Lmao

#

but yeah sex and drugs is like the most base level excess stuff

earnest snow
#

Unrelated to the convo, but playing as tomb kings in warhammer 3 with kingdom hearts' halloween town theme is an experience

arctic talon
#

Lol

queen laurel
#

Basically slannesh will find a way to exploit your search for pleasure, it's not just sex, even reading a book is a pleasure, collecting rare jewelries is a pleasure, everything that pleases you she will take control with and turn it up to 11 and turn your hobby into something very horrific

storm jungle
#

Its true Spain is like that

#

I MEAN

earnest snow
#

We live in spain without the A

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Too late

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

but also yeah its why when people think slaanesh is just about sex you already know they got no idea what the god even is about lol

arctic talon
#

A slaanesh worshiper is literally going to do the worst thing possible to you

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Then your dead body

#

And then turn your dead body into something else

earnest snow
#

Slaanesh be like: "Pleasure. Excess. Going to the next stronger high! YOU CAN'T GET ENOUUUUGHHH!"

Fans: "lol segs"

storm jungle
#

this lol

earnest snow
#

This is why noise marines exist

storm jungle
#

Slaanesh is basically just Hellraiser

arctic talon
#

They like loud noises

storm jungle
#

its not fun

#

at all

arctic talon
#

Really loud ones

queen laurel
earnest snow
#

I want a noise marine to blast me to the stone ages with a strum of their guitar if I ever misconstrue Slaanesh. Because it does get annoying due to how many people just say "lol segs"

#

WE get it

#

yer uhhh...censored word

storm jungle
#

Yeah its just basic nonsense

#

people will never stop doing it

#

best to just ignore it

queen laurel

#

I know people who look at Dark Eldar and wiggle their eyebrows. I mean, fair, but they will literally rip those brows off and turn you into a scrotum. But apparently people are into that ig

when you try to skip on the bill so the barista takes the lattes you drank back by force

torpid narwhal
#

Why is nurgle so obsessed with numbers

solid hill
celest cedar
#

I imagine faithlessness is something Guard regiment chaplains have to deal with on a daily basis

#

Something represented by the Loose Cannon having survivor's guilt for not seeing any divine intervention from the God Emperor when their platoon was killed

solid hill
#

you have to deal with lost faith when your "god" is literally existant and has evidence in the world

#

it's faith broken rather than an absence

pine wedge
#

becomes hard to believe that "the emperor protects" when you see all your mates die around you. that's what the preachers are for.

celest cedar
#

Even Cutthroat is bitter that there was no Emperor to protect Cadia when it fell

vast heart
#

Caste system creates some fucky issues surrounding free will and ethics too but its pretty light existentialism compared to the war crime shit other factions get up to.

Normally a genetically ingrained caste system is only present in species without individual sentience and autonomy. Creates a weird issue with 'destiny' and free will that I hope they explore. A non fire caste Tau finding some way to be a badass warrior seems like an easy enough way to explore it to begin with

crimson kayak
#

Also don't forget their leaders can still partially mind control them

#

Like, remember that farsight had the sight to rebel only after his assigned ethereal death

vast heart
crimson kayak
#

Bioengineered i wouldn't say, Ethereal definetly got that warp fucky wucky through

vast heart
#

Like, the imperium essentially look away for two seconds, look back, and the monkeys over the hill are suddenly space faring

crimson kayak
#

Wait

#

Rememeber the warp storm

#

They didn't just look away

#

Lol

vast heart
#

Plus Necrons, Orks, Aeldar and kinda Votann are all bioengineered race

#

races*

crimson kayak
#

Necrons are not

vast heart
#

Not outside the realm of possibilty that one more xenos race is manmade

#

Current Necrons technically are

#

Like its not the same but its functionally the same thing

crimson kayak
#

I mean it's like saying cawl is bioengineered

#

As he's more replacement part than flesh

vast heart
#

Well yeah admech and necrons mirror each other as races

crimson kayak
#

Anyhow for Eldar and Orks yeah, it's kind of their whole deal

vast heart
#

One is a machine trying to regain their humanity and one is a human trying to reject everything that stops them from being a machine

crimson kayak
#

Votann are literally clones of old earth explorers

#

But Tau know what happened during the warp storms years and we know too what happened there when the ethereals appeared

