Hmm
you get gold scripts form doing like
anything
and you get ashit laod from the main quest
and you use it to get stuff that is in or was in the atom shop
the main things you need to get is the ammo maker and the fusion core recharger if you use powerarmor
also every day you get a free atom shop item
Ok. Sounds like some genuine improvement.
yeah
all play styles are pretty valid
once you reach level 50 you can respect all of your skills
special
when ever you are at a load out maker
everyone also got a 2nd free camp
just
dont buy fallout first
Yeah it’s a lot better than launch
It’s a little rough to get into but once you get into the swing I’ve enjoyed it
100 hours still havent finished any of the main story on my main account
no nukes no nothign lmao
I would look up a beginners guide for sure though
There’s some ways you can fuck yourself a bit earlier on if you don’t know what you’re doing
Sounds like an mmo alright
Granted, I got little room to talk, considering how I like me CRPGS, and those games ain’t afraid to kick you in the balls for a bad choice 30 hours earlier lol
It’s not that bad but it definitely does need a little bit of explaining
good news is the subscription is so terrible you arent forced to get it
Pre planning your build is a good idea
It's almost like in fallout 76 you can reset builds just need resources. But 76 gets boring because you cannot mod it.
And yeah the subscription isn’t needed at all
thank fuck
litearlly like, the two things that are really strong in the subscription you cna farm out in like
a few hours
the ammo converter and the other thing i forgot
Fusion Core Chargers are paid
yeah that
It’s not
you can get it for free
You can earn atoms without paying
About that
you can but it with gold bullshitties too
It’s pretty easy to afford stuff like that
The new system makes it more difficult
pretty sure the charger is like, 2k gold thingies at the pitt
You can also message Bethesda for stuff and if you have the atoms they’ll give it to you for them
If it’s not in the shop
lmao
Someone who knows drukhari stuff.
So in RT I ran across a transmitter set to release distress signals of space faring races every 5 years or so to draw in random ships and kill whoever comes investigating. Thing is the trap was set up by a Medusae, and I was under the impression they weren't capable of such intelligence, the game even talks about how Drukhari collect them as pets.
Like they eat dreams or whatever, but why would they want to kill their hosts?
Oh they are? Wiki made it seem like they're just a weird warp parasite
the host will die eventually
Their model looks cool
they're not super intelligent but like they're sapient creatures
If only Drukhari had more going on then, being the worst.
I do find it funny that the Kabal this Medusae is a part of bothered to give them body armor
What are those weird drukhari that metamorphis after getting lost in the webway?
Mandrakes?
sentient and sapient
they have their own culture and are absolutely terrifying
The soul stone or whatever powers them
i think space marines and drukhari are the only factions with rules for models that are scrapped?
you can run these in a unit caleld uh
fuckin
They're just necrons with souls the Eldar have.
Drukhari only
iirc
oh so they can harvest tehir brain juices
Also Orks
easier
tbf if the medusae's host dies you need a new host lol
what ork models?
War boss with big choppa
also theres like 80 um characters with no models but has rules
are we counting legends?
if we count legends then almost every faction has one of these
at least int eh beginnign of 10th
Well
they had rules
the named scout
yeah
Pedro still has a mini
flesh tearer one i mean
Seth also still has a mini
WHAT
they're both on rotational hell
oh
i hate and lvoe the fact forge world is getting binned
I thought Angelos still had a model?
they're pretty decent
he does
GW seems to be legendsing a lot of FW stuff
even if the mini is still in production
(just run them as their generic version)
(or run them with their legends rules)
also really annoyed whats his name from the white concuils got zero rules
tbh
like yadda yadda ultra marines dont need characters
he can get run as a generic guy at least
yeah
but still unfortunate
If it was GW now he would have gotten a set of straight to legends rules imo
it just feels bad
lmaO
Literally can tear apart any vehicle but a titan in 1 turn
and has decent shooting (for an ork)
also his mini is a good proxy for the current warboss + squig mini
jesus christ that scared me
To be honest it's kinda silly 40k does have established events, maybe in the beginning everything was all over the place but there is established events.
Maybe not for people in universe but outside definitely people have the established events in lore.
"guys the insert latin SECtor is under threat!!!"
"this si so important!!!"
thats what campaign supplements/forgeworld supplements/crusade books are
3 motnsh later
also codexes usually mark some stuff
To be honest original 40k nuking aliens was more funny.
