Lilith isn’t super hedonistic

#

Ironically

forest orbit
#

yeah shes just a thrillseeker

arctic talon
#

She just really likes killing people

#

And adrenaline

forest orbit
#

KEK that

opaque coyote
#

Yeah tbh I think a lot of the lower ranked Drukhari.

Like the slaves and shit. Probably would stop being Drukhari if they had the chance

arctic talon
#

She’s a straight razor

opaque coyote
#

They don't

arctic talon
#

She doesn’t take drugs

forest orbit
#

its like asking a criminal to stop doing what they do

#

they dont wanna

arctic talon
#

She doesn’t drink in her new book

#

Either

#

She’s boring and lame/hj

#

Aside from when she’s in the arena

forest orbit
#

Also that brothel segment

arctic talon
#

Oh true

#

LOL

#

I forgor

forest orbit
#

LOL

#

Shes plenty of fun

opaque coyote
forest orbit
#

yeah shes against drugs

#

dulls her senses

opaque coyote
#

Still would be funny to imagine an ex-Drukhari trying to be

"Normal"

arctic talon
#

Ethereals when they catch 2 Tau dating who aren’t approved for reproduction

forest orbit
#

LMAO

opaque coyote
#

"Hello fellow Eldar."

#

"I like doing things like talking and NOT torturing people!"

arctic talon
#

Bro should just go join an aspect shrine

#

💀

forest orbit
arctic talon
#

Yeah that

#

Soulstones don’t like drukhari

forest orbit
#

^

arctic talon
#

Yvraines literally turned to dust

#

The visarchs never did

#

So I guess the Incubi lifestyle isn’t evil enough

barren prawn
#

do they ever explain why the drukhari just refuse to use most of the eldari tech?

queen laurel
#

i forgot

barren prawn
#

like soul stones weapons etc

arctic talon
#

Drukhari are not psykers so they can’t use a lot of the good stuff

forest orbit
#

they are stunted to use it

barren prawn
#

staregryn but arent all eldari psykers?

arctic talon
#

No

dapper gyro
#

Because they give up their psychic power.

opaque coyote
barren prawn
#

damn

forest orbit
arctic talon
#

The drukhari have pretty much lost their psychic powers entirely

barren prawn
#

ohhh

#

wait

arctic talon
#

It’s atrophied

forest orbit
#

its the quilavent of you knowing how to carve wood but not using it for literal years

arctic talon
#

Both biologically and like

forest orbit
#

then you'd just forget

arctic talon
#

Culturally

barren prawn
#

they just refuse to use it

queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

Giving it up kind of delay the corruption as well.

arctic talon
#

Yeah slaanesh doesn’t pay as much attention

#

Your soul is less glowy

forest orbit
# barren prawn they just refuse to use it

The veil between the Warp and the Webway is thin, and as they dont police their psyker abilities unlike Craftworld as well its too volatile for someone to fuck up and let daemons into Commorragh

arctic talon
#

Just as tasty though

crisp heath
#

Eldar turn into drukhari If they indulge slaneesh don't they?

opaque coyote
forest orbit
#

They just grow more psychotic really

#

dark eldar are more a "lifestyle" than a condition

arctic talon
#

Drukhari hate slaanesh

crisp heath
#

Eldar confuse me tbh

arctic talon
#

How so

forest orbit
#

They arent that confusing

opaque coyote
forest orbit
#

you just need to read their lore tbh

arctic talon
#

It’s just refilling your soul

crisp heath
#

I never read the lore tbh

forest orbit
#

lmao

#

DUDE

arctic talon
#

Because that’s a biological component of eldar I guess?

#

They can feed on strong emotions

dapper gyro
arctic talon
#

Like some fucked up bampire

crisp heath
#

I'm into chaos imperium and orks

queen laurel
forest orbit
#

well then you cant really say they are confusing if you know nothing about them KEKW_ogryn

queen laurel
forest orbit
crisp heath
#

If they beileve something it happens

forest orbit
#

NOOOO

arctic talon
forest orbit
#

HE FAILED THE TEST

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

So kinda 🤷‍♂️

opaque coyote
forest orbit
#

Chat kill him

dapper gyro
#

Oh the bully...

queen laurel
#

it won't turn a log into a gun

#

but it will allow them to fire a broken gun a few more times before it becomes unfirable

opaque coyote
#

It basically just skips a couple of steps rather than skipping the entire thing.

