Sorry my internet is going in and out, there weren't any other messages when I sent that, latest message was the one about holding the sword reverse grip
rocky gale
Like this, but disguised as a walking cane
hallow saddle
I vote that holding a sword in a reverse grip is not cool and also insanely dumb every time
Its literally shit
dapper gyro
Thank you brother!

You’re just mad you can’t do it
queen laurel
don't ask how you use it
hallow saddle
U sacrifice all your range for the sake of aesthetics
Which is absolutely dumb
Instead of adding to the length of your arm it now is limited by the length of your arm
Not based
dapper gyro
Reversed grip reduces the movement you can do, even more so for longer weapons.
dusk patrol
Yeah but you get a x3 style points modifer
hallow saddle
Meanwhile the guy holding his sword in front just stabs you
dusk patrol
Which helps you get your combo score up faster
rocky gale
Yea, it's basically showing off that you're so based that you don't need the extra length
hallow saddle
It was dumb when Cavill did it in the witcher too
dusk patrol
Next you’re gonna say taunting is dumb
dusk patrol
Gunkata
dapper gyro
Like, Titus, I know that you don't like to follow the Codex, but it never says anything about grip. You don't need to be different in this case.
dusk patrol
Tbf he doesn’t fight like that much
He’s just holding is like that cause he wants to look dope for his father figure
dapper gyro
Next, let Titus reversing grip a hammer for +40'000 style point.
hallow saddle
It's time to face it
dusk patrol
When he’s going to town on people properly he uses the traditional grip
And also he holds his sword correctly
summer mural
the sword grip is ..okay
flicking the axe was kinda unnecessary ngl
although it was nice to see a space marine literally run through a truck or whatever it was
rocky gale
Impaling the cultist on the axes handle was pretty baller
dapper gyro
It is an all terrain vehicle, it is not that strong.
summer mural
I like the punching them to the ground personally
and smashing them on his helmet
he literally gave that dude the " the fucking nerve on this guy" look when the guy took a shot at him
storm jungle
flicking the axe was kinda unnecessary ngl
okay THAT ill defend because its just there to look cool.
summer mural
also, they carry around a dude in a suitcase 
dapper gyro
One of my main nitpick about the eps is how the bolt pistol can leave dent on the SM helmet. Then the SM just pick up a random, very thin piece of metal on the ground and it can stop a gatling bolter fire.

Need another?

THOSE are the only point that annoed me, will 100% agree.
The bolt i can maybe wave away saying it didnt have the distance to prime itself (which itself is a really inconsistent feature on 40k media) but them tanking a fucking Punisher gatling cannon with a literal scrap plate from the floor was dumb.
Otherwise liked it.

Like... 2/4 dudes have shield, and their shield are super thick, but the random piece of scrap can tank more damage than their armour and shield...

It’s a titan tilting shield
rocky gale
Fact checked in real time
storm jungle
but yeah its there because they gotta die to the daemon
it makes it more gripping
ish
dusk patrol
Now I do agreed it’s dumb they dropped their shields
hallow saddle
oh yeah it's from the crashed imperial knight?
summer mural
also it was nice to see them actually die
dusk patrol
But it is literally a titan grade piece of armor
hallow saddle
Cause yeah they walk beneath its wreckage
storm jungle
Now I do agreed it’s dumb they dropped their shields
It happens so fast i literally had to rewind to check if they had shields and my brain wasnt just filling in the gap
hallow saddle
Didn't clock that's where the shield is from
dusk patrol
You also see a Titan power claw at one point

Titus' lore is basically uh
Space Marine 1 pre-release lore content, all minor stuff for each of his squadmates including him, along with setting up his history with Memeroth
White Dwarf content released decades after pre-SM2, explaining where he was all this time in the gooner-freezer
SM2 which largely doesnt do anything with him, hes just resistant to the Warp ala SM1 because hes just tough.
The lore drop we got now with this animation.

