#

Yeah but differnece is in darktide every weapon does something to an enemy unlike HD2 lol

spring cairn
#

yeah but it's clearly not intended by the devs

thorn zenith
#

Theres also EAT and my beloved recoilless

spring cairn
#

because that gamemode wonky

storm jungle
plush mason
#

i need to farm super samples x.x

dire apex
#

If you think those are the only two viable bot support weapons you’re crazy

storm jungle
#

Quasar is an absolute must

#

lmao

plush mason
#

Quasar is a most for both

thorn zenith
#

I mainline anti materiel rifle for bots with eat for heavies

storm jungle
#

same reason why its gonna get nerfed to the ground

lunar harness
#

that's it, take one of two guns and always 500kg and you have two slots to play with at that point so its your choice of orbital laser, walking barrage or orbital railcannon. and that's all 4 people, every game. and if it isn't they are not doing anything and dieing 100 times

plush mason
#

one shots the chargers with a head shot

queen laurel
#

OK so why the **** do they have something higher than suicide mission

lunar harness
#

recoiless is strong if someone actually loads for you

storm jungle
#

its just not different

storm jungle
#

every match is the same

crystal forum

storm jungle
#

They are gonna make a Deathwish update

queen laurel
#

holy shit

spring cairn
#

i hope

coarse pumice
#

before quasar was around I was starting to bring EATs

#

all the time

lunar harness
#

i can run every single build on the game pretty much in auric damn

spring cairn
#

EAT is very good

#

it's constant

near wasp
#

Wait were discussing helldivers today hell yeah

thorn zenith
#

Quasar is too sluggish for my taste, and i believe in rocket supremacy

spring cairn
#

your teammates can use it

#

and if you die, it doesn't matter

crystal forum
#

autocannon is good for bots

spring cairn
#

you don't have to go play fetch the weapon

green loom
#

I use AMR

orchid lark
thorn zenith
spring cairn
#

AMR is godly for bots too

#

2 tap hulks

coarse pumice
#

I actually don't know what damages the factory walkers and where

lunar harness
#

try taking the HMG into bots helldive, or eagle napalm and see how much fun you have

thorn zenith
#

I also mainline AMR with a supply pack

dire apex
#

I flip between ac, amr, and laser cannon

thorn zenith
#

With a god damn knight smg for the hectic moments

green loom
#

I kinda wish Primaries were more useful isntead of just like, the Eruptor or something

crystal forum
#

i've seen people defend the HMG

lunar harness
#

my favorite loadout is grenade launcher with supply pack but unfortunately bota are immune to grenades so i can't use my favorite weapon against them

coarse pumice
thorn zenith
#

Theyre immune to grenades?

dire apex

Grenade launcher murders devastated patrols and bot drops lol

spring cairn

grenade launcher is good against bots

Pally is just making stuff up at this point

#

helldivers is a very easy game compared to darktide

#

imo

storm jungle
#

nah it is

#

its a casual shooter

#

it doesnt require a lot of strategy

#

its why it has a massive playerbase

dire apex
#

It’s easier to die but death is less punishing

thorn zenith
#

I agree, you could stealth your way past some things rather than just slog through everything

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Its also more or less impossible to lose

#

the game is extremely generous

crystal forum
#

yes i see many people coming from other PVE shooters acting like dying in helldivers is the biggest sin

green loom
#

if I'm struggling I just use autocannon and then it's mostly just not running into the enemy

thorn zenith
crystal forum
#

dying is part of the game

storm jungle
#

every life is worth it

#

the moment you drop to 1 digit it gets tight

lunar harness
# crystal forum grenade launcher is good against bots

when i get home I will post a video of a shield deveststor taking an entire grenade reload to the shield without staggering. i also have a video of me using 16 reloads into a factory striders face without killing it

dire apex
crystal forum
#

you shouldn't be quitting the match at the first death is what im saying

storm jungle
#

...

