Imperial Armor is the ONLY place you'll read about logistics yeah
Lemme tell ya, running ammo for 5 hours is not my idea of fun
Eldar logistics via webway gate
Lul
just counting battle-groups and what warriors you will be taking
not uh
HOW MANY NADES
HOW MUCH FOOD
HOW MANY MEN
HOW MANY VEHICLES
💀
Taros Campaign is a great example
Imps ran out of supplies and got their ass kicked
Where they run out of tank shells lol
Anphillion Project yup
And then get over run by a bio titan
No even better
Inquisitor kills a bio-titan all by himself
another fucking one shows up from the fog
book ends there

KEK
LOL
Yeah and then you cut to the logistics parts
and it just says the mission was an absolute failure
god I love Imperial Armor
But yeah logistics is funny
If you pay it too much mind you'll probably hate yourself
Like most of the people here
Imperial armor has a lot of dry humor
Just in time for the.... holidays?

You could do it faster and with less people by having the truck just deliver to the final line directly, or maybe having only 1 buffer lifter
Is that marvel
2000AD
2000AD is one of the bigest inspirations behind warhammer
so that checks out
Aye
Definetly in style during the very early years. The kinda... slightly juevinile, punk, post-pop political satire
I'd love to see people talk more about the topic
its very underrated beyond some other circles
yeah when people talk comics it's only ever DC and Marvel
hell. Warhammer had a monthly comic strip for like 20 years
but those comics definetly took themselves more seriously then the average 2000ad Prog
yeah Warhammer Monthly, miss that a lot
shame it just died because GW didnt wanna invest in it
The Comic Book market is really really small so I can understand dropping it. The most popular batman comic at any given time only sell less then 50k units
Which to me is small atleast for how big the cultural impact feels
I trawled through Warhammer Monthly a while ago to read all the Malus Darkblade strips.
I... do not like the Strip format, must make it a real pain to read a single story from start to finish
But 2000ad, Warhammer Monthly. They were exactly the kinds of stories I wanted to read as a kid.
A lot of people grew up with em so i can entirely agree there
Are the auric class operatives just the imperial guardsmen we pass by in the start of some levels
No
Because I don't think there's any groups super powerful involved no assassins no space marines
Auric operatives are like us just fancy
A lot of people have blamed it on how difficult it is to get into American comics compared to manga that just start at Volume 1
Actually I think we're basically the auric operatives now, seeing as we're doing auric missions
Ye thats what I was thinking I was watching a video that was like claiming it meant theres assassins or something like no thats dumb
If you count us as assassins 
like the guardsmen we pass by are no different to us I guess?
No they're actual military/pdf
They have Atoman markings
We're red and black, grey/blue is Atoman
huh i swear in my head i see the red and black outfits in a few of the levels like the ones on the ship
Uhh maybe in like
The refinery
And
Ugghh
Yeah nah the refinery one
There's a squad of like 5 I think
yeah maybe i haven't played in a while so maybe i'm misremembering
Auric Operatives are led by Melk, the Rejects by Morrow, but we're taking on missions that should fall on Melk's group
They probably get less replenishement than we do
We’re doing their job with worse ammo
What's ammo?
warhammer just has the coolest lore, its so crazy in-depth
i never played the tabletop or read a book, i think i just randomly got a youtube video recommendation years back about space marines or something and fell in love from there
im excited for the henry cavill thing, i think hes supposed to be making a netflix show
Amazon
if it were anyone else but Cavill I think I could care less, but since Cavill has proven he is a stalwart lore follower, I'm excited
That guy gets wanked on for doing absolutely nothing lmao
if by nothing you mean preventing writers from bastardizing lore and being a GAMER then HELLLL YEAH
I need this as a Zealot outfit NOW
I wonder if anyone will make a spoiler thread for the Creed book before long
Curious to see what happens
Creed book?
Ashes of Cadia
OH Ursula
She's Creed smh
Im waiting on a spoiler thing from Shaskais
i dont trust r40klore because they are dumbasses that redtape any good juicy novel spoilers lol
Every cosmetic that gets added has to be approved by GW
its been like this since Vermintide, its pretty dumb
Everywhere I go, I see the gas mask
They wouldn't have done sets for all classes if it was even barely in doubt
Yeee
Jokes on them i didnt buy it
and bought marauders instead
So like, I get the whole thing about tech heresy and how it's basically a major plot.
But the fact that technology in the Imperium has remained stagnant for 10,000 years is mind boggling.
Like we went from horse drawn buggies to VTOL aircraft in the span of less than 100 years.
It seems so egregiously against human nature to remain that technologically stagnant for that long
So okay let me tell you a secret
stuff still gets invented
the admech just lie about it

