i might just play veteran if they add this but, it seems to be something a gunner would carry

celest dome
#

One of the Vet art does show a belt fed weapon, but I doubt it would appear, unless we get new classes, and even then I think we would see Hellgun rather than a Stub belt fed weapon

queen laurel

#

actually thast an assault cannon

queen laurel
#

we would be going down to the levels of dregs

verbal path
#

We already use stub revolvers

the poor guy can barely handle a bolt pistol and you wanna give him autocannons smh

rose thorn
#

balller af idk if they exist in 40k

verbal path
#

God just give veteran heavy weapons kthx

nocturne crest
#

If the Veteran gets a rotor cannon, then the Zealot should get some House Cawdor weapons.

verbal path
#

Because they kinda suck tbh

#

ILIASTUS PATTERN ASSAULT CANNON my bad

Are there sniper rifles in the imperium?

#

pls cawdor weapons are terribly unsafe, but a combi shotgun would be cool

verbal path
#

The one good thing with the chat is 40k and Forge World are now on the same site I guess

rose thorn
#

a not terrible version of cawdo rwepaons

#

as cwadors weapons are made of literal garbage

Dark Eldar.

tulip brook
#

chaos

#

dark eldars fear them, that should be enough of an argument

urban spire
#

lho isn't tobacco, it's a narcotic rather than a stimulant, the imperial guard more or less runs on them

tulip brook
#

then tyranids laugh at their face, if they have any kind of mouth...

urban spire
#

imo no faction in 40k is all that scary, it's all a bit too detached and cartoony

crisp heath
#

You say that until you are in there line of sight

#

I wouldn’t want to have my skin filled with hooks and flayed alive by a chaos worshipper imo

urban spire
#

well obviously yes

#

but i'm not going to be in the line of sight of anyone from 40k since they aren't real

#

things that aren't real can be frightening, but they have to evoke fear in a different way than "they might do bad things to me"

rose thorn
urban spire
#

oh yeah that was the other thing i wanted to mention

#

they are legal in a lot of places

rose thorn
#

also people with really bad intellegence are the only ones that can use them

#

oh

median marsh
#

There are unsettling elements to pretty much every faction, the endless struggle of eldar as an entity beyond comprehension constantly tugs at their souls, Orks being living weapon of endless destruction etc

urban spire
#

lho is more like weed than tobacco

median marsh
#

Mechanicus treading a dangerous path of what makes a human..well human

verbal path
#

Orks are having a jolly old time.

median marsh
#

Orks are a victim of memefication which makes people conveniently forget that they are horrific

verbal path
#

Orks are having a good time. Everyone else isn't.

real bane
#

Orks are having a good time.

median marsh
#

some orks do

real bane
#

cause they aint ork enough

median marsh
#

Woopsies, you've grown too big lad, get krumped

verbal path
#

Like that audio log in SM1 where they broke into a civvie holdout.

real bane
#

its why they not da boss

#

if they were a real ork they would'nt get crumped

#

they'd crump the crumpers

#

be big

spare osprey
real bane
#

I know the orks are horrific, but its fun imagining how much fun they have internally.

#

Much like a dark eldar would be having fun

queen laurel
real bane
#

Technically, dark eldar are having way more fun than orks in totality, but we don't talk about them cause its not as caveman brain bonking

#

and as funny

urban spire
#

depictions of orks do tend to get very cartoony

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

Orks are what happens if Bugs Bunny had consequences for his actions

verbal path
urban spire
#

i remember reading that old comic about ork flying aces, that was so much fun

real bane
#

they are also way more vile

#

just straight up

median marsh
#

There's a slight sadness to them, a bioweapon that has long since outlived it's original purpose and just..exists now really

urban spire
#

i disagree

#

the orks are having an amazing time

verbal path
#

That one Eldar philosopher had a good quote about Ork society of it being a successful one.

queen laurel
real bane
#

Do yall forget what dark eldar do to people

#

may i remind you about the whacky turn you to glass gun

median marsh
#

The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.

real bane
#

that makes you infinite pain

urban spire
#

no but it's cartoonish evil so it's not really that scary

#

ooh gun that makes me feel infinite pain wouldn't that be awful

queen laurel
urban spire
#

i don't feel anything

real bane
#

Yeah but an ork will tear you in half while a dark eldar will put you in the barb wire death dungeon for half a century

