#

The oldbeards who still hate Ward probably can't even remember what exactly he did.

dusty comet
#

which is understandable

green loom
#

Apparently GK were his worst

dusty comet
#

oof

verbal path
#

They just know to hate him for some reason

storm jungle
#

GK were just OOF

storm jungle
#

and people still hate them rightfully to this day lol

green loom
#

The ones who came after are the problem

storm jungle
#

"THE 666TH CHAPTER WITH THE 666 TRIALS"

#

ok we get it

green loom
#

Because this was all mostly documented on 1d4chan see

#

And it got popular for lore

verbal path
#

For a Chapter based on secrecy, they're as subtle as an ogryn's rock.

green loom
#

So people saw "Dark Lord Matt"

#

And suddenly

#

Everything is his fault

storm jungle
#

yeah 4chan is like the fandom's Inquisition in the sense that they are the originators of a lot of falsehoods in the 40k community

#

lol

dusty comet
#

space shark logic and whatnot

green loom
#

Your favourite blorbo loses a finger to an Ork?
Fucking Matt Ward
Your faction doesn't win outright?
Fucking Matt Ward
A gun sight is slightly different between two depictions?
Fucking Matt Ward

dusty comet
#

technically these are stealth missions, and heretics arent by and large aware of them because we keep killing all the ones that saw us

green loom
#

I know it's not a meme either, since I used to be like this, and I've encountered dozens of brainlets who are exactly like I was KEKW_ogryn

dusty comet
storm jungle
#

I love playing in another country and launching a toy missile to kill the army of another person on the other side of the world

dusty comet
#

i want to help call a fucking missile strike on a board in australia

verbal path
dusty comet
#

bastards

green loom
plush mason
dusty comet
#

i mean, you can still strike other tables i guess if your table is within 16ft of another table

green loom
#

Covers are like

#

Modus operandi for every ordo

plush mason
#

ofc

storm jungle
dusty comet
plush mason
storm jungle
#

same thing tbh

plush mason
#

and the people that recorded it

plush mason
#

lol

dusty comet
#

fr tho, i remember listening to my friend who was playing for 9th edition, and was one of the ones who refused to play against tau

arctic talon
#

Why

dusty comet
#

gunlines

arctic talon
#

Tau was pretty balanced

#

Beyond the indirect bullshit

#

But that applied to guard as well

green loom
#

Weren't Tau Castles mostly like, an 8th Ed thing

arctic talon
#

Nah

dusty comet
#

hes said that they werent "fun" to fight

arctic talon
#

9e tau had death blob battlesuits

#

Weird

#

But meh maybe I’m weird

dusty comet
#

im still not sure what he meant unless he meant theyre not satisfying to fight, because realistically he plays the same against them that he does imperial guard armies

green loom
#

You do play Admech

arctic talon
#

Tau are fun to me because they really emphasize good positioning

dusty comet
#

im not the only one who thinks that tau and imperial guard kinda play the same right?

arctic talon
#

They play

#

Really similar lol

#

IG just has better melee and slightly worse shooting

dusty comet
#

i mean that makes sense though

arctic talon
#

Now granted IG melee is still not stellar

green loom
#

And more world of tanks/less gundam

dusty comet
#

my brother would probably play tau or collect the models just for the mechs alone because he currently collects gundam

arctic talon
#

The 3 leman Russ’s advancing 9 inches is more of a gundam then a battle suit

green loom
arctic talon
#

Imperial guard tanks moving faster then an eldar bike because a man in a hat yelled at them

plush mason
#

so i know flak carapace and ceramite all have materials that can resist lasers but is there any armor that can resist like plasma or other energy attacks?

verbal path
#

Gimme enough flak and I'll block plasma.