Why become tame nuke the aliens into oblivion
I mean the imperium still does that
But they have "rules" now
the imperium being so big kinda makes events not really feel impactful to me
Not to nuke worlds.
since its not really a resource struggle
Or bomb them.
god i fucking love resoruce struggles
daily
i remmeber when poeple thought the imperium was gonna split into 2
well, every time
when people thought that
lol
it would be really cool but how owuldyou split it
Probably at the line of the sykatrix maladictum
tbh
most of Nihlus is in control of chaos now
or at least a solid chunk of it lol
like civil war split i mean
or at least political pslit
the imperium already have plenty of reasons to kill eachother over
conserative marines vs liberal marines...
who are the CW factions like? Traditionalists and Traditionalists but they give workers 1 day off a year?
"water should only have 80% lead in it! not 90%!"
There's probably an undiscovered feral world out there that's half decent, at least till the imperium shows up and subjugates it
I imagine if the Minotaurs weren't so popular with the High Lords they'd have to fight a few other Loyalist chapters
Of course, especially after the Months of Shame, not too many people are fond of Minotaurs or Grey Knights
The Imperium isn't splitting as long the Emperor is on the throne.
Of course, if the lovely beacon that is needed to ensure Navigators can travel the warp falls, far far more awful things will occur than just the splitting of the imperium.
It was more me musing about which Space Marine chapters are the most loathed
I guess the poor cursed Lamenters aren't all that liked
Its kinda already split, quite literally
Imperial authorities will hear people say shit like this and execute them on the spot
It did once.
At the birth of Slaneesh great storms consumed the galaxy.
Which had split the Imperium.
Well it's always been split into several worlds that are sovereign, despite the Imperium has control over them. Then there is worlds gangs control.
Some worlds are more free, but the authority of the Imperium is the least worst horrors you could experience.
Despite the Imperium owns territory they hardly control the worlds they have, or let other people control said world out of the direct control of the Imperium.
No I mean right now in lore with the Great Rift
half of the imperium cannot see the astronomican and are thus incapable of warp travel
It has split.
The codexes go into how the Dark Imperium side of the rift is literally "lawless"
well, more than usual lol
If we cant see the emperor's light, why should we follow his rules?
Theres nothing saying he's even still there
To be fair even when they do see his light they still question it
but hey any excuse works

you better believe that's going in the grudge book
Thats just what they think
btw mandrake's abilities are they warp based?
Otherwise what possible explanation would there be?
Astronomican existing
Which is a beacon and light. It wasn't just snuffed out. It's difficult to get through it, but voidships and navigators existence makes travel possible.
Yes I know
but how would the average citizen know that
yes the eccliesiarchy tells them it cannot be snuffed out
but then, where did it go?
Its most likely a death sentence to try and travel through the great rift to reach either half
A valid reason from the hell divers community?
PSN required now for steam
that is all very hard to believe
Ugh Ive talked about this in every server I'm in lol, who knew the game was so far reaching
so what you're telling me is if i do not have a PSN account i can't even play it
You make one I believe
It makes the getting process of the game a tad bit more complicated than it already needs to be
I want to say something real quick but not sure if I should say it lol
If it's related to the female custodes or anything very sensitive do not say it
Not sensitive no
so just atrocious then very well say it
Nazi in this place
we talked about many more
Do you think kurze had a toilet made out of tongues?
Ohh this one is in the cursed category
no
i sentient one that's probably made out of the flesh of its relatives maybe yes
Most tempered response
Like he doesn't need a toilet but I imagine him being spiteful enough to has a tongue toilet and keep them wiggling just to kiss his ass lol
Is it even that bad of a change?
Yep
This is cursed
Never trust PlayStation with your personal information EVER
They've been hacked and exploited more times than people have been to space
Some regions apparently don't agree with their TOS and so if you paid for helldiver's and live in one of those regions too bad can't play the game you paid $60 for
I even read one of the comments saying that it's not even available in my country the playstation network and store
So if I want to get helldivers either they don't push for this update or I basically just cave in and try to get PSN account one way or another
I feel bad for helldiver's people really I do
This is an overwatch 2 phone number situation all over again
this is like a plane flying peacefully until it gets hijacked and proceeded to do 9/12
I think it was called 9/11 because of what day it fell on
I'm making a sequel joke but yes
So, I don't think a second one will necessarily happen sequentially
This is all coming after talks with the CEO of PlayStation and helldiver's lead dev to get the game to Xbox but this is a huge wrench for sure
It only took the devs 3hrs to destroy their game
The ******* dive that it took
It's like
Both impressive and sad
Confirmed game of the year palworld sweeps all
Rogue Traders existence is how people even get to know information about the other side.
But otherwise the regular citizens are never leaving that world and usually worked to death, so that is irrelevant.
Yeah, but still, the populace is more … rowdy than usual over there
Rogue Traders exist to keep those in check.