Shootas can still be shot in the hands of a humie.

It'll just be extremely dangerous

#

And also probably explode

queen laurel
#

yeah it's just a poorly built gun

#

that's why they have actual doctors and actual mechanics for building stuff and healing people

crisp heath
#

If There stuff doesn't work in the hands of another race then it kinda is warping reality 🤷‍♂️

opaque coyote
#

The Ork Gestalt effect makes it become more like a regular gun.

Although occasionally even that doesn't help since Ork Tech still randomly explodes.

dapper gyro
#

They can't generate ammo out of thin air, unlike out rejected Veteran.

forest orbit
#

it more just is rickety as fuck

crisp heath
#

Like they paint things red and they suddenly go faster so 🤷‍♂️

#

Idk why all the hate hahaha

queen laurel
#

just fill in the missing parts and make it stable and you have a ork weapon

crisp heath
#

Or paint things purple and they go invisible

opaque coyote
#

Psykers can do similar things

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

It's just that Orks kinda just have a ritual behind it

crisp heath
#

They used to be the most advanced

queen laurel
#

damn you are on stage 3 ork misinformation

forest orbit
#

Yeah dont believe the memes about orks

#

they dont quite literally warp reality

dapper gyro
#

Don't believe any meme.

#

Example, lasgun is flashlight.

crisp heath
#

Also I said I liked there lore I never claimed to know everything 😆

dapper gyro
#

Or 50 Space Marines can over take current earth.

forest orbit
#

Lmao ye

forest orbit
queen laurel
#

make sure that you at least do research

#

because we have already heard this stuff too many times

opaque coyote
queen laurel
#

misinformation in warhammer lore is quite bad

queen laurel
crisp heath
queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

To be precise, Bulgur is saying that you are even below that.

opaque coyote
#

Also Orks canonically have their own language.

But like everything else it's wonderfully translated into English for our benefit.

So they just sound like the average British person

crisp heath
#

Or you could also say it's very hard to get into because there's years worth and you also have people that flame you and gatekeep 😆

queen laurel
dapper gyro
queen laurel
#

may as well help them out on the actual real thing

forest orbit
#

^

queen laurel
#

there are still people out there that genuinely believe that the alpha legion is both loyalist and chaos

forest orbit
#

Once you get the basics it really isnt too hard to get ahold of stuff

arctic talon
#

Core rule book is the best tbh

#

For a baseline

#

Rulebook lore in general is good

#

8e codexes

#

My beloved

dapper gyro
#

I recommend the 8th edition core book.

#

Damn, same thought.

queen laurel

humble shoal
#

Im alpharius

raven stone
#

Can't really use that as an example?

#

(Although yes, for the average run of the milk beginner it's good enough to know the legion went a 9/9 split on loyalist and traitor)

humble shoal
#

Tyberos is 600 feet tall and also my oc do not steal

queen laurel
humble shoal
#

I mean the grey knights are just loyalist thousand sons

raven stone
humble shoal
#

Anyway even if the Sigma Legion were loyal, in theory they would be loyal to the imperial truth and not the imperium.

storm jungle
#

just the classic "AL are loyalists" copium people largely do for trolling

barren prawn
#

🚬 i mislike the alpha legion

#

throwing a random "I AM ALPHARIOUS" in the end of a story is such a cop out to having it effect the main plot

shadow plover
#

that's not really an issue with them, it's just like the Salamanders keep saying that Vulcan is alive

#

it's just something they say

barren prawn
#

😠

#

i mean not saying it as a battle cry

#

like saying it as a reveal

#

"I am not X i am alpharious"

#

im taking this ship!!!!

shadow plover
#

they all say that, it's never a 'reveal'

#

if you know alpha legion is there, there will be legionaries saying that

barren prawn
#

why are u so dense today 😭

#

im saying if theyre during an infiltration

#

they ruined a perfectly good ||raven guard story|| that way for me

#

towards they end they pulled the "reveal"

shadow plover
#

would you like it more if they'd say "I am alpha legion"

barren prawn
#

i dont like green eggs and ham

#

What I really want to know is why Deathrow is working with Eisenhorn

#

He's a heretic by any Imperial standards but a loyalist by any rational one. Ride or die for the Throne.

raven stone
#

Individual Marines could be afflicted with regret under appropriate circumstances

#

And given a lone Alpha Legionnaire the possibility increases tenfold.