#

if you live

urban spire
#

in order for something to be scary it has to get past the rational part of your brain, to make that deeper part of it go "...okay but what if though"

queen laurel
#

Dark eldar on the other hand

#

ehh give or take a few broken rib cages

urban spire
#

and to hit that deeper part of the brain you have to go to some lengths to set up tension and make something believable

median marsh
#

The spooky part for Dark Eldar is the fact they can't really quit this life, lest they get slowly devoured by me

real bane
#

Pretty much. rip elf bozos.

median marsh
#

A portable smoothie for a horror beyond reality of you please

urban spire
#

like slenderman, as memed as he is, can be genuinely chilling if you go through all the setup

queen laurel
real bane
#

that's presentation, not the facts of the fact orks are way less vile than the dark eldar.

urban spire
#

but if i just say "what if a dude with no face looked at you through the second floor window" you're just "yeah whatever"

real bane
#

I'm saying on the facts level, dark eldar are just way worse than orks ever could be and that's why people give orks a better pass.

median marsh
#

Introducing a new perfume collection made from ground up exodites

urban spire
#

and with factions in 40k you don't usually get any horror, because 40k is just kinda saying "what if there was an elf and the elf looked at you"

queen laurel
real bane
#

you don't find a lot of people memeing about how the dark eldar have as much of a good time cause the whole 'we are absolutely going to torture you for a few decades' is an intergral part of who they are

urban spire
#

well the deldar are also just not as popular

median marsh
#

models too spiky, painful to handle

urban spire
#

at least in a meme format, idk about the tabletop

real bane
#

The orks on the otherhand, are diverse and can be meme'd cause not all orks need to be cruel and violent to humans

#

they can just beat eachother

queen laurel
urban spire
#

iirc both deldar and orks are some of the most neglected forces

verbal path
queen laurel
#

yes that is an actual produc

median marsh
#

Smells like purple, I approve

verbal path
urban spire

i will take fucking anything if it'll help me sleep

real bane
#

I do hate how a lot of people compress slaneesh down to 'haha sex' when that's a small part of it and miss the broader parts of slaanesh's being.

queen laurel
#

a lot of faction models need some love

The Nurgle candle is potent

real bane
#

Nurgle candles sound nice.

verbal path
urban spire
queen laurel
median marsh
#

My favorite models are the first iterations of tyranids

urban spire
#

the overall effect is kinda sex negative, which i'm not a fan of

queen laurel
median marsh
#

They were so..amazing

crisp heath
#

All sex is negative unless there's chitin involved somewhere, down with Slaanesh and up with the Hive Mind

They retained some elements from the early days, mainly weapons and plates

queen laurel

either it smells like burning acid or cyanide

urban spire

are these candles real?

queen laurel
urban spire
#

huh

median marsh
#

There's Darktide hot sauce

queen laurel
#

it's an actual product you can buy

urban spire
#

wonder what they put in them

median marsh
#

And darktide figurines

queen laurel
median marsh
#

Tau ethereal

queen laurel
#

that can have multiple meanings

crisp heath

I kid you not I think Nurgle is straight up fermented cat vomit

someone had to Imagine what an ethereal smells like

ionic rapids
#

are grey knight technically a chapter even tho they dont have a classicly assigned primarch?

celest dome
#

Legion have an assigned Primarch

ionic rapids
#

oh right

celest dome
#

Chapter often times don't even know their Primarch

ionic rapids
#

theyre not a legion, theyre a chapter

celest dome
#

Yes

ionic rapids
#

trueee

#

thanks

celest dome
#

But their 1st Chapter Master was Janus iirc

#

Who has a shard of Magnus in him

ionic rapids
#

didnt malcador have something to do ith it too

crisp heath
#

Are custodes blade guns glaives or halberds?

