awful
what do you mean, have you watched the whole video? is a joke
I know, I watched it lol
i hate how ai shit has made me suspicious about a specific kind of art style
even my awful ass drawings are more art than anything AI will ever make
You can usually tell from the oddly smooth lighting it always has
every time i see something drawn in a certain style i immediately look at the fingers, look at the background elements
Ai cannot make eyes either
It’s awful bcs I don’t want to say something lol
the irises are always fucked up
i wanna watch pariah nexus but i hate warhammer +
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
If there’s meant to be text
I don't care about it as much as I despise the people promoting it like mad
using ai doesnt make you an awful person
i should honestly change my pfp
its monetizing it thats kinda fucked
like if youre just messing around, have fun i dont judge
I should as well, I'm starting to like Eloise a lot more than my chapter master 
yeah, i only use it for the memes, and also i use the free trials, i never pay
i've had sienna as my pfp for a long, long time
quick someone give me an idea for a pfp
based sienna enjoyer
ever since vermintide 1
i mean, that's how long i've been a fan
obviously sienna unchained didn't exist in vt1
are you excited for necromancer sienna
i honestly feel almost nothing
I've had mine since drawing this
they took so long
i think the last time i played vermintide 2 was when thorn kerrillian was announced
and i pogged
but yeah necro sienna is a long ass wait
yeah no shit
That's some excessive seasoning fr fr
this seems like something thatll give me pleasure
so who here would willingly live in 40k times
depends who i server
like
if it is rather slaanesh or tzeentch im all in
or maybe khorne
but the rest of factions are shit
No
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
well i mean
there are veteran sharpshooters
that means
veteran
they should live longer than that
me when im a veteran guardsman and get sent to a hive fleet planet or necron tomb world
Why, so you get eaten alive/ turned into a musical instrument because your fellow cultists find it fun?
hey, at least i wont be bored
thats what you should be scared of
Are you sure about that?
Sounds nice

what, we didnt said nothing fucked up
since were talking about slaanesh
it could have been worse
I'm not usually this slaanesh-focused, I've just had a bad week 
or
a good week
depends on how you see it
nope, bad
@green loom https://youtu.be/yet2Q0M32GQ?si=tLgRDfjrCxrBtDS- take this to make your week better

Skit taken from The Eric Andre Show (Season 2 Episode 9)
To see skits like this and full episodes go to:
Hug enthusiast
i swapped my pfp around like every few weeks like 2 years ago
i got a whole folder
was this for a while
then this drawn by a friend
been this for a bit
I typicalyl swap mine around whenever I make something I like
also drawn by a friend
she does goofy stuff
skaven and such
night lord isopod
"The Watcher in the Rain" is one intense WH40K audio drama
its genuinely great

Just what is the watcher though?
Omophagia hungry
Some warp entity most likely
It's a warp entity, but who
A warp entity that gaslight for funsies
Yep
Finally, the only good guy in 40k, Unbearable Guilt
The actions of one came back to literal eat them in the ass
karma is a bitch
What like Watchers of the Dark?
The lil' Dark Angels xenos squires
Nah, the watcher from "The Watcher in the Rain"
Warp entity
Hope we get to see more of that warp entity
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)
Would love to see that thing just gaslighting entire planets into madness, or go full silent hill mode with guilt and trauma
Deceiver moment
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
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
Hes one of the C'tan, mostly the main instigator that convinced the Necrontry to give their souls up.
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.
He sounds like a fun dude, seems like the type to sell cars, specifically a Tesla
You want a fun dude, read on Trazyn, he is a fun dude.
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
She’s a warp empowered being at the very least considering she lost power when the pylons were activated
I mean and also the angel wings she can manifest whenever she wants
Lol
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
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
It would make sense too how she talks
Always being the same “person”
It could still be but yeah
Yeah the game tells you none of this
so i dont blame your ignorance

you arent autistic like me
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
Abnett was the general background person yeah, we got 8 other Black Library that did everything else.
the new cutscenes were SUCH a fucking improvement
legit hated it when they all end, I wanted more 😩
#soon I hope
that mixed with some amogus plot
I will will it
At least they put the traitor as a servitor now
That’s kinda funny
I guess
thats legit hilarious
Some vague connection
She’s also there if you check before
yeah thats when shes human
Before she gets Rannicked
It's like poetry, it rhymes
Oh my god she has voicelines
Its really cool
Me: Servitorization is awful and horrific and is never really deserved.
reads that one dumbass line
Servitorization isn’t enough.
Yeah most people got no idea most servitors are innocent victims
this case though ill allow

