NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Real

[shell mason]

I plead the fifth

[queen laurel]

Once again I ask every single warden besides Dils to just ignore us

[shadow plover]

If I suddenly go quiet it's because the Mossad got to me because of that joke

[fallen plaza]

Teehee

In here before someone apologizes because they keep mixing up the two

[queen laurel]

fuck it who is the warhammer character that has the closest mustache to hitler

[storm jungle]

LMAO STOP

[shell mason]

Erebuses dad

[hallow saddle]

🥱Warhammer the Horus heresy 🥱

[dusk patrol]

Yes I also dislike popular thing

Less popular other thing is much cooler and better, frfr.

[shell mason]

"This luger will send a Christian to hell." - The Emperor of mankind

[storm jungle]

worst part is that is accurate

[near wasp]

[shell mason]

yee

Yk what makes me think

A Lasgun never jams

but in the hammer and bolter animated show, it did

[storm jungle]

Well yeah its a gun

[shell mason]

think about that

[storm jungle]

if its inner functions get fucked it wont work

[dusk patrol]

They can jam it’s just not common

[storm jungle]

^

[dusk patrol]

They’re notoriously reliable

[storm jungle]

they are basically 40k's AK-47

[dusk patrol]

But that doesn’t mean unjammable

[shell mason]

So your saying GW lied to me?

[dusk patrol]

There’s even rules in the RPG for if you roll bad enough to jam, you roll a 1d10, and only on a 10 does it actually jam

[shell mason]

that's crazy

Crazy cuz that's nerd stuff

This chat is deader than dead

so I'll ask this

Even morty had the look to get people to follow him, what are ya'll thoughts?

[dusk patrol]

He kinda saved them so idk

Primarchs are good at being charismatic when they wanna be

People look for different leadership qualities in people

[shell mason]

Look at pre Big E morty

he was a pretty cool dude

well less of a ass hole

[storm jungle]

If you think thats strange you should look at most leaders/dictators around the world.

People will follow a leader type person for almost any reason

[spring cairn]

anyone would follow someone who's like 8 meters tall

and giga jacked

rules of nature

[dusk patrol]

This 12 foot tall giant shows up, says he wants to kill the evil sorcerer overlords who kill, rape, and torture your people, and he can actually do it

And you’re surprised why he was able to win people over?

He’s notable for still having a functional legion after the heresy, he basically has the eternal loyalty of the Barabans, and that translates into the newer recruits often too

[crystal forum]

so scythes are the icon of death right

who thought it was a good idea to make the nurgle guy the reaper incarnate

i thought nurgle was all about shitty life and all that

[arctic talon]

Nurgle is life and death

[crystal forum]

i guess

would have been cool if there was more than 4 chaos gods is all im sayin

[dusk patrol]

Would be cool if you got some bitches

[arctic talon]

I mean there are(sort of)

there absolutely are in WHFB and AoS

[crystal forum]

getting one tonight

not sure about you

[dusk patrol]

Your mom is busy unfortunately

[crystal forum]

thankfully your dad isn't

going to a nice restaurant with him

[crystal forum]

how many actual gods are there in aos

[arctic talon]

like just chaos gods?

[dusk patrol]

At least 5

[arctic talon]

or like gods

[crystal forum]

what's the difference

[arctic talon]

I mean the chaos gods are chaosy

they have daemons and stuff

[storm jungle]

nothing minus them sometimes taking active part in battles sometimes

[arctic talon]

normal gods generally don't have daemons

in AoS

[storm jungle]

Khorne once smashed a sorceror city out of the sky because he thought they were cowards

lmao

[crystal forum]

so those golden guys arent demons

[storm jungle]

who?

[arctic talon]

yeah

stormcast are like chaos warriors

order edition

[storm jungle]

Oh lol

[crystal forum]

are they equivalent to chaos champions in 40k

[storm jungle]

No

stormcasts got their own units/ranks/champions

just like any army

Instead of (mostly) cutting you apart like chaos warriors though

they instead smash your brains in with hammers

big difference i know

https://tenor.com/view/hammer-gif-3284201032904258120

[crystal forum]

that's pretty based

[storm jungle]

yeah half their weaponry is blunt weapons because sigmar/warhammer

they dont acknowledge this much but its pretty brutal lmao

[arctic talon]

But for Chaos Gods: The Big 4, Hashut, The Great Horned Rat, Necoho, The Great Gatherer, Devourer of Existence, Ever-Raging Flame

these ones are the confirmed ones to exist

the last 3 just have titles because the warcry warbands are too stupid to know more are worshipping minor chaos gods

[crystal forum]

god damn 40k chaos is boring compared to this

[arctic talon]

Necoho could honestly be removed from the list

bro is mentioned in like a single story in AoS

[crystal forum]

is malal a thing in aos

[arctic talon]

Malice prolly exists

maybe?

Malal doesn't exist

Oh also Vashtor

exists in AoS lol

[dusk patrol]

Rare case of a fantasy universe not being lame as fuck and every dork using a sword

[arctic talon]

He's the "unknown master of the forge of souls"

[storm jungle]

💀

[arctic talon]

BY THE HAMMER AND THE EMPIRE

[crystal forum]

sugmar

I ABJURE THEE

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside for 40k chaos gods we have

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/summon-the-elector-counts-karl-franz-warhammer-gif-24158006

[arctic talon]

The Big 4, Vashtor(sorta), The Raptor God(whatever the fuck it is), and the rest of the Atheric domain stuff from horus heresy

I'm not pulling up because I'm lazy

[dusk patrol]

This really Marshals the Men

[arctic talon]

For normal gods holy shit there's way too many gods in AoS

I am not naming them all you can google them yourself lol

[storm jungle]

it helps that they mostly kept most of the WHF gods to some degree too

the variety is great

[dusk patrol]

Most of them are bitches anyways

[storm jungle]

💀

[arctic talon]

I forgot

are Synessa and Dexcessa minor chaos gods

[storm jungle]

Nah

[arctic talon]

because of how Slaanesh "birthed" them from Morathis fuck up of the century

[dusk patrol]

They’re legal

[celest dome]

Just greater daemon

[crystal forum]

genuine question, do dwarves run fast

[arctic talon]

alright

just really big greater daemons

[arctic talon]

not really no

[celest dome]

Notably not

[dusk patrol]

That being said

Slayers aren’t slow

[arctic talon]

^

[crystal forum]

do their units have less movement on tabletop

[arctic talon]

they can jump still

Yes

[dusk patrol]

They just tend to leap

[arctic talon]

Dwarfs big gimmick on the WHFB tabletop

is that they're slow as shit

and reliable

[crystal forum]

so you're saying dwarves can DUNK

[dusk patrol]

Somehow yes

[celest dome]

Table top wise and Total War have them be the slowliest marcher and hitter.

