[storm jungle]

well at least he didnt say Goliath

ill take biker dads-moms

[queen laurel]

welp to the cross i go

[storm jungle]

They arent THAT bad

[dusk patrol]

Or if I’m feeling like a super basic bitch Palatine Enforcers

[storm jungle]

Palatines are far from basic

they are basically almost cooler arbites

[queen laurel]

I mean they are more respecting of gender than the yellow amazonians

They only really care about your strength

[storm jungle]

also yeah girlboss moment

[queen laurel]

to be honest i have two favorite gangs the other one being no surprise Slave ogryns

i mean look at them they look so cool

[storm jungle]

Its Mundatown, everyone has their favs

[opaque coyote]

Ogyrns who actually rebelled against their oppression

Neat

Although they probably don't trust anybody other than like

Other ogyrns

[dusk patrol]

They work with other factions, theres a few different gangs.

Its like anything else, sometimes people play nice other times they don't.

They exist in the worst parts of Munda largely so stuff like needing to do stuff for supplies to fend off other gangs or make pacts or whatever is common.

[celest dome]

I want a Lobo Slave cosmetic

[opaque coyote]

Imagine trying to make a pact with an Ogyrn

It would be nerve-wracking

[dusk patrol]

Not the most complicated negotiation I imagine.

[opaque coyote]

Probably not. But the issue is that you might say something that might offend them

And if you do uh

You're just dead lo

And Ogyrns generally do not have a good temper

[queen laurel]

they are smarter

so negotiations can proceed more smoother than you can imagine

[opaque coyote]

Also the Slave Ogyrns do generally make me wish we got those mechanical arms as a weapon

Or like a non-"cut off your fucking arms" version

Because those look like they'd hurt

[opaque coyote]

Maybe they would actually be hard to negotiate with cause you can't like

Talk them down the price

[dusk patrol]

More just make sure you have what they want

Or have a lot of guns.

[opaque coyote]

"Look we don't enough Lasguns. But we can give you some autopistols to-"

"GRUG WANT LASGUN. NO LASGUN. NO DEAL."

"(Shit they're good at this)"

[storm jungle]

Its Necromunda and they are cybernetically enhanced ogryns. Beggars cant really be choosers.

[dusk patrol]

The leaders of the gangs tend to be some pretty uh

Wild dudes.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I read through some of them.

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I'm just wondering how Bull Gorg can eat

Lmao

The man got his hands replaced with fucking chainswords

Does he just

[storm jungle]

Considering its a gang leader he prob has his lackeys/slaves feed him or some shit

[opaque coyote]

Bite in

He is anti-slave

[dusk patrol]

Thats why he doesn't have a splatter shield.

[storm jungle]

that guy is not an ogryn

he deffo would own slaves lol

also dont look for logic in Blanche designs

[dusk patrol]

His whole thing was he freed the slaves.

Then he got betrayed and died, maybe.

[opaque coyote]

Lexicanium also lists him as an ogyrn

Idk whether he actually is tho

[storm jungle]

Back in my day that guy was just Generic Necromundan

because again they just told Blanche:

"Hey can you draw us some fucking weirdos"

which he excels at obvs

[dusk patrol]

I don't recall if he was actually an Ogryn tbh

[storm jungle]

Hes not.

[dusk patrol]

A lot of the gangs aren't led by Ogryns

[storm jungle]

Hes just a generic gang-person from the O.G necromunda codex

they probably just like

published another future edition and just threw text under it

not the first time they do it

[opaque coyote]

Yeah he's just said as a pit fighter

[storm jungle]

Yeah that

[opaque coyote]

Although he is also listed under "Notable Slave Ogyrns"

I am just gonna assume that is wrong

[dusk patrol]

Lexi mislabels a lot of stuff

Especially with those kinda articles.

[opaque coyote]

Either way he sounds kinda cool

Especially for 40k standards

Too bad he uh

Got beheaded

Maybe

[dusk patrol]

Munda has a lot of those flavor characters.

[storm jungle]

Its a mixup of different publifications

because this stuff gets drawn as random codex art fodder

then just gets labelled for convenience

[opaque coyote]

Necromunda is nice

An exception to 40k's planet of hays

Tbh I don't actually mind Planet of Hats that much because like

It's gonna be hard detailing every named planet

[storm jungle]

Munda is the most detailed planet in 40k so its the one with the richest lore due to havign a game on it

40k's issue is its wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle, Munda is one of the rare cases where we actually see an insight into what one imperial world is like

[opaque coyote]

Still would've liked it if Prospero wasn't just desert

Like the tidbits we do get about it are interesting

[dusk patrol]

Lots of fun characters

[storm jungle]

It exists only to get burnt by Wolves so its whatever tbh

[dusk patrol]

It wasn't

[storm jungle]

also is like just "Generic Middle-East Planet"

[dusk patrol]

It had forests and stuff, it just was dangerous

[storm jungle]

much like Lorgar's planet

[dusk patrol]

Cause the psyker wasps

We also barely see it anyways

[storm jungle]

Point proven lmao

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but it would've been cool to see like

A civilization of Psykers be detailed

But also

[storm jungle]

but yeah it exists to get decimated

theres no purpose beyond that

[dusk patrol]

Its was built around one city.

