[opaque coyote]

Like it's just good ol

fun

[dusk patrol]

This guy hasn’t even started yet for example

[opaque coyote]

Also are there any gay SMs

[arctic talon]

That’s not a 12 year old

[opaque coyote]

Asking for a friend-

[gray umbra]

all of them

[opaque coyote]

true!!!

[gray umbra]

what do you think they did in the warrior lodges

[arctic talon]

SMs are asexual

They don’t feel sexual attraction

[dusk patrol]

He’s at best 16-18, Fenrisians are built different

[near wasp]

Ayo

[paper haven]

Depends on how deeply you want to mimic rome

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside, do Space Wolves actually feel attraction

[dusk patrol]

Most marines are taken before sexual feelings can even develop

[raven stone]

“We lost Tharius! Vengeance!”
“VENGEANCE!”

• actual dialogue in SM 2

[arctic talon]

Not really, they just know what it is

[dusk patrol]

They’re aware of what it was

[arctic talon]

Since they had them in the past

[opaque coyote]

Ah

Okay then

[arctic talon]

If one of them was gay before then yeah

[dusk patrol]

And they can look at a lady or whatever and notice that she’s pretty

[arctic talon]

But

[dusk patrol]

But they’re not actually dtf

[gray umbra]

as dilara once said

sms are mentally virgins

[opaque coyote]

Saddening

[dusk patrol]

Except of course for your mom

[near wasp]

They are psychologically programed to care more for there brotherhood than for delights such as women

[paper haven]

The process basically takes their personality, photocopies it, and then places that over the new space marine brain.

[dusk patrol]

Since everyone bangs her

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I'm asking this cause I was thinking that

The Space Wolf SM "romance" would be a friends with benefits type of thing

[dusk patrol]

We don’t have examples

[opaque coyote]

While the Word Bearer would entirely be one sided

[dusk patrol]

And marines don’t do romance anyways

[opaque coyote]

Like the Word Bearer would just be entirely unaware

[paper haven]

They might remember what attraction is, but their brain can no longer really process those feelings

[arctic talon]

^this

[paper haven]

They are sentient weapons after all

[opaque coyote]

Okay got it

[dusk patrol]

Most marines don’t get it at all

SW experienced it once so they understand a bit more

[raven stone]

and then you have the Emperor’s Children who understand a KARKING LOT MORE lol

[dusk patrol]

There’s a funny scene in a Ventris book where he and his squad have to attend a ball and they just close ranks in a corner after the noblewomen keep trying to flirt with them

[paper haven]

Remember that the transformation process is deeply traumatic

[storm jungle]

Good to know my tactics for social events are still employed in the future.

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-penguin-wave-smile-boys-gif-4858940

[arctic talon]

That was so funny ngl

[storm jungle]

its too relatable

lmao

"Can I leave."

[opaque coyote]

Because I was thinking that there should be a """"romance"""" path with Uralon.

It is entirely one sided with Uralon being extremely confused

[near wasp]

Ive been alone for so long idk even how to talk to a woman anymore

[raven stone]

IIRC there was even a Marine in a book that was so unsettled by the idea of talking with children.

He was glad when the child asked about battles…

[paper haven]

I read a story where a World eater was speaking to a child

[dusk patrol]

Also in Forges of Mars some Black Templars have to attend a dinner and the Reclusiarch, in terminator armor, has his table manners and everything down pat while another BT has no idea what to do so he just sits and stares awkwardly

[paper haven]

He didn't kill the child, but it was cutting it very close

[gray umbra]

like any other person lol

[green loom]

I don't even know how to talk to people smh

[gray umbra]

tru

[raven stone]

Also also…
If you take the RPG books into account.
Deathwatch actually have to reverse train solo Marines with social protocols for certain situations that requires only a solo Kill Marine.

But high coordination with local forces

[gray umbra]

space marines have negative rizz

[arctic talon]

I’d say chaplains have decent charisma

Lol

[paper haven]

The kid asked a question that was vaguely illegal and the butcher's nails were like: Enemy detected, kill everyone.

[raven stone]

Looks at Leandros.
Looks at Azmodai.
/shitpost

[dusk patrol]

And there’s the Deathwatch chaplain in Eisenhorn who does the pinkies up and sips tea from tiny cups

[arctic talon]

Asmodai does have charisma

He’s also just a dick

[gray umbra]

Leandros makes pretty good speeches too

[arctic talon]

There’s a reason he’s decently liked by some

Lol

[raven stone]

Ok fair in both cases.

[arctic talon]

He’s just also a massive prick

[gray umbra]

i think generally super traumatized killing machines will probably have a hard time talking to normal people

[dusk patrol]

There’s a funny scene in a Iron Hands book where the chaplain has to be charismatic and charming to some guardsmen and the rest of the IH are borderline disturbed by how he’s acting

[opaque coyote]

"I-I like you..."
gives flowers
"THANK YOU CITIZEN, BUT WHY DID YOU GIVE ME PICKED OUT PLANTS??? THEY CAN'T EVEN BE EATEN FOR NOURISHMENT BY YOUR KIND."

[gray umbra]

nah he will eat the flowers and try to absorb its genetic memory

[paper haven]

There's a picture of that with some death korps guys

[near wasp]

Leandros being a chaplain still fucks me up but it makes sense kinda. Maybe he also had penance and this was the result. He wasn't wrong for turning in Titus but it was who he turned him into

[paper haven]

"Here, have this flower."
"Thank you, citizen. Nom."

