[thorn zenith]

I will not stand for any slander upon the mutating waifu

[lunar harness]

me neither

[rose thorn]

We… didn’t get to vote on the books right?

This feels rigged as fuck lol

[queen laurel]

i'm surprised Warboss even got into the top 10

[rose thorn]

I’m surprised they counted a release as its own book

Im@surprised the end and the death part 3 is on here

It’s so bad

[queen laurel]

yeah this list feels like it should be hit with a hammer more

[rose thorn]

Also notice how none of these are AOS books

[queen laurel]

All of them warhammer 40K yeah

[rose thorn]

Fishy af

[queen laurel]

no one gives a shit about AOS

[rose thorn]

Nah AOS gets loads of sales

It’s on par with 40k actually

[queen laurel]

I think it has to do with the fact that GW might receive the screaming wrath of the fandom for including something that is not warhammer

[rose thorn]

Let me grab some AOS books that released last year

[queen laurel]

the hate for AOS still runs deep

[rose thorn]

Also, ALL FO THOSE ARE IMPERIUM BOOKS EXCEPT WARBOSS LAMO

[queen laurel]

yeah they don't separate this franchise to franchise right

[rose thorn]

Did we even get to vote on this?

[queen laurel]

like warhammer 40k should have its own ranking while aos should have its own

they don't do that

[rose thorn]

Blight slayer was good

OMFG

HOW IS GOD EATER’S SON NOT ON HERE

[queen laurel]

GW often doesn't try to interfere with the votes but they will still try to play favourites every now and again

[rose thorn]

yeah but, was there a ‘vote now’ page or anything

I believe son of the forest got first place

Every YouTuber under the sun hyped that shit

[queen laurel]

is the book even as good as the hyping it's gotten

seems like a load of crap to me

[rose thorn]

Oh I missed the vote

[queen laurel]

Yeah reader's choice vote

[rose thorn]

This.

Isn’t even the

I mena

This weird asss book each month

[queen laurel]

yeah imperium fans dominate it seems

[rose thorn]

I’m calling bullshit here this feels like gw trying not to piss off imperium fans

Oh god eaters son was 2022 my bad

[queen laurel]

wow two Mike Brook books

5th place and 1st place

People really like this guy huh

if he wrote the son of the forest then it might be pretty good then i guess

[rose thorn]

Dynasty of monsters was amazing,

Why did they count the Cypus Cain rereleases is my problem

Those weren’t written and publish in 2022 it was before like half of the 40k fans were even born

[queen laurel]

oh it definitely is

they will do anything to appease their money makers after all

[rose thorn]

Was cypher even liked by the public?

[queen laurel]

space marine fans imperial guard fans you know the lot

[rose thorn]

Gene father was good

[rocky gale]

Hey atleast I was right that End and the Death pt3 wouldn't win because people would split their votes between all three parts

[rose thorn]

LMAO

Wasn’t the end and the death 3 terrible?

[rocky gale]

No idea I don't read HH, but I've heard mixed though. Some people love the ending and some think it was incredibly lame.

[coarse pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5hY33IirG8

i didn't expect this

[tulip brook]

I don't mind the ending except for Erebus copypasta

[green loom]

They announced it months ago, but it's pretty cool!

[wise ravine]

Don’t know if this was already posted, if so sorry for the ♻️

[tulip brook]

What's "everything"? Titus being ultramarine?

[rocky gale]

Basically just confirming what happened with Titus between the two games

[tulip brook]

Valrak clickbait works against him fr. I don't even want to open his videos

[rocky gale]

Same

[wise ravine]

But did you know the mystery was revealed?

Everybody clickbaits nowadays so I’m not really bothered by it.

[storm jungle]

Also Valrak fans are basically people that just consume space marine slop 24/7 so its mostly just content made for them

[rocky gale]

Says the person with a Valrak emote

[gray umbra]

Space marine fans:

https://tenor.com/view/la-creatura-dog-angry-mad-angy-gif-23397389

[rose thorn]

labotomize space marine fans pls

exclusively space marine fans have a next tier versionof brain rot

[queen laurel]

I'm afraid lobotomizing them would only make them even more aggressive

Which is a feat in of itself

[tulip brook]

we are all space marine fans in a way I don't mind as long as they don't start how they will save imperium or sth

[rose thorn]

Me when black Templars :

Literally the only black Templar super fan I have ever seen who isn’t like completely insane is eon of battles

[storm jungle]

I made it

do you think Valrak would ever include something like that in his own server lmao

[rocky gale]

Understandable then, Sus withdrawn

[rose thorn]

Valrak is the guy who circle jerks about dorn right

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes the prime Imperial Fists slopper

this guy is the definition of a living soyjak

[queen laurel]

Valrak be giving the imperial fist the fortress builder tower slopper 10,000 everyday

[burnt maple]

[storm jungle]

Big 40k content slop creator

[rose thorn]

Shit

[storm jungle]

hHahaHAHEIAGDIEBDIADNROAL

I hate how they almost all look similiar

holy shit dude

[burnt maple]

Wait, is that Bricky?

