i hate how ai shit has made me suspicious about a specific kind of art style

median marsh
#

even my awful ass drawings are more art than anything AI will ever make

green loom
urban spire
#

every time i see something drawn in a certain style i immediately look at the fingers, look at the background elements

median marsh
#

Ai cannot make eyes either

arctic talon
#

It’s easy to catch

keen stratus
#

okay i have to make a confession, my pfp is AI generated, but i never paid for AI, and i think that getting money out of AI is innmoral, and should be illegal

arctic talon
#

If there’s meant to be text

green loom
#

I don't care about it as much as I despise the people promoting it like mad

median marsh
#

using ai doesnt make you an awful person

old junco

keen stratus

BARDIN BEST CHARACTER

green loom
#

I've had mine since drawing this

urban spire
#

keen stratus

Lol, LMAO

keen stratus
#

green loom

That's some excessive seasoning fr fr

keen stratus
#

this seems like something thatll give me pleasure

old junco
#

so who here would willingly live in 40k times

keen stratus
#

#

if it is rather slaanesh or tzeentch im all in

#

or maybe khorne

#

but the rest of factions are shit

green loom
#

Like factory wages suck here but at least we still have factory wages and won't just work in one until we die at 25

keen stratus
#

there are veteran sharpshooters

#

that means

#

veteran

#

they should live longer than that

green loom
#

The factory will kill you before long

#

But guard don't work in factories

old junco
#

pain me when im a veteran guardsman and get sent to a hive fleet planet or necron tomb world

keen stratus
#

yeah

#

thats why we should all go full slaanesh

languid salmon
#

Why, so you get eaten alive/ turned into a musical instrument because your fellow cultists find it fun?

keen stratus
#

thats what you should be scared of

languid salmon
#

Are you sure about that?

keen stratus
#

yes

#

cause honestly

#

if i have to get fucked so be it

#

boredoms the worst pain

storm jungle
keen stratus
#

see

#

this guys understands me

keen stratus
#

since were talking about slaanesh

#

it could have been worse

green loom
#

I'm not usually this slaanesh-focused, I've just had a bad week frowncat

keen stratus
#

a good week

#

depends on how you see it

green loom

#

"The Watcher in the Rain" is one intense WH40K audio drama

storm jungle
#

its genuinely great

versed ledge
#

Yup, embodies how screwed up the Imperium really is

#

How society can be

#

🤡

storm jungle
#

We really do live in a society

#

also cannibalism moment

green loom
#

I'm going to eat you

#

Like a good blood angels fan

storm jungle
versed ledge
#

Just what is the watcher though?

arctic talon
#

Omophagia hungry

arctic talon
versed ledge
#

It's a warp entity, but who

arctic talon
#

Prolly a minor one

#

Unassociated with the gods

versed ledge
#

A warp entity that gaslight for funsies

arctic talon
#

Yep

versed ledge
#

Finally, the only good guy in 40k, Unbearable Guilt

storm jungle
#

its definitely one of my fav stories

#

the ending is also hilarious

versed ledge
#

The actions of one came back to literal eat them in the ass

storm jungle
#

karma is a bitch

arctic niche
#

The lil' Dark Angels xenos squires

versed ledge
#

Nah, the watcher from "The Watcher in the Rain"

arctic niche
#

Warp entity

versed ledge
#

Hope we get to see more of that warp entity

arctic niche
#

Not every warp entity is a daemon, some are but not called daemons, such as Celestine or Legion of the Damned, then ya got neutral non-daemonic warp entities like Gork n Mork, T'au Empire's humans creating the Greater Good in the warp, arguably the Emperor, some loyalist primarchs(Corax)

versed ledge
#

Would love to see that thing just gaslighting entire planets into madness, or go full silent hill mode with guilt and trauma

versed ledge
#

I forget, the deceiver is one of the necrontyr gods or just another name for our favorite prince of excess

#

Well, chat is dead, back to tormenting an AI commissar

arctic niche
#

Cegorach, Deceiver, and Watcher all having a good laugh while they torment any faction they think would be funny enough to see fumble

#

Tzeentch joins in with a case of beer

storm jungle
arctic niche
# versed ledge I forget, the deceiver is one of the necrontyr gods or just another name for our...

Deceiver is the C'tan who tricked all the Necrons into giving up their souls and flesh to become machine men, tricked the other C'tan into cannibalizing each other, has destroyed many blackstone fortresses, a C'tan's weakness, is believed to be planning to trick younger races of the galaxy into marching into soulforges, lured the Alpha Legion by pretending to be Omegon to make more pylons to close the warp rift, and is bartering intel with Trazyn on how to enter the Great Rift

#

He's a very busy bee

#

Did I mention the lil' shit was only stopped because Trazyn turned Orikan into a beacon of light to absolutely body his C'tan shard then imprison the C'tan in his archives to feed energy inexchange for information.

versed ledge
arctic niche
#

You want a fun dude, read on Trazyn, he is a fun dude.

crisp heath
#

AFAIK there's really no evidence Celestine is a daemon except that Greyfax assumes she is one

#

But Greyfax is a try hard puritan who is usually wrong

#

Equally likely that her faith alone is powerful enough to guide her out of the warp and back into a body

#

Or Emps just has a crush on her and is save scumming so his waifu doesn't die

#

I was always under the impression Wyrmwood was the guard squad from the trailer

#

Thankens

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

I mean and also the angel wings she can manifest whenever she wants

arctic talon
#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

The real problem is Greyfax has a huge crush on her so she manifests it as hating her

