Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | Horus
I fucking love how it's called
"The Horus Heresy"
He literally consumes the soul of 1000 psykers give or take a few hundred
every day

Oh gosh
yet again adding to his hypocrisy
so the models you can buy are directly about cadia? like do they not exist anymore?
Well more like irony
Laati wtf is that?
Conscious
Why didn't they realize Horus Heresy would betray them? Are they stupid?
what even is this
she picks out new geminae everytime she's reborn and there's 2 "fragments" following her during the revival process called Faith and Duty
You could maybe call him vaguely conscious I think
So he doesn’t even talk or nothing
Just sits on the Golden Throne
But not very much
dude's tired man
he's kind of a mess mentally
Never got a break during the Great Crusade
The Emperors psyche is shattered
so that's them?
Yeah after 10000 years of being stuck in the Least Comfortable Chair in the galaxy
He kinda fractured into multiple consciousnesses.
So he decided to self-KO so he could rest
don't listen to Laati she is very much crazy
Faith and Duty are implied to be Elanor and Genevive yes
like i didnt expect genevieve and fuckface to get any models. they're so minor
but they aren't reborn like Celestine
I can respect that
All he wants to do is chill and get high off of psyker blood every day
But The Emperor is essentially for all intents and purposes a God now
Honkai Star Rail reference
die
So he’s essentially a glorified stoner zombie now
he's a god who doesnt help much
Uh what
unlike the real gods
sounds like my friend from high school
I mean he kinda technically helps ships navigate 

He's a glorified lighthouse
bahaha
Kinda too busy trying to prevent himself from dying
ooooh i can turn on a big flashlight in the warp
I was gonna say that
big woop
*fucking awesome
they're warp manifestations
To be precise
He acts as a reference point in the warp.
Without it, literally no one would know where to go
but they seem to be made up of dead marines(maybe)
A bunch of daemons.
That fight for him.
Uh
Shhh, you'll attract the Minecraft Youtubers
The Emperor is currently trying to literally keep himself to together
and are immortal
and their guns defy the laws of any known science
they make machine spirits freak out
ect.
And failing miserably
Wait so it’s his fault the warp exists
no
No
The Necrons did that(sort of)
Potentially the lost Fire Hawks chapter
no
when they genocided the Old Ones
Necrons fault technically
The sea of souls already existed
the warp has always existed
but it was a lot nicer back then
oh
and then the genocide of the Old Ones made it go to shit
It didn't have daemons nibbling on your brain

and then the birth of slaanesh made it go marginally more to shit
and then the great crusade
Then how were the chaos gods created
made it go marginally more to shit
perhaps it has been a since of treatment to have him reflect on his past actions
enslavers have been around for a while
or whatever they're called
Sapient life has emotions, The Chaos Gods feed on negative emotions
grimdark? 🙀
Sapient psychically-attuned life
Do you think he ever thinks about all the shit he’s done or he just is chill with it
They have and haven't always existed.
It's a weird thing since the Warp treats time as a suggestion.
Mostly yes
We do know the birth point of one Chaos god from large warp entity -> Chaos God
‘Time is just a number’
if you're wondering what the Eldar Empire looked like when it fell
just look at the Dark Eldar
Wait space elves.
Did that.
Would be a decent and painful rethink of your actions time
Maybe
Maybe not
We don't know
I love that both 40k and D&D have magic that works off of belief
yep
they're the remmenents of the Eldar Empire
-john grammaticus
No
Yeah the Space Elves murder fucked a God into existence
But yeah the space elves birthed Slaanesh
"I'm tired" -Also john grammaticus warhammer
Always the elves
Always the elves
Rethinking of his talking with Robert maybe so
That's going in the book
That's why wood elves are superior to Eldar knife ears
breathing too loud goes in the book
Calling him a tool but also his last hope
also Warhammer 40k is just the Warhammer verse 40k years into the future right
no
ah
Warhammer Fantasy Battle is its own
that's a fan theory bullshit
Age of Sigmar is connected to Warhammer Fantasy battle
In WFB early on it was suggested it was, but that was basically proven to be a nope
but then again his son is fucking a pointy ear sooo maybe not
Age of what 
huh
Sugmar
you have much to learn young padawan
the dude the Humans worship in Warhammer Fantasy
Different setting same concept
anyways not that important
but Sigmar is much less evil
WHFB and AoS are much less grimdark in general
I thought I knew a good bit of 40k’s lore
classic mistake
Shut up Jay
What is your favorite faction?
