[pine wedge]

being into medieval or ww2 history is, unfortunately, 100% comorbid with severe mental illness

[storm jungle]

OOF

[green loom]

Here's your stahlhelm, we have scheißposting to do

[queen laurel]

WAT IN GORK'Z NAME IZ YOU'Z YAPPIN ABOUT

[green loom]

I should probably rephrase

Since scheißposting is specifically anti wehraboo stuff

Ok I bothered watching the majorkill vidoe

[queen laurel]

may Gork and Mork cleanse your soul

[green loom]

I shit you not

One of his complaints is that Wes

Made a video

That he was planning to make

And this is a problem

[queen laurel]

doesn't he know that there are like multiple channels that do the same thing he does

[green loom]

Yes!

[lavish quarry]

heretic

[storm jungle]

Loken shoulda played more TF2

[lavish quarry]

whoa

too soon

[storm jungle]

I'm just saying

[lavish quarry]

lorgar still remains a bitch

[thorn zenith]

What TF2 Class would each Primarch main

[queen laurel]

Russ would be a soldier

[placid locust]

Rogal Dorn is definitely an engineer main

[crisp heath]

can you even imagine what Dorn could accomplish in minecraft

[green loom]

Yeah I've seen buildtubers

[queen laurel]

shit an accurate recreation of Terra

no problem

[crisp heath]

hang on better counter joke to my own joke

Dorn sucks at minecraft because he is designed to build things in a world where physics actually apply. he builds a very pixelated and left-shifted sistine chapel.

Guilliman would be good at minecraft. Kurze would be good at rimworld.

[thorn zenith]

id imagine Guilliman treating Minecraft as retirement simulator

build a nice house in a nice place, have a little farm, and go fishing in the sunset

[rocky gale]

Perturabo made Minecraft specifically to annoy Dorn

[queen laurel]

The emperor will play stellaris and ruin his empire on turn 1

And if he somehow gets to the late game

He will use the Super weapon to destroy planets to lower the lag

[thorn zenith]

that is somehow incredibly funny

big E booting up the game with a cocksure grin on his face only for his empire to go kaput in the first turn

[crystal forum]

this is the plot of a TTS episode

[thick cedar]

Darktide is likely canon too

[crystal forum]

space marine drama

[storm jungle]

Marine fans not be salty at anything challenge

[storm jungle]

Not "likely" it is. It's not a massive scope campaign in the wider universe and 8 Black Library writers worked on this game for the dialogue and the worldbuilding among other things lol

[crystal forum]

is there an actual sizeable amount of people who think these games aren't cannon or is this one of those cases of people making up an issue

[storm jungle]

Theres a considerable amount but nothing that big.

and also yeah making up an issue where there isn't one.

[queen laurel]

Shame the best ork is not canon

[storm jungle]

He is canon.

[queen laurel]

WHAT

[storm jungle]

All the DoW plots have happened.

lol

[queen laurel]

I thought they were set in their own thing

[crystal forum]

knowing GW there's no way they'd let a game studio make up stuff themselves

[queen laurel]

huh neat

[queen laurel]

so it is cannon that Gabriel can somersault in the air in terminator armor?

[storm jungle]

Prob lol

but basically every DoW has a canon official ending

[queen laurel]

Gorgutz winning Kaurava

[storm jungle]

yep that is one

[crystal forum]

gameplay can't be considered 1:1 with lore

[storm jungle]

Blood Ravens also won Dark Crusade

[queen laurel]

Buddy the amount of space marine murder I needed to commit for that Dreanought spam

oh boy

the preservation fees must be crazy

[crystal forum]

death strike missiles are crazy

this book i read had one take out a whole city block and leave behind a massive hole

space marines wish they had this level of artillery

orks mad that they can't match the human dakka

[storm jungle]

Well yeah its a nuke.

and you need a hell of a lot of authorisation to even launch one

[queen laurel]

Ork Pulsa Rokkits are pretty funny

The Pulsa Rokkit contains a large and unstable force field generator. It is a special version of Kustom Force Field, mounted on a rocket and launched into enemy ranks. The generator is modified into a special version called a Pulsa and detaches from the rocket and slowly descends (hopefully) to the ground.

The Pulsa launches waves of energy in all directions like a stone on a pond, which sends troops into disarray as they are thrown around and vehicles flip over. Most of the time the Pulsa will burn out after one massive pulse, however on some occasions it can continue to fire.[1]

The crew doesn't need to be able to see where the rocket is going, ultimately as long as it lands somewhere in the area of the enemy is fine. Foot soldiers are knocked over and sometimes pinned to the ground, heavy weapons on mounts are often flipped over and their crews knocked down, dreadnoughts are sometimes knocked over or even have their legs destroyed, bikes and vehicles are spun round and flipped over and some terrain is even demolished, especially walls.[1]

_Lex

[thorn zenith]

so Gabriel and Macha are canon

[green loom]

Dude I like

[queen laurel]

I swear to God you bring up those two one more time I will bring another Ice Age

[storm jungle]

no lol

[green loom]

Got 60 followers overnight

Decided to vet them

And I'm finding fkn Nazi crap already

Warhammer artist struggles fr fr

[queen laurel]

the curse of being a warhammer artist

you will attract all sorts of people

[arctic talon]

They’ve always had something evil going on tbf

It was just less overt

[thorn zenith]

fair, but still. Can't have anything legit good in here

[arctic talon]

Also they’re an expansionist empire with the whole

Join or we’ll make you join thing going on

[queen laurel]

do the tau kill you if you refuse to join but don't harm them like say I do not want to join your greater good but I will help you as an ally

[arctic talon]

If you ally with them they’ll try getting you to join peacefully instead

[thorn zenith]

seriously tho i do hope that if they make another DoW game with the old cast, they'd make Gabriel and Macha have an easier time talking to each others owing to how much they bump into each others, they gotta know each others by now

[queen laurel]

So I can keep refusing them and just being allies

[arctic talon]

Yeah

If you end up being too weak

They might decide to “acquire” you

Anyways

[queen laurel]

Well they're already more reasonable than a lot of the people I've met online

[arctic talon]

LOL

[thorn zenith]

