what are the power cables on hot shot lasguns
are they just eletrical cables or do they hold a liquid
they look so weirdly rubbery

they look so weirdly rubbery
thats how cables tend to look 💀
rocky gale
They're liquorice cables incase the operator gets hungry
crystal forum
i wonder what happens if they get cut
dusk patrol
Unfortunately because Grimdark it is black licorice
crystal forum
here's the real kicker though:
would it be a fiber optic situation or an eletrical cable one
storm jungle
💀
dusk patrol
I imagine it’s not made to be safely cut
paper haven
Heavy duty power cables look like that. Seeing as how, you don't actually want them to be cut.
crystal forum
like if you cut it do you just get cut in half by pure laser energy or electrocuted
paper haven
Depending on how lasguns work, cutting the cables would either just mean the gun is out of power or make it explode.
crystal forum
it probably just explodes yeah
storm jungle
electrical current/buzzing is more likely
explosion doesnt really make any sense
the real power-source is the backpack, not the cable
queen laurel
explosion doesnt really make any sense
yeah if it's going to explode you need to damage the actual battery pack behind someone
crystal forum
the power source is magic, that we know from experience at least
storm jungle
its just electricity or some more miniaturized power source from modern day
magic is more necrons/eldar thing
paper haven
Short circuit. Cutting the cable connects the internal neatral and positive wires together. Boom.
crystal forum
its just electricity or some more miniaturized power source from modern day
the way it works is "unconventional" is what i mean. like we dont know how lasguns are powered but we know that any form of energy can be converted into ammo, even heat
paper haven
Unless there's a breaker or some kind of fuse in the power pack, which considering how plasma guns work, seems unlikely.
crystal forum
dont hot shot lasguns tend to explode?

Not really

I wonder if plasma pistols are as iffy as full size plasma guns
its the same thing, just less punch
plasma weapons dont explode unless you actively abuse the firing

plasma weapons dont explode unless you actively abuse the firing

Bolt pistol on the multimelta

That art is older and comes
from someone taking the model version too literally

"I actually started with the Necrons. I wanted to write for them, so I had to find an Imperial Guard regiment to pit against them. I looked through a list of regiments for inspiration.

Dead men walking was... An odd book

It is kinda funny
queen laurel
ill honestly admit it
imagine being so inhuman that you are literally compared to a robot with no emotions

he literally went
"im gonna cosplay as krieg"
okay buddy good luck with those necrons
paper haven
Actually the necrons have more personality
storm jungle
Ironically yeah
BUT
Im pretty sure this was pre-newcrons
like a literal year or months
but not like it takes anything from the story, we never see necron "leaders" in it
dusk patrol
I mean he was doing ok before that. But it’s more he didn’t care anymore he was so dead inside by the end.
queen laurel
Im pretty sure this was pre-newcrons
What separates a newcron from an oldcron anyway

Well he's definitely dead now

And yeah i get the reasoning behind it
its more that it was just "well okay i guess"
im also a sick fuck so i guess its why it made me laugh more than feel any sort of sadness

Mostly I was just perplexed by it. Dude, it's been like a week, you are not that bad off, use your new skills and get the hell out of there.

I get it his mind was broken because the e-girl he was simping for left
but like yeah the fuck do you want her to do lmao
queen laurel
but like yeah the fuck do you want her to do lmao
Maybe kick him in the nuts so that instead of being sad he feels pain instead
paper haven
Crazy thing is if he just got her attention, she probably would have immediately went with him.
dusk patrol
That’s
The point
He’s completely changed
He goes from bright and cheery and all that to being a husk
dusk patrol
He’s literally the title smh
paper haven
It was done poorly, yeah
dusk patrol
Idk it’s kinda silly to be like “man all you saw was countless horrors over a week or two why are you so sad smh”
storm jungle
Its probably the way it was written tbh
that and i just did not like him as a character
not biased

Well the next point was, a Necron invasion is a fair bit worse than that
paper haven
He had a way out and a reason to want to leave, the girl he loved.
Instead he just gives up.
dusk patrol
He doesn’t give up he has a reason he states directly
paper haven
It'd be different if his situation was hopeless but it really wasn't
outer wave
Sounds like something got lost in translation with the idea vs the execution/writing of the idea
dusk patrol
I mean he literally just says it
tough haven
okay buddy good luck with those necrons
I only read that book because I’m starved for necron comtent so I thought maybe I’d get necron perspective
But nope
paper haven
My point is that it was poorly written. His reason doesn't ring true to me.
dusk patrol
I don’t think it’s a good reason but he’s not exactly in a rational state of mind
tough haven
^
dusk patrol
And he’s not supposed to be, the point is he’s kinda dead inside and nihilistic, and wants to kill “one more” for each guy who couldn’t
Idk why we’re ascribing a rational state of mind to a dude whose basically insane by the end
tough haven
He had a way out and a reason to want to leave, the girl he loved.

People aren’t really rational like that in situations like that, hopelessness, depression and anxiety aren’t rational emotions
dusk patrol
He’s someone who didn’t have a hard life at all and suddenly he’s out into that situation
tough haven
It’s a case by case basis though
dusk patrol
Yeah
dusk patrol
Like it’s not gonna be like that for everyone but I don’t think it’s that crazy that a person could break like that

He saw horrible things but he also showed to be determined and willful. Not an hour before, he was going to dive into a necron tomb with a nuke strapped to his chest.

