radiant lance
#

They're untouchable by most factions because they just make matter around them just vanish as a "shield"

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

Paracausal bullshit wins the day

#

tbh

lone quest
#

But who would win warhammer or destiny?

arctic talon
#

idfk

#

Pick your favorite lol

radiant lance
#

Probably just the black fleet

arctic talon
#

the mechanics of the universe don't work with each other

#

realistically

#

but yeah The Black Fleet/The Witness/The Dread/Taken

#

are gona take it all

queen laurel
#

celestial orrery if they can get a scan of the universe of destiny i think but even that seems stupid

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

its not like blowing up the stars

#

would stop the black fleet

#

or hive

#

or vex

queen laurel
#

Of course it wouldn't

arctic talon
#

it would kill everyone else but lmao

radiant lance
#

Ontological weapons and the ahamkara are kinda ridiculous

#

And whatever the fuck the vex do

#

The vex are just an intrinsic part of the universe. You can't get rid of them

#

There's no real way for any Warhammer faction to actually win against vex

arctic talon
#

The Witness screaming WE ARE THE FIRST KNIFE is hilarious

#

it gets so angry

radiant lance
#

I like the shift of pronouns at the end

#

"we" to "I" since we cut all of the souls away

#

It's amazing how the vex haven't completely fucked the guardians

arctic talon
#

The vex just don't care it would seem

#

lol

radiant lance
#

If they brought down the hammer, they'd be fucked

arctic talon
#

the only time they've brought out proper combat units

#

was in Oryx's throneworld

#

Oryx's children trying to clean up a tiny mess of a invasion trillions strong before dad gets home

radiant lance
#

Yeah the vex and black fleet can probably just solo the entire Warhammer world

#

They're just not possible to realistically fight

green loom
#

Or maybe they wouldn't

arctic talon
#

funniest thing is that all of Oryx's favorite kids are the ones he abused in some brutal manner lol

#

Nokris is his most hated child yet Nokris didn't get abused at all lol

radiant lance
#

Yeah hive show love to each other by testing their strength

#

If they didn't love you, they'd leave you weak

arctic talon
#

Mfw you give your newly born son a sword

radiant lance
#

In America, we give our newborns guns thank you very much

arctic talon
#

And throw him into a pit full of other starving children telling him that if he dies he didn’t deserve to live in the first place

#

Also Ir Halek and Ir Anuk technically being the same baby before oryx uh

#

Cleaved them in half because he was bored

green loom
#

What's the deal with sword logic anyway

arctic talon
#

You kill you gain strength

#

Torture, killing, tricking people, learning

#

All of this physically and mentally makes you stronger

crisp heath
#

Can't wait till we kill each other off and eventually return to the age of the sword

#

I just need to post this somewhere because stuff like this just boggles the mind. Context: I gave a tip on how a gamemode works in warframe. After the fact i get a dm that says this.

#

They just blocked me lol

arctic talon
#

💀

solid oyster
#

I have a theory

arctic talon
#

Let’s hear it

solid oyster
#

What if, the entire Warhammer 40K Universe is ants

#

Because that explains the number of deaths

#

The war for the half eaten pizza slice that Dave accidentally dropped (10 Billion Dead)

#

Sounds familiar?

#

Except with maybe, the long ass title

#

And the chaos gods would be ant eaters, because they get attracted to a spot where a lot of ants died, and they basically prey on ants

#

And to compliment my theory

#

Wait fuck I can't upload images or videos

rocky gale

arctic talon
#

They’re smaller rhulks lol

winter vessel
#

I like their designs

arctic talon
#

They’re all women what did bungie mean by this

#

Jokes aside guess Lubreans technically aren’t extinct now

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

They’re both female according to the dev team

winter vessel
#

oh right, the voice too. I remember, while El Tormento (i hate these guys) has a deeper rough voice.

