[opaque coyote]

They're just heralding the Emperor to come and save the planet

...

[raven stone]

The reasons do vary - some think they are still locals, others are “preserving the food”

[opaque coyote]

The mysteriously 4 armed emperor

[dusk patrol]

The cult often attacks before the fleet arrives so not always, it just depends

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[wraith quartz]

In summary:

[dusk patrol]

There’s not much consistency for how they can operate

[storm jungle]

I mean there is

[dusk patrol]

There’s a lot of variance

[storm jungle]

what they do most of the time is pretty standard

like almost 90% of the time

[opaque coyote]

Yeah and I think some GSC willingly jump into the vats in the end.

While sometimes they finally realized that they were puppets and try to run.

Only to become food anywahs

[storm jungle]

or even higher tbh

[dusk patrol]

We have no metric for how often they do that, or how often they get found or whatever

[storm jungle]

Its not really about metrics to begin with

[raven stone]

Talking of which @wraith quartz a 3rd sign of GC infestation is their cult symbology; any obsessions over “Four armed”, “Star [Children/messenger]”, or distinctly ‘un-double-headed-eagle-like symbols of devotion’ could hint at a GC presence.

[storm jungle]

we got meticulously explained events of it on like 3 codexes at this point

[dusk patrol]

We see them try to take over the world well before the fleet arrives plenty

Infinite and the Divine is a good example

[storm jungle]

...yeah because thats literally what the uprising angle is about

thats the standard

[dusk patrol]

Sometimes they wait until the fleet is actually there

Sometimes they fuck it all up and lose

[opaque coyote]

Either way

ONOMNOMNOMNI

[storm jungle]

The steps are always summoning the fleet and causing sabotages before beginning the uprising about more or less when the fleet is almost near

[opaque coyote]

L + ratio + no bitches + you worship a fucking BEETLE

[dusk patrol]

Sometimes the fleet never gets there and it’s awkward

[raven stone]

Oh and also.
As per that one novel I did read.
GC genetic level brainwashing can persist even after becoming Skitarii
Being cyborg will NOT save you.

[storm jungle]

Day of Ascension, based

[storm jungle]

if it has meat its a goner

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I kinda want that to happen

Like due to some random circumstance, the GSC fully takes over. But the fleet can't come because of

Idk a warp storm or something

[storm jungle]

They'd just summon another fleet

invasion is more or less inevitable

it will just take longer

[leaden pilot]

What about being lobotomized and becoming a servitor?

[dusk patrol]

Or they just get wiped out because they blew their load early

[opaque coyote]

They just keep summoning fleets but they all get driven away for random reasons lmao

[celest dome]

Didn't becoming a SM sorta helped push through it ?

[opaque coyote]

[dusk patrol]

Fleets can’t always arrive

[storm jungle]

Or they succeed in the uprising and take over the planet.

again, variables lol

[dusk patrol]

And then get wiped out because they blew their load early

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah and Necromunda just casually have GSC everywhere

[storm jungle]

To a degree,

[opaque coyote]

But due to the fact that Necromunda is

Necromunda

[raven stone]

Probably you get a highly ineffective thrall to the Hivemind, I suspect.

[celest dome]

GSCultist now having to discover the joy of bureaucracy

[opaque coyote]

They just become like

[storm jungle]

the one with that chapter is super weird

[opaque coyote]

Another gang

Which is kinda funny

[dusk patrol]

Not everywhere but they have some

It’s mostly consigned to one hive

And they’re weird

The hive fleet don’t want them

[celest dome]

They are in Secondus but also a normal Hive gang scheme

[storm jungle]

They are radiation infested so yeah

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah Jimbob? Yeah he's pretty nice. Don't accept any food from them tho"

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/how-come-dont-want-me-man-fresh-prince-gif-14767509

[opaque coyote]

[celest dome]

Like how there are Chaos Gangers

[raven stone]

I mean, Space Marines probably have tight genetic screening for recruits, and Genestealer don’t tend to infect Marines due to…well, them not really reproducing.

[storm jungle]

Yeah the one where the chapter serfs get taken over by GSC though is weird

[celest dome]

Infected kids who got picked for SM

[opaque coyote]

The place is literally such a hellhole that the Tyranids are like

"Naaah that biomass probably has fucking radiation in it"

[storm jungle]

they'd notice it during the screening process and eliminate em anyway

[dusk patrol]

They’re all dead now so it doesn’t matter anyways

[storm jungle]

and the marine in charge would probably get slapped

[storm jungle]

I mean it happened

so it kinda does

[opaque coyote]

"YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE FUCKING RIDGES ON THEIR HEAD???"

[storm jungle]

especially from something we've never seen before lol

[raven stone]

Although THAT having been said. Chapter Serfs are normal humans, so biologically, they are, indeed, fair game.
But yea, it then boils down to how competent said Chapter is XD

[dusk patrol]

Then they clapped them all so it wouldn’t be explored further lol

[wraith quartz]

GSC, is a result of a Nid genome infecting the human genome. Having a unified mind and goal makes themselves dangerous. And given that they be ANYWHERE makes them nye-undetecable, and has very "natural influence". Though there are various species they can infect, humans are the most subjective species. The only downside compared to other forms of internal revolt, is that it takes time to build a large enough cult.

[dusk patrol]

I prefer the Alpha Legion method anyways that one worked better

[storm jungle]

And it was still confirmed as a possibility so it doesnt matter lol

whiny ahh

[storm jungle]

Pretty much yeah

[raven stone]

That is pretty much it in a nutshell, yes.