near wasp
#

Stealth is actually really strong in helldivers. Smoke bombs and grenades actually do wonders

storm jungle
#

people do that?

coarse pumice
#

what usually happens is I am alive for ages, but my ammo and stimms have run low

storm jungle
#

LOL

crystal forum
#

yes

storm jungle
#

god i hate this community

coarse pumice
#

I pick up supplies and resupply then immediately die

crystal forum

i only host games because i've seen it happen too many times

solo bots is broken

nobody should feel proud of it

dire apex
near wasp
#

I wish airship fabs were easier to destory though

green loom
#

My favourite people are the ones who can't aim stratagems and just end up killing you

lunar harness
crystal forum
#

heavy devastators have insane accuracy

#

it's ridiculous

queen laurel
#

@storm jungle let's say the standard squad of Helldivers with all of their gadgets somehow ended in a planet that is infested by orks, how long are they going to last

coarse pumice
#

how well does the scorcher take them out?

near wasp
lunar harness
#

you regularly fight 20 shield devestators at once, with 4 hulks/tanks

dire apex
coarse pumice
#

dominator better?

dire apex
#

Best primaries for killing devs are dominator and defender

crystal forum
#

hulks and tanks are easy to kill

near wasp
crystal forum

i seriously dont get how people find tanks hard targets

near wasp

One shots devistors with headshot

thorn zenith

lunar harness
#

the new weapon from the warbond is really good at killing devs. i forget its name but its nice.

#

the explosive one

crisp heath
#

Jump on tank and give it a nice explosive grenade if one is brave, lol

dire apex
#

Eruptor yeah

storm jungle
lunar harness
coarse pumice
dire apex
#

Hulks got so much easier once I learned that they have their own leg meta

storm jungle
#

Half of these points im hearing are "its easy"

Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face is my rebuke lol

dire apex
#

If you disable both legs they just die

storm jungle
#

okay but again

coarse pumice
#

I've seen enemies spawn literally popping into existence behind another player

storm jungle
#

how do you do that under fire

near wasp
lunar harness

storm jungle

or like

thorn zenith
storm jungle
#

think of even worse players

crystal forum
#

just die there's no penalty

dire apex

It’s a constant fight

seriously people need to accept dying in the game

storm jungle

theres no "you arent under fire" moment

near wasp

Smoke nades

i always shoot all bot patrols

unless you stealth

Stealth is eh

i want problems always

i have a problem where i must have the highest kill count in the match at all times

Like I'm pretty sure the entire planet is coming to kill you

lunar harness
queen laurel
#

The moment you are spotted

crystal forum
#

you are not supposed to fight in bots

you're supposed to run

Bots are easy once you start shooting down dropships and targetting commisars

my teamates hate me

thorn zenith

If i dont have a train of chainsaws after me, that usually works

crystal forum
#

i play games to kill things

lunar harness

the chainsaws are so hilariously weak and easy to kill its crazy lol

near wasp
storm jungle
#

people only die to them when they are distracted

#

their job is to rush and expose you

thorn zenith
#

Theyre just fast and annoying, but not a problem when im ready

coarse pumice
#

they're their pressure option

storm jungle
#

yep

#

even the most basic bots can kill you in a few hits

winged jacinth
#

Bots 9 is... doable... but not on seismic survey lol

storm jungle
#

LOL

lunar harness
#

i miss when shriekers would one shot you with their corpse falling on you out of the sky, that was cool

crisp heath
#

LMAO xD

thorn zenith
#

Seismic noooooo

near wasp

No it wasnt

crystal forum

bots 9 has a couple of missions that are impossible

near wasp

That sucked

storm jungle

skill issue

clearly you didnt know to run away

civilian evac is not doable

like the high difficulty matches go from

winged jacinth

"haha this is fun"

to

coarse pumice

what's surprising is the bug:bot killed ratio isn't bigger in favour of the bugs than it is

storm jungle

"man fuck this match LET ME FINISH ALREADY"

