Author got real big
everyone has a motivation
theyre gonna tell the story of a tech priest working on the golden throne
Editor stepped back
Yep
Could have used editor
a story about a scout that fucking loses their weapon during the siege
and maybe a cat pov of the seige
literal slop aside from one story
yeah ASOIAF for me is while great George gets distracted by the realism too much, its great that every little character has wants/needs and some we actually explore to painstaking detail but even he has admitted this ends up in a knot of conspiracies he cant unravel lol
wtf I want this and the cat story so bad
because as it turns out writing multiple characters with suhc a style is extremely difficult lol
Where is the slop
Slop is like AND THEN THE MAIN CHARACTER UBER SUPER PRIMARCH PUNCHED SOMEONE’S FUCKING HEAD OFF
Don’t @ me I like know no fear too
To be fair Know No Fear does it well
because theres proper stakes
its not just mindless violence
Yes it’s real good haha
Its probably because the actual battle has serious implications
and its not just some fuck-off location

this entire line if you imagine it as one book is peak
I agree that Perpetual is the true heart and climax of HH
mark of calth just for the last story
It made me climax

i love dd2
its insanely fun
Final boss of the first game being solo'd by a man too angry and disease-riddled to die
proof
I've made a terrible mistake by reading the alpha legion subreddit
looks like the majority of the world's population is not at midnight, though 1-10AM wouldnt be too far off

i wish to physically punt zealot players
Mad because I'm holy and loved by the emperor, blessed be his name whatever it is, and you aren't
You’re just mad I get a 2 handed powersword
Someone’s gonna be dead in this chat in a minute
You
You is the someone
me + you when i see you (im really high up)
Me, standing on top you, triumphant.
You, after your pathetic failed sneak attack, dead, forgetting your weakness to massive blunt force trauma to the head.

that night lord is only pretending to be dead
That NL has gold trim
Nu art?
Old
I just think it’s weird one of the Necrons is so hunched over
Like that would suck lol
I like how the necron aren't really given any explanation as to why they're so smart/good at technology stuff. I wonder if it came before or after their overwhelming arrogance and superiority complex.
Gods in real space, we know that they were weaker then the chaos gods and stronger then the emperor unsharded
We don’t have an exact “fix” on their power
But we know that they were strong enough to pretty much genocide the old ones with necron support

