so SOB got done good or dirty?
Ok, it`s time to dump 120 cultists on the field
Looks good
Won't know until I've got a codex in my hands, but right now from hearing bits and pieces it sounds good
I’m happy with the Ork codex as well
I know that’s old news but I haven’t had a chance to play them much
I might later today depending how I feel after work lol
Anyways, lore time, do most augmented tech priests usually eat? I imagine most are capable of it, but don’t have to for energy
I know the answer varies ofc
Yep thats the answer

Because its impossible to give a certain answers to. Some do actually eat and enjoy common commodities (even if said techpriest cant taste the food) just because "why not".
Some meanwhile are so augmented they dont even need it.
Gatorade for electrolytes
Mike attached a solar panel to himself and now he just does it for fun
So I know that they can be sustained by electrical energy, besides like solar, how would that be generated?
Like deadass a mini plasma reactor in their body?
Movement
Fr?
Lil crank operated
But doesn’t that just leave you at best at a energy deadlock, or a deficit?
Kinetic movement yes
Or some ****
Also solar panels and literal generators for organs
I see what your saying but yeah i always figured augments borrowed naturally produced energy from the body
Alongside other sources
Its probably why belisarius has such a big dumpie
Also beyond basic chemical energy for ATP production and powering their augmetics, don’t they still require various proteins and macronutrients for continued function of what parts of their brain that remain?
Any kind of techno-babble bullshit.
40k doesnt really go for realism, it says "This techpriest doesnt starve because they got [insert random device/augment here]"
They could literally also have a furnace for a stomach that melts down biomatter for energy
Which is fine if they are just a brain in a nutrient solution like some
So that they can eat like say trees plants and stuff and they would be fine
It doesnt really matter.
True
the writers dont seek to answer these things
Yeah I’m looking at it from a medical standpoint lol
It's honestly up to you how you want to collect energy
Cause I’m bored at work
In that case you are better off asking an actual expert

Man if we knew we would have augments already
A 40K expert?
I was just speculating for funsies lol
Oh i know
I don’t think we have an answer at current lol
It just reminds me i wish i could get cybernetic eyeballs for my shitty vision lol
Hm hold on, how are current prosthetics powered? Like do you charge them?
I'd guess that they have some nutrient IV's plugged into their bloodstream, that makes the most sense to me
Anyone got that page that lists the basic augments almost all tech priests have?
Do you think 40k would work better or worse if writers tried to actually put some sense of realism behind why things are the way they are in the setting?
I think some spice of realism could be pretty cool
Same
But it's also high fantasy in space so not sure how bad it would clash if at all
I mean, bits and pieces could be good with some good ol’ fashioned “it’s techno wizardry”
They already do do this.
Its why novels are a good way for some grounded realism in some scenarios.
Its more that people are generally here for a plot, not to take a side-segway to explain why this techpriest cant starve.
Its why theres so many throwaway explanation lines in 40k novels like a comic book
I see I see
I think realism is nice and all but people get too caught up on details and then it becomes an argument from my experience
Like the custodes thing, which is based off some randon line with masculine terminology
That somehow now means its a lorebreak for femstudes
Like its nice for detail
But people get too caught up on restricting others with it
people are starting to use realism and historical accuracy just to hide their blatant dog shit tastes
it's like people believe realism is inherently better than anything else
Were there any loyalist world eaters?
They all would have had the nails by the time of istvan I’d think
Weren't all potentially loyal marines from traitor legions slaughtered at Istvaan III?
Yeah
Just wondering if world eaters had any at all
Or were they all down with being traitors cause of the nails
Their Librarians were loyalistish
They didn't have Nails implanted and tried to stop Lorgars ritual to turn Angron into a Daemon Prince
A lot
Almost all of them dead on Istvaan
a lot of them on istvan weren't even loyalist lol
the primarchs had to sprinkle in some who were chaos oriented so the loyalists didn't suspect they were being sent to their death
the book mostly follows the luna wolves and emperor's children but we hear of the loyalist world eaters hiding in bunkers when the virus bomb dropped since at the time they were assaulting the outer defence line of the city
Also, was Fulgrim ever cool before his traitorous turn and daemon stuff?
Never read any of his books
But I feel like I wouldn’t like the guy
Seems like he would rub it in your face he’s better then you
Yes quite so, he brought his home planet up from nothing (they loved him there) and was great friends with Ferris manis. Conrad also trusted him. His role was likely going to be the diplomatic face of the imperium if things had not gone the way they did.
I kinda like fulgrim, hope his clone has hos true soul
Ye fulgrim was pretty nice early on
Fulgrim was a pretty decent guy
his book is boring
but he liked art a lot
and brought a lot more remembrancers with his fleet than other primarchs did
then he found a sword and liked art too much
his reason to go to chaos is dumb af
slaanesh is dumb af
So what does a cranial implanted auspex look like?
Or world it even be visible if it’s implanted in the brain?
