Okay but having read the story he really does make it sound romantic
which is a bit-
LOL
makes sure boyfriend is safe at all times
make sure boyfriend is happy at all times
takes him out for dates (on battlefield)
makes dinner with him every night
Also some Sisters of Battle stuff is very trans / sapphic coded lmao
I forgot which author it was
one of them said on their public blog they were gonna make a trans sister iirc but it fell through
A trans imperial citizen named themselves are a famous sister, that was sweet
she tried including a f/f relationship as well but GW said and i quote
"They are nuns, they dont do that"
me looking at IRL nun relationships
đ
damn, no wonder I can't arson together with Argenta
But yah monks and nuns famously not homo ever
This tbh lol
Also apologizes for the grimdank
I just realised Nate Crowley also wrote the Twice King stuff
so I THINK he was just experimenting here
but like BRO
slugcat
Man I love when writers project their irl stuff into 40k characters
Except
When itâs like incel shit
Obv
you say this like making a straight incel a villain isn't funny as hell
HAVDHHAHDHS true
"I joined the police so I could legally carry"
favorite hobbies: Pointing guns at teenagers, murdering women, cabbages
what the bell is he from
Persona 4
Oh
he's just a straight up Incel who's a cop
Im starting at 2 damn
Havdjsbdkej
do you know who the final boss of 2 is?
becuase its a good suprise
I just started the game :3
Thanks!
Which persona 2 btw
Oh uh
the first one or the second one lmao
Innocent sin
ah
the first one
Yea itâs the one pirated obtained legally
Oh I got friends that ADORE Persona 2, they'd be happy to hear
:3 I love this fucking blue haired clown
He's great
I will say going from persona 2 to 3 is a shift
Since persona 3 has the social stuff added more heavily in it
I got 3 portable illegally but I might just get the remake idk
P3 remake does look good but I heard some of the writing changes are odd
Junpei going from a useless physical to an actual god
I know nothing of how the strength of characters have changed
Boy deserves it tbh
Itâs better imo
Reload fleshes out the male cast better
Since you have the hangout sessions with em
I watched my friend utterly obliterate the Strega duo fight in like 2/3 turns
Junpei is
Fucked lol
BIG HITS BIG CRITS
reload is def easier then persona 3 base
Koromaru, Junpei, Yukari is one of the best parties I think
Koromaru is here for Revolution
thats it

I had a friend point out a certain part where something was worded very weirdly in comparison to the original
Not surprised, thereâs some changes to how they localized some dialogue
Most of it sounds better though imo
Also this is in it
I do think another loss is how uh mean SEES are to each other initially
They get along better from the start
Ah damn that stinky
Also Fuuka being the best navigator by several miles
Ace Detective, more like Stupid f--
It seems I've been setting an unrealistic standard for myself to draw faces without references/tracing
Whoops 
I wonât know if this yukari is homophobic or not until I play the video
Same
The only thing persona 3 reload doesnât have
Is the strongest buff/debuff casting party member
Nocturne is a decent start
I've been putting it off for 13 years and I will put it off 13 more
I recommend going to the seven seas for that though since the steam version is uhhhhhhhh not good
Or at least not for the price
Is it psp?
PS2
Oof mine broke finally
Ooof
I was always mad at my mom growing up for not buying me a psp so I could play my niche anime games
Then I finally bought one for myself and all my niche anime games were discontinued
Feels bad man
Uh the guy who makes drones and got fired from Facebook for funding hate groups just released a new Gameboy and plans on re-releasing the entire catalogue
What a change in career
So you know if you have your eyes on any old Pokémon games
It's like $200 tho and limited edition
I have my eyes on investing in 2 different games that are probably going to crash and burn
Chromatic (the new Gameboy clone) and Pax Dei
I expect them both to fail but fuck I want them
Never heard of either
Pax Dei is a new MMO by some guys who worked on Eve
It did pretty well in alpha but the money side of things seems iffy, and some people who played alpha think they're releasing too early
Oo
The Chromatic might be a better investment because at least if that fails I get a cool shelf piece since a it's a physical console
Probably go with the former
You get that physical copy so you permanently have a piece of history on you
Lmao there aren't going to be physical copies of Pax Dei
Chromatic also has an entirely new tetris game that already released, it comes with the console, so even if it fails after the initial run there is at least something to play on it
I rewatched the trailer before going to bed and noticed the clipping. Oof. All of these customization screens look very rough. Reiver has two pauldrens that are exactly the same, both sniper and reiver have big clipping with their shoulder pads, the yellow one has a clipping kneepad, the shield is floating. I just hope this game is good man. But i still have that feeling that its just not going to be.