Or at least try to.
They're not just privateers, but explorers, and spread the light of the God Emperor to these worlds.
True, but no one is Infallible, save the Emper- haha, no I couldn’t finish that sentence with a straight face
I mean Rogue Traders are also merchants, conquerors, explorers.
The Spanish Inquistion all over again, but on a bigger scale.
I think the thing darktide made me realise the most is how dumb bigoted people can get with the zealots sometimes lol
like you almost cringe hearing how simple-minded they are like some crazy IRL evangelist
That's kinda the point.
So true
Yes... hence why i brought it up
It's not people just being stupid It's rather easy to brain wash humans, our minds are all fallible.
Some are just regular people surprisingly like the Judge.
Brainwashing is easy if you have the right means and tools unfortunately. Some are just going to be more extreme with their beliefs.
Doesn’t change the fact that the nihilus is fucked beyond the help of just a few rogue traders, the populace will do whatever it takes to survive in this new hellscape
I find it interesting to be honest, as it's a satire of the whole thing. It doesn't make me cringe but often I get a good laugh at it, because it's so over the top.
The whole of the imperium is meant as satire
But you get Stan’s who can’t get that and blindly follow it at face value
And to them I say:
Satire is based on reality yes, but it often mocks their behavior then again the baddies are always stylish.
Even worse when people are so fanatical about a fictional setting
Just shows that the imperium would 100% work as a political entity
And that’s scary
I know, but it’s political creed would easily gain ground irl
Yeah most things can work with fanatics willing to accept any condition
And there’s no shortage of those
The thing it isn't just stupid people who get brainwashed. Not even fanatics.
Of course not, you see that in any political entity
People of all types fall to it, because they identify with it somehow
It's quite easy to manipulate people with enough charisma, and appealing to the needs of a person. Or, at least the promise.
Brainwashed people will still revolt if you knock out basic needs like food
Yeah everyone knows this
Also this yep
lmao
Especially people who think that they are immune to propaganda
At that point, you activate the basic feral thinking that supercedes any brainwashing
If I'm dying, stress responses come out
Like you need true fanatics to actually push down stress responses to where they will die and think it's good
Yeah and those always tend to be the higher up ecclesiarchy people
like that one fucking dude who said tyranids are "fake news" and denied they exist as the literal planet was under attack
yes this actually happened

Oh people deny things that are clearly happening in front of them all the time
Just like real life! 
It's just that activating primal instincts just supercedes all conscious thoughts
100% would happen in real life
You actively have to train and condition people to suppress primal instincts, and you don't just do that by showing a ton of propaganda
Denial is easy
Ignoring primal thoughts isn't. Primal reactions are really what a lot of the shit we do is
It's to help the four Fs of primal instinct
Feed, fight, flight, and mate
No I mean denying something right in front of you because you can’t take the reality
Like the tyranids
You are probably going to get executed, and the fear of saying anything bad against the government.
"Covid is being transmitted from 3G towers guys!"
💀
As I’ve said before, your mind will find a way to cope, conscious or not, whether it’s adaptive or maladaptive is another story
Fear prevents people from making any decisions, and whilst some people will rebel. The fear of your family being set as a example, or yourself is reason enough to keep people in check.
Denial is a simple and “effective” unconscious safety response
It does help your brain handle the stress but doesn't fix the situation.
No, but your unconscious mind doesn’t care about that
Denialism is just a trauma response of freezing
Whatever it takes to survive to the next moment
The moment after that is a problem for the next moment
Definitely
Everything we do is just an extension of our primal nature
We just added a shit load more layers of abstraction
What did I miss ?!
But there is passive denial long periods of time after an event when you simply can’t handle direct confrontation
im late to the convo i started but sony has an abysmal reputation with being hacked
Psychology discussion
Surely none of our data will be lost
people literally get their credit card data stolen on sony
i dont even know how that's possible
This could either be a very healthy discussions or the worst discussion ever
The psychology of denial and fanaticism
Oh
How you need fanatics to actually run the Imperium IRL since you have to suppress primal reactions of starvation and shit to not revolt
You need to put your ID in to make a psn account 💀
seriously??
