Their metalwork is actually ass

you should look closer in the meat-grinder

its all hastily/awkwardly melted plates for spikes

which is a great touch

[umbral nymph]

they are almost on par with Orks in metalworking

[storm jungle]

Look at it

[arctic talon]

Tbh their gear prolly looked a lot better before they uh

Fell

[storm jungle]

I do love how disgusting their gear is yeah

like look at this guy

[marsh berry]

Uhhh

[storm jungle]

even his shirt is rotting

[marsh berry]

I mean

[arctic talon]

Their current stuff looks field repaired and in poor maintenance imo

[normal light]

“You need armour? Here.” Slaps more metal plates

[marsh berry]

The helmet spikes look okay

I’m tryna be positive

[arctic talon]

Lol

[marsh berry]

They spent all night making those okay

[storm jungle]

Searching for compliments moment 💀

[umbral nymph]

how dare you insult the krieg way of armor

[storm jungle]

i really do like it tho

instead of like

most chaos art

where they just have spiked gear

and you go "who tf makes all these"

[marsh berry]

No bully the poor widdle hewetics

[storm jungle]

But as i was saying

[crisp heath]

@storm jungle I like that I looks like they're literally stabbed into him, and that brace is just there to hold them still and also bolted in.

[storm jungle]

darktide deffo took a lot of inspiration from these guys

[crisp heath]

Like it's metal af

[storm jungle]

WAIT

THE CHEST-SPIKE

ITS LITERALLY THE SAME

[umbral nymph]

I do hope they add uncorrupted Mobians 6th gear as cosmetics

[storm jungle]

also same its great

[umbral nymph]

hey its a scab with the bully club enemy

that chest spike

[normal light]

They also should looked up Blooded Kill Team

[green loom]

We get a good amount of chainmail also

Like

It's not bad armije

*armour

[storm jungle]

Chainmail jokes aside yeah is really useful

and like legit protects you

[normal light]

Yeah it’s pretty cheap

[storm jungle]

Its one of the most underrated forms of armor IRL

[umbral nymph]

espcially if your nurgle bleseed and dont care much about blunt damage becuase youre already mush

[normal light]

And you can wear it other armor

Easy to replace

[marsh berry]

And it lets your Nurgle blessed skin air out

[umbral nymph]

people forget this was the PEAK of amor tech at some point

[normal light]

Full chain mail body glove when?

[marsh berry]

Still peak drip 💧

[storm jungle]

I do like people who are like "man these guys dont look mutated at all"

The not mutated man in question:

[sacred ginkgo]

and then crossbows

[normal light]

Early Medieval Ages moment

[storm jungle]

Freddy No-Nose 💀

[normal light]

Guy just doesn’t have a nose

[green loom]

Smh dolara

Those are obviously war scares

[storm jungle]

lmao

[marsh berry]

That’s just what people look like in Britain

[green loom]

My autocorrect has deemed you Dolara

[storm jungle]

💵

[umbral nymph]

To be fair, this guy just looks like he needs a cup of coffee

[normal light]

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

[storm jungle]

He looks like my fucking dad

the stick adds

[umbral nymph]

theres the chest spike

[green loom]

Do you think he hits his head on that spike

[storm jungle]

probably

imagine falling on your face

then pop goes the eyeball 💀

[green loom]

Maybe that's why they're all missing noses

[marsh berry]

I’ve seen players that looked more mutated than this guy

[umbral nymph]

that would actually work as defense you cant swing at his head the spike will block it

[normal light]

It’s probably makes it harder for him to fight in melee

[queen laurel]

least drug mutated Portland Oregon citizen

[umbral nymph]

bruh the reject faces really tilted to them being "REJECTS"

[normal light]

Nah it doesn’t sharp in inner edge

[storm jungle]

the Moebians be like

"We are gonna make Atoma the most toxic planet in the sector."

[umbral nymph]

Wolfer from Wish

[normal light]

I do love those Chaos Metal Grotesques

[storm jungle]

Wolfer's mask is also from a Vraks Enforcer

[umbral nymph]

The veteran chat yesterday was movie theater i tell ya

[normal light]

Especially Enforcer ones

[queen laurel]

Send only a couple people from Zealot chat and you know damn well Wolfer will shoot himself on the spot

[normal light]

True

[storm jungle]

Fucking psychopaths lmao

[green loom]

Oh hey I need this

[storm jungle]

Honestly

if you are gonna steal a mask design

pretty good choice

[marsh berry]

Wolfer’s dad

[umbral nymph]

Plauge Ogryns originating from Vraks checks out where fatshark got some inspiration for enemies

[green loom]

They're as smart as the guardsmen they play(not very)

[normal light]

Vraksian Chaos Militia Looks THICC

[storm jungle]

check out the Hounds of Xaphan

[umbral nymph]

doggies

[normal light]

They gave the drip

[storm jungle]

Im not even complaining, the fact that they borrow from in-universe/IRL models just makes it cooler lmao

[normal light]

Like Bloodpact

[normal light]

Stop

[umbral nymph]

The sound you hear everytime a hound horde spawns is the laments of an ogryn dog handler

[normal light]

Don’t send units we have lost

[queen laurel]

I feel sad for these guys

Mainly because i am forced to shoot them of course

[normal light]

He is literally called Hound handler or something like that

[marsh berry]

Honestly the Psyker chat is normally fine, but occasionally there’s that one guy who boasts about always kicking console players and two groupies who just keep calling him based

[storm jungle]

Yeah this is why i got every class chat muted

unless we are pinged to bring order its not worth hanging around

"OH MY GOD I CANT DO 1.23 DAMAGE ANYMORE"

"WE GOT NERFED NOOOO"

"REEEEE"

24/7

[queen laurel]

Yeah even ogryn which is usually the most sane has problems

[normal light]

It’s time to make public executions in class chats

[storm jungle]

I wish.

[normal light]

[storm jungle]

[umbral nymph]

"Veteran players complaining losing stacks while moving"

im literally paralized for real

[queen laurel]

You do that you better not come to my bunker because people will roast you alive

[umbral nymph]

[storm jungle]

Veteran players break a nail
"FATSHARK WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME"

[marsh berry]

Goodbye Psyker chat, afyer the great tradegey of patch 15 im changing main as i can no longer run surge assail as well

[queen laurel]

Yeah do you remember the days when it used to be just the psykers complaining all day?

And now here we are

[storm jungle]

haha

[normal light]

Be a zealot and don’t have a single thought about build and weapon abilities

I just play and that’s all

[storm jungle]

this guy gets it

[umbral nymph]

meanwhile Ogryn chat

[storm jungle]

Not tanky enough?

