#

Not a single soldier amongst their lot etc

umbral nymph
#

Theyre basically conscripts that do garrison duty

#

While Mobians are trained troops that the Emprium sends out

dusk patrol
#

Yes and I’m saying sometimes it’s pdf sometimes it’s guard who are with us

#

The guard is the best of the worlds pdf typically

#

The distinction I imagine doesn’t matter much anymore for Atoma also as far as whose fighting with who

crisp heath
#

There's no intercross between them? Most militaries have some movement between their forces. Like an army grunt can go to sniper school and get deployed with the navy sometimes, or vice versa. Militaries can mix

dusk patrol
#

It’s just a mix, Grendy probably has overall command and delegates as needed

green loom
#

No

#

They're the Moebian 21st

dusk patrol
#

But typically they select the best pdf and form regiments

spring cairn
#

nah

#

they're a different regiment

green loom
#

You can see the white line on some Scab units also

spring cairn
#

friendly guards are from the moebian 21st

green loom
#

We're about to get cosmetics for the 21st as well

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

umbral nymph
dusk patrol
#

The audio logs mention them to

umbral nymph
#

Huh color me corrected then

dusk patrol
#

I will not smh

spring cairn
#

no pdf as far as we know

dusk patrol
#

I hate coloring

umbral nymph
dusk patrol
#

There’s pdf mentioned sometimes but idk if we ever see them

#

Probably not having a good time

#

As is the natural state of pdfs

spring cairn
#

they probably either defected to the 6th or intergrated in the 21st at that point

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

At this point the imperium forces are likely a hodgepodge under Grendyls command

dire apex
#

Or took heavy casualties from the cult of admonition

spring cairn
#

21st seem fairly competent

dusk patrol
#

They’re holding the line barely

#

Even taking some ground

umbral nymph
#

I've always assumed they were PDF forces as how much the Cadian and Professional shit talk them so much for not being actual soldiers. Which is pretty common for Guard to distinguish themselves from PDF forces. Not that theres much diffirence when facing chaos.

dusk patrol
#

Pretty impressive considering the 6ths reputation

#

And the help the 6th is getting

spring cairn
#

according to the new cosmetic description they're reputed for their campaign on some ocean world

dusk patrol
#

Yeah they’re not bad at all

#

The 6th is just like

#

Legendary

#

They have a ton of really really good gear

#

Lots of Ogryns

#

They’re very well equipped

#

Plus chaos

umbral nymph
#

Guess the 21st got the better end of the deployment stick. Facing down probably rebels or Xenos in some Ocean world rather than the 6th facing chaos all the time

winged jacinth
#

The 21st are probably an excellent marine regiment

dusk patrol
#

The 6th have also been embroiled in holding back whatever the Darktide is for god knows how long so they’re combat hardened and proven as fuck.

winged jacinth
#

But they've been stuck in urban warfare

spring cairn
#

6th got probably called to atoma in support of the uprising sponsored by one of the noble house rival to the one in power

dusk patrol
#

It’s heavily implied this was all planned I thought

spring cairn
#

nobles are the real vilain in dt

dusk patrol
#

The cult and the 6th

umbral nymph
#

Like a boogeyman

dusk patrol
#

Yeah but there’s a specific like zone they’re defending from

umbral nymph
#

Easier propaganda for recruiting

dusk patrol
#

I imagine it’s just chaos forces

#

But what the nature of them is, who knows

#

Regardless it’s still an endless war against whatever

#

That they’ve been known to fight for a long time

umbral nymph
#

Yeah chaos probably took the Darktide motif for themselves, also for better dramatic effect

remote blaze
#

The Darktide is the endless xenos and chaotic horrors constantly assaulting the Atoman Subsector

dusk patrol
#

It’s like how the GG books just call the enemy “the archenemy” a lot of times

#

Just a generic catch all term

umbral nymph
#

"WE ARE THE DARKTIDE" or some form of that. Thats a pretty heretic thing to do

remote blaze
#

Wildspace be like that, or Frontier Space or whatever they're calling it this time

spring cairn
#

imagine darktide taking place at the actual front

#

in the fringes

winged jacinth
#

I hope you like trenches

spring cairn
#

i need a trench network map

#

right now

umbral nymph
#

Imagine an expansion where we actually push back the 6th back to their original lines and along with the 21st do strike missions helping them out in the trenches of their original battlefields

remote blaze
#

Then the Alpha Legion shows up and everything goes Alpharius

dusk patrol
spring cairn
#

vast semi open bunkers linked by narrow trenches where the poxwalkers trip on eachother

#

where you get a horde in front and behind

#

perfect

umbral nymph
remote blaze
#

Meanwhile let's check on the real Alpharius...no, he's still bodied.

arctic talon
#

So, no head

dusk patrol
#

I’d like to apologize

#

In advance

Yeah we clearly see Zeus in marvel smh

storm jungle

Lmfao christ

#

Homer was a hack

storm jungle
#

I do like how Marvel legit ruined the image of most deities in fiction

dusk patrol
#

Hey now, some of them are dope

storm jungle
#

makes me glad stuff like God of War Ragnarok was actually doing original stuff

dusk patrol
#

Just not in their movies

storm jungle

True true

dusk patrol
#

Thor got to be cool til Endgame at least

forest orbit

"THOR SHOULD BE THIS BODY BUILDER BADASS"

Meanwhile my spirit animal fat thor from Ragnarok:

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

That’s not fat, that’s cultivated mass

#

And not the meme kind

storm jungle
#

Yeee he has the strongman build

#

my guy is built af

dusk patrol
#

That’s the “I can manhandle you and literally just barrel into you with my weight”

#

“Also I have a hammer”

storm jungle
#

My guy killed so many giant homies 💀

dusk patrol
#

Still need to play it, waiting for PC

#

Have somehow managed to avoid spoilers

#

Besides some minor stuff

storm jungle
#

Spoilers: Odin is a bad person

dusk patrol
#

Damn

#

He seemed so nice

#

At least that Thor guy seems cool

storm jungle
#

Lmao

#

good game tho, good that you avoided spoilers

dusk patrol
#

Yeah I’m looking forward to playing it in indeterminate amount of time

storm jungle

I like my Thor

#

Ever seen those videos of these hulking, mini ogryn, strongmen, slapping each other? Wonder how bad of a slap from tubs Thor will be?

