i can't call him shit because he's good at writing

#

it's just that it feels like he barely cares idk

rocky gale

I have returned from class

crisp heath

Go study

Maths hard

What type of math

crisp heath
#

I’m going to class now for cpr certification

rocky gale

The Math kind

storm jungle

you will extremely notice this effect the more you read his stuff

radiant lance
#

What would happen if Kirby swallowed the God Emperor?

crystal forum
#

oh yeah i mean the lack of editing is just BL as a whole

rocky gale

They made me do a test to see what my level was and turns out I've forgot how to divide

crisp heath

it feels like GW never cuts out anything from stories

bloated ass books

Would the 40k setting change if Kirby ate the God Emperor?

bruh

storm jungle
#

yeah when i read that

crisp heath

#

after all 3 volumes

#

i was like

#

"what the fuck"

dusk patrol
crisp heath
#

No transport, no armies, no food

crystal forum
#

they actually wrote that in like it's something to be proud of?

dusk patrol
#

We can test one of these things

storm jungle
radiant lance
storm jungle
#

the afterword section is like 10 pages long

#

its mostly Dan just venting

#

and saying how hard these books were to write

#

and im like

#

"So maybe just dont write so much and get an actual editor that does his job???"

#

like he also says shit like the Emperor being ""morally ambigious""

#

Huh? KEK

opaque coyote
#

TF does he mean

storm jungle
#

Yeah I got no idea what he mean tby that.

#

i think he thought its "good for discussion"

#

when most pro-Emperor people are very unhinged IRL

gray umbra
#

He has a sword called barabisater that is made from the broken fragments of a sword used by carthaen swordswomen who use a very specific style of swordsmanship

#

It is essentially a katana

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

Anyway that aside yeah Abnett basically just needs someone to tell him to sometimes just stop lol

storm jungle
#

And like

#

YOU ACKNOWLDGING THIS DOESNT MAKE IT BETTER

radiant lance
#

Keep a spreadsheet

crystal forum
#

dan always has way too many characters man

storm jungle
#

fuck your spreadsheet

crystal forum
#

and props to him for putting time into developing them all but like dude chill

#

eisenhorn surprisingly has few characters for a dan book

#

series

#

the first book has a handful

#

second major book he starts with a big group but then he goes with a small team

radiant lance
storm jungle
radiant lance
#

Can you Ctrl f on it

crystal forum
#

you know shit's bad when they have to list the characters

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

I don’t have issues keeping track of the characters but I’m also not a dumbass and pay vague attention so maybe that’s part of it

radiant lance
#

This feels like a quantity over quality issue

dusk patrol
#

Arguably my issue was actually there wasn’t enough characters

storm jungle
#

it includes literal fucking nobody NPC people too lol

leaden pilot
#

Not a fan of a books that make me think "who the fuck are you again" when starting a chapter with a perspective shift

storm jungle
gray umbra
#

Yes like kyle the flametrooper who will die like 2 pages later

storm jungle
#

crystal forum
#

something that annoys me in eisenhorn is he uses first and last names interchangeably so you're supposed to learn two fucking names per character

DO NOT DO THIS

gray umbra
#

Because some ork shot his promethium tank

dusk patrol
#

There is a funny moment in the GG books

green loom
dusk patrol
#

Where they’re sneaking through a facility and there’s four teams.

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

And A team has all the main dudes so you know they’re ok

dusk patrol
#

B and C have some main dudes so they’re probably ok

#

Then at the end of the chapter it switches to D team without a single character you recognize and it’s like

#

“Oh yeah I wonder what’s gonna happen.”

#

And they all die.

"i request going into the drop pod with brother "no helmet bob"

opaque coyote
#

A helmetless Word Bearer (back when they were loyalist)

#

Got a spear thrown through his neck by a tribal cause he wasn't wearing a helmet

#

He managed to kill the warrior that did this but then died

#

Because even the Emperor's gene engineering can't solve

#

"SPEAR THROUGH NECK = DEATH"

#

It was like a stone spear I believe also. To add insult to injury

#

They didn't even have guns and shit. The word bearer literally died because he was a dumbass

opaque coyote
#

It was a wooden one

leaden pilot

Space Marine OSHA, when

There was also a Veteran Iron Snake that had to take off his helmet because daemons were scrambling the sensors and shit

And he got shot in the head by an auto gun and died

Does anyone know the most likely origin of when Big E was born?