[near wasp]

Titus absolutely should of been investigated

[opaque coyote]

The person who has a crush on him watches as the SM goes through the memories of living through life as a plant

"Hello?"

[gray umbra]

"this village was tainted by HERESY"

[opaque coyote]

"I WILL POLLENATE NOW."

"???"

[paper haven]

Including the memory of the person picking that plant, which traumatized the plant and now the SM empathizes with the plant

[opaque coyote]

Fun fact, Plants do actually feel something similar to pain

[paper haven]

I am aware

[opaque coyote]

so...

[dusk patrol]

Good

[paper haven]

Which makes this even better

[near wasp]

That must be why they are so tasty

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the SM would probably feel himself being like ripped in half

[storm jungle]

Cant wait for in like 500 years when we are long dead and our future generations deal with the cordyceps virus

fucking losers

[paper haven]

Get spored on nerds

[storm jungle]

We enjoy mushrooms

[gray umbra]

sometimes i wonder what our doomsday event will be

[dusk patrol]

We’ll have too many augmetics by then

[storm jungle]

It'll prob be boring

[near wasp]

I want augments so bad

[storm jungle]

real life always is

[paper haven]

Already happened, remember Covid?

[snow fern]

stress and boredom do be roommates

[gray umbra]

covid just kind of became the flu

[dusk patrol]

Worse, it won’t happen

[paper haven]

Honestly it was pretty disappointing as apocalypses go

[dusk patrol]

Instead we’ll just expand and leave earth behind

And eventually it’ll grow again

And then the monkeys take over

[paper haven]

Then they evolve into humans and think that aliens made the ruins of our civilization

[dusk patrol]

Eventually we’ll get to cowboy monkeys

[paper haven]

Full circle

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, it'll either be an AI becoming Sentient, Nuclear war, or Biological warfare

However if we managed to avoid these things

Then we're fine

[dusk patrol]

It’s actually gonna be society

https://tenor.com/view/when-society-joker-movie-joaquin-phoenix-gif-25184211

[paper haven]

It'll just be the plastic what kills us

[opaque coyote]

Even then it won't kill us all

It'll just suck

[gray umbra]

i just figured it would be something like people being overworked to the point they dont have time or money to have kids

[opaque coyote]

a lot

[crystal forum]

sociology every day

[dusk patrol]

Actually scratch all that

[raven stone]

We will be the only species ever to overwork ourselves into extinction

[dusk patrol]

One day your mom is gonna finally reject a guy

And then we’ll all die

The end

[near wasp]

I wonder when we'll remember that heads can go on pikes

[gray umbra]

one day bodypillows will replace the touch of a woman

[paper haven]

I mean, look at Japan.

[storm jungle]

The moment society fails probably

[opaque coyote]

Probably not

Usually people revolt if that happens

[near wasp]

This

[opaque coyote]

The reason why we're having less kids now is because we're basically in a comfortable spot

Basically

We don't need to make 5 children

Because 4 of them won't die

before reaching 10 years old

[storm jungle]

I love people who are like

"previous generation people were the real gigachads like spartans"

okay enjoy getting thrown off a cliff because you got a little bump on your chest i guess

😔

[languid meadow]

Me watching my frostpunk 2 population complain about child labor

[opaque coyote]

Shockingly enough, each generation has their own problems

[gray umbra]

oh like the "previous generation are more hardworking than you god darn millenials/gen zers"

[opaque coyote]

From physical to mental to whatever

[opaque coyote]

Pretty much yeah

[raven stone]

The ones saying it are either idiots who don’t realize that.
Or worst, are actual body builders nuts that actually would have survived even back then.

[opaque coyote]

A tale as old as time

[raven stone]

Frostpunk is just the Ad Mech and Ecclesiarchy arguing who can force people to push through better, change my mind…

[opaque coyote]

Honestly if they're the latter. At least they made sure they wouldn't get their own shit thrown back at them

[gray umbra]

sometimes i look at the older people i work with and i wonder how they can exist

[opaque coyote]

But even then, people forget that diseases exist

So

Yeah even the body builders would potentially die

Because they got a paper cut at the wrong time

People forget that natural selection doesn't ACTUALLY care about how strong you are

or even how smart

No, what it truly cares about is FUCKING

Literally

[raven stone]

True, it is weird how the bodybuilding cult takes health to the point of “a healthy immune system can beat ANYHTING”

[opaque coyote]

Why do you think insects are prevalent

[languid meadow]

the bug menace

[opaque coyote]

They live for like 5 days, but they breed so much that it doesn't even matter

[opaque coyote]

Our immune system is actually fascinating tbh

Problem is that it's not flawless

A lot of disease kill us by literally turning our own defenses against us

Not even due to the actual disease

[gray umbra]

human body is pretty resilient in general

got launched off a bike recently and bounced down a highway. Only got away with cracked ribs and a fucked up arm

[opaque coyote]

Hell Allergies are just the body falsely thinking that the Pistachoes you're eating is totally poison

And basically firing at nothing

[opaque coyote]

Also true

Both physically and mentally, our bodies are tough.

But that doesn't mean that it's flawless

...

WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULD GET CYBERNETICS BABYEE

TRANSHUMANISM IS THE WAY TO GO

[gray umbra]

if i got a sandevistan i would be 100 percent more productive

[opaque coyote]

PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH

[gray umbra]

gotta wait for the musk chip

[opaque coyote]

Honestly our doomsday event, ideally, would be transcending into an entirely new species

[gray umbra]

im ok with that

[opaque coyote]

Like basically editing ourselves to the point where we're simply not human anymore

Whether genetically, cybernetically, or both

Which honestly

The ideal way for us to become ""extinct""

Is if we simply became so good that we ascended past the label of "human"

[gray umbra]

only issue might be the cost

unless you're like taking out a loan on a new part

oh shit

we can have repomen

but for augments

"sorry sir, you havent paid the last 3 months for your heart. we're gonna have to repossess it"

[raven stone]

Fuck with tech being remote, imagine remote controlled implants…

[gray umbra]

hey logitech is trying to make their mouses a SaaS product now

where u pay a sub to use your mouse lmao

[raven stone]

…

Fuckers.

[shadow plover]

as if their shit weren't bad enoug already

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think there was a game based on that

I forgot it's name but pretty much

Your life is on lease

Well

Your body to be precise

[green loom]

I wanna be like the spartans

[opaque coyote]

If you can't pay for your body

...

well

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah ironically, the Spartans were actually the most equal in terms of gender

Women had far more freedom compared to the other greek states

[green loom]

Were they the ones with the twinks

Or was that Athens

[opaque coyote]

And they even had their own unique version of Aphoridite.

Who was a war goddess

It also explains why more """current""" greek mythology have Aphoridite and Ares in an affair

Ares also never kidnapped/raped somebody

In fact, when somebody SA'd one of his daughters

He fucking killed them

It's funny that the two most "morally upright" Greek gods are Ares and Hades

[opaque coyote]

Basically the myth went like this

Alcippe was attacked and raped on the beach of Athens by a son of Poseidon

So Ares came to her aid and murdered the perpetrator

Poseidon demanded justice for his son, and Ares was judged by the Court of the Gods in what, according to the myth, was the first trial in history.

Ares claimed to have killed Poseidon's son to defend/avenge his daughter from rape, and Alcippe confirmed her father's statement. The gods believed them and, as there were no witnesses to the contrary, completely acquitted Ares.

[misty brook]

I know humans have a afterlife if they worship the Emperor. Or they get eaten by daemons in the Warp. Is there a afterlife where is the exact same for the humans like with Ynnead for the Craftworlders or no?

[dusk patrol]

People will read this and say Black library has contrived writing smh

[dusk patrol]

Sometimes

Maybe

Not consistent or clear

[opaque coyote]

Who knows

Like what happens after death irl

It's one big shrug

[dusk patrol]

We know they seem to mostly disappate but sometimes they don’t

And also there’s ghosts and stuff and whatever

[opaque coyote]

Yeah surprisingly enough, stories being told mostly orally for thousands of years get convulted. There are at like 10 different variations of a myth about a guy turning into a deer and getting eaten by wolves

specifically, HOW he got turned into a deer and eaten by wolves

With the original being long gone

[dusk patrol]

Also a lot of it was pretty clearly

“Heh what if a lady got fucked by a swan”

Lots of pervy fan service

[opaque coyote]

Basically the current theory on why Zeus went down and banged a lot of mortal women is that

A lot of kings and such wanted to claim

"Our city was founded by a son of Zeus"

"Uhhh... yeah our city also"

and then it sort of devolved

[dusk patrol]

I’m looking forward to Ralph Finnes doing a movie on the end of the Odyssey

[opaque coyote]

I love how the odyssey can be summarized as

[rocky gale]

Brunt is missing

[opaque coyote]

"Odysseus's crew are fucking idiots"

[rocky gale]

[opaque coyote]

Literally most the problems are the fault of his crew

[raven stone]

Y’know I have to wonder whether some bits were just…made up to cover up really dirty acts.
For example, maybe Circe is a story made up to cover the fact that they had to resort to ||cannabalism|| to survive…

[opaque coyote]

Maybe but the Odyssey may not even be true

Actually it probably isn't lmao

[raven stone]

Good point.

[opaque coyote]

Also I find it funny that after eating the golden cows

They went on the ship

And then ship FUCKING EXPLODES

[raven stone]

Ancient myth is weird in that it sometimes is a blend of fact and fiction, other times it is purely made up…

[opaque coyote]

Literally killing all the crew

and only leaving odysseus alive

[dusk patrol]

Odyssey is a pretty depressing story

[raven stone]

Guy had to fight for his own home as well

[dusk patrol]

By the end he’s just old and bitter and he kills basically everyone

Except like his wife and a few servants

[gray umbra]

greek heroes are meme factories

[opaque coyote]

There is a scene where he meets his dog after he came back. Who after having a tearful reunion... dies

[rocky gale]

The Odyssey is a myth so old that we're not even certain if the guy who allegedly wrote it was even real.

[opaque coyote]

like the dog dies after he meets him again

...

[misty brook]

Yea. Chiron the centaur god of teaching gets poked with a poison arrow, coated in the venom of the Lemean Hydra. And wants to die, but can't because of his immorality and asks Zeus to take it away so he can die.

[raven stone]

I mean the ones he killed were basically home invaders, but yes.

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also all of them wanted to bang his wife

And also insulted his son

[dusk patrol]

He kills his servants too

Like he’s somewhat justified for some but he also almost kills his wife

It’s definitely a vengeance thing

[raven stone]

Well the servants who sold him out in his absence was the version I read.

