It’s so unlike her to apologize 💀

“UNLEASH THE POWER OF THE SERVO-SKULL! . . . sorry I don’t know what came over me”

Pretty sure that’s one of her attempts at humor

warm notch
#

The fact that it can read as supremely out of character for her makes it a 11/10 joke

It’s like her “I have total confidence in you, was that convincing”

“I can never tell”

# queen laurel Mechanicus very rarely show emotions

They do actually feel emotion, their are processes where they can suppress emotion centers in their brains, but its hit or miss. The motion they feel the most though is absolutely nerd rage fights with other magi. They really do not like their knowledge being questioned.

warm notch
#

Tech priests are nerds

arctic talon
#

Lol what’s new

river sequoia
#

In the mechanicus books, sometimes it literally felt like a nerd culture message board, when the techpriest argue.

queen laurel
#

I guess i should have worded it more properly

river sequoia
#

naw, its fair, the popular perception from those outside the cult mechanicus is they are emotionless machines.

celest dome
normal light
#

no

#

no

#

no

#

And another no

river sequoia
#

It has a lot to do with how the cult mechanicus views the common folk. Those inside the cult, can develop a viewpoint that unaugmented humans are basically tools (or cogs) to fuel their machines. Their forced labors and hardship are a honor, and as long as the machine they are dying to maintain continues to function, they will join the motive force honorably in death.

#

To those outside the cult, and worse in service to the cult. What they experience is unsympathetic slave drivers who do not care about humanity most of the time.

#

Its the extreme pragmatism that originates from the age of strife for sure.

My question

Is why the fuck is melk giving out corpse starch bars

As a “treat”

river sequoia

True

But why through him

Could have had them given out in the mess hall

For real though, their either needs to be a currency exchange between material types or melk dockets, or plasteel should just be awarded for completeing missions. With so much RNG, would barely dent the crazy plastseel grind

What do you get if you finished your service in Astra Militarum, and how long is the average service duration?

celest dome
#

Depend on your regiment

storm jungle
#

Your life has no worth.

#

Only high ranking or very luckly guardsman that are higher in rank can sometimes get ""retirement"" but that is basically impossible to attain

river sequoia
storm jungle
#

A lot of the listed ones at the first row are also not that feasible

#

that would require you to basically "desert"

wet sandal
river sequoia
#

There are lore books with a ton of ex guardsmen

storm jungle
river sequoia
#

A lot of em ends up as noble bodyguards

storm jungle
green loom
#

Most of the footsloggers that don't die typically will start climbing ranks quickly

#

But if you're guard

#

You're basically making a career of it

wet sandal
storm jungle
#

Basically yeah

green loom
#

Like

celest dome

#

Reserves/something you can retire from is PDF

#

Guard is professional

storm jungle
#

I did say it lol

keen stratus
river sequoia
#

but its not, its basically unlikely

storm jungle
wet sandal
river sequoia
#

but guardsmen can and do retire out of service

green loom
#

At higher ranks

#

Typically afaik

storm jungle
#

the guard is not made for you to live your life to the fullest

#

its made for you to go die in a ditch defending an unimportant world

#

the ones that do make it are very skillful or lucky ones at the end of the day

green loom
#

And at that point

river sequoia
#

do remember at the scale of the imperial guard, thats still many billions of retired guardsmen across the galaxy

green loom
#

You're in deep enough to where that is your job

storm jungle
#

a lot of "retired" guardsman tend to be deserters

green loom
#

I also wouldn't call them "retired"

storm jungle
#

the guard just doesnt let you go

keen stratus
green loom
#

Unless you get a lucky break

river sequoia
storm jungle
green loom
#

That's not really the same thing

storm jungle
#

You will still get called to service

#

the Imperium does not care about anything close to "retirement" for its populace

green loom
#

You can get settlement rights

storm jungle
#

^

green loom
#

But like

#

You'll probably be PDF there too

#

Or will be fighting on that world

storm jungle
#

Yeah you will basically raise new regiments but you will get called back, theres guard vets who are literally wheelchair bound that still service the Militarum

#

theres no "out"

green loom
#

The only out is just

#

Suriviving to officer

storm jungle
#

Pretty much

green loom
#

And getting a cushy posting

storm jungle
warm notch
#

That doesn't sound too bad (by Imperium standards)

storm jungle
#

before you will basically be picked up again to act as on-site officers for the new regiment

#

in another shithole warzone

green loom
#

Or the planet is attacked and you're left as senior leadership

storm jungle
#

or that yes lol

warm notch
#

Even if you're disabled they'll still find ways to put you to work lmao

warm notch
#

ig thats kinda like equity in a very macabre way 💀

warm notch
storm jungle
#

Yeah the Imperium is not suppose to be a "good" place to serve or find a way out of not dying

green loom
#

The Schola always needs instructors, Garrisons need commanders, nobles need attaches

keen stratus
#

I wonder how corpse startch tastes like

#

There's no shortage of non-combat jobs

But you're still guard

warm notch
river sequoia
# storm jungle theres no "out"

Everyone works in the imperuim, but their is exits to guardsmen service, well documented across many books I have read, of guardsmen leaving the gaurd, to do something else. Even operating cranes for a cargo dock.

green loom
#

I recall something like

#

20 year long tours

#

But

#

That's provided you survive

#

And provided wherever you are isn't literal hell at that moment

storm jungle
# river sequoia Everyone works in the imperuim, but their is exits to guardsmen service, well do...

