Look at the howling Grypphons

Literally knightly and reasonable ultramarines

#

Hey guys russthewolfhowler2947 here and I'm about to explain how a single space wolf can take on the whole of the Tyrannic wars

celest dome
#

You mean Zerokewl ?

crimson kayak
#

Lol

plush mason

#

Having seen Zerokewl before, none

#

I got decensitized to it

plush mason
#

fair

crimson kayak
#

Like, my favorite chapter has been unironically the alpha legion, my brain already self destructed

plush mason
#

oh yeah it's long

arctic talon
#

I think it’s funny how the alpha legion while doing the I am Alpharius

#

Also hates doing it

#

Because it gets confusing as fuck

#

Because everyone says they’re Alpharius

near wasp
#

My friend 1 is not in the discord and 2 are not the same level of obsessed as zerokewl

crimson kayak
#

The enemy can't know what you are doing if you don't know either

viral halo
#

Yea I like when John grammaticus tells them to shut up

#

And they're like how can you tell we're not all alpharius

#

and he goes you all look different

storm jungle
#

Yeah or ill kill them

arctic talon
#

Tbh the legionaries in one of the book

#

Also make fun of a guy

#

Who says He is Alpharius

near wasp
#

Please do not murder the only person who will likely ever play the table top with me

storm jungle
crimson kayak
#

Lol

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Playing against space wolfs is just making sure you can screen properly

#

They don’t have any tricks like blood angels to get around it

near wasp
#

I plan on having a necron army

arctic talon
#

Ah yes

#

Tar pit time

#

Necron tar pits(hell)

near wasp
#

Maybe ill have csm at some point but idk

crimson kayak
#

I was thinking of making a warp ghosts csm kill team

#

Sadly can't think of any conversion or what to show the "futuristic" look they should have

arctic talon
#

Try using primaris bits

#

If you have them

#

Since they have “cleaner” guns

#

Or more futuristic looking ones

near wasp
#

Id prolly make a mixed warband or a plague marine kill team

viral halo
#

blanche just retired

#

RIP the GOAT warhammer artist

storm jungle
#

I mean he was pretty old

arctic talon
#

I thought he had already retired ngl

#

But he’s old, it’s good to retire instead of working yourself to death

storm jungle
#

^

#

Also its not like he was working as actively with Warhammer in any scope anymore

near wasp
#

Doesnt seem very only in death does duty end of him but i digress

celest dome
storm jungle
#

💀

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

Damn I had no idea

arctic talon
#

His last big contribution miniwise(that we know about) were the bladeguard veterans and the new primaris lt.

storm jungle
#

Yeah hes not been as active anymore hence why i wasnt that surprised he chose to retire as it is.

coarse pumice
storm jungle
#

a good image of the darktide discord

crimson kayak
coarse pumice
#

it's a Blance I found

#

hearing he's retiring

crimson kayak
#

She's fatter

storm jungle
#

Damn it

green loom
#

I made something pretty thumbsup_ogryn

plush mason
#

i really like that

tropic olive
#

Could someone please provide an explanation of the Penitent Crusade?

plush mason
#

"you all fucked up but we cant afford to just kill you all so go into exile and kill shit for a while and we will forgive you"

#

thats the gist of them

#

its basically a way to punish space marines or even whole chapters of them without just executing them

orchid lark
#

Die on your sword

upbeat dagger
#

what sorts of power armor exist than unmodified humans can wear? need it for a Dark Heresy game I plan on running
some specific criteria:
1: provides some warp resistance. This'd be used against a power psyker
2: a radical ordo malleus inquisitor would have access to it
3 (not required); would like it to be able to believably resist the vaccuum of space for a moment

plush mason
#

a radical ordo malleus inquisitor could easily get power armor with some "questionable" tech in it to resist the warp

#

so long as they are in good standing with something like the xenorites of the admech

upbeat dagger
#

for some further context, this inquisitor is specifically assigned to watch over a dangerous psyker who's been assigned to be rogue trader because he's too valuable to kill but too dangerous to keep around. This inquisitor would likely have at least 1 set of power armor specifically requisitioned to counter said psyker if shit hits the fan

#

and im wondering what sorts of armor would fit that roll

plush mason
orchid lark
#

I mean, they can inscribe runes and have seals on it

#

Like you can make it believable

plush mason
#

like an inquisitor with enough pull can have a full on suit of terminator armor made for them

upbeat dagger
#

what would be a good base to work off then?

