I totally like the Lahmian sisterhood because they are cool not because they are woman

vampires are due for some meaty changes in wh3, Im sure they are on the line for CA

storm jungle
#

literally using the power of rizz

summer mural
#

they are cooler than strigoi at least

#

strigoi are like peak brainless

arctic talon
summer mural
#

also having strigoi being good at fighting is like " yo everyone is good at fighting"

tough haven
#

Well I imagine a former hiver would know certain things about hive cities and surviving in them in general than someone who’s never been in one before

summer mural
#

yes

#

that seems accurate

#

go on though

tough haven
#

But I was trying to think of what knowledge that would be

storm jungle
#

Entirely depends again. A hiver would know their hive but if it was another Hive they would probably know some essential "has to be here" locations.

tough haven
#

So I can describe it

winter vessel
#

Side note. I find that This is the funniest art piece related to Nagash. Boy built a bigger pyramid than Settra like it was a dick measuring contest.

storm jungle
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Anyways I’m sure nagash would give all his Mortarchs leashes if he could because of how much of a control freak he is

summer mural
#

nagash was a serious douche

storm jungle
summer mural
#

even when he was a human

storm jungle
#

and pretty egyptian-accurate

arctic talon
#

Nagash is like

#

Genuinely the ultimate hater

storm jungle
#

tough haven
arctic talon
#

He built more of them in AoS

queen laurel
#

yeah he's up there with reverse flash

#

it was nice nagash got his ass kicked a bunch of times in fantasy and kept coming back, now hes kinda ..strong

queen laurel
#

like three times

arctic talon
#

But it didn’t destroy the whole pyramid

#

Like planned

#

Also Ikit is now a rat cast eternal

#

Prolly

#

Sorry Ikrit

#

Not Ikit

queen laurel
#

i swear the skaven just has this uncanny ability to **** his plans over

arctic talon
#

Trust

winter vessel
summer mural
#

do skaven have some new big thing in aos or are they the same

storm jungle
#

Kinda the same

queen laurel
#

like what did nagash do to them

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

they can do gnawholes now tho

arctic talon
#

But generally the same

summer mural
#

they still dont have more verminlords

arctic talon
#

They’re more technologically advanced

storm jungle
#

they do

arctic talon
summer mural
#

and is thanquol a god now

arctic talon
#

But they’re like pretty similar

arctic talon
summer mural
#

SAD

arctic talon
#

GHR would never allow that

#

Lol

summer mural
#

oh nice

queen laurel
#

they have more of them

arctic talon
#

Gnawhole nukes

#

By Skryre

summer mural
#

I love verminlords, I was sad they were like chaos daemons in fantasy but skaven couldnt access them easily

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Attacking the Seven Words and encountering Hamilcar again, Ikrit declared that when he was strong enough he would travel to the Realm of Azyr and take the throne of Sigmar for himself. He is finally defeated by the combined forces of the defenders, his head torn off by King Augus Ayr Augellon, but his body disintegrates into a bolt of lightning that arcs into the sky returning to, or so Hamilcar speculates, Ikrit's travelling burrow.

Classic Ikit

storm jungle
#

Lmao

#

fucking rat

summer mural
#

#

Ikit is so chad

winter vessel
#

I want them to make this as a Skaven mini

arctic talon
#

Ikrit is fire tbh

#

I hope he becomes a mini

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

I love the idea of Denentia Ikit who’s older then dirt

dusk patrol
#

Nah he's lightning now

queen laurel
#

that's right because of that they don't need the fancy portals

arctic talon
#

And spiteful

summer mural
#

ik about gnawholes

queen laurel
#

they just poke holes through reality and move there

summer mural
#

mostly from how they dried up an ocean

#

the deepkin were not pleased.

