basically running a 9e mechanized guard loadout at that point
i'd run autoguns only of course
Mechanized Guard you say?
what happens if he loses his muscles
Not possible
will he just look like a half beefy robot
Just get a replacement
its an angle games like Cyberpunk explore where little kids can get bionics
"What will happen when my body grows?"
"Well you can just buy another one from us! :)"
lol
Common Flesh L
man Adam Smasher really was cooking
Isn’t rebbeca an adult 💀
Wrong actually she’s a 10,000 year old dragon
she's Eternal Reward's mother
Bet you feel dumb for calling me a pedo now huh?
you also have to keep updating your bionics or the corps might put malware or something in it
Lmao that too
god damn subscription based economy lmao
The studio they were working with unfortunately literally said "The loli must stay in"
💀
I do like Rebecca's character but I sadly like Smasher more 
Smasher found a way to make her even shorter, impressive really
LOL
God i really respect this show for like, doing the trope of "Canon character shows up to slaughter entire cast"
true, the unstoppable smashfucker type who bins every developments instantly is damn hilarious to see

and iirc Smasher is also a literal gear check in the tabletop games
Yeah also the entire angle of how David legit got his entire crew killed
if your shit aint elite then youre dying
(This is the wrong use of PoV and I don’t care)
Is the show really that good ? I feel like the show was good but wasn’t like something that is extraordinary
Its really good, not even overhyped considering how short it is
also like best thing to come out of cyberpunk in a good while
It’s very well done yeah
it also uses a lot of things that are there in the game so all the game players are like daaaaamn
it starts well and ends well
I am not surprised by how the story is ended
The tone was desolate in the beginning and David wasn’t special by any means
Well yeah but most people didnt know this
its basically the whole point of merc life lmao, you live fast and die a glorious death
^
the entire message is David was a moron that ruined his life and got all his friends killed
he never listened to Maine's last words and didnt leave the city
thats what makes it tragic in retrospective
The moral of the story: stay in school
His ambition outlived him
pretty much
its not a lot indeed but you dont really see something like this in most modern TV shows is the thing
its one of the reasons why a lot of people liked it
its also perfectly in line with the setting and that life is shit in NC and theres damn near zero chance of happy ending especially for mercs
Its why Nomads are always the best choice, Night City is pretty much a meat grinder
It turns out falling in with a dangerous gang of murderous criminals because you find one of them hot isn’t actually a good idea
I’m shocked
LOL
Me looking at David tripping while I have modded out my cybernetics
Buying slots and having berserk and sandy at the same time
And cyberdeck
i mean, V literally got into the life because his new/best (depending on lifepath) was a merc
David went cyberpsycho due to having immense trauma
V doesnt exactly have that experience
It was entirely trauma, this is explored in the game
Ohh
every cyberpsycho tends to have psychological issues
Interesting
the bionics just enhance this and make it worse
Can’t blame him David didn’t have Panems ass personality to carry him through
im saying it doesnt really take much for someone to go into merc business, you just need an iron and a dream
pretty much IRL but less "cool"
And yeah the cyberpsycho cases you can do ingame explores this immensely
its why the corporations cover it up
The key is start out a psychopath
We all have mental disorder on some degree some more severe
You are fucked either way
The game was good
Some severe flaws from my perspective in terms of game mechanism and plot
i mean, if i have metal hands i would feel the temptation to backhand a bitch more intensely than if i was normal thats for sure
i have quite a few issue with the plot lmao
Woah
Also the game mechanism a
I think the plot is fine generally speaking for 2077
Pissed me off
I wouldn’t say it’s terrible
I had like 50 mods
It’s very Silverhand/Arasaka centric
Not terrible not didn’t live up to the hype
What a surprise I know
yeah it works, i just have some personal issues with some parts
They do their best to make Keanu compelling despite his acting
I have quite an issue with the narrative
Doesn’t get the massive fucking ego quite right
He’s fine, I think they could have picked a better actor but it’s not a huge deal
But close enough
How did v didn’t get hunted down all the time or flagged every sec afterwards
How is Johnny so casually just rushed the Ashoka tower ?