I do think Chromatic is the better gamble. If they do start re-releasing Nintendo games, I can rebuild my collection. I had to sell all the working games because broke.
I had Pokémon yellow man
And it still worked
And I had to sell it
So this may come as a shock
But space marines are pretty badly designed
Though I also wouldn't worry too much
It's likely an unfinished preview beta
I read yellow man as that Shrimp character from Smiling Friends
"How do I look, yel-low man?"
And considering last reveal there was nothing on customization you can assume it's one of the last things they're working on
Space Marines are hard to animate and I doubt anyone can do it perfectly. Even if you look at the original Space Marine, Titus' pauldrons do some weird shit
But yeah no that stinky bro
I think it's fine as long as it's not super noticeable during game play
SM1 proportions are also weird
Yeah ik but still, this is a trailer. You would expect these sort of amature mistakes to not be in mainline warhammer game.
Space Marine armor being all baroque and stuff helps distract from the fact that their armor makes literally 0 sense
No actually I'd expect worse
Also again, likely marketing trying what they can with the build they were given 
my question is
From a trailer? I expect the trailers to be the things that are lying to me. This looks too too real lol
why are the reivers so cheeked up
nah intercessors are the thiccy but they're afraid to show it
I aint gay but i also aint complaining
Do you think the emperor would strive for perfection in all things except his warriors' holy buttocks?
the clap of my dummy thicc genetically altered ass is attracting all the tyranids
titus help

Isn't Titus his last name? Does he have a first?
Don't think we know
His first name is Winston
Kyle Titus
Reivers suffer from the same problem with the mainline Primaris armor, aka no GW designer realised they literally got exposed fibre-clad asses lol
or like
as the trailer itself has shown
how their ass would be bare constantly when running and moving forward

Having the exposed butt with a plate to protect it is good armor design because it let's you move but damn is it distracting
I mean they have a little butt flap thing
no need for more protection with all that meat
yeah but it doesnt cover it
LMAO
Firstborn in comparison have armored-diaper armor
look at that box-ass
I forget what they're called because I've been consuming Odin's elixir but
Armor does generally have flaps of plate or leather that do not touch, but protect the thighs
The butt flap is the same idea
Armoured thigh highs
More like knee lows
It's connected to your torso and descends to cover the front of the thigh
the primaris butt-flap is small is the thing
it barely actually covers their ass
I feel like it's just GW going
Gotta show off what the emperor gave you i guess
"People realized our armor makes no sense, include more flexible pieces in the new design"
"Ok I will make the pauldrons smaller"
"You absolutely will fucking not"
the skinny jeans are a good look
The pauldrons are one of the most iconic parts of the armor
I dont think they even will change it nor do I want them too
Ok, yohan's trademark stupid questionâąïž
"If 40k had an equivalent to the internet. What would it look like?"
Noosphere
You guys been hearing about that rumor of how the 40K Amazon show might be shelved?
Nop
Just been seeing a headline floating around twitter
Ignore it
Oh yeah I imagine theyll jump on it
Just plain stupid really. Warhammer will not change for woke people, jesus christ
Its not surprising though; its just what people want to be outraged about
Holy shit this mod looks so awesome....
And Im not one to use unit mods....
Mechanicus Noosphere is the closest common equivelent, which is a mix between a hivemind(while in combat) and the internet/radio out of it
Have you witnessed the Space Marine 2 trailer with our boy TitASS
I larped as Ulgo for more than a thousand sentences i wrote... man i feel weird talking normaly
When did you start anyway?
they've been saying that since the show was just a rumor
The very start
Sheeeesh
now assume it's a rumour started by the chud crowd since they have a vested interest in it failing
I started ever since i showed up
I mean check how many times i said Ulgo
I'm checking and I only got 171 messages which doesn't seem right
Valid
Check again in general chat
Ulgo is messaged 1000+ times, assuming it's anyone saying it, putting it down to you it's about 78 for some reason man mobile kinda sucks
Regardless I believe you
Yeah
Kinda sad i stopped but its for my mental health. I wanna make real friends with my real personality
Yeah understandable
For a moment I was thinking you stopped because your Ulgo personality was taking over your life lmao
Ngl could have eventually if i continued but not the reason i stopped. But good thinkin
Ill prolly still larp in the art chat tho
Yeah just balance yourself buddy
Yeah that ill definitly do
I'm noticing it's really bad
Yup
they still havent fixed the fact that the search algorithm sucks ass too at looking for specific words
Mhmmm
Yes ;_;
Damn
Kinda lucky I've had like 3 phones within the past 5 years or so? From my first to this one which I really like
This phone was my first one
Probably will be my last too lmao (until programmed obsolence works its magic)
Probably for the best; phones are pretty addictive
Yeah. God damn to short videos. Cant watch the longer ones normaly now
I got a fun add on for my Ublock on my laptop that blocks most (if not all) shorts from showing up
Suuuuper nice
I also already have ADHD so like lmao
I'll procrastinate anyway! Shorts do nothing to my already stunted brain
I got ADHD too but i dont wanna end up like those brain rotted people
Same brother same
Ngl it's a bit scary to see how badly the next generation is doing on that front
Yeaaaaah
Thankfull that at least ill be cobtent with my life drawing and playing videogames all day
Dont get me wrong i also wanna do something with my life but its still very early to know what i wanna do
If you don't mind me asking, how old are ya?
