Seems messy to get blood on your machinery

wars are won and loss on morale

#

The most awful thing I remember about the campaign is hendricks taking a tiny ass bite of a candy bar and chucking it away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caF11caTRt8

Stumbled upon this cutscene and was pretty surprised. Monty is EVERYHWHERE!

Soldier says how much he loves the chocolate bar, right before he throws 7/8th of it on the ground. I supposed the black-site base cleaning lady is expected to pick up after him. Kind of a dick move. Then again, I guess military helicopters don't have waste paper basket...

arctic talon
#

seeing some dude getting torn limb from limb

storm jungle
#

GOD

arctic talon
#

is like

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

way worse then seeing someone just getting their skull crushed lol

queen laurel
#

Just a bit surprised you know

storm jungle
#

this is what admech wishes their robots were like

arctic talon
#

I think my only complaint about Titanfall 2 is the lack of faction specific Specter models lol

#

Then again lore wise I guess it makes sense

#

the old Specter model is literally deprecated and worse there's no point in making them

queen laurel
winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

the triangle head is really cool

#

the Boxhead Gen 2 specters are fine but like

#

I prefer the triangle head

wintry scarab
queen laurel
winter vessel
#

Hell I would've been fine if the triangle head was what the simulacrum Pilots would look like

queen laurel
#

This ain't ultra kill

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

I think reavers was it

#

Like that robot that just shoots rockets at you and move around

wintry scarab
#

Reapers iirc

queen laurel
#

Yeah those guys

green loom
#

Train go boom

arctic talon
#

ngl I wish titanfall 2

#

kept the titanfall 1 titan system

#

regenerating shields + modifiable loadouts

queen laurel
wintry scarab
#

I dont like the 3rd person stuff in tf2. Tbf, i think i liked tf1 more than tf2

winter vessel
queen laurel
#

Couldn't play titan fall 2 though

queen laurel
#

I thought they did

winter vessel
#

you gotta feed them a battery

sacred ginkgo
#

You don't even get shields on titans without someone rodeoing a battery for you

wintry scarab
#

They do. Heath does not untill someone feeds you. Or you do yourself iirc

arctic talon
arctic talon
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

It was removed so titans would die easier

#

which is fine I guess

#

but titans weren't that hard to kill in 1

#

you just had to get good at it lol

winter vessel
#

Titanfall 2 really made them more specialized

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

I also miss the more varied like

#

apperances you had in titanfall 1 for pilots but w/e

#

you're a mercenary in the second one not working for a specific faction

winter vessel
wintry scarab
#

As somone that loves customization, i stopped playing tf2 back in the day because of the lack of it. That was the most disappointing thing for me.

queen laurel
#

Like yes your titans practically don't have personality but you can make them your own truly

winter vessel
#

"i don't care about Nose arts! Where is my Vanessa OS?!"- me when we couldn't choose an operating system

tough haven
#

Is modded titanfall large at all?

#

Cause maybe there’s a mod that brings that back

#

The fact that not even shields recharge is kinda crazy

dense salmon
#

Imagine the emperor's face seeing magnus smash through the webway

#

Every once in a while I imagine his expression and chuckle

opaque coyote
#

average imperium citizen:

autumn cypress
#

Sefoni is the mourningstar's navigator right?

rocky gale
#

New Admech book pogryn

storm jungle
#

Sefoni is just a powerful psyker in the warband's employ

arctic talon
autumn cypress
#

Fair enough

dense salmon
#

Grendyl probably wouldn't have a navigator in his retinue and depend on brahms' instead

storm jungle
#

yeah the navigator comes with Brahm's ship

#

they are all snobs that mind their own business anyway

dense salmon
#

Navigators are to psykers as nobility is to the imperium

autumn cypress
#

Grendyl is the Inquisitor we have yet to see right?

dense salmon
#

Stuck up, douchey

arctic talon
#

Unless you count the creepy servitor lol

dense salmon
dense salmon
storm jungle
#

still holds up very well

celest dome
sour hornet
#

Real real real

#

TF|1 clears honestly

#

og stryder is still kino aesthetically

wintry scarab
#

Not bashing on titanfall 2 as i still think its a sick game but stuff like the gritty vibe of the first were sort of taken away in 2 as well.

sour hornet
#

everything is cleaner and more futuristic

#

no visual filter like the CoD games of the time either

arctic talon
#

I don't mind the game looking cleaner

#

tbh

#

I think the asthetic of 2 is fine

dense salmon
#

But it's a decent surface level observation

#

They are psykers, just a specific "breed" of them

#

They are different on a genetic level

#

And because of how valuable and rare they are they consolidate themselves in noble houses

rocky gale
#

The sheer number of new Skaven models is amazing

dense salmon
#

They also have to inbreed to keep the ability

#

But nobody wants to hear about that

plush mason
#

so question about the grimoires we collect sometimes, i assume the main point of taking them is to deny the knowledge they contain to the cult, but what does the inquisition do with them once back on the ship?