[storm jungle]

any other detail you want you can just read up on lexi

they do a pretty good breakdown of it

[opaque coyote]

Sleeper agent moment

[wraith quartz]

Ok

[dusk patrol]

They basically just indoctrinated all their potential aspirants over decades and decades

And then activated them and took over most of the chapter

[wraith quartz]

That's all for this week's recap, thank you. Gtgt work now

[celest dome]

In fairness, those GS infected are the way to eradicate Tyr

[outer wave]

Can I say how much I dont like the GSC faction symbols? They're almost all the same

[opaque coyote]

An aspirant opens their phone and just see

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Well they’re not called Genestealer Artists

[celest dome]

Not just human, but for the rest yes

[outer wave]

Im sorry, but when its the same snake with sharp tail plus some weird gimmick that lends itself to the theme of the subfaction, its kinda meh

[raven stone]

From a lore perspective I agree if only because you would think the Imperium would recognise the repeated obsession with certain design elements.
But from an art perspective I think they are fine.

[outer wave]

Fair

[young pecan]

Both of these are actually really cool, I quite like the concept of these

[storm jungle]

Yeah they are suppose to more or less just be genetic memory among other stuff cultists cna recognize

[dusk patrol]

Twisted Helix is probably my favorite

Also probably the most unique cult

[young pecan]

I think fighting the enforcers would be pretty scary

[opaque coyote]

(alpha legion indoctrination trust)

[storm jungle]

also whoever made this symbol legit needs to get shot

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

like what the fuck am i looking at

[fallen plaza]

Genius

This is brilliant

[opaque coyote]

I think it's supposed to parallel an ouroboros

[storm jungle]

I KNOW WHAT IT IS

[opaque coyote]

But replace snek with bug

[storm jungle]

IM SAYING IT LOOKS TERRIBLE

[leaden pilot]

At first I was like it's not that bad, but then i looked closer

[storm jungle]

💀

[dusk patrol]

It’s supposed to parallel your brain after one too many

[opaque coyote]

I think it's the middle part

[storm jungle]

others are definitely better

[raven stone]

I like Cult of Four Armed myself, if only because (from a writing perspective) their mining gimmick actually links to the theme of the cult in a more unique way (much like how Chaos cults have Warp as their thematic gimmick)

[winter vessel]

i like the first to the left

[opaque coyote]

I like the bladed cog

[dusk patrol]

“That’s how you do a GSC symbol”

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Although twisted helix is a pretty dumb name so it kinda cancels out

[storm jungle]

okay Iron Hands

[raven stone]

I want to like the Twisted Helix lore, but…it just feels a bit off for some reason. Like I can see their thing work and how it works, but…I don’t know.
Like, what is an infected person on a planet without a Genestealer gonna do!?

[forest orbit]

You literally asked for that one buddy

[dusk patrol]

Don’t wanna hear an Eldar fan talking about dumb names for stuff

[storm jungle]

"eldar fan"

[celest dome]

Aren't all those Imperial name for Eldar units ?

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Warp Spiders at least are cool

[dusk patrol]

They use them in their books

[storm jungle]

id like return the words back but i legit cannot bother going through the iron hands wikipedia page

"gorgon this"

"gorgon that"

"gorgon deez nuts"

[forest orbit]

LOL

at least basic isnt too bad 💀

[dusk patrol]

“Phoenix this, Fall that”

[winter vessel]

"GORG ON THIS DI--" connection interrupted

[dusk patrol]

“She who splurges”

[raven stone]

But…that is just how Space Marine name things

In a bad way

[storm jungle]

Pretty much

[raven stone]

Like Wolf and Blood.

[storm jungle]

do not

fucking start

i will scream

[dusk patrol]

All 40k names are stupid, they all sound dumb as fuck

[storm jungle]

I mean not really

[crystal forum]

wolves are cool

[storm jungle]

some sound worse than others

[dusk patrol]

Try talking to anyone normal about any 40k thing

[leaden pilot]

Ah yes, the man named Iron Hands (but in Latin), with Iron Hands, leading the Iron Hands chapter

[dusk patrol]

They’ll all look at you weird

[forest orbit]

My guy taking the mediator stance in everything on g

My lord how could the Chapter of Cranium Obliterators fall to chaos and rebrand themselves as Skullfuckers

[fallen plaza]

Theres sometimes the word medusa

Murder Class Cruisers…

[storm jungle]

AAAA-

[winter vessel]

The Hand Holders to the Reach Arounders

[storm jungle]

attack him btw i didnt say anything

[storm jungle]

[crystal forum]

do you're telling me the night lords are the bad guys?

[dusk patrol]

Harlequin Troupes all sound like a place you buy overpriced supplements and herbal tea

[storm jungle]

and space marine chapters sound like bad cancelled action toys

more at 11

[raven stone]

Don’t forget World Eaters…

[dusk patrol]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Flesh Tearers too tbh

[dusk patrol]

that was my point stop agreeing with me and acting like you weren’t reeee

[crystal forum]

most could be porn actor stage names

crimson fists

[storm jungle]

YOU LITERALLY STARTED IT

[dusk patrol]

AND ILL END IT

[fallen plaza]

Dilara moment, um i actually dont agree with you (agrees with you)

[dusk patrol]

[winter vessel]

There's a funny little short from Vox in the Void about a Chaos Space Marine getting confused with Loyalist and Traitor Astartes names

[storm jungle]

Zimmer moment when he needs to be a smartass in any convo and become Gríma Wormtongue in every argument

also inb4 that one emote react

[dusk patrol]

Sush I need a hype man too

[leaden pilot]

When talking about dumb 40k names we can't forget about Land('s) Raider

[winter vessel]

Dilara with a white Beard speaking to Zimmer: "Keep your forked tongue behind your TEETH!"

[storm jungle]

every time

[storm jungle]

I hate when people try to be a smartass about that

like the issue is they attempted to explain it

[fallen plaza]

😀

[storm jungle]

thats what makes it bad lol

[dusk patrol]

The name was already pretty basic, then they made it a meme

[leaden pilot]

For me it's so bad it's funny

[dusk patrol]

It’s amusing

[opaque coyote]

Terror-Screamer is funny

I said it before and I will say it again

A guardsman definitely named that buoform

[winter vessel]

sounds like another word for Karen

[dusk patrol]

I’m more impressed at GWs ability to keep coming up with names for stuff

[snow fern]

I can't believe Evil Mcbadguy fell to Chaos

[raven stone]

I though it was alright, re:The name of the “Land Raider”
If only because I was around to have read the index that came out of the White Dwarf way back when, when they already decided the name of the Magos Arkhan Land way before the HH novels.