Most of it wasn't occupied.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that's sad

[storm jungle]

We got 50 books to go through we gotta pick up the pace

👏

[opaque coyote]

"Don't worry. The Horus Heresy series is only gonna be about ten... Hundred books"

[dusk patrol]

We do see a lot of Tizca but the point of the world is outside the city doesn't matter really.

Its a very top heavy planet because the dangers outside Tizca.

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I wonder if there is any planet that is just

Normal

And I don't mean 40k normal

Like

[storm jungle]

Define "normal"

[opaque coyote]

Our standards of normal

[dusk patrol]

There's plenty of normal ish biomes.

[shadow plover]

Serenade

until

you know

[storm jungle]

Yeah i was gonna say lol

[dusk patrol]

Its just you know, we don't get ot focus on one world a ton.

[storm jungle]

"normal" planets dont say normal for long

the Imperium's colonization process is usually sucking/destroying a planet through multiple generations until it practically offers them nothing

[dusk patrol]

The Eisenhorn books have a lot of pretty normal worlds, as does the Magos book.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah.

I remember an interesting post about how the Tithe basically makes it so that every planet becomes a shithole

[shadow plover]

also if you don't know what Serenade is don't google it and spoil yourself

[storm jungle]

Yeah like even a "safe" word will eventually go to shit.

[dusk patrol]

Abnett tends to like to have relatively mundane worlds mixed with the wacky ones.

[opaque coyote]

What book is it from

[storm jungle]

All it takes is someone demanding more tithes or just admech saying they want more polution-gigadestroyer-factories or some shit

[dusk patrol]

Its the guy whose a planet one

[shadow plover]

The Infinite & The Divine

[opaque coyote]

Ah

[dusk patrol]

Oh wait no that one

[storm jungle]

also known as PEAK

[opaque coyote]

Fuck why haven't I READ THAT YET

[dusk patrol]

I dunno

[shadow plover]

The Peak and The GOAT

[opaque coyote]

æ

[storm jungle]

because you got the attention span of a goldfish

you fucking-

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cola-cat-cola-explosion-luma-ai-gif-12441479630905084027

[opaque coyote]

Needs more family guy

Needs more subway surfers

[queen laurel]

yeah like even paradise worlds which are made to be paradises can suddenly just have a slannesh cult corrupting its beauty

[opaque coyote]

Also they usually suffer from uh

Tourist Trap syndrome

But on an extreme level

[dusk patrol]

We see a lot which just kinda exist and nothing too bad happens tbh.

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah it's great to vacation here.

...not great to actually work in."

[storm jungle]

Either that or uh as i usually tell people; have you ever worked uner any rich people.

[shadow plover]

and I suppose the planet from Deathworlder used to be pretty normal until the Nids invaded

[storm jungle]

I mean

"normal"

slave labor galore

[opaque coyote]

40k normal

[shadow plover]

your point being

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Generally if its a planet in a 40k novel its gonna get invaded by something.

[storm jungle]

Kinda.

No planet is ever really safe.

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/good-triumphs-cat-mrow-meow-idk-gif-13691899891700108231

[dusk patrol]

Blood Pact has a very normal world.

[shadow plover]

that is a good gif

[storm jungle]

saving that

[shadow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/add-to-favourites-gif-17225530979352025795

[opaque coyote]

I mean tbf I am planning for a regular hive world to get invaded by everything under the sun so

[dusk patrol]

Double Eagle also has a fairly normal world even at wartime.

[opaque coyote]

Heah

[storm jungle]

Pretty much this yeah

like "normal" imperial worlds are very much not normal

people still suffer, and life is still relatively awful

[opaque coyote]

But hey at least there's no unique flavors of

Horrific death

Just the regular ones

[storm jungle]

Even if the planet is "good" it will never last either considering half the point of 40k is how comically hostile the galaxy is.

[dusk patrol]

Depends, hive worlds all suck, some worlds we see are fairly "normal" even if they're ultimatley under a despotic regime.

[storm jungle]

Yeah ill pass on that lmao

[queen laurel]

You can live and be born at the cleanest paradise world ever conceived by mankind only to blink and see Tyranid spores raining from the sky

[storm jungle]

Pretty much. "Safe/Normal" worlds are usually copium for people who just dont want to accept the imperium is awful sometimes too.

[dusk patrol]

Its the novel issue though, we're not seeing the boring ass worlds where nothing happens, we're seeing something happening.

[opaque coyote]

I remember the Krieger being stationed at a Paradise world comic.

Even for a fan made comedy comic, the only reason why the world is so peaceful is literally because it's anomalous

[dusk patrol]

We don't even tend to see the mundane guard conflicts

[opaque coyote]

That it just makes everything peaceful

Even Tyranids

Somehow

[storm jungle]

That girl in the comic needed some more bruises from her overseers

[queen laurel]

ah yes Dilara patented beatdowns

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it's still funny if only because of the Krieger sitting down and being like

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

"Is this hell?"

[storm jungle]

Hell is when I hear Krieg mentioned

[shadow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/diekatzlei-die-katzlei-katzlei-das-gibt-krieg-krieg-gif-18195399848563536653

[opaque coyote]

Probably cause they would be kinda boring if it was often

Although an intro of a guard squad clearing out a new cult would be interesting

[dusk patrol]

Thats my point, people don't wanna read about nothing happening.