I know like
Lots of little tidbits
Oh, speaking of advancing time and lore... Are we technically in the 42nd millennium now? Does everything need to be updated to say "In the 42nd Millennium there is only war"?
That's where I started tbh
I like the Tau tbh
They seem kinda chill (extremism aside)
I don't know a ton but I expanded on those tidbits
Yes
Minus the whole mind control bit, right?
Yeah
the only people who know most 40k lore are insane (@arctic talon )
And that
And also the death camps
Don't forget that
More so propaganda being shoved down your throat
I thought they were the least extremist faction in the setting tbh
And the fact that to fuck you need to ask the government
Except maybe Eldar? But don't know a lot about either
Half life 2 reference
*Craftworld Eldar
are willing to kill like
billions to save a few of themselves
they just feel kind of sad about it afterwards lol
Hell divers type shit
made me think of the anakin meme
not really a shining example of morality
Eternals kinda mind control the Tau
But I think they need to go into proximity with each other?
IIRC 3rd ed Tau codex (or was it 4th?) implied the Ethereals had an actual biological/chemical control?
Sort of
I fw that heavy
It wasn't just propaganda.
Yeah
the ethreal pheremone stuff is odd
I can't remember which 'dex it was that had the dissection of the ethereal
You make a good point but isn't their afterlife objectively hell?
would be super dumb if they farted mind control
I forgor
They have soul stones
so no
The Drukhari deserve their afterlife being objectively hell
It's hell when their soul stones are cracked 
Oh, lol xd
Yeah I like to think that
The Ethernal pheromones stuff only applies if they get closed.
that's the nanosecond before they get eaten
Are Drukhari a separate race or just Eldar who committed to Slaanesh?
chad shit
And can they like reform
Eldar who decided to take more drugs to stave off Slaanesh
Drukhari are the rememants of the Eldar empire
If I’m being completely honest though I like the Imperium purely because they have ordinary guys killing shit and overcoming what would be quite literally astronomically difficult to kill aliens
they do not worship Slaanesh
eldar souls are TASTY
They just split
they hate slaanesh
The Drukhari are whats left of the Eldar Empire
lol
the craftworld eldar
were a breakaway group who first Tried to stop the fall
Slannesh just laid claim to all their asses in the warp
Ah, this was the Xenology book that was published around the time of IA4.
and then gave up and just focused on doomsday prepping
space amish
and running away
no thats the Exodites
so the necrons are actually asses right
Yes? No?
Yesn't.
There do exist Deldar that have escaped and reformed
But most in the lower echelons of their society will never have the chance.
And most in the upper echelons love being shitheads
the Necrons are assholes yeah
all factions are asses
^
Name me one group in 40k that aren't asses.
Necrons are robots mostly
Jokaero
grimdark
Interex before they all died
Okay yeah I walked into that one, it’s 40k here
Orks
Best monki
They're a quite honest people :^)
Okay he has a point
True!
Unless they were rich enough to get they're personality transfered over as well
I said 40k, not 30k 
alright now do the burny dance
orks are honest at least
They’re actually kinda nice
Yeah I like the orks
also yeah the Necrons are kind of just
assholes
they were assholes as the necrontyr as well
The Watchers
The necrons are salty af assholes
necrons are turbo assholes
they lived in fucking mud huts
There is no Easter bunny
There is no tooth fairy
And there is no god emperor of mankind
in a space faring empire
Their citizens lived in dirt huts.
While they had Star Trek Spaceships
Damnit. Those things are just so cute though.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
genuinely the Necrontyr were assholes
and the Old ones were absolutely justified in saying No
they wanted to kill the old ones because they were JEALOUS
now granted I don't think the Necrontyr
deserved to you know
get turned into souless abominations
and no peace
Because there is no peace
Only
WAR
cue disposal unit playing
but like at least the peasants aren't like sufering anymore I guess
they don't have the brains to worry anymore
what peasants
you mean the T-1000's
mindless
salty af
Well this is rather intriguing
Mhm
I mean yeah
but the Necrons somehow preserved
the memory between the soul and mind
so still no soul
either way the secrets of biotransference are lost forever
The nature of a soul is unclear
there's a gnawing emptiness in Necron minds
Would you rather be an average joe Necrontyr or an average joe Rubric Marine?
