but yeah now we know they actually partake in combat and stuff

crystal forum
#

next you'll be suggesting people who aren't white

storm jungle
#

NOOOO

crystal forum
#

actually i still can't decide whether sisters of battle were fan service or a genuine effort to put women in 40k

#

from a marketing standpoint it feels cheap as hell but at least writers treat them with respect

near wasp
#

When i get to the point of biulding a stodes army ill include some sisters of silence just for you

storm jungle
#

Both.

#

Having been around when SoB were getting popular they were kinda coomerish but also a good way to get girls ot join the game

#

the problem is 40k as a fanbase is mostly dominated by men

#

because the setting is VERY macho

#

I mean this in a scientific way and less of a bigoted way but you get what I mean, im not smart

crystal forum
#

i like when artists draw them as old or battle scarred women like they should be instead of young and beautiful

queen laurel
#

This is warhammer 40K after all so if a especially isolated human colony has no choice over time they will develop improvements to their own body depending on their environment

storm jungle
#

also that too

#

like even if you are an Arnie sized catachan you can just die from having a face-leech drop from a tree and instantly kill you

#

Catachan is not a good showcase of a darwinistic place because its not fair seeing as EVERYTHING wants you dead lmao

crystal forum
#

so catachanians might be smarter than the average guardsman?

near wasp
#

A battle scarred women can still be beautiful.

crimson kayak
#

varies from Rambo-Predator style physiques up to people like sly marbo being said to be as big as an ork boy

queen laurel
#

But with their posture it can get reduced

crimson kayak
#

not only as tall

Big can sometime mean just tall

Baby ogryns

crystal forum
#

so who's stronger:
ork nob, ogryn or custodes?

#

just in pure physical strength

near wasp
#

Custode

crystal forum
#

you think?

storm jungle
#

WHY DID YOU ASK THEN

crystal forum
#

im not being sarcastic

storm jungle
#

oh

#

then yeah Custodian

crystal forum
#

i didn't expect custodes to be the strongest

storm jungle
#

they are literally genetically engineered to be that way

crystal forum
#

i thought they were just a bit stronger than astartes

storm jungle
#

"a bit" is putting it lightly

near wasp
#

Custodes are like ten space marines xD

storm jungle
#

a custodes is what a space marine is to a guardsman

shadow plover
#

valdor could probably go toe to toe with a primarch for a while

crystal forum
#

arent ork nobs huge though

storm jungle
#

Kinda

#

but like

shadow plover
#

pretty slow too

storm jungle
#

size doesnt matter

#

when your weaponry can kill dreadnaughts

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

im talking pure muscle power here

queen laurel
#

with the war boss being averaged 10 feet

near wasp
#

The first captain general did fight a primarch if i remeber right

shadow plover
#

which one?

queen laurel
#

If we're going by raw physical power alone then I guess I would go with the Ogryn

near wasp
#

Alpharius

crystal forum
shadow plover
crimson kayak
uneven temple
#

In the Alpharius Primarchs novel

#

Valdor fights alpharius

shadow plover
#

ah, haven't listened that one yet

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

holy shit

queen laurel
# crystal forum holy shit

but since war bosses can grow bigger than Ogryns overtime and I'm pretty sure a lot of them are above the weight class of an ogyn

shadow plover
#

an ogryn has Bane snapped a chaos terminator's spine for example

storm jungle
#

They "suffer" from an extreme form of gigantism which has been kinda ingrained into them as a human sub-species

crystal forum
shadow plover
#

yes

storm jungle
#

I mean

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

armor wont protect you when you are that vulnerable

near wasp
#

Ogryns dont fuck around

queen laurel
#

The war boss I mean

storm jungle
#

also another terminator kills the ogryn afterwards

#

but like he still fucks the termie up

crystal forum
#

crushing power armour seems pretty strong

crimson kayak
queen laurel
shadow plover
#

you don't really need to crush anything if you just bend it enough to the wrong way

crystal forum
#

or mutants

storm jungle
#

what the ogryn did is the equilavent of just hitting a knight so hard in the head that their neck snaps from a wrong twist

crimson kayak
queen laurel

#

An ogryn gets scared, wants to hold big hat mans hand. Big hat man needs 7 surgeries and they still can't save the other 4 fingers.

