Guess im never gonna play any game involving a birdie
Yeah
Some of them are world famous like Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal
What is going on ?
If the God Emperor comes back he is probably going to kill the whole Ecclesiarch.
I mean I am just saying.
Talking bout sports lore i think
I felt it was important to add how good at bowling i am to the conversation
Kinda, didnt BobbyG ask him about that stuff, and all emps said was like, it’s outta my hands
But if he had the power he would probably burn it down again.
The logistical investment to rid the massive imperium of the imperial creed and replace it with imperial truth is too high
It's out of his power but he still hates religion.
There is a reason he got rid of all religion, and cults too. Anything like that he hated it.
He sees a means to an end, if he truly despised religion, the Machine Cult wouldnt have existed
Yet, he still allowed the mechanium to worship him as the avatar of the machine god from the get go
Then by that sentiment
The unfortunate truth of the Creed is that it is also a means to an end
Ecclesiarch wasn't made by him.
He also allowed Baal to be religious because Sanguinius said dont kill them please
The esoteric and pseudo religious views of the Space Wolves?
Those two things werent made by him, same with the Machine Cult
The mission isnt Ultimate Reddit r/Atheism, the goal is for humanity as a singular cell as the sole inheritors and OWNERS of the galaxy
And I think having humanity evolve to becoming like the eldar, a psychic race.
Dilara can correct me on that
Once again the man hated religion and disbanded it for good reason. However much like Guilliman it's kind of hard to disband it all.
Its not just hard, its stupid to do it with whats happening right now
Lets just go into another potential civil conflict whilst we got our pants around our ankles
Humans were already evolving psykers, the Emperor wanted to control and refine the process so that they didn't, you know, explode into demons
Emperor out here forcing us to edge
Ogryns should be put to more work
The tau are bad at melee combat because they do hit and run tactics.
And keep their distance
White Scars and Raven Guard are horrible at melee combat because they also do hit and run tactics
In a galaxy with main 4 religions are breaking reality, it's just understandable that he wanted none of that jazz
A honorable ideal, but impossible to put into practice, pretty much how I’d sum up all of the emperors decisions
If he’d be more willing to accept limitations and make compromises you could nudge difficult groups into being more favorable to what you want, sure, it wouldn’t be 100% what you want, but that’s what compromise is
Will say. Ogryn best choice. Simple mind? Simple life
Hey, just want to know something...
What the Krak is a Grox??
its a space lizard cow
Mmm
Oooooo
Bull sized lizard that is used for food, and leather
pretty sure they are carnavors
but very agressive
thats why tey are drugged up to high hell
So get sedated most of the time
I thought it would be a bit more leathery hide than a scaly hide....
But teeth and horns make sense.
pretty sure they jsut scrape the scales off
10,000 years of selective breeding and genetic tinkering and we still cant make a grox that isnt an opium addict...
Do u want drugs made from drug infused cow shit
My second thought of the beast, was a bipedal thick hide beast with large horns and gnarly teeth.
its like kopi luak but instead of a cat pooping out half digested coffee beans, its a big evil cow pooping out half digested valiums
Kinda like a small T-Rex type of stature
Who was I fangirling with about Godzilla a few days back?
the malnourished skavenslave staring at the 350kg bomb about to slam into his skull
Urgh
Total war, for star wars? Just....how?
Star wars effectively fights like they're in WW2 still
With added tactical and strategic consideration for orbital control
I mean it can work for WW1 type of warfare
If they want to do non historical cause those don't sell well, they should do a LotR or a Grand Mythology (not the half baked Troy system)
Old tactics and strategies meet industrial technology
There were cavalry charges in the war, and brutal close quarters combat
This would work
total war with a setting like age of mythology could be neat

I'm not sure where this came from
But it's nice to have a version this clean

Rip indeed.
Anyway this is clean af
Fucking gw and their stupidass suicidal politics.
this was back when they instantly cease and desisted everyone too
now they do it more under-wraps lol
"hey, you are a talented fan? Cool! How about we kill your love for our franchise and us?"
What prioritizing spreadsheets and legality does to a franchise
40k fans scary
Anyone here heard of trench crusade?
Yeah 40k "fans" tried to invade it lol
Ikr?
Oof drama aside, I just read the lore sample of it. And I gotta say, it looks so METAL and cool
Yeah its a great setting super underrated
It probably got enough new fans from the drama lol
Same as how Femstodes lead to custards being sold out 
Makes one wonder how does anyone even hope to fight against millions of demons that can easily destroy someone's mind just by speaking?
They "lost" people there for tradcath larping
Weaponized ignorance
Trench crusade?
That ain't tradcath, more of straight orthodox-crusaders on steroids larp
What do I miss again? Drama?
Wut you mean? You make 40k art no?
The warp if people were just nice to each other or something: 
Yeh cus I like it
But why you say you would if already doing it?
But the online 40k community on the open spaces is pretty horribad 
He meant that doing art of 40k for any other purpose but self is a road to damnation by gws friendliness.
