What's cool about Sons of Medusa aside from them being Iron Hand wanking?
First off, that’s enough for them to be cool
hallow saddle
But that's also why I think they're cool
storm jungle
They pretty much just iron hands with sprite color scheme so it works
hallow saddle
Also one of the badab war chapters

They’re not
hallow saddle
So that's cool too
storm jungle
They are. And thats okay.
Most Successors are pretty one-note anyway
its what makes them fun
dusk patrol
They have similarities but they’re very different form the IH
dusk patrol
Second, they’re cut off from most imperial institutions because their history, and as have to take as many missions as they can to scavenge supplies.
They’re hated by a lot of chapters particularly the IH ones.
Also there’s a culture of mysticism and basically like fortune telling, and a constant need to atone for their sins.
hallow saddle
It's standard homebrew fare let's be honest
dusk patrol
They also like to take enemy gear and purify it
dusk patrol
And reuse all they can
dusk patrol
They’re not though, your just being insanely reductive again

Im really not.

They got unique gimmicks and thats about it.
Successors are usually lucky to get any kind of lore, Sons of M are one of the better off ones.
dusk patrol
No, if you’re gonna be reductive I’m gonna point out the differences, they’re very different

And its ok to just have a normal chat without being a grognard
hallow saddle
No one's saying you can't enjoy it

Then don’t be reductive and put down stuff, and show your ignorance of stuff’s background

You’d throw a hissy fit if I talked about AoS High elves as “fantasy high elves but more edgy” or whatever

Now that's some good justification for changing into cyborgs.
dusk patrol
The bionics are basically always shown to be an upgrade
Through strength, durability, and other features like, an example is a guy who can dilate time so a second is a minute long because his eye and head bionics
crystal forum
i heard a lot of the bionics dont even improve astartes physiology much
dusk patrol
Which is exactly as OP as you’d think
dusk patrol
i heard a lot of the bionics dont even improve astartes physiology much
Depends but IH get the good stuff which is part of why
dapper gyro
I always liked the IF because they are rational enough to use overwhelming firepower, and the RG for being rational and emo.
dusk patrol
Techmarines generally are all improved
IH as a baseline use mastercrafted or artificer bionics
Iron Father made Artificer bionics are some of the obsolete peak bionics in the setting
crystal forum
do they make new ones or are they usually recycled from fallen IH
dusk patrol
Both
crystal forum
btw i never got how vulkan was also an artificer
what's the difference between vulkan's crafting and ferrus's
dusk patrol
It takes a long time to make new ones properly, the persons squad gets first dibs on a fallen marines bionics
Then his clan
Any unused are stored
And are given out to those who earn and need them as needed
dapper gyro
I like superhuman dudes with more human traits and feelings.
When I was introduced to 40k and SM, the SM were all assholes.
Even the UM
dusk patrol
It’s a mix of honoring their brother and making his sacrifice matter, they treat the bionics more carefully than the geneseed borderline
Since it has similar markers for legacy and history
A lot can be traced back to the great crusade era
crystal forum
so are iron hands all craftsmen
dusk patrol
Sorta yeah
crystal forum
or is that just salamanders
dusk patrol
A general baseline
They’re able to maintain their stuff beyond most chapters
And do more, same with their bionics
All know how to repair and assemble and take them apart
spare osprey
Would Gump make a good IH
dapper gyro
Weapon tech, I should have done that course instead of whatever I'm doing now.

They’re able to maintain their stuff beyond most chapters
doesn't that inherently mean they can maintain basic stuff a lot better since IH equipment is high tech

Generally speaking yes

Sorta yeah
They tend to aid them when is required
It depends though
They’ve pissed some off or vice versa
dapper gyro
Despite the wear and tear and part replacement.
crystal forum
so an IH captain would have the red carpet rolled out for him when he arrives?
at a forge world
crystal forum
oh true lol
dusk patrol
But they are given preference and the ad mech likes them more
They still Butt heads though sometimes
crystal forum
yeah mechanicus be doing mechanicus
dusk patrol
Basically, it can often be similar to how different Forge worlds don’t get along
Mars is definitely the main one for the iron hands
It’s where they send all their tech marines
crystal forum
dont all chapters send their tech marines to mars
dusk patrol
No a lot do, but a lot also get sent to whatever the nearest Forge world is
crystal forum
makes sense for black templars
dusk patrol
Part of that is convenience. Part of that is they probably have a better relationship with that world.
And are probably directly supplied by it
The iron hands though don’t go to Metallica, which would be the technical closest world
They’re also given special treatment for their tech marines on Mars
They learn more stuff better stuff and they send a lot more marines
Part of all this too is that a lot of them genuinely follow the machine cult
crystal forum
would it make sense for IH to know about mars's vaults
dusk patrol
Depends but I’d say no probably
Your hands definitely still have their secrets. They keep from everybody even each other to some extent.
And the mechanics isn’t any different
There’s a lot of stuff on Medusa that the ad mech doesn’t know about
And wouldn’t be happy to learn
crystal forum
yeah endless fields of technological abominations
and who knows what else
yet somehow we know more about medusa than inwit
dusk patrol
We know more about Medusa than a lot of first founding home worlds funnily enough
crystal forum
i think it goes by tiers:
- most known planets are still active in the setting (baal, mcrage)
- appear during the primarch's origin story (angron's, medusa)
- is literally just mentioned a handful of times casually (inwit, whatever alpha legion is)

