The funniest thing about the SM Codex is that the RG and its successors followed the bare minimum. Then Guilliman after his long sleep told his "sons" like "yeah, that's how you supposed to follow it".
Unfortunately Veterans are much rarer than rookies in the Imperium
For obvious reasons
yup
Most 2nd founding of the UM are way more zealous to the codex than the UM itself.
yup
To the point I read somewhere that they have to tell their successors to stop doing bullshit.
Overall, Guilliman is probably one more major event away from sticking a Bolter in his mouth
...
At least that's what he tells himself
But deep down he knows he won't
Whether that's good or bad depends on you
then Dorn comes back and he is like "here you deal with this shit im going back to sleep"
Again.
Guilliman shows why a majority of the loyalist Primarchs simply fucked off
I think it was the Lamenter that got recommendation from the UM, but they refused so other chapters see that as a disgrace, so bad that Calgar had to shut them up.
Pretty much.
Tbf the Lamenters are kind of stupid
Though that's part of their character
Like just accept the Iron Halos. They will literally give you more of a chance to survi-
No? Okay then
Lamenters are closer to IF than the BA.
Basically
Half of the Lamenters problems are their fault
On some level
The other half is just being unfortunate
They still keep going on somehow
they are cursed with bad luck so they have a massive self-punishment complex as they assume the curse is some kind of divine retribution iirc
Yes
Basically equivalent to an abused child hating himself and thinking he's the problem
yup
That's why I like the RG more. They got bad luck, but they assume that it is their skill issue so they do better next time.
Honestly, I think they may have better luck if they didn't have those
Stupid tiny ass checkerboard decales
And the yellow colour that already make the IF dreadful.
Hence I wrote this.

Theres a line where the ogryn goes, "pity he is not ogryn god" in relation to the Gemperor. This is Ogryn God.
Imagine another Ogyrn says that and the Sister of Battle has a mental breakdown
"Saying Emperor isn't Ogyrn God is heresy..."
"But... Emperor being Ogyrn God means he's a God of mutants..."
And then the Sister just suddenly collapses while the party is walking

‘Since when was saving mankind from the darkness a sign of weakness?’ said the Khan, ‘Sanguinius, my brother and comrade, what do you see? Lend me your foresight.’
Sanguinius shut his eyes. Like that, he appeared drawn and tired, a funerary monument to himself. Dorn supressed a shudder.
‘My sight is not so clear as father’s’, said Sanguinius. ‘The Future is ever in flux. Only some events…’ He paused, finding the words hard to say. ‘Only some events are certain.’
‘Do you see me? What will be the consequences of inaction?’
‘I see fire, and blood, and a world laid waste if you do not act.’
‘If I act?’ said the Khan.
Sanguinius opened his eyes to look at him.
‘There is a grave risk to you. A confrontation unlooked for, and if you survive, a flight from one danger into greater peril.’
‘Who will I face?’
‘I cannot divine.’
‘Will I save lives?’
Sanguinius nodded. ‘Many.’
‘That is what I was made for,’ said the Khan. ‘I will ride out.’
The Khan is so based it's unreal
In the zealot mental gymnastics Olympics that's like a bronze medallist. A real gold finisher would cope by telling themselves abhumans don't have souls; no soul no gods.

Honestly one of the funniest things is that the Imperium could probably have had higher technology even with the Mechanicus breathing down its neck
One of the many problems is that human life in the Imperium is so much cheaper.
Why spend time, thrones, and efforts into creating a slightly better Lasgun that's easily reproducable
When you can just have like
20 million Imperial Guardsmen fire at it with the regular lasgun
Combine that with other factors like lack of standardization due to size, the Mechanicus being overly dogmatic and anti-innovation.
One of the main motivators to innovate is to
Save lives. A lot of processes, furtherance in medicine, etc. were for the purpose of trying to save lives.
The Imperium doesn't have that nor does it care beyond a certain point.
this is the basis of the 40k, no?
yup
The lasgun is pretty optimised for what job it performs
The cheapness would also be compounded by lower mass ammunition costs from the power packs compared to solid ammo
It's also less that needs to be carried 'on the field'
The imperial guard probably have more bolt weapons than marines do in raw numbers too
i mean thats a safe assumption, there are several trillion guardsmen at least and only a few million space marines
Lore question lads
What’s the necron weaponry consist of in which makes it so deadly? Is it a synaptic atomiser?
their standard rifles literally rip apart the bonds of the target's atoms
and thats just their basic weapons
to call necron weapons OP is an understatement and then some
Gauss is literally the most basic
to be honest they just basically use a specialized type of energy really
They are magnetically based[Needs Citation] weapons that break down the target into its component molecules layer by layer and attract the molecules back to the gun at incredible speed.[1] This creates a flaying effect[1] and can vaporise the most heavily armored warrior or blast a hole in a Land Raider. This means that even the most basic Necron Warrior has a chance to blast a hole through the heaviest armor and completely vaporise the most skilled Space Marine.

