[arctic talon]

To the inqusition

[queen laurel]

Like one of the most extreme cases of mutation are the black dragon switch can cause them to grow near the height of a ogryn and develop Bone blades

[arctic talon]

But it could be fine assuming the geneseed tests well

[jade holly]

Funny you bring them up

[queen laurel]

they are practically trying their best to balance a fine line

[jade holly]

Cause I’m referring to a homebrew Salamander successor chapter

[queen laurel]

Well yes I'm just saying that if it's way too mutated you're gonna get killed

[jade holly]

So prob ditch the scale skin but keep the flammable gas spewing Betcher’s Gland

cause fire breath is awesome

[queen laurel]

you say that but like

[arctic talon]

Their geneseed tests well

Is the thing

The geneseed falls within the “boundaries of purity”

[queen laurel]

Yeah which is the funny part because like I think out of every single space marine chapter they're the ones with the most apparent mutants showing themselves?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[jade holly]

Salamanders in general?

[queen laurel]

like compared to the space wolves who can get like wulfen, these guys have entire formations dedicated to these mutants

[arctic talon]

No, black dragons

[queen laurel]

no out of every single space marine chapter I'm pretty sure the black Dragons have the most mutants they show in public

[arctic talon]

Sallies aren’t mutated

[queen laurel]

like they have an entire squad dedicated to just these guys

[jade holly]

I mean, the skin and glowing eyes are interesting

[arctic talon]

They just have like one somewhat defective organ

[jade holly]

[arctic talon]

That’s due to a malfunctioning organ

And nocturnes like

Sun

[queen laurel]

The skin is caused by them being recruited in nocturnes hilarious radiation

Like every people there naturally has that skin and eyes

but apparently they're still considered people?

wouldn't things like that fall under mutation or abhuman

[jade holly]

Would you tell that to one of them to their face?

[queen laurel]

no

what do you think i am a Dumbass?

[jade holly]

I mean, you are an Ork

[arctic talon]

The eyes yeah, I don’t think the skin is a thing?

[queen laurel]

a Cunning and smart ork

[arctic talon]

either way

[jade holly]

Fair

[arctic talon]

Salamanders have pretty “pure” geneseed

Just have a low acceptance rate

[queen laurel]

what about space wolves

the entire werewolf thing can happen to them

[jade holly]

But I think I’ll just simplify mine down to having a mutated Betcher’s Gland that, with help from a modified helmet with an igniter, allows them to breathe fire

[arctic talon]

All the first foundings have pure geneseed

That doesn’t mean it’s stable

Space wolves geneseed is super unstable

Once exposed to fenris

[queen laurel]

OK so the chances of it mutating you into a horrible creature and it being pure are two completely different things

[arctic talon]

For uh reasons

Yeah

It’s weird

[jade holly]

Clearly the Wulfen are pure gene seeds smh

[queen laurel]

What the **** does GW want to do with fenris man

Like they don't have psykers there because their Rune priests can draw power from it even if it can be like a billion light years away, giant suspected organisms of tyranid origin roamed the place and literal wolves that can eat our rhinoceros

[arctic talon]

But yeah space wolves geneseed used to be really stable

And easy to implement

[arctic talon]

Rune priests are psykers

It’s literally cope they aren’t

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's ******** let me tell you but apparently in universe it's just what they say it is

[arctic talon]

No, they’re psykers

Lol

It’s literal space wolves cope they aren’t

[queen laurel]

apparently they want you to believe in universe that this planet can empower an entire legion of these guys into a mad battle frenzy literal 1 billion years away from their ******* home world

it's just like why

[arctic talon]

They’re psykers

They can do that

Runepriests are psykers

[queen laurel]

I'm telling you man whatever the people were smoking when they are making Fenris i want some

[arctic talon]

The whole runepriests aren’t psykers thing is massive in universe cope

[crystal forum]

it's like asking wtf a rune is

[queen laurel]

yeah no way it's some kind of ******** rune magic

[jade holly]

Fenris is just a Norse mythology geek’s wet dream

[crystal forum]

do random shapes just have warp power for no reason

[jade holly]

Psykers are renamed to Rune Priests to not break their immersion

[arctic talon]

Eldar psyker runes are just funny carvings with psychic magic shoved into them

[jade holly]

And also probably because Space Wolves are dumber than a rock

[arctic talon]

Some symbols in universe have warp warding properties

Or warp amplifying ones

[queen laurel]

In fantasy and in age of sigmar they just like catch magic and shove it into a rock right with carvings

[arctic talon]

Shit like the eight pointed star of chaos

[crystal forum]

there's no in universe explanation for this when warp symbols are given power by the gods they represent themselves. wtf powers up this shit

[jade holly]

Rune Magic could just be seen as another discipline of Psyker Magic right?

[crystal forum]

does the christian cross suddenly have power because it had believers

[arctic talon]

Chaos symbols prolly get fueled by the gods

[jade holly]

Idk what the actual term for Pysker magic is

Warp manipulation?

[arctic talon]

Psychic powers

Is what they’re called

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah probably

But the emperor killed all the Christian’s and Catholics

[crystal forum]

it's just dumb

[arctic talon]

Idk

Symbols having power is fine

They’re clearly fueled by a Psyker or a chaos god

[crystal forum]

like there's a language that can kill people just by speaking it which just exists in 40k for some reason

[jade holly]

Man’s didn’t want to be seen as God, yet killed the religions that worshipped God so they turned to him

Good on you Big E

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

[crystal forum]

a single word sent horus flying

a single fucking word

[arctic talon]

Idk

That’s fine

[jade holly]

I see where Magnus got his stupidity from

[arctic talon]

Idfk what you want me to say

The warp is literal magic

[crystal forum]

it's not even magic it's just speaking

[queen laurel]

What about in fantasy and Age sigmar you know being the main source of magic for dwarves because they turn into stone if they use it

[arctic talon]

Enuncia is tied to the warp

So

It is magic

[storm jungle]

thats a thing in World of Darkness actually lol

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

you dont need to be a psyker

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

I love True Faith

[arctic talon]

That doesn’t mean it isn’t tied to the warp

[crystal forum]

who created the language? fuck you, that's who

[jade holly]

Shout out to Castlevania who said Vampires are scared of the cross cause they hate the geometric shape of it

[queen laurel]

Don't you just love it that you believe on Jesus Christ so hard that you begin developing wrestling moves to kill demons

[arctic talon]

Probably some long dead xenos species

Lol

[crystal forum]

how it made its way on ancient earth

[arctic talon]

Maybe belakor’s race

[crystal forum]

for no reason

[jade holly]

Bro you just described the movie Nacho Libre

[arctic talon]

Idfk people got a fucking vision from the warp

[queen laurel]

Fuck of course I did

[arctic talon]

Do you just hate the warp?