A dumb thought relating to the Emperor having many names before the age of the Imperium, but would he ever have lived Oda Nobunaga's life?
arent you my friend on steam
oh you're my friend on discord too, duh
Are there any official examples of mechanicus psykers?
Such as?
"The elites don't want you to know, but the human babies on the hive worlds are free, you can take them home. I have 458 babies."
The main example is a Skitarii who developed powers during the psychic awakening
They now are basically a times 1000 version of Chernobyl and are kept in a lead lined case and used to fuck up enemies on the battlefield
i would think that such things as psykers would be highly disliked as it runs contrary to the whole cult's idea of the flesh being weak
It’s abnormal for a reason
Tbf it's more about the soul.
than the flesh
So it still works out.
not really, mechanicus considers the soul congruent with the flesh, hence why they attribute treason as the flesh failing them
presumably not imo. The Emperor didn't seem to be extremely active
Why the fuck does this sound something straight out of 40k
Like I can imagine
++Thought of the Day: Do not commit the sin of empathy++
Cause the Imperium is meant to be a satire on those sort of peoples
that actually fits so well lmao
looks like a fucked up AI Harry Potter art prompt
Because it basically is and was said before
its a pretty fascist quote lol
them garments look like an Epic quality cosmetic set from an MMO
I swear it appears on the loading screen text in game
Linking the golden rule is crazy
What is this from?
This one iirc
AHASHVSEVDUBSUS I’m
Fucking dying my roommate is asleep
Classic Warhammer experience
ask a question
the response does not answer the question
I’m gonna link the golden rule any time people are mean on the internet
About warhammer underworlds
what was the question 
Sorry I just need a rule clarification real quick, so let’s say you are playing a warband with more than 4 fighters and your opponent only had 3 fighters. A; can you in total only activate 4 fighters per round
B; when your opponent runs out of fighters to activate, do you just use your remaining activations?
Sorry if it’s in the rule book, I just can’t find where it would be
I need to completely understand the game because I have to do a project in college about it 
Can't find anything
The embergard box has a 3 model and 5 model warband
Think you would activate all the fighter
So I’m not sure
I think so too but you only have 4 activation tokens , I might need to binge a battle report
Okay I got it, you have 4 activations you can spend how ever you want
You can make 1 fighter go 4 times, 2 fighters 2 times etc
Some actions you can only do one like charge
NO SPOILERS
damn cant download it, page doesnt exist
yeah I'ma be real with you
this GSC mini is lame
he looks lamer then the normal primus
Peak Stormvermin meanwhile
Yeah but this also the first time you can get him without the patriarch and magus
Exactly
idk
maybe my standards are too high lol
but I was really expecting something more interesting
at least pose or like
just equipment wise
At least we have a good claw lord model
mhm
The model just isn’t great
hey mags
what da zog do all of these mean
I was gonna @ you, I WAS RIGHT THEY WANT MIXED ARMIES
You probably are gonna get rules to skip a certain phase
yeah to be honest trolls are cool but only using trolls would be boring
so i'm glad they are able to use basically every facet of their army
You already have trogg only rules, I imagine the armies of renown are squig and wolf only
yeah they need some proppa representation
If only they actually bother separating and making the orruks not reliant on each other
I think mixed force gits is ultimately healthier for the army
To be honest that is one of the strong points of the Gitz in lore, they have cunning but they don't have like the body and strength of ogors, Gargants, and orruks
and so they use a menagerie of things to even it out
Troggoths for muscle
squigs for societal needs and war
Stuff like that makes them great and the fact that they actually bother reflecting that on the army
i can safely say i'm happy
Neither of them really grab me.
They're fine for what they're doing but not quite as good as event minis tend to be imo.
As long as we have another ‘any Gloomspite gitz’ option i think we will be good
welp so far destruction is doing great
questionable for Orruks
Only boar spam sucks
and giants and Ogors are roughly speaking on the spot they are wanting to be
But they ahve an army of renown to make it okay
in that giant's suck and ogres are OK
yep
Balance wise giants need to suck
yeah that's why i said they are on the spot they want to be
The only viable way to make them competitively viable is to buff their stats so much that they can basically eat a spell to the face and not even flinch
Ogors are waiting for trh rework, aka thier bare bone balancing
but what they are is good enough
yeah only thing they need is a bit of sprucing up
most of their stuff is from fantasy
Yeah
it is magic the gathering meets warhammer so
?
afaik mixed color decks are better than pure color decks
Ye, I told Bulgur I had a feeling they wanted to pivot Gitz to mixed forces instead of mono themed armies like now
I imagine the 2 Armies of Renown will be for mono armies
when did this maledictum thing start anyway? i just heard of it
GYAAATTTTT
When cadia fell

no i mean the card game lol
Lel
Imperium maledictum the ttrpg started like a year ago
does it have cards?
No
Does the Imperium have credit/debit cards?
Probably not but I wonder if some planets have them for their local currency
I also wonder what gives the Thrones or whatever value exactly?
Ducats are apparently made out of gold
Terces, in Medusa, are silver
So is the Thrones value tied to the Gold Standard?

Like Thrones kinda need to be tied to something to give it inherit value since it's widely used throughout the Imperium.
You'd also need it for local currency transfers
if i might hazard a guess, their value comes from the exchange rates the Administratum gives
not exchange rates for other currency, but exchange rates for guns, ammo, and soldiers in classic 40k fashion
"Often goods, resources, and manpower are substituted as currency on a planetary level.[3e]"
this is all we have on it
Yeah honestly I would believe that tbh
Like I remember a fanfic where the Night Lords have set up a black market in their shit hole of a planet
Where the currency was literally Bolter shells
as the administratum has a de-facto monopoly on galactic resource allocation, they probably would be singlehandedly responsible for setting currency values
accidentally doubling as the imperium's central bank
I can definitely see it tied to weaponry. Like Lasguns
again, in classic 40k fashion
it would mostly be relevant for the planetary governments who need to get this gear for their regiments, and that would trickle down to the rest of society
Although Lasguns have different patterns so
What the fuck would it even be based off of

