[dusk patrol]

I like BG3 but it was kinda almost annoying how horny everyone was

[storm jungle]

only the Cold Trader is bi

[storm jungle]

Also yeah they are ANNOYINGLY horny

[dusk patrol]

No Gale I don’t wanna fuck I was literally just trying to be nice

[outer wave]

BG3 companions when literally anyone does anything nice to them

[storm jungle]

minus Astarion hes an angel

Whoops wrong Asterion™️

https://tenor.com/view/astarion-astarionbg3-baldur's-gate-3-spin-slay-gif-1505338574284698335

[dusk patrol]

They better add Ork companions as dlc

Ork Kommando would be amazing

And/or Mekboy

[rocky gale]

Gale "What do you think of this cool spell?"

Tav "That is indeed a cool spell"

Gale "So it's official we're now dating"

Tav "What?"

[dusk patrol]

Basically lol

[storm jungle]

Bro Gale is a fuckwad

[dusk patrol]

Hey now, he may be a dumbass

But fuck me if he wasn’t clutch as fuck

[storm jungle]

Im sorry I will be terminating him.

tho true

[dusk patrol]

Constant MVP

Tbh from what I’ve heard it’s mostly fine

[storm jungle]

A friend of mine whos currently playing it is saying a lot of the dialogue is also a bit jank.

[dusk patrol]

A little confusing mechanically

[rocky gale]

Wait, I can't romance the SoB?

[storm jungle]

I DONT think they also had a BL writer on board?

which is weird because most 40k games get one

[rocky gale]

Then what's the point of the game

[dusk patrol]

Narp

No Space Wolf or SoB rizz allowed

[outer wave]

I keep thinking that BL stands for Boys Love and it makes these sentences so much funnier to me

[storm jungle]

💀

[dusk patrol]

It’s just not her character

[outer wave]

What, you dont want a Boys Love writer in your 40k game?

[dusk patrol]

So can Ad Mech dudes

[storm jungle]

considering how they say said being shirtless in darktide isnt "lore accurate" you cannot even begin to guess 💀

[outer wave]

Mods exist lads

[green loom]

The dialogue is the same as the Pathfinders
Altogether not bad, but some off deliveries sometimes

[outer wave]

Or will exist

[dusk patrol]

Being real, romance options are like, the last thing I’m super concerned about in a 40k game

[storm jungle]

Romances are usually pretty important in CRPGS

its half of what makes them memorable/timeless

BG3 is gonna be talked about for 15+ years or so lol

a big part of that is the cast

[green loom]

The RT thing wouldn't bug me if the Aeldari Ranger and Navigator weren't romanceable

[storm jungle]

YOU CAN LITERALLY ROMANCE

THE DRUKHARI

AS A MAN OR A WOMAN

BUT NOT YOUR TEAMMATES

[outer wave]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[dusk patrol]

You shouldn’t because

Jfc what a dumb idea

[storm jungle]

I mean

[dusk patrol]

But you can

[outer wave]

Your teammates only know loyalty and nothing else

[storm jungle]

[outer wave]

Dude wheres the Ogryn romance

Gimme the ogryn romance right now

OWLCAT MAKE THIS HAPPEN WE NEED OGRYN SE--

[dusk patrol]

Narp

As long as the romance options in the game are fine tbh I’m ok with them being a select few

It’s ok for characters to not want to fuck you

[storm jungle]

read that as "I'm ok with them being a racist few"

[dusk patrol]

Well yeah

Comes with the territory

[storm jungle]

I was fixing my glasses

[outer wave]

If they're written well and there's alot of branching paths with said romances, I think it makes up for the lack of variety

[storm jungle]

deffo

[dusk patrol]

I just want the Space Wolf, SoB, and Eldar in my party at all times for maximum hilarity

I feel kinda bad for the “normal human but they’re like a former guardsman or something idk” companions

[storm jungle]

yeah literally there because for checkbox lol

[dusk patrol]

Gotta compete with a Eldar, SoB, space wolf, tech priest, psyker

[storm jungle]

Like

if it was someone like Merrick from Dawn of War i could see it?

but you know, hes not

so

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-to-play-with-you-anymore-toy-story-i-dont-wanna-play-with-you-anymore-dont-wanna-play-no-more-play-gif-26906930

[dusk patrol]

Fun fact: You can add Wyll to your party in BG3

I know right? Now it’s not clear why you would.

But you can!

[storm jungle]

Yeah Wyll is just oof

literally you wanna do anything fun he acts as the buzzkill

get the fuck out of my camp you fuck

[warm notch]

this is so sad

after stardew valley

[dusk patrol]

Also it’s impossible to make him look cool and I was already a Warlock

[warm notch]

Every character needs to be playersexual

With new arcs depending on which sexuality

[dusk patrol]

And I banged his patron

[warm notch]

It needs to be a law

[storm jungle]

Owned

[tulip brook]

hero of somewhere but literally a bitch for a demon how does it even work and his character arc is, I'm ok with everything whatever

[dusk patrol]

Then he was like “don’t you know that caused souls to suffer so you could get laid?”

It’s like “Wyll I was already into it you don’t need to make it sound cooler than I already thought it was.”

I need to replay it though, curious about the new stuff

The ending was soooo abrupt

[tulip brook]

cba going through all that for a 3rd time for me

[storm jungle]

Very interesting abilities.

[green loom]

The cutscenes for this are so much better than wrath

[dusk patrol]

[storm jungle]

The moment these mfers act out I'll be icin' em

[dusk patrol]

You just know that Interrogator is gonna be into it

Gonna need to bring the Ad Mech along everywhere so I can have one guy suggest to servitorize anyone who crosses us

Just like me in any FFG RPG I’ve played

[rocky gale]

Ughhhh they did the dialogue thing again

[storm jungle]

What thing?

[rocky gale]

Where only like 5% of the game is voiced at random inconsistent times

[dusk patrol]

I kinda expect it for most CRPGs tbh

[storm jungle]

Yeah was gonan say

its a bit annoying but eh

[rocky gale]

It's a massive annoyance to me, in my eyes there's only three ways of doing it

1. Don't voice anything
2. Voice every character
3. Have a single narrator voice everything

Having one scene voiced and then the next one not is just ugghhhh, the inconsistency of it agonises my brain

[storm jungle]

It definitely gets irksome at times yeah

especially when they just not even properly voice the starting portions lol

[coarse pumice]

What about voices only on sfx?

[rocky gale]

Like to me it's like reading a book or listening to an audiobook, either or is fine. But it's like if I was sitting reading a book but every so often at random times certain sentences were just said out loud, it's just annoying.

[coarse pumice]

Like grunts and cries and stuff

Rather than dialogue

[rocky gale]

Oh yea random SFX voicing is fine

[coarse pumice]

How many Eldars can you get?

