40k-lore-chat

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it's shown that most of the shots hit his chest and pauldrons with only one or two hitting the helmet

So either the SM was really lucky

Or the Multi-Las was bought from Temu

Probably both

I think it would've been neat if the SM like

Grabbed one of the poor fucking Cultists

And used him as an impromptu shield to absorb a bit more of the blows

Because 40k

[storm jungle]

That is mostly wank.

The marines are shown to be invincible so they get defeated by something absolutely alien and your perception of their invincibility gets lifted.

if they had no plot armor they'd have at least taken 1 or 2 casulties because the enemy was pretty well prepared for the most part

[opaque coyote]

I know that las fire can cut off limbs

But maybe the additional body would've dispersed to heat to the flesh instead of the cersmite

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think it would've been interesting to see one of them get injured before the Psyker twins

Not dead or anything

But like maybe one of the Autocannon shots managed to cause a wound.

[storm jungle]

yeah the autocannon i can kinda get since their pauldron tanks it but the multilas bit was really dumb

[opaque coyote]

Again

multiLas was bought off of Temu

I always thought that they should've done what I said before.

Intentionally use the cultists as meatshields

Grab one of them and force them to help tank the hits

It would show their brutality

Their ability to easily improvise

And how fucked up the Imperium is due to them immediately using an enemy as a God damn meatshield

[crystal forum]

animate it

[wintry scarab]

They took more. There is one bit where like 5 get taken out by the psykers. But yeah. None died by the soldiers.

[storm jungle]

I mean

"taken out" is basically stumbling down

i meant dying

[wintry scarab]

They did die didnt they?

one sec let me find it

[gray umbra]

if sms cant take headshots, can they take backshots?

[storm jungle]

BRUH

[crystal forum]

can you believe somebody made good stuff without having GW dictate them how to put their socks on

[storm jungle]

to be fair at that point it was a fan project so no GW oversight

now that he is taken by GW we havent see Astartes 2 for almost three fucking years now

[wintry scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7hgjuFfn3A 4:27, 2 die. 4:50 another dies.

[crystal forum]

he isn't any more dilara what do you mean

[wintry scarab]

Ok, so only 3 die but still. 3 die

[wintry scarab]

Also hasnt he moved on? I know hes doing his own project now.

[crystal forum]

he has a linkedin and everything

easy to find

[storm jungle]

Theres only 5 marines during the insertion, none of them die.

[storm jungle]

Also yeah he has stopped doing anything remotely related to 40k after the GW cease and desist

sorry I mean

uh

"being hired"

[crystal forum]

dilara he's not working for them anymore

[storm jungle]

I KNOW

I LITERALLY SAID THAT

Im gonna shoot you

[wintry scarab]

Oh, well those are some shit psykers for how threatening they look.

[crystal forum]

is your gun exalted?

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-gun-threat-point-gun-oh-no-gif-21611767

[wintry scarab]

Man, i never actually counted how many space marines acutally boarded in the short. Knowing none die to the psykers kinda really makes them feel a lot less threatening. Well that sucks and my day is ruined. 😦

[green loom]

Yeah even at the end

You can see the others teleporting in

[wintry scarab]

yeah

[storm jungle]

My job here is done

[crystal forum]

dont worry this chapter of space marines is just thunder warriors

i can make shit up because they have no lore

[storm jungle]

they have some

they are from Imperial Fists

[rose thorn]

I wonder how many mining charges they can take

[rose thorn]

^

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

probably like 1

[rose thorn]

That’s what chaos failed at, they didn’t use enough pickaxes

[low gazelle]

juist spammin

[rose thorn]

500 terrorists

[low gazelle]

yk what would be funny

two factions fighting in a hive city who think their outnumbered and gunned

so they just stick to hit and runs

Just 24/7 guerilla warfare

[rose thorn]

Genestealer cults are genetically made to be superior guerilla warfare fighters

A battle between catachan and gsc would be never ending

[low gazelle]

zola is a gene stealer cultist change my mind

[low gazelle]

yeaaaa

[rose thorn]

Our saint reductus saboteur is uncontrollably impulsed to make improvised explosives

It’s like beavers have mental break downs when’s they hear running water

[green loom]

She has (a little) hair

[rose thorn]

Not on my computer settings

[crystal forum]

I CAN SEE HER EVERY PORE

[arctic talon]

Like 1 or two at most lol

Mining charges are meant for obliterating rocks lol

[crystal forum]

i read on reddit that space marines can take melta charges to the head

[arctic talon]

That

Literally is not possible

Melta charges literally blow holes in super heavy tanks

When they get stuck on

Maybe if they have a refractor field ig

And it’s not stuck directly on

[storm jungle]

Reddit

[arctic talon]

Reddit moment

[outer wave]

As a fellow user of Reddit, I hate Redditors

I literally seethe at then showing off their latest funkopops

[lapis verge]

That is utter propaganda

Then again its Reddit

Where the collective stupidity of Man gathers and influences the Geller field

[opaque coyote]

So basically

Torture is actually fairly ineffective

Usually people just say anything to get it to stop

So I wonder how many times

-An Inquistor or Acolyte or whatever tortures somebody

-They say some bullshit

-Tortured gets killed, they go with the bullshit info

-They get sent to a death trap and all die

[crystal forum]

who prompted this

[opaque coyote]

Myself

The autism

[crystal forum]

string sentences together christ my screen is always filled when i come back

[opaque coyote]

Among us

[opaque coyote]

Idk man

I just think and words are typed

Sometimes not even the first part to be honest

Milk

🥛

[viral halo]

All I’m saying is a battlemech would kill a space marine

[opaque coyote]

I just wonder how many Space Marines, Guard, etc. would it take to take over the Earth

Modern Earth to be specific

[storm jungle]

Torture basically works in fiction for the sake of plot

so its unfortunately another "it doesnt matter" thing

theres a reason goons that get tortured just NEVER lie about anything

tho with 40k theres also the loophole of actually having people who can read your mind

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah true

I guess the reason why they don't just go to the mind reading firstly is just for some fun

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much.

Torture IRL is just more tricky and specific

people will say anything ot mak ethe pain stop but it can very much work just as well

some people just cannt/dont want to lie because they dont know these facts lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think my favorite subversion of this trope is in Justice League Unlimited.

