oblique nymph
#

very basic got it

barren prawn
#

the vast majority can only levitate a spoon cant they?

oblique nymph
#

scuffed seer gaze be like

barren prawn
#

or useless powers like telling when it rains but only when its raining KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon
#

we're talking about battle psykers

#

tbf

#

If we're talking about psykers who are like weirdly lucky or have no real powers

#

yeah

oblique nymph
#

soul storm sounds funny

shell mason
#

Mhm

shell mason
#

Do ya'll think death row inmates do last meals?

storm jungle
#

who, IRL?

arctic talon
#

I think the list of perils and psychic phenomena from fucking up is funnier

queen laurel
#

Irl?

shell mason
#

In the 40k

storm jungle
#

God no lol

#

they just get shot

arctic talon
#

Psykers get treated decently before they're fed to Big E

#

nto exactly death row

#

for 40k LMAO

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

they just get their heads blown off on the spot usually

storm jungle
#

we literally only do last meals IRL because we are human beings with some courtesy lol

queen laurel
#

Straight up execution

#

And if you're very lucky you will get turned into a cyborg with no will

arctic talon
#

I think this guy doesn't take prisoners

#

just saying

rocky gale
#

Pretty sure that Psykers aren't all actually taken to Terra, like it's mentioned in the lore but it's not necessarily true. Some books talk about them being sent to Scholastia Psykana to be sanctioned and trained in places that aren't Terra and make no mention of Terra at all.

shell mason
#

Oh perhaps some planets in the imperium do last meals

arctic talon
#

probably

storm jungle
#

Doubt it

queen laurel
#

With the size of the imperium

arctic talon
#

there's always a chance

queen laurel
#

Yeah they probably don't bring every single one in terra

#

Unless somehow they can in which case what the hell

arctic talon
#

either way most worlds you'll be lucky if an enforcer doesn't break your knees for looking at a noble funny

rocky gale
#

I can't remember if they mention being taken to Terra in the Witchbringer novel, but the Scholastia Psykana they train in definitely isn't on Terra.

shell mason
#

what is the rogue traders table top?

#

is it like dnd?

arctic talon
#

Its a d100 system

#

so no

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

more like call of cthulu

queen laurel
#

Yeah it is a different system

#

A bit more complex

#

Or a lot more depending who you are asking

shell mason
#

Ah

rocky gale
#

It's fun though

leaden pilot
#

Speaking of RPGs

#

How is Wrath and Glory?

rocky gale
#

Play a Psyker and risk blowing up the first time you use your powers.

arctic talon
#

its fine

#

overall

queen laurel
#

Heard it's pretty good

arctic talon
#

Maldictum has some funny ass perils lol

#

my favorite is the sky turns red and starts raining blood

rocky gale
#

Oops you perilled, it now rains blood within a 15 mile radius for the next week.

#

Yee

shell mason
#

Meh at this point im looking into trench crusade again

queen laurel
#

It's apparently a d6 dice pool system

shell mason
#

the lore is interesting

#

as it pulls some from 40k

arctic talon
#

d6 pool is weird

queen laurel
#

Yeah i saw the stats are arranged it and didn't look that fun

#

I mainly downloaded it for the ork stuff

rocky gale
#

I remember the psyker in one game peril'ing, and getting blood rain, the DM had already described the area as being prone to flooding and becoming marshy, so when we got that Peril it became a bloody mud bowl

shell mason
#

ah

rocky gale
#

Crew all desperately trying to wrestle orks in the blood mud

leaden pilot
#

I got it from a bundle with other Warhammer settings rpgs, and I've been kinda wanting to gather up some friends and playing it

arctic talon
#

summoning a greater daemon via perils is fucking hilarious

#

it also is a TPK

#

but like

#

you have to get so insanely unlucky its funny

rocky gale
shell mason
#

Meh will and a way

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

No

#

well

#

sorta

queen laurel
#

Well fuck

arctic talon
#

in malidictum you can try banking up as much warp charge as possible lol

#

you will probably just die

celest dome
#

You can overcast

arctic talon
#

from discharging it all at once

celest dome
#

Which make you roll multiple dices in fantasy

#

And you take the worst iirc

shell mason
#

Ah

arctic talon
rocky gale
#

I remember once my character and the Captain saw that one of the crew was in danger from a Daemonhound, so we both burst in and tried to kill the beast to save the day, we both completely missed every single shot for three rounds before the crewmember found a pistol and shot it herself.