[storm jungle]

Two

the Ranger and the Dracon

also

@soft thunder

https://www.playdarktide.com/news/zolas-journal-i

[warm notch]

👀

Shee

[storm jungle]

Nothing too major but at least we finally got a jorunal now

[green loom]

Zola is the traitor guys

The update is called "The Traitor Curse" there must be a traitor on the mourningstar

[storm jungle]

Women can't write

something is afoot here

[warm notch]

Ikr

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/women-gif-20634474

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[coarse pumice]

There’s another traitor… among us?

[dusk patrol]

[wintry scarab]

Is the eviscerator the chainsword the one that space marine infantry use?

Im guessing not but still interested

[tulip brook]

no and yes?

[median marsh]

Eviscerator is the two handed chainsword

marines use all of them really

[tulip brook]

they are chainswords at the end of the day. but the model and quality is way different

also they aren't the eviscerators repentia chicks use either

[wintry scarab]

So if you were to give this to a person, would it be too big or look like the eviscerator?

[near wasp]

I just thought marines had there own patterns

[wintry scarab]

Yeah, but im just curious if they are the same size as the zelot chainsword

[dusk patrol]

They use “normal” chain swords too

Evicerators come in normal and marine size

And they’re big

Literally as tall as the marine often

Higher quality ones which marines and sisters use often have a power field on the chain too

[soft thunder]

[green loom]

RT has trigger discipline

[viral halo]

reddit finger

Hold on @green loom I have a relevant copy pasta for you

It’s funny, but really though if you own a gun over a year without negligent discharging at least once, you aren't handling it enough. NDs are a natural part of handling weapons, just like tweaking your back is part of weightlifting and car accidents are part of driving. I ND several times a year because I actually HANDLE and know how to USE my weapons. It makes me a better firearms handler and marksman, and it's a small part of the price you pay in the sheepdog lifestyle Simple fact is, the "safety mentality" will build mental blocks in your head that will get you killed. You need to be comfortable putting your finger on the trigger and pointing the gun wherever you want no matter the time, place, or status of the weapon. Taking time to check whether the gun is loaded whenever you pick one up will serve to make you hesitate in a personal defense scenario. You fucking safety idiots are going to get people killed all because of this fucking "ND" shaming. Guns are inherently dangerous, you need to accept it.

[dusk patrol]

Own a laslock for home defense, since that's what the Emperor intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the Throne?" As I grab my powdered psywig and laslock. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my grav pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's scattershot and nails the neighbors servo skull, crushing it. I have to resort to the plasma cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with increased power, "Tally ho lads" the plasma cannon shreds two men in the blast, the sound and splash set off car alarms. Fix chain bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the Enforcers to arrive since serrated chain bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the Emperor intended.

[green loom]

Is this just cope about being lazy lol

[dusk patrol]

I think it’s a meme

[viral halo]

It was posted in my discord last year and cracks me up every time I read it

I personally dry fire my shit to see if it's loaded

[green loom]

Oh lol

[queen pawn]

Hihi I'm a bit new to darktide

But my friends had an idea I kinda wanted to share

((Most of them are in this server lmao))

But they think there are things called "gene stealers" around or whatever? Thas why no one can warp travel? When one of my friends heard that in game they were all "aw no they're gonna add gene stealers"

What are they all about?

Also my boyfriend says they could totally add warks (or however they're spelled. Ork kinda people) if they wanted to. Just chuck an asteroid at one of the towers that we see in the main loading screen and jt could work. But I'm curious about gene stealers

Like what are they? Why are they called that? How can they stop warp travel? I'm so curious

[chilly copper]

Hadron & Enginseer banter; available soon
https://youtu.be/9Go9-_pevTk

[storm jungle]

Love your stuff dude, god speed with the voiceline diggings 🙏

[arctic talon]

For, one genestealers don’t stop warp travel, they’re a sub species of tyranids that can infect other species to give birth to weird hybrids

[vale fjord]

Gotta love kayex being in total distraught seeing the heretics using the omnissiah's works for heretical stuff

[arctic talon]

They’re called genestealers because they quite literally hijack your entire reproductive system, and whatever kids you end up having will be a hybrid between a tyranid and whatever species the infected is

[queen pawn]

Really?? So like do they look different? My friend says they're Planet killers or something from how fast they spread around

Ooooo

I wanna learn more

What about warks? Are they good? The way my bf puts it they're like orks

[storm jungle]

Definitely read the lexicanum page.

Its not too complex and explains what they are pretty basically.

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

and not too long either

[queen pawn]

Oh God reading

[storm jungle]

[queen pawn]

It looks terrifying and I haven't started reading yet 😭

[arctic talon]

If you want a tldr, genestealers end up forming cults with the infected people and hybrids, eventually they’ll rise up against the planet softening it up for a tyranid invasion

[queen pawn]

Oooooooo

I like the sound of that I gotta know more

[arctic talon]

Genestealer hybrids range from thing that doesn’t look human at all, to looks human but has a few features that are weird

[vale fjord]

So how did morrow survive genestealers

[dusk patrol]

Smh more of this baseless misinformation.

These guys are all liars, this is why they’re called Jeanstealers

[arctic talon]

And this happens via generations of them having children

[dusk patrol]

They can

It’s not consistent

[arctic talon]

They vat birth kids

Generally speaking

But yes a “family” so to speak is possible

[dusk patrol]

We have examples of them cloning themselves effectively into a kid

[queen pawn]

That looks cool and disgusting all at the same time

A true warhammer experience

[dusk patrol]

Or having a kid with another Magos or whatever

[arctic talon]

I’m mailing you a brick

[dusk patrol]

Damn Christmas early

[dusk patrol]

He didn’t get killed

[storm jungle]

By shooting em

[dusk patrol]

Cults are put down plenty of times

They don’t auto win

[vale fjord]

Fair enough

[storm jungle]

It usually depends.

[arctic talon]

Tbh we don’t know if it was a cult or like

[dusk patrol]

They’re just a dangerous threat

[arctic talon]

Just literal genestealers

[vale fjord]

We should write down rumors of morrow

[dusk patrol]

Like anything else

[storm jungle]

If they grow actually out of control yeah they are kinda auto-winning.

the problem is

they are EVERYWHERE

which is not good

[vale fjord]

He was at hades hive with genestealers now that I rember the line from one of the vet persona

[storm jungle]

Nah

its Xanatros

some random planet

[vale fjord]

Oh

Man I rember hades hive most

[storm jungle]

Hades Hive is Armageddon

[dusk patrol]

There’s guard who survive encounters with the Necrons and daemons, GSC isn’t exactly the biggest threat compared to those.

