Too late, got your creditcard, dogs name and hose adress. IED is on its way.

[viral halo]

I don't have a dog

(then buy an xbox)

[crystal forum]

you should be able to run the game

[wintry scarab]

You sure about that?

[crystal forum]

mine works without any issues

[tough haven]

Ok but I mean triple a games designed for the platform

[crystal forum]

again update drivers

[tough haven]

I dont like playing on consoles

[viral halo]

your game should be working fine

verify your game cache, restart your PC after it completes, and launch

[tough haven]

This happens somehow whevever I buy a new game, I gotta do like 3 days of research and troubleshooting to just get mediocre performance

[viral halo]

if having trouble still, run in admin mode

[tough haven]

Ive tried this

[crystal forum]

updating drivers should be your first recourse

[tough haven]

and this

updating drivers now

[viral halo]

Are you drivers updooted

[tough haven]

gonna listen to children of the omnissiah rn

[wintry scarab]

That is one hell of a redditor moment right there

[viral halo]

I am far too racist to be a redditor

(this is a joke)

@crystal forum Where has everyone been today man it's been light in here

[crystal forum]

dilara is missing today

she usually contributes 40% of the daily chaos

[viral halo]

A day without Eternal and Dilara bantering is like a day without coffee

I need it to wake up

I need it to get WOKE

[crystal forum]

i can feel the soy coursing through my veins

[wintry scarab]

Are chapter serfs mostly failed aspirant?

[crystal forum]

depends™️

some chapters dont even have serfs

[arctic talon]

Depends on the chapter

[wintry scarab]

Ultramarines?

[crystal forum]

some chapter initiations are so brutal no failed aspirants survive

[arctic talon]

Nah

Those are mainly recruited for the job

[crystal forum]

ultras have their shitty planet yeah

lots of manpower

[wintry scarab]

Also speaking of ultramariens. I remember someone said that they are the most popular chapter. In like 60hours of SM2, i am yet to see a single ultramarine at a high level other than myself. (Granted like 70% of players just fuck around with the customization and dont have chapters)

Those weaklings.

[crystal forum]

they are the most marketed chapter

and most popular on tabletop

sales wise

this does not mean they are the most popular in lore

[wintry scarab]

Hmm... I dont buy it. Anti-ultra propaganda i say. Saying they are so popular so that they stop being cool and unique.

[arctic talon]

Also the space marine player base isn’t representative

Of like

The entire same audience as people who buy plastic crack

[crystal forum]

they're also very simple to paint

[arctic talon]

Blue

[crystal forum]

if that indicates anything

[arctic talon]

Moment

[tough haven]

May the omnissiah grant me succour from the manifestations of scrap-code

[crystal forum]

wolf will bless your computer for 5$

[arctic talon]

No I won’t

[crystal forum]

10$

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

you drive a hard bargain

[tough haven]

May my data inload be flawless and my cogitation holy, for what is calculated is sacred, praise the Machine God!

[green loom]

But fair

[crystal forum]

ever since wolf blessed my land raider it has been doing weird engine noises

[green loom]

That just means the hidden air fryer compartment is functional again

[crystal forum]

blessed be

[green loom]

Although don't flip it on if anyone's in the transport part

[tough haven]

The data inload of my visual intake imperatives has begun, omnissiah be praised!

[crystal forum]

good thing it's an explorator

[crystal forum]

it works now?

[tough haven]

Raise your vox hailers in blessed prayer with me, that I may please my cogitator's machine spirit

https://youtu.be/asr6_eNCuoU?si=sVR3IO2CXwgvOtIB

[tough haven]

Only time will tell, I have to wait for the drivers to upload

[crystal forum]

gooood time for the poison to spread

[tough haven]

Personally this is my headcannon for what binharic hymns sound like, at least to the faithful

https://youtu.be/Vz1UaZDouBA?si=DkcJHMTMwdi1mjqk

[tough haven]

Get that dark mechanicum bs outta here

[crystal forum]

i hope your pc works tho fr

[tough haven]

Machine spirit, abjure my blessed data from the malefic presence of scrap-code, deliver my divine calculations with haste

[tough haven]

Me too

I just pray the inload from the blessed forge world of Nvidia grants my machine spirit solace

[wintry scarab]

Do plasma guns have a chance to explode on the tabletop?

[tough haven]

yup

if you overcharge it, it gains the hazardous keyword, which means you have to roll a d6 after each shot, on a 1 you fucking die

or take grievous unavoidable damage if its a vehicle or character

[tough haven]

roughly 16% chance to die

for a power increase

[arctic talon]

Yeah overcharge it overloads on 1

A few other guns have this

[tough haven]

lots of psychic attacks and ork stuff gets hazardous for free by virtue of being unstable

[arctic talon]

Tau ion guns also have it

Fire warriors overcharge that shit lol

[wintry scarab]

Ok, if i ever get around to painting some deathwatch guys, ill make sure to make a lamentor have a plasma gun for the funny. So he can lament his missing arms and torso hole.

[tough haven]

and you can make any ork gun hazardous by fucking with it in the mek detatchment "Push da button"

[arctic talon]

Tbf plasma overheats don’t always mean the gun explodes

Usually it just vents a fuck ton of hot gas on you

Which is somewhat survivable for marines

[tough haven]

once I finish listening to this divine hymn, I shall perform the ritual of reawakening to rouse my machine spirit to action

https://youtu.be/dEMcN-7uw_U?si=XqIEKb1C25BgXSDG

[arctic talon]

On the otherhand

[tough haven]

or it just no worky

[arctic talon]

Sometimes they do just

Explode

[wintry scarab]

Thats what i like to hear

Oh, i just realized that the plasmagun explodes in darktide. I could have just deducted that it also explodes in the tabletop from that.