arctic talon
queen laurel
shell mason
#

Homie asking me are paladins are like primarchs from 40k

arctic talon
#

Paladins are not like Primarchs

#

💀

queen laurel
#

So you can just accidentally summon a blood thirster when you're fighting orks

arctic talon
#

smh

shell mason
#

Was talking about trench crusade

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

well that makes more sense

#

lol

shell mason
#

yea

arctic talon
#

these are all the really bad options

#

for perils

celest dome
#

Mass possession is very funny

arctic talon
#

I agree

leaden pilot
#

Damn

shell mason
#

mhm

leaden pilot
#

Afaik the worst miscast in Fantasy is that you deal 1d10 damage to everyone in a radius depending on Willpower, and if there's no one in that radius, your head just explodes

arctic talon
#

the warp phenomena effects are generally funnier

storm jungle
#

My favorite has to be the one where uh

queen laurel
# arctic talon

You can do some incredibly funny things with the falling upwards

storm jungle
#

you can pick your psykers's trauma that he got from the scholastica

#

lmao

queen laurel
#

Like grabbing an enemy and slamming his nut sack on the nearby railing

leaden pilot
#

It has 2 in Core rulebook, and another in Winds of Magic, hasn't it?

celest dome
#

Minor, normal and major.
Then the divine table

shell mason
viral halo
queen laurel
#

YES SIR

leaden pilot
#

Oh okay

#

I was thinking about 4ed

celest dome
#

Haven't played 4ed

#

This is the +1

dusk patrol
#

These are a bunch from the 40k rpgs

#

If you get sanctioned and bound when you roll on the top chart you can have one option you’ll always be able to revert to if you don’t roll 75+

#

Also eventually there’s a roll 2 and pick one talent. It’s thankfully somewhat hard to trigger phenomena unless you have some dumbfuck who pushes every time he casts jfc

#

Idira moment

arctic talon
#

nah I'd win

dusk patrol
#

Ironically Blood Rain is one of the worst options for how much lower it is than the higher ones

crystal forum
#

i like the locked in one

#

so you can say you're locked in

dusk patrol
#

Psychic mirror is also potentially catastrophic

#

Especially with Deathwatch where you can get to 13 PR or higher on casts

queen laurel
# dusk patrol

This one is from warhammer 40k imperium maledictum right

#

Another one of cubicle 7

dusk patrol
#

Nah the FFG games

#

Maledictum probably has a very similar chart though

queen laurel
#

What's ffh

#

FFG

dusk patrol
#

Fantasy Flight Games

#

They did the original ones

#

Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Only War

#

They, sometimes detrimentally, shared a lot of the same stuff between the four

queen laurel
#

Ffg and cubicle 7

#

Is ffg still working with games workshop

storm jungle
#

Nope

celest dome
#

More than 2 makes

storm jungle
#

they dumped em way long ago for Star Wars

queen laurel
#

So it's only cubicle 7 and others

storm jungle
#

Cubicle is their main one rn

#

FFG's thing with GW was pretty big tho

queen laurel
#

Hmm I see

storm jungle
#

they made like every existing 40k RPG

dusk patrol
#

They had Alan Bligh work closely with them

storm jungle
#

^

#

one of the reason why it was so good

dusk patrol
#

But he died and other stuff happened so yeah

celest dome
#

Black industry
FFG
C7

dusk patrol
#

The balance wasn’t always good but the fluff was some of the best for any RPG I’ve played

storm jungle
#

after Bligh's death most 40k side content kinda fluttered out yeah, its why we dont really see more cool side-narrative stuff anymore

queen laurel
#

Besides cubicle 7 any other rpg companies working with games workshop

celest dome
#

RN no

dusk patrol
#

I don’t think so

queen laurel
#

Damn cubicle 7 is carrying the rpg side for warhammer huh

dusk patrol
#

I personally prefer the FFG systems so I always play those mostly

#

But the Cubicle 7 ones aren’t bad at all

queen laurel
#

Well anyway right now

dusk patrol
#

Maledictum is very much Dark Heresy updated

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

And expanded

queen laurel
#

Compared to ffg

storm jungle
#

Cubicle's stuff is... a lot more streamlined, but it helps because its for newcomers.

dusk patrol
#

The uh

storm jungle
#

Unfortunately their lore side of things is just very "default"

