Yea and the SAT optional movement was making ground but it totally backfired
As just admitting kids with highly inflated grades does not make for a good college student
Told my parents “I got a 4 on my ap test!” And they said WAHT?!
Since it goes to 5
And they didn’t know
Lol
Lol
Schools all reversed their decisions and reinstated their SAT requirement this year
I hate the test but it serves a purpose
That’s dope
AP testing can be fun
man that shit was stressful because they took us to this tiny abandoned church for testing. it was like straight out of a horror movie
Is it true that American tests are like multiple choice?
Depends on the class and the exam
Act test was much harder
In my classes there’s multiple choice questions but they’re worth like 5% in the exam
Since my reading and science is really good but my math is abysmal
most are multiple choice though, they give you a scantron sheet which is a fill in the bubble so a computer can quickly grade em
or at least it was like that almost a decade ago lol
the funniest thing i've seen recently is that canadian universities require americans willing to learn here to also provide their SAT scores.
we don't use SAT or any type of test.
i will never understand why people fetishize the idea of being smart it's so fucking weird
Lol
what is this hat in the 40k universe???
the watchtower cap i thought was only in fantasy
I think standardized testing and the introduction of technology in the classroom kinda took out the human part of learning and made everything dreary and automatized.
if i didn't have access to a computer i would never have passed through school
technology is the only thing that kept me from failing
seems strange to have it in this game?
Same
All my classes let me type instead of write
Which makes it way more legible and I type WAY faster then writing
it took me a while to realize that actually it's not my fault if i can't write
Not really, it’s associated with hereticus
I remember when I was doing my English GSCE's one of the questions had this picture but in black and white and the Question was worded as something like "Explain the significance of symbology in this image" I think I stared blankly at the picture for 30 minutes and almost started crying.
I can’t hold a pencil correctly
is that a clown carrying a texas flag
Chilean flag
im bad at flags
You do realise 40k didnt invent that shit right
I've since learnt that it was something to do with the Chilean miners trapped in the cave, but at the time I had zero clue what I was looking at
i will never do an IQ test
also apparently its named capotain, i just assumed it was a "pilgrim hat"
I never bothered searching before

this guy looks so fucking bored
he sleepy
uh huh... i don't see knights with spears in 40k either, or flintlock pistols, seems strange to have something archaic in 40k to me
Learning who the anchorite is
or gryphons, etc
Uhhh
Who wants to tell him
Behond the Gun which is also a crossbow
40k is fantasy in space. dont forget that
ayyyy gryphonne 4
shame they got eaten lol
and idk how to tell you this, witch hunters in the 1600s didn't look like that
Its fiction.
Its sci fi fantasy
i have no idea what the point of you saying this was
where the aesthetic of the imperium is overwhelmingly what people consider "gothic"
As in... 40k didnt invent pilgrim hats?
we're discussing fiction, not real life..
i heard somewhere that they never actually had buckles on hats
no my surprised cat
Anyway going back to this and starting over.
40k has a ton of archaic shit because the Imperium is backwards in technology and very medieval in its approach to things to a ridiculous/authoritarian degree.
These guys think they're noble knights
The only reason they got that hat is because some witch hunters happened to wear em IRL and it looks cool on miniatures so people can point and go "woah so cool"
Wait a minute
i literally wasn't talking about "archaic" in the IRL sense, i meant like, there are no skaven in 40k, so it's uncanny seeing a witch hunter cap in the universe
those striders look immensley uncomfortable to ride lol
is that where the solar auxilia mini sentinels went after the HH
They are seperate universes
its not the same thing
Uh
You mean the hat that's been a staple of the "Inquisitorial Witch Hunters" for actual decades?
idk? the Cawdor walkers are made out of scrap metal and salvage
new headcanon
They're basically just taking inspirations from drawings like this
Ordo hereticus aesthetically also was originally very much Empire Witch Hunters in Space
Yeah what she said
it just looks cool
it literally has nothing to do with the Empire of Man
its matching fashion sense
because europe lol
I like killing space ships
i can also pick and choose what i deem lore accurate
???
woah
What lore accuracy
How'd you get a pic of the average world's administratum gathering
Hahaha
Im so confused bruh 💀
picture of GW announcing female custodes
okay but members of the ordo hereticus literally wear those hats in 40k
Zhmarshfsammer
I don't see why thats a huge stretch for you to belive
i didn't want to know about real life history
like ordo heretiucs just wears them
bcs GW decided they should have them
lore wise they're a fashion choice
that's fine, and someone sent an image of space saltzpyre
it's a dumb hat for dumb people
which is fine with me
calling greyfax dumb smh
both universes use it
simple as
you're gona get burnt at the pyre for it
inquisitors have no drip
The protest against femstodes
LMAO
GW still sells this mf'er lol
inquisitors are the most drippy
Iirc
Wow Arkhan Confederates lore
god that guy is OLD
The metal 2000 inquisitor daemonhunter with sword and bolt pistol is goated
That was terrible lmao
this one?
