Was this not in the ork game?
Ork game was Cadians and White Scars
eclipse happening soon
In Forges of Mars, is the race that created the Breath Of Gods The Old Ones? I don’t know enough about them to say
Seems like it’s a mix of Necron/DAoT tech
Not really clear though what its origin is, similar to Blackstone Fortresses
Which are implied to predate the Old Ones and Necrons, and have tech in them from all the civilizations
I love the "chaos is held back" point. Not like their armies in realspace almost only consist of humans
Good guys of setting, even the biggest baddies have the sole motivation of getting revenge from them, the faction that fucked with everyone
people just dont wanna accept everyone is bad lol
Me Looking at the justification of people defending the imperium ( it's just them throwing racist slurs at somebody )
Officially has a better quote than war never changes at least
LMAO
okay that is good
and like the best way to explain to a vaulter's childlike mindset on how the world was before they got out of their bunkers too
And of course I will also give them props for making the power armor look pretty good
But of course the proportions are not as ridiculous as the one in fallout 4 because let's be honest that thing is way too big
And would require significant CGI to work
Just needs some lots of padding/stilts and it always works
it helps that in fallout its at least normal people wearing it
The gun design is still shit though
i mean what the **** is that

Can't wait to see the Goggins
i only want to watch the show cause I like Walton Goggins, I think hes a decent actor, and the power armour movement reminds me of tokusatsu suits
reminds me of the lewis gun
just has the magazine in a different place
tau good is greater
i played this in a facebook group and there was an old lady who just didnt seem to get it
such is the fate of old people

DAOT?
Dark Age of Tech
Dark Age of Technology
Dark Age of Technology
DOAT
ZOAT
Zoats confirmed
No
They seem to be playing it as a machine gun which is much better tbh
It’s a gun in the games
It’s a reference to a World War II gun, can’t recall the name rn but it’s like a lot of Fallout stuff, a mesh of 40s-60s aesthetics but way more advanced
Yeah in fallout 4 that s*** was a f****** submachine gun
Zolcath the Zoat Goat
gnomes preorder out of stock already 
They probably only made 3 boxes tbh
At least use the 40k one smh
I want a faction of them I love centaurs
Unfortunately I just told GW to not go through with the army
Tell them to stop sending me restraining orders, doesn't matter how many they writeup I'm not going to stop sending them my manuscripts.
Too bad this ones really hard to find
the new ratmen are quite lovely
will be getting a vanguard/spearhead box of them once it releases I'm fairly certain
They look like they will eat babies from the crib
FINEST SKAVEN ARMOUR YES-YES
I wish they weren't absolutely miserable to play in twh 3 but at the same time I am very new to games like that
Skaven are actually very strong in TWWH, especially if you play Skyre. Focus on ranged and warmachines and you'll do wonders. Scavenslaves to get enemies stuck in and make them easy targets for ratling gunners, globadiers or warpfire throwers
Skaven are comically strong
yeah, if you just play head to head with melee units you'll get routed very fast so that might be the reason to the struggles
And care not about your garbage army
yeah slaves are made to be expendable 
Daemons of the ruin storm look weird
Forgeworld does not have a cohesive design for them in art lol
bruh this is shit is not 40k
I don't mind that as a design for a rare kind of nurgle daemon
It looks cool and it's very clearly a fly
The classic nurgle daemons are cuter but that's fine tbh
I see the fly aesthetic
and mostly give up on melee infantry and projectile spam
Tbf it’s a marine who was possessed
That daemon's lats though
It looks like what a blind person would think a 40k demon looks after listening to like 5 HH books
ye
Ulgo could kill plague marine
Oh yeah that's the sister's of silence base on the moon
The way he's described in the book is actually quite a bit creepier than that
I imagined a more like, "Dead Alive" type monster
You realize daemons in lore aren’t all the cookie cutter models we see right?
They just can’t make models for all the weird different shapes and types there are
There’s one in a Grey Knights book which is just a mile high pillar of bone, flesh and tentacles
There’s not really a standard for what a 40k daemon has to look like
There’s some archetypes because there has to be for models but if you’re not sticking to that they can be whatever
mfw a sci fi setting has shitty classifications for ship sizes
What is the most popular space marine chapter?
Sales wise that yeah
Well of course they're the most popular. They're blue
I'm feeling pretty blue rn ngl
they're on all the marketing and everybody wants space marines so ultras are the first you paint
it's like a self feeding cycle since GW then markets ultras more
They make em because they know it sells
its not really them responding back to the customers
the entire reason they are even posterboys is because blue is an eyecatching color
its the same reason why the main tau poster sept went from tan to white
these sociopaths spend hours thinking up this shit
you just isn't that exactly that you just said they do though
Nah my point is its not a self feeding cycle
Ultras are also made in a sense that they are generic enough to be customised into anything else when it isnt a specific chapter
its not much beyond "bright color gets attention"
It’s also an easier color and scheme to paint
Some stores also dont let you paint anyone but ultramarines as your first "free" mini.
Actual crack dealers
Which tends to go for most poster boy factions in 40k is they choose one that’s easy to paint and learn fast
shit i need to call my local store to see if they still have free figures
oh wait a second i can print
This month is a pretty high demand one so get there soon lol
yeah and by local i mean the only one in the province
the only time where i wish i was british
im sure there's worse like being a japanese GW fan
Man it'd be cool if GW tried to do more for the Asian market tbh
I dunno what or how but something
All they'd have to do is hire a Japanese studio to make a 40k anime and open a factory in Asia.
"My Commissar can't be this cute" and "Assassinorum X Family"
"Attack on Titanicus"
They are trying/have tried
Iirc they’ve just built a lot of stores in China
It’s just sometimes it doesn’t connect
not enough Starcraft
I'm painting an entire deathwatch army right now and let my friends pick the chapters for the specific pauldrons and the amount of freehanding I have to do is fucking criminal
I'm going to go absolutely fucking insane