#

but again, newcomers

queen laurel
#

Yeah i did get right on that

dusk patrol
#

Wrath and Glory is designed for a lot

#

It’s built for lots of options

storm jungle
#

Yeah its suppose to be an access point

#

compared to like FFG rpgs, which got like bible amounts of lore

queen laurel
#

Very straightforward and easy to understand

dusk patrol
#

But imo I kinda enjoyed the “constraints” and lore FFG did

#

It didn’t always work but the stuff was so good

storm jungle
#

Yeah i prefer it

dusk patrol
#

Maledictum takes a bit more after that

queen laurel
#

So cubicle 7 if i want to play a simpler system

#

Go ffg if i want to go crazy

#

And don't mind the more complex stuff

dusk patrol
#

The main strength of FFG is all the systems connect really easily

#

With minimal changes

queen laurel
#

Is there an ffg game where you can play as an ork

dusk patrol
#

All four RPGs

dusk patrol
#

You could make it work in others too

queen laurel
#

Good enough

dusk patrol
#

Only War would be pretty simple

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Rogue Trader also has my favorite unique talent description for the Ork Kommando advancement

#

Although unfortunately it’s really not that great but it is funny

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Also there’s a Ork talent called “More fer me!” Which gives you a weapon skill bonus when you’re surrounded/outnumbered

queen laurel
#

What are the other ork classes

#

I would assume Boyz would be the most basic

dusk patrol
#

Mekboy

#

Ork Buccanner is the basic one for RT

#

And it kinda becomes its own thing by the end

queen laurel
#

Oh neat

#

What's the name of the rule book where i can read about the classes and stuff

dusk patrol
#

Orks have a unique skill where they can use intimidation for command skill checks so

#

It becomes a strength check

#

As opposed to a fellowship which they suck at

#

And hilariously the Ork Freebooter can become one of the best command skill classes by far

#

Because you can eventually apply that to any human allies too

queen laurel
lone quest
queen laurel
#

It's very lore accurate and friendly

dusk patrol
#

It does make sense

queen laurel
#

Want to read it

dusk patrol
#

Uh it’s a supplement for Rogue Trader

#

Into the Storm I think

#

There’s another psyker themed one which has Weirdboy rules too

#

Why a Rogue Trader would let a Weirdboy on their ship

#

I do not know

#

But they can become quite powerful and actually more stable as a psyker but it takes awhile

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

They have a mechanic where their focusing skill gets stronger the more allied orks are around them

queen laurel
#

Because they feed of the energy

dusk patrol
#

And as you rank up you unlock more Grots that follow you around

#

For all classes

#

The more you have the higher willpower

#

And other benefits

queen laurel
#

Oh yeah this is the rogue trader game right

dusk patrol
#

Anyways Weirdboyz get stronger and stronger the more Grots and Orks you get

#

Also there’s funny mechanics like Ork weapons are unreliable to everyone except Orks who make them reliable.

young pecan
#

I never really spared the thought that an ork would ever hang out with a human

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

And Ork Mekboyz can try to modify stuff but there’s a good chance you break it

#

But even when you do it supercharges it for a short time

queen laurel
#

Ok

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Yeah that definitely sounds fun

dusk patrol
#

Quite bad

#

But that also goes for most psykers

#

If you roll and enough you can at worst summon a daemon prince on your location

#

Which all have absurd stats

queen laurel
#

Can it drop a sick piece of loot

dusk patrol
#

Depends on the dm

queen laurel
#

Yeah i expected that

#

Some might have a good mood some might just f*** you over

dusk patrol
#

The Changer of Shapes has a really cool mechanic too

#

So there’s things called Fate Points

#

which you can use for different things

#

Mostly re roll

queen laurel
#

Ffg transfer the game management to cubicle 7

dusk patrol
#

Yes I believe so

queen laurel
#

After they stop for it

dusk patrol
#

They sell them all now iirc

queen laurel
#

Yeah because it says it's cubical seven but there's one of ffg

#

But the rules should be the same right

#

Unless cubicle 7 made some adjustments

dusk patrol
#

Some of the systems got changed in later books

#

Like unnatural stats

#

They went from being 2x or more modifiers to just adding points

queen laurel
#

Okay i'm just going to grab the core rule book

#

I'm going to find the ork classes

dusk patrol
#

I’d recommend it

#

They’re really cool

queen laurel
#

In the expansion tab

dusk patrol
#

But the Orks aren’t in the base one

#

Into the Storm has the Orks

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

You can also find these pdfs online

queen laurel
#

Very fun reads but

#

Wrath and glory is lacking on the ork class

dusk patrol
#

Yeah sadly

queen laurel
#

Only a boy Nob and kommando

#

So rogue trader is my best shot

arctic talon
#

Wrath and Glory is sorta unfinished still no?