[opaque coyote]

Fun fact by the way, Bows were reconsidered disrespectful to be killed by for the Greeks.

Basically they were mainly used for hunting

[misty brook]

To be fair though. Odysseus has nothing on Hercules.

[dusk patrol]

He’s definitely somewhat justified but he’s also not really the good guy

[opaque coyote]

So him literally killing the suitors is basically him treating them like animals

[raven stone]

interesting

[misty brook]

Not really animals. More like getting rid of pests.

[dusk patrol]

Also one of the suitors is a nice guy and he tries to tell him to leave but he doesn’t

So he gets killed too

[opaque coyote]

To be fair, after all the shit he went through. Who wouldn't go a bit crazy

[dusk patrol]

“Don’t come to school tomorrow” energy

[raven stone]

But I mean, come on, last thing you do is try to get on with another man’s wife…

[dusk patrol]

Oh definitely

[dusk patrol]

They all thought he was dead

His wife included really

It had been like 30 years?

[misty brook]

Though his supposed death wasn't really trolling like Thesus when he returned on his ship with a black flag.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah and women weren't exactly treated well in Greece

[raven stone]

…yea ok, that is kind of plain ridiculous, I actually forgot the time frame there.

[opaque coyote]

So there was no such thing as

"Woman not wanting to take up another husband due to grief"

[misty brook]

Sparta's women were.

[dusk patrol]

Don’t get me wrong most of them had it coming

[misty brook]

But by a bit.

[opaque coyote]

100%

Again like I said earlier

Aphordite in Sparta was actually a War Goddess

Why do you think she had an affair with Ares?

bleh

names

[misty brook]

The only greek god I feel bad for is Hephatsus.

Boy got birthed and almost killed by Hera, because of how ugly he was.

[dusk patrol]

Hades and Hades wife Persephone, I think

[opaque coyote]

Also the affair by Ares and Aphrodite?

[dusk patrol]

They’re both pretty chill

[opaque coyote]

Aphordite was married to Hepatsus

...

yeaaahh...

[dusk patrol]

The one person she probably never fucked

[misty brook]

Well he and every other god knew Aphrodite was a slut.

Before that point.

[opaque coyote]

Yup. That's why he didn't like... punch her or anything. And instead just asked for his dowry to be repaid

[misty brook]

By the way. Do you guys like Blood of Zeus or no?

[opaque coyote]

Also, there is actual historical precedent for why Hephatsus was wheelchair bound

Basically

[misty brook]

I think that was the roman version, Vulcan.

[opaque coyote]

Bronze was actually originally made by using Copper... AND MERCURY

Which made all the blacksmiths sick

[misty brook]

Same with the Mad Hatter too.

[opaque coyote]

Which is why Hepatsus was often called sickly and his body weak

[opaque coyote]

Haven't even heard about it until now. I have also not finished Hades 1 yet. Really should tho

[opaque coyote]

Hades and Persephone are the healthiest relationship in the Greek Pantheon

Hades literally named cerberus "Spot"

As for the kidnapping thing?

A) Kidnapping women to become your partners was so common in ancient greece that it was practically an accepted way to get a partner

[misty brook]

https://tenor.com/view/advance-blood-of-zeus-attack-fight-go-gif-18776142

It's a good show.

[opaque coyote]

This is bad now ofc, but remember that it was quite literally a different time

B) It was actually suggested by Zeus

Basically Hades asked for advice on how to get a girlfriend

And Zeus was like

"Kidnap her"

Literally

[misty brook]

Hades is the most good god too. By good I mean his very lax, compared to the others.

[opaque coyote]

The only thing I'd argue that Hades did wrong is the promagranite seeds thing

[gray umbra]

zeus is a very rapey guy

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also Persephone might've been a God of Death in the past as well.

Like so feared that she was basically only referred to with euphemisms

And whenever a God is only referred to indirectly

That's because people were literally so terrified of her

That they didn't want to get her attention

Her being the daughter of Demeter was something that was added far more ""recently""

[misty brook]

I can see why with Winter and such. Because of the icy harsh conditions that contrasts spring.

[rocky gale]

Still kind of a thing amongst Irish Travelers

[misty brook]

If I was a demi-god in Percy Jackson. I probably wanna be a son of Atlas.

[tough haven]

Thats a titan

[rocky gale]

Titans were also Gods

[misty brook]

The only thing I wish now for media is to portray titans as the same size as the Olympians. Not fucking giants, there is not description of them being that big.

[rocky gale]

Yea media always depicts them as being giants or monsters compared to the Olympian Gods

When like they were all Gods

They were basically just different generations

It's basically Boomers = Primordials, Millennials = Titans, Gen Z = Olympians

[misty brook]

Yea, but their ancestors. The Greek Primordials were literal concepts though. So I think they would be big.

[opaque coyote]

What's even more interesting is that Mycenean Greece has no evidence of Hades ever existing. Despite Persephone and Demeter existing even back then.

So basically, Persephone might have been the original Death God

The Daughter of Demeter thing might've came after that

Basically she had two main old euphemisms

"Despoina" which has several meanings. Mainly "Queen, Dreaded, Mistress, and Awful"

Which is also the oldest one we can find

Later on, the daughter of Demeter thing came along with another Euphemism for Persephone "Kore"

Maiden, Daughter, Girl, Child, Growth

The original Persephone might've had a different name. But we don't know it because people refused to name her out of FEAR. Imagine being so terrifying that people refuse to say your actual name. She basically was like Voldemort in that she was "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named".

