40k-lore-chat

[jade holly]

I know they’re based on the Nomadic cultures of Mongolia

[crisp heath]

This isn't true lmao

Mentor Legion

[barren ether]

I mentioned the mentors

And no they really aren’t support based. They work more as force multipliers if you want to argue they are support based

[jade holly]

I still think the Grey Knights are pretty damn cool, they’re like battle mages

[crisp heath]

Please forgive me, I just woke up with a wicked hangover and my first thought was to argue with someone online about space men

[jade holly]

[storm jungle]

Kill em Faygo, do it

[jade holly]

Finish him

[barren ether]

It’s okay. Yes technically the Mentors are “support” in that they work far closer with humanity than other chapters

Like their serfs for example are highly competent operators in their own rights

However the mentors still function as tip of the spear marines. But yes during protracted engagements the Mentors will split up and lend their collective knowledge to guard units

[green loom]

They're as close as you get for marines

There

[barren ether]

The Mentor’s are really cool and a good example of how marines could use their abilities to help the Imperiums military branches in different ways as opposed to regular chapters

Combined arms is criminally underutilized in modern 40k, however there are lore reasons for that, and good reasons to boot

[jade holly]

Bruh I’m reading up on the Soul Drinkers now

This is pretty damn cool

[barren ether]

Ah serpico or whatever spider man’s name is

[jade holly]

Sarpedon?

[barren ether]

One of the first omnibuses I ever read

Yes Sarpedon thank ya

The soul drinkers really are a case of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. And a lovely color scheme

[barren ether]

No kill only teach

[near wasp]

I heard kill. Im here to do my duty

[storm jungle]

[jade holly]

And it seems like they got a second chance through Roboute calling on them again?

[barren ether]

‘Ate me heretic. ‘Ate me’ mutant’. ‘Ate me xenos’. ‘Love me humans. ‘Love me emperor. Simple as

[barren ether]

Yes. It’s been a minute since I read the omnibus but afaik they gained redemption in the eyes of their primogenitors the Imperial Fists

[jade holly]

Man the Dark Angels sure love using the word Knight in their chapters huh?

[spare osprey]

Elaborate

[barren ether]

Well tbf they are the most knight like out of all the first founding chapters

[spare osprey]

Cause I mean the word you see the most is angel

[jade holly]

Mf Lion’el is just a rip off of King Arthur fr fr

[barren ether]

Well yeah that’s his thing, and I like it

[spare osprey]

Gay poet more like it

[jade holly]

Knights of Abhorrence, Knights of the Crimson Order, Knights of Redemption, Knights of the Shrouded Skull

They got a lot of Angels too

[barren ether]

Just like the blood angels lmao

[spare osprey]

Angels of redemption, angels of absolution, angels of defiance, angels of vengeance, angels of vigilance,

[barren ether]

Angels Encarmine

Lots of angels I reckon to guess

[spare osprey]

There’s a pretty nice deathwatch artwork with BA and DA chapters

[barren ether]

Share pls

And we need more Salamanders successors. Yes I know there are Primaris successors but I need more salamanders in my life

FUCKING NICK KYME DO SOMETHING WITH THEM

[barren ether]

Damn that is sick.

[spare osprey]

Group photo

[queen laurel]

i don't care about dark angels but i like the funny little hooded man they got

[storm jungle]

oh yeah jawas

UTINI

[barren ether]

Tactical helmet bearer

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/r2d2-star-wars-a-new-hope-gif-23523896

[queen laurel]

yeah but these guys would beat the **** out of a Jawa

[storm jungle]

idk man jawas pack a punch

[barren ether]

Me and the homies on our way to keep our liege lord sedated for 10k years

[queen laurel]

fist fight between Jawas vs a Watcher

the fight is about to go crazy

[spare osprey]

Then wake him up out of nowhere only for him to have 0 of his fucking memories

[barren ether]

And a lil bit of MGSV syndrome with that muscle atrophy

(Yes I know Big Boss in mgsv isn’t the real big boss)

Lion woke up and decided he was gonna make his own Outer Heaven in the form of forgiving the unforgiven and those dirty traitors

[spare osprey]

Listen

All I’m saying

If the DA are the unforgiven

[jade holly]

This may be the one time I try to do a commission, ofc I’d need to find someone who could. I want jsut a 1.5ft tall figurine of this guy carved in wood or something like that

[spare osprey]

Then by logic

The fallen are the forgiven

[median marsh]

i want a lifesized replica of mortarion

[spare osprey]

Speakin of deathwatch and DA chapters. Star phantoms are rad asf

[jade holly]

I swear Mortarion, besides maybe Lion’el or Vulkan, is the coolest looking Primarch

[storm jungle]

Hes pretty okay

[jade holly]

It’s prob cause I like Darksiders a lot and the whole heavy armor big wing design reminds me of the Angel and Demon designs in those games

[barren ether]

Vulkan with the draconic imagery gets me goin

Salamanders in general really

[jade holly]

I’m just sad the best man to play him in live action is no longer with us

[barren ether]

That was to be expected

Sa’Karn was a g but he was only a single marine against fucking Necrons

[jade holly]

Lance would have been PERFECT as Vulkan

Or at the very least would have been the perfect voice for Vulkan

[green loom]

Oh hey new Imotekh model

[barren ether]

Who’s lance

Lance Reddick? Or however his last name goes

Because if so I agree

[jade holly]

Yes

That Lance

Keith David could also work, but no one would do it better than Lance

[jade holly]

And he is sadly no longer with us

[barren ether]

Funny thing is the salamanders are literally black, not black

So honestly any actor could do as long as they get the charcoal black skin right

[queen laurel]

yo, where is his big guy bodyguard

[storm jungle]

Lmaooo

fucking crane lookin' mfer

[storm jungle]

GOD

[crisp heath]

Fun fact, these skitarii weren't originally created for war applications, they were made to help short magi get things off high shelves

The technology for grabby claws was lost millenia ago

[queen laurel]

You're telling me they don't even bother to install extensions on their legs?

[jade holly]

Oh boy I sure do love being an Eldar child, oh who are those big green guys with flamethrowers and why are they walking toward me?

[barren ether]

Fuckers had it coming

If those children didn’t want to burn, they wouldn’t have been born as xenos

[jade holly]

Exactly

[median marsh]

Admech now employ stickbugs

https://tenor.com/view/stick-bug-stick-bugged-bug-dancing-bug-dancing-gif-18059923

[urban spire]

i think it's bold of them to make the skitarii a joke army

that's a little mean maybe

they've done some cool units for the skitarii

but there's like

a few too many clownshoes designs

like the servitor chocobos that don't stop walking

or the fucking ornithopter

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE

EXCEPT

except people are making movies about Dune again so now people know what that is

and being associated with dune is always embarrassing

also the vanguards are cool until you think about it for a minute and realise how monstrously impractical they are

the admech is all about preserving knowledge, so ideally you'd want your soldiers to live for as long as possible to gather information, experience, and to pass it on to others

but the vanguards just die after a couple years

[storm jungle]

It kinda works in a way?