Basically they tried torturing The Question for information. Asking him to tell "What he knows".

So he does. Everything he knows.

Basically he spouts out conspiracy theories

[storm jungle]

OH YOU MENTION JUSTICE LEAGUE

One of my fav interrogation methods from that

where Martian Manhunter is like

"Please try not to think of where your boss is hiding."

and the guy is like "OH NO"

he thinks it

instantly mind-read

[opaque coyote]

Yeah JL and JLU is a really good series of shows.

[storm jungle]

Its PEAK

[opaque coyote]

It's too bad DC hasn't really made a cartoon as good as it since then

[dusk patrol]

Cause people don't read lore.

Most do, its often only the youngest who only have one.

Left first once they become a full battle brother. The right one generally happens after at some point.

Its not

It’s their final initiation called the Rite of Severance, prior to that they don’t tend to have bionics at all.

After that how they get more bionics and why varies, and depends on a lot of stuff. When a IH dies his squad gets first dibs on his bionic and after it’s given back to his clan and spread amongst them as seen fit. So they have stockpiles of bionics with various purposes and uses which marines might earn or take.

Generally the hands are visibly bionic if they are, but not always and the rest of the body is basically up to the artists choice of how visible it is.

[opaque coyote]

Big axe

[dusk patrol]

Should be noted too this is from the heresy where their bionics process was very different, although they typically still did have two bionic hands at least.

[dusk patrol]

Very creatively called the Axe of Medusa. Generally given to the Voice of the Council, which has been Stronos for 3 centuries so it’s basically his.

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it looks like it's made out of a giant gear

Cut in half

[dusk patrol]

Its an Omnissian Axe.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah true

[dusk patrol]

Iron Hands uses them a lot, especially Iron Fathers.

For obvious reasons

I believe the Axe of Medusa has an AI in it which does funky stuff too but I can’t recall

[opaque coyote]

Hates AI

Uses weapon with AI in it

"Bro trust me it's a machine spirit bro"

Classic Mechanicus

[dusk patrol]

They have other AI too

They don’t really care

One of the clan Land Behemoths has a malevolent bloodthirsty AI in it they offer trophies too sate it

[opaque coyote]

"MY CIRCUITS YEARN FOR BLOOD."

"Hey yo check out this hive tyrant head."

"... SATIATED FOR NOW."

"wanna play cards?"

"...OKAY."

[opaque coyote]

Y'know this entirely unrelated to fucking anything.

But I always wondered why nobody tried making a zombie apocalypse happen in like

The 1920's

Like the military and society collapsing would make more sense there

I mean the Spanish flu happened back then. One of the deadliest pandemics in human history. And people... Kinda acted similarly to how we acted for the Coronavirus.

Except it was worse since it had a higher fatality rate.

Also no modern medicine

[dusk patrol]

There probably is

[opaque coyote]

Maybe, but it's probably some obscure book since usually zombie media takes place in the modern era/when it was made

Back on actual 40k talk now.

So apparently there is an instance of the flayer virus actually infecting tech priests that fucked around with infected Necrodermis

I wonder how much technology you need to get infected by it exactly

Like if you have a cybernetic arm. Does it just start punching you

[gray umbra]

i assume it would work like chaos scrap code and infect the rest of of you

[low gazelle]

How were the tau made?

someone told me they were made in order to basically prove a point of how bad every other faction is

[queen laurel]

you mean in universe or creative process?

[low gazelle]

universe

[queen laurel]

well there was the back story that they almost wiped themselves out until the ethereals came in and guided them

back then the imperium first saw them as cavemen

That were warring with each other

[storm jungle]

Shut up

I dont care, lemme have my breakfast in peace

[low gazelle]

good morrow

[low gazelle]

what a way to wake up

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/disinformation-misinformation-blasphemy-heresy-fake-news-gif-24734466

[low gazelle]

it is 2 am for me

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

It’s 4 am and someone tagged me and woke me up

[opaque coyote]

From Path of the Renegade:

"It appeared that the inhabitants of what came to be called Iron Thorn had been few and found themselves completely trapped in their sub-realm by the cataclysmic damage inflicted on the labyrinth dimension during the Fall. Some emergency or critical shortage of resources had forced them to take desperate measures to ensure their survival. In the end, either by accident or design, they had introduced a form of aggressively replicating nano-machinery into the environment of their sub-realm.

By the time the portals to Iron Thorn had been forced open by Vect’s forces no one could tell how long the tiny machines had been at work or what their original purpose had really been. It was only apparent that some weird strain of accelerated machine evolution had occurred over the centuries in Iron Thorn. The practical outcome was that the nano-machines had gradually converted almost everything in the sub-realm to a skeletal framework of pure iron.

The original inhabitants of Iron Thorn had survived after a fashion, although the curious machine half-life they exhibited bore little resemblance to that of their previous forms.The tyrant’s warriors had ruthlessly hunted down the ferric abominations and exterminated them wherever they could be found, but the altered beings had steadfastly refused to remain dead.

Eventually Vect had nominally incorporated the sub-realm into Commorragh simply to save face and sent his frustrated archons elsewhere to conquer more rewarding lands. Iron Thorn had become another of the many strange sub-realms of Commorragh that were generally shunned by the citizens of the eternal city.

Expeditions that entered such places were normally well-armed and of short duration."

[low gazelle]

skill issue

[small grail]

hard to see theses iron warriors like this

[dusk patrol]

It was a mix of Iron Warriors and Black Legion

And Iron Warriors are CSM like anyone else, there’s gonna be guys with a more standard chaos look

[opaque coyote]

They were forced into wearing the scho-

I mean legion colors

[low gazelle]

when my loyalist legion (my school bus) comes across a traitorous one (the school down a few blocks).

[opaque coyote]

Also to TLDR;

Basically there is an entire sub realm of Dark Eldar that basically turned themselves into bootleg Necrons

Which I find both cool

And also really funny

Because now I'm justing imagining some random Drukhari soldier

Firing their shardcarbine at the Iron Thorn Deldar.

The Deldar regenerating within a second

And the cycle just

Repeats

The Iron Thorn Drukhari just stands there because it's soulless and all that junk

[normal notch]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

[low gazelle]

I love this community so much

i never realized what's his name is former steel legion

[rocky gale]

If you're talking about Morrow you're going out the airlock

[crystal forum]

is he not?