#

Senpai Celestine

#

It’s not like I wanted you to save Cadia

#

Ba-Baka

storm jungle
#

Goddamn

#

thats actually a REALLY good theory holy shit

#

because its very clearly a male body with a female voice too

#

Im kinda having shellshock from how much this theory makes sense

#

they tend to be sometimes really far fetched/stupid

#

but this oof

#

Yeah I was gonna say her just haunting the place after the daemon forcibly absorbed her would make sense

#

it makes sense for the cult to do something like this too

#

Oh the purple guys are the Water Cartel they aren't much on anything

#

the yellow rag cultists/dregs are the real perpetrators

#

according to Miguel Iglesias (the main concept GW artist for the game) they are mutants that were shunned and went to the deepest parts of Tertium as exiles

dusk patrol
#

It would make sense too how she talks

storm jungle
#

Yeah like

#

i never got why its begging for the Emperor to protect her

dusk patrol
#

Always being the same “person”

storm jungle
#

i just assumed it was bait

#

like it ALL actually lines up

dusk patrol
#

It could still be but yeah

storm jungle
#

Yeah the game tells you none of this

#

so i dont blame your ignorance

#

you arent autistic like me

dusk patrol
#

Abnett writes a shitton of background lore

#

FS: yeah we’ll do uh

#

Some cutscenes

#

Where they say you’re shit

#

And that’s it

#

Give us a codex or something please

storm jungle
#

Abnett was the general background person yeah, we got 8 other Black Library that did everything else.

storm jungle
#

legit hated it when they all end, I wanted more 😩

green loom
#

#soon I hope

storm jungle
#

that mixed with some amogus plot

green loom
#

I will will it

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

That’s kinda funny

#

I guess

storm jungle
#

thats legit hilarious

dusk patrol
#

Some vague connection

storm jungle
#

Yeah

#

go to the Commissary

#

shes the new shopkeep

dusk patrol
#

She’s also there if you check before

storm jungle
#

yeah thats when shes human

dusk patrol
#

Before she gets Rannicked

green loom
#

It's like poetry, it rhymes

storm jungle
#

Oh my god she has voicelines

green loom
#

My favourite

#

Is

#

"Yeah Yeah Praise the Emperor, or whatever"

storm jungle
#

Its really cool

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

Yeah most people got no idea most servitors are innocent victims

#

this case though ill allow

dusk patrol
#

I mean she’s collaborating with Chaos while on an Inquisition ship

#

Like

#

She was never gonna last long anywhere anyways

storm jungle
#

YOU SAW HER FUCKING ROOM, ITS LITERALLY A NURGLE COLLEGE DORM

dusk patrol
#

They’re not sending their best

storm jungle
#

also you say this when shes literally leaving a scene just as its being interrogated or just standing literally out i nthe open

#

like you dont need to be an Interrogator to know whos the traitor

dusk patrol
#

I feel like Rannick knew like immediately but he liked keeping the suspense

#

Made it more fun around the shop

storm jungle
#

I agree

dusk patrol
#

“Ooooo who could be the traitor!”

storm jungle
#

its even funnier when you are the ogry

#

"Hm yes whos the traitor, the moron ogryn or this zealot"

dusk patrol
#

It’s hilarious as Ogryn

storm jungle
#

Also like

#

when she gets accused, the Ogryn giving the most "welp" blank stare

dusk patrol
#

“WHO COULD BE THE MASTERMIND?!”

storm jungle
#

In a BL book you bet they'd make it the ogryn

dusk patrol
#

I don’t even think an Ogryn could have setup that ritual

#

Way too delicate

storm jungle
#

Oh yeah unless it was like a smart one

#

which already is literally non-existant in lore

#

mostly because uncreative writers

dusk patrol
#

Even then their hands are the size of dinner plates

storm jungle
#

"Who could have made handprints this big."

#

every other ogryn on the mourningstar:

green loom
#

GOT IT

#

Wonder who it is hmm

storm jungle
#

lmaooo

#

man i wish all my 5 slots werent filled

dusk patrol
#

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss

storm jungle
#

Nah it deffo is

#

like its not a stretch as say like

green loom
#

I likes my psyker

storm jungle
#

"WALTER WHITE IS ACTUALLY IN THE WALKING DEAD"

arctic talon
#

The daemon host wyrmwood thing is cool

#

I am a fan

storm jungle
#

agreed lmao

#

its deffo fitting so we'll see

#

Wyrmwood has been fucking on the run for like a year now

arctic talon
#

That guy in the Melk cutscene like

#

Absolutely gets fucking killed lol

storm jungle
#

props to this guy for getting all these voicelines

#

most of them are non-existant on youtube

green loom
dusk patrol
storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

I will now pretend I came up with it

#

It’s mine now

#

He stole it from me

arctic talon
#

The brunt cutscene?

dusk patrol
#

Smell this gas

green loom
#

Gaslight the 40k mods

dusk patrol
#

Lol

green loom
#

They will all bow to your theory

arctic talon
#

Yeah it’s great

dusk patrol
#

They’re great

storm jungle
#

also

#

we actually get to see the fucking outside of Tertium for once

dusk patrol
#

Also it’s not just “SO YOURE THE NEW GUY EH?!”