The warp is just fucking magic timey wimey plot land

Psyker stuff is a soft magic system with some hard elements

[crystal forum]

would be nice if they tried to add some level of coherency

[arctic talon]

But it’s pretty mutable

[arctic talon]

There is coherency to the warp though

There’s baseline rules about it

That aren’t really broken

[crystal forum]

like what

[storm jungle]

the Warp is great because it has no coherency lol

its the perfect plot device

[opaque coyote]

I really want to make a 40k version of this meme lmao

[opaque coyote]

Time is merely a suggestion to the warp

[arctic talon]

The warp responds off of willpower, exposure to the warp itself will just kill you unless it’s in a pocket dimension, chaos is the predominant force in the warp

[queen laurel]

alright here's my warp generator that can fight godzilla and i decide to shove it on my heart as a battery to power my self

It absorbs power by rubbing kittens

[crystal forum]

what is exposure to the warp

[queen laurel]

If an author did that honestly I'm not even gonna be surprised it's just like the warp is kind of just this thing you can use for convenience

[arctic talon]

Entering the warp without protection

[crystal forum]

like interacting with warp imagery?

[arctic talon]

as a human/eldar/ork

Just kills you

No

Warp imagery can cause corruption, mutations, or other weird things

[crystal forum]

does knowing about the warp itself fuck up your brain

[opaque coyote]

"Ugh. Why do I feel something scratching at my head?"

The nefarious daemon:

[arctic talon]

It makes you more vulnerable to warp predators if you’re nervous about it constantly

[opaque coyote]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1252243075938521109/1252512386976579695/togif-13.gif

[crystal forum]

im talking about level of comprehension. do you have to know wtf you're looking at to be affected?

[arctic talon]

The nefarious catfish

[arctic talon]

Well your soul will know something is terribly wrong inherently

[crystal forum]

like are ogryns just not very corruptable because they dumb

[arctic talon]

Ogryn are pretty easily influenceable

[queen laurel]

no they are

[opaque coyote]

Yesn't

Part of the reason why the Emperor neglected to tell the Primarchs about the warp is because knowledge of daemons and shit existing is corruption in itself

[queen laurel]

so they are very easy to corrupt because they are stupid

[arctic talon]

^

[crystal forum]

ok so willpower isn't intellect

[queen laurel]

like in tertium ogryns have horns

[jade holly]

Definitely not

[storm jungle]

No different from people IRL tbh

[queen laurel]

and like bone growth out of their hair

[arctic talon]

force of will, intelligence, wisdom all matter when interacting with the warp

[opaque coyote]

However at the same time. Just because you don't know a shark is coming for you.

Doesn't mean that the shark just disappears

[jade holly]

A very intelligent man can be very easily manipulated

[opaque coyote]

It's still there

[queen laurel]

Hey stop talking about me

[jade holly]

And a very dumb man can be impossible to manipulate

[opaque coyote]

And it will still bite you

[queen laurel]

i will fall to chaos if they offered me lollipops

[opaque coyote]

"FOUL DAEMON. I WILL NEVER FALL TO YOUR TRICKERY-"

"Two lollipops"

"GAH! FINE. FOR THE DARK PRINCE..."

[crystal forum]

so a guardsman guy can survive the warp if he's just really really faithful?

[queen laurel]

no khorne

or Nurgle

Slannesh ain't my type of corruption

[opaque coyote]

You are asking for a lollipop

That is excess

Therefore Slaanesh

[arctic talon]

Getting dunked in the warp just fucking kills you

[crystal forum]

actually does faith actually do anything in universe

[queen laurel]

for every decapitated head i offer

[opaque coyote]

You greedy creature

[arctic talon]

Exposure to warp energy sure they might survive

[arctic talon]

Yes

[crystal forum]

like sometimes faith actually objectively helps

[arctic talon]

Yes

[crystal forum]

in stories

sometimes it doesnt

[arctic talon]

Faith is something that’s real

The emperor does sometimes “bless” people

[opaque coyote]

This is due to the fact that the warp is affected by Will

[arctic talon]

Or act through them

[queen laurel]

i mean living saints are becoming a thing

[opaque coyote]

Believing in something so hard will affect it

[crystal forum]

is it the faith itself that helps or the willpower given by the tenacity of keeping that faith

[arctic talon]

Both

[opaque coyote]

Both

[arctic talon]

Faith feeds into willpower

Willpower can feed into faith

Some powerful psykers are very pious

For that reason

Ignoring the fact imperial doctrine demands they should be burned at the stake

[crystal forum]

and for chaos wordshippers, faith gives more warp power right?

[storm jungle]

How do you not know this stuff

its like Warhammer warp powers 101

[tough haven]

Until it makes you a chaos spawn lol

[queen laurel]

too focused on adoring military vehicles of the imperial guard and the imperial guard itself

[arctic talon]

Yes

Faith in the dark gods, faith in whatever they draw strength from

Ect.

[crystal forum]

so faith in the emperor gives power from him by that logic

[opaque coyote]

Of course you can just

Be really stubborn

Like that one woman who was so selfish. She literally ate two Greater Daemons

[storm jungle]

Can someone just

[crystal forum]

if it does work

[arctic talon]

Sometimes

[storm jungle]

force Jay to read the lexicanum

[opaque coyote]

And then Slaanesh just ascended her

[arctic talon]

Worth it

[opaque coyote]

Presumably so that she can stop eating her greater daemons

[jade holly]

Where is the Betcher’s Gland located?

