Also half the cosmetics in this game have skulls, its probably just a future release

#

Yes and thats a frame.

#

I'm talking about cosmetics

#

I like the idea of someone having a ration can so they lead the Ogryns to war.

#

NO

#

I dedicated 7 years of my life to that series

#

Never again

#

I played 2014-2021 and I called it quits

#

Take it back, 8 years

#

Played until 2022

#

The story just started to get lazy, the content got lazy, and comp/trials loop got boring

#

I got big into the comp scene in 2021 over distance learning

warm notch
#

when they sunsetted Hush

#

My favorite weapon

#

I lost all meaning

#

Especially since they removed GAMBIT NOW LIKE???

marsh berry
#

Prooobably not a lore question but I found another thing I don't recognise 👀

#

It doesn't look like any enemy in the Psykhanium and it ain't a servitor

celest dome
#

It's the same green liquids the rager/mutant/Spawn have

#

Somzwhat made me think of a Biophagus but that's not it

#

Maybe it's going to be a new enemy unit ? I'd doubt but hopefully

#

Remember to stop your ogryn squadmate from trying the 'eretic juice

#

At least too much

thas like the biggest waste of time shit book ive ever sene

warm notch
#

Do any items found during inquisitional operations belong to the inquisition/inquisitor?

storm jungle
#

Its more just military/warband dicipline

#

same reason IRL troops cant just yoink shit they find the field

#

What if its corrupted items, or drugs, or non-regulation gear, etc

#

stuff that will make people lax and lose cohesion

queen laurel
#

If you're going to take something from the field it has to be important to the war effort basically

#

recoverable military equipment and weapons for example

storm jungle
#

Yeah and Morrow for example notes on it when you find that abandoned Leman Russ etc

queen laurel

#

Masozi seems to be on cozy terms with the rest of the highers up

#

(Or that’s bias because she’s also an announcer)

viral halo
queen laurel
#

Something I would directly report to the inquisition

queen laurel
#

even trains other valkyries

arctic talon
#

She’s the flight captain

#

Of the warband

warm notch
#

Oh is that it

#

That makes sense actually

storm jungle
#

OH RIGHT

#

SHE HAS A RANK

#

AND NOT JUST "Pilot"

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

I FORGOT

arctic talon
warm notch
#

It’s probs best not to question it

arctic talon
#

But

storm jungle
#

also valkries are not just fighting vehicles

#

they are transport

#

its her job

arctic talon
#

^

#

A Valkyrie shouldn’t be dog fighting

viral halo
#

I wish the game let us play as the pilot

odd tulip
#

Honestly valks are pretty butts at actual fighting. There's an ocean of aircraft better suited to combat. The valk is a mainstay purely because you can cram 15 guardsmen in the back

warm notch
#

Honestly Masozi is such a cool name

#

I love her personality and her in game look

arctic talon
#

Her helmet is neat

warm notch
#

We need to see their in game models somewhere on the Mourningstar

#

If there’s one thing I want most of all is for more social areas on the Mourningstar

arctic talon

Or 4 humans

#

We had to ban a guy 2 days ago because he was going nuts about Masozi/Hallowette while being pretty racist

#

"THEY ARE SO ANNOYING I WISH THEY'D DIE"

#

along with them being "woke" 💀

queen laurel
#

i love this guy

#

I don't visit his place a lot but man his voice lines are fun

warm notch
#

If anyone would be “annoying” I can see why people would get annoyed by Hadron or Hallowette’s personality

#

But Masozi???

queen laurel
#

If I find an annoying character in fiction I remember that it's an annoying character in fiction

