Wait Atoma Prime is an important supply chain.

#

And it wouldn't be impossible to see xenos on a Rogue Traders ship which we use in Darktide.

#

So we're definitely more desperate then I thought.

Don't suppose any of you know which edition spash marines became genetic super soldiers rather than just techno barbarians?

#

I'm trying to find the info but can't

celest dome
#

Are you thinking of the Thunder Warrior ?

bright garden
#

Nay, thinking back to the old 1987 rogue trader and when things changed

storm jungle
#

It only started shifting gradually with Slaves to Darkness/Lost and the Damned etc

green loom
#

By like 3rd Ed most of the "core" identities were more or less established

#

I think

storm jungle
#

^

#

You can pinpoint it through the cover arts/style change

bright garden
#

Sooo were they always genetic super soldiers by 2nd Ed?

storm jungle
#

Yes.

#

Literally the only thing that changed was them being turned from roided out psychopaths to warrior monks

bright garden
#

🤔 🤔 🤔

dusk patrol
#

It’s actually nuts if you re read it how early some stuff was established which is a staple of the setting

bright garden
#

Yeeee

#

I got fascinated by halo devices

#

And went off on a tangent

tulip brook
#

Then they tried to fix it with reminding people they're roided psychopaths in most of the books

storm jungle
#

Yeah it became less "they are all from psychotic gangers" and more "they are all psychotic war criminals from a lot of cultures"

He has a 6+ intelligence, that’s smarter then entire gangs

seeing ogryn like this is pretty baller

i would love to think a army of ogryn can take out a couple space marines or three

Pretty sure he lead the first ogryn rebellion

oh shit, that sounds bad

Does he have powers

maybe because of shock troopers, or anything he hits makes a spark-

its got extra flaps

from the MKX helmet

wintry scarab
#

Yeah i know. And it has no halfmask. Its just a helmet. But why? Im so confused why the imperial fists have that in their upgrade kit? Ive never seen these before.

#

also i just found this

#

Is this real?

#

or fan made?

green loom
#

it was real

wintry scarab
#

I think that thing looks god awful ngl. Imo, the designers must have been on crack because that just looks like a furry in like the least cool way possible

It got replaced

iirc

In fairness, isn't Archaon more like Horus ?

No

Archaon is still around so closer to yabbadabbadon

More successful than Abaddon, more like Horus was though

humble shoal
#

Abaddon is the rc cola archaon

green loom
#

Nah Archaon mirrors abby in a few ways

#

More than he does Horus

In any care Archaon > Horus and Abadon

humble shoal

#

It's just a slighty heavier design of the helmet because the Fists are all about chonk and fortifications

I'm glad it's not, pretty much all the Firstborn variants of Space Marine helmets look bad

It is

#

Ceramite welding funny

dusk patrol
#

"Heresy Armor" typically using bonding studs like that since its not really one type of armor.

humble shoal
#

Yee

dusk patrol
#

Its just hodgepodge from the heresy cause they were running low

humble shoal
#

Thought it was for extra armor

dusk patrol
#

Its a repair technique.

rocky gale
#

I am immune to nostalgia, Firstborn look bad

wintry scarab
dusk patrol
#

It also does improve armor apparently iirc, it depends. But its more of an emergency fast way to repair power armor when you can't do it properly.

humble shoal
#

I see

wintry scarab
humble shoal
#

I like these helmets

rocky gale
#

You're being infected by the nostalgia of all the old doomers complaining about Primaris

Isn’t this the art where archon literally bodies sigmar

I dont like the primaris, not racist just dont like em.

Why does everything primaris have to be based of the damn maximus helmet!

Do black dragon primaris have the fun claws?