LORD WOW YOU ARE YOUNG GOD DAMN
Damn an old fossile over here
Uughhh... please I'll fall apart at this rate....
Anyway yeah you really do have alot of time, but definitely keep that thought at the back of your mind. It'll be a blink and you'll suddenly be 25
đ
Yeah, i know i wont be as young forever
Sadly yeah
But in terms of what you wanna do, hoo man you got so much time to think about and where you wanna dip your toes into
True
Try different things, see what stick with ya, see what doesn't. I wanted to go into research and work in a lab, but now I'm working to be a medical lab technologist
Life does throw you curve balls in the weirdest ways sometimes
Yeah, i hated nature but now im thinking of getting myself a nice place. Is what i would say if the economy wasnt stepping on my throat
HAHA SAME!!
But hey, it happens. Itll get better
It always does brother
Even if it doesn't seem that way at the moment, it always does
The sole reason i havent off myself is that im very logical, things will get better, make most of it
Or do it to spite everyone or anything that you think is bringing you down, but either works
Exacly! Logic and spite works hand in hand
It's the perfect cocktail for life
Its like i say. If life shits on ya make some fertilizer
I am such a poet sometimes
just stay in shape and stop thinking you're old. zoomers dont understand this
it's a mentality thing
Im 19 and i feel old
I'm not a zoomer though!
26 is zoomer borderline
And I do go to the gym like twice a week, which isn't enough but you know
I'm pretty okay weight wise, probably a bit underweight but I'm better than months ago
More than me
but yeah the feeling old thing contributes to just being sad i feel
Im getting into drawing, so thats good
Romance can also be a factor but I think there's many that try to get around it via hobbies
learn an art and change that sadness into feelings of inferiority. works every time
I paint for fun and for myself and to show off
Post your pieces when you get them done pal đȘ
^^^
Will do pal
Man I want to return to digital art again
Meh, romance overrated. Friendship underrated
just look at what ed is doing. that madman
Doesnât gen z start in 1995 lol
True!!!!
i have bad news for you
I'd still like to have someone with me but I'm probably too immature emotionally
Lol
dont feel forced sex is overrated except i also need it to survive
I donât feel that old bcs Iâm only 21 lol
It really is tbh
True, someone to trust, to talk and understand you. I get ya man
Yeah man it's a great feeling also sex
I know but being understood is so much better... wont say no to sex tho
the cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems
Yeah it really is
The sex part or understanding part?
Ah, ye old "yes" choice
I'm quite the master of it
Im guessing master of sex đ
I WISH
I guessed wrong 
But yeah I gotta reprioritize other things in a relationship outside of the boom bang bop
Ayup. Passions great and all but its gotta have fuel for the fire
Mhmmm
Anyway have a nice night man
You as well brother
The first time I have ever seen ulgo not role-playing he was giving relationship advice
Yeah he first said he'd stop in ogryn chat because it was starting to mess with him mentally
I definitely got the role-playing tetris effect as a teen yeah
You can only spend so many hours in character before you forget how to be out of character
I just started rereading a 113,000 word fanfic from like 2013 because I thought it would be comforting đ
You doomed yourself
I've become the old Fandom nerd I wanted to be as a teen and hate it
Actually if you got the time to read something that long, you should read Umineko--
I don't think I could talk about umineko without calling the detective a slur
Ahhh she appears halfway through, you'll be good
Erica or whatever
Erika yuh
No I'm staying in my own lane of autism
And rereading my favorite homestuck fanfic by the woman who would become my favorite science fantasy author
Dammit....
It simply has a much better detective
I need others to be converted to my autism....