ok fair lol
and I guess if some smart human makes some cool shit the arbites gonna just knock his entire hab block down
Yeah basically its a mix of admech finding pre-existing tech to add to the Imperium's arsenal or just inventing shit in secret and calling it a new "discovery", keep in mind not a lot of the admech do this only the actually smart ones that know the mechanicus creed is bullshit do.
The point is the non-invention thing is sitll very widespread and one of the reasons why the Imperium is a shithole.
look at the Votann, they got advanced tech and work-forces that arent lobotimized innocent people and they are mostly doing great lol
Can't he just say that it came to him in a dream by the admech symbol?
Not sanctioned, he's a HERETIC
Maybe there is an admech version of Thorite ideal
The Votann are entirely seperate from the Imperium though aren't they? I honestly don't know much about them other than they're squats lol
Votann in 40k are basically abhumans that evolved into their own race through cloning.
They still use semi-human looking tech it just has a dwarf flair.
the point is that the Imperium has no reason to be doing anything its doing when you compare to Votann society.
their entire thing is that they are self-defeating
This is true. How about the farsight enclaves? Are they faring well enough without the Etherals guiding them technology wise?
Pretty much yeah, they just need supplies sometimes since they a rogue enclave but they are pretty much a Tau faction without the downsides.
So all the Etherals did was basically make the Tau mind controlled into servants, creating peace, and then the Tau were always smart enough to develop technology when they weren't yeeting pointy sticks at each other?
We dont exactly know
Its hinted to be a bit of mind control and just massive propaganda/reconditioning?
Theres a fucking hilarious scene where an Ethereal literally goes
"Kill yourself." to a tau and they just do it

Tau empire has an absurd amount of propaganda. They might just be getting brainwashed the old fashioned way and have no reason to question it due to their quality of life
Then Farsight happened
Yeah but even a small crack can lead to a major hole if left unchecked
He just doesn’t think the ethereals should be the ruling caste
Which yeah pretty logical
All Farsight needs to do to begin removing the veil is to simply ask the right questions
Doubt it
The tau empire is super heavy with propaganda
And farsight is dead to the public
I believe
Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken has an australian accent
but you could probably get awayy with any action star accent. Australian, German, Belgian... whatever Stallone has
But as far as I knew they left technology because technology was corrupting them into debauchery.
What's a maiden world?
Its basically a lush, green, nature world that is untouched and vibrant with life
It wasnt technology, it was their excessive emotions
Exodites still utilize tech.
inhabited by amish dinosaur riding eldar that will kick your ass for stepping on their lawn
wood elves
With lasers
Then they prefer riding dinosaur into fight instead of something that would be more... high-tech and functional?
Because its a tabletop game.
You kinda need an aesthetic lol
and dinosaurs are kewl
that part, I understand..
for some reason they are criminally underutilized
Space Wood Elf... never thought I'd hear something like that.
Welcome to 40k then
we also got space orks
and space samurai
and space knights
and space monks
and space paladins
long list

space nuns
that too
lots of trademarks

that and 40k is literally fantasy in space
you'll see a lot of those tropes
'nothing new under the sun' and all that

So they're not really a separate faction then? Just part of the Eldar population that decided to not to live on Spaceship and go green on the tech side and watched the animated series Dragon Booster?
They are a seperate faction culturally, they are still the same race.
Its like how Dark Eldar are Dark Elves, Craftworld Eldar are High Elves and Exodites are Wood Elves
and for Exodites yeah they wanted to literally be that one farm guy meme
Do Dark Eldars fight with Craftworld Eldars ?
Dark Eldar fight with anyone
^
but they are mostly in their own dimension in the Webway chilling, they dont actively go to war, they commence raids for slaves
they arent a big player in the galactic theatre
So, they (Dark Eldar) are NOT allied with Craftworld Eldars.
But according to what I was told here, Exodites are in treaty/alliance with Craftworld Eldars.
It depends from exodite world to exodite world
and Dark Eldar will sometimes ally with Craftworld Eldar if they wanna get something out of it.
its not a simple subject
Commoragh is like a MC Esher painting if was a cyberpunk hellscape complete with military factions that more so resemble the mafia and street gangs that resemble tribes
Basically detroit but more spikes and no physical laws.
I think in one of the books the DEldar's best weapon was luring an Imperial Warparty into the city itself
Yeah their future leader Vect also did this
he stole a Salamanders battle-barge from realspace and let them wreck havoc on the upper spires of the city's central area
that coincidentally killed all the noble families
WHAT A TRAGEDY
Anyway after that he let them leave and usurped them to become the sole tyrant of the city