#

I feel like it’s a glaive

celest dome
#

Spears

crisp heath
#

Huh

#

Calling cap

#

That thing has a blade

celest dome
#

🤷

#

Well if we were to argue I'd say it's a Glaive

median marsh
#

yeah id say its a Glaive shape wise (if we ignore the bolter entirely)

#

lexicanum says its a "halberd like" even though it doesnt have an axe blade

celest dome
#

Halberd by definition have 3 attack design

#

Hookblades for example have 3 so they are Halberds

#

Now gun/ranged aren't usually counted but for clarity I would

#

And here we have only 2 attack design, the blade and the bolter

urban spire
#

most weapon classifications are modern

#

in the time period and location they were made in, weapons usually have the simplest name possible

lapis wadi
#

Maybe the originals were spears but they changed to be glaives over time

#

Or High Gothic mistranslation

storm jungle
#

Or GW writers just don’t know the difference

celest dome
#

True

#

Even in guns

median marsh
#

thinking about it, its all just stabbing eachother with sharp sticks and throwing rocks but with extra steps

urban spire
#

it's all vacuum with a sparse dusting of probability waves

#

some of which are very angry

arctic talon
#

Pointy stick good

urban spire
#

pointy stick bad

#

let's have war about it

crisp heath
#

It's not uncommon for a glaive to be considered a type of spear anyway

plush mason
#

its all polearms at the end of the day

thick cedar
#

Since Psyker is the most played class its getting pretty meta with the Psychic awakening in warhammer lore

urban spire
#

technically i think the custodes spear is a machine pistol with a horrible bayonet and a worse stock

hasty coral
#

If you HAD to serve a chaos god which would you?

#

Nurgle gaming here obviously

real bane
#

I think the only one that is good is Nurgle. Tzeentch and Slaanesh mess you up big time. Khorne absolutely obliterates your sanity through overwhelming bloodshed

hasty coral
#

Not just because he is probably the least awful for his worshippers, I can somewhat see myself believing in his goals

real bane
#

Nurgle is simple and broad enough taht you can get away with living without being messed up (only physically)

hasty coral
#

Because the constant creation of life and the true nature of stagnation are two major aspects of him that I can see myself supporting

plush mason
hasty coral
#

WOW

#

That is BOLD

#

Aren't like all his worshippers constantly in physical and mental anguish?

#

If they don't giga murder enough?

plush mason
#

you say that like im not already in constant physical and mental anquish lol

real bane
#

Khorne worshippers usually become braindead tho

#

not like dumb, i mean like, their identity is eventually destroyed

storm jungle
#

there is no "good" option

hasty coral
#

But you don't really feel it

storm jungle
#

You do

real bane
#

Yeah but you atleast don't get messed up in a variety of mental ways that destroy you like all the others

green loom

Seeing as I'm an artist I'd probably go slaanesh

Having read the Lords of Silence most nurgle devotees entirely want to be disease ridden and feel all of it

Your mind will eventually decay and you wont notice how you are basically a pus-bag

hasty coral
#

Better than the others

#

Maybe Tzeentch

#

Don't know enough about him to judge though

normal light

Like every Chaos Gods = Straight pass to damnation

storm jungle

hasty coral
#

Again I grow used to my plagues, less so for Khrone

#

Murder pain

storm jungle
#

yeah theres no "better" option

hasty coral
#

Is murder pain

storm jungle
#

they are all equally terrible

normal light
#

In either way

storm jungle
#

and all give you fucked up mutations

normal light
#

you usually become bloated mutant

#

and die

hasty coral
#

Why are mutations bad though

#

I want a tentacle arm

#

Like safest option is not to get Chaos Mark or be Undivided

hasty coral
#

You act like I'm not ok with a stomach mouth

green loom
#

Slaanesh gang wooo

real bane
#

Undivided are kinda cringe cause you gotta work under abbadon the useless

#

is it worth the shame

hasty coral

And your just kinda lame vanilla guys

That nobody hates

#

But also nobody likes

Not sure where the "shame" part comes from

I think being iron warriors is best bet if you're chaos alligned

storm jungle
#

I mean 💀

#

its about as bad

normal light
storm jungle
#

I hope you like being pushed by your "battle-brother" into an industrial grinder because he hated you and wanted your spot in the warband

hasty coral
#

Are there peaceful chaos worshippers?

storm jungle
#

no

#

LMAO

normal light
hasty coral
#

Thats

median marsh
#

life as a chaos servant is not pleasant

storm jungle
#

Chaos is about wanton destruction and disorder

hasty coral
#

Dumb

storm jungle
#

theres no "peace"

storm jungle
arctic talon
hasty coral
#

You can spread disease and bring plagues

#

Without shooting civilians

storm jungle
#

...

#

what in the fu-

hasty coral
#

I didn't say unharmful

storm jungle
#

So you basically want to inadvertedly kill people?

