Yeah like try looking up an anime that aligns with what you like
so you're saying i should binge the entirety of one piece
I think one piece is good, but I dont like the lack of consequences and amount of plot armor
and how comedic it is at times
F*** no

Fuck no
It has more episodes then the manga has chapters so far
One piece is longer than your love for the guard
No
Ayyyyyyyy
Its goooooood tho
Im being sarcastic, fuck One Piece
How about you get this f****** brick i have on your skull

IM FIGHTING U
SQUARE UP

Yeah that's about to be a slaughter because i'm going to be tag teaming with the dilara
Dilara face reveal??
It's two in one man you are not going to win
IK U WERE A CAT
the signs were all there
I thought you were like skarsnik but i guess that's my bad
Warden should pick 3 people from the discord and then do a tournament with them 
Yeah, Dilara was always a cat
Explains her usually sunny disposition kek
Warden's team against other Wardens
shut up siggarette
Understandable have a nice day
Who would you pick Dilara ?
Uhhh
Five. Hundred. Siggarettes.
Who are your favorites 
trying to be a favorite child
Skelly prob and also Incan, he'd fold fast but i got faith
oop wrong eply
Both are Wardens though
I cant believe I was called out
exactly
😔
To be honest with your brutal turkish strength i feel like you will basically wipe the floor with every warden
It's Warden's team against other Warden's team
all i know is i had friends in my first year of highschool who were into one piece and it's still going
Dilara solos this one no diff
Never met a one piece fan that smells good
Can see the stink lines coming off of them
IM right here
SNIFF ME
WITNESS MY FRAGRENCE
dilara being ridiculously ripped is a good thought
Oh that explains the wiff of stale nut in the air
every turkish citizen has to bench press 300 pounds minimum
dont forget to pay your taxes
Hakan my goat
I owed the state of new jersey 1 dollar in taxes last year
shoutout to my accountant
I actually dont pay mine
It’s discord mods, the competition is who can manage to not run out of tendies for energy first
Yeaaaaaa its insane how much you can knock off
Yeah but after coughing up tar for a month straight i feel much better without it
Still tho, cigarettes and mcdonalds are the best weight loss program
i miss chewing tobacco the most
I take nicotine pouches since i cant vape in my office
There is zero chance Hasan piker can bench 225
I don't smoke (and don't plan, used to have Asthma), but I'm trying to find some weed to make space cakes, and I don't knowhow to find any 
Fent > weed
had to quit zyns, was ripping through tins like candy
Im getting there
Instant nicotine sickness
6 is my magic number
But i blow through a tin a day
Better than 2 packs a day i guess
“Cocaine.”
I used to love entering the box in baseball and just shooting out a foot long shot of dip spit in front of the plate
Nicotine makes you better at sports btw

We haven’t tested enough how good little league players can do on drugs and that’s a failure of our society tbh.
The middle/high schoolers do zyns now lol
it's an epidemic
8th graders vaping
I knew kids who were doing roids in football or technically legal similar things
Was wild
Lol i love that shit
Because in my day the big thing was kids congregating by the parking lot for cigs
I wrestled in high school and more than one guy on the team was taking roids
it was based tho cause they won a lot
Getting that temu test
I went out with my dad and robbed liquor stores like a good American
How the f*** did i walk into you people talking about kids on roids
I went to do something real quick
It is genuinely an issue that high schoolers and even younger are dumb enough to do it
Im in agreement with providing combat drugs to little league players
And their adults in their lives fail them and let them
Adderal before running for track and field
Addies help maintain the 4.0 average no cap
All that adderal wasted on stupid shit like that
When they could use it for their KD
College students moment
At first i thought the balding was from genetics
But then i found out it was the addies
I never took addies, wonder what its like
My parents and my gf teasing me for having some white hair already
💀
I’m so cooked
You gotta make sure you’re the anime protagonist
I’m hoping i don’t end up with more
I like my hair though smh
Start wearing super elaborate outfits and brooding more
No
Embrace the silver fox look
Be the storm that is approaching
If I have a child is being a deadbeat father and cutting their hand off mandatory ?
U were just going out to buy some cigs
Only if he’s a huge shit and has some dumbass name like Nero
Better start getting some biceps and buying lots of tank tops
genuinely one of my fav archetypes in anything ever
the fact that they all look EXACTLY the fucking same minus Ironside with no hair is fucking peak
Can’t improve on perfection
Genuinely.
They merely adapt it to the universe
props to the guy who named this character W.R Monger
💀
He’s also 90 years old
Btw lol
That movie is stuck in my head still for some reason