[arctic talon]

Mouth

Cheeks

Like the back area

[jade holly]

Ok so there goes my idea partly

[storm jungle]

Wherever we belch from

[arctic talon]

Around your tonsil’s

Lol

[queen laurel]

no because let's be honest he probably made a las gun on his garage and would shoot me the moment I tried to break it into his house

[crystal forum]

lexicanum sucks for broad topics

[storm jungle]

This isnt a broad topic

you are asking very basic things

lmao

[tough haven]

Doesn’t have to be faith in any one being either, you can just believe in your ability to kick ass

[crystal forum]

it's broad

[queen laurel]

Bro

[arctic talon]

Also chaos faith magic does occur

[storm jungle]

"Does worshipping a god give you powers"

Yes

so no its not broad

[arctic talon]

The thousand sons faith in tzeentch helps them

When they made an incursion into the pariah nexus

[jade holly]

I had the idea of the Betcher’s Gland being mutated to emit a flammable gas and that the SMs who use it a lot would have destroyed vocal cords and can’t speak. But nah it’s in the mouth

[queen laurel]

This has been a staple and like every single fictional universe that has a God

[jade holly]

So free fire breath with no consequence

[queen laurel]

why are you asking this

[storm jungle]

Anywy carry on

just wanted to comment

[tough haven]

Or your faith in the strength of humanity, or kindness or something basic/universal as well

[crystal forum]

let's talk about femstodes instead

[arctic talon]

Okay

What about them

[opaque coyote]

I honestly find that tidbit to be funny

Also for some reason I'm just imagining her literally just shoving a Keeper of Secrets inside an oven.

"Mmm... Fresh daemon"

Daemon screaming inside the oven

[jade holly]

Can they spit acid?

Asking for a friend

[crystal forum]

not astartes

so presumably no

[storm jungle]

no

[queen laurel]

how about i ask Nagash to torture your soul you bag of bones

[arctic talon]

No

[storm jungle]

Custodes are genetically enhanced humans

[arctic talon]

Custodes don’t have extra organs

[storm jungle]

Space Marines are genetic mutant meatmen

[jade holly]

I no longer have interest in Femstodes

[storm jungle]

Thank god

[crystal forum]

who knows some biologis might give a custodes acid spit for fun

[storm jungle]

They cant

Custodians get super specific geneticist-surgeons

they would never deviate

[jade holly]

Damn didn’t realize I had bad takes like that

[crystal forum]

arent they all custom jobs

[opaque coyote]

So theoretically. Let's say you somehow managed to knock out and capture a space marine. And then for good measure, dose him with a fuck ton of knock out gas

[queen laurel]

Wait so if we're including genetic improvements here are they technically peak human?

[storm jungle]

No?

They all get the same treatment

[opaque coyote]

Can you remove the Belcher gland

Like permanently

[storm jungle]

Yeah they have always been "peak" human

[crystal forum]

i thought every custodes was tailor made

[opaque coyote]

Tonsil removal surgeries exist so

[queen laurel]

Hmm i see

[arctic talon]

I mean they’re sculpted in a custom way but there’s a basic template

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

Custodes don’t get extra organs

[crystal forum]

ah

[arctic talon]

During the gene alchemy process

[storm jungle]

its how they retain their personalities and other stuff that makes them roughly human

Astartes are very much genetic abominations

[jade holly]

Bold words for someone in Belcher gland range

[arctic talon]

Yes

It’s not essential to marines

[crystal forum]

they dont even have a second heart? i never even thought of that

[opaque coyote]

Basically

Custodes are stated to be built like Greek statues

Space Marines are stated to be a bjt

Uncanny

[storm jungle]

Everything Space Marines have is just "just to be sure" features

[queen laurel]

i mean they are

[storm jungle]

Custodes need none of it

[opaque coyote]

With their proportions being off

[storm jungle]

they are literally superior human beings

[crystal forum]

custodes have the meet the medic baboon heart

[storm jungle]

NOOOOO

[jade holly]

Space Marines are the “we shove all kinds of random crap in them to make them better weapons” while the Custodes are “Molded from Clay by the gods”?

[opaque coyote]

Basically

It's also permanently ubercharged

[storm jungle]

Yes.

always has been

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

So what you're telling me is they're basically what Bile wants to make?

[arctic talon]

No

New men have extra organs

[storm jungle]

Space Marines have been freaks since rogue trader

[arctic talon]

Lol

[storm jungle]

its the point of why their creation is awful

[queen laurel]

shit

[storm jungle]

and suplicants always die

lol

[arctic talon]

New Men are weird

[opaque coyote]

Technically the Thunder Warriors were actually stronger than SMs

They just

[arctic talon]

Rot

[opaque coyote]

Didn't last long

[arctic talon]

Lol

Literal ticking time bomb

[storm jungle]

T-Warriors were just gene-cocktails

[jade holly]

That does bring up something I’ve wondered about, do SMs sometimes fight Rogue Traders?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[queen laurel]

Yeah they are about as cancerous as someone who runs a riot shield in Call of Duty

[celest dome]

Have there ever been mentions of Custodes that were Psykers ?

[storm jungle]

Uhhh unless a RG interferes with their mission no

[storm jungle]

Nope never.

