40k-lore-chat

[dusk patrol]

And give a reason to bother

[rocky gale]

If you're doing it for the skin then you're not a tryhard, a true tryhard grinds for the grind

[humble shoal]

I did 40 for the diamantine

[storm jungle]

At least hes honest

[rocky gale]

Decisions decisions

[storm jungle]

Buy em all

[rocky gale]

[celest dome]

AoS one look better

[rocky gale]

Really? I think the Inquisitor looks better

[storm jungle]

Both look great imo

[celest dome]

Then perish

[storm jungle]

LOL

[rocky gale]

Like both are good, but hmm

[storm jungle]

40k wins through tech but both are really good

AOS usually crushes 40k models so this is a nice change

[rocky gale]

Having an alternate Marshal would be nice though

[celest dome]

Yeah, AoS win all the mini of the year contest

[storm jungle]

Deserved tbh

Ushoran W

[rose thorn]

i vote aos

[rose thorn]

becuase 40k makes like, 1 interesting model per year

[storm jungle]

LOL

I wouldnt be that harsh but i guess it depends

[rose thorn]

if you like primarchs then 2

[storm jungle]

woooow

[rose thorn]

primarchs fucking suck

as a concept

[storm jungle]

They do but we got like 2 space marine fans in this chat as regulars and I dont want another stupid spat

[rose thorn]

i think the models ar efine but it literally only applies to 1 chapter

[forest orbit]

Maggie please dont ring the dinner bell I dont want another argument 😢

[rose thorn]

im sorry let me explain

[storm jungle]

Oh my god

there he is

what the fuck have you done

[dusk patrol]

I mean then I’d have to value Mag’s opinion on models, which.

[rose thorn]

if you play BT, and then they release lion

[forest orbit]

Not wrong

[rocky gale]

I got both

[rose thorn]

yay!

[storm jungle]

BASED

[rose thorn]

i really like the inqusiitor model

[forest orbit]

what were the models

[storm jungle]

scroll up

[rose thorn]

^

[rocky gale]

^

[humble shoal]

Left

[forest orbit]

Oh okay yeah good choice

[humble shoal]

Because swirly servo

[forest orbit]

love the Inquisitor and Not-Inquisitor

[rose thorn]

My complaint is releasing primarchs only applies to one subfaction of an army for 40k

[dusk patrol]

I enjoy Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40k models equally, and don’t feel a need to denigrate one over the other when complimenting them.

[forest orbit]

Cool

shut up

[storm jungle]

[humble shoal]

Bring back big e

As a all imperium warlord

[dusk patrol]

He’ll probably get one eventually here

[storm jungle]

they hated the Tinhand because he was having an opinion

which tbh i agree

[rocky gale]

I was thinking "Na I should save money" but then I remembered I deserve a little treat for not quitting my job everyday at the slightest inconvenience

[humble shoal]

Im too lazy to paint models so I have no strong opinikns either way

[dusk patrol]

My thing is, he wargamong isn’t the most important part of the releasing

[forest orbit]

As long as you got enough i dont see any harm in it personally

[dusk patrol]

Soooo many people just buy them to paint them

[rose thorn]

true

[dusk patrol]

Like I wouldn’t be shocked if most Middle Earth buyers never play the game

Also, people like to kitbash and that

[forest orbit]

I mean

it probably doesnt help that most of their GW shops probably get hit by a rocket

or bullets

[dusk patrol]

I’m never gonna play Eldar as an army but I’m probably gonna pick up Warp Spiders

[storm jungle]

Not wrong tbh.

[forest orbit]

wow 💀

[storm jungle]

you said it not me

im just confirming it

[rocky gale]

Most Middle Earth buyers I know get them for dioramas rather than the game

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

[rose thorn]

didnt they offiically sell a diorama?

[storm jungle]

Also he said middle earth not middle east

[dusk patrol]

Idk if that’s true, but I expect it’s a very large percentage

[humble shoal]

I buy for ua wargaming

[forest orbit]

whoops

[storm jungle]

dangerous thoughts

[humble shoal]

(This is a joke I have no money)

[dusk patrol]

I definitely don’t have time for war-gaming as much these days

[forest orbit]

You arent missing much, I got a big BT army but I barely use them for anything.

[humble shoal]

I spent it all on niche hacking tools

[forest orbit]

based

[rose thorn]

my new college schdudel gives me a 4 day weekend

so i can actually play

(by god)

[rocky gale]

Like I remember when I was in school one of my friends at the time had a room in his house that was just filled with a diorama replica of the battle of Helm's Deep

[forest orbit]

Thats badass

id love ot have something like that in my home

IF I HAD THE SPACE FOR IT

[storm jungle]

Sell your models

NOW

[dusk patrol]

Depending too with my LGS there’s a good chance when I go there I’m not feeling like playing or there’s no one there I wanna really have a full game with

[forest orbit]

NO

[storm jungle]

coward

[forest orbit]

[rose thorn]

wait did 40k have no 'god models' last year?

[dusk patrol]

TTS helps a lot with playing with friends

[forest orbit]

Theres been a few

but like definitely not that interesting

most are pretty snore

[rose thorn]

oh the saint celestine proxy

[dusk patrol]

They didn’t do any massive centerpieces largely. They did a lot the prior year

[rocky gale]

His dad was a Church Minister, so all those church donations must have been fuelling the diorama

[forest orbit]

Yeah uh

that explains quite a lot actually

[rose thorn]

centerpieces thank you

[forest orbit]

[rose thorn]

still feels wierd an upgrade sprue won model of the year

[forest orbit]

guess the money kinda went somewhere good

[dusk patrol]

Like what, Vashtorr, Lion, Angron, Balakor.

