and put in the book as people to kill on sight

#

depends on waht it says

#

like, for example

#

a contract they had said they will protect a city for urgold bascially

#

but the contract didnt say how long

#

so once they get their money they do a lap and leave

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

or if your contract says to recieve an artifact

#

but you didnt specify what to do with it

#

they wont return it

#

unless you buy it form them

#

and if you dont pay for the original contract you will get drone striked

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

they dont lie, they just wont say the truth

#

the only only exception to the rule is whtn they do military contracts with each other

queen laurel

Jesus

rose thorn
#

thats what

#

this guy is fore

#

for

#

he memorized every single law and rule of their Kharadron Code

#

oh see all those books?

#

they are all their personal notes on the kharadron code

#

they are lawyers

#

they compare a contract to the code

#

let me quote their store page

#

and for their skill at concocting helpful ‘clarifications’ on the fly.

#

if you dont fill in a specific instant on the contract these guys will clairfy for you!

#

'oh we wont raise war with you? well then this will be an umpromted military training excercise!

queen laurel
#

Boring your allies to death

rose thorn
#

yea they do that too

queen laurel
#

Horrific fate that is

rose thorn
#

they are for profits and only profits

queen laurel

#

Was it the Kharadon who flooded the Cities of Sigmar with so much gold that it tanked their economy and caused them to switch to using magic water as currency?

rose thorn
#

it owuld have ot be hammerhal if so

rose thorn
#

and kharadons accepted it as a currency

#

so it became the universal currency

rocky gale
#

Hm

rose thorn
#

due to its chaos healing abilites

#

Aqua Ghyranis

rocky gale
#

Hmmm, I could swear the lore bit I was reading was the Dwarves mocking the humans for switching to Magic Water

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

the khararadon code has a specific section for grudges

#

oh yeah the code is updated constantly due to loopholes

green loom
#

Did dwarfs always have queens?

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yay

rocky gale
#

I'm pretty sure Dwarf Queens were a thing in lore, but dunno if we ever saw them on the tabletop

#

Wait no turns out there was a model for Helgar Longplaits, Queen of Krag Bryn

rose thorn
#

oh okay

rocky gale
#

Huh, so apparently Dwarves have very few women because around 10 men are born for every woman born.

rose thorn
#

in kharadrons we see alot of female duardin, its porbably a normal distribution

#

and in fyreslayers you can play them

#

female fyreslayrs

rocky gale
#

It might have changed in AoS vs the Fantasy lore tbh

rose thorn
#

lmao

rocky gale
#

Yea, the Fyreslayer warcry squad has two women in it I think

rose thorn
#

i havent checked normal dispossed tho

#

but they are mentioned in books ive read

rocky gale
#

Dunno if we have much art on them, but on the tabletop they just use the old Dwarf models from Fantasy, so none there

isn't the guy a viking or something

He was a barbarian

queen laurel

Barbarian

outer wave

Basically Conan the Barbarian that became a god

crystal forum

ah so the polar opposite of greeks

queen laurel
#

Yes

outer wave

Man founded the EoM, left, became powerful from worship, became a god

Crazy ass

So what kind of metal do they use for the stuff they sell to like other factions

rose thorn
crystal forum
#

pedant

queen laurel
#

Also sigmar is the original sigma male

rose thorn
#

also sigmar should have been naemd Muar because mu is the 12th letter

but what ever

In AoS, Im sure there's a trend among men who want to be Sigmar Males

Anyway would Heihachi survive in 40k?

He's heihachi mishima

of course he will

Fuck yeah

arctic talon

he can survive anything

Volcano, cliff, dying

He headbutted a bullet in Tekken 6

I mean hes awful, but hes great

can he beat a titan though

Probably

as a furry i'm not legally allowed

(this is a joke)

outer wave
#

Oof

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

as much as i despise it, there are weebs in the community

#

it is truly a mark of shame

#

but god damn asian furries make good art

outer wave
#

While I do think the anime style is a bit oversaturated, it is also a really nice style and one thats pretty forgiving

crystal forum
#

i've actually learned the difference between japanese, south korean and chinese art styles