[celest dome]

Sad

[storm jungle]

they got Doomseers in the palace who are normal psykers that help with this stuff

[opaque coyote]

SMs trade in brute strength for adaptability basically

And also not going insane after 30 years

No

[jade holly]

They’re walking weapons of war and versatility, prob why the chapters all have their unique quirks and gimmicks

Besides blueberries

Cause fuck being original

[arctic talon]

No and it seems they were planned to be that way

[opaque coyote]

Instead they go insane after 100 years after a daemon tells them that "Your Dad didn't buy you the iPhone you wanted to Sanguinala"

[celest dome]

Sm trade excelence for mass production (
speaking broadly)

[arctic talon]

They do have a gimmick

It’s called absurdly good logistics

[opaque coyote]

[jade holly]

Ah yes, excel spreadsheets the power

[crystal forum]

because logistics matter in 40k when it's for plot reasons

[arctic talon]

They also just recruit more efficiently

Then any other chapter lol

[crystal forum]

kinda easy when you own a whole sector

[arctic talon]

Well

[jade holly]

Your primarch was a terrible warrior but a brilliant tactician

[arctic talon]

I’m talking about only mcragge

[opaque coyote]

Vegeta

[arctic talon]

They don’t have any horrifying treck or trial before the initiate thing

[opaque coyote]

Fun fact

[jade holly]

Surprised someone caught that

[opaque coyote]

Before they found their primarch

[arctic talon]

They just

Check your genetics

[opaque coyote]

The Ultramarines wee

The most brutal

[arctic talon]

And send you away if you’re not compatible lol

[opaque coyote]

And destructive SM legion

Their Primarch basically gave them a chill pill

[jade holly]

Now that belongs to Blood Angels, or the Black Templars depending on who you ask

[crystal forum]

astartes be like "why arent we getting more recruits" as they check off the 90% casualty rate in the recent trial

[arctic talon]

50% casualty rate getting to the trial

Hm I wonder

[jade holly]

Hey man they gotta weed out the weak links

[opaque coyote]

sigh Bring in the children

[arctic talon]

Mfw Dante almost got mauled to death by a giant bird

[jade holly]

like the Salamanders, they let you build one weapon

Then go on a Monster Hunter hunt

[opaque coyote]

(despite the fact that part of the reason why many die/get crippled is simply being unlucky)

[crystal forum]

they dont even test people at their physical prime lol they put teenagers though death runs and hope for the best

[arctic talon]

Yep

Lol

[jade holly]

Exactly, even those with bad luck get weeded out

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it is close to the physical prime

[arctic talon]

I

13 year olds

Are not in their physical prime lol

[opaque coyote]

Oh I thought it was likez

16

When they put them through the death trials

[arctic talon]

It’s like 12 to 16

[opaque coyote]

Oof nvm

[arctic talon]

At least for the blood angels

[crystal forum]

some of them havent even gone through puberty

[arctic talon]

A majority of the aspirants hadn’t gone through puberty when Dante went through the trials

But that might just be because Baal is a shithole

[jade holly]

Do they put you to sleep when they install all those new organs?

[celest dome]

Imperial Fist kidnap Juves on Necromunda

[opaque coyote]

Nope

[jade holly]

Or do they just rip you open while you’re awake

[arctic talon]

You don’t get put under lol

[jade holly]

It’s 40k

[opaque coyote]

For some reason the Imperium doesn't believe in morphine

[crystal forum]

depends on chapter

[jade holly]

Why am I asking that

[opaque coyote]

Or painkillers

[arctic talon]

Unless you’re a few chapters

[queen laurel]

OK in 40K the most latest of era do ultramarines have the most stable and high success rate Geneseed?

[jade holly]

No such thing as comfort in 40k

[arctic talon]

UM don’t put you under after you get the initial implementation

[crystal forum]

i just started reading the night lords book and he gets put under

[arctic talon]

You get shoved into a coffin for the blood angels

Imperial fists

You don’t get put under

Don’t be a bitch

[jade holly]

Iron hands

Well

[crystal forum]

that's a given

[jade holly]

You’re gonna be missing your body anyways

[arctic talon]

UM and DA have the most stable geneseed

[jade holly]

[queen laurel]

i see

[arctic talon]

The most stable and easy to implement genelines were

[celest dome]

SW would just have you hammered on alcohol

[jade holly]

Imagine becoming a Black Dragon

[opaque coyote]

Also that one chapter that have the recruits fight Daemons

[arctic talon]

Iron warriors, word bearers, dark angels and ultramarines

[jade holly]

How much would it hurt to get those claws shoved into you

[opaque coyote]

Like fight being possessed

Specifically

They probably have like

[queen laurel]

bro they drink poison as alcohol

[opaque coyote]

Zero fucking recruits

Tbh

[queen laurel]

ain't no way

[arctic talon]

They have normal alcohol for the serfs

Smh

[celest dome]

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Isn't alcohol technically poison

[arctic talon]

Yes

Also the space wolves have like

[celest dome]

Do love it though

[queen laurel]

Shh that takes the fun out of being an alcoholic

[arctic talon]

A ton of serfs lol

[opaque coyote]

I remember an excerpt where some random Serf took a nibble off of some SM rations cause they were hungry

And then Magnus found them having a seizure

[arctic talon]

Well yeah

Marine rations are

[opaque coyote]

Because it was too much energy for the baseline body to process at once

[arctic talon]

Very calorie dense unfortunately for normal humans

And full of drugs

Lol

[queen laurel]

aren't they literally a thick nutrient paste so full nutrition that it could kill a person?

[opaque coyote]

Apparently some marine rations are "safe" to eat. But only in like tiny portions.

While some uh

Have you fucking die

It depends

[arctic talon]

It depends

Lul

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

"Alright Sigmas. It's bulking season"

"Now choose between the uranium ore or the SM Nutrient paste"

If gorilla food didn't have so much ash in it I would eat it for gains

slurp it down with horse electrolytes

[gray umbra]

Think of the gains

[opaque coyote]

Imagine a 40k version of that gain advice

[queen laurel]

@storm jungle you got an image of a Psyker being horribly mutilated into a portal

[opaque coyote]

Suitably Grimdark methinks

"Remember to drink radiation for some massive bulk"

[storm jungle]

Uh the what

[queen laurel]

a psyker being turned into a flesh portal

[storm jungle]

no idea

[queen laurel]

do you have something like that

[storm jungle]

prob try googling it i got nothing

[opaque coyote]

"This guy DRINKS radiation and EATS corpses and he looks like this now!"

[celest dome]

I used to have it

[queen laurel]

yeah because we had this conversation of them turning into a portal because of the warp

[celest dome]

Will check

[queen laurel]

yeah please hit me up when you see

[opaque coyote]

"SO MAKE SURE TO GO THROUGH BULKING SEASON WITH THESE TIPS!"

