Gonna be honest here

I don't think humanity actually fucked up the warp too badly?

Like the Daemon Primarchs exist but like

Eh

[small grail]

Nit sayin he can survive that but I'm just saying

No arms and a leg is just insane

He killed a titan or whatever as well

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-im-invincible-black-knight-just-a-flesh-wound-your-arms-off-gif-11996860

[small grail]

Kinda sick feat foe a space marine

[small grail]

Exactly

[opaque coyote]

Calgar vs Swarmlord circa 745.M41

[languid meadow]

every time I hear the word souls in relation to necrons, I always think of szeras and him having a nerd emoji moment

https://youtu.be/kowDZwizpUY?si=dhQDnzd2v7f40Kmn

Bro is a fucking nerd and I love him

[opaque coyote]

"Lord Szeras, if you may allow me… our actual, real souls were eaten by literal ancient sun gods."

[queen laurel]

Well what the fuck is the scientific terminology for a soul then you fuckin idiot

life energy?

[languid meadow]

yeah I think he says "life essence"

which

is worse

but him being in mega denial fits him since he helped create the biotransference machines iirc

[queen laurel]

yeah he did

[small grail]

Just imagine calgar loses the other leg and his other eye

Feel like he'll still find a way to be badass

[languid meadow]

[small grail]

Lads! Imperium finance update

We've just reached the 930 million point

I'm working hard for dis

Other than angron and fulgrim is there any other primarch daemon that's still alive

[languid meadow]

mortarion, magnus, perty, and lorgar

[celest dome]

Only one that are dead a Horus, Alpharius (not Omegon) and Kurze

[languid meadow]

I think omegon is like the only traitor primarch we have nothing for after the heresy right?

like we know about perty if very little

[arctic talon]

Daemon Primarchs alive: Angron, Fulgrim, Mortarion, Magnus, Perturabo, Lorgar

Omegon is alive

but uh

[celest dome]

Omegon we know nothing about

[arctic talon]

Who the fuck knows what he's doing

[celest dome]

Bet he doesn't even know

[arctic talon]

there's a false record about omegon dying to Guilliman

[opaque coyote]

Y'know honestly I find it funny when that Peasant got shocked that Gulliman said there were 20 primarchs

[arctic talon]

in orbit of Ultramar

[opaque coyote]

It's like the equivalent of like

Jesus coming bacj

And saying

[celest dome]

Which even Guilliman is weirded out about

[arctic talon]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

"where are my 10 brothers?"

[arctic talon]

Like

no one knows where the fuck the record game from

The Ultramarines don't have a record of it

their second founding sucessors don't

like ????

[celest dome]

Imagine if Omegon is just working in the Record keeping facilities

[opaque coyote]

I am half convinced that Omegon put it there as a prank tbh

[arctic talon]

Omegon is just on Terra

filing papers

[opaque coyote]

It would be funny if Omegon wasn't even that

[celest dome]

Not even part of the Administratum, just working in the private sector

[shadow plover]

he himself put that record there just to have an opportunity to say "the rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

[opaque coyote]

Like he's just a farmer now

He's just in some random Agri world

Farming

Collecting wheat

Honestly it would be funny if a Primarch legitimately just decided to quit

Like all the others at least have some type of excuse.

[shadow plover]

Cruze moment

[celest dome]

Guilliman already had that part

Where he dreamt of a simpler life

[shadow plover]

Khan is also probably just somewhere having some porridge in a cottage without a care in the world

[celest dome]

Nah, Khan is doing hyper speed racing in Commorragh

[fallen plaza]

Khans reason for disappearance was probably the most disappointing to me

[arctic talon]

I think Khan being in the black library

would be the funniest option

[small grail]

Must be just wandering like alpharius

[arctic talon]

he's just been sitting in it reading

[opaque coyote]

It would be funny if Khan is just wandering in the Webway

With no idea where the fuck he is

[small grail]

Erebus sorry

[opaque coyote]

He's basically just a cryptid for the Drukhari

[shadow plover]

Khan on the right

[opaque coyote]

Also y'all ever think the Alpha Legion will ever be demystified

[celest dome]

Drukharii "He became so fast, he look like he is keeping still"
Khan wake up from his nap, turn a page slowly

[storm jungle]

theres nothing mystifying about them

they are traitors lmao

[plush mason]

ok so question, is there any info on the sorcerer BBG in SM2's past with Calgar?

[storm jungle]

BBG?

[plush mason]

big bad guy

[dusk patrol]

Not before this I don’t think

Presumably he was part of a boy band at some point and fell to Tzeentch

[plush mason]

so its literally the Thanos "i dont even know who you are" meme

[dusk patrol]

But we can’t be sure

[plush mason]

Calgar is Thanos in this instance

[dusk patrol]

He was definitely the fourth member of the band who you always forget their name and face though

[storm jungle]

Basically yeah

hes just a throwaway villain

like every 40k story

[plush mason]

its funny they made his beef with Calgar and not Titus

[storm jungle]

Yeah its so out of nowhere too lol

guy is monologuing about that nonsense like anyone cares

[queen laurel]

By ranking by personality Grimskull still has the most character in the space marine games

[storm jungle]

Grimskull is indeed still peak

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/hound-talker-got-gif-1511896430664006949

Titus face when

[queen laurel]

Yes he is

[plush mason]

thats why i called him the BBG, dude is literally just an early DM's attempt at a main villain

[storm jungle]

yeah i didnt know the synonym lol

but also thats a pretty good breakdown of it yeah

[dusk patrol]

He’s a hammy dude

Definitely a closet EC

With how much he goes on about dance metaphors

And perfection

[opaque coyote]

Idk which is more common

The Chaos BBG monologuing

Or an Aeldari Eldar insulting their allies

[storm jungle]

Yes.

this is like asking "Can space marines have an interaction that isnt like a brick wall gaining sentience"

[dusk patrol]

C. Bolters barking

[storm jungle]

D. Wet leopard growl

[dusk patrol]

Smell of ozone

[opaque coyote]

"No."

[plush mason]

the sound mixing being so bad actually made the monologs funny, "sorry what was that? cant hear you over the sound of my heavy bolt gun"

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/npc-gif-26556764

[storm jungle]

they also put his big wordy lines over like the most locked-in-required combat segments lol

[dusk patrol]

Tbf idk what else you’re supposed to say to most of those monologues

[storm jungle]

nothing

[dusk patrol]

Just like

[storm jungle]

its generic evil bad guy shit

lol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think it's on purpose tbh

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/wayne-letterkenny-kay-gif-20484136

[opaque coyote]

The classic Imperium response to monologues

Bolter

[storm jungle]

To be fair not even bolter

they literally do the Luke Skywalker routine

"I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU"

"YOU ARE A HERETIC"

like yes we get it

[dusk patrol]

Titus: “I feel like you’re feeling like we’re having a back and forth here when we’re not.”

