My barb is fucking dying

i wish games like that had a non pvp mode

every fucking extraction looter/shooter is full of nothing but toxic SOBs that will hunt you down the second they spot you

snow fern
#

I feel that

plush mason
#

pvpve in general is a bad idea

thorn zenith
#

my first experience with it was the division 2 and the whole pvpve thing was just a pvp playpen rather than anything meaningful

#

unlike the thrilling idea of the first game with big area allowing less prepared pve players to avoid the sweats and extract far away from the action

From the article:

“The Goblin-Hewer is another interesting returning unit”, says JTY. “It doesn’t come with Malakai Makaisson, because he hasn’t been born yet. But we delved into the lore and discovered that Malakai might not have invented everythinghe says he did…

#

Next time some say that Malakai invented the Thunderbarge

plush mason
#

the pve is little more than an annoyance unless you run into a big threat and the pvp is just a gank/zerg fight

young pecan

When I look up my neck hurts

Sometimes pops

Some of the enemies actually feel threatening, and most classes have AOE moved to clear chaff quickly

#

Anyways, anyone have a video or a way to find all the brawler specialist/elite kill voicelines?

#

I’m trying to steal his character and port it to another game, so I’m trying to find inspiration

I have all the interaction between characters lines

I don't even know what the plot is anymore, which is on track with Ubisoft and them half-assing their games on launch

#

I hear people talking about the “deep warp” every now and again, is it anything? Or is it one of those things that’s just vaguely mentioned in a codex once

celest dome
#

Isn't it the Warp outside of the Milkyway ?

arctic talon
celest dome
#

I know but there is something like thaf

tough haven
storm jungle
#

mostly due to the void-space between galaxies being so empty

celest dome
#

But isn't that usually called the Deep Warp

storm jungle
#

the Deep Warp is just a point in the warp thats considered the apocalyptic center of it

#

it doesnt have anything to do with the galactic-gap between other galaxies

Old World cope ?

#

About AoS deserving good video games and that even if TWW1 and Vt1 had been released much earlier that FB would have been killed off

arctic talon
#

This is hardcore old world cope lmao

#

jfc lol

rose thorn
#

these people never even read or seen any aos lore

#

its quite sad

#

how are the mortal realms less interesting then just literal europe

green loom
#

Also I feel like the issue with AoS games is that they're still kinda feeling the setting out tbh

dusk patrol
#

I like the Old World more personally but part of that is it feels like one proper world and you can track where people are more on it. AoS is designed differently

#

It’s also very different in theme

#

It’s more fantastical

#

Different strokes deal

green loom
#

40k and Fantasy games in general are kinda lightning-in-a-bottle effects

#

Like you had a heap of total garbage for every dawn of war or vermintide

dusk patrol
#

I like some of the lore of AoS but it doesn’t all do it for me

green loom
#

a good chunk of the older games popularity rn is also just straight up retroactive post TTS and COVID spike

dusk patrol
#

Total Warhammer and VT let people see how cool the setting was

rose thorn
#

AOS is basically if all myth is true

dusk patrol
#

It’s not complicated

rose thorn
#

Extremely open for homebrew and new ideas

dusk patrol
#

I would like a tide game or something good set in AoS eventually

green loom
#

AoS lore isn't as readily accessible and is far more tabletop centric than 40k I think?

rose thorn
#

Oh

#

Sorry I read that wrong

green loom
#

40k has a full on marketable setting right, AoS' setting is still in a sort of fledgling state, even if the tabletop is doing well

rose thorn
#

No?

#

Aos books are as common as 40k books

dusk patrol
#

It definitely doesn’t have nearly as much stuff

rose thorn
#

It’s just evenly spread

dusk patrol
#

They’re not

green loom
#

Note I'm not calling it bad

dusk patrol
#

They have a lot

#

But they don’t have nearly as much

rose thorn
#

I mean as of late

#

Like AOS releases with 40k

dusk patrol
#

That’s not really what matters though

#

And I think 40k still has far more releases

rose thorn
#

Yea

green loom
#

It's still a fledgling setting though, is what I mean

rose thorn
#

It does but it’s also old

dusk patrol
#

It’s just not as much to sink your teeth into

green loom
#

And it's only now starting to settle properly

dusk patrol
#

Some of its good

green loom
#

I think i'm trying to say AoS is still being "realized"

dusk patrol
#

It makes interesting additions sometimes

rose thorn
#

Hang on

dusk patrol
#

But not everyone is gonna buy every new campaign and lore book unfortunately and it matters more to do that for AoS

rose thorn
#

okay back

#

so the aos lore is muchmore venly divided across the alliances and factions

dusk patrol
#

The main complaint I’d say tabletop wise is there’s almost way too many big set piece characters. But it’s not a huge deal. I’m looking forward to the Stormcast updates

rose thorn
#

and unliek 40k the battle tomes get alot of lore updates

#

each editionis basically a new era

#

so you have to be looking at lore through a buncgh of different persetives to get the full deal