So do these guys
The Union went too far Dilara
they're from age of sigmar and also 10x more insane tbf
no with helmet
What a charming collection of Bretonnian noblemen 🧐
I somewhat want a Grey Haven Bretonnia/Fey Court in AoS tbh
I wonder why she has a cuirass
BECAUSE IT'S DRIP
and GW didn't carry it on in the newer comissars
Severina Raine 
every single custom militarum figure GW has made has been baller
god I forgot how weird Draxus's power armor looks
she wins the award for weirdest imperial made power armor
i thought that was an eldar for a second
yeah it looks like Eldar armor
and she's part of Ordo Xenos lol
and has a Shuriken catapult
the warp?
Commissars cant be women
what
Kayex is so weird
I love Severina Raine, her backstory is ||that she was Commissar to the 11th Antari Rifles led by Captain Lun who was super loved by his troops and genuinely cared about their wellbeing, but then he refused an order to assault a Chaos held fortress because he thought it was a suicide mission, so Raine shot him in the face and led the assault herself.||
Based
It is indeed
slay queen 💅
It's literally
"I can't do what you ask"
"Wasn't asking"
BLAM
You think perty will come around and say I'm sorry I screwed up?
First he'd have to accept that he did anything wrong
Guess he's too petty for that
Female custodes are stupid not because they are women, but because they have entirely female factions.
He reminds of that kid when you're little that just says "nuh uh" to everything you say even though you're completely right
Two entirely female factions
What sense does that even make.
I'm not upset about it personally just confused but I am new to this so that's on me mainly
well didn't you know dilara we already have 2 woman therefore no more woman
💀
It feels a bit stupid, especially implying female custodian's are tzeentch's doing for some reason lol
Girl bossing isn't about being a good person and overall they seem hateful. Get mad at me, but it's hard to care. It's not beneficial and makes them seem like an ass often. I get called many things and isn't the first offensive thing I have said. But usually when people say girl boss they don't mean a genuine component woman but someone who is insecure and thinks they are such a big person
I'm just saying it seems like those men who think they are all that
What?
That’s the fucking joke
Id personally prefer some more sisters of silence exposure tbh
Gatekeep. Gaslight. Girlboss.
It’s a fucking joke
The joke is they’re toxic people
I'm just saying when people usually say that they are genuine
My gf is a based girlboss
I wish I was a girlboss, I'm just a girlintern right now, but maybe one day
These things start as jokes and then people really take them seriously
Okay
I’m gonna girlboss your ass into the fifth dimension
Nah i think we are pretty tame about it here
It's hard to care when I get flak for anything I do it genuinely has become hard to care
Lovecraft upon encountering a squid
B-Because you say the weirdest shit
oh fuck that's good
Mistake was caring lol. I stopped giving a shit like 5 years ago
Oh you're vivid, sorry I didn't recognise you with the name and pfp change
Have you tried not being assholes who are as equally ignorant?
...
I'm just saying
Yes, it didn’t take because you started talking again
I like the forg pfp
Look there you have a friend
You told us you got mental issues and thats fine. Why are you acting like we are singling you out when you are the one acting bizarre or like... you know
gestures
I consider myself ignorant but I wouldn't go far as asshole- maybe a prick
I have a sick mustache tho
I bet it’s only ok
Adequate
Respectable enough
Even when I am right nobody is going to believe me. And, I don't care if I hurt people's feelings or make them mad on the internet like I want to be nice but when I am nice I only get people making fun of me for things that don't matter. Don't get me wrong I am ignorant but some people do take things a little far
I'm always open to new lore stuff
I see what your saying but it was pretty out of left field about people taking jokes too far. Im pretty sure we were all dicking around in this context
Maybe you.
I think we all agree the imperium sympathizers are the perfect example of that
I love watching remembrancer
I only felt sympathy for those in the Imperium not by choice.
Weird hill to die on but be our guest i guess.
Oh i mean like the people who genuinely think the imperium are good guys lol
The imperium are the good guys what you mean
But not to the point of humanity
Purging the galaxy of xenos and heretics
Yes. We know.
Guys can we please keep the conversation on Custodes Women?
Tzeentch plot
We’re getting way off track here
Im gonna tie you to some train tracks instead
Maybe I like driving people insane who knows
Please let's tie this conversation towards which ogre has the cutest belly
How do you measure a cute belly
BRUH
Is it the curvature
Yeah how round it is
Smoothness?
Lmao
A cute belly as in like one you can play the drums on?
And I thought what I said was bad
Whichever one I just opened up with my sword
😔
Innie or outtie
First you put your sword innie
If you have a innie for a stomach you have some issues
And then rip it outie
You shouldn't be having a inward stomach
Most people have their stomachs on the inside tbf
Innie but I see the appeal of outies
The belly is the outside smh
What if the belly was inverted somehow, what then hmm?