I mean I will LIKELY get CnD'd if I mention commissions outloud
nuke sirens
Oh... good thing you dont do commissions
Nope, not me, no sir
He just mentioned it.

But he said if he did do that he couldnt draw
Be well, Ederius. Been nice knowing you. I can already sense gw's personal mercenaries storming your building.
Yo mod mind if I drop the paladin pic from trench crusade here?
If the Pinkertons don't get me then the Serbian taxman will
Eredius' John Wick arc when.
Ulgo have slavic accent do not worry will talk to him!
Ederius*
Ulgo will be like dog in movie yes?
No, Ulgo will be like suit off John Wick.
Get shot but live! Is what lil uns told Ulgo was what happened
Indestructible.
Ulgo John Wick?
Depends. Can you kill a bunch of armed men with a pencil?
Wots that?
A tool to write with. Or draw.
Regular pencil or Ogryn sized pencil?
Yea that a good queshon larmoth
Wouldn't make a difference to John Wick. Will it to you, Ulgo?
If it tiny Ulgo could use it. But yes, could kill them with pencil
Then yes! Ulgo John Wick.

Fuck yeah it does say it! Love your energy, Brother.
If you put our psyker and a space marine in a small arena, both have completely nothing on them, butt nude, would our psyker win?
less goo us!
If smite. Meybe. If assail yes. If brain burst yes yes
Are Goliaths just as strong or a little bit weaker than Ogryns. Because I know they have more muscle bulk than Space Marines.
"Oh shit a space marine" loud crunching noise
Just
Will the space wizard or the big dude win
goliaths from necromunda probably arent quite as strong as an ogryn
they're big and strong, but ogryn are truly enormous and stronger than light tanks
Is this channel only for information and objective stuff or opinions and current affairs on 40k too?
Yes
It’s supposed to be just for lore, sometimes it drifts off topic though
idk, you tell me
who is the main character in the story?
Me justifying my depression
John darktide
is he the space wizard or the big dude?
I think if smite then psyker 100% loses, he just gets the ten extra seconds of eye contact to make peace xd
Assail and definitely BB got big chances though
If you decide to power scale 40k for whatever asinine reason, psykers can often overpower a space marine
Really, the zealot and the guardsman are probably the weakest on the team
Well we're all Main Characters which changes things ofc
But in general a space marine is only marginally more resistant to psykers than a guardsman
And psykers can get pretty ridiculous if they spawn with good RNG
Like the psykers who literally had enough power to mind control a system
kinda hard to beat someone that can just snuff out your soul with a glance
It's definitely possible and very variable depending on the power level and type of the psyker, but I was really just basing it off of the powers we get in the game. I feel like it's a pretty fair assessment
i must bring up the time a soul drinker story had a psyker entity so powerful that it nearly became a chaos god
ben counter does not hold back
I love how the chaos gods usually like their first captains more then the primarchs
It’s like
Kinda insanely deep but also baller as shit
Is angron happy with the state he's in or is he just gone mentally?
he is pretty much gone mentally
was he ever happy with this state of being?
afaik he only became a daemon because the nails flat out kill him in a fight with one of the loyalist Primarchs
so Lorgar shit a brick and made him into the daemon on the spot
Considering his favorite moment in life is the few seconds of pure peace he feels every time he dies. Probably not okay.
I've summarized a good amount of lore in 40k includes a lot of "what ifs"
His receding hair says otherwise
As said magnus has always been in the wrong.
The Emperor said so himself.
Obviously.
Nothing that came from the Emperor was right
I mean he sees things in as much as a person without their glasses. He sees things but in fragments.
He shouldnt be the one driving then
You don’t need the Emperor to say Magnus was wrong to know he was wrong
You can just have two eyes and be able to read
Or two ears and able to listen to the books
Fulgrim is like the one traitor the emperor had no hand in lol
Had he not hid the truth about Chaos, maybe Fulgrim wouldn't have fallen
"Had the Emperor not" is like the tagline for everything that goes wrong in the Horus Heresy
To be honest it wasn't his fault.
The Emperor quite literally built a wall to keep daemons out. But to be honest he was right people used psykers foolishly and the Imperium suffered from it.
Psykers attract daemons and many unsanctioned psykers made this worse. Even Horus believed this.
