[shadow plover]

that's a pretty old version of the galaxy map too, no rift or anything

[river walrus]

What special about it?

[pine wedge]

similar to the eye of terror, just smaller and somewhere else. a region of space where the barrier between realspace and the warp is very thin

[shadow plover]

it's big

[pine wedge]

which means that it's a bastion of chaos forces

[river walrus]

Oh... but what it do?

Oh

[pine wedge]

there are several groups of chaos space marine corsairs that invade the imperium from within the maelstrom

[river walrus]

So... how break bastion?

[pine wedge]

you don't!

or rather

you can theoretically close off portals like that with blackstone (a psi-inert material that calms the warp) pylons scattered on planets surrounding it, which is what the necrons were trying to do a long time ago, but nobody today really remembers how that works

[river walrus]

Also seperate queshion what happen on Komlar? Ulgo serve there but was shoured at because kept the hill

[pine wedge]

Cadia had blackstone pylons on it that were keeping the Eye of Terror somewhat contained. Abaddon the Despoiler destroyed Cadia, and its destruction caused the Eye of Terror to turn into the Great Rift, bisecting the galaxy with a giant warp rift

[pine wedge]

no info on that

just something made up for the Bodyguard voicelines during character creation

[river walrus]

[pine wedge]

we can deduce that the Imperial Guard fought a war against Chaos on Komlar, and that a company of Ogryns refused the order to evacuate a fortified position and remained there for three days to hold off the enemy alone

and that's it

[river walrus]

But if won... then why yell at us?

[pine wedge]

disobedience is still disobedience, even if it leads to victory

and obedience is more important to the commissars than victory.

[orchid lark]

If Big Hat says something Big Man, you gotta listen to him no matter what

[river walrus]

But was no big hat lil un

Big hat lil un gone already

[orchid lark]

just cause theyre gone dont mean their orders are gone too

[river walrus]

Ulgo make own Lore of Komlar now

[pine wedge]

Good idea big man.

[river walrus]

But not give order before gone. Last order was stay here n kill heretic

[storm jungle]

Ulgo being the most lore accurate ogryn rn asking all the right questions to the system

[river walrus]

Thanking you!

Always very curious about militarum

[rose thorn]

thinking about gsc/brood brothers my favorite 40k faction

i want that new killteam real damn bad

[rose thorn]

maybe my genestearl cults is like

The Redefined ro something like that

a cohort of lost broodbrother regiments and genestealre cults who were defeated or abandoned or a variety of things and follow a hadnful of tyranid gods

with all the cults and stuff

bascially gsc renegades

[crisp heath]

Are there any strong fat space marines

Like they're all big but are there any built like a power lifter

[green loom]

Yes

[queen laurel]

Haegr the Mountain from the space wolves

[crisp heath]

I was about to ask if he was a space wolf lmao

[queen laurel]

the guy broke the leg of a chaos Dreadnought with a single Thunder hammer swing

[crisp heath]

oh looks like a lot of people use a death guard torso for him

Love that

[storm jungle]

they got those big guts

https://tenor.com/view/berserk-guts-berserk-berserk-manga-barnyard-gif-7710385010126584878

[crisp heath]

I'm just working on a super soldier archetype for a couple short stories I'm trying to write and I'm trying to get a good basis for non-shredded super soldiers

rn I'm actually working more off hussars from Rimworld because Space Marines are too

acid spit

for me

[queen laurel]

Man I love dragon Slayer even though it's practically one of the simpler great swords in fiction

[crisp heath]

greatsword? you mean angular great club

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's practically just a giant iron club with an edge

[spring cairn]

somewhat shaped slap of metal

[crisp heath]

It doesn't even have an edge, it's canonically never sharpened

[queen laurel]

Yeah pure weight is the only reason why this thing can cut

[rocky gale]

I feel like his sword gets larger ever time I see it

[crisp heath]

it literally only cuts because it's heavy as shit and rips through things

[spring cairn]

if guts had a zweihander maybe berserk would be good...

[rocky gale]

He could rock a Flamberge

[spring cairn]

they're kinda one and the same depending on who you ask

[crisp heath]

Really wish there were more panels of guts in the berserker armor just tearing monsters apart with his bare hands

screw the sword, the guys got cursed gauntlets, let him use them

I like armor that is also a weapon, but Forgotten Realms battleragers are just

so dumb

I love them

[rocky gale]

Not really Flamberge or Flambard was a flame shaped blade, so sure some Zweihanders were Flamberge, but some rapiers and daggers were also Flamberge, it was a forging technique that could be applied to pretty much any sort of sword.

