yeah but it's clearly not intended by the devs
Theres also EAT and my beloved recoilless
because that gamemode wonky
Trust me its intended, clearly a skill issue on our half as the players

i need to farm super samples x.x
If you think those are the only two viable bot support weapons you’re crazy
Quasar is a most for both
I mainline anti materiel rifle for bots with eat for heavies
same reason why its gonna get nerfed to the ground
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
one shots the chargers with a head shot
OK so why the **** do they have something higher than suicide mission
Yep this is my main issue
recoiless is strong if someone actually loads for you
its just not different
Not true at all
every match is the same
helldivers 1 had 14 difficulties
First game has FIFTEEN! difficulties
holy shit
i hope
i can run every single build on the game pretty much in auric damn
Wait were discussing helldivers today hell yeah
Quasar is too sluggish for my taste, and i believe in rocket supremacy
autocannon is good for bots
you don't have to go play fetch the weapon
I use AMR
Based
I actually don't know what damages the factory walkers and where
try taking the HMG into bots helldive, or eagle napalm and see how much fun you have
I also mainline AMR with a supply pack
I flip between ac, amr, and laser cannon
Clearly another "skill issue" 
With a god damn knight smg for the hectic moments
Side panels or the heatsinks on the top. A good 500kg on thr head also works
Yea na hmg is indeed ass
Hmg just needs a ammo increase and a fix to its sights and it would be A tier, it can kill a factory strider to the eye in 25 shots
I kinda wish Primaries were more useful isntead of just like, the Eruptor or something
i've seen people defend the HMG
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
WHAT
500kg is what I've generally found success with, but I don't always have it - but going for side panels I'll try
Theyre immune to grenades?
Grenade launcher murders devastated patrols and bot drops lol
(no)
grenade launcher is good against bots
Pally is just making stuff up at this point
that's true for 90% of the games content. IF THEY JUST FIXED IT IT WOULD BE GOOD. lol
Thats what im saying, my impact is very handy
nah it is
its a casual shooter
it doesnt require a lot of strategy
its why it has a massive playerbase
It’s easier to die but death is less punishing
I agree, you could stealth your way past some things rather than just slog through everything
Yeah like even against a bio Titan assault you can reliably pull up a giant bomb to erase that
yes i see many people coming from other PVE shooters acting like dying in helldivers is the biggest sin
if I'm struggling I just use autocannon and then it's mostly just not running into the enemy
We got a whole ass nuke in the first game, siren and all
That depends
dying is part of the game
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
That’s coming to 2 as well
you shouldn't be quitting the match at the first death is what im saying
...
Stealth is actually really strong in helldivers. Smoke bombs and grenades actually do wonders
people do that?
what usually happens is I am alive for ages, but my ammo and stimms have run low
LOL
yes
god i hate this community
I pick up supplies and resupply then immediately die
i only host games because i've seen it happen too many times
solo bots helldive is MUCH easier than with a group
Were you shooting directly into the shield at close range? Cause that will cause the round to bounce, if you shoot the ground next to them they stagger in one shot
I wish airship fabs were easier to destory though
My favourite people are the ones who can't aim stratagems and just end up killing you
the shield obviously
Like the game isn't hard, I started playing last week and have been doing fine on Suicide by default 
me coming to your position with eagle cluster bombs
So the worst place to shoot
My favorite people are the ones who cant fucking hear a hellbomb is armed or the loud ass charging up noise or me telling them to run as I armed it then end up dying to it
you should not be shooting the shield. same with AC it takes a ridiculous amount to do anything
about the throw a strategem
get shot by bots
drop it by my feet
i hate heavy devs in general they're too strong
this is just funny though
Nah ac can stagger through the shield but of course it’s better to shoot the head but you don’t always have the time to set up the shot
it's only 3 shots to the body. way more to the shield
the problem is shield devs hit you out of lining it up
@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
how well does the scorcher take them out?
My lucky armor will keep me safe, ill just get an early extract by being launched into the stratospheric
you regularly fight 20 shield devestators at once, with 4 hulks/tanks
It works but it takes a lot of shots
dominator better?
