It's a pretty cool addition
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

nerd
tbh it works, since the shape of a bolt round is mostly cylindrical save the tip.
slightly curved
it literally isnt
mine is straight
"Slightly curved."
like a missile
There's a good pre-servitor.
i also cut off the scope of one
I love the bolt rifle without the scope
I just joined a Operation at the hive tyrant fight as a heavy and all i did was stay in a corner and unload all my ammo
it looks so much better
...add a reflex sight to it

intercessors all having scopes is dumb looking
the multi melta is crazy good for decap it's not even funny
also
NO
No please
Wdym you’re of the silver skulls chapter
Must resist making a ferrus manus joke
IT'S BULLPUP TIME
Don't lose your head OVEERRR IT FUCK

HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH 
emperor bless the silver skulls chapter of their heroic actions and saving that world

Genuinely prolly made in honor of the loyalist IW
But
It’s funny to joke about them being IW
Im extremely sure that was the joke wasnt it
like with the Minotaurs we do know they come from I.W stock
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
But the creator wrote it that way
To be fair
So word of god vs what book says
when it was basically gonna be canon it basically doesnt matter
since Minos got like
no lore that isnt FW

Minos are funny as shit
"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."
just a lil trolling
lol
also man ngl
i think im gonna get that 13dmg sword for bulwark since i got a artifice scrip
then stop playing bulwark
goddamn its such a clunky class
"Hurrah, the Angels of the Emperor came to save u-"
blam BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
FLOOOOOOMMMMM
Their fortress monastery is literally called Argent Mons or something
I was making the joke when trayzn saved a world, and the locals thought his warriors and immortals were space marines of the silver skulls chapter
they even made a statue of the guy
tbf heavy is not very good compared to the other classes
Heavy is very good
I try to play all the classes atm so I can get them all to max level
Multi melta
the perks are shit
since I got very annoyed at my mains being taken and being forced to play a low level class
the multi melta is the only good thing
oh yeah and then immediately bombed the planet cause of heresy
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 ||
Imagine an Immortal fucking break dancing
great book I recommend it
same with twice dead king
necron books are pretty good
"Hey nice party and all and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but uhh... we're gonna kill you all"
I find it funny that bullpup bolters were a thing in lore
i like how because bolters are already so short the bullpup design makes them longer lol
backwards evolution
the best part about that gun is that it's a combi weapon with a under barrel plasma gun
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
I don't remember but did the eldar get their phoenix lords remade yet
last I saw them they were... old
very old
That’s literally not true, they came out as legends. But we can spread misinformation
But okay
The black library celebration minis are odd
A few of them
Jain Zarr and Maugen Ra got remade
We’re getting more
sweet
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
SM epic characters are bloated from 8e primarily
They got one for each first founding chapter
Blood Angels alone got like how many now? lol
What being non codex compliant does
I think like 6 or 7?
jesus
Dante, Astorath, sanguinor, lemartes, corbulo, mephiston

I was misinformed it appeared
yeah space wolves be taking all the models
idk why they even release models as legends instead of just balancing them for them to be used in all play
A lot of the factions with a fuck ton of epic characters are from a weird era
If GW
Because they’re limited run
Celebration minis
If they weren’t limited run I’d agree with you
I think tau?
No
or orks maybe
Tau have a ton lol
lmao really
i enver noticed ngl
They do have that demolitionist who got a name for shadow throne and thats it
Unless you count the patriarch
honestly forgot GSC was even a faction
BRUH
oh yeah and Votann
lmao
Anyone been getting this guy in there dms?
At least they are finally getting their book
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
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)
admech has 2
Tau have: Aun'va, Aun'shi, Shadowsun, Longstrike, Darkstrider
one is legends and is a servitor
admech has cawl, and x-101
Wait a fucking servitor is one of the 2 named admech models
3
its 3
I will kill you all