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

i Call it the warhammer content creator head shape

[rose thorn]

POV the gw store has 3 units built from 1 kit

[green loom]

Yeah

[rose thorn]

Nah I don’t think so

Wiat

Really

[green loom]

Yeah

[rose thorn]

He ain’t the worseeeeee

[queen laurel]

This is bricky

[green loom]

I'd argue Bricky doesn't even make 40k content

[queen laurel]

yeah he practically abandoned it now

very rarely does he come back

[rose thorn]

Bricky like

[green loom]

Well even when he did it was more vaguely 40k themed memes

[burnt maple]

^

[rose thorn]

The guy who did the warhammer vidoes

[queen laurel]

yep

[burnt maple]

Good stuff for beginners, methinks.

[rose thorn]

He literlaly had a podcast to 40k

Has*

[green loom]

AR is literally 2 morons yapping about something completely unrelated to the topic they're discussing

[rose thorn]

Well co hosts

[queen laurel]

Yeah all of his warhammer content is basically just good for beginners

[green loom]

Correction

Actually nvm it's about that

[burnt maple]

He doesn't try to go into specifics lore bits, gimmicks, like "did you know this ONE eldar mentioned at page 474 of the 75th book of 16th BL writer..."

[rose thorn]

Fr

He kinda just quotes codexes and that’s it

[green loom]

He doesn't go into specifics
Any specifics

[storm jungle]

^

Dont forget his co-host

"WOAH"

"JEEEZSUS"

[green loom]

To the point he makes videos about characters

[storm jungle]

"WOW REALLY"

[rose thorn]

LMAO

Okay yeha that’s fair

[storm jungle]

lol

[green loom]

Where he didn't so much as look them up on fandom or something

90 minute commentary on Cato based on just memes

[storm jungle]

I still remember his Lamenter videos that he made because he got paid for it

and he just admits he mostly has nothing for half the video

gottem

[burnt maple]

Regardless.

[green loom]

"These guys are so sad, they like, like people, and are sad, and unlucky
They got killed here, and just to emphasize their bad luck, they got killed again and were told to fuck off, they're so sad dude, but they cared about civilians"

[rose thorn]

He isn’t terrible, but I love podcasts about people sorta talking about warhammer

[queen laurel]

three of them are pretty bad

but

we know who takes the cake

[rose thorn]

Wiay you didn’t include the ultimate clickbait Australian

[queen laurel]

i consider him above his own league

up There with arch

[rose thorn]

Genuinely I think he is one of the worst 40k content creators

Besides the ones that are literal pedos and Nazis

[queen laurel]

yeah he is on his own league of garbage

At least the three that I sent have some redeeming qualities

that guy?

I would rather go to a craver infested planet than to listen to his videos

[rose thorn]

How do you make your entire channel’s humor cussing while talking like an Australian government Twitter account

Literally has 1 tone of voice

[queen laurel]

His entire Patreon was just

[rose thorn]

Also brickey had good opinions and doesn’t shit on factions because they aren’t his favorite

[queen laurel]

yeah like I said the three of them have at least some kind of redeeming quality stopping them from being just as worse as major kill

[burnt maple]

I find Bricky cool.

[rose thorn]

Who’s that guy that literally made an hour long video talking about how he thinks AOS is terrible

[orchid lark]

I feel like thats like 4 different people by now

[queen laurel]

ah that was Hilarious

[rocky gale]

Most prominent one I know of was Zorpazorp, made a massive video essay about how much he hated GW for axing Fantasy and how awful AoS is, but then deleted the video when he started actually partnering with GW and they started sending him free stuff.

[tough haven]

Very much so

Just fuckin tossed him

[queen laurel]

That was also after straight up breaking the chest of said marine with a punch

[rose thorn]

Side note I really hope the darkaoth book is good and not just Norse mythology fan fiction like space wolves

[storm jungle]

[celest dome]

SW are less Norse Mythos and more Moon Moon level of wolves presence

[dusk patrol]

They’re definitely Norse

Like yeah the wolf stuff is overdone a lot especially for more recent stuff but there’s still a lot of Norse stuff in there

[storm jungle]

He’s basically exactly what I wanted, detailed but nothing flashy, just a solid model

The squint I don’t love but I don’t hate it either and I’d probably just give him a helmet anyways

[versed ledge]

About the implants, did he lose ears or something, or are they just grimdark headsets?

[arctic talon]

Prolly some sort of "uplink"

or a vox unit

[hallow saddle]

he's iron hands, you can assume it's a bionic augmentation

bionic ears

[rocky gale]

Iron Ears

[storm jungle]

Last time I went into one someone wanted that hyper racist faction back

[rocky gale]

"Why do AoS fans hate us, we have done literally nothing to their shit game that has no fans and is utterly terrible, why are they so hostile to us" basically the post summed up

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[rocky gale]

and then the entire comment section was "They're threatened and defensive because they know GW won't split their resources between two fantasy games and when the time comes it won't be ours that's on the chopping block"

[rose thorn]

[arctic talon]

The main warhammer fantasy subreddit

Is sane

The old world one feels like it’s made up of unhinged schizoposters

[rocky gale]

In my experience WHFB fans are the most toxic community in the Warhammer collective, yet now they're acting like they've no idea why the AoS fandom wouldn't like them.

