And then they went with Shalaxi and the nurgle dude for similar reasons

queen laurel
#

Kairos Fateweaver is the name

hallow saddle
#

Ohhhh is he?

#

Thanks, haha

arctic talon
#

Yeah rotigus, kairos and Shalaxi all share a kit

#

Skarbrand was also ironically a 40k release

#

Because whfb was in the process of being taken out back

#

And shot

queen laurel
#

yeah i give up with GW man i don't know how they work

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Same applies to all the newer khorne minis

#

Or it wasn’t dead

hallow saddle
#

Oh yeah lol, the bloodthirster kit does not build skarbrand, that's wild

arctic talon
#

I should specify it was going to die soon

celest dome
#

ET release

arctic talon
#

Yeah but he never got whfb packaging

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

In any case whfb is imo a case of the system fucking sucking to play

shadow plover
#

Wasn't Skarbrand model released after AoS release

arctic talon
#

And GW doing way too little way too late

arctic talon
#

It was khorne daemonkin release

shadow plover
#

AoS was launched in summer 2015 and Skarbrand fall 2015, no?

arctic talon
#

Uhhh

hallow saddle
#

My fav keeper of secrets is the forge world one, Zaraknyel. But you have to glue each individual fookin' spike on his leg and arm, absolutely wild

arctic talon
#

You might be right actually

hallow saddle
#

So obviously I did not buy that

arctic talon
#

The FW greater daemons are all very cool

hallow saddle
#

And I think he's quite small

arctic talon
#

Size of the normal one iirc

shadow plover
#

and Kairos a year or two after Skarbrand so neither were around when WHFB was still about

arctic talon
#

I know the lord of change is fucking huge

#

Autaeorokatres

#

Or whatever

hallow saddle
#

I mean come on, how cool is that

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Which art

queen laurel

#

It’s from the khorne daemonkin codex

so that's where it comes from

#

It is very ambiguous though

Yeah I saw that in the bathroom today

its surprisingly well done lmao

#

also i never even thought about whether primarchs have black carapace

vagrant fox
#

I've assumed since the custodes don't need them (iirc) the primarchs probably didn't either

spare osprey

that the bullet literally went smooth across his skull

#

that shit was so funny to me for some reason

storm jungle
spare osprey
#

i mean prince of pain and pleasure

#

prob falls under pain

crystal forum
#

plus they're so insanely strong already

shadow plover
#

they don't say that they have the black carapace, he just believes so and I think he is WRONG

green loom
#

They can potentially lift up a titan, carrapace or no their armour probably comes nowhere near the threshold of weight that they need effort for

#

I do find the thought funny though that since their armour has limited range of movement they have to actively memorize where and how their armour can break since if they just move howewer they'll rip it off themselves KEKW_ogryn

gray umbra
#

They probably dont really need any of the benefits a black carapace would provide

tough haven
#

Do you guys prefer tech priest voices to be completely expressionless or with limited range of emotion? Personally I prefer limited range of emotion, but the zero emotion can be fun sometimes

gray umbra
#

I like the autistic savant approach

#

Where they obviously have emotion but are super awkward at expressing it

#

I really like hadrons sarcasm module

Just like with people IRL I like any.

plus i dont even think black carapace canonically gives any extra resistance on its own. it's just an interface

maybe he confused black carapace with carapace armour

Been using a mod to take camera freeflight in the lobby

glorified security cameras?

dusk patrol

Glorified?!

#

Security cameras are subpar servo-observators!