[outer wave]

He does have the jacket

[crystal forum]

never noticed

genuinely

[outer wave]

He also talks about Armageddon

[crystal forum]

i thought most guard people do

[outer wave]

I hear more about Cadia than Armageddon

[crystal forum]

true

also i just noticed the info about some moebian pants say that their camo is blue because they were fighting on an ocean world for a long time

i never would have thought

[outer wave]

Holy shit actual ocean combat?

In my 40k?

[crystal forum]

full of floating hive cities to be precise

[rocky gale]

Yea the guys we see hanging around at the starting areas of some missions with the blue gear, that's them.

[crystal forum]

i thought the blue was just generic slightly unique guard uniform

but no there's actual significance to it being blue

[low gazelle]

"whats his name"

Morrow is a g bro

put some respect on his name

[crystal forum]

im not good at names

[celest dome]

Vincent Morrow I think

[rocky gale]

Our Vinnie

[storm jungle]

Vincent yeah

most normal name in existence

[celest dome]

https://tenor.com/view/you-were-serious-about-that-gif-15366934

[storm jungle]

damn now i gotta rewatch this movie

[opaque coyote]

Y'know

Once I die

I want my funeral to just play the most

ass music possible

So when my grave gets lowered, whoever's there is forced to listen to the worst songs made by mankind

and they can't fucking leave

because it's a funeral

[celest dome]

Pop goes the weasel is my choice, but play it ominously

[opaque coyote]

I know exactly what i'm playing in my funeral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o47N-aYd08&list=PLwlKwnMKgU7yUC8i5_8xG4d7eKe4vNQvI&index=4

There is actually a reason WHY it sounds so ass

There was a licensing issue and the guy who had to do the music had to redo the entire soundtrack in less than a week.

95% of the music in the game is complete ass

[near wasp]

I want carry on my wayward son to play at my funeral

[rocky gale]

While my guitar gently weeps (Love version)

That would get people all misty eyed thinking of me

and then I'd play Octopus's Garden

Leave everyone standing there like

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-4375529952616887689

If atleast one person doesn't ask "Is this the right song?" I've failed

[crystal stream]

Anyone here played Rogue Trader? Trying to understand how the trading reputation works but they don't have their own discord anymore

Basically, will highering my reputation with e.g. Quartz-Krame affect my trading possibilities with only him, or other Tech-Priests/an entire faction, or with everyone in the game? I'm just hesitant to trade my entire cargo to get a Modified Bolter, Metronome, and Psychic Bodyglove unless it'll also help me with other characters/factions in the future.

[outer wave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoujdXqptnc You reminded me of Kobo of the Two Strings

[rocky gale]

Regina's version is also good

Love that movie

[outer wave]

Same, its so underrated

Though I only watched it through once

[rocky gale]

I love every version of While my guitar gently weeps, but the Love version is just so peak

[outer wave]

I dont think Ive listened to it

However Im a huge sucker for eastern/middle eastern instruments being used in songs, so I have my doubts it'll beat out Kobo's version

[rocky gale]

https://youtu.be/NU4yWui_DFQ

[arctic talon]

You will increase rep with the entire faction not the individual person

[outer wave]

Yeah its pretty good

[crystal forum]

there's a bug when looking at stances that shows your current weapon instead of the default lasgun

which makes me wonder why tf the game dosnt just show your actual gun in hte stance

anyways i am now interested in moebian backstory

it's rare to see ocean world oriented regiments

[celest dome]

Cause then they have to make an interaction system.
Like what happen if you instead have a pistol

[opaque coyote]

Probably because of some weapons looking a bit more awkward

Like the Bolt Pistol

Of course they could model a different one where he just

Wields it with two hands

But Fatshark doesn't want to make an entire interaction system

And to be honest. I would like many other QoL features over that

Seriously why can't I get a better sight for some of these guns

Does the Omnissiah even ban editing the god damn sights

Or taping a flashlight?

[celest dome]

Balancing factors

[lapis verge]

lore bros I need an answer

Are the purple eyes of the Cadians inheritable by offsprings?

[storm jungle]

Yes. Its genetic.

And also magic-based but mostly genetic, since they are essentially passing off a mutation.

[outer wave]

Can Cadians have an over-expression of that allele?

Like their entire eye becomes purple instead of simply the iris?

[storm jungle]

Its just the iris as far as its been shown

[outer wave]

Got it

[rocky gale]

Can they shoot purple laser beams from their eyes?

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/xmen-97-cyclops-blast-x-men-97-xmen97-gif-13171159529621418943

[rose thorn]

The ad was ‘which one is warhammer 40k and project 2025’

[storm jungle]

[rose thorn]

it unironically quoted r/dankhammer lore

[storm jungle]

💀

[lapis verge]

So that means New Cadians cam still pass off the purple eyes?

nice

[echo marlin]

Have yall seen this lore excerpt xd
https://www.playdarktide.com/news/dukanes-journal

[storm jungle]

Average day in the office

[echo marlin]

ain't no way Dukane shit talked the rejects after we saved her, and the 53rd's ass, from a runaway train

[storm jungle]

I mean

thats how most military officers are

even IRL

pompous as fuck

Bitch doesnt know half the shit we get guts-deep into

[echo marlin]

Do yall think she's going to like

Be more of an ally or obstavle>

because im leaning towards obstacle

Like what is she on about regarding the warp corruption, lady you are fighting CHAOS SPAWN AND POXWALKERS what do you mean there's no warp corruption/chaos taint here

[echo marlin]

Very true🤣 \

[storm jungle]

Its very much Imperial copium since they cannot stomach being taken by surprise in their own capital world

[storm jungle]

As a playtester ill just say yall will see soon once we are done cooking.