[opaque coyote]

Like as an introduction to the characters. You see how they work as a team against a relatively familiar enemy.

...

Well as familiar as a Chaos cult can get lmao

[dusk patrol]

Marines being involved in a conflict already make it way outside the norm even for 40k, and we have tons of marine books because people don't wanna ready about some nothing conflict which is mostly pretty boring.

[shadow plover]

that's just Gaunt's Ghosts

[dusk patrol]

Laati read mfer

These things all exist.

[opaque coyote]

[dusk patrol]

Funnily enough the Flesh Eaters are known to be pretty chill largely.

The Flesh Tearers however....

Blood Drinkers are also pretty chill largely.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the worst part is that

In 40k it's just normal to name your chapter like

[dusk patrol]

The hypocrisy

[opaque coyote]

"Eater of Babies"

[dusk patrol]

The worst part is the hypocrisy

[opaque coyote]

"Chaos is horrible. It takes over your mind and removes your free will. Never fall to it my friends

Now come along Servitor #921"

[dusk patrol]

Damn Inquisition Matyr still getting dlc.

[celest dome]

A weird one tbh

[dusk patrol]

Kinda strange that you can have side characters instead of minions.

[queen laurel]

DAMN

[dusk patrol]

I have not played the game in a long ass time

[celest dome]

The again Tech Adept with the Psiloi was already there

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

I remember there being a train simulator game with a similar listing

[dusk patrol]

It’s always been kinda…I mean hell the basic campaign story is wild

[opaque coyote]

I forgot it's name but it had some ridiculous total price for all of the trains

Like

10k?

[dusk patrol]

All the simulator games are like that

The train one I think is the most extensive

It preys on the autists everywhere

[opaque coyote]

I guess that's why GW exists

[dusk patrol]

I knew farm boys who played farming simulator just so they could mess around with vehicles they’d never be able to afford

[storm jungle]

The Inquisitor you are playing feels like a fanfic character too. Like he just can literally do/get anything.

Because uhhh game

[dusk patrol]

They are very well done simulators

[shadow plover]

there's also that flight simulator with free two planes but every other plane is like 50-100$

[dusk patrol]

The rigs people have are wild

[storm jungle]

Oh combat planes

darn

[opaque coyote]

Makes me wonder if you can use those games to help you study for a written pilot exam or something lmao

[dusk patrol]

You need a whole rig and multiple boards plugged in to play some of them

[opaque coyote]

Holy

So

[dusk patrol]

They’re literally simulations of the entire plane a lot of times

[opaque coyote]

I assume only pilots play those

[dusk patrol]

So you need all the buttons and shit

[opaque coyote]

Either that or just

Extreme autists

[dusk patrol]

Or people who are super into it

[opaque coyote]

Both

[dusk patrol]

They do use them for training though yeah

[storm jungle]

Accurate.

[dusk patrol]

Part of why it’s so expensive

Largely companies buying it

isn't there one guy who built 1:1 MiG replica cockpit just to play simulator with it

https://tenor.com/view/flight-sim-flight-simulator-microsoft-sim-gif-21180875

These are the mfers spawn camping you in battlefield with the jet

The simulators for racing games too

They get so good F1 drivers and other drivers compete in the online modes for practice

The whole movie they made of taking a kid who played Gran Torismo was a real thing and they kid was able to become an F1 driver with no prior racing experience was a thing.

He did get trained to drive a car properly but still the skills translated

And that was a long while ago now compared to simulators of today

[rocky gale]

Pretty sure during Covid all the rally drivers started doing vr racing sims to compete and it ended up becoming its own competition

[tough haven]

Is it true that the majority of dreadnoughts (besides named characters) become effectively servitors?

[shadow plover]

wdym

no?

[celest dome]

Not really. They still are there mentally. They do have decrease in mental faculties

[queen laurel]

You mean having the mental state of a vegetable?

[tough haven]

Yes

[tough haven]

You could argue that servitors are too

[storm jungle]

Servitors are lobotimized.

Dementia is kinda different.

also gradual

But yeah Dreads basically slowly dementia the user until theres nothing left, you can usually just circumvent this excuse by saying they get put more to sleep or some other shit they use with Bjorn and some other fuckheads

[tough haven]

Me when my battle brother being selected for dreadnought internment screams and pleads and begs to just be put out of their misery (he’s just delusional from the combat wounds, being interred is the greatest honor you can ask for)

[storm jungle]

Yeah at least some Chapters actually ask if you wanna be interred. Sometimes uh rip

[tough haven]

I love the Tau because they get to look upon the horrors of the galaxy with fresh eyes

like the walking nightmare tomb that has tortured a soul for longer than your whole civilization has existed

I really want their first interactions with each faction detailed in a written format somewhere, would be interesting

give your chapter earnings to your mortal family, or become interred in a dreadnought to fight once more

Back in my day everyone had top knots

[tough haven]

“As you get closer to the coordinates detailed by Durix Roth-16, you break off from the well used main streets and descend into the dimly lit, scarcely patrolled and poorly maintained side corridors, where crime, heresy, and desperation grow unchecked away from the Emperor’s light.”