The clone is trazyns now
Because bile was upset his daughter took a bullet for him
For some reason I keep thinking like an ocular implant but that’s more like a targeting device
I’m just trying to kinda head-canon what some minimalist/more biologic tech priest gear would look like
What the most technological advanced guard regiment? Non tempestus scions
Also, the guard auto targeter helmet in the game, how does that work in lore?
Elysians get pretty techy
The Arkhan Confederates have steam-powered power armour
I think there's a regiment that uses weird hover sentinels too
The Vitrian Dragoons have pretty advanced armour that can swap between regular livery and non-reflective camo
And yeah that tracks lol
Yeah guard tech levels get pretty crazy
It isn't particularly crazy if there's some random planet with guys that look like this
yeah like you can also have guard that are just straight up Barbarians
Like they are so varied and unique on their own ways that it's actually kind of fun
There any traitor legions that defected chaos? For either another god or the emperor
indvidual members of the legion might defect but the whole one no. Especially for the cult legions
they don't exactly work like 30k legions anyway, they are mostly warbands within bigger legion identity and there can be marines with different alignments within a warband too
betrayal and defection is a constant, I don't think they will turn to emperor tho, imperium isn't exactly known for being merciful
not to mention a big part of them have personal reasons to hate imperium for at least hundreds of years
Yeah i was gonna say this
theres an entire faction aka Blackshields who are made of loyalist, traitor or non-different Legion members
entirely made so that you can make any kind of renegade Marines with any goal you want
Pretty sure Deathwatch still has Blackshields
their blackshields is radically different but ye
For 30k we have people like the anchorite who defected during Calth but mostly we don’t see many marines defect once chaos really took root, loyalist traitor and Blackshields existed for all legions
For 40k deathwatch or something exotic like joining a radical inquisitor or rogue trader is pretty much your only option if you’re somehow not too corrupted and trying to rejoin the Imperium
Which is why there’s a fair number of implied Fallen in Deathwatch as well as renegade chapters or remnants of chapters who fell. It’s fairly unlikely that a marine who was a CSM for any length of time wouldn’t be too corrupted to join but it’s not impossible I guess. Blackshields in Deathwatch largely aren’t directly explained for their origins and it’s extremely rare they’d ever tell anyone besides their commander and the chaplain who allowed them in.
For 30k there was just everything, World Eaters and Iron Warriors in particular are singled out as having massive portions of them which remained loyal, although most of the World Eaters died on Istvaan III.
White Scars probably had the most turn traitor of any loyalist, Dark Angels it’s kinda hard to quantify since the situation was a lot more complex and weird.
A lot of the rank and file didn’t really turn and weren’t aware of what was going on.
Also renegade marines in 40k are just non-existant due to shit writing.
In 30k they are just plentiful because reasons and got about as many goals as you can come up with that is as long as my arm, down to just "lol i wanna be a pirate and a warlord"
I shrimply killed all of them
well they do exist, they just never get fucking mentioned
or they show up in books exclusively
Tbh it’s kinda weird that the Ashen Claws survived as long as they have anyways
If it was explained instead of "they exist" id understand it lol
As much as I like their idea
but renegade marines just get no attention also due to marketing reasons prob, you want people focusing on loyalists first and foremost so no need to really divert it
Mostly it’s just being on the fringes or whatever, as it’s shown it’s just really fucking hard to go without the support of chaos and the Imperium so you tend to fall for one
And marines aren’t really built around being fence sitters
some loyalist space marine chapters are outside the law so to speak
like a lot of them are hiding secrets that would get them killed if they became public knowledge
I guess the closest you get is huron but he went full chaos so
🤷♀️
Chapters ignoring rules or flaunting their power or reputation isn't what we're referring to though.
I feel like its kind of a plot point that space marines fall to chaos really really easily
so maybe they just figure from a writing perspective any marine story worth telling has them go chaos
Iron Hands having blatant tech heresies, the Ultramarines having their own state and recruiting from Scions, Black Templars having thousands of marines, Space Wolves and....everything they do.
They don't really, especially after the heresy, but they are often put in situations against the worst of chaos.
They're still far more resilient to it than most normal humans ever will be.
There's a lot of examples of loyalists falling but thats ignoring how many chapters are constantly fighting chaos and don't have issues.
And of course, it just depends on the person.
Chapters like the Exorcists are gonna be a lot better at dealing with it than most for example.
Kinda wishing now that the Lucius short had him possess the like, decoy body thing the exorcists have instead of the marine
Would've been a fun twist
So when a human in fantasy turns to an ungor due to the curse passed down or via chaos magic, do they retain their memories as a human and can act within those memories, or do they become a completely different person?
what tech heresies?
Examples of Dreadnoughts with no organics, Helfathers which are resurrected marines using DAoT tech, sometimes called Reveants, taking xenos and dark age tech from sources they find and studying it, one clan has a malevolent AI on its Land Behemoths they offer war trophies to, in order to satiate its bloodlust
Heavy study of Necron stuff too which some would consider a tech heresy. There’s others too but that’s the main ones which we know directly of. Mostly they just don’t care and do what they like. Any Tech Priests or whatever they allow on Medusa into their inner sanctums take a vow of silence and are never allowed to leave.