#

in dawn bringer bascially everyone got free to access short stories giving new ideas and lore updates

#

the only issue is that each edition focuses on a realm or two

#

3rd was mainly ghur

#

2nd was chamon

#

1.5 was setting thingssup

#

but mainly aqshy and ghyran

#

2nd also introduced alot of factions so their relams got developed

dusk patrol
#

The issue primarily is they’re often properly introducing factions with new lore updates, like the Flesh Eater Courts didn’t have a ton of stuff until recently with Ushoran and more updates.

rose thorn
#

oh yeah, tbh people though they were on the chopping block for a while and they were only amde of old world models

dusk patrol
#

I’d argue they’re still very lacking

green loom
#

Or the dawnbringer crusades really fleshing out cities

rose thorn
#

old world factions usually dont get much lore

#

old world models*

dusk patrol
#

Yeah like it’s nice they’re adding stuff with every update but they’re also like

#

Actually explaining and properly giving factions lore too

rose thorn
#

yea

dusk patrol
#

Where before they had extremely little

rose thorn
#

also aos is a really enw setting

dusk patrol
#

If any really

green loom
#

Hence what I meant by the setting isn't fully realized yet

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

rose thorn
dusk patrol
#

40k has its major factions explained mostly with a lot of characters a long time ago

#

Votann being the exception but that’s a whole thing

green loom
#

40k and Fantasy both have a LOT of things to build games out of

dusk patrol
#

Fantasy had the issue of everything was explored basically lol

#

They were stuck

rose thorn
#

yea that was my problem

#

with old world

green loom
#

I'd hope and imagine we will get more AOS games down the line, but the big issue with it so far has been the games for it more or less just being "Okay we need stormcast to fight X"

#

Just glorified marketing, at least moreso than usual

rose thorn
#

stormcasts not being as big as space mariens really helped the setting tbh

green loom
#

Like there's some proper potential for a nice RTS or Last Train Home esque game with a Dawnbringer crusade

#

But that's all still new

rose thorn
#

so its like, you cant erally make an aos game with out including alot

#

honeslty the way id make an aos game is jsut go for teh skirmish game route, you control like 5 dudes

#

(this totally isnt bsaed off of underworlds)

soft thunder
rose thorn
#

im gonna be honest im extremely biased, aos is my favorite setting next to fallout

#

so my arguments are form the persepctive of a 'i read as much lore as i can'

#

aos, fallout, and endless

storm jungle
#

AoS is definitely the more accessible setting from a tabletop point too tbh

arctic talon
#

WHFB is still way less acessible as a game

#

unfortunately

storm jungle
#

LOL

#

yep

rose thorn
#

NO WAYYYY

#

The is like animators getting credits back in the 70s

rose thorn
#

Which is peak design

vagrant narwhal
#

I wonder if there's ever been a case of Loyalist Gene-Stealers. Would be funny if they were thought to be abhumans

storm jungle
#

Genestealers cant be loyalists

#

they are quite literally mentally and genetically brainwashed

outer wave
#

None that can get away from the hive mind conducted by the patriarch?

#

Actually how does long range indoctrination work (with GSC neophytes being shipped to other planets) if they're away from the patriarch?

storm jungle
#

Basically just a psychic connection spread by nearby high ranking cult members and more genetic-obedience/loyalty.

#

Once you become a genestealer cultist theres no getting out

#

its only when the hivemind actively snips control that it could happen but thats always been during planetary invasions' climax, otherwise even a single cult member thats been away from a destroyed world will want to reproduce and spread the genestealer curse

#

because you are still very much actively under the thrall of the hivemind minor or big

outer wave
#

I see so it's only really there to indoctrinate the parents and any person that's outside the GSC "family"

#

Otherwise it's all genetic

storm jungle
#

Genetic and psychic yeah

crystal forum
#

i still dont get the whole archivist guy's sepcies

storm jungle

Who?

crystal forum

the guy

#

lizard

storm jungle
#

?

crystal forum
#

with centaur like body

storm jungle
#

Zoats?

crystal forum
#

in blackstone fortress

storm jungle
#

they are Zoats, thats their species

#

lol

crystal forum
#

are they enslaved by nids

storm jungle
#

They were engineered by the tyranids to be a slave race before they broke free

#

the explanation is quite literally "somehow they broke free"

crystal forum
#

so they're the only actual sentient nids species or something

storm jungle
#

Its basically like uh

crystal forum
#

like how does that work

outer wave
#

We're never getting a Zoats army huh

storm jungle
#

basically to be workers

#

and they broke free and became their own thing

#

thats more or less the case, idk how else to really put it

crystal forum
#

so are gaunts a subspecies

outer wave
#

Humonculus

storm jungle
#

thats not the same thing

crystal forum
#

i dont fucking understand

outer wave
#

It's Tyranid Homunculi

storm jungle
#

Gaunts directly fucking come from tyranids

crystal forum
#

why do nids need a slave species

storm jungle
#

because old lore

#

and for "diplomacy"

#

it was goofier back then

crystal forum
#

like huh?