[arctic talon]

Hades hive is a seperate event

That morrow survived apparently

[vale fjord]

I think im mixing it up cuz I also know for a fact he was buddy buddy with old bale eye yarrick

[arctic talon]

And that imo is the most likely one

Along with the being lost in warp travel story

[storm jungle]

He wasn't

he was just a random sergeant

i think you are mixing it up like you said, since Morrow lines come and go

[vale fjord]

There was a line abt it

I cant rember the full interaction

Haven't gotten it again so I need to get lucky again

[arctic talon]

But Morrow is old as dirt

[vale fjord]

But I know yarrick was mentioned as well as morrow

[arctic talon]

As far as we know

[vale fjord]

I should play as male agitator zealot again cuz thats how I got the line

In the carnival mission ye

[dusk patrol]

He’s working for an Inquisitor now at fairly high level on their staff so him receiving Juv treatments treatments can be safely assumed

[storm jungle]

Its warp travel.

Its explained in like 3 seperate interactions since he got lost during transit

I CANT SPELL TRANSIT

[dusk patrol]

I’d assume it’s both at this point

[vale fjord]

Morrow is very mysterious

[dusk patrol]

Whenever he got picked up by them

[vale fjord]

All them rumors

[dusk patrol]

How does he maintain that stache for example?

[vale fjord]

Ikr

[dusk patrol]

Perhaps we’ll never know

[vale fjord]

Perhaps he was really at the scene of the emperor executing horus :trol:

[storm jungle]

god i love that line from the Cadian

pure "I had enough of this shit."

[vale fjord]

I love the humor the rejects have considering it's the grim dark future of 40k

[storm jungle]

its Gallow's Humor as the trope goes

soldiers tend to be like that

[vale fjord]

Especially the seer's interaction with the fanatic

[dusk patrol]

It’s a pretty typical trait in 40k books

[vale fjord]

And the judge with the bodyguard

No doubt all 3 vet personas are already funny

Okay going off topic

What is considered as a real event from the morrow rumors

[storm jungle]

Him being on Armageddon

the others are very far fetched

[green loom]

He's a steel legionnaire

[arctic talon]

Him being in Hades hive and him being lost in warp travel

the rest feel

[vale fjord]

Isn't that like centuries ago

[arctic talon]

out there

[arctic talon]

lost in warp travel

[storm jungle]

As we just said above

[arctic talon]

can solve that

[storm jungle]

we got lost in warp travel

Grendyl found him after that

[vale fjord]

I was gonna mention that part

Warp travel apparently preserved him making him really old after being found

[storm jungle]

Hes a middle-aged white guy

hes perpetually old

[arctic talon]

💀

[storm jungle]

[vale fjord]

I need to write down every single morrow rumors possible

One still in my mind is with him being with yarrick

I need to get that line again

[arctic talon]

has a mind shackle scarab

is one of them lul

[vale fjord]

Aren't those the lil fella crabs of the necron race

[storm jungle]

yep

they go and take a nap in your brain

[vale fjord]

Cute lil fellas

[nocturne crest]

Just a little guy.

[storm jungle]

[vale fjord]

I dont care what they do to me I want one as a pet

[storm jungle]

...

[green loom]

Rogue Trader is real nice

[vale fjord]

Look man

I know you would want one as a pet

Don't lie to me

[crisp heath]

Scarab are babies and deserve kisses

[vale fjord]

So are the necrons basically going extinct

[dusk patrol]

They can’t reproduce so

Eventually yeah

But there’s still a shit ton of them and it’s hard to kill them so

“Going extinct”

“Endangered”

[vale fjord]

Shhh shhh

Slowly going extinct

Why did they choose to be immortal just to realize they hate it

Are they stupid

[dusk patrol]

Well there was this guy called the Deceiver

And believe it or not

[rocky gale]

Because they all had mega cancer and were told it was a cure

[dusk patrol]

He was Deceitful

[vale fjord]

So basically the loki of 40k

[dusk patrol]

Plus, they don’t all hate it

And they would definitely admit to the perks

[vale fjord]

True

[dusk patrol]

Especially when it comes to kicking all these whippersnappers ass

[vale fjord]

Not until the orks shows up

[dusk patrol]

They are not worried about Orks

[vale fjord]

I know

Just saying

[dusk patrol]

In some books it’s described as nostalgic to fight them actually

[vale fjord]

Since orks are literal funguses its gonna last forever

[dusk patrol]

Probably yeah

[vale fjord]

But hey

Free fighting for da orkz

[green loom]

Hehehehhe

[storm jungle]

Holy shit discord reference!!!!

[hexed furnace]

YO GOATED NAME BROSKI

Love the nickname haha

[verbal path]

[terse elbow]

Does anyone know why commisars shoot left handed for the most part? this isnt a setup for a punchline

[green loom]

Preference

[verbal path]

Gotta have a sword in the right.

[arctic talon]

drip

[molten swan]

lore wise, no reason(maybe their dominant hand?), model wise, there are some commissars with both, could be the way the model is molded or something, but probably just reusing basic poses, and touching on how the necrons were decieved, the world of Necrontyr was basically an irradiated hellhole, they wanted to live longer so they told the deciever they wished for longer life, he twisted their words and turned them into undying robots, technically granting their wish, but none of them are happy about it so they hate the deceiver(and most Ctan) iirc

“The being known as Mephet’ran came to us, speaking honeyed platitudes and halftruths, and to my shame we heeded its words. We exchanged the soul of our race for the illusion of emancipation. My revenge, when at last it came, earned me but a sliver of satisfaction. It pleases me to know that this avatar of disruption is now slaved to the cause of Necron dominance and galactic order. I only hope that this is as torturous a fate for the Deceiver as the weight of failure is for myself." -Szarekh, Last of the Silent Kings

[storm jungle]

As usual the latest trailer sucked ass

It was just a few shots of space marines standing in a pile shooting at stuff

[queen laurel]

Gw starts having epileptics seizures if they can't make space marine look cool

[storm jungle]

💀

[green loom]

Meanwhile we balling in rogue trader

I'm running officer with a longlas

Going to recruit myself a generic goon squad to replace redundant companions

[storm jungle]

🙏

[rocky gale]

Being a Psyker in Rogue Trader kinda sucks because you start with a Psy rating of 0 and one psychic talent, while one of your first companions starts with a PR of 1 and two talents, so she's just always there and better than you.

and at lvl10 when you can upgrade to PR 1, she can upgrade to PR 2

So she is literally just always better than you

[storm jungle]

and that is why im just playing on Story difficulty lol

[queen laurel]

Alright it seems the game is good then, so if you don't mind spoiling me a little bit what origin makes me the most deranged person to ever exist

I'm talking I will shoot the next thing I see if it disagrees with me even a little bit

[storm jungle]

Lmao id say depends

you can literally select a personality thats a crazy person

[queen laurel]

a Melee commissar that is off the rails

hmm

ohh yeah it's coming together

[green loom]

I'm playing on normal, it's pretty fine so far

[green loom]

Dude

Melee

Is fucking insane

Especially combined with an officer

[queen laurel]

Yeah the range doesn't seem bad but i want to be up close and personal

[green loom]

Abelard literally butchers like 10 people per turn for me lmfao

If enemies are bunched up Argenta can put some work in with bursts from her bolter

But it's nothing compared to Abelard literally walking through like 6 enemies and 3 hitting bosses

[queen laurel]

He's the first guy you get right?