Here’s what I have so far

I’m not sure if I should add more or what, beyond just continuing onto the party’s objective

[opaque coyote]

So

90% of CSMs

[tough haven]

I mean, what else do you do as a CSM band besides nurture old grudges?

Now it’s time to write dialogue for the poor homeless people trying to loot the crime scene the party is investigating

They’re gonna be brutally beaten to death as a practice combat

[gray umbra]

I remember back in my day, we fought on the walls of terra!!!

[tough haven]

Alright grandpa, let’s get you back in the helbrute

[opaque coyote]

Are you gonna write Enforcers just going to town

[gray umbra]

Says 10k year old csm pillaging scraps of ceramite to repair their armor

[tough haven]

No the party is going to have to deal with them somehow

[opaque coyote]

So murder people got jt

[tough haven]

Enforcers are few and far between in this area and are more likely to turn a blind eye to minor crimes, like looting a body

[gray umbra]

Lol i love that

[tough haven]

Or y’know, make a really simple intimidation check to scare them off

[opaque coyote]

Make it so that there is actually a consequence for simply just shooting them btw

[tough haven]

Cause they’re literally 3 scavs with shivs and one with an autopistol and the party is a inquisitorial acolyte, a tech adept, an enforcer and a Astra militarum trooper, all with actual gear

[tough haven]

Like what? Shooting the homeless isn’t punishable in the 40k universe, it’s practically an official pastime

[opaque coyote]

Basically make the crime scene investigation more complicated if they decide to shoot the homeless lmao

Due to the blood mixing in with the crime scene

Making it harder to parse details due to all the inevitable gore

[tough haven]

Basically the party comes across the crime scene with them trying to pry off the guys augmetics and they are like “frag off! We found ‘im first!”

[opaque coyote]

Allow them to literally just shoot in the air btw

[tough haven]

Ofc

Or you can literally just like threaten them cause they’re only slightly harder to scare off than grots

Ammo is scarce

[opaque coyote]

Fair lo

[tough haven]

Another good reason not to shoot them dead

[opaque coyote]

Of course give them the option to just beat them

[tough haven]

That too

[opaque coyote]

Pacifists fr

[tough haven]

I just picture a sister of battle being like “we cannot waste these blessed bolts on the enemies of humanity to sully them with their tainted blood, these bolts are only for use on the homeless asking for a second daily meal”

[outer wave]

I feel, personally anyway, that you don't need to mention "Crime, Heresy, and desperation grow unchecked" line, because that's a bit of a tell and no show. I would go further into the details of the location, and if you wanted to add something like that last line, maybe make it more like: "There are many, many places in the Imperium where His Light shines through. This is not one of them."

My opinion of course.

[tough haven]

That sounds better

[opaque coyote]

Fun fact

When monsters get to low health in Undertale. You can literally just spare them if they get to low health. Exception are bosses for obvious reasons

So if you want to. You can basically do a Shonen protagonist route

Beat the shit out of them and spare them

[tough haven]

Batman

[tough haven]

Not really sure what details to add though is the issue, I don’t usually write imperial stuff

The only thing I can think of is something like “Caustic sewage, industrial runoff, and less identifiable things drip from the ceiling.”

[outer wave]

What the street looks like, describe the garbage that's piling up as well as the people passing by. The smells, the sights, what they may be hearing in the distance, that sort of stuff can help with immersion.

Don't have to be super fancy of course

Just something to allow the players to relate to the situation to a greater degree

[tough haven]

“Refuse is piled in every corner, every few minutes distant gunfire, and the occasional scream can be heard, and hooded figures hurry in and out of the shadows.”

[tough haven]

“The air tastes stale and recycled, yet moist and foul, and you wonder how anyone could live in such conditions”

“And all the while, the vague feeling of eyes on your back never fades”

Maybe I should take out the bit about how people live in such conditions

Don’t put words in the partys mouth

[outer wave]

"Refuse is piled in the corners of the various dilapidated buildings stretching far into the sector. Every now and again the distant wail of a gun comes screeching into your ears, only for it to go silent for a time. As you perhaps look around for the source of the sounds, you swear you can see something zoom out of sight; perhaps it was your imagination? So why does the feeling of eyes stuck on you linger?"

[outer wave]

This is absolutely true

You can describe a scene but you don't wanna describe how they feel about things

[tough haven]

By the throne, that’s good

[outer wave]

I like this

[outer wave]

Thank you, though mess around with it if you don't like certain elements

[tough haven]

What do you think about this description of the wider hive city?

“You leave the forge temple and enter the Hive city streets. Thousands upon thousands of people call this sector home. Layer upon layer of titanic sections of plasteel and adamantine reach up to the opulent upper Spires that pierce the clouds themselves, and extend down far below the earth to the dark and treacherous Underhive. You are just above that wretched place, in the Lower Hive, where the majority of the Hive’s working class reside. The massive main streets are packed to the brim with the teeming masses of humanity. As you press through them you see preachers of the Ecclesiarchy giving holy sermons to hundreds, peddlers trying desperately to sell their wares, scarce enforcers on patrol, citizens heading to and from their 18 hour shifts, and wastrels begging for donations before being shooed away. You cross a colossal suspension bridge with the cyclopean depths below clearly visible over the edge, with a sign that states “Suicide jumping is forbidden by the Lex Gilead”

[outer wave]

