and is way more proactive than they are
There was a group of perpetuals that hung out with the emps
Like Malcador wasnt the only one
They all fucked off because of something
Was Malc a Perpetual ?
Yeah but he was the only one left
Yes
they heard the emperor talking about how he couldn't wait to gun down all the xenos in the streets and they were like "dude what the fuck" and left
what ever happened to the rest of the sigilites?
that's true, but they never disagreed on anything super important, and when the emperor pushed he would always get his way
He was just making space for Humanity dominion
Didn't they end up being the origin of the Inquisition ?
so he was making living space for humanity?
He want to make humanity thrive and not repeat the mistake of the dark age of technology, and he was ready to do anything to accomplish this, even genocide.
For his humanity, not for the one that weren't under his boot
yeah i mean i know the emperor was going around doing genocides that's why i dont like him
hot take: genocide is bad
Do you question the emperor >.> ?
remember what i was saying about weird RP in places where it shouldn't be?
Is Rangdan genocide bad?
i dont know shit about the rangdan genocide, but also im not going to fulfill your theoretical argument where we make up a hypothetical scenario where genocide is good
But not like its a big difference when the Imperium was killing human and alien civilizations that did nothing to them alike
Also this lol
That finish in a genocide no ?
Basically my point is
just because you should kill an evil alien race doesnt mean you should do it to everyone else

Except you should. Just in case.

The real plot twist is that everything happened in 40k is because the emperor and erda actually went on holiday
they accidentally went on holiday to Space Brazil and were changed forever
It was just a ploy
Like oh no
Rogal dont put me on this throne and lock this door
The seconds door closed he’s off
And went to space cancun
"damn this galaxy's a shithole now. no idea why. eh, better bounce."
But because the custodes kept watching the “corpse”
The emperor cant actually swap places with it anymore
He wanted to do a jesus trick
And like be like oh look all my evil sons are now redeemed lol
He’s like the old people who only go on cruises now
the golden throne isnt a life support system it's the greatest VR system ever built
he's been sitting there on Space VRChat and playing Half Life 928
He’s catching up with all the shows he missed
So he was supposed to come back in m.34
But imperial television is just really good too
So he’ll be free by M.43
imperial television is all about how great he is so he can't NOT watch every single epsiode of every single show made on every single world on the imperium
yes. there's a version of it on that one paradise world. the women staffing it have bombs in their necks.
i imagine that it's one of the few businesses that can be found on every world
thankfully those restauraunts dont exist where i live so ive avoided them forever
maybe by millennium 40 will be rid of them
god damn i was looking at eldar knights and they just make me want more an exodite army
space wood elves space wood elves space wood elves
if i was ever gonna do a xenos army it'd be space wood elves
for a second there i thought the big one was flipping us the bird lol
tbf considering exodites don't live the martial monk lifestyle of the craftworld it would be very much possible for one to do so
awesome
the exodites just get better the more i learn about them. there needs to be more stuff on them
basically they are eldar knight worlds, but they also have a culture much more similar to how it was before the fall of the eldar
i think exodites are the most likely new army for xenos if they did another new xenos army
HOWEVER that would also require GW acknowledging Eldar which is actually impossible according to the laws of physics
I need to revisit my Hussar homebrew
no. they acknowledge them all the time. just its only when they need a punching bag
if exodites came out i'd get to have the holy trinity of chaos imerpium xenos
i'd be a true warhammer 40000 gamer
That isnt even a joke
EVERY
SINGLE
EXODITE APPEARANCE IN BOOKS
They always get their asses kicked
Or like, serve as a plot device because the protags need to fetch a mcguffin from their region.