Idk whats going on
It's crazy son
Even minotaurs are called to join deathwatch?
Sorry I was drawing
I think the veterans box comes with a shoulder for them?
yea they do/did
I'm not saying I am not one myself, but it's hard to care no matter what I do I see someone is upset. Something I said, but I will never find the answer.
Id say it's a wonder they don't have carcaradons but good luck reaching them since they kinda just roam
Every loyalist chapter is
Carcharadons send dudes too
Knights of Blood also did when they existed
And they’re straight up rogue
They just went as Blackshields
Remembrancer left that out I suppose too many to mention
Kinda hard to list them all lol
But there’s none who wouldn’t be able to join
He named the bigger known ones I suppose
I assume he didn’t say it was a comprehensive list
I figured raven guard would get a free pass since we'll they're going through it constantly
Like I said they’re willing to take chapters who are literally declared heretics or rogue as long as the marine can pass the examination
They have definitely taken Fallen in the past
Carcaradons are one collection I wish had more stuff on them
Its made as a plot device so that you can generally include anyone from mostly any Chapter you want in it.
again, good homebrew example
Astartes got a lot of that 
Just don’t be that fucker who makes a Blackshield in the Deathwatch RPG session whose a fucking traitor marine from the heresy who went into a time vortex
Although I will admit it did lead to some funny hijinks
I don't play tabletop I'm just here for the lore lol
It’s built so you can justify a fuck ton
But don’t be that guy
and think they are being original
If they made a Skyrim like Warhammer game I'd be down
Im the lone defector from a decadent x of y
Deathwatch is in Skyrim im sure
Tbh the bigger issue I’ve had is the groups I play it with we always have to resist just being like 90% first founding chapters
Luckily I just make mine a Red Talon and play an unhinged insane bloodthirsty Iron Hand
no something smaller smh

more portable
You could even use it to like
yeah doable
Simulate combat
They could attach rules and stats to it
Idk if that would catch on though
Sounds expensive and like it would require a lot of effort

Idk what you're talking about tbh

Kill him.
this guy with the froggee picture is cringed
@dusk patrol you copping this?
Do the regular tyranid grunts eat the people they kill or does something else come by later and collect the biomass?
They're not the main eaters
yeah they CAN eat but dont, they are combat-forms
Do tyranids taste good
no
also even the most basic/smallest tyranid's body and biology is filled with hostile organisms lol
I bet the Drukhari could make a killer Tyranid Rangoon
What if I cooked it really well
its literally still infected down to the microscopic level lol
those things literally fight ork spores
thats how deadly a tyranid organism is

really well
So it's like a next level spice
Can you remove the black plague from a piece of meat by cooking it really well
same deal
lmao
Well yeah
no
It's a bacteria
You can take gangrene bacteria and make bread with it
💀
Isn't that a thing like there's an animal in Mongolia that's a carrier for the Black Death and every year they put out an announcement saying "Don't eat this animal you'll get the Plague and die" and every year a tourist does it anyway
Basically what happens is a bunch of smaller tyranids, like ripper swarms, come after the main fighting force. These do most of the eating. Then, giant pits of stomach acid are made and every tyranid on the planet jumps in. Then the hive ships send down these giant fleshy straws and slurps it all up.
Rippers are the primary eaters
along with the uh one nid monster with the big mouth
and psycophages
Although sometimes they leave some goodies behind for another weaker Hivefleet to slurp
I really do love how that shit is just entirely for homebrew stuff too
its the same as like once people were just "renegade marines cant exist"
cue 30k giving you a reason to make renegades from EVERY LEGION, EVEN THE MOST EVIL ONES
blackshield gaming
I do like how some of them went on to become chaos warbands
I want to know the history for some of the more loyalist inclined ones though
yeah same tho still its so goofy
"Why do loyalist Word Bearers exist?"
"UHHH you see they were AWAY on a crusade of their own and didnt know about Lorgar and co going nuts!"
damn, how convenient
lmao
Yeah its whatever
They work well enough lol
also blackshields being like
literally "do what you want, have fun"
Yeah its either like
loyalist renegades
traitor renegades
or my favorite
FUCK YALL, IM GONNA DO MY OWN THING
Lets gooooo
I can't wait for diesel frostpunk 2 later this year
frostpunk 2 looks sick
Hivefleet Kronos is the one I was thinking of, they're the Hivefleet which has evolved to fight Chaos, but because they can't eat Chaos stuff because it just melts into nothingness, other hivefleets basically leave leftovers for them to consume so they can replenish.
