40k-lore-chat

[jade holly]

A Dorn who no longer enjoys architecture

[grave sparrow]

I mean post HH he was pretty fucked up

Iron Cage and all that

[arctic talon]

yeah

[outer cobalt]

i think Dorn coming back with one hand will be enough character development lol

Dorn with an Iron hand

[arctic talon]

I think one of the ways to make warp travel hilarious is funny

[jade holly]

Dorn coming back with Ferrus Manus’s Iron Ha- FUCK YOU BEAT ME TO IT

[arctic talon]

they have menials/soldiers/officers all draw straws

and whoever loses

gets sacrificed to the navigator via eye exposure lol

and the seizures get interpreted to chart a course better

[grave sparrow]

holy shit lol

[outer cobalt]

imagine being the seizure interpreter

[arctic talon]

Its the navigator lol

[grave sparrow]

Black Library authors be smoking some good shit when writing some of these books lol

[arctic talon]

after they get 99% of the way done killing

[outer cobalt]

ah yes, that spasm obviously means we need to go this way

[arctic talon]

they just interpret the spasms and seizures of the dying person lol

[plush mason]

like. in rogue trader you have a helmsman and i wonder wtf he does

[arctic talon]

This is one of GW's codex writers doing lol

[arctic talon]

realspace most likely

[jade holly]

Not the weirdest thing ever done

Hell not even irl

[arctic talon]

And if they're in the warp most likely for emergancy disengagment

if the captain/navigator both get incapacitated

[jade holly]

There was a group who dug up an old king’s corpse, put it on trial, found it guilty, then executed it

[outer cobalt]

humanity is weird lol

[plush mason]

he was very important for the translocation but i think it was just to ensure the existing and entering realspace didnt end with the ship slamming into a moon or something lol

[arctic talon]

LOL

[grave sparrow]

one of these days god's gonna be like "yep, lost your rights to sentience" and we all return to monkee

[arctic talon]

guess he double checks the navigators work lol

[jade holly]

You know you’re bored when you’re watching Communopoly

[plush mason]

it makes me think of one of the ships comming out of the warp and the helmsman having to just rip the wheel to one side to avoid something in real space lol

[arctic talon]

lol

Trying not to ram into some tiny civllian hauler ship

[grave sparrow]

"that FUCKING NAVIGATOR" - Some helmsman

[jade holly]

Why do we just ram a ship into the chaos gods smh

At least Nurgle

[grave sparrow]

excuse me, that FUGGIN* NAVIGATOR

[jade holly]

His lazy ass doesn’t go anywhere

Can chaos gods even die?

[plush mason]

can a hurricane?

[arctic talon]

no

not really

[grave sparrow]

Honestly, probably not unless Big E rises from the golden throne and goes anime mode

[plush mason]

they are very much a force of nature

[outer cobalt]

return to sender the blackstone fortress Abaddon threw at Cadia

[arctic talon]

Only way we know how to kill one

is via Ynead

maybe

And the Imperium ruined any chance of that ever happening

[indigo fjord]

Just stop being horny and slaneesh dies.

[arctic talon]

[indigo fjord]

Easy.

[arctic talon]

I'd like to thank the deathwatch

[outer cobalt]

an impossible task for the Eldar

[arctic talon]

for deciding that disrupting an Eldar ritual

would be better then killing a Chaos God

[grave sparrow]

I think you can't ever kill a choas god as much as use collective consciousness to alter them

[arctic talon]

in AoS we know Gods can die

but not Chaos Gods

whatever the difference is

[outer cobalt]

Big E did burn one of Nurgles Gardens which is quite a feat

[plush mason]

my guy the imperium hasnt known how to do that since before it even existed lol. it has quadrillions of quadrillions of civilians for a reason

[indigo fjord]

Mass deployment of chemicals

[arctic talon]

he burned a tiny portion of it which was a good showing

before nurgle promptly told him to fuck off

and dragged mortarion into his manor

[grave sparrow]

Like Slaanesh without excess would be just a god of pleasure, probably pretty chill.

Khorne without wanton blood and skulls would be an honorable warrior.

Nurgle would probably stay nurgle and Tzeentch would probably stay Tzeentch

[arctic talon]

Mortarion is prolly getting Caned still lol

[outer cobalt]

Mortarion is a cringe lord

[arctic talon]

mortarion getting the beating of his lifetime

from nurgle

[plush mason]

just beat with the spoon

[outer cobalt]

No daddy please save me

[jade holly]

Remove the pestilence and disease and Nurgle turns into the god of medicine and alchemy

[indigo fjord]

I've noticed that a lot of authors prefer to use Nurgle in their books

[arctic talon]

Belt with studs and all

Nurgle is simple

and easy to write about

same with Khorne

Tzeentch and Slaanesh you have to put some thought into

[grave sparrow]

I feel like that'd be enough of an antithesis of nurgle that'd be just powering Isha

[outer cobalt]

Slaanesh you have to horny post for and Tzeentch good luck understanding that guy

[indigo fjord]

Khorne is kinda boring though

[arctic talon]

Slaanesh isn't just horny

tbf

its too much of anything

[outer cobalt]

excess

yes

[plush mason]

nah Nurgle has a wooden spoon so he 100% uses that grandma style when he needs too

[arctic talon]

lol

[outer cobalt]

but it usually goes the way of the horny

[arctic talon]

Nurgle's ladel

doubles as a beating stick for mortarion

[plush mason]

yes

[jade holly]

Doesn’t help the Slaaneshi look like they’re wearing regal gimp suits

[plush mason]

or any other greater daemon that displease him

[grave sparrow]

Nurgle gives mortarions swirlies in his cauldron

[storm jungle]

Slaanesh has nothing to do with sex and never has

its literally 99% body torture

💀

[arctic talon]

Tbf

it'll start off as Sex

[indigo fjord]

then body horror

[outer cobalt]

Slaanesh has been an unfortunate victim of the memes

[jade holly]

Omg I just realized

[arctic talon]

and then you decide eating your neigbors kid while skinning yourself alive

sounds fun

[grave sparrow]

Wait, I can't say the word for mass sex piles on a 40k server?

[plush mason]

exess always starts off slow and simple. then just grows and grows

[jade holly]

Slaanesh was behind the Pain Olympics

And if you don’t know

Be thankful

[storm jungle]

the autobot is really stupid

just circumvent it

[grave sparrow]

Well, lotta funny ways to phrase big ol' sex piles I guess lol

[plush mason]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-prime-optimus-roll-out-gif-20344420

[indigo fjord]

Then there's Tzeentch, who's edgy.

[arctic talon]

Still funny how this is one of the only depictions of Slaanesh we have

[outer cobalt]

sex pile is descriptive enough

[jade holly]

The non relative reunion, the gang group hug, the passionate Palace, the Fleshy Sleeping bag

[grave sparrow]

it could be a relative reunion

SWEET HOME ALABAMA

[jade holly]

[plush mason]

wtf are those waystones?