#

Main thing we don't know is how the ethereals appeared

#

Wich is the main mistery

vast heart
#

Yall ready for another of my blindingly hot takes

crimson kayak
#

But you know, warp storm, time dilation, yadda yadda

vast heart
#

Ethereals are tzeentch demons

#

Argument

#

:

#

Blue

crimson kayak
#

the literal race of blue fish people

green loom
#

They aren't daemons for one

vast heart
#

Sounds like something a tzeentch daemon would tell you

celest dome
#

I'm betting on the Ethereal being the latest project of a surviving Old One

vast heart
#

Which does check out they pretty much invented all of the other xenos

crimson kayak
#

Literally just Eldar and Orks

#

Plus a bunch of un named guys

celest dome
#

Well it's lss that they invented the other Xenos races and more that they uplifted some

vast heart
#

Jokaero too no?

celest dome
#

No

vast heart
#

I'm paraphrasing when I saw invented

celest dome
#

Jokaero were part of a race that was enemy with the Eldar afaik

vast heart
#

Wiki says I'm right yall

crimson kayak
#

Right on what, we just spewed 4 different things here lol

vast heart
#

" | Warhammer 40k Wiki | Fandom
The Jokaero are not a naturally evolved species, but were created by the Old Ones during the War in Heaven over 60 million Terran years ago for the purpose of aiding in their conflict with the C'tan and the Necrons"

celest dome
#

Which source is that from ?

vast heart
#

Fandom, lexicanum says the same thing

crimson kayak
#

Extremely old (3rd ed) necron codex

#

And Tbf can't really dispute it considering Jokaero got jobbed so hard they literally only appear in Blackstone

pine wedge
#

if it's old but has never been contradicted then it's still canon.

crimson kayak
#

Ye

#

looks at the star-child and sensei in the corner

#

Anyhow yeah, I prefer to attribute Tau tech jump to warp storm time dilation shenanigans

#

Same for the ethereals appearance

#

As they do know of chaos

storm jungle
#

its a reference to the Number of the Beast in christianity with the devil having his own cursed number

shadow plover
#

granted nurgle worshipers seem to take it a step further

#

lots of counting

celest dome
#

He does have his Tallymen, only Khorne also tend to count stuff

storm jungle
#

Tzeentch and Slaanesh do as well

#

theres many examples of it

wooden ridge
pine wedge
#

Jokaero are mentioned in Darktide, that's pretty recent.

storm jungle
#

they were also in blackstone fortress

#

also still got a mini on the shop

shadow plover
#

jokaero faction when

#

gw lets the game die

#

jokaero sweep

storm jungle
#

you could field an jokaero army back in the day as a tabletop strat, i miss it

shadow plover
#

god I wish that were me

wooden ridge
pine wedge
#

but I saw a screenshot of it

storm jungle
#

theres like thousands so its normal lol

#

they mention pretty much also every alien race in the setting off-handedly

shadow plover
#

did it go along the lines abhumans something something and useful mutants or something

storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

SHUT UP

#

that stupid repetitive voiceline is haunting my dreams

#

alongside

shadow plover
#

no really!!

storm jungle
#

NEVERMIND YOU MIND

pine wedge
#

IT AINT GOOD

#

TO BE ASKIN

#

QUESTIONS LIKE THAT.

storm jungle
#

AUGHHH MORROW GET OUT OF MY HEAD

shadow plover
#

stop asking!

pine wedge
#

or something to that effect.

shadow plover
#

oh now I recall it

#

yeah think I've heard it

wooden ridge
pine wedge
#

yeah they talk about Felinids sometimes and Ratlings a lot

wooden ridge
#

I am a bit disappointed we haven't got any smol humans in darktide, considering Vermintide had dwarfs Sitgryn

hallow saddle
storm jungle
#

its a bit more prominent in 40k i think

#

mostly also due to tabletop

#

where iirc the number stuff of chaos gods actually matter with dice?

shadow plover
#

ehhh

#

kinda?

