#

So yes an Eldar with a generic hood can blend in completely fine

queen laurel
#

i see then

#

thank you

tough haven
#

So how would this eldar both be like “I’m not an alien, but also, that’s xenotech, and you should return it to its rightful owners, which is me. But again, not an alien”

raven stone
#

we need a Sister of Battle order specialising in Chancalas

tough haven
#

This too

raven stone
#

Speech patterns should be normal, I think

#

Eldar, especially those outside of Craftworlds, can pick up a lot of lingual skills

storm jungle
#

Again remember

queen laurel
#

yeah and this is a Ranger

storm jungle
#

Eldar are better at almost everything than humans

queen laurel
#

yeah that's literally their entire point

storm jungle
#

^

tough haven
storm jungle
#

they are literally genetically engineered to be adaptable to a lot of shit

raven stone
gray umbra
#

Tfw this weird abhuman is calling me a monkey

storm jungle
#

shut up Freiza

tough haven
#

And if some random lanky mutant goes “hey buddy, you should give me that xenotech admech wants you to give to them.” I’d be wary

queen laurel
#

a human would probably take years to pick up the things she did

#

but she did it in like

queen laurel
#

a few months tops

tough haven
#

The ranger confronts them shortly before they get to where it is

raven stone
tough haven
#

So I was thinking like “I’ve been watching you for a while now, and our goals align. The person you hunt has stolen something from me, and I intend to get it back.”

“The object you seek can’t be trusted in the hands of…simple folk, such as yourself, so it would be wise for you to hand it over to me. I can promise it will be well taken care of.”

#

“My name is not important, think of me simply as a potential ally.”

#

And if the party asks what happens if they refuse

#

“I could be an ally, or I could be an enemy. You would not like the latter, I could kill you with the same ease as drawing breath into my lungs. You wouldn’t even have time to realize you’re dead”

#

Should it not be such an overt threat?

#

Thoughts?

raven stone
#

Maybe not that overt a threat. Perhaps leaning a bit more towards...

"Should we become foes after our triumph, know that I will not hesitate to spill your blood."

Rangers often have to operate alone, but given the point of time this takes place, I would assume they still want to stop the Actual Bad Guy/Thing first.

gray umbra
#

Probably something really passive aggressive

#

Where its not so much bloodshed but clearly they think the part members are morons

#

Typical elf things

tough haven
rocky gale

#

Iron Warriors getting some respect

#

for once

rose thorn
#

YouTubers saying that the new LOTR box failed like they even play the system 😭

#

Warhammer YouTube is so painful

dusk patrol
#

Very nice Warsmith model

rose thorn
dusk patrol
#

Warhammer World variant exclusive model too

rose thorn
#

Didn’t even realize they were different models lol

dusk patrol
#

Just a reposted variant for WHW

spark nebula
#

When a heretic dies his soul goes to the warp correct
And the warp is just awful right

#

I'm trying to make sure the heretics don't have a good time in death

dusk patrol
#

Nobody is having a fun time generally

#

But often souls just dissipate, also it’s not super clear overall anyways

#

Sometimes they don’t or they get saved but we don’t know how often that is and yada yada

rose thorn
#

Everyone who dies go to the warp, depending on how much the chaos gods like you, you could be revived

#

If you are a chaos worshipper

#

Otherwise unless you have a way to interfere

#

Rip lol

shadow plover
#

for example in the night lords trilogy a marine kills an imperial astropath, then asks the other astropaths around her to tell when her soul stops screaming in the warp

dusk patrol
#

Most people’s souls don’t really do anything anyways

#

It’s only if you’re a psyker it takes longer

opaque coyote
#

Basically they just dress like they're from the 1700s

#

Literally the closest thing we can get to the actual Spanish Inquistion

#

Also for some reason it's just funny to imagine a woman in like

#

A powdered wig and frilly dress

#

Suddenly pulling out a Bolter

#

... though I guess nobles would count also lmao

rose thorn
#

hey @arctic talon do the DW veterans still have KT rules?

arctic talon
#

in Killteam?

#

the game?