#

“MOST OF YOU DIE”

#

“IM BEING A MEANIE”

#

“BYE”

green loom
#

I think one of the new interactions is like

dusk patrol
#

Rinse and repeat for every character

green loom
#

"No clue how long I've been here"
"Does Melk know your name?"
"No, why?"
"He doesn't bother until you've been around for at least 3 months"

arctic talon
#

Lol

storm jungle
#

lmaooo

dusk patrol
#

I will say at least the people around the hub start to treat you a little better as time goes on

#

Slightly

arctic talon
#

Ostog

#

Or whatever his name is

#

Always says good luck now lol

#

Instead of being a dick

storm jungle
green loom
#

I'd be angry as welll if I had to permanently stand on stiff guard duty on a smelly ship

dusk patrol
#

The stormtroopers also comment about how you’re actually kinda cool now

storm jungle
#

Yeah or just ask you to take you out on a mission with them

#

its adorable

dusk patrol
#

And Rannick just does the

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

He just fucking stares down from his balcony

dusk patrol
#

Peasants

arctic talon
#

Rannick observing

storm jungle
#

like uh

#

in the Ascension Riser mission

arctic talon
#

A drill sergeant?

green loom
#

I hope we get access to the pub before long

storm jungle
#

he says he vouched to Grendyl for you

dusk patrol
#

Morrow is Steel Legion so he can do whatever he wants

arctic talon
#

Ah

storm jungle
#

which is legit gigachad

green loom
#

Vinny is quite based yeah

storm jungle
#

and does the whole "Please dont let me down you dumbasses"

arctic talon
#

You wana know who’s a dick for 0 reason 24/7

dusk patrol
#

He’s an asshole but he’s on your side still

#

Hadron is uh

#

Hadron

arctic talon
#

Hadron happyflag

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

She’s old though

arctic talon
#

Vincent Morrow

#

Excuse me?

green loom
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

ITS IN IMBD

green loom
#

It's listed on the IMDB page

storm jungle
#

GO AND LOOK

arctic talon
#

HOLY SHIT

storm jungle
#

Yeah exactly lmao

dusk patrol
#

So he’s a Sgt but tbh

#

He’s high up in the retinue

#

Ranks aren’t as important

green loom
#

I mean we have like what

arctic talon
#

He’s in charge of all of us losers

green loom
#

A company or something

dusk patrol
#

He could probably tell a general what to do if it came to that

green loom
#

He's subordinate to Rannick, who's probably head honcho of the warband proper

#

Also

dusk patrol
#

Since he’s with the Inquisition now

green loom
#

We are in an inquisition warband

#

So ranks

dusk patrol
#

Just depends

green loom
#

Don't exactly work the same

storm jungle
#

For us it kinda does

#

we are Operatives/Agents

#

so just at the bottom

#

but still just goons

arctic talon
#

Melk always treats you somewhat badly

#

As far as I can tell

storm jungle
#

Hadron literally only gets away

#

because

arctic talon
#

Even if he “likes” you

storm jungle
#

"omg dommy techpriest mommy"

green loom
#

He treats all my guys well

storm jungle
#

even tho she looks like a fucking rotted potato

arctic talon
#

Bro she is literally going to hack your legs off

storm jungle
#

HAVE YOU PEOPLE SEEN HER FACE UP CLOSE???

#

Lmao you and a lot of people

arctic talon
#

She doesn’t have synth skin on her face lol

#

Like a lot of priests

storm jungle
#

yeah its literally fucking bulging rotted skin

green loom
arctic talon
#

I like all the characters in the hub tbh

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

They’re like

#

All great

dusk patrol
#

Raisin fetish is a thing

#

I guess

storm jungle
versed ledge
#

In a very different game and setting, the daemon host would be a victim.

dusk patrol
#

Cyborg raisin*

versed ledge
#

Instead she's a world of trouble

dusk patrol
#

I just like Hadrons voice

#

She’s got some funny lines

green loom
#

The host part of a daemon host generally isn't really willing

arctic talon
#

Big suprise

dusk patrol
#

Depends but yeah

#

Also, there’s comments on how unwilling hosts are more powerful or better for some things like that

#

Cause uh….yeah

storm jungle
#

Yeah some literally allow to chain themselves down and go "Aight boys get that daemon in me we are doing this for the gods"

dusk patrol
#

Don’t need to expand on that but yeah

storm jungle
#

others are "LEMME OUT"

arctic talon
#

The darktide one does not seem to be having a good time

#

With how she’s talking lol

green loom
#

I assume more of the host's willpower is eroded/broken by the more forced process or something like that

dusk patrol
#

Toxic af smh

arctic talon
#

Don’t poke her then smh

versed ledge
#

She's like that ex you can't stop bumping into

#

I get it

dusk patrol
#

“You invaded my personal bubble, so genocide is the only option”

#

Omg she’s a Twitter user

#

At least she’s a lazy Daemonhost

versed ledge
#

Worst, a redditor

dusk patrol
#

Only kills two people

green loom
#

She's me in meme chats

arctic talon
#

Okay but unironically why do people think Hadron is hot

#

I don’t get it

green loom
#

Where if the local Imperium memester gets too close I bludgeon them to death

arctic talon
#

She’s like over 50% metal at this point

versed ledge
#

Robosexuals maybe?