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

Also true

#

Plasma is pretty brutal

green loom
#

Imp knights aren't Forgeworld

dusty comet
#

theyre not?

arctic talon
#

No

green loom
#

Not the main ones

arctic talon
#

They’re GW

dusty comet
#

oh shit

#

mb

normal light
#

Eldar fate dices 💀

green loom
#

The only ones on Forgeworld are liken

#

The weird knights

dusty comet
#

ah

arctic talon
dusty comet
#

who does titans then?

plush mason
green loom
#

Like the Porphyron

arctic talon
dusty comet
#

ah

arctic talon
#

Unless it’s for titanicus

#

Which is smol titans

green loom
#

Useful for big armour bits as it turns out

arctic talon
#

If we count wraith constructs

#

Then wraith bone technically lol

normal light
arctic talon
#

But that’s more of the wraith construct not giving a fuck it’s missing half its face

normal light
arctic talon
#

Then wraithbone protecting you

normal light
plush mason
normal light
arctic talon
#

Sorta like warpstone

#

But less volatile

dusty comet
#

theres a joke that the sororitas have boob armor so that people know that they're women because if they didnt, theyd accuse the eccliessiarchy of having men under arms again

arctic talon
#

It needs to be “sung” into existance

plush mason
arctic talon
#

It’s psychically active

#

It’s why craftworld eldar gear and eldar empire stuff

#

Is unusable unless you’re a psyker

normal light
arctic talon
#

Those are soul stones

normal light
#

Yep

arctic talon
#

They “rain” on their former worlds

normal light
#

Wanted to correct

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Soul stones aren’t wraith bone

#

Soul stones are their own thing

snow fern
#

Man, you ever just murder fuck a deity of excess into existence screwing over everyone else in the process

arctic talon
#

Craftworld eldar stuck suffering because of the sins of their great great great cousins thrice removed

plush mason
snow fern
#

At least Eldar might feel bad about it, unlike Elder Scrolls elves who want to literally end reality cause they’re smug bastards

arctic talon
#

It’s a bit funny the craftworld eldar feel bad about it

#

They literally had 0 part in it

#

Then again

#

Literal hole in reality

plush mason
#

they ran away and did nothing

dusty comet
#

dark eldar can piss off

arctic talon
#

Tbf not like they could have done anything

snow fern
#

Apathy is death

arctic talon
#

Against the eldar empire

dusty comet
#

feed those mf to slaneesh

verbal path
#

They tried warning people and they didn't listen.

arctic talon
#

Yeah

verbal path
#

Time to flee on the boats and live instead.

arctic talon
#

They did try

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Fair

#

Dark eldar deserve it

verbal path
snow fern
verbal path
plush mason
arctic talon
#

I hold 0 sympathy for the dark eldar

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

Eldrad fucked up

snow fern
#

They literally sat him down and said don’t touch the dildosword

arctic talon
#

Fate trolled him on that day

snow fern
#

And what did he do

dusty comet
#

this was after he touched the dildosword no?

verbal path
#

One of the few times I think Eldar gave a straightforward warning and it still didn't work.

dusty comet
crisp heath
#

I mean he had to pick the one asshole out of all 18 assholes who was least likely to just flip the chessboard when he heard something he didn't like

dusty comet
#

robot girly man

arctic talon
#

I mean fulgrim was pretty levelheaded

dusty comet
#

vulkan

arctic talon
#

Pre sword lol

crisp heath
#

Before picking up the Bad Dragon Sword, Fulgrim would've been high on my list

dusty comet
snow fern
#

I want clonegrim to be the next primarch to return

#

He’ll be so depressed

dusty comet
#

fulgrim, sanguinius, and vulkan id say were the coolest

arctic talon
#

Eldrad is old as shit

#

And he’s just started crystallizing loo

green loom
#

Clonegrim was a plot device to show off Bile
Fulgrim proper will return with an EC faction supposedly

arctic talon
#

Clonegrim was also going traitor

dusty comet
#

only difference between fulgrim and sanguinius is that while fulgrim was always trying to strive for perfection, sanguinius just was

arctic talon
#

again

dusty comet
arctic talon
dusty comet
#

did he not learn from the original or are just every one that blockheaded

snow fern
#

I thought it was a perfect clone of preheresy fulgrim?