"FULL NATTY TRUST"

Those veins in that artwork I just posted unironically grossed me out

They look like vines bruh

[gray umbra]

Gfuel but with 90 percent more gamer

[jade holly]

How/where do they find new recruits for SMs?

[opaque coyote]

Basically they just have people volunteer

Usually children who don't know what they're getting into

Occasionally they steal

But most children voluntarily go simply because

"You mean to tell me that I can become a cool angel AND I can eat as much as I want? Oh boy!"

Which is honestly far more fucked up than simply just stealing them

[celest dome]

Every Chapter does it differently
Imperial Fist pick children/youngs they've noticed
Blood Angel on Baal organise blood tournament (Children enter it cause being on Baal suck ass)

[tough haven]

Like the like uhh enslaver things?

[opaque coyote]

Baals

[queen laurel]

no i mean an image of a psyker mutilated into the shape of a portal for daemons

[opaque coyote]

[tough haven]

Yeah but don’t enslavers do that? I thought they had art

[jade holly]

Don’t IH sometimes steal people to uh…. Make more recruits?

[opaque coyote]

Occasionally

But again

Most come voluntarily

They don't know what being a SM entails

For all they know

They will become a cool big man with the shiny armor

Fighting for the Emperor!

[celest dome]

Ye, on Necromunda

[opaque coyote]

Of course they'll either learn

Or die

No inbetween

[celest dome]

Just kidnap Juves

[opaque coyote]

Imagine a horror story of a child on necromunda desperately trying to escape a space marine

Only for it to end with

"New recruit captured"

[celest dome]

Really think there should be a IF Hanger On, that give credits if he manage to capture a new recruit, but with the risk of losing a Juve from your side

a light amount of hydration for the employee. what a considerate person

[rocky gale]

Went a better quality version?

[languid meadow]

do you have one?

[rocky gale]

Yep

[languid meadow]

Oh I have the original

I posted the one earlier because it has YouTube prankster in it

[rocky gale]

Gross

[languid meadow]

I mean I'm not being serious with the image I posted it because it relates to the convo above

[rocky gale]

Chose to use uglier version, gross

[languid meadow]

I don't think anyone has used the full high quality version for it yet

idk the image is like

3 years old now?

it's 2 nvm

my time is all fucked up

[rose thorn]

Eldar leaks

[opaque coyote]

So somebody made a 40k version of a VERY old copypasta

It is very funny

[languid meadow]

I wonder what the person is doing now

[opaque coyote]

same

[languid meadow]

damn I can't find the space marine mario kart video

nvm found it

https://youtu.be/OhYTX-PlSM8?si=IiT-EUPM0zVrZH5N

[opaque coyote]

referring to Peach as a heretic

actually now have the temptation to draw like

Imperium Highborn Peach

What would Mario be

A guardsman?

PDF?

Yoshi would be a tyranid 100%

[dusky scroll]

How educated are space marines? as far as I know white scars do art and poetry stuff on their free time. But what about the other legions/chapters?

[opaque coyote]

Very

They are pretty intelligent and educated

[storm jungle]

Way too "it depends".

Some are very wells studied while the others could not give less of a shit, and some are just in the middle.

[rose thorn]

less of a shit cough space wolves cough

[storm jungle]

LOL

[opaque coyote]

A space wolf and a black Templar is given a copy of the codex astartes

The Space Wolf is confused and throws it away

The Black Templar simply says

"free toilet paper"

[languid meadow]

reading is for chumps

[rose thorn]

Space wolves are basically coded complaint too since all their units are renames of shit

[jade holly]

Iron Hands are too busy wondering if they can slap a 4th Mechadendrite on them

[opaque coyote]

I love how the Iron Hands have a Terminator armor that is

Basically broken

Like it leaks radiation

And it was basically just a pet project by Ferrus

Until Ferrus died and so nobody knew how to make the design not

Leak copious amounts of radiation

So then they worship it and use it

But only those with much more metal than flesh can

Because if a normal SM used it. They would eventually reenact how a thunder warrior felt

Honestly I kinda want Ferrus back just so that he could see his sons use it

And be like

"Y'know that leaks radiation right?"

"Yeah?"

"...you shouldn't use it"

"Oh we solved that problem"

"Oh how did you do it? Did you fix it?"

"No."

Steps out of armor and body is mostly steel

"Damnit guys."

Guilliman had a similar moment as well.

Basically all of his shit became chapter relics

Including mundane things like tables

So when he came back. A part of Calgar was annoyed at Guilliman using them so casually.

Despite the fact that he fully knows that it's his stuff. Of course he'll use it normally

[shrewd depot]

So I just read a quote and it sent me spiralling

"Gods create their own subjects, not the other way around."

The Chaos Gods were created out of mortal actions and emotions, without them the big 4 never come to be. So in that sense they are very much not true Gods

But then I wondered if a Daemon's worship counts

Cuse like, Khorne has the Skulltaker and seems pretty happy with him, so surely he must be empowering Khorne

So if the worship of their own daemons works like normal, then they can create their own subjects right?

[rose thorn]

got in a stupid argument about balancing with my partner

so we palyed warcry

and she won, because she outplayed me

even though she had a worst list

and then she said that 'you should have won because you had a better made list then me'

insanity

is this how old world players think?

[arctic talon]

Idk

I’m sure some people think that way

[rose thorn]

It’s so weird

[arctic talon]

Bad mindset to have tbh

[rose thorn]

i know uh, WHFB has a completely differnet list building system

so i have to think thats where it came from

but idk

[arctic talon]

It isn’t

This is just a mindset some people have

Lol

[rose thorn]

fair

[arctic talon]

It’s really prevalent in some competitive games

fighting games

[jade holly]

Alright I think I finally found a good name for this successor chapter

I wanted it to sound rotund and grotesque in a way

The Belching Wyrms

[rose thorn]

True lmao

[jade holly]

Like imagine a Salamander

With the durability of a Death Guard and none of that corruption chaos stuff

And they can breathe fire due to a mutation to their Belcher’s Gland

[rose thorn]

Rhis is a chaos one?