Rubric marine
bruh necron shit isn't even science fiction it's magic
What marine
Can't tell
Both are trapped inside their bodies with no memories eternally screaming in pain
its just funny to think of necron and old ones stuff as technology
like even height dark age humanity didnt make a single webway
A majority of the Thousand Sons got turned to dust
It's magical technology
In an attempt to stop their horrifying mutations
Oooh, lets add a third to the mix. Chaos Dreadnought.
Okay definitely not that
Bro got Thanos’d
Okay so we are cooked
into fucking dust
They kinda did though? Empy's man-made webway
he copied old ones
Oh, true
using the golden throne
Post dark-age
which is uh
How the heck do you even begin to corrupt a dreadnought
Hey time is just a suggestion
not human tech
wait no
lmao
Depends
Chaos bullshit right
get them when they're young
its pretty horrid
if you just want a chaos dreadnought
shove a chaos space marine into a dreadnought
Shove a CSM in there and wait 5 minutes as they quickly go insane
find dreadnought is issue
the fact that these are light work for Titus in Space Marine 2 is wild
Has GW officially distinguished helbrutes as something different than a renamed Chaos Dreadnought?
Yes
yeah he has big main character syndrome
Helbrutes are heavily mutated Chaos dreadnoughts
usually made with dreadnought chasis that are considered unsalvagable
or unrepairable
bros plot armor is stronger than the space marines’ armor itself
The upside is that
correct
Helbrutes are uh
much more reusable
Is there a citation on that? Newer 'dex?
dark mechanicum cant even make dreads L
Yeah 8e and 9e codex have it
dark mechanicum sucks so much
Hm
Well
I shall depart
see yall
New dark mech book!
i fucking wish
many excites
bye
wait
good those shit are expensive
Legions Imperialis though
you're joking right
the Book
At once point I had almost every 40k book and 'dex published
Why does this sound like instructions to microwave food
"Step 1, cripple CSM"
when was it announced
Next week is the Warhammer Preview Show: NOVA Open 2024, which will have reveals and roadmaps for some of your favourite games. But before that, we’ve got a Sunday Preview packed with releases – the Martian Civil War begins in the Horus Heresy with a new campaign book and standalone plastic miniatures, while the Warriors of Chaos are poised to b...
FUCK
Civil War for Mars is also a lke
HOLY SHIT
Dark Mechanicum/Mechanicum book
"Step 2 [REDACTED IN THE ORDER OF THE INQUISTION]
The rulebooks have so much lore though, and tbh tend to be more neutrally-written than 'dexes (Looking at you, Matt Ward)
"Step 3 Place crippled CSM into dreadnought chassis"
"Step 4 Wait decades as the daemons slowly eat into their minds and they begin screaming"
wait this is just the mars campaign
"Step 5 enjoy your new Hellbrute"
i thought there was 40k dark mechanicum
Yes, for LI
nah, Legions Imperialis
aka epic
Well, GW's been reusing models between their different scaled games. So dark mech models in LI means they might come out for HH.
crazy
And then there's a miniscule chance we see them in 40k... although not likely
We haven't seen much of the Taghmata stuff in 40k.
Get witchfinder now
I need to know
For....Reasons
And we all know that GW won't publish rules for anything they don't have models for (thanks Chapterhouse)
While my friends grew up on Marvel, I grew up on 40k, Inquisitor, and Epic lol
ah
Tf is Epic
i wish i knew 40k before it cost my life savings
They were watching cartoon network while I binged 40k books and read codices cover-to-cover even if I didn't play those factions
?
think tiny-scaled 40k
i bet kid me would have loved 40k
It would've costed your parents life savings instead

nah not in the 2000's
shit was cheaper like legos
Man, but they used to have shit like blister pack weapons
And you'd be fishing for JUST THAT ONE WEAPON
and none of the blisters in the store had that weapon
And not all of the sprues on the blisters were visible from the outside
affordable titans still costing the same as a leman russ now
sadge
how tf do they justify this shit
"Inflation"
"fuck sweden in particular"
At one point in time, it was "fuck kirby"
What the fuck is this pumpkin I found in Costco
looks tyranid
Did Nurgle fucking infect it wtf
Why does Horus Heresy era have so much cooler stuff than 40k
Niche crowd
some are like that
lots of kinda of pumpkins
Less races too
clearly no rural people in chat
Is it healthy to eat or nah
Heresy has lots of marines, Imperial Army, Mechanicum.. and that's about it
40k has too many factions already
just get a regular pumpkin
looks normal to me
just ugly
Its just really warty
yooo
New warcom blog
regular fruits and vegetables look weird af
but modern industry wastes like 3/4 removing the aesthetically bad ones
Unmodified banana moment
that's not regular
regular is like most strawberries look mutant
because nature is scary
Yeah true
Loads of bumps
Still taste good tho
Just never seen a pumpkin that looked like that
Cause I was born in the city
The problem with The Watchmen (Well, one of the problems) is that the author is also media illiterate.
