I hope most of it is just swearing and telling a random fish character to fuck off before throwing it into a furnace

i genuinely would have been happy with gravis armour replacing terminators

#

it looks so much cooler

viral halo
#

Gravis armor is badass

spring cairn
#

gravy armor

crystal forum
#

aggressors are peak design

gray umbra
#

Dont terminators have like some shard of big e's armor in their codpiece or something

crystal forum
#

terminators have protection but no firepower yet nid genestealers still cut right through. like why bother

#

just bring an aggressor and pulverize them with twin linked autocannons and rocket launchers

storm jungle
#

Its effective at what it does.

#

No weapon is fullproof.

lunar harness
#

no firepower?

storm jungle
#

Stats dont really mean much

we already see them kick ass in lore so like lol

yea thats why u play deathwatch :D

anti infantry 2 LETS GOOOO

crystal forum
lunar harness
#

but also yea you dont normally run the terminators themselves in deathwatch, normally you put them in a kill team with a bunch of marines that also have special weapons

dusk patrol
lunar harness

so you get a wierd ass unit thats 5 veterans, 4 terminators and a bike thats "one unit"

deathwatch is so wierd xD

Genestealers aren’t even common. They’re a pretty elite form of Nid.

storm jungle
#

They are vanguard organisms too

#

i always hated this argument

crystal forum
#

i thought genestealers were GNC

storm jungle
#

GNC?

dusk patrol
#

Also like, it’s not like terminators don’t mostly shred them still.

crystal forum
#

sorry GSC

storm jungle
#

they are tyranids

#

cults are like a side-hobby to them

dusk patrol
#

They’re just a threat

lunar harness
# crystal forum are their claws made of adamantium or something

Bonesword - Boneswords are blades of living chitin that wear away and grow back. They crackle with the Hive Mind's psychic energy and are very effective against armoured units. Boneswords are also used by the servants of Genestealer Cults. Grown from the Genestealer Patriarch's osseous throne, these Boneswords are sentient weapons that thirst for the psychic energies of the cults' adversaries.

#

most tyranid weapons are essentially force weapons

#

melee weapons*

storm jungle
#

they get deployed in main invasions too

#

or are seeded on spacehulks

#

they got OP claws because they are vanguard units expected to survive longer

crystal forum
#

whatever i still prefer aggressor design over termies

storm jungle
#

bad take

#

kill him

dusk patrol
#

And once again, it’s not like marines can’t deal with them. Terminators and marines fight enemies which can cut into their armor all the time

storm jungle

dusk patrol

They’re just dangerous

storm jungle

Its dog-eat-dog

ok you guys are right

If I were to put an ogryn in terminator armor, how strong would he become?

dusk patrol

You’re entitled to your opinion

then you see it rip open a tank

#

lol

lunar harness
#

tbh I kind of dont like how ogryns are in the lore

#

too strong and too dumb

#

darktide ogryns are better

storm jungle
#

Thats because they are made to be that way

crystal forum
#

mike tyson tried boxing a gorilla once but had to be told no

storm jungle
#

they are essentially a slave-race

outer wave
#

storm jungle
#

Ogryns are dumb because they are kept that way

lunar harness
#

yea but past a certain point its literally distasteful

outer wave
#

Hence we need an ogryn faction where they break away and do their own things

lunar harness
#

theres dumb and theres like...

storm jungle
#

the Imperium is bad

#

so thats the point

#

it is distasteful lol

crystal forum
#

i want a heavy intercessor squad with thunder hammers

lunar harness
#

okay but we dont need to literally depict shit like CENSORED, CENSORED and CENSORED

theres a line we draw to keep it tasteful

storm jungle

I mean they arent mentally damaged tho

#

they are just children

outer wave

#

They're just simple

storm jungle
#

Yep

#

they dont get educated

lunar harness
#

in darktide they are at least

outer wave
#

That said, I do wonder how quickly ogryns could learn if given the devices and time

storm jungle
#

They are still normal humans

#

so pretty much like us

#

their gigantism doesnt effect it

#

since its a part of their genetic makeup, they are adapted to it

crystal forum

at least they dont look like old fantasy ogres

I want them to be a copy past of Warhammer Fantasy's Ogres

they're cool but they belong in fantasy/aos

storm jungle

ogres are too cool to be associated with 40k

lunar harness

Im fine with votann having big dwarf themes, I honestly wouldnt mind if they were even dwarfier

storm jungle

Maybe if the mongols don’t wanna end up stereotyped as an invading army they shouldn’t have done all that invading and pillaging and razing of cities back in the day