Exits which are like said before almost impossible to get as the stuff the Guard fight on a daily/weekly basis are hellish and can kill entire droves of them constantly.

Since we are referencing books, Gaunts Ghosts has the imperial command constantly telling the Ghosts they cant be given retirement/settlement world yet because they are too valuable to the current crusade efforts.

The only way to leave the Guard is just to get lucky, even if millions of guardsmen might get an "out" theres still trillions or more of them that go to die until they are of no use in other warzones.

#

thats just the authors doing the "ex-army character" trope without putting much thought into it half the time KEKW_ogryn

forest orbit
#

that yea theres not really a proper retirement in the guard 😂

#

only ways you can get out are pretty Han Solo in some fashion or the other

river sequoia
#

I am not disputing you are likely to die before retirement as a guardsmen, but it isn't a blanket impossibility. Most survivors stay career, ones that make it through, gravitate to guns for hire, or some other service (like PDF drill sergeants). The remainder work menial jobs, or do get colony seeding roles, in regard to the Gaunts Ghost, they didn't let em go, mostly because they were a regiment that regularly fought chaos, and didn't turn traitor. Exceptionally Rare and useful.

Oh and I agree the authors write to whatever plot convivence they need at the time. But it is lore as written so it stands.

green loom
#

I've dug up some examples

forest orbit
#

well yeah but its still basically a non-possibility

#

its just rare and lucky

green loom
#

As expected it varies

forest orbit
#

typical

green loom
#

The Tanith don't have a homeworld, but they're not allowed to settle since they're too useful

#

In older books something called The Tactica Imperium apparently mention a guard regiment will serve for 10 years before being rotated into an Army of Conquest, which will conquer a world that the rotated regiments will settle on

#

In Eisenhorn a Guard regiment is raised to handle a local campaign, and once finished they are demobilized and sent home

river sequoia
#

I think a part of the problem is the over representation of Cadian and Krieg. Their is no retirement there for sure.

green loom
#

In "Let the Galaxy Burn", an Atillan Rough Rider returns home, but he's been gone long enough for things to change drastically and just goes back to the guard

Cut throat refrence

green loom

In Ciaphas Cain regiments sometimes get rotated to their homeworlds to recoup losses

a mission profile

#

hang on

normal light
urban spire

yeah rest and refit

normal light
#

rather than send it

#

for relief

river sequoia
#

Lets not forget their are cushier roles in the guard as well, like artillery companies.

river sequoia
#

oh of course they die in droves too

normal light
#

Lots of flying things

green loom
#

Ciaphas Cain thought the same KEKW_ogryn

urban spire
#

when regiments get severely depleted, they're usually merged

normal light
#

Like yeah you are 5 km behing the front line

river sequoia
#

but you tend to try and keep the ork horde from impacting your artillery companies directly, and have aa bateries

Probably

Be rotated to fill in the line

💀

celest dome
#

I have to many skulls at home, postal service doesn't reach the plains of blood

urban spire
#

basically if you recharge a lasgun clip in a fire it'll become prone to jamming

#

what that means for a laser weapon is a mystery

arctic talon
#

I’d assume it fucks with the connector

#

Somehow

#

Maybe it doesn’t like getting exposed to an open fire

urban spire
#

that is definitely not its favourite thing

#

yeah maybe you have to reseat the power pack or something

#

like a stick of ram except it can explode if you fuck it up badly enough

river sequoia
#

watch of TT game of 60 lasgun shots concentrated into a SM squad. Oh boy, the tickles start hurting and killing. In lore though, a SM can go from tanking melta shots to being killed by a shovel.

urban spire
#

i know exactly what being at 100% peril feels like

#

i heard the 100% peril noise the last time i had to reseat my ram

arctic talon
#

Lol

urban spire
#

in lore a lasgun can kill a space marine with careful aim or volume of fire

green loom
#

Or a high powered, precise shot

arctic talon
#

On the tabletop it’s like

urban spire
#

since ceramite doesn't deflect laser fire it'll absorb the heat

arctic talon
#

A 5+ to wound

#

And then a 3+ to not die

urban spire
#

space marines are all hot shit until someone brings out the autocannon

river sequoia
arctic talon
#

If you want marine players to cry

#

Simply bring out a rapid fire battle cannon

urban spire
#

looking at the ffg rpgs, a hot shot laspistol is a real threat to a space marine

#

more so than an actual bolter

#

ok yeah that's actually been bothering me for a long time, how the fuck are space marines meant to fight other space marines without heavy weapons?