So basically to summarize:

Broke: Hades, Dreaded King of the Dead and his cute wife, Persephone.
Woke: Persephone, Dreaded Queen of the Dead and her cute husband Hades.

[misty brook]

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also, as a fun tidbit. There was a story where the nymph Minthe tried to seduce Hades. Hades politely refused her advances, but she kept trying

So Persephone trampled her to death

and then turned her into the plant now known as "Mint"

[misty brook]

Which species of "Mint"?

[opaque coyote]

since it's mythology, all of em

[misty brook]

Alright. By the way. Do you like Tau?

[opaque coyote]

ye

if I ever find a GW store near me, I'll probably buy a Tau army

...I have nobody to play with tho

[crisp heath]

How much does one army cost?

Like average, not bare minimum

[misty brook]

They need to add lore of Tau fire caste warriors adapting to Melee. Since they have swords for a reason. Besides Commander Farsight and his lot. Also that one Fire Caste Ethereal whose a gigchad.

Did you guys like the Exodite series or no?

[rocky gale]

It was alright

Was very short and felt a bit pointless tbh

[storm jungle]

It was basically butchered by GW as confirmed by ex-studio leakers

so i just got no feelings on it unfortunately

[opaque coyote]

GW trying to not sabotage artists and writers challenge

https://tenor.com/view/the-bikers-discord-is-this-gonna-work-or-not-gif-24954802

[rose thorn]

No clue why GW makes the worst choices with 40k

[storm jungle]

WH+ is wild lol

but yeah basically the product was gonna be way different but GW hopped on and changed a lot of things. They also had a "military expert" constantly shit change on the animation before it became what it was lol

im PRETTY SURE you can still find the story on reddit, the account that leaked it got deleted too

iirc they were already saying it was a dummy account because of that lmao

[opaque coyote]

I also find it funny that Hadron is one of the Tech Priests that are more "socially aware".

And she constantly screams at you.

But she is aware enough to at least make it so that she doesn't screech Binary at the pre-servitors

She constantly chastises us but the thing is that she can just

Not care

In fact, she could not care about us or our weapons

Basically she actually cares about the people she works with.

Even if they constantly make her want screech

[rocky gale]

Dukane seems cool

Does she only have voice lines for the new map or did they add new ones for the older maps?

[tough haven]

I know right

[crystal forum]

i want my big buff space soldiers shooting handheld cannons to be military accurate

[tough haven]

I mean, both of those are accurate

[opaque coyote]

To be fair it's hard to hear "Titan" and not immediately imagine them as

Big

Honestly I imagine them as bigger than humans but not so much

Like they're 6 meters tall

Still gigantic but not necessarily mountain huge

Also I think it's stated that the Olympians are actually giant in their true forms

It's just that they commonly become smaller

Because when Zeus revealed his true form to a mortal

She immediately fucking died by the sight of him

Like disintegrated

[misty brook]

Well the word is used more to to scale the level of strength, intelligence, or importance rather than size.

[misty brook]

Do you believe the Greeks created Dionysus as an excuse just to get wasted?

[rose thorn]

What?

[misty brook]

Dionysus is the God of Revelry aka parties. I'm just wondering if the Greeks made him. So they could drink a lot until they were drunk which was considered a state of spiritual ecstasy by them when worshipping Dionysus. Before passing out, of course.

[hallow plover]

A military expert in a world where the basic tactics for (almost) every factions is to charge in melee
|| tactical marines||

[storm jungle]

honestly probably lmao

[hallow plover]

Greek gods are pretty human by their flaws

[misty brook]

The only tactical marines are Raptors and Mentors.

So whenever a Commissar or a CO says "BAYONETS!!!". It's literally Leroy Jenkins time right?

https://tenor.com/view/leroy-jenkins-world-of-warcraft-mmorpg-gaming-v-ideo-game-gif-3526555

[rose thorn]

I know the first part, im asking about the made him part

[storm jungle]

religion is basically fiction so i assumed thats what he meant

[rose thorn]

oh ok

[storm jungle]

What did you assume

[rose thorn]

its a warhammer discord what do you think

[storm jungle]

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

[rose thorn]

I assumed Christian Imperialism

[rocky gale]

Haven't we all made a Dionysus in our time

[rose thorn]

I was checking if he thought that religion was invalid and fake or some shit

[storm jungle]

Uhhh i mean

it depends

but also yeah nothing like that lol

[storm jungle]

playing Hades definitely made me a Dionysus supporter

GYATT

[rocky gale]

One second gotta check

My love for Hecate was short lived, for I have discovered Nemesis

[arctic talon]

LOL

[misty brook]

Why does Nemesis have the moon symbol?!

[arctic talon]

part of the plot of Hades 2, its to help her hide from Chronos

[rocky gale]

Because she can have whatever she wants, I love her

[arctic talon]

She literally can steal money from you in game

[crystal forum]

larmoth has no loyalty smh

[rocky gale]

I am fickle

[arctic talon]

Nemesis is great

[rocky gale]

and weak

[crystal forum]

not waifu material

[arctic talon]

she's like actively antagonistic

while also helping you

[misty brook]

Is Selene in the game?