[arctic talon]

Lol

[wintry scarab]

But tbf i also didnt know if the space marine one explodes.

[arctic talon]

The Darktide explosion is bad

But it isn’t catastrophic

It’s a violent off gassing

[tough haven]

Yeah it just knocks you on your ass

[arctic talon]

But the gun is intact

[tough haven]

I dont even think you can suicide bomb enemies with it

lame

[arctic talon]

A truly catatstrophic explosion

Would literally leave nothing behind

[tough haven]

like destroys a tank

[arctic talon]

But a pile of ash lol

[wintry scarab]

What if it happened to a marine? Same fate?

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

If a containment failure and overheat is that bad

You’re not surviving

Unless you throw the gun and get far enough away

Catastrophic failures with plasma guns are rarely depicted

But they’re fun when they are

[wintry scarab]

I always thought the idea of the gun just randomly blowing up on you was a fun concept

[arctic talon]

Tbh it’s not random

If you fire it as instructed on normal settings it’ll never explode

Thing is that’s not practical lol

[tough haven]

Hence the overcharge to hazardous

[arctic talon]

Especially in the heat of battle

Sometimes you need the extra punch to cook something

[wintry scarab]

I mean come on. You cant be a pussy and use it on safe mode. Gotta live life on the edge

[tough haven]

also handy suicide option for when the deldar, daemons, or nids are gonna get you

take a few of the bastards with you, with a prayer of vengeance on your lips

[arctic talon]

Fun fact

If you’re fast you can avoid an overheat

By opening up shit manually

I mean you’ll get multiple horrific burns

But it could be worse

[tough haven]

deldar cant revive you if theres nothing left

[viral halo]

John Basilone type shit fr

[wintry scarab]

bed time. bye bye

[tough haven]

Yay, space marine hard crashed on launch again after 30 minutes of startup

[paper haven]

Hey, me too

[soft thunder]

Warhammer chaos universally uses the Dark Tongue. It is the native language of chaos that all of the 4 main power use, as well as any lesser ones.

The words of chaos have inherent power and the further removed from how the words are used in the warp, the less powerful they are. There are core words such as "Akh" which mean "battle, to slay" and that is the only known core word I've found used by the dregs.

[tough haven]

Oh wait, I got to see the first 5 seconds of the cutscene this time before it froze

[outer wave]

For a moment, I thought you said Chaos University, and thought to myself 'They got a proper education?'

Anyway I see I see

[paper haven]

Hey, even the bad guys need to go to school

[tough haven]

man I love the video game

[outer wave]

I appreciate that they wanna get a higher level of education

[outer wave]

Ive been lurking and seeing you talk about the performance, oof christ

[tough haven]

Btw I can pause the game during this

its not frozen

this is the game

[outer wave]

Wild

[tough haven]

gonna have to deadass look up the intro cutscene cause I only got to see the first few seconds of it before it became that

I love my 60$ "high quality" game

[paper haven]

State of the art graphics and gameplay

[tough haven]

Shits happening too

I can hear sounds

and do things

[paper haven]

Play by sound

[soft thunder]

My experience with the game

[paper haven]

You're invisible

[soft thunder]

as was everything else

or very low LOD

[tough haven]

Your gene seed is fucked my dude

[opaque coyote]

Tzeentch has already done so

Or maybe he hasn't?

Either way

Just as planned

[outer wave]

I hope it turns out that Tzeentch is just really fucking dumb

He was never smart

[soft thunder]

anyways this is where all the base lore comes from 30 years ago for the Dark Tongue https://nurgle.stelio.net/dark_tongue.php

and all the darktongue/darktide stuff https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Tongue

[tough haven]

Yay! Ulfar is in the game! That was unexpected, he’s one of the few space marine characters I like!

[outer wave]

I see I see, interesting stuff

Ranges back all the way from the 80s

[tough haven]

How will this tie into his exploits with my glorious lord captain though

[soft thunder]

is ulfar that one space marine in owlcat's rogue trader?

[opaque coyote]

Tzeentch is the God of Plans and Schemes

They're extremely self contradictory

A part of him might actually be stupid and make stupid plans

While another part of him sabotages himself to stop these stupid plans in the first place

He has almost won, but he has also sabotaged himself.

It makes me wonder if Tzeentch truly even has a single "personality"

They might just be multiple minds

Screaming, plotting, and stabbing each other. Of various intelligences.

[soft thunder]

Tzeentch is just Rube Goldberg

[opaque coyote]

Pretty much lmao

[soft thunder]

same for alpha legion

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I am surprised that Tzeentch didn't grab Alpharius and Omegon for himself

They seem perfect for him tbh

[soft thunder]

both are very conveluted for the sake of being conveluted

[opaque coyote]

Or maybe the fact that Tzeentch didn't is because he wanted to go against expectations

[soft thunder]

but they can't shoot fireballs or lightning, so that's a big turnoff for the nerd god

[opaque coyote]

Oh true

[outer wave]

I dont think its that deep; Tzeentch, like the rest of the gods, are motivated by boredom.

He'll do whatever it takes to keep himself entertained

[opaque coyote]

I guess even Tzeentch can't resist the temptations of fucking magic

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think that is Tzeentch's main purpose.

But my personal theory is that Tzeentch isn't really a single "entity". More like

A bunch of entities coalesced into a single, constantly fighting Hivemind.

Backstabbing and plotting each other endlessly. Making plans ranging from mastermind to stupid.

Why?