And yes
X-101 is from blackstone fortress
its just a really fucking beefed up combat servitor
I feel so bad for admech players
Im one of them
I just want more cult mech stuff
me too
Space wolves had a lot
of fucking named characters
one moment
I'll grab the list
Give admech more robots gw
like wheres my fucking faustinius legends model for mechanicus 2
or any of the mechanicus characters would be interesting
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
Wheres my UR-25 epic hero?
Im praying its once it comes out
but probably its never
I hope they release an admech/necrons box for its release
btw why do rippers in SM2 literally have 3 polygons, they do not look like rippers at all, they deadass look like rats

GW in general used to take forever to capitalize on a game
I mean, look how long they took to bring back old world
id use UR-25 because I love him if his datasheet wasnt so ass
for the list of space wolf epic heros: Canis Wolfborn, Harald Deathwolf, Njal stormcaller, Ragnar blackmane, Ulrik the slayer, Wolf Lord Krom, Lukas, Egil Redfist, hengiest ironaxe, Arjac Rockfist, Beoric winterfang, MURDERFANG, Bjorn the fellhanded
I know old world is "new" but like they missed out on making kislev and cathay an actual faction
Wolf sweep
There was one unreleased one too
the post was fact checked by true fenris patriots
I forgot his name but he could turn into a wolf
But only his non wolf model was completed
Eldar are like 10
Oh
I know who you're talking about
Wasn't the wulfen version
supposed to be like
whatever
reading these names alone gives me cancer
One of these names are not like the others~
bro got lost on his way to nocturne
may as well have a guy named Wulf Wolfcock at this point
I bet no one would notice it too
the worst part is
people like this exist
VULFBAD
GET IT
I do hope GW embraces their viking/norse side more since I really like space wolves as a faction
11 if we include the 3 versions
They do that in 30k
of fucking The Red Gobbo
40k less so
Tbf
wolves were like
always wolf circlejerk
in 40k
I do hope they uh
tone it back a bit
but 
Also some of the 30k Space Wolves minis
LOOK FUCKING HIDEOUS
Forgeworld
and fur
do not mix
wolf helmets
to be fair
LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
those wolf helmets existed since like the 90's
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
their concept art goes back that long lol
Hmmm potato chip fur....
these and the praetors
are the only good looking 30k wolf minis
everything else is dogshit
oh also Russ
the fucking wolf mk6
Oh yes I know the name now of the unreleased character
Bran redmaw
ngl the wolf skull helmets go hard asf
ngl
the wolf helmets aren't terrible
spread out
But an entire squad of it is
odd
Idk man
one as a squad leader is cool
what's the model that has a combined like 20 wolves and wolf symbols on it
@arctic talon
next edition 
Deciever and Nightbringer
are so bad
transcendent c'tan is fine
I mean emps children might as well be confirmed so like the clonegrim cope is back on
do you think fulgrim fucks
Clonegrim is fridged
100%
is he good at it tho
i bet he expects you to do all the work
he seems like the type of dude to do that
Why are we discussing the obvious
jokes aside
I don't even think it would intrest Fulgrim
at this point
This is the correct answer
most emperors children or slaneesh worshippers probably have any interest in sex
Probably.
Snakebro had a bunch of wives pre-snakification.
They never divorced him and all died of old age.
stop falling for the shitty GW excuse for no tiddies
gosh darn it
Making a being a 'god of excess' and shying away from one of the largest human excesses is
It just gets fucking boring
like oh im too good for sex
but I don't think Fulgrim is
BULLSHIT
Doesn't make it not likely
The only way I can feel anything anymore is by snorting the tears of an extinct species while freebasing 6 different drugs and skinning orphans
you havent seen the levels of depravity i have
I'd say my counter but it would get me muted 
fulgrim is right down there
fulgrim is a freak
fulgrim's kink list is:
yes
this image can be taken several ways
It is up to the viewer to interpret it
i don't like that
the urge to collect a custodes army is stifled by them being mega short
and they are prob not gonna get a refresh anytime soon
A printer is your friend
it's your friend as well zimmer
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?
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"
They all bleed into each other sometimes
Never liked the Word Bearers
the only thing I really like about them is they're like the only legion still mostly intact from the heresy iirc
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
Death guard too.
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)
I would love to have farsight enclaves be more prevelant, to like actually do things
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
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
true
though we are getting more necron civil war
I hope we get more tau auxiliaries in model form
me too
Guys I just ate the emperor
How’s he taste?
Could you imagine some slaneesh worshipper getting into the throne room and just taking a bite out of him like the universes oldest piece of beef jerky?
And then refusing to elaborate and leaving
Kinda zappy
‘Nids when there’s a big glowing beacon and they’re hungry
Me explaining to the remaining Tyranids why I had to eat the hivemind because I'm bulking
The bio-titan looking down at it's legs to see me nibbling on them
They’re just another form of crustaceans to me. It’d be like eating giant Crawfish
All crustaceans taste the same
So I think it would be weird if tyranids have all the same flavours
What if the Tyranids are just bulking for the local Hivemind competition
They're competing against The Flood