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

fun fact Bungie added that Subjugators/Tormentors laugh at you

#

Tormentors laugh at you if they supress you out of a super/jump

#

and Subjugators laugh at you if they suspend/freeze you

#

the dread are super BM when they kill you lol

winter vessel
#

when they deny my super, i pretty much lose all rationality at that point. i just pull out Ergo Sum and start swinging like a mad man

arctic talon
#

lol

#

Either way I love how the Dread act when they kill you

#

they're so full of themselves

winter vessel
#

they got that weird ass hoity toity sound anime characters make when they mock laugh you "Ohohoho" gestures with palm to exaggerate

wintry scarab
#

One last thing about Space marine 2. There seems to be no visor colour customization 😦 That sucks.

arctic talon
#

is there none?

#

oof

wintry scarab
#

No red 😦

winter vessel
#

to bad. i want one where the visor is just deep black to indicate its not working. "Brother! I can't see shit!"

wintry scarab
# wintry scarab No red 😦

So now, just like the first game, you basically cannot be a ultramarine sergeant. Nor can you make the blood angels.

#

Unless other helmets change the visors. But thats still very limiting.

dire apex
wintry scarab
#

Also while sad we have to wait even longer, i hope fatshark are cooking with this one

wintry scarab
# dire apex How does the image confirm no red?

Thats the image for your colours you can change for your helmet. It seems the red visor colour the player has equipped at the time is not there. You later get to see a green reiver that still has his green lenses even though it looks strange. Granted i could just be missing something. But from what i see, there is no visor customization.

dire apex
#

Oh you’re specifically talking about visor color

#

Gotcha

wintry scarab
azure knoll
#

does visor color even change anything? always took is as a "evil being's eyes" stylistic choice, contrast for most chapters from an art standpoint and "some weird technical shenanigans; because the tech improvements the helmet provides works best with a red visor"

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Yeah I can’t recall an notable differences in the colors

leaden pilot
#

I've just learned that fantasy orks sometimes keep snotlings as pets and teach them fetch or something
I love it so much

crystal forum
#

they also eat them

outer wave
#

They mostly eat and bully them

#

Runthurds just coerce them as training

crystal forum
#

i think i'm going to buy the collector's edition of space marine 2

#

i have never wasted this much money on something i do not believe in

#

but i just KNOW people will talk about this dumb fucking game for the next 5 years so i will make SURE i can laugh at everybody else

thin turret
#

does WE berzerkers use bolters?

outer wave
#

Yep they can

#

They just prefer melee combat

thin turret
#

it looks funny for me for some reason when I watch this part KEKhands

outer wave
#

Well actually Im sure theres different opinions on ranged combat in general within the WE ranks

#

So some may just prefer using bolters over the yoinky sploinky

arctic talon

One of old abbadons good friends was a WE Devastator during the scouring

celest dome
queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Autocannon

queen laurel
#

but it's very rare for them to use actually range weapons right

#

Or is it one of those they use it but people just really like the melee too much and we just kind of you know put them on the side\

dusk patrol
#

Not super, they do tend to use melee but

#

It’s not that uncommon

queen laurel
#

Preferring to just you know turn your enemy into a funny looking pancake

dusk patrol
#

They still have mobile artillery companies and stuff

#

Tank Warbands

#

And so on, it just depends

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

The no range rule isn’t really a thing

#

Magic we have some examples

#

They just tend to like to get up close

queen laurel
#

like a cannon shotgun attached to a terminator

#

i mean skull cannons are a thing

storm jungle
#

Even the O.G cornfield berserkers had boltpistols on one hand and whatnot

queen laurel
#

You can't really you know beat a fortress to death with giant axes

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much, the consensus is as long as blood is spilled hes happy

#

Melee just gives more extra XP

queen laurel
#

He's also a God of War and as much as he's not gonna like it range is part of war

storm jungle
#

Accurate

worn zinc
#

anyone here got modding experience

#

i had an idea of making quake 2 where you are fighting dark mechanicus

storm jungle
#

Prob wrong server to ask

queen laurel
#

This is a lore chat for warhammer 40k my guy i'm sorry but you're going to look for somewhere else

normal light
celest dome
#

I'll be honest, I see it as a stupid thing that the World Eater Jakhals are bared from ranged weapons, if anything they should be the ranged and the CSM be melee only

