[queen laurel]

Especially on higher difficulty

[storm jungle]

I knew the map was good the moment we deployed that breaching charge

[warm notch]

I love how wolfer and his cronies are extra announcers

[warm notch]

IK

I SAW THAT AND I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT

I WAS LIKE GJJEJDKFKGKG

[verbal path]

My favorite part was when the lights turned on

[hasty coral]

This is why your ranged weapon is meant for DELETING EVERY SPECIAL

[verbal path]

No more Darktide

[storm jungle]

Also FYI the charge damages you

[verbal path]

Only Tide

[storm jungle]

so keep your distance

[queen laurel]

Bro watching his subordinates avoid his anger was funny

[warm notch]

Ikr

[verbal path]

Only toughness damage at least

[crisp heath]

Does it really lol?

[hasty coral]

Expect more of this good stuff

[queen laurel]

Like they are doing their best not to get their heads blown off

[warm notch]

Pushes you back

[storm jungle]

yeah but as Steel said its not a lot

[hasty coral]

Fatshark realize their game has major steam

I mean Vermintide also did

[verbal path]

It fully wiped our toughness

[hasty coral]

Like they need to realize there is a GIANT MARKET for this type of game

[crisp heath]

... like it should have a year ago?

[hasty coral]

Melee l4d

Literally untapped

[warm notch]

I want the feeling of walking across the roofs of large cities like in vermintide

[hasty coral]

Real

[queen laurel]

Yeah the charge damages you

Source: i took the explosion point blank with my face

[verbal path]

Step 1. Stand right at the breaching charge
Step 2. Pop Vet shout
Step 3. Charge

The enemy will be disoriented by the blast but you'll be full toughness again

[dense salmon]

Just darktide thingsn

[hasty coral]

Smartest Bulgur decision

[dense salmon]

Walk off a breaching charge explosion

[verbal path]

There's also a ton of long Las laying around

Lemme grab one

[nocturne crest]

Do you think the Shotlas will turn up at some point?

[verbal path]

Doubt it

[nocturne crest]

Damn, I'm bad for shotguns right now.

[arctic talon]

The new dialogue is pretty funny

from Wolfer and his Mobeian Adjutants

[queen laurel]

Miss Brahms and Hadron both having sass to each other

It's f****** funny

[arctic talon]

also in other news

4 equals 50

[storm jungle]

lmao

thats fucking funny

[arctic talon]

the ending sequence for that mission has a friendly valkyrie drop off a bunch of guys as well 💀

[wet sandal]

I got the same but "platoon strength" 💀

I pull up with a 4-man platoon

[arctic talon]

Tbf

With how many scabs you kill in that arena

That’s prolly a good excuse lol

[storm jungle]

That basically confirms how elite we are though

so uh

so much for being "fodder"

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Fodder no longer

Lol

[storm jungle]

YUP

gonna save this

[arctic talon]

But it’s fucking hilarious

There’s like

Over 100 scabs spawned

In that portion of the mission on damnation

[storm jungle]

also love all the lore they are dropping

knowing they got psykers is cool

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[marsh berry]

Does this mean our power level is canon

[arctic talon]

Something like that I guess lol

[marsh berry]

Like that Fire Warrior book

[arctic talon]

guess the Rejects are

absolutely fucking derranged

slaughtering lunatics

[storm jungle]

yeah its almost important to consider you are armed to the teeth

[arctic talon]

also somehow fast enough

[storm jungle]

and got custom equipment

and abilities

[arctic talon]

to avoid being detected lol

[storm jungle]

the regular PDF aint got shit

[arctic talon]

The moebians are complaining

about how they can't keep track of you

💀

[storm jungle]

they should have uh

used a radar gun

💀

https://tenor.com/view/macron-radar-france-speed-vitesse-gif-5175498271675221179

[arctic talon]

Wolfer and the Twins design goes hard ngl

[green loom]

Ok time to play some

[marsh berry]

Playable Scab class when Fat Shark

[arctic talon]

Veteran literally crying rn

lol

[green loom]

You just need weapon customization to remove the sight and you're now a scab

[tough flicker]

anyone have a good youtube video where i can get the short not sleepy version of 40k lore?

[outer wave]

That's the kind of look that tells me that they want freedom and prosperity

[crisp heath]

Lol... alright but like... look. The average player dies. Especially in the amphitheater. That hoe goes on forever it feels like. But like, if we add in player deaths as other "people" lol. If we de gamify it, we might actually be a whole platoon or so on.

[outer wave]

Skulls, spiky bits, ominous helmets

[crisp heath]

But yea ill give up kn the cannon fodder stuff lolz

[arctic talon]

There’s actually a bunch of dead people around already

So it’s clear you weren’t the first team lol

[crisp heath]

Or this

[arctic talon]

One of them died outside the amphitheater

And there’s a few more scattered about

[storm jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/@ArbitorIan

Arbitrator Ian is probably the best, no memes, no dragged out explanation, just good visuals and a nice presenter.

[crisp heath]

I just don't like the idea of some random prison barge rejects suddenly becoming the best fighters in the imperium short of supersoldiers... just feels wierd

[arctic talon]

Faith

Steel

[outer wave]

And gunpowder

[arctic talon]

Wait wrong setting

[crisp heath]

And all the other non prison barge rejects with years more training then us are just... what? Chopped liver?

[outer wave]

No no it works

[arctic talon]

No prolly not

There’s multiple dif teams

[green loom]

And not racist!

[outer wave]

Id imagine those other teams dealt with even more folks than we deal with even on the highest difficulties, plus videa gaem

[arctic talon]

You can see background NPCs that were existing members of the warband

Survive

[green loom]

I mean we're not really random prisoners

Veterans are..

[arctic talon]

Like there’s also

[green loom]

Veterans

Ogryns also

[crisp heath]

Yea... when yall told me about that it was a sad day...

[tough flicker]

thanks

[crisp heath]

I actually really liked him and didn't know that stuff

[green loom]

Like all our player chars are pretty seasoned in beating shit up

And ended up on the Tancred Bastion through various Bs ways

[crisp heath]

Ian is great though for sure

[dense salmon]

The rejects are pretty decently high profile

[arctic talon]

But you can see the like

Other warband members

[dense salmon]

Which would explain why we were put in prison and not field executed

[arctic talon]

Most of the attrition seems to be via like

The rejects lol and the pdf

That aren’t the player characters

[dense salmon]

I assume the dead ogryn we see in some missions were part of other reject strike teams

[crisp heath]

Same

And also, always so sad

[tough flicker]

what

[green loom]

Game time

[dense salmon]

He's referring to the majorkill discord leak

[crisp heath]

Major kill and his racism in his discord

Yea...

