as much as I dislike the clean toy models style

arctic talon
#

It does go hard

dense salmon
#

yeah 40k art does go hard as fuck

dusk patrol
#

Although tbh hurricane bolters are used to shred titan shields in titan combat

#

So hey

#

Maybe it is a good idea

dire apex
#

No he’s defnitely making sure they don’t miss the little knights at the foot of all of those daemon titans

arctic talon
#

That warhound in the front looks like it’s got lashes lol

dense salmon
#

being that close to a titan would seriously put my nuts in my stomach man

arctic talon
dense salmon
#

art like that really helps you appreciate how fucking big the titans are

dusk patrol
#

It’s probably mostly demonic by now so yeah those are just eyes probably

storm jungle
#

Also the artist that does these cover arts just uh

#

has a VERY clean/sleek style hence my toy comment

#

so dont expect a lot of gross decorations/demonic shit

dusk patrol
#

And on the other end of the spectrum….

#

Oi likes em dirty

#

Lewis Jones use of lighting in his pieces is actually insane though

arctic talon
#

It is

dusk patrol
#

It’s not even natural it’s just

#

Otherworldly

dire apex
#

“Hey, wanna see how hard I can piss shit out guardsmen?”

dusk patrol
#

Almost makes you feel bad for the orks

dire apex
#

Yeah they’re just getting tidal waved

#

That one is just drowning in guardsmen

storm jungle
#

Theres a reason he got promoted to the head of the GW miniature design team.

#

showing humans as these ugly as fuck horde of monsters is what 40k is all about

arctic talon
#

I love the imperium

soft thunder
#

peak imperium

dusk patrol
#

It’s a rare example of the guard looking scary

dire apex
#

Did jones also do a bunch of the Macharius art?

#

Similar feel to a lot of it

#

Could very well just be continuing what he started with a different artist

#

Ah this one is by Raymond Swanland

dusk patrol
#

That was before him

#

Yeah

#

He’s fairly recent

#

They changed track with the art a lot after 8e I think and moved away from making a lot of it like

#

Generic looking

#

More towards the weirder grungier stuff like Jones

storm jungle
#

Yeah Lewis Jones is more uhhh

#

"horror"

#

If you want to know an art done by him look for spikes

dire apex
#

Spikes indeed

storm jungle
#

yeah notice the skitarii art

#

for the most part they are pretty normal

#

then you got the servo-skull

#

he was definitely holding back on this one lmao

dire apex
#

If he could find a way to make spiky bath robes for the Skitarii he would do it

vale fjord
#

aside from all the chaos bad things, what do you all think the chaos gods represent if they were good

#

or the good representation i shoul dsay

#

should say

ornate rapids
#

IM READY TO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

vale fjord
#

WAAAAAAGH!!!!

grave sparrow
#

TIL Ghazgkull headbutted a warp portal closed, and proceeded to shit talk the chaos gods

#

I think that voice at the end of the part 2 teaser was female so most likely I'd say yes

dusk patrol

When the ass is phat

echo vault
#

I know that mobile game horus heresy legions has a ton of art stylized like the huge forge world Black books they did and it has art of imperator titans im shocked nobody has tried to dig the art out

median marsh
# echo vault

Me trying to comprehend just how exactly did managers fuck up

echo vault
#

Yeah I see a bit of both, it's like so much stuff I just want it just so we don't lose a sizable art database in such an unsuspecting app that probably has predatory mobile in app purchases

dusk patrol
#

There’s a google doc with all the art

#

If you go to the discord and ask someone will send it to you

echo vault
#

That's nice thank you

I just noticed in the darktide vox communications that as the story progress, the radio chatter isnt of forces responding to the outbreak as they are made to believe, as they slowly reveal to be moebian 6th comms and instead of plague targets, they're probably attacking enforcer stations and moebian 21st garrisons