#

they all seem to resemble anime but in a unique way

outer wave
#

Ooh do explain

dusk patrol
#

Japanese stuff is folded ten thousand times first

crystal forum
#

i can't really explain it well

#

but there's a sort of difference you can recognize

#

also japanese and south korean fursuits go so fucking hard

outer wave
#

Not a furry so I couldn't appreciate that fact

crystal forum
#

even as a non furry you could see the art in that stuff

#

they put a lot of effort

outer wave
#

I know Chinese furries do exist but I hardly see any Asian furries

#

I always associate it with the western portion of the world

crystal forum
#

it's a pretty small portion tbh

#

there's only like one furcon in east asia i think and it's in japan

#

meanwhile in the US there's like minimum one furcon per state

outer wave
#

Yeah that makes sense

crystal forum
#

except new york and california weirdly enough

#

so i have to drive like 8 hours minimum to go to any furcon 😤

outer wave
#

Oof

crystal forum
#

oh also bad english

#

that is very common and very funny

#

in pretty much all asian furry art

outer wave
#

Not surprised

young pecan
#

I would have expected California to be rife with furcons

crystal forum
#

right?

#

but no it's more of a new england/midwest thing

#

the biggest furcon in the world is in chicago of all places

#

i guess furries come from depressing areas

fallen plaza
#

That would be the chronically online furries

#

They all come from quite diverse places honestly

#

Like if you have enough money to buy a fur suit, you ain't got much to worry about

crystal forum
#

you'd be surprised

#

we really do follow stereotypes and it's very funny because you can tell what kind of furry somebody is just by talking with them for a couple of minuts

#

random question, what is the imperium's most power aircraft in terms of combat capability?

thick cedar
#

Why did the dark age of technology build the golden throne if there were little to no human psykers during that time?

arctic talon
celest dome
#

It's Dark Eldar iirc

arctic talon
#

A haemonculi says he can fix it given some time

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

Would make 0 sense to be craftworld or drukhari chronologically

celest dome
#

True

winter vessel
#

looks at the fine print labeled "Made from the Eldar Empire ;D" at the backrest of the golden throne

arctic talon
#

Either way a bonesinger or haemonculi could def fix the eldar components

#

The question is if the rest of the crap on top is fixable

#

Because all of it is essential to its current use

thorn zenith
#

They need to turn it off and for emps to get up for a minute

amber night
#

does ork have souls ? they dont go to the warp after death right?

storm jungle
#

Yeah they got souls, and they all go to Gork & Mork

amber night
#

has gork and mork ever confirmed to be existent?

storm jungle
#

Yes, many times. They entirely exist and can sometimes even bring Orks back as a form of reincarnation when they die

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

Yes he is a grot but he is still reincarnating and a greenskin

amber night
#

wait

#

i thuoght the explanation for his reincaration was that ghaz keep getting a grot when he kills him , and however the orkish power of belief brought him back

queen laurel
#

But Ghaz

#

As of right now is the largest ork in the galaxy

#

And has been called the prophet of GORK and MORK

amber night
#

yes

#

the great green

#

didnt makari also has vision of gork and mork and the korks

queen laurel
#

Yeah basically they gave him some extra perks and allow him to reincarnate makari

amber night
#

pretty sure thats when ghaz first got the implants

#

its very awsome even wholesome to see ghaz mature beyond from a simple ork to become the monstority

#

when he aplogize to makori was wholesome

queen laurel
#

When they made contact with each other they had visions and stuff

#

At that point Ghaz can just bring back makari

amber night
#

whats the powersclaing of ghaz now

#

didnt he just got smoked by some space wolves?

storm jungle
#

yeah but that was just mostly plot armor

#

also he went against a special character

#

no chance

queen laurel
#

Like it's a toy basically

#

He's more than 20 ft at this point

amber night
#

holy shit

queen laurel
#

Yeah he could run fades with a group of ogryns and turn them into cheese

#

Oh yeah his heart is literally an engine

amber night
#

i wonder

#

a;sp

#

he can get revived

#

if they have the parts

#

if anything that can kill him besides a special character that at this point

queen laurel
amber night
#

its just funny they just put random mechanical parts and transplants other's ork body

queen laurel
#

He is large enough to survive a direct shot from a Leman russ

amber night
#

wait what?

queen laurel
#

So you will need to literally put a lot of effort into shooting him

amber night
#

so

queen laurel
#

And he just like stumbled back

amber night
#

safe to say he is like space marine captain level?

queen laurel
#

Wounded but survived it

queen laurel
amber night
#

primarch level any time soon?