[rose thorn]

Boomers….

[rocky gale]

I'd probably have better odds talking to a Black Templar fan with a Space Marine pfp who was actively holding a shovel, than a WHFB fan.

[rose thorn]

Instead of iron warriors teaming up with death guard to make a computer virus they turned to Slaanesh? Smh

Trying to stela@gulliman’s credit card info

[celest dome]

Could have the bot block "https: //discord.com/invite/"
In all channels except #📌communities ?

[rocky gale]

Damnit I keep missing the porn bots

[rose thorn]

gw fucked up the store so bad the image quality is terrible

[shadow grove]

Did angron want to keep the butchers nails on or could big e not remove them without killing angron

Cause I remember reading in false gods that angron wanted to keep them in but I've heard conflicting things

[dusk patrol]

He eventually became dependant on them

But it wasn't an option anyways

[shadow grove]

I see

[bright garden]

In Master of Mankind, there was a flashback where removing the butcher's nail would result in Angy's death

That being said, Angy's feelings around the Butcher's Nail is all sorts of conflicted

Like Eternal said, he did developed a dependance on it amongst other things like wanting it to kill him and it not letting him feel anything positive outside of rage induced battle

[unkempt dove]

i always felt its kinda dumb that one of ZE EMPRAH'S PRIMARCHS can be done in by such primitive tech

like didn't arngron survive getting stepped on by a titan, but can't yank out some brain cables and use some space brain surgery to fix it

[queen laurel]

Brain Lobotomization is going to do numbers on anyone

And the nails that was attached to him wasn't made for his mind specifically so they just randomly stick it in there like a knife getting stabbed into flesh

that's literally the reason why he lost his powers

[unkempt dove]

primarchs go through such legendary shit that i feel that you could blow half their brains out and they could probably somehow heal from it

[celest dome]

Primarch still are living people, or tools for the Emperor
A bullet to the head will still kill them

[bright garden]

Heh Vulkan

But ye, mostly human

[celest dome]

Vulkan is a Perpetual, he hardly count

[arctic talon]

Okay for one it isn't primative tech, the nails angron got were from the Dark Age of Technology

the Nails in general were derived from DAOT stuff

but Angron got some very nice ones

[bright garden]

Yea, Primarchs arn't Orks, see Ferrus

[queen laurel]

and they are usually designed to be human sized

[bright garden]

If they really wanted to, they could probably write the Nails as removeable, but just as believable that it isn't

I think its okay as is

[celest dome]

Are Primarch heads much bigger than normal humans ?

[queen laurel]

yeah

i mean i would assume because well look at the size of them

and their brain is probably a bit more different than usual

[celest dome]

But to the point where they would need specialized injectors ? Like helmets obv but for something that has to enter and pierce the skull it should be fine

[tulip brook]

Apparently it wasn't fine. It's said that they have different physiology so I guess they opened up his head just to find a totally different brain with extra pieces and structure

They went full painboy on his head

[green loom]

I love unoriginal 40k channels that get popular and perpetuate the awful memes for another 4 years!!!

[dusk patrol]

That’s weird because I actually don’t care for those at all

[storm jungle]

Shame that 95% of the fandom does

[wintry scarab]

Is the reason why this captain has a veteran helmet because hes first company?

[rocky gale]

He'd be a veteran but not Captain of the First Company, the Captain of the 1st company Ultramarines is Severus Agemman who is typically portrayed in Terminator armour

In fact the Terminator Captain in the Leviathan box is supposed to represent Severus Agemman

[wintry scarab]

They call the figure a "captain" in the title on their store so i got confused.

[rocky gale]

Yea he is a Captain

It's just complicated with First Founding Chapters because they're usually so well documented in the lore so basically every Captain for the Ultramarines is a named character with their own lore

But my guess would be he's a 1st Company Veteran who's became a Captain for another Company

[orchid lark]

he carries veteran colours, because he earned it, he's a good boy

much like how a lot of Blood Angels and their captains and lieutenants and sergeants have gold, because they earned the veteran rights

bone and black for the Dark Angels, White and Silvers for Iron Hand and Raven Guards, so on and so forth

[still cove]

Oh that would be so damn good then

[crisp heath]

I always imagined it was frankincense

Admech do have exhaust pipes that lace the exhaust with incense, but as far as I know most of their incense isn't mechanical itself

[storm jungle]

Just normal incense.

my memorie is kinda foggy but it was the words barers or the iron warriors homeworld the emperor raized to the ground?