I like what admech does but i dont blame people that dont

they definitely veer between cool and goofy af

[urban spire]

i guess it kinda fits with the hypocrisy of considering intellect sacred while also considering human lives expendable

[celest dome]

It is the 1st unit where I wouldn't use it as it is

I will probably use a Pteratrix but with bigger wings, maybe with helices in them

[urban spire]

i fucking love the rust stalkers, the spider walkers, the kastelan robots, and just the regular troops

but fuck

[celest dome]

I love the riders

[queen laurel]

Bro just one smack to the leg with a choppa and it's over

[urban spire]

i think that's the design intent

however it is also just a guy on stilts

but they can't take the stilts off

that's a logistics nightmare

how do you barrack these lads

[crisp heath]

They lean upright in a really tall closet

[urban spire]

what do their bunks look like? do they take the legs off to make moving them around in transports easier? if so do they have spare legs that are normal length?

it's also weirdly light on the body horror

i mean, not in the background lore

the glowing blue eyes are because they have their eyelids removed and they need the goggles to keep their eyeballs moist

good shit

but everything looks very sanitized compared to how the lore has been depicting skitarii for decades

i'm not too upset about this, it's just odd

[celest dome]

I think you detach their stilts at the end of the day

[median marsh]

"The Sydonian Skatros is a sinister sight – stalking into position on its stilt-like legs before standing deathly still, a living cyborg watchtower that scans the battlefield for targets. It’s a perfectly engineered sniper, and little escapes its all-seeing achillan eye and fine-tuned elimination protocols."

apparently theyre part of Skitarii Vanguard, their weapons are either a Radium Jezzail or "Skatros Transuranic Arquebus"

one is for infantry the other for vehicles/monsters

[rose thorn]

It’s silly but it’s also@like, so fucking admech

[jade holly]

Asmech conjuring up the most wacky and inconvenient designs for their tools and cybernetics known to mankind

[barren ether]

Dreadknights over here like 🌝

[queen laurel]

the ultimate baby carrier

[barren ether]

Yes lmao

[crisp heath]

https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-rogue-trader-lgbt-romance/

I'm not buying this game until there's a "playersexual" mod

The worst thing Owlcat could have done to me is deny me my waifus

[barren ether]

Wym? Like every companion can be romanceable regardless of your player characters chosen gender?

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah I read that article a few weeks back

[barren ether]

I bought the founders edition and all I want to romance is Heinrix

[crisp heath]

Yes

[barren ether]

Daddy Heinrix

[storm jungle]

you can romance two eldar but literally half the human cast is unromacable, and you only get two choices and its Straight

[crisp heath]

There's 1 gay male and 1 lesbian option rn

[storm jungle]

Im pretty sure there isnt a gay male option

[queen laurel]

The baldurs gate romance way is the adviced idea, so that no matter your characters gender or look you can just have a romance option

[crisp heath]

There is

[storm jungle]

Marazhai you mean?

[crisp heath]

It's the drukhari lmao

[storm jungle]

Lmao he isnt human he doesnt count

[barren ether]

And it works well considering DnD is well… DnD

[queen laurel]

imperium moment

[storm jungle]

KEK

[barren ether]

In 40k idk how it would be any different with humans as the Imperium of Man cares not what hole you prefer

[storm jungle]

I mean its not about lore tho

its just the devs being lazy

[queen laurel]

Yeah but it feels limiting to the gameplay because I want to have relationships with this person but I have to make a new character because my character doesn't meet the requirements

[spare osprey]

so it's not gay if it's a xeno, got it

https://tenor.com/view/duly-noted-general-mark-r-naird-steve-carell-space-force-acknowledge-gif-17474199

[barren ether]

Doesn’t help every character wants to get on their knees for you if you’re even remotely nice to them lmfao

[crisp heath]

It's not gay, being gay is normal and healthy. Being a xenophile is disgusting and we'll let you'll off with a light warning and servitorization this time

[queen laurel]

Yeah that is true but like I don't want to make another character to romance another person in my playthrough

[barren ether]

Mommy dom Minthara or bust

Gale is hot and all but drow mommy dom is where it’s at

[crisp heath]

I didn't play BG3 because everyone just talks about how it's an endless stream of sexual harassment and racial microaggressions

Not my idea of a fun evening lmao

[queen laurel]

Is that supposed to be a baldurs gate reference that I'm so ******* stupid to understand

[celest dome]

Is it ?

[barren ether]

Uhh where lmao. Tbh I use Reddit and I swear even those simps haven’t gotten upset

[celest dome]

Steam forum was dunny

Funny

Plenty of pearl clutchers

[crisp heath]

No everyone else seems to love it

I just cannot comprehend why

[barren ether]

Steam forums are almost always a shitstorm regardless

[barren ether]

Yes they are companions. Gale is the male wizard. Minthara is the leader of the Goblins in Act 1, whom you can side with should you choose the based option and Order 66 the Druid camp

[queen laurel]

Probably because Baldur's Gate 3 actually completed the things people wanted it to be, it's complete, just buy the game and you can play

[storm jungle]

Speaking of steam forums

[queen laurel]

Which is very rare considering our climate

[storm jungle]

you people havent seen what they were like when Darktide was announced

there was people getting mad that the poster zealot is asian

also a woman "fighting in a war???"

💀

[queen laurel]

Of course

[barren ether]

I was there on day 1 😫

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/squint-eye-sad-about-to-cry-gif-12357864

[queen laurel]

******* course

[storm jungle]

Yeah it got so bad Aqshy had to step in

like holy shit

incel-fest

[crystal forum]

people who have never read or played anything related to 40k

[barren ether]

Which is funny as in lore there are many many cases of competent female characters

[spare osprey]

quite literally at that point

[queen laurel]

That's it, I'm killing everyone that doesn't belong on a culture but gets offended for them

[barren ether]

Lotarra Sarin, Astarte, Euphrati Keeler, etc

[crystal forum]

it pisses me off to no end when people who have never even interacted with a franchise act like they get to dictate what happens in it

[crisp heath]

But yeah ill probably never pick up BG3. It just seems like too much. I can count the pores on some of these characters.