dusk patrol
#

I suspect

#

And I have no real experience but I suspect

#

It would hurt

#

Actually I kinda do have experience but for legal reasons I don’t

forest orbit

Bro laughs after he got slapped and it was his turn

It’s terrifying

dusk patrol
#

High school wrestling heavy weight was always amusing for that reason

#

Cause if someone was going to state the coach would make them wrestle the whole team in a row

#

From smallest to biggest

#

As a fun thing

dusk patrol
#

And we had a guy in the 220 class who got through everyone

#

And then he got to the heavyweights

umbral nymph
#

Zola technically being under Alice to some degree is kinda hilarious

forest orbit
#

Its less under

#

more just Hallowette gets people stuff

#

do you piss off your local market person

umbral nymph
#

i know not under under, dont want to disrespect the crew of your UBER

spring cairn
#

and they're all basically squatting her ship

#

rannick and all

green loom

More like

#

dense salmon
#

Utgard-loki challenged thor to a drinking contest in which he tricked thor into drinking a portion of the world's oceans

#

Thor is such an alcoholic he didnt notice the "mead" was ocean water

dusk patrol
#

That sounds like a terrible alcoholic

#

Every one I’ve know has definitely noticed when they’re not drinking alcohol

dense salmon
#

Lol

arctic talon
#

lol

#

Gotta get them drunk enough first

dense salmon
#

Im not much of a drinker but you could slip me soju or tequila and I might not notice

crisp heath
#

You left out the best part

#

When he urinated the mead out, that's high tide

dusk patrol
#

lol

soft thunder
#

just noticed a new (to me) adhuman comment from our dear zealots. This time commenting on Neandors, from the fanatic. Agitator drops a mention of Pelagers. I wonder if judge knows an obscure abhuman reference as well?

dusk patrol
#

They’re basically unga bunga people

#

Neanderthals

soft thunder
#

ye

dusk patrol
#

Cause the name

#

The Pelagers, also known as Homo Sapien Oceanus, are a recognized strain of Abhuman within the Imperium.[1]
Often hailing from worlds which are entirely underwater, Pelagers have the ability to breathe almost any liquid, and live under pressures which would crush any standard human, as well as standard pressures. They are possessed of iron-hard ...

#

Pelagers are water people basically

soft thunder
#

ya water ogryns more or less

dusk patrol
#

Atlanteans or whatever

soft thunder
#

just curious if judge mentions a random abhuman too

dusk patrol
#

Oh, I have no idea, maybe felinids

#

I’m pretty sure someone references them

soft thunder
#

nah that's mr. beloved

#

male seer is into that stuff

dusk patrol
#

I was find it unbelievable that these guys would know about all these different abhumans

#

Considering how obscure some of them are

#

Most I think have like one world there ever referenced to live on

soft thunder
#

eh, you can poke holes in it or justify if you want, but it's just for the audience at the end of the day

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

It’s nice little flavor stuff

soft thunder
#

the agitator i kinda get, he's always trying to 1-up people and feel smart. So of course he would mention weird random stuff he read once in the archives or something and act like veryone else is simpletons for not knowing what a pelager is.

#

I imagine agiator was a 40k office worker

#

and Seer, well beloved knows all, so that justifies basically any out of game knowledge

remote blaze
#

None of those abhumans have been talked about since 1983 lol

#

They went deep places for the lore, good job Obese Fish.

dusk patrol
#

Some are referenced in FFG books iirc

#

But yeah it’s sparse as hell

soft thunder
#

indeed, they did the same thing in vermintide and that got me into the fantasy old world lore

dusk patrol
#

They also pop up as small mentions in some books

molten swan
#

the pelager is referenced by uhh the rogue trader guy iirc?

#

the one that went to the black fortress

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

There’s small references here and there

molten swan
#

ye

#

they'

#

they'd be cool to see*

green loom
#

I wonder if Grendyl will inherit the power of the founding titan

dusk patrol
molten swan
#

Maybe the vet will get some crazy like "looter" class and they can get a shotlas?

dusk patrol
#

Here’s hoping

molten swan
#

👀

dusk patrol
#

I want us to get funky

molten swan
#

stormtrooper is probably a given

green loom
#

They should add a revolver Easter egg where you can play Russian roulette when you're on 1 bullet

dusk patrol
#

It would probably just be a skill tree expansion for Vet

molten swan
#

so hotshot lasguns and laspistols, maybe plasma pistols and stuff like power swords / power fists etc

#

kinda suprised the vet doesnt have a power fist tbh

soft thunder
#

that's what their ogryn buddies are for

arctic talon
#

Lack of power fist

#

Might be because they don’t want to compete with thunderhammer or smthing

#

Idk

#

Or they don’t know how to give it like combos lol

storm jungle
#

Vet deffo needs a blunt-force weapon

#

so the fist needs to be added at some point

arctic talon
#

Give them the trench club from killteam

echo vault
carmine swift
#

Wtf is the lore behind a zealot? Vets-somehow survived a battle, ogryns-big, psyker-magic, zealot-prays a lot?

echo vault
#

What gets them in trouble is when they're too fanatical and think stuff like "Navigators are heretical" and that can cause issues

carmine swift
#

do zealots actually wield faith in the lore? like raising a holy cross and burning heretics?

echo vault
#

to the maximum

#

there's definitely been a couple times in the imperium where zealots claimed key important imperial organizations were heretical (Mechanicus, ordos xenos, navigators aka the pilots of most ships)

arctic talon
#

One way or another lol

echo vault
#

so you don't want a horde of enraged angry zealots wanting to chop your navigator into peices thinking they're an alien when in fact killing them would send the entire ship into hell

#

or getting too upity to the mechanicus delegation and your church groups of crazy people with hammers turn into a servitor colony

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Also its a game so some of that is just representative of them like bolstering morale or whatever

#

Like when they guardsmen shouts and everyone gains bonus toughness

storm jungle
#

Its very much tabletop-esque yeah

#

where literally anyone can do weird magical/stat-boost shit out of nowhere.