Beastmen at their "base" form are born from mutation caused by the chaos corruption/winds sweeping from the polars of the planet.
In old lore they used to also kidnap ||and mass-rape women to create more offsprings|| but this has been changed and has remained unmentioned for obvious reasons. Now they largely stick to collecting strayed mutant baby beastmen from humans that leave their kids in the woods to die and breed with female beastmen who only got 1 literal sentence of lore.
And they do keep memories somewhat its more that at the point of turning into a beastmen you are basically a completely different thing so it mostly doesnt matter to them and they turn more- well bestial lol
Damn so they cant even use their knowledge to help with beastman society
Absolutely true plus it'd be coming from ungors
their lore has it so that they actually get the "bull sees red and goes rage-mode" thing when they see actual structures

Yeah beastmen at core are undivided
Beastmen when they see two people converse and it doesnt involve fighting or fucking
By their respective worshipers or beastmen cohorts?
Beastmen
Makes sense
They get abused/killed
Unless said god aligned beastman manages to kill anyone who tries to like
You know

Yeah and god-specific beastmen was a super unexplored concept in WHF, and had like big super passing mentions due to the main miniature line being un-alligned, they became more of their thing once AOS rolled around.
then the great purge happened

I like that AoS explored that whole thing
Yeah now they are back to being goons
Slaangors gaming
It makes beastmen that much more selfish when it comes to trying to woo the gods into getting them gifts, slightly unlike every other chaos follower
Beastmen are gona get mentioned and show up in lore still
Like every other AoS thing that lost minis
And rules
I refuse to let them just be simple goons

Unfortunately its the truth
they have been goons as long as warhammer has been a thing
so like almost 30+ years
genuinely nobody cares about beastmen
neither in games
neither in books
neither in tabletop
its sad lmao
Tbf it fits their lore in a real ironic way
Black goats that no one gives a shit about
IM HOPING they get a revamp as Morghur's Goat Harem horde or some shit like that
Yep thats accurate lol
they are the literal black sheep
And I genuinely like that they are!
I love that they're so reviled by everyone that they have to work harder to get the gods' attention and they dont really care
They're just there to bring down civilzation for their own purposes
It feels tastefully bitter and kinda tragic
This isnt to say they should just be consistently underdogs/gooners that just work for some other evil mastermind cuz I like guys like Taurox
The problem is again nobody cares
beastmen are just there to be stormtroopers
Go and die in droves so heroes look good
almost EVERY SINGLE WHF book
has them as some NPC fodder enemy the protags kill

God thats rough
😔
I think they would probably sell better if they leaned away from the goat man look a bit
Probably wouldnt help them in the books however
I wonder how you could have a major beastman villain that doesnt feel like theyre just being used by someone else that has higher ambitions than them
Those do exist
Morghur is one
True Morghur seems like the best candidate for that kinda thing
Well he is but hes also a Villain of the Week
Appears
Dies
Respawns later
😔
Swarmlord kinda issue
There’s the new AoS beastman leader
Actually beastmen are kinda like tyranids in a way huh
Man.
Poor beastmen
Yeah man
They're really not given many chances to expand into something else
I do think the aesthetics of the beastmen doesnt help them much since furry and smelly goat people
Yeah and its a very generic fantasy thing
theres really just not much you can do about them lol
I personally think they just gotta get away from the centaur/satyr/minotaur look
And start making more chimeric looks for them like rhino-stag beetle-snake man
Like have more elite units be more mixtures of various animals and maybe even plants
These are representative of the dark savage side of the forest so you could go all out
Or you could play with the creatures WHF already has like the hydra, the sea hydra thing, toad dragon
Maybe even have ones that look really similar to lizardmen but they also have patches of fur and chitin plates in various spots
Like these are chaos mutants; they dont just have to be goats and horses, which are a fine start but they dont have to be just that
I think they can do something, but GW just doesnt because stock margins and maybe some infighting between AoS and TOW teams
Or they could just weird and silly with the designs like imagine a named beastman lord looking like this
And his thing is giving his victims more legs than they need and laughs at them as they struggle to live their lives
Idk maybe Im just not the exective behind the scenes that understands the financial risk and all that but there had to be more ideas than simply porting beastmen into AoS and then doing nothing with them (outside of some lore bits) before shelving them.
Thanks for coming to my TED talks.
