Take a shower
Grimm are the weird monster things in RWBY
Yeah I saw that
I think
Someone legit claimed Grimm are scarier than Daemons
Needless to say I said “post that in lore chat”
Are? Do I look like an entire legion of people to you?
Rwby
Lol
A computer show
oh lol
Monsters
Idk I've only seen character redesigns
Someone actually said "Now you've got me thinking about it.. Grimm are just scarier Daemons aren't they." in #darktide-memes I mean WTF Hell Team RWBY would not last a WEEK in Tertium.
Literally any greater Daemon
Wait is there actually something in RWBY called Grimm?
They could MAYBE kill a beast of nurgle
But wouldn’t be able to go onwards
Since you just can’t get into melee lol
RWBY team could maybe kill an Ork runt
Without killing yourself
Me when people start comparing universes and the 40k parade begins
Yang has enough AP to do some damage
<Eamwhile these 4 "Methed up idiots" could basiclaly solve the Grim problem single handedly.
Power scaling is for dorkies
BoN ate of course weaker inside darktide because otherwise the balance of the game would not work
Shit out of look
This tbh
We should shoot all who create VS debates
A .50 cal sniper and a pistol knife
Comparing power scaling between dif settings is stupid
NO warhammer game has been actually balanced with universe vs game balance
Mostly since

How far back you wanna go?
RIP Monty Oum
Mfw Doomslayer in 40k argument
Nah, ripping them appart
Because that’s one poor comic reader
Single flash git taking down a baneblade/knight, a squad of grey knights banishing greater daemons…the entirety of boltgun.
In FFG rpgs because a blood letter shanks me
Two regular orks killed a warlord iirc
Fair nuff but still
garfield would 100% fuck up skarbrand
Bit silly Innit
Fr fr
On BROTHER
That tracks because they CAN wield enough ap
It’s unlikely
Gaunt and co butcher 3 plague marines with only lasguns
And an outlier
Imean, it's Garfield, obv
Garfield bloodlusted (no lasagna) vs khorne
Ok THAT is bullshit
This
And take on a massive fortress of bastards with some 200 men
Poison barbs moment 
Granted didn’t they just use Uber future geurilla tactics
mail that mf to abu dhabi
no lasagna??!! he could be an exterminatus weapon.
Whoever wins is based on how the writer feels
As is the truth with all warhammer content

TTRPG moment
I’m saying
Gg Psyker
Barely tbh, at least on the first fight they were pretty much fighting conventionally
Yeah
I only posted that here becuase someone replied to that other person saying "Please post "Grimm are scarier Daemons" in the lore channel, it will be fun to watch" so I decided to to it instead.
Tbh this is 2 degrees of absurd failure lol
except avatar of khaine, they never win
Look mom I’m on tv!
First we rolled for warp phenomena
Gotcha. Been a minute since I’ve heard about it
It'd be fun to watch them be funny
Unfortunately
meme chat is many things, and funny isn't one of them
Buddy’s seen things
I mean LBH Bolter shots from a full astartes team will have difficulty dropping a Plague Ogryn alone in a reasonable time, and those are explosive .75 cal rounds on automatic fire, bolters are incredibly strong but a plague ogryn is a nurgle blessed, chemically imbued, Ogryn
Yang would have the best chance but would not be able to tank more than a couple hits from a creature boosted beyond the ability of a normal Ogryn (who can drag chimeras)
the 40k rpgs thankfully walked back the absurd risk of using literally any power in dark heresy
I might have been wrong there
It’s dark in dere’ 
But I have watched Rwby
Ok but get this
I can’t tank this
Imperium maladictum still has some big risks tbf
Here’s the series of events in full lul
i mean the ffg ones, i haven't touched anything since ffg
Okay but get this
Two different universes scale differently (ogryn mindblown emoji)
True