No Hive is the same aside from SUPER general structural design things

dusk patrol

Inventions
Micro-constructs: He has been able to create tiny machines that look like flecks of dust to the naked eye, these he can insert into a subject to examine its internal biological workings.
Cogwork shock-vermin: Stormvermin clad in bronze armour, armed with shock halbards and able to execute devastating pre-programmed combat routines.

storm jungle
#

its the equilavent of going to any hotel and being like "well they gotta have a pool somewhere"

*meth

but yes

summer mural
#

if only thorgrim could see this now

#

too bad he got shanked

storm jungle
#

they'd have a "general" idea

#

aside from that they still dont know it as well

queen laurel
#

oh for zog

arctic talon
#

Thorgrim would prolly slam the book if he saw the Cities of sugmar sigmar

dusk patrol
#

Micro-constructs, man-thing. They harden-stiff to physical trauma-damage, yes yes.

summer mural
#

thorgrim might love the overlords ngl

tough haven
queen laurel
summer mural
#

that is true

queen laurel
#

because they feel like they got abandoned by them

#

only one group of them

#

do

winter vessel
#

“Turn to page…394”-Thorgrim

queen laurel
#

Of course there are still those that respect them but most of them do not really like them

summer mural
#

realm lords are nice though, I like how theyve doubled down on the arrogance

#

unironically

summer mural
#

you think they look to tyrions teachings and be like " yeah this guy picked up an evil sword thats plagued his bloodline for generations, hes an excellent elf to look to for guidance"

tough haven
#

Secondly, got any ways to really hammer in just how ducking awful it is to be a human psyker? Not like the ones you see in darktide, but like literally zero training with fucking everything wanting to kill you

dusk patrol

either that or you actually do in fact have your head explode from warp use

Their voicelines

I can still hear them

Gutter runners vox

#

fuck gutter runners

Death is a mercy

dusk patrol
#

SNEAKING-ING…..SS-SSSTABBING…eshineshineshin…

summer mural
#

also moulder is nice

#

skaven really got everything

arctic talon
#

Yeah

dusk patrol
#

It is funny how so many Skaven just suck at everything, and then there’s Eshin

tough haven
#

Why are skaven more Orky than fantasy orks fr

summer mural
#

eshin went to the far east to train and cameback as gigachads

arctic talon
summer mural
#

like imagine a skaven meditating on top of a mountain in cathay, doing his inner peace monologue from kungfu panda

arctic talon
#

Skaven got split up between the Imperium, Orks and generic chaos

tough haven
#

And it’s beautiful

arctic talon
#

In 40k

#

In terms of the hats skaven wear

summer mural
#

clan skryre is awesome too

#

gunpowder factions, and then theres clan skryre

dusk patrol
#

Skyre is awesome but they’re also super incompetent a lot of times too

summer mural
#

they are its funny

#

their shit blows up

winter vessel
#

Which Skaven was it that disposed Boris the incompetent?

dusk patrol
#

Most clans have a very competent leader and some elements but Eshin are abnormally much more competent

summer mural
#

but they have those one wheeled motorbikes

#

and they ride around shooting warp lightning at fools

#

Eshin are like the officio assassinorum for skaven

#

the clan lords use them to assassinate each other

tough haven
summer mural
#

yeah

#

maybe

tough haven
#

Doomwheels

#

That’s it

summer mural
#

doomwheels

#

yes

queen laurel
#

so that they stop asking for them in 40k

#

like they would already fill up the already crowded space available

summer mural
#

just remove the tau

#

a skaven space cruiser would be worth it

queen laurel
summer mural
#

yeah

#

its not like gw is afraid of pissing off people

queen laurel
summer mural
#

why, its not a transaction

queen laurel
summer mural
#

hence

#

the tau

queen laurel
# summer mural the tau

I would rather have them stay because the mechs are cool so having your ability of asking gone would be a worthy trade to be honest

summer mural
#

the mechs are cool

#

I just prefer the rats

#

kroots are awesome though

#

they should have their own empire

vagrant fox
#

just remove the tyranids they're orks but boring 100%

summer mural
#

the bioadaptation thing I kinda like tbh

#

especially how its not something they just say and its something that actually happens with the units

#

I think they have likea bunch of nids that are specialized for assassination now

#

which is really telling in terms of intelligence considering youd expect them to be a swarm for everything

#

but the nids are like nah, actually just infilitration and assassination is an awesome tactic and we know it

rose thorn
#

I think 40K really needs like, 4 more xenos lmao

celest dome
#

How are Skaven more Orky ?

