#

When should you use single shot over burst shot on a soldier?

rocky gale
#

When you're worried about shooting a teammate in the back of the head

green loom
dusk patrol
#

Less ammo

#

Less actions

#

Also as larmoth said it’s safer if you can’t or don’t have the ability which makes teammates automatically dodge your shots

green loom
#

Also you can just

#

Handle position if possible

#

*positioning

#

I always keep a 3 tile area clear Infront of Argenta

#

If possible

dusk patrol
#

Yeah Argenta and any others soldier are beasts at shredded the trash enemies

#

I bought a flamer from the traders at the starting location, and let me tell you, best purchase of my life

#

how come literally 0 games have figured out how to make the flamer not op and not dogshit

wintry scarab
#

In rogue trader, does anyone know if you can recustomize your trader's appearance?

green loom
#

Do you mean like swapping origins and stuff

wet sandal
#

you can change appearance too

wintry scarab
wet sandal
#

when you create your character

wintry scarab
wet sandal
#

that's what i'm saying though?

#

your trader is your character

#

btw if the mods decide to show up it was not my idea to turn 40k-lore-chat into literally-rogue-trader-chat

wintry scarab
wet sandal
#

that's what you shoud've asked then lol

#

idk

wintry scarab
#

Thats what i did ask lol

wet sandal
#

hmm, youre right

crisp heath
#

can anyone help me with modding this game?

#

Rogue Trader i mean

#

I cannot get this mod manager to work at all

#

I don't have an owlcatgames directory, it goes steamapps/common/warhammer 40000 rogue trader

wet sandal
#

surely you would be better off asking in the appropriate places

#

such as, you know, the rogue trader discord

dusk patrol
#

^

#

Wouldn’t be shocked if modding is a little funky too with the game being like

#

Two days old

rocky gale
#

There is a Steam mod manager for it, it just doesn't work right now, you'll have to either wait until it's patched or download a fix yourself

crisp heath
#

sad lass

tired summit
#

are ogryn psykers a thing

celest dome
#

Yes

tired summit
#

cuz I swear I remember some ogryn psyker in a book

celest dome
#

Both natural (cassia)
And artificial (Necromunda\Slaught)

#

That was Cassia

tired summit
#

what book where they in?

celest dome
#

Prophet of the Waagh iirc

tired summit
#

ohhhh yeah

#

I should reread that

crisp heath
#

What's the gun necrons use

#

That can basically kill anything

storm jungle
#

Gauss is the main Necron firearm

dusk patrol
velvet imp
#

best part of this game is that you can go with any backstory you want to make up and it still will be canon due to the nature of Worlds that only recently join the Imperium due to only recently being conquested or stick to the more advertised Imperium worlds

#

The worlds that have not been discovered by the imperium yet or only recently joined have different cultures and it ranges to many types of theme

#

from cyberpunk like, modern world like, more fantasy theme, ancient civilization, and etc

inland sigil
#

Oh do you dislike Ridiculous?

velvet imp
#

of course the only recently joined ones are slowly going through the process of becoming more Imperium but that may take centuries

inland sigil
#

Did not expect that, honestly they are my main source for 40k lore lol

storm jungle
#

oof bad source KEKW_ogryn

inland sigil
#

Theres another, very similar to ridiculous with two people, one being a noob aswell but yeah I mostly just listen to ridiculous when going to school or to my hema lessons.
I like the general overview and ease of access they give to factions and whatever

#

Honestly I enjoy their podcasts alot lol

velvet imp
#

that is mostly how Assassin characters work in most RPG

#

High damage rate but low on Defense and HP which is why they tend to depend on dodge more and tanks taunting enemies

storm jungle
#

Adelard is an Ex-Navy admiral

inland sigil
#

I think Majorkill is fun too, but his videos are way too short and I dont have the energy to find a new vid every few minutes lol

green loom
#

Abelard does two things

#

He unga

#

He bunga

inland sigil
green loom
spring cairn
#

doesn't this kind of lasgun needs to be plugged into a batterypack

green loom
#

I have it turned off to hide the cape

river timber
#

Tho tbf some of the 40K lore he covers, like, barely exists so it is understandable that some of his videos are short

inland sigil
#

yeah I mean I am not criticizing it.
I still watch him, but short form lore is just not viable for me when I try to prepare for fencing or sit in a bus.