[dense salmon]

While I don't think majorkill is racist, the messages are in extremely poor taste

[arctic talon]

I think of the rejects it’s literally only our player characters

Who have like

Survived lol

[dense salmon]

Pretty much

And the ones we see in recurring cutscenes

[arctic talon]

So of the thousands + on board that prison ship

[crisp heath]

I don't think so either, but at the same time I don't care how aussie you are, that was way too much

[arctic talon]

It’s like 21 guys

[crisp heath]

Most of it seemed facetious but still fucking gross

[arctic talon]

Who lived

[arctic talon]

Yeah those are existing warband members mostly

But there’s a few

[dense salmon]

The missions we're sent on are genuine suicide missions

We kill a few thousand enemies per mission

[crisp heath]

Lol especially from a lore standpoint

What we do is absolutely bonkers

[arctic talon]

Yeah we

Should not be surviving lol

But we are MAIN CHARACTERS

[green loom]

To be frank

Who cares

[crisp heath]

Lol big facts, it's what makes it fun

But recognizing how insane we are can also be fun

[arctic talon]

No one but it’s funny to think about

[tough flicker]

thx

[gritty glade]

Bricky has done so much for the 40K community, it's insane

We are so lucky to have him

[green loom]

DUDE

NEW VET FEELS GREAT

[dense salmon]

I need to give it a try

Sadly I am at work

What's your build?

[wet sandal]

No, you must read at least 60 books before your opinion counts (real)

[dense salmon]

Imagine swinging an axe/sword thousands of times over the course of half an hour

You'd have some thick ass shoulders

[arctic talon]

That’s sweet

[ripe mango]

respect elder

[nocturne crest]

inb4 there is a valentine themed mission

[arctic talon]

Setting up a date for Hallowette and melk

💀

[nocturne crest]

Need to get Hallowette and Melk some wine, candles and flowers.

[dense salmon]

A fine vintage amasec

[nocturne crest]

Could be Darktide's version of the drunk mission.

[dense salmon]

Honestly a mission where we just steal amasec from admonition would be funny

[dense salmon]

I personally wouldn't drink anything near chaos though

[green loom]

Mostly right tree lol

[nocturne crest]

What about a mission where the rejects leave by chimera or leman russ instead of by Valkyrie?

[dense salmon]

Infiltration enjoyer

Btw i got another 530 score kantrael lol

More or less just as good as the one I deleted by mistake

The perks are slightly worse though

[celest dome]

I mean there was a datamined valentine frame

[arctic talon]

Lol the human heart

Is pretty fun

[nocturne crest]

Valentine's day mission here we come. Going to be Cupid and flirt with everyone.

[dense salmon]

Imagine we need to escort a cherub or something

[winter vessel]

it wouldn't be out of pocket, the missions the imperium's finest take can be ridiculous.

[nocturne crest]

Would someone have to carry the Cherub?

[celest dome]

Nah they fly

Creepy ass baby

[outer wave]

Thought you said crispy ass for a sec

[dense salmon]

The veteran has a line about being assigned to latrine digger for the tempestus scions

[marsh berry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1538tul/portrait_frame_manufactorum_ftshrk_to_this_day/

[celest dome]

After I'm done with my Flamer they might

[nocturne crest]

Wait, has the Imperium ever weaponised a Cherub before?

[winter vessel]

anything for the glory of the god-emperor i suppose

[marsh berry]

The amount of frames that we don't have / never got is wild

[drowsy mulch]

Poxbusters juggling people in maelstrom

[celest dome]

That we will get in the future

[green loom]

Okay I'm very pleased with the new stuff

[celest dome]

Rarely, as they are much more expensive and much less effective then Servo Skulls

[marsh berry]

I can only hope

[celest dome]

Wrong channel -> #darktide-pics-vids

[celest dome]

Hope what ?

[marsh berry]

That we get all those frames

I need all the AdMech rep I can get

[dense salmon]

Psyker inquisitors sometimes use them as psychic proxies

[celest dome]

Oh that well maybe not all of them, but a lot

[marsh berry]

and grinding 250 Espionage is doing my nut in

[winter vessel]

one way of putting it I guess.

[arctic talon]

Admech moment

[crisp heath]

So angron had help from khorne and ||shattered a planet|| and was wondering if lorgar got that level of divine intervention too or is that stuff reserved only for chaos chosen

[arctic talon]

Lorgar isn’t active rn

So we don’t know

[warm notch]

Wait Brahms actually has voicelines now

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[warm notch]

Finally

Can't wait to see where the story goes from here

Obese Megalodon is really cooking

[celest dome]

She is a Vocator

Making it 1 enemy Vocator and 7 Mourningstar Vocator ?

[dense salmon]

Lorgar is busy meditating

[celest dome]

Morrow, Zola, Melk, Hallowette, Hadron and Brahm

[dense salmon]

He might make a reappearance soon

Some people think abaddon will be killed and replaced by lorgar as the big bad

Lorgar was never very impressive though

[arctic talon]

Doubt abbadon is getting killed

Anytime soon

He’s pretty popular

Despite all the memes

[dense salmon]

Yeah

Mortarion is out of commission

So there's room for lorgar there

[crisp heath]

That’s the ship captain right?

Brahms

They introduced her to be so cool then nothing

[dense salmon]

Yes, the shipmistress of the mourning star

[arctic talon]

She’s busy doing her own stuff most likely

She’s a rogue trader

She’s prolly trying to extract whatever money she can out of this operation

[crisp heath]

Thought that would be Hallow lol

[dense salmon]

She's probably getting a handsome payout from the inquisition

[crisp heath]

She is after my wallet

[arctic talon]

Hallowette works for Brahms

Tbf

[crisp heath]

Ah

[arctic talon]

It’s why she’s so brazen

In her many many uh

Intresting choices

Mostly stealing from the dead, illegal imports

Ect.

