[raven stone]

It would make sense to have 3 human based armies (Lost and Dmaned, GSC, Guard)

[arctic talon]

Ngl id rather a “chaos mortals”

Book

So we can include chaos xenos

[arctic talon]

You will be sent to a re education camp for the Tau’va

[tough haven]

Its just funny how if a space marine does that schtick people love it

[arctic talon]

The salamander human burning company

[misty vector]

they only genocide aliens on weekdays theyre so wholesome

[gray umbra]

because greater good = ccp

[wintry scarab]

Is this a thing that only 1 marine in a chapter gets to wear?

[gray umbra]

like the skull?

i dont think so

seems pretty standard iom

[wintry scarab]

No, the skull and the pattern. Its a sign of command but idk what exactly that means nor how many actually have one.

[gray umbra]

not sure about the colors

[wintry scarab]

Do you know who would wear one of these then? Vet sergeants and above?

[gray umbra]

Anyone in an honor guard so yeah

seems like its just vets + company ancients/champs

[wintry scarab]

Aight, nice, thx

still curious if the red and black pattern has any significance.

Also another thing. Howcome some ravenguard have white arms? Does this have any meaning?

[languid meadow]

damn they forgot the salamanders when porting over the symbols to the right pauldron

[dapper gyro]

In the older editions, it is for the veteran.

[wintry scarab]

Deathwatch salamanders stay losing 😎

[tulip sand]

I think adding ogryns has had a negative impact on map design and atmosphere

You cant get the full cramped hive experience as every accessible area has to fit a max height ogryn inside

In the same way cyberpunk benefited from being an fps which allowed for realistic ceiling heights compared to tps games which need to accommodate the camera

[misty vector]

i think it wouldve been so regardless of ogryns

[tough haven]

I still think darktide is pretty faithful tbh even without

[gray umbra]

well on the other hand, whenever people say the game looks bland i just say

"look up"

[tough haven]

It feels cramped but still expansive cause you’re inside a continent sized city

[arctic talon]

Ngl we’re never in the Uber shithole areas

No underhive stuff

Always lower hive

[gray umbra]

also dealing with 20+ maulers n shit stacked on top of each other in a tiny corridor is pain

[tulip sand]

Yuh even the torrent

[misty vector]

Are the deep parts really that much worse than stuff like the torrent?

[arctic talon]

Yes

The Torrent still is organized

[tulip sand]

Of course

[misty vector]

havent read much about it, idk what to imagine about it besides it being dark and having strange creatures

and having to sift through feces water for food

[storm jungle]

these arent even the best screenshots i could get but like damn

[tulip sand]

Well the torrent is still both largely inhabited and has some degree of infrastructure but you see all that water and effluent falling, but it ends up somewhere

The very 'bottom' of a hive would be basically like a cave system at that point but with radiation and toxic/explosive gases. However there is lost tech down there which can be very valuable if you rediscover it

[storm jungle]

Can't be...

[tropic stag]

stunning ❤️

[sly ivy]

This freaking game man

[spare osprey]

How "sane" are obliterators?

should prob look it up but i desire a colorful answer

out of spite

[fleet parcel]

The sky box is always breathtaking

[crystal forum]

makes you realize how tiny you are compared to the hive city

[dusk patrol]

Depends but they’re basically possessed marines

[spare osprey]

could the type of weapon they absorb effect their mind?

[dusk patrol]

Probably yeah

[spare osprey]

hmmmm

good

alr thx

[wintry scarab]

Could a simple battle brother be sent to the deathwatch or is it more of a higher ranking thing?

[vagrant fox]

The one obliterator in Siege of Castellax isn't worse than any other csm. Bit of a dick but nothing out of the ordinary

[vagrant fox]

In the Deathwatch ttrpg you begin as a simple battle brother with a few decades of experience post scout duties at rank 1 iirc

[hallow basin]

Can you imagine an exiled Astartes trying to apply for a Black Shield position and being denied just because he doesn't have the rank

[arctic talon]

Black shield requirements seem to be less stringent

Arguably

[fleet parcel]

Shouldve kept the receipts

[hallow basin]

I'd argue it's more of a case of joining Deathwatch to be honorable, so chances are younger space marine won't have enough battle experience to prove himself worthy

[arctic talon]

Fair enough

[grave radish]

What’s the strongest Space Marine Faction ever?

[remote widget]

So.. is there a 40k equivalent of les mis ? Seems like they've imitated most things

[arctic talon]

don't think so

[hallow basin]

Arguably Grey Knights. Realistically - whoever the main heroes are

[glossy sonnet]

Grey Knights in reality. Ultramarines when its a book about them.

[outer wave]

Whoever is writing the story

[wintry scarab]

After leaving the deathwatch, is it up to the individual to chose on how to display their service or even to display it at all? Or are you froced to wear the silver arm?

Well i guess you literally have titus lol

So i guess theres my answer

[zealous copper]

What's the equivalent of a witch hunter captain here and who are some cool ones?

[queen laurel]

you talking about warhammer fantasy witch hunters?

[zealous copper]

yeah!!! like saltzpyre from vermintide :>

[queen laurel]

Well your best bet would be the ordo hereticus of the inquisition

They are even called witch hunters

Their entire job is taking care of internal threats in the imperium

Witches mutants stuff like that

As for characters since i am not that versed in the imperium i cannot provide you on that front

[dapper gyro]

If you want to show off your service, you wear it. If it was for penance, most likely you don't want it to be remembered.

