#

is it a lot of people? No

#

but the character are unique

green loom
#

Unique dialogue, but all voiced by the same 4 people KEKW_ogryn

queen laurel
#

The models you know the special effects look amazing but holy crap the gameplay is not even there

storm jungle
#

theres a reason we have memes about Nazeem to this DAY

shadow plover
#

Yeah and half of the dudes have the same voice actor

green loom
#

Like how the two rival clans in Whiterun are both lead by a guy voiced by the same old man

vast heart
#

Yeah I think you're being extremely generous calling the characters unique lol but I see what you're saying

queen laurel
#

I'm looking at you cloud district man

storm jungle
#

You guys dont kill the kid NPCs?

#

I mean uhhh

vast heart
#

I compare skyrim to the witcher and I strongly doubt I'll ever play skyrim again

storm jungle
#

OOF

green loom
#

My PC doesn't like mods so I can't install it

queen laurel
pine wedge
storm jungle
#

Witcher 3 is just peak in that regard

green loom
queen laurel
#

depends really

storm jungle
shadow plover
#

Skyrim is like the saying wide as an ocean, deep as a pond

pine wedge
#

witcher 3 and skyrim don't even exist in the same genre

storm jungle
#

also this

#

Witcher 3 is like

#

a saga almost

#

its one of the best fantasy gaves ive ever played

queen laurel
#

Everyone is really beating up dilara huh

green loom
#

Yeah one sucks to play but has a great story, the other sucks to play and has a garbage story

storm jungle
#

WHAT

#

💀

celest dome
#

We are ?

queen laurel
#

Man how am I supposed to rewatch gargoyles if the *** **** website is way too slow

green loom
#

Now starcraft, there's a game with a great story clueless

vast heart
#

Also massive topic change anyone here have warhammer+?

#

Are the animations any good?

pine wedge
#

Skyrim is really simple and accessible, which is also why it's massively succesful. the gameplay doesn't have a lot of meat on its bones to keep goopy goblin gamer brains occupied but it's not bad just because it's easy.

storm jungle
green loom
vast heart
#

Considering gettting for a month to binge watch shows but I've heard mixed reviews

shadow plover
storm jungle
#

Yeah its hit and miss

green loom
#

Blacktalon is worth it

#

The rest

#

ffs

shadow plover
#

I don't regret my 2 year sub to it but it's not worth it JUST for the animations

queen laurel
vast heart
#

I do like the little beastmen wizard ngl

celest dome
#

Not really worth the cost tbh, better to privateer

storm jungle
#

The big downside of WH+ is that GW basically has it so enclosed that its basically going to wither and die

green loom
#

It's also very jarring because you'll get nicely animated 2D stormcast and then cell shaded model scans KEKW_ogryn

Poking more fun at Games Workshop's Hamm...

▶ Play video
storm jungle
#

and the services are not worth it

#

if GW wasnt so arrogant and protective of their IP and partnered with some streaming service it would be much better

vast heart
#

Yeah thats some 90s cartoon goofiness lmao

shadow plover
#

Pretty sure it won't die any day soon, if they link the (currently free) army builder to WH+, which I strongly believe they will, it'll keep pumping for a good while longer

vast heart
#

Like even down to the "loud sound effects make up for animation with no weight, right guys?"

queen laurel
green loom
#

I will say the Lucius episode is a bit better on the animation front

#

But the model scans still look stupid KEKW_ogryn

vast heart
#

Anything particularly interesting to a chaos simp?\

green loom
#

Is Interrogator out?

vast heart
#

I love any non khorne chaos content

shadow plover
#

First season yeah

queen laurel
vast heart
#

Khorne is ok but boring

queen laurel
green loom
#

Khorne is simple and based

queen laurel
#

Like he's basically the first one that you are going to see on the marketing for chaos

vast heart
#

Yeah hes functional and I like that he exist

green loom
#

No the face of chaos is probably Nurgle at this point

vast heart
#

He's the straight man who justifies the weirdness of the others

queen laurel
green loom
#

Yarp

#

But yeah I feel like Hammer and Bolter is getting consistently better

#

Albeit at a dirt slow pace

#

Like

#

The Lucius episode had a decent enough story it's just that it was about Lucius and there's realistically only one plot thread that's even possible for hi m

