senile grandfather

#

at least to me

storm jungle
#

Okay but having read the story he really does make it sound romantic

#

which is a bit-

arctic talon
#

LOL

storm jungle
#

he even says some shit like

#

"Do you love me?"

#

and Obyron is like "WHA-"

arctic talon
#

I have brain rot

rose thorn
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

snow fern
#

A trans imperial citizen named themselves are a famous sister, that was sweet

storm jungle
#

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

#

💀

snow fern
#

damn, no wonder I can't arson together with Argenta

#

But yah monks and nuns famously not homo ever

storm jungle
rose thorn
#

Also apologizes for the grimdank

storm jungle
#

I just realised Nate Crowley also wrote the Twice King stuff

#

so I THINK he was just experimenting here

#

but like BRO

rose thorn

#

Man I love when writers project their irl stuff into 40k characters

#

Except

#

When it’s like incel shit

#

Obv

arctic talon
#

you say this like making a straight incel a villain isn't funny as hell

sacred ginkgo
#

Damnit

#

Faster than me

arctic talon
#

LOL

#

Adachi's motivations being "I hate women and I'm bored" goes crazy

sacred ginkgo
#

"I joined the police so I could legally carry"

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

ZoffyStare what the bell is he from

arctic talon
#

Persona 4

rose thorn
#

Oh

arctic talon
#

he's just a straight up Incel who's a cop

rose thorn
#

Im starting at 2 damn

arctic talon
#

well

#

he's pretty obvious imo

#

he says some very sussy things early game

rose thorn
#

Havdjsbdkej

arctic talon
#

becuase its a good suprise

rose thorn
#

I just started the game :3

arctic talon
#

alr

#

have fun

rose thorn
#

Thanks!

arctic talon
#

Which persona 2 btw

rose thorn
#

Oh uh

arctic talon
#

the first one or the second one lmao

rose thorn
#

Innocent sin

arctic talon
#

ah

arctic talon
#

the first one

rose thorn
#

Yea it’s the one pirated obtained legally

arctic talon
#

do not buy it legally lmao

#

that shit costs so much

rose thorn
#

I KNOW

#

I was gonna start with 1 but I heard it’s a slog

arctic talon
#

Persona 1 goes straight ass

#

Persona 2 onwards good

outer wave
arctic talon
#

Persona 3 is my favorite of the bunch

#

but thats bcs its the first one I played lol

rose thorn
outer wave
#

He's great

arctic talon
#

I will say going from persona 2 to 3 is a shift

#

Since persona 3 has the social stuff added more heavily in it

rose thorn
#

I got 3 portable illegally but I might just get the remake idk

outer wave
#

P3 remake does look good but I heard some of the writing changes are odd

crystal forum
#

shazam

#

one of you is in love with an ogryn now

sacred ginkgo
outer wave
#

I know nothing of how the strength of characters have changed

sacred ginkgo
#

Junpei has an actually fucked crit chance in P3R

#

Its insane

outer wave
#

Boy deserves it tbh

arctic talon
#

Reload fleshes out the male cast better

#

Since you have the hangout sessions with em

sacred ginkgo
arctic talon
#

Junpei is

#

Fucked lol

#

BIG HITS BIG CRITS

#

reload is def easier then persona 3 base

sacred ginkgo
#

Koromaru, Junpei, Yukari is one of the best parties I think

#

Koromaru is here for Revolution

#

thats it

arctic talon
#

Yukari is insane lol

#

She is by far the strongest healer in persona

#

Ever made

sacred ginkgo
#

75% cost salvation

#

And theurgy

arctic talon
outer wave
arctic talon
#

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

outer wave
#

Ah damn that stinky

sacred ginkgo
#

Also Fuuka being the best navigator by several miles

outer wave
green loom
#

It seems I've been setting an unrealistic standard for myself to draw faces without references/tracing

