Update the amongus storyline
Everyone’s dynamic with the PC is hilarious
It's just aliens trying to kill of a crew it's not that special
Lol
3rd generation True Hybrids basically can pass as human
They still are bald
And have the forehead ridge
bra, wigs
Forehead ridge
And sharp teeth
We see his forehead
its a future wig
Steal my genes please steal my genes

I leave for five seconds
💀
All roads lead to shitposting
And come back to this , grab your slugga , we need to purge this channel
It’s not a discussion about 40k lore if it’s not at least a little shitposty
I ain't wasting my bullet on the runts here
You do it
Okay
ordo xenos records describe that process as...
Tyrranid implantation as one of the most horrifying and painful processes ever conceivable.
Please face the wall
Also all your superiors being unpleasant towards the player character makes sense
Mostly since you’re just another body
At least when you become an official acolyte they’re not as unpleasant
Which isn’t saying much, but, you know
Lol
Another number in a log 
Hadron Ironically is kind of nice when she’s working on your equipment
When she’s prolly the most rude
Out of all the handlers lol
Yeah but you leave a scratch on that thing, you better pray to god you are far enough away that the emperor can hear you
Also I remember having to do a double take when Hadron apologized when she had a sudden outburst
It’s so unlike her to apologize 💀
Mechanicus very rarely show emotions
hadron is the best, my ogryn got a crush on her. He likes anything that makes his clobbers and shooties more clobbery, and more shooty
Mostly they are professionals
“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
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”
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.
Tech priests are nerds
Lol what’s new
In the mechanicus books, sometimes it literally felt like a nerd culture message board, when the techpriest argue.
Yeah that is true
I guess i should have worded it more properly
naw, its fair, the popular perception from those outside the cult mechanicus is they are emotionless machines.
Dark Eldar and Slaanesh are up for the challenge
No
no
no
no
And another no
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.
Sorry, but this a emperor approved chat group
Say the Tau simp
Speed dialing Emps right now to verify
Big E confirmed that he is a feminist this is so cool
Melk is apparently giving out corpse starch bars as “treats”
The loner has eaten one and found a body piercing inside
now that would make a tech priest in charge of the industrial grinders upset, they grind up 99.8% of all material, and that is statistically in error.
Probably has a extra shipment in the back, and has to get rid of em
The corpse grinder guild really isn't what it used to be
I mean, better question, why not give them to ogryn as rock alternative amunition
Perfectly good food
ogryn would eat them
Cause he want us to do his bidding, so he reward us so that we do what he wan
i would shoot anyone on the ship for him if he bribed me with copius amounts of plasteel
It's not trying if it work
This, literally this. I swear I gonna have to join plasteel addiction support groups, the plasteel drip feed is so brutal.
least sociopathic GTA protagonist
That's the goal, you eat it and gain special tougness
also probably more of a threat. the corpse starch is probably the last squad that failed his contracts
The loner says to not take any treats from melk lol
💀
💀
How the fuck did melk get their bodies
2 out of 15 isn't bad
More likely those corpse starch bars are lanced with combat drugs
Lol fair enough
The loner makes a lot of jokes about corpse starch
Tbh
i wanna say something but dont wanna give fatshark ideas
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
Does melkcoin have a name
I don't remember, I've always called them Melk Bucks
Melk's Monopoly Money
Lol
Slaaneshs the most fun one, shes the weakest, but the most entertaining to talk about
What do you get if you finished your service in Astra Militarum, and how long is the average service duration?
Depend on your regiment
There is no "service" in the Guard, you will be deployed from warzone to warzone to warzone until you die.
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
You either become a noble bodyguard, hired gun, join law enforcement, or if ya are just done with fighting, menial work. If crippled - corspe-starch the imperium has no use for those who can't work.
A lot of the listed ones at the first row are also not that feasible
that would require you to basically "desert"
Literally untrue, there is an age after which you can muster out
There are lore books with a ton of ex guardsmen
And almost nobody survives to that age
A lot of em ends up as noble bodyguards
Yeah because they are the lucky ones amongst billions 
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
So? That's not what you said in that message