Best primaries for killing devs are dominator and defender
hulks and tanks are easy to kill
Dominator is pretty good
i seriously dont get how people find tanks hard targets
One shots devistors with headshot
Oh the shield, that thing eats a rocket
They probably don’t know about their weakness against impact grenades
the new weapon from the warbond is really good at killing devs. i forget its name but its nice.
the explosive one
Jump on tank and give it a nice explosive grenade if one is brave, lol
Eruptor yeah
its easier said than done
One literally clambers to your position and rushes to kill you, the tanks tho i agree with
2 impact grenades kills a tank from the front lol
flamer hulk pops into existence behind you
"nothing personnel, kid"
Hulks got so much easier once I learned that they have their own leg meta
Half of these points im hearing are "its easy"
Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face is my rebuke lol
If you disable both legs they just die
okay but again
I've seen enemies spawn literally popping into existence behind another player
how do you do that under fire
Tarkov experaince coming in handy
they do give you 25 respawns though
flamer hulks are the bane of my existence. they're a lot easier to kill with stun grenades though
Okay so i should just waste 3 lives trying to kill one dreadnaught before a dropship drops 2 more?
or like
Game sense should be something that people have but somehow is not
think of even worse players
just die there's no penalty
You try to put yourself into a position where you aren’t under fire or kill the enemies before you are under fire
It’s a constant fight
Its helldivers against bots
seriously people need to accept dying in the game
theres no "you arent under fire" moment
Smoke nades
i always shoot all bot patrols
unless you stealth
Stealth is eh
i want problems always
THEY NERFED SMOKE SO HARD
you get discovered the moment the patrol stalking you catches your ass
fml

smoke is useless now its so sad
When
In the first place the moment combat erupts you would never be able to stealth
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
a couple weeks ago. smoke doesn't drop aggro like it used too
The moment you are spotted
you can restealth and you can tell when you aren't detected because the music changes
Bots are easy once you start shooting down dropships and targetting commisars
Smoke airstrike is clutch for me
exactly, this is why its not fun though lol
i agree. which is why i always shoot everythingn
my teamates hate me
If i dont have a train of chainsaws after me, that usually works
i play games to kill things
the chainsaws are so hilariously weak and easy to kill its crazy lol
Khorne tells you to claim skulls
yeah because they are suppose to work in tandem with othe rbots
people only die to them when they are distracted
their job is to rush and expose you
Theyre just fast and annoying, but not a problem when im ready
they're their pressure option
Bots 9 is... doable... but not on seismic survey lol
LOL
i miss when shriekers would one shot you with their corpse falling on you out of the sky, that was cool
LMAO xD
Seismic noooooo
No it wasnt
bots 9 has a couple of missions that are impossible
That sucked
Seismic is so ass
civilian evac is not doable
Shrieker ginsu patch legendary
Bring 8 turrets
what's surprising is the bug:bot killed ratio isn't bigger in favour of the bugs than it is
"man fuck this match LET ME FINISH ALREADY"
that's if your team has a brain and has upgraded their turrets
Level 9 Evac is only possible with the diversion strat
We've had like 3 weeks of bot major orders lol
Nah
its doable
you simply just not need to bring bot sto the evac post
and kill commissars
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
That’s the diversion strat
its not a strat its just not being spotted
They actually are building the Super earth propaganda it's lore accurate
Bugs 9 is massively easier than bots 9 for sure
i am forever thankful that crossplay is optional
i do not enjoy console peasants
BURPING
yes with open mics
xbox open mic lmaooi
Dont forget the smoke detector with a low battery
get kicked bitch
I got so many Chinese guys yelling in Chinese over dogs barking lol
I have a throat mic like a tanker and loudly drink water without push to talk
OH MY GOD YEAH
also like
they write in chinese
and i reply
"you do know i cant read that right"
lol
Im pretty sure they constantly drop on top of people?
“1989 remember tank man”
My Aussie friend often gets put into matches with Chinese players so he gets to see leaked content all the time
Kinda depends
i cannot believe it china is trying to take over super earth
nope LOL
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
I miss when alarm enemies were very visible and preventable
then the bots stay inside the downed dropship and then fire at us
its not well programmed
lmao
yeah it used to only be commissars but solo players were playing it too easy
blame solo players
Any raider can and will, blowing up packs to kill raiders and walkers is important
Funny that the bugs have four different tiers of fodder enemy, and all of them can sound the alarm
They used to have
1
2 if you count the variant
3 if you count the highest diff bullshit
Plus once you see the fart its too late
I have no nonracist comment about this lmao
Well we have no screen edge disadvantage anymore so they gotta up the ante
I hope arrowhead makes any of the marksman rifles usable someday
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.