dusk patrol
#

Yeah they got base Freebooter, Kommando/Mekboy advancement options for them, and a Weirdboy as an option separately

queen laurel
#

Yeah looking at it i didn't see a lot of expansions compared to like

#

Soulbound

#

It seems cubicle 7 really focuses on that one

winter vessel
#

anyone here see that new Necromunda model called the Malstrain Coalescence?

storm jungle
#

Yeah we posted it a bit uptop

winter vessel
#

yep. took a while to scroll but found it. man that is gross, but so cool.

rocky gale
#

This one

#

And they said it's just one of several types coming

#

Genuinly disturbing flood monster

storm jungle
#

a friend of mine said it looks like Captain Keyes

#

lmao

winter vessel
#

but yeah, proto-gravemind keyes is more saddening

outer wave
#

It'd be cool if the nids could make Norn Queens or synapse creatures out of humans

storm jungle
#

Flood Grindset

winter vessel
#

I know a good Spartan that can straighten them out:

rose thorn
outer wave
#

God please leave me alone

storm jungle
#

the AI pfp checks out

crystal forum
#

mfw ftl travel is impossible by any means according to current physics so we'll never have cool sci fi battles in space

outer wave
#

ITS ALWAYS LIKE

#

TWO OR THREE ACCOUNTS THAT DO THIS SHIT

#

Going "Oh erm, how nihilistic of you??? Humanity belongs to the stars!!"

#

Like maybe the original account was trying to be that but I dunno, its just saying we're pretty small

#

Not that your life is god damn worthless

crystal forum
#

sci fi never even actually does big scale when you think about it

crystal forum
#

like the largest known objects are chains of galaxies

sacred ginkgo
#

If you haven't already

crystal forum
#

there's an observable hole in space that is theorized to be the biggest explosion we will ever record

#

it's literally a spot where there's entire galaxies missing

crystal forum
sacred ginkgo
#

It actually talks about the logistics of realistic space battles

#

And the concept of how a full universe would work instead of an empty one

#

Its also a good series

dusk patrol
#

It’s just often kinda boring or hard to do and make interesting

crystal forum
#

name me some examples

dusk patrol
#

Xeelee Sequence, Culture series, All Tomorrows

#

There’s others too but those are some I can think of which did scale well

storm jungle
#

Jay is just illiterate

#

get him

dusk patrol
#

It’s just hard to write a narrative with characters doing that scale

#

So people make it simpler

#

Which is fine

storm jungle
#

They should be flogged on the streets inşallah 🙏

snow fern
#

I mean, if you look at the sheer task writing down and reading about historic global events like the World Wars, it's already a mess trying to keep everything together, then you upscale it by a factor of x99999~ like at some point you just gotta stop, there's only so many years in a life

#

My sci-fi stuff stays in 1 solar system at least

#

Or a cluster of planets you can't super deviate from

dusk patrol
#

Often times, less is more

Have you read it

storm jungle

He said he didnt

#

crystal forum
#

i did read that other weird ass biology sci fi book

dusk patrol
#

We don’t accept YouTube credits here, only money first hand reading

crystal forum
#

i do like the time scale thing

#

but doesnt the book only take place in our galaxy?

#

i kinda had the idea once that it would be cool if a sci fi was written where aliens have a completely different scale of time than us to compensate for the travel time between stellar bodies

snow fern
#

I found a star wars book that went into all the pre disney droids in star wars at Cape Canaveral, really cool stuff actually

storm jungle
#

Star Wars lore is great when it has nothing to do with the actual plot

snow fern
#

I was so salty we never saw an actual Basilisk War Droid in Kotor

#

Tank sized metal lions that rip apart everything while dropping in from high orbit

#

I love Rule of Cool

shell mason
#

what I miss?

#

OH heres something

#

Star wars is overrated

storm jungle
#

Its the biggest cultural sci-fi juggernaut in fiction so yes

#

thats not a hot opinion KEKW_ogryn

crystal forum
#

i'm trying to be a doomer here

Nah but this is Star wars force unleashed was completely stupid in hindsight.....