#

Overall his content is great

river timber
#

Yeah, that's where I go to Adeptus Ridiculous for stuff if I am not looking for something specific

dusk patrol
#

Abelard plays more like a fucking Eversor tbh if we’re picking an assassin. Dude may be prim and proper but he’s a fucking monster on the battlefield.

crisp heath
#

It can pierce a hole through a dreadnought

dusk patrol
#

You better be about to say a funny

storm jungle

storm jungle

its literally an atomic vaporizer

crisp heath

#

If we’re taking pierce

crisp heath
#

Thanks

dusk patrol
#

But that can pierce like

#

Titans

storm jungle
#

Yeah i think they got it mixed up

dusk patrol
#

It’s just a “fuck you” gun

crisp heath
normal light
#

Yeah, Gauss would just like deatomize dread

storm jungle
#

Yeah its why i was confused

dusk patrol
#

Eventually

inland sigil
storm jungle
#

gauss can literally kill tanks

#

and like

#

most material tbh

#

you cant exactly resist against de-atomization

#

💀

crisp heath
#

Just melt

dusk patrol
#

It needs more concentration to properly work against bigger targets which is why bigger gauss weapons exist

storm jungle
#

well "melt"

#

💀

normal light
#

My homies have no atoms so they are protected, wait, they don’t exist staregryn

dusk patrol
#

You can see how it works pretty well in the 9e trailer

storm jungle

lmao

shoutout to that one background marine who gets hit in the fucking gut and just dies instantly

#

I low how in KT most of Necrons gausses just straight up kills almost every humanoid human size

Abelard is the best

Mfw some lowly bred curr doesn’t know the newly instated Rogue Trader who didn’t even know he was part of this dynasty a day ago on sight

river timber
#

My favorite thing to do in an SS13 40K server is just play the Rogue Trader and act like a pompous prick to everyone

dusk patrol
#

Being the Rogue Trader in a RT rpg is fun if the other players are down for it

river timber
#

And they can't do shit because I have everything to fuel their vices and uprisings

river timber
#

I just need to convince my TTRPG group to run it

dusk patrol
#

It’s really fun

#

I mostly played a Magos or Mekboy Ork

#

But I did have one game where I played a RT and it was kinda like that

#

Our Arch-Militant would carry me over dirty streets and stuff

river timber
#

I kinda miss the RT owning the colony on the 40K server, because being part of the guardsman retinue was also fun

#

Just being the expendable muscle they would throw at everything

normal light
#

Ah yes, casual Guardsmen sentry gaming DT_wat

river timber
#

Indeed

normal light
#

Worker uprising

#

How pitiful

#

OVERCHARGES LAS GUN

river timber
#

I'd play a Krieger so it was a lot of mask staring at people

normal light
#

Nah Krieger’s are 50/50

river timber
#

I put a number in my name and respected the lore

normal light
#

Mostly because lots of stupid memes

river timber
#

I also made an effort to learn trenching

normal light
#

Also yeah to compare them with Cadians they are somewhat humane

river timber
#

Hell, I added most of the krieg drip and the grenadier into the server

normal light
#

💀

river timber
#

Lmfao oof

#

Sounds about right

normal light
#

whatthefuck_heresy Also Kriegers protective gear makes sense

river timber
#

Cadians are either straight up incompetent new guys or dudes who will fly off the handle at a moments notice

normal light
#

I am talking about helmets and pauldrons

river timber
#

Ye

normal light
#

Cause like they are light carapace

#

And protect only parts of body that are exposed from trench

river timber
#

Artillery shrapnel does affect the head and shoulders the most

#

Cuz artillery will explode at head level basically

storm jungle
#

You are expecting GW to know this stuff

river timber
#

Oh I know the lore is all over the place

#

Always has been

storm jungle
#

its less "all over"

#

its more that the writers got no idea how IRL military stuff works

river timber
#

But the dude who was making Imperial Armour wasn't super off the mark when setting up the DK of Krieg

dusk patrol
#

Cadians are like the gold standard often

#

For basic IG troops

river timber
dusk patrol
#

Oh

#

lol nvm

river timber
#

Ye

#

In lore they are great

#

Cadia stood

#

(past tense)

dusk patrol
#

Makes more sense

river timber
#

Ye

normal light
river timber
#

The SS13 server is a roleplay thing so the Cadians act as a magnet to dudes who are new but know just a little about 40K

river timber
#

As the era of Krieg is now here

normal light
river timber
#

Lmao, fair

#

Underappreciated

#

I like the regiments that use Cadian gear but aren't Cadians

normal light
river timber
#

Their doctrine did but their doctrine is, like, the generic

#

Good artillery, emphasis on mechanized troops, integrated armor support

storm jungle
#

as in IRL

#

Generic works

river timber
#

Yeah

#

Tho

storm jungle
#

as long as it works no need to replace it

#

mostly

normal light
#

Imperial Navy Breachers have Kamikaze Servo-Skulls

river timber
#

Irl we don't use SPAA but the air side of 40K has always been weird

normal light
#

Called “Navy Man Last Laugh”

normal light
river timber
#

What I like about DKoK is that they aren't entirely outdated either with their doctrine

#

And it makes sense for where they often end up

storm jungle
#

Krieg's way of warfare is extremely outdated.