They are, they had a poll for it, my hope is the ars get buffed with them
Who shoots first
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
Basic ultramarine is not a psyker and a jedi master can lift a small spaceship with their minds
^
And Jedi can die to getting goomba stomped
Que the died to a magically thrown rock
Shove a las gun in their mouth and shoot
Mace Windu literally crushes Grievous' chest and if he wasnt showing restraint he'd be fucking dead

all he gets is lung cancer thankfully
Ultramarine? Toss a grot at him and he perishes
Yeah Jedi literally kill worse things than marines all the time lol
He could have literally killed pal if anakin wasn't such a sand eater
Who wins one wizard that can pick me up with magic or a knight?
also like
3 Jedi Masters?
bro that marine is dead in like 20 seconds
a single one is about as deadly lmao
Jedis are also faster than you think
Yeah they are literal Imperial Assassin tier threats in some cases
Jedi are also mildly prescient, supernaturally fast, have swords capable of deflecting plasma somehow, and of course are all psykers
And have wizard precog
The marine is lucky that it's a jedi if it's a sith
we have over 30 years of lore about jedi too, they do some wack-ass shit
Thats not even counting their force magic
Oh boy
His ceramite armor can withstand extreme heat, with the lighsaber being a Plasma sword.
I do not even want to imagine what will happen to the poor guy
And a space marine dies from being shot with a plasma gun
Can the gaps stand the heat?
The one video game sith guy is on par with an alpha+ psyker
Starkiller
Lightsabers can literally cut through the hulls of ships
Can the vox grille stand the heat too?
Yeah but the plasma gun is strength 7 versus tough 4
LOL
Power armor also doesnt protect against potential vadering
Pretty good parallel if you ask me
Space Marines arent end all be all
Power armor almost protects against nothing that isnt small-arms fire too
A very skilled jedi if he was forced to do so could literally just clench his fist and crush the armor like a can
A jedi vs a librarian is a more fair matchup but it gets into "my magic is more magic than your magic" territory
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
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
Watch the vietnamese trap them in giant holes
The local m1 abrams about to turn one of those guys into a crater
Theyll take the earth, assuming they cant eat all those depleted uranium slugs from jets and tanks
Like
Space marine when he learns how cheap an rpg-7 munition is 
Be real
Drones would be wraps against them
Space Marines when they learn when they arent in a book the enemy can just drone strike them to ashen pasted shit

The local idiot with a smaw
We also have guardians that are a freakish crowd-control device, blast em with the no-no vibrations
yeah like if fighting against Tau had no plot-restrictions your entire platoon would die to sniper drones
Ethereal O'bama 💀
The librarian might be dangerous but even he has his limits against the glory that is fully automated weaponry
same with humans IRL
They land in america and let me tell you the state of texas is going to turn them into slag
I snorted at this LOL
Im sorry but its true
😂
especially since one of the writers in GW said tau styl eof fighting is styled on Nato nations
i hope you like having your weddings drone striked

When the artillery shell comes over the horizon at supersonic speeds 
Because of the nato thing
Go ahead
We talk about worst topics here everyday what is another one
We talked about racism boobs wars what else
Nazis
The tau planet sept of Is’Rael is actively combatting their enemies the Tallarn
They claim the attack on the earth sept homes were an attack after the settlers arrived there
Not really touchy, it’s just Reddit
Eh, just not really good to talk about in such a weird manner
Lmao
I hope this is real, old lore and not the lamest joke about a genocide
Im more muslimer than you
It’s like when mark hammill was comparing the Ukrainian war to empire vs rebels
Sunni and shia together
When do i get my fake turkish mustache that i bought
least oppressive imperial governor
Kindest General after bombing the georgian border

We will free our abkheezi brothers and sisters from georgia
To whichever international agency is looking through
This is a joke
Back to helldivers i think the funniest balance issue is the best semiauto pistol is the machine pistol in semiauto mode lol
I am 90% sure that everyone here can be convicted with a type of war crime with the amount of s*** we say
I ain't even going to lie chief we are cooked
Nah not me
I trust my chechen brothers to save me
On the bright at least i didnt get banned in league
Some player was like oh wow another malzahar player, and the game muted me cause i replied with k y $

Love the game to bits
Least psychotic league player
We should talk about tarkov…
I hate milsim
milsim?