[dusk patrol]

There’s so many fucking things to name

[raven stone]

Now that having been said.
Why didn’t the BL authors explain it otherwise? Fuck knows lol.

[opaque coyote]

Posting this again bc it applies

[fallen plaza]

Theres a thing thats not mentioned a lot and thats the fact landraiders are amphibious

Which is always thought was funny

[winter vessel]

I was about to say this man was born without elbows until i saw his left arm

[dusk patrol]

Because someone thought it was funny so they made it lore

[dusk patrol]

Stop bullying him

[opaque coyote]

It's a chaos mutation don't fault him

[snow fern]

Damn you got meme templated, it's joever

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

You guys do the same smh

[celest dome]

Do you have memes about everyone here or just your favourites ?

[storm jungle]

Nah I did that in like 2m

[raven stone]

Especially to Kurze, Perturabo, Mortarion and Angron.
Slightly less so for the other Traitor Primarchs that at least attempted to be nice (and Fulgrim got bodyjacked)

[storm jungle]

alright now if you excuse me i gotta watch the cinematic masterpiece that is Piranha 3D

[celest dome]

Making people jealous I see

[winter vessel]

Giving him the business

[leaden pilot]

It's not really a GW character, but a hero from Toral Warhammer that's named Killgore Slaymaim
Can't believe he's evil

[fallen plaza]

The whole emote thing isnt even a goddamn bit

I like to use it because of how ambiguous it is

[dusk patrol]

Fantasy had much simpler names all told

[storm jungle]

SIMPLER NAMES?

Okay i gotta do one more post before i leave

[fallen plaza]

Grimnare grimlock

[celest dome]

They had more baller names

[dusk patrol]

Yeah it’s just like Grimbald Orphan Killer

[storm jungle]

All of you shut up

im gonna destroy you with this character

[celest dome]

Harrald 'Harry the Hammer' Hammerstorm my beloved

[opaque coyote]

Also Sanguinius, despite genuinely being cool, looks quite terrifying.

I mean his armor has fucking red eyes on it

[crystal forum]

why are astartes flyers so fucking expensive

[fallen plaza]

Because resin

[crystal forum]

like the "basic" one is like 1k

[fallen plaza]

Insane money

[raven stone]

Because they are there to tempt the ones who know the lore of it. Mostly.
Except the flyers which are actually useful.

[rose thorn]

On mobile, too many ads to see

[leaden pilot]

fandom on mobile is a hellscape

[crystal forum]

@dusk patrol how do iron hands view the imperial guard

actually that's a dumb question during the HH they all thought differently

[dusk patrol]

Depends, a lot of times they’re just tools to use but some Iron Hands respect them more

Generally though IH heavily believe in everyone has a role and job and value, and you do that to the best you can

Your best is the minimum

It’s expected, and it’s not something to praise someone for.

[crystal forum]

so they probably respect solar auxilia for being the best

[dusk patrol]

They’d probably prefer to work with them yeah

[crystal forum]

how would they react to having a shitty rag tag militia attached to them

[dusk patrol]

They were known to be brutal to work with but if you could hang you had their respect

[dusk patrol]

Doesn’t matter if you can do your job

Literally the only thing they care about

Their standards are brutal and hard to live up to but if you can then they’re fine with you

[crystal forum]

interesting

did they have close ties to the mechanicum during the HH

[fallen plaza]

Everyone does 😁

[rose thorn]

The warhammer fantasy subtlety all of the fans keep telling me about I see

[dusk patrol]

A common tactic they used during the GC for stronger enemy forces was called the Storm and the Hammer, where they sent infantry and tempting lighter targets out first to draw the enemy out and make them appear to be vulnerable. This infantry then had to weather the Storm. Then, when the enemy was drawn out, they’d drop the Hammer, which was a massive vehicle assault typically.

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

[crystal forum]

damn it use your nitro powers 😤

[dusk patrol]

They worked closely with them and the Terrawatt Clans on Terra

And others

Ferrus and the IH were often on the forefront of development for new vehicles and gear

[fallen plaza]

Ferrus was partially responsible for the achilles if i remember

[crystal forum]

so since they're so fragmented after the istvan massacre it's reasonable that i could make a clan that didn't give a shit about anything other than its own goals?

[dusk patrol]

Yeah he made a number of vehicles and armor systems

Indomitus armor was developed by him largely

Also the Ordo Sinister weapons

[fallen plaza]

I wasn’t aware of the ordo sinister one

[dusk patrol]

Yeah you could

Separate little group

Basically how a lot of them operated after they got cut off

Kardozia and Autek Mor being two main examples but there’s a lot of others

Lots of guerrilla warfare stuff

Hitting vulnerable traitor worlds and cutting off supplies

[crystal forum]

yeah the dread guy who just went around doing supply attacks

i could do that

[dusk patrol]

Also some became Blackshields

And just did their own thing

[fallen plaza]

Iron hands blackshields are fun

[raven stone]

HH Iron Hands had their own Grav weapons too

[fallen plaza]

Dont use there rules though

[dusk patrol]

Yeah IH had and still have a lot of grav weapons

[fallen plaza]

Blackshields weewee

[crystal forum]

yeah i ordered extra grav guns so i can equip them on most units lol

[fallen plaza]

HH grav guns are just cooler looking in general

[dusk patrol]

Make sure to get some dreads too

Not too many to become OP but

[raven stone]

If it wasn’t for the fact that I am not rich enough to start HH, blackshields with nothing but two Panopolies of Old Night sounded fun

[fallen plaza]

Just one dread

[dusk patrol]

Dreads are good and IHs make them even better

[crystal forum]

my kit comes with the weird artillery dread

[fallen plaza]

Maybe one levi and one contemptor but nothing else

[dusk patrol]

Generally 1 dread for every 1000 points is the rule

[crystal forum]

i should get a iron father

[fallen plaza]

You’ll get kicked in the nuts if you take more than 2

[dusk patrol]

I wouldn’t recommend the Iron Father model

[crystal forum]

oh

[dusk patrol]

Use a proxy

It’s very small

And old

[fallen plaza]

The iron father model is good for bash parts

[crystal forum]

which tanks are worth the money

and which arent

[fallen plaza]

Predators

[dusk patrol]

Uh, I think the Kratos is pretty good

[fallen plaza]

Vindicator laser destroyer

[crystal forum]

which predator? support or normal?