Only in the UK and Northern Ireland
But yes
It asks for your ID lol
That's stupid
beyond stupid
let me guess, a law passed "for the kids"
can't let little timmy play a game with guns
Idk prolly lol
still better than banning porn
cough cough US
anyways guess i'm done playing helldivers
Man, I enjoyed that game
Such a shame
So are mandrakes completely against the warp like how drukhari are? or are they beyond needing to shield their souls?
so what is obscura? its clearly some kind of drug but beyond that idk anything about it
From the name I'd point toward Opium or something of the same effect
Addling the senses would fit for obscuring thr mind
||Eisenhorn mentions his pilot had been a user when they first meet so thats why i asked||
so like acid basically
There's also Lho, which appears to be weed
yeah
Recaf is typically coffee but could be any stimulant
I do enjoy the slang that pops up in settings. Cyberpunk in particular, people absolutely use corpo
it basically does what opium does though the euphoric high doesnt cause the same kind of hallucinations and the crash is similar to what the wiki says
idk if opium causes the same kind of low
one of the few advantages of having a few drug users/dealers in your family is you get to learn a lot about various narcotics
see i thought Lho was just tobacco
Quite the silver lining
but its called a narcotic in Xeno so i guess it is more like weed
ofc tobacco is a narcotic
got to find them where you can
needle pistols are basically a syringe gun right?
Yes, though using solidified poison/drugs and not literal syringes
Sedatives are an examples
ok so Hallowette might not have just threatend to kill Marrow just now only tranq him
ok is this new?
there is a lot more vox chatter than i remember
Possibly, could also be begnin toxins, not meant to kill, but to incapacitate for a little while
i dont think they like each other much
so is savant an actual title/rank in an inquisitorial retinue or just an unoffical one?
savant is a job description
they're like your personal assistant who also memorizes stuff for you because computers are bad
got it
people other than inquisitors employ them
Who is a Savant ?
i think they're supposed to be mentats from dune lol
aemos from eisenhorn comes to mind
they're mostly from weird lore and the witch hunters 3e codex
yes, a lot of new vox chatter was added in the update
he is why i asked lol
but not created deliberately, I think. a savant can be anyone with the cognitive power to function as a repository of knowledge for an agent of the throne
aemos is capable due to the memetic virus that causes him to consume and store knowledge insiatiably but that seemed to be accidental
apparently most of them are low ranking mechanicus
it would've been fun to have a savant on the mourningstar crew
maybe Grendyl will have one when they finally appear
that makes sense
also there are several (new?) voicelines that explicitly refer to Grendyl as a man
i still assume grendyl will make an appearance by blowing the head off a noble we're talking to
Hestia and Melk talking about Grendyl from across their aisle
yeah the characters who've met him call him a he
i kinda wish they'd stuck with they considering they also dont show his face or voice
that would be perfectly fitting
that or he shows up killing the other traitor that was mentioned in one of the vox recordings
literally the only thing i can imagine grendyl is doing is upper hive politicking, presumably undercover
everything else can be done by his truly horrifying penal legion
imagine being an imperial general rolling in and asking for a troop roster
a penal legion that kills daemonhosts for fun
"you have how many psykers? and you've killed how many heretics???"
Imagine him telling someone the kill count per soldier
"here's our one of our finest, he's slain a hundred thousand heretics as well as hundreds of daemons. His name is Pizzahut-Tacobell"
Primaris Marine reaching atoma and learning about the true ultimate form of life (a random guy with an axe) 
Here’s smasha, he made a club out of a pipe and screws, he killed so many daemonhosts it has become magic
space marines learning the rejects survive getting eaten by a beast of nurgle (the space marines melt in seconds) 🥹
be me
one of Fabius Bile's New Men, the ultimate form of humanoid life
my entire regiment is massacred by 4 underhivers with swords and names like "grungus"
@storm jungle I find it strange that whenever Sigmar is compared to the Emperor, the Imperium appologist come out of the woodworks
Did you also just see the post on Reddit defending the Emperor and calling him an S tier god?
God

It's hilarious
"He's just a man, he's not infallible, he makes mistakes"
He comitted genocide on a galactic scale
Its not comparable by any means because the only grimdark acts the Empire and Stormcasts in AoS equally do is classic medieval extermination stuff sometimes which isnt much beyond wiping out some settlements on the accusement of chaos taint or not taking risks.
Sigmar is legit trying to be a good person, the thing is he isnt ominpotent even if hes a god, hes still a man that failed his world once and doesnt want to do that mistake again, his flaws make sense, he literally ascended from being a germanic barbarian lol
i Would type in the comment section "yeah and all he did was mistakes"
Then I would watch as the world burn but I would only do it if I get 50 bucks
shit man the basement crawlers are at it again
pass me the gun
The Emp never did anything good, and never saw himself as Human
Sigmar was a human, rose as a human
Yep that too
Sigmar is humble
as much as hes dumb
but like, he didnt commit genocide on a galactic scale either
Do you think he would give me a fist fight if it means I can find something good inside of me

But man i swear to god the mind control of the imperium is so good it actually worked on real life people
If I remember right the post also talks about how Sigmar isn't a father but the Emperor is and it's hard being a parent 
You haven't heard?