Tbf, you do need factions like that sometimes and unfortunately I don’t think the interest for beastmen have ever been there really in a big scale, they’re cool but they’re basically tailor made as the mook faction
They got some cool named dudes but even they’re kinda just
Boss enemies for the mooks
Yeah they're simply built that like fundamentally
Still would be cool to see more from them
I dunno too many beastmen characters aside from Morgoth, Taurox, Slugtongue, and uhhhh yeah
Not professor lionwheel
I LOVE PROFESSOR LIONWHEEL HE CAN GO IN ANY DIRECTION
I love how people always think slaneesh is the god of sex and being horny, when in actuality, most slaneeshi followers would find sexual acts to be incredibly dull amusements, like maybe as a gateway to excess, or if you’re starting out following slaneesh, but for the most part it’s all about like consuming the pineal gland of the last of a race while it laments its fate while freebasing 6 different chemicals at once because it’s the only way they can feel anything anymore
Or obsessing over the way to create the absolutely most perfect painting
Or like more hellraiser type stuff
I kinda hate that thats the only thing people see in Slaanesh, even though its the most obvious thing about them
They're a really interesting chaos god when you get down to it
Perfection and obsession is such a human thing that we can all relate to in some extent
And excess, anything can be done excessively
It’s so boring
Right?
Like holy shit you can be more creative than that
It's pretty scary just how all encompassing Slaanesh is
so is there a meaningful difference between servo-skulls and cogitators besides servo-skulls were techpriests once?
Servo skulls are just someone important or worthy of the gift. servoskulls have cogitators in them
Servo skulls don’t typically have any actual brain matter or whatever
yeah its just the skull of the person they use
That being said some are a bit…quirky and the skull does have significance beyond the symbolism
My psyker refered to the Emperor as the "Carrion Lord"
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being Horus, how heretical is that?
There’s a Deathwatch servo skull made from one of their best trackers/scouts which has unusual ability to track and detect stuff
I believe it’s a term the Imperium uses tbh
They’re very open that he’s like
Dead/dying and suffering
Similar Jesus being on the cross for Catholicism
the heretics call him the corpse emperor
It’s called the Carrion Throne
the imperium calls him the carrion lord because his body is dead but his soul lives on
Don't worlds have specific beliefs on what he is
Whelp, guess my angry psyker is a bit less heretical than I thought, won't have to report him to the Commisar
It’s a death cult
Like in rogue trader the primal world sees him as an eagle
the Eshers call the emperor the empress
The fact that he’s dying or suffering hugely is a feature
But yeah worlds worship him all ways
Sun god, fisher king, death lord
I like the loonies who insist "he'll get better soon'he's about to stand up any day now!!"
allfather :P
Which is why GSC can often blend in their own cult as a eccentric offshoot
No way in hell is he ever gettin off that golden toilet
the 4 armed emperor
Not with Robusts Girly Man doing the heavy lifting now
I would have said the same for that 13th Black Crusade finishing and Squats coming back
I'd say Krorks coming back are more likely
Nah
yah, cuz WAAAAGH
Krorks might as well be a meme by the community how much they talk about them vs how much they ever mattered
Or what they even were
for that to happen literally takes a lot and I mean a lot of fighting for them to get into that level
People see one passage from a Bile book and extrapolate to the moon
And the beast was the closest we got
they menetioned in that great Ghaz book, as what they're trying to achive one day too
But that guy literally just spawned off screen
There’s not even an evidence of this tbh
It’s very possible they can never be that again
We don’t even know how good Krork were
It’s possible the Beast Waggghh exceeded them
Ghaz's whole relgion is like "If we stopz mukkin about, wez could be az gud az dem and maybe even az big."
It's only bile saying that their armor is more advanced than a lot of the stuff his seen
Other than that basically nothing
Yeah which is meaningless as a descriptor really
People extrapolate way too much about them
No real chance of Ghaz's religious aspirations of a WAAAGH big enough to bring Krorks around succeeding, but I say its more likely than Emperor getting better
You can argue the War of the Beast implies how dangerous they could have been but
I think they have a chance to come back if the right conditions are met which is like I said ******* impossible because of the life expectancy of an average ork
There’s so much fuckiness with lore for that era
Like now it’s lore that Grots were the commanders
You would need to somehow put one in a perfect battlefield to grow into it
Or implied I should say
I tend to agreed
It’s fine theorizing I just try to curb the like
Ghaz he's like the closest we are getting right now and he's basically only reaching the level of the beast
And he's literally doing all of this work
Yeah like the war of the beast the main stars were literally the eldar and necrons
thats weird since a lot of books like tha Ghaz one say their place in the great green is to be slaves.