[storm jungle]

Yep she is

[misty brook]

WOW! The Pegasus though...

[arctic talon]

honse

[misty brook]

Not gonna lie the upside moon crescent makes her look like she has horns.

[storm jungle]

Im half-sure it might be intentional

makes her look pretty but sinister

[misty brook]

Aphrodite is just out in the nude here... With strands of her hair conveniently placed too. Don't know much about her personality though. I need to play the game.

[misty brook]

Just wondering, but what do you guys think about the webtoon comic Lore Olympus?

[storm jungle]

I like it but its just not for me

the artstyle is a bit of an eyesore, but thats a me thing lol

[arctic talon]

very much what you'd expect from Aphrodite

imo

[storm jungle]

Shes pretty "lore" accurate id say

Nice on the surface but a total cunt if you wrong her lmao

[misty brook]

Question which Loyalist Primarch is gonna come back next? Leman Russ for me.

One we have the Logistics: Guilliman, The General: Lion El'Jonson, and Leman Russ being The Hand would be perfect to me.

[storm jungle]

Russ is the most likely one.

Its entirely related to miniature sales and Wolves sell pretty well and are pretty popular.

The other loyalist founding Chapters less so lol

[misty brook]

Not gonna lie. I think Guilliman might rewrite or get rid of the Codex Astartes, since it is outdated himself he said.

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure he already rewrote it

[rose thorn]

I was very, very confused for a second

[rocky gale]

😏

[misty brook]

I see. Though a Space Marine Chapter that has Legion strength would be helpful nowadays. But the only one I see who are like that are the Black Templars. Even with the introduction of Primaris Marines, due to high attrition rates of the sector-wide wars they fight.

[rocky gale]

Guilliman kinda did have a Legion for a while, he had a lot of grey Primaris unified under a single command structure during the Crusade

They got split off into other Chapters as needed

[arctic talon]

Black Templars aren't legion strength

[misty brook]

They have the most numbers though due to their eternal crusade bypassing the Codex Astartes restriction on the imposed thousand strong limitation.

[arctic talon]

the crusade thing isn't in lore

the BT just ignore that part of the Codex

and no one asks questions

marines nowadays also are much higher quality then Legionaries during the great crusade

a chapter cannot reach legion strength, not with the way marines are trained + used now

also there's more loyalist marines around now then the # of loyalist marines there were at the start of the heresy

which is funny

[red anvil]

I wish the Imperium was kind to vaguely humanoid species

[arctic talon]

too bad

Xenophobia time

[misty brook]

It is. And I guess too with the training as well. But if it does happen. But the only ones that aren't bothered by it are the Sons of Russ.

[misty brook]

I guess if they look human enough. They could be mistaken for humans.

[arctic talon]

tbh if chapter numbers were uncapped

it wouldn't change too much I'd say

most chapters struggle to stay full strength

especially now

either way Guilliman is revising the funny book

I'd assume he'd most likely move the marine cap

[misty brook]

Yea. By the way has there been any Chaos Space Marines who wanted to redeem themselves to be a Loyalist again?

Cause they saw how fucked up Chaos is.

[arctic talon]

there's a few

usually the redemption is death

[rocky gale]

He needs to rewrite the bit about how many marines in a Chapter because it doesn't make sense

[misty brook]

Can you name them, please.

[arctic talon]

there's one in the Sons of the Forest book

I forgor the name of

and there's a plague marine in a UM codex excerpt

from like 6e

[rocky gale]

Like there's 1000 in a Chapter, 10 companies, 100 in each company, 10 squads in a company, 10 marines in each squad, but each squad is led by a Sgt, each Company has two LT's, a Captain, atleast one Apothecary and a Librarian.

Numbers don't add up

[arctic talon]

Oh

gw retcon'd some stuff

for command staff and such

Command staff, honor guard and specalists

don't count to the 1000 cap

[rocky gale]

Yea that makes sense because like the old stuff didn't make sense

[arctic talon]

I belive the retcon was in the second 7e Space marine codex

or one of the supplements

[misty brook]

I imagine if the Imperium had a Musician especially one that's a rockstar. Their genre of rock music would tell about how much life sucks, but Humanity has the will to keep going. They would be extremely popular I think.

[rocky gale]

It'd be those state sponsored Soviet musicans

[misty brook]

I was thinking more Disturbed or Bad Omens.

Not that.

[rocky gale]

Too bad

At best you get Na zare
https://youtu.be/Jn47dbF1XIA

[misty brook]

Okay. So the Space Marines that have it ROUGH are the Lamenters right?

[arctic talon]

In terms of named chapters

The chapters having miserable times are The Lamenters and the Carcharadons

[misty brook]

Why the Carcharadons?

[arctic talon]

Terrible supply issues

[misty brook]

I understand the Lamenters, especially now that they're beginning to get the Red Thirst and Black Rage.

[arctic talon]

They’re in exile

Technically

[crystal forum]

rejected birds

became sharks

[arctic talon]

They lack geneseed, they lack wargear even with the primaris reinforcments

[misty brook]

What the fuck happened to their tech-priests and tech-marines?

[arctic talon]

The space sharks we see in lore and in art

Are uh

The prettier ones

[arctic talon]

They don’t have any tech priests, they got exiled without any

They have some tech marines

But the tech marines have to make due with their terrible supplies

The only new supplies they get are via grey tithe

Which comes from them giving stuff to the mechanicus

And they get equipment based off of what they scrounge up

[misty brook]

Okay. What the fuck. This isn't efficient.

