good staregryn

rocky gale
#

That's your problem don't use iron sights

#

You hipfire that dog and pray

opaque coyote
#

Seriously though why do both the Bolter and the Bolt Pistol have some type of

Weird shifting iron sights

#

Like why is that a thing

#

I mean at least for the Bolter it's fine

But for the Bolt Pistol it's far more serious

#

Bolt Pistol complaining aside

The Sisters of Battle use the Godwyn-De'az pattern. So maybe Ultima means the sector that made it

#

The Boltgun we use basically was used by the Adeptus Arbites before they came into our grubby hands

#

No idea why the magazine is 15 though. Maybe the dealer scammed the ship or something

#

My best guess is that Godwyn is the creator of the general pattern, and the hyphen is used for the system?

storm jungle
#

also 15 rounds is still alot for a bolt pistol

opaque coyote
#

The Bolter

#

The Bolter has 15 rounds per mag

storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

The Bolt pistol has 8 rounds

tough haven
#

It has near perfect hip fire accuracy though

storm jungle
#

lore accurate too KEKW_ogryn

crystal forum
#

bolter magazine sizes is comedically inconsistent

tough haven
#

And the pistol whip into instant point blank shots is so satisfying

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

The SM bolters are stated to USUALLY have 30 rounds tho (depends on the pattern)

Unsure about the Sisters of Battle bolter

storm jungle
#

Its inconsistency.

crystal forum
#

sometimes bolters are depicted as shooting full auto super quickly, sometimes they're just a couple of rounds before being out

storm jungle
#

dont get too caught up on it

tough haven
storm jungle
#

full auto is almost non-existant minus Astartes

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

And even then it’s usually for heavy or storm bolter

crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

The actual reason is probably just

#

Balance

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

fuck you

crystal forum
#

also tabeltop wise bolters have like 5 rounds visually lel

storm jungle
#

never try to compare the tabletop to ANYTHING

opaque coyote
#

He had to put it on the parapets too

#

And he's a SPHESS MARINEZ.

crystal forum
#

logically astartes dont need full auto since one shot just tears holes through most enemies

opaque coyote
#

Imagine a regular person trying to put it on full auto

crystal forum
#

but never ever ask how they can reload so many times

opaque coyote
#

As for where they even store the ammo

#

Books actually do state the SMs have a belt where they store it

crystal forum
#

also i see you were maybe mistaken earlier

#

it's not just astartes who use godwyn

#

it's also used by other human factions

#

it is not in fact a different model

opaque coyote
#

I said the Sisters of Battle use the Godwyn-De'az pattern

crystal forum
#

you said the one in game is from arbites

opaque coyote
#

Yeah the Locke one

#

I think it even said in game that it's a hand-me-dowm from the Arbites

crystal forum
#

did it?

opaque coyote
#

The Bolt Pistol is a different pattern.

Godwyn-Branx

crystal forum
#

still lame that they removed the gun descriptions

opaque coyote
#

Anyways, personal headcanon is that the SMs store extra magazines in their pauldron

crystal forum
#

no the pauldrons are where they store the plot armour

opaque coyote
#

Because the idea of somebody opening a compartment there and grabbing out 2 mags is funny

celest dome
#

Laati is correct. Boltgun is from Abrites and Bolt Pistol is from the Sisters

crystal forum
#

interesting

soft thunder
#

Oh wait looking shit up seems like everything bolt-adjacent is godwyn or something.

crystal forum
#

everything post HH is probably godwyn adjacent

opaque coyote
#

There are some patterns that are either old

Or Mechanicus made.

I think the Bolt Rifles that the Primaris use is the Cawl Pattern

crystal forum
#

oh right

#

forgot entirely about the millions of modern bolter variants

opaque coyote
#

But in general

Godwyn or bust

#

Anyways, pattern names that are about as consistent as Tzeentch's plans aside

#

You ever wonder how cooked Tau taste like

soft thunder
#

ya I was gonna say patterns are meaningless because they all look the same

opaque coyote
#

Apparently the reason why they're so blue is because they have an excess of cobalt in their system

I think the bolt carbine is based on the umbra

Either way Cawl is a derivative mf’er who labels stuff as his lol

which bolt carbine B_DogCheemsSmile

Come on and slam

Slamguinius and the iron hands bike captain

opaque coyote

#

And welcome to the jam

arctic talon
#

The iron hands jump captain was also horrifying lol

arctic talon
#

The translators got lazy

opaque coyote
#

Oh cool

#

And also funny

arctic talon
#

The fenrisian naming conventions for space wolf stuff is more varied

opaque coyote
#

I can just imagine a Space Wolf yell to some translator

arctic talon
#

It’s just in universe the translators to high gothic couldn’t be assed to translate everything