#

no

#

just run them as Angels of Death or legionariees

#

if you want to proxy them

arctic talon
#

Angels of Death fits deathwatch

#

same with legionaries

#

if you refluff the chaos marks

#

A deathwatch specific one would prolly focus on SIA

rose thorn
#

whats in angels of death?

#

is it the uh, striek force box?

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

thank you!!

arctic talon
#

You can check the WHC downloads as well

#

they've got all the rules

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

That’s because it’s a graviton hammer

rose thorn
winter vessel
arctic talon
#

yeah GW is making all KT team rules free

arctic talon
winter vessel
#

no matter how they put it, its like they just strapped a lead brick to its arm

dusk patrol
#

The marine one is the graviton maul iirc actually.

Iron Warriors and Iron Hands were known to use them but others did too.

winter vessel
#

oh yeah, forgot the maul and hammer were two different things

opaque coyote
#

Hold another melee weapon or boxes

#

Only to accidentally crush it

#

Or something

dusk patrol
#

They didn’t shoot, or a lot we see didn’t, they were basically using the properties of grab weapons but with a melee weapon

opaque coyote
#

Like IK Marines are super human with heightened... Everything except reproduction.

But there must've been accidents with weapons like these

dusk patrol
#

Probably but they didn’t hand these out to just anyone either

#

Also IH and IW were uh…not legions who were overly concerned with collateral.

crystal forum
#

wdym IH were very careful to only hit civilians which were considered expendable

#

they're like concerned about collateral to comic evil level

dusk patrol
#

Well they’re generally not trying to hit them, they just don’t care if they do.

#

Which is slightly better

young pecan

"Sir, that orphanage is in the center of the blast radius"
"Why do you think I chose there"

gray umbra

"Perfect"

rose thorn
#

consideirng what fantasy civilzation i wanan base my flesh eater courts off of

#

(probably gonna be a military dictatorship)

opaque coyote
#

I think my favorite part of the first cain book

#

is when he was bewildered to the point of suspecting a Chaos incursion on Gravalax when he heard a T’au sympathizer call out saying “go back to your Emperor and leave us alone!”

#

like he legitmately couldn't understand somebody not thinking that the emperor was

#

the emperor

#

their leader, their god, the saviour of humanity

opaque coyote
rose thorn
#

left is him in reality, right is what he thinks he looks like

#

its SO

#

GOOD

#

GUH

#

peak age of sigmar fantasy

opaque coyote
rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

I think you should have it be a classic feudal kingdom turned into a madhouse basically

rose thorn
#

theres alot of kingdoms and all of them are really cool

opaque coyote
#

Humans chained to plates as the nobles politely tie a bib

rose thorn
#

the blisterskins are my favorite

opaque coyote
#

Making sure their forks are in the right place

#

Before cutting into their flesh while they scream

rose thorn
#

they worshipped the sun until tey were attacked by khorne, and then beleived angels came to save htem

#

(it was vampires)

#

and htey all went insane, believing htye are like angels whiel in reality they get cooked alive by the sun of shyish

#

you can smell them literal days away

rose thorn
gray umbra
#

Like real life civilizations or any fiction ones youre looking for inspo from?

gray umbra
#

Oh i was gonna say make them pre revolution france lol

opaque coyote
#

also make all the nobles have a weird sense of

#

manners

rose thorn
#

my flesh eaters worship Katakros

#

seeing him as a god of wisdom and warfare

opaque coyote
#

like if you're having a conversation when they're nearby. They'd at least let you finish before murdering you

rose thorn
#

(katakros)

opaque coyote
#

also is he like

rose thorn
#

he is a master of warfaer why wouldnt he

gray umbra
#

Thats a divine bulge to you

opaque coyote
#

metal or

rose thorn
#

bone!

opaque coyote
#

ah

rose thorn
#

eveyrthing you see in that picture that isnt stone

#

is made of bone

#

everything is made of bones

gray umbra
#

Guess you could call it a boner

opaque coyote
#

...well hopefully that bulge still contains one special bone

#

lewd jokes aside

rose thorn
#

the Ossiarch bonereapers enforce the BONE TITHE

opaque coyote
#

he does look cool

rose thorn
#

they demand a spceific number of bones

gray umbra
#

Scourge from wow maybe?

rose thorn
#

or they will murder them all

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

Like the death knights and shit

rose thorn
opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

yeah makes snese

rose thorn
#

they made everything out of bones, they also collect souls

#

to stitch together

#

into super soldiers

#

its so funny

opaque coyote
#

so i assume the flesh court have a sort of "deal" with them

#

they get the flesh

gray umbra
opaque coyote
#

their god gets the bones

rose thorn
#

the ossiarch hate all of the death factions

opaque coyote
#

LMAO

rose thorn
#

ossairch are the only like, actually organized death faction

opaque coyote
#

"Oh my god you're so cool! You-"

"I FUCKING HATE YOU."

