Female ogryn in theory shouldn't be uncommon GW just didn't make models for them so they lack a design and thus presence for the most part

Aside from Cassia who is both a lady AND smart

#

Ogryns are a stable human subspecies

#

ah

green loom
#

Or abhuman

#

They reproduce fine, how they came to be is anyone's guess

dawn zephyr
#

if we chose to settle Mars, Martian Humans would all be taller than Terrans after a few generations due to the low gravity

rocky gale
#

Yea they adapted to living on super high gravity worlds

#

Which should have made them smaller, but science didn't matter much to GW, so instead they became bigger

#

Because bigger = stronger

dawn zephyr
#

Might also develop stretchier muscles and cartilage to cope with the high change, and likely some cardiovascular changes to compensate for microgravity

#

outer wave
#

They were the result of humans being isolated on dangerous high-gravity worlds

I got ogres on the brain 24/7

dawn zephyr
#

Now is the reason for the cognitive differences a lack of education or purely a biological limitation?

rocky gale
# dawn zephyr Elcore would like a word

Different case, Elcor evolved naturally on a High Gravity world, whereas Ogryn are human settlers who evolved to adapt to High Gravity, so there's a baseline to compare it to

Kinda similar to the Loose Cannon Vet who also doesn't really care

Tbf Ogryns are VERY loyal to their friends and family

#

It doesnt take much to keep them loyal to the Imperium

#

Just be nice to them and feed them, keep them company, comfort them a bit

The average ones, but what if they start getting smart and think beyond their social units

That's the scary part

Zealots and Veterans always call me "freak" when I'm just keeping everything stun locked for them 😔

#

What if they are DAoT creations? Like the equivalent of strong but stupid slaves

paper haven
#

Isn't there a necromunda gang that's basically all vet grown brutes?

rocky gale
#

They're different though

#

They're the Goliaths

opaque coyote
# green loom Not unlikely

I mean the reason why mutations are a thing is partially because DAoT humanity fucked up the genome so badly that you can have a baby grow up to have 6 arms

#

So of course they would make a stable mutant slave species

shut thorn
#

anyone have that clip/vid of the white scars doing that suicide ride on terra during the horus heresy?

#

the lol we know one

opaque coyote
#

Along with the Votann existing as well

#

Who are outright stated to be clones

rocky gale
#

Goliaths were originally genetically engineered to be slaves that were grown in vats, but eventually became their own race of abhuman

opaque coyote
outer wave
#

Why dont we see more Goliaths elsewhere outside of Necromunda?

#

Are they only produced on Necromunda?

paper haven
#

They could be useful outside of necromunda.

opaque coyote
paper haven
#

They're tough and strong, smarter than ogryns

outer wave
#

But they're not Ogryns....

rocky gale
#

Well it depends

paper haven
#

They'd make great assault troops

opaque coyote
rocky gale
#

Vatborn Goliaths also have problems with intelligence

paper haven
rocky gale
#

and most Goliaths are Vatborn

outer wave
paper haven
rocky gale
#

The Natborn are naturally born from Vatborn and they are smarter

opaque coyote
#

Probably not Ogyrn slow though

rocky gale
opaque coyote
#

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Goliaths are similar to like

Neanderthals to Homo Sapiens

rocky gale
#

They basically get flash indoctrinated everything they need to know in the Vat and then just do that

opaque coyote
#

Neanderthals actually had bigger brains and more intellect than us naturally

rocky gale
#

And don't develop much past that

opaque coyote
#

But they also didn't stick together in groups as often

#

So despite being stronger and smarter.

They died out while we lived on

rocky gale
#

Also the Imperium doesn't want to spread Vatborn throughout the Galaxy because of the creation process, but if the Vatborn population continues to grow and become more stable there are Imperial plans to seed them on other worlds as Abhumans

#

Like even on Necromunda the Nobles decided the Vatborn weren't worth it anymore, the only reason they're still being produced is the Goliaths became their own House and now control the production.

opaque coyote
#

...