#

Or he could still be a Traitor, just pulling Eisenhorn's strings

spare osprey
#

Hehehehe

shadow plover
#

Not funny! Balls are serious business

barren prawn

🤔 what if the big reveal at the end is that morrow is a preptual

#

a lore question: why are melee more effective against demons?

celest dome
#

Symbology

sharp pollen
#

and force swords being stronger with psychic power i think

celest dome
#

Swords and other 'ancient' weapons came from a time where religion/faith was more prevalent, and thus it is more able to deal with 'Faith' based stuff

#

Guns and other post industrial stuff lack that link

sharp pollen
#

and demons really hate when something "faithful" starts ballin

#

but still some hand-crafted bullets and pellets can do harm

queen laurel
sharp pollen
#

even basic small prayers can do stuff

queen laurel
#

yeah Faith is quite funky

humble shoal
#

For the cullexes

#

That causes true death

#

For demons

sharp pollen
#

its funny how Emprah never wanted religion to be a thing, yet with his mind (i guess) makes all these prayers and symbols work on demons

static kettle
#

So that's why hammer is more effective against demons

sharp pollen

Giant man covered in gold who glows in the dark comes and says do not be afraid, and then is surprised when people think they are a god

winter vessel
barren prawn
#

erm i know looking at me burns your eyes and i can teleport fucking dragons but im technically not a god 🤓

winter vessel
#

Ik I just healed the wounds of who was going to become the last priest of the last church, but I am most definitely not a divine being

barren prawn
#

my theory is that the emperor knew he was becoming a god and hated it tbh

#

like you hear accounts of how oll and john spoke of him and others who knew him before and they dont seem that awe struck

sharp pollen
#

all his mistakes make me think he's an actual man, but really powerful

#

not some alien

barren prawn
#

but then later on it goes to people seeing a thousand faces when they look at him

#

like even before the god emperor stuff and even before siege of terra he was slowly becoming a god

humble shoal
#

Would be funny if in end times he gets off of the throne

#

Amd just revives

sharp pollen

barren prawn
#

lorgar was spreading worship of the emperor long before he got yelled at

winter vessel
#

Interesting enough, Ollanius practiced the “Catheric” religion, which is like a distant (implied) connection with Roman Catholicism

barren prawn

#

Emperor projects a different image with his psyker abilities iirc

#

So some people see different things and blanks can see him normally

barren prawn
#

the emperor ||split a part of himself before the fight with horus|| so essentially the emperor on the golden throne ||is his analytical side and the part in the warp feeding on the worship is his human loving side||

Might have misread speculation so fact check me

youd have to get a lot of blanks to cover him up and maybe not even then

end times might be like the throne emperor trying to reunite with his warp self

i hope emperor put his shit together after i get some cool ogryn novels

opaque coyote
#

But fuck it, it's funny

#

Some guy was a cashier on Toys R Us and a kid put Barbies on the counter along with some other male adjacent toys

#

The cashier off handedly mentioned that the toys seem a little too girly for him

#

And the kid said "My soldiers need some hoes"

#

And so I wonder if I ever get guardsmen, that I should also just buy a Barbie or something

#

And put it next to them

Considering what my sister did with barbies thats tame....

its crazy that horus galaxy and alt right warhammer communities think that lbgtq community is causing rising prices

#

i was looking up stuff anf theres a bunch of reddit and twitter posts being like 'GW needs to pick between DEI and the raising prices...'

shadow plover
#

they are not the brightest bunch

arctic talon
#

The rising prices are literally just because of inflation

#

GW price increases are surprisingly lower then the inflation rate

#

Which is still ASS BECAUSE MY PAYCHECK HASN’T GOTTEN BIGGER

#

But whatever

dapper gyro
arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

GW sculpts are also just better though

#

Like I like battle tech but their mini quality is way lower lol

Same with infinity

arctic talon

But their quality are way lower than the 1/35 and 1/32 military miniatures while still more expensive.

1/35 is military collector size.