#

just ignore it

warm notch
#

By god he’s right

arctic talon
#

Mesozi has a few voicelines I find annoying but

odd tulip
arctic talon
#

She’s great

#

I don’t dislike any of characters overall

#

There’s a few lines I don’t like but shrugpriest

queen laurel
#

Even if I hate the character so much I just ******* ignore it in the first place because I can hate more things efficiently

odd tulip
#

I like Masozi because she treats us as 5% more human than the rest of the mission providers do

arctic talon
#

She’s the nicest out of all of them

warm notch
arctic talon
#

She’s also betting on our survival

#

Regularly lol

#

Which is pretty funny

odd tulip
warm notch
#

But I imagine that having Gallows Humor is essential to operate so frequently in the Imperium

arctic talon
#

She’s by far the like

queen laurel
#

Krall is Goated

arctic talon
#

Most positive about our chances

#

Lol

queen laurel
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

Krell does flesh work

#

Lol

queen laurel
#

Based on history where barbers used to be surgeons too on the side

#

but of course that practice got you know banned

warm notch
#

I wonder why

arctic talon
#

Lol

radiant lance
arctic talon
#

Also mesozi saying it could get worse for the rejects, by her being with them

#

Is really funny

radiant lance
#

I found her annoying at first but she grew on me

arctic talon
#

Hallowette is annoying

#

But she’s meant to be like

#

An abrasive asshole

radiant lance
#

Tsundere

arctic talon
#

Lol

warm notch
#

🥺

odd tulip
#

Veteran professional gets a line where he talks about how, in Hallowettes mind, we're really just renting the stuff we buy from her- because eventually we'll die, and then she can resell it all later. It's a nice look into her character

arctic talon
#

I wonder how she’s scraping the gear off of warband members

arctic talon
#

Who’s her insider lol

warm notch
#

Bribery.

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

So getting new sets would be already kind of a hassle so just recycle the dead ones

arctic talon
#

A chunk of the commadores vestament cosmetics

queen laurel
#

No one would care their rejects

arctic talon
#

Are from members of the warband

#

Who are probably dead now

odd tulip
arctic talon
#

Or they’re just like

#

Not lore wise what she sells

arctic talon
#

Could be that as well

warm notch
arctic talon
#

But

warm notch
#

Like

arctic talon
#

Plenty of dead already

warm notch
#

At that point there's like no excuse not to be nice to people?

arctic talon
#

If lore wise

queen laurel
#

No one would know that armor plate is from another veteran after you repair the holes and clean it up a bit

warm notch
#

Even if you want to sell them something

arctic talon
#

She is selling the dead warband members gear

radiant lance
#

If this were RimWorld, we'd have a huge mood debuffa for the tainted clothes

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

All our clothes are prolly tainted

#

I highly doubt our armor is fresh

queen laurel
#

And we always hit a lot of pox walkers

arctic talon
#

Yeah that also lol

#

Imagine washing the equipment we use

queen laurel
#

So the best we can do is clean our gear with like cleaning equipment

arctic talon
#

And sanitizing it

queen laurel
#

i'm not gonna even think about it

warm notch
arctic talon
#

Very most likely lol

#

Or it’s been retrofitted

#

To be much more in-depth

warm notch
#

It kinda has to be cuz we regularly deal with diseased corpses

arctic talon
#

Don’t want any nurgle corruption seeping in

#

Hell

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

We could straight up dispose all our armor

#

Inbetween missions

#

The cloth, flak and metal prolly isn’t looking great after a mission

queen laurel
#

Yeah most of them would probably be unsalvageable

radiant lance
#

I'm subscribed to the theory that Grendyl is a powerful psyker who uses their powers to keep us from being corrupted

warm notch
#

That's just a theory

#

A GameTheory

radiant lance
#

I learned about the deep warp theory today

#

I'm hoping GW pokes at it without diverging everything

green loom
#

They won''t

#

Weshammer just read too much dark heresy KEKW_ogryn

verbal path
soft thunder
# warm notch I wonder why

the doctors on pirate ships were usually the barber as well. contrary to the Disney pirates, most were clean-shaven or sported mustaches. So the surgeon/doctor had the most steady hands to hand razors. Still very sharp and dangerous to get a clean shave back then. I assume that's a lot of doctors also barbers on the side, steady hands and razors and all.