Because it's fun

[outer wave]

Now I could see that

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I remember seeing an artist that actually did their own design interpretation for the chaos gods

I remember it looking sick

[outer wave]

Sounds cool

Do you got a link to 'em on hand by chance?

[opaque coyote]

Found it: https://www.deviantart.com/babel-bookworm/art/The-Four-Chaos-Gods-666857720

[outer wave]

Oh right this one!

Very cool shit

[fallen plaza]

Khornes face being a space marine is kinda, lame? Tbh

[opaque coyote]

Tbf they did cause war throughout the galaxy for 10000 years

[sour hornet]

Tzeentch is pretty baller

[outer wave]

Tbf they could also have been orks, eldar, necrons, etc

[opaque coyote]

That must have some tangible effect

True

Orks technically have their own gods, so do Eldar

Necrons are soulless

[outer wave]

No but as a face of a species that has gone to war for over 10,000 years

[opaque coyote]

Yeah ik.

I guess a cool idea would be to have it be a constantly shifting face

[fallen plaza]

Should nurgle have your face in it just because you were the most smelliest? Like I dunno, I kinda don't like it

[opaque coyote]

Or maybe even the original

"Mon'keigh"

[opaque coyote]

True

Although hmmm

Need to nurglemaxx more then

I like Tzeentch's design the most

Mainly because it is literally a large brain

Here is an old picture of the Chaos Gods from the 80s also

[sour hornet]

tzeentchian pals have the biggest brains tbh

[outer wave]

I like big finger Tzeentch

[opaque coyote]

Like he has his fingers in every plan

[fallen plaza]

I have a soft spot for the designs tts used

[opaque coyote]

Also it looks funny

[outer wave]

Like how he has a finger in my bu--

[opaque coyote]

Into the crystal prison for you Slaanesh

[fallen plaza]

As trendy as trying to look eldritch is, I prefer the chaos gods look like we would expect them to

[outer wave]

Damn

[fallen plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/van-darkholme-gachi-muchi-gachi-doctor-gif-23489982

[winter vessel]

Khorne reminds me of those Asiatic mythology gods

[opaque coyote]

I think Slaanesh and Tzeentch would look more Eldritch while Nurgle and Khorne would be more official

[tough haven]

They did my boy Ulfar dirty

[outer wave]

Holy shit Gacha Muchi but prostate exam?!

[fallen plaza]

I would rather neither looked eldritch, gives a classic fantasy vibe when they do

[opaque coyote]

Old lore had it so that the Chaos Gods were born by humanity.

Which was stupid so they retconned it.

But that's probably why Khorne looks similar to the Aztecs.

[tough haven]

I choose to believe its a alternate timeline from my rogue trader run where he dies a different horrible death but its more cinematic

[winter vessel]

He’s kinda goofy

[tough haven]

Or cause it looks cool

[opaque coyote]

Probably that honestly

[tough haven]

I love how space marines get shit like character development or arcs when they make mistakes or fall to chaos. Space marines get to like serve in penances that actually end and absolve them sometimes, regular humans get instantly killed for heresy usually, and if they fall to chaos theres no complex arc as to why, and they dont get to have motivations its just "Chaos is a mind disease and they were weak lol"

[opaque coyote]

Actually it's more like

"Chaos offered them two meals a day"

Holy shit if you worship Slaanesh

You might get 3 whole meals!

Unheard of honestly

[tough haven]

Almost wish I could have played as deathwatch for the whole time in sm2

cause deathwatch is far cooler than blueberry boys

but I forgot GW hates deathwatch now

so they dont get anything

[sour hornet]

Chaos is goofy like that

[opaque coyote]

Titus's experience in Deathwatch would be a cool DLC

Actually playing as a Deathwatch Marine would be cool in general

Because you could play as a radical one

And use

[sour hornet]

Like if someone (khorne) offered me super muscles and all I had to do was kill my mom, I'd simply refuse

[opaque coyote]

Xenos weapons

[tough haven]

I mean, its not always that easy

[sour hornet]

sounds pretty easy

[brisk agate]

Really?

[opaque coyote]

Tbf like any cult, they usually start out simple

"Join us, we're a body building club!"

[tough haven]

Well you have to remember that 40k characters have no coping skills or mental training of any sort and are tormented day in and day out, any promise of release from that is very very tempting, even if its likely false

[tough haven]

of course

[opaque coyote]

And by the time you find out that the body building club is actually skinning people and adding their muscles to their own

You're probably already joining in

[sour hornet]

I mean, not necessarily

[tough haven]

I love how space marines are constantly like "we're supposed to serve humanity, not overshadow it" then proceeds to overshadow and steal the spotlight from any human story or plot

[opaque coyote]

Yup

Very old lore tho

Like Rogue Trader level old

[sour hornet]

I've been to parties where people ended up doing meth and pcp, and I decided that it was not the place for me to be. If I see people skinning each other in a cult, I'm probably gonna dip.

[opaque coyote]

Back then SMs were literally just criminals

[sour hornet]

Are they not now?

[tough haven]

when they just showed up and did a part, an important part sure, but what about the 8 million guardsmen that fought to allow for the part to be played or the mechanicus adepts that made their instant win mcguffin

[tough haven]

peak

bring it back

[opaque coyote]

Tbf some do actually just fuck off the moment it gets too spicy

Some don't though

Because the Imperium in general is a messed up place

[sour hornet]

okay that makes more sense

[opaque coyote]

And the average Hive City makes Detroit look like a fucking Paradise Planet

[fallen plaza]

Number one rule with any franchise, don't do cool thing or your evil.