You just need to accept that Primais are cooler than you and they will replace you

humble shoal

The great replacement

green loom
#

It's a geneseed thing

humble shoal
#

Figured cawl wouldnt have access to black dragons geneseed

#

Since they dont really give their own geneseed to the mechanicus

#

Allegedly

green loom
#

The technique doesn't need new geneseed lol

#

They give them the tech and they can get to work

wintry scarab
dusk patrol
#

Not really they just weren't aware of them.

rocky gale
#

I'm overexaggerating my dislike for the old helmets, they're not all bad the mk5 and mk3 are alright, but like the mk6 and mk7 are just awful

What if no

I cant belive you said mk7 looks bad. Smh

Look at it

wintry scarab

#

It's actually a very well painted example

#

The helmet is just ugly

humble shoal
#

Mk2 has no neck movement lmao

#

Dumbest one is mk6

#

(Mk1 doesnt count its funny)

rocky gale
#

I have an intense hatred for the Beakie helmets

#

I want to see just some random marine with a thinder warrior helmet

wintry scarab
humble shoal
#

"Like where did you even get that"

rocky gale
#

and all of the grill faced helms except the mk5, it works on the mk5. On the others it just looks so stupid

rocky gale
#

I think it's awful

wintry scarab
humble shoal
#

All but beaks I like

green loom
#

Mk8 has the blocky things on the cheeks

#

7 just has cables

humble shoal
#

Mk2 would be my choice though

Or tubes wever

I didn't get any Sternguard but if I did, then those helmets would be used to feed the sprue goo

Also iron warriors make the mk3 work

They even osha compliant

wintry scarab
#

Imo the iron warriors look strange if they wear anything other than 2 or 3.

humble shoal
#

Yup

#

Cursed mk8 iron warrior

wintry scarab
#

I think they look weird if you put them in like general chaos armour as well. Not the biggest fan of those.

#

Imo this does not look right

rocky gale
#

It's the curse of being undivided, they are incredibly unlikely to get specific themed releases in 40k and even if they do it will be minor or incredibly delayed.

#

So how do orks get bigger and stronger as they fight?

#

Is it like a growth response from physical trauma or just orks that live long keep growing

queen laurel
#

They can get bigger both ways

misty vector
#

Ahhhh i see

#

do grots grow bigger too after winning fights?

dusk patrol
#

Not really

#

Being a grot sucks

queen laurel
#

a grot would rather run than fight and if they are going to fight it's because they have an advantage or inside a killa kan

dusk patrol
#

Orks already aren't concerned much for the lives of their comrades and grots even less so.

queen laurel
#

but being inside even a killa kan is not guaranteed to make them any braver

#

they have been known to run away from just being shot from out of nowhere

The harder you hit the orks the stronger they get

You can wipe their numbers out but they only get stronger

Orks lose a lot but they also learn a lot too

Yes that is in the lore.

AoS orks are OP as fuck

Im half-sure there was a lore point where Sigmar wrestled Gorkamorka in an armwrestling match

You can befriend them if you're you know belligerent enough and aggressive

Filthy friendship doesn't exist I hate xenos

crystal forum
#

i'm being recommended another video where a sci fi geek spends 40 minutes talking about how "it's not really fascism" in a lot of settings

#

why don't people ever talk about how megacorps in sci fi aren't "real capitalist empires" or whatever

storm jungle
#

Because people are stupid lol

#

40k fans in comparison are the absolute worst when saying the Imperium is not fascist. It literally passes every criteria regarding what makes a fascist factional body yet somehow uhhh

#

"Well its not the same because its also a theocracy"

#

okay buddy lol

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

People don't really care about being called a capitalist, but they do care about being called a Fascist, so they have to find ways to defend their favourite fascist groups by saying they're not really fascist.

storm jungle
#

^

#

Also they always assume you saying the Imperium is fascist is you also referring to them as one and that you are ruining their fun

#

Helldivers is literally about as in your face as you can get satire wise yet its playerbase also gets upset when you tell them this fact.

