Unrelated to the convo, but playing as tomb kings in warhammer 3 with kingdom hearts' halloween town theme is an experience
Lol
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
We live in spain without the A
It was a miss input
Too late

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
A slaanesh worshiper is literally going to do the worst thing possible to you
Yeah i didn't have that in mind but i also did keep an open mind to take an extra information about the god and yeah i find out he's a lot more interesting than the sex god
Slaanesh be like: "Pleasure. Excess. Going to the next stronger high! YOU CAN'T GET ENOUUUUGHHH!"
Fans: "lol segs"
this lol
This is why noise marines exist
Slaanesh is basically just Hellraiser
They like loud noises
Really loud ones
You can't corrupt me i do not really love pleasure
Very well then watch me delete your progress in deep rock galactic
Oh you motherfucker
-my conversation to the cultist
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
Yeah its just basic nonsense
people will never stop doing it
best to just ignore it
Yeah ignore it so good that you become fabius bile
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
Fabius bile feeds slaanesh by trying to perfect his craft
Dark Eldar literally only dress sexy because they are edgy yeah
and wanna show off
they are not gonna go on a date with you

I guess that explains why he's not tzeentch
https://youtu.be/38im-FxNZcM not just the dark eldar the other factions are not that good for a girlfriend either here's a video explaining
Don't ask, i have way too much free time

In this AI written warhammer humor episode, we go over why some ladies from 40k would make great girlfriends. Including a Tau Fire Warrior, a female Imperial Guardsman, an Eld...
do daemonettes count as girlfriends?
or like
both genders?
FUTA MOMMIES? sorry dont know what happened to me there
Well if you are into that sure go ahead who am i to stop you i'm just a fucking dumbass
i mean
if im into warhammer
and everyone is bad
i better go with the one that are horny-bad
(i was just joking, dont worry)
I've seen just about every type of you know "groups" in warhammer so don't worry i even if you are meaning it, i do not have enough power to care
nah just joking
Ah good to know
about the futa mommies tough, i will 100% join slaanesh if i have to pick sides on warhammer
like
if im gonna be bad
at least lets go full sex
Considering the state of the universe, Orks for me, it's totally not a biased decision by the way
yep, ive heard theyre actually happy
yeah, its then or the femboy god

Every part of the universe there is a fight, you get stronger by fighting, if you're bored just do something else to make you better at fighting, and you even reincarnate
And you died doing what you love
Dont you go to the warp when you die?
Yeah, Gork and Mork we'll just grab your ork soul and just yeet it inside another spore
and also my dilema is cause those man boobs are tempting me
right
didn't slaanesh become a femboy for a grey night
proof that some tastes go beyond the realm of the gods
Umm, does that explain why he looks like a deep rock galactic dwarf
Yes
They became a child
You can interpret that how you wish

I’m just repeating lore
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?

Also ease down on the horniness a bit please, this is a public server

ROCK AND STONE
femboys are mostly fine but dont go off mentioning other NSFW stuff too much
ok, i will


Ah Yes the horrors of meme chat

it didnt changed your personality at all
Yeah but i advice that you always keep that in mind, she might be the friendliest but she can probably send your membership to the server to the shadow realm
Wait, so in my case it would turn into the phisical manifestation of argentina with an stable economy and good polititians?
ok ok
Prolly someone capable of doing that
Also would prolly be your type
People be so down bad they wanna get flayed so they can get touched by something
I respect the grind
dude, the only reason dark eldar are sexy its cuss