#

Yeah that's probably why lmao

rocky gale
#

But even they want to eventually stop using Vatborn when Natborn become a stable population

rocky gale
opaque coyote
#

I wonder if any crazy Magos biologis decided to

#

Try and make Ogyrn SMs

#

Or something

#

Actually something similar to that does exist during the Horus heresy

Vat born are like

rocky gale
#

Well they make more Vatborn but most of them are sterile

#

and there's also the Unborn

arctic talon
#

Okay people use vatgrown and vatborn interchangeably a lot me included

rocky gale
#

Who are non Goliaths who are accepted into House Goliath and get enhancements

arctic talon
#

But vatgrown is more like taking a egg and fertilizing it

#

Then growing it in a tube

rocky gale
#

So Unborn are also part of the plan bringing in more genetic diversity

paper haven
#

Yeah but that still requires genetic material. Which is a limited resource, especially in the underhive, which I think is where most stuff happens

#

Didn't know about the unborn, that makes sense

The Titus situation really highlight how SM fans see themselves from the wider Imperium.

Leandros had quite a few reasons to think that Titus was strange and might have some Chaos corruption.

And if the Codex does say "In case of Chaos suspicion, don't warn the Inquisition but deal it internally with the Chaplain", then the Inquisition, aided by the Custodes, and most Imperial Guard regiments would start to decimate the SM. It's just insubordination at the very least, or heresy at the regular

#

How I see the ||Leandros ||situation

storm jungle
#

I mean yeah its not wrong lol

#

Leandros did more or less the expected thing from a brainwashed supersoldier

young pecan
#

That fucking bird that I hate

storm jungle
celest dome
# celest dome > The Titus situation really highlight how SM fans see themselves from the wider...

Reply I got for this comment:

The book was written before the Inquisition were a thing..

So while going to the Inquisition is definitely something to do, it's not the first thing.

First step when you suspect it, is to report it to a Chaplain.
The Chaplain is then the person that decides how to deal with it. Require penance in some way (usually things like going into battle without ammo or with striped down armour or something),
Can determine there's nothing wrong
Could execute them themselves
Or report to Inquisition for further investigation.

The Marines do a lot of things the Imperium would consider Heresy, but they're marines, what you gonna do about it.

For one, most of then hold to the Imperial truth and don't believe emps is a god

#

Single comment

storm jungle
#

There was literally no chaplain on the scene and it was after a big chaos invasion.

#

Also "what are you gonna do about it"

#

lol lmao

#

Months of Shame much 💀

celest dome
#

Also I'm not certain on the timeline of Inqusition compared to codex being written

storm jungle
#

Its timeline doesnt exactly matter.

#

Like Leandros essentially did the "acceptable" thing at the end of game 1.

queen laurel
#

Literally in the second game as well warp exposure it's one of the most brought up things Titus does

#

he literally held a pure warp battery on his hands and didn't even suffer much damage

hallow plover
#

Titus spends the game telling Leandros to go out of the box and think from himself and the moment he does that he hands Titus to the inquisition. ||then he goes back to being a codex purist chaplain in sm2||

#

But his doubts about Titus were reasonable

queen laurel

#

We'll know either in a DLC or SM3

#

LMAO

fallen plaza
storm jungle
#

It WAS absolutely snitching however

#

but i do like how GW was like

#

"No we gotta get titus back"

#

marks Inquisitor Thrax as a gooner who stores space marines in cryostasis for heresy for some reason

#

like that was fucking WILD

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

But yeah, it was snitching

storm jungle
#

Yeah they literally had to make the Inquisitor as wrong as possible to get Titus back.

#

Its actually a bit comical.

#

if they wanted to do more they'd have made him have exterminatus'd like 10 chapter worlds or something

fallen plaza
#

Still better than the original idea for sm2

queen laurel

Where they wanted him to start his own chapter

rocky gale
#

Good ole Titus, Chapter Master of the Sons of Titus

fallen marsh
#

That would be fun

celest dome
#

Honestly have the Inquisitor pull out Titus and many other SM out of cold storage to be used. With Titus being made to work alongside SM that actually seem even more suspicious than what he is, while other don't seem more suspicious but actually still id

dusk patrol
#

He and the other marines were checked for chaos taint and then Titus rejected returning to the chapter and became a Deathwatch Blackshield instead

celest dome
#

Is Calgar even referring to that issue ? Like at all ?

dusk patrol
#

I think it’s more just a complicated situation and he’s happy it seems to be resolved

#

It’s not like they could find him until they did, he had taken another name and no one inside DW who knew would say where he was

paper haven
#

Every chaos enemy has mentioned that Titus seemed likely to join them. Of course that could just be chaos mind games

dusk patrol
#

As Leandros said he had more than served his penance and was cleared so that’s that.