My groups gona try maladictum soon
But IF we were scaling accurately
In Fantasy, one of my friend's Warrior Priest of Ranald (Used Manaan's list for a subset of Ranald iirc) rolled on Divine Intervention, had chaotic intervention, had to roll on medium table of rolls, rolled major peril and then exploded, killing the rest of us
i'm running an only war game soonish
That’s how I would put it
You can't scale accurately
I solo rwby and warhammer :3
Now this guy could survive a lot longer.
Hilarious
Bolter strength is about as varied as my art skills
I use the books
would y'all stop reposting shit from darktide memes
Not at all
It says .75 explosive cal
Chaotic intervention? Could chaos interfere rather than your jod?
Plague Ogryns are extremely tough
Yeah and how effective that is changes based on how hard Abnett farted this week 
give me a jojo spinoff with god damn sly marbo right fuckin now
Tbh they also mention grenade dispensing from marine backpacks 
jod (jeans god)
Yes
Oath of the moment - reroll all conversations
I know what I typed
Funny funny
It’s pronounced Jod
I don’t think .50 cal rounds and hit based strength (Yang gains strength based on the damage she takes) is enough to easily at least, put down a plague Ogryn
That was the 2nd time we had a full party wipe, the 1st time was me causing a cave in by exploding part of Barak Varr
I don’t think that’s a CRAZY assumption
dear jod who art in jeaven
40k is a universe of drama, not logic or actual power
Lmao
Bullets are bullets
Jible
It wasn't a bad idea
Realzies
I use the least bullshit thing I can
It just went wrong I’m assuming lol
Which are bullets
40K is ackshually a shpace opera 
Yes ||No, i was just stupid||
Space Novela
The Slaanesh arc would be censored everywhere
Actually true
priests in fantasy are the same as other spellcasters, but they channel their talents different
Tela novela 
Yea we having walking murder churches ........makes it difficult to compare power levels with most other factions.
no he's a steam tank
Witch 
Yeah, they roll on a different page than normal casters
Yep I remember that lore
Choooo choooo
bless
In fairness, it would be a Sorcerer, not a Magister
A quiet drink my beloved
True
Guys lore question
Darktide Quiet Drink ? That would be a sight to see
If quizzes
oh i love the callback line to that in one of the newish maps
Are quizzical 
"it's a good thing you're not a steam tank saltzpyre or it'd be hard to get you up these hills"
Lots of “kark” 
I’d like to imagine all the skaven and norscans are actually the ubersriek 5’s drunken rampage through bar fights
"I'M SURE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT"
40K is peak because the swears are realistic 
the what
Karkin hell
Kark, frag. Fancy swears for fancy English
oh
he meant the swears
They’re just familiar enough
Space marine sweat, emperor sweat…et cetera
high quality nurgle sweat
Use realistic amount of swear words for soldiers: get called edgy
Or shit lol
Me when hardass roughnecks who fight monsters on the daily swear 
Seriously most games with adult characters would swear so much more than they do
the absolute worst thing is when "feth" shows up in places where it shouldn't
Haven’t seen any but I bet it’s funny
Feth is a tanith thing
It's less a realism thing
Isn’t it lol
Which one does feth stand in for again?
Fuck normally
Thought that was kark
More that filling your dialogue with random swears everywhere is considered "lazy"
Are they all fuck? 
Hey I just think it has value
Oh
Feth is also a dif thing