#

bolters aren't that great at penning power armour in the lore

#

or the ffg rpgs

river sequoia
#

And lets be honest with ourselves, a lot of even basic SM lore where they are 'invulnerable gods to anything but super heavy weapons' came from certain fanboy authors who should not be named. Narrative lately has made em more vulnerable.

arctic talon
urban spire
#

of course going by the lore, a space marine could simply catch a bolter round in his teeth and digest it for nutrients with his acid saliva

arctic talon
#

In most tabletop games they’re like

#

Suprisingly bad

#

Even rpg’s lol

#

But hotshots, plasmas, bolters

#

All of those can mess up a marine

urban spire
#

i think it's fairly appropriate

normal light
#

0 AP

AAAAA

#

1 DAMAGE

river sequoia
arctic talon
#

The tragedy of the bolter on the tabletop

#

It’s common

#

So it’s gona be bad

normal light
arctic talon
#

Hotshots used to be AP3

#

Which was funny as shit

#

Bolters were AP5 or 4

normal light
#

Plasma is a mystery to me because it not so relaible

arctic talon
#

I think 5

arctic talon
#

But hotshots used to just instakill marines lol

urban spire
#

hot shots in only war, with lascannon for scale

arctic talon
#

10/10

normal light
urban spire
#

that's 1d10+4 damage with 7 pen yeah

normal light
#

also hotshot would be strong

arctic talon
#

Hotshots prolly have been nerfed the most between like editions lol

urban spire
#

bolters

normal light
arctic talon
#

Nah

#

Just in general

normal light
#

EXCEPT FREAKING ELVES

arctic talon
#

Hotshots went from AP2 to AP3

#

And then in Horus heresy they’re like AP4 now lol

normal light
#

How

arctic talon
urban spire
#

of course bolters can fire kraken penetrators, which brings them to

#

7 pen

#

maybe space marines should just use hotshot volley guns

normal light
arctic talon
#

you mean how did GW think AP2 hotshot was a good idea?

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Older editions

normal light
#

Because like now they have -1

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Im talking about pre 8e

#

AP2 instakilled anything

#

Lol

#

No saves allowed aside from invulns

normal light
#

Most AT got dumped in 10th

except Lascannons

arctic talon
#

#

🤓

normal light
arctic talon
#

But bolters are surprisingly bad at killing marines

#

Then again

#

Marines are normally not killing other marines

river sequoia
#

I thought they whole big deal about bolters was what they did to unarmoured targets?

normal light
#

Crap

arctic talon

Lol

normal light

#

Tabletop is pretty lore inaccurate so the game is actually fun

urban spire

It’s usually Orks

Really really violent and big orks

#

Or cultists

urban spire
#

ok but statistically most fights in the galaxy involve orks so that feels unfair

warm notch
#

"Innocence proves nothing" goes so hard

warm notch
#

This society fucking sucks I love it

arctic talon
#

But bolters can kill marines somewhat well

#

In like

#

Most sane depictions of marine power level

river sequoia
arctic talon
#

Joint shots or sustained fire

#

Either kills a marine

#

And regarding marines using hotshot volley guns

#

Yes they should use them

normal light
#

Crap I still have flashbacks from Black Templars Primaris Crusader squad

river sequoia
#

That is something I noticed, cermamite armor is pretty brittle, and taking a bunch of hits will degrade it into broken chunks pretty quick.

urban spire
#

ok that's another funky thing

#

chainswords have ceramite teeth

#

how do they fight ceramite armour with those?

normal light
#

The meme is that

#

BT Chainswords somehow deal 1 more attack

#

Than other marine chainswords

river sequoia
#

I thought chainswords were adamantine or some other mythical metal?

arctic talon
#

Like

urban spire
#

let's ask lexicanum

arctic talon
#

Lore wise chainswords aren’t good

#

Against marines lol

normal light
arctic talon
#

Unless they’re one of the fancy ones

#

With mini power fields

river sequoia
#

I know the chainsword lore is inconsitent at best.

arctic talon
#

Aka be like the world eaters

#

Shove tiny power fields

#

Into your chain weapons

#

So you can just cut through stupid idiots trying to block your sword

warm notch
#

Chainswords just sound super inconvenient if you can’t rev it up

river sequoia
#

!Chainswords cutting into baneblades like they made of wood

urban spire
#

well, that clears that up

arctic talon
#

Eldar chainswords are also made out of

coarse pumice
arctic talon
#

Some weird super material lol

#

That just

urban spire
#

ok new question: why don't they make space marine armour out of adamantium?

arctic talon
#

eats people and armor alive

arctic talon
#

For the scale required

coarse pumice
#

Too heavy

arctic talon
#

Also yeah it’s heavy

river sequoia
#

or no STC

arctic talon
#

Nah

urban spire
#

answer: they do in terminator armour

arctic talon
#

Too thicc

coarse pumice
#

Also it might not even be practical at that width, fantasy materials and all

arctic talon
#

Also very expensive

#

Most chapters don’t own more then like

#

30 suits lol

#

Some straight up don’t have any

river sequoia
#

I know one thing, the imperium is the embodement of favoring cheap mass manufactured goods, even for the elite troops.