[outer cobalt]

i wish we got Khornite daemons in Darktide but Nurgle works better for the setting

[arctic talon]

Giant constructs made by the Elven gods to prevent Slaanesh from breaking out of their prison

via magic

[jade holly]

Sounds like the nids are next

[grave sparrow]

you mean big ol' distracting sex toys?

[jade holly]

And what Better way to counter genestealers than those who replaced their flesh with metal

[outer cobalt]

genestealers incoming

[arctic talon]

they're borrowing some magic from hysh and ulgu

to keep slaanesh contained

[jade holly]

I really wanna see how they’ll do an Admech class

[arctic talon]

while they try to get them to puke up more elf souls lol

[arctic talon]

LOL

[storm jungle]

[jade holly]

If it isn’t nids then what are they teasing?

[storm jungle]

LITERALLY NOTHING

[safe vigil]

your mum

[jade holly]

[storm jungle]

THE VOXTAPE JUST SAYS SOMETHING SKITTERING IN THE DARK

ITS NOT TYRANIDS

[safe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spongebob-meme-dab-gif-24208634

[storm jungle]

[indigo fjord]

It's Skaven then.

[arctic talon]

inb4 its glitchlings

lol

[grave sparrow]

isn't all the nid talk just the fact that one of the leaders of the warband fought nids before

[outer cobalt]

BUT BUT THE VOX, XENOS ACTIVITY, LICTOR(??)

[storm jungle]

YES

[arctic talon]

They're coming

[jade holly]

What would you do if it did turn out to be GSC?

[grave sparrow]

FORSHADOWING, OBVIOUSLY NIDS ARE NEXT ENEMY FACTION

[storm jungle]

eat my shorts probably

[arctic talon]

Xenos activity could be some giant crocadile

thats eating people

[outer cobalt]

big gator miniboss when

[plush mason]

only acceptable if they roll around as balls during the horde

[jade holly]

Is it at least plausible to see more classes in the future?

[arctic talon]

When fatshark are based and add it to the sewer section

https://tenor.com/view/skarbrand-warhammer-total-war-kick-gif-24886820

[outer cobalt]

the thing skulking around in the shadows is actually a purple ork

[arctic talon]

Me to people saying Genestealers are coming soon

[storm jungle]

Yes. Its a lot more plausible to expect those + new weapons + new maps.

[jade holly]

Obv Admech is the most anticipated

What else could there be

Enforcers?

[plush mason]

best attack animation in CA history

[spare osprey]

bro if it's a Crotalid we're all fucked.

everyone

[plush mason]

just punt the fuckers

[arctic talon]

enforcers are just worse guardsmen

lore wise

regarding combat skill

[jade holly]

I mean Savant was an Enforcer

[arctic talon]

the Savant is a psyker

[spare osprey]

beat the shit outta everyone

[arctic talon]

the average enforcer is a worse soldier

[jade holly]

Mentioned he was an Enforcer for Lex Atoma

[arctic talon]

then the average guardsmen

is my point

[safe vigil]

An Arbitrator would be nice
maybe with a few unique handcannons

[arctic talon]

and none of our characters are an average guardsmen

[jade holly]

Dual wield?

[arctic talon]

they're veterans

[indigo fjord]

Isn't the average guardsmen like "point your gun that way"?

[plush mason]

the lex atoma is the laws of the city btw

[arctic talon]

not really

[plush mason]

lex is law in latin

[arctic talon]

guardsmen are on average decent at fighting

like irl soldiers

[safe vigil]

Dual Wielding I could see it with a Scum/Hive Ganger

[arctic talon]

quaity varies

[jade holly]

Then idk what the group of the enforcers Savant was a part of is called

[arctic talon]

but enfocers are literally cops

[outer cobalt]

theyre recruited from planetary defense forces majority of the time so no

[arctic talon]

They're cops

[grave sparrow]

pretty sure most gaurdsmen are trained really well. PDF are the "hey, you're militia now, here's a lasgun"

[arctic talon]

they commit police brutality

[jade holly]

I know that

[arctic talon]

as instructed by the god emperor

[safe vigil]

Enforcers are just cops, the cops of the Planetary governor and his office

[arctic talon]

[jade holly]

but don’t the enforcers have a specific name?

[arctic talon]

No

depends on the planet

but usually its just "enforcer"

[safe vigil]

Sometimes. Enforcer is the catch all term

[arctic talon]

or "descriptor" + enforcer

[plush mason]

like on necromunda the enforces are just called the "insert hive city name here" enforcers

[safe vigil]

Like Necromunda has the Palatine Enforcers

[arctic talon]

I.E the enforcers on Necromunda are called Palantine Enforcers

[jade holly]

Then what other classes could we see?

[arctic talon]

some form of tech adept

[safe vigil]

I think Scum could be reasonable

[outer cobalt]

i want arbites class with a cyber mastiff

[arctic talon]

is most likely

hive scum is also possible

[jade holly]

Admech is the most Obv

imo

[arctic talon]

Plenty of gangers to round up and press gang

[plush mason]

which is due to the fact the TT is played in the captial hive city of Palantine

[arctic talon]

[safe vigil]

Lmao the cyber mastiff homing missile from Necromunda Underhive wars or whatever it was

[arctic talon]

state sponsered mandatory police brutality

[plush mason]

so its just like the police irl

each city has its own police force

[safe vigil]

Yeah. The Enforcers work for the planetary goveroner

[jade holly]

Then what’s the SWAT of Warhammer?

[outer cobalt]

policing a hive city almost makes you wish for a virus bombing

[safe vigil]

Just... high grade enforcers

[plush mason]

the arbites i guess

[jade holly]

Damn

[indigo fjord]

Arbites is more like FBI right?

[jade holly]

not even a creative name

[plush mason]

ofc they are also more like imperial FBI

[jade holly]

SWAT is FBI

[safe vigil]

I hear that FBI thing alot but I don't know enough

[jade holly]

FBI Special Weapons and Tactics

[safe vigil]

I think SWAT is just the special weapons and tactics of a precint?

[plush mason]

they are

[safe vigil]

the FBI has their own

[jade holly]

SWAT is federal level tmk

[plush mason]

no

[outer cobalt]

the arbites are the galactic police force pretty much

[arctic talon]

Arbites are the feds

except

even more violent

and well armed

[plush mason]

FBI just uses local forces unless said forces cant handled it then they call in forces from near by

[outer cobalt]

and theyre dripped out

[safe vigil]

1. Enforcers are employed by the Planetary Governor
2. Arbritiators enforce the Imperial rules on the planet and govenor and otherwise stay out of the way

[outer cobalt]

arbites drip when?