#

not sure if anymore

#

think DG had a rule that a roll of 7 will always pass psychic tests or something like that

#

or it was a super smite instead of double sixs

celest cedar
shadow plover
#

or I may be talking out of my ass

celest cedar
#

So its Jokaero huh

#

never heard of em

storm jungle
#

they are a very background alien race

#

literally just orangutans but techheads

#

they are great

celest cedar
#

yoooo Jokaero lore is wild xd

storm jungle
#

Not a lot to read but they are awesome

#

LITERALLY the embodiment of Monke

rose thorn
#

MONKEY MEN

arctic talon
#

So it matters a lot

#

TLDR funny numbers matter on the tabletop

#

and also matter in lore more in 40k then fantasy or AoS

keen stratus
#

Ok, so, doesnt the imperium consider heresy the fact that the adeptus mechanicus worhsip other god that inst the emperor?

storm jungle
#

It does but the Imperium much like its rulers is filled with hypocrisy.

#

You cant judge the people that fix all your tech

keen stratus
#

Yeah i can imagine

#

like

#

imagine all the people who knows they ways around computers on your town are from one religion

#

and then youre an obssesive of your own

#

you dont have that much of a choice

arctic talon
#

They worship the omnissiah which the mechanicus says is the emperor

#

(This is a matter up for a ton of debate in universe)

keen stratus
#

right

arctic talon
#

TLDR admech says they worship the emperor

#

Alongside other stuff

#

Not everyone in the admech believes this

crimson kayak
#

the Admech follows a trinity

#

The so called "Omnissiah" is technically considered to be the Emperor (aka, they said so they didn't have to teleport mars the fuck away)

#

Then you have The Motive force and the Machine God

#

Basically to the mechanicum the Emperor is their Jesus

keen stratus
#

Dude i wonder who henry cavill will play on the amazon series

#

i hope is the emperor

crimson kayak
#

Definetly not lol

keen stratus
#

ok

green loom
#

I believe that'd be called "Whitewashing"

crimson kayak
#

When you think of a possible 40k series, always think small

#

Simply due to not being realistically possible to make without fucking up a lot of stuff

keen stratus
#

Its is confirmed that ehnry cavill is working on a 40k series

crimson kayak
#

Ye

keen stratus
crimson kayak
#

The emperor was/is kind of whatever the fuck he wants you to see him

arctic talon
crimson kayak
#

His form isn't consistent

keen stratus
arctic talon
#

in most art he's either very tan or brownish

crimson kayak
#

Also what wolf said

arctic talon
#

but again he can change his form at will

#

so we don't even know if he actually looks like that

#

all we know is that he originated from anatolia

#

TLDR emperor is not white based on where he was from and how ancient he is

keen stratus
#

ok ok, sorry for not knowing

arctic talon
#

nah

#

thats not a bad thing to not know

keen stratus
#

i kinda supposed he was white, since everyone in warhammer seems to be from the UK

#

EVERYONE

arctic talon
#

lol

#

He is white in some art

keen stratus
#

Dude like i get it that Games workshop is on engaland

#

but i find it hard to belive

arctic talon
#

GW forgor

keen stratus
#

that the only surviving etnia in the far future is english people

#

like

arctic talon
#

there's

#

a lot of ethnicities in 40k

#

they just didn't get any old art

#

bcs again they're in england

keen stratus
#

(what im going to say its going to sound extremely wrong, but i think chinese people would be the more adaptable to the mega industrialization thing)

arctic talon
keen stratus
#

(since they can kick your ass with their industry)

#

(and it has been proved)

arctic talon
crimson kayak
#

That's... Debatable, but also the "Modern" Earth of 40k is nothing like ours anyway to begin with

#

So it's all moot

keen stratus
#

right

#

but youre telling

#

me

#

that from all the countris

#

it has to be england?

arctic talon
#

not really?