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

I hope they talk like Death from the Castlevania anime

rose thorn
#

the 4 death factiosn are,

ossiarch: hyper organized military masters enforcing the collection of the bone tax
flesh eater courts: insane ghouls who think they are nobles
soulblight: vampires who fucking love politics
night haunt: the literal punished souls of the damned nagash spreading terror and suffeirng

gray umbra
#

Oh i get it now

#

Theyre like super insane

rose thorn
#

very

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

While the Ossiarch's hate them

#

lmao

rose thorn
#

ossiarch will use them or they will follow the ossiarch

opaque coyote
#

makes sense given that the flesh eater courts are delusional

rose thorn
#

but its very one sided

#

im thinkign maybe the court sees the enemy as rebels

#

attempting to over throw their king

#

they think they are like, a hyper organized military society

opaque coyote
#

politely cut into them while they're alive

rose thorn
#

interrogation scene

opaque coyote
#

"Oh, Lady Lauren. Would you try this human?"

#

"Oh quite delicious!"

rose thorn
#

the FEC dont think they are eating humans

opaque coyote
#

peasant screaming in agony and desperately trying to free themselves

rose thorn
#

OH let me send the reveal video its relaly goo

#

d

opaque coyote
#

a very

#

very rare steak

rose thorn
#

ye

gray umbra
#

I think the closest thing i can mentally associate these guys with are the crossed but with less rape

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

Or the vampires from darkest dungeon

gray umbra
#

Its a goreporn comic book

rose thorn
#

lmao

opaque coyote
#

"Oh try it mother! This is absolutely delicious!"

rose thorn
#

the delusion also spreads

gray umbra
#

Its like a zombie virus but instead of making zombies. It makes people terminally insane

opaque coyote
#

"I say!" she stabs an eyeball with a fork "This is quite good!"

gray umbra
#

And they start murdering and eating each other

rose thorn
#

if you spedn too much time near people infected with the delusion it can spread to you

gray umbra
#

Its a good concept but its a little too much

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

Yeah thats why i say it rekinds me of it

rose thorn
#

and the more poeple are infected the quicker it spreads

opaque coyote
#

like "oh no they went crazy and stabbed each other wow"

#

yawn

#

"Oh wow more horrific ways to die."

#

I honestly thought of a similar thing but like

rose thorn
#

Neferata also had a plot to poison as many people as possible by selling flesh eater court blood as wine

opaque coyote
#

Imagine if your friend just acts like normal

#

and then when you get near them

rose thorn
#

she isnt very cerative

#

and called it 'Kings blood'

opaque coyote
#

they suddenly go crazy and try to eat you

#

but when you run away they're just confused

rose thorn
#

its amazing

#

the con is, you are kinda an npc faction

#

but pro is

#

you are an npc faction

#

You think you are the main characters

#

and can make up as much as you want

#

because you ARE the heroes

gray umbra
#

The crossed spreads via typical zombie virus antics but the afflicted still have human level intelligence

#

Theyre just psychotic

rose thorn
#

i would say except not bad

#

but crossed probably isnt good either

gray umbra
#

Its bad because its just 100 percent goreporn and rape

#

But some people are into that i guess

rose thorn
#

lmao

gray umbra
#

Theres a part where they infect some guy because they shoot him non lethally with a rifle

#

But the bullets are infected because they jerked off on it

#

Like its that level of fucked up

rose thorn
#

reminds me of beserk right after it swapped writers

opaque coyote
rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

yeah

rose thorn
#

yeah

opaque coyote
#

tbf it's more like

#

vore

#

but yeah

#

💀

#

still fucked up

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
rose thorn
#

also DC zombies was pretty bad too

storm jungle
#

I say this having read all of it + its side content

#

"Wish You Were Here" is probably my ONLY favorite one because it actually focuses on people instead of "haha sexual assault"

gray umbra
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

Garth Ennis is also a wormy cocksucker so lol

gray umbra
#

like i think the concept is interesting but it just devolves into literally "haha rape"

storm jungle
#

Yeah this.