#

"can i please eat you"

storm jungle
# crystal forum "can i please eat you"

Zoats are a centauroid, engineered slave race of the Tyranids, whose stocky build better enables them for ground combat[1] and their advanced intellect allow them to act as ambassadors.[4] Despite Zoats being bio-constructs of the Tyranids, should a Zoat somehow escape the influence of the Hive Mind, it may escape or rebel against the Tyranids a...

#

read the fucking lexi page you goddamn nerd

crystal forum
#

i did

#

it does not help

outer wave
#

"Hey, the nids won't eat you if you give them those cool moons instead."

storm jungle
#

anyway basically the deal is

#
  • Goofy race from 1st edition
#
  • Came back with bad explanation since they basically make no snese
crystal forum
#

i didnt know nids were that old

storm jungle
#
  • Now they exist
storm jungle
outer wave
#

GSC were like 2nd edition?

crystal forum
#

also crazy that they're confirmed to still exist with the archivist guy

outer wave
#

They've been around for a while, though not as they are now

storm jungle
#

Yeah its basically a "wojak point" miniature callback

storm jungle
#

Such uh... "gorgeous" models

outer wave
#

God I love when you make the aliens long headed humanoids

#

old 40k looked like the kind of shit i'd buy in a dollar store as a kid

storm jungle
#

now its shit you'd buy as a kid but expensive-er

crystal forum
#

second morgage here we go

storm jungle
#

but anyway yeah thats basically the case with Zoats

#

they entirely exist so you can point and go "I KNOW WHAT THAT IS"

#

anything else with their old lore is too goofy to bring up or is just ignored

sharp pollen
#

not a day without talking about jeen settlers

the meme that represents 40k as a whole

# outer wave None that can get away from the hive mind conducted by the patriarch?

The new genestealer techpriest in Necromunda Hive Secundus, hermeticus the 2nd or sumthin, is a good example of this. He was looking to create a cure or vaccine for the genestealer disease. The tech priest instantly became brainwashed when creating a neural link to the patriarch's mind to research the mental aspect of the genestealer virus, after failing for years to have any progress on the biological vaccine/cure.

#

Hive Secundus an necromunda are goated 40k content

#

also ya zoats

outer wave
soft thunder
#

nah he did it in secret after all his underlings told him not to

#

and didn't tell his Inquisitorial overseers. Did it in secret cuz they would say no

#

but ya that's why the greatest hive on necromunda got nuked

outer wave
#

Oof

arctic talon

Also he’s dead now probably

I think they said he got executed by the Inquisition yeah

# arctic talon Also he’s dead now probably

I think the patriarch in necromunda's hive secundus reformed him (somehow), hence the name "Hermiatus, the second", but ya the Inquisition hunted him down and assasinated* him somewhere off world somewhere I think.

arctic talon
#

thats why I said new creature

#

not exactly sure wtf hermiatus the secondis

It's usually fine. Not too many AoS hater over there. Still are some but not the majority

young pecan
#

I just saw a lore short on YouTube that said most lasguns could tune the usage of their charge packs to either have less but higher power shots or more but lower power shots

#

Wonder if we could get a lasgun with that kind of mechanic as the special

celest dome
#

Yes all lasgun have that in lore. Even those we have

#

But I doubt they will have that reflect in game for balance issues

young pecan
#

It did frame it as all but I didn't really think it meant all all

#

That's kinda cool

#

But yeah true, putting it in game would probably just be a weird helbore

celest dome
#

Still am annoyed that Lucius should have been the infantry. And Accattran the Helbore

arctic talon

All of our lasguns ingame should be cosmetic differences primarily

They were saying it throughout all the Dawnbringer stuff, when all the factions were getting reveals and big new centrepiece models like Ushoran

Like they literally can just look at the warhammer community website and see the amazing stuff aos is getting

#

And then they are saying that it's going to get cooked

#

All right now that is even more hilarious

raven stone
#

Yea it is one thing to dislike lore or design decisions

#

But quite another of level of delusional thinking to believe GW would collapse overnight

#

By this point GW is like the Imperium itself: rotting, fading glory but never dying.

leaden pilot
#

Isn't GW literally doing better than ever now? lol

raven stone
#

To be fair, financially the numbers are sound, yes

#

But I speak from the position of, well, them never being able to get the rules done right for 40k

#

Lots of other smaller competing system out there have much better balanced rule sets and quicker mechanics

leaden pilot
#

Oh, okay
Never played tabletop
Though I'm probably going to get on that plastic crack soon

raven stone
#

My personal advice: unless you are willing to sell out a liver and some, do not go in with a committed competitive mindset.