If he's trying to emulate the krieg, he failed.
They left when the fight was impossible, he walked right up to them.
That's suicide.
dusk patrol
The one girlfriend lady he has doesn’t recognize him at all which is kinda the point, he might as well be a new person. He’s can’t just hop on the flyer and leave

You need proper mental constructs and tools in addition to resiliency and will to rationally view your options in hopeless or difficult situations and that is 100% not taught widely in the 40K universe lol

Except that he knows full well that he'll die immediately.
dusk patrol
Yes
Once again he’s not being rational
This is like almost an overdone trope for war movies and stuff
Bright eyed person gets put through hell and changes for the worse
paper haven
It doesn't make any sense that he would just give up. He had options.
paper haven
Sure but irrational isn't the same as suicidal.
dusk patrol
Why not?
Irrational just means it doesn’t make sense, it can easily be suicidal
For him it was about caring more about settling a score than he did going back to his old life
tough haven
Except that he knows full well that he'll die immediately.
Yeah, no one’s arguing it’s a good decision
paper haven
Because most of that irrational behavior is usually driven by an impulse. His stated impulse is to keep fighting, something which he has shown he knows how to do. He understands clearly what his chances are and what he is doing.
dusk patrol
Yes and that changes him
tough haven
Sure but irrational isn't the same as suicidal.
True, but it can easily spiral into it
tough haven
Anyways, book wasn’t great, we should probably move on
paper haven
Yes and that changes him
Enough to make him a different person, sure. But not enough to throw everything away and walk into certain death.
dusk patrol
Going in circles yeah
Regardless, yeah I don’t care for the books much
They’re fine

I think i get his reasoning behind it, he just didnt think it through.
also yeah this is like a mid 2000's book, pretty old
paper haven
What was his reasoning? Some kind of tribute or reimagining?
dusk patrol
It’s a pretty blatant rip so whatever he says
Probably laziness or concern about being able to write the book idk. It’s weird too cause he could have gotten away with it if he just changed more
But it’s a blatant rip
Made 40k
And it’s also the worst book of the three imo for 40k
It read weird

All right i'm just going to ask this to do factions have their equivalents of aggressors
Basically like these guys use specialized armor that have integrated weapons
Orks have meganobz so you don't have to tell me about that one

Aggressors were kinda stand ins for Termies for a bit tbh and still are sorta

because they 100% debated that

I've heard that the reason HH and 40k models aren't compatible anymore is because the two teams refuse to collaborate at all, HH refuse to limit their models to make them compatible to the 40k rules and 40k team refuse to make rules for HH designed models.

The Forgeworld team pretty much gets along with none of GW's main teams

They’ll add it eventually
Games workshop likes money
I wouldn’t be shocked if eventually, we get some kind of Mk1 option

Idk about mk1
Too early, and i think GW would prefer to do all the current armor marks rather than design a new one
Then again they redesigned the mk3 so who knows
dusk patrol
Unifiction vets still had some sets
The iron hands, Lord commander being the main example
fallen plaza
I wouldnt mind seeing it
dusk patrol
He just kept updating and upgrading his

Unifiction vets still had some sets
didnt the mk1 suck ass?

fallen plaza
Obsolete is different from just bad
dusk patrol
Made it work for void combat
It wasn’t true Mk1
It was basically artificer for those who could
plush mason
so basically mk1a1 lol
arctic talon
MK1 imo is genuinely the ugliest power armor
arctic talon
I think I like all of them except MK1
I like MK10 generally
I just didn’t like the egg gravis captain

Gravis best

I kinda never liked how psuedo form fitting the primaris stuff looked?
Specifically the chest piece

Or for the general MK10
General mk10
arctic talon
Ah I see what you mean
fallen plaza
I dont mind when armor looks form fitting if it is exclusive to a unit, like the dangles, but when its the default it doesnt feel right personally
With all the other marks you could change them up so much you couldn’t tell what pattern it was
wraith quartz
Ok, so does the Elyssiarchy have their own fleet of ships?
arctic talon
Ok, so does the Elyssiarchy have their own fleet of ships?
Yes

I think I love MK7 chestplates a lot
which is why I like MKX ones lol
MKX is like 2 of my favorite armor MKs mashed together
fallen plaza
Yeah the mk7 is probably the best chesplate out of all the marks
It doesnt look naked without an aquila, and is very versatile looks wise
plush mason

From a lore perspective yeah from a visual one ehhh

So is it a ship built around a church or church built around a ship?
by all accounts the phalanx (imperial fist's ship which is the biggest one in the whole imperial arsenal) was built during the dark age of humanity. In all its depictions it's straight up a flying cathedral so you start to ask yourself whether humanity has always just loved gothic stuff or the imperium modifies everything to their aesthetic standards.
that or it's lazy writing
crystal forum
you have NO basis for this claim
this is an assumption
If we follow the Abnettverse then rogal dorn created it from scratch
however that makes no sense since "recently" the imperial fists straight up needed custodians to give them a cache of technology just to repair it
why would dorn know about dark age technology
conclusion: 40k's rule of "older is better" leads to a lot of inconsistencies and who cares
nocturne crest
What old content could you all see GW bring back as for 40k, Necromunda or Kill-team?
storm jungle
why would dorn know about dark age technology
He doesnt, they just reverse-makeshift-archifuck-modified it
storm jungle
What old content could you all see GW bring back as for 40k, Necromunda or Kill-...
Also hard question
because kill-team and necromunda bring back anything from oldhammer that is neat and cool
especially compared to the main 40k lines which is what makes them great
crystal forum
He doesnt, they just reverse-makeshift-archifuck-modified it
abnett's book literally says he made it from scratch
but that's just his own little vision
storm jungle
but that's just his own little vision

the gothic aesthetic comes from the Imperium
DAOT has no gothic aesthetic to it

still makes more sense to me than it being dark age

Nurgle works the same way, his main thing is just diseases but the other chaos gods can inflict physical mutations through other means as well.

Depends on the plague, some are physically existing/based in reality, others are warp-infused.
