They're probably just posting on obscure messages boards all the while battling necrons at the same time

On a page on about the imperial guard

i mean admech do have their own language
basically vocalized binary
weary bane
binharic cant, Lingua-technis, hexamathic code, noospheric bleed and Novabyte
apparently

Lingua technis is the big one
Overall
It’s also what’s “spoken” in the mechanicus game
rose thorn
it doesnt even link WHAT claim is related to WHAT source
its in the hwo to paint, with no lore
its in teh 5th edition codex on the fucking map no lore
im about to reread those armour volumes but im 99% sure htey werent in the badab war

storm jungle
Its been like 3 years
it literally would have been out before if GW didn't buy the guy
💀
hate
We'll see kinda doubt it
they already butchered the Exodite but this has space marines so i hope its not the same.
forest orbit
The creator was also making a lot of fucking money before GW picked him up and made him delete his videos
he also moved onto an entirely different animation project on his patreon so I guess Astartes 2 might be the end of it
I mean yeah because he isnt producing 40k content on his patreon anymore
arctic talon
^
forest orbit
He has entirely moved on, I was there the exact day he got picked up by GW and did the mass video delete, he lost a lot of patrons after that, he probably built them up after like 3 years but its nowhere near as much as it was before
Ah yeah maybe, got no idea at this point
his patroen is full on non-40k content
arctic talon
whats new lol
arctic talon
He should aspire to be like bricky
unironically better then doing nothing
storm jungle
Ikr
also its very obviousy not a lot of people care about what Syama does after he just dropped Astartes which sucks.
arctic talon
yeah
storm jungle
Its very obvious he'd have made more Astartes content if GW didn't pick him up.
storm jungle
Yeah but like i dont care is the thing
arctic talon
real
storm jungle
yeeee
arctic talon
I don't count dice check because I don't think he's running that
storm jungle
I too wish I could sit and talk with a guy who goes "JEYSUS" at everything I read off a wikipedia page as we laugh for an hour.
arctic talon
storm jungle
It kinda is but also kinda isn't
I legit only put up Ad ridiculous when im playing something on in the background.
storm jungle
Yeah pretty much
ironically I like their detective stuff a lot more
creepy IRL crime cases inject that into my arm
arctic talon
mmm
Murder mysteries
I think its funny
how multiple content creators
of different games I played
ended up making Warhammer content
storm jungle
Its a very easy IP to make money from if you can get a good audience following
storm jungle
its definitely an amazing piece of animation but at the end of the day its pretty much classic marine wankery
urban spire
yeah
storm jungle
Uhh depends
Astartes is shut your brain off and wojak point at cool setpieces, a lot more cinematic and zero corporate shit
Pariah Nexus is a good piece of animation that is super corporate and stretched into 3 episodes with awful formatting
arctic talon
Its a very easy IP to make money from if you can get a good audience following
Like Bricky and Shy are 2 dif content creators I used to follow lol
for dif games
storm jungle
God shy is so cringe
arctic talon
lol
arctic talon
she still plays warframe
storm jungle
I also dont really like people whos entire personality is "Haha im a shithead"
which shy is someone like that, she said so herself 
storm jungle
same YEET
arctic talon
Only reason I remotely enjoy their content is because they managed to get the awful old melee system fucking killed in warframe lol
storm jungle
I thank allah every day for not letting me play Warframe
tried 40m of it and yeah no thanks
urban spire
oh shit i made it all the way to adulthood without getting a personality, what do i do
hears the I'm An Asshole song
oh thank god
arctic talon
also it helped that back when she still made warframe content she was actually half competent at the game
unlike most of the people who still make Warframe content today
urban spire
warframe makes me want to die a little bit every time i play it

I don't count dice check because I don't think he's running that
He took over that show from Magickarpusedfly

tragic
but expected with how much content they were like

Yeaaaah now Magick has made like
One video talking about horror movies?
I havent watched it yet but it looks pretty good and well made, as are his videos
I dont think hes been on an episode of Dice Check since

isn't there a 40k horror short story collection or something

Probably

isn't there a 40k horror short story collection or something

highly recomend both Warhammer Crime and Warhammer Horror
Mostly since I want more small scale stuff

Speaking of, Watcher in the Rain, yay or nay?