#

People are just stupid lol

rocky gale
#

The number of people who say things like "But the Helldivers trailer had an interracial couple, how could it be Fascist"

Yep. Literal morons lmao

I think the only thing more blatantly fascist in sci-fi setting then 40k I know of is the United empire from endless space

Lmfao

#

meanwhile Imperium

#

literally has concentration camps

rose thorn
#

Actually is United Empire or Horatio more blatantly facists

#

In Horatio you have as much rights as your ‘genetic purity’

#

So if you have 75% dna match to horatio prime you are allowed to talk to other species

#

Wiay no it was 82%

queen laurel
#

my god

#

These guys are giving the imperium a run for their money

rose thorn
#

Their entire gimmick is you can convert a species into horatio and get their benefits

#

So like, if you have 3 United empire, you can harvest their genetics and give all horatio a weaker version of the buff

rocky gale
#

Isn't that the one where everyone is just a clone of the leader?

rose thorn
#

Yea

#

In 2 the story is that Horatio Prime made 3 other Horatio primes before one just fucking bolts

#

So you send the story trying to determine who is the real horatio prime

#

Aka prove you are the best horatio

#

MAN I FORGOT ABOUT THE TREE POWPLE I LOVE THOSE SCOTTISH Trees

One of the horatio primes

queen laurel
#

Sheesh and I thought my ego was big

rose thorn
#

He does say he doenst want to kill everything not horatio

#

He says he just wants to make all life as perfect as him

#

And he doesn’t care if they don’t want to be perfect

#

God hes fucking insane

queen laurel

#

His end goal is into literally become a god

Ulgo lore
Location Krieg

They give Ulgo armor with gasmask. Said Ulgo not take it off. Felt scared for bit. Felt like small place, made Ulgo feel small. They tell Ulgo that Ulgo is bodyguarding Krieg commissar. They said not to let him die. Was very hard! Charged trench with tiny knife and shovel, Ulgo think they are crazy. Krieg commussar yell at Ulgo after mission. Dont remmember why, think is something about doing a good job... was weird little man. Then they sent Ulgo fight big bugs. Hated fighting bugs, taste bad and they burn you when they go squish! Was sent to... uh... dont remmember why Ulgo sent. All Ulgo remmember is big lazer cannon and heavy bolter! Made loud noises! Bugs were louder. OH YES Ulgo recieved medal! Metal ones! Metal medal Ulgo favorites! Wonder how big rest of Imperium is?

When fire began to rain from the sky and violence spread throughout their world, they knew their “Long Sleep” had to end. They woke up to play the role they were made for: act as the guardians of peace and harmony in the galaxy. Hoping, of course, that...

#

Best bois

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

It was way more advanced

#

in the past

#

the Vodyani are playing with The Endless's tech

#

its why they're capable of just removing peoples "soul?" from existance lol

green loom
#

Yeah it's the trope of the new races playing with the fallen empire's toys

#

Also half the races are a direct result of said empire

arctic talon
#

They're also a bunch of religous fanatics

#

what a big suprise I know

#

Oh there's also Samurai birds

queen laurel
green loom
#

Wolf is the academy as bad as the Sseth video says it is?

queen laurel
#

I think I just have a very low moral compass really

arctic talon
#

Awakening DLC

#

disable it

#

the race you get is cool

#

but dealing with the Academy in Awakening is ass

green loom
#

I see

rose thorn
#

didnt htey update it to nto be completely terrible?

arctic talon
#

Idk

#

they might have?

green loom
#

What's the deal with the Riftborn

arctic talon
#

They're from another dimension and their home dimension is dying

#

they play opposite day with planet habitability

#

they also have plans to turn the whole galaxy into something like their home dimension

queen laurel
#

They have access to fleets and a starting planet

arctic talon
#

like an entire invasion fleet?

#

idk

#

The cravers in combat absolutely shit on everyone when played right lol

#

but lore wise idk how effective they truly are

#

I mean yeah they're a living weapon but like

#

kind of hard to quantify what they'd do to people

green loom
#

They'd be one of those vaguely mentioned races that did a bunch of damage to the imperium with minimal effort before the imps went crisis mode to stop them

#

Think Rangdan

arctic talon
#

I will say guardsmen will have a horrible time

green loom
#

Are those United Empire marines?