I don't want that kind of thing for rogue trader, but I am mad only the straights get the waifus

[spare osprey]

i'd pick it up if i had extra cash

[barren ether]

It’s just very long if you do everything, and believe it or not the circlejerks over the game are true. It really is a damn good game

[storm jungle]

Its what happens when you allow a studio to properly work on a game for 7 years

[queen laurel]

Doesn't have microtransactions and is complete on launch

which is very ******* rare considering today's way of life

[spare osprey]

also, wolfdawg did a pretty neat edit. big thing for me is the bend in the legs

[crisp heath]

Or I'll put it like this lmao

[barren ether]

cough Darktide cough. But at least Darktide skins aren’t horrendously expensive

[crystal forum]

i think the combat isn't as good as divinity 2

[crisp heath]

If I was at an actual game of D&D that was similar to BG3, I wouldn't play with that group anymore

[crystal forum]

also everything is like 10 times more complicated than it needs to be for beginners

[crisp heath]

The forgotten realms suck anyway, bring back Dragonlance and Dark Sun

[barren ether]

That’s a hot take considering Divinity 2 had barrelmancy meta and using every element under the sun

[crystal forum]

i liked element gameplay

and at least everything was relatively simple

[barren ether]

BG3 has great combat in my own opinion. And also allows for greater freedom and experimentation with fights

[crisp heath]

There is 0 doubt in my mind that BG3 is a great, well-crafted game well above current industry standards. I just wish that time, effort and talent went into a different game entirely.

[barren ether]

BG3 is still simple lol. You can be Mr human fighter and smash shit if you want. Even use simple spell combos as a wizard or sorc. Nothing’s stopping you. BG3 just gives you more options to use

[crystal forum]

also BG3 doesnt have a super tactical mode which deletes your game when you lose. shame

[queen laurel]

I wish that type of effort was actually put in a warhammer a game

considering that warhammer games don't receive the best treatment

[barren ether]

Still holding out hope for a true freeform open world 40k game

[crisp heath]

Rogue Trader looks excellent, beyond excellent

Chefs kiss, mwag

[storm jungle]

I mean

its just a CRPG

[crisp heath]

Now let me be gay

[crystal forum]

i guess i need to get more used to it. i just started playing it and it's like barely anything is explained

[barren ether]

It’s really good and the writing is on par with books

[queen laurel]

This is the only warhammer game I'm willing to get

It's free and it allows me to be a driver worse than someone who plays GTA

[barren ether]

(Former) Eternal Crusade players in the chat?

[crisp heath]

Dilara Darktide and Rimworld are the only games I play that I don't need to download a tileset for (I do not download tilesets because they are distracting)

[crystal forum]

mfw i get chased by a supercar in my shitty car and all i have to do is turn on an intersection to evade them going mach 3

[barren ether]

That’s part of the fun. I understand wanting tutorials but honestly the game just tells you to go have fun and figure it out, though I completely understand wanting to be told wtf is going on

[queen laurel]

only for you to turn and see this runt

i played the beta and this one was a painful son of a git

[crisp heath]

I've been considering picking up Cyberpunk 2077 but I don't know that also seems like one I won't play much

[queen laurel]

can your computer handle it?

[barren ether]

It is fairly well optimized nowadays

[crystal forum]

dont get it full priced

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

If you can run it you can try

i heard it's pretty good

[crystal forum]

people who simp for cyberpunk just watched the anime and think that makes up for the sub par gameplay

[barren ether]

Cataclysm Dark Days ahead players quivering in fear

[crisp heath]

Unreal World and Cataclysm

Oh yeah

Yeah

That's mostly what I play

[barren ether]

Cataclysm is my most played game of all time

[queen laurel]

The anime is pretty good but you should differentiate the anime from the game

[crystal forum]

cataclysm has the ability to make time disappear from your life

[barren ether]

I’ve played since 2017. Each run I’ll spend roughly 50 hours on before I get bored

Maybe make it to winter year 2

[crystal forum]

i love it but christ every time i play it's like weeks go past

[near wasp]

Rimworld is just a warcrime sim

[crisp heath]

I'm not super deep into Cataclysm, Unreal World is more my go to, but sometimes you just need to inject heroin infected with mutant blood before you storm a hospital with your killdozer to scratch that primal itch

[crystal forum]

you can get to year 2 in 50 hours?!?

[barren ether]

Yes. Lots of reading

[crystal forum]

i barely manage to get to winter in like 200 hours

im always exploring

[barren ether]

And both aren’t mutual. Generally I get bored by winter

[crisp heath]

I just set a goal for myself, hole up in a bunker and try to survive supply runs.

[barren ether]

Hub 01 quests and building in the Hub consumes a lot of time for me

[crystal forum]

i usually blow up a hole in the hub and raid it

[barren ether]

I like to build a base by the bar

[crisp heath]

I'm a very, very safe player though, I just quit when I die, so I'll sink like 15 hours in during one sitting, die, and then not touch it for a month

[barren ether]

Cozy little apartment

[crystal forum]

my tactic is finding an abandoned military vehicle, grabbing the machinegun's 200 round belt and firing away forever

really easy game all things considered

[barren ether]

5.56 is so common lmao I don’t blame you

But the damn spread on full auto

[crystal forum]

nah i grab an m4 or something and go semi

[crisp heath]

I like to work on vehicles and turn them into mobile fortresses

[crystal forum]

i wish wandering hordes wasnt so broken so at least my base could get attacked sometimes

[crisp heath]

I haven't really messed with the "human experimentation" much but it seems like something fun to get into

[crystal forum]

also im a sucker for saving NPC's. i always end up with a ton of them at home

[queen laurel]

you're not the type of guy to think?

i will only save you if you are useful to me

[crisp heath]

Anything that isn't me or a building looks like road, sorry

[barren ether]

I used to build deathmobiles while on Adderall but I’d obsess over them too much and it was stressful lol. Nowadays I pick wayfarer and nomad and call it a day

[crystal forum]

yeah no deathmobiles take so much time to make

[barren ether]

Does suck though sometimes when I find a canoe

[crystal forum]

i just take whatever shitty car i have, stick a bunch of cargo spaces on it and maybe an M2 on the roof to pulverize trees

[crisp heath]

Yeah my runs go: spawn, make bunker, procure vehicle, fortify vehicle, drive around invincible for an hour, suddenly not be invincible, repeat next month

I'm a creature of habit and simple pleasures

[barren ether]

How big do your saves get

And how many overmaps

I find just traveling is far more entertaining than sticking to a single area

Especially with Mind Over Matter giving you teleportation now

[crisp heath]

Like filesize or play time?

Because I could not possibly tell you how big the files are lmao I don't check that shit

The thing you need to understand about these games is that I'm not good at them nor do I understand them particularly well. I jump in, fun around, get really good at one particular thing, and then do that thing every time I play

I'm not going to give much good info on the technical side and I don't know how to do anything except my one thing

[queen laurel]

wait, you see a complicated game where you can do a lot of possibilities, and you also just jump into it and do shit?

my man

[crisp heath]

More like I don't do shit lmao

I still never learned how water works in Dwarf Fortress lmao

[barren ether]

Dwarf fortress is a whole another beast

[queen laurel]

for a warhammer game i'm going to pay i'm contemplating on two things realms of ruin or Rogue Trader

[barren ether]

I can’t get into it due to its tile based nature even compared to Cataclysm

[crisp heath]

Oh I can play fortress until the file becomes uncorruptable

[barren ether]

Rogue trader rogue trader rogue trader

[crisp heath]

But I don't have any big experiments

I just... make it functional?