arctic talon
#

Slaanesh wanted 2 I’m guessing

arctic talon
#

That doesn’t mean incorruptible

#

He was hanging out around bile lol

green loom
dusty comet
#

the only reason he went traitor was the fucking laer blade

plush mason
arctic talon
#

He is

dusty comet
#

why would he go traitor without it

arctic talon
#

Bile was literally sitting in a lab in the eye of terror

#

Along with clonegrim lol

dusty comet
#

ah

arctic talon
#

Maybe if clonegrim got popped out and stayed in a better place sure

#

But he was in the eye of terror

#

With bile, and also met parts of the Phoenix conclave

crisp heath
#

I like how Fulgrim is the only traitor who seems genuinely ashamed and emotionally demolished by his actions, I just wish his motivation was stronger than "I found a sword that tells me to do coke"

arctic talon
#

He was on the path to damnation again

plush mason
# arctic talon He is

||from the title and the fact it has the old walking tank of a magos i assume he is after the rubricon primaris or something like that||

plush mason
#

idc

#

im not really intersted in Bile

arctic talon
#

He’s after ||the progonoid glands of alpha primus and also wants to try to convince Cawl to work with him||

dusty comet
dusty comet
green loom
dusty comet
#

or if hes a traitor

#

oh

#

well shit

crisp heath
#

Bile is a gigatraitor lmao

plush mason
dusty comet
#

what was the point of clonegrim then? like in the story itself, aside from giving an in to Bile

arctic talon
green loom
arctic talon
#

Just to prove he could

#

And it worked way too fucking well

crisp heath
#

Bile likes to clone primarchs. He's not very good at it, usually

arctic talon
snow fern
arctic talon
#

Bile has gotten it right 2 times

#

Both times have gone horrifically wrong

plush mason
#

but he doesnt worship chaos, iirc he flat out told Slannesh it isnt a god even as his body was shutting down just looking at the dark god lol

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

But he’s still a traitor

crisp heath
#

Atheists can betray you

plush mason
#

his only loyalty is to himself

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

He also thinks the emperor not making female astartes was stupid lol

#

He’s busy working on his plan now

dusty comet
#

and i dont blame the characters who dont like the primaris

arctic talon
#

He thinks there’s 0 point to them

dusty comet
#

ah

arctic talon
#

And that they should have focused on making super humans who could have kids

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Aka Bile’s “new men”

green loom
#

Cawl is improving marines, bile is doing a project pretty much in line with what emps was trying to do

dusty comet
#

the loyalists dont like them because they completely disregard the process that goes into turning them into actual space marines to begin with

arctic talon
#

Bile is trying to ascend humanity forcibly lol

arctic talon
#

And granted the gland hounds and new men are like

#

Absolutely a success

#

But bile doesn’t think they’re good enough yet

green loom
#

Primaris are regular marines with some 2 extra organ s

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

Bile is ironically a perfectionist

plush mason
arctic talon
dusty comet
#

they do?

green loom
#

The big drama was the Unnumbered Sons reinforcements to chapters, who were pretty foreign and also initially lacked some of the mutations

arctic talon
dusty comet
#

i was told they dont do that kind of stuff

arctic talon
#

Tldr marines who can have sex

#

And are more stable mentally

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

Loyalists don't like the primaris because they're space fascists obsessed with genetic purity and feel threatened by a newer model coming out, especially since it's also HeReSy

green loom
snow fern
arctic talon
#

Lol

#

A few of his new men are practically indistinguishable from marines in combat capabilities

#

While in power armor

plush mason
green loom
#

No

arctic talon
#

No

#

He didn’t want superhumans having kids

#

Bile does

green loom
#

Emps has a more psyker oriented view

dusty comet
snow fern
#

I mean, I think Big E was gonna Thunder Warriors 2

green loom
arctic talon
#

The new men are also why bile got kicked out of the Phoenix conclave lol

snow fern
#

And possibly 3 idk about his true feelings on the Primarchs

crisp heath
#

The Emperor was a simple man, he wanted everyone to throw fireballs without also exploding into a daemon at random times

dusty comet
#

They’re also very inexperienced from what I’ve seen

arctic talon
#

Primaris veterans are a thing nowadays

snow fern
arctic talon
#

It’s been long enough in universe

dusty comet
#

The biggest example I’ve seen was that one who went against a chaos terminator and got his shit pushed in