#

or he needs more wars and more combat with named characters?

queen laurel
#

*beast

#

As of right now he is just a large ork that is smarter than average

amber night
#

fuck

queen laurel
#

Well very smart actually

amber night
#

he can speak high gothic

#

and use stratgey

queen laurel
#

Yeah

#

Yeah he is way smarter than your average ork

amber night
#

i hope theres more book about him coming out

#

i am currently on the prophet of waagh

queen laurel
amber night
#

lets say if they found a titan or a really good draughtnaught will that be a power spike for him ?

queen laurel
#

If you mean a new body

#

Dok could just make him a new one

#

Grotsnik

#

Is very good at that

amber night
#

so far my time line for him its urk- 3 wars of armgaddeon- wars with tyrannid cuase of an inquistor- fighting a space wolve and getting resurrected ? what am i missing ?

amber night
queen laurel
#

Grotsnik frankensteined a body for him

#

And if you're confused of what he did

#

I'm pretty sure

#

After the second war of Armageddon then he went on a trip

#

To strengthen himself

amber night
#

he fled

queen laurel
#

And in the second war i think that's when he got wounded

amber night
#

yeah

queen laurel
#

Not the second one the third war

#

After that he was rebuilt

#

And now you see the form he is using is the modern day one

amber night
queen laurel
amber night
#

i meant can grotnsik incoporate parts of a dreadnaught and a titan too boost him even more

queen laurel
#

At his current size

#

On dreadnoughts

#

You can only really add small components of a titan on him

amber night
#

are you disappointed at the war gear of that he has

#

its not super special like other named characters

queen laurel
#

It's a very generic loadout but it's a special type of weapon

amber night
#

i guess, but i was kinda wishing like some kind of ancient or some op description or origin of the weapons, like the humans,

#

he is a ork

#

his weapons has to be homemade and original so i get it

storm jungle
#

If it aint broke dont fix it

queen laurel
#

It suits him

#

Not every character needs to use an ancient weapon

#

From like a bygon era

#

And remember Mork's roar his gun arm and Gork's Klaw

#

Are one of a kind by ork standards

amber night
#

valid point

#

are we gonna see more representation of orks in the settings, like more sub character that has their own models

storm jungle
#

They are xenos so probably not much

queen laurel
#

A new model new books

#

They even had like a book club

#

Related event

#

And amazing rules for the table top

#

So they're going to be out of the spotlight for a awhile

amber night
#

get it, thank you !

#

so i assume we will see the orks having more of a presence soon ?

#

like in major events regarding chaos and imperium ?

queen laurel
#

Gw isn't really consistent with how they move the setting about

amber night
#

damn

open pumice
#

it kinda sucks, tbh. The orks could have so much more done with them if GW just wanted too, but they are suffering form a case of "the competent black library authors want to write about important lore events and not about orks in some backwater in segmentum pacificus, so woe, mike brooks be upon ye"

dusk patrol
#

Competent BL authors like money

storm jungle
#

Slop sells.

dusk patrol
#

Hence Mike Brooks having a job

storm jungle
#

Its a bit more complicated than that but kinda

dusk patrol
#

There’s exactly one Ork book I’d say is actually well written

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

And Brooks name isn’t on the cover

open pumice
#

Brooks has written one (1) good black library book

dusk patrol
#

I’d argue two I’d actually recommend but Rites of Passage does have issues

open pumice
#

I have never read it so I can't speak on it, but I haven't heard particularly fabulous things

dusk patrol
#

It helps it’s the only one of it’s subject matter really

#

Besides like Wolfblade

open pumice
#

GW handing their msot under loved factions to their most mediocre of writers

dusk patrol
#

Still mad he got the Lion book. At least they forced him to just write a basic story

queen laurel
#

In terms of characteristics in terms of handling situations

#

Well yeah that's where he falls flat

open pumice
#

The lion book is his only like, actually decent brooks novel IMO

dusk patrol
#

I disagreed mostly but

#

I think he goes for super low hanging fruit for Orks

queen laurel
#

Characteristically i will give his orks a good grade on how they handle situations

dusk patrol
#

Ghaz book is the only time I’ve really been impressed by Ork writing

queen laurel
open pumice
#

it's basic and it's a bit dry in the middle but it works

I would put dimmadollars down that he got a bunch of consultation from the heresy team

queen laurel
#

You know them acting funny them being quite serious stuff like that

#

On what situations they got in

#

Well yes that's where he flats

dusk patrol
#

My issue with his Ork books though is more to do with, and this is a reoccurring issue, how he writes everyone else