[echo marlin]

You should see the officers over here, lots of them are scholars because of my country's policies. The young ones are (mostly) insufferable. the older ones keep to themselves

[storm jungle]

Yeah that is LITERALLY how most 40k officer branches are

[echo marlin]

True, true, even the House Leaders had to see a big ass phage tree, and not the, oh i dont know, millions of poxwalkers, 100s of chaos spawn and a friggin breast of nurgle running around before they were like "hm maybe we should back up Grendyl"

[storm jungle]

Yep the classic case like real life, people dont wanna bother with obvious issues until it strats threatening where they sit on the table so nothing new there lol

[opaque coyote]

I mean tbf she is literally employed to be mean

Shit talking is literally her job

[echo marlin]

Here's a funny question. Considering we've seen what a tzeentch incursion/uprising looks like with SM2, and a nurgle incursion look like with Daemonhunters and Darktide, how screwed would tertium be if instead of nurgle being the one to gain a foothold, Tertium got a Khorne or Slaanesh incursion xd

[storm jungle]

Yeah but still her being an blind bitch is not a requirement

not even Yarrick is like this

[opaque coyote]

True

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

Then again it also shows why Ciaphias Cain is so famous

Mainly because he isn't a complete asshole

He just thinks he is

[arctic talon]

Yarrick is like

pretty reasonable

💀

[opaque coyote]

Yarrick is serious but reasonable

He will at least ask questions before doing a punishment

[echo marlin]

I do like Dukane in the sense that Fatshark is showing us what the generic hard-ass unreasonable Commissar looks like in a video game. We dont really have a 'famous' generic commisar in books/media, the famous ones are all reasonable

[opaque coyote]

Which in 40k might as well be a fucking miracle

[echo marlin]

showing us the 'default' commissar and showing EXACTLY why the veteran rejects all hate commissars is refreshing

[opaque coyote]

Being a good Commissar is basically

The right balance between being tough

And being reasonable

Unfortunately due to the Imperium being the Imperium

Reason is very very hard to come by

[echo marlin]

are there actually any books about what a slaanesh incursion looks like xd

[opaque coyote]

In fact, Cain actually did try to desert in his first serious engagement.

He accidentally became a hero as a result

And also was the seed to plant his crippling impostor syndrome

[echo marlin]

I know theres a book, Legion of the Damned, that kinda shows what a khorne incursion looks like, it just kinda looks like 28 days later

[opaque coyote]

Because despite being a genuine hero. He still thinks he's that coward that decided to desert out of genuine fear

[arctic talon]

Sevrina Raine is pretty "generic" in terms of how she acts

[rocky gale]

Raine is the closest we have to default Commissar we got in the novels

[arctic talon]

she isn't as big as the other 3 though

Yeah

[rocky gale]

She's better though

[opaque coyote]

The Book Daemon World has an example of a city entirely dedicated to Slaanesh

Lemme post the long ass excerpt

Nvm too long I'll just link the fucking excerpt

https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/fm0vng/excerpt_daemon_world_what_a_city_devoted_entirely/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[crystal stream]

Thanks. Btw the modified bolter has lower dmg but 1 more rate of fire than the regular one on my Argenta. Is the extra bullet worth it?

[opaque coyote]

Y'all ever think this would've happened in like a feral world or whatever

"Ayo if I was there in that flying metal bird. I would've killed Horus with my boys. Me and the Emperor? We could've jumped him!"

The Sister just stares in utter confusion.

A guardsman whispers to her

Guardsman: "At least he's got the spirit?"

Sister: "Yeah it doesn't really count as Heresy. So I'll say it was a successful convert "

[arctic talon]

early game damagee matters more. but later on you want to maximize rate of fire

tldr normal bolter is better rn

[opaque coyote]

Btw is SM2 crossplay

I forgot if it was

[arctic talon]

yeah

[rocky gale]

But only for PVE

[nocturne crest]

Have there been any examples of the GSC turning on the Tyranids and winning?

[storm jungle]

Thats basically impossible so no, never.

[outer wave]

Never say never

[storm jungle]

[nocturne crest]

Wait, has there ever been a genestealer cultist inquisitor before?

[outer wave]

Id imagine they would get rooted out quickly before anything would happen

Not impossible though

[opaque coyote]

There has been instances of the GSC realizing that

"Oh shit we've basically been worshipping our doomsday"

And fighting back

But even then, when that happens, that means the Tyranids are confident enough to forgo the whole connection thing.

And that they think that victory is inevitable

And usually it is

Of course, some GSC freely jump into the spawning pits.

In general the reaction varies

[arctic talon]

You can also become a rogue trader who has relations with an Eldar just like one of your ancestors. Also reactions from both Heinrix and Yirlet

[opaque coyote]

To be fair I doubt many burials in the Imperium are up to code

Usually they don't even get a burial

I honestly remember a scene from like

A fucking Project Zomboid video of all things.

Where they held a mock funeral for somebody because it's a one life event. They were standing on somebody else's corpse

And they said

"Is this even his body?"

"It is now"

And now I really want to make that scene for Guardsmen lmao

Because they couldn't find their friend's corpse. They just dragged some other random guardsman and used his body for the mock funeral

[arctic talon]

Yeah but this is aboard a rogue trader ships crypt lol

[opaque coyote]

Must be one of the highest honors lmao

Especially for a Xenos

[arctic talon]

Tbh I’m surprised you can’t loot a soul stone from the coffin

You can take a long rifle though

[opaque coyote]

I guess out of respect since uh

I'm pretty sure at least one of the Eldar companions would tell you

[arctic talon]

I mean

[opaque coyote]

"Oh yeah the soul stone? Prevents us from being eaten by chaos. Please don't fucking break it"

[arctic talon]

Yirlet trusts you enough in comorroagh

To let you grab the farseer trapped in the drukhari board game

[opaque coyote]

Idk maybe the Drukhari would encourage you

Because Drukhari moment

"BREAK THE SOUL STONE. DO IT. IT WOULD BE REALLY FUNNY."

[arctic talon]

Giving it to the eldar on Janus

Would prolly be the best decision

[opaque coyote]

Ye

[arctic talon]

But it doesn’t let you nab it

You can give Yirlets soulstone if you kill her in comorroagh to the farseer

[opaque coyote]

Also I'm now imagining like

A guardsman like finding a soul stone

And then idk using it to do something stupid

"Hey Jeff! Catch!"

[arctic talon]

This has happened before

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

It usually ends up with dead guardsmen

[opaque coyote]

True

[arctic talon]

If they don’t hand over the shiny stone

[opaque coyote]

"Go ahead, kill me you filthy Xenos. You still have to dig through my ass to get it."