#

is there just some vault in the depths of the ship where they have them locked away or do they just yeet them into an incinerator after they verify the books have no new info

dense salmon
#

Puritan inquisitors would likely just destroy the Grimoires

#

Radicals would find a way to use them

dense salmon
#

Given that we are disposable, the inquisition would just kill us if we showed signs of corruption and are content with us doordashing it to them

plush mason
#

yeah i image the grimoires are for learning the sorcerous rituals the cult uses so likely not that high value information

storm jungle
#

We do know the onboard crew take precautions to "cleanse" operatives of infection.

#

or at least the small bits of corruption

#

both spiritually and physically, as Kayex mentions prepping scalpels once we destroy the phage tree and come back home lol

dense salmon
#

Pretty sure eisenhorn spends weeks or months recovering in book 1 after someone tries to use a xeno grimoire

#

Nasty stuff

plush mason
#

its fortunate the cult only put wards that destroy the books if they are opened improperly

#

there are a lot more deadly ways to keep those grimoires out of unwanted hands

dense salmon
#

The fact we just find them lying around is funny

plush mason
#

i imagine the ritual masters of the cult are just sitting there like "for the love the grandfather will you idiots STOP LEAVING THE BOOKS LYING AROUND!!"

dense salmon
#

Admonition could be using the grimoires to create daemonhosts

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

yeah like i said they are most likely tools for learning the sorcery of the cult, so daemon communion summonings and binding rituals

opaque coyote
#

Actually what if the grimores we pick up are nothing special

#

Like they're not even demonically possessed or cursed or anything

#

They're just books

dense salmon
opaque coyote
#

Also I found it interesting how Sister Vestia is actually not a bad person?

#

Like she's a Sister of Battle so she definitely has done some heinous things.

She also casually insults us if you have certain personalities

plush mason
#

i dont think she is a sister of battle

opaque coyote
#

I mean isn't she a Sister tho

#

She's literally called Sister Vestia

#

Probably not part of the combat Ordos tho

plush mason
#

yeah but that doesnt mean she is a sister of battle, she is just part of the ecclisiarchy

opaque coyote
#

Fair

#

Yesh

storm jungle
#

when you get Brahms/Kayex she specifically tells him to prep decontanimation processes for us

dense salmon
opaque coyote
plush mason
#

yeah it was unexpected

opaque coyote
#

I think in the mission where you have to scan the Stims, she actually has faith in us

opaque coyote
#

Like she explicitly says to the nobles "I have faith in the rejects to do their jobs"

storm jungle
#

shes just a religious lady

dense salmon
storm jungle
#

^

opaque coyote
#

She also says that the reason why Tertium fell is because well

The residents were abandoned

storm jungle
#

Sister/Brother is always used in most religious departments to some degree

opaque coyote
#

And to be honest she is right

storm jungle
#

that line is mostly related to Dreyko itself

plush mason
dense salmon
#

The sisters of battle and astartes are based on teutonic knights so they also call eachother sister/brother

storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

The reason why the Moebian 6th turned is because their efforts were never acknowledged.

Similar to how modern soldiers were. They were abandoned. Never acknowledged

dense salmon
#

She'd probably also have the white dyed hair but that isn't necessarily a requirement

opaque coyote
#

They cannot even share their pain

#

Because they would be scorned

dense salmon
#

Yeah the moebian 6th have a very all quiet on the western front vibe

plush mason
dense salmon
#

Atoma was saturated with a lot of propaganda about what the dark tide was, so many were ignorant about what was really happening

opaque coyote
#

I think for Darktide, it's more about the Gulf War/War against Terror tbh

dense salmon
#

I'd feel bad for them if they didn't return to their home and begin slaughtering everyone

opaque coyote
#

The Moebian 6th itself never does any of it beyond

Fighting against the planet's military

#

Of course it's still BAD

#

Since they're still allied with insane cultists

#

And are condoning it

#

Still though, Captain Wolfer does actually offer us to turn back or even join.

