Sadamir
God swtor combat really killed the rest of the game for me
Do not like MMO combat and waiting for cooldowns
Shame cause I really like Star Wars and liked most of the story
the story is alright but swtor didnt have the best combat system
its pretty bad
it has WoW combat, nothing else to say about it
It has WoW combat but even less balanced in pvp
yeah
WoW honestly is arguably way more interactive
which is impressive seeing as it literally only has 4 classes lol
They managed to all be pretty boring and linear
Which is impressive
yeah
after sith warrior and agent the budget for class stories clearly went out the window
LOL
I feel like they spent all the budget on empire and like
The other remaining chunk on trooper
š
comparing smuggler and agent stories is almost criminal
literally the only republic class with a better story than its imp mirror
and not by much
yeah
It is now
And actually feels nice
im still amazed they managed to make a story about being a smuggler the most boring in the game
I think the worse crime for Consular is that it has one of the worst Nolan North performances ever
Shadow. Priest no longer feels terrible to play
Tbh
Please donāt rework shadow priest again
Itās like actually like perfect for fun now
Ngl
The rework of Shadow priest in shadowlands made me drop priest
Lol
That shit was so ass
Evoker has been the most fun i have had in wow in a long time
I raided for the first time last week
just tank as DK and give your healer an aneurism
not touched any m+ this season so idk how they are doing now
DK are quite good iirc
Not as good as prot warrior or vengence DH
but they're like up there
I kinda want to try healer
yeah but it use to be their health would fluctuate wildly during fights
But
making healers hate them
It seems mortifying
Hmm
ngl I'm used to Blood DK health fluctuations
bcs my groups main tank plays DK in M+
or warrior
Like I went through the raid and honestly it felt like the only ones having to actually play the game and focus were the healers
I play paladin or priest
and both fucking suck rn/are mid rn
Spriest is meh
Ret pally sucks
And prot pally is uh sitting down there with brewmaster lol
Ouches
idk maybe I start playing mage again
because that is what is happening, the vast majority of mechanics in wow's fights are healer orientated
I have a nightborne mage I made like
a long ass time ago
maybe i should level him
everything but fire is top tier in M+
Guh
I did notice that the mage in our group was doing like 4x our damage
I think the worst DPS class in the game
might actually be fire mage rn
in M+
š
the fate of all pure dps classes
at least 1 spec will be near the bottom and the others will be near the top
Play Outlaw Rogue
like the burst
I have not touched my rogue since ever ngl
You know how it was rng?
yeah?
More RNG
lol
Blizzard loves RNG
From how a rogue main described it to me
"So in theory I can potentially do really well, but I can also deal less damage than the healer"
but DPS is kind of insane rn
tanks need way more threat generation
or blizzard needs to blanket nerf DPS lol
since tanks literally cannot keep up with the damage some specs are outputting
i am kinda sad devastation evoker has ended up being a better and more fun spec than augmentation
i mean ofc it is, you are never beating a spec made to make the other players better lol
Are they bad?
I don't think I'd say bad but interesting for sure
lol
Pala one is good for trash, but you can kiss your damage goodbye on bosses
I was barely dealing more than our tanks
Guh
But on trash pulls I was topping the chart
You get like
Spam multi target abilities + mass divine storm
And passive multi target damage
Oh you can build for that
Also this expansion has been absurdly awkward as a shadow priest
The starter build is just a trash build ig?
Especially since this Spriest was made before Legion
Like I switched to an icy veins one now and it shows
They are horde
Itās a belf priest

Awkward tbh
be funny + awkward as hell though, especially if silvermoon like gets fucked by the void or something in the upcoming expansion
I love the rank based loin cloths
I really wanna make a dark oath tribe based off of the forgotten from my favorite video game

I have a shit load of art of them
How do Space Marines feel about regular old troopers?