arctic talon
#

Yes

green loom
#

They look neat

arctic talon
#

Cravers can also integrate into normal society rarely

#

which is funny

queen laurel
# arctic talon

Looking at its artificial muscle structure I would say it would have decent physical strength enough to maybe go toe to toe with a Nob

green loom
#

What's the deal with The Lost

arctic talon
#

they're just extremely wreckless

#

seeing as they run by the fact that there's always more Cravers in reserve

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

lol

#

They're also a bio weapon who's creator left

queen laurel
#

so i would say they would do pretty decently

#

Until they get punched in the throat

arctic talon
#

also its even funnier that Cravers know they're evil

#

they just don't care

#

they're designed to be terror weapons lol

green loom
#

"Caring isn't in my design description"

queen laurel
#

simply put they do not give a shit

#

And do what they are made to do

arctic talon
#

No more of a "We're going to break your legs and enjoy the screams"

queen laurel
#

a Craver might even respect an ork to a certain degree

arctic talon
#

also their reaction to god coming back is "we're going to eat them"

green loom
#

What's the deal with those guys

arctic talon
#

Cravers?

#

or The Lost

green loom
#

Lost

plush mason
#

endless space lore :o

rocky gale
#

The Vodyani seem pretty cool

arctic talon
#

The Lost were a species made of Dust, the Endless uh

#

harvested The Lost to Extinction

green loom
#

As you do

arctic talon
#

during the Endless's Civil war

#

The Lost are still "alive" so to speak

#

and the 2 main quest endings of Endless space 2 are either finishing what The Endless started by making sure The Lost can never reform, OR Reviving The Lost

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Riftborn are funny

green loom
#

What's their dela

arctic talon
#

They want to find a new home

#

their home dimension is dying

plush mason
#

they are from another dimention and are only in the game's one because something is infecting their home dimention

arctic talon
#

also @queen laurel Cravers have a handheld energy weapons of sorts

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

ah

#

nvm then

queen laurel
#

But they don't seem to have any type of assault vehicle

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Virtual Endless

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

they're "insectoid" and most of them can't think for themselves really

plush mason
arctic talon
#

won is a relative term

#

but yes

queen laurel
#

Combined with their physical strength I would say they are pretty dangerous even for a physically robust opponent like an ogryn

arctic talon
#

The Virtual Endless pretty much used the Cravers as a mass extermination tool against the Concrete Endless

queen laurel
#

If they are not any stronger than that they are sure as shit faster

arctic talon
#

the Concrete Endless would do something and kill a bunch of virtual endless

#

anyways I'm pretty sure they're extinct now

plush mason
#

i think they are now dust

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

yes

plush mason
#

yes

#

thats the whole lore behind the heroes

queen laurel
#

shit this setting keeps on getting better and better

queen laurel
#

truly the highlight of life

green loom
#

If you don't fancy the space one there's always the Civ clone

rocky gale
#

They revealed the warscroll for Krethusa, it's not great

arctic talon
#

oof

rocky gale
#

Her stats are pretty mid and her main ability can only be used when she's within 6" of a Cauldron of Blood, which itself is a £50 model

arctic talon
#

ew

rocky gale
#

and even then she can't use that main ability on basically half the units in the DoK range

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Basically

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

I really hope we see more DoK reveals that make her not awful, but like as it stands she isn't great, the best thing about her are the buffs and they don't apply to half the army roster

queen laurel
#

Does he hit like a double decker truck

rocky gale
#

Yes he does

#

He is great in melee, he's got good spells, he self heals, he has multiple abilities which buff allies as well as abilities which make enemies weaker.

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

He slams it hard

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Yea, he can mess things up

queen laurel
#

Yeah he is definitely a monster

rocky gale
#

Yep he's dps, buff and debuff, all in one

rose thorn
# rocky gale

I imagine a shadow elf box should be dropping soon with a supplement

rose thorn
rocky gale
#

and her ability being tied to the Cauldron of Blood is so odd

#

Like that's the most khainite model in the army

#

But her whole thing is she worships Morai-Heg and not Khaine

rose thorn
#

Isn’t the lore saying it’s a cauldron of shadows

#

Like she has

#

I mean

rocky gale
#

Oh yea in the lore/art it's a cauldron of Shadows, but the rules it's just a standard Cauldron of Blood

rose thorn
#

Maybe in the split they will add a ‘x kit by y’ model or like,

#

New kit?

rocky gale
#

Maybe, she just really needs something, because so far it's very half baked

rose thorn
#

Yea

#

I’d hope for shadow elf box tbh

#

The same thing happened with the FoC hero

#

He was just a shitty spell caster

#

And then bam

#

Army

rocky gale
#

Like her boxset has her with Sisters of Slaughter, when in lore the Sisters of Slaughter are like Uber Khainites that even other Daughters of Khaine look at and go "maybe calm down a bit"

#

Only time will tell if it improves

rose thorn
#

Oh the painted black ones?