#

We just don't because Chaos sucks and we have a job to do

Also those refinements aren't gonna pay for themselves

plush mason
#

per the martyr skull dialog Wolfer was a traitor well before he lead the the 6th back

opaque coyote
#

In the battlefield

#

People seemed to praise his leadership also. So it was likely that he was forced to be left behind. Injured and in agony

#

He seemed like was a genuinely good sergeant before he turned Traitor long ago

#

Most likely he just finally broke because he wasn't even gonna die with the ability to take some with him

#

He was just gonna die defenseless and alone with nobody acknowledging his death.

#

So he gave himself to Nurgle

To the cult

#

And turned traitor

#

If there is one thing I do love about Darktide

It's the Moebian 6th.

#

To be honest I kinda wish there was a mission where we somehow play with the Traitor's POV

#

It does make me wonder how many regular soldiers often turn traitor in the Imperium

#

It's genuinely sad that the story of Darktide is slow to develop tbh

#

Because the tidbits we get are REALLY interesting

dense salmon
#

The astra militarum is broken down into branches and units rather than being one cohesive fighting force to abate this

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

Similar to the legions being broken down into chapters

opaque coyote
#

It prevents a guard captain from like

#

Bombing planets with ships if they turn traitor

dense salmon
#

The navy even has its own ship-to-ship fighting force

#

Independent of the imperial guard

opaque coyote
#

They use some special weapons like Rotor Cannons btw

#

Please have Rotor Cannons in Darktide a Mini gun would be so cool

dusk patrol
#

Separation of powers to make it more difficult for regiments to turn and all that

storm jungle
#

but also makes them also easier to turn to chaos

#

its kinda the irony behind it

dusk patrol
#

Or be as effective when they do

storm jungle
#

its why when any faction's sub-group turns traitor the Imperium takes like

#

weeks to months to realise it lol

opaque coyote
#

In fact it will be the exact same

#

Wrong shipments at the wrong time to wrong planets?

#

That happens anyways with or without Chaos affecting it

storm jungle
#

pretty much

#

its why Guilliman splitting up the branches to so many sub-groups is a good idea on the surface but an awful one in practice when your civilization is so crooked

opaque coyote
#

Jokes aside, decentralization helps to lessen the blow

But also makes the blow more common

dusk patrol
#

It varies, at the end of the day you have to choose your battles

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

The codex Astartes doesn’t have to do with the other branches

storm jungle
dense salmon
#

Most squads don't even have vox access

dusk patrol
#

And he had like 100 years after he released it

opaque coyote
#

The Codex Astartes was probably meant to be a temporary thing tbh. He made it out of desperation because everything was fuckex

dense salmon
#

Vox is usually only given to command squads and field officers

#

So your average guardsman doesn't even have any sort of communication line

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

It wasn’t really, it was just a solution for the future and it wasn’t meant to be never changing

dense salmon
#

Which probably makes them a worse fighting force

#

But it also slows down the spread of treachery

dense salmon
#

There's a hammer and bolter episode where they spend the entire episode traveling through trenches to deliver a single message to the command squad

opaque coyote
#

Tbh I actually kinda want to see him again

dusk patrol
#

There’s just a lot of variance

dense salmon
#

Yeah some definitely have a lot of communication lines, others don't

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

The imperium takes opsec very seriously

#

The definition of if you dont need to know, you won't

dusk patrol
#

Also the vox is always dramatically on the fritz

opaque coyote
#

Tbf Hammer and Bolter got much better with the later episodes

But the early episodes were

#

Not good

dense salmon
#

The animation was so stiff and dogshit

storm jungle
#

most are fine

opaque coyote
#

It didn't help that GW also cracked down on fan content before hand so people were already pissed

storm jungle
#

the problem is its under-budgeted

#

because GW

dense salmon
#

When abaddon shot the necron in the head

#

And instead of like

#

An explosion you'd expect from a storm bolter

opaque coyote
#

But I also felt like they knew

dense salmon
#

It was like a cartoon cloud was drawn on its neck

opaque coyote
#

"We have 2 cents as a budget"

dense salmon
#

The episodes are actually entertaining otherwise

#

A good way to get friends into the lore piecemeal

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

And the only reason I still pay for warhammer+

opaque coyote
#

Or the one about Yarrick

#

Oh yeah also

#

It's slander time

dusk patrol
#

There’s Iron Hands meetups?