[indigo fjord]

Arbites also make good daemonh- Nothing.

[arctic talon]

Arbites also are usually pretty fanatical

[jade holly]

Medieval Judge Dredd looking mf

[arctic talon]

to the imperium

[outer cobalt]

Yes.

[safe vigil]

Two people could have a fist fight outside the precint doors and the Arbrities will just what. But someone throws a rock that brushes the head of an Imperial Scribe and they'll roll out the tanks

[plush mason]

where do the arbites train anyway?

[safe vigil]

Schola

[arctic talon]

Schola Progenium

and then they have their own secondary training as well

[plush mason]

so just like the SOB and commissars

[arctic talon]

yeah

SoB, Comissars, Scions

Arbites

[safe vigil]

I reccomend the Shira Calpurnia books

goes indepth. Really interesting internal imperial politics

also shes cute

[arctic talon]

hell some scribes come from the schola lol

[outer cobalt]

Would.

[jade holly]

Hot take: that armor sucks

[plush mason]

is that a holy baton?

[jade holly]

Barely protects her

The chest plate needs to be at least half the length of the torso

[plush mason]

ok fatshark power batons when?

[safe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-who-cares-who-gives-a-fuck-chris-pratt-middle-finger-gif-8101659

When do we get Eisenhorn's lightsaber!

[jade holly]

I mean we have Paul

[plush mason]

let me go full cloaker on these fool heretics

[indigo fjord]

If we go by Dan Abnett then we should also easily be capable of defeating a chaos marine

[plush mason]

https://tenor.com/view/payday2-pd2-cloaker-you-call-this-resisting-arrest-we-call-this-a-difficulty-tweak-gif-5699362801933530758

[outer cobalt]

i could definitely see a plague marine miniboss in the future

if we can kill chaos spawns and beast of nurgle so easily then we're ready for the big leagues

[plush mason]

its 40k and we are the main protags of the story, we could kill mortarian himself if fatshark feels like it

[outer cobalt]

we have le plot armour

[plush mason]

yup

[indigo fjord]

Yup

[plush mason]

got that main character plot armor so ofc we win

[safe vigil]

Yeah our little convicts wouldn't make it past the first horde

[outer cobalt]

more plot armor than a named ultramarine

[plush mason]

yup

[jade holly]

Not enough plot armor to save my headset

[plush mason]

Cato over in the corner crying

[indigo fjord]

We are the mkvenner(s) of this story.

[plush mason]

didnt pray to the omnissia enough

[jade holly]

It’s that weak ass connector for the ear piece

Thin and flimsy

I’ve learned to hate headsets that use that design

[outer cobalt]

we probably could have cleared the hordes but the first Beast or Chaos Spawn it would have been a wrap, hell the first plague ogryns would probably have been too much

if we hadnt already succumbed to whatever fun plague papa nurgle cooked up for Atoma

[safe vigil]

I feel like they'd run into a lot of trouble once they meet that Moebian 6th

[outer cobalt]

definitely would have been a major issue

[safe vigil]

The cultists maybe, but the scabs are all veterans

[outer cobalt]

killing unarmed poxwalkers is one thing but actual armed combatants is a problem

[jade holly]

Oh are Hive scum basically your renegade underground cheap fighter?

[grave sparrow]

We got Black Library named character plot armor though babbbyyyy

[outer cobalt]

theyre the gang bangers of the 40k verse

[safe vigil]

Hive Scum are like your cyber-punks

or... gang bangers yes

[jade holly]

I know only one way that term is used so uhhhh

[plush mason]

that honestly the only reason i like the DKOK/SL skins, that kit just makes the most sense for this kinda battlefield

[safe vigil]

I need to learn more about hive gangers

from what I understand their basically feudal armies of the gangs

[grave sparrow]

Check out the houses of Necromunda

[jade holly]

Wasn’t there a cinematic of Death Korps vs Orks that took place in a similar setting to Darktide?

[grave sparrow]

shit's whack

[jade holly]

So Necromunda have nothing to do with Necrons

[outer cobalt]

youd definitely want to be wearing PPE

[safe vigil]

Armaggedon Steel Legion got the stuff for Atoma

[indigo fjord]

Necrons when?

jk

[outer cobalt]

yeah for kill team

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ML9BbLbOHM&t=12s

[plush mason]

DKOK kit works just about the same afaik. because they both come from and fight in similar places

[outer cobalt]

the krieg would probably be the ones to go in and purge the hive once things got out of hand lol

[jade holly]

Wait the Drukhari aren’t Eldar?

[safe vigil]

Dark Eldar definetly isn't Edlar

[grave sparrow]

Remember when Hammer and Bolter was the first GW produced animations for Warhammer+ after the IP crackdown and everyone was super pissed off?

then we got things like The Exodite, Angels of Death, and Pariah Nexus

[jade holly]

No wait they are

I looked up human factions and it showed the fucking Drukhari

[plush mason]

lmao

[plush mason]

if you ask the craftworld ones they arent

if you ask the drukhari they are the only true eldar

same for the exodites afaik

[jade holly]

Elves

Always trying to be something they’re not

empirical material

[safe vigil]

I've only seen the first season of Hammer and Boltor

and Angels of Death

[outer cobalt]

Suffer not the Xeno to live

[plush mason]

its the same crap the elves in fantasy in yup

the eldar are like the most 1:1 transfer from fantasy to 40k

[jade holly]

The coolest elves in fantasy imo are the Dwemer in Elder Scrolls

[plush mason]

thats a very low bar ngl lol

[jade holly]

Based Babylonian inspired elves who killed themselves trying to play god rather than sit about and follow their predestined path as their gods plan

[grave sparrow]

I thought they vanished because they discovered that their reality was all a dream and basically ascended.

[jade holly]

No

They died because they’re so egotistical they tried to make themselves gods

Actually I’m not sure if they are dead or just trapped in some absurd plane

[blazing locust]

So, lots of one liners about ogryns wanting to eat everything. Is it safe to say they are corpse vacuums after battles? Gotta get protein somehow right?