(space marine 2 stuff)
Hello big guy
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
but yeah it's way bigger than official heights for them
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 
It is also visible in one of the pvp maps
thats about right?
they stand at 55m tall ish, aboutt he same height as the statue of liberty's base to torch
it might be a tad tall but not dramatically so
imperators are also hella wide, theyre built a lot more square than lady liberty
I guess but we dont know how tall this mountain exactly is
either way it's cool its even in the game in the first place
I would say that imperator is pretty much accurate to this
yeah
hopinh we get a ZM style map through it at some point
I guess scale is just hard to visualize mentally
we struggle to really put scale to anything larger than 2m tall.
it's hard ot think that an imperator is 20 space marines tall, given that most peopel probably couldn't acvcurately show you the height of a space marine (~3m or 9 feet)
It needs to be bigger.


Yeah the artwork always exaggerates the heights even more than canon
Probably because of the simple fact that
It looks cooler
Like sure, a Mecha the size of the statue of liberty is cool
But what about the size of the Effiel Tower??
Square Cube Law can kiss my ass

can space marines be women or is that like, not a thing
Not usually
yeah ok so like, sisters of battle are peak for women in the imperium? idk if that sounds weird
theyre cool tho i like em
Fabius Bile did make some iirc
Custodes
Yes
thats what i meant
SM are also altered
But Sister do have Power Armour
Compared to other normal human
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
if we're going by peak human and don't include ones that wear power armor
Catachan would be it
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
stone tooth Harker and Sly Marbo
as much of a meme Marbo is he is pretty fucking effective
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
No, they're just better trained
Like Catachan Devils
Krieg Grenadier
Are you thinking of Gland Warrior ?
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
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
Combat orders of the Adepta Sororitas, and any female Tempestus Scions. Throw in Catachans and you have a few lanes.
If we're including all options, female inquisitors can get basically whatever they want, power armor included.
Oh, and Silent Sisters.
Almost forgot their presence.
lore accurate
I mean its not too hard to imagine elite soldiers in the imperium taking something that enhances them, if we can believe nobles can live for hundreds of years without looking old i can believe this
Okay but none of the recent lore mentions it.
Thats more my point, not what elite soldier gets what enhancement
7ft foot tall woman? 🗣️🤝🙏
C*dian? 🤢🫵🚽
It's also canon in universe like a catachan will call you a Cadian as an insult
Why does everything relating to be gene enhanced come to making people taller?
Bigger target
Because height = power
Dwarf maxing gene enhancement
Short and wide
Especially in the warhammer setting actually lol
Dwarves are way stronger then men
Dwarf cope
The look the sister gives you before burning you and your family to death for not having enough fervor (she didn’t like your vibe)
didnt pay your taxes on time
You were not made in the God Emperors image (Too short)
natural male coping mechanism when youre bellow 6ft is to resort to the dwarfpill
When you're born with an extra finger ( you have a mutation )
So, how much information is out there about the veiled region? I have a story in mind and it requires the aid of a world with limited imperial presence but that can still hold human settlements
I wonder if this is only a western thing
What isnt just a western thing is the bias to lighter skin tones
It's pretty mysterious, Admech and Rogue Traders have tried to chart or explore it but never really done well, so it's umapped and is rumoured to be filled with Orks, Necrons and even unknown Xenos
The Imperium also banned anyone from setteling near or in it
the redditor classic
im ugly, stink, fat and short. no, i am dwarfpilled.
varied xeno presence is perfect
It’s actually a honest question lol, I’ve not been to other parts of the world
idk
Dont know much about it outside America
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
Time to world craft, it's gonna be a perfect springboard to transition into the other southern zones.
thank you!
Other than that it's mentioned in the Dark Angel 6th edition codex and White Dwarf 477
I got so many pages open of the lexicanum already, god have mercy.
So yea pretty unexplored both inuniverse and inlore
Were there any notable loyalist night lords?
Or did kurse just eat them or something
He seems the type
Legionaries of the Traitor Legions, who remained loyal to the Imperium
oh nice, didn't know they had any named ones
Damn, even Horus legion had loyalists
most of the Heresy literally follows those characters 
well not most, but a good portion
Nice nice, do we have traitors of the loyalist legions?
Long ass list 💀
Horus was a notable one
Think someone tried to make it but didn't go to the end with it https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Traitors_of_the_Loyalist_Legions
Legionaries of the Loyalist Legions, who betrayed the Imperium during the Horus Heresy.
Ah
If they were taller they would be unstoppable
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?
Well yes but what the Imperium come across the Eldar and vice versa, you're telling me they just started shooting each other?
the imperium's approach was pretty much "bend the knee or die" and when they didn't, war ensued
Yeah I don’t think diplomacy was ever really an option presented
Eldar were known of during the heresy
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.
One of the primarchs showed he can speak eldari right
Like think tactically, what would be the point of war when the end goal of the Emperor is the psychic race shenanigans
think the wars with the eldar taught the emperor about the webway prior the heresy or something like that
Eldar deserve all the hate they get
I wish they didn’t get the shit beat out of them as much though
Because even if force was going to be used eventually why not wait until later?
Why DID they create Slanessh (obviously not intentionally but thats the most family friendly way I can describe the events that created them).
the Imperium essentially believes in the IRL philosophy of "manifest destiny", basically saying the galaxy belongs to them by the warped view of the emperor and that every alien they meet is evil and should be exterminated, with the almost largely peaceful alien civilizations having been wiped out by humanity during the great crusade.
They won
And we’re having too much fun in new game+
Because decadent socieities just like us IRL get bored.
And they resort to hedonism.
That makes sense
its why you always see stories of rich people doing fucked up shit
because they got power
Imagine being an alien and suddenly the imperium just made you extinct because you can make them younger
^
That's it? I mean its reasonable but CHAOS GOD birthing levels of degeneracy?
they were essentialy at peak societal form
Freakdar
They didnt do it on purpose lol
and they are an entirely psychic race, this manifested over centuries
more or less like how humanity feeds all 4 chaos gods today
the eldar that were smart left when they saw what was happening in a "paradise lost" fashion.
its the eldar you see on the current setting
What ARE the current plans of the Necrons?
Do they have even the slightest regrets about well THE WARP INCIDENT???
Not really.
They are peak robochads, why would they care when they are such assholes