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Are we just

#

Posting grimdank

opaque coyote
#

Nah that's it

dusk patrol
#

In this sacred place

opaque coyote
#

I ain't posting any more

opaque coyote
#

Keep worshipping your corpse emperor

dusk patrol
#

The real one for sallies should have been “Salamanders fans when you tell them they’re not picking the good guy faction”

storm jungle
# opaque coyote

almost every single black templar fan i see being some form of racist is prob my favorite trope

#

it legit drives me insane sometimes

dusk patrol
#

“Tau fans when you tell them their faction actually isn’t the rainbow and kittens faction”

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Like jfc imagine picking a faction in 40k because you want to be the most “moral” talk about the point of the setting blasting over your head at Mach 5

opaque coyote
#

I just like the Tau because big rail gun

dusk patrol
#

And that’s fine, they got a good look

#

But if you’re picking them cause you think you’re picking some actual good guys you’re cringe af, same for sallies and lamenters and whoever else

opaque coyote
#

Personally I just wish they had more Auxiliaries than Vespids and Kroot.

Like they have Knight sized Giants.

And we don't have a model of them that are like

#

Them outfitted with Battlesuit weaponry and armor

#

Like imagine that. That would be the coolest fucking thing ever

#

Oh yeah and also mushroom people (not the Orks)

dusk patrol
#

Tau are doing fine as a faction for models rn, maybe eventually

#

But baby steps

autumn cypress
#

I want the Mechanicus to quit being a fucking horde army

#

It upsets me greatly

dusk patrol
#

There’s always gonna be some obscure thing that doesn’t get a model

opaque coyote
#

Still though part of the reason why I like them is cause they sorta remind me of like

The Covenant except

Bluer

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Maybe one day

leaden pilot
opaque coyote
#

I have never seen a world eater fan not have muscles

storm jungle
#

to be fair

#

most world eater fans are about as braindead as their faction

#

💀

dense salmon
dusk patrol
dense salmon
#

But then again

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

I've never met a world eaters player

opaque coyote
leaden pilot
dusk patrol
#

I’ve always managed to meet a decent variety of people for every faction

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Good and bad

dense salmon
#

Imagine seeing me after pumping arms walk into the game workshop store with the most basic cadian army you have ever seen in your life

#

Well, I guess it's not super basic

opaque coyote
#

Because I ||am braindead|| like Khornate stuff

#

Like if I have to choose my ""favorite"" Chaos Gods it'd probably go something like

-Khorne
-Slaanesh
-Nurgle
-Tzeentch

dusk patrol
#

I don’t miss old Angron setup

#

That shit was wild

autumn cypress
dusk patrol
#

Still good but

autumn cypress
#

Perfectly balanced

opaque coyote
leaden pilot
storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Lords of Change are cool

opaque coyote
#

True

Unless if you fight them in Boltgun

Then they're not cool

#

WILL YOU JUST STAND STILL YOU FUCKING BIRD

leaden pilot
#

Tbh I'd love to kitbash a Warriors of Chaos Nurgle-themed warband for The Old World once I get better at model building and painting

dusk patrol
#

Arguably we have an overexposure of Lords of Change in media rn

dense salmon
#

Out of the traitor legions, death guard and night lords have my favorite aesthetics

dusk patrol
#

They pop up a lot

leaden pilot
opaque coyote
#

WORTHLESS ASS MOTHERFUCKER

YOUR LIFE IS WORTH NOTHING

YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF N-

dense salmon
#

Although

#

Death guard used to be wayyyyy cooler

storm jungle
#

They are still cool

#

if you dont like the models thats fine

#

most people enjoy them as is

opaque coyote
#

Plague Marines are probably my favorite CSM designs tbh

storm jungle
#

back in the day their range update was crazy

opaque coyote
#

I like the bloated sickly look

#

Khornate Berserkers are just above them because of the weird

#

Arches(?)

dense salmon
opaque coyote
#

Idk wtf do you call these things on their helmets

dense salmon
#

AND you can always just paint them a certain way

opaque coyote
#

Horns?

#

Uhh

#

Arches?