[tough haven]

theyre like, oh ok, well its better than working at the servitor factory where I strip of peoples muscles and add it on to others anyways

[opaque coyote]

Pretty much

[tough haven]

might as well get three meals a day too

[brisk agate]

I still thought chaos gods were still formed by the the amount of influence every living being exerts on the warp does to literally form chaos gods
What's the new lore?

[tough haven]

But on the other hand, the bad guys have the cool ass armor

(not really in 40k) but in other franchises

[sour hornet]

Yeah, they do

[tough haven]

no thats still true

[brisk agate]

Oh

[sour hornet]

Nah, chaos marines typically have better drip

[tough haven]

its just not solely humanity's fault

most were formed before humanity I think

[brisk agate]

Oooh that's why Slaanesh formed by the eldar

[tough haven]

if you call way too many spikes drip

[opaque coyote]

That is also true

But in current lore, they don't exactly conform to the standards of time.

Technically Slaanesh has existed BEFORE their birth

[tough haven]

can we just agree SMs have generally shitty drip

[opaque coyote]

And isn't at the same time

[brisk agate]

I guess slaanesh was just sleeping or something

[opaque coyote]

Nah Khornate Berserkers look cool as fuck

[sour hornet]

Better than no spikes and bland ass single tones

[brisk agate]

Beauty sleeep

[tough haven]

True

khorne is the best chaos god

[brisk agate]

Rubick CSM

😌

[opaque coyote]

Khorne basically doesn't deceive you as hard as the others.

He does do some but generally

What you see is what you get

[brisk agate]

I'm tzeetch pilled, bird brained frfr

[sour hornet]

I'm not even a fan of space marines, but if I had to be one, it'd be a csm

[brisk agate]

Which one

[fallen plaza]

Nah

[sour hornet]

Probably a slaanesh warband

[fallen plaza]

40k maybe

[tough haven]

I mean in 40k

[brisk agate]

Noise marines, respectable

[tough haven]

in the current setting

[brisk agate]

But also freeeaakkky

[tough haven]

me too buddy

[opaque coyote]

Chaos Marines generally look cooler than their normal counterparts because they can get freaky

[tough haven]

they get to have customization

[sour hornet]

Freedom

[fallen plaza]

TBF even at this state we still haven't recovered from the primaris dillution

[sour hornet]

summoning daemons n shit

[opaque coyote]

"Your puny emperor allows one helmet.

While we have multiple for free! MUHAHAHA"

[tough haven]

Yeah it might get better

however, I dont really give a shit about SMs either way

[opaque coyote]

"DAMN YOU VILE TRAITOR. YOU HAVE TO PAY $9.99 FOR THE MARK 3 HELMET OR ELSE!"

[snow fern]

||Chairon was on Calth during the betrayal of the Word Bearers? Fucker is old||

[fallen plaza]

It was only recently that elite units finally got there personalities back

[opaque coyote]

My Slaanesh Villain literally decided to turn to Slaanesh for more variety in designs

They were too tired from making gothic dresses

[fallen plaza]

He was probably a kid

[brisk agate]

Well to be faiiir

High ranking SM

Look cooool

[fallen plaza]

And then was in stasis

[brisk agate]

I hate the blueberries but I gotta admit they got that roman/Greek aesthetic down

[snow fern]

How many people did Cawl kidnap?

[opaque coyote]

Now if only they can use spears

Seriously

Spears would be great for the Ultramarines

It literally fits the aesthetic

[sour hornet]

I'd probably make a slaanesh csm group, the "Mirrored Band" obsessed with appearing dreamlike, with super polished armor and shimmering swords. Give them like hyper ADHD so they can't be in a warband with others for too long without picking a fight to prove their perfection.

[opaque coyote]

Why do no SMs USE SPEARS

[sour hornet]

Something other than grinding people into crack

[snow fern]

Spears would be great in general, how come only Custodes get spears?

[sour hornet]

Not that crack grinding is bad per say

[opaque coyote]

"Bro it's been 3 hours. Why are you still polishing your sword."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP."

wipes even further

[sour hornet]

Spends 15 hours applying hair conditioner for a 5 minute duel

True slaaneshi grindset

Lesser beings can't comprehend

[snow fern]

Need more hair metal slannesh

[sour hornet]

There's a part in Brothers of the Snake by Dan Abnett where the Astartes use spears and shields to halt, then stab through the orks they are facing.

[snow fern]

Whatever happened to noise marines?

[rose thorn]

Emeprors spears use spears

And uh

[opaque coyote]

Noise Marines recently got back to their old design

[rose thorn]

Iron snakes

And dark krakens

And space wolves actually

My bad not the space wolves

The wolf spear

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/8/88/WolfspearPrimarisMarine9thEdition.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20201107183020

[snow fern]

Is all of space wolf naming convention just "The Wolf X"

[opaque coyote]

Yup

Fun fact

[rose thorn]

What about the blood fangs?

And

The fangs

Who all went to chaos

[sour hornet]

Wait could I as a csm just have a daemon chilling in me while I do my csm shit?

Is that lore accurate

[tough haven]

I wish they had more identity tied to actual norse culture besides "WOLF WOLF WOLF!"

[rose thorn]

Yes

[tough haven]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

Canonically in their own language, they actually have multiple words.

But the gothic translators were lazy and just translated them all to "wolf"

[snow fern]

Maybe they wouldn't have gone to chaos if they had wolf in their name

[tough haven]

lazy ass writing

[rose thorn]

Europeans playing to their strengths

[tough haven]

bet that was a retcon after backlash

[rose thorn]

Honestly yeah but also that happens irl all the time

It’s really funny

[opaque coyote]

Yeah this wayyy after the wolf thing came along.