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

and here i thought ogryns were weaker than astartes a couple of weeks ago

queen laurel
#

Physically speaking is pretty much still just a normal ogryn

storm jungle
#

Yeah ogryns are "weak" in intelligence

#

but like

#

thats because the Imperium keeps them dumb

#

ogryns can become super smart

queen laurel
crimson kayak
crystal forum
#

don't they need implants to be smart

storm jungle
#

Nah

crisp heath
#

There was a psyker ogryn. was

storm jungle
#

the implant more or less seems to make them semi-smart while keeping them subservient

#

like uh

#

in darktide

#

the only ogryn with a bonehead implant

#

is the dumbest one

#

lmao

#

the Bodyguard and Bully meanwhile show HIGH intelligence

#

knowing complex english words and such

#

they are just blunt

crisp heath
#

Psyker ogryn was so scary the orks resorted to stealth โœŠ you were a real one

crystal forum
#

so ogryns aren't genetically dumb?

storm jungle
#

Kind of yes and no

#

like i said they are kept dumb

#

its why they are useful and not culled

#

its usually down to the planet's leaders on how they are treated

#

when you keep someone that stupid they'll just do anything you ask them to

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Its why even smart ogryns know when to keep their mouth shut

#

if they get found out as being too smart something bad can happen to them

crystal forum
#

that's way more grimdark than i expected

storm jungle
#

an ogryn otherwise is entirely capable of learning stuff

queen laurel
#

there's no point in being smart in the world where there's a dinosaur that can bite you in half

storm jungle
#

Yeah alas

#

they arent braindead

#

they are like kids

#

they are actively exploited and manipulated

green loom
#

They're simple

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

^

#

Its a big misconception in the fandom

queen laurel
#

That are way too muscular for your own good

storm jungle
#

because you cannot be genetically dumb as an entire species

crystal forum
#

so if ogryns were put through school they'd be able to count and stuff?

queen laurel
#

Their intelligence just basically went to the Stone Age

#

Like they're capable of you know learning but you know they are way too back that we think that they are dumb

storm jungle
#

^

#

Yeah its why i say they are basically kids

#

the Imperium teaches them the bare necessities of their tasks

#

and thats it

crystal forum
#

do they live longer than humans

storm jungle
#

Uh no idea

#

thats never said

near wasp
#

How to have child soldiers without the children

crystal forum
queen laurel
summer rover
#

on average no, there's lots of different sorts of ogryn, but they're all abhumans and generally on the same average for natural lifespan. unless you m ean in the guard then yes, they tend to outlive the normal guardsman

crystal forum
#

ok so i know some orks hire ogryns but do all orks generally love them

storm jungle
#

I'd say "realistically" ogryns might not live too long.

IRL people with gigantism unfortunately tend to die very young, sometimes before they can even reach their 50's

queen laurel
#

They are basically the same

#

Because ogryn are big

near wasp
#

The lifespan of all humans in 40k is kinda shit

queen laurel
#

And they smash stuff

summer rover
crystal forum
summer rover
#

you know what i mean

storm jungle
#

"abhumans" is just a copyright term to not label them as such

near wasp
#

They are mutants we tolerate

storm jungle
#

so basically yes lol

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

^

#

They are mutants basically

#

just useful ones

green loom
#

Always headcanoned that Abhumans were just sanctioned, stable mutant strains

#

Desirable traits and capable of breeding

crystal forum
#

so their adaptations might cause a lot of problems ye

storm jungle
#

Yeee

#

tho i was gonna say

#

in darktide you can see ogryns got their own special bone structures and such

#

so they prob evolved enough to have a stable biology

#

Xenologis also shows that they are adaptable to other mutations like humans

near wasp
#

Psyker ogryn aka a nuclear bomb

storm jungle
#

IRL humans tend to stay in like a "basic" shape so its why people with gigantism just kinda die out

crystal forum
#

i can just imagine how deadly childbirth is for ogryn mothers

storm jungle
#

Lmao

#

also ๐Ÿ’€

#

Oh yeah ogryn psykers are also becoming a thing

#

all thanks to the Rift

#

before then the lore said ogryns psykers could not exist as per said by the Ministorum

summer rover
#

abhumans are stable and capable of stable breeding populations (capable, not actually having them, the admech are silly), genetic mutations like IRL gigantism tend to cause people to die out because they ain't stable.