#

Its just gore for the sake of gore

#

it gets extremely boring

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

LMFAO YEAH THE LAST BIT

#

literally EVERY single female character gets assaulted or horribly murdered.

#

because thats how just Ennis writes women

rose thorn
#

ITS SO BAD 😭

#

Black butler was more tasteful lmao

gray umbra
#

is this after miura died

#

because berserk has always been like that after golden age

rose thorn
#

And I love black butler

opaque coyote
#

died

storm jungle
#

Berserk is pretty bad too but at least it has other shit in thats kinda interesting.

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

and the creator has more ideas in his head beside "haha woman getting her head flayed"

gray umbra
#

or "horsecock"

storm jungle
#

yeah lol

gray umbra
#

fucking stupid ass character

rose thorn
#

i will circle jerk about how amazing Griffith was and the intense subtlety in his writings

storm jungle
#

Ennis literally had a character whos mouth was a literal asshole

#

so beats me

rose thorn
#

Unironically one of the best ‘twist’ antagonists ever written

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

the violence has a point

#

Crossed is Ennis going "how can I hide my racism and sexism"

rose thorn
gray umbra
#

oh im totally gay for griffith

rose thorn
#

If you pretend they are both straight it’s pretty mid

opaque coyote
#

MUST

#

have a Big Sword

gray umbra
#

berserk is also from like the 90s where its big buff dude fucks shit up

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

seriously though I think Gigantic swords became more prevalent at least

partially due to berserk

gray umbra
#

probably. ever souls player just nuts over the iron greatsword

rose thorn
#

“My setting is based off my favorite series, beserk, chainsaw man, and (trying to think of a third one for this meme)”

gray umbra
#

because guts

rose thorn
#

GOBLIN SLAYER

#

YESSSS

#

LMAO

#

Perfect

gray umbra
#

i couldnt get past the 1st episode

opaque coyote
#

although tbf it's a gulity pleasure of mine

rose thorn
#

Me too

gray umbra
#

i was like "ah yes, more of this"

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

yeah the beginning is too out of tone for the rest of the series

#

ironically it's TOO dark

gray umbra
#

i mean for me its just like

opaque coyote
#

It has some point but it also is egregious

rose thorn
#

My guilty pleasure is my dress up darling, and I’m not even guilty about it

#

It’s a good romance

gray umbra
#

if you open up your anime with a rape then its like

opaque coyote
#

Yeah the worst part is that it's the only time where it's on screen

#

...that sounds really bad out of context

rose thorn
gray umbra
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

But basically

#

Yeah the rest of the time it's only implied at worst

#

again

rose thorn
#

I’ve seen too many backpacks of that guy in the gimp suit with black hair to care about the show at all

opaque coyote
#

the tone change is too much at the beginning

rose thorn
#

I can tell I’ll hate it

gray umbra
#

yeah i hear i just had a bad experience because i thought sword art online would be a good watch

#

and after that i was like "never again"

opaque coyote
#

I loved it

#

...

#

I was 12

rose thorn
#

Season one was so bad

opaque coyote
gray umbra
#

"wow an interesting plot"

rose thorn
gray umbra
#

"wait..is this..a harem anime.."

opaque coyote
rose thorn
rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

I think it even has a short side series

#

better than that even

#

primarily because the protagonist WASN'T Kirito

rose thorn
#

Crazy they made the video game anime

About a video game

opaque coyote
#

She shows up in like

#

one cameo

#

she cause kirito had a woman avatar

opaque coyote
#

abridged series ever

#

It's much better than it's source material

rose thorn
#

Lmao

#

Trying to remember some anime I watched

#

It was about phones that could see the future

#

And it was the first uh, yandere anime?

arctic talon
#

Chainsaw man is my favorite manga because fujimoto is a hilarious author

#

And also because I like the artwork and story

gray umbra
#

i think i enjoyed fma brotherhood the most

opaque coyote
#

the funniest shit ever

arctic talon
#

Tbh the characters in it are very human

#

If unhinged

#

In a variety of ways

opaque coyote
#

well kinda

arctic talon
#

Most characters are humans

opaque coyote
#

either way, it's why it isn't a completely depressing slog because jesus fucking christ

arctic talon
#

Fujimoto likes suffering

#

And Denji is the perfect victim for it

opaque coyote
#

poor bastard

arctic talon
#

There’s like 2 things with Fujimotos irl face and voice

#

One of them is him trying to levitate

#

And the other is him singing about his favorite food

#

Lol

rose thorn
#

Loved the first half of it

#

I hated the sudden shift

arctic talon
#

Oh do you not like the anime?

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

I c

rose thorn
#

There’s like, 3 things a show can do that makes me drop it and it did it

arctic talon
#

What are the 3 things

rose thorn
#

Lmao

arctic talon
#

Denji almost getting SA’d?

#

Or like

#

Death

#

Or something else

rose thorn
#

Suddenly revealing a weak and timid character is actually a hyper badass!!
Killing a bunch of characters for no reason for shock value
Giving a character some stupid pointless thing that is supposed to shift their entire character but literally establishes nothing hunterscreamat

#

I’m still annoyed about it

#

He was fine, he had perfectly fine motivations and was going to do things that ere gonan risk his life and was already established

#

Why introduce shit that it’s just a worse repeat of what’s already there

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

I c

#

Which character had the shift

rose thorn
#

Fuckinh uhh

arctic talon
#

Genuine question I’m curious

rose thorn
#

What’s his name

arctic talon
#

Sorry

rose thorn
#

I keep wanting to call him that one perosn from jjk

arctic talon
#

Just give me hair color

#

And gender

#

If you can remember

rose thorn
#

Black hair male

#

Has the fox thing

arctic talon
#

Oh Aki

rose thorn
#

Yeha aki

arctic talon
#

I don’t think anything felt like it shifted for me?

#

Unless I’m dumb

rose thorn
#

Back story, family did to gun demon and he is literally killing himself to kill gun demon

#

Valid

#

Based

#

Then they suddenly introduce what’s her name is really important to him, fridged her for no reason, and acted like THIS was his motivation

arctic talon
#

Not really?

rose thorn
#

THE CIGARETTE WHY WOUKD SHE WRITE THAT

arctic talon
#

His motivation is still to kill the gun devil

rose thorn
#

Yeah but it was to revenge his family

arctic talon
#

And that’s still his goal

#

Wait nvm I forgor

#

The anime cuts off

#

Fuck

rose thorn
#

Yeah lol

arctic talon
#

With the ball kicking thing

#

Lol

rose thorn
#

hunterscreamat THE CIGARETTE THING WAS SO STUPID

#

GUH

arctic talon
#

Lol

rose thorn
#

It’s not like he was planning to quit

#

She wanted him to quit

#

She died

#

And then now it’s a sign for him to not quit even more

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

Never forgive

#

Murder is the answer

rose thorn
#

why bother with her being a character

arctic talon
#

Himeno?

rose thorn
#

She existed to do nothing but die

arctic talon
#

It’s to represent the type of person devil hunting appeals to

rose thorn
#

And sa a kid

arctic talon
#

And how the life of one tends to go

#

That’s the point of Himeno

arctic talon
#

Hey she didn’t

#

Almost did though

#

💀

rose thorn
#

She touched him up lmao

arctic talon
#

Wait you’re right

#

In the anime she does grope him lmao

#

Lol

#

I forgor

rose thorn
#

I hate kobe, her motivation was cool until it revealed ‘she le epic badass!!!!’

#

And then I can’t stand her

arctic talon
#

Lol

rose thorn
#

Idk why they acted like demons were so rare to be apart of thr force

arctic talon
#

fiends aren’t that rare

rose thorn
#

Then was like ‘here’s 15 demon character lmaooo’

arctic talon
#

It’s weird they all got put together

#

In one group

#

Because fiends tend to like to shank humans for fun

rose thorn
#

Power is great, I adore her

arctic talon
#

5 if you don’t

rose thorn
#

I do count denji thry hyped that man up

arctic talon
#

Also ||the fact that all those fiends except for the spider devil were made out of the corpses of the special division 4 people killed with guns||

#

Is something that’s brought up later

arctic talon
#

He’s human

#

Even if his morality is fucked up lol

rose thorn
#

Lmao

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

No

#

Different

#

||fiends are devils occupying a human body, the human is dead||

rose thorn
#

Practically what’s the difference

arctic talon
#

||Denji and Katana man both have had the heart replaced by the devil itself||

arctic talon
#

Hybrids are the same person

#

And immortal

#

The devil becomes a non factor inside of the hybrid

#

While a fiend is the devil occupying and reanimating a corpse

#

Where the original person is entirely discarded except for some memories

#

Based on how decayed and damaged the corpse is

rose thorn
#

Ah

#

Anyway ouran host club peak fiction it’s my favorite fantasy setting

#

/j/j/j

rose thorn
#

HAHJEVWJVDUA

arctic talon
#

Also for a less fun thing Denji getting rhymes with grape will also be animated pain

rose thorn
#

Pfff

#

Shit I need to finish the new black butler season

arctic talon
#

Wrong image

rose thorn
#

Oh I was like

#

“Damn they dumped his ass off”

tough haven
#

How could I create a way for my party to break out of a private prison after being captured and tortured, I dont want it to be too ridiculous

gray umbra
#

This is in a hive right

#

Could make a deal with some hotshot ganger with connections

#

Do a whole prison break segment

#

Or a genestealer ;))

tough haven
tough haven
gray umbra
#

basically fall in with a group somehow thats planning a prison break like the gang boss idea

#

they're actually working with a genestealer cult

#

sounds neat in my head but maybe thats too much

rose thorn

Unironically that like, happens in necromunda lol

would it be possible lore wise for a kriegsman to end up in a strike team?

green loom
#

Entirely

#

Not sure if the new sets have them but the old ones had a lore bite saying grendyl grabbed a squad of them

wintry scarab
#

I never thought i could become more violent yet seeing this proves that wrong.

storm jungle
#

at that point its your fault my dude lol

wintry scarab
storm jungle
#

but yeah id get the complaint if it was out of the blue like the last time

rocky gale
#

So who’s gonna get their shiny new detachment today

shadow plover
#

Knights

#

Or Necrons

rocky gale
#

Checked the Admech one again, it’s Necrons

I wonder when the promised Deathwatch resurrection would show up lol

And in theory Agents should still be able to take them, but possibly with Battleline removed on Agents list

For reference...

# raven stone I can borrow a leaf from a Command and Conquer cutscene... Have whoever is back...

My original thought was that the hired guns that captured the party start beating them a bit, then all but like 2 of them leave to get some “information extraction equipment”, one of the guards tells the other one to leave so he can have some time alone with the prisoners for “payback” since the party killed one of his comrades. Once the other guard leaves though, the lone guard will tell the party that he wants out, since eventually once the cold trader that hires them will simply turn them over to the local commissar when they’re no longer useful, seeing as the hired guns are defector militarum. And will help the party get out somehow, as long as they help them get away from these people.

#

Not sure if I want him to just unlock their shackles and the cell door, or just give them their keys, how he could give the party a means to escape without himself getting caught, cause they will kill him if they find out

raven stone
#

Also there is implied to be some private time

#

So maybe this guy would be like...

"Remeber your promise. Oh, and word of adivce: don't choke on your food."

#

They’ve all been pretty good so far tbh

#

Only faction of mine that’s got a new one so far is the Nids but it’s great and focused on Warriors which are my main unit so it was huge

Oh Deathwatch Index is next after Necrons lol

So far it’s Death Guard, Dark Angels, Tyranids, Thousand Sons, Admech and now Necrons

Hey what are we voting for mini of the year for 40K?