LMAOOOOOOO

[arctic talon]

But the tau empire are a “realistic” evil

Not nearly as evil as anyone else

[thorn zenith]

true, true

[arctic talon]

Like if everyone in the room is sharpening a knife, the tau empire is hiding one behind their back

[summer mural]

whos the most drunk primarch

[storm jungle]

Im gonna shoot you

[summer mural]

im am

a lil buzzzed

afm

afk

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

gonna go listen to the edgerunners ost

its perfect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnnbP7pCIvQ&list=RDMM&index=2

also, the video has an entire arc

just for the song

[queen laurel]

Kill'em boss

[young pecan]

Library scene with Cassia be like ||You're showing even a little humanity for her? So you must want to bang, right? You want to bang her, right? That's the only reason to be nice to someone, right? To bang them?||

Like chill bro I'm just iconoclasting it up

[gray umbra]

Theres a plot in the ciaphas cain books where an imperial world has an uneasy cooexistence with the tau where the tau have an embassy in the city

Theres a bunch of pro tau civvies running around too

The reasoning was that it was just not worth the resource drain to fight them

[queen laurel]

Yeah at least their reasonable enough to not force you to join their greater good unless you know you f*** up and some way and you are going to join

[dusk patrol]

Baldur’s Gate romances be like:

“Oh man that tragic story you just told me is sad.”

Literally any character: ”So you wanna fuck right?!”

[queen laurel]

Funny you say that because i am playing baldurs gate

[dusk patrol]

Don’t be nice to Gale

[queen laurel]

And the year the romance are pretty much straight forward shot in your face

[queen laurel]

The runt fucked a god

I am not romancing that

[gray umbra]

mythra kind of mid ngl

[rocky gale]

His romance sneaks up on you

[gray umbra]

that was a joke

i think they patched a lot of the companions coming onto you supposedly

but i rememebr during release gale would do the equivalent of "hey u wanna see something cool?"

and it ends up being a dick pic

[queen laurel]

Laezel was pretty straightforward with it

[rocky gale]

Tav "That's a cool spell Gale"

Gale "We are now officially dating"

Tav "What?"

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/mass-effect3-report-to-the-ship-as-soon-as-possible-well-bang-ok-gif-17369371

[gray umbra]

gale's the guy you're nice to

[queen laurel]

Yeah You have to outright reject some of them

[gray umbra]

and then he hits you up with the 'wanna fuck"

[queen laurel]

Because they ask do you love me

But of course they say no hard feelings

After all who would want to piss off my 20 strength barbarian

[dusk patrol]

I makes me miss Mass Effect romances where you have to choose the most blatant dialogue options

Like I get making it organic but

That’s not organic

[gray umbra]

nah gale is pretty organic

stereotypical nerdy guy who catches feels because woman is nice to him

[queen laurel]

F*** him eating my magic items early game tho

I swear to god

[gray umbra]

i gave hi mthe shit i would never use

lots of bard items just disappeared into his void

[queen laurel]

If i didn't have the patience of a ancient dragon he would have disappeared long ago

[summer mural]

I agree, mass effect used to have some truly fuckall options that felt excellent to use

and now its all kinda watered down

[dusk patrol]

He does it regardless of what you are

[gray umbra]

oh i know

[dusk patrol]

It’s just not well done

[gray umbra]

thats just the relatable equivalent

[dusk patrol]

Which is why they adjusted it

[queen laurel]

Yeah everyone in baldurs gate swings multiple way s

[rocky gale]

The most organic is Inquisition where it lets you flirt with Cassandra for almost half the game only for her to eventually say "Oh yea sorry I'm not into girls" and have to pivot into romancing someone else instead.

[gray umbra]

ah yes crazy elf lady

[dusk patrol]

Fuck the elf lady

Not literally

[summer mural]

da origins was a pretty good kissing game too

[dusk patrol]

Worthless companion

I just romanced the one ambassador lady

Or Ironhoof or whatever his name was

It’s been forever

[queen laurel]

The barbarian class is so f****** fun

[storm jungle]

Minthara's VA also like voiced so many badass female characters in 40k audiobooks lmao

i cannot unhear her voice its sexy as hell

[rocky gale]

Josephine is top tier romance

[dusk patrol]

Yarp

Also like, one of the few just healthy ones

[queen laurel]

Let me guess you would kiss astarion in the mouth if you had the chance would you?

[gray umbra]

would genocide refugees just to see her smile

[storm jungle]

^

[storm jungle]

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

Yes.

[dusk patrol]

Pathetic

[queen laurel]

Yeah i guess that right

[storm jungle]

Gonna shove my fist up your ass

🤜

[gray umbra]

astarion is "i can fix him' energy

[dusk patrol]

You can’t fix everyone smh

[storm jungle]

I want to unfix him

[queen laurel]

Me i go for Karlach, honesty is a personality i appreciate

Call my taste basic i dare you

[storm jungle]

[gray umbra]

just go vampire ascendant

and we're all set 🙂

[rocky gale]

Do not go for Vampire Ascendant

[queen laurel]

Ah yes instead of fixing him

"I can make him so much worse"

[dusk patrol]

I didn’t wanna do Karlach my first run because I felt almost patronized by the devs

So I went maidenless cause I fucked everything else up

[gray umbra]

shadowheart is probably the most basic one ngl

[dusk patrol]

Karlach is by far

The most basic

[storm jungle]

This but me with IRL women/men

[queen laurel]

She is literally the first companion you can get

[dusk patrol]

As much as I love her

[queen laurel]

Yeah she's just honest with what she wants which is what her main character appealment

[dusk patrol]

Shadow heart you can at least make her evil

[queen laurel]

She's not going to stab you in the back she's going to be very honest and punch you in the throat

[queen laurel]

I killed her

[dusk patrol]

Every time

[queen laurel]

Like the first time

[dusk patrol]

Not worth

[queen laurel]

I did not want to try to convert her

I immediately went for the violent option unfortunately

[dusk patrol]

I guess you can be a coward and not genocide now and get her

[gray umbra]

my first playthrough i needed oathbreaker because i was going warlockadin cheese so i gave her the grove location to ambush her

[storm jungle]

Drows got me actin' unwise...