Necrons haven’t taken over the galaxy yet cause they are stupid
also asleep
Trust weird gas clouds, lose flesh and go kinda insane, fuck up reality, go to sleep after they fucked everything up, begins to do the same thing again
And suffer the same thing as the reason the skaven don’t automatically win
They keep fucking themselves over
infighting
To be fair look at human history
sentient sapient beings dont really ever learn from history
lol
I know 40k grimdark blah blah, but why is not ONE person like even slightly not the worst
Sire why did you want to conquer this island and enslave its people
because i feel like it to be honest and i'm bored
I mean some are
There is one character who is the worst
Not that much
His name is Erebus
Anyway there are necrons who are like
actually apologetic
or dont like their situation
the issue is theres literally nothing to do lol
why wallow in misery
Trazyn is a kleptomaniac but he can be surprisingly kind when it comes to
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
Even though it was basically slaved
Not AS psychotic
this is Trazyn stilll
Selectively crazy
he has like the highest ranking person on cadia on his collection
There is no one good faction or group of people, but there are a few twinkles here and there
Who is brought back to the imperium probably could do a lot of good
But he’s in cringe baby jail
Creed?
i'm going to bash in your skull
Hes just a general lol
How many years until the story actually meaningfully moves forward?
With years of experience fighting chaos
Not for a long awhile
He could help out a lot if he was back
it took 30 years IRL for the story to move forward with Gathering Storm
"The Emperor might return!!!!!!!" Surely
Clueless
you need to understand that this is a setting with no consequences or that much of a great change
the more things change the more they will stay the same
I know I just hate it
this franchise is about miniatures, not lore, so
yeah and i'm pretty sure our Darktide operatives are dead except for psykers because they can learn bio mancy and reduce their aging
Isn't it around Guilliman's return?
Yeah but you forget the time frame in 40k
its so large the dates are in Millennia
aka 1000 years
Isn't it still the 41st millennium? Or are we on 42nd?
41 rn
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
I feel I've heard hundreds of years have passed a LOT
officially 42nd but stuff is still released to be happened in 41st
While yes in different stories
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
Me being canonically in the death watch for 100 years and then struggling with a single tyrannid warrior
the car in front of me threw a bunch of food wrappers out their window. my morning is ruined
40k powerscaling KEK
you say that like tyranid warriors are pushovers in the actual lore 💀
Absolutely useless
This is why I literally don't have ANY investment in any 40k character besides our Darktide characters
You can get some investment
"oh let me practice parrying this one lone warrior"
Proceeds to lose 90% of my health
but uh
its usually characters that got no models in books
who you know might or might not survive
The last big thing that happened was angron breaking something right?
Uh it was Arks of Omen
Yeah
where Vashtorr got the key to the webway to tunnel shit in it
Any named character in 40k are invincible until they're suddenly very not
we dont know what hes after atm
They are always invincible
theres not really any exceptions
Everyone gets oneshot
Argel Tal?
Until they die for plot reasons
Sanguinis?
EVERYONE gets oneshot in the lore
hes a 30k character thats not in 40k
And I am sick of pretending otherwise
Unless they don't
We literally always knew he was gonna die lol
One lucky necron beam hits you square
aight sure
You can WATCH SM and CSM die to chainswords bolters etc, oneshot

titus's plot armour is so strong that even in the game everybody's confused
He fought ork’s while blue
Doesn't this mean SM are weaker than tyranid warriors?
He is the luckiest marine alive
never use tabletop stats for lore
in some aspects yes
they are never accurate
yes they are
no lol
this is lore cope
this is tabletop cope
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
the lore is built around the tabletop 
Cope cope seethe seethe
but nothing in it is set in stone
i always hate people using tabletop as basis it's like the equivalent of looking at jay and thinking he's xqc
Okay so a machine gun crew can just kill guilliman

they can't
if guilliman stands still for two turns then yeah
🍿 
Just shoot him in the face
Caring about 40k logic
this also means that Gretchen can kill him