But I was just whining because all the paintings have a photo bucket watermark now
Hate how old internet stuff inherently degrades
Actually kind of the point; she's an awful detective and it's hilarious
No absolutely she deserves it
Oh no, in the context of what Umineko is talking about, it's the perfect kind of bad detective
I say this absolutely thinking Umineko is peak fiction (which it is)
Umineko is literally part of the same franchise as Higurashi
Like I usually don't speak poorly of other peoples interests but
That's just a fact
Yes and no?
Yes there's characters that make call backs but no it's not necessary to know anything of Higurashi before reading through Umineko
Also would recommend Higurashi but ah it has moments that put people off which I can understand
#fantasy #fiction #trope #writing #shorts
I wonder why heâs holding a custodyâŠ
Weird
||/j||
Am I allowed to say I want the skaven in 40k
You're allowed to, though I admit I personally don't really wanna see that since their niche would have to be rethought out
Lizardmen would be cool though
I say that because the skaven are my favorite part from warhammer fantasy
Oh they're great in fantasy
their might be an argument that the imperium just are the skaven of 40k but idk
They got the spirit tbh
Orks already take their place
They talk funny
They have tech that can be more advanced than anyone but can blow up
And the unstable loyalty
they were!
think they got squatted though
they were never
unless you count the huurd being more rat like initally
in which that case yeah Huurd got retcon'd into being weirder
It's a battle of the retcons in this rat race of a universe! Heheh. See, the Hrud used to be rat people, which is why that's funny. hehehehe. Sometimes I amuse even myself.
BUT ENOUGH OF THAT! See their conflict unfold in this latesta and greatest entry in the Warhammer 40k meme dub cinematic universe. Space Skaven vs Shadow Monster Men.
Imper...
yeah the hrud
would be cool to see them as a tau auxiliary
Hrud don't really = Skaven anymore
I'd like space skaven, but you also have to realize the skavens popularity skyrocketed with vermintide
~~skaven also were horribly unfun to play as ~~
Before that they weren't super popular
unless you really like RNG
in which that case
yes skaven
AoS is worse since you can no longer kill over 1k points of your army turn 1 as skaven with a single bad roll
or you like having half your army disintegrate the second your opponent puts up a fight
smh GW taking away skaven players right to kill their own army
I'll put it like this: I'd like space skaven, but I also don't think there's room for them
how much do you think is a good chance that an old skaven player would pick an ork in 40k
not chaotic enough
even at orks most chaotic
Skaven guns all exploded on 1's at least
not really comparable
from both being RNG shitstorms sure ig?
Orks play very differently
but not really
yeah 40k orks are dif
either way GW should let skaven misfire warplightning cannons into their own army again
so you can get a perfect misfire through a bunch of your clan rats or skaven slaves at once
fartshart pls add misfires into vt2
now that i think about it old warhammer fantasy had a lot of rng like you roll low in this guy you die
That weak spot mechanic is a bit fucky
Empire artillery was a fun ride lmao
I will STAY hating on the end times
Ordertide canon ending
Apparently assassination can beat anti assassination armor

because of a door
Nah I'm right smh
I don't even play AoS the most lol
I play 40k the most
but imo AoS plays the best
Like they are so bland that the only saving grace they had was the characters
The gobbos more than made up for it
Aos you have picks
The joke is that he continued to cook and became a master chef
absolute street creatures
Yeah but in AOS they are solo and they can actually hold their own in battle \
bloodbowl goblins
have sick armor lol
i mean blood bowl is just a mixture of medieval armor with football armor
there's one I haven't seen in either AoS or WHF for goblins
If they kept the setting and general movement of WHFB and the mechanics of aos itâd be peak
it looks almost like chaos warrior armor
I think I just described the old world
No
Old World plays like WHFB still
its just less shit
AoS imo is a good setting
its just different
Yeah and people keep blaming it for old world disappearing
The game was literally failing and people said that it's gonna kick the bucket soon
tbf WHFB was going to die
yeah
especially when GW was looking to like
and then people are surprised they ended the setting
downsize
look Iâm just happy I can use my box of Warlord Games Pike and Shotte minis as an Empire army
cities of sigma
yeah Iâve put them on square bases
the cities of sigmar male
Cities of Sigmar being told that an entire crusade has been horrifically torn apart and murdered and then immedietly deciding to send another crusade
yeah but can they summon the elector counts
Yes(some)
this is important info
Hammerhal has a system like the elector counts
but are they the elector counts
they get called Elector Counts in AoS 2.0
idk about 3.0
I've never seen the Cities of sigmar 3.0 book
yeah old warhammer factions are still a thing back in the day like the Greenskinz
Replace the S in the end with Z