Now a more... broader question, How big of a threat Necrons are compared to Orcs or Tyranids?
EXTREMELY deadly
Necrons got tech that is basically magic to us
one Necron dynasty has a star map where if you click on a planet it just explodes lol
How about compared to Eldars?
Still higher
Eldar are a post-scarcity society
Necrons in comparison mostly got all their tech unharmed
wdym unharmed? Eldar tech didn't survive the birth of sex god/dess?
Slaanesh is not a sex god
also its more that Eldar tech is already pretty advanced, its just not more destruction oriented like Necrons.
the most basic necron weaponry can kill tanks lol
What's stopping them from making kebab out of rest of the factions then?
A lot of things
Eldar?
Necrons have dynasties
their dynasties are fractured
^
or Necrons
Necrons are an absolute clusterfuck of internal politics
they all hate each other
Most necrons have been asleep for millennia, time has not been kind to them
and it takes time to get them to agree to wake up and... then eventualyl wake up
and also they're eepy
Like most of the necron dynasties are like
under 1% operational rn
their ruling class is still harbouring grudges from the ancient era
Also yeah Necrons need these downsides otherwise they'd entirely wipe out the entire setting lol
yeah they are uh
oneo f the few factions that actively needs nerfing
otherwise they kill everything
lmao
Who wins
a Necron Death moon full of troopers or a SoB Celestian with a few Krak Grenades
ye
Necrons fully awakend would no diff every faction but Pre-fall eldar
and even then uh
Miriya
its not great lol
Yeah like uh
for the Eldar
the Imperium should be glad the Celestial Orrery
is under the wardenship of a good necron dynasty
lmao
In that martial tech meter, where do Tau stand?
Tau are below Eldar and Necrons
but above the Imperium
they are pretty utopian techwise
in terms of average tech Tau > Imperium
in terms of peak of tech Imperium > tau
but Tau have widespread super high tech stuff
while in the Imeperium farmer blobimus is dying of dysentary
because there isn't plumbing on his planet
taht said I think their warp travel is under-devolped
Its functional now
its iffy
don't use too many at once

Right
What's their (Tau) weakness then? Numbers?
In other words
melee is a weakness for infantry if you can get to melee
but don't punch a battlesuit lol
they're the smallest faction in the setting bya long shot
Eh, we got numbers

You can’t shoot them all

at least not fast enough

Think of them as a freshly sprouted seed, would take absolutely minimal effort for any other faction to stomp them out of existence, but the act of stomping them would leave their back turned to a real threat
Tau also suffer from the fact that in a realistic war they'd absolutely beat the Imperium but your WW2 tactics somehow always become superior
because dumbass writers
Tau also are like
way too hard to properly remove as well
you have to put enough effort in you're fucked elsewhere
So, basically Human are just more civilized Orcs in a galaxy full of High-tech Aliens with population issues (of varying degree)?
Yeah the Tau, if they’re being smart, will almost always sit back and keep zoning out troops with their superior firepower and agile battle suits
they have no reason to charge headlong into a fight
calling a Human in 40k a fantasy orc is an insult to fantasy orcs
in terms of how racist they are
and in terms of how violent they are
LMAO
Humanity is nothing more than a cautionary tale of how horrible we can become when driven to our most extreme to survive
Like Humanity in 40k
Yeah kinda, ironically enough you could argue that Ork's and Necrons are better at representing something we can find relatable as humanity than most of the imperium
Yeah... but 40k Orcs are not as mellow as regular orcs either...
It’s meant to show not only the horror but pure stubbornness and skill of how we can survive against all odds
40k Orks are fucking bonkers
And the biggest factor that favors the Imperium for survival is the number?
And plot armor
That and their pure stubbornness
and plot armor too I guess
But mainly the stubbornness
Number, stubborness, plot armor
plot supported birth rates
realistically speaking the Imperium would have collapsed without Big E years after the Horus Heresy
yeah

lol
And let’s be honest here none of the factions would really be doing good right now besides maybe the nids, Chaos and the Necrons
Wow... it almost sounds like the Imperium won't be that much better off even if the Emperor revived.
I maen yeah they wont
Jim you are way too smart for your own good just gonna put that out there