shrug

He even has the HAIR

#

That's nasty business

storm jungle
#

THE SIDE-SWEPT ADOLF HAIR NOOOO

crisp heath
#

I was asking becuase if GW was ever to make Wahammer 40k More progressiive then the Death Spectres would be the first to go or turn traitor.

storm jungle

and they arent going anywhere

they got their stupid "breeding worlds"

Highly recommend watcher in the rain

#

Warhammer horror and warhammer crime

#

Are some of the most enjoyable 40K books

#

Because it’s benign stuff regarding what would occur in setting

viral halo
#

I need that Warhammer crime stuff in my life

#

is it a full book or short stories?

arctic talon
#

Multiple books

#

For warhammer crime

I think they're called hate crimes now

🤨

For warhammer crime

#

Read any yet?

#

I'm always looking to consume more books

queen laurel
#

I have 9 ork related books i bought just lying around

#

i only read one so far

arctic talon
#

For crime King of the Spoil is good imo

#

Same with flesh and steel

#

Bloodlines as well

#

No good Men is good from what I’ve heard

#

Grim repast is prolly the worst of the bunch but it’s still good imo

crisp heath
#

Is daemon angron taller then regular angron?

#

I know primarch are a few feet taller then custodes but I saw a book cover from the siege of terra and angron is TOWERING over these custodes

green loom
#

No just larger

#

I mean

#

Yes taller

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

He's got the beef

arctic talon
#

He can also make himself bigger

#

Like most greater daemons

crisp heath
#

Possibly not to scale but man this cover makes him look massive

#

Looks like the custodes only come up to his hip

green loom
#

Think his model is larger than that

storm jungle
#

yeah its a lot bigger

crisp heath
#

Gawdamn

storm jungle
#

Also don forget the fucking

#

world eater codex cover

crisp heath
#

I thought they were only like 2 feet taller then custodes

green loom
#

Post full cover art plz @storm jungle

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

True

storm jungle
winter vessel
#

Yeah, Lorgar “saved” Angron from being killed by Guiliman by giving him some of that Chaos Juice

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

Gawdamn

storm jungle
#

HES CAUSING A FUCKING SKULL AVALANCHE

crisp heath
#

Now I understand how this man benched an imperial knight

arctic talon
#

Angron in his current form is prolly the physically strongest thing alive

#

Actually that’s a lie

#

Bio titans exist

#

But he’s up there

green loom
crisp heath
#

Laughing god would make one of his harlequins stronger then angron for a second just to fuck with him

arctic talon
#

Lol

# storm jungle

It’s amazing, but I keep giggling on how goofy this guy looks. He really picked the shortest straw of his conversion to the Blood god.

storm jungle
#

thats when people say Khorne doesnt give you mutations

arctic talon
#

Shit mutation ngl

#

Axe isn’t even facing the right way

winter vessel
#

He ain’t getting through that unless he turns sideways

queen laurel
#

look at him he is screaming in pain

green loom
#

They're there for the world eaters to use them as improvised weapons

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

If world eaters get a book

#

I hope a few of these codex cover characters are in it

#

Even if they have no name

crisp heath
#

So who’s the next primarch to come back to beat the shit out of angron and why is it the Khan?

#

Poor whitescars

storm jungle
#

Its Leman

winter vessel
#

Lemon

crisp heath
#

Nooo

storm jungle
#

we need to think about what chapter makes the most money

#

thats who they'll bring back

crisp heath
#

Have leman save isha

storm jungle
#

Ultras and Dark Angels are out

crisp heath
#

That piece of lore makes me sad

molten swan
#

Dorn, leave the furries alone thumbsup_ogryn

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

Isha should get rescued by her own faction

arctic talon
#

^

storm jungle
#

not another fucking primarch

#

💀

green loom
#

We'll see Leman and then probably an updated Sanguinor

arctic talon
#

Eldar are also the only known non chaos faction

#

To have breached the garden

crisp heath
#

I feel like isha being the tree of life leman is chasing woulda been cool

arctic talon

It did not go well

If you were wondering

#

There's our tree of life

crisp heath
#

Leman RKOing mortarian while the elves seal team 6 rescue isha

#

Empy also did some shenanigans in nurgles garden, burnt part of it down or something

crisp heath
#

“He’s got the steel chair!”

