It's a mark of boltgun that seems to be unique to the Retrubitors. Mandragora pattern.

But a small part of me is a bit unnerved by it

I had to look up bolter pictures to make sure I haven't been Mandela Effect'd

Genuinely prolly made in honor of the loyalist IW

But

It’s funny to joke about them being IW

storm jungle
#

Im extremely sure that was the joke wasnt it

like with the Minotaurs we do know they come from I.W stock

arctic talon

It’s unknown in universe

#

for some reason you can equip your heavy intercessor sergeant with a scoped heavy bolt rifle but only in the slung position. it's found nowhere else

arctic talon
#

But the creator wrote it that way

storm jungle
#

To be fair

arctic talon
#

So word of god vs what book says

storm jungle

when it was basically gonna be canon it basically doesnt matter

since Minos got like

# languid meadow emperor bless the silver skulls chapter of their heroic actions and saving that ...

"The Purging — (M41, exact date unknown) - Receiving distress signals from the planet Equinox, a small detachment of Silver Skulls arrived, with the aim of cleansing the planet of the influence of Chaos. They tirelessly swept through the city-states of Equinox one by one in a bloody massacre. The population, already halved by disease and starvation, was halved again and whole areas of city-states were used as mass graves. The Silver Skulls left as quickly as they had struck, fading to nothing more than a bloody memory in the collective consciousness of the survivors."

I also remember the Tau actually invited them Necrons for a party

#

Apparently it was like 3 days or something before the Necrons started massacring them

#

Which implies that the Necrons actually joined in for a bit

which is funny as fuck

actually that planet survived for a couple of more centuries before (spoilers for the Infinite and the divine) || a genestealer uprising happens because trazyn threw one at orikan the first time they were on that planet ||

the best part about that gun is that it's a combi weapon with a under barrel plasma gun

tough haven
#

I love how GW just adds models when a book comes out and hype is up for a character and then instantly after makes them legends to make peoples purchase worthless

#

thats why most non SM factions have so few epic characters

languid meadow
#

I don't remember but did the eldar get their phoenix lords remade yet

#

last I saw them they were... old

#

very old

arctic talon
#

But okay

#

The black library celebration minis are odd

arctic talon
#

Jain Zarr and Maugen Ra got remade

#

We’re getting more

languid meadow
#

sweet

arctic talon
#

Realistically I think the Black library celebration minis never should have gotten their own rules

#

The only ones with non legend rules are grandfathered in

arctic talon
#

They got one for each first founding chapter

storm jungle
#

Blood Angels alone got like how many now? lol

arctic talon
#

Also legends literally doesn’t fucking matter

#

Aside from tournaments

arctic talon
#

I think like 6 or 7?

storm jungle
#

jesus

arctic talon
#

Dante, Astorath, sanguinor, lemartes, corbulo, mephiston

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Space wolves had 12

#

At one point

arctic talon
#

Should have been your own codex

#

I guess lol

languid meadow
#

yeah space wolves be taking all the models

tough haven
#

idk why they even release models as legends instead of just balancing them for them to be used in all play

arctic talon
#

A lot of the factions with a fuck ton of epic characters are from a weird era

#

If GW

arctic talon
#

Celebration minis

#

If they weren’t limited run I’d agree with you

languid meadow
#

I wonder who has the least (excluding Nids)

#

they don't count

storm jungle
#

I think tau?

arctic talon
#

No

storm jungle
#

or orks maybe

arctic talon
#

Tau have a ton lol

storm jungle
#

lmao really

arctic talon
#

It’s gsc

#

They have 0

storm jungle
#

i enver noticed ngl

arctic talon
#

lol

#

Ever

#

Gsc has no epic heros

storm jungle
#

They do have that demolitionist who got a name for shadow throne and thats it

arctic talon
#

Unless you count the patriarch

languid meadow
#

honestly forgot GSC was even a faction

storm jungle
#

BRUH

languid meadow
#

oh yeah and Votann

arctic talon
#

Votann has the second least

#

At 1

languid meadow
#

lmao

fallen plaza
#

Anyone been getting this guy in there dms?