[dusk patrol]

Actually I take it back Wyll is the most basic

[gray umbra]

i agree

[dusk patrol]

I often forget Wyll exists

[gray umbra]

i only remember wyll because warlock is op

[dusk patrol]

The best part about Wyll is he leads to you getting to bang a hot devil lady

[storm jungle]

my man lol

[queen laurel]

Marazhai got you the way of thinking Kryptman so i can only imagine what the Drow twins in act 3 is going to do to you

[storm jungle]

[gray umbra]

is marazhai the dom or the sub??

[dusk patrol]

Yes

[queen laurel]

Dom

[storm jungle]

Dom

[queen laurel]

He is a top

Whether you like it or not

[rocky gale]

I killed the Grove once, but it was after I'd already completed all the quests around it so when I was looting the bodies one of the Tiefling kids had a letter talking about how much of a hero I was. It legit broke me and I had to stop playing with that save.

[gray umbra]

shame

[dusk patrol]

He’s a sub in my play through

[storm jungle]

His ego is about as fragile as a custodian fan's

[dusk patrol]

Or I assume he is

[storm jungle]

Excuse me

were you experimenting

[summer mural]

the adeptus

custards

[dusk patrol]

Sub to whatever inquisition hellhole he’s in

He’s not even that useful smh

[storm jungle]

Hes fun.

[queen laurel]

You're telling me their ego gets easily destroyed like that one time the Harlequins went through them like a chicken getting eaten by a fox in chicken coop?

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[summer mural]

what are the best deathwatch books, I feel like I get 0 deathwatch lore in the popular novels

[storm jungle]

All of them.

[dusk patrol]

I just let the Daemonette clap him now

[storm jungle]

tho be warned the first one has a pretty fucked up GSC plotline

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

It’s a good book though

[storm jungle]

this was before they got their lore updated so it has a lot noncon sexual stuff

[dusk patrol]

But even the marines are like “Wtf?!”

[storm jungle]

YEP

[summer mural]

the only deathwatch story I remember is where the deathwatch were guarding that one invisible lovecraftian prisoner they didnt know existed because it was invisible

so they just stood in an empty cell

[storm jungle]

Me working at Wallmart

[dusk patrol]

There’s a bunch, mostly shorts

Talon Squad is the main books with a few shorts

They’re fun

Also Killteam Cassius has some good shorts attached to it

There’s an omnibus just read that

[storm jungle]

it helps that they are basically the Suicide Squad but in 40k

minus the micro-bombs bit

Misfits forced to work together

[dusk patrol]

Its a pretty easy thing to make fun as a story

[storm jungle]

its a tale as old as time

from the Odyssey to the 7 Samurai and so on

[dusk patrol]

Even Kyme manages to make a halfway decent deathwatch short

It’s still mid but that’s high praise for a Kyme original

[storm jungle]

Kyme really does deserve to burn in the deepest pits of hell.

In Minecraft of course.

[dusk patrol]

“What if Marine Malevolent and Salamander on same team, and they have friction but then become more friendly?

What fucking masochistic Watch Captain made that choice

I guess it worked so maybe he’s galaxy brained

I always wanted Lukas the Trickster to get sent to Deathwatch and be put on a squad full of complete nutcases where he has to be the voice of reason

[summer mural]

imagine being a loyalist space marine that decides " Ima call my boys the Marine Malevolent, yes, thatl be the name of our glorious chapter, for the emperor of course"

[dusk patrol]

Be like, a Mortifactor, Red Talon, Flesh Tearer, Minotaur

[dusk patrol]

They got dibs on a sick ass bumblebee paint job so they win

[queen laurel]

Okay yeah this one i will agree with his personality is even more bland

[gray umbra]

just give your loyalist chapter the most chaos worshippy name possible

[dusk patrol]

Blood Drinkers being pretty chill is always funny to me

[summer mural]

the blood angels successors are in a category of their own

[gray umbra]

We're the uh checks notes Soul Drinkers

yep

[dusk patrol]

I think Flesh Eaters are pretty basic too

[summer mural]

flesh eaters are carried hard by gabriel

[queen laurel]

"the orphan obliterators"

[storm jungle]

Cranium Fornicators turning into Skull Fuckers the moment they fall to chaos

[summer mural]

tearers*

what Im gathering is

emperors children had the right idea

[dusk patrol]

There’s a short where a guardsmen watches a Blood Drinker land on an enemy gun nest and just brutalize and horrifically tear apart the enemy, then after he’s done he just looks at the guardsman, waves, and says something like “For the Emperor.” Before jetting off

It’s kinda hilarious

The guardsman is just traumatized but also happy cause the nest was fucking them up

[gray umbra]

40k has a lot of opportunity for slapstick dark humor

[arctic talon]

The flesh eaters are very chill ironicially

Despite a name like that

[wintry scarab]

What's the difference between a Sergeant with a golden skull on his helmet and a silver one?

ultramarines that is

[rocky gale]

Could differentiate between Companies

Doesn't mention it here though, they all look Silver

[wintry scarab]

Yeah alright thx. I just accidentally painted my sergeants skull silver because i brain farted and panicked. But i fixed it. I did see some images of ultramarines sergeants with golden skulls but it could just be the artist also not making sure it has to be silver.

[gray umbra]

that might not be a detail that mattersyeah

[coarse pumice]

wtf the brettonian duke is almost the statline as a chaos lord

[versed ledge]

At that point, I would be reconsidering whose side to really fight for

[dusk patrol]

Well you have poor self preservation instincts then

[versed ledge]

What did the Marines get a new helmet?

[rocky gale]

Have you heard of Primaris?

[versed ledge]

Yup, a new type of marine

[dusk patrol]

Mk. X power armor came with them

[versed ledge]

Some souped up version from the regular marine

Any difference besides looks and tactics?