arctic talon
#

Rak'gol

#

RAK'GOL

celest dome
#

Cause they have ramshackled tech ?

arctic talon
#

I want them

summer mural
#

40k xenos uhh

#

a race of dragon people

vagrant fox
#

There's those freaks in the Ghoul Stars

celest dome
#

Niccassar if new Tau allies taking more presence

arctic talon
#

I'd rather just get more xenos

#

unrelated to each other

#

Rak'gol fill two bubbles, Chaos and Xenos

summer mural
#

id just get some wins for the xenos honestly

#

feels like the aeldar could use some respect

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

but

#

the speaking funny part everyone likes

#

skaven has that

#

technology that is more volatile than the economy we have

#

skaven also have that

arctic talon
summer mural
#

that is true

arctic talon
#

Its why its the same fucking Tau jokes

#

from 20 years ago

#

are being repeated

queen laurel
#

a rather volatile command structure

arctic talon
#

the horse isn't just dead

summer mural
#

aeldar and tau are kinda the wimps yes

queen laurel
#

skaven also has it

arctic talon
#

its a skeleton now

#

Except aeldar like

#

aren't even whimps

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

People are never gonna read the lore anyways

arctic talon
#

so like the weird ass perception doesn't make much sense

#

people just assume elf = squishy and weak

#

which is weird

#

because like a good 3rd of CWE units are melee specialists lol

summer mural
#

I mean I like the eldar , the aspect warriors are amazing stuff

arctic talon
#

I mean yeah because you read

summer mural
#

well

#

no

#

Have you guys listened to the voxcast podcast that Covid killed?

arctic talon
#

I'm just talking about like

sly ivy
#

Some great great interviews

arctic talon
#

those people

#

lol

#

Just people who are very surface level and repeat the same memes and "lore"

dusk patrol
#

People always gotta be so toxic with stuff too

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

It can never be “I like this faction”

#

It’s always “I like this one and yours sucks and you suck”

sly ivy
#

Find Nurgle, bigot

dusk patrol
#

I feel like it’s become more prevalent, it happens in a lot of stuff

summer mural
#

yeah thats what I notice, from what ive seen people get really riled up over the imperiums xenophobia and fascism within the spirit of the meme and if someone says they like the nids its like ' INQUISITORS GET THAT BUG LOVING TRAITOR"

arctic talon
#

ngl

#

Larping is

#

so incredibly cringe

dusk patrol
#

I hate it all

arctic talon
#

online

#

hell even in gamestores if you're playing some random pickup game

#

its kinda cringe lol

celest dome
#

Never liked larpers, like do it in closed midst but don't do it in pub places

sly ivy
#

I larp as a functional human being every day

dusk patrol
#

It’s fine for like, maybe one joke with people you know or something but jfc it’s so old

#

And it’s always the same jokes

arctic talon
#

same jokes from 20 years ago

#

applies

dusk patrol
#

Some poor dude on the Iron Hands discord was talking about how some dorks in his LGS literally always makes Ferrus No Head jokes everytime he goes there. Like, every single time. He’s been going there for a year now.

sly ivy
dusk patrol
#

Same for Raven Guard with the “lmao emo” jokes its like

#

Mfer at least come up with something that’s fresher than 9/11.

vagrant fox
#

Sounds like a guy I know who spams the same shitty jokes with surface knowledge of the setting despite playing for nigh on 15 years

dusk patrol
#

And yeah they always never know anything

vagrant fox
#

haha orks could change the whole setting of they wanted to

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

no

#

this applies to everyone

#

except LoV

dusk patrol
#

It’s so boring to engage with.

arctic talon
#

who just spam shitty dwarf memes from other settings

#

that may or may not be relevant to LoV

winter vessel
#

They’ll research enough just to spite those who like it. And when said fans try to give their input, the trolls will just say they don’t care

queen laurel
vagrant fox
#

It is genuinely boring to not be able to talk a bout Eldar/whatever without a bunch of dorkass dweebs pulling the haha I hate elves meme out en masse

queen laurel
#

Because even an old joke has a place

dusk patrol
#

I just dislike anyone who has to bring other factions down all the time when they talk about theirs.