That’s some archaic level death Ray! Wicked
The necrons are just pricks and that’s a compliment
good afternoon the horus heresy is shit
question
40 books of depression
u shall be in pain at the end brother
aura
Depression that you spent time reading all the filler content
ihope ur pilllow stays cold on both sides
A good chunk of it is pretty notoriously filler
The best warhammer character!
that’s not USD right?
Lmao it’s good
Wut

ye
perty has seen better days
i needdddd
if i cud get some big bois and mini dudes as action figures i cud mmake a diorahma
this man is john warhammer
most beautiful creations i found on reddit
Heres a question what is the Talon of Horus Abaddon has a big claw but is it just Horus gauntlet or his entire arm. I thought its Horus arm he just pulled off his body after getting killed and he put it on himself that's why he has no arm in the memes
none must be crippled in 40k as many cripples die instantly so id say the latter
imma be real im currently sketching out the new abominatus weapons
so that i can make it on blender
and its hard
what do you mean?
the him takin horus' arm bit
ah ok
but ask others im not 100 percent sure
i like the idea of it being his arm
like this guy?
whell theres a tone of claws you culd do a pincher claw more spikes or crusher mure reged but bulkeyer
i suppose
the claw idea sounds interesting but up to you in the end got any photos of what your thinking
Both
It’s the gauntlet
One on each arm
There’s an entire story about it lmao
Me too lmao
i haven't read any yet but i got a top 3 night lords cain and god blight but got to add them to list
thats a good list
Read warhammer crime, it’s amazing
cud work
Warhammer horror is awesome too
The warp and it's writer driven bullshit is one of my favourite bullshit things across all fantasy science fiction
PLaying BG3 is making me want to get some night lords audiobooks ngl
Raphael's VA is so good
i got whiplash by the second part of the sentence i'm not gonna lie
hes such a good VA, him and Gregory
Raphael's VA narrates the audiobooks
considering his voice work is not good they did well hiring him

He sings his own theme song 
this is peak boss music
lmao
The meme was funny the first ten times I saw it posted
shut up tinhand
Also thats a really funny detail actually i didnt even notice lol
Legit four separate people posted it on grimdank in different formats
Thats the thing though reactions like yours is what makes it funny

"har har I heard it 10 times"
ironically never gets old
its about as funny as "Yeah yeah ferrus has a dumb name like everyone"
We're lazy
Obviously
thats the reality oomfie
yeah you are so easy to get miffed it's kind of funny
HAHAHAHAHDHAHSHHSHDJS
Here let me make a tau commie joke rq
Or a burn heretic one while we’re digging up the classics
I love that pose so much
its more just him looking like he got back from school
He probably got whacked