• Guardsman Jeff last words

[opaque coyote]

Imagine if you just eat it right in front of them

Sure you would doe

But it would be really funny

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Cutting someone open isn’t that bad for an aspect warrior

They worship khaine lol

[opaque coyote]

True

[arctic talon]

The bloody handed god of murder

[opaque coyote]

Khaine is just

Slightly below Khorne in

Insanity

[arctic talon]

Khaine encourages torture unlike khorne(generally)

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I feel like they would be friends if they weren't completely anathema to each other

[arctic talon]

The craftworld eldar just ignore that part

Generally

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I always found that part a bit weird cause like

What is the limit of spilling blood to the point where it counts as torture

[arctic talon]

Khaine is the god of cruelty

As well

[opaque coyote]

So if I cut off someone's arm, and they're alive and screaming in pain. Would that count?

[arctic talon]

The aspect warriors generally avoid that part

On the otherhand drukhari incubi

Are big fans of the whole torture part

[opaque coyote]

I mean it's not like Khaine can be mad at them

Because

Uh

He ain't exactly whole

[arctic talon]

Sharded

[opaque coyote]

And also I'm at least 90% sure a good chunk of his shards died

With how much the Beast of Khaine gets

Fucking worfed

Wait if a Beast of Khaine dies, does the shard break?

Or does it just go to somewhere?

[arctic talon]

it just goes back to the craftworld

[crystal forum]

i cant believe neo volkite is being added to SM2

i am so happy

[opaque coyote]

what if the craftworld fucking explodes

[arctic talon]

idfk

prolly to another one

[opaque coyote]

which happens a lot because

gav thrope

[arctic talon]

He has not blown up a craftworld

(yet)

[echo vault]

reminding everyone about the variation of plasma gun fatshark is too scared to add

bear witness to the beauty of elysia!

[opaque coyote]

I honestly think we need a fucking

auto shotty

[echo vault]

So when it means self loading are we adding clips of shotgun shells ( like garand, other rifles but shotgun) or just plugging in more shells like a regular gun up top

im stupid i imagined the loading in my head bruh

[charred jewel]

wtf. The accatran isn’t automatic?

[echo vault]

I mean maybe they're different variations to the ones in darktide since there are 3 different marks

[crystal forum]

these guard weapon sheets mean jack shit because the artists wrote whatever gun buzzwords they could think of

do not take them at face value

"photonic hydrogen" literally is incomprehensible

(also guard having a two man operated heavy bolter yet not having a single man operated heavy stubber despite it fitting perfectly in the WW2 british theme no less is still dumb)

[paper haven]

You mean that the weapons design for this game often comes across as though the writers have no idea how weapons work? Say it isn't so.

[crystal forum]

not darktide

[paper haven]

"This game' meaning 40k in general.

[echo marlin]

Question. Would our Darktide psykers all technically just be telekinesis/divination users

[paper haven]

Darktide actually has some sensable designs.

[echo marlin]

I’m tryna make a dark heresy campaign and I got bored and I was looking through the spell lists

[crystal forum]

darktide is a hyper realistic shooter compared to most 40k media

[paper haven]

I've spent the last two weeks trying to build an Only War campaign as well. Fun times.

[crystal forum]

would be funny if vet gets a grenade launcher before a melta gun

i would do anything for a power fist though

i want to punch my enemies

or plasma pistol actually

[queen laurel]

they seem to be a mix of pyromancy and Biomancy

pyromancy because we use a lot of warp fire

[misty vector]

Still kinda want veteran to get the flamer

[queen laurel]

and Biomancy has a technique that is bio lightning

And we do use a lot of that

and smite is also biomancy

oh also telekinesis

[opaque coyote]

I have no idea why Biomancy is called

Biomancy

Like you're telling me that shooting lightning

is somehow related to the body

[queen laurel]

humans have a bioelectric spark running on their body

They just magnify it and shoot it at someone

[opaque coyote]

That spark must be magnified by like a thousand

[crystal forum]

me too but fatshark sucks

[opaque coyote]

I guess that's what the warp does to you

[queen laurel]

yeah and psykers can be crazy powerful

[crystal forum]

i've never met one

a guy told me he could kill me with his mind once but i think he was a crackhead

[opaque coyote]

I want the Vet to get a Las-Lock

[echo marlin]

Scriers gaze is Divination as well i think

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, y'know how Genestealers use Mining Lasers

And how the Ogyrns have pickaxes

[echo marlin]

Damn our reject's psykers are pretty talented huh

[opaque coyote]

Just have the Ogyrn use a mining laser

[misty vector]

Ooh whats that?

[queen laurel]

yeah honestly psykers in darktide are just a hodgepodge of psychic divinations

[opaque coyote]

Laser Musket

[queen laurel]

so there's not really a concrete way to build them

[opaque coyote]

Literally just a fucking laser musket

[crystal forum]

single shot lasgun

[echo marlin]

I want Ogryn to get a lascannon

[misty vector]

Thatd be interesting lol

[opaque coyote]

Basically a more powerful shot in exchange for rate of fire

[misty vector]

Return to the vt2 handgun

[opaque coyote]

however we technically have that with the Helbore

Unfortunately the Helbore is kind of stinky last time I used it

no idea how the recent(ish) update made it

[crystal forum]

futuristic martini henry in the making

my favorite era of gun bullshitery

[opaque coyote]

I mean yeah but I feel like the mining laser would fit the ogyrn a bit more

Due to how most of their weapons are makeshift as fuck

[echo marlin]

Hell yeah mining laser would be cool

[crystal forum]

multi melta

ripped off a leman russ

[opaque coyote]

real

although most of the time, GSC use them

probably cause the multiple arms help

still tho no reason for an ogyrn not to use one

[crystal forum]

im pretty sure this thing is just a melta gun stat wise

[opaque coyote]

I mean it would be like one

Shooting a big fucking laser

effectiveness going down

from farther ranges

I could imagine it'd have to have a charge up time

also ogyrn uses pickaxes

so

Might as well complete the mining set

[echo marlin]

real talk why tf does zealot not have that flamer with a chainsaw bayonet

[misty vector]

Probably like a heat mechanic too

[echo marlin]

you know the one

[opaque coyote]

"It's not Call of Duty"

Basically Fatshark did plan for attachments but cut it

for

some reason

[echo marlin]

no its actually part of the miniature

[opaque coyote]

again idk

maybe they're planning to add attachments back and make it so that the chainsaw bayonet returns

[opaque coyote]

I hope

[echo marlin]

fuck yeah

gimme DAT fatshark

[opaque coyote]

although I have to wonder how tf would you even use it

would you like

use the flamer as a smacking tool?