It being Keanu is kinda fun so I don’t care too much
Because Yorinobu is covering it up
Not really
The cat was still out the bag
He is self sabotaging the company
He should be hunted every second like far cry 5
During the game
your eye implant also blocks anything from ID-ing your face
^
Oh
yeah if you jack a cctv camera and look at yourself your face gets blurred out
I just didn’t felt the reprecussion was throughly enough
There’s no repercussions because yorinobu doesn’t give a shit about you
And how casual Johnny is about the whole thing
Johnny was most likely soul killed after he was bisected by smasher
His memories of the raid on Arasaka tower are all wrong anyways
They’re heavily distorted and made to make him look like the sole hero
i have an issue with how theres supposed to be a team, but we just work alone. Even in Rogue ending i thought we were gonna have a full squad of kitted out mercs with us but it was just us 2 and the pilot
Well as much of a hero as you can be for causing nuclear holocaust
Oh
The fuck outta the ending haha
if you call rogue, she basically tells you nobody wants to work with you
oh
Why would I need a team when I’m Him
because you got an entire team killed
^yeah this also
or are implied to have
ikr but still
you have really bad rep
i forgot about that, yea it makes sense
I felt bad for the chick that was in the crew
But Jackie and T-bug both ate it and T-bug died about the worst death you can die as a netrunner
Nah
She deserved better
She’s a dork
Lol
Anyone who picked T-Bug as their name deserves to die horribly
Shaitan appeared for like 3 seconds
Yeah
Which makes sense to feeds Johnny ego lol
Because he did half the fucking work for that team and is the only reason they didn’t all die to smasher
cp2077 definitely is in a much better place but some things you cant just fix with a rushed release lmao
yeah i think crunch forced em to cut out some pretty big stuff
2.0 is good
I had severe issue with the game play
Imo
I don’t get why we didn’t have a garage
Evelyn? or T-Bug
I still gotta play the new dlc
T bug
phantom liberty is cool
Fuck eve
bruh i remembered him looking like discount Colossus from Deadpool
yeah T-Bug got instantly fucked
That haircut gives me nightmare
She didn’t get instantly killed
Is the worst part lol
point still stands but yeah, the worst death
You can meet one of her netrunner friends who talks about her unfortunate death
I was so happy when I given the choice to butcher all the French mfs
LOL
Yeah the shop
there was no running or fighting, just shafted
It got old really quick , I am just here for some schematics
make Placide go Flacide
Bro
They really thought I am let them live after fucking me over 3 times
That’s insanity
i would love squad based cyberpunk
i want a new shadowrun game
I can’t force casual dnd 5e players to play Cyberpunk RED with me
I just let Alt fry them lol
You still get to kill placide
it is VERY hard to let the voodoo boys live, they just be fucking you without care
voodoo boys die everytime
Maelstrom and scavs are shoot on sight lol
no one incurs your wrath like they do
Bruh that dude had the audacity to say I betrayed him after I butchered his entire squad
I was like fuck yeah , saved you for last
i mean, scavs are just scavs and maelstrom are dicks (except for Brick and my boy Dum Dum)
I can’t believe there are popele who like Johnny
Same with dumdum
He fucking sucks
I like Johnny as a character
I enjoy how much of an egotistical piece of shit
He is well written yes
Who refuses to self reflect
But his ideals is dogshit
Necromunda reference??!?
He is a cynical egotistic nihilistic ampatheric piece of shit
you do get to call him out on his shit lmao
Yeah and that’s what’s fun
Yeah but
He is not suffering
The criticisms doesn’t do any good
He is mere representation of that aspect of the society
i wonder how the interaction go if you just be constantly antagonizing him but give him your body in the end
congratulations you now have a brain and a depression
i do like that organically V and Johnny are never really friends, just roommates who dont like each others
I wondered
With that much time
Instead of using bionics
Why not developed better quality tissue material to work with in the first place
WOOOO ORDO ASTRA TIME BABYYYY
I get the business aspect but not instead of replacing inferior material (flesh ) with temporary parts( bionics) why not upgrade the base material
Like genetic engineering, nano bio mass
I do enjoy having mantis arm and gorilla arms and launcher at the same time
Because it’s harder and metal is easier to repair if it gets fucked up
Also flesh is cringe
theres also the angle of planned obsolescense
and potential recycling
you WANT something to break down so your customers come back to fix them or get new ones
i might also say that metal bionics are easier to research and make than making you an ubermensch
i did
my memory is hazy but my one was speech about him loving life or something
Oh
You mean arms and weapons ?