Like a Hell gun is better than your random ass Lasgun from Hive whatitsname
probably it goes like this:
- Standard Lasgun - X Moneys
- Elite Lasgun - 5X Moneys
and you need 1000 of the fuckers minimum for a regiment
so its just cheaper to order normal lasguns from the Administratum
the Administratum, in turn, probably buys said guns from Forge Worlds with the money they make selling them to various planets + tithes
"2500 thrones for a tank"
the rate they set is probably completely arbitrary and was defined like 9,000 years ago
meaning its pretty much impossible for the economy to grow
Although I thought about it being tied to the Gold Standard because
Just
Look at the Imperium palace
The Emperor probably would've done it because it would be funny
I wouldnt really say "buy" its just given in a tithe-like format for the entire feudalism angle.
a lot of imperial organisations are symbiotic/parasitic of each other
So basically
X amount of guardsmen
Y amount of grain
Blahblahblah-
Thats the lore explanation yea
every planet has a "tithe" of some kind.
theres just a few exceptions amongst like trillions
yeah there are commodity tithes
"currency" is always a local planetary thing
but its also very likely that the standardized currencies are part of that tithe
Yeah I'm thinking that due to Thrones being used as a general currency throughout games and even some books and lore
I'm just generally wondering what gives it actual value
Anything that serves the war effort usually is but money doesnt really help with it much compared to weapons/men
Tareldar suggested that it's probably tied to weaponry. Which makes sense lmao
it isn't, there are examples of interstellar currency in 40k
Universally no
Yeah but even that varies
^
Yeah I was thinking mainly about that
Like
What gives the sector stuff value?
Weapons?
We’ve never seen currency used at a segmentum or multi sector
The big planets in the sector
we still have the question of how a planetary government actually gets the weapons and armor they need to raise their armies
Forgeworlds, hive worlds
The Feds(Imperials) don't pay anyone, service is rewarded with different stuff
Like not being shot, and settling rights and shit
Ect.
especially since they make patterns that are almost never on world
Also I think 30k had a universal currency before it all turned into shit
Manufactured locally or exported
its pretty clear
Get it from the mechanicus or manufacture it
The Tithe feeds new regiments
^
You give stuff -> you get stuff
If your planet is tithed for grain a nearby manufactorum world is tithed for weapons
Although sometimes the regiment doesn't even exist
there's still money in feudalism lol
iirc some manufactoriums work just like company towns, they have their own currency that isnt accepted outside the manufactorium
then there's still the question as to what planets get what guns
as aforementioned, some guns are better than others
Like how Tertium is tithed for Tanks even as it's at war
It depend on their tithe grade
Yeah pretty much. Money is largely worthless
Your quality of stuff is dependent on your tithe grade
anything that feeds the war will be taken
From what we’ve seen
economic values are not important to them
Higher tithe grade planets get better stuff
The administratum specifies it, it's usually whatever is produced nearby
Or very far away depending on how weird you want to get lmao
So that's one of the reasons why Administratium employees are constantly one step away from killing themselves

Like a planet in Ultima could very feasibly get shipments from Solar just for paperwork reasons
It’s why you have shit like Krieg near exclusively using Lucius stuff
Seriously I can't imagine trying to keep track of a barter based economy on a galactic scale.
Without any sort of AI.
Yeah its pretty basic reasoning.
Mostly because nobody wants to write about planetary economics because it would get extremely befuddled as most of the writers dont wanna bother, so the feudalism angle keeps it at a "simple" level for exports/imports among other things.
Well it's not barter based
where exactly is it said that tithe grade also means resource allocation?
The feds tax you under threat of death and then distribute that from big administratum hubs
It’s in one of the core rule books that lists out all the tithe grades
One moment
I’ll try to see if I have it on hand
Yeah it was one of them
*that we know of
a lot of books also repeat it
i'm on the lexicanum page right now and i dont see any mention of
Yeah because thats the lexicanum
The Entire reason Arbites exist is to make sure the Tithe ships get their toll
they dont go into this niche amount of detail lol
they really dont
the entire point of the lexi is to be a summary
not painstaking details
Lexicanum sucks compared to the direct source
^
Also I don’t have the rulebook on hand
It's not that big a reach regardless of source
Which one was it
it makes mistakes, but omitting that part when otherwise it's a 1:1 copy over (as the lines usually are) seems highly unlikely
so id love to see the primary source
Considering the Grapevine nightmare the administratum is having exceptions and extra designations for niche circumstances is entirely on brand
Its still summary information
I think it’s either the dark heresy core rule book or the 6e 40k one
Aight lemme take a look
You are the one thats gonna go through these pages not me so (:
its not a big reach at all, but its still just an inference otherwise
Do you think there's a pleasure world that's tithed for bodies