#

(baring exceptions)

storm jungle
#

to be fair that is just a tabletop thing

#

its not like theres a galactic force forbidding them from using guns

orchid lark
#

Nothing stopping you from having a seperate detachment for ranged

dusk patrol
#

In lore there’s examples of basically every exception you can think of, it’s just the tabletop is a game and it has to be balanced

#

There’s tanker berserkers, heavy weapons guys beserkers, zen master beserkers

#

And so on

astral finch
#

Is it me or is this game's story pretty much.

"Look men, heresy."
"Aight, it's killin' time."
"Yes."

celest dome
#

For DT ? Or 40k in general

queen laurel
celest dome
#

It's not completely wrong, if you don't read it further

astral finch
#

DT yea

#

What is there to read further?
"Atoma has AIDS"
"That is bad"
"Yes, lets shoot the AIDS"

How much dmg does it do?

storm jungle
rocky gale
#

Important 40K lore update, I’m now able to drive a forklift

celest dome
#

Are you able to, or certified to

rocky gale
#

Yes

queen laurel
#

the power of being forklift certified is something

celest dome
#

Only power that chaos fear

outer wave
#

Forklift drift into their frontline and watch them scream

fierce panther
#

How accurate are elite guardsmen?

#

I know there are some small spec ops guardsmen regiment that got money of a rich kid but also the skills to back it

storm jungle
#

Are you talking about ones that are rich people regiments or something else

queen laurel
#

yeah there's like alot of choices you can pick

thorn zenith
#

im gonna say more elite than our current elite snipers, since they most likely have tech that enhances them

thorn zenith
#

KEKW_ogryn gonads destruction extraordinaire

queen laurel
fierce panther
#

the Catachan Jungle Fighters seems to be one

outer wave
#

The Mordian Guard IIRC are a bit like that

queen laurel
outer wave
#

Rich elites that like to look fancy more than actually doing any fighting

queen laurel
#

they are just good at what they are doing which is guerrilla warfare

#

something that fits the bill is Tempestus scions

fierce panther
storm jungle
#

they arent "rich" they just got special equipment

queen laurel
crystal forum
queen laurel
#

Inquisitors especially employ them a lot

#

And yes of course they have the best equipment around

storm jungle
# fierce panther regiments that got good gear but low casualty rates

Theres no regiment like that really.

Catachan regiments can get totally wiped out or die in the hundreds like anyone else, they are all still human it mostly just depends on the warzone they are sent to regarding their expertise

Tempestus Scions are not a part of the guard also, they are special forces.

crystal forum
#

good gear and low casualties?

#

kasrkin maybe? but that's not a regiment

storm jungle
#

There isnt really "low casualty" with any of them, they are just smaller in number and can still get wiped out.

crystal forum
#

you'll find elite units that stand out in a lot of regiments

#

usually veteran squads

#

even krieg has them

queen laurel
#

i think the closest are you going to get is the solar aux or whatever the **** name was

crystal forum
#

even solar auxilia die in droves

queen laurel
#

yeah

crystal forum
#

it's kind of the whole guardsmen thing

thorn zenith
raven stone
#

Solar Aux was pretty much “Guard but on steroids”

#

arguably with less support, given the lack of Valkyries…

crystal forum
#

i dont even think solar auxilia were elite trained, they just had really good equipment

storm jungle
#

They were elite trained

crystal forum
#

alright then

storm jungle
#

regiments still existed in 30k

#

just not at the forefront

#

they were basically militia-esque

thorn zenith
#

Does tanith first and only get the "entire battalion slaughtered in the first 3 minutes of the engagement" treatment too?