[arctic talon]

in AoS Cities of Sigmar dwarfs are very durable and slow

[dusk patrol]

Slayers are a unique case

[arctic talon]

Khadron are fast for dwarfs

[dusk patrol]

Most dwarves are wearing a lot of gear

[arctic talon]

this is excluding their boats

their boats are fast as shit and you will regret the horde of angry flying dwarfs descending upon you

[dusk patrol]

Ironbreakers armor is too heavy for most races

Same with their weapons often

[crystal forum]

so pro tip for avoiding angry dwarf is running away, got it

[storm jungle]

Kharadrons are literally if you get born as a dwarf you picking the corpo lifepath

[arctic talon]

I mean they have guns

[storm jungle]

💀

[dusk patrol]

Hope he doesn’t have a gun

[arctic talon]

Khadron in AoS have laser guns

lol

[crystal forum]

i didnt account for this

[dusk patrol]

Their firearms aren’t known for missing

Some have actual implied aimbot

[arctic talon]

There is one thing dwarf firearms are known for, accuracy and reliability

[dusk patrol]

Through runes and shit

[arctic talon]

If you want a big fucking boomstick go get a human gun

[celest dome]

Slow persistent hunter...

[spring cairn]

a distinctive lack of halberds in aos sadly

[arctic talon]

Dwarfs will be selling the same guns their grandpa sold 500 years ago

Maybe with slightly newer materials

[crystal forum]

but they cant ride all the rollercoasters at six flags

[arctic talon]

you book

[dusk patrol]

At least there’s the second best weapon

[celest dome]

Woah hold your horses.
New ? As in untested ? Not in my Karak

[dusk patrol]

Spears

[spring cairn]

axe+spear my beloved

[arctic talon]

I'll have you know those materials were tested for 389 years by several dwarven smiths

[spring cairn]

wfb understood that

[storm jungle]

[spring cairn]

yeah but they're on these boring guys

[storm jungle]

"boring"

christ

lmao

[dusk patrol]

It won’t load so I have to assume Dilara posting unrelated stuff

[storm jungle]

Undead my beloved

[spring cairn]

1 handed halberd

[arctic talon]

He's simply built better

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-anguish-despair-gif-13915908866750092639

[storm jungle]

Cities of Sigmar also cant really look like Empire men-at-arms or GW will get mad.

[arctic talon]

also the Cities of Sigmar use halberds

[storm jungle]

Hence the more forced distinctiveness

[arctic talon]

There are literally guys who still look like that in the new AoS book

💀

[storm jungle]

IM TALKING TABLETOP WISE

SHUT THE FUCK UP

[arctic talon]

landsknecht drip never dies

[spring cairn]

the best thing ever made

[arctic talon]

CoS suffer from tabletop syndrome

lol

which is wow so much variety in lore

[spring cairn]

Cos minis don't have halberds do they ?

[arctic talon]

looks at the model range fucks sake

[spring cairn]

because yeah sure in lore they have any medieval weapon available am sure

[arctic talon]

Yeah not on the minis unfortunately

they're easy to kitbash on though

[spring cairn]

they should've never ditched the landsknetch

t'was the best thing about fantasy

[crystal forum]

but my swords

[arctic talon]

unfortunately this was because of GW's new attempt to make everything only be in 1 system

which is

[spring cairn]

empire had sword and shields too

[arctic talon]

annoying

[dusk patrol]

Yeah but those guys suck

[spring cairn]

and they also had the best type of sword in all of history

the zweihander

or the flameberge depending on how schizo you are

[storm jungle]

[spring cairn]

can't wait for the mini

[outer wave]

Ah yes, the warbly sword

Wobble sword

[arctic talon]

god I love this art so much

[storm jungle]

its peak

[spring cairn]

that's the asthetic they should've gone with for cities

[storm jungle]

Ehhh

I like the direction still

they did it since europe-soup is better for WHF, they need a better identity to look different for AOS.

This is the same company that ditched an entire unit line because star wars was using the same name

so lol

[arctic talon]

tbh its really easy to make kitbashes of like

that style thankfully

since its a historical styled mini

[spring cairn]

landsknecth in fantasy was unique enough

[storm jungle]

I mean

[spring cairn]

it's a downgrade to me but it's up to personnal taste

[storm jungle]

its done to look different like i said, not much to do about it

[arctic talon]

also another design for Cities of Sigmar Freeguilds that don't have minis lol

[storm jungle]

Lmao that one love it

[arctic talon]

it looks like an unfucked up version of the stuff the Deathrattle skeletons wear

[storm jungle]

they also prob thought kids would get confused about settings using the same aesthetic for both its human factions

[crystal forum]

wait there's skeletons in aos???

[dusk patrol]

Cities of Sigmars current identity is looking like shit

(This is mostly a joke)

[storm jungle]

JAY

IM GONNA TURN YOU INTO A FUCKING SKELETON

[arctic talon]

LOL

[dusk patrol]

Jay I think at this point it’s harassment and I will be filing a complaint with HR

No one’s this dumb

[arctic talon]

I still really like this art of the Dawnbringer Crusades

[dusk patrol]

Yeah that stuffs dope

[arctic talon]

horde of angry human, elves and dwarfs

going to murder chaos and set up a new city

[storm jungle]

the fact that everyone is willingly there too is even funnier since theres no slave labor lmao

[dusk patrol]

The execution is just, eh doesn’t do it for me

[arctic talon]

the chance of getting to set up a new city is great ig lol

[spring cairn]

how are the steampunk dwarfs doing btw

[crystal forum]

just the boys working together

[storm jungle]

Rolling in money

[arctic talon]

tabletop wise? very good

[storm jungle]

usual stuff

[arctic talon]

lore wise

incredibly rich

[storm jungle]

LOL

[spring cairn]

i mean lore wise and range wise

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-gonna-love-this-kingpin-spiderman-business-is-booming-miles-morales-into-the-spider-verse-gif-24228394

[arctic talon]

they're prolly one of the most fleshed out 2e armies range wise and lore wise

[storm jungle]

They are faring pretty well on both yeah

they also benefit from like

[crystal forum]

spoidy man

the mets

[storm jungle]