[green loom]

Yes

[queen laurel]

A terrifying melee monster of the bat

This game knows me so well

[dusk patrol]

Oh yeah we're ready

[storm jungle]

Halo tier shipname

it aint no Shadow of Intent but its equally badass

[crisp heath]

I'm not playing until there's a patch or mod that adds more lesbian options. I was mainly drawn to the possibility to date Cassia and since I can't I'm a bit sour on the whole thing

How does character creation compare to owlcats pathfinder games btw

Can the process take a few hours

[molten swan]

The last ship I named was from some random RP, "The Throne's Divine Demands", in other news, rogue trader looks really good

need to pick that up sometime

Probably play a navy boyo or something

[dusk patrol]

Quite extensive in terms of starting classes and origin and stuff, only human for race but thats to be expected.

[dusk patrol]

Yeah its one we used for an RT session awhile back, iirc it was our final late game ship. Was fun, worked well.

[crisp heath]

Yeah but about how many hours can I expect of character creation @dusk patrol

Can I stretch it into 3 or more?

[dusk patrol]

Uh, I probably spent an hour, just reading over the different stuff and deciding what the best choices were.

[crisp heath]

Acceptable

[storm jungle]

Im 2 hours in and I just got done with the fucking tutorial

[normal light]

In Rogue Trader?

[median marsh]

Peter Griffin cameo was my favorite segment

[storm jungle]

💀

[storm jungle]

Yep

[queen laurel]

How much war crimes did you commit in that span of a tutorial

[grave sparrow]

Is RT comparable to BG3 or are they different enough to stand alone?

well shit, 89% positive reviews on release day? Looks worth.

[storm jungle]

Its good but not that comparable to BG3 i think

one is massive and had like 7 years of development

[queen laurel]

It's very close but it's based on the rogue trader board game

[storm jungle]

^

[queen laurel]

Yeah but it's definitely one of the hardest hitting warhammer games available you can get no questions

Because it's actually GOOD

[grave sparrow]

Yea, I'll probably pick that up soon.

[vale fjord]

do commissars genuinely like having ogryns around (yes i know about the treadt them bad thing you DIE)

[dusk patrol]

They can

Depends

Ogryns are often led by a commissar

[vale fjord]

no like

do they enjoy the company of ogryns

[median marsh]

It has its ups and downs

It could depend entirely on the commissar really

[dusk patrol]

^

[median marsh]

Id wager that the commissar would have a somewhat easier time with em considering Ogryns like commissars quite a bit

[dusk patrol]

I know there’s a couple quotes on how it’s much simpler

[median marsh]

The issues being stuff like their claustrophobia

[dusk patrol]

They tend to just follow orders

They’re tough as hell

It’s just on the same token

Can’t get too complex

And you have to cater to their fears and stuff yeah

[median marsh]

Honestly it's one of the better positions to find yourself in, all things considered

You have gigantic muscle dudes that can beat a marine to death

[vale fjord]

anoither morrow rumor i havent heard of

morrow was in morrigar, having robotmen put stuff in his brain

[median marsh]

Yeah he got a whole lot of stuff supposedly happen to him

[vale fjord]

the more i hear these type of morrow rumors the more im starting to believe morrow was actually there when the emperor slayed horus

[arctic talon]

Funny mind shackle scarab

[chilly copper]

Karnak Twins; for those interested
https://youtu.be/xKEfXcvlgyw

[median marsh]

Man Rodin is quite hungry

[tulip brook]

they casually dropped the fact that one of the highest members is compromised

[median marsh]

It's not really a fact

it's very unlikely that it's true

A lot of these stories are basically "I heard that he wrestled the yeti and threw him into space!"

[tulip brook]

or chekhov's gun for faction we won't really face for a long time

[median marsh]

I really don't think we'll be facing necrons

[tulip brook]

most likely just a hint for their existence in universe, a new player hears about funny robot men and they indeed exist as a whole faction

[shadow plover]

Exactly this

Like many of the other nods at other factions

[dusk patrol]

Yeah almost any other faction is more likely

Besides more Chaos cults the only ones I think that are likely is a GSC and maybe Orks, but I doubt anything besides GSC and other chaos dudes

It’s of those have a ton of humanoid enemies they can use existing assets to make and aren’t that wildly different from the current enemies

[tulip brook]

yup just add specialists with a few extra arms

[umbral nymph]

When your stuck in realspace because your warp drive just got hit with Ultra depression

frickin love the mechanicus

[celest dome]

Same thing for the Hrud, the Genestealer, the Ratling and a buttload of other things

[celest dome]

Orks they want to do but it4s not their time yet, so next game probably

[median marsh]

Love it, the kind of stuff I would use if something in the office broke

"I'm sorry, the server is currently going through it's edgy phase and refuses to cooperate, our best priest is on the case"

Which is whats currently happening at the office because the server just gave up for no apparent reason

[umbral nymph]

"Yeah I want to print the report, but the printer just divorced with the scanner 2 days ago, I dont think hes ready for any work yet"

[wet sandal]

I'm still not over the fact that space marines spit acid. It's like the emperor was designing them in a lab "Ok so: super strength, super resilience, regeneration, 2 hearts, 3 lungs, reinforced bone structure. But something is missing, hmm.... Ah yes, make them spit fucking acid, why not"

[dusk patrol]

It has to do with them being able to eat anything and break down almost anything, the spit is a bonus to it.

A lot of the organs have several combined roles.

[tulip brook]

it probably went like that, not in a lab by emps but in a board room with james workshop. emps went multiple iterations for years and deemed betcher's gland, which has less to nothing to do with digestion, is necessary for them. then a lot of marines find it ridiculous and useless and it's deteriorated in some legions

[green loom]

Also emps wasn't directly in charge of like

A good chunk of the astartes program

[dusk patrol]

He was heavily involved with it though.

But they also didn’t manage to get all they wanted done

The stuff Cawl added later were plans they had for organs which weren’t finished in time

[dusk patrol]

The gland is in multiple sources mentioned to mostly be used to break down extremely tough things they’re trying to eat, either for survival purposes, eating or biting into something for the Omophagea to get memories out of, or personal enjoyment.