arctic talon
#

Economics of scale

green loom
#

Marine chapters typically have lots of higher end gear

#

The Marines just have to earn it a lot of the time lol

urban spire
#

idk, the guard fields a lot of precious materiel

arctic talon
#

Lamenters with literally 8 suits of terminator armor

urban spire
#

plasma guns for one

arctic talon
river sequoia
#

making little teeth on a chainsaw would be fairly easy to mass produce, making articulating suits of powered armor, very expensive.

arctic talon
#

The average lamenter army a player owns has more terminators then the chapter does

urban spire
#

imo space marines should have their own versions of sisters repentia

river sequoia
#

a goofy example is the deathwing, so many deathwings be getting clapped, you wonder just how many suits they have

urban spire
#

naked marines with eviscerators would be dope

arctic talon

First and second founding have privileges

river sequoia

The 1000 marine thing was always dumb

normal light
#

BT just has more melee attacks

arctic talon
#

There’s just more then 1000 marines now lol

1000 is only for the companies

#

Excluding support staff and such

GW finally with slightly more sane numbers

river sequoia
arctic talon
#

Still stupid

urban spire
#

on one hand good, on the other, ugh more space marines

arctic talon
#

Just slightly less dumb

arctic talon
river sequoia
#

The main thing is now we can have stories of SM chapters taking major losses and not just be wiped out.

urban spire
#

it was slightly funny how if you looked at the numbers there was probably less than 1 space marine to go around per world in the imperium

versed ledge
#

So is there deep layer to the warp?

urban spire
#

i think we should have more stories where SM chapters take major losses and ARE wiped out

keep in mind that the warp isn't a dimension of space or a physical location

arctic talon

Also that

urban spire

it's not like a 4th dimension type deal

It's basically hell, and it has a second layer

I’m so glad they removed the scoreboards. It got exhausting watching people chase green circles in VT2

Also, mayyyybeee we should move this to general since that I thought I was in to begin with

storm jungle
#

like what the actual fuck am i looking at

river sequoia
#

I have scoreboard in mostly to check if build changes actually make a difference half the time, between the lack of meaningful descriptions and esoteric math FS jammed in, never judge other players with it nope.

celest dome
#

Not even everything that FS track afaik, spoke with the dude who made the mod a long time ago

urban spire
#

i like the high detail scoreboard

#

the idea is that you go into the mod settings and customize it to only show the things you care about

storm jungle
urban spire
#

but most people are just like MORE STATS GOODERER and enable everything

river sequoia
#

Its also a mod, and I have def seen it really seem to do bizarro things.

urban spire
#

yeah it doesn't track bosses killed at all for one

#

and of course someone made a submod to break down the stats even more

river sequoia
#

The only thing I allow myself to get mad at other players from the scoreboard is when people don't pick up plasteel, my crippling plasteel addiction itches.

although to be fair it's possible he called me the slur because he ran up to a poxburster while i was brain bursting it and got upset with me when that didn't go great for him

#

that's kind of on me but also maybe don't run up to the poxburster whose head is visibly about to explode

#

he didn't die form it or anything

river sequoia
#

Darktide is a hectic choatic game, players who get mad about being a pixel off in targeting should go back to CS-GO or something.

crisp heath

#

I thought the first BFGA was better misson wise, they went for quantity of campaign in the second one, I liked the narritive driven missions in the first one better.

arctic talon
#

They were fun to see lol

storm jungle
desert dust
#

It's literally just how much damage did I take and what is my build good at clearing

storm jungle
#

much better

crisp heath
#

Honestly the Necron victory for Gothic being canon would be great LBH Abbadon is kind of a poorly written character and it would put chaos on the backburner for a bit so some of the other races could show up.

storm jungle
#

Thats a very bad idea to just get all the chaos fanboys to hate it though 💀

river sequoia
#

I think its better, if the necrons are actually pushed in a bit to admit chaos winning is bad, and begrudgingly admit to helping the imperium.

arctic talon
#

because it changes the setting too much fundamentally

plush mason
green loom
plush mason
#

ok "deep warp" sounds neat

green loom
#

Yeah it relates to shit like the Well of Eternity that Tzeentch toyed with

plush mason
#

yeah

green loom
#

Wonder if the Harrowing have anything to do with it

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

Abbadon being dead is a big change

#

tbf

#

He is literally the glue holding together any semblance of Chaos unity together

urban spire
#

warhammer novels are like

#

"what if our protagonist DIES???"