[grave sparrow]

And that, doesn't change the fact they "killed themselves/vanished" because the entirety of the Elder Scrolls takes place in the dreams of a god

[outer cobalt]

its still up for interpretation

both are popular opinions about what happened to them

[plush mason]

afaik the dwemer fucked around with the elder scrolls and found out why that is a bad idea

[plush mason]

ngl my money is they got eaten by Acatosh or whatever

[grave sparrow]

Was very likely part of how they achieved the "enlightenment" lol

[plush mason]

it very much was

because they built all kinds of shit to be able to read the scrolls safely

[grave sparrow]

iirc, they could manipulate reality via song, which is also how they made all those grand underground structures. The songs would manipulate the mind of the god head and shape their reality to their wanting

[outer cobalt]

maybe they died or maybe they are in another reality, but we do have the dwemer NPC in morrowind

[grave sparrow]

but yeah, I'm not entirely sure how the elder scrolls came into play, but I think when they figured out how to read them they done poofed out from extisential crisis lol

[plush mason]

they where the only ones to be able to read them and not go blind

so maybe they just went insane instead

[grave sparrow]

I'm having to look it up on the wiki, but apparently it was due to attaching their race to the Heart of Lorkhan, which is what Dagoth Ur was protecting

[plush mason]

you use one of their devices made to read the scrolls in skyrim iirc

[jade holly]

Yep

[grave sparrow]

ye, in the black reaches I think, that shit was so cool

[jade holly]

Keening, Wraithguard and….

uhhh

[grave sparrow]

sunder

[jade holly]

Sunder

The Tools of Kagrenac

[grave sparrow]

It's been a hot minute/couple decades since I've played morrowwind lol

[jade holly]

So Hive Scum, Arbitrates, Admech

what other classes?

Rogue Trader?

[plush mason]

my first ES game was oblivion and its still the best one to date imo

[grave sparrow]

I definitely liked Oblivion, it had its issues, but it was a blast to play

[storm jungle]

Rogue Traders fit better for adventure-esque stuff

Tertium is uhhh

not super the place for that

[jade holly]

Nah I’m sure there’s something

[plush mason]

look. VT2 has a summoner class. so if we do get a 4th for DT it has to be one too

[jade holly]

[grave sparrow]

gonna be a tinkerer/engineer class I bet

[jade holly]

So Admech

[grave sparrow]

summoning autoguns and whatnot lol

nah, admech would deal with their own convincts probably

make a lot of sense to arrest a tinkerer/engineer for tech heresy

[plush mason]

hell it can be a leymechainic with a servoskull that has an autopistol taped to it for all i care

[grave sparrow]

that'd be hilarious lol

[jade holly]

Enginseer?

[plush mason]

odds are it wouldnt be a full member of the cult

oh wait

rattling quartermaster that summons a squad of rattlings

and can pass out booze to the party

[jade holly]

I just want this either as a class or as a Zealot cosmetic

[plush mason]

is that a witchhunter?

[jade holly]

Idfk

I just think it looks badass

[plush mason]

i think it is

the big hat is iconic of that kind of hereticus inquisitor

[jade holly]

So does it work as a class or….

[storm jungle]

no because an Inquisitor is way above our grade

[plush mason]

yeah

[jade holly]

Psyker or Zealot skin then?

[plush mason]

could work for that yeah

i mean if Gryndal has SL and DKOK on their payroll throne only knows what else they have

[jade holly]

SL?

[grave sparrow]

steel legion

[plush mason]

steel legion

[jade holly]

Oh

[plush mason]

also i would kill to have jackboots like Marrow's

[storm jungle]

Okay ill say this, it doesnt work BECAUSE of the way the game is setup.

Now lets say if Fatshark made the Tertium situation more like Vermintide where you are a small retinue of an Inquisitor who doesnt have a massive army behind him/her and just wants to go down and solve the situation with you all together? That works.

The point i was making was thats not what the setup of THIS game is, here its just one problem among many others on Inquisitor Grendyl's radar and he has chosen Zola and his Interrogator Rannick to go and deal with it instead of him and report back to him.

[jade holly]

Man why can I never play the cool looking crap

[plush mason]

isnt the fringe war still raging while all of this is happening?

[storm jungle]

just explaining so im not just being a negative nancy

[storm jungle]

Yep but thats not our aim

[plush mason]

yeah i know but i wonder if Gryndal is also keeping an eye on that

[storm jungle]

Inquisitors and Rogue Traders are basically built with an RPG mindset in mind, its why you can have them be in any sort of scenario with any sort of power/team-members/abilities etc

its extremely D&D esque that way

[outer cobalt]

im sure the guard is doing its thing

[plush mason]

hell afaik both of them are from GW's take on the DND tt games

[storm jungle]

Yeah its for Dark Heresy and the titular Rogue Trader

where you can do your own games/plots

40k is suppose to be a massive sandbox setting

[plush mason]

yeah its got wargames and rng adventures just by default

[jade holly]

Yet we get mid tier Psykers and can’t play an Inquisitor

[storm jungle]

Yeah Fatshark chose a more safer route lol

compared to Vermintide where you are a full blown adventure team

[plush mason]

there is the ARPG inquisitor

where you can be an inquisitor and one shot great unclean ones for kicks kekw

all while solo

[storm jungle]

Yeah you can basically do anything

though thats stuff to usually avoid

because it just enters mary sue category

[plush mason]

100000%

[storm jungle]

And GW is also guilty of his

[arctic talon]

be a beter writer

[storm jungle]

^

[plush mason]

hell the ARPG's plot is about finding a freak of nature that is both psyker and blank and was made to be a copy of the emperor kek

[storm jungle]

Yeah lmao

[plush mason]

and then yeeting her into the warp to stop a second eye of terror from opening

[storm jungle]

Inquisitor games should be just like Darktide where you deal with a small threat on your own amidst thousands of other problems across the galaxy

theres nothing wrong with them being grand, you just gotta know your limit

[plush mason]

yeah

oh so, does the imperium have anything like a boombox/ipod or cd player

[jade holly]

I’m sure they do otherwise where are these sick beats coming from?

[plush mason]

true

just hijack the 6th's radios and blare imperial advance

[storm jungle]

Theres a boombox in the game

it just has a skull in the middle

[plush mason]

lol

right i remembered them right after i asked

[jade holly]

The machine spirit blasting the hardest beats while I beat a rogue captain’s ass

[plush mason]

i always punch or shoot them if they make noise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olqaqM21Dro this has been viewed 1.2 million times btw

btw im having a mania episode rn so sorry in advance

[storm jungle]

classic Jesper Kyd reaction

[plush mason]

it started before i started watching lol

i tend to spam post when i have an episode

[storm jungle]

lmao its alright

[warm notch]

What are the lore implications of having such a banger soundtrack

[warm notch]

Imagine giving your entire life to the Imperium and then your remains become part of someone's fucking boombox that some convicts randomly stumble upon and destroy 'just because'

[storm jungle]

Couldn't be me

💀

[warm notch]

There really needs to be more destructible objects that you can just interact with in-game

Would give the levels more flavor

'just because'

[queen laurel]

Please no, i can barely run darktide i don't want another one that would contribute to fps lost

[warm notch]

The Imperium of Mankind is just so fucking unserious lmao

Its probably why the 40k universe is one of my favorite settings 💀

[queen laurel]

To be honest they're incredibly zealous nature and absolute belief in humanities superiority makes them one weirdest fictional factions i've met

The amount of propaganda spread and the galaxies to the point that even the lowliest of servants would die as just being slaves for their whole life

[crisp heath]

Do ogryns and ork’s like fighting each other?