Blanche having done the design on some of their range

before he retired

[spring cairn]

good because it's the best thing of AOS

[arctic talon]

this guy still goes hard

Bro is ready to play a game of Crusade in 9e

[storm jungle]

The mics on the side complete it

[crystal forum]

[dusk patrol]

Roll up on the sky dock with my Glock

[spring cairn]

i love dwarfs and these guys are 100 levels above the fyreslayers

[arctic talon]

also they're the only AoS faction who gets to do drive by shootings

on the tabletop lol

[crystal forum]

guy's got a pocket sized elephant gun

[dusk patrol]

Fyreslayers are just

Terrible for me

[spring cairn]

just not good

yeah

[dusk patrol]

Slayers were cool but not as like

A whole thing

[storm jungle]

nobody likes em

[arctic talon]

I think like

most people don't like them

I like a few of their minis but

[storm jungle]

"most" is being generous

[arctic talon]

so many are just bad

[spring cairn]

they would be cool if the minis had cocks

[storm jungle]

what the FU-

[crystal forum]

so true

[arctic talon]

I think the big Fyreslayer paint style I like is the like

[dusk patrol]

It take what’s cool about slayers and makes them just a normal army

[arctic talon]

they're made out of stone

and stuff one

[dusk patrol]

Also girls, icky

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

Average 40k twitter user ahh comment

[dusk patrol]

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

BEEG gun

[storm jungle]

I love their guns so much

literally all of these are some wack ass shit

[dusk patrol]

It’s well know male fyreslayers are better at throwing axes cause they can set up a tripod for support

[arctic talon]

I sincerely hope they're allowed to keep the drive by shooting rule

in AoS 4e

literally one of the funniest fucking things ever

[storm jungle]

The balloon-riding grindset wont stop

[arctic talon]

Elf and dwarf ranges for cities need some help lol

They’ve had like 2 new minis ever and both were for side games

[storm jungle]

They will get drafted back to WHF hopefully

they need their playdough minis back

https://tenor.com/view/action-figures-richard-parliament-top-hat-gaming-man-toy-attack-gif-23168435

[arctic talon]

Yeah but new ones

[forest orbit]

what was the Aetheric Domains in 30k again i forgor....

[storm jungle]

arent they like unnamed unalligned daemons

Samus from Metroid is one of them

[spring cairn]

she really fell off damn

[dusk patrol]

Samus is aligned I think actually

[storm jungle]

Hes grey

you know what that means

[forest orbit]

[storm jungle]

I still cant believe they did that time bullshit where Samus' origin point is from Loken's death

[forest orbit]

I just kinda lost the plot at that point tbh

same with uhh the fuck was his name Grammaticus going back in time or some shit to set up the clues for the future

[storm jungle]

[wraith quartz]

First off, recap:
• At the beginning of the Space Age, Humanity was getting pretty chill at their peak.
• Then the Warp got FUNKY, and ruined everyone's vibes.
• Through the destabilization of Society, untold horrors of the cosmos, humanity was barely clinging to existence
• Then along came the Emperor. Through Manifest destiny and conquest, he reunited Holy Terra. Began the great Crusade.

That is correct

[shell mason]

Go on

[wraith quartz]

So Era wise we should be viewing the Golden Age, rn

[storm jungle]

Golden Age/DAOT is earlier

[shell mason]

Mhm

[wraith quartz]

Hmmm, hmm

[shell mason]

Idk dates

I only know events in order

[wraith quartz]

Ah, ok

[storm jungle]

thats events in order

[outer wave]

"Beginning of the Dark Age of Technology."

6000 years later
"Beginning of the Dark Age of Technology."

[storm jungle]

Its mostly due to wonky dates in lore

[outer wave]

That makes sense

[storm jungle]

Lexi does what it can best to pinpoint stuff in a general area

[wraith quartz]

Right, so before the Heresy, what did humanity itself do, to contribute for the Emperor?

[shell mason]

Old ones
Pre robo necrons
War/death of Necrons
Meet the Ctan
Robo Necrons
War in heaven
Birth of Korks and Eldar
Necrons sleep

[shell mason]

Wym?

[storm jungle]

Nothing, just conquest.

[wraith quartz]

Hmm, mmmh

[storm jungle]

they spread forth in crusade fleets, found humans/aliens, if humans complied they integrated them to the Imperium, if they said no they exterminated them.

Then they become a part of the Imperium and basically do what any imperial world does today

Rule the planet, give yoru resources to the tithe, send it back to terra, etc

[wraith quartz]

So, was the Administratum and the Elyssiarchy established during the Crusade?

[shell mason]

Eldar destroy Korks
Korks go to Orks
Eldar become dark Eldar
Birth of Slannesh
Eldar Near extinction
Humanity

[storm jungle]

the Ecclesiarchy was established way after the Emperor was put on the throne

the Administratum was made just before the Great Crusade

[wraith quartz]

Oh, that's right I forgor

[shell mason]

Mass suicide of psykers going into one being called the Emperor
The Emperor lives and manipulates humanity at times

[wraith quartz]

So in terms of Hierarchy, with the Emperor at the top. What the chain of command for the Administratum and the Imperium itself?

[shell mason]

Humanity goes nearly to extinction

[storm jungle]

The hierarchy is way too complex to really put on a board

basically every adepta of the Imperium has some modicum of great power

[shell mason]

The Emperor makes himself knows and actively starts leading man

[storm jungle]

the Administratum itself though is definitely one of the founding and strongest pillars since they handle every kind of administration stuff in the Imperium

[shell mason]

Mhm

[storm jungle]

even if their department is a fucking disaster

[shell mason]

But then theres more shit

[wraith quartz]

Ahh,

[shell mason]

way before the great crusade

Chaos gods doing fuck shit

[wraith quartz]

So who's the "Head" head of the Administratum?

[shell mason]

Big E

[wraith quartz]

Outside of the Emperor of course

[storm jungle]

Malcador

[shell mason]

Malcador

[storm jungle]

before he uh

bit the dust

literally

[shell mason]

Sat on that golden seat

[storm jungle]

now its just the Head of the Administratum

i forgot his title

hold on

[shell mason]

I got it

[storm jungle]

Master of the Administratum (incumbent: Violeta Roskavler)

creative title i know

[wraith quartz]

Ooh, makes sense then

[shell mason]

don't forget the high lords of terra

[wraith quartz]

Right, so with theGreat Crusade underway, uniting Humanity across the Cosmos, bolstering the ever growing Imperium. There was something else brewing in the Shadows

[shell mason]

yes

[wraith quartz]

A "Heretical" temptation

[shell mason]

Yes

[wraith quartz]

Right, there's a lot that went down during the HORUS HERESY, so I want to keep it in the view point of humanity (excluding the space marine for that's all whole 'nother discussion for another time). First question: before the events of the "Heresy" kicked off, did humanity itself encounter new threats from the Warp?

