#

At the end of the day conflicts of authority are solved very simply

storm jungle
#

Nope

dusk patrol
#

Who can kill the other

dusk patrol
#

Custodes generally speaking

#

Can kill the other

#

Plus there’s an inherent fear factor of facing down a Custodes

storm jungle
#

like, an Inquisitor literally has no right to tell a custodian what to do. A custodian will only listen if the person is actually making sense or is requesting something properly, its up to them to say yes or no

dusk patrol
#

Not a good look

crystal forum
#

i dont want to get into power levelling but would a high inquisitor even be a match to a lore custodies

storm jungle
#

no

crystal forum
#

damn

dusk patrol
#

Some could but that’s not really the point

storm jungle
#

to kill a custodian you need some serious gear

dusk patrol
#

It’s a bad idea for your career and wellbeing

storm jungle
#

^

#

any puritan would be out for your head lol

dusk patrol
#

So even if you can kill one

#

Good fucking luck

near wasp
#

Everybody will be after your head

crystal forum
#

oh right killing a custodies would be like killing a part of the emperor lol

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

even chaos would be like daaaamn

dusk patrol
#

It’s very likely a Captain General will form a host to go hunt you down

crystal forum
#

"this mfer did WHAT?"

#

slams the send kill team button

near wasp
#

Chaos would probably send you a gift basket

storm jungle
#

Yeah even if you arent a part of the original 10,000 even new custodians are still bodyguards of the Emperor

dusk patrol
#

They’re as direct a symbol of the emperor that exists

opaque coyote
#

Anybody who's high ranking enough will know, anybody who's dumb enough to try and prove it simply gets their head blown off

dusk patrol
#

All inquisitors would know

storm jungle
#

Yeah this

crystal forum
#

i bet some lower ranking idiots would challenge the authority

dusk patrol
#

They likely have never seen one

storm jungle
#

if you dont know as an Inquisitor you gotta be as braindead as Darkhammer lol

dusk patrol
#

But that’s not the point

opaque coyote
#

see that the golden man looks similar

crystal forum
#

like some arbites would ask the custodian what their legal jurisdiction is

storm jungle
#

propaganda posters, paintings etc

near wasp
#

You'd probably just think it's a large golden statue

opaque coyote
#

and be like

#

"yeah"

storm jungle
#

half their life is like

#

brainwashing themselvs reading scriptures

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

and propaganda

green loom
#

Poop guard

#

Do you think any fists are assigned to latrine duty

storm jungle
#

their rituals never got retconned

opaque coyote
#

Seriously though, seeing a custodes in reality must be fucking terrifying

storm jungle
#

so

opaque coyote
#

"DID THAT STATUE JUST MOVE?"

celest dome
#

If you're low enough -> Think Custodes is a SM and do as they order
If you're hight enough -> Know it's a Custodes and do as they order

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

Yes

#

Arbites are like the supreme of brainwashed imperials

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

so arbites wouldn't blindly listen to any space marines

storm jungle
#

I mean they would

#

but they still got clout to say no

#

it depends again

#

remember these are the same people that say shit like this

#

lol

crystal forum
#

they're brain washed by law stuff instead of ecclesiarchy stuff tho

storm jungle
#

They are by both

crystal forum
#

so they'd be more similar to minotaur chapter

storm jungle
#

Arbites are pretty religious

#

Lex Imperialis is the holy law

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

i like arbites i wish they get books

celest dome
#

Ok @crystal forum , take real life, you've got a cop that's faced with an Army grunt, will they do what they say, probably not, but if an Army Sergeant or higher does, then they might be more inclined to do so

crystal forum
#

those lovable judge dredd ripoffs

THEY ALWAYS WORE BLACK POWER ARMOR

AND ITS NOT EVEN POWER ARMOR

crystal forum
#

i think that's just that specific kill team

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

i like the doggo

celest dome
#

They don't really look that similar, it's just that they both have PA

fallen plaza
#

Idk where i was going with that

storm jungle
#

they dont look similiar at alll yeah

#

that comparison is crazy

#

lol

crystal forum
near wasp
#

They should of used different helmets

fallen plaza
storm jungle

"styles"

like wearing armor

fallen plaza

Look at the helmets, look at the pauldrons

storm jungle

and being black

#

its medieval

#

yes

#

welcome to 40k

In the same way that Sister of Battle/SM/Custodes do then KEKW_ogryn

the community loves parroting dumb shit

#

Also again, I wish SoB's were like Space Marines in terms of customization.