#

Whoops smilecat

arctic talon
outer wave
#

Same

arctic talon
#

The only thing persona 3 reload doesn’t have

#

Is the strongest buff/debuff casting party member

crisp heath
#

I always meant to get into Shin Megami Tensei but like

#

There's a lot

outer wave
#

Nocturne is a decent start

crisp heath
#

I've been putting it off for 13 years and I will put it off 13 more

outer wave
#

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

crisp heath
#

Is it psp?

outer wave
#

PS2

crisp heath
#

Oof mine broke finally

outer wave
#

Ooof

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

Mood

#

Least we got emulators

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

What a change in career

crisp heath
#

So you know if you have your eyes on any old Pokémon games

#

It's like $200 tho and limited edition

outer wave
#

Ew

#

Least its not like Rule of Rose

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

Never heard of either

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

Oo

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

Probably go with the former

#

You get that physical copy so you permanently have a piece of history on you

crisp heath
#

Lmao there aren't going to be physical copies of Pax Dei

outer wave
#

Yuh

#

Chromatic sounds relatively better

crisp heath
#

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

wintry scarab
#

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.

crisp heath
#

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

green loom
#

But space marines are pretty badly designed

#

Though I also wouldn't worry too much

#

It's likely an unfinished preview beta

outer wave
#

"How do I look, yel-low man?"

green loom
#

And considering last reveal there was nothing on customization you can assume it's one of the last things they're working on

crisp heath
outer wave
#

But yeah no that stinky bro

crisp heath
#

I think it's fine as long as it's not super noticeable during game play

green loom
#

SM1 proportions are also weird

wintry scarab
crisp heath
#

Space Marine armor being all baroque and stuff helps distract from the fact that their armor makes literally 0 sense

green loom
#

Also again, likely marketing trying what they can with the build they were given smilecat

gray umbra
#

my question is

wintry scarab
gray umbra
#

why are the reivers so cheeked up

green loom
#

They're all cheeked up

#

Have you looked at intercessors?

outer wave
#

They're humanity's best

#

Of course they gotta be cheeked up

gray umbra
#

nah intercessors are the thiccy but they're afraid to show it

wintry scarab
crisp heath
gray umbra
#

the clap of my dummy thicc genetically altered ass is attracting all the tyranids

#

titus help

green loom
#

Titus

#

Tight-us

#

Tight-*ss

gray umbra
crisp heath
#

Isn't Titus his last name? Does he have a first?

green loom
#

Don't think we know

outer wave
#

His first name is Winston

crisp heath
#

Kyle Titus

storm jungle
#

or like

#

as the trailer itself has shown

#

how their ass would be bare constantly when running and moving forward

crisp heath
#

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

wintry scarab
#

I mean they have a little butt flap thing

gray umbra
#

no need for more protection with all that meat

storm jungle
#

yeah but it doesnt cover it

#

LMAO

#

Firstborn in comparison have armored-diaper armor

#

look at that box-ass

crisp heath
#

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

green loom
#

Armoured thigh highs

crisp heath
#

More like knee lows

#

It's connected to your torso and descends to cover the front of the thigh

storm jungle
#

it barely actually covers their ass

crisp heath
#

I feel like it's just GW going

wintry scarab
#

Gotta show off what the emperor gave you i guess

crisp heath
#

"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"

gray umbra
#

the skinny jeans are a good look

vast crystal
#

I dont think they even will change it nor do I want them too

#

Ok, yohan's trademark stupid questionâ„ąïž

"If 40k had an equivalent to the internet. What would it look like?"

crisp heath
#

Noosphere

outer wave
#

You guys been hearing about that rumor of how the 40K Amazon show might be shelved?

green loom
#

Nop

outer wave
#

Just been seeing a headline floating around twitter

green loom
#

Twitter
Ignore it

outer wave
#

I know I know

#

Its also a rumor so doesnt help anyone

green loom
#

Chances are it's one of the grifters lmao

#

"Woke agenda cancelling Warhammer????!"

outer wave
#

Oh yeah I imagine theyll jump on it

river walrus

#

Its not surprising though; its just what people want to be outraged about

Holy shit this mod looks so awesome....