I like this

Good amount of detail, good description of the people passing by

The suicide sign hopefully doesnt trigger anyone (I dunno your group) but I like that, even if its a small detail

[tough haven]

That’s a good point, I really wanted to outline some like pointless, completely unenforceable, and heavy handed laws

[outer wave]

Yeah its a good detail because they want to keep the populace alive for their work so them attempting anything would be bad for the workforce

That said, just hope your group is okay with details like this and more (assuming you put more stuff like this)

[tough haven]

Asking them now

[outer wave]

👍

[tough haven]

I’ve also got this next bit

“Continuing under the dim light of flickering lumens, you come across the site of the distress signal, where the adept's fate is immediately clear. His body lies in the middle of the passageway, riddled with holes, with three scavengers trying to pry off his implants unsuccessfully. Upon noticing you they turn and shout “Frag off! We found him first!” While brandishing makeshift shivs.”

[tough haven]

Thoughts?

I’d describe them more but I want that to depend on the party’s checks

[outer wave]

I think thats good enough

[tough haven]

Unrelated

[outer wave]

You probably dont wanna go too flowery with descriptions and I think what you got describes exactly whats going on

[opaque coyote]

Also write how like people in hab block buildings immediately close their blinds and shut their lights off at the sight of the party

Because even the tech priest is gonna be like

Noticable

And people are gonna fear those that clearly look like they're there for

"official" business yk

[celest dome]

People vastly over estimate the lore that Ratling have

[charred jewel]

Don't they predominate in warhammer crime novels

[arctic talon]

No

Lol

[gray umbra]

Rat

[tough haven]

I love any but I can get from them though

[arctic talon]

There’s like two books with ratlings in them in warhammer crime

[opaque coyote]

Tiny men

[tough haven]

Abhumans and psykers are my favorite part of the imperium

[opaque coyote]

Reposting this because why does this guardsman look adorable

"...eat the Ogyrn, eat the rattling. Emprah says it's great recycling"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly same

Especially the Abhumans

[dusk patrol]

Most ratling lore is probably from Only War tbh

[opaque coyote]

Cause like ofc there would be different human genomes due to spreading out in space

And being isolated from the rest of the universe

Although I wonder

Do Catachan people count as Abhuman?

Cause they certainly aren't baseline

Due to their skin literally as hard as flak armor

[celest dome]

They don't

[opaque coyote]

So they're counted as Baseline with minor mutations

[celest dome]

Not even mutation

[opaque coyote]

Huh

[celest dome]

Do note that Abhuman is just a political title

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah true

Not a scientific classification

[dusk patrol]

Abhuman also generally deviates a lot from the basic human form

The main trait they share is it’s a stable deviation

Ogryns make more Ogryns, Ratlings make more ratlings, and so on.

Mutants aren’t stable generally.

[queen laurel]

I mean all you need to be considered a abhuman is two things

Number one species origin used to be from humans

And number two they have genetically stable traits that consistently show when they procreate

You get those two things set and you have abhuman

[opaque coyote]

Yeah ig that's why Felinids being "anime cat girls" wouldn't make sense

Cause having 6 toes on your left foot is basically considered nothing in the Imperium

Or like idk

Bones growing on your skin

[celest dome]

Except for Blank and Psyker, which are stable mutations only

[queen laurel]

That's why people often make them look like a your average furry cat or A Khajit from skyrim

[celest dome]

And being useful for the imperium

[queen laurel]

That too but you know

Results may vary on that one

[opaque coyote]

Personally, my headcanon is that they turn into either furry cats or "anime catgirls" depending on the "season"/temperature

Basically you take a Felinid on a snow planet

And they quickly start growing fur

[queen laurel]

Laati stop your brainless speak

[dusk patrol]

They’re not really stable though because they can’t reproduce and make more.

Navigators also aren’t super stable mutations.

[opaque coyote]

Never

You cannot servitorize me for I have no brain

[queen laurel]

Maybe because all of the incest but you know that's just suggestion

[celest dome]

Navigator is hereditary, but recessive.
Blank and Psyker happen to 'normal' parents

[queen laurel]

Honestly i'm pretty sure navigators are pretty much sustained because of the medical technologies of the imperium

They stabilize the genetics so that they don't have life threatening conditions

[opaque coyote]

Baseless Headcanons aside. Basically Abhumans exist because they're useful and

That's it

[dusk patrol]

Yeah, it’s not something you can really plan for. Navigators also have the issue of being exposed to the warp over their careers accelerates the mutating

But some houses are much more stable

[opaque coyote]

A Navigator shows their family tree and it just shows a fucking ladder Lmao

[celest dome]

Family Wreath

[queen laurel]

Yeah without the amazing medical technologies of the imperium all of that inbreeding is going to catch up to them sooner own later

[opaque coyote]

Habsburg Maxxing fr

[dusk patrol]

Some genelines are much more stable than others, but generally speaking all navigators become monstrosities they hide away eventually

[opaque coyote]

[queen laurel]

Like i'm pretty sure that's the only thing sustaining them from complete genetic annihilation

[dusk patrol]

If they live long enough

[queen laurel]

Yes but like i'm pretty sure the medical technologies of the imperium at least alleviates some of that

[dusk patrol]

It’s also why the houses need eachother so much so they can widen their gene pool

Basically all ‘marriages’ are “go fuck that girl from so and so house”

[opaque coyote]

Literally an inflatable kids pool lmao

[queen laurel]

Yep but how fast do you think the imperium will ditch them the moment they can make a machine that can do their job

[opaque coyote]

Very

[queen laurel]

Yes very is the answer

[dusk patrol]

Depends but that’s why they try to avoid that.