#

He does good action scenes but even that falls flat by how lame he makes the enemy a lot of times

queen laurel
#

At least he's good at making ork characters

#

Like he's at least good with something they have

dusk patrol
#

The best BL action scenes by far are when the author actually builds up the enemy forces

queen laurel
#

Personality

dusk patrol
#

And makes them interesting and dangerous seeming

queen laurel
#

Like his writing isn't the worst

#

Just a bit generic

#

Straightforward nothing impressive mid

#

Good there for dumb fun

dusk patrol
#

This is actually my primary issue with the End and the Death which Abnett is normally much better at, there’s a lot of action scenes where he’s not trying

queen laurel
#

Writing for him is practically a drug

#

And he literally edges every time he does it

dusk patrol
#

Sure but he’s normally really good at writing that kind of action

#

Like contrast Saturnine with the EatD action scenes

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

It needed to be edited down

queen laurel
#

Throw him to the styx

dusk patrol
#

I would argue most of the actual best novels in BL are heresy books

open pumice
#

and is absolutely the best multi author series ever made by BL

queen laurel
#

Like they could have definitely shortened it

dusk patrol
#

Sure but it doesn’t change that

queen laurel
#

Like it wouldn't be as bad if they actually shortened it

dusk patrol
#

The fact it works as well as it does is kinda wild

#

You can also skip most of the actually bad books

#

Thank god

#

Kymes stuff largely isn’t necessary

open pumice
# queen laurel You have to admit though it ran for way too long

I think the issue with it's run time is there are so many novels that have 0 impact on the rest of the series, and the pacing is all sorts of off

you can tell they originally intended for it to just be 10 books, and it spun way out of hand with how popular the first 3 were

#

Like
I love the tallarn book
but good lord is it completely meaningless, even by itself

dusk patrol
#

It’s one of those things where it’s hard to fault them with how the series got expanded unexpectedly

#

They had to pivot a lot and it’s surprising it turned out as well as it did honestly

open pumice
#

thats

dusk patrol
#

That’s also a big strength of it

open pumice
#

what saves it's hideus run time tbh

dusk patrol
#

You can pretty easily ignore arcs you don’t care about

#

It has major issues but overall it’s very well done I’d say

#

Siege isn’t perfect either but it ended very strong

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

I actively hate Kyme ngl

queen laurel
#

And was literally threatened to be killed i think

#

With how garbage he wrote

dusk patrol
#

I mean that’s a bit much

open pumice
queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

But you can tell with the siege they’re aware of who their best authors are lol

#

Considering who got to write the final ones and who didn’t get to write any

open pumice
queen laurel
#

I'm not an overwatch fan

#

If i actively hated an author i'm just going to say they are garbage and not bother with them because i actually have other things to do like look up more Iron Jaw news and art

dusk patrol
#

I’ve never heard of him getting any threats also but I could see him getting hate mail

#

And he probably deserves it to some extent obviously depending on what kinda hate mail

open pumice
#

unfortunately
guy haley still got in, and john french got to write two books?

queen laurel
#

CS Goto for me

#

He somehow made Gabriel

#

A very bad thing

#

And he was one of the few space marines i like d

open pumice
#

c.s. goto is either worshiped or hated, and I hate him more for that

dusk patrol
#

Tbh I’ve never really liked Blood Ravens

#

But yes Goto is bad

#

I personally dislike Kyme more because how much he’s written and continues to and how much he’s ruined or fucked up major factions he “loves”

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

He’s the main reason no good salamander book exists

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Despite them having a shitton of books

queen laurel
#

Like literally

#

Back to back

#

Complete ass

dusk patrol
#

They’re so boring

#

It’s offensively boring

#

And the worst part is the ideas aren’t even bad

#

Or uninteresting

#

He’s just so bad he makes them bad and uninteresting

open pumice
#

he just can't execute them with any finesse

dusk patrol
#

Like I have some issues with Guymers Iron Hands books because they’re not always great, but he does always make them interesting or has really cool idea and fluff he adds to them