yeah
it would fit so well, especially when we see Jackie doing it
Dishonor type shit?
i was thinking Wolfenstein type shit but that works
I mean for a triple a of this caliber
Lots of fundamental stuff is missing
Like lack of gun and arms and car customization
The houses are shit
yeah, couldve had loads more things
Everything is bullet sponges
it being an rpg is also kind of eh
How the fuck does none of house have a garage
Fucking gta 5 outdid for Christ sake
I mean at the same it is gta 5
for real tho the only houses that would have their proper garage would be the corpo plaza one and maybe heywood
japantown condo is too small, starter house has one but its a public parking spot
and the motel is, well, the motel parking
that does bring up the question of there being so many cars in NC, where do they park em
Air drop
Maybe we lived in the matrix all along
Do we ever see how strong the khan is compared to his beothers ?
I know he battled daemon Morty and almost died
He can go really fast
literal sanic, makes orks run like bitches
Like he wiped out an entire ork waahg by going sanic on them
And the luna wolves creamed themselves while watching
Yeah I wished we seen more of him during the siege
I want to know how well he stacked against others
Which primarch doesnt say there better than there brothers
So trying to rank any based on which primarch praises the other is kinda silly
Trying to rank anything in 40k is silly 👀
My point exactly 
Power levels vary so much depending on the author
I imagine there should be like meeting or guideline about power scaling and do or do nots
this is genuinely like the people who ask for "realistic" hard sci fi yet most hard sci fi books are so obscure because they're boring
power levels are for anime
Power levels are much different to hard sci-fi
One is for nerds, one is for man babies who cant comprehend media beyond fight scenes
not to mention having clear power levels would make tabletop weird since randomness is a huge part of the experience
shut up, red mars is peak

power scalers should be drawn and quartered
on god
sure you can win a hugo award but is it a new york times best seller though 
gotta love how like every HH book has a label slapped on it claiming that the series was a new york times best seller
probably only one book reached it
Im talking in terms of story gay
I just want there to be general vague power scaling so it’s not “oh every faction is just as strong and powerful as every other faction because we wanna hype you up to buy their models”
And just because a faction would be stronger doesn’t mean they couldn’t lose to a weaker faction in lore or tabletop
just saying
I mean, no shit there is a clear ranking on who is more powerful “generally”
^
I feel like every faction is described an extremely powerful unstoppable force that could never possibly lose
But it shouldn’t be set in stone
Okay but like that isn't the case clearly
Or every faction that has a codex?
A fire warrior is going to get their ass beaten by a Marine lol
and a Marine is going to get their ass beaten by a CSM generally or vice versa
ect.
GW has broadly sorted factions
like you can broadly sort things into
basic infantry, elite infantry, very elite infantry, marine tier stuff
Can't remember where I had read it before, need a fact check, is it the case that non-Psykers can't really see Psyker powers?
Or is it just that they don't see it the same way
probably the 2nd option, haven't heard of the first before. Psykers do view the world differently, having warp sight or something. Which is why they are so fond of blindfolds etc.
Others seem to be able to see all the lightning and blue flame etc, but psykers probably see it more vividly. Mayhaps with colors outside of space.
This hasnt been really ever the case, of all factions only a handful are entirely unstoppable.
The list tends to be just Orks, Necrons and Nids though
they are very much always handicapped in every way imaginable as every single storybeat has to remind us if they werent they'd beat everyone lol
Active power they will see. But there are some power that are quite discreet.
There is also the ambient Warp which people can't see but Psyker do. If it's high/concentrated enough then it can be seen by regular people
so non-psykers can be sorcerers?