upbeat dagger
orchid lark
#

Typically space marine power armour is sealed off but again no one is gonna bat an eye to inquisitors having termie armour either

plush mason
orchid lark
#

Yeah

#

It looks weird

#

But its a thing

plush mason
#

yes

upbeat dagger
#

how would that work? if its almost too heavy for fucken astartes

orchid lark
#

Its powered armour

#

The servos are moving it too

plush mason
#

^

upbeat dagger
#

so it'd fucking suck but a human could technically wear it

orchid lark
#

Yeah

plush mason
#

here she is

upbeat dagger
#

oh ok

orchid lark
#

Space Marines Black Carapace make it seem they can move around naturally and quick

#

Normal humans dont have that so it looks like they’re just moving normal armour

plush mason
#

ok. that spear looks like an eldar spear

orchid lark
#

Its just an interfacing

#

Nah

#

Just a force speae

plush mason
#

so she is a psyker too?

orchid lark
#

Probably

#

Dont know actually

#

Whats her name anyway

plush mason
#

i loved this guy's armor

orchid lark
#

Drogan

#

Good ole chap

plush mason
#

yeah

#

here is some fandom wiki art for the ordo malleus

orchid lark
#

Thing is there probably human sized termie armour

#

Dont know why they put her in a massive one

plush mason
plush mason
tropic olive
plush mason
#

yeah

#

her story is she hates the space marines and thinks they are all traitors

#

so she wants to kill them all and replace them

tropic olive
plush mason
#

i, doubt it highly

tropic olive
#

I watched a video about the Grey Knights, and they seem incredibly powerful

plush mason
#

even with a terminator suit she is still only human and no match for an actual space marine

tropic olive
#

okk

plush mason
#

a lot of their lore can be cringy sadly

#

even by 40k standards

orchid lark
#

Grey Knights are cool but they suffered a bit from, WE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST writing for a bit in one of their codexes

plush mason
#

and the whole "the guardsmen saw us! quick kill the whole regiment" stuff

#

they just end up going into the grimderp side of things a bit too often

#

still a cool chapter and the best looking space marines in 40k imo

#

glaives and wrist bolters and the best SM helmets ever made by GW? im all game

odd palm
#

Yeah they are incredibly powerful by astartes standards.
But it depends on the edition and writer.

They either mop the floor with everything or get shown up some regular simply to display how powerful ‘x’ character is

plush mason
#

the later is sadly the fate of many of the smaller yet very cool factions of 40k

#

afaik there was a time when that was basically the whole reason the Avatar of Khaine existed

#

which part of me hopes is just a meme but i doubt it

odd palm
#

Yeah Avatar’s, Greater Daemons….come to mind

plush mason
#

yeah

odd palm
#

I should probably read through their codex, instead of listening to summary vids on the GK. But for all their fortitude and psychic ability, I feel like they should be more effective at times than they are.

plush mason
#

yeah but ofc that is how it works. the given faction is as strong or as weak as the current story's plot needs them to be

odd palm
#

Also for Ordo Malleus, I would have expected them to have perhaps one or two more astartes chapters for their chamber militant or a much, much larger GK chapter

summer rover
#

they can recruit other chapters to aid them where needed.

#

like you barely need to ask some chapters

#

like really, you can have an inquisitor call up the space wolves and mention going to kill daemons and half the chapter is already in their office wit bjorn already explaining why they MUST be part of it.

orchid lark
#

there are the exorcists and Red Hunters

#

Red Hunters works with any ordos tho

odd palm
#

Oh yeah, no I get that Inquisitors can call up whoever they want. But I mean having a larger pool of exceptionally specialised, daemon killing marines would be pre handy

orchid lark
#

the Exorcists

#

theyre so good at daemon killing

#

they cant be seen by daemons

#

because you know

#

they exorcised a daemon out of themselves

plush mason
#

like a lot lot harder

#

so while im sure they would love to have more its not something they can really do

odd palm
#

They seems to adhere to the codex limit which seems odd considering they’re a secret chapter no one really knows save inquisitors, high lords and whoever else is deemed need to know.

I’m sure with enough will, they can find enough candidates and resources to increase their numbers.

