Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | Horus

#

I fucking love how it's called

#

"The Horus Heresy"

arctic talon
#

He literally consumes the soul of 1000 psykers give or take a few hundred

#

every day

opaque coyote
normal notch
#

yet again adding to his hypocrisy

crystal forum
#

so the models you can buy are directly about cadia? like do they not exist anymore?

normal notch
#

Well more like irony

opaque coyote
#

Or

shell mason
#

Laati wtf is that?

opaque coyote
#

Conscious

young pecan
normal notch
#

that’s…
Interesting

normal stream
arctic talon
young pecan
#

You could maybe call him vaguely conscious I think

normal notch
#

So he doesn’t even talk or nothing
Just sits on the Golden Throne

young pecan
#

But not very much

arctic talon
#

He does send visions

#

sometimes

arctic talon
#

he's kind of a mess mentally

normal stream
#

Never got a break during the Great Crusade

arctic talon
#

The Emperors psyche is shattered

opaque coyote
# normal notch Oh Hm

Yeah after 10000 years of being stuck in the Least Comfortable Chair in the galaxy

He kinda fractured into multiple consciousnesses.

normal stream
#

So he decided to self-KO so he could rest

shell mason
#

don't listen to Laati she is very much crazy

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

like i didnt expect genevieve and fuckface to get any models. they're so minor

arctic talon
#

but they aren't reborn like Celestine

normal notch
normal stream
#

All he wants to do is chill and get high off of psyker blood every day

arctic talon
#

But The Emperor is essentially for all intents and purposes a God now

opaque coyote
shell mason
#

die

normal notch
#

So he’s essentially a glorified stoner zombie now

arctic talon
#

hell he's even got daemons

#

sort of

crystal forum
#

he's a god who doesnt help much

normal notch
crystal forum

unlike the real gods

The Legion of the damned are

#

odd

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

they're warp manifestations

opaque coyote
# normal notch bahaha

To be precise

He acts as a reference point in the warp.

Without it, literally no one would know where to go

arctic talon
#

but they seem to be made up of dead marines(maybe)

normal notch
#

Uh

arctic talon
#

or at least imitations of them

#

and yes they get banished to the warp

young pecan
shell mason
#

The Emperor is currently trying to literally keep himself to together

arctic talon
#

and are immortal

#

and their guns defy the laws of any known science

#

they make machine spirits freak out

#

ect.

opaque coyote

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

The Necrons did that(sort of)

normal stream
crystal forum
arctic talon
#

when they genocided the Old Ones

opaque coyote
#

Necrons fault technically

arctic talon
#

The sea of souls already existed

crystal forum
#

the warp has always existed

arctic talon
#

but it was a lot nicer back then

normal notch
#

oh

arctic talon
#

and then the genocide of the Old Ones made it go to shit

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

and then the birth of slaanesh made it go marginally more to shit

#

and then the great crusade

normal notch
#

Then how were the chaos gods created

arctic talon
#

made it go marginally more to shit

shell mason
#

perhaps it has been a since of treatment to have him reflect on his past actions

crystal forum
#

or whatever they're called

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

the war in heaven was when they went from tiny warp entities

#

to big ones

normal stream
normal notch
arctic talon
#

I think he's just mentally done

#

ngl

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

We do know the birth point of one Chaos god from large warp entity -> Chaos God

arctic talon
#

the Eldar Empire gave birth to Slaanesh

#

during The Fall

normal stream
#

"Time is just a vibe"

#

"We can go back if we wanted to"

arctic talon
#

if you're wondering what the Eldar Empire looked like when it fell

#

just look at the Dark Eldar

normal notch
shell mason
#

Would be a decent and painful rethink of your actions time

young pecan
#

I love that both 40k and D&D have magic that works off of belief

normal stream
arctic talon
#

they're the remmenents of the Eldar Empire

crystal forum
shell mason
#

No

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But yeah the space elves birthed Slaanesh

normal stream
young pecan
#

Always the elves

opaque coyote
#

Always the elves

arctic talon
#

They didn't do that in WHFB

#

smh

shell mason
#

Rethinking of his talking with Robert maybe so

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

That's why wood elves are superior to Eldar knife ears

arctic talon
#

breathing too loud goes in the book

shell mason
#

Calling him a tool but also his last hope

normal notch
#

also Warhammer 40k is just the Warhammer verse 40k years into the future right

arctic talon
#

No

#

Warhammer 40k is its own setting

normal notch
#

ah

arctic talon
#

Warhammer Fantasy Battle is its own

crystal forum
#

that's a fan theory bullshit

arctic talon
#

Age of Sigmar is connected to Warhammer Fantasy battle

normal stream
#

In WFB early on it was suggested it was, but that was basically proven to be a nope

shell mason
#

but then again his son is fucking a pointy ear sooo maybe not

normal notch
crystal forum
#

huh

young pecan
#

Sugmar

arctic talon
#

Its another game system/setting

#

Age of Sigmar

crystal forum
#

you have much to learn young padawan

arctic talon
#

the dude the Humans worship in Warhammer Fantasy

shell mason
arctic talon
#

anyways not that important

#

but Sigmar is much less evil

#

WHFB and AoS are much less grimdark in general

normal notch
crystal forum
#

classic mistake

shell mason
#

Shut up Jay

young pecan
normal notch
#

I know like
Lots of little tidbits

normal stream
#

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"?