iirc
Met a psyker named mindkark
Since they say
Funi
Because that’s just how cursing has imbedded itself into our language
"Sacred Feth" a lot
feth is specific to the world of tannith, which got blown up
Fuck is a BANGER word
Holy flip
I will stand by that
Great intensifier
Feth is a Tanith thing
Again
Different planets
IMO if you go through the king of hell most IGs go through then I think you earned the right to say a fuck or a shit.
Low gothic is different
I see
Unrelated though but I loved the ending of book 1 where Gaunt randomly uses it but has no idea what it means 
What sounds more intense?
SUPER LARGE
or
FUCKING LARGE
By the throne
Or by the god emperor
Ect.
But that’s mostly religious swears like oh my god or goddamit
I always assumed low gothic was just every language now plus 2billion extra languages mashed into one
it's inconsistent
Low gothic varies from place to place
Well kinda
It’s a clusterfuck of a language lore wise
gosh kark it
They all speak english regardless since we need to understand them
^
I don’t think Emps gave the slightest shit about language
But the "common tongue" is apparently low gothic
I say “emperor preserve me” on the reg in missions 
High gothic lore wise is some cursed mashup between East Asian languages, Latin and some other crap
I assumed it was like how Star Wars uses words like hell
Which is hilarious
It basically would be an alien language to us.
But the issue is nobody in 40k the writers included wants to flesh it out or give it a try to see how it would work, so all you get is literally just basic british accented english.
This is actually weirdly normal among games
Like realistically “hell” wouldn’t have any meaning to them
But it’s their equivalent in galactic basic
Lol
Yeah the most you really see of the mentioned "battle tongues" and unique languages is isolated words
On brother
Eh
Place down under
It's a good thing Tanith 1 covers this exact thing somewhat 
Tldr I like the variety of fake swear words in 40K
SIGMAR BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY
Yeah. Pretty much
In comparison in darktide the writers chose to make Hell as Hel, with one L for some reason, even though a lot of the books use the normal "hell" as a word lol
hel is a shitty planet, they use that one
It makes the universe bigger heh
Might be a regional thing
P much
Probably to the emperor too
It’s a concept that transcends the word
A place of the worst things possible
Okay the fact that a ton of soldiers got corrupted by khorne on a planet called “molach-Baal” 
Lol
Wasn’t there a planet called MURDER?
Took me years to realize exodites are wood elves
That was named that because a bunch of marines died on it
Tbf
“This planet is murder”
Lul
Mega-arachnids of planet murder (not Tyranids trust me bro)
Lol
There’s a ton of ships called invincible
we march into the afterlife
In 40K as well
When is the “unsinkable” dropping
Anyone want to read the cool Cadian poem I found
immediately
Lol
todd howard is searching for you now
But lore wise low gothic is worthless to talk with someone from like another sector with
Erhm, ackshually!
Anyway here it is
Or low gothic is universal but planet tongues exist
In fairness i know a few places named after murder, though in other language
Low gothic is like how China labels all its languages externally as Chinese lol
Chogorian
When they sure as fuck don’t sound like each other
True enough
That seems to be the case
But again
Afaik
It isn't consistent
Nothing is 
there's a place in norway named rooster violence
Lol
Cock fight
not racist, but the chinese language is dumb, look up some literal translations
Me when languages don’t translate well

Also yeah what is it
you know, chinese
They mean mandarin
Simplified Chinese, Cantonese, Mandarin?
yeah ok mandarin
If Horus wasnt a loser, would the Emperors Imperium have rivaled the DAoT?
Simplified Chinese is a writing standard
Not a spoken one
Buddy it doesn’t need to look smart
Mandarin is a fruit, not a language 
We speak a Romance language
OH my god
Are they called Romance languages because “Roman” 
I’m going to make you write every Chinese character in a newspaper

No they sound romantic, according to this girl I knew from Los Angeles
Lol
She has not heard a Chinese restraunt during a rush

Chinese character from whihc show 
I love random racial slurs because someone ordered something
In response to "Romance languages"
Oh
Weird
As well lol
People just like listening to things they don’t understand
Real
I get to be funny and speak a weird language
Italian and Spanish sound great
then there's german
The development of modern languages is cool
I find it interesting most European languages are Roman influenced and use their alphabet (besides, of course, russian and adjacent languages.) and then most Asian languages use characters (tho I believe Mongolian is closer to russian iirc)
I have fun with my le funny Hungarian speech
dutch is the language that looks the most like swedish chef written down
Dutch is silly german
butterfly
mariposa
papillon
!!!!Schmetterling!!!!
Some slavs use the more common alphabet
you telling me fr*nch isn't the worst
True
Glove
Gaunte
gant
!!!!HANDSCHUH!!!
Yes
To be fair
Glove, gaunte, gauntlet 
Fair nuff
gaunte's geists
English be like pineapple
"hand shoe" litteral from english
Neither an apple or from anything pine related 
counterpoint: french be like pomme de terre
Don't most countries use variations of "ananas"