Care. Disregard. Cannon fodder?
dependsā¢ļø which chapter
some show mutual respect, some dismiss them as inferior
black templars for example ask to be called brothers by even guardsmen instead of honour titles
Can someone please explain to me what THE FUCK that green liquid is that all tech priests have attached to them going into tubes and stuff
We have no idea
Could be anything
Although, if you want to include a personal headcanon
Y'know how in Darktide, the healing items are all green?
The medkits, the medstims, etc.
I think that's what is going through the Tech Priests.
Maybe to maintain their body due to constantly replacing it with machinery
Probably to prevent things like the body rejecting new technology since that can happen
mountain dew gamer goo
Also because I'm bored
If you put Godzilla into a Hive World
Like it's a important Hive World
How long would it take for the Imperium to destroy him
You can select which version of Godzilla btw
So like you can go with the 1950's original if you want
Or monsterverse
I wonder how well titans would fare against godzilla
but honestly, I'd say it'd take em a while if godzilla was in a hive city. At least until enough tanks or aircraft are mobilized
Canonically, the 1954 version of Godzilla is around 50 meters tall
A mix of nutrient goop, rejuvenat-juice, and other essentials.
Godzilla could solo almost everything in 40k.
A warlord class Titan is around 55 meters tall
what version?
So a Warlord Titan against the original Godzilla is actually a proper fight
because there are multiple godzillas
Yeah I was kinda wondering that.
Should we go with Monsterverse?
Shin maybe?
Godzilla is super tough, I don't see titans hurting him much.
I'm honestly not super knowledgeable on the different ones, was just goin with Laati-Tan's prompt
Yeah nah it's fine
Monster verse is overkill
Also apparently the Imperator Class titan you see in SM2 is like... 1km tall or some shit
True. But for shits and giggles it would be funny to try and see the Imperium fight Monsterverse Godzilla
#godzilla #godzillavskong
If only because
It would be entertaining as fuck
his atomic breath has enough power to drill to the core of the earth
Honestly Monsterverse Godzilla is the coolest shit ever.
don't forget his evolution that has 20 times the energy capacity
Yeah I was thinking for a more
""""FAIR""""
Fight it'd be the 2014 version
Like from the first Monsterverse movie
that one is really handicapped though
does godzilla have some sort of shielding beyond the scales/hide?
no but one of his version does
he can also be creative though
Wrong version ik but that scene is fucking hilarious
that's showa so that's a completely different version
oh it is
Apparently the Imperator Titans are 100 Meters
And Godzilla 2014 is 108 meters tall
With recent movies increasing it to 120 meters
And to be honest now I'm imagining an Imperator trying to tackle Godzilla.
It is impractical but the idea is fucking awesome
even 2014 i don't see him harming much because that's the same Godzilla that survived an extinction event
True.
Godzilla has been directly nuked before right?
yeah
Yeah it usually just gave him a boost cause to quote a certain YouTube channel
"NO DICK. NO BALLS. AND PROBABLY NO BUTTHOLE SINCE THIS GUY FEEDS OFF OF RADIATION"
Maybe a Virus Bomb could put him down?
Since it basically turns all organic material it can find into sludge
And Godzilla is organic
An organic Nuclear plant but still organic
Does that denote respect?
I have a lore question
Speak
How come every legion is so lame when ypu compare them to the ultra marines 
Author focus.
I said it
it's the truth
Because they are the standard of lame
marneus calgar is a chad
Jealous of their awesomeness
he has a lot of material
they have good characters but overall the entire chapter is rather basic
like you
Honestly yeah.

Having got into 40k from a way different point than most, I never really got attached to marines.
Why do people love the salamanders so much
They're kinda bland when I look at the whole setting
they think that they are kind people
that helps civilians you know stuff like that
They are good but they are also not saints
they have an entire squad dedicated to dealing with bad people
Salamanders are just the kindest of the typically unkind marines.
my power washing them using flamethrowers
So people think they're genuinely kind, rather than being kind for marines.
They're still super-speciest, murderous bigots.
too bad they don't notice the fact that they are marines, and those are far away from humans as you can get
Just nicer to normal humans than, say, Emperor's Spears.