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

literally McBane

summer rover
#

ogryn psykers are just culled early on because ogryn are not capapble of the sort of focus required for "safe" use of psychic woooblies.

storm jungle
#

We literally dont know anything about psyker ogryns

#

aside from their reveal in the Ghaz book

#

so its hard to say what is done with them

crystal forum
#

can you imagine an alpha+ ogryn

storm jungle
#

Lmao

#

honestly that would be great

#

a smart ogryn is already scary

summer rover
#

that's just an ork.

storm jungle
#

Nah

#

do you even know what an Alpha Grade psyker is

crystal forum
#

he can crush you to paste AND turn you into a pretzel with his mind

shadow plover
#

well the one in Ghaz book was to be excecuted unless the Inquisitor hadn't stepped in right?

storm jungle
#

I THINK so its been awhile

#

i do know it was a female ogryn

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

and got picked from a penal world

storm jungle
#

near the top of the chart

#

like they can put an entire ship's crew to sleep by command for example

summer rover
#

ogryn are very dumb and not creative though, so execution would be the same as orks.

crystal forum
#

yeah i know they're so strong that most die young due to how dangerous unchecked psykers are

shadow plover
#

Ravenor is a massively powerful psyker and iirc even he isn't an alpha grade

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

^

#

Alphas can literally do that yeah lmao

#

like i dont think you can even be one in Dark Heresy

#

because its basically unstoppable power level wise

crystal forum
#

yeah two alpha twins turned a fleet to dust or something right

storm jungle
#

Yeee that

#

now put that in an ogryn whos also intelligent

#

basically Thanos lol

crystal forum
#

what alpha+ psykers are confirmed characters in 40k

storm jungle
#

uhhh let me think

crystal forum
#

except malcador and emp

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

okay yeah its literally just Malc and Big E

#

they can definitely exist in a galaxy this big but i guess nobody just really wrote about them

crystal forum
#

yeah like no main characters ever get that powerful right

#

they'd just be superman

summer rover
#

wouldn't be a good story, sinc they'd be over superman levels.

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

but yeah its also said said above because they'd be ridiculously OP

shadow plover
#

turns out Ravenor is graded as Alpha Plus

storm jungle
#

damn bruh

#

now hes just Professor X

#

toasted ass mfer

shadow plover
#

maybe an exaggeration

crystal forum
#

what about magnus

summer rover
storm jungle
#

this was before he got put in that chair

queen laurel
#

Bro got that Mister house wheel chair

storm jungle
#

he tasted the Grimace Shake

#

๐Ÿ’€

shadow plover
#

the spicy one

#

extra hot

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

poor Mr House

#

he could save the entirety of the Strip if he wanted

#

but not himself...

crystal forum
#

my sister in christ he wants to rule mojave as a dictatorship

storm jungle
#

I WAS MAKING A PREQUEL JOKE

#

SHUT UP

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

so is magnus an alpha+

storm jungle
#

Honestly more or less yeah

#

As a daemon prince hes basically near Big E levels

queen laurel
#

wait isn't Enuncia basically just the words of power in Skyrim?

storm jungle
#

YES

shadow plover
#

but better

storm jungle
#

you can literally erase people from reality using them

#

also wow

#

๐Ÿ’€

crystal forum
#

magic is weird to me in 40k

storm jungle
#

Enuncia is a bit complicated because it was entirely shoved in by Dan Abnett.