But yea just give Guts a nice Flamberge Zweihander and it's much better

[crisp heath]

More fantasy armor needs a codpiece

Nothing says power move like downing a noble enemy, standing over him, and having your metal erection eclipse the sun

[spring cairn]

armor is best when as grounded and inspired by real life as possible

[storm jungle]

How to get fired from your creative design job speedrun

[spring cairn]

some "people" who design armors for medieval fantasy settings should not be allowed in the kitchen

[storm jungle]

Most are pretty good

every aesthetic genre has its cursed stuff

[crisp heath]

the important thing to remember is that there is a lot of real life, historical plate that is dumb as hell and made specifically for vanity

[rocky gale]

One second lemmie get the Witcher ballsack armour

[storm jungle]

AUGHHH

[spring cairn]

witcher armor is baller

2 and 3

[storm jungle]

The ballsack one is not

[spring cairn]

it's p good

[storm jungle]

the games tho are all great

[crisp heath]

hell a lot of high medieval armor has a cinched waist because the knights all wanted to be hot

[spring cairn]

i haven't seen the show

[storm jungle]

good

[spring cairn]

just talking about the games

[storm jungle]

yeah we are talking about the show

so

[rocky gale]

They give Nilfgaard ballsack armour with penis helmets

[spring cairn]

witcher games understand the glory of the gambesons

[crisp heath]

I only read the books because I wanted to do that before watching the show, never got around to watching the show

[storm jungle]

Which is so bad because actual Nilfgaard armor is fucking great

Actual drip

mfer got his money's worth

[spring cairn]

sallet helmet my beloved

[storm jungle]

poop-bucket

[storm jungle]

The show doesnt follow the books

LMAO

good attempt tho

[crisp heath]

In terms of adaptations, I'm still mad about what they did to huron greyjoy

[storm jungle]

We can spend an entire week talking about how many characters they butchered

also do you mean Euron

Fake fan spotted

[crisp heath]

I read those books like a decade ago, and I am not subjecting myself to that again

his name is huron now

[storm jungle]

nah

its Euron

[rocky gale]

My favourite ASOIAF character, Huron Crowsfeet

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[green loom]

I want to read the books just for Jamie Golden Hand

Also excited to see Bloody Ben in HoTD

[storm jungle]

We enjoy our books 🙏

especially ones where plot/events matter

[green loom]

I found it hard getting through book 1

Though I'm not sure if that was my rampant and violent depression at the time or it being a slog

[storm jungle]

Because theres a ton of lore/characters/over-arching plot poitns and other shit in it

also yeah the violence is a lot lmao

I kinda almost dropped it from the absolute amount of sexual assault 💀

[green loom]

Boy do I have a book for you

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

Now now Ed you know damn well DIlara deserves none of that, make ghost read it

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

I'm sure she's read what I've said about Shad's book

[crisp heath]

I've basically learned to never trust a man on the internet named shad

[spring cairn]

that's a good life advice

I've yet to hear about a shad that's not a total creature

[rocky gale]

I'm excited for more HotD, but the current marketing campaign they're doing is the most annoying thing.

The damn "All must choose" campaign thing, like I'm sure that's not going to whip the already incredibly toxic divided fanbase into a frenzy

[storm jungle]

To be fair even before the show that divide existed

now its just festering lmao

[rocky gale]

Oh yea that divide was there, but now they're using that divide as a marketing gimmick

and like a large point of the story is how factionalism is bad and the infighting it caused leads a family to destroy itself and for thousands of innocent lives to be caught in the crossfire, stop promoting said factionalism.

[green loom]

It's commenatry on how the average people are as moronic as the smallfolk

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[storm jungle]

They should be based liked me where I support both sides because one has Daemon and the other has Aemond and they are both hot.

[rocky gale]

Aemond

[green loom]

I support both because the war means more nobles die

Leaning blacks because Rivermen are based

[rocky gale]

I lean Greens because I find their characters more sympathetic in general, not because I actually support what they do

Because the whole point is that everyone is in the wrong and no matter how sympathetic any of the characters are, no one is doing the right thing and pretty much everyone is complicit in the tragedy they are inflicting on themselves.

[storm jungle]

Yeah but hot dragon people

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/aemond-aemond-targaryen-ewan-mitchell-targaryen-violet-eye-gif-3380385423941509478

If he looked at me like that I would simply turn to ash

[storm jungle]

LMAO

same tho tbh

[orchid lark]

he's got cat lips

meow

like :3

[storm jungle]

He literally does with those curled side-lips

Aemond is an absolute menace

[queen laurel]

The guy has a single eye it has been proven in fiction that if you are missing an eye you are technically considered a menace prime example

[storm jungle]

[rocky gale]

One of my favourite bits that Glidus does in his HotD reviews is that after Aemond loses the eye, he starts being dubbed as speaking in Japanese.

[river walrus]

Can still remmember that majima WAS everywhere

[queen laurel]

KIRYU-CHAN

[river walrus]

AAAAAAAAA

[dusk patrol]

I just lean blacks cause Daemon is cool in a toxic hot way

And I know what he does and it’s gonna be fucking awesome

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats literally his character which is great

i love that they also made it so that he purposefully didnt kill his lil brother

little shit had it coming tho

[green loom]

Killing you

[storm jungle]

A-

[versed ledge]

So...who is Roboute Guilliman's girlfriend?