[celest dome]

They had various face of with Chaos Cultists and even some Daemon. But it was quite rare

[shell mason]

Yes and No

The warp itself is pure emotion nearly

Before everything kicked off the warp was calm as hell

[wraith quartz]

Ahh, uhh

[celest dome]

During the Great Crusade it was already in turmoil

[shell mason]

No I mean before the war in heaven

[wraith quartz]

Hmm

[celest dome]

That doesn't really answers Penitent's question

[shell mason]

True

[celest dome]

Like saying did we use guns in WW1.
No in the Medieval era we didn't use guns...

[shell mason]

But in long short everything was semi lowkey before the heresy

[wraith quartz]

It's like a yes or no question, if humanity encountered demons or not when the warp grew more unstable.

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[shell mason]

When the Heresy kicked off

it was like pouring gasoline on a small flame

[celest dome]

The Warp was unstable when human got out of their caves

There were daemons world before the Great crusade

[wraith quartz]

During the Heresy, humanity was put into a schism between siding with Horus, claiming to be the next ruler of humanity, and remaining loyal to the Emperor.

[shell mason]

Mhm

[wraith quartz]

Those who sided with Horus had clear enough "grudges' they held to themselves towards the Imperium.

[shell mason]

Also know as the Traitors and Loyalists

[wraith quartz]

Right

[shell mason]

Mhm including Primarchs

[crystal forum]

the primarchs were the ones with the grudges and shit. the astartes just followed suit or went against the grain

[wraith quartz]

Ah

[shell mason]

Astartes where torn between their gene fathers and the Emperor

[wraith quartz]

If I remember correctly, The Militarum and the Navy was one whole Military before the Heresy.

[crystal forum]

you have the occasional main character astartes who has his reasons but mostly it's the primarchs

[tulip brook]

yeah, literally, getting torn in half unless they side with the guy with the biggest guns in the closest proximity

[crystal forum]

literally all the militarum detachments either followed whatever astartes chapter they were attached to or were slaughtered

[shell mason]

the militarum was alot more together before the heresy

[crystal forum]

they hardly had any choice

[wraith quartz]

Hmm, mmh.

[shell mason]

The Heresy was the reason why there's so many divisions in the militarum

[crystal forum]

also back then it was called imperial guard but that's a dumb thing

[shell mason]

Since it was more compact every primarch had everything

[crystal forum]

it's important to remember that chapters back then were entire armies

[shell mason]

Giving the war more even ground making it why it took so long

[crystal forum]

they had tank detachments and everything

[shell mason]

Exactly

For that question

[wraith quartz]

So how much did the Imperium lose, when half of the Guard turned traitor during the "Heresy"

[shell mason]

Countless numbers

[crystal forum]

not much in terms of guardsmen since they're disposable

[wraith quartz]

In terms of planetary territory..

[crystal forum]

losing astartes chapters to chaos was a much bigger loss

[shell mason]

Countless worlds

[crystal forum]

a lot

no specific numbers

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[shell mason]

some planets even nuking themselves just so it won't turn traitor

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-warhammer40k-vraks-siege-of-vraks-death-korps-gif-20931228

[wraith quartz]

From what I bluntly know, the war was so bad it was basically on lead into Holy Terra itself.

[shell mason]

Yes

[crystal forum]

it literally ended on terra

[shell mason]

Thanks to dirty perty

[storm jungle]

it reached it s climax in this small event called the Siege of Terra

[crystal forum]

a slight disturbance

[shell mason]

THE END OF THE DEATH

However it truly ended with Hawkboys death and the fight with horus and the Emperor

[wraith quartz]

How were they able to hold them off for that long??

[shell mason]

Fight like hell

[crystal forum]

dan abnett was writing the book

they had to wait

[shell mason]

Hawkboy literally got beat like a disobedient dog

Half of his face gone

[crystal forum]

you talking about sanguinius?

[shell mason]

mhm

Hanging on like a mask

[crystal forum]

hawkboy is corvus tho

smh

[shell mason]

Sanguinius has the wings tho

[storm jungle]

The traitors basically more or less almost made it to the throne room so they just kinda won through plot reasons since they cant exactly lose and fighting every step of the way

the planet itself was literally sliding into the Warp lol

[shell mason]

rip Cadia

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[crystal forum]

then horus died and suddenly every traitor is killable

yup just like that

[storm jungle]

They were always killable

they just even started respawning

[crystal forum]

not for the plot

[storm jungle]

which is hilarious

[crystal forum]

also epic yu gi yo battle

[wraith quartz]

I don't know if it is a pure rumor/speculation, but I've heard that a lone guardsmen was able to keep off Horus from the Emperor...

[shell mason]

However the most disgusting thing I seen was in the story beside the deamonculaba was the creation of the first noise marine

the concert itself was....chilling to say the least

[storm jungle]

Nah thats in-universe propaganda

he instantly got smashed to shit

he also wasnt a guardsman

[crystal forum]

that guy literally has 3 difference stories

[storm jungle]

Well no

he has one story

[crystal forum]

olyadus pius or something

[storm jungle]

we are shown its propaganda

and muddled storytelling

Oll Persson is his name

[shell mason]

He was a actually chad, shot horus in the face and just got smashed

[crystal forum]

astra militarum coping to the highest degree

[wraith quartz]

LET'S GO

[crystal forum]

he actually killed horus

with a laspistol

yup

got a lucky roll

[hallow basin]

god roll on the laspistol, yeah

[shell mason]

Gave the Emperor a small pep talk, shot horus, then died

[storm jungle]

rip bozo

dingus should have aimed for the face

[wraith quartz]

Right long story short:
Horus wanted to be the Big Dog used demons and stuff to bolster his strength. Half of the Imperial Guard went traitor, willing or not. The fight went on and on until the last match was on Holy Terra, with Humanity on the cusp of destruction. Plot reasons, Imperium makes a comeback, Horus takes a fat L, then the Emperor sits forever more on the Golden Throne. Thus ending the "Heresy" and the "brightside" of the Imperium.

[storm jungle]

Thats a very big oversimplification but more or less

[wraith quartz]

Now the Dark Ages. Or the Dark Imperium or whatever they're called...

[celest dome]

Dark Age of Technology/Golden Age

[wraith quartz]

Oh, I was off, sorry about that...