when you try to skip on the bill so the barista takes the lattes you drank back by force
Why is nurgle so obsessed with numbers
the imperium clergy: the adeptus mechanicus will never be ballin-
the adeptus mechanicus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztzq05IzYds&ab_channel=Jacaranda
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
i kind of understand their plight though
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
becomes hard to believe that "the emperor protects" when you see all your mates die around you. that's what the preachers are for.
Even Cutthroat is bitter that there was no Emperor to protect Cadia when it fell
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
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
Yeah I saw a theory a while ago that the Tau are a bioengineered race and it lowkey kinda makes sense
Bioengineered i wouldn't say, Ethereal definetly got that warp fucky wucky through
Like, the imperium essentially look away for two seconds, look back, and the monkeys over the hill are suddenly space faring
Necrons are not
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
I mean it's like saying cawl is bioengineered
As he's more replacement part than flesh
Well yeah admech and necrons mirror each other as races
Anyhow for Eldar and Orks yeah, it's kind of their whole deal
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
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
Yall ready for another of my blindingly hot takes
But you know, warp storm, time dilation, yadda yadda
the literal race of blue fish people
They aren't daemons for one
Sounds like something a tzeentch daemon would tell you
I'm betting on the Ethereal being the latest project of a surviving Old One
This was part of the "manufactured Tau" theory I saw they said the Ethereals were remnants of the old ones
Which does check out they pretty much invented all of the other xenos
Well it's lss that they invented the other Xenos races and more that they uplifted some
Jokaero too no?
No
I'm paraphrasing when I saw invented
Jokaero were part of a race that was enemy with the Eldar afaik
Wiki says I'm right yall
Right on what, we just spewed 4 different things here lol
" | 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"
Which source is that from ?
Fandom, lexicanum says the same thing
Na that's true
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
if it's old but has never been contradicted then it's still canon.
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
All chaos gods are obsessed with numbers
its a reference to the Number of the Beast in christianity with the devil having his own cursed number
He does have his Tallymen, only Khorne also tend to count stuff
I am curious what was the last mention of Jokaero? Doesn't GW want to get rid of them?
I.. Just find some stuff in the lore a bit goofy 👀
Jokaero are mentioned in Darktide, that's pretty recent.
Jokaero are mentioned a lot, they arent getting retconned
they were also in blackstone fortress
also still got a mini on the shop
god I wish that were me
Oh, fr, how I could forget..
I've never heard the voiceline myself
but I saw a screenshot of it
theres like thousands so its normal lol
they mention pretty much also every alien race in the setting off-handedly
did it go along the lines abhumans something something and useful mutants or something
no really!!
NEVERMIND YOU MIND
AUGHHH MORROW GET OUT OF MY HEAD
stop asking!
idk what the context is but it's Agitator saying "They say that Jokaero art masters of strange technology. But dost that not maketh a mockery of the Mechanicus?"
or something to that effect.
Yeah, me too but I've definitely seen some screenshots or videos.
BTW, I've witnessed mentions of felinids a few times 
yeah they talk about Felinids sometimes and Ratlings a lot
I am a bit disappointed we haven't got any smol humans in darktide, considering Vermintide had dwarfs 
Death Guard do have a particular obsession with numerology, I don't know if it's the case in Fantasy with the followers of nurgle too
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?
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
made a reddit post of this one. thinking Furries are confirmed xd
or I may be talking out of my ass
they are a very background alien race
literally just orangutans but techheads
they are great
The Jokaero are an alien race, ape-like in appearance who are capable of tremendous technological and logical feats, and who also specialize in miniaturisation technology.[14]
Not a lot to read but they are awesome
LITERALLY the embodiment of Monke
MONKEY MEN
Death guard love getting 7's for a lot of rolls it either gives them a bigger bonus or an auto succeed, Thousand son's also like 9, World Eaters like getting 8 for bloodtide stuff
So it matters a lot
TLDR funny numbers matter on the tabletop
and also matter in lore more in 40k then fantasy or AoS
Ok, so, doesnt the imperium consider heresy the fact that the adeptus mechanicus worhsip other god that inst the emperor?
It does but the Imperium much like its rulers is filled with hypocrisy.
You cant judge the people that fix all your tech
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
They actually do also worship the emperor
They worship the omnissiah which the mechanicus says is the emperor
(This is a matter up for a ton of debate in universe)
right
TLDR admech says they worship the emperor
Alongside other stuff
Not everyone in the admech believes this
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
Dude i wonder who henry cavill will play on the amazon series
i hope is the emperor
Definetly not lol
ok
I believe that'd be called "Whitewashing"
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
Its is confirmed that ehnry cavill is working on a 40k series
Ye
Wait, inst the emperor white?
The emperor was/is kind of whatever the fuck he wants you to see him
He's from anatolia so no
His form isn't consistent
oh ok, sorry for not knwoing
in most art he's either very tan or brownish
Also what wolf said
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
ok ok, sorry for not knowing
i kinda supposed he was white, since everyone in warhammer seems to be from the UK
EVERYONE
GW forgor
there's
a lot of ethnicities in 40k
they just didn't get any old art
bcs again they're in england
(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)