#

instead of directly killing them?

hasty coral
#

But there is a nurgle faction which is only about death

arctic talon
#

By that logic then typhus is one of the cuddliest marines around

green loom
#

Don't worry guys it isn't a war crime, I only beheaded the guy I didn't shoot him

arctic talon
#

He doesn’t kill you with his weapons

hasty coral
#

And others are about the propagation of life

arctic talon
#

You just get horrific disease

#

And die around him

#

Or turn into a zombie

plush mason
real bane
#

can't have your identity destroyed if you don't have one

plush mason
#

yup

arctic talon
#

Chaos inherently drives their followers to violence

crisp heath
#

Typhus? More like, weird writing. Why is he not a Daemon Prince yet?

hasty coral
#

But it seems weird that EVERY chaos worshipper is MASSIVE MURDER, KILL EVERYTHING, can't the chaos gods be unhinged and a plague on reality without just being murder villians

hasty coral
arctic talon
hasty coral
#

Mainly in technicality

crisp heath
arctic talon
#

It’s called the death guard

storm jungle
#

should be renamed

#

Peace Guard

arctic talon
#

Talleymen don’t fight

#

They just count up the diseases

#

And spread it

crisp heath
#

The thing is, space marines are guys that kill. Chaos, uses them for their express purpose. Otherwise, chaos is an influence.

arctic talon
#

Just ignore the fact they have a launcher for it

hasty coral
#

That's kinda what I meant

storm jungle
hasty coral
#

Yes all the gods involve death on a massive scale

crisp heath
#

They involve a funny word.

#

Chaos.

arctic talon
#

“Peaceful” chaos followers exist by that logic then yes

hasty coral
#

But I feel most of them should be less maim, kill, burn and more do what my god wants me to

crisp heath
#

Anything opposite to reality is welcome in the immaterium, because that's what it is

hasty coral
#

Although I guess they already do

crisp heath
#

I would love the shit out of Peacehammer, which is an alternate universe ttrpg where you have to manage interstellar diplomacy with carnivorous insects and literal demons

arctic talon

How does a tree make sugar food

the Imperium definitely has Banana-Worlds 🍌

arctic talon
hasty coral
#

THE SEEDS EAT THE FRUIT

#

Your kidding

#

That's WILD

#

Nature is so cool man

median marsh
#

some plants use fruit in order to spread far through animals that eat em, for others its basically additional food for their seeds

hasty coral
#

Like have you seen a durian

#

Crazy

#

Its a spiky smelly fruit that has creamy ice cream goo in it

plush mason
#

btw. the wax the imperium uses is paraffin right?

hasty coral
#

Like, HOW

median marsh
#

nature is pretty spooky, theres a tree which creates exploding seeds

storm jungle
#

its a spike bomb that explodes

median marsh
#

said tree is covered in sharp poison spikes

#

sounds about right for Catachan tbh

#

considering they have what is basically a plant towel that mind controls you

hasty coral
#

Speaking of which though

#

Apples go crazy this time of year

queen laurel

Machaon apple go insane

plush mason
queen laurel

Nature is always packing heat

hasty coral
#

If you're not buying a bag of apples every grocery trip rn

#

Your crazy

median marsh
#

Nature: heres an ant that hurts like a gunshot
Also nature: heres a frog so small its bad at basically everything

hasty coral
#

Well evolution is

#

Not a winners game

crisp heath
#

I like to think there's a fairly common, extremely cute and totally harmless herbivore on Catachan that has survived purely because no predator trusts that enough to hunt it

hasty coral
#

Most of the time

#

Most mutations

#

Do not end well

crisp heath

Like the Catachan Ground Koala or something

celest dome

Luck is also a stat you can build into

arctic talon
queen laurel

#

a lot of 40k plant and animal life descriptions are hillarious

like the catachan frog that explodes killing everything around it for miles

hasty coral
#

What even is an exterminatus?