So I think it was the writer basically taking the piss of themselves

[brisk agate]

Sigvald the magnificent enjoyer spotted

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it is pretty funny

..

Should still have different names tho

[brisk agate]

Look I'm saying

If sigvald was in 40k

[rose thorn]

It’s why google translate is so ass from going from English to any language

[brisk agate]

Man would have been stronger

[rose thorn]

Fulgrim

[sour hornet]

Bro he looks fucking majestic

[opaque coyote]

Chinese be like

"This 3 letter phrase actually means an entire paragraph"

[rose thorn]

His aos model is amazing

[opaque coyote]

[brisk agate]

Oh real

[brisk agate]

Isn't it just a dead body, or did they resurrect sigvald

[brisk agate]

Daemon Prince Sigvald the Magnificent?!?!?!?!

[rose thorn]

Slaanesh brought him back in the soul wars

[sour hornet]

majestic ass mf

[brisk agate]

Very nice

AOS LETS GOO

[rose thorn]

His ass cheeks are exposed on this model btw

[sour hornet]

???

Proof??? (Uh, for research)

[rose thorn]

Here’s on the official sight

Sit*

[sour hornet]

[rose thorn]

But I’d have to go get a picture

[snow fern]

bought to say Sigvald still has the assless chaps?

[sour hornet]

That is slaanesh's ass

[snow fern]

stay classy Sigvald

[sour hornet]

[brisk agate]

We're Slaanesh guys!
Of course we get the custom fitted golden sabatons and assless chaps!

[rose thorn]

I mean makes sense in his mind

He doenst need armor in the back

Because in his mind everyone will always be looking at his face

[sour hornet]

I knew I was correct in picking slaanesh over tzeentch

[rose thorn]

And facing him

[opaque coyote]

Honestly if I wasn't ass, I really want to draw one moment

Where Fulgrim fights Dorn

Lemme try getting the quote

[rose thorn]

I know the quote lmao

It’s great

[brisk agate]

I worshipped Tzeetch and all I got was be turned into a lord of change 🥺

[snow fern]

Time Magic

[soft thunder]

I'm a sucker for heavy plate wizard drip

[rose thorn]

That’s like a near impossible task you would have to get really lucky or basically a threat to the world lmao

[brisk agate]

Reality warping magic where the pink and blue horrors lob globs of magic missles that have a chance at turning anything it touches into butterflies

Or flowers

[brisk agate]

Yeeaahh

[snow fern]

Is he sitting on a rock posing?

[snow fern]

or still alive screaming piles of burning flesh ala "I have no mouth and I must scream"

[soft thunder]

I remember him being on a horse, but ya he's posing on a rock w/ a mouth lol

[sour hornet]

Both my darktide and my dark heresy characters are psykers, the only thing stopping me from picking tzeentch is that he'll 100% fuck you over if he ever thinks it'll be funny

[snow fern]

Warpflame is scary'

[brisk agate]

Love me abit of warp flame

[opaque coyote]

gonna post it anyways cause it's cool

[snow fern]

Tzeentch really do just let anybody die for any reason
"Just as planned" Tzeentch players must be obnoxious in TT"

[opaque coyote]

'Well,’ whispered Fulgrim, blood spattering out of his mouth. ‘What a mess.’ He straightened up, gore running from his torn face and broken plate. ‘It really failed, then? The Mournival plan?’ he asked.

‘It did. They are all dead.’

'Oh.’ Fulgrim smiled as much as his butchered face would allow. Teeth were visible through the slash in his cheek. ‘You do fine work,’ he said.

‘I wanted a scalp,’ said Dorn. ‘I wanted his head. Lupercal. But you came instead. A Traitor primarch. I’ll make do with you.’

'All these things you know,’ said Fulgrim. ‘So very able and informed. But there are things you don’t.’

‘Name one,’ said Dorn.

‘One,’ said Fulgrim. ‘I can’t die.’

He stared at Dorn. His wounds closed, the skin re-knitting without a scar. His dangling hand re-fused. His armour fixed itself and regained its lustre. His blood dried up, and blew away as dust.

‘Two,’ he said. ‘I am sick of all of this. All of it. The others can find a way to grind you down and bring your fortress low. I cannot die, but I feel the pain, and I won’t take any more of it.’

He sheathed his blade. His form began to grow, stretching its dimensions with an unearthly inner light. His legs fused like flowing wax, and he became, from the waist down, a gigantic serpent. The thick loops of his snaking lower body coiled out across the stonework, scales gleaming like mother-of-pearl. He rose up, his lammia-form towering over the Praetorian. There were scales around his eyes and cheek, and his tongue was forked.

Dorn stared back up. He did not take a step backwards, but his eyes narrowed and his grip on his sword tightened. There were no words for the impossibility of what he was seeing with his own eyes.

‘Three,’ Fulgrim said, no longer smiling. ‘I hope our father burns when the time comes. I hope Lupercal turns Him into a screaming corpse. But you won’t see that, Rogal. You’re the one who dies here.’

The Phoenician turned, and his huge form glided away towards the parapet. He surged off the edge. Black rose petals opened in the air, swallowed him, and vanished.

Dorn turned slowly.

They had formed a ring around him. Eidolon, Von Kaida, Lecus Phodion, Jarkon Darol, Quine Mylossar, Nuno DeDonna and fifty other gleaming warriors of the Emperor’s Children elite guard.

Dorn shook out his shoulders, and raised his sword and shield.

‘Try me,’ he said.

They rushed him.

