is peril based on anything?
I guess a psyker could just accidentally die from their powers lol
storm jungle
Peril is basically overloading yourself with the Warp's powers and not being able to concentrate
arctic talon
Peril is based on "perils of the warp"
storm jungle
in reality you would LITERALLY explode
rocky gale
Oh yea a Peril could be anything
arctic talon
on the scale of fuck ups
storm jungle

arctic talon
but generally whenever a psyker uses their powers they're always at risk of something going wrong
rocky gale
Like you could flash freeze everything within a 100m radius
rocky gale
You could cause it to start raining blood for the next week
rocky gale
You could invert yourself while still living
Exploding is just a simple way of putting it in game
storm jungle
Yeah its why psykers have pipes, wires and big devices on their outfits
all that stuff is to cool them off, throw off extra-warp power or help them concentrate
warm comet
I hate when a greater daemon crawls out of me
rocky gale
Oh yea the implants are also sometimes devices put in place to make your head explode if you do start to peril to stop any of the worse effects happening

whats the highest grade a psyker can be?

They don't
HIghest grade realistically is Alpha

Did Fallout copy the term psyker?
I was always curious as there is psykers in that game.

GW recently has made some bad decisions they want to cut off 3rd party hobby shops.
Annoying
Their stores are too expensive for any sane person to spend all that money.
bold wren
I mean then again some people live so far out that you cannot really go to a direct GW store.
rocky gale
They're not really purposefully cutting off 3rd party stores, they just have a massive supply issue rn so they're prioritising their own stock first
storm jungle
Why make it cheap when people still buy them.
rocky gale
People are already still buying them
bold wren
Cheaper
bold wren
There is just hobby shops that exist for cheaper
Fair enough
Don't need to buy it directly from GW
rocky gale
Like they could make it cheaper and still make profit, it would be nice if they did
But they won't
Because despite what the 3d printer bros will tell you, about how if everyone starts printing themselves it will force GW to lower their prices to stay competitive, it's not really that cost effective for the average person to do that vs just buying a box of models every now and then.
bold wren
Aren't both expensive?
Yeah 3rd printing is awfully expensive
It's expensive enough to print things on paper
shadow plover
also time consuming

You can get a box of models for like £30-£40 vs a 3d printer which can be like £600

"Trust me bro these 3rd party models that look like the creation of someone who utterly failed every design class they were in are totally on par with GW sculpts"
rocky gale
So it's the thing of like if you plan to go big into it and print lots, then yea in the long run you're better off getting a 3d printer. But if you're just the average collector you're probably better just getting from hobby shops or Ebay
shadow plover
mini for mini 3D printing is cheaper (discounting the pretty substantial buy in cost) but printing isn't fool proof and lots can go wrong with any prints which then forces you to spend time fiddling with settings and setting up a new print
rocky gale
Oh yea it's also the technical knowledge involved with it
It's not just "Press button and print"
humble shoal
Most of 3d printing skill is in making the file
If you can buy say a high quality set of krieg models for 5 bucks

Unfortunately, 40k isn't a setting about hope.

It's a way of thinking meaning yes it does exist while hopeless.

pine wedge
the Hivemind is literally a thing that doesnt even have a physical body.
The most tangible "physical" effect its presence has is an extreme dampening effect on the Warp. Where the Hivemind is, daemons aren't, and the Warp turns into a calm silent sea instead of the usual roiling chaos. Really cool stuff
It's so powerful that it flattens out the Warp and outmuscles its usual denizens
Just by Being There

does the warp turn silent with the hive mind around? i kind assumed it sorta got 'overwritten' with tyrannid flavoured warp instead
celest dome
The coming of a Tyranid hive fleet is preceded by a smothering psychic signal similar to **white noise **that envelops entire star systems and disrupts all forms of Warp travel and communication.

It was described as such in a recent... I want to say Blood Angels novel? A Librarian could feel the Hivemind approaching while they were Warp jumping and described the transition from regular Warp space to Hivemind-adjecent Warp space like going from a roiling mass of colours and daemons clawing to gain entry into the ship to emerging onto a flat lake on a moonless night, with an incomprehensibly vast and alien mind looming in the distance, turning its attention in his direction. I saw an excerpt of it somewhere, very cool sequence
unkempt dove
i guess once you get past the transition point is where all the buzzing bees happen, but there being a silent warp in the transition area is a cool thing