#

I didn’t realize those were those

#

Actually most of the Dawn bringer boxes have been weird

#

Seeems like it’s just over stock attached to a new character

rocky gale
#

Yea I suppose the same was true with the FEC box, it was like one new character and then the ancient ghoul models

rose thorn
#

the old models are very usable in foc,

#

to be fair i imagine the entire foc fans will have a melt down if theri 8 k points of the same 5 models were removed

rocky gale
#

Fair, I just wish they made their new Cryptguard battleline by default

#

Rather than having them only be Battleline in Morgaunt

#

Because having Crypt Ghouls as the only default battleline means that even as a new player you're forced to start collecting them

arctic talon
#

wait are cryptguard not battle line?

#

wtf lol

rocky gale
#

They're only battleline for Morgaunt armies

wintry scarab
#

Are psykers that serve in the militarum stronger than our psykers?

rocky gale
#

Depends

#

Wyrdvane Psykers are probably weaker than us, I reckon we'd be about par with the Primaris Psykers though

bright garden
#

Seems pretty on par with simple rank and file psykers

rocky gale
# arctic talon wait are cryptguard not battle line?

Crypt Flayers are Battleline in a Blisterskin army, Crypt Horrors are Battleline in a Hollowmourne army, Cryptguard are Battleline in a Morgaunt army, Terrorgheists/Zombie Dragons are Battleline in a Gristlegore army and Morbheg Knights are Battleline if the General is an Abhorrant Gorewarden. Other than that only Crypt Ghouls are Battleline by default.

rose thorn

#

I'm sure this is an exceedingly dumb question, but are there cadian tempestus scions, or would they just be cadian shock troopers?

rocky gale
#

The Cadian version of Tempestus Scions are the Kasrkin

#

Tempestus Scions however are orphans from the Schola Progenium like Commissars are

#

So no, Cadians have their own version of Scions and the Scions themselves are raised to be neutrally homogeneous rather than have any paticular homeworld

#

Although in rare cases an Inquisitor can nominate someone to undergo training with the Scions, but the other recruits who grew up together will see them as an outsider

#

So while the answer is no, it's also potentially yes

arctic talon
#

And do not go to the schola

#

Cadian orphans also generally get drafted so they also generally don't go to the Schola

terse elbow
#

Aight, thanks guys!

#

Is there any significant difference between Kasrkin and Tempestus Scion armor? Other then aesthetics I mean.

tulip brook
#

virtually the same gear and same stats in tabletop

orchid lark
#

Kasr is the big homes of Cadia, like the compounds

#

Forts and what not

#

Kasrkins are the best of the Cadian Interior guard, and to have them be ordered to be deployed elsewhere is an honour for them and whoever is getting them as reinforcements

arctic talon
#

but thats more of a difference in doctrine

bold wren
#

So apparently the Moebian Domain has existed prior to the existence of Darktide

rose thorn
bold wren
#

I didn't know about the Cadian 802nd but they apparently were in the Moebian Domain at the fall of cadia and the opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum

#

There is just so many obscure regiments

outer kernel
#

if the emperor is the brightest human why did he not stockpile more dark age tech is there canon reasoning for this or just left kinda obscure

#

And another question, the shadow in the warp for the tyranids. Do black stones cause any issues for them or does it make its aoe stronger?

slow roost
#

So…why does everyone think Perturabo is a bitch?

rose thorn
#

But

He is very good at his job

orchid lark
#

He is the token intellectual stuck with morons character

rose thorn
#

18 int 2 wisdom

#

Tbh I’d be pissy if my ability was to see the most efficient way to break anything

orchid lark
#

Except he didn’t have that

#

Perty was a super intelligent

#

He could look at the internals of a machine for a minute and immediately blueprint it out in his head