queen laurel
#

As long as you properly execute it

crystal forum
#

i like iron hands because they're so ignored that there's no memes

dusk patrol
#

People get really toxic about IH it’s kinda funny

#

Cause they don’t know shit beyond like

arctic talon
#

IH memes are mostly tabletop related

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

“Urm they’re meanies and Shadrak waaahhh”

#

It’s so often Salamander “fans” too

#

Who don’t actually know any of their lore

vagrant fox
#

Salamanders are SO nice smile

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

That’s one of the worst kind of fan to me that I see a lot of

#

The fucking “I wanna play the good guys” fans

vagrant fox
#

MY favourite space marine chapter is the Salamanders because they're the good guys smile

dusk patrol
#

Always Tau or Sallies or whatever and it’s so fucking boring

arctic talon
#

why the fuck did they add this to Imperium maledictum lol

dusk patrol
#

And they always play fast and loose with lore if they know any

vagrant fox
#

Fucking dorks, embrace ignorance and hatred like a proper lad

arctic talon
#

Either of its guns are going to instantly kill your players LOL

crystal forum

dusk patrol

That's funny, I'll have one kill a party if I ever run enough maledictum

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

lol

arctic talon
#

the upside is its fucking slow

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

the downside is it doesn't need to move to just obliterate you

dusk patrol
#

60 BS is very high though for an NPC

arctic talon
#

yeah

dusk patrol

Definitely kinda a dick move enemy lol

crystal forum
sly ivy
# crystal forum how

That there are people who like the aesthetics etc of the setting but it’s too dark for them?

sly ivy
#

Starkly beautiful but still beautiful

#

Some people don’t like quite so much darkness in their fiction. I do!!

#

And think it’s integral to the setting etc

#

I just said it’s understandable some people might wish it weren’t so bleak

#

While still appreciating much about it

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

well then I hate to say it to people who can't stomach the evil of 40k is like look for another setting and not 40k

sly ivy
#

I’m not going for anything

arctic talon
#

idk

#

I get it but also

sly ivy
#

I like the darkness

arctic talon
#

its fine if something isn't for you

#

like its not some sin to not like it

crystal forum
#

you can enjoy salamanders not being nice while also not self identifying with them 🙀

#

the problem is some people want heroes because their fictional game is their identity

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

I think using this is a great idea chat

sly ivy
#

I didn’t think that was so controversial lol

arctic talon
#

mhm

winter vessel
#

I just like the setting. How technology has progressed so far but humanity has stagnated to a near medieval lifestyle.

arctic talon
#

but like 40k becomes much more fun

#

when you just embrace the evil

#

imo

Ooh speaking of that blend, it reminds me of the next doom game coming in May

In one game I set an orbital station on fire because I could as a rogue trader, just to flex. Why be the good guy when you can be a total shithead

arctic talon
#

due to its nature

They're not meant to be bought, they're "trophies"

vagrant fox

Makes sense, I haven't gotten to try maledictum yet. I'm used to those older 1d100 systems

dusk patrol
#

I remember one Deathwatch game I played I was a Wolf Priest leading the squad and we had captured a bunch of rebels and had to get across a minefield. So I just told the rebels if they made it across the minefield I’d let them go, and we walked them in line ahead of us.

arctic talon
#

Maledictum is heavily based on Dark heresy

#

also this is funny lol

dusk patrol
#

The DM apparently didn’t see that coming.

arctic talon
#

Don't be a dickhead table

or be a dickhead

But I let them run away a bit and think they were gonna escape before we blasted them all at once.

That was a fun game, I had a Fenrisian Wolf named Ymir and she kicked ass. Fenrisian wolves in DW RPG have some goated stats

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Three attacks. 1d10+10, 70 dodge. 10 toughness and 4 armor, 22 wounds. Wild actually.

I think quadruped lets them move a lot farther too.

How’s this dialogue sound for an average imperial interacting with a psyker

#

The enforcer sees your Psykhana robes and glares.
“You’re one of those trained psykers, ain’t ya?”