Though Snaggi Lilttletooth would disagree strongly if anyone said that to him
I'm pretty sure in the making of war in heaven Lore they're like wait
What about the giant green fungus what about their origins
Just stick them in lore in war of heavens and they'll be fine
Because they literally show up kill stuff and literally get obliterated by orbital fire
Like in my opinion they likely had a kill switch kinda deal to regress when the Old Ones died and needed proper control to be where they were
Then combine that with the Necrons kicking their ass and the Eldar doing it for the next 50 million years
The only other ultra uge and smart ork besides Ghaz? || Ufthak Blackhawk, by the end of Da Big Dakka ||
We have the end result of Orks
It's also just possible that the old ones are a bit stupid like they made a race that can manifest of God of War in the battlefield back in the old days
There’s smarter Orks than Ghaz arguably
Just not as good leaders
Orkimedes is probably smarter
Yeah, but Ghaz is roight proppa orky he iz
Other Big Meks too likely, Ghaz is just a very effective leader
He’s not dumb
But the point being it’s not just smarts
yeah in the ghaz bookz his way of thinking is brutal but very cunning
He’s also obsessive
yeah that's how he lost in the second war of Armageddon
And possibly divinely inspired
I should read some of the Armageddon books
He got so obsessed with the fortress he forgot to take into attention the other stuff that happening around him
I liked the Ghaz book a ton
but now though I'd say he became smart grimgor
He's just wondering the universe looking for the actual good fight
making orks look for the right fight
Dey robbed Ghaz of getting to krump his favorite umie
He kept Yarrick around because he liked fighting him
but because of that he died so
No use crying over spilled juice
Where the hell was he when he was chasing around Ghaz
Fuck knows
Because I'm pretty sure guilliman took his marine support being black templars
It’s left very up in the air atm
Guilliman convinced Helbrecht that chasing Ghaz was spending too much time on a threat that wasn’t a priority and he wasn’t likely to pin down anyways
Unless you’re Ragnar for some reason
Wish they would have just left the Ghaz release for when Helbrecht got a new model but
Oh well
Space Wolves are the main characters of 40k
Maybe a long while ago
They don’t get much focus these days but Ragnar had a new model
It’s not the worst lore ever, especially of psychic awakening
It does make sense he would be going after him
It’s just kinda lame though
GW does like unusual pairings for that kinda stuff though sometimes
Got some good art out of it at least
Ragnar never beating the dumbass allegations
Space Wolves probably got forgotten the fucking hardest by GW at this rate
Hopefully its a lead up to them having unique sprues for long fangs and grey hunters
Long Fang Phobos Squads or long fang Gravis squads sounds cool
Imo it’s not the best taste to put people who were literally chemically castrated as children under repping sexual orientation
I suppose I should remove the representation part of that statement
But with the sole exception of the emperors children. They are basically immune to slannesh corruption
Most EC don’t really exhibit sexual proclivities anyways
Atleast through the sex angle
They get enjoyment from other sources, its seen as sexual, but if you get a good scratch on an itch
Is it sexual?
If you make it that way
Warhammer mend Twitter account being transphobic :(
Who
Oh a strawman argument
Wait what did they say to you
What is Warhammer Mend ?
I’m exaggerating but it was one of those stupid like drawn versions of a tweet things
if you don't mind me asking did your PFP have the flag like in discord
i think they just saw that and immediately threw in the transphobic shit
yeah
take hot as the sun: space marines actually have manginas
yeah i guessed it
Yeah that'd likely influence his answer to you
it's almost an automatic attack response from them
these runts are about as subtle as a brute with a big choppa
honestly, western people have borderline psychotic hatred towards lgbt in my opinion
whoa whoa whoa let's avoid that
but thats my upbringing speaking because where i grow up its as normal as can be
Elephant let's try to readjust this conversation to just thinking that they're stupid because I don't think it's gonna be a pretty one
yea sure

average conservative
Not like Western Europe is one of the least anti-LGBT region in the world 
But moving on before a Warden has to become involved
I agree with the daemon possessed cactus let's try to move forward with the conversation
California Girls since it talks about a country from ancient Terra
And it's the only song I'm hearing right now thanks space marine dancing gif
COUNTRY ROADS
TAKE ME HOME
Okay but the explanation actually makes sense
Should blast it out of the voidship during warp travel
I'd want to see that in the Amazon TV show
I’m a marine girl, in a marine world, made of ceramite
Wiat plastic would have worked too
I like to think Space Marines all love Fleetwood Mac for some reason
Imagine the songs the daemons hear before their deaths come is Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift
JQHEVOQHEIWJSN
Oh I heard about that, what happened
people review bombing it to get Valve to do something about the bot issue
I positively reviewed so it can be seen as a data fluke
I want the option where everyone loses except the observers
I like the options where the most amount of people can stand to lose
Ah
I want the opposite effect of the morbius thing with like the fallout show
I think, if we can get studio execs to cancel the show mid-production and get a statement because of negative influence from fans, I think thatd be nice
I lose out on the second season but, I think everyone else loses out on more
Swift is too bland, Gaga is just right
especially if its slaanesh daemons
elaborate
Taylor Swift song does not carry the right energy imo, using Lady Gaga to herald defeat and humiliation of slaaneshi daemons sound right
Meghan Trainors would be stronger I feel like against slaaneshi daemons
I can agree with this
Don't say her names too many times in chat I'm starting to smell the carbon emissions
imagine being god damn daemons of EXCESS and you hear "Gaaaaagaaaaa Oohlala, want your bad romance"
Okay now I need a mod for that one mission where you turn off the heretic radio station
But make the ambient radio heretic chanting Swift music
her carbon emissions definitely add to this
I feel like Linkin Parks or Nine Inch Nails music is the anti-slaanesh music cause the albums were about the main singers fighting addiction
she be speeding up the decay of the world
Chester Bennington is an imperial living saint
mfw the guy who tracked her jet was made legally not allowed to do that 😁
mfw killing the planet is more legal than calling it out
and replace the cleansed radio with Gaga song
"but um actually Taylor wasnt using it, she was loaning it off to her friends too."