[dusk patrol]

It’s an evolution of past designs

It’s modular

Easy to swap stuff out

[versed ledge]

The AR platform of Marines then

[celest dome]

Primaris are basically just revamped model line, not much more lorewise

[dusk patrol]

These are all Mk X

Along with the standard pattern you see

[rocky gale]

They can also remove the top part of the new helmet and keep the mask

[dusk patrol]

Phobos is stripped down and meant for stealth and ability

Gravis is suped up

[versed ledge]

Man, that forehead looks very sniper worthy

[dusk patrol]

Kinda like proto terminator armor

[versed ledge]

But neat, we're finally moving out of those massive great war esques battles to the modern like battlefield

[dusk patrol]

It’s still 40k

[versed ledge]

True, but now more tactical

[dusk patrol]

They still do that

Complaining about realism in 40k is the most boring shit ever

[versed ledge]

Not complaining, actually complimenting

Because these designs are dope

[rocky gale]

Not a fan of the Phobos design, but love the standard Primaris and the Gravis

[versed ledge]

Loving me them slimmer and tacticool designs

Really hope future Warhammer 40k games uses these designs for the marine, as well as the new Cadian designs

[green loom]

I wasn't a fan of them initially but they've really grown on me ngl

[gray umbra]

I really like the lighter power armor

[brisk agate]

I hate these forehead designs

With a passioon

Just take off the helmet bro fr

And the mask

Nobody wants to see your bald 'ead

[dusk patrol]

Bah

It can be cool

Depends

[rocky gale]

The removable top part leaving a mask is cool

[gray umbra]

bald

[rose thorn]

The blood ravens hate the black Templars which I like

Is there a loyal chapter known for hating the space wolves

[crystal forum]

grey knights?

i think a lot of founding chapters dislike space wolves for some historical reason or another

[gray umbra]

thousand sons

[rose thorn]

Loyal

[storm jungle]

Dark Angels

:)

[dusk patrol]

DA and SW have little honor duel they do dating back to the heresy

The Lion and Russ had a complicated relationship

[coarse pumice]

that story is really old

might even predate the heresy

[wintry scarab]

Btw i remember looking into this. Primaris maximus helmets have 4 parts to them. They have the helmet, the helmet halfmask (it has 6 grills), the under mask (it has 4 grills) and the headguard that all of this stuff sits on. So in that image the marine removed his helmet part only. Idk, i remember it annoyed me how some marines had different grill amounts on different models and then i found out the maximus helmet is modular.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3DsHGDRQ5M This trailer shows it at 2:38

[velvet imp]

remember these two?

In context the book does expand on these two being they did survive events of Dawn of war 1 and Angelos recruit them into the Blood Ravens, skipping the entire recruitment process to make them into Space Marines since there deeds here and during the entire DoW1 events earned them their place

one sadly did not survive the process but the other did survive but one of his arms ended up being screwed up

[rose thorn]

My two least favorite chapters being non codex complaint

[rose thorn]

Nah unless it’s big enough

Pretty sure it’s mainly used on titans and ships

[wintry scarab]

I know there were psykers that shielded entire planets in the books. At least i remember hearing about it.

[thick cedar]

https://youtu.be/s53lxS6Q-xM?si=6uJ4z_LAJIwBWA8w

I like to pretend this is what the thousand sons do all day

theres no "science"

just fucking around

[gray umbra]

What else would you do on the planet of sorcerers

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer40k-dark-angels-tts-gif-21604305

[thorn zenith]

i vaguely remember a scene from Battlefleet Gothic Armada of Cadia blocking a Blackstone shot with Null Array, whatever that is

[dusk patrol]

There’s some examples yes

[tulip brook]

Dark Angels started growing on me but mostly new fallen/risen popping up around chapter with heresy era weaponry, lion being chill and them deathwing and ravenwing being mostly the same basic units but better

[rocky gale]

[storm jungle]

the dark souls man

[queen laurel]

he's got the title and name down too

[rocky gale]

He’s finally coming home

[queen laurel]

please do not put him in a jar

[rocky gale]

I wish he’d put me in a j…

[rocky gale]

I’m sorry 😔

[storm jungle]

@green loom

Yeah uh

I may have accidentally looked at grimdank

💀

[celest dome]

Poor you

[green loom]

Hehehheehehehehehehee

Rare Grimdank W tbh

[storm jungle]

Yeah I haven't visited it in like months

these just popped up on my feed

[green loom]

Like it's entirely deserved

If it was blatant word for word plagiarism? Valid

But Majorkill was pissed that Wes made videos of shit he hasn't even talked about

Most of Wes' videos are also longer, and 99% of the videos he takes issue with have videos on YouTube that are older than both their channels combined

[storm jungle]

^

Wes is just a goofball

he can be annoying but he has no malicious intent, its like the same with Valrak

[queen laurel]

The Grimdank orks suddenly developing brain cells and team up to beat up the enemy instead

very rare considering they mostly kill each other

[storm jungle]

it really surprised me too

[queen laurel]

yeah like Bricky Valrak and Wes are three of them are not the best at talking about warhammer but they are genuinely good people

[rocky gale]

Did yous see Bricky is shutting down his Battle report channel because they couldn’t afford the operating costs

[storm jungle]

LMAO WHAT

[rocky gale]

Yea apparently it was just haemorrhaging money

[green loom]

Recording a battle report costs too much money and doesn't make enough

[queen laurel]

https://youtu.be/5Clj63vFP5w?si=eg1W_oRW7BgANI_6 no the only thing I know is he somehow is he is playing with some of the biggest V tubers around

somehow

[storm jungle]

Guess he has to produce more cheap generic NSFW posters on his main channel.

😔

[green loom]

And he doesn't want it eating into his record profits fon his main channel and AR

[storm jungle]

^

Bricky makes a lot more money just creating slop

[green loom]

Business is business TBF but it's pretty funny that it goes that shallow

[spring cairn]

v-tubers are brainrot

[queen laurel]

so is warhammer but we don't complain about it now do we

[storm jungle]

LOL

[rocky gale]

The Vtubers were reacting to his 40K intro videos and were gifting him subs as compensation, so yea he smelled money with future collars with them

[spring cairn]

why do you enjoy something you willingly regard as such

[queen laurel]

Because I can and because I will

[storm jungle]

Because theres good things in stinky piles of doo-doo

lol

same reason people still like Star Wars

[green loom]

I'm fairly certain he's just been cashing in on his random popularity wave from the crappy faction intro videos years ago, he doubtless likes 40k but the content he makes for it is NOTICEABLY lower quality than everything else

[storm jungle]

Also yeah that.