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

so never

dire apex
#

Level 9 Evac is only possible with the diversion strat

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

Nah

#

its doable

#

you simply just not need to bring bot sto the evac post

#

and kill commissars

lunar harness
#

i legit think 90% of the problem with bots is you can only take 4 strats. up it to 5 and you have a MASSIVE increase in the power of off meta builds

storm jungle
#

but hd2 players are stupid so uh

#

good luck with that one

💀

Bugs 9 is massively easier than bots 9 for sure

commissars are the biggest issue

the moment that flare is in the air its joever...

crisp heath
crystal forum
#

patrols dont need a commissar. they'll send a flare with most units

comms are the ones that do it the most

Get expendible anti tank and a quasor and you can drop all three dropsships yourself

so kinda

sacred ginkgo

I miss when alarm enemies were very visible and preventable

storm jungle

its not well programmed

yeah it used to only be commissars but solo players were playing it too easy

They used to have

winged jacinth

Plus once you see the fart its too late

dire apex

Not always

But it’s very tight timing

Well we have no screen edge disadvantage anymore so they gotta up the ante

Alright, imma start a war in here.
Who would win?
Basic UltraMarine, armed with a Chainsword and a Plasma Pistol

versus

3 Jedi Masters, single lighsaber each.

Setting is: Hive City clearing/courtyard.

Fight is to the death, no running.

storm jungle
#

Both

#

depends on the situation

#

not really a big argument

dire apex
storm jungle
#

a Jedi and a Marine win situation is about as situational and "it depends" as what kind of character they both are too lol

#

they both arent pushovers but like

#

basic marines also die to the most embarrassing shit too

winged jacinth
#

Basic ultramarine is not a psyker and a jedi master can lift a small spaceship with their minds

storm jungle
#

^

dire apex
#

And Jedi can die to getting goomba stomped

Mace Windu literally crushes Grievous' chest and if he wasnt showing restraint he'd be fucking dead

all he gets is lung cancer thankfully

A space marine is no where close to a jedi

Ultramarine? Toss a grot at him and he perishes

Who wins one wizard that can pick me up with magic or a knight?

storm jungle

also like

#

3 Jedi Masters?

#

bro that marine is dead in like 20 seconds

#

a single one is about as deadly lmao

orchid lark
#

Jedis are also faster than you think

storm jungle
#

Yeah they are literal Imperial Assassin tier threats in some cases

winged jacinth
#

Jedi are also mildly prescient, supernaturally fast, have swords capable of deflecting plasma somehow, and of course are all psykers

sacred ginkgo
queen laurel
#

The marine is lucky that it's a jedi if it's a sith

storm jungle
#

we have over 30 years of lore about jedi too, they do some wack-ass shit

orchid lark
#

Space Marines arent end all be all

storm jungle
queen laurel
orchid lark
#

Space Marines do use cover too did you know?

#

A single space marine isnt deadly

winged jacinth
#

A jedi vs a librarian is a more fair matchup but it gets into "my magic is more magic than your magic" territory

orchid lark
#

A company with the complement of its support staff is deadly

#

A single squad of marines aint much

#

A squad of marines with their support is.

#

Space Marines are literally fancier soldiers, not some mythical magical knights

storm jungle
#

its the same as people that think a single marine company could take over earth

#

lol

#

like... do you know what airstrikes and abrahms tanks are

or just... anything

Theyll take the earth, assuming they cant eat all those depleted uranium slugs from jets and tanks

tarkov was always a game for sweats by sweats

orchid lark

Stalker but poor

crystal forum

a game that doesn't know what it's supposed to be yet has created an entire genre

it seems like a lot of the processing should be fairly easy to parallelize considering how the game works

it's only 3 devs

winged jacinth
#

i mean from a technical standpoint

crystal forum
#

doing everything from scratch

#

artisanal coding

winged jacinth
#

there are tasks that are very hard to parallelize and tasks that are easy to do so (and tasks that can be called "embarrasingly parallel" but this isnt one)

crystal forum
#

dont speak about dark magic to me because i dont get it

winged jacinth
#

most of DF's processing is "ok now what is this actor doing" and it typically doesnt matter what any of the other actors are doing for what the answer is