Apparently some where in the Mediterranean

rocky gale

Was it not Anatolia

Dunno

I think you guys thought it was

rocky gale
#

"The Emperor was born to mortal parents on Terra in the 8th Millennium BC[3b] in a primitive proto-Hittite village along the banks of the Sakarya River[14c] (in Anatolia)"

paper haven

Most likely somewhere in the fertile crescent.

  • Emps towards his sons
young pecan
#

I definitely did NOT expect BC

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I kinda wish we got a backstory for why the Emperor hates religion so much.

But at the same time his character is so inconsistent that I'm afraid to make it even more complicated lmao

arctic talon
#

It’s Anatolia

young pecan
#

Religion does tend to get in the way of unity ||and, at the behest of sounding like a Redditor, logic too||

rocky gale
#

He was Jesus so

opaque coyote
#

In that he was basically a Bible thumper

paper haven
#

A militant redditor atheist.

opaque coyote
#

It's kinda like seeing your past mistakes reflected on your kid. Like he sees Lorgar doing something he did in the past

And he tries to prevent that.

Just in the worst way humanly possible

When in the history of ever has super punishment actually changed anyone's mind?

If it's not Lexicanum, then you can ignore it

Is that one unreliable?

gray umbra

Servitorization works

young pecan
#

Ahh

gray umbra
#

Kinda

opaque coyote
#

100%

#

Fandom Wiki is basically written by servitors

paper haven
#

One is the correct wiki, the other only lies.

opaque coyote
#

I swear

arctic talon
#

Fandom wiki is

#

Horrid

#

Lexicanum is less horrid

#

I hate how 40k has no good wikis

opaque coyote
rocky gale
#

Fandom Wiki has a mix of real lore, lore that's no longer canon, memelore in places and people will also just make shit up to fill in the gaps

opaque coyote
#

But it does have some info that is missing also

#

Like the description for Force weapons is literally a paragraph

#

Thanks

crystal forum
#

the lexicanum actually captions images of models with what edition they're from which is very helpful

opaque coyote
#

I literally learned that they implemented crystals into the sword by fucking r/40klore

paper haven
# gray umbra Servitorization works

Severing a person's prefrontal cortex might literally change their mind but I doubt that their beliefs, insofar as they can even exist after that point, will change.

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

Ahh okay so the Lexicanum confirms Anatolia at that time period as the surefire answer

crystal forum
#

the wiki annoys the shit out if me with how it takes itself seriously

young pecan
#

But elaborates that his birth and powers was because the fucking shaman Illuminati

rocky gale
paper haven
rocky gale
#

VS the Fandom page which includes lore from the 90s which is no longer acknowledged

crystal forum
#

no sources either

opaque coyote
#

Although it is also the only backstory for the Emps

#

So

#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

i dont understand how wikis work

#

who decided who's admin

opaque coyote
#

I mean there are theories that he is a Golden Man from the DAot

crystal forum
#

just whoever the fuck created the wiki first?

opaque coyote
#

And that he was a super weapon

#

But there is little evidence

#

It's a cool idea tho

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

also lexicanum ads are starting to border on wiki level

opaque coyote
#

Like literally some fandom wikis are closer to fanfic sites

crystal forum
#

but at least the lexicanum doesnt force me to load a fucking video on my data

opaque coyote
#

You can literally create a wiki about anything

crystal forum
#

like fuck you wiki

soft thunder
#

I'm just glad the lex cites it sources at minimum

opaque coyote
#

As an actual question. What does Gothic sound like

crystal forum
#

low or high

soft thunder
opaque coyote
#

Like what we hear is translated. And both Low and High Gothic are essentially entirely different languages

crystal forum
#

there's infinite variations of low gothic

#

it's the slang

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

U fokin wot m8 cor blimey

opaque coyote
#

Like it's basically an alien tongue if we didn't have to translated

crystal forum
#

dan abnet will literally use shakespear english to represent old gothic

opaque coyote
# crystal forum it's the slang

Do translators even exist.