Don't forget your concentration camps now you might accidentally bomb it because you need the strategic position right
They gave their lives for the God emperor
yes for the great psychic vegetable
Reminds me of that time the sisters of battle used civilians as a distraction and when confronted by a guard they said how it's the greatest honor to die for the emperor
Gate of bones I think
yup
that shit is what gets me when people treat sisters like waifus
they're legit unhinged psychos
literally darktide Zealots but all girls and have better gear but somehow even more religious
them falling to chaos is nigh impossible
they do but it's very fucking rare
Don't forget the Orders Hospitaller, these ones work like they actually would as caring nuns. Non-militant (most of the time) who go out of their way to aid the poor and sick.
The best of the bunch I'd say are the order of the Sacred Rose and Argent Shroud
Hospitallers are awesome, especially when decided to shoot a marine in the face because he was shooting into a crowd of civies

Emperor's Spears have a no-contact policy with mortals which I think is about as nice as you get for something like a space marine
They still take children from their families but that's just... being a space marine
I mean, other than the Salamanders we were just talking about, yeah probably.
Salamanders get to actually see their family. I'd say that's the nicest you get as a space marine.
i also vaguely remember a chapter that just lives among the population, but not sure if homebrew or official
Sallies do iirc
Blood and flesh are the holy sacrifice in the name of the the Undying Emperor. And Kibellah is eager to offer this gift.

yeah i can see how the imperial death cults are always just a few steps away from falling to khorne or slannesh
Blood baths and everything literally
yup
š³
one of the best death cult assassin designs i have seen
very eeeevil looking woman
She's a paragon of the Emperors light
In 3 days
Thursday
Rogue Trader DLC comes out tomorrow though
as does the new CK3 DLC
So decisions decision
man this month is PACKED
Guilliman should have been Warmaster
im just sad about forever winter
i have heard some things about the AI in it that has just killed my excitement
What so ?
a core part of the game's selling point is that the AI will never priorities the player, you are just a minor figure in the middle of a massive war between 2 massive super powers
but rn the AI will instantly focus on the player the second you shoot at them
at least that is what i have heard
if that turns out to be just a result of an older build i will be buying it ether day one or a little after
if the AI is still like that on the start the EA i will just wait
Perturabo should have been warmaster
LOL
Yeah it's just EA AI. From what I heard, melee spawns are hyper aggressive while shooters basically ignore you unless there's no one else to fight
ok that is a lot better than what i had heard
Perturabo shouldn't have been Primarch of the IF
I wouldn't worry too much about it atm plus I think the footage we have right now is a different version of the game that's coming out soon
Which might have slight changes to AI behaviors
So true bestie
I'm more interested in Eldar and Admech stuff than space marine things if I'm honest.
I've read enough halo books to quell my supersoldier cravings, and they do a better job at it.
Fr fr
Good to see another brother of the Omnissiah
I just find either my silly cyborg men/monsters, or regular ass dudes more interesting in 40kās setting
I've started doing that shit IRL when doing maintenance on tanks
Me too but for computers
I honestly think it works
I 100% believe it helps with how fucking superstitious tech can be
Every tank I've served on never has a major malfunction until I leave.
Probably just confirmation bias though
Like right after I leave, shit always happens.
Next guy fr doesnāt know the catechisms of maintenance and repair
Ong he doesn't
Do you play the blessed hymns (Mechanicus ost) while you work?
Getting an M2 .50 cal stamped in 1937
you gotta recite the canticles of the machine god to get that thing working smoothly
mechanicus and darktide osts are plugged into my cvc, yes
Try including these
Grimdark music inspired by the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k. This track is about the rite of sanctifying machinery in the name of the Machine God. H...
Or this guys
By the by, whatās your guysā headcanon on how binharic sounds?
No it should have been me.
Free cheese for everyone.