[fallen plaza]

Most preds are good

And uh

[dusk patrol]

Honestly don’t get tooo hung up on meta stuff too

Heresy is easy to break

[fallen plaza]

Sicaran

[crystal forum]

i kinda want the sicaran

because autocannons

[storm jungle]

the superior route is "Model looks cool. Im gonna add it to my army"

[fallen plaza]

If you want some fun stuff try and kitbash some iron hands castraferrum dreads

[dusk patrol]

Its a game where both players gotta work together to have fun games

And not just spam dreads

[fallen plaza]

Box dreads in hh are decent

And are balanced

[dusk patrol]

Mfw I love dreads but they’re OP as fuck so I don’t want to have too many

[raven stone]

Eventually one comes to realise the weakest part of Games Workshop…is their rules department.

[dusk patrol]

Contemptors and slightly less extent Levi’s are insane rn

[crystal forum]

im definitely getting at least one with a iron hand front thing

sadly the iron hand mkIII stuff is out of stock

[dusk patrol]

But the good news is your Iron Hands so you can have a dual grav moritat to fuck with those guys

[crystal forum]

yay

[fallen plaza]

Dont forget the rapier graviton

That will rape dreads

[crystal forum]

leviathan dreads look like peak meme material

[dusk patrol]

I would recommend definitely getting Moritat

Also the rapier yeah

[dusk patrol]

They’re fun

[crystal forum]

so damn big

[fallen plaza]

Also autocannons

So theres that

[dusk patrol]

Four fucking autocannons

Or eight

[crystal forum]

this pose is so fucking good

god that's terrifying

[dusk patrol]

Yeah they’re a really well done model

[fallen plaza]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/832662892134268948/1267630600613789811/20240729_195034.jpg?ex=66c08ebe&is=66bf3d3e&hm=31f9b726b8b2f35dbaba073be8cfaad3c3396daf5ab305e4c7968dba278beef1&

[dusk patrol]

This is how I’m gonna try to do my Deredeo eventually

More dynamic pose

[raven stone]

(Maybe I should paint one up in Hulkbuster colours, and add the BA Dread Jetpack to it…)

[fallen plaza]

Can the new kit even pose that far

[dusk patrol]

I believe that is the new kit

[fallen plaza]

Nah thats resin

[dusk patrol]

Either way it’s not easy to do but it’s worth

[crystal forum]

i didnt even know you could pose a deredeo that well

it just looks stiff normally

[dusk patrol]

It’s a lot of extra work

[fallen plaza]

I dont hate its stiffness

Mainly because the guns carry its looks

Also

Do deredeos share legs with the levi?

[dusk patrol]

The IH scheme definitely lends itself better to the Deredeo imo

[fallen plaza]

Mmmh

Depends

[crystal forum]

kind of a goofy looking dread tbh

[dusk patrol]

But I’ve seen a lot of them done well

It is a bit

That’s why I wanna mix it up a bit with mine

Make it more dynamic

[fallen plaza]

This one in particular im not a fan, too black for my taste

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-you-mean-by-that-druski-gif-20560325

[crystal forum]

will GW ever release a melee version lol

[dusk patrol]

Nah that’s for the others

[crystal forum]

only the anvilus configuration is available

[fallen plaza]

There technically is?

The old hh1 had a adamantic pavase

[crystal forum]

so how often do HH rules change

should i bother buying rulebooks

[dusk patrol]

Often but not huge changes

[dusk patrol]

I’d recommend it

There’s a lot to it

[fallen plaza]

The model itself was never released

But the rules exist

And its basically a dome shield around it

[crystal forum]

what's that on top

oh

like a mobile shield?

[dusk patrol]

It’s not hard to kitbash something

[fallen plaza]

Yeah kitbashes of it are common

I dunno why you would do it though kek

[dusk patrol]

That being said how much it’s worth vs just bringing the missiles

Deredeo typically isn’t in need a shield in my experience if you’re playing right

[crystal forum]

are the missiles basically the same as manticore ones

[fallen plaza]

Ive heard people suggest using it to shield your primarch guards

[dusk patrol]

Not a bad idea

[fallen plaza]

Which i dunno

[dusk patrol]

Tbh it can probably work well

[fallen plaza]

It kinda sounds fun too

[crystal forum]

so the shield extends outside the model?

[fallen plaza]

There is a radius to the shield

So yeah

[crystal forum]

alright

and i guess when it comes to knights i'll just print lol

no way im paying that much

[fallen plaza]

Did i sent you a knight file?

No, no i did not

@crystal forum check dms

[crystal forum]

i already got knight files

but thx

[fallen plaza]

Vespids never looked so cool

[celest dome]

I'm not really a fan of them using normal Tau guns tbh

[green loom]

I think they switched artists

Alas no more Miguel KT

[wintry scarab]

I just wish some of the Vespids had a bit more armour on them. I know they are supposed to look like the older models, but still.

[spring cairn]

they like to fight with their cocks out

[wintry scarab]

They just like me fr fr

[rose thorn]

I now am stuck with the thought that you have to give space wolves dog treats and take them for walkies

[dense dawn]

What race is that

[green loom]

Humans?