crystal forum
#

you can do magic rituals and shit like it's DND

storm jungle
#

Yeah but any magic is just psychic powers

crystal forum
#

what about the rituals though

storm jungle
#

Same thing

#

magic in 40k is just psionics

#

even in darktide the veteran just goes

#

"Dont question it, its all magic"

crystal forum
#

but what powers the rituals

shadow plover
#

warp ooze

queen laurel
# storm jungle YES

Imagine an ork just learns about Enuncia but he only uses it to make a better gun

storm jungle
#

kek

#

also yeah

#

like

#

you setup a ritual

#

either use a psyker as bait or as a summoner

#

or just

#

pray hard and hope daemons hear you

#

you can make it stronger like a wifi network by using sigils, sacrifices and other classic ritual stuff

crystal forum
#

im sorry but i must bring soul drinkers into the conversation again

#

this dude who wants to become a chaos god does rituals that SOUND very nurgle

#

he's all about decay and disease

#

and his shtick is necromancy

#

but he doesn't serve nurgle

#

because he says the chaos gods are jealous of him

storm jungle
#

Its been AWHILE since i read soul drinkers, but thats very much unknowingly serving nurgle and not realising it

#

also just being outright arrogant

#

lmao

#

thats what chaos loves

crystal forum
#

but he knows he can ascend to godhood

#

or at least acts like it

#

and one of the rituals he does is said to be extremely old

storm jungle
#

Yeah nah thats not that easy, even Vashtorr is a warp-broker and hes nowhere near the powers of a god yet.

#

Hes basically presented as being gullible and power hungry

#

and

#

a lot of people worshipping chaos think thye are hot shit

crystal forum
#

so chaos servants might not even know they're serving a god

storm jungle
#

Yep

#

thats how chaos works

crystal forum
#

that's so cool

storm jungle
#

you can sometimes feed them through the most mundane things

#

for example corpse grinder cults in necromunda basically just grew from workers who just kept watching and watching and tossing and tossing people into grinders, hearing their bones and meat crack

#

until it eventually drives them mad

#

and they start worshipping khorne

queen laurel
crimson kayak
crystal forum
#

i just find it interesting that in the entire book nurgle is not mentioned a single time yet this guy's subsector spanning chaos empire is all about disease, eternal disgusting life and rot

storm jungle
#

Yeah old 40k books tended to do that a lot

#

aka not treat the reader as a kid

#

and just put "hints"

#

and let you figure out whats happening

crystal forum
#

so you're saying i'll be extremely disappointed once i start reading other books

#

time to read salamanders

storm jungle
#

DONT DO IT

shadow plover
#

imagine if it had it go something like this: "yeah we do these things because our great great great grandfather Nergle invented this"

storm jungle
#

lmao

#

its funny because that sometimes happens too ๐Ÿ’€

crystal forum
#

it's funny because in the previous book nurgle is mentioned a lot

#

like when soul drinkers assault a nurgle planet

#

and tzeentch is also mentioned but i will not say why

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

and at the end of a book the godspear is finally used in combat and i literally yelled out YEEEEEEESSS

storm jungle
#

luv me old 40k books

crystal forum
#

my first astartes minis will definitely be soul drinkers but their chapter symbol and paint colour is pretty hard to do

#

it's unimaginable to do such geometric shit for me

shadow plover

I scetch them with very thin grey on the model first usually

#

then just work up from there

crystal forum
shadow plover
#

lines first

crystal forum
#

i understand being able to make straight lines on flat paper but on a curved shoulder pad seems impossible

it probably needs a couple sketch lines but it'll come out straight after a few tries

yeah the squares look a lot more symetrical

Don't you just love it when you're looking for ideas to make a new warhammer 40K character then something just suddenly clicked

#

Oh, that depends on the subscription

green loom
#

Yeah my sessions were 6 hours

#

And it's less anti mining and more so everyone gets a rig iirc

crystal forum
#

nah they have more than enough rigs

#

nvidia really hates miners who don't pay a premium

#

which understandable. fuck those guys

crimson kayak
#

Also didn't know you could mine using now lol

crystal forum
#

you can mine with anything

#

you don't have to pay for electricity fees so it would be super cheap to just use now

#

i just hope the future of gaming isn't streaming. it feels like it's inevitable because companies fucking love subscription services

