@opaque coyote what is ur pfp bro

Imagine if a titan worked like a dreadnought

queen laurel
small grail
#

No like don't they have multiple people in them?

#

The princess and then like the crew

small grail
#

Princeps

queen laurel
#

when they get too damaged or something

#

their bodies literally falling apart you know stuff like that

small grail
#

No no I meant like how a dreadnought is just like his broken body and him in the sarcophagus

#

Just imagine if they put those damaged marines into titans

#

Imagine the amount of life support they'd need

opaque coyote

And essentially sort of

#

Become part of them

Just called in honor of him ig

crystal forum
#

warmaster is a general title. there's still people who are warmasters in 40k

small grail
#

But...didn't he like betray the imperium and allat...and was widely hated

crystal forum
#

it's being in charge of a whole crusade

small grail
spare osprey
#

Yeah like Jay said, just a term at the end of the day

queen laurel
# small grail Ain't the guy controlling have a full body

yeah but it really doesn't matter having a full body when it gets obliterated so they need to put the princep somewhere, and Princeps especially on the larger Titans are hard to find so if they get too hurt but they like you know still can think or you know have the ability to use their brain they're putting a type of tank for the Titan

#

like if all of their limbs got blown off

fallen plaza
small grail
#

Ph

queen laurel
#

just shove them inside the tank and put it on the titan and there we go

crystal forum
#

i distinctively remember there being a warmaster in charge of the sabbat crusade in the tanith books

small grail
#

So when thy lose their arm they actually lose it in the cockpit as well?

#

Like function

spare osprey
#

I mean the way the planet died alone

queen laurel
crystal forum

it is quite literally happening at the end

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

since it ends at the same time horus dies

Sometimes though they suffer some accident or are too physically weak to pilot it so they are put in a type of tank

spare osprey

#

The one kinda titans I never liked where the ones with the churches on their back like why

queen laurel
#

so that they can still pilot it

small grail
#

What's the titans with the churches on their backs called again?

The dark angels open every single vox link, and they have all of their pyskers chanting

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

campaign books are sooo long

spare osprey
#

Yeah no there’s a whole battle between the thousand sons and the word bearers underground

queen laurel
#

the thing is that infantry can sneak past its shields and blow it up

small grail
#

But wasn't there one that was like way bigger

opaque coyote
small grail
#

It was called abominatus or something right,

opaque coyote
#

Which honestly fits them perfectly

storm jungle
#

people just got no idea how big these buildings are

spare osprey
opaque coyote
#

LARGER

small grail

Kinda sometimes wonder how deadly the castigator wud be

The wish to buy a reaver is strong

I want a mini of them damn

spare osprey

then we never hear of the dies irae from first person perspective again, it's become the enemy so we only see the effects of its bombardments

Warhounds are the smallest titans I know

I was so wrong

It's like calling them a slur

Idk if a berserker is gonna understand many of the insults thrown at them lol

I'm just imagining some Guardsman accidentally mistaking a Khornate Marine for a Slaaneshi one

spare osprey
small grail
#

Very very confused how he does it

#

I know prosthetics are a thing but like damn

spare osprey
#

Honestly them mechanics in warhammer can get ya far

#

There was a marine in the heresy who was almost entirely metal cause his gun literally killed his body when he used it

#

Sounded like a Dalek

small grail
#

Iron warriors moment

spare osprey
#

Dark angels actually

#

His men call him a glorified servitor

Wait what? Weren't ferruses sons heavy into prosthetics

Iron warriors and iron hands alike yup

But the dork angles just be doin whatever

Which is the worst fate to suffer in yalls opinion in the 40k verse

suicide via plasma gun is your best option

Cant revive you if theres nothing left

#

Remember that the Eldar created Slaanesh

spare osprey
#

In a way ya

tough haven
#

Or nurgle if you arent a nurglite

#

Maybe becoming a chaos spawn if youre consious?

crystal forum
#

there is no limit to the horrors that could be inflicted onto you if a chaos entity wants you to suffer for some reason or another

spare osprey
# spare osprey In a way ya

I just mean like, eldar make slaanesh, slaanesh fucks em up, dark eldar become super fucked to not get taken by slaanesh. I just imagine a chaos god could do worse to you

tough haven
#

True, Deldar do have some limits

#

tech and ability wise

#

Servitorization is still imo one of the worst fates

#

Someone should make a lore accurate probability wheel for imperium apologists to spin to see what theyd actually be

