Believe it or not

#

The vast majority of the fanbase engages with the setting on a very basic level

outer wave
#

You know, I think 40k's theme of blind faith is much cooler considering how every faction puts zealous faith into shit they dont understand

normal stream
outer wave
#

Well, GSCs

storm jungle
#

then we get people IRL attacking 3G towers for "spreading covid"

#

THIS ISNT A NURGLE COMMS-PLEX

outer wave
#

PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT THAT THEME!?

storm jungle
#

YES

outer wave
#

Ive actually never heard that wow

storm jungle
#

There was people that got upset that some vox-operators who recieve a ultra-giga-secret code were turned into servitors afterwards

#

and im like... why are you expecting literal space nazis to make sensible decisions?

#

its a clear example of "nooo good guys should not be this dumb!"

gray umbra
#

Some people hate the ideas of servitors

#

And its really morbid

#

But goddamn arcoflagellants are cool

storm jungle
#

Idk man being a servitor is not that much different from being alive IRL

queen laurel
storm jungle
storm jungle
#

made me laugh like a psychopath

queen laurel

"omg why would they shoot this child"

outer wave

#

im glad we dont have such institutions IRL

queen laurel
# storm jungle THAT was great

yeah then on the second series they literally came to collect ammunition from the already depleted forces of the planet only for that ammunition to be said you know what it's gonna be too heavy get rid of it

outer wave
#

Hahaha

storm jungle
#

GETOU-

outer wave
#

They're so dumb

#

Its funny but god

storm jungle
#

I love it.

shell mason
#

storm jungle
#

because children getting hurt in any capacity in fiction is funny

#

YEET

normal stream
storm jungle
#

LOL

#

Its from Pariah Nexus

dusk patrol

It was a WH+ short

normal stream

queen laurel

I still can't bring myself to pay the WH+ sub lmao

storm jungle
#

No comment.

#

But I agree.

gray umbra
#

I did it for a month and it was very mid

#

Managed to experience the meme that was the cadia stands episode of hammer and bolter at least

outer wave
#

Yeah you get painting videos and animations IIRC

#

And tbh thats just eh

normal stream
#

I'm waiting for there to be a WH+ mini that I'd want

#

Although the inquisitor fig that's this year's is tempting me

dusk patrol
#

Just subscribe once or twice a year and watch it

storm jungle
#

Sloppa.

jade holly
#

Speaking of watching things

normal stream
#

I'm bummed I missed the WE Terminator from a couple years back

jade holly
#

On YouTube I’ve been getting an ad for a 40k mobile game

normal stream
#

I didn't realize at the time that the WH+ subs came with minis

jade holly
#

are any of those worth looking into?

normal stream
#

Even the better ones like the two CCGs Warpforge and Horus Heresy are gachas

lapis verge
#

Ahhh Tacticus

#

My buddy tried to drag me there

I said hell nah

#

Not when I'm occupied by Genshin KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote

Tacticus was a good meme for a day

Oh my, he's here

It is necessary my Archon, their souls shall fuel the Hydro Golden Throne

I swear I'll fucking laugh if Snezhnaya gets someone that looks like a Comissar

Oh wait...

queen laurel
lapis verge
#

Wait WHAT

#

We get Sanguinus before Corax?

opaque coyote
#

After all they made like 20 billion variations of Bronya

#

And she's always Russian adjacent

#

Since her original iteration is outright Russian

#

Born in Moscow

lapis verge
#

Hoyo and the challenge to make a character with no ties to HI3:

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

Something something Imaginary tree

#

Something something

#

Worlds and paths

lapis verge
#

Ye I know

But original character lah KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote
#

I swear they made that concept up to make 10 variations of Mei

lapis verge
#

And maybe a male unit thats actually buff

And have a beard

KEKW_ogryn

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

Varka please save us

#

Pierro please save us

#

Capitano please save us

#

On god

arctic talon
#

For them to use for player characters

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

Underneath everything

#

He mentions that his flesh is rotting

lapis verge
#

Rotting, but not dying

sad Cain noises

opaque coyote
#

Honestly due to Chinese company they probably won't show his face

#

Or have it like

#

Visibly rot

#

I think he's actually transforming into something similar to like

#

The Abyss Lectors

lapis verge
#

Capitano for Nurgle Harbinger

#

Dottore for Tzeentch Harbinger

#

Tartaglia for Khorne Harbinger

#

where Slaanesh Harbinger KEKW_ogryn

lapis verge
magic heron
#

are female custode real

opaque coyote
lapis verge
opaque coyote
lapis verge
#

At least to GW man

magic heron
#

so its true

opaque coyote
#

Watsonian wise, Custodes are custom made instead of requiring the Emperor's seed (tm)