Holy shit Iām voting for them

Slop
Slop
Slop
Slop
Personally I think it sounds like a more melodious form of binary, so it feels more like a seperate language than just binary
Ok jeez man
Itās not the mechanicus soundtrack, I know, but Iām just hurting for more of that type of music and thereās no substitute until 2 comes out
if chaos my decapitation spree will be insane
Oh hell yeah dueling swords on vet
What the fuck is this
Rannick saying Among us
AI is notoriously slow to develop for indie studios. i'm sure it'll improve over time. rn i'm willing to give them some benefit of doubt since they're in the marketing stage of their game concept and they're more focusing on the art and the lore of what the game will eventually be. If they don't do anything to the AI after a year or so then i'll just give up on them
im mainly concerned with it being in an unplayable state due to it but from what Schrodinger's Berk said it wont be
Duelling sword on Vet is so huge
Ngl you would have fallen to Chaos
With Zimmer whispering dark secrets in your ear
Zimmer would be more the person whos face id flay the moment he siad something stupid ala Horus/Erebus

Smh we've always been Radical here
banned
banned some people apparently complained to other mods
ah
He was a weird guy who asked weird questions
we're all weird in here
speaking of weird questions, whats the likely hood owlcat will add a GSC companion in the dlc tomorrow yall think?
I hope they give you a genestealer path
how would a friendly GSC even work
rogue trader
THERE'S RT DLC?
be an option for a heretical path
Banned Zimmer 
Bro brb
tomorrow
GSC isn't heretical it's like a fourth option to suddenly start liking nidussy
yeah it the void shadows dlc
Bro what I'm doing to her will be biblical.
By the throne that woman is
oh they will, they have said they plan to rebalance the points
special 
watch her be not interested in romance like argenta
i think they some of that in the 1.2 path
oh yeah mr ostrich what's the DLC price again
They gave her like
the fucking hottest goth piercings
jesus christ
WHAT ARE THESE DEVS COOKING IN THERE?
real
we found dilara's type
they confirmed she will be a romance option
I don't know but they need more kitchen time
Too late for that
i have no idea as i have the pass for it and the 2nd one
rogue trader is just a dating sim with a lot of extra stuff
what do you mean she always liked the rather a bit cuckoo in the head
Astarion, Minthara, Marazhai
the price hasnt been announced yet lol
I finished my heretical playthrough at 497/500 points. And I missed like 2 dialogues only
like she is rather very open about
Rip my sweet daemon prince ending
I'm surprised you're finding out now
Dont matter, im a mindless consuuuuumer
OWLCAT!!!

dilara be like "i want a woman who will straight up kill me"
well it depends
i like any sort of romance
unless its morons like Gale
fucking dumbass
gale is best nerdy boi
hes definitely a creature
Fuck gale
i love him
I play dark urge just to cut off his arm
bite*
She has taste
evidently
of course you agree with her
do not!
what afraid i'm gonna say something like dark path shadow heart is your favorite
Best romance is || whatever suits you ||
true but people that pursue the squid emperor
well
Minthara 
It's not everyday you meet a gentle squid man-thing
seriously though i will admit even like the most basic like Wyll is pretty fun
they nailed their characters
Does Astarion stops being a dick if you romance him?
yes
he acts more handsome guyish
And thanks you for saving him or following him into a dark path whatever you fancy
I did every single good ending for characters and I must say saving them is worth it
i'm not the bad guy i'm just a chaotic good bastard that's gonna explode the enemy
chaotic good is the best dnd alignment
hot take but i dont like dnd alignments because they can constrain character development
Alignment is supposed to be fluid for your characters though
meh i've seen it create situations where people are super dead set on following whatever alignement they chose
instead of the logical path the character would take for an action
like real people dont have such hard coded values they strictly follow
That's a player problem. (The player is almost always the problem)
Gotta keep in mind that everyone enjoys different things in DnD so they might not act or play as you would
yeah there is a reason that guy players are extremely well known in the community
true
Welcoming Kibellah to my collection of women that I love, who would disembowel me if they had the chance.
OK so this is how we trap the Tarrasque
that guy then Bull Rushes the thing and complaints to the group that they didn't support
Real.
Cleric sure is the 3 spells of all time
There isn't a single valid reason I shouldn't pick the Imperial assassin to be my closest confidant and lover.