“I don’t care how sanctioned you are, you’re still a witch. And if you ask me, it’s witches what started this whole Rift nonsense and doomed half the Imperium!”
“I’m watching you, If I so much as think I hear you muttering some curse, I swear by the Saints I’ll turn you into a stain on the pavement.” He racks his combat shotgun for emphasis

#

I have it separately quoted to allow for dialogue in between each line

arctic talon
tough haven
#

Alr, anything else?

#

Also gonna describe the crowds spitting as they approach and throwing shit at them

arctic talon
#

Looks good to me

tough haven
#

Btw this psyker is accompanied by two navy officers, so it’ll be interesting to see what they do about it

It can even be a sexy one or some shit but come on

Honestly humans in 40k for GW art always look freaky

like even when they're pretty

#

there's always some scarring, or armor plating ect.

spare osprey
#

when i think of like nobles, it's either nasty fucks or pretty in over the top future way

storm jungle

my rule when making a 40k OC is EVEN if they look remotely handsome they need at least one bionic somewhere on their face.

Wires going under the scalp, a bionic eye, some small cybernetic etc

It’s pretty amazing how 40k just like cornered this aesthetic

storm jungle

sly ivy
#

No one else even tries

Ok trench crusade

storm jungle
#

yeah the rule is if you dont want bionics give them some scars at least

arctic talon
#

Trench Crusade is its own aesthetic

#

tbh

sly ivy
#

The closest is like dune on the one hand but that’s less bionic

dusk patrol
#

Ru oh raggy, Calligos got that axe murdering glint in his eye again!

sly ivy
#

And random cyberpunk on the other but that’s not ancient / gothic

arctic talon
#

Octaviana is extremely hot tbh I am not biased at all

dusk patrol
#

I like how he named his axe "breaker" like

#

Calligos

#

That's....its a chopper

#

A cutter

#

Thats like, the worst name you could have for it.

arctic talon
#

Calligos is

#

a bit nuts tbf

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

Anyways of course someone made horny art of him too.

arctic talon
#

Tbh he was ||iconoclastic in the first place||

#

its why Chorda hates him so much

plush mason
#

ye

sly ivy
#

The voxcast interviews w Jes Goodwin and Phil Kelly go over some of the development of the aesthetic it’s great

dusk patrol
#

The line between Iconoclast and Heretic can often be very thin.

So many of the 40k founding fathers were massively over educate lmao

#

Educated

storm jungle
sly ivy
#

Clearly unlike me

#

Even Cruddace has a physics PhD lol

storm jungle
#

40k is like cyberpunk where you need bionic additions for even making the most "basic" stuff in a technological strata of society lol

its the head-dress

You just need some extra razzle dazzle

#

You know

storm jungle

like she has no bionics or scars but she still radiates malice as well

dusk patrol
#

EFFORT

storm jungle
#

yep

#

like she has sci-fi additions still lol

dusk patrol
#

Do some weird makeup or whatever.

arctic talon
#

idk

#

it is a WIP

dusk patrol

Yeah well he better WORK then

in any case 40k has such an odd aesthetic lol

does anyone have the Rogue Trader preset portrait

for the black militarum dude

the one where he's got a bunch of guardsmen behind him

I know this is like extremely oddly specific but I can't find a high quality version of that photo

Oh militarium

arctic talon

Yeah thats the navy dude

Ugh THERES SO MUCH AI BULLSHIT

#

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

best bet would be to pull the file from the game if you have it downloaded

after being around homebrewers for like 7 years atp

#

i'm glad none of them like the fallen

they're safe

storm jungle

LOL

#

Yeah honestly this is why like

#

i stay out of homebrew groups and jus tdo my own thing with pals

plush mason

its not like they need homebrew when most of the dark angel books are focused on the fallen lmao

I FUCKING FOUND IT FINALLY

adding that to my picture wall

lol

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

To be fair its not that hard

#

its mostly that the characters most people make are shit because as Silence showed a day prior they never want honest opinions.