WFRP 2e is still great
so is Ogor
But there's no point in complaining about that
Ogor is less shit tbh
Trying to put together a campaign set in Bretonnia for some of my friends
Aelf is fine
its used in stuff outside of AoS
Duradin is Meh
Idk why they didn't just use Dawi
orruk
morruk
gorruk
It involves folk dancing, cults, and really hot shoes
thank god its not Gorruk
yeah like they could have also just called Urk
Yeah like dwarves
Oruk also would be fine tbh
Yeah they went through the pronunciation translated into spelling approach
i mean
Fyre Slayers
fire
Fyre
GW really likes to replace i with y
Ogors
This is a myth. All of GWâs games were failing (even 40K) at the time, but they had made 8th ed Fantasy especially hard to get into in their own design
8th also changed army composition for too many people while requiring bloated units compared to previous
Ironically 8th apparently ended up as a reasonably balanced game for matched/tournament play
yeah heard that warhammer fantasy was notorious for balancing
Some of the stuff did not work well
This was during 7th, when Daemons were released
The book was just so overpowered, that it made the previous High and Dark elf books in 7th (the previous champions) look like toddlers
The four chaos god factions
I cannot imagine
They were powerful but also undercosted
So like they can have a super unit that is apparently pretty cheap for what it can do
like a bloodthirster or some shit
I think people could run bloodletters like goblins
Or at least cheap enough that you could spam them against units they outclassed
And they had really strong magic
I would wager they had like three types of magic
nurgle slannesh and tzeentch
Yeah, I think because also horrors could become defacto wizards?
Which meant they could outmuscle the magic phase, where other armies are limited by their character allowance
So people could genuinely put in a decent amount of investment into an army of them and basically become unstoppable
They started a lot of power creep in 7th, where High, Dark Elves and Vampire counts were each getting successively better but Daemons was like pushing it over a cliff
Pretty much, apparently you could tailor a Dark Elf army to beat them
40K had problems too, though they didnât have an egregious codex
I would say 40K had worse core rules but the codices were better balanced
around 8th FB and 6th-7th 40k, I saw a load of the GW scene shrink in both games
FB was affected more badly, but on the whole it was more of the canary in the mine
The Eisenhorn show from like 7 years ago was a rumour
But they've made a warcom article about their new deal with Amazon so we can be comfy in that it's real
The Eisenhorn show was planned but COVID fucked stuff up and now things have been arranged with Amazon now.
Whether or not they do Eisenhorn idk but I wouldnât be shocked if it is the first thing they do or a follow up if the first is a hit.
Does the guard have JAGs or is that what commissars are
JAG?
iirc they do have tribunals but idk if lawyers are something the imperium has
Prolly just commissars
Youâd think they would since authoritarian governments usually have pretty detailed laws
seeing as civilian court cases literally last generations i doubt they have representatives
I know there's a short story where a Fighter Pilot is put on trail for disobeying orders, but I've not read it yet so I don't know the details of the trial
its likely all self representation
It's called "The Trial of Lucille Von Shard"
which just makes the whole law system of the imperium that much more unfair and grimdark
Then how are the laws supposed to be applied? I doubt the average officer knows how to conduct a case as advocate or decision maker
Via bolt pistol
Commissars a lot of the time are expected to act as judge, jury and executioner.
yeah
Weâll just judge and executioner since military justice wouldnât use a jury
and because they are typically witness to the crime being committed, the execution is often summary
the average grunt will ether get put into a penal regiment or executed on the spot
very detailed. too detailed
How so? Sometimes too much detail is a good thing like if an offence has a very detailed set of requirements to make out a contravention then itâs harder for someone to be found liable/guilty
imagine a 50k page book written across 10 000 years that contains laws that are all still in effect
now memorize it
Reminds me of tax law haha
yes
except it's tax law of 10k years of bureaucracy and religious zealotry and authoritarianism piled on top
But do you mean detailed as in they have a lot of different provisions or that the provisions themselves are bloated and difficult to apply
If thatâs something the writers would even go into lol
Iâm sure they have enough technology that they donât have to memorise it. Lawyers today arenât expected to know everything off by heart because of you just know what to look for then you can find anything
in the 32nd millenium, this situation was resolved in this specific way. it is written on page 5358. You're now in a simiar situation. how do you know you're supposed to apply the same ruling that happened 9k years ago if you dont know it's written there in the book?
technology is a funny thing in warhammer
They donât have database searches?