#

Its neat

#

on youtube

median marsh
#

vox broadcasts that started before release

soft thunder
#

ooohhhh, yup

#

I hope they do another series to add more fluff in year 2 of the game

median marsh
#

well we have Vox intercepts going at the moment

#

most recent one being about Zolas shenanigans

tulip sand
#

What zola doin

earnest snow
#

Who cooked up this planet name I can't even

green loom
earnest snow
#

Not Birmingham

green loom
#

Or

#

40k has very original planet names

queen laurel
green loom
#

Also wth rare Zealot chat crossover

crisp heath
#

Carlos McConnell is the best planet name

#

Also the homeworld of felinids

queen laurel
#

a planet called Carlos McConnel

#

yep that is definitely on top for what the hell

rose void
#

Weebs got to have catgirls in there somewhere

crisp heath
#

There was an old meme that Carlos McConnell was an especially narcissistic rogue trader who converted an entire planet into his cat girl waifus

#

But in actuality the planet is named after a young fan who really liked Thundercats. Someone at GW talked to him and ended up putting Thundercats on a planet named after him, which is a much cuter backstory

spring cairn
#

50/50 you either get the worst life humanly possible or it's just really average stuff

storm jungle
#

It's really not

#

even "peaceful" Imperial worlds get shit deals

#

no planet in Imperial space is good to live in

dusk patrol
#

It probably tastes great

celest dome
#

Warhammer is one of the few setting where i'd rather be in the fantasy one than in the sci fi one

forest orbit
#

Yeah when people say they are good places to live in the Imperium they are kinda missing the point

warm notch
#

It’s “good” only because it’s relative to a place as shitty as the torrent (or worse)

#

But, y’know, Imperium of man really does care about its citizens it just needs to make the necessary sacrifices for humanity to survive 🥺 👉 👈

Are there catboys in fantasy?

Insert Witcher 3 ‘Then fuck off’ meme

spring cairn

Only because the bar is so low

dusk patrol

Just not a peasant

spring cairn
#

If i had to be in the 40k universe i'd rather take my chances at the imperial casino than be a filthy non-human tbh

#

bug ofc i'd rather not be in the 40k universe at all KEKW_ogryn

dusk patrol
#

Grail Knight mfer

#

But yeah Empire is much better chances for humans

celest dome
dusk patrol
#

I believe the term is “filthy degenerates whose parents lacked the will to end them like they should”

celest dome
#

I love that Bret Emigrant to the Empire often are placed on the border of Sylvania and they are fine with it cause it's still better

spring cairn
#

not enough baby killing, that's why we have all those gors in the reikwald

#

damn cowards

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Tbf with xenos you don’t have much better options

#

You’re gonna be an Ork

#

And you’re gonna die at like age 2 weeks old cause some other Ork didn’t like the way you walked by him

spring cairn
#

or just wanted ur teeth

dusk patrol
#

Or because he was bored

#

Or hungry

#

40k sucks

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

I’d rather be born on Catachan than melt hive worlds

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Also it has been confirmed that they can reincarnate

dusk patrol
#

And they do complain

storm jungle
#

Yeah but for the most part they are happy

#

they only complain when they dont get what they want

dusk patrol
#

They want to be Warboss and be better

#

And most don’t

storm jungle
#

Nah some are content

#

orks are prideful monsters but most dont give a shit

#

they just wanna wage war and kill

queen laurel
green loom
#

They get rowdy when there's no fight

storm jungle
#

^

#

Most Orks really do not aspire to be much

queen laurel
#

even when they're bored they have a lot of contests

#

Food eating

#

Brawls

dusk patrol
#

There’s plenty of cases we see of Orks not being content, there’s a constant want to be warboss and be in charge but they can’t

queen laurel
#

the good life for them

dusk patrol
#

It’s an endless struggle for ascendency which most can’t do

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

No he’s just the ones who succeed

queen laurel
#

a good chunk is happy as long as they get to fight

dusk patrol
#

They all wanna be Ghaz

spring cairn
#

everybody says "i'd be fine being an ork" until they get to be a grot

storm jungle
#

being a grot is just IRL

dusk patrol
#

Grots also just straight up have shitty lives

dusk patrol
#

With very very few exceptions

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

again most orks are content

#

not every ork wants to be a warboss

queen laurel
#

Yeah

storm jungle
#

some literally fight because theres a fight going on lol

queen laurel
#

Some are happy just to be a big boss

storm jungle
#

they arent exactly napoleon

queen laurel
#

As long as they do what they are made to do which is fighting they are as content as pig in mud