they do get some promotion in Japan
I find it strange that ultramarines are the most popular. I mean they are my fav as well lol, but like they arent very interesting. They don't look that cool ether. Especially when compared to all of the other chapters.
They're just the most all round accessible
this was true even back in 2nd edition
there were slight 'roman' leanings but they otherwise looked like what you would imagine a 'space marine' to be,
the name was also funny
blue is the most popular color in the world
Usually the 1st legion you hear about
The more you get into art and other public stuff the more you realise people like generic.
Slop is slop because it sells well and gets the most attention.
Space wolves fighting in a melee, main character about to die, stray rock from an explosion kills attacker,
"erm that just happened"
10 billion copies sold
GW has a decent ammount of stores in Japan and China nowadays
that explains the influx of violently toxic resin recasts hitting the market
FW east never misses smh
Violently toxic?
yea if that shit ain't cleaned right and you breathe in those particles you're cooked
Forgeworld Guangzhou is very popular in Australia specifically iirc
but they all have an extra 5 wounds on their datacard anyways
Damn and here I thought Smelldivers was toxic
4-years-ago me was a very bad person
My problem is the fat rot demon is built like steroid using predator
Once again, you're putting them into too much of a box.
Not all nurgle daemons are great unclean ones or like that.
Honestly Id like to see more Nurgle daemons that are gaunt and skinny
Like they're past the bloating portion of decomposition
He was a space marine who became a daemon prince.
Later on he takes the form of a giant necrotic snake.

Call me generic one more time...
There's no rules really for this stuff.

LMAO NOOOO
Wrong ping and wrong discord but it can stay
LOL
Ulgo have better abs
You guys wonder if there's gonna be modular weapon designs for the Imperium? Like lasguns with attachment rails, modular stocks, or even bolters with similar configs?
Probably to an extent but I almost feel weapons are made to be expendable rather than anything specialized
You got billions of people to arm and these weapons are likely to be beat up if they're recovered, so they better be tough but ultimately expendable walmart pieces of shit
This sacred the shit outta me
i would probably expect some regiments to have some lower level of standardization for weapon attachments and whatnot
on a galactic scale they got quite a variety of lasgun patterns so it seems like that level of standardization is difficult
and well picatinny rails on everything is kinda boring
If you're good enough to need to customize your gun you can probably commission a special one for yourself
Yea gun mods seem more in the tempestus scion or kasrkin ballpark
Yes those exist
All lasguns of any model accept the same power pack
Guns can change but they are unified in what pack they take
There are a couple of Power pack format from what we know
Yeah
Iirc the Ghosts have some trouble later on because they're being issued gear for the regiment they merged with and the packs don't fit their lasguns
I don’t think I’ve ever read that all patterns work with all power packs before
There’s probably ways to modify it but generally there’s noted differences between packs
Is the dawn of fire series considered 'sturdy' lore?
IIRC they imply that the custodes keep a vast number of successful babystodes in storage to be grown and trained as replacements but in other lore I thought it took ages to get the custodes back to full strength after some post heresy wars
Maybe they more recently decided it was a good idea I guess?
They still have to grow and train them
Ah I suppose, I wonder what custodes 'neophytes' do while waiting for their armour and gear to be custom made, that's got to be the main limitation