#

It had been 200 years since Graia

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Leandros still isn’t gonna ever fully trust him because that’s his job

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

He’s always gonna be watching him and waiting to see if he turns

rocky gale
dusk patrol
#

I mean would you prefer he like

#

Cackle evilly

#

Obviously they didn’t have that plan yet for him

#

But it’s not like he has to act all evil and conniving

storm jungle
rocky gale
#

Yea but that's the point, they turned him evil to justify Titus being locked up, but the implication wasn't that Titus was going to be locked up

storm jungle
#

Its very badly written and tacked on

#

hes literally comically evil just to get Titus off the hook

dusk patrol
#

He can be both orderly and whatever and also be goofy evil

storm jungle
#

Yeah if the evil made sense lol

#

keeping astartes in cumjars is not really that

dusk patrol
#

He hates marines

#

That’s it

#

We see him for like five seconds

storm jungle
#

Im aware

#

its still stupid

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

It makes as much sense as any other inquisitor quirk in 40k

#

An inquisitor who hates marines isn’t really that crazy of an idea

rocky gale
#

Just seems odd like he hates Space Marines sure, but surely then he would disarm the Space Marine he was arresting

dusk patrol
#

Why?

rocky gale
#

Because you typically take someones weapon away when arresting them

celest dome
#

Cause that's standard procedure when you are arresting someone

storm jungle
#

I can kinda get where shes coming from.

dusk patrol
#

He was complying and maybe they did it the next five seconds in the super short cutscene

storm jungle
#

At no point do you really get the vibe that this guy is gonna put Titus in a jar.

rocky gale
#

Him not taking Titus' weapon is unusual for the situation

celest dome
#

Feel like we're back to that Custodes vs Primaris short story

storm jungle
#

Why is he even here with black templars then

#

just random escorts because he hates marines?

winter vessel
#

But off innit

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

you can get titus off the hook without going into something this dumb

dusk patrol
#

He shows up for 20 seconds, noting about his appearance indicates anything

storm jungle
#

like just make him some more normal-tier evil inquisitors instead of storing astartes in collectible packs

paper haven
#

There are fairly consistent ways to test for corruption.

dusk patrol
#

That’s very normal tier evil inquisitor

#

The dude wasn’t even that evil by inquisitor standards

storm jungle
#

This just comes across as bad writing cope tbh.

winter vessel
#

Initially I thought the inquisitor was putting on a show, but secretly was backing Titus. Like a “I’m on your side if you comply”. But no, he just dislikes Astartes

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

this is just kinda weak

dusk patrol
#

He wasn’t even like fallen or whatever or that radical

storm jungle
#

"that radical"

#

bruh lol

#

It’s lame for an off screen death

dusk patrol
#

Hating marines isn’t even that crazy for the inquisition

Its not really hating marines, its more how Titus ends up where he does KEKW_ogryn

Like theres nothing wrong with admitting this is silly

#

i dont know why this is such a debating point

opaque coyote

I mean to be honest Inquisitors are kinda

It doesn’t really matter to me much for that part I just think it’s silly that he would somehow obviously telegraph all this in a 20 second interaction we see him in

Differing in opinions because they are

#

There’s no rules for inquisitors either really

storm jungle
#

you are just kinda focusing on the wrong thing again

I think the Sisters are also generally uncomfortable with SMs as well right?

dusk patrol
#

I’m focusing on what I was responding to

storm jungle
#

If you say so lol

storm jungle
#

they are still mutants

dusk patrol
#

The idea of an inquisitor who, for reasons we don’t know that are myriad, has a grudge against marines isn’t that wild

storm jungle
#

Theres also stories where they outright show hostility to marines as well

We’ve seen two others major inquisitors with similar deals in books which the plot revolves around

by touching a broken tech thingy and making it work

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

obviously not everyone bought it

#

but most did

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

like most religions lol

#

people are kinda stupid

dusk patrol
#

Maybe, it’s not clear and we don’t know, there’s stuff to suggest he is and isn’t and those who are aware of the distinction have arguments both ways when it comes up

dense dawn
#

Okay all this time the mechanicus people were kinda smart...