Basically yeah
Like
Don't some regiment become settlers for new worlds if their campaign was succesful ?
"basically impossible"
I did say it lol
whats the fuction of a hired gun exactly?
but its not, its basically unlikely
Yeah but after that you are still getting called back when theres a war
Not in what I replied to + you don't have to be "high ranking"
but guardsmen can and do retire out of service
Again, rarely
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
And at that point
do remember at the scale of the imperial guard, thats still many billions of retired guardsmen across the galaxy
You're in deep enough to where that is your job
Thats not the case at all.
a lot of "retired" guardsman tend to be deserters
I also wouldn't call them "retired"
the guard just doesnt let you go
And thats why so many turn to chaos
Unless you get a lucky break
They absolutely will and do. Their are entire regiments that have been awarded colonies for service.
The closest you'll get to a retirement as said above is being given a settlement world which is basically what that is
That's not really the same thing
You will still get called to service
the Imperium does not care about anything close to "retirement" for its populace
You can get settlement rights
^
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"
Pretty much
And getting a cushy posting
As in the menial work?
Military pencil-pusher/training work
That doesn't sound too bad (by Imperium standards)
before you will basically be picked up again to act as on-site officers for the new regiment
in another shithole warzone
Or the planet is attacked and you're left as senior leadership
or that yes lol
Even if you're disabled they'll still find ways to put you to work lmao
this man gets it
ig thats kinda like equity in a very macabre way 💀
lady uwu
Yeah the Imperium is not suppose to be a "good" place to serve or find a way out of not dying
The Schola always needs instructors, Garrisons need commanders, nobles need attaches
I wonder how corpse startch tastes like
The best MRE you've ever had
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.
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
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 
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
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.
I've dug up some examples
As expected it varies
typical
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
I think a part of the problem is the over representation of Cadian and Krieg. Their is no retirement there for sure.
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
I should mention the retired guardsmen are incredibly paranoid and go about killing people they declare "heretics", and are then put down
Cut throat refrence
In Ciaphas Cain regiments sometimes get rotated to their homeworlds to recoup losses
Every regiment would rotate , there is no way to constantly keep it on the front line
Considering their casualty rates no 
Yes , you casual rend down whole regiment
yeah rest and refit
Lets not forget their are cushier roles in the guard as well, like artillery companies.
Counter-battery fire
oh of course they die in droves too
Lots of flying things
Ciaphas Cain thought the same 
when regiments get severely depleted, they're usually merged
Like yeah you are 5 km behing the front line
but you tend to try and keep the ork horde from impacting your artillery companies directly, and have aa bateries
But a breakthrough or flyers can quickly bridge that gap
YES
Like drop pods
Or someone forgot to send a message saying the 12th Drempian Bibledumbers got overrun 3 hours ago on your flank, and the enemy are rushing in behind you
or maybe nids from sky or underground
Now for sure, an artillery company vs SM, dark-normal eldar, tyranids or heretic artillery, it gonna suck royal
Ya are the primo target for the sneaky attacks.
From what I understand, that is only the most desperate move, guard commanders loves their artillery more then anything
Sometimes it's not really a choice
And if guard fight anything it's desperate hellwars
OH NO WE DEPLETED OUR AMMUNTION STOCKS , Time for you to go IN TRENCHES
when the guard runs out of artillery, they are basically doomed anyway.
It also works with every type of regiment
I think it`s a common thing
How can you exactly turn a las gun into a krak grenade?
because of how much they have it
The imperial logistics typically don't faulter, unless a regiment is cut off, or void superiorty is lost.
You can apparently overcharge the ammo pack for it and turn it into a volatile grenade
It WOULD faulter , because the more you mass artillery more damage you make
large amounts of artys logicaly consume more shells
Oh, cause i was thinking on the not having ammo thing, but if you need to charge a pack, then its useless
How do lasgun chargers work then?
there giant batteries?
It`s a mystery how Munistorum can supply such regiments
Las is more