#

i used to write a lot of asynchronous code it's never truly easy but sometimes its easier than others

#

except for those "embarrasingly parallel" tasks like processing records in a database where you just go "uhhh every time a thread finishes processing a record just pick up the next one"

no amount of whining on the discord or reddit affected it ofc

they might have made the defenses easier on the last day or something yeah

winged jacinth
#

"the cape will NEVER return"

storm jungle
#

they either fail or succeed but its always the usual cycle

#

"GUYS ATTACK HERE"

#

"STFU"

snow fern
#

it's just a damn cape

plush mason
#

and honestly its a really good looking one

lunar harness
snow fern
#

I know it's lore or whatever, but where's my edna mode no cape style?

winged jacinth
#

i have heard stories of people TKing others for having it but i also get told that people get kicked at the end of quickplay games and that hasn't happened in the like 100 games i've qped into

azure knoll
#

question about the dark mechanicum: what parts of them are considered dark? is it just that they don't hate progress as much as the regular mechanicum does?

winged jacinth
winged jacinth
azure knoll
#

i did hear they combine daemon and machine which is not great but like... there's gotta be some chill ones which defected because they were more open-minded than their marsian companions

winged jacinth
#

yeah probably but they're not numerous or active enough to even be minor players

#

plus you can get away with a lot just look at cawl lol

azure knoll
#

not cawl literally being the smartest semi-mortal human out there currently

winged jacinth
#

it helps he has like 8 brains and an extra computer version of himself

snow fern
#

Dark Mechanicum and Heretek are different

azure knoll
#

i was going to mention cawl in that when they (tech-priests) go for progress, the stuff they create is miles better than what big E or dark age humans could do

winged jacinth
#

i wouldnt go that far

#

the emperor did space marines in like a couple centuries the primaris took thousands of years and many more people

snow fern
#

Primarus are impressive, but I don't think anyone can rival E on genetic engineering

winged jacinth
#

they're also an iteration on space marines

azure knoll
#

i would, personally. maybe not to the dark age bit, that was exaggeration, but the only reason big E was able to make the primarchs and many other things was because he was a psyker and could create things in conjunction with warp stuff

winged jacinth
#

theres plently of psykers around and they're not building stable tunnels into the webway

azure knoll
#

because they aren't big E level psykers?? what kind of a comparison is that

winged jacinth
#

a big part of big E being smart is he was around for most of human history

#

the golden throne is a device it only requires a psyker because magnus did a really bad job

snow fern
#

Also didn't do damn anything for nearly all of it

winged jacinth
#

he was studying the blade (scalpel)

arctic talon
#

They don't call themselves that though

#

often its the "True Mechanicum"

snow fern
#

They're the faction that sided with Horus during the heresy

arctic talon
#

and the adeptus mechanicus are the thrice damned traitor mechanicus

#

lol

snow fern
#

They aren't very organized

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

they're even less centralized then the adeptus mechanicus

winged jacinth
#

its kinda odd that other perpetuals dont seem to know anything about men of gold times

storm jungle
# azure knoll question about the dark mechanicum: what parts of them are considered dark? is i...