^
if the gretchen has like 15 turns of melee without a care in the world, sure
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
yes
fulgrim survived getting blank-shot in the face by a bolter
most space marine characters dont wear helmets
well his skull is what took the brunt, not skin but yeah
(Light work no reaction)
fulgrim's got no brain so he was safe there
true true
Haha
Bro melted under ZERO pressure
I know a lot of people don’t like lorgar, was he actually ever cool?
The fucking bullshit the Primarchs and SM fell too is so BAD
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
most primarchs had to be forced into chaos. fulgrim just had to be enticed by weird snake sex
Literally giga mind steeled uber plus war vets genetically made from birth to be unflinching
Wrong
Not like warp energy but like mental fuckery
You say that now, but it will get to you
sure irl
Will find your weakness
no matter how much willpower you have chaos will corrupt you physically
Me when a literal god.
but in warhammer there's dumb chaos taint
especially if you comprehend their whispers
Me when literally satan
LITERALLY Satan, trusting satan is CRAZY
Magnus I get
It was never about trust.
Fulgrim gave up
Remeber mentally genetically perfect war vet, falls to ego
ok then go to Slannesh's domain and taunt her then
Lorgar embraced it, angron didn’t have a choice
To literal Satan
you said you won't be corrupted right
Angron no
Bro was brain melted
He really never had a chance
Not willingly no
Your words now hold little meaning in the face of desire and greed, such is your nature.
And khrone just made it hurt worse
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
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
AS much as I don't care about SM2, I do have to applaud 1 thing
||And it's making people cheer for the Chaplain||, ||then reveal that it is Leandross||
it's like CA improving their DLC only for them to not add your favorite characters