#

they are sent to places where their doctrine will work

normal light
river timber
#

Not really. Entrenchment never went away

storm jungle
storm jungle
normal light
#

Trench are my bellowed

storm jungle
#

trenches are useless when your enemies can use anything to bypass / kill everyone in it

normal light
river timber
#

The reason why we didn't see trenches used as much in the middle half of the 20th century was either because the terrain was unfavorable or because tech hadn't come far enough to make tanks the end all be all

storm jungle
#

💀

storm jungle
#

Trench Warfare is and always was needless and stupid.

#

It works to a point until it doesnt.

normal light
river timber
storm jungle
#

Krieg barely got any gains in that campaign

#

every time they did was due to outside factors

normal light
#

Also yeah, you will use trenches

#

Maybe not full lines

river timber
#

Referring to Vraks?

normal light
#

Like WW1

storm jungle
#

Yes.

#

Vraks is the biggest showcase of trench warfare in 40k

river timber
#

Because I'm referring to the overall, not just Vraks

#

And Vraks was a siege, so no duh

normal light
#

But like isolated entrenched positions

normal light
river timber
#

Which, just a reminder, Krieg took most of the actual planet quickly. It was the hive city that was an issue

storm jungle
#

Overall is the same, Krieg get sent to siege stuff because its what their thing is. If you put them in any other combat zone they are usually just useless since its not their specialty.

storm jungle
#

it was literally just the bastion

#

its where all the armies went to focus on

normal light
river timber
storm jungle
#

Khorne berserkers show up and oh no

#

we got nowhere to run in this trenchline

#

i guess we'll all get slaughtered

#

Its the same with sending human waves to capture opposing trenches too.

#

Just useless waste of life.

river timber
storm jungle
#

Aka one of the most pointless conflicts in human history.

river timber
#

Those guys had plot armor, simple as

normal light
storm jungle
#

Nah, the Imperium is just stupid.

river timber
#

And that's not how WWI went

storm jungle
#

It more or less did.

#

Artillery, soften target up, rush across no mans land, get gunned down

#

Or make it to the other trench, take over, repeat.

#

Again, horrible waste of life. Pointless.

normal light
#

It’s all you left with

storm jungle
#

Pretty much.

#

WW1 is horrific for a reason.

river timber
#

That wasn't an issue with trench warfare, that was an issue with breakthrough tactics

normal light
normal light
#

Armed with heavy weapons

river timber
#

Which the Krieg don't really fall victim to because unlike the forces of WWI, they actually have armor and air power

normal light
#

Covering their sectors of fire

river timber
normal light
#

Covering the holes in defences

river timber
#

In WWII, things changed because air power was realized as a means of actually creating weak points, rather than the only option being either indirect fire or trundling a heavy tank formation through the enemy

normal light
#

Cause like in 40K you don’t really need full size trench line going both ways for thousand of kilometres

#

You just need strong point

#

Enough heavy weaponry on it and that’s all

river timber
#

Yep

normal light
#

You just basically cut off places where to advance for your enemy via

#

Range of your multi-lasers, heavy bolters

#

Las Cannons

#

And such

river timber
#

That's why I don't see Krieg as fighting ineffectively, because they do have armor and air power to force the enemy to fight where it'd be shittiest for them. The doctrine utilizes cavalry (not just horsies) to skirmish and lock down enemy formations with blocking attacks for foot mobiles to setup proper positions

green loom
#

Maybe if they have an armour regiment with them

river timber
#

They do have access to armor

green loom
#

And if the aeronautica feels like helping them

river timber
#

They even have baneblades for whatever reason

green loom
#

Yeah but
Not every regiment is the same

#

There's ones with armour, with inf, ones with both, ones with artillery

normal light
#

Yeah, genius strategy when you leave regiment with only one type of stuff

green loom
#

It's not really you leaving them

river timber
#

I mean, they have the capability of deploying multiple regiments to one place

#

They literally are known for shitting out regiments like that

green loom
#

Imperial beaurocracy just loves throwing around people randomly

normal light
#

💀

green loom
#

Sure if everything goes right you'll have a cohesive Krieger battle group with the whole nine yards

river timber
#

But, that's what happens

#

The Dask Campaign literally had 4 regiments deployed

normal light
#

I wonder how light infantry regiment deals with new Baneblade supply

green loom
arctic talon
#

Also kriegs specialty is siege warfare not trench warfare

#

🤓

#

generally speaking

green loom
#

You can tell because of their "glorious" track record

normal light
#

I am joking

arctic talon
normal light
arctic talon
#

YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE TRUTH

river timber
arctic talon
#

digging trenches is not what they regularly do

river timber
#

That's why I was talking about 'entrenched troops' rather than 'trench warfare'

river timber
# green loom One of thousands

I mean, out of the multiple named campaigns, several of them are in this 3-4 group style deployment so it is safe to assume a good chunk are designed that way