storm jungle
#

Yep

#

they get non-tanith replacement troops as the books progress

thorn zenith
#

Ah, so there are certain named characters and faceless goons serving to get oofed like the other units

storm jungle
#

Yep just like any guard book

crystal forum
#

tanith have major named character syndrome

storm jungle
#

Kind of

#

some main cast members still die here and there in each book

#

sometimes REALLY undramatically

crystal forum
#

i will receive flak for this but dan writes that series like it's some random space marine chapter

#

still a good series i'm not hating it

storm jungle
#

I mean you can say this about any 40k book/series tho

#

having the side main characters die is preferable to just Gaunt dying in Book 1 because a grenade fell on his lap

crystal forum
#

yes but he also kills fucking chaos space marines

#

like that's normal

green loom
#

Creed murders terminators

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

creed is cadian

storm jungle
#

That makes no difference

queen laurel
#

So?

storm jungle
#

chaos marines can die like anyone else

green loom
#

He slideshot's a justaerin in his eye slits

crystal forum
#

so cadians need that morale boost because those losers lost their planet

#

anyways who else can't wait to kill innocent guardsmen in SM2

#

as a space marine you're allowed to do that

storm jungle
#

Why would they allow you to kill friendly NPCs

crystal forum
#

because it's fucking awesome

storm jungle
#

no

crystal forum
#

and plenty of games do it

storm jungle
#

Not really

#

even the ones that do give you a mission failed screen

crystal forum
#

they're literally worth less than dirt

storm jungle
#

what in the world

thorn zenith
#

It would be funny if a book goes on for what amounts to some ten or so chapters then the main guy suddenly and unceremoniously perishes, like "He did not have time to feel the bolter shell hitting his left eye. Jim died before it cleared his skull" then the book just ends

storm jungle
#

if only

young pecan
#

I think it should mission fail anyway because Titus wouldn't do that 😌

thorn zenith
#

Literally no final words narration or anything, dude dies and next page is the back cover, or in the case of audiobook it terminates like 1 second after saying that

young pecan
storm jungle
#

I think my favorite narration moments in some 40k books is similiar to that

#

"He sat still and waited for help. He shortly died of choking from dust a few minutes later."

thorn zenith
#

Trick the reader into expecting something and nope he just dies

storm jungle
#

its great lmao

#

40k has so many good black comedy momenst

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

thats good but i think my favorite has to be the traitor marine and darkmech priest stuck in a rhino with liquid concrete around them in the Siege and nobody knowing they are even down there.

#

and him just going

#

"Im gonna die from the lack of bodily needs in a few days, you however Astartes could outlive me for years."

#

that is just so fucked up

green loom
#

Wasn't that one of the drills

storm jungle
#

Probably. Idgaf about the Siege much and only remember the actually good moments so.

#

Me falling asleep every time a Primarch or Sigisdumbassmund is on screen

thorn zenith
#

Cue Sangussy dying like a dog because such is the fate of all imperium scums

raven stone
#

His death was certainly brutal

storm jungle
#

jokes aside I do sometimes like reading about Primarchs but ive seen them do so many Marvel-tier speeches and one liners it legit got tiring after each Siege book.

#

people soyjakking over a loyalist killing a traitor marine and going "Eat shit Traitor" (actual line) was probably the lowest form of praise ive seen from the 30k fandom

queen laurel
#

shame it doesn't happen a lot

#

How would a tech priest working under an explorator fleet get their own ship to pursue their own research independently?