I larped as Ulgo for more than a thousand sentences i wrote... man i feel weird talking normaly

outer wave
#

When did you start anyway?

crystal forum
river walrus
#

The very start

outer wave
#

Sheeeesh

crystal forum
#

now assume it's a rumour started by the chud crowd since they have a vested interest in it failing

river walrus
#

I mean check how many times i said Ulgo

outer wave
#

I'm checking and I only got 171 messages which doesn't seem right

river walrus
outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

Yeah

#

Kinda sad i stopped but its for my mental health. I wanna make real friends with my real personality

outer wave
#

Yeah understandable

#

For a moment I was thinking you stopped because your Ulgo personality was taking over your life lmao

river walrus
#

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

outer wave
#

Yeah just balance yourself buddy

river walrus
#

Yeah that ill definitly do

crystal forum
#

yeah they gutted mobile

#

can't even fucking search properly anymore

outer wave
#

I'm noticing it's really bad

river walrus
#

Yup

crystal forum
#

they still havent fixed the fact that the search algorithm sucks ass too at looking for specific words

outer wave
#

Mhmmm

river walrus
#

Yup

#

Specialy when your phone is from 2018

outer wave
#

Oh god

#

Is it that bad for 6 year old phones?

river walrus
#

Yes ;_;

outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

This phone was my first one

#

Probably will be my last too lmao (until programmed obsolence works its magic)

outer wave
#

Probably for the best; phones are pretty addictive

river walrus
#

Yeah. God damn to short videos. Cant watch the longer ones normaly now

outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

I got ADHD too but i dont wanna end up like those brain rotted people

outer wave
#

Same brother same

#

Ngl it's a bit scary to see how badly the next generation is doing on that front

river walrus
#

I feel bad for them

#

Just imagine

#

One year later and i would be like them

outer wave
#

Yeaaaaah

river walrus
#

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

outer wave
#

If you don't mind me asking, how old are ya?

river walrus
#

19

#

I dont mind

outer wave
#

LORD WOW YOU ARE YOUNG GOD DAMN

river walrus
#

I know

#

I get that reaction frequently

outer wave
#

I feel so ancient in comparison Jesus where the years go

#

I'm 26

river walrus
#

Damn an old fossile over here

outer wave
#

Uughhh... please I'll fall apart at this rate....

arctic talon
#

You’ll be fine

#

Lol

outer wave
#

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

#

😔

river walrus
#

Yeah, i know i wont be as young forever

outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

True

outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

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

outer wave
#

HAHA SAME!!

river walrus
#

But hey, it happens. Itll get better

outer wave
#

It always does brother

#

Even if it doesn't seem that way at the moment, it always does

river walrus
#

The sole reason i havent off myself is that im very logical, things will get better, make most of it

outer wave
#

Or do it to spite everyone or anything that you think is bringing you down, but either works

river walrus
#

Exacly! Logic and spite works hand in hand

outer wave
#

It's the perfect cocktail for life

river walrus
#

Its like i say. If life shits on ya make some fertilizer

#

I am such a poet sometimes

crystal forum
#

just stay in shape and stop thinking you're old. zoomers dont understand this

#

it's a mentality thing

river walrus
#

Im 19 and i feel old

outer wave
#

I'm not a zoomer though!

crystal forum
#

26 is zoomer borderline

outer wave
#

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

river walrus
#

More than me

crystal forum
#

but yeah the feeling old thing contributes to just being sad i feel

outer wave
#

It's a major component

#

Especially when you may not have a lot of hobbies

river walrus
#

Im getting into drawing, so thats good

outer wave
#

Romance can also be a factor but I think there's many that try to get around it via hobbies

crystal forum
#

learn an art and change that sadness into feelings of inferiority. works every time

outer wave
#

I paint for fun and for myself and to show off

I don’t feel that old bcs I’m only 21 lol

river walrus
outer wave
#

Yeah man it's a great feeling also sex

river walrus
#

I know but being understood is so much better... wont say no to sex tho

crystal forum
#

the cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems

river walrus
#

The sex part or understanding part?