I wish I could pole polish just like you
It couldn't be helped half his sons were dense as hell
Like Father like Son
The emperor has too many schemes and plans for him to be seen as trustworthy or be taken at face value lol
Fulgrim was the chaos MVP tbh
Dude was racking up primarch kills by the time he ran into the Eye of Terror
He has one
Well ig he only killed 2 primarchs but that's twice as many as anyone else
Malcador can also kinda be counted as killing the most
If you believe the theory anyway
Anyone who says Guilliman wasn't functionally dead is just being a stickler for details, he spent the next 10,000 years in a box and his heart stopped
He was technically down but not out and just needed a rez
That doesn't count as a kill lol
He did need to die to wake up though, Yvraine literally said "already let's turn off his life support"
So he was functionally dead and got a real resurrection
That would mean she killed him
Fulgrim got the kill assist
It's not the same lol
Fulgrim also beat Ferrus twice, he just decided not to kill him the first time
Ferrus had no plot and someone writing obviously didn't like him
Fulgrim does consistently body other primarchs
Perturabo killed Fulgrim, but Fulgrim let him do it because killing his physical body was how he became a daemon and Fulgrim pretty explicitly had complete control of the situation
Body probably taken literally there
Mortatian has fair amount of wins under this belt as well
It seems like Magnus keeps losing though
Yeah Magnus doesn't really win fights that often lmao
Who's the big loser on the loyalist side? Maybe Lion?
Lion got his ass whipped by Luthor and Horus tricked him pretty good. He got a hold of Curze but like, who hasn't beaten up Curze.
Guilliman loses pretty often too, especially to other primarchs, but the guy has been resurrected twice and never really had consequences for losing fights because he's the Important Boy
Only loyalist who had wins was corvus and he's not even really present
Dorn killed one of the twins
Or did he
Guilliman ALLEGEDLY killed the other
Or did he
Nah Dorn pretty clearly killed one of them, Guilliman's kill is the questionable one
I love the alpha legion aesthetic scale armor but damn I hate the logic of the shit
It's not as confusing as people paint it
Like the alpha legion memes are just fans acting like conspiracy theorists
Even though he says everything he says is the truth but that is a lie
There are alpha legion mysteries, but it's not as messy as people say
Like we do know Dorn killed one for sure, probably Alpharius, but Guilliman probably just believes he killed the other
Nachos messy or chilli dog messy?
But dorn lost a hand and disappeared
Not like capturing him will do any good he's too stubborn
Even if Alph dying wasn't explicit the AL ditch the traitor war effort immediately after
I require more corvus activities and space sharks
Alpha Legion kind of self-splintered due to everyone in it plotting against everyone, partially including themselves.
Even as someone who likes them, I see that issue.
Need more ogryn stories
Where do people discuss about "opinions and current affairs" of 40k without the risk of getting silenced for rule breaking?
Depends what you mean by "Rule breaking?"
Like doesn't matter where you talk, if you're directly breaking the rules you're probably gonna get in trouble.
Yeah like if you're actively breaking rules 4 and 11 then uh lol
We dont "silence" anyone unless they are being bigoted or acting like assholes so not sure what's that suppose to mean.
You can talk about anything you want, just don't be a dick lol
Of course not. What I meant was, most discord servers generally follow a relatively strict rule about topics in each text channels. 1-2 question or comment can slip in without any issue but not a whole discussion.
But I'm worried if the topic can start a conflict of opinion.
I wanted to ask about the recent reaction of the community from 40k lore retcon and whole Henry Cavill situation. Since, the topic is entirely a subjective thing and everyone has their own opinion, I wasn't sure if this is the right topic for a channel named "Lore chat".
We usually discuss it here
There isn't really a Henry Cavill situation tbh
That entire Cavill thing comes from 4chan which is infamous for having extremely flimsy "leaks".
Fake 4chan leak saying he's "Grr angry and leaving"
It's just grifters who're taking a troll post as fact
31 seconds · Clipped by Ederius · Original video "More Like Games Wokeshop" by HeyWoah
Also here's a TLDR
Ah yes that
The rumor surrounding Henry is still having effect on people. Whether a rumor is true or not, they usually make impact on a developing situation.
It's not even a rumour
It literally came from a troll post
Where a guy says at the end "Source my dad works at Nintendo"
I mean there's a pretty specific group we're referring to 
Yes, the troll created a rumor.
Origin of it is usually irrelevant.
^
Not really the same thing at all lol
Like you would've seen them here every day for some 2 weeks or so
Also like the female custodian thing is literally the dumbest thing you can ever be "upset" about.
Its just a case of "who cares" or "I like it"

Or even "I dislike it but not enough to make a spat about it" idk
Like the sudden arrival of the Votann are basically the same scale of lore change, but nobody complained about that
At the end of the day GW is here for business. The online debates are creating so much smoke screen, it's difficult to assume how much of the community is okay with it and how much are not.
and it was the exact same of "Yea they've always been there, we just haven't mentioned it until now" it's standard GW practice for adding things to the story
The community is mostly fine with it
Exemplefied mainly by Custodes being wholesale sold out 
The arguments kinda just signal boosted everything and got some Grift youtubers to cover it
Why do you Browse HorusGalaxy
Bro did not just quote a guy with that username
r/Horusgalaxy
Bro I'm sorry but that place gets weird
Horusgalaxy is not a good place
When stuff like this happens its basically
- 90% of the fandom does not care at all for the positivity or negativity because they are just here to play/paint minis
- 10% who are the online vocal minority Complains/Fights a lot then its forgotten in like a month or so
it was the same with primaris
people kept saying "40k is dead"
"im leaving"
PEOPLE BURNT THEIR FIRSTBORN 💀

otherwise tho yeah
"Primaris killed warhammer"
I started going in 40k after Primaris became a thing. That also created a chaos like this?