[storm jungle]

to be fair they also are

Imurah literally goes

"Ah finally, you agree on some shit i said for once"

lol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it would be funnier if Titus just eventually said

"SHUT THE FUCK UP"

[storm jungle]

"No."

continues psychic monologue

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I wonder if like

Psychic monologues can backfire

Like you intentionally think of the most disturbing shit just to get them out of your head

[queen laurel]

Imagine a villain being so petty he just locks you in and keeps monologing anyway

[opaque coyote]

"Ah shit a Psyker is trying to read my mind.

Better grab my memory of watching one man one jar-"

[dusk patrol]

Titus when he realizes that he wasn’t gonna get to just fight the one enemy who don’t endlessly monologue at him

[opaque coyote]

"Great Wolf of the Clan Wolf riding their Thunderwolf did a Wet Leopard Growl before charging towards their enemies. Bolters barking as the battlefield filled with the smell of Ozone."

[dusk patrol]

“Emperor why couldn’t that Carnifex have showed up a little earlier.”

[opaque coyote]

What else should I add to this

[dusk patrol]

There was a great monologue someone wrote of all the 40k tropes on Reddit

[opaque coyote]

Lemme try and find it

[storm jungle]

the worst part is this is one of the rare cases in lore where this is never exaggerated.

like even space wolf fans are depressed about it but they are space wolf fans so i cant extend sympathies too much

🗿

[dusk patrol]

Choler

And rising

[opaque coyote]

Hmm

Should I add "Primarch-esque feat" to it

[queen laurel]

Being a space wolf fan is the equivalent of being british in real life

[dusk patrol]

Preternatural

Ichor

Idk there’s a bunch

[opaque coyote]

Cannot find it

Found this comment by a random Reddit user instead

"I'm tired of all the tropes that don't involve rats.

GW should fix this by giving us more rat-related tropes in 40k."

[hasty coral]

Skaven are 100% the most fun thing GW has ever made imo

Like if you had to pick a single thing

I think it has to be Skaven

Like just fun factor

With the second I think being Necrons

Space robot skeleton pharoahs

And then probably Nurgle

At least for me

As much as I love Nurgle

I think Necrons are more “fun”

[arctic talon]

Skaven not being able to instantly kill half their army in total war by getting unlucky

Makes them automatically lamer in that game

[plush mason]

Ikitt can

if you misclick the doom rocket

[arctic talon]

You’re not being unlucky with ikit

[queen laurel]

Who knew an army that relied on rng to be balanced isn't balanced without rng

[arctic talon]

That is incompetence

Not being unlucky

[plush mason]

true

[arctic talon]

Skaven guns not randomly blowing up is lame

Same with no misfires

[queen laurel]

This is why i love Thanquol every time, like
He is surprisingly good at making plans but because of his own incompetence and well stupidity he gets everything to blow up very badly of course his minions as well

[plush mason]

if total war had misfires it would both enchance and downgrade the gameplay

[queen laurel]

If only skaven had

Do you have any idea how painful it is to try to come up to their gunline as an orc player

Very f****** painful

I don't care how strong my melee are with my monsters and black orcs by the time i get in the lines very few would have survived

[arctic talon]

It would enhance gameplay because skaven wouldn’t be boring as shit

And you just spam skryre tech

[plush mason]

given how unreliable black powder is every faction that uses it would have to deal with misfires/random explosions

[arctic talon]

Skaven are so goddamn boring when played at its “best”

[queen laurel]

Man i sure love spamming mortar teams and just watching the enemy evaporate

And not be able to fight back

Yeah like ikit is still to this day one of the most op warhammer total war lords

[arctic talon]

Oh it’s funny

It just gets boring after a while

[queen laurel]

He gives his guns extra stuff

And watch as his entire f****** gun line evaporates the entire f****** enemy

[queen laurel]

I love it it but i do not want to fight him every time i play campaign because he will just f****** throw a doom rocket at me

That's why i play grimgor and stay f****** far away from him

Honestly though i feel like only the skaven is the one that works with their implemented weakness

I like taurox but if playing him will cause me to accidentally die with a well placed arrow hit i may as well throw myself in a woodchipper

[rose plover]

I personally prefer Taurox, just bulldoze the entire world in a single turn, alone

[wintry scarab]

The SM2 Chaos marine VAs sounded exactly like something and i have just now put my finger on it. They sound like Transformers Decepticons lol

[queen laurel]

i play Grimgor and a minotaur doomstack is my fav but it's no fun to die in one hit

accidentally

so i'm glad they didn't give him a weakness

[shadow plover]

I really like all of the Chaos voices, except Alpha Legion, which is the one I play the most 😩

some of them are very familiar though, imperium included

[onyx remnant]

SM2 for me was pretty fun, well mostly because it delivers exactly what I'd expect as a 40K fan, my only issues with it was some parts of combat design and AI.

[storm jungle]

Combat design?

have you just tried getting good

[onyx remnant]

Me when I say design and not difficulty.

[storm jungle]

Better learn to dark souls roll spam

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-meme-gif-25490521

But yeah the game is good, just has a lot of glaring issues that are kind of being entirely covered up because the hype around this game is legit getting crazy lol

ugh

[onyx remnant]

I like the enthusiasm, but dare you criticize it - be ready to get flamed into oblivion.

Nobody can have a nuanced opinion, you're either a hater or bootlicker apparently.

[shadow plover]

Also they got Andrew Wincott to voice Night Lords again which is amazing

[storm jungle]

You should have seen the argument here last night lmao

like again the game is fun, i just am kinda fed up with the criticism backlash.

I dont know why a middle point is just impossible

[onyx remnant]

But then again, that's an issue with the gaming community as a whole and not just with this game.

[queen laurel]

people are people no matter how much you want to brain'em

[celest dome]

Like that Incel dude video ? Or something else ?