#

I know what it does

#

Are there different methods?

median marsh
#

theres quite a few ye

#

Exterminatus is basically the last option

storm jungle
#

explosion ouchie

#

ouchie = people die

hasty coral
#

Just tank it

#

Lol

median marsh

you give up the world in order to prevent something terrible, like lets say a Titan production falling to chaos

Dying = shit build

queen laurel

Koalas are proof that God is real and he makes mistakes

hasty coral

Etc

median marsh

the one thing to remember with anything warhammer, its always pumped up to extreme so trying to make it make sense is difficult

hasty coral
#

It doesn't have to make sense

tulip brook
#

even funnier, most likely trazyn have a couple of those tucked away in his museum

hasty coral
#

What is uh Trazyn even doing

crisp heath
#

They exclusively eat a poison that they have no resistance to and that they are not intelligent enough to find under anything but ideal conditions

#

Koalas are a glitch in reality

hasty coral
#

Is he just doing his crazy museum owner thing?

queen laurel
#

And it's history

arctic talon

#

By connecting anything that he fancies

hasty coral
#

Good joke

arctic talon
#

Also on a speed run

#

To get banned from every necron dynasty throne world

arctic talon

"Stop screaming and maybe you'll learn something" -Trazyn

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

The only major throne world he isn’t banned from is his own dynasties

median marsh
#

Trazyn was a keeper of history before his new form iirc, so it stuck to him even after transference

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

And even then he’s on thin fucking ice

#

For trying to steal something

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

Trazyn clearly had his memories tampered with to some extent during biotransference, but he doesn't really outright lie

queen laurel
#

So fair trade I say

crisp heath
#

He's just kind of delusional and doesn't care if he's making sense

median marsh
#

my man stole a couple regiments (and supposedly Creed)

hasty coral
#

Trazyn likes fun

#

That is clear

#

His collection is second only to his whims

crisp heath

What's Oberyn's boyfriends name again?

It's Canon that there's a recording of Trazyn explaining how to bake a terran cake in ork-speak somewhere on Solemnace

No British ones

Just mostly how they got the artifacts is funny lol

Especially for British museums

Yeah the fact that most of these are important and come from far away places

OOOOOOOOOOOOH

hasty coral

I get it

arctic talon
#

It’s not the worst

Sucks ass

Morally

hasty coral

At least they are telling the history

queen laurel
hasty coral
#

Even if its not theirs

arctic talon
#

Yeah

hasty coral
#

And they tell it wrong

arctic talon
#

At least the history is respected

arctic talon
#

Not anymore

#

Really

#

The history of how those items were obtained is also important

hasty coral
#

You know whats fun though?

#

Aquariums

Man that was my thing when I was little

lofty tangle

ok just joined what are we talking about?

arctic talon
#

Necrons

hasty coral
#

Anything

storm jungle
#

Neck Rons

arctic talon
median marsh
#

Everything

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

also Dark Angles

hasty coral
#

So what ARE the necrons doing?

storm jungle
#

Too many goals to count

#

every dynasty is going its own thing

#

its like asking "What are the world governments doing"

median marsh
#

i imagine necrons awakening like that meme of a guy looking confused from a pillow

queen laurel
hasty coral
arctic talon
#

You forgot hording wealth

storm jungle
#

so, accurate

hasty coral
#

Including the fact they caused it

queen laurel
median marsh
#

tfw you take a small nap and wake up with the galaxy ripped in half

arctic talon
#

The dynasty trazyn is a part of are a bunch of kleptomaniacs anyways lol

queen laurel
#

So i'm glad they don't plan on doing that anytime sooon

crisp heath
#

Necrons are the China of space, they conquer everything sometimes but then they break apart 500 years later 6 million people die.

arctic talon
#

They’re literally the wealthiest of all the dynasties

storm jungle
#

You cant break apart if you were never united

median marsh
#

necron tech is also really funny

queen laurel
arctic talon
median marsh
#

such as the gun platform that has a neutron sun as a core

hasty coral
queen laurel
#

They just steal everything they can get their hands on

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

They literally plate their necron warriors gold

#

To show off

queen laurel
hasty coral
#

Oh wait

#

Favorite faction?

#

Death Guard for me

#

I like the bells

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

I like Gorkamorka necrons though, they keep humans as pets and the humans act like Orks because orks are the dominant species

median marsh
#

i like Nids, Orks and Admech

hasty coral
crisp heath
#

Whenever the orks hurt their human friends the necrons in Gorkamorka just lose their shit

storm jungle
#

I mean no

#

they just hide near the necron pyramids

#

them "defending" humans against orks happened like once

hasty coral
#

What about you Dilara?

#

Favorite faction?

crisp heath
#

Let it be cute damn it

storm jungle

no

storm jungle
hasty coral
crisp heath
#

Guess my favorite faction

#

I'm sure it's easy

hasty coral
#

Necrons

queen laurel
# hasty coral What specifically about the boyz?