[storm jungle]

I mean shes just a side character

I got no idea what people want from these characters at this point

[crisp heath]

She was the main narrator from the trailer

[storm jungle]

I mean yeah but thats not really a super important role

Morrow does more narrating than most of these people

[crisp heath]

I’m not like upset about it just expected more

[arctic talon]

Inb4 she starts selling plasteel

[dense salmon]

I wouldn't mind buying plasteel

[storm jungle]

I look forward to people hating Brahms

because uhhh

opens 40k fandom checklist

• Woman

• Tells me what to do

[arctic talon]

Is an asshole

(Probably)

We’re guests on board her ship technically lol

[dense salmon]

Why doesn't the barber give us a mission???

[warm notch]

Who isn't tbh

[arctic talon]

Zola isn’t bad

Neither is mesozi

[dense salmon]

I like the cast of darktide

[arctic talon]

She bets on our survival most of the time anyways lol

[dense salmon]

She's the only NPC at immediate risk

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[dense salmon]

And she politely waits for everyone

[arctic talon]

She’s a veteran pilot

And it shows in how laid back she is

About the shitstorms she picks you up from

[dense salmon]

Favorite song from the OST?

[arctic talon]

Data interference

Or immortal imperium

[green loom]

Hmm

Imperial Advance/Main theme

Also entering throneside

[eternal ledge]

So lore question for a Wrath and Glory game I'm going to run.
Can a Inquisitor find an unsanctioned Psyker and reform them into their retinue?

[arctic talon]

Yes

In fact

All the playable psykers in darktide are most likely unsanctioned

[crisp heath]

What level of pysker is a darktide pysker

[dense salmon]

Mine is rejects unite or imperial advance

But every song is amazing

I would like disposal unit more if it wasn't over in 45 seconds lol

[tall hinge]

There's people who would pay money for that tbf. Just as much simping as there is hate in that regard

[stray bluff]

Can a female Zealot Reject be recruited into the Adepta Sororitas

[dense salmon]

Probably epsilon, maybe delta if we're generous

So either just below or barely primaris

[tall hinge]

Repentia

[tulip brook]

epsilon if you think about lore, delta if you look at gameplay

[arctic talon]

Too old

Adepta sororitas wants children and teens

Not adults

[verbal path]

Absolutely.

[stray bluff]

Damn i will just head canon my fem zealot as a hardcore fan/wannabe then

[celest dome]

Could have her as a Lower Ordo sister whose Order was disbanded

[dense salmon]

We're inquisition assets in any case

[tulip brook]

zealots are untrained, even a lower ordo sister would be in a better position initially

[celest dome]

We live and die in the employ of the Inquisition

[dense salmon]

Being an inquisition tool has a myriad of benefits

We get pretty stellar gear and very likely will be given rejuvenate to stay in our physical prime for centuries (if we live that long)

[stray bluff]

So the lvl 30 cutscene, we are apart of the Inquisition military arm?

Sorry im learning lore

[tall hinge]

Pretty much. We're pulled out of reject status and inducted into the ground ranks of the Inquisition.

[dense salmon]

We're inquisition aspirants

[snow fern]

We officially become a member of the Inquisition, of the lowest rank, but still

[dense salmon]

The bottom of the pecking order, but an official part of the ordo hereticus

We're functionally little more than do-boys

But there's room for vertical movement 🙂

[snow fern]

Least we don’t gotta wear bomb collars anymore (sorry psykers)

[stray bluff]

Hey compared to where we were at the beginning

On death row

Rannick scares me

[storm jungle]

Nah, the only people into that are the weirdos that are into Hadron.

[stray bluff]

How did he figure out the traitor

[tall hinge]

Why you outing me like that?

[snow fern]

Inquisitors are good sniffers (or at least they claim they are)

[storm jungle]

By extensive interrogation and his inquisitive skills.

||Aka the fucking fact that she was at EVERY crime scene||

Truly he is the best among us

[dense salmon]

The choice was either us or her lol

[snow fern]

Although I think Rannik is an interrorgator not an inquisitor

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes an interrogator

says so as much when you meet him

[snow fern]

Been a minute since I saw the levelling cinematics

[tall hinge]

Kind of funny in the Ogryn cutscene when she has the smirk thinking that she fooled an Interrogator into thinking that an Ogryn was the traitor.

[dense salmon]

Zola is a step beneath him as the explicator

[stray bluff]

An interrogator is inquisitor-in-training right

[snow fern]

Need more fluff pieces in this game

[snow fern]

Basically the step below yes

[stray bluff]

Lmao

[arctic talon]

Based hadron hating free time

Average tech priest

[stray bluff]

Lmao i love the subtitles

[grave sparrow]

my guess is he knew pretty much all along and was using the traitor to see what they were up to. He only lost a couple crew and a handful of convinct strike teams, he probably could track her signals to get locations/information

[tall hinge]

🦾

[dense salmon]

I forget the line but she has a genuinely confused inflection when she mentions the water cartels

[snow fern]

There’s one where the Loner Psyker argues with the subtitles over what they said, love that line.

[storm jungle]

yeah its important to remember Rannick's a piece of shit

[stray bluff]

My Ogryn is sucha good boi, kneels down every time a superior talks to him

[dense salmon]

Like she doesn't understand why someone would horde water

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Rannick sees everyone underneath him as disposable

Which

[stray bluff]

Jeez, breaking the 4th wall huh

[arctic talon]

Yeah I’m not suprised

[storm jungle]

Hadron also complains about the factorum being still instead of all the massacred workers you can see lining u pthe walls 💀

[celest dome]

More than usual future Inquisitor ?

[arctic talon]

Nah

About average lol

[tall hinge]

Has nothing to do with the camera framing demanding it, no sah

[arctic talon]

He’s a bit more callous regarding casualties arguably

But like

[snow fern]

There are sometimes actually half decent tech priests and inquisitors, even commissars too. But they prove an exception rather than the rule

[dense salmon]

People forget Hadron would have executed us for being late if she was given permission

[arctic talon]

Most tech priests are assholes

[storm jungle]

Yeee Interrogators tend to be uppity/arrogant assholes because their position comes with a lot of power even if you are the Inquisitor's head-lackey

[arctic talon]

To people not part of the cult mechanicus

[stray bluff]

Whos the nicest you know?