storm jungle
#

Nah they are dumb

#

they do know their tech tho

dusk patrol
#

They are and aren’t

storm jungle
#

well mostly

dense dawn
dusk patrol
#

It depends on what field

storm jungle
#

its under mars

dusk patrol
storm jungle
rocky gale
#

They changed the Mechanicum to the Mechanicus, typical woke GW

dense dawn
#

Is that like a warp spider like meme or..

dusk patrol
#

Also it’s never confirmed it’s there or what influence it has

storm jungle
#

but basically its under Mars

#

and was put there by the Emperor

dusk patrol
#

It’s implied to be there largely in one book

storm jungle
#

we dont know much about its abode aside from a few things

#

so there isnt that much lore on it atm

dense dawn
#

So there's a literally fucking dragon under mars

dusk patrol
#

We don’t even know if it was out there by him or was just there and beaten by him

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much.

dusk patrol
opaque coyote
# storm jungle obviously not everyone bought it

To be fair

You see a man wearing golden power armor walk in the poisonous air of Mars. Seemingly without any technology. Wielding a flaming sword, and radiating light.

Glowing and filled with radiant energy. He literally just touches a piece of technology that has been broken for centuries. People have been trying to figure out how to repair it.

And then it magically gets fixed

Idk about you, but I'd bow the fuck down.

dense dawn
#

And terra is earth right?
So it's not very far away to the throne world

dusk patrol
#

It’s a name for a C’tan

#

Yes

dense dawn
storm jungle
#

well that and fiction can be pretty convincing

dusk patrol
rocky gale
#

If I remember rightly there's also the implication that the Emperor fighting the Void Dragon inspired the Legend of St George

dusk patrol
#

Necrons shattered them

storm jungle
dense dawn
storm jungle
#

but its written flowery enough to kinda leave it as is

dense dawn
#

Or smt

rocky gale
#

Oh nice, haven't read the book

storm jungle
#

Yeah dont

#

its not worth it

dusk patrol
#

It’s complicated basically

storm jungle
#

OH WAIT

#

No thats Mechanicum, yes read it

#

its a great book

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

We dont really know what he did

#

he probably used his mary sue psyker powers

#

and blew it up

#

Then it just got mytho'd

dusk patrol
#

He wasn’t that strong back then but regardless it’s meant to be unclear and ambiguous what it all means

#

And if it’s even true

fallen plaza
dusk patrol
#

And please let it never be actually shown

storm jungle
#

I dont understand like

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

why anyone in this fandom thinks things will remian mysteries lol

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

slop novels will explain slop subjects from the past

storm jungle

fallen plaza

Sloppa

storm jungle
#

ones that dont matter

#

lmao

dusk patrol
#

Tbh this one doesn’t matter much

storm jungle
#

Like further in the future we are absolutely gonna learn shit like where tyranids come from

#

because they cannot resist

dusk patrol
#

Also, you don’t know same as me

#

Like maybe, maybe not

storm jungle
#

its the same with any fictional setting

dusk patrol
#

It’s up to them

dusk patrol
#

This isn’t some deep point

fallen marsh
storm jungle
#

Its not really suppose to be deep

dusk patrol
#

Yes if Gamesworkshop decides to reveal it they will

storm jungle
#

its suppose to provide entertainment and wojakpoint moments

#

Like we didnt need to know what attracted the nids here

#

and they revealed it in a literal post-book moment

#

for no reason lol

dusk patrol
#

Yes if Games workshop decides to not reveal it they won’t

storm jungle
#

Damn you tell me GW decides these things?

dusk patrol
#

It’s just a pointless discussion

storm jungle
#

Its really not.

#

Like its just gonna happen.