Yes
Which is why I’m making fun of pineapple
A good 10-20 languages in Chinese direct translations are “__ country”
Pineapple is Ananas for us 
Yes
But we also use patate (Not French though)
It’s actually __ word
🤓
I guess why English doesn’t is because of banana? Idk
that was from german, but yeah the chinese country names are nutty
No I mean I like
Oh my god what did I type
Sorry I’m tired
I meant
Lol
A lot of Chinese names for countries when directly translated are “_ country”
中國 at least China is easy to write in China
Wasn’t it called a pineapple because it looks like a pinecone which used to be called pineapples?
In Hungarian everything is like
"ethnicity-land/country"
Maybe?
oh yeah but what comes before each is also insane
lemme find some examples
Mongolia best country 🫡
Because they thought they were at the middle of the world lul
Lol
Sweden - Svédország
France - Franciaország
Germany -Németország
Etc.
Didn’t we all?
Pomme de pin
Israel is bagel country/j (I am Jewish don’t execute me :3)
Anyways
Back to Warhammer
Chogoris best planet 🫡
belgium translates litteraly from manderin as "Time to compare profits"
"haha funny language chat time with funny people in my computer, wait where am i?"
On the roots of languages
Debate
Switzerland is "Lucky Gentleman"
Looks as silly as the admech horses I approve
Yeah why not 
don't trust a horse
Give it a flamethrower mouth
and the winged sororitas arrive
Or a melta mouth
Pretty normal
animal with only enough intelligence to sneak up on a leaf
Needs more random holy trinkets
OH GOD I FOUND THE BEST ONE!
spain literal translation from manderin is....
Western class teeth
124
what
is this some kind of dogwhistle
No
I wish someone did a Renegade Miltia miniature from Space Marine
Those exist sorta
Berserk 
They’re based on the vraks militia
Is it about MLP
Realzies
Yes , but like
don't like that horse either
THAT HORSE.
Anyways :3
Cool
Anything I can relate with is this
And they don`t produce them?
Tbh I just wanna use Ash waste nomads to make nurgle cultists
Forgeworld axed renegades and militia
Elysians sold well but not well enough
And the molds wore out
Elysians my love
or box of 8 with range
Yeah