Like sci Fi level translators where they use some type of tech algorithm to try and decipher wtf they're saying

crystal forum
#

it's common in books that hive scum speak some dumb variation of low gothic

soft thunder
#

any rundown mook can edit it lol

opaque coyote
#

Or is it just the good old

Grab someone who knows both high gothic and the local language. And pray to the Emperor that they can translate

young pecan
#

In 40k universe, our kind of technology never got developed, right?

crystal forum
#

what does this mean

young pecan
#

Or just lost

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

Like cell phones

#

In terms of computers I guess

arctic talon
#

Cellphones existed

#

We know the USSR existed

crystal forum
#

as far as we're aware 40k went through a similar if not exact history as we did

arctic talon
#

Because of a toy rocket malcador has

opaque coyote

#

DAoT humanity did manage to get widespread AI

Before they went crazy and started murdering everyone

storm jungle
young pecan
arctic talon
#

Vox are radios

storm jungle
#

Like phones do exist but its just some shit with a latin name and not widespread

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Radio communication is more common then phones

#

Which is funny

crystal forum
#

communications in 40k are made complicated by warp stuff

opaque coyote
# storm jungle Forms of comms are very WW2

Tbf I think it's mainly because the only form of communication across systems is literally just using the Warp and pray that your message doesn't get fucked with or misses

storm jungle
#

basic comms still exists, its just not usable for most people

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

also just any kind if computer miniaturization is rare since you have servitors doing that

soft thunder
#

Isn't the noosphere that admech use more like wifi/phones/internet?

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

I totally forgot Noosphere existed

opaque coyote
#

And you have to be in their general vicinity

young pecan
#

I have no idea what that is xd

#

Oh that's sweet

viral halo

Do they have tiktok and instagram reels in the imperium

opaque coyote

Also you have to know the legendary, ancient language known as... BINARY.

#

And I can imagine Cawl "Not an AI" Inferior shit posting and spamming to

"HAVE CAWL BECOME FABRICATOR GENERAL"

And it's just constant spam

#

There are several bots that just post

#

"HAVE CAWL BECOME FABRICATOR GENERAL"

#

Daily

crystal forum
#

nobody likes talking to tech priests

#

not even tech priests

#

40k has IT workers

opaque coyote
#

I love how Cawl genuinely loves his creations but all his creations want to fucking kill him

#

"Alpha Primarius. It's your birthday! I baked you a cake!"

arctic talon
#

Cawl is like

#

controversial on Mars ll

soft thunder
#

Primus - fucking miserable and depressed

arctic talon
#

he's not actively KILL HIM NOWW

#

by the entire population

opaque coyote

"Father, why did you make me constantly in pain."

Cawl is not liked by Metalica at all

but that postion has changed marginally

cant wait for the next mechanicus book to explain wtf happened to gryphonne IV

arctic talon
#

We know what happened to it

#

it got fucking eaten

opaque coyote
#

(without disguising it as a long lost STC fragment)

crystal forum
#

better than that i mean

arctic talon
#

They literally faced the full brunt of hive fleet leviathan

#

They tried for months but they got overrun eventually

#

because it was the entire fucking hivefleet

crystal forum
#

i want a full book about it

#

the siege of gryphonne IV

arctic talon
#

well thats not what we're getting

young pecan
#

Big E made a mistake not leaving Hinduism and Buddhism be or smth

arctic talon
#

we're getting a book on a tech priest trying to fix it

soft thunder
#

who's on the cover? is that Gryphon 4 aesthetic or metalica?

opaque coyote
#

Also Cawl does genuinely get results

crystal forum
#

i wanna see all the cool forge world side models from gryphonne IV fight early era nids

opaque coyote
#

So he can't be touched precisely because that Primaris sauce is too good

#

Oh and also most of the other shit

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

There were survivors

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I think the only one that sucks is his new dreadnought pattern

arctic talon
#

yes

#

Redemptor is like the leviathan

#

in terms of usage

crystal forum
#

it's still salvageable after it got nommed?