Those are called chaos warbands

[normal notch]

I love the space wolves
space Vikings

[jade holly]

Salamander

[tough haven]

I have successfully snuck flayed one analogues into the setting im writing for, and the dev is none the wiser (He hates 40k)

[tough haven]

The constant stereotype gets tiring though lol

[crystal forum]

huh, apparently adamantium is a natural resource

at least in the night lords book some dude finds raw adamantium ore

i always thought it was some manufactured thing

[soft thunder]

So are chainswords or other melee weapons/combat make you more effective against daemons in any way? Like by showing faith/no-fear etc?

A buddy of mine is trying to convince me of something vaguely along these lines and he has no source. Only the vague recollection of a reddit post from ages ago. Trying to find something that mind lend some credence or clarification to his argument, cuz I don't subscribe to it lol

[jade holly]

Well do you feel like the Doomslayer when you use it.

Do you feel the need to rip

And then tear?

[jade holly]

I might try to make the Word Bearers cool

But how tf do I do that

[opaque coyote]

Basically it's all about symbolism

It's also why shit like "holy fire" can hurt daemons

Swords have been longer than guns

And even races like the Eldar and Necrons still used swords

[jade holly]

What if I make a mirror of the Black Templars in the Word Bearers?

Just extra zealous

[opaque coyote]

Most word bearers are very zealous

Basically they're viewed as nutjobs even by their peers

Because they fully worship the Chaos Gods as

Well

Gods

Instead of trying to use Chaos as a tool

Or for their own purposes

[jade holly]

The war band I have in mind I called
The Hallowed Ones

Just not sure what that would entail

[soft thunder]

ya that's the crux of the argument, I think. That's seems unquantifiable though. Like w/ blessed bullets/weapons etc that grey knights used are all uber-daemon-killing tools w/ all the holy runes etc all over. I feel like if any material is going to address this in any way it's gonna be a gre yknight book.

[jade holly]

Quick name change

The warband is now called the Midnight Mass

[soft thunder]

That was a fun lil netflix series too iirc, Midnight Mass. Also the Hallowed Ones made me think of Halloween 🎃

[jade holly]

I’m not sure how well this could work lore wise

But visually I want them to look like a Word Bearer fused with a heresy mirror of an Inquisitor

[wild kite]

banger of a show

[jade holly]

And their entire purpose is to hunt down any in the Ordo Hereticus and spread their own religious propaganda

Something like this

Fused with a heresyified this

[opaque coyote]

I mean tbf it's kinda meant to be unquantifiable

Concepts and shit

But it's worth noting

Especially since Daemons are really into swords

Some of the most famous and ancient Daemon weapons are swords

And the Emperor wields well

A sword that permakills daemons

[thick cedar]

Considering the game flat out says this and the backstory is told from a meta perspective, could this actually have been the emperor?

[storm jungle]

The game says it in a in-universe kind of way

maybe it is him maybe it isnt, its not concrete

theres a ton of people in universe that say this exact same phrase when in reality its just them being nutty

[queen laurel]

Considering that it's also probably whispers from the warp it can also just be a demon pretending to be the emperor

or a shard of him

[shell mason]

head canon

who's to say the character didn't just, swipe the clothes like a blood raven

[rose thorn]

Wh-what if- the space wolves had uh, THOR! Yea give him a hammer that he can throw and teleport back into his hand!

What if they used, uh, healing powder!

Instead of medicine

How is it scifi? It’s actually nano machines!

[queen laurel]

Please no

[rose thorn]

These both are already things space wolves have

Also insane that space wolves have nano machines

[rocky gale]

Na it has to be more unique, he throws the hammer and then teleports to it

Actually might be a cool mechanic in the tabletop, ranged weapon that also puts you into melee

[rose thorn]

What’s his name teleports the hammer back to his hand sadly </3

[rocky gale]

Make it a stratagem, where teleport into melee with a unit you’ve shot at

[rose thorn]

Space wolves are written like a really poorly made homebrew successor chapter

Like wiki.fandom.homebrew40k

[queen laurel]

UlfthaK?

[rose thorn]

He’s in terminator armor

[queen laurel]

This guy also had like a teleportation ability in the novel being able to teleport his hammer on his hand but sometimes he just teleports near him

[rose thorn]

It’s kinda insane his rules are insta legends

[queen laurel]

yeah it's Fucked

even though like he's pretty good

[rose thorn]

I’m about to end up with 3 more units of preators watch

[queen laurel]

yeah these look nice

[green loom]

I wish you could marry one of the Werserians or something

[queen laurel]

what

Ed can i like get a reason?

[green loom]

They have a nice blue colour and Abelard is cool

[crisp heath]

Is healing powder supposed to be a viking thing?

[queen laurel]

Valid

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[green loom]

As are Astartia and the other lady I forget about

[green loom]

Just use healing gunpower

[queen laurel]

True True

[crisp heath]

Never heard of it tbh

[rose thorn]

We’re probably getting new fire dragons with the new fuegan

[jade holly]

Could the Operation missions be used for lore events where they need to be timed?

[rose thorn]

If not it would be the most GW moment ever

[jade holly]

Horrible wording

Lorewise will all operation missions have a time limit in them?

[fallen marsh]

And after leak, quick preview
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/9gcmddz9/fuegan-a-phoenix-lord-reborn/

[rose thorn]

That happened with the last leak too lol

[jade holly]

If only I knew who that was

[rose thorn]

Named guy of the fire dragons eldar

[fallen marsh]

It happens everytime

[jade holly]

I noticed he was too scrawny to be a Space Marine

[rose thorn]

weird that the red gobbo went from a communist to Santa claws

Clays

CLAUS

What ever

[jade holly]

Nah you had it right the first time

Don’t back out now

[rose thorn]

Kinda regret not getting uh

https://impulsecreations.com/cdn/shop/files/HJheK4pjXeifouvl_1024x1024.jpg?v=1701122304

But I can just buy him from a Russian website it’s fine

[rose thorn]

This guy specifically had AOS rules and not 40k rules

Which is pretty funny

[jade holly]

Saint Krump

Krumps ya and steals your prezzies

[versed ledge]

Ah the gretchin, the working force of the green skin, and often abused to the point of comical degrees.