#

Doylist wise, it's just lore fluff

lapis verge
#

Also quick shower thought

Is it plausible if we were to ever get Imperial Assassin cosmetics

opaque coyote
#

You can't tell underneath that armor anyways

magic heron
#

I also have a other quesstion

opaque coyote
#

There are like two sneak paths

magic heron
#

miniature wise what minis would you reccomend to start out with

lapis verge
#

BRO

opaque coyote
#

Probably

lapis verge
#

Or Imperial Guards

magic heron
#

I was going ot start out with them

#

or astra militarum

#

planet broke before guard did

queen laurel
magic heron
#

there is mini channel here

#

damn

lapis verge
#

Wait we have a mini channel?

#

Damn

leaden pilot
magic heron
lapis verge
queen laurel
#

Yeah but like what the ministry guy said

lapis verge
queen laurel
#

Space marines are always good start

lapis verge
#

Wait I was right?

I mean, of course, I'm always right

Like how I'll have great grandchildren before Corax mini ever gets released

#

💀

opaque coyote
#

I mean sneaky space marine exists

#

And Ogyrns do vary in intelligence

#

I can imagine a Savant Ogyrn that is like

#

Really good in Stealth

#

Imagine a large shadow slowly appearing behind you

#

As you turn around you see a giant Ogyrn with a skull helmet

#

You can't even scream before he clasps on your head and breaks your neck like a twig

leaden pilot
#

And he doesn't snap your neck, he just crushes your skull probably

opaque coyote
#

Don't callidus assassins only gore their targets

opaque coyote
#

A sneaky Ogyrn

opaque coyote
#

They just can't

gray umbra
#

Cameoline cloak ready

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Actually a Callidus Ogyrn probably can shape shift into bigger things

#

Which may actually be useful

#

Like I can easily imagine them shape shifting into a Space Marine

queen laurel
#

That's like a mutant xenos fusion

gray umbra
#

Or a pile of crates

arctic talon
#

And could lay eggs and reproduce asexually yes

queen laurel
opaque coyote
normal stream
#

Are we talking about callidus assassins?

arctic talon
#

Just assassin temples in general

#

The weird mutant xenos hybrid is a failed project

normal stream
#

Is it the time where we remind everyone of the heresy that was the Inquisition War trilogy and Callidus shapeshifting into genestealers? KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote
#

Eversor Ogyrn would probably be more plausible

#

Although they would definitely be harder to control because

#

drugs

normal stream
#

(whatever happened to Ian Watson anyways)

opaque coyote
normal stream
#

Does he still write sci fi smut?

arctic talon
#

Prolly

opaque coyote
#

He made a book in 2010 called Orgasmachine

lapis verge
opaque coyote
#

No wait

#

That's a renewal/reprint nvm

#

It was actually made in 1976

crystal forum
#

does GW just have forever rights for tolkien stuff

opaque coyote
#

Trouble with Tall Ones is his most recent book

#

Published in 2019

crystal forum
#

i can't imagine licensing anything tolkien related comes cheap nowadays

opaque coyote
#

"Prior to what follows, our plucky quartet of Xiaolong, Zbeth, Yatta, and Ngela—who crew the time machine salvage ship Fibonacci which sets out from Cranberry, Oz, in 2776 Common Era aided by Homer the Artificial Intelligence to salvage time machines gone astray—became involved with tall aliens who left a dozen of their species in stasis cabinets in Antarctica 100K years ago until an asteroid melted Antarctica's ice-cap in 2072 CE. Alas, Ngela perished inside dwarf planet Ceres from a giant spider bite but later turned up alive inside a stasis cabinet due to a 'Bolt mann Brain' from the utterly far future, quite a conjuring trick. Now read on . . ."