Yes
Sorcery is different from psyker stuff
Although it does help to have psychic potential to do sorcery
yeah it seems to be just full on magic lol, using rituals and symbolism to call on the warp
Basically, you’re using something else’s power
As opposed to just channeling the warp yourself
That being said lots of sorcerers are psykers and both can intertwine easy
so basically 40k psykers = dnd sorcerers and 40k sorcerers = dnd wizards/warlocks
dnd sorcerers have an innate ability to use magic due to their blood lines
I’m kidding yes basically
lol
also the fact the grimoires in 40k are literally books used to learn sorcery makes the special objective to take them fully understandable
They’re also icky
the more of them we take the harder it is for the cult to do their rituals
I just mean description wise, but I suppose that’s largely propaganda
The description mostly keeps in with theme too tbh
it only sometimes hypes up the weaponry
or like the shit the faction can do
And with like weapons and tech being inconsistent to hype up whatever faction is the main character so people will buy their stuff
they rarely go "they can kill everyone" unless its the 3 factions i mentioned eralier
Like every vs necrons book has necrons being as durable as wet tissue paper from anything that isn’t lasguns
And the reanimation is way turned down
Necrodermis for most Necrons isn’t super durable reslly
You just kill ‘em once with a bolter and boom
I’m talking like 1-2 bolter rounds
Yes
Most basic Necrons aren’t super special durability wise
They’re just able to come back over and over and their guns are OP
Most Necrons can’t tank that much fire power really
got to love a weapon that literally rips matter apart at the molecular level
Thats just comic book shit
Necrons are the worst example because they are a very OP faction that are actively handicapped at every oppoturnity.
it wouldn't be fun if the common footsoldier was a raid boss tbh
their main infantry can literally kill tanks
Once you get to lords and stuff it gets a lot more durable
Yay Corvus Blackstars
Mfw your great great great grandpa got it on with a dragon
their guns are insane, so ofc
Lol
yeah wars against them are literally just War of the Worlds
aka big robots/small robots moving towards you with death lasers
Fighting against Necrons is just a horror show
So they get sick and all die?
sprinkle in some melee and its kinda it
Lol
no thats PRE-Necrons
also their 9th edition new mini range had the dudes outright say its War of the Worlds inspired with all the tripods so lol
They keep failing to kill Dakota Fanning screaming?
pre necron retirement home filled with 20 year olds
that is still one of the dumbest ending i have ever seen "we need human blood. but wait we also cant survive earth born microbes" i guess no one told the aliens human blood is full of them...
I’d be cool with them being fragile if they showcased them coming back more outside of being overlooked
Well no one said they were smart
I mean they’re fragile, but they’re like scion level “fragile”
Necrons are not that fragile
True
Only lords like Imotekh are actually absurdly tanky
your average Warriors can go toe-to-toe with marines lol
they are just toy soldiers at the end of the day is the thing
I forgor smh
But it doesn’t matter because they’re really dangerous and they regen and are hard to keep down
They have critical weak spots still
they should be able to one shot them, but plot
Like reactors and stuff
I mean that’s how gauss weapons work yes
Necrons are always shown as terrifying lol
In like everything
Once you get to Imotekh level he can ignore dudes wailing on him with power weapons and stuff and out heal any damage
Overlords and lords are quite literally built better
you have to wait til he reaches his regen cap
and now im just imaging him just standing their while some space marines are whacking at him and just being mildly annoyed at most by the whole thing, ty for that
That is literally the helbrecht fight
There’s a short of an IG regiment who keep setting a trap everyday for a Necron patrol which comes through, because the planet is mostly still on “dumb” basic security protocols
And then he chops helbrechts arm off and laughs at him
yeah this is what i mean
That’s his sop
Not really it’s how they work
Nah
They’re dumb unless led
I don’t mind their guns being nerfed and then being easily killable comparatively, just so long as they showcase how hard it is to keep them down or from coming back, cause that’s the main reason why necrons are terrifying, endless, deathless hordes
i love that
"Oh they are damaged from age"
They’re still super dangerous
But basic Necrons and security is beatable by how dumb it is, once they get a commander controlling them they get super dangerous
Tomb world eepy
Yeah and again this exists so the other side has a chance
thats my point lol
they are so OP its basically necessary
These are what makes me annoyed
I guess but that’s how they function
They could come up with better plot reasons
Like you can say the same for how powerful their stuff is idk
Why? It fits them
Or just have it be less necrons accordingly
It’s a built in part of their lore
It’s just how they’re written