arctic talon
#

The lore on them indicates they’re part of grendyls warband

dusk patrol
green loom
#

Both, sorta
They're like minor background/flavour text stuff

arctic talon
#

In some capacity

dusk patrol
#

Maybe a bit toooo much

green loom
#

So like

versed ledge
#

Maybe

green loom
#

It'll always be themed with the setting in mind

dusk patrol
#

The dommy mommy degens

versed ledge
#

But she sounds like a grandma that smokes 2 packs a day

arctic talon
#

There’s some krieg in Grendyls warband

green loom
#

Not really huge, but very varied

dusk patrol
#

Idk I like her voice

arctic talon
#

Grendyls retinue is very irregular

dusk patrol
#

Not like that

arctic talon
#

With how like

#

Large it is

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

It’s strangely big

dusk patrol
#

It’s very unorthodox

green loom
#

Tbf

arctic talon
#

It’s a great idea

dusk patrol
#

Using so many rogue psykers too

#

Is really really weird

green loom
#

The warband itself is mostly just a fkn penal legion lmao

versed ledge
#

Why does an inquisitors even have a large army in the first place?

arctic talon
#

But also like it’s a ticking time bomb lol

arctic talon
#

Disposable assets

dusk patrol
#

I’m very curious if we’re ever gonna actually meet Grendyl

green loom
arctic talon
#

Doubt it personally

versed ledge
#

Doubt it

dusk patrol
#

What I don’t want is “omg it was actually this person the whole time”

arctic talon
#

Agreed

#

That would fucking suck

#

So much

green loom
#

It's likely the warband proper is everyone we see in the level 30 cutscene

dusk patrol
#

Just make it some dorky old dude or something funny

arctic talon
#

it’s Hallowete

green loom
#

So like 30-50 people

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

It’s Eisenhorn

green loom
#

And everyone else is disposable chaff

arctic talon
green loom
#

It's also probably

#

That a lot of Rannick's men

#

Are just the PDF obeying him

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

The Moebian pdf also is being ordered around by Rannick

green loom
#

Like you see on levels that the soldiers fighting aren't in red and black, they're in a light grey/teal and blueish black

dusk patrol
#

Rannick runs the general operations it seems

#

And he defers to Morrow and others for organization stuff

arctic talon
#

They do

#

The pdf needs to keep the heretics contained

#

We’re being inserted as small strike teams

storm jungle
# arctic talon Okay but unironically why do people think Hadron is hot

So speaking as a relatively That Kind of person that is into some characters like this, Hadron is a case where the Warhammer fandom is largely populated by guys and they always get horny over authority figures like Female Inquisitors, Sororitas or in this case Female Techpriests.

Also she kinda ties into a bit of the whole thing some men have with nuns/robes where theres a lot hiding what a person looks like underneath it and the fact that she talks down and is mean to you gets a lot of people riled up, her voice is also a middle-aged woman's so that plays into it severely too especially if you put into perspective some lines she has like "Go, kill some heretics. Good varlet."

The problem is, Hadron is attractive from a distance to most people, she is literally a rotten faceless mess and I think people just see her EXTREMELY pristine human hand and assume shes a pretty lady underneath when thats not the case at all."

green loom
#

Well the investigation is mostly done, we just need to snuff them out
Bad news is they've got a full rebellion in swing

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Honestly there’s nothing left to investigate for us really

green loom
dusk patrol
#

We’re fairly “elite” prisoners who were found useful enough to uh

arctic talon
#

It’s purging and containment now

dusk patrol
#

Give a second chance

storm jungle
#

lmao np

#

its literally just "I wanna see what she looks like under that"

dusk patrol
#

Idk why everyone gotta be so horny all the time smh

green loom
#

In fairness there's not a lot left to the imagination for Sisters in particular smarf

green loom
storm jungle
#

Lmao facts

green loom
#

Nah we onions

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

I wonder if Hadron has just thought of dragging some of the conscripted prisoners away lol

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

For servitorization

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

They’d be more effective after

versed ledge
#

Would love to see a sequel of the series but it plays like tarkov with zombies and daemons

#

Escape from Atoma

arctic talon
#

Gun servitor at least can shoot stuff

dusk patrol
#

It would be funny if bots

#

Were servitors

arctic talon
#

Tbf if we shot Zola we would have died on that ship

arctic talon
#

The judge knows high gothic

#

They’re just shit at it

versed ledge
#

What if we joined Chaos

dusk patrol
#

The Ogryns are prodigies by Ogryn standards

arctic talon
#

Absolutely lol

versed ledge
#

Those guys seemed like they were up for new recruits

arctic talon
#

The Agitator doesn’t seem to actually know high gothic

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Ironically

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Loner Psyker prolly knows it based on how they talk about it

#

Everyone else is unclear

#

I doubt the ogryn know high gothic

dusk patrol
#

Wow

#

Discrim-…discrimin-…discree-…commissah he’s being mean!

arctic talon
#

Tbf if I heard about all of a sudden there being better space marines as a guardsmen I don’t think I’d believe it

dusk patrol
#

Medi- Medicah, medie, medicae station!

#

The guardsmen seem aware of CSM

arctic talon
#

Which one of the veterans always gets the callouts wrong

#

And which one always gets them right

#

I forgor

dusk patrol
#

The not Kruber one gets them right I think

#

Probably sounds too good to be true

#

Too much like propaganda

versed ledge
#

In all honesty I'm just glad there's no traitor Astartes

arctic talon
#

Cut throat was off world when the fall happened

versed ledge
#

Do you guys think we would survive against a millennia old daemon air pissing Astartes?

dusk patrol
#

CSM would be hard to make feel good imo

#

Can’t be too strong can’t be too weak

arctic talon
#

Okay so what the fuck is a sigma majoris

versed ledge
#

Can an average human even take it down?

dusk patrol
#

But it’s a long shot

arctic talon
#

Minoris is a plague dog

#

So what the fuck would majoris be

storm jungle
#

I dont think theres any?