Late but the misconception is to be labelled a "heretek" you basically can get accused of being one simply by not adhering to some thing in the Mechanicus creed, a guy thats just trying to make slave labor's job better by improving their air conditioning or giving them human rights can be considered a "heretek" in the eyes of the mechanicus simply because their creed mandates that anyone should be happy to be working for the mechanicus and not rise above their station as unaugmented humans for one example lol

Chaos Dark Mechanicum meanwhile either truly believe in the chaos gods or see themselves as the "true" mechanicum.

snow fern
#

are there any perpetuals left?

winged jacinth
#

too busy playing video games to study antimatter physics

storm jungle
#

also like

#

darkmech are literally admech

#

but with more spikes and daemons

#

they are both literally equally evil and thats fucking funny

#

lmao

snow fern
#

yah, admech has less daemonengines, and dark mechanicum has more spikes, that's about it

azure knoll
winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

He was with Jason and the Argonauts

#

also in WW1

#

also in the Gulf War

#

also in Vietnam

#

💀

azure knoll
#

and can perpetuals not be born later on, with big E being one of the older ones?

storm jungle
#

it doesnt matter

#

basically because like

winged jacinth
#

he was frozen in a cave between 2050 and 30,000 like the minions

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

perpetuals literally appear when the plot demands

there isnt a definite number

theres both artificial and natural perpetuals

#

its dumb af

arctic talon
#

I'll have you know I didn't touch 40k till 6e lol

snow fern

5e is rather new especially since before it's release, Pathfinder 1e was the most popular "dnd" and that was what? 08?

winged jacinth
snow fern
#

wait were talking 40k

#

fuck

storm jungle
#

its a shit cape

azure knoll
#

if i was alive and around wh40k by that time (i played dawn of war: dark crusade and it was already old), it is old lore

arctic talon
#

lol

crystal forum
snow fern
#

I only remember oldcrons cause DoW1

azure knoll
#

like, when i played dark crusade (best expansion of dawn of war), the game was on a similar level to warcraft 3. shit's old

winged jacinth
#

as i understand it the creek cape is special

storm jungle
#

Yeah it is but like

crystal forum
#

if i was around 40k in the 2000's i'd have a good guard army

storm jungle
#

its really not that cool

#

so lol

azure knoll
winged jacinth
#

yeah just explaining that not everyone got it and thats the drama

crystal forum
arctic talon
winged jacinth
#

i like it for certain armors

arctic talon
#

they had pariahs

azure knoll
#

which dawn of war are you talking about?

arctic talon
#

Pariahs got removed from existance with newcrons

snow fern
#

DoW1 had oldcrons, their only narrator was a pariah

arctic talon
#

DoW1

storm jungle
#

Oldcrons first appeared in Winter Assault which was a DoW1 DLC

arctic talon
#

I'm talking bout 1

storm jungle
#

they properly became playable in Dark Crusade

arctic talon
#

It was still oldcrons in DC

storm jungle
#

which is

arctic talon
#

tbf

storm jungle

also DLC

storm jungle
arctic talon
storm jungle
azure knoll
#

nah there's no way

snow fern
#

dow had a lotta dlc

winged jacinth
#

sort of DLC

arctic talon
#

Its oldcrons

#

I swear on god on god

azure knoll
#

3 to be exact

winged jacinth
#

they released them as standalone games? sort of? at least on steam

azure knoll
#

i do not trust steam releases

snow fern
#

they were seperate discs originally

crystal forum
#

when was the last time tempestus has had any lore

azure knoll
#

if it's old and doesn't require a cd and a cd-key to activate, ion want it

crisp heath
crystal forum
#

wiki is once again god awful for getting information

snow fern
#

what is there to be said about tempestus? they're elite troopers

winged jacinth
#

i think scions were last mentioned in DT item descriptions lol

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

then they just appear now

#

as elite troopaz

snow fern
#

karskin are only remembered cause everyone loves their paratroopers(same tbh)

arctic talon
azure knoll
#

when did new necrons come out?

storm jungle
#

uhhh

arctic talon
#

5e codex

storm jungle
#

5th ed?