someone probably gave him a cookie as a child and then took it away before he could finish it and thats traumatized him ever since
dusk patrol
Like maybe he didn’t get a lunchly when all the other kids had them
rocky gale
He got one but it was the only mouldy one
summer mural
also the cultist tech was nicely animated ngl
i like that they had blue garbage stuff
I also like how marneus calgar didnt show up at the end singing christmas carols
rocky gale
I like the blue goo
summer mural
same
hallow saddle
The blue goo was cool but it kind of cribbed Astartes' notes a bit
rocky gale
Did Astartes have blue goo?
hallow saddle
Like when they step into the orb chamber, it's a similar thing for a second
summer mural
is astartes at episode 50 by now?
hallow saddle
It's blue glass fragments and blue footprints for a sec
I rewatched it the other day (still insane)

He scans the rubble and the area as he’s walking
So he would know
summer mural
isnt that his dow console
dusk patrol
That being said I do agreed it doesn’t make much sense why they dropped their shields
dapper gyro
SM armour is make of some of the supposedly finest material, and their shield are even more durable (for obvious reason)... yet that 💩 is still a thing. It is just funny to me.
dusk patrol
I imagine it was easier to animate
summer mural
probably true yeah
dusk patrol
But a titan or knight tilting shield is still gonna be made of insane stuff
Literally designed to easily shrug off much stronger hits than a leman rush can dish out
summer mural
also, my fav moment was when the marine climbed up on the truck and the way he sawed that guy in the cockpit
that was slick
dusk patrol
Especially a punisher Russ
That whole part was just them fucking around largely anyways
Once they fight the Tzaangors they get more efficient
hallow saddle
Its way thicker than the armour and the shield to be fair
summer mural
I completely forgot they have that fight in the dark with the blue goo
hallow saddle
So maybe not that dumb
dusk patrol
Possibly a better shield
storm jungle
Once they fight the Tzaangors they get more efficient
I like the 3 awkward "ends" to the fight where they are always gonna walk off but get attacked again.
summer mural
yeah
storm jungle
This is the subtle way the director uses to remind us Tzaangors are fucking annoying
summer mural
dusk patrol
It’s a reference to Marvel civilians and how they treat mutants

also is it normal for 4 space marines to do a mission, I feel like media is always sending them around in few numbers for production reasons

sending marines instead of the guard on a suicide mission to fight cultists

rocky gale

Menatus does say “a child filled with pain and rage”
And seems to feel bad about how he made him what he is to some degree

dusk patrol

"In the aftermath of the battle, Calgar and the Ultramarines congratulate Titus for his efforts and formally welcome him back into the chapter. Calgar receives the Laurels of Victory from Calgar as it is revealed that the Chaplain monitoring him is none other than Leandros.[12g]"
storm jungle
I loved people calling out the Leandros dumb twist from the moment they met the chaplain sometimes, its great
people also treating it like some huge spoiler was funny when the game barely hangs on it lol
summer mural
I hope we can post spoilers here, I should have probably thought of that before

Welp, for Christmas my co-worker gifted me these two. He’s the only other person besides me who can strike up a convo about 40k

But he looked me dead in the eye and said “don’t expect me to buy you every book”.
To which I replied “for your health, both financially and mentally, let’s keep it that way”

That’s an opinion

Just saying, it's an entire faction reveal vs a single Primarch
Not saying any of these models are better than Fulgrim