most newcomers cant even make these correct assumptions

I think the idea is to show the Imperium as the underdogs?
nah
Make anathema
Like they were supposed to be shown as that but GW made them the protagonists cause humans
Fucking do something with chaos please you've been moving pawns up the board for two decades make something happen goddamnit
individually or in a battle they might be but the imperium is meant to be this decaying siezure having hulk
the average human is an under dog
the levithan military industrial complex of the Imperium is not
well, as a whole
What faction would y’all say is doing the best off atm?
Necrons by far
mostly since big daddy Sezerak just came home
isolate a single system ad throw any threat at it and sure you got an under dog fit for a glorious last stand
Chaos did just catch their first dub in ages but they're just gonna fuck it up when they use Corvus or Russs to undo it and sell minis
What was their dub?
brother if i become a military general, even I who is a dumbass can give significant damage to the imperium, I think the only time they will stop me is when they pull out some ******** super weapon from out of nowhere because plot
Chaos has been winning for all of 8 and 9e
so
Warhammer needs to start killing off major characters again it feels disney-tier safe writing wise I am so far removed from the feeling of "Oh man I'm not even sure if this main character is gonna make it to the end of the chapter"
I doubt Gw are going to make them get their shit stomped completely
Warhammer never kills major characters
like
ever
Like thats a constant
Horus?
it took Endtimes for Fantasy to start killing off characters
Not really, they just undo it all to make an imperium character look cool so you end up walking back and forth over the same tile on the game board
Dead as a fundamental part of the setting
Horus was always dead
except they haven't
Like
Chaos is absolutely beating the imperiums ass rn
he really doesn't count i mean they straight up just kill a character because they have no use for it
There have been characters here who aren't even good that have been here for too long
Horus is also mega dead
I'm talking levels of if you try to reassemble him you're going to make a new guy because his soul was annihilated type dead
I have a question about Horus Heresy, He led his Space Marines into battle against the loyalists and the emperor. But how did Traitor guard and Dark Mechanicum came to be? Were they also convinced by Horus to fight for them?
The classic case of disillusionment
Chaos gives them an offer and they accepted
Guard were angry because of the great crusade being so brutal and probably seeing it more like a Civil War
Dark Mechanicum wanted to lift the restrictions the stopped them from going complete mad scientist
well, it was the Imperial Army and other protectorates of the Imperium
The institution of the Army would be split by Guilliman into Guard and Navy
This one really makes me wonder what the emperor was thinking innovating is literally one of the things you need to keep a civilization together
More interesting setting
The old things can only keep up with the ever changing Galaxy for so long
Honestly, as much as the Space Marines are neat on a surface level, I think the other parts of the Imperium are cooler
Like the Inquisitions
100% i prefer the imperial guard
Aka the 40k equivalent to The Suicide Squad
They may have not the best equipment and stuff
but if they pull out the W just it's extra special
The Imperial Guard are where the true stubbornness and determination of humanity shines imo
they allow for different stories to be told
Space Marines are more like Greek demi-gods.
Space Marines are fun from a mythological standpoint
Whilst Guard is your boots on the ground ww2 militrary fiction
And also SMs can get hella wacky
But sometimes the wackiness of the legions and chapters are the fun parts
To be fair they also mix in other types of military tactics not just world war 2
Like how the Death Korps are pure WW1
We don't talk about that one
Down to Trench Warfare and running headlong over No Man’s Land
Why not?
they don't even use trench warfare
sure
They favour infantry shock assaults and artillery
Do they actually use cavalry? Is it found to be effective?
So Blitkrieg which was essentially trench warfare strategies outside of a Trench
Considering that cavalry can be effective for shock attacks yeah
bombard the enemy then make a mad dash for them
that's the specialty of the armageddon steel legion
Armaggedeon Steel Legion is more so Blitzkrieg with their Chimera transports
I do like me the Steel Legion
There was this... animated video in youtube where they fought against a group of traitor guard and a couple of chaos marine. The cavalry charge was awesome!
I should read Yarrick because I know little about their unique culture
Also the horses they using will literally eat meat and literally have so many cybernetic implants that they can survive a good amount of damage
Ah yes, robo horse
Yarrick died of old age until they reveal he didn't
Yeah mechanize infantry is the name of the game with this one
You know what group I’m surprised GW hadn’t taken inspiration from to make Imperial Guard or SM designs?
The Winged Hussars of Poland
They will overwhelm a position with so many transport vehicles containing infantry that they will take it
while having armored support for those transport vehicles
I think the Vostryan's could do something like that
fits under their umbrella of inspiration cultures
Those guys look like a mix of the British Royal Guard and Russian winter clothing more than anything
Lorgharh
So Eastern European
yuh
specifically Russian Stretylize
can't spell it
Ian Arbritator has a video on the realworld inspirations of the guard
After the heresy, afaik Space Marine Legions were broken into chapters, each containing 1000 marines.
So, when Guilliman returned, what happened to that structure for the chapters that were successor to Ultramarines? Did they just merged and formed the Ultramarine Legion again?
Nah
it was his idea to break them up in the first place
Their probably happier he's back and more willing to follow his orders
also I would think that reforming the Ultramarine Legion would be a bad move politically, considering 50 percent of all Chapters are Ultramainres (I heard this somewhere)
in their Chapter formations their more able to act independently
All the chapters that were fragments of Ultramarines, Do Guilliman just command them separately now?
So if he wants to lead into a battle or something, he'll have to call upon nearby chapters that are available (not preoccupied) and hope that the chapter master responds to his call?
probably, but I think he's all but incharge of the Ultramarines
THeir successors, he's literally their dad and would be more then happy
and given the scale of the conflicts it's more like 'X chapter go here and do this, Y chapter over there and pursue this goal' as part of the Indomitius Crusade
He is also the leader or something or the Imperium so he can also give orders to other chapters
but they aren't as beholden too him as each chapter is it's own independant war machine beholden to their own goals who offer their services where-ever they see fit
but with the great rift the proverbial backs are against the wall
Given the Lion has returned as well, did it cause any friction between the two living loyalist primarch? What he (Lion) has been doing since his return?
One would think there would be some conflict but his return is rather recent and I don't think there has been any further lore
The lions pretty much just been fucking shit up in the imperium nihilus
Or whatever the darker part is caked
Ah yeah their spit by the great rift