#

Background and extra stuff

#

He also does their fluff and codex stuff

#

Kyme can’t even make that stuff cool

#

He has how many salamander characters with literally completely opposing views and somehow I can’t tell them apart still

#

They all feel like the same character

queen laurel
#

Even though they are quite well known

dusk patrol
#

He definitely doesn’t help

queen laurel
#

Because getting into their characters and stuff is so f****** boring

#

Yeah this book series with salamanders look cool let me check it

#

Dies of boredom

open pumice
#

Part of it is also salamanders have been with the one-two curse of "haven't had any rules of their own since 8th ed" and "have been relegated to a 'codex compliant' chapter"

dusk patrol
#

They have so many cool ideas too but I can’t imagine Kyme helps with making their fluff interesting either

open pumice
#

so if you are getting into the game, the best you can do with salamanders is play generic space marines with like one special character and firestorm assault

which feels like shit when the blood angels or wolfwolfwolf or black templars player rolles up with an entire book of extra rules

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

They exist off of memes of people thinking they’re nice and wholesome

storm jungle
#

I loved Pariah Nexus' ending for that

#

people getting mad at guardsmen killing children

#

like

green loom
storm jungle
#

who tf do you think the Imperium is

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

Even though they’re written to just be idiots half the time cause

#

Kyme

queen laurel
green loom
#

Salamanders were an extension of Space Marines in 8th

open pumice
green loom
#

BT in 9th were a supplement

dusk patrol
#

It doesn’t help tbf either their gimmick is hard to make work on the tabletop often

green loom
#

Same as Sallies

dusk patrol
#

Which runs into their problem with the heresy stuff largely

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

There’s plenty of stuff for non UM chapters

#

Space wolves are the only one which has mostly been neglected so far and that’ll probably change in future editions

open pumice
green loom
#

Yeah sorry I'll take away the Agents' cake and give it to this random chapter smarf

dusk patrol
#

That’s just 10e rules though

#

They’re not all UM

#

They’re all marines now

#

They simplified everything

open pumice
#

if your new to the hobby you get hit witht he double whammy fo your books sucking, and your rules being indistinct

which sucks.

green loom
#

40k isn't Horus Heresy, Sallies are a small part of the marines who already hog the spotlight from dozens of other factions staregryn

dusk patrol
#

Dark Angels have gotten a ton of stuff recently too

open pumice
green loom
#

Also let's not pretend sallies are terribly deviant from standard doctrine smilecat

dusk patrol
#

Well

storm jungle
green loom
#

As a dex

#

They're now Agents

storm jungle
#

They've been Agentminated

open pumice
#

ah L

dusk patrol
#

They’re also a normal marine option now

storm jungle
#

now its our Corvus Blackstar

storm jungle
#

they are barely an army

Black Templars aren't a codex faction, they're a supplement to space marines

storm jungle
#

just space marines in black

#

who are uh, extra racistier i guess?

open pumice
storm jungle
#

Yeah whenever people ask me about DW as an army

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

i just point them at the store

green loom
#

I'm excited to see how Agents work

storm jungle
#

and its like 4 pages

dusk patrol
open pumice
green loom
#

No, they're all their own codex

open pumice
#

they're still the only marines who get to have cool shit

open pumice
#

I am holdingt he BA supplement index in my hand, right now

green loom
#

Oh wait my b they're also supplements KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

Goofy ahh alcohol drinking certified minis

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

Ok so why are we bitching about it now?

green loom
#

Though they're all reasonably unique with fancy units

dusk patrol
#

There was a whole fucking kroot release jsut recently

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

Guard got a huge update

#

Eldar are getting updates

storm jungle
#

"getting"

dusk patrol
#

Genestealers awhile back

storm jungle
#

💀

queen laurel
#

That's funny

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Yeah cause it pays for all that

storm jungle
#

Im aware

#

christ

#

"well duh it pays the money"
"well duh you got your update"

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

They’re not being made in place of those

storm jungle
dusk patrol
queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Most people who like them don’t even know most of their proper lore

#

Which is fine but I mean it’s how it is

green loom
#

And like, most of their units would just

#

Be basic marines

dusk patrol
#

Most fans are very surface level

forest orbit
#

Its a fine complaint point either tbh, I got like 3-4 loyalist marine loving friends who absolutely hate the space marine bloat

open pumice
forest orbit
#

We dont need more primaris unit that fires X-Gun

#

💀

open pumice
queen laurel
#

Yeah honestly they need to trim down the model count

dusk patrol
forest orbit
open pumice
dusk patrol
#

I just don’t buy stuff I don’t care for

dusk patrol
#

They exist to pay for everything else, and I’m fine with that.