The local gretchin beat him to death while he was dying
It looks cool
valid
Also gore on skulls is harder to paint
miniwise or
minis yeah
mostly easier to paint
it makes a clearer image
if they were all bloody it would take attention away
I guess you could say there’s definitely a fair amount of factions and weapons that would clean off a skull well too for most of these
And it’s kitbash gore on
Not as easy to remove it
i do quite apperciate the lack of gore on models
im redownloading fallout 4 for the 90th time lmao
ah yes the bethesda game pipeline
beat it 50 times and then uninstall it for 4 years then reinstall it and beat it 50 times
Fallout 76 is a guilty pleasure of mine
It’s very relaxing
I will say i am surprised besthesda didn't give up on it
Very nice community
They’ve been steady with it, just released a new raid
First one
i love doing expedition grinds w/ my flamer or cryolator
it was on the gutter for a while
so you know what bethesda you have my respect on that one
my firefighter themed responder main account
It’s definitely a smaller team but it’s in a good spot I’d say
(i love the responders)
It gets updates every so often
i am very empressed with the writing of the game tbh
well at least the game is fixed i just wish that it didn't suffer the damage it did
genuinely had a lot of potential
Yeah it had a rough launch
i think a few things have kinda left behind i hope htey follow back up on lore wise
like the order of mysteries
I’m curious where they’ll go
my hope is they make a heavy pivot come back
chicago sounds awesome
if they are doing new orleans i hope they delay it for a while htough
because of recent events
i'm just waiting for fallout 5 or the new elder scrolls
Oh yeah man one thing about 76 is it easily has the best map of any fallout game. Even fallout 2 imo
I'm gonna be honest I separate like the non 3D fallouts from the 3D fallouts
And I think my favourite enemies of the series so far.
its really really good, just walking in a random direction you will fall into a web of quests and things to do
fallout 76 is definitely cooking i will say
theres only a few completley abandoned locations and stuff
(mainly were scrapped due to old events and stuff)
Like I played it before NPCs
it feels lik eevery location has a mini sidequest to do for a stupid large amount of XP
And it has the Bethesda environmental story telling cook all over.
Like that's the only kind of story telling these guys can do.
i hope to god fallout 5 if it even comes out is good
i don't know i don't really pay attention much to fallout nowadays, i'm stuck addicted on marvel rivals and warhammer age of sigmar
ive been getting back into wasteland warfare so ive been on my fallout bindge
getting an institute box soon
<3 a-2018 my beloved
9UDYGUFSHJD
theres .like 4 mods im planning to use for this playthough, the multiple followers (deacon and valentine), the faction armor paint applyer mod, a light rework railroad mod, and probbably like 2 more things
i might get the noir apartment creationclub?
its probably the best thing ont he creationclub
yeah theres a lot of good non-gooner mods for it
THERES NOT GONNA BE AN ELDAR STARTER BOX?!?!
how did we go from fallout to Eldar
I got the warhammer this week notification form youtube
yee, armor mods are probably the hardest thing to find that isnt gooner tier or op
It won't be. Billions must divide.
NO WAY. ELDAR SENTINEL
50/50 chance the person w/ that library is a trans cat girl or an alt right gamer
is it new? i thought it was a reboxing
oh my sweet summer child that's the same person
LMAO
I can’t believe Eldar would steal from the guard
Next you’ll tell me they stole hover tanks from primaris
new mold for this
this is awful
it's in the sunday preview though
wtf are the 2 barrel looking things on the underside of the cockpit?
really because to me the other one looks older
they repainted it
i think they should've pretended these never existed
They’d spruced it up
Is it one of those weird GW decisions of putting old things together with the new things again
the walker i agree
It’s funny though, imagine you trained for centuries and you’re riding one of those around
its funny because like
Goodwin had a much better one drawn
yet they used this one
lol
it's horrible
It’s a two piece model set now and it’s just a way to repackage, they say as much
Since they’re doing a Eldar box
it it looks like it's missing on upper half
Im gonna be honest, this looks kinda dumb
They aren’t new models
GW yet again
man, I just came back from such a great wedding
I do not know how their brain functions work
it was super 40k, there was a massive line for the buffet
I mean I wouldn’t buy the walkers but I think they hold up fine
"40k"
😭
and people drinking 7 different types of tea
Idk anyone buying the Eldar for their walkers ever anyways
Why the fuck is the sentinel thing designed like that
The tank is sick though
homie if you describe a wedding 40K like
The tank does look good
the legacy of the AT-ST will never die, chicken walkers are here to stay i guess lol
bad designer pickers
do they have weddings in 40k like, in the giant cathedrals dedicated to the big e
It’s like a 20-year-old model
like read blessings and vows that are like " the emprah approves of this union"
getting rid of the pilot and making it some kind of wraithbone soul thing would go a long way
Still though weird to promote it next to the incredibly heavy hitting new guys
I wouldn’t be shocked if whenever the update is for their vehicles
Those aren’t included
the one random dude gets drunk and starts shit talking then the inqusition crashes the wedding and arrests everyone
are those 2 guns on the underside of the cockpit set at the most useless angle possible?
They could've just hired the AoS guys for this or even just look at the Bone Titans and such (I forgot their names) for the general theme
they put that goofy walking thing next to this
Guys it’s not a new fucking model
then the married couple get turned into servitors whove forgotten each other
I wish. 40k in general could use the AoS touch lol
That’s a 20+ year-old model
Elves stinky but this rocks
elves have banners ?
they all do yea
its like a samurai backbanner thing
its for sergeants/commander types
Very much planning on painting all the available Phoenix Lords at some point
They’re very samurai coded
like I know it's a silly old model but like it's really really ******* funny that they put that old thing next to the new shiny things
cool models
they do it with a lot of factions
the guys who beg to get sniped
as said above some people lap it up
considering its an eldar they'd prob dodge it lol
ancients are cool though
compared to a imperial waving it around
hey money is money and that's GW
as the entire company gets shocked when the banner guy gets shot
Generally, with the box sets, you’re getting such a good deal on the rest. It doesn’t even matter if you don’t like half the models.
someone on YT said it best, AOS is a smaller line and there for the teams have more freedom to experiment than 40k
its also newer and there for less brand identity stuff
Its less line
more they literally got the better designers
this was said awhile ago
one thing thats funny af is that that the 40k factions have so many elite tiered variants of each other that it makes the base seem obsolete, like you think the average space marine is capable , and theres so many 'elite' tiers of space marine above the average it makes the base guy get sniped in the head by a psyker flinging rocks
Thats kind of the funny part yeah lol
tho its only like primaris that do this
and literally everyone makes fun of it which is fair
The guy who made Coatez works on AoS btw
having to make a variant for like
Coteaz is like
literally any combat scenario
Warhammer 30k reference
I don’t think they’ve ever said they have “the better guys” on AoS, the designers work on both
You can look at their body of work, it’s almost always both
i like cyrus from dow2 that way as a character
fucking
Yeah because it’s just “legion tactical support squad”
Desolatessors
And then the weapon variants
I’m sure GW
barely copies it
ah yes the Beaky flash gits
because hes a scout marine that comes across as supremely good at his job despite not being a power armor type and leading mostly neophytes into battle
But my fucking lord the codex is fat
LOL
Like you could bludgon someone to death easily
With the space marine codex
Cyrus is only good because Steve Blum voices him
one of his lines has stuck with me for most of my life at this point
You’d have to struggle a bit with the other codexes
Wait who made Coteaz
Lol
guy's voice is like liquid sex
But the Marine codex is FAT
I’d have to look up his name again
Especially the 8e 2nd codex
It could use more
That one is like
steve blum is kinda goated yes
Truly the most glorious brick
And what else has he made recently
"kinda" is CRAZY
Or do you mean the original Coteaz
"i respect you enough to be honest with you" is the summarized version
I'm just curious about his aesthetic. Coteaz was such a miss but like....... idk surely he was trying to do something with it.
at one point cyrus just casually " yeah when I was in the deathwatch we hunted down tyranids" and its so simply said but its got all that steve blum jazz to it
It was aboslutely a terrible model
NuCoteaz I mean
we dont have to be nice
Steve Blum also did these two monsters in rivals and my god it is peak
I don't think it's a problem of better designer, but rather managment being more difficult on 40k
I mean the new one
hes voiced like
quite literally a thousand characters
so that adds up
The glorious blunt force book
It’s a obvious choice in how the setting looks
Really, Dilara? You think it's ok not to be nice?
40k is generally more subdued
💀
wait what?
"subdued"
yeah thats definitely uh
a take
Wrong image
It definitely lacks flair in some minis though thats for sure
What does subdued even mean here
i was just gonna roll with it to be honest
Not as busy
He usually means "its different setting aims"
which like
is also pretty weird as a point
I read some fan fiction about kharn recently, it was...interesting
but idk
No I agree
where did you read it
I mean it’s the obvious design choice
AoS minis have much more detail