basically you can charge lasgun pack in campfire
if you are lucky enough
Many many many examples of gaurd sieges going on for years, and literal mountains of spent shells piling nearby. The mechanicus don't falter with logistics typically
When they can help it
we just get to see the ones that live to tell the tale. which are usually the ones who get their supplies on time
Tickle the necron warrior
Like there can be situations where Guard Regiment shot of their ammo supply before they got new one
What's step 3 ?
I have to many skulls at home, postal service doesn't reach the plains of blood
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
I’d assume it fucks with the connector
Somehow
Maybe it doesn’t like getting exposed to an open fire
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
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.
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
Lol
in lore a lasgun can kill a space marine with careful aim or volume of fire
Or a high powered, precise shot
On the tabletop it’s like
since ceramite doesn't deflect laser fire it'll absorb the heat
space marines are all hot shit until someone brings out the autocannon
enough spam, and lucky roles can bring anything down in TT. Its just funny.
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
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.
Bolters lore wise are decently good at killing marines
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
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
i think it's fairly appropriate
Those SM the bestest fanboy books
Even hotshots have -1 ap
Plasma is a mystery to me because it not so relaible
I think 5
now
But hotshots used to just instakill marines lol
hot shots in only war, with lascannon for scale
10/10
7 Pen
that's 1d10+4 damage with 7 pen yeah
Em , like everything has 1d10+4 damage
also hotshot would be strong
Hotshots prolly have been nerfed the most between like editions lol
bolters
I have feeling that everything got
EXCEPT FREAKING ELVES
Wdym how
of course bolters can fire kraken penetrators, which brings them to
7 pen
maybe space marines should just use hotshot volley guns
You are talking about TTS?
you mean how did GW think AP2 hotshot was a good idea?
Im talking about the actual tabletop game
Lol
Older editions
Because like now they have -1
Yeah
Im talking about pre 8e
AP2 instakilled anything
Lol
No saves allowed aside from invulns
Yeah
and their counter parts in other factions
And Knights
GSC is just one big meme about GRENADES AND MINES
Especially with knew mortal wounds mechanic
But bolters are surprisingly bad at killing marines
Then again
Marines are normally not killing other marines
I thought they whole big deal about bolters was what they did to unarmoured targets?
Crap
IN TTS THEY DON`T
True
Tabletop is pretty lore inaccurate so the game is actually fun
traitor marines
Again they don’t fight them that often
It’s usually Orks
Really really violent and big orks
Or cultists
ok but statistically most fights in the galaxy involve orks so that feels unfair
"Innocence proves nothing" goes so hard
Okay true
This society fucking sucks I love it
But bolters can kill marines somewhat well
In like
Most sane depictions of marine power level
its usually like joint shots right?
Joint shots or sustained fire
Either kills a marine
And regarding marines using hotshot volley guns
Yes they should use them
Crap I still have flashbacks from Black Templars Primaris Crusader squad
That is something I noticed, cermamite armor is pretty brittle, and taking a bunch of hits will degrade it into broken chunks pretty quick.
95 Chainsword attacks 
ok that's another funky thing
chainswords have ceramite teeth
how do they fight ceramite armour with those?
The meme is that
BT Chainswords somehow deal 1 more attack
Than other marine chainswords
I thought chainswords were adamantine or some other mythical metal?
let's ask lexicanum
Chainswords were mainly against orks
I know the chainsword lore is inconsitent at best.
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
Chainswords just sound super inconvenient if you can’t rev it up
!Chainswords cutting into baneblades like they made of wood
Eldar chainswords are also made out of
It’s because they’re combined with a pistol rather than just having it with a bolter. THE ONE THE REGULAR SERGEANT HAS DOESNT COUNT DONT QUESTION IT
ok new question: why don't they make space marine armour out of adamantium?
eats people and armor alive
Too Expensive
For the scale required
Too heavy
Also yeah it’s heavy
Proably its too difficult to manufacture given its properites
or no STC
Nah
answer: they do in terminator armour
Too thicc
Also it might not even be practical at that width, fantasy materials and all
Also very expensive
Most chapters don’t own more then like
30 suits lol
Some straight up don’t have any
I know one thing, the imperium is the embodement of favoring cheap mass manufactured goods, even for the elite troops.
Economics of scale
Marine chapters typically have lots of higher end gear
The Marines just have to earn it a lot of the time lol
idk, the guard fields a lot of precious materiel
Lamenters with literally 8 suits of terminator armor
plasma guns for one