[arctic talon]

Yeah, corax hated them

Or rather he hated their ancestors

They were sent out to die

He would still hate them now

[crystal forum]

corax is mean

[arctic talon]

Not really

He exiled the worst of the legion

The raven guard pre corax were a bunch of slaving sadistic psychopaths

Lol

[misty brook]

Fuck... I'm guessing the only humans that look different to the Imperium are the Nocturneans. They have onyx-black skin and red eyes too, right? Not gonna lie. If some of their people became Guardsman. They get shunned by the other humans.

[arctic talon]

There’s some humans on other worlds with oddly colored skin

Stuff like blue or red skin

They rarely show up

But yeah they do get uh

Looks

[misty brook]

I can guess the red skin is from being a Psyker, right? I don't know about blue skin though.

[arctic talon]

The red skin isn’t clear

Where it’s from

[misty brook]

Because Magnus that's why.

[arctic talon]

Some planets just have odd skin colors that aren’t part of like our irl range of skin tone

Either way the carchs would still disgust corax

They recruit the same way

They treat their serfs the same way

[crystal forum]

mf had to scroll all the way down @languid meadow

thanks discord activity markers for showing this depravity

[misty brook]

Do the Ravenguard hate the Carcharadons?

[arctic talon]

They would, but they prolly wouldn’t know the carchs are their sucessors

Hell the Carcharadons barely know they’re from ravenguard genestock

[misty brook]

That's great. Not gonna lie. I think the Carcharadons would get along with the Black Dragons. They have the same skin and eye mutations going on.

[crystal forum]

"imperium are the good guys"

Tbh the carchs read more like a chaos warband

I had a dream I was a Ravenguard Space Marine some time ago. When I was listening to a Warhammer40K Audiobook about Orks in my sleep. Like why did I get that dream.

I just thought they'd be smaller pellets

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet

It was a real thing lol

It's just stupid for a lot of other reasons

Like why the hell are you using this heavy-ass ammo when you're just fighting normal humans

More dakka is better especially since there's things like heavy bolters where you want quantity over quality to actually do suppressing fire

[surreal nest]

The bullets literally pop people from the inside that's way more useful than anything else

[radiant lance]

Sure if you want overkill for some reason
We switched from .30 cal full rifle down to intermediate .223 for a reason

More rounds are just much better

[surreal nest]

Hey man I don't know why you are so insistent on applying real life logic to warhammer but it can't be good for you

[radiant lance]

It really isn't

[opaque coyote]

Honestly Rogue One's ending singlehandely made the beginning of A New Hope infinitely funnier

It's the faction they picked

[spring cairn]

where is the piss pouch located on a space marine

[rocky gale]

Same place as yours

[raven stone]

Titans are Ad Mech things. Ad Mech are all about efficiency. Thus, the answer to your question, is either…
(A) the pilot in question is so cyborg they no longer produce waste, or…
(B) a waste recycling system is actually built into the machine itself, which will then be converted to nutrient paste to feed the pilot.

[flat zodiac]

EUGH

I'd pick A any day

[outer wave]

That's basically what space marine suits do anyway

[dense dawn]

Is the success rate of the ultra marines actually the result of the waagh energy or is that just a meme

[raven stone]

That is definitely very a meme

[outer wave]

^

The gestalt psychic field that the orks give off is powerful, but not that powerful nor that long ranged

Its more just oil for the machine thats reality to justify certain things working for the orks without them blowing up in their faces or whatnot

It still allows for some wackiness of course, like the colors being associated with certain attributes

[queen laurel]

ork powers only work on orks

That's one of the clear rules

at most they can make a gun that is a bit broken shoot but after shooting too many times the gun will straight up just not work

that's why their mechanics and doctors are actual mechanics and doctors

The only reason why their doctors seem ridiculous is because their biology is straight up insane

and their meks still need to build stuff

[outer wave]

Their guns can still be basically pieces of metal strapped together that could vaguely work like a gun in theory, right?

[queen laurel]

no their guns are actual guns that have mechanisms and stuff

it's just very much poorly built

fill in the missing parts in the gun will work fine

[outer wave]

Oh I just recall the story of a tech priest taking apart one of the shootas to discover it was just a bunch of bolts and shit screwed inside

[queen laurel]

Probably 1 of meme stories

[outer wave]

Fair enough

[queen laurel]

thank as much as these things look like a bunch of metal tubes just attached with the magazine

It's still a functioning gun with the components required for a gun to function inside one

ork tech is still tech

[outer wave]

Basically its one of those Brazilian homemade guns rather than actual pieces of iron

[queen laurel]

tau even reversed engineered it

[queen laurel]

It's just very much crudely built

it's still actual tech

[outer wave]

Gotcha gotcha

[queen laurel]

like you can do what yarrick did and if you find an ork weapon you fancy and you find an equally heretical tech priest to help you out you can literally just make it work for you

[outer wave]

I wonder how that got cleared

Also imagine the infection cleaning they gotta do around the wound so Yarrick doesnt get shit like Tinnitus

No thats the wrong thing, whats the bacteria that usually resides in rusty metal

[leaden pilot]

Tetanus

[outer wave]

Tetanus!