if thats an actual joker i fucking want it
It’s like
Do not go there
It’s in the cryptid mod
40k is going for different things
It’s hell
You can play the entire deck as a poker hand in a balatro mod
That’s a awful deck
its basically a bunch of space marines fighting world eaters and theres bloody mists of blood on the frontlines and the space marines in middle line start screaming " ITS KHARN!" KHARN IS HERE" as a red tornado starts blending them into mist
I gotta play fuckin Balatro, I refuse to believe it’s this good until I do
it was very fanservice, but in a violent hype kinda way
But it’s atrocious
I can’t even comprehend it
Agreed ngl.
Balatro is peak
To be fair
Trust
If heavily recommend it
an entire world eater legion attacks a planet
It’s very easy to get into
they got like
peakatro
And it’s super fun
LOL
ITS SO GOOD
Yeah I will say warhammer models aren't as busy because this is like the model of a brute and like they are already showing a pretty decent amount of da pretty decent amount of detail, leave which makes sense they want to sell that you know high fantasy look
i think they also do that shit of like
I love codex lore
EIGHT
All the imperial preachers turn into brass statues
Feels too easy ngl
Its funny so ill take it
that is legit great
And then all the imperials go insane and turn to chaos
like the fighting is so violent the entire planet fractures
ive also acknowledged nurgle as my favourite chaos god
I honestly try my hardest to become as goofy as the codexes sometimes
yeah but i will also raise you battle tome lore
hidden gems on those things
once again warhammer shows it is still a british anime
up there with.
"Nurgle was offended."
true true
The one with the world that cured all disease so nurgle made it into a daemon world is very petty
god damn dragon ball levels of stupid at times and thats why we love it
me after nurgle found me doing something for the good of humanity by curing diseases that had never been cured before ( unfortunately i caught his attention )
mind you, mortarion might be be my least favourite daemon primarch, but I think I like the nurgle the most of the 4, I like that the deathguard seem more organized than the rest, that nurgle has basically a bunch of buffs and debuffs going on, that hes got awesome fast moving zombies when he wants em, the diseases can do basically anything on a mass scale, and the whole theme of the 'bells tolling' and nurgle having a garden which makes perfect sense as a metaphor for growing literal ugly shit, and also the whole grandfather and all the nurgle folks doing grotesque smiles thing
I find that all that more appealing than like angry berserker and brass and hellhound trademarks of khorne for example
My only complain is I wish they were renamed instead of brutes
Nurgle is very cool
Tide games only make even more propaganda for him which is nice
There’s brutes and the brute keyword
i mean it fits them
barring a few select people they are physically speaking the most superior in the realms
apparently game devs tend to like nurgle because hes much easier to design villains around as gameplay
Literally carry around giant weapons and covered head to toe with scrap armor beaten into shape with their hands
which makes sense ofc
so hey are Brutes
since youve got zombie npcs and buffs and debuffs
at every sense of the word
more or less the same reason khorne was the goto for years
plus nurgle also has total access to psyker stuff, but its not like its guaranteed, so you can throw in spellcasters whenever you deem convenient
Nurgle is the easiest to introduce non warhammer fans
the maggotkin does go hard
oh nice
luv me guts
look at that smile
the smile only a disgusting demon would love
the fly shield is funny
it's pretty good
it looks like me on a saturday morning
also the whole theme of nurgling brewing diseases in a cauldron and coming up with planet destroying experimental diseases that make a population deaf for example is pretty sick compared to other 3 gods
Yeah but it gets confusing when the mega boss gives brutes a buff and there’s 3 kinds of brutes
Nurgle moment
thats me every day of the week lol
Ngl I don’t like the armor color used
It’s way too “clean”
Their are also surprisingly easy to paint compared to their 40K counterpart
The armor is simpler
Yeah
Death guard armor is pretty complex
they do seem...smoother
that is true
And it’s rough skin so it’s much easier to paint
it looks too clean for nurgle
yeah but what would you call them lore wise you know
I cannot think of anything better than brutes
Mega brutes or something