It helps that those machines that do tend to be not the most reliable

[opaque coyote]

I think the Emperor was actually planning to genocide them if the webway plan actually worked

[dusk patrol]

There’s a reason basically no one has alternatives for the travel they use

Even if they got the Webway access they’d still need them

[dusk patrol]

I doubt it

[tough haven]

I’ve got this for a general description of the crime scene without any checks

[dusk patrol]

They’re still useful

[tough haven]

After dealing with the scavengers, the remainder of the crime scene becomes visible. There are 3 bodies behind various debris with clean las-holes seared through them, clearly the adept didn’t go down without a fight.
[If the party investigates the bodies]
The bodies are wearing makeshift armor with cheap auto guns lying next to their cold, dead, hands. From their attire and arms you can recognize that the bodies belonged to gangers, with each of them having a brand in the shape of a large spider on their arms. [If inspected] All of you would recognize this brand as an initiation brand of the Sump Spiders, a local brand.

[dusk patrol]

They would just have less power

It’s like saying we’d destroy all cars after we made airplanes

[opaque coyote]

True

Feel bad for the Navigators overall

[dusk patrol]

It’s a living

[gray umbra]

I dont, theyre pretty snobby

[queen laurel]

Yeah but you're you you know

We still have like bits of our soul

I mean can you imagine being born and your job is literally to guide ships into the right path in hell

[dusk patrol]

They legit have one of the most wretched jobs you can imagine

[queen laurel]

I mean if your job is literally guiding ships and looking in the worst dimension possible you would afford to be a bit snobbish

[dusk patrol]

They also know eventually they’ll die doing it or become a mutated horror

They get privileges and some luxury but it’s a super taxing job and a huge responsibility

They have to stay awake for weeks on end sometimes

[queen laurel]

Yeah so like i understand why they aren't the brightest people in the imperium

I mean yes they are dicks but like

If my job is like that i wouldn't be a very nice person for so long

[opaque coyote]

I mean it's basically equivalent to like

Staying up for weeks to captain a boat

And every other hour there are sea creatures biting at said boat

So they're basically running off of zero sleep

The only thing keeping them awake are probably drugs tbh

And maybe tech

Even the nicest person would become an asshole if they had to work like that

24/7

[viral halo]

is there mention of soda in warhammer

or fast food

[opaque coyote]

Especially since the job also has a high risk of a fate worse than death

[queen laurel]

Yeah and people that can actually still be nice and that is a very nice thing

[dusk patrol]

There is Grox burgers

[queen laurel]

Yeah i'm pretty sure a carbonated drink is

[raven stone]

In one of the Cain novels food stalls are still a thing on one planet

[queen laurel]

Definitely a thing

[viral halo]

Need to know if there's soda

[raven stone]

Is where Amberly hired one random survivor to join her

Not a stretch to imagine There is Soda equivalent

[opaque coyote]

I mean carbonation was figured out in the 19th century

I'm pretty sure nearly every planet has it

Except Feudal and Savage worlds

Probably only reserved for people who are NOT poor because fuck you

[raven stone]

And even there, the ruling Elite could have it imported

[viral halo]

Need hard confirmation of soda in warhammer

[raven stone]

Hive worlds are your safest bet TBH, especially if you want masses to have access

Followed by Civilized worlds

[arctic talon]

Carbonated drinks yes

Not soda exactly

[celest dome]

Ask Captain Kentuky, she might be able to say

[queen laurel]

Mean energy drinks are

[raven stone]

(Explicitly stated to be like how we are now, civilised worlds)

[queen laurel]

So yeah i'm pretty sure soda is a thing somewhere

[opaque coyote]

Knowing the Imperium. The only soda that exists is Mountain Dew

Why?

Because it's the 41st millennium

The darkest period of human history

Of course the only drink is mountain dew

[arctic talon]

I’d assume a lot of fizzy drinks in the imperium are alcoholic

Tbh

[rocky gale]

Na worse, Mountain Mist

[opaque coyote]

INGREDIENTS REDACTED

LMAOOO

[queen laurel]

I mean it looks like something straight out of fallout but hey it's energy drink

[opaque coyote]

I actually did follow a recipe to make Nuka Cola once

Basically it's apparently fruitier than like

Regular Cola

Tasted pretty good honestly

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah it's made out of combat drugs

Recycled combat drugs

[opaque coyote]

Real

[queen laurel]

That expired

[opaque coyote]

Why did they even bother to print the ingredients out

Ig because the STC fragment had it as a requirement

[raven stone]

But that bends it weirdly back into brilliance.

You want troops that can still be controlled, not...Kriegan like martyrs.