[queen laurel]

It's always, it has to be garbage where it has to be good no in between

People get mad that you for calling something mid even though it is then they get mad at you for calling something good even though it is

[storm jungle]

Pretty much

[storm jungle]

Uh more just:

"Just get good"

the elitist crowd in this game is legit crazy

[celest dome]

Oh I'm thinking of another video

[queen laurel]

Bro we are losing the amount of arguments here

[raven stone]

Because in The current day and age, you must be a committed MANLY MUSCUALR SIGMA GIGACHAD WHO WANTS TO RULE ALL WOMENKIND, or a LGBTQ+++ ALLY WHO CAN INFLUENCE EVRYTHING.
There is no middle ground.
For the SOUL OF THE INTERNET AND CULTURE is AT STAKE.
/shitpost.

[storm jungle]

LMAO

Yeah i hope this shit dies down soon. I dont even actively seek it out and it still gets shovelled to my face 😭

[queen laurel]

If i was allowed to brain people because of this reason i would

Man they don't shut up about this type of stuff

It's like the only thing they f****** do

[onyx remnant]

They do this because this is all they have.

[raven stone]

And also too much time on their hands.

Also nowadays YouTube makes it easy to just profit off verbal hatin

[queen laurel]

yep

[storm jungle]

CriticalDrinker my beloved

[spring cairn]

had someone tell me last week the sigma based russians were saving gaming with space marine 2, and showing the west how to do it

[queen laurel]

That's certainly a take

well almost a take

[spring cairn]

it's not actually that uncommon to hear

[raven stone]

It is like that ridiculous take with comparing the recruitment commercials…

[queen laurel]

oh god of course

[celest dome]

What link do Russian even have with Saber

[shadow plover]

anyone making "thing bad" content should be drawn and quartered

[queen laurel]

yeah i suggest breaking their legs

[spring cairn]

The saber russian satellite that worked on sm2 is the one that dev'd the game

iirc

[storm jungle]

Yeah Saber is also a big studio

like 2000+ members iirc

[plush mason]

sadly i dont expect it to in my life time

[storm jungle]

Eh it will

Helldivers 2 was praised as the game that saved gaming

5 months later tho uh lol

rip

[onyx remnant]

I just don't engage with them.

[storm jungle]

^ also this

[crisp heath]

Ok I think I figured out what space marine 2 combat is missing which makes taking care of hordes so hard, hit stun

[storm jungle]

just enjoy the game as you see fit

[onyx remnant]

I wouldn't be so harsh on sm2 if darktide didn't exist.

[crisp heath]

Your enemies don’t care when you are whaling on them, you do however

[onyx remnant]

Do I love the combat in this game.

[plush mason]

oh i thought you meant the vitriol in general lol

[queen laurel]

man they are not helping themselves anytime soon

[hallow plover]

Might be a me thing but i've tries giving the pvp a chance last night and it's really unfun

[crisp heath]

I got my moneys worth form helldivers

[hallow plover]

Plus the latency 💀

[crisp heath]

Sad how it turned out though

Was fun while it lasted

[leaden pilot]

That's my biggest problem with the combat
That the melee often doesn't feel like it does anything, cause often the enemies just don't care, even if you do damage

[queen laurel]

they should really have not removed the health man

Health and execution was practically the bread and butter in old space marine combat\

[crisp heath]

If the mini bosses and tyrants didn’t care that’s fine but hitting a space marine with a thunder hammer should keep him from shooting back at me

[onyx remnant]

I gave the devs (hd2) props but they went from one mistake to another one too many times despite the pushback from the overall community.

[queen laurel]

after that sony debacle i made a bet that the game is gonna unfortunately spiral out of control and it did

[leaden pilot]

Yeah, no health from executions makes this game a lot harder

[onyx remnant]

It's hard to have faith in the game when all your toys simply get taken away from you each time.

[hallow plover]

The thunder hammer feels impactless

[crisp heath]

Never charge with the thunder hammer

You will die

[leaden pilot]

Power fist is worse

[queen laurel]

And now they are adding a war bond pack with bio weapons only that won't work on bots

[hallow plover]

Same with the power fist

[shadow plover]

I thought the hammer felt great, the fist, not so much

[queen laurel]

so you're telling me i should go for chainsaw or power sword if i play bulwark

[crisp heath]

Yeah it’s odd darktide has way more satisfying melee then a space marine game lol

[shadow plover]

power sword is goated

[hallow plover]

The only weapon that i've liked is the chainsword

[queen laurel]

like damage wise the fish does its job right

[onyx remnant]

For better or worse fat fish does have a lot of experience in this domain.

[hallow plover]

You can just stunlock any non elites

[queen laurel]

you punch a fucker and you kill them

[shadow plover]

It's not really that odd, FS has perfected the system across three games

[crisp heath]

I wish hitting elites knocked them out of attacks

[queen laurel]

yeah fat sharks specialty is melee

[crisp heath]

Cause I’m animation locked and can’t dodge

[storm jungle]

the combat also just has a ton of stuff that goes into it below the surface.

[queen laurel]

end weapon usage of course

[storm jungle]

Just play Tactical and spam Chainsword attack + kick

[crisp heath]

I will say I like space marine 2 Ranged combat more

[shadow plover]

yeah some attacks do, some don't

or, most don't

[crisp heath]

Shooting pistols while engaging in melee is really fun

[shadow plover]

combat knife is actually pretty good with it's heavy attacks for stagger

[crisp heath]

The thunder hammer has basically no hit stun

I don’t get that lol

[hallow plover]

I'm too much of a smoothbrain to remember the attacks of more than 1 melee weapon

[queen laurel]

you're telling me a thunder hammer that is larger than my head doesn't stun?

[crisp heath]

Nah they just eat it and swing back

While you are hitting them

[queen laurel]

and i expect the power fist doesn't help

[crisp heath]

It kills little guys in one hit at least

Most weapons don’t

[queen laurel]

It seems the blunt power weapons are taking the short end of the stick this time

[crisp heath]

But yeah not enough

And you can’t power through attacks either with your charged

You get hit and you get sent flying

[onyx remnant]

For SM2 my most memorable mission was the ripper swarms one (was it the second? can't remember) not because it was good, maybe I should replay with the friends to get a different perspective.

[crisp heath]

I hated that mission

[shadow plover]

I thought it was fun

[crisp heath]

Easily the hardest thing in the game

So many things happening at once

[queen laurel]

so powerfist is the worst bulwark weapon

and i was looking forward to using that

[shadow plover]

just a small burst of fire kept the swarm away for a good while so you had time to do other stuff

[onyx remnant]

I was playing on high preset and the swarms looked so off

[storm jungle]

with friends its MUCH better

[onyx remnant]

It looked like I was fighting an endless potato field.