[arctic talon]

an inquisitor of Ordo hereticus is the closest tbh

[shadow plover]

@storm jungle I'm sure you'll love this, the power scalers have found their way to the Trench Crusade Discord

[queen laurel]

Bro

they will look for any reason to have a scrap online

[storm jungle]

For the love of god

literally cannot get away from these people

[queen laurel]

i've seen ORKS less aggressive than these guys

[storm jungle]

genuinely

[arctic talon]

Kill them with hammers bro

I hate power scalers

💀

Actual fucking plague

[shadow plover]

none escapes them

[winter vessel]

its not a fandom without it

[arctic talon]

Kill

[queen laurel]

yeah it's the one type of disease nurgle wishes he doesn't have

[shadow plover]

yeah but can he kill Goku

[queen laurel]

they say that as i can literally pull out the random character out of my pocket that can

[arctic talon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/222200485115985921/1315841171611844669/jeff.gif

[winter vessel]

" [insert 40k character/faction here] can pretty much take on the literal forces of Hell. Think anything else could kill them?" no but i'm certain you can't handle me in a knife fight. Let me start

[languid meadow]

Comparing witch hunter captains and ordo hereticus inquisitors is so funny to me

[queen laurel]

well ordo hereticus are called witch hunters

[outer wave]

Anyway I think Goku kills them all

[dapper gyro]

I am one of the power scalers as you call it, but I don't go to such ridiculous lengths.

[queen laurel]

And like that's the only witch hunters in the setting so well we gotta do what we gotta do

[queen laurel]

A sane power scaler how rare

[winter vessel]

only a power scaler deals in absolutes

[languid meadow]

like you'd expect the medieval ones to be insanely puritanically (not saying there isn't any) but it's the reverse with there usually being more reasonable WHCs than inquisitors

[arctic talon]

It’s about as close as we can get

[languid meadow]

Well I know that they occupy the same niche ( my cat hit enter mid sentence)

[arctic talon]

Wtf is this lol

[storm jungle]

its a scene from the critically acclaimed show Invincible

[queen laurel]

pov: a primarch getting absolutely manhandled by a random version of a marvel character

[arctic talon]

Did you get this shit from Alibaba

[storm jungle]

the what

[arctic talon]

What

[dapper gyro]

Just say knock off...

[storm jungle]

anyway better version imo

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/social-credit-gif-23976170

[queen laurel]

nice primarch here's a version of the thing that's made up of infinity stones

[winter vessel]

the audio for that villager is a phenomenal reference

[dusk patrol]

What about Batman with prep time?

[storm jungle]

I love it lmao

[storm jungle]

okay people meme on this but like

i legit hate

how he could legit do it

god I hate comics

[dusk patrol]

Unfortunately I wrote him as not doing it

Therefore, I win

[winter vessel]

did his parents have prep time?

[storm jungle]

Whew crisis averted

[dapper gyro]

I'm born as an enemy of the ccp, my social credit is already unsalvageable.

[storm jungle]

NAAHHH 💀

[languid meadow]

they should've since they went into fucking CRIME ALLEY

[shadow plover]

Did Robin have prep time

[storm jungle]

well yes

they were circus performers

[storm jungle]

TO BE FAIR

It was named that AFTER they got murdered

still funny af though

[dapper gyro]

I hate batman. Not just dislike, hate.

[storm jungle]

same

[languid meadow]

still insane that they walked down the alley in the first place

[queen laurel]

used to be good until they turned him into a human god

[storm jungle]

well rich people are not known for being smart

see recent CEO shenanigans

[queen laurel]

Why do you think Luigi from Super Mario did what he had to do

[winter vessel]

i just don't like batman's approach of handling crime...thats why i like Red Hood : D

[storm jungle]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

his logic makes no sense either

[queen laurel]

Honestly as much as I don't wanna kill people because I am a nice guy sometimes you're just gonna have to off them

[dapper gyro]

Batman logic is insanely flawed.

[storm jungle]

put away most of the criminals sure that i dont mind, but literal pedos like mad hatter or mass murderers like joker just go free because "i cant be like them"

fucking dumbass

[queen laurel]

I think he lets like the government handle them because you know he captures them and he lets the government judge their crimes

that's his reasoning for making things safe but you know

[storm jungle]

yeah and gotham's government sucks

GIVE. JOKER. THE CHAIR.

[queen laurel]

yeah

stop putting him in the asylum please

[storm jungle]

Lmfao

love that clip

[dapper gyro]

Joker killed you, not me.

[languid meadow]

Gotham is so bad that in some storylines the fucking president is like "nah that shit isn't ours anymore good luck lol"

[storm jungle]

NO MAN'S LAND LMAO

[dapper gyro]

Brother, you are looking for fucking excuses.

[storm jungle]

Literally "fuck this city who cares"

[dusk patrol]

You gotta reall suspend disbelief that no one at Arkham ever would just cap the Joker.

[storm jungle]

DUDE

THEY DID A COMIC WITH THAT WITH THE RIDDLER

[queen laurel]

considering that squidward is a multiversal level threat because of living with spongebob i can believe he survived this

[storm jungle]

Hes gonna cap him and Rizzler is like

"oh but im gonna kill your family if you shoot me"

fuck off

jesus lmao

[dusk patrol]

The question isn't if he could

[winter vessel]

its kinda funny how my love of heroes changed in both Marvel and DC. you, see I liked Captain America but then grew to admire the Punisher. I believed in Batman and then sided with Red Hood. I have this weird cycle as i age from childhood into adulthood, where the only action to take is to make it permanent.