#

england isn't a thing in 40k

crimson kayak
#

That

arctic talon
#

any modern nationality is gone

keen stratus
crimson kayak
#

Caucasoid White=/England

arctic talon
#

again

#

british game

#

british accent and spelling

crimson kayak
#

Also that

arctic talon
#

And even futher they don't speak english in the imperium

#

Low Gothic is not english

crimson kayak
#

Also this

arctic talon
#

and High Gothic is described as a mix between an eastern dialect and latin

#

in the horus heresy books

#

The imperium also doesn't write in any recognizable form in universe really

keen stratus
arctic talon
#

the weird glyphs you see during the data interrogator minigame

#

are part of the high gothic alphabet

crimson kayak
#

Ye, same as how none of the Cultist graffiti are in English but all in the dark tongue

#

If I recall correctly

arctic talon
#

almost all english lettering you see in 40k

#

isn't there in universe

#

GW just doesn't want to paint out some god forsaken script they came up with 10 years ago

#

on a tiny mini when english letters are easier

#

for them

crimson kayak
#

Like, when you think 40k, remove all concepts of both logic and normal history

#

Earth during the unification wars was basically Mad Max on multiple and copious amount of radiation and steroids

#

For example

#

Hell, The tower of babel is real in 40k and was built with magical words

arctic talon
#

Also the thing people never talk about with the techno barbarians

#

Is that they were smart

#

Like

#

They weren’t anywhere near stupid

crimson kayak
#

I mean, they did have proper empires after all

#

And surviving radiation mutated hellscape requires more than brawn lol

arctic talon
#

Yeah but people hear barbarian

#

And assume stupid

#

except for the fact that some techno barbarian warlord had an entire army of dreadnaughts that didn't require a half dead super soldier to pilot it

#

and there's more examples

crimson kayak
#

Tbf the fact their only art appearance was this didn't help

arctic talon
#

lol

#

fair

#

I really like this piece of art

keen stratus
#

Ok, heres what you told me today about the omnisiah

arctic talon
#

for them

crimson kayak
#

The Omnissiah is said by most mechanicus to be the Emperor, but some don't think so. It's said to be physical manifestation of the Machine God

The Machine God is literally their equivalent of god, said to give rise to all technology.

The Motive force is all the ensemble of Forces/Currents that keep the universe physically going, usually represented with electricity

#

All this now got super fucky wucky through as a Men Of Iron (AI) said to have met the True Omnissiah

And also we now have a Daemon related to Technological progress

#

So it got all a bit weird

#

(and knowing GW none of these plot points will go anywhere unless they release a dark mechanicum faction on the tabletop)

crimson kayak
#

even through it's also a lot similar to modern imperial enforcer armour lol

winter vessel
#

I really wish we could see more glimpses of the old Human Empire before the Age of Strife.

crimson kayak
#

tbf we don't know a lot of the age of strife too

#

we basically only know a bit of the Saturnine's due to the solar auxilia

winter vessel
#

So I know Big E is very very old and has obviously lived through countless time periods. But I'd like to imagine this giant Bionic Man sitting in a DMV building to get his drivers license.

crimson kayak
#

that's technically very possible lol

#

i mean the emperor was there for all human history basically

winter vessel
#

Just imagine a Custodes consulting with him: "My lord what is this record file of a location the Ancients called D M V?" and Big E just psychically incinerates any trace of it.

Hey everyone, so I'm writing up a script for a lore video on Darktide and finding relevant lore has been kinda hard as the wiki pages for the characters are bare or just very short in regards to the Hive, World and Domain.

I've scraped together all the Wiki bits I can find and am rewriting them to be more substantial and pleasant to listen to.

If anyone has any lore bit I should add they've found in the game or anything could you let me know?

Also, something I need confirmation on is if the collars all rejects wear are bomb collars or not. I think they are but I can't find any confirmation anywhere.

storm jungle
# scarlet hollow Hey everyone, so I'm writing up a script for a lore video on Darktide and findin...

The Summary is very surface because as others have said we dont know much about the game, Atoma Prime the planet itself has some lore on the lexicanum if you want to read it along with the Moebian 6th, but the general deal is that the regiment was recalled home (being the most elite fighting force of the sector) to deal with the local uprising of the Admonition Cult (the dregs you fight ingame) before launching a trojan horse attack and revealing they had switched sides and catching the entire planet by surprise, these were mostly made by rigged to blow trains judging from the trailers with chemical concoctions that turned a lot of the population of the lower hive into poxwalkers.

Now they are fully helping with the uprising alongside the cult and fighting globally around the planet, our missions are more spec ops related at hitting tactically important spots within the Hive while theres an active war going on in the other sides of the planet.