#

exceptionally small chance of being rogue trader/nobility/space marine

#

and also to show what your fate would be ultimately

#

that would be fun

tough haven
opaque coyote
tough haven
#

I guess gue'vesa and non imperium options would be on there

#

it would just be what would you likely be as a human if you got put in the world

opaque coyote
#

Coalesced into one slice

tough haven
#

Actualyl can someone make that

opaque coyote
#

Also it depends on where you live

tough haven
tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Like if you're in a Mechanicus planet the Servitor chance increases a lot

crystal forum
#

make what

opaque coyote
#

A pi chart that tells your chances of becoming what in the Imperium

tough haven
#

doesnt have to be just imperium

crystal forum
#

a pi chart would be useless for that. it would be too hard to tell the slices

tough haven
#

like if you randomly got shunted into a random human in 40k

tough haven
crystal forum
#

you have more chances of winning the lottery than being an important imperial if we go by the fact that there's trillions of humans

tough haven
#

it would be a digital tool to spin it

tough haven

and it might be a fun thing to do with your friends

The 'Dark Prince'

dusk patrol

But if it is, I’ll die on that cross

in reality he has no gender but hes been referred to as a guy for so long it basically doesnt matter

queen laurel

The visuals are what made it

It’s a very generic story though besides that

It follows the basic formula of a shooter game, which i get. I thought the story was good, as a 40k novice

I'd have to be deadpool for that

Sm2 is fun but it's missing something. I'm sure the planned upcoming content roadmap will improve the overall experience

It’s got some stuff to iron out

small grail

Genuine question

winter vessel
#

I'm just glad we didn't have another Leandros situation with Titus' new guys, i would've rolled my eyes on that

dusk patrol
#

Idk they can always add more stuff

wintry scarab
dusk patrol
#

It’s good, it’s just not an amazing story writing wise

#

If you don’t like or care about 40k this ain’t gonna win you over but I think it’ll make a lot of fans who jive with it

#

And please existing fans

small grail
#

If they add like a lore compendium or something where u cud go to like different crucial events in the imperiums lifespan...that wud be cool but complicated

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

It does need a codex too

wintry scarab

Don't get me wrong, I liked the game a lot. I just feel like the pvp is bare. As for the campaign / coop it just need polishing

I've yet to step into the PVP ring, i've only watched videos of it

I’ve played SM1 recently, it really wasn’t even visually special for the time

it gets that job done at least it

which isnt a bad thing

I love seeing people malding at how hard sm2 is, sorry to ruin your space marine power fantasy, but your still mortal and if you get shot a bunch you still die

dusk patrol
#

Eh it was ok, I’d say this one is an improvement on every front, especially visually

queen laurel
#

it's the multiplayer where space marine two wins out on

small grail
winter vessel
storm jungle
#

but people circlejerking the campaign like its some next level storytelling is a bit weird

arctic talon

The games a 7 or 8/10 when spacemarine 1 was like a 5 or 6/10

Imo

dusk patrol

SM1 was part of that era where everything was brown and grey

thats it

rose thorn

honestly it figures he would become a chaplain with how much he cares about the Codex Astartes. Novamarines would love to adopt him

Neurothrope

winter vessel

I half expected this thing to show up in the game

the lack of nids sucks

dusk patrol

Helbrute you can dodge much easier and it has a lot more “stunned” animations

arctic talon

They are a new enemy, it’s just a fucking mini gun rubric

SM2 feels like a halo2 situation. Where it was rushed but somehow came out pretty good. I just hope they dont pull a darktide and take 2 years to add a new enemy or some shit.

And they do like a fourth to a third health damage to most mini bosses

arctic talon

There’s more nids then csm shit

#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

A fourth health to the Tyrant

arctic talon
#

I soy’d when I saw a venom cannon nid

Most of the "new content" is DLC packs and cosmetics

im gonna be surprised if they even stick to the map

I would like more proper boss fights like the Hive Tyrant

Like 3?

Can you choose your side in pvp? I've been on chaos side for 100% of my games

arctic talon
#

But one of them is 50/50 between nids and csm

Can't even use my custom marines

now if only a tyranid Heirophant was in the game

I also like during the campaign that the multiplayer stuff is arguably the more interesting plot going on to help Titus

arctic talon
#

It’s in a lobby system

small grail
#

How good or bad are hellbrutes

arctic talon
#

Once you’re on a side you’re on it

arctic talon

#

Like assassinating the Hive Tyrant

arctic talon

Also they teleport

The hive tyrant fight is great

Yeah

small grail

I wish they showed off the shadow in the warp's effects more, just in general

Can’t wait for lethal difficulty

Dude, I need a siege type mission where we hunt down a bio titan

#

Just hitting it with tons of bullshit over the course of a 40 minute mission

arctic talon
#

Also the guardsmen not being literally useless like they were in the first game is nice