celest dome
#

For Rp reason ?
Caught rumours of an STC and managed to gain authorisation by Mars to divert their ship toward said rumours

storm jungle
#

Keep in mind you also need political pull

#

otherwise they will just say "thanks for finding this, we'll send an actual expert to get it"

celest dome
#

Might send you to hunt the STC then just gun you down to let someone else claim to having found it

storm jungle
#

Holy fuck that is too true

#

not gonna lie id do it, I need that political XP

celest dome
#

If we are in 40k, I'm playing by the rules. It's not our world, morals won't feed me

storm jungle
#

Most accurate statement

crystal forum
#

now you have to fend off the needy techpriests

#

and killing a tech priest is not very recommended

storm jungle
#

It entirely is depending on what you can do

#

Not every techpriest has the clout for anyone to look after them

crystal forum
#

mechanicus will start a war with you if they think they can take from you and what you have is valuable

storm jungle
#

We arent talking about STCs

crystal forum
#

oh

storm jungle
#

we are talking about murdering another techpriest

celest dome
#

Honestly if I murder a Tech Priest, the 1st thing I'd do is find another Tech Priest and either pin the blame on them or try to sell anything the Dead Tech had to them

crystal forum
#

that's what happens in my favorite book series soul drinkers

#

what would be the best way to go from 0 to hero in 40k

celest dome
#

Hmmm

crystal forum
#

like murder enough people until you get all their stuff?

Do you have special powers? Like Psykers/Blank ?

Going back to this, the Mechanicus is way too large and fragmented to be fit under any certain "this is what you have to do".

The factors for moving up the chain of command is immense. You would need to do account almost every kind of thing you'd need in the real world and make it more grimdark and unfair.

Theres books where a single Magos has been asking his higherup to send his schematics for improving the forge-world they are at to Mars and his boss reveals that he has not been sending any of it there simply because he dislikes him for being a Biolois instead of a proper Admech sub-group of worship lol

Admech absolutely murder co-workers and do other dirty political moves to get what they want.

crystal forum

#

theres no one way of doing things

still less clout based than inquisitors

storm jungle

Entirely clout based

queen laurel

They can either turn traitor and do what they want because it suits them that way

storm jungle

if you got no clout you got nothing

celest dome

Yeah clout is everything in warhammer is everything

Anyway, last week he was really preaching up a storm, going on how "we should repent and that our actions led us away from our Master yadda yadda"
...

#

But, there was one part of his "sermon" that really rang my ears...

storm jungle
wraith quartz
#

He started acting all prophetic, saying "Thyne end times are near!!! What has caused our demise millennial ago will come again!!! Repent!! Repent!!!"

#

Thank you @crystal forum

paper haven
#

Zealots, amiright?
What did he say, specifically?

green loom
#

Did he start with "Greetings and Salutations"

wraith quartz
#

Usually when they make these rants they go to make praise and forgiveness to the Emperor, however he began preaching about some "Older God". A god who has been here with humanity before the age of stars and was a witness to the first signs of the "End Times".

#

Is this where the cool kids hang out

#

I wanna be a cool kid

wraith quartz
#

Then he said, "Beg for mercy to zigmmar!!" Or was it wyggmar... No it was yggmar.... I didn't really get to hear the last words of the sermon when he got socked but a ABSOLUTE sucker punch from a Ogryn.

Was this entire thing just to ask who Sigmar is

wraith quartz
storm jungle
#

Im actually gonna shoot you.

wraith quartz
#

But lemme ask my questions

storm jungle
#

Anyway uh

#

Sigmar is basically a big and actually nice hearted barbarian person from Warhammer Fantasy, he has zero corelation with 40k

wraith quartz
#

Ahh,loregryn

queen laurel
#

he is what the a Sigma male is

crystal forum
wraith quartz
#

What was the fantasy Franchise called?

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

queen laurel
wraith quartz
#

Oh

queen laurel
#

or if you know you want to be a ohh very weird guy about it go warhammer old world

#

but i have yet to find someone calling it warhammer the old world fully in a conversation

queen laurel
#

Besides me of course

wraith quartz
#

So does fantasy and 40k share the same elements or are they completely different from each other?

crystal forum
#

some bozos try to tie the two universes together

queen laurel
#

the chaos gods are of course the famous example

storm jungle
wraith quartz
#

Hmmm, mmmh loregryn

solid oyster
#

I realised the channels being distinct is a farce

storm jungle
#

their inclusion is more to help people who own daemon armies to play in both settings lol