[shell mason]

He got the stabbed with a evil knife by Erebus

[wraith quartz]

So after the "Heresy". How badly fucked up was the Imperium?

[storm jungle]

Extremely more or less

[shell mason]

Nearly back to square one

[storm jungle]

they split apart all their institutions so rebellion wouldnt be as easy like the Heresy in any of them, the Imperial religion took hold, things got more hectic etc

also there was the Scouring of the rest of the traitors

[wraith quartz]

The Indominus something..

[shell mason]

There's is a story about a AI from earlier came into modern 40k

[wraith quartz]

I heard about it, from the conversations between operatives in mission

[shell mason]

It called humanity senial and nothing like its masters before hand

[storm jungle]

the Indomitus Crusade is 10 millennia later

the green section is post heresy

[wraith quartz]

But that's another story for later

[shell mason]

Literally said they were on the verge of Ascendence and now to the point of worms

[wraith quartz]

Timeline wise. After the Emperor's initialization to his Life Support. To Big factions came to be. Through his selfless sacrifice for Humanity and theCleansing of the Heretic Traitors, the Emperor Ascended to God-ship. Those who witnessed such Glory worshiped him with dogmatic fanatic-tism, for this new cult shall forever be known as the Elyssiarchy. Remaining ever so loyal to the "*** God Emperor of Mankind***"!!! While most went to revel in his god-hood and beg for repentance. Others formed a new order to vanguard against new threats that will come within and without. Through this secrecy the Inquisition came forth, as the last line of defense for the Imperium.

......

Right during the Rebirth of the Imperium, what new threats did humanity have to face now?

[storm jungle]

same as usual; Chaos, Aliens, Itself etc

its all just setup for the 40k we generally know

[wraith quartz]

Huh... Ok.

Hold on lemme look at my topic points...

.....
Ok almost nearing the end of the large topic discussion. Let's talk about new vendettas and what's becoming of humanity (as a whole, and about the mutants)

.....

So we know that the Imperium is Racially Xenophobic. How did that happen/escalate? Was there a big war with one of the Xenos that wanted to wipe us out?

[storm jungle]

It basically spawned how it has IRL, just rampant propaganda, fear of things they dont understand etc. There was about as many peaceful aliens as much as hostile ones during the Age of Strife, the Emperor just made sure the flames for it soared more and post 30k it reached a boiling point with the formation of the Ecclesiarchy even when the Imperium almost always creates its own problems.

[wraith quartz]

Uh huh

[storm jungle]

The xenophobia also applies to other humans too essentially since the entire Imperial mentality is "you are with us or against us"

[wraith quartz]

Ooooh

Now the Warp. After the Heresy, how much of a consistent threat did the warp and the "creatures" from the Warp come to be?

[storm jungle]

Constant and never-ending

Humans worship chaos almost on every imperial planet more or less

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[storm jungle]

Plot twist, the Imperium is kinda terrible and gives birth to these things lol

sometimes cults get culled sometimes they dont

♻️

[wraith quartz]

Hence the existence of the Inquisition

[storm jungle]

their competance varies due to it

[wraith quartz]

Yea

Right so the "Mutants" how long have been with Humanity? Were they with us since the beginning of were they a new thing to deal with?

[arctic talon]

Mutants were around during the DAOT presumably

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[storm jungle]

physical deformaties/mutations also exist today too so lol

[wraith quartz]

And they're a result of a human gene mutation?

Due to hazardous influences

[storm jungle]

its genetic, from the environment itself or warp related

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[storm jungle]

the firstt two are also the general IRL reasons for it

[wraith quartz]

From what I bluntly understand. We hate "Mutants" for they are dangerous. So how many mutants do we know of, and how many are we "supposedly" ok with?

I know Orgryns and Psykers are Mutants...

If there's a considerable range...

[storm jungle]

Mutants are hated because of a variety of reasons but it mainly stems from a place of prejudice because they are "different" and stay from the perfect human form.

Mutants that are "ok" are labelled as abhumans (abnormal humans) and put to work as auxillaries elsewhere where they dont really get any say in what they do, so more or less just glorified slave soldiers and other things.

[wraith quartz]

Oh

[arctic talon]

Second class citizen

at best lol

[storm jungle]

Second class is being generous

lmfao

[wraith quartz]

Kinda of what the "Loner" says mid-mission, "Just so long as you have a use for the Imperium, you won't be too terribly treated." Or something like that.

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much

if you want the hypocrisies of the Imperium pointed out the Loner is great for that

[wraith quartz]

I picked him because of the funny accent, but yea...

[storm jungle]

💀

[wraith quartz]

....
So do we have a list of known "Abhumans"?

[storm jungle]

Yeah

[wraith quartz]

Outside the Psyskers and Ogryns?

[storm jungle]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Abhuman

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-25879491

[wraith quartz]

"AAAAAGGGGH, I'M ILLITERATE"!!!

[storm jungle]

You really need to pick up reading the lexi

[wraith quartz]

When I'm done having discussions of said specific topics. I'll read them as well.

[storm jungle]

[wraith quartz]

Ok, crash course time: From the mutants that I relatively know and heard of... I want a crash course summary of the relatively popular "Abhumans" and will probably ask some questions about them.

[storm jungle]

Psykers are just people born with magic powers

Ogryns are people from high gravity worlds that get gigantism

Ratlings are just hobbit snipers

[wraith quartz]

Ah

[storm jungle]

Beastmen are people born with animalistic mutations

uhhh who else

🗒️

[rose thorn]

cat boys

[storm jungle]

no

[rose thorn]

ok

[wraith quartz]

[rose thorn]

fr tho you forgot navigators

my favorite abhumans

[storm jungle]

Incest lore

[snow fern]

Habsburg minmaxing you mean

[wraith quartz]

Psykers are a whole can of Kraevalar (space worms that I made up in my head) so that's a discussion topic I want to look into some other time. All I know is that they've been here since the Space Age, gets powers from the Warp, and Either blows up or become FUNKY (Possessed)

[storm jungle]

That is correct.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1036392908326174790/1241519131967361024/darktide_rannick_youve_served_me_well.gif

[snow fern]

Being a psyker sounds fun at first, but then you pull out that Walgreens receipt of bad things that happen to psykers and it's like yah

[wraith quartz]

Right so Ogryns

They're from high gravity planets that gained a mutation of Gigantism...

How long have we had 'em for? How long can they live? (without dying in combat)

[storm jungle]

More or less as long as people have inhabited high gravity worlds, they were around in 30k as well.