green loom
#

Many such cases

green loom
#

But unironically this time since this shit happens whenever the stupid garden gets mentioned

arctic talon
#

He got let in by Mortarion

#

Bcs Mortarion is a dumbass

crisp heath
#

Many such cases

winter vessel
#

And stinky

storm jungle
#

Mortarion also got killed like

#

10 times in lore

#

fucking loser

arctic talon
#

He’s a loser

molten swan
#

hes a daemon they cant really die, but yes, he stinks

crisp heath
#

The one who rescues isha is fucking trazen

arctic talon
#

💀

crisp heath
#

He doesn’t have an eldar god in his collection

arctic talon
#

No

#

He has a harlequin solitaire

winter vessel
#

For such a cool design, yeah Morty’s bit of a loser

arctic talon
#

And aspect warriors

crisp heath
#

Are aspect the one khaine dudes?

storm jungle
#

Nah

#

well kinda

arctic talon
#

Aspect warriors vary

crisp heath
#

I heard the avatar of khaine gets ragdolled a lot for some reason

arctic talon
#

Also the craftworld eldar in general

storm jungle
#

Aspect Warriors are basically as the name implies aspects of Khaine, they all specialize in a single form of warfare.

This was before Primaris stole their schtick

arctic talon
#

Venerate khaine

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Heh

crisp heath
#

Wouldn’t that also be venerating khorne?

arctic talon
#

No

storm jungle
#

Nah

arctic talon
#

Khaine and khorne aren’t the same

storm jungle
#

Eldar got their own war god

crisp heath
#

Right but they both want you doing the same thing

#

Making war

molten swan
#

it probably helps khorne a bit by proxy but who knows how that cross works

storm jungle
#

yeah that

crisp heath
storm jungle
#

but mostly its Khaine

#

because hes not dead

#

just

#

shattered

crisp heath
#

I know the feeling

storm jungle
#

same bro

💀

arctic talon
#

💀

crisp heath
#

Caphias Cain bumbling into the garden or nurgle and flirting with isha

#

Love that silly guy

arctic talon
#

But the craftworld eldar hold that war obsessed culture aspect

#

The dark elves had in WHF

crisp heath
#

I was wondering one thing about elves

viral halo
#

Man I forgot how fucking cool Eldar are

arctic talon
#

In fantasy?

crisp heath
#

Eldar

#

So elves are super buffed thanks to the eye of terror expanding across the galaxy

storm jungle
#

Oh no they arent

crisp heath
#

Thought they got a buff to their warp magic

arctic talon
#

They can’t flex their psychic muscles as much as they want to

#

Because then slaanesh is going to fucking kill then

storm jungle
#

Yeah eldar have always been mega-OP psychic powers wise, they just dont use it as much

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

Wow, that’s just kinda sad

queen laurel
#

you are slowly definitely losing your sanity

green loom
#

Yeah everyone else's middling psyker powers got boosted but are slightly more volatile
Eldar were already tough as nails psykers wise but now shit's dangerous

arctic talon
#

Only eldar that really use their powers unrestrained are like

storm jungle
#

theres no use for a boost

arctic talon
#

Eldrad lol

#

But Eldrad knows he’s a dead man walking

crisp heath
#

Is eldrad the elders super nerd wizard?

