Grimm are the weird monster things in RWBY

Yeah I saw that

Power scaling is for dorkies

BoN ate of course weaker inside darktide because otherwise the balance of the game would not work

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)

Unrelated though but I loved the ending of book 1 where Gaunt randomly uses it but has no idea what it means KEKW_ogryn

Therfore different swears develop

Some common ones like

What sounds more intense?

SUPER LARGE

or

FUCKING LARGE

arctic talon
#

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

It’s a clusterfuck of a language lore wise

#

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

versed ledge
#

In the far future of the 41st millennium, the panzer Faust and ma deuce is still in active service

safe vigil
#

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

green loom
#

If they pop the field they can still translate back into realspace

#

Admittedly though I'm not sure how going back and forth works smilecat

safe vigil
#

It's a decent intro adventure but there's just a few little things that don't make sense.

  1. 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.
  2. Being in stasis whilst in the warp would still like... torture the soul because of the whispering of daemons.
  3. 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.
celest dome
#
  1. 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
  2. If they aren't covered by a good Gellar field
  3. But with Warp storm they might have decided on doing it when it's safer

You'd still require either a living navigator or a powerful psyker too exxit the Warp right?

Hey new to 40k, how do the scab and dreg differ from each other? Are they all just faction that serve Nurgle?

And replaced the sky with inverted skyscrapers
And then copy pasted all of that until you reached the lower atmosphere

arctic fiber
#

So the Moebian 6th Regiment are people who chose and weren't turned forcefully?

versed ledge
#

Add Beijing level of air quality, but worse, and you'll have a hive city

green loom
#

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

versed ledge
#

The moebian six became smooth brain giga chads

arctic fiber
#

Are there any books around the moebian 6th?

green loom
#

Nop, they were made for the game

arctic fiber
#

Ahh

#

Is the planet we're on also "new"

green loom
#

Yep

arctic fiber
#

Aren't any other chaos gods influencing the planet we're on too?

green loom
#

Not that we know of

#

At the very least, the Nurgle cult so far is by far the largest and most active

arctic fiber
#

Where would you look up all the lore about the world/planet of Darktide

green loom
#

There's articles on their website with a lot of stuff

arctic fiber
#

I think starting with only this game should be enough for the moment

green loom
#

There's dis

versed ledge
#

Gotta ask, are you new to 40k?

arctic fiber
#

Yes

#

I know a bit how chaos works in fantasy from the TotalWar games, but now I want to dive into 40k

versed ledge
#

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"

versed ledge
#

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

versed ledge
#

YES! More specifically, like Kowloon

arctic fiber
#

Yes

#

Correct

#

I was there 3weeks ago it's really impressive

versed ledge
#

Real shame it was torn down, that place was a marvel of human informal engineering

@arctic fiber very important question you must answe

#

Who is the greatest papa in Warhammer

arctic fiber
#

I guess you mean 40k?

jade holly
#

Yea

arctic fiber
#

The God-Emperor

jade holly
#

WRONG

#

It’s this boyo right here

arctic fiber
#

Fuck already failed

#

I more a Blood for the Blood God kinda guy

celest dome
#

Emp isn't even the best father in his family

jade holly
#

Honestly I’d have to say Vulkan was the greatest father

#

considering how loyal and loving his sons are

green loom
#

Ok so ngl I wasn't aware Fatshark made lore for Atoma dating back to the Heresy KEKW_ogryn

jade holly
#

Is it good?

green loom
#

Yes

#

It's Dabnett stuff

#

Of course it's nice

#

Well
Worldbuilding wise anyway

celest dome
#

What happened during the Heresy for Atoma ? Should we ping the dude who claimed that FS besmirched Abnett ?

green loom
#

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?

celest dome
#

Didn't one of the Dev say it was cause it is the 3rd most important of the planet

storm jungle
#

yeah Tertium is literally latin for "third of something"

#

or just "a third"

celest dome
#

Like Tertium does have some visible secondary Hives, but not sure which spires would count for the main hives or not

urban spire
#

the planet is called atoma isn't it

celest dome
#

ye

near wasp
#

Atoma prime which implies there are secondary worlds in the system

urban spire
#

that's less significant

#

could just be the only habitable planet

versed ledge
urban spire
#

wish people would stop calling that a hive city

arctic talon
#

It’s even less practical then a hive city

brisk vine
#

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

versed ledge
#

Fair, but wish we could build real life hive cities, or make more kowloons

#

Let's make 40k a reality, who's with me!

arctic talon
#

No

crisp heath
#

Anyone happen to know if GW ever released any Decals for the Ranks of Guardsmen in a squad?

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

Or markings for a sgt.

crisp heath
#

Yes

arctic talon
#

I think there might be one

crisp heath
#

I need a Sergeant decal

arctic talon
#

One moment

crisp heath
#

Thank you.

#

Preferably Kasrkin Sergeant if Special Forces different from the regular Guard Infantry

arctic talon
#

I found one for elysians

#

Let me do some more digging

storm jungle
#

I DONT think Kasrkin have any markings?