#

Also it had nice Fortress Monastery visuals

storm jungle
#

Yeah its a shame its trapped on WH+

celest dome
#

As always, GW shooting itself in the foot

vast heart
#

Also was thinking a while ago, what if they greek pantheon the chaos gods?

a la The big 4 are the Titans and get overthrown for another 4 (or even a bigger, broader pantheon)

You'd naturally have Vashtorr, Belakor, Big E, (Maybe) Malice, whatever the fuck the T'au are manifesting in the warp rn,

you could get super funky with it and have Ferrus Manus as like a headless horseman death god type thing, Lorgar would piss his pants at the opportunity to become a chaos god and it would very poetically ironic if he and big emps ended up on the same power level and in the same pantheon, you could have the wolf spirit entity on Fenris become a new chaos god (unless that was confirmed to be a C'tan I forget details)

idk man I know this is very fanfiction-y but I would like some major advancement to the story because shit is crawlingalong narratively rn

storm jungle
#

The Horus Heresy/30k itself is already basically a greek myth/tragedy so its not that far fetched surprisingly lol

vast heart
storm jungle
#

yeah 40k fucking LOVES using greek myth names

#

everything from monsters to locations to figures

green loom
#

Malice mentioned? I rage

vast heart
#

So do I honestly I have to refrain from ham-fisted references to norse mythology whenever I try to write

shadow plover
#

The emps is just Kratos, mortal given godly powers by gods then betraying them but ultimately getting offed themselves

green loom
#

Malice is fake news, don't believe the redditora

vast heart
#

oh man this guy is incredibly likeable and loves his mum? would be a shame if someone named him Baldr and made that character trait feel unsubtle

queen laurel
green loom
shadow plover
#

no, the emperor. He also got some warp juice to make the primarchs and so on

green loom
#

Archaon is Kratos

storm jungle
#

ZOOS

#

YOUR SON HAS RETURNED

green loom
#

Random mortal(Emps is immortal by default)
Hates Gods, is a God

#

Has godly powers, loads of godly trinkets

#

Embarked on an epic quest to acquire said trinkets

#

Item of benefactors he shits on later

vast heart
#

Yeah but does big E have a snoo snoo minigame?

shadow plover
#

yeah with malcador

storm jungle
shadow plover
#

chapter 15 book 42

#

trust me

storm jungle
#

Can't believe the Emperor actually went "We must continue the Neoth bloodline."

vast heart
#

40k exists beyond hyperbole bc you could just as easily be making that up or referencing an actual 45 book series and I would be none the wiser

storm jungle
#

Unless you are against a lore-nerd yep

shadow plover
#

well ||turns out|| the 42nd heresy book is Garro so could very much be true

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Also like, people will call some other guy's 40k ideas stupid

#

when you got shit like the Emperor destroying the Tower of Babel

#

or how Yarrick has an ork bionic arm

vast heart
#

Bro the Lion went and took a nap

#

Wasn't like captured or defeated or disintegrated

storm jungle
#

If I made a commissar character like that if Yarrick never existed people would call my character stupid lol

vast heart
#

He just said fuck yall and took a nap

#

Thats somehow goofier than anything else to me

shadow plover
storm jungle
#

Meanwhile a mini with it comes out

#

"WAOW GW IS SO COOL WITH THESE MINIS"

vast heart
#

The same people absolutely malding over the Titan in Brutal kunnin'

storm jungle
#

That too

#

Titan fans are the fucking WORST

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

and that wasn't even that bad

vast heart
#

Based

#

I'm a staunch anti vehicle anti dread anti titan player

#

Gives me lads

#

Larger lads

storm jungle
#

Like an example of Titan sizes here:

vast heart
#

And daemon princes

storm jungle
#

people say an Imperator is too small

#

im like

#

bro have you ever stood next to a building

shadow plover
#

the fuckers teleported through the shield, mounted the head and bashed the people inside, not even that unlikely when titan boarding actions have been done before

queen laurel
#

like you can literally get a battle wagon add extra parts in and you can use that battle wagon

storm jungle
#

so the Brutal Kunnin' one is legit not that bad

shadow plover
#

also it gave us the best squig name

storm jungle
#

Princess my beloved ❤️

queen laurel
vast heart
#

The problem with having something like a titan is that it's so easy to just Worf one as a lazy way to make your character cool