[green loom]

A rogue trader lady

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/urmom-your-mom-baldi-defaultdance-gif-19665250

[dusk patrol]

He doesn’t have one

[storm jungle]

He does, the rogue trader

[dusk patrol]

Because he’s not a redditor who thinks if you talk to a girl one time on vaguely friendly terms it means you’re banging

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[dusk patrol]

He’s friendly with her, she’s a little flirty but it’s not reciprocated

[storm jungle]

yeah because you're a dude, you dont get the signals

all you feel is your iron hand up your fucking-

https://tenor.com/view/cat-launch-attack-cat-attack-cat-launch-cat-jumps-up-cat-zooms-up-gif-12722471127212312858

[dusk patrol]

Fortunately so is Guilliman

Maybe 1000 years from now he’ll realize she was interested

[storm jungle]

Maybe 1000 seconds from now you'll find me lowering you into molten lava

[dusk patrol]

And to nip this in the bud because some dork is gonna say it, we know Fulgrim had political marriages, it’s not clear if we consummated them.

Russ probably possibly also had sex knowing Fenrisian culture. Everyone else it’s unclear and unstated.

[storm jungle]

Your demise is gonna be unclear and unstated

[dusk patrol]

Yours is gonna be clear and present

[rocky gale]

What do you mean "we"? 🤨

[dusk patrol]

People like me who read

You’re not included in this not to worry

[storm jungle]

He was there during the marriage, he saw they had no intercourse

[rocky gale]

You said "It's not clear if we consummated them"

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-east-bound-and-down-east-bound-kenny-powers-let-the-boy-watch-gif-5526111

[storm jungle]

but also yeah like

at this point this isnt even worth correctiong

[dusk patrol]

I’m not fixing it

[storm jungle]

Yvraine's plotline is basically abandoned and shes not even a character anymore, just a cocksleeve

[dusk patrol]

She and the League of Votann can have a plot line together where nothing happens

[storm jungle]

AAAA

[dusk patrol]

Tbh I expect in the next couple years for them to be revisited

Part of me thinks they’re waiting for EC and Fulgrim to be redone

We’ll see though.

[storm jungle]

Yeah its very likely

because Ynnari has gotten NOTHING in the last 2-3 years

like not a single lore mention or anything, just 9th being all "yeah they exist"

[rocky gale]

Rude

[dusk patrol]

Bad Boy Eternal Era

[rocky gale]

Also signals can be hard for anyone yo, I only learned like last year that a girl I went to school with was apparently sending me signals for years and I just never noticed.

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

I had a friend who had a girl, who he fucking liked, drive 3 hours to hang out at his house with him.

And he didn’t realize that she was maybe interested

That one made me mad ngl

[storm jungle]

Alright yeah thats awful

[dusk patrol]

They did end up dating at least

[pale onyx]

So the most elite of the imperium are custodies. Do chaos have anything as elite

[rocky gale]

Depends what you mean by Elite

Like a Daemon Prince is pretty elite

[rose thorn]

im giggling about the idea of playing csgo on a servitor

[pale onyx]

Mmmm more like a faction like custodies or sub faction

[rose thorn]

hmm, deathguard if you build them that way or uh

honestly 1k sons have pretty low model count builds

[pale onyx]

Lore wise I mean

[rocky gale]

Chaos doesn't really have the save variety of faction and subfaction that the Imperium does tbh

It's like Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Knights and Daemons

[celest dome]

None. Death Guard aren't particularly elites

[rocky gale]

Of the three factions Chaos Knights are probably the most elite I guess

and within like the CSM the elites would be units like the Chosen or the Terminators or the specific honour guard variant that pretty much every Chaos Legion has.

[storm jungle]

Chaos has no custodian equilavent yeah

they are basically a faction made of cannon fodder with elite units leading the battle

the CSM are the heavy hitters but they are still random goons at the end of the day

[pale onyx]

Damn

[rocky gale]

I hope 40k Chaos gets some reworking with the tabletop & lore at some point. Like I feel Chaos in AoS is structured much better in that most of their armies are regular sorts of cultists vs 40k where their armies are like 90% Chaos Marines with a few cultists tagging along.

Like I'd much prefer to have a Chaos army that's like 90% cultists with maybe one squad of Legionaries and a Champion or something

[arctic talon]

They’re making a mortal focused detachment

For the chaos codex

[rocky gale]

Nice

[arctic talon]

Possesed can match custodes arguably

Assuming they’re of the greater variety

[dusk patrol]

Possessed are a good example

But they’re not all the same

There’s not a direct 1:1

But certain champions and what not are gonna be that level

Or beyond

[arctic talon]

Yeah

The peak of chaos is much higher

[green loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZARwlsmDi0

I likes the effect on this scene

[rocky gale]

I hadn't paid much attention to the new Star Wars trailer, but I guess the fandom menace keeps doing what it always does.

[tough haven]

Anyone got any good synthwave necron coded (pun intended) music?