Apparently the next shop rotation are the Truskan Snowhounds. Been a hot minute seeing this regiment get attention again
If there’s ever been a regiment who embodies “hi Kevin, I’m your biggest fan”, it’s these guys with the Cadians
storm jungle
yeah we had someone post the entire set in theorycraft
what a weird "regiment" to pick
spring cairn
I'm even more astonished they didn't just recolour the already existing cadian stuff tbh
storm jungle
Gotta put some effort into the models
spring cairn
that premium™️ effort
storm jungle
I mean
theres an equally amount of good as much as bad cosmetics from the shop so lol
spring cairn
i think the Truskan stuff looks cool

They decided to give the Psyker head protection

it's just that, it's not something i expected them to spend the premium slot for
storm jungle
Yeah that

Apparently the next shop rotation are the Truskan Snowhounds. Been a hot minute ...
like this is it
this is all they fucking have
Its weird because when they do actual Regiment™️ stuff like Elysians it looks kino (minus Krieg but fuck Krieg tbh)

i'd say the dt model look better than their 1 artwork

literally "who"
Granted that was me with the Jopall indentured Squads

Yeah but nobody also knows Jopall
TTS probably gave them more recognition than their actual lore

you only know them if you wanted to know what's the worst official guard color scheme

They remind me of sprinkles

they're literally the PJs brigade

Anyways. The upcoming T Snowhounds are decent compared to most That I seen in rotation.
So…7/10

spring cairn
it's good but it's the weakest premium™️ slop so far
winter vessel
So long as they improve this mess when it’s finally ready
spring cairn
also the flavour text for those sets will be the biggest official lore addition this regiment ever got
It's only a theory but I honestly think they won't do Scions, they went as far as this and then GW told them to stop

That would be the better alternative I suppose

I said, the weapons, are in the files just like the Truskan sets are
that is all factual
idk why you have to try and dismiss it for no reason

Because the armour cosmetics might not be ready 🤷

obviously
I never said they were
I just expressed how I would've preferred Vostroyans instead of the Trusakns tis all

She really lacks substance.

Yeah absolutely lol

Like bro
she literally says she hoped her sister fell out the back of a valkyrie cargo-dock and that it was a "shame" she didnt
what the fuck lmao

SHES FUNNY

She definitely veers the line between a cool character and a bratty Deviantart OC for me.
I like her but I wouldnt cry if she was burnt alive in a plane cockpit
crystal forum
i dont enjoy characters who are written to be bad so protagonists look better in comparison
storm jungle
Thats the thing tho
arctic talon
She’s written that way because she’s a stuck up bratty bitch of an Aeronautica pilot with a huge ego lol
dusk patrol
storm jungle
Yeah but she never gets her comeuppance, ever
arctic talon
And the dude has to make a propaganda film of her
crystal forum
just because it's explained doesn't make it not annoying to me
arctic talon
Which he does
I mean
She doesn’t make the protagonist look better at all
Because he’s a random imperial propagandist who’s never seen an actual Ork before
I’m exaggerating slightly but still

Thats the thing though
like shes just a cunt
I can like characters like that sometimes but shes just eh

OKAY SO LIKE
Not too much of a spoiler since its literally in the BL page

its actually genuinely a bit sad
he ops to actually even leave the room

I mean i expected it because this is the same empire that would tell you that you can match an ork in a melee fight
storm jungle
yeah as Elite said he was very naive
storm jungle
too true tbh
queen laurel
Tbf you can, you just have to be based enough
Yeah but still telling your human soldiers that they can beat an ork which is by the way even the smallest one literally clocks out at 6 ft
And can rip someone's arm off very easily
Is a bad idea

Still potentially useful for future projects. They just need to keep in mind they will have to edit his work

He got a massive scolding and demotion yeah, his punishment was literally living his entire life in a cubicle.
also yeah what Moth said
his "job" was now to just rummage pics and shit
He says as much himself he was surprised he wasnt killed lol

I don't know, many depictions of normal human not just parry, but block strikes from orks. It makes me wonder if the ork are really that strong.

Or Cain using his sword killing some tyrannids or something?
storm jungle
40k still does power-scales largely well minus some few encounters
Cain gets away with it because the joke of his entire series is that its propaganda largely
the author for the series also said himself you should not use the series as comparisons of actual lore-stuff
which is fair
dapper gyro
Well yeah for Cain situation.
late osprey
for the orks there's really not a lot most people can do against them in melee
if i might guess why they put that in the book it's purely just because morale's better for the whole human wave tactics thing than actual wisdom
crystal forum
the book is a joke
late osprey
or the clerk in charge of that section genuinely thinks that, like a some sort of grimdark medieval monk
yes, it is a joke
theres supposed to be lots and lots of dramatic irony in it
crystal forum
they dont call it toilet paper for nothing
storm jungle
considering how unhelpful said "tactics" are that checks out lol
dapper gyro
The only guard regiment that can really melee them is the Catachan, but I don't consider them to be normal human like most other regiments.
late osprey
presumably catachan's melee prowess comes from their ability to leap out from the jungles and ambush people
crystal forum
catachan are as squishy as regular humans they just have a lot of survival knowledge
storm jungle
fighting an ork is essentially just fighting a bodybuilder with a big knife/gun most of the time