True
Also I had a funny idea
Imagine a Romance Comedy where Lex is involved with Clark and Superman independently and doesn't know it's the same person
Like he has a genuine romantic relationship with Clark
like starship troopers!
The book maybe, but the guy who made the movie knew exactly what he was doing.
In his own words: "The people who understand the point will forever be tormented by the people who don't."
I strive to be that maliciously self-aware.
Honestly I kinda want to combine the book and the movie
As someone who has read and watched both
Before you edited, my thoughts were: "Wait, read? You mean like, the screen play?"
Lol
But seriously though
The book has some cool shit in it
But the movie is better in my opinion
Because of the parody and sarcastic tone
Hell even the sequel movie isn't bad either
It honestly carries the spirit of the first film
Basically in the sequel movie, one of the protagonists was a veteran about to be executed
The sequel movie was definitely a movie of all time
I think his last words were like
"Murderers don't go home"
So what did the Federation do?
Call him a hero despite literally sending him to execution
Completely change his last words
Basically took all the things I liked about the first movie, threw it in the trash and then made a teenager slasher flick
With super heavy satire. In case the first movie was too subtle for you
The heavy handed satire was pretty fucking funny
But yeah the 2nd movie is worse than the 1st objectively
Still entertaining though
Oh definitely
Dax was a Chad
Be sure to grow up fast, we need more meat for the grinder, says the guy dressed suspiciously similarly to an SS officer with a genuine smile while the mother literally clutches at pearls.
Actually she might have clutcched at her baby. Whatever.
She immediately runs away too
And his last words are completely butchered
The show Barry did it better.
I guess having somebody who murdered their commanding officer for sending too many people to die isn't good for propaganda

Oh yeah also I think it's the lady who Dax actually saved
So she actually knew his last words and everything

Which is infinitely funnier
I honestly can't remember, I checked out somewhere around the time all the bug people started seducing everyone else.
Oh yeah also fun fact
The reason why the made the Pulse/Laser Guns semi auto
Was because making them full auto actually hurt people's eyes
Apparently having a bunch of bright lights flashing in a dark environment might be dangerous
Like- the actors?
Honestly, it wouldn't have surprised me if that was in-universe too.
Lmao
That's my new headcanon for why a lot of Lasguns are shown to be semi auto
Caused too many seizures

Oh yeah also obligatory
Every Federal Network scene in Starship Troopers. Would you like to know more? #starshiptroopers #neilpatrickharris
Most enjoyable part of the film tbh
Oh wow, this proton-proton chain reaction creating fusion barely contained less than a foot from my head sure is bright.
Better make it semi-auto instead of waering welding goggles because that'll get in the way of our post-victory photo ops.
Oh yeah also the most entertaining part of the movie was that
They censored the cow death
But not the human ones
The cow was treated with more respect than the humans

Whoever came up with the idea for in universe propaganda reels was truly inspired.
I would pay for Warhammer plus if they made an episode of Tithes was purely like
In-universe Imperium propaganda
You'd think that interrupting the story to exposite directly at the audience about how awful the society is would be jarring and unimersive, but they somehow made it the best part of the movie
Writing wise it gives a view into the wider fucked up galaxy the movie takes place in
World building
It also shows the culture
Casual movie watcher wise
It is massively entertaining
I do love how the tv program cut and the reporter crew on Klendathu became a staple of the setting
That camera guy was super dedicated to his job.
Gotta get that killer angle on his buddy getting impaled
No wonder nobody ever dies to blaster fire in Star Wars
everyone's fucking blinded by the lights

I assume that stormtrooper helmets work a bit like welding goggles, meaning that normally they can barely see anything which is why their aim is so bad.