(it's the Vespid, a Tau auxiliary)

[dense dawn]

Oh should've guessed

Fucking tau

[arctic talon]

It looks like an updated version of their old gun

[plush mason]

so Rinda isnt dead

[celest dome]

But it is Tau looking tech. Unlike how the Kroot who while also having certain Tau gun also.have their own

[arctic talon]

They’ve always had tau looking guns

[celest dome]

Which I somewhat dislike

[crystal forum]

GW on their way to add every minor xeno to killteam before they'll add dark mechanicum

yo

[crisp heath]

Funny joke but

I think the EDF would fit amazingly well in 40k

Hilarious firepower and dying in droves against aliens and bugs

[storm jungle]

not wrong...

[crystal forum]

which chapter has the most dreadnoughts

and which has the most terminators

[arctic talon]

Most terminators is Dark Angels, most dreads is probably the iron hands. Assuming this is about 40K

[wintry scarab]

man i hope the new vespids at least have the chest armour. The more i look at them the more i think just having a helmet looks a bit goofy.

[crystal forum]

lexicon says iron hands have less dreads than most founding chapters because of istvan

[arctic talon]

That’s about terminator armor

Tactical dreadnought armor

[crystal forum]

oh

fuck

[storm jungle]

Me when GW naming schemes

[rose thorn]

Iron hands….

Iron warriors

Iron hawks

[storm jungle]

noooo we had this incident just a few hours ago

Iron lords

[rose thorn]

My favorite is fire hawks and fire falcons and fire falcons and fire hawks

All 4 get confused with each other by writers and fans

[storm jungle]

lmfao christ

its deffo not as bad as blood angel successor names but its close

[dusk patrol]

That’s older lore also

They hide their power level though

Intentionally don’t deploy their full complement of vehicles, termies, and dreads unless they really need to

Medusa has most of their stuff generally because its position

[plush mason]

doesnt it also have a giant fuck off orbital manufactory ring from the DAOT?

[dusk patrol]

The Telstarax has only recently been reactivated as a defense network

But they do have some huge forges on world

Gorgons Forge being the biggest

It’s got a pretty wild description

[crystal forum]

just played darktide for the first time in a while

the bolt pistol

it does not disappoint

thank you fatshark for letting me live out my guardsman fantasy

[storm jungle]

it has some aiming issues but we're trying to fix it

[storm jungle]

use the special bash button on someone and press fire at the same time

[crystal forum]

AAAAAAA

holy shit the amount of swagger

[crisp heath]

Did the massive warp scar that cut the galaxy in half stop in this galaxy?

Or does it keep on going outside the galaxy?

I think it’d funny if it kept on going and a hive fleet was just lost in the warp

[arctic talon]

It stopped at the edges of the galaxy

[crystal forum]

what

[storm jungle]

its a bug

also it literally says what it does

[crystal forum]

is this gun not supposed to have that blessing

or something

[storm jungle]

Nah

just a text bug

[crystal forum]

ah ok

[storm jungle]

its a bolter so shattering impact is like a go-to

[crystal forum]

idk i havent played in ages

revolver is still extremely good i see

[storm jungle]

give em the revolver ocelot treatment

[spare osprey]

honestly wonder how many dreads the DA have. one of the big things they don't speak much on outside of the heresy

[arctic talon]

Rip to the two really old venerable dreads

They had

[spare osprey]

oh man yeah

[arctic talon]

Died beating Vashtorr’s ass

[spare osprey]

died defending the gate

[arctic talon]

[spare osprey]

good guys

[spare osprey]

i mean but in heresy they just outright say they were the only legion capable of throwing like

30 fuckin Levithan dreads

[arctic talon]

Yeah

I’d assume the scouring and the fallen thing

Were not kind to their numbers

[spare osprey]

defo

but even then

blows me away how few successors have been shown

i mean damn GW

one of the biggest legions and what

only 3 or 4 2nd founding lads?

[spare osprey]

speakin of the fallen

and dreads

they might have one of my favorites

Angel of Blades baby

cause ya gotta give a dread an eight pack

[arctic talon]

Hellbrute moment

[paper haven]

Are there any instances of a chaos dreadnaught effectively getting his body back through earning the favor of the chaos gods?

[crystal forum]

that would kinda suck since being in a dreadnought only has advantages

[paper haven]

You mean aside from the sensory deprivation and loss of sanity?

[rose thorn]

WTF IS THIS

IS HE OKAY

this is concerning to look at

[queen laurel]

he is just milking this Dawn of war tabletop thingy

[rose thorn]

AHAHAHAH it still has the blood Raven picture on the bunker

[queen laurel]

man he should have stopped on at least on the second one

[arctic talon]

They’d just be ascended to a prince or spawned at that point tbh

[outer wave]

What is that title

What does that mean

[paper haven]

I saw this. He remade the dawn of war video game ruleset for tabletop playing.

I thought it was pretty cool

[outer wave]

Ohhh okay okay

I thought this was a mod to turn the models in DoW into actual models

God I hate that thumbnail

[paper haven]

Granted the thumbnails are not great, but the actual videos are very clever. At least, I think so.

old mene

but still

fuck astartes

[paper haven]

Don't guardsmen have a significantly higher chance of falling to chaos?

[crystal forum]

no because they'll die too quickly

and chaos doesn't give enough of a shit to convince a bunch of regular humans

if guardsmen go chaos it's because they're pissed off at the imperium which is equally if not more likely to happen to astartes

only difference is guardsmen get shot in the head by a commissar if that happens, astartes get to become renegades and soyjack their way into chaos territory

[open pumice]

I mean not really?

[open pumice]

this is literally chaos' entire gimmick
like
99.99% of chaos worshipers are mortals, not astartes

Chaos and their agents spend most of their energy converting large swaths of humanity into chaos cultists, not enough to implode most of the imperium, but almsot every imperial world has at least one cult to each god on it. This is not because they are pissed off at the imperium, but because they have fallen to the lies of chaos.