Just add another word to the front
actually that can work
they do like sounding big and tough
unfortunately, liking nurgle still doesnt make me like morty
I actually like fulgrim way more than morty
what a man
also I absolutely like the guy thats actually running the emperors children in practical terms
i forgot his name
the guy
Eidolon
the space marine
yes
thanks
he seems quite reasonable for being, well, an emperors children
like hes got leadership qualities unlike fulgrim and lucius
and fabius
Speaking of EC
In fulgrim’s book, with the whole Maraviglia
Yall think any marines turned on each other like the mortals did?
Considering the legion id say so yeah lol
Best part of that is how they rushed on stage to keep the music going. Visualizing that is hilarious
Giant dudes trying to play instruments that would be small in their hands
That they have no concept of and just end up blowing up areas of the audience
Glad I bought a ticket
Ewwww scary monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No No, maggotkin are friend. Just like our dear bonnies, rot flies, plague toads, and dragon toads. What adorable, precious little creatures the grandfather gifts us.
This one is technically a flesh hound but just imagine this cute little monstrosity covered in poxes and sores. Dawwww
Half of the lore for DG is that even DG hate Morty
Morty wants to stay home and doom scroll Twitter, so his legion is very politically split
?
DT, SM 2, and MR
What are each of those again
marvel rivals
yee
puni, ws, venom,jeff
Respectable
trying magik rn
word?
lmao
I play spidey, Loki, magneto and winter soldier
gnarly
one more thing
theres a glitch in SM2 that will delete your weapon progress
all of them weapons, creds, skins,
im tempted to donate a load of plasma to get warhammer money
you can do that once a week
for 20€ each
so maybe in a few years, if you start right now, you could afford one (1) miniature
wtf
ive donated plasma before last semester
plasma crisis
you get 25€ here for plasma apparently
if you´re lucky and find a place that even gives money
50€ for platelets but that´s also a lot more time to spare
i couldn´t do it anyway no matter how much they give me. i´m getting dizzy just thinking about it
i unironically have to lay down now lmfao
Last time somebody did anything to my veins, it was an IV that punctured my vein and caused fluid to spill into the tissue around it, that gave me a superficial vein thrombosis
Iirc there was like 100 bucks for plasma from some local places I had near me.
I really should go there, its not bad money to visit there a couple times a month.
Wtf you people are becoming billionaires
Makes me wonder how we got blood donors at all
My dad is a universal donor so they always try to get him to donate.
I wonder if it could rejuvenate my skin if i got daily blood transfusions from newborns 💄💅🧛♀️🩸👶
Pretty sure that one dude has tried stuff like that, the deaging stuff guy.
Just need enough of them
Omg that guy lmao
With his son's blood, yes
THEY HAVE A LOT OF BLOOD MIRIAM