[storm jungle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1053823148048527440/1281431334048239656/Untitled_Project_V13.gif

also yeah thats from how the rippers were made

its essentially the same model copy pasted to move en-masse so it looks choppy

its like a single "entity" programming wise

[queen laurel]

oh god the lag must be insane

[storm jungle]

yeah uh

you got no idea lol

[crisp heath]

Woe, plague tale upon ye

[queen laurel]

i mean my FPS would probably be slower than a turtle trying to render that in

[crisp heath]

But yeah I’m excited to see what they do with the game cause I like the loop

[shadow plover]

swarm wasn't that bad for fps but the damn barbed stranglers

[crisp heath]

Cringe opinion but it doesn’t really have the power fantasy aspect of being a space marine though

[onyx remnant]

When it comes to actual perfromance the game did fine for me

[shadow plover]

I really really hope the Horde Mode has us dropping into a position in a Drop Pod and we just duke it out until all of us die

[crisp heath]

If I’m fighting more then 2 elites I feel like I’m being bullied lol

Also the heavy bolt pistol fucks so mad it’s only on one class

[onyx remnant]

Personally I dislike the big fuck off indicators they have for attacks that can be parried and those that can't - wish there were more focused on sound cue designs and animations than big UI elements that spring out of nowhere.

[crisp heath]

Thing is a head hunter

[onyx remnant]

L4D2 is really a masterclass on that sometimes.

[crisp heath]

Arkham and its consequences on melee combat has been a disaster

Shadow of war melee was pretty fun though ngl

Game was HARD though dude you played on a high difficulty those orcs were out for your blood

[hallow plover]

The adaptive nemesis system 💀

Fighting uber orcs

[crisp heath]

Shame we won’t get any more of those games

Figured the next one was gonna follow the elf but years later no news

[radiant lance]

Some of the tzeentch bullshit definitely got me near the end of the campaign

[radiant lance]

Hoggar's bridge?

[fallen marsh]

That would be issue for many people. As sound depends on players hardware way too much. You can see that in DT.

[radiant lance]

Did you know that there are actually severely more attacks you're allowed to parry?

[crisp heath]

Not always a good idea

You get stuck in parry animation

And the swarm runs around you and chips at you while you recover

[shadow plover]

yeah parrying gaunt attacks will probably get you killed

unless it's a clear and cut few hits you can easily predict

[crisp heath]

They ai in this game is crazy aggressive

[radiant lance]

The little trash aren't really worth it, but there's a lot of warrior animations you can parry

And it's amazing how awful gun shots are

[shadow plover]

yeah any attack except red ones can be parried

[crisp heath]

Perfect dodges I found are better then parries

[shadow plover]

even red ones can be blocked but you get stunned from it

[onyx remnant]

Elites and everything are fine for me but it's the little spitter bastards that chip away my HP whenever I feel too happy.

[storm jungle]

They also got this weird behavior where like, 4-5 gaunts will jump on you at once when you parry a single one of them.

[storm jungle]

that is just total ass

yeah

like, anyone that defends that shit is coping hard

[crisp heath]

Woe, 8 space marines upon ye

[storm jungle]

Rubrics when they are about to inferno bolt my ass

[crisp heath]

You lose armor you die

[storm jungle]

Also dont forget getting armor

then it disappears after 1 second

good system

[crisp heath]

The armor boost item

Lasts one hit lol

They tryna be Elden ring smh

[queen laurel]

Bulwarks trying to hold the team as literally every single enemy tears them apart slowly but surely

[shadow plover]

keeping up armour is pretty easy with pistol strikes tbh, just don't time it badly

[crisp heath]

Gotta roll guys

Only way to live

https://tenor.com/view/dark-souls-the-souls-gif-9284477

[onyx remnant]

I love dodging

[crisp heath]

The hive tyrant fight is pretty fun ngl

[shadow plover]

my main issue is with tzaangors, those just fuck you up if you misplay even for a second

[onyx remnant]

Funny tho, in elden ring I actually use jump and block more than dodge.

[shadow plover]

yeah I really liked the tyrant

[crisp heath]

Can perfect dodge all his attacks

Can actually parry and pistol strike em

[shadow plover]

and tzaangors are way too tanky for what they are

[crisp heath]

Blew my mind

[crisp heath]

REAL

Hit those dudes with a nade launcher and they just don’t care

Weakest beast man player

[queen laurel]

Wait, aren't they literally fodder enemies though

[shadow plover]

the chaos faction really needs a similar system where you kill the elite grouped with mobs, the mobs should feel the effect like with tyranids

[onyx remnant]

Honestly most of the issues I'm concerned about can be easily fixed in SM2, unfortunately most people have already consumed all the content available.

[crisp heath]

There are less tzan then gaunts for sure

However

[queen laurel]

Something like broken morale?

[bold matrix]

yeah but they have shields

[crisp heath]

No fast way of killing them

[shadow plover]

or just have the rubric explosion be a stun for them

[crisp heath]

Like with the elites nids

[bold matrix]

that apparently can stop bolter rounds

[shadow plover]

explain it with warp fuckery

[queen laurel]

i don't think a shield can stop an exploding rocket ammo

[crisp heath]

It’s a chaos shield

[hallow plover]

Yea the bonus armor should have some timer or something before it can be damaged ||or just make it better ||

[bold matrix]

tzeentchian fuckery

[shadow plover]

even the shieldless tzaangors can soak up a full 12 shot bolt pistol magazine which is silly

[crisp heath]

The bullet doesn’t actually hit the shield guys it’s teleported into the warp

Headshot headshot headshot

Even then they don’t really care

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rael-gif-943215023730044045

Sm2 gameplay loop

[hallow plover]

Actually just let me regain health on executions

[queen laurel]

that's what i am saying

if they just bring that back the chances of the entire team dying will be lower

[shadow plover]

the contested health pool is pretty good system already, starting a pistol strike or an execution with white health will stop the decrease and regen all of it back

[hallow plover]

One must imagine the space marine player happy

[onyx remnant]

I'm mostly fine feeling sorta squishy in SM2 tho - lore wise astartes are strong but they aren't impervious to all dangers.

[shadow plover]

you can still soak up a lot of damage if you manage your executions and strikes well

[bold matrix]

im okay with that too, I just despise the ranged enemies

[shadow plover]

have a squishy mob close by alive if you are facing a lot of elites so you can farm it for hp if need be

[spare osprey]

I now truly feel like a thousand son player

I HATE TZAANGORS

[sour hornet]

NANOMACHINES WARP FUCKERY, SON.