As the need for GKs is more dire since the rift

shadow plover
#

GK are pretty cool but their models are very dated plus the baby carrier isn't doing them any favours

orchid lark
#

the baby carrier is great when it looks like their art

#

as a table top model

#

nope

#

same with paragon suits

arctic talon
#

Scouts don’t count to the 1000 marine rule

plush mason
#

is the 1k still in effect?

#

you would think Gilliman would have removed it given the current state of things

orchid lark
#

I dont think its a bad limit

#

It should be kept

#

But Guilliman should be spearheading developments and better response methods of Guards and Navy

#

Primarchs should take back the center stage and use the leverage of being the Omnissiahs Progeny to make shit again in forgeworlds

#

Like in some cases for 30k

#

Where they just improved or modified some tanks to be better or do shit specifically

#

That said his Battlefleet plans with sub battlegroups in fleets

#

The logisticarums

#

The fact that a battlegroup leader has the right to go

#

This is now a fortress world

#

When hunkering for a campaign

#

Like there’s interesting shit going on

#

That I feel like the community isnt fully utilising for their own little stories

arctic talon
celest dome

It never really was

Astral claws ?

green loom
#

After looking into it

#

The codex was barely enforced

#

If you gave no reason for the imperium to kill you, they just didn't bother you even if you passed the limit

#

Though even with the limit

tropic olive
green loom
#

You'd need the geneseed and recruits

#

Neither of which are particularly plentiful

crimson kayak
#

He withhold all tithes of the babab sector and then outright went for seccession after blowing up three different fleets trying to get their thite back

green loom
#

Took a lot to actually start that war lmao

crimson kayak
#

Yeah, it's funny cause the imperium was actually chill about the whole "Tyrant of Babab" thing at the start

green loom
#

Also both the Space Wolves and Flesh Tearers have committed fuck tons of open treason

#

And they're still allowed to exist

green loom
crimson kayak
#

More or less yeah

green loom
#

Looking into it has allowed me to reee at people who spout stuff about the Black Templars loophole thing whatthefuck_heresy

crimson kayak
#

Black templars loophole thing is just cause no one at gw could decide their size and so went literally for "How many we need is how many there is"

green loom
#

Pretty much

tropic olive
green loom
#

But people tend to use it as an excuse to have like 5k marines for no reason despite it being a logistical night are and waste of resources KEKW_ogryn

green loom
tropic olive
green loom
#

The tithe fuels fuels the imperial war machine, but also eats away at the stocks of worlds to keep them in check

arctic talon
#

Chapters have to pay a tithe of gene seed

#

So the imperium can make more gene seed + test it

#

Outside of that marines are tax exempt

tropic olive
arctic talon
#

Marine recruitment worlds are also tax exempt(technically)

green loom
#

I figure that's case by case

arctic talon
#

Yeah

celest dome
arctic talon
#

Yeah

green loom
#

Also I'm gonna be drawing some designs for my regiment in a minute

coarse pumice
crimson kayak
#

So technically they were doing their job until Huron bitched that the high lords didn't want him to have his crusade throughout the sector

#

And stopped paying any kind of thite

#

(and even then the war escalated only because the neighbor sector of Babab was suffering economically due to babab's isolation)

#

And well, three fleets "disappearing"

crimson kayak
celest dome
#

I think it's from one of the Undead Skeleton kit

crimson kayak
tropic olive

#

Nearly all conflict in 40k could have been avoided

crimson kayak
tropic olive
crimson kayak
#

"the high lords of terra didn't want to give me the resources for a crusade outside of the area I'm supposed to work in, guess we are too good for them then"

#

Also yeah, it's actually the mantis warriors fault for starting the war itself, as they were the first to shoot other loyalist astartes

tropic olive
crimson kayak
#

Complicated

green loom
#

Guilliman is technically above them

#

But Guilliman is also busy with, you know

crimson kayak
#

Everything

green loom
#

Putting out the fire

#

So the high lords more or less do their own thing

#

It's easier since the ones loyal to Guilliman killed the ones that weren't

crimson kayak
#

Like, remember that guilliman started a secret Inquisitorial civil war for changing the calendar, anything regarding imperial politics is too complex to be understandable

tropic olive
#

Emperor

Guilliman

Custodes

High lords ?

crimson kayak
#

More or less

green loom
#

Custodes are outside the Adeptus Terra

#

Sort of

crimson kayak
#

Custodes do whatever they want most of the time

#

They got the Big E Pass

plush mason
#

isnt the captain-general a highlord?