Would codex compliant space marines fire on their own units if they are in the area hostiles are in as well?
I bet they probably would if it was militarum units
But with fellow astartes I doubt they would unless it was hugely worthwhile, eg. Taking out a very high value target
some marines are bigger dicks then others
add in the harsh realities of warsh stuff
I know that... in the Guard the Scintillian Fusilliers are known for shelling other regiments positions
Wow... took me some time to get the basic understanding of what Imperium Nihilus is!
I mean like, does the codex forbid it, and certain chapters violate it? Or does it just say basically “use your own discretion”
sounds efficient though, feed your warhorse with the corpses of your enemies (and likely own dead troops)
Depends entirely on what they're like
He grabs anyone, he's Regent of the Imperium, so functionally Emperor currently
The Ultramarines proper are still led by Calgar
Larger formations of chapters aren't uncommon rn, but any that get established from the Unnumbered Sons tend to fulfill the same purpose as chapters did before, so they operate by the same rules
It probably doesn't
Provided it's worth it/you're willing to risk it
In one of the tau books it quotes a part of the codex related to civilian casualties but I didnt know if that extended to your own soldiers
We know marines like the Malevolent are willing to shell that way, and it's entirely possible a lot of others would do the same
It helps the sallies were going into a slaughter they had no real chance of stopping anyway
Not really, seems fairly standard looking
i dont think so. only a passing resemblance
Were the "Primarchs", the emperors children, birthed normally? Or did he "create" them? Also how many are they?
Primarchs were created
Emperors Children made as any other space marines via modification of a human
So they were birhted like a normal human then got modified?
Yes
Like you get human child and then modify it
Primarchs were personally engineered by emps, there's 20 of them total including the two striken from records
Only Fulgrim is Emperors Children
Of the primarchs
Their creation was way different than space Marines created from em later
Technically they’re based on him
The Primarchs were all made in tubes
It's somewhat a stretch to consider them humans
Yeah, they look human but are pretty far from an average person
Frankly the primarchs are slightly less human than the emperor
iirc there was also warp fuckery involved
He was at least "born"
If i understood correctly, space marines were created 'from' the primarchs?
Did they like, take a sample sperm or just dna?
They use something called Geneseed, (made from the primarchs' genetic material iirc), along with a shit ton of drugs and extra organs to buff up regular humans
Genetic samples
Each primarchs DNA was used as a base for geneseed used for their respective legions essentially
2 of them are unknown as they were completely eradicated from all records
So they're not from the emperors sperm but his genes directly?
Do they have his warp prowess? Or are they physically strong only?
Magnus had the most prolific psyker bs
But it seems they all had some untapped psychic potential
Are they prone to corruption as well?
I know the emperor can be, but his might is so strong that no demon can
that right?
Oh xD
They're probably immune to daemon possession due to their nature but they're not immune to corruption
Is corruption just a change of ideals and like, ones own volition ? Or is it also forced like a daemon posession?
Some go willingly, others are forced into it
Both
Fulgrim was possessed for a bit
Oh ye
The emperor basically did Erda super dirty
She was devoted to and fawned over him for centuries
Unfortunately Emps was already dating Malcador
Then he hit her with "hey wanna have kids? Specifically 21. Great, give me a DNA sample. What? No, you can't raise them."
lmao
nah. the twins wherent planned to be twins afaik :P
So they didn't even intercourse
nope
The emperor is gay
Probably
for who xD
for big men with bodies like greek gods
He had two boyfriends, an old wizard and a buff guy he kidnapped as a baby
tfw still not really sure how I feel about the whole erda thing
So emperor is a fan of ogryns?
Malk was just his bro and frankly the real brains of the whole operation
Is malk the wizard?
yes
He probably hated them considering how hard he was into eugenics
Malcador
I'll give you that the Emperor might not have been in love with Malcador, but Malcador was definitely in love with the emperor
I think Emps would probably be down with abhumans. They're still human and he did abolish racism among human nations.
But yeah surrounding yourself with muscular monsters with oiled bodies who can't disobey you, it kinda shines through a certain way
ngl i can see that, because i doubt he was able to put up with the emperor's main dumbass ideas just out of practicality
He wanted to restore the holy human form or some bs per recent stuff, so prolly not
There's literally a short story where the Emperor makes Malcador sob openly by telling him he was just a pawn
Akakaka
And Malcador refuses to believe him but is just demolished anyway
So the Emperor cares more about the big picture rather than an individuals feelings?
the fact it says "holy" makes me assume its all bullshit lol
He cares about his vision
Oh absolutely, Emperor is mainly written as a sociopath these days
Nothing matters but the plan
the emperor in life hated all forms of faith
It's not the wording used, but his entire thing is saving the human genome
yeah that is in line with the imperial truth
His old title pre Emp days was "The Master of the Lines"
save the human genome, spread humanity across the stars
As in, blood lines, not "spitting bars" lines
damn he really is a scumbag
neat, i only know of his title "the lord of lighting" from that time
Isnt spreading humanity further increases the potential of the warp?
yes
Is this like the emperors long con to get the warp to birth a demon lord or something? xD
the emperor was a mess of contradictory views and actions
That's one theory yeah
"the last church" is a great showing of just how BS his ideas where
Emps in general is difficult because he was existing as basically a plot device
I've never dug into last church but I hear it's like
A 5 year old's idea of an argument
They should rewrite the Emperor like the old story and then scrap the entire HH series
Give it the Inquisitor Wars treatment
do it
Touch the cow
Do it now
i might tip it
whats hh
Horus Heresy?
basically the heresy is the event that made the imperium the cess pit it is today
My man got literally eradicated from existence
It’s time to return what was borrowed
Soul obliterated
Message got late because of bad internet
an unironic act of mercy as the chaos gods controlled his soul and would have made him a slave after death
it also prevented them from bringing him back to life
Return of Primarchs?
I like to think that Horus realized what he did as he was getting annihilated and felt regret
he realized it before that happened afaik
Emp Children tried to make a clone of him
he died crying and begging for forgiveness but it was too late
But Abaddon despoiled them out of existence
and failed because it lacked his soul and thus had none of Horus' power
Fabius grew a new Horus but Abaddon was having none of that
It wasn't truly Horus yeah
Horus got completely wiped out of reality, not a trace so that chaos gods couldn't pull a "lol, lmao" and just resurrect him like Lucius
yup
Also is a 13th Black Crusade was won by either side?
Like Chaos expanded a Great Rift a lot
But lost also a lot of ships and other assets
Technically a chaos victory