#

and then i look at the wiki

#

and there's like 6 more omnibuses and a collection of short stories

storm jungle
#

LMAO

plush mason
#

so Malcador has a tomb

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

Okay

#

but Abaddon is still important lol

#

is my point

#

and memes aside a good ammount of people actually like Abaddon

plush mason
#

the more i looked into him the more i can to be impressed and respect him

#

dude has done more in less time and with less means than the imperium ever has

storm jungle
#

Abaddon is a pretty good character and anyone that doesn't like him aka 90% of the fanbase has never read any of his book, lore or knows anything about his character

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

only reason I don't really like Abaddon is because he's an astartes supremacist and thats kinda boring lol

plush mason
#

one thing people seem to not know is that chaos is actually the underdog in most categories

arctic talon
#

mostly since he really does just overlook mortals

#

LUL

storm jungle
#

Archaon meanwhile was just a guy

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

I'm very neutral on most big named characters

#

tbh

crisp heath
#

I think they did a lot with this guy.

green loom
#

You mean Gabriel "Generic Good Guy" Angelos?

crisp heath
#

I doubt it would count as Generic good guys.

urban spire
#

shoutsout to breasting boobily

storm jungle
#

Gabriel is about as generic as you can get for a space marine character

green loom
#

Yeah he's like Titus but with slightly more dialogue

#

And also a neat monologue

crisp heath
#

TBH to understand the nuances of Gabriel you really haver to play the DoW games.

storm jungle
#

I have played all 3

#

from the weeks that they came out lol

#

Hes generic good guy space marine

plush mason
#

its perfect "madman" writing

crisp heath
#

Then mabye you need to replay it becuase GoW 1 alone has a lot more character for Gabrel then I felt about Guilliman.

storm jungle
#

No that is just you liking Angelos too much to form a bias.

#

Which is fine, just don't think Angelos is that deep of a character when so many carbon copies of him exist in the setting.

plush mason
#

ngl i would buy an audio book if Wes narrated

green loom
#

Angelos is kinda haunted by Cyrene and is sad that Isador betrays him

plush mason
#

he was the dude that killed Cyrene

#

and i still dont understand why

green loom
#

In DoW 2 he only exists to yell at you about Kyras because he can't be wrong, and then comes in randomly at the end

#

In 3

#

Actually I don't know

plush mason
#

there is no 3

urban spire
#

so with regards to the deep warp, i have only this to say

crisp heath
# green loom Angelos is kinda haunted by Cyrene and is sad that Isador betrays him

Exactly it clearly haunt him and he kind of was distrustful of the inquisitors Also I think DoW 3 involved the pursuit of the demon who he freed in DoW 1 in Gabrels eyes that demon was the physical manfestation of not only what happened to Tartarus but also Cyrine .....his failure and the evil that infested in his home planet he gave a form he could fight in the presence of that demon later on that very demon possessed his chapter master forcing Gabrel to once again destroy those who he called his brothers for the good of the Imperium but it is clear he went to that final battle expecting to die ....and he survived even though he was badly wounded he took up the mantle of chapter master not because he wanted or desrved it but as a way to atone for his past faluires. Outlawrdly he is seen as a paragon to what a space marine should be but inwardly Gabreil himself sees just one failure after another.

green loom
#

Uh

#

The daemon he popped on Tartarus was just like

#

Imprisoned on Tartarus lol

plush mason
green loom
#

I don't think it had anything to do with Cyrene

crisp heath
urban spire
#

i am so unhappy about DoW3

crisp heath
urban spire
#

remaking?

#

well that's

#

okay

#

don't know how necessary that is

green loom
crisp heath
urban spire
#

oh a remaster? that might be cool

#

they better patch the everloving fucking out of the balance though

crisp heath
urban spire
#

the worst outcome imo is if they remake dow1 in the style of dow2

#

don't get me wrong, dow2 is a good game, but i LOVE dow1

green loom
#

DoW2 is a good game, but it's it's own game

#

If that makes sense

crisp heath
#

Yea I mean I think a company of heroes game basied in the 40K universe would be greatr but dont call it DoW.

green loom
#

It's literally just dawn of war lol

#

Dawn of War 2 literally shares half the mechanics and almost all the effects

crisp heath
#

DoW2 was more based on controling a small squad rather than a full army.

storm jungle
#

Yeah DoW1 and DoW2 are both loved by the seperate halves of the community for their own reasons.

DoW3 is where both those bands of fans agree to shit on the game

green loom
#

All they'd need to do

crisp heath
green loom
#

Actually

#

They don't need to do anything, just add base building to 2

#

And you've got 40k Company of Heroes

urban spire
#

i wish it was easier to tell if someone was a furry or if they just have a rantsona

green loom
#

Because it's the same company and the same engine KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

also yeah what Ed said

celest dome
#

What the f is a rantsona

green loom
#

Like

#

DoW2 cover system?

#

Straight from company of heroes

#

DoW2 buildings?

#

Straight from company of heroes

urban spire
#

a rantsona is when some wordy youtuber has an onscreen avatar of some kind

green loom
#

Most non-plasma/magic effects?