[spring cairn]

there's nothing good in v-tubers

[queen laurel]

Why Do you think @storm jungle stayed in warhammer all those years

even though the people are straight up stupid

[storm jungle]

12 years and counting

👩‍🦽

[green loom]

Sunk cost

[storm jungle]

AUGH

[green loom]

I kid we love commissioners

[storm jungle]

That has been really blowing up. I keep seeing them on my feed lol

I clicked on like 5 "Not Interested" ones today lol

[queen laurel]

He is very very good at attracting beginners at warhammer lore for some reason

[green loom]

And the Dolara has excellent taste in artistes

[storm jungle]

💵

[queen laurel]

than other lore tubers I'd say

Like the amount of genuinely new people to the universe that come to his videos for information is quite surprisingly staggering

[green loom]

He knows how to fkn

Appeal to morons

[spring cairn]

v-tubers viewvers

[green loom]

He was a league YouTuber before going variety and some of his best content is cod stuff rn

[queen laurel]

Effective tactics are effective tactics

[spring cairn]

barely even humans

[crystal forum]

somehow less effort than streaming

[queen laurel]

dude i'd take a vtuber fan over a Nazi imperium justifier anytime of the day

[spring cairn]

i was curious and watched a v-tuber clip the other day

and i was left baffled

[green loom]

We only Stan the best streamer here
Kommissar Azura
The OG 40k vtuber going like 5 years now

[spring cairn]

it was just a j-peg making baby noises while playing minecraft for 2 minutes

[crystal forum]

people are desperate for a sense of community

[queen laurel]

My guy people consume content far far worse than that

[spring cairn]

whataboutism

[rocky gale]

Tbf there are so many vtubers nowadays that this is as unspecific as saying “I watched a tv program and was confused”

[spring cairn]

all seem the same to me

[green loom]

I mean personally I don't get streams period

[queen laurel]

You played Karl Franz 500 times in a single campaign

[green loom]

No that's me

[crystal forum]

i genuinely dont understand why people watch streamers

[spring cairn]

Let's make it 501

[queen laurel]

yeah can barely stomach watching a video for an hour

[crystal forum]

except the few ones who actually put on a show like jerma

you know, effort

[queen laurel]

Jerma is from the Ghoul stars

[spring cairn]

Only streams I watch are people who are very good at the game they play

so you get to learn more

when i'm interested in the game ofc

it's complement to playing it myself

[tulip brook]

I'm only watching the most popular channels in irl section

[spring cairn]

this guy cooms 23 hours a day

[queen laurel]

My brain wanders consuming entertainment like a squig

But of course I still analyse if the entertainment is edible or I should spit it out

[crystal forum]

there's one thing i noticed from stream viewers. they literally know nothing

[tulip brook]

for real tho, I'm only watching twitch for drops

maybe a few tournaments like evo

[crystal forum]

like i know small streamers who've been streaming the exact same game for like 5 years and most of their consistent audience have never even played it

[spring cairn]

i'll always prefer videos anyway, I don't have time for streams

[queen laurel]

yeah videos are also easier to digest because you don't feel the weight of the time weighing you down

unless it's like somehow one hour

Unless it's a very very important topic that you need a lot of time to talk about I understand but if it's just like talking about a random gun in warhammer then I am concerned

[spring cairn]

can always watch it in parts

i've watched 4 hours vids before in the span of multiple days

[queen laurel]

yeah it helps

[crystal forum]

i just put it as background noise

helps me get through work days

[spring cairn]

My trip to Quebec were my best vacations i ever took

I reccomend

the locals are funny and they speak both french and english

[storm jungle]

was Quebec that place in Canada where everyone is a racist

Astarion, how awful. Not even a respectable romance like Laezel

hmm

i do not know what to reply to that

[rocky gale]

No reply is needed, for I will now spend the next 20 minutes misty eyed daydreaming about my darling Laezel

[green loom]

WoW players consistently become very based once they kick the addiction

Also I figured out why the chuds were fighting

[queen laurel]

was it what you expected?

[green loom]

No actually

I mean it's not shocking

But

Apparently the Bohemond dude is wanting to move away from that whole persona and the rest of the chuds aren't happy with it

[queen laurel]

that's one of the stupid reasons i've heard someone start a war in the internet over

I've heard a lot of them but that one is up there

[green loom]

"You DON'T want to be a loud hateful racist anymore???? KILLLLLL"

Not sure on the specifics but it's very funny

[queen laurel]

yeah it's one of those just stay away from it moment

[rocky gale]

So it’s a Megamind moment

[green loom]

There's probably some very specific disney movie where a person's peers try to drag him down when he wants to move away from them but i'm blanking on it rn

[queen laurel]

the new megamind looks fuckin weird, that's not megamind that's Big Think

Jesus what did they do

[rocky gale]

Haven’t seen it, just people complaining online

[queen laurel]

the trailer did not help it trust me

[storm jungle]

I watched it

it has no will farrell

the animation also fell off

not gonna see it 💀

[queen laurel]

bro it fell off harder than a Grot getting set on fire and getting thrown off a plane

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

Like these villains would get absolutely railed by metro man

megamind has like

[storm jungle]

Metroman ironically is a Primarch-tier threat

[green loom]

I mean have you seen those calves?

Shuheeeesh

[dusk patrol]

His speed feats are insane

Like, that’s on par with the flash basically

[rocky gale]

Didn’t they also release a new Gru trailer that’s sent people into a spiral because he has a kid now

[dusk patrol]

And a lot of his goofiest speed feats

[queen laurel]

moving so fast time crawls huh

Yeah

He is very durable too

[dusk patrol]

It was stopped basically

[storm jungle]

Also like

[queen laurel]

it took a solar powered laser beam directly to the face no

problem

[storm jungle]

its the same with that one tweet that asked who would win between Sanguinius VS Omniman.