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

even a daemonhost is a Malefic Threat

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Sigma majoris would maybe just be a bigger daemon dog lol

arctic talon
#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

Or infected “wildlife”

arctic talon
#

I know the daemon host and beast of nurgle are both omega minoris

#

Beast being 77(get it 7)

#

And I forgot the daemon hosts

#

But I’d assume omega majoris is reserved for like

#

Greater daemons

Why does the merry band know so much about random factoids that aren't common knowledge?

#

Especially about how void ship start up

arctic talon
#

Idk maybe they’re curious

#

And curiosity didn’t kill the cat this time

jade holly
#

So what classifies as Chaos Marines?

#

Any SM group that follows one of the four gods?

green loom
#

They're space marines, but moderaly spikier

versed ledge
#

Yup, and that looks butt ugly or smells like a sewage with corpses

jade holly
#

So Death Guard

arctic talon
jade holly
#

Idk why but I feel like I need to have a favorite Loyal group of SM and a favorite Heretical group of SM

green loom
#

The Veterans are, well, Veterans

#

You've got the Cadian vet, locals etc.

#

They've likely seen their share

#

I mean the Cadian vet was present at the Fall so KEKW_ogryn

#

He's more or less on an inquisition kill list if we're being real

jade holly
#

Idk who’s cooler between Salamanders and Imperial Fists

#

On one hand one is compassionate with humanity and green, and the other is yellow

#

I’m not a fan of yellow

#

But I do love me some beef defense

green loom
#

They're compassionate

#

Until they aren't

#

Whoops wrong one

jade holly
#

I mean yeah

jade holly
#

Xenos deserve it for the curse of being born

queen laurel
jade holly
#

Also weren’t those Kriegers corrupted?

queen laurel
#

Which means yeah our rejects during their wartime has seen some space marines

green loom
jade holly
#

I want a massive multiplayer moba style game where you have a team of loyalist marines fight a team of heretical marines

#

DoW is Warhammer?

queen laurel
jade holly
#

I played Smite for nearly a decade now

#

I doubt Dawn of War is on Xbox tho

#

Figured Sitgryn

#

I just wanna play a Sally Mally man

queen laurel
jade holly
#

I mean a battlefield style Warhammer game could also go hard

versed ledge
#

Out of the four, who would you guys shoot, the psyker, the priest, the guardsman, or the oggies?

queen laurel
jade holly
#

Oggies are cool I love hearing the priests shout

versed ledge
#

Psyker, especially the one that sounds insane

storm jungle
jade holly
queen laurel
storm jungle
#

yeee

green loom
#

A 40k Battlefield game would almost definitely feature space marines

jade holly
#

Ngl the only personality of a SM I really know is a Blood Raven because of the meme voice

#

and I have no idea where that voice is from

#

Wait did I say that SM group’s name right?

green loom
#

No they're actually the blood marines

#

I kid

storm jungle
#

hes joking

storm jungle
green loom
#

That or diomedes

jade holly
#

If you cold pull any character from any IP into Warhammer who would you bring into it?

jade holly
#

Which one

#

Toho or Monsterverse?

#

or shin

#

Or Heisei

queen laurel
versed ledge
queen laurel
#

The one that's like a tree

jade holly
#

The like 900 foot tall one?

queen laurel
#

Yeah

#

That one

jade holly
#

I’d bring in Doomslayer

#

Just to see what happens

#

Damn I killed chat

queen laurel
green loom
#

It's also like 3 am

dusk patrol
#

No no

#

Let him rest in his failure

#

His destruction

plush mason
#

so do the mindshackle scarabs make just make people mindless?

#

because none of the ones i have seen in the pariah nexus show have been armed and just try to beat people to death

dusk patrol
#

Not always

thick cedar
#

How much spare time or time off "duty" do our rejects get

versed ledge
#

Do they get to even do soldiery off duty things like getting drunk and hitting the local red light districts to add to the population after deleting so many from it?

#

Wait...what do oggies, priests, or psykers, even do during leave

winter vessel
median marsh
#

From character dialogue they do get time off, gambling is one activity as the characters (except ogryn) all say to not play with our pilot

#

The mourningstar also has some bar/canteen which we only see in a cutscene sadly

winter vessel
misty widget
#

I think my psyker would try to read the future to see how not to fuck up his next mission or find a nice lady to talk to

mighty plover
#

Fairly certain there’s a line like ‘get the thing, get out, get drunk’

thick cedar
#

Are we part of a penal legion or are we something else

urban spire
#

not quite

winter vessel
#

lead by an Inquisitor. We, dubbed as Acolytes, are in service to Grendyl

urban spire
#

the invasion of atoma affects some kind of prison transport that our characters are on, so grendyl forms a kind of ad hoc inquisitorial penal legion

#

i tried posting that a minute ago and discord decided that the thing the enter button should do is crash the program

#

cool and normal app

#

love that me and all my friends are chained to it

queen laurel
winter vessel
#

An Inquisitor can employ a multitude of Agents, ranging from combat specialists, psykers, data recorders, and scouts.

winter vessel
#

We pretty much make up the first two in Darktide.