however you're forced to have democracy now smh
yeah its such a funny fleet lol
You can't just put whatever you want into law
like child labor
or soup kitchens
you have to vote on it smh
uhh rude, I want my funny polish dystopia
now i want a 40k spinoff based off osmosis jones
I guess I can just play This War of Mine again
Frostpunk 1's "choice" at the end is a little silly tbh
space marine cell
regarding going either full facist or full religous maniac
Based….
since they both do the exact same thing
Ah yes, the movie where Bill Murrey eats food off the ground and gets Super Plague
now granted that might be intentional with how they end up doing the same thing
lol
I like the DLC where's it's Industrial Revolution lack of laws or comically evil Communism
Last Autumn
The DLC has a much better split
tbf you don't go comically evil workers commune
unless you pass certain laws
But did you know that Osmosis Jones got a spin off tv series called Ozzy & Drix?
they start off benign like engineers can be made to work normal jobs
Yah I remember the tv show
and then you get shit like execute enemies of the people
idk all the VAs are british in that game iirc
also finding Nikola Tesla's funny city of the future is funny
you know the whole part where everyones dead
Are we talking about the RTS game?
Yeah Nikola Tesla founded Worker city hell
where it had like brutal work conditions and shit
and then he made a funny electrical dome that was meant to stop snow from falling in the city
and then it literally vaporized everyone in the city
SOLARPUNK!!!!
Iron Harvest is fucking neato
Man i need to find somewhere i can read up on this because i havnt played frostpunk
The wiki has it
bourgeois
Got very confused because that’s my partner’s name
Oof
Frostpunk is fun
So spoilers from infinite and the divine, ||Is orikan like a god now or something with his new form or what’s the deal?||
We don't really know.
Because at the "current" plotline thats where we last see of him.
No, but he can tap into his “transcendent form” every once in a while
He does pop up in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book but he doesn't really accomplish anything IIRC
this always struck me as weird, sure they cant eat daemons but if the whole planet isnt extremely daemon world-ed surely theres plenty of non warpstuff biomass to eat
Assuming, the very nature of chaos doesnt corrupt or rot the biomass on the planet.
or it essentially burns it away to become magic dust for the warp.
I mean, the hive is gonna take bigger hits the more daemons there are, unlike other worlds where all losses can be recouped along with fallen enemies
You get no profit for fighting daemons
its clunky but clunky is the name of the game with faction sub-factions in 40k tbh
some work better than others
True
Kronos is a bit more acceptable when you consider that like literally EVERY Tyranid fleet is controlled by the same entity.
And warp shenanigans pose obstacles if nothing else, so having anti chaos task force is handy
I quite like the though that yes the Hives are all piloted by the same entity, but at the same time they themselves aren't really able to communicate
They are all tied to hive mind.
and they do communicate, its just that sometimes the hivemind decides "Yeah this fleet sucks/isnt useful anymore, eat em."
Rattle em, boys

so... is it true that from now on we can have Custodussy?
never say that word again
Are people actually so pants on head lazy they can’t just google this?
I don’t actually believe any of you mfers don’t know the answer
yes, im a true wh40k fan 🙂
i never read books and never google things 🙂
i only watch Leutin 🙂
I really, prefer not to speak
If I speak, I am in big trouble
And I don’t want to be in big trouble
who said you couldn't have had it before?

what u dont remember the part where mr Horus T. Heresy said to the emperor "i will perish all womens" and then the emperor said "noway dude lmao" and snapped his fingers and horus heresy exploded and women won forever?
It truly was the end and the death of Mr Horus Heresy
Is a female custodes bussy a pussy or a femussy?
custussy
||at this point we just need to see a r34 custody female and then descend into madness||
Im sure its already done
post it then 🙂
Nah
What in the world
it existed before the announcement

MODS ARE HERE SCATTER
that's a leviathan dread right
No
Telemon
Achillus
Galatus
Telemon dreads are only reserved for Custodes who accomplish some extreme feat and sacrifice
Achillus and Galatus are more “common”
Do they still make these?
As far as we’re aware yes although I doubt they need more really
They had issues where not enough Custodes were being injured prior to the current era
So it's not one of those rare lost technologies that we can no longer reproduce huh
Custodes have artificers who make all their stuff, it’s not clear what is lost or not
But they also have access to a lot of ancient tech like Adriatic weapons
what decides if a custodes gets put in a dread or not
If they get too injured
Prior to the current era some had to choose to enter the dreads despite not being injured enough
do all of them have a chance or is it only the most veteran
It’s not clear but we see a “normal” Custodes put in one during the Vaults books
I imagine if there isn’t enough seniority takes priority
Telemons are the only ones where they have to earn it specifically
how old do custodes get anyways? do they get senile like space marines?
The example given is a Custodes who fought on Signus Prime and got poisoned by a daemon during the fighting Even as his flesh slowly sloughed from his body however, Kalimakon fought on for an additional 18 hours, before the battle was won and the Custodes was then placed within a medicae stasis chamber. He remained there for several years as the Horus Heresy raged, until the Blood Angels returned to Terra and Kalimakon was then interred within a venerated Telemon Dreadnought.
