Problem is that he overestimated humanity's ability to NOT treat words as gospel

dapper gyro
#

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".

opaque coyote
#

Unfortunately Veterans are much rarer than rookies in the Imperium

#

For obvious reasons

plush mason
#

yup

dapper gyro
#

Most 2nd founding of the UM are way more zealous to the codex than the UM itself.

plush mason
#

yup

dapper gyro
#

To the point I read somewhere that they have to tell their successors to stop doing bullshit.

opaque coyote
#

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

plush mason
#

then Dorn comes back and he is like "here you deal with this shit im going back to sleep"

opaque coyote
#

Again.

Guilliman shows why a majority of the loyalist Primarchs simply fucked off

dapper gyro
#

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.

opaque coyote
#

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

dapper gyro
#

Lamenters are closer to IF than the BA.

opaque coyote
#

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

plush mason
#

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

dapper gyro
#

Yes

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

yup

dapper gyro
#

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.

opaque coyote
#

Honestly, I think they may have better luck if they didn't have those

#

Stupid tiny ass checkerboard decales

plush mason
#

kek

#

its because they larp as IF

dapper gyro
#

And the yellow colour that already make the IF dreadful.

opaque coyote
#

Definitely why they're cursed

#

It was the paint job all along

‘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

#

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.

sharp pollen
#

this is the basis of the 40k, no?

plush mason
#

yup

coarse pumice
#

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

plush mason
#

i mean thats a safe assumption, there are several trillion guardsmen at least and only a few million space marines

errant vector
#

Lore question lads

#

What’s the necron weaponry consist of in which makes it so deadly? Is it a synaptic atomiser?

plush mason
#

their standard rifles literally rip apart the bonds of the target's atoms

errant vector
#

Bandwidth rifles

#

Delete the epidermal layer of skin in 4K 🗿

plush mason
#

and thats just their basic weapons

#

to call necron weapons OP is an understatement and then some

queen laurel
#

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

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

small grail
#

imma be real im currently sketching out the new abominatus weapons

so that i can make it on blender

small grail
marsh socket
#

we can use ork power of belief (misinformation) to spred this new better idea

#

Legit four separate people posted it on grimdank in different formats

storm jungle

add him to the pile of other dead corpse-base jokes

dusk patrol

It was old when I made the joke

#

Lucius model is great though

storm jungle
#

"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"

dusk patrol
#

It’d just like some vague originality

#

Just once

storm jungle

We're lazy

dusk patrol

Obviously

storm jungle

thats the reality oomfie

dusk patrol

Lazy, unoriginal, lacking creativity

#

if there ever a lore expenation for all of the clean skulls everywhere?

#

is*

dusk patrol
#

It looks cool

rose thorn
#

valid

dusk patrol
#

Also gore on skulls is harder to paint

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

mostly easier to paint

#

it makes a clearer image

#

if they were all bloody it would take attention away

dusk patrol
#

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

rose thorn
#

i do quite apperciate the lack of gore on models

#

im redownloading fallout 4 for the 90th time lmao

Fallout 76 is a guilty pleasure of mine

It’s very relaxing

Very nice community

my firefighter themed responder main account

dusk patrol
#

It’s definitely a smaller team but it’s in a good spot I’d say

rose thorn
#

(i love the responders)

dusk patrol
#

It gets updates every so often

rose thorn
#

i am very empressed with the writing of the game tbh

dusk patrol
#

Yeah I enjoy it

#

It’s got some cool stuff

queen laurel
#

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

dusk patrol
#

Yeah it had a rough launch

rose thorn
#

i think a few things have kinda left behind i hope htey follow back up on lore wise

#

like the order of mysteries

dusk patrol
#

I’m curious where they’ll go

rose thorn
#

my hope is they make a heavy pivot come back

dusk patrol
#

I’ve heard Chicago or New Orleans is the next plan

#

Both would be great I think

rose thorn
#

chicago sounds awesome

#

if they are doing new orleans i hope they delay it for a while htough

#

because of recent events

queen laurel
#

i'm just waiting for fallout 5 or the new elder scrolls

south gorge
#

Oh yeah man one thing about 76 is it easily has the best map of any fallout game. Even fallout 2 imo

queen laurel
south gorge
#

And I think my favourite enemies of the series so far.

rose thorn
#

its really really good, just walking in a random direction you will fall into a web of quests and things to do

queen laurel
#

fallout 76 is definitely cooking i will say

rose thorn
#

theres only a few completley abandoned locations and stuff

#

(mainly were scrapped due to old events and stuff)

south gorge
#

Like I played it before NPCs

rose thorn
#

it feels lik eevery location has a mini sidequest to do for a stupid large amount of XP

south gorge
#

And it has the Bethesda environmental story telling cook all over.