storm jungle
#

That too

#

also titans are just not invincible

storm jungle
#

theres a reason they travel in packs

green loom
#

He's literally

#

Every bad homebrew trope rolled into one

#

And half the fandom adores him

vast heart
#

Mech suits are largely impractical anyway

#

There's a reason we use tanks irl

shadow plover
#

warmachines require infantry support to cover the areas they cannot see or defend, just like in real life you don't have tanks going alone without support and expect to survive for long

storm jungle
#

also titans are just impractical and get defended by plot convenience

#

a single orbital bombardment would wipe one out

vast heart
#

Yeah I think farsight should've fallen to khorne tbh

#

Just give Tau a major hero from each caste

#

Have each one fall to a different chaos god

queen laurel
vast heart
#

Wow look at that dope minis and a reason to push tau story along

storm jungle
#

stuff like this always happens in their books

green loom
#

Admech rangers can snipe components off knights

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Yeah not a joke lmao

#

their form especially

queen laurel
#

That can move on small feet or treads

storm jungle
#

Yeah and its a single "mass"

#

with titans they got long massive legs that need to support a seperate upper body

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

GAAAH I want to start an Adeptus Titanicus force so bad

vast heart
#

Yeah I have a friend who's an engineer who has ranted at length about how top heavy titans would be and how sophisticated the hydraulics would have to be to let it move quickly with any balance

crimson kayak
#

There was a really old mech game with some super fucking hard to use specialized controller where you played basically 40k titans

green loom
#

The one where infantry ran up to you and threw shit inside?

crimson kayak
#

Nah, you were too big to see infantry

vast heart
#

Man I just realized how fuckin cool a titanfall game in 40k would be

storm jungle
#

I was reading Kingmaker the knight novel

#

i finished it in 2 days

#

and instantly re-installed Titanfall 2 lmao

crimson kayak
#

That was one

#

But I remember another one where the mechs where basically battleships with legs

vast heart
#

Lowkey if you could find a way to bake legions into your class would be really cool

queen laurel
#

Never played Titanfall but I liked him

vast heart
#

Salamanders are lower movement but have access to better CQC

shadow plover
#

TF1 Atlas > all TF2 titans

vast heart
#

White scars are fast squishy vehicle specialists

#

Ultrasmurfs are on the box art

#

Everyones here!

#

Any books/media on pre-biotransference Necrontyr out there?

shadow plover
#

Twice Dead King has plenty

green loom
#

Does Infinite and the Divine reference it at all?

shadow plover
#

a bit

#

a couple mentions only

storm jungle
#

Its mostly mentioning Trazyn's recollection of it yeah

#

there isnt much aside from like uh

#

You either willingly went into the massive bio-furnaces

#

or were dragged in droves by chains

shadow plover
#

how orikan and trazyn remember certain things differently

storm jungle
#

Yeee

#

and just the c'tan flying above the planet eating all the souls of the necrons

#

thats kind of it?

shadow plover
#

pretty much. Twice Dead King goes into it further with full recollections about events long before and closer to biotransference

celest dome
#

Hawken was a fun mech game

storm jungle
#

Ye and even then its like

#

well its literally ancient egypt

#

lmao

#

There isnt much to really explore there

shadow plover
#

it's mostly there to build relationship between a couple characters for the reader

storm jungle
#

Yeah this basically.

#

If you want biotransference background just look up the excerpts on reddit and you should be pretty up to date.

shadow plover
#

but TDK is fucking great and well worth it

#

both books

storm jungle
#

100%

#

it only suffers from the fact that its obviously one book forcefully split into two

#

otherwise its great

vast heart
shadow plover
#

well at least for the dynasty in question in Twice Dead King that is pretty much what you will get from it

vast heart
#

Yee Ive heard nothing but good things about TDK so I'll have to check that out

#

Trying to learn about crons tau and Aeldar

#

I've given up on Aeldar ngl they're cringe

pine wedge
shadow plover
#

I loved the books so much that I've started a whole army of Ithakan necrons

pine wedge
#

even worse that it's fucking tower of babel and ENUNCIA again

#

goddamnit abnett

vast heart
#

Outside of making slaanesh I can't deal with their weeb stories

storm jungle
#

not even simplifying it

#

they have chariots, mud huts, slaves etc

vast heart
#

Oh so the tomb king reference is super on-the-nose then?

storm jungle
#

Nah just writers being unoriginal lol

vast heart
#

Bc they're basically just 40k undead skeleton horde right?