That's technically the entire imperium smh
pleasure worlds are no doubt tithed for parties
even cardinals need rest
especially the cardinals

what i DID find was the Aestimare ranking (though its apparently uncited) which explicitly ranks a planet's importance; while that doesnt specifically say higher-ranked planets get more stuff than lower-ranked planets, it seems pretty obvious that it would in this barter model
the highest ranked places are research stations, ironically enough
i still think currency is probably the medium of exchange here, just regional, because that would be the only real way for the administratum to calculate the exact value of the resources being sent out and collected
Found the source for this it’s the 3rd edition core rule book
Lexicanum did cite correctly
for the aestimare?
For aestimare yes
here's another fun bit
"The Imperial Tithe ultimately is for the benefit of Terra, and makes it the site of both incredible wealth and extreme poverty. While Terra had a grand splendor and was heavily restored during the time of the Great Crusade, as of the 41st Millennium most of its structures have decayed.[37a]" (that's Vaults of Terra)
so i dont doubt materials utterly irrelevant to the war effort are siphoned during tithes as well and just given to Terran aristocrats
there is likely a lot of worlds who's soul purpose in the imperium is to send water to Terra
There’s a thing in vaults of terra where an interrogator realizes that a single grape on terra for a noble costs more money then she’s ever seen In her entire life lol
And it’s not even a good grape
The thing tasted terrible and was small
i bet in the 41st millennium, neptune has been completely drained
oh most surely
"ahhh the freshest of uranal water"
Terra is basically a black hole eatting the imperium from the inside
the adeptus custodes codex mentions it being mined for some weird material otherwise we dont really know
no wait it was its moon i think let me see
fucking dumbass solar system
neptune is fine, though its funny to think of terra slurping up water planets
Triton is the largest natural satellite of the planet Neptune. It is the only moon of Neptune massive enough to be rounded under its own gravity and hosts a thin, hazy atmosphere. Triton orbits Neptune in a retrograde orbit—revolving in the opposite direction to the parent planet's rotation—the only large moon in the Solar System to do so. Trito...

ngl its funny we named the planet after the god and the moon after the titan
We are pretty creative with names usually for the most part
not like greek myth isnt filled with ones to steal

its just the random symbolism you can find in it
A couple of years back, a Belgian team found a star with 7 exoplanets.
And in Belgium people wanted those 7 exoplanets to be named after Trappist Beers (6 Belgian ones) and something else I've forgotten
god lol
Instead we have Trappist-1 to Trappist-7 or some lame shit
ngl it makes more sense than naming them after dead gods and titans that havent been worshiped for centuries at least
well all the original ones got their common names during the renaissance when people were really into that stuff
so at least that part makes sense
fair
Wonder how the God of Laws would have been had they too been ported to 40k
at least biologists get to name their discoveries whatever they want
for some reason astronomy thinks they have to be classy
they'd corrupt adeptus arbites lol
i have no idea who this god is
but they worship the law like it's the emperor himself
Gods of Law
4+ Gods that initially fought the Chaos Gods and lost
The White Widow basically meant to be one
It's fantasy ones
Which reminds me, why tf is Uranus the only planet not named after the Roman version? Which would be Caelus
Alt head is better
That's literally the only written source I can find for Aestimare. It's only included on in-universe info screen when they introduce a world in some holo-screen shot.
I mean GW still rolls w/ it as a background thing. It's in most of the recent animations when they show a new planet
and SM2
Why is the order of the fiery heart mad at felix, they said he could keep it in skavenslayer
Very much so
Crazy that the adepticon models would be amazing for their armies if normally available
Current clawlord model is