#

Straight from company of heroes

#

Heavy weapons mechanics?
Company of Heroes
Vehicle combat?
You guessed it, company of heroes

urban spire
#

no

green loom
#

Nah rantsonas predate Vtubers

#

They're like

#

A less evolved version of then

#

And typically used by weird racists/pedophiles for some reason

#

It's just maybe 4+ PNGs that they'll shift through to show certain moods

crisp heath
#

I mean I do like the abiluty to upgrade my heores and chose their abilites and the cloest I played to Company of Heores was Iron Harvest.

urban spire
#

iron harvest is so fucking cool

crisp heath
#

Though I do love how Dawn of War had more expanive buiolding options than Iron Harvest.

urban spire
#

DoW1 was a more traditional RTS

crisp heath
urban spire
#

yeah no like i said, i love it

#

i like it better than DoW2

crisp heath
#

Actually if we wanted to combine DoW1 with something like the hero upgrading system from DoW2.

urban spire
#

that'd be neat

arctic talon
#

DoW3 should be forgotten

#

shame about the trailer lol

#

best part of the game

crisp heath
#

For example I could give my Space marine commaber a Power sword that does very well against large quanities of units A chain sword which is better against vehicels and buildings or a power first that is better agianst smaller groups of more powerful units.

plush mason
#

so there is or was an ordo whoms' sole task was to pervent and destroy time anomolies

#

star trek temporal agents but 40k lol

storm jungle
#

Ordo Chronos i think

#

funnnily enough their first lore entry was that every member of the ordo disappeared in some time anamoly

urban spire
#

good

arctic talon
#

They're back btw

storm jungle
#

then once the Great Rift opened up they got new lore where now they re back

arctic talon
#

now fighting over the calander

urban spire
#

boo

#

time cops is lame

#

let time do crime

crisp heath
plush mason
#

or well at about a small story relatied to it

green loom
#

I hate the alt heresies

crisp heath
normal light
plush mason
normal light
#

Oh just

#

like another version

#

of Heresy

#

okay

plush mason
#

wtf is this

green loom
#

I feel like ol Wes is having a nice dig through the Dark Heresy books

urban spire
#

did he discover space hulks?

viral halo
#

Im gonna shave weshammer's head

plush mason
#

this is from the rogue trader rpg book

green loom
#

It's true I also hate his hair

urban spire
#

i tried to run a rogue trader game a couple months ago and it did not go

plush mason
#

basically some dark force calling millions of dead ships and even the shards of dead worlds into a vast flotila to no where

green loom
#

If it's from an RPG book 99% of it is made to just be like

plush mason
#

the processional of the damned

green loom
#

Adventure hooks that the DM bullshits their way through

plush mason
#

yeah thats is exactly what it sounds like

green loom
#

I like it

plush mason
#

a vast fleet of death full of nightmares and treasure beyond imagining

#

perfect for a rogue trader an their crew to go explore and most likely get TPKed

#

ohhh i wonder if owlcat will include it in their rogue trader game

#

would be perfect for a dlc

#

go there, explore the derelicts, find some great loot, gtfo before what ever is in there adds you to it's collection

green loom
#

They might

#

Most likely if they do something like Wrath

#

Where it's literally just a tabletop campaign ported into a CRPG

plush mason
#

from the beta i have played that seems to be the case

#

tho not any specific campaign setting afaik

storm jungle
#

yeah you are in the Calixis sector which is where the RPG takes place

#

so expect some winks

indigo fjord
#

Random question, why do Sororitas have white hair?

#

Everytime I read it in a book no one ever questions it or anything.

celest dome
#

Only 1 Order has white hair

indigo fjord
#

The one of the martyred lady?

storm jungle
celest dome
#

But art and miniature often depict them as such cause it's iconic

green loom
storm jungle
#

who died martyr in a random battle before the Sororitas became a huge order, so the Martyred Lady changed their name to that and adorned it in her style to honor her

green loom
#

They're in Calixis right?

storm jungle
#

Yep

#

in a sub-sector

indigo fjord
#

I have noticed that Martyred Lady is pretty much the only one we actually see

#

It's like they've forgotten the other orders exist.

storm jungle
#

yeah because they are poster boys

#

all factions have one

verbal path
#

They're the poster girls of the SoB.

green loom
#

Sisters as a faction are pretty one-note though

#

They're just

indigo fjord
#

Emperor-Botheres?

green loom
#

Slightly varied flavours of "What the fuck?" fanatics

indigo fjord
#

Botherers*

green loom
#

Like the Order of the Wounded Heart

storm jungle
#

Guard is Cadians, Sisters is Martyred Lady, Necrons is Sautekh, Tau are Vior'la, etc

green loom
#

Who practice ritual degloving smarf

indigo fjord
#

Cadian or Krieg

storm jungle
#

Cadian lol

#

Krieg are not posterboys

celest dome
#

Mars for Admech

green loom
#

God I still can't get over the wounded heart

verbal path
indigo fjord
#

Then space marines is ultramarine or w/e they're called

plush mason
indigo fjord
#

I hate em

plush mason
#

or was it sacred rose

green loom
#

I think it's sacred

#

Bloody are red

plush mason
#

yeah

#

sacred rose

#

the ones in DOW soulstorm

green loom
#

I kinda want to keep painting ultras ngl

crisp heath
#

So the emperor is supposedly insanely charismatic yeah?

green loom
#

Saves me moners on paint

green loom
plush mason
#

man these horror books are great

indigo fjord
#

Wasn't there a moment when the god-emperor went to do something and the demons in the warp all collectively shat their pants?