Iconoclast/heretic rt? Romance the imperial death cult assassin
the "she's a murderer" and "she's unhinged" naysayers when I tell them to pick an actual reason not to choose her
they cannot do it 
Waiting for Thursday like a normal person(I'm going insane)
Hmm
When did tzeentch become a skaven
Always have been
Tzeentch probably planned to have his face covered
All part of the plan
do they usually reveal new models in these types of events
wtf is legions imperialis?
Itās the small scale Horus heresy stuff
so like kill team but for 30k?
He is the warhammer
No
it's the game that uses the small titans
oh
Any game reveals
Theyāre tiny
Or just stuff we know about
What about her
*affordable titans
like is she dead or alive
or is she even canon
or do i have the name wrong
of course she's canon
what made you think that she's not
i didnt know
i was askin
is she dead?
or alive
im gonna use a heavy flamer for that heresy
Has the imperium ever worked with necrons aside from trazyn?
Thatās pretty cool actually
phsychopaths and autistic people vs bugs...deadly combo imma be real
Largely never.
Even Trazyn didnt really "work" with the Imperium
he just showed up and told like 1-2 techpriests what button to press and kinda fucked around in the background
He says so himself:
- To feel like a hero as a change of pace briefly.
- If Cadia gets destroyed it might affect Solemance and his gallery
and
He might find some rare legendary items (people) in Cadia
which he did with Creed as he pokemon'd him
him arguing with his huntmaster is like a married couple bickering
Damn the drama is insane, well time to take the creed guy for something fancy on my museum
He would've grabbed Cawl too
And he just went
"Sure, but, think of all the funny shit I could do if you didn't"
Heās been nothing but net that whole time despite the loyalist primarchs coming back
Also thereās you know
All the traitor ones showing up again
Angron having super respawn is funny
Yeah Chaos has basically only been winning for a decade in lore at this point barring a few minor losses.
Even when they āloseā they tend to basically win they just donāt completely destroy the Imperium
Especially Abbadon
they need to be clapped back with something at least with AOS chaos they aren't always ******* offensive
he won the arks of omen right
I donāt mind the current story itās just annoying how theyve won for so long now hugely and people still bitch
Yeah
The only real victory was the Lion came back and the DA didnāt get wiped out
yeah so give them a loser something major in Lore because constant chaos victories is boring
For the Imperium
like aos chaos is a threat but there are other things happening in there that doesn't always make them a constant problem
Even the Lion beating Angron he barely does it and heās limping away from the fight exhausted and battered
Like I said though I think theyāre building up Vashtorr which will end in a major Chaos defeat
Only for that big red piece of shit to respawn after a few fucking weeks or something
Itās like wrestling you gotta build up the heel so when the babyface beats him its a bigger deal
Also weāll probably have Russ returning soon enough here
the only thing i'm a bit miffed about is because they apparently killed off Yarrick for what
Heās probably not yeah
Woke.......
still though you could have admitted they could have handled that better
But yeah his death isnāt a clear cut thing and until we actually see it
Iām not gonna bet on him being dead yet
the most likely thing is a Warzone: Armageddon shit
Primaris Yarrick

Heās back and heās somehow even more curmudgeony
that was a super planet that had a lot of orks once right
until the golden banana decided to invade it and take it for himself
so it must be something left their by the old orks that draws in so many of the new ones
It was also the last planet the emperor fought in
in his crusade
i think
Warzone: shithole
Yeah not clear what exactly but it does something for them
They really should have seen it coming
Naming it Armageddon
Uh, Metallica
i like the band but i mean the planets
Yes to both based off rumors heh
Like as a major warzone?
yes
what other planets out there that is an on the constant state of war
Metalica is still fighting off daemons and nurgle crap
Thereās a lot of planets in a constant state of war
Most of them arenāt super important
Iām trying to think yeah
what's that's planet special schtick
I think the Styigus system still is
Ryza is a constant warzone
so it's human cybertron
Sorta yeah
all right i can get behind that
Which one has the sea with blood thirsty servitors?