[normal light]

Crusher Maul stuns ragers? I get it

[storm jungle]

what the fuck

[queen laurel]

This meme is quite outdated

[normal light]

Time to kill heretics

[arctic talon]

Zealot chat is the best one

because its utterly derranged

[umbral nymph]

ive still had people in game complain how they still die while being the "tank" class

[normal light]

All Zealots are

[queen laurel]

And they wouldn't have it any other way

[umbral nymph]

im like thats not how this works

[arctic talon]

bruh

Ogryn is tanky as shit

[queen laurel]

Like that's why i can't really hate them because they know they are deranged

[arctic talon]

what are people building 💀

Only argument I can make for zealot being tankier is the ability to just not die once every 90 seconds

[umbral nymph]

"Taunt is so useless it should give me invincibility or something im a tank" im like .. bruh

[arctic talon]

bruh

Taunt is useless

is the worst take I've seen ever

[queen laurel]

Brother i can stay in a horde as long as i just keep hitting it with a heavy attack

[normal light]

All I build is dash, stun grenade and crusher

[queen laurel]

People sometimes

[umbral nymph]

eyo taunt is emaculate .. but very situational

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

its situational

[queen laurel]

On high difficulty, trust me it's not situational

[arctic talon]

but I would never call it useless

I don't use taunt on ogryn anyways 💀

so I wouldn't know

[queen laurel]

Because every second the game is going to throw a horde at you

[arctic talon]

I am a bull rush enjoyer

[umbral nymph]

having a whole horde forget the 3 players exist is amazing

sad its rarely used

[queen laurel]

You can also literally disintegrate a trapper net

[normal light]

I like how crusher Zealot could take out 2 Real Crushers

[queen laurel]

By stunning the trapper by the taunt

[umbral nymph]

speaking of crushers that brings to mind. you ever think how they convinced their ogryns to turn traitor

[arctic talon]

Good question

[umbral nymph]

i mean its probably as easy as teaching achild

[storm jungle]

Honestly its lying then outright corruption

[normal light]

Easily

[queen laurel]

Ogryns are easy to corrupt

They are very simple minded

[storm jungle]

because the ogryns are actually referring to you as "loyalists"

[arctic talon]

also yeah they prolly lied

well

[storm jungle]

so they arent even tricked at that point

they are FULLY onboard

[arctic talon]

so do the other moebians

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

tbf

Oh wait

nvm I misread what you said lmao

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

💀

[queen laurel]

Yeah and they have exhibited mutations they have been exposed for a good amount of time

[arctic talon]

my brain is smoothing over

[umbral nymph]

also the though of all Ogryns in Grendyls warband being BoneEads damn how many implants to they have

[storm jungle]

They arent all boneheads

[normal light]

Execution on the spot

[arctic talon]

The more I've played Ogryn and Zealot

[storm jungle]

the only bonehead is ironically the dumbest ogryn

[arctic talon]

the smoother my brain has gotten

[storm jungle]

the one that constantly says "sah"

[arctic talon]

His implant

💀

[storm jungle]

Because people forget ogryns are not mentally-braindead

💀

[queen laurel]

And the worst part it's cooking his brain

[umbral nymph]

ey thats my voicepack . and i remember he has a line that says his metal thing in head is itching

[normal light]

Seems strange to me

[queen laurel]

He needs to get that thing replaced

[marsh berry]

I’m sure some of our Ogryn rejects would turn traitor for a shot at a set of Crusher carapace

[arctic talon]

why

I enjoy melee gameplay

Zealot and Ogryn have the best melee in the game

[normal light]

I main Zealot and all I feel is being deranged

[storm jungle]

honestly i know it doesnt really work but id LOVE a fully armored ogryn setup

also a two-handed weapon

[arctic talon]

I enjoy zealot because I enjoy religous psychopaths

tbh

[normal light]

Yes

[storm jungle]

we already got a good bunch of the matching enemy gear

[arctic talon]

I find them fun characters

[normal light]

Yes

[queen laurel]

I want to send a motherfucker flying with brass knuckles

[normal light]

They are funny character archetypes

[umbral nymph]

the bully ogryn, the savage ogryn and the BEST ogryn

[arctic talon]

Do ogryn have their promo armor yet

lol

[storm jungle]

nope

lol

tho the uh

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

upcoming bundle has some part of it

[normal light]

Religious Zeal has it’s flavour

[storm jungle]

the chest and one pauldron

[arctic talon]

hm

wonder why lol

[storm jungle]

Im sure they are gonna release em soon tho

[arctic talon]

More penances

[storm jungle]

the ogryn armor has like 6 variants

[arctic talon]

soon™️

[storm jungle]

and we are closing on anniversary

[umbral nymph]

ive been wanting to remake the cover rejects since launch

[normal light]

Now combine them all in one

[arctic talon]

easiest to remake is psyker

I think

Then Zealot

[umbral nymph]

psyker is already there and zelaot

[arctic talon]

Zealots armor is different

[marsh berry]

Promo Psyker doesn’t even have any unique gear

[arctic talon]

technically

the wrappings + shoulder are dif 🤓

The promo zealot has a leather shoulder pad with spikes

the in game one has 2 metal shoulder pads

promo zealot also is wearing this armor in cutscenes so its modeled in game

[storm jungle]

you can get the psyker gear

I THINK just not the black hood

[normal light]

🤫

[arctic talon]

see she's right here

[umbral nymph]

we want tutorial ogryn

he was named as well

[arctic talon]

So was the tutorial zealot lol

who's the promo zealot

those 2 have actual names which I've always found funny

[queen laurel]

God what crimes i wouldn't commit for that chess piece

[arctic talon]

We got their names

[umbral nymph]

also the headset cosmetic

the sharpshooter trailer lady

[marsh berry]

Oh I didn’t realise the hood was black actually

[storm jungle]

Yeah i was trying to recreate him 2 days ago, thats how i noticed

[arctic talon]

oh shit his hood is black

wtf I never noticed

[queen laurel]

Kreft would have died in an accidental case of friendly fire if i was around

[storm jungle]

also yeah every character from the select screen when you are making a character is in the game as operatives

[arctic talon]

yeah they show up

[storm jungle]

so Male/Female for every class

[arctic talon]

in cutscenes

[storm jungle]

yeee

[arctic talon]

its a good like

call back

I enjoy all the background warband members

[languid salmon]

looks at the ogryn

[queen laurel]

Yeah they are definitely high-ranking operatives

[storm jungle]

GW Moment

[queen laurel]

Because they look like they've been here for a good amount of time

[arctic talon]

I guess this is the whole like warband proper

• our player character

who isn't in this cutscene I think lol

[grave widget]

You guys can see on the mission for stealing the prismata crystals the people from the end of the game reveal video in the elevator

I thought that was funny

[queen laurel]

Lore chat figuring out how lorgar could wrestle a tyranid hive tyrant

[grave widget]

Notice nobody is wearing red for some reason

[storm jungle]

They are

its just VERY dark

lmao

[arctic talon]

they are in close ups

[umbral nymph]

I like to think this is just the inner circle (all Lvl30s)

the scrubs still in prison garb are out there in the field

[arctic talon]

behold red

[storm jungle]

I honestly really like that they went with that approach, it has a really good Justice League meeting feel

[marsh berry]

No wonder Morrow wants more reinforcements

[storm jungle]

bro

that guy in the middle

[arctic talon]

yeah lvl30 is the warband proper

[storm jungle]

i remember him, i harass him at his work-station sometimes

[arctic talon]

He's by that one terminal off to the left who never talks

[grave widget]

Am I just having trouble seeing it

[arctic talon]

I have no clue why lol

[grave widget]

Can barely pick it out

[storm jungle]

Nah its just dark

[queen laurel]

Of course you fuckin do

[umbral nymph]

On a side note I really like how Wolfer repurposed his chest piece lettering

also again with the metalwork

[storm jungle]

his glowup is great

he looked very generic before minus the mask lmao

[sacred ginkgo]

to be fair he had just been pulled out of prison

but the new look is really nice

[queen laurel]

Literally

[storm jungle]

literally GTA Online

so i must agree

[umbral nymph]

His glowup aint gonna matter when 4 Ogryns get within melee range of him

[umbral nymph]

actually was it implied HOW the hell did the 6th board what i assume is an even larger prison ship

or were they wating inside the ship

[winged jacinth]

Possibly mutiny, possibly the prison ship isnt well equipped to deter boarders

[umbral nymph]

also they conviniently brought in Atoman poxwalkers on board. or they infected the some parts of the ship

[grave widget]

is that what attacked the ship

I thought it was just pirates

[sacred ginkgo]

Valkyrie strike force? The Tancred Bastion was within realspace travel range of the Mourningstar

[umbral nymph]

it was the 6th that attacked the ship

boarded it and everything

[winged jacinth]

It was the moebians rescuing wolfe and probably other heretics of less importance

[marsh berry]

Me when I convert to Nurgle

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[umbral nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/heresy-purge-w40k-warhammer-gif-10271501

[storm jungle]

The ship is not that massive and remember the 6th are an elite regiment.