JUST AS BAD GUYS
I like how Gaga is the opposite of nurgle decay, in a way, she soemtimes dresses like she belongs in 40k
true, but the "heavy" stuff are too in line with 40k stuff for the jarring silliness to work
yeah im just saying, im not saying it in true relation to the main convo, It was a neat realisation i had
and Gaga song being anti warp/daemons also carry a taste of irony
brb commissioning an artist for lady gaga in custodes armor fighting slaaneshi taylor swift (and winning)
YES
A sister of battle singing some Trent Reznor songs to combat against Slaanesh daemons is something fucking wild
Gaga already has a model???
dont you guys remember?
hol up, she did?
shit
i took one glance at the pic and was like "yep, Gaga"
but actually Gaga as a rogue trader would be perfectly in character for her
if Cavill warhammer project features that i will make a point of seeing it in theater
bringing artpop to the lost human civilisations
also someone pitch her this idea
god damn artpop conquistador bringing lights and sounds to the darkened and dirty masses
Skulls as breastplates is 100000% Lady Gaga
she probably has like a passing knowledge of 40k, but like just knows it exists
oh thats a thing kinda thing
the only female singer i know that knows 40k kinda is Lily Allen
only cause she took pictures of David Harbour when he was painting his minis for fun
There's been a lingering rumour for years that Angelina Jolie collects Eldar, but I don't think it's ever been confirmed
She doesnt seem like the type ngl
You never know, apparently Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones played 40k together during the filming of Men in Black
and Judi Dench played with Vin Deisel, while filming Riddick
Will Smith does have 40k stuff
I believe Robin Williams and Chrisopher Lee were Warhammer Fantasy fans
id believe it if there was proof that she started during her 20s to 30s
because her teens were a VERY bad period for her
theres a reason she's known as Angelina Jolie and not Angelina Voight
christopher lee being a fantasy wargamer is so unsurprising lmao
before he died the man made a metal concept album about charlemagne
also yeah john voight is crazy crazy
he got the fate he deserved when he signed a contract to do like 5 baby geniuses movies
he deserved to be estranged from his kids again because of how conservative he is lmao
in fact he deserves to be estranged again
Voight wants to vote for trump again, and hates the idea of a ceasefire
literally everything Angelina hates
literally mended his relationship with them in the 2000s and shits on it 2020s
Idk who any of those ppl are 
Peter Cushing as well
Besides trump
Only in the US
Angelina Jolie is Tomb Raider
OH REALLY
In UK and EU it's Genestealers that sold out
no not the new tomb raider
Sisters are still available
the og tomb raider
the movie tomb raider
Jon Voight
The good one or the bad one
Yes
i dont think anyone else has played croft theatrically
only two people have
ICE
she did like 4 movies though
but yeah i feel sorry for Angelina for having a horrible ex husband and trump supporting dad

Brad Pitt didnt react very well when they were having their divorce
he sabotaged her shares of their shared wine company thing
so she didnt get the full amount of it when she sold her shares to the stock market or some shit
Brad made it very VERY fucking messy lmao
Shiloh, their daughter is doing what her mom did and is dropping the Brad Pitt's family name from her name
Robin Williams was the genie from Aladdin
Christopher Lee was Saruman in LotR

DID YOU THINK THEY WERE MAKEUP?
I extremely recommend looking up some stuff with Lee, hes an actual legend
guy went from being a WW2 commando to playing dracula 💀
OH MY GOD IT'S ASTARION
I will
I was gonna say ‘hmm what warhammer army should I buy with my birthday money’
I forgot I really wanted soulblight til you mentioned Dracula
I will kill you
TRY ME YOU OVERSIZED FISH
God I love vampires

do you have the champions of death for soulbound?
they have some pretty neat stuff
yo want it?
Yesss
aight i got you
i yer zoggin dm yer welcome
I wonder if its possible to run a mixed group in Soulbound
you can
a troll can work with the vampire lord and A doom seeker if the opportunity is there
YO
I was considering making my dynasty Chinese but that would be alot of kitbashing
Oh god I love Jiangshi
ME TOO
AYO
She is so cool.....
oh we're talking about chinese mythology and stories lol?
I was thinking about new army with birthday money
Id love to see a steampunk/cyborg version of jiangshi tbh
yeah you can literally have a Doomseeker ride a Morghast
Or well, more of that anyway
if two players were feeling being a suicidal
But I can’t think of lore for a custom dynasty
Why does Soulbound sound fun to play
I heard it’s amazing
i used to not like it a lot when i was still new to the franchise a bit
but hey i've come to likeit
To be fair when it released 1.0 was hot ass
And deserved a lot of kick back
1.5 story was meh
But game was playable
Soulbound is fun to play
2 is when it really came around
Joke rules can be fun tbf but sounds hollow
AoS is a great setting that deserve good games
It does indeed
there was a Love Death Robots of this
Yea
A lot of joke rules, like certain abilities only triggering if you do a little dance
Use an updated/upgraded Soulbound as basis for a For Honour AoS game please 
Anyway @rose thorn make uhhh jiangshi vampires that use metal from raided villages to make more of themselves or to replace lost body parts.