#

So a lot of things ended up with wolf just because they’re already called space wolves

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

What’s the harm in calling this piece of equipment a wolf as well

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

I’m paraphrasing

dusk patrol
#

Medusan has the opposite issue where it’s too simple and direct

#

Not much room for emotion or diplomatic attempts

I had a blood angels jump chaplain with a hammer and stormshield and he was OP as fuck

Slamguinius was horrifying

And the fact you could run mini slamguinius with the jump chap lol

If you don’t comply they’ll kill you

i could try that

Activated my trap card bitch

#

How the fuck did chaos forces fuck with blackstone pylons in the nexus? Can’t daemons not exist in the nexus since there’s no connection to the warp?

crystal forum
#

despite my inclination to work on something else i have commenced this

arctic talon
#

And Vashtorr was able to hijack the pylon before he got torn apart by the null field

tough haven
#

Or like an attack of opportunity after it happened?

arctic talon
#

Attack of opportunity

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Armageddon Saint also mentioned that Orks hated blanks cause they disrupted the connection to the Gestalt

tough haven
#

So what does that look like?

#

Does their tech stop working?

#

Do they get less aggressive?

#

Do they just get disorganized?

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

No way they have the ork killing genocide laser

opaque coyote
#

Also Blackstone can also multiply psychic powers.

#

For

#

some reason

tough haven
#

Or just the anti ork bug zapper

opaque coyote
tough haven
arctic talon
#

Their tech starts to break more

#

Eventually a waaagh just falls apart

opaque coyote
# tough haven No way they have the ork killing genocide laser

How it worked was that you get a bunch of weirdboyz together with some blanks, then antagonizing the psykers to build up the WAAAGH! energy. When all the blanks leave at once, the sudden psychic feedback has... some nasty effects on any Boyz in the vicinity.

#

Considering that Weirdboys can explode heads randomly especially when they die

tough haven
#

I know they can create a false waaagh to make orks fight and kill each other

#

But damn

opaque coyote
#

I assume the blanks sort of take away the waagh energy

tough haven
#

I imagine it’s like a psychic cap

opaque coyote
#

then the sudden surge of WAAGH overload the Orks and force them to die

tough haven
#

Then you take away the cap and it explodes

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

still there

tough haven
#

Or how do daemons?

opaque coyote
#

and they still want to kill you

arctic talon
#

The pariah nexus literally separates your soul from your body

#

Slowly

#

The shadow in the warp is like a flood/storm

tough haven
arctic talon
#

The pariah nexus is like the water being completely still

#

There’s no wind

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

No anything

#

All you can do is sit around

opaque coyote
#

It's a presence in the warp that overpowers psychic communications

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

The shadow in the warps like getting stuff shoved down your throat

opaque coyote
#

Basically, if you tried to communicate outisde

#

All you get is

#

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

tough haven
#

The Astro path trying to call in says

snow fern
#

They said nobody can hear you scream in the void and the tyrannids took it as a challenge

tough haven
opaque coyote
tough haven
#

And daemons?

opaque coyote
#

Basically Daemons and Psykers use the same "warp server"

#

While Tyranids and Orks have their own separate one. With the Tyranids also DDOSing anybody they attack.

#

The Necrons are using a different network entirely, and aren't connected to the warp at all. Because they're all old.

#

And Blanks are unknown on what exactly they are.

#

But all we know is that they fuck up connections

tough haven
#

When someone is controlled by mindshackle scarabs, they’re still aware and conscious, yes?

arctic talon
#

Depends

tough haven
#

Secondly, why don’t the necrons just release mindshackles every time, there’s nothing the opponent can do about it, and not only are they no longer a threat, but they’re now an asset

#

I guess balance is the answer, like it so often is with necrons

#

Or maybe they just prefer to annihilate the unclean?