tarkov is not milsim
Well regardless about how you feel about it’s collapsing rn
Why
when was the last time a new player started tarkov
Because of this
Introducing the new edition for Escape from Tarkov - The Unheard Edition. Players will get access to PvE co-op mode with persistent progression. Progression will not be reset with wipes. Enhanced stash size (10x72), unique in-game ID, armband and many more features.
Pre-order Escape from Tarkov on the official website https://www.escapefromtar...
tarkov was always a game for sweats by sweats
Stalker but poor
a game that doesn't know what it's supposed to be yet has created an entire genre
Any game that streamers get addicted to and sweat in will die because of them
TLDR, 250 dollar edition that makes you never wipe progress and locks the pve mode behind it while also including a bunch of other p2w stuff
What happened with the Finals
Das why i play the forbidden tarkov
Wasnt The Finals supposed to kill all the games and be king
It’s alive afaik just dwindling players because they keep making bad balancing decisions
i didnt play the finals but you at least couldnt be meta-progressed past the other players on top of being a long-practiced sweater right?
Competitive games where people think they can ve like their streamer are not fun
They suck
Yeah their basically charging 250 dollars for worse spt that should have been included in EoD
As well as ruining pvp
i thought they were removing the big money pack not adding a new one
league player, blocked
They got rid of the old one and added this new one that scams the owners of the old one since the old one promised to include all dlc
amazing
it's like 2 people
genius business decision
and they're both not good people
They should keep themselves safe
Im having flashbacks to that farming nsfw monster game
????
cloud meadows?
Before Spurple made cloud meadows
time to abandon chat
Essentially two guys were making that game
And had differences
And split
Causing the original game stay in limbo
And the other person to make their version
i thought that's what happened to cloud meadows
the only people who make good NSFW games are furries
Everyone gather round for a prayer circle so that could happen to Tarkov
Cloud Meadows is Spurple and his team
Thats the offshoot game
interesting
Kinda
everyone should just play dominions 6, a 4x game that's been iterated on for the last 27 years
Whatsit
why would you want to have sex in a game when you can use astral magic to destroy the souls of enemy commanders
because i like destroying my meat
That guy that got angry at sonicfox and because of it everyone left him and stopped trusting him so all of his furry games died with him and gf
Kabier?
dominions is a 4x with less micromanagement and more gods and wizards
no its a map game
cartographer gameplay
i won my game two saves ago by freezing the entire world and overrunning it with giants
i need to play dwarf fortress
it only took me 120 human sacrifices
i wonder if i can get it on my work laptop
👀
its remarkably cpu intensive but maybe
yooo
it seems like a lot of the processing should be fairly easy to parallelize considering how the game works
it's only 3 devs
i mean from a technical standpoint
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)
dont speak about dark magic to me because i dont get it
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"
space marine 2?
Space Marines 2 was definitely done long ago
they are just drip feeding it like crazy
OH WAIT
I fucking
mixed Astartes/Space Marines 2

but yeah for SM2 we'll see, i legit am expecting nothing.
i still can't subscribe to warhammer+ in canada
oh i forgot that was under embracer, but i think it went to the coffee stain third?
which will probably be the one that survives
GW support told me it would be available soon in march
march 2023
GW doesn teven allow me to buy books from their site
I literally am forced to pirate it

i have only bought books on amazon
yeah i just get epubs, or pay a friend to get it for me
GW forces me to buy minimum 80$ worth of stuff for free shipping
so dumb
every model is like 70$
its not embracer its those french guys who published mudrunner
space marine 2 is scheduled for 9/9/2024
Honestly, i wish there was a cheap way to play the tabletop game without having to spend any money on the figurines
guess i'm printing again
Well i mean like have paper stands or something
@storm jungle after all that whining the major order in helldivers was completed anyway
im legit surprised
seconding kill team, its a great way to just buy a single box that kind of gives you a sample of the whole experience.