I don't get how people die in such absurd ways in dwarf fortress

Just don't make a bad fort

[queen laurel]

well i'll see if it's going to appeal to my type of combat, bringing the largest gun around and blowing everything up

[barren ether]

You need to smoke crack and have your dwarves invade goblin towns

[crisp heath]

Oh I use a mod so I play as goblins quite often

They're great, they're immortal you know

And very aggressive

I feed them to each other when things get tough

[barren ether]

Style over function is how I play and it works well enough

[queen laurel]

I play fallout new Vegas and you bet your *** I'm getting my self in power armor and carrying around the biggest weapon without problem

So I better be able to perform these functions in rogue trader for me to like it

[barren ether]

Well I used unoptimized builds such as plasma guns and power swords with whatever and it was fun

[crisp heath]

Unreal World does make absolutely absurd situations though

[barren ether]

Never played it

[crisp heath]

One time I successfully defeated a pack of wolves with a sword and then got ambushed by a bear because I didn't pray enough, killing me instantly

[barren ether]

God smote you for being an unbeliever

Very haram

[crisp heath]

It's even worse because I was playing a shaman I just didn't want to climb a tree to honor the bears 😭

I also once led the roaming human enemies into the village so they'd protect me but none of them did anything and a circle of children gathered to watch me get beaten to death

Also "you've got turnip. That's what you have to pay for."

[barren ether]

I gotta try this game. I think I’ve heard of it

It’s the Norse one right

[crisp heath]

Finnish but yeag

[crystal zealot]

Why do our characters react to the flamer as if they're reacting to something unnatural? It feels like that's how they should react to the pox burster or the mutant but not a basic human with armor and a flame thrower... what's the reason?

They go like "Oh emperor what is that"

and they call it a "thing"

and vet says "Ugly karker, aint it?"

Is it intentional shit talking since the flamer is like a traitor or something?

and they like, wanna piss him off or something? xD

[queen laurel]

It's probably because of how incredibly loud it is, like even for a
Heretic that guy is batshit insane

I'm talking straight up crazy enough to make joker impressed type crazy

[crystal zealot]

Ooh... do they have like a known reputation within lore?

[queen laurel]

Well flamers are not the most humane weapons to go up against considering what the fuel is of a normal flamer

And that guy willingly enjoys it

The rejects are just probably taken aback by the guys craziness

[crisp heath]

My guess would be at some point in the development process flamers were more heavily mutated and the voice lines just weren't updated before release

[crystal zealot]

i would understand better if that reaction was towards the toxic looking flame from the tox flamer... But our characters have a flamer of their own with the zealot

[queen laurel]

Yeah that Could also be the thing

[queen laurel]

Like strawberry tea said, probably meant for a different monster

Maybe the mutant

[crystal zealot]

Yea i thought so too but they have a nickname for mutant

[queen laurel]

Because the voice line said on the flamer is very fitting on that son of a biych

[crystal zealot]

which feels like they're familiar with it

"mutie"

[queen laurel]

Yeah i think they see the flamer as basically pyro from team fortress 2

Someone that enjoys fire to the point that it's very horrifying basically

[storm jungle]

yeah I had one of those voicelines

[queen laurel]

That's the easiest explanation i can pull out of my garbage bag

[storm jungle]

"Its karking Pyro from the hit videogame Team Fortress 2!"

was very random

but im glad fatshark pays respect to TF2 ingame

[queen laurel]

I'm going to hit you in the head so hard that it can achieve super sonic flight

Thanks for giving me something to dream about you sniveller

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

Mutants are a known thing in 40k, they're one of the big 3 enemies of the Imperium

The alien, the heretic, and the mutant

[storm jungle]

enemy in uh

massive quotation marks

[crisp heath]

Yeah more like "victims" in a lot of cases

[storm jungle]

just like real life

like me

[queen laurel]

Yeah mutants can be tolerated because you know the useful like

Hold on i'm not going to finish the joke it might be offensive

[barren ether]

“The gang gets cancelled”

[arctic talon]

Striking scorpions are free of the curse

[rose thorn]

I’m really surprised about this release

[urban spire]

the imperium distinguishes between natural mutation and mutation caused by warp influence

[arctic talon]

Guess the leaker was right after all heh

[urban spire]

poorly

[arctic talon]

Setting was wrong though

It’s on a ocean world

[urban spire]

but at least they don't burn abhumans at the stake

[arctic talon]

Well

They sometimes do

[urban spire]

the beastmen in 40k are treated better than in fantasy lol

[arctic talon]

[rose thorn]

I guess marketing thought that like, the 2 most asked redone eldar and space marines models weren’t deserving of their own release

[arctic talon]

Warhammer crime’s voidborn lynching scene

I love religious fanatics

[queen laurel]

Top 10 imperium crime moments

[barren ether]

Really just depends on the world and how fascist it is

[arctic talon]

Burning voidborn alive is

Heretical lol

[urban spire]

you'd be hard pressed to find one lower than a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 i reckon

[barren ether]

Abhumans living at the bottom of a hive city are generally forgotten about

[storm jungle]

I mean yeah

because people dont see them

they would still be killed or lynched on sight if it was any populated area

[barren ether]

Ah so just like living in the south with a trans fiancé/s

[urban spire]

nah just criminal

[near wasp]

Abhumans are tolerated cause they are useful but mutants are despited

[arctic talon]

Same difference

[urban spire]

well, justifying it with the emperor's faith might be herecy

heresy*

[plush mason]

dont voidborn spend like all of their lives in ships most of the time?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

They got given leave

And uh a few hundred got rounded up and burned alive

[near wasp]

Didnt the emperor have a plan to stabilize the human genome

[plush mason]

well ofc that would happen

[urban spire]

abhumans are stable

[plush mason]

its a Theocracy so that is literally the same thing lol

[queen laurel]

Yeah, it's literally one of the reasons why they are allowed in the imperium, the genetics are incredibly stable

[urban spire]

it isn't a theocracy

[plush mason]

no such thing as secular courts in a Theocrocy

iirc the lex imperialis is seen as a holy book

as are the lexes of the many worlds

[storm jungle]

Sad but almost the same thing yeah 💀

[urban spire]

most of the high lords of terra are not in the religious hierarchy

[plush mason]

they dont have to be

[crisp heath]

Honestly GW dropped the ball with 40k beastmen

I liked the idea that they were still humans who could be loyal, if somewhat touched by chaos

[plush mason]

their authority is from the worship of the god emperor who "appointed" them

[crisp heath]

But nope, they're basically just weird lesser daemons now

[queen laurel]

I expected them to be more fleshed out, i didn't expect them to have less lore than a random child in a hive city

[plush mason]

lol

[urban spire]

kings in feudalism were appointed by religious heads but feudalism is still not fundamentally theocratic

[weary bane]

Speaking of ships and people going to planets instantly being murdered

[arctic talon]

They are mostly loyalists

[barren ether]

Am actually speaking from experience lol. People will treat us like an anomaly when we act like normal people. Not to be serious but I relate to abhumans now lolol

[crisp heath]

I'd love to have a Canon "Good guy" Gor

[arctic talon]

Like

We only get chaos beaatmen

Because ?????