[arctic talon]

Interrogators suffer from the issue of like

[dense salmon]

They are very undermining of eachother as well

[arctic talon]

Arguably too much power

[dense salmon]

The mechanicus has about as much rivalry as the inquisition

[storm jungle]

Magos Faustinius from Mechanicus is a good example

[arctic talon]

Cares about his underlings

A lot

[snow fern]

Caiphus Cain is I suppose practical more than kind, but he’s decent. There’s a story about a magos that leads a forge world with like a great hospital and everything(kinda remember the source on that one) and I suck at names, but “radical” Inquisitors tend to be more caring

[tall hinge]

The lingua-technis has no words of courtesy.

[fast nest]

More specifically, arrogant and sociopathic

[arctic talon]

A resource to be spent carefully

Not to be wasted

[stray bluff]

Didnt the Inquisition started murky like, some dude walked into a high council and claimed mandate from Emperor

[snow fern]

Practicality is a rare quality in the 41st millennium

[tall hinge]

Okay but Faustinus is Dadeptus af

[arctic talon]

Malcador founded it

[snow fern]

No it was an investigative agency started by Big E’s best friend

[storm jungle]

yeah the Inquisition slowly snowballed into what it is now

[stray bluff]

God damn Malcador..

[median marsh]

the founding members of inquisition also had marines from legions that turned traitor iirc, because they remained loyal despite all odds

[dense salmon]

Malcador founded the assassinorum, the gray knights, the inquisition

What am I missing here

[arctic talon]

Knights errant yeah

[arctic talon]

Administratum

[crisp heath]

My favorite thing about the Inquistion is that there's an ordo tasked with discovering its origins and an ordo tasked with burying them

[dense salmon]

Malcador was a spy master

[snow fern]

Malcador is pretty chill, just didn’t live long enough to his agents not spiral

[stray bluff]

I have a feeling Big E’s gonna be big mad when he wakes

[dense salmon]

Intrigue was his mastery more than any other thing

[arctic talon]

He doesn’t care anymore

[median marsh]

remember Ordo Chronos casually erasing itself

[arctic talon]

He’s busy suffering

[median marsh]

[arctic talon]

They managed to come back from that lul

[stray bluff]

Man humanity is really at the brink in 40K

[median marsh]

local order erases itself from reality, restores itself afterwards

[dense salmon]

He was a very ruthless guy

[snow fern]

Yep, most of it is self inflicted too

[dense salmon]

And would have leaned into the authoritarianism

[arctic talon]

Malcador is more ruthless then the emperor arguably

[median marsh]

Malc didnt fuck around

[dense salmon]

Malcador would gleefully run a surveillance state

[arctic talon]

Also yeah malc is a fan of the

Boot on neck

[normal light]

You just saw it?

[dense salmon]

He also didn't have the sentimentality big e had for the primarchs

Malcador saw them purely as tools, where big E saw them as tools and his sons

[arctic talon]

The emperor may like totalitarianism

[stray bluff]

I wish for Emprah to wake up and right the wrongs

[arctic talon]

but malcador fucking loves it lol

[dense salmon]

Malcador is like bloodraven from ASOIAF

[celest dome]

Regardless of whether the Emperor saw the Primarch as his sons, he was a shit father

And Malcador treated them better

[snow fern]

Big E is too busy being a lighthouse and latch on the 2nd eye of terror to be alivd

[stray bluff]

Gotta say Darktide made me dive into the 40K world and i love it, rabbit holes into rabbit holes

[dense salmon]

Malcador was pretty nice to a few of them

Like alpharius

But others he wished he could euthanize

[normal light]

If he raises and sees what has happened, I would argue he will just demolish what remains

[median marsh]

i both love and hate 40k

[snow fern]

What is the larger lore behind Alpharius beyond, he has a twin, is short, and liked Horus

[median marsh]

hate as in everyone is geniunely awful

[stray bluff]

But Humanity

[normal light]

They are tools

[median marsh]

love because it has all the things i enjoy, corruption, gigantic hive minds and whatnot

[snow fern]

Cause the decent people are too small to matter, like Farsight or arguably some eldar factions

[normal light]

Humanity was given a chance in 40k and failed

[normal light]

Even Big E himself failed

[celest dome]

Humanity failed due to the Emperor

Not the other way around

[normal light]

With his dubious performance and plans

[normal light]

Well part after him being dead

Is mostly humanity part

[snow fern]

Man for the universe’s indisputably best psyker ever, Big E really lacked any skills in Divination.

[normal light]

But Big E made seeds for such failure

[storm jungle]

His greatest weakness was poor writing lmao

[dense salmon]

Divination is never guaranteed

[normal light]

That’s why you should join Chaos and Free yourself from Tyranny and Blinded Zealous Faith in the False Good

[stray bluff]

Its gotta be hard keeping a character consistent, what with the dozens of writers

[arctic talon]

Oh I just realized why Wolfer's armor only says "death to the false"

its above Emperor

which is engraved into his armor

[stray bluff]

That said who is #40k-lore-chat’s favourite writer?

[median marsh]

Wolfers new drip hits hard

[snow fern]

Sure time is fluid and all that, bur surely once he coulda realized telling his sons simple answers to their questions instead of, “just do as I told you too” woulda gone better

[stray bluff]

My jaw dropped at this cutscene, kudos to FS

[snow fern]

Like, tell Magnus, look, what I’m doing is realllllllly sensitive snd requires my full attention, I can not be interrupted even psychilly, okay, I’m sorry about that whole psyker ban thing, okay not really, but you guys keep becoming chaos spawn and that’s a problem

[storm jungle]

you forgot also:

"Hey guys I cant tell you about chaos because reasons"

a few books later the author tries to come up with an explanation

"OKAY SEE THIS WAS THE REASON WHY"

fuck off GW

[median marsh]

[snow fern]

Horus Heresy really is the darkest hour for 40k fans

[stray bluff]

I think Darktide is the best game representation of 40K right now (not alot of competition but still)

[storm jungle]

yeah Darktide is king

[stray bluff]

Maybe Space Marines 2 but we will see

[storm jungle]

SM2 will be good competition but will deffo burn out later down the line

[snow fern]

I like Owlcat’s writing and am excited for Rogue Trader in a few weeks

[median marsh]

Darktide gives a very good look at what Hives are like and i love it

[outer wave]

Im glad we're getting better 40k games tbh

[storm jungle]

People were calling Boltgun a Darktide killer and its peak playerbase was 5k players

💀

[outer wave]

Instead of mobile game jank

[median marsh]

[snow fern]

So much 40k mobile games like geez

[outer wave]

Well tbf it did kill Darktide by 3k for a few months probably

[dense salmon]

Boltgun is fun but its a boomer shooter

The people playing it would play ant boomer shooter

Like me

[storm jungle]

Bro poor Redfall, mfer died on release 💀

[stray bluff]

Well playerbase isn’t the end all be all… but nah DT > Boltgun

[median marsh]

i still hillarious how hard Redfall failed

well, not hillarious for the devs obviously but

[stray bluff]

No stop, you are lying

[median marsh]

man how did they look at it and say "yep, this looks like a banger"

[snow fern]

Oh we’re getting that Twisted Metal like but with orks too

[median marsh]

this year in general has had like a stream of games being fucking awful

Gollum
King Kong
redfall

[storm jungle]

KING KONG?