storm jungle
crimson kayak
storm jungle
crimson kayak
#

Literally the only time it wasn't Abnett to use the Enuncia

crimson kayak
#

Np

pine wedge
#

I thought that was something he shoehorned into the end and the death or whatever. I haven't even started reading the siege of terra

crimson kayak
#

I can understand considering it's literally the only time it wasn't done by Abnett

storm jungle
#

Yeah i literally just mixed it up too

#

because uh

#

in the latest Death/End novel

#

theres an entire section where some characters go through malcador's book stash

#

and its nothing BUT wojak pointing at IRL authors

crimson kayak
#

Lol

storm jungle
#

Literally jst

pine wedge
#

to be fair

storm jungle
#

"OH MY GOD YOU KNOW THIS AUTHOR?"

pine wedge
#

it works on my dumb ass brain

shadow plover
#

well there's plenty of made up authors after 21st century

pine wedge
#

I remember the ancient toy with CCCP on it from uhhhh

#

the first bequin novel?

#

because I was like YOOOOOOOOO wojak pointing at the time

shadow plover
#

it's like 20% real 80% made up

storm jungle
#

Yeah the general issue is they sometimes make it seem like NOTHING happened between our time and 40k

#

like theres the Inquisitor novel Vaults of Terra

#

where a haemonculus says Bach is a great musician

#

im like

#

??????

pine wedge
#

well, he is.

storm jungle
#

ITS AN ALIEN SAYING THIS

pine wedge
#

will still be good 40,000 years from now.

#

game recognize game man wcys

storm jungle
green loom
#

It's not just an alien, it's a Haemonculi

storm jungle
#

a Haemonculi has definitely seen much more artistic stuff than just Bach

green loom
#

Literally Dark Eldar illuminati member that's slowly destroying the race KEKW_ogryn

crimson kayak
#

Yeah but in those years earth didn't have like, 10 apocalyptic encounters of different kind where the planet was basically reshaped

pine wedge
#

game. recognize. game.

vast heart
#

Yeah I've never been a big fan of the "actual real life human earth is Terra" concept

shadow plover
#

I must've glossed over that part or didn't realize what he meant because of weird spelling by the narrator KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

LMAO

storm jungle
pine wedge
vast heart
storm jungle
#

its just on the nose

#

and very "wojak point"

green loom
#

I need to go work on my commission instead of chatting

shadow plover
#

and I honestly think Abnett did pretty good work of adding 'stuff' to the time frame between now and then when they go through the books in the library. Most of the stuff was made up after or during the dark age of technology

crimson kayak
storm jungle
#

^

crimson kayak
#

I don't think any piece of knowledge would survive lol

storm jungle
#

unless its in a capsule or preserved by the likes of Malcador yeah

shadow plover
#

well the emperor saved a cave painting so some must've

vast heart
#

Actually I just remembered the whole mechanicus origin story and its redeemed the concept a bit in my mind

shadow plover
#

or a replica of one tbh

pine wedge
shadow plover
#

quite

vast heart
#

People on mars worshipping the guys who know how to work the machines and forming a weird regressive religion around it is pretty cool

pine wedge
#

😎

vast heart
#

Also whats everyone's take on Votann?

#

They feel a bit...meh to me

#

Like they have an identity issue

shadow plover
#

great because they're a human faction separate from the imperium

green loom
#

It will only get worse

vast heart
#

But I could also just not know enough I felt like that about tau

shadow plover
#

literally the best way to do dwarves in 40k

celest dome
#

I like Dwarfs, but I prefer the Squats for 40k

shadow plover
#

squats were weird tbh

celest dome
#

The Kin are sorta SM looking like

pine wedge
#

I think the Votann are pretty cool but I'll have to read some books with them as protagonists and stuff to get a proper feel for the faction

vast heart
#

Squats are specifically like, hive city votann aren't they?