My goat
I was just watching that the other day
Once you go roger roger you can never go back
you're in belgium right?
ye
I was planning on making cannabis butter
You have to carbonized it (roast it in the oven basically)
"Decarboxylate"
when i first started i just stuck some weed in chocolate chips then melted it in the microwave
it tasted like shit but it got me high
I love baking, so I really want to try that sort of stuff
oh right belgium is right next to netherlands
you could go there to buy weed
it's like the weed central of europe
Well, it's not that easy on that front, laws got harsher for non Dutch citizen iirc
I think I'll ask my boss if he still smoke weed, I know he did not so long ago
i recommend doing very small doses if this is your first time
eating cannabis lasts almost a whole day and if you're unhappy with it you'll hate it
Man these edibles ain’t shit
georgia is where i first tried edibles
delta-8 or whatever's legal over there
hated it
I have a jar of delta 8
Sometimes im too lazy to put it in my wax pen
So i just eat it

i prefer my weed whole and uncut thanks
You think you just slept like shit and then you get in your car and start driving
And then realization dawns on you
How much have you played in the last day what the hell
that han solo spinoff movie is a top 5 star wars film
and I'm not afraid of saying it
I think it’s much better than it got credit for. It had some great stuff
Rogue One is the best Disney Star Wars movie
That’s a screenshot from my friend
Not mine
Alright I was worried
No that’s not the book where a kid gets hit by a necron laser
I think it is the one where a guy gets turned into a gibbering mound of meat and tentacles though
Yeah the one where the kid gets killed by Necrons is the first one
im glad you all know your child death lore
I need a parody of this video but all of the empires(human,eldar,tau) conspiracys and hidden truths https://youtu.be/Gsr9s0fmJZs?si=KzwEYYjUBeKKXKf7
My aunts or uncles would kill me
Craftworld Eldar twins having their sibling mysteriously die in an accident when a new wraith knight is needed for an expedition to a croneworld
Guiliman has been seeing yvarine in secret ||fake||, tau have a solider in therapy while he was giving gifts from khorne,
The Forgeworld Agripinna having a large amount of new servitors with purple eyes
If a tau can be blessed from khorne it is likely all rejects have been blessed by khorne for the feats they've pulled off
The gameplay of Darktide isn’t lore accurate or else the Moebian sixth would have died already
Unload the info before the commissar gets here
As in the entire regiment
Agripinna is the next closest bastion to the eye of terror, so when Cadia fell a lot of cadian gate refugees fled to it
Downside
It’s a forgeworld
Surely my 500 000 kills penance isnt the whole regiment 👀
Even bigger downside it was being invaded constantly
agripina more like fuck you
So they gave the refugees 2 options starve in orbit or let tech priests and skitarii board the ship so they could separate out the people
Me ignoring (killing) the commissar (federal agent) for wanting too take my plaesteel (taxes)
Anyone who couldn’t fight or work was servitorized
this is why the mechanicus sucks
Doesn't mars have a hidden AI
Glory to the Omnissiah
Damn, I didn't know that one... ||classic admech stuff||
It has a C’tan shard on it
There’s also defintely men of iron in the catacombs
Yea the catacombs are full of horrors and rogue AIs right?
Theres eldritch monsters in ghoul stars
Horror book series in the ghoul stars could be nice
are you new
Warhammer crime and horror books are usually neat
Halo stars are more fun to me personally
Yeah but these things aren't warp spawn which is funky fresh
I prefer the whole dead ancient civilization thing
time to make 30 youtube videos about the 1 page of lore
woah
(Halo devices have more lore then the halo stars themselves)
I want to see a warhammer crime novel
Where the reveal is there’s a noble or some other asshole wearing a halo device
Don't forget the clickbait titles in caps ans the AI art
and the reaction face
Are the wrath and glory pre made campaigns any good? I’m looking to try and dm for the first time, probably gonna use homebrew rules to make it more balanced, any recommendations on homebrew rules?
What if that AI that absolutely roasted tf out of that tech priest went into making new technology in secret?
They’re fine
There’s a lot of AI’s in the catacombs of mars
Like a lot
Bet they could snag one and start making new shit again just can't be caught
And not let the age of strife happen again
Was it the age of strife?
I’m just trying to decide if I wanna use a premade or make my own one shot
Probably not
The catacombs of mars kind of just
Kill people
There’s a lot of shit down there
As they say. Can't make omelette without cracking a few more eggs
Commit heresy too kill heresy
On one hand I would have more freedom, on the other hand, I’d have to write it myself
"is there two armies hiding under your planet tech priest?"
Would be a pretty cool if a book was wrote bout roboat girly man managed too steal an AI too aid him or heretical tech priests craving new technology
AI partially caused the age of strife
the emperor was very much against them
only giving the dark angels some neutered men of iron to use as weapons
Belisarius cawl is already pushing the limits with his Cawl inferior thing
And he probably has more sketchy things up his sleeve
He definitely does
he's very good at making people who question him "disappear"
as goes most mechanicus politics
plus he got special treatment from roboute
now he's pretty much untouchable
after primaris stuff