#

GW took online rules to mean

#

"Oh we can treat our rules like it is a computer game DLC"

#

And the point values just...continually fluctuates endlessly.

leaden pilot
#

At first I want to get just into painting and collecting

#

And I think that now I won't go with any particular army, just some squads of things I think look cool

raven stone
#

GW miniatures are definitely great for painting and collecting for personal joy, yes

queen laurel

The prices there would make you wish your kidney was capable of regenerating

They were very aware of Ferrus’s dislike for augmetics, they just didn’t care because it made them more effective

# celest dome

I love that model, I just wish there was an actual way you can run it lmao

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Besides outcasts

dusk patrol
#

Ferrus himself allowed them because during the GC era it did make them stronger and more effective, he was planning on purging the reliance on it after the GC was over

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Which obviously didn’t happen

median star
dusk patrol
#

He planned on stripping the Necrodermis from his arms yes

#

Even if it would weaken him, after it wasn’t needed

median star
#

So i think i remember that someone still has his skull does anyone still have his hands or

dusk patrol
#

The Iron Hands believe because he failed and because there’s only war in the future that his judgement was an error

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Yes

queen laurel
#

And he's the only human well demigod human thingy that had the ability to basically use it on his skin

dusk patrol
#

It was also bound to his body and was within him beyond his arms to some degree

median star
#

We bring back rogal dorn and give him one of manus hands and 2 for 1 rerun

dusk patrol
#

It caused him extreme chronic pain and it’s implied he was maybe dying from it too but we don’t know

#

It’s why his eyes are silver

dusk patrol
#

It seems his primacy physiology is what allowed it to happen and for him to survive

dusk patrol
#

He never ever actually clarified the story of how he got them

queen laurel
#

We have this interesting things as usual that we have no answers to

dusk patrol
#

And he allowed conflicting accounts

median star
dusk patrol
#

He liked their to be a legend to it and for it to he unclear

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

The legend is he drowned it in magma and it melted onto his arms

#

But he implies to a remembrancer that’s not how it happened really

median star
#

Inb4 some necron lord just went damn you know what would be rlly funny

dusk patrol
#

Medusa has some wild stuff with Necron constructs and DAoT tech horrors running about

#

And Ferrus was able to interface with Necron tombs on Medusa too

dusk patrol
queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

He was more interested in actions over words and just doing his job

median star
#

Maybe he accidentally quarter way stumbled into some sort of bio transference machine and thats what caused the whole metal deal

He kept some interesting journals but he never let anyone see them until after he died

Re: Ferrus Manus

#

Late, but I thought he got his Necrodermis hands

#

From killing a C'tan on Medusa?

#

(Or at least, an implied C'tan)

snow fern
#

He 1v1'd a ctan?

dusk patrol
#

It was likely a uh

#

One sec let me find it

#

It’s mentioned in the Infinite and the Divine

#

Basically an giant machine they’d drop on worlds to conquer them

#

It’s description reads like a bigger version of this

fallen plaza
#

I loved the look of the model on these

dusk patrol
#

It’s described as a giant worm shape which digs through the ground and stuff, his pod landing disturbed and awoke it and he had this innate feeling that he had fucked up and needed to right the wrong and stop it

#

So he chased after it for awhile right out of the pod

#

And eventually slayed it

#

It seems something with how he did that gave him the arms but it’s not clear exactly what happened to cause that

#

Then he just wandered Medusa and slayed monsters and shit, helped the tribes a bit

Learned stuff

I'll definitely pick up a couple models just to paint them

#

btw the new ad-ric podcast of fantasy has launched, they have confirmed the plan is to start with fantasy then move into end times then age of sigmar

leaden pilot
#

Considering that I think they're gonna do it like Detective Ridiculous, which was iirc once a month it's gonna take them ages to reach AoS

plush mason

yeah

they're by mantic games so they probably are

afaik they're usually like 1-3 pieces

actually

#

no

#

they're on sprues I think

crystal forum
#

looks cheap

shadow plover
#

depends on the kit

crystal forum
#

100£

#

i think that's worse than GW

#

but not by much

fallen plaza
#

100£ for an entire set

crystal forum
#

the set has like 6 models

fallen plaza
#

Thats the recon edition

crystal forum
#

oh right

#

i guess it is cheaper

shadow plover
#

This is what you get for the hundo

arctic talon
#

I’m worried if it’s PVC

fallen plaza
#

Its like 20 models for a 100£

arctic talon
#

But that’s about it

#

I doubt it’s pvc

#

But its always misery to work with

#

i'm literally about to start being in charge of purchasing molds for something i created in my company so soon i'll be able to tell how economical this shit is