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

They can actually kill shit

dusk patrol
#

They do some work

crisp heath
#

They kill shit well

winter vessel
#

that was very nice, yes

crisp heath
#

As long as it ain’t warriors

dusk patrol
#

I still barely saved any at all despite my best efforts but

winter vessel
#

they don't have the handicap of standing idle as much

arctic talon
#

Ngl it’s impossible to save them in some fights

#

The astropathic relay defense

When will SM2 let you fight a Norn Emissary

arctic talon

I feel like Titus gets cooked

crystal forum

when are we killing a queen

arctic talon

Lol

crisp heath

So I don’t know much about the tyranids

tough haven

Yeah like nids have a lot of variety

winter vessel

Are the warriors their comparative space marinesv

Norn queens are in the ships

About 2 warriors is equal to a marine in lore

Depending on like

The situation

crystal forum

On Tabletop though Tyranid Warriors deploy in squads of 3 or 6

queen laurel

A Tyranid prime

#

Shits on the average marine

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

The hive guard or whatever r

crisp heath
#

Obviously not Titus whatthefuck_heresy (ignore me getting absolutely bodied by a swarm of 4 of them

arctic talon
#

Hive guard are the true marine equivelent yeah

#

Big shoulder pads and all

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

Warriors are odd

#

They’re marine equivalents in someways

#

But they’re more like sgts. For gaunts

#

Lore wise

rocky gale
#

Yea for the Gaunts they act as a relay for the Hivemind

arctic talon
#

Like they’ll be keeping the synapse up

#

More so then being shocktroops

winter vessel
#

the nid mechanic reminds of Halo's classic approach with the Covenant squads. deal with the Splitjaw, and then the alien cones start scattering

queen laurel

#

The synaptic backlash effect is cool

queen laurel
#

just two of these guys

crisp heath
#

Erm, why don’t they marines always just kill the big tyranids and all the little ones die

arctic talon
#

Because

#

It’s hard

crisp heath
#

Boom

#

War saved

arctic talon
#

That is also a valid strat

#

But synaptic backlash

#

Doesn’t work how it’s depicted

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Exactly

tough haven
#

that effect is cool

#

some of them jsut die

crisp heath
#

I wish there was something like that for the chaos dudes

winter vessel
#

it gives some breathing room

arctic talon
#

Synaptic backlash doesn’t always kill the little ones

tough haven
#

but for the most part they just stop working together or with any sort of cohesion or goal

arctic talon
#

And they’ll like

crisp heath
#

Cause fuck fighting those guys

arctic talon
#

Still chew you to death

tough haven
#

but they dont really use tactics

arctic talon
#

But the cultists explode into the fucking pfojectiles

rocky gale
#

Yea it usually just causes the little ones to revert to being feral beasts

arctic talon
#

Which is really fucking funny

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

The synaptic effect in game is like worst case scenario backlash in lore

tough haven
#

the tactic for nids is to have some of your men hold off the waves of small ones, and have specialized units pick off any synapse units

arctic talon
#

It just fires the gaunts brains

tough haven
#

as quick as possible

arctic talon
#

Also there’s gaunt varients

#

Who can carry the synapse effect

rocky gale
#

Neurogaunts

crisp heath
#

Nids somehow suffer the worst backlash ever

arctic talon
#

Neurogant nodebeasts

crisp heath
#

Cause we’re blue

arctic talon
#

And also there’s the “crown” thingy

#

That the Nids started using in octarius

paper haven
#

Just killed the Neuroguant.

Also, anyone else feel like some of the colour choices for legions/chapters are just really strange? Like i swear this is not the colour of iron warriors.

Also I no longer believe the hivemind is not malicious

ah its just an upgrade

That’s not a trap card

arctic talon
#

That’s a 1400 attack vanilla beat stick

rocky gale
crisp heath
#

Cause I heard a story of one bio form hunting a great charismatic leader of a planet and leaving him alive instead of making him a matter to turn him into a babbling terrified shell of his former self

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crisp heath
#

That’s malicious as hell

arctic talon
#

Death leaper did that

small grail

Who's the raven primarch like the very pale dude

paper haven
# arctic talon That’s not a trap card

I misspelled it on purpose to see if someone would correct me, yes that is exactly what I did. I did not forget what the thing was called no sir it was all part of my plan

Cadians don't sit at the top of my list for favorite guard regiments, they're vanilla. But I gotta give props for the speech delivery the VA did.