This is the guy right
Yeah I think so
He’s adjacent to my usual postrationalist Twitter follows lmao
Tbh its goofy but, hey its his money and he's not the worst infleuncer. Maybe something he does will benefit us, idk.
Yeah I mean it’s interesting
I enjoy weird people trying to do interesting things
It is goofy af tho haha
Yeah I doubt itll do anything but its definitely interesting to read about and witness a bit.
And it doesn't affect me so hey.
What is postrationalism 🧐
In practice it’s a lot of tech people who work at like OpenAI meta google etc
And have weird interests including for many 40k
I’m peripheral bc I’m an academic and not like in Silicon Valley
But it’s got a lot of lively intellectual and philosophical discourse that’s actually interesting
the core of the idea appeals to me
because yes not all info is usefully and not all truth is worth finding
The people are in general very smart and successful and mostly anons but there are some conceits like there are layers and layers of irony
And attempts to be “illegible” both ideologically and politically
Which is fine and fun it just sometimes becomes a bit
tbf thats just par the coarse of philosophy these days
But that’s also where like the ai safety wars are playing out with people like Yudkowsky on the one hand
And Sam Altman plus the e/acc trans/posthuman crew on the other.
Well Altman started out acting like he was a safetyist but uh
His actions betray a different agenda
He’s the head of OpenAI
i dont follow anything philosophy related because it makes my head hurt and i am frankly way to dumb to hang with it
It’s not annoying academic philosophy it’s like commentary on current events and tech and the future etc
Some people in tech, some people in finance, some engineers.
rewatching The Tithes "bullets" episode, I kinda hope we get to see more of the Aeronautica Imperialis in action, Particularly their Thunderbolts in dogfighting
There’s some really good books of them
the only one i've ever heard about was "Night Shriekers"
Lucille von Shard books are very good
Same with Double Eagle
hmm, i'll check these out
First book is
If a world has a tithe grade and human population. Does that mean it's technically an Imperium world?
It means at one point it was imperium controlled if it has a tithe grade
I LOVE THIS BOOK
God forbid women are in my fantasy facist army
Do I think it’s weird minka got another mini? Maybe, but whining cause it’s a woman
Is such a baby move dog
Mhm, I’d just like a chaos Black Library Mini
Can’t remember the last time there was one
isn't this like the third minka mini
she was literally in the worst cadia book
she sucks
The darkoath one
Everyone knows in the far future of the 41st millennium there are no women
SMH fake fans all of you
SPACE MARINE HEAD?!?!?
all she does is run around, watch her friends get killed then find a ship to escape cadia before it blows up
fuck her
i much prefer the commander woman who leads the defense of the ridge in the good cadia book
?
having read them all
Yeah
her first book is like
Not bad
genuinely terrible lol
There’s no sex either. Just dudes praising the god emperor. As it should be
It’s a full unit
white shield?
the cadia book?
This is pretty good, I like this
Isnt fall of Cadia the only good Cadia book?
there's lots of characters in fall of cadia who deserve a mini
nah
but its def the best one
lol
like that kasrkin who kills multiple chaos marines with his melta gun
fucking chad
I think its funny how he tells Creed he's going to be the one to kill Abadon and creed just thinks he's insane
its funny as shit
Generally speaking in a male dominated game releasing male characters will sell best
She's a celebratory mini
tbf
she's just meant to celebrate one of the many novel series's in black library
i like the buildup to his death, like obviously the guy wasn't going to kill abaddon but i loved how he kept surviving lol
I want an ogryn commander
and his death is super anticlimactic i love it
There is a named ogyrn mini
when done intentionally yeah
well obviously
Ogryns cant be a unique unit mfers when an ogryn kills a space marine with his bare handsd
the only thing i didn't enjoy about fall of cadia was the sisters of battle
They can't be an officer