But most beastmen are imperium aligned lol

[weary bane]

Who remembers that age of tech ship that went through the warp, came out post horus heresy, the crew was like "oh hey humans" went down to the planet and were instantly executed and paraded around

[arctic talon]

Tzaangors are just weird

And I don’t really count them as beastmen in 40K

[weary bane]

And their ship ai was like "and fuck that shit"

Pretty sure it became part of a space hulk

[urban spire]

yeah it's a lot easier to relate to chaos than to the imperium as a trans person

[plush mason]

its a lot easier to relate to chaos for most people lol

[urban spire]

i REALLY wish that was true

lmao

[weary bane]

I mean you spend ANY time looking into chaos and you'd be like "hmm not good"

The ignorant believe chaos is better

[arctic talon]

Tbh on the surface

Chaos is appealing

The imperium on the surface is

you know

Not

[urban spire]

some people will look at the imperium and be like "ah this will be my personality"

[plush mason]

i dont count the weird neo-fash imperium stans in that group lol

[barren ether]

We live within the confines of our home most days and don’t bother anyone yet still get bigotry so yeah chaos is looking appealing 😭

[weary bane]

The imperium isn't just doom and gloom, it's just the hyperbole we get shown

[green loom]

I mean it is doom and gloom

[barren ether]

Anyways my path to becoming a Changer of Things starts today

[urban spire]

nah working class in the imperium is so poorly treated that chaos straight up sounds like a better deal

[green loom]

You should join me and make a based rebel faction with many berets

[urban spire]

i think inquisitor ravenor wrote about it even

[arctic talon]

Gulllimans good ol

What reason does a wretch have to not choose hell when he already lives in it

[crisp heath]

The Tau is a state I would be willing to live in if I were in dire straits and had to flee somewhere but would protest, Orks are cool from a sort power fantasy, party life angle. Other than that every faction sucks.

[urban spire]

i like that we have guilliman now

[arctic talon]

The imperium is pretty shit for the average civilian

[weary bane]

Idk, consider me a national but I'd simply never betray my people

[arctic talon]

Because the average civilian

Is living inside a forgeworld

[plush mason]

is chattle

[arctic talon]

Or hive city

And thus a slave at best

[weary bane]

Endentured servant

[plush mason]

nah

[arctic talon]

There’s nothing endentured

About working for the mechanicus

You’ll work your job till the day you die if you’re lucky

[urban spire]

the hardest line i've ever heard about nationalism came from a trans woman, paraphrasing: "Patriotism has become a foreign country to me, it is impossible for me to love a country that does not love me back"

[plush mason]

endentured servants still have rights. chattle slaves have none

[arctic talon]

If you’re unlucky you’ll get randomly kidnapped by a tech priest

[urban spire]

that was from abigail thorn

[crisp heath]

"Yeah I grew up in a hive city but enlisted so I could be stationed on an agriworld and finally see real nature"
The "real nature": miles of hydroponics vats, algae lakes and cotton-gin like contraptions that regularly remove hands

[arctic talon]

And then experimented on

There’s no silver lining

[storm jungle]

I'll happily betray my nation if its abetting genocide and being a fascist nightmare

[arctic talon]

To working under the mechanicus

You’ll never become a tech priest lol

Unless you’re a kid

And even then it’s unlikely

[storm jungle]

theres a reason chaos cults exist on every world on every single planet

[arctic talon]

Adults never get “promoted” into the priest hood

[weary bane]

I meant it in the concept of broader "my race of humanity vs xenos"

Humanity first

[crisp heath]

The Votann seem like they have their shit together, but we still have almost no updated lore so

[crystal forum]

it's ultranationalism distilled down to literal speciesism

[arctic talon]

Tbh it’s a surveillance state

[urban spire]

you can betray the imperium without betraying humanity

[arctic talon]

Based on what info we do have

[plush mason]

even then. the humans in the imperium have long lost all humnaity

[crystal forum]

the imperium wants to make humans think that betraying them is betraying humanity

[arctic talon]

Okay but the imperium vaguely gets along with the tau empire

So that doesn’t work

And by vaguely gets along

[plush mason]

only the very worst of human traits remain in the grim darkness of the far future

[arctic talon]

I mean they use them as a human shield

[weary bane]

Also, if you consider the fact the highest leading member of the imperium is g-man

[arctic talon]

G-man can’t fix anything

[weary bane]

It's members of the party, not the leader

[arctic talon]

He’s a bandaid over a hemorrhage

[crystal forum]

G-man couldn't fix his broken household

let alone the imperium

[arctic talon]

And the bandaid is a different flavor of totalitarianism

[green loom]

And gman is still a hyper fascist super Caesar intent on making a brutal meritocracy lol

[arctic talon]

One that’s more palletable

[urban spire]

rowboat's better than your average high lord of terra but he's not exactly great

[arctic talon]

But still comically evil

The imperium is meant to be comically evil

And awful

[plush mason]

"there is no innocence only degrees of guilt" coul never be more true when it comes to the imperium

[crystal forum]

what are we even talking about

[urban spire]

imperium bad

[weary bane]

How out of the entirety of 40k

I'd choose imperium

With no remorse

[crystal forum]

i'd kill everyone

[celest dome]

Like to live in ?

[arctic talon]

"To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable."

[plush mason]

ngl i would choose none of them

[arctic talon]

"It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable."

[celest dome]

I choose death, or exile

[crisp heath]

Farsight Enclaves are also relatively nice. Racially segregated and barely hanging on, but at least they aren't turning babies into supercomputers.