my goat
you have a goat?
meow
He’s not a traitor who defected during the heresy so calling him a member of the dark mechanicum would be inaccurate, he’s been called a heretek and been branded that by some forgeworlds including Metalica.
The fabricator general of mars refuses to call him a heratek and the Martian parliament also is divided on it, furthermore the Prefecture Magisterium also refuses to give an answer on what their stance on him is so the Mechanicus Inqusition seems to be mixed opinion wise as well.
Tldr mechanicus politics are messy
Cawl avoiding the allegations like a goat
Less so avoiding the allegations more so being stuck inbetween the mechanicus liberalizing and staying in its old ways. Furthermore the political clusterfuck that is mechanicus politics.
Cawl was already a relatively powerful Archmagos before the primaris reveal
He was moving a lot of war material
And he has both many rivals and many allies
He's also harassing Guilliman to make him Fabricator General
"Trust me bro"
Cawl's own words
Is the current fabricator general the same one that's in thr Vault of Terra trilogy?
Technically speaking
It ISNT cawl's own words
Cawl inferior kinda has a mind of it's own
And wants to be fab gen
Meanwhile Cawl proper is just confused why it's asking lol
yeah idk why cawl would care about politics
he's just in it for the love of the game
Also being Fab General would mean that he needs to do things like
"Follow restrictions"
And
"Not creating AI replicas of personalities"
I find it funny that he literally created an AI replica of Guilliman's personality
Just to test on whether he would be pissed off on whatever bullshit he did
"Hmm should I lobotomize all orphans and give them robot legs?"
"Let me ask Guilliman Inferior. I'm sure he would love the idea!"
Yes
am i crazy or was there a version of light houses for warp travel
i swore it was in one of the uh, 9th edition event books
oh well, fuckin tyranids shinnangans taht burned a hole in teh warp causing ships to get sucked out of the warp
there are a few but they're generally super rare archeotech
ah i remember now
thanks
whats the purpose of the orb thing (I think its called coven in the in game versions) it looks cool to me but i have no idea what it does
Prob some psy enhancer
Psy collars are there to help the Psyker control their power and not burn out as quickly (Same thing for staves
yee, im just thinking its probably like the orbs hone in their psychic powers, im just more curious because i wanna see how weird they can be designed
once had a dream a few days ago that i rememberd but i watched the cinimatic of cawl and trazyn and when i went too bed that night i had a dream that they were great friends but trazyn got too attached and had too "scrub" his mind of that emotion thus ending the friendship. dreams are weird
it was like trazyn just looks away while we see cawl walking away depressed as fuck
Always wonder how tf Psykers burn out
Like do they have the equivalent of like
Mana but
Warp
Or does it feel similar to like
Physical exercise where you start to feel tired
Except once you collapse. Instead of just fainting at worst
You get possessed by daemons and become a city destroyer at least
I think it's more like feeling electricity coursing through you
At low voltage/current you'll be fine, but at higher one
Going with this, a psyker is a like a lightbulb filament
You can run power through it to create light
But the more you run through it the more strain you place on it
And if you run too much you just pop it
Stronger psykers are brighter bulbs that can take more power
And all the Psyker's equipment is made to limit the current, so they would be filters, transformators
So that's why the Emperor is basically a fucking lighthouse
Also I will propose something
You got an email. It's a plane ticket to GW's HQ in the United Kingdom. They're inviting you to come. After a plane ride to the UK, you take a bus to Nottingham.
And there, in all of his Glory, is James Workshop. It turns out that you were artificially made. Built to be a loyal son/daughter/other. To help lead the world to a paradise of plastic figurines. Where no pile of shame exists. Where everyone knows how to thin their paints. But unfortunately you were whisked away out of his reach by his ex-wife. You were lost... until now.
As a celebration, James Workshop gives you the power to change one thing about 40k and/or Fantasy (includes AoS). No limitations. You can even add female SMs if you want.
What would you change?
- Dilara 2024
And we support that message
Yes we do
The gene seeds were actually testicle replacements
If you got a testicle replacement would you just have someone else’s sperm or would your own takeover
The Dna would still be the original's one I'd say it would be the other persons 'sperm'
I looked it up and apparently yea it would be the donors
I also saw someone suggesting that you swap out a single one with a friend and both have a 50/50 chance of being the dad
Dilara this is par for the course at this point
I also saw someone suggest it being the plot of a movie, where the villain secretly swapped balls with the hero and then went around having lots of kids that the hero then had to pay child support for
i mean that is certainly a plan that might work
The lore in the new || shitty || skins is interesting.
All of the skins have either been retrieved from operatives who are MIA, or dead. The only exception is the Bolter, which is apparently in mint condition, having been retrieved from an Enforcer's weapon cache.
Also: || If bodies are found near the weapon, they are retrieved and turned into Servitors ||