You just get used to it after awhile, every time its essentially:
- Overlord is mad
- Stuff is damaged because old
Again they’re mostly sleeping still
yeah a faction like them are a nightmare to balance, they literally killed gods and turned the rest into pokemon
pretty much
I guess it wouldn’t irk me as much if we saw some more encounters on the other foot
this nerfing is necessary basically
Also most dynasties aren’t nearly as big dick as the ones we typically see
or like
"We got a sniper that can literally appear anywhere and kill anyone but we wont use it because muh honor"
I mean twice dead king
lol
Where it’s a fully awakened tomb world, and now we are totally fucked for walking here
Lol
They do straight up lose
It’s just not the big dynasties
Most of them aren’t that dangerous on a galactic level
No I don’t mean that, that’s fine
Or if it is the big dynasties it isn’t their big crown worlds or important tomb worlds
They punch outside their weight class
Something something arrogance
But they often lack a lot of ability to sustain a proper massive effort from an opposing faction
And they can’t replenish actual losses
And that is the main issue of it, necrons largely just care less
And imperium will be like “you mildly annoyed us, we will send crusade fleets ad infinitum”
And underestimate
This too
necrons could use a little "producing new shit"
idk what you're supposed to do if you can't replenish ur losses, you're doomed to die to attrition
that would just be dumb since the whole setting is supposed to be in a never ending power struggle between all the factions
like necrons are very powerful but they have nerfs because otherwise they'd just win
They have the potential but won’t because they can’t properly unify or agreed
You’re dealing with a lot of egos and shit
Yeah but a lot of fights between factions that are outmatched should be a lot more uphill battles
And they don’t share a goal even of biotransference on a large scale
They have canopteks
^
Which is their replenishable stuff
Canopteks can be made infinitely
Since Imotekh is in the “being a robot is sick as fuck” party now
I’m find with stronger factions losing, just make it more like the opponent earned it
Canopteks are disposable
to like cover entire planets lol
it's their constructs right ?
Basically robots
alright so to get this straight are you saying some factions should be stronger than others or that they are stronger than others and just arent represented well
Yeah
yeah but it doesn't seem to be the bulk of their forces

It’s a can of tek
The scarab horde in question
thats because necrons are obsessed with martial superiority
Instead of like “yeah we killed all the immortal robots with 3 lasguns and the indomitable human spirit”
Also this
if they were smart they'd spam canopteks
The second one
its like an RTS where theres no unit cap lol
Because as we said
Imotekh literally loses cause he’s a dick who wants to prove he’s better than you and humiliate you
I love my lists of mostly canoptek
they like the martial way of waging war
They’re not playing optimally
“We didn’t even have to wake up most of the actual people to kill you”
Is my favorite necrons vibe
its the same reason they just dont get a Deathmark to insta-teleport into an imperial war room and kill everyone in there.
Its sometimes considered "too ez"
Of just barely needing to care
Lame ahh excuse
all of the above
Or they just don’t care
i don't think that's true. all the main factions have clear disadvantages hard coded in them that limits how good they are. the imperium might have numbers but their tech is all over the place, necrons might have tech but they have dementia, orks might seem like they win all the time but that's only because they manage to get a waaagh going in the first place, eldar seem just better but they dont have the numbers and all that
Oh yeah lets not forget the Celestial Orrery
the ability to blow up anything in the galaxy

Tbf with that
Yeah I know
It’s not fun if it’s too simple
There’s a good reason they don’t use it
No it’s more than that though
they are also actively getting attacked by another dynasty who wants to blow everything up too
they are literally fighting a 2 way war to stop another dynasty from using it rn
If you use it you literally destabilize reality
It would fuck the fundamental functions of the universe

I love my silly skeleton robot guys
they should hand over all of the leadership to the dudes who wear people skins
💀
Hey some of them do
It’s like imperial noble politics if it was cool
i think the only exception to the clear disadvantage is tau since pretty much all they lack is enough reach and resources. that might be why they feel so weird
There’s often no real distinction tbh
Tau very much should have been handled in a case where they expanded every edition to the point of just going beyond the size of something like Ultramar
but like
Beyond ones Necrons
they're perpetually stuck in the "new empire on the rise" stage
Also this
It’s more over the top and silly

🪄
that is the most cocktease gif ive seen in existence damn
Just one more new battle suit guys
It’s not like the Tau are operating optimally either anyways.