[arctic talon]

if I was in 40k gun to my head forced me to live somewhere its the farsight enclaves

[urban spire]

it's chaos for me, i want to have a stab at sorcery

[spare osprey]

where ever modern lion is i'm perfectly fine with going. he's been quite "rational" as of late

[arctic talon]

I would just kill myself

otherwise

[celest dome]

I'd join chaos, if it's hell. At least its honest hell

[arctic talon]

because at least with that

I can rest forever lol

[plush mason]

yeah

[arctic talon]

because my soul is going to get fucking shredded in a nanosecond

[celest dome]

Or get munched by a Daemon

[urban spire]

glomped by some kind of warp parasite

[arctic talon]

thats how getting your soul shredded works

yes

its instant

its painless

[crisp heath]

I've said this a couple times, but I honestly think Nemeton is an OK place to live, if you're fine with living in the bronze age

[urban spire]

well

[arctic talon]

unless you have strong force of will

in which that case

[urban spire]

we don't know that it is instant or painless

[arctic talon]

have fun being some daemons torture slave for an eternity

[crisp heath]

Like the thing that makes Nemeton suck is they're poor and uneducated, they aren't basically slaves like 99% of Imperials

[crystal forum]

i just want to infiltrate slaanesh's kingdom and tell them that they're ugly

[celest dome]

Well yes. But so is the fate of mortals

[plush mason]

a quick painless death is the best outcome anyone could hope for in 40k

[urban spire]

hey now

it's always worth trying to make things better

[queen laurel]

Getting reincarnated into a ork and having fun is the only outcome am willing to accept if i reincarnated in warhammer 40k

[plush mason]

fair

[arctic talon]

Sentenced to becoming a craftworld eldar

[plush mason]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/sentenced-judge-gavel-life-guilty-gif-12475856

[celest dome]

In all likelihood I would try to make thing better. And die a meaningless death

[crystal forum]

do you think detroit still exists in 40k

[arctic talon]

Yes

[crisp heath]

You're born a little on the small side, are mistaken for a tall grot, you work the mines until Badgruff Bigballz eats you

[urban spire]

it does not

[arctic talon]

its the average hiveworld

[crystal forum]

you are sentenced to detroit

[queen laurel]

I said ork not a giant gretchen

[urban spire]

earth (terra) is mostly ecumenopolis

[arctic talon]

NOOOOOOOOOO NOT DETROIT ANYTHING BUT DETROIT

[plush mason]

atleast make it the exorites, i want a dino

[celest dome]

Terra is just Detroit

[urban spire]

with some barren stretches of truly desolate land

[queen laurel]

Even though lowest of boyz have a place for war

I could sign up as a slugga boy

And probably die charging an infantry gun line but hey i had fun

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

Bro being a craftworld Eldar is literally living in utopia, imagine IRL but you basically get to do whatever you want minus going to über-hell if your soulstone gets broken 💀

[urban spire]

fucking hell that got racist REAL FAST

[arctic talon]

Being a craftworld Eldar would be great

till you know

death

[crystal forum]

it's the 80's man

[storm jungle]

I mean that depends

[arctic talon]

then you pray that your soulstone doesn't get broken or stolen

[queen laurel]

As long as the doom of malantai incident doesn't happen i'm pretty sure you're fine

[storm jungle]

if your soulstone gets recovered you are good

[arctic talon]

and you make it to the infinity circuit

[storm jungle]

über-heaven 🙏

[arctic talon]

if it doesn't well

thats gona suck

[crisp heath]

If you live on a craft world all your friends are going to be simultaneously horny and depressed 24/7 and honestly I'd prefer the sweatshop

[arctic talon]

if it does

👍

I should have written sentenced to being a Druhkari Kabalite

[plush mason]

but no dinos

[arctic talon]

lol

[crisp heath]

Haha get wraith'd

[arctic talon]

because being a Kabalite would suck

unless you're a psycopath

or sociopath

actually that applies to being dark eldar in general

[weary bane]

A detail I guess that feeds to my reasoning for picking the imperium over other forms of self comfort choices. Is I'm built on the "serve for a purpose larger than yourself" it's been my job for the last 8 years

[storm jungle]

I mean

[jade holly]

If you had to add a 40k rep into MK, who’s your choice?

[storm jungle]

thats easy to say when you arent living like the current Imperial citizentry tho is the thing

[jade holly]

Because they just revealed Omni Man in MK1 and that’s on my mind atm

[storm jungle]

AYO

[weary bane]

Sometimes I feel like that in the marine corps

[plush mason]

ngl i would suck as an eldar lol. i barely feel any emotions

[urban spire]

you could probably make some kind of autism-adhd analogy with how the eldar do professions but it wouldn't be great

[storm jungle]

To be fair when you are there you actually serve and fight for people that care about you.

In the Guard its deployment after deployment until you die and become worthless.

[queen laurel]

If I get put in a imperial citizens life i'm jumping off the highest point of the hive city

[green loom]

That one ethereal that's really good at fighting

Maybe a big guard/inquisition character

[weary bane]

Yeah, not everyone, not all the time

[arctic talon]

Aun'shi

[crystal forum]

i dont think trivializing it like that is a good idea

[weary bane]

I've mopped more floors in my career than I've shot bullets

[arctic talon]

this guy

would be funny

[crisp heath]

I think I'd survive living as an imperial, I just wouldn't be happy with it

[urban spire]

not my intent

[queen laurel]

This guy engaged in melee combat

[arctic talon]

but realistically its gona be like

Bobby G lol

[jade holly]

I was thinking maybe Roubute Gulliman, or Horus, at least a big name character

Or a Titan

[storm jungle]

Its close but its more that they live so long that an Eldar can just switch "jobs" or professions at any time.

Craftworlds literally have no crimes and everything on shops is free lol

[queen laurel]

How long does an eldar live without any you know outside interference

[crisp heath]

Oh working 16 hour shifts? In constant pain and can't get medical care? Eat flavorless food mainly designed to deliver nutrition? Be afraid of my government and neighbors? OK so just like real life except everything smells like incense

[jade holly]

Isn’t that all made up tho in their minds on a Craftworld?

[weary bane]

So more communist than tau ironically

[storm jungle]

I mean no

[green loom]

Hold on let's add godzilla

[jade holly]

I wish

[urban spire]

post scarcity more than communism

[jade holly]

[storm jungle]

Its not really communism as it changes depending on the craftworld

[weary bane]

You just said everything's for free

[urban spire]

shit aint communally owned on a craftworld

[green loom]

Celestine or one of the Phoenix Lords would work great actually

[weary bane]

Define things better then

[storm jungle]

idfk know how communism works, its a dumb system that never should be applied to humans

if thats what eldar do no wonder aliens do it better

[jade holly]

It’s very fragile to say the least

[crisp heath]

The worst part of a craft world is dealing with elves and I don't know if I can make that sacrifice

[weary bane]

It's a perfect desire that cares not for human factors

It's a dumb ideology

[storm jungle]

Basically

Eldar wont bitch when someone is getting more attention than them in a job position.