azure knoll
#

dark crusade came out 2006

winged jacinth
#

kasrkin are remembered because they're super cadians

storm jungle
#

kasrkin are remembered because they are car skins

#

🏎️

arctic talon
#

Codex necrons 5e came out in 2011

crystal forum

kasrkin are remembered because

  1. cadia
  2. GW only sells cadia
  3. cadia
azure knoll

2008 BRUH

arctic talon
#

necrons didn't get a codex in 6e

#

lol

snow fern
#

give me chem dogs, I want my army of dirty bomb collar wearing loot rats

arctic talon

Then again could have been worse

crystal forum
#

i NEED my valhallans

till 7e

storm jungle

HAHAHAHA

crystal forum

waaaah

storm jungle
#

dab dab dab

#

I love being evil

#

jokes aside they'll prob be kill-team

arctic talon
#

From this shit

storm jungle
#

ah yes

azure knoll
#

how come i remember necrons from DC being basically identical to what we now know about necrons?

storm jungle
#

the sex book

arctic talon
#

To this lol

storm jungle
#

because they basically are

#

they just have leaders that think now

azure knoll
#

dark eldar co-sex

arctic talon
#

Because realistically Necrons in DC act just like how you'd expect necrons to

storm jungle
#

yeah like we talked about this a few days ago

arctic talon
#

Newcrons personaltiy really only shows

storm jungle
#

the ground-necrons are literally still the same

arctic talon
#

when they're with each other

storm jungle
#

they now have actual leaders but

arctic talon
#

otherwise

storm jungle
#

your troops will never see em anyway

arctic talon
#

they're horrifying murder robots who don't talk

storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

and if they do talk its entierly to mock you

winter vessel
#

Funny metal skeleton goes clank clank

azure knoll
#

so the only difference you guys were talking about between newcrons and oldcrons was that newcrons have leaders with personalities?

arctic talon
#

Oldcrons were slaves to the C'tan

#

newcrons enslaved the C'tan and shattered them

storm jungle
#

Oldcrons were just mindless robots made to serve the c'tan yeah

#

and the c'tan were numberous

#

THOUSANDS OF THEM

#

...

azure knoll
#

like 70% sure that you get to manipulate shards of c'tan in DC

storm jungle
#

AKA ONLY 2

#

No you summon the literal c'tan

arctic talon
#

Newcrons start having a "brain" at immortals and above

#

not that immortals are very smart

#

but they have some very very dry personality

arctic talon
#

Those are warriors

storm jungle
#

BRUH

arctic talon
#

Immortals can do complex things like

#

take cover without being told to

arctic talon
#

and think of a solution

azure knoll
#

WAIT THESE THINGS ARE CALLED PARIAHS IN ENGLISH?>??

arctic talon
#

Warriors are actually as dumb as a bag of rocks

storm jungle
#

Immortals when you tell them to cease fire:

My Ex

flesh

azure knoll
#

because i played the game in czech as a slovakian (basically the same language) and they were called what i assumed was originally "outcasts" or something akin to "scum" or "the disliked"

storm jungle
#

I mean its accurate

arctic talon
#

It is

snow fern
#

pariah does mean all those things

storm jungle
#

pariah literally means an outcast/pushed away person

azure knoll
#

and i associate the word "pariah" with anti-psykers and anti-psykers only

storm jungle
#

Ah fair

snow fern
#

true

winged jacinth
#

they're called pariahs because they're made from human pariahs, which are actual social pariahs because they're psychically unpleasant to be around

storm jungle
#

they take pariahs

dusk patrol
#

Also they stink

storm jungle
#

and make them pariahs

#

so that they are pariahs

snow fern
#

the pariah gene does make you unlikable

#

from general unpleasantness up to on sight violence

azure knoll
#

i just looked it up because i went like "hmm. these pariahs.... i don't remember the unit's name being in modern lore. is it those guys that they're talking about?"

winged jacinth
#

i REALLY hope the indian translations dont call pariahs "dalits" that would be fucked

storm jungle
#

dont forget being such a doomer you are literally invisible

snow fern
#

Jurgen is the best soldier

He does it to give people a real reason to not be around him

storm jungle
#

holy shi

#

hes me!!!