It will become mandatory for you to link a psn account if you want to keep playing
Yea and there are quite a few countries where you're unable to make PSN accounts
Not like people are missing literacy skills to not fall for pseudo propaganda (HD2, Dune...)
the only thing to be mad at tbh
F you if you don't live in a Nato country I guess
Helldiver fans not be two-faced challenge
Oh wait, some are switched
Yep and I've been hearing that in the UK to make a PSN account you need to input like a valid ID
oh Lambda perfect, i'm thinking of getting warhammer 3 is it good with the Thrones of decay update ?
true, in the UK and Ireland
but that's because national laws
average helldiver fan
Label speakers
fuck
yeah i messed up the joke hold on
To be fair the recent bad reviews were literally getting mad at nothing too lol
"vet got nerfed, better review bomb the game"
I love fans that react according when their favorite weapon goes from overtuned to balanced and still useable
Thrones of decay dlc and it's accompanying patch is probably the best thing wh3 got
All veteran stans should be executed
so if you want to get in, it's maybe the best time
i do like the toad dragons and also find it funny that the best ogre Lord is not even in the ogre faction
But man I need to pick wisely what I want to buy
Except me, I use right side tree unironically and don't use power sword
biggest issues with the patch rn is all in the dwarf additions
yeah golg I'm not going to complete his name because it would get me banned Maneater
thunderbarges are unstoppable
FA-
God I'm excited for more ogre content
and their new age of reckoning mechanic need number tweaking
NOO-
NO DONT SAY IT

It's censored
Bro what about the empire artillery
banger
The dragon lady is ******* busted
yeah but you can defeat it
if the ai recruits at least 4 thunderbarges
you fucked
best hope you have is that they run out of ammo or kill themselves using the afterburn because the ai is stupid
There are very few factions that have good anti air options
but it's already banned in every mp tournaments
and as a green skin player
did you guys know that custodes are golden
time to make my goblins pledged allegiance to the empire of the rising sun
i mean it shouldn't be hard to kill
it's just that for some reasons it manages to 1v1 everything that should counter it
like a bloodthrister
or 3 wyverns
Wait it can shoot a blood thirster to death before it can get into melee range?
nah, it can outrun it for (almost) free
and hitbox janky
so even if you land a hit it's not a guarantee
My god and malakai upgrades this thing more right
yeah but the crazy upgrades are player only
Oh thank god
But i can imagine playing multiplayer with someone who knows how to use him would be painful
Especially that spirit of grungni
every mp match you can look at where they tested the thunderbarge, it solos 2/3 of an army with close to no micro-management effort
Why the f*** does he have that for an army ability
Yeah fair
they just need to fix the hitbox and nerf the speed boost ability and it's gucchi
It seems tamurkhan is the most balanced of the three right
i have not tried him yet so idk
https://youtu.be/z0MBIMH4DJE?si=zxh3m3J_kaoKSo0K well at least the toad Dragons look cute
Combat animations Tomorrow
in a disgusting i want to puke way
total war's animators never miss
(since wh2)
don't look at the empire swordsmen attack animation in wh1
yep the animations are always on point
that's like the most consistent improvement area
From 1 to 3 it kept getting better and better
dwarfs have a proper shield wall formation now
and it's all animated
it's not just stats
it's like a roman tetsudo from rome 2
it seems this update fixed three of the problematic factions well
impervious to missile
The only ones left are ogres and norsca i think
And some of the warhammer 1 factions I'm pretty sure
maybe one day they can animate proper spear holding
though i assume thats a tech limitation of the engine
It's a bit funky but hey it's something
true
The Iron Kin wearing the pressure helmets?
Why do AI need pressure helmets?
Space isn't like the bottom of the ocean right? No worry of a big squish?
To fit in with their buddies
It spoke with the necron though and didn’t introduce itself as an ironkin
So whats the exact reason on why chaos dwarfs weren't able to bolster their numbers without using slaves and mercenaries?
Dwarfs have children slowly iirc
same issue as Elfs
Makes sense but it seems like it was a bigger issue for the chorfs in comparison to their normal cousins? Was it due to the magic that they recklessly used?