Its actually almost comedic
😩
Im sure exodites will get some minis at some point though
GW knows how to get easy nostalgia bucks
and they had minis in the past, no matter how ugly
unfortunately i speculate that the most likely new armies are emperor's children and dark mechanicum which means that exodies would be like 3 years away at the very least
dark mechanicus would slap
especially if Vashtor ascends, could easily be his first army
i mean yeah a dedicated cult of the arkifane codex for the dark mech could work
I definitely get the feeling vashtor is going to try for iron warriors/iron hands or dark mechanicum should he reach godhood
i believe that vashtorr is basically trying to gauge the potential popularity of a darkmech faction
thats why he was released
And Iron warriors would tell him to go f*ck himself.
even through we forget he can't actually ascend fully as that would mean killing off the imperium using "The Weapon"
(and considering you know, it took the whole of arks of omen just to get the key, and he still has to find the lock)
One day
Exodites
Gonna get the exodites before updated warp spiders

Its doubtful, but chaos xenos things would be interesting
space squirrels space squirrels space squirrels
horde army with a big focus on psychic abilities
i once read someone suggesting chaos squirrels and it's been stuck in my head for years
i dont know why.
Nah Squirrel are Skaven but good
Why does that sound like it could be a really good ass soundtrack
Because an organ makes anything better
The only chaos presence in Blood Bowl is a squirrel named Akhorne
I love Akhorne so much
all the chaos teams getting confused in the corner
He isn'T chaos iirc ?
And Skaven, and Beastmen
I mean, beastmen are like, 3/4 of 90% of chaos teams
Even the standard chaos chosen kit is like 8 beastmen, 4 warriors and 1 minotaur
Was it the Greenskin where there was a joke meta where you took as many Goblins with you and just aimed at hurting/killing as many opponent
not a starting team though lol
the players would cost too much for that whole lineup
depends on which edition, but the goblin team was generally one of the worst, the standard orc team was OK and black orcs might be worse than goblins
the meta (or really just top teams) has usually been:
Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Undead, Amazons, Dark Elves
but in the 2020 rules there were some nerfs and it got shaken up
I did say joke meta
depends what's even meant as a joke meta lol
I would say the Halflings are probably the biggest meme team
apparently they managed to do well with a meme build using hired star players
@storm jungle can i have the amogus rannick video again
to go on from this, for the three chaos teams, indeed beastmen do feature in all of them and are the main linemen in Chaos Chosen (undivided)
Khorne and Nurgle teams feature beastmen, but they're not the main focus and are kind of more elite/specialist players (Khorngor and Pestigor), where Khorne has marauder berserker linemen (human stats with frenzy and low armour), and nurgle has rotters (basically poxwalkers)
I'd like to add I hate playing against Dwarfs
everyone hates playing against dwarfs. they don't have magic or cavalry to speak of so they have to learn defensive plays and everyone hates defensive games.
same
I didn't realize it until now
like not even the emperor's champion wears terminator armor afaik
well they do have them
the sword brethren
Sword Brethren is a specialist rank within the Black Templars.[1]
yeah but it looks like the sword brethren are just the personal honor guard of the marshal so they likely dont see much frontline duty
and the only way to show them is to show them along side the marshal leading the given crusade
ok i thought that tts popcast was just using some parody art of Helbrecht
but no
that really is his face
His face on his new model is much the same 
The servitor isn't programmed to understand context, he just cleans the sword

dude be looking like Frankenstein
also, the other servitor peeking out from his cloak with the heavy melta lol
Not advanced enough for targeting computers, but advanced enough for a servitor to calculate exactly where the blade will swing back to get the perfect cleaning swipe on it
lol
is the gold paints from citadel just more bronze color than other lines?
or am i just losing my eye for colors
I think the writer is
yeah unless im wrong that armor is bronze
i think it is bronze
like in one short story Dorns armour was a burnished bronze
could just be a tradition for high marshals
and yet most of his artworks show his armor as a gold color
thats the weird thing about it
talk about getting wires crossed
armour is never really described
forgeworld paints him in gold and describes it as auric
iirc auric is a shade of bright gold
GW just seems to like gold
just three primarchs with gold armour
youd think fulgrim and Horus wouldve had the honour for it too
and the emperor, and most of the custodius and many of the sisters of silence and a SOB order and a few SM chapters and some IG leaders
gold is a very common color in 40k
isnt SoS silver
some of them
Depends
gold is nice trimming colour
imo if you are gona have gold armor at least have silver trimming
i honestly love veteran colour patterns for SM
White, sometimes silver, sometimes gold
just
chefs kiss
You know what would be based
Leandros showing up as a Captain in SM2
with his own Sidonus and mini Leandros
But the Sidonus stand in is Malum Caedo
if theres more Rahul id take anything
Leandros showing up in general would be cool
he has a stick up his ass but he's an intresting character
or even better, he understands the place Titus was in
and is ashamed to see his former captain
although
we dont know whether Malum Cadeo belongs to auroch digital or to GW
GW
technically
GW loans out the IP to video game companies to use
its why GW can technically make minis or transfer sheets for video game characters
like that one shitty knight mobile game
It's not as if Mk7 didn't steal the face grille from the Eldar in the first place...