Sorry, hard day at work. Needed to let a lil goofy out
Interestingly, one of the Psyker staffs, the new skin that is, notes that it was so 'corrupted' that it required 'Alpha-Level Purging'.
What the hell? Also, I doubt hand sanitiser made from rashuns and corpse starch is going to 'clean' chaos corruption...
I don't think any tech on a rogue trader ship is going to be good enough to clean or purge any corruption.
The Mourningstar couldn't even detect a traitor who was worshipping Chaos and conducting rituals with Nurgle finger painting
Fire, prayers, enscents...
Rogue Traders essentially house anything they can/want on their vessels + we got an Inquisitorial operation onboard with various members of the mechanicus and clergies.
The traitor couldnt be detected because Imperial ships are fucking huge, and she was still eventually caught lol
The purging is reactive, not pro-active.
Say ||somehow|| the chaos corruption got purged. It might not be 100% clean.
I just think FS are just planting the seeds of varlets being corrupted by their environment and their weapons. And that's kinds cool.
I mean if they were planting seeds they'd do it on a main lore drop supplement not some random cosmetic.
And we regularly get cleansed and ritually checked for any signs of corruption after returning to the ship as per many vox comms dialogue/mission banter.
Wym random cosmetic, it costs $6 dollars 
So yeah a random cosmetic
Didn't work for the traitor, who was also an operative before moving to the shop
We are talking physical signs of corruption, she wasnt harboring any mutations. And again, she was caught, why does this matter lol
you are acting like she did some unthinkable massive operation and got away with it, she didn't 
If you say so. 


The zealot is def corrupted
"blood for the emperor skulls for the golden throne" anyone?
The void shadows ost is so good
I think this was the plot of jojo
Yeah it's goated
Have u tried the insanity of bladedancer pyro
hello chat
yah nah thats just the deathcult

how have you been enjoying void shadows Mag?
The astropathic choir music is so good
Voices of the empyrean
Do space marines lose some of their abilities if both their gene seeds gets harvested while they are still alive?
i can't think of a single instance of a gene seed being harvested while the astartes is alive but i'm sure it has happened
Also I didn't knew they had two geneseeds
Per marines
How does a chapter gain new geneseed? Do they implant only one and a second one grows? Then they harvest them during the marine's lifetime / at the moment of death
Yeah the second geneseed is mainly how they "reproduce"
For lack of a better term
Yes they implant one and the second grows
That makes sense
Again, it's how they make more marines
Otherwise they would just lose numbers overtime
Although funnily enough, the Geneseed that CSMs have are usually corrupted
And unusable
They usually raid Geneseed storages as a result
Although I'm not sure if their Geneseed being chaos'd actually affects them?
Or if they just don't really notice cause of Warp Juice
Chaos is stored in the sperm???
Honestly, due to mutations being a thing
It
Unironically might be