Tbh

#

its a killteam

those guys are ballin

That why I opt for Blooded (Traitor Guard)

Besides they have bayonets for melee

A shovel isn't doing much to an ork lol

And

No duh, I just find it funny how it coincidentally lacks everything memed about Krieg

lol

#

Well

#

there is a shovel on the demo guys backpack lol

rocky gale
#

It had gasmask noises

normal light
#

Well they are good without it

arctic talon
#

or I guess an entrenching tool

normal light
#

Also yeah

river timber
normal light
#

Veteran Guardsman are the largest kill team

#

Usually

#

And they can be not kriegers

river timber
arctic talon
#

veteran guardsmen is the second biggest killteam

normal light
#

You could just swap minis for whom you want them to be

arctic talon
#

first place goes to nids if you go double gaunts

#

or normal guardsmen

normal light
#

Ah yes

#

Compendium ones

arctic talon
#

but if you go double gaunts you're stupid ngl

normal light
#

💀let’s not talk about compendium

#

They are strange abominations of their former self

#

By that I mean of original Kill Teams

#

Except for Nids

#

Cause they didn’t have one

Going a bit more in perception skill in Rogue trader really helps in my personal choice playthrough. My Rogue Trader can easily spot lies and a person's behavior for clues

trench warfare is just seige warfare but more modern

Darktide concept art

unless you want to go Heretical playthrough

crisp heath
#

Finally started playing without my mods T-T

#

Is there a way to ||get Cassia to come willingly/with the consent of the House|| because honestly I just started blasting as soon as I arrived

rocky gale
#

You can still get her after doing that

crisp heath
#

Oh no trust me I got her

queen laurel
#

After I have done what Falek told me to do

#

i proceeded to shoot him and just grab cassia peacefully

crisp heath
#

I was asking for a navigator, not permission

winged jacinth
#

i googled darktide psyker concept art and within 10 results was a fanart with huge breasts

queen laurel
#

did you just take her?

crisp heath
#

I mean

rocky gale
#

||I killed Falek instantly, made the Rod and then just walked up to her and talked nicely then she came with me no problem.||

crisp heath
#

There wasn't anyone to stop me by the time I got to her

#

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be able to get a rod off a body but it didn't work for some reason

#

I think it's was actually Feleks' rod?

queen laurel
#

i had to see what he wanted to do he speaks a little rough on the edges

#

And then I decided to unload a couple of rounds and a melee weapon directly to his skull

crisp heath
#

I want to do the puzzle right but I'll give it another crack when I get my mods

#

I must have missed a note or something

#

I'm basically considering this playthrough a dry run for when I really play the game

green loom
crisp heath
#

Oh I didn't know there was a dude in front of the elevator

#

He must have died before I really noticed him

queen laurel
#

You can gather some things to make negotiation easier or a new weapon

#

My rogue trader got a Thunder hammer this way

crisp heath
#

Do you still get to loot the place if you do things peacefully

#

My goal in the first part of the game is to convert as many lives as possible into profit for a strong start

queen laurel
#

And yes I'm pretty sure you can still loot the place

storm jungle
#

he does good shit

velvet imp
#

That aside and speaking of companions....

#

Pasqal is just a must have companion

#

his unique story events as a Tech priests helps greatly with repairing machines and his armor he has when starting out is so useful with it's passive to boost armor based on Tech skill that you'll never need to replace his armor unless you find a better version of it.

#

Main Character does not get the special ability to fully repair machines so without Pasqal, you'll spend most of the time depending on your logic and tech skill to tell you which unreadable machine option is the right one

crisp heath
#

Is Pasqal a better tank than Abe

velvet imp
crisp heath
#

My tech skill is probably overkill so I don't really need him for that

queen laurel
velvet imp
#

Abe is just a natural tank

#

though I am not certain if you may lose him if you go Heretical route

rocky gale
#

Did someone @ me?