That's... Debatable, but also the "Modern" Earth of 40k is nothing like ours anyway to begin with
So it's all moot
That
any modern nationality is gone
but the accents for sure are
Caucasoid White=/England
Also that
Also this
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
The Psykers
Alone, Abused, Possibly Insane.
Life in the 41st Millennium is rough for everybody. Between unceasing war, the ever-present possibility of heretical uprising, uncaring bureaucracy, xenos invasion and the thousand tiny horrors of living as a cog in a vast, callous machine, life expectancy isn’t the greatest.
But without doubt, psyke...
the weird glyphs you see during the data interrogator minigame
are part of the high gothic alphabet
Ye, same as how none of the Cultist graffiti are in English but all in the dark tongue
If I recall correctly
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
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
Also the thing people never talk about with the techno barbarians
Is that they were smart
Like
They weren’t anywhere near stupid
I mean, they did have proper empires after all
And surviving radiation mutated hellscape requires more than brawn lol
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
Tbf the fact their only art appearance was this didn't help
Ok, heres what you told me today about the omnisiah
for them
Yep
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)
if you don't count the smallest mace in the world it works
even through it's also a lot similar to modern imperial enforcer armour lol
I really wish we could see more glimpses of the old Human Empire before the Age of Strife.
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
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.
that's technically very possible lol
i mean the emperor was there for all human history basically
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.
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
Thanks, I'll check out those short stories for sure.
Cheers again for the helpful and lengthy reply.
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
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.
Good to know, thanks again.
And thank you as well for the help.
theres actually a lot to fill in for a video you just have to dig it up from pre-release material and ingame dialogue
not enough to understand anything, but still a lot.
I shall dig like a Krieger!
Just in case I'll try to drop you a bunch of info I compiled between tomorrow and the day after as I was kind of cataloging the lore surrounding the Moebian Domain in general for myself
Cheers mate, that would be a huge help.
Also this, there's a bunch of lore but it's really sparse and fragmented sadly
Don't forget the wormwood(?) Videos
Ye
I need sleep but I’m stuck thinking about a forge world that exclusively makes amsec and other alcoholic beverages
“By the omnissiah, this jack and Coke is the bomb”
Late to the party but the Jokaero weaponsmith is getting its own special datasheet for agents of the imperium iirc and its included as a main unit of that army
Fairly sure the weaponsmith model is going to be part of the agents of the imperium army they just made
it would be an aggri world no?
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||.
Though you were gonna say the ||Half Eldar SM||
As you see, those guys are just the equivalent ||of Illiyan Nastase but for the Necrons||
Nastase is back
He's just a regular farseer now
Argh, but I need to finish my backlog as I’ll need to get a box of guardians or something for the head
A shame agents of the imperium is not a real army lol

They really arent
Pariahs are also not really considered a part of the army, more just auxilliary menials
They’re not cool enough to be Nastase
I like the concept of the Pariah, but I dislike how people look at Blanks due to it
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
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
Blank are a ‘somehow’
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
They're not more special than Psyker in essence
^
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
Essence?
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
Priestley's opinion doesnt matter
hes gone and blanks and their lore has expanded since without him

Also if Blank have no soul, do Psyker have more souls ?
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
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
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
🍟 
And psykers are an inferno
The more powerful, the more bright
I also remember reading a great example with Tau
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"
they just don't have souls, they're basically p zombies?
like they have no internal qualia i guess? or like, the metaphysical equivalant?
They basically dissipate into nothingness when they die
every other species that understands the warp treats them exactly like eldrich horrors basically
its pretty sad actually
also yeah that lol
it either goes from
mild headache
Holy fuck get the fuck away from me
or literal head explosion if you are a psyker
they just wanna make friends
How did Bequin be a prostitute while being a blank ill never know
i think they missed a beat making blanks like inherently unlikable and sort of semifunctional yeah
Tbf, I have seen weirder fetishes in our time, I wouldn't be surprised
it would be more interesting if they were like, psychopathic manipulators, or otherwise occasionally exhibit real unwordly behaviour giving they don't have souls
like vampires or something
yeah because Eisenhorn books were AWHILE ago
they are the ones that mostly set up all this stuff
also nah tbh
being a blank shouldnt determine what you are
I like Jurgen
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
like they're also inherently immune to corruption right?
like that's weird, lol
They're immune to the supernatural stuff
Eh not really?
you can't be eg a khornite corrupted null?
cause they're super op and u can use them against other demonic powers, i guess?
they arent really OP either
it entirely depends on your blank aura
some are Mary Sues exactly like some high level psykers
right right they're power graded
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
depends but they'll mostly just try to kill you, daemons are not usually known for being too smart
Jurgen running into a random powerful sorcerer and gunning him and the daemon he summoned down
Boss needs his recaf