To feed their god too
Harsher climate, more complicated trading, chaos influence, smaller in number of holds
They were in a very inhospitable area and they chose to turn to their dark god
yeah what catci said
Which is largely why the other holds despise them ignoring the other obvious reasons, they think they’re weak and pathetic for turning
Wouldnt the slaves make okay sacrifices though? Or is it because political rivalries, because I do recall chorfs do care (relatively more than other chaos-abiding factions) for their fellow kin and do try and keep each other alive if possible
They do use them as sacrifices
Their whole industry is built around it
Symbolism, it's the same everywhere where things that are considered more "valuable" are better sacrifice
For a Chaos faction yes
For a Dwarf faction, not really
I see I see
They’re less dwarfy then dwarfs
You’re assuming optimal and rational choices too
But they’re less chaosy then most chaos factions
They’re chaos
Yeah but they still got dwarfen ideals, just twisted
Or at least they should
To an extent
They’re cruel for the sake of it a lot of times
They’re about as opposite of dwarves you can get
Pragmatism is really a good explainaition for what the Chaos Dwarf do
It’s hard to stress how hard it is for dwarves to be corrupted too and how much it goes against their nature
Interesting
So things like how they deal with the Fireborn (the dwarfs that have to get their faces seared into their helmets to deal with their sins or whatever) - those are just the exception not the rule?
Fireborn are the CDwarf solution to Slayer cults
But even Fireborn can redeem themselves
No point in throwing people away to die
True true
Infernal Guard, Fireborn are the Kdai monster
So if for whatever reason chaos “wins” and every possible chaos worshipping being joins them will they just begin to canibalize themselves?
Keep on pushing higher and higher until nothing and no one is left?
Begin to?
Reality is a sideshow to chaos
The great game is an endless war between them
Basically yes, while also the gods would eventually get bored of humanity since they've done all they could with them, like how they were with the Fimir.
There are reason to think that the great game has happened multiple times before
Implying the gods for a time were peaceful and weren't going after each other's throats?
Or just united against a faction of order?
Ah yeah that
I’ve always liked the interpretation that the Chaos gods are like spoiled children who will drop their toys as soon as they’re bored of them.
Oh they are, but it's not unique to children
Of course. In polite society we refer to those kinds of people as politicians
I thought the multi-reality thing was canon and that they already won in many of them
one of the writers for that game made some "woke" comments on twitter so now the game is woke and gona suck /j
the culture war brain rot idiots can find anything to rage about
What were even the "woke" comments xd
most of them where from like 7 years ago lol
the most recent one was about the hogwarts legacy drama crap
its a nothing burger
Like usual
Companies are too wuss to say some real takes out loud, kinda understandable but still
Fear the customer.
It's not a culture war and more about overpriced things that you could buy elsewhere, and just blatantly are disrespectful to paying customers. These are just true unfortunately, and I can see why nobody would pay for what GW is selling. That's not even about culture at that point.
But I don't have much love for a corporation, despite they own the property.
yeah i hope sony takes the hint
although apparently all they get is your steam ID
Can a chaos marine renounce chaos after they have already fallen to it?
Or is it just immediate death
Well Steam is allowing for refunds now so they should feel it
Oh i hadnt heard that i might try for it
Ive got like 100 hours and could make a psn account but fuck sony
Huh
Just immediate death
you cant really renounce chaos, you could have some regrets but the only way is to go even more down lmao
Brian chemistry stir fry too
It’s pretty much impossible lol
Unless your main or near main character of the book material
Even the you’re prolly just killing yourself in a suicidal attack
Question
Who holds more power in this instance, Grendyl or Brahms?
I understand that rogue traders kinda have carte blanche to do whatever they really want within reason(?)
onboard the ship rn Brahms, because grendyl isn't here
realistically Grendyl
Grendyl has something over Brahms
Can they give her orders officially?
Officially speaking its whoever has more guns
Thats how power in the imperium tends to work
Guiliman because he's the son of god and he has access to the biggest guns
There’s still a heiarchy of power but when 2 people are of equal rank
Violence is sometimes the answer to who’s in charge
Other times it’s who can inflict more violence
And sometimes it’s based off of expierence
this is getting more complicated than I expected
Ah yes the ork way might makes right
Humans are like Orks
Wait but what about his brother(?) isn't he back as well?
And the skaven
Barely anyone knows Lion is alive
He’s sort of just sitting on the rock
He’s up and about but he’s not leading
He’s killing mostly
so canonically us rejects only know about guiliman?
Yes but as wolf said his revival hasn't been a widespread news yet and in terms of logistics blue man is better in terms of commanding armies and fighting though it would go to lion
bro
Lion is also in the shit end of the imperium
Yes darktide takes place at like the start of indomitus crusade
Like it’s almost certainly gona get exterminatus’d at this rate
We are probably older than a fossil
And what actually is the cicatrix maledictum (hope I spelled that right)
It’s a giant warp rift
A what
A giant tear in reality daemons can come out of
The giant thing in the middle is the Citrix, it stops the astronomicon from being seen and messes with warp travel
So do the spaceships to just look for the thinnest point of the split
To the other side?