WHAT?

[snow fern]

Dont look it up

[crisp heath]

What is redfall

[median marsh]

oh you dont know?

King Kong got a game

[storm jungle]

[stray bluff]

But also great games like BG3/AC6

[median marsh]

where they literally put a jpeg of the final boss in a cutscene

[dense salmon]

They literally use a png for a cutscene

[storm jungle]

christ

[median marsh]

yeah a few really good hits too

[snow fern]

Vampire game that seems like Dead Island.
Made by Arkane studios, the people that made Thief and Dishonored but, geez it’s so bad compared to those

[median marsh]

i almost said starfield as a bad game but its more of a mid game than like, truly bad

[snow fern]

Starfield could be good if Bethesda could be bothered to improve their bare bones ass combat

[dense salmon]

Thank goodness for mods

[snow fern]

MODERN WARFARE?!?!?

[storm jungle]

MW3 was BAD

[median marsh]

Bethesda does what they do best, make great platforms for modders to build on top of while not actually finishing their bloody games

[snow fern]

How? Who paid the bribe money?!?!?

[dense salmon]

Triple A DLC

[storm jungle]

legıt

[dense salmon]

Can't even play it without mw2 installed

[storm jungle]

the campaign is just fucking Warzone maps

actual thieves

[median marsh]

lmao

[snow fern]

God and I thought Fifa fans were silly

CoD is a sports game confirmed

[dense salmon]

Im excited for that marathon extraction shooter

Im happy marathon is getting a new IP

[snow fern]

I don’t like Extraction Shooters tbh, and Destiny 2 didn’t leave a great impression on me either

I hope it’s good, but I’m gonna pass on it

[stray bluff]

Anyways i hope 40K gets more games in more genres (MOBA,MMO,RPG etc)

[snow fern]

No more mobas please

Let the genre die

I’ll take an rpg though, something more actiony than a crpg

[median marsh]

i should reinstal Dawn of War 2 with no limit mod and make my pc screech to a halt by pitting 3 orks vs 3 nids

or 3 IG vs 3 orks

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/interrupt-bo1-cat-connection-slow-gif-13736345

[stray bluff]

I knew this was coming but the setting really suits it if you think about it

[median marsh]

at some point the game just slows down because of sheer amount of shit happening

[stray bluff]

There was one called Eternal Crusade? Got cancelled sadly

[median marsh]

its glorious though, Dawn of War 2 had stellar sound design

you could hear distant engagements with radio chatter

Roars of tyranids coming through comms as your squads try to hold positions

[dense salmon]

Darktide really captures the setting of a hive city will

With no equal

[snow fern]

Did anyone play the necromunda game? The one based on tabletop not the doom 2016 clone

[dense salmon]

Even the music sounds like in-universe tunes

The heavy synth/Gothic sound is called "pound" in-universe

[stray bluff]

Sounds glorious, it was made in the 2000s correct?

[dense salmon]

Popular among hivers

[median marsh]

i really enjoy looking at small details, like living conditions in hab Dreyko

[dense salmon]

Spacehulk: deathwing is good for atmosphere too

But nowhere near as polished a game as darktide

[median marsh]

2009 was when DoW2 came out

[stray bluff]

Somehow RTS doesnt appeal to me, i have APM in the single digits

[median marsh]

Spacehulk had amazing environments but everything else was..mediocre at best

sadly

[dense salmon]

I grew up with starcraft

[median marsh]

DoW2 was on smaller scale generally but had some really cool things

like Marine squads were small but they were also powerhouses

[stray bluff]

Of course the elephant in the room, a 40K Total War in the style of the Warhammer 1/2/3.. which seems impossible now given Creative Assembly’s issues…

[dense salmon]

I'm just confused how the game would work logistically

[stray bluff]

It would be their biggest TW no doubt

[snow fern]

Creative Assembly is kinda in the shit right now with how they’re treating tww3, I hope somebody grows a brain in the management over there

Total War 40k would also be the first Total War with “modern” weaponry, although I guess there’s some experience with skaven ratling guns and all that

[median marsh]

Chorfs could be a base for factions that are limited in numbers

since Chorf units are very strong but also limited

[snow fern]

As far as historical goes I think Napoleonic is the most recent time wise

If they do a total war 40k I want Blood Ravens back

Blueberries can be there too, but I want the og 40k game marines

[median marsh]

return of commander boreale

[stray bluff]

Literally would be the cash cow of SEGA if TW:40K happened

[median marsh]

Ravens showed up in Space Marine 1 iirc

[snow fern]

They are in Space Marines in what basically amounts to a cameo

They have a codex don’t they? Or am I hallucinating

[stray bluff]

U know you would pay $20 for your favourite Chapter no questions asked

[snow fern]

I mean, I also want a psyker centric space marine army that isn’t Thousand Sons

[dense salmon]

I wish there were an online alternative to tabletop like pokemon showdown

I know about tabletop simulator

[snow fern]

That would cut into gw sales

[dense salmon]

Only reason is sometimes I can't find people to play with

[snow fern]

They already banned fan content

Not 40k but Moonbreakers is a fun little Kill Team sized game with a very great mini painter

The funny plants that keep making more funny plants are my favorite

[median marsh]

"oops, all plants"

[snow fern]

One of the leader units is just a potted plant with mech legs, it’s great

[stray bluff]

So whats the deal w Grey Knights? I can’t find much info on them

[dense salmon]

Daemon hunting psyker space marines

[stray bluff]

Whos their Daddy?