I dont think Sanguinius can stop a capital ship from falling on him on orbit 💀

or his opposition moving so fast that he creats literaly mini-nukes

[storm jungle]

Still one of my fav scenes in the movie

the fact that he uses that moment in time to reflect on everything is actually surprisingly deep

[green loom]

Sometimes a dude just needs to go on a quiet journey of introspection

[queen laurel]

there are very few characters that can tank a solar powered laser to the face point blank

[dusk patrol]

https://static.dc.com/2023-06/20230608_DC_News_Listery_FlashSpeed3.jpg

[queen laurel]

in Warhammer

[dusk patrol]

Comics are goofy as hell

[queen laurel]

Like even if you throw an exterminatus at him he would be fine

[dusk patrol]

Primarchs would be pretty strong but they’d still be very mid tier, their knowledge would be more valuable combined with their durability and physical ability

[crystal forum]

primarchs are commanders first and foremost right

[dusk patrol]

Thats always been their primary deal

[storm jungle]

They are basically very mid-tier powerwise when compared to other fictional superhumans.

[dusk patrol]

The fact that they can kick in a lot of dudes faces is just bonus

That being said it’s much easier to write “this guy smashes this dude” than to write why they’re effective commanders

But we do get to see it sometimes

[crystal forum]

some like angron seem to just be fighters

[dusk patrol]

Well he has some things holding him back

And he was still smart

Still capable

[queen laurel]

Damage would fucking kill a primarch

[dusk patrol]

He just didn’t wanna be and couldn’t focus

[pale onyx]

Is it just me or are word bearers super under rated? They actually love the chaos gods since they wanted gods to worship and mainly do it out of devotion compared to power. I also barely see any word bearer armies. Feels like they were kinda forgotten after the horus heresy

[storm jungle]

Yeah they are.

People also shit on them because they cant cope with the fact that they are great villains lol

[crystal forum]

at least lorgar didn't get the ferrus manus treatment

[dusk patrol]

Basically every legion people shit on are underrated

[storm jungle]

Nah

Some are more than others

theres no equality

Nobody ever hates Death Guard for example, they are basic and do their job while looking cool.

[dusk patrol]

EC have plenty of nuts thing they do people just like to go on about “sex dudes”

[storm jungle]

Yeah because people are stupid lol

EC also are just... bad lore wise

they are basically faceless mooks

they more or less do nothing throughout the Heresy

[queen laurel]

@storm jungle this is the words of superman after getting hit by damage by the way

[crystal forum]

death guard and the other chapters who represent a single chaos god don't count

[dusk patrol]

They just don’t get as much focus it’s the same as everyone else, their main downside is they don’t really wanna focus on the main goal

[storm jungle]

Me @ my siblings

[dusk patrol]

Word Bearers if anything get too much focus, people just don’t like Erebus and overly like Argel Tal even though he’s a huge bitch, and Zardu Layak is the real g

[storm jungle]

The main issue is when you got a single gimmick basically nobody is gonna remember you much.

Even with their awesome trilogy for example nobody cares much about Night Lords in the bigger narrative.

[pale onyx]

Death guard cool af. But rogue trader actually introduced me to world bearers and looking into their lore I like how religious they are to such fucked up gods. And they actually summon greater daemons and shit for all four gods, surely #1 simp for chaos undivided

[storm jungle]

Because all they do is just

go to planet

do generic terror attacks

flay people

lol

That and you don't get good enough representation from mainline 40k lore

[dusk patrol]

Night Lords are hugely popular tbh despite the fact that they didn’t get a lot to do

[storm jungle]

Kinda

they are popular but they are massive footnotes in the main stuff

[dusk patrol]

Mostly cause their look and ADBs books

[crystal forum]

i dont like night lords because i hate stealth as a concept

[storm jungle]

Ok Postal Dude

[dusk patrol]

No accounting for taste

[queen laurel]

me reading how this space marine legion is different because it killed 100 orphanages in a span of a minute

[dusk patrol]

Idk I can enjoy all the legions, some I like more obviously but I don’t think any of them are really bad in concept

They all have good moments, some way more and more focus but the fact they manage to be distinct when they’re fucking 18 of them is impressive

[crystal forum]

do iron hand fans exist

[dusk patrol]

I’m gonna ignore that

[storm jungle]

I'm zipping my mouth

[rocky gale]

Boss music just started

[crystal forum]

i've genuinely never seen one

[storm jungle]

[crystal forum]

i think the chapter is great

[dusk patrol]

They’re one of the less popular chapters so it’s not as common yeah

I enjoy em, I get why people don’t

[queen laurel]

EVERY ONE QUICK KNOCK OUT JAY

[dusk patrol]

They have some fun lore

[crystal forum]

i like the whole mechanicus thing they have going on

[dusk patrol]

But they don’t get as much focus and they have very few books so it’s how it goes

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah also before I forget.

Word Bearers should basically be treated as Decepticons, they do have some depth but at the end of the day you are suppose to like them BECAUSE they are extremely evil.

Well that and evil catholic-chaos-church shit.

https://tenor.com/view/megatron-transformers-decepticon-starscream-laughing-gif-7360447

[crystal forum]

if ferrus manus comes back maybe people will care about iron hands again

[dusk patrol]

Word Bearers trilogy in 40k is the best Word Bearers stuff

[storm jungle]

^

[dusk patrol]

Well he’s gonna come back like

[pale onyx]

What are word bearers doing in the setting currently?

[dusk patrol]

After Curze and Horus do

So it’s gonna be while

[storm jungle]

Basically same as every chaos legion, invading places and killing people.

[crystal forum]

you think horus will come back?

[dusk patrol]

No

That’s the joke

[storm jungle]

its the WAY they do it that makes it good

[dusk patrol]

Curze and Horus are never coming back

I don’t think Sanguinius is gonna either tbh

[crystal forum]

but aren't there hints of ferrus manus coming back

[rocky gale]

Isn’t decepticon lore like they seen super evil but then you look at their backstory and they were originally the good guys fighting against slavery and systemic oppression.

[dusk patrol]

There’s some ways

It’s always been a legend that his spirit appeared on Medusa after Horus fell

[pale onyx]

Alright and how do they do it? And what happened to their primearch lorgar?