outer wave
#

... Yes

#

No the understanding part

river walrus
#

Ah, ye old "yes" choice

outer wave
#

I'm quite the master of it

river walrus
#

Im guessing master of sex 😏

outer wave
#

I WISH

river walrus
#

I guessed wrong Sitgryn

outer wave
#

But yeah I gotta reprioritize other things in a relationship outside of the boom bang bop

river walrus
#

Ayup. Passions great and all but its gotta have fuel for the fire

outer wave
#

Mhmmm

river walrus
#

Anyway have a nice night man

outer wave
#

You as well brother

crystal forum
#

or so i've been told

#

teehee

crisp heath
#

The first time I have ever seen ulgo not role-playing he was giving relationship advice

outer wave
#

Yeah he first said he'd stop in ogryn chat because it was starting to mess with him mentally

crisp heath
#

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

chilly palm
#

fellow young people in chat

crisp heath
#

I just started rereading a 113,000 word fanfic from like 2013 because I thought it would be comforting 😭

outer wave
#

You doomed yourself

crisp heath
#

I've become the old Fandom nerd I wanted to be as a teen and hate it

outer wave
#

Actually if you got the time to read something that long, you should read Umineko--

crisp heath
#

I don't think I could talk about umineko without calling the detective a slur

outer wave
#

Ahhh she appears halfway through, you'll be good

crisp heath
#

Erica or whatever

outer wave
#

Erika yuh

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

Dammit....

crisp heath
#

It simply has a much better detective

outer wave
#

I need others to be converted to my autism....

crisp heath
#

But I was just whining because all the paintings have a photo bucket watermark now

#

Hate how old internet stuff inherently degrades

outer wave
crisp heath
#

Unfortunately, Terezi owns

#

So Erika can eat crow

outer wave
#

No absolutely she deserves it

crisp heath
#

She's not even good at being a bad detective

#

Terezi is a better bad detective

outer wave
#

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)

crisp heath
#

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

outer wave
#

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

rose thorn
#

I wonder why he’s holding a custody


#

Weird

vast crystal
#

Am I allowed to say I want the skaven in 40k

outer wave
#

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

vast crystal
#

I say that because the skaven are my favorite part from warhammer fantasy

outer wave
#

Oh they're great in fantasy

vast crystal
#

their might be an argument that the imperium just are the skaven of 40k but idk

outer wave
#

They got the spirit tbh

queen laurel
#

They talk funny

#

They have tech that can be more advanced than anyone but can blow up

#

And the unstable loyalty

crisp heath
#

think they got squatted though

arctic talon
#

unless you count the huurd being more rat like initally

#

in which that case yeah Huurd got retcon'd into being weirder

queen laurel
# arctic talon 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...

▶ Play video
arctic talon
crisp heath
#

yeah the hrud

#

would be cool to see them as a tau auxiliary

#

Hrud don't really = Skaven anymore

arctic talon
#

well

#

the Hrud don't get along with anyone

crisp heath
#

I'd like space skaven, but you also have to realize the skavens popularity skyrocketed with vermintide

arctic talon
#

~~skaven also were horribly unfun to play as ~~

crisp heath
#

Before that they weren't super popular

arctic talon
#

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

crisp heath
#

or you like having half your army disintegrate the second your opponent puts up a fight

arctic talon
#

smh GW taking away skaven players right to kill their own army

crisp heath
#

I'll put it like this: I'd like space skaven, but I also don't think there's room for them

arctic talon
#

you can still shoot into fighting skaven though lmao

#

every 1 = you shoot a rat

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

not chaotic enough

#

even at orks most chaotic

#

Skaven guns all exploded on 1's at least

arctic talon
#

from both being RNG shitstorms sure ig?