Fair enough XD

storm jungle

The hub area also changes with every big update so they might be new, never noticed em before

Even that static shot of just that subtle candle strobe/glow effect is great

Definately

#

took this one as well

#

its why I noticed that secutiry servo skull

#

some really interesting models...outside the map I must say KEKW_ogryn There's an entire valkyrie just sitting at the very bottom of the map

#

Im guessing thats the loading screen

static wren
#

its also surprisingly small, I dont see how 25000 peeps cram in that spaceship

tight stratus
#

If you're icon is the same one i viewed yesterday I really enjoyed your darktide personalities video

static wren
#

thumbsup_ogryn glad you enjoyed :D

#

The terminal room is just huge

storm jungle
#

The moruningstar even as a frigate is sitll a pretty big ship

static wren
#

Yea I was thinkin' brahms has been very generous with the accommodation

storm jungle

Lmao yeah we are the lucky few being in the upper decks

its in the lower decks where you find the more populous undesirables

staregryn sheesh

tight stratus

whats actually rendered when I viewed it I think. Really love how little you need to do to give the impression of something grand

Yeeee its really well done

its all about POV illusions

with the right angles the human brain is very easy to trick

Ships follow the hive organization

The trex is at the bottom

alongside the chaos cult, and the local death cult

#

The Mourningstar has a t rex?

static wren
#

this is the hub ain't it?

humble shoal
#

Brunt is currently taming it

spare osprey

well i'll be damned

tight stratus
#

yeah i could be off, it was a rough estimate from my time flying around 10 minutes ago 👍

hallow plover
#

I thought brunt was missing

static wren
#

here it is on the mourningstar I remember flying out with free cam a few weeks ago

humble shoal
#

You think the people on the bridge know about the t-rex?

#

Even Brahm doesnt know

spare osprey
#

god i can't imagine how bad it'd be as a member of the slave-crew on an imperial ship, let alone chaos

tight stratus
#

Eugene Wheeler seems to do just fine, don't know why you're complainin'

Pretty much as bad as the average hive city citizen

something i've wondered for like ever

#

y'all think a void born could become a space marine?

static wren
#

alright warriors, today we'll be killing rinda for the 15th time here we go

hallow plover
#

Would a Mourningstar mission/operation be possible?

spare osprey
#

a boarding action (defending or attacking) would be cool

tight stratus
#

Void born? I will have to look into what these people are. To the lexicanum i go

hallow plover
#

Shit would have to go bad though

humble shoal
spare osprey
#

nope

#

lot more simple

tight stratus
#

"Void Born are Imperials who are not born on the Imperium's worlds, but instead within the void of space. This includes asteroid mining installations, Space Stations and spacecrafts, with some void born being born as these vessels travel through the Warp.[1]"

spare osprey
#

humans born in space after multiple generations of being there

#

like the space farers in all tomorrows

#

but less fart propelled

tight stratus
#

Something called "Darkholders" as well which are related to Void Born

#

They sound like Void Born vampire witches

Ah was thinking of the cloning project guys

#

Anyway, probably

tough haven
tight stratus

I still love these guys and love the fact they're on our side of all things despite looking like they should be saturday morning cartoon villains

#

Would love to do a mission in Darktide where we're just trying to catch up with one of these in a mission or something and watching them pull of all kinds of crazy shit in front of our eyes

I dont want to go anywhere near an eversor

#

Dear jesus

humble shoal
tight stratus
#

What's more wild seeing an Eversor or a Beast of Nurgle?

Isn't the only reason we're seeing a Beast of Nurgle means that someone has royally fucked with reality itself for us to be fighting one?

dusk patrol
dusk patrol
#

Any assassin is wildly rare

#

Culexus would be the rarest

#

But you’re not gonna see most of them anyways

#

And with an Eversor you might see a blur before it caps you while going by at Mach 2

#

They don’t play well with others typically

humble shoal
#

Yeah eversor

#

Eversor means the imperium no longer cares about the hive existing anymore

tight stratus
#

Hold up

plush mason
tight stratus
#

What sort of power level are we talking here for an Eversor

#

what COULDNT they kill easily

plush mason
#

a titan maybe

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

Eversors have dueled Solitaries and taken on multiple CSM and CSM champions at once

#

They’re not all made equal

#

But still

#

Way above our pay grade

humble shoal
#

Also when eversor finally dies, he blows up

#

With a nuke basically

dusk patrol
#

And then he explodes

plush mason
#

a walking virus bomb

dusk patrol
#

Well not quite that but it’s a big boom

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

Anyways the point is

#

We wouldn’t wanna be deployed with one

humble shoal
#

All of the other assasins are supposed to have a specific target

#

Not just general kill shit

tight stratus
#

Most of what I'm reading on Eversor's are that they are deadly. Almost always in cryostasis up until the very start of a mission, and actually survive for a very little duration of lifetime but because they're always in cryostasis, they actually live pretty long