storm jungle
#

Yep

arctic talon
#

He’s probably the third strongest Psyker in the setting

crisp heath
#

And how does he compare with the imperium super nerd wizard

arctic talon
#

Or 2nd

storm jungle
#

depends

crisp heath
#

That’s the one I’m wondering yeah

arctic talon
#

In art and in codex’s he can at times match magnus’s power

crisp heath
#

Well chaos’s wizard now

arctic talon
#

But magnus is a jobber sometimes

#

Lol

crisp heath
#

But you know

storm jungle
#

he could put up with Magnus ye

arctic talon
#

He’s also turning into crystal

green loom
arctic talon
#

So he’s starting to slow down a bit

crisp heath
#

Magnus being stupid is sad

arctic talon
#

In regards to physical strength

crisp heath
#

But fuck is he scary

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

Snaps you’re fleet into the warp

arctic talon
#

Eldrad is also like the least xenophobic eldar we know of

crisp heath
#

Book over

storm jungle
green loom
#

Like Abaddon in fall of cadia

#

Level headed and horrifyingly calculated the entire book

#

Gets stalled by a space wolf making faces

crisp heath
#

Yeah I’m wondering if Magnus was like smart and all together I think only Corvus could be the only guy to get in range to kill him of the brothers

#

Funny invisible man

#

Or the khan I guess

#

Otherwise just the sky erupts into infinite fireballs

storm jungle
#

Like I said

#

unfortunately when a loyalist gets near him

#

he goes "Im gonna turn my brain off now"

#

when he can just wave his fucking hand

#

and blow you up

#

but doesnt

crisp heath
#

Tragic

storm jungle
#

^ literally this

#

lmao

crisp heath
#

Inverts gravity

#

Sends you to space

Very sad cause Magnus is kinda cool

storm jungle

#

its why its annoying lmao

arctic talon
#

Magnus got deus ex machina’d

#

By khorne

crisp heath
#

I feel like of the sons though emperor would forgive Magnus last, cause Magnus did everything wrong

#

The silly guy

storm jungle
#

hes just a lil guy

#

he didnt wanna hurt anyone

#

trust me

crisp heath
#

Hmm

arctic talon

#

There’s a part where ignorance becomes malicious lol

Oh yeah when one of the Magnus wizards dies can they make more or are they just permanently missing a soldier?

Those are the flesh ones right?

arctic talon
#

No

crisp heath

Not the dust in armor

arctic talon

Those are the dust ones

crisp heath
#

What happens when a flesh one dies

arctic talon
#

The dust ones get resummoned into armor

Assuming they don’t have Failsafes

#

Actually that’s the lion

spare osprey
#

more specifically lion son of the forest

dusk patrol
#

Using Huge Weaving for any elf is cheating

#

He looks like all fantasy elves.

dusk patrol
#

All elves look the same, its so hard telling those knife ear guys apart, and I should know, because I have an elf friend.

#

He's one of the good ones though don't worry.

storm jungle
#

Damn sounds kinda familiar

crisp heath
#

I'd rank the big psykers as:

  1. Emperor
    2.Eldrad
  2. Magnus
  3. Swarmlord
storm jungle
#

Oh yeah Swarmlord was a psyker

#

IM GLAD IT FORGETS THAT

#

EVERY TIME IT FIGHTS SOMEONE

lapis wadi
#

Big Brain Bugs

storm jungle
#

I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive

queen laurel
lapis wadi
#

brain throbbing noises

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

Swarmlord is a brutal psyker, he paralyzed 2 companies of space marines once and still had psyker juice left to bully the captain. Very convenient he likes to play fair and doesn't do that all the time.

storm jungle
#

Hes such a good psyker he made himself forget he was a psyker

#

now thats some serious shit

queen laurel
lapis wadi
#

That sounds like a weird way for a psyker to gain psychic-immunity

queen laurel
#

both being just used as plot devices to prove something is cool

storm jungle
#

YEP

#

its the same with angron

#

people were like

#

"Oh he can return in 8 days OH NO"