Looking for stuff to listen to while playing ‘crons

[storm jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/@Musicof40K/playlists

No pinpoint one but uh this channel has a lot of good tracks from several IPs repurposed to be seen as 40k stuff, take a look

[tough haven]

I coincidentally have their entire necrons and Ork soundtracks saved

[storm jungle]

Lmao nice

[tough haven]

Hm, I wonder what more I can find

[tough haven]

https://youtu.be/7FrKDBnAMV0?si=Yp9u9m--LXuYkB3O

heres a good one lol

What source is this from? Cause if its from a book I'd love to see the abject horror of tau encountering 'Crons

[arctic talon]

The quote for that has to be from a Codex

either that or it got made up

since the Harvest of Ka'mais was a thing in the nid/necron/tau codex

[tough haven]

Dang

[arctic talon]

Necrons also funnily enough are not on the Tau's do not negotiate list

because they can in fact be negotiated with

Anrakyr is just kind of a dick lol

[young pecan]

The Mechanicus game's music has some bangers, I'm so glad that was my first 40k experience

[tough haven]

I use those in my crons playlist

[tough haven]

Yeah

[crisp heath]

My first 40k experience was TTS, I will never recover

All my lore is wrong and ingrained into my being cause it’s funnier that way

[tough haven]

It’s be easy enough for tau to just leave a tomb world, or just not bother them, I think they’d go for that

[tough haven]

You poor soul, tts should be peoples second experience, when you’ve already got a bit of background

[crisp heath]

How does peak human civilization compare to war in heaven tech? Was it even close?

[tough haven]

I assume not at all

[arctic talon]

It would take the L

[tough haven]

It would take the whole stock of Ls

[crisp heath]

Take an L for sure, but would it make a dent?

[arctic talon]

We don't know

for sure

[crisp heath]

That’s the question

Ah

[arctic talon]

Because we've never gotten to see

any proper war in heaven tech that isn't necron tech

because the Eldar Empire fucking blew up

and the krorks died out

[crisp heath]

All but one

[arctic talon]

but seeing as Jokaero ships can absolutely obliterate entire imperium fleets

with ease

well

my bet is on the war in heaven tech lol

[queen laurel]

Bile said himself that it's the most advanced armor he had seen

and it's just there sitting in a museum by some skeleton man

[crisp heath]

I love that silly necron

The non body horror necrons are the best

[tough haven]

Fr

I love necrons coping with immortality

Give me necrons obsessed with things like sculpting or painting the way trazyn is a collector

[thorn zenith]

Jokaero is true master of 40k

Easily 1 v all, necroncels be seething at the mere sight

[orchid lark]

Jokaeros are always happy when we see them, got flesh and hair too

Opposites of the Necroncels

[river walrus]

What is deep hive?

[storm jungle]

the part of the hive that is deeper

[celest dome]

Usually poorer, derelict and unsafe compared to higher strata

[tulip brook]

Hives are build upwards so the deep part is oldest buildings and passageways mostly collapsed under the weight and usage

Resources go from top to the bottom so they have the most polluted trash too

But as an archeological point, deeper parts may have sealed parts that haven't been reached for millennia and house priceless archeotech stuff

[rose thorn]

Necromunda probably

[rocky gale]

It's a mecha-unicorn

[river walrus]

So... deeper is dangerous but can be more valuable stuff to get?

[tulip brook]

Not good for living, but good for digging

[river walrus]

So why not go there? Seem like good place to find heretic

[storm jungle]

Many reasons why

Like becoming lunch

[river walrus]

Ulgo turn it into lunch

[outer wave]

Idk seems like a nice guy, just a lil hungry. He can have a bit of salami.

[river walrus]

Dont know about you. But for Uĺgo it look like ingredient for stew

[outer wave]

Hey its true! The meat is probably pretty tender when cooked right

[river walrus]

Agreed!

[outer wave]

Just gotta feed him the right kinda stuff then catch him offguard then bam, dinner!

[river walrus]

Not need. Have Ogryn recipe for everything! Mash-cut-break-tear-make into ball-squish. Make good meat!

[celest dome]

Could be a Tech Marine

Exactly why abominable intelligence should not be allowed to exist!

Average Scandinavian wildlife

I love the eldritch text that’s it’s attempts to make normal text but “Meat Hiotdogd” is perfectly legible

[rose thorn]

Oh hey the best outcast leader in the game

Necromunda*

[rose thorn]

My guess is a nomad rogue doc or maybe house orlock ?

[river walrus]

What is deal of necromunda?

[rose thorn]

Worst place to live in the imperium ultimate dog eats dog tier shit

[river walrus]

Like what?

[rocky gale]

Necromunda is basically a kitchen sink for 40k, it's got a little bit of everything all in one planet.

[queen laurel]

i do love this guy because like at times batman should have just killed people instead of killing them because of the hospital bill

like Arkham Batman i'm pretty sure broke at least more than 5000 bones in the span of a single night

[outer wave]

Does coffee exist in the Imperium?