All of them are general chats

storm jungle
#

Nah

arctic talon

That’s in AoS

storm jungle
#

thats after fantasy

crystal forum

#

yep

crystal forum
#

it's literally space fantasy yeah

Fantasy was always more

Same applies to AoS

#

Everyone being less evil also helps

crystal forum

The plot didn’t progress at all

#

Until they killed everyone lmao

#

and chaos fantasy is SO MUCH BETTER than 40k chaos

arctic talon
#

They’re the same

crystal forum
#

i might just be tired of space marines

arctic talon
#

Chaos warriors and CSM are so similar

#

Lol

#

CSM are just all men

#

And more racist

#

And violent

crystal forum

Chaos warriors are like

Of warhammer fantasy

#

Gav just posted an excerpt

storm jungle

lmao

arctic talon
#

He forgor

storm jungle
#

dumbass author

crystal forum

as we all know deleting something on the internet fixes all problems

queen laurel
#

They are doomed man they are doomed

arctic talon
#

Is anyone more xenophobic then the Wood elves or dwarfs in WHFB

tough haven
#

His necrons stuff was cool, unless I’m mixing up authors cause 40K authors run together for me

arctic talon

Like

#

I feel like they’re the top 2

#

Without a doubt

queen laurel

To keep it simple for human factions, who worships sigmar?

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

LOL true

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Sugmar dick

queen laurel

#

Elgi

dusk patrol
#

Dwarves are capable of getting along with other people at least, but they definitely get creative with it

arctic talon
#

Elgi isn’t offensive tbf

dusk patrol
#

Wood elves just kill mfers

arctic talon
#

For sure

wraith quartz
#

What's sigmar like?

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

is the grudge book an actual thing

arctic talon

Don’t go in the woods

that is funny

arctic talon
#

It’s literally written in blood

queen laurel
#

and very strong

arctic talon
#

As well

crystal forum
#

the santa naughty list

arctic talon
#

The book of grudges somehow survived

#

The old world exploding

#

This is not a joke

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

As it should

crystal forum
#

dwarven hate is that strong

arctic talon
#

It was a relic in AoS 2.0

#

For the deposed

queen laurel
#

you know the one where Snikch made his symbol in to disrespect him even further after the assassination

arctic talon
#

How the fuck did that book survive

queen laurel
#

Apparently forgetting the door leads to a cool moment like that

arctic talon
#

A planet exploding

#

Lol

Dumbass stuntie

You can’t call them that smh

Is there any similarities/differences between sigmar and Big E?

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

They’re old

queen laurel
dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

deal with it

storm jungle
#

The setting difference doesnt really matter

#

One is literally hitler

arctic talon
#

They both have fabulous hair

storm jungle
#

the other is a good hearted barbarian

#

lmao

arctic talon
#

Oh also both like lightning bolts

#

Ig lol

queen laurel
#

yeah

dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t put Sigmar on that kinda pedestal but he’s ok

crystal forum
#

which faction uses guns the most

dusk patrol
#

Take a guess

crystal forum
wraith quartz
#

Hmmm, mmmmh loregryn

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

In AoS dwarves

crystal forum
#

what about skaven

#

dont they have crazy guns

arctic talon
#

Skaven don’t have that many guns

#

They’re rare

wraith quartz
#

So what are the "End Times"?

crystal forum
#

oh

arctic talon
dusk patrol
queen laurel
# crystal forum what about skaven

yes they are still alive and they have guns monsters and the ability to spawn a hive city in the middle of nowhere by drilling through realms don't ask me how

storm jungle
#

Chaos destroying Fantasy because it wasnt making money

arctic talon
#

Like the way people build skaven armies mentally in WHFB

#

Is nothing like what skaven actually are like

arctic talon
#

For every ratling gunner weapon team

wraith quartz
#

Really?