Like thatâs actually similar to how it is in real life, you wonât know which page of which report the precedent is found in but you would just do a database search to find it
not hand held at least
computers are largely done through servitors and those aren't really compact
Oh ok
some adeptus arbite nerd could jump in and correct my mistakes
the brand of the imperium also seems to be that things are always buried under mountains of other things and promptly forgotten, would probably take a cogitator complex the size of a hive to store the major imperium laws alone, not counting local stuff
remember, a million worlds
So what was the lore explanation for catachans just being so meaty and huge? Even for the women among them?
It's basically the Hard times create strong men meme
and because you live on Catachan it's always hard times
^
Evolutionarily it doesnt make any sense but their lore is form the 90's so like lol
Yea, it's the original GW nerds not understanding how science works and just doing things they think looks cool.
Like the Ogryns are giants because they lived on worlds with massive amounts of gravity and grew big and strong to compensate, even though Scientifically higher gravity would create smaller people.
AI and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Is that Timmy Chalomy?
why does youtube keep recommending me this stuff
Idk when I watch something the 3rd recommended video is always some AI generated song
Found the hotshot laspistol btw
tesla was right
hey its paul atreides
this mechanical horrors are in deed beyond my comprehension
Sisters detachments are out
Congrats girls, we've got possibly the worst detachment rule in 10th edition.
Main problem with Acts of Faith in 10th edition, not enough miracle dice to use Acts of Faith. So yes obviously the fix is to make a detachment which lets you use Acts of Faith twice.
They described this as the Seraphim themed detachment, but it's rule is nothing to do with Seraphim
can you send me a link
I was expecting them to be all bad but im holding out hope for the holy trinity detachment
also I didnt read my rules and didnt realize you could only do one per phase and actually cheated in my last game
I used 2 6s I had for my castigator to invuln save some massive Necron shooting
Why isn't it sending the images 
Assault on every ranged weapon and +1 Strength within 12 inches
are they as atrocious as custodes
Yee
Prepare for Assault Paragon Warsuits
I actually love this
a not bad detachment rule
im so happy xD
Give rapid fire bolters sustained hits, they are actually trying to make bolters good haha
thats actually a great enhancement for the canoness who allows reroll hit rolls
a BSS squad with canoness actually has pretty decent shooting
Penitent detachment also seems alright but I don't think as good
Its gonna be sad to give up the Blade of St Eleyanor tho
But yea, I'm not a fan of the Army of Faith rule at all
I actually think this might be the best detachment at first glance
Unless they remove FNP from the arco flagellents
But it's geared for Penitent models, so it's very list dependent
yea but the highest placing sisters list are all running
3x max size arco
because they are just that good
even at 160 points
Sure, but I don't wanna do that
me neither, I hate htem
give them to admech
they can use them way better anyway xD
Like the only penitent models I have are the ones you get from the old Combat Patrol
the fight on death mechanic is actually REALLY good for penitent engines
they are really cheap for how hard they hit, so having a way of mitigating their squishiness is big
I hate the penitent side aesthetically though so
yea I only have 6 arcos and 2 engines from 2 combat patrols xD
But a full melee army of 3x arcos, 3x repentia, 2x3 penitent engines sounds pretty funny
and the BSS will still be really good in that army because they are fantastic battle line units for sitting on objectives
if they dont rework arco flaggelents this will be the strongest sisters list for sure
I'm still not a big fan of it
3 vows, one per round and you can only use each vow once. With 5 rounds in game it means you've only got your army rule in the first 3 rounds
70 sustained hits, twin linked, 5+ crits, str 6 on the charge
from one unit
that has a FNP 5+
its like WAAGH for orks
the turn you pop this you can get 210 attacks from 480 points of arcos
any thing that isnt toughness 13 is dead
Either way its better than I was expecting so...
Penitent is good, just not a fan of it for the style of army I have/want, Army of Faith looks like a bit of a stinker, but Bringers of Flame seems pretty perfect
I honestly kind of have hope for Army of Faith, but it will be hard to play
I just don't like the detachment rule
they have an enhancement and a stratagem that generate an extra faith dice, but tbh BSS already generate a TON of miracle dice if they are the core of the army
there are a lot of tricks to get more/reroll the dice for better value
if you are running a really wide list with a focus on battle sisters and characters you should be able to get good value from the army rule
bring two castigators to spend your miracle dice on
I still don't like it
I'm really not a fan of the design philosophy where instead of it giving you anything new or fun to reshape how you'd play, it's just "Do the thing one extra time."
I always talk about rules here
Had any of the new codexes have new lore?
I think so
Pretty sure
Although I've heard that they're apparently rehashing the same Sororitas organisation chart from the 9th edition Codex for the 10th
They have some lore, but not as much as 9th or 8th
Is this for the new trench crusade game?
no
Oh
its 40k rules
Neat
So, what are the reasons that Bhrams allows us on her ship?