Wich is funny cause it's exactly what happens with the watchers
Except without the "please stand always at more than 5 meters from me thank you"
LETS FUCKING
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They did the whole "Tyranids were unstoppable.... but the SPACE MARINES did xyz......... hehe the Tyranids were unstoppabler"
rip my favorite blueberries
For real though tyranids need more wins
Even if i do not personally like them
Why does it look basically like a human with a weird head lol
it's the arms
Ayo
those are the most human arms they could've gone with
Ayo
nice new gebestealer sculpt
That gaunt looks like he just found the liverkings stash
I mean I like it
It looks pretty you know hive tyrant ish but it's not bad
I wanted it to be more monstrous
fair point
It doesn't look very outlandish
For something having a very very big reputation
ohh I understand you they could have given this thing more ridiculousness factor
I dont get people that like it
it really is a fucking hive tyrant with more crests
lol
This thing is supposed to be
A supernaturally stealthy Apex predator that swats custodes to death with its tail
And it's just an overloaded, worse designed swarmlord that's stupid top heavy
it's supposed to be stealthy?
that makes the design a lot less likeable for me then
Yeah
It snuck into the imperial command center on sanctum
Or whatever it's name was
it literally uh
And one hunted down and nearly assassinated Leontus, in the heart of imperial territory
flattened itself through ducts and massive alcoves
so you're telling me this hive tyrant size monster is supposed to be stealthy?
Yep lol
It's supposed to be absurdly powerful and stealthy
But this is just
A bigger, worse hive tyrant
a lot of things in 40k are "stealthy" despite being plainly not
And it's also hilariously overshadowed by everything else, especially the new lictor
OK now yeah i see your point
yeah take orks

i was thinking of marines but Orks count too
if i slap mona lisa to myself and i suddenly become invisible its funny
Huzza!
lol the GW video for the Emissary calls it a "Towering Assassin"
"Towering" is not something you want for an assassin
Its still a stealth mission is everybody who saw you dies
Literally me in any MGS game
looks at the raven guard
looks at the alpha legion
The Alpha Legion focus on deep cover/spying
yeah it's definitely not the most ridiculous stealth type
Look at Night Lord
The Raven Guard can literally Phase into shadows
looks at kommando's
Besides none of these are knight sized 
Or assassins
For that matter
Maybe Kommandos and AL
i mean was it ever stated that the emissary was that it was big?
More or less
Bigger by at least two heads
Wait til you see the old nids
The Trygon is kind of knight size
Was the same base as my wraithknight
Yes but the old had a much more uncanny/horrifying feel
That one looked like someone strapped a nid head to a catachan
Agree
i think im starting to see a theme lmao
nurolector nurgaunt

LMAO
New euro
Eurogants

Eurothrope
Euronids
neurovor
Euro Tyrants
Neurobeat
lmao god
if there is a nid army box that drops i might end up buying it lol
AAA-


Pov: you see the entire server helping out @storm jungle
Me when I want to play World of Warcraft
Is the khan loyal or does he just think it’s funny to dunk on chaos wit da boys?
He’s loyal but he hates the emperor
And the imperium
Odds are he would have gone full renegade if he stuck around
As cool as primarchs and his chapter are
In the heresy he goes like
Free range khans
I don’t think they would survive being alone
I hate you but I hate literal hell more
Yeah
"I was leaning either way but y'all are dicks"
Doesn't help that they sent Mortarion to talk with him 
Also his legion sorta broke into civil war lol
Until he got back and told them to sit down
Wow they gave termegaunts their special weapons back
thats a blast from the past lol
Idk
They have had faces for a long time now
Rippers are the smaller bugs
also gaunts/gants always had faces lmao
lower right of the termagant pic, there's some rippers included with...teragant faces
How big is Ultramar?
Pretty big
Ultramar was 500 planets last I checked?
Yeah that's what I don't get, I figure they'd be near Macragge and wouldn't extend over a massive portion of the Eastern Fringe
It's technically 5 sectors worth of space
Wich makes you think at the importance of stuff like the Moebian Domain spanning 3 sectors
(aka we are 200 planets shy of being as big as ultramar)
(also considering the canon size of a sector, the domain spans 600 light years of space while ultramar 1000)
so a random thought just popped up in my head. is it possible for someone to end up duplicated if the gellar fields fail during a warp jump?
Oh is this the updated map? The tau empire is bigger
Basically anything is possible
Gellar field failures cause any sort of paranormal activity to happen
it helps when you are a writer and can come up with anything for it lol
lmao
Like theres been one example which inspired a meme from one book i read
Where a guy hears his friend call to him during Warp Travel down to a side room
except that his friend died in a campagin 2 months ago