Also agripinna is a constant warzone as well
Ryza
It has an ork infestation as well lol
Thatās it
Most Forgeworlds got some shit going on
Except Lucius cause theyāre chads
what's the most well known titan producing world in the imperium
It helps being a hollow planet with a sun in the core
Probably Mars right
Mars probably
Mars, Lucius
Lucius has their own titan style for heads
Lucius tends to be a little higher quality or special stuff but not as high production rate
Theyāre basically the snotty better than you Forgeworld
Ryza are the Plasmaphiles
If you want plasma stuff, they got it
that where Pasqal is From?
With the amount of plasma buffs he has you would think that would be his home world
Heās from Mars I think
Itās worth noting that Ad Mech in general love plasma
Ryza is just obsessed
They worship it and call it the āBlood of the Godsā
hey it's reliable unless you overcharge it 24/7
good for tearing open tanks and flesh
Literally a lot of the high-powered generators the imperium uses uses a type of plasma too
Dying from plasma blowing them apart is probably an orgasmic experience for dudes from Ryza
But yes plasma is used for a lot besides weapons
And Ryza uses it for all those things
yo what does that survitor run on
A plasma heart battery why
Theyāre very good with it basically and they tend to produce the best plasma related stuff
speaking of rogue trader damn i didn't know there are three secret companions
Pasqal is Martian
yeah explains why he is so proud of his abilities
but also
why are all of the secret companions people i always kill
Oh well no matter
Those are temporary I think?
Oh cool I didnāt know that
Yeah I figure
yeah the other two are mid
but the traitor guy however
The CSM is there because you lose like 90% of your companions going full heretic lol
he can summon a greater daemon so he definitely has some kick if you plan to get him
that boss can go fuck itself though
I havenāt done a full heretic play through yet
But that does sound fun
Full evil playthroughs are always rough for me
Do salamanders got protection against burning
Lore wise
No like
Their genetics and shit
Ah okay
same here like thing is my nature as a goody 2 shoes of a person is the reason I don't do bad playthroughs, I always go with chaotic good as much as I can
Proud headstrong and will save the shit out of someone
Do chapters develop this thing like favoring certain melee weapons that their primarch did
Thereās often some connection there yeah
But in general they all tend to use all weapons
With some signatures
Iron Hands are known for Power Mauls, Grav weapons and Omnissian Axes, space wolves use their kraken teeth and frost weapons, blood angels use a lot of spears and inferno pistols
Salamanders use a lot of hammers, flame weapons and meltas
But itās not a hard rule and you can find examples of most weapons in the chapters generally
Man I thought those were orks for a minute
Did they ever fix the issues with space marine characters getting stuck in terrain during combat
on what game
Rogue trader
They probably did
it's been awhile but they have released a lot of fixes
Theyāve adjusted Ulfar a lot
Theres a few sections where ulfric is stuck on a corner
Heās much better now
yep
Noice
He takes up more space so heās always gonna have some downsides
besides lucas he's probably the only space marine space wolf i like
the guy that is the currently taking position of ghaz's arch enemy?
Heās not his archenemy really but heās always fought him to some extent but yeah
Wolfblade in particular has Haegr the Mountain and Torin who was both a lot of fun.