This kind of fighting/warfare is what they excel at

[umbral nymph]

I guess they couldve boarded with valkyries or something which they seem to have an abundance of from the update cinematic

[languid salmon]

Proceeds to struggle with 4 random prisoners

[umbral nymph]

why havent they used it for aistrikes against the rejects i dunno

[queen laurel]

@storm jungle i improved the meme

Yes i know i am totally losing my sanity

[umbral nymph]

bro is turning cultist in real time

[arctic talon]

Lore wise they don't have aerial superiority

[queen laurel]

For the Blood God

[plush mason]

his face is all fucked up lol. bro has no nose

[storm jungle]

Gameplay =/= Lore

[grave widget]

Why did he have a mask on in a prison cell

[storm jungle]

the Moebians also murder tons of rejects

[marsh berry]

Why did he paint on his own helmet

[storm jungle]

He wears it after the troopers hand him it

he doesnt wear it in his cell

[queen laurel]

It was given to him when he was broken out

[sacred ginkgo]

we don't often get into open enough areas with advance warning

[grave widget]

Oh

I haven't watched it in a while

[storm jungle]

It's been 84 years...

[sacred ginkgo]

the only times we do the air is clear and we have our own air in within 5 minutes

[storm jungle]

^

Theres an explanation for everything in this game

surprisingly

lmao

[sacred ginkgo]

there's a reason we kill skyfire left and right

surprised they even bothered to mention anti air emplacements

[storm jungle]

I mean its the Imperium you never know

every place has to be ready for any kind of fighting

[sacred ginkgo]

usually stuff like this is omitted though, I like its inclusion

[storm jungle]

same its not flat out told which is neat

[grave widget]

every time we land it's because there's so much skyfire we can't get anywhere close

The problem: tactical disadvantage

The solution: kill literally everybody

[umbral nymph]

I like the scene of the valkryies strafing the skyfire cannons after we disable them. games need more of that we have support elements helping the rejects

[shrewd ridge]

"Promote ahead of peers" that's officer level strategic acumen

[spare osprey]

seriously love that collar piece

the graffiti adding that dickhead insult to the engraving

[dense salmon]

i just noticed morrow has a gask mask on his hip

[storm jungle]

its the Armageddon sergeant one too

this one

has the skullface, its great

[dense salmon]

yeah, dope as fuck

i noticed by looking at concept art lol

https://artwork.40k.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Sergeant-Marrow.jpg

[verbal path]

My reject canonically kills ALL those daemons etc. Just another day in the Guard. 💪

[crisp heath]

No... it literally canonically doesn't. Because i can't help but be that guy

[languid salmon]

I thought we were just really bad at confirming kills

[crisp heath]

Lol that's like, the whole point of the wounds system, getting downed, and getting captured.

Your "four man squad" is likely a bigger group, it's just game logic.

Each time you get downed is technically a death. Each time you get captured and the team saves you, thats a different person, they are finding someone else.

[storm jungle]

The issue with that is this latest update confirms you are just four operators

because you kill so many people on your way to the ampitheatre that the traitors assume you are a full-platoon of 50 soldiers

[crisp heath]

I know lol. But that doesn't mean it couldn't still be more then 4

But yeah, it's definitely not 50

Idk lol. Just how I've interpreted it

Because I know downs are counted as player "deaths" for contracts

[verbal path]

I am now canonically a killing machine. 😤

[dense salmon]

we're at least 60 point units minimum

[crisp heath]

We are that for sure. Our rejects are badasses. I just think... idk. Some limitation or rationalization has to be had lol

[storm jungle]

I mean there is tho

at this point we are specialized inquisition agents

the actual rejects are still dying in droves out there

the vox-chatter on the ship has Morrow constantly asking for more bodies

[dense salmon]

you see a lot of dead loyalists in the carnival

[storm jungle]

^

[verbal path]

You can see a dead squad in the carnival in one of the cells

[dense salmon]

we're simply built different

[storm jungle]

I love how they made the wine-cells into fucking torture rooms 💀

[verbal path]

We're a unique squad with inflated stats to sell more

[verbal path]

The real torture is all those long-las we can't grab.

[crisp heath]

I feel like that doesn't make sense though.... we shouldn't be all that specialized or that high up. The missions we are sent on are literal suicide missions we aren't meant to come back from... and it's not like we received a lot of training when we joined. Pretty much went straight from a cell into the frying pan

[winter vessel]

Cult leader: “HOW DO WE KEEP GETTING OUR ASSES KICKED?!”
Scab points to three misfits and a boulder that sprouted arms and legs wearing pants and a tank top

[dense salmon]

i think our coinage has been raised in the newest update

brahms is listening in on our comms now

there's some progression going on

[verbal path]

Hell ya, Rogue Trader's got an eye on us now.

[dense salmon]

plus we're trusted to steal combat stims from the heart of traitor moebian operations

[storm jungle]

Okay so basically, we are specialized.

• In reality its like one special team thats been sent to deal with this task which is us, the actual non-important strike missions happen with other rejects that have a much higher attrition rate.

• We didnt recieve any training because literally EVERY character in the roster has experience with combat or has fought in wars against traitors/xenos.

• You become an official Inquisitorial/Hereticus agent when you reach Level 30, from there you are an Official Goon™️ and less Cannon Fodder

[crisp heath]

@dense salmon but that's partly my point, in that it's the heart of the enemy operations, and one of the more difficult missions to drop.

[dense salmon]

even the zealot, assuming they're an actual representative of the ecclesiarchy, would have years of combat training

[storm jungle]

^

Ogryns also can literally kill space marines with suplexes lol

[winter vessel]

A bitch slap

[dense salmon]

ogryn bulldogging a black legion marine

that being said

[crisp heath]

I guess this helps it make more sense. Idk. Maybe it's just how they did the story doesn't make it feel as satisfactory as it should. Idk...

[dense salmon]

we're still inquisition do-boys

just like

[storm jungle]

basically the issue is Darktide doesn't tell all this to you, you kinda pick everything up from dialogue/chatter

[dense salmon]

we progressed from level 1 civilian to level 5 mobster

[verbal path]

At 30 all the guards standing around are just your hype squad at that point.

[storm jungle]

^

[crisp heath]

I had noticed this

So yeah. I guess so...