crisp heath
#

Orks play very differently

arctic talon
#

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

crisp heath
#

fartshart pls add misfires into vt2

arctic talon
#

warpfire thrower adds mroe warpstone

#

rolls a 3

#

everyone fucking dies

queen laurel
#

That weak spot mechanic is a bit fucky

crisp heath
#

Empire artillery was a fun ride lmao

arctic talon
#

I like old world

#

a lot tbh

crisp heath
#

I will STAY hating on the end times

arctic talon
#

I think most people hate end times

#

story wise lol

crisp heath
#

Ordertide canon ending

arctic talon
#

I think AoS is still the best like wargame of the 3? 4?

rn

because of a door

arctic talon
#

Nah I'm right smh

queen laurel
#

i like old world but like

#

orcs there fucking basic

arctic talon
#

I don't even play AoS the most lol

#

I play 40k the most

#

but imo AoS plays the best

queen laurel
#

Like they are so bland that the only saving grace they had was the characters

crisp heath
#

The gobbos more than made up for it

queen laurel
#

Aos you have picks

outer wave
crisp heath
#

absolute street creatures

shadow plover
#

Yeah AoS is a very good game what I've gathered

#

Better than Fantasy ever was

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

bloodbowl goblins

#

have sick armor lol

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

there's one I haven't seen in either AoS or WHF for goblins

crisp heath
#

If they kept the setting and general movement of WHFB and the mechanics of aos it’d be peak

arctic talon
#

it looks almost like chaos warrior armor

crisp heath
#

I think I just described the old world

arctic talon
#

No

#

Old World plays like WHFB still

#

its just less shit

#

AoS imo is a good setting

#

its just different

queen laurel
#

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

arctic talon
#

tbf WHFB was going to die

queen laurel
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

especially when GW was looking to like

queen laurel
#

look I’m just happy I can use my box of Warlord Games Pike and Shotte minis as an Empire army

arctic talon
#

you can do that in AoS too tbf

#

well

#

you need round bases ig

crisp heath

cities of sigma

arctic talon

so uh

crisp heath
#

yeah I’ve put them on square bases

queen laurel
arctic talon
# crisp heath cities of sigma

Cities of Sigmar being told that an entire crusade has been horrifically torn apart and murdered and then immedietly deciding to send another crusade

crisp heath

Yes(some)

crisp heath

this is important info

arctic talon
#

Hammerhal has a system like the elector counts

crisp heath

but are they the elector counts

arctic talon
#

idk about 3.0

#

I've never seen the Cities of sigmar 3.0 book

queen laurel
#

yeah old warhammer factions are still a thing back in the day like the Greenskinz

#

Replace the S in the end with Z

crisp heath
#

WFRP 2e is still great

arctic talon

Oruuk is still a shit name

#

WHFRP 2e is still great

queen laurel

But there's no point in complaining about that

arctic talon

Ogor is less shit tbh

crisp heath
queen laurel
#

Aelf

arctic talon
#

Aelf is fine

#

its used in stuff outside of AoS

#

Duradin is Meh

#

Idk why they didn't just use Dawi

queen laurel
#

it was genuinely fine

arctic talon
#

Duradin is inoffensive as a name and it doesn't violate my fucking eyes

#

like Orruk

queen laurel
arctic talon

Its still Gork and mork

tbf

crisp heath

thank god its not Gorruk

queen laurel

#

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

queen laurel
#

Some of the stuff did not work well

coarse pumice
#

The book was just so overpowered, that it made the previous High and Dark elf books in 7th (the previous champions) look like toddlers

queen laurel
#

I cannot imagine

coarse pumice
#

They were powerful but also undercosted

queen laurel
#

like a bloodthirster or some shit

coarse pumice
#

I think people could run bloodletters like goblins

queen laurel
#

blood letters we're so cheap they can be used like meat shields?