[storm jungle]

Word Bearers subjugated/decorated a planet dubbed Monarchia in the name of the Emperor before he found out and burnt it down

their homeworld Colchis got nuked during the Heresy by the Lion since they were deep-end traitors at that point lol

[shell mason]

Yeah, he made them kneel and watch him do it, with his psychic powers

[storm jungle]

Yes.

[shell mason]

alright kool

[storm jungle]

you can also look up the Razing of Monarchia on the lexicanum goes a bit more into it

[queen laurel]

Ah the old legend of the emperor instead of acting sensibly deciding to burn down the problem

[rocky gale]

Also the Iron Warriors homeworld of Olympia was nuked but by the Iron Warriors themselves

After the Heresy the Iron Warriors fell back and established an Empire around Olympia and basically entrenched themselves against Loyalist attacks for years, until finally when Olympia was about to fall the Iron Warriors detonated all their own warheads on the planet as a final fuck you.

[storm jungle]

[rocky gale]

We aren't really sure when she was born though, like the 4th sphere expansion fleet encountered it, but so did Shadowsun when she was a child, so it's possible they're implying she's been around for a while, but just not very powerful or present until recently.

[bright garden]

Oh true

It is very smol

There's an excerpt that's been posted before about a Corrupted Knight or Titan during the Horus Heresy who has a moment of revelation where she see's how corrupted she's become and how the rest of her crew are all dead and rotting but refuses to accept it and shakes it off and goes back to the delusion that she is perfectly fine and the crew are all still alive and talking to her.

[rocky gale]

You hear a lot of horror stories in the Warhammer community

Remember one where a guy was eating a KFC bucket while playing a game without wiping his hands or anything, so was just covering all of his models in chicken grease, then after the game he picked up the models and cleaned them by putting them into his mouth and licking them.

[outer wave]

Model lickin' good

[plush mason]

hey you still have that meme about the sources for 40k? the one from the family guy Ark episode?

[storm jungle]

Had to google lol

[plush mason]

ty

[versed ledge]

Why, just why

Are sweaty gamers that sweaty to the point toilets are a foreign concept?

[rocky gale]

They're too busy grinding

[bright garden]

Some worshippers of chaos arn't even aware

Granpa Nurgle would be proud

Chaos is subtle and insidious

[bold wren]

40k isn't even the first and people are surprised

1984 is satire but they banned it because people took it too seriously

It's a satire and people take it as word.

Yes the book was a satire on the politics and people take it as word but every satire has some truth behind it.

[arctic talon]

So Vraks book

amiright

[dusk patrol]

Soon™️

[arctic talon]

What are peoples reactions gona be to Krieg retrating(as they should) from literal melt gas

[dusk patrol]

They won’t, cause they’re not gonna read it

[bold wren]

They probably wouldn't be if they used plastic

Or rubber

[arctic talon]

huh

When I say melt gas I mean it melted tanks

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-funny-wtf-jesse-walter-white-gif-25245234

[bold wren]

Yeah but acid cannot get through plastic

[arctic talon]

Its not acid

its some warp plague of death

that literally ate through metal, people and anything inbetween

[bold wren]

I mean it's not that hard

Eating through WW2 levels of tank armor

[dusk patrol]

They don’t have WW2 levels of tanks armor

WW2 tanks aren’t making their tanks the same as the guard is using

[bold wren]

Metal Coffins

If anything Leman Russes are worse then WW2 tanks expect with guns

[dusk patrol]

Uh huh

[bold wren]

But all are not made equal and up held to the same constructs

[dusk patrol]

Next you’re gonna tell me melee combat 30,000 years in the future and giant shoulder pauldrons aren’t realistic

And other very notable and interesting observations

[bold wren]

The tanks would be obsolete if anything

[dusk patrol]

Which no one has made before

[bold wren]

A Leman Russ is more comparable to a T-34 then a Sherman

[dusk patrol]

We don’t actually have to compare them at all

Like yeah 40k tank designs aren’t super realistic or make the most sense

What a fresh and new take

[bold wren]

If anything they are

[dusk patrol]

[bold wren]

They're more accurate to smooth bore

[dusk patrol]

Ok

[bold wren]

I don't know why realism makes everyone so mad things don't exist without simple comparisons

Comparisons makes them far easier to understand

[dusk patrol]

Because they’re nonsensical

They don’t make sense

It’s a style

They don’t even operate anything like these, it’s the same reason we just hand wave how goofy the design for power armor is really and ignore how it could be much more sensical

Chainswords make 0 sense

It’s a terrible idea

[bold wren]

But it would be a Char B the tank looks exact

[dusk patrol]

And it’s boring as hell and overdone

Yes they’re obviously aping some actual tank designs

[bold wren]

It's not boring though realistic designs aren't just lame. You really just underestimate good designs

[dusk patrol]

But it’s all over the place and it’s silly, it’s dumb to try to break it down on a realistic level and just take it from how we’re given in the lore and excepts

[dusk patrol]

Where did I say that?