[misty vector]

The long flamer…

[opaque coyote]

cause most bayonets jut out to stab people with, this one doesn;t

you probably have to wield the flamer like a really

really cumbersome sword

[misty vector]

Would it be useful to try and use the chainsaw when youre already holding a flamethrower lol

[shell mason]

Hey

remember Morty has hair

[celest dome]

Vindictor Flamer would have to be a separate weapons and not simply an attachment

[shell mason]

Black hair and Amber eyes

[celest dome]

Even with the unearthed attachment system

[shell mason]

morty has very pronounced cheek bones

[celest dome]

Atm of the main discipline the only one not used at all is the Telepathy one.
Demonology and Theology ones (forgot their exact names) are also not ysed

[shell mason]

honestly what aesthetic do you take that morty has?

grosssteampunk?

[queen laurel]

yeah true

the psykers use four of the psychic disciplines

[shell mason]

yet i remained ignored

fucking crazy

[queen laurel]

except telepathy because i don't really know how you can implement it

[full bane]

Brain Burst is kind of telepathy adjacent.

Though instead of the whole killed-their-mind aspect it has a more biomancy looking "I blew up their heads" result

[queen laurel]

i see it as more like Biomancy

[full bane]

Any sort of confusion effect that makes enemies attack a decoy or each other would be a decent way of showing off telepathy

[queen laurel]

wouldn't the shriek the Telepathy one

[full bane]

Psychic Shriek, yeah that's a good point.

That is one the iconic Telepathy abilities

[queen laurel]

yeah but other than that i don't think telepathy has other skills

[celest dome]

Dominate and Puppet Master could be nice abilities, turn enemies against each other

[celest dome]

Telekinesis.
It's Crush

[queen laurel]

that will be a fun way to have a summoner class now that vermintide they have a necromancer

[celest dome]

I don't see it as summons.
It's more a temporary thing you're using till it's dead

Hallucinations could also work as a more defensive one, creating clones of yourself that pull some of the aggro

[queen laurel]

yeah but it's basically a way for you to implement a minion mechanic

would be very fun to have a crusher as a bodyguard

[celest dome]

Pet classes I really would want to see are Cyber-Mastiff, Servo Skulls and Servitor

[celest dome]

I don't think you ought to be able to keep them, either they would die after a fixed time, or turn back again

[queen laurel]

Could work for a Skitarii Renegade class or something

[celest dome]

Just that Skitarii doesn't work well

Tech Adept

As for the Mastiff I'd see it as the ability for a new branch on the Zealot

[shell mason]

this bitch been too quiet

[rose thorn]

Hey chat

[queen laurel]

wassup

[plush mason]

arent the drill-abbots the ones that run the scolas?

[echo marlin]

Personally I want psyker to get more pyromancy abilities

Technically using the inferno staff isn’t considered using pyromancy spells right?

Imagine if instead of telekine shield we got Wall of Fire

[queen laurel]

i mean it is

if you're doing only abilities that you fire with your hand

then of course no but

[echo marlin]

Or just make crushers spontaneously combust with Fire Storm

[queen laurel]

it would be unfair do not include the staffs

[echo marlin]

Oooooh well, I always thought how it worked was like

Psyker disciplines are the spells each psyker can cast without staffs

Staffs allow psykers to channel generic warp energy into whatever

So they don’t need to be proficient in that discipline

[queen laurel]

yeah it's just given to specific move sets for gameplay

Basically them using that type of attack on the staff is still them using the discipline

[echo marlin]

Right right

That’s true

I remember I managed to pull off a pyromancy/telepathy psyker once during a dark heresy campaign

Actual busted

I love how psykers operate in Dark Heresy tbh

Early levels are hell, because you’re probably like, new to using your psyker powers, you suck at them, you’re probably gonna mutate or blow up

Then after you level up, if you survive (unlikely) you become an absolute god

[celest dome]

Most of the time yes

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/2/2e/Drillabbottpg_88.jpg

Big hamma

[plush mason]

the idea of one of them being an inquisitor makes me laugh lol

[storm jungle]

to be fair

an Inquisitor can literally be anyone

[plush mason]

i know

[storm jungle]

do you

[plush mason]

still funny, especially because you can have a sister of battle in your npc retinue

oh and i guess the crusader would also have been in the scola

so the idea of the drill abbot's retinue being his former wards in the scola is neat

[celest dome]

||Term and restrictions may apply||

[celest dome]

Crusader aren't really linked to the Scholla

[plush mason]

wasnt sure

[rose thorn]

Another day another guard vs ork book

[queen laurel]

what

[queen laurel]

oh

[storm jungle]

its such a weird choice too

[celest dome]

Hey GW not going out of their confort zone isn't weird

[arctic talon]

Idk I feel like guard vs nids would be more generic

Esp since it’s leontus

[storm jungle]

yeah but its the 4th fucking Tyrannic War

its kinda the point

[crystal forum]

ngl this is my personal opinion but this is one of the ugliest book covers i've seen in 40k

[rose thorn]

doenst this book take plac eback when not alexander was younger?

[crystal forum]

the weird mix of photorealism and 40k style armour

it looks derpy

like a guy cosplaying

[rose thorn]

The skies of Fortuna Minor are illuminated briefly by a saviour pod making its flaming descent as the Imperial fleet in the void above retreats, beaten back by Orkish cunning. Those stranded on the planet are forced into labour by one of the many Speed Waaaghs! overrunning its surface, with no salvation in sight. But the person who emerges from the saviour pod is no ordinary man – he is the legendary Arcardian Leontus, Lord Solar of the Segmentum Solar, and he still intends to win this war against the Orks. Rob Young’s Leontus: Lord Solar is available to pre-order next week in a glorious special edition that is fittingly lavish for one of the Lord Solar’s rank.

[rose thorn]

CHAT I FOUND THE AD

[rocky gale]

Wow

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/jqdg03uc/sunday-preview-please-be-upstanding-for-the-lord-solar/

It's literally just the Limited edition of the book

Nothing else for Preorder

Something big's coming

Oh wait it'll just be the Christmas Battleforce boxes

[languid meadow]

His face is weird but I love his armor

[storm jungle]

Thanks I hate it.