#

Honestly the dude is like 80+ years old and he's still writing scifi

#

He was born in 1946

#

All I can say is

#

I respect the grind

lapis verge
#

Chat how do I explain what a Servitor is to a normie KEKW_ogryn

leaden pilot
opaque coyote
celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Like that's literally what they are

crystal forum
#

A couple of weeks ago we revealed Helm Hammerhand, Wraith of the Hornberg, so it makes sense this week to unveil one of his bitterest rivals – Freca™, Lord of the West-march.

opaque coyote
#

They also use clones as well btw

crystal forum
#

they're just making shit up at this point

leaden pilot
lapis verge
#

Wait they use clones for Servitors?

I thought most Servitors are from death row inmates or smth

opaque coyote
#

You yourself get servitorized

opaque coyote
#

Most are unlucky people

#

But some are actually clones

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Basically made for the sole purpose of becoming a servitor

lapis verge
#

My understanding is Servitors are lobotomized damned folks

And Cherubs are unborn fetuses or smth

crystal forum
leaden pilot
leaden pilot

Mainly because most babies are needed

For the mines

Future minors and miners

Future Servitors KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote
#

Or for meat

leaden pilot
celest dome
#

Servitor are from 3 sources:

  • Vatgrown
  • Criminals
  • Unlucky people
opaque coyote
#

Cannibalism aside, Cherubs are basically like

The equivalent of buying a fancy, expensive lamp

#

They're there for fashion

#

Literally

#

They servitorize clone babies for aesthetics

#

They serve no purpose other than to act as a fancier servo skull

queen laurel
#

Cherubs are basically servo skulls yeah

opaque coyote
#

Apparently they're really expensive

jade holly
#

Imagine being a criminal then saying you want to repent

#

I’d rather die

opaque coyote
#

And also custom made

jade holly
#

Then become a Penitent Engine

opaque coyote
lapis verge
#

Ngl thoe

Cherubs do make any scene with them in it 20% more fancy KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote
#

Penitent Engines are meant for those who sinned within the Eccleshiarchy

opaque coyote
#

I can imagine some overworked tech priest making them

#

Like the equivalent of commissioning somebody for an art piece

jade holly
#

Hot take

#

Sevritors are the imperium version of squigs

lapis verge

Seriously though like

Imagine him just sighing

As he walks over to the literal baby factory

Another shower thought has invaded my psyche

If Dark Angels are cosmetic DLC no. 1 for SM2....

does that mean next cosmetic DLC are Empperor's Children?

opaque coyote
jade holly

So hopefully

lapis verge

I thought they said that it was basically nearly-impossible because of GW

lapis verge
jade holly
#

it had the stupid twin peaks on top of it

lapis verge
#

yes Inquisitor this man right here

KEKW_ogryn

jade holly
#

Ofc I could be absolutely wrong

Link with timestamp?

jade holly

But it’s in the post launch trailer

jade holly

and it’s blurred gameplay but you can make out the shape

normal stream
#

eh

opaque coyote

I mean it could've just been multiplayer

jade holly
#

Something something new chapter cosmetics being added

normal stream
#

We already have world eaters

opaque coyote
#

Also NGL

jade holly
#

proceeds to lie

lapis verge
#

Tbh WE fashion is more or less just different emblems of Khorne helms for variation

Maybe sleeveless Mk 9 armor like whatever Kharn is rocking KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote

I think Noise Marines are my favorite looking CSM variant

Like both the old and new designs

But when talking about the Heresy era I love the Sons of Horus

It’s not Mars

#

Yeah, that's Dark Mech

arctic talon
#

Yes

normal stream
arctic talon
#

But why are they painted black

#

That doesn’t make a lot of sense

normal stream

Because Black is Bad

arctic talon
#

They should be red though

crystal forum
#

are HH dark mech not black

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

The fuck

crystal forum
#

guess there goes another minor retcon

arctic talon
#

They kept their forgeworld colors

#

From the heresy

#

No

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

This literally contradicts

The book they just released

arctic talon
opaque coyote
normal stream
#

I do remember in the Schism of Mars book that the dark mech guys were black.