#

But in that case you can still kill then after

tough haven
#

Figured

storm jungle
#

Same reason why they dont just spam canopteks which are an infinite resource.

tough haven
#

But I suppose it’s fair

#

And necrons are stupidly proud

storm jungle
#

its a case of like

#

they'd absolutely do this to some random schmuck army in a codex example excerpt

#

but in a story they will just not do it

#

because (insert excuse here)

tough haven
#

They want to really crush the inferior life forms under their boot

#

Maybe it’s just boring to win so easily

#

Eternity of battle probably gets stale when you can just hit a button and win

storm jungle
#

Pretty much any excuse you can come up with yeah"

#

"muh honor"

#

"muh tomb is damaged"

#

"muh lord is senile"

tough haven
#

I still love necrons though

tough haven
#

Along with damage

#

Eternity under the river of time is gonna erode shit that’s probably important

storm jungle
#

yeah its like the only excuses you can use to make sure they dont kill the protags of a book lmao

tough haven
#

Eh, anyways they’re still fun

#

And they’d be boring if they just vaporized everyone

#

It would be just as annoying for them to just be a Mary sue faction

#

Gotta love excuses imperials get to win like “uhh um uh faith, they prayed hard enough or had a sororitas so the emperor himself gave the enemy the middle finger”

storm jungle
#

those have been only increasing with the Rift stuff

tough haven
#

Any rules you establish in a setting get smashed if they arbitrarily decide that they’ve reached the invisible faith threshold to win

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

its a game about toy soldiers

tough haven
#

I don’t mind that

#

The warp is invading reality so things you believe or think will happen a lot more likely

arctic talon
tough haven
#

But the miracles in the pariah nexus books are dumb

#

My only consolation is the characters find it as ridiculous as I do

#

Like I get it if it’s warp phenomena

#

But that literally can’t happen

arctic talon
#

When do we get chaos miracles

tough haven
#

Fr fr

arctic talon
#

actually thats a lie

tough haven
arctic talon
#

its already happened

#

The blood tithe stuff is absolutely just

#

"miracles of khorne"

tough haven
#

Cause if orks can’t have their wacky shit in the nexus, you can’t either

tough haven
opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

AAA

tough haven
#

It just sucks when they could have achieved what they want to fulfill plot in a way that’s less infuriating

storm jungle
#

they say some shit like the Faith powers arent from the Warp?

tough haven
#

Yeah

storm jungle
#

fucking mary sue ass

opaque coyote
rocky gale
#

Sororitas magical girl powers go brrrrr

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Or was that like

#

An actual thing the author confirmed

tough haven
storm jungle
tough haven
#

And the necrons are super confused

opaque coyote
storm jungle
tough haven
storm jungle
#

someone get this nerd out of my classroom

tough haven
#

#

But the classroom is a Nerds favoured terrain

paper haven
#

Sisters of Battle are my favorite magical girl.

tough haven
opaque coyote
tough haven
#

You can’t just say “nuh uh, cause actually my character can pray hard enough to negate your death field” sounding like a school kid type shit

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

Ok but those are fucking gods

opaque coyote
#

Emperor: "Lucius is dead. He got fucking killed by a rogue artillery shell. The guy didn't even know who he i-"

#

"NUH UH"

#

"Fuck you mean nuh uh"

#

Lucius revives from the guy who took pride in making the shells

tough haven
#

Again, if you wanted to do some magical girl shit in the nexus, that’s fine, just alter the timing or events surrounding it to fit

tough haven
#

And also chaos

#

It kinda defies rules or order by nature

paper haven
#

Lucius is billshit though

tough haven
#

It’s a poor example in comparison

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Lucius is meant to be bullshit

#

lol

#

Since Lucius wants to be dead

opaque coyote
#

I will substitute that reality with my own

tough haven
#

Same

arctic talon
#

he hates the life he lives at present

opaque coyote
#

And say that the SoB say that it's not part of the warp

#

Because they're biased as shit

arctic talon
#

The SoB are stupi

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

If Lucius wants to die, just become not fun or interesting or remarkable in any way to fight

paper haven
#

Has it ever been established what exactly gives SoB their powers?

tough haven
#

Then no pride will be taken

opaque coyote
#

They are supposed to be brain dented

tough haven
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

And warp fuckery

tough haven
#

Through the human psychic system

#

But it was established it didn’t work in a void

paper haven
#

If warp, then daemons.
If Emperor, then psyker

opaque coyote

I like enclaves

opaque coyote
#

I like big mechas

tough haven
#

Regular tau are smelly

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I just like the concept of a faction that's relatively new

Being increasingly horrified and confused by how batshit the 40k universe is

tough haven
#

Unfortunately enclaves is a non chaos rebel faction which GW doesn’t do

arctic talon
#

Tau are pretty fun

arctic talon
#

The Enclaves get a lot of lore

#

tbf

opaque coyote
#

In fact, Fire Warrior (the book not the video game)

arctic talon
#

They get more lore then any sept but the Tau Sept

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Shows that a lot

arctic talon
#

I'M GOING TO SHANK YOU

tough haven
#

Oh they did?