Nah , I like old ones more
Waiting patiently for plastic Elysians/Steel Legion
Realzies
They’re cool
Maybe they'll get some Made to order release
I know of at least 3 people
Chomping at the bit for elysians
Who own old elysians lol
3d printer, nuff said
Maybe more
1000% ratlings
RPG with bipod
With that older rumor mill with the food crate and sandbags.
Now with a big ass sniper rifle?
Ratlings
Where do you see a rifle?
Eh. Same vague shape 
It’s an RPG with bipod
Some sort of Carl Gustav but in 40K
Just waiting for the ork kit to be revealed
So I need a bit of advice for a ttrpg
So the party are all Heretics aboard a Inquisitorial Prison Barge that's lost in the warp because the Inquisitors Daemonhost killed the Navigator
In the far future of the 41st millennium, the panzer Faust and ma deuce is still in active service
Waddya need
Kinda two bits of advice
Should the ship still be in the warp? The Interrogator aboard the ship plans to set off a distress beacon... but I don't know how that workds in the Warp or how he would get them into real space.
and
What happens too a Daemon if his Host is destroyed and he's banished back too the warp if he's inside a Gellerfield
The Daemonhost has the goal of dropping the Gellerfield and disappearing back into the warp... but don't most Daemons want a prescence in Realspace? being a completly unbound Daemonhost seems like a pretty good deal for a Daemon
If they pop the field they can still translate back into realspace
Admittedly though I'm not sure how going back and forth works 
It's a decent intro adventure but there's just a few little things that don't make sense.
- How does the Interrogator plan to get out of the warp. They all entered stasis to wait for all the prisoners to die. If they were already in Realspace why didn't they already set off the beacon to call for help.
- Being in stasis whilst in the warp would still like... torture the soul because of the whispering of daemons.
- If their in realspace already, they should have set off the beacon straight away since who knows how long it will take. They should have done it before they got into their stasis chamber.
- You could have it that there is a Warp Storm, which do make Warp jump more dangerous, that would force him to wait it out
- If they aren't covered by a good Gellar field
- But with Warp storm they might have decided on doing it when it's safer
Where it looks like ratlings to me but the fingers ar tthe bottom look to slim, to me it looks like house Delaque
sorry for my spelling stroke
You'd still require either a living navigator or a powerful psyker too exxit the Warp right?
I don't think you need them to enter/exit
That's the warp drive's job
You need them to not be running blind
Some psykers can temporarily navigate the warp but not for too long
Right okay.
Hey new to 40k, how do the scab and dreg differ from each other? Are they all just faction that serve Nurgle?
The Dregs are the Admonitionist cult, a nurgle cult in the Hive City
The Scabs are the Moebian 6th, a guard regiment turned traitor, who've teamed up with said Dregs
Scab are new turned
So what happens if someone does a EVA stint in the warp? Just only using an enclosed EVA suit, will they be "fine" - physically that is, psychologically they can go drink themselves to the emperor
Opens new google tab to understand most terms
You'd throw something that exists into the realm where things don't exist
In short, not a good time
Hive city is the big thing we're fighting in, they're monolithic cities where billions-trillions of people slave away
Darktide takes place on the planet called Atoma, in it's largest hive, called Tertium
I think in the second Night Lords book, a space marine is caught on the ships exterior when they enter the warp
and he's instantly possessed by a Daemon that uses him to break inside and go murder crazy
That's a hive city
A hive city is like if you took new york
And replaced the sky with inverted skyscrapers
And then copy pasted all of that until you reached the lower atmosphere
So the Moebian 6th Regiment are people who chose and weren't turned forcefully?
Add Beijing level of air quality, but worse, and you'll have a hive city
That's both mostly
The Moebians got fed up with the fighting
So they turned to a cult
Said cult was active in the lower hive until now
Which is a literal hellscape
So their choice was either die or join the cult
The moebian six became smooth brain giga chads
Are there any books around the moebian 6th?
Nop, they were made for the game
Yep
Aren't any other chaos gods influencing the planet we're on too?
Not that we know of
At the very least, the Nurgle cult so far is by far the largest and most active
Where would you look up all the lore about the world/planet of Darktide
There's articles on their website with a lot of stuff
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is an upcoming 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city of Tertium. Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience.
We’re excited to announce that Darktide is being written in cooperation with renowned Black Library author Dan Abnett. Abnett is well known in t...
I think starting with only this game should be enough for the moment
There's dis
Gotta ask, are you new to 40k?
Yes
I know a bit how chaos works in fantasy from the TotalWar games, but now I want to dive into 40k
OI LADS WE GOT A 40K NEWCOMER!!! Welcome aboard to a fandom that will make one appreciate the phrase "sure it's bad, but at least it's not THAT bad"
I do like that about warhammer 😄
When you're doing a round in the manufactoria, take not of the environmental plot building there. Just by looking at those places alone, one can picture how people live in a hive world
Just like Hongkong 😄
YES! More specifically, like Kowloon
Real shame it was torn down, that place was a marvel of human informal engineering

Also this should be the gist
You're talking about the old monster building?
Thx mate
The "current events" are like
The one and only walled city
30+ minutes in
I did start watching him and Weswarhammer
So feel free to skip into it
Isn't one of the Levant country trying to build a giant one ?
@arctic fiber very important question you must answe
Who is the greatest papa in Warhammer