#

He was just relegated to a legion who did shit jobs

#

If he had given the chance to just talk with ferrus and magnus more, the other two NERDs

#

I think he would’ve been okay

#

And also not do the shittiest wars

queen laurel
celest dome
#

Perturabo was a skilled mechanist, but not as much as some of his brothers. But his legion wasn't relegated to the shit task legion. He made it like that. His sister even say as much before he kill her.

unkempt dove
#

he kinda had a martyr complex of some sort

orchid lark
#

That boy aint right

burnt maple
storm jungle
#

Its more that people tend to forget DAOT tech works on the logic of "POCKET SAND" where it only exists when the plot demands it lol

#

the entire point of DAOT in the timeline is for people to have it as mcguffin's in current 40k because "oh I just found it" lol

orchid lark
#

Some space marines had “daot” guns for legion commanders and what not

#

A fancy way of saying we are special boys

arctic talon
#

Archeotech weapon

orchid lark
#

Nah thats the stuff from Rimworld

arctic talon
#

lol

#

According to GW every admech pistol is an archeotech pistol

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much

#

"Where did you get that DAOT item?"

#

"Lmao"

#

"That doesnt answer my question"

#

"Yes"

lunar harness
#

shout out to all the primarchs who got ACTUAL pocket sand in their eyes

orchid lark
queen laurel
storm jungle
#

You joke but this happens more than you'd think lol

queen laurel
lunar harness
#

Helsreach...

#

for the imperium it's either a daot out of nowhere

#

or we crash a 10000 year old irreplaceable super ship with 300000 people onboard

#

one of the two

arctic talon
orchid lark
#

Crashing the ship is cheaper

#

Leagues of Votann yelling out that they are the Dark of Age Technology like Palpatine

arctic talon
#

they

#

are using bolters 💀

orchid lark
#

Fancier bolters

#

Also we still have no fucking lore about those goddamn manlets

#

GW literally just gave us, they exist and left

lunar harness
storm jungle
#

"bolters"

#

bruh all of it is imperial tech

#

💀

arctic talon
#

THEY'RE FUCKING BOLTERS

storm jungle
#

This is why Van Saar is better

arctic talon
#

I HATE VOTANWEAPONS RAAAAAAAAAAAAA

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

ADjwuaqidaw

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Same

arctic talon
#

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY GET BOLTERS

orchid lark
#

How do they workfl

#

Fuck you lmao

arctic talon
#

Okay let me specify something

#

I hate most of the votann weapons

#

some of them are cool as shit

#

but I don't like how 90% of them are just rehashed existing weapons

lunar harness
#

what would you have them use? they can't use lasers because that's also imperium themed

arctic talon
#

Grav weaponry

orchid lark
#

Pulse guns

#

Like the tau

#

Oh wait

lunar harness
#

yea that could work

arctic talon
#

Not pulse imo

#

They already use Ion

lunar harness
#

they do use pulse weapons

arctic talon
#

do they?

lunar harness
#

one of their weapon options is pulse

arctic talon
#

oh

#

god they really are rehashed everything

lunar harness
#

and the codex its better than tau pulse because they sold the technology to the tau xD

orchid lark
#

They should use like mono monecular weapons

#

Oh wait thats eldar

arctic talon
#

oh you know what

#

flechette weaponry

lunar harness
#

that's not space dwarf enough lol

orchid lark
#

Like Orks

arctic talon
#

Orks don't use flechette weapons

orchid lark
arctic talon
lunar harness
#

orks and militarum should has flachette stuff

storm jungle
#

Not flechette, i got a better one

#

has anyone here uh

arctic talon
#

Actually wait I forgot

storm jungle
#

played Overwatch in the past lmao

arctic talon
#

admech have a flechette gun

queen laurel
lunar harness
#

symmetra beams??