The point is they’re not going for realism

It’s an aesthetic

40k is rule of cool

[bold wren]

The Leman Russ is a WW2 tank put into sci-fi.

[dusk patrol]

Sometimes some stuff makes more sense than others but it’s insanely boring parsing it down

[bold wren]

I mean but not exclusive to 40k

[dusk patrol]

And it’s way overdone and boring

[bold wren]

The Leman Russ is a real tank design and the history behind tank designs are pretty interesting. But the thing is reality makes interesting concepts, just have to look at the more interesting things in life. Realism doesn't hurt for world building, but that's about it

[rose thorn]

[rose thorn]

My af route part about dark tide is when gulliman darktided all over the room

[hasty oyster]

wtf does that even mean

[rose thorn]

I- thought this was DMs

My favorite part about dark tide

Is when gulliman said ‘it’s dark time’ and dark tied all over the room

[rose thorn]

40k Brain rot

Warhammer had RUINED Latin

[crisp heath]

my opinion on IG tanks

I like when they are box with guns on them

[orchid lark]

Malcador Defender

That sure is a box with guns

[crisp heath]

The thing is with a Baneblade, the guns are all there. It's just a pile of guns on treads.

With a Malcador Defender? There's always more guns. You don't know where their coming from. The closer you look, ope, there's more guns!

[bold wren]

I would prefer combi weapons

[wintry scarab]

Is Titus being demoted in the second game?

[queen laurel]

yeah

[wintry scarab]

L, for him

[queen laurel]

after that whole fiasco with the chaos corruption crap he is apparently surviving

just deemed it fine to just demote him

[dusk patrol]

It’s more his position is filled and they can’t just give him a new captaincy when there isn’t one open, plus he’s been gone for hundreds of years and likely needs to re prove himself

Honestly I doubt he wants it

[lunar harness]

did they give him a red helmet?

dont ultramarines do some shit with red helmets when someone messes up?

[storm jungle]

No lol

its a rank

[dusk patrol]

During the GC it was a mark of censure

Due to a marine named Thiel it became a mark of rank and honor because he made it that

So now the UM and lots of other chapters use the red to make Sgts or whatever depending

Varies by chapter what colors they use

[orchid lark]

Primarchs during the GC when they want to punish their sons :

Woe the colour red be upon you

[storm jungle]

[celest dome]

Blood Angel be like

[dusk patrol]

It made it easier to hide the stains

Sanguinius’s foresight didn’t just apply to his death

The cleaning bills he saved on

[orchid lark]

Their punishment was because they didnt make enougb art

My fave dumb lore about BA is the fact theyve gone on crusades just to get the right pigment of colours

Or certain quality of rubies

[storm jungle]

greeks moment

[burnt maple]

Bro what.

XD

[orchid lark]

Dilara already seething with pure rage typing out the word greeks already

The dumb thing is, they GO on crusades to get the stuff

Like wont some imperial worlds have it already?

[queen laurel]

hey blood red is very vibrant slaughtering people for it is very understandable

[orchid lark]

Or is it like orks took over some world and the Blood Angels are like “OH FUCK NO, not my world that gives off the right colour of sapphires and emeralds!”

Dark Angels mobilise to hunt the fallen

Blood Angels mobilise because some pirate accidentally parked their ship near a planet with a specific vein of Amethysts they really like

[storm jungle]

to be fair in the DA's case their excuses are even more braindead which is why they've been a joke for like 2 decades before the Lion showed up finally lmao

[orchid lark]

The Blood Angels fought in the second war of armageddon because armageddon tan is a new favourite colour of theirs

[storm jungle]

💀

[queen laurel]

the fallen hunters seething because the lion redeemed some of them

[storm jungle]

absolutely malding

[orchid lark]

Literal spoiled youngest children whining to dad moments

Mmm roodaka

[celest dome]

Both gif still just look like Bionicle 🤷

[orchid lark]

And both are fucking AWESOME

[tulip brook]

They seem to be ok with fallen redeemed dynamic

Considering lion deployed a bunch of fallen guardians all around each named character

[tulip brook]

asmodai and inner circle companions, such a wholesome team

[surreal nest]

Are scout squad leaders full marines? Or do they willingly forgo the full process?

Wondering why GW decided to give them an interchangeable scout head

[orchid lark]

they are full marines yeah

[surreal nest]

Weird that GW didn't give them a specific head. They just look like fresh scouts

I assume they'd have service studs by now

[orchid lark]

some chapters dont use service studs for age

ritual scarring, tattooing, so on and so forth

[surreal nest]

Fair enough

[orchid lark]

dante would look super weird with 14 service studs on his forehead too

[tulip brook]

they don't use service studs, they like to carry around blood vials instead

or at least I don't remember any ba with studs

[arctic talon]

BA sometimes use studs

[storm jungle]

They get service studs when the artists dont care

[green loom]

Are service studs like service dogs for marines

But it's just beefy serfs instead

[storm jungle]

BRUH

[bold wren]

They're metallic rivets that go in the skull

And just record service that's all they are

[storm jungle]

No they are hot men

[forest orbit]

This is correct. I should know, I play Space Marines

[rocky gale]

Hot men are a staple of the genre, It's called BL for a reason

[bold wren]

That's not the reason why

[storm jungle]

Nah, it is.