#

GW also is behind the approval of new skills and such too so if it has their patent then it adds up

river kite
#

That shit looks like bionicle

desert dust
vale fjord
#

I wonder why grendyl didn't bother sending in the grey knights but use rejects to purge the heretics and the daemonic presence in atoma (lore wise I know it's a gameplay aspect)

winged jacinth
#

The grey knights only answer to Ordo Malleus

#

As a hereticus inquisitor its likely grendyl doesnt know they exist

#

Also there's only like 1000 of them for the whole galaxy if they follow codex standards

dire apex
#

dont think they follow codex standards but there is less than a thousand of them

arctic talon
#

they were just over 1000 when the great rift opened Ancestral_Trolling

#

but they're all over the fucking place rn

winged jacinth
#

Its honestly a failure of scale that gk are ever in the right place lol

#

With how long getting around takes especially

dusk patrol
#

We typically see the worst areas in 40k so that’s the main reason

#

Plus they can divine the future to some extent

winged jacinth
#

That's true i guess there's the emperors tarot

dusk patrol
#

That typically how the Custodes preventing stuff is explained too

winged jacinth
#

Same way the legion of the damned probably work

dusk patrol
#

They get visions in dreams and also use alpha level astropaths who receive messages from the future

#

And the Eyes of the Emperor network

#

Do space marines see normal human sized chainswords as chain daggers

crisp heath
#

Likely just short swords

#

Machetes maybe

vale fjord
#

Idk man

#

I've been thinking about whether or not the evisc weapon is the space marine sized chain sword for them

#

And comparing it to the chainsword the rejects have if a space marine wields it

#

I may be wrong tho

#

Still new to warhammer 40k stuff and I wanna learn more about it

winged jacinth
#

the line between dagger and sword was always kinda fuzzy, but the regular chainswords are fairly short as far as swords go even for baseline humans

#

marines are maybe 50% bigger?

vale fjord
#

Since a human has to hold it with 2 hands

#

A space marine could hold it with 1 as well as swinging it with 1 hand (until 2 hands are needed)

winged jacinth
#

i think the blades are probably similar with the rest being scaled for space marine hands

#

space marine chainswords are a variety of lengths depending on era, chapter, artist

#

era both in terms of lore era and publishing era

crisp heath
#

Seem to be pretty ubiquitous. They have chain axes and stuff for us, so small variants obviously exist in 40k. I would think the blade length doesn't matter so much as the grip length, and that would mean the eviscerater is the only one they'd view as a "space marine" chain anything. Though they'd likely think it's old or outdated or some other form of shabby

#

And size wise, I'd say the eviscerater is around the size of a short sword or machete to a space marine. Longer than your average dagger, shorter than your average long sword.

#

In comparison to the space marine, not us obviously

vale fjord
#

I see I see

#

If we take all that to account and going back to my question, then the answer is yes the chainsword is a chain dagger to a space marine

crisp heath
#

🤷‍♂️ pretty sure it's longer than a bowie to them, but sure

winged jacinth
#

the size is about right but they wouldnt be able to use the controls and the handle would be tiny

#

space marine hands are hueg

grave sparrow
#

ok, so I dunno if I've seen this take before.

But if Ferrus Manus somehow comes back, bringing the Iron hands back into the setting would be dope.

The mechanicus apparently really liked the IH so it'd be super fun to see astartes with some nutso cybernetic augmentations and insane terminator armor variants

vale fjord
vale fjord
#

There's like really long ones that shouldn't be considered a dagger

winged jacinth
#

the iron hands are one of the few chapters / legions i quite like

vale fjord
#

Idfk why it's considered a dagger but it is a dagger

winged jacinth
#

things considered daggers extend well into the territory of what also gets considered a shortsword

crisp heath
#

Literally stop there is a term called outlier for a reason.

winged jacinth
#

its not really a technical term, like basically everything else in weaponry

crisp heath
#

I'm literally going to math why your wrong

vale fjord
#

Fair enough

#

Lecture me

grave sparrow
#

I thought the Eviscerator was just a type of chainsword that used similar technology as power swords (someone said each tooth has a crude displacement field)

winged jacinth
#

the primary trait of eviscerators is that they're two handed, iirc depending on source all chain weapons use low grade power fields

#

to be frank they wouldnt be much use if they didnt

green loom
#

They just kill things

#

How does this happen?

vale fjord
#

Right I forgot they added in New morrow and Wolfer dialogues in assassination missions (I may be wrong cuz I haven't played the game months before the traitor curse part 1 upd)

green loom
#

Yeah they're new

#

A wolfer comment or two made it in with the class overhaul on the train assassination

#

But now he has proper dialogue there with Morrow

vale fjord
#

I need more morrow and wolfer interactions

winged jacinth
#

because i made all 4 of my characters back in the beta or shortly after launch, when i came back and heard those lines i had NO idea who wolfer was lmao

vale fjord
#

Especially wolfer coping and in denial about his traitor captain losing to 4 crackhead ex prisoners

crisp heath
#

If the average dagger is five to twelve inches, and the average short sword is 2 to 2.5 feet, and we convert those measurements to metric cause gw is European, 13 to 30 centimeters and 61 to 76 cm, and the average human is 1,80cm while an average space marine is 2,20cm, we can actually average what category it should fall into. The eviscerater is a huge two-handed weapon that can run almost two meters in length, with a long grip and weighted pommel to allow for some semblance of balance in use. So, with all that in mind, it well and truly is a great sword for us. It's three times the size of a short sword at 6 feet long. And a space marine is only 2 meters tall himself. Do you know of any daggers near your own length?

vale fjord
#

Interesting

winged jacinth
#

the original position was that regular chainswords were dagger scale for SM

crisp heath
#

Space marines can't use them at all

#

To small of a hilt

winged jacinth
#

which was followed with eviscerators being sword scale

#

yes i said that

#

the enemy vox stuff is all so good

#

im glad they decided to make it canon that you're actually as horrifyingly effective as in gameplay

vale fjord
#

Yea

#

Ogryns man!!

winged jacinth
#

i dont know if i've ever heard of an old ogryn

#

i wonder what that's about

#

probably its just that we only ever see active guard ogryns

vale fjord
#

An elder ogryn mmm

crisp heath
#

Think because they're abhumans, its a combination of poor treatment and sickness that they die before old age

#

Could be wrong though

grave sparrow
#

Oh wise Ogryn of the mountain, how do you find true happiness?