you get multiple really cool models (generally higher quality/more interesting than whats your standard battleline stuff for 40k)
you get the experience of modeling, assembling, painting,
its a smaller and more accessible wargame so you can get ur frens to do it too
i guess people pulled it together at the very end
or they just pressed the 'complete' button because we have no verification how legit the numbers are lol
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
i think we should lose a major order every once in a while but that one was annoying because people just... werent playing the defense planets for most of it
too abstract a goal for the gamer mind
when you're dealing with that many casuals then it's all about where the funnest place is
They should just blow up Malevelon creek
Planet just dont exist anymore
do a cadia idc
helldivers is the closest i'll get to a good game that makes me feel like a kasrkin
i bet the bots will retake it at some point kekw
people got SO mad about that fuckin cape lmao
it would be really funny if they blew up malevelon creek
yes
It has been for the last 2 months.
its always the same deal
"the cape will NEVER return"
they either fail or succeed but its always the usual cycle
"GUYS ATTACK HERE"
"STFU"
it's just a damn cape
and honestly its a really good looking one
i legit dont care at all lol
I know it's lore or whatever, but where's my edna mode no cape style?
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
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?
undemocratic thought
chaos worship generally, or other heretical stuff like AI
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
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
not cawl literally being the smartest semi-mortal human out there currently
it helps he has like 8 brains and an extra computer version of himself
Dark Mechanicum and Heretek are different
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
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
Primarus are impressive, but I don't think anyone can rival E on genetic engineering
they're also an iteration on space marines
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
theres plently of psykers around and they're not building stable tunnels into the webway
because they aren't big E level psykers?? what kind of a comparison is that
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
Also didn't do damn anything for nearly all of it
he was studying the blade (scalpel)
The dark mechanicum is referred to as the dark because chaos influence and daemons
They don't call themselves that though
often its the "True Mechanicum"
They're the faction that sided with Horus during the heresy
They aren't very organized
its kinda odd that other perpetuals dont seem to know anything about men of gold times
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.
are there any perpetuals left?
too busy playing video games to study antimatter physics
also like
darkmech are literally admech
but with more spikes and daemons
they are both literally equally evil and thats fucking funny
lmao
yah, admech has less daemonengines, and dark mechanicum has more spikes, that's about it
crankin' they hog i'd assume
i dunno about RIGHT NOW in the canon but perrson was around since real earth times iirc
He was with Jason and the Argonauts
also in WW1
also in the Gulf War
also in Vietnam
💀
and can perpetuals not be born later on, with big E being one of the older ones?
he was frozen in a cave between 2050 and 30,000 like the minions
wait what are people complaining about
is the cape not being given to new players?
There was a perpetual in the grey knights in 5e
but uh

no the cape is for those there during peak of the creek memes
5e
He hasn't been mentioned since lol
Yeah its just "plot"
everybody got the cape tho
it is
its when we got newcrons
I am not a grandpa
perpetuals are at least capable of being made, idk if they're born naturally
that's so damn old my guy
smh
Yesn't
theres both artificial and natural perpetuals
its dumb af
I'll have you know I didn't touch 40k till 6e lol
5e is rather new especially since before it's release, Pathfinder 1e was the most popular "dnd" and that was what? 08?
not if you didnt fight during the order
its a shit cape
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
lol
i'm 80% sure everybody gets rewards. i get a ton of medals after not playing for weeks
I only remember oldcrons cause DoW1
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
as i understand it the creek cape is special
Yeah it is but like
if i was around 40k in the 2000's i'd have a good guard army
DoW had newcrons
yeah just explaining that not everyone got it and thats the drama
literally everybody gets it idk why people complain
it was oldcrons
i like it for certain armors
they had pariahs
which dawn of war are you talking about?