[storm jungle]

You are literally the last person to lecture anyone on any of this when your favorite Chapter has one of the most homoerotic excerpts in existence between a Primarch and his sons

[crisp heath]

Move over Forgebreaker, Santor's got his eyes on Manus' other hammer

[storm jungle]

[rose thorn]

It’s funny seeing people talk about warhammer lore that parody’s real life

Like either they are oblivious or like you can physically hear them think about what they say next

The physical sound of a self check

[bold wren]

Fulgrim was an amazing weapon Smith and Intelligent

[rose thorn]

Yea

[bold wren]

Shame all his Intelligence was wasted on heresy

Guilliman is the most autistic asexual man I have ever seen in 40k.

[rose thorn]

That’s fair

He’s also a gamer

[bold wren]

Guilliman is handsome though I won't lie

[rose thorn]

Fr

[bold wren]

He could be doing that but his true love is his work.

Guilliman is married to his work he seems the type

I mean a pretty fair thing to go by

[rose thorn]

Crushing on the they/them boss Visarch

[bold wren]

Guilliman is rather xenophobic I heard

But man survives in space without a helmet

Guilliman is too much of a Chad to even need a helmet in space

[rose thorn]

He is pretty xenophobic he already made a plan to betray the ynnari

[arctic talon]

Tbh

It would be weird for him not to

[bold wren]

Even though they revived him

Then the Emperor revived him again after that

The God Emperor is a God quite literally has the power to resurrect people but usually says no I don't think I will.

He could just bring Sanguinis back but is like no I don't feel like it

Despite he resurrected Guilliman

[rocky gale]

I imagine reviving someone on the verge of death is kinda different to reviving someone who died 10k years ago

[crisp heath]

how are you going to call Guilliman autistic and have nothing to say about Lion

[dusk patrol]

I can like IH while not liking Guymer's horni posting

On the contrary, not liking their writing is paramount to being an IH fan

[storm jungle]

It exists and is canon so too bad

[dusk patrol]

Also you’re an Eldar fan you don’t get to lecture me about long a faction despite bad writing

Smh

[storm jungle]

I DIDNT SAY IT WAS BAD WRITING

Hes literally a greek god aesthetic wise so thats accurate

[rocky gale]

There was a period where people on TikTok were saying if GW really wants to do a better job marketing to women then they need to start writing Smutty Warhammer books.

[storm jungle]

Ironically sex and other shit was a semi-big thing in Warhammer Fantasy books, even full on female focused ones like Ulrika and other vampire novels in the setting

never full on stuff but always implied or just outright said

Nowadays its a lot more filtered

[rocky gale]

50 Shades of the Red Angel

[outer wave]

We're only allowed dark eldar skinning someone slowly with razor blades, but not allowed gay sex with Sanguinius

Im disappointed

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats classic societal stuff

you can watch a dude getting his brains blown out, torn apart, eaten alive, melted, etc

But female tits is too much lol

[outer wave]

Damn I cannot say male mammary glands

[storm jungle]

Wait is "tits" blocked

[outer wave]

Why would I want to read about something pointless, annoying, and distasteful like two people touching when I could be reading about a 8 foot tall muscle freak getting his head swallowed by a dinosaur bug

I assure you mods it is vital I be able to say boobs for the best Darktide and 40k discourse.

How could one describe Nurgle's appearance without mentioning them

[crisp heath]

The Drukhari aren't special Blood Angels saw humans as nothing more then food

They can be called pious all they want but they are vampires and that sounds heretical in it's own

[storm jungle]

Neither

The warp speaks to me again

[tulip brook]

what's with the obsession with blood angels and cannibalism

[green loom]

It's actually a mistranslation, they're just gay

[rocky gale]

Cannibalism is often used as a metaphor for love.

[tulip brook]

if you look at it that way, suddenly fleshtearers sound so romantic

[rocky gale]

Obviously not all cannibalism is romantic, but it's quite commonly a symbolic thing within poetry.

So no Flesh Tearers aren't necessarily romantic

[spring cairn]

i don't get that

cannibalism is perhaps one of the most abohrent act one can commit

[storm jungle]

Lambda getting posessed by the spirit of Vivid

[orchid lark]

clearly this guy didnt read/watch Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

that ending was wild

[queen laurel]

my sentence was coherent

So are most of his.

Thats what makes it awful

[queen laurel]

Just because it's coherent doesn't mean it makes sense

i can say hitler was right with the jews

[spring cairn]

but it does

[queen laurel]

coherent yes

[storm jungle]

Every 60 seconds in Terra. A minute passes.