I mean she’s collaborating with Chaos while on an Inquisition ship
Like
She was never gonna last long anywhere anyways
YOU SAW HER FUCKING ROOM, ITS LITERALLY A NURGLE COLLEGE DORM
They’re not sending their best
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

I feel like Rannick knew like immediately but he liked keeping the suspense
Made it more fun around the shop
I agree
“Ooooo who could be the traitor!”
its even funnier when you are the ogry
"Hm yes whos the traitor, the moron ogryn or this zealot"
It’s hilarious as Ogryn
“WHO COULD BE THE MASTERMIND?!”
Oh yeah unless it was like a smart one
which already is literally non-existant in lore
mostly because uncreative writers
Even then their hands are the size of dinner plates
"Who could have made handprints this big."
every other ogryn on the mourningstar:

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss
I likes my psyker
"WALTER WHITE IS ACTUALLY IN THE WALKING DEAD"
agreed lmao
its deffo fitting so we'll see
Wyrmwood has been fucking on the run for like a year now
props to this guy for getting all these voicelines
most of them are non-existant on youtube
My favourite addon has been this helmet's interaction with the hair
Rare YouTube comment W
the front strands are great
The brunt cutscene?
Smell this gas
Gaslight the 40k mods
Lol
Yeah it’s great
They’re great
Also it’s not just “SO YOURE THE NEW GUY EH?!”
“MOST OF YOU DIE”
“IM BEING A MEANIE”
“BYE”
I think one of the new interactions is like
Rinse and repeat for every character
"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"
Lol
lmaooo
I will say at least the people around the hub start to treat you a little better as time goes on
Slightly
Ostog
Or whatever his name is
Always says good luck now lol
Instead of being a dick
Yeah I get that its 40k but everyone being a twat got old fast, Morrow is the only one that works and because hes the Army Guy / Team Dad Trope done right
I'd be angry as welll if I had to permanently stand on stiff guard duty on a smelly ship
The stormtroopers also comment about how you’re actually kinda cool now
And Rannick just does the
Tbh Morrow and Zola don’t seem to be absolute assholes
Peasants
Rannick observing
Morrow is an asshole in a good way
like uh
in the Ascension Riser mission
A drill sergeant?
I hope we get access to the pub before long
he says he vouched to Grendyl for you
Morrow is Steel Legion so he can do whatever he wants
Ah
which is legit gigachad
Vinny is quite based yeah
and does the whole "Please dont let me down you dumbasses"
You wana know who’s a dick for 0 reason 24/7
Hadron 
HIS NAME BEING VINCENT WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER
She’s old though
Yes
ITS IN IMBD
It's listed on the IMDB page
GO AND LOOK
HOLY SHIT
Yeah exactly lmao
I mean we have like what
He’s in charge of all of us losers
A company or something
He could probably tell a general what to do if it came to that
Since he’s with the Inquisition now
Just depends
Don't exactly work the same
For us it kinda does
we are Operatives/Agents
so just at the bottom
but still just goons
Even if he “likes” you
"omg dommy techpriest mommy"
He treats all my guys well
even tho she looks like a fucking rotted potato
💀
Bro she is literally going to hack your legs off
yeah its literally fucking bulging rotted skin
I don't need to, she's a tech priest
I like all the characters in the hub tbh
Hey don’t kink shame