#

gotta look at their kill-team box

crisp heath
#

Specifically Cadian

#

Old school not new edition

#

Since my Kasrkin OC that I'm drawing is well 110th Cadian

storm jungle
#

You got these in the boxes as decals

crisp heath
#

Been trying to find decals but there's nothing so far except home brew.

storm jungle
#

the transfer sheet ones are your best bet

arctic talon
#

I found the sgt. Insignia

crisp heath
#

Yeah so GW has never bothered to make Rank decals great...

arctic talon
#

It’s 3 bars

crisp heath
#

Very nice thank you.

arctic talon
#

It’s on the cadian sgt. For the cadian squad

#

And no one else

#

In the squad

crisp heath
#

awesome.

storm jungle
#

Yeah this ^

barren ether
#

Ya know we are talking squad markings and not talking about the fact we aren’t even guardsmen, but members of an inquisitorial retinue

arctic talon
#

This is for something else it would seem tbf

#

But yeah we aren’t guardsmen

barren ether
#

Anyways captain buzzkill is here to ruin the fun

arctic talon
#

There’s ex guardsmen

crisp heath
#

Just sad that GW never bothered to make Rank decals for most guardsman ranks

#

Kinda immersion breaking.

barren ether
#

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

crisp heath
#

Anyways thanks, I got what I needed :p

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

Time to make a Loyalist 110th Cadian Kasrkin

arctic talon
#

I think

#

Let me double check

barren ether
#

Everybody wanna be Cadian. Nobody wants to be a Vitrian Dragoon

arctic talon
#

Okay nvm I found it

#

It’s on their leg

barren ether
#

Scale armor fellas, scale armor

arctic talon
#

@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

storm jungle
#

Its more stylistic purposes yeah

#

Kasrkin barely got any detailed lore aside from how they get recruited/trained

arctic talon
#

Medics got a fancy emblem on their shoulder tho

storm jungle
#

Kill-Team kasrkins also fucked it up kinda

#

since now they dont have the boxy leg armor

crisp heath
#

I refuse to buy the new models

#

for kasrkin and Cadian guard

storm jungle
#

they are SO close to being good

crisp heath
#

I'll stick with my old ones.

storm jungle
#

i just hate the box-armor removal

crisp heath
#

They are ugly as all hell

#

and don't look Cadian

arctic talon
#

Which is fine

#

But it’s a bit weird

crisp heath
#

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.

arctic talon
#

I don’t mind the new Cadians

#

But that’s my opinion overall

#

Very neutral on them

crisp heath
#

I don't like em..

storm jungle
#

Kill him Dark

#

Do it.

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

Elitewolf is obviously a Vendolander

arctic talon
#

I think the new helmets are fine on the normal guys

crisp heath
#

5'7 at best

#

smh

arctic talon
#

But some of the officers/specialists

#

Are like

#

Weird as fuck

crisp heath
#

The new helmets

#

would fit heavy troops

#

with heavy weapons

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

and keep the old helmets for regular line infantry?

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

I’m 5’5 lol

crisp heath
#

I'm like 156cm so 5'2?

#

I couldn't even pass myself as a Cadian kek

arctic talon
#

Lol

crisp heath
#

I'd need a second person in a coat or stilts

arctic talon
#

Cadians are really tall

#

And muscular

crisp heath
#

The boxy shapes of cadians really sells the "futuristic but extremely inefficient" aesthetic imo

arctic talon
#

Anyways lol

versed ledge
#

Maybe you could pass as a rattling sniper

crisp heath
#

I like awkward, square guard stuff

storm jungle
#

holy shit hes literally me!!!!

versed ledge
#

Ooof

#

Wonder how many times a space marine has been saying that phrase

arctic talon
#

Too many

crisp heath
warm notch
#

What phrase?

arctic talon
warm notch
#

Oh ok

#

<- has no idea the significance of the phrase

arctic talon
#

It’s

#

A battle cry mostly

#

Or a declaration of purpose

#

Alpha legionaries like to say it

#

Some absolutely hate it

#

It depends

warm notch
#

Is it like Cadians making Cadia their entire personality?

arctic talon
#

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

crisp heath
#

then you just kill em all

arctic talon
#

Yep

warm notch
crisp heath
#

FOR CREED

versed ledge
#

For Chaos!

#

YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR

jade holly
#

You’re right

#

But I would download one

jade holly
storm jungle
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

#

we got the Great Rift for years now and nothing exciting has come out of it.

crisp heath
#

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.

jade holly
crisp heath
#

Me included.