TLDR: Any cool lore I should know about in the 40k Universe?
Thinking of doing a Dark Heresy 1 shot that my brother is doing. (Warhammer DnD type of thing)
I was thinking of doing a Psyker or a servo skull as my character. Im still up for any other characters in the 40k universe.
Does anyone have any lore recommendations?
rocky gale
Don't think there's rules for playing a Servo Skull in Dark Heresy, but you can be a Psyker
It's pretty fun
But uhh I guess if you're looking for recommendations might be good to look at any of the Inquisitor novels (Eisenhorn, Ravenor, Bequin) or even the cliffnotes for them, they're our best exploration of the Inquisition
crystal slate
I don't know much about psyker lore. All I know is that his wife is playing a sister of silence, and apparently they are enemies.
My first intro to 40k was darktide.
I looked up lore surrounding the Mechanicus (idk how to spell) and that was pretty cool.
rocky gale
Not enemies necessarily, but they are kinda opposites. Sisters of Silence are sometimes used as like jailers for psykers or sent to hunt them etc
SoS have the Pariah gene which makes them blank, basically means they have anti psyker auras
crystal slate
bout to be a buff psyker.
"Dont need my mind to bonk"
Bring my Dark souls builds to the light
crystal slate
Are there any other peeps that are a blanks?
rocky gale
Because like every person is subtly connected to the warp and has minor latent psyker potential even if they can't do anything with it, it's part of their soul, being a Blank means you're anti warp though, so being around them makes often other people uncomfortable
So a lot of are unfortunately killed young because they innately creep people out with their vibes, some manage to survive on their own but most that survive end up being taken by the Imperium and inducted into whatever organisation needs them
Most women go to the Sisters of Silence and most men go the Assassin Temples
But honestly if you're doing a oneshot you don't need to know a whole lot, I've seen oneshots with people who don't know much about 40k before and it often causes the funniest situations
celest dome
The Officio take both male and female
As for Sister, iirc there are some lines about them not taking outsider and it being their own daughters
But I'm not sure where that would be
storm jungle
Yeah they also run entire genetic breeding experiments for future Blank candidates
rocky gale
Like I watched a stream where one of the guys had no clue about 40k but everyone else did, he was playing a Psyker and was casually talking to a Priest and said "Yea I regularly allow myself to succumb to the greater powers of the warp" and everyone else at the table just went "What the fuck is wrong with you" and it led to a hilarious half hour ordeal of them trying to stop the Priest executing their Psyker.

cleaning their armor and weapons and taking baths is 90% of their job

No definitely not one to one

Depends on the assassin
vagrant fox
Depends on if you want to consider augmented humans or not
summer mural
how augmented is a vindicare
storm jungle
Uhhh here and there
summer mural
like do they get special eyeballs?
summer mural
fair enough
storm jungle
they are pretty much Generic Advanced Bio-Assassin
like if you've seen any semi-superhuman assassins in sci-fi its essentially that
storm jungle
Yeah they are just based
summer mural
all the other assassins seem super juiced up though
storm jungle
well yeah its their job
dusk patrol
Some Kasrkin are
But regardless they’re not at that level
Assassins are insanely fast
And have some wild equipment
summer mural
eversor is well..yknow, callidus has that thing going on with the shapeshifting and the special sword which literally no other type of hoomie gets to use
storm jungle
Yeah but remember they are also largely solo-operators
dusk patrol
It depends on the assassin since they’re not all made equal but they’d be more than a match for quite a large number of guardsmen
storm jungle
its why minus Eversor thye always avoid direct confrontation
they can take a small group or someone normal 1v1
dusk patrol
storm jungle
its pretty much like stealth games tbh
summer mural
yes, I mentioned they dont exactly seek open conflict apart from eversor, which makes sense since its in the job description probably
storm jungle

what do culexus get sent to do
Extreme threats
They’re the rarest assassins
Hardest to make
storm jungle
stuff like uh
Chaos Sorcerors, Ork Weirdboys, Psychic Nids, Eldar Farseers, human psykers etc
storm jungle
they can kill normal folks too but its like getting a tank to blow up a jetplane
its not the right tool for the job even if it will kill it
summer mural
they basically shut them down right, in terms of psyker abilities
storm jungle
Yeah basically
or just make them wanna kill themselves
they also fire anime laser beams from their helmet which is anti-psyker energy
dusk patrol
Also unless you’re a blank yourself, they’re awful to be around when they got their aura going
Even tau with almost no signature get fucked up
summer mural
yeah the vomiting and discomfort and all that good stuff

summer mural
eversor is just so unironically funny
storm jungle
the're double-cheeked up tho so its ok