can't contradict something that is only mentioned in writing once
🔥
it's just a word with number next to it really, not even a sentence or anything. Just inferrences based on context it is used
😭
like forge worlds are pretty high importance, Mars and Terra are A1
(I assume)
Whats the T'au method of FTL?
Small jumps through the warp since they don't have the astronomican/psykers
They think daemons are mean aliens
Ah so they're really inefficient with their travel
Considering they're still a young race it's not that bad
They've been expanding ||and getting wrecked||
Hopefully a less hostile Aldari Craftworld can vibe with The Greater Good and set then on the path to Webway travel
Absolutely not lol
The greater good would require a craftworld to be inferior to the tau
No eldar would ever let that happen
I never got the vibe that The Greater Good put the T'au race on a pedestal, aside from the Ethereals
All other races are second class citizens in the empire
Due to how tau society works
Ah
Most sympathetic primarch?
I know the Caste system
I gotta give it to Angron personally
After reading his whole story DAMN
Bro just wanted to be left alone
You can’t be part of the caste system unless you’re Tau
And that means you have almost 0 social mobility
As a non tau
But aside from the Ethereals all T'au castes are considered equal right?
Yeah i know
Not really?
There aren’t a lot of differences between the other castes in terms of standing?
Yes
I.E in matters of war a fire warrior’s opinion is going to take precedent
Over a water caste spies
This is what I meant yeah
The line between Fire Caste and others is much closer then Ethereals and everyone else
Yes
It’s like “haha I’m higher then you”
Vs
Racial slur
Best typo
💀
Konrad
For me I ONLY feel bad for Angron
And Magnus
He didn't see any other options to protect his Sons
Konrad needed some heavy fuckin therapy
Angron just wanted to be left fucking alone
Really highlighted the issue with
“We are your brothers/sons”
“BRO I DON’T KNOW YOU”
Even BESIDES the nails
Like Emperor just picked him up and said fuck you
AND didn’t help the mfs he was CLEARLY helping
Like
WHY
Angron before he got the nails
Afterwards he literally should have just killed himself or rebeled
Why would you NOT help the mfs who were fighting with your sons
At least get some good boy points with your son
Or something
WHAT DOES HE GAIN BY BEING AN ASSHOLE?!
I from what I understand most of the Castes are genetically adapted to their role, a T'au born into the Air Caste would be a pretty shitty warrior and therefore a weak link
Like pragmatically that makes NEGATIVE sense
“Damn how could my sons betray me?”
Mf WHAT REASON did they EVER have to like you?!
I’m sorry but even psychopaths know how to FAKE empathy
And know doing so benefits them
The Emperor doesn’t even do THAT
And I hate it
It makes no sense
And makes the Emperor seem majorly fucking stupid
Like you’re telling me he doesn’t know charisma??
Which
He DOES
But just like
NOT enough to work people?
He is HOW old?
And he doesn’t know how to effectively manipulate people
Subtly
?
Honestly I kind of like that in some way?
Like it definitely could be executed better. But I like him being like
Like bro
Ciaphus Cain knew how to inspire his subordinates better
The worst dad ever
Is it charisma, or is it the fact he's an 11 foot tall demigod that makes people listen go him
He is NOT a human being
One of his demigod powers is literally supernatural charisma.
It's also implied that whatever is says is what they want to hear.
He cannot relate to the people
Like it automatically translates into the best way you can hear it.
But not to his sons
So he is just super uneducated in Charisma in reality?
That
Fits better
Godly hubris
Despite claiming to be for mankind.
To be the saviour.
He damned them to a fate worse than death.
I am playing Rogue Trader recently and MAN I love just being the rational fucking human being in 40k
I don't see Big E as a human being, he's just as alien as a Xenos
Psychic being
Essentially
Hes clearly so much more
Big E is a tens-of-thousands year old warlord, he probably just forgot how to act human at some point
He really ISN’T human
Just like objectively
There is also a theory that is interesting.
That essentially his sons have a piece of his soul. Essentially they are aspects of himself.
Too much Psychic
And all that's left is the godly shell.
Decent theory
Angron COULD have really just killed himself though
That’s like
The one issue I have with his story
Dude
Just kill yourself
Big E also seems to not want to actually do anything
Canonically, he also reportedly cast off his hope and love.
But unfortunately that takes place JUST BEFORE THE FIGHT WITH HORUS.
Its all a job to him
The Imperium was essentially one large ass waiting line for the Webway he was building.
The latter has an active effect on people
Like they're basically all latent psykers
Like Isha serves life and is IRONICALLY serving life in Nurgle’s capture
Nurlge is a parasite that feeds off life
I always find that morbidly poetic
Or disease and entropy more like
Nurgle is life
...
Just the shitty parts of it.
Technically the parasite IS also life no?
No
The bacteria
If an 11 foot tall perfect form of a man with a literal golden aura told me to do something I'm gonna fuckin listen, psychic powers or not
They also both resemble love as well.
Specifically Isha genuinely loves her children.
The chaos gods aren't full embodiments of things, they're side effects of souls and feed off certain things as we understand
The crazy Psyker in Darktide has a line about how technically disease CAN be considered the most primordial and divine form of life by misguided souls
And wants them to be well.
Kinda yes
Nurgle is an abusive grandfather.
They are connected the the goings ons of reality
He literally gaslights and forces you to wallow in your misery
The psyker is coincidentally very crazy
But they ARE the closest thing to the concept manifested
But he has a point
Microbes ARE the most abundant life
Viruses
One of the main ways he corrupts you is literally infecting you with several diseases. Preventing you from dying.
In any case he isn't life itself
yes but an air caste could still be a strategist
He just feeds off it
and then forcing you to accept.
but air caste are considered "worthless" under the Tau'va when it comes to ground tactics
But it’s the closest thing in 40k to it
A horrible perversion of it yeah
And it’s ironic how the goddess of life is being tormented by the closest thing to life itself
they're to stay in their spheres
He's a reflection of the people that suffer from disease.
He is hopelessness and depression.
He is abuse.
Yes
The chaos gods are more conglomerates of suffering that have connections to things that happen in real space
Well, they do love their symbolism, so it's no shock he went out of his way to grab her
You wouldn't ask a Fire Warrior to do your taxes, you get a Water Caste Tau to do that
Anyways
Rogue Trader is a fucking banger
idk if a fire caste was good at taxes I'd let them do it
They're the math people
Damn
Anyone else play Rogue Trader yet?
finished it
I was close
few playthroughs
four times
Thoughts?