[dense salmon]

They come from all legions

[stray bluff]

Woah

[fast nest]

I believe they have the emperors geneseed

[dense salmon]

After the edict of nikaea, and the outlawing of space marine librarians

Some became the first grey knights

It's an order started by malcador

They don't comply to the codex astartes

[fast nest]

Ah ok

[snow fern]

The first one was a purified shard of magnus

Or something

[dense salmon]

Revuel

[snow fern]

I don’t like them cause they just sorta work as the inquisitions answer to space marines a lot of the time

[dense salmon]

Malcador kept magnus' noble shard and infused it in revuel's body

[fast nest]

They have the honour of being implanted with gene-seed engineered directly from the genome of the Emperor Himself.
Taken from the the wiki

[dense salmon]

Even though they don't comply to the codex and theoretically have no limit to their numbers

The process of becoming a grey knight is so arduous that their numbers are kept low

[snow fern]

One of their important ones is trapped in the warp. I kinda ignore Grey Knights a bunch, but that one was in tts so

[dense salmon]

Grey knights are pretty divisive

Mostly due to poor writing

[snow fern]

Sounds like 40k

[storm jungle]

yeah they are the mary sue of mary sue chapters

"OH WE GOT 666 TRIALS"

"OH ONLY 10000 OUT OF 1 ASPIRANTS SURVIVE"

"OH OUR GENESEED IS FROM THE EMPEROR"

[dense salmon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

like, okay DeviantArt champ

[dense salmon]

They are ridiculous

[storm jungle]

Grey Knights are the kind of thing where if someone from the fandom made them they'd be ridiculed to shit

[dense salmon]

Comically so

[storm jungle]

but they are official so

[dense salmon]

In the same vain as calgar ripping a necron pylon out of the earth and using it like a baseball bat

[celest dome]

Same for Custodes no ?

[snow fern]

I know it’s silly but I remember somebody’s custom chapter wore hoods on their armor and I still think that’s neat.

[dense salmon]

Custodes literally are the emperor's deviantart OCS

[storm jungle]

^

[snow fern]

I mean, at least Custodes got reasons for their grandure

[dense salmon]

He handmade them to be works of art

[storm jungle]

Custodes are A BIT better

because yeah they are the Emperors literal guardians

GK are literally just a weird hyper-specific chapter made to fight demons and got to remain a ""secret""

[snow fern]

One set of Custodes armor is the worth of several worlds combined

Let them be the Big Es ocs

[storm jungle]

Also Custodian
Gets decapitated by GSC mining-laser

Such is war

[dense salmon]

Some harlequins break in and murder like

Scores of custodes

[storm jungle]

yeah dont mention that

Custodeeznuts fans will get mad

[crisp heath]

Horror game where chaos space marines run from custodes

[dense salmon]

To be fair it was abysmal writing

[normal light]

Shrapnel doesn’t care how custodian you are

[storm jungle]

Deserved tbh

Custodians should get a taste of what non-marine factions deal with every month

[snow fern]

I like the excerpt in 30k where some space marines fighting with the custodes noticed how disturbingly good they were at killing space marines

[normal light]

And how fast and slim you are

[crisp heath]

Harlequins are like way faster ain’t they and have stupid tech

Like the ignore physics and armor you just die immediately tech

[dense salmon]

Harlequin are ridiculous but thek being a match for custodes is unprecedented except for that one instance

[snow fern]

I see harlequins as a custodes equivalent for eldar

[crisp heath]

Feel like if the custodes got one hit off it’d be a wrap for a harlequin but he wouldn’t get the chance

[dense salmon]

Maybe a solitaire

[snow fern]

I still prefer the dinosaur riding craftworlds tho

[crisp heath]

Or at least be super hard to hit

[snow fern]

Is there any books on the Unification War?

The Last Church counts kinda I guess

[dense salmon]

A harlequin is like comparable to a space marine in lower estimates and an eversor in higher estimates

[arctic talon]

Solitaire is complete overkill for the average custodes

they kill greater daemons solo

mostly because Chegorach is cheating helping them

[dense salmon]

Yeah

[tall hinge]

That's kind of Eldar shuriken tech in general though (from a lore standpoint anyway). But the harlequins kiss is pretty gnarly.

[arctic talon]

Harlequins are arguably a match for custodes but not in a 1 on 1

harlequins don't do 1 on 1's except for solitaires

[dense salmon]

Depends on the writer

[storm jungle]

Harlequins attack in packs yeah

[arctic talon]

Generally speaking they don’t do 1 on 1’s

[dense salmon]

A group of them are like

[arctic talon]

They have their little troupes

[storm jungle]

they got gauntlets where they can reach into your chest and pull your heart out with an anti-phase tech

[arctic talon]

That they fight in

[dense salmon]

A murderous Tasmanian devil tornado

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

Also they literally move in like, a flurry of diamond/pixels

[snow fern]

Depends on the writer could go for just about anybody tbf, shout out to any eldar or daemon fans watching a named greater daemon or Avatar of Khaine get roflstomped

[storm jungle]

so your average joe basically has no chance

[storm jungle]

Welcome to the entire setting

except when this rule almost gets played in the favor of the Imperum because posterboys

[snow fern]

Fucking blueberries

[arctic talon]

Titan shows up dies 3 pages later

Peak fiction tbh

[storm jungle]

Or just

Warlord titan

Ork biker exists

Jumps into cockpit

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

Kills everyone

[arctic talon]

Peak fiction

[dense salmon]

ORKZ IS BEST

[snow fern]

Remember when that daemonhost soloed a titan, but they’re a common threat in dt

[dense salmon]

KRUMP DA REST

[storm jungle]

Kinda

Cherubael is also like

extremely OP

lmao

[dense salmon]

Daemonhosts vary in strength

[snow fern]

I suppose

[dense salmon]

The real answer to why we can kill them in darktide is because

It's a game and it's cool

[snow fern]

This new map is deeper hive right? Was expecting more chaos corruption

[storm jungle]

its not deep hive

its just a merchant-district

you are basically in diesel-punk 18th century britain

https://imgur.com/nQq0TYe

[snow fern]

Man, a lot of people got those licenses for stabbing dont they

[storm jungle]

With a setting so british?