It's where I'd store it
In the new Cawl book Alpha Primus has his harvested early by Bile, he does make sure he survives though. But if he’d need a replacement or what not isn’t revealed, just that it’s survivable.
Does Alpha Primus want to kill Cawl
Or is he just lobotomized basically
“It’s complicated”
Like he seems to be loyal despite Cawl being the reason being that he
Is in extreme pain 24/7
He is quite strong though
What even is their relationship

Friends?
Enemies?
Frenemies?
I hate my dumb ass father but I’ll protect him
Yeah that makes sense
Probably similar to like
A grandpa who like
You love him
But then he starts going on racist rants
You still love him
But God damn, could he stop yelling about how immigrants are eating people
"Dad could you please stop servitorizing random serfs. We need them for actually assembling the machine."
"They can do that while being Servitors!"
Primus doesn’t care about menials
laugh track
"But they won't do it well. Just do it AFTER building the machine?"
laugh track 2x
bazinga
Father/son, dysfunctional
Hardcore
But also how tf does he even walk
Does he have like bones that just
Alpha primus?
Like a normal person
No like
He breaks the bones of several menials for daring to get in his way
Oh
Yeah that makes sense
Quite gruesome
And funny
I'm just imagining some menial trying to move some boxes and Primus literally just
Crushes their skull by literally just walking on them
So basically it's kinda like having a dad that like.
He raised you. He genuinely loves you. He still does.
But he also did some shit to you while being unaware
You still love him but you can't help but feel resentful
And some days you just wanna punch him
That kind of relationship?
Uh sorta yeah
Conclusion acknowledged
Calculating...
Alpha Primus and Cawl sitcom needed for maximum morale boost
Anyone think we might see Perturabo work for/with Vashtorr at some point?
For: Unlikely
With: Maybe
He already has
So, yes
Oh neat.
Genestealers are stored in the balls
This is literally true though/j
Its a little promethium squirt
mag ignoring my DM's smh
Wouldn't be lore chat without walking into a strange convo
wathcing a youtuber talk about the old necron codexes
and wow
once they got necrons they GOT necrons
Probably one of the best retcons ever
necrons, female custodies, beastmen (sorta)
is it just me, or does HH admech look too organized and competent
Its mostly the clean paintjob which is for easier/prettier viewing for rulebook formats
but its deffo a bit orderly lol
offering to the eldritch entity is complete
confusion abound
returning to troll HQ
modern admehc is also alot more, like steam punk than hh admech lol
hh admehc are too competent smh, sending you into 1k years of civil war
also cod piece skull
Got a genuine question
So Exterminatus usually leave the planet body intact
Like
Like actual rock
Depend
It's just that everything else gets vaporized
Exterminatus is a protocol
Right?
Not a weapon
Those yes
Does it blow up the actual planet or just the surface
Surface
Okay
So I was thinking about like
A tech priest exploring an exterminatus'd planet. Not for any reason other than just
Seeing the destruction
And I imagined like
An entire desert turned into glass
Just pure glass
Is that plausible
Uh
dont you need like a massive laser blast or something to make that ala Covenant ships
Or would the desert just not even exist
my science is not good
It’s sci fi bullshit you can make up what you want
Glassing worlds is hardly outside of the scope of 40k
the sand just needs to get hot enough fast enoguh
Yeah this
There was a bomb the USA tried to make that would've
And I'm not joking
Literally destroy the entire world. Most of the details are classified and they never completely built it. But they got far enough to actually make models of the fucking thing
Just lance strike a shitton of the world or whatever
pretty sure there is glass in teh sahara desert
libyan desert glass iirc
There’s plans made in case of a zombie apocalypse
True
yep found it
Libyan desert glass or Great Sand Sea glass is an impactite, made mostly of lechatelierite, found in areas in the eastern Sahara, in the deserts of eastern Libya and western Egypt. Fragments of desert glass can be found over areas of tens of square kilometers. Like obsidian, it was knapped and used to make tools during the Pleistocene.
Weirdly beautiful in a way
Wargaming DOJ nerds get bored and do this stuff all the time
time to eat this to cure covid
Helps to be over prepared and have a plan for wild scenarios
True.
Also is there such thing as a partial exterminatus
And it’s good training to practice and prepare for them
Like somehow it stopped midway due to some incident from the space stations or something
Yes you just don’t destroy the whole world
At that point its just surgical WMD strikes
Or an error in programming
Exterminatus is usually "this planet needs to be destroyed"
if theres an error they'll prob just setup for a second strike
Lemme just casually ignite the atmosphere in retaliation
Yeah I was basically thinking of like
Half the planet being a blasted wasteland. And the other half being remnants of civilization
There’s a bunch of ways they destroy worlds already
Humans even IRL always find stuff to settle on after disasters so it'd probably work as long as the planet isnt quarantined.
Just orbital strikes until it’s gone is one slower way
Basically I'm thinking of them trying to Exterminatus a Chaos Invaded planet in the middle of turning into a daemon planet
Yeah that would deffo get quarantined
And due to many factors, they didn't manage to complete it
Only leaving it half bombed
or like servitor-satellites left to watch for any intrusions
Yeah I was thinking of it in a warp storm
or just what they did to Vraks which is "dont come here" beacons, forgot the name
That basically is gravitates ships towards it
Anything that gets near simply gets sucked into the planet
So there is a bunch of minor, major xenos, Imperial Survivors, Chaos worshippers.
Basically everything under the sun in a half blasted, Apocalyptic planet split into four hellish zones.
might rob you of an idea and put my gsc on a planet of glass, the surface is so hot and so bright they pray the nids will bring an era of darkness or soemthing
That would be neat
Originality isn't really a thing
Somebody has already thought of it
If you have
It is and isn’t but the point is don’t be constrained by “someone did it first”
im just saying shit until i finally like soemthing
Same lol
Basically you can steal an idea for a story
Just don't like
Copy the structure
There are like 10 billion dystopian YA stories