"breakfast rashuns, SAH!"

green loom
winged jacinth

Speaking of ogryns

#

Is there ever a topic abt who's the smartest ogryn?

winged jacinth
#

the smartest known ogryn is Cassia

vale fjord

Ooo

queen laurel
#

Psychic ogryn that has a diary and can read

winged jacinth
#

shes a sign of interesting things to come

vale fjord
#

That's pretty neat

winged jacinth

we had all that lore about people who think perpetuals are the next stage in human evolution when its really ogryns

vale fjord

And im guessing the only ever pysker ogryn ?

winged jacinth
#

who wants to live forever when you can be ogryn

winged jacinth
#

the only one we know of

vale fjord
#

Luv me emprah

crisp heath
#

Not the only ever. Necromunda has had some for awhile

winged jacinth
#

she's a consequence of the psychic awakening

#

those guys dont count

crisp heath
#

She's the first natural born awakened

winged jacinth
#

they werent smart i dont think

crisp heath
#

But there's likely more not documented

winged jacinth
#

the necromunda ogryn psykers were made surgically for reference

queen laurel
#

I say they are pretty damn smart

crisp heath
#

They're just drug made

winged jacinth
#

i thought the house that made them did, i havent had the chance to play necromunda

queen laurel
#

Being psychic seems to have the ability to increase intelligence

crisp heath
#

That's their only difference I think

queen laurel
#

That's why the imperium systematically keeps them dumb

crisp heath
#

Literally smart psycher ogryns are master race lol

queen laurel
winged jacinth
#

its all an english plot to convince us that this is the ideal physical appearance

Aren't ogryns also physically stronger than space marines

winged jacinth
#

yeah

crisp heath

Oh yeah

queen laurel
vale fjord

I heard about how horus is the only one to kill a modified ogryn

Which I find really really funny

queen laurel

crisp heath

Like suplex easily and walk away smiling r-word strength stronger

yeah you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Charonite's augmented hands

#

i wish i were in the mechanicus i would have so many cool projects to pitch

"we should give ogryn thunder hammers for hands"

crisp heath

Be careful

Too much innovation is heresy

winged jacinth

i would be the next cawl

primaris marines? how about primaris marines with thunder hammers for hands

crisp heath
#

Lol nobody is the next Cawl

Imagine being genetically modified and enhanced to become a space marine just to be beaten to death by a some child in a big body

crisp heath

The mechanicum already hates him

They'd kill anyone else that tried

winged jacinth

"we need to build titans that combine into a bigger titan... for... tactical flexibility?"

vale fjord
crisp heath

Cawl skirts around innovation by researching blueprints from the past, lol you are legit coming up with new ideas

winged jacinth
crisp heath
#

Unless you find some old power rangers DVD and a vcr or something to play it on lol

If you say so

And convince your brothers it's a message from the omnisiah

"guys i found an stc but i cant show it to you"

"it says to put thunder hammers on leman russes"

crisp heath

You seem pretty hooked on thunder hammers...

winged jacinth

i have chosen them as a bit

vale fjord

They are hard hitting

#

If you hit them hard enough while charged that is

dusk patrol

They were just dangerous

crisp heath
#

Lol I was just curious if you legit thought they were like, the best weapon or something lol. No worries

dusk patrol

They were the IAs answer to marines in close quarters fighting

i havent read any of the cawl stuff, he seems fun as lame as his role is conceptually

i know he talks to a virtual cawl for fun and profit

green loom

It's not virtual cawl

He has actual faux clones of himself

He also very actively seeks out and researches Xenos tech

And he had his mind wiped

So he could be even older

He's seen by a radical in the mechanicus but he's too old to give a fuck

#

Not to mention guilliman is the regent of the imperium

#

And gave cawl permission to innovate and invent

rocky gale
#

Yea, he also got permission from the Emperor to do basically whatever he wanted

dense salmon
#

Emperor had no qualms about technological innovations during the GC

Otherwise he'd be an even bigger hypocrite

He was even building up a group of sympathetic guys from the mech

Ushoran ?

Ye

He's bigger than I'd have though

green loom
celest dome
#

So that mean we have what, 2 or 3 Primogenitor back in AoS ?

dense salmon
#

Not that guilliman needed the protection lol

green loom
#

iirc the Administratum guy was in on it too

#

Cus the Minotaurs flipped to the loyalists at the end right?

queen laurel
dense salmon
#

As far as primarchs go?

#

Bottom 3 in a straight up fight

#

But he's still a primarch

#

Dude could bench press a tank

#

If guilliman punched me I'd turn into mist

queen laurel
# dense salmon But he's still a primarch

yeah compared to his brothers he is definitely on the weaker side when it comes to straight combat, but he still has the physique of a demi god so it doesn't really matter

dense salmon
#

Thankfully combat was never his talent

#

Bottom 3 in a duel would probably be lorgar, guilliman, and magnus in that order

#

Lorgar being the bottom

queen laurel
dense salmon
#

Yeah magnus sweeps most primarchs pre heresy

#

But in a duel he loses to most of them

#

He's physically very weak comparatively

#

But he could crush them like soda cans

rocky gale
#

Lorgar's a bottom you say?

dense salmon
spare osprey
dense salmon
#

Hes purely an ego lifter

#

Those muscles are fake as hell

#

Still one or my favorite primarchs though

spare osprey
#

I really need to read up on the other primarchs

#

I just like leman and lions dynamic

#

Always felt the most realistic as brothers

dense salmon
#

Leman was also pretty chummy with malcador

#

Top 3 would probably be Kurze, lion, khan

#

Fulgrim and ferrus manus are honorable mentions there

rocky gale
#

You're leaving out Sanguinius?