arctic talon
#

Uh

#

Prolly not lol

crystal forum
#

nids must have really enjoyed tasting that oil

#

unironically

#

that's straight biofuel right there

storm jungle
#

Nids straight up remove/get planet cores

#

even dreadnaught chassis' got minerals and other shit on it

#

"biomass" does not simply equate to organic material

languid meadow
#

hmmm so full planet cores

storm jungle
#

also they even steal the fucking air

soft thunder
#

lead and iron vitamins

storm jungle
#

so theres no atmosphere left lmao

crystal forum
#

reminder that some votaan have canonically attacked nids to extract their minerals

#

this is why space dwarves rule

young pecan
storm jungle
#

yeah basically terraforming planets destroyed by nids

#

which is pretty stupid

#

but lol

paper haven
#

Tyrannids strip planets completely, I think I heard once that the planets they leave behind tend to break apart into asteroids

storm jungle
#

Its generally left as a dead husk most of the time but im not sure how badly removing a planet's core effects it lol

young pecan
#

And also deal with the whole missing core thing

paper haven
#

Yeah but there's nothing of value on the planet itself. Terraforming it would probably take more work than just finding another planet

storm jungle
#

yeah and planets do these to planets constantly

#

its why Cawl's plan is a bit uh 💀

young pecan
#

At the same time not many planets can sustain life in the first place, so if an agri world is the goal then maybe? Maybe worth

plush mason
#

they dont actually go that deep into a world's crust

paper haven
#

No clue, haven't read it.

#

If new lore says it's only surface level, that's a direct contradiction of old lore where they strip a planet completely all the way to the core

plush mason
#

its the one where he was out looking for the remains of the Pharos thing from the heresy

#

iirc it also says the reason worlds that get eaten by the nids arent retaken and terraformed is because the imperium outlawed it

#

so when Cawl scans the planet where the Pharos' remains are and finds water and microbes deep inside the mantle he proposes that terraforming it could be viable and only take a few centuries (a short time for him) and gets told to stfu about it as such talk could get him executed

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

It isn’t banned

#

The nids are just being pickier eaters now lore wise

rose thorn
#

It’s probably that moon that eats planets

#

If I had to guess

opaque coyote
#

So there are depictions of the Trinity. Which makes me wonder how the machine God trio would be depicted in artwork for 40k

#

The Omnissiah would be depicted as the Emperor (of course)

#

The Deus Mechanicus is basically "The Father" in this instance so I would imagine he would basically be a clump of machinery and wires

#

And finally the Motive Force is essentially the force that gives life it's motion and continued existence.

Usually depictions of the "Holy Spirit" basically have it as a dove.

So maybe it would be kind of bird or something idk

The bar for embarrassment shouldn't really bother you, we play with toy soldiers and sometimes pretend they can be serious

fallen plaza
#

Although I don't watch him much

green loom
#

True he's pretty based

fallen plaza
#

I find him too neutral sometimes, in terms of list building

#

Like instead of telling you the rules of the unit he would just list the lore behind it

storm jungle
#

He does tell the rules, it just kinda depends on the video.

#

its mostly him trying to make the video more digestible for people also getting into stuff like 30k as well

crisp heath
#

I used to listen to Luetin videos to fall asleep. Lol learning and snoozing

fallen plaza
#

Nowadays I'm pretty sick of 40k content

#

At least on the YouTube end

crystal forum
#

i dont like his chaos god video

storm jungle
#

Luetin is very much up his own ass with that shit yeah

#

he outright says hes aware these are "things that arent meant to be explained but he is gonna explain them anyway" also gets into quantum mechanics and astrophysics and its just... what

crystal forum
#

no im talking about arbiter ian

crisp heath
#

I listen to Vox in the Void to sleep to, lol

crystal forum
#

but luetin's ramblings are bad too

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

the one where he says there's no chaos gods

fallen plaza
storm jungle
#

He doesnt really say that lol

#

he just makes it as a "fun dumb video"

crystal forum
#

im just saying the video

#

i dont like it

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Yeah I know but again he makes the point clear lol

tough haven
storm jungle
#

its more just him taking a logical perspective into it and getting into the nerdy side of that stuff with other sci-fi media.