#

whichever that HH novel was

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

i like the black and brass look

arctic talon
#

That wore black + red

#

It’s why Scoria is black and red

#

And not black, cream and bronze

crystal forum
#

makes sense for mars guys to not have had the time to switch colours

normal stream
arctic talon
#

Drayvekh is black and red

#

Because he’s from stygies originally

#

So like

#

You know what

normal stream
#

I know they're introducing a new "faction" - Sibilans Taghmata

arctic talon
#

This is just a minor group of the true mechanicum

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Clearly

#

No

#

This has to be some obscure group

#

From some black book lore

#

I’ve never read

normal stream
#

Like they're clearly bringing in more lore, which I'm always happy with.

arctic talon
#

Or it’s new lore

crystal forum
#

ok but what is gryphonne 4 doing during the HH

#

the most important forge world

arctic talon
#

In any case it’s not the mainline true mechanicum group

arctic talon
#

They sent reinforcements to other forgeworlds

crystal forum
#

so cool! i hope they get more story-

arctic talon
#

Nommed

#

Heh

#

They will get more story

normal stream
arctic talon

The new book sets stuff up for gryphonne’s future

They took over one of their slaved forgeworlds

Oh wait

They’re personal forces

Nvm scheme doesn’t matter then

Okay that makes more sense

The imperium is literally losing

Every single major warzone they’re in

Shit is pretty bleak

normal stream

I mean, yeah, but suddenly now we have grav tank tech everywhere, stable plasma, volkites come back

#

🙃

arctic talon
normal stream
#

what happened to regression in technology

arctic talon
#

Volkite also already existed

#

Cawls plasma is unstable as shit

#

Lore wise

crystal forum
normal stream
#

Didn't they get rid of the gets hot rule for SM plasma guns?

arctic talon
#

No

#

What

normal stream
#

And you need to overcharge it for gets hot?

arctic talon
#

That’s just

#

A lore thing

#

That’s always been in lore

rose thorn
queen laurel
leaden pilot
#

Isn’t neo volkite kinda shit compared to regular volkite?

arctic talon
#

You can operate in “safe”

#

Capacities

#

Or you can overcharge that shit

#

Lore wise

arctic talon
#

Also volkite was still being made

#

But the admech was keeping it all for personal use

crystal forum
#

the galaxy is split in half and GW still hasnt worked with that

normal stream
arctic talon
#

Neo volkite has way lower piurput

arctic talon
shadow plover
#

They just changed the rule name

arctic talon
#

And it’s way worse then gets hot because

#

You don’t get to save

#

For infantry

#

You just fucking die lol

shadow plover
#

and you can't reroll them

arctic talon
#

Gets hot wasn’t that punishing

crystal forum
#

your units still blow up if you roll 1's as overcharge so point is moot about stability

arctic talon
#

Because you could FNP or roll saves

#

On infantry

#

If you’re going to complain about primaris stuff can you at least get it accurate

normal stream
#

No, I mean that you used to have Gets Hot EVERY time you shot it, not just overcharge.

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Also Cawls grav tech is like

queen laurel
#

Where it's rng but it's very funny

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Also plasma in 40k didn’t always explode

normal stream
arctic talon
#

No

normal stream
#

I don't think overcharge showed up till 7th? ed? or something

arctic talon
#

It’s the same profile

#

8e

crystal forum
#

ancient

arctic talon
#

But it was always in lore

#

Also plasma didn’t explode for loyalists

#

In 2e and 3e

#

You just had a cool down period

#

Lol

#

Chaos got to explode though

normal stream
#

Plasma was always at risk of blowing up in the lore.

arctic talon
#

But could fire every turn

#

Yes

#

But only if you operate outside of safe areas

#

Lol

crystal forum
#

lore isn't 1:1 with tabletop

arctic talon
#

If you let it cool down properly

#

It won’t fucking blow up

normal stream
arctic talon
#

The non overcharge profile is a way of representing that

normal stream
#

Now it's like, every SM tank (even the super heavy) has grav

arctic talon
#

It’s not good

#

Grav tech

#

It can’t fly

#

Lol

#

It literally crushes everything under it

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

It is great value grav tech

crystal forum
#

space marines tanks were already extremely good before grav

arctic talon
#

Nothing like what Arkhan Land made

normal stream
queen laurel
#

Like things like the skaven do

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

like land raiders were great

arctic talon

As usual

arctic talon

Cawls grav tech is a showpiece

queen laurel
normal stream
arctic talon
#

You get more shots in on a 6

crystal forum
#

are you talking about tabletop because i do not care

normal stream
#

You were always shooting the lascannons at one thing and taking the L on the PotMS to shoot the heavy bolter at something else