that only looks true from the front. from the side it's very different.
Saint Gerstahl is an Imperial Saint. It is said that he fell defending the Cadian Gate during the first centuries after the Horus Heresy. Entombed in a Shrine World now named in his honor, a prophecy exists that states that the saint will rise again when the "Eye of Darkness opened for the last time." However during the Third Black Crusade, Abaddon the Despoiler destroyed his remains.[1]
lmao, owned
I hope we get Atleast a passing mention of the guy who's name literally means "I Slay Evil"
Due to me needing to quarantine my cats I had to set my room for them so they couldn’t know anything over so all my hobby shit is in the closet
So maybe I’ll actually get the energy to hobby after the 10 days lol
It’s like uhh

You know… I like Darktide’s core gameplay, but man they dropped the story in my eyes. Which is a shame, because there is hints of a great story there in the promotional stuff and voxcasts. I feel like if they implemented the background info like Tertium’s fall to chaos, the history of the Moebian 6th, making the traitor someone our character actually interacted with more, etc, it would be a better game for it
The traitor is actually Zola
I'd wait til the next actual content drop comes up. I could see them continuing the story from there, though whether it actually improves on what we've seen or not we'll just have to see.
Would actually be a really cool twist. Or Ranick could be a traitor too, just for a different faction
Zola=in charge of rejects
Traitor=reject
Zola didn't trust us despite bogus charges, sole survivor of a firefight with a random knife in a non fatal spot
Genestealer cult as a DLC enemy faction. Turns out in the second hive city, there is a civil war between the Nurgle cultists and the genestealer cultists, hence why the inquisition is keeping it hush-hush u til they have the time/manpower to deal with it
I often love joking that Darktide is actually just the prequel to Space Marine 2 as well
Just building up the Genestealer infestation into tyranid invasion
The WH40KVGU
To me, genestealers are more sinister than chaos cults. Chaos cults rise to power much quicker, but they are also a lot showier doing so. They either live or die, and they usually die unless outside assistance comes. When the genestealers rise up, it means things are VERY dire indeed
ya think the prayers the AdMech utter are actually instructions from tech manuals for maintaining machines?
Thatd be funny but it also could just be binaric code
wouldnt admech be speaking like a much larger digit language?
instead of binary?
what would it even be in the future
2048bit code or something impossibly crazy
well, it would still be binary i think
binary is old, even for us
i think we have some examples of this and yeah if i recall it's true
Yeah but its still the basis of every computer. We program in languages but its still just 1 and 0s
right but it's like, as i understand it the physical tools we use for circuits (gates?) can be off or on, so the most foundational level anything is expressed in that on/off dataset
the binary is expressed as 0s and 1s but it's more accurately state 0 and state 1
Some of them are
"Horror, Betrayal, Darkness, Tyranids... Vengeance. A Father's Story."

All foot...