[queen laurel]

but absolutely no one is going to agree with me with that sentence

[orchid lark]

thank you Inquisitor for teaching me the Terran Standard

[spring cairn]

lot's of weirdos romanticise cannibalism so

[orchid lark]

Mass Effect's Galactic Standard is stupid btw

[storm jungle]

Lots of weirdos romanticise everything

[spring cairn]

yes

[spring cairn]

unlike cannibalism

[storm jungle]

Lambda legit went "I find vore cuter than cannibalism"

[spring cairn]

as a word yes

[rocky gale]

It's not about actually romanticising Cannibalism, it's using it as a metaphor, it's not about the actual act. It's subtextual stuff.

[queen laurel]

my brother in christ the word doesn't matter it's in the meaning

[orchid lark]

whats a cuter way to say Cock ball Torture

[spring cairn]

i'm just talking about the word

[storm jungle]

its infectious

[rocky gale]

It's because Vore isn't just another word for cannibalism, it's just a similar specific thing which is equally disturbing.

[spring cairn]

yes, I never said otherwise

[orchid lark]

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS

PLEASE A TANGENT ANYTHING

[spring cairn]

just that for someone who's not educated about what it means

it's less offensive than cannibalism

so it's a "cutsie" nickname, that masks something abhorent

[queen laurel]

Vore is vore even if you say the word is better than the word cannibalism it doesn't change the meaning of the fact that it is vore

[spring cairn]

omg

i never said that it changes the meaning

[rocky gale]

But that's just how language works, if you didn't know what cannibalism meant then you wouldn't be offended by that word either.

[spring cairn]

yes but everyone knows what cannibalism means let's be honest

[storm jungle]

Lambda getting defensive when hes the one talking goofy ah shit is my favorite thing in this server

that video is literally how it is right now

Scalpers try to be a human being challenge (impossible)

I've seen people saying that once the year is over and it's not being sold at Events anymore it will be available as a Made to Order item on the website, so there's that glimmer of hope

It costs like £20 and they're trying to resell it for £40 at the minimum but I've seen people trying to sell it for £80-£100. Like I understand you want to make a little money but come on.

[viral halo]

scalpers gonna scalp

it's easy money

I've worn air jordans my whole life and fighting scalpers is what made me stop buying them

until I was like 18 you could just go in the mall and get whatever you wanted, then scalpers ruined the entire shoe industry

[spring cairn]

doesn't help that all the big shoe brands are on the artificial scarcity grind

That video goes crazy

There’s a bell

[rose thorn]

SIGMA LIED

[arctic talon]

In it

Rats

[rose thorn]

Tbh bells are like, 3 factions in AOS

[arctic talon]

I’m like 99% sure

What sigmar lied about

Is azyr being chaos free

And it’s not safe

[rose thorn]

There is like 3 whole books about exactly that

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[rocky gale]

Yea there's bells and you can see a rat scurrying away

[arctic talon]

But the average person in azyr doesn’t know

And we got the skaven mini leaks

[rose thorn]

Oh I didn’t see the rats

[arctic talon]

I’m assuming surprise gnawhole

In azyr

[rocky gale]

And leaks have said that Skaven will be a poster faction for 4th edition

[rose thorn]

The skaven update will probably be the biggest update in AOS

[arctic talon]

Or some other skaven horde

[rose thorn]

Based

[arctic talon]

Explode out

[rocky gale]

Cities vs Skaven would be an incredibly based Launch Boxset for AoS 4th edition, but alas it will almost certainly be Stormcast vs Skaven

[rose thorn]

Honeslt It needs to have stormcasts, cities are not good for new players

To paint

But also stormcasts have a pretty high skill ceiling

[rocky gale]

Surely with Stormcast you can just spray them gold or silver and drown them in Nuln Oil or Fleshshade

[rose thorn]

Fr

They are extremely easy and fun to paint

[rocky gale]

Then just paint the robes

[rose thorn]

Armor
Robes
Flesh

Metal
Base
Flesh

Then get a wash

Skaven might be pretty ez to paint tbh

I bet they take wages well

Washes

[rocky gale]

I'd hope so since they're a horde army, I cannot imagine having to paint 300 little ratmen in excruciating detail

[rose thorn]

I know clan rats aren’t the worst

Since it’s like 70% fur

But the uh, armored rats might be tough

Let me ask my old world skaven player friend

I’d like skaven to become more accessible, a lot of people whi are new to warhammer mainly like the skaven from what I seen

[arctic talon]

The rumors say that the Box is gona be updated 1e Stormcast

and Skaven

[versed ledge]

So can tempestus scions, kasrkins, stormtroopers, survive and win against necrons or tyranid?

[arctic talon]

Yes

now granted if they get shot by a necron 99.99999999% chance they die

unless it hits their like

gun

[versed ledge]

At that point they'll survive by tactics and training alone

As for nids, maybe the their armor might save them

[arctic talon]

Pretty much any faction can deal with any faction

in 40k

[versed ledge]

Provided with good tactics

[arctic talon]

At least in AoS you're allowed to play non horde skaven

[versed ledge]

But with a small fire team, do you guys think they'll survive a simple search and destroy mission, or rescue?