#

god ******* damn

coarse pumice
#

Or at least cheap enough that you could spam them against units they outclassed

#

And they had really strong magic

queen laurel
#

nurgle slannesh and tzeentch

coarse pumice
#

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

queen laurel
#

So people could genuinely put in a decent amount of investment into an army of them and basically become unstoppable

coarse pumice
#

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

coarse pumice
#

40K had problems too, though they didn’t 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

green loom
#

But they've made a warcom article about their new deal with Amazon so we can be comfy in that it's real

dusk patrol
#

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 wouldn’t be shocked if it is the first thing they do or a follow up if the first is a hit.

shut shell
#

Does the guard have JAGs or is that what commissars are

green loom
#

JAG?

rocky gale
#

Judge advocate general

#

Lawyers involved in Court martials basically

shut shell
#

Military officers who serve as advocates and judges

#

Also handle administrative law

plush mason
#

iirc they do have tribunals but idk if lawyers are something the imperium has

green loom
#

Prolly just commissars

shut shell
#

You’d think they would since authoritarian governments usually have pretty detailed laws

plush mason
#

seeing as civilian court cases literally last generations i doubt they have representatives

rocky gale
#

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

plush mason
#

its likely all self representation

rocky gale
#

It's called "The Trial of Lucille Von Shard"

plush mason
#

which just makes the whole law system of the imperium that much more unfair and grimdark

shut shell
#

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

plush mason
#

they dont have advocates

#

the accused has to represent themselves

rocky gale
#

Commissars a lot of the time are expected to act as judge, jury and executioner.

plush mason
#

yeah

shut shell
#

We’ll just judge and executioner since military justice wouldn’t use a jury

rocky gale
#

and because they are typically witness to the crime being committed, the execution is often summary

plush mason
#

the average grunt will ether get put into a penal regiment or executed on the spot

shut shell
# azure knoll 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 it’s harder for someone to be found liable/guilty

azure knoll
#

imagine a 50k page book written across 10 000 years that contains laws that are all still in effect

#

now memorize it

shut shell
#

Reminds me of tax law haha

azure knoll
#

yes

#

except it's tax law of 10k years of bureaucracy and religious zealotry and authoritarianism piled on top

shut shell
#

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 that’s something the writers would even go into lol

#

I’m sure they have enough technology that they don’t have to memorise it. Lawyers today aren’t expected to know everything off by heart because of you just know what to look for then you can find anything

azure knoll
#

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

shut shell
#

They don’t have database searches?

#

Like that’s actually similar to how it is in real life, you won’t know which page of which report the precedent is found in but you would just do a database search to find it

azure knoll
#

not hand held at least

#

computers are largely done through servitors and those aren't really compact

shut shell
#

Oh ok

azure knoll
#

some adeptus arbite nerd could jump in and correct my mistakes

thorn zenith
#

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

azure knoll
#

remember, a million worlds

Oh they increased colony space in RT

versed ledge
#

So what was the lore explanation for catachans just being so meaty and huge? Even for the women among them?

rocky gale
#

It's basically the Hard times create strong men meme

#

and because you live on Catachan it's always hard times

storm jungle
#

#

Evolutionarily it doesnt make any sense but their lore is form the 90's so like lol

rocky gale
#

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.

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

lunar harness
#

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

RAPID FIRE

rocky gale

Prepare for Assault Paragon Warsuits

lunar harness
#

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

rocky gale
#

Penitent detachment also seems alright but I don't think as good

lunar harness
#

Its gonna be sad to give up the Blade of St Eleyanor tho

rocky gale
#

But yea, I'm not a fan of the Army of Faith rule at all

lunar harness
#

I actually think this might be the best detachment at first glance

#

Unless they remove FNP from the arco flagellents

rocky gale
#

But it's geared for Penitent models, so it's very list dependent

lunar harness
#

yea but the highest placing sisters list are all running

#

3x max size arco

#

because they are just that good

#

even at 160 points

rocky gale
#

Sure, but I don't wanna do that

lunar harness
#

me neither, I hate htem

#

give them to admech

#

they can use them way better anyway xD

rocky gale
#

Like the only penitent models I have are the ones you get from the old Combat Patrol

lunar harness
#

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

rocky gale
#

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

lunar harness
#

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...

rocky gale
#

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

lunar harness
#

I honestly kind of have hope for Army of Faith, but it will be hard to play

rocky gale
#

I just don't like the detachment rule

lunar harness
#

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

rocky gale
#

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."

lunar harness
#

I just realized this is lore chat not

Had any of the new codexes have new lore?