In a very different game and setting, the daemon host would be a victim.
Cyborg raisin*
Instead she's a world of trouble
Well it is
The host part of a daemon host generally isn't really willing
Big suprise
Depends but yeah
Also, there’s comments on how unwilling hosts are more powerful or better for some things like that
Cause uh….yeah
Yeah some literally allow to chain themselves down and go "Aight boys get that daemon in me we are doing this for the gods"
Don’t need to expand on that but yeah
I assume more of the host's willpower is eroded/broken by the more forced process or something like that
Well I wish she’d stop taking it out on me
Toxic af smh
Don’t poke her then smh
“You invaded my personal bubble, so genocide is the only option”
Omg she’s a Twitter user
At least she’s a lazy Daemonhost
Worst, a redditor
Only kills two people
She's me in meme chats
Where if the local Imperium memester gets too close I bludgeon them to death
She’s like over 50% metal at this point
Robosexuals maybe?
The lore on them indicates they’re part of grendyls warband
I think people like the voice unironically
Both, sorta
They're like minor background/flavour text stuff
In some capacity
Maybe a bit toooo much
So like
Maybe
It'll always be themed with the setting in mind
The dommy mommy degens
But she sounds like a grandma that smokes 2 packs a day
There’s some krieg in Grendyls warband
Not really huge, but very varied
Idk I like her voice
Grendyls retinue is very irregular
Not like that
Yeah
It’s strangely big
It’s very unorthodox
Tbf
It’s a great idea
The warband itself is mostly just a fkn penal legion lmao
Why does an inquisitors even have a large army in the first place?
But also like it’s a ticking time bomb lol
Show of force, flexibility
Disposable assets
I’m very curious if we’re ever gonna actually meet Grendyl
Well they're literally conscripting prisoners so I don't think it's that large
Doubt it personally
Doubt it
What I don’t want is “omg it was actually this person the whole time”
It's likely the warband proper is everyone we see in the level 30 cutscene
Just make it some dorky old dude or something funny
it’s Hallowete
So like 30-50 people
Nerd emoji irl
It’s Eisenhorn
And everyone else is disposable chaff

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
Rannick runs the general operations it seems
And he defers to Morrow and others for organization stuff
They do
The pdf needs to keep the heretics contained
We’re being inserted as small strike teams
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."
Well the investigation is mostly done, we just need to snuff them out
Bad news is they've got a full rebellion in swing
Yeah
Honestly there’s nothing left to investigate for us really
I prefer the recently posted femboys in #darktide-fan-art to her tbch
We’re fairly “elite” prisoners who were found useful enough to uh
It’s purging and containment now
Give a second chance
Idk why everyone gotta be so horny all the time smh
In fairness there's not a lot left to the imagination for Sisters in particular 
It's been a tough week 
Lmao facts
Nah we onions
I’m gonna make it tougher if y’all don’t go to horny jail
I wonder if Hadron has just thought of dragging some of the conscripted prisoners away lol


For servitorization
Some of the players I get stuck with
Lol
They’d be more effective after
Would love to see a sequel of the series but it plays like tarkov with zombies and daemons
Escape from Atoma
Gun servitor at least can shoot stuff
Tbf if we shot Zola we would have died on that ship
Real
The judge knows high gothic
They’re just shit at it

What if we joined Chaos
The Ogryns are prodigies by Ogryn standards
Absolutely lol
Those guys seemed like they were up for new recruits
The Agitator doesn’t seem to actually know high gothic
then I smash you in the horde next mission
Ironically