[forest orbit]

People like night lords

[dusk patrol]

All within a short time frame

[forest orbit]

even if its a wrong opinion

but hey

[dusk patrol]

Not including heresy stuff

It’s a very cool looking killteam

[forest orbit]

The mandrakes are great

NL are there too i guess

[dusk patrol]

I hope it leads to Iron Warriors and Word Bearers

[rose thorn]

belakor released during broken realms in 2020~

[forest orbit]

i forgor

[dusk patrol]

Whoever I’m thinking of then, the point is they did a lot the prior year

And they’ve said they like to pace characters out.

[rose thorn]

yea

[dusk patrol]

This year was much more smaller major dudes

[rose thorn]

when did they say that?

[dusk patrol]

Well probably get Russ by the end of the year

[humble shoal]

When dorn

[dusk patrol]

Their original loyalist primarch plan aaa one every fiveish years

[rose thorn]

[forest orbit]

Prob way later

[dusk patrol]

Covid threw it off hard

[forest orbit]

hes in the unimportant primarchs list

[humble shoal]

Bring back ferus

[rose thorn]

its true

[dusk patrol]

So they’re kinda behind

[forest orbit]

the ones that make the most sales come back first

they'll leave ferrus and sanguinius for last

[dusk patrol]

Russ is the most obvious for a lot of reasons

[forest orbit]

Space Wolves make money.

[dusk patrol]

I don’t think we’re gonna get Sanguinius or Ferrus ever

[forest orbit]

thats kind of it really

[rose thorn]

and im gonna either gonna hate the new spacewolves lore to the point of exploding or love space wolves

[forest orbit]

KEK

[dusk patrol]

Russ has the most narrative connection to

[forest orbit]

I mean you can just ignore them like I do

SW are uh

one of the Chapters ever

[humble shoal]

Khan maybe

[forest orbit]

so yes

[humble shoal]

Isnt he in cummrag

[dusk patrol]

Yeah it’s also ok to not like a release and just, not buy it or whatever

[rose thorn]

i am one of THE space wolves haters of all time

[forest orbit]

the what

[median star]

id say corvus has more chance of coming back full force then russ

[rose thorn]

they literally use nano bots and demon wepoans

[dusk patrol]

Nah

[rose thorn]

its the most mary sue shit ever

[forest orbit]

🤝

[dusk patrol]

It’s gonna be Russ

[forest orbit]

SW make more money

[humble shoal]

Reminds me of the grey knight with the demon blade

[forest orbit]

and had their own codex

hes coming back first

[humble shoal]

He's funny

[dusk patrol]

I think the Kroot release looks fine but I’m not interested in it at all

Same for Krieg

[rose thorn]

the idffernece is greyknights are specifically made eto handle demon blades and stuff

[dusk patrol]

But I’m glad their fans will get something

[forest orbit]

GK are also just cooler imo

minus like all the mary sue shit

[humble shoal]

I mean dude uses it as just sword

[forest orbit]

SW have just always been iffy

[rose thorn]

at least everyone knwos they are mary sues

[dusk patrol]

I’ll just keep coping and praying for Mordians and Steel Legion

[humble shoal]

I counter with the dreadknight

Dumbest shit

[forest orbit]

bold of you to assume i was even considering that minis existence

[humble shoal]

Mordians plz

[forest orbit]

[rose thorn]

like GK are more mary sue then custodians

[humble shoal]

Heh

[forest orbit]

KIND of

Custodians work

because they are the best of the best

GK are like

AH YES

[humble shoal]

They work while naked

[forest orbit]

THE EMPERORS GENESEED

THE 666TH CHAPTER

SO SECRETIVE

GOTTA GO THROUGH 666 TRIALS

[humble shoal]

GK are just mini magnus

[forest orbit]

Uh

[humble shoal]

Change my mind

[forest orbit]

Okay yeah

[rose thorn]

thats literally the lore though

[forest orbit]

also they can Biden Blast

very important

[dusk patrol]

It’s hard being this well dressed

[humble shoal]

Artillery mordian teams

[rose thorn]

greyknights were supposed to be magnus legion

[forest orbit]

Magnus is a dumbass he missed his chance

[humble shoal]

Dock her a days pay

For ruining her uniform

[rose thorn]

Magnus also didnt wanna genocide his mutant paradise planet

[forest orbit]

Also his legion to be fair

his sons of thousands

[dusk patrol]

Resting while you could be cleaning your uniform?!

[rose thorn]

and his mutant legion

[arctic talon]

Tbf Russ wasn’t supposed to do that

[forest orbit]

Okay but

[humble shoal]

Flogging

[arctic talon]

Horus moment

[forest orbit]

Russ is a dumbass

[arctic talon]

This is true

[forest orbit]

so excuse him

[dusk patrol]

Russ also tried to contact Magnus

For several hours

And got no response

[forest orbit]

And the changeling also interfered

how convenient

[dusk patrol]

Vox or other means

[rose thorn]

yea

[forest orbit]

but either way yeah

they are both idiots

[rose thorn]

thats when russ learned to be an adult

[forest orbit]

they both need to be put in a jar

[rose thorn]

aroudn that time

[arctic talon]

Jar?