#

theres no discussion lol

dusk patrol
#

Or it might not lol

storm jungle
#

If I went back in time and said the Gathering Storm was gonna happen people would say "lol it wont happen".

dusk patrol
#

You don’t know and I don’t

storm jungle
#

its pretty much the same here

fallen plaza
dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

Its an expected path.

dusk patrol
#

We could get a war in Heaven series ten years from now, or it could never really be expanded on much beyond small snippets like we get now. We don’t know.

storm jungle
#

Yeah I got the gist Mr Semantics.

dusk patrol
#

You’re the one talking in absolutes

storm jungle
#

LMAO

dusk patrol
#

I’m the one taking a vaguely measured stance

storm jungle
#

Okay thats a bit much but yeah not wrong

fallen plaza
#

Sigh

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

I agreed they could, just as much as it could also never be fully explained or talked about again

storm jungle
#

Agree to disagree.

fallen plaza
#

Good

||Eternal I had like other users complain about you in my DMs he isnt alone||

dusk patrol
#

I don’t care if they complain, I care if what I’m doing is actually wrong

#

Which it isn’t

storm jungle

I mean I also dont care if you dont.

Just stop making dumb arguments.

Ugh god here we go again.

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

I Mean you do it everyday it's kind of predictable now

forest orbit
# dusk patrol Like this for example

Either way like I mean no offense but while you can be sometimes fun to talk to you are genuinely extremely annoying when you cant just shut up and go "agree to disagree" and just gotta have a high ground constantly, and then call the people arguing with you a strawman.

storm jungle
#

Well either way take it to DMs i guess lol

fallen plaza
#

Take your pacifier with you too

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

And again

#

DMs.

#

last warning before I start timing people out at this point.

forest orbit
#

ugh

#

fine

fallen plaza
#

You guys take it there

storm jungle
#

You too Zimmer, shut up.

#

or genuinely just move on

fallen plaza
#

Anyways

#

Every since ive moved abroad ive been craving cheese ever since

rocky gale
#

Sometimes I open Lore chat and it's like watching those big Elephant seals slapping into eachother

fallen plaza
#

Ive eaten a lot, yet i still crave more

outer wave
#

They're big, scary, and yet funky lookin' creatures

rocky gale
#

I like the big floppy noses

dusk patrol
#

Now I’ll be honest there, elephant seals a lot of things

#

But idk about cool

outer wave
#

Sunfish are so cool

dusk patrol

Dangerous as fuck though

outer wave
#

They're big silly guys

dusk patrol

Oh yeah elephant seals are dangerous

dusk patrol

#

LOOK AT MY BOY

#

MY UGLY SON

rocky gale
#

I feel like he's judging me

dusk patrol
#

I do like when we name stuff using other animal names

fallen plaza
#

You know what terrifies me more than big and fast animals

#

Monkeys

#

I fucking hate those shitheads

rocky gale
#

He's got the same energy as the homophobic dog

dusk patrol
#

Chimps are scarier imo

outer wave
#

Chimps are horrifying

#

You accidentally smile and suddenly you're being ripped apart

queen laurel
#

Chimps know how to torture people and openly do so

fallen plaza
#

Any ape is nasty, from chimpan a to chimpanzee

dusk patrol
#

The face ripping off part I think

#

Is a big deal breaker for me

#

Call me picky

fallen plaza
#

Nah its valid

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Orangutans are cool though

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
#

Any excuse to get prosthetic’s amiright?

queen laurel
#

Sharks got hoed

#

They are most of the time would rather avoid humans

#

Dolphins though

#

Fuck them

dusk patrol
#

Orangutans seem chill but idk if I’m just seeing too much orangutan propaganda

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
queen laurel

#

Shark are sea dogs.