Yeah
Well yeah because it's filled with weird incels who got banned from everywhere else lol, it's why it exists
You'll notice these guys around, typically referred to as "Grognards"
That or oldheads
"Everything was better 10 years ago/in 6th ed!" etc.
Just misplaced Nostalgia
Basically
I just glanced through that subreddit. I'm confused. What is this subreddit is about? Like, what's topic/specialty that makes them any different?
They got banned for breaking rules about hate speech and made their own "censorship free" space where the mods let you be bigotted
Though if you dare to say anything they deem "woke" you are immediately dog piled
The female custodes thing started in April, right?
I'm not being hyperbolic or anything that shit is full of stuff like "LGBT people are subhuman degens who worship slaanesh"
Yeah early-mid april give or take
People forget that "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them" is literally standard operating procedure for GW when they change or add to the lore, it's not some new big thing from GW trying to gaslight people with the fem Custodes.
Dark Eldar added in 3rd edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Tau added in 3rd edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Deathwatch added in 3rd edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Grey Knights added in 3rd edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Necrons added in 2nd edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Sisters of Silence added in 5th edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Votann added in 9th edition "They've always been there, we just never mentioned them"
Oh yea, it's "Uncensored" which means it's an Alt Right cesspit where they ban anyone they disagree with.
Yes
Yea
What you expected these guys to be honest and not hypocritical bigots?
it fits their definition of "Lets me be racist"
Like I've seen people banned for posts like "People might be overreacting, things aren't that bad" and the reason being things like "Woke argument baiting"
Sorry I did a really quick skim of this, but from what I got was basically guy thinks that there should be male centered hobbies. The thing is, I agree but I also realize that 40k, among other war games, will always be male centric. No one is going to stop guys from getting their armies together, getting a table ready, and shooting the shit while drinking and having a good time, not even if women or others start coming into the war gaming scene.
Guy also got weird a bit with the "Girls are told to be themselves, but we're told to act more like girls!" bit but whatever
I bet he loves the 4chan "hobby replacement theory" lol
Ah yeah men mental health is horrid as of late
Bullshit
Explain
Yeah that part I was referring to as weird
It's not what's written but consider his wording in the entire article and also the subreddit he's fucking posting in
It's common as fuck for these idiots to dress up their shitty opinions in the cloak of "I just want to have fun" or some other faux-reason
I do think opening up and being honest with yourself and others is based
Yeah but you know what's encouraged in male dominated spaces 
It's not womanly, it's just not macho
I am always wrong 
You've not been around much
Gotta say it's a bad post
Yeah like it's literally just dressed up to look reasonable
Traditional masculinity values modesty, humility and to not be prone to outbursts of passion. just want to put that out there
"Men are VOCALLY encouraged to have better mental health but this is almost exclusively done by PRACTICALLY suggesting that they behave more like women: "share their emotions, talk, open up, be vulnerable"."
These are not womanly traits, these are human traits.
Now what happens when said masculinity is enforced by a bunch of weird idiots 
It turns toxic
Also the entire thing reeks of "I want to be able to act like an ass and I can't do that when women are around"
No one is enforcing masculinity imo, there's definitely some very insecure people out there who never had someone in their life teach them what masculinity is
(Like the above poster probably lol)
No lemon the dude's basically advocating for toxic masculine spaces lmao
I mean, if they want to have a space for themselves they can have it, who cares
Yeah no one would stop them
Yea I see it a lot people online will basically defend Male spaces as "We can't act like guys if girls are there", if you can't act that way when girls are around, then maybe you shouldn't be acting that way?
Real
Or
Ogryn Wisdom
I love Ogryn Wisdom
Imo, if girls have girl only spaces, guys should have guy only spaces, they're both unhealthy to me, but both should have them if they so choose
Not listen to others talk bad about your hobby. What do they know of it? Nuthin thats what
Yuh obviously, the issue here is more that the dude is trying to sell the idea that women being in a space means that space is compromised
Well that's what friend groups are for, you just choose who you let in
I mean I don't agree with Female Custodes, but it's not because they're female, it's because they changed years and years of lore calling them a brotherhood, sons, etc etc
Women in my space high fantasy science fiction setting makes it more girly for me....
Especially since they're doing it just to you know, pander
You've been a refreshingly calm voice about it if it's any consolation
Though i disagree it's just pandering
ADB and co have wanted it for years
source even less credible than legend of total war's sources
Since Master of Mankind or so iirc
Before that and their addition in Horus Heresy they had like, minimal lore if any
The thing is, you probably won't even notice because they're all 10 ft plus tall super demi God soldiers likely wearing similar armor if not the same shit. Very little changes
If ask about spaces. Sometimes it good to have own space. Sure if it public place then it can get hard to enjoy, but! If it werent public then you wouldnt be there. But, if really need yer own space for ya, thats what frends are for. Real frends a mean.