Like I said, just feels weird man

[verbal path]

Shout out to my homie Solstag by the armory hyping me up each time I shop 😤

[dense salmon]

we're special, just not special

a hyper-lethal kill team

[storm jungle]

^

a Kill-Team is deffo the best way to describe it

[dense salmon]

we're each 60 point units lol

[storm jungle]

lmaooo

[languid salmon]

Useful but still somewhat expendable if things go wrong

[crisp heath]

Guessing this is a tabletop reference?

[dense salmon]

yeah

[crisp heath]

Lol idk much when it comes to that so was just curious

[verbal path]

We're like the squad in the trailers. Sent into the deep shit now.

[crisp heath]

You mean... like the one that died lol?

[verbal path]

Ya. They were some of the best which is why they were sent so deep.

[crisp heath]

Pretty sure we're better at this point lol

[winter vessel]

I mean, it’s a high risk high reward situation I’d say. The reward being you’re still alive and under an Inquisitor’s retinue that you won’t get executed.

[crisp heath]

We walk in the Dark and it gets scared of us

[dense salmon]

for reference, a unit of 10 standard guardsman is 65 points

so for just ONE reject to be 60 points should give you an idea of our value

[crisp heath]

Fair lol

Basically our 4 are the power equivalent of a full troop

Give or take

[languid salmon]

Well they did have a door jam on them in the end

[dense salmon]

it adds up nicely mathematically

considering we're mistaken for 50 troopers

[crisp heath]

So on this topic though. As a former wrestler, seeing this mentioned makes me really wanna see some ogryn wrestling lol

I like need that now lol

[verbal path]

Ogryn wrestling while the big man can't even get a dog off of him

[crisp heath]

Lol for real

My boy, just bridge

[dense salmon]

a combat servitor is 40 points

that dogshit unit lmao

what a waste of points

oh i misread

the unit is 4 servitors

still not worth the points

[storm jungle]

Clattering gunfire erupted from weaponry as the figures stamped heavily through the rubble. They were huge individuals, their armour plate thick and nigh on impervious to harm: Terminators, the enemy’s elite.

Havorn banged on the top of the Chimera.

Havorn’s ogryn bodyguard emerged from the confines of the Chimera and breathed deeply, its eyes narrowing. It stepped protectively in front of the brigadier-general, shielding him from fire with its muscled bulk.

“Go!” he shouted. “Intercept them!'

With that, the Elysian commander pointed the way and the ogryn began loping towards the enemy

The ogryn raised its heavy ripper gun, a thick finger pulling the trigger. Empty shells scattered in its wake. It did not roar or bellow as it charged. Such base, animalistic behaviours had been erased from its simple brainpan, but no amount of augmetics could improve the aim of the ogryn and the bullets from its ripper gun sprayed the area, hitting nothing.

Bolter fire raked towards him, striking the hulking abhuman, who grimaced in pain. Chunks of flesh were torn from its arms and chest, but the three metre creature that dwarfed even the Terminators did not slow. It lowered a shoulder and smashed into one of the enemy, knocking it from its feet. Raising the butt of its heavy ripper gun, the ogryn began caving in the helmet of the fallen warrior, smashing it down onto the prone traitor again and again.

With a roar, the ogryn picked up one of the traitors, one massive hand upon the enemy’s backpack and the other between his legs. It lifted the Chaos Marine high into the air and slammed it head first into the ground, cracking its neck. The second traitor turned with a snarl and swung its icon two handed into the ogryn’s legs, driving it to its knees. Releasing his grip on the haft of the hateful symbol of Chaos, the Chaos Marine leapt at the ogryn, its long talons extended for the killing blow.

Havorn cried out and surged forwards, but he was too slow and he saw the bodyguard fall, its throat ripped completely out, blood spurting from the fatal wound. He drove his combat knife through a crack in the traitor’s ceramite back plate, the blade sinking deep. Blood spurted from the wound, burning through Havorn’s leather glove, and the enemy spun, his fist smashing into the brigadier-general’s cheek, shattering the bone.

Pain exploded in his head and he fell back from the force of the blow. He saw the ogryn’s large, mournful eyes as it tried desperately to aid its master before the Chaos Marine reached down and broke its neck with a brutal twist.

[verbal path]

"but no amount of augmetics could improve the aim of the ogryn and the bullets from its ripper gun sprayed the area, hitting nothing."

Ogryn moment

[dense salmon]

suppression

the most slept on mechanic

[warm notch]

Is it just me or is the AI director like

Unfairly aggro now

[verbal path]

They buffed it

[storm jungle]

^

[warm notch]

Auric Damnation is like

[storm jungle]

WAIT

AURIC DAMNATION?

[dense salmon]

i was gonna say the game felt a lot more challenging since the patch

[warm notch]

Unbearably difficult even with two survivalists lmao

[storm jungle]

YEAH NO SHIT ITS AGGRO'D

[verbal path]

Auric Damnation is now proper killy.

[warm notch]

Two survivalist vets and we can't complete it holy shit

[storm jungle]

basically Auric stuff is for people that bitch 24/7 about the game being too easy

its suppose to purposefully be unfair

[dense salmon]

auric is fun

[warm notch]

Auric Damnation used to be like

[verbal path]

💪

[warm notch]

At least a little better

Holy shit

This is like awful

[verbal path]

Still beat it, though. After much blood sweat and tears

[dense salmon]

i still haven't gotten to the ability to competently do auric maelstrom

[crisp heath]

I love this ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Also, looked up ogryn wrestling and found some badass 80s artwork lolol

[verbal path]

Gotta be on guard at all time with the AI director. The moment shit goes south it tends to stay south

[dense salmon]

this looks like a frame from superjail

lol

[crisp heath]

Right!? Lolol

[outer wave]

This shit's awesome, though I would like to see augments like the guy on the right with his insides full of tubes as a more common augmentation in lore

Idk that shit is proper body horror

[crisp heath]

Agreed for sure!

[outer wave]

Reminds me a bit of Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Just with the dark gundam-infected gundams and shit

[arctic talon]

The Judge has learned about Chaos Space Marines somehow lol

and tells the other rejects about it

[outer wave]

Do we know where the zealots were from? Did they ever do any frontline duties?

[arctic talon]

oh it didn't post properly

ew

[outer wave]

Yeah thats wack

[solid valley]

id really love just the uniform the normal little 6th guardsmen wear

[arctic talon]

they did not do frontline duties as far as I know but the Judge did know a Priest that was in the Militarium

[outer wave]

Maybe that priest hear of CSMs?

heard*

[arctic talon]

prolly

The Agitator burnt down a hab block

[outer wave]

LETS GOOOOO

[arctic talon]

And the fanatic is just insane

[dense salmon]

members of the ecclesiarchy attached to the militarum undergo years of combat training and are deadly in deployments

maybe your zealot is one such monk

[dense salmon]

maybe not

[arctic talon]

Okay this time It posted better

[outer wave]

But would that mean there would be relatively widespread knowledge of forces like CSM? Because at the very least, the citizens of Atoma know nothing, much less CSMs.