[brisk agate]

Least it's a graceful defeat

"Tzeetch wanted me to lose this fight in his grand plaannn"

[snow fern]

I hear "try me" in TTS voice and

[soft thunder]

cope magic does psychic dmg

[sour hornet]

slaanesh is basically just "make it more interesting and unique" forever which is more straightforward as long as your chosen obsession is murder related

[snow fern]

I mean it always turns into murder related, but Slannesh is all about obsession and perfectionism, it's why he and Khorne fight over followers. Which god gets the soul of the worlds best duelist?

[sour hornet]

You can literally do everything right and Tzeentch will make you roll a d1 solely because kairos microwaved his hot pocket too long that day

neurotic patron fr

[snow fern]

Yah Tzeentch is an ass

[opaque coyote]

Slaanesh is more about the perfect stroke

Techniques and parries

Khorne just wants you to SHOVE AN AXE INTO THEIR FACE ALREADY

[snow fern]

Khornite warriors are still skillful martially

Just with much more screaming

[opaque coyote]

True but they don't care if they forget a part of the technique or didn't block perfectly

They just want to stab you

[sour hornet]

Slaanesh will make me glamorous though, khorne will have me frothing from the mouth because I decided not to slaughter the whiteshield children that one time

[snow fern]

Well that's the thing perhaps the duelist could tip either way, so the gods may try and influence them into a particular direction

[opaque coyote]

Basically if you duel against a Khornate warrior

They'll just stab you.

If you fight against a Slaaneshi Warrior.

They will humiliate you

And then once your spirit is broken

Kill you as painfully as possible

[snow fern]

The duelist takes on more and more duels for the glory of killing, or do they desire to prove no other swordsman is their equal

[spark hawk]

i miss when khorne was more about the honor of martial prowess and less "murder murder fuck you"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think it would be massively entertaining if Slaanesh and Khorne had to duel for particularly valuable followers

[snow fern]

Would make sense for why Khorne seems to hate Slannesh more than Tzeentch

[opaque coyote]

Similar to how Slaanesh has to play a game against Cegorach

[sour hornet]

Khorne used to have aura

smh for shame

[opaque coyote]

For Eldar souls that worship Cegorach

[snow fern]

A lot of the chaos god's "redeeming" qualities seem to have disappeared over time

[opaque coyote]

Arguably they never existed and it was just worshippers coping

Or they do but it's so infinitesimally tiny

[sour hornet]

it makes chaos less sensible

[opaque coyote]

That it barely matters

[sour hornet]

even the worst organizations typically had actual perks, that's how they entice people

[spark hawk]

i wonder how the slaanesh side of things will go once fulgrim comes back. and he will come back

[opaque coyote]

I mean isn't Fulgrim still alive? Just a daemon now

Sulking on his planet

[tough haven]

Thats the only reason I like him

[sour hornet]

Fulgrim is still gooning

[spark hawk]

you say sulking, i say neck deep in booty and drugs

[sour hornet]

give him a millennium

[spark hawk]

once he busts that space-time breaking nut, he's gonna go crazy

[snow fern]

Rylanor kicked his ass tbh

[sour hornet]

real

[opaque coyote]

Gooning to Guilliman and Yvarine fanfic

[sour hornet]

post-nut clarity after a 10,000 year gooning session is gonna give him clairvoyance

[snow fern]

Maybe they'll bring back daemonengine Perturabo with the intro of Vashtorr's faction, The Military Industrial Complex

[brisk agate]

Khorne when he honorably kills an orphanage

I think he was always like that, every chaos god is still on the surface level just like

Human desires

[spark hawk]

skill issue

[brisk agate]

But then you turn it up to 1000000

[snow fern]

Khorne does not care from where the blood flows

[brisk agate]

Khorne when he gets angry a daemon lord tried to stab in his back and not his front so he slaps him into the warp

[snow fern]

I think he just was angry at the fact Skarbrand tried

[brisk agate]

Khorne also when his Khornites throw babies into walls 😌

[snow fern]

like how dare you try to usurp me?!?!

[brisk agate]

How dare you ursurp me by STABBING ME IN THE BAXK

I had a whole ass arena setup and..

👏

[snow fern]

I think one of the more well known 40k authors basically described the chaos gods as "spoiled children" and the like

They play with their toys until they get bored of them and chuck them into an incinerator

[crystal forum]

i dont even think of them as sentient entities

they just act on basic instincts to get more power

[sour hornet]

Nurgle takes the longest time to get bored of his toys. Tzeentch takes the shortest, or the longest, or somewhere in the middle, whichever is funniest.

[snow fern]

If any of the chaos gods understand the concept of humor, it is probably tzeentch

[sour hornet]

Nurgle honestly seems like the worst god to me personally. Acceptance, depression and a fatalistic "fuck it, we ball anyways" are all within Nurgles wheelhouse, right?

[snow fern]

Perseverance, the cycle of life and death

[sour hornet]

So many people would fall to this guy immediately in our world.

[snow fern]

Not really depression, Nurgle numbs pain

[sour hornet]

Depression leads to doing anything to relieve it.

[plush mason]

most who turn to nurgle are those seeking mercy, most of them are ether sick and dying or have lost all hope

[snow fern]

I don't think any of the chaos gods care about depression beyond how a bully enjoys the torment of their victim

[opaque coyote]

It's less that Nurgle is the avoidance of depression

And more

Succumbing to it

[snow fern]

Unless there's like a slannesh daemon that makes everyone view their chances as so hopeless then just collapse and allow themselves to die

[opaque coyote]

And just giving up entirely on improving yourself as a human being

[sour hornet]

Relatable

[opaque coyote]

That would be nurgle

[sour hornet]

Real, true etc

[opaque coyote]

Nurgle is basically the God of depression and hopelessness.