[shadow plover]

Pretty much

At least the cultists explode into giblets with one bullet

[queen laurel]

can a headshot at least take them down?

from like a heavy bolt pistol

[shadow plover]

tzaangors? nah

[queen laurel]

you have to be ******* kidding me

A headshot from a heavy bolt pistol is not enough to down them

[radiant lance]

NGL, the final boss felt like a dark souls mission since it was all just "dodge through the attack with I frames"

Reminded me of remnant 2 more than anything tbh

And remnant 2's last boss fight

[crisp heath]

Remnant 2 😦

Was so excited for that game cause I loved from the ashes but just couldn’t get into it

[spring cairn]

they'll soak 5 hits of a powerfist too

[shadow plover]

[queen laurel]

you're trolling right

[spring cairn]

no

[queen laurel]

ain't no way

[radiant lance]

I enjoyed it, but I didn't play remnant 1.
I'm definitely interested in the dlc coming out since it has a horde mode

[onyx remnant]

You guys remember space hulk deathwing? If that game got remade with some proper sound design, killer sound track and new graphics/animation it would go crazy.

[shadow plover]

that game literally blows

the gameplay in it is wack

cool aesthetic though

[queen laurel]

that game also has the ability to RIP apart your frames like it's a toy right

[shadow plover]

I don't recall any FPS issues really

[onyx remnant]

I loved it

So much detail in the environment and everything, too bad it was severely lacking in other departments.

[shadow plover]

yeah it looks good but the rest is just annoyingly bad

[shell mason]

If you don't fw Reynald consider yourself a opp

[fallen plaza]

I’ve recently looked at the joytoy model selection for 40k and 30k

And jesus christ they pump out shit so fast

Im convinced that they just use the original mini assets and tweak them slightly

[wintry scarab]

Have we ever seen a primaris with a missing leg?

or like a prosthetic one.

[fallen plaza]

Uh

Yeah, like im pretty sure most techpriest, ironhands or chapter specific expansion packs do

[wintry scarab]

Nah, no techmarines nor ironhands have any. At least that i could find.

[fallen plaza]

They definitely do my man

[wintry scarab]

Could you find one and post a picture?

[fallen plaza]

What? Specifically a leg?

[wintry scarab]

Well, yeah

[fallen plaza]

Wait

You might be on to something

At most you have bionic arms

Only firstborn have prosthetic legs

[hallow saddle]

Pretty sure that's actually the only bionic leg available

[fallen plaza]

The plastic blood angels character from 30k has a bionic leg

Thats firstborn too

[hallow saddle]

I've been thinking about it for iron hands and I reckon the plastic mechanicum thallax are the answer

Plus maybe the plastic titanicus knights for termies

[fallen plaza]

Arent those things like really big?

[hallow saddle]

The thallax are on 40mm bases but are quite skinny

The knights are also on 40mm bases but quite chunky

[rocky gale]

Yea seems like GW has never made bionic legs for Primaris

Only hands and arms

[hallow saddle]

Also just scratch building them using plasticard rods, broken guitar strings and greenstuff cables

And plasticard sheet

[rocky gale]

Yea looks like most people just custom build them or get 3d prints

[hallow saddle]

Ya 3d printing for sure, the iron hands discord has a great channel that links loads of 3d printed bionics

[fallen plaza]

I could see it fit

[hallow saddle]

I'm sure they'll work for primaris

Bit of cutting up needed

Put that shin plate on backwards

[fallen plaza]

I dunno

I like the shin armor as is

[hallow saddle]

Ya they look cool

5 thallax to a box too

[fallen plaza]

Good parts for bashing

[crystal forum]

and the arms are only for certain wargear options

[rocky gale]

Yea they're usually pointy hands or holding pistols from what I've seen

[crystal forum]

btw my theory is correct, my work's wifi has an american IP

i have a free VPN fuck yeah

[fallen plaza]

@outer wave i found an RG zeong for 18 dollars

And yes, i am just as skeptical as you are

[rocky gale]

Yea these are all the ones I can think of for Primaris

[fallen plaza]

No legs whatsover

[dusk patrol]

Tbf they’ve barely made bionic legs at all

[fallen plaza]

Eternals head never looked shinier

[dusk patrol]

I’ve seen some really well done Zephon conversions too

[fallen plaza]

Yeah Ive mentioned them from above just a bit ago

Weirdly even know bionic legs seem to just be confined to firstborn, well, what little they do have.

[dusk patrol]

People also use the Titanicus Knight legs for them

And other options

[fallen plaza]

That BA one is goofy as hell

[dusk patrol]

Generally it looks better with one leg

Ive always wanted to do a IH jump captain with clawed legs kinda like warp talons but bionic

[fallen plaza]

SM having claw foot like that is always cool

I kitbashed some meduson immortals and made them into stls and i used dreadnought feet for there bionics

[dusk patrol]

The struggle with IH is basically always how much you want more bionics vs how much work it is to make them look good

[fallen plaza]

That is a beautiful leg

Where the hell did it come from

[dusk patrol]

That being said

I’m also generally fine with just the hands being the visible bionics

But I do love some weird bionics

[spare osprey]

I’ve got a fallen lad with legs sorta like that. They’re a vibe

[wintry scarab]

I just love these claw/dreadnought feet. Wish we just saw more of them on models.

[outer wave]

They got photos?

[fallen plaza]

Yeah

4 have been ordered and the store seems reputable

[storm jungle]

Fallen always having the best drip as usual

[spare osprey]

[storm jungle]

🤝

[outer wave]

Yeah hopefully it's all okay and legit

[spare osprey]

Still gotta write a story for that ork skull, was “born” without eyes, call him Poleefemuz

Had that augment eye shoved in and just assumed he could see, couldn’t but didn’t wanna seem dumb.

[storm jungle]

Yeah sounds about right 💀

Ork homebrew is as fun as its hadrd

[rose thorn]

wow those sure are bionics

it looks like it snaps liek a twig

[opaque coyote]

Y'know honestly I wonder if there are any Sister of Battle who has white hair because they're just

So stressed 24/7

That their hair is naturally white

[rose thorn]

its motly dyed

[queen laurel]

yeah that's the stuff

[rose thorn]

its to honor a lady who offed the creep who caused the imperium to become the religious hell it is toady isntead of the normal hell

[opaque coyote]

Everyone thinks it's dye but really they're just constantly one step away from shoving a bolter in their mouth and pulling the trigger

[wraith quartz]

This

[opaque coyote]

SERVITORS IRL LET'S FUCKING G-

I mean

Oh no

[wraith quartz]

So, I have one last (few) topic(s) to discuss, if you have the time.