is what I meant
also we have Nork
Nork is peak don't you dare slander his name
the sibling rivalry wasn't particularly done well
one sister given everything the other sister always feels inferior, blah blah blah
my problem isn't with a another named ogryn mini
my issue is with them being an officer
I think darktide made them a lot smarter than usual right
isn't there ogryn sergeants
theres ogryns in charge of other ogryns
why would you put an ogryn in charge of commanding anyways
so he can tell people to do silly things
Boneheads are the highest position they can obtain and you know just command squads of them
tbh im sure they'd do a better job than most spoiled noble officers
They don't actually command forces of the imperium just like a squad of ogryns
plus imagine having an ogryn yell at people to inspire them
hell yeah mister ogryn i'll bayonet rush that ork mob for you
I'd assume they meant like high ranking officer lol
not squad level ones
dont ping me im rocking to quasimorph ost
ngl i wonder how the imperium would react to a quasimorph
i guess it would depend on the kind of quasimorph
i'll be 100% honest with you, literally nothing would change for the imperium
just another demon to kill
true
This is just stupid...
Im sure those kind of people are also Krieg wankers.
So genuinely wonder
How does Faith work in the 40k universe exactly?
I know that miracles are a thing. The Emperor is a thing, blah, blah, blah.
But what I'm specifically interested in is how Daemons are hurt more if you're faithful.
A symbolism kinda thing similar to how melee weapons are more effective due to them having a longer history.
But let's say some (probably heretical by Imperium standards) wacko truly believes in another God.
Let's say he believes in the Beaver Lord
Nobody else does, but he believes in it with fervor
Would he be more effective against Daemons due to his sincere "faith"?
Or does it depend on whether the God is widespread.
Every soul has a small amount of psychic power and his dubbed as "faith", as in believing in something, wishing for it to happen.
except for blanks
Like believing in the Imperium Faith would be more effective compared to say some obscure religion.
blanks are born aetheists
Because there are a greater number of population believing in it, so it gets stronger.
The Old Ones probably knew the phenomina which is why the Ork Gestalt exists.
Orks believes in Gork and Mork as soon as they're fucking created.
The ork has stronger psychic than human and also number, and they believe in bullshit, and the bullshit works when it's not supposed to be...
Honestly it seems that the humans were kind of fucked in terms of Psychic potential.
Eldar created so many gods out of their top psy.
keep in mind it acts more like reality ductape
it's not a complete bending of reality
Eldar already got the ability to do the cool shit.
Orks already believe in a God so much that they have reality duct tape.
T'au aren't psychic enough to care.
for example that's why the reason they're poorly built guns are work
it shouldn't even work because of how poorly built it is but
Because their psychic powers hold it together it works
Eldar were already powerful psykers evolutiinarily
and then got bioengineered to be even stronger ones
the more high tech stuff won't need the psychic power much
by the Old Ones
Yeah. However, when the Beast orks appeared, they actually could bend reality.
Orks are also a literal bioweapon
like a power claw
It scales with how large how many of them there are
so the only way it can really start you know ******* with the reality
Basically.
A gun needs ammo, a trigger, and needs to be shaped as one.
Along with an ability to feed into the chamber.
The field does the rest to prevent it from exploding and killing the user.
is when you have Krorks and billions and billions of orcs
95% of the time anyways.
Ork tech is still unreliable even with the field which is fucking funny
All excited on generating large amounts of energy
This is kind of the reason races with less psychic power are more technologically advanced, in relative term.
Like Necron, who used tech to fight against reality itself, and the Tau.
Human is really somewhere in between.
also wolf, on an average physical to physical basis an Ironjaw Brute will probably beat orks right
yeah
well
assuming they work similarly
Ironjawz are like
all Ardboy size at least
I love the detail on how humanity's notes on how the Necron travel throughout space is simply
"We don't know, it's fucking magic"
Like in universe, it makes sense.
But it's fucking funny because the Imperium's form of travel is to go into a warped mirror of the universe, into what's essentially hell
with thought forms wanting to kill, murder, and maim.
Also, the warp is not supposed to be controlled by Chaos. The warp is more of the reality source of psychic. However, since many bad thought spawned from the living reality, it turns the warp into hell.
yeah Ironjawz Grow alot too and by comparing them to like model musculature this are nobz
Like if everyone in the universe believe that the warp is heaven like, it will be shaped like that.
this is Brute Ragerz
warhammer orks basically have the physique of old world orcs
Ironjawz meanwhile are way bulkier
So you can see it as: daemons are bad stuff happening, and faith is "I don't want it to happen to me...
the thing is with warhammer a lot of them sapient creatures generate their own psychic fields depending on how powerful their soul is
Not exactly. If everyone stopped having negative or even extreme emotions
If you think "Bad stuff is happening to me, and I can't do anything about it"... then you have less resistance against them.
that's why eldar are delicious
Then it would calm down
the psychic output generated by their soul are quite substantial
But chaos gods are vortices of emotion primarily.
Im keeping it simple.
Believing things to be one way or another doesn’t make a difference.
Also Chaos Gods have 2 sides as well. They are not just Chaos.