#

Or is it a seperate type of abhuman?

celest dome
#

Votaan are their AI, the people are called Kin

#

Squat are those that live inside the Imperium

vast heart
#

Yeah I've gotta adjust to that

shadow plover
#

squats are a subset of a League that stayed behind or something like that

pine wedge
#

but I like their origin as a remant of DAoT humanity separate from the Imperium, I like that dwarf fans can have space dwarves now, and I like the Votann ancestor cores, the Ironkin, the cloning process and the idea that the Votann are slowly failing as a racial imperative for the Kin to... you know, start doing stuff. what I don't really like is how all their tech seems to be "Imperial but waaaaay better lol. stupid nerds"

wooden ridge
#

So.. Can we put Deep Rock Galactic inside the 40k? kat

green loom
#

Remember, Gav is writing the first Votann novel KEKW_ogryn

shadow plover
#

I'm surprised they didn't have one ready for the release of the army

pine wedge
vast heart
#

If you guys get deep rock then I get "Sera from gears of war is a planet in 40k"

celest dome
#

Not enough melee to be part of 40k

vast heart
#

idk why it just feels right

shadow plover
#

nah I don't want turtlemen in 40k

vast heart
#

Yeah edgy chainsaw tau whats not to love

storm jungle
#

this is literally almost the same fucking vehicle

#

lmao

vast heart
#

So if a Votann scientist were to

#

say

#

hypothetically

#

Do some aggressive gene experimentation to try and find a more stable form for the Kins DNA bank?

#

They could maybe

#

hypothetically

green loom
#

Problem is

vast heart
#

spawn a subterrainian race of ab-votann that live in the planets core for decades

green loom
#

"Aggressive" is the complete opposite of how Votann do things lol

#

They spend like 100 years debating if they should mine out Path A or Path B

vast heart
#

Yeah it would have to be one rogue

#

Like imagine the dwarf version of Bellisarius Cawl

green loom
#

Because most of their decision making is linked to them ancestor cores iirc, and due to insane bloat they're dead slow

celest dome
vast heart
#

Kinda like Viktor in Arcane

green loom
#

I think we don't know enough about like

#

Regular kin

#

To really gauge how well that'd work

vast heart
#

Yeah true but I will find a way to put gears of war into 40k mark my words

#

Surely I can kitbash an Ork army into locusts or something

pine wedge
#

so the kin live in the galactic core right

#

and there's a big fuckoff black hole in the center of the galaxy right

#

what has 40k done with that black hole so far

#

what's in it?

#

what kind of baddie?

#

gotta be some unspeakable eldritch horror lurking inside of it.

shadow plover
#

can't recall if it has been even mentioned

celest dome
pine wedge
#

it's right there.

vast heart
#

Wait is this like a Yog-Sothoth thing?

#

Bc I am also down for most of Lovecraft to go in as Tzeentch demons and C'tan

#

40k is fortnite for grown men who would stab me for saying that out loud

#

Anything fits

storm jungle
vast heart
#

I have been duped

storm jungle
#

Wait not planets, stars sorry

pine wedge
#

Sagittarius A* ( AY star), abbreviated Sgr A* ( SAJ AY star), is the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. It is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.
The object is a bright and very comp...

storm jungle
#

yeah that aint in 40k

celest dome
# vast heart Cannot say I'm familiar tbh

Fantasy Dwarf, all 3 are (or were for Malakai) Engineer who are usually very cautious and test things for decades before clearing things through while all 3 of them were more daring (successfully for Burlok and Grimm

vast heart
#

Man I honestly enjoy how tropes kinda write themselves like that

pine wedge
#

james workshop get on this

vast heart
#

That's how you know you've got a solid concept, two people accidentally write the same story

storm jungle
#

because 40k has been using the milky way "but in the future" thing for like 30 years.

#

They wouldnt update it just to mention a blackhole that was discovered in modern times

pine wedge
#

I--

#

hm

#

🤔

#

why not though. it's not very large

#

just supermassive

#

the next evil faction they introduce should come pouring out of that black hole in the middle of the league of votann galactic core territory. you're welcome james, I'll take 10% royalties.

storm jungle
#

it just doesnt add anything to the story

vast heart
#

What major races from fantasy/AoS aren't represented?