Absolutely and 100% yay

Funny how they all used to be League youtubers <:smilecat:942293327397662740>
Only one Im still subbed to is Darkmane and his stuff hasnt really changed except for his art (his art's gotten better tbh)

It did
But oh god I feel the stagnancy with his channel sadly
He's a funny guy but wow his jokes feel almost the same per vid

this art style was peak

Bricky really is the most successful of the three tbh

Votaan are getting slower cause they haven't emptied their cache in a long time
celest dome
is that the psyker ogryn?
For Grey Ogryns ? No, those are mythical Ogryn that would be uber smart. We don't yet know if they really exist
urban spire
ah
storm jungle
hey what the fuck happened to the votann
They are gonna be around its just that they JUST came out, a book is underway by Gav Thorpe, it just takes awhile to get a faction properly rolling.
also its very hard juggling all these factions and GW departments when it comes to lore/minis etc are very disconnected from each other
urban spire
feels like they came out a minute ago
storm jungle
yeah time is like that
green loom
Also you can't have them interacting with factions much
Since like
Their lore rn is no one knows they're in the core lmao
storm jungle
Yeah we had A FEW interactions
but its been like
"Oh they were there during the Murdercurse and instantly bailed"
green loom
Demiurg are the Demiurg because the Tau aren't aware of the other guys
green loom
I think a cool bit is the ironheads for Necromunda
urban spire
yeah they're neat
but i mean, since they're back in the game i imagine they're going to be playing at least some kind of role in the lore
also their region of space is like directly intersected by the cicatrix maledictum
storm jungle
Yeah but don't expect anything much.
They are in the xenos category and we know how xenos get treated by GW lol
near wasp
Yeah but don't expect anything much.
They are in the xenos category and we know...
I still find that hilarious
storm jungle
Corpo Moment 💀
why care about space dwarves when you got generic tin-men in big armor

Tbh
The best bet for 40k games
Is Rogue Traders/Inquisition
But
Marines are just that stupid popular
urban spire
they're fine
green loom
Man I can't wait for Rogue Trader
urban spire
i didn't really like their other games, the pathfinder ones
green loom
I liked the Pathfinders a good bit
urban spire
hopefully not being D&D will change that
storm jungle
i am so glad there's no marines in darktide
Honestly like
if there was a Marine he would literally play no different than the Ogryn
you'd just have more Veteran-esque tactical-shooter skills and thats kind of it.
urban spire
yeah
storm jungle
so its really not that big of a deal as much as people back during the teaser trailer demanded it
near wasp
Sister of battle would just be preacher
storm jungle
honestly yeah lol
urban spire
shoutsout to the latest steam thread about how the player characters in darktide could never even hope to make the merest scratch in a space marine's armour
storm jungle
you can literally RP as one just get the bolter for a female zealot
storm jungle
shoutsout to the latest steam thread about how the player characters in darktide...
meanwhile
4 Ogryn team exists
near wasp
4 psykers would wipe the floor with a marine
storm jungle
Yeah like we are way more than equipped to kill a marine lol
Krak, Plasma, Nades, Power-weapons etc
urban spire
we can kill a beast of nurgle
near wasp
We can kill a coked up chaos spawn
storm jungle
the only stretch with the Beast is that the whole infection/radius thing but otherwise yeah
urban spire
the infection thing is kind of silly in the lore anyway
you can't have every interaction with nurgle related stuff cause incurable death illness
storm jungle
Yeah and they acknowledge it by saying you go through quarantine
aka shit ton of soap and holy incense probabpy
near wasp
You can have a bit of corruption, as a treat
urban spire
also most of the unlockable gear has like rebreathers and stuff
there's an implication that surviving your first couple missions entitled you to some additional protection there
hey apropos of that, the new penance drip owns
storm jungle
oh no yeah if you get eaten you are fucking dead
urban spire
shame the penances still kinda suck
arctic talon
shoutsout to the latest steam thread about how the player characters in darktide...
List of things we have that would murder a marine, power sword, power maul, thunderhammer, eviscerator, plasma gun, the psykers entire goddamn collection of staffs and abilities, ogryn

I don’t need to elaborate beyond ogryn

Pretty fucking accurate lol
It’s huge. It’s psychic, and its entire goal is to kill a specific person
And then everything else it can

i love its called the emissary

i hope cavill keeps it together long enough to make one good 40k thing

They don’t want to give birth to a kid
And have their kid damned to eternal torment

The drukhari just vatgrow there's because no drukhari woman would risk being pregnant in comorragh

I mean there are some
urban spire
that's one of the reasons i'll probably never have a kid
median marsh
Naturalborn Dark Eldar act and behave like theyre the most elite things to ever exist

In fucking comorroagh
urban spire
the primary reason being womb surgeries still aren't very widely available and i don't have money

But man

You just know the exodites are down 24/7

You don't have a hippy planet without turning it into a hippy planet ykno

joining the exodite polycule
arctic talon
But eldar don’t live a boring life by any means
The amount of partying a craftworld eldar does would prolly kill a human lol
crisp heath
The reason GW never shows us exodites planets is because they don't want their product to be considered 18+
arctic talon
It’s just considered restrained

Whats the deal with the dark eldar and their whole bein sadistic mf
arctic talon
By eldar culture lol
median marsh
Whats the deal with the dark eldar and their whole bein sadistic mf
its how they dont get snatched by me slaanesh
arctic talon
Whats the deal with the dark eldar and their whole bein sadistic mf
They’re grown from what’s left of the old eldar empire
median marsh
inflicting suffering "refills" their souls which are constantly, slowly drained away