Should be expected

[arctic talon]

Its a red light/merchant district

[snow fern]

I suppose bullets are just propelled knives with explosions just being concussive knives

[dense salmon]

Everything at the end of the day boils down to a pointy stick

[snow fern]

I get there are bayonets on the guns, but you think with so many factions loving to just bum rush into melee, stuff like pikes and spears would be more common

[stray bluff]

Your gameplay? I have a low end rig so seeing the game at its best is beautiful

[snow fern]

Why is it only krieg that seems to love a good moat a now and again

[storm jungle]

nah its Homelander's

he posts a lot of smooth gif footage on #darktide-pics-vids

I WISH my game ran this fucking good

[arctic talon]

Most guard regiments dig trenches when necessary, krieg also aren’t a trench warfare specialist regiment

They’re an siege and subterranean assault specialist regiment

[snow fern]

Sounds like Perturabo’s kinda regiment

[green loom]

Game runs better for me post update

So yay

[arctic talon]

The gillead gravediggers

Are an actual like

Trench warfare specialist regiment

[dense salmon]

Do the chemdogs use zerk?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Iirc

They use all sorts of illegal combat stimms

[fast nest]

Whats the officer gonna do arrest them?

[arctic talon]

They’re allowed to

Those combat stimms are just usually illegal on other worlds

The Chem dogs get a lot of exceptions

Due to their very very stellar performance in shithole warzones

[fast nest]

I’d assume as much

[arctic talon]

They’re technically a Penal legion since they’re from a prison world but

Realistically speaking they’re just as good as most regiments if not better

[fast nest]

Yeah that what I was referencing

[arctic talon]

Ah

Well they don’t wana get sent back

Bcs salvar sucks lol

[fast nest]

Fair enough

[arctic talon]

Chem dogs are thankfully pretty easy to convert

They look cool as well

[fast nest]

Basically gsc aesthetics just remove the alien stuff

[dense salmon]

The chemdogs have more commissars attached to them but they are given a lot of leeway

It is usually frowned upon to modify your own equipment but chemdogs often do this

They also scrap and salvage a lot of their equipment

And improvise weaponry from said salvage

If they don't keep it for themselves

[fast nest]

They’re one of the cooler regiments that are rarely shown sadly

[arctic talon]

There’s a Chem dog regiment who have a lemen russ executioner lol

[celest dome]

The Plasma one ?

[fast nest]

That’s great I love drug addicted criminals with massive plasma weapons

[arctic talon]

Yeah the plasma one that’s super rare lol

[dense salmon]

Honestly threatening to send a chemdog back to savlar would scare them more than threatening to execute them

[fast nest]

They’d probably say “do it” while pressing their head against the bolt pistol

[arctic talon]

Tbh that planet sounds absolutely terrible

[storm jungle]

Theres footage of it happening

https://youtu.be/Ny4a-oxOndo

🫵

[fast nest]

Why is Savlar dubbed over with Detroit

[storm jungle]

beats me man, these propaganda vids are weird

[snow fern]

A quick lore lookup on Savlar is comical.
This place sucks ass, everyone is a criminal and it all sucks, but hey, it’s regiment is better than most at unsurvivable missions

Vets of the 3rd War of Armageddon geez

Do the chem dogs actually use stims or is it just a name?

[tall hinge]

[storm jungle]

It isnt mandatory but all of em are crackhead criminals

so its kinda expected

[dense salmon]

They inhale chemical cocktails through their rebreathers

[arctic talon]

A lot of them use stimms

[dense salmon]

Makes them "braver"

[arctic talon]

Tbh they were brave enough to fight in the underhives of Armageddon lol

With some gaseous encouragement

[dense salmon]

Yeah

[snow fern]

Hey anybody who fought Armageddon’s gotta be a bit brave

[tall hinge]

[dense salmon]

The bravery was there

But charging a daemon definitely rakes some

Stimulation

Of the chemical sort

[snow fern]

Especially Khorne or Slannesh who’s presence causing bowels to evacuate

[arctic talon]

Nurgle causes your stomach to empty

[snow fern]

Not scary, just a different kind of awful

[dense salmon]

Nurgle forces are pretty scary

[snow fern]

Tzeentch uh, mutates you

[dense salmon]

Bloated zombies shambling around

[snow fern]

Scary but not like literally emits an aura of fear at all times kinda scary

[dense salmon]

Especially old art of the death guard

[tall hinge]

Tzeentch always gets the credit for the mutation domain but Slaanesh does it just as much.

[storm jungle]

every chaos god does

the fans are just kinda ignorant

[snow fern]

Which one’s got the sentient spawn?

Or is that fantasy?

[storm jungle]

Uhh all of them i guess?

[snow fern]

I suppose I thought they were unaware of their situation due to the overwhelming degree of mutation, but some looking into it just didn’t help at all

[storm jungle]

Some are some arent

its kinda dependant

[spare osprey]

valdor birth of the imperium

[snow fern]

Thanks

[green loom]

Time to make some Femstodes

[storm jungle]

[versed ledge]

So lads, what 40k tech is doable IRL?

[snow fern]

I’m pretty sure those really fat heavy tvs still exist

[green loom]

I will be shot my the cringelords

But worth it 100%

[arctic talon]

Autogun

[snow fern]

Autoguns are just any rifle lmao

[arctic talon]

Corpse starch(with prions)

[green loom]

Also what's everyones' thoughts on Mercantile then?

[versed ledge]

Well obviously, but what else. Can we make scrape or slab?

[arctic talon]

Love it

It’s very distinct visually

[storm jungle]

prob one of the best maps in the game

[versed ledge]

Hell, I think slab might be doable

[arctic talon]

Slab is like even more heavily processed food

[snow fern]

I need to see it better, the only time I played the map so far was lights out lmao

[storm jungle]

i played 3 matches then went to play another launch-state map and I just couldnt do it

[arctic talon]

It’s absolutely doable imo

[storm jungle]

they so dour compared to merchantile

[snow fern]

Hard tack

[storm jungle]

lmao

[snow fern]

Make some hard tack

[green loom]

I don't find them that much worse

[arctic talon]

Merchantile is very fun

[green loom]

What I adore though

Is Morrow Mercantile

[arctic talon]

the ending sequence is brutal

[storm jungle]

I havent done Morrow yet

[snow fern]

I love the dome fight

[green loom]

DUDE

Get on and do it right now

[celest dome]

With Wolfer ?