I guess you mean 40k?
Yea
The God-Emperor
Emp isn't even the best father in his family
Honestly I’d have to say Vulkan was the greatest father
considering how loyal and loving his sons are
Ok so ngl I wasn't aware Fatshark made lore for Atoma dating back to the Heresy 
Is it good?
What happened during the Heresy for Atoma ? Should we ping the dude who claimed that FS besmirched Abnett ?
They were loyalists through and through, Atoma was devastated and the Moebian domain was periodically governed from Crucis
It's vague but it's there
Apparently Tertium is called such because it's actually a cluster of 3 hives?
Didn't one of the Dev say it was cause it is the 3rd most important of the planet
Like Tertium does have some visible secondary Hives, but not sure which spires would count for the main hives or not
the planet is called atoma isn't it
ye
Atoma prime which implies there are secondary worlds in the system
Neom, a hive city being built in the magical land of the UAE..
wish people would stop calling that a hive city
Neom is in Saudi Arabia
And it really isn't anything close to a hive
It's just the KSA being the KSA and wasting money on grand projects that won't turn into anything concrete
Fair, but wish we could build real life hive cities, or make more kowloons
Let's make 40k a reality, who's with me!
No
Anyone happen to know if GW ever released any Decals for the Ranks of Guardsmen in a squad?

As in within a squad markings?
Or markings for a sgt.
Yes
I think there might be one
I need a Sergeant decal
One moment
Thank you.
Preferably Kasrkin Sergeant if Special Forces different from the regular Guard Infantry
Specifically Cadian
Old school not new edition
Since my Kasrkin OC that I'm drawing is well 110th Cadian
You got these in the boxes as decals
Been trying to find decals but there's nothing so far except home brew.
the transfer sheet ones are your best bet
I found the sgt. Insignia
Yeah so GW has never bothered to make Rank decals great...
Very nice thank you.
awesome.
Yeah this ^
Ya know we are talking squad markings and not talking about the fact we aren’t even guardsmen, but members of an inquisitorial retinue
Anyways captain buzzkill is here to ruin the fun
There’s ex guardsmen
Just sad that GW never bothered to make Rank decals for most guardsman ranks
Kinda immersion breaking.
Well yeah that’s a point I was about to make. Yeah we got vets who were in the militarum but the other 75% of the cast potentially didn’t even serve
Anyways thanks, I got what I needed :p
Kasrkin do not seem to have rank markings for sgts.
Time to make a Loyalist 110th Cadian Kasrkin
Everybody wanna be Cadian. Nobody wants to be a Vitrian Dragoon
Scale armor fellas, scale armor
@crisp heath kasrkin rank marking goes on the left leg in a lot of art instead of the shoulders
Now you might be asking GW why
My answer is I have no fucking clue
Its more stylistic purposes yeah
Kasrkin barely got any detailed lore aside from how they get recruited/trained
Medics got a fancy emblem on their shoulder tho
Kill-Team kasrkins also fucked it up kinda
since now they dont have the boxy leg armor

they are SO close to being good
I'll stick with my old ones.
i just hate the box-armor removal
It’s covered up with the jacket
Which is fine
But it’s a bit weird
They look like somebody took the 80s US Marines in BDUs with PASGT helmets
and made them a bit Grimdark/space age
the regular guards that is.
I don't like em..

Elitewolf is obviously a Vendolander
I think the new helmets are fine on the normal guys
Bruh I’m Asian so shorter lol
and keep the old helmets for regular line infantry?
dw im even smoller
I’m 5’5 lol
Lol
I'd need a second person in a coat or stilts
The boxy shapes of cadians really sells the "futuristic but extremely inefficient" aesthetic imo
Anyways lol
Maybe you could pass as a rattling sniper
I like awkward, square guard stuff
holy shit hes literally me!!!!
Too many
I'd rather drop off a ledge
What phrase?
I am Alpharius
It’s
A battle cry mostly
Or a declaration of purpose
Alpha legionaries like to say it
Some absolutely hate it
It depends
Is it like Cadians making Cadia their entire personality?
Sorta
Lol
It also helps annoy imperial record keepers
Because if a bunch of alpha legion warbands all say their chaos lord is Alpharius
And they all dress about the same
Kind of a pain in the ass to keep track of who is who