There’s 2 safe paths
One is an active warzone the other is imperium controlled(sorta) ,
Otherwise it’s like traveling through a warpstorm lol
Aka really fucking shit
I suppose it wouldn't be hard for someone to dedicate enough resources to basically just capture the safe point
But then again the imperium is more violent than a squirrel that is on 5 lbs of drugs
The active warzone is the nachmund gauntlet
Aka the clusterfuck
It’s literally just the tau and nids who aren’t present there
You're deadass telling me we aren't fucked
Tertium is in the less shit side
Bro that is a big ass hole in the center of the galaxy
So things are looking up
Oh the imperium? The imperium is pretty fucked lol
The shit side has a lot of chaos mini empires popping up
It's basically a rusty dying ship hold together by a few bolts
Some of the high lords think they should just abandon the other half lol
is that not chill? like legitimately?
compared to like, half the galaxy being in the ass-end of daemontown
There’s a fuck ton of flayed one Necrons
The reason why there are no chaos there is because there are worst things than chaos there
?????
It's legitimately one of the worst place in the galaxy
worse than chaos?
Something that destroyed 5 marine chapters
It gets WORSE?
And pretty much wiped out the entire imperium task force sent
Yeah
It's basically one of the most mysterious and dangerous place in all of the universe
Idk pick your poison lol
The most common issue is flayed one Necrons
Who you know, wear people’s skin
Yeah and these things have the ability to travel to another dimension
And are generally insane
who? necrons are the robotic terminator like machine people right?
Necrons are basically robotic Egyptian terminators
The higher ranked you go the more of a personality they have
why are they wearing people
what the fuck
Body dysphoria
The systems stoping it break
They can’t breathe
They have no skin
Their brain isn’t there
It's basically a virus that makes a necron into a zombie that can travel to another dimension
Yeah
The Necrons killed a god and got cursed with it lol
And also broke a law of physics
That is a skill issue to be fair
bro what the actual fuck, I know why they tell you "blessed are the ignorant" I wish I could go back 10 minute ago when I didn't know about the robots that wear people
Turns out you shouldn’t kill gods who represent a law of reality
But yeah flayed ones are creepy
Other Necrons hate them
They’re kill on sight
Flayed ones also sometimes just show up
To collect meat
Also they talk

Yeah they can open a tear to another dimension and use it like a boon tube to travel
bro can we stop them from doing that???
They scream, they talk, they mutter incoherently
They try to eat flesh, drink blood.
No, no one knows how the flayed one plane works
But they have no mouths.
They can just rip a tear into reality and leave
Also what 
It blows up stars
Any star
It’s main use is to divine things
With “science”
Ah yeah the Celestial Orrey
You can say pick a star you want to blow up and the entire system is destroyed
Also the dynasty who owns it doesn’t want to use it
So they just show up and harvest people and you just gotta deal???
For blowing things up
Pretty much, they die easier then normal Necrons
And they’re less scary since like
No gauss weapons
But they're also a lot faster
How easy do normal necrons die?
Not very easily lol
They developed legs and joints that makes them unnervenly fast
Your safest bet is molecular disintegration
Necrons constantly heal injuries they receive
Like make sure nothing is literally left
Or trigger the recall
Okay, starting to get why the ghoul stars are NOT chill
Instead of reanimaton protocol

But flayed ones are slower to get back up
And they're one of the least problematic things in there
And they’re generally like
Weird
They get distracted easily
Hell if you throw a chunk of meat
They might just chase it
Well looks like i finally have use for that baby i found in the abandoned trash
Lol
Okay here’s the thing though, firing exterminatus on a flayed one covered world does nothing
They just leave
They’re annoying as shit for everyone
The Necrons are horrified of them
Most people are horrified of them
Yeah you remember the dimension they use to travel around?
They can live there
The only faction that somewhat likes them is chaos because they cause general chaos
Completely safe from anything outside
That they can exploit
Orks because it's another good thing to fight duh
Also because flayed ones sometimes throw people off
Real
Bro how do imperial generals not commit suicide looking at this shit
Like if you find a flayed one on some imperium world
we are so fucked lmao
Conditioning
Being batshit insane
They are so use this type of crap that they are fine
The imperium is not sane
Like
They are full of faith and propaganda
And general insanity
Being behind a wall of soldiers and heavy machinery helps.
I wonder how faith and propaganda stack up to teleporting flying squiggoths with artillery platforms on artillery
Answer: more artillery.