Yet people give it more service than a lady of the night

and yet we'll never explore the observable universe

There will be a point where the stars will no long be visible in our sky

Do people hate Force Unleashed?

#

actually?

storm jungle

Not really

shell mason
#

Ayo chat you seeing this?

storm jungle
#

I DIDNT SAY NOTHING

shell mason
storm jungle
#

also fun game

#

thats kind of it

snow fern
#

Like he pulled down a star destroyer and since we know he dies in the end it's great, it's a fun game where you goof off with force powers and ragdoll storm troopers

#

peak star wars

shell mason
#

I'd play lego star wars before playing force unleashed

snow fern
#

Play both then?

shell mason
#

WHICH IS ALSO OVERRATED AS HELL

storm jungle
#

NO ITS NOT

#

LEGO STAR WARS IS GREAT

shell mason
#

And I mean that with my soul

snow fern
#

Do Star Wars fans like Star Wars?
It's this Egoraptor with Sonic all over again?

storm jungle
#

Yes they do

#

the problem is star wars is being parasitically bled to death by corporations

snow fern
#

yes

#

but Force Unleashed is over 10 years old

shell mason
#

So is lego star wars

storm jungle
#

Its very much a setting you should just have fun in and ignore everything else, it literally has its 30k era to mid-eras to modern era and whatever, lots of room to play with

#

it very much suffers from popularity

#

and its never gonna change alas

snow fern
#

I kinda hope outcasts is good, but it's also Ubisoft

#

and I don't even want to see a lightsaber let alone become a jedi

remember every background character in star wars has gotten lore

snow fern

Normal people in star wars are cool

shell mason
#

Now I will say this

#

I will glaze the fuck outta fallout NV

snow fern
#

My main issue with NV is downloading the damn stability mods, otherwise it's great

shell mason
#

Meh play it on console

crystal forum
#

why

snow fern
#

game is held together with glue and balsa wood

shell mason
#

it handles pretty well on xbox one

crystal forum
#

it's on xbox one?

shell mason
#

due to backwards capabilitie

i still have it on xbox 360

You can play Xbox to xbox 360 games on your xbox one

You got Humanity, The Imperium of Man, which is a galaxy spanning empire of theocratic fascists collapsing under it's own weight.
The Orks, space mushrooms with Cockney accents that love fighting and literally nothing else.
The Eldar which are rude space elves that are supposedly dying off
Dark Eldar which are the same rude space elves but edgier
Necrons are ancient space egyptians with crazy sci fi tech
Tau are gundam anime fans that really don't understand how small they are in the galaxy, the rail guns are nice though.
Tyranids are legally distinct Xenomorphs doing their best Hungry Hungry Hippos impression(Boring af imo)
Space Marines are genetically modified humans with bigger guns and better armor
Chaos Space Marines are the same but edgier
Chaos is Hell as depicted on a scremo metal album turned up to 666

damn, warp travelling giant crocodiles is wild, weird they say the meat is unappetizing, gator is delicious, we let ours soak in a mix of milk and hot sauce for a few days to make it less chewy then batter and fry it, delicious.

i ate croc only once

#

i remember it being chewy

Yah it is, that's why we soaked it in milk and hot sauce. Mighta been other stuff too, something acidic to help soften the meat.
It also unironically tastes a lot like chicken

Are tech priests vox communicators or whatever it’s called that allows them to speak lingua technis and can’t mechanicus always a bulky faceplate or orally implanted grille? Or is it more frequently a internal implant in like the vocal chords? I’m trying to design some concept art for mechanicus characters

crystal forum

#

Also with this type of implant can it be turned on and off at will to speak in human tones? Or do they always speak gothic in a sort of grating mechanical manner once implanted?

#

I know most don’t usually speak gothic unless necessary

More this specific rumour KEKW_ogryn

You mean we can get better models?