#

Can we justify space dinosaurs coming out of the universussy

#

Man I am on one tonight

pine wedge
#

LOL

terse flume
#

skraven is the big one

pine wedge
storm jungle
#

beats me

#

tell that to the writers

terse flume
#

the ratlings in 40k are not skaven

#

and that will always annoy me

vast heart
#

I highkey want 40k seraphom tho I have so many seraphon bc they're awesome to paint but I don't wanna play AoS

pine wedge
#

gottem.

celest dome
terse flume
#

it's so dense because there are like ten trillion to the power of 100 skaven stacked superdense

vast heart
#

Who don't even have rules or models lol

pine wedge
storm jungle
#

noooo

vast heart
#

What if it puckers slightly and thats why we get an Emp's Children refresh

crimson kayak
storm jungle
#

You could run Slaan using lizardmen models as the leftover protector species the Old Ones made

green loom
#

AoS is pretty based and epic

storm jungle
vast heart
#

Man thats kinda neat

#

Are they canon dead?

storm jungle
#

Yeah they got retconned they dont exist

vast heart
#

I just want Olmec inspired power armour tbh, I also super fw the low-tech magician in space vibe they'd probably have

#

Kinda like the temples in destiny

#

Maybe a good idea for a tsons proxy, swap the egytian aesthetic for more of a south american one

celest dome
#

Isn't there a SM chapter that use such aesthetics

crimson kayak
#

dark angels

celest dome
#

They were more North American

crystal forum
#

south american is very vague

#

like saying "African aesthetic"

#

would be interesting to see a colonial american inspired guardsmen regiment

#

with the tricorns and all

celest dome
#

Isn't the Mordrian like that ?

celest dome
#

Though more French

green loom
storm jungle
#

wow

#

generic space marine!

shadow plover
#

it looks good shut up

storm jungle
#

no

shadow plover
#

can't wait for the traitor one though

green loom
#

Can't this be both

#

Like most of da models

shadow plover
#

it's specified as the loyalist one in the article, but of course you can paint it Sons of Horus or sometghing if you want to

celest dome
#

It doesn't look bad, but it's just a SM

crimson kayak
#

In all seriousness is that an emperor champion or what?

storm jungle
#

its a Champion

crimson kayak
#

Btw love how models have like, 6 bullets total in the mag

#

Also why the fuck is that open to begin with

shadow plover
#

rule of cool

#

it's cool to see bullits

#

and having small ammo count holes or see through mags at that scale is probably not worth the effort

crystal forum
#

i really don't get why GW never takes the opportunity to explain space marine ammunition paradox with their backpacks

#

they always intentionally make it clear that the backpacks are only for powering the armour even though they could just say they also contain spare ammunition

arctic talon
#

Space marines in lore usually store mags on their ass

#

They’re magnetic

#

Or their thighs

crimson kayak
#

I mean wasn't there a bunch of SW books where marines pulled stuff out of their backpack?

crystal forum
#

yeah i always imagine it as like opening up in containers that are flush against the armour

crimson kayak
#

Also I mean, we do have pouches/belt accessories, it's just that no one uses them lol

arctic talon
#

Phobos

#

Have tons of pouches as well lol

green loom
#

I like the idea that the shoulders are big to store ammo

crimson kayak
#

Oh yeah I meant for firstborn too

crystal forum
#

it's just always annoying to me when tactical squads provide supporting fire against waves of infantry

#

in books

#

i can't imagine it in my head. they'd run out of ammo so fast unless they keep tons of mags on them

arctic talon
#

Objectively speaking marines also shouldn’t be doing that

#

💀

storm jungle
#

Objectively speaking Marines should not exist

arctic talon
#

Outside of Horus heresy

Tbf I always imagined as half the damage of a Bolter being all shrapnel from either the bullet itself or the point of impact lol

arctic talon

Problem is the explosion isn’t like that big

#

Sure it’s enough to make marinara sauce out of a human torso

#

But it leaves it somewhat intact

crystal forum

if you consider a fist sized hole as intact

I mean

It’s intact enough to recognize as a human corpse

queen laurel
# green loom Idk their characters are good

I'm not saying the characters are bad i'm just saying that it's annoying because that their used for is making generic models like you said, i mean one of my favorite marine characters malum caedo is a ultramarine

green loom
#

Caedo is as much a character as DOOM guy

#

Less tbh

#

We never meet his squad, he doesn't monologue, and he just shouts battle cries while killing things

#

Caedo only exists to sell boltgun, he's literally a marketing tool same as the model line lel

Otherwise he was literally Caedo but silent

And Caedo was literally him but with a battle cry or two

Also I just saw Davoth's concept art normal sized armour and I want to go to ID software and burn them to the ground

green loom

#

ngl i like both

#

but the 2nd one is deffo more power-armor

#

the first one is a bit more "man-sized" so it feels a bit more mano-a-mano

crimson kayak
#

The first one fits as Davoth physical form was supposed to be literally the slayer lol