Most lore we got so far is that the Moebians and the Cult used the Water Cartel to take over most of the Underhive before betraying them alongside any other criminal organisation as well as that they had inside help from the Hive for the surprise invasion, very possibly by another noble house.

The general "lore" for the game gets revealed as we go even if its not too much, at the moment our job is to keep distrupting the Cult and the Moebians to give us an edge on the war, for now no help is coming due to the effects of the Great Rift on the Moebian Domain so we are completely alone.

#

You can also find some short stories official BL authors have written for the game pre-release

scarlet hollow
storm jungle
#

No worries

#

also im PRETTY sure they are bomb collars

#

You can see a guy try to escape in the intro in a side scene and the moment he crosses a line on the floor his head explodes

summer rover
#

it should be noted that the cult's only managed to secure a segment of the hive, as mentioned several times in the verious intro dialoges for starting the mission. the conflict is restricted toon chunk of the hive and the badlands extending from it, where we presume the bulk of the traitor guard is fighting.

scarlet hollow

theres actually a lot to fill in for a video you just have to dig it up from pre-release material and ingame dialogue

Remember half human hybrids from an older edition of 40K that no longer fit into their faction’s or the game’s background anymore?

#

That’s right, it’s ||Necron Pariahs||.

celest dome
#

Though you were gonna say the ||Half Eldar SM||

coarse pumice
#

As you see, those guys are just the equivalent ||of Illiyan Nastase but for the Necrons||

#

Nastase is back

coarse pumice
#

I might kitbash him

#

Are there any SM Librarian models with swappable heads?

green loom
#

He's just a regular farseer now

coarse pumice
#

Argh, but I need to finish my backlog as I’ll need to get a box of guardians or something for the head

crimson kayak
green loom
storm jungle
#

Pariahs are also not really considered a part of the army, more just auxilliary menials

coarse pumice
#

They’re not cool enough to be Nastase

storm jungle
#

Hes cringe.

#

And also retconned into a normal eldar thankfully

coarse pumice
#

Pariahs and oldcrons are way more cringe

#

Nastase is in a cheeky way

storm jungle
#

Pariahs are fucking cool

#

Oldcrons are just archaic boomers

celest dome
#

I like the concept of the Pariah, but I dislike how people look at Blanks due to it

storm jungle
#

They unfortunately dont really work with Newcrons anymore either since any necron would look down at another lord for fielding them for the most part

#

which i guess you can kind of explain away but still

coarse pumice
#

Pariahs are super special human-necron hybrids who are somehow ‘immune to the warp’ because they’re super special like some kind of coldsteel the hedgehog

storm jungle
#

Theres no "somehow"

#

they are blanks

#

And they just get converted to be troops

coarse pumice
#

Blank are a ‘somehow’

storm jungle
#

its not that glorified

#

Its Necrons. The guys who have wizards that can instantly turn you into gold and also have special anti-warp stone, them making this possible is not that far fetched

celest dome
#

They're not more special than Psyker in essence

storm jungle
#

^

#

like this is the first time im hearing someone compare them to Mary Sues

#

Pariahs never had a bigger role, they are just slave soldiers

green loom
#

Essence?

celest dome
#

I just dislike them being considered as a monolithic thing. Like Blanks aren't all on the same level, and shouldn't be from thr same reason/gene

storm jungle
#

Priestley's opinion doesnt matter

#

hes gone and blanks and their lore has expanded since without him

celest dome
#

Also if Blank have no soul, do Psyker have more souls ?

green loom
#

Sort of yeah

#

They're tastier for warp monsters

storm jungle
#

less "more souls" and more just tastier like Ed said yeah

#

they can be instantly torn apart like normal people, its just way more juicy

celest dome
#

Whose to say that it's not just a type of percentage, like a normal median soul is 50% warp/emotion and 50% other, Psyker would lean toward more Warp, and Blank more toward the other

storm jungle
#

to be fair thats literally what it is

#

the more psychic you are the more delicious your soul is

#

Basically imagine being in a buffet and seeing your singular favorite unique food among an entire room that is filled with french fries or something

#

thats pretty much how Daemons see it

#

🍟 a_khorn

green loom
#

It's usually described as a fire

#

Like for tau

#

Humans are a blaze, tau are an ember

near wasp
#

And psykers are an inferno

green loom

The more powerful, the more bright

storm jungle
#

for a daemon eating tau is like eating grass

sure its edible but its grass, its not the best compared to humans who are like proper "food"