[paper haven]

Relatable

[wintry scarab]

In SM2 starting a "new game" doesnt reset your multiplayer progress, right? It would make no sense to but just want to make 100% sure.

[celest dome]

Go on

[wraith quartz]

So I want to look into the politics that goes on within the Martian Cult, and their relations with their allies.

[storm jungle]

We're gonna be here for awhile if thats the case

[opaque coyote]

It's honestly the same as the general Imperium

That being

Backstab after backstab

Nobody really wants to work with each other

[wraith quartz]

Or any relative form of "Buracecy"

[opaque coyote]

Nearly everyone hates each other

[storm jungle]

yeah pretty much this

its dysfunctional

only some of the higherups sometimes know what they are doing

[wraith quartz]

Hmmm mmm

[celest dome]

Skaven rules of politic

[fallen plaza]

Mmmmm~

https://tenor.com/view/gachi-oh-shit-a-am-sorry-gachimuchi-gif-13510847

[wraith quartz]

So in the game, Darktide specifically, when you hear the side commentary on the mourning star. Hadron was denied any additional supplies from the "dignitaries" from Mars. How does the Cult Mechanicus oversee the Imperium's supplies and machinery?

[storm jungle]

They have agents on the field that oversee stuff and report back, its more or less like any engineering company procedure tbh just more religious and cult-like

[wraith quartz]

Oh,

[storm jungle]

yeah the issue is again your question is VERY general

the intricacy of these literally depends from forgeworld to forgeworld and techpriest to techpriest lol

[wraith quartz]

I thought I was specific on that, sorry

Hold on, temporary afk

I'm back

[storm jungle]

Basically its kinda how any managerial thing is done IRL, send request, wait for it to pass through tons of shit, maybe it gets approved, maybe it doesnt

with again just more cult and religious nonsense involved

thats about as general as it gets

Also sprinkle in some other chaotic stuff like how maybe the techpriest that got your request wants to submit it himself so he or she gets credited for answering the aid to an important planet and is elevated in the eyes of their magos but their rival kills them and does it themselves etc

the admech is ridiculously political

[wraith quartz]

Ok

I've only skimmed through the ranks of Cult Mechanicus, so I was wondering in relations between Terra and Mars does Cult Mechanicus have designated an emissary on Terra?

[thorn zenith]

i mean, almost all facets of the imperium are like that

[storm jungle]

well yeah but we are talking about the admech

[storm jungle]

Yeah they do, its usually on the behalf of the fabricator-general though.

Who usually cant even physically attend council meetings from how big he is

[wraith quartz]

Wait, wdym by big??

[storm jungle]

Hes fucking massive

like half a habitation-block lol

[queen laurel]

I'm also pretty sure you need Titan grade moving equipment just to move him around

[celest dome]

Augments don't really have limitation

[fallen plaza]

The dude is basically a server room it seems

[leaden pilot]

more like a server city block

[wraith quartz]

Is there concept art of a fabricator-general?? Also can't he attend a 40k version of a zoom call?

[storm jungle]

Nope atm we got nothing.

Well its not the same thing as being there physicaly

its like having a meeting with world officials

and you do a digital call, it kinda is not the right thing politically to do lmao

well that and maybe hes too much of a cunt idk

[wraith quartz]

I guess....

[storm jungle]

[wraith quartz]

In regards to the second to last statement

[dusk patrol]

He has other bodies too so part of it literally is just making it a huge effort to meet him or for him to leave

Probably do he’s not being reached for anything but stuff that’s absolutely necessary

[fallen plaza]

Mechanically morbidly obese

[storm jungle]

Our lore on him is so small the "hes as big as a building" part just comes from a fucking throwaway book line lol

[wraith quartz]

Ah

[fallen plaza]

A model of him would be hilarious

[storm jungle]

Yeah its not that great.

[fallen plaza]

And then they reveal it and hes just some terrain for killteam

[storm jungle]

Im sure it wouldnt be too bad, his entire lower half would be just a cube

[wraith quartz]

Closest thing to accurately describe him would be that one robotic dwemer from the elder scrolls series

[storm jungle]

actually yeah not that far off lol

just a lot less fancy

[celest dome]

Did TTS make it up ?

They had something iirc but don't know waht

[storm jungle]

Nope they were actually pretty accurate

hes literally a fucking techno-block

the upper half of his body was from the only official artwork we have of him

which is like 20 years old lol

[celest dome]

Meant art wise

[storm jungle]

Hes on the far right

basically around the time the episodes were coming out

the book that said hes as big as a building wasnt even published for another decade yet

They only fixed it once it was out and planted that artwork version of him to a massive mecha-body

[wraith quartz]

So if the political bureaucracy is sooooo archaic. How does it fair in terms of relic acquisition, more on Mechanicus terms of "Holy relics".

[storm jungle]

Uhhh mostly pretty well? Its the standard deal

Go to your superiors

Convince them you got archeotech to hunt

Get approval, get an Ark Mechanicus fleet

Go find the shit

Come back

anything that can happen in-between these event is random and prone to happen regarding any sort of crisis or issue

[wraith quartz]

Hmm mmh,

[storm jungle]

Admech got an entire starship segment dedicated to this called Explorators, you can guess what the ydo

[wraith quartz]

Make rations!!!

[storm jungle]

[fallen plaza]

Got a whole vehicle line up too, which isnt in production anymore annoyingly

[storm jungle]

GW trying their best to ignore any 30k admech stuff moment

[wraith quartz]

I've seen, ("interrupted"), a lore discussion a couple months before, where they were also discussing about relic acquisition and the dance that comes with it...

[storm jungle]

Yeah its just basically IRL archeology

just mix in people that want to kill you

and said archeology stuff being in dangerous places

[wraith quartz]

From what I remember, claiming credit can become a bit complicated in regards to how important that relic can be

[celest dome]

And being much more useful

No shade on Archologist though

[storm jungle]

IRL archeologists do sometimes make a big dick deal of like "NO i will get to name it" or "NO its my discovery"

but its generally a lot more professional than what admech do

[fallen plaza]

Its especially awkward now that there mostly in plastic now, meanwhile 40k gets walking chopstick robit

[celest dome]

Usually

[queen laurel]

Archaeologist discovering that the Spinosaurus do indeed fly with the wings and having to change the skeleton structure for the one billionth time

[wraith quartz]

What is the job title if you're dedicated to Mechanicus Archeology?