#

what a career turn i have taken

celest dome
#

How did it happen

fallen plaza
#

I could have never guess from you

arctic talon
#

Also flashpoint is killteam/infinity scaled

#

Not 40K scale

crystal forum
#

i created a model from scratch with help from my boss and after printing a couple of them every department of my company wants some, including sales who want it to be an actual product of the company. since i work in such a small company i'm left entirely in charge of the transfer to injection molded (i have 0 experience)

arctic talon
#

Flashpoint feels like it’s meant to compete with those games more to me

#

Atm I'm doing HVAC studies for a client, as well as cabling an electrical panel

crystal forum
# fallen plaza What are they if i might ask

we make small electronic parts for satellites and such. i made a sort of container that can hold them easily so the production side has a much easier time moving around batches of them

#

took me months to make the model lol

fallen plaza
#

I see

crystal forum
#

i have a passion for this sort of stuff so hopefully it opens a lot of doors for me to be in charge of all of this

#

certainly helps to have a really cool boss who pushes us to innovate and develop our ideas

fallen plaza

Thats honestly sick

#

so the scola where psykers are trained and graded, is it just on Terra or is there other ones on various worlds?

rocky gale
#

Multiple different ones throughout the Galaxy

fallen plaza
celest dome
arctic talon
#

honestly I'd just consider it as being everywhere at this point

#

most modern and even older lore depicts Psykers being trained not on terra

young pecan
arctic talon
#

Yeah no it’s absolutely a nightmare

young pecan
young pecan
median star
#

So like when the black ships get to terra what exactly is it theyre doing to the pyskers to siphon them to the emperor industrial grade pyskic food processor or

arctic talon
median star
#

Yea i mean like hows the sacrifice go down tho they just kill them straight up or juice em or

young pecan
#

Definitely not an industrial meat grinder though

median star
#

So they just tube them all together some funny words get said andthen they just get the soul sucked out of them or something

young pecan
#

Dunno, sounds sorta accurate though

#

It is also definitely not a peaceful passing for the psykers either

arctic talon
#

in which that case its time for an incredibly painful death

young pecan
#

Considering the AdMech handles the throne's technology it can be assumed they are hooked up in some way

#

I tried looking for an in-depth answer and all I found was that AdMech oversee the throne's condition so

#

Yeah probably brutally efficient and with psychic-binding technology somehow(?)

dusk patrol
#

It takes a long time for them to die

#

The 1000 per day isn’t everyday really it’s an average burnout rate

#

How long they last varies, and there’s a lot more than 1000 hooked up at once

#

They do hype them up as giving their lives and souls for the ultimate purpose they can so I guess at least some probably die feeling like they’re sacrificing themselves for a good reason

#

But it’s an insanely painful and awful way to die still

#

And they’re not wrong at least that their deaths are for an extremely important cause so there’s that at least

modern tapir
#

Funny thought. I know the custodians play games to see how far they can breach Terra's defenses. Has there ever been an incident where they used their authority to get an assassin from one of the branches to play with them?

dusk patrol
#

I can’t recall an example like that but it’s not unlikely

#

Assassins would be an obvious threat to the palace potentially

young pecan
dusk patrol
#

It probably doesn’t hurt, the process really fucking sucks so anything they can cling onto is something

amber night
fallen plaza
amber night
#

the simplified version of it?

#

sorry to interrupt, does anyone know are there updates on potential solutions for the golden throne to be failing ?

fallen plaza
#

The most commonly used one, yes.

nocturne crest
#

So odd question, but do the Grey Knights have Primaris in their ranks yet?

fallen plaza
#

No reason not to, there models though? probably wont get one for a long time

amber night
fallen plaza
amber night
fallen plaza
amber night
#

an logical and pragmatic approach, seems good

fallen plaza
#

Supposedly it is

amber night
#

"supposedly" ?