#

I AM HIM

azure knoll
#

i just didn't read enough on the units to know what was happening because to me the games were "space marines screaming 'FOR THE EMPEROR', csm being cooked outta their mind, eldar making 0 sense with their buildings"

storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

To be fair they are

#

Loyalists are dumb, Chaos are dumb, Eldar go around being CSGO players.

winged jacinth
#

this is all accurate yeah

dusk patrol
#

40k fans when they read about the asshole no one likes and who does everything he can to push everyone away while thinking he’s smarter than everyone else

azure knoll
#

and necrons were "green on black slow hard hitting static dudes" and my mind went "yeah that's the shit!"

rocky gale
#

The strat for Eldar was full invisibility and the just hide from the AI while giggling to yourself

dusk patrol
#

“Omg he’s me”

winged jacinth
#

the eldar do the elf singing trees into buildings stuff except with psychic gunk that comes from... somewhere?

#

where does wraithbone come from?

storm jungle
#

its shaped into reality

dusk patrol
#

They materialize it

azure knoll
#

the warp™️

rocky gale
#

Wraithbone is stored in the balls

storm jungle
#

BRUH

winged jacinth
#

oh its literally a permanent manifestation ok

dusk patrol
#

Well

#

We can fix the permanent part

azure knoll
#

yup. adeptus ridiculous recently made a video on wraithbone and wraith constructs

#

if you don't actively dislike the podcast, of course

storm jungle
#

which we mostly do

winter vessel
#

I call Wraithbone the Nokia of 40k

azure knoll
dusk patrol
#

Don’t need a video to have it explained to me

winged jacinth
#

it would be funny if wraithbone disintegrated around pariahs and wraithlords would just fall over if they walked by one

dusk patrol
#

They manifest it with psychic power

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

It’s like hardlight stuff but made of psyker stuff

storm jungle
#

I had a friend who doesnt even like eldar try to watch it and he couldnt stand the presentation

#

lmao

snow fern
#

wraithbone is like solid warp but not warpstone level of silly

winged jacinth
#

im not gonna listen to a podcast about 40k i listen to one podcast and its sadboys

azure knoll
#

i get the eldar stuff but the podcast in general? anything bad about the rest of the episodes?

storm jungle
#

Uhhh depends

#

I like Bricky

i might just be too hardcore of a brick fan

I didn't think scions were schola progenium, only comissars and sisters?

storm jungle
storm jungle
azure knoll
#

and he actually understands things and stuff so when bricky's explaining something that DK finds cool, DK just repeats it in a cooler tone to try and emphasize it to the audience

dusk patrol
#

There’s a lot of things it branches into

storm jungle
#

Its Commissars, Sisters, Scion, Arbiters, etc

snow fern
#

gotcha, I really gotta read more stuff

dusk patrol
#

Commissars receive similar combat training as Scions but are kids who show the aptitude for leadership and what not more

storm jungle
azure knoll
#

sanctioned psykers also i think?

winged jacinth
#

the schola is just "military academy"

storm jungle
snow fern
#

oh god after all the rt dlc comes out half the crew is gonna be orphans

dusk patrol
winter vessel
#

Don’t forget the wall of students that line up the Schola.

dusk patrol
#

We just don’t hear much of them

winged jacinth
#

army logistics officers still go to west point

rocky gale
#

Although seems like some Scions might be in slightly different Schola's because in the Raine novels the Scions were still raised on their homeworld and with their local culture

azure knoll
#

their bones shall forever reinforce the walls of the structure

storm jungle
#

also uh speaking of psyker school, theres a really funny "perk" bar you can get in Dark Heresy if you are making a psyker

azure knoll
#

for if they fail to provide with skills, their bodies shall suffice

storm jungle
#

and it displays all the traumas you can pick up

azure knoll
#

hell yes!

storm jungle
#

from your psyker having been in the telepathica

its so fucking funny

theres no way there's only one schola progenium lol

storm jungle

oh hell no

theres billions

azure knoll