[forest orbit]

No he did not

[arctic talon]

[forest orbit]

🫙

[dusk patrol]

Brain rot

[forest orbit]

post Prospero he literally was more mad

that he was tricked

[rose thorn]

and then after that he feels horrible for being such a tool

[forest orbit]

more than having slaughetered another legion

KEK

YEAH it sgreat

[rose thorn]

and decidied he will be his own person

[forest orbit]

hes such a piece of shit

[dusk patrol]

Well yeah the Thousand Sons were dorks

[rose thorn]

and he went, got the spear, learned the turth of the HH

then disappeared?

[forest orbit]

Pretty much

[humble shoal]

Egyptian dorks

[forest orbit]

SW do nothing post-prospero

[dusk patrol]

After 100 years

[rose thorn]

i hope Russ is an old man

[dusk patrol]

Him fighting Horus was pretty key to the loyalist victory

[forest orbit]

They get assfucked by the AL and thats kinda it

[dusk patrol]

Anyways I want Odin Rune King Russ

Slow down but powerful psyker

[forest orbit]

Barely

but sure

[dusk patrol]

Make his second fight with Magnus more interesting

[rose thorn]

mature as a person
rip into the main antagonist
get fucking wrecked

[forest orbit]

you mean the fight where hes gonna win again

because Magnus sucks

[rose thorn]

teh starwars storyline

[dusk patrol]

It directly caused the Word Bearers to dip and chaos to infight

[humble shoal]

Want vulcan to come back as an ork warboas

[storm jungle]

At this point it'll be a plot twist if the TSons win

[forest orbit]

Yet they were still at the Siege

even if not at full-force

[dusk patrol]

With a tenth of the legion

[forest orbit]

Yet still constantly appeared

and got gunned down by loyalists

[storm jungle]

Hey

they WERE respawning

[forest orbit]

Thanks for reminding me 💀

[storm jungle]

Lmao

[humble shoal]

Magnus redeemed

[dusk patrol]

We see a good variety of all the traitors as cannon fodder during the siege

[forest orbit]

Also man I had a friend tell me like

TSons are basically Chaos Eldar where they just show up and always lose

[dusk patrol]

I feel like World Eaters and SoH are the most common

[forest orbit]

and it kinda made me notice yeah

[storm jungle]

Pretty much

they suck

which also sucks

[storm jungle]

Its literally nothing but world eaters and sons of horus by the finale

[humble shoal]

I mean tzeentch is just fucking with them the whole time

[storm jungle]

it gets pretty repetitively funny

[forest orbit]

At least give them some other W's

[dusk patrol]

Some leftover Death Guard too

With Typhus

[forest orbit]

the Fenris attack was pretty good

[storm jungle]

Oh yeah

I kinda slept through those parts

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-luigi-luigi-reading-gif-22148197

[forest orbit]

Relatable.

hated the astronomicon plot

[storm jungle]

Id say hate is a strong word but it definitely felt boring

[dusk patrol]

Yeah I didn’t mind the ending but it needed to be

Much shorter

[forest orbit]

Yeah like the problem is

[dusk patrol]

The idea is fine

[summer mural]

[forest orbit]

EVERY Chapter

[dusk patrol]

But I guess that’s the whole book

[forest orbit]

OH NO THE MARINES ARE GONNA KILL US

LETS GO TO THE MOUNTAIN

repeat

[arctic talon]

Warzone fenris was a W

[forest orbit]

like okay ig et it

[forest orbit]

I said that afterwards!!!

[dusk patrol]

Whole book could have been much shorter but I digress

[arctic talon]

I’m blind

[dusk patrol]

Dead horse topic

[arctic talon]

My bad LOL

[forest orbit]

Perish

[storm jungle]

Its a good one

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-horse-spank-exhausted-wake-up-gif-17245109

[storm jungle]

rpelace the horse with uh

centaur horus

[forest orbit]

LOL

[dapper gyro]

Reported for animal abuse.

[forest orbit]

SHUT UP

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/deadhorse-lol-gif-4927979

[storm jungle]

Honestly at that point i was like

having to do double-checks

[dusk patrol]

It’s glue now

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/warframe-arthur-arthur-nightingale-warframe-1999-1999-gif-4632106320046100632

[storm jungle]

I guess Loken had a fetish or something

[forest orbit]

hes not a white woman but i guess its close

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

What

[storm jungle]

not untrue

[storm jungle]

You dont wanna know

[forest orbit]

Thanks, I hate it

[dusk patrol]

I liked the weird metaphysical stuff and card game and all that

It’s just it took too long getting to that

[storm jungle]

Its good until it just kept repeating yea

Again same consensus

Kyme didnt do his job

fucking useless cunt

[forest orbit]

Accurate.

[dusk patrol]

Should have been two books

[arctic talon]

I am the end and the death

[dusk patrol]

Would have been perfect

Two shorter books

[arctic talon]

I am the end and the death

[storm jungle]

SHUT

THE FUCK

UP

how about I end your death

[arctic talon]

Do you know what Samus is

[dusk patrol]

Samus is the over exposed character beside you

[storm jungle]

Hes right behind me isnt he

fuck sakes

[arctic talon]

He’s also the end and the death

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

Okay I’ll stop

[storm jungle]

STOP IT

LMAO

[forest orbit]

[dusk patrol]

Samus is the feeling deep in your asshole right now

[arctic talon]

I get the idea behind the repetition

[dusk patrol]

[arctic talon]

But also

Oh my god lol

[dusk patrol]

There are limits

[storm jungle]

Yeah no

that lol

like FUCK ME fuck off abnett i swear

im reading a chapter i love in the book

then i get that catchphrase, STOP

[dusk patrol]