I think Corvus is kinda cool

Always got confused with him and confad

Conrad

Konrad is psycho batman.
Corvus is emo poetry boi

crisp heath

Don’t worry, Conrad wouldn’t let you mix it up again

Corvus is the ravenguards primarch right?

He’s Konrad is literally just the worst

Conrad went out so badly tho

paper haven

it's also spelled konrad because warhammer

crisp heath

He went out to prove a point

small grail

Blud said I know I'm gonna die and I accept it

Only problem is that he did everything in his power to make that happen.

crystal forum

he also sucks

small grail

Yea

tough haven
small grail

I'd say he's one of the most hated primarch

crystal forum

he thought he'd do a socrates

small grail
#

To this day I won't know who Alpharius really was

paper haven
#

Like: "Oh man, the punishment for treason is death I guess I gotta do a treason to prove I was right."

small grail
#

Cuz everyone is Alpharius in his legion

arctic talon
#

Alpharius is

#

A corpse

#

Omegons alive

paper haven
#

I seriously doubt Alpharius is dead and- hear me out-

#

Primarchs can be cloned

crystal forum
#

no they cannot

#

not fully

small grail

But like into a whole legion? No way

It doesn't have to be perfect

crystal forum
#

fabius bile

paper haven
#

If any legion would use cloned primarchs to do missions, it would be the Alpha legion

crystal forum
#

he also cloned horus

#

but all the clones had no souls

#

which in warhammer means weak af

tough haven
#

I thought clonegrim had a soul?

paper haven
small grail
#

Did the fulgrim clone survive?

paper haven
#

That's my theory

tough haven
#

so kinda

#

its just a statue effectively

small grail
#

Didn't he exhibit old fulgrims qualities like slowly

plush mason
small grail
#

Why did fulgrim go bad bro I don't get it still

paper haven
#

As far as I know, clones have the memories of the original.

#

In the story where Alpharius died, he had memory issues.

crystal forum
tough haven
paper haven

Woke up in a box with no idea who he was.

crystal forum
#

not my favorite HH book but it's an important one

tough haven

bro didnt take it to an artificer first

paper haven
#

Ergo: He was a clone.

crisp heath
#

Were there any nightlords that weren’t just sadistic monsters just for the fun of it?

paper haven
#

Same thing with when Guilliman killed Alpharius. Clone.

hallow plover

Fulgrims fall fucking sucks from a story telling perspective

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

The nightlords trait in heresy

crisp heath
#

What about when rogal killed alpharius? Also clone?

arctic talon
#

Is literally to gang up on people

#

And kick them while they’re down

arctic talon
#

Alpharius is dead

dusk patrol
#

That’s why the hive mind made hive guard and other bigger forms to protect the synapse creatures

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Incredibly fucking dead

arctic talon
#

UM have no record of the fight with omegon

tough haven
#

in sm2 do they ever show the really horrifying nid weapons?

arctic talon
#

It’s most likely a fabrication

paper haven
arctic talon
#

If the author says it’s the real Alpharius

crystal forum
#

it's funny because fulgrim's personality barely changes after being corrupted

arctic talon
#

It’s the real fucking alpharius

crystal forum
#

he just seeks even more perfection

paper haven
arctic talon
#

Alpharius being dead doesn’t even change anything

crisp heath
#

So is omega still alive then?

arctic talon
arctic talon
crisp heath
#

The twin

arctic talon
#

He’s the living twin

paper haven
#

The legion not reacting to his death is another reason why I don't buy it.

arctic talon
#

There’s legionaries pretending to be Alpharius

plush mason
arctic talon
#

And then he gives a shattered knife to Horus

crisp heath
#

I always thought alpha and omega legion lore was stupid ngl

arctic talon
#

It’s pretty obvious he’s saying the Legion is shattered after the death of Alpharius

hallow plover
paper haven
#

The death of a primarch can be felt by the entire legion and has serious consequences. All we saw was Omegon being a little sad.

It’s not up for debate he got his fucking head sawed off

He was probably paid of by alpharius

Idk

tough haven
paper haven
#

Ah, then it was a very anti-climactic death for a primarch.

arctic talon
#

I guess?

#

It kind of fits alpharius

crystal forum
#

so there's 3 fully confirmed dead primarchs right

arctic talon
#

Going out in such a benign way

tough haven

primarchs are anticlimactic in general

storm jungle

That whole story felt off to me.

crystal forum

i forgot horus and sang im dumb

storm jungle

yeah the "dead" ones im mentioning are also the daemon primarchs as well who got banished

they are literally sitting to see the fight