I remember reading that comic of Punisher actually going to put Joker into the ground, and the clown was genuinely concerned. No last laugh, no torment. to Frank, that guy was just another thing to check off a grocery list

[dusk patrol]

The question is, would he want to?

[queen laurel]

yeah

[storm jungle]

Genuinely same.

[queen laurel]

compared to listening to spongebob

[storm jungle]

Like i still enjoy hero figures but it super depends for me

[queen laurel]

that's nothing

[dapper gyro]

I don't support the Punisher type of vigilante, but Batman is just way worse.

[storm jungle]

Frank at least admits hes wrong

Batman meanwhile lol

[dusk patrol]

Batman does admit he's not totally rational

[dapper gyro]

Right, always has that fucking moral high ground on other people.

[storm jungle]

Well sometimes does sometimes doesnt

"IM THE REASON CRIMINALS BREATHE EASY WHEN THE SUN COMES UP"

Shut up

[dusk patrol]

But he also doesn't trust himself with taking that step.

[winter vessel]

Joker gave fent to kids, hundreds died. Batman pulls a Steven Universe. "He can change guys! I SWEAR*

[queen laurel]

yeah he openly admits that no one should become like him and that his way is not right and is an easy way out

[storm jungle]

yeah because he sucks

[shadow plover]

Batman knows he's BATshit

[dusk patrol]

Frank realistically should be killing

Way more innocents by accident

Anyways, heres is my Ted Talk on why Ennis Frank is peak.

[storm jungle]

No

[dapper gyro]

And yet he keeps doing it instead of change. He just looks for excuses.

[shadow plover]

also consider this: Robert Pattinson as The Batman is absolute cinema so I will allow any Batman silliness for that movie to exist 🙏

[storm jungle]

this is the sort of writing Dan Abnett cannot achieve

[languid meadow]

is this the batman that has his own page on the villain wiki

[winter vessel]

"who are you supposed to be..." Robert Battinson: "...I'm not wearing hockey pads..."

[storm jungle]

LOL

[queen laurel]

Average life changing conversation with bro

[dusk patrol]

Me, patiently waiting for Frank to do this on Disney+

[languid meadow]

Batman written so badly people see him as another character

[storm jungle]

"We just wanted to do business" is crazy

its why I really dont care for half the people Frank kills

lol

[dapper gyro]

Batman does not help people. He only wants to help himself.

[storm jungle]

face the wall bro 💀

[shadow plover]

Frank is just the comic version of the Blam meme

[winter vessel]

I remember watching in daredevil. the line that stuck with me regarding frank in that pawn shop "Barely 12"

[storm jungle]

It works so i dont mind it

haha m60 go brrrr

[storm jungle]

YEP

[dusk patrol]

To be clear shes part of a crime syndicate who enslave people, she was in charge of how they enslaved women and made sure each woman was raped to break them before sending them to whoever.

Which is the point of the scene, Frank is making her feel powerless and unable to stop whats happening like she did to the girls she was in charge.

[winter vessel]

like, Frank, don't even give the mortician an opportunity to identify who this guy was

[storm jungle]

Classic Ennis writing

but also yeah here it works at least

i prefer when he doesnt shove slurs/racist humor into like every 5 page

then its good

[dusk patrol]

He did know how to make some villains you did not care what Frank did to them.

[languid meadow]

Gath Ennis and his funny little OCs beating up superheros

[storm jungle]

Also Ennis writing women

(FYI im mostly posting these because they are so bad its hilarious I still like his Punisher stuff)

[shadow plover]

this is dire

[storm jungle]

SDFKLDSLFDSLKFDKLSF

[dusk patrol]

Punisher Max is by far his best work because he kinda holds himself back a bit.

[storm jungle]

"Kinda" in big quotations

[dusk patrol]

Most of his stuff he just goes like

Its always two steps too far.

[storm jungle]

Yeah its good when he actually focuses on like the "proper" Punisher stuff, the other things i could do without.

[dusk patrol]

Frank he for whatever reason didn't want to take too far.

[shadow plover]

This server is a prison

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

BAHAHA

[storm jungle]

"that shit always get sme soaking wet"

OH MY GOD

STOP

[shadow plover]

what the hell

[storm jungle]

kKLSDFKLSDF

Anyway yeah aside from this garbage his Punisher stuff is fun

[dusk patrol]

Not his worst writing is the worst part.

[storm jungle]

^

I mostly keep these because its so funny

[winter vessel]

didn't max do a christmas comic of Pun.

[dusk patrol]

Like I said Punisher Max is tame compared to some stuff.

[languid meadow]

Woe boys comics upon ye

[storm jungle]

Horseco-

[dapper gyro]

You used your face to type 2 times in this convo, are you ok Dil?

[shadow plover]

boys comic doesn't even try to be a proper comic though

[storm jungle]

yeah that

[shadow plover]

it's just shit

[storm jungle]

its just miseryfest

[winter vessel]

you know i hated this character for no justifiable reason when it came up on cartoon network. i just thought "can i kill this sonuvabitch?"