Technolingua? Something lingua
i would assume so
or at least can understand it
because you need special augments to be able to speak it
i was curious
George Boole published a paper in 1847 called 'The Mathematical Analysis of Logic' that describes an algebraic system of logic, now known as Boolean algebra. Boole's system was based on binary, a yes-no, on-off approach that consisted of the three most basic operations: AND, OR, and NOT.[13] This system was not put into use until a graduate student from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Claude Shannon, noticed that the Boolean algebra he learned was similar to an electric circuit. In 1937, Shannon wrote his master's thesis, A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits, which implemented his findings. Shannon's thesis became a starting point for the use of the binary code in practical applications such as computers, electric circuits, and more.[14]
it predates computers by a lot, but was attractive to circuts cause they have that on/off dichotomy
from binary you get bits - The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. The name is a portmanteau of binary digit.[1] The bit represents a logical state with one of two possible values. These values are most commonly represented as either "1" or "0", but other representations such as true/false, yes/no, on/off, or +/− are also widely used.
so: the mechanicum would almost certainly still be using binary on some level, although presumably after thousands of years of incence and insular nonsense they maybe don't understand they're using it, much like i assume they can't actually meaningfully code anymore
could be mistaken
they can speak any of the Cant Mechanicus's generally speaking
The mechanicus fully understand pretty much all modern science and programming
problem is the stuff thats more advanced then that
yeah but how they understand it is vastly different to how we understand it
also true
well do they write it fresh
Sometimes
or are they just copying from anchient codebanks that are presuambly as decayed as all other information in the imperium
they know how to program
Cybernetica data smiths beyond using pre programed cards also make new ones
from scratch
depending on the situations they run into
are there websites in 40k
Locally yes
yeah, probably just as much as a system local thing
Thats all programmers

You either borrow code from your self
or from someone else
one thing i dont get, how can the warp influence the thought process of the tech priests if their brains are so augmented they barely have any emotions? like how can Tzeetch influence their dreams if they cant dream or dont even need to sleep?
Imagine the vtubing scene during the dark age of technology
as i understand it we are several levels of code deep? so even if you are programming that's some language that gets interpreted by the os that gets interpreted by the buh kernel (?) that gets interpreted by the hardware, i'm skipping a bunch of steps but you get me
machines explictly can fall to chaos so cyborgs can too i guess
true
in 40k you can travel across the Imperium and each planet has a different internet
imagine even hardcore psyops for it
wow, I sure do love watching Terrax Commi-chan on holy Twitch.[planetary system here]
there is a small layer of cyberpunkiness in 40k that i appreciate
chaos internet is still mostly porn and amazon ads.
it's like the darknet, but on top of russian benzos you can order like orphan souls
They still have flesh and technology is easily exploitable by chaos
tech priests can't fully replace their brain
with machinery either
No
the Dragon of mars
isn't a C'tan (probably)
and is arguably even worse for humanity
well not all of one, no whole ones exist, but i thought he was a big ol chunk of one
No
what is it then?
it is heavily implied to be something else
its an eldritch abomination
unrelated to the c'tan
so it could be chaosy
because i thought Tyrzen said it was a shard of the eater of knoweldge that had gotten free due to corrupted containment code in its prison
Nope
the only hard info we have on it
is from the former Guardian of it
which is, it was from space, its very old, it might be entirely unique as a creature, it has brought species into existence before and also wiped them out
well, we also know that the ur iron man guy who's like tens of thousands of years once said to the tech priests of mars like, fuckin lmao your omnisaha would hate what you do and hate you, if i recall a youtube someone shared
yeah
he might have been fucking with them tho
Ur-025 says they have met the omnissiah
not that earthling corpse
whether he's telling the truth or not
thats up for debate
all the stuff that heavily links the Dragon of Mars to the Void Dragon is from necron lore pre 5e
they should do more stuff with robots in the setting, it's the only apocolypse that the setting doesn't seem to have going. necrons kind of suck the oxygen out of the room
Imagine believing a man of iron
They're salty they got rekt
Also Ur-025 is pretty friendly to humans
Jimmy Space protects
yeah he's chill
the only reason he kills the tech priests
is because they try scrapping him for parts
for their Kastalan robot
which yeah they had that coming eventually
well, the fact that he's decent and not like, rar must kill all humans, and also the squats robots are cool, and the tau have cool robots, kind of implies maybe the age of strife rebellion could have been more layered? but it's not been explored
like maybe the humans mistreated them super badly
since that seems to be 98% of how we interact with the universe
the emperor lived through it, presumably the other stupid immortals did too, there are people out there who have at least some understanding of what happened. the league of votan schizmed at around this period too
the uh, necron museum guy, tzan or something. he prolly knows
Knowing BL they're gonna make rhe man of iron rebellion be chaos too
no
iirc they showed that while men of iron can fall to chaos most of them didnt
in that book where Ur goes to the blackstone fort
Yeah there's chaos men of iron in a certain dan abnety book
wait isnt this actually a thingg tho
Yeah
isnt that what the original titan said
But it's not because they fell to chaos explicitly
It was from a chaos corrupted stc i think
yeah the rebellion was not due to chaos
i would write them as creatures of order, like modrons or something. always seemed dumb that the imperium had that on lock, while like stifling perfect pig-in-a-cage-on-antibiotics order hasn't really been explored in the setting much
or is the original titan and men of iron rebellion two seperate things
Yeah
Honestly I don't think it was humanity treating them bad either
Humanity in daot were like
or my dumbass outsider perspective can't detect it at least
its just Warframe
They didn't even exterminate orks when they could
we sent the robots away and they uh gained the wrong type of sentience
we had to kill all of them
i seem to recall reading that the "rebellion" was more just a civil war between the men of iron and stone and the humans just got stuck in the middle
and like way more throughly than anything else in the setting gets killed
Yeah
arent the men of stone humans?