Jurgen is a good example lol

i mean as contrasted with the current implementation. you should have some that are aware of it and react to it somehow

green loom

They're immune to the supernatural stuff

storm jungle

you can't be eg a khornite corrupted null?

storm jungle

like blanks are still human

#

its just "why bother" more than just being immune

terse flume
#

cause they're super op and u can use them against other demonic powers, i guess?

storm jungle
#

they arent really OP either

#

it entirely depends on your blank aura

#

some are Mary Sues exactly like some high level psykers

terse flume
#

right right they're power graded

storm jungle
#

some are just low level blanks

#

yeee

#

A worst part of being a blank is that some daemons can see where you are standing as a "black hole" of nothingness and try desperately to kill you

#

which is kinda bad when you are just some regular joe with normal firearms/weapons against literal hell monsters lol

Or run the hell away

which 40k faction is the best option for going on a date

queen laurel
# crystal forum which 40k faction is the best option for going on a date

the basic one would be imperium, the guy or lady will be pretty decent they don't see you as lower than them and you can find good topics, and you have options for factions

the tau are another good option they're pretty social they do things for the greater good and you know they are well, a good shot so you can go to the firing range I suppose

the eldar can be good but if you are not their kind they will probably look down on you

And for the other factions I don't see them being you know reasonable on a date

all traitor legions had loyalist elements

its the most realistic approach since you'll always have some loyal turncoats in any awful group or regime

a lot of the loyalist chunks of traitor legions got melted to soup on Istvaan or gunned down

Night Lords loyalists are the funniest to me KEKW_ogryn

winter vessel
#

Wait there is?

green loom
#

In the Knights Errant iirc

#

A librarian I think

storm jungle
#

Night Lords got a bit left in the dust because theres only so many legions you can add lore to with how much favoritism there was between some legions with the writers

#

But theres also nothing stopping you in the 30k tabletop from making Blackshield renegades from any legion as well so its pretty much supported still

green loom
#

Yarp

#

Isolated garrisons existed for every legion

#

Except Alpha Legion sort of because they're a horrible plot device that no one should like

arctic talon
#

every marine legion in HH can be either loyalist or traitor on tabletop

#

the books give recomendations on how you could play them that way iirc

terse flume
#

ehhh you might get some kind of crazy mass standardization of language with the technology we know from 40k

#

like presumably however they teach school, print books etc is all standardized

#

presumably every time you use an STP to make something it's gonna print in standardized languagwe

#

if most lil imperials learn from some kind of standardized cirriculum, idk, mass standardized textbooks etc, i bet you'd have one language and a million subdialects

arctic talon
#

We know that low gothic can change planet to planet heavily

#

So it isn’t standardized

#

The standardized languages of the imperium are high gothic and lingua technis

#

Both of which are reserved for the upper chunks of society to learn or even speak mostly

storm jungle
#

Also this is the Imperium

#

they misfile and lose an entire planet

#

theres no "standard" education

#

Its one part of the setting you arent really suppose to question because realistically imagining it would be a logistical nightmare lol

#

its why Black Library just forgoes any attempt to flesh out the Imperial language in books, even in games its all just english instead of alien-british gibberish

arctic talon
#

low gothic would be some horrific abomination of multiple east asian languages, latin and english according to the horus heresy books

#

and uh I have no clue how it would sound

#

but it sure as fuck isn't english lol

#

Author's note on language

"The common language of the Imperium is represented in this book by English, proper names have been rendered in an anglicised form. Many of the titles of ancient institutions and organisations are presented as Latinised English (such as the Adeptus Terra). This represents an older tongue, itself a development of Twentieth Century languages, not necessarily Latin as such."

#

also this from rogue trader

#

I feel is still very releveant to the topic of low and high gothic

storm jungle
#

It is but nobody really follows that anymore because none of the authors care

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

It’s also old as shit

summer rover
#

low gothic is "whatever humans are speaking in the setting" and doesn't have any one actual description. imperium doesn't care about ligual details so long as they maintain an understanding of high gothic so they can follow orders.

low gothic is just english