I mean the reason why they're so popular is that you can have chapters that have widely different cultures and also different color schemed

crystal forum
#

play militarum

#

militarum has more variety than space marines

opaque coyote
#

Not exactly as varied as the Space Marines. But having different colored PA would be nice.

I mean a Valkyrie themed SoB chapter sounds cool

crystal forum
#

not as much as orks though

those are just the famous ones

im talking about the extents you can make shit up

You literally just have Rambos

fallen plaza
#

The solar aux

crystal forum
#

space marines you need to at least follow the general looks and the colour is up to you

fallen plaza
#

The only valid guard

opaque coyote
#

Since Feudal Worlds exist, you can even have ones wearing Knight Armor

crystal forum
#

but for militarum you can do ANYTHING

opaque coyote
#

Having them wield Longswords while shooting a laspistol

#

Actually that sounds wicked

crystal forum
#

it does

#

it's why im a militarum lover

opaque coyote
#

But yeah out of both the Guard and the Marines, the Sisters of Battle have like

Two different types of clothing

#

Battle Nun and

#

Nurse Nun

#

That also can battle

#

I like the Ordos Hospitaller

my first custom regiment comes from an armoury world that was once covered in extremely rich massive palaces during the dark age of tech which eventually eroded to dust with time so everything from the planet is caked in dust sand

if anything Cadia gets mocked harder in universe

then 9/11 irl

even in the cadia novels they're like why did you desert your post on this exploding planet

#

Erebus moment

raven stone
#

I am still sad 40k era Demonic possessed Astartes lost their guns.

#

And I don’t even Chaos

opaque coyote
#

But it would be really cool to see some CSMs use 30k era weapons

#

Like Volkite

arctic talon
#

I mean they use combi bolters

#

Fun fact storm bolters didn’t exist back then

opaque coyote

And Rotor Guns

Real

I still hate it

Give us like combi anti armor and combi anti infantry

Again, IK that maintenance isn't good for those in the Eye, but some cool 30k weapons being used by Chaos would be awesome

raven stone
#

Sad.

arctic talon

As dif weapons

Also since the Dark Mechanicum are insane.

They could make some really cool weapons

By lore, yes. But IIRC the rules don’t actually give them any specifically.

opaque coyote
#

Like it's fucking alive

#

It's ammo is teeth

arctic talon
#

That’s a really fucked up tau pulse rifle

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But it’s still a tau pulse rifle

opaque coyote

Why do they have the skull

#

I get the purity seals because "Xenos bad" but why the skull

arctic talon
#

It shoots souls

raven stone
arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

For someone to grab

opaque coyote
#

Hopefully there's some cool weapons tho

arctic talon
#

But I don’t really mind acursed weapons conceptually

#

Same with the power weapon consolidation

#

Prolly for the best it’s done this way imo

raven stone
#

Yea Power Weapon consolidation is actually fine

arctic talon
#

Keeping stuff like thunder hammers/fists separate should be done though

raven stone
#

But Combi Weapon is annoying because that had a far larger range of profiles.

arctic talon
#

Combi weapons getting consolidated sucks

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

They could have at least given 2 dif combi profiles

#

Or at least have like

#

The option between firing in standard or the combi

dusk patrol
#

That one isn’t even sanctioned yet though in the art lol

raven stone
#

And even worse (for deathwatch only) is that you are softlocked to not modelling in cool alien weapons, because you need a model Bolter base for the special ammo stratagems

arctic talon
#

Nid claw weapon

#

Mmmmmm

raven stone
#

In that list of stolen weapons, I find the lack of Drukhari tech disturbing lol

#

Like, Aeldari tech is psychic locked most likely

arctic talon
#

Maybe it blew up when they messed with it

#

Idk

raven stone
#

But anyone can steal Drukhari stuff…yea, possibly lol

arctic talon
#

It’s examples for kit bash and homebrew ideas

#

More then anything I’d assume

raven stone
#

Yea…man I hope the new codex doesn’t have silly things about special ammo for Bolt Weapons only any longer

#

So we can actually, y’know, start stealing Xenos guns

#

For that stupid “undefined Combi weapon” profile

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Like add Tau Battlesuit parts to PA

#

Or something

dusk patrol
#

Also an Eldar head which is kept alive and used to navigate the Webway

arctic talon
#

I’d assume it has to be sanctioned by the watchmaster and the

#

Head techmarine

raven stone
#

I would also assume both the Watchmaster and the Techmarine are very radical leaning

#

By personality or by Chapter

opaque coyote
#

They're definitely not puritan if they're considering using Xenos weaponry

#

Honestly, Xenos weaponry usage is probably less dangerous than the Radicals that fuck with Chaos.

That is bound to go wrong lmao

raven stone
#

Marines Errant have a special thing in the Deathwatch RPG book about having to use Xenos Weapons during their void adventures, so that is one.
Blackshields are a blank slate personality.

opaque coyote
#

Like if you can get a Necron gun to work (somehow)

#

Great

#

The worst case scenario is it either not working or exploding

raven stone
opaque coyote
#

If you can't decipher a chaos tome. It'd probably cause Daemons to spawn and the world to be fucked

raven stone
#

(Even Necron tech runs the risk of C’tan)

#

Maybe Drukhari tech if you manage to not poison yourself.

#

Given how the users want to be hurt as well.

arctic talon
#

The issue is picking the damn thing up

#

They’re heavy as shit

opaque coyote
raven stone
opaque coyote
#

So the things they give to their stereotypical soldiers are fine

#

Just not what the higher ranking necrons use

#

Cause then, yeah you might release a C'tan shard by mistake

raven stone
#

Actually, slapping Eldar-tech Antigravity suspensors onto a Gauss weapon

#

Is one of the best ways to insult Xenos lol

arctic talon
#

The necron melee weapons shouldn’t be too hard to use

#

Prolly heavy as hell but most likely not as bad as the guns

opaque coyote
#

Not kill

raven stone
arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

They have modified handles

raven stone
opaque coyote
#

Marines not machines

raven stone
#

They will definitely authorise Drukhari weapons for immobilising the target

opaque coyote
#

Wtf autocorrect

raven stone
#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

But yeah, imagine a marine with like

A Tau Pulse Carbine attached to their wrists

#

Or maybe using a Gauss Gun as a heavy weapon

raven stone
#

Max heresy. Max power.

opaque coyote
#

Speaking of Purity Seals

You think there's a planet exclusively made to making wax

#

Is there just a planet filled with Bees

raven stone
opaque coyote
#

Actually Wasps can produce Honey

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

And Wax

#

So...

arctic talon
#

I also imagine there’s a planet for making candles out of dead people

#

Lol

raven stone
arctic talon
#

Corpse wax world is very likely

opaque coyote

and Imperium somehow FARMS that stuff

Proving you don’t need to be in the military to be badass in 40k.

opaque coyote
#

They adapted and fused with the giant wasps there

#

Becoming some type of

#

Terrifying Tyrawasp

#

The reason why they're farmed is because they use photosynthesis somehow

#

The bad thing is that they also don't mind some extra energy to eat

Maybe corpses are fed to them instead

I think it’d be really fun to watch one space marine fight a xenomorph infestation and see how far it gets

it would legit be easier than fighting genestealers lol

But just one guy vs a planet

I was about to say I know power scaling is malleable but the Mechanicus game would've been way out of line if Flayed Ones could do that

So there is a misconception that Orks can imagine anything. Like if they believe a rock is a gun, it is a gun.