WHAT
Some of the realms aren’t really developed but are very open for homebrew
Yes I thought that was what you were talking about lol
Its really good that’s what
I just love a certain character from an obscure Chinese gacha game thats basically that
Or kinda is but without the vampirism and undead nature
No clue how Chinese games are either amazing or hot trash
Shes a cyborg thats got knife hands
Love Death + Robots, is a anthology series where every episode has different themes, styles and genres and are all vaguely horror themed.
Oh shit thats cool
Love the miniature Zombie one
It's on Netflix, it's something that's been on my watchlist for ages but I've never got to it
I wish AOS would get more Asian culture reps, It feels like a missed opportunity
That looks familiar
She does?
The art style
give it time
GW still has more existing stuff they want to flesh out they'd assume
I think I had a friend who likes it but I wouldn’t remember who
YES
Very gay for this guy
Lmao
slow it down there
Besides that I know nothing about it
Da ai is absolutely going to kill you
I know... Im sorry Hadron....
It was a gacha that had city builder elements, a top down 3 character linear dungeon crawler (?) thing for gameplay and VN elements for story.
Wrong gif
Why do you have a white blonde girl breaking it down basic style
One of my friends introduced it to our friend group years ago when it was being released in SEA
I have a bunch of fan art of that one specific character cuz I love her
I'm sorry my good elite infantry furry but I do not know anything about persona other than the characters are apparently hot
And that they shoot themselves in the head to manifest a stand like in JoJo or something
Uhhh goth doctor from P5
Very fine
that at all does not help my case whatsoever but thank you
thats in 3
in 4 you crush a tarot card and in 5 you rip off your own face a mask
Yeah no problem, shes just hot is all
Anyway Im actually really happy to hear others know about F7D
HH once again having the superior models
Yes
not a man
not made of silver
LIAR!!!!
Best persona mentioned



didn't know it was cool like this but hey, might need to check it out

I always find it funny that you can basically defeat a lot of the by replacing their power up guns with real replica guns
You try to do a funny cool stuff now you are dead because you actually blew your head off
tbh its obvious if its a real gun
the evoker is
weird
also a real gun would probably work lol
the goal is to cause an incredibly stressful situation
to force the persona out 
Does it have like a aura that allows it to be known that if it's a real or not
Just equip a persona that blocks pierce 
real
it just needs to be traumatic/terrifying enough
to summon the persona
I.E Koromaru(dog) has a collar that strangles them lol
Persona's are generally not usable outside of specific areas
aside from Persona 1 and 2 where you get them from God
What
The God of persona's universe
F*** you mean get them from god
I knew it has a reputation for having very specific lore but like
The f*** is this s***
Okay so what influences a persona's looks and power
It seems to be all trauma related
A person's personality, mind, life
So since i am very violent and stupid
It would look like an orc
Depends
might look like something else
A persona can technically be almost anything
real person, fictional person, mythological creature
ect.
Oh so i can have an orruk brute as a persona
That is incredibly funny that is
theoreitcally yes
Che Guevara is a persona
a specific person also might just manifest a Persona a different way
I.E Loki generally looks like this
It looks like a blue twink dressing as a incubus
but Loki can also look like this because of how someones mind/personality is
That's funny i like it
but technically Persona's are your like Jungian Shadow
which was something that persona 4 and 5 both like
look at
4 especially
Fuck yeah
Yooo you got the old one before it vanished
PRAISE THE STAR CHILDREN!!
Praise the four eyed emperor
its izanami in 4 too lol, i dont know if she plays an official role in 3 or 5


in persona 4 Izanami pretends to be a gas station attendant and forces you to participate in a TV murder mystery
She only gives the PC and ||adachi|| their personas
another dude too in golden, and she implies that she did it to a whole bunch of other people too
Void Coven is the current name for my cult but I might change it
i would love to know how persona actually ties to the SMT games, especially the old ones where you're keeping devils saved to a computer
Imperial navy gsc TLDR
Oh that actually sounds nice
Mine is still the git krusherz ork clan that are rescue operatives for hire
Yeah i'm pretty sure you heard about them already they just save people for fun
They dont. Persona is a spinoff that has very much little to do with SMT.
The only thing they share are the demons/personas like Pixie, Thor, Asparas, etc
thats a shame
It is what it is
that would be a fun twist for persona 6
sequel to the novels of digital devil saga
Demi fiend from SMT Nocturne makes a comeback
i was going to say that could also be fun
He did already in SMT 6 IIRC but we need more of him
technically Dante from the Devil May Cry series is canon to one of the SMT spinoffs...