The acid spit is more just extra tbh

It’s loss in some chapters and gene lines wasn’t something they preferred but it’s not the most important organ

I believe the current reason is they cut corners during the heresy when making Imperial Fists inductii and it eventually degraded the geneseed enough where it stopped working

The sus membrane similarly is extremely useful in certain scenarios, but they can survive without it

Astartes in general are built around a lot of redundancies and being able to survive in extremely inhospitable environments

[radiant lance]

If you spit acid, wouldn't it cause a bunch of acid burns in your esophagus and mouth?

[tulip brook]

it's like snake venom, they are immune to it

[wintry scarab]

Does anyone how much freedom you have with clothing customization in rogue trader? Is there transmog and things or nah?

I saw ppl talking about the game before and idk where else to ask this

[storm jungle]

holy shit some official necrontyr art

end of an era

[green loom]

Impossible

That a new Loremasters episode

[arctic talon]

Holy shit

[storm jungle]

Destiny-ass lookin' art

i love it

[plush mason]

the first image looks like something from warframe lol

love it

[arctic talon]

I know what the bottom art reminds me of

Also

[celest dome]

Make me think of those dark Protos

[arctic talon]

The interior of the pyramid ships

I like the darkness architecture a lot in destiny

[warm notch]

NEW VOX

https://youtu.be/-Le0QlrxhiQ?si=wpAGXEe54zW3dXrr

(I really wish there was closed captioning)

[plush mason]

i love how when ever you talk to one of the tech-priests you can be like "can someone repeat what they just said but in high gothic"

also rogue trader has let me with a question. are voidborn abhumans?

[umbral nymph]

Shouldve taken the rejects with abject plasteel addiction, maybe it would've gotten better

[warm notch]

Fr

I wonder if we’ll ever meet NPC rejects

Would be a nice change of pace

[umbral nymph]

Well technically abhumans are creatures the strayed from the typical human genome, unless there's some noticable mutations, they're still standard humans

[plush mason]

most of them have pale skin and gaunt features. but not all

[rocky gale]

Maybe, they diverge due to the environment they're born and raised in rather than genetic reasons.

[plush mason]

yeah

[umbral nymph]

I guess that counts as mutations but it's still within the typical human template, as soon as you grow an extra limb or elongated necks or arms, now we're talking

[arctic talon]

No generally speaking

Long shanks are abhumans that result from low gravity/void born

But not void born

[rocky gale]

Although one of the Deck officers in Rogue Trader does refer to Voidborn as Abhuman, but that's less of a lore statement and more of an indication of his character because he's a noble who see's them as cattle.

[umbral nymph]

NGL, roleplaying as an actual sympathetic, kind and soft spoken rouge trader and watching your subjects just baffled or outright blushing from my kindness, in the 41st millennium no less, it's kinda nice didn't know I'd be into it

Kinda ironic cuz I'm a commosar

[plush mason]

so the ships still have to be steered in the warp

[umbral nymph]

Yep, it's basically sailing at pitch black night with only the north star to guide you

That is you know, if no warp shenanigans happen to your ship

[queen laurel]

it has been shown just acting kind is often enough to get people to like you shown by Ciaphias Cain, so being a genuinely kind person definitely Works

[umbral nymph]

Exactly, during CC, I was like, what if I played a female Ciaphias Cain.. I just maxed out fellowship and all perks that boost fellowship, I'm gonna conquer the sector with the power of friendship

[rocky gale]

Going into RT I thought I'd simp for the Sister or the Navigator, but instead I've fallen for the Vox Master

[queen laurel]

turn this grim dark future into an anime

I want to be a melee centered rogue trader

I just want to go in there and straight up have the brute strength to cleave a space marine in two

[queen laurel]

The problem is i'm still downloading the game thanks to this god forsakenly slow internet

[umbral nymph]

Me patiently waiting to recruit the eldar

[queen laurel]

An ordo Xenos a dark eldar and an eldar in the same ship

What could possibly go wrong

[umbral nymph]

Sounds like a party

I'm gonna get some shut eye been playing for like 8 hours straight. Damn this game gud

[urban spire]

voidborn aren't abhuman, their appearance isn't caused by genetics, it's literally just what being born in the void does to a mf

poor diet and funky gravity i think

[median marsh]

yeah, theyre exposed to the warp more often alongside lower gravity

in real life Astronauts undergo therapy after they return from space because being in zero g for long periods of time actually changes your body

[urban spire]

yeah it decompresses the spine, redistributes fat

[median marsh]

voidborne dont get like, full zero gravity often but lower than on worlds

[urban spire]

depletes your bones of calcium

astronauts are near the peak of human fitness when they get sent into space, after a year in zero g (in real life) they can barely walk on earth

whereas longshanks in 40k ARE abhumans, developed on low gravity worlds

mind there's a lot more genetic variance within what's considered mainline humanity in 40k than in real life

[median marsh]

tau air caste are kinda similar

since theyre always in space

[wintry scarab]

To anyone with rogue trader, how is the customization besides initial char creation? Is there dyes? Transmog?

[urban spire]

like there's a couple dudes in the gaunt's ghost novels who are just naturally taller than 250cm

[urban spire]

another prime example of this is people from cadia, with purple as a natural eye colour

[green loom]

Your char has a set of colour schemes
No transmog as of yet, though I have no doubt they'll add it since it was in their last game

[urban spire]

how are people liking it so far?

[green loom]

Or if it is already in I haven't seen it, I'm still in the first system

[green loom]

Loving it

[urban spire]

oh it's fucking full price though

i love capitalism

i feel like my party would be way too small if i pick up this game

[celest dome]

50€, that's somewhat fine

[urban spire]

i can't afford that for a little while

[urban spire]

there's way too many types of dude in that game what i actively dislike

hey how does the game justify you bringing your navigator with you out of the ship?

[green loom]

It doesn't

[urban spire]

correct way to do it

[dense salmon]

The music in the new mission is peak 40k sound design

The glitched-out choruses

[urban spire]

the new mission is cool but it feels weirdly shut in compared to other missions

missing some of those open vistas

[wintry scarab]

Alright, thanks!

[warm notch]

It being a remix of Immortal Imperium really sells the fact that you're deep within the heart of the enemy operation

[dense salmon]

It's good stuff

[warm notch]

And it gives you the vibe everything they're manufacturing is a perversion of the Imperium's technology

Y'know, like what Kayrex is lamenting the entire time

[dense salmon]

Claustrophobia was definitely a goal in some sections

Unfortunately this coincided with the new fire bug

That instantly drains your health

Has that been fixed yet? I haven't played in a few days

[warm notch]

The trek across the apartment complex/manufactorum is pretty much the highlight of the level

[urban spire]

also the dickhead that fills entire rooms with stink bombs

[warm notch]

There really isn't that much room for maneuvering

[queen laurel]

Rondin the bastard

[old pelican]

anyone out there have a line on bases that would match tertium for 40k/ I am making my characters.