who tf cheers for him
he's a dickhead the whole campaign
People who like space marines and think chaplains are cool
because they like his so called tough and you know vigilant personality
He’s a good chaplain
"i will kill you if i see any traces of chaos"
omg so cool
no he is not lol
That’s what they do
read any space marine book with an actually good chaplain
You really expect people that are space marines fans to not find that cool?
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
he was already depressed though
what's your point
he's fine he literally powered through
like he's used to this type of crap already
i dont understand how this explains the chaplain's actions
it's a Chaplain
People find marines with bones attached to them cool
this still does not explain the chaplain's actions
Thats the Chaplain's job
yes it does, since he is a chaplain he is very watchful of titus, who has a notorious reputation of being immune to the warp
hes essentially a drill sergeant
do drill sergeants make you feel good about yourself? lol
Listen soldier you didn't go to military camp to have hugs and kisses now enter to the gas chamber
I'm seeing more lore channels popping up and I'm like "They think the lore is going to be good 😭 "
how does being immune to the warp make somebody more suspicious, especially considering that the chaplain was literally present the first time he went through the whole chaos ordeal
You mean a non chaos marine being immune to the warp is not suspicious?
even though their chapter doesn't train for rapid exposure?
You expect a super soldier that while strong should not survive direct contact to the warp for a prolonged time to be not suspicious?
Doesn't matter, its still a betrayal
don't forget in the first game titus didn't even have special gear when he make contact with the warp
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
Leandros should have reported the issue within the marines anyway not with the inquisition because that's literally on the codex that he wants to marry
Even more of a reason he sucks ass
this is after he went through the deathwatch and proved himself nigh unkillable by most means. you're basically saying that leandros is too dumb to realize that titus isn't affected by the warp
which he is
But that's the suspicious part he isn't affected by the warp
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
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
in the end whether it's by stupidity or incompetence, leandros just doesnt do his job properly
Especially after being witnessed piledriving a massive chaos plot
sure he does because if he didn't he wouldn't be a chaplain
If the marines decided him to be a chaplain is good enough then let him be a chaplain they said
He does exactly what a chaplain should
you are just expecting logic out of literal awful people again
chaplains are literally just redditor hall monitors
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
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
Wouldn't you be a little confused if you saw a dude walk out of the ocean completely dry?
No but seriously are the Grey Knights gonna show up or?
this is the imperium
I save an entire world by shooting a lucky shot on a chaos lord using an Tau pulse rifle they will torture me and execute me on the spot
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
Nothing, he's an ultramarine named character and he has faith. That's his character
Nobody wants a scene where there is a formal investigation from higher ups about his main character syndrome lmfao what
it's noted several times that his resistance is abnormal
Yeah and it gets chalked up to him being very faithful and loyal
the games wouldn't be pointing it out if it was just main character syndrome
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
It literally is just warhammer writing, faith can withstand chaos
Forgive me for not liking the named character excuse
Gargaz Teefgrabba, Titus, and Malum Caedo, nothing special about them they are just Game Protagonists
Well one of them is an Ork SOOOOOO
not even a particularly big one
he starts off the game killing a baneblade and it only ramps up from there
a single ork that single handedly destroyed a gene stealer cult slaughtered armies worth of guard, Scions and Marines it killed a knight and a Stompa