One time I saw someone do a xray on how the Stormtrooper helmets fit on the head
the eye slots don't even line up with the eyes
Ok granted this is a meme but it looks legit
Source: trust me compadre 
Storm trooper helmets actually have cameras in the lenses and the outside image is projected holographically inside the helmet
It's all electronics in there
That makes sense, so I hate it
I forgot but wasn't it that each individual helmet is registered to its designated TK trooper? And that was the reason why Luke says "I can't see a thing in this helmet."
because the heads up display wasn't working for him properly?
I don't know I've never seen a star wars movie
Is true
I only know star wars from a combat engineering perspective
Don't know anything about the plot or individuals in the universe
So I'd know how most of the equipment works in a general sense but not if it's mass produced or made to order for an individual
Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader and he's Luke's dad and also Leia's dad, but I only know the latter because Luke kisses his sister and I think it's wild how chill we are about that
This is my entire knowledge of Star Wars plot
Ngl this looks neat
But wouldn't it be hell to mass-produce for a conscript army
Would make sense if it was still the Clone Army methinks
to be fair
I assume clone armor while being better was actually easier to produce
Stormtroopers can have that since they're not the main fighting force of the empire
Naturally
When 1 size fits all works on a millionth scale 
Stormtroopers are a downgrade from clones but they aren't (all) conscripts
They're the marines of the empire (the real life version)
They're well trained volunteers mostly
The conscripts are the imperial army
Which are also volunteers but there they do conscript
Stormtroopers have to be selected to become one
Stormtroopers are about like tempestus scions in 40k. (What do you mean they're both called "Imperial Stormtroopers"? That's so uncreative?)
Aren't stormtroopers the rank and file soldiers in SW
No
Nah more like Marines
Like what else is below sgormtroopers?
They're closer to our real life marines
Not the SM type
Wait SW has Marines?
How has this not shown up in any movie ever
Mf
The Stormtroopers are the marines
Stormtroopers ARE the marines
They're stationed on ships and bases and are used like how the US uses marines
Stormtroopers are the Empires soldiers you don't want to meet
The empire have an army, they're called the imperial army
That's why they're always everywhere with important people
The fact that stormtroopers aren't very threatening has more to do with star wars being kind of bad than what they're meant to be
These are mimbann mud troopers
Ahhh
Ok now everything makes sense
To be fair, they did actually intentionally miss while they were chasing Luke
They were literally ordered to miss by Vader
No wonder stormtroopers feel like low rank soldiers
they never fucking win at ANYTHING
At least the regular Guardsman gets the odd W here and there I guess
That's why andor is peak
I should really get around to watching Andor fr fr
The only time stormtroopers really show up is when shit gets bad
To be fair, the protagonists are often
Space Wizards
With the ability to literally manipulate your brain
With Telekinesis
etc.
Or people with armor that can resist lightsabers
Usually the average Rebel is outmatched
I'm still in awe of how terrifying the implications of The Locked Tomb's necromancers on the battlefield and how actual combat is never a factor in that book despite being in a militaristic space empire
When they get shown in most shows and movies they're outclassed
With comics being better for them
plot-armored Space Wizards
Their Clone counterparts did the Order 66 so they shoulda been able to like get a W once every 10 decades or smth 
Also makes Leia much more based tbh
Wait that reminds me
Speaking of armor and such...
How effective is the regular Guardsman's armor?
I think it depends
Flak is actually durable and better than Kevlar in lore
So in practice, they might as well be fucking naked
Sure it means jack shit against Necrons or Tau or Nids
But against cults and gangs with small arms, how well does it fare?
Like against a normal xenos civ and not one of the big ones, probably pretty well
Actually pretty well
So the Sisters Penitent got the right idea 
No armor means light on your feet. Smart.
~ Skyrim Guard
The average guardsman would be a well-equipped elite in almost any sci fi universe, but in 40k they're basically useless except in large numbers.