[crisp heath]

Idk if anything specific is ever stated, but I do think some of the rejects did serve on some frontlines. I forget who but he talks about having to kill his commissar to get into their rations or something

[dense salmon]

knowledge like this is suppressed by the imperial propaganda machine

[arctic talon]

The veterans all did

[crisp heath]

Think it was one of the zealots

[arctic talon]

hyh

*huh

neat

if it was a veteran it was prolly the uhh

loose cannon

[outer wave]

Yeah the loose cannon I believe did kill a commissar or at least some higher up for some reason

[crisp heath]

Not even the people living on atoma knew of the threat before it got there

[dense salmon]

catachans frequently kill commissars to the point that "fragging" became an in-universe slang term for killing an officer

[crisp heath]

They call it the Darktide

That's as much as any in the imperium would also likely know

More actually

[dense salmon]

the galaxy is a big place

[outer wave]

So is Atoma full of more propaganda than the average imperial world?

[crisp heath]

Not at this point

At this point it's just war

[outer wave]

True

[crisp heath]

Before this, yeah it was an average hive world I think

Strategically important, but not special in any way or overtly different

[arctic talon]

it was quite propaganda filled yeah

[outer wave]

Thought their specialty was the alloy they made for tanks was stronger than average

[arctic talon]

yeah mobeian iron

mobian iron

[dense salmon]

the people of atoma were generally ignorant to what the moebian 6th had to deal with

it's a very "all quiet on the western front" scenario

[crisp heath]

🤷‍♂️ sure. But lol I doubt that's the why we are fighting so hard for it

[dense salmon]

the moebian 6th were facing hell, and when they came home, nobody really knew or cared

[crisp heath]

If I had to guess it's our staging area for this sector of the fringe and the halo stars.

[dense salmon]

the darktide was just the nebulous term, same way the well-off just saw the great war as the great war

[crisp heath]

And that's what makes it strategically important

[solid valley]

think we will ever goto other planets in the sector

[dense salmon]

it's a meaningless, empty term you throw at a far-off hostility

[solid valley]

cause i doubt they are ok lol

[crisp heath]

Doubtful

Not in this game at least

Maybe in a darktide 2

[arctic talon]

They're at peace rn

keyword rn

The moebian sixth are intrested in Atoma Prime bcs of how much they could get out of it

[crisp heath]

This game will have its hands full with adding possible factions and a cohesive story

[arctic talon]

its a hive city with a huge industry for war material

[dense salmon]

From the wiki page of the moebian domain: "Long tours result in trauma, both physical and psychological. Some lasmen are broken by the experience. Some are made bitter and resentful that the gruelling combat they experience is generally unrecognised back home, because the Administratum tends to keep all details of the ongoing conflict quiet so as not to generate public alarm. There might be a few news broadcasts about "great victories," but the rest of the turmoil is screened by propaganda."

[crisp heath]

@arctic talon the ones we choose our characters homeworlds from, yes. But we are in the fringe and there are the halo stars nearby. If they wanted to add new worlds they could

[dense salmon]

very much an all quiet on the western front scenario

[crisp heath]

I just don't think they should

[arctic talon]

Yeah def

I love this art ngl

[crisp heath]

Same!! The art for this game has definitely been top notch

[dense salmon]

It's sad to think these people were seen as heroes when they left

[arctic talon]

How far they've fallen

I like the super torn up purity seals on some of their gear still

it shows their past

[crisp heath]

I honestly found it extreme fitting. You'd be surprised how often that exact thing happens irl

[solid valley]

was always doubtful of this seeing as they dont even tell us about the other cities on atoma prime
and the fact we must secure the production centres on atoma when there is a forge world in the system

just seemed weird to me

[arctic talon]

is there a forge world in system?

[solid valley]

branx magna

[arctic talon]

Branx magna isn't a forge world

its an industrial world

very big difference

[crisp heath]

My uncle talks about it a lot... most of my family is ex military of some kind. And it's always men and women joining for ideals, and coming back to be looked at like murderers. Don't matter what story you give, people looked at you different.

[solid valley]

oh my bad been a while since ive looked at the character creation screen

[dense salmon]

I'm in the same boat. Many of the men in my family are veterans

[arctic talon]

oh it absolutely does

[solid valley]

wonder how things are going on the fringes for the other moebian regiments since the VIth left

[crisp heath]

Not well if the war made it to atoma

Literally should have never got here. The fact that fighting is happening here basically means the frontline collapsed completely

I should say the fact that widespread fighting is happening here, that means that. If it was small pockets here and there, an argument could be said that the enemy had snuck behind our lines. But that's not the case. Nobody sent warning of the 6ths betrayal. Nobody is stopping the daemonic reinforcements

All signs point to things being very bad out there in the fringe

[solid valley]

i always thought it was maybe executed when they where on leave but now that im thinking its probably unlikely for an entire regiment to be home at the same time

[storm jungle]

We get some teases about from the vox recordings

Basically the Dregs started a small uprising, the 6th were called in as backup when in reality they were already corrupted themselves so they Trojan Horse'd their way in and started massacring everyone

they are suppose to be THE most decorated regiment, nobody was expecting this

[solid valley]

do we think we will get news of whats actually been the centre of their attention on the fringes

[crisp heath]

Right. But the fact that they were out in the fringe and got corrupted and came back and Nobody knew anything or said anything doesn't spell well for the fringe

[storm jungle]

It has nothing to do with whats going on Atoma so prob not

https://youtu.be/K9ehQBoJZLo?list=PLGs5rDULwtHqN5z3W61eJt3cD0S0FPiiQ&t=28

[crisp heath]

@solid valley no. Because that's part of the "fringe". The fringe is literally just the outermost ring of the galaxy. It consists of a massive swath of area. We are likely near the "north east" side, simply because we can pick cadia as a home world and that's where it is. It's also near the halo stars, where we know a lot of shit happens. Anyway. The main point of these areas is their eldritch horror. Things get weird out here. Unknown tech and xenos, curses and warp fuckery

[soft thunder]

Most stuff states tertium is the only city on Tertium, and by most I mean all

[storm jungle]

Theres other hives on Atoma

[soft thunder]

THe rejects dialogue is the only thing that mentions other hives on atoma, as far as im aware

[solid valley]

there is dialogue for every character asking about the sister city
the cities expanded to the point where alot of them became one big city
but it seems this one is far enough away still to be considered it own

[storm jungle]

you can see them from the Mourningstar

so its not just the dialogue

[crisp heath]

Tertium... literally means the three that became one, or something really close to that

Im sorry, ahem: some third thing similar to two opposites but distinct from both

Meaning, two opposing city's joined to become a new third city

Tertium

[patent ivy]

Reminds me of the Princeps

[celest dome]

We've had dev confirmation that there are at least 3 Hives

[soft thunder]

alright I'm gonna start looking through images we have been given so far of Atoma, but all item descriptions so far only mention tertium or refer to tertium as the only hive/city of worth. Could be propoganda by an unrealiable narrator tho, that's kinda the thing for 40k

[celest dome]

Those we see might still be part of the Tertium Hive cluster

[crisp heath]

Actually I take back what I said

[soft thunder]

do you know from where? or is this in reference to the 3 cities can combined to become tertium?

[storm jungle]

its more that the main action is taking place on Tertium

so no point in mentioning the others much

[crisp heath]

I believe two opposing city's exist, and Tertium is the Third thing similar but distinct from them

[solid valley]

im happy they finally addressed there are either scab or dreg psykers in the newest missions
when wolfer asks to consult the witches to find us
i hope they get an enemy

[soft thunder]

also, they are refering the the moebian fringe when they say fringe, not the galactic fringe

[crisp heath]

Specifically where is the moebian fringe

[slate belfry]

Every now and then you get the types who join specifically to kill people. I know a few.