much better than the imperium
thats not a high bar
What a standard to hold yourself to
At least we still get lore on Tau R&D lol
also the smaller you are the easier it is to keep things tidy
That’s the other aspect
GW keeps on expanding Tau tech in lore
Their big advantage is predicated on their size too
do tau eat something in particular ?
I like to think they all have a goop with a caste based coloring
Asian food but sci-fi
We get some depictions of Tau food
their food-packs for fire warriors are literally instant-heatup noodles
All we know is their music sucks
lol
i like how votaan will probably have chaos corrupted AI before tau
LOL
And art iirc
taus on the neet instant noodle regime
would get the chance to develop art beyond the ethereals
maybe the water caste ig
but it would all be for propaganda
those lanky bastards
That’s air caste
Watercaste are like
they save all the protein for the fire caste
god damn avatar mechanics
bro got all the fucking protein
Earth caste are dwarves
the correct term is kickable
Puntable
If an Air caste appeared in front of me I'd grab the nearest thing to defend myself, the rest look "normal" enough
they need to be built smaller in order to be down to earth kinda guys
who knew having stunted legs made you walk funny
Ok racist smh
The greater good does not approve of this
Sizeist
the aircaste literally look like creepasta villains 💀
the earth caste would dominate the NBA
All you lanky bastards will be cut down 🪓
-10000 greater good credits
Fuck for the greater good
can GW replace aun'va yet
I don't think a single person likes the fucking drone holo pope thing
Ethereals probably do that Demolition Man sex
do they use the three seashells
I forgot vostroyans actually got modern art lol
This guy doesn’t know about the seashells!
these mf should eugenic themselves into having 5 digits
they have a scoopable feature and that's forever going to be my headcannon
Iirc the director said the future diets make poop super dry and simple
So you just pick it up
Everyone has those perfect no wipe poops
Magic
it's a distopia because stalone can't say bad words
Well he can
if he wants toilet paper
Ngl I’d give up basically all my freedoms if I had 90s Sandra Bullock as my future gf
At least it’s a dorky dystopia
Thats an old artwork

still great but not new
Vostroyan are such a dripped regiment
that art does them good justice
Oi
You can only make
Big battle looking cool type of art multiple times
Before it gets stale
What would you guys do if in the newest AoS books, someone says "What the Sigmar?" When they see a large gathering of enemies?
I'm going to blame you
Let's goooo!!!
And send you in the dan abnett room
Oh yeah wolf quick question destruction factions excluding the Gargants, because well giants suck ass in the old world, how well would their old versions fair fighting them or you know how long can they last an assault against them
Damn that's some hate for the old world giants
Of course they suck in total war and is basically just pieces of plot device you can get to use as a weapon in the old world
I mean, I would've thought you meant in fluff
Which tbh they probably lose against gargants?
idk
Gargants seem smart enough to make a basic culture anyway so
Giants don't seem that interested, which might be a testament to their intelligence but idk
You failed me
You will get hmm
The gav Thorpe special
Sounds like a wrestling move
Hmmm the Hereticus Battleforce isn't awful
This is a mega gargant, this one specifically is a gate breaker
His destiny was to break down the gates....
This is a bone grinder that they are planning to sell
In the old world these are the largest types of giants
You can see why i am not quite fond of them
He's so gaunt
Well yeah it's an awful model that's clearly too old
I guess that and the TWW treatment of them does add up though
And expensive for the same amount of price range in the gw store you can get the giga chad king brodd
AoS keeps winning
Like two Killteams, a BS squad, an Inquisitor, a Priest and a vehicle, it's unironically so much better at being a Sororitas Battleforce than the Sororitas Battleforce we got.
New rules in the codex maybe?