#

Not much on the things they've done, killed etc

dusk patrol
humble shoal
#

Imagine an eversor gets deployed, used corrupted stims

#

Gets turned to nurgle

dusk patrol
#

Wiped out whole cults and cells of whatever

#

They’re not all the same level but

plush mason
#

eversors are deployed to sow terror behind enemy lines, they kill commanders and anything else they find iirc

dusk patrol
#

They’re very dangerous

#

They’re there when you don’t care about collateral

humble shoal
#

And the thing is, they do not understand what a friendly is

dusk patrol
#

It takes two years minimum to approve one’s usage

dusk patrol
#

They just don’t care

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

They’re all psychopaths, they love to kill

plush mason
#

you walk into the eversor's killzone thats on you

dusk patrol
#

They’re given carte blanche mostly but can be directed if needed

humble shoal
#

But yeah the other 3 assasins ypu wouldntnsee

tight stratus
#

Out of interest, wasn't the concept of us not only running into, but walking away alive from a daemonhost something incomprehensible up until Darktide?

I'm sure its not out of the realms of possibility

plush mason
#

daemon hosts range in power and threat level afaik

dusk patrol
#

Depends

#

Gaunt’s ghosts they fight some

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

There generally dangerous but the ones were fighting are pretty basic

#

More powerful ones get wild

#

Daemonhost boss: corrupted exprcists chapter sm

dusk patrol
#

These ones seem sloppily bound too

humble shoal
#

You would not see all 4

#

As their jobs are completely different

dusk patrol
#

It’s unlikely they’d ever get deployed tbh

plush mason
#

the 4 assassin temples rarely get along

tight stratus
#

I wasn't suggesting all 4, just to see one would be cool

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

It depends but assassins are rarely used

#

And only for super key targets generally

#

Which this world doesn’t seem to be

humble shoal
#

Could see the blank ones if typhus shows up

plush mason
#

hell they had a whole ass civil war in the imperial palace at one point lol

#

Based off the help that’s been given

plush mason
#

on that note, i cant believe Rannik didnt know there was a cult untill now

humble shoal
plush mason
#

i thought he was just keeping the crew in the dark

dusk patrol
#

It’s likely Grendyl has already requested as much help as he can and there hasn’t been an answer or there’s been rejections

humble shoal
dusk patrol
#

Especially with his unconventional method of fighting the war

plush mason

Wolfer has such a trustable face and nose

The one you posted is fantasy but yeah its used for both

tight stratus
#

Ah my friend on voice call said much the same thing just now, thanks Dilara

#

Im not used to those worlds crossing over but apparently it used to happen a lot more

storm jungle
#

Yeah but that is a case of "haha funny references"

#

this is more "We are lazy and chaos is in both settings anyway who gives a shit yeet"

#

which is understandable

rocky gale
#

Warhammer Fantasy actually takes place on a temporally locked world inside the eye of terror.

storm jungle
#

no

rocky gale
#

GRRM told me so

storm jungle
tight stratus
#

is anyone excited for the amazon series thing

#

or do we have low expectations

rocky gale
#

The deal only just went through, it's too early to be excited for anything

storm jungle
#

We also literally have no idea whats it gonna be.

#

I doubt its gonna be something super high budget as GW rarely can ever scrounge up the money for that kind of content, unless they do a hail mary and funnel it all through the next few years into some big movie of sorts.

hallow saddle
#

i think amazon are funding it no?

#

cause they have the rights to make it, so i think theyre making it entirely and then gw approves the IP stuff

tight stratus
storm jungle
#

even when we get high cut animation its like 3 episodes for a reason.