dense salmon
#

He's also up there

#

As an honorable mention

#

But I'm talking in terms of pure duelist ability

#

It's a lot easier to say who the worst are than it is to say who the best are

spare osprey
#

True

rocky gale
#

Just seems a bit odd to not include Sanguinius in the top 3, like he's acknowledged by one of his brothers in one of the books to be the best fighter of the Primarchs, plus he can see the future and fly.

dense salmon
#

Magnus can crush almost all of the primarchs in an instant

#

Or atomize them

#

Sanguinius is a candidate for top 3 for sure but the hax abilities are hard to factor

#

Kurze is probably where there's wiggle room

#

He loses a lot of fights but is consistently described as an absolute nightmare to fight in a duel

storm jungle
#

Yeah Sanguinius is also like overrated af

#

he has also literal in-universe plot armor

#

mfer knows he is going to die to Horus so keeps throwing himself at every danger knowing he wont die

rocky gale
#

He's my perfect little angel

storm jungle
#

Yeah uh not so much anymore

#

mfer got his ass beat

dense salmon
#

He got mogged

storm jungle
#

Also had his face smashed off

#

also spine twisted

dense salmon
#

It was honestly very sad to read

#

It was brutal man

storm jungle
#

I found it entertaining

dense salmon
#

He went out with no music

#

Career-ending wwe exhibition

storm jungle
#

he thought he could solo Horus, no dice

dense salmon
#

He could solo horus without the chaos creatine

#

But then again

#

So could a lot of primarchs

storm jungle
#

Horus was not even trying.

#

thats another thing

green loom
#

Kill primarchs! WOOOO! Crush their spines!!!!

rocky gale
storm jungle
#

Hate primarchs.

#

Snap all their spines.

dense salmon
#

Sanguinius was the definition of bent out of shape

green loom
#

I don't like the fandom wanking off exclusively the glorious ubermensch murderers

dense salmon
#

You gotta blame the authors

#

It appeals to like

#

Shonen and action comic enjoyers

#

Who just like to imagine strong fighters with everything else being secondary

shadow plover
#

I don't care how strong the primarchs are, I care about their personalities

dense salmon
#

Pretty much all of them have the vernacular of a 15 year old who just finished their required reading

shadow plover
#

Yes chadgryn

spare osprey
#

I’m happy they’re doin more with lion

#

I have a question regarding the lore of 40k

#

Trazyn the infinite has the greatest collection of artifacts in 40k yes ?

#

Given that you somehow manage to track both him and his planet down

#

would he give you a tour if you asked ?

rocky gale
#

If you managed to find it and gain access he would probably keep you as a trophy

dense salmon
#

Maybe? You'd probably be a part of it

#

He gave Fabius a tour

urban spire
#

if i had to fight a primarch i would simply vomit acid and bile on them until they melted into goo

storm jungle
#

But if you are this person with lots of resources/determination to find him for a tour he might actually put these into perspective and make sure you dont die during the trip lol

urban spire
#

if you manage to track both him and his planet down there's a decent chance you don't actually have basic human needs

dense salmon
#

You also have to consider why trazyn would be interested in you enough to do that for you

storm jungle
#

^

#

Its the same as reaching out to a scientist IRL

"What do you want."

green loom
shadow plover
#

Trazyn has given tours to people, the people were very scared though

green loom
#

Like Bile gave him a Fulgrim

fervent folio
#

Thats a funny way of putting it

#

"Here, have a primarch"

dense salmon
#

Yeah if you have something trazyn wants it's no biggie

green loom
#

Basically how it reads tbh

storm jungle
#

Bile can just make em on a whim so it was not the biggest lost

dense salmon
#

Or if you are the something he wants

storm jungle
#

so Cawl instead sold out Creed who was about to die lol

fervent folio
#

That is another intriguing thing. How much "sentience" do you keep while in one of trazyns stasis fields ?

storm jungle
#

Uhhh depends on how generous he is

#

sometimes its literally like cryo-sleep, you got no idea whats going on

fervent folio
#

Like, do you KNOW ur trapped forever ?

storm jungle
#

other times you are fully aware

fervent folio
#

oof

storm jungle
#

Yeah now put this into perspective in setpieces he makes of battlefields and such

#

literally almost every person there is probably concious

green loom
#

But he can keep you aware

#

Like his pet tech priest isn't kept aware

#

Nor a lot of his dioramas like the Sisters fighting Tyranids

rocky gale
dense salmon
#

In the artefacts episode of hammer and bolter, he had those dark eldar and black legion goons in a time loop

storm jungle
#

thats actually an interesting thing to think about

#

what if hes like one of those miniature dudes who is like making a display where you are getting cut in half

storm jungle
fervent folio
green loom
#

He had two sisters caught up in a set piece

fervent folio
#

I just bought the infinite and the devine on audible

#

gonna be interesting to listen to

green loom
#

One was a bride of the emperor from Vandire's time

#

Being posed as the other's sister

#

Who died in said setpiece

#

And her bits were used to restore/revive her sister

green loom
#

Same author as Infinite

#

It should cover your interests

fervent folio
dense salmon
#

Trazyn's actually a decent guy as far as 40k goes

#

I wont really call him nice or anything, but he's not into needless wonton destruction

storm jungle
#

He's also a bit of a product of his environment

dense salmon
#

He will absolutely demolish an entire system if it has cool shit he wants though

#

If you can look past that he's reasonable

#

Imagine a guy who will punch you in the face for one of those foil charizard cards but on a galactic scale

fervent folio
#

Yep

#

or doom thousands uppon thousands of eldari souls to consumption by slaanesh

#

Guy basically yoinked the only thing keeping a worldsoul alive from the eldari

#

(this audiobook is interesting)

#

Okay, another question. How come Horus wasnt described as horribly mutated ?

#

Like, usualy when one of the warp gods has an eye or their full gaze on you, you turn into something befitting that

#

right ?