[soft thunder]

NW segmentum solar

[storm jungle]

Also Atoma is BIG-BIG

[crisp heath]

@soft thunder source?

[storm jungle]

You can see a cluster there

[celest dome]

It wad when we asked the CM if Tertium meant 3, and that it was the third Hive. And they said yes.
Also I think the Voice lines do somewhat credibilize that there is a 2nd hive that will become part of the game

[solid valley]

we already knew this cause of beasts of nurgle and daemonhosts but cool none the less

[soft thunder]

luetin 09 exclusive deep dive

[crisp heath]

... great. I'll look for a source

[storm jungle]

Nah Luetin is solid

he was given info straight from the devs

[patent ivy]

I've seen bigger 🤷🏻‍♂️

[storm jungle]

[soft thunder]

https://youtu.be/VwLoEhgcyzc?si=eqOBamBzDzHJhIaX&t=1084

[patent ivy]

Good video

[storm jungle]

Only Luetin video I was overjoyed watching

[patent ivy]

Whats wrong with em?

[storm jungle]

Uhh

either the subject is dull or Luetin is just not an entertaining narrator

[patent ivy]

I think that's the only one I've seen of his

Ah

[winter vessel]

Baldermort for me.

[celest dome]

In theory all of the spikes could be under the dominion of Tertium

[patent ivy]

Okay I may have been wrong

Oops

[storm jungle]

Lmao there it is

[winter vessel]

I've only seen his Krieg video while cooking dinner

[soft thunder]

I'm going to start digging through other exclusive promo stuff they did, I've been trying to compile all sources of info on the fandom wiki, so if u know the source it'd help out the community

[crisp heath]

@storm jungle @soft thunder not that he's not. But literally I've seen no where it's clearly stated where any of this is happening is

At all

[storm jungle]

the what?

[crisp heath]

So leutin is pulling that specific fact out his butt without a source

[storm jungle]

No its literally from the devs

he played the game on release and thanked Fatshark for it

why would he lie about any of that

[crisp heath]

I'm bot saying he is

[storm jungle]

Fatshark asked him to make the vid as a promo

[crisp heath]

But he definitely spitballs sometimes when there isn't everything

And that's a spitball

[storm jungle]

yeah when its open-ended subjects

with this its clear he had a subject

[soft thunder]

correct this is the only source for segmentum solar, however it's basically confirmed from ingame material that we are in imperium sanctus, somewhere between cadia and terra

[crisp heath]

Because there is again nothing anywhere giving any indication where this is happening except the homeworlds you can choose feom

And the only one on the 40k map is cadia

[solid valley]

i think weshammer is more enjoyable to watch if its something im putting on in the background luetin just makes me sleepy but alot of people dont like some of wes videos for inaccuaracies

[storm jungle]

yeah hes too much of uhhh

tiktokker

lmao

Also those thumbnails 💀

[patent ivy]

Going through my history to see if I've watched these people

[crisp heath]

I literally circled cadia

[solid valley]

there also seems to be alot of cadians serving in moebian regiments from sets we have gotten so far

[soft thunder]

and I'm not saying there isn't potentional for there to be other hives on Atoma, just saying nothing mentions other settlements besides our character dialogue

[storm jungle]

Thats just outfits

[crisp heath]

It's also a homeworld

[storm jungle]

Im pretty sure theres no dozens of Cutthroats all with the same voice serving Grendyl

[crisp heath]

So I mean we do have cadians

[patent ivy]

Yeah I deeffinetly did not watch 5 of his videos

[solid valley]

i more meant the little stories attached to them but i dont know how much we can take those as accurate

[storm jungle]

They are accurate.

[solid valley]

like the cadian tanker one specifically talked about serving in a moebian regiment im sure

[storm jungle]

the thing is those are special characters in Grendyl's retinue

[solid valley]

or im a schizo

[storm jungle]

its more just us cosplaying

"Canonically" the outfits everyone wears in the warband is penance gear and so on

stuff you see random rejects wear in the cutscenes etc

[crisp heath]

@storm jungle this is all well and dandy, except it is a homeworld! So it's within the domain! Like point blank period.... idk why that's difficult... all the homeworlds are part of the domain, we know this.

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

Like, whether we wear pemamxe or not, some are still from cadia

[soft thunder]

Cadia isn't part of the moebian domain

[crisp heath]

And that let's us plot at least one world in the moebian on the 40k map

[storm jungle]

also Cadians were spread FAR after the Fall

some cadians went to a forgeworld for safety

they uhhh

got turned into servitors

💀

LOL

[outer wave]

Question: do you guys think that Wolfe truly believes in what hes spouting despite turning civvies into poxwalkers, or do you think he's just using others to get a better footing on the war theatre by getting more liable recruits?

[storm jungle]

He absolutely believes in it.

Chaos followers tend to be very serious about this stuff

Dan Abnett also details it out on his blogpost for the 6th, they really do consider themselves enlightened and want to share the truth with Atoma.

[crisp heath]

@soft thunder cadia isn't part of any domain anymore, tbf

[storm jungle]

The issue is they also are very dog-eat-dog, if you can listen to some of the announcers/large broadcasters in some levels they basically go

"YOU CAN EITHER JOIN US, OR BE TURNED INTO A POXWALKER"

[crisp heath]

Can't find a specific source on the domain cadia resided in before it fell, so technically, no reason to separate it out

[outer wave]

Damn didnt know that they had announcer lines

Its hard to hear tbh

[storm jungle]

Its VERY hard to hear

lmao yeah

Basically the ones that say these lines are in the Hourglass missions where its a Dreg and also a Moebian dude in the Enforcer Station right before you go past the inner-walls

[crisp heath]

If you go to setting, theres a slide tab you can adjust that turns down the horde volume in relation to voice line

[soft thunder]

I imagine he did that w/ any in their ranks that opposed wolfer and company when the 6th turned traitor. leave em to poxxers and all that

[storm jungle]

yeah they basically want willing convertees

[crisp heath]

Can make it easier to hear voice line but can screw with hearing dodge stuff

[storm jungle]

they consider poxwalkers as just fodder

they arent even fully human anymore so why care

that kind of mentality

[outer wave]

Thing is, they actively infected the populace with Walking Pox

Yet they want those same people on their side

[storm jungle]

Its pretty much probably seen as a "part" of the war to them

[soft thunder]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cadian_Sector

[storm jungle]

and consider Tertium has like 90 Billion people in it, whats a few infected to other devotees you can get.

[soft thunder]

domain=sector basically

[storm jungle]

from there though its just guess-work

since we got no idea if they get recruits or not

[outer wave]

They should convince the populace with kindness....

[crisp heath]

@soft thunder OK, my only qualm is that doesn't really have any information on cadias system... but fair enough

[outer wave]

And love....

[storm jungle]

If only 💀

[outer wave]

And peace...

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah I forgot

we also know at least one big noble-house is in on this shit

so I guess they got more sympathisers than we realise

[crisp heath]

Weird that didn't come up when I searched for what domain cadia resided in on Google lol

[solid valley]

its on the wiki page for cadia

[soft thunder]

so yall think the moebian 33rd still serve the margraves?