Orks can do a lot of things

Surprisingly flexible and the tactics too

You can barrel down a horde of brutal infantry

Favor vehicles that are either absolutely armored and have a lot of fire power or speed with amazing hit-and-run tactics

And they can even straight up just empoy monsters that can f*** up everything in front of them

crisp heath
#

That's right! It's the Inquisition!

queen laurel
#

Even stealth

#

Yes Orks sneak

hasty coral
#

Purple Ork joke incoming

median marsh
#

Kommando time

queen laurel
#

That's literally their entire point

hasty coral
#

Are they good at it?

queen laurel
#

There is also a klan of orks that is hated by everyone because they use actual strategy

queen laurel
#

They can often catch people off guard because no one would expect an ork to actually employ strategy

median marsh
#

the idea of a massive Ork sneaking around is both funny but also terrifying

warped briar
#

paint em purple for maximum stealth

crisp heath
#

I read the Carcharodons novels and I never laugh at "big thing in 40k is also super sneaky". The Night Lords are horrifying in that book.

#

There's a point near the beginning where it's very heavily implied a Night Lord is following the protagonists crew in a single file line and no one notices him, even after the people in the back go missing.

spare osprey
#

Like super impossible

versed ledge
#

How does a giant walking tank of a marine even go sneaky?

#

ThermoOptical camo?

tulip brook
#

space magic

#

in night lords or raven guard case, they are innately hard to detect. raven guard employs more techy stuff with their armor to make them a bit more silent and night lords are really good at ambushing and seizing opportunities

winged jacinth
median marsh
#

Battle Brothers dont sneak for most part, Scouts do however. in case of Night Lord its a special kind of sneak

#

the kind of sneak that leaves the enemy completely terrified

#

you know its there, you know it can come at you at any time, even hear or catch glimpses of it

#

but you can never pinpoint where it is until its too late

versed ledge
#

Warp fuckery in tandem with advanced stealth tech isn't it?

arctic talon
#

It’s mostly advanced tech

crisp heath
#

Also the galaxy in 40k is almost entirely populated by Hitman NPCs

storm jungle
tulip brook
#

also the stories are mostly in big battle setups and these guys are doing sabotage, shock and awe tactics 99% of the time rather than mgs hiding in a box sneaky stuff

storm jungle
#

I mean theres no need to explain it

#

its stupid as shit

tulip brook
#

that's kinda the whole point of the universe

#

everything's dialed up to 15

storm jungle
#

Kinda

#

theres a limit to the stupidity when the author wants you to take some stuff seriously

#

big guys in armor doing "stealth" aint one of them

tulip brook
#

add jetpacks too

storm jungle
#

I mean no

#

jetpacks are not that silly

#

especially compared to half this stuff 💀

tulip brook
#

I mean big guys in armor with jetpacks doing stealth

storm jungle
#

Oh god why

verbal path
#

They're suppressed jetpacks

storm jungle

Because perfection isnt about looking attractive

Their definitions have... become distorted

arctic talon
lapis wadi
#

wow okay rude

arctic talon
#

Excess does terrible things to the mind

#

Ask a crack head what they see as perfect

#

And that’s like 1% of what goes through a follower of slaanesh’s head

upbeat dragon
#

good points

tulip brook
#

perfection was emperor's children's aim. slaneesh is god of excess

arctic talon
#

Ask a glutton what they want to eat and that’s 1% of what a follower of slaanesh wants to eat

patent ivy
#

So was the universe in a "good" position prior to the times of the AI turning on the humans?

tulip brook
#

who knows

arctic talon
#

Mostly since there wasn’t a new hole torn in reality yet

storm jungle
#

humanity was all on its own colonies with advanced tech doing their own stuff

patent ivy
#

Ah okay

storm jungle
#

Yeah there wasnt a "united" humanity

#

it was more just a golden age of technology with everyone off to do whatever

#

but life definitely wasn't hell at least KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon
#

And then the men of iron revolt and then the long night

#

And then the birth of slaanesh

storm jungle
patent ivy
#

Gotcha

arctic talon
#

Birth of slaanesh actually kinda helped

#

Mostly since it stopped the warp storms

tulip brook
#

curbed elves

storm jungle
#

The eldar didnt do anything

#

💀

arctic talon
#

Well

storm jungle
#

it was entirely random occurences and humanity's own fault

arctic talon
#

The craftworld eldar didn’t

#

For the birth of slaanesh

storm jungle
#

That yeah lol

patent ivy
#

Now, did the humans interact at all with the other factions at all during this time or prior to it?