Honestly, they probably do. If you're up against like Necrons or Chaos or something
you might as well be as light on your feet as possible
The Pentient Engine is fucking stupid though
Like I get the idea
Don't underestimate chaos cults
But I think it's a bit too stupid even for the Imperium
Like the pilot is RIGHT THERE
In front of the enemy
They can easily just
blam
Depending on what mutations they get and if they have a sorceror, a chaos cult can easily wipe out a regiment or two
Ofc
What I mean is the average gun-wielding cultist and the like
Obviously if someone decides to mutate or summon a Daemon you're beyond sixty shades of fucked
Honestly think it would make more sense if the Pentient Engine was like
A robot with a rudimentary AI (don't tell the mechanicus)
and the "offender" is just attached to them
Instead of needing the offender to have it actually work
Tbh if the pilot was encased in a coffin it'd be better
Like Dreadnoughts, but more mini 
Yeah I think there's a version of the pentient engine where it is
They're basically encased in a coffin of spikes
Tho I can see why it would look like the Penitent is revered instead of being punished
very painful
it's honestly the version I prefer
Instead of having the pentient user in the open
Because it actually requires somebody to pilot it
and the pilot is in the open
with their entire body exposed
So you can just
shoot them
I see it like the Butcher's Nails Lite no
The pain inflicted on the offender's psyche is what makes them raving mad and become akin to a berserker
and the mech is literally useless
Does the Imperial faith include any kind of belief of an after life? Heaven/Hell?
You go to the Emperor if you're pious
He saves your soul
If you don't
well it's kinda fucking obvious judging from the daemons
and the warp
As for what actually happens
It's a fucking lottery
We don't really know either
not really, it depends
Just like real life
IK, he's asking about the Imperial faith
a lot of people just have their souls eaten immediately by daemons
ah, then by their religion yes, they go to the emperors throne
Psykers do, but in general you just sort of
disappear
Is there any further detail to it? Is afterlife a Valhalla type thing for warriors, Spacemarines etc.?
A drop of water in an endless ocean
to an extent, psykers are the most notable but even normal humans will often get eaten
True
The Emperor does take souls. Mostly those that are useful
I like to think he tries to save as many as possible
But it's unknown
and tbf, he's a dick.
So he might not lo
I don't think there's much detail
Especially since each planet worships the Emperor differently
Like some believe he's a Sun God
Others a warrior god
Who isn’t in 40k
etc. etc.

So it depends on what planet you're born in
There are basically
possibly millions of variations on the imperial faith
The only commonality being
The Emperor is the one true god
Yeah for regular humans
Lasts like a second
You get eaten
You feel pain
And then oblivion
For psykers
Takes a while
depends on the psyker
some extremely rare, powerful psykers are able to create a kind of afterlife for themselves
where it’s more of a purgatory instead of hell
Huh? Didnt you just say he tries to save as many as possible lol
I see
We don't know
It's more my headcanon tbh
It could be that he saves as many people as possible
Or he only picks the important ones and leaves the rest to suffer

Iron warriors call artillery bombardments on their own guys just to catch the enemy off guard. A few dead word bearers is probably considered a bonus to them.
Is gw actually moving away from the more "grimdark" aspects of 40k?
Because if so I think it a good call on their end
(Don't trust anything I say after 1am)
The Emperor doesnt save anyone, he only handpicks individuals among billions who might be worth something like Living Saints
Thats more just a conspiracy people say from not reading books, theres plenty of dark stuff constantly in 40k media.
Absolutely not lol
If anything GW has had a lot more fun with more fucked up stuff recently
lol
Like what the Red Corsairs did to Jubal Khan

Same people that say Warhammer is becoming woke
^ lol
becoming
Those people are definitely something
they are the type to think warhammer should cater to them and only them
and they genuinely probably again do not read books
I say this is a guy that don't read much of warhammer but like you can at least try to still Fact Check your things
i suggest reading Lexicanum for lore
Wiki is just completely copy and pasting
There are times where we have something that the Lexi doesn't but it's very rare for that to happen
Why are there two separate wikis?
Is it just the plagiarism thing?
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page I don't know the answer to that but this website is trusted by people here a lot more and i agree with
== The Community Created Warhammer 40,000 Encyclopedia ==
Lexicanum is a fan-made encyclopedia based on the successful online database Wikipedia and is about the fictional setting in which the tabletop game Warhammer 40,000 and other games produced by Games Workshop and its subsidiaries and license holders. Each of you has the possibility to t...
they research and explain things in a more concise way without basically copy pasting every single source they see
There are times where info on the wiki is a lot more useful but you know again I say this is very rare
It also isn't fandom
yeah these guys copy and paste a lot
very rarely do they try to explain things on their own words, they copy and paste everything in the books and then
The James somoriton of wiki pages
that's it
Fandom is so bad Ngl. It used to be somewhat decent and now it’s barely functioning on mobile either ads covering half you screen and on pc it’s just worse than a basic google search. And the communities around it suck too.