rocky gale

Like as far as we can tell there has never been a recorded case of an Orangutan killing a person

queen laurel
fallen plaza

#

They're just chill dudes

dusk patrol
#

It’s really fucking weird

fallen plaza
#

What where those scientists smoking

arctic talon

Some good old nose candy

dusk patrol

#

You can smoke that no way

dusk patrol

I refuse to believe someone up high wasn’t just getting off to that

fallen plaza

Idk

queen laurel

If we're going by disgusting though

arctic talon

Prolly not

queen laurel
#

This penguin right here

#

Can burn in hell

dusk patrol
#

Isn’t it like kills kids or something

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

there you go

queen laurel
#

And the literal ground

dusk patrol
#

Oh lol

#

Oof

#

Horny bastards

fallen plaza
#

I was gonna say killing children is pretty common for animals

#

But skull fucking is definitely unique yeah

spring cairn
#

it's an industry standard, killing children that is

opaque coyote
spring cairn
#

if you're a non-human animal

dusk patrol
#

Yeah yeah the infanticide, we’ve all seen it

fallen plaza

Heck humans for period of time viewed children as disposable

I like the uh

#

Floaty effect

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

He’s like some

Deathrattle nighthaunt hybrid I think

dusk patrol

When does anniversary stuff come out

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

imma be honest

#

skeletons in armor

#

i'm over those

#

they all look the same

dusk patrol

I like the float effect he has

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

But yeah the Nighthaunt stuff, some I love

dusk patrol
#

Some are eh for me

fallen plaza
spring cairn
#

meh

arctic talon
#

I wish he was a full nighthaunt or a full deathrattle dude

#

But the idea is neat

fallen plaza
#

We need more big units for aos

arctic talon
#

It’s a ghost skeleton

#

It goes hard

fallen plaza
#

Wheres my goblinhewer for fyreslayers

arctic talon
#

Fyreslayers get giant lizard

fallen plaza

Lame

spring cairn

Where are the vehicles

Cities of ligmar

Like these are the only two Mortarchs I like really as models

#

give fyreslayers motorcycle you cowards

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

There’s more

#

I just can’t think of them rn

#

💀

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

If we include cannons as “vehicles”

fallen plaza
#

And no skaven dont count, those have been there since fantasy

arctic talon
#

They have new ones

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

So those count

dusk patrol
spring cairn
#

a low blow kruti

dusk patrol
#

It’s always a low blow from a Dawi wazzock

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

You come pre-lowed silly

spring cairn
#

no

fallen plaza
#

Thats the difference

dusk patrol
#

Fyreslayers do not do it for me

#

At all

spring cairn
#

untrustworthy

#

I do not like the fyresalers at all aswell

#

unlike the flying steampunk dwarfs

arctic talon
#

I don’t like them either

spring cairn
#

now

#

that is peak

fallen plaza
#

I do not like dwarves being separated based off all the cool shit they had in fantasy

arctic talon
#

Also goblinhewers are in cites

queen laurel
#

Yeah the empire equivalent

arctic talon
#

Tbh

spring cairn
#

they should've all been steampunk dwarfs even the slayers

queen laurel
#

It's in there

fallen plaza
#

Imagine

#

Steampunk slayers

queen laurel
#

Cities is basically a mixture of old high elf old dwarves and empire

spring cairn
#

double edged power axes

arctic talon
#

The main weakness is that slayers have a hard time getting into melee

#

I do not want to play into khadron with drive by fucking jumpings

spring cairn
#

slayers with gyro packs

#

it would be so good

#

jump pack slayers

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

assault slayers let's go

fallen plaza
#

Gyro-bombers but they just throw slayers

celest dome
#

Dwarf did have subdued Beast in Battle fantasy, Shard Dragon

fallen plaza
#

Or just axes

dusk patrol
#

Fyreslayers my issue is, I liked Slayers

#

But not as like, a whole army

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Its too much

#

as justs an army

dusk patrol
#

Also they don’t look as cool as slayers imo

arctic talon
#

They naked look

#

is not neat

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

queen laurel
#

Well at least the destruction factions are cooking

fallen plaza
#

GRIMNIRRRRRR

dusk patrol
#

The trousers really tied it all together

celest dome
#

Their pants were better

queen laurel
#

Each one of them have personalities

arctic talon
#

Pants >

spring cairn
#

the son of ungrim had his dongliz hanging out

arctic talon
#

whatever they're wearing now

spring cairn
#

so pants are optional

#

if you're a slayer

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

but the pants were cooler

#

imo lol

dusk patrol
celest dome
queen laurel
# arctic talon yeah

Oh yeah wolf you still haven't answered my question, do they play like a magical army where you can also hit hard in the tabletop?