Grendyl told her to, so she kind of has to just have Grendyl's forces on board
Shes a rogue trader, she doesnt have to listen
Huh
Rogue Trader aren't immune to law, they just have a paper that give them a lot of leeway, if for example Grendyl has proofs that the scripts is a fake or that she has previously broken a rule he could use that to blackmail her
The warrant doesn't mean much if she's excommunicated basically lel
Most of the time it isn't worth pushing since they're typically pretty useful/influential
But if you're declared a traitor, you're a traitor regardless of how big your coffers are
expect 80% recycles with like 20% new lore
the inquisition can make anyone do anything lol
Itâs the number 1 thing I want GW to improve on with new codexes and I hope they have plans to adjust the lore weâre getting
real
god please just give us 8e level lore again
I don't even care if they reuse stuff
I loved the big chunky lore sections
Neat
Do Astartes ever accept lands and titles for their deeds like old knights, or are they too high and mighty and monastic for such things as Dukedom or such?
Individuals can get titles and rewards. Entire planets can be gifted to a chapter as a recruiting world
But they wonât have individual like
So Astartes Knight Nukeem can be Duke Nukeem and be awarded his own planet with a Sororitas convent?
Lands and such
No
The titles arenât like
That sort of title
Itâs more so in celebration of their deeds rather then some noble title
And regarding planets it goes to the entire chapter
damn
Pretty sure Ultramarines have certain Marines who basically act as like Planetary governors in Ultramar
Yeah, isnt Cato Sicarius a suzerain or something
He's High Suzerain of Ultramar, but that's just an honorific
This is after guilliman came back but yeah
Can space marines survive headshots when not wearing a helmet?
Certain weapons obviously would still 1 shot but surely they can survive some?
They can survive some weapons headshotting yeah
I saw an excerpt when I was looking up the answer to this and a marine died to a wooden spear to the throat by some normal guy đ
Writer determines what kills a marine fr fr
Yeah, like so many other things in 40k I find
But it like pierced something important iirc lol
Which is why he bled out
Also it was a chaosy stick
From a chaosy guy
Ohh that makes more sense
But yeah it was both unlucky as hell
Depends on the writer. Also a normal person has a higher chance of surviving a head injury than a spear to the throat
I read that and was like "...that's kinda pathetic, Cawl."
He got those parts pierced
Itâs 30k
When that happens
Cawl was still in a vat prolly lol
Or was a sperm and egg lol
Ohh so that was unrefined marines before Cawl as well, makes even more sense
Well
Wouldnât say unrefined
But the furnace def would have saved the marine lol
Ironically
But yeah the guy got supreme unlucky
I don't know a whole lot about what Cawl made better with marines, I still gotta finish the first book đ
Itâs just a random freak accident
Itâs not complicated
Even in the book they say that
Cawl was alive during the heresy crazily enough
He was alive during the heresy
But that scene was early great crusade
Iirc
Cawl wouldnât have been born yet
No idea, they always just said he was born in the "early 31st millenium" and was an adult by the time of the heresy. You're prob right tbh.
Dude came out the vat womb being able to speak
Maybe not the main mind
well obv

I'm referring to the person called Belisarius Cawl
not the many minds that now make him up lol
Man I love the chaos Admech designs in rogue trader
Also I'm convinced area attacks might be bugged
Either that or I'm extremely unlucky
They can definitely act a little weird and unexplainably not work sometimes
It's okay, lidless stare still best ability in the game 
Yeah lol
And the similar ability you get for sacrificing Yrilet that scales with veil degradation
I don't fw veil degradation
One time veil was at 0 and Idira killed herself and spawned a blue screamer of Tzeentch using one of her minor abilities
In our backline xd
Round 1 as well, even better
What
heretic route gaming
I did iconoclast. I tried starting up a heretic route and I just couldnât make myself do it. Itâs too evil for me
Yea personally iconoclast (with a bit of dogmatic) is THE canon route for me
Icono + dogmatic or dogmatic + icono is good
full dogmatic is evil, Full heretic is evil, full icono is stupid
Yea i dont like how full icono has to have some truly stupid choices, but alas thats how it is with everything
I still wanna run full icono and see the ending slides tho
i go fulll icono too purely spite the imperium
||and hey you turn the entire expanse into your own empire||
I think i was icono 4 and had my own empire, but only Idira, Pasqal, and the ship part vendor got good ending
And SistarArgenta and Abelard too, forgot to mention
Yeah thats why i mention them, i was going for Heinrix by chance but let him go at the end
yeah if you help them do the right thing they live fairly well
like yriellet realizing her empire and people can just as savage as humans
if not more so
so she became a pirate