#

Always empty compliments.

oh also fun fact

Nocturne has dummied out lines for being a companion

lol

spare osprey

#

Its why I quit the only big OC sphere i was a part of for 40k

#

they always just compliment each other and the moment you say an honest criticism its you being "bad" or "toxic" lol cunts

spare osprey
sly ivy
#

I feel like that hasn’t been fully realized

spare osprey
queen laurel
#

yet somehow

#

there are characters out there that are worse than that

dusk patrol
queen laurel

Like I admit I'm not good at making characters and as you can see it is blatantly obvious but like

#

come on

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

And don’t say “Medusa isn’t important”

spare osprey
#

they should've blown up medusa during the heresy

#

lion just forgot

dusk patrol
#

Because it objectively has had more happen than like

#

Almost every other chapter world

#

Including most first founding

#

But I digress

#

At least there’s Mordian

arctic talon
#

||you reveal his arch militant is a khornate||

tough haven
#

Can you do it and maintain good relations with the Aeldari?

arctic talon
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

Yeah you can

tough haven
storm jungle
#

since he becomes somewhat sensible

arctic talon
#

then you can do it later

tough haven
#

Ah ok, so I need to bring Jae

Since no one else in my party can talk to people ig

plush mason
plush mason

Me when I’m bored so I have to shoot poor people

arctic talon

you have to realize Calligos has like

||totally gone off the fucking deep end||

#

Aeldari I understand but damn

arctic talon
#

you know that one planet

#

with the horrible acid air

#

||he's keeping it eternal war||

tough haven
plush mason
arctic talon
storm jungle
#

like to give you an idea

#

hes so bloodthirsty

#

if you got marazhai in your party

#

he literally goes "rogue trader no offense but i like this guy id rather join him"

#

LMAO

tough haven
arctic talon
#

its ironic because Calligos also Was fine with Eldar

#

during the TTRPG era

#

||he's just gone completely off the fucking deep end because of the arch militant||

tough haven
#

Unfortunately, he got bored

tough haven
#

Or send him off to super hell (the inquisition)

#

The inquisition is probably like a hotel stay compared to the dark city

#

But this run I’m gonna keep him cause I need him for an ending that may or may not exist

storm jungle
#

probably one of the best companions too

#

the writer really likes him KEKW_ogryn

queen laurel
#

For yrielet

plush mason
#

@arctic talon i was wrong, that was the militarim commander portait you posted lol

queen laurel

I would rather have a controllable psychopath like kibellah

companions you got very rarely ever go out of line at all

#

the only hazard ever is like... well Idira lmfao

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

yeah all you get is like Heinrix going

queen laurel
#

Maybe on my next year period of being suddenly obsessed with rogue trader maybe i can recruit him again

storm jungle
#

"Rogue trader you got 3 xenos in your crew!"

#

"Shut the fuck up"

#

"Okay fine!"

#

thats it lmao

queen laurel
#

Not by much but hey better than nothing

#

I love being so kind i fundamentally change the universe

I would love an iconaclast interacting with an ork

Without too many spoilers.

#

Who is the biggest, fattest, most Ogryn like character I can recruit in RT?

storm jungle
#

Uhhhh

There’s a space marine?!

And he's the only large companion you can recruit that takes up multiple space

Ok I gotta recruit the space marine.

plush mason
south gorge
#

NOOOO I HATE THOSE ONES

#

Oh well if it’s Viking or nothing we ball.

queen laurel
#

I'm not going to tell you how to get him but he is the loudest biggest companion you can get so

#

Do what you have to do i guess

south gorge
#

No worries thank you!

#

I’m a bit sad you can’t have any gross guys like you can in Kingmaker.

#

Like Nok Nok or the Troll King.

#

Nok Nok was the GOAT

queen laurel
#

Back then it wasn't the best state but they fix it

#

And now they are slowly but surely adding some dlcs to buff up the game

#

The first dlc was actually quite a banger

plush mason
#

i love how it tied some of the one off locations together

#

on top of adding new ones

south gorge
#

because the blood psykers looked siiiick

plush mason
#

you mean death cultists?

queen laurel
#

Yeah those are death cults

plush mason

||you can even get special honor guard for your personal quarters called bloodwardens depending on how you end the companion's quest chain||

Good evening everyone, star wars is fucking shit!