crisp heath
#

I’m wondering if he could convince a random this year dude that everything he did had to happen

verbal path
green loom
#

Prolly not cus most of it didn't need to happen

#

lel

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

That’s what I’m wondering if it’s like some magical aura that makes people agree with what he says

storm jungle
#

Nah

plush mason
storm jungle
#

its just looking like a literal messiah

crisp heath
#

Ah

green loom
#

And being able to

#

Very consistently

#

Blow people up by looking at them

storm jungle
#

when you look like that most weak-minded people (aka most of the population) will drop to a knee and bow

green loom
#

See; Henry Cavill

#

lol

verbal path
#

Just Jedi mind trick to the extreme

crisp heath
#

Fulgrim is a master of vocal manipulation

#

I’d assume the emperor would be the grandmaster

plush mason
verbal path
#

I'm sure someone would believe +10 ft tall in golden armor, magic and a flaming sword at his word.

indigo fjord
#

I'm still waiting for news of the 40k series Henry Cavill is supposedly interested in making

#

TV*

#

Or was it a movie? I forgot.

crisp heath
#

I feel like if we ask him every single question we had about his actions he would be able to talk through every one and make us think he did the right thing

celest dome
#

tv

crisp heath
#

If he is really that guy

green loom
#

He isn't

storm jungle
#

thats basically what a tyrant is yep

green loom
#

That's like half the point lel

#

"Well you see I got fragmented visions on how I could do this thing, so I committed galaxy wide genocide in a brutal conquest to unite humanity"

verbal path
#

I mean, he couldn't convince that one priest

crisp heath
#

And we’d believe him is the scary part

storm jungle
#

yeah because Uriah was smart

#

"Im not like those tyrants"

#

"how"

#

"because I know im right"

#

"THATS LITERALLY WHAT IM FUCKING SAYING YOU ARENT"

#

Last Church in a nutshell

verbal path
#

The best part was the Emperor had converted him at the end.

celest dome
#

The other Perpetuals who later left Emperor does show that it was a failure

storm jungle
#

he still denied him and wanted to die with his church

celest dome
plush mason
verbal path
#

He was set to follow him until Big E decided to torch the church

storm jungle
#

He was denying him even before that

#

the irony was that the god Uriah thought WAS the Emperor

#

he still denied him and said he would not join him

verbal path
#

Only after he saw the Thunder Warriors start burning it down.

dusty comet
#

so me and another guy in another server are trying to explain 40k lore in its entirety to someone new to it

#

and the last 3 hours were spent explaining the start, the DAOT, the Age of Strife, the great crusade, and the horus heresy

verbal path
# celest dome How did you even get this take

They were walking down out of the church having accepted the Emperor until he saw the Thunder Warriors start to torch the place and made him realize the Emperor was just another tyrant.

green loom
#

You know next time if someone starts explaining 40k lore to someone by starting with anything pre M40 I'm going to give them the Cadian special

verbal path
#

Give them the ol' Kasrkin double tap.

storm jungle
#

those events can be explained in like at least 20 to 30 minutes lmao

#

3 fucking hours is a bit 💀

verbal path
#

Why would you start with the DAoT???? THERES LIKE NO LORE FOR IT

dusty comet
dusty comet
#

if anything we literally just said, "basically optimistic generic sci-fi timeline here"

#

mentioned the men of iron stcs, and move right on to age of strife

storm jungle
#

I wouldn't really call DAOT "optimistic" but its close enough i guess

verbal path
#

Its optimistic compared to now bceTired3Dead4

#

Instead of improving guns normally, we have Hadron.

dusty comet
#

most of the time was me trying to skim through the horus heresy

storm jungle
#

Theres a lot of shit you can skip there yeah

dusty comet
#

like typing out the main events

storm jungle
dusty comet
#

i handed off things after explaining where each of the primarchs were after the heresy because theres no way in hell i can remember everything that happens up to the fall of cadia

#

bar stuff like krieg, the war for armageddon, badab, vraks, so on and so forth

green loom
#

Nothing really significant happens beyond like

#

Some isolated storylines

#

The Tyranid invasion of Ultramar

#

Damocles Crusade

#

Gothic War

#

And then just the 13th Black Crusade

dusty comet
#

eh

#

i guess

#

we're going back into each of those events later

verbal path
#

Those are the ones that really advanced the plot.

dusty comet
#

thats why i told him to ping me back when he got to Cadia

green loom
#

It's not that monolithic it's just a chore to dig out the plot from the slop

dusty comet
#

christ someone could literally write a whole ass CYOA literal tome with the amount of 40k lore out there

green loom
#

More than likely

dusty comet
#

i just heard my favorite name for the golden throne

#

The God Couch

green loom
#

I mean bruh the Heresy(not counting the Siege) has like 50 something books, and 40 of them are mostly irrelevant filler/background dressing

verbal path
dusty comet
#

hes 1v4 ing the chaos gods and hes tying

#

get fucked shitters

storm jungle
#

Pretty much the most "major" events from top (old) to bottom (new)

dusty comet
#

basically supremely rendering it down so that we're not spending hours on the timeline alone

storm jungle
#

Pretty much

#

and even most events on this timeline arent that important

#

like for example the Abyssal Crusade can be explained in like 2-3 minutes KEKW_ogryn

dusty comet
#

most to my knowledge like the shadow and thramal crusade are just for fucking with loyalists

green loom
#

Yeah these guys went in and got rizzed up by the unfathomable mass of murder energy so now they're slightly more evil than before

dusty comet
#

im looking at you night lords

green loom
#

Shadow crusade is mostly word bearers/world eaters getting the jump on Ultras and then getting supremely gimped by the BA/DA/Ultras