Loner Psyker prolly knows it based on how they talk about it
Everyone else is unclear
I doubt the ogryn know high gothic
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
Which one of the veterans always gets the callouts wrong
And which one always gets them right
I forgor
The not Kruber one gets them right I think
Probably sounds too good to be true
Too much like propaganda
Cadia was a popular piece of news
In all honesty I'm just glad there's no traitor Astartes
Cut throat was off world when the fall happened
Do you guys think we would survive against a millennia old daemon air pissing Astartes?
Okay so what the fuck is a sigma majoris
Can an average human even take it down?
I dont think theres any?
Mutant?
even a daemonhost is a Malefic Threat
Mutant doesn’t have a callout according to professional iirc
Sigma majoris would maybe just be a bigger daemon dog lol
Lol
Or infected “wildlife”
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
Warhammer 40k Darktide squad dialogue/voice lines compilation and gameplay
Playlist for voicelines: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOKyPtdTuLLainwhpek-SpQ7UWd6j6zy4
Why does the merry band know so much about random factoids that aren't common knowledge?
Especially about how void ship start up
They're space marines, but moderaly spikier
Yup, and that looks butt ugly or smells like a sewage with corpses
So Death Guard
Marines that worship chaos or are not part of the imperium and use sorcery and such
imo, the Veterans
Idk why but I feel like I need to have a favorite Loyal group of SM and a favorite Heretical group of SM
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 
He's more or less on an inquisition kill list if we're being real
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
I mean yeah
Even the bodyguard over and said that he likes the space wolfs
Also weren’t those Kriegers corrupted?
Which means yeah our rejects during their wartime has seen some space marines
Doesn't matter
Kill Kriegers
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?
Nah a moba is one of the worst games to try and balance
You think I don’t know that?
I played Smite for nearly a decade now