damn
yeah its great lmao
there was that ork who travelled back in time, killed his past self, and took his favourite gun so he could have two...
What did they do to my beautiful biovore's scrotal cannon
?
yeah but i was more thinking something like that one star trek TOS episode where the transporter malfunctoned and made a clone of Kirk
i caved in and bought the leviathan box
for some reason a game store was selling it for 50$ less than GW
They castrated him
There’s huge overstock rn which is a good thing
So some places are putting it at the maximum discount for boxes like that
That GW does
yeye. the starter editions give you less overall troops so i decided to screw it and skip the dice and rulers i can get for 1$
Yeah
All the kits in that box are so good
And they’re pretty easy to put together
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
don't ask how I know this alright
If its 40k then one of them will definitely turn out to be The Changeling
alright im back to bug you guys for some wisdow. Is there any appropriate "filler" text I can use for the zealot wrap text & purity seal text? I was going to just Lorem Ipsum it or throw some 40k text through a random "latin translator" or something just to get some text but it would be fun to pick something fitting
Bee Movie script, translated to Latin
mankids greatest treasure
The ones actually used on cosmetics like that is passages from Eisenhorn and other Dan Abnett books lmao
someone analyzed/compiled it awhile ago
Based?
Basically anything in fake latin can work
or that yeah
It’s the receipts for all the flamers and thunder hammers they purchased.
remember that high gothic isn't actually latin so you can just make shit up
nobody can stop you or fact check you
Also for some reason every species can understand gothic
Yeah because you have to take into account
Technically we shouldn't understand it
- Every imperial world would realistically have its own language
And yeah that
but like
I like to think that it does
I know uh, the heretic saint I forgot her name
if GW doesnt bother why should you do
Can speak eldar
Ephrael?
if its Stern yeah shes.. something
To be fair her best friend is an eldar
Isn't she also a Psyker
Kinda
I like stern but for gay reasons
Low gothic is not a language no ? But a multitudes of local ones ?
I like to think Low Gothic is local dialects
Low Gothic is basically just a common language the Imperium uses for its low citizens
+accents
Oh yeah gothic is a theocratic language
its just basic english basically
Saint being a subset of Psyker is a way of looking at it, as there are some Psyker power that sorta make you think of it
I like Celestine for unrelated gay reasons
No it's German, cause it's Space Reikspiel which is Fantasy German 
Idk why I imagine it’s German
💀
at least with fantasy its simpler lmao
Have to channel my inner Gastarbeiter to speak it
Same
Was the Anchorite affiliated with the Word Bearers?
He's a former word bearer yeah, a loyalist
Wow that is the rare instance I’ve ever learned of a loyalist from the Traitor Legion W.B .
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
Yeee
I figured after the burning of Monarchia everything was set in stone for the WB being totally hateful to the Imperium
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 
Wait there is?
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
Yarp
Isolated garrisons existed for every legion
Except Alpha Legion sort of because they're a horrible plot device that no one should like
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
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
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
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
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
It is but nobody really follows that anymore because none of the authors care
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.
💀
Characters talking and understanding each other is just a part of media for the most part. Hard to have a coherant story when nobody can understand each other
I think family therapy would have stopped the horus heresy ngl
I think if big e picked up a copy of parenting for dummies it would of stoped the heresey
bri'ish
Gothic isn’t English it’s British 
i saw a battle report with an astra militarum army with cool kitbashed units
a hellhound with external fuel drums
theres quite a few minis of it tho the guy could have had any lol
i guess he had that first one
that second one with the huge drum is the kind of thing i'd draw as a 8 year old kid
in fact i have a drawbook i had as a kid that i wish i had access to right
sadly my interest in drawing never went past stick figures 😔
idk why models are becoming more "realistic"
realistic as in?
just look at the rogal dorn. that thing isn't even that over the top
Its basically a WW2 tank but bigger
it's just a regular tank but large
Do they? The Primaris vehicles feel more like toys, imho
Dorn just has no character i agree
i want 40k to remain stupid
And not in a good way 😬
they look like they're modernized vehicles
like if you told me to draw a leman russ from memory id have a rough outline in 2 minutes
the Dorn i literally have to google
it literally looks like GW execs asked the artist to not be too original
i wouldn't be surprised if they originally wanted the dorn to replace the leman russ because it's more "realistically" sized for its crew size
the tracks look so similar
Well, the Dorn looks better. Still silly, but better
i disagree
I don't like the Russ.
The Russ imho looks like the designer didn't care.
the current russ turret looks so wonky with how tiny it is. the commander hatch is right behind the main gun so it looks like the breech is non existent
So many guns
harkens back to early WW2 american tank design
Not just the turret. The small tracks, the high profile, the positions of access hatches, the calibre of the gun etc.
yes it's stupid and that's what i like about it
also it has side hatches
i really like how ridiculous militarum armoured doctrine is
they have WW1 era design inspiration with WW2 era mobility but they also use modern IFV's
i fucking love the idea that the taurox has 4 engines because of the tracks
Yes. The Chimera feels like a design that's at least somewhat plausible. Very Bradley "inspired"
i like the detail of the guardsmen providing extra firepower with their own weapons
Just like brad
it's the kind of semi bullshit design that was thought up in 1960's era armoured vehicle designs
if the chimera was realistic though it'd have integrated ATGM launchers lol
That's saved for primaris foot soldiers
I think it wasn't their on weapons in the earlt chimera designs. Firing ports with special rifles were also a thing of the M2 Bradley
it was but im pretty sure that those firing ports werent in the design past its initial models
its less that and more just the designers back then realised adding 21st century stuff like that to Imperium vehicles doesnt make them dieselpunk or gothic as much
you do get them on foot-troops at least
Nowdays Primaris vehicles have almost all of that stuff
and it looks very bad lol
They have way too many guns lol
They look like cheap transformer toys from the 80s. Boxy with tons of guns
oh my god
It would look so much better
Hench is right
firing ports put vulnerabilities in the armour and it compromises the vehicle against CBRN threats
All we're missing is ERA
This is consistant with old land speeder designs tbf
So like
It’s not the source of it lol