crystal forum
#

i just think he's taking the wrong approach

storm jungle
#

its one of the reasons why i like his videos, dumb analysis like that are pretty neat

crystal forum
#

the chaos gods arent really sci fi

#

imo

storm jungle
#

I mean they are.

#

because 40k is sci-fi

crystal forum
#

they're fantasy elements

storm jungle
#

Yeah but its still a sci-fi setting.

crystal forum
#

that doesn't change the way it's presented

storm jungle
#

I mean its still largely presented as sci fi lol

#

fantasy is the sprinkle ontop of it

#

but anyway yeah its a normal video, i dont think theres that much deep about it

#

hes mostly just being pedantic as he says himself for the sake of discussion

fallen plaza
#

Daemons in 40k are presented as like an unknown part of science

storm jungle
#

Bile says so himself and its about as redditor as you can get with it

#

its pretty funny lol

crystal forum
#

chaos is completely at odds with science in 40k

#

there's two distinct things in the setting

#

it's more like fantasy magic than anything

storm jungle
#

And again its still given a medieval yet sci-fi flair.

#

but this is also just semantics

#

the two elements are meant to go hand-in-hand

plush mason
crystal forum
#

see that's literally the quote he opens the video with

#

that's what ticked me off the most

#

it doesnt apply to the video

storm jungle
#

I mean who cares

#

he isnt acting like "im right you are wrong"

crystal forum
#

it's pretentious

storm jungle
#

Not really.

#

You are just easily ticked off, as per above

#

this isnt a luetin situation where hes literally getting into actual science to explain it.

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Yeah this.

crystal forum
#

then dont do a video about it, is my simple answer

storm jungle
#

Its his channel and he has a steady fanbase, he can do what he wants

#

you being upset about it doesnt change the fact that a lot of other people like the subject

#

mythological stuff in 40k is interesting to talk about and get into the thick of

forest orbit
#

Ian also just kinda does it for fun tbh.

#

I dont know why it should be taken seriously at all

storm jungle
#

Pretty much.

#

Its just harmless think-tanking more or less

forest orbit
#

Yeah i do agree the video is a bit weird but i enjoyed it well enough like most of his videos, guy isnt a cunt so there wasnt really anything to get upset at imo.

#

a good chunk of his videos also tend to go against the 40k norm which is nice, makes him more entertaining to watch

storm jungle
#

The upfrontness and proper lore explanations are prob one of the bigger reasons why I watch him admittedly lol

forest orbit
#

Him stopping videos sometimes to also explain IRL contradictions/effects of certain events is also nice, i dont see content creators do that much KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

gotta get those clicks somehow, who cares about correction staregryn

forest orbit
fallen plaza
#

One of the newer content creators I dislike is the black library guy

#

Because you can feel that he has consumed so much slop that he has a low bar for what a good book is

paper haven

I watch Oculus Imperia and Janovich videos

storm jungle
#

Janovich is great for his historical map videos

fallen plaza
#

Oculus imperia is great yeah

storm jungle

Oculus is Oculus yeah

saying hes great is expected at this point so no problems there KEKW_ogryn

Poorhammer can be a fun channel, but sometimes I when I watch there videos I soy in rage everytime they slander the rhino and the chimera

You are a worthless, bitch ass organic.

Your life literally is as valuable as a single scarab.

I'm just gonna stomp you, you're gonna keep coming back. I'm gonna seal up my tomb, you're gonna keep coming back.

Why?

Because you keep smelling the Necrodermis, you worthless, bitch ass waste of metal.

You're gonna stay on my coffin until you die.

You serve no purpose in life.

Your purpose in life is to give us your soul so that we can become great again.