They do slow down as they age but it’s not clear when this happens
Those become eyes of the emperor
It’s likely several of their dreads are from the heresy or GC era
Eyes of the Emperor basically act as spymasters across the Imperium and relay information to Terra
Which helps them predict threats
ah ok
They give up their armor and typically leave Terra although some work on Terra too
Work from the shadows, similar to Inquisitors. Working through proxies or using hologram tech.
damn so if an inquisitor meets one of these, who will have the most official authority
Whoever shoots first
right
But generally the Custodes yeah
It happens in Vaults of Terra
An Inquisitor tries to pull rank and the Custodes just laughs
Yeah and even there Neveradar (or whatever the fuck his name is) only "assists" Crowl because their goals allign.
though in his case hes not being arrogant
hes there to save a retinue member
their was a Guardsman that was going to be executed by an inquisitor if I remember and the custodian said no he is important for the destiny of the imperium
he stands up to him enough before just asking nicely
after the guardsman was done being useful he got shot
pretty sure thats a meme
really
That was an Aquilan Guard thing
^
As usual
He was gonna be killed by a Commissar but they intervened because his unique tactics ended up countering an Ork wagh which would have threatened Terra
Yeah butterfly effect shit like that
That’s basically how the Aquillan Guard work
And he didn't get kept around right
The commissariat killed him after they left when he stopped the wagh
They didn't really even bother trying to indoctrinate him into a higher position huh
Jesus Christ the imperium is killing itself one bullet at the foot at a time
He was a Warmaster by then
Don’t ask me how the Commissariet somehow had the authority to just kill him still but I suspect it was more an assassination at that point
They can do it with enough evidence but like yeah that blurb never really elaborates on it because lol lmao.
its still a big political fuckup
There’s an excerpt of a Aquilan Guard recounting his first mission on a hive world where he defended a little pious boy before he gets picked up by an Astartes chapter, the little boys name being Helbrecht.
Among other things, he mentions the targets were everything from Rogue Traders to Saints to Nurses to Preachers to low ranking officers in the guard
Which makes for some very amusing images
Although typically they don’t reveal themselves it seems if they can help it
I mean seeing one of the emperors's greatest warriors guarding a little kid for no reason would get a lot of attention
Aquillan Guard and Eyes of the Emperor are two of my favorite newer concepts in 40k and I wish we got more on them. It’s perfect for a short or two.
Yeah. He never knew the Custodes was there apparently.
He was just there to make sure none of the gangers or whatever killed him before he got found.
I imagine sometimes they’re not even needed totally it’s just insurance.
It would be amusing if he encountered Helbrecht again and just told him “We’ve met.” And didn’t elaborate
Also a Cain story where he’s being guarded by a Aquilan Shield is a funny idea
let the custodes have full view of cain's fuckups and not give a shit
i think they would probably like cain more than most mortals
Depends on the Custodes
Some are pretty friendly, some are cold and completely uncaring
I always liked the idea of one whose overly chatty too
“Have I told you about the time I slew the Ork Warboss Zagh Chaintooth?”
“Uh yes actua-“
“So there we were, forming a battle line against the Orks!”
“So when are you gonna assassinate this traitor governor you’re supposed to anyways?”
“I’m doing what?”
“Oops spoilers.”
Cain tends to be pretty humble, even when hes playing up his 'character' of the famous commissar.
I think he might even be famous enough that some Custodes had heard of him.
Either way, the guy is actually just really smart and reliable. unlike the horde of imperial crazies that make up the bulk of the population
like id imagine custodes would be a fan of kriegers at all
custodes place a high value on the things youve accomplished, and cain has accomplished quite a bit
probably more than some of the youngest custodes
Hes pretty much single handedly saved multiple planets (by accident)
Tbh it just depends on the Custodes
Some are much more personable than others
Some just don’t care at all who you are and are only there to do their job
I imagine some Aquilian Shield literally never talk to the person they’re defending
Even if they’re actively beside them guarding them
Being in the chamber guard is probably not good for one's personality
Like how one of them mentions in the Greyfax/Celestine Audiobook
Some of the custodes get their thoughts scorched out of their minds by the psychic weight
they do fuck all anyway

Custodes are like pilots for airplanes
Airplane pilots are just an expensive bus driver
Much like airplane pilots, they’re not needed much, but when they are you’re really fucking happy they’re there
I don't trust certain bus driver with busses
No way I'm trusting them with an Airplane
The bus drivers in my area will sometimes just stop in the middle of their route and say "I don't feel like driving anymore, everyone off"
Well maybe you should shower more before going out

GW is going all ahead on the retconning train to make the fem space marines
source: my fever induced hallucinations
yall stressin about femstodes but primaris is 100x worse and no one complains about it anymore
What's the main complaint about the Primaris, the height? The additionnal organs or the fact that they pulled them out of nowhere?