[dusk patrol]

Wanted is probably his best work besides

[storm jungle]

Wanted was Ennis?

[languid meadow]

"this supe is a pervert"
"this supe is a pervert"
repeat till end

[arctic talon]

Also tek knight was fine

Until he got a tumor

[dusk patrol]

wait o

[languid meadow]

oh yeah and one of them was "this supe is GAY" iirc

[storm jungle]

Tek Knight is your average chapter-master

[arctic talon]

And then he became a pervert

[storm jungle]

Im like

90% sure Ennis is like homophobic and sexist

[dusk patrol]

Idk why I thought he did Wanted

[storm jungle]

it really comes across in some of his works

[storm jungle]

Miseryfest genre-breakdown

its very similiar

[queen laurel]

Hard to believe he only hates superheroes if he writes things like that

[dusk patrol]

Similar era too of that 90s early 2000s edge.

[queen laurel]

there's not liking and hating superheroes then there's that

[dusk patrol]

He's said straight up it makes money

And thats why

[arctic talon]

He likes money

Surprise surprise

[dusk patrol]

He doesn't really care for the subject but it sells comics.

[storm jungle]

He still cannot sometimes keep his salt in check tho

like uh

[languid meadow]

Pretty sure the only hero he likes is superman which is funny

[arctic talon]

Obviously

[storm jungle]

i remember that "response" comic he did to the show

with like

[dusk patrol]

Oh yeah he doesn't hid his disdain

[storm jungle]

Hughie's SUPER BAD

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

[storm jungle]

trans BFF

also complaining about covid

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Superman is like

Idk

[queen laurel]

The pinnacle of being a superhero

[arctic talon]

Superman’s just a dude lol

[winter vessel]

man thinks he's Evelyn Deavor from Incredibles 2

[storm jungle]

Also before I forget one of the most edgelord ending panels to a comic ever

Like, huh?

what did I do

[shadow plover]

[storm jungle]

"THIS IS ME FUCKING YOU IN THE ASS"

[arctic talon]

Ok

[shadow plover]

the tribal tattoos really sell it

[queen laurel]

even deadpool is less deranged than his works

[dusk patrol]

Damn he got me

[storm jungle]

Yeah very sad

anyway

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/bronn-jaime-ser-you-messed-up-gif-13935001

[storm jungle]

He really put his fingah in our bum with that one

[arctic talon]

When are they stopping the dune movies

Because it’s going to get wacky

[storm jungle]

We need more shrooms

we need to get WILDER

[dapper gyro]

Spice and worm

[arctic talon]

Cocaine

Not shrooms

Herbert was cocaine man

[shadow plover]

Villeneuve will be only making the Messiah

[scenic bolt]

villeneuves out after messiah

[dusk patrol]

Imagining this dude writing that down

[winter vessel]

on the topic of comics, anyone here read Ruins the "everything went shit wrong for the heroes" edition?

[arctic talon]

Sounds about eight

[scenic bolt]

anyone handling children+after is on them and hes said warners really pushing him or someone to make it a franchise

[storm jungle]

I actually legit looked up what he looks like after reading Wanted, its so funny

[dapper gyro]

Yes, I read that like 10 years ago.

[storm jungle]

Really like this one for just "realistic superpowers"

Hulk growing to be a literal radioactive chaos spawn was harrowing lol

i think the art carries it

[winter vessel]

all i had to say reading these were just "Oh...damn...".

[queen laurel]

what power scalers look like in real life

[winter vessel]

and what Ben Grimm was supposed to be "Thing" seemed to have the most adjusted life

[dapper gyro]

Some of the X-men are hookers, which is so funny.

[winter vessel]

in that mess

[languid meadow]

I HATE when hulk becomes evil it's so boring and gross most of the time

Old Man Logan comes to mind

Hate that shit

[dapper gyro]

Hulk has insane plot armour.

[queen laurel]

yeah like people forget that if you treat hulk like a actual person he will treat you nicely

shame that he's mostly made as this brute monster

[winter vessel]

it was only two years ago i realized Red She-Hulk was a thing. which actually is just Betty Ross

[dapper gyro]

Wolverine is actually quite well adjusted for a poster boy.

[storm jungle]

comic Hulk can solo a lot of shit which is 💀

[arctic talon]

Isn’t comic hulk like

Insanely strong or something

[dapper gyro]

Planetary level

Yes

[queen laurel]

prime earth hulk if mad enough can literally punch reality

[dapper gyro]

Throw hulk in 40k and chaos will worship him.

[winter vessel]

one could only imagine if Eric Bana continued to play as the hulk into the MCU

[dusk patrol]

He has a very high ceiling

[queen laurel]

he will make khorne his bitch

[dusk patrol]

Technically infinite, maybe

Although normally he doesn't get to that

[queen laurel]

yeah make him play a game of League of Legends Rank and he can solo the entire warhammer verse

[dusk patrol]

Worldbreaker Hulk is not the norm.

[dapper gyro]

Fact

[queen laurel]

yeah he needs to be INCREDIBLY pissed

[dapper gyro]

There is also true form hulk, which doesn't look human at all.

[queen laurel]

Which most of the time doesn't really get to that point but when it does

[dapper gyro]

When the plot armour kick in.