it's just game protagonist syndrome
and bigger warbosses
I'm aware of what it is, its still dumb
They could at least TRY to not do it everytime a character just ignores the lore
He isn't ignoring the lore. Canonically faith is a shield against chaos. he just has a lot
Well for stuff like Darktide whatever, I would like an explanation, but I'm fine without it
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
Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the fact your playing a 8 ft tall meathead with a chainsword
Why would you do this to her
And not look too deeply
daughters of khaine i see
that is an explanation that i will believe alright
Me and my gf are doing the campaign and we just laugh at the idea of our characters just THUNK THUNK all over the battle barge during intermissions
In their dumb ass power armor
Or scenes where we just go helmetless and survive a vehicle crash while standing
i wish my friends played warhammer
i have a friend who's very into boardgames and i'm trying on them
i'm going to get the new killteam edition so i can indoctrinate easier
are you introducing them on 30K or 40K
40k i'm not evil
that's good
ye especially with coop
i might try getting my dad into it too
guy needs a new hobby
financial ruin has come to our family
creating my own generational poverty
i was building a full 40k army with my like decade old best friend but he turned out to be a complete fucking weirdo politically so I just forced another friend to start a Votann army
and a stormcast army
and like 3 killteams
Do not fall prey to the machinations of the political beast, for they pit you against your fellow man.
every time it's warhammer it's always a political weirdo
Fr, I have an avid distrust of anybody in the space by default now
It's natural to distrust others.
yes but if it's a warhammer fan it's a lot more apparent
btw im saying this because i caught him watching the borderlands movie yesterday
Meeting 1 is always a gamble
you really must have nothing to do to watch the borderlands movie
sorry to hear that,, i hope you are able to make a new best friend!
I can't wait to watch the new minecraft movie.
From my experience Age of Sigmar fans are pretty normal and cool
yes mainly because they just want to be left alone and enjoy their cool setting
warhammer fantasy boomers are still waging war on them for some reason
Where do Old World fans fall?
and also our setting's main faction isnt a facist fantasy
LITERALLY
AYE
also women stormcasts are normal
i LOVE how age of sigmar factions always be teaming up and shit
THATS WAHT SPACE MARINES AREEE 
seraphon AND stormcast??? go fuck them up kings and queens and lizards and shit
fantasy in general has less shitheads than sci fi settings from my experience
its my favorite part too
you can be a space marine and not be a facist
but most facists are space marine fans
IRON JAWZ IZ BEST
Now this is a true
Can you have a whole iron jawz army?
oh tahts beacsue back in the early editions they were actual nazis
I hate orruks guttrippas or whaetever they called
yes
the skinny ones
kruleboyz
werent they WW1 german inspired
Yeah you can have now
they did receive new units to mitigate their slow speed
rubbing my hands rn
they had swatzicas on their armor

why do you think storm boys are called storm boys
fuck
pff
also im so so so excited for the nwe darkest dungeon 2 gamemode
they got the giant boars and the Ragers to mitigate their speed disadvantage
Still haven't finished the second one, gone back to replay dd1 on repeat.
i want their underworlds team so bad
yeah i do that back and forth
its only liek 30 bucks
can be used fo rwarcry
and also every book 1 underworlds wraband will have new rules
Which one the iron skulls or the Krushas
it's so funny that you can't even tell which models are orcs and which are orks
i suggest looking at every facteion and decide what you like and dont
the way aos is made, its focused around making you really want a few armies
Both of them are Orruks
Easy
you must be one rich zogger
they could be used as savage world orks 
Just reckless
savage orcs can take that part these guys are propper
Orruks
you're 1 brave guy to spend your money on a horde army
i have an astra militarum army already as well