And as somebody who has read them
...a lot of them are complete ass
I still like The Giver for what it tries though
Mainly because of how the perspective slowly differs
And how the protagonist technically doesn't like rise up or whatever
He just escapes
And it's unknown whether he even survived at the end
So yeah I like that book
It good
Movie adaptation sucks ass though don't watch that shit

Just a suggestion
You could write it in the viewpoint of like
Whatever is equivalent to a priest
Essentially have their story act more as mythology
A biblical story
Leave some parts up to interpretation
Damn speaking of homebrew
I gotta come up with the plot to my one shot for wrath and glory
Rn what I’ve got is that it’ll be the lowest tier of archetypes, and that the party will be somehow contacted or hired by the archmagos of the local explorator fleet that’s now stranded in the system due to the great rift. The arch magos will want you to investigate the death of a tech adept he sent to the hive city/under hive to deliver/collect something™️ of value, what exactly? He won’t say. I wanna try to do a warhammer crime sorta deal, but with plenty of combat
Any thoughts on the concept or where I could go with it
boring. where's the feces in this storyline
In the streets, in the food, on the people, it’s a hive city so there’s no shortage of it
Idk where to go with it from here, like what the mguffin is, who killed them to steal it, or why. I’d like to include xenos or something more interesting as an introduction to the 40K universe (most of the players don’t know about it) beyond just “yeah it was generic heretics”
whata the hell does the imperium use timber for?
is tehre anything made of wood in the imperium
Buildings, furniture, decoration
Burning
Some buildings are made of wood
I know it’s hard to believe
What we use it for irl
But not as common
Wood is a luxury good
HOLY SHTI I HAVE A MOTIVATION FOR MU CULT
i was thinking about
stellaras
and i remembered the here be dragons preset
what if the home world, before it was taken over by the imperium
venreated like gaint space animal
before the imperium killed it
then when the cult spread to the planet
Works
the cult believes that the tyranids will be the return of the big space animals