It's a similar idea to the "Third place" somewhere you can go to get away from things etc, which is fine in concept. But a lot of the time people end up using these spaces as a place to act in a way that they know is inappropriate because it's "shielded" nature
In my mind if it wasn't pandering it would've been that way from the start, if you want something different, atleast find a way to introduce them that's still accurate to the mass source material. I'd be cool with that, but since it's a significant lack of adherence to the lore it just doesn't feel like it's in my best interest
They wanted to include them at the start per ADB
But some GW exec told them off because the models were made and they kinda didn't think about it lol
It's a marketing thing
Sure but, they could find a way, in lore, to make the custodes be able to also be female
And I wouldn't say it's significant
I like that answer Ulgo
Why change previous lore so drastically
It isn't drastic or significant
Let me get my previous post
^
They just have ladies now and the biggest differences is a pronoun or two here and there 
A mean yes makin frends hard but, if they answer ya back with what they think is right. Dem true frends
This is and will always be how GW handle lore changes and it's what they do with every edition
The one time they didn't do this was with the Primaris and everyone hated it
Well I didn't
Because Primaris are cooler than Firstborn
But not everyone is as smart as me
I personally disagree, I'm so indifferent to biological sex that just having someone with different reproductive organs doesn't have any meaningful impact to me. Or in general I think. Which is why it feels like they're pandering to try to encompass a larger audience
Yeah but they aren't
If it new and more powerfull. A fink to maself. Wonder if i could kill it
Maybe it's just because of my view that sex really shouldn't be considered because it doesn't matter
You should apply that indifference here because it's a genuinely just a minor change
It got blown waaaaaay out of proportion
I've grown to despise star wars with every fiber of my being, so absolutely fuck that
Wait you don't care at all about the gender of the character but you're still against there being both gender now ?
I do, I'm looking at it objectively, if it was so minor why change it? That's why I feel like I'm pandered towards if that makes sense.
I think this whole thing would've been much more significant if it were female space marines
But if it's so minor, why is changing it problematic?
TBF they sort of do treat it like it doesn't matter, it's just "Here's a story about a Custodes who's a woman" like the whole story isn't about their gender, it's just a footnote that marks their existence
I'm against them breaking lore integrity for really small changes
But it doesn't really break lore integrity, also GW has no lore integrity
How do you like 40k then
Lore intergrity is not hurt in the slightest
40k lore integrity is so fragile that a stiff breeze causes sweeping changes 
There's no "sacred solid" canon, even the codices are mostly just flavour text propaganda
40k is almost like Fate lore: there is always an exception to the rule.
Like introducing Fem SM
Yes that change quite a lot cause it's currently cannon that there can only be Male SM, but Custodes never had such a lore point
It's mainly pretty good honestly, but it can be cheap and annoying, I was just as annoyed when the made the failure that abbadon is be like "oh teehee, he actually accomplished something vewy vewy secwet on does faiwed cwusades"
The classic tagline for 40k lore is "Everything is canon, not everything is true"
I was like, wow that's cheap imo
Weren't they for years always reference as a brotherhood? Emperor's sons (I think?)
The brotherhood of assassins wasn't all male 
Brotherhood doesn't really mean anything
Brotherhood of Steel aren't all men
star wars is too safe, most boring shit backed up by fucking disney
It means a gathering of brothers technically
i hate most corps but they up there
Yeah technically but in practice in fiction it's typically not all male
Perhaps I'm just tired of large scale companies pandering to me to sell more products, especially when it's obvious, everything just feels like a corporate scheme to sell me more things and I'm probably just jaded
Because of the way the english language is structured male is seen as the default
You must hate space marines then lol
That's most latinizised languages
So a Sisterhood is a collection of Sisters, but a Brotherhood is not neccesarily a collection of brothers
Brotherhood and Fraternities don't mean that there aren't women
Vehemently yes
I hate the circle jerk around space marines
A nothing burger change that really shouldn't matter as much as it does
Like even in the dex they don't make a fuss about it
It's custodes lore that would exist regardless just with "he"s instead of "she"s
Also the whole "Abbadons victories were retcons" is fake lore
I mean I don't care truly, it's a made up universe it'll never affect me, but I find it annoying on the same grounds of Matt Ward space marines
Since 2nd edition Codex's have mentioned the Black Crusades achieving their goals
The only real retcons involved the exact outcomes of the 13th Crusade because it was tied to audience participation
But the other Crusades were always successful with seperate targets
Codex's have always talked up factions and units while crazy, nothing is more biased than codex's in fairness
I also hate the end times in fantasy lore 
everyone does am pretty sure
I mean that in particular is pretty universally hated because even if you didn't hate the idea it was handled very poorly lol
Yea Endtimes was done poorly, it's broadly agreed
What with entire characters being forgotten and shit
and other characters did random 180's
We got AoS out of it so I forgive it but ouchies
character who weren't forgotten and did a big 180 yeah
Good guys became Daemons, bad guys become heroes
You know how I feel about space marines so my favorite setting dying to get Fantasy Space marines had me punching air
"Malekith was to be the true ruler this whole time!!"