@arctic talon how do tau fire cast warriors address their officers

arctic talon
#

or their "title" if they have one

#

I.E Farsight rather then being refered to as Shas'o or commander

#

could be called Farsight

#

They're usually just refered to with the rank

#

Or just Ui, vre, El, O

#

ect

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

Ui also isn't necissarily an officer rank is the funny thing

#

Since its the "veteran" rank

#

so you could have an entire squad of Shas'ui

anyways the baneblade

gets blown up in the book by a tau kamakazing it with a Barracuda

So the Psykhanium was purely a darktide thing huh staregryn I thought it may have had deep routes in warhammer lore

sly ivy

It does now

young pecan
#

I don't doubt that a psyker as (seemingly) powerful as Sefoni could actually make you hallucinate training procedures in actual lore

Two decades from now the surviving humans will be akshullying each other about the details of psykhanium construction

Stupid “work”

young pecan
#

I'm still kinda early in Eisenhorn and saw a part where somehow without using the will he just made two guards "get anxious" and walk away muttering

#

That felt like a "the writer needed it to work so it did" moment

#

And he's not even particularly powerful to scale I think

storm jungle
young pecan
#

LMAO

storm jungle
#

psykers with appropriate grades/levels can kinda do anything the writer wants

#

like we got some LITERALLY STOPPING TIME

young pecan
#

It's funny to just take at face value and not think too hard about

storm jungle
#

yeah pretty much

young pecan
#

Which is actually very appropriate for the average 40k fan

storm jungle
#

because like even when GW lists abilities psykers can do extensively an author just goes

#

"Okay so he blows up his past-self with his mind ensuring the person hes fighting is never born"

and im like "neat"

Okay so he blows his past-self

My people Voxcast episode 9 with Dan Abnett is so good

#
  1. He’s super smart and also super nice
#
  1. So much good info and so many good observations
#

Also do you guys know how the Eisenhorn books happened, really?

#

I always thought GW commissioned them to accompany Inquisitor

#

But actually Dan got so excited about the sourcebook he asked to write an inquisitor novel

#

And they told him ok but hurry it up so we can release it with the game and make it look like it was all planned lmao

green loom
#

That's on brand for Dan

#

And they definitely allowed that for him since he's easily the highest profile writer they have or probably will have

sly ivy
#

He wasn’t then!!

#

He was kind of new

#

He comes across as just so lovely

#

And he is so well spoken

#

Look at me letting the mask slip and being wholesome

Anyway back to annoying everyone and talking about genitals

green loom

#

eisenhorn using his abilties is weirdly worded a few times

also his weird monologues about how good his katana skills are

i mean carthaen swordsmanship

sly ivy

ur weirdly worded

He likes talking about himself

#

For sure

green loom

He at the time was already a pretty well known comic book guy

I mean he was new-ish at GW.

His first BL book was First and Only in 1999

Eisenhorn was released 2001

Do they have a history

But anyway yeah Ogryn intelligence lore is like

#

extremely badly outdated and kinda whatever at this point

late osprey
#

yeah theres no retcons other than darktide

storm jungle
#

Darktide didnt retcon anything

#

its an officially GW approved product

late osprey
#

so the old lore still stands?

sacred ginkgo
#

No

storm jungle
#

No lol

late osprey
#

that's what a retcon is

sacred ginkgo
#

Darktide expanded on it, not retcon

storm jungle
#

^

late osprey
#

anyway

sacred ginkgo
#

Its not directly going against it

#

Its giving depth

late osprey
#

the 91 source was specifically that imperium favored ogryns for already being stupid

storm jungle
late osprey
#

as opposed to what you said that the imperium makes them stupid via uneducation

storm jungle
#

people for some reason just always wanna believe an entire sub-species of humans spanning the galaxy somehow all hate cramped spaces

which so far just doesn't seem to be true

and can never "learn"

But it’s not like she was like

i dont think cassia is the best example, psykers already break the limitations of their species, and they always have their psyker abilities -- its just a question of when they awaken

rather, psychic potential

Yeah that.