[queen laurel]

basic maintenance like what the tech priest do

[outer wave]

Thank you

[queen laurel]

just clean it duh

[outer wave]

Its still rusty metal being shoved into the arm

[leaden pilot]

Yeah, tetanus won't stick around that long, and the area where the claw is grafted to is probably long healed

[outer wave]

Fair

[raven stone]

Yarrick probably saved an Ad Mech shrine on Armageddon earlier or something.

Ad Mech is not immune from leverage of favours…

[outer wave]

Also true

[queen laurel]

it's blessed by tech priest and actual priests so

they definitely fixed it up for him

that plus it's an implant so he can just kind of remove it

[raven stone]

And, depending on interpretation, some even say Ad Mech actually do know what they are doing.
Just that they prefer mystical language to describe everything they do.

Due to the religious angle.

[outer wave]

They do it to throw people off

[raven stone]

Pretty much.
That, and when you have the Imperium, where the lowest tech worlds are feral world cave humans…

…a mystical language as an instruction language is actually the most common instructional unifying language

(As a technical writer, looking at Ad Mech at this angle is fascinating)

[outer wave]

Im of the belief most of them are too into the whole 'machine spirit' stuff to really make more scientific analysis but its a fascinating thought point

[raven stone]

My interpretation of Ad Mech is that only the real higher ups of the organisation have remote understanding of what the translated, scientific principles are, but even they are obligated to play the charade and say everything in mystical tongues.
Not least because Ad Mech, as an organisation, has its political power based on its monopoly on knowledge.

The lower ranks are probably as you say - they buy it almost in full.

The mystical language serves Ad Mech’s purposes and the Imperial reality all very well.

As a secret knowledge tongue only the Ad Mech understands, and something with which you can rapidly induct any given tech level of human to know how to use stuff

[outer wave]

Damn its a pretty good theory

[raven stone]

It is what I like about 40k lore. Well, the better written aspects of it.

You could take it on the surface level, but give it some thought and valid, deeper secret alternative interpretations also become valid.

But the best of all, from a meta perspective, is that both the surface and the in depth interpretations are valid.

Because in the massive Imperium, there really are enough people who believe only the surface level stuff

Just as there are likely to be Rogue Traders/Inqusitors/[insert party of knowledge] who figured shit out

[outer wave]

Honestly true! I recall the story of how orks tried to hijack an Imperial Knight and managed to kill the pilot, but then the machine spirit went berserk and decided to self destruction. On the surface from what we know, this is legit: the machine spirit is a thing and probably had some influence of the Imperial Knight's past pilots and House ancestor spirits as well; however, considering that these things were made wayy back in the DAoT and were originally farming tech, could it not have been an AI that decided to blow itself up on realizing what was going on?

I love pieces of media that can do this, and why I think Umineko is peak fiction because it focuses heavily on this kind of meta writing aspect and interpretation

[raven stone]

Yes, media that leaves enough for interpretation but yet manages to keep all interpretations valid is surprisingly peak

[outer wave]

So peak brother

Last time I checked it was star powered

[queen laurel]

Someone who hasn't learned about it?

[shell mason]

to dummy it down yes

[queen laurel]

I did check lex but like it doesn't have any mention of them having a breath weapon even on the rule book

I mean the model does have a fire mold in the mouth

[shell mason]

you take me for someone who spreads misinformation of a domain that he like

s

[queen laurel]

But like it's just seems weird that it doesn't have any mention of them breathing fire hell their war scroll doesn't even give them fire

Just claws and teeth

[rose thorn]

The units spits fire

[queen laurel]

Ok good

It would be weird for this giant dragon looking thing to not have a breath weapon

Y'know I always thought that Dragons could easily be transformed into Eldritch horrors easily

But after the age of Strife, it was lost

And humanity was too busy surviving to make something like a Spreadsheet

Is because anything that could easily be killed by a lasgun

Are already dead

[languid meadow]

well the major threats are

[opaque coyote]

The Imperium basically dug itself in the hole it's in

[languid meadow]

there is still thousands of xeno and non imperium human civs around in the 42M since the galaxy is massive

[opaque coyote]

...that we never hear of

because GW

[languid meadow]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

But yeah the Tau have auxillaries that aren't Kroot or Vespids

[languid meadow]

besides the species we hear of for world building that never get mentioned again

[opaque coyote]

and honestly, they sound awesome

especially for models

[languid meadow]

there are like 12 client species for the tau (this is wrong see below message)

[opaque coyote]

The Vorgh would honestly be an interesting one

[languid meadow]

26 species (excluding tau, humans, kroot, and vespids)

[opaque coyote]

Basically they're so fucking gigantic, that they can go against "super heavy combat walkers"

Knights are in the same category btw

They're so resilient, aggressive, and gigantic that they can fight Knights

But apparently, they are peaceful until they are roused to anger.

So basically, gentle giants until you piss them off

Imagine this creature but with like

Tau Armor

[languid meadow]

GW will never do it but I really want more models of tau auxiliaries

[opaque coyote]

Imagine the Tau creating a "battlesuit" around a Vorgh

Would be an excuse to have a Knight equivalent for Tau

Or even a Titan equivalent since it isn't confirmed how big they are

Like just imagine a Vorgh charging towards a Titan

Fucking doing some wrestling moves

Imagine them Suplexing a Warhound

Imagine the shock of the Imperium as they see their Warhound get fucking rotated