#

Wtf do you call their thingies on their helmet

#

This dude is wielding a plasma pistol and chain axe

He likes to live dangerously

#

Seriously tho wtf are the things on their helmets called

opaque coyote
#

Bro has Es on his head

#

And still manages to makes it look cool

dense salmon
opaque coyote
#

It's like how Vegeta manages to make that Troll Haircut look cool

#

Seriously I tried a similar haircut once in elementary because Vegeta was my favorite

dense salmon
#

They'd actually not be very practical as you want a blow to your helmet to "roll" off

opaque coyote
#

Worst mistake of my life

dense salmon
#

Something getting caught on it isn't good for your brain

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

Yeah

dense salmon
#

World eaters don't have much to worry about there

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Since Melee is a thing in 40k

#

Or maybe to attract snipers

#

Like they bring their arches up

#

The sniper shoots at instinct

#

Only hits the arches cause the rest of the head is in the trench or something

#

Or Maybe I'm just overthinking it

#

Definitely overthinking it

storm jungle
#

TF2 ahh moment

opaque coyote
dense salmon
#

Say I catch my sword in it

#

Now I can wrestle your head around

opaque coyote
#

But because he worships Nurgle, the piss is so infected and acidic that it fucking melts metal

dense salmon
#

Or wrench your helmet off

opaque coyote
#

And faces

dense salmon
#

But again

#

This is something a world eater does not care about

opaque coyote
#

I mean if you get the sword caught in the helmet

#

You're fucking dead

storm jungle
#

its the same reason people wore long/decorated helmets IRL

dense salmon
#

It also looks cool as hell

storm jungle
#

it denotes status

#

also is symbolic

#

etc etc

dense salmon
opaque coyote
#

Always thought they should have sharp ends on the helmet

dense salmon
#

Plumage or ornamentation didnt lose popularity until ww1

opaque coyote
#

Because I think it would be impractically cool

storm jungle
#

Yeah also the 9th edition chaos codex actively explains even CSM who arent aware of their surroundings much will have their armor actively mutate

#

and like, basically get customised without their consent

#

lol

dense salmon
#

Yeah lol

opaque coyote
#

Which must suck if you have like

storm jungle
#

I appreciate how a writer added that in just to explain how CSM work with armor mutations/custominsation lol

opaque coyote
#

An itch or something

opaque coyote
#

Ahriman didn't purposefully put those armor nipples on

storm jungle
#

Uhhh

#

they did get nerfed

#

as seen on the latest book cover

opaque coyote
#

...

storm jungle
#

before his nipples were fucking gigantic

opaque coyote
#

And she basically had her nipples fucking electrified

#

While saying 'Why are you laughing??"

#

And tbh

#

I definitely think some mf laughed at it

#

Before getting disintegrated by Ahriman

#

Like there is no way that one person hasn't

storm jungle
#

official art has a librarian with the same setup

#

i think they are there to be like "conductors" but they are also literally just nips

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

"Yeah that looks great!"

#

Idk which is worse

#

Tzeentch putting them on Ahriman's armor as a prank

#

Or Ahriman thinking it was a good fashion choice

#

Actually what's with Tzeentch and nipples

#

Magnus even has them

#

Is there something you want to tell us Tzeentch

storm jungle
#

found it

#

Eternal / Undying

paper haven
opaque coyote
#

... actually I have an idea

paper haven
#

There's an actual lore term that the world eaters use but the normal person word is mantles.

opaque coyote
#

This but 40k

storm jungle
#

accurate

storm jungle
#

but i aint digging to find the term lol

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I was gonna have a Lamenter SM turn into a Khornate Berserker

#

and I'm wondering if he should have the mantles

outer wave
opaque coyote
#

I guess we have to turn to the Emperor now...

outer wave

Im not sure anymore..... but I know we cannot survive for long....

His skeleton must have a ton of calcium!

The rock does not condone nibbling on the People’s Cupcakes

his bodyguards would demolish her

Its for everyone not just one individual

i like watching clips of bodyguards it's fun

Messi’s Bodyguard is the best to watch

does the rock do that?

storm jungle

Oh my god

you got no idea how deep that goes

crystal forum
#

i know he got a lot of shit from black adam but i didn't think it was that bad

storm jungle
#

you can google it now

#

its very much that bad

#

his entire contract essentially boils down to "i cant lose or i wont do the movie"

#

hes scared of looking bad and about his "brand"

#

since he wants to be a big-shot and mostly isnt

opaque coyote
#

listen

#

...