It's hard to say if it's pyrrhic because the entire galaxy did get torn in half letting chaos have a way easier access into, but some irreplaceable things were also lost, such as a Blackstone fortress
Nah , I am planning to rewrite my chaos Warband which splinted away from Black Legion because high casualties
Is there a wolf like creature in wh40k?
Yes, plenty, THunderwolves for the Space Wolf
There are default wolfs
Wirewolf for Chaos
Also Space Wolfs (Astartes Chapter)
psyker said she had a dream of a wolf like creature that had a mind of its own. Is it just a random voice line or is it connected to something?
Might be, might be not, Psykers have been getting a lot of interesting tibids such as the sister hive pop actually being still alive
Or Zolas growing unease
The most direct connection I can make (based only on name lul) is Captain Wolfer
The guy from prologue and who now talks to you occasionally
What about the veterans dream?
He dreamt his teeth fell off and laughed at him
He also called them karkers
Is pop the hives name?
Pop is short for Population
Just a weird dream, Psyker dreams on other hand tend to be foreshadowing of events due to their nature
Teeth falling out and being laughed at are 2 of the most common types of dream, I've had both
Just a little funny the team did mixing them up like that
There's an inquisitor who got plastic surgery to turn him into a horse
Is this the same inquisitor that's in Gaunts Ghosts 1?
In theory
Though apparently felinids are pretty much just humans with claws
This is an observation made by Kroot, so there may be more differences not apparent to them
Abnettverse moment
Iirc Hyperion shows up in Eisenhorn before he becomes a grey knight
Is he similarly a dick in Eisenhorn?
Yeah Heldane fucking sucks
It's a good thing he gets 1-2d by Mkoll and Bragg
Or I forget who the 2nd guy was but Mkoll defo
I said about it week ago or so
Vespids are wasp people
Not abhoomins doe
I was thinking specifically of furries and did not realize how broad this question was
Fulgrim is an animal person
What are the lore of daemonhost of darktide?
this level of monstruosity is not supposed to be on board of warband's level missions
A Daemonhost is a living mortal body used as a receptacle to bind a daemon, differing from a possessee in that the daemon does not possess or control the mortal, but is bound into it. The Daemonhost is used by another mortal
basically the dregs just offered a daemon a Body
I don’t think the victim is consenting though?
And the demon that's using the body is rather quite weak since our strike team is strong enough to take it down
The Daemon seems to take over
Wasn't there literally a girl one time that her ego was so strong that the greater demons of slaanesh that tried to possess her literally died
Before the person is whispering about resisting and not being wicked
yeah but is there any explanation to it being in lower-tier worlds and/or missions? since daemonhost are most seen in warfronts around the galaxy?
Warfronts? No
I love those xD favorite is a psyker one. They say "So i've been thinking" and they get interrupted my ogryn saying "Yes psyker its good to think"
That’s not true
daemonhosts can literally be made anywhere
Dreg use the power of the demon to spread the corruption
Daemons can appear ANYWHERE
Some inquisitors even have them
That’s the point of them
those are radicals of course but
You can literally just live somewhere in the middle of a farm and if you wanted to you can summon a demon because why not
Who is going to stop you the imperium?
You already killed yourself the moment you wanted to try the summoning
I noticed even after they're awoken and attack us, they still say some of the lines. Like "You can't make me" Or "Get out of my head" .. Is it the person still kind of conscious? Or is it just the daemon saying the words the body used to say?
considering that the person that they use are often still awake during the possession
yeah it's probably still the owner of the body trying her best to stop the demon
They are sharing a human' body with a daemon, and having tanked daemonhosts the moment they become hostile they get giddy and constantly laugh
so its either just lucid thoughts shared by their host or just using it as bait
But there are cases in lore that people who got possessed by demons are strong enough to somewhat still control themselves while using the demonic power right
I will suppose that the daemon is from nurgle's facction?
yes
yep probably a lesser demon like a plague bearer
because a greater daemonhost would absolutely **** us up
Does the demon itself look like that? Or is the daemonhost in the game just a human body with demonic features? Like the horns and the green stuff?
no because nurgle demons look something like this
they look like me every time i wake up basically
lmao
So the demon itself looks like those in the pic, and just the soul takes over basically?
ooh
But same thing
All demons are made-up of energy, so all the hanging guts that you see from a great unclean one, the body features of a keeper of secrets all of it are just their own design choices
Basically they just inhabit the body as what they are
concious energy
What is a "Keeper of secrets" ?
Souls are a weird topic in 40k
Greater Demon of Slaanesh
Like they are super important but also like shouldn’t be?
Because the warp is consciousness based?
Souls are pretty important
Is Slaanesh the big one and those around it are the greater demons?
no Slaanesh is a god
the big one is the greater demon
Why can’t necrons manipulate it? Because they don’t have “souls” even though they can still think?
Wow i dont wanna meet that
no the big one is the keeper of secrets those tiny ones are daemonettes
prob one of the best GW models ever made ngl
idfk ask google
it looks weirdly out of place yet beautiful
Like you know something is wrong looking at it but you just can't take your eyes off of it
Ok so just the general definition
Literally just your non-physical being
its like how you enter an astral state in fiction and become a ghost-like figure lol
Then why don’t Necrons have it but are still sentient?
because it was taken from them
They willingly sacrificed it
And only left their consciousness intact
But how can you lose your soul, but still think and have a consciousness, which is what the warp is about, but you somehow can’t connect to the warp anymore?
And because the noble necrons' consciousnesses were transported to their metal bodies during their transformation.
HOWEVER the biggest population of lower caste necrons lost their souls
its why most necrons are mindless robots serving the nobles
its just space magic
dont think so hard about it
Wait so some of them still have their souls?
Ok
only the elite ruling class
Nevermind that makes sense
because they got privelage
i know you want to make sense but this is warhammer, I can literally pick up a gun and shoot gravity out of that shit
The ones who have no consciousness have no souls
if you were a lowborn necron though you got forcefully dragged to the bio-furnaces
I assume everything we fight in the game currently is from Nurgles faction?
necrodermis is a fascinating material though
If you lose your soul you lose your “self”
yes
How strong is it?
its "living metal"
it literally regenerates even on an atomic level
pretty tough
People is saying that we'll have genestealers added to the game soon enough
i mean yes they fit dark tide pretty well but kind of boring
I want other enemies
thats just dumb rumors and misinformation
dont trust everything you see from 40k content creators
lorewise they would fit greatly since we're in hivecities
Decent enough chance though
It’s just how FS does things
okay so program an entire enemy faction then
and make them unique from the base game enemies
that is a ton of work
FS did so for VT?