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah it's the red gobbo specials

[versed ledge]

It makes one wonder if with proper propaganda and training, they could be used to cause a proper, successful, revolution, in ork society

[queen laurel]

Yeah well that's the point of the red gobbo but as you can see

That's not going to happen anytime soon

[versed ledge]

Yup

Red gobbo just became another tyrant for them

[rose thorn]

Do you think this red gobbo will have rules aren’t instantly legends?

[versed ledge]

He copied yarrick's style, but also imperial greed

[rose thorn]

Last year red gobbo on squig was comp legal

Last edition*

He was really bad tho lmao

[versed ledge]

Wouldn't he just blow up if in contact with the enemy?

[rose thorn]

Let me check

Who the fuck is grukk face rippa

What the fuck is skaks skull nobz

[shadow plover]

old Ork maincharacter™️

[rose thorn]

Why was he not legends in 9th

[shadow plover]

Think he was retired before 8th already

[rose thorn]

Wahapeida says he wasn’t legends in 9th

[shadow plover]

last appearance was in 7th

[rose thorn]

That’s so weird

[shadow plover]

he was part of the starter kit for it iirc

[rose thorn]

Ah

[shadow plover]

or some campaing book set

[rose thorn]

He gave Gretchen moral and also did 1d6 damage on a 4+ on charge

[queen laurel]

wait this was him?

[shadow plover]

yeah

[queen laurel]

so they turned his ass into a generic model?

[shadow plover]

happens to the best of us

[queen laurel]

yeah i suppose

[rose thorn]

Oh I didn’t know 10th edition orks lost the goff rokker

Even for legends

That’s weird

He wasn’t like bad or anything

[rose thorn]

I think you can still buy him

[queen laurel]

you mean this?

[rose thorn]

Yeah

He stuck around for 9th

Even after Christmas

[queen laurel]

i thought he was just like collectible you're not really supposed to use in the tablet top

just there for the novelty than you know actually use

[rose thorn]

Yeah but he was comp legal in 9th

He didn’t even get a legends

[queen laurel]

wait so he had actual abilities and stats?

[rose thorn]

Yeha

[rocky gale]

I’m dead

[rose thorn]

He gave strength and made an ability stronger

He was good

[queen laurel]

yeah but it didn't they going forward remove clans basically

in 10th edition it's just orks

[rose thorn]

Yeah, but all the clan dependent characters stuck around

I already forgot orks got their codex lmao

[queen laurel]

Yeah it's very weird like they didn't just like change his rules to fit the new enviroment or something

[rose thorn]

His model is gone on the store

Maybe this Christmas he will come back?

His hat is on the red gobbo model

[green loom]

🤔

[shadow plover]

it means he was killed by the red gobbo

so long

[queen laurel]

You would think it was gonna be one of the permanent things they would keep there because he looks good and hell they even went out of their way to give him a music video

https://youtu.be/8TiqiOexD-8?si=OPc6wCVESYmouwt-

[rose thorn]

Oh

I’d like for him to come back, he was a fun buff piece

Do orruks have many buff pieces left,

[shadow plover]

(probably not really, just spitballing)

[queen laurel]

Warchanter?

[rose thorn]

For 40k

My bad orks

[queen laurel]

I think one of the characters definitely do

[rose thorn]

The pain boy and boss

[queen laurel]

ye

[rose thorn]

The weird boy

Maybe this year we will get a Christmas genestealer cultist

Also I’m hoping that gsc aren’t terrible in uh, what 3 months?

When they rework their faction ability

[small grail]

new titan

or dreadnought action fig

[dusk patrol]

I appreciate how they basically just improved on his old model design

The barrel is still a bit much for me personally but I like his look largely still

[fallen marsh]

Yeah

I wonder how Asurman and Bahharoth will look

[dusk patrol]

Looking forward to Asurman and the rumored Warp Spiders Phoenix Lord

[fallen marsh]

yup

[dusk patrol]

I would assume Asurman will be similar

[rocky gale]

He’ll make a great Archon

[dusk patrol]

A nice update to his old model

Little better pose, more detail

Asurman also has a little more basic of a look than the rest

So I hope they add some pizzaz to it a bit

[fallen marsh]

I wish. Magun Ra direction wasn't that great. Asurman needs new pose for sure.

[dusk patrol]

Warp Spiders are what I’m looking forward to most

[queen laurel]

i love it with GW go goes out of their way to truly update models cuz Ghaz went from this

to this

[dusk patrol]

In general the vast majority of updates recently have been great imo

A couple like Coatez and the Sanguinary Guard aren’t it for me but mostly they’ve been amazing

Like Asmodai went from this

To this

[queen laurel]

yeah it's always fun if GW goes the extra mile

[fallen marsh]

I feel like they sometimes try way too hard to change and modernize the look. Thats when they usually end with updates like Coteaz

[dusk patrol]

Helbrechts is another good one

[hallow saddle]

Coteaz is unusually weird

I wonder if the brief was just off

Most of the glow ups are solid Ws

[rose thorn]

Guh the new eldar models are so good

[dusk patrol]

The guy who designed him too has designed good stuff in the past, I’m not sure what the problem was

Some stuff just doesn’t always hit I guess

[rose thorn]

I legit forgot he had a flame thrower sniper rifle

[dusk patrol]

It does look much better on his new model

Although that’s gonna be a good provider of glue sales

[jade holly]

Would Roboute Guilliman get a remodel?

Or is his up to date

[celest dome]

His isn't really old

Or in need of an update

[queen laurel]

no he still looks very clean

it's gonna be awhile until this is considered not up to standard

[jade holly]

Oh that’s what he looks like now

I remember seeing one that was smaller that had his helmet on

This one

[queen laurel]

this one comes with different head options

[jade holly]

Ah

Also I just realized something

Roboute may be inspired by Uriel

The Archangel

Or Michael

Or a fusion of the two

[rose thorn]

Hey chat do you think we will get a new army this edition?