#

anything changed

fallen plaza
#

Oh its nothing, im just hoping it doesn’t change by the time i graduate

amber night
#

yeah

#

thats one concern i shared as well

amber night
#

assuming if the shit doesnt hit the fan

fallen plaza
#

yup, thats the good thing

amber night
#

quick segway, do you know whether or not there was any update to repairing the golden throne ?

fallen plaza
#

That lore hasnt been followed up in years

amber night
#

jeez

fallen plaza
#

As far as i can tell its retconned

amber night
#

i googled ,seems like GW gave it more time in lore , but its still gonna fail

#

and like many others who participated in this discussion, there is no way it will happen or even it did , it wont completely destroyed the current landscape

#

money talks

dusk patrol
#

We don’t know

amber night
#

do you think its a hint of potential repairment?

dusk patrol
#

It’s not clear if it’s gonna fail or if it’ll keep going

#

Spoiler: It’s not gonna fail

#

Because that would end the setting largely

fallen plaza
#

That is new? I thought it he was referring to the dark eldar alliance one

dusk patrol
#

That is new enough lore

#

The time period is super new when it happens

#

Like a few years removed from the current timeline

#

If that

amber night
#

yeah i saw that they recton the timeline in the triology

#

do people find the big E's decision making towards the primarchs to be incredibly stupid during the crusade? for a guy who is supposed to be the peak of humanity , he fails greatly

#

i get, the chaos corruption will hit no matter waht, so the lore is traced backward but still

#

this is just my opinion, if its ignorant or offensive i apologize

fallen plaza
#

Nah

amber night
#

but i theorizes that Big E should have disposed konrad and Angron, as they were more disruptive, seems to be an loose end

fallen plaza
#

It is a relatively popular opinion

amber night
#

they were more risky than beneifical if that

dusk patrol
#

I think the Angron thing is a bit goofy writing wise and doesn’t make much sense

#

The others idk

amber night
#

Big E after cucking morty of his revenge, should use his daddy issue against him , made he become a forever lapdog satisfying emperor and have enough low self-esteem to not rebel

#

Also

#

a tool and weapon could be used against you, so its important to have an immediate failsafe towards them , the emperor should have something of a kill switch towards the primarchs to nip any rebellion in the but

amber night
fallen plaza
#

People say it will be hard to adapt the heresy into a film i’d argue against that because it is so easy to cut out all the pointless guff

amber night
#

yeah

dusk patrol
#

That doesn’t have to do with the writing being silly for why he does what he does

amber night
#

oh i was suggesting that maybe the GW just wnats a traitor primarch for khorne, they dont care too much about the plausiablity of the lore regarding it

dusk patrol
#

You can easily just write it as he tries to help Angron but Angron rejects him anyways because he’s a tyrant

fallen plaza
#

Yeah the whole teleport thing was goofy

#

I never really liked the whole evil emperor thing

dusk patrol
#

It’s not consistent with how he tries to reach other primarchs either

amber night
dusk patrol
#

I don’t care if he’s evil, I more care about consistency and how he cares more about getting his primarchs on his side than a meh world

#

He spends a lot of effort winning over basically every single other one he can

#

There’s no reason he couldn’t wipe out the high riders

#

Even just their army

#

What are they gonna do?

amber night
#

i do want to know

#

whats the lore intentionally made that way for some reason or if its just poorly written

fallen plaza
#

Both

dusk patrol
#

Idk but it’s jsut bad writing imo

#

And ADB and whoever else was in charge should have known better

amber night
#

also

#

i am bit bummed out the fact that angron falls to khorne

#

shouldnt he be a healer?

#

whole thing screams failure to me

#

but maybe thats why its grimdark?

#

idk

#

i am also kinda bummed by the fact that Emperor didnt not foresee magnus fucking things up, since he is so determental for the emperor's plan. shouldnt him pay more attention to Magnus to make sure his plan goes the way it should and prevent what happened ?

dusk patrol
#

No because then the plot can’t happen.

#

Also he was busy

#

And he unfortunately thought Magnus would maybe not be a fuck up for five minutes

amber night
#

does perty being tzeentchs primarch seems more fitting than magnus ?

twilit musk
#

funny how the chaos gods seemed to have exhausted everything to do almost instantly

#

literally have nothing better else to do than fuck with reality

#

i think Nurgle is the least ‘active’ in that he really just pops in and checks shit out when his people start doing some super stinky stuff and then gives a thumbs up and goes back

#

Whole galaxy going tooth and nail to survive these assholes and their effort is barely even passive

fallen plaza
#

tzeetch about do absolutely nothing (all according to plan)

twilit musk
#

that’s what kinda benches him in my mind like I can’t take it seriously since he’s just like that annoying cousin you have always smirking to themselves thinking they’re ‘winning’ at something

#

that one time the girl and her dog got past his maze tho they actually did have to put their hands on their hips and suck their teeth

#

“fucking kidding me, you didn’t get a name? license plate? did you even see which way she went?”