making little teeth on a chainsaw would be fairly easy to mass produce, making articulating suits of powered armor, very expensive.
The average lamenter army a player owns has more terminators then the chapter does
imo space marines should have their own versions of sisters repentia
a goofy example is the deathwing, so many deathwings be getting clapped, you wonder just how many suits they have
naked marines with eviscerators would be dope
First founding privilege moment
No it`s not
First and second founding have privileges
The 1000 marine thing was always dumb
BT just has more melee attacks
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
true dat, even GW is calling it dumb
Still stupid
on one hand good, on the other, ugh more space marines
Just slightly less dumb
Tbh it was always practically more then 1k
The main thing is now we can have stories of SM chapters taking major losses and not just be wiped out.
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
So is there deep layer to the warp?
i think we should have more stories where SM chapters take major losses and ARE wiped out
Like how the ocean has with depths
Yeah it goes deeper
Sweet, seems like a fun place to explore
Like the ocean
The chaos gods don’t go into those parts

Cowards
Well tzeentch messed around with it once
keep in mind that the warp isn't a dimension of space or a physical location
Also that
it's not like a 4th dimension type deal
It's basically hell, and it has a second layer
They’ll never tell
it's like your spaceship fell asleep and is having a nightmare
Hell looking back at the heresy
The DA had the single largest amount of dreadnoughts and terminator armor
First legion privilege
It’s a holdover from the old rules, the new rules just show a higher number
Mhm
good clean burnin first legion propane
Best legion
DA- best legion, unashamed.
DA probably got some propane on em. If they had a “Cold War” era nuke anything is possible
oh gross googling "hank hill space marine" results in SO MANY shitty AI generated pictures
Yeah that seems about right
but they are so skilled at typing a request, while the image blender filled with stolen images does all the work
If I can write a marine who huffs promethium I’m sure a hank hill marine is out there bringing Arlen justice to the xenos and heretics alike.
I’m bored out of my skull waiting for my medicine. Does anyone have any funny stories of Darktide? :/
a russian man called me a homophobic slur for not having enough damage done at the end of a game
I posted this in the wrong chat, whoopsies!
well you got my funny darktide story anyway
I am getting tired of people obsessions over contextless stats. You can easly have the most damage, do something very dumb, and throw the game. Just as somebody guarding the rear of the party will have low damage, but clutch the game.
You can have most damage done by just smacking a poxwalker horde
Meanwhile the playerbase

normal players, oh this build is doing better in damage, huzzah. Your typical LoL player, these numbers mean everything, watch me carry... splits and gets pinned by dog.
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
I do love how the scoreboard added by mods displays every useless stat/action like a mathboard lol
like what the actual fuck am i looking at

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

but most people are just like MORE STATS GOODERER and enable everything
Its also a mod, and I have def seen it really seem to do bizarro things.
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
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
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.
They should make this canon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq3b1lenNBg

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.
Ngl I miss the green circles
They were fun to see lol

I cleaned it for you.
It's literally just how much damage did I take and what is my build good at clearing
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.
Thats a very bad idea to just get all the chaos fanboys to hate it though 💀
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.
They have said none of those endings will be canon
because it changes the setting too much fundamentally