Elspeth 
My lady 🧎♂️
They're finally here
Empire's getting Ironsides and Landships 
So they've picked Malakai as the lord 
Damn Elspeth and Bruckner are finally added to the game, anyway...
Goes back to playing the mod that adds them instead
Apparently someone say Epidemius in it too
There's a ton in this update
Plague Ogres too
I would've thought he'd be on his Palaquin
Is this a Bigfoot picture?
Oh shit no I didn't even notice the Palaquin beside the dude on the wolf
Now they need to add it into the game
Dude on wolf is Kzaik the Befouled
Whomst
This is actually the first I've heard of him
How many Glup Shittos can they add
He's not the dude that was the offspring of a GUO and a woman right?
Kayzk
Now I love Elspeth von Draken and Theodore Bruckner but if they were to add Emmanuelle von Liebwitz, then I'd be interested.
Also does the person who wrote the steam page for Malakai know the lore
"Malakai craves nigh-unwinnable battle and fight with mighty foes. As a Slayer he seeks out these worthy combatant to atone for his sins...
When Malakai spent years in Nuln instead of going out to fight
Should have been a LH 
Yeah it's a lil weird they made him a hero but whatever, he's cool
His misachievements include making two blimps that crashed and killing multiple dwarfs
Damn the DLC page for Elspeth doesn't even mention Emmanuelle von Liebwitz
Oh yeah I meant to say lord my bad
She probably will be the quest giver and nothing more
Yea but the page says
"Elspeth von Draken, the Dark Lady of Nuln, is a respected advisor to the Elector Counts"
When she was advisor to Emmanuelle specifically
Like you could atleast mention her
In fairness Elspeth was the advisor of her father before her too
So she did advice more than one EC
If that was being refered to then it would say "Advisor to the Elector Counts of Wissenland" not advisor to the Elector Counts in general
Neither would be wrong though
It would 
"Advisor to the Elector Counts" implies that she advises all Elector Counts

Advisor to the Elector Counts can simply mean multiple Wissenland Elector counts without needing to be too long

Still biggest issue here is Malakai 

Pls be sisters and not the French

The article referenced Killteam and also says
"That’s looking decidedly gothic, and unless Pontifex Zenestra has felt a sudden urge to dye her hair white and tattoo a fleur-de-lys onto her face, that means we’re in the 41st Millennium."

What if they were French sisters?
Well I'm sure we'll see in 2 years when whatever it is finally releases
Ooooooohhhh although they did announce that Morvenn Vahl book a couple months ago, so it might release this Summer alongside the Codex and some new models
mfw fleur de lis is a french icon and it's what sisters of battle use
GW trying to make the french more palatable
Have you forgotten the brettonians
SMH
Actually the Fleur-de-lis isn't just a French symbol, it saw wide usage throughout the middle ages and is typically associated with the Virgin Mary as a representation of a Lily or Purity and was present in the symbology of royal or noble families in Albania, Serbia, Lithuania, Germany, Bosnia, Byzantium, Italy, Malta, The Principality of Moldavia and many more.
As well as present in the coat of arms of many European cities in Poland, Switzerland, countries across the Baltics, Finland and the Netherlands.
how cruel of the french to infect other countries like that
They didn't, it's not a French symbol, the French just used it like everyone else did
It'd be like saying the Cross is an English symbol because their flag has a big cross on it.
Welcome to Bosnia, the country with a quite turbulent geopolitical status. This video covers many of its whacky components. I want to thank you guys sincerely for watching this video as I have been making it for some time now. Hopefully, it was enjoyable :).
That being said, you can join my discord server below, and follow me on twitter, where...
Bosnia indeed, CoA of the Kingdom of Bosnia and the Kotromanić dynasty
Lore chads, have a relevant 40k question
If you're an imperial assassin, and you are a shapeshifter, would it be gay if you, as a man, transformed into a woman and let your homies hit? Asking for a friend.
Male ones exist.
Really?
Its generally women tho because female skintight models sell more
Huh
Spoken like true royalty 😂
In that case, it's complicated
Look, its scifi. We should all be bisexual with the homies at that point
Is it gay for you? maybe depending on how you view yourself. Is it gay for them? maybe depending on both how they view you and their awareness of how you view yourself.
Which reminds me, was doing an interview earlier and was asked "What is your sexuality?" and when I said Asexual they said "I don't know what that means and I don't have a box for it so I'm just going to put you down as straight" 💀
Seems like a question for a 12-year old to debate. It's utterly irrelevant.
I mean they literally are shapeshifters so I dont really think it matters lol
fuck who you want lol
this
Goddamn y'all took a lil goof seriously
Are they mutants technically? I don't remember
They never let the Sigster make a goofy comment in these streets 
I did learn there are actually male Callidus now
would
His ass gets a +4 invulnerable save
That helmet always cracks me up
I want one of those
but like a functioning one that will let me explode people's heads with psyker witch lightning (incel rage)
All I know is if Nintendo had an Eversor assassin they wouldn't let people dressed as Mario visit all those children's hospitals
Never forget the time Nintendo had a woman's house raided and detained by the police for a month because she drew Pokemon lewds.
@green loom Found your next art market to crack into while that woman is in the nintendo torture vault
somebody in my discord posted a pic of an umbreon getting tore up by a ralts in a sexual manner and I wished it was his house that was raided instead
my eyes
MY EYES