forest orbit
storm jungle
#

I was gonna say lol

dusk patrol
#

For the first time in decades we have GW obviously trying to add a large variety of new stuff

dusk patrol
#

So yeah

#

Just don’t buy it

forest orbit
open pumice
# forest orbit **AAAAAAAAAAAA**

I still can't beleive we got a 3rd flamethrower unit before we got jump packs

i was going to actually murder somone at GW if they didn't come out before the codex

green loom
#

In fairness to marine bloat it exists because it was popular and now the bloat loops back in on itself and makes it more popular via sheer volume so it's existence makes sense

dusk patrol
#

GW is actually updating and adding in new stuff for a wide variety of factions for the first time in decades and people are somehow still finding a way to bitch

forest orbit
#

so even WORSE

open pumice
green loom
forest orbit
dusk patrol
#

Marine bloat always existed because GW likes money

green loom
#

Also the inceptors and suppressors

dusk patrol
forest orbit
#

doesnt change anything lol

open pumice
forest orbit
#

"You got your update so shut up" is not really a fair point in anyway lol

#

and again i say this as the space marine player 💀

storm jungle
green loom
#

Like 9th and 10th have been catching up with AoS in terms of large faction revamps alongside marine drops(which basically guarantee profit lel)

dusk patrol
#

It’s way better than it ever has been so yeah

#

It does change stuff

forest orbit
#

Thats uhhh arguable but sure

forest orbit
dusk patrol
#

It also makes me think people don’t actually care when there are huge updates and they still endlessly bitch

forest orbit
#

but i got too many marines to paint...

open pumice
queen laurel
#

Even in the lore stuff

open pumice
raven stone
queen laurel
#

In the model department i would say up to you if you want to spend money

forest orbit
green loom
# forest orbit Thats uhhh arguable but sure

I mean, not really
Instead of like, getting say, a shitty supplement rulebook for scions(psychic awakening)
Guard actually got a large chunk of their roster updated, a new tank, new characters

open pumice
forest orbit
#

that makes me want to get AoS more now

#

thank you KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

LOL

green loom
#

Paging

queen laurel
forest orbit
#

Age of Sigmar models SLAP yeah

#

you gotta be a nutjob to deny it

dusk patrol
#

Oh boy more pointless Old World vs Age of Sigmar discussion

green loom
#

Indeed

open pumice
# forest orbit Ah that explains it

My not biased take on AoS is it's fine as a game system with gorgeous models but the lore leaves me so sad
fantasy died so that way everybody could never have any concequences for their actions

dusk patrol
#

Jsut like what you like smh

storm jungle
#

Me when Eternal doesnt like an argument so he just says and complains

forest orbit
#

Thats rude

dusk patrol
#

It’s not even an argument

#

It’s just endless cat fighting over nothing

#

It’s easy to enjoy both

green loom
#

Did fantasy dwarfs always have full on queens(in leadership positions)
Or is that new
If new then hell yeah

forest orbit
storm jungle
#

and people of course complained

#

because warhammer fans lol

open pumice
queen laurel
#

So not as prominent

green loom
forest orbit
#

Pretty much yeah

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

I prefer age of sigmar orruks compared to warhammer orcs but warhammer old world is still pretty good

dusk patrol
#

I don’t care for TOW tabletop much but I like it as a setting a bit more than AoS

queen laurel
#

You want your low fantasy pill go for it

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

If you like higher fantasy with different realms and s*** go with aos

dusk patrol
#

AoS I enjoy the tabletop more generally and I enjoy the setting

green loom
#

Crooked Moonz reprezent letsgo 🌙

forest orbit
#

AoS's tabletop also seems extremely accessible which i like, it made me realise why its popular

open pumice
# forest orbit I like the lore tbh, its basically about as fucked up as WHF you just get 8 real...

the lore saddens me because every faction faces 0 consequences for their actions

they're either so numerous that a total loss means nothing, or they just come back from the dead with concequences™️ (real)

it's got a very similar issue to 40k where nothing ever happens because that would require somone to have concequences, so instead it's just a massive arms race of who can face the least concequences the fastest