It's finally spooky season my friends and you know what that means, it's a perfect opportunity to part 4 of our continueing look into the grim dark mysteries of Warhammer 40k's Lore.
Mysteries covered in Part 4. The Xenos species known as the Umbra. The myster...
They need to know exactly what to flame you for
ok "deep warp" sounds neat
Yeah it relates to shit like the Well of Eternity that Tzeentch toyed with
yeah
Wonder if the Harrowing have anything to do with it
If they wanted to do that then they should have chose the Imperium ending nothing really changes except Abbadon is dead.
Abbadon being dead is a big change
tbf
He is literally the glue holding together any semblance of Chaos unity together
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
LMAO
so Malcador has a tomb
There are so much better chaos space marines who are more interesting story wise What about Angron.
Okay
but Abaddon is still important lol
is my point
and memes aside a good ammount of people actually like Abaddon
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
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
Angron is literally a braindead moron who has no character ever since he became a daemon prince, so now hes just Angry Demon Man

only reason I don't really like Abaddon is because he's an astartes supremacist and thats kinda boring lol
one thing people seem to not know is that chaos is actually the underdog in most categories
Well then again I never liked Gullliman and Abbadon is just evil Guilliman.
I think they did a lot with this guy.
You mean Gabriel "Generic Good Guy" Angelos?
I doubt it would count as Generic good guys.
shoutsout to breasting boobily
Gabriel is about as generic as you can get for a space marine character
TBH to understand the nuances of Gabriel you really haver to play the DoW games.
I have played all 3
from the weeks that they came out lol
Hes generic good guy space marine
yeah i loved that part
its perfect "madman" writing
Then mabye you need to replay it becuase GoW 1 alone has a lot more character for Gabrel then I felt about Guilliman.
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.

ngl i would buy an audio book if Wes narrated
Angelos is kinda haunted by Cyrene and is sad that Isador betrays him
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

there is no 3
so with regards to the deep warp, i have only this to say
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.
yeah i know. if the warp has always been there then there are things in it older than even the oldest stars
I don't think it had anything to do with Cyrene
I am not saying it did I am saying that Gabrel used the daemon as a way to pshcyailly manafest his failure for what happend to Cyrine.
i am so unhappy about DoW3
Then rejoice I heard they may be RMing the DoW games.
That's wishful thinking at best lol
What I mean is they are bascially going to give us classic DOW but with some updated mechanics and a fresh coat of paint.
oh a remaster? that might be cool
they better patch the everloving fucking out of the balance though
They may even do what crash bandticoot did which is remaster the DoW1 and its x packs then make DoW 2 and 3 fresh.
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
Yea I mean I think a company of heroes game basied in the 40K universe would be greatr but dont call it DoW.
It's literally just dawn of war lol
Dawn of War 2 literally shares half the mechanics and almost all the effects
DoW2 was more based on controling a small squad rather than a full army.
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
All they'd need to do
That is ironics because the reason it failed was it tired to be both DoW1 and DoW 2.
Actually
They don't need to do anything, just add base building to 2
And you've got 40k Company of Heroes
i wish it was easier to tell if someone was a furry or if they just have a rantsona
Because it's the same company and the same engine 
because DoW2 was drastic but still a pretty good game
also yeah what Ed said

What the f is a rantsona
Like
DoW2 cover system?
Straight from company of heroes
DoW2 buildings?
Straight from company of heroes
a rantsona is when some wordy youtuber has an onscreen avatar of some kind
Most non-plasma/magic effects?
Straight from company of heroes
Heavy weapons mechanics?
Company of Heroes
Vehicle combat?
You guessed it, company of heroes
Like those Vtuber ?
no
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
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.
iron harvest is so fucking cool
Though I do love how Dawn of War had more expanive buiolding options than Iron Harvest.
DoW1 was a more traditional RTS
TBH nothing wrong with that.
Actually if we wanted to combine DoW1 with something like the hero upgrading system from DoW2.
that'd be neat
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.
so there is or was an ordo whoms' sole task was to pervent and destroy time anomolies
star trek temporal agents but 40k lol
Ordo Chronos i think
funnnily enough their first lore entry was that every member of the ordo disappeared in some time anamoly
good
They're back btw
then once the Great Rift opened up they got new lore where now they re back
now fighting over the calander
I think I read about them they were invovled in the Robutte Heresy story yes>
yeah i just watched a video about that
or well at about a small story relatied to it
I hate the alt heresies
Yea the Roboutian Heresy bascially switches which space marines remained loyal and whcih turned traitor.
What are those alt heresies?