Humans do lol

[jade holly]

Theoretically, if everyone in the community is on board with not owning anything and providing benefits to the community through hard work

It works

[storm jungle]

Its why craftworlds are basically post scarcity utopias

[jade holly]

But that means you get nothing for your hard work

[crisp heath]

Guys let's not talk so bluntly about communism in the plastic army man server because this is the setup for another annoying argument

[green loom]

I'd serve these guys

[storm jungle]

Oh its brewing alright

[arctic talon]

Bretonians 💀

[crisp heath]

I know because I almost started it

[queen laurel]

Then over the ork settlement you just have to punch someone smaller than you then you have extra money to buy that gun you want

[jade holly]

Pelinal Whitestake called, he wants his armor back

[storm jungle]

if only it was like that IRL

[storm jungle]

Also random discord user discovers medieval armor

[queen laurel]

If only we had the same efficient currency the orks had

[jade holly]

Technically anything can be currency if you put value into it

Go ahead, knock that guy’s teeth out

[weary bane]

I mean by all means the imperium is corrupt, ain't perfect, has a lot of issues. But the alternatives ngl, not really better unless you ignore their issues

[jade holly]

Do it

[crisp heath]

I've devoted a lot of thought to the ork economy and I hate it

[green loom]

Ye olde Lady worshippers will stop him

[plush mason]

ngl i wish the guard used signifiers

[urban spire]

normally i am communism defender but i don't have the energy tonight

[crisp heath]

Farsight Enclaves literally exist

[weary bane]

[urban spire]

idk, don't talk shit about ideologies you don't understand

[jade holly]

That is the most generic Crusader looking army I’ve ever seen

[storm jungle]

Alright guys lets not get into that

make fun of societies that are actually shit, like you know

[weary bane]

Agreed, no winning or coming to a middle ground there

[plush mason]

its great as a concept sadly like most things we suck ass at making it work in practice lol

[crisp heath]

Yeah let's talk about something entirely unrelated, like Valhallans

[green loom]

Idk they're not all wearing crosses with massive tabards

They're actually all varied

[jade holly]

Wait

[green loom]

And they have a sort of historically accurate herald!

[jade holly]

Why tf do they have the Fleur de Lys on them?

[arctic talon]

Its accurate to the history of the old world

[crisp heath]

Oh man the next Grimworld (40k rinworld mods) update is adding Valhallan clothes

I'm pumped

[arctic talon]

They're french

[crisp heath]

I'm definitely doing Cain roleplay

[arctic talon]

Bretonians

are like French/British

[green loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60WQUG3XW3M&ab_channel=TotalWar

[queen laurel]

As a Ork fan would you care to explain

[green loom]

Arthurian myth

[queen laurel]

I would like to hear your reasoning

[green loom]

In general

[urban spire]

bronytonnia

[plush mason]

Bretonians are pure Arthurian French lol

[arctic talon]

Also much like the french they have a pretty brutal like

[jade holly]

Bruh that sounds horrible

[arctic talon]

pesentray opression

lol

[crisp heath]

Effectively its just an inflation nightmare

Teef are too abundant to use as money

[jade holly]

Arthurian is actually Welsh but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

[urban spire]

that's correct

[green loom]

It's a mix of british/french

[celest dome]

That's because it is.
Curse be upon them for being French

[crisp heath]

A loaf of bread must cost like 20,000 teef

[green loom]

But Arthur himself is belived to be from Wales right

[arctic talon]

its why Kruber

[crisp heath]

And are they measured by weight?

[arctic talon]

starts trying to do a french accent

[plush mason]

yes

[arctic talon]

after he's a grail knight lol

[queen laurel]

They deteriorate, which means they can't hoard them

[jade holly]

No he’s seen as the original Welsh or something, the flag of Wales is the Pendragon Crest

[green loom]

iirc Lancelot and the Grail are mostly French creations

[arctic talon]

and Kerellian is laughing at him proll because she's slaughtered a bunch of Bretonian presents during a great hunt

[jade holly]

Lancelot is a Gary Stu self insert made by someone else later on

[celest dome]

And we do know that there are Bretonnian immigrant in the Empire

[jade holly]

Real men follow Galahad

[plush mason]

yeah he is from some poem or something iirc

[urban spire]

i love warhammer fantasy so much

[plush mason]

same

[queen laurel]

Overtime ork teeth will degrade meaning you can't buy stuff with it keeping the prices constant

[celest dome]

Fantasy is better than 40k

[urban spire]

i hope the version they bring back doesn't suck

[jade holly]

mfw Lancelot was so cool in battle it made the leader of the enemy give up and swear allegiance

Like come on

[green loom]

But TLDR a lot of elements are from France/The Isles

[arctic talon]

Its from the time of 3 Emperors so

[jade holly]

That’s be and we know it

[arctic talon]

should be fine

Maliketh is

very active

[celest dome]

Very

[arctic talon]

in this timeperiod so should be fun lol

[plush mason]

espeically the starved plauge ridden pesants :P

[urban spire]

it is however pre-gotrek and felix

[jade holly]

We talking banging his mother active or?

[arctic talon]

Like

killing elves active

and humans

and dwarves

[green loom]

That's why Bretonnian Peasants in TW have english accents

[jade holly]

and banging his mother?

[arctic talon]

maybe

[celest dome]

The only sad part for me is that Old World won't have Josef Bugmans

[arctic talon]

💀

[urban spire]

pre-fall bugman

[green loom]

It's actually weird that Repanse speaks like the nobility

[jade holly]

I’m actually watching a video of a guy playing Total Warhammer 3 and he immediately declared war on every faction

He’s playing some undead vampire pirate

[plush mason]

i love being that Joan of Arc lady and turning them into super human undead slayers lol

[celest dome]

Dreadfleet ?

[jade holly]

Nico something

[urban spire]

vampire coast owns

[green loom]

Honour is all
Chivarly is all!

[urban spire]

one of the original factions invented for the total warhammer games

[arctic talon]

Its Aranessa Saltspite

I'm assuming

[celest dome]

I love that the Not Joan of Arc has Flaming attacks

[jade holly]

No

[plush mason]

yes

[arctic talon]

she's the only female Vampire Coast leader

so it has to be her lol

[celest dome]

Count Noctilus.
Nicolas Von Carstein

[urban spire]

i wonder if TWW3 is fun yet

[arctic talon]

idk

[jade holly]

Yup Noctilus

[arctic talon]

it has like my second favorite faction in TWW history

[green loom]

You guys catch this btw?

[celest dome]

Direfin ?

[green loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7VmhPjv9yI&ab_channel=Fatshark

[arctic talon]

I forgor she even exists

[queen laurel]

You haven't heard of ca shutting down its game that was supposed to be an fps?

[plush mason]

everyone forgets the opera singer ghost lol

[celest dome]

As they should

[urban spire]

no

[celest dome]

Hyena is canceled

[plush mason]

yeah

[arctic talon]

my favorite race in TWW is prolly Wood Elves or Daemons of Khorne lol

mostly since Daemons of Khorne let me turn my brain off

[plush mason]

the twilight sisters are so broken

[jade holly]

Papa Nurgle’s bois

[arctic talon]

and Wood Elves are very funny

[queen laurel]

Oh boy yeah they tried to get into the fps market, got Obliterated

[arctic talon]

but Daemons of Khorne are great fun

you just need to worry about how to deliver your guys into melee

unless you're using skullcannons

in which that case have fun with artillery lol

[urban spire]

OH HYENA

[queen laurel]

I would play total war warhammer 3 but i need the first one in order to play the green skins and the dlc for total war warhammer 2 to get the big fat goblin man

[urban spire]

no i heard about that

[celest dome]

I once read Sega's financial reports. And damn does pachinko work well

[plush mason]

just have Skarbrand solo the enemy army

[urban spire]

no hyena failed because nobody at CA wants to make a live service FPS

everyone who signed up to work at that company did so because they wanted to make totals war

[celest dome]

Honestly TWW3 is way to mismanaged

[arctic talon]

Skarbrand and Bloodthirsters are all comically overpowered lol

which makes sense

[plush mason]

yes

[jade holly]

Is Vermintide 2 still heavily played?