I DID IT
it works on any planet
it isnt hyper specific
now i just need to decide the planet and how the cult sprads
the patriarch is the children of their space dragon gods
and the cult must pave the way for their return
Their planet originally worshiped a space dragon that protected them, but when the imperium took over the planet they slaughtered the space dragon. Eventually a genestealer reached and the cult sees the patriarch as the child of their space dragon god. They believe a new era of space dragons are arriving to the galaxy and they must prepare the galaxy for them, believing they will be protected by their god.
FINALLY
HOLY SHIT
Y’all got any ideas or thoughts?
Looks peak
space dragons solve every issue
you got any ideas on what I can do for my one shot? I've never done one of these before
what setting
Posted it above
okay so
In imperium nihilus in a hive city
w/ a one shot
also is it feasible that these fucking faceless goons were contacted by such a powerful authority
like theyre literally lower than skitarii
not yet
I'm trying to make a rough outline while I wait
that is the mos timportnat thing
build your oneshot around your players and their chracters
it will improve teh flow greatly
anyway yeah
Well I should probably come up with a basic plot I can tweak as needed
okay so, make the mguffin xeno tech and make the xenos try to take it back :p
thats the easiest way
yeah
introduce the xenos half way
chaos cult want funny eldar chaos killing gun
eldar want chaos killing gun
or something like taht
hey is there a warden in chat? i just need to dm them
its nothing serious :p
just tell me when ur avaliable
Or maybe I could just make the local gangs want it and then also the xenos want it back
Idk what xenos I'd want to do
orks are my favorites but its hard to make them
I'd also love it to be necrons but thats kinda hard to include for tier 1 characters lol
alright one guardsman, some fuckin random ganger, a inquisitorial scribe, and a preacher, go kill 4 necron warriors
yeah but what woudl gsc have that ppl want
have a one time side quest going on
other stolen tech lol
where some flayed one is murdering people
what just one necron is awake?
also its a one shot so idk if I really have time for side quests
i wish 40k had like
if the players and I like it I can do a whole campaign
idk it just seeemed like a cool idea
more than 3 xenos
me too sister girl
but that would require attention away from bolterporn
and GW doesnt like that
cause xenos dont sell as well
its kind of hard when the average human gets destroyed by most xenos
yeah
I could do it baggit and clodde style where its like one aeldari trying to recover it
and that could be the BBEG
who hires various gangs to find and obtain it
thoughts @rose thorn
what should the mcguffin be though
drukhari are your best bet for bbeg in an underhive
the xenos would rather do it them selves
have like the BBEG be some dickwad who likes xeno tech
but is one random drukhari in an underhive as plausible as a outcast trying to redeem themselves by recovering some lost artifact
ur trying to avoid chaos right
kinda, its overplayed IMO
i agree
like what
good call
or cold trader
some like minor noble
this works too
dpeends
if your players wanna be freinds with the law make it a cold trader
if they hate the law make it a noble
you can ask them or decide which one half way through
and then also the (insert xenos) as a third party trying to recover it as well
yea
have the gang play like a gorde
have the xenos play super weird and tricky
or uh bulelt sponges
dpeending
and have the bbeg goons be hyper elite
could also be a law lover and have it be a noble because if they touch that xenos tech, theyre a heretic who must die
you cant really predict if your players think that
Its just kinda hard to switch gears mid session though since it is a one shot
and I'd have to like foreshadow whoever is the main players
I think cold trader is the safest bet cause that gives players of a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints plenty of options of how they handle it
yea h but rich peopple is easier to stomach to kill
hate the law but also hate the cold trader, cool! kill them because fuck you
greedy? cool! kill him because I want it
and provides a variety in enviorment
What about a noble who's also a cold trader under an alias in the underhive
that works
I might maybe make it lower hive, like just above underhive
so you can kinda see middle level imperial society but its still y'know, kinda overtly shitty
then you can come up with whatever your rationale is for killing/helping/whatever that guy
also, who would initiate this quest, I feel like an archmagos is too lofty
Enginseer?
Technoarchaevist?
Alright, so tech priest contacts party via servo skulls, gathering them together because uhh I guess hiring random assortments of characters is cheaper than hiring the local gang?
or more trustworthy?