with old bale eye i currently out of action he may as well take it for now
oh yeah i always forget about this guy
Torin is a Wolfblade whose āgone nativeā on Terra and grooms his beard and hair and weara perfume
Haegr the mountain
Haegr is a unit
Lots of funny scenes with him and badass ones
At one point on Terra theyāre at a dinner and suddenly a bunch of assassins appear and try to kill tgem
Too bad he's dead
And itās only when one knocks over his plate that he realizes what was happening and then he proceeds to pick up the massive stone slab of a table and starts pummeling the assassins with it
Yeah sadly
He gets a good death though
not including primarchs, when it comes to physical strength which space marine character is the strongest
Haegr seems like a good competitor in that regard
this guy one hand's thunder hammers
Hard to say but Pollux is probably up there
But yeah Haegr is definitely in contention Iād say
Especially since heās a genetic oddity
That the guy that was smaller than average but kept bulking up to the point that they just told him to stop because it's annoying to refit him
Voss is very strong but idk if heād be the strongest
Pollux is kinda the opposite
He was just huge
Guilliman was able to look him in the eye
i think i'm confusing two people here again
Yeah Maximon Voss is the deathwatch guy
Pollux is heresy era
Founded the Crimson Fists eventually
so we have 2 marines for the runner ups
Pollux and Haegr
tyberous is another
Heās not
Tyberos is a above average height but at no point does he do anything that impressive martially or strength wise
i did not expect only really 2 to be the main runner ups
Haegr and Pollux
Oh uh
Endryd Haar
Is another
He ragdolls Abbadon, whose in full Cataphratci like itās nothing
And Abbadon comments on how absurdly strong he is
Itās implied he was a Thunder Warrior too prior and became an Astartes later
what happened to him is he dead
is he one of those their chapter turned into the enemy but they decided stay loyal marines
He was a World Eater but he never got the nails
And was on the fringes when the heresy started
oh lucky him
He was more a War Hound than a World Eater
Him and Angron didnāt get along
Then he started his own little Blackshield warband
did Angron comment on his strength
He doesnāt talk about him that I recall
shame
probably didn't murder enough civilians in the given timeframe
Eventually he worked with loyalists a bit and realized he was wasting is potential and life just running around attacking whoever
So he went to Terra to offer Malcador his service
Basically realized heās a weapon and he wasnāt using himself to his fullest potential leading himself
Eventually heād die during the siege
skill issue
Their definition has changed a lot
The Ashen Claws still exist
Deathwatch has most though
None of the traitor legion loyalists though
None that weāre aware of
Unless we count the fallen who joined up with lion
i mean they could be from those legions
you can't know
unless they're named characters or smth
As said Blackshields origins are basically never told
Of the few we know of
Some are definitely Fallen
The ones pictured though neither have a clear origin
Or even much of a hint
Yeah for some reason i just assumed the deathwatch version did come from only loyalist chapters
The idea is you can do a lot of open ended ideas for it
its basically your version of OCDonutSteal
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kill everything
this is how every person who wear all black outfits look to me
Raven Guard ahh
Y'know all those artworks and descriptions of Khorne.
They're all wrong
Here is his TRUE FORM
bro š
Me picking a Blackshield and my other RPG players think I have some crazy backstory in mindā¦.when I just did it cause I got no fucking clue what my backstory should be an Iām gonna either never say it or make it all up as we go
I like black tho š¦
But seriously, if you do a Blackshield, donāt fucking say your backstory
Literally me
literally the same as "You picked Paladin because they are the most basic humanity fuck yeah class right?"
If you get that far
Me: Uhhh no i couldnt just pick a class
Black shields be like: "My backstory is too tragic...
Anyways time to say my backstor-"
White, brown hair, human, male, fighter
oh yeah the safest bet for the the appearance of a chaos god is their greater demons right
I picked hexblade warlock because i wanted to smite without being alignment bound
I just like the idea of smacking someone with HOLY SPIRIT
For great justice
šØāš¦²
BG3 made me realize how paladins in the tabletop are funny
OK so your power comes from your oath where do you get your power at level 1 and 2
Also because Paladins usually can wear sick armor
My cleric in 5e was based off the oracl guy from pathfinder wotr
Iāve been blessed with DMs though so by the end I tend to get some really sick gear that makes for some sick moments
Lots of āfuck magicā gear
Give me a hammer
Listen i rock that chainmail good
Let me bulgeon the HERETICS
5e is a lot more lenient with paladin oaths too
Shame berserker barbarian sucks ass
I think you can homebrew oath of the crown as a fuck you antimage
Yeah gotta have a dm who can play into it
One game a DM basically made me a magic blank
A dm gave me a ring with infinite spiritual sword
It was the dumbest shit ever
But great
And another player could make me effectively immune to most physical ranged attacks
So I got to do a lot of ācome at me broā fights holding breaches and stuff
Oh yeah eternal for tanking basically everything i need to go with bearbarian right
I honestly am not sure
Iām not up to date on DnD and when I do play itās always very
Fluid
I mean in 5th like half the subclasses for cleric have heavy armor profic but they've always have been wearing heavier armor since the early editions, that's one of the things that separates both paladin and clerics from other casters/hybrids.