Genuinely freaky stuff but ay can't judge a mf for being into what they like it's legal
Omg I don’t realize how based Nintendo was
Based…..
deserved
Oh is he bisexual colors or is it just a coincidence
I have no idea it’s not mine
Oh
That just reminded me, the Gate Crushers (Marines painted in LGBT+ colour schemes) got featured in the latest White Dwarf and chuds are seething about it on Twitter.
The name does kinda suck ngl
that's why i said icon. it's known as the french symbol because that's what it's most associated with. nothing is original and the french get all the glory because they're french and that's all they're good at
The name is making fun of gate keepers
I’m aware
👀

It is very well done for what it’s trying to do though
It’s in white dwarf for a reason
You can find higher quality pictures of each one individually they're great
Omega-level troll move on that one lmfao
I asked Cerb for permission to draw them 
Nice
Yee, it even highlights that page specifically on the website.
also about earlier the thing with the fleur de lis is that is also became associated with french royalty. it's like how americans are known as the pizza people even though italy is the inventor. or greece, who fucking cares
Yeah but literally nobody knows that with the fleur.
Unless you are in france especially
what do you mean
FUCK YEAHHH
That... anyone outside of france wouldnt know its origin
like nobody knows it's french?
not being sarcastic i just wasn't sure
It became associated with French Royalty, because it was associated with most Royalty all over Europe.
i am heavily biased though since it's the symbol on my provincial flag
quebecois spotted
yeah and everybody copied the french
The symbol that was literally the French flag for most of French history right?
deploy the poutine
i literally am eating one rn
The uh what ever it’s called
It was on lots of flags
Blame the Normans
good
you will give a gender to your toaster

it does make knowing both languages more difficult when they share words that mean entirely different things because some stolen french words were taken when they literally had different meanings
i like to imagine i'm a kasrkin
“No I won’t acknowledge they’re led by a fucking daemon primarch on his daemon world in the eye where they build daemon engines”
If I had to make theories on it, it's mostly warp exposure more so than them actively going into chaos worship
It’s literally active chaos workshop
HL2 nailed the 40k gameplay because you're not a hero curbstomping a million enemies
They’re corrupted as fuck
Oh yeah they are
Sometimes literally
like asking for three meals a day
I'd imagine it also depends on the sub sect of Iron Warriors and the warband
The Nobility who were Normans?
r/40klore not having braindead threads challenge
i think my favorite is still uh
"What is the job of an Inquisitor's pilot"