velvet imp
#

since he is a Imperium character

queen laurel
#

Pas is incredibly good at being able to not only debuff the enemies but also provide your backline with some support fire thanks to his ability to carry two handed weapons no problem

crisp heath
#

I don't need a tech guy or a negotiator, I need good fighters

velvet imp
crisp heath
#

My trader is the tech gal

#

I'm not even out of the first area and I think my tech skill is 65 rn

queen laurel
#

i'm the one who is in the frontline and bashing skulls

velvet imp
crisp heath
#

She just ended up being built that way tbh, I wanted a forge world character and they have a trait that means they can solve most problems by dumping points into INT

velvet imp
#

Pas can also be a good Plasma Rifle sharpshooter as well

#

he has alot of potential to be a offensive DPS Debuffer due to his high armor thanks to his armor passive for more armor with more tech skill

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

I put my points into INT, AGI, and ballistics so my rogue trader is the skill monkey and the shooter

velvet imp
#

not to mention Pas has Forge world skills which means his can get the passive to convert Plasma, Melta, and Power weapons damage with INT stats

#

then later get Know it all passive as a exemplar to gain a massive DPS and Defense boost since it converts INT stats to provide armor, ignore armor, crit chance, crit damage, hit chance, and dodge rate.

queen laurel
#

At least I can handle the strength work

velvet imp
crisp heath
#

Yeah I think I'm my party's Pasqal staregryn

queen laurel
#

He is also good at parrying stuff

#

He can take a punch from a forge fiend and keep going

crisp heath
#

I gave Abe the trinket that makes you tougher if you're dumb

queen laurel
#

and i can also lay down some suppressive fire at least with this Lovely thing

#

I don't really need to be good at Ballistics if I can just pull the trigger and aim at the general direction now do I

crisp heath
#

I hope I get to uh

#

Dismiss

#

The inquisition later

velvet imp
#

He has yet to determine what kind of Inquisitor he will become yet

crisp heath
#

No I want the Lord Inquisitor to have an accident

velvet imp
#

well as they say "Always expect a inquisitor to make things worse"

crisp heath
#

I can't have a higher authority just running around in my trade empire

#

It's unbecoming

velvet imp
crisp heath
#

What God doesn't know won't hurt him

velvet imp
#

It is why we always read the fine print

crisp heath
#

I want to play the loyal moralities, but if I have to dip into hereticus a bit to secure my totalitarian regime, well, that's how the cookie crumbles

#

Also yo I was not expecting the warrant of trade to be so large. Like, I know emps was a big dude, but come on guys

#

My rules are simple: Cassia and Argenta get everything they ask for, and so do I

velvet imp
#

I honestly can imagine the Emperor just sitting in his room think about the long list of rules he needs to write in it while hand writing the original first warrant of trade just to make certain it does not always back fire.

crisp heath
#

So I’m wondering. If some doom guy type being was unleashed into the warp and was solely tasked with killing all the demons inside, could they? Like if you beat some changer of ways head in with his own book in the warp do they stay down for good?

dusk patrol
#

Not unless they have some macguffin bullshit which lets them

crisp heath
#

Chaos always be on they bullshit smh

#

Does doom guy count as a name

#

But that's basically what Kal Drago or whatever does tbh

storm jungle
#

in his case his suit literally absorbs the souls of the stuff he kills, so true deaths for everyone

storm jungle
#

Revampled Doom lore is more metal than 40k at times thats all ill say lol

#

And its still not as wanky as most 40k lore trust me

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Kaldor Draigo, about the entire Primarch cast, the Emperor, etc

#

Doomguy just resonates with people more because he's basically at the end of the day a man fighting against immeasurable odds.

#

Hes great.

#

I do love how when he gets locked up in the final DLC, the priests go

#

"May we never need you again."

#

metal as hell

What is the darkest thing in 40k lore

#

I think I just heard the worst but I wanna know what other people think

queen laurel
#

@storm jungle Yo Dilara pull out the books

#

Someone wants to know

storm jungle
#

aka the most unoriginal thing ever in 40k

crisp heath
storm jungle
#

Yeah guessed it

crisp heath
storm jungle
#

Pretty much

#

it gets repeated a lot when theres a lot worse things in the lore

crisp heath
#

And I thought being a servitor was bad

queen laurel
#

Fortunately for you it gets pretty much darker than that

crisp heath
#

Yay

#

I'm just saying

#

We should probably check on the mental state of whoever wrote that

storm jungle

Okay random one since its so grimdark its funny; the Imperium has industrial grade furnaces to incinerate newborns if they are found to have mutations, which, may I add, may include stuff as basic as just being too pale

Closest thing you'll get to "actually Doomguy" in 40k is Tuska Daemonkilla

He led a waaaagh! into Khornes realm and Khorne basically keeps him as a pet and keeps him in a neverending gladiator match with daemons (which hypothetically means he's fuckin huge now)

yeah, let's start a galaxy wide war with every race involved. that's the perfect plan to stop chaos which came to be a problem because of a galaxy wide war with every race involved.