[rocky gale]

Didn't realise Warp Zone was still a thing tbh

I only remember them as the people who occasionaly did parody songs based off shows and games

[rose thorn]

I hate that space marine 2 released in the worst era of the internet

Lmao

[rose thorn]

It’s such a bad ad

It hurts

[green loom]

lel

[paper haven]

He's doing his best sah

[rose thorn]

i swore one of y'all really liked seraphon

but cant remember who

[storm jungle]

this chat's geosphere is too diverse i cant remember either

[rose thorn]

lmao

[paper haven]

Who is seraphon?

[rose thorn]

age of sigmar lizard aztecs

whos image quality is dog shit for no reason

is it because of teh scales??

[rose thorn]

aztec lizards with dinosaurs and space sun cannons

w/ funny alligators and skink friends

[storm jungle]

rip spain

[rose thorn]

fr

they really need a pov book tbh

anyway im tyring to find out how the fuck do seraphon like

talk or have a society at all

they got retconned in 2nd edition

and are now are living creatures (mostly)

and the lex isnt up to date

[storm jungle]

they actually got a lot of side-rpg lore explaining the shit they do

its best if you ask the AOS lore subreddit

[rose thorn]

fair

[storm jungle]

i remember reading they got fucking embassies and shit

[rose thorn]

yea

they have scholars in hammerhal

and theres alot living under excelsis??

they appeared during siege (what ever fucking number) and then disappeared

leaving teh fucking freeguilds really fucking confused

sigmar bless excelsis, its gotta be my favorite city

[storm jungle]

yeah lizardmen are pretty livin' it up in AOS they just need more lore in general they are kinda underbaked

[rose thorn]

honestly their model line is peak, they only really have 1 unit that looks bad

sadly its their most important one lmao

[storm jungle]

LOL yeah

[rose thorn]

okay aos discord answered my question

on how the fuck skinks talk

they just do

they are the only ones besides old ones that can talk talk

[rose thorn]

funfact, sauruses speak sign language

the old ones just, forgot to give them the ability to speak??

apparently?

[storm jungle]

its for plot reasons its FINE

https://tenor.com/view/talk-lizard-ironic-gif-25847938

[rose thorn]

LMAO

the top meme factions in aos gotta be seraphon, skaven, ossiarchs, and gloomspite lmao

ossiarch orFEC

[green loom]

They can say "Bok!"

[crystal forum]

the only fan we dont have here is votaan fan

you dont have a book

[crystal forum]

aquilons have really replaced elysians huh

[arctic talon]

not really on the tabletop

you can't run them as battleline

[crystal forum]

maybe not yet

[arctic talon]

Elysians upside was you could deepstrike the entire army

but no tanks

[crystal forum]

people do whole scion armies

[arctic talon]

Yeah

but you can't run only aquillons

you need an HQ

[crystal forum]

we'll see

[arctic talon]

unless we get an aquillon command squad

and Scions get a deepstriking vehicle

they won't play like Elysians

[crystal forum]

would be fucking awesome

[arctic talon]

they'd play more like D-99

[crystal forum]

aquilons look cooler than elysians

[arctic talon]

then normal elysians tbh

Since D-99 are carapace armored and more elite

[crystal forum]

what are D-99

[arctic talon]

Detachment 99

[crystal forum]

sounds like a star wars thing

never heard of it

[arctic talon]

a spec ops team of elysians

they're from FW like the rest of the Elysian range

[crystal forum]

arent all elysians forge world

[arctic talon]

yeah

[crystal forum]

ye

[arctic talon]

well the sentinel wasn't

[crystal forum]

im not seeing elysians returning

[arctic talon]

until they released an elysian sentinel

[arctic talon]

prolly not till GW gets through the low hanging fruit

imo

Krieg, Catachan and then like

idfk

Steel Legion/Mordians/Vallhallans/vostroyans

pick one

[crystal forum]

steel legion probably has the most appeal

i dont like people saying you can kitbash krieg into steel legion

the other way around would work

but you cant fucking remove the gas mask and make goggles instead

[arctic talon]

tbh

The 2 most likely I see are Steel Legion and Vallhallans

[crystal forum]

why valhallans

[arctic talon]

Ciaphas Cain

[crystal forum]

as much as i love them they're barely known

[arctic talon]

also they sold decently well

mordians never got actual "modernish"

minis

And Vostroyans sold so badly they got pulled after like 2 years

[crystal forum]

lol

i wish valhallans return

but i also have proxies which are 10000 times better than anything GW would ever make

just for the rules though

[jade holly]

Is there a successor chapter of White Scars that are just pure bikers?

Like with armor painted like a hot rod?

[idle knoll]

why didnt they sell?

[shadow plover]

Niche among niche

[arctic talon]

Cadians, Steel Legion and Catachan way more popular. They costed more then those older sculpts + Siege of Vraks and Death Korps of Krieg came out literally like 3 months later

Oh also some of their minis were pewter

now granted those were some of the best damn pewter minis GW ever made

but it wasn't financially viable for GW to keep on making them

[idle knoll]

A shame. Imo they look quite cool

[lapis verge]

I fail to see how people not buy into Vostroyans ngl

Ironically I don't like Catachand cause they are literally Rambo ripoffs

[arctic talon]

I don't get it either

I love them lol

[proven needle]

You can just invent your own?

[wintry scarab]

Watching some video about a nazi roblox cult and this is the bird they used as a substitute 💀

Also i just want to make sure im not crazy. Getting this sort of tattoo is like one of the dumbest things you could do. To a 40k fan its cool, to a normal person, youre a nazi.

[shadow plover]

yeah it is probably not the best tattoo to get

[proven needle]

To be honest, also as a fan I would worry when meeting a person with such a tattoo.

[queen laurel]

one time there was a person here that kept denying that claim

And it was just an argument upon argument of trying to tell that person that what he was saying is stupid

[wintry scarab]

I have a friend with a bunch of anime tattoos and i feel similar to that. Not my place to judge but i just know in the future its going to be a major regret.

Maybe its just me but if i saw someone with a massive anime character on them, my first reaction would be to stay clear.