#

Thramas is the Night Lords being continuously butchered until Curze runs the hell away

dusty comet
#

chaos didnt have to do anything to them, like very little if anything about them changed which is funny if not for the fact of how fucked they are that the chaos gods took one look and said "I see nothing wrong with this"

storm jungle
#

Nah theres a few that got entirely corrupted

#

it had a lot to do with it

dusty comet
#

Calth and nuceria was probably my favorite events

green loom
dusty comet
#

OH FUCK

storm jungle
#

oh I thought we were talking about the abyssal crusades whoops

dusty comet
#

i forgot to mention Rylanor

storm jungle
#

I mean

normal light
#

My favourite events Fall of Cadia , Seige of Vraks 💀Chaos

storm jungle
#

Rylanor serves no purpose

#

at all

#

people just kinda overhype him

green loom
#

"violent butcher" turns into "violent butcher but glowy"

dusty comet
#

yeah but hes cool tho

storm jungle
#

I mean i guess?

dusty comet
#

fair

storm jungle
dusty comet
#

is this one of those things where its "If you forgot it, it probably wasnt that important anyway"?

green loom
#

The kicker about Rylanor is that he fails and no one will ever know about him except Fulgrim

verbal path
storm jungle
#

He died.

#

⚰️

dusty comet
#

he smoked himself wile basically bitchslapping fulgrim with a virus bomb

storm jungle
verbal path
dusty comet
#

whomst?

storm jungle
#

Uhh Stringstorm i think

green loom
#

Ya

storm jungle
#

he makes A LOT of 40k songs

dusty comet
#

bruh

storm jungle
#

especially for other 40k content creators

green loom
#

Mostly bad ones

storm jungle
#

yeah uhhh it was a bit out of nowhere

dusty comet
#

like who? the one named after an architectual element?

storm jungle
#

Nah I meant like most 40k youtubers, stuff like TTS and Alfabusa especially.

green loom
#

Oh I meant bad songs

#

It's like

#

generic beat

#

vaguely rhyming lyrics

#

sound effects match vocals

#

That's the song

storm jungle
#

but anyway yeah that aside Rylanor is fine, theres a lot of good loyalist elements out there with matching badass moments like that

green wedge
#

That song did do alot to boost Rylanor

#

but try the short story

#

its also great just saying

#

so much cool lore is only told to most people through memes

green loom
#

"cool lore" that's straight false more often than not

storm jungle
#

that too

green wedge
#

The fuck are you doing here then? lol

storm jungle
#

I mean theres no meme lore here

#

💀

verbal path
#

Outdated memes is the lifeblood of 40k.

green loom
#

I like to call it the Eternal Telephone Game

storm jungle
#

accurate

dusty comet
#

me seeing the 40kth shovel meme in a row

storm jungle
#

the shovel meme is out of its renaissance age at this point, where before nobody ever said anything about it

green loom
#

You can like trace a string of YouTubers who got popular off the exact same meme back like 10 years or so lol

storm jungle
#

now theres a lot of people that just hate it which is new to me as an old fan KEKW_ogryn

dusty comet
#

what about majorkill?

storm jungle
#

Hes alright

#

I got like 5 aussie friends that hate him though so

green loom
#

A macho dickweed but inoffensive otherwise

verbal path
#

Know an old meme that should die already? ||Matt Ward hate||

dusty comet
#

i think hes done a good job of coming up with content without him being super lazy about it

storm jungle
#

Yeah i just kinda dislike him when hes like

HERES A VIDEO OF WHY IM BETTER THAN OTHER 40K YOUTUBERS

dusty comet
#

honeslty i genuinely believe its only continued by people who just didnt like how much he propped up the ultramarines

storm jungle
dusty comet
#

because his other stuff is great

green loom
storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

apt comparison ngl 💀

green loom
#

Yeah it's pretty much one to one lol

verbal path
storm jungle
#

adios krieger

dusty comet
#

honestly the way that the ultramarines were presented are probably why it hurts as much as it does to watch them get slaughtered in new content

plush mason
green loom
#

It probably wasn't the ultramarine thing that got him hate

#

It was probably his rules KEKW_ogryn

dusty comet
#

stuff like the sergeant from pariah nexas get killed, or the homeys getting wasted by tyrannids,
nice job leaving the fucking apothecary unguarded fellas, bravo

storm jungle
#

^

#

its both the rules and the lore

green loom
#

From what I've heard from old heads

storm jungle
#

mid 2000's 40k fans were the epitome of chuds

green loom
#

Ward armies were great to throw against each other

dusty comet
#

i know people absolutely hated 9th edition with the tau

green loom
#

But you fight them with anything else? Adios

dusty comet
#

like outright refuse to play