It is funny to me Samus’s most intimidating moment wasn’t in an Abnett book

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Actually does Samus even exist still

[dusk patrol]

Although tbh I guess Abnett kinda wants him to be a loser

Yeah

He’s in Gaunt’s Ghosts

[spring cairn]

sams from metro

[storm jungle]

He does

[dusk patrol]

And probably the last Bequin book

[storm jungle]

hes just never mentioned

also that yeah

i assume hes like uh

gonna be right behind Bequin

[storm jungle]

Honestly i feel like he wants him to be scary

the problem is at the end of the day like every single daemon character

hes Generic McEvil

like okay cool, fuck off already back to the Warp

[spring cairn]

would he beat goku tho

[storm jungle]

I would beat you up with this bat I found

does that count

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/nah-i'd-win-satoru-gojo-gojo-satoru-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-4702436161337449513

[storm jungle]

bruh

[spring cairn]

I'm sure to win because my speed is superior

[storm jungle]

you are not the Scout from TF2

[arctic talon]

Also Samus was originally gona be a khornate daemon

[storm jungle]

explains a lot

he literally looks like a khorne daemon

[arctic talon]

Bro had the khorne tag

For like

The longest time

[storm jungle]

but painted grey

[arctic talon]

In heresy

[spring cairn]

can it roll up into a ball and leave little bombs

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

its a daemon

so ill say yes

[spring cairn]

close enough

welcome to 40k Samus Aran

[storm jungle]

if Sloppityblowjobpiper exists so can anything

[arctic talon]

He’s red

[storm jungle]

Wait what

I GOT MANDELA EFFECT'D

NOOOO

[arctic talon]

Samus is literally Red

[storm jungle]

Stfu

I FORGOR-

[arctic talon]

Ngl

They should have just stuck to him being a khorne daemon

It’s funny

[storm jungle]

agreed

[arctic talon]

It’s also like

He’s kind of a dork

[storm jungle]

Him being Not Undivided also just kinda adds nothing tbh

[arctic talon]

Well he’s not undivided

[storm jungle]

I said NOT UNDIVIDED

[arctic talon]

He’s aligned to the Dark King™️

[dusk patrol]

Samus gets model but not Mor smh

[arctic talon]

Oh

Bruh

I’m dumb

[storm jungle]

like

[dusk patrol]

No, he’s ruined storm

[storm jungle]

he is undivided

but not

[storm jungle]

yeah that

noooo

[dusk patrol]

Ruin storm was this weird mix

[arctic talon]

Rainstorm daemons are funny

[dusk patrol]

I can’t say it correctly because I’m using text to speech

[sharp pollen]

every time i come here i see someone talk about sloppy bjs or other shit

[dusk patrol]

I’m gonna end you

[arctic talon]

Bro doesn’t know about the slopity

[storm jungle]

GUH

[arctic talon]

Post it

[dusk patrol]

And the only thing I’m going to feel, is you breaking over my knee

[rocky gale]

With a sloppy...

[dusk patrol]

I got two knees and there’s plenty to go around

[sharp pollen]

does he do bjs

[arctic talon]

No

[sharp pollen]

then why post it

[arctic talon]

[dusk patrol]

Why would he do Brazilian jiu-jitsu

[storm jungle]

SHUT UP

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-cut-him-down-tear-him-apart-splay-the-gore-gif-16211356125689318290

[summer mural]

malcador presents himself as a kindly old man in public? that has to be the funniest thing ive heard

[sharp pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-funnt-cat-black-cat-sleepy-cat-gif-16409614852005252877

[dusk patrol]

I would say more frail

He comes across as an ad advisor that is much less capable physically than he actually is

Kind of like Yoda I guess

[summer mural]

well, he doesnt exactly come across as the pragmatic ruthless prophetic genocidal apex human that he is

[dusk patrol]

Because he also is old and frail, but he juices himself up with warp energy when he needs to

[dusk patrol]

Also this

But not many people know his past, even amongst the Primark’s

[summer mural]

i dunno his past

wasnt he born old?

[dusk patrol]

What?

That’s Benjamin button

[storm jungle]

Fucking

Bejamin-

DAMN IT

[spring cairn]

Malcador is Benjamin button

[summer mural]

like at day 1 , malcador came out as he is, complete with the wisdom of the ages

[median star]

wasnt he a warlord during pre unification terra or am i thinking something else

[spring cairn]

he was a war

[dusk patrol]

I hate how high effort and well done that stupid movie is

The worst thing ever is when there’s a really dumb movie concept, but they do it so well you can’t even shit on it

[summer mural]

malcador isnt worshipped like the big and e his 'angels' is he

[dusk patrol]

No, he’s more revered as like a saint

[arctic talon]

He isn’t

[summer mural]

oh hes saintly

[dusk patrol]

He’s called Malka door of the hero

Text to speech is funny

[summer mural]

so like macharius

[sharp pollen]

milk a door

[dusk patrol]

Sure sorta

I can’t recall if he’s actually a saint or if he’s just a revered figure

[summer mural]

I guess nobody knows that story about him and his uh..regular human best friend

[arctic talon]

Yeah no

[median star]

isnt he responsible for setting up most the current orders outside of the space marines and rogue traders

[dusk patrol]

He’s responsible for the Inquisition

[summer mural]

well, I think theres assassin temple and grey knights

[dusk patrol]

GKs, and sorta Assassins

[humble shoal]

Big E just blends in on the meeting

[summer mural]

Big E was busy posing for paintings

[dusk patrol]