Oh Wiat EC

I forgot they existed again

Okay better question

Do you think any of the armies released last edition will be finished

Or are they in foot hero hell

[queen laurel]

On what warhammer because like we got the votaan a while back

[celest dome]

Emperor Childrens are in 2025 iirc

[crystal forum]

not until the great primaris purge which will inevitably come

can't wait for people to suddenly start caring about suppressors when they're being removed

[storm jungle]

I mean bloat is bloat

if its needed then get rid of em

[crystal forum]

i agree

way too many primaris units

thankfully they cut back on captains by lumping them all together in 10th mostly

"captain with master crafted bolt rifle" used to have its own rule sheet in 9th lol

like why

[queen laurel]

Okay Dilara level with me here are non-Primaris marines still made right

Like in lore

[storm jungle]

Uhhh not that wide

all Chapters are getting into the Rubicon treatment

[crystal forum]

dont chaos marines still use the old method

[storm jungle]

well yeah but they are CSM lol

we are talking loyalists

[queen laurel]

Okay so non rubicon space marines are actually being replaced slowly but surely

I mean physically speaking they are better in every category

Same with the gadgets they are given for fancies

[crystal forum]

i never actually thought about if a firstborn can use shit like bolt rifles

[green loom]

Too large for their tiny hands

[storm jungle]

Its a gun. They can use it.

Its just tabletop > lore

[crystal forum]

ye

[queen laurel]

Okay so but in universe first born marines are slowly being replaced for the primaris right

[arctic talon]

Primaris and firstborn gear is used interchangeably in lore

[storm jungle]

Yes.

[crystal forum]

i dont remember if firstborn titus uses a bolter in SM2

i think he does

[arctic talon]

He uses a bolter

There’s a primaris in the armory

Talking about how he prefers a mcragge pattern bolter

[crystal forum]

i thought it was a bolt carbine because i think my ultramarine skin applied to it

[arctic talon]

And how he’s going to keep using it until he’s dead

[queen laurel]

I mean they are practically an upgrade in every sense of the word

[crystal forum]

bolter rolls off the tongue better let's be real

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah speaking of are the space marines you use in the co-op missions and pvp Primaris?

[crystal forum]

yes?

you cant even equip firstborn armour

[queen laurel]

The ones in space marine 2?

[crystal forum]

yes it's all primaris

there's a gravis and reivers too

bladeguard, intercessor

the only non primaris marines are during the prologue

including titus

the only non primaris related stuff you see after the prologue is occasional equipment like rhinos here and there

[dusk patrol]

PvP the chaos dudes aren’t obviously but everyone is for loyalists yeah

[queen laurel]

Good to know

[dusk patrol]

There’s already been some leaks for Corvus and Mk VIII helmets in the files

[crystal forum]

hell yeah

as close to HH as i'll probably get

[dusk patrol]

Idk how far they’ll go but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get most Mks as helmets at least eventually

[crystal forum]

btw i found it pretty cool that the night lords in the books use mk4

[dusk patrol]

Definitely MkVI-VIII

[crystal forum]

dont know how they managed to make mk4 last for millenia but they got their methods

[dusk patrol]

Yeah the a lot of traitors tend to use older hodge podge armor sets

The NL in the trilogy went that old technically

[crystal forum]

haha then when does it become mark 5

[dusk patrol]

For them the heresy was only a few hundred years ago time wise

[crystal forum]

is mark 5 only HH era hodge podge

[dusk patrol]

Part of why established legions like the Word Bearers and Black Legion are effective is they can commission and order actual new armor to be made by Dark Mek forges

A lot of Warbands have to make due

[crystal forum]

they talk about being on the run for millenia at the start

[dusk patrol]

And often will have loyalist armor they took from bodies

[queen laurel]

Yeah i guess that's one of the reasons why they are still successful even with the literal super marines running around that are basically better than the old ones being basically common place now

Like seriously how the hell does chaos keep winning when literal improved marines are running around now

[dusk patrol]

Chaos has other advantages too, and they mass produce marines a lot

Most BL legionaries won’t be impressive but they don’t care much

It’s very much trial by fire

The strongest rise to the top eventually

[crystal forum]

i always thought chaos marines used warp armour or something

like made of warp materials

[winter pine]

I forget if Dark Mechanicum guys bind daemons into power armor like that

[crystal forum]

like you cant tell me death guard fabricates their stuff

[shadow plover]

Deathguard mostly have whatever gear they had prior to their corruption

[winter pine]

Death Guard probably raids and steals it

[dusk patrol]

Some do

[crystal forum]

their armour is just flesh now lol

[dusk patrol]

We see in some books they literally grow their armor

[queen laurel]

Has there been cases in lore where they replace it because of damage or do they just like grow some weird pus covered bone protrusions on the damaged parts

[dusk patrol]

It’s more a chitinous shell

[crystal forum]

ye that makes sense since some CSM literally become part of the armour

[dusk patrol]

Generally they’re stuck in their armor after a while yeah

[shadow plover]

that's true too

[dusk patrol]

So sometimes it literally grows back

[crystal forum]

meanwhile thousand sons are the armour

can they make more thousand son suits actually?

[dusk patrol]

It’s also why Death Guard have to think carefully before choosing terminator armor since it’s a very permanent choice

[crystal forum]

what would be the downsides?

become tankier is a death guard's dream

[winter pine]

Probably tough to move around ever again once they're fused into it

[sullen hull]

I have a lore question. If Chaos and heretics are to be kept secret so how come regular hoomies are fighting it in Darktide? And not, let's say, Grey Knights? Space Marines kill witnesses so the heresy wouldn't spread

[queen laurel]

Honestly at some point i feel like they would just become adapted to it because it just like quite literally becomes their second skin

[crystal forum]

abaddon doesnt seem to mind always wearing one

[dusk patrol]

Slower

Harder to get around, at least for those who aren’t used to it

[green loom]

They're kept on the down low until it's convenient

[dusk patrol]

Some marines can move much better in terminator