#

I imagine their "Champion" being horus would turn into some kind of demonic abomination

wet sandal
#

I mean, not immediately

green loom
#

He had time

#

But he was undivided

#

He's kinda like abaddon

#

But more a flesh puppet than someone trying to balance the four

dense salmon
#

He did mutate, just not in an obvious and grotesque way

rocky gale
#

Mutation is also a coinflip sometimes

#

Like you can get skin as hard as iron or your neck now has a kneecap

dense salmon
#

The reason horus didn't become a daemon is because daemons are warp entities and a fragment of their patron God

#

They can only exist in realspace for a limited period of time

#

It would have been a nerf to horus in the context of a protracted war and siege

crisp heath
dense salmon
#

A chaos undivided daemon would be a fragment of each chaos god, meaning no one God has a claim to them

#

For obvious reasons this could lead to problems for chaos

green loom
#

Did you read Genefather KEKW_ogryn

#

His excuse is "Well they knew a lot so everything I discover was already discovered right?"

dense salmon
#

Lastly, horus became a living puppet for chaos

#

He was hardly himself

#

And he was slowly dying

#

More of a zombie of horus than the man himself

crisp heath
#

@green loom but still, he has gotten in trouble for his bs before. And his excuse is always some loop hole in the innovation bullshit. He doesn't actually invent anything new

green loom
#

Yes he does

#

He does it constantly KEKW_ogryn

#

He gets away with it because half the admech likes him and he makes up excuses

crisp heath
#

No, he doesn't. Literally no. He uses old blueprints to remake old shit

#

The primaris are brand new, he had to invent entirely new organs

green loom
#

And because he's ten thousand years old and a war hero

crisp heath
#

He even named one after himself

green loom
crisp heath
#

And the primaris stuff is literally stated as having been Old Age advancements the emperor didn't implement.

#

He didn't make them

green loom
#

No?

crisp heath
#

Yes

green loom
#

Cawl made them from progress the Selenar made

#

But never implemented

crisp heath
#

Ok, well Cawl didn't invent it is my point

green loom
#

They're not from the old age, they're Selenar research that was saved

#

But beyond that, Cawl still had to experiment forever to actually make Primaris

#

And he made all their gear

#

There's no STC for marine gear KEKW_ogryn

rocky gale
#

Is the "Cawl doesn't invent stuff" argument still happening?

crisp heath
#

Expirementing isn't innovation or invention

green loom
crisp heath
#

Still happening...?

#

Bro I went to sleep and just responded to what he said

#

Fuck off

rocky gale
#

It was a thing hours ago and now it's a thing again

crisp heath
#

Again, I fell the fuck asleep

rocky gale
#

You were wrong then and continue to be wrong

crisp heath
#

Fuck off

rocky gale
#

No need to be rude

crisp heath
#

Show one instance where he actually invents something

#

Coming from the mother fucker who hopped in here on some rude shit, I'll pass

green loom
#

Ok let me look up "Primaris" on the GW store KEKW_ogryn

crisp heath
#

Cawl Inferior is probably a unique creation because it's a true AI but it does implement servitors and cogitators

#

Literally just said the advancements were from something else

green loom
#

No

#

He made all of it

rocky gale
#

Look at that, it took 5 seconds to find something he invented

crisp heath
#

Lol so he can make new versions of old things

green loom
rocky gale
#

The Assault Bolter didn't exist beforehand

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

But bolters did

storm jungle
#

He is a known heretek

green loom
#

Yeah it's a self admitted lie as of genefather

storm jungle
#

he just has too much popularity points to be cancelled

green loom
#

He's LITERALLY on trial for it

storm jungle
#

^

crisp heath
#

But again, he doesn't innovate or invent. All of his "creations" are based on preexisting shit. Or blueprints from the dark age

storm jungle
#

He invents.

#

Its literally why hes a heretek

green loom
#

Do you know what Innovate means

rocky gale
#

At this point I genuinely don't know if he's trolling

crisp heath
#

I love "Guilliman you should appoint me Archmagos of Mars"
"That seems like a bad idea"
"Ok go ask the machine that's literally a copy of my brain, he also thinks it's a good idea"

#

Show one thing he literally invents. That's not based off something preexisting

storm jungle
#

The guilliman AI

crisp heath
#

Any of his AI tech

green loom
#

Qvo

storm jungle
#

OH GOD

#

POOR QVO

#

💀

green loom
#

Cawl inferior

crisp heath
#

Based off guilliman and ais, not exactly an invention

storm jungle
#

...

#

what

green loom
#

This is semantics and incorrect semantics at that

rocky gale
#

I show that he invents a new type of Bolter and the response is "But Bolters already exist"

Say for example you invent a new type of car that is fundamentally different to an old car, you've invented a new type of car.

crisp heath
#

Literally just an ai. There are plenty in 40k, the mechanicus just hates them

green loom
storm jungle
#

No this is literal artificial intelligence

crisp heath
#

You didn't invent the car

storm jungle
#

that is fully sentient

crisp heath
#

You made a new model

storm jungle
#

yeah shocking

green loom
#

You invented your own car

storm jungle
#

no idea is original

green loom
#

A Car is a semantic field

storm jungle
#

you can still invent something new

green loom
#

A Golf isn't the same as a Yugo

#

But they're both cars

crisp heath
#

And neither could have existed before Ford literally invented mechanical vehicles

rocky gale
#

You see the Benz Patent Motor Car is actually exact same as a Tesla tinfoilsister

crisp heath
#

Cawl is also currently working on a brand new anti-chaos superweapon based on blackstone

#

It's in the works but it's a new invention

storm jungle
#

Also in Genefather he literally tries to use any word/argument to prove that he doesn't invent, he "innovates" so that the Inquisition alligned techpriest in the audience doesn't arrest him.

crisp heath
#

Sure... Ford streamlined the factory process

#

Mb

#

But still

green loom
#

Dilara do you have some Emperor's Children art for me

storm jungle
#

which one

crisp heath
#

Cawl himself is a walking tech heresy

storm jungle
#

💀

crisp heath
#

He uses loopholes and shit in their laws

storm jungle
#

YEAH

#

BECAUSE HE INVENTS

crisp heath
#

He has heretical implants including stolen pieces of brains

storm jungle
#

This is like saying no the M1 Garand wasn't invented, it was the Chinese that made the first firearm so it doesn't count.