young pecan
normal notch
young pecan
#

I don't know a ton but I expanded on those tidbits

normal stream
crystal forum
#

the only people who know most 40k lore are insane (@arctic talon )

normal notch
opaque coyote
#

Don't forget that

arctic talon
young pecan
opaque coyote
#

And the fact that to fuck you need to ask the government

arctic talon
#

which I guess

#

is mind control

young pecan
#

Except maybe Eldar? But don't know a lot about either

arctic talon
#

and yeah the Tau are the least extreme faction

#

The Eldar

normal notch
arctic talon
#

*Craftworld Eldar

#

are willing to kill like

#

billions to save a few of themselves

#

they just feel kind of sad about it afterwards lol

shell mason
crystal forum
arctic talon
#

not really a shining example of morality

opaque coyote
normal stream
arctic talon
#

Sort of

shell mason
#

I fw that heavy

normal stream
#

It wasn't just propaganda.

arctic talon
#

its unclear for Ethreals like

#

phereomone stuff

normal stream
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

the ethreal pheremone stuff is odd

normal stream
#

I can't remember which 'dex it was that had the dissection of the ethereal

young pecan
crystal forum
#

would be super dumb if they farted mind control

young pecan
#

I forgor

arctic talon
#

so no

#

The Drukhari deserve their afterlife being objectively hell

normal stream
young pecan
#

Oh, lol xd

arctic talon
#

they caused the fall

#

and then decided

#

to fucking double down lol

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I like to think that

The Ethernal pheromones stuff only applies if they get closed.

crystal forum
young pecan
#

Are Drukhari a separate race or just Eldar who committed to Slaanesh?

shell mason
#

chad shit

young pecan
#

And can they like reform

opaque coyote
arctic talon
normal notch
#

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

arctic talon
#

they do not worship Slaanesh

crystal forum
#

eldar souls are TASTY

shell mason
#

They just split

arctic talon
#

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

shell mason
#

Slannesh just laid claim to all their asses in the warp

normal stream
arctic talon
#

and then gave up and just focused on doomsday prepping

crystal forum
#

space amish

arctic talon
#

and running away

arctic talon
normal notch
#

so the necrons are actually asses right

opaque coyote
# young pecan And can they like reform

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 salty af assholes

arctic talon

they had a ton of slaves

and treated their pesants like shit

they'll wipe away a species just to give themselves skin

#

they do not care

arctic talon
#

genuinely the Necrontyr were assholes

#

and the Old ones were absolutely justified in saying No

crystal forum
#

they wanted to kill the old ones because they were JEALOUS

arctic talon
#

now granted I don't think the Necrontyr

#

deserved to you know

#

get turned into souless abominations

normal notch
arctic talon
#

but like at least the peasants aren't like sufering anymore I guess

#

they don't have the brains to worry anymore

crystal forum
#

what peasants

arctic talon
#

until they suddenly suffer from the Dysphorek

#

in which that case

crystal forum
#

you mean the T-1000's

arctic talon

Yeah

#

The Warriors

#

aren't really warriors lol

crystal forum
#

mindless

arctic talon
#

their minds are locked away

#

not so much as mindless

normal notch
#

Well this is rather intriguing

crystal forum
#

i thought they lost their souls

shell mason
#

Mhm

arctic talon
#

I mean yeah

#

but the Necrons somehow preserved

#

the memory between the soul and mind

crystal forum
#

so still no soul

arctic talon
#

either way the secrets of biotransference are lost forever

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

there's a gnawing emptiness in Necron minds

normal stream

Would you rather be an average joe Necrontyr or an average joe Rubric Marine?

arctic talon

Rubric marine

crystal forum

yes

its pretty horrid

if you just want a chaos dreadnought

Helbrutes also need some other stuff

and changes made

the fact that these are light work for Titus in Space Marine 2 is wild

I wouldn't say Light work

tbf

#

lol

normal stream
arctic talon
#

Yes

crystal forum
#

yeah he has big main character syndrome

arctic talon

Helbrutes are heavily mutated Chaos dreadnoughts

usually made with dreadnought chasis that are considered unsalvagable

#

or unrepairable

normal notch
#

bros plot armor is stronger than the space marines’ armor itself

no offense

but who fk cares about imperialis

normal stream
#

Well, GW's been reusing models between their different scaled games. So dark mech models in LI means they might come out for HH.

normal stream
#

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.

shell mason

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)

The problem with The Watchmen (Well, one of the problems) is that the author is also media illiterate.

opaque coyote

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

But he hates Superman

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.

opaque coyote

As someone who has read and watched both

paper haven
#

Before you edited, my thoughts were: "Wait, read? You mean like, the screen play?"