arctic talon
#

the base LR actually being good in 40k

#

Is funny as shit lol

#

It’s been years

crystal forum
#

tabletop is not the lore

arctic talon
#

And it’s finally not dogshit

But still

normal stream

I enjoy 40k more

Because the imperium is more awful

I still think primaris and phasing out firstborns was dumb KEKW_ogryn

Firstborn gear still gets used

I just don’t like heresy period wise

It’s too imperium centric lore wise for obvious reasons

And the imperium isn’t nearly evil enough

But now they’re fighting against chaos

And only chaos

So like

Bro playing dark urge and punts every squirrel

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

i punt every squirrel by default

arctic talon
#

Lol

spring cairn
#

fuck those things

jade holly
#

I play durge and embrace murder hobo

#

but romance Shart, she seems into it

spring cairn
#

(i never played bg3)

arctic talon
#

You can kill a squirrel by punting it

jade holly
#

You can also make a gobbo eat shit

#

Literally

#

Eat

#

Shit

gray umbra
#

Theres some youtube guy who sets up a killzone for squirrels and snipes them with 9mm from his house

spring cairn
#

average american

gray umbra
#

His excuse is that they eat his house or something so repair costs get gnarly

#

Its a very surreal experience watching a squirrels head explode in slow motion 200 fps

#

I think that sneaked into my algorithm when i visited florida so

queen laurel
#

Ugh

gray umbra
#

Yeah

queen laurel
#

It's not pleasant let me tell you

jade holly
#

Tf

#

Please tell me you’re not referring to actual irl squirrels

gray umbra
#

Yes

jade holly
#

If you are, then please drop itn

#

I don’t need that imagery in my head

"My Emperor, the- there's a slime creature in the gates. We tried to crush it but it just keeps arriving!"

#

"IT KILLED HORUS!"

#

"So... my oldest enemy has finally arrived..."

#

A snail arrives.

#

"I'm sorry. But you cannot end me right now. Not when there's so much left to do..."

#

the snail stops for a second. And then continues sliding towards the Emperor

#

The Emperor unsheathes his flaming sword

gray umbra
#

What if the tyranids finally adapt to everything the imperium can throw at them

#

And the form is just

#

A snail

opaque coyote
#

The TRUE Hivemind?

gray umbra
#

First it overcame salt

#

Now bullets

opaque coyote
#

It got tired of endless consumption

#

It saw the brilliant bright light of it's old enemy

#

And decided to make a mad dash towards the end

crisp heath
#

Do avatars of khaine really get bodied as much as I hear people complain they do?

#

Haven’t actually read any of the eldar books yet

celest dome
#

Somewhat yes

crisp heath
#

That’s, kinda sad

odd palm
#

They don’t show up often because Eldar comparatively don’t show up often. But much like Swarmlords or greater daemons (especially blood thirsters) they’re mostly used as a measuring stick for how badass someone is

storm jungle
#

but also largely what Luximus said

#

realistically the moment you get near the Avatar you'd literally melt to death lol

#

but we gotta have it get its ass kicked for the character of the week

crisp heath
#

Beating a shard of a god of war that went toe to toe with the chaos gods should be a bigger deal then just showing how cool someone is

#

Man I wanna like the eldar

#

But they really make it hard

arctic talon
#

It doesn’t win a ton lol

#

Whenever it shows up in a eldar codex entry it usually wins

odd palm
#

They really do, I mean I might be mistaken but if an Avatar of Khaine is present then this either the Eldars final gambit or a big deal and it should be doing a lot more than it actually does

arctic talon
#

Or just read the codex

#

Path of the eldar is good world building

#

But gav thrope is gav thrope

#

Lol

arctic talon
#

Because they’re shards

gray umbra
#

Theres a lot of shards

#

But thats the downside of imperium pov books

#

Brolic main character beats everyone up

#

Some of it is cool but when you distill it down like that, its a common trend

#

Like eisenhorn beating a chaos titan

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

Honestly I’m w/e

#

I love eldar a lot

#

Cwe are prolly my second favorite faction lol

dusk patrol
#

Which is perfectly in line with what daemon hosts can do especially if they’re super powerful