Oh that is tho
oh wait
I hope we get more Guard vehicles
i read that as "raider" instead of "speeder"
got the 6 heavy bolter array
fucking Arkhan Land
The fuck is that melta gona do
Land's speeder
💀
I’ll one up you with this.
Landsraad
It’s Land’s assault speeder
Oh wait
Get it right
Wrong setting
SMH
Needs more bolters
And knowing 40k, this wouldn’t be the most absurd thing you’d see in battle
Lol
According to my Twitter feed
The most absurd thing you'd see in battle, is a woman
This one is fine imo
Someone actually had a model
For primaris vehicles
Lmfao
i think
Darktide should be lore
Best part is I’m 99% sure those are all extra sprues
the only space marine mini i wish that would just die is this:
like
this is actually
a fucking toy
starscream lookin' ass
i feel like it would have LEDs on the barrels and some shitty little speakers
This thing is awful
I hate it
The speaker emit incredibly garbled voicelines from an old children's telephone, and stock gun sounds from a 70s movie
Police brutality bus
It literally looks like
i guess its the dudes on the back
A bunch of enforcers would hop out
you pull a string on the back to play the noises
And beat the shit out of someone
This is just a straight up brick
Its fine
Personally, I like that one. The passanger part an inch longer, and it might even look nice
That one is fine
this would be better as a Guard vehicle imo
like
why would admech have this
a fucking D-Day lander
The floating rims is like off putting for me.
Everything would be better as a guard vehicle
yeah
It’s a grav tank
this is the same mfer that named a newly discovered Knight weapon after himself