spring cairn
#

i think the more elite a slayer gets

dusk patrol
#

Let’s you triple wield

spring cairn
#

the crazier

#

so the less pants

celest dome
#

Fyreslayee

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Oh

#

they just fucking beat the shit out of you

dusk patrol
#

Khadron are my boys

arctic talon
#

pretty violently strong melee army

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

with strong swing turns

#

dawi
magic

celest dome
#

Pick one

spring cairn
#

i pick runesmithing

#

get bent

queen laurel
#

Urgold whatever

fallen plaza
#

Dawi magic?! BBBBBHHHHRRRGGGHHHH

queen laurel
#

What's the special thing it does in table top

dusk patrol
#

Their magic is that bolt of lighting that just went through your heart from my gun wazzock!

queen laurel
#

It gives them like fire powers right

arctic talon
#

you can activate a Ur Gold Rune

#

every start of a battleround

#

they give big buffs

fallen plaza
#

Oh where have all the gobbos go why did they all run awayyyy…..

spring cairn
#

can fyreslayer explode

arctic talon
#

And then you roll a dice

#

on a 6

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

and if not

arctic talon
#

you get fucking roids

#

lol

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

when will they be able to

arctic talon
#

on a 1-5 its just strong

#

certian units can also swear "oaths"

queen laurel
#

The urgold runes have a chance to violently make them explode if they didn't handle it well

#

Because it's made out of grimnir

arctic talon
#

but Fyreslayers have

spring cairn
#

also while i'm here, do Iron Hands color their helmets differently based on ranks like the ultramarines and their red helmet stuff

arctic talon
#

a lot of smashy creatures

#

Along with powerful melee

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

no

#

thats stormcast

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Stormcast, Ironjawz, Chaos Warriors(without puny mortals), Ossiarchs

#

all fall into the same catagory

queen laurel
#

Oh

arctic talon
#

of big strong army

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

yeah

#

and they have access to some smashy monsters

#

Fyreslayers don't really have an equivalent

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Ogres fall into the I won't play against you below 2000 points catagory

#

Ogers are custodes like

#

lol

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Gloomspite are a fucked up horde army

arctic talon
#

because they're old

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Lots of tricks

queen laurel
#

You can also play them pretty bashy

arctic talon
#

I wouldn't recomend it

queen laurel
#

If you go with the troghorde

arctic talon
#

but you could

queen laurel
#

With like the big troll guy

#

That has a literal lay stone on top of themsel

queen laurel
# arctic talon but you could

Isn't like one of the renowned armies like A troggoth horde with the special character that is the trollking with the lay stone on top of him

arctic talon
#

yeah

queen laurel
#

So you can play them pretty straightforward with trolls

arctic talon
#

you could

#

but then you couldn't get a chaos warrior high on mushrooms

queen laurel
#

And i'm pretty sure i can guess the play style of the sons of behamat

#

They are the noobs stomper knight army from 40k

arctic talon
#

Behamat are more skillful then knights

#

because they don't get to blow people off the board lol

fallen plaza
#

Dirty dirty knights

queen laurel
#

Lord

#

In the table top

arctic talon
#

Ogres are overdue

#

for a refresh

#

then again so were Flesheater courts lol

queen laurel
#

They constantly mentioned him in the tome may as will make him a model

#

And also that infamous beastclaw raider

fallen plaza
#

That reminds me

#

God i hope huron gets a new model

dusk patrol
#

I hope so too

#

I doubt it unfortunately but I hope so

fallen plaza
#

His loyalist model was also very cool

arctic talon
#

Huron needs one

fallen plaza
#

And the techpriest model too

arctic talon
#

Red Corsairs literally got new lore in the codex

#

lol

fallen plaza
#

Its probably my favorite techpriest model

arctic talon
#

you talking about the tech marine dude?

#

with the whips and the weird ass gun

dusk patrol
#

It’s a conversion beamer smh

fallen plaza
#

With the conversion beamer yes

dusk patrol
#

Conversion beamer is

fallen plaza
#

The dude is so blocky i might have a chance to make him

dusk patrol
#

Such a 40k name

#

Especially for how devastating a weapon it is

fallen plaza
#

I think the term twin-linked is very 40k to me more

#

I dont think ive seen that term used outside of 40k