#

Which from the series it’s already been established Churbael is

gray umbra
#

Oh true i forgot about cherubael

storm jungle
#

Cherubael is basically a deus ex machina so lol

gray umbra
#

That section was a bit of a blur when i read it

arctic talon
#

Deus ex daemonhost

storm jungle
#

accurate

arctic talon
#

Craftworld Eldar are written pretty well aside from novels imo

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

"aside from novels"

arctic talon
#

They’re not great in most

storm jungle
#

aka basically nowhere

#

almost

#

💀

arctic talon
#

Tf you mean

#

Rulebooks

#

Smh

storm jungle
#

BRUH

dusk patrol
#

They’ve got plenty of codex lore

arctic talon
#

Rulebook lore good

gray umbra
#

The only eldar book i know is path of the something

arctic talon
#

I’m going to strangle you

languid meadow
#

please GW lock gav thrope into the world building box.....

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Drukhari id say do fine largely tbh

arctic talon
#

Path of the eldar is good worldbuilding

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Everything else is bad

#

Drukhari is good writing generally lol

storm jungle
#

BECAUSE I READ MOST OF THOSE CODEXES SINCE IM AUTISTIC AF

arctic talon
#

Aside from the Carcharadons book

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

That one was bad

gray umbra
#

Elveselveselves

storm jungle
#

That book was bad in general

#

i swear

#

if i see

#

another

#

"autistic magic child" trope

#

im gonna blow up

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

SHUT UP BITCH-ASS

arctic talon
#

Besides don’t you want to watch Eldrad win a wizard battle

#

Smh

gray umbra
#

Autistic magic child is my favorite trope next to mystery cancer

storm jungle
#

Whos Eldrad

storm jungle
#

god

#

dont

dusk patrol
#

Arguably I like Path of the Eldar more than a lot of books because at least it expands the universe and has cool ideas

storm jungle
#

then uh, yeah

dusk patrol
#

The plot is kinda lame but that’s not really what I’m there for largely anyways

arctic talon
#

^

storm jungle
#

yeah the first half is literally us following a simp

#

"HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE MY ART"

paper haven
#

Mystery cancer

arctic talon
#

Path of the incel

storm jungle
#

"Skill issue"

#

honestly tho ive seen a lot of artists like that IRL

#

so not far off

arctic talon
#

Path of the eldar books are worldbuilding the series

storm jungle
#

someone post that Ratatouille gustav meme

#

Criticized once

It’s basically him thinking he’s hot shit until oh wait actually I’m still super young and an idiot

"WHAT THE FUCK"

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

He went for the heart

storm jungle
#

Anton was cooking some real shit with that review

dusk patrol
#

Gustav’s weakest point

storm jungle
#

the green goblin tactic

dusk patrol

We probably don’t see the one guys mom because Gustav killed her during conception

I used to think it was unrealistic that dude would get with the one hot French girl

#

Then I worked in a kitchen

Heroin Rizz is so real

Now I think it’s unrealistic it took her so long

Remember the sculptor that criticized Fulgrim?

dusk patrol
#

Bro really didn’t check his phone for months

#

“Damn I wish you guys would have told me we turned on the Emperor before I made a giant statue to him.”

storm jungle
#

#

its literally just people getting cut apart and some lady using blood/bodily fluids for the canvas

dusk patrol
#

Not even that kinky smh

storm jungle
#

lol

#

maybe im just disentisized tho lmao

dusk patrol
#

I can’t even kink shame it is so tame

paper haven
#

People actually said that?

storm jungle
#

Yeah a lot of fans do

#

which is weird

#

its just generic violent stuff

arctic talon
#

The fulgrim stuff is like

#

Meh

paper haven
#

The daemonculaba exist

dusk patrol
#

People think the daemonculaba is somehow the peak of body horror

arctic talon
#

The painting is kinda gross

#

But meh

storm jungle
#

i think my favorite/worst still has to be the uh

languid meadow
dusk patrol
#

It’s not even the worst in that book

storm jungle
#

arco-flagelliation from Forges of Mars

#

that was legit horrifying to me

dusk patrol

Bah that’s whatever

#

Poop painting

dusk patrol
#

Based off his own admission he killed billions and was kinda nuts

paper haven
#

What's so bad about the arco-flagellation?