💀

outer wave
crystal forum
#

amazing comprehension by the 40k crowd yet again

storm jungle
#

BRO ITS LITERALLY THE TRUTH

lunar harness
crisp heath
#

Tbf the statue of Ghengis Khan is mostly because he was also a shaman

#

And shamans become protecting spirits when they die

lunar harness
storm jungle

ask any person from mongolia online and they'll go:

#

"yeah ghengis was awesome lmao"

#

cue slaughter montage

crisp heath

Oh no they love the guy no fucking doubt

crystal forum
#

dilara it can also be a racist stereotype

storm jungle

okay but like

crisp heath
#

That's just a huge part of why his relevance is pretty much limitless

crystal forum
#

and trust me it's used in english places

storm jungle
#

thats literally the only part of history mongols care about

lunar harness
#

Ghengis was "blessed by great sky" but I wouldnt call him a shaman, he was a chiefs son whos path to conquest started with him getting revenge for the murder of his father

dusk patrol

Do you have the same energy with literally

#

Every fucking other stereotype in Fantasy

storm jungle

to be fair

he has a point to a degree

dusk patrol

Like the Bretonnias are actually offensively French

Like I can agreed that minorities can have issues because the communities and systems they predominately grow up in but to say they’re racist is just

there are systemic structures in place that can make certain people perform worse on the SAT than their potential might otherwise be but thats a much more involved discussion and not really the SATs fault

it discriminates against people who cant afford tutors for one

I tutor the SAT often and used to run an SAT tutoring center. Calling the test "Racist" is odd lol.

lunar harness
#

I think the problem isnt that testing aptitude is bad, you want some form of meritocracy so the students most likely to make the best use of limited resources (like a spot in a presitgious school) actually get them, but that there are systems in place that make certain ethnic or cultural groups less likely to succeed.

crystal forum
#

it's a systemic thing

dusk patrol
#

If you grow up in a poorer community you’re at a disadvantage

#

That isn’t a race issue

#

That’s a class issue

Also grades don't really matter in USA schools if they're not above a B bc of grade inflation

lunar harness

yea but class and race are tied together inherently

schools are all reinstating their SAT requirements bc "sat optional" was a failed experiment btw

all i can say is do research which yeah sounds like i'm selling you some essential oils but it's all i can say that would convince you because i'm certainly not doing that

It isn’t, there’s plenty of people from minority communities who aren’t poor

#

And plenty of white oeople who are

viral halo
#

and does everything a tutor can

winged jacinth
#

the SAT is classist and a substantial part of american classism stems from racism

#

it is unfortunately a complex and interconnected topic

lunar harness
#

For example in the 1940s the american government gave millions of dollars worth of home loans to white families and not to black families, which caused a generation wealth gap that just explodes over time. this single event has cause a massive disparity in generational wealth between white and black families of similar income at the time period. this is just ONE example of how race and class intersect

and many of the people whom were discriminated against are still alive today

people do college degrees on this stuff it's annoyingly complexe

I don’t disagreed classism and racism can be connected

But a middle class or above black person is not gonna be worse off than a poor white kid or whatever

a black kid with the material conditions to go to a good school is not disadvantaged in the SAT, yeah

some people have to do that

So inherently it’s a class issue most of all, it’s just minorities tend to make up a lot of poorer communities

thats what I think

the SAT also interacts with the old bugbear of "some poeple are just better or worse at standardized tests"

yea thats true, but what if you live in a culture community where doing that can make you a target for violence or home abuse? or you dont even have the material conditions to go to a free tutor? (still need books and pencils, and a safe home to come home too)

@crystal forum To answer your question earlier, I have never known poverty besides a poor example set by my biological father who squandered his life after my mother dumped his ass

my family immigrated from germany after the war and were engineers in the US, building up generational wealth here that I have benefited from. I am from a place of privilege and need to be more honest about acknowledging that and not letting it affect my opinions from a human perspective.