How in their defense he is being clowned on as coping hard
Dude some of the questions are so fucking brain dead lazy
LEGIT
Reddit always has this issue but fuck me
It annoys me because like some people actually ask legit questions
but no, instead the one that gets attention is
"WHAT COLOR IS GUILLIMAN'S CHAIR"
fuck off lmao
Like idk mfer, maybe they FUCKING FLY THE INQUISITOR AROUND JFC
THAT THREAD LEGIT HAUNTS ME BRO
the worst part is everyone treats it seriously
like mfers JUST BE BLUNT
Also when people ask super open ended stuff
Dude this universe is built for fanfic and homebrew
Yes a lot of shit can happen
Also that yeah
i hate it because the redditors there are SO fucking negative with it
"No this would never happen"
literaly the most goofiest shit happens
"Yeah this is plausible"
pick an option junior lol
Or when someone says something with complete confidence when they clearly don’t know
^
Is the emperor woke???
Like some dude said “Dorn still has Ferrus Manus’s skull” which is extremely easy to find out is not the case
And idc even if they just went “I think Dorn still has it”
As ever yeah people just do not read.
I think my favorite is still how upset they get when you just tell them the lore for some stuff is simply because of marketing decisions but they go out of their way to jump through circus hoops and downvote you about it, its so funny
its like you are somehow raining on their parade when its literally sometimes just lazy writing, it isnt that deep my guy lol
"WHY DIDNT EMPEROR TEACH HIS SONS ABOUT CHAOS"
i see these dumb questions daily at this point
So many early heresy questions are just “they didn’t plan it to be as long as it was gonna be, some stuff was rushed or wasn’t thought through”
^
It’s just how it is
Its literally just plot. Is there explanations? Yeah the writers tried
but you dont have to act like it makes sense
just be chill dude lol
There’s always stuff you gotta hand wave or kinda ignore especially in something this size with this many writers
They’ve gotten a lot better about it in recent years but it’s just how it is
Pretty much this yeah. Its why I just stopped visiting r40klore so much which is a shame because there really is some good threads in there sometimes.
I visit there because I hate myself I think and I want to be angry
Maybe I should build a world eater army
The Salt Collectors Warband
World Eater fans on r40klore when they are tasked with doing an original post:
"Omg guys angron and W.E are so tragic!"
"Yes we know."

At least that one Angron dude who always did bold text rage quit off cause he didn’t like Echoes of Eternity
I legit wanna swallow the barrel of a boltgun the moment I see those primarch rpers using bold text every time they write something.
Imagine being that much of a baby cause your primarch lost, weak and pathetic smh.
I only go on 40k subs for femboy skitarii
Its an Usuki Doll based on Dune fool
hes under the Dune Fever
Never stopped being in dune fever since i read the books years ago
Ngl that eclipse yesterday made me feel like I should go collect some spice
And since watching the second film, i am plagued by early 2000s references to it
Eclipse lighting is like sci fi cheat codes
Adam do you smell oranges and burnt toast by any chance?
I have been
I didn't read Dune until the "Gom Jabbar" MBMBaM bit, read the book, and it didn't like it so much that it became my favorite thing for a while
Having dreams…
That does make sense

Dune Fever has taken me aswell, I now say Inshallah unironically
I say that unironically cause i am muslim

The amount of times games from pre-2010s used Fear is the Mindkiller references is also absurdly high
I feel like Dune stopped being pop culture after 2009
It died down just a bit after that
WHAT DID I MISS WHAT THE FUCK
OHHH it’s a dune meme
Not that specific meme you replied

Im pretty sure i got that from twiter weirdoes
Worst part is, i dont remember the context
I thought someone was being weird and posting race play in lore chat
Wouldn’t be the first time 
Wait was that this warhammer discord or a different one
Wait people role play on r/40klore?
Yes
What in the
Something something eliminate the weak (insert minority) gene pools something something make the (insert majority) gene pools stronger
We all should RP
We should
Can we RP as wizards that maintain the lore books and library?
I was an undertale rper 
Oh yeah speaking of, Chadbitor Ian uploaded his newest vid and I super recommend a watch
Why do people LOVE to hate Warhammer? There might have been a load of drama over the decision to move to primaris marines, not to mention the drama when content creators started to argue about who gets to make a video about it, but really, it's all part of a wider problem.