urban spire
#

i kind of get the impression that the inquisitorial warband has always had this underclass of grunts called the rejects

#

and we're just the latest addition to it

winter vessel
#

Its more of a derogatory term for us since we were literally liberated from a prison barge, and crimes aren't taken lightly in the Imperium. Even so, Acolytes are the lowest ranking of an Inquisitor's entourage.

urban spire
#

reject isn't exactly a formal term, but it's applied to us by people of grendyls warband as if it is

solid valley
#

do we know where the moebian domain is in the galaxy like what segmentum it falls under?

arctic talon
#

Its the Moebian sector

#

oh segmentum

#

its in Solar

solid valley
#

was wondering about the hypothetical possibility of us getting a delivery of necromunda pattern weapons but was thinking that might be impossible if we are on the other side of the cicatrix from them lol

urban spire
#

which side of the rift is necromunda on anyway

solid valley
#

solar

winter vessel
#

solar

queen laurel
solid valley
#

their weapons look so cool

queen laurel
#

That place is so problematic that they make zaun from arcane look nice

arctic talon
#

if we were in nihlus

urban spire
#

it's so fucked up that you don't get any of the cool necromunda shit in necromunda hired gun

arctic talon
#

💀

#

It would be so fucking over lol

#

Daemons out the fucking ass

winter vessel
#

While we're most likely in the Segmentum Solar, I feel like we're bordering Pacificus when I look at the map.

arctic talon
#

isn't the lore we're like

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

across from necromunda

#

exactly

urban spire
#

do you think the cicatrix rotates with the galaxy or is earth at some point going to rotate through it?

arctic talon
celest dome
#

We could be executed cause we aren't useful anymore, working your penance away isn't an assured fate

urban spire
#

we're in the warband by the time we hit level cap so nah

celest dome
winter vessel
solid valley
# arctic talon we're working for an inqusitor so no

the thing that really gets me is most people who fight nurgle things usually die from disease even if they win and we dont even get gasmasks as standard equipment
they are just like ah a detox bath when you are back on board and you'll be fine

urban spire
#

idk if i'm gonna be penalized in the imperium anyway there are worse fates than being turned into one of the deadliest combat cyborgs on the field

celest dome
winter vessel
urban spire
#

my point is we're considered a valuable asset

solid valley
#

ye i seem to remember rannick in the level 30 cutscene saying "welcome to the warband"

#

and i dont think they would let some bum fuck reject do auric missions

#

this guy who we think is less than filth and has a life expectency of like one mission

#

give him vital and difficult missions

celest dome
urban spire
#

every tool in the inquisitor's arsenal is considered expendable

undone zodiac
#

Arco flagellants are pretty great way of putting it

#

Either you stay loyal or you go hard into treason

urban spire
#

also it's cool how the dialogue changes as you rank up

#

everyone kinda hates each other at the start of the game and one of the vets keeps talking about deserting

celest dome
celest dome
dusk patrol
#

Flagellants are an extreme case too

#

Like, extremely fucked people

#

An example we’re given is a dude who led religious pogroms which slaughtered millions

urban spire
#

well arco flagellants are also very useful so

dusk patrol
#

Win win

urban spire
#

in lieu of genocidal religious leaders, any old undesirable will do

iron lantern
#

Holy shit there’s so much on Knights

urban spire
#

boo

#

discount bargain bin titans

iron lantern
#

but Reaper Chainsword go brrrrrr

urban spire
#

(not the models themselves though lol)

#

i wonder if we'll get some kind of trench warfare map outside of the hive

#

probably not though come to think of it, it's all desert outside of atoma

celest dome
#

The armoury vid could imply it could happen

urban spire
#

and the traitors are already inside the walls

celest dome
#

Doesn't mean that they aren't holding an entrenched area somewhere

urban spire
#

i wonder how a krieger would feel about a bunch of cadians cosplaying as them

arctic talon
#

prolly confused lol

dusk patrol
#

They do take on other regiments or absorb them

#

So idk how weird it would be

urban spire
#

how in the world would a regiment of krief absorb a different regiment

#

krief

dusk patrol
#

They take them and put them in Krieg uniforms and make them charge like everyone else

urban spire
#

there's more to a krieger than the uniform though

dusk patrol
#

Doesn’t matter

#

Cannon fodder is cannon fodder

#

Those who don’t die

urban spire
#

i can't imagine anyone from anywhere else would fit in with the regimental culture of krieg i mean

#

there would be massive morale issues

dusk patrol
#

It doesn’t matter really, it’s not their choice

#

They don’t care, they probably won’t survive the first fight anyways

urban spire
#

it does matter, poor morale is devastating

dusk patrol
#

As it’s depicted in Dead Men Walking the one dude basically becomes like the Kriegers by the end

dusk patrol
#

They’ll just kill anyone who doesn’t follow orders

urban spire
#

you'd get a much less effective fighting force that way

dusk patrol
#

In Dead Men Walking they use the local pdf to buy a couple seconds in defense

urban spire
#

it's a bad deicison

dusk patrol
#

I mean sure I guess, but that’s not really the concern, they’re absorbed for a few different reasons, more bodies is more bodies