the processional of the Damned remains as one of Warhammer 40k's creepiest and most obscure mysteries. it is a vast graveyard of ships that exists out in the khornous expanse and frequently lure...
wtf is this
I feel like ol Wes is having a nice dig through the Dark Heresy books
did he discover space hulks?
Im gonna shave weshammer's head
this is from the rogue trader rpg book
It's true I also hate his hair
i tried to run a rogue trader game a couple months ago and it did not go
no this is about somekind of hellish ship graveyard
basically some dark force calling millions of dead ships and even the shards of dead worlds into a vast flotila to no where
If it's from an RPG book 99% of it is made to just be like
the processional of the damned
Adventure hooks that the DM bullshits their way through
yeah thats is exactly what it sounds like
I like it
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
They might
Most likely if they do something like Wrath
Where it's literally just a tabletop campaign ported into a CRPG
from the beta i have played that seems to be the case
tho not any specific campaign setting afaik
yeah you are in the Calixis sector which is where the RPG takes place
so expect some winks
Random question, why do Sororitas have white hair?
Everytime I read it in a book no one ever questions it or anything.
Only 1 Order has white hair
The one of the martyred lady?
Its to look like their founder Alicia Dominica
But art and miniature often depict them as such cause it's iconic
I wonder if they'll reference the Dominate
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
They're in Calixis right?
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.
They're the poster girls of the SoB.
Emperor-Botheres?
Slightly varied flavours of "What the fuck?" fanatics
Botherers*
Like the Order of the Wounded Heart
Guard is Cadians, Sisters is Martyred Lady, Necrons is Sautekh, Tau are Vior'la, etc
Who practice ritual degloving 
Cadian or Krieg
Mars for Admech
God I still can't get over the wounded heart
They are for some fans
Then space marines is ultramarine or w/e they're called
the bloody rose are just martyred lady with all white armor and black robes kek
I hate em
or was it sacred rose
I kinda want to keep painting ultras ngl
So the emperor is supposedly insanely charismatic yeah?
Saves me moners on paint
Charismatic in that "Holy fuck this guy is terrifying"

the skin man was a Warhammer 40k horror.dtory included in the anathames anthology
it is a tale of love loss and terror and gives a great view into what it's like living in the far fringes of the imperium's territory
⭐ Weshammer M...
man these horror books are great
Wasn't there a moment when the god-emperor went to do something and the demons in the warp all collectively shat their pants?
I’m wondering if he could convince a random this year dude that everything he did had to happen
Sometimes he turned the charisma up.
The Emperor was simply the guy with the biggest stick at the time, he wasnt a destined savior.
That’s what I’m wondering if it’s like some magical aura that makes people agree with what he says
Nah
the anchorite merely used his name and all daemons near him just crumbled to dust
its just looking like a literal messiah
Ah
when you look like that most weak-minded people (aka most of the population) will drop to a knee and bow
If he uses his powers? Very easily.
Just Jedi mind trick to the extreme
Very nice
Right but I mean through actual charm and charisma not just terror
Fulgrim is a master of vocal manipulation
I’d assume the emperor would be the grandmaster
got a friend that is 100% indoctrinated in the cult of Henry Cavil
I'm sure someone would believe +10 ft tall in golden armor, magic and a flaming sword at his word.
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.
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
tv
If he is really that guy
He isn't
thats basically what a tyrant is yep
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"
And we’d believe him is the scary part
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
The best part was the Emperor had converted him at the end.
The other Perpetuals who later left Emperor does show that it was a failure
Not really
he still denied him and wanted to die with his church
How did you even get this take
its such a great story lol
He was set to follow him until Big E decided to torch the church
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
Only after he saw the Thunder Warriors start burning it down.
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
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.
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
Give them the ol' Kasrkin double tap.
Yeah uh no offense
those events can be explained in like at least 20 to 30 minutes lmao
3 fucking hours is a bit 💀
Why would you start with the DAoT???? THERES LIKE NO LORE FOR IT
they specifically asked for shit in order
DAOT isnt what we spent most of that time on
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
I wouldn't really call DAOT "optimistic" but its close enough i guess
most of the time was me trying to skim through the horus heresy
Theres a lot of shit you can skip there yeah
like typing out the main events