FOR CREED
For Chaos!
Alpha Legion specializes in making Dwight Schrute suffer
IDENTITY THEFT ISN’T A JOKE ALPHA LEGION
MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SIFFER EVERY YEAR
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR

I mean the general events around 40 khave been the same as all these other franchises.
Its all focused around one faction, none of the universe is ever fleshed out, and all of it is focused on Space Marines 
we got the Great Rift for years now and nothing exciting has come out of it.
I now go
and make enemy dead as doornail.
LOTR has been stagnant since JRR passed.
And I refuse to aknowledge TROP Series Amazon made.
Stagnant? Mf that IP dropped off a cliff when Rings of Power came out

Thats why a huge part of the Old Vanguard doesnt accept ROP as anything LOTR related.
Me included.
LOTR ended when Aragorn was Crowned king and thats the end of it 
Anyways 40k chat not LOTR chat :p
However with current 40k lore it kinda feels like a dick measuring contest between Imperium and Chaos.
what's wrong with saying you are Al
And I see no real option where the Imperium could win in the current state of the galaxy/lore.
sadly not true
Its entirely true lol
Stuff like Rings of Power was just prequel stuff
theres no "new" LOTR content in ages
And bad at it 
As I said.
LOTR is one of the most bastardized modern fantasy properties there is
There are like 6+ videogames alone
Once Aragorn was crowned king there was no real story after except for the Appendecies and bits and pieces of Aragorn beating back the Easterlings to Far-Rhûn and the Haradrim out of Harondor and Umbar to re-claim the city.
Stealing from better authors is fine and also good
As long as it's not directly taking money off their table
After that Aragorns Sons ruled for thousands of years. in almost Eternal peace 
They even rebuilt the Kingdom of Arnor.
nids attacking terra seems like a way to make them look like bitches
4 man teams
Get sent into whats presented as thinly veiled suicide missions
Thrust into enemy strongholds full of enemies. Including, but not limited to, traitor Guardsman, Poxwalkers, mutants, Beasts of Nurgle, Chaos Spawn, and Daemonhosts
We kill them all and win more often than not
How the fuck does the Imperium lose?
Tbf the shadow games are pretty fucking good if you sorta hold them to the side of LOTR
……always has been
Yeah, it's too bad someone can't take that system for something else after they set the groundwork
Because one thing is a video game and another is the lore, and in the lore, more often than not, your average imperial combatant isn’t equipped with inquisitorial grade gear, survives long enough to merit the requisition of said equipment, and aren’t fuckers controlled in a video game by real human beings.
That and there are more of them than there are us
I refuse to believe my Psyker is anything but a Delta/Gamma tier
Only limited by gameplay
See the only reason we haven’t lost
No named chaos marines
Delta is pretty high on the list
High-mid tier
Point being
our Psykers are clearly more powerful than the average
Mediocre actually
The Imperium measures and records the psionic activity and power level of psychic individuals through a rating system called The Assignment. Comprised of a twenty-four point scale, The Assignment simplifies the comparison of psykers to aid Imperial authorities in recognizing possible threats.[1]
Delta // Gamma
Occurring in approximately one-per-billion human births, Delta and Gamma level psykers exhibit extreme levels of psionic ability. Unless discovered quickly, death or possession are common results of the untrained mind being unable to handle this level of mental energy.
How is that mediocre
Read the page on Lexicanum please and then come back to me, not some meme
Go read the Lexicanum page I linked as I was once in your shoes too until someone proved me wrong
Bless your heart
I dont have a fetish for being shitty
Have a blessed day ❤️
If you can’t read then my sweet summer child
Lexicanum IS LITERALLY THE MOST ACCURATE 40k WIKI OUT THERE
Its just that a lot of the time people hate the idea of our characters obviously being special even though we do extraordinary things the average person fails at. So people do mental Gymnastics to "actually, your character is secretly dogshit"
And if you can’t read a short page that clearly defines psyker scaling while on a 40k lore chat, then again: bless your heart
So I just see it as some weird fetish
Your character literally IS dogshit. That’s like the entire point to the name Rejects
Ehhhhh
2nd
Rejects that surprassed every expectation
That’s the whole point
Well yeah cause then you wouldn’t have a game
Moot point
we are disposable and our value is recognized by being given access to better equipment. We don’t just magically become Mary sues because muh head canon
When the games story is telling you that youre literally above average and taken aboard the inquisters warband, thats clearly a sign that youre above the normies that died before you
You get special armor
Hence, named characters
Alright yall ease with the bullying
Not when it’s almost literally impossible to survive direct contact with most of the enemies in game.
A lot of the lore
Gameplay before lore Y’know
Is rule of cool
Sounds like a convenient excuse
I dont buy it