Model wise mostly nothing
It's more on the lore part I think that people somewhat dislike them
Design in some cases and haphazard introduction in most
I've read a few complaints about having to rebuy SM armies because size didn't matched anymore.
Yea like Heretic said
the models are fine, I actually prefer the new scale for sure
but they came up with a really BS force majeur plot device to explain remaking all the space marine armies
(which coincidentally made them millions)
primaris vehicles are dumb as hell tho
Honestly had they been released as "True Scale" SM instead of Primaris and mostly no change to lore I think there wouldn't have been any complaints
Yea, pretty much
I don't think any casual opponent would complain about playing with older models tho
Also as an Admech fan, I dislike Cawls' thingy with the Primaris
In most other story I like him
Well, at least there is a real in universe explanation for it now
firstborn (MIDGETS) and primaris
Pretty sure GW have even said at this point that you can use the older models to represent new ones so long as they're on the same base size
^
thats the rule for kitbashing as well
and the model profile has to be similar enough the judge doesnt rule it as too different
Like I've got a Firstborn Deathwatch Librarian that I've stuck on a big tactical rock to make him taller and a 40mm base so he now counts as a Primaris Librarian
like you cant 'kitbash' a bunch of 1mm tall guardsmen from GW models so that they are always out of line of sight behind chest high walls etc
deathwatch are so cool 🙂
I'm always concerned about the "similar profile" thing since it's open to jugment
Yea, you are up to the judges mercy.
ive heard its only really a problem in the UK, ive never talked to anyone who had an issue though
It's usually fine unless it clearly looks like you've tried to game it for advantage
you just send in pictures to get your custom models approved, for GW tournaments in the UK if its a kitbash it has to be entirely greenstuff'd/miliput or made out of GW parts
you cant just use 3rd party models
I'm always worried about the wysiwyg win at all cost player stereotype
i prefer wysiwyg, but i dont play that much at all so
🤷♀️
it gets confusing if everything is a sea of unpainted models proxying for other models
i feel like the game isnt even the point its just to make a cool scene with all your models xD
Wysiwyg is also less of a thing now in 10th
Yea I understand. As long as it stays within reason
But yea if someone has a huge plasma gun and you try to stay its a flamer its kind... idk Id prefer not to do that
Im glad they streamlined the melee weapons
unless its a really exceptional circumstance or its just casual stuff for fun
yea I was building a deathwatch list and LOL
all the guns / melee weapons are just
Long Vigil Ranged Weapon or Long Vigil Melee Weapon
so you can actually make them whatever you want
but deathwatch is a unique situation
(I just really like the blackstar)
its so cool 😄
It is a nice ship
I don't see flying vehicles often in games
I love the necron doom croissant
Flyers aren't great in 10th edition
It has HOVER
Was there a time where Flyers were actually good
Everything I hear about flying units in the table top says they are garbage
I think there was a period in 8th and maybe 9th
Because that's how it goes, there's a brief period where something is OP and then it gets nerfed into the ground and becomes useless
Hover aircraft are fine
Like in 9th Melee was OP, then in 10th they got nerfed
The problem with aircraft is they shoot off the game board every other round
but if they have the hover rule they just play like a tank
pretty much
i wish aircraft were more of a thing on tabletop so the hydra could get more love
the only weakness is maybe they are overrcosted and they are weak to the anti-fly keyword, but plenty of flying units are good
from what i hear aircraft used to be OP though
idk I just started playing :3
i just want to fill the air with large amounts of autocannon shells and flak fire 😔
They did, indeed, used to be OP
I recall when the concept was first introduced in 3rd edition with the vehicle design rules
And then they came in 5th or 6th ish
In essence, back then, any unit shooting had them had penalties to both range and the to Hit roll
And most aircrafts had…good AV to protect them (back when Armour Value was still a thing for 40k)
And also an invulnerable save roll to “jinx” out of incoming fire.
And they carried weapons that were mostly high strength, low AP pie plates of doom (also back when blast templates were a thing)
Majority of the armies also had no anti air capabilities
Sinking cost an Anti Air unit that may or may not be used
In speaking of aircraft. A 40k game that plays like ace combat but with imperial fighters would be neat
Really late but
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.

HIGHLY recommend this video by Ian
its 46m but its very well rounded as far as takes go
especially since he goes over all the salt regarding the issue
He has understood the way of the thumbnail
also late but the height is the one good thing that most people agree on
i keep hearing about sweet baby inc and i still dont fucking know what it is
Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian narrative development and consultation studio based in Montreal. Founded by former Ubisoft developers, including scriptwriter Kim Belair and product manager David Bédard, the company consults on video game narratives during development to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within game narratives and studios. S...