Like I said the DMs Iāve had have been very cool about uh building into certain ideas
And the group was also ok with me being the sword guy
A by the rule dm isnt always the greatest
Yeah there should always be some fluidity
I picked Paladin because Oath of the Ancients deeply aligns with my own worldview. I am whimsy incarnate
totem warrior barbarians that have the bear
gives them resistance to just about every damage except psychic i think
oh yeah here it is
Bear. While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes you tough enough to stand up to any punishment.
wild magic my beloved
I'm actually playing a DnD campaign with friends
I am a Tiefling Rogue
That is utterly fucking insane
Like literally fucking insane
Voices in your head type shit
She's also based off of a Jester
Pretty fun to roleplay as her honestly
The other party members are thus:
A Crocodile Mutant person who is basically that one 1000 yard stare WW1 image 24/7
A Fairy Necromancer who has zero scruples and zero social awareness. Basically autism incarnate.
And finally,
A Bard Sartyr
They're the only normal person

So basically
Two of our party are insane
One is traumatized and constantly on the verge of a breakdown
And one is literally just normal and trying to save their family
It's great
SWORDGUY
I do think I sent the dm the trailer though as an idea for what I wanted to build towards by the end
Honestly there's nothing wrong with that
That does sound very fun
Like as long as they're interesting writing wise y'know
The personality matters more along with the potential conflicts
It helped that it let other players be more like, special
My dude basically was just the sword guy
Like you basically played as the straightman
I got some cool moments but yeah I didnāt want a big backstory
Yeah usually in every fantasy show. There is always a human character
To act as a rock to tie yourself down towards y'know?
He was pretty simple and largely just ended up being the tanky melee guy who did that kinda stuff
Every damned time
Even when I say that I'll try something new I end up as a fighter with some sort of a longsword/greatsword/two handed sword
when this trailer came out me and a bunch of friends did a full party of fighters that were all battlemasters with greatswords, it was peak.
Punching people while wielding a greatsword is just awesome
Yeah again. Nothing wrong with that honestly.
As long as he wasn't just
"Guy with sword stab people"
And you actually interacted with the party
Bg3 rage is fun
was about to say
Also why does DnD give you the temptation to do the weirdest shit sometimes
no
yeah classic my brain shut down for a moment there
i'm surprised you didn't pick oath of the ancients because of how old you are
i'm kidding i'm kidding
I rolled a 1 and my character basically jumped graciously and fucking fell flat on the ground
I broke two of my ribs
Lmao
We had a guy who did a gnome barbarian who I would chuck at the enemy
Which was hilarious
FACEBITER
GET EM
BG3 definitely has the best representation of a barbarian rage
He eventually got stuff like giants gloves and other stuff which made him super strong
throws gnome like it's fucking pokemon
Literally antman logic at this point
That was a fun group
the amulet and the giant gloves right
at the house of hope
Literally the fastball special from Xmen
I canāt recall what it was for our game but yeah
or are you playing an actual DND complaint
Stuff like that
Imagine getting your leg hit by a tiny fist and it just
Bends in all the wrong places
The rules donāt work well for playing a barbarian gnome but we worked around it
Your bones there just become dust
He started out pretty meh but got super deadly by the end
did you give him this
The sheer force somehow rippling through your leg
the ultimate strength class weapon
I think he had an axe but yeah it was really strong and funny
ah shame
oh man miss opportunity for you to be felix and for him to be gotrek
i guess you guys are kind of the off brand version i suppose
sword guy and battle gnome
He also would brawl at taverns and stuff and do street fights and boxing and stuff