But he was a huge part of the foundation of the Imperium

[humble shoal]

Becaus emps is painted purple apparently

[summer mural]

so thats where fulgrim got his sense of fashion from

its genetic of course

[dusk patrol]

He ran the Imperium behind the scenes while Big E was on the crusade

[humble shoal]

There was one of the pre-officio meetings for the assasins that emps just attended without anyone knowing

[summer mural]

its also just nice that malcador was kindly absurdly powerful as a psyker too

[median star]

shcizo post tim what if big e and malcador were the same person two bodies one soul and thats the part alpharius and omegon inherited

[summer mural]

in addition to having the whole unshakeable will and the governance chops

[dusk patrol]

Common theory, and no real evidence

[spring cairn]

what if malcador was a genestealer

[summer mural]

malcador didnt have a soul related aftermath type thing right, he exploded into dust , all of him pretty much

[spring cairn]

this might be too crazy for you sorry

[median star]

what if one of the lost primarchs had his genes stole

[summer mural]

by what

[dusk patrol]

What if Malcador and Big E were roommates

[summer mural]

a genestealer aint stealing no genes from a primarch

I doubt a lictor could even pierce their skin

[spring cairn]

what if they had SEX

[median star]

[summer mural]

[dusk patrol]

Guys which primarch had the most sexy sexy sex

Guys can space marines sexy sex

[summer mural]

fulgrim?

[dusk patrol]

Guys can Custodes ever sex sex penis vagena SEX

[spring cairn]

omg this explains why we only ever see malcador sitting (40k has been solved)

[summer mural]

I bet it was lowkey vulcan, vulcan probably gets the most action

[median star]

this is real lore

[dusk patrol]

It’s Vulkan you uncultured swine

And it would probably be Russ

[summer mural]

but the k is so edgy

[storm jungle]

SHUT THE FUCK UP

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-darktide-40k-goedulf-dead-gif-8043938891803499171

[dusk patrol]

Based off our descriptions of Fenrisian woman and their courtship

Which is more claimship

[summer mural]

russ had sex with giant tanks though

and not living women

[dusk patrol]

[storm jungle]

Die

[storm jungle]

well its a legit thing

its like how in turkish we call Volcanoes Volkan

i hate it

[dusk patrol]

https://youtube.com/shorts/NUSwz5sEoXA?si=S8Deb5WIJNjXPkjn

Mfw

I need to get this as a clip

[spring cairn]

which book depicts Russ putting his cock in a tank

[summer mural]

everything about salamanders I mostly like, except the name, naming them after his pet lizards is so cliche

[storm jungle]

ZESTY AHH

[storm jungle]

what

[spring cairn]

this is crucial information

[storm jungle]

you dont like Sa'kaan deez nuts?

[summer mural]

[storm jungle]

what an awful name though jokes aside

god

[summer mural]

the only one abnett is yet afraid to write

calling them drakes would be nicer than salamanders

or volcanoheads

[dusk patrol]

Salamanders are imo the chapter whose most famous with the dumbest name.

But we’re so used to it we don’t even think of it.

[summer mural]

or fyresla-

[dusk patrol]

They went from fucking Dragon Warriors

To Salamanders

[arctic talon]

Tsu’gon

[dusk patrol]

Silence Ignean

https://tenor.com/view/django-unchained-gif-3145361425578284085

Candy definitely would call people Ignean.

[summer mural]

what chapter names are nice though

the flesh tearers

[storm jungle]

Flesh Golems

[arctic talon]

It’s gore golems

[dusk patrol]

Fake fan

[summer mural]

also the wordbearers is lowkey kinda nice, given the lore and everything

[dusk patrol]

Get her

[arctic talon]

My favorite loyalist chapter

Flesh Eaters being a very chill chapter with a good rep is always hilarious to me

[dusk patrol]

And Blood Drinkers

[arctic talon]

Seriously GW give us a gore golems official scheme

You can’t just drop a chapter with that name

And not give us art

[median star]

soul drinkers

[dusk patrol]

They do have a fire look

[summer mural]

carcharadons is nice too, someone actually did a google search instead of calling them space sharks

[median star]

next primaris chapter the ball smashers

[storm jungle]

they literally got nothing

[summer mural]

ultraprimarismarines

[humble shoal]

Tyberos is the best because hes the biggest spesh marine

And half man half shark

[rigid dune]

Do you guys have any personal favorite piece of lore or story you could recommend me digging deeper into that is beginner friendly?

[summer mural]

tyberos is kinda overrated compared to competent chapter masters

[storm jungle]

Theres a lot

[spring cairn]

Red, pink and bordeaux

[summer mural]

look into that story about malcador and his best friend

its great

[humble shoal]

Every time I hear of the fleshtears I think of alfa

Hes ruined that chapter for me

[dusk patrol]

Check the pins in #40k-book-club

But Eisenhorn and Gaunt’s Ghosts is a good general recommendation

[rigid dune]

Did not know about this one, thanks!