They should probably just make their own setting then
i agree i only use fandom when it's not for warhammer
i stick to lexicanum for warhammer lore
My general advice to anyone. Regardless of anything. Is that if you don't like the direction something is going in. That's your que to open a document and start writing
I say this sincerely
It doesn't matter why
I believe we call them black templar purists
I legit cannot get over how 95% of black templar fans are some form of fascist or racist
its legit tiring how its always true
ive never seen a stereotype be this solid 💀
Are marines malevolent stans actually worse?
Never battled a black Templar player on tabletop cuz my local game stores are mostly orks and guard. Are they actually crazy?
Yes
Online anyway
Yes. I was helping out a friend only who was getting constant "jokey" grape threats from a shitposter 40k dude and i go to his account
I love the Black Templars and I stay away from most people who like them 
and what do i fucking see?
"look at my black templar army guys, its almost done!"

Nah, they're dastardly, but not that bad in comparison
Brother Templar Eli you are seeing this i am so sorry
its like chaos marine fans
"Yeah our faction kills and slaughters innocent people and we LOVE IT"
"B-bb-but femstodes are wrong and look ugly and woke evil , tourist gw made it all up because ill only accept mega boobystodes"
Ngl those ppl need to be playing bolt action Germans so they can cosplay as their leader units
Oh. So I'm safe then?
- average BT player
And their fans love them for what they are.
BT love theirs cause they are what they want to be
Yaaay
It's a common consensus in the warhammer community that if you like an evil faction you just like them to have because you like fun
My stance is you can like any faction in 40k, just dont try to defend them as being "good guys". Some moral gymnastics is fine unless the subject itself is legit ridiculous
of course there is also you know people in there but every single faction has one
Don't forget the krieg players, that're almost always only running them AND BT
You'd have to miss the point entirely to do that
Many seem to
when people say orks are good guys i gain a sudden ability to tear apart steel
My brother argued eldar are the good guys for like 15 minutes straight with me the other day
Something Something Satire is dying because people are too stupid to get it Something Something
Eldar are prob the most morally understandable faction but they still do pretty evil stuff, its more to defend their people more than genocide half the time.
no one is innocent
What do you mean, my blue boys are perfect saints who only use mind control on the populace to make anime mechs even cooler to their populace, @storm jungle -san
LMFAO
No like prime eldar. The ones who’s excessively wild things caused a whole add chaos god.
OH LMFAO
Some just make more interesting protagonists than others
Bro even current Eldar say their death was good riddance 💀
they are also so arrogant that they think that they are almost always right
I mean yes you guys can read the future but that doesn't stop you from getting your head kicked in now doesn't it
But craftworlders are Amish cranked to 11 you can't trust them
You can't trust anyone tbf
Truly the Eldar empire was peak good with the whole hedonism thing
And killing and that
Jokaero? They just vibing
He also huffs the “isha comes back and eldar get a good book series” copium eldar players have.
To be fair that is more understandable 
Eldar fans have been getting shafted for 30 years
Me when the race who created a whole chaos god through unspeakable acts of depravity are somehow "the good guys" in a setting fulled with nothing but unhinged lunatics of different varieties
I started as an Eldar fan and gave up 
Well yall shouldn't have lost the mantle of responsibility... oops wrong scifi series
Do they do anything besides make weapons?
Yeah. They get like 4 books and they lose in all of them. With one book having the death watch stroll up and pull a funni
They basically chill and invent
like, invent anything
they are literally here for the vibes
Remember that one C.S. Goto book where children destroy an Eldar vehicle with sticks and rocks
I will say this and I will say it again until I die GW has a weird psychosexual need to slam dunk them for some reason
The 3 times they come close to doing something a random faction comes in and completely ruins it. It’s just martial law at this point.
They can make quite nearly anything, I'm pretty surprised cawl doesn't just throw them at problems like pokeballs
They hate elf's
Which is understandable
I also hate elf's
shut up lol
The first "---- of mars" book, a chaplain solos the avatar of khaine, I believe
/s or /srs?
you say that but in aos they get respected
in warhammer
40k
The tabletop gets shafted too for eldar. The corsair model’s have the wrong leader (their tabletop leader isn’t their phoenix lord but just some random guy.)
they get shafted harder than a bully throws someone in a locker
The 40k writers hate elf's
Again
Completely understandable
don't worry because the dwarves as well are getting a piece of that gav thorpe pie
Just checked mutual servers and checks out. A fellow dwarf from hoxxes.