[queen laurel]

yes

[outer wave]

Is it called coffee or is it called something else?

[rocky gale]

Recaf I think

Unless I'm confusing it with Star Wars

[queen laurel]

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi-7qO-r5KFAxUr2TgGHXODAoIQFnoECCsQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwh40k.lexicanum.com%2Fwiki%2FRecaf&usg=AOvVaw0OwuS_07jl3aey4kzOHmSt&opi=89978449

yeah it's Recaf

[outer wave]

Oh pog

[rocky gale]

Ah yes it's Recaf in 40k and Caf in Star Wars

[outer wave]

Is it called recaf because they put more caffeine into it or is it because no bean produces caffeine and it needs to be added in?

[orchid lark]

Need me lhosticks

[outer wave]

The average Imperium civilian breakfast

Lhosticks and recaf

[rocky gale]

I think it's Recaf because it's synthetic

"Recaf is essentially a synthetic form of the ancient Terran drink known as coffee."

[outer wave]

Mmm makes sense

[soft thunder]

So is it M42?

I know there's something mentioned by Gulliman or someone idk about the timekeeping being fucked up over the past 10k years so it's technically M41 still, or something to help neckbeards cope.

Like everything after the Great Rift is recorded as M42 or something?

[orchid lark]

It is M42

We’re somewhere around the year 41,080 so M 42.80

The warp affecting real space causes weird time bullshit

Some sectors or sub sectors are either faster or slower

[soft thunder]

Is the indomitus crusade concluded? That was a hundred years or so?

[orchid lark]

Under roboute guillimans orders all battlefleets and battlegroups are to record their own time based on where they are

[orchid lark]

Retconned

I dont fucking know why they did it

But they changed it

[soft thunder]

so that crusade is still ongoing?

[storm jungle]

Yep

[orchid lark]

The Indomitus Crusade is still a thing, but its Phase 3??? Or something

[storm jungle]

Timespan was too long once it was "concluded", deeming it still on-going is the better option

[orchid lark]

Its for our dudes to fit in the story

GW wants us to play with our dollies and feel comfortable fitting in

So we buy more PAINT

[soft thunder]

ya I get where darktide is in the grand timeline, but I know the broader narrative has stuff well after w/e we are doing on Atoma

[orchid lark]

No Our Dudes are the models

GW dont give a damn about the games

[soft thunder]

So basiacally M42 is "Era Indomitus" are at least until the Great Rift is closed

[orchid lark]

Dont think that thing will ever get closed

[soft thunder]

yup, it causes too many interesting things to happen

[storm jungle]

At the moment we are in the Plague Wars but yeah our dudes will prob be long dead before then.

[orchid lark]

Hadron and Morrow and Grendel will be around still

Doing nefarious things

[rose thorn]

Wiay did ferrus manus shove his hands into necron goo

[storm jungle]

Its a literal en-masse Tyranid invasion of Leviathan + Chaos incursion

tho it being present is the more likely explanation yeah

yeah they literally announced it and i respect them for it

if this was the mid 2000's it would be the thousanth "surprise" twist reveal

Titass

also yeah gonna guess that'll be a multiplayer skin

[celest dome]

They better let us play in loincloth or its false advertising

[green loom]

Oh hey neat

Also lol at the deathwatch skin

It's literally just the stock blackshield from the Deathwatch vets

Literally almost 1 to 1 except the number on his kneepad isn't there and there's a cloth over the black shoulder

[storm jungle]

Lmao I was gonna say

I love the space marine from warhammer 40 thousand

[rocky gale]

Jesus looking at the fabric flowing on the plane

[rose thorn]

There is so much clipping in the animations it’s so funny

[storm jungle]

Pour one out for Homelander

🥃

[prisma lark]

well it's a Deathwatch armour with a cape and a hood lol, what did you expect it to look like

[green loom]

I mean it's 1 to 1 with the showcased blackshield lol

Down to small details

In fairness it is just a concept

But you can definitely tell they got their reference by looking at the one image

[storm jungle]

I got like

30+ Deathwatch marine artworks on my archive, they all pretty much can look different/freely customize their armor minus touching anything for their black paint/silver arm

I like the space soldiers from war hammer 40 kilo

Warhammer certaintly needs cod fanboys

they would love IF and IW

[rose thorn]

Counter argument we don’t need more racists

[viral halo]

Then who will be around to buy the models and books if they all leave?

[rose thorn]

The racist?

Normal sane people

[green loom]

We need someone to make more generic short channels that regurgitate the same topic for the 5000th time while using art without permission

[viral halo]

and make their voice more monotone and boring

perhaps add a speech impediment to spice things up

[rose thorn]

Just like the wiki

[green loom]

mfkers never took a public speaking course

[rose thorn]

Shout out to when my teacher made students dance in front of the class for extra credit

[viral halo]

Public speaking is like driving, have a couple beers before you do it and relax

[rocky gale]

Monotone and boring or fake overly enthusiastic.