arctic talon
#

They weren’t that dumb is my point

#

After they were a Psyker they got smarter

#

Psychic awakening is weird

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

It might relate to it but I like to think it doesn’t

storm jungle
#

unlike uhhh Brawler, thats kind of it

#

but it checks out since hes suppose to be what a "Default" ogryn is

outer wave
#

Brawler does have an excuse tbf

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much lol

outer wave
#

His brain is literally being fried so like okay that checks out

late osprey
#

the example i can think of is heinrix in RT

storm jungle
#

people also hype the intelligence of darktide ogryns WAY too much

#

they do about as many arguably smart *and *dumb stuff

#

the amount of people that declare it non-canon is pretty funny tho

arctic talon
late osprey
#

they seem about what id imagine nork deddog or one with a bone'ead

arctic talon
#

Since people who were explicitly non psykers

#

Became psykers

storm jungle
#

Only one of them is a bonehead

#

so no

tough haven
arctic talon
#

No like

late osprey
#

i said OR one with a bone'ead

arctic talon
#

They’re saying they imagine that’s the intelligence level they’re at

#

Like

storm jungle
#

i used to kinda hate Brawler but warmed up to him

late osprey
#

nork deddogg was described as being capable to doing the basic functions we see in DT before he got the implant

storm jungle
#

im a Bodyguard main tho so im very biased KEKW_ogryn

tough haven
#

I need more darktide tier ogryn content

storm jungle
#

Same

tough haven
outer wave
#

I used to be a Brawler Bro but I moved onto Bully as my OTP

storm jungle
#

Bully is peak

outer wave
#

My Ogryn Oshi

tough haven
#

Bodyguard is my second fave

storm jungle
#

i still cant believe his VA voiced Horus in the 30k trailer

#

also Loner lol

outer wave
#

His range is good!

tough haven
#

Seer is my favorite

storm jungle
#

amazing yeah

outer wave
#

Its mad good!

tough haven
#

over all

storm jungle
outer wave
#

Anyway Im one of those fellas that champion Ogryn intelliegence and truly believe that they're all secretly plotting to usurp the Imperium together as a unit

storm jungle
#

Bro read too much Necromunda

outer wave
#

Has never touched a Necromunda lore book

#

😔

storm jungle
#

That we know of

arctic talon
#

Necromunda Ogryn Slave gang

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

my beloved

storm jungle
outer wave
#

I would love to read more about the Slave Ogryns though!

storm jungle
#

well there you go then

outer wave
#

Oh fuck, really?

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

House of Chains is also nice

outer wave
#

They have a whole ass book for Ogryns, by Ogryns?

arctic talon
#

just ignore all the Goliath stuff

#

because Goliaths are lame not that bad

outer wave
#

Oh shit thats awesome

storm jungle
#

House Poopliath is here but its ignorable

outer wave
#

Is House Goliath that bad? Like I know they're basically a weird middle man between human and space marine and they're not even that poor man's space marine that are employed in Imperial Guard regiments

arctic talon
#

House Goliath are like

#

fine

#

I just don't find them interesting at all

#

playstyle or lore wise

#

also I think a lot of their weapons look ugly

outer wave
#

Thats pretty fair

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Yeah like

#

theres a reason in most recent Necromunda story events they are used like how writers use nids or orks.

#

Aka just fodder to die since they're basic af and are not that interesting.

#

The other Houses are SO much better.

tough haven
#

Are there people who are like "I LOVE GOLIATH!!!"

tough haven
#

nids are uh, kinda written into a box

storm jungle
#

You get what I mean lol

storm jungle
tough haven
#

I appreciate what they are and the vibe they sell, they sell it really well

#

but like theres not much I can do with them

#

and maybe thats the appeal?

#

you always get what you expect

storm jungle
#

Pretty much. They are what they are, not much else to comment otherwise.

tough haven
#

hold on I gotta draw a battlemap for another campaign i'm working on

#

Except I only have ms paint and suck ass

#

BEHOLD!

arctic talon
#

also yeah Goliath imo is like

tough haven
#

I cant write on paint lol

arctic talon
#

kind of obnoxious to kitbash

#

Like

sly ivy
arctic talon
late osprey
arctic talon
#

I have very little intrest in trying to kitbash them

late osprey
#

or gimp is actually better strictly speaking but the hotkeys were designed by martians

tough haven
#

Idk if I want to do them again

late osprey
#

gimp has a lot of the photoshop tools that paint.net doesnt

#

you can import mspaint works into another program

tough haven
#

this what you mean?