I doubt Dawn of War is on Xbox tho
Figured 
I just wanna play a Sally Mally man
Yeah so keep that game away from warhammer i don't want to have another f****** toxic moba community for the 50th time today
I mean a battlefield style Warhammer game could also go hard
Out of the four, who would you guys shoot, the psyker, the priest, the guardsman, or the oggies?
Psyker
no doubt
Same issue to balancing the other factions can be annoying like necrons literally have a basic gun that can melt a tank
Oggies are cool I love hearing the priests shout
Psyker, especially the one that sounds insane
Its the same way we hear about current events IRL, its either public outlets or as is with 40k just hearing it from higher-up people or gossip, news usually travel fast.
oh my Beloved would hate this
Yeah, and some of the voices like brawler, and the cadian veterans have probably seen them
yeee
A 40k Battlefield game would almost definitely feature space marines
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?
hes joking
main Tactical/Generic Marine voice from Dawn of War 2
That or diomedes
If you cold pull any character from any IP into Warhammer who would you bring into it?
Godzilla
The anime Godzilla
I forget, loose lips exists even for a theocratic hellhole like the imperium
The one that's like a tree
Nah, it's normal for its momentum to stop suddenly like a child happily seeing his parents only to get shot by a sniper
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
Not always
How much spare time or time off "duty" do our rejects get
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
Ogryns probably peel potatoes, Priests pray somewhere on the ship, and I guess Psykers try to prevent their brain from exploding every second they exist.
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
Feels like such a missed opportunity for a social hub for Rejects
Absolutely
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
Fairly certain there’s a line like ‘get the thing, get out, get drunk’
Are we part of a penal legion or are we something else
not quite
we're part of a war band within the Ordo hereticus
lead by an Inquisitor. We, dubbed as Acolytes, are in service to Grendyl
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
We are not in a penal legion in a sense even though yes we are prisoners since we saved someone of high-ranking we are allowed to serve as expendable meat Shields for the inquisitor as inquisitor agents
An Inquisitor can employ a multitude of Agents, ranging from combat specialists, psykers, data recorders, and scouts.
praise the omnissiah
We pretty much make up the first two in Darktide.
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
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.
reject isn't exactly a formal term, but it's applied to us by people of grendyls warband as if it is
do we know where the moebian domain is in the galaxy like what segmentum it falls under?
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
which side of the rift is necromunda on anyway
solar
solar
Necromunda is its own thing as well by the way so I think it will be very hard to get them to help us
their weapons look so cool
That place is so problematic that they make zaun from arcane look nice
we're on the same side of the Citrix thanfully lol
if we were in nihlus
it's so fucked up that you don't get any of the cool necromunda shit in necromunda hired gun
While we're most likely in the Segmentum Solar, I feel like we're bordering Pacificus when I look at the map.
isn't the lore we're like
Do you think we will get executed if we ever save atoma because you know seeing demons is punishable by death
do you think the cicatrix rotates with the galaxy or is earth at some point going to rotate through it?
we're working for an inqusitor so no
We could be executed cause we aren't useful anymore, working your penance away isn't an assured fate
we're in the warband by the time we hit level cap so nah
The Eye doesn't rotated compared to Planets, so I'd say it's the same thing
I'll take that over being servitorized into an Arco-Flagellant.
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
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
We're still considered Morrow's Rejects
S'why All my classes have filtered masks on out of lore perspective, and drip. Don't wanna inhale that Nurgle perfume.
my point is we're considered a valuable asset
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
We're still bloody expendables
every tool in the inquisitor's arsenal is considered expendable
Arco flagellants are pretty great way of putting it
Either you stay loyal or you go hard into treason
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
Yes, so if they saw no need to keep us alive or that it would be more dangerous to keep us alive they would kill us
Flagellant are after you've veered too much toward heresy.
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
well arco flagellants are also very useful so
Win win
in lieu of genocidal religious leaders, any old undesirable will do
Holy shit there’s so much on Knights
but Reaper Chainsword go brrrrrr
(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
The armoury vid could imply it could happen
and the traitors are already inside the walls
Doesn't mean that they aren't holding an entrenched area somewhere
i wonder how a krieger would feel about a bunch of cadians cosplaying as them
prolly confused lol
They take them and put them in Krieg uniforms and make them charge like everyone else
there's more to a krieger than the uniform though
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
It doesn’t matter really, it’s not their choice
They don’t care, they probably won’t survive the first fight anyways
it does matter, poor morale is devastating
As it’s depicted in Dead Men Walking the one dude basically becomes like the Kriegers by the end
They don’t care
They’ll just kill anyone who doesn’t follow orders
you'd get a much less effective fighting force that way
In Dead Men Walking they use the local pdf to buy a couple seconds in defense
it's a bad deicison
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
i'm always interested in kriegers as people, but none of the fiction seems too interested in getting into it
Kriegers aren’t really interesting people just being real
They’re intentionally not very human
you're right, there's no way a traumatized person can be an interesting character in a story
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
i think a novel exploring a krieger discovering kindness and self worth would be a fuckin banger
They never got the chance
a krieger and a skitarius perhaps
discovering those things together
homosexually
it is time to write fanfic
Martian styled Skitarii tend to have enough independence to celebrate things and such
they’re arguably more human then kriegers
Skitarii tend to celebrate their combat day which is the first time they fought in a battle
With squadmates offering gifts
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
They do
They just don’t care
And it’s a little easier to not care with them
charging them directly into machinegun fire is something you can do with them, it's just not a meaningful action
But they do break
in fact you practically have to disuade them from doing that
cawl is the most based mf in the warhammer franchise and you cant change my mind
wish he'd implement his ideas a bit more broadly
he would if he could
he's not trying very hard
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
hate him cause they aint him
fact
A lot are jealous of him as well
He’s got a direct pipeline to the son of Jesus
absorbing some of the smartest minds of the human race
he doesnt need to
yeah i know he doesn't feel any need to, that's the whole problem
also i'd consider himself pretty damn wealthy in terms of admech society
man spent the better part of ten thousand years making space marines slightly bigger
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
I want him get an expansion
belakor should have picked a more unique domain then
He’s an archmagos
He in theory has almost limitless power
have he`s own little army (hereteks and different scale daemon enginges)
but not fabricator general
Fabricator general arguably has less power
Then an arch magos
They’re tied to politicking
They have no freedom
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"
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
Yeah
authority and knowledge are two different beasts
a position of authority ^
Cawl has plenty of factories and labs
He’s not lacking in political or monetary power
fabricator general is the highest position of authority an admech can achieve
and that also varies
depending on forge world
he should take charge of a few prolific forgeworlds and increase their efficiency
its pretty wobbly tbh on whom has higher authorities and such
that'd light a fire under the rest of the admech's asses
cause i meeeaaannn, cawl being given free reign to do whatever by the son of god basically?
That would never happen
The other major forgeworlds are too prideful
To have some Martian running things
meanwhile mini cawl like "make him fab-gen g-man"
yes, because he is AN INDOLENT FOOL too busy futzing around with his space marine project
The admech is like
Super xenophobic internally on average lol
Regarding forgeworld of origin
what the fuck does "xenophobic internally" mean
You’re from mars == you deserve to be skinned alive
admech are very selfish in their stuff
Well, and the massive army of Primaris, Skitarii, and 10,000 years of combat experience and upgrades
yeah obviously, the flesh is weak
Ect.
one forgeworld had to scrounge for a different design cause they couldnt get the rights to the baneblade schematics
Cawl wishes a motherfucker would
ironically
by the time they got the mecharius made
they got the rights to the baneblade