Of course, that can't happen because the Ork Gestalt is more like Reality Lube rather than full on reality warping.

It just skips some steps in the process of things like making guns and vehicles work.

dusk patrol
#

The guns and vehicles still work and run

#

They just work better

#

And don’t jam as much, fire straighter, go longer and faster

#

And all that

#

But they’re all functional

#

It just gives you better probability

opaque coyote
#

But I do have a funnier misconception to spread around to gaslight the fanbase.

What if Orks were just really unimaginative. Like they're just the WMD equivalent of a bunch of corporate executives.

"AROIGHT BOYZ. WE GOTTA MAKE A NEWZ STAR WARS MOVIES."

"OKAY, WE TAKE THE ORIGINAL FRANCHIZE.*

"UH HUH"

"WE CHANGE SOME CHARACTERS AROUND"

"UH HUH"

"WE'z ADD SOME FANCY NEW EFFEKTS AND MAKE IT INTO A NEW SERIES OF FILMS! THAT WAY WE GET THE HUMIES MONEY!"

"BRILLIANT SKULLCRUSHA!"

plush mason
opaque coyote
# dusk patrol But they’re all functional

Yup, but they don't work well. It's the equivalent of a shitty makeshift gun. Honestly you can barely call it a proper gun.

The Ork Gestalt just makes it so that it can actually shoot like... a regular gun. Of course it still malfunctions and explodes occasionally, but it's much better than what it would be without it.

storm jungle
#

Also if ork tech functioned just by thinking they wouldnt have an entire sub-type class aka Meks

plush mason
#

hell a lot of thems the gestalt isnt even what is making the thing work better, its just the pain job made a mek want to work it on

opaque coyote
#

Even with the Gestalt effect. Ork weapons are kinda unreliable

plush mason
#

yeah

opaque coyote
#

And ships, and vehicles, and

#

Yeah they're basically death traps with the Gestalt

honestly if you wanted some proper reads 40k is a bit hard if you've read most of the popular stuff.

like for example im currently reading some Warhammer Fantasy stuff with Tamurkhan who has an entire forgeworld book dedicated to him lol

40k in comparison can get a bit sparse with it

this one was special, orks gsg drukhari daemons csm and eldar

total mosspit

opaque coyote
#

Basically the backstory would be that it was just some random ass Imperium World with a fuck ton of secret STCs

#

But then it turns out it was a tomb world, and the Necrons awoke from their nap

#

And then the CSMs were interested in the STCs themselves and decided to invade

#

Then the shadow of the warp appeared, trapping them all inside, and the Tyranids came

#

Due to all the chaos, the Ork infestations weren't cleared away so the Orks came out

#

And then suddenly the combined warp presence of the tyranids and chaos daemons caused a mini-warp storm that basically redirects and forces ships, spacehulks, etc. to land on the planet.

#

There was an Exterminatus order, but it got stuck in the backlog due to the adminstratum being a fuckfest and is basically lost

#

Along with the sheer warp presence causing even more Daemons to join in the party. With the warp presence attracting more Orks, more humans, and some random Tau thrown in there for giggles

#

It's basically a Daemon-Tomb-World with Orks, Tyranids, and other popular races on it.

#

Yes I know this is ridiculous.

#

But it's fun

How can a planetary governor investigate a potential genestealer cult without having the people they send to investigate it be converted or killed?

sacred ginkgo
#

By sending good enough operatives I guess

#

Or phoning a friend like the local ordo xenos inquisitor/rogue trader

opaque coyote
#

Either that or contact the local inquistor

tough haven
#

Like you start seeing odd but not explicitly heretical sects of the imperial cult