late osprey
#

NO

#

lmao sorry

#

its not literally paint.net, look it up in google

#

i dont know why they named it like that

tough haven
#

Figured it wasnt correct

late osprey
#

here you go

tough haven
#

Yeah I found it, thanks

spare osprey
#

can a dreadnought be a chaos lord? or would they be too insane

late osprey
#

iirc there is at least one case of a dreadnought being a chaos lord

storm jungle
#

"idk his magic mojo warp is too strong"

spare osprey
#

he's a word bearer so i'll just say he prays eight times a day

storm jungle
#

Yeah that makes it even better on the magic excuse department lol

#

like we got chaos lords who are literally attached to their fucking flagships/control them

#

a dreadnaught is like so many tiers below that in being pretty possible

spare osprey
#

awesome awesome

#

had the idea since i was reading this chaos anthology

late osprey
#

considering the insanity iirc is inflicted by the rest of the warband and because of how shitty the vessel itself is

#

i would say apart from space magic, it also has to do with the warband deliberately WANTS to keep him sane

#

as there are cases of sane chaos dreadnoughts

dusk patrol
late osprey
storm jungle
#

like

late osprey
#

i could see like

storm jungle
#

Exorcists are such a dumb idea for a Chapter on paper as one random example

#

but since its canon people just look at it and go"yeah thats cool"

#

so it works lol

late osprey
#

a chaos lord going down, and his most loyal screamers made sure that he was put into an actually decent dreadnought chassis

#

and then his own power forces people to keep him maintained

spare osprey
#

head in a spider dread thingy

storm jungle
#

Yeah see what I mean lol

spare osprey
#

ALRIGHT

storm jungle
#

again golden rule

#

Explain it well

spare osprey
#

now i just gotta write out my alpha legion led white scars

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

I think one of the funniest examples i remember having once was uh some dude saying chaos cannot use the webway properly or at all.

#

The genefather came out like a week later and it had the darkmech in it manipulating the energies of webway gates to quick-travel

late osprey
#

my friend's first army homebrew had them led by a Gal Vorbak survivor

spare osprey
#

spies in the community

#

swear

late osprey
#

which i thought was badass

spare osprey
#

i wonder what happened to the Luperci

#

hmmmmmmmm

late osprey
#

"Unaware that the entire plan had been foreseen by Rogal Dorn, Tormageddon was ambushed by a squad led by Garviel Loken. Loken was barely able to handle Tormageddon's superhuman strength but eventually was able to kill the creature. This time, the infernal power that powered Tormageddon had either extinguished or fled back to the Warp.[9]"

guess it depends on if tormageddon was with his luperci or not here

#

if he was then they probably got devastated, if not they could still be around and kicking, but probably as warband leaders themselves

#

getting beaten up by abaddon and press-ganged into the black legion if he ever found any of them

spare osprey
#

if they're still around

#

i got a warband who would love to be led

late osprey
#

like having a gal vorbak chaos lord, having a luperci chaos lord would be metal as fuck too

#

and theres even more room for a luperci one

plush mason
#

are the gal vorbak the daemon/marine hybrids?

late osprey
#

yeah they were the OG possessed

#

technically by lore sticklers they were all exterminated by custodians

spare osprey
#

relish hoarders

late osprey
#

but who cares

#

space marines are notoriously hard to kill anyway

plush mason
late osprey
#

i could easily see a case where a gal vorbak goes down in the fighting and his ridiculous implants keep him in a coma

arctic talon
#

Assuming they can find daemons willing to share control

#

so heavily

late osprey
arctic talon
#

ah

#

wasn't aware of that tbh

late osprey
#

i actually wasnt either until i just checked up on Gal Vobrak lore again lmao

#

they're called Vakrah Jal

late osprey

#

Can I just say how much I love rolling steel as a track

#

it perfectly keeps the feeling going for the situation, and really sets the scene

#

along with the wheezing built into the track, just chefs kiss

This is unrelated to 40k lore but people don't sleep on Path of Exile 2. Worth the early access cost tbh it's really gd good.

sly ivy

It's so fun tho

No grind, no game.

sly ivy

So tru king

dusk patrol
#

@arctic talon ngl, not sure if I like Arcane season 2 a ton.

It’s very pretty and all that but the story is kinda.