Your purpose in life is to be extinct, while we rise up from our tombs. And laugh at your inferior culture.

Your life is nothing.

You serve zero purpose

You should kill yourself now

And give someone else that soul and flesh so that we can turn into the greatest race in the cosmos.

Because what are you here for?

To worship the Emperor?

Kill yourself.

I mean that with all of my being.

Just wanted to show this cute image

modern tapir
#

A friend asked me and one other person the other day if we found the Space Marines in SM2 to be lore accurate. It was a resounding "no."
It's a great game though don't get me wrong. We just said that the space marines are canonically a lot faster able to run at least 35 mph; and generally speaking, Primaris marines are larger than their first born brothers which means they're also supposed to be larger than the Chaos Space Marines.
I'm 95% sure this is accurate, but want to sanity check here.

fallen plaza
#

Thats wishlisting

#

But for the most part

modern tapir
#

Lol damn it. All right, color me an ork. What's the accurate information?

fallen plaza
#

For the most part

#

He's right

#

But tell me, how are you able to convey all that lore into the game without it being unbalanced

#

The inaccuracies are really not that deep

#

Maybe the height part probably

modern tapir
#

👍 Lol, no I agree with that part. Can't throw some of those details into the game or else you'd be playing a mobility shooter

shadow plover
#

height of the chaos marines is most likely for balance and to not spent unnecessary time adjusting the models when you can reuse the rigs from the imperial side

fallen plaza
#

Plus

#

Primaris aren't that tall

#

There's no reason a chaos sm can't be the same height

modern tapir
#

Dang it Cawl and his need to make plastic models slightly different via the black library.
Yeah, that's fair.

shadow plover
#

that chart doesn't feel right either

modern tapir
#

SM1 and SM2 wise, guardsman are about that height relative to the space marine model, so its gotta be somewhere in that margin.

shadow plover
#

yeah it's not too much off, the scale just feels off, as in that doesn't look 2,2m when the man next to him is 1,8m

#

looks taller than 2,2m

modern tapir
#

Lol oh in that way. 😆
you're right. Top part of that chart, the lines are going through middle of head.
Bottom, the lines are at the top.

dusk patrol
#

Obviously the CSM in multiplayer are just above average height

shadow plover
#

the person who made it probably took the numbers which are based on an unarmoured marines and tried to fit armoured marines to it

dusk patrol
#

But yeah stuff is gonna exist for balance, melta doesn’t function exactly the same, stuff takes longer to kill than normal, melee weapons don’t kill in one hit and all that

#

It’s a game

modern tapir
#

A great one at that.

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

It’s more just a wider beam but yeah

shadow plover
#

it shouldn't really be a laser either, a beam of heat

dusk patrol
#

Melta descriptions vary so idc much

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Sometimes it’s not even a visible blast

#

Yeah

shadow plover
dusk patrol
#

I know some of the RPGs have examples of meltas with a wider blast setting or setup

queen laurel
#

welp that's another streak of not finding a straight heat beam melta

#

it seems that it just became the super shotgun of 40K nowadays

dusk patrol
#

And the multimelta has rules for firing a wider blast

#

But yes it doesn’t matter either way, lore wise it should one shot the fuck out of everything

#

Even the Hive Tyrant

#

But it’s a game

#

So the found a different way to show them and they’re really fucking good and maintain that powerful feel imo

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

at least the justify it well by felling a 1000 tonne statue on top of it first pupper

dusk patrol
#

Iirc Eternal Crusade had it

shadow plover
#

oh wait , I misread

#

the melta should one shot things yeah

queen laurel
#

Rogue trader and I am pretty sure Boltgun made use of the expanding beam

dusk patrol
#

They do

#

Multimelta frankly just has a super wide beam

#

Or blast or whatever

#

Idk how you’d described it, it’s just a wave of heat

queen laurel
#

honestly this is entirely on space marine one it's depiction of the melta being a super shotgun basically made it the standard for 40K game appearances

dusk patrol
#

But MM has always had blast rules

queen laurel
#

After that I'm pretty sure alot of melta's that appeared in a 40k game is almost always a type of super heated shotgun that will turn you into cooked meat