Yes Malekith the enslaver was actually the true and glorious Noble King all along.
it's molderion or something now
1st Ed Stormcast blew ass
I like his original name more
Yea Malekiths Endtime change was so dumb that AOS ignored it
Wow space marines

I love the idea of an end times though
i don't like aos at all it's not my thing, but the minis are just good visually
It's just pulled off so extraordinarily badly
AOS went "No he's not a good guy, he's an evil Shadow monster now"
I love the crow-based demigryph so much
Guess who wrote that 
Ulgo wanted Sigmar be cool
and the main bad thing to come from Endtimes was Old World
nostalgia farming peaked that day

old world would've been so fine if they actually did new minis and also new factions added in tww
Genius marketing move by GW, screw Warhammer Fantasy so badly that fans never forget, then wait 10 years and sell them the same minis for massively inflated prices
Kislev is getting minis at least right
Not this edition
yeah ik, but at some point
Victor bestest
Probably yeah
unlike cathay which is probably never
Fantasy is ironically only as popular as it is because Endtimes was so bad
it got 2 of the best franchise of all warhammer labelled video games to help when end times hit aswell
If Endtimes had of been mediocre or decent, then the setting probably would have faded into obscurity, but the outrage over Endtimes kept the community alive and growing.
tww1 and vermintide both released in 2015 which is when the end times ended iirc
AoS also got semi popular afterwards

I really need to get some Steelhelms...
AOS supremacy
Just needs some headswaps for diff helmets
I gave mine one of the unhelmeted heads from the Morvenn Vahl kit to give it a Joan of Arc feel
Oo
Kinda not lore and more GW but
Isn’t the reveal for 40k stuff supposed to be coming 1.5 hrs later?
GW’s been suddenly awfully quiet about it…
They're always quiet about it before the actual reveals tbh
On the one hand, true.
On the other hand…I almost expected the Twitch link would be up on the Warhammer Community page lol.
But then again it could just be me being too eager
(To see what the things are)
Nah
It’s usually last minute lmao
It’s kind of funny
Sometimes the stream starts before the link is up
Rofl
What stream is it ?
40k/30k preview
yep!
That's great
Forgot what the theory for the next Necromunda thing was
GSC ? I think
Did they finish the thing with the brewery ?
I don't remember ngl
new SoB units
Make necromunda great again
Necromunda is quite good rulewise atm
Ad Mech returning in force for HH
The Magos Prime look good
Man I hate it when GW jumps the canon like this.
2 Castelax
6 Thalax
1 Triaros
20 Adseculari
That's not a bad battle box
its very good
but I'm not gona be using the thralls or thallax in HH lol
6+ and 4+ save

Cult of the second son
So it's following the Brewery stuff
"They jump now?!"
"They jump now."
that hive secundus stuff looked so fucking good
Both Necromunda guys have non English accent
I think one is French no ?
Would have prefered a full Spyrer gang
yeah this season is a must buy for me even if I won't get anyone to play it with me
holy shit i did not have to see that
What if genestealers but a little busted
that looks amazingly horrific
Average basement dwelling Custodes fan
of course
Slightly sad at the lack of potential summer Agents reveal, but overall quite nice.
Loved the return of the Spyrer mini even thought the new lore means I can’t have it for a Rogue Trader (due to now having to do extensive surgery to wear the suit)
Id guess that there are various pattern of Spyrer armour
Well various Orrus
I know there are other types
Like the point of RT stuff is you can get exotic within reason
Love the Matriarch
It’s easy to explain why one or two of these guys might join a rt
Different ways to prove themselves and such
But I think IRT's though was about a RT wearing one
Change a lot
are there other type of human-sized war suits like this
Probably trickle out some more as the year goes on and time goes on
I'd guess they will be released alongside Ganger forces
Suppose Esher will have the Matriarch
Goliath with Patriarch
so can my rt modify these to basically imitate warmachine?
yes it is then
Malcadon with Delague
Yeld with Orlok
Jakaras with Cawdor
The Patriarch could i guess
nice my RT is going to have a blast
Jesus how many weapon options does the Canoness have
Do they know this model is made for 10th edition?
Hand Flamer, Power Sword, Power Mace, an Eviscerator and a Halberd
variety is the spice of life
for the mace and sword
evisc and halberd might share the same profile
mace and sword def gona share the same one
Think Mace and Sword will share since they're just listed as "Power weapon and hand flamer"
But I think eviscerator and halberd will be different
Also that respirator head looks great
The default Seraphim don't have that do they?
Don't forget dual pistols
they do
Can they do duel pistols?