#

Like that's the only kind of story telling these guys can do.

queen laurel
#

i hope to god fallout 5 if it even comes out is good

rose thorn
#

isnt the rumor that its gonna be in sanfansisco?

queen laurel

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

storm jungle

😭

and people drinking 7 different types of tea

dusk patrol

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

queen laurel

The tank does look good

do they have weddings in 40k like, in the giant cathedrals dedicated to the big e

queen laurel
#

great

dusk patrol
#

It’s like a 20-year-old model

summer mural
#

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

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t be shocked if whenever the update is for their vehicles

#

Those aren’t included

summer mural
#

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?

elves have banners ?

storm jungle

they all do yea

#

its like a samurai backbanner thing

#

its for sergeants/commander types

shadow plover
#

Very much planning on painting all the available Phoenix Lords at some point

dusk patrol
#

They’re very samurai coded

queen laurel
#

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

as said above some people lap it up

compared to a imperial waving it around

queen laurel

as the entire company gets shocked when the banner guy gets shot

dusk patrol
#

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.

plush mason
#

its also newer and there for less brand identity stuff

storm jungle
#

more they literally got the better designers

#

this was said awhile ago

summer mural
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

dusk patrol
#

The guy who made Coatez works on AoS btw

storm jungle
#

having to make a variant for like

arctic talon

Coteaz is like

storm jungle

literally any combat scenario

arctic talon

His one weird thing

#

Lol

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

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

storm jungle
summer mural
#

i like cyrus from dow2 that way as a character

storm jungle
#

fucking

arctic talon
#

Yeah because it’s just “legion tactical support squad”

storm jungle
#

Desolatessors

arctic talon
#

And then the weapon variants

storm jungle
#

yeah thats the part i love

#

"we are copying the 30k battle format"

arctic talon
#

I’m sure GW

storm jungle
#

barely copies it

arctic talon
#

Will change it

#

Eventually

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Some century

#

Not that I dislike the names

summer mural
#

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

Like you could bludgon someone to death easily

With the space marine codex

And what else has he made recently

storm jungle

#

Or do you mean the original Coteaz

plush mason
#

"i respect you enough to be honest with you" is the summarized version

sly ivy

I'm just curious about his aesthetic. Coteaz was such a miss but like....... idk surely he was trying to do something with it.

summer mural
#

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

yeah thats definitely uh

#

a take

arctic talon

It definitely lacks flair in some minis though thats for sure

which like

but idk

No I agree

It’s fucking terrible lol

It’s extremely funny

like uh one random example

If heavily recommend it

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

"on the 8th day of the 8th month of the 8th year"

like the fighting is so violent the entire planet fractures

ive also acknowledged nurgle as my favourite chaos god

arctic talon

Like TopKekSphere

#

Codex lore is funny

I honestly try my hardest to become as goofy as the codexes sometimes

arctic talon

It ranges from actually good

#

To fucking absurd

queen laurel

That’s the same

#

It’s either good

#

Or it’s fucking meme tier

queen laurel
#

hidden gems on those things

plush mason
storm jungle
#

up there with.

"Nurgle was offended."

queen laurel
#

true true

dusk patrol
#

The one with the world that cured all disease so nurgle made it into a daemon world is very petty

storm jungle
#

yeah thats the one i mentioned i think

#

literally "fuck you"

plush mason
#

god damn dragon ball levels of stupid at times and thats why we love it

arctic talon
#

“nurgle was offended” genuinely goes hard

#

LOL

queen laurel
# storm jungle literally "fuck you"

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 )

summer mural
#

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

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

Nurgle is very cool

#

Tide games only make even more propaganda for him which is nice

rose thorn

There’s brutes and the brute keyword

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

queen laurel

so hey are Brutes

since youve got zombie npcs and buffs and debuffs

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

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.