[queen laurel]

Yeah technically speaking he has infinite strength

many marvel characters has also admitted this

and some higher tiers even say the getting on his bad side is a bad idea and would rather avoid conflict with him

[dusk patrol]

Worldbreaker Hulk is op cause he finally found a girl he can go to town on and not have any danger of hurting her.

[queen laurel]

yeah honestly

hulk is not bad if you can find a way of making him get along with banner

too bad that's not gonna happen anytime soon

[dapper gyro]

Despite being a comic nerd, DC/Marvel and most superhero comics always turn me off because of the lack of cool sci-fi soldiers.

[dusk patrol]

Also he had a edgy son he had to beat the snot out of to get to behave.

[queen laurel]

and now

what is marvel doing

hulk is bacn on step one on not liking banner

[winter vessel]

not so much sci-fi per say, but my fix for that was the Gears of War comics when it came to cool soldiers

[dusk patrol]

Yeah.,....

[languid meadow]

Onyx guard my beloved

I love elite troops that guard places/people archetype

[winter vessel]

to bad they made the "elite guard" look like pushovers in those games

[dapper gyro]

Halo and StarCraft also have some pretty good comic, but they started out as video games.

[languid meadow]

I mean yeah it's to boost how dangerous the locusts are

[dapper gyro]

Gear is also sci-fi as hell.

[languid meadow]

the same way the avatar of khaine gets dog walked by named characters

Both the OG and new designs just hit the spot for me

I love them so much

[winter vessel]

look more streamlined

[dapper gyro]

I love the elite troops that actually go to fight and do the job too risky for normal troops.

[queen laurel]

a single bloody drone versus young marcus fenix

[winter vessel]

I was more particular to the COG Commandos

[queen laurel]

people forget that a single locust drone can eat you alive

[languid meadow]

Yeah marcus had to grind to get to where he is

[dapper gyro]

The royal guard kind of stuff is not my thing, because it doesn't make sense from a tactical standpoint.

[languid meadow]

and most onyx guards got fucking wiped in the first 2 years of the war

iirc

nvm

6 weeks after E day

[winter vessel]

and every fan remembers their "First time" with this thing in the 1st game.

[languid meadow]

they got bodied hard by the best commanders the locust had

[winter vessel]

I do hope they keep on track with the Mk1 lancer for most of E-day's campaign.

[dapper gyro]

Onyx Guards are cool, because they are actually sent to difficult jobs... unfortunately that's also how they are wiped out.

[queen laurel]

drones can be massive too

exibit a

[dusk patrol]

RAAM is kinda a special case though lol

[queen laurel]

this big body bastard is the size of a boomer

[languid meadow]

I think it was a year into the conflict that Tai and Marcus came up with the idea of the Mk2 right?

[queen laurel]

yeah they just said he was a boomer i wouldn't even mind

that was like smarter than average

[languid meadow]

One thing I really liked that GoW4 did was introduce more COGs

like the marines

[winter vessel]

NCOG marines, they had their own unique armor

[languid meadow]

NCOG marine

[queen laurel]

i like locust because they are like such a unique take on the horde faction stuff

[dusk patrol]

Carmine my beloved.

[winter vessel]

poor kid

[dusk patrol]

I remember they did a online poll or something

Over if he lived or died in Gears 3.

The third brother

[dapper gyro]

Gear 4 story is ok, but damn Gear 5 sucks.

[languid meadow]

yeah they sold shirts on the xbox marketplace and whichever one sold the most decided his fate

[winter vessel]

yeah, a lot of people didn't know what they were signing up for and what it would cost

[queen laurel]

i love boomers

Maulers especially

[languid meadow]

I think 5 was ok as well

I really enjoyed the UIR areas

[winter vessel]

they push aside the one character who was getting development and made him look like an ass, to let Mary Sue Katie take the spotlight

[languid meadow]

nice seeing them again after barely seeing them in 3 and 4

[shadow plover]

Pretty sure the voting was also done by buying virtual t-shirts to your xbox avatar

[dusk patrol]

Yeah that was it

[shadow plover]

billion dollar idea

[languid meadow]

Therons and palace guards go hard asf

[queen laurel]

was their like an explanation of why RAAM it's basically a boomer instead of a drone even though he is a drone

[winter vessel]

what i wish for after seeing the customization of Gears Tactics, we don't just get skins, because imma be honest, I kinda want to be a helmeted regular Gear.

[dapper gyro]

Half of the game was about him, too. Then the 2nd half has a sudden shift..... It is stupid for me.

[dusk patrol]

https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Fate_Of_Carmine_Campaign

Guess it was for charity

[queen laurel]

l like an actual explanation on why he's so *** **** big

[shadow plover]

that's nice at least

[winter vessel]

it was tolerable, because i've seen it in other media sometimes. but the CHOICE was what pissed me off towards the end

[dapper gyro]

Yes, it was out of the blue.

[shadow plover]

never got around playing 5, but I enjoyed 4 more than most of the original 3

[dusk patrol]

I never played 5 either.

Barely remember 4 tbh

[shadow plover]

the games weren't really that great over all, very 7th gen slop

decent fun

[dusk patrol]

GoW in general was kinda

[winter vessel]

4 was alright, i did like the variety of regular gears and not just the faced characters.

[dusk patrol]

Always not that great

[dapper gyro]

People moved on from those formula.