#

There are very little amount of orks that want more than fighting

dusk patrol
#

Literally ever pov I can recall of Orks it’s them thinking “some day I’m gonna be boss” when they are told to do something or whatever

queen laurel
#

And even then those wants are rather quite easy to do

dusk patrol
#

If they’re not already boss

storm jungle
#

Orks dont aspire to be on the bigger foodchain unless theres clear power-vacuuming or shifts going on.

#

most literally just do not care

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

They still do though, even if it’s just on the micro scale, they’re always being bullied by someone above them, and always bullying the ones below

storm jungle
#

thats literally every living creature

queen laurel
#

orks may not be smart but they can understand their placement and when there is an opportunity to move

storm jungle
#

including us lol

dusk patrol
#

It’s not, and Orks are way more extreme I mean come on

warm notch
#

The more I hear about Orks the more I imagine them acting like fratboys

storm jungle
#

they basically are

warm notch
#

Super roided up dumbass fratboys

#

Lmao

queen laurel
#

like I shoota boy will be content having a shoota but he won't pass up getting a big shoota

dusk patrol
#

As a race Orks always desire for more, more scrap, better guns, more teef, more control.

#

It’s hardwired into them

spring cairn
#

more violence and more killing

#

don't forget that orks are blood thirsty beasts

dusk patrol
#

That’s part of what makes Ghaz special is he’s actually capable of thinking in terms of denying himself fights

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

He doesn’t just go around and fight whoever and withdraws

queen laurel
#

the other races want more too

dusk patrol
#

The Orks literally on a genetic level are never content with their current lot, there’s always a desire to get higher on the chain

spring cairn
warm notch
#

That sounds awful

dusk patrol
#

Because they’re biological weapons

warm notch
#

What even happens if they become the defacto leader

#

Do they just explode

dusk patrol
#

It’s their purpose is to keep propagating and keep getting more dangerous

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Some humans are like this too to be clear

#

But it’s not a hardwired thing

queen laurel
#

They also reincarnate

#

so you can get another shot in life if your other one didn't go so well

warm notch
#

That’s wild

spring cairn
#

they're happy but they're barely sentient tbh

storm jungle
#

they are pretty sentient

queen laurel
#

orks are basically made for this setting which is why living as them is often the best way you can go

#

And yes they are sentient

storm jungle
#

they are just single-minded

spring cairn
#

bio-machines with no depth

dusk patrol
#

I think people vastly overplay how happy Orks are. A ton of books featuring PoVs of them do not have it that simple.

storm jungle
#

Idk the books they got show a lot of depth

green loom
queen laurel
storm jungle
#

If this was the case orks would also basically get nothing done, they are a lot like chimpanzees if you want to consider the dynamic of a warboss, its not something every ork wants when they can just be a small fry and kill people in their own accord.

dusk patrol
#

Like we also see Imperial workers who are happy or content with their shitty lives

storm jungle
#

Yeah because they are brainwashed lol

dusk patrol
#

Ok and? Like that’s my point

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

💀

queen laurel
#

That is literally their basics

#

An ork has a lot more freedom than that

#

if he wants he can be a stormboy

#

If he's good enough he can be a spanner

storm jungle
#

Basically what im trying to get at yeah lol

#

some orks just do not give a shit

#

why is this so hard to get

dusk patrol
#

That’s a big if is the thing

spring cairn
#

he's genetically coded to do war, idk how that's being free

queen laurel
celest dome
dusk patrol
#

Yes

queen laurel
#

They just do what they are good at doing which makes them survive it's that simple

dusk patrol
#

That’s my point

storm jungle
#

^

queen laurel
#

and they are happy at what they are doing

#

Compared to the other factions they are the happiest at what they do

outer wave
# queen laurel An ork has a lot more freedom than that

Only thing Id rebuttal against that is the genetic code bit meaning that only certain boyz become certain subtypes of boyz (Burnas, Mekks, Dokks, etc). An average boy will not want nor has the skills to do most of those tasks

storm jungle
#

Orks only want to be a warboss and its usually only the oppoturnistic ork/orks that will want that, most are just content with throwing their lot in with whatever is happening and stick to the lower foodchain

dusk patrol
#

I disagree based off the books I’ve read and the povs we’ve gotten of them but whatever