#

shit is expensive

Generally amazon shows have been okay so i dont think it would be bad

And they'd probably still brawl and fight each other

tight stratus

rocky gale
#

and if I remember rightly the coin is a reference to history where Caesar made a coin with his face on one side and Octavian on the other (Caesars Will would adopt Octavian as his son and he would go on to become Augustus the first Emperor)

So the ending implies that you become Caesars heir

Red bandanna 🤔 Possible converted Catachan Jungle Fighter formerly?

I read some lore that apparently even Catachan Jungle Fighters that get converted to a Genestealer end up wearing their bandannas anyway because no matter how strong the brainwashing is, something remains from the Catachan bond that stays there fighting in the mind or something

#

thought that was super cool

hallow saddle

also catachan didnt invent the bandana

# storm jungle MUH SHADY SANS

Tbh the only thing that I found weird was the kinda confusing way that they uh

Kinda switch it's location?

But tbf, they also did that inbetween Fallout 1 and Fallou 2

#

So I guess it's tradition at this point to have Shady Sands basically be Bikini Bottom in that one episode

#

Could have also moved due to other reasons but I don't think that was

#

ever explained?

#

Either way, Shady sands is some type of spatial anomaly

loud badge
#

It's good

opaque coyote
#

The Fallout games were never accurate in terms of positioning of towns anyways. Mainly for gameplay

#

Unless of course, you want to walk 10,000 miles of desert '

loud badge
opaque coyote
#

Honestly IK this sounds like

#

fucking moneyshilling

#

But I do unironically want a remake of FO1 and Fo2

#

Keep the story the same

But with modern gameplay

#

Would also make it reasonable for why everything looks like shit

#

Because they're JUST recovering from the apocalypse

#

Honestly, if there is one thing I don't like, it's that Fallout 2 set a precedent for society evolving, and Bethesda

#

...

#

kinda ignored it?

#

Also the Brotherhood melting the NCR Gold Storage just to make caps the currency again

#

Like come on that

#

that wasn't necessary

Isnt taking an interest in nurgle strains like Grendyl is doing kinda sus

Nah its kind of his job

#

Its a constant fine line for inquisitors

#

Of course you get the purge first dont ask question types

tight stratus
#

Sure thing, I got another quest8ion

#

Grendyl speaking to us through the hologram, why was their multiple faces showing up? Was there any symbolism to read into there? Or just everything is faulty and breaking down?

gray umbra
#

Not sure if it was explicitly explained

#

My guess is he doesnt want to show his face

#

Assuming only his close circle knows what he or she looks like

opaque coyote
#

No other reason

gray umbra
#

Probably

opaque coyote
#

He's an inquistor

#

he can have a bit of fun

#

If you want a personal headcanon

#

I imagine them to be faces of old famous Inquistors

#

Or maybe his previous mentors

#

As if they are one continous "line" instead of mortal people

#

Servants of the God Emperor.

#

It doesn't matter his name

#

The title matters

#

A title held by hundreds of thousands

#

They are his word

#

and so they speak in unison

storm jungle
#

We dont need to know who he is.

#

He just has a job for us, he knows most of the people in that room will likely not live for a week and its very possible its just a repeated/recycled transmission for each batch of new penal soldiers.

#

Like a VHS tape being rerecorded

most Inquisitorial agents dont ever sometimes see the Inquisitor they work under.

The grenade Titus drops into the tank has a primary explosion and a secondary bright blue explosion once the corrupted fuel in the tank’s reactor explodes – who knows what unholy mixtures they were abusing its machine spirit with, but we can be sure the Omnissiah does not approve.

I thought the blue explosion was from what they placed on the side of the tank.

A Genestealer being souped up in Power Armor for some reason

#

IDK maybe some Cultists went towards their patriarch

#

and decided

#

"Hey boss, we can soup you up"

#

noise of confusion

#

"We got some power armor and servitor pieces from our last raid. We can make you even more powerful."