#

Idk

#

Not terrible just not nearly as good or coherent as season 1 imo.

late osprey
#

i just wish the piltover goons weren't such jobbers

#

they look way too cool for that

sly ivy
dusk patrol
#

There’s always gonna be plot armor stuff but yeah some of that stuff was

#

A bit much by the end too

sly ivy
#

Is this proto-indo-European

dusk patrol
#

Like Ambessa not being riddled with bullets by the end

late osprey
sly ivy
#

Namǎs bhavān katham asti?

late osprey

dont have to be so weird all the time lmao

#

a jobber is someone whose slated to lose

viral halo
#

Guys go to bed

umbral kraken
#

a jobber gets jobbed

late osprey
dusk patrol
#

It was too much over a short time

late osprey
#

the piltover goons jobbed even to the other goons

#

like they were just the show's punching bag

dusk patrol
#

Yeah, I think in general season 2 felt like they had two seasons planned

#

But condensed it into one

late osprey
#

even zaunite screamer #50 killed like 20 of them

#

as for the pacing yeah it was rough

dusk patrol
#

It’s a lot over a short period of time

#

It’s not bad at what it’s doing but man it’s just, a lot

late osprey
#

the Dictator Caitlyn arc began and ended like whiplash

dusk patrol
#

The music video thing was definitely overused too

#

Like the chem barons are dismantled in a montage

#

It feels like that all should have been built up slower over a season, with Ambessa being the antagonist, and then the third season would be Viktor as the bigger threat

sly ivy
sly ivy

The divine cow — is it more a god or like an adversary?

sly ivy
late osprey
sly ivy
#

Other nations do not have technology

dusk patrol
#

His motivations were definitely kinda weird.

Like I said, it feels like something which was meant to be much more spaced out and expanded on

arctic talon
#

Arcane season 2 was way too rushed

#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

I got the gist but

late osprey
arctic talon
#

He’s assimilating their soul into a collective hivemind

#

Is what’s going on

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

They don’t really explain stuff well

late osprey
#

ok yeah that makes sense i guess

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

Tldr he’s deleting them from existance

dusk patrol
#

Stuff just happens and then you gotta kinda figure it out and the rules and reasons aren’t clear

arctic talon
#

Since the soul is a tangible thing in runeterra

late osprey
#

runeterra lore is actually kinda dope in places ngl

dusk patrol
#

Viktor it was kinda clear it was bad for those reasons but we’re not really told much and it all just escalates crazy fast

arctic talon
#

As for the mechanics behind how I don’t know smarf

sly ivy
arctic talon
#

Also League of Legends lore ig

#

But the hexcore was magic going wild

dusk patrol
#

Also the stuff with Ambessa and her daughter was, idk.

arctic talon
#

Due to lack of proper control

arctic talon
#

I guess

sly ivy
#

legends categorically don’t exist how can they be in a league

arctic talon
#

They needed an extra season

#

Lol

sly ivy
#

Checkmate

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Like

dusk patrol
#

It all felt like it was supposed to be explained way more

arctic talon
#

They absolutely should have had 3 seasons

dusk patrol
#

Ambessa should have been the season 2 villain who dies by the end

late osprey
#

probably a whole extra plot around the zaun/piltover stuff to finish it up

arctic talon
#

Well

#

We already know the end result

dusk patrol
#

And then Viktor becomes the season 3 villain

arctic talon
#

Of Zaun and piltover

late osprey
#

ambessa dies as they realize shes causing the war or whatever

arctic talon
#

They’re going to be separated into two separate city states

arctic talon
sly ivy
#

@viral halo really dropped in here to say go to bed then split smdh

dusk patrol
#

Also the chem barons holy fuck, they needed more

#

All that stuff

late osprey
arctic talon
#

Oh

dusk patrol
#

Zaun is completely ignored

arctic talon
#

Fair enough

viral halo
#

I AM JACKING MY SHIT RN

#

STOP PINGING ME

dusk patrol
#

But it’s how it is

viral halo
#

I CANT FINISH

arctic talon
#

Zaun and piltover both having a tech boom after they divorce from each other

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Is the funniest shit ever in lore

late osprey
#

theres no real reason why they'd even separate at that point though since iirc it was kumbaya

dusk patrol
#

😘

sly ivy
#

Think about me it’ll speed u up

late osprey
#

like by the end of the show

arctic talon
#

Cultural + ethical differences

viral halo
#

For any real readers in here I beg you to read the red rising series

#

I beg of you

arctic talon
#

Zaun and piltover are very similar but they’re two incredibly distinct cultures

dusk patrol
#

Also, I don’t hate show Viktor but I really prefer the idea behind the original one