Those are the choices for 40k loretubers

[rose thorn]

Best 2 points of my life

[spare elbow]

Question, Is there a shotgun that functions like a trench gun (meaning it can slam fire) within warhammer

[rocky gale]

I'd rather fail

[rose thorn]

I did aerobics so it was great

[green loom]

Does slam firing mean it fires when you use it as a bludgeoning stick

[viral halo]

it means the kaiser really hates shotguns

[celest dome]

What is Slam firing ?

[viral halo]

On the winchester m1897 shotgun you can fire the rounds every time they're chambered via pump

so instead of pull trigger, pump to chamber, pull trigger

you just have to pull trigger, then pump to fire

[dusk patrol]

Tbh we see Blackshields in Deathwatch tend to have more basic setups so I wouldn't be shocked if there's some crossover with their gear they tend to use.

[viral halo]

So basically as soon as the shell hits the chamber it fires

[viral halo]

Damn DW really are the coolest space marines

[dusk patrol]

Black Ops marines in black armor with sick silver arms and lots of relics, unique weapons, and xeno gear.

[storm jungle]

They just -reused an armor look

[storm jungle]

no need to excuse it my dude, these freelancers arent getting paid much

[storm jungle]

Also explode.

[dusk patrol]

I'm just saying Blackshields tend to have pretty stripped down basic looks anyways in Deathwatch, they took it from that model but it makes sense with what we know about him.

[storm jungle]

Im gonna make it make sense when I shove my FOOT up your A-

[dusk patrol]

That does mean we’ll probably get some Deathwatch flashback sequences though which should be cool

Since we know he and his squad all died to a Nid invasion before he was found by the Ultramarines again, so they can re use the Nid assets for that part.

[hasty oyster]

hi lore women

[viral halo]

Here's to hoping the game comes out

[hasty oyster]

I maintain that the entire game should have been all Deathwatch

My wet dream is one day Firaxis makes a Deathwatch game similar to XCOM

It’s such a perfect setup for it

Wait was lov nerfed or buffed I don’t rmember

[rocky gale]

Not sure, buffed maybe?

I remember the one time I had a chance to play it was like 3 days after Votaan release and I just didn’t bother

Context I have chaos demons

At the time

[rocky gale]

Atleast it's not as bad as GSC at the launch of 10th, where every unit you killed would just instantly respawn with full health and all their one time use weapons replenished.

[rose thorn]

Remember when GSC had free weapons

[arctic talon]

I hate free war gear

Still

[arctic talon]

Only codex in the history of warhammer to get nerfs before it even came out lol

Leagues of Votaan came out ready to fight every full power army in 9e

Except every army had already been nerfed into a more reasonable state lol

[rose thorn]

LAMOoo

[arctic talon]

So leagues of votaan was like an athlete given every single performance enhancing drug to keep up with the competition that was doping

Except all the competition had gone clean

[tender roost]

Is there a particular camo scheme that the 88th siege army adopted for Vraks? Or is it whatever one imagined it would be?

Ik the Krieg usually use drab colours I was merely curious

[rocky gale]

Here's a couple of different regiments, but don't think 88th is on it

This is art of an 88th specifically though so I'd assume this is their scheme

Seems fairly standard

[tender roost]

Hm thank you, I had seen these many a'time but I juat wanted to be double sure if anyone knew something I didn't. I recently ordered the command squad from FW and am trying to find inspiration for its scheme

[green loom]

God 88th is a choice for their fkn number lol

At least it isn't the skull faced ones

[arctic talon]

I doubt it was intentional

Ironicially

[arctic talon]

They had grenadiers but not at vraks lol

[green loom]

Nah I mean specifically the OG DK unit

Which was just Steel Legion with skulls painted on the masks

them being the 88th would've been far too sus lol

[arctic talon]

Oh

AOS is built off the idea you are obsessed with a faction or don’t care

[storm jungle]

They mostly suffer from not having diverse minis which has been THANKFULLY finally fixed

they got a ton of cool units lately

is there anybody else that gravitates more to the depressing traitor primarchs? i love the tragedies of both angron and konrad and while i see that some people recognize the sadness of their stories, they seem to just skim over it

now that i'm thinking about it, peter is also one of my favourites. could it be that i just like well written and better explained falls to chaos and stories?

[green loom]

I relate to Perturabo

Sometimes it keeps me up at night

Though Konrad is a horrible butcher

[azure knoll]

do you also see the unrelenting eye of the void that stares back at you?