Not great for anyone involved
Except the orks
Everywhere
Like Orks can live in just about any environment
Also sorta everywhere?
tf do you mean everywhere
Everywhere.
Orks are literally everywhere lol
Radioactive asteroid fields
Acidic swamps
Planets where monsters like godzilla look like babies
They can find a way to live there and thrive
Yeah there's not a singular point in that s*** they're everywhere
okay, so everywhere
Yeah
The only xenos that aren’t everywhere are Eldar(all flavors), Tau and leagues of votaan
Necrons are “everywhere”
don't orks need to eat and sleep? can't we like starve them out? they cannot have sturdy supply lines
But most of them are sleeping
Orks are their own supply line
They eat each ither, sorta.
???
Ork spores grow into squigs
Orks are half-mushrooms.
Squigs are good eating
They’re also good at mauling humies
Depends on the type of squig
Orks also don’t have hair
Those are hair squigs
Yeah their spores
Yeah. There are literally squig breeders that try to create more different kinds of squigs.
what, like mold? So they grow anywhere? Can't we burn them?
That is the solution
However you miss a spore
New ork infestation
They also don't have a concept of gender
And those that do only know that the other one has a weak point in the crotch
Wecan. Problem is their spores are in space. You xant get rid of them.
Kick one type of humie in crotch and they scream louder
Or as they call it a kick in the jibbles
Yes
so if we miss a single spore on an entire planet orks WILL come back?
Yes.
Takes a while for them to grow into an actual full society but yeah
It can take years or even decades for a new ork army to just pop up in a planet
Also killing orks makes them shed a ton of spores
The best way is fire
Spores are in ork blood.
Burn away the spores making sure nothing is left
how do we fight them without burning the whole planet? Is it just one big cycle where we feed guardsmen to the orks until one side is gone?
Oh yeah you know what's funny while they do need to eat and sleep stuff like that they can just photosynthesize
Artillery, guns, fire
So they can survive even without food for a long time
Yes.
Yeah
Cleaning sessions are normal
A few orks are fine
Yup.
Does chaos affect orks?
They’re tough, scary, dangerous
Great until you realize they built a titan powered by steam
Orks are pretty immune
But it can
Chaos can effect pretty much everything but Necrons
Besides, orks are no problem, unless there is a smart one that makestechnology.
Because the Necrons don’t have souls
They are pretty immune and it takes a lot to corrupt them like
Your best bet of an ork becoming chaos is if it joins you willingly most of the time it finds the spiky weak
“Trazyn, do orks breathe?”
They ignore whispers of power because they don't understand them
“They have lungs”
Orks are too simple for chaos corruption.
what about tyranids? can we bait them into fighting orks?
Some orks got corrupted to chaos because they started worshiping an idol of nurgle by accident
This caused warzone octarius
Oh, boy...
Orks grow bigger by fighting
Tyranids collect biomass
You can see where this is going
So it actually just makes everything fucking worse
It's basically a stillmate of a war that will last for as long as no one interrupts
Warzone octarius was one of the greatest gambles and biggeat fuckups of the Imperium in recent history xD
Octarius like wolf said is the best depiction of this
Octarius would have gone on forever if the imperium didn’t fuck with it
And they somehow made the tyranids win
So they literally tried what I was saying and it made everything worse
Yeah it literally got so bloody that it started manifesting Khorne shit there
Since it was a huge fight
Orks evolve by fighting, tyranids evolve by eating. Perpetum mobile of war evolution, where no matter eho wins:Imperium loses.
Yeah the veterans in there are large
Mfw there’s so many skulls a khorne chaos lord ascended to a daemon prince
Wait
Tbf it's pretty logical that nids would eventually win over orks
Okay but the orks were winning
Do orks not see any problems with just feeding tyranids biomass in an endless fight for hundreds of years?
Orks just grow exponentially. They're pure attrition. Tyranids actually adapt tactically while also growing.
Till the imperium fucked with the warzone
Yeah they adapt strategies but so Orks
They don’t care, it’s a good fight
They are capable of strategy and being random
No. They dont know shit about biomass or evolution
Orks often don’t have long term strategic planning
Orkz just wanna have fun
Big bugs give good fight.
When fighting something like tyranids
WAAAAAGH!
It was their greatest weakness at octarius
Yeah it just boils down to kill them all
They were basically just overpowering the adaptability of the nids
Because they kept getting bigger and bigger
wait they were winning??!
(It failed horribly)
Yes
Like i'm pretty sure that place would have spawned another Ghaz
The orks were winning octarius
If it just kept getting on and on
It did
Ghaz did show up for a bit himself lmao
The overfiend of octarius
Bro orks are way fucking stronger than I thought