#

or ash

dusk patrol
#

It’s more they’re just a short range gun which hits hard in a wider are, which effectively is a shotgun for space marine purposes

#

Like think of how big a hole these things are chewing into tanks and shit

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Multi meltas for marines are fucking huge

#

The “beam” is super wide regardless of if it’s a beam

#

The game exaggerates it a bit probably for gameplay effect but it’s still pretty actuate to how meltas would look when fired imo

shadow plover
#

and yet being a shotgun kinda fits given how short range they are in the first place

dusk patrol
#

Yeah that too

#

They’re basically anti armor shotguns

queen laurel
#

yeah there is a reason why that is the standard game appearance

dusk patrol
#

Like look how fucking huge that thing is

#

That’s the size of a man

queen laurel
#

It's cool but I just want to see the laser beam to cut clean through a tank

dusk patrol
#

Its not really a laser though

queen laurel
#

i'm just saying i just want the interpretation of just the beam shooting without it turning into a shotgun cloud more

dusk patrol
#

It’s basically a heat gun for stripping paint but cranked to 10000000

#

Also I think Eternal Crusade has this

paper haven
#

Depending on the writer, that either instantly killed that guy or he died later but still killed all the attackers

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

that can melt someone into basically a gooey mess

dusk patrol
#

The other amusing thing is multimeltas aren’t that short of range

#

They have like 100m of range in some cases

#

50m optimal

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Yeah it’s just for balance

#

Same as bolters not being able to fire a mile away with perfect accuracy

queen laurel
#

it's not gonna be fun

dusk patrol
#

Meltas are fucking terrifying weapons in marine hands

#

There’s a reason Blood Angels love Inferno Pistols

#

Just land on the tank, fire a shot through it killing the whole crew

shadow plover
#

I'm kinda looking forward to what SM2 does with the Volkite pistol

fallen plaza
#

The concept of a flaming pistol is so fun

dusk patrol
#

Chuck a frag in to finish everyone off

dusk patrol
#

The inferno pistol for no reason is the melta pistol

#

Why it is called that, idk

fallen plaza
#

Because

#

Cool

dusk patrol
#

It does sound cool though

#

I expect we’ll get inferno pistols eventually too tbh

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

If I have money for cosplay

#

I would do a moritat cosplay

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
#

Dual plasma

dusk patrol
#

The bolt gun one is largely how it’s depicted as we see

#

It’s a CHOOM heat ray

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Makes whatever it kills burst into flames explosively and kill stuff around it

fallen plaza
#

The ray reminds me of the Darktide sniper effect

dusk patrol
#

Which I assume will be a thing in this game

dusk patrol
#

Ignores armor but fries the insides

queen laurel
#

cook the inside ignore the outside

dusk patrol
#

So big volkite guns just combust everyone inside a tank or whatever

dusk patrol
#

It can fuck up armor but often the result is the flesh goes first

#

Anyways it’s a perfect gun for a horde game if they keep the combustion effect which I assume they will

#

Mostly curious which classes are gonna get it

queen laurel
#

i'm pretty sure he has access to every pistol in the game

dusk patrol
#

Except for heavy pistol

#

Which is amusing since on table top the bulwark has that as a signature deal

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

given how Bladeguard vets have access to the neo-volkite as the only unit (besides lieutenant with a shield) that has access to it, Bulwark is a pretty safe bet

dusk patrol
#

For whatever reason only the assault has it

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

No

#

Imo the heavy pistol is a better fit for assault anyways

#

I’m more surprised we don’t see more classes with it

#

Like tactical, heavy, bulwark

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Largely ammo size but

shadow plover
#

I think the bulwark has the plasma because it has access to power fist as well which is the loadout for a captain variant (power fist + plasma)

dusk patrol
#

The heavy is generally better

#

For the purposes of the game

queen laurel
#

And if you don't want to use the consistent charging mechanic you need for plasma go heavy

shadow plover
#

I actually prefer the normal pistol over heavy in pvp at least

dusk patrol
#

Charge would be more awkward for assault I think

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Well rn he really needs some buffs lol