Eversors are just nutty
Chaos champions, Solitaires
Good fucking luck if you see one, even if you kill it
The good news is you probably won’t see it
Most assassins you won’t ever see
storm jungle
this official artwork probably sums them up the best
like this eversor is 100% dying

but the berserking is just hilarious to picture, like imagine you're having your wholesome sunday cultist gathering and an eversor shows up with its skullface and just kills everyone in a killing spree then blows itself up

and yeah they also get put in cryo between missions
so all they know their entire life is waking up and killing
summer mural
yeah they get deployed from a cryo chamber
storm jungle
they sometimes also literally get SHOT into the target location
if uh sneaking isnt an option
summer mural
then they get their assignment and shoot up drugs and go off they go
dusk patrol
Also they’re enhanced a lot to live longer anyways
Their augmentations are compared to marine ones but for a different purpose
vagrant fox
Vox In The Void has some stories following an eversor from recruitment to death that I genuinely liked, too bad it's not canon
summer mural
they basically maximize their pain tolerance and stuff
dusk patrol
Depending on the temple, and they’re all fast as fuck
Hard to track for marines and able to keep up with even Solitaires and Slannesh champions on extreme speed drugs in the case of Eversors
storm jungle
Yeah their job is to kill the target and get out fast, they are enhanced enough to handle small-to-medium engagements if things go to shit but its basically like playing a stealth game, you can take out an entire base sure but they wont really stop coming so its better to just gtfo
summer mural
Hard to track for marines and able to keep up with even Solitaires and Slannesh ...
thats pretty wild
solitaires are some mean aliens
dusk patrol
Their fairly resilient but their best defense is not getting hit
storm jungle
solitaires are some mean aliens
Its a bit overplayed
again remember its 40k
Theres also cases where an Eversor just instantly dies by said big threat
its WWE rules
dusk patrol
They’re not all the same either
summer mural
its whatever for the story
storm jungle
Yeah that
summer mural
and whomever to hype up in the moment
vagrant fox
M'Shen casually avoiding bolt rounds like it's nothing comes to mind, but it's a Night Lords story

they can hold their own largely but its definitley Culexus/Eversor who are usually the top dogs that would last the longest

Kaldor Draigo made me ignore the Grey Knights for so long

Grey Knights are very cool but they very much are a mary sue chapter

he very much has learned to exploit his power like a videogame player lol
summer mural
rip solomon demeter
vagrant fox
He's very dangerous and skilled, I like pretending he's pathetic
storm jungle
LOL yeah
also the issue is
the writers even realised how fucking stupid OP his power is so it literally culminates to people always asking
"What if we killed him like this-"
>Slaanesh just respawns him back
storm jungle
yeah its essentially pointless
that was legit such a epitome of how dumb his power is
vagrant fox
Endless debates about what if this and that, it sucked
summer mural
" is he gonna steal the landmines soul?"
" no its the guy who planted the mines"
lmao
vagrant fox
Yeah sure the guy who orchestrated the orbital bombardment turns into Lucius
storm jungle
LMAO yeah its fucking hilarious
like his power is suppose to be plot-armor
thats what its turned into because the person coming up with it for the codex very much did not put thought into it aside from "yeah this sounds neat"

I like the nurgle champion compared to the others

He’s good in the books he’s in

the only char I like like is cain, which seems to be a popular opinion
storm jungle
and no 30k does not count
dusk patrol
Well yeah that’s most 40k characters
storm jungle
Yeah and its stinky
vagrant fox
Maybe it counts a little
storm jungle
get out
dusk patrol
He’s a prick, he also doesn’t really care about like, get in stuff done, he just wants rad fights
He also has a big insecurity about his ability and if it’s making him lazy and making fights boring and if he’d be better without it
summer mural
still gets more char development than k'bandha
dusk patrol
He doesn’t like his ability and it’s a curse for him because his narcissism
storm jungle
Kabanana is Generic Angry Demon
storm jungle
He doesn’t like his ability and it’s a curse for him because his narcissism
he should ask the writers to remove it then smh
vagrant fox
Everyone gets more development than that thing
storm jungle
but yeah its basically literal in-universe plot armor
summer mural
kbandha just shows up to show how strong someone else is basically
dusk patrol
The irony of him is how dangerous he could be, but he doesn’t use it as well as he could because that’s not his goal
storm jungle
and by how strong we mean that book's blood angel character
and he screams about uh
dusk patrol
He’s not there to further objectives for anyone
storm jungle

More Comorragh lore please, waiter. More dumb nonsense specifically
I don't even remember, I just wouldn't trust anything a Dark Eldar even if they're describing what colour the sky is as I can see it

Yeah when I remember reading that excerpt in the Plague Wars when Robby G was briefly possessed by the Emperor, talking to Morty. I was like “Oh get out of here with that crap, E. Just stab him already!”