Idk we can say the tech priest has been combing for people with the proper personality matrices to maximize mission success, minimize expenditure of resources, and the likelihood of betrayal
hang on
Sure
thats what the necromunda version is
I was using hadrons term
idk waht the admech version is
oh
OH WHIIOS
sroryr im doing my homewokr at the same time
and misread the siutation
thats, weird that hes named that way
its a cool model
i mean i guess its still right
actually wait im stupid
its the same thing
holy shit im too tired ot be readin
but my hw is due tomorrow lol
perfect time to get distracted by warhammer then, haha
hi elite waht was that source you recommended to read about chinese mythology again 
i had it saved but i lost my notes
So this technoarcheologist hires the party to investigate the death of a tech adept that was sent to recover a "valuable discovery" of which he will not elaborate to the party, citing insufficent access levels, which is actually a device of aeldari manufacture that he wishes to study, which is what? It has to be powerful/useful enough to be above the mundane cold trade that happens on Gilead Primus, but not so powerful that its too important to the wider setting
this is like a 2-4 hour long one shot ideally
thank youuuu
Like a simple gun is too mundane
but it cant like destroy planets or some shit
why not
necromunda has like
4 boxes that open a portal to hell
(this is a meme)
because these characters are mundane nearly faceless characters to the setting that shouldnt really have too big of impact comparitively
make it a styx, little blue friend :3
the players will love it
wait
my bad
not styx they are called uh
Caryatid
styx was a character's caryatid
And the threats should be only to like a small local area
since they are only tier 1
And they are of eldar make?
oh no\
my bad
for eldar uh
OH duh make it a soul stone
or the armor of a pheonix lord
pheonix lords are weird
bascially they are dead but possess people who wear their armor
i think?
pretty sure there is multipe of the same pheonxi lord
but i could be wron
theres loads of missing ones
Just one soul stone?
seems hardly worth all this over
to humans that is
I cant kill someone with it or make something to kill someone with
with armor?
no I meant soul stones
something that would be valuable to cold traders, local gangs, nobles, mechanicus, and the eldar
I was making a joke about humanity
and what we define as valuable
The Phoenix Armour is advanced and legendary Eldar Aspect Armour[2] worn by the Phoenix Lords. Containing the soul of the Phoenix Lord inside, this allows the warriors soul to be reincarnated into any new wearer. The legendary armour is so finely wrought that it can protect against almost any weapon.[1]
yup
this is oen of the most importnat thignst eh faction has
and hasnt been mentioned since 7th edition
where if its a space marines left anklet there will be 17 books about it
also
The Cronescream is a relic Howling Banshee Exarch Mask. At its wearer's mental command, the Cronescream will unleash a blast of the psychoempathic energy it stores from their battle cries.[1]
Idk I feel like a phoenix lord's soul is still probably too important
sorry if thats nitpicky
eyah but no one but the eldar know how to use it
also they are plenty of lost ones
This could be the right level of value
my only issue is I'm not sure if humans would find it valuable, maybe some, since it would likely just look valuable
hello chat
It’s mentioned in 9e
But it’s more specifically just
Going over a few Phoenix lords armor
oh my bad the lex said 7th
Tbf
oh okay
That’s the only time they uh
Generically
Name it
Phoenix lord armor is unique and custom
oh whoops
It’s weird to put them in the same category
waht was i thinking of then
oh
Idfk
lol
Yeah
(and fewer dont have red links)
Because that’s just picked and chosen
In any case Phoenix lord armor is generally just
I'll probably do that
Armor unless an aspect warrior puts it on
Just invent some aspect shrine gun
Idfk
You don’t need to draw from something that exists
most people would see it as like cursed or somehow wrong cause of the psychic energy
If you want a gun a human can use and can murder a marine
Why not a Fire Dragon melta
could be good, but would those be common in the cold trade?
alternaitvely if you are silly youca n just do durkhari drugs
Not common at all
no lol
Like a generic eldar melta is like
Okay sure
A fire dragons melta gun is like
This shit literally will melt a baneblade in half
And it’s a flamer
can anyone use them? I forget or does it have to be eldar
or is it simple enough where you just point the trigger and it kills
Anyone can use it
They’re just heavy as shit
arent they like psychically triggered?
Not always
A fire dragons fusion gun is basically just
A multi melta on meth the size of a melta
One of my characters wants to be a low level unsanctioned psyker to start (he does not know what this would entail)
do you think thats fair/balanceable for tier one archetypes
Wrath and glory
Prolly fine
sanctioned psykers are too high tier for the setting
Are there no trash tier Psyker options?
nope the official options are super bare bones
Weird all the eldar tech just happens to mimic human tech
Ah
And they like every other faction in the game shared guns