Literally the same coin of idiots
I love having a chapter built around an minor inquisitor Ordo
Except most iron warrior fans are cool enough to go, yeah we like chaos and being assholes what of it

And have the least centrist member of that server try their damndest to fight the worst of their own
Oh please link that reddit thread please
Man id need to find it
yeah its prob buried argh
Damn
yeah these mfers post a lot
Reddit is just the fucking worst man
How much of it was awful flirting and how much was it people scoffing at a woman being in the hobby?
Its sad since I use it alot for information and sometimes news
It was generally the first, the scoffs were downvoted
but like the vibe was just eurghhh
was it just
And then you gotta go "Oh yeah these subreddits are echo chambers"
Pure misogyny
Eugh
Nah just like
"Oh man you deffo need help with that, girls arent usually into this hahaha!"
Mansplaining?
So yeah its pure misogyny
The subtle kind

"Hehe, erm wow, a woman?! Thats, well, kinda cool... if you need some help, hit me up in the DMs milady."
Its like british racism
How do you think they fucking feel watching GW tutorials
Since its whats her face
oh yeah the lady
I feel I know who you're talking about
yeah i forgot her name tho since GW staff are like clones
Or worst theyre clawing at the screen to ask for 1 on 1

You are by relation technically a fucking clone then

I was thinking about that one girl that collabed with Midwinter Minis a while back
I think it was the neon colored bloodletters video
I can only think of Yazzkull?
The one with the onlyfans
But she likes tyranids so it prolly aint her
POV you're a woman who just made a completely normal callout in a games Voice Chat
Well either that or slurs
Can I paint my Start Collecting Khorne Daemons box set in Dana Howl's vibrant, comic-book style? I'll give it my best shot!

Dana's "no airbrush" underpainting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
Oh damn didn't know Dana did a colab with Midwinter
I thought you were talking about Louise Sugden from Rogue Hobbies
She's another former GW person who went independent
Ohhhh
Kinda like that one guy that talks about needing two thin coats and being made a meme of
Aye like Duncan Rhodes or Peachy
Yeah
Anyway I remember hearing something about Midwinter that he uh, one likes nuns alot, and two, apparently ditched a girl just before their engagement for another girl?
The two coats bit?
In general a good painting tip for any medium
So much Nun stuff on twitter now
I'll keep it in mind if I ever pick up minis
I only go by thin-on-thick since I only do traditional painting
My only experience with traditional is poster colour
Oh huh never heard of it
Oh its the kind of paint made for art classes
Ive thus far only worked with acrylics
Its a scoop i think
Ohhh
Oh no wait on the left is like a pot
Oh is this not yours?
Sorry, wrong server
It is but its like fucking years ago
Its okay, getting your ass beaten by children is just normal every day things
Need that milkbender skin
Pilkbender
If I wanted to get bullied by kids, I'd hang out with my nephews
Man im even more worried now 
It'll be out when its out
And we like that, it'll be out when its out
A great work ethic....

what is the hype man supposed to say? that it's an ok game?
"Guys, it'll be okay."
i swear you could dangle keys in front of gamers and they'll get hyped
i don't think i've ever seen a CEO downplay a game. like either they dont say anything like usual or they try to appear hip and gamer
Just dont buy day 1, wait for reviews, etc
The game's not going anywhere anytime soon when its out
Unless its a legitimate scam
the CEO's main job is making shareholders happy if it's a public company. i know it's obvious but they're the last people you'd want to actually listen to
small indie companies dont count of course because private company CEO's dont give a shit
Palworld's one was the only one i can think of
guy literally went
"Yeah we are aware our players are dropping, sometimes its okay to go play other games we dont mind it"
Didn't the No Mans Sky guy try to downplay things like the day before it launched. Everything before that had been a never ending hype ramp.
i've seen this from indie games that spend a lot of time indev too
Yeah but No Man's Sky was an understandable case
since the studio kinda got ass-fucked
and basically had no choice lol
He did, but also he couldnt
Downplaying the game would have made investors mad at him for downplaying their investment and strings they're pulling
this yeah
if you say no to that kind of thing your entire company could go under, so its better to just take the plunge than face with the absolute certainty that you are gonna get terminated
im pretty sure sales wise no man's sky was still a big success
Kinda
it faced a huge backlash and almost died
its why its redemption was giga-tier
^
Enough for them to shit out a couple updates and work on it for a good while
Very happy note yeah
I wish more games had such a comeback
Everytime they push a big update it I think "Hey maybe it runs on my computer now" and everytime it doesn't
i wish games didn't have to release unfinished to be economically viable
Darktide is having such a comeback but you still got a really bitter playerbase
it's an industry issue still
blame bobby kotick. that's what i do
he's a good punching bag
Literally 99% of the time its ALWAYS that position's fault
The execs, the suits, the corpos, etc
I hope he never finds a date
You know who needs to have a big comeback, Peter Molyneux.
Yeah a recent exception is apparently CA, with the employees apparently having a bit of an out of touch outlook
oh man that incident 💀
AAA companies are like cartonishly evil toxic workplaces lmao
who the fuck steals breastmilk
I dunno how they got away with any of that
Oh huh, apparently Moyneux is making a new game set in Albion (Fable universe)
Can he do that?
I guess he can
I would have thought Microsoft owns the rights to all that
Since he's in his own studio now 22Cans
"Molyneux hopes his in-progress title Project MOAT will be an encapsulation of his 41-year tenure in the game industry." 
Oh boy
Tomatoes? Native to North America. Pizza? Only popular because of some italians in New York. Macaroni? Ya ever heard of Yankee Doodle? The Venetian liars who call themselves Italian over in Europe owe the defining part of their culture, cuisine, to America
Isn't the Macaroni referenced in Yankee Doodle a style of dress, not the pasta?
Yes
No idea I copied this off of my friends rant last night arguing with a European
I had to edit it to make it PG-13
Lol
it's actually really fucking funny without the edits but had to keep it safe for public viewing in here
i do find it funny how most european foods come from like the last 200 years
like even modern beer isn't that old
mf'ers acting like they have cultural roots to peasants who ate shit stew every day in the 1300's
It’s interesting how the Welsh first invented the condom using a sheep intestine around 400ish AD.
can't let any part of the animal go to waste
But it wouldn’t be until hundreds of years later the English would improve upon it by removing it from the sheep.
Meanwhile us Irish still be doing that
The Irish did nothing to deserve the English as neighbors
I respect Irish mythology because their creation story is basically "Long ago, Ireland was a perfect land ruled by the Gods where food was plentiful and the sun always shone. We showed up on boats, kicked the Gods asses, drove them underground and now we make them bless our wheat for chump change."
The sheer power move
Excellent taking this for my 40k fic