Also Fantasy was AoS to be more in line with 40k

#

So how could 40k be AoSed

shadow plover
#

Anyone who believes that needs to learn some critical thinking

leaden pilot
#

Why tf would they make 7 chaos gods anyways
4 is perfect, and if they would want to expand it 8 would be best cause chaos star
Why would they do any of this, they would have no reason to do that lol

People will believe anything they see on 4chan it seems

Also joke is on GW

Something doesn't seem right here

plush mason
#

is beam width?

green loom
#

I think so

crystal forum
#

people still buy 40k stuff as opposed to fantasy is what people keep forgetting

plush mason
#

yeah its the overall width of a ship

crystal forum
#

since you stopped washing your hands

#

dirty boy

plush mason
#

so the ship is 6k meters long and 1k kilometers wide

#

so 100k meters wide

#

wtf

#

that has to be a typo or something

leaden pilot
#

Prolly

#

I'd guess that they wanted to write 1 kilometer or 1000 meters but somehow ended up writing both

storm jungle
plush mason
#

the ship is an avenger class grand cruiser with are normally 7.5 kilometers long

#

this one is modified so it is only 6k kilometers

#

its literally just a cut down version of the standard model

#

holy fuck the ships in 40k are beyond huge

It just doesnt happen for plot convenience or because the fortress has void-shields

plush mason

so what kind of damage could it do?

celest dome

This thing

plush mason
#

a massive high explosive shell fired at near the speed of light would be devastating

queen laurel

it's probably gonna destroy the target and leave nothing

storm jungle
#

Yeah its kind of hard to like, describe a massive explosion

#

lmao

plush mason
#

ngl it sounds like it would be almost exterminatus level

queen laurel
#

i would wager around the damage of a very strong nuke

plush mason
#

per what i know of the nova cannon its literally a small supernova in terms of impact

#

but yeah not nearly full exterminatus levels, still more than enough to wipe out the whole battlefield

leaden pilot
#

Also dimensions Avenger Grand Cruiser dimensions from Lexicanum:

plush mason
#

its meter<kilometer

#

so 6k kilometers is 600k meters

#

wait no are right

#

yeah my dumbass American brain got fried lol

storm jungle

Here it is on the ship chart, top right

#

it is still massive

almost ark mechanicus

but those are like 11km

It's a new edition

i only read it for the lore

Like how all the 9th edition 40k Codex's stopped being valid when 10th came along

#

They'll release a basic Index for each faction at the release of the new edition and then gradually release the Tomes for each faction expanding their rules, same as 10th

She's a Telepath, she basically projects those images into your brain, so it acts like a simulation

rocky gale
#

Grey Knights are powerful, but there are other more powerful psykers in both the Imperium and Xenos

solid oyster
rocky gale
#

What?

solid oyster
#

like, wouldn't it make sense to make the most powerful psykers the grey knights

#

I am new to lore

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Oh, the Grey Knights are primarily Daemon Hunters, they are all Psykers but they're not inherently the strongest Psykers

queen laurel
#

Yes but their librarians are definitely powerful

rocky gale
#

Yea

queen laurel
#

but there are still more powerful stuff out there

rocky gale
#

But Some of the Primarchs, Malcador and other individuals are stronger, including certain Space Marine Librarians from the main chapters

queen laurel
#

yes and a Lord of change will find them funny

#

Maybe even hilarious

rocky gale
#

Plus Eldar can be ridiculously strong Psykers

queen laurel
#

they just hold back because they attract the attention of slaanesh

#

very close too of them are orks

rocky gale
#

But even then, the baseline Eldar is more psyker than the baseline Human

queen laurel
#

every single one of them have a psychic field

arctic talon
#

Grey Knights do not want super super strong psykers

#

generally

#

They want strong psykers

rocky gale
#

Infact the baseline Eldar might have more Psychic potential, than some low tier Imperial Psykers

arctic talon
#

they do, the lowest tier of imperial psykers are

#

exceedingly weak/useless

#

which isn't a bad thing for their longevity tbh

queen laurel
#

which they can use to make stuff that won't work somehow work and they can literally use it to turn their psykers funny

#

but of course it's also the most volatile

#

A lot of ork weird boys tend to have their heads explode

rocky gale
arctic talon
#

The strongest sanctioned imperial psykers are either found in space marine chapters or the Astra Telepathica

#

either or

rocky gale
#

Or amongst Inquisitors if we accept the kinda absurd claims about Ravenors power levels

arctic talon
#

Didn't ravenor get sanctioned via the telepathica

#

I know he technically isn't a part of it anymore but he still did like come from it

#

iirc

storm jungle
#

Ravenor is inconsistent since Abnett says hes an Alpha iirc?

#

but Alphas are like walking Dr Manhattan-tier threats most of the time

dusk patrol
#

Beta tends to be the peak for stable psykers but there’s always exceptions and mostly GW doesn’t quantify the strongest psykers

storm jungle