humanity reaped what it sowed with the men of iron

#

intelligent and self aware machines seem to mainly hate their creators when their creators treat them as disposable garbage

tulip brook
#

I rather dismiss a bad fan theory as a bad fan theory

urban spire
#

factions that treat their AI with respect seem to have better working relationships with them

#

the obvious example is the votann, but to break kayfabe a little with the mechanicus, the AI they revere as machine spirits don't go on omnicidal rampages

celest dome
#

If we don't treat our AI as pets or friends why even make them

urban spire
#

we have to love our creations if we want them to love us back

#

i wonder if there's some sort of lesson to be learned there

#

probably not

#

anyway back to making pipe bombs

#

they made them too good multipurpose swiss knives and now they just mutilate humans to make them focus a single task. less complicated, less dangerous. and we say imperium doesn't learn from their mistakes

well that all happened before the imperium

some colonies figuring out how to coexist with ai make it seem like imperium suffered from the revolt a bit more than a few others

is it normal for a single tech-priest/technoarcheologist such as Hadron to be given this much responsibility in the Imperium? given that Hadron oversees all weapon modification/maintenance rituals for all operatives, documents all debriefing reports, is solely responsible for the data interrogation aspect of missions - including those headed by her colleagues - and further undertakes to spearhead missions with herself at the helm of operations.

I'm gonna sound stupid if im wrong but could old box Dreadnoughts have there weapons changed?

#

Is it a bad idea for a psyker to be an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus?

dusk patrol
#

I mean it’s probably gonna end in a terrible death

#

Ordo Malleus sucks to be in

#

But no

#

They probably have the most psykers

crisp heath
#

Interesting

dusk patrol
#

Force weapons, kine shields, and wards are good against daemons

#

But if I had to pick Ordo Malleus is by far the worst one to join.

#

All of them can suck

#

All of them can encounter daemons

#

But Malleus basically only shows up for major warp events

crisp heath
#

Is the amount of players the OM has due to the grey knights?

dusk patrol
#

So to be clear I don’t think we know they have more

#

Just what we tend to see them be psykers

#

But Inquisitors have a higher rate of psykers than most orgs already

#

That being said, it’s more for the same reason

#

Psykers trained properly can do well against daemons

crisp heath
#

I see

crisp heath
dusk patrol
#

They could but typically they’re more “balls to the wall” kinda dudes

#

Hereticus and Xenos tend to be more subtle

#

Although it all varies of course

#

They’re massive organizations with vastly different factions within

storm jungle
#

Inquisitors were made with an RPG mindset in mind ala D&D

#

anything you think is sensible for them to do, they can do it

#

its why they got so much freedom, its half the reason for homebrew and game scenarios

rocky gale
#

Never forget that the first named Inquisitor in 40k was called Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau

celest dome
#

Was he the 1st ?

storm jungle
#

Yes he was

#

WAY back in the day

rocky gale
#

Not the first Inquisitor in like the canon history, but the first named Inquisitor they wrote about in the OG Rogue Trader book in the 80s

storm jungle
#

yeeee

warm notch
storm jungle
#

Lmao yeah

spring cairn
#

dressed like the cliche neckbeard archetype

#

very goofy

tame birch
#

who would win a halo spartan or a space marine

storm jungle
#

Yes.

arctic talon
#

in what context

storm jungle
#

next question

tame birch
#

1v1

arctic talon
#

also yeah it could go either way lol

#

TLDR what the writer wants

tame birch
#

true...

storm jungle
#

to quote the great Stan Lee

#

Ignore the last part

#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

like if they're both completely naked the Marine would argaubly have an advantage

tame birch
#

its not a bone headed question

arctic talon
#

I mean

#

it is

tame birch
#

like for example a space marine would demolish doom slayer

arctic talon
#

different settings

#

Different scales

storm jungle
tame birch
#

why does that matter

#

put them in an arena and make them fight

arctic talon
#

because power scaling is dif between settings

storm jungle
#

^

#

its a silly question

arctic talon
#

power scaling is poison on the mind

#

there's so many factors to this

#

it could realistically go either way

winged jacinth
#

In physical abilities space marines have more and their armor provides more ability, but the fight is a gunfight and masterchief has a shield of nebulous power

tame birch
arctic talon
#

halo shields good enough to block plasma in lore

#

as in halo plasma

tame birch
#

think about the kind of things space marines are expected to fight and win against in small companies of like 50 dudes

storm jungle
tame birch
#

duh

winged jacinth
#

Doom slayer is a Saitama type character

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

which is arguably as destructive as Plasma in 40k

#

compared to in game where the halo plasma pistol tickles you lol

storm jungle
#

^

#

Covenant weapons are fucked up

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

This is like asking who would win One Punch man or [insert character here].