#

They don’t need them to be super effective

#

And anyways as we see some do kinda

#

Figure it out

urban spire
#

i'm always interested in kriegers as people, but none of the fiction seems too interested in getting into it

dusk patrol
#

Kriegers aren’t really interesting people just being real

#

They’re intentionally not very human

urban spire
#

you're right, there's no way a traumatized person can be an interesting character in a story

dusk patrol
#

I mean we see some of them in these books but they’re pretty far gone

#

They’re blank

#

There’s nothing to them really

#

Some break some don’t but they’re husks

#

They’ve never been people

urban spire
#

i think a novel exploring a krieger discovering kindness and self worth would be a fuckin banger

dusk patrol
#

They never got the chance

urban spire
#

a krieger and a skitarius perhaps

#

discovering those things together

#

homosexually

#

it is time to write fanfic

arctic talon
#

Martian styled Skitarii tend to have enough independence to celebrate things and such

#

they’re arguably more human then kriegers

urban spire
arctic talon
#

Skitarii tend to celebrate their combat day which is the first time they fought in a battle

#

With squadmates offering gifts

urban spire
#

be considerate of the skitarii, don't celebrate feast of the emperor's ascension with fireworks

#

anyway

#

collecting my thoughts a bit

#

the advantage of krieg regiments is that you don't have to worry about their morale

dusk patrol
dusk patrol
#

They just don’t care

#

And it’s a little easier to not care with them

urban spire
#

charging them directly into machinegun fire is something you can do with them, it's just not a meaningful action

dusk patrol
#

But they do break

urban spire
#

in fact you practically have to disuade them from doing that

weary bane
#

cawl is the most based mf in the warhammer franchise and you cant change my mind

urban spire
#

kitto paint is such a good artist

#

cawl is fine

weary bane
#

heresy

#

cawl is life

urban spire
#

wish he'd implement his ideas a bit more broadly

weary bane
#

he would if he could

urban spire
#

he's not trying very hard

weary bane
#

considering he's basically got 1 single defense for what he does, and that being g-man

#

like, a huge majority of admech hate him

#

a LOT

#

they think he's a heretic no stop

urban spire
#

hate him cause they aint him

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Real

weary bane
arctic talon
#

A lot are jealous of him as well

weary bane
#

tbh cawl sorta cheats the system with you know

arctic talon
#

He’s got a direct pipeline to the son of Jesus

weary bane
#

absorbing some of the smartest minds of the human race

arctic talon
#

For the admech lol

#

And he’s old as shit

#

And also that

urban spire
#

he should take control of a few forge worlds

#

if he's that smart why aint he rich

weary bane
#

he doesnt need to

urban spire
#

yeah i know he doesn't feel any need to, that's the whole problem

weary bane
#

also i'd consider himself pretty damn wealthy in terms of admech society

urban spire
#

man spent the better part of ten thousand years making space marines slightly bigger

normal light
#

It`s time to follow Vashtor

weary bane
#

i can hear belakors rage from here

#

mf been trying to be the next chaos god his entire existence

#

meanwhile vashtor just dabbing from left field

normal light
#

I want him get an expansion

urban spire
#

belakor should have picked a more unique domain then

arctic talon
#

He in theory has almost limitless power

normal light
weary bane
arctic talon
#

Fabricator general arguably has less power

#

Then an arch magos

#

They’re tied to politicking

#

They have no freedom

solid valley
#

huh did the loose cannon vet just confirm that he used to serve in a regiment of the mordian iron guard
"thats the mordian groin twister, me old drill sarge taught me it right sadistic karker"

urban spire
#

archmagos is like having a doctorate squared, it's an impressive title but it's not necessarily a possition that affords you a lot of material influence

arctic talon
#

Yeah

weary bane
#

authority and knowledge are two different beasts

arctic talon
#

It depends on your actual like

#

Position in a way

weary bane
#

a position of authority ^

arctic talon
#

Cawl has plenty of factories and labs

#

He’s not lacking in political or monetary power

weary bane
#

fabricator general is the highest position of authority an admech can achieve

#

and that also varies

#

depending on forge world

urban spire
#

he should take charge of a few prolific forgeworlds and increase their efficiency

weary bane
#

its pretty wobbly tbh on whom has higher authorities and such

urban spire
#

that'd light a fire under the rest of the admech's asses

weary bane
#

cause i meeeaaannn, cawl being given free reign to do whatever by the son of god basically?

arctic talon
#

The other major forgeworlds are too prideful

#

To have some Martian running things

weary bane
urban spire
#

yes, because he is AN INDOLENT FOOL too busy futzing around with his space marine project

arctic talon
#

The admech is like

#

Super xenophobic internally on average lol

#

Regarding forgeworld of origin

urban spire
#

what the fuck does "xenophobic internally" mean

arctic talon
weary bane
#

admech are very selfish in their stuff

arctic talon
#

Or you’re from Stygies you’re obviously a heretic

#

Ryza is full of weirdos

dusk patrol
urban spire
arctic talon
#

Ect.