Most chaos uprisings are supported by chaos guard regiments, who also turned for the lies of chaos, and not because they dislike the imperium

Most citizens who just dislike the imperium don't turn to chaos, they just go renegade

it's not worth it to convert one human sure, but they never go for just one human

[open pumice]

depends on how you look at it

thousands of guard regiments fall to chaos for every one space marine chapter that goes renegade

but there are tens of thousands, if not (very easily) more guard regiments to every one space marine chapter

but there are a smaller percentage of space marine chapters that go renegade than the percentage of guard regiments that fall to chaos

but there are more individual space marines who fall to chaos that individual guardsmen, squads, or platoons

and the line of reasoning goes on

[open pumice]

also
in this instance it's the function of the chapters reclusiam to do the work of a commisar and prevent astartes from going rogue

but a regiment has like, one commisar tops, who will get shot in the cranium before he can take out the entire regiment.

Same thing for chaplains, but there are something like 20 of them per chapter, and they are some of the msot veteran and skilled space marines.

[opaque coyote]

So apparently there existed a unit for Orks simply called "Tinboys". They're an old hammer unit so they don't really exist anymore.

Basically they make a robot that looks somewhat closely to the enemy. So that they're allowed to get closer and blow up.

The reason I am saying this is because somebody made a cool design for one.

By u/Wolfdawgartcorner

[open pumice]

least based ork strat

[open pumice]

also sorry for the tripple ping it's like 1 am and I forgot to condense my messages

[celest dome]

Used to be a couple of models. SM, Necron, Eldar and Squat iirc

[opaque coyote]

I fucking love how the Tinboy in the art has a crossed out Tau symbol with

"BAD ZENOS" written on it

[opaque coyote]

They look fucking hilarious

I love em

Especially the Marine one

The Eldar one is a close second tho

[waxen geyser]

where can i find all the data logs from darktide
i cant find a list on the wiki

[open pumice]

their old website used to have them but IDK anymore

their new website or forums probably

[opaque coyote]

Also I am sharing this art since it goes HARD.

Artist is Benjamin NJAMA

[fallen plaza]

Veiny balls

[sour hornet]

Yeah. Life sucks 30 trillion times more for mortals, so they're easier to corrupt.

[fallen plaza]

Especially cadians

[sour hornet]

Idk, cadians are usually too low-iq to take the chaospill

they got purple eyes from it and all that

[rocky gale]

Zorpazorp drank deeply of the cup of GW and has succumbed to madness

[shell mason]

sup ya'll

how is the lore today

[fallen plaza]

I dunno

Google it

[storm jungle]

rotting I hope

[paper haven]

Not sure how often Cadians turn traitor, though I would imagine that they're significantly more motivated than the average imperial guard conscript.

[storm jungle]

They are but they arent unbreakable yeah

even Cutthroat in game loses spirit sometimes

[fallen plaza]

They crumble at the last moment, just like cadia.

[celest dome]

When are we not ?

[queen laurel]

when we are making fun of dumb people?

[celest dome]

True

But aren't we also dumb people

[fallen plaza]

Not me

[queen laurel]

yes

[fallen plaza]

I am smat

I mean smart

[celest dome]

Aren't you a bot

[fallen plaza]

Who is the fiend that keeps saying that

I am no bot

[storm jungle]

adding this to my list of ogryn names for writing purposes

they are surprisingly hard to come up with lol

[queen laurel]

change the a to u

[fallen plaza]

https://youtu.be/ifaoKZfQpdA?si=vxHU3mznBQ_xIrre

[queen laurel]

i think this is the reason that they think of you as a bot

[fallen plaza]

Being disagreeable is considered bot behavior? Or are you just malding? 😁

[queen laurel]

you agree with eternal reward like every day that's basically like having the emotional capacity of a servitor

[fallen plaza]

Oh, well i guess i was right.

[open pumice]

IIRC, and I could be very wrong, but aren't the blood pact ex cadians?

Either way it's not frequent, but they also don't tend to live very long, especially if they are, or rather were, stationed on cadia

[celest dome]

Don't think so

[fallen plaza]

The galaxy is bigger than cadians

[celest dome]

There are the Cadian 666th that turned traitor

[queen laurel]

no they are not

[fallen plaza]

So i assume its a mixed with other regiments

[open pumice]

This could be me filling in blanks because I know they are like

The one chaos guard who knows their way around an objective

[queen laurel]

they are literally just chaos Guardsman

literally nothing else

[celest dome]

They're from the Sabbath sector, locals

[open pumice]

Sick thanks

I have brain damage lmao

[celest dome]

Don't we all

[queen laurel]

i like this Urlock Gaur fella

[open pumice]

Been too busy playing loyalist scum

All I know is serve emperor, eat hot chip, and kill Xenos

[celest dome]

We do have the most drip

[open pumice]

He looks cuddly

[queen laurel]

ohh yeah you haven't answered my question yesterday

If you can build your own grand alliance consisting of one faction from each grand alliance available from order, chaos, destruction, and death what factions would you pick

aos

[open pumice]

Until Monday I would have said you'll never come close to the drip of the sang guard

I still say your right

But at the same time

[open pumice]

Too bad that's not an available mini

[fallen plaza]

The palatine blades are cooler than the sang guard will ever be

[open pumice]

Bro hasn't made the STLs available

[fallen plaza]

Its not yet done if i recall

Then again he has a lot of stuff that isnt easy to find

[queen laurel]

do they have orks

[fallen plaza]

Unfortunately no

[open pumice]

Yeah if he puts out a set I'll get them for heresy
But he's also known for not putting out his STLs

[queen laurel]

oh well

[open pumice]

I am determined to make the new sang guard look good

Which unfortunately involves using the old sanguinary guard kits

God I hate that

[celest dome]