celest dome
#

A SM getting killed by a Termi isn't really that impressive

arctic talon
#

Also abbadon keeps on wanting bile to make chaos primaris

plush mason
arctic talon
#

And bile says no lol

green loom
#

I'm gonna go pass out now, gnight 40k gamers

arctic talon
#

More like around 100

crisp heath
#

The Unnumbered Sons are essentially history, Primaris Marines are just the beefy boys most chapters have now

arctic talon
#

Mostly since the indomitus crusade was like

#

Brutal lol

crisp heath
#

The Unnumbered Sons were the inexperienced, special case primaris

arctic talon
#

Highest attrition rate in marines since the great crusade

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Yeah

dusty comet
crisp heath
#

I do like how resistant the black templars were, a problem that was solved by a primaris just beating the shit out of a captain

#

Yes, I know I oversimplified it. Let me meme.

dusty comet
#

I know the chaos terminator absolutely hated the guy because he “didn’t deserve his rank”

plush mason
#

hard to beat 10k years of combat experience

arctic talon
#

Also yeah chaos terminators are some of the best of the best

#

They’re Chaos Chosen

#

But even better lol

plush mason
#

yup

arctic talon
#

You have a big x painted in your back in terminator armor

#

As a csm

#

Everyone wants it

dusty comet
plush mason
#

classic chaos boasting

arctic talon
#

I wish chaos chosen in 40K weren’t just space marine veterans but slightly better

plush mason
#

which is higher, chosen or champions?

arctic talon
#

Champions

dusty comet
#

I want to say champion?

arctic talon
#

The leader of the chosen is a champion on the tabletop

plush mason
#

got it

celest dome
#

Chaos Chosen in fantasy/AoS feel like they deserve their ranks, the 40k one its just so much less

dusty comet
#

Aight

arctic talon
#

Strong

#

Despite their status in lore still being so high up lol

#

A chaos chosen is way bigger then the average chaos warrior

snow fern
#

I kinda wish csm had a bit more to them, like cacti says there just more to becoming a warrior of chaos than a csm.
Not to downplay peeps like Ahriman or Kharn the Betrayer

celest dome
#

Yeah and they have boastful statures, Termi don't really

arctic talon
#

Like chaos chosen in 40K are like fine

#

But I want them to be more

snow fern
#

Yah

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Faith steel and gunpowder

dusty comet
#

I just chalked it up to faith and numbers

arctic talon
#

Also

#

Magic lol

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

Magic is really useful

snow fern
#

Also Kislev is like all the nightmarish Slavic folk stories but real and meaner

arctic talon
#

Good luck in that nice hellforged armor

#

While you’re being cooked alive by a pyromancer

plush mason
#

or baba yaga has her hut step on you

celest dome
#

And good luck surviving this line of cannons

snow fern
#

Oops your bones are now lead, die

arctic talon
#

Like as strong as the forces of chaos are

#

They’re pretty low tech lol

#

They don’t have gun powder, barely practice agriculture

celest dome
#

Still sad they didn't give Baba Yaga a walking hit as mount.
Would it have been corny, yes. But it would have been a good rhing

plush mason
arctic talon
#

In AoS at least

#

A human mage makes a chaos warrior into a crushed can

celest dome
#

They do have metal manipulation in fantasy too, but I don't remember if they have a set spell for it

dusty comet
#

Christ he hasn’t gotten to age of apostasy yet

snow fern
#

Also overall the various order factions in Fantasy are relatively cooperative with each other excluding Lizardmen, compared to Skaven and Norsca who can’t be bothered not to murder their neighbors