Cause they wre worse than anything in the current setting
I thought they were like androids
ai controled cyborgs iirc
Like custom design for deep space travel
Nah they're not ai controlled
More like
A new breed of enhanced human
They talk about how they have diminished souls
Men of Stone are artificially created human beings made a by a group of humans called men of gold
So they are baseline human
interesting
Men of gold are just og humans
i am tired of these motherfucking elemental men on this motherfucking material plane
that is one theory
I'm just waiting for Men of Netherite at this point
They could be
Men and Stone
They could be men of stone that adapted to the galactic core
that would be nice
well they have integrated their AIs as like fully equal members of their socieities and also they are the only ais left existant which doesn't imply super nice things imo
But yeah, the only true ai beings were men of iron
heres to hoping someone in BL remembers all of this stuff
ADB could be here right now
lazy man, do your own research
lol
some AI bad
and like he'd explicitly know! he woulda been there!
the First Legion had a lot of AI for their Ironwing Protocol
Exactly. The most fucked up thing is that
Like
Let's say the Shaman emperor origin is true
The Lion coming back to the Rock, "oh shit, those kastelans are still here."
Right
wasnt it the cult mechanicum that outlawed AI and not the emperor?
despite being on the literal otherside of the galaxy
The emperor did what he wanted to do and made humanity enlightened demigods
and the Adeptus Mechanicus/Cult Mechanicus carries that on
i usually like conceptualizations of the emperor as either incompetent or malicious
so that appeals to me
Malicious is better
I mean it's not malicious or incompetence
well look at the scoreboard it's one of the two
what the actual hell is the difference between those 2? are they just 2 branches of the same thing?
Shortsighted because all he sees the is the future
which is ironic
Cult mechanicum no longer exists for political reasons
ofc
He tried to lead humanity from the shadows, it worked until it didn't
careful, telling Imperium hardcore fans the Emperor is just a Man is a big nono
TLDR the adeptus mechanicus succeeds the cult mechanicum because Halbor Kal is the leader of the Cult mechanicum(technically)
it's been not working for longer than it's been working
I am the hardest hardcore imperium fan there is
despite the fact the Cult Mechanicum pretty much devolved into a 4 way civil war
during the horus heresy
but what is the difference between them and the modenr cult mechanicus?
The whole point of the emperor being cool is that he is a fallible man
the adeptus mechanicus
is slightly less independent
but they have a seat in the Imperial senate
which makes them have even more power
its still funny to me that the imperium has a senate and its only like 4 people
also broadly the emperor's stated goal is more or less what the eldar had, a universal spanning empire of psychically awakened enlightened people. this also describes the old ones. in both cases shit went real sour
so the 4 high lords and who?
currrently led by one nonhuman technincally
There's more then 4 high lords
oh
there are permanent positions
ah i see
the rest are off and on
like head of Custodes, and Abbess Sanctorum
Fabricator general