Yes
Not on the community page
Hmmm
We'll see
Weird
Yea the article says it has 3 head options, bare head, hooded head and respirator
The Battleforce is tempting
Honestly, I really really like the new gsc combat patrol
Also HOLY SHIT NOT ONLY NEW GENESTEALERS, NEW GENESTELAER CULT UPGRSDE SPRUE
I’ll probably buy 1 of the old box
And then the new battle force
And the new cb
GSCS FEASTING TODAY
The new Sisters Patrol is alright
Sucks it doesn't have any vehicles, but it's full squads
and it's a nice round box for new players I guess
It’s a genestealer cult themed upgrade sprue for the outcasts
ah
New weapons and heads
Also serviyors!!
cure them
Hopefully these new admehc models get 40k rules
they won't
Probably not
fires of cyraxus was the last chance of that happening
and fires of cyraxus died with alan bligh
Is the Van Saar team plastic
Thallax are part of the ordo reductor
Yes
Based
They said when they released the Solar Auxillia, they don't want the two games crossing over like that
I kinda really like them
mfw daemons
Hey Elite look on the bright side, if the tech thralls are priced like Auxilia you can actually afford an admech army now
LOL

Also I hope. The fucked genestealers 40k rules
I was meaning in general
Fair
they're purestrain sized
Just run them as stealers yeah
imo they're great to spice up an army
Maybe Sisters rules will finally be fun once the Codex comes out
I wanna make a genestealer themed nids army
I'm getting a thanatar and castellax

Maybe our anti vehicle units will actually be good vs vehicles 
Surprised how much I like the incest nids /hj
Flapjack gross sound effect
Maybe our melee units will actually be good at melee 
It’s cool af!
sentenced to S5 repentia
jokes aside SoB hopefully getting their profiles buffed
Seraphim in the Battleforce and Arco's in the Patrol make me have a little bit of hope 
Yea Acro's are basically our only decent melee unit
Like there's literally zero point in using Death Cult Assassins
cool minis tbh but like
ehhh
Death cult assassins feel very grandfathered in to me ngl
They feel the least associated with the ecclisarchy
Like if the choice is not spend points or take Death Cult Assassins, you might be better off just not spending the points tbh
can't they die to go generate faith dice lol
Like the Death Cult Assassins have a 5+ Invul, are toughness 3 and have 1 wound, a move of 7 and nothing else
No infiltration, no stealth, no rapid ingress
Nope
Like if they could actually get into melee they could fuck up a squad of Guardsmen, but they will never get into melee
Also
lmao
better melee weapon then Wych's
def blenders for chaff if you can deliver them though
issue is delivering them lol
Like 6 Death Cult assassins maybe could do something, but then you're spending 105 points on them
and you could get 10 Sacresants for 120
Hell you could get 6 Crusaders for 75 and they're more likely to survive the first round
Sororitas Subreddit is malding over both the Battleforce and the Patrol
They aren’t great
They're alright
New patrol is worse value
Battle force is fine
You get a free tank + a bit extra saving
New Patrol might be worse value but it's full squads and not monopose
We were never going to get as good a value as the old box
But the thing with the old box is despite how great in value it was lots of people hated it
True
Like I bought the box because it's a no brainer because of the value saving, still hated it
I don't get the Exorcist in the Battleforce tbh
I guess from a visual perspective is an Organ to accompany the Heavenly Host of Angels
But it's still kinda odd
tbh it feels like GW needed to shove something in lol
Yea
its like the random ass chicken in the old admech battleforce
like
why is it here
Thing is though, there was no Battleforce Box or Combat Patrol box they could have made that would have satisfied the Subreddit
Because the issue is there just aren't that many units
and all the older collectors already have atleast 3 of every unit
Now if they'd release Biker Repentia and put them in the Battleforce alongside the Seraphim and Jump Canoness, then you'd have people creaming
Biker repentia go crazy lol
is the word "kasrkin" short for anything?
No, just a reference to Kasr’s
yeah thats what i was asking
luetin provided
like, my thinking was that they were the kin of 'kasrs' but i still had 0 clue of what kasr were
Kasr’s are fortress’s in the middle of cadian cities that are fortified to hell and back, it’s also where kasrkin are trained
I thought Kasrs were Cadian cities
I see
Now granted cadian cities are already built like a urban planners worst nightmare for “defensive positions”
But the kasrs are like actual fucking hell holes to take
I figure Kasrs are the only part they actively care about then
The rest of the city is just a crumple zone lol
Fortress worlds are designed where the whole section matters.
The center is obviously the most key but they force you to take the entire perimeter to get to the middle.
You mean designed as a maze.
And to purposely confuse enemies and give them a huge advantage against enemies.
People who say sisters of battle armor is unrealistic are stupid. Romans had Ab Armor, and in the 1600's armor had cod pieces.
its more about firing angles from fortifications than maze-ness
It's both.
It's designed like a killing field on a castle.
They're meant to be confusing for enemies whilst also putting them at a huge disadvantage.
lots of places to get some lovely cross-fire going
I still can’t believe my favorite faction got 2 releases!