And they live about as much as normal people, they are still humans.

[snow fern]

I imagine they can live as long as any other person with access to whatever magic life extending meds exist in the setting

[storm jungle]

Yeah again they are just human.

so not much difference biology wise minus the gigantism

[wraith quartz]

So are naturally (whispers) "Slow".

[storm jungle]

Slow?

[wraith quartz]

Socially and intelligently

[storm jungle]

You mean they are dumb?

they arent naturally born like that

they are manipulated to stay dumb by the Imperium

its why they act like children

[celest dome]

While it's impossible to fairly qualify the intelligence of Ogryns. It's highly probable that it stem more from them not being taught stuff rather than mental limits

[wraith quartz]

Ok, what about the metal bits that are implanted in their brain?

[storm jungle]

those are boneheads, only they get enhancements

[celest dome]

Bonehead implant don't make them "smart" or even "smarter"

[storm jungle]

^

[spring cairn]

gw when writing this

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-hummer-nail-gif-14595785

[storm jungle]

Yeah they legit got no idea how a high gravity world would affect a person

You'd also become shorter, not bigger

[wraith quartz]

Ok, so in terms of Legends. Who is the most legendary Ogryns known in 40k?

[arctic talon]

Nork Deddog

[wraith quartz]

Hhhhhmmmmm

We'll talk more tomorrow, gtgt work

[hallow saddle]

nork deddog is a true legend of the imperium

i watched a tabletop tactics game and he finished off the game by headbutting Vashtorr to death

very legendary

[storm jungle]

hes THE ogryn of all time

[timber falcon]

I'm a little curious on the ranks of our characters! Like I know there are Inquisitorial Agents but that's not exactly a rank right?

Or like a level 30 characters rank

[arctic talon]

We’re like acolytes or inqusitorial Jackboots

We’re agents of the inquisitor

[crystal forum]

yeah we're outside any organized rank system

it's whatever system our inquisitor is using

[storm jungle]

Acolyte is in the organized rank system

[storm jungle]

Its kind of a rank, Agent of the Throne/Acolyte is basically what we are at the moment, once you go past Level 30 your reject has the chance to mention that they have taken the Hereticus Oath and have become a proper part of the warband, anyone that doesnt meet the standard/dies in the field tends to be just a normal penal troop at that point. We are still referred to as Rejects™️ but its more of a poster line at this point more than anything else.

Especially since compared to the launch missions we are at this point undertaking operations that would only be given to trustworthy agents in particular.

[timber falcon]

Oh damn that's awesome!!!!

Thank you so much! I've been having a bit trouble with lore for my character so this helps a lot!

[storm jungle]

No problem 👍

People meme that we are "basically homeless people" when thats never been really the case, every reject personality you select minus maybe the zealots/psykers have proper military background and training to some degree

[timber falcon]

Lmao that's sorta funny, but yeah almost everyone has proper training!

[arctic talon]

At the very least the savant was an enforcer

They don’t yell stop resisting when using the shock maul though

Real shame

[timber falcon]

I am curious though in the eyes of let's say a regular guardsmen what would the social concept be? Would it be disgust looking down upon a "reject" or would it be more like looking up to a superior?

[arctic talon]

We’d be their superior at level 30

Before that an inferior since penal soldier

[storm jungle]

You can take a guess from how the normal ship operatives treat/comment at you when you walk past them.

[arctic talon]

^yeah this

[storm jungle]

One of the operatives on the consoles mention the basic rejects look up to you as inspiration and to keep that image up.

[arctic talon]

They’re nice to you once you hit like

The 25 to 30 range

[storm jungle]

Yeah before that you may as well be a literal piece of shit under their boot lmao

after that they very much became aware of your elite status in the warband, you are still an expendable asset like everyone else on the ship but you proved your worth essentially

[timber falcon]

Ahhhh awesome! Damn I'm so excited I didn't know the DarkTide lore was so awesome!!! ^^

[storm jungle]

Its not in your face like most games so you kind of need to dig and listen to chatter of characters to pick pieces up yourself.

Its in the same spirit as Vermintide 1 and 2

[carmine flame]

This is off topic but when is the game set? During the plague wars is what I read on the wiki?

[arctic talon]

Early indomitus crusade

[carmine flame]

Interesting, so the dark imperium book line-ish?

[arctic talon]

Yeah around then

[storm jungle]

More or less yeah

[arctic talon]

Maybe a bit before or after

[storm jungle]

We dont really do anything important aside from rescuing this shithole planet.

so basically the plot of most 40k novels lol

[arctic talon]

Tertium isn’t a shithole it’s the crown jewel of the Moebian dominion smh my head

[carmine flame]

BUT MA MOEBIAN STEEL

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah its the case with like every single 40k game

even the upcomign Space Marine 2

you are just on two shitty worlds overrun with tyranids

nothing important

[timber falcon]

Haha gotcha

[arctic talon]

I wish GW still did campaign books over random shitholes

[storm jungle]

Same but alas

[arctic talon]

I guess they had a few in 8e but meh

Psychic awakening

[arctic talon]

Do you think Moebian steel tastes better then normal steel

[carmine flame]

has too man…

I’m really just trying to put together the big picture of the timeline we are in. For the immersion

And also every time I run the foundryplex mission the redneck in me is like “ how many damn times do we have to start this machine before we decide it’s broken.”

[arctic talon]

Hadron would prolly kill anyone for saying it’s broken

[radiant lance]

What weighs more a kilogram of Moebian feathers or a kilogram of Moebian steel

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/steels-heavier-than-feathers-confused-what-wait-huh-gif-11584826

[carmine flame]

[dense dawn]

Best Scottish person to ever exist

[versed ledge]

Honestly rather have a survival horror and extraction shooter where you play as a guardsman or hiver amidst a tyrannid invasion

But there's only one ship remaining

[tough haven]

You arent allowed to decide that, for you are of the laity

and as hadron says, the foundryplex produces like 11% tougher tank plating

so its valuable enough to keep fighting for

[tough haven]

I'd like this but as a asymettrical game where the people playing as the nids are playing a whole different genre

[carmine flame]

My apologies sah

[nocturne crest]

So out of curiosity, but has there ever been any space marine tanks used by The Imperial Guard or Inquistiors?