[rocky gale]

Reminds me of Booster Blue from Star Wars, it's a drug that pilots take to increase their reaction times, but it's literally just ship spray paint

[opaque coyote]

Too bad it probably causes a terrible reaction

[arctic talon]

Huffing paint lives on

[opaque coyote]

But hey

[queen laurel]

Probably taste like s*** but hey does the job i'm pretty sure okay

[opaque coyote]

So

Like most energy drinks then

Seriously haven't found one that actually tastes good

Just

Okay at best

[raven stone]

In UK/HK there is Lucozade

Pretty tame in comparison though

[rocky gale]

Lucozade is more like a sports drinks than an energy drink

[raven stone]

OK fair

[queen laurel]

Yeah but you know you wouldn't be living after drinking one

It's literally recycled expired combat drugs the energy it will provide will probably make your heart explode

[opaque coyote]

Perfectly Imperium lmao

[queen laurel]

Let me rephrase not probably will

[opaque coyote]

definitely

Will

[rocky gale]

I'd say just take little shots

[arctic talon]

Taking the whole can being lethal makes sense

[opaque coyote]

I wonder if a Space Marine ever drank it. And due to their like

Heightened anatomy

They're just like

"...tastes like shit."

[queen laurel]

It would probably have very mild effects because their bodies are very effective at processing stuff like that

[opaque coyote]

flings can away and hits a serf

Serf dies due to the force that the SM threw it at

[opaque coyote]

I'm now imagining a Space Wolf doing a Green Taurox drinking challenge

[arctic talon]

I’d assume the fact it’s expired

Is also an issue

It might just be literal poison

[opaque coyote]

Well the combat drugs are already basically poison anyways

So

[celest dome]

Not sure it'll be safer non-expired tbh

[opaque coyote]

I would imagine it would be

"safer"

In like little sips

Like it'd probably still damage your body. But you'd still get a boost

And not

Die within the hour

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think it would've been funnier if they actually did list out the ingredients

But it's like

The scientific names

So it basically tells the average guardsman nothing on what it's made out of

[tough haven]

Could the average imperial guardsman recognize what wraithbone is?

[gray umbra]

Its mountain dew

[opaque coyote]

Probably not

Maybe a Veteran who has battled the Eldar before

But that's a rare case

They'd probably just be like

[celest dome]

Veterans might recognise that it's something Eldar in nature, but not necessarily

[opaque coyote]

"Ooo weird bone"

[gray umbra]

They would definitely know its alien

[tough haven]

Ok but they might know it’s from the eldar

[opaque coyote]

Probably fucking shoot it out of disgust lmao

[tough haven]

I didn’t mean like how it works or what it’s made of

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

If they fought the Eldar before definitely

[tough haven]

Just like “oh yeah, this stuff is from the eldar”

[opaque coyote]

If they haven't then they probably wouldn't know cause guardsmen are basically constantly on a need to know basis

[gray umbra]

The logic in me says ig troops would get a basic primer on the major xenos factions they might fight

Like word of mouth shit

But its 40k

[opaque coyote]

I mean the Uplifting Primer does show what an Ork looks like at least

But uh

That's it

The rest is complete horseshit and I love it

"Bro guys trust me you can wrestle an Ork"

Meanwhile every Ork basically having the musculature of Arnold in his prime at minimum:

[tough haven]

I love it too

[tough haven]

It details what Aeldari look like

[opaque coyote]

Ah

[tough haven]

I’ve got flavor text for both results to try and identify a wraithbone case

[If party examines the case (success)]
You study the strange case and try to surmise what it may be made of, and you recognize it as Wraithbone, an engineered substance used by the Aeldari, one of the myriad enemies of humanity.

[If party examines the case (failure)]
You study the strange case and try to surmise what it may be made of, but are unable to. It appears to be some sort of bone like substance, perhaps a local tradition?

Thoughts?

[opaque coyote]

Sounds good tbh. Especially if like the Tech Priest or whatever is the one analyzing it

Although to make the failure case funnier.

Have it say that "It might just be made out of human bones. A regular occurrence in Chaos cults"

[rose thorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLP6FDFVm4w

i forgot talisman existed

[tough haven]

[If players pass awareness check]
Upon examining the situation more closely, you find it odd that the adept is only now being looted. It’s unusual for gangers to attack the priesthood of Mars, as any mechanical augmentation could be used as a weapon, and often are to great effect.

[paper haven]

Perhaps they are particularly aggressive gangers?

[tough haven]

Oh there’s a reason for it, and this detail is supposed to help the party figure it out

Incredibly loud incorrect buzzer

Actually they were hired to in order to steal something from him, hence why everything else is left untouched, they left quickly fearing reprisal, and also after having the priest vaporize bowling ball sized holes in three of their men

[dusk patrol]

Lame

We would have also accepted Orks or Drukhari

[tough haven]

Does Aeldari count?

[tough haven]

It’s a one shot, to introduce players to 40K so I don’t want to make it too complex

[dusk patrol]

I’m joking, it sounds fine

But yes Aeldari is good

I am always in favor of plots not always being obvious twists

[opaque coyote]

BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY CHAOS ALL ALONG

!!!!

[charred jewel]

man

I been thinking about it

and I got to keep it real: I don't like Creed 2 or Guillamon on a horse. So many interesting regiments/design choices and they just seem so bland and meh

[paper haven]

Need a plot twist villian?

1. Chaos
2. Genestealer cult
3. Necrons

[gray umbra]

It was alpha legion this entire time

[storm jungle]

People buy into generic choices the most.