I feel like in another life they’d be buddies

[warm notch]

The fact that Darktide is literally just a workplace comedy is so fucking funny

[queen laurel]

Yeah

Orks respect ogryns

And will willingly even hire them as mercenaries

[crisp heath]

That’s a thing?

[queen laurel]

Yeah

[crisp heath]

What do they pay them with? Teeth?

[warm notch]

friendship 🤷‍♂️

[queen laurel]

Lunk's Ladz, the mercenary ogryns that work for the Bad Krumpany

The mek of the bad Krumpany disabled the burst limiters on their guns, allowing them to fire fully auto without any repercussions

[broken zealot]

wow

[plush mason]

wtf is the bad Krumpany?

[warped briar]

worse krumpany

[queen laurel]

A group of Blood axe Orks that think that imperial tactics are good

And so they copy a lot of imperial tactics and even attire to some degree

War boss even has a pet human

[warped briar]

think like the enemy but do it better eh? seems too smart for orks

[plush mason]

i thought the ork commissar stuff was just a meme

[queen laurel]

Those are Blood axe

[queen laurel]

Orks of the blood axe clan are absolutely hated by the other orks because they use tactics and even retreat when needed, they like imperium tactics and are actually the first orks to meet them

They copy a lot of imperial clothing choices

[warped briar]

hmm if i had to pick one ork clan to join it would be the evil sunz

speed is life

[warm notch]

So is everyone pronouncing 'Roboute Guilliman' differently lore-accurate

[forest orbit]

Nah

he has one name

Ro-BOOTAY Gul-lee-man.

at least thats how british people spell it

[warped briar]

rowboat girlyman

[queen laurel]

I call him giant blue depressed blueberry

[plush mason]

i call him papasmurf

[warm notch]

I mean like

[forest orbit]

no thats me

[warm notch]

All the rejects pronounce his name differently lmao

I'm just wondering if thats intentional 💀

[forest orbit]

yeah thats because he has a complex name

its why they all call him Guilliman

much more simple

[queen laurel]

Yeah Guilliman is already quite something to pronounce

[warm notch]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/T4IoDLoQbTM

Well the rejects pronounce it differently lmao

I find it very amusing

[forest orbit]

its the actors probably

what would you do if that name showed up on your script

freestyle that shit

[warped briar]

fuckin goolyman

[warm notch]

Either the voice director puts their different pronunciations in to make the personalities feel more authentic or its lack of care idk

[queen laurel]

Sorry mate i call you the local black templar that carries a shotgun

[warm notch]

I'm nitpicky about this because of shitty English dubs that have different pronunciations for the same names (looking at you Genshin Impact)

[warped briar]

could be more of the script writers than anything for not knowing the pronounciations or it's on purpose

[warm notch]

It'd be funnier if its on purpose

[thick cedar]

What is Auric-Level anyway? Is that like Spec-OPs or Navy Seals?

[warped briar]

think expendables level

[thick cedar]

Never seen that movie

[warped briar]

high skilled band of mercs

[green loom]

Auric would be gold, so basically spec ops yeah
In our case, it's for actual, proper warband kill teams with full operatives(aka us post 30)

[grave sparrow]

Ya know, I'm just wondering when vanilla is gonna support scoreboard and actual level or whatever it is

[green loom]

I don't think they want to include either

And if I'm being honest

The only argument you need against it is people who use the scoreboard mod

[sleek wigeon]

i wouldnt object to scoreboard going official but it'd need some refinery

nice for spotting weakpoints in your builds or seeing where a teammate could improve

(but yeah you'd obviously have people being toxic, guilty of it myself)

[safe vigil]

having a scoreboard was the most common critism of vermintide 2

players running ahead/off to pump their numbers

[sleek wigeon]

tbh that's just funny
remember a friend of mine running off and activating everything in chaos wastes trying to make up for not having good matches

he proceeds to end the run then and there :D

cant really be mad at it, shits funny to me

[undone zodiac]

Average kerillian player rushing ahead, downing and proceeding rq

[clear cipher]

Are the ogryns in this game one of the smarter ones? Like they can solve the interrogation device puzzles

[median marsh]

Most, if not all of them, have undergone the bonehead procedure or at least implied that they have so they are smarter than most ogryns

[queen laurel]

Bodyguard and Bully are naturally smart

Brawler is the only one with the implant

but his implant is unfortunately cooking his brain

[median marsh]

Guard talks about asking for the procedure

[plush mason]

random thought just popped in my head, are there any space marine chapters that use orange as their primary color?

[green loom]

It's fucking annoying is what it is

So far I've only had one sweaty meta-dog rushing zealot in almost 300 hours, in VT2 I couldn't even play multiplayer because everyone ran the hell ahead

[green loom]

I recall one but it's uncommon iirc

Lemme looks

The Covenant of Fire and Knights of Gryphonne are both mainly orange

[wintry scarab]

Can space marine scouts wear helmets or nah?

I guess not right, because they dont have the exo suit and the helmet connects to the suit?

sorry, fibro-muscle not exo suit

[undone zodiac]

They do have special visors at least

[green loom]

They don't wear marine helmets

[undone zodiac]

On tabletop people like to kitbash stormtrooper helmets on them tho

[green loom]

Mye methinks there's no like

[wintry scarab]

Yeah, i have my own homebrew chapter but i want to keep it within lore as close as i can.

[green loom]

Full on rule against it

[undone zodiac]

Yea i could see scouts having helmet of some kind

Anything to not paint faces

[wintry scarab]

At some point I'll get a 3d printer and I think it would be cool to redesign space marine helmets to look a bit different and fit the scouts.

At least its cool to fantasise about doing so because i doubt i'd ever get around to it lol.

[green loom]

Look at vanguard primaris

[spare osprey]

Very easily yes

[normal light]

They look bad 💀

[vague flare]

Who is the strongest chaos god?

[wet sandal]

Their strengths are not comparable

[queen laurel]

Khorne

In terms of raw power output

he is the god of war and blood

In warhammer those two things are plenty

So basically every second he is getting powerful

[vague flare]

That’s kinda what I figured.

[vague flare]

Well, certainly one is arguably more powerful than the others. I mean, Bulgar raises a very good point about Khorne. He’s the chaos god of war and blood which are plentiful in Warhammer. Surely that counts for something right?
But of course, I’m aware that each chaos god has their own ways of growing stronger. Slaanesh feeds off desires and pleasure, Nurgle feeds off disease and decay, Tzeentch… I actually don’t know

[green loom]

Varies

Sometimes it's Khorne, sometimes nurgle, sometimes the other two

[vague flare]

Ah fair

[queen laurel]

Tzeentch used to be the strongest thanks to the advancements of humanity Khorne and Nurgle decided to knock his *** down a few pegs

[green loom]

It ultimately doesn't really matter since if one gets too big the others just team up on them until the playing field is even again

[queen laurel]

the way the setting is currently going Khorne we'll get the gang up beat up treatment

Each passing second he is getting more power which the other three do not like

[vague flare]

Interesting

Thank you all for the responses!