#

noise of thought

#

communication towards Hivemind

#

Hivemind allows

#

noise of affirmation

#

"Cool"

#

Imagine this MF but with a bunch of power armor strapped to it

#

I think like a Mechanicus adjacent Genestealer cult would do it

#

Like the Bladed Cog

opaque coyote
#

#

I really like the Noise of X answers.

opaque coyote
#

So I just thought that like

paper haven
#

Mental screech

"Hmm. Fair point."

opaque coyote
#

They don't really communicate via a language

#

They just sort of

#

Beam their thoughts and it's interpreted via the human(???) mind

#

Like you hear something vague and you interpret this as "Yes"

paper haven
#

Aren't the cultists basically being mind controlled too?

opaque coyote
#

Yeah but it's partially genetic

paper haven
#

Genetic mind control?

#

I should probably look up how genestealers actually work

opaque coyote
#

Your consciousness kinda gets suppressed

#

But also not really

#

You think some of the actions you do are your own but it's not

#

Basically it rewrites your very instincts to serve the Tyranids

#

Think about how much of our lives are controlled by instinct

#

Hunger

#

Thirst

#

Lust

#

Etc.

#

Now imagine if all of those instincts are entirely rewritten

near wasp
#

also seing the genstealers as an embodiment of the emperor and that they will save your soul also helps

opaque coyote
#

That too lmao,

near wasp
#

faith is an important aspect of the soul in 40k

#

theres a reason genstealers take advantage of the humans natural affinity to worship beings

opaque coyote
#

Actually now that I think about it

#

Do 5th gen Genestealers like

#

Have some human habits

arctic talon
#

lol this cover goes hard

arctic talon
#

they're purestrains

opaque coyote
#

Like usually there's 4 generations before it resets back to a pure strain Genestealer

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Very minor

#

Usually like paler skin or something

#

And I wonder if they like... Have a couple of human habits

#

Not enough to disobey the hive mind

#

But I find it funny to imagine a Pure strain Genestealer getting into Video Games or something

near wasp
#

i mean they are human enough to decieve people

opaque coyote
#

And brainwash them

#

Only around 3rd gen are they actually uh

#

Humanish? Enough

near wasp
#

just some casual indoctrination

opaque coyote
#

Lemme get the generation chart

opaque coyote
#

4th Gen are usually indistinguishable from humans

#

Except for being Bald because that's a sign of being evil

#

Just look at Horus-

#

But baldness aside. They are supposed to look completely normal

#

They just usually have pinker skin in art to differentiate them easier

#

Do not ask how the 5th gen happens. I doubt they know either.

arctic talon
#

generally speaking it varies™️

#

and besides

#

more odd skin colors/textures are considerded acceptable mutations

opaque coyote
#

Imagine the Genestealer cultists going to a tanning salon

#

💀

opaque coyote
#

Ig it depends on genetics

arctic talon
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Like sometimes 4th gens have regular skin tines

#

And sometimes they're just

#

A bit pinkier

#

"Why the fuck do you look like raw meat bruh-"

#

"I don't-"

#

"You look like you're sunburnt all over bruh. The skin is smoggy how the fuck did you manage that?"

#

"I AM TRYING TO KILL YOU!"

#

"With that dollar store ass Auto gun?"

#

"Fuck outta here bruh"

Why is guilliman so scared about people learning about imperium secundus, and rotigus going out of his way to steal a book about it? It's no worse than imperium nihlus, no?

At the end of the last plague wars book, iirc

Again dont apply your logical POV to literal ill-informed crazy medieval-mindsetted rulers and other people in big places on the Imperial bureucracy

#

Hallowette refers to shipmistress brahms as Emora. Is me finding this information at all novel or has lore chat been hip to this? I just heard this line today!

storm jungle
#

Id say novel because the playerbase in general doesnt realise how much narrative stuff is packed into the most random passive dialogue chatter/mission banter KEKW_ogryn

south gorge
#

Lol okay! I love little tidbits like this-- hope their talk goes well-- Hallowette doesn't seem like the kind of person to fit well in a public discord either; so I suppose it's warranted she squirrel her lore tidbits away KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

Yeah shes also a part of Brahms' crew tho hence the first-name basis

#

but at large shes more of a side-character compared to the main cast with Rannick, Zola, Morrow and so on

south gorge
#

A slippery member of Brahms' crew at that!