You literally cannot get rid of him, he has actual plot armor.

Apparently he infected a world with a noise plague that caused all the infected to eternally sing a hymn to nurgle
Nurgle customized plagues are a real delight
And he also regularly tells mortarion to go fuck himself
Which isn't all that rare admittedly
But he also flexes on him by telling him mortarion is a grade A wimp and a disgrace to Nurgle
rose thorn
I guess they forgot grotmas 25?
rocky gale
Na the calendar only went up to 24
rose thorn
What
We ended on fucking space wolves
Literally most of the factions didn’t get shit?
Well like
4?
rocky gale
Every faction got one
rose thorn
Guard?
rocky gale
Yep
rose thorn
What when?
rocky gale
15th
rocky gale
Also the 24th is traditionally the last day of an advent calendar
rose thorn
Really?
rose thorn
Huh
rocky gale
Or if it's a 12 day Advent calendar you open the first day on the 25th and the last on the 6th of January
rocky gale
I enjoyed all the detachments
They're all fun and flavourful
Some are more powerful than others
But most of them are decent
Sororitas Discord is really unhappy about their detachment though
rose thorn
Oh yeah as tradition the gsc one is apparently a mess
rocky gale
Personally I like the detachment, it was just clearly written before the latest Sororitas nerf and hasn't been changed to compensate
So the nerf has hurt it a lot
rose thorn
Oh yeah as tradition the gsc one is apparently a mess
It should have been a nid detachment
rocky gale
I liked the Chaos Knights one flavourwise but it's not great
Relies a lot on Chaos Cultists, who are unfortunately Chaos Cultists
Like if we had more Traitor Guard options to fill in it would be good.
rose thorn
I liked the Chaos Knights one flavourwise but it's not great
Yee I like it a lot too
Maybe next year it will be AOS battle formation? The battle formations are a lot shorter and less impactful tho

theres 24 factions, and probably 25 by next year
or 23 if you coutn kruleboyz and ironajws are together
arctic talon
GW can do multiple in a day
rocky gale
Physically impossible
As much as I'd love an AoS Advent, I fear the 40k fans would mald too severely for GW to consider it
rose thorn
Lmao
rocky gale
Maybe if it was 20 days of 40k reveals and 4 days of AoS with each day dropping battle formations dividing them up in their Grand Orders
So like all the Order, Death etc get it on a chosen day