So in Darktide specifically, could it be said that Nurgle is the most powerful?

[queen laurel]

war is still happening in the planet so it can still indirectly affect khorne

[wet sandal]

In darktide Nurgle's influence is obviously most profound

[queen laurel]

But yes currently the cultist favor Nurgle

[green loom]

On Atoma Nurgle just has the largest chaos cult

[vague flare]

Through mostly means of corrupting the populace I’m guessing, based on the cutscenes in the beginning

[green loom]

The great game proper transcends regular reality

The hordes of shambling corpses are unwilling yeah

But all the dregs are full cult members

[celest dome]

Depend on the period, their power wax and wane all the time

At the moment it's mostly Nurgle which is starting to wane and Khorne that is wax

[dire thunder]

What are you guys gunna do when Dante and Mephiston sacrifice themselves to resurrect Sanguinius?

All the Primarchs are coming out the ass so like it’s only a matter of time where best boy comes back

[green loom]

I doubt we'll get him back

Prolly a new Sanguinor instead

[queen laurel]

didn't sanguinius get fragmented

I'm pretty sure he's like ripped apart to pieces right

I might be misremembering here but I'm pretty sure he got a very gruesome death

[dire thunder]

Nah it wasn’t that bad

He had gone through quite a lot before fighting Horus and just got beat by Horus

[storm jungle]

He basically got his shit kicked in

the artwork makes it look prettier than what is gonna happen to him soon

[queen laurel]

got to stay fancy even in the beating

so they say

[dire thunder]

Yea he fought Chaos Titans, Ka’Bhanda and Angron before confronting Horus so he was a little fucked up

[green loom]

Yeah I've read the spoilers, it ain't pretty

[storm jungle]

Lmao yep

[green loom]

Wasn't his body starting to rot/blacken from Angron's stab wound too

[storm jungle]

Sanguinius basically had plot armor to the max before going to Horus since he isnt literally allowed to die yet lol

[queen laurel]

Ka'bandha straight up beat him in the first fight

[dire thunder]

Yea if not for everything else Hawkboy would’ve beaten the shit out of Horus

They had to break his plot armor and put chips in it before they could kill him. I’d say Plot Armor saved Horus from Sanguinius

[storm jungle]

Not really

Horus was literally an avatar of chaos at that point

him beating the shit out of Sanguinius is entirely fair

[green loom]

Yeah it can barely be called Horus

[storm jungle]

^

[green loom]

He's more or less just a flesh puppet by the end

Whatever was left of "Horus" got axed by Maloghurst after Russ stabbed him

[storm jungle]

Sanguinius beating everything thrown at him then acting "uwu im so mopey" already got tiring after the first few Siege books

[queen laurel]

Horus was a kind man that one was a monster

[storm jungle]

idk dude

the End and the Death Horus is pretty funny

[green loom]

Well no Horus was manipulative and egotistical by default

His little Davin Debacle made things much worse

[queen laurel]

eh I call him bald man

[dire thunder]

I don’t think so straight Sanguinius would’ve raw dogged Chaos Horus

[green loom]

Maybe when Fresh

But Sangy hasn't stopped fighting for like a month or more by then

[storm jungle]

no

[dire thunder]

Again he only lost cause of his dire injuries

[storm jungle]

He didnt

[green loom]

And he's also still wounded

[storm jungle]

he lost because Horus was literally an avatar of chaos

hes stronger than him

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's like an Angel fighting the God of evil

[green loom]

Yeah in End and the Death it's basically not even "reality" anymore, it doesn't matter how strong who is

[storm jungle]

^

[queen laurel]

an is angel strong yes but nothing against a god

[storm jungle]

Also found the excerpt

Horus legit went

https://tenor.com/view/watch-yo-tone-fnaf-fnaf-memes-gif-24043137

[dire thunder]

No I don’t think you realize how strong Sanguinius actually was. He was regarded as one of the absolute strongest Primarchs

Leman Russ beat Chaos Horus

[green loom]

Like it's been a pretty consistent story beat in the last few siege books

[storm jungle]

Horus wasnt an avatar at that point.

[dire thunder]

And Leman got his ass whooped by Sanguinius

[green loom]

Russ beat conflicted horus

[storm jungle]

Sanguinius lasted as long as he did because he literally has in-universe plot-armor.

[green loom]

Who also wasn't in the warp

[green loom]

This is entirely irrelevant

Power levels are made up

Like this isn't some vague little event anymore

We've got a dozen books detailing the siege and the leadup to the fight

Horus isn't Horus anymore, he's functionally a god

[dire thunder]

Ruin Storm makes it pretty clear how Sanguinius could beat Horus

[green loom]

Ruin storm was a few books before this

[queen laurel]

yeah in warhammer 40k A Guardsman could beat up a bloodthirster if the author wanted

[green loom]

Like you have to understand, by end and the death

There is no Terra

It's all a literal setpiece

Twisted by the warp

[storm jungle]

Horus is also on his way to become another chaos god

[green loom]

Horus has become so powerful that his will shapes and bends reality to his whims

[storm jungle]

Sanguinius is not beating him

as I said before the entire reason he survived this long is because he is suppose to get killed by Horus as per the script

[green loom]

I'd say something but that's spoilers for volume 2

[queen laurel]

The emperor literally had to full on doctor Manhattan the guy

just to make sure he doesn't survive

[storm jungle]

Spoiler it

I need the juicy bits

[queen laurel]

Do it chapter master aren't you so brave to face an inquisitor?

[green loom]

||Sangy gets to the bridge because Horus lets him
He then beats Horus, but only because Horus was trying to convince him to join
Horus then grabs his next attack, bashes the Talon of Horus into his chest, and breaks his ribs, spine and neck by twisting it||

[storm jungle]

LMAO

JESUS CHRIST

[green loom]

Yeah Horus is a bit beyond the others by now

[storm jungle]

Okay thats genuinely hilarious

he was pulling an Armstrong on him

[green loom]

More or less

[storm jungle]

"How the fuck did you become Warmaster?"

"Well I don't write my own speeches "

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-metal-gear-rising-mgr-armstrong-gif-26250693

[green loom]

"Played Cthonian Football you know"

"Could've gone pro if I hadn't joined the Emperor"

[storm jungle]

Is there any other good spoiler?