[arctic talon]

Depends on what they're doing

if they're going into a tomb world it depends on how awake the tomb world is

[rose thorn]

There’s a load of play styles but their faction system puts you in a bit of a choke hold

[storm jungle]

Its very 50/50, they can get easily wiped out if something goes wrong

[arctic talon]

^

[storm jungle]

they are good but they arent that good

without support they'd also get fucked

[arctic talon]

If you go into a necron tomb complex

you uh

are at high risk of horrific death

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

from the variety of wonderus contraptions and constructs

[rocky gale]

Never go into Necron tombs

[storm jungle]

Imperials are also

as much as shitty books would make you believe

can get shot and die

lol

[arctic talon]

Nah I’d win

[rocky gale]

I remember going into a Necron Tomb once in an RT game, my character said it was a bad idea, told them not to do it, got ordered to go inside, insisted the entire time that we should leave and of course I was the only one that died.

[celest dome]

Shouldn't have raised death flags

[rocky gale]

I was the Archmilitant, I had to lay down covering fire for the others.

I was downed and the two Admech characters were given the choice to save me but they both just looked at my crumpled body like

https://tenor.com/view/door-closes-closing-door-fierce-evil-look-evil-stare-gif-15984520

[celest dome]

Not surprising

[rocky gale]

Yea, especially because I was a former Skitarii who'd openly stated that I would butcher them both if my indoctrination didn't prevent me from doing so.

[arctic talon]

most sane skitarii tech priest interaction

[rocky gale]

When your crew consists of a pair of Drukhari twins, two Tech Priests, a Sister Pronatus, a Blank and a Skitarii who's slowly becoming SHODAN with a Captain who's a "reformed" Drukhari Succubus there are very few sane moments.

[storm jungle]

LMAO

yeah thats an RPG moment alright

[rocky gale]

One of the best moments was when we'd been sent to gain permission from the Nobles of a world feudal world that had been cut off from the Imperium for centuries to begin mining excavations, the Sister led the discussions with the Nobles and tried to formulate a deal, while the Drukhari twins discussed which one of them could kill the most Nobles if they both charged, the Tech Priests were trying to "Acquire" a musket from one of the guards and the Skitarii was trying to incite the servants in the room into overthrowing the Nobles.

[shadow grove]

Does aos have a killteam equivalent l?

[rocky gale]

Yes, Warcry

and there's also Underworld, but it seems more like a boardgame and I'm not really sure what it's deal is.

But yea Warcry is the AoS version of Killteam

[celest dome]

Underworld I would compare more to Blackstone fortress

[rocky gale]

Interesting, didn't know anything about Underworld except it had some cool models that could be used in regular games like you could with Warcry

[celest dome]

Yeah, but it's less "normal TT but smaller" and more narrative/ability heavy TT

I wonder

Would Mordheim fit more as Kill Team like or not ?

[rocky gale]

Mordheim is akin to Necromunda

[celest dome]

Yeah fair

[rose thorn]

It’s basically a beck building game with a board

It’s pretty fun

[celest dome]

For Underworld ?

[rose thorn]

Yea

All the customization is in the decks

[arctic talon]

Warcry is the big one

there's other smaller scale stuff unlike 40k

but its nothing like KT

[rose thorn]

You draw objectives, upgrades, abilities

[rose thorn]

Warcry is also one of the best skirmish games ever made

[rocky gale]

and has some of the most unique models

[arctic talon]

I love all the warcry minis

[celest dome]

The Warcry chaos sub cults are way too cool

Which there were some like those but for Order and Destruction

[rocky gale]

DoK could use a Warcry band

Oh wait the Shadowstalkers are Warcry nvm

[celest dome]

Yeah, but they still feel like "normal" troops, and not very specific sub groups like how the Rotmire Creed, Spire Tirants and Splintered fangs are

[rose thorn]

To be fair they are pretty bad in war cry

And their underworlds too

I imagine in shadow DoK they would actually be pretty good if not flavorful

Since they were the first shadow elf models

What was the name of the shadow elf faction in the danwbringer stuff?

[celest dome]

Darkling Coven ?

[rose thorn]

Nah that’s the city one

I think

Let me check community

Crossers

Croneseers

That’s it

[rocky gale]

That's Krethusa and Morei-Heg, dunno if that's going to be anything to do with the Shadow Aelves

[celest dome]

Oh the shadow elf of Malerion ?

[rose thorn]

She has their own subfaction now

From the Dawn bringer

[rocky gale]

Yea Shadow Aelves are associated with Malerion, I think he gifted them to Morathi

[rose thorn]

It’s

So bad

[rocky gale]

Yep

[rose thorn]

It’s so funnily fucking bad

Idk if this makes it any better

I don’t know DoK

Apparently there is also rumors we might get Phoenix elves based off the city’s battletomb