There is so much stuff in 40k that can kill even a space marine by breathing on him
Because GW likes rule of cool lore
So it’s not a surprise a ton of it is thrown out with named characters
Basically
Which belongs to peeps not our own. Like they actively belong to other lads in the warband and all
Plot armor

That’s what I meant
Not ACTUAL armor
By level 30 you become an official member of the Ordo hereticus, not cannon-fodder, the dialogue reflects this.
Ohhhhhh
hence you also getting a rosette etc
you are still Goons but not murder-hobos to say the least
No ye
I’m just talking about like
Again killing a beast of nurgle alone is lord breaking
Character armor
So the stuff that belongs to like the kriegers and other lads
COULD be a thing
the Beast of Nurgle and the Daemonhost are the only semi lore-break'y stuff our characters can fight against.
Everything else is pretty fair game.
The single bits I get 100%
Its funny how many people deny this. I've had people argue with me about how were not actually part of the Inquisition despite everything saying otherwise
Lmao
theres literally a level 30 dialogue that says you all take the hereticus oath
It’s more part of the war band
so yeah
But yeah
Even dialogue about how were part of the warband
Inquisitional position
Which is actually a pretty massive deal tbf
That gets you a lot of clout
So mid
Having an aneurysm rn when your particular inquisitor still treats you like trash and every single vendor treats you like trash, but no because you’re now an adept and have slightly shiny toys, suddenly that makes you worth something.
Hadron doesnt count. She treats everyone like shit
But because people wanna feel special they will essentially do the very same mental gymnastics around why they still have to do grunt work
Bro Morrow treats everyone like shit 💀
he also tells you that he VOUCHED for you to Grendyl
and that to not fail him in the Ascension Riser mission
Don’t mean shit when we are still treated like pieces of meat considering inquisitorial adepts are generally given more specialized tasks and roles upon ascension into any retinue.
Unless we want to call the exact same missions we do when we were nothing specialized tasks and roles
Great now we have cool toys, so where else is that oh so great clout
Just that, that’s it: the cool toys
Breaking news, thats how everyone gets treated in the Inquisition
everyone is disposable to a high degree, including your bosses
its how the setting is
Ravenor over here like 🌝
Eisenhorn over here like 🌝
also is cooked to shit and in a wheelchair
went radical and the Inquisition is hunting him

And? What about his retinue? How did he treat them?
Gideon Ravenor was an Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos of some renown and one of the Inquisition's most powerful psykers.
and one of the Inquisition's most powerful psykers.
Thats a bit of an unfair comparisson
AND again this
you are giving comparison to two famous mary sue plot armor inquisitors
the author cant just kill them
everyone is disposable to some degree
Then cmon you say that like please you can’t possibly argue that somehow everyone treats everyone like a piece of meat

And you wanna use muh plot armor when in reality that’s a cop out for an apt example
...
Because it is plot armor.
What do you want me to say lol
Eisenhorn should just die in a street stabbed by some hobo because he wasnt careful? That doesn't make a fun book.
Why is that even a defense lol