His "joy" is entirely fake.

Remember that Isha didn't want to go to him

The death guards didn't want to go to him either.

He doesn't love you. Not truly.

He is basically the equivalent of a toxic family member

[distant sierra]

Plague and life to I think

[opaque coyote]

Literally

He is your toxic grandpa

[plush mason]

he is the most insidious of the 4, he comes to the lost and desperate and fills their heads with false promises of freedom and salvation from the pain

[crystal forum]

oops now you can never die

[opaque coyote]

It's quite fucked up that Nurgle literally created a Daemon that's made to get killed and feel heartbroken

[plush mason]

like i said, he is the most insidious of the lot

and could easily be said to be the most evil

ofc all 4 of the gods are completely evil

[opaque coyote]

Like the beast of Nurgle are basically just puppies in the body of a monstrous slug creature

And they turn into rotflies when they realize that their "playmates" don't want them

[mighty pine]

i will say it's pretty not false, it does stop pain and make you feel like part of a big happy family

even if mortarion refuses to mellow out

[opaque coyote]

The worst part is that it takes many years for this to happen. It's the equivalent to a puppy getting kicked in the tummy over and over again until they become a dog that constantly barks and is aggressive due to the amount of abuse it went through

[plush mason]

jut because i tell my livestock i love them doesnt mean im not raising them for slaughter and have no true attachment to them

[mighty pine]

insidious or not, all of the groups involve an insidious evil that involves lying to yourself to make yourself feel better. it's very much the point of 40k

[opaque coyote]

Nurgle literally made a creature as naive as possible just so that they can eventually become miserable

[plush mason]

all Nurgle's followers are is breeding farms for his diseases and insects

[mighty pine]

it's on par with saying "the emperor doesn't really love everyone", it's just kind of key to making it work

[plush mason]

ofc

[mighty pine]

everybody knows all the options are horrendous, nurgle's whole schtick is embracing those contradictions

[plush mason]

the problem is a lot of people ending up bying the lie

irl that is

[opaque coyote]

Mortarion literally got 3 shitty parental figures in his life

[mighty pine]

every single faction lies about every reason all the time, nurgle probably lies the least because he does all the things he says

[plush mason]

he lies the most, only real difference is Nurgle believes the lies himself

[mighty pine]

GW legitimately hates mortarion, dude hasn't had a win in 10k years

i mean he literally says that you'll be used to spread disease and be happy about it, it's pretty direct

[opaque coyote]

Firstly his first parental figure was a warlord that basically abused him

Secondly his second parental figure was the Emperor

No explanation needed

[mighty pine]

yes, and his 2nd was someone who refused to let him get the win against his initial shitty parental figure. it's just funny that he's also had back to back losses in every appearance since HH, with only a single recent exception

[plush mason]

he got his revenge on that one at least

found his soul in the warp

[mighty pine]

he didn't get any satisfaction out of it though, emps got the good bit

[opaque coyote]

And finally, Nurgle who he succumbed to unwillingly because Typhon decided to do some trolling

[plush mason]

Mortarion and Agron in the running for "most tragic Primarch"

[versed ledge]

So is a baneblade a mobile command vehicle, heavy tank hunter, bunker buster, or siege breaker?

[plush mason]

yes

[snow fern]

A baneblade is technically a scout tank

[versed ledge]

Yes indeed

[mighty pine]

i feel like angron wins that but morty is a v close second

[snow fern]

If the daot is to be believe

[plush mason]

its a super heavy tank so it can be used in a lot of ways

[versed ledge]

But being used alone is not one of them

[plush mason]

one variant of baneblade is even a titan hunter

[versed ledge]

The shadows word pattern? It's a scout class titan killer, no?

[snow fern]

Other than the extreme hearing loss, being a basilisk operator doesnt sound bad

[opaque coyote]

There was a fanfic about an alternative Heresy.

The Robutian Heresy I believe

And literally all that changed about Mortarion was that he actually got raised in a decent house hold for a nit

[plush mason]

no tank is if the situation is anything above bad

[opaque coyote]

Until the Warlord fucking murdered his entire village

[snow fern]

Let the suckers die for glory, I’m with artillery

[plush mason]

i hope those helmets have good ear protection

[versed ledge]

So in speaking of artillery, they are autoloading, right?

[plush mason]

i can easily see most imperial artillery men being near deaf

if not fully deaf

[opaque coyote]

Considering their ships aren't even autoloading

Probably not lmao

[mighty pine]

i feel like a lot of the issue with nurgle is that mortarion and the death guard are shown completely differently in each book they're shown in, especially HH (except garro and the other terrans)

[plush mason]

the image of the 1000s of serfs pulling a chain to open the macrocannon's breach is iconic

[versed ledge]

Arm day everyday then

[sour hornet]

At that point, does it even matter?

Doesn't really matter to the cows, they can't tell the difference.

[plush mason]

yeah but cows arent terminally ill people looking for a savior

Nurgle comes to those in their most desperate and tricks them into service

which makes him the most scummy of the 4 gods

[arctic talon]

The Mechanicus are generally the only imperial faction with autoloaders lol

Some marine chapters and inqusition ships have them

[plush mason]

and i bet both had to pay out the nose for them

[arctic talon]

but generally that shit is Serf loaded

or I guess

menial loaded

[plush mason]

menial serf samething afaik

just the serfs are the menials that serve a space marine chapter

[arctic talon]

either way that shit sucks

LOL

[plush mason]

yeah

and its not even in the top 3 worst jobs on a void ship :/

[sour hornet]

As apposed to?