[crisp heath]

@solid valley I stay away from the wiki

Lex hadn't done me wrong but the wiki lied to me before lol

[soft thunder]

sector=domain

[outer wave]

Honestly that house could potentially "save" lives if they're a popular among the lower classes

[storm jungle]

Rich People Moment

[solid valley]

there is a line where the cadian vet says someone should just shoot all the atoman nobles lol

[misty brook]

Unfortunately, most of the time the Noble Houses don't care for the slums and the people who literally work themselves to death for the war.

[soft thunder]

I mean they are getting stimms smuggled in as well, so seems like more signs of tertium insider help

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah we basically know they got insider help, theres an entire mission around it with Archivum Sycorax

[outer wave]

I wonder what the stimm is exactly

[soft thunder]

drugs

[outer wave]

I know

[soft thunder]

space drugs

[tulip brook]

these guys snuck into the big library thing

[solid valley]

i think its the stuff the ragers and chaos spawn have like 50 syringes of stabbed into them

[tulip brook]

they definitely have help from higher whatevers

[storm jungle]

Its probably a performance-booster with warp-taint

[outer wave]

But is it commonly found amongst the populace, the military, or is it Nurgle-special pus juice?

[storm jungle]

Morrow says it makes them "tougher"

[crisp heath]

... well. I guess I wish the map was just more fleshed out then. Because I still feel with Cadia being one of the Homeworlds, that indicates it's not far. But at the same time I also know it was just fanservice also. So 🤷‍♂️ who knows.

[solid valley]

a more fleshed out map would make it more difficult for people to makes stories and games imo

[storm jungle]

I mean no

its space

[outer wave]

Doesnt make much sense considering its just the psychological effect that works for combat drugs, but then again 40k space bullshit and all that

[storm jungle]

theres not really a lack of... space

[arctic talon]

Tbh

[crisp heath]

@solid valley not really. It would allow for better story telling

[storm jungle]

Yeah like i said its warp-tainted, so thats mcguffin for "anything goes"

[arctic talon]

haave you seen a person on meth lol

[soft thunder]

Stimms are illegal for recriational use, however they are used regularly as combat-stimms, the sanctioned kind. They have the effect of increasin focus, speed, keep u from passing out, etc.

[arctic talon]

They don't go down

[soft thunder]

ya it' meth

[solid valley]

well if you make a game and you are like this planet is in this segmentum and you have a very detailed map of every planet there people will be like where abouts blah blah blah

[arctic talon]

I would like an actual location

[crisp heath]

Literally it allows for the traversing of the galaxy in a way that can be followed.

[arctic talon]

for the Moebian dominion

tbh

bcs rn its ????

[tulip brook]

nurgle meth, all the aggression and health concerns, none of the fun

[outer wave]

True, but doesnt change their actual strength, least to a degree anyway. Again, space drug thats probably full of Nurgle's toe shavings so who knows

[storm jungle]

never say toe-shavings again

[arctic talon]

Yeah I'm not saying it makes you stronger

but like

it certianly makes you have a higher tolerance to pain and such

[outer wave]

True true

[tulip brook]

it should make you stronger in death guard marine way

[soft thunder]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Combat_drug

[solid valley]

death guard show up in atoma and kill us all

[misty brook]

Most likely combat enchancement stimms.

[solid valley]

please enjoy

[crisp heath]

Actually, it 100 percent can make you "stronger" in that in an altered state, you are more likely to use strength you normally wouldn't. Makes it easier to tear muscles

[misty brook]

Deathguard wouldn't bother with Atoma. They got better things to do, and better yet. Mortaion and Ku'gath are put in the naughty corner by Nurgle. Espically when the Emperor burned his garden and himself too.

[storm jungle]

I mean no

Chaos marines invade wherever they want

some guys just go and invade the most random-ass planets because "lol people to kill"

[crisp heath]

You don't actually hulk out. It's strength you always had the potential for, but your body would usually stop before it got dangerous. Drugs can turn that safety off

[tulip brook]

death guard has a lot of numbers, they can spare a few warbands to go wherever

[solid valley]

there is a psyker voiceline that says something about what we are looking for is deep deep underground
what would be deep deep under atoma

[dense salmon]

Khornate berserkers are driven so mad with bloodlust they'd crash into any planet they come across just to tear apart whoever was on it

[storm jungle]

the Underhive

[tulip brook]

jean stealers!

[solid valley]

ye well obviously but i doubt we are looking for the underhive lol

[storm jungle]

We got no idea either way.

its just a random voiceline

[crisp heath]

We've been in some parts of the underhive already if I'm not mistaken?

Like the sewage and what not...

[storm jungle]

the underhive yes but not THE proper Deep Hive

[solid valley]

psyker comes out and tells use his beloved never existed and he is just high as kite in a few month

[tulip brook]

i think we were mostly in underhive

[crisp heath]

They're coming I tell you!!!

YouTube says so!!!

[soft thunder]

also, sorry, was this on discord or the forums somewhere?

[crisp heath]

Reddit I think@soft thunder

[languid salmon]

The under under hive?

[storm jungle]

🇦🇺

[shadow plover]

down under hive

[queen laurel]

Australian wildlife makes tyranids look tame

[crisp heath]

You could say the fromundahive

Lol

[tulip brook]

death world of queensland

[solid valley]

what sort of guard regiments do they have

[queen laurel]

The famed desert spiders

[tulip brook]

the kind that shoots the birds from air and still lose the war. I heard they aren't the best

[crisp heath]

Their called a deathcorp for a different reason

[solid valley]

so in my game earlier the characters where talking about abhumans and the zealot said something about bringing someone out of the sea and seeing how useful they are
do we have fish people abhumans

[misty brook]

If you guys didn't know. Followers of Nurgle will use space whales as Void Ships. Now imagine one crash landing/beaching itself on a world. Diseased rotten space whale meat, everywhere.

[soft thunder]

that nerd knows what Pelagers are and acts like its common knowledge

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Pelager

agitator just has weird obscure knowledge of 40k imperium stuff

[solid valley]

omg fish people are real

[misty brook]

We have lizard people too.

Well on Necromunda.

[soft thunder]

ogryn mermaids, or more like small sea giants

[solid valley]

id like to see the goatmen imperial guards but apparently nothing has been done with them since like the 80s so i dont think ill ever see an up to date depiction of them

[soft thunder]

we had new goatmen trator guardsmen recently released

[tulip brook]

guardsmen line is busy enough without goats imo

[soft thunder]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/05/02/beastmen-are-back-the-fellgor-ravagers-return-to-the-41st-millennium-at-their-braying-best/

I'd be ok w/ beastmen getting added to darktide

I'd love it in fact, just dont make me pay for a WoM DLC

[tulip brook]

cadian, krieg, elysian, vostroyan, steel legion, catachan... if you are determined enough you can fill a roster with unique minis

[solid valley]

my local warhammer shop has had a baneblade tank on display for so long and everytime i walk past im like hmmm i like that tank

surprised no one has bought it

people hate the imperial guard here i guess

[median marsh]

I think the pricetag is a massive deterrent

[celest dome]

Maps, modes and enemy won't be paid dlc if they don't change from what they've announced.
But I'll be honest I don't want to see BM as an enemy.
Maybe as special cosmetics ?