Karl drg?
yep their first book is gonna be made by him
ROCK AND STONE
you better shut the fuck up before i fry your ass and make fish fillet
Their cooked the death watch are boutta wipe out the votann’s heart machine things
So your actually mad at me then? Ok
I assume that's a bad thing?
Gav made the Ynnari series
Very bad
Like he is the second coming of Matt ward
the plotline that you know went nowhere
Legit went backwards
Look I'm gonna be honest. I don't care
If you like votann he will make you not like them.
I do and I can't read
I’ve a book that can help with that
How is a gif of an ogryn stabbing someone in the balls me being mad at you 💀
The London hello
You didn't answer the question. And I assumed you where being passive aggressive about it
Which cleaver is ur fav I like the big one
i mean aiming for the balls in the male language is the equivalent of agreeing with chaos in the imperium
What is it
I regret to inform you I'm not a man
Well Thorpe's dwarf novels in fantasy aren't that bad
Well yeah im at work 
I’m on break
I mean making personalities for people that literally eat rock hard bread isn't hard
So I’m just here to make fun of people
I’m on fall break and super depressed
Looking at the lexicanum I swear most of this lore stuff wasn't around Dawn of War 1 times, Cawl needs a jokaero farm
That would be very difficult logistic wise
I'm in-between jobs and in constant pain
I’ve 5 more minutes of mockery before I got to get back to work
Like we have cow farms cause they are easy to herd, Jokaero are much more astute than we are
they can probably disassemble the walls in like 5 minutes tops
10 if we put extra effort in
Bribe them with bananas or whatever, entire worlds of suffering would be dedicated to it so it's grimdark
It’s the great philosophical question, could a Jokaero build a farm so well that a Jokaero couldn’t escape it
what the kark do you think they are a donkey kong?
We can build buildings so well that a us couldn’t escape it
Not just disassemble it, but use it to make a space ship and leave you in the dust
Probably they know themselves best
I could
Given time the Jokaero would be able to escape
It would only delay the inevitable
A constant arms race of Jokaero trying to escape while another team of Jokaero are constantly upgrading the defences
Depends on how sapient they are, I'd just like to see them throw a monkey wrench into Mechanicus plans or society
To be fr I'm probably just gonna ignore that it exists
Excuse me
the correct term is Orangutan
Old ones visited Earth, orangutans look like jokarro and eldar look a bit like humans. Coincidence?
Fun fact
My sincerest cenapologies
Eldar are actually Gav's favorite race apparently
So maybe he would write the dwarves well
🧢🧢🧢
In a sort of weird
Logic
He enjoys writing a race so he makes them suffer
So if he doesn't enjoy writing another race
Maaaybe they will be treated well!
Thrope lying out his throatpe
It's like how fanfic writers are like
He collects them so he can throw games at tournaments and lower their win rate
'Oh man I love these characters!"
"Welp time to write them getting unreversable trauma"
when it comes to action tho he sucks ass because the message is "they are a dying race"
he was doing this shit in Warhammer Fantasy too
Kinda makes sense
Even though just because they're dying
Doesn't mean they're incompetent
I unironically want to see a 40k end times at some point
I know it's never happening
But I'm allowed to dream right?
FLAY THINESELF HERETIC!!!
I remember a fanfic where essentially something like that happens
It ends with the last human
With a bunch of embyros hovering over a recovered Terra
Basically thinking about whether he should reseed the Earth
Or if he just...
Let it all go
I mean, if it's to have an AoS quality of model and faction getting equal attention...
It is
Sounds like a weird fetish
Send it
immediately assumes it's a sex thing
this put replace Kojima with Gamesworkshop
Ofd
Just a crumb of a w and not playing second fiddle to the Imperium for the Eldar I beg
Bruh reseeding the earth is a sex thing how tf u think we make more people?
Odd for you to assume the author wrote that with one hand
Maybe that's just a you thing
Cuz I know some writers are weird asf. After a certain point you just immediately assume the worst of writers.
Especially considering it's based of someone else description of it
(It’s a me thing 100%)
S n e e d
Don't like? Don't read!
Like the Lorax?
Formerly chucks
I must read. I have an urge to read All words presented before my eyes that I can read.
I should get to work on my homebrew chapter