opaque coyote
#

How amazing

tough haven
#

I don’t pay too much attention bc I don’t buy stuff

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

When was that

arctic talon
#

Fucks sake

#

did anyone actually read

#

Arks of Omen Farsight

tough haven
#

Yeah it’s really not

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Yes

#

thats like

tough haven
#

Ah that’s why I don’t know about it

arctic talon
#

a year old

#

max

#

Farsight also got named dropped in the codex

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

with more Tau defecting

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Farsight having distrubing visions and intrusive thoughts

#

doesn't mean he's falling to khorne

tough haven
#

Cause I’m not buying it and it’s not on any of my places where I legally obtain content from

arctic talon
#

especially when he's like

#

suffering from severe exposure to daemons lol

tough haven
#

But I only obtain things from legal and official sources

#

As far as the inquisition (GW) is concerned

#

None of my legal and official sources have it though, it’s so strange

opaque coyote
#

I mean if you live in like

#

Australia or something I can understand why

#

Or like some random European country like uh

#

Idk

#

Belgium

tough haven
#

NA

#

An fuck it I’ll just buy it

#

Where can I get it from?

opaque coyote
#

Amazon

tough haven
#

No digital version?

rocky gale
#

You expect GW to make digital versions?

#

Dunno if the Arks of Omens books are the same, but if you buy a Codex there will be a QR code at the back which gives you the digital version on their App

#

i asked a guy about touhou lore and i now have 40 pings

outer wave
#

It's just cute girls doing cute things while also firing massive energy bolts at each other

crystal forum
#

which i am just finding out

outer wave
#

Like kinda does from what little I understand but it's not like you need to know it all

#

Basically Reimu is a miko shrine maiden that lives on the edge of the yokai world IIRC and she basically gets wrapped up into preventing the world from getting destroyed or worse by cute girls

#

There's also alot of fanon IIRC

crystal forum
#

it's okay i already had a guy explain it literally just now

tough haven
#

Put it in 40K terms

#

I think it’s one of the things where the story doesn’t matter, it’s just a excuse for the action

#

And where power scaling is so absurd it’s irrelevant

outer wave
# tough haven That is just a stream of nonsense

Basically The Emperor's soul is the master of the throne thats situated close to the warp, and is constantly wrapped up into preventing the destruction of the Imperium of Man by the chaos gods or xenos thanks to his custodes, grey knights, space marines, imperial guard, and sisters of battle

rocky gale
#

Reimu fumo

outer wave
#

Like the concept of history

#

Its very out there

rocky gale
#

Inferior to the more refined and elegant Rei Fumo

tough haven
outer wave
#

Yo that art is goated

tough haven
#

It’s like 40K if it was meant to sell marketable plushies instead of minis

outer wave
#

Yes

rocky gale
tough haven
#

If you swapped the two it would be funny

tough haven
outer wave
#

There's also the human maid that can stop time

#

Maid to a vampire girl who can control fate

#

Yeah this shit is wack

tough haven
#

Isn’t it also like only women

crystal forum
#

it is in fact only women

outer wave
#

It is only women, but one is androgynous enough that some artists draw her as a guy instead

tough haven
#

Well entertaining in a serious way I mean

crystal forum
#

i want to respect all forms of work

tough haven
#

That’s why I don’t enjoy the majority of anime

crystal forum
#

especially when it's so time intensive

outer wave
#

Yeah its definitely not that kind of entertainment for Touhou

tough haven
#

I just can’t enjoy it

outer wave
#

Its more "These characters are cute and throwing giant earth shattering energy blips at each other"

crystal forum
#

i cannot enjoy it either

outer wave
#

"They're now going to talk about friendship or some shit idk"