#

LOTR ended when Aragorn was Crowned king and thats the end of it shrug

#

Anyways 40k chat not LOTR chat :p

#

However with current 40k lore it kinda feels like a dick measuring contest between Imperium and Chaos.

broken zealot
crisp heath
#

And I see no real option where the Imperium could win in the current state of the galaxy/lore.

broken zealot
storm jungle
#

Its entirely true lol

#

Stuff like Rings of Power was just prequel stuff

#

theres no "new" LOTR content in ages

crisp heath
crisp heath
broken zealot
#

LOTR is one of the most bastardized modern fantasy properties there is

#

There are like 6+ videogames alone

storm jungle
#

to the point that warhammer itself stole from it

crisp heath
# storm jungle theres no "new" LOTR content in ages

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.

broken zealot
#

Stealing from better authors is fine and also good

#

As long as it's not directly taking money off their table

crisp heath
#

After that Aragorns Sons ruled for thousands of years. in almost Eternal peace shrug

#

They even rebuilt the Kingdom of Arnor.

#

nids attacking terra seems like a way to make them look like bitches

Yknow what they say.

Death before dishonour.

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?

I refuse to believe my Psyker is anything but a Delta/Gamma tier

#

Only limited by gameplay

spare osprey
#

No named chaos marines

thick cedar
#

Delta is pretty high on the list

#

High-mid tier

#

Point being

#

our Psykers are clearly more powerful than the average

barren ether
#

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]

thick cedar
#

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

barren ether
#

Read the page on Lexicanum please and then come back to me, not some meme

thick cedar
#

What meme?

#

There was no meme

barren ether
#

Go read the Lexicanum page I linked as I was once in your shoes too until someone proved me wrong

thick cedar
#

Nah

#

Until Fatshark or GW specifies

#

Our Psykers are high tier

barren ether
#

Bless your heart

thick cedar
#

I dont have a fetish for being shitty

barren ether
#

Have a blessed day ❤️

barren ether
#

If you can’t read then my sweet summer child

#

Lexicanum IS LITERALLY THE MOST ACCURATE 40k WIKI OUT THERE

thick cedar
barren ether
#

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

thick cedar
#

So I just see it as some weird fetish

barren ether
#

Your character literally IS dogshit. That’s like the entire point to the name Rejects

spare osprey
#

But

#

Our characters aren’t special

thick cedar
spare osprey
#

That’s the whole point

thick cedar
#

Its implied rejects die by the dozen

#

we dont

#

were clearly above average

spare osprey
#

Well yeah cause then you wouldn’t have a game

thick cedar
hasty coral
#

Named characters rule

#

It’s a legit thing in 40k at this point

#

If your named

barren ether
#

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

thick cedar
#

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

hasty coral
#

You get special armor

storm jungle
#

Alright yall ease with the bullying

spare osprey
# thick cedar Moot point

Not when it’s almost literally impossible to survive direct contact with most of the enemies in game.

hasty coral
#

A lot of the lore

spare osprey
#

Gameplay before lore Y’know

hasty coral
#

Is rule of cool

thick cedar
#

I dont buy it

storm jungle
hasty coral
#

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

thick cedar
spare osprey
hasty coral
#

That’s what I meant

#

Not ACTUAL armor

storm jungle
spare osprey
#

Ohhhhhh

storm jungle
#

hence you also getting a rosette etc

#

you are still Goons but not murder-hobos to say the least

spare osprey
#

I’m just talking about like

hasty coral
#

Again killing a beast of nurgle alone is lord breaking

spare osprey
#

Character armor

hasty coral
#

But ours guys are more resistant to chaos

#

I guess

#

Which I mean

spare osprey
#

So the stuff that belongs to like the kriegers and other lads

hasty coral
#

COULD be a thing

storm jungle
#

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.

spare osprey
#

The single bits I get 100%

thick cedar
storm jungle
#

theres literally a level 30 dialogue that says you all take the hereticus oath

hasty coral
#

It’s more part of the war band

storm jungle
#

so yeah

hasty coral
#

But yeah

thick cedar
#

Even dialogue about how were part of the warband

hasty coral
#

Inquisitional position

storm jungle
#

yeah you become Official Goons basically

#

not trash hobos

hasty coral
#

That gets you a lot of clout

storm jungle
#

Yep.

#

you arent a big shot but you arent a nobody either

warped briar
#

So mid

barren ether
#

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.

thick cedar
barren ether
#

But because people wanna feel special they will essentially do the very same mental gymnastics around why they still have to do grunt work

storm jungle
#

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

barren ether
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

barren ether
#

Ravenor over here like 🌝

storm jungle
#

Yeah because he has plot armor

#

but you know

barren ether
#

Eisenhorn over here like 🌝

storm jungle
#

also is cooked to shit and in a wheelchair

storm jungle
barren ether
#

And? What about his retinue? How did he treat them?

thick cedar
#

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

storm jungle
#

Pretty well???

#

Its when Cherubael starts corrupting him that he does what he does

storm jungle
#

you are giving comparison to two famous mary sue plot armor inquisitors

#

the author cant just kill them

barren ether
# storm jungle Pretty well???

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

storm jungle
barren ether
#

And you wanna use muh plot armor when in reality that’s a cop out for an apt example

storm jungle
#

...

#

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.

barren ether
#

Why is that even a defense lol

storm jungle
#

Wh-

#

honestly a gif comes to mind for this

This is me leaving because I gotta go make some coco so have fun i guess