arctic talon
#

Also yeah order is much more friendly with each other

#

Chaos is uh

#

Busy fighting itself a lot of the time

celest dome
#

Backstabby on a good day

#

Openly at war on a bad

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Order in Age of sigmar

#

Is ironically more prone to infighting

#

Then in fantasy

snow fern
#

Probably because order also includes nagash and sometimes orks

arctic talon
#

Nah they’re their own thing

#

Technically

snow fern
#

Ah

arctic talon
#

Nagash has his own little group

celest dome
#

Orcs are destruction and nagash is death

arctic talon
#

Orcs, ogres and giants have their own

celest dome
#

Fimir moved from Chaos to destruction

arctic talon
#

Nagash is angry at Sigmar

celest dome
#

In fairness when isn't he angry

dusty comet
#

The guy I’m tag teaming with to explain 40k lore is finally at age of apostasy

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Yeah

dusty comet
#

I believe so yes

arctic talon
#

Sigmar and the other order gods

#

Are stealing souls that are rightfully his

#

He wanted all the elven souls that got puked up by slaanesh

snow fern
#

I gotta say, the models for the Luminary are stunning

arctic talon
#

And he got told no

celest dome
#

Well he should have been quicker at claiming them

arctic talon
#

Lol

dusty comet
#

Skill issue

snow fern
#

There’s an aos rts coming out isn’t there? Wonder if that’ll be fun

celest dome
#

Realm of Ruin

plush mason
celest dome
#

Think it's getting Tzeentch as the chaos faction

snow fern
#

Finally a tzeentch rep in gaming

arctic talon
#

I don’t blame nagash for being angry but he also went about it in the most dickish way possible

celest dome
#

SM2 is also gonna have Tzeentch

arctic talon
#

stabbing everyone in the back

plush mason
#

yeah

snow fern
#

Oh I somehow missed that.

#

Neat

#

So is Titus still a Firstborn or is he Primaris now?

arctic talon
#

Primaris

#

He’s a tall boy

celest dome
#

Prim sergeant no ?

arctic talon
#

Lt.

plush mason
snow fern
#

Huh, wonder if we’ll be told how that meeting with the Inquisition went

#

He kicked the everloving shit outa a daemon prince, he deserves whatever he asks for

plush mason
#

for a good 100 years

dusty comet
#

I think we’ve potentially broken the guy we’re explaining the lore to

plush mason
#

it happens

dusty comet
#

I think the other guy mentioning that the lore is liable to change on a whim was what did it

#

Nvm he’s good

snow fern
#

I believe Ollanius Pious is real

dusty comet
#

I’m pretty sure he is

snow fern
#

Oh I heard he got retconned, good. Humans deserve some spotlight in 30k

plush mason
#

he might be and his story might not

#

like there is literally 3 versions of the story i have heard/read of

#

one where all of it is real, one where its a doctored version made by a rememberncer and one where its all BS for the propaganda films

snow fern
#

I guess Malcador is a human, even if that human is an peerless psyker who is old beyond the concept of mortality.

celest dome
#

Normal Guardsman (old lore)
Space Marine or custodes
Perpetual.
Those are the 3 I know of

arctic talon
#

The normal guardsmen in old lore might have also just been a legend

snow fern
#

Which was the one who squared up to daemon primarch Angron and won?

celest dome
#

I mean for most people in the imp. They don't really know what perpetuals are

dusty comet
arctic talon
#

Well

#

A human with a really similar name

#

But that was a normal human

#

Who had the brass balls to well

wet sandal
arctic talon
#

Square up to angron lol

plush mason
dusty comet
snow fern
#

Oh wait the World Eaters flagship captain, she’s awesome

plush mason
#

i imagine this is how it ended for him tho

arctic talon
#

Yeah he died

#

But they manage to fuck up angron because of it

#

So A+

plush mason
#

yeah

#

im sure Khrone honored him with a special place on his throne >:)

dusty comet
plush mason
#

ikr

dusty comet
#

Whatever did happen to her anyway?

plush mason
plush mason
dusty comet
#

The fact that it’s a tiny tzeentch daemon makes it even funnier

dusty comet
snow fern
#

Probably eaten by the ship idk, I think the lexicanum says the captain is a different person now

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

The real command deck got fused into the ship sorta

#

Her “body” is still in it

hasty coral
#

Is

#

Is this canon?

snow fern
#

Warp fuckery never ceases to bring horror into the minds of all

arctic talon
#

Coincidentally angron also shows up on the real command deck now

#

Whenever he revives

hasty coral
#

Do orks get faster every time they get a kill in close range?