orchid lark
celest dome
storm jungle
#

Just do what Torbjorn did

arctic talon
#

oh

storm jungle
#

magma-hot rivet guns

queen laurel
#

after all every ork weapon is customized to the shit

arctic talon
#

the molten metal guns

storm jungle
#

thats grimdark as shit lol

arctic talon
#

that would be cool

celest dome
#

Slag Shotgun/gun would be great

storm jungle
#

imagine being shot by those things

lunar harness
#

yea that would neat

arctic talon
#

Anyways my main issue with votann is just they barely have anything original about them

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

nothing feels distinctly them

orchid lark
#

Kinda fruity, shooting hot stuff out to other men, Dilara

queen laurel
#

magma tastes funny

celest dome
lunar harness
#

but they want like an AI / nasapunk theme

#

they didn't just make space dwarves...

arctic talon
#

they didn't though

#

is the issue

#

lol

#

they went with like 3 dif themes at once

lunar harness
#

i think that would have been better honestly hahaha

arctic talon
#

and had nothing unifying

lunar harness
#

if they just did space dwarves

arctic talon
#

If they had just gone all in on the Retro Sci-fi stuff or All in on space dwarfs

#

it would be more cohesive

orchid lark
#

They should space blunderbusses

arctic talon
#

but they didn't

lunar harness
#

UMM LAND TRAINS???

orchid lark
arctic talon
#

like this is Space Dwarf

arctic talon
lunar harness
celest dome
celest dome
arctic talon
#

I never said it was good

#

I don't like the Einhiyr stuff

lunar harness
arctic talon
#

lol

lunar harness
#

even though that's squats, not votann

arctic talon
#

stuff like this is nice as well

celest dome
#

The Berserker is what I dislike the most tbh

arctic talon
#

same with this

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

oh god

#

I can't unsee it now

#

what have you DONE FUCK

#

He's got the fucking Khadron masks lmao

queen laurel
#

Get Runted

lunar harness
celest dome
#

The Pseudo Rune priest I dislike too

arctic talon
#

Hearthkyn I like a good bit as well

shadow plover
arctic talon
#

he doesn't fit with the rest of their range

#

imo

shadow plover
#

What the hell, it's pretty much the best mini in their range

arctic talon
#

I disagree best one is the Iron-Master

#

by far

lunar harness
#

i can't tell if i like this or hate it

shadow plover
#

The vehicles are very nice

arctic talon
#

THIS IS A KIN

#

I really like the Votann units with coats

#

tbh

lunar harness
#

i think i like it as like a corporate mars exploration vehicle from a cyberpunk style future

#

idk about as 40k

arctic talon
#

I think it works in 40k

#

within the context of the Votann

celest dome
#

Space Cowboy/Explorator Dwarf is what I like

lunar harness
#

i think the grav bike guys should have been 6 wheelers too

#

like the rest of their vehicles

#

so it has a theme

arctic talon
#

I agree

#

or the other vehicles should have hovered

celest dome
#

Trikes were not a bad choice, the Squats had them

arctic talon
#

The trikes are cool

lunar harness
arctic talon
#

I think if they had wheels they might line up better with the other 2 vehicles

lunar harness
#

this is cool as hell 😎

#

little stompy Boi

#

he grumpy

celest dome
#

I want to see what a Votaan Walker will be like

arctic talon
#

bigger iron kin

lunar harness
#

make it a big robot

#

they use true AI

#

that's what i want to see more of

#

that's what's unique about them in 40k tbh

#

they are the only ones who use true AI

arctic talon
#

Tau also do

lunar harness
#

I want to see some brain in a jar 50s style robots

arctic talon
#

though their AI is def

#

less smart

#

but its getting there lol

lunar harness
#

nah, they have kin that are fully AI

queen laurel
#

Votaan might be the only way we can bring back the castigator Titan or at least something close to it

#

A fully AI driven Titan

arctic talon
#

who are super cool

#

I love their heads

#

look at them

#

they're adorable

queen laurel
lunar harness
#

votann ironkin navigators

arctic talon
#

Wayfinders are cool

#

I just want more Votann stuff in general

lunar harness
#

imagine not using decadent noble psychics ridden with rampent mutations who risk total insanity and the death of your entire crew every time you enter the warp.

#

how... primitive