I think so

Pretty sure

Grendyl has dirt/some sort of working relationship with her

so she has 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

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?

arctic talon

But they won’t have individual like

normal grove
arctic talon
#

Lands and such

arctic talon
#

The titles aren’t like

That sort of title

#

It’s more so in celebration of their deeds rather then some noble title

And regarding planets it goes to the entire chapter

normal grove
arctic talon

As a recruitment world

Or a new homeworld

rocky gale

Pretty sure Ultramarines have certain Marines who basically act as like Planetary governors in Ultramar

He's High Suzerain of Ultramar, but that's just an honorific

Can space marines survive headshots when not wearing a helmet?

Certain weapons obviously would still 1 shot but surely they can survive some?

arctic talon
young pecan
#

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 💀

arctic talon
#

Writer determines what kills a marine fr fr

young pecan
#

Yeah, like so many other things in 40k I find

arctic talon
#

But it like pierced something important iirc lol

#

Which is why he bled out

#

Also it was a chaosy stick

#

From a chaosy guy

young pecan
#

Ohh that makes more sense

arctic talon
#

But yeah it was both unlucky as hell

paper haven
#

Depends on the writer. Also a normal person has a higher chance of surviving a head injury than a spear to the throat

young pecan
#

I read that and was like "...that's kinda pathetic, Cawl."

arctic talon
#

He got those parts pierced

arctic talon
#

When that happens

#

Cawl was still in a vat prolly lol

#

Or was a sperm and egg lol

young pecan
#

Ohh so that was unrefined marines before Cawl as well, makes even more sense

arctic talon
#

Well

#

Wouldn’t say unrefined

#

But the furnace def would have saved the marine lol

#

Ironically

#

But yeah the guy got supreme unlucky

young pecan
#

I don't know a whole lot about what Cawl made better with marines, I still gotta finish the first book 😔

dusk patrol
#

It’s just a random freak accident

#

It’s not complicated

#

Even in the book they say that

viral halo
arctic talon
#

He was alive during the heresy

#

But that scene was early great crusade

#

Iirc

#

Cawl wouldn’t have been born yet

viral halo
#

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

well obv

I'm referring to the person called Belisarius Cawl

not the many minds that now make him up lol

green loom

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

young pecan
#

It's okay, lidless stare still best ability in the game pogryn

green loom
#

Yeah lol

#

And the similar ability you get for sacrificing Yrilet that scales with veil degradation

young pecan
#

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

It was pretty bonkers when I used it

crisp heath
thorn zenith
#

Yea personally iconoclast (with a bit of dogmatic) is THE canon route for me

arctic talon
#

Icono + dogmatic or dogmatic + icono is good

#

full dogmatic is evil, Full heretic is evil, full icono is stupid

thorn zenith
#

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

queen laurel
#

||and hey you turn the entire expanse into your own empire||

thorn zenith
#

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

arctic talon
#

character ending is based on how you do their story

#

iirc

#
  • some other stuff
thorn zenith
#

Yeah thats why i mention them, i was going for Heinrix by chance but let him go at the end

queen laurel
#

like yriellet realizing her empire and people can just as savage as humans

#

if not more so

#

so she became a pirate

thorn zenith
#

My run Yrliet got Pasqal'd later

arctic talon
#

tbh her craftworlds remaining farseer is like

#

an actual fucking dumbass

thorn zenith
#

Heinrix got Argenta'd, Cassia got assasinated, Jae got destroyed by another rogue trader, Marazhai got sold to the inquisition

thorn zenith
arctic talon
#

yeah

thorn zenith
#

I didnt manage to free Ulfar because i didnt know how

queen laurel
#

Like if you're going pure this iconoclast is the least painful because you actually go out of your way to help