arctic talon
#

No

hasty coral
#

Because the blood paints them red

plush mason
#

no

arctic talon
#

As funny as that would be

snow fern
#

Ork waagh energy is memed on too hard

plush mason
#

yeah

hasty coral
#

Well the warp is collective thought

plush mason
#

its not nearly as strong as the memes claim

arctic talon
#

The real command deck of the conqueror is pretty horrifying mostly since well

#

There’s a sentient flesh monstrosity on the command throne

#

A bunch of dead people

#

Angron

hasty coral
#

The memes go a bit out of hand

plush mason
arctic talon
#

And some world eaters from the heresy

hasty coral
#

But technically

hasty coral
snow fern
#

Idk, something similar to the power of the eldar gods I reckon?

hasty coral
#

Wait your right

#

Then what the fuck do the eldar gods do?

plush mason
snow fern
#

Be eaten

hasty coral
#

They just happen to not use the magic system the rest of the setting does?

#

Or is the warp only one aspect of the power of thought in 40k

#

Probably the latter

plush mason
#

most likely the latter

#

hell the necrons also dont use the warp

snow fern
#

I mean, then you got the Shadow in the Warp, which some horrid third thing

hasty coral
#

And are based around collective thought

#

Hive mind

arctic talon
#

The waaagh field is connected to the warp

#

But it’s reality lube

#

Not literal reality bending

plush mason
#

the shadow in the warp is like a chaff cloud the hivemind makes to cut off areas of the warp

arctic talon
#

It helps oil the gears of reality

hasty coral
#

Right

arctic talon
#

To make ork stuff work better

hasty coral
#

Orks don’t just make vehicles appear

#

Their belief just helps them work

arctic talon
#

Ork tech at worse

#

Is semi functional

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

The waaagh field makes it functional

snow fern
#

I mean, Ork techies know instinctively how to build stuff

arctic talon
#

Ork tech at best is really good

hasty coral
#

It has to at least simulate a vehicle

arctic talon
#

And the waaagh field

#

Makes it horrifyingly strong

plush mason
#

especially for their ships iirc

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

They instinctively use higher quality wire

#

Tbf

hasty coral
#

That makes sense

#

Because the Orks would still have to legitimately believe their vehicles work

arctic talon
#

But an ork shoota that normally jams

hasty coral
#

They don’t just will them to work

snow fern
#

We also got to remember the orks are a biological weapon made by the Old Ones, which, who knows what sort of bizarre powers and tech they possessed

hasty coral
#

They truly believe they do

arctic talon
#

The waaagh field makes it a fully automatic death spitter

#

Tldr waaagh field makes trash usable

#

Usable good

#

And good very good

plush mason
#

are painboys like meks in that they are just born with an instinct for medical knowhow?

hasty coral
arctic talon
snow fern
#

The ork equivalent to medical knowhow yah

plush mason
#

yeah

grave sparrow
#

because they were pretty fuckin desperate afaik lol

#

make the ultimate killing machines, and stay FAR far away

arctic talon
#

Painboys make meks look sane

hasty coral
#

Krorks were a terrible idea

snow fern
#

As soon as the ctan got involved, the War in Heaven got real spicy

hasty coral
#

Even in desperation

#

JESUS

#

Why would you create such living weapons

arctic talon
#

Tbf

#

They won the war

storm jungle
hasty coral
#

Is a good point

#

Actually even worse

storm jungle
#

Remember

#

People are stupid.

hasty coral
#

Because we knew we would use them against ourselves

arctic talon
#

Desperation makes people even more stupid

hasty coral
#

I will say

#

I enjoy how 40k

#

Makes everyone terrible

#

Because that’s how shit would go

#

Everyone would hate each other, be racist, and RUIN their universe

#

Is there any hope for 40k

#

Or are we gonna get fantasy again?

snow fern
# hasty coral Actually even worse

Depending on who you ask, it was a show of strength to the Soviet Union, but that’s real history, and I can link you to a short (and I mean that seriously) 2 hours video on the subject.

hasty coral
#

We KNEW nukes would be used to kill our own kind

#

And even in the same countries

grave sparrow
#

Weren't there Ork diplomats during the war of the beast as the Orks got close to re-evolving back to Krorks?

hasty coral
#

Seriously is there any hope for 40k?