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
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
Those are the ones that really advanced the plot.
thats why i told him to ping me back when he got to Cadia
It's not that monolithic it's just a chore to dig out the plot from the slop
christ someone could literally write a whole ass CYOA literal tome with the amount of 40k lore out there
More than likely
I mean bruh the Heresy(not counting the Siege) has like 50 something books, and 40 of them are mostly irrelevant filler/background dressing

The Gamer Chair.
If you want a good general-general list here
Pretty much the most "major" events from top (old) to bottom (new)
basically supremely rendering it down so that we're not spending hours on the timeline alone
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 
most to my knowledge like the shadow and thramal crusade are just for fucking with loyalists
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
im looking at you night lords
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
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"
Calth and nuceria was probably my favorite events
Granted it wasn't a substantial change from the status quo 
i mean the nightlords overall bar the ones you mentioned
OH FUCK
i forgot to mention Rylanor
I mean
My favourite events Fall of Cadia , Seige of Vraks 💀
"violent butcher" turns into "violent butcher but glowy"
yeah but hes cool tho
I mean i guess?
fair

is this one of those things where its "If you forgot it, it probably wasnt that important anyway"?
The kicker about Rylanor is that he fails and no one will ever know about him except Fulgrim
I'm just happy to find out whatever happened to him 
he smoked himself wile basically bitchslapping fulgrim with a virus bomb
The worst part about Rylanor is ||whenever I hear people reference the song made about him that incredibly boosted his popularity by that one youtuber I keep getting reminded that he admitted to being a pedo 💀 ||

whomst?
Ya
he makes A LOT of 40k songs
bruh
especially for other 40k content creators
Mostly bad ones
yeah uhhh it was a bit out of nowhere
like who? the one named after an architectual element?
Oh I meant bad songs
It's like
generic beat
vaguely rhyming lyrics
sound effects match vocals
That's the song
but anyway yeah that aside Rylanor is fine, theres a lot of good loyalist elements out there with matching badass moments like that

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
"cool lore" that's straight false more often than not
that too
The fuck are you doing here then? lol
Outdated memes is the lifeblood of 40k.
I like to call it the Eternal Telephone Game
accurate
me seeing the 40kth shovel meme in a row
the shovel meme is out of its renaissance age at this point, where before nobody ever said anything about it
You can like trace a string of YouTubers who got popular off the exact same meme back like 10 years or so lol
now theres a lot of people that just hate it which is new to me as an old fan 
what about majorkill?
A macho dickweed but inoffensive otherwise
Know an old meme that should die already? ||Matt Ward hate||
i think hes done a good job of coming up with content without him being super lazy about it
Yeah i just kinda dislike him when hes like
HERES A VIDEO OF WHY IM BETTER THAN OTHER 40K YOUTUBERS
honeslty i genuinely believe its only continued by people who just didnt like how much he propped up the ultramarines
Ward is still getting hatemail to this day due to a decision that was entirely made by GW to make him write garbage which is sad
because his other stuff is great
Ah yes, the 40k version of WW2 Tiger Fever
Yeah it's pretty much one to one lol
40k players carry longer grudges than dwarfs.
also before I forget
adios krieger
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
the anchorite casually deleting the word bearer's daemon army and telling the ecclisiarch they are all fools following in the word bearer's footsteps
See the funny part is
It probably wasn't the ultramarine thing that got him hate
It was probably his rules 
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
From what I've heard from old heads
mid 2000's 40k fans were the epitome of chuds
Ward armies were great to throw against each other
i know people absolutely hated 9th edition with the tau
But you fight them with anything else? Adios
like outright refuse to play