queen laurel
#

so yeah of course he doesn't really have the option to stand back

dusk patrol
#

Every other class is good but assault has some issues

queen laurel
#

apparently so called the worst

dusk patrol
#

It really isn’t worth taking if you’re speaking decent team choices

#

It needs more damage

#

More interesting perk tree

#

The rest are all solid though

shadow plover
#

for pve assault does feel the worst, but for me it's mostly because how awkward the jump pack is. I keep trying to lift up but hit the ground rightaway because I was attempting to do it in a slight incline so I just wasted a charge and left myself in the open

dusk patrol
#

Largely my 3 issues besides fixing servers and bugs or whatever:

  1. Improve a lot of the bolt weapons damage and penetration/horde clear ability.

  2. improve assault/buff melee a bit perhaps. Maybe it more interesting and stronger for its role.

  3. Possibly add a little health regen which scales up for majoris/extremis/terminus enemies

#

For executions

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Uh iirc it’s a stronger round or the gun fires it harder

shadow plover
#

not sure if any distinction has been even made

queen laurel
#

in both the wiki and lex it always just says

The Heavy Bolt Pistol is a variant of the standard Bolt Pistol that is larger and possesses a more elongated barrel to enhance its range

dusk patrol
#

It basically makes it a bolter but in pistol form

queen laurel
#

in space marine 2 the sounds are definitely heavier

dusk patrol
#

Smaller mag and slightly less wieldy

queen laurel
#

compared to the normal bolt pistol

dusk patrol
#

Reivers use them a lot too

#

And Reivers use basically the old bolters a lot too

#

“Smg” style compact ones

fallen plaza
#

They better add a graviton gun

dusk patrol
#

I would love that

shadow plover
#

no primaris unit has one at the moment so very unlikely

#

sadly

dusk patrol
#

If they add a Techmarine Conversion Beamer and Grav gun would be fun

queen laurel
dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

it seems everyone is in an agreement that they suck

dusk patrol

#

Conversion beamer is probably the easiest non conventional weapon in 40k to transition into a game without bending the lore

shadow plover
#

no one remembers Torgaddon

#

wait that's not even his name

#

Torgaddon is a Luna Wolf

fallen plaza
#

He's probably dead now too

dusk patrol

I’d love something like this

shadow plover
#

oh actually, the primaris techmarine has a grav pistol

#

why did I forget that, I field it constantly

dusk patrol
#

If they ever get to a Techmarine class I expect we’d see some exotic weapons with it

#

I cope and pray

fallen plaza
#

If they do they better fucking give him a mortar

dusk patrol
#

There’s not a lack of options

shadow plover
#

forge bolter my beloved

dusk patrol
#

I largely just want his servo arm to function in melee

#

Servo executions would go hard

fallen plaza
#

I just want his mortar cannon

#

What is it called in 40k again?

dusk patrol
fallen plaza
#

Thunderstrike cannon?

shadow plover
#

mods, bench vise his head

dusk patrol
#

Imo the idea is have his shoulder mounted gun able to operate independently

#

So he’s the turret

shadow plover
#

forge bolter, it's such a baller on the tabletop

dusk patrol
#

But there’s a lot of options

shadow plover
#

it's basically a heavy bolter you can fire freely regardless other shooting actions you might take

dusk patrol
#

We could perhaps get a little wilder too

#

Hypothetically

It’s largely preference

Other chapters are similar

#

Some wear more red then others

#

Some wear none

fallen plaza

It was usually the inverse

dusk patrol

#

But largely it’s up to the chapter

#

We see plenty of cases of them largely ignoring it

fallen plaza
#

I imagine some have to wear chapter colors to make them less alien to there fellow brother

dusk patrol
#

Seeing a red IH Techmarine is actually very uncommon

#

Generally it seems to be ones who have come back from mars recently

shadow plover
#

Frankly, red techmarines look better than the whatever chapter colours they would have most of the time

dusk patrol
#

Largely I think most of the specialist roles tend to work good

#

Except Librarian