#

the door : 🗿

#

starts walking back home

#

thinking about the fact that russo alone has killed 500,000 people (not canon surely) and it’s implied we’re all really fucking things up down there, shouldn’t this send up a big signal light to khorne’s realm

amber night
#

will russ be more fitting as khorn's primarch than the lion ?

#

i think it is because i feel like russ is more berserkish

twilit musk
#

russ definitely

#

lion has too many principles

amber night
#

is russ and lion

#

kinda like vegeta and goku

#

or dante and vergil?

celest dome
#

Russ should be Odin like with Tzeentch.
Khorne getting the Raven guard

amber night
#

is raven guard's speciality is stealth ?

#

that kinda defeats the purpose of martial might no ?

celest dome
#

Khorne care not for martial might.
Only of bloodshed

fallen plaza
amber night
#

i thought khorne like his boys spicy

#

fallen plaza

Khorne likes boys

amber night
#

edp , kevin spacey sponsors this message

#

who is the strongest sm of all time

#

in terms of dueling

green loom
#

My mom

#

Unironically probably Sigismund

amber night
#

yeah

#

thats my first guess

#

sigismund, kharne

#

tyberos, moloc

fallen plaza
green loom
#

It's not really a guess it's pretty much his entire character lol

amber night
#

lucius, abbadon?

#

they are buffed , but still

fallen plaza
#

Trying to seriously powerscale 40k is a ridiculous endeavor that will devolve into misinterpreting metaphors and basic writing prose

green loom
#

None of them come near Siggy

#

A decrepit Sigismund nearly killed Abaddon

amber night
#

yeah

#

what about moloc

green loom
#

He'd have him for dinner

amber night
#

damn

#

what was the signficance of the black sword?

#

like its so powerful its forbidden?

green loom
#

It's rare for sure

#

May or may not have some supernatural bs

amber night
#

oh

#

abbadon's sword

#

does it does any special for him

#

o its just accessory to make abbadon seems useful

green loom
#

It's very killy

#

What with it being the chosen form of Drachnyen, the First Murder

#

A scary powerful non aligned Daemon

amber night
#

i seem people

#

speculated him to be a minor chaos god entity

#

or thats too much

#

also

#

shouldnt emperor's champion comes from the lion's legion?

#

due to him being the best duelist?

green loom
#

It's debatable if Lion is the best

green loom
#

The Imp Fists were pretty much the primary loyalists on Terra and Rogal Dorn/Sigismund were always pretty favoured

amber night
#

i kinda see

#

rogal being the not the most gifted child but the most kiss-ass/ try hard one

green loom
#

He's pretty good at what he does

#

They're kinda all crazy gifted since you know, they're lab grown super human monsters

amber night
#

but in terms of innate/op powers

#

i will say compare them to each other

#

are custodes candidate chosen from birth?

green loom
#

They keep an eye on families I think but they grab them after

#

Birth I mean

amber night
#

damn

#

wait

#

can they still reproduce

green loom
#

Custodes?

amber night
#

yes

green loom
#

We dunno

#

But prolly not

amber night
#

damn

#

even they did, wont be anything crazy

#

ithink

#

is the technical prowess like this

#

dark age of humanity > golden age > imperium now

twilit musk
#

ye

fallen plaza
#

Golden age and dark age are used interchangeably

amber night
#

got it

#

how op was it relative to other species tech?

#

necrons and alder

green loom
#

It's like
Dark age > age of strife > crusade era > 40k

amber night
#

umm

sacred ginkgo
#

The further back you go the better the tech gets

#

For

#

Some reason

amber night
#

maybe

green loom
#

Brutal war rrrrah

amber night
#

also

#

i think due to the amounts of world there was

green loom
amber night
#

unstricted technology advancement with wars with no restriction from imperial cult and xenophobia and communicate with other colony and constant war which is the perfect enviornment for advancement and improvement?

#

and just how much time they had

#

thats my theory

fallen plaza
#

We dont really know

#

Like, religion and treaties predates the imperial truth and cult, so thats unlikely what happened

amber night
#

but not to the point of it actively restricts and main goals was to worship and persrve?

#

idk

#

will we ever see returns of titans?

#

does 40k have an equvalent of the death stars?

fallen plaza
#

There still in the current setting

amber night
amber night
#

i am always curious about this haha

i would love to be a ork if there is an afterlife

AoS afterlives are pretty cool

#

True

amber night
#

the party in druhkhri cities must be wild

#

i hate to be a human in 40k settings

that brings me to my next qeustion

#

when ork die, they dont go to the warp right?

#

i havent seen any talks of that

#

do they even have souls?