Saitama is literally the parody of a Mary Sue Protagonist, he wins every time.

arctic talon
#

a brutes favorite

winged jacinth
#

The doom guy is just a guy with guns who's angry though

storm jungle
#

Yep.

#

Also hes written to be virtually unbeatable.

#

again, Stan Lee's quote remains absolute lol

winged jacinth
#

YOU ARE HUEG

storm jungle
#

HUGE MEANS

#

BIG GUTS

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

tbh they just tickle everyone

storm jungle
#

yeah its gameplay =/= lore

arctic talon
#

but lore accurate halo would be bullshit to play lol

spring cairn
#

what kind of goofy plasma is that

winged jacinth
#

I think i conflate "YOU ARE HUGE THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS" with "XBOX HUEG" for some reason

arctic talon
#

faster plasma, it hurts like 10x more

storm jungle
#

For example Grunts are basically useless in gameplay.

Lore grunts meanwhile literally tear into UNSC marines with their hands

#

💀

arctic talon
#

Halo reach grunts

storm jungle
#

Grunts are fucking horrifying

#

they are like miniature skitarii in packs of 20

arctic talon
#

halo reach and infinite still the only halo games where the enemy is remotely dangerous lol

spring cairn
#

imagine dying to something that sounds like a toy

arctic talon
#

excluding literal balancing issues

#

like Halo 2

winged jacinth
#

The halo novels are like a fun microcosm of the black library

arctic talon
#

where the AI isn't smart, everything just does 10 morbillion damage lol

tame birch
#

space marine would win against a spartan

storm jungle
#

It depends.

#

theres no contest.

tame birch
#

just saying

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

what are they armed with

storm jungle
#

theres no absolute

winged jacinth
#

Can space marines tank a spartan laser? Who knows?

arctic talon
#

no

#

like

#

I highly doubt it

#

that shit is basicially a melta on crack lol

arctic talon
#

funny eldar rifle

winged jacinth
#

I haven't played halo since 4 came out did the laser one shot scorpions?

arctic talon
#

like if you give the Spartan an AR and the Marine a boltgun the marins prolly gona win

tame birch
#

actually theyre equal

spring cairn
#

surely going to win

arctic talon
winged jacinth
#

Elephant supremacy

storm jungle
#

Spartans are also basically Tempestus Scions with diet space space marine treatment.

tame birch
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

Even worse parental issues KEKsplode

winged jacinth
#

Master chief can flip the elephant he's clearly unimaginably strong

spring cairn
dusk patrol
tame birch
#

space marines still get gunned down by bolter fire

dusk patrol
#

You know

tame birch
#

spartans have energy shields

dusk patrol
#

If you were a real not fake fan

storm jungle
#

Space Marines die to a lot of shit

#

its funny

tame birch
#

theyve tanked hits from sentinel beams

dusk patrol
#

You’d know MC never can flip an elephant

#

Other Spartans in MP do

#

So there

storm jungle
#

MP Spartans are wack 💀

rocky gale
#

The better question is, who could chug more milk a Spartan or a Space Marine?

arctic talon
#

Space marine

#

they have a third lung

dusk patrol
#

Space marines have absurd tolerances

arctic talon
#

they can breath the milk

tame birch
#

yeah space marines

winged jacinth
dusk patrol
#

They’d win a lot of drinking contests

tame birch
#

space marines biologically have an advantage over spartans

storm jungle
#

Kinda

arctic talon
#

Spartans are also immune to alcohol poisoning

storm jungle
#

most space marines organs are mostly useless

arctic talon
#

as far as we know lol

storm jungle
#

remember how they can spit acid

#

but they barely use this

#

unless the author remembers

dusk patrol
#

That’s for breaking down food mostly

storm jungle
#

Nah

dusk patrol
#

The acid is a nice bonus

storm jungle
#

it can be used for a lot of stuff

#

like breaking out of prison staregryn

dusk patrol
#

The acid spit is just the most obvious example and it sounds cooler

rocky gale
#

TBH if I was a BL author I would not include that fact even if I remembered it

winged jacinth
dusk patrol
#

They’re mostly there for redundancy anyways

storm jungle
#

I also remember uhhh

arctic talon
#

Isn't the acid spit mostly for blinding people

#

anyways lol

storm jungle
#

one doctor making a realistic looking space marine right

#

and hes like

#

"Oh he has acid spit?"