[arctic talon]

yes

[jade holly]

Bruh invaded Bela’kor’s kingdom with Noctilus and Noctilus alone

And won

[queen laurel]

Yeah but have you also heard of the new dlc with the changeling being a problematic can of worms

[celest dome]

Normand

[urban spire]

i have not no

[arctic talon]

isn't it 25$ lol

for like

almost nothing

[green loom]

It's a mishmash of Medieval Britain/France

[queen laurel]

Yeah

[urban spire]

yikes

[plush mason]

Noctilus is OP as hell once you get him going

[green loom]

Most of the cities are just pulled from France lol

[urban spire]

i guess i'm staying away from tww3 for a while longer

[jade holly]

He also had the Sword of Khaine

[plush mason]

yeah

GG

[jade holly]

Also hang on

[queen laurel]

@urban spire https://youtu.be/2x4aLyyiYHY?si=wgHBAYgh06FZQByZ

This guy covers the topic greatly

And basically explains why people don't like the shadows of change dlc

[bold stag]

looks inside 40k lore chat
warhammer fantasy lore

[arctic talon]

you want 40k lore?

we can go back to it

[bold stag]

na I just wanted to say a silly

[bold stag]

I have all total wars so

what no toughness does to a mf

[queen laurel]

https://youtube.com/shorts/TV7AWBYMJ1A?si=F7eDkXK3Q4MTCUcP

[plush mason]

why is it American football and not rugby tho?

[urban spire]

no american football is way more brutal

[celest dome]

Blood Bowl lore create so many implications for the broader warhammer lore

[crisp heath]

Because there was an American football tabletop game released a couple years prior and bloodbowl was a parody/competitor

[celest dome]

Should have been Hurling. That's a fun sport

[plush mason]

ahhhh

[urban spire]

they use less protective gear in rugby, which ironically means they can't go all out on each other as hard as they can in american football, so there's a lot less brain injury

[arctic talon]

Nuffle

[crisp heath]

Oh also that wasn't true, I just lied because I didn't ķnow

[plush mason]

lol

[queen laurel]

Only in american football can a 250 lb guy bull rushed tackle a poor man into submission

[arctic talon]

so how about that Striking Scoprion lore

[urban spire]

i read a striking scorpions novel once

i don't remember a single fucking thing about it

[crisp heath]

Elves, don't care

[queen laurel]

Ok that's another one that doesn't like the Elves

God damn this list is getting quite long

I think i can even measure the mariana trench with this

[storm jungle]

Elf haters tend to be like that lol

[arctic talon]

Elves bad doesn't even work as a joke in WHF

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

it at least works in 40k

[urban spire]

i don't dislike eldar

[arctic talon]

but I don't get the people who make jokes about it in WHF lol

[crisp heath]

I would love the eldar if we got some exodite content

[arctic talon]

Wood elves and Dark Elves are dicks yeah

actually they're both straight up psycopaths

tbh

[crisp heath]

Wood Elves only good elves

[arctic talon]

but High Elves are the only ones who regularly interact with humans lol

and they're like fine

[queen laurel]

Why am i surprised

[celest dome]

I like dwarves because I'm a bloody one

[arctic talon]

Wood Elves on their way to slaughter an entire Bretonian town because some pesant pissed on a tree

[crisp heath]

As is rightful

[storm jungle]

Its not that

Wood Elves dont actively attack Bretonnians

the actual reason is a lot more funnier

[queen laurel]

Wood elves about to stab and gut a child because that child decided to punch a tree for being mad

[celest dome]

They also do it for funnies.
Wild hunt style

[arctic talon]

isn't it literally because of the Wild Hunt

and thats why lol

[storm jungle]

they got this yearly/annual thing where they gotta call the Wild Hunt because the tree spirits keep murdering wood elves, and they help to satiate their hunger by turning them to the Bretonnians

its fucking hilarious

[barren ether]

I’m doing yard work right now and I fucking hate wood elves

[arctic talon]

Yeah thats what I thought lol

the Tree Spirits are uh

not friendly

[storm jungle]

Durthu

is literally Hitler

[arctic talon]

yep

[storm jungle]

Very big racist tree grandpa that hates everyone

[barren ether]

Whoever created ground junipers were definitely a fucking knife ear

Goddamn leaf eaters

[crisp heath]

Listen sometimes you just need to be turned into fertilizer by a tall, tanned knife-ear

I don't see the issue

[queen laurel]

I think in warhammer fantasy the only nitpick i have one it is that orks are considered a lot more chaotic evil than in warhammer 40k

[storm jungle]

they also kill bretonnian nobles and burn their castles I see this as an absolute win

[queen laurel]

I mean they're basically exactly the same but they're just more evil on fantasy i guess

[arctic talon]

tbh Orcs in WHF are much more traditionalish

Orcs

Orks in 40k are uh

goofy

[celest dome]

French death. What more could we ask for

[queen laurel]

Yeah go in this direction destroy it after destroying that direction go to this direction and destroy it

[crisp heath]

Listen I fell in love with wood elves from Dwarf Fortress, where they spit in my face and then raised an army larger than the population of China because I cut too many trees

I quickly fell in love

And Warhammer Wood Elves are just more of that

[queen laurel]

Are bretonnians basically the british and the french of the warhammer fantasy universe

[urban spire]

sort of a consistent problem with writing in warhammer 40k and fantasy is that it's primarily marketed at 14 year old boys and every now and then when the writing gets interesting the prime programming reasserts itself and you get a new ultramarines

[queen laurel]

Where everyone just hates them equally

[celest dome]

Wait, 2 population faction, who begrudgingly live together but are ready to kill each other.
Damn, I'm not a Dwarf, Belgium are Wood Elvess

[arctic talon]

just read Warhammer Crime for like

non space marine content

[storm jungle]

Yes.

[arctic talon]

its actually good

[storm jungle]

Bretonnians are legit awful

[arctic talon]

you'll never have to hear about marines

or any stupid ass bolter porn

[crisp heath]

They're Arthurian, which is part of British and French culture

They lean a bit more french most of the time

[celest dome]

Albion is tech the British, but really its the Hifh Elf
With Orcs for the Brit Chav

[queen laurel]

Holy Gork and Mork

[barren ether]

WHF Dwarf supremacy

[storm jungle]