[storm jungle]

AAA okay

[green loom]

Yes

Hadron gives him a vox scrambles

[storm jungle]

Morrow is the one where him and the traitor guard/captain constantly talk right

[green loom]

*scrambler

[celest dome]

It's great.

[green loom]

He's the only one

And you get to listen in to Moebian chatter throughout the level

[storm jungle]

based

ill try that

[arctic talon]

The poor comms officer

I feel bad for her lol

[green loom]

There's liek a dozen of them lol

Also Wolfer had a quote

[arctic talon]

Are there?

I’ve always had one with the same voice ngl

[green loom]

"If this continues on, I will become..... antisocial"

[arctic talon]

Lol

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[green loom]

Yeah I heard like 3-5

[storm jungle]

holy shit hes literally me!!!

[green loom]

Some ladies some guys

Gruffer voices

[arctic talon]

Why did they even rescue him 💀

If he’s just gona start friendly fire lol

Is he that good

[storm jungle]

tbf

friendly fire

[arctic talon]

Actually I guess he prolly is

[storm jungle]

is kinda expected

[arctic talon]

Friendly executions

[celest dome]

Because he is the only competent one it seem

[arctic talon]

Is that better

[snow fern]

What’s a little friendly fire among friends?

[arctic talon]

What about the Karnak twins

Or whatever

[storm jungle]

We dont know much about em yet

very possibly future map assassination targets

[arctic talon]

They’re absolutely gona be a duo fight

Hopefully they both have like

A full Hp bar instead of it being halved

[snow fern]

What is morrow? Is it a map name?

I cant find it atm

[arctic talon]

Sgt. Morrow

[green loom]

He's the guy that sounds like every guardsman ever

[snow fern]

Wait so what’s the map with the traitor captain talking?

[green loom]

Mercantile

[snow fern]

Okay, I got Explicator and the prem shop lady

[green loom]

Though he's got a voiceline in uhh
Chasm Terminus

[green loom]

If you select the mission on the terminal, you can see who's gonna be narrating

If you see a bald guy with a stupid mustache, that's the one you want

[snow fern]

I know who marrow is, I was just confused on how he was being referenced. Thanks for the help figuring out the narrator tho

[green loom]

Yeah he doesn't speak much

Most of the Vocator dialogue on the mission with him is just the traitors

And it's awesome

"Boss there's like 50 of these guys here"

[arctic talon]

“I’m sure”

💀

[snow fern]

He knows his lads are fuckups

[arctic talon]

I sort of wish that the reinforcements they dropped

Were like a fuck ton of pdf

It would funny if it was in fact 50 people lol

[storm jungle]

I still cant believe

his first name is Lance

[snow fern]

Lance Wolfer?

[green loom]

Who's first name

[arctic talon]

Lance morrow?

[green loom]

Wolfer?

[arctic talon]

Oh god

Or is it lance wolfer

[green loom]

No Morrow is Vinnie

[storm jungle]

WAIT NO

ITS VINCENT

EVEN WORSE

LMAO

[green loom]

Vincent Morrow yeah

[arctic talon]

Vincent Morrow

God

[snow fern]

Vincent, geez

[storm jungle]

this is like if you were named Bob Patton

[snow fern]

Steel legion must be the butt of a bunch of jokes

[arctic talon]

That’s such a funny name

[green loom]

Don't slander Vinnie behind his back smh

[storm jungle]

[snow fern]

I’m glad we’re still getting interactions with antags like Belakor and Sofia in VT.

Even if from the pov of an observer rather than direct conversation

I hope when fighting the twins, and we take down one of their void shields they say, “Brother I am pinned here.”

[storm jungle]

god

lmao

[arctic talon]

Lol

I Wonder if they’re fraternal twins

[snow fern]

I would apologize, but my intro to 40k was the osmosis of DoW memes, particularly those featuring the guardsman on the Winter Assault boxcover

[arctic talon]

Meh

You got into the setting

[storm jungle]

that is the genesis of a lot of 40k fans

nothing to apologize about

my "god lmao" was more in the sense of "damn thats a good one"

[snow fern]

I just realized, do kids these days know what a boxcover is?

[crisp heath]

Lol, I'll be real. My introduction was Weshammer. Then from his lovable self, I went to Leutin. Realized he was perfect for sleep, not so much for me retaining the information. Majorkill was in there somewhere too. Then I wasted like... 300 bucks on some books

[severe sandal]

When you wake up on nurgle world:

[crisp heath]

And the rest was history

[severe sandal]

Not even

Nothing will be left to remember you, the plague consumes all

[crisp heath]

I was introduced by Bogleech

... you make nurgle sound like tyranids

He reviewed Nurgle and I was instantly in love

The whole point of most of nurgles disease are to make you immortal

[severe sandal]

… he is in his own way

[snow fern]

I like to read to bunch, and while Warhammer is a, mixed bag. I’m glad there’s a bunch of stuff to spend an evening over

[crisp heath]

He absolutely does leave shit to remember you by

[severe sandal]

Say that to the pox walkers

[arctic talon]

I mean

They’re trapped in their own body

So yes

💀

[crisp heath]

@severe sandal the fact that they are pox walkers...

Like, they're still alive in there

[severe sandal]

Me explaining to the pox walker they’re alive and well as an immortal being before it drags me down and starts pulling out my entrails

[arctic talon]

I never said they were alive and well

Lol

[crisp heath]

But it is. Unlike the tyranids. You can have whole worlds of poxwalkers

My guy they walk

[arctic talon]

They’re in horrifying pain

[snow fern]

Alive is a subjective word when dealing with chaos

[crisp heath]

If they were dead, they'd be pox layers

[arctic talon]

Nurgle absolutely leaves reminders

Plagues

Corpses

Rotted piles and rusted steel

[snow fern]

Trees

[crisp heath]

Wait no a pox layer sounds like something far worse

[crisp heath]

Sure. How about conscience then

[arctic talon]

[severe sandal]

There’s technically three forms of life in the normal universe of 40k

Dead, alive, and warp-adjacent

[arctic talon]

Idk what your point is ngl

Nurgle does leave things behind

[snow fern]

I imagine walkers are fairly aware of what they’re doing. I imagine it’s something like the pov of Private whats his name who get infected in, “The Flood” Halo book.

[arctic talon]

Even if they’re horrifying monstrosities

[arctic talon]

They’re like stuck in the back seat while someone is driving