That’s very old lore. Khorne is also honor and bravery or whatever. Kind of doubtful now.
Certainly well meaning things can feed chaos
Like ambition no matter of what kind feeds the big blue bird
It is, but if you think about it, even without chaos, factions in the setting will still keep fighting each other to no end, so the honour and bravery side get weaker and weaker.
Perfectionism and extremity feed slaanesh even if it’s for the good
People within the same faction backstabbing each other all the time.
Well that is supposed to be the point they are twisted versions of those things like the great example of this is nurgle, he has a giant garden which you would associate to an abundance of life
But it's a sickly rotting palace of disease and pusfilled swamps where Feculent Gnarlmaws with corpses rotting on top of them
Whether you like it or not disease is still a part of life
and viruses and bacteria like that are living creatures
Yeah and also like resignation to fate can be good and bring peace
Slaanesh is simply desire.
But Nurgle makes it slide into despondency and nihilism
Slaanesh is extremity and excess. Tzeentch’s portfolio also covers desire
In the sense of ambition and striving
And when you have the desire for violence, it is where Slaanesh and Khorne clash against each other.
the best way to differentiate this is khorne is pure brutality
aggression and savagery
Slannesh is all about the style and you know grace of combat
the strikes of her champions are calculated and well put
Khorne's lack grace but make up for it with the amount of raw power each one carries
This is why chaos overlap, they work together, but also hate each other.
Before putting it as old lore, these things are still the running theme of the current the setting regarding chaos.
A main difference with Slannesh and Khorne is intent to.
Slannesh is about doing it for a obsessive reason often
Khorne tends to be more bestial
More for the sake of it
with Khorne it's the thrilll of battle and the carnage it makes
The metaphysics are better worked out now. I like the two sided thing in theory but I doubt it really holds.
Yeah
Slannesh it’s so you can be the perfect warrior
The best duelist
The best with an axe
Generally
Obviously it’s not quite this binary but
There’s khornate warriors who care about martial skill a lot too
Right and to whatever extent their perfectionism necessarily feeds slaanesh
yeah it's often just that most of them don't really do that because of how bloodthirsty they are thanks to the blessings
that's why most of the time they rely on pure instinct when they fight
swinging like mad animals
Yeah intent for why and who youre doing it for matters a lot.
And that comes back to their chosen symbols, garb, rituals.
Numbers, using brass stuff.
Because all perfectionism everywhere does or has a chance to b/c slaanesh is literally a vortex of perfectionism and related emotions that attracts all such emotions in the warp.
Obviously who their dedicating it too.
yeah this also explains why certain people that you know follow the general so-called creed of the chaos God don't fall to them because they do it for something else
These things feed the gods in the most literal sense — they become a part of them.
And because of that their souls go to a different place
Once you feel aggression it’s already on its way to become part of Khorne
a warrior seeking challenge and becoming better not because he wants power but because he wants to be the best shield for his friends isn't really gonna attract someone like Khorne or Slannesh
Or energize him.
No but his acts of violence and anger will feed Khorne.
He just doesn’t have to let Khorne reflexively influence him the way followers do
khornes not getting weaker anytime soon anyway
even if you draw blood to save someone once in your life, it empowers khorne
yeah the codex mentions even random shit like some unrelated barfight in a void port bar empowers him
yeah
Your drunk dad waiting for you to return from school, greatest champion of Khorne
so even if all the khorne guys die off, like literally all of them and the hoomies fight only tyranids, it empowers khorne
Not even human, just nature overall
Yeah but thank goodness have to completely dedicate something to him for it to take full effect
All the Chaos God are in some way naturally occurring
It empowers and but not to the degree of like you know decapitating an entire group of people in a planet
Yeah honestly they are probably an integral time point
jesus
Naturally occurring huh
What is the concept of "natural" entail here
Yet again nagash is right free will is truly a wrong existence
I've been wondering how to explain the warp for a while now. All "explanations" usually just tell me what the warp does, i.e. that's where daemons are born etc., but not what the ontology of the warp is.
Tbh its iffy
It's literally impossible to understand that's the whole point of it is
like the Warp is very much not that deep but can be deep if you wanna talk about it for an hour or so (ala Luetin)
sleepy time luetin
its literally just a realm of emotion ruled by evil cartoony space gods that works at the whims of writers for the sake of novel convenient paranormal events
The most basic explanation you can give of it to someone is that it's a dimension of lacking any type of law or order and does not obey the natural laws of the universe
luetin is reasonably accurare and his vids are nice , problem is he takes so long to get into the title of the vid i go to sleep

like no i wanna actually hear all this but the bro has to bring actual quantum physics to his warp video and im like "bro what"

For the world to not be destroyed you must watch a complete luetin video without your attention going to somewhere
bro he did a video on dreadnoughts and started off by explaining the history of astartes for 20 minutes

If it is another dimension connected to ours, why is it special in that it's apparently the only one?
holy shit he yaps
Because plot.

Yea ok whatever