dusk patrol
#

They do it to you alive

#

And keep you alive

#

And conscious

#

And you live for a long time potentially

#

Idk it’s rough but like, it’s pretty standard stuff for 40k

paper haven
#

Ok so. It's like what some servitors deal with

dusk patrol
#

It doesn’t help they’re doing it to some extremely fucked up people

celest dome
#

Except you're made concious

dusk patrol
#

Cause man is it high effort

celest dome
#

The Admech also does it with Evicerators

opaque coyote
#

Just

#

I mean imagine still being alive

#

While stretched like a tarp

dusk patrol
#

Idk at a certain point it’s like

storm jungle
#

Eh

#

nah thats generic too

dusk patrol
#

Yes that sucks

#

Idk

paper haven
#

The harmunculi would be my go-to for the Bad Stuff ™️

dusk patrol
#

Like if it was in a movie and done well it would freak me out but it’s just coming up with shit

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

I think the only drukhari thing that creeped me out was uh, them hanging out some people to literally dry on some pole, and it mentions that like

#

they hollowed out their bones

#

so whenever wind flies past them

opaque coyote
#

I guess it's more due to my imagination

storm jungle
#

it goes through their skeleton

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

and its like eurh

gray umbra
#

Thats metal as fuck

dusk patrol
#

It’s just all a cartoon

opaque coyote
#

Like imagine your fucking lungs being like flat stanley

languid meadow
#

the living room is quite cheerful idk what you mean

storm jungle
#

they basically turned them into flutes

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

Does it make a cool whistling noise too

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

it does LMAO

#

the book mentions it

paper haven
#

Hollow bone imagery does get me

storm jungle
#

then they beg death from Jain Zar the phoenix lord and shes like "Nah"

gray umbra
#

I think im desensitized to most of this shit at this point

dusk patrol
#

My favorite is when there’s a “horrific” story of Vect telling a dude a story and he doesn’t finish it

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

And this is torture

arctic talon
#

The drukhari soup story is pretty fun

dusk patrol
#

Like mfer just hang out with my grandpa with dementia

arctic talon
#

The one where the haemonculi

#

Turns his master into living soup

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

That feels everything

opaque coyote
#

Like wow he's a chaos worshipper

arctic talon
#

Then serves him to a bunch of other haemonculi

opaque coyote
#

He betrays everyone

#

But there's like

#

No flair

arctic talon
#

Before revealing that was his master

opaque coyote
#

But Vect has fun with it

storm jungle
#

what a dickhead

opaque coyote

Vect the sort of guy to give someone space lsd and then go nightmarenightmarenightmare

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

But it’s so silly like “oh no I won’t know how it ends, this is definitely worse than having my organs being used as a flute pipe!”

storm jungle
#

To be fair

#

that excerpt is like

#

from 1942

opaque coyote
#

Like he is just having fun

storm jungle
#

its that cheese

dusk patrol

Just show them fucking season 1 of Firefly then say it got canceled smh

#

The peak of horror was a lot lower in the 40s

dusk patrol
#

The funnier thing is I guess the story is kind of being meta-because we the reader don’t get to hear it either

#

But like it’s really not that great of a story so oh no author I don’t get to hear the rest of your OK story

opaque coyote
#

I'm now imagining actual Nazi's playing the Imperium.

Like not Neo-Nazi's. Just like literally two SS officers sitting down for a game of 40k

#

Average 40k tournament be like

#

average 40k tournament in spain

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I kinda wish Space Marines got more variation of their armor

#

Like idk I always thought that they should wear different marks

#

But that's also hard to mass produce so

#

And would them more expensive

arctic talon
#

Something

opaque coyote

A neonazi too

The dude was a known piece of shit

And overall a shitter

that was just the last straw

opaque coyote

What did he do again?

#

I genuinely forgot

dusk patrol
#

Me reminding Spaniards on the Internet that Spain doesn’t even have the second most amount of Spanish speakers in it in the world

opaque coyote
#

Oh yeah

#

He showed up in a fucking Nazi uniform

#

WHAT DID HE THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN BRUH

dusk patrol
#

Why do we always end up on this topic?

opaque coyote
#

DID HE THINK THAT HE WOULD WALK INTO THE TOURNAMENT BUILDING

#

AND EVERYONE WOULD CLAP