[green loom]

No I'm just petulant and can't view anything said to or about me as positive in any way

[azure knoll]

i see

i suppose i see myself in all 3 and that might be a reason for my enjoyment of them

[green loom]

Angron and Pert I kinda get but I'd advise caution when thinking this about Konny

[azure knoll]

peter was the 2nd choice for big e, angron was molded into a monster by his environment and konrad's talents (although not the greatest) weren't appreciated by his peers

[green loom]

Side effect of his habit to skin people alive I guess

[azure knoll]

which is why i said his talents weren't the greatest

[green loom]

No he was quite good at it

[azure knoll]

which is why i called it a talent

not a great talent. skinning people alive isn't a great thing by any means. and being great at it doesn't make it great

[green loom]

Just try not to skin any infants

who the fuck let him cook

he and I quote "committed the biggest act of genocide the Imperium inflicted upon itself since the Horus Heresy".

he got fired

and now has gone rogue

ironically the mfs who hate inquisitors the most are other inquisitors

Yeah because each inquisitor thinks that their method of doing and protecting the imperium is the best

[twilit musk]

i know gulliman is making a bee-line to the inquisiton the second things settle down

GW would never

but i think it’s definitely a top priority

they gotta GO

[queen laurel]

And don't forget the one he actually wants to tear down before the inquisition

The ecclesiarchy

didn’t he start with the lords lol

walked in there after they failed to kill him or something

been so long since i skimmed that book

[rocky gale]

Wow, the limited edition version looks like shit

[queen laurel]

Isn't that entire conflict supposed to be over

[storm jungle]

Yeah prequel book

[queen laurel]

Yeah but you know the krieg fans are just going to eat up that slop

[storm jungle]

Also I love the "get a close view of the battle from Tyborc's POV"

motherfucker we had an entire almost 3 book encyclopedia of forgeworld books for it

[rocky gale]

Why doesn't it keep a consistent art style, why randomly have a mirrored picture in a completely different style and different colour theme reflected in the eyes?

[storm jungle]

That and even the basic book cover is just as bad

looks like bad SFM 3D art

[queen laurel]

We should ping Ederius so that he can roast this

[rocky gale]

Oh is this the same guy who wrote Krieg?

[storm jungle]

Yes

Lyons is the only person in BL that writes about Krieg

im not even joking

[rocky gale]

A friend gave me that but I've not read it yet

[storm jungle]

Its very boring

id not recommend it lol

[queen laurel]

I finally know what i can do to save this community if not save maybe give it some peace

But seriously though if it is just krieg meat riding

Then it's definitely going to sell to the runts

[rocky gale]

He'd originally got it to give to a girl he liked because she said she liked 40k and I had to be like "Did she say that she liked Krieg?" and he didn't know, he had no idea which faction she liked, his first instinct was just to get her a Krieg book 💀

[storm jungle]

Actual moron

[tough haven]

Would a battle between daemons and necrons last indefinitely?

[queen laurel]

It would be pretty damn quick because you know necrons have the anti warp tech

[tough haven]

Yeah but I thought that wasn’t daemon proof? It’s just quite strong, I thought strong enough warp energy could break through it

[storm jungle]

And daemons arent physical-attack proof

[queen laurel]

Yeah

[tough haven]

Wouldn’t they have to like set all that up with time?

[queen laurel]

They manifest their bodies physically in this world so they become subjected to its laws

[tough haven]

Would gauss weapons really harm daemons?

[queen laurel]

Now imagine if that psychic link gets disrupted

[tough haven]

Oh true, forgot about that

Do necrons have portable anti warp tech they can ready at a whim? I thought they mostly had large scale things like the pylons at cadia

But there’s very little stuff on necrons anti warp capability, because it’s xenos so they get very little so it’s very possible they do

[tough haven]

So really depends on the capabilities of their anti warp tech

[green loom]

Literally was about to mention it's just SFM 3d crap

[green loom]

Daemons are resistant, not immune

[storm jungle]

Pretty much yep

[green loom]

Even that's mostly for ranged weapons specifically

[tough haven]

People would argue the daemons would keep coming back, but so would the necrons

Unless they can fuck up their reanimation tombs

[green loom]

Fighting daemons has a lot to do with symbolism and even just your willpower

[tough haven]

All necrons have left is willpower

[tough haven]

Symbolism im not so sure on

[green loom]

Fire and melee weapons have a marked effect on them

[tough haven]

The majority of necron forces are essentially mindless with gauss weapons, so idk how effective that is against them

Maybe their more specialty forces

[green loom]

They'll still kill daemons fine

[tough haven]

How so?

[green loom]

They still have physical bodies

That gauss weapons can rip apart

[queen laurel]

If orks just shooting at them with a lot of guns works then an antimatter gun will do just fine

[green loom]

And warriors also aren't slouches in melee

[tough haven]

I forgot they work differently in real space

[tough haven]

True, in lore there’s no reason they can’t

[tough haven]

Yeah but orks have a lot of force of will, and belief that whatever they hit them with, it will work, reality be damned

[queen laurel]

It's still physical weapons

[tough haven]

(Not talking about their psychic field thing)

[green loom]

So anyway bets on how mid the vraks book is going to be

[queen laurel]

And necrons quite literally tear apart matter

[queen laurel]

Normal chocolate

[tough haven]

Anyways for daemons vs crons, without some serious strategy/interventions on the daemons part, I think it’s at best a stalemate, at worst, complete rout

[green loom]

I bet we won't hear the end of it

One of those lore channels gets their grubby hands on it, makes a video hyping it out going "Ermuhgard death korps!" and reiterating shit we knew already
And then we'll get 4 geniuses popping in daily yapping about it

[tough haven]

Can I just say, death korps are so fucking boring

They literally have no personality

Even worse than a lot of imperial factions/characters

[tough haven]

Besides a splash of WW1 aesthetic and fascism

[river walrus]

Meybe he not good yes? Meybe was traitor?