Intestines hold on what?
💀
It's very complicated, there's like 6 different waves of settlers said to come from different lands, there's Cessair, Partholón, Muintir Nemid, Fomorians, Tuatha Dé Danann, and Fir Bolg.
Cessairians, Partholoneans, Nemedians, Fir Bolg, then Tutha Dé Dannan and Milesians (Irish)
Formorians didn't invade
The Cessarians were also... the Tuatha Dé?
Nah what I mean is the Cessairians were literally the same individuals as the Tuatha Dé Dannan, they just had the names scrubbed off to fit Jesus in
paganism is so fucking based
The Tuatha Dé defeat the Fomorian but let them live and then the Milesians later drown all the Fomorians
who's balor again
then he went to the underworld right
"Balor goes to the mainland and steals the magical cow of abundance" I love that 90% of Irish mythology involves someone trying to steal a cow
Tam Lin: the cow is a cute boy now
I only learned about fomorians and balor because of Warframe 💀
i only learned about irish mythology from a shittier game
Surprised you didn't learn it from D&D
i feel like fantasy settings mix in too many elements to learn anything
Amergin Whiteknee being a madlad is iconic
I thought the name was cool so I looked up the origin
Ngl I only started dming somewhat recently lol
welsh, sheep, and fornication. sounds about right
Power in 40k is really hard to keep track of
You got the custodes, who by all accounts are all in fact, HIM
But have been beaten in duels by regular (named) space marines before
Literally, actually interesting myths
And like how do they compare to something like a bloodthrister
It gets shifted around all the time for whatever suits the plot
Can the best a human can be made possible even kill it?
Also the stupid avatar of khaine thing
Actually makes me really sad for any eldar fan
Dude who in a already weakened state went toe to toe with slanesh who had just feasted on most of the eldar and survived until another chaos god showed up
And the fragments of this dude just gets bodied every story it’s in to show off how strong another dude is like bro this dude oughta roll up and just start telefragging everyone or something
They're not
They're all extremely good but they're not all on the same level and marines at a certain level are beyond a lot of them still.
For context, Trajaan Valoris 1v1ed a Bloodthirster during the battle for Lion's Gate, while a squad of 3 Custodes, one a shield captain, five Grey Knights and like four sisters of silence barely managed to deal with one by themselves.
Marines vary wildly, Abaddon is not anywhere close to some random marine a custodes is gonna eat for lunch easily.
Abaddon also walks through a custode in the fall of cadia
the simple doesnt understand the power of a lore accurate avatar of khaine
GW fears it
So question on a hypothetical if a Orc imagined improving a Bolter from a space marine would that weapon now be impure in the eyes of a tech priest?
Orks
And quite impure cause most ork tech work only for Orks
Only if the Ork got their hands on the bolter and physically altered or modified it, but if you're thinking about the whole "Orks make things happen with belief" then probably not.
Well that’s what I mean by physically acquiring it and modifying it or etc
Ngl I kinda wanna see what that unholy mechanation would look like
dont they already do that?
like i think ork bolters have been a thing for a while
ok so seems like the orks just shoot whatever they can lol
bolts bullets rockets plasma arc
las seems to be the only thing they dont use
They do
Don't some Flashgits use suped up Las weaponry ?
Maybe Lascannons, but I'd imagine Orks would probably think Lasguns are too whimpy
The recoil doesn't threaten to rip your arm off and it doesn't go boom, they'd be throwing it into the scrap pile
they do?
For the Bolters (in lore, not TT), for Las can't find anything
Just remembered when I played a Warhammer Fantasy TTRPG and my character was a Toll Keeper and her best friend was a half deaf Slayer who thought she was a "Troll Keeper"
Good times.
Its heresy therefore bad. The Imperium is hypocritical and self-destructive, they don't care about this stuff.
in the forges of mars books some mad techpriest turns orks into servitors since hes crazy
and the other techpriests are like
"HOW DARE YOU USE THE HOLY SERVITOR FORM THATS FOR HUMANS ON XENOS!"