They can be both yes
It’s designed to be very frustrating to take
The Fall of Cadia book goes into it
For enemies it is a maze as how stairs were designed to make it hard to get up the stairs, but castles and fortifications were meant to be confusing to enemies.
And others
I was thinking of how castle stairs are designed to be annoying on purpose.
Good thing Cadians are good at urban combat and everyone is a soldier.
While Cadia fell it made the Imperium more organized as a military. And their culture never died but if anything became more prevalent. While it was destroyed it only made their culture stronger and their influence grew as martyrs.
i wanna make a zealot class and name it after like some zealot from wk40k lore yall know any names?
Are blanks like anti-magic?
I mean it's the best way I can think of it.
Like how the warp is it's the closest thing.
Basically
Macharius(technically a saint but y'kno)
Anti magic yeah. Their souls are like inverted souls
alr, thanks man
Macharius must be a popular name for babies lol
I mean assassins are pariahs but cannot be sensed by anyone expect Necrons.
It doesn't matter with Necrons as they can sense you coming.
Warp entity or not they know.
There is one Necron who saw them coming awhile away.
Anyone can find culuxus assassins is more my point
It’s just hard
Or you’ll notice because you’re in horrific agony
I mean some are stealthy.
I keep hearing assassins are better then space marines.
Others have to use more conventional methods to hide
Assassins are better individually due to their augments and training
There’s a lot less of them though
Then there is the sisters of silence that would probably scare the best of the best space marines.
Don't need it.
They’re pretty much using some of the best gear a normal human can get though
And marines can def overpower them
Sisters of Battle can deal with most things expect a charged plasma. But not surprising.
There is literal toads on catachan that can explode even custodes armor.
They'd prolly be scary to marine psykers
Since that's kinda their deal and job
So it's just highly corrosive
And they've never encountered Custodes as far as I'm aware.
So not sure where you're getting that.
Custodes haven't left Terra in 10k years.
At least the majority of them.
They jsut officially started doing it after Guilliman left and more openly.
During the Crusades after Cadia.
I am assuming.
Surprised they didn't go to Cadia during that whole thing. Abbadon would probably be quaking in his boots.
There's a book on it and probably not.
Then again he got his ass kicked by humans 12 times.
He didnt
The other 12 crusades had different objectives.
Some arguably he lost but
13 times it took to destroy Cadia. But he didn't do it alone.
It was cultists and rebels.
It was when he got his ass kicked that he had to 9/11 cadia.
He was losing until he did that.
Yeah he did it to get some use out of the fortress lol
But it was looking like a chaos victory till then
Oh he got his kicked for a minute there.
The fortress was dead already
But it didn't really matter.
Yeah abbadon was doing pretty well till the pylons turned on
And the eye of terror closing is
Kind of something you can’t ignore
Battle Fleet Gothic getting involved
So his decision to slam the BSF into the planet is sound imo
Like per Fall by the time the Pylons turn on the Loyalists on world are mainly reduced to holdouts and whoever was in the caverns with Creed and Cawl
Sure made it a little tricky and were a nuisance but it didn't stop him.
Not just the pylons.
It was also disabled and he didn't feel like bothering with it since it actively resisted/sabotaged him
Yes but it was a ship made to kill the c'tan.
So of course it would crush a world.
Makes the death star look like a joke.
At least originally but purposes change.
I imagine that was fun for whoever was near them
"That was a good fight Plagueis, let us report to Abaddon"
Legs break, puss immediately explodes onto the nearest chaos marine
Yeah ngl plague marines totally ate shit
When the pylons turned on
Nurgle affiliated marines in genera
Trayzn getting involved at least allowed Cawl to live another day.
Trazyn literally saved Cadia
Funnily enough
If he didn’t intervene it would have been cracked
Nurgle marines are hit worst by any kind of blank garbage
It cracked but he did save lives getting involved.
Is it in dark imperium where they get hit with blank torpedoes and they literally fall apart?
Trazyn supercharging the shields kept it from dying instantly
Hs got a free trophy from Cadia.
and he only went there because he was bored lol
So that the space wolves could board the BSF
Collection opportunity lol
Also the stupid fucking bell
I mean it was Necron pylons and he was like.
He did lose a few of his collectibles tbf
He has spares
These are my pylons why do you have them he was like.
Tbf he has spares of spares
The ones he brought weren’t on display
I found it immensely funny that the marine lasted longer in a 1v1 with him than the custode
No it was some high ranking ultramarine from the heresy
Is an example
But yes he sent in heresy ultramarines.
Cato Sicarius and Malum Caedo.
Are some of the strongest modern space marines. Other then Titus. At least for the Ultramarines.
I forget the other guys name.
Marneus Calgar?
Cato is a veteran at best.
But he is considered to be the Doom Guy of the Ultramarines. As he is connected to Titus.
Makes a lot of sense with his experience fighting Tyranids.
But otherwise that is where his lore goes out of the window.
I'm confused, do you mean Cato or Caedo