VT is more basic
Winds of magic???
Darktide has a much more complex enemy pool
Do you have any idea how many of the base enemies we have right now overlaps with the gene stealers
Yeah
pretty much this ye
It’s not THAT much effort lol
How do you make a aberrant that different from an ogryn
they basically serve the same purpose
then what would be your guess to next facction?
We literally got no idea lol
IF genestealers were to be added, what level would they be at? like elite or a monstrosity?
Genestealers
All you would get
XD
If we are getting a new one
the game is pretty chaos focused atm
That’s what you would get
yeah i want khorne
So was VT
just bull rushing us with melee weapons
Hell it was Skaven focused
What did I come back to
yall really got no idea how hard it is to program and design an entire enemy faction with so many variants from the groundup without making them reskins
That doesn’t mean they won’t put in effort
Although
FS has a track record
talked about demons then we decided to jump off the cliff what dark tide enemy faction should be next
they kinda need to fix the game a bit more for anything like this first and foremost
I love tyranids but warband's wouldn't tank it lol
Beasts of nurgle aren’t really tankable either to be fair
genestealers we can manage
lessers tyranids >> lesser nurgle's plague bearers
the actual tyranids not a chance
GSC can work, a full Tyranid swarm can't unless you do some stupid nerfs like making it a single splinter hive ship desperately trying to rebuild
Just use a door lol
Wut
Infinite conveyer belt
Me when the 10 billion tyranids can’t all get by a single door