Pariahs got removed from existance with newcrons
DoW1 had oldcrons, their only narrator was a pariah
DoW1
Oldcrons first appeared in Winter Assault which was a DoW1 DLC
I'm talking bout 1
they properly became playable in Dark Crusade
It was still oldcrons in DC
which is
tbf
also DLC
SHUT UP


nah there's no way
dow had a lotta dlc
sort of DLC
3 to be exact
they released them as standalone games? sort of? at least on steam
i do not trust steam releases
they were seperate discs originally
when was the last time tempestus has had any lore
if it's old and doesn't require a cd and a cd-key to activate, ion want it

wiki is once again god awful for getting information
what is there to be said about tempestus? they're elite troopers
i think scions were last mentioned in DT item descriptions lol
they're more generic than kasrkin so they're cool
They had their own codex
then they just appear now
as elite troopaz
karskin are only remembered cause everyone loves their paratroopers(same tbh)
9e codex
when did new necrons come out?
uhhh
5e codex
5th ed?
what??
dark crusade came out 2006
kasrkin are remembered because they're super cadians
Codex necrons 5e came out in 2011
kasrkin are remembered because
- cadia
- GW only sells cadia
- cadia
2008 BRUH
give me chem dogs, I want my army of dirty bomb collar wearing loot rats
Then again could have been worse
i NEED my valhallans
could have been like Drukhari and have a 3e codex
chem dogs 🔛 🔝
till 7e
waaaah
From this shit
ah yes
how come i remember necrons from DC being basically identical to what we now know about necrons?
the sex book
To this lol
dark eldar co-sex
Because realistically Necrons in DC act just like how you'd expect necrons to
yeah like we talked about this a few days ago
Newcrons personaltiy really only shows
the ground-necrons are literally still the same
when they're with each other
they now have actual leaders but
otherwise
your troops will never see em anyway
they're horrifying murder robots who don't talk
^
and if they do talk its entierly to mock you
Funny metal skeleton goes clank clank
so the only difference you guys were talking about between newcrons and oldcrons was that newcrons have leaders with personalities?
Oldcrons were just mindless robots made to serve the c'tan yeah
and the c'tan were numberous
THOUSANDS OF THEM
...
like 70% sure that you get to manipulate shards of c'tan in DC
Newcrons start having a "brain" at immortals and above
not that immortals are very smart
but they have some very very dry personality
BRUH
and think of a solution
WAIT THESE THINGS ARE CALLED PARIAHS IN ENGLISH?>??
Warriors are actually as dumb as a bag of rocks
what are they called in your native language?
i suppose it was just a disconnect in my bi/tri-lingual brain
Scot
Ginger
My Ex
flesh
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"
I mean its accurate
It is
pariah does mean all those things
pariah literally means an outcast/pushed away person
and i associate the word "pariah" with anti-psykers and anti-psykers only
Ah fair
true
they're called pariahs because they're made from human pariahs, which are actual social pariahs because they're psychically unpleasant to be around
they take pariahs
Also they stink
the pariah gene does make you unlikable
from general unpleasantness up to on sight violence
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?"
i REALLY hope the indian translations dont call pariahs "dalits" that would be fucked
dont forget being such a doomer you are literally invisible
Jurgen is the best soldier
i knew there was something afoot when i saw literal humanoids walking among skellies
They would never.
They’d just call them Untouchables
pariah's the units are weird
i like to think that jurgen actually just doesnt bathe on top of being a pariah
That’s the reason given mostly
He does it to give people a real reason to not be around him
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"
LMAO
To be fair they are
Loyalists are dumb, Chaos are dumb, Eldar go around being CSGO players.
this is all accurate yeah
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
and necrons were "green on black slow hard hitting static dudes" and my mind went "yeah that's the shit!"
The strat for Eldar was full invisibility and the just hide from the AI while giggling to yourself
“Omg he’s me”
the eldar do the elf singing trees into buildings stuff except with psychic gunk that comes from... somewhere?
where does wraithbone come from?
its shaped into reality
They materialize it
Fabulous Barf be like:
the warp™️
Wraithbone is stored in the balls
BRUH
oh its literally a permanent manifestation ok
yup. adeptus ridiculous recently made a video on wraithbone and wraith constructs
if you don't actively dislike the podcast, of course
I call Wraithbone the Nokia of 40k
any reason as to why?
Don’t need a video to have it explained to me
it would be funny if wraithbone disintegrated around pariahs and wraithlords would just fall over if they walked by one
They manifest it with psychic power
Bricky is really bad with eldar lore and doesnt really take it seriously since he doesnt like the faction so he ends up super half-assing it.