Hopes that the tempest might have diminished went unrealised. The warp was as deadly as ever when the fleet translated again, and only grew more agitated the further they went into their voyage. Things came at Rhacelus, excited by the beacon of his psyker’s soul. He fought them off with his mind, slicing them apart into coloured smoke. It was exhausting. There were too many to slay himself, and he was forced to scan an endless array of nightmares and pick out those that might conceivably breach the Geller fields. When one was torn to pieces, a thousand more emerged from the psychedelic chop of the warp to take its place.
‘Insanity,’ muttered Rhacelus. He forced himself to focus. To display weakness in the warp was to invite disaster. He had to be strong. Millions of lives hung on his fortitude. A personal doom waited for every man, woman and child within the fleet if he failed. Only the flicker-thin skins of the Geller fields kept the nightmares out. Only Rhacelus could deliver them to Baal before the fields began to fail. If the ships were lost, billions more Imperial subjects would be slain for their lack. Rhacelus hoped he never had to do this again.
And then, a sea change. The warp altered, though subtly at first. Rhacelus had little experience as a navigator of ships. Had he been born to the role he might have noticed sooner, like ancient mariners tasted the shift from salt to sweet in the waters of Terra’s lost oceans. But soon it became apparent to him that the tempest was calming. The shrieking ideoforms and psychopomps struggled to take shape. Those that manifested were sucked back to nothing among the energies that birthed them. Colours bled away. Currents stilled. A black wall was growing ahead, as impenetrable as the densest fog bank and infinitely more forbidding. The task force sped towards it. The armoured angel glinted in front of the darkness, and vanished within completely.
Against all the laws that governed it, the empyrean lost its mutability. Blackness seeped from the rolling wall of shadow. The visions and images weakened, and then stopped altogether. There was a brief passage through warp space of a primordial calmness, smooth and bright as a moonlit pond, and then the flotilla plunged into the darkness.
A new terror assailed Rhacelus. A vast, godlike mind turned its attention upon the ships, so puissant it quelled the fury of the warp. The hive mind was the truth of the tyranids. The Blood Angels believed the war beasts that plagued the universe were merely the material extrusion of something far greater, and that thing dwelt in the warp. The pressure of the hive mind’s regard was immense, crushing Rhacelus’ soul until it felt infinitely small. At great remove he felt blood trickle from the corners of his mortal eyes.
unkempt dove
the hive mind's been really built up these days to the point i wonder if it will still persist even if you manage to eliminate every tyrannid bioform
i used to think of it as some sorta incidental intelligence, that the combined warp signatures of all the nid bioforms gave form to something bigger
and maybe that's still true, but perhaps it also transcended those limits
pine wedge
I like it a lot because it also lends credence to my old headcanon that the Hive Mind isn't a manifestation of the psychic link between the Tyranids, created by them, but that instead the Tyranids are a physical manifestation of the Hive Mind, a psychic godlike presence that creates them
pine wedge
i used to think of it as some sorta incidental intelligence, that the combined w...
Yeah that's how it used to be presented. I treat this new way of describing it as the Imperium gaining greater insight into its nature. Like scientists refining their theories
unkempt dove
it could be a cyclic thing perhaps, maybe it did start out as such, just like how the warp gods were a result of the happenings of the matterium
the hive mind evolved from just a manifestation of tyrannid psychic link to an utterly alien warp god that blots out the existing warp as the other races know it
pine wedge
the hive mind evolved from just a manifestation of tyrannid psychic link to an u...
That works too yeah
Ofc the Hive Mind does exist within the Tyranids and their mental links to some extent. It moves where they do, and it doesn't seem like it can traverse the Warp independently of its physical Hive Fleets. But whether the Tyranids gave birth to it or whether it is something older that created them for its own purposes, and is now irrevocably entwined with them, remains to be seen
unkempt dove
i think the way it is represented seems to imply some sorta unity exists, even between tyrannid hive fleets - as if there's one hive mind behind it all, if the hive mind was just an incidental manifestation then each fleet should have their own 'hive mind'
pine wedge
Yeah I vaguely recall old lore implying that each Hive Fleet did have its own Hive Mind...
Or I think I recall it anyway
unkempt dove
now it seems like it's something far deeper than that
pine wedge
Yeah for sure.
unkempt dove
i do remembe rsome lore regarding tyrannid fleets fighting and eating each other, then the victor that emerges is more evolved than before and the biomass is still preserved
though this could still be true even with a unified hive mind, it'd be like tyrannid R&D

Not enough dopamine probably gonna have a hard time learning or being creative
are you not familiar with the stereotype of the tortured depressed artist creating outstanding art?
being in a poor state of mind can be extremely conducive to creativity
or it could give you major writer's block. people aren't binary on-off switches, everything affects everyone a little differnetly

Steven King doesn't remember writing Cujo

stephen king famously wrote a lot of intriguing books with terrible endings while high on cocaine because he also lacked the intellectual coherency to wrap the story up nicely
storm jungle
Also he was in a really shit place at the time
so I kinda get it
hes not a bad person

I read It when I wasn't fully confident on my English readin skills, that part confused me cause I really did not think someone could write that

Yeah like knowing King's mindset in that era it makes more sense lol
literally just "Oh he was just being a nutjob, ill just skip this"
lmao

Let's not forget Maximum Overdrive, his other car movie
Steven King is still kind of a nutjob
He looked at The Shining, arguably his most famous work, and really said "yeah I should make the kid from that fight vampire wizards"

RL Stine surprisingly has some actually good horror books for the teen/young adult audience
Like my mom got me an RL Stine book for an older audience because I liked Goosebumps. Pretty gruesome book. And then my sister had a massive stack of them in her closet I ended up getting a couple years later.