[storm jungle]

Ironically yeah the goal of the decepticons is semi understandable but at the end of the day they are asshole villains lmao

[dusk patrol]

And said he would return

But idk, the only way I’d want him back is as some kinda Revenant

Legion of the Damned or whatever idc

Not as a person whose actually back

[queen laurel]

Me watching Megatron turn it from a good person trying to overturn oppression into something good only for him to become one of the greatest mass murderers of the Galaxy

[crystal forum]

it would have been funny if ferrus manus was announced to come back before any of the actually popular primarchs

[storm jungle]

Lorgar is still around and leading them, he originally locked himself in a tower for years before finally stepping out of it.

The way Word Bearers do their "thing" is mostly through using the main thing chaos is great for aka spreading the gospel and corrupting imperial populaces to make them see the real True Gods aka the Big 4.

Its very much like a corrupted version of the Ecclesiarchy operations-wise.

[dusk patrol]

The Imperium in general needs more dudes who can “die” and come back anyways

[storm jungle]

The WB are also VERY numerous since they never had a secessionist event.

[storm jungle]

Angron Moment

[dusk patrol]

Which is why I want more living saints and Sanguinor to be more of a thing again

[crystal forum]

i just want the dark imperium era to actually go somewhere

[dusk patrol]

And/or an Ad Mech dude who can transfer his mind or shit like that

[pale onyx]

Nice! But then Lorgar even though he is a demon primearch isn’t active enough to have his own tabletop model

[storm jungle]

YEP

[dusk patrol]

It is

[storm jungle]

basically

daemon primarchs only get a model

when they got their own codex lol

[crystal forum]

where is it going right now

[storm jungle]

that way you can sell that to people and make big money

[dusk patrol]

Vashtorr storyline

[rocky gale]

Just wait for the Saint Yarrick reveal

[pale onyx]

True

[dusk patrol]

Also we have the whole Necron civil war

[pale onyx]

He coming back fr

[storm jungle]

At the moment the Emperor's Children are about to get a codex soon

then Fulgrim will come with it since its basically confirmed

[dusk patrol]

They’ve been adding to stuff a lot

[storm jungle]

after that deffo another loyalist primarch

[dusk patrol]

It takes time but

[crystal forum]

is the nid invasion going to actually result in anything

[dusk patrol]

Leman Russ is almost certainly next but not for awhile

[queen laurel]

Hehe

Fulgrim will come

[storm jungle]

no lol

[pale onyx]

How they putting abbadon in there before Logan and word bearers? He is the chaos gods favorite simp right

[dusk patrol]

It’s not gonna destroy the Imperium

[storm jungle]

You need to remember

this setting has no stakes

[crystal forum]

that's not what i mean

[storm jungle]

Abaddon is basically the chaos posterboy its mostly why

[crystal forum]

will nids kill something actually important for once?

[dusk patrol]

Also like, just being real, Nids winning is boring as hell to everyone

[rocky gale]

I swear if some boring ass loyalist Primarch release beats Ushoran for model of the year

[storm jungle]

It will

unfortunately

lol

[dusk patrol]

Define important

They’re gonna take a bite out of Pacificus and some of Solar

[crystal forum]

chapter home world, forge world like gryphonne that got randomly nuked by nids, anything with a name in lore

[storm jungle]

Nah prob not

just nameless planets and factions

[crystal forum]

i learned about gryphonne's death recently and it's so underwhelming

[dusk patrol]

I can’t recall from the codex but idk.

[storm jungle]

The most likely thing is they'll probably break through the Imperial cordon systems then make their way to the solar system and be put on ice for a few years until we finally get a conclusion that goes basically nowhere.

It was how they did Octarius lol

[crystal forum]

man nids really suck as a narrative device

[storm jungle]

I mean

they are literally Generic Evil Bug Race

every sci-fi universe has one

[dusk patrol]

Yeah that’s kinda the problem, they can’t “win”

Because them winning is, complete obliteration

[crystal forum]

like the borg in star trek. boring as hell enemy

[pale onyx]

Kinda conflicted on what army to collect now. Nurgle my favorite chaos god but his primearch monetarism is a little bitch. Word bearers are undivided but their primearch is actually somewhat understandable. Like I can’t understand Morty no matter how hard I simp for Nurgle

[dusk patrol]

You can’t retake a planet they took

[storm jungle]

Well you can thanks to Cawl

[queen laurel]

Let me see

Starship troopers
StarCraft
Warhammer
Aliens versus predator
Dune

[dusk patrol]

One special case which is never gonna be repeated let’s be real or isn’t common

[queen laurel]

Yeah it ain't a sci-fi setting

If you don't have generic monsters

[storm jungle]

Mortarion is basically a moron yeah, people mostly love his legion and marines more than he himself.

[crystal forum]

why aliens vs predator and not the alien franchise

[dusk patrol]

Mortarion has some very bad writing in 40k unfortunately

[storm jungle]

^

[queen laurel]

Because they have been glued together at this point that their basically synonymous with each other

[rocky gale]

I thought Mortarion was one of the more understandable traitor Primarchs tbh

[storm jungle]

He also gets his ass kicked like

10 fucking times???

which is ridiculous

[pale onyx]

Might collect them and have typhus lead them. Say it’s his warband since he has half the legion anyways in the lore

[storm jungle]

LOL

Just like the lore

[dusk patrol]

I like his idea but he just isn’t written well in most of his appearances

[storm jungle]

Yeah his backstory is just bad

"I hate my dad because he rescued me"

and just

so many other things

"I HATE PSYKERS."
-Morty a psyker

[crystal forum]

i wish we knew about the two missing primarchs so we could shit on two more badly written characters

[dusk patrol]

I like the idea that the Death Guard are still extremely loyal to him and that he’s basically the only one with a truly almost entirely unified legion

[dusk patrol]

No

[crystal forum]

why

[queen laurel]

If i had the ability to kick fictional characters in the balls and make them feel the pain of being kicked in one i

Morty would be pretty high up there

[storm jungle]

the lost primarchs are nothing

they are just mystery for the sake of mystery

[crystal forum]

i know but it's funny

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[pale onyx]

Man I wish that they would Al follow typhus instead of morty. Half the legion already does

[storm jungle]

unfortunately that would be too unrealistic

[dusk patrol]

They hate Typhus

[storm jungle]

because like, hes literally a primarch

[dusk patrol]

The only reason Typhus hasn’t been killed by them is Nurgle protects him

[storm jungle]

also yeah the Lords of Silence touches on this, Typhy tricked them but at the end of the day they cant turn back.