#

oh and i forgot to mention, geforce now even uses nvidia's cards which were designed for mining

#

unless they changed it

crimson kayak
#

It uses 4090's

#

Or well, Atleast the higher subscription does

#

Rest use 3080/90 if I rememeber right

crystal forum
#

then my information is outdated

crimson kayak
crystal forum
#

yeah bandwidth limits thankfully will delay it a lot

#

people who can't afford good PC's generally don't have the best internet either

crimson kayak
#

And also the fact we are reaching the limits of what a graphic card can do when sold in a reasonable size

near wasp
#

Or pcs will just have to be a bit bigger in the future

crystal forum
#

i'm glad we're reaching a limit. we don't need better graphics anymore

#

hopefully a stagnation of graphics technology will force games to not rely on flashy visuals anymore

#

or at least they'll start being creative with it like they used to do in the 2000's

and evil within is resident evil lol

part of the reason i love resident evil is how painfully japanese it is even though it's about americans

idk why people loved evil within 2 so much

it's not bad, just not really good imo

like eveybody kept saying i was a god even though i hadent played the game before lol

classic zombies just makes you really good at training zombies

especially since newer zombies lets you get hit like 6 times before going down and you get heal items too

crimson kayak

Yeah new zombies once you farm a bit attachments and stuff for weapons becomes a cakewalk

but maps are lazy as hell and zombies hit you instantly unlike the animation dependent classics so it's also harder to use movement skill

i kinda liked it even though the box was nearly useless and the wall buys were completely useless

you could just start a match with your favorite gun and upgrade it from there

but cold war is just a DLC for warzone lol

not every character death has to be something you can see from 10 miles away

space marine books seem to often pull names out of nowhere just to immediately die

Dan does it purely to annoy I think as I can't keep track

crystal forum
#

yeah that's a problem i noticed with a lot of 40k books

#

they often treat unnamed soldiers way too weakly so they have to pull names to create the faintest sense of attachment for the reader before killing them

#

it has a lot to do with authors not wanting to kill main characters

#

if the reader gets the impression that the story would still continue after the death of the main character then it adds a ton of suspense

just kill the main character like they do in almost every admech book

Okay... This is how Asha ends up in the employ of Solomon Al'Ismir, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Solomon had been anxiously awaiting the scheduled check-in of a trusted operator, as during the last check the operator mentioned that the Slaanesh Pleasure cult they had been infiltrating had become strangely agitated. Talk of several mid-to-high-ranking cultists suddenly turning up dead in their homes. No sign of how the killer got in, and the death of the cultist was sometimes not noticed for HOURS.

@arctic talon @crimson kayak Had a thought! Limbo and his theorems! The complex mathematics that underpins the Limbo Warframe's Spatial powers! What if, while sharing some of those theorems with the Adeptus Mechanicus, someone else finds the signal, and replies back with more math?

crimson kayak

Consider Limbo's dimension like the Webway

#

And it would be something no human in 40k would be able to recreate for the simple reason it requires the void to work

Unless the imperium build the Zariman II that is

Wich could be funny seeing them throw a black ship into a void fissure or something just to see what happens

I thought of Limbo getting into this whole 'talking through technique' conversation with a certain Necron, Trazyn the Infinite.

Could be a fun interaction having Limbo held in a Tesseract and then just skipping dimensions

Like, Trazyn locks him up, then two minutes later from behind him "so as I was saying"

After all that would depend on Asha's personality

Yes all weapon patterns are mostly produced on the world of its name

the rejects are all pulled from the nearby worlds listed in the character creator, so if you can extract the full map from the game you could tell from that. no idea who to ask for that.

A quick glimpse of the wiki mentions that it borders disputed wilderness space (and mentions the Mobeian regiments fighting both xenos AND chaos) called the 'Fringe,' which may or may not be related to the Eastern Fringe? but i guess otherwise confirms Moebian Domain is bordering one corner of the map near the scar.

No fringe it's because it's the domain's border

Ench why they are called Fringe Worlds and fringe wars

it doesnt own the galaxy more or less lays claim to it because space-nazis