queen laurel
south gorge
#

The amount of shit she's pulled with Mr. Melk is borderline comical.

queen laurel
#

basically making her brahm's right hand

arctic talon
#

Yeah she’s the senechal to Brahms

storm jungle
#

Also at her core shes a swindler

south gorge
#

Hallowette is one of the most senior and favoured members of Brahms' retinue. Alice manages the income and finances for Brahms due to her penchant for entrepreneurship and business. Often managing ventures in black-market trading, smuggling, and a variety of other illicit or underhanded activities.
As is typical of a Rogue Trader's crew, she is both a privateer and pirate...she will torture and dispose of any who threaten the profits and order of the ship in ever more creative ways.

storm jungle
#

Also that yeah uh, she does actively have people killed

#

even threatens Morrow sometimes but those are more empty threats

south gorge
#

Yes! With one of those poison pistols that fucking assassins use!!!

#

I forgor the name loregryn

#

The needler ones

#

Hallowette is a Warmongher for sure.

#

manages her own active pirate fleet and everyfing]

storm jungle
#

well its less fleet more just a smuggler channel

queen laurel
#

she is strapped

storm jungle
#

well yeah its 40k you need to be strapped

queen laurel
#

Because even in the calmest of places in warhammer there is something out there to kill you

south gorge
storm jungle
#

Well hers is probably is

#

Hallowette is just running he rown side-gig to make extra credit since shes a smuggler at heart

Question

#

Are there ogryn psykers ?

winged jacinth
#

Precisely one afaik

queen laurel
fervent folio
#

Is it Nork Deddok ?

winged jacinth
#

One natural one

queen laurel
#

The biggest example would be cassia

#

A female psychic Ogryn

winged jacinth
#

There are artificial psyker ogryn mutant type guys in the necromunda lore but cassia is a real psyker

#

There will presumably be more as time progresses

queen laurel
#

Yes thanks to the current state of the warhammer universe psychic ogryns are becoming more and more a thing

fervent folio
#

Oh the hijinks the small brain of an ogryn could come up with given the infinite powers of the warp

winged jacinth
#

ogryn are just pooly educated, and being a psyker is apparently correlated to them being even more intelligent than average

queen laurel
#

they are only given the barest of educations

winged jacinth
#

cassia can read and write and stuff since someone bothered teaching her

queen laurel
#

yes

winged jacinth
#

i think she speaks high gothic even lol

queen laurel
#

They can learn if you teach them but it's probably gonna take a while because they are like Cavemen

winged jacinth
#

if you threw a baby ogryn in the schola they'd probably do ok is the current stance i think

rose thorn
winged jacinth
#

but the imperium intentionally keeps them from developing any intellectual culture

queen laurel
#

yeah because if they do they end up like the ones in necromunda

winged jacinth
#

i wonder if someone writing for the game read my messages about this a while ago because i started hearing lines about how "the future of mankind is psykers and ogryn" after my campaign to convince people that ogryn psykers were the perfect form of imperial human

winged jacinth
humble shoal
humble shoal
#

Not like say custodes/primarch

queen laurel
#

because they became smarter, that the imperium treat them like slaves

winged jacinth
#

oh yeah that

#

yes that is the reason ogryn are not educated and get the bone'ead program

queen laurel
winged jacinth
#

i think my specific gag was that fabius bile was wasting his time on the New Men because ogryn existed and were even becoming psykers

its definitely the best kinda of era implementation

It's based off the late 18th century French Revolution and Reign of Terror during Robespierre's ascension; hell the era's called The Reign of Blood as a tribute, and Vandire is French name; the Sisters of Battle use French Catholic Fleur-de-lis, which was the symbol of the French coat of arms right before the revolution which installed Robespierre into power.

Also I wonder

#

So the Men of Iron, what few tidbits we have, are interesting

#

Apparently UR-025 has met the "real Omnissiah" and considers the Emperor false

#

So they do practice a religion similar to the Mechanicus

#

Possibly

#

Probably with less oil and shit

tough haven

Or just modern men of iron in general

It also seems to

Although see itself above humanity