arctic talon
#

Admech had 2 ever

#

Lol

languid meadow
#

At least they are finally getting their book

arctic talon
#

But daedolus got genericified

#

Space wolves have the most epic heros

#

For an individual faction

#

Then it’s UM or craftworld eldar

#

And then prolly orks or tau

#

I’m counting ever

#

So I’m including legends

languid meadow
#

it's kind of weird that space wolves get so many named models, but I guess it's because the writers just like writing them (for better and for worse)

tough haven
#

admech has 2

arctic talon
#

Tau have: Aun'va, Aun'shi, Shadowsun, Longstrike, Darkstrider

tough haven
#

one is legends and is a servitor

arctic talon
#

3

#

if we count X-101

#

lol

tough haven
#

admech has cawl, and x-101

arctic talon
#

Daedolus, Cawl, X-101

#

I'm counting Daedolus

tough haven
arctic talon
#

even though he got genericized

#

He was a named character for admech

#

in 8e

languid meadow
#

Wait a fucking servitor is one of the 2 named admech models

arctic talon
#

#

its 3

#

I will kill you all

And yes

X-101 is from blackstone fortress

its just a really fucking beefed up combat servitor

Meh

I don't mind

tough haven

Im one of them

arctic talon

I'll grab the list

Give admech more robots gw

tough haven
#

like wheres my fucking faustinius legends model for mechanicus 2

#

or any of the mechanicus characters would be interesting

languid meadow

I was gonna say Im surprised that admech didn't get any models for mechanicus 2 but then I realized they're not space marines

tough haven
#

Wheres my UR-25 epic hero?

tough haven
#

but probably its never

languid meadow
#

I hope they release an admech/necrons box for its release

arctic talon

UR-025 is imperial agents

he was admech in killteam 1e

id use UR-25 because I love him if his datasheet wasnt so ass

Does slaanesh often "bleed" into other chaos worshippers?

#

like if a tzeenchian cultist enjoys zapping enemies to death is that technically double dipping into slaanesh?

tough haven
#

Man, I just really struggle writing chaos characters that arent just complete assholes, I dont necessarily want the comedically evil trope, though I do enjoy that

#

I was trying to write some that feel somewhat relateable, since usually chaos is like "Yeah I know the imperium is bad but we're also way worse"

green loom

paper haven
#

Never liked the Word Bearers

languid meadow
#

the only thing I really like about them is they're like the only legion still mostly intact from the heresy iirc

tough haven
#

Chaos is the one faction I have trouble relating to or wanting to win often, even out of a desire of seeing imperium cope. Cause their goals are just so horrific, its not even like "Man I hate the imperium, lets try to make something better" Like if you dont want to be a part of the imperium, just be a unaligned human faction. Oh wait, GW doesnt really do those

#

theres the severan dominate but I dont think theyve had anything going on for ages

languid meadow
#

Yeah we really need another human faction that isn't chaos or the imperium, GW wont make human tau auxiliaries sadly

#

(at least we go vespids recently)

tough haven
#

I know they dont need or want to take territory, but they could try to liberate people from tau empire and imperium

#

Like an underground railroad thing

languid meadow
#

the two things I really want to happen is a tau civil war with the enclave trying liberate worlds and the necron civil war expanded upon

tough haven

though we are getting more necron civil war

yeah that one felt almost too large to be ||an imperator titan||

honestly if anything would be that big out of the classes it would be that one

it is beautiful though

took me a couple run throughs of the mission to even notice it

I saw it instantly and gasped like a child pupper
It is also visible in one of the pvp maps

either way it's cool its even in the game in the first place

Fabius Bile did make some iirc

but sisters are unaltered no?

Yes

bold rampart

thats what i meant

celest dome

SM are also altered

But Sister do have Power Armour

Compared to other normal human

shadow plover

Sisters of Silence are probably the most capable unaltered women in the Imperium

#

they're just born as nulls

yeah i know space marines rae barely human or something

queen laurel

if we're going by peak human and don't include ones that wear power armor

Catachan would be it

bold rampart

true

multiple times in lore they have been called borderline abhuman with how strong and physically fit they are

they look pretty abhuman lol

something like tempestus scions would probs be up there too

as much of a meme Marbo is he is pretty fucking effective

saw that the average kasrkin is an absolute unit too

physically and stuff

shadow plover
#

Karskin were gene altered too, no?

#

like roided up and improved somehow

bold rampart
#

i dont think so?

#

maybe that

#

but the average recruit is like 6'6 or something

#

maybe 7ft

#

actually yeah they probably are roided

#

a healthy diet of faith and performance enhancing drugs

celest dome
#

Like Catachan Devils
Krieg Grenadier

#

Are you thinking of Gland Warrior ?

shadow plover
#

Pretty sure the Eisenhorn Xenos book stated the Karskin they're with went through some gene altering process to reach the absolute heights of their prowess

storm jungle
#

Yeah theres nothing in recent lore saying Kasrkin are gene-enhanced

#

it wouldnt make sense since their entire point is that they are the peak Cadians are capable of

Abnett just being Abnett again lol

bold rampart
#

idk

crisp heath
#

Dont know much about it outside America

rocky gale
#

There's also rumours of human settlements in the Veiled region but because the region blocks the Imperiums ability to travel and communicate it's not been confirmed

#

From looking at it, the only novel which explores that area is Hellforged, one of the Souldrinker books

onyx remnant
#

Time to world craft, it's gonna be a perfect springboard to transition into the other southern zones.