#

Music is goated tbh

crystal forum
#

the music is in fact banger

tough haven
#

So do new people in the touhou universe get created by a girl who’s power is to generate people or is there just a dark undertone that there will be no more people

crystal forum
#

the classic

tough haven
#

But most of them are immortal in essence so I guess it doesn’t matter

crystal forum
#

it sounds like shit at first

#

but it gets good

#

i guess that's this entire fandom

tough haven
#

I find most touhou music to be overrated after listening through all the stuff people post

crystal forum
#

i dont like "core" music much

#

it's too much

#

but sometimes i do

outer wave
#

The jazz covers are pretty good IMO

#

But Im also a jazz head

crystal forum
#

oh god

#

are you a jazz player though

outer wave
#

I used to be

crystal forum
#

fuck

outer wave
#

Played alto sax back in high school

#

I also did some jam sessions with friends outside of high school

crystal forum
#

im a rock brain who sometimes likes blues

#

the hillbilly cousin of jazz

outer wave
#

Blues is good though

crystal forum
#

it's not nearly as technical

outer wave
#

Nah its pretty simple progression

#

At least from my little understanding of blues

tough haven
#

I guess another thing that throws me off touhou is I just don’t like stereotypical cute anime girl personalities

crystal forum
#

i dont know jazz much but holy shit that stuff is way too much for me

tough haven
#

And that’s like all of them

crystal forum
#

blues is a lot more about feeling

#

idk how to describe it either

tough haven
#

It’s not technical for me to enjoy jazz though

#

Could never play it

outer wave
crystal forum
#

no just general jazz

#

i had some friends in college who were learning to play it

#

it's insane how hard it is

outer wave
#

Its definitely weird to get into especially if you're used to playing classical or straight eight style

#

I absolutely love listening to bebop and free form jazz

#

Like this shit is so fun to listen to

#

Jazz fusion has been my thing as of late

tough haven
#

Is there a range limit on recall for necrons once they die? I always see in media necrons dying and not being recalled to be reanimated at the tomb

arctic talon
#

No limit

#

As far as we know

tough haven
#

If they’re too destroyed does it not happen?

arctic talon
#

It can fail though

tough haven
#

Or is it just writers deciding leaving their metal bodies about looks cool

arctic talon
#

And even if it does fail the data is still transmitted back

tough haven
#

Just put into a new body?

arctic talon
#

Yep

tough haven
#

I know new necrons can’t be made of course, but since warriors are essentially just mindless drones built on protocol, why can’t nobles just duplicate their consciousness or make new ones to inhabit new bodies

#

Boom, everything but immortals and above is irreplaceable now

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

souls are a thing in 40k

#

so transferring consciousness isn't as simple

tough haven
#

Yeah but warriors don’t really have them

#

@arctic talon is the new farsight book worth buying for 40$

arctic talon
#

Arks of omen?

#

Not really imo

tough haven
#

It’s only 104 pages and probably only 40 of those are lore

arctic talon
#

Not unless you want to use the rules

#

It’s like 50/50

tough haven
#

And I’ll never use the rules

#

So what’s the lowdown on the lore portion

fallen plaza

how back we from the heresy?

A vanquisher on a malcador isn't so weird lel

fallen plaza

It's a file

crystal forum
#

also the heavy stubber is goofy

#

looks like some japanese shit

fallen plaza
#

That's how the heresy era stubbers look like

crystal forum
#

i can nerd about tanks if you guys nerd about fantasy

#

anyways multi melta and vanquisher

#

L combo

fallen plaza
#

Stubbers on a malcador is more my style aesthetically at least along with battle canon and demolisher

crystal forum
#

autocannons in malcador all the fucking way

#

it pains me that leman russes cant have them for literally no reason

arctic talon
#

Autocannons are great

crystal forum
#

yes they are

they're automatic

#

cannons

crystal forum

fallen plaza
#

It's a milltia thing

#

I think

#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

there's no reason to use it in 40k anyways since nobody will even fucking know what it is

fallen plaza
#

It's not that obscure

arctic talon

#

its actually not half bad lol

fallen plaza
#

It's one of the more beloved fw tanks

arctic talon
#

I'd say its the most loved FW tank for 40k

#

tbh

crystal forum
#

damn i didnt expect that

#

i thought it would be an artillery tank

arctic talon
#

The Armageddon basilisk is a meme/p2w

crystal forum
#

FW artillery is a batshit

#

like the minotaur

arctic talon
#

I find it funny it was just

#

objectively better

#

then the normal basilisk for a while

crystal forum
#

it also looks better

arctic talon
#

And then it got made into a faster version

#

for some reason

#

I'm not sure what GW was smoking when they did that

crystal forum
#

"pay us money to get good units"