[humble shoal]

I know, but its funny how big fanart makes him

[dusk patrol]

Otherwise best to say your favorite faction or whatever you’re interested in

[summer mural]

also I like the gabriel seth story too, where he has to explain to a room full of blood angel chapter masters why his chapter should be allowed to exist

[dusk patrol]

And people can recommend

[rigid dune]

I think tyranids are pretty cool

[dusk patrol]

Dude talks the whole time like he could fight them all at once while he’s doing it too

[humble shoal]

https://youtu.be/f5tnVODuI-g?si=m75yBM7ElJZwfaDh

It was the flesh eaters

[summer mural]

he really sort of goes for the confident approach

[dusk patrol]

He is the master of unearned confidence

[summer mural]

then he actually does have to fight that chaplain? grimaldus?

i forgot his name

[rose thorn]

Most of the BA successors are really good lol

[humble shoal]

The legion of the damned are the coolest chapter

[summer mural]

yeah they have great barbecues

[humble shoal]

With their chapter master Imadeitthefuckup

[arctic talon]

Fire scheme

[summer mural]

oh I finished chaosgate, rn I got loads of grey knights floating around in my head

[arctic talon]

Pink is underutilized lol

[humble shoal]

(Just kidding ferrus os their chapter master)

[humble shoal]

Alaric and the khornate guys gay romance?

[dusk patrol]

Kinda sorta not but maybe

[summer mural]

huh?

[arctic talon]

Bro got dog piled by like 5 nid warriors

[rose thorn]

OOoOoo, buy 10 year old models OoOoO

[humble shoal]

Oh chaos gate is the name

[summer mural]

no

[humble shoal]

Of thr game

[summer mural]

yes

[raven stone]

Man, I still have got to applaud whoever did the pink Hello Kitty Sisters of Battle army...

[humble shoal]

I forgor and confused it with the 3rd grey knight book

[summer mural]

I dunno if I can spoil chaosgate, probably can

does 40k even have spoilers

[humble shoal]

Where the grey knight sacrifices a ship full of people to tzeentch

[rose thorn]

I’ll say the ending without any names

[humble shoal]

||did you know cadia fell||

[arctic talon]

Chaos gate is like

Honestly whatever

Plot wise

[rose thorn]

A guy saw another guy and everyone pogged and then we killed him

[summer mural]

yes but I like the greyknightiness

[raven stone]

In terms of "the Imperium wins", no.

In terms of specific character deaths in stories, there are still spoilers lol.

[summer mural]

and you got kaldor having a big part in the story

you can play as him in the garden of nurgle and he goes around chopping up roots while mortarion chases him around and rages

[summer mural]

its morbin time

[arctic talon]

Morb

[raven stone]

Actually I dare say an Imperial perspective story with the Imperials losing a given war is bigger spoilers in general at this point.

[raven stone]

oh hey look it's Morty

Yes, is a R&M shitpost

[summer mural]

also, I actually like the greyknight aesthetic in general, but I despise draigos aesthetic

hes got the holy scripture written over his entire armor

[arctic talon]

There’s a solid chunk of books

With that

Tbh

[summer mural]

and he doesnt have hair

if you dont have hair, just rock the bald or wear a helmet, instead he wears some skullcap thing

thankfully, draigo has a gigantic shield and sword, it fortunately covers up most his armor visually

[raven stone]

A bit of lore history fun fact: associations with purity aside, the Grey Knights got their name and grey-ish silver colour in reference to the Marine Legions before they were reunited with their Primarchs.

Later, during the Heresy, specific Marines selected by Macaldor for special ops would remove the colour of their legion and use the same scheme.

[summer mural]

the silver is very nice

also silver flames are awesome

[humble shoal]

Garran crowe is my favorite grey knight

Gets fancy demon sword

[summer mural]

well

yes

[humble shoal]

Just use it as a normal sword

[raven stone]

OK true, the ratio is definitely improving nowadays as well

[humble shoal]

Tzeentch seethes

[summer mural]

his sword is evil lookin yes

[arctic talon]

If we’re talking about rule books

And like campaign books

The imperium has won None

[summer mural]

crowe has a nice visual design

[arctic talon]

Since like 7e lol

[raven stone]

Ah ok if we go that route, yes. I thought we were talking novels only.

[arctic talon]

For novels then yeah it’s

It depends

[arctic talon]

Old Crowe

Lol

[summer mural]

geronitan crowe

[arctic talon]

His new mini fucks hard

https://external-preview.redd.it/CVr1EzVN8HyxIYpIycfNdAr7U4pxmTSICvSxhsf-VtM.jpg?auto=webp&s=4075d5e145e1402ddebe85f6f526907720ffee3d

[summer mural]

oh shit

i hadnt seen that

[raven stone]

Still enjoy the pre-Primaris Marines more (including the current Grey Knights, which GW - sadly - will likely Primaris scale come summer)

[summer mural]

yeah crowe has awesome design

[humble shoal]

Too much daemon

On the sword

[summer mural]

do grey knights get their own techmarines

and are they psykers

[arctic talon]

It’s a daemon sword

Yes and yes

They get trained on Deimos

[summer mural]

are they the only ones that get techmarine psykers though

[humble shoal]

I mean yeah but his point was that he just used it as a sword no daemon sword powers

[summer mural]

on the imperium side

[raven stone]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Some tech priests have gone through psychic awakenings but yes

They’re the only intentional psychic members of the cult mechanicus

[arctic talon]

The daemon is trying to break out constantly

It’s fine imo

[summer mural]

their dreadnoughts can do psychic shit too?

[arctic talon]

You also get an option for like

A normal looking version of the sword

[humble shoal]

Yeah its fine

[arctic talon]

Yes

[humble shoal]

Id probably use the normal sword of I didnt spend all of my money on niche hacking stuff

[arctic talon]

All dreads are psykers

[raven stone]

I don't think the Dreads can.

The tech for psychic Dreadnoughts died with Prospero.