#

Who would win, Vader or Abaddon

#

I think we all know

celest dome
#

Probably Vader

dusk patrol
#

Vader got some nutty things he’s done

#

The one thing I’ll give Disney, and this is mostly people who aren’t high ups credit

#

They’ve kept Vader scary and powerful largely

celest dome
#

Just Jedi/Sith on their own against a Non-Psyker SM is still heavily stacked for the Jedi/Sith

dusk patrol
hallow saddle
#

That's true actually yeah

#

You'd have to have Vader Vs a psyker

dusk patrol
#

Vader is way beyond almost all Jedi we see

#

And he’s stunted

hallow saddle
#

Who'd win, Vader or that mortal tzeench cultist sorcerer from secret level animation

#

Then who'd win, Vader Vs Ahriman

dusk patrol
#

Idk whoever the write to win

hallow saddle
dusk patrol
#

The Force vs Warp power isn’t really an exact science e

#

If we assume they’re compatible for the sake of it

hallow saddle
#

It's literally not science at all cause it's made up

dusk patrol
#

Then it still depends

#

And this is why magic sucks and magic user fights suck

#

And why the best magic settings have hard rules to the fights

hallow saddle
#

Who'd win, one neutrino or a wall of lead a light-year thick

dusk patrol
#

Me, after I blow my brains out

sly ivy
dusk patrol
#

Inheritance series does a good job establishing rules

sly ivy
#

What is that

dusk patrol
#

The uh Mistborn

#

Look it up

hallow saddle
#

Who'd win, one normal space marine, or Harry Potter

dusk patrol
#

I’m not gonna go into it all cause it’s done over a long time in the series but

hallow saddle
#

I think harry would get killed

#

Brutally killled

languid meadow

I mean does harry use avada kedavr? could he get it out before SM kills him

#

idk

#

I still find it funny that Vader technically killed Palpatine even though his suit was specifically made to be weak against electricity

Also I had to retype Palpatine several times because it kept auto correcting to Palestine

#

See what I like about 40k is that a lot of the weird complexity like that was baked in pretty early on

#

I realize stuff has been layered on

#

But still quite a bit was. A shocking amount

opaque coyote
sly ivy
#

Not really

opaque coyote
#

But then Disney declared 99% of it

#

Non canon

sly ivy
#

I mean the original movies

#

The books came way way way way later

#

Way later

languid meadow
#

I mean you could say that about the OG versions of 40k?

sly ivy
#

Rogue trader and Realm of Chaos etc

opaque coyote
#

A lot of shit became uncanon

sly ivy
#

Had a remarkable amount of current ish stuff

#

Ahhhh ok people yes both had stuff layered on

languid meadow
sly ivy
#

But my thesis is 40k frontloaded a lot of its complexity

#

In the first couple of editions

#

Whereas Star Wars was

#

Three movies

#

And a Christmas special

#

For a long long time

dusk patrol
opaque coyote
#

Kind of???

It only established it

Tyranids were originally Daemons I think

#

Or Daemon Adjacent

sly ivy
#

And then got this retrofitted complexity layered on and it doesn’t fit as well

#

Bc 40k was like built to accommodate it

#

Just superior world building

#

Ok that’s it back to shitpoasting

opaque coyote
sly ivy
#

I should never do serious posts

hallow saddle
#

yer if u read the rogue trader codex its surprising how much of it is still in place

sly ivy
#

And I know this bc I was alive when Return of the Jedi came out lol

hallow saddle
#

like the core if it really is valid still

sly ivy
#

Yes exactly what I’m saying

hallow saddle
#

maybe not the core, but a lot of it, its worth a read for anyone into 40k tbh

#

see where all this shit came from

sly ivy
#

And then within like 3 or 4 years we had much of the rest of base lore

opaque coyote
#

Chaos Androids are cool

Magnus's folly wasn't actually his fault

Like legitimately not his fault

languid meadow
opaque coyote
sly ivy
#

But that’s ok the UK is just an American colony

opaque coyote
#

The problem is that the Emperor became so pissed

#

That he literally broke through his webway just to shout at Magnus

#

The audacity that his favorite son, Horus, was a traitor was unbelievable to him

#

Honestly

#

I kinda wish it was kept like that since

#

Y'know

#

The Emperor is an asshole

hallow saddle
#

that must have been quite a bit later than 1st edition

opaque coyote

But I always liked having him be more human

A human asshole