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

plush mason
#

the core of the idea appeals to me

#

because yes not all info is usefully and not all truth is worth finding

sly ivy
#

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

plush mason
#

tbf thats just par the coarse of philosophy these days

sly ivy
#

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

plush mason
#

i dont follow anything philosophy related because it makes my head hurt and i am frankly way to dumb to hang with it

sly ivy
#

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.

plush mason
#

true

dapper gyro
#

Im sure those kind of people are also Krieg wankers.

opaque coyote
#

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.

dapper gyro
#

Every soul has a small amount of psychic power and his dubbed as "faith", as in believing in something, wishing for it to happen.

humble shoal
#

except for blanks

opaque coyote
#

Like believing in the Imperium Faith would be more effective compared to say some obscure religion.

humble shoal
#

chadgryn blanks are born aetheists

dapper gyro
#

Because there are a greater number of population believing in it, so it gets stronger.

opaque coyote
#

Orks believes in Gork and Mork as soon as they're fucking created.

dapper gyro
#

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...

opaque coyote
#

Honestly it seems that the humans were kind of fucked in terms of Psychic potential.

dapper gyro
#

Eldar created so many gods out of their top psy.

queen laurel
#

it's not a complete bending of reality

opaque coyote
#

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.

queen laurel
#

for example that's why the reason they're poorly built guns are work

arctic talon
#

Humans are evolving as a race

#

to be more psychic

queen laurel
#

it shouldn't even work because of how poorly built it is but

#

Because their psychic powers hold it together it works

arctic talon
#

Eldar were already powerful psykers evolutiinarily

#

and then got bioengineered to be even stronger ones

queen laurel
#

the more high tech stuff won't need the psychic power much

arctic talon
#

by the Old Ones

dapper gyro
#

Yeah. However, when the Beast orks appeared, they actually could bend reality.

arctic talon
#

Orks are also a literal bioweapon

queen laurel
#

like a power claw

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

comparing humans with like

#

Rak'gol psykers

queen laurel
#

so the only way it can really start you know ******* with the reality

arctic talon
#

or like other minor xenos races

#

They're not bad

opaque coyote
queen laurel
#

is when you have Krorks and billions and billions of orcs

opaque coyote
#

95% of the time anyways.

#

Ork tech is still unreliable even with the field which is fucking funny

queen laurel
#

All excited on generating large amounts of energy

dapper gyro
#

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.

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

yeah

#

well

#

assuming they work similarly

#

Ironjawz are like

#

all Ardboy size at least

opaque coyote
#

"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.

humble shoal
#

just ask the dragon

#

he'll tell you how it works

dapper gyro
queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

Like if everyone in the universe believe that the warp is heaven like, it will be shaped like that.

queen laurel
#

this is Brute Ragerz

#

warhammer orks basically have the physique of old world orcs

#

Ironjawz meanwhile are way bulkier

dapper gyro
#

So you can see it as: daemons are bad stuff happening, and faith is "I don't want it to happen to me...

queen laurel
sly ivy
dapper gyro
#

If you think "Bad stuff is happening to me, and I can't do anything about it"... then you have less resistance against them.

queen laurel
#

that's why eldar are delicious

sly ivy
#

Then it would calm down

queen laurel
#

the psychic output generated by their soul are quite substantial

sly ivy
#

But chaos gods are vortices of emotion primarily.

dapper gyro
#

Im keeping it simple.

sly ivy
#

Believing things to be one way or another doesn’t make a difference.

dapper gyro
#

Also Chaos Gods have 2 sides as well. They are not just Chaos.

sly ivy
#

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

dapper gyro
#

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.

sly ivy
#

Perfectionism and extremity feed slaanesh even if it’s for the good

dapper gyro
#

People within the same faction backstabbing each other all the time.

queen laurel
#

Whether you like it or not disease is still a part of life

#

and viruses and bacteria like that are living creatures

sly ivy
#

Yeah and also like resignation to fate can be good and bring peace

dapper gyro
#

Slaanesh is simply desire.

sly ivy
#

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

dapper gyro
#

And when you have the desire for violence, it is where Slaanesh and Khorne clash against each other.

queen laurel
#

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

dapper gyro
#

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.

dusk patrol
#

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

queen laurel
sly ivy
#

The metaphysics are better worked out now. I like the two sided thing in theory but I doubt it really holds.

dusk patrol
#

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

sly ivy
queen laurel
#

that's why most of the time they rely on pure instinct when they fight

#

swinging like mad animals

dusk patrol
#

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.

sly ivy
#

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.

dusk patrol
#

Obviously who their dedicating it too.

queen laurel
sly ivy
#

These things feed the gods in the most literal sense — they become a part of them.

queen laurel
#

And because of that their souls go to a different place

sly ivy
#

Once you feel aggression it’s already on its way to become part of Khorne

queen laurel
#

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

sly ivy
#

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

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.

storm jungle
#

Tbh its iffy

queen laurel
#

It's literally impossible to understand that's the whole point of it is

storm jungle
#

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)

summer mural
#

sleepy time luetin

storm jungle
#

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

queen laurel
#

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