God thatd be funn
wait no lmao he was literally in the NTSC release of nocturne
persona 6 featuring demifiend and Dante
Nahobino coming back as well
GOD THAT ONE PIXIE FROM NOCTURNE MAKING A COMEBACK
Would be cool
having a mixture of shadow type demons and the "real" ones would be funny
unfortunately i can already tell you the plot of persona 6 will revolve around going to highschool
I mean, they all do
Hell even the SMT games have high school kids except ones like Strange Journey
yeah but they dont make you go to class do they?
the trajectory of persona plots has been to have a blunter edge and focus more on the highschool visual novel stuff based on my vague memories
The SMT games dont as they're typically based on apocalyptic settings (Nocturne, SMT 4 Apocalypse, SMT 5, Devil Survivor)
they should make Igor the protagonist of persona 6
Based
Who's the "least bad" chaos primarch?
why? and what about his twin?
because they werent even remotely interested in chaos before their entire legion fell to it
And one is dead and the other basically has been unheard of post 30k
Yah whatever happened to Omegon?
how dull
just like their legion 🙏
A thousand souls suddenly just felt pain in their heart like some darktide mod just said that a legion was mid
Could have been just the wind though
the worst part of AL fans is them coping that they are loyalist when even the officials book they got confirm they are just asshole chaos worshippers
kekekek
and the ending revealing
Yes but they are alpha legion it doesn't matter
they were legit coping
💀
Chaos servants that aren't infected by chaos are chaos people i don't know what's hard
To understand with that statement
A chaos worshiper can look as gorgeous as astarion no problem and not all of them look like mutated ball sacks
They’re also very corrupted still
Like there’s nothing to indicate mostly they’re somehow less corrupted than others, maybe one portrayal I guess
I guess it's the look of their armor not being i don't know spiky edgy
There it is
Most fan art like removes a good chunk of the spikes and makes them look loyalists as crap
Do you think Khorne would love or hate daemonic servoskulls
On one hand, it means a skull was taken. On the other, they keep escaping from the throne
servo skulls are not made to be trophies
they are made to be helpers/venerate the user
so no
Yeah apparently them being made to honor a person by turning his skull into a microphone is just as better
Nobody is saying Admech are sensible
I swear you may ask will just parade it around as trophy of your old relative
There’s one example of them not really seeming to be corrupted in the outside from recent lore
But outside of that
There are literally daemon servo skulls in the art that's just posted
It’s not the ad mech it’s everyone
Also like, you’re not using it anymore
And im talking about what khorne would think of them, i got eyes
It’s not like we haven’t done similar things in history already
The obsession with skulls is weird
Also servitors are piloted by the "dead" person no?
Skulls are cool
Uh most of the time no
Servo skulls aren’t servitors also
Yeah they're like drones using a skull as a casing
we only got like 2-3 examples in lore of them being piloted by an actual dead person
Also those are ambiguous and maybe just quirky
The skull does seem to affect it but it’s not clear how always
Beyond just symbolism
Nah its not ambigious.
So it's basically rarer than a psychic ogryn
Those guys were literally displaced from time
so it makes sense
There’s a Deathwatch servo skull which was made from a marine which has extra abilities and tracking capabilities
they don't look super fucked up
Yeah
Servoskulls should contain 0 brain matter
emphesis on should
the mechanicus and other orginizations break this rule
a lot
I mean marine heads are bigger than a human right
Could fit more stuff in there
there's a servo skull from metalica that still has most of the Skitarii Marshal's brain in it
and it gives advice/orders/battle plans to the skitarii with it
based on battlefield conditions
They can do a variety of task right
Weapon drones
yes
Cleaning maintenance
almost any sort of task can get a servo-skull
tho their duties tend to be mid-tier
nothing too lowly
mostly
Doxing skull
That's funny
broke ass mid-2000's 40k RPG rules my beloved
Signum links are busted and the skull is cheaper than just getting a normal signum link
Because FFG designers never look at their old books
Man, we need more Warhammer rpgs
Ever
There is a lot Tbf
like, where are they?
Uh mostly archived
FFG made a ton
Cubicle 7
also yeah FFG explored literally everything
Still sells them all
They have some issues but they’re pretty good
very nice, now I just gotta find players and make an actually functioning schedule people will show up to lol
Cubicle 7 also made wrath and glory yeah
Malidictum is so comically lethal more then one or two combats is like gona kill everyone lol
Somehow we’ve made it work well with a DM in Japan
We’re actually in the middle of switching back to Deathwatch from Rogue Trader.
Because the Space Marine 2 trailer came out and we were all feeling it.
Exorcist Librarian time for me.
Damn wish that was me, every time I harass people enough to get a campaign going it only goes on for like a month at most
Why does it have a tooth grill?
fair enough
I need to finally gather up some friends and try to run an RPG, whether it's WFRP, Wrath and Glory, CoC or Soulbound
Exorcist Librarians are
A wild wild concept to say the least
And are kinda broken in universe
Since you know, they still have no fucking soul signature
I assume they have something to do with demons
Exorcists have “no souls”