[languid meadow]

out of the 3 OGs 2 is my fav just for the music and scenes they took place in

[dusk patrol]

There was some sadness porn and stuff

[winter vessel]

yeah, 2 had that large scale feeling to it

[dusk patrol]

Gears 3 had a good finish largely but yeah

[shadow plover]

turtle men fighting behind covers wasn't really a great blueprint in the end

[languid meadow]

Operation hollow storm and the brumak part are cool

[dapper gyro]

Games nowadays are quite different from what popular 2 decades ago.

[languid meadow]

also Prescott's speech

[winter vessel]

I had to pause when I found Maria during that story. i think it was like, 10 minutes of just staring at a wall and then i unpaused

[dapper gyro]

Crisis is another series that took a nose dive in story.

[winter vessel]

and then i started chainsawing like no tomorrow

[languid meadow]

when gears does emotional moments it does it well

[dapper gyro]

I remember one of the dev said something about graphic is 75% of the game.

[languid meadow]

Dom and Maria fucked me up as a kid

[shadow plover]

Crysis? I do think 2 was excellent for the story but gameplay took quite a hit going from PC only to a console shooter

3 had its moments

[queen laurel]

Mega mechs go hard

[winter vessel]

I got really confused with the whole prophet and alcatraz fusion

[dapper gyro]

3 has some moment, but overall, not good.

2 is really so so.

[dusk patrol]

Crysis went waaaay off the rails yeah

[winter vessel]

who here played Resistance?

[dapper gyro]

Because the suit has a mind of its own.

[dapper gyro]

On PS3 yes

[languid meadow]

People fucking hate on the Deebees (in story context) but like it makes sense why they exist, humanity lost like 90% of it's population so of course they would use robots, however their gameplay leaves stuff to be desired.

[shadow plover]

Crysis 3 focused too much on to look like the best game in the market so they forgot to make it the most interesting to play

[dapper gyro]

At my friend place split screen, too.

I don't like Resistance much.

[shadow plover]

Resistance was the peak of playstation shooters

I'd pay good money for the trilogy to be ported to pc

[dusk patrol]

Basically just, a copy of Prophets mind took over for Alcatraz when he "died", the suit bonded with him so deep that they became one and the same.

So it was more, some new person with Prophets memories.

And the suit merged with his body.

[languid meadow]

I like resistance for the alt WW2 and the chimera but I don't like the constant

https://tenor.com/view/american-dad-all-is-lost-the-all-is-lost-moment-berry-its-all-over-gif-2150561225489269296

[dapper gyro]

The suit chose to use Prophet's backed up memory because it was with him longer, therefore more complete.

[winter vessel]

the way they made chimeras also freaked me out as a kid

[shadow plover]

I enjoyed it being very much on the downswing of humanity, last grasps and the like

the mission behind enemy lines in Fall of Man was peak

[dapper gyro]

It takes over when Alcatraz brain died, but the body still functional, kind of vegetable state.

[languid meadow]

Greyjacks are still some of my fav enemy designs

also the VTOLs are up there with some of the best looking troop transports in fiction imo, same with the ravens from GOW

[shadow plover]

If Insomniac had some balls they'd return to Resistance now that they've got the Marvel money

[dapper gyro]

The only things I really love about Resistance are the Resistance 2 assault rifle and shotgun.

[dusk patrol]

Also Alcatraz was sorta still in there but its complicated, one of the Crysis books covers it better.

Also the suit is way more OP than its shown in game.

[languid meadow]

I would love if Sony did anything with Killzone or Resistance both deserve something in the modern day

[dusk patrol]

Like the invisibility is infinite and theres much fewer limits

[winter vessel]

i never realized how many games kind of just faded into obscurity before we got further into the 2010s. I used to play this with my dad a lot when i was eight

[dapper gyro]

RTS is not that popular anymore.

[languid meadow]

Tiberium wars always seems to be overshadow by the other tiberium games

[dapper gyro]

Killzone? Nah, it turned into Horizon now.

[winter vessel]

it never was my cup of tea, but still entertaining

[dapper gyro]

Me still playing StarCraft to this day...

[queen laurel]

oh man

[winter vessel]

i remember playing red alert 3 on my uncle's computer

[queen laurel]

this ones mine

[languid meadow]

the Scrin were the best part of tiberium wars for me

[queen laurel]

i played command and conquer generals a lot as a kid

[languid meadow]

you are made of stupid - George Takei

[dapper gyro]

Xcom is sometimes fun, but most of the time it is not for me for a turn base game.

[winter vessel]

i always get bored of turn based more than RTS. it just feels like im playing chess but with extra steps

[languid meadow]

I was looking for an Xcom gif and like

damn

I forgot how thirsty people are for vipers

https://tenor.com/view/soobfad-druski-gif-25646977

[dapper gyro]

But that's how you play Warhammer... 😖

[queen laurel]

a good strategy game never fails to scratch an itch

[winter vessel]

true, very true. but i feel a distinct difference between doing it on screen than in real life. the "atmosphere" or something. If i do it from a monitor it just feels more tedious to me, don't know why

[languid meadow]

omg I forgot that JK Simmons was in red alert 3

[dusk patrol]

They had a very solid cast for the leaders in that

[winter vessel]

I learned that the woman who plays Suki Toyama for the Empire of the Rising Sun story route also voices Stacy from Phineas and Ferb.

[languid meadow]

I need DOOM the dark ages badly

no MP and more story stuff makes me excited

[winter vessel]

Really curious to the change in combat style.