It’s like hardlight stuff but made of psyker stuff
I had a friend who doesnt even like eldar try to watch it and he couldnt stand the presentation
lmao
wraithbone is like solid warp but not warpstone level of silly
im not gonna listen to a podcast about 40k i listen to one podcast and its sadboys
i get the eldar stuff but the podcast in general? anything bad about the rest of the episodes?
i might just be too hardcore of a brick fan
but DK is a fucking moron
no offense lmao
"WOAH"
"JEZUZ"
"WOW REALLY"
"HOHOHOLY SHIT"
actual NPC
sounds like a joe rogan ass podcast
the wiki. i can't even
Me when YouTube recommends me 40k lore videos
I heard somebody got into a fight cause somebody called them an npc
the podcast used to be about a wh40k fan explaining lore to a total newbie, but DK isn't a total newbie anymore
trying to read about scions and the page spends 4000 words talking about how the schola progenium works
REAL.
He failed the speech check
I didn’t like his take on Carcharadons being edgy af, I’m like “Mr.Forehead, you love the Traitor Astartes legion that is cartoonishly edgy”
My face when wikipedia editors gotta pad out a page and copy paste everything.
I didn't think scions were schola progenium, only comissars and sisters?
He really doesnt get it most of the time yeah
Yeah they are schola
They are
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
There’s a lot of things it branches into
Its Commissars, Sisters, Scion, Arbiters, etc
gotcha, I really gotta read more stuff
Commissars receive similar combat training as Scions but are kids who show the aptitude for leadership and what not more
even a simple lexi read-through will make you smarter than most fans
sanctioned psykers also i think?
the schola is just "military academy"
Psykers all go to the telepathica
oh god after all the rt dlc comes out half the crew is gonna be orphans
It’s not really tbh there’s non combat roles
Don’t forget the wall of students that line up the Schola.
We just don’t hear much of them
army logistics officers still go to west point
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
their bones shall forever reinforce the walls of the structure
also uh speaking of psyker school, theres a really funny "perk" bar you can get in Dark Heresy if you are making a psyker
for if they fail to provide with skills, their bodies shall suffice
and it displays all the traumas you can pick up
hell yes!
theres no way there's only one schola progenium lol
scholas everywhere
galaxy too big for only 1 orphan school
it's just under one institution called "schola progenium"
Too many orphans for one school
just like real life
it's like college. for orhpans
have you seen hive cities? i'm surprised people even reach adulthood in the underhive
and brainwashing
most don't hive cities are utter trash
big fuck off building
honestly that art gets used in so many pages in the old RPGs i dont even remember
the biggest part to remember about 40k is that it is intentionally absurd, don't think too hard on it
comes up when you look up "schola progenium" on multiple images
yeah but its just a random building
which is good
SHOW US THE SCHOLA
Tbf the pregenia is run by the church
ONE SO MIGHTY AS TO DISMISS A 40K BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S "obviously a church"
ten trillion psykers a day!!! Gotta keep the funny lighthouse lit or we all die
the beatings shall continue until morale improves
You're not gonna run anything once I break your legs
The one drill abbot catching the orphan who was short by one of their mandatory prayers to the God-emperor:
irish
his head is curved wrong
“I work with children”
“Why do you have a giant hammer?”
“I work with children.”
11
so that's where the warhammers were all along
it genuinely feels like they think every page isn't complete until it's impossible to navigate
I look at him and think “my name is uncle Ruckus”
They don’t call them Drill Abbots cause they’re fun guys
40k doesn't have a ghal muraz equivalent do it?
i don't think so
of course they're not fun guys. they're obviously not orks
there's named warhammers
is there 40 000 of them?
It doesnt
sadly no
the titular warhammer is Ghal Maraz
are you sure?
Does anybody use hammers in 40k? like famously, I know about Thunderhamers and power mauls and junk
Emperors sword is the only equivalent really and it’s not a hammer so
there are no warhammers
thunderhammers are basically ghal maraz from wish
hammers and maces are the weapon to deal with armor in melee
Gabriel angelos
Guilliman is also no where half as cool as Karl Franz
yes
Eidolon is the big one
as I always tell people
every type of firearm/melee weapon exists in 40k
for chaos tbh
Even a shoe?
need me a guard regiment that uses bows and crossbows
yes