Being worked to death in the name of some stale meat stuck to a chair for 10k years?

Oh, too depressed to work? Death, servitorization. Or torture, brutalization, and then being turned into a lobotomite.

At least nurgle has the decency to couch your fate in loving words.

[paper haven]

Yeah, you just gotta feed your husband to a giant rotting pig monster

(Reference to a short story)

[queen laurel]

OK then pledge to nurgle then

i dare you

[paper haven]

Chaos undivided tends to have the best results. If you're gonna go that route

[opaque coyote]

I also had the idea that

Perpetuals still do exist

They just are staying quiet

[paper haven]

Well, by definition they should right?

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

I was thinking of a Perpetual that basically lives on a planet. Acting as it's guardian pretty much

Because it was his home ever since he was born

And he will never abandon it

Not matter what

[radiant lance]

Is SM2 just dress-up for fascists?

just more proof the guard is better than space marines

[sour hornet]

Slaanesh gives me luscious hair and a winning smile, and there isn't anything more important than a dashing corpse

[queen laurel]

i see Hornsent

i did expect that for you though

[opaque coyote]

Honestly wonder how Chaos Undivided works exactly

You worship all of the gods right?

So how do you get things like "blessings"

Are they themed?

Can you summon Daemons that are affiliated with Chaos but not the 4

Do you like

Do a prayer to Nurgle one day and then Khorne the next?

[sour hornet]

least deranged miquella supporter

[shadow plover]

A follower of Chaos as a whole may also honour the lesser entities of the warp if they are more likely to help him.

Others view Chaos Undivided as a unified whole, the various powers as actually an aspect of one god. They may give their service to one god but are likely to never gain much favour with an individual power.  ```

Lexicanum had it written better than I would've managed to explain

...and this is on lore chat because...?

[celest dome]

Is he wrong though ?

[fallen plaza]

Doordash lore

[vernal sedge]

Stink mentioned

[fallen summit]

Are the legion of the damned even canon anymore?

I haven't heard anything about them in ages

[celest dome]

They still are

[fallen summit]

When did they last "do" anything

I swear it's been like

Idk, two? Editions now since they've been mentioned

[celest dome]

Think they're not getting Codexes anymore

[shadow plover]

didn't they show up in some conflict not too long ago

ah they were present at the Devastation of Baal

wasn't as recent as I thought

[arctic talon]

devestation of baal

[shadow plover]

could've sworn they had shown up in the past two years in some novel

or campaign book

[arctic talon]

probably

I'm not a big fan of LOTD

[queen laurel]

so wolf how do you feel about Khorne having 3 Legendary Heroes

[celest dome]

My grievances with CA's dlc team only grow

[queen laurel]

i'm a bit fuzzy on the details here but I'm pretty sure having more than one legendary hero is already a flex

[celest dome]

Skarr should have been a Dlc Lord
Scylla its LH
Skulltaker (and all 3 named Herald) should have been Flc lords

[queen laurel]

well seems the Greenskins are the one getting the short end of the stick anyway

[celest dome]

Throne of Decay:
Malakai should have been a LH, with Grimm Burloksson as LL
Should have introduced a Guild Master Lord (Engineer Lord)
Should have had Falk as an additional LH for Elspeth

[arctic talon]

I only really play skaven and wood elf’s in total war

So like

[queen laurel]

as expected you do not give a shit

[arctic talon]

I like shooting shit

What can I say

[queen laurel]

Ohh hell Nah you're the one spamming ikit doom rockets

[arctic talon]

Nah

Ratling gunners

And skaven slaves lol

[queen laurel]

the best type of meat shield

[queen laurel]

you don't play the other range armies?

i expected your empire and dwarfs to be up your alley

[arctic talon]

I play some empire

[celest dome]

Shadow of Change:
Changeling should have been a LH, he isn't leading a faction, he is having his own fun
Aekold would have been a good Flc LL or a Dlc one
Cathay I have my own problem that the dlc doesn't change
Kislev
Should have had Elder Hag as Lords
Should have had the Hag council

[arctic talon]

dwarfs are too slow

For me to enjoy them

I like cavalry as well

Dwarfs don’t have that

[shadow plover]

Chaos Dwarfs in the other hand

lots of fun to be had

[arctic talon]

Yeah chorfs having faster stuff

Makes them way more fun

[queen laurel]

average gameplay plan with greenskins is

i called this technique the steamroller

This army is not fast but I will absolutely roll you when I get to your position

[opaque coyote]

Waagh

Fanart concept of Chaos Tau

By u/misterpassenger

[sour hornet]

does anyone have the dark angels name generator?

I have the blood angels and Raven Guard ones, I just need the DA one

[crisp heath]

coolies 🙂

[rocky gale]

[fallen plaza]

I dunno how they managed to make the idea of chaos tau lame but they did somehow

[crisp heath]

i like the slaanesh one, just seems pretty out of the blue that they're all japan themed somehow. i guess whoever made them likes anime.

[rocky gale]

People always theme the Tau as Asian and Japanese because of their aesthetics

[celest dome]

Basically made them in Chaos Human but blue

[rocky gale]

The Slaaneshi one is the worst thing I've read in a while

[crisp heath]

i didnt read it but the idea of a slaaneshi doing diplomacy seems bad synthetic a priori

or any chaos entity really

maybe tzeentch if they can pretend to be normal

[rocky gale]

The blurb bit bellow talks about how they graft the genitals of other xenos to themselves so that they can "Understand other aliens races in a very intimate way"

[crisp heath]

oh haha

there was no need to write that down just for me