We also have to appreciate that RL Stine is really just a weird little goblin man who insists upon making terrible puns in all circumstances

RL Stine writing goosebumps: I'll never include divorce or drug abuse because I want kids to feel safe knowing the horror is just a fantasy ❤️
RL Stine writing for 14 year olds: This character was beaten to death by her boyfriend. Most violence against women is done by someone they trust
The Cheerleaders books he wrote are also grade A slasher stuff

Because his son has written like 30 Dune books at this point

No idea. Either way it makes sense considering how many modern/old time islamic traditions the fremen do in the books.

Ultramarine sternguard have white shoulder trims because they are first company, so any other chapter would just have the normal trim, right?
green loom
They'd have whatever marking they use for their 1st company
For BA it'd be golden helmets
wintry scarab
So are first comapines always the higher ranking soldiers?
rocky gale
Veterans yea
green loom
Typically
wintry scarab
What do the yellow stripes represent on ultramarines? I see captains have them.
Also would marines in higher ranks than veterans still be bumped up into the first company>
green loom
Only yellow stripe stuff I've seen is for like, a captain
rocky gale
Usually veterans from the 1st company get promoted to become officers of the lower Companies
So a 1st company veteran could be promoted to a 10th company Lieutenant etc

Aliens are kinda hot Mass Effect with them Rogue Traders.

Is this something that all codex compliant chapters abide by, colour wise?
burnt maple
Yes.
storm jungle
Yes.
burnt maple
Hence, fuck codex.
wintry scarab
Whats up with the little symbols they have?
storm jungle
Its just symbols to determine what a unit does
burnt maple
Just company marking.
storm jungle
also helps a person like a Marine recognize what this particular marine's job is
burnt maple
You see a rhino with green half moon? That thing's of 4th company.
wintry scarab
But they aren't on any actual marines? besides the yellow stripe on captains?
burnt maple
Pauldron trims and kneecap armor.
storm jungle

burnt maple
Trims are of respective color, kneecap has the symbol.
So, you see an Ubermarinen with green trims, lad 8s of 4th company. White trim? 1st company gigachad.
I wholeheartedly hate this.
green loom
Should note that which colours denote which company and how they're marked are typically the 2nd big difference between chapters beyond colour schemes
green loom
It's a nice lil flavour thing
burnt maple
Even Black Templars have sort of equivalent of it with red trims for their, uuuuh...

So for a homebrew chapter, could i get away with switching some symbols/colours around or is that not really something that would happen?
burnt maple
Swird brethren? No, higher...

If you want to yeah

rocky gale
For the case of homebrew space marines, pretty much everything is just a guideline
storm jungle

like I said above even the ones that dont adhere to the codex literally do adhere but just use custom shit.
burnt maple
Yup. My chapter uses crests instead of companies.
They have these shields on one of pauldron with a crest they belong to
storm jungle
yeah its basically to make a homebrewer/author's job easier
unless you're like a mega-fan nobody is gonna sit down and create their own very unique company setups etc
green loom
This is how I does it

Im talking more about literally the entire structure of a Chapter
it offers a lot of freedom.

Fuck no.

or just taking some IRL culture's aesthetic and grinding it to the most basic shit lol
burnt maple
XD guy who made ww2 germany marines comes to mind.
wintry scarab
Hmmm... Im thinking about this now. I kinda want my chapter to be codex compliant but i wanted their left kneepad to represent their company. But ive made it white. And white is first company. And all first company are veterans. And i have battle brothers. Im kinda stumped now.
I guess i could do what ederius did and when i get around to doing custom symbols i could just make company ones?
burnt maple
Hell yeah. Literally anything works as long as it helps distinguish their company.
Helmet colors, kneepad symbols, trims, pauldron symbols, some pattern on lower leg armor, a sash across their torso...
anything
wintry scarab
Yeah, guess so. Guess ill just do that then. Thanks!
burnt maple
Once again invoking my chapter, which uses knight heraldry, crests on a shield attached to one of their shoulders.
Like this lad.
(not finished, obviously)

Also like 1st chapter can have the standard Intercessors just be 1st company veterans.
burnt maple
Anyway, Dilara! If you ever feel bored to shit and wanting to judge other people based on their homebrews again, lemme know.
rocky gale
There used to be seperate rules for Veteran intercessors, but now they're gone. So you can just say they're veterans while running them as standard intercessors

Anyway, Dilara! If you ever feel bored to shit and wanting to judge other people...

Trueborn are still a thing in general lore, they just removed the rule that let you field specifically Trueborn units on the tabletop
The same way they removed Celestians from the Sororitas

It’s not like they removed the lore anyways

He'd have an absolute blast

i prefer the insane ass tier fantasy of aos

but im wierd os idk
arctic talon
Eberron is a much higher fantasy setting
celest dome
Faerun is more like Bright Warhammer fantasy, AoS could be compared to a couple of side settings, or on campain that rely heavilly on Planar travels
arctic talon
compared to the forgotten realms
and its also got the warforged in it
and is post magical apocalypse war
queen laurel
Yeah so a Brute would probably take control of a nearby orc tribe because
Faerun orcs don't really stack up to an iron jaw

and pretty much aren't stereotypical elves
beyond the whole being mysterious and antisocial aspect