[queen laurel]

It's one of those things where it can really depend sometimes a person just likes the character or something but like yeah you are also a bit warranted to avoid them because some of them are not the best

this is the same for me when it comes the black templar fans

Like yes they are people and there are good ones but like there is a reason why there are memes of them being atrocious

[wintry scarab]

But then again, if it genuinely makes someone happy then good on them.

[gray umbra]

Imperium of mankind has pretty cool tattoo designs but its hard to find one that doesnt make you look like a ss enjoyer

Im debating getting a mechanicus one on my wrist

[crystal forum]

an inquisition "I" would be cool

[gray umbra]

But otherwise going chaos

Darktide has one really cool design with the pauldron on one shoulder and the checkerboard pattern on the bicep

[rocky gale]

Surely nothing would go wrong if I got the Tempestus scion symbol tattooed on myself

[crystal forum]

get it right on the forehead

[gray umbra]

Get the inquisition eye tattoo right on your scalp/forehead

[celest dome]

While I would consider anime tattoo to be quite cringing, I wouldn't have such a strong reaction.
Just a not my style reaction.
Though depend on what is depicted

[gray umbra]

And then when you donate hair to charity you can have a interesting conversation

[rocky gale]

Gotta get it on my palm so everyone I wave at can see it

[gray umbra]

For me its just like how would i explain to someone the huge anime bazongas

[crystal forum]

you know what you enjoy

[gray umbra]

My tattoo, i can just be like its the ourboros and means infinity

Meanwhile the thousand sons

[rocky gale]

I’ll draw a 1 in front of it so it looks like 100

[rose thorn]

Once in a blue moon event; a good old world model

[crystal forum]

this is old world?

looks AOS

[gray umbra]

Hey its barding

[rose thorn]

Because it’s a good model, depending on how the sprue looks I might kitbash him

[wintry scarab]

Well yeah, obviously. Something like a small symbol is different then a full manga panel (my friend has a full manga panel). At least in my eyes. To me, i think it boils down to it just being a factor of how its viewed by others/the public and the personal significance it has to me.

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[tough haven]

The full manga panel

https://tenor.com/view/solid-snake-metal-gear-solid-scared-solid-snake-gif-26553659

[queen laurel]

Looks like a good Duardin kit bash

[jade holly]

Yeah I asked because u didn’t want to rip off something that already existed

[wintry scarab]

Tbf, i may be calling it the wrong thing but its like an image of the character. One of those images that like takes up the whole page.

[rose thorn]

New whisper-merchant

Uh

Hm

It’s a

An accurate model

Lore wise whsiper merchants are basement dwellers that steal your data and sell it

Which xenos do you think is gonna get a designated book next?

[rocky gale]

More Deldar

[rocky gale]

Cool model, unfortunately fw resin though

[rose thorn]

Lmao

I have no fucking clue what’s wrong with FW resin

Like no other resin is anywhere near as bad as FW resin

For a quarter of the price

[shadow plover]

modern FW is pretty stellar to be honest

and the issue is more so with overused molds than the resin itself

[rose thorn]

Ahh

woke

How dare they

Combat's a bit choppy but still enjoyable enough

I’d be interested in it

Love LOTR

Only elves use bows

Dorfs use their fellow dorfs as projectiles

also crossbows

cough

[celest dome]

Also guns

Getting ready to argue on reddit

[rose thorn]

Someone who’s never played Warhammer about to correct someone for being a lesbian:

[storm jungle]

I hate it but its true

[rose thorn]

Weird they didn’t show the screens on the model

[idle knoll]

I dont get it

whats one thing got to do with the other

[dusk patrol]

It’s a joke

[storm jungle]

That most online 40k users are bigots

which is... more or less true

so

[idle knoll]

but it says someone whos never played warhammer

[forest orbit]

I assume mag meant it in that most online 40k users also never actually play the game

which yeah also true lol

[gray umbra]

Theres tons of lore nerds

Or people who only play the games

Because admittedly the hobby itself is expensive

[arctic talon]

tbh

I don't mind if people don't play the tabletop

I just don't like people repeating memelore

or

reddit

[gray umbra]

I only got into the tabletop recently tbh. Turned out painting minis was actually kind of fun

[rocky gale]

Yea it's not really just "They don't play the game", it's more "They aren't actually invested in the Hobby" be that they don't play, collect or read

[storm jungle]

Its more that the majority who dont play it act like uh

whats the word just... acting as if they got any leverage over what GW does/boycott them w/e tf

which is kind of sad in many levels 💀

[arctic talon]

boycott warhammer(custodes CP instantly sold out on launch)

[storm jungle]

KEK

Yeah a lot of people forget the majority of warhammer players literally do not give a shit.

They see cool toy, they buy cool toy. Simple as.

🗿

[arctic talon]

Last GW gave us data on who was buying stuff

over 60% just bought it to paint them lol

[rocky gale]

Boycotts against GW just don't work because...

https://tenor.com/view/brinasgift-gif-25784468

Like the Blood Angels new releases were awful, most people agreed they were awful. But you still saw people on Reddit buying 15 boxes of the new Sanguinary Guard

Me casually blowing 180 dollars on chaos cp at comicon

Oh wait

[storm jungle]

[hallow saddle]

boycotting GW doesnt work cause most of their models are so good

[storm jungle]

LOL

Well its more that the larger majority of the fandom does not give a shit. But that checks out too

[queen laurel]

well

[rocky gale]

Even the bad models will end up being someones favourite

and they'll buy 30

[crystal forum]

boycotting works when it's not 5 gamers who are just mad and stop buying stuff

[hallow saddle]

yeah thats true

[gray umbra]

I have to buy chosen, havocs, a rhino, 2 chaos lords and a cypher to finish my chaos army 😦

[hallow saddle]

boycotting works when its more than 1% of the "fandom"

[rocky gale]

Or the Meta will slightly change and all the wanabe pro players will buy 12 boxes of the new meta build model

[hallow saddle]

(the people who are upset arent even customers)

[rocky gale]

Remember when GW accidentally made Plasma Inceptors 15 pts cheaper due to a rule oversight and all the Pros went out and bought 9 boxes of them and then raged when GW realised their mistake and fixed the Pt cost a week later

I remember

[hallow saddle]