#

Anyways

queen laurel
warm notch
#

I wonder how lovely a vacation to Catachan is

median marsh
#

would you like a catachan coconut?

queen laurel
#

it would be good

warm notch
median marsh
#

looks like a skull and explodes into myriad tiny needles

warm notch
#

I love how the Professional Vet just talks about the Catachan Coconut out of nowhere

#

Like literally nothing prompted them to talk about it

dusk patrol
#

Sure there’s a 75% chance you die

#

But if you don’t

median marsh
#

"We've run into scorpions the size of battle tanks. Three men died from Eyerot last week and I've sweated enough to fill a lake. Emperor help me, I love this place, it's just like home!"

dusk patrol
#

You don’t know any different

#

You’re prepared for the universe if you survive to leave

#

Still sucks but

queen laurel
#

that's a whole new level of shade and disrespect

median marsh
storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Tbh Catachans think anyone whose not them is a pansy

spring cairn
#

rightfully so

dusk patrol
#

Depends on the regiment

#

Cadians are a gold standard for a reason

storm jungle
#

Muscles also dont save you from stepping on a landmine 💀

spring cairn
#

I mean, it's understandable that they assume that

#

not that everyone but them is a pansy

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

from Black Ops 2?

#

oh him

#

But Catachan also profit a lot from mary sue'ness

Well I mean

molten swan

Mordians lost their world too no? ClutchGamesNotPearls

dusk patrol
#

Nah

#

Almost

#

They held out for a long long time

#

Iron Hands bailed them out

molten swan
#

Ah nice, not Cadians, phew

dusk patrol
#

Now they’re doing an Iron Crusade

molten swan
#

Iron Hands are cool too, makes sense

dusk patrol
#

I’m convinced half the reason they saved them is it worked for the Iron theme

storm jungle
#

the Mordians are not mentioned once

#

and its all Space Marine on Space Marine combat

dusk patrol
#

Tbf I don’t know if they’re actually supposed to be with them

#

Just that they saved the world as the start

storm jungle

And are moving through the rest of the sector

At least we get more Ferrus decapitation jokes out of it

dusk patrol

median marsh
#

to be honest more than half the fandom has no idea about more than half the setting

storm jungle
#

also true

dusk patrol
#

70% of the fandom doesn’t read anything

storm jungle

but if you remove the Iron Hands from the setting you don't lose much.

my favorite darktide moment is when Rannick said its Rannick time and inquisitored all over the traitor

warm notch
#

I was playing the carnival last night with my gf

#

And then Brahms was commenting on the first infiltration part

#

She said something along the lines of “That wasn’t exactly the most lowkey insertion, was it?”

But it’s been misappropriated by kids to mean “ass”

How long ago did he do that?

queen laurel

Lmao

warm notch
dire apex

5 years ago

#

Don’t think he started it

I’m sure he popularized it as an influencer though

Definitely

#

But it had a real meaning before it was misappropriated

dire apex
#

But fairly certain it’s been slang for nice ass for a long time

I’m not black so idk lmao

I just know from friends that slang today is just really from AAVE lmao

#

Most of the humor that comprises Gen Z is about being post-ironic (which can sometimes devolve into surreal post-post-irony)

#

So when people use so many terms like that they use it to mean absolutely nothing

median marsh
#

i dread to think what horrors we will come up with a few generations down the line

Even though Opera GX is really good at making memes they’re ultimately cancelled out by the fact that it’s from a corporate entity

Instantly making it uncool

If the ecclesiarchy does try to do something similar it’d be DOA

Though the fact that they would try would make it funnier

Haha long boy was a picture of an orange cylinder that's hard to explain

cringe isn't a property of an item, it's a reaction, you can control how you react to shit