#

@raven stone Also wake up nerd you were right

dusk patrol
#

This has been leaked for months

storm jungle
#

Im aware dingus

#

Always good to have the final confirmation

#

and not everyone follows leaks

dusk patrol
#

I don’t even follow leaks and mfers wouldn’t shut up about this coming soon

#

It’s about what I’d hoped, we’ll have to see the rules but it’s a pretty good concept

storm jungle
#

Im just here for lore and art so

dusk patrol
#

The lore is there’s this organization called the Inquisition

#

And it’s typically split into three major factions

#

Called Ordos

#

Make sure you’re taking notes

raven stone
#

Actually to my surprise the 4th Detachment is a very generic Imperial Navis, instead of Rogue Trdaer specific.
But I am not complaining thus far yet. Need more meat on the bones to know what I think of it.
But FINALLY I can have an Inquisitor and a Rogue Trader together without having to build a full 2k army.

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

soup faction done right

dusk patrol
#

I didn’t assume

#

I knew

#

But yeah it looks cool, hopefully the rules are actually worth a damn

#

Also possibly seems like you’ll be able to take Corvus Blackstars for chapters now?

raven stone
#

Well, you will need to soup them into Chapters using the Assigned Agents rules

#

But that looks like the case.

raven stone
# storm jungle soup faction done right

Wait if what the article says is correct…
Please, Games workshop, for the love of the Golden Throne.
Update the Corvus Blackstar so any Agents unit (not just Deathwatch) can ride in it

dusk patrol
#

We’ll see

#

Depends if you can mix and match factions

#

Like Sisters with Deathwatch or whatever

storm jungle
#

the age of Gaywatch is over, now the entire Gayquisition will ride in the Corvus

dusk patrol
#

Inb4 Corvus Blackstar: This unit may only hold units with the “Astartes” keyword

raven stone
#

Fair enough…and it does look like depending on final layout, if I want a force themed around an Inquisitor-Rogue Trader joint task force, I might actually be better off using the Imperialis Fleet.

#

Given how they specifically say that detachment buffs everything

#

Under the Codex Agents roster

#

@storm jungle the only question left is - will the new KT Scions get rolled into this Codex (they are not mentioned for obvious reasons if they are, but there is still room for doubt right now)

storm jungle
#

Actually are they even in the pictures?

#

I didnt look close enough

dusk patrol
#

I’d be surprised if they don’t have inquisition scions rules

storm jungle
#

They did tease that you can paint them in Inquisition red/black for a previous kill-team thing at some point

#

officially though dont think so

dusk patrol
#

It’s a soup faction so ideally the point is they let you use a broad selection

storm jungle
#

Yeah but i also dont see any scions in all 3 Ordo pictures, maybe they'll include em in the codex we'll see

#

still a shame Inquisitorial Stormtroopers seem to be still in the grave

#

sleep well sweet princes...

They got dumbass helmets

You’re gonna get news about me Team killing that’s for sure

#

And GW actually not Primarising the Deathwatch for once.

#

Very nice to know.

dusk patrol
#

I think that was one of if not the last firstborn model released before the big primaris update

raven stone
#

Ye

#

Deathwatch and Grey Knights becoming Firstborn Holdouts 🤣

dusk patrol
#

Deathwatch has had primaris for a long long time

#

They just never had many actual specific models

raven stone
#

Well I meant model wise 😛

dusk patrol
#

So did I

crystal forum
# storm jungle

goddamn these models are so old that they dont even use lasguns that look like the cadian shitters

storm jungle
#

you uncultured FUCK

crystal forum
#

where's the backpack

storm jungle
#

These dont need any

#

They are pretty bulky so the power-source for it is probably on the gun itself

#

though there is art where they do also have power-cables

crystal forum
#

guess it's one of those space marine melta gun situations where the magazine and backpack are both options

storm jungle
#

Well with SM1-2 the melta is just simply wrong

#

with this its just artistic presentation mixed with ancient modelling

#

no i mean the models

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

The SM2 melta is correct

#

the gravis guys with melta guns

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

they can all have backpack or magazine except the multi melta which is forced backpack

dusk patrol
#

It fires a big ole beam

crystal forum
#

i can't even decide between the backpack or magazine, they both look cool

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

you even can put a dropped magazine that's emitting smoke

dusk patrol
#

Also multimelta has always been a much larger blast

#

It’s why it has blast rules often

storm jungle
#

Yeah but... they werent using mutli-meltas

#

it was just a melta

#

which are always described as having a beam

fallen plaza

In the trailer he uses multimelta at one point

the base melta fires blasts

Heavy bolters are generally better for most non armored targets

autocannons have more range is all i know

Autocannons are for light and medium armored generally