[tough haven]

Oh also C’tan, they got those, not sure how that plays out between those two, but it’d be cool

Also this is a good thing, no krieg means we may potentially get actually interesting regiments

[outer wave]

Like Salvar Chem Dogs

[outer wave]

HOW DO YOU NOT ASK HER WHAT HER FAVORITE FACTION IS?!

[rocky gale]

[outer wave]

Im so flabbergasted

I know its not always easy to talk to girls but that was an easy out

[rocky gale]

Yea like surely

"I like thing"

"What you like about thing?"

Is an obvious conversation topic for someone you're interested in.

[queen laurel]

Yeah even the loneliest of imperium fans know how to ask that if someone is new

[outer wave]

Exactly! How did he skip that essential part!?

[queen laurel]

How did he even skip that part

[outer wave]

How did his pea brain go to "Oh shes gonna love this Krieg book!"

WITH NO EVIDENCE

[rocky gale]

I can only assume he heard that she liked 40k and then assumed that she liked the same parts he liked

[outer wave]

Broh.....

[crisp heath]

All of my opinions on a subject are the word of god and anyone who doesn’t like what I like obviously is a poser and doesn’t actually like the content

[orchid lark]

So did she like the book?

[rocky gale]

She ghosted him before he could give it to her, so he gave it to me

[green loom]

The eternal 40k polarity of "40k is so deep and vast bro" and "Everyone likes the same thing"

[arctic talon]

[arctic talon]

Doesn’t the guy this is about die in the fucking tunnels under vraks

[rocky gale]

Damn, precog spoilers before the books even released. SMH

[arctic talon]

I’m checking the imperial armor

Smh

I need to know if this guy gets executed or dies in the tunnels under vraks

[rocky gale]

From checking the Wiki, seems like he threw his entire regiment into the enemy until only like 8 survived, including himself. He was then promoted to Command Staff.

[arctic talon]

Nvm he lived

[arctic talon]

Death korps of krieg moment

[orchid lark]

Vraks wasnt even a resounding success

[arctic talon]

It was a failure

In like a ton of ways

[orchid lark]

KriegCopiums gonna be see Krieg is goood at fighting

[arctic talon]

💀

They’re not bad at it

Vraks is just

Lol

[orchid lark]

Badly fucking managed

We will wait out the enemies!

Wheres all the ammunition we were supposed to save?

[arctic talon]

Last thing we needed more lore on

Ngl

Vraks is already super well explored

Then again

Maybe it’ll be good

[queen laurel]

Just keep your expectations lower than the mariana trench and make sure that when you reach the bottom of the trench you dig using a giant drill

[arctic talon]

I don't have any expectations unless its for a faction I like a lot

[alpine ingot]

Would have gotten her the first Cain book personally.

[thorn zenith]

Man i hope to see kriegs getting absolutely demolished, only to quiet down the krieg fanboys screeching about shovels and suicide charges nonstop

[rocky gale]

I wouldn't have gotten her anything until I knew which factions she actually liked

Like the whole point of giving someone a gift is to give them something you think they would like, not to give them something you would like.

[alpine ingot]

I mean, If I was to give someone an Imperium focused book it be that... or maybe the Wraithbone Phoenix.

[rocky gale]

All I'm saying is you can't know which was the right book to give without knowing the persons tastes.

[alpine ingot]

yeah I would ask some questions first to see what she was into before buying any book. Especially a Deathkorps of Krieg focused book

[rocky gale]

Like even if you give them the best Imperium focused book ever written, it isn't a great gift if the person turns out to only really be a fan of Necrons for example

But yea, Krieg is especially a yikes choice because of how specific it is in terms of focus.

[alpine ingot]

we need a second Infinite and the Divine book

I need more Oceans 11 antics from Trazyn and Orikan

[unborn phoenix]

You can really make dozens of 40k lore vids just on named ultramarines lol

[alpine ingot]

I am pretty sure there are more named Ultramarines then there are **Chapter Masters ** named for successor chapters.

hell I know I saw a book that looked to have a Scout Sergeant front and center on the cover as the main character and you guessed it, it was an Ultra Marine.

[arctic talon]

I mean we know the main character is gona eat shit

Since he's in Imperial Armor

[green loom]

Kill space marines

Also this isn't a bit thing, there are maybe a few dozen chapters with named leaders

I wager most of the main line legions and some notable successors have more named chars than there are chapter masters lol

[arctic talon]

^

I'm pretty sure there's more named any first founding chapter marines

then named chapter masters

[green loom]

Not counting dead ones

If we count dead ones then a chunk of the named first founding ones are added in