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

It was like

#

60 skaven slaves

#

Lol

#

Whfb kind of fucking sucked

#

For list building

dusk patrol
#

Total Warhammer showcases it a bit better

queen laurel
#

Of course they would be OP

storm jungle
#

It showcases it by making skaven overrun your PC fan and explode

arctic talon
#

The thing that stops the skaven

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Is themselves

#

Lol

#

Oh also they made soul tracking ICBMs in AoS

queen laurel
#

Because warpstone allows you to make a nuclear bomb for some reason

arctic talon
#

That go through portals

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Tbf too most of the best slaves stuff isn’t seen much in the setting

arctic talon
#

Yeah that also

dusk patrol
#

Shaven as a force didn’t do a ton until the End Times

#

I’m not fixing it

storm jungle
#

👨‍🦲

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Skaven also were

queen laurel
#

now that is horrifying

arctic talon
#

Pretty unfun to play lol

#

If you wanted to bring skryre stuff

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Because you could just kill half your army

#

By accident turn 1

storm jungle
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Literally anything but skryre

#

If you didn’t want misfires

#

Total war warhammer isn’t accurate

#

Why didn’t my radium jezzail explode

#

And kill my weapon team

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

LMFAO

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

I will take that trade because it did give us Shego and shes a baddie

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

The show and women’s upper lips is still the biggest head scratcher of my childhood

#

Who the fuck draws people like that

storm jungle
dusk patrol
wraith quartz
#

Ok, not cause complete discourse (thou the answer may be one sided). Which do you think is better, in terms of table top, media, and/or video games, fantasy or 40k?

storm jungle
#

and Doofenschmirtz is like "YOU ALWAYS HAD THAT? I COULD HAVE DIED"

arctic talon
#

AoS is funnier to me

#

Because I get to watch more people die

arctic talon
#

Tabletop whfb fucking sucked

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

There’s a reason it was dead

storm jungle
#

WHF entirely died because it was a shit game system

queen laurel
#

How the hell do they have the features of a shark in the stinging abilities of some ******* insect

arctic talon
#

The old world is WHF

#

But good as a game system

#

And the old world

#

It’s harder to compare

#

By a lot lol

dusk patrol
#

But that might change more and more

wraith quartz
#

Hmmloregryn

dusk patrol
#

For tabletop one still exists the other is a niche thing they’re trying out again

#

After they destroyed it

arctic talon
#

Lowkey GW was never good at writing rank and file stuff

#

Lol

wraith quartz
#

What about media wise, in terms of books, furoms, and other forms of art...

arctic talon
#

40k imo

dusk patrol
#

I enjoy both but 40k imo

arctic talon
#

WHFB’s books were

#

Even more variable in quality

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Which is insane to say

storm jungle
wraith quartz
#

Ah

dusk patrol
#

AoS idk, it has its moments for me but overall I enjoy 40k stuff more mostly

arctic talon
#

Gotrek and Felix

#

Is peak whfb

#

Read it if you want whfb book

dusk patrol
#

Total Warhammer and Vermintide are by far the reasons Fantasy is relevant which is a shame since

#

It happened after the End Times

#

I like the setting though but yeah it’s jsut not as mainstream

arctic talon
#

Oh also the Teclis book is funny

storm jungle
#

Teclis banging a maiden per chapter 💀

arctic talon
#

I did not need to know about teclis’s body count

#

But here we are

#

What a book it is

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Fantasy books are weird too with like, everything is the same “level” but it isn’t

queen laurel
#

I swear to God those guys be somehow rizzing shit

arctic talon
#

Idk teclis is kind of hot

#

He’s less hot in AoS after he went uh

dusk patrol
#

Fantasy basically everyone is very reasonably kill able by just basic dudes with guns or whatever, with some exceptions

arctic talon
#

Very facist

dusk patrol
#

40k has more extremes. Especially with daemons.