crimson kayak
#

I remember one being a high lord, can't remember if its a fixed positoon

green loom
#

He is but they aren't exactly beholden to the rest

plush mason
#

also does anyone else find the captain-general title a little strange?

crimson kayak
#

??

celest dome
#

Not really

crimson kayak
#

Due to title or like, the actual role he has?

plush mason
#

due to the title itself

crimson kayak
#

Eh not really

plush mason
#

how is he a captain and a general at the same time

crimson kayak
#

Semantics

green loom
#

He's not a captain and a general

crimson kayak
#

Here in Italy many military roles use multiple rank together

green loom
#

He's a Captain General

gloomy citrus
#

Captain of the palace guard.
General of the Custodes.

green loom
plush mason
#

ah

celest dome
tropic olive
#

In france we say Maréchal

gloomy citrus
# green loom

Captain General Czarniecki doesn't sound that cool.

green loom
#

Idk I think Captain General sounds pretty badass

crimson kayak
#

Also we literally have the Brigadier Commander jacket in game

green loom
#

Followed closely by any flavour of "Castelllan" and most navy ranks

plush mason
crimson kayak
#

Brigadier and brigadier commander are two different but equivalent ranks

#

Oh no wait

#

It's brigadier general in rl

plush mason
#

yes

crimson kayak
#

(also brig command is the most loose cannon cosmetic ever considering its literally stolen)

plush mason
#

also commander is both a rank and just a job

green loom
#

More like, appropriated thumbsup_ogryn

plush mason
#

like for the US commander is a rank in the navy and just a job position in the army lol

upbeat dagger
#

i still don't get how a regular human is able to wear armor that even astartes find difficult

green loom
#

What armor is that

upbeat dagger
#

terminator armor

green loom
#

Because you're not holding it on your shoulders lol

#

It's an exo skeleton

upbeat dagger
#

ah ok

green loom
#

More or less a vehicle

arctic talon
#

It’s just clunky

green loom
#

Especially compared to regular marine armor that's relatively dextrous

upbeat dagger
#

also, for if i hopefully do end up getting to run a dark heresy game- what would a detachment of grey knights look like in combat? i'm gonna be trying to keep most astartes relegated to the near mythical status they seem to have in some lore

#

esp higher end ones like GK

arctic talon
#

Incredibly fast

green loom
#

Very shiny

#

Because psyker bs

arctic talon
#

Lots of psychic stuff

#

And melee

green loom
#

Lots of lightning effects flying around

upbeat dagger
#

and what's their main method of banishing/dealing with daemons?

arctic talon
#

Also they can straight up teleport

green loom
#

Stabbing them, to death

arctic talon
#

Greater, lesser

#

Something inbetween

#

Anything below a greater they’re gona chop it up and use psychic powers

upbeat dagger
#

hm
would a powerful psyker realistically be able to summon a greater daemon if it tried

#

like if a psyker willingly gave into the warp

green loom
#

Prolly not

#

At least

#

Not on a whim

arctic talon
#

Greater daemons need a pretty big ritual

#

99% of the time

upbeat dagger
#

actually can i get some clarification on the "classes" of daemons

green loom
#

You have lesser daemons, greater daemons, and daemon princes/Primarchs

shadow plover
#

Khayon has a tarot card deck on which he has bound plenty of daemons to the cards within. Some of those are of greater status iirc which he can unleash on a whim

arctic talon
#

Greater daemons are things like keeper of secrets, bloodthirsters, great unclean ones, lord of change

upbeat dagger
#

specific scenario is that after the party defeats the main villain i have planned (that being a very powerful psyker) the psyker pulls a final fuck you and willingly lets himself be consumed by the warp, trying to pull a daemon into realspace to kill the acolytes

arctic talon
#

He doesn’t count

shadow plover
#

Well yes but we were asked if a strong psyker could do it 😄

green loom
upbeat dagger
#

which would quickly turn into Objective: Survive until help can arrive (the location in mind would likely have GK on speed-dial)

green loom
arctic talon
#

^

orchid lark
#

You dont summon greater daemons they tell you to summon them

green loom
#

Yes

#

Make it tempt him throughout the campaign then have him agree at the end

#

Desperate bid and all that

upbeat dagger
#

oh so, actually this is the same campaign i've talked in here about before, the major concept being that the party's working under both a psyker rogue trader (his bit being that he's too powerful and volatile to be kept around major imperium, but too useful to kill- therefore he was cut a deal where he gets to be a rogue trader so long as he has an inquisitor breathing down his neck) and the inquisitor watching that rogue trader. my intent is to hopefully have the psyker become a villain over the course of the campaign, descending into utter madness, his head filled with delusions of grandeur, likely by daemons

green loom
#

Him being a powerful psyker would likely help attract said daemons also

upbeat dagger
#

a good example of 'delusions of grandeur' in the pinnacle of his insanity (shortly before his death), he claims his goal is to "tear down the lighthouse and remake it in his own image"

#

tho that'd come to the surface like, at the point where the party's already either fighting or about to fight him

celest dome
#

@upbeat dagger From top to bottom
Daemon Primarch (40k exclusive)

upbeat dagger
#

ok what is the most likely greater daemon that a group of 3-5 acolytes could survive more than 10 seconds against

celest dome
#

Khorne I'd say

upbeat dagger
#

aren't khorne daemons not really about manipulating tho

arctic talon
#

Bloodthirster

#

They still manipulate

#

They want to get out of work

upbeat dagger
#

ah ok

arctic talon
#

Coming to the real world

#

Is vacation for daemons

green loom
#

Khorne daemons are blunt, not honourable, they'll readily deceive you

upbeat dagger
#

i commonly hear khorne daemons described as "they won't stab you in the back, they'll stab you in the face significantly harder"

green loom
#

Yeah they'll also stab you in the back though

upbeat dagger
#

and then laugh at you for turning your back

arctic talon
#

You turned around

#

Bcs they threw a rock behind you

#

Now die

green loom
#

Wym my wholesome 100 morally gray entities of pure malignant evil aren't nice???

upbeat dagger
#

also i want to know if this chain of events seems reasonable

#

a bit of context for the scenario, this'd be towards the end of the first major arc, where the party's alr found out abt the psyker being completely insane

#

1st off, the inquisitor bombarding the psyker's ship so that the acolytes have a chance to not have their brain instantly splattered, and the psyker is forced to focus his power on keeping the ship together

bright anvil
#

Is there any mention of why the emperor on his throne has a cybernetic eye

upbeat dagger
#

when they go to eventually take out said psyker

bright anvil
#

Like who made the call to scoop it out

upbeat dagger
#

2: inquisitor arrives in some heavily modified termie armor so the acolytes can escape (along with everyone else on the psyker's ship).
Fight goes south fast, results in the inquisitor just barely escaping before the psyker blasts what remains of his ship into the warp unprotected, and the inquizi is kept alive by her armor long enough for rescue to be possible

#

oh who would an inquisitor answer to

#

like say an inquisitor fucks up who do they have to talk to

green loom
#

Usually inquisitors are part of larger groups and they can call meetings

#

If not though they don't answer to anyone

#

They're not bound to the adeptus terra, no other inquisitors really have authority over them either

#

So if they fuck up they either fix it or someone maybe eventually finds out and kills them

upbeat dagger
#

isn't there still somewhat of a hierarchy within inquisitors?

celest dome
green loom
#

There's some that the inquisitors form themselves

#

Conclaves and warbands

#

Networks

#

Ordos

upbeat dagger
#

also aren't inquisitors technically unquestionable

celest dome
#

There are informal hierarchy where they are brought up by other Inquisitor, so they have some sort of Hierearchy but it's not really hard coded

green loom
#

But it's very very very very very decentralized

green loom
celest dome
green loom
#

Or

#

Being reasonable

#

Or

#

Reasonably powerful

#

If you can't order a hive dreg around you won't order any officials around etc.

#

It's both presentation and actual strength

storm jungle
#

All Inquisitors are down to their own agendas, they arent a single coherent organisation, all of them mostly belong to a "conclave" where they hang out with other inquisitors whose ideals might match theirs or go fully lone wolf

#

These conclaves get to have Inquisitor Lords/Grandmasters who are sometimes in charge of entire sectors/systems in return.

#

But basically Inquisitors within their "workspace" will only bow to other Inqs who are much more gigachad than them

#

aka having a larger retinue, supplies, equipment, ships etc

My life for tor yvresse

those are sub-ordos

Malleus, Xenos and Hereticus are the top main 3

tropic olive
#

I see

#

Thanks

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Yep

#

the representative is the one that talks with the high lords on behalf of the entirety of the Inquisition

#

its a super important role and anyone can be picked for it

plush mason
storm jungle
#

the selection progress is explained in detail here

plush mason
#

also. what exactly is an inquisitor practical?

storm jungle
#

That I don't know since my friend made this and hes a big RPG nut lul

#

probably something from Dark Heresy

celest dome
#

What is a practical ?

storm jungle
#

Read above

plush mason
#

so not all interrogators become inquisitors

tropic olive
#

By the way, in Darktide, do the prisoners work for the Ordo Hereticus or Malleus?

storm jungle
#

Hereticus

plush mason
#

hereticus

tropic olive
#

Okk

storm jungle
#

you gotta be cool enough to be approved by like 3-4 Inquisitors to become an Inquisitor

#

its why most interrogators are very cocky or hotheaded

plush mason
#

so most just end up following the other paths

#

or dead

storm jungle
#

Yeah lmao

#

Being in the Inquisition is an incredibly thankless job

plush mason
#

yes

#

i wonder where the rejects fall in this chart

#

i guess templar inquisitii?

storm jungle
#

Uhh not quite

#

1 sec

#

We are here

#

Acolytes

plush mason
#

ah

storm jungle
#

because we have taken the Hereticus Oath and are considered mostly an elite bunch

#

mix of henchmen and that KEKW_ogryn

celest dome
#

Zolla is an Interogattor or is it Rannick ?

storm jungle
#

Zola is an explicator

#

Rannick is the Interrogator

#

so hes being groomed to become an Inquisitor one day

celest dome
#

I suppose Melk and Morrow are Throne Agent ?

plush mason
storm jungle
#

basically Inquisition retinue roles can be made up on the spot

#

mostly for RPG purposes for when you are playing with friends

#

like say I can dub Cacti the Lore Informator because he knows a lot of lore

plush mason
storm jungle
#

and everyone in the retinue will recognize him as such

storm jungle
celest dome
storm jungle
#

first steps to become one but still starting on it

celest dome
#

But also an acolyte types

#

iirc

storm jungle
#

Yep

#

like i said ranks are flexible

#

theres a few "pre-set" ones

plush mason
#

i keep forgetting this whole side of 40k exists purely due to an rpg game lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah lmao

#

its why all those middle ranks are in the same category

#

as an Inquisitor you cna literally make up a rank for your agent on the spot, like i said above theres only a few pre-set ranks in there

#

but the Rejects once thye reach Level 30 are official agents of the throne, hence why you get a inquisitorial rosette necklace and such

orchid lark
#

The important tramp stamp

storm jungle

💀

plush mason

#

I bet the loose cannon vet tried to strangle somebody to death with their rossette over a game of regicide

again it largely depends on the story you are trying to tell

You can have a rosette of any kind

just gotta find the right contact

storm jungle
#

We love em

#

Also alas yeah they suffer from the fact that most of their members are psychopaths or idiots

near wasp
#

Most of the people in the imperium are psychos or idiots

#

Just in general

storm jungle
#

Reminds me of this discord honestly

orchid lark
#

I am normal.

plush mason
#

well this discord is full of 40k fans so there is that, plus its discord which is a form of social media which is always full of psychos and idiots

orchid lark
#

the discord kittens

#

theyre unionizing

tropic olive
#

Do you have any names of righteous and non-psychopathic Inquisitors with a remarkable backstory? I would love to learn more

orchid lark
#

Amberley Vail

Ravenor is more normal id say

tropic olive

#

and ofc the OG. Obi Wan Sherlock lol

celest dome
#

Eisenhorn, at the start ?

orchid lark
#

Ciaphas Cain series is a good Imperial Guard story too

#

An interesting other side of Commissars

plush mason
celest dome

Highly possible than one was inspired of the other

plush mason

Drogan left Eisenhorn right

plush mason
storm jungle
#

lmao forgot about that one

plush mason
#

ngl im glad darktide's deamonhosts dont look like this

orchid lark
#

not yet

crimson kayak
plush mason
#

oh

#

i was unaware there are specific kinds

crimson kayak
#

Oh I don't mean like, officially

#

But that one it's basically This close to just becoming a daemon/chaos spawn

#

Like, for example cherubael here, he's the most "standard" form of daemonhost you can find, obviously chaos ones are more mutated as they are not constantly chained

#

When you start resembling more a flesh blob with tentacles than a human the "host" part is basically gone by that point

pulsar veldt
#

so i want to say ive been playing in rogue trader game as a kill space marine librarian of the charcharadon chapter

#

is there any real lore i need to pay close attention to with them, or is it mostly standard space marine stuffs

crimson kayak
#

Just read up their lexicanum page

#

You should get most important info for them

pulsar veldt
#

the way they joined the party was through a warp peril sending them to macragg without most of their gear

#

since the party had recently landed there for supplies and repairs

crimson kayak
#

But tl:Dr carcharadons are basically loyalist night lords with more chainsaws and brutality and less torture

pulsar veldt
#

ah ok

#

i just really iked tyberos' aestechic tbh

#

and the space sharks are just a faction i found fun to play in the war game so i transfered my cheif librarian into a playercharacter in that game

orchid lark
#

And are maori

crimson kayak
#

Oh yeah

#

Also that

pulsar veldt
#

oh near

orchid lark
#

Raven Guard and their dubious

pulsar veldt
#

space maori

orchid lark
#

Native Americanisms

#

Its the reason why my friend chose to be a RG successor

pulsar veldt
#

all im gonna say is that under his armor hes covered in tats lol

orchid lark
#

Specific te paka

pulsar veldt
#

hes also a lightskin lel

orchid lark
#

Well

#

Corax’s sons are all paper white skinned

pulsar veldt
#

well greyskin but still

#

lighter then most charcharadon

orchid lark
#

bone white skin and black sclera eyes

#

thats the raven guard and successors (space sharks kinda) way

pulsar veldt
#

yup

#

first time he took off his helmet around the psyckers they begged him to put it back o cause of his eyes lol

#

cause TTS moxed with GE

#

*gw

crimson kayak
#

Tbf could even just be local superstition or shit lol

pulsar veldt
#

i mean the commander of the kill marines is a fuckin blood angel lol

orchid lark
#

death watch?

#

the Kill Marines

pulsar veldt
#

rogue trader with DW conversions

orchid lark
#

Deathwatch Killteams

#

i was just confused

pulsar veldt
#

yea basically to keep em out of hot water the marines on the vessel are registered as solo kill marines and kill teams

crimson kayak
#

What hot water?

#

It shouldn't be a problem for marines to accompany rogue traders

pulsar veldt
#

this is TTS emperor my guy

storm jungle
#

who

pulsar veldt
#

for the rogue trader game we are usign amix of official and emperor with a TTS device lore

storm jungle
#

aight

#

imma head out

orchid lark
#

i forget dilara hates tts emperor lore more than me

green loom
#

I remember this one time I joined a roleplay with random empires, and one of them was following TTS Imperium lore, and had Emps in a cartoony mech suit

pulsar veldt
#

like nah

crimson kayak
#

Its also been a fuckton of time since I last saw it

pulsar veldt
#

we also ran aground with orcs and demons so we needed the extra firepower

storm jungle
#

because it started off cringe before Alfa and Co. started putting actual effort into it

orchid lark
#

oh yeah we hate that, we dont hate the lore videos

storm jungle
#

Yeee the series itself is fine

orchid lark
#

you heard it here first folks, me and dilara WILL block you

pulsar veldt
#

we dont follow the goofy cringe shit

orchid lark
#

so thats like what

#

1% of the tts stuff?

pulsar veldt
#

for the most part, there have been times its been said as jokes between crew members and stuff

crimson kayak
orchid lark
#

also ill say this, as much as im not a fan of tts

#

its not cringy

#

never was

pulsar veldt
#

like we are like the age of the orc seige on ultramar planets

orchid lark
storm jungle
orchid lark
#

it never was meant to be taken seriously, so it never was cringy

near wasp
#

I came into the fandom from tts but ive outgrown it

pulsar veldt
#

and all this started cause i wanted to ask for help with making my spooce shark more lore abident

crimson kayak
#

Lol

orchid lark
#

since theres like two authors writing for them

#

unheard of!

#

usually one person is in charge of a chapter

#

typically

pulsar veldt
#

mainly cause the dude jsut joined up with the vessel cause of the fact he got warp gated to ultramar by a warp peril

orchid lark
#

warp gated

#

with no protection

pulsar veldt
#

well he had protection

orchid lark
#

the protocol is clear

pulsar veldt
#

in the form of his armor

green loom
#

Adam you wanna hear something funny

pulsar veldt
#

which litterally burned up and forced him to requistion new armor from macrag

storm jungle

I saw people explaining why the big evil gods aren't actually evil, like how some people try to do with the big 4/imperium

It was funny

orchid lark

oh the uh

#

DAedra?

green loom
#

Yes

2 in particular

storm jungle
#

Daedra?

pulsar veldt
#

the planet capital of ultramar

storm jungle
#

the same demons that say they will sexually assault your corpse once they kill you?

crimson kayak
#

Yes

orchid lark
#

look

#

some people are just delusional

storm jungle
#

To be fair

orchid lark
#

because their identity is tied to the thing they love

storm jungle
#

some Daedra are very chill homies

#

shout out to my gamer girl azura

Daedra apologist

#

get out

green loom
storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

LITERALLY THE WORST ONES

orchid lark
#

theyre werent bad to me

storm jungle
#

Like some Daedra are legit not that bad but Molag Bal is literally just khorne

orchid lark
#

so maybe theyre okay

#

the mindset that ruins communities

crimson kayak
#

Lol, and it's funny cause while bad, most daedra in fact are actually just very chill unless plot demands

#

And they obviously choose fucking Satan 1 and Satan 2

storm jungle
#

YES

#

LMAO

green loom
#

Yeah I was looking into a thread about the vigilants since I'm larping as one and it was like reading about 40k people complaining about the Inquisition KEKW_ogryn the daedra apologists were in the same thread

#

I wonder why people distrust them

orchid lark
#

look there are people who think Vriska was not bad

storm jungle
#

Hmmm

#

a mystery

orchid lark
#

some people who think Catra was fine for committing mass genocide

#

George Carlin said

#

think of the most average person you know

half the world is dumber than that person

crimson kayak

#

Now idk how evil Vigilants actually are but the drip is worth it and the ones in game seem nice so thumbsup_ogryn

crimson kayak
#

Vigilants are good?

orchid lark
#

Batman is good

Yeah Batman isn't also a devout follower of the God of Mercy, Justice, Luck and Charity

green loom
orchid lark
#

hes a descendant of the bat tribe

crimson kayak
green loom
#

From what I can tell it doesn't seem to be all encompasing since they don't go around lynching Dark Elves/Orcs

#

But yes quite the funny thread I found

crimson kayak
#

That's cause they are more against literal daedra shit as they were founded post crisis

#

So you know, after the legions of hell got on earth

#

Literal in game dialogue

#

Basically a mix of the Inquisition and Brotherhood of Steel, except they hoard daedric stuff instead of tech

green loom
#

I c

pulsar veldt

wanna know i think could be neat to see in dark tide if we get another archetype

#

Tau bois

Aren't we like, on the other side of the galaxy from them

itd be neat tho

Plus veteran already covers the ranged focus archetype pretty neatly

  • Xenos -> Not really found in the Penal System
  • Ranged focused-> Veteran's theme

also Samurai with the Ten Rings

they are humanity desired

as in thats what they strive to be is less of monsters or warriors

but also focused disciplined artists

which is like White Scars

who have a focus on their poetry

plush mason
#

many of history's greatest warrior casts where also their culture's greatest artisans and innovators lol

orchid lark

some space marine fans always forget that

no flavour

Also because Italy during the Renaissance outside of arts and such was a shitshow of small kingdoms shitting on each other

except Black Templar

They ate too many crayons

its why i always ask when people make their space marine chapter

Since Boltgun was recieved so well, do you think that another retro-styled Warhammer game could come to life? I got this idea of a game based on some old Metal Gear game where you play as a Raven Guard.

# arctic talon Yes

How does the government of worlds similar to ours react when they see a flying church arriving from space lol

arctic talon

Since they're part of the imperium

the government is chosen

by the imperium

Okk

Or has heavy heavy influence from them

In super primative worlds the planetary govener isn't even a native

If it was a spy thing, Alpha Legion would be more fitting.

also corax designed quieter armour

Aren't Eversor assassins considered one man armies?

its why their death has a suicide-bomb feature

Their suspected fatality rate is pretty high too

The point of the eversor is that at best you have a gore tornado and at worse a nuke goes off and takes everyone out with him

It's funny cause it's one of the times the inquisition has acted the shittiest they could, literally holding a grudge for so long they went and sent an assassin though warp storms and chaos blockades to kill the chapter master at the time the sector needed him the most lol

Definitely not there best moment

Also literally sent the assassin into the unknown just for the chance he was still alive after losing contact with the imperium