Oh sorry didn't see the question (worked long hours yesterday)
Kharadron Overlords
Ogor Mawtribes (Maneater or Firebellies)
Khrone Bloodbound
Nighthaunt
All themed on frozen/wintery expedition in the realm pocket of Kislev

[open pumice]

I hate that dark angels and black Templars got a better release than us

[fallen plaza]

Thankfully the stuff that he does release is good enough for me

[open pumice]

If I never hear a dark angels player bitch about their release I'm going to make caliban look like childs play

[queen laurel]

damn that is good one mine is Blades of khorne, Fyre Slayers, Ossiarch, Iron Jawz

you can guess the tactics from there

or lack thereof

[celest dome]

CHARGE

[queen laurel]

yes

turn them all to dust

[open pumice]

Some poor new player asked me to teach him the game

Poor guy got 2 full hours of the gospel of the charge phase

[queen laurel]

LMAO

[open pumice]

Yeah I'm stalking his stuff, or rather having goons (other internet denisens without lives) do it for me

[fallen plaza]

If you happen to find anything he has that is no longer available then do bring them to my attention 😁

[sour hornet]

Really?

they're the easiest

they have the least amount of fluff, simple one or two syllable names

[storm jungle]

Yeah but i like my names to have meanings to some degree

[sour hornet]

Ogryn

Meaning

?

[storm jungle]

Life

Meaning

21

[open pumice]

Best if they end in hard consonants too
Like Ks and Ts

[storm jungle]

etc

bitch-ass

[sour hornet]

[storm jungle]

[open pumice]

Will do

[fallen plaza]

Gingoong the oggy

[storm jungle]

Me when im white and need to come up with the most racist ass name possible

[sour hornet]

His name is lug bc he carries heavy things

[storm jungle]

this yeah lol

like just going "Gruk" is easy

I like putting in the effort

[queen laurel]

his name is Thud because that's the sound he made when he headbutted the wall and caused a dent in it

[sour hornet]

you get it

[queen laurel]

but sometimes you just need to be creative with the naming

[storm jungle]

to be fair that is pretty good

[queen laurel]

grunt sounds as names doesn't really get you far

[fallen plaza]

His name is chud because he is chud

[storm jungle]

wrong site

well mostly

[sour hornet]

mostly...

Ogryn names are easier than trying to create an original name for your veteran and ending up sharing a name with a roman centurion from 50 B.C.

[storm jungle]

Its hard but its half the effort and fun imo

i made a Kasrkin named Jon and went "lame ahh name"

[sour hornet]

What

Jon is kickass though

[queen laurel]

yeah when I make ork characters I try to give them very fun names

[sour hornet]

Also Jon is very plain and common and entirely un-noteworthy. Just like the cadians.

[fallen plaza]

Half the fun in naming for me is just finding something between a mix of gibberish and convincing

[storm jungle]

It is but its also too simple, I made it so that "Jon" is his nickname and his real name is Joncantius, due to his parents naming him after a famous Cadian general, works perfectly for both cases

[fallen plaza]

Lemme think of a gibberish one right now

[storm jungle]

oh god

[sour hornet]

Aulin Kanthor

[fallen plaza]

Domtrop owens

[queen laurel]

JONCANTIUS VON VALANCIUS

[storm jungle]

YEET

also those two above are legit good lol

you can differentiate the vibes instantly

latter literally sounds like some underhive scum lol

[fallen plaza]

I got the name from a gundam i was searching for

Dom tropen

[sour hornet]

stealing for my savlar officer

thanks no thanks

[queen laurel]

The best imperial name i came up with is

Jonathos "Mad" Kyron

for my rogue trader

[storm jungle]

honestly not too bad

theres a lot worse canon ones

Emil Darkhammer

[queen laurel]

replace the D and remove the K

[sour hornet]

Quintus Severin

[storm jungle]

i had to google to see if that was legit

very good one lol

[fallen plaza]

Charms pellion

Im saving my good names for my actual characters

[storm jungle]

Yeah it either has to be that or completely making up your own name

like I named my preacher Skolten Cinderscorn

you already get the vibe hes a fucking psycho

[fallen plaza]

I normally dont like to do that, i like to use names to sound like what the character is the opposite of

[sour hornet]

Anyone with "cinder" in their name is legitimately insane

Avoid

[storm jungle]

KEK

[storm jungle]

Yeee cinderscorn in this case is a nickname

like i never wanna be as cringe as Darkhammer

a great test of naming is also something people forget a lot

aka saying it outloud

[fallen plaza]

Reikmaul blackheart is cool and edgy, but theres already a black heart in 40k

[storm jungle]

Yeah you should do edgy if you can creatively, otherwise avoid it

evil names work better when they can pass off both as a normal person name sometimes but that can be extremely hard

like Huron is great for example

Blackheart part though uh yeah lol

[sour hornet]

Darian Vitellus

[storm jungle]

Yeah exactly

[fallen plaza]

Huron has such a cool fucking cool name

One of the best warhammer names

[storm jungle]

Legit

[fallen plaza]

Huron luft? Badass

[storm jungle]

Lufght* i think

but like as much as people meme on that i like it

it shouldnt be a normal human surname

we are 40k years in the future lol

[sour hornet]

I just beam pictures of IG officers into my mind and assign their names.

[fallen plaza]

40 thousand hammers in the future aschually

[storm jungle]

I also got a character named Vyktir who prob has the most eureka scheme i did for a OC

Vyk is after the overseer-boss of his parents they put on him so their boss maybe gives them an extra ration or two

Tir is just the Tir energy cartel that they slave away for

so this isnt even a real name for him, its almost like a slavery mark of shame

but he still uses it

[sour hornet]

IG Lieutenant Sabine Kaltos

[storm jungle]

Sabine is great but i tend to personally always make up names, never use real ones unless its to modify them

[queen laurel]

the best names i made for my orruk and ork characters are

Ard’gob the Mad Shoota and Skartoof The Bone Flaya

[fallen plaza]

Ardoff helt-er

[queen laurel]

Coming up with an ork name that isn't way too generic is a bit of a noggin

[sour hornet]

I like mixing normal names with abnormal surnames, and vice-versa.