I dont really mind Leontus and Agatha Creedbull admittedly though so lol

is he stronger than chaos?

no

i know he taeks over a necron

He shows up and is spooky if a necron army is fielding a shard of it

Dark crusade as well

basically what happened when author mood changed

why do people hate on dawn of war 3?

[queen laurel]

it's just a bad game

nothing special

[small grail]

why

what they do so bad

[queen laurel]

because it's made poorly

let's see

only three factions

story is very basic

[small grail]

marines,ork,and those scary ladies(idk faction name)

[queen laurel]

it's basically just bare minimum compared to the other games

lacking in in a lot of areas

[fallen marsh]

They tried to please Dow1 and Dow2 fans with one game and failed

[queen laurel]

visually it looks good but like that's it

[small grail]

oh

[storm jungle]

Not even that

[queen laurel]

yes that

[small grail]

i was boutta get that

[storm jungle]

They tried to please a crowd that DoW didnt have

its literally a MOBA

a bad one

basically imagine Starcraft but way worse

[small grail]

what abt Orks blood and teef

[queen laurel]

a Moba with base buildings sounds like the worst idea I have heard and i have my brain to think for me

[storm jungle]

Its fun/good but nothing permanent

[queen laurel]

it's fine nothing too groybd breaking

[storm jungle]

Theres a reason the game flopped in a month

and the studio INSTANTLY abandoned it

[small grail]

if they dropped primarchs in DOW 3 what wud occur

[storm jungle]

Nothing

game is still shit

lmao

[queen laurel]

Nothing

[fallen marsh]

It has 1 element from MOBAs. Objective. Rest is mix from other DoWs.

[queen laurel]

more super units is not gonna fix a game that is garbage

[storm jungle]

Its very much a moba.

the devs said so repeatedly

Its one of the larger reasons why it failed

[small grail]

so basically like modern warfare 3

the new one

[storm jungle]

Thats... battle royale

so no

[queen laurel]

dude

a moba is like league of legends

[small grail]

wrong one

i know

i just read the reviews

[small grail]

someone said this

i was loosin my shit

[storm jungle]

Yeah uh they might wanna get their eyes checked

DoW3 is nothing like MW3, the fuck lol

[queen laurel]

no I suggest a brain

Because who in the **** would think an FPS is a moba

[small grail]

basically said "cant believe the gameplays as bad as mordern warfare 3"

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats more accurate

[shadow plover]

they're both alike in the sense they're both subpar games

[storm jungle]

"subpar" is being generous

[queen laurel]

OK now that makes more sense

[storm jungle]

LOL

[ruby turtle]

[queen laurel]

i would say both are ork manure

[fallen marsh]

They took 1 element of the whole genre because they thought that it will be enough to make it into esport. Aside from objective in skirmish it is normal RTS. Heck, Relic is still making the same mistakes in their newer games.

[storm jungle]

Oh shit my sexual fantasies are about to come true

[storm jungle]

damn, works for both

But that would be nice

[storm jungle]

yeah anything but the Imperium tbh

id prob pick orks too

you literally just run around and kill stuff

[queen laurel]

i will take my chances as an ork

[tough haven]

Your fate can’t be too bad as orks

[storm jungle]

They also actually reincarnate

[tough haven]

Like you can’t really be tortured

[queen laurel]

you already have your purpose in life and you even have a chance to do it again if you get reincarnated

[tough haven]

And if you don’t like fighting you can be an odd boy and get up to fun schenanigans

[small grail]

huh?

[storm jungle]

They also actually reincarnate.

[small grail]

how

[tough haven]

Canonically orks reincarnate when they die

[queen laurel]

Orks if they are liked by gork and mork can be reincarnated

[storm jungle]

Gork and Mork

read the lore motherfucker

[small grail]

ah

[ruby turtle]

Lmao

[tough haven]

They get put into a new body and I think they most of their memories?

[small grail]

i do no such thing

[queen laurel]

bro grow a brain like if it's only the flesh part

Honestly this video is funny to me for two reasons, it’s accurate to those stupid videos, and it’s also spot on for ork beliefs and society

[ruby turtle]

[shadow plover]

[rocky gale]

[raven stone]

Well Emperor’s Children be hitting headlines for sure.

[rose thorn]

||based off of always confirmed leaks

Empire reveal for old world with a few new captain models

Probably 40k khrone reveals

Orruks reveals

And that’s all I know :p||

I head ||something about khrone terminators but I might be wrong||

Wiay I’m fucking stupid it’s the ||guard shit||

[rose thorn]

I bet ec would be near the end of the edition

Also probably a hh tank :p

[fallen marsh]

40k should be next codex so Krieg makes the most sense

[rose thorn]

I gotta keep an eye on the guard codex since it directly buffs or nerfs gsc’s worst detachment

[fallen marsh]

EC should be after Eldar if I remember last timeline right

[rose thorn]

I don’t trust the 40k team to balance a new army

Last time they released a new army mid edition it was hell

[raven stone]

I think GW wants to make mixed codex armies a thematic thing but can’t get it right overall.
Namely because all the buffs are actually VERY faction specific.

Like yes you can steal tanks for your GSC army but you as GSC player cannot buff the tank at all under the current system.