storm jungle
#

people just assume DAOT humanity fell due to eldar for some reason

arctic talon
#

That’s about it

#

Most likely killed orks

storm jungle
#

Yeah Orks werent as big of a threat and Necrons were asleep

arctic talon
#

Necrons were still sleepy

tulip brook
#

exodites didn't either, apparently dark eldars were just fine cooped up in their city too

arctic talon
#

Things were good for humanity and the eldar

#

And then the men of iron happened

tulip brook
#

looks like all eldar that actually did something got wiped

arctic talon
#

They’re the rememnents

storm jungle
#

Dark Eldar were basically the same breed as the Fall Eldar yeah they just hid in the webway to do even worse stuff

arctic talon
#

Of the eldar empire technically

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

its also why the dark eldar were once ruled by nobility

#

then uhhh

Are there hypothetically shapeshifters in the 40k universe

yes

Don't remind me of 40k lore like that smh

Why did the Emperor just not get stabbed by Horus?

Is he stupid???

lapis wadi
#

man how did the emperor not expect a dude called Horus Heresy to betray him think

warm notch
#

Is he stupid???

#

What kind of mf names his son Horus anyway

#

That’s like asking for them to be bullied

#

Which makes a lot of sense

#

I wonder what’s the most common name in the Imperium of mankind that creates a logistical nightmare

lapis wadi
#

Probably a pseudo-latin name, as high gothic has the largest spread across the galaxy and plenty of people will name their kid in a way to try and borrow some of that glamour...

#

I bet there's a ton of Ciaphas out there

Which is a Halloween “equivalent”

I don’t know how to spell it though

If you've never had your head pushed into a bucket of fake blood by a 300 pound man dressed as a skeleton while a CD of screams recorded in 1987 plays on a Walkman almost as old before going home and eating candy until you're in a diabetic coma

I think I'll stick with calling it The "Day of Mystery"

Not familiar with fantasy, and I'm looking over this wiki article and uhh I am woefully unprepared to understand this

arctic talon
lapis wadi
#

Probably not a big time for celebration then

Also the big green moon is readily visible

arctic talon

Also the barrier between the normal world and realms of chaos become more thin

Oh yeah if that day was in 40k then nobody's celebrating anything

#

Oh wait isn't this part of the very first Gotrek and Felix book

arctic talon
#

Maybe?

#

I don’t remember

#

Iirc some plants and stuff also mutate during it

crisp heath
#

They hide in an inn on a night when chaos worshippers are active, Felix thinks it's all overstated so they go out to find the Inn Keepers son to cover their stay instead of money

arctic talon
#

It’s just straight up not a good night

crisp heath
#

End up interrupting a mass sacrifice

arctic talon
#

Otherwise it’s some night with a ton of chaos activity

crisp heath
#

Oh yep its geheimnisnacht!

#

It was the first thing ever written for Gotrek and Felix, not just "part of the first book" lmao

storm jungle
#

Yep that sounds about right

#

never gonna forget that inn part because them shutting that door to just chill in the inn for a bit had an amazing cozy vibe to it

lapis wadi
#

No good Imperial kid wants to dress up as a monster. After all, monsters in the Imperium are xenos, witches, and heretics.
Plus if it's anything like the Fantasy variant it's actually a genuinely scary day as the Warp swells in power.

There was a party right outside my apartment

I showed up in the clothes I wear daily because they look like a costume, and got a slice of Papa John’s

The only time I've done anything for halloween was 4-5 years ago and I dressed up as a Spartan hoplite

I don’t do costumes cause I’m too big for them

Being 6’1 and nearly 260lbs ain’t doing me any favors

Oh my God I always watch scary movies, I held a dumb supper last year, I usually cook something special, I don't really dress up but I do go out in my spookiest best, I get a pumpkin spice latte

Every now and again I visit the cemetery

I watch Halloween

Oh no my Halloween Playlist is stuff like Siouxsie & The Banshees and .45 Grave lmao

jade holly
#

Who?

crisp heath

.45 Grave is the Deathrock for people who don't know much about Deathrock, they're pretty well known for turning up in horror comedy movies (Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demon remake) and have a couple songs that get a lot of live covers around Halloween (like Riboflavin)