[dense salmon]

Continuing with the theme of a drug den and red-light district

Another mission where we bust up a casino would be cool

Well, less casino and more gambling den

[warm notch]

I love how they lead us to a hookah lounge

and then we bust our way to the real manufactorum anyway

[urban spire]

obscura den isnt it

[warm notch]

yes

[celest dome]

No make it a Casino and we use a Lascutter to drill into the Vault, with Hallowette shouting at us on how to steal the loot

[arctic talon]

Piece of shit drill

[dense salmon]

Drill??? Genestealers????

[warm notch]

When she steals all over my genes

[celest dome]

And have Brunt be the Vocator when we are drilling

[warm notch]

we really do need an ogryn npc

and then Imperium-sanctioned catboys

[celest dome]

Brunt

[warm notch]

That would make darktide a 10/10 game to an 11/10

[celest dome]

The Quarter Master is an Ogryn

[warm notch]

ik

I mean like

We need him actually talking and shit lmao

I want to interact with him

Tho I wouldn't want him to replace his servitor. The servitor is iconic.

[celest dome]

Making him a Vocator like Hadron, which is involved when there are using the Servo Skulls

[tough haven]

Have necrons and tau really engaged each other that much? cause I'd love to see a book or something with them fighting each other, the oldest race and the newest pitted up against one another, I think their opinions of each other would be interesting to see

[arctic talon]

They’ve fought each other like twice in total

And it was a one sided stomp in necron favor both times

[tough haven]

Well of course

but I just imagine the horror of the Tau, with how unnerved they were by the imperium and how old dreadnoughts were, imagine them faced with the necrons

[crisp heath]

So I’ve heard if the imperium only had one foe to fight instead of one hundred they could wipe out any other faction head to head. Am I’m wondering if the necrons all actually worked together and woke up would they also have that kinda power?

Like singlehandley slapping the tyranids out of the galaxy

Kinda stuff

[celest dome]

Yes, if they allied up they would be able to destroy everything in the Galaxy

[queen laurel]

the Necrons as a Unified force is straight up deadly

They have super weapons of mass destruction imagine that not being used against each other and instead focus on everyone in the galaxy

[arctic talon]

If the Necrons fully awakened and were unified they’d shit on every faction

[queen laurel]

Yeah and there are very little things that can even offer a challenge against a unified necron horde

The basic guns of their infantry can tear the tanks that you throw at them now imagine that in the horde of billions

[dusk patrol]

Necrons also have endless goofy doomsday weapons

And if they ever had a dynasty willing to use stuff like the Orrery in control of it

Shits all OP

[storm jungle]

Yeah the only thing stopping necrons is convenient plot excuses basically

[dusk patrol]

Even factions like the Drukhari probably can’t hide since the Necrons are one of the rare factions which knows how to get into the web way consistently.

[storm jungle]

"Time eroded [insert mcguffin here]"

[queen laurel]

Orks also uniting can at least offer a wall of bodies while the other factions scramble for attack opportunities

[storm jungle]

the Imperium could never manage that, people forget its not a functioning empire by any means, if there was no threats even left in the entire galaxy the Imperium would just infight each other instead.

[queen laurel]

Every single ork the galaxy versus every single necron will be one of the greatest cage match opportunities in the galaxy

[dusk patrol]

Orks are really one of the least concerns for Necrons, they already kicked their ass when they were at their peak supported by Eldar and Old Ones and who knows what else

[queen laurel]

That's why i said offer a wall of bodies providing support to the other factions

[rocky gale]

Necrons scary, encountered a Necron tomb in a Rogue Trader game once and they atomised my character in a single turn.

[queen laurel]

They can at least distract the necrons while the other guys plan something if they united

I might be an ork fan but a united necron force is nothing to scoff

[dusk patrol]

Most tomb works awakening are on minimal security settings and they’re still rarely “won”

[normal light]

Only weakness of Necrons is their mindlessness of lover castes

[arctic talon]

Lore accurate

[normal light]

and yet with their leaders being able to just being revived it`s not so weakening

Only faction to match up necrons are maybe Nids but like nids only have numbers

no Bio-Mass

no numbers

no nids

[rocky gale]

Yea, we were only supposed to secure the area outside it, but the techpriests were a bunch of xeno nuts so they insisted we go inside to check out I spent the entire time saying "We shouldn't be in here, this isn't the mission" and then one of the Techboys pressed a button, Necrons emerged and I was vaporised instantly.

[queen laurel]

If somehow the Orks can at least drag out the fight they can grow bigger at least

[dusk patrol]

Imotekh has like one recorded loss and it was because he got caught by himself with only his ship surrounded completely

[storm jungle]

How convenient

[queen laurel]

But the other factions are definitely again have something of their sleeves for such an event

[storm jungle]

[normal light]

[storm jungle]

yeah the problem with the necrons is they are broken levels of OP

for example we got the Pariah Nexus coming up

whats their excuse for not wiping out the Imperials and Cawl?

Infighting

as usual lmao

[arctic talon]

Cawl gets blackstone. Leaves

End plot

[storm jungle]

yep

[arctic talon]

[dusk patrol]

They already finished the tech trees a long time ago

[arctic talon]

I bet that’s what’s going to happen

[storm jungle]

Same

[normal light]

Casual situation for "poster boys" of the season

[queen laurel]

Their fuckin infantry have guns that can straight up kill wolverine if he got shot in the head

[arctic talon]

They aren’t poster boys tho

[queen laurel]

Not even just the head

[arctic talon]

They’ve always been like this

[queen laurel]

The rest of his body would be in severe pain

[normal light]

Nah I meant like they are main part of bigger event

[dusk patrol]

Ultramarines have like no real wins against them

[normal light]

I now that they were always OP

[dusk patrol]

Pariah Nexus has all been Necrons casually shitting on everyone

With no effort

[normal light]

But like now they will get more attention and become maybe even more OP

[arctic talon]

Hey the imperium killed an overlord

💀

[dusk patrol]

It’s like anything, obviously GW isnt gonna end the setting

[normal light]

When he would be resurrected?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[normal light]

It`s time to steal necron orbies

also yes

What does Necron orbs do?