he should have spent those ten millennia making the mechanicus less shit rather than making space marines even bigger, more precious babies
Also Metallica thinks they’re better then everyone else

Shame about how that went for them
During charadon heh
neat color scheme
Not like Cawl could have changed the Ad Mech
Cawl also honestly likes the admech the way it is
Ironicially
He’s not that liberal in terms of change in Martian politics lol
He has no interest in leading it
yeah, character flaw
Hating politics isn’t a character flaw
i mean, if he's the only guy making headway in tech, kinda gives him all the power when it comes to advancing things
I mean yeah
His character flaw is that he’s a self obsessed weirdo with a massive ego
come on
Like
Cawls ego is genuinely huge lol
He calls himself the prime conduit of the omnissiah’s will
it doesn't help that he has so many of them
potbellied little centipede man
But none of the major forge worlds would ever be caught dead with Cawl leading them
get a real job, loser
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 
Except like maybe Voss Prime lol
But they’re Mars’s little bitch
So they don’t really count
I mean yeah
Cawl Explorator fleet would be the best way to do it
Politics are messy
I mean he saved the Imperium

So
Earlier then expected
god my favorite lore with admech is the fact their ark mechanicus ships are flat out massive STC's
and they dont know
Not all of them
some of them are
Just the speranza is
every ark is unique
theory states all may be
no confirmation
on either end
The one consistnecy with Ark Mechanicus is they aren't consistent
maybe all, maybe 1
It’s literally just the speranza
an ark mechanicus is basically a self propelled forgeworld
You're bringing up one STC example
And they know no ?
And saying they're all STCs
There’s nothing indicating other ark mechanicus’ we’ve seen are
maybe maybe not, we wont know till confirmed
We do, because none else have been shown to be like the Sperenza
And they do know that it's an Stc ?
that does not want to be found
The ship is explicilty very special.
the lack of info does not make fact the existence or non existence of fact
"hey we dont know therefor it doesnt exist"
There’s plenty of info on ark mechancius’s
not how that works 
We have seen plenty of them my guy
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
One of Cawls is a refurbished massive mining ship
Have you even read Forges of Mars?
The Sperenza baffles all of the very very senior Ad Mech
Who have all seen Ark Mechanicus before.
They vary wildly
There’s also the Castestus Metallican
Some are pretty small for example.

i love the mechanicus game so much
It’s also imperial era
i love the MUSIC so much
The speranza is such an outlier
This version of 'Noosphere' by Guillaume David is a little different from the original, i wanted to put the part i prefer together. Enjoy !
Praise the omnissiah !

Compared to like
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"
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
just cause it isnt stated doesnt make it not true either
But it’s modern era
welcome to the stalemate
The theory has no legs to stand on
I see no reason to entertain it
They could all be secret unicorns in disguise too I guess
Since GW has not told us that either
Sure but saying that every Ark is an Stc is baseless
A single ship being used as a straw man for the argument is silly
the fact that there's a bunch of nominally cool people in the mechanicus is what makes it so infuriating
Especially when the ship is explicitly confusing to everyone else
cause it could be a lot better
Like saying that every Votann is an Stc does have credibility
Like have you even read the series the Sperenza is in?
but every time things get too good, the prime grimdark directive asserts itself and steers the ship back into the pit