[queen laurel]

Yeah you're not going to beat a walking plot machine

[dusk patrol]

Typhus mostly attracts new Death Guard

He’s strong but he’s not that strong

[pale onyx]

Yeah but typhus has half the legion under his control right

[dusk patrol]

No

[green loom]

Just the first company

[dusk patrol]

He has a large warband

[storm jungle]

He has a sizable amount but not the entire yeah

[pale onyx]

Oh okay

[green loom]

I think

[dusk patrol]

But it’s not much of the legion

Mostly new plague marines

The Death Guard are actually bigger now than they ever were

[queen laurel]

It's like following an incredibly strong arch mage versus following a demigod powered by one of the worst gods ever

[storm jungle]

ye since the DG never broke up

[queen laurel]

It's very easy which one to pick if you want to live

[storm jungle]

they just kept getting bigger and bigger

they are EXTREMELY organized

[dusk patrol]

Insert fat joke here

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/despicable-me-fart-fart-gun-go-my-fart-dr-nefario-gif-1842537250670913175

^ average death guard marine

[dusk patrol]

But yeah they still mostly all directly follow Mortarion

Although he doesn’t often care what they want to do

[crystal forum]

would krieg be the best regiment for fighting death guard

[rocky gale]

Damn, remember when that fart gun gif would crash discord?

[storm jungle]

god no

[dusk patrol]

They’d be a bad idea

[storm jungle]

the DG fuck up Krieg in Vraks, its horrific

[crystal forum]

how so

[storm jungle]

uhhh

[queen laurel]

Nurgle hitting mortarian with a shit covered newspaper to get him in line

[dusk patrol]

Dude like I

[storm jungle]

basically they deploy viruses so deadly

[dusk patrol]

Take a guess

[storm jungle]

the krieg gasmasks literally melt

and they choke to death

[crystal forum]

damn

[storm jungle]

they try to persevere but they cant lmao

[crystal forum]

so which regiment would be the best

[dusk patrol]

Death Guard excel at just marching towards trench lines

[queen laurel]

Trying to win a war of attrition against the deafguard isn't also going to do you any favors

[dusk patrol]

Probably Catachan or someone with armor

[queen laurel]

If you think they can just stay in their trenches and fight back

[dusk patrol]

Someone who can maneuver

[storm jungle]

the way to win with the DG is to just not get near them lol

You don’t wanna hold ground against them

And they can close the gap typically by just abusing their durability

[storm jungle]

^

[queen laurel]

Yeah but if anything they can still retaliate with how hard they can take a beating

It's like an old boot covered by barnacles

[storm jungle]

they are LITERALLY bullet-sponges

[dusk patrol]

We see death guard just march into plasma and heavy bolter fire like it’s nothing

[storm jungle]

Basically yeah unless you got heavy fire you are fucked

you need a lot of elements to take them on

[dusk patrol]

Not all are equal but still

You don’t wanna hold ground

[crystal forum]

you'd think the whole gas mask thing would help

[dusk patrol]

Their stuff can pierce through power armor a lot of times if it’s well prepared enough

Gas masks ain’t doing shit

[crystal forum]

are tanks also fucked

[storm jungle]

unless its properly sealed yes

[dusk patrol]

Deltic Lions are probably your best bet

But the thing is not all this is made equal

[queen laurel]

Death guard: practically walking plague ridden tanks

A plot relevant guardsman with nothing but a lasgun:

[storm jungle]

but you are still dealing with a paranormal virus so it can just eat through the metal

[crystal forum]

actually wait there's something i dont get also. how are valhallans supposed to be good against orks

[dusk patrol]

Or like the what are they called

DD-99

Or whatever

[storm jungle]

They fought against them for a long time

[dusk patrol]

They infest their world

[crystal forum]

but they attack with human waves. isn't that the worst way to fight orks

[queen laurel]

Nurgle corruption straight up makes things alive

[dusk patrol]

When the ice thaws more show up

[queen laurel]

Like the next thing you know your gun will grow legs and eat you

[dusk patrol]

So they have to kill a bunch yearly

[storm jungle]

The human waves shit is mostly a meme

because the entire regiment is inspired by Enemy at the Gates

which uh

REALLY REALLY REALLY

gets a lot of shit about red army wrong lmao

[crystal forum]

it's literally the way soviets fought in WW2

[dusk patrol]

Hey it made them look way hotter than they probably were ok

[storm jungle]

no its not

they just didnt charge aimlessly lol

[crystal forum]

it literally is

[dusk patrol]

No way they had anyone as hot as Judd Law back then

[queen laurel]

They don't even use trench warfare tactics a lot

[dusk patrol]

Or whatever her name

[queen laurel]

It was mostly out of desperation

[crystal forum]

who said anything about it being aimless

[dusk patrol]

Can’t recall the actress

[storm jungle]

They did not charge into machine gun nests to die with commissars shooting them at the back

[crystal forum]

i didn't say that

[storm jungle]

Yes and thats what im talking about lol

its how the earlier lore portrayed them

whcih was entirely from Enemy at the Gates

[crystal forum]

and also yes literally they did do that without the commissar thing most of the time

[dusk patrol]

There’s one commander for the Valhallans who was like that

[tough haven]

What would be the best method for fighting nurgle/death guard?

[dusk patrol]

But I think he’s mostly the penal dude anyways

[storm jungle]

^ this yeah

Chenkov has also been like

not mentioned for years now

[dusk patrol]

Iron Hands do have a lot of success

[tough haven]

the classic technique of bombard it from orbit?

[dusk patrol]

For obvious reasons

[tough haven]

wouldnt they also just melt or get infected or something

[crystal forum]

hell this famous image was taken right before these soviets attacked a machine gun position. this is just how they fought

[dusk patrol]

They’re not immune and the Rust Plague exists but like

No one ever is

Fighting Death Guard is just about being able to hang and not prolonging it

And they’re not all made equal