arctic talon
#

No

snow fern
grave sparrow
#

No, it's a grim dark future of only war l ol

hasty coral
#

anyway to clarify a point about ork technology

#

the kroot got their space flight and warp travel technology by reverse engineering ork technology

#

after a fashion

#

i mean, that is

#

that is to say

#

they ate them

#

anyway kroot have no access to the ork reality distortion so it's safe to say that ork technology is based on real, working principles

wet sandal
#

That sounds quite strange considering ork "technology", especially warp travel is held together by the gestalt field

arctic talon
#

It’s just that the orks aren’t evolved enough to take advantage of it

They definitely do take advantage of it

Could the acolytes use GSC weapons that were former mining equipment?

storm jungle
#

I mean

#

its literally just normal industrial equipment

#

so yes

grave sparrow
#

so, I'm basing this entirely on speculation, but aren't pretty much all the 40k weapons just modified industrial equipment from the Golden Age?

Like Golden Age humanity just used nano-bot swarms and shit for weaponry I thought

storm jungle
#

Nope

#

Golden Age tech is super advanced stuff

#

more or less anything an STC can spew out and other high-scifi mumbo jumbo

#

the lexicanum page displays a lot of examples

#

Basically one of the reasons DAOT exists is for mcguffins from it to be used in 40k, which the writers can make for it to be literally anything

#

for example im writing an admech adventure novel?

#

"They are hunting and finding an STC that can instantly repair ship through cortex-mega-nonsense-repair-robots"

grave sparrow

but abominable intelligence!

arctic talon

Don’t tell the admech STC machines are Abominable intelligences

grave sparrow

isn't that like a big plot point folk bring up lol.

Like if an intact STC was found, would the admech just destroy it

It entirely depends on the admech that find it

Some will destroy it

Some will use it in secret

what constitutes a small ordo? how many members would it have?

There are ordos with three people

I don't remember what they're called, but I remember digging through Lexicanum once and finding an ordo with only 5 people in it, no one knows what they do, but there's also an ordo with like 20 people whose only job is to watch them

Is this supposed to be a deterrent for learning about aliens or does this encourage learning more about aliens so you hate them more?

queen laurel
#

you only are only encouraged to learn enough about them

#

Enough to hate them and kill them with no questions asked

#

The imperium absolutely hates aliens after all there is literally an inquisitorial order made to deal with xenos

winged jacinth
#

Its basically a roundabout way of saying "don't ever give aliens the benefit of the doubt" as i read it

rigid dune
#

lore wise, how strong are zealots preachers? Quick wiki read say that they deal "blows emboldened by pious rage" and such. Are they actualy wielding some type of magic power or do they just believe that they do? As someone who is not well versed in the universe they just seem like some madmen with a chainsaw?

median marsh
#

Faith in 40k actually does have a tangible effect and calling them madmen is also technically accurate

#

Theyre less prone to fear as a result so you have a powerhouse that is determined to shred enemies of the emperor to bits

rigid dune
#

Okay, im just thinking about how strong they are lore wise and if something has gotten buffed/nerfed due to gameplay reason. Like the psyker when I read about that seems that they would be a lot more powerfull and valuble to a team than "man with gun"

median marsh
#

Psykers have varying degrees of strength, from pretty minor stuff like being able to move small objects with their mind to extreme cases where a single Psyker can annihilate an entire squadron

#

Our psykers are somewhere in the middle ground, not monstrously powerful but strong enough to deal considerable damage

#

Lore wise best example of zealot would probably be Sisters of Battle

#

Since they can manifest things with their sheer faith, like Living Saints

rigid dune
#

Would a Sister of battle be much stronger than a Zealot Preacher? From art work they seem to wear powerarmor and stuff, which I guess have it's own weight?

median marsh
#

I'd say specifically our zealot is stronger in a 1v1 situation but SoBs are better equipped

green loom
#

They're just zealots but actually trained and equipped

median marsh
#

our chars have basically main character plot armor

rigid dune
#

So is it feasible that a team of 4 would enter a infested city and do these tasks? or is that plot armor level type of power in the works?

green loom
#

Nope!