[solid valley]

how expensive is it anyway ive never went into the store closest i got was the front door and all the men twice my age seemed very intimidating lol

[median marsh]

170 bucks on GW store

[crisp heath]

@soft thunder @solid valley there's an ocean world in the homeworlds. Possible Fishman coming to Darktide? 😉 😉

[tulip brook]

ig is one of the pricier armies to collect too

[soft thunder]

just print your own tank and make it look way cooler than the GW one for a quarter of the price from etsy

[tulip brook]

elite armies are cheaper, less models

[solid valley]

you'd need to give them fish bowl helmets i think

i dont think they can breath normal air

[crisp heath]

😆

A fishbowl I'm the hellholes our rejects walk through?

[soft thunder]

put a fishbowl on a ogryn and call it a day

[crisp heath]

Thatd last about as long as a postit note in a bonfire

On both occasions lol

[tulip brook]

everybody seems to be wearing rebreathers anyway, that'll do

[solid valley]

speaking of races though

[crisp heath]

And the second one youd have a mad or sad ogryn on your hands

[solid valley]

i wonder if female ogryns will ever happen

[crisp heath]

Pretty sure it's a necessity almost with the air quality lol

[misty brook]

They do exist, we just haven't seen one yet, outside of a plastic model.

[shadow plover]

In Darktide or in general 40k?

[crisp heath]

Lol your choice

[solid valley]

darktide

[misty brook]

I'm glad the Moebian Sixth don't have something like this in their unit. Because that is the closest thing to a dreadnought they will ever have.

[solid valley]

inb4 the tox ogryn is actually added next month

[crisp heath]

@solid valley these are female ogryn

[solid valley]

you will have exactly that

[soft thunder]

wasn't there a big reddit post going off about female ogryn and why it's lore-accurate we don't see them in game or something?

[solid valley]

isnt the right one just an ogre from warhammer fantasy?

[verbal path]

Neither of those are Ogryns.

[shadow plover]

yes, bloodbowl to be exact

[shadow plover]

left is some third party mini

[crisp heath]

@solid valley possible. Would there be much difference lol?

That's what came up when I looked up female ogryn

[soft thunder]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cassia_(Ogryn) only mention of female ogryn I found

[crisp heath]

Cassia is dope for a lot of reasons

[solid valley]

not sure if its just the minis being bad but creed and his daughter built like someone fucked an ogryn in their family tree

[crisp heath]

First natural born psycher ogryn too

[verbal path]

There's at least one in the Ciaphas Cain books

[misty brook]

Jurgen got hit on by her.

[crisp heath]

I don't think it's natural though

Pretty sure it's drug made from necromunda

Oh you mean female. I thought yall meant psycher

[celest dome]

Cassia is a natural Ogryn Psyker afawk

[crisp heath]

Yea she is

I thought they meant the ogryn from the Cain books

I misunderstood

I think they meant it was a female

[verbal path]

Cassia's powers may or may not have been due to the Eye of Terror blowing up

[crisp heath]

Oh they definitely were

When I say natural born, I just mean not drug induced

All psychers develop due to the warp and the Eye

[misty brook]

It's just Humanity evolving to be a Psyker Race, means abhumans too. The Emperor foresaw it and why he built his webway project. The great rift just made it go way faster.

[tulip brook]

a magician who can blow your head off with a punch. I'd want her in my crew

[crisp heath]

@tulip brook yea she was pretty badass

[tulip brook]

like sm librarian in discount

[misty brook]

And smartest Ogryn too. I don't know if she can count above four though.

[crisp heath]

Lmao yes she could

She was doing like full blown research and keeping a journal

[tulip brook]

wiki says she taught herself reading and writing in fine calligraphy

[crisp heath]

She could count lmao

[tulip brook]

she's way beyond counting

[solid valley]

can someone become a psyker at any age?

like i know a bunch more happened recently but not to knowledgable on age range

[tulip brook]

yes, but it's less likely to be tolerated in an already bad situation

a kiddo with magic might find themselves in schola but a nobody being awakened is more likely to be accused of heresy or yeeted to big e snack factory

[misty brook]

Alright I need read that book now. There's a Ogryn who got smarter from getting shot in the head by a sniper. Clodde from the novel Dredge Runners.

Ganger 1: "Hey there big fella. We're on our own. Just like we promised."

Clodde: "..."

Ganger 2: "I don't think he can hear ya'."

Clodde: "I can hear you. I'm just trying to comprehend the transcendent nature of silence. Have a listen... don't get much of that in the Dredge, eh?"

Ganger 1: "Uh, whatever you say, now..."

Clodde: "I feel elevated to a state above the ceaseless cacophony of ego and emotion. A state in which I can truly grasp all the I and I extension the galaxy are and shall ever be."

Ganger 1: "... I have no idea what you just said."

Clodde: "Me neither. Who are you again?"

Ganger 1: "We are with the Underberg Carnivores? Here to purchase the... munitions."

Clodde: "Oh, yeah, I got distracted by the universal potential for spiritual unity. Sorry."

[tulip brook]

why do we associate smarts with neckbeard gibberish is beyond me

[celest dome]

You can have the Psychic awakening later in life but you would stoll have some latent Psychic stuff since birth

[celest dome]

I think it's more about Philosopher in general, which sadly are a big inspiration for neckbeard

Also "saying nothing while not being silent" type of stuff

[zenith sinew]

I think it's more the writer trying to come up with something that sounds deep and falling far short

[celest dome]

Yes, but it's trying to emulate Philosopher rather than Neackbeard
Who also try to emulate philosopher

[slate belfry]

Philosopher is transmuted Neckbeard

[winged jacinth]

Idk why anyone would think there arent female ogryn lol, they're a stable subspecies and they dont reproduce by budding

[median marsh]

Reddit users don't know what women look like, what did you expect

[green loom]

Whoever made that post is very wrong

[green loom]

I mean in this case we don't actually know what female ogryn look like

[median marsh]

True

[tulip brook]

lemme bs my way to why female ogryns don't exist:

it's a recessive gene only affects males making them grow really big yadayada

[median marsh]

Do you see the groundhog? Me neither. But it exists

[green loom]

Is the ratling in the room with us now

[median marsh]

writing concept of a ratling that's really good at sneaking and uses this skill to mess with a guardsman, hiding from everyone else

[queen laurel]

yeah the one that we saw was on a book and psychic, other than that there is no more mention of them in the lore

[median marsh]

My favorite bit is a Reddit post speculating that Fem ogryns are...."Tall lolis"

To this day I'm still not entirely convinced that wasn't a copypasta

[tulip brook]

that's the charm of reddit

you'll never know

[median marsh]

In the Cain books Jurgen got hit on by one iirc

[queen laurel]

Unless i need a specific answer to my problem i do not go to that place

[queen laurel]

Oh really

[median marsh]

Lemme see if I can fetch the quote

[winged jacinth]

[arctic talon]

There’s a few mentions of female ogryn

[median marsh]

"Even Jurgen was being flirted with outrageously, which struck me as truly bizarre. The only female I’d ever known to take a romantic interest in him before was an ogryn on R&R, and she’d been drunk at the time. He picked at his food nervously, responding as best he could, but it was clear he was out of his depth."

[arctic talon]

[tulip brook]

good for reading interesting book excerpts and specific lore. not so good for speculation

[queen laurel]

Yeah also useful for acquiring stuff

[median marsh]

I'm picturing how a flirting, drunk ogryn would look like and it's quite a mental image

[queen laurel]

That place must have a hilarious amount of alcohol if an ogryn can get drunk to that degree

[tulip brook]

still better looking than jurgen

[green loom]

He's literally me

[median marsh]