#

I would do the exact same thing

storm jungle
#

if it Ahriman yeah same

Took me a second to figure out what was wrong

why are you posting drake and josh stuff

what you’re looking at here is advanced jokeware

crystal forum

isn't drake a convicted something

dusk patrol
#

Something like that

#

Not a good time for Drakes

opaque coyote
#

Mainly so they can bull charge

#

Imagine a World Eater doing this to some poor mf

I mean, they absolutely have

opaque coyote

Speaking of which if I ever write a Khornate Berserker

I am 100% have them do that

oh shit new hunter the parenting video i didn't see

And tbh I do enjoy Hunter The Parenting a lot

I once played a khornate berserker in a game of Black Crusade.

He was actually pretty chill.

storm jungle

A right geezer

storm jungle
#

the fact that they got an entire small animation team for it is crazy

paper haven

New episode is out

crystal forum
#

shows what true love and dedication does

paper haven
#

But it's not the main story so

plush mason
#

i need to get back to following it

crystal forum
#

also they still output more stuff than warhammer+ which is funny

crystal forum
#

personally i dont need flashy animation to be entertained

opaque coyote
#

It's clear that he wants to continue TTS, but he also dislike GW and their policies

#

also he can't risk it cause he has a kid

opaque coyote
#

I like his Half Life series

"What... was that?"

"CYANIDE!!!!"

alfabusa improves his videos every time

plush mason
crystal forum
#

damn his patreon makes numbers

storm jungle
#

he deserves it tbh

crystal forum
#

but its probably less than expected due to paying the voice actors

storm jungle
#

remember almost 70-80% of that money goes to his crew at large

#

same with the voice actors who are all TTS veterans

crystal forum
#

25k from 8k supporters

#

there's some die hard supporters man

#

i should contribute

outer wave
#

The VA work in the latest Hunter thing is really good

storm jungle
#

AAA-tier

storm jungle
#

good to see people are giving him all that money though, knowing the effort that goes behind each episode especially

crystal forum
#

he just does what he enjoys man i wish him the best

storm jungle
#

Same, its why i didnt care at all when he put TTS on hiatus

#

guy has a wife/kid to feed lol

#

i wouldnt put my patreon on jeopardy over IP nonsense either

alright so

i illegally read the HH unit book

all this text to describe a gun that's on like 2 custodes model

leaden pilot
crystal forum
#

people apparently think it's necron stuff

#

but like normal ass necron guns wouldn't justify the emp snatching them

opaque coyote
#

But I like Volkite because it's similar to like

#

30's scifi

#

Laser guns

#

Reminds me of the guns that the aliens use in War of the Worlds

storm jungle
#

Volkite is literally the Mars Attacks martian guns

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

CHOOM

green loom
#

Excited to see how SM2 handles it

opaque coyote
#

To the people and xenos that they encounter in the Great Crusade

dusk patrol
#

It’s a pretty ideal weapon for Nids

opaque coyote
#

They are the invaders

green loom
#

Inb4 plasma but red

opaque coyote
#

They are the ones who disintegrate people

opaque coyote
#

They are the ones who probe people weirdly

dusk patrol
#

I expect it’ll be like Sunshot from Destiny at least

storm jungle
#

just uh more faster

opaque coyote
#

They are the alien invaders

opaque coyote
#

It's a classic role reversal

dusk patrol
#

Yes we got it the first time

opaque coyote
#

I like yapping

opaque coyote
#

uhh

#

This thing

#

That's what I expect Volkite to be

#

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

dusk patrol
#

I expect especially since it’s a pistol it’ll be similar to plasma just with an aoe detonation on kill

#

And faster travel time

storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

But this sound

#

is better than sex

#

Especially when used against Nazi's

dusk patrol
#

sounds like something someone who hasn’t had sex would say

#

But it does sound cool yes

opaque coyote
#

jk

storm jungle
#

to be fair its wolfenstein

#

its orgasmic both on the visual scale and sound department

dusk patrol
opaque coyote
#

But yeah that's basically what I expect Volkite to be

dusk patrol
#

As long as it has the CHOOM noise

opaque coyote
#

Warhammer is usually good in the sound department tbh

#

It's why I love Darktide so much

dusk patrol
#

I expect it’ll be fine

opaque coyote
#

SM1 had some good sound design as well

#

Chainsawing orks is fun

plush mason
#

so like, why are the volkite guns in SM2 called neo-volkite?

dusk patrol
#

Because they’re the knockoff version Cawl has made

plush mason
#

ah figures

dusk patrol
#

Cheaper to manufacture but they haven’t quite made it beyond pistols yet as far as we’ve seen