Like what is their purpose

[storm jungle]

Resurrection Orbs

as the name implies

[normal light]

oh

[arctic talon]

They help other Necrons nearby reanimate

[dusk patrol]

They’re not needed to resurrect though

[arctic talon]

For the orb overlords hold

[dusk patrol]

They just help

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[dusk patrol]

Do it faster

Johnny on the Spot rez

[normal light]

Yeah, I might try out Necrons in kill team

cause yeah

Skeletons

https://tenor.com/view/necrons-necron-40k-gif-25759087

[arctic talon]

Their killteam is hard as shit to play ngl

[normal light]

I at least will try

[cloud grotto]

Majorkill is saying in a video that they've retconned major lore to say that the old ones were battling Chaos for like a billion years, and that the Necrontyr were also around and even working with them apparently. But he's not quoting any sources/specific books. Is this actually true or is he just blowing air?

This isn't a youtuber I've watched like at all so I'm not sure how trustworthy his lore videos are

[dense salmon]

He's usually correct about lore but he interlaces popular memes into his analyses that can be misleading

The story he is referring to is Wild Rider

[arctic talon]

It’s from the ynnari books, it’s a bit off but close enough

[cloud grotto]

that's like

enormous retcons

I mean the whole reason the old ones were able to seed the galaxy is because the immaterium was a peaceful realm with no chaos and they could easily warp through it

[arctic talon]

Also the part that’s off was that it was eldar working with the necrons, not the old ones

Which is a pretty big thing

Which means there was a time post war in heaven where they interacted in a way that didn’t involve murdering each other

[cloud grotto]

The fact that they interacted post war in heaven in any way that involved necrons not being asleep makes no sense

I am going to move on and pretend this does not exist

[arctic talon]

Ask gav thrope

Lol

The entire ynnari series is being rewritten anyways

[rose thorn]

what do you think the % chance of codex zoats

they mentioned in the newest christman

episode

i mean

video fuck

i kinda, really really want it lol

[arctic talon]

Low

[rose thorn]

i love centaurs tbh lol

[arctic talon]

Like incredibly low lol

[rose thorn]

to be fair the squats meme became reality so

[arctic talon]

Zoats are way less relevant

[rose thorn]

yea but, lmao

[arctic talon]

Regarding popularity

[rose thorn]

fair

[spare osprey]

Running joke, been in like the past 3

[rose thorn]

heheeh

zoats

[spare osprey]

I like zoats

[rose thorn]

me too

[spare osprey]

Besides the fact they have more official minis than the fallen do

[arctic talon]

I like them more in fantasy

[rose thorn]

when i get the fuckin, leagues of votaan im probably proxy a zoat as something

[spare osprey]

The bloodbowl zoat is dope.

[rose thorn]

zoats old world when!

wait the fuckin

realy ugly beast minotaurs

[arctic talon]

Zoats are in wood elves

[rose thorn]

W

wha

[arctic talon]

Yes

[rose thorn]

really?

[arctic talon]

Zoats are wood elves related

Yeah

[rose thorn]

why???

[arctic talon]

Because

They live in forests

The same ones wood elves like

And they’re friendly enough to each other

[rose thorn]

is this bloodbowl lore or old world lore

[arctic talon]

But they’re not that closely connected beyond fighting alongside each other

[arctic talon]

Old world

[rose thorn]

[arctic talon]

What

Wood@elves aren’t that bad

[rose thorn]

i love wood elves

[arctic talon]

You get to be the most violently xenophobic faction in the setting

💀

[versed ledge]

Wood elves make the trees speak elvish

[rose thorn]

sidenote im so excited for aos wood elves

[versed ledge]

And everyone else panic

[rose thorn]

the like, one underworld team we have

Colonnade

[arctic talon]

As in wanderers right

[rose thorn]

woops

[arctic talon]

Like the uh

Actual elves

[rose thorn]

<333333

[crisp heath]

Aren't wood elves generally the weakest elves in fantasy literature? Idk much about AOS, just in general?

And are these basically AOS's version of exodites?

[rose thorn]

in aos the wood elves now are either tree spirits or have antlers

[crisp heath]

So... basically what all wood elves are, and a bit of cernunnos

[rose thorn]

which is way all the old elves were purged lol

[rose thorn]

yeah but, DEER MINOTUARS!!!

[arctic talon]

Ah yes wanderers

I love wanderers

[rose thorn]

arent they the coolist shit possible

[crisp heath]

@rose thorn that's what Cernunnos was...

[arctic talon]

Shame their creator hates them

Sorta

[crisp heath]

The Horned God

[arctic talon]

She forgave them at least heh

[rose thorn]

yae, probably in a year or two when cities get finished in 3.5 or 4th they should come back

dwarves and wood elves and dark elves need their armies or get proper aos models

[arctic talon]

Dark elves are getting an army

[rose thorn]

yee shadow aelves

[arctic talon]

They’ve been teasing Maliketh is up to something

Cities of sigmar is gona get more dwarf and elf stuff eventually I’m sure

[rose thorn]

definetly

[arctic talon]

No traditional esque dwarves as a faction is weird ngl

Then again the khadron are cool

[rose thorn]

there is micro hints at new dwarves

but i cant imagine they are deep in creation

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Tbh

I’m expecting chorfs

Before normal dwarfs

Mostly since they’re really hinting at chorfs recently in AoS

[rose thorn]

yea lol

[green loom]

We've got the foundation for dwarfs

[rose thorn]

they will most definetly will

[green loom]

With the Khazalid empire

Or former empire amywya

*anyway

[rose thorn]

i wonder how they will do a spin on classic dwarves will keeping them traditional

cant go too mechanized or else just Kharadons

[arctic talon]

I’d assume a big focus on artillery potentially

If they want a mono dwarf faction

[rose thorn]

yea

[arctic talon]

Cities of sigmar is Order soup anyways

They can take pretty much want when they want lol

[rose thorn]

i want the factions to work toegther again

[rocky gale]

I can't imagine another Dwarf faction, probably just additions to the Cities

[rose thorn]

in cities

[arctic talon]

Like the human dwarf elf split

Rn is pretty bad imo

[rocky gale]

There's already both the Kharadon and the Fyreslayers

[rose thorn]

to be fair the human elves are peek

[rose thorn]

its the 2 extremes of dwarves

[arctic talon]

We have 3 dif elf factions, 3 dwarf factions are fine

ESP since people really don’t like fyreslayers

[rose thorn]

we need a good middle ground

[arctic talon]

Give big artillery

[rocky gale]

Yea, it's why the default Dwarf is kinda an off add, because their two identities got split off into two factions on the opposite end

[arctic talon]

We could get something else entirely

[rose thorn]

hear me out, mad max dwarves

but fantasy

[arctic talon]

Realistically speaking I think any old world esque dwarfs, elfs or humans

Are gona be in cities of sigmar

[rose thorn]

giant cannons and cars

but fantasy

[arctic talon]

CoS are Ironicially too human focused rn

[rocky gale]

Yep, default Dwarves and Elves will all be on the Cities

[arctic talon]

Same with druchii and wood elves

Tbh

As in the fleshy side of wood elves

[rose thorn]

whats another species that needs aos rep

minotuars <333

waut

beasts

fuck

[arctic talon]

beastmen

[rose thorn]

lmao

[arctic talon]

Need some help

They’re busy stuck in hell

[rose thorn]

very

[arctic talon]

Resin hell

With some plastic

[rose thorn]

new beast models look amaizng the old ones look like a bee sting

idk if i want a furry race besides beatmen

it could be cool or really meh

[rocky gale]

Aren't a lot of the Skaven models quite old at this point?