But I’m more drawn into the other faction as we learn more about Argenta

[queen laurel]

them actually slowing down the gameplay is something

making you want to stay more grounded

[languid meadow]

Yeah I like how they're trying something new between games

[queen laurel]

i love doom eternal but my god you need to be a crack junkie to play that

[languid meadow]

my only gripe is the lack of synced glory kills

also the one handed weapon designs

just irks me the wrong way

[winter vessel]

I just like the blend of Medieval sci fi with the Night Sentinels

[languid meadow]

yeah the Night Sentinel designs are great

[queen laurel]

i can cosplay pacific rim in the game so we will see how it cooks up

[languid meadow]

also more Makyr stuff is always cool

[winter vessel]

There’s that fat Maykr I saw during the showcase

[dapper gyro]

Doom 2016 feels better than Eternal for me.

[winter vessel]

Funny to know that angle

[dapper gyro]

Also, the Aegis Armor rock.

[languid meadow]

This is one of the best armors for the slayer I've seen

my only grip is the exposed skin on the arms again

[dapper gyro]

Yeah, I don't like that aspect of the armour neither.

[winter vessel]

I wasn’t really fond of his eternal design either. All those studs on his armor pieces just look weird

[dapper gyro]

On my mini, I painted it dark brown so it looks like he has mesh on the arms.

[queen laurel]

https://youtu.be/8KyA7bf4IB0?si=UALUKpNdJVflic5j

[languid meadow]

yeah but luckily the new design makes up for the exposed skin by being cool

[queen laurel]

yeah i'm not gonna lie i like how this looks

[winter vessel]

2016 Still among the best of his design

[languid meadow]

The armored hell knight design goes hard asf

the normal one isn't half bad either

[dapper gyro]

The D2016 but a little bit buffier like in Eternal would be perfect.

[queen laurel]

dreadknights and hell knights will always be my favorite

[languid meadow]

I love (mostly) everything we've seen so far

also more exploration is great

[queen laurel]

yeah so far

[languid meadow]

I loved looking for the little figures

[queen laurel]

it's great

[dapper gyro]

The Reaper in Darktide is almost as annoying as the mancubus.

[languid meadow]

Fuck eternals cyber mancubus

Annoying asf on nightmare

[shadow plover]

I hope the maps aren't too open, I don't mind expansive but I hope there still are well composed arenas most of the time

[winter vessel]

My only gripe is the lack of kill animations of the Mancubus

[shadow plover]

but if I gotta fight on open plains most of the time I'd be disappointed

[dapper gyro]

Well, you have the shield, which is a mobile cover.

[shadow plover]

It's not a cover thing, just a fun factor thing

[languid meadow]

After Ancient Gods part 2 I can't wait to see more of the unholy war/crusade

[dapper gyro]

I really think that they will go with a more open field approach compare the the previous games.

D2016 is surprisingly open, but it is so much more fun than Eternal for me.

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-the-ancient-gods-gif-20986434

Watching ATLANs and titans beat each other is peak

[winter vessel]

I do hope they present the Slayer’s adopted brothers in arms to not be to much of a pushover. Would like to see that there is a distinct way of Humanity’s stand against the forces of hell. And the argentans prowess on the battlefield

[dapper gyro]

I don't like the story of TAG 1-2.

[languid meadow]

Since they're adding way more characters and actual story in the game and not codex's I think we'll see the slayer being more of a character

My fav character moment is still the intro for 2016

[shadow plover]

Slayer will have a mech battle with a giant demon and after the fight he'll go "Well THAT just happened"

[winter vessel]

It got a little weird. Especially with what’s essentially a reversal of Lucifer’s fall from grace, and that it was God’s creations who usurped him. And the whole Dark God creating Slayer kinda threw me for a loop

[languid meadow]

I like the dark lord but I don't like the slayer being created by him

[dapper gyro]

It is too much of a random angels and demons 3 ways killing each other.

[languid meadow]

but him being cast down by his creations and his once pure intent being corrupted by desperation is cool

[winter vessel]

I still subscribe that this is still the same Slayer we’ve had since the first game, just an, alternate reality. I mean, it seems to be implied in his flashbacks when we see his old armor

*helmet

[languid meadow]

yeah it seems that's the way they're pushing it

[dapper gyro]

Btw, in the description of the weapons in D2016, each chaingun round would have the power 10 times of the railgun...

[queen laurel]

dark ages is a prequel to the modern doom games right

[languid meadow]

yeah

[dapper gyro]

I don't know who wrote the description for the weapons in that game.

[languid meadow]

it's story leads up to the slayer chronicles in 2016 doom

iirc

which in itself is very old lore so idk if that stuff still rings true anymore

since eternal changed a bunch of it

[dapper gyro]

The armour in D2016 is way too different now...

[winter vessel]

It’s Bethesda. Look at starfield, the guns make zero sense

[languid meadow]

I wonder if we'll see the 2016 suit in dark ages

[dapper gyro]

I don't know how they can make the D2016 armour make sense.

[queen laurel]

the atlan in the fortress of doom is the same one in the trailer i presume

[winter vessel]

It was given to him by some sort of, Wretch?