arctic talon
#

Yeah

young pecan
storm jungle
#

It absolutely was

#

if those games didnt come out nobody would give a shit about WHF

arctic talon
#

It was

storm jungle
#

lmao

arctic talon
#

Yeah

dusk patrol
#

It was Total Warhammer in general but yeah it introduced a huge audience to the whole world

young pecan
#

TW3 made me very happy about lizardpeople

dusk patrol
#

And people suddenly wanted more

storm jungle
#

total war was good for the wider view

#

vermintide was good for the closer look into the actual world

#

they went hand-in-hand basically

arctic talon
#

Lizard men are hilarious in AoS

#

The fact they can just

#

descend from the stars

dusk patrol
#

Never trust a lizard man fan

#

:z_pepe_sus:

storm jungle
#

most lizardmen fan are monsterfuckers

#

i got a few

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

ohh yeah i also find it funny that Teclis who can nuke multiple armies with his magic is scared of a short man who is nothing more than a knife crime

celest dome
dusk patrol
#

Gotrek is a bit more than that

storm jungle
arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

His axe can kill basically anything

#

And he has the will and ability to use it

storm jungle
#

Gotrek literally has actual in-universe plot armor

arctic talon
#

He’s basically a demigod in AoS lol

storm jungle
#

so checks out

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

He’s absurdly magic proof

queen laurel
#

Speaking of what was so special about Felix's sword again

leaden pilot
#

Gotrek's power level grew really fucking quickly after other authors starting writing stories about him from what I've heard

arctic talon
#

It’s kind of funny

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

His power level is at least consistent in AoS

#

Ironically

dusk patrol
#

He kills greater daemons, dragons, dragon ogres, local serial killers, local Dawi maidens

celest dome
storm jungle
#

You forgot 1039103 Beastmen

dusk patrol
#

Both their swords are special yeah

arctic talon
#

Gotrek is still looking for Felix

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Well weapons

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Felix is gona be a stormcast who’s mostly dead inside

#

I can feel it

celest dome
#

Deathrattler Felix

leaden pilot
dusk patrol
#

Gotrek with Felix is like Tom without Jerry

queen laurel
#

Does it like cut stuff a lot easier because of the magic

dusk patrol
#

Just not the same

celest dome
dusk patrol
#

Rune weapons are basically power weapons

queen laurel
#

oh neat

#

i'm talking about the one he got from karak eight peaks

dusk patrol
#

They vary but generally they pierce most armor and skin and also tend to be able to kill stuff which doesn’t like to die

queen laurel
#

I am very blurry with the details but I'm pretty sure that's the one he mainly uses

#

Karagul

#

That's the one

wraith quartz
#

Right, if I ever have the time (or "MONEY") what Warhammer fantasy game should I try. Note I'm not too against turn based, but do want someone to stimulate my ever degrading attention span....

astral finch
#

Lizardmen

#

And paint them right

#

Start with the butt

wraith quartz
leaden pilot
#

If videogame then Vermintide

#

If you don't mind turns Total War Warhammer

viral halo
#

They both go on sale constantly

#

Vermintide 2 typically for under five dollars

wraith quartz
#

Hmmmm, loregryn

astral finch
wraith quartz
#

Is Vermont tide 1 also available?

viral halo
#

Yea but there’s no point in buying it

leaden pilot
#

Even if you have a short attention spam the "just one more turn" syndrome will get you quickly while playing Total Warhammer

wraith quartz
#

Ahh loregryn

arctic talon
#

Vermintide 1 uh

#

Kind of is miserable to play

viral halo
#

2 is better in every way

#

And ppl still play it

#

And it’s still supported which is crazy

tough haven
#

Not just supported, updated

dusk patrol
#

Vermintide 2 is basically a complete upgrade on all fronts

#

And I love VT1

tough haven
#

Anyways, how exactly do tech priests do vat grown and genetically engineered biological components without being put into the “heresy” corner for insinuating that the human form can be made superior biologically

#

I know that mechanical components are acceptable, and encouraged obviously

wraith quartz

Aghem ending anecdote:
