arctic talon
#

into AoS?????

#

They should just have him show up

snow fern
#

Sorta? The little moon or something

arctic talon
#

and not explain anything at all

snow fern
#

I literally think he became a moon

arctic talon
#

you know

#

you're probably correct

plush mason
#

like, who the fuck wrote the endtimes? was it just some random interns or something

snow fern
#

It was a number of people, particularly one that liked the Dark Elves

#

And forgot that the Troll King is actually very intelligent

#

Throgg

plush mason
#

clearly they didnt like the dark elves much

snow fern
#

I’m not really sure what to make of, Malekith is supposed to be the Pheonix King actually

arctic talon
#

clearly whoever wrote it didn't like Elves or Dwarfs

#

or anyone but the skaven really

snow fern
#

I thought Nagash going and giving everyone access to the winds of death was funny

arctic talon
#

it was really funny

snow fern
#

And settra telling him to fuck off

plush mason
#

skaven had like the 2nd most Ws right? and if you count them as part of the wider chaos faction then chaos took all the wins

snow fern
#

I guess, the only Skaven that survives end times was Thanquol, but it was less Skaven winning and more other factions forced to lose

#

Ikit might have survived idk, something about a batshit Skaven Warlock Engineer appearing outa nowhere

plush mason
#

tbf every skaven warlock engineer is batshit crazy

arctic talon
#

@opaque coyote check your DMs

snow fern
#

When the hell we getting Thanquol in tww3?

arctic talon
#

good question

plush mason
#

they said they where not gona add endtimes stuff

snow fern
#

Sure but he can be flc like Gotrek and Felix

plush mason
#

true

snow fern
#

Or uh, The White Dwarf

#

In game 1

#

Grombrindal

arctic talon
#

I can't wait for random AoS designs to make it into Total war/j

#

I am joking

plush mason
#

Thanqoul is part of Gotrek and Felix's story after all

arctic talon
#

Thanquol wasn't even endtimes was he?

#

I mean his mini was but not his lore

snow fern
#

Also like Skaven don’t have a Grey Seer LL and it’s kinda wierd

#

Thanquol’s been around a while

#

I think they were implying him in a dlc with more units instead of, just a lord option like the other 2 White Dwarf promotionals

plush mason
snow fern
#

Depends on the book

#

Cause like, their last hoorah is literally a part of the end times

plush mason
#

i know

#

Gotrek is a slayer that outlived the very world lol

#

idk if that makes him the best or worst slayer in dwarven history

snow fern
#

I imagine he asks that question a lot

plush mason
#

same

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

I mean I guess if a Krieger became a perpetual.

He wouldn't know if it means he is forgiven

#

Or if he is condemned to hell

snow fern
#

Are perpetuals made or born?

arctic talon
#

I’m sure Gotrek would try to fight a God

arctic talon
#

As far as we know

plush mason
#

have any new ones been born in 40k?

snow fern
#

Like I know a lot of perpetuals hate Big Es guts, and that’s about it

arctic talon
#

There’s the grey knight one

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But I think he’s the only “new” perpetual we know of

#

He also has died in like

#

All 3 of his appearances

snow fern
#

Wait the ritual suicide thing isn’t canon anymore?

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

It’s not clear which method the emperor was created and born

#

All that is known is he’s old as shit

snow fern
#

I thought the whole shaman ritual thing was neat

arctic talon
#

It’s never been hard canon

#

That’s how he was born

plush mason
#

yeah afaik all we have are theories on how he came to be, nothing confirmed

arctic talon
#

We know he was alive back during the Tower of Babel

#

No this isn’t a joke the Tower of Babel was real in 40K

snow fern
#

What’s the Tower of Bable in 40k?

#

The great old ones telling humans to stay planetside?

plush mason
#

the Tower of Babel

#

like full on

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

yup

snow fern
#

Did the great old ones invent human language to prevent them from developing interstellar travel?

opaque coyote
snow fern
#

Is the Tower secretly a space elevator and a shipyard?

plush mason
snow fern
#

They made them I thought

plush mason
#

i think they where all dead when we where still just chimps

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

the war in heaven ended like 60 something million years ago

snow fern
#

Then who is the god responsible for the tower of babel?

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

Unclear which god

#

But it was built with enuncia

plush mason
#

Tzeentch most likely

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

We know the emperor wanted the knowledge of enuncia from it

opaque coyote
#

Which considering it was influenced by Chaos

...yeah

arctic talon
#

And some of the other perpetuals wanted to tear it down

snow fern
#

Oh Enuncia is literally like words of power

arctic talon
#

It ended up being destroyed

snow fern
#

Weird

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Because Ollanious shanked the emperor to distract him and used enuncia to tear it down

#

Unclear

plush mason
#

btw, where the old ones ever involved with earth that we know of? like i said they where all dead or near to that 60 million years ago while humanity isnt even a million years old

arctic talon
#

But the golden throne

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Is old ones tech

#

Mixed with eldar tech

#

Mixed with human tech

opaque coyote
#

Which considering how Gulliman feels

#

Yeah I wouldn't either

arctic talon
#

Mixed with imperial tech

#

Into a goddamn abomination of science that works

opaque coyote
plush mason
opaque coyote
#

Maybe Malcador but

snow fern
#

What exactly does the Golden Throne even do? Besides the Astronomicon?

arctic talon
#

Tbh I don’t even feel like he fully knows the original purpose

opaque coyote
#

He's also dead

arctic talon
#

Thanks magnus

snow fern
#

What did it do before Magnus destroyed the Webway project?

arctic talon
#

The original purpose was to stabilize the webway gate and project the astronomicon more easily

opaque coyote
#

But yeah now it's just keeping it shut

arctic talon
#

Nowadays it’s used to keep it shut + project the astronomicon more easily

opaque coyote
#

Also keeping the Emperor

#

""ALIVE""

arctic talon
#

If it opens hello new eye of terror

#

Eye of terra

#

Heh get it

snow fern
#

I mean aparently it's failing or something? They have to sacrifice more and more psykers every day

arctic talon
#

I’m so funny and original

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

It fluctuates between the usual amount to requiring like

opaque coyote
#

They actually brought Drukhari over to try and fix it

arctic talon
#

A sudden influx of way more

opaque coyote
#

Because they're that desperate

arctic talon
#

Now granted the price was considered way too high to pay lol

opaque coyote
snow fern
#

I'm not sure how I feel on the whole, the Imperium is like 5 seconds from total collapse thing, cause like, they'll never do an end times with their golden goose

arctic talon
#

No

#

He didn’t even get to touch it

opaque coyote
#

Or was that something else

opaque coyote
arctic talon
plush mason
#

the carrion throne series said it was like a century out from shutting down completely, but ofc that plot ended with no actual changes

arctic talon
#

With the current ramshackle repairs

arctic talon
plush mason
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

I’d assume the fabricator general of mars was wrong

#

On his time estimate

snow fern
#

There's also the Psychic Awakening, which is implying more and more humans are born as psykers every year, which was one of the factors that brought the end to the DAoT

plush mason
#

the admech where dooming hard

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

But yeah the golden throne breaking is bad for literally anyone except Chaos

snow fern
#

Humanity really kinda sucks at being psykers

arctic talon
#

It’s good for the orks

arctic talon
#

With how psykers get you know

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Treated like shit

#

The best psykers generally have good control over their emotions

opaque coyote
#

You get daemons in your head telling you to burn down your neighbor

snow fern
arctic talon
#

People who get abused constantly don’t tend to get that

opaque coyote
#

They got millions of years to adapt to it in a calmer warp

arctic talon
#

The eldar have had all of their existence to figure it out as well

opaque coyote
#

Humans tho?

#

Shoved into it suddenly

arctic talon
#

Humans kind of got dropped into the deep end

snow fern
#

And I'm not even sure if the Orks care about Weird Boys

arctic talon
#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

With no direction

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Basically one sibling is a blank

The other is an Alpha level Psyker.

With the Blank basically preventing people from finding out their sibling was a Psyker due to his aura

#

But then I remember

#

"Oh yeah higher level blanks literally turn people murderous"

#

But then there's shit like that one Sister of Silence who was so blank, she was basically invisible

arctic talon
#

Sister of silence 🤓

opaque coyote
#

Sorry typo

arctic talon
#

Though the Psyker twin would be in constant pain

#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

I think high level Psykers can resist blanks tho?

#

Unsure

#

Blanks are fucking weird

#

The rules on them are confusing

#

There also exists Daemon possessed blanks

#

Which like

#

How

tough haven
tough haven
arctic talon
#

It’s learned though

tough haven
#

Now he’s trapped

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Mfw the ulthwe seer council says your twin died under mysterious circumstances after saying they really needed a wraithknight

opaque coyote
#

Like I think it's one of the few times where their paranoia actually is

#

Somewhat reasonable?

arctic talon
#

Psykers shouldn’t literally get brutally beaten and killed

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Poor emotional regulation makes it easier for things like this to occur

tough haven
#

Well yeah, but this would be somewhat mitigated if people knew about daemons and how to combat them, along with more widespread, more forgiving training

arctic talon
#

Psykers being treated like shit is a self fufilling prophecy

tough haven
#

Yup

#

Become the monster they see you as

#

They see you as a monster

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Primaris psykers are also notably more stable often after they end up in that position

tough haven
#

Repeat ad infinitum

arctic talon
#

Because they don’t get treated like shit

#

Like they still have the threat of getting their head blown off

tough haven
arctic talon
#

But brutal beatings don’t happen

tough haven
#

Besides a priest who just says “pray harder”

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Would be intresting

opaque coyote
#

So basically they don't feel pain towards their twin specifically

#

Like it's their twin

#

But they still get disempowered towards other blanks

#

Also the blank twin helps the Psyker twin somewhat control their powers because

#

He keeps the daemons away

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

It’s a really easy concept

opaque coyote
#

Honestly it's wild to think that conversion camps are still legal

#

"You're gay? Just pray harder smh"

tough haven
#

Me too

plush mason
#

would using a blank to make a daemonhost make it easier to control?

opaque coyote
#

It would be funny

If it wasn't so sad

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

Use it as a torture device to maintain compliance

#

Actually

#

Good question, if a daemon dies in the presence of a blank, can it even return to the warp?

#

Or in say a blackstone pylon

snow fern
#

Whatever happened to that weird Emperor Killer blank?

opaque coyote
snow fern
#

I think blanks can kill daemons, truly kill them

opaque coyote
#

L + ratio

plush mason
snow fern
#

How does chaos even get the most powerful blank in existence?

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

It's not

#

mfw real life is worse than 40k at times

tough haven
#

Yup, so instead it’s horrible tragedy that erodes my faith in humanity

plush mason
tough haven
#

Who understand they can’t really control this stuff

opaque coyote
#

Also do y'all think Machine Spirits exist.

Tbh with the amount of warp phenomena that exist. I honestly fully believe that Machine Spirits do exist

plush mason
#

they do

tough haven
#

I think they do in one form or another

opaque coyote
#

It also makes sense because my printer is a LITTLE BITCH

#

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED BLUE

#

IT'S BLACK AND WHITE MF

tough haven
#

Whether it’s to the extent the mechanicus thinks is arguable

opaque coyote
#

YOU HAVE BLACK INK.

USE ITTTT

opaque coyote
#

Just a joke

tough haven
#

I meant in universe

#

Ah ok

plush mason
#

ask anyone that works in IT and they will tell you tech very much has a mind of it's own

tough haven
#

I mean, if you’re into animism sure

opaque coyote
#

If it did exist irl I wouldn't be surprised tho

tough haven
#

And you have to make superstitious rituals to make it work

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

My code magically working is

#

Unexplainable

plush mason
#

which is why you dont question it

tough haven
#

That’s why I love the Mechanicus, it’s a realistic representation of what would happen if engineers and coders were isolated from the rest of the world for a few millennia

snow fern
#

Sci Fi tech so advanced it's indistinguishable from magic

#

Doesn't help when the setting also has actual magic as well

tough haven
tough haven
opaque coyote
#

"Grab rock.

Etch ancient carvings and spells into it.

Apply nodes that allow it to control lightning.

It speaks a language incomprehensible to mankind.

We learn the code to harness it's power.

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand your request for 'Slaanesh Rule 34', can you please try again?"

tough haven
#

Where it’s up to discussion

opaque coyote
#

If it becomes ritual, it's impossible to forget

#

Too bad they took it too far and refuse to innovate

tough haven
#

I love how almost reasonable it is, how close it is to being a functional institution of learning

#

But instead it’s just stagnant

opaque coyote
#

Though to be fair.

Reverse engineering DAOT tech is like

Reverse engineering a Nuclear Reactor

#

Except a thousand times harder

tough haven
#

I love how they don’t even teach basic fundamentals

#

No one even knows why they do the smallest thing

#

Or why anything works

#

It’s literally a cargo cult of DAOT humanity

snow fern
#

What happens when an average IT guy gets into 40k

opaque coyote
#

Like how the average IT guy probably has learned calculus but

#

Yeah all they can really do is

tough haven
#

They’re still one of my favorite factions

#

I mean I get it

opaque coyote
#

"have you tried turning it on and off again?"

snow fern
#

Mechanicus are very funny

#

I still want Dark Mechanicum

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

Hell I don’t know how this device im using works in the slightest, or the network I use it on

snow fern
#

Imagine fighting war servitors in Darktide

#

It'd be so cool

tough haven
#

I just know how to hit the buttons to do the thing

opaque coyote
#

DAoT tech is probably infinitely more complicated

#

Shit like shooting out black holes

snow fern
#

Speaking of having no idea how the machine functions, Factorio is getting a DLC and that's funny

opaque coyote
#

Yeah good luck trying to figure out how that works

opaque coyote
#

They can't reverse engineer it even if they wanted to cause

#

It's the only one

#

It's probably why they look for STCs instead of innovating

#

Although that's no excuse, it makes sense

#

Why do the work if someone else did it?

plush mason
snow fern
#

What do you mean stack? I'm not deep in the Factorio lore

opaque coyote
#

Honestly the Mechanicus are almost reasonable at times

But then they do something like call people "pre-servitors"

#

And I'm like

plush mason
#

afaik you couldnt stack stuff on top of each other on the coveyer belts, the devs said it was impossible for a while then somehow they figured out how to make it happen

crisp heath
opaque coyote
#

"Oh yeah. It's the Mechanicus"

crisp heath
#

why prove this tech is safe if someone else has already proven it?

snow fern
#

It's called the scientific method

crisp heath
#

otherwise you innovate and come up with abominable intelligences or something

opaque coyote
snow fern
#

You gotta double check and triple check results

opaque coyote
#

"Oh boy time to turn on this car!"

#

DAEMONS COME OUT

tough haven
#

In the initial phases of a GSC uprising how do you minimize the confusion of soldiers turning against each other since some of them unknowingly carry the taint?

opaque coyote
#

See if they have any weird bumps on their heads

#

Or ridges

#

If they do

#

Shoot them

tough haven
#

But later generations are nearly indistinguishable

snow fern
#

Getting rid of a cult is like, almost actually impossible

#

maybe actually impossible

tough haven
#

Also at this stage they’re already shooting you

opaque coyote
#

"shoot them back"

tough haven
#

Not sure how you would do the best possible

opaque coyote
#

"hope you don't get friendly fired by accident"

tough haven
#

Well they might not shoot you immediately I suppose

opaque coyote
#

Tyranids are fucking scary man

tough haven
#

I love GSC, so much flavor and life, unlike actual nids

#

I’ve never actually played against them though

opaque coyote
#

They're aliens

#

Make them look alien

#

Instead of "humanoid bug with bio gun"

tough haven
#

They’re very uniform for a shape shifting adaptable species

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I had the idea of like

#

Them incorporating tech from the races as body parts

#

Imagine a Tyranid having like Lasguns attached to their bodies

#

And just shooting

tough haven
#

I still think mechanicus would be the best human faction to deal with GSC beyond inquisition, as long as you aren’t completely fucking inept like in Ascemsion Day

crisp heath
tough haven
tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Extra firepower

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

But yeah Lasguns are just used as an example

tough haven
#

Can you really increase resilience to psychic control without reducing mental capacity or psychic ability? (If they have any)

opaque coyote
#

Imagine a Tyranid with Storm Bolters on their back

#

Fuck imagine a Carnifex with Storm Bolters attached to them

snow fern
#

I wish Nids were interesting

#

Hungry Hungry Hippos is a very 1 dimensional kinda game

opaque coyote
#

Yeah like Chaos

#

And the Orks

#

And the Mega Arachnids

#

And...

#

Yeah

#

Nah the Imperium is gonna be fine

tough haven
#

A good step in dealing with GSC would be to topple infrastructure

#

So they lose a lot of their advantage of using infrastructure they’ve infiltrated

#

You lose it too, but then the ground is leveled

opaque coyote
#

A big problem with a Tyranid invasion is the shadow of the warp that cuts you off from support thi

tough haven
#

No like blow up major roadways, railways etc

opaque coyote
#

Sure it does level the ground but you could also use it

tough haven
#

Yeah but so does them using it against you

#

But then if you leave it be they have numbers and your equipment

#

I guess general anti terror tactics would probably work

#

Though I don’t know what that would look like

crystal forum

brutal oppression on a wide scale

Do space marines wear socks?

Like under their armour, and their leather suit, they just have a comfy set of socks?

dusk patrol

They wear a fully body suit

spark zenith
#

Yeah

#

But under their leather suit

#

Just a silly pair of socks

storm jungle
#

the bodysuit is the socks

paper haven
#

ok but seriously. Do we ever get to kill Leandros?

dusk patrol
#

Probably not

#

If anything he’s probably just gonna be a lieutenant or sgt now and they might see eachother

green loom
storm jungle
#

He plotted the tyranid invasion

#

just to kill titus

green loom
#

Comes in and kills the Sergeant in your squad

#

He's pretty scary

storm jungle
#

Quivering in my boots rn as we speak

green loom
#

He likes tries ascending to daemonhood about mid way through the final act but just gets turned into a massive chaos spawn

storm jungle
green loom
#

Boss fight is real rough

#

Like even Nemeroth shows up

#

It's pretty awesome

dusk patrol
#

Then Guilliman shows up and gives Titus a slap on the ass and says he did a good job

green loom
#

All worth it for Guilliman to appear at the end and chop Leandros in two, before calling Titus his truest, most based son, and promotes him to Chapter master of all space marines

dusk patrol
#

And then Yvraine shows up and they make out

#

For an uncomfortably long time

#

Like there’s two hours of credits

#

And the entire time they’re making out

green loom
#

Then they hold the gender reveal party for their baby and accidentally blow the planet up

I'm just saying be glad they didn't include Aggressors

#

I’ve just seen the cutscene with the daemon thing

storm jungle
#

Its so good lmfao

dusk patrol
#

Pretty cool iron halo animation

storm jungle
#

also its such a sorceror thing to do too

green loom
#

Okay but am I the only one getting Blur studio vibes from the cutscenes

storm jungle
#

"Titus im your Chapter Master. You suck and should die."

#

"NOOOO THIS CANT BE"

shell mason

Lmao

dusk patrol
#

Not sure but I wouldn’t be surprised

#

They’re pretty cool

green loom
#

I still find it funny their like

#

Breakout animation

#

Was the intro to Dawn of War 1

dusk patrol
#

Fortunately it’s a video game so we we have I frames now and can jsut roll around Hive Tyrants and Greater Daemons and slap their balls with our combat knives

#

And win

#

Should have had less predictable attack patterns loser

green loom
#

This is how it makes sense in lore now canonically

#

Space Marines are all playing Dark souls

shell mason
#

only things I've seen is gameplay

dusk patrol
#

Tyranid players watching three normal marines killing a Hive Tyrant with no backup by themselves

green loom
#

In fairness

#

It literally has a piece of concrete

#

Going through it's entire mid section

dusk patrol
#

Yeah well whose fault was that?

green loom
#

Ours smilecat

storm jungle
# dusk patrol And win

At least they kinda explain how 4 marines can kill a hive tyrant with it being injured i guess but its still very goofy

#

but also dark souls so

dusk patrol
#

It’s like Darktide and us endlessly killing spawns, plague Ogryns and Beasts of Nurgle

storm jungle
#

I mean

dusk patrol
#

Just gotta kinda ignore it

storm jungle
#

darktide is nowhere that bad

#

lmao

dusk patrol
#

Beasts of Nurgle are way beyond what we should be able to take on

storm jungle
#

its not comparable to a hive tyrant imo

green loom
#

I just realy love it's model with the fkn rebar just lodged through basically it's entire body

dusk patrol
#

For marines? Yeah it’s basically the same

celest dome
#

Beasts of Nurgle are much less than a Hive Tyrant

storm jungle
#

^

green loom
#

More like

dusk patrol
#

Not for normal schmucks

green loom
#

Smell Tyrant

storm jungle
#

We arent normal schmucks tho

#

minus the zealots almost all the rejects are some form of combat veterans

dusk patrol
#

Sorry, well disciplined normal schnucks

storm jungle
#

Me when i see army dudes and call them this

celest dome
#

Hive Tyrants I would equal more to a Daemon Engine or a lesser Greater Unclean one

storm jungle
#

its still too much but its for Cinema™️

#

you get em Inquisitor Scorcese

green loom
#

So btw

#

What do you think is the likelihood Owlcat make a WHF TTRPG game

storm jungle
#

Uhh

dusk patrol
#

Yes and marines killing one of those is about the same as a random Ogryn, a couple veteran guardsmen and one fanatic beating a beast of Nurgle to death

storm jungle
#

not likely yet

#

they will milk the other Fantasy Flight IPs first

#

which as long as they do well idc

green loom
#

Yeah but like, at any point

storm jungle
#

Its not that silly

dusk patrol
#

It’s technically possible but it’s definitely harder than the game makes out

#

Because it’s a game

storm jungle
#

Well yeah no shit

dusk patrol
#

Which was my point

storm jungle
#

do you want to just choke and die 5s into fighting it

dusk patrol

So I’m correct cool

#

Glad we agreed on that

storm jungle
#

you arent you're just a downer

celest dome
storm jungle
#

like im not complaining about how Titus and Co dont get drowned in tyranids and stabbed to death either

green loom
#

So

storm jungle
#

its not fun

green loom
#

They probably wouldn't mind

dusk patrol
#

My point is both are games and take some liberties

celest dome
#

I'd love a vrpg about Vamp the Masquarade, or even Hunter

green loom
#

Also since they've done this theyll probably have pretty minimal work to do in terms of remaking gameplay mechanics/adding weapons

#

So

dusk patrol
#

Like the hordes we kill in Darktide at higher difficulties are absurd too

#

Because it’s a game

green loom
#

Not to mention the massive heaps of assets they can freely reuse

storm jungle
#

I mean yeah but high difficulties arent suppose to be "lore accurate" lol

#

But yeah its more that calling it unfeasible is a bit stretching it, especially when again they dont put these enemies into the game willy nilly without GW permission; again

#

its why the new enemies are just

#

two hopped up human chaos captains

#

some homeless person who throws COVID bombs

#

also just... half the equipment we have

#

which includes multiple power weapons and other heavy munitions/gear too

celest dome
#

The highest being I's say we could see are Lesser Daemon

storm jungle
#

if we just killed it with automatic weapons/lasguns id get it lol

celest dome
#

Maybe pushing to unnamed-uninportant Heralds

storm jungle
#

yeah its the same reason why the most dangerous enemy in this game is a traitor guard guy whos taller than us

celest dome
#

As Lord

storm jungle
#

well uh

#

used to be

#

the daemonhost/Beast i can kinda get but idk if its impossible, literally keep your distance and shoot it

#

how do you think inquisitors/guardsmen/marines deal with it in general

celest dome
#

Basically if we could plausibly kill one, it's fair play to introduce it in game

storm jungle
#

or just get vored i guess

storm jungle
#

its not FS deciding it either so like lol

celest dome
#

I think it's FS deciding on what they want to do, and GW saying yes or no

storm jungle
#

Id say more but also NDA 💀

celest dome
#

So GW doesn't really force what get introduce per say

storm jungle
#

And ye its basically:
"Can we use this?"

#

and you get either a:

#

"No its not lore accurate."

#

"Sure."

#

no in-between basically

sacred ginkgo
#

Their email chains must be insane

storm jungle
#

uhhh

#

you got no idea

celest dome
#

Ah, there is an inbetween

#

warrior priest flail

sacred ginkgo
storm jungle
#

yeah its uhhh KEKW_ogryn

#

because again almost EVERYTHING in this game has to go through them

#

when something doesnt add up lorewise they will straight up say "no"

#

unless as cacti said it slike a weapon middle-ground

dusk patrol
#

There’s still just game mechanics though, like Grail Knight Kruber still using bombs is one of many things they just hand wave.

celest dome
#

I don't think GW is really as hard as to just shut down the discussion, some thing they'll not be ok with but you know, if there are ways to make thing work they'll do

dusk patrol
#

Grail Knight Kruber in general is uh

#

I don’t think GW cares about certain things as much frankly.

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Like we have Grey Knights getting gunned down by random cultists super easily in Chaos Gate

celest dome
#

GK not being allowed ranged and such are mostly a Bretonnian thing and not a Lady thing

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

so its not really comparable

celest dome
#

The Lady does not care KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

especially since remember Fantasy was like a dead IP

#

40k is the more popular one

#

and like well, still active lol

celest dome
#

And FS want it to be at the latest time of the setting

dusk patrol
storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Is there though?

storm jungle
#

Yeah there is

celest dome
#

In fairness, the TT itself also have things that are goofy for the lore 🤷

storm jungle
#

like you are talking to someone who sees this background stuff

#

im not saying this to win an argument

dusk patrol
#

Chaos Gate was actually canon lore

storm jungle
#

Im not talking about canon

dusk patrol
#

It was written by BL authors

storm jungle
#

Im talking about the pressure applied between both games

dusk patrol
#

Have you seen the pressure they applied in Chaos Gate?

storm jungle
celest dome
#

I'm not sure what pressure mean here

storm jungle
#

Uh basically

dusk patrol
#

More to my point

storm jungle
#

Not really. I very much could just break NDA and tell you half the shit GW does for "lore accuracy" behind the scenes and the things devs want to add half the time because they just cant, same with GW's opinion on DT compared to other 40k games.

#

But again im not doing this to win an argument

#

its just handwaving these away because "its a game" when the freedom offered is not as free as people like to think it is KEKW_ogryn

celest dome
#

What was the argument again ?

storm jungle
#

Uhh

#

rejects killing beast of nurgle

#

and plague ogryn

celest dome
#

Oh that

storm jungle
#

too much because they'd just die in lore

#

i also like

#

dont wanna be a warthunder forum user

dusk patrol
#

My point was it’s about as likely as group of three marines killing a Hive Tyrant

celest dome
#

Yeah that's not really an issue, it can happen, like I'd say 4/10

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Well that’s what I said so

storm jungle
#

a plague ogryn/beast of nurgle is a cannon fodder monster

#

and a hive tyrant is well

#

a fucking hive tyrant

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

Yes and marines are marines

storm jungle
#

its like us killing a Great Unclean One

dusk patrol
#

And the rejects are slightly better normal dudes mostly

storm jungle
#

So and so.

#

We are basically just a good kill-team

#

this is more or less a Dark Heresy campaign

celest dome
#

BoN and Plaugryn could be either Monster or Elites against SM

dusk patrol
#

So yeah he credits transfer, plague Ogryns are insanely dangerous

storm jungle
#

I mean

dusk patrol
#

Same with BoN

storm jungle
#

you can apply this to any monster in 40k

#

they are as dangerous as the plot allows them to be lol

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

For normies that’s a huge take for four dudes to kill one with pretty basic weapons

storm jungle
#

"basic weapons"

#

plasma guns, power weapons, bolters, ripper guns, psychic staffs, etc

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

No lol

sacred ginkgo
#

Our stuff is also borderline mastercrafted

celest dome
#

Hive Tyrant would really be a target that I don't think you can take on in regular combat, and have to use supporting fire (eg: Artillery or tanks)

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
#

Not really

dusk patrol
#

The power swords have to be constantly re activitied

storm jungle
#

Okay but so do they in canon

#

you gotta press a stub to activate it

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

Which once again

#

Is my point

storm jungle
#

again

celest dome
storm jungle
#

a hive tyrant is not comparable to fodder monsters

dusk patrol
#

Yes it basically is for most

storm jungle
#

Its not.

#

Literally just let go of it dude

dusk patrol
#

It’s a very unlikely victory

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

It’s not impossible but it’s unlikely

celest dome
#

So Dilara, a question that should not break any NDA, any new about Catfish ? Is she doing better ?

storm jungle
#

Yes she is, she came back two weeks prior

#

was just overworked due to "stuff" as you know

celest dome
#

Nice, hope to see her soon again

dusk patrol
#

Because it’s a game

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

That was my fucking point

storm jungle
#

We do thigns regular humans do in books and marines do what regular marines do in books.

#

"iTs uNlİkEly"

#

okay lol

dusk patrol
#

Yeah it is

storm jungle
#

Cool.

#

I will be sure to remind these points every time Titus and Co kill a zoanthrope.

#

"OH THEY SHOULD NOT SURVIVE THAT IT WOULD FRY THEIR BRAINS"

dusk patrol
#

Yes

#

I don’t get what your point is that’s my fucking point

storm jungle
#

....

dusk patrol
#

It’s a game so we do a bit more ridiculous stuff

storm jungle
#

My point is its not that fucking ridiculous.

#

Jesus

#

Anyway we won't agree. Good chat.

#

more at 11

dusk patrol
#

You’re literally agreeing with me then saying you’re not

storm jungle
celest dome
#

Don't think so

storm jungle
#

Ah okay fair.

dusk patrol
#

Also I hate making hard boiled eggs fuck

shadow plover
#

put egg into hot water, wait, done

dusk patrol
#

I’m aware

#

The hard part is getting it right for this fucking recipe

shadow plover
#

9 minutes 45 seconds

celest dome
#

Are you making Mimosa egg ?

dusk patrol
#

No it’s for these scotch egg things and my mom wants them a certain way for a family get together

#

It’s annoying, it’s not the worst thing but I’m annoyed

sacred ginkgo
#

I tired scotched eggs once

#

Didn’t work

#

But yeah they have specific timing

dusk patrol
#

Idk why I’m the one making them

#

But I guess I am

#

But yeah you need a very specific type of boiled egg and it’s annoying getting the timing

sacred ginkgo
#

It’s also painful because after peeling an egg with a still runny yoke you have to then meatball it without breaking it

#

Actually painful

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

sacred ginkgo
#

Not only did they fail, they were also overly salty

celest dome
#

Why not poach the egg instead ?

dusk patrol
#

Unironically half a mind to just see if someone sells them nearby and get some fresh before the get together

#

lol

#

They’re good but it’s a lot of effort

sacred ginkgo
#

Worst case just make good deviled eggs

dusk patrol
#

Well I could make deviled eggs

#

Idk about good ones

nocturne crest
#

So odd question, but would the Iron Hands betray the Imperium if it meant saving their chapter and Medusa if the emperor's light when?

storm jungle
#

@dusk patrol

#

Probably the only expert for that question Warden_is_sus

dusk patrol
#

And it depends on why

queen laurel
#

good thing it was actually for the question

wintry scarab
#

In SM2 are the multiplayer classes like named characters seeing as each class shares their own unique voice and face model?

dusk patrol
#

In general they’re very much loyal they just only care about being efficient, they dont commit to conflicts which won’t be a net benefit and if they see a fight as lost they typically won’t take it. They have a value they assign to every marine, vehicle, weapon, armor set, down to the last bolt shell they fire and they decide based off that how to approach conflicts

#

They’ll save a hive world if it’s deemed valuable to the overall survival of the Imperium, they won’t save it because it’s got people but because the value of the people on the world and its industry

#

So, if Medusa being destroyed was deemed a net benefit then maybe.

#

If the chapter being destroyed was somehow necessary and they knew that then they could, but generally they’re gonna take the path of surviving to continue to be of use.

#

Also, all of this varies by clan company and what constitutes value isn’t agreed upon by them as a whole so yeah.

#

Tl;dr, it depends/maybe

nocturne crest
#

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

storm jungle
celest dome
#

So if multiple of the same class they'll have the same VA ?

storm jungle
#

Clone Wars babyyyy

#

but idk we'll see

#

i doubt they'd be that sloppy

fallen plaza
#

I assume its suppose to be set up like a what if another squad mate of yours survived

dusk patrol
#

I haven’t seen anyone do so yet

storm jungle
#

if you cant thats gay

#

4 multi-melta squad rip

dusk patrol
#

It’s 3 man squads

#

Fake fan

#

But, you could do a three man melta squad even if they do

#

With the tactical, vanguard and heavy

#

Reiver with a melta does seem pretty fun ngl

#

The fact that I kinda wanna play all of them based off gameplay is pretty cool though

fallen plaza
#

How is the powerfist in this game btw

dusk patrol
#

It’s good

#

Good for crowd control

#

AoE stuns

fallen plaza
#

Thats good to know

dusk patrol
#

Faster than the thunder hammer for assault but not as powerful if you charge the Thammer

fallen plaza
#

Why is f!sting censored

#

That is stupid

dusk patrol
#

Google f isting

#

Turn off safe search

#

Click images

fallen plaza
#

I know what it damn is

storm jungle
#

do you though

#

🤛

fallen plaza
#

😒

storm jungle
#

Also i asked for it to be uncensored but they said no

fallen plaza
#

f!sting is 300 aquilas

storm jungle
#

better keep that money for your successor packs

dusk patrol
#

Damn pretty cheap

#

Sniper actually seems pretty dope, especially in higher difficulties

#

Where there’s more elites to kill to clear hordes

storm jungle
#

what if you get ass-stabbed by a lictor though

#

no battle-bros to watch your back knowing pubs

dusk patrol
#

Just pop invis and cap his silly ass

storm jungle
#

also one thing i know im gonna hate

#

the dark souls crouch-lunge thing

#

god theres so much of it

#

like that hive tyrant fight

#

was literally just this

#

lmao

fallen plaza
#

Dodging like that feels good

dusk patrol
#

It seems people aren’t dodging like you’re supposed to Tbf there’s ways to do it and you get a counter hit

#

It looks a lot better

storm jungle
#

Me when journalists

#

anyway i heard this game is like baldurs gate 3

#

where is the romance cutscenes

dusk patrol
#

Lots of them are saying the sniper sucks which is

fallen plaza
#

Me when when the when

dusk patrol
#

Amusing

storm jungle
#

I mean

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

WHERE

dusk patrol
#

2 hour make out scene

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

With Yvraine and Guilliman

storm jungle
#

bro is spoiling the game for me wtf

dusk patrol
#

With QTEs for when to fondle

storm jungle
#

THIS ISNT GOD OF WAR

fallen plaza
#

I think the calgar daydreaming scene was foreshadowing something spicy

storm jungle
#

NOOOOO

storm jungle
#

there is like 10000 rubric marines in the background

#

gotta go through them all if you know what i mean

fallen plaza
#

😁

dusk patrol
#

I do enjoy the Rubric finishers

storm jungle
#

BRUH

dusk patrol
#

Just rip their heads off

storm jungle
#

oh

#

that kind

#

yes very cool

fallen plaza
#

Hilarious as always

dusk patrol
#

They don’t even have peeners

storm jungle
#

its magic

#

do we need to explain it

dusk patrol
#

Magical hand jobs

fallen plaza
#

Walking fuckin urn looking asses

storm jungle
#

God 💀

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Jerk off the Urn Trooper Soldier!

fallen plaza
#

He’s gonna burst!

storm jungle
#

So much of that from being around magnus so much

dusk patrol
#

Curious how the Tsons will play vs the Nids gameplay.

#

Horrordes

#

Maybe

storm jungle
#

Im guessing basically just keeping distance and pelting you with shit because like... rubrics are not that different from fighting what is essentially robots

#

also ye they do have cannon fodder enemies

#

with the uhhh

#

cultists/tzaangors

fallen plaza
#

I always liked the robotic aspect of the tsons

dusk patrol
#

Oh yeah cultists

storm jungle
#

Luv me dust-automatons

#

also to be tabletop accurate

#

we will need the combat encounters to be

#

5 rubrics

#

1000 tzaangors

#

🙏

dusk patrol
#

I wonder if they’ll have it so if you kill the sorcerer the rubrics all collapse

fallen plaza
#

Tsons needs to being back the psykic robots back

storm jungle
#

if only

fallen plaza
#

Make it an enemy type in sm2

storm jungle
#

also 30k fan moment

#

fucking nerd

celest dome
#

Maybe TSons won't be in the PvE outside of the campaign

dusk patrol
#

It could happen

storm jungle
#

Yeah i doubt it

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

What we need

storm jungle
#

a small "boss" encounter?

dusk patrol
#

Is the beyblade sorcerers

storm jungle
#

oh christ

fallen plaza
#

Ahriman boss fight

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
#

Titus wins, for some reason, plot i guess

dusk patrol
#

Also the one boss for the campaign I assume

storm jungle
#

we do know the main bad guy is that fucking uhh

#

melted cheese face sorceror Imurah or something

#

not even a spoiler since ever 40k game with a chaos enemy needs a big bad marine boss-man

#

otherwise we'll see, im legit gonna be impressed if they dont make a canon chaos character cameo

dusk patrol
#

Ahriman shows up to steal some shit and leaves

#

On another “totally gonna work this time” plan to fix the Rubric

storm jungle
#

lol

#

dumbass

dusk patrol
#

They are they right colors tbh

shell mason
fallen plaza
#

I always imagine ahriman as having gelts voice from tw, and now i want him to have that

dusk patrol
#

They both do that shit

storm jungle
fallen plaza
#

I fucking love his voice

dusk patrol
#

Ahriman basically just fucks around doing wild schemes building a cult for a decade so he can still some saints toe wart because he thinks it’ll help him fix the Rubric

storm jungle
#

Yeah its why while i do love his books

#

every one of their summary is

#

WILL HE FIX THE RUBRIC THIS TIME

#

No he wont

#

stfu

#

CHRIST

sacred ginkgo
#

In what way will he fail this time?

storm jungle
#

better ty

#

lmao

fallen plaza
#

Thats what he gets for being a wizard the freaking nerd

storm jungle
#

Shut up nerd hes a cooler nerd

shell mason
#

morty

storm jungle
#

NO

fallen plaza
#

Uh jeez rick

#

Im smelly now

storm jungle
#

I also still got no idea

fallen plaza
#

Im not complaining

storm jungle

fallen plaza
#

shell mason

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

GOD

fallen plaza
#

Yummy

shell mason
#

dusk patrol
#

How did you find

storm jungle
#

To be fair that is cool

#

dusk patrol
#

The worst fucking fanfic art

storm jungle
#

fallen plaza
#

When did morty become handsome in this

storm jungle
#

#

he looks like a crack addict

dusk patrol
shell mason
#

He couldn't hurt a disabled baby

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

There we go

storm jungle
fallen plaza
storm jungle

fallen plaza
#

I dont fucking play league

dusk patrol

Theres way worse WoW style 40k artworks out there

especially official ones lol

shell mason
#

Morty a good lad

dusk patrol
storm jungle

fallen plaza
dusk patrol
#

Yeh but at least the girls got massive boobies

storm jungle
fallen plaza
#

Boobies!

dusk patrol
#

And all look like hot models with like

#

Sometimes pointy ears

#

Or super pale or whatever

#

Ah yes the leader of the undead hordes

#

You can tell cause her eyes are a little funky

#

That being said

fallen plaza
#

I’d still hit her if i could

dusk patrol
#

She was the last time I kept up with WoW lore much and it wasn’t going good

green loom
#

It's going better but it's just "fine" now

shell mason
#

stop being horny on main

green loom
#

The only sad thing is they didn't put her down lmao

#

At least she's written out of the story for now

dusk patrol
#

That’s good

#

She was the fucking worst

#

So cringe

green loom
#

I'm sure this incredibly spiky death god who made the guy that killed me is totally the good guy and not at all evil

dusk patrol
#

Tbf he does look super dope

#

Hard to blame her

green loom
#

"I can't believe he wants to torture and enslave all life" she says, while torturing and enslaving dozens of people at a time

wintry scarab
#

On the GW site, some Ravenguard have their eyes painted the other way around. So the white is black and black is white. Is that just a style choice or is there actual lore behind it?

fallen plaza
#

Its a jean thing

Coruvs has it, so do his boys