Maybe
Draxus and Coteaz just outshine her unfortunately
She’s way too silver bullety into just psykers and characters
And she has a melee/fallback focused ability
Bruh their new Boardgame "Tyranid Attack" doesn't contain any Tyranid models
It's just 5 pushfit Marines
Don’t underestimate the kraken eaters! They use boats for air bubbles
Hey
Bro what the hell is this monopoly ass looking motherfucking board game
Space Hulk-lite.
Like it's not even Terminators
Why make a board game if the space hulk exists...
Well Space Hulk was also a board game
Oh
The difference is they used to put effort into it
So this would be a cheaper version of the original
Like it was a proper boardgame with quite a lot of models and tile pieces
I'm surprised there isn't a game based on space marine aspirants training.
So....
Can I do my anecdote and begin my next big lore discussion??
That's if nobody else is busy this afternoon/evening.
This is like the Necrons attack board game, it’s meant to sell to people who don’t play the hobby
Ah I see
It’s pretty simplistic still but it’s fun
The space hulk box is meant for 40K hobbyists
So it's a small taste to get people addicted
It’s an insanely good box
Yeah
I wish GW would make a new space hulk box
It’s genuinely a very cool board game
You'd think the time was perfect for it
They have new ship terrain, new terminators, new genestealers
Wait, how
you know what i just realized
40k's show will fit perfectly with amazon's overly gory style
i was thinking about how gore isn't as popular as it used to be then i remembered the boys and then i remembered 40k is getting an amazon show
simply amazing
Same way as how diving bells work
They also did it in jack sparrow
Oh dragging them down with an air bubble and then using the bubble to breathe
Awesome!
Man Gargants are pretty cool guys
inb4 the bubble shell collapses due to the tremendous pressure under the ocean
(early diving was very dangerous)
Yeah they are cool
As a matter of fact the grand alliance of destruction is just that based
Also they work for any alliance
Yes like you can even somehow convince the goblins that you see that chaos group over there, you can do this hilarious prank of killing them
there are order goblins, they are called snotlings or Gnoblars
same species
and grots
they are all the same spcies
You mean the smallest goblins that are literally called after the things that are located on your nose and the ones that is considered helpers by ogres
I mean yeah
yea, all 3 are the same species just seperated by worship
What about hobgrots
those are differnet.
So the ones kruleboyz have are a offshoot
yea
Yeah now that i think about it is very fitting because Kruleboyz are orruks but it's better to say that they are an offshoot
And of course the grots they have would also be some kind of offshoot
it mgiht be because they are slightly chaos warped, or they are altered by swamp magic
no those are grots
No i'm talking about hob grots
You said they are different
Oh
soryr i thought you meant the normal grots
kruleboyz use both grots and hobgrots
funfact, their weapons and armor are made by chaos dwarves
Oh yeah they do they even have them in cages
Yeah they use literal grenades and scrap knives
moat armor kruleboyz use is chaos made
Well considering they have disgusting swamp magic i can just hazard i guess that the chaos blessing left the armor because of how stinky they are
Oh yeah that
the sloggoth
yeah
these are on all 4s
i realize the off shotos might be doing a reference to to a specific species of animal let me check
I'm not familiar with krule boys because as you can see i am an iron jaw man and this right here is just my favorite
yeee
True!!
its funny that iron jaws are terrible in the enviorments that kruleboyz thrive
and vise versa
so it natrually makes sense they woudl evolve the way they do
I do feel a bit sad for losing the bone splitterz but their range is literally older than dinosaur
yea we will probably see them in an edition o rtwo
Yeah revamped and made a bit better
i imagine htey would return with beastmen
Yeah Iron Jawz are classified as Gorruks
And krule boyz morruks
And the normal ork orruk
also tbh beastmen and bone splitterz designs were problematic if you read into it
bone splitterz more so
it was a sad but nessary lost
Their models need updates
And with beastmen in question
They get disrespected
On a local everyday basis
beastmen are way too important to the lore to be permanetly gone
yeah but in the age of myth they were really important
they bascially caused all the conflict
Yeah they are the perfect cannon fodder goons
before the chaos gods arrived
if we get khorngores and nurgores it probably wouldnt be that big of a loss then
so then you can still run the cannon fodder
with out making a new faction
lore wise i mean
it owuld fill in a gap
In terms of attention and getting absolutely railroaded what's the beastmen faction of each grand order
Or grand alliance
I would say it is obvious that the Bonesplitterz get the least attention in destruction
yea bonesplitters were the least sold faction in the game
if we get them back id like to see them given teh aos flare
What about the grand alliance of death and order
What's there so called neglected faction
death it use to be flesh eaters
but now its porbably soulblight
soulblight are really named character dependant
so you have ot like the named characters you run or why bother
More so than their old world counterparts?