[queen laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/finish-him-fatality-kick-liu-kang-baraka-gif-16210933

[storm jungle]

I legit cannot be arsed to read this book

[green loom]

From the like

[queen laurel]

full on Mortal Kombat

[green loom]

Vague summary I got

[median marsh]

Now I'm picturing Horus launching sang like a ball across the deck

"Don't fuck with THIS warmaster!"

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/watch-yo-tone-fnaf-fnaf-memes-gif-24043137

[green loom]

||Vulkan activates the Talisman of Seven Hammers
The real dark king may or may not have been Emps, but that hinged on him eating up warp power like crazy, which Ollanius and co tell him off from, probably why he drops dead at the end||

[storm jungle]

Huh fair enough

[queen laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/armstrong-metal-gear-rising-senator-armstrong-gif-26250690

[storm jungle]

||wait who drops dead||

[green loom]

I haven't seen a proper spoiler thread yet

[green loom]

||As in, why he's left crippled after the fight with Horus, cus he went and fought him on what would be as close to "even ground" as we'll get||

[storm jungle]

AH okay yeah

[dire thunder]

What’s the timeline of Darktide

[storm jungle]

r40klore forbids people from posting recent releases since they are redditor neckbeards, we gotta probably rely on another source

[dire thunder]

How long has Atoma been under siege?

[storm jungle]

During the Plague Wars + we dont know the siege time

[green loom]

The Siege is recentish

[dire thunder]

Learning about the Cult of Admonition and their role in Darktide

[green loom]

The Cult's been there a while, but they finally sprung an uprising with the Moebians tagging along

[dire thunder]

How they had their influence on the Moebians and 6th regiment before it really fell

Atoma is important for the materials and Leman Russ Tanks but why don’t they just Exterminatus

[queen laurel]

The imperium wants to keep as much of their territory as possible

[median marsh]

Exterminatus is a very extreme measure

[queen laurel]

They might be monsters but they are monsters that love their territory

[median marsh]

It doesn't happen often

[dire thunder]

Let the Grey Knights see what’s happening

[queen laurel]

Wasting an exterminatus on a planet like this in the first place is quite something

[median marsh]

Kryptman blew up several worlds and got declared an idiot

[green loom]

Yeah Atoma is an imperial stronghold, not a random backwater

Exterminatus is much rarer than most morons think

[queen laurel]

yeah that guy at least had a reason to try to get the tyranids out of the system, wasting an entire exterminatus because a few heretics that we can deal with are just living there is another brand of stupid

[dire thunder]

That’s why I said Exterminatus why lose those resources to Chaos and not just let everyone lose the resources

[queen laurel]

because losing resources is still losing resources

[median marsh]

Imperium isn't exactly in position to throw stuff around anymore

[dire thunder]

Idk the lore behind Darktide enough to talk like this though tbh

[queen laurel]

Yeah the meat grinder strategy of war is extremely costly

[green loom]

You're blowing up a hive world and sector capital

That's not even lost

[dire thunder]

How far gone is the planet?

[green loom]

Not very

[dire thunder]

Seems like it’s barely standing do we even see any guard regiments?

[queen laurel]

The fact that our strike teams can still function within the deeper places means that it's not that gone

Heavier reinforcements would have been called if we can't deal with it

[green loom]

It's a crisis for sure, but there's still a pitched war going on

[dire thunder]

Yea but is that not plot armor?

Like how is the plague working?

Cause our characters can just walk in and out without any issues

[green loom]

Abnett wrote the background, the Ghosts go near daemonic shit nonstop and are mostly fine

[storm jungle]

Theres an entire war going on around and in the hive, you can see PDF regiments holding off chokepoints and having firefights with the Moebians in the distance in some skyboxes.

[dire thunder]

Idk how our characters even beat a Daemonhost with how strong they can be

[storm jungle]

we are still fastly losing operatives

[queen laurel]

we have regular disinfection on the ship when we arrive from a mission, also gameplay and lore don't in interact well

[dire thunder]

I do see that

[storm jungle]

Morrow comments on it and constantly requests replacements

[dire thunder]

Yea I noticed

The gameplay and lore interactions I mean

[green loom]

The Tanith, in book one, kill multiple chaos marines, a daemon, and also go through heaps and heaps of corrupted bs and lose like 3 people to actual warpy stuff

How fucked chaos gets is entirely dependant on the author/plot relevance

40k is not a setting of cold, hard rules

[queen laurel]

yeah warhammer has the most bendable properties for a plot ********

[green loom]

It's mainly just drama

[queen laurel]

like if you tell me a guardsman somehow kicked the nuts off chaos marine and win

I will 100% believe it

inconsistency in this setting is about as common as finding rocks outside of your house

[plush mason]

iirc our pilot says the imperium controls the skies while the heretics control the rails so the hive still has a chance

[normal light]

That’s why we should get more stories about Chaos Space Marines decapitating poor guardsman

[dire thunder]

I’d say Fantasy was a lot more bendable look at how the series ended

[river sequoia]

The vast majority of a hive is out of reach of air support, its like the interior to a country sized building... unless you just bomb layers off the surface like turbo belt sanding.

[green loom]

Idk it looks like our fellas are flying around fine

[river sequoia]

Its kind of questionable how they are, but their are probably fly zones corridors inside, with accessable landing pad zones

[green loom]

Yeah like we see in game

The Hive interior is massive, Tertium isn't even a single hive

It's a Hive cluster

[river sequoia]

Or those inquisitor pilots are absolute mad lads, who are as skilled as they are crazy.

[green loom]

Like Consigment yard is entirely within the Hive Interior

The only maps where we can even see the sky are the desert ones

[river sequoia]

I imagine those maps are in the outer hive industrial zones, so not in the thick of it. I read Hive cities are like massive iceburgs, what you can see from the air is just a small portion of its massive volume

[warm notch]

I wonder what a hive town looks like

Or even a hive village

[storm jungle]

We see some ingame

literally a shithole basically

[green loom]

Look up next time on Consigment yard

[warm notch]

Oh you mean the torrent?

[storm jungle]

Yep

[green loom]

There is no sky lol

[queen laurel]

still better than detroit

[green loom]

We also get Valkyrie exfil on uhhh

Hive Draco

Sorry

Hab Draco

Chasm Logistratum

Throneside

[warm notch]

The torrent is literally a shanty town made in the waste system of the entire hive city

So gross

[storm jungle]

im glad we dont have places like that IRL

oh wait

[warm notch]

Oh wait

[green loom]

Yeah the chars tend to remark that the people there survive on feces

[warm notch]

Something something something water cartel

[storm jungle]

yeah literally sifting through shit for food

[queen laurel]

you know the funny part?

It goes lower

[warm notch]

Something something the enforcers abandoned the area

[warm notch]

Wild

I wonder if the Nurgle invasion goes higher than throneside

No wait it does cuz we go outside the city limits for the desert map don’t we?