#

But it's a video game

#

so

median marsh
#

our chars do mention sisters of battle and the fact if they do arrive they'll probably level the entire place to the ground

#

I dont think they operate on small scale

green loom
#

Yeah you know how the preachers are violent fanatics

#

I mean zealots

median marsh
#

F i r e

green loom
#

Sisters are the same but also worse and WAY more uncompromising

median marsh
#

Reminds me of Soulstorm where they want to burn everyone

#

Marines and IG included

crisp heath
#

Honestly the rejects could probably fight off poxwalkers and even daemons pretty well in lore. I always talk about how they're total powerhouses.

#

The issue is they don't get sick or corrupted, which is how nurgle really gets you.

crisp heath
#

Small scale is definitely not their strong suit

tulip brook
#

normal zealots are untrained lowest rank of ecclesiarchy while sisters are elite army. normally they are not even comparable but our reject is good enough to be in inner retinue of a pretty big deal inquisitor so he's just not elite enough to be trusted with power armor

stable loom
#

Hey all question what is the psyker in the training room I’ve been trying to figure it out but I’m not finding anything?

#

Like she doesn’t seem to be a normal psyker

green loom
#

A plot device for us to have a training room

stable loom
#

So not even a bit of lore for her?

green loom
#

Her name is Sefoni and she creeps most of our chars out

celest dome
#

She is an Alpha Psyker, we don't have much knowledge on her yet, but we can guess she is a great Telepath

tulip brook
#

I'd say she's no way an alpha psyker. that would make her more powerful than almost all sm librarians

crisp heath
#

She's also nowhere near crazy enough to be an alpha

median marsh
#

shes powerful certainly, I still wonder if the machine she is in:
A) keeping her contained
B) Keeping her stable and away from being possessed through warding

#

I had 3 options originally but when I thought about it, it's unlikely that the machine is using her as a battery for something else because she has a bit of "freedom" in the world she simulates

#

Like controlling aspects of it etc

tulip brook
#

pickling psykers isn't an uncommon thing. most likely for control as you said

median marsh
#

She also sounds pretty content with her circumstances

From dialogue she has a disdain for professional while adoring ogryns

Why is the silent king scared of the Tyranids ? I mean, the necrons are basically a hard counter to them with the weapons they have available.

#

But no most necrons just give a full-wide genocide order

#

mostly because its not like their enemies will treat them the same anyway

urban spire
#

most factions in 40k don't take prisoners, and if they do take prisoners you'll wish they hadn't

storm jungle
#

There is this REALLY interesting art from 9th edition though where it shows Szarekhan Dynasty necrons taking droves of human prisoners

#

Im guessing likely to be experimented on though so lmao

urban spire
#

the imperium will capture a small number of xenos for maybe interrigation, vivisection or both, low ranking chaos cultists if they surrender might be made into servitors or just executed

#

anyone more involved in chaos than at a really low level probably wont be trusted as a servitor

#

secessionist humans are the only ones who can expect any sort of lasting captivity from the imperium i imagine

queen laurel
#

because the other time I know they were willingly take human prisoners is to make pariahs

#

But of course they stopped the production of those because you know it's a hassle

Is las"shotguns" something that exist in the universe?

storm jungle
#

Yeah but its never been at the forefront anywhere

#

since lasers are all about focusing the energy into a single point.

#

Shotlas - An illegal modification of a standard Lasgun popular amongst the techwrights and armour-mongers of the world of Footfall, the "Shotlas" is rigged to discharge more energy per shot, at the cost of beam coherence, with the weapon's shots swiftly losing power and becoming ineffective at longer ranges.

queen laurel

the imperium might forbid a lot of things but they hate losing more

queen laurel
# median marsh I'm also pretty sure ork weapons don't function for anyone except them

The thing is you can make an ork weapon function for yourself because a lot of them are just missing pieces, the WAAAAGGHHH just holds them together, so if you add extra duct tape and some extra components it should work fine but why would you waste materials on something that looks like it's been built by slapping together metal when you can get high grade weaponry, actually reliable weaponry

the Ork Hunters fight their feral enemy on their own terms, and have become extremely adept at their savage purpose.