yeah, there is i think only 3 generic vampire lord units
Damn
What about order
What's their beastmen equivalent
When it comes to attention given
And neglect
soulblight are about to get new unit tho
least liekd is fyreslayers
but most neglected is probably idoneth
but they are busted every edition at one point
so its fine
fyreslayers are one of my favorites so
Hey i like them too
You make runes to smack into your forehead then you have a fire headbutt
That's sick
pov you fight the weeakest fyreslayer
funfact fyreslayers explode
they eat so much magic gold they are bascially living bombs if they are too weak
Isn't literally their body flowing with unstable fire magic
they use to have a rule that they expldoe
yeah
they eat (hammer int hteir skin) chunks of 2 dead fyre gods
fire*
that is just scattered everywhere
also they are merc core
and hav betrayed order many many times
so have their flying brothers
So is it just like an old fantasy where a duardin apparently feels dishonored and so he takes an oath by eating a chunk of a dead god and just becoming a fyreslayer
honro = more runes = more power = more honor
honor is a proof of strength
I'm asking about their recruitment practices
and strenght means you dont explode when getting a rune
Is it just like an old world where if a dwarf commits something so bad he just has to suicide
nah
most are born into it
otehrs join ebcasue anger or money
Wait so being a dwarf that committed a crime doesn't immediately get sent into the explosion chamber
they have hunting lodges
yup
Holy s*** they are becoming more progressive
It only took the end of a world to happen but hey they did it
they are actually smart
if you commit a cirme you re just exiled
which honestly doent mean much
you can run exiles
Or they can either just put you in 50 hours a week in the mines
its more
exiled, do what you are already doing until we think you can come back
grimhold exile
Reject modernity become angry fire barbarian
doomhunters are the closest to the suicide thing
doomseekers*
except the difference is
the goal isnt to die
Kill the largest thing alive?
its to murder every single living thing of a specific race
oh my freinds died to orruks? I will go and kill every singel orruk until i feel like my friends deaths are repaid
or i die
Okay yeah doomseeker works
But the fact that you can put a iron jaw brute and a doomseeker
Together in a group
Is still very funny
lore wise yeah
if an orruk clan has enough urgold
they will work with them]
or you share a common enemy
fyreslayers have worked with chaos with no sign of chaos corruption
Do normal dwarves despise fyreslayers
meH
It depends huh
yeah
the dwarf factions dont hate each other and will support eachother unless one is pissed
at the other
Good good
They still have the kin part checked out
Oh yeah i forgot they have the airship dwarves too
The steampunk motherfuckers
if you ran Gotrek you can apply the rune buff to any duardin
yeah they are wonderful
overlods my beloved
no kings, no gods, only profit
So they're the merchants and opportunities
Specializing guys
they have a big as book that says all the rule
s
they were abendoned by their god
So these guys are basically the healthy chaos dwarves
so they harvest his breath to power all tehir tech
Because instead of worshiping something bad when they were abandoned they just decided yo we will become chads
the best way to summmerize their culture is
a kharadron wont accept a contract until they have read it 100 times
they are loyal to the contract to the letter
So let's say i'm an iron jaw mercenary and i decided to punch my way through one of their guilds and i decided to give them this thing that they want in promise for giving me some better scrap metal to punch into shape
they live in giant flying cities
Yeah let's just assume i somehow got there
you can do it with any fleet bascially
also if you break the contract you are bascially marked for death lmao
So let's just say i give them some rare jewels and they will give me better scrap?