#

The second one doesn't because why would the literal avatar of God wear a mech suit

storm jungle
#

that

#

exactly

#

from a "story" perspective first one fits much more

#

also man, Doom is too metal

crimson kayak
#

Ye, I must say the siege was epic

#

Would have liked to see a bit more fighting between the sentinel/slayers and Daemons through

#

Instead of just the giant fuck off mechs and ballistas

green loom
#

The music choice for the big endgame scene was meh

crimson kayak
#

Tbf im more fucking sad it's literally the only time we see other slayers

green loom
#

No you see the traitor in the base game

crimson kayak
#

Otherwise it was... Fine, after all it's only an intro cutscene and not a full blown cinematic battle

green loom
#

And the marauders are evil slayers

crimson kayak
#

With the Grey armour and all tha5

#

Marauder is a better counterpoint

#

Also Davoth's "Aten me" scene where all the ships and Daemons rise up would have been cool if Hell spaceships made even a bit of sense lol

#

Or if the hell soldier guys had guns instead of halberds while trying to point at the slayer/ground from various km away lol

Theres also a Dark Eldar Kabal that released a gas over an Imperial hive city that caused its entire population to mutate in such a way that their faces became replicas of the ruling Archon's

They do a little bit of trolling

They are living breathing mcguffins

arctic talon

bruh

I mean you could just shoot one to death

you can kill one with a lasgun if they are not prepared.

I tried explaining what peak dark eldar shenaningans is like to a friend of mine that doesn't know anything 40k related. So I just flashbanged them with the idea of a military in our own real world slamming three nuclear powered submarines into New York City from the air (What Vect did to that one city cus the leader was a funny little guy). They kinda just stared at me like I was crazy and I told them thats the look you should give any dark eldar.

#

And they understood

storm jungle

Yeah its close but not enough

Dark Eldar are literally just a pornocracy

mfw I shoot the hameonculi to death with a las gun but he "pranks" me by turning me into a sentient rug

#

Haemonculi having a "fun" time is a pretty good indication for any dark eldar not under the protection of a kabal to clear the area

and even then

you still shouldn't stick around lol

Haemonculi are literally Lester from GTA Online

they do have that

but its not nightmarish either lol

queen laurel

The tau don't have noses

#

So they're pretty lackluster in that regard

storm jungle
#

I remember reading one book where a tau-based human and a water caste diplomat searching a crime scene and stumbling upon a genestealer conspiracy

arctic talon
#

the worst planet in the tau empire makes the best forge world in the imperium look awful

storm jungle
#

the entire irony of the book was that GSC have a hard time settling on tau worlds

#

because the population is not desperate

#

or miserable

earnest snow
#

don't trust a mfer with no nose

arctic talon
#

also you forgot the fact its impossible for them to really get 2nd gen genestealers

storm jungle
#

Also that

arctic talon
#

from the populace beyond just humans

storm jungle
#

Yeee

arctic talon

bcs the Tau control who gets to have children

also tau actively do bio-scans and checkups

You dare question the God-Emperor's will? If he wants you to die you will die now get searching!

Oh I remember this dlc. That fighting animation between the Atlan and the Titan was beautiful. Like the ones in the STANDALONE film, Pacific Rim.

Now that I look at it, gene stealers are only effective at the imperium, the eldar are suffering, same for the dark ones, the tau are advance, the necrons are metal, and the orks, well they are Orks i'm pretty sure you can piece together the pieces from here

Gene stealers only really work on the imperium and random minor xenos species

That aren’t mentioned

Eldar infiltration is extremely difficult because they are a close-knit society

also their birth-rate is slow lmao

Also everyone’s psychic lol

Dark Eldar also dont work because the moment theres a uprising an Archon is gonna nuke that entire area

also Commorragh is literally endless

But everyone he shows up he just murders everyone that isn’t aligned with tzeentch

hes from Imperial Armor

so naturally he'll get gigachad lore

Meanwhile in slaaneshs realm they dont care if im a "degenerate who commits crimes against nature" theyll accept me

Also Eldrad stole all their bones lol

I'm sure an Imperial Citizen has been summarily executed by a Magos at one point because they were dared by their friends to request being turned into an air fryer servitor.

Its what I'd do

It’s an open secret that invention happens

Yeee its just like

you will call a techpriest out on it