The amount of partying a craftworld eldar does would prolly kill a human lol
parting?

ah
crisp heath
Slaanesh keeps stealing souls out of the soul jar so they have to top it off
arctic talon
Slaanesh is eating it
weary bane
What's the dif for them vs normal eldar?
arctic talon
Slaanesh has a claim on every eldar soul
arctic talon
What's the dif for them vs normal eldar?
They don’t have a soul stone
Or world circuit
crisp heath
Because they snoo snoo'd a God into existence
urban spire
craftworld eldar have soul stones which keep their souls from being snacks
arctic talon
To protect them
median marsh
the location stops their souls from getting violently ripped out instantly but it cant prevent a slow trickle
urban spire
exodites have given up the hedonistic lifestyle which means slaanesh no longer has a hold on them
crisp heath
Dude Comorragh weed must be insane
median marsh
webway is funky
weary bane
So eldar would happen too without a soulstone?
weary bane
That's why they have such controlled offspring
arctic talon
If they lost their soul stone
arctic talon
Arnt soulstones pretty "limited"?
They’re technically infinite
median marsh
a soulstone is basically to instantly trap your own soul before an eldritch monster slurps you up
arctic talon
Except to get them you uh
weary bane
They’re technically infinite
How?
crisp heath
Also a craftworlder can be such a freak it's soul stone is grossed out and stops working
arctic talon
And wait for like
The warp weather to start raining the stones
Tldr it’s very high risk
To get a soul stone
And they’re literally raining down from the sky on eldar crone worlds
urban spire
that's why returning eldar soul stones to craftworlds is like the one thing that will get them to be kinda okay with you
unless you're ravenor
i guess they just thought he was groovy
arctic talon
Tbh
If it’s not beil’tan
You can negotiate
If it’s beil’tan it’s imperium eldar edition

Tbf Eldar mostly like humans, they're just stuck up pricks who think we're the stuck up pricks because humans don't always listen to the superior species
urban spire
no no
arctic talon
Beil’tan is comically xenophobic
urban spire
eldar have a VERY good reason to dislike humans
arctic talon
It’s almost silly
Eldar don’t like killing humans
Ironicially
Unless it’s beil’tan
In which that case all aboard the genocide train
median marsh
its generally a good idea to not poke something that, if pressed enough to actually notice, can reduce you to dust
arctic talon
Beil’tan are so comically racist they don’t consider dark eldar or eldar from some craftworlds as real eldar
crisp heath
Occasionally the harlequins will find some less xenophobic human world on the fringe of the imperium and be like "wow these sad fucks need a puppet show"
urban spire
it's very funny to me that craftworld eldar are the less technologically advanced ones, but the deldar don't use their coolest shit for combat because they'd rather fly on green goblin hoverboards
arctic talon
Dark eldar also can’t even use the best stuff lol
Since you need to be a Psyker
To use it
arctic talon
Vect is balling
urban spire
i had a long argument with someone once about whether or not they could build a dyson sphere

Why would Vect even want the best tech when he rides around like this

no way the imperium can

Vect's mini makes him the coolest guy in 40k

conveniently put your new rivals really close to the demon gate thats about to bust open
urban spire
the scale of a dyson sphere is so massive
arctic talon
Dark eldar prolly could build one
But craftworld nah
They don’t have the ability to
urban spire
i don't think the deldar have the infrastructure either
median marsh
theyre always busy scheming
crisp heath
Necrons probably have like 5 active and 6 that are the personal property of a guy who forgot how to turn them on

Trazyn has one without a shred of doubt

necrons could have done it back in the day but it doesn't seem like they have
arctic talon
They can’t do it now for sure
crisp heath
They made the Pariah Nexus pretty recently

Which is much more impressive than a Dyson sphere
urban spire
what is the pariah nexus anyway
arctic talon
Then a Dyson sphere
arctic talon
what is the pariah nexus anyway
Giant blackstone pillar arrays
Set up on a bunch of worlds
It pretty much calms the warp into a still sea

Admech need the Imperium for protection + bc they see Emprah as an avatar of the Omnissiah (or something along those lines). Plus, the AdMech would rather keep....AdMeching, then fighting.
The Imperium needs the Admech for tech + knowledge.
Symbiotic, they are way stronger together than seperately

''Despite the never ending back-breaking service to the Mechaniucs, they still try to have some semblance of society. Adsecularis have the same hopes and desires as Imperials on other worlds do and a rare few are even defiant against their fate. However their spirits are worn thin by the drudgery of their existence at the Mechanicus' hands. There are some Adsecularis who have become so mentally broken by their life, that they become mute and numb to the world. Those that do so, will then be obediently compliant to whatever authority figure gives them orders, even if they are not given by the Mechanicus[4]. Considered a lower order than most Servitors, the ultimate fate of most Adsecularis is to end their lives recycled into Servitor components and their Augmetic implants harvested for further use.[1]''