Or that’s not necessarily higher but rather ‘outside’ the city

Whatever my brain hurts now

[green loom]

The uprising proper has hit Throneside

But they have benefactors in the spire nobility

[green loom]

Still inside city limits, like I said it's massive

It's just an abandoned portion

[river sequoia]

Ya think the hive nobility is in on spreading corruption?

[warm notch]

Why wouldn’t they? 🤔

I imagine being a noble gets boring

Emperor forbid people have hobbies

[green loom]

We haven't even seen these in game yet

But I Figure we'll eventually move on

[storm jungle]

One of the noble houses is helping the Moebians, that is a plotpoint in the current new map

[warm notch]

Archivum Sycorax?

Wait really

[storm jungle]

yep

[warm notch]

When do they say that

[storm jungle]

its the entire reason we go to the archives to get a list of suspects

[green loom]

Ascension Riser also

[storm jungle]

LITERALLY IN THE MISSION

[warm notch]

Uh

[storm jungle]

[warm notch]

Before or after the scroll

[green loom]

Yeah you're grabbing info on people lol

[storm jungle]

Before, after and in the middle

[warm notch]

I’m sorry the only times I’ve been in that mission was like

When I’m literally fighting for my life

On Hi int 💀

[river sequoia]

Its nurgle, typically nobles actually live pretty good lives, so they fall into Slanessh cults. Nurgle doesn't offer much spoiled noblemen want, Nurgle offers a lot to the downtrotten lower class.

[green loom]

Darktide concept art is so fkn good

[warm notch]

I need to play Heresy at some point cuz I feel like I miss so much dialogue playing on damnation all the time lmao

[green loom]

Power is power

They could be sponsoring the cult without being chaos tainted

To fuck things hard enough to supplant the current Lord Moebian

[warm notch]

Can I give a quick shoutout to the name ‘throneside’

Throneside is such a fantastic name

[river sequoia]

Now using the nurgle infection as distraction to make power play moves, that is pretty much par for the course

[celest dome]

I'm betting on using the crystals to make a Lascutter and start Pay Day 40k

[warm notch]

‘Throneside’ implies that the area is close to the Emperor’s throne, signifying the affluence of the people there

[celest dome]

Not the Emperor's throne
It just mean it's the religious sector

[green loom]

Yeah

[warm notch]

Ohhh

Really?

[green loom]

There's a lot more temple/scholarly stuff there

[warm notch]

I thought it meant something else

It is definitely much nicer

I wonder what the residential areas of the higher ups look like then

🤔

[green loom]

See here

[river sequoia]

literal doomed palices

[green loom]

They're called Spire Nobility for a reason

[queen laurel]

The higher you go to a hive city the more beautiful it is

[green loom]

Typically Houses will own their own spires and stuff iirc

[queen laurel]

But only really privileged people are allowed their

Because

[fossil cypress]

imagine being able to see the sky

[queen laurel]

Power

[arctic talon]

Inb4 we get a mission where we’re sent to slaughter some nobles

[warm notch]

Would there be like a class of people who are just a little bit more privileged than the ones we see in the habs

But not necessarily nobility

[arctic talon]

Yes but they still live in habs

[green loom]

Yeah, there should be an entire merchant/"middle class"

But like

[arctic talon]

Just less shit ones

[green loom]

That's 40k middle class

So still pretty garbage

[warm notch]

Lol

[green loom]

Just not eating literal feces to survive

[warm notch]

Would that be the people who run the manufactorums

[queen laurel]

Yeah now you're eating shit food to survive

Taste bad but it's better than shit

[river sequoia]

mangers get a decent living (subject to change based on planet)

[arctic talon]

No

Those are above the torrent

But live in shitty areas still

The torrent is close to the bottom rungs

No one cares if they starve

[warm notch]

If the habs are any indication

[river sequoia]

I still don't think we have entered the underhive proper

[arctic talon]

We haven’t

[warm notch]

I guess that means people who are a part of Grendyl’s warband get it pretty good

[arctic talon]

But the underhive might as well not be considered a part of society

[arctic talon]

We live in a gilded cage lol

[green loom]

It doesn't hurt for most of our chars since it's more or less a flat upgrade to what they're used to

[warm notch]

Being a part of the warband gives special privileges don’t it?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[green loom]

Depends what you consider privileges

[queen laurel]

You're just basically specialized troops for an inquisitor right now for a rank

[arctic talon]

Like 3 meals a day

Lol

[river sequoia]

Wish that including getting marksmen scopes for marksmen rifles

[warm notch]

Holy shit no way

[arctic talon]

And actual bedding

I doubt the rejects were fed a full meal as conscripts

[green loom]

I hope they expand the mourningstar at some point

[warm notch]

Housing system pls 🥺👉👈

[queen laurel]

Like complaining about the food can get us locked up

[arctic talon]

You might get something that isn’t literal slop for food as well

Maybe

[warm notch]

I need more superfluous systems that don’t add anything but flavor

[arctic talon]

You can even get some heavily processed grox meat

Most likely

[warm notch]

Seer Psyker mentions how disappointed they are at Fanatic Zealot drinking again

Does that mean alcohol is widely accessible?

[river sequoia]

Honestly the reject story is kinda dumb, its an inquisitor warband, it would make sense that an elite team of spec ops grade vets, orgyns, priest, and psykers armed with the best equipment and purity seals, are how they make it even 10 seconds against a beast of nurgle

[warm notch]

I wonder what would happen if the Imperium decided to make a prohibition on alcohol lmao

[arctic talon]

The beast of nurgle is honestly ludonarative dissonance

But

[river sequoia]

Oh yeah, cigrettes (lowsticks) too

[arctic talon]

Plenty of the conscripts died horrifically

[storm jungle]

A lot of operatives still die off-screen

[arctic talon]

We’re an exception to the rule

[storm jungle]

if you listen in the hub area on the ship Morrow constantly asks for more bodies

[warm notch]

And on screen lol

[arctic talon]

Also yeah there’s dead operatives as well

All around the stages

Or dead pdf and enforcers

[warm notch]

There was that ogryn that died fighting that hound

[storm jungle]

"AUGHHH IM MARTYRINGGGG"

[warm notch]

Probs the most recognizable one

[arctic talon]

Where’s the funny radio

Broadcasting horrific deaths

[warm notch]

Lol

[storm jungle]

Dude

im going to buy stuff at Melk

then the radio next to his station is blurting out operatives screaming to death

[arctic talon]

Just another day in the warband

Also there’s 0 chance that guy in the melk introduction cinematic lives lol

He’s totally fucking dead

[warm notch]

It’s funny how powerful our operatives are to even become part of the warband proper yet we’re still disposable and treated like garbage (tho arguably less like garbage when we get into the warband)

[river sequoia]