[fallen plaza]

Malcador tanks used to shared across both factions

And most rhinos and landraiders used to be a thing for a lot of PDF forces in the 30th millennium

And I think the arbites still use rhinos? And so do the sister of battle

[sacred ginkgo]

Sisters even have unique rhino variants like the Immolator and Exorcist

[plush mason]

which are just rhinos with a twin heavy flamer turret and a missile lancher that is made to look like a church organ respectively

[nocturne crest]

I'm just wondering more about the heavier stuff like Predators or Land Raiders, seeing how some inquisitors have terminator armour.

[green loom]

Land raiders Defo not

[fallen plaza]

Guard use to run land raiders

[green loom]

Predators are a maybe but the Russ and Dorn kinda make them irrelevant

[fallen plaza]

Back in the imperial armor days I think there was a rule for guard to have a relic predator tank

[plush mason]

ngl the rhino is an amazing vehicle design wise, the shear amount of things you can slap on the top front and sides are impressive

[green loom]

That's the chimera for guard lol

Like 60% of their vehicles are just chimera variants, and the rest are Russ and Bane blade variants

[plush mason]

which funny enough gives them more options than the space marines when it comes to heavy vehicles

hm, is the Dorn as modular as the Russ?

[nocturne crest]

What about vehicle like a leman russ or a hell hound?

[plush mason]

the Russ forms its own base that is used to make up the main tank core

the hell hound is a chimera variant

[fallen plaza]

What is the name of the leman Russ varient with the ch0de cannon?

Ch0de is censored here lol

[plush mason]

the demolisher, the cannon is a petard mortor made to level structures

[fallen plaza]

No not that

Bigger

[green loom]

Not yet

[fallen plaza]

Oh

The bombard

Yeah that

[plush mason]

wow i have seen this thing before

[fallen plaza]

I love it

Some of my favorite varient

Next to the old resin exterminator

*incinerator

[rose thorn]

Death watch players are doom posting

I highly doubt death watch is going anywhere, there will probably be rules for a deathwatch specific army

[shadow plover]

yeah I'm 100% sure there will be a Deathwatch specific detachment rule in the new book to run a mono Deathwatch army

also I don't get why'd you'd be angry/sad about having more fluffy options to run along side your Deathwatch units

[queen laurel]

Honestly at this point a lot of warhammer fans just complain for the sake of complaining

You are given more options yet you are complaining about the options

[shadow plover]

indeed

[storm jungle]

Inquisitors can use Land Raiders

Same with Rhinos, the latter is more common but a Land Raider would need you to have SUPREME clout and influence to acquire one.

[celest dome]

Apart from Custodes stuff, is there anything they can't use ?

[storm jungle]

Most astartes equipment for starters

vehicles especially

[fallen plaza]

Really the only limit is practically and how much can you suck off the magos without gagging

[storm jungle]

the only ones they can acquire for Inquisitorial use are like, Land Raiders, Rhinos and Thunderhawks

[green loom]

[storm jungle]

[raven stone]

Sadly going by the promotional photos

We are only recovering Rhinos and Chimeras for our dex I think

[storm jungle]

Yeah alas, im strictly speaking from a lore standpoint

[rocky gale]

You'd think they'd allow Land Raiders for the Deathwatch and Grey Knight elements

[dusk patrol]

Game rules don’t apply to lore

Mostly

Deathwatch and GKs definitely use Land Raiders in lore

[rocky gale]

Yea, they've even had their own versions sold as models

Although nowadays in rules pretty sure Deathwatch just use the standard Land Raider, but Grey Knights still have seperate rules for their own unique Land Raiders

[nocturne crest]

Don't the Grey Knights have their own unique weapons?

[dusk patrol]

Mostly yeah

Lots of psy and force weapons

[queen laurel]

is literally every single piece of equipment they have psychic and blessed

[dusk patrol]

Generally speaking yes

All their melee weapons are special force weapons

All their bolt shells and gear are blessed and made special to fuck up daemons

Since typically normal rounds don’t do much against daemons

Especially the ones they’re fighting typically

[queen laurel]

how consistently do they give demons true death

it takes a lot to true death even a weak one

[dusk patrol]

They’re not doing that much, mostly just banishing

Sometimes they bind them to something too

[queen laurel]

True death just requires that much resources huh

[dusk patrol]

It’s inconsistent

Also true death lesser daemons is pointless

Greater daemons and daemon princes are much harder and they don’t really have the means often

[queen laurel]

besides the emperor's sword which you can't really just copy and paste

[dusk patrol]

Yeah, it’s notable when weapons do it for a reason

It’s rare daemons actually have to be concerned about that

But they do bind or keep certain artifacts on Titan which they can’t destroy or don’t want to risk getting away

Which is where the Blade of Antwyr and Crowe come in

For an extreme case

[queen laurel]

So if they can somehow get their hands on Skarbrand they would bind him on like an artifact they have on titan to keep him in check

[dusk patrol]

If the opportunity presented itself they might, more likely they’d just try to banish him

With those kinda threats that’s all you can do really

Same as how they went about trying to deal with Magnus, Mortarion, Angron

The good thing with those guys is it takes an absurd effort and amount of power to summon and maintain their forms so they often can’t last long and if you banish them they’re probably not coming back soon

Which is also why Angrons whole endless rezzing is a huge fucking problem

Normally if you banish him he’s gone for hundreds to thousands of years

[queen laurel]

But khorne Quite literally invested a good chunk of his power into him making him damn near a threat every time even if you banish him consistently

[dusk patrol]

Theoretically there is a cost to it but it’s not clear rn, it probably leaves him open to being attacked by the other gods

[queen laurel]

Yeah but like doesn't he basically replenish his power 24/7 because of the constant war in the setting

like it is getting to the point that the three other gods need to team up to knock him down a peg

[dusk patrol]

Mortarions big push into Ultramar for example cost him when Perturabo attacked his Plague Empire after

[dusk patrol]

It’s waxes and wanes

Nurgle was the peak during the Plague Wars

I imagine Slannesh will be there soon once the EC roll around sometime in the next few years

[queen laurel]

With the constant brutal conflicts in the setting i think corn will honestly get his face kicked in by the other three

[dusk patrol]

They always gang up on the strongest

Likely there’s gonna be a cost for his big push with Angron and the WEs

Similar to how Nurgle had one

Plus you got Vashtorr doing whatever the hell he’s working on in the Pariah Nexus

[storm jungle]

Me when people say chaos gods are forces of unknowable nature then act like fucking schoolyard kids

[dusk patrol]

Yeah but they do it W̴͆̔ï̴̈́̀†̴́̐h̵̄́ ̸̂̕¢̵̑̽µ̷̊r̴̛͆§̶̂̆ê̶͆̀Ð̴̓́ ̵̍̈†̷̈́êx†

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah dilara in age of sigmar and then old world did corn still hold the strongest chaos god position