arctic talon
#

no

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

because it was arguably worse lol

#

since it was squishier

#

Which is why I made the joke about wtf were they smoking lol

#

bcs its got more armor

#

then the normal basilisk

crystal forum
#

btw i did my promise

#

i opened te battle group box

#

but i didnt do anything

#

the bare minimum is accomplished

arctic talon
#

like which one looks faster lol

fallen plaza

It's a personnel carrier

what is volkite

fallen plaza
#

It's a deflagaration gun

crystal forum
#

what does that word mean papa

fallen plaza
#

Allegedly it means it wears down armor overtime

crystal forum
#

so like a melta

fallen plaza
#

Melta is more aggressive

#

Volkite is more firerate

crystal forum
#

so are volkite even that good

arctic talon
#

Yes

crystal forum
#

lore wise

arctic talon
#

Okay so

#

think of a voltkite as like

#

a spontanious combustion gun lol

arctic talon
#

its just very high maintenance + slow to make

#

so the mechanicus just hoards it for their own use

fallen plaza
#

Someday I might run a great crusade Loadout and run all volkite and malcadors

crystal forum
#

okay follow up question

#

what's a caliver

arctic talon
#

a rudamentry hand gun

crystal forum
#

i see plasma and volkite calivers

fallen plaza
#

It's an old form of caliber measurement

arctic talon
#

as in the literal definition of hand gun

crystal forum
#

oh

#

i thought it was like big gun

#

big plasma gun

arctic talon
#

Well it’s got a much higher fire rate then a normal plasma gun

fallen plaza
#

Culverin is also an old ass term for cannon

#

Which is the naming scheme the volkite culverin uses

arctic talon
#

Admech weapons kind of use like half old ass terms and half normal terms

fallen plaza
#

Heavily depends if the lore writer wants to do extra work that day of writing a weapon idea

#

Like volkite serpenta

#

Serpenta means large snake

#

And it's a pistol lol

arctic talon
#

There’s also a radium and phosphor serpenta

#

Lol

#

Along with being a radium pistol and phosphor pistol

crystal forum
#

fucking arquebus is the wildest one

#

like why of all weapons

#

one of the earliest forms of firearms

arctic talon
#

It’s not an arquebus but it gets called one lol

#

Shits got a magazine

crystal forum
#

i guess it's because of how it's fired on a stand

#

like how arquebus were commonly used

#

also extremely french name

arctic talon
#

Makes sense

#

The stand isn’t even required lore wise

crystal forum
#

i keep saying it in french in my head

arctic talon
#

Skitarii can hipfire the damn thing

fallen plaza
#

ArqueBUS

#

BUS.....

arctic talon
#

Arquebus forever has a weird connotation in my head

#

Because of armored core 6

fallen plaza
#

Would you care to explain

arctic talon
fallen plaza
#

Oh

arctic talon
#

And one of the AC pilots part of their elite team goes on an entire deranged rant

And screams “I Am Arquebus” as he dies lol

Are the arbites actually well trained and prepared to deal with the monsters they face or are they woefully under equipped and unprepared?

#

Like yeah usually it’s riots and brawls and stuff but like if a heretic rebellion starts do they have any chance of stopping it?

fallen plaza

Police brutality coming up!

crisp heath

Actually surprised ngl

opaque coyote
#

I mean they have access to bolters

#

And shotguns

fallen plaza
#

Again

#

It depends world to world

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

They're basically state police

#

The IDF are the local defense force

#

And the Imperial Guard is the army

fallen plaza
#

I'm talking training

#

Not law

arctic talon
#

Arbites are feds

#

Their training is relatively standardized

opaque coyote
#

Basically their role is to prevent the planet from rebelling

#

And enforcing IMPERIUM law

#

The local law is left to the IDF and below

#

Essentially, they shoot/beat anybody who dares go against the Lex Imperialis

#

For some reason

#

If the Arbites aren't allowed to simply shoot them

#

Or if local enforcement can't shoot them

#

They have to go over the Lex Imperialis

#

Which can take centuries, with the judge's apprentices taking over the case after they dir

#

After millenia, once a ruling is made

#

Justice is handed out to the descendants of the accused

#

Yes that means that occasionally somebody could just be walking around

#

When suddenly an Arbites ship lands nearby

#

And a Judge just opens fire on them and their family

#

"justice served!"

#

And walk away

crystal forum
#

they are the last like of defence in a world that is turning chaos

#

so they just cause as much chaos as possible to the "winning" chaos invasion until they're wiped out or rarely saved in time by the imperium

#

like every time you'll read about arbites doing stuff on a large scale it's because the planet is already fucked to begin with

#

in darktide if it wasn't for the inquisition there's no way the local arbites would have dealt with the issue by themselves

opaque coyote
#

If the SWAT is all that's remaining

#

Then yes, the planet is fucked