I really like it
Gameplay is fun, weaker narrative and scale compared to their previous Pathfinder games though
Yeah it’s not Baldur’s Gate
But it’s still very good
Rereading the gits rules, you can get away with skipping 1 of the 4 clans, so if you don’t like wolves or don’t need squigs you can skip them
Each phase affects 2 of the clans
But my point stands, when you have people who are genetically adapted to a certain role, you would want them to stick to that role, you drive a nail with a hammer, not a saw
well
No
because they have actual useful info they can share
but they're never allowed to 99% of the time lol
A fire caste warrior's report on air movement may be disregarded by a earth caste data analyst as its outside of his sphere lol
I can't see most T'au deviating from their Caste because they would suck at anything else
Ahh
is my point
its a huge point in the new Tau book
where a bunch of pathfinders are stuck in the worst counter insurgancy situation possible
and their reports are ignored as they're "outside of their sphere"
reporting on subterfuge and such and the incredibly valuable info they have is completely disregarded
and they're left to fend for themselves
and die in veitnam a jungle
Gonna be honest I'm not sure if I like that, I've heard people say they like the T'au as the nieve underdogs in a brutal universe, but that just makes them look stupid if it's something very new
I could be wrong tho
That’s not a new thing
It’s part of tau culture
It’s a horrific flaw with the greater good
I meant like something new GW added
Beyond all the other horrid things the greater good is
I mean it’s not new
This has been lore since 4e
Or 3e
That acting outside of your sphere is considered bad/shameful/should be ignored
I mean being a Gue'vesa is still probably leagues better than being a regular Imperium citizen
I mean yeah
I’m not using that as a point though
No shit it’s prolly better to live under the Tau then be worked to death in a manufacotrum
Even if you’re going to get culturally genocided
And aren't they making Farsight kinda a dick too now? Or am I completely criss crossed
No, they made him less of a dick in 5e
He used to be a massive tau supremacist lol
Okay gotcha
I've been hearing that GW has been trying to make the T'au more and more evil
They haven’t
Tau have always been this evil
Lol
People who say otherwise didn’t read their 3e codex
Which literally talks about re-education camps
Work will set you free
I mean, to be fair, you can't really afford freeloaders in the 40k setting
Unfortunately
Ironically enough, the Etheral mind control kinda absolves them a little in a weird way?
You can say the T'au weren't fully in the right minds when they were building shit like re-education camps.
You know I’m saying they’re running literal death camps right
Like the Nazi ones

Except with political dissidents
I felt like the implication was there
The crossed out "work will set you free" is from auschwitz
With the whole “work will set you free” thing
Oh
Auschwitz was also labeled as a re-education and work camp
With wonderful ""showers""
Either that or they’re used in earth caste experimentation

Just like any 9-5 office job
Although they probably use actual regular targets since they need workers more
There's still a chance you'll get sent to a Death camp
But one has less of a chance
and also actual food
Anyways did you know a bonding blade is in fact not a great melee weapon
so
For fighting a Genestealer
Those fire warriors who read farsights tactics book certinaly found that out
Before they got “kisses”
Like if you had to be anywhere in the 40k universe you would still probably want to be a Gue'vesa
Ceremonial weapons aren't the best at killing
who knew

I think I’d rather blow my fucking brains out
Or a Craftworld Eldar
Actually being serious btw. Minus the whole "Soul gets into eternal suffering after death"
Life is actually pretty chill in a craftworld
Also yeah living as a craftworlder is great
Unless you die without a soul stone or it’s broken
Or get kidnapped by drukhari

If I get born as a human though I'd rather shoot myself
In which that case it’s about to be a horrible time
Well if we don't have to still be humans the Orks are the only ones who are having a good time
To be fair
The kidnapped by Drukhari applies to all races
Including the Drukhari