opaque coyote
#

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

opaque coyote
paper haven
#

The sequel movie was definitely a movie of all time

opaque coyote
#

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

paper haven
#

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

opaque coyote
#

But yeah the 2nd movie is worse than the 1st objectively

#

Still entertaining though

paper haven
#

Oh definitely

opaque coyote

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.

opaque coyote
#

And his last words are completely butchered

paper haven
#

The show Barry did it better.

opaque coyote
#

I guess having somebody who murdered their commanding officer for sending too many people to die isn't good for propaganda

opaque coyote
#

So she actually knew his last words and everything

#

Which is infinitely funnier

paper haven
opaque coyote
#

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

paper haven
#

Like- the actors?

opaque coyote
#

Ye

#

Well the screening but yeah

paper haven
#

Honestly, it wouldn't have surprised me if that was in-universe too.

opaque coyote
#

Lmao

opaque coyote
#

Caused too many seizures

#

Oh yeah also obligatory

#

Most enjoyable part of the film tbh

paper haven
#

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.

opaque coyote
#

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

paper haven
#

Whoever came up with the idea for in universe propaganda reels was truly inspired.

opaque coyote
#

In-universe Imperium propaganda

paper haven
#

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

It also shows the culture

Casual movie watcher wise

It is massively entertaining

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

It's all electronics in there

That makes sense, so I hate it

crisp heath
#

That's a canon inside picture of a storm trooper helmet

winter vessel
# crisp heath

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?

crisp heath
#

I don't know I've never seen a star wars movie

winter vessel
crisp heath
#

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

lapis verge
# crisp heath

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

languid meadow
#

I assume clone armor while being better was actually easier to produce

opaque coyote
#

he did not know that

#

lmao

languid meadow
#

Stormtroopers can have that since they're not the main fighting force of the empire

lapis verge
crisp heath
#

Stormtroopers are a downgrade from clones but they aren't (all) conscripts

languid meadow
#

They're the marines of the empire (the real life version)

crisp heath
#

They're well trained volunteers mostly

languid meadow
#

The conscripts are the imperial army

#

Which are also volunteers but there they do conscript

#

Stormtroopers have to be selected to become one

crisp heath
#

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

Like what else is below sgormtroopers?

opaque coyote

Like

actual Marines

languid meadow
#

They're closer to our real life marines

opaque coyote

Not the SM type

languid meadow
#

The empire has an army and navy

#

With stormtroopers being a part of the navy

Wait SW has Marines?

How has this not shown up in any movie ever

crisp heath
languid meadow
#

Stormtroopers ARE the marines

lapis verge
#

Huh

#

I am confusion

languid meadow
#

They're stationed on ships and bases and are used like how the US uses marines

crisp heath
#

Stormtroopers are the Empires soldiers you don't want to meet

opaque coyote
#

Stormtroopers are supposed to be elite

#

...

languid meadow
#

The empire have an army, they're called the imperial army

crisp heath
#

That's why they're always everywhere with important people

opaque coyote
#

Here is how the Imperial army looks apparently

crisp heath
#

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

They were literally ordered to miss by Vader

Which are also on mimbann

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

The only time stormtroopers really show up is when shit gets bad

Space Wizards

With the ability to literally manipulate your brain

With Telekinesis

Or people with armor that can resist lightsabers

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

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 KEKW_ogryn

Wait that reminds me

Speaking of armor and such...
How effective is the regular Guardsman's armor?

languid meadow
#

I think it depends

opaque coyote
#

So in practice, they might as well be fucking naked

lapis verge
#

Sure it means jack shit against Necrons or Tau or Nids

But against cults and gangs with small arms, how well does it fare?

languid meadow
#

Like against a normal xenos civ and not one of the big ones, probably pretty well

No armor means light on your feet. Smart.

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.

opaque coyote
#

you might as well be as light on your feet as possible

#

The Pentient Engine is fucking stupid though

#

Like I get the idea

crisp heath
opaque coyote
#

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

opaque coyote
#

And the mech is fucking useless

#

Cause the "pilot" is dead

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

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

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

They're basically encased in a coffin of spikes

lapis verge
#

Tho I can see why it would look like the Penitent is revered instead of being punished

opaque coyote
#

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

and the mech is literally useless

Does the Imperial faith include any kind of belief of an after life? Heaven/Hell?

opaque coyote
#

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

Just like real life

a lot of people just have their souls eaten immediately by daemons

True

dense lynx

tau just disappear though

#

as they have minimal warp presence

opaque coyote
#

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

opaque coyote
#

Especially since each planet worships the Emperor differently

#

Like some believe he's a Sun God

#

Others a warrior god

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

etc. etc.

jade holly

#

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

opaque coyote
#

Lasts like a second

#

You get eaten

#

You feel pain

#

And then oblivion

#

For psykers

#

Takes a while

dense lynx
#

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

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.

The only thing I really read is wiki articles

There are times where we have something that the Lexi doesn't but it's very rare for that to happen

Is it just the plagiarism thing?

queen laurel
# vast crystal Why are there two separate wikis?

There are times where info on the wiki is a lot more useful but you know again I say this is very rare

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.

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