Did robot ork die?
Yes he had a medical case of explosions.
Okay so when it's lobotomizing humans it's suddenly okay
Wait i hear scratching on the walls again be right back

sorry had to move around some, you need thicker walls
Nameless that wasn't you trust me this one was saying
"It's justified because it's a way to show people that doing the wrong thing is bad the imperium is totally good"
oh yeah no that wasnt me
Yes because you're sane
well as sane as a talking duck living in your walls can be at least
I live with a squig that plays league of legends and helldivers in the same time on two screens with two different keyboards and mouse
You're pretty normal trust me
never hated a squig more than I hate that one ngl
sneak up behind it and just kick the shit out of it
maybe he’ll change
I tried but he decided to get jaw implants strong enough to bite my entire leg off with a single crunch let's just say I am cosplaying as a pirate for life now
He went to a local dog adoption center and ate the pitbulls
He is built different
ngl you gotta just get the hell outta there
I would but when I'm bored he is pretty fun to fight
Just shoot him and then kick him in the leg a good amount of times and he'll back down
Was the story of the lone guard coming between the emperor and roided up Horus real lore or fan content?
Real 💯
Yes but it's now a Perpetual iirc
Yea, it's different now because we've got the Siege books which details what exactly happened, but since pretty much the beginning the lore has been a lone guardsman stood before Horus in defence of the Emperor.
So even though the story in Siege is slightly different, pretty much everyone in 40k would know the story as "Lone Guardsman stood in defence of the Emperor"
I feel obligated to remind you all of the biggest downgrade in human history
Still hurts me ngl
it really should have been the opposite but we live in a cruel world
I think it's pretty meta that the Drukhari model can hurt someone
💀
Whenever a Space Marine player complains about their 30 year old mini that looks like a thumb made out of playdough is going out of production and being replaced with a new model that looks 1000x better I think of the old Archon and feel a deep seething rage.
Every time but alas
you wont find any guard player defending the old guardsmen

the extra paint adds +1 wound
he has the cool pyramid in hand
He pondering his prism
YOu'd be surprised
I've heard someone call the New cadians "too generic" compared to the OG ones 
just put an incubi head on the model on the right problem solved
it's a bitch to paint
if looking like shit makes old GW models unique in the tabletop world then that just speaks even greater about how bad they were lol

GW has had good looking minis always
Compared to the competition
Which is saying a lot back in the metal days
I love all the abbadon kit bashes into homebrew character it implies there’s loads of ppl in giant terminator armor
So how do ogres see fat humans? Do they see them as powerful and/or cool/attractive or do they scoff at them?
are there fat people in teh imperium besides the rich and powerful
Probably but I meant more fantasy
No worries
depends, but probably apply thier culture adn think the fattest human is the most important, if they are plannig to eat them then probably yummers
Fair enough fair enough
the idea of ogryns and sex just dont go together lol
they're like mentally handicapped level intelligent. it's weird af to think about
ooh
OOOH