#

It’ll probably be really good at killing trash mobs and hordes but less effective against big boy targets

opaque coyote
#

Cawl is the only person who actually makes shit now

#

He maybe an asshole and overconfident

#

But his confidence is definitely backed up by a lot

rocky gale
#

Unfortunately on tabletop it's basically just the noballs version of a Plasma pistol

sour hornet
#

absolutely glorious

dusk patrol
#

Yeah basically only there if you need devastating wound

opaque coyote
#

in Darktide

#

But then I realized that it would either be overpowered or fucking boring

storm jungle
#

prob a mix of both

rose thorn
#

Overpowered and boring?

autumn cypress
#

Aye, if it was lore accurate it would basically be a portal 2 laser beam in a gun

crisp heath
#

Is retirement out of the guard actual retirement or can an interested party in need of your skills drag you back to work?

#

Like some general centuries into their career is recruited by a xenos inquisititor to help deal with a big orc problem due to their experience

#

Can they say no at that point?

autumn cypress
#

Saying no to an inquisitor is a brave thing and a privilege few can survive, let alone afford

opaque coyote
#

Old

#

Like

#

"Even with Rejuvanant my skin looks like raisins" old

dusk patrol
#

But yes an Inquisitor is gonna be able to request almost anything

opaque coyote
#

IK Cain is said to be dead.

But I think he's just retired and he's just said to be dead so he can finally rest on his laurels for once

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Anyone can

rocky gale
#

Ye big old depends

dusk patrol
#

How good an idea it is varies

opaque coyote
#

Although tbf First Founding chapters can also give the middle finger to the Inquisition and get away with it

#

Although not without some damage

dusk patrol
#

It depends again

#

There’s a lot of inquisitors with a wide variety of power and friends

opaque coyote
crisp heath
#

A custodes can simply ignore the request

dusk patrol
#

What matters more is who can kill the other

opaque coyote
#

So even their authority on paper is above

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

At the end of the day what matters more is who has bigger guns

opaque coyote
#

Since again, technically you can get away with it if you manage to kill em

rocky gale
#

Dead inquisitors tell no tales

dusk patrol
#

But generally the fear of the ordos is enough for most people and higher up levels don’t want to start something

#

But sometimes, they do

opaque coyote
#

Don't want another Age of Apostasy

#

Or worse

#

A Heresy

autumn cypress
#

Im decently sure an inquisitor can put a callidus assassin on you if you refuse and theyre upset enough about it

rocky gale
opaque coyote
#

If you are a complete asshole

#

You will not last long

#

If you are not a complete asshole

#

You have a better chance at lasting ling

#

Generally Commissars who are really trigger-happy suddenly suffer from

#

"accidents"

#

Same with Inquisitors who are trigger happy assholes

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Also I love the Inquistor Ordos

#

There is literally just an Ordos for fucking everything

rocky gale
#

Yea, inquisitors who do "Too much" typically get dealt with, usually by a fellow Inquisitor

#

and it's not always because they're going heretical, it could just be because they're pissing people off

#

Or more trouble than they're worth

opaque coyote
#

There is specifically an Ordos that takes care of misuse of Exterminatus

#

Apparently 70% of Inquisitors that call their first one die soon after

dusk patrol
#

It’s more like 90%

Why are psykers called freaks anyway? Do they just behave in a strange way?

dense salmon
#

abhuman is the more proper term

#

they're also extremely dangerous which is why in-universe they're treated as outcasts

queen laurel
#

even those that have proper mastering control on their own still have a chance of violently exploding or turning into an apartment

#

i joke

#

They just become abominations of war

dense salmon

but the natural end result of SOME people being psykers is that eventually humanity will be a psyker race

how does armour value work in HH

It's been awhile

Is that the armor value? Or the armor points?

Just because sometimes we involuntarily mutter the Litany of Protection any time we're unconsciousness doesn't make us weird 🗣️

fallen plaza
#

While your there you should read spicula launchers rules and try to comprehend them

sour hornet
#

But yeah, psykers are basically comprehensively tortured and brutalized while in the Scholastia Psykana. Side effects range from losing all the hair on your body, to being stabbed with thousands of pin-pricks all over your body, to screaming in pain so intensely, you destroy your vocal cords and rely on an augmetic.

celest dome

Psyker are hated cause they're using Chaos as their weapon. And they're really dangerous and different from other people

They tend to be unpleasant in general

Is the tithes good?