LMAO
of course it's based where i live
GOD DAMMIT THAT THUMBNAIL
what does it even have to do with GW
it's a video game consulting company like wtf
Baby Inc has been under some scrutiny due to apparently pushing for more, well for a lack of a better term, 'woke' stuff into video games to an apparent detriment
I saw some news, then got disinterested like a day after lmao
under scrutiny by who
It was a big game journo story about a month ago
People noticed a correlation between games they consulted on and personal opinions of staffers in that company etc
gamers yet again proving to be the most mentally stable people
Seems like typical 4chan tinhat conspiracy garbage, they think Sweet Baby Inc is controlled by BlackRock and is manipulating the games industry
They're apparently forcedly inputting identity politics in videogames and companies, and Brazilians and a lot gamers had enough. Weird why journos and certain politicians are going full throttle on the backlash against the boycott
So many buzzwords lol
a lot of "apparently"'s
how is it forced if they're being paid to perform something
i don't get it
From what I gathered they consulted on a ton of things but their President is a PR Nightmare that went too gung ho in a speech about "threatening" companies into using them iirc
Thats pretty weird to do
"who, where"
alan wake 2 character being black is supposed to be the damning proof huh
i thought the 50's were last century
They're basically just consulting writers that other studios hire to help them write scripts and dialogue. People are just using them as a scapegoat because they've worked on a couple of bad games. They aren't forcing diversity themselves it's just that other studios will hire them when they want someone to write a diverse character.
I mean they've also worked on good games like GoW Ragnarok
idk what else people expect from former ubisoft game devs
In all seriousness, the sweet baby inc boycott is a normal consumer response to some arguably very badly made games.
My question is why journos and politicians demonizing the protestors and calling them villainous buzzwords when the boycott originated from Brazil
i mean even if they like to advocate for certain things, they're being paid to do so, so i don't get the controversy
it's not like they're holding devs at gunpoint
the devs hired them...
I think it was how it was executed
Like their MO pretty much just seems to be "We specialise in writing minority characters because we're writers from minority backgrounds, so hire us if you want someone to write minority characters authentically" So they're not really forcing anything, people are going to them and hiring them because they want to have these characters already
just because it's controversial doesn't mean it has any truth or importance
And they've worked on some very successful, well received games.
God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, Alan Wake 2.
just seems like another instance of people getting mad at minorities because games are bad instead of understanding that the reality is that the devs fucking suck
idk how else to say it. find something you dislike and pretend like lots of people are angry about it. it happens all the time
no
I didnt read the message i just like saying "no"
then normies will think that it must have some truth to it otherwise why tf are people talking about it
On the account of not wanting to get the boot, let's just say there's more to the Sweet baby inc boycott than just diversity
And the journalists are probably going after them because the "Anti Sweet Baby" groups on both Steam and Discord were found to be breaching TOS massively
Because they're 4chan conspiracy nuts
this all seems like conspiracy shit
literally this entire convo started because a braintrot channel posted a video about sweet baby inc stuff influencing GW tabletop
it's not even a fucking video game
Tbf someone did ask about who Baby Inc were
i did
Yuh
Funny we call conspiracy theorist nutcases, but when there's a good chunk of truth to their "conspiracies"
Awh god that song's bangin'
that band SLAPS
starting with a grain of truth and twisting into a narrative is LITERALLY how conspiracies work
Just like how a commissar would dismiss the accusation of a general going to chaos, and executing a guardsman despite the proof he has
the problem with conspiracist is that they're always right no matter what
And often times, when they're right. We all get screwed
arch is that you
if they're proven wrong by evidence, the world's govermnent is hiding the truth very hard for real !!!
so there's no point agruing with conspiracists
The perfect cover story
you gotta be a racist norweigan to be arch
also refer to goblins with the n-word 💀
yes he did this
He's Norwegian?
HE DID WHAT
LMAO GAMER WORD GOBBIES
I'll never understand why he did that
dwarf moment
Its still on twitter
he edited a video and posted this on the internet
Literally
god its like 3 years old
id need to dig
like i said he purged most of the vids from his channel, it was hilarious since he got caught/mass reported
idk how they went by first
DM it, doubt tubby shark and fellow mods will allow it here

Heh, sweet
Real talk though, my first time hearing goblins actually speaking and showing semblance of a culture, albeit a barbaric one, was in baldurs gate, and it was a total "huh" moment
I'd still kill them
You've never seen talking goblins in any sort of medium?
sorry gobbos
Same, no mercy
I love gobbos, they got funny noses and funny voices
Except Goblin Slayer gobbos, those can die
I mean anime too, but still that desire to war crime them from existence is high
Ah fair enough
Orks just killed too many of my guardsmen from dawn of war, so....yeah
Goblins in Faerun are just so evil, their three main gods are Maglubiyet the God of War and Slavery, Khurgorbaeyag the God of War and Oppression and Nomog-Geaya the God of War and Authoritarianism.