My run Yrliet got Pasqal'd later
Heinrix got Argenta'd, Cassia got assasinated, Jae got destroyed by another rogue trader, Marazhai got sold to the inquisition
I still dragged his ass along regardless, and became neutral with Janus exodites
yeah
I didnt manage to free Ulfar because i didnt know how
But I've been going on the pure morality scale I would say iconoclast is the most safe
Like if you're going pure this iconoclast is the least painful because you actually go out of your way to help
I think you can also remain ally with Marazhai that way and stop his drukhari from attacking your people
But blood debt needed to be paid and i was petty enough to sick Heinrix on him as soon as i got back
what do you mean you know
Are you assuming just because he's a dark elder known for their cruelty he's a bad guy
Oh yea hes still a dark eldar and your mercy to him means sacrificing your crew menials
i'm just ******* with you i always kill him when i have the choice
He asked me if he could skin my menials alive smh
yeah wait isn't one of the things we find around are multiple soul stones lying around
It can't be that hard to put a soul into a soul stone and give one to him
I wanna go a "good ending for everyone" route, with the help of toybox
do it
If you beat the game the first time I don't see why not
Solely because i wanna see what a full good ending looks like
I also think some good endings are locked behind romance, like Heinrix
And Jae
And possibly Yrliet
oh no Yrielet is basically one of the rare cases of a human being as close as possible to being a friend with an eldar
I feel like the "chaos scattering the primarcs" thing is bullshit
because the love between an eldar and a human
Yeah, but im talking about "romance" as a route rather than actual romance
Eldar loving humans must be borderline bestiality for em
I have no idea how my companions haven't abandoned me yet because I'm on the path of becoming a literal chaos worshiper
oh no they will understand friend zone and actually still get a happy ending like baldurs gate
if a privateer that has access to multiple planets rejects you you accept the rejection
Ok actual question. What happens in the chaos ending of rouge trader
If their actually is one
Like do you just form a chaos enclave within the imperium or something?
You ascend to become a daemon prince
I guess it was wise of me to avoid romance in this play through
Because that would be borderline horrific to witness
I think it would be funny with marazhai
Hehe haha and suddenly the monkeigh turns into a daemon prince
Is the god emperor (blessed be his name) truly dead/dying?
He's a regenerating soul then?
His soul isn't regenerating as far as we know
his soul is horribly fractured
his body is pretty much dead
but he is still alive
If he isn't dead. Them how would he feel about the imperium
unclear
we don't get his perspective
we have him talk with Guilliman for a bit
but its so jumbled, self contradictary and fragmented its hard to like
get anything meaningful from it
So it is unclear if there is hope for mankind
Well
We know how 40k is going to end
Humanity is going to fucking die
Or rather the imperium is
Yeah even with the two sons of the emperor alive there is no way they can stitch the imperium together into a coherent empire
Every faction* losses then
beyond that there are visions of the future
*faction, not race
well Chaos/nids/Orks/Necrons will prolly win
There's a lot of visions of the future but the consistent thing is Terra is going to fall at somepoint
It's only the orks who won't get a pyrrythic victory out of this
They already won
They already one
orks are in a galaxy already full of battle what more can they ask for
They will fissle from existence the moment this war ends
Yeah you can maintain them by doing things like tributes and stuff like for example
Battle arenas in every single planet for khorne
Chaos can sustain itself so long as there's mortals
though it will be diminished if it kills a ton
What would the galaxy look like after a chaos victory anyway
The 4 chaos god's proceed to kill each other
Nihlus chaos empires
oh yeah thats a thing now
lol
Imperium nihlus is like genuinely fucked at this rate
So my wish of chaos states came true?
That's the very bad side moro refers to yeah
Yes!
Notable Chaos Empires are Lorgar's, Perturabo's and The Red Corsairs
đ
Perturabo's did however get invaded by the Death Guard with morty
and uh Perty unfortunately lost
Wait why is abbadon not a undivided daemon prince
Same with archeon and fantasy seems a bit weird
reasoning for Abbadon is because its better for him to be a mortal
daemon princes can't stay in real space forever
they need an active warp breach every once in a while
Less then normal daemons but still need it
Abby can stay in real space as long as he likes
Then make him a chaos swap amulet warp or some s***
I got no clue for Archeon
I'd assume its the same
Also don't want another belakor
Abbadon and Archeon are both ambitious
Yeah but with archeon don't daemon princess have the ability to just kind of stay in the warhammer world
In fantasy i mean
It's a bit weird yeah like