late osprey
dusk patrol
#

The show Viktor is a lot less interesting in concept imo

arctic talon
#

Viktor isn’t that unique

sly ivy
#

Poor @arctic talon literally always trying to have a civilized conversation in the middle of our abject cesspool

arctic talon
#

Is the issue lol

dusk patrol
#

Yeah he’s just like

#

A mage

arctic talon
#

He’s just another human

#

Mutilated by magic now

late osprey
#

the idea is identical in either one

arctic talon
#

There’s like a lot of them

late osprey
#

its just one is a cyborg and the other is an eldritch mutant

arctic talon
#

Yeah but combine the magic stuff

dusk patrol
#

As opposed to a technomancer kinda dude

arctic talon
#

With tech

#

It’s much cooler

#

Imo

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

late osprey
#

i do like the tech one more as well

arctic talon
#

He’s very much just horrific magic mutations now

#

Which like

#

Is occupied by many things

dusk patrol
#

I feel like they could have done the exact same thing but make him more hextech steampunk looking

late osprey
#

i cant wait for the noxus show to go down and we get people going "umm actually the noxus are the good guys"

arctic talon
#

NOXUS ARE THE GOOD GUYS

dusk patrol
#

Also Singed’s whole deal is so random

arctic talon
#

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
NOXUS NUMBER 1

#

ON GOD

#

/j

late osprey
#

noxus: awesome
noxus: evil asf

arctic talon
#

Singed is literally just Runeterra Mengle

#

lol

late osprey
#

shrimple as

arctic talon
#

he just does horrific things to people because he wants to

#

his daughter is a secondary motivation to an extent

late osprey
#

iirc they made it so swains already in power

dusk patrol
#

He jsut shows up and kinda helps out and is sad about his daughter or whatever and then doesn’t matter

arctic talon
#

well

#

it lines up with the timeline

late osprey
#

which is such a missed opportunity

arctic talon
#

since concept art reveals the Child/teen that ambessa

#

decapitated

#

is uh

#

Ionian

#

In the Mel flashback

dusk patrol
#

He’s like chemical super weapon Mr. Freeze

late osprey
#

in the original lore, singed gets hired for the 1st generation

#

which is before swain does his coup

arctic talon
#

well

#

he still did

#

Imo

late osprey
#

missed opportunity since the setup of that plot is badass as hell

dusk patrol
#

Their motivation for him was pretty weak imo, very generic “we need him to be tragic” backstory

arctic talon
#

I think the timeline is Invasion of Ionia -> singed hired -> Singed does his warcrimes -> Arcane season 1 -> Ionian war ends sometime -> Swain rises to power -> Arcane Season 2

late osprey
dusk patrol
#

But I guess the other option was

arctic talon
#

I mean he still is Mengle

dusk patrol
#

“I’m evil lol”

late osprey
#

but surely ambessa would have recognized him

arctic talon
#

it lines up with what we know so far

#

well

#

Singed was kept hush hush

#

explictly

late osprey
#

true

arctic talon
#

by the noxian general who hired him

late osprey
#

actually thats solid

arctic talon
#

She didnt' want other people finding out wtf was going on

#

Especially since she fucking gassed her own troops lol

dusk patrol
#

Least based Noxian leader

sly ivy
#

What is this show why don’t people wear more clothes in it

arctic talon
#

arcane?

#

Idk I think people wear plenty of clothes in it

dusk patrol
#

The whole bit with Ambessa and the wizards and wizards in general was so undercooked, it needed so much more to it

arctic talon
#

ngl

late osprey
#

i mean it IS set in a puritan colony in the 1700s

arctic talon
#

why even introduce the Black Rose lol

late osprey
#

they're as clothed as it gets

dusk patrol
#

Seriously

arctic talon
#

like the Mel subplot is like

#

fine

#

but its very whatever

dusk patrol
#

It’s cool but goddamn they do nothing

#

Like she baits the wizard lady and then kills her?

#

Ok

#

Like

arctic talon
#

No

#

not even lol

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Leblanc kills/does something to Ambessa

sly ivy
#

Oh it’s bc the French made it they’re degenerates

arctic talon
#

and then she gets her mirror image deleted