Only 1 episode atm

the first one is uh about as generic as you can get

ep2 looks interesting though

storm jungle
tough haven
#

All praise the thingy

fallen plaza
#

This a warhammer plus thingy?

storm jungle
#

In a certain way of speaking yes

shadow plover
#

The animation was good but the story was whatever

storm jungle
#

Yeah literally this

#

its a bit too wanky for me but it had good scenery and dialogue

#

mostly anyway

#

I think it was hilarious though how people were shocked the ultramarine was an asshole and assumed all Ultras are just good people

fallen plaza
#

When can we get slop that isnt just “good enough”

storm jungle
shadow plover
#

once Astartes II comes out I recon

storm jungle
#

hahahaha

#

thinking it will come out

#

fool

fallen plaza
#

Dont remind me of that shit

#

That still pisses me off

storm jungle
#

The fact that we could have had that almost 2 years ago fucking infuriates me

shadow plover
#

I'm still very much sure it is being worked on

storm jungle
#

they really are milking this shit for all its worth

#

Nah its deffo already done

#

the guy that made it is literally working on non 40k projects atm lol

#

you can go look at his patreon

fallen plaza
#

Somehow GW can manage all this

#

Yet still cant fulfill model pre orders in time

shadow plover
#

I have but doing Patreon stuff on the side is no indicator that Astartes II is done / not being worked on

#

Astartes is his day job now instead of the Patreon side stuff it used to be

fallen plaza
#

Remember the eisenhorn series announced way back? We technically dont have any announcements that it isnt cancelled

#

Because that one was definitely cancelled

shadow plover
#

the one before amazon deal was made?

fallen plaza
#

The one before warhammer plus

shadow plover
#

well yeah that too applies

tough haven
#

Like other franchises don’t milk their poster boys this much

tough haven
shadow plover
#

it has been 5 years since the very first "I'm working on this Eisenhorn project" and then silence, I wouldn't still say it's cancelled. It was before the Amazon deal so I'm sure it has changed things one way or another though

storm jungle
#

like the upcoming Love Death Robots thing also looks great

tough haven
#

Well yeah, that’s all I want

storm jungle
#

i just wish it was something else lol

tough haven
#

Like I get it, space marines are the money maker

fallen plaza
shadow plover
#

yes, 5 years ago as I said

fallen plaza
#

That is most definitely cancelled lol

storm jungle

But your setting is so much deeper and more complex, and allows for so much more

storm jungle

a big dude in armor is usually the safest bet in most things

Normally i am a sucker for that stuff

I just hope after Amazon show we get more varied content after they show they can be profitable and feel more people in

fallen plaza

Ubersreik 5 show 🥲

Never gonna happen

this is basically what i mean yeah

we never explore the life of non-faction stuff in animations that much lol

horrible tragedy

queen laurel
#

Good then

storm jungle
#

also you say this while ironically one of the best shows on WH plus atm is Blacktalon

probably because the animators actually got paid

Angels of death was decent i heard wasnt it?

Uhhhh

fallen plaza

Well not animation wise

storm jungle

if you like awkward mocap and shaky cam yes

helsreach's first episodes are a fucking eyesore

Lord knows it's the closest to vox machina warhammer has

they should make an official 40k animation fully done in Gmod in the OG shitpost goofy style

queen laurel

In terms of animation style

that would sell i think

Gotta find the 3d models from joaz though

Because cringe

storm jungle
#

yeah the opening style of Helsreach is just bad

#

i get why he did it and it being from a lack of resources and just it being hard to animate but eh

#

its just aged terribly

fallen plaza
#

I can do that style in photobooth in an ipad

storm jungle

#

like i usually call stuff an Eyesore as a joke

#

but this legit was just painful to watch at times lol

queen laurel
#

The prime presentation of a powerpoint said the community

storm jungle
#

Honestly the thing is the animation style for it is great

#

its that the animation itself sucks balls

#

because again underbudget lol

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

I mean not really

#

Ever heard of clutch cargo?

#

You can still work with limited frames, although how little until it isnr considered animation depends on the person

storm jungle
#

yeah the spiderverse movies were made WITH the low FPS style in mind

#

it was to make it so that any frame you pause looks like its from a comic book page etc its a very good stylistic choice

#

with Hammer and bolter its very much due to a lack of funds and time

fallen plaza

Like fuck, it hit hard

#

Him also coming out as a queer person prior to it tbh

#

i legit would have never expected it

but it adds a huge light to most of his works

Probably my favorite work he did that isnt batman was venture bros

storm jungle
#

Same guy is just iconic in anything hes in

Captain sunshine was absolutely brilliant