Craftworld Eldar are especially valuable torture toys
Since most of them have pretty much never suffered
In any meaningful way
Obligatory t'au getting bullied
"Gentlemen, synchronize your death watches"
And also they give a lot of emotional response
And their souls are big
Also if you ever get bored you can mutilate their soul stone and soul and turn it into a weapon

The possibilities are endless!
Yeah in that case, then that would be bad
But still better than being a human, t'au, or even a drukhari
In general, not when you get captured by the deldar

Pregnant dreadnought
If the T'au ever got rid of their AI i bet Gulliman would be open to working with them, seeing as how he's already reached out to that one Eldar who's name i forgot
Despite what the shippers say, he's barely tolerating them himself
Guilliman literally says he’s going to kill yvraine once their alliance is over
To yvraines face lol
In 40k standards though, that might as well be kissing

I think people are forgetting Guilliman is still like
A mega omnicidal xenophobic demigod
A conquerer who murdered billions
He’s killed trillions most likely
Lol
Billions is like a single planet
Getting genocided
Which happened a lot
Just one who isn't like
Completely insane or a complete asshole
People have no clue about any of the lore besides the facebook groups memes
Or went to get the milk
Guilliman had a high compliance rate
He did a lot of killing
And talking
The whole “compliant or ash” motto
Is a great crusade thing lol
Either they’d surrender and join
He is a conquerer at the end of the day
Or the imperium would slaughter them
The early blood angels had a no quarter policy
But hey, better than somebody like fucking Angron
Even if a world surrendered they would kill and enslave literally everyone
The world eaters still accepted surrenders
Tbf
Although I doubt they were cognizant enough to recognize them
Tbf
At least 50% of the time
That’s what the officers in orbit are for
People always vastly overestimate Guillimans like
Love for xenos
He still hates them
He just hates Craftworld Eldar the least because they revived him and hate chaos
He just doesn't let it get in the way.
If that makes any sense.
Gulliman is smart enough and reasonable enough to understand there are bigger problems
He still wants to murder their entire family, but he can definitely put it off if a Daemon rift suddenly opens.
He wouldn’t ally with the Tau
Is my point
He’d just not fight them
Yeah I get it now
They’re a problem to kill later
He's got a massive warp rift to fix now