THEY'RE ALL WAR GODS
There's also Bargrivyek the Peacekeeper
God of Peace and cooperation between Goblins
And War against everyone else
So...kill on sight?
Who is this man comin' up to me
Bro didn't play Farcry 5
Shame
I feel like we should but is there like any known references to a mk9 power armor for SM?
I know it’s probably been asked a lot but this thing has bugged me forever
I dont think Ive ever seen this asked in this chat before
https://www.reddit.com/r/40k/comments/6c5sur/was_there_ever_an_official_mk_ix_power_armor/ Apparently no
Damn
GW kinda forgot 💀
no, Cawl/GW Skipped it
because X is catchier
Clearly they skipped IX in honour of Sanguinius
Do you guys wonder if the guard or Tau used silenced or suppressed weapons?
They do
Everything seems to be LOUD
How do you suppress a lasgun
for Tau and we've seen silenced guard weapons in books before
idk
Generally it’s projectile guns
Make sense
idfk how tau silence pulse guns
Heck I rather have that for DT
railguns I can understand prolly
Probably rail guns
I don't think stealth is viable for energy weapons
Neddle Gun are often silent
Too bright, and traceable
But that's like an assassin weapon
Not exactly accessible to the wider Imperium
It’s not very uncommon
I watched this video and I agree with the idea but its not really about primaris marines really, its about the culture of groupthink and the commodification of outrage
I think the storyline around primaris is pretty bad among 40k plotlines and Ive never watched any of these videos
He pretty much nailed it completely imo.
its very much abou the culture groupthink aspect of it
the 40k fandom is extremely touchy about shit that doesnt matter
I hate primaris and Im not a part of that tho lol
Have you actually read the storyline of primaris even tbh?
bits and pieces, I read one cawl book on my phone on the way to work and the rest of it I read on the wiki
Like one big thing I feel like people miss is, dumb stuff can make good stories if you just write it well enough
Anything sounds dumb if you break it down
Primaris is just a marine with a spoofy helmet and paint job....
yea thats true, I didnt read the books, though I am looking at reading some of the guilliman novels
I read the Lion el jonson book that just came out
Or like, I dont like Primaris but I just don't care enough to get upset about it and simply stick to "Eh dont like em but thats it."
people just make it an entire identity
I don’t love everything about primaris but I also think people don’t actually read the source material for it
They’re invested in being upset
Lmao this for everything
I like the models, I just dont like the plot line cause it kind of invalidates lore that came before.
Not in like, a logical sense but a theatrical sense
It’s the same shit with people being upset about the Warhammer+ stuff when I don’t think GW actually copyright struck any of the creators
nothing about primaris is PRECLUDED in the lord but it does go against certain themes that I personally find the most appealing about 40k
yea Emperor TTS didnt get copyright struck
I wonder how silent a Dark Lance would be, like I know you're basically shooting a black hole at someone but I imagine it's one of those things where despite having such a massive impact and visual spectacle, it would just be eerily silent.
they just decided to do it out of caution
Tbh it was more a good excuse
like star wars, all sci fi guns need a big sound for people who dont know what a dark lance is too know whats going on lol
The shit was losing steam and it was like years between episodes
The WH+ hate should be more towards how they treated the people they hired
like, the "leaks" the studio members made were so bad lmao
but like its literally non-existant now
nobody cares about WH+
and its basically half-dead, so like its whatever
I liked a lot of the WH+ animations, I subbed for a month to watch them
They were ok
Pariah Nexus and Interrogator were good, i liked them
the other ones seemed really bad so I didnt watch them
LMAO
"I liked some of them"
lists the only good ones

also Interrogator slaps, wish more people saw it
Yea it was really really cool
the other ones were so ugly that I didnt even touch them
I watched like 5 minutes of the blood angels one and was like god damn
youtube animations look better than this
😬
What even happened to the Astartes guy when he was hired for WH+?
Did he just leave that one project unfinished?
Uhhh its unclear
basically
he got hired
went completely off the grid
patreon page stopped focusing on 40k, now its just his own animation stuff that isnt warhammer
the theory from me is he gave GW Astartes 2 like almost a year ago now and its just in storage until they wanna release it
then thats the last we'll see of Astartes
Its how they treated Lost Legion Studios the guys that made the Exodite, they took em in, cut the project up to a lot of things, removed a lot of other factors from it (it was ognna have space marines, striking scorpions, kroot, gue'vesa, etc" then just released a shoddy 30m "film".
Im glad I got his original thing downloaded on my laptop
Just in cases GW goes on a copyright spree
Yee
God thats so shitty
I hope we see change in the higher ups at some point since those big wigs are probably getting old
Its up on reddit, was posted from a burner Lost Legion member account, if you can find it now it has a DELETED USER on it lol
Fuckin yikes