[rose thorn]

yeah lmao

[arctic talon]

Skaven need an update

Super badly

They’re also in resin hell

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure most of the Skaven models are just the Fantasy ones with new bases

[arctic talon]

Non STD and god factions

Need love for chaos

They’re prolly up soon

[rose thorn]

my partner played old world and almost every one of her old world models are still in the gw store

[arctic talon]

Lol

This is a certified AoS moment

[crisp heath]

I'd love furry 40k and AoS factions, just for the rage they'd generate

[arctic talon]

AoS is funny as shit ngl for one reason

You see some of the most beautiful and modern sculpts ever

And to the other side you have this resin goblin that hasn’t been touched since 2001

[rose thorn]

i hope they go something unique, like elephants or something

[arctic talon]

Too similar to dnd

[crisp heath]

Eh I always play kitsune in pathfinder so my preference is known

[celest dome]

Rumoured to be the next big release iirc

[arctic talon]

They already have elephants with guns

[rose thorn]

no thats hippos

[arctic talon]

Fuck

You’re right

[rose thorn]

the elephants are hippies

or

was that the turtles

[arctic talon]

No

The turtles are the weird guys who like experiencing a ton of the world

[rose thorn]

oh yeah

[crisp heath]

In dnd the Loxodon are the elephant guys and they're best as spellcasters

[rose thorn]

tbh, i only play humans or half humans

[crisp heath]

I've never played human in any tabletop game with race options

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Humans are fun sometimes

But I mostly play elves heh

[rose thorn]

the average in teh realm of crazy

[arctic talon]

Or dwarfs

One or the other tbh

[crisp heath]

I just rolled up a Kalashtar

[rose thorn]

the least human race im playing is the snake people half bloods

[urban spire]

"in dnd" i hate that phrase

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH FUCKING SERAPHONS

those are scalies huh

[crisp heath]

Seraphon are scalies but they're good at it

[rose thorn]

yea

multi racial

[urban spire]

good at it?

[crisp heath]

They're good at being scaly

[arctic talon]

Dang

[rose thorn]

honestly a multi racial furry faction for disctrucion would be cool

[arctic talon]

Why’s that lol

I’m interested

Also ngl I play pathfinder more nowadays anyways tbh

[rose thorn]

soulblight is like 4 factions in one tbh, i dont think death needs too many new things atm

[crisp heath]

They just are. They're like angel guys now and still Aztec. Good at being scaly.

[urban spire]

so putting aside for a moment the fact that i hate dnd, describing something as being an essential part of dnd rather than something from a setting which is common to dnd is really um

[rose thorn]

i cant think of another pillar of death taht isnt filled

[urban spire]

prescriptive

[celest dome]

As in a new Death faction ?

[arctic talon]

Death is prolly the most complete faction

[rose thorn]

yea

[arctic talon]

Unless we want tomb king copy cats

[rose thorn]

which is kinda sad but eh

the bone reapers fill my love for skeletons <3

[urban spire]

i think it kinda sucks when D&D forces new shit into its settings so they can make everyone buy expensive new books

[rose thorn]

and so does so blight

[celest dome]

Easy one would be one themed around the Tomb King

[urban spire]

it also homogenizes the settings

[crisp heath]

I spent all of 5e waiting on a Dark Sun update

[rose thorn]

eh, maybe a warcry or under worlds team, but a whoel faction would feel redundant

[arctic talon]

Dark sun is never getting a 5e update lol

There’s 0 chance WOTC has the balls

[urban spire]

like warforged were unique to eberron, now they are everywhere

[rose thorn]

i just homebrew everything for dnd

[crisp heath]

Dark Sun is the best setting hands down

[urban spire]

they're in forgotten realms

[rose thorn]

i dont bother with the books

[crisp heath]

Tbf everyone was running Warforged in the realms anyway

[rose thorn]

same, but something cool but just fursona army

not just*

if its just a bunch of wolves in armor woudl be kinda disapointing

[celest dome]

Atm they have Ghouls, Skeletons (Ossiarch), Ghost and Vampire
I think there could be space for a more Frankenstein inspired faction

[urban spire]

i'd put it on the same level as planescape

which is to say very good

[celest dome]

Beastmen Fellgor Reaver

[rose thorn]

there is like, one Frankenstein thing in warcry which looks kinda cool ig?

[crisp heath]

Eh I don't like planescape, if I wanted to do planar stuff I'd go Spelljammer

[urban spire]

you don't run planescape for the planar stuff, you do it for sigil

[celest dome]

I remember that there was one in Blood Bowl

[crisp heath]

I don't like sigil

[urban spire]

too bad, it's still good

[rose thorn]

i lvoe the necrotic horrors so much

my favorite bloodbowl team

[urban spire]

that owns

[celest dome]

Wolf Dawg

Love his art

[rose thorn]

[urban spire]

what's it about

[rose thorn]

spears of the emperor

[rose thorn]

so, you know those historical ficton books thats a first person pov of nazi france

its basically that with admech and gsc

they hide the mutant children under the floorboards

and secret tunnels

[urban spire]

i don't, no

[rose thorn]

oh

well admech abducting children and extermintating mutants on a planet

with a guy who wants to use the gsc to take over

its really good

i cant remmeber how much it was but its cheaper then most audiobooks

and the ebook and physcial books are dirt cheap

[urban spire]

i might have a look

[warm notch]

You know, compared to Vermintide 2

Darktide has a severe lack of dual-wield weapons

I wonder what dual-wield weapons would be "in-universe" for our rejects

[celest dome]

Pretty much any would make "sense"

But like the easy to show would be Catachan Sword and Dagger

[vale fjord]

Who's above again? Caedo or Titus

[celest dome]

Titus I think, Caedo is a Sternguard, Titus a Veteran Captain

[rocky gale]

Titus isn't a Captain anymore, he's now a Lieutenant

[vale fjord]

Yeaaa

But I keep hearing of titus being a primaris now

Not sure to believe that

[rocky gale]

Yea he crossed the Rubicon

He's got an Intercessor helmet in the trailers

[vale fjord]

So that means he is a primaris now