thorn zenith
#

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

arctic talon
#

You can

#

tbh killing him is the smart choice lol

#

he is still like

#

you know

queen laurel
#

Are you assuming just because he's a dark elder known for their cruelty he's a bad guy

thorn zenith
#

Oh yea hes still a dark eldar and your mercy to him means sacrificing your crew menials

queen laurel
#

i'm just ******* with you i always kill him when i have the choice

thorn zenith
#

And my crew absolutely love me

#

Theres no way im doing my boys and girls like that

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

It can't be that hard to put a soul into a soul stone and give one to him

arctic talon
#

well

#

the soulstone would prolly be disgusted with him

#

and disintegrate lol

thorn zenith
#

I wanna go a "good ending for everyone" route, with the help of toybox

queen laurel
#

If you beat the game the first time I don't see why not

thorn zenith
#

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

queen laurel
vast crystal
#

I feel like the "chaos scattering the primarcs" thing is bullshit

queen laurel
#

because the love between an eldar and a human

thorn zenith
#

Eldar loving humans must be borderline bestiality for em

vast crystal
#

I have no idea how my companions haven't abandoned me yet because I'm on the path of becoming a literal chaos worshiper

queen laurel
#

if a privateer that has access to multiple planets rejects you you accept the rejection

vast crystal
#

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?

arctic talon
#

You ascend to become a daemon prince

queen laurel
#

that's funny

vast crystal
#

Because that would be borderline horrific to witness

thorn zenith
#

Hehe haha and suddenly the monkeigh turns into a daemon prince

vast crystal
#

Is the god emperor (blessed be his name) truly dead/dying?

arctic talon
#

He’s not dead or dying

#

But he’s on life support

vast crystal
#

He's a regenerating soul then?

arctic talon
#

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

vast crystal
#

If he isn't dead. Them how would he feel about the imperium

arctic talon
#

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

vast crystal
#

So it is unclear if there is hope for mankind

arctic talon
#

Well

#

We know how 40k is going to end

#

Humanity is going to fucking die

#

Or rather the imperium is

queen laurel
#

Yeah even with the two sons of the emperor alive there is no way they can stitch the imperium together into a coherent empire

vast crystal
#

Every faction* losses then

arctic talon
#

beyond that there are visions of the future

vast crystal
#

*faction, not race

arctic talon
#

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

vast crystal
#

It's only the orks who won't get a pyrrythic victory out of this

queen laurel
#

They already won

vast crystal
#

They already one

arctic talon
#

The chaos gods will get a W

#

tbh

queen laurel
#

orks are in a galaxy already full of battle what more can they ask for

arctic talon
#

also yeah Orks have won from a

#

well

#

what they want standpoint

vast crystal
arctic talon
#

No they won't

#

Chaos has plenty of mortal servants

queen laurel
#

Yeah you can maintain them by doing things like tributes and stuff like for example

#

Battle arenas in every single planet for khorne

arctic talon
#

Chaos can sustain itself so long as there's mortals

#

though it will be diminished if it kills a ton

vast crystal
#

What would the galaxy look like after a chaos victory anyway

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Like Imperium nihlus's chaos empires

#

but with more infighting

vast crystal
#

Nihlus chaos empires

arctic talon
#

oh yeah thats a thing now

#

lol

#

Imperium nihlus is like genuinely fucked at this rate

vast crystal
#

So my wish of chaos states came true?

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Notable Chaos Empires are Lorgar's, Perturabo's and The Red Corsairs

vast crystal
#

😊

arctic talon
#

Perturabo's did however get invaded by the Death Guard with morty

#

and uh Perty unfortunately lost

queen laurel
#

Same with archeon and fantasy seems a bit weird

arctic talon
#

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

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

I got no clue for Archeon

#

I'd assume its the same

#

Also don't want another belakor

#

Abbadon and Archeon are both ambitious

queen laurel
#

In fantasy i mean

arctic talon
#

well

#

its more power

queen laurel
#

It's a bit weird yeah like