Yes and my reaction is

i somehow understand perfectly

That being said I do find a lot of it funny I won’t lie

Even in the cringe there is humor

We live in a strange time

if you stop cringing you'll be happier

If I stopped doing a lot of things I’d be happier

Yeah the point was Horus wasn't trying.

he literally reaches into the "8th dimension" and plucks Sanguinius out of the air

#

What the hell is the 8th dimension

#

Khorne's realm?

storm jungle
#

Its talking about physical dimensions but like... I'm not exactly smart enough to know what the 8th one is, since the point is that Horus is so immersed in the Warp the laws of physics and reality dont apply to him.

"angle of space" is the weirdest possible way to describe a physical dimension, who wrote this

it's not technically wrong if you use the definition of spanning sets

He got his moneys worth out of the Blade Encarmine for sure

This feels like a you thing more than how they’re portrayed

storm jungle

I didnt need that image in my life

they are like the most generic marines

viral halo
#

Crimson fists are cool though cause a space marine named Hector de la Cruz can blast through a wall of orks with a power fist thats super red

#

I love their names lmao

dusk patrol
#

I know but it’s mostly just a “I don’t like the poster boys/they hurt my favorite boys so I don’t like them”

storm jungle
#

I mean no

#

we can get deeper than that

#

they just have no character

#

or like, anything to like lol

#

aside from

"Oh badass one liner"

dusk patrol

They have too much character if anything

storm jungle

Ehhhh

Too much if you wanna compare it to a wide lake that is puddle-deep

a space marine legion dedicated to building fortifications is so funny
being a space marine does not help you draw blueprints or operate machinery

Crimson fists btw, top 5 chapter for me, worst books ive ever read

I dont remember who wrote them but send them straight to the tibia breaker

#

it's possible to write a good stoic character, but it's hard and it takes a lot of work. Roland the gunslinger from The Dark Tower comes to mind

viral halo
#

Roland is just the driver from drive

storm jungle

Pretty much this

like theres a reason people hate most founding Chapters

and its not just "uwu posterboys bad"

roland makes the opposite choice compared to the Driver

he lets the girl die to continue his personal quest

first book growing up roland was way more interesting than later on imo

Much more than that!

Usually i only read about orks but i will give this one a shot

The Heresy one is just

The HH one is so fucking long lmao

Knight books aren’t terrible just not super good imo

#

Fine

viral halo
#

James Swallow is a good author too, I enjoyed Nemesis, but something felt missing from it

dusk patrol
#

Imo James Swallow is mostly terrible tbh but he has his moments

#

Nemesis is not one of those

#

Buried Dagger and Fear to Tread are his better books imo

#

The Blood Angels trilogy though, bleh

shadow plover
#

All his Heresy stuff is great

dusk patrol
#

There’s a reason Rafen hasn’t showed up at all in recent 40k

#

Flight of the Eisenstein is pretty good, Fear to Tread is pretty good, Buried Dagger I thought was actually great

#

Nemesis is just trash imo, especially in the second half

#

Kingmaker did inter-temple assassin drama in a way which felt believable

shadow plover
#

oh yeah never read/listened Nemesis

#

but I heard people liked it

dusk patrol
#

Nemesis legit has the goofiest assassin drama ever, and there’s no reason for half of them to be there even

#

One assassin is a pacifist

Somehow

I hope we get a little backstory for the Karnak twins

The little snippet of combat with one of them looked sick

Mount and blade warband PES_CringeGrin

Was the only game I played for years

dense salmon

If I add up terraria hours with mod loader terraria hours

#

It's probably at least 3k

#

Warframe like 3k as well

#

A lot of new people are jumping on darktide again because of the new content which is good

#

Unfortunately that means dealing with shitters in auric but the more the merrier

storm jungle

Also this fanbase can never be happy about anything

which is just getting eurgh at this point

Zola is an explicator. Rannick I believe is the interrogator. The Inquisitions ranks are informal, neither are above or below the other. It's more about experience and influence, which I believe rannick has more of. So in a sense and in that regard he is above her in authority. But only in that sense and regard