Other than that it's mentioned in the Dark Angel 6th edition codex and White Dwarf 477

Leverage, ability to wield larger weapons, etc

They are strong but their center of mass is not beneficial

What is with the xeno hatred in the Imperium? Where did it come from? Besides the Emperor's whole "humanity first" idea where did it originate?

#

Just wars?

#

Like Tyranids, Necrons, Orks etc obvious why they are hated

#

But what did the Eldar do? And by extension the Tau?

Like what was first contact and how did shit get so bad?

shadow plover
hasty coral
#

Well yes but what the Imperium come across the Eldar and vice versa, you're telling me they just started shooting each other?

shadow plover

the imperium's approach was pretty much "bend the knee or die" and when they didn't, war ensued

Did they encounter each other pre or post Hersey?

Do we know?

tough haven

Yeah I don’t think diplomacy was ever really an option presented

shadow plover

Eldar were known of during the heresy

hasty coral
#

I can't imagine the Emperor sees the Eldar and immediately declares war just because they don't want to join them. Considering the Webway project.

queen laurel
hasty coral
#

Like think tactically, what would be the point of war when the end goal of the Emperor is the psychic race shenanigans

shadow plover
#

think the wars with the eldar taught the emperor about the webway prior the heresy or something like that

hasty coral

Oh so war then Webway?

Because that would make more sense

Eldar deserve all the hate they get

hasty coral

What ARE the current plans of the Necrons?

storm jungle
#

Galactic dominance

#

each dynasty has their own goals

#

they arent unified

hasty coral
#

Do they have even the slightest regrets about well THE WARP INCIDENT???

storm jungle
#

Not really.

#

They are peak robochads, why would they care when they are such assholes

crisp heath

Necrons haven’t taken over the galaxy yet cause they are stupid

I mean some are

hasty coral

The Tau are slaves to a higher class

They don't really count

crisp heath
#

There is one character who is the worst

storm jungle
#

Not that much

crisp heath
#

His name is Erebus

storm jungle

Anyway there are necrons who are like

Trayzn is based though, at least he admits his people fucking suck but he just wants to have fun

Trazyn being nice to a human servant was kinda sick

Creed?

queen laurel
storm jungle

Hes just a general lol

hasty coral
#

How many years until the story actually meaningfully moves forward?

crisp heath
#

With years of experience fighting chaos

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

He could help out a lot if he was back

storm jungle

it took 30 years IRL for the story to move forward with Gathering Storm

#

Yeah but you forget the time frame in 40k

#

its so large the dates are in Millennia

#

aka 1000 years

hasty coral
#

Isn't it still the 41st millennium? Or are we on 42nd?

storm jungle
#

41 rn

queen laurel
#

yeah our characters are ******* dead either by surviving and dying somewhere else or by old age which is by my metric not a good chance

hasty coral
#

I feel I've heard hundreds of years have passed a LOT

shadow plover
#

officially 42nd but stuff is still released to be happened in 41st

hasty coral
#

While yes in different stories

storm jungle
#

pretty much

#

theres not really a set date

#

just a rough estimate

shadow plover
#

the great rift happened at the very end of 41st millenium so basically most of the stuff with the rift open is in the 42nd

its usually characters that got no models in books

Uh it was Arks of Omen

Actually that is a good point, are primarchs skin way more durable and resistant then regular people?

#

Like if a bullet hits them will it bounce?

#

Half of them don’t wear helmets lol

storm jungle

fulgrim survived getting blank-shot in the face by a bolter

crystal forum

most space marine characters dont wear helmets

crisp heath

I know a lot of people don’t like lorgar, was he actually ever cool?

hasty coral

The fucking bullshit the Primarchs and SM fell too is so BAD

queen laurel

wasn't one of the point of the lore is that you know since space wolves don't wear helmets a lot they get easily sniped

Literally giga mind steeled uber plus war vets genetically made from birth to be unflinching

Fulgrim is in a mirror

Or is a snake

Not sure

#

Both?

hasty coral

Bro a normal dude with a healthy mental attitude could resist Slannesh

No real way to make it better besides actually killing himself

onyx remnant
#

Your words now hold little meaning in the face of desire and greed, such is your nature.