arctic talon
#

its like a last resort

storm jungle
#

"Yeah his mouth is gonna look melted"1

#

LMAO

dusk patrol
winged jacinth
#

Space marines can eat peoples brains to learn knowledge

storm jungle
#

And the final sketch of the marine's jaw looks like a fucking spitter from L4D2

dusk patrol
#

But they can’t keep the acid spit in for long or else obviously it’s not fun

arctic talon
#

is it actually super acidic

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

it is

dusk patrol
#

Which is why it’s activated in short bursts

storm jungle
#

It can melt people's face slightly or even kill them with the right trajectory

arctic talon
#

thats

#

not saying a lot

storm jungle
#

LMAO

winged jacinth
#

Scifi Writers Dont Understand Acid

dusk patrol
#

It’s not designed to be in their mouths for extended periods of time

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

ITS ACID

#

NO SHIT

dusk patrol
#

Well yeah but it’s like how we have stomach acid which fucks up our insides

#

But it’s designed to work for our body

storm jungle
#

you expect authors to understand this fact 💀

winged jacinth
#

Presumably the organ has a mucosal system that's not large enough to keep up when active and full

dusk patrol
#

The funny thing is the layout and idea for basically all the organs hasn’t changed much at all since marines first introduction

dusk patrol
winged jacinth
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

yeah because 40k writers dont know how biology works

#

like

#

they just have these because it sound scool

#

lmao

outer wave
#

40k doesnt understand how evolution works or biology in general

outer wave
#

Have you seen Ogryns?

arctic talon
#

science fantasy™️

dusk patrol
#

I mean if you have goofy biotech ability like the Imperium has it’s not really that silly, obviously you have to hand wave some stuff but, it makes sense for its purpose

#

Like yeah it’s not realistic

storm jungle
#

its silly

#

its why its there

#

its funny KEKW_ogryn

winged jacinth
#

In earlier editions high gravity made both ogryns and squats

storm jungle
# outer wave Have you seen Ogryns?

Or how Catachan are suppose to be the "apex" of human evolution in a normal sense when gigachad muscle structure has nothing to do with being a peak hunter

#

if you want that look at some of the modern tribes of African people who are long na'vi looking folks

outer wave
storm jungle
#

Sort of

winged jacinth
#

The optimal, most evolved human in 40k is a psyker ogryn

outer wave
#

But itd probably best to have a better aerobic/anaerobic muscle adaption where fight or flight works more efficiently with less moments of tiredness

storm jungle
#

shut up Kraven the Hunter apologist I don't wanna hear it

outer wave
#

Long distance running for hunting and running from predators is likely the best thing for Catachan

winged jacinth
#

You could spec-evolve the acid gland in an animal pretty easy i think? They would always keep it full like a little stomach for defense

outer wave
#

So bigger veins/arteries for pumping blood

#

Skinnier but stronger leg muscles

winged jacinth
#

It would basically be a secondary stomach with a mucous lining that develops a pore

#

That's all you really need

#

You could even use it for predigestion

storm jungle
#

Also unrelated but

#

was playing L4D2, some of my teammates grabbed laser sights

#

I see this thing poking from my side

and my Darktide PTSD kicked in

dire apex
dusk patrol
#

I used to say to friends he has a bet with BL authors that he can use each organ or have it mentioned in a book

crisp heath
#

Yeah but the acid gland is brought up super early so that later in the book ||when Amadeus is critically injured he can keep burning himself with his own drool because he can't close his mouth, and they need serfs with metal augmetics to clean his face and chest or he'll dissolve himself||

Ambessa was just 💀

to be fair since we are talking in the context of fantasy, function and diversity are secondary behind aesthetic appeal

like Mei in Overwatch is a short chubby chinese girl instead of a supermodel and people go nuts over her

people forget a lot that they are more or less auxillary-slave soldiers lol

outer wave

Not to mention their child-like innocence and intelligence

dusk patrol
#

It’s still pretty brutal but it does fit the bill for what Ogryns are good at often and often they are well liked by the regiment they’re with because they’re useful as fuck

#

But it’s basically child soldiers

#

So idk, it’s better than a lot of alternatives for Ogryns but it’s still fucked obviously

outer wave
#

They at least can make friends with their fellow soldiers

#

And its not a completely isolating existence

dusk patrol
#

Commissars consider Ogryn duty to be easy mode since they’re fairly easy to lead

#

And they consider you VIP number one

crisp heath
#

Do you think the ratlings sometimes get under the ogryns feet like a cat and the ogryn steps on their foot and then picks up the ratling and gives him kisses and apologies like they accidentally hurt a kitten

I love how enslaving incredibly powerful beings bc they're just too dumb and wholesome to know any better can unironically be argued as an overarching theme of 40k

yeah they are literally indoctrinated you dumbass