just be sure to spam it when they try to open it
It's obligated to stay outside unless invited in 4head
it's a warhammer 40K deathwing reference
It is what I'm saying, even if it is Behemot HiveShip (arguibly the weakest after ultramarines taking its advance down) would be stronger than any enemy on actual game
That game you can just close the door and even a literal patriarch can't open it
i'm talking this guy is the size of a ******* hive tyrant
It’s a fucking spaceship
I know I saw em
I mean, the tyranids of behemot hiveship, not the spaceship itself
It’s actually a Darktide reference too 
Enemies can’t open some doors
you can kill things by closing the door on them
They could just add another daemon facction just with the fight between them
lesser orks would fit greatly to the power level of game won't lie
brother even feral orks would be a challenge
we had this discussion, orks would require levels tailored specifically for them to work
You have to seriously nerf them I mean for them to even fit this game
boys are big
Yeah the smallest ones are 6 foot
nobs are 7-8
Basically the size of a space marine
and a warboss is 10 fucking feet on AVERAGE
it's already a bit awkward with the crusher trains 
Even feral ork meks are smart enough to create steam motherfuckin gargants
So you have to do some serious nerfing to get them to fit on dark tide
I saw some guy asking for an update every month with new maps and weapons 
I feel like I rain on peoples parade when they want new factions, but it's an immense amount of work
Yeah finding a way to make the gene stealer cults different than the base faction with how many ******** overlaps is going to be something
In a massive DLC that wasn't too well received from memory 
For Darktide
You'd have to model an entire new faction
Winds of Magic got demolished when it came out
Balance said entire new faction
Animate said entire new faction
Voice said entire new faction
Make sure they work properly for maps
Play test said.... you get the idea
yup
should stick with the scabs and 6th but just add some new enemies
I can see them adding new things down the line, just not anywhere in near future
And not before we wrap up more stuff with the scabs and dregs
And definitely not a year after launch 
I reckon we'll get Nurglings as the first new special
they could mostly be recycled from vt2, it'd be relatively easy
God I'd hate that
Why do people hate themselves like this
I hate myself and I still don't want nurglings
Nurglings exist in V2 (in form of level decorations for event)
i find dregs and scabs as amazing enemies sure fighting them over and over again can be a bit stale but the personality on their voice lines the way they move on animations it's ******* perfect
I lowkey expected them to be ported over for same purpose
Imagine having to do that again and having the same quality for another faction
Dreg gunner emulating his gun recoil with his voice lines is top notch
Dregs and scabs are quite the faction standard to reach
No I meant the VA
Ah
VA really did put their all in their stuff, it's great
yeah yeah even my least favorite voices in the game I still admit are ******* amazing
The dreg gunner VA is fucking peak
yeah the VA team killed it
I DO NOT FEAR DEAAAAAAAAAAATH
flamer tho
EAAT IIIIIIIT
WANT EM CRISPY?
get stoned with a ******* rock
flamers mobile bbq
Tfw according to stats there were 4,2 million rocks thrown
Ogryns doing us proud
the Brawler dialogue saying
" greenfire is not good for cooking nosh"
When fighting the tox flamer is ******* good
FIRE, DEATH, RENEWAL
I like that dregs and scabs have very different personalities
Dregs, being the cult, are more spiritual in their lines while scabs are tactical
Mable sure fell on hard times huh
ILL SELL YOU DOWN THEUAGH
I wonder if we can find out who did the flamer voice
How? 
it's funny, trapper is like a less cruel hook rat
Have you heard her VA?
my fave voice ever has to go to Bully Ogryn though
yeah and i don't see the resemblance
they don't sound that similar
Yeah that's probably it even though I don't know what the **** you're talking about