crisp heath
#

And khrone just made it hurt worse

hasty coral
#

Mortarion is a bit of both, honestly his hatred of the Emperor kinda makes sense, even if he did lose, his like entire early life's purpose was handwaved for him by some dude he hated and now had to serve

crisp heath
#

He gave up to save his sons

#

Don’t be too hard on him

hasty coral
#

While true, shit was FUCKED

#

Nurgle is the one guy who getting corrupted by is ESPECIALLY bad shit

#

Bro is THE pain causer

#

If you don't serve him

#

That I understand

#

Even a war vet would fall to that level of fucking pain and rot

he's a dickhead the whole campaign

crisp heath

He’s a good chaplain

crystal forum

"i will kill you if i see any traces of chaos"

omg so cool

crystal forum
crisp heath
#

That’s what they do

crystal forum
#

read any space marine book with an actually good chaplain

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

chaplains aren't commissars lol

#

their job is to inspire their battle brothers and be an ear to confide secrets

#

all the chaplain does the entire story is make titus feel like shit, which does not help somebody's combat efficiency

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

what's your point

queen laurel
#

like he's used to this type of crap already

crystal forum
#

i dont understand how this explains the chaplain's actions

queen laurel
#

People find marines with bones attached to them cool

crystal forum

this still does not explain the chaplain's actions

queen laurel

hes essentially a drill sergeant

do drill sergeants make you feel good about yourself? lol

queen laurel
#

You expect a super soldier that while strong should not survive direct contact to the warp for a prolonged time to be not suspicious?

hasty coral
queen laurel
#

don't forget in the first game titus didn't even have special gear when he make contact with the warp

hasty coral
#

In the eyes of Titus and the ultramarines

#

You aren't supposed to go tattle to the inquistion after a dude saves your fucking life

#

That's cringe

#

I don't care what you think is "right" your cringe

queen laurel
hasty coral
crystal forum
#

which he is

queen laurel
#

well yes what leandros did was definitely not good

#

A space marine that is exposed to pure warp energy and coming out fine is a bit suspicious

hasty coral
#

Also the Imperium isn't THAT scared of the Warp, they use psykers daily, his resistance would at most be a call for the Grey Knights

crystal forum
#

in the end whether it's by stupidity or incompetence, leandros just doesnt do his job properly

hasty coral
#

Especially after being witnessed piledriving a massive chaos plot

queen laurel
#

If the marines decided him to be a chaplain is good enough then let him be a chaplain they said

storm jungle
#

you are just expecting logic out of literal awful people again

surreal nest
#

chaplains are literally just redditor hall monitors

queen laurel
#

yeah uh you're talking about super soldiers here who are literally raised in war

#

common sense isn't something they have

#

most of the time

hasty coral
#

Like I'm sorry but there is no way the Imperial guidelines says that if a war hero survives the warp that you call the Inquistion, ESPECIALLY a Space Marine of Titus's standing, the Grey Knights would be called

#

Titus was literally HIM

surreal nest
hasty coral
#

No but seriously are the Grey Knights gonna show up or?

queen laurel
hasty coral
#

I feel Titus warrants attention from them

#

Two massive Warp anomalies thrawted by him in close range

#

Still unphased

#

What do we think he is anyways?

#

It seems to be implied he is indeed unique

surreal nest
#

Nothing, he's an ultramarine named character and he has faith. That's his character

hasty coral
#

Right mb for assuming it would be interesting

surreal nest
#

Nobody wants a scene where there is a formal investigation from higher ups about his main character syndrome lmfao what

crystal forum
#

it's noted several times that his resistance is abnormal

surreal nest
#

Yeah and it gets chalked up to him being very faithful and loyal

crystal forum
#

the games wouldn't be pointing it out if it was just main character syndrome

hasty coral
#

More like "Hey there is actually a reason besides you are special, not just that you are a named character"

#

To at least PRETEND the writing isn't hamfisted

#

Like they don't even TRY to not do the named character shit

surreal nest
#

It literally is just warhammer writing, faith can withstand chaos

hasty coral
#

Yeah, its boring

#

And its lazy

crystal forum
#

i dont think this is true for titus

#

i think GW has something planned for him

hasty coral
#

Forgive me for not liking the named character excuse

queen laurel
hasty coral
#

Well one of them is an Ork SOOOOOO

crystal forum
#

not even a particularly big one

hasty coral
#

Still an Ork with their bullshit

#

If other Orks think he is cool enough

crystal forum
#

he starts off the game killing a baneblade and it only ramps up from there

queen laurel
#

it's just game protagonist syndrome

crystal forum
#

and bigger warbosses

hasty coral
#

I'm aware of what it is, its still dumb

crystal forum
#

it's just gameplay

#

but i still think titus is different

hasty coral
#

They could at least TRY to not do it everytime a character just ignores the lore

surreal nest
#

He isn't ignoring the lore. Canonically faith is a shield against chaos. he just has a lot

hasty coral
#

Well for stuff like Darktide whatever, I would like an explanation, but I'm fine without it

crystal forum
#

faith alone isn't the only thing

#

it's a lot of willpower

#

plus faith can be used against characters

#

a lot of demons just say they're the emperor