[storm jungle]

yee entirely fair

[celest dome]

I've got a Malverte, a Cactus, and a Dakra (Zel; Psy; Ogryn)

[storm jungle]

half the fun of coming up with ork names is opening the ork character wiki and CTRL + F'ing to see if someone beat you already lol

[celest dome]

Might rename my Cactus into Cactys for more 40k flair

[storm jungle]

Caktos

[fallen plaza]

Hulio Vhendau is a name ive been cooking up, i intend to use this name for an asshole

[sour hornet]

It's a clash of the remnants of terran culture with the strange newness of the present day imperium.

[storm jungle]

Vhendau sounds like a S-Tier cunt name

i love it

[queen laurel]

it is

[celest dome]

She's a woman, think Caktos wouldn't sound well for her

[storm jungle]

almost like When Die

ah fair, i thought it was a guy

then Caktis might be better, almost like Candice etc

[fallen plaza]

If you read the name fast enough you’ll lose all subtly of it 😁

[storm jungle]

if it works for Ghazghkull it works for us

[celest dome]

Weirdly enough I prefered all the woman VA, so I went with them each time

[storm jungle]

"oh its not a parody of Thatcher guys"

yeah sure buddy lol

[fallen plaza]

Its not a parody idiot

Its a true to life model

[storm jungle]

i like how even the guy that came up with the name in GW denies it

idk why, bitch is long dead, maybe hes embarrassed

[queen laurel]

i love that warhammer is home to some of the most dumbest names and what the fuck inducing

[storm jungle]

me when im searching for Thrax from SM1

and I get 4 fucking results in the Inquisitor character page

[alpine ingot]

Never forget at one point they had a canonical Inquisitor by the name of Obiwan Sherlock Cluseau

[storm jungle]

Im pretty sure they hitned hes still around

the only issue is his name is a literal walking minefield of copyrights

[queen laurel]

LMAO

[storm jungle]

i think at least for Obi Wan?

Inspector Clousseu's one is a pre-existing french name

Sherlock Holmes not sure

[alpine ingot]

Obideus Sherlock Cluseau incoming I guess

[celest dome]

Still there, though doesn't really get used anymore

[storm jungle]

yeah i dont mind that as much lmao

[storm jungle]

yeah all we saw were his initials for a report

O.S.C

[spring cairn]

wasn't og art of him just a guy in a trenchcoat with a ying yang shirt

and a fedora

[alpine ingot]

yes

[spring cairn]

if he doesn't use a power katana it would be really sad

[alpine ingot]

if he isn't the most informed inquisitor on Tau technology I would be sad

[winged jacinth]

I named my zealot after an ancient terran holy place

"Pizzahut Tacobell"

It is said that only the emperor could leave with bowels intact

[storm jungle]

[spring cairn]

"this Tau blade, folded 125354 times, much superior to wester- I mean, imperial steel, it can cut thru carapace with ease"

[alpine ingot]

"Only Tau firewarriors can be so accurate with an energy weapon acolyte." - O.S.C

[shell mason]

[alpine ingot]

would also be a funny line to drop instead with "Ork snipers" whilst he is examining a Celestial Lions helm

Na it'll be 10 models each and one turret each

[raven stone]

All the Twitch people are saying Vespids look like Star Wars Geonosians…

[crystal forum]

probably less racist

Only Eldar and Imperium are allowed to be racist in 40k XD

[queen laurel]

Orks

[raven stone]

That too

[rocky gale]

Yea there's 10 scions and a turret, then 10 Vespids and a drone

So 22

[green loom]

Mindless drones

[rose thorn]

i like it

[outer wave]

Glad the vespids actually got models

[rose thorn]

i guess they are trying to make them still feel seperate

instead of homogonizing them into tau

[outer wave]

Based!

[rose thorn]

true

if i ever get alot of money i might get a kroot army

they hit my favotire vibes

[queen laurel]

oh come on they look way better

[rose thorn]

they do

the new models are 100% upgrade

i agree

it was jsut weird to me they arent wearign armor

[outer wave]

They're neophytes; they dont get armor until they rank up their veterancy

My headcanon anyway

[rose thorn]

know what that is fair

[raven stone]

In the Tau army, armour is a reward for Auxiliaries.

[queen laurel]

to be fair i feel like that's more of ranking thing because there is one that wears armor

[raven stone]

Aka how to be Grimdark without stupid.

[rose thorn]

yee pretty sure thats the leader

(who it hink has a midn contorl thign in it)

[queen laurel]

yeah i think it's the same deal as kroot shapers

leader gets the fancy stuff

to be honest i prefer the no chestplate look

makes them look scary

[rose thorn]

kroot are too cool for tau armor

[queen laurel]

like i wouldn't be surprised if they disembowel someone and eat them alive

[queen laurel]

damn that is premium

[rose thorn]

they would rather do thier own shit tbh

[queen laurel]

to be honest i would too, them fishiez are suspicious

[rose thorn]

i dont think kroot even liek tau

[raven stone]

First major employer that doesn’t off them, more like.

[queen laurel]

Yeah to be fair the only reason they really willingly join them is because they did save their species from being obliterated

[rocky gale]

Na he's not the leader, he's a stealth dude

He can go invisible

[queen laurel]

Oh neat

[rocky gale]

Strain Leader is the boss

He gets a special helmet so the Tau Commander back at base can give him instructions

[queen laurel]

Why does the stealth guy have armor while the leader has none

[rocky gale]

Stealth guy isn't really wearing armour

He's wearing stuff that makes him go invisible

[queen laurel]

Oh he's actually wearing stealth gear

[rocky gale]

It's like a Vespid modified version of the Tau Stealth Suit

[queen laurel]

I see

[shell mason]

wat in the