Wait wut

[arctic talon]

The dreads are psykers

And librarian dread blueprints survived

[raven stone]

...huh

[summer mural]

nah the black blade of antwyr is like his main thing, its a big chunk of his lore, its his signature weapon pretty much

[raven stone]

Nice

[arctic talon]

The Blood angels, ultramarines and white scars

Have them still

[arctic talon]

Well it’s a normal looking version of the black blade

[humble shoal]

He looks fragile

[summer mural]

i think in the game the dread can psychically augment its attacks too, its got a nemesis doomfist

[arctic talon]

I don’t doubt the GK could prolly steal it

And yeah on the tabletop it’s a Psyker

Lol

It had the brotherhood of psykers rule

[raven stone]

Well

I can imagine TSons being miffed at the hypocrisy XD

[summer mural]

why would the gk steal his blade?

[arctic talon]

I’m talking about Libby naut atuff

The black blade is always crowes sword

[summer mural]

yeah

[arctic talon]

There’s just one that’s not giving off the evil daemon energy

In the kit

[summer mural]

right

[humble shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/tts-kaldor-draigo-warrior-40k-gif-16181920

[summer mural]

also was grandmaster kai a thing before chaosgate

hes a fuckin pain in the neck

[arctic talon]

Yes

He’s an existing character

[summer mural]

he spends the entire first half of the game refusing your requests for help ( hes the Steward of the Armory on Titan) then in the second half he has the nerve to literally ask you for gear and supplies

THE SWINE

[arctic talon]

Lol

[humble shoal]

Doesnt help the mfs bury theirbdead with their weapons

Just raid the tombs

[celest dome]

And it'll still be a SM Sergeant that'll win

[summer mural]

I just saw this vid that mentions the assassin temples got their names from the first gm of each temple, I always wondered why they were named that way

now I know there was some gigachad sniper running around named John Vindicare

[rose thorn]

i keep opening warhamemr community hoping htey accidentally post stuff early again ;~;

[crystal forum]

i forget about community for a while then get reminded when they do guard stuff

idk how people can enjoy getting drip fed stuff the whole year round

feels like being teased forever

[arctic talon]

Because it’s how releases work?

And I’m not interested in every release

[dusk patrol]

I enjoy how GW does their releases largely, they’re good at doing big bursts

Also even if I’m not gonna buy models I like to see new ones

[rose thorn]

me too

i think doing big dumps of models then nothing for a while is probably healthier then drip feeding models

[dreamy totem]

Do all different xenos races work together to investigate blackstone fortress’s or is that just a thing in the Warhammer quest game.

[dapper gyro]

I'm rereading some SM stuff, and I realized that the Raven Guard, despite being one of the first to accept the codex SM, are the least to follow it and got questioned if they are even codex compliance.

[dusk patrol]

They pulled a sneaky

[arctic talon]

That was only that one specific blackstone fortress

[dusk patrol]

They do follow a lot of it though

Worth noting the IH agreed to it too and then completely ignored it

At least the main chapter

[dapper gyro]

RG following is likely because that's how they already operate like such.

Complete coded compliance isn’t super common

[dapper gyro]

And have a "loyal" black shield pirate as well.

[tough haven]

“Do NOT [interface] with the archeotech”

[crystal forum]

dude that's furry art

[tough haven]

And?

It is 40K technically

[storm jungle]

get him jay

[storm jungle]

Its singular individuals working together to explore it

everyone has a motif for being there and the alien members are largely only tolerated because they either keep out of the more zealous imperials way or said imperials themselves are also vagabonds/outcasts and largely dont give a shit

[crystal forum]

im just surprised

[dapper gyro]

It is all friends with benefit.

[soft thunder]

chaos gate mid or should I just wait until Mechanicus 2 comes out to get my 40k xcom fix?

[storm jungle]

Chaosgate is good but it sometimes drags

its matches also tend to last a lot longer than Mechanicus in comparison

https://youtu.be/f8UnlOEUoi0

watch this review, its very good at bluntly explaining the game

[arctic talon]

Its fine but its really long and the difficulty curve is ass

[sly ivy]

Can you save mid match?

[sly ivy]

But I like the curve of ass

[arctic talon]

Yes

But its usually better to restart from scratch imo

[storm jungle]

^

Me when my grey knight gets murdered by a hobo

[arctic talon]

if you find that you fuck up mid mission

just redo it

LOL

because like

you prolly fucked up 3 turns earlier

somehow

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

HEAVY STUBBER CULTIST

[storm jungle]

Yeah THAT is not good

[sly ivy]

Oh no it’s like reverse darktide

[storm jungle]

MY BANE

[storm jungle]

LEGIT

[arctic talon]

Heavy stubber cultist

is literally

the most horrifying fucking enemy

in the game

[storm jungle]

^

the problem is its literally fucking autoguns

its not even like

power weapons

bolters

nothing

JUST

BULLETS

LIKE A SINGLE BURST

https://tenor.com/view/space-marine-2-death-space-marine-2-gif-12976716491498684396

AUGHHH-

[arctic talon]

who would win

master crafted terminator armor

with a powerful force field

and psychic warding

1 heavy stubber carried by some fuckass cultist

[sly ivy]

Chat is this true

I’m girls

[storm jungle]

die

[arctic talon]

ngl

I really don't get why they made the heavy stubber cultist

that scary

like the Grenade launcher cultist

aint shit lol

[crystal forum]

i want great crusade lore

give me my slop

[storm jungle]

go read the wiki you fat fuck

[crystal forum]

more slop

[storm jungle]

I think just to mak ethe game "fair"???

but like

YOU LITERALLY FIGHT THE DEATH GURAD

[arctic talon]

Like

[storm jungle]

AND THEIR ENTIRE ARSENAL

[arctic talon]

yeah but like

yeah that LOL

Like why the fuck is the boltgun

less scary then a heavy stubber

or hell a fucking melta

the heavy stubber cultists do more damage then te multimelta

on the plagueburst crawler LOL

[storm jungle]

yeah im gonna blame it on enemy imbalance

its legit funny tho

[sly ivy]

Die Wacht am Rhein?