dense salmon
#

Things heating up in the lore chat

storm jungle
#

Which makes about as much sense lol

#

inventing is inventing, making is making

#

theres no "middle-ground"

green loom
storm jungle
#

Is any chaos stuff fine

green loom
#

How about broadly slaaneshi stuff

storm jungle
#

alrighty

crisp heath
#

Lol there is. Technically, the M1 garrand wasn't the invention of guns. China did invent them. Invention involves creating something entirely new, for example the first light bulbs or the telephone. Innovation, on the other hand, is the process of improving the existing creations or finding new applications for them. So there is a middle ground. Cawl, as far as im aware, has never made anything that was entirely new and original. All of his creations reimagine or in some way alter existing structures, which inherently isn't invention, it's innovation. He's not lying by saying that. He's just extremely anal in his words

plush mason
green loom
#

He isn't

#

iirc he explains that he tries doing them on his own before using the STC

#

And learning/improving on said STC KEKW_ogryn

#

So

#

In other words

#

Textbook tech heresy KEKW_ogryn

rocky gale
#

Did you know that if you google the definition of Invent the example phrase they use the word in is "He invented an improved form of the steam engine"

green loom
#

Ok ghost

rocky gale
#

Now I'm no expert but I imagine that implies Steam Engines were invented prior to this improved form

green loom
#

I'm gonna have to ask you to like
Maybe stop with the pointless baiting lol

rocky gale
#

I'm sorry I keep biting at this point

green loom
#

Ty 3_

dense salmon
#

I think the argument is moot, cawl has permission from guilliman to do what he wants and the narrative is now centered around improvements and radical change in the imperium

#

Our term for invention doesn't necessarily conform to that

#

He's doing things that are new and unprecedented in the last 10k years

rocky gale
#

God the kakophoni with the gaping mouth is horrifying

green loom
# storm jungle

I think I like EC a bit cleaner than other chaos marines loregryn
Like AoS Hedonites

crisp heath
#

@green loom don't worry I blocked his punk ass. And honestly Venuz is correct

forest orbit
#

hes literally inventing

#

its entirely why hes in trouble

#

why is this so hard to understand

green loom
#

I don't know why people think "sponsored by guilliman" means as much as it does

dense salmon
#

Im not disagreeing that he is inventing

#

I'm just saying the direction that warhammer is going is innovation

#

In my opinion, it's pointless to argue

#

Cawl will continue whipping up new shit

green loom
#

I mean it is, because Cawl literally admits to it and is on an actual trial for it which he's trying to bullshit his way through KEKW_ogryn

forest orbit
#

Innovation and Inventing might be different but hes doing both lol

crisp heath
#

I just think cawl would make an excellent lawyer

forest orbit
#

I dont really think creating a fucking AI chatbot of Guilliman is "not inventing"

crisp heath
#

Cause he's technically not lying

dense salmon
#

Okay I see the meat of this issue now

green loom
#

It's like defending a robber in court who explains to you in detail how he broke into the place
But is saying he technically was let in because he threatened some dude's life

forest orbit
#

^

#

and

#

the fact that this has actually happened

crisp heath
#

I mean, it's not b&e then

#

Lol

forest orbit
#

"This home owner tried to attack me when i was breaking into his house"

#

and the owner actually got sued

#

💀

#

what the fuck

crisp heath
#

Lol I mean...

#

The law is written a certain way lol

#

Loopholes are fucked that way

dense salmon
#

The ai thing is explicitly tech heresy

#

But as for if he invents stuff or not

#

He emphatically does

crisp heath
#

Oh yeah. I mean of course

rocky gale
crisp heath
#

But not because he made it per se, just because of what it is.

#

@rocky gale yes, you are said punk bitch.

#

Fuck off

rocky gale
#

Oh okay, she/her by the way

dense salmon
#

But my argument about it being a moot point isn't necessarily that he is or isn't inventing stuff

crisp heath
#

Don't give a fuck what you got between your legs

dense salmon
#

Whether or not i believe he is doesnt change his narrative purpose

#

He is a force of change in the setting

#

That change is divisive

crisp heath
#

Oh I agree 100%

rocky gale
#

What did I do?

dense salmon
#

I think it's in everyone's best interest if we remain respectful in these discussions

rocky gale
#

I just joined an argument everyone else was having and wasn't being rude or anything

dense salmon
#

The part that makes what cawl is doing technoheresy is that he is extrapolating on ideas and principles beyond what the machine god left in the galaxy

#

But I would argue because he is deriving his tech from existing one (this doesn't mean he isn't inventing it) that it isn't technoheresy

crisp heath
#

You tried to come in here and complain about a discussion going on because you saw something about it a few hours ago, trying to get shit to stop and being rude, then turned around and told me to stop being rude when I told you to fuck off. People from all over the world are in this server and some of us sleep. I responded to where I was @'d when I woke the fuck up. Fuck you and fuck this pussy ass I wasn't doing anything bullshit. It was a cool discussion that nobody had to agree with me on, all the way up till you fucking joined. That's why you are a punk bitch

rocky gale
#

I literally wasn't being rude, I was just asking a question?