#

Meanwhile we all knew

#

that means he just can get his ass kicked more

crisp heath
#

I also like how the Norn Emissaries are 50 foot tall kaiju spewing toxic spores and demolishing the sanity of anyone who has a weak will for 50 miles around

lapis wadi
#

How many times does Angron and a Kaine fragment meet and double-KO off-screen

crisp heath
#

And it's an assassin

storm jungle
#

Khaine has an entire list

#

Angron a bit less so because he was not relevant in lore for like a decade

#

but he got his ass kicked like 4-5 times iirc

crisp heath
#

I will say though I went through a list of every fight The Swarm Lord has been in and he either wins or critically injures his opponent most times, so it's not really Avatar of Khaine level yet

storm jungle
#

yeah its mostly because the people he kills are nobodies

crisp heath
#

Even Dante technically died during his fight, he just got primarch'd

arctic talon
#

Avatar of khaine, angron and swarmlord competing

#

To be the best punching bag

crisp heath
#

Calgar really saw a 15 foot tall dinosaur bug spewing toxins, weilding blades the size of a man, and casting a psychic aura of insanity for miles around and said "I'm going to hit it with my sword"

lapis wadi
#

"I'm an Ultramarine, how bad could it be?"

several limbs later

So I played a norsca playthrough in tw3 (I’m terrible at it) and was wondering how does the fitness of a norscan warrior compare to a future guardsmen

#

Kronos hardcounters chaos is a bit problematic statement for me. It's a splinter of leviathan specialized to fight chaos fuckery. It doesn't mean they can win in any circumstances and it also doesn't mean leviathan isn't capable of fighting chaos

#

In general bugs are already advantageous over them. No mind to corrupt and shadow in the warp is a huge handicap.

Daemons have no biomass but bulk of the forces in the chaos are cultists and csm with plenty of meat still on them

so apparently someone put a bunch of 40k aircraft in a wind tunnel, and the only things that can generate any lift are ork and tyranid fighters

When Ogryns don’t feel comfortable talking to Guardsmen, they’ll seek answers elsewhere, even if their sources are unreliable. And those who aren’t properly informed are at greater risk of engaging in unsafe behaviour and experimenting with heresy.

So, follow these simple steps when talking to your Ogryn:

Stay calm, even if they are showing signs of heresy. Ignore any anger they might be showing and use your words.***
Pick a good time to talk. If they are clubbing someone with their ripper gun, it’s NOT a good time.
Know their friends, talk with them too and ensure that they are also avoiding heretical thoughts.
Let them know you’re always there for them (unless you’re out claiming glory in the name of the Emperor, of course).
Reward them when they demonstrate good behaviour by issuing one (1) emblem from the Departmento Munitorum’s standard-issue Ogryn Adhesive Accolade Set.****

Salamanders – Official Fraternisation Activities

#

The Salamanders’ mastery of flamecraft makes them superbly suited for all manner of fireside activities. Why not tell stories of screaming heretics around a bonfire? We have provided you with one bag of sweetened chewable corpse-starch cylinders for roasting.

#

In the din of battle, friendly communication can be difficult. However, with our approved gestures, you’ll be able to continue fraternising with your fellow warriors even in the thickest of melees. Try (gently) tapping your knuckles to your Adeptus Astartes friend after a particularly impressive kill, or a Kinetic Sound-generating Mutual Salute.* Any “hugging” will be punished by flogging in light of regimental conduct guidelines surrounding good decorum and personal space.

I am looking for a TLDR regarding the birth of the chaos gods. Eldar created slanesh was khorne created during humanity's memery or was it the orks that created it

median marsh
#

The original Trio, Khorne Nurgle and Tzeentch awoke somewhere in middle ages iirc

celest dome
#

They were all created during the War in Heaven

celest dome
tulip brook
#

regardless of when they were born, they are timeless and they can influence events before that

#

just that their influence / power changes and coincidentally; pestilence, war, excess and political corruption is plenty in 40k not to mention direct gate to immaterium

storm jungle
#

thats just authors trying to do some eldritch time mumbo-jumbo.

that's how they justify same gods in 2 different settings and time discrepancies, if eldritch time mumbo jumbo works, good for them

And every author has their own dumb takes.

On top of warp fuckery, I'd imagine it'd be harder to get news of this especially since we're cut off from most of the imperium and can't get reinforcements and the lion is in the dark half

So it's just Fatshark doing the weird lore bombing thing that keeps happening in darktide imho