[storm jungle]

One of the titles placed before your normal mechanicus title

[wraith quartz]

Ah

[arctic talon]

Except they don’t which is arguably worse

[wraith quartz]

Well I think that's all the questions I wanted to touch up on....

That I've been able to keep a mental track on....

[storm jungle]

Happy to help lol

[wraith quartz]

Though just one last thing... Well maybe to last things

[fallen plaza]

I’ll admit and say this was also quite interesting to me also

[storm jungle]

[wraith quartz]

Ok

[storm jungle]

One of my proudest memes

really though we're waiting, whats the question

[fallen plaza]

And make it snappy

[celest dome]

I do hope we will see something like a dlc or game 3 that introduce Tau, and make a similar speech

[paper haven]

40k is a setting where archaeology is one of the most dangerous professions

[arctic talon]

Also explorators never had a full vehicle line up it was like a single vehicle that went OOP in under a year

🤓

[storm jungle]

Forgeworld moment

[fallen plaza]

Dammit, i got fucking corrected

[arctic talon]

I really don’t get why it went OOP so fast

[celest dome]

Which one ?

[arctic talon]

Macrocarid explorator

[wraith quartz]

That one was to be a bonding comment chain (a small chain mind you), but the second question was I a tech priest choose to speak only in that binary language. Would it sound like that Internet explorer dial up sound or something more analog??

[arctic talon]

Mechanicus is prolly the best depiction of it

[paper haven]

Sm2 has binaric lines

[storm jungle]

Mechanicus is the best showcase of it

[arctic talon]

It sounds like fucked up English and machine sounds

SM2 and other games

[storm jungle]

its literally eldritch machine sounds

[fallen plaza]

*macrocarid

[arctic talon]

Just use a generic screech sfx

[fallen plaza]

FUCK

[arctic talon]

Which is lame but saves money lol

[paper haven]

It sounds like if you took a record scratch, heavily distorted and bass boosted it and played it backwards.

[celest dome]

Look like a bigger Triaros

[wraith quartz]

Sidenote: on a scale of 1-10 how do rate space marine 2

[arctic talon]

7

[paper haven]

10/10

[arctic talon]

It’s above average and very good overall

[paper haven]

I fucking love it

[arctic talon]

not in my top 5 games of this year though

[wraith quartz]

Ah interesting

[queen laurel]

there are two kinds of people when it comes to space marine 2

[storm jungle]

I was watching bricky's review today

im so glad a semi-big content creator actually mentions the problem with the game.

The comment section getting mad at him was funny af

[arctic talon]

He has high standards

He also plays league of legends

[storm jungle]

Its not really high.

[arctic talon]

He has decent atandards

[wraith quartz]

How long did you have that on stand by??!

[arctic talon]

Is that better

[fallen plaza]

Bricky is a pretty thorough reviewer

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

Bricky might be a slop maker but he is pretty thorough on his game reviews

[storm jungle]

His 40k content can be slop but his game revies are very good.

[fallen plaza]

His last of us review is one of my faves

[storm jungle]

Also its just him being honest tbh

its what i like about him

he says the good and the bad, theres no toeing around anything

[paper haven]

I saw a chance and I took it

[fallen plaza]

And he can actually be occasionally funny

Which is actually pretty good

[storm jungle]

Uhhh like 2 years

[leaden pilot]

Bricky is one of my favorite game reviewrs

[opaque coyote]

I know that the lack of voiced lines was actually mainly due to budget

But honestly

I actually like this more than if they were voiced

[arctic talon]

It’s better

The Necrons are all normal voices

It’s much cooler

Having the mechanicus be incomprehensible without looking at what they’re saying

[opaque coyote]

40k novels always describe tech priests speaking in "binary cant" - their own hyper efficient machine code language.

So of course it'd make sense if it was incomprehensible to the human ear

[paper haven]

A 40k content creator who's humor isn't either teenager locker room jabs or stale, archaic memes?
I don't believe you.

[storm jungle]

lmao

[queen laurel]

they get the point across fine to me

[opaque coyote]

The aliens who have long lost their souls are more human than the mechanicus

[arctic talon]

He has some stale memes

Too bad

Die

[paper haven]

Sassy tech priests always make me smile

[arctic talon]

Scaevola isn’t even sassy

She’s just a dick lol

Like constantly

[fallen plaza]

On his main channel he tends to avoid that

[arctic talon]

Mhm

[paper haven]

Not her specifically just. In general.

[opaque coyote]

Also it's funny that you can tell how "high ranking" a Mechanicus member is just by their voice

Specifically

More machine

= higher ranking

[paper haven]

So I'm correct?

[fallen plaza]

I recently went back to watch adept ridic

[arctic talon]

Idk

He’s only got 1/3

[fallen plaza]

And man, i cant stand DK sometimes

[paper haven]

Closer to the perfection of the blessed machine

[wraith quartz]

And you just had it on quickdraw

[fallen plaza]

I dont hate him purely for the fact that when DK actually host he can actually bounce of bricky well

[opaque coyote]

I think my favorite is Rhezak's tbh

[queen laurel]

@arctic talon are the main rivals in the setting of Aos for Iron Jawz the Blades of Khorne?

because i see a lot art of the two of them just duking it out

[opaque coyote]

Mainly because of the muffled sound

Makes it sound like he's truly ancient

Like an old radio

[leaden pilot]

The two things that hold back adric the most is their gooner posters and that DK is sometimes insufferable with how he forgets stuff

[paper haven]

They're just having the time of their lives

Let people enjoy things

[leaden pilot]

But yeah, when he hosts the fantasy episodes he's actually good

[fallen plaza]

Which is surprising honestly

[arctic talon]

No

[paper haven]

The analog distortion sound in recordings is really effective for that

[opaque coyote]

Honestly if they had to give them voices. They should only switch to normal speech when they're talking to a "meatbag"

[queen laurel]

then what is their so called main enemy

[arctic talon]

Anyone

Chaos is preferred

[queen laurel]

ah good shit then

[opaque coyote]

And then go back to incomprehensible when they're talking with each other

[paper haven]

Foite is foite

[opaque coyote]

Also Scalevola kept her hair

Which is probably... the only way you can ever find out that she's a woman besides reading the dialogue lmao

Although it's no longer on the top of her head?

[paper haven]

I once read a story where an Iron Warrior could speak binaric and one of the servitors insulted him. He replied that if the servitor did it again he would repurpose it for mine disposal. Which got a binaric laugh.