opaque coyote
#

Y'know where Genestealer cults usually spring up

#

They're kind of obvious in the early stages if you manage to find them

#

But once they start looking more and more human uh

#

You're kinda fucked in the finding department

#

Genestealer cults are very hard to get rid of fully

tough haven
#

And they aren’t stupid

#

They’ll throw red herrings, false leads, the works

opaque coyote
#

Uh

#

Not much

#

That's when you call an inquistor

Provided they didn't get to you

sacred ginkgo
#

You just keep watch and try to burn them out every so often

tough haven
#

I’m saying if you don’t know if it’s a GSC cult yet

#

Most governors or citizens don’t even know of GSC

#

They’ll just think it’s a weird cult

opaque coyote
sacred ginkgo
#

Well as the planetary governer you can also just fabricate a reason to kill those people pretty easy

tough haven
#

And it’s hard because they will actively work to aid you to build trust, like rooting out actual chaos cults

opaque coyote
#

I mean the 3rd gens can pass off as minor mutations

And the 4th gens literally just look human

#

1st, 2nd, and aberrants are kinda obvious tho

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Also pure strain but that's obvious

tough haven
#

Since the hive mind preys on existing faith for the mind to conceptualize

#

Obviously any spiral iconography

#

I’m all about variance of beliefs, but anything like that is grounds for suspicion of cult activity

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

And anyone you send to investigate or dig deeper to explore the depth of the infection will likely be turned or killed

#

Unless you set up a multi layered web to audit the auditors

opaque coyote
#

Tbh honestly

Since the Chaos Gods has signature numbers.

If the Tyranid Hive Mind had a signature number, I think it would be 4

#

It makes sense considering in Asian cultures, it's usually associated with death

tough haven
#

But I don’t trust imperial aristocracy with nuance or planning

opaque coyote
tough haven
opaque coyote
#

But essentially, like you said, if there are any claims of the emperor coming down and saving everybody

#

You might need to consider getting on a ship..

#

The worst part is that saying that is heresy

Is Heresy

#

Since it could just be passed off as just another minor emperor cult

#

And Emperor Worship varies a lot

#

With the only constant being that he's the true god

#

Genestealers are fucking terrifying

tough haven
#

Just kill ‘em, it’ll be passed off as a fight between two different sects

#

Those are usually tolerated

opaque coyote
#

Also I wonder if like

#

3rd generation genestealers could cut off their ridges

#

To hide even better

#

Tbh the 1st and 2nd Genestealer would probably be killed just for being a mutant lmao

Re: Genestealer Cult.
There are still some tell tale signs as a planetary governor that I think you could use to identify one (but it depends on your lackeys being competent and not compromised).

(1) Pay attention to the content of their preachings, if they ramble on about “star father” or “families” and mention “many cousins” those are usually a tell tale sign. [Per a GSC vs Ad Mech novel]

(2) Be paranoid, if a particular sector of industry is suddenly booming from above average productivity. [To borrow from a Doctor Who episode: when nobody had taken sick leave at all, that is actually suspicious.]

ngl i was not expecting sm2 to have the tyranid raveners, dont see them much in video games/trailers

rocky gale
#

Seems odd that in SM2 Gravis can't use Heavy Bolt Rifles, considering that's their main weapon

raven stone
#

(3) Pay attention to working class rumours, especially about men/women disappearing from their families on a particular day, only to re-emerge having joined a cult/society (this one is arguably more generic, but is still a sign that a cult is active - and the personality change is probably borough on by GS kiss.)

storm jungle
#

Yeah the issue with genestealers is their taints can spread as far as your PDF/Military poses to almost anyone in the hive's strata of command as well

#

they are way more insidious in secrecy compared to chaos cults, so it becomes another "it depends" situation again

A Genestealer cult is abnormally patient too.
With the sole exception of importing an already fully tainted workforce/Guard regiment, in which case you could try to quickly suss out something, it doesn’t help that normal Cult infestation is a work of several generations

#

They literally build like…0.1% of strength every year. But then it slowly adds up…

Quite but so is a Marine shooting another Marine

storm jungle
#

its about the same kind of reaction you would give them along the lines of "what the fuck are you doing are you crazy?"

#
  • its a game dont think too hard about it
shadow plover

^this and if we think in within the lore a Marine should be able to avoid friendly fire in pretty much any situation so it's almost safe to assume the one doing the shooting didn't care too much 🤓