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

But I don’t like the high fantasy stuff as much always so I’m gonna lean TOW as a setting

forest orbit
#

every chaos invasion is just "oh its fine we'll rebuild Praag for the 10394th time"

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

WHF the issue was more they couldn’t do anything

forest orbit
#

Ehhhh

green loom
dusk patrol
#

They legit hit roadblocks with not being able to advance stuff

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

AoS very much has consequences, I feel like this is just an extremely surface viewpoint of someone that dislikes the setting admittedly.

queen laurel
#

Yeah we will just send another crusade to fix it

open pumice
queen laurel
#

Zero consequence on a warhammer setting

open pumice
queen laurel
#

That is standard at this point

dusk patrol
#

I generally think AoS is too big as a setting but I also get why they made it that way

forest orbit
#

It allows more freedom i like it

queen laurel
#

They need to get that money baller era

forest orbit
#

its like a middle point between 40k/WHF

green loom
#

Oh hey is that Morathi ascending to godhood proper and letting bits of slaanesh out? Good thing nothing has consequences

open pumice
#

when the story did mvoe forward, everyone got concequences, and the end times is till GW's worst writing

dusk patrol
#

I do enjoy TOW for how it has a proper world and feel to it

storm jungle
#

I still wont forget the times when everyone in the ye old internet forums were like

#

"man this gameplay of WHF is dogshit i hope it explodes"

#

it does

queen laurel
#

Gw wanted to make a new fantasy so they did

#

A writing event and making something new is a completely different

#

Thing

open pumice
storm jungle
#

so like its very much whatever

dusk patrol
#

AoS is massive

open pumice

I'm probably mixing up my history but i don't give a crap

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

My issue with End Times was more execution and laziness of it since they had a really cool opportunity there

open pumice
queen laurel
#

I thought his entire stick was being smart

#

The world is ending and this guy is going to save it

#

What do i do

open pumice
dusk patrol
#

Also I think Total Warhammer and VT proved people do love the actual setting

queen laurel
#

Correct

storm jungle
open pumice
#

gelt went out like a bitch and it pisses me off

green loom
dusk patrol
#

They jsut didn’t have a vehicle for it before

storm jungle
#

if those games didnt exist people would definitely not care as much either

green loom
#

If anything the worst parts of the shitshow would be on Nagash

dusk patrol

The games provided a way for casuals to like actually see the setting

"I MISS FANTASY SO MUCH"

Guy that played TOW for 2 hours

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Whereas before it had some books few people really read and a outdated tabletop

queen laurel
#

After realizing how much better they do the orcs there

open pumice
queen laurel
#

I love you old world orcs but iron jaws

#

You got my attention

storm jungle
#

Its about as annoying as all these braindead morons going GW is ditching AOS for TOW

#

Like... are you okay mister

queen laurel
#

And see the new models and they will realize that it's not going to get railroaded

open pumice
storm jungle
#

Okay but

#

the stock dropped for a week

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

clearly they were right

green loom

Less than

dusk patrol
#

Cavill is totally leaving guys

#

Any day now

green loom

It dropped like a % for a day

storm jungle

Im so glad Cavill is not superman anymore, the moment i see him i just remember 40k threads sucking his cock 24/7

He's just like me! He MUST hate women!

open pumice

#

or people going "a rogue intern did this"

WHAT FUCKING ROGUE INTERN

#

IS THIS THE COLD WAR?

dusk patrol
#

I used to like women and then I had to interact with Dilara consistently, she’s swaying me back

storm jungle
#

Hell yeah

dusk patrol
#

Sexism is so back boys

open pumice
storm jungle
#

The warhammer fandom is basically split between

  • People that complain about minis
  • People that complain about lore
  • People that complain after seeing a black space marine or female knight
dusk patrol
#

I should be a 40k tuber tbh

#

It seems really easy

storm jungle
#

If you got a good format its easy

#

lol

dusk patrol

Just gotta make slide shows of official art and AI art bullshit

This is why we love the Astartes guy

Cause he never fucking talked

dusk patrol

Rare trait for a 40k tuber

storm jungle
#

Honestly just make a space marine focused channel and milk shit like Rylanor, ez money

green loom

He talked on his Patreon if memory serves

storm jungle

Yeah he did

#

he stopped doing warhammer content a few years ago

Also he's pretty tall apparently.