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

Sure.

storm jungle
#

If you two got more shit to do take it to the DMs

rocky gale
#

I'm sorry if I'm being rude again, but I genuinly don't know what I did wrong

queen laurel

Oh for runts sake

Cawl is a pretty cool character

There's a good chance cawl was present for the age of strife

The last thing to be invented was the rolomite bearing in the 70s. Before that, it was the wheel

Weird question: is it possible for a Khorne Berzerker to exist and yet has never managed to kill a fellow space marine? Imperial or otherwise

urban spire
#

yeah i reckon most space marines of any stripe have never killed another space marine

outer wave
#

Really? I'd have thought it was a more rare phenomenon

urban spire
#

well space marines are pretty rare

#

and it's a big galaxy

crisp heath
#

I would like to say... I'm an idiot... my reaction to @rocky gale was wrong... and I apologize for it.

winged jacinth
#

Sm vs csm combat is hugely overrepresented in the novels because that's what people want to see

outer wave
#

Ahhh fair fair

#

I remember thinking a year or so ago that the concept of a berzerker who utterly fails at killing a space marine due to bad luck would've been funny

winged jacinth
#

I wonder how many heresy era csm are still around

outer wave
#

Probably a few hundred thousand

urban spire
#

more than you'd think, but mostly because they have spent a lot of time in the eye where time doesn't pass the same

#

so they won't have experienced the full 11k years subjective time

crisp heath
urban spire
#

i'mma leave em on read

winged jacinth
#

The heresy era marines killed loads of marines for sure but they're gone now mostly

crisp heath
#

Isn't one of them at least thought to have been taken out by the legions pre herecy

winged jacinth
#

Probably i think?

green loom
#

We dunno

urban spire
#

afaik there's no canon hard facts about them

arctic talon
#

Well

#

there's some

winged jacinth
#

There's oblique references

arctic talon
#

one of them was discovered around the time Alpharius was

#

the other was pretty early on

crisp heath
#

Because horus is force choked by malcador for bringing them up, and what elite said

urban spire
#

#

the horse heresy

crisp heath
#

Lol

dense salmon
#

When it comes to the forgotten legions

#

They were blended into the other ones sans primarch

#

There's lots of snippets about them but not a lot thats hard and concrete

winged jacinth
#

There's a subject XI in the custodes cells, perhaps a primarch waiting for a poor quarterly earnings projection

#

Though it feels like they have enough shakeups going rn to save that potential

crisp heath
#

A custodes primarch?

#

That'd be something cool

winged jacinth
#

No the XI primarch

#

But maybe a connection

crisp heath
#

Idk what that is honestly

dense salmon
winged jacinth
#

The 11th legion

#

One of the missing ones

crisp heath
#

Oh Roman numerals...

#

I'm dumb

winged jacinth
#

Lol

crisp heath
#

🤣

winged jacinth
#

Those legions have always felt like games workshop's "pull in case of emergency" handles

dense salmon
#

Its also room for homebrew stuff

arctic talon
#

They're also just a funny Roman Legion refrence

winged jacinth
#

It's not really different from having an unknown primarch but i suppose

crisp heath
#

So like, on the topic of Alpharius and his brother. Like, can someone explain them and their whole deal?

winged jacinth
#

I don't think they'd have successor chapters considering they were missing well before the heresy but stranger things have happened

crisp heath
#

Cause I'm still kinda confused and I've watched like, 18 YouTube vids lol

winged jacinth
#

Oh boy the alpha legion

arctic talon
#

Alpharius was in command of the Legion

#

Omegon basicially was Alpharius's shadow/carried out his commands

#

Also no one really knew Omegon existed

#

during the heresy/Great crusade

#

other then Malcador and Big E

#

Some of the primarchs had suspicion that there were 2 of them, Lorgar, Leman, Magnus

#

are the 3 I can remember off the top of my head

crisp heath
#

Huh.... and why are they so... idk? Special?

arctic talon
#

well, they aren't really?

winged jacinth
crisp heath
#

Like, why do I hear them come up alot I guess

arctic talon
#

They're small on the primarch size

#

but their like primarch ability

#

made people think they were even smaller

crisp heath
#

Feels like everyone expects them to do something

arctic talon
#

They're mysterious

#

Alpharius's book literally ends with "I am Alpharius and this is a lie"

winged jacinth
#

They were like maybe double triple quadruple agents during the heresy

arctic talon
#

Omegon is alive still but he didn't have command over the Legion

winged jacinth
#

They're definitely full chaos now

brisk vine
#

Fun fact

arctic talon
#

Omegon is still a ???? situation

#

he might be the only living Traitor primarch to have not ascended

brisk vine
#

Alpharius has been the #1 most popular name in the Imperium of Man for 10,000 years running!

crisp heath
dense salmon
#

Alpharius and Omegon specialized in subterfuge and information warfars

arctic talon
#

the average alpha legionary is uh

very very tainted now lol

#

Alpharius was an avid student of malcador

dense salmon
#

So it's hard to pin him down and his exact nature and intention

crisp heath
#

I thought they were supposedly like double agents or something...

#

I didn't know they were chaos

dense salmon
crisp heath
#

I thought they helped the Imperium

dense salmon
#

Chaos isn't one consistent and unified force

#

Theyre a series of divided warbands

winged jacinth
#

Back in the heresy, sometimes, but not really since

dense salmon
#

So some alpha legion members are like

#

Renegade

#

Not exactly loyalist but not chaos

crisp heath
#

But wouldn't that just make them the black whatever the fucks

dense salmon
#

Black legion?

crisp heath
#

Sure, idk. The legion of dudes still loyal from the traitor legions

arctic talon
#

Blackshields

#

but they're generally anti imperium

#

black shields in 40k are pro imperium

#

despite their uh parents

crisp heath
#

Gotcha gotcha

arctic talon
#

but the Alpha Legion had one of the highest Blackshield rates during the heresy

#

what happened to them after shrugpriest

#

The legion fucking imploded when Alpharius died

crisp heath
#

Ok ok... did he die?

#

Like for sure?

arctic talon
#

yes

#

we know Alpharius died for sure for sure

#

Omegon even comments on it

#

about how he feels like half his soul is missing

crisp heath
#

Huh... damn...

dense salmon
#

The night lords are in kind of the same category

#

But obviously they are the night lords

#

So

#

Brutalizing random people is still their bread and butter

#

Not at all loyalist but they're not chaos either

arctic talon
#

The biggest group of night lords drank the kool aid

#

Super hard

#

They’re led by a daemon prince rn

dense salmon
#

That's true

arctic talon
#

Also the biggest like

#

Raptor cult conversion

crisp heath
#

So my next question, is one of the loyalist primarchs a giant crow demon now?

arctic talon
#

But that sort of feels inevitable lol

arctic talon
winged jacinth
#

Lmao i hadnt heard that

#

Why lol

crisp heath
#

He can go back and forth? Wasn't sure if it was corvax or curze

arctic talon
#

As far as we can tell it’s temporary