Still better than that one moment where the Eldar were like
Like if some Nids show up in a battle he would tell the T'au that they have a bigger problem and can kill each other later
"Can we stop killing each other for one second so that I can do something that could potentially disable slaanesh for life?"
"No."
xenocide
Yes
I wonder how some loyalist primarchs would respond
Like
Lion for example
Kill them all probably
Probably, maybe with exterminatus
I don’t understand though
Are even the Primarchs THAT brainwashed against all Xeno life?
Like I find it hard to believe Guilliman would want to murder EVERY single T’au he sees
I know the Emperor wasn’t exactly a peaceful dude but
If Guilliman just wants to kill every single T’au he sees how are he and Angron different?
Would Guilliman spare the citizens?
It’s imperial policy to kill all xenos
And guilliman doesn’t like xenos either
The galaxy belongs to humanity, everyone else is to be killed in due time. I vaguely recall the Tau being slated for extermination in their stoneage before warp storms prevented access to them
Not even a vague threat to the Imperium and they'd still have been killed if possible
the difference is that guilliman doesn't exterminate humans
but they are all monstrous to xenos
even vulkan believes in mass-murdering xenos children
Well he does
He just doesn’t do it like
As much as Angron did
Yeah
but even vulkan goes out of his way to annihilate as many defenceless xenos children as he can
Is this a joke
this goosebumps show has awful acting
its only slightly hyperbolic
the real instance is him using a flamethrower to burn eldar children to death in a book
cato sicarius also shoots a tau woman civilian in the face
did you guys see the new goosebumps show
i can't wait for them to remake are you afraid of the dark and mess up the vibes
Jesus that show existed didn’t it
Wow
can i even rewatch that shit these days? im pretty sure that show is why im so paranoid these days
it's the canadian goosebumps and honestly i feel like it's 1000% better
damn it got 10 seasons that's crazy
i only remember like 4 episodes
did any of you see the taxi driver guy episode
i think jontron made a video about it
Wow so that whole “wow you guys are religious zealots, how insane!”
Is pretty fucking ironic considering he is pro genocide?
Tbf he was pro genocide of all religous people
he obviously can't do that now
I suddenly hate Guilliman now
but he was busy rounding up and massacring people before he got shanked
tbf all the primarchs except Lorgar
were running Religon extermination campaigns
Lorger was converting people to the Emperor's faith
The thing is total eradication of a religion is extremely hard
“Oh wow this Guilliman guy seems super reasonable!”
“Oh wow 12 Eldar infants I wonder what Guilliman will d-”
so usually they just killed everyone to make sure it was stamped out
actually that would imply the Imperium even imprisoned people on non compliant planets
they just fucking killed everyone
“Imagine killing people due to religious beliefs, cringe”
“OH BOY MORE INFANTS TO MURDER!”
Yeah getting through the meme lense is realizing even the good imperials are still brutal, awful, genocidal space nazis
The primarchs were warcrime machines, each one of them. It's great
But like how can you be THAT delusional?
Anyway guessing you haven’t read but the scene is rather different. Not that I’m not in favor of all space marines’ being monsters
The imperium at its "golden age" during the great crusade wasn't ANY better than it is now
But it’s in extremis and he ptsd regrets it forever
Delusional about what
I'm sure it'll unkill the countless billions he butchered in their galactic extermination crusade!
Killing over religion bad
Killing infants because different race good!
Like HELLO?!
They're not humans, it's like squashing bugs it's fine
I’m sorry but you can’t write a character as super logical and sane
And then put “oh but yeah he kills alien babies”
The Imperial Truth(that the fandom praises a lot) promotes the destruction of all religions to an ironically religious degree
it was marginally better
I mean Guillima isn't sane
like explictly tbh
Yes
Aren't human, for one
R u
Yeah also remember even Guilliman says himself a genocidal warlord
Sounds kinda human tbh
and very much says as much to his rogue trader galpal
The rogue trader in question:
Dude wtf
To be fair
Nah it's gucci
He says it in the context of why isnt she afraid of him
Yeah she is part of probably the single most privileged group in the entire imperium
It’s cute that transhumans keep little pet Homo sapiens for quaint conversation
^
So what Guilliman is genocidal because his dad told him to be?
Wow
Maybe tied with though probably exceeding navigators since they outright just have a right to their own private empires
Real free thinker
how do you think fascists come to be in general
Well in the case of primarchs transdimensional eldritch half-daemon transhumans
And that’s the loyalists
Is there a SINGLE sane Primarch?!
Yeah, Kurze
Corax probably
He had the sense to off himself
Based
Based lmao
he literally opposes tyrants yet works for the Imperium because "ends justify the means"
But he does have that yeah
The raven guard would have been declared traitor
for some of the shit they've pulled if they weren't first founding lol
they like to murder planetary govenors

Raven Guard "realistically" would have gone renegade if they werent a pre-established tabletop legion
but also yeah lmao
Like your telling me NO one questions
“Hey guys why are we burning infants alive?”
Even Sanguinius who was so cool and human would rock up to human non Imperial planets, demand surrendering or he would have every single person on the planet killed. Imagine the lengths he would go to kill aliens
it’s true kurze literally was so fucking sad all the time because his “gift” was a reader’s-eye view of the setting
sorry I mean
Lmao
its a special military operation
I HATE
how much people dickride sanguinius in the fandom
"oh he was the best of us"
Sanguinius literally laughed
when he killed a bunch of people
who asked the imperium to
"please leave us alone"

I love him, my favourite war criminal
Ok but weren’t some of these Primarchs raised by good parents?
All the fans walkin around w those curly golden pubes on their shirts
Guilliman
Or did they just have genocide in their genes
Konor was genocidal
Good parents dont matter, you are told to conquer the galaxy and will do it.
in like the traditional like
Roman sense
everyone else is inferior and should be like brought into the fold
did sanguinius drink blood
Their souls are like… not fully human
did he have any vampire like qualities
Holy SHIT Angron was right
yeah Luther was a PERFECT father/brother
They’re fabricated gods
Some aliens fucked over humanity during the long night, kill them all son
Not unlike the eldar gods
Angron would have actually been the only good person without the nails
why are blood angels so vampire if sang wasn't a vamp
What the FUCK
its germany's Manifest Destiny essentially yeah
Fulgrim had nice parents
Yeah but Fulgrim is a bitch
Don't forget, no quarter given to anyone that doesn't want to "rejoin"
he tried to "preserve" culture
you know
after he finishes genociding them

what a gentleman
Que sangy going to a planet and "okay, send them an offer and if they refuse blow up the planet"
Based