dusk patrol
weary bane
#

one forgeworld had to scrounge for a different design cause they couldnt get the rights to the baneblade schematics

dusk patrol
#

Cawl wishes a motherfucker would

weary bane
#

ironically

#

by the time they got the mecharius made

#

they got the rights to the baneblade

urban spire
#

he should have spent those ten millennia making the mechanicus less shit rather than making space marines even bigger, more precious babies

arctic talon
#

Also Metallica thinks they’re better then everyone else

#

Shame about how that went for them

#

During charadon heh

weary bane
#

neat color scheme

dusk patrol
#

Not like Cawl could have changed the Ad Mech

arctic talon
#

Cawl also honestly likes the admech the way it is

#

Ironicially

#

He’s not that liberal in terms of change in Martian politics lol

dusk patrol
#

He has no interest in leading it

urban spire
#

yeah, character flaw

dusk patrol
#

Not really

#

He’s not that guy

arctic talon
#

Hating politics isn’t a character flaw

weary bane
#

i mean, if he's the only guy making headway in tech, kinda gives him all the power when it comes to advancing things

urban spire
#

i love the mechanicus, the mechanicus sucks

#

make it better, cawl

dusk patrol
#

I mean yeah

arctic talon
#

His character flaw is that he’s a self obsessed weirdo with a massive ego

urban spire
#

come on

arctic talon
#

Like

#

Cawls ego is genuinely huge lol

#

He calls himself the prime conduit of the omnissiah’s will

urban spire
arctic talon
#

Lol

#

It is huge in both a literal and figurative sense

urban spire
#

potbellied little centipede man

arctic talon
#

But none of the major forge worlds would ever be caught dead with Cawl leading them

urban spire
#

get a real job, loser

weary bane
#

i mean every single time he absorbes a new person's psyche, its a literal battle of wills, would assume ego's play into that kek

arctic talon
#

Except like maybe Voss Prime lol

#

But they’re Mars’s little bitch

#

So they don’t really count

urban spire
#

he could have managed to take charge in ten thousand years

#

he just didnt want to

arctic talon
#

I mean yeah

celest dome
#

Cawl Explorator fleet would be the best way to do it

arctic talon
#

Politics are messy

urban spire
#

he's

#

checks over shoulder, whispers

#

he's a coward

arctic talon
#

Any tech priest who gets involved in politics

#

Tends to die lol

dusk patrol
#

I mean he saved the Imperium

normal light
dusk patrol
#

So

arctic talon
#

Earlier then expected

weary bane
#

god my favorite lore with admech is the fact their ark mechanicus ships are flat out massive STC's

#

and they dont know

urban spire
#

some of them are

arctic talon
#

Just the speranza is

urban spire
#

every ark is unique

weary bane
#

no confirmation

#

on either end

dusk patrol
#

The one consistnecy with Ark Mechanicus is they aren't consistent

arctic talon
#

^

#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

They're not all the same ship

#

At all

weary bane
#

PepeShrug welcome to gw

#

until confirmation

arctic talon
#

No

#

That’s intentional

weary bane
#

maybe all, maybe 1

dusk patrol
#

No its like

#

How they are

arctic talon
#

It’s literally just the speranza

urban spire
#

an ark mechanicus is basically a self propelled forgeworld

dusk patrol
#

You're bringing up one STC example

celest dome
dusk patrol
#

And saying they're all STCs

arctic talon
#

There’s nothing indicating other ark mechanicus’ we’ve seen are

weary bane
arctic talon
#

It’s a DAOT era ship

dusk patrol
#

We do, because none else have been shown to be like the Sperenza

celest dome
arctic talon
#

They do not

#

Lol

#

The ship has an AI

dusk patrol
#

Some might be

#

But its not like, they're all like that

arctic talon
#

that does not want to be found

dusk patrol
#

The ship is explicilty very special.

weary bane
#

"hey we dont know therefor it doesnt exist"

arctic talon
weary bane
#

not how that works kek

dusk patrol
#

We have seen plenty of them my guy

urban spire
#

the defining features of an ark mechanicus is that it's a very very big spaceship which the mechanicus has designated an ark mechanicus, it's a proscriptive name, not a descriptive one

arctic talon
#

One of Cawls is a refurbished massive mining ship

dusk patrol
#

Have you even read Forges of Mars?

arctic talon
#

And the other is a refurbished battleship

#

Both are modern imperial era ships

dusk patrol
#

The Sperenza baffles all of the very very senior Ad Mech

#

Who have all seen Ark Mechanicus before.

urban spire
#

arks mechanicus

#

🤓

dusk patrol
#

They vary wildly

arctic talon
#

There’s also the Castestus Metallican

dusk patrol
#

Some are pretty small for example.

weary bane
arctic talon
#

In the mechanicus game

#

Which is a heavy cruiser

urban spire
#

i love the mechanicus game so much

arctic talon
#

It’s also imperial era

urban spire
#

i love the MUSIC so much

arctic talon
#

The speranza is such an outlier

urban spire
arctic talon
#

Compared to like

dusk patrol
#

Like we don't have any evidence to suggest something, which means we don't know until GW tells us otherwise. Not "it might be true until GW says otherwise"

arctic talon
#

99% of the ark mechanicus’s we see

#

There’s also the one from psychic awakening

#

Which is a unique one of a kind forge ship

weary bane
arctic talon
#

But it’s modern era

weary bane
#

welcome to the stalemate

arctic talon
#

I see no reason to entertain it

dusk patrol
#

They could all be secret unicorns in disguise too I guess

#

Since GW has not told us that either

celest dome
arctic talon
#

A single ship being used as a straw man for the argument is silly

urban spire
#

the fact that there's a bunch of nominally cool people in the mechanicus is what makes it so infuriating

arctic talon
#

Especially when the ship is explicitly confusing to everyone else

urban spire
#

cause it could be a lot better

celest dome
#

Like saying that every Votann is an Stc does have credibility

dusk patrol
#

Like have you even read the series the Sperenza is in?

urban spire
#

but every time things get too good, the prime grimdark directive asserts itself and steers the ship back into the pit