[opaque coyote]

Also I find it infinitely funny that there is somebody named "Reditus"

One letter away from "Redditus"

[queen laurel]

going by elite soldier against each faction how good is a brute, because apparently Ard'boyz are just straight up so strong that even though they are considered bottom tier infantry for iron jaws they can match the elites of other races

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

Usually Servitors for Chaos factions are daemon possessed ye?

[arctic talon]

Depends

[opaque coyote]

Also honestly, the Servitor probably laughed cause

[paper haven]

The combat ones for iron warriors usually are.

[opaque coyote]

That would be a blessing to him lmao

Servitor moment

[leaden pilot]

I guess that DK having notes helps lol

[paper haven]

But this was a construction servitor so, I think mostly human

[opaque coyote]

Yeah there is nothing the iron warrior can really do

[arctic talon]

Who’s writing lol

[opaque coyote]

Any threat he makes will just be a premature ending to his suffering

[paper haven]

Also might have once been an iron warrior

[opaque coyote]

It would be fucking funny if there was a Servitor that's just

permanently sassy

They tried lobotomizing him several times

[paper haven]

Based on how it wanted to fight instead of build

[opaque coyote]

But somehow he has enough brain to keep making sassy comments

And it annoys the fuck out of the tech priests

[paper haven]

Hey, servitors malfunction all the time

[opaque coyote]

I just think it would be funny

Also a last act of rebellion

Even after "death" he is still sassy

Only one that can match him is...

[queen laurel]

alright then that makes sense

[opaque coyote]

HIM

[paper haven]

Oh it would be hilarious

[opaque coyote]

sassy nurgling

[opaque coyote]

I still find it infinitely funny that Sassy Nurgling actually got a Lexicanum entry

Primarily because they actually made a plushie

"Grandpa, I'm famous!"

[paper haven]

Did a death guard marine make it a little helmet?

[arctic talon]

Nah

The nurgling has his helmet

[opaque coyote]

He's basically the champion's helmet holder

He doesn't need it anyways since helmetless SMs have a higher chance of survival

[queen laurel]

i'm more interested in this fella

[opaque coyote]

Squigma male

[queen laurel]

wait wolf how old is Archaon now

[fallen plaza]

That tongue looks a little....

[near wasp]

Don't you dare

[arctic talon]

Very

[queen laurel]

Probably more than a million years right

[fallen plaza]

Yeah

That tongue is fucking nasty

[fallen plaza]

Swag

[opaque coyote]

The Nurgling might be banished by Caedo

But in truth

He won the long war

His sassiness will forever sick in Caedo's mind

One step closer for Chaos to gain a new champion

[paper haven]

There are people who unironically believe this stuff

[tough haven]

I know

And it’s awful

[paper haven]

Not the Ork version, of course. The human version

[tough haven]

It’s funny if your an Ork though

The ork version is fun though, like everything, orks do it better

[paper haven]

The Ork version seems to actually reflect Ork society

[tough haven]

Brainwashed by con men

[tough haven]

I know, that’s why I love it

Cause I could genuinely show this to someone who knows nothing about orks and they’d get it

I also love the really poor editing lol

[opaque coyote]

The worst part is that it is actually a good introduction to the orks

[opaque coyote]

It's actually better than most tbh

Here's an example of a real intro by one of these channels

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkzCjTaruJE

[rose thorn]

they are done posting killteam rules

[arctic talon]

mhm

looks good

[opaque coyote]

I just realized that a good amount of Imperial enemies are basically perverts

Mainly Slaanesh (and all the daemons and stuff that comes with them)

And the Drukhari

Maybe Chaos Undivided counts but they pretty much worship whoever gives them a boon so it depends

Also I just realized that Chaos is pretty much just like

Climbing the corporate ladder

Except with much more murder, torture, rape, daemons, and Magic

That technically means that every Chaos SM is basically just a corporate slave if you really think about it.

I guess HR is taken quite literally in Chaos. Inc

[celest dome]

Instead of being a regular slave

[opaque coyote]

Instead of being paid with money, you get paid in blessings and power

And most try to game the system but fail miserably

[celest dome]

I don't think more Imperial get fair salaries

[opaque coyote]

Hey I didn't say they get fair salaries

I just say they get paid in money.

Sometimes

Okay only manager level and above probably

Honestly I would imagine most get paid in food stamps

Or maybe just living

[celest dome]

I'd so join a gang tbh, if I lived in a Hive

[opaque coyote]

It's also why Chaos is so enticing to regular people.

Because you actually have a chance to move up

It's miniscule

But it is a chance

And regular people actually have become Daemon Princes

But it's the equivalent to watching a documentary about how Bill Gates invented Microsoft.

Yeah sure you can technically do it.

But it requires a lot of work, cheating, and luck

So basically

Chaos is just a corporation

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE CORPOS

CAPITALISM HAS OVERTAKEN SPACE

FUCK

My face when in the grim darkness of the far future there’s no chicken tendies

Human tendies just aren’t the same

Although it does vary from person to person

eternal

do you know quickly if old dreadnoughts used 60mm bases @dusk patrol

current one uses 90mm

[rocky gale]

I know the Furioso is on 60mm

[dusk patrol]

I’m not sure, I imagine far enough back some do yeah

[rocky gale]

Death Company Dread is also 60mm

So I assume all the old ones are

[crystal forum]

so boxnaught

ok

here's an extremely accurate model of a 90mm base i made if any of you want that for some reason

i took measurments with calipers and shit then printed to compare to a real 90mm base

i even made it hollow underneath so if you make it black it looks completely identical to a real base

[arctic talon]

ngl

bases don't have to be GW plastic

There's a ton of custom bases and shit

or base extenders

I love base extenders

[crystal forum]

i made it specifically to pretend like it's a real base

for, uh, trickery

[young pecan]

This slug looks more diseased than usual

A touch withered

Are there any "smart" Ogryns in lore?

[outer wave]

There is one female psyker ogryn that is given a proper education so yes

[rocky gale]

Yes

[outer wave]

Not incredibly common though

[dawn zephyr]

are female ogryns also uncommon?

[outer wave]

No, they're just not talked about because GW

[dawn zephyr]

that tracks

[outer wave]

Yeah its weird

[dawn zephyr]

I mean i hear the big guys talk about "mum" a lot so

I like the ogryns tho, they're the only ones consistently nice to psykers

Im not super deep in the lore I had assumed they were tank break or something