[dusk patrol]

Khorne isn’t the strongest, he just sometimes is

It changes

They’ve all been strongest and gotten knocked down a peg and the cycle continues

[rocky gale]

There's even a mechanic for it in the Warhammer TW 3, where which god is on top regularly changes giving different buffs to the chaos factions

[celest dome]

In fantasy it was mostly Tzeentch and Nurgle

[queen laurel]

Ok good

In warhammer it's corn right

[dusk patrol]

Whichever one we see varies by the timeline

[queen laurel]

Because the scale of war is just literally everywhere

Well currently anyway

[dusk patrol]

It is currently I think

It was Nurgle after the rift

It’s shifting a lot more rapidly these days

[celest dome]

40k ? Don't think they've currently been ranked, last to make some noise was Khorne

[celest dome]

Squalor is everywhere -> Nurgle

[rocky gale]

The four are the big four because they're all present everywhere

[queen laurel]

hmm i see

[storm jungle]

Khorne tends to be regularly at the top because war is like the core of every warhammer setting.

everyone else lines up on different spots depending on the mood of the galaxy

[queen laurel]

yeah because you blink and literally 500 battles happen immediately

[storm jungle]

pretty much

[misty vector]

So khorne gets power from more battles and nurgle from more disease, but how do tzeentch and slaanesh get stronger?

[celest dome]

Change

[storm jungle]

Tzeentch gets stronger from hopes/dreams/thoughts and enjoy scrushing them

like uh

most bosses IRL

Slaanesh is just want, excess, joy, etc

[celest dome]

And excess

[storm jungle]

They are all tied to basic human emotions you go through in a daily basis

[celest dome]

So too many war feed Slaanesh

[dusk patrol]

Slannesh steals from everyone

It’s just an endless cycle of one rising and then the other three kicking them down

[storm jungle]

The codex answers this question too for any smartasses out there on reddit.

[queen laurel]

You just keep giving me more things to kill

[storm jungle]

also just like real life

[queen laurel]

I can hear them crawling on the damn walls again

[storm jungle]

such meta commentary

bravo vince

wait wrong franchise whoops

[fallen plaza]

Redditors dont have codices

[storm jungle]

Some do unfortunately

good thing they cant mostly read it

[dusk patrol]

That’s why we should nuke the globe

[queen laurel]

Yeah how do you think they discovered the golden woman on their apparently male dominated hitler guard

[dusk patrol]

It would subvert expectations

[storm jungle]

Lmao

[storm jungle]

STOP IT LOL

speaking of lemme visit r/40klore real quick

i need entertainment

[queen laurel]

YOU KNOW I'M DANG RIGHT INQUIZITOR

[fallen plaza]

Do show anything that makes you wince, sorting by new helps to find the cringe easier

[storm jungle]

Honestly its normal stuff atm, the questions I hate are shit like this

Like... holy fuck dude what do you think

I think the worst one i saw was uh, iirc:

"What do Inquisitor's pilots pilot?"

your mom's car

what else

[fallen plaza]

😐

[storm jungle]

And the replies are just the most aimless stuff listing shit that doesnt matter instead of just saying a fucking valkyrie lol

[dusk patrol]

The real response is to tell the person to stop being so fucking lazy and look it up

[storm jungle]

^

[dusk patrol]

Most of this shit is a Google away

[storm jungle]

I hate how when you tell them this they just downvote you

[queen laurel]

this is the type of question eternal reward will kill and brutally murder someone over yeah i agree

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Correct response: Do you still love your mom after she drank heavily and did hard drugs while she was pregnant with you?

[storm jungle]

LMAO CHRIST

[fallen plaza]

Letmegooglethat.com is a great thing to link to them

[dusk patrol]

Because that’s the only explanation I can think of for those lazy ass questions

That or it’s bots I guess

[storm jungle]

No its people.

They are legit this stupid.

[queen laurel]

It's definitely people because what the **** do you get by having bots ask questions like this

[storm jungle]

The mods are also fucking useless and only just ban posts for new book spoilers and do jackshit otherwise.

[dusk patrol]

Karma farming bots

[celest dome]

Sometime I think we should do that here too

[storm jungle]

I maen

we do

people just dont wanna read it

[celest dome]

We should do it more

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

I wish we had a bot which slapped someone’s nuts whenever they asked a broad and non specific question

[storm jungle]

God id get that if it wasnt so hard to program

we did it for people who wouldnt shut the fuck up about "lasgun recoil"

so it gave you an emote react every time you said it

like a mark of dunce

[queen laurel]

I can just imagine the Gemini AI question answers because they did source the a lot of the stuff from Reddit

[fallen plaza]

Do it everytime someone says whens the next rotation

[queen laurel]

the warhammer related questions are about to be ******* hilarious

[storm jungle]

Like just

can you motherfuckers stop

[queen laurel]

holy shit

even i know they don't have kids

[storm jungle]

these are definitely not the worst btw, just obnoxious. Ive seen so many much worse ones.

Why would anyone play a faction that isnt space marines

[fallen plaza]

Theres other factions?

[tough haven]

I worship the power of human camaraderie and the ability to persevere and overcome by helping your fellow man (and maybe xenos if it’s mutually beneficial)

That’s my canon rogue trader

They’d accept the emperor in certain aspects, focusing less on punishing his charges and instead on protecting or guiding them

[tough haven]

Guys this has to be bait

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes joking

people like that do exist though

[queen laurel]

They also are the type of people to swear to God that they will kill you because you told them the flaws in their army

[celest dome]

Some people still are dumbfounded by FS not doing SM so yes, they exist

[queen laurel]

[queen laurel]

Hopefully with the space marine game coming out it will direct some of the space marine related attention away from Darktide

so sick of it

[fallen plaza]

These are the same nerds that think darktide will die once sm2 comes out

[celest dome]

Think, or hope

[gray umbra]

Yeah some reddit pieces are doomer "fs u gotta fix ur game now if you want to compete with sm2"

[fallen plaza]

Mostly think surprisingly

[storm jungle]

SM2 is gonna be hype for like 2 months then probably fall into the same place as Darktide.

The game looks great but at its core its too simple, its only main selling point is the scenery/spectacles + Space Marines

[queen laurel]

I would be surprised if they can somehow pull a helldivers where the game is quite simple but they made it work so well it lasted a long while

[gray umbra]

Im gonna play the shit out of the pvp at least