#

AOS I’m voting the summer king

#

He’s so majestic and noble

#

Truly unmatched

#

Holy shit there was no good 40K minis

urban spire
#

you know it occurs to me that a space marine chapter would actually be really poorly suited to the fighting on atoma

#

every marine is a big xbox lumbering around with extremely powerful single target weapons poorly suited for dealing with hordes, all their vehicles are too big to fit except maybe the bikes, but lol

#

they've got flamers sure but they can't put a flamer on every tactical marine

rose thorn
urban spire
#

this really is a fight better suited to the guard

#

of course the guard isn't really available

queen laurel
urban spire
#

well even if you include the scouts there aren't many marines in a chapter, they cap out at a thousand after all

celest dome
#

SM would probably operate differently, like supporting the Moebian 53rd, and making them flush the Scab+Dreg toward area they can operate better

urban spire
#

also unlike the rejects they can't scavenge ammunition from the battlefield

urban spire
raven stone
#

In general, Space Marines only really excel in battlefields where Total Absolute Annihilation is needed or acceptable.

#

And given the apparent value of Moebian Steel

#

They are somewhat less suited if the Hive needs to be intact

urban spire
#

yeah even without the steel you don't really want to blow up the hive, atoma is important

queen laurel
#

If they actually want to support the rejects with a normal marine i wouldn't really say the day would be handicapped match

urban spire
#

a heavily melee oriented chapter might do well

queen laurel
#

After all strike teams can bring an ogryns

urban spire
#

i'm pretty happy there's no space marines in the game really, excepting the statues

#

much healthier for the scrappy feel

celest dome
#

Ye, it's the better choice narratively

urban spire
#

like even if the rejects do end up pretty powerful by rank 30, a space marine wouldn't have the rags to riches feel

#

not to mention it would be fuckin weird to have a marine in this type of story

#

i think the space wolves would be horrible for this engagement though, going back to the previous hypothetical

celest dome
#

Although, having us wipe the floor with some SM would have generated some sweet saltiness from SM fans

urban spire
#

there is a lot of scheming at work in atoma, i feel like they'd get outmaneuvered

#

i do want a csm bossfight

#

i know fatshark said no, but it would be cool

celest dome
#

I could be cool, but if it mean we get to see things that aren't seen as often, then I'm in favour of that choice

urban spire
#

nurglings would be a fun inclusion

raven stone
#

monkey's paw curls
they are implemented but hard as fuck to hit

urban spire
#

that's good for me, more enemies to monkey mash assail into

#

"fuck it, go my kidney stones!"

celest dome
#

Nurgling, i fear won't happen due to Ogryn, apart from Critters (which is also their uses in VT2)

urban spire
#

why would they not work with ogryn?

#

they're not THAT small

#

it'd be so much work to do them justice though, like compared to total warhammer

tough haven
#

“You lot had some fancy bit of kit on you, don’t worry, we’ll put it to good use, unless one of you leaves the armory unlocked again” and then I could have them give the party a look

#

And have him leave it unlocked

gray umbra
#

primaris vanguard marines might be useful in atoma

#

or if you really need to deal with horde clear, space hulk termies

#

or incinerator squads

queen laurel
#

They would probably have marines bring in teleporter beacons inside and then put them there

gray umbra
#

sounds like a good job for vanguards maybe

#

do the imperial fists still do the breacher shield thing

arctic talon
#

They should find where the leaders of the 6th/cult are

#

And just drop them in

queen laurel
#

yeah they are used when boarding ships and sieges

#

But yeah like elite said they would probably be deployed as an assassination squad by straight up just dropping it on the enemy base

gray umbra
#

Lol i can imagine fs finally caving into demands for sms, but you cant play as them and they show up just do exactly that

#

And your rejects mission is literally just to drop a beacon

radiant lance
#

They drop in and all instantly die to a daemon host

gray umbra
#

they miss the qte and get one shot by a mauler

Yall better be voting for Ushoran for best AoS Mini this year

My vote was:

  • Coteaz
  • Ushoran
  • Arvus
#

the Lion winning last year was some Grade-A crock of shit

#

worst case of primarch slop-effect ive seen

rocky gale
#

40k I was torn between Coteaz and the Sang Guard

storm jungle
#

Me and my entire friend group voted for Coteaz as the bigger Meme Vote

rocky gale

Can't remember which one I ended up picking

Sang Guard is a really funny choice as well tho

This shit better win 40k lol