dusk patrol

Why is that shitty mustache back

queen laurel
#

Yeah he's enjoyable as long as it isn't warhammer

#

Like he has some good reviews here and there

#

And he's actually friendly

green loom

And he's not an awful human being

queen laurel

#

Ehhhhhhh

#

bricky is too meme-lore imo

queen laurel
#

But you should very quickly move on when you want to learn more

green loom
#

Decent in reference to his 40k content is debatable

storm jungle
#

even if he actively advertises it

queen laurel
#

Yeah that is also a problem

storm jungle
#

his fandom is ass

green loom
#

Not the least because he literally can't stay on script

queen laurel
#

Yeah he's non 40k content are good

storm jungle
#

I'd also rather like... listen to them talk about lore comedy or not, instead of advertising their porn art for 20 minutes

queen laurel
#

That i will give him 40k

#

He needs to stay away from that

dusk patrol
#

I’d recommend Arbiter Ian as a sleep aid

storm jungle
#

you rude fuck

queen laurel
#

Of course you do

green loom

Like the big faction intro shit
He literally has the script in his hands and can't stay on script

open pumice
# storm jungle bricky is too meme-lore imo

it is meme-lore
but ti's a good entry point

i wouldn't go to bricky for good lore content, liek I'm not a fan of his podcast
but hsi "every faction expol.ained" video is good

dusk patrol
#

So many of the good loretubers are

#

I do love em though

storm jungle

DK is also like, borderline braindead

Which again is weird because his general gaming content is pretty good

"HOHOHO HOLY SHIT"

open pumice

I only do hard YouTube content

#

Overdoses

green loom
#

I use YouTube for music and to listen to law and order as background noise

dusk patrol
#

I like SVU, cause Ice Cube not knowing about every single super well know sick crime is hilarious

storm jungle
#

Ian is still my top favorite because hes like the only lore youtuber ive seen that will pause a video midway and explian IRL/game background shit around his video content.

dusk patrol
#

Or is it Ice T

#

Whichever

green loom
#

I like Munch

storm jungle
#

Like the Anphelion Project where he reminds the audience the boxset was a big deal because we saw flying nids for the first time

#

its neat

dusk patrol

Yeah Ian adds good context to stuff

queen laurel

Also he you know

Does basic research

Dilara you can't fool me, I KNOW you're a tourist

A rare thing for 40k tubers

It helps that hes like

an actual oldie person that played the game from the Ancient Times

queen laurel

He's definitely right now one of the worst

storm jungle

LOL

queen laurel
#

He can somehow give me a brain hemorrhage

storm jungle
#

I loved it when he went after that awful hair dude

#

for like...

#

"copying his content"

dusk patrol

At least he did that stupid copyright thing or whatever

#

So he’s more hated now

storm jungle

Yeah that was a blessing ngl

#

huge ego on that cunt

queen laurel

Honestly i bare even watched his videos because they were all garbage

#

Even when the topic is within my interest

I can barely get into how he talks

Me watching a content creator I always hated but didn’t have a good reason to really get into some drama so now I’m justified in my irrational hatred

Yeah Luetin is 50/50

queen laurel

Yeah his videos are just incredibly unnecessarily long though

storm jungle
#

i like him but he also strikes me as a pretentious asshat sometimes

queen laurel

Detailed as hell don't get me wrong

storm jungle
#

"I know the Warp is purposefully not explainable but im gonna do it anyway"

#

then he talks about quantum physics

like... bro stop

Thank god for drama tubers, truly they are scum and I love to listen to scum recap some pointless Mario cart speedrun drama that I knew nothing about prior

I have strong opinions now though

They do good work

One of the rare times i agree with you

Especially since it’s never even like fun mean boss stuff

It’s always like “ugh he’s so mean to me”

queen laurel

Never “he threw a chair at me and threatened to have me killed”

#

That would be fun

"he made me fly back from my son's birth so he could steal my hair gel"

"did he do meth today or just cocaine"

Like I remember one guy was talking about how an actor who was rude and mean on set and I looked them up and his fucking wife had just died

It wasn’t a big name but it’s just that kinda stuff

There’s this obsession with posting about how mean a celebrity was to you on TikTok and stuff it’s weird

Mfer you’re handing them coffee and based off how you’re talking about it I wish they’d have throw it in your face