[crystal forum]

this is why darktide vet doesn't have stubber

too OP

[storm jungle]

they'd end entire worlds

[arctic talon]

if every cultist was as strong as the heavy stubber cultist in chaos gate

Chaos would have won already on god

[dreamy totem]

What was it called?

[crystal forum]

just give a guy a machine gun and suddenly you can take a planet

[arctic talon]

Blackstone Fortress

Warhammer Quest

[storm jungle]

^

[dreamy totem]

Yeah dude. Did it have a proper noun to distinguish itself from other Blackstone fortresses

[arctic talon]

Its the like

8th one?

no

The Seventh

its the Seventh Blackstone fortress

[gray umbra]

I mean look at this guy

This man looks like he clears maelstrom 40 for fun

[dusk patrol]

We don’t have an Lho-stick class yet

Once we unlock smoking, we’ll be invincible

[tough haven]

Its really fucking heavy

[celest dome]

Oh I owe realise that thd weapon the person behind him has is an Evicerator

[shell mason]

I

need

more

Tren

[crystal forum]

please

i fucking need

[spare osprey]

Khrave are cool

Kinda

[terse kestrel]

is this helmet technically kasrkin?

[sly ivy]

SLUDGE JUNGLE

By the throne it’s from New Jersey

[terse kestrel]

I was trying to compare it

[storm jungle]

No its not

Kasrkin use cadian helmets

thats just utilizing the kasrkin camo scheme

[terse kestrel]

Is any of this actually kasrkin either? I guess the cap

[storm jungle]

Its not

Its just the camo.

This is what a kasrkin is.

A cadian in heavy carapace armor with a powerpack, hotshot and a helmet with the chocolate-chip or whatever camo

[terse kestrel]

None of the gear really exists in the game though I guess

[plush mason]

still waiting for vet to get a sniper cape

[storm jungle]

It kinda does

its just hard to find

[median star]

me when i

[terse kestrel]

no proper helmet PepeHands

[median star]

augemetic works as half a helmet good nuff

mind the legs and chest are from separate sets because fatshark hates us

[dusk patrol]

I cope and pray for a ad mech class

Right after the genestealers guys

Before we get a Death Guard boss

[plush mason]

lmao

[crystal forum]

single shot rad rifle would go so fucking hard

[gray umbra]

A lot of the in game assets are based off stuff that exists

[opaque coyote]

Do Tyranids ever eat like

The entire planet

Or just the surface

[tough haven]

They like strip it if everything, like all the bacteria and water pockets deep within the earth too

[tough haven]

Not edible

[opaque coyote]

Cause tbh I have thought of a horror sequence where like

A gigantic hive fleet comes across some agri world

And then after it's done

There's not even a planet left

Not even any debris

Just space where a planet was supposed to be

Everything being consumed

[opaque coyote]

Kinda always thought that Tyranids should try to consume like

The cores of planets

[median star]

i dont reckon they have need for dust and rock

[opaque coyote]

True

I guess a barren rock is horror enough

[tough haven]

That’s not food

[storm jungle]

They eat literally every thing.

they sometimes even remove the cores of the planet from the materials it can provide the hivefleet.

[crystal forum]

how does that work dilara

how does one extract a planet's core

[rose thorn]

Tyranid diets are 90% pure fuckinh iron

[rose thorn]

Easily

[crystal forum]

[rose thorn]

Also probably by killing everyone on the planet and the planet it self

[storm jungle]

^

They also got literal de-terraformer biotools among so much other shit so beats me, they got a way of doing it

[crystal forum]

what if they just suck away a planet's core and let everybody die then invade it

you are choosing not to answer

[arctic talon]

It takes a long ass time to do it

They need specialized body parts for slurping up molten liquid

[crystal forum]

is it like a mosquito straw that goes all the way to the molten core

[sly ivy]

Idk the answer to any of this but I am so aroused rn

[arctic talon]

They crack open a big hole and then multiple hive ships start drinking up and processing it

[sly ivy]

[crystal forum]

a hole big enough to reach the center of a planet?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Don’t ask how

[crystal forum]

we havent even breached the upper crust of ours

[arctic talon]

I don’t know either lol

Tbf

It’s not like the nids aren’t advanced

Their tech is just biotech

[crystal forum]

it's just... weirdly votann level stuff

mmmh

[arctic talon]

Tbf the mechanicus can drill to the core of planets

A Ordinatus was designed to do so

[crystal forum]

can they suck up an entire planet though

like afaik votann just shred planets

[arctic talon]

Unclear

We don’t get lore on this

We know they mine Astroids

[opaque coyote]

I am getting two different answers here

So do they or do they not eat everything

Or is it a case by case thing

[torn marlin]

There is only the Emperor!

[near leaf]

going up against a Pestigor on Atoma

[crystal forum]

👍

yup

uh huh

ai art nice

still unable to replicate 40k at all

[opaque coyote]

Counterpoint

[winter vessel]

I get as far as stick man and that’s about it when it comes to my artistic skills