I can’t believe almost half of the advent calendar were space marines

I think it’s safe to bundle all the marine subfactions together now I’m ngl
For loyalists
rocky gale
I listed all the ones that get their own codex
arctic talon
Since they’re no longer separate codexes
Yeah but they’re supplements now
Not full codexes
rocky gale
Doesn't matter
They get their own book
and each got their own Grotmas detachment
and get their own rules
arctic talon
Fair
rocky gale
Codex vs supplement is just semantics at this point
arctic talon
I disagree tbh, the supplements aren’t functional without the base codex
But yes 40k is a lot of marines
hallow saddle
Lucius mentioned again 🗣️
rocky gale
No one mentioned him
arctic talon
Lol
Anyways here’s why GW should make corsairs and harlequins into their own separate factions again
rocky gale
This I can support
Expand Corsairs and Harlequins as their own armies and also let them be used as mercenaries for both Aeldari and Drukhari
arctic talon
Also beyond that I want Rak’gol as their own faction
Tbh
Give us chaos xenos
They’re diverse enough role wise as a faction imo
And they cover a pretty unique niche
rocky gale
Hmm unfortunately as Rogue Trader xenos it's unlikely
arctic talon
As a proper scavenger faction
arctic talon
Hmm unfortunately as Rogue Trader xenos it's unlikely
Yeah but my cope is strong
Uhhh
Beyond that Idfk
rocky gale
As likely as Severan Dominate
arctic talon
I’m trying to avoid bloating the human representation further tbh
rocky gale
Too bad
arctic talon
Which yeah 40k is human centric
rocky gale
Severan Dominate
rose thorn
Expand Corsairs and Harlequins as their own armies and also let them be used as ...
And then recognize Aeldari as a separate super faction from xenos pls :3
hallow saddle
rumour has it corsairs are being expanded on
staying in main eldar codex tho, as are harlequins
but more models for 40k
arctic talon
Good for me
hallow saddle
which is awesome cause corsairs are really cool
arctic talon
And then recognize Aeldari as a separate super faction from xenos pls :3
Sort of happens already
Lol
rocky gale
Corsairs are cool
arctic talon
But they’re not going to separate them on the store page yet imo
rocky gale
Drukhari can take Corsairs right?
arctic talon
Yep!
rocky gale
Nice
arctic talon
Psyker one included
rocky gale
Might grab the Killteam
hallow saddle
then also i can play out the bit in the fabius bile books when he pwns a load of corsairs
the killteam is super nice, really nice models
rocky gale
Wait is the Killteam the only corsair unit still sold?
hallow saddle
yeah, its multipart tho
rocky gale
Is their not an HQ or was he squatted?
rocky gale
I thought their was a Corsair Prince or something
arctic talon
Wait is the Killteam the only corsair unit still sold?
Yeah
Yriel is weird he’s like
Half Corsair half craftworld
Treated more like craftworld then Corsair
rocky gale
Ah he has rules but his model isn't sold
arctic talon
Yeah

if hes still in the codex when that comes out then he could be back with a model this edition

Man breaks through the Matrix through sheer force of will
hallow saddle
im always drawn back to the one with the weird anomalous zone and the cat
dunno why
opaque coyote
Yeah an area that was basically a glitch of the Matrix
Honestly I just really wished that the Matrix had a show
Because there are a lot of concepts that can be explored that just
Aren't
Because movies
hallow saddle
i got the book of all the matrix comics last year
which they released for the 25th anniversary
opaque coyote
Also the fact that the runner is implied to be the 4th neo
Due to the amount of 4's there are
He's running on the 4th track
4 dreads
Wearing the number 4
Etc.
hallow saddle
did not clock that!
opaque coyote
He basically broke out of the matrix twice through sheer force of will.
And may have completely broken out later on
Would've been interesting to see a prequel centered around him
Neo broke out of the matrix because he was chosen
Dan broke out through willpower, determination, and might.
hallow saddle
its good that there was never a 4th matrix film 
opaque coyote
did not clock that!
If you want to know my absolute favorite.
I can't decide between the ones I just talked about
Or the one where they basically put a machine through a simulation to try and teach it human thoughts
Basically turning the tables ironically
hallow saddle
Matriculated
yeah
thats super trippy
theyre all so good
theres lots of things in Matriculated i really like
its a great finisher
opaque coyote
Also the fact that it implies that the machines
Ironically enough
Have lost their humanity
The one thing that they fought for in the beginning
To thrive.
hallow saddle
its also kind of like the matrix but in reverse
its really cool
thatd be a great one for a tv show, a human hideout in the surface world where theyre hunting machines
but not to kill them
paper haven
I always liked the runner episode.
It shows how powerful human will can actually be at times but it's like yeah this doesn't happen hardly ever and it's almost always doomed without outside help.
It shows why people don't just break free all the time and why there are so few who have.
opaque coyote
It shows how powerful human will can actually be at times but it's like yeah thi...
Yeah the man ran 8.72 seconds before collapsing.
Assuming that it's a 100 meter run
Well
The current record holder is Usian Bolt
With 9.58 seconds
The man literally ran faster than Usian Bolt before collapsing
And before his record was 8.99 seconds
He literally ran past human limits
opaque coyote
Also to mention it further.
The red pill actually severs your connection safely
Basically due to having a spike in your fucking brain along with several another bits of machinery
Being forcefully disconnected usually kills you unless if it's safely done so firstly
But the guy literally instinctively pulled the spike out and was still alive.
And was forced back into the matrix.