[languid meadow]

yeah

[winter vessel]

At the very least explain how he acquired it prior 2016

[languid meadow]

which we still don't know who that is

[languid meadow]

I assume that as well

I wonder if we'll see the fortress as well

maybe

maybe not

[queen laurel]

yeah but by the condition of the atlan i'm pretty sure that dark ages will explain how that thing got absolutely broken

[languid meadow]

I also wonder if we'll see the crucible since in eternal it plays a crucial part in his backstory with the sentinels

[queen laurel]

well at least it's basically confirmed his dragon is alive

[shadow plover]

I hope we see Slayer's cheeks

[queen laurel]

Because we did see it in the eternal DLC

i think it's the same anyway

[languid meadow]

nah it seems to be a different species of drake

[queen laurel]

yeah true

[languid meadow]

Dark ages stuff

[queen laurel]

yeah

It seems the wings of that one is fine while the other one looks like it's mutilated

and replaced with Argent energy wings

[languid meadow]

Hopefully we'll get a codex entry on them in DA

also Makyr Angels are still some of my interpretations on angelic beings

[queen laurel]

yeah looking closely this seems like it's more muscular and bigger

i'm not tripping right like that one looks significantly bulkier

[languid meadow]

yeah shorter neck and bulkier build

[dapper gyro]

You seem sober for the moment.

[queen laurel]

i'm always sober i'm just an idiot

so idiotic in fact it affects me like drugs

[dapper gyro]

Try drug? Who know if it turns you back to normal by double negative effect.

[queen laurel]

i don't need to mix my stupidity with one so no

[dapper gyro]

Or you get dumber.

[queen laurel]

i'm not gonna

[languid meadow]

One thing I'll miss from eternal is the funny little UAC woman who gets more and more creepier and then more and more angry at the demons as the game goes on

[dapper gyro]

Aside from prescription drug, the only stimulant that I take nowadays is cafe.

[queen laurel]

by the end of it she's straight up worshipping slayer

[languid meadow]

I'll miss that aspect but since DA is showing more normal hell residents I hope we get something similar

hopefully some Immora guys

She's great tho great VA

[queen laurel]

yeah she really nailed the descending into madness and worshipping the savior type voice

[languid meadow]

"Can someone kill this idiot. Please?!"

[zealous copper]

can anyone teach me bad words exclusive to 40k like karkin and fraggin

[spring cairn]

I like this very cool and unique swear word they got in 40k

Tbh I don’t believe you because that’s a HH helmet and no generic unit wears a wolf head on their shoulder but ong I want this to be real

[hallow saddle]

Fuck me I'm so bored at work that I'm considering doing some work

[jade holly]

So that leaves Assault and Tac for champion skins then?

[wintry scarab]

from the same leaks, tac is imperial fists and assault is whitescar. But idk if their actually the champion skins or just a bunch of unreleased stuff stuck onto a single marine.

[jade holly]

Meanwhile us Iron Hands get nothing lmao

[wintry scarab]

youll get your turn most likely, Not this year though lol

[zealous copper]

has anyone here watched the interrogator show??

[wintry scarab]

I hope that we get some robot legs with the ironhands pack. I love me some robot legs

[hallow saddle]

Yerrr a load of sick bionics

[jade holly]

Best they can do is an iron hand for the left hand

Frankly just give me a Techmarine class smh

[wintry scarab]

I was thinking about what classes they could actually add. I think a techmarine would be cool. But i really want a scout. I constantly see people saying they want a chaplain but i just dont see that happening.

An apothecary would be cool as well.

[jade holly]

We need a Hatemonger class

[wintry scarab]

Decimus is probably the closest we are getting with that. hes like the most unhinged and angry

[raven stone]

A bit hard to imagine what other archetype there could be...

[arctic talon]

There’s a 40k helmet that’s extremely similar

[rose thorn]

I think there’s one on the named rune uh- Chaplin- thing

But that’s a wolf skull

[plush mason]

they have the Fenris pattern helmet

which is like that wolf helmet in the image

Yeah but they are significantly different

[red fern]

does anyone have any of the excerpts or know what books have actual snippets of cthonian being spoken idc abt translations of it if theyr not available im just trying to workshop backwards to find smth close ish sounding

and while im at it does anyone have a good pic of the cthonian runes transfers

this is for a good cause (my homebrew) and the only book i have w any of horus’ boys is horus rising but its at my parent’s house

[red fern]

excerpts with descriptions of what it sounds like are also ok

[rose thorn]

I’m sorry there’s like 3 cthonian

In lore

Like

[red fern]

😭

[rose thorn]

The planet?

Or the berserkers

[red fern]

no the language

that they speak on the planet tbf

[rose thorn]

OHHH

Let me check Lex

[red fern]

ive been scouring reddit and the bolter and chainsword threads

[rose thorn]

Seems like it was never fully developed lore wise tbh so you can really do what ever you want with it

Reddit says it’s guttural

[red fern]

proto indo european it is, if someone can somehow decipher it then it is no longer my issue

[queen laurel]

I'm going to be honest homie you going to have to make your own language for this one

[red fern]

noo i dont wanna make another conlang

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[raven stone]

It’s just gangsta :p

[rose thorn]

If it helps some planets literally just speak like, irl language

[rocky gale]

Why does GW hate Sisters so much

[arctic talon]

They got overnerfed from being on top of the world to the bottom of it

Wait for next slate

[rocky gale]

They didn't even really need a nerf

[arctic talon]

They did need a nerf

Just

Not all of that lol

[rocky gale]

Before the last dataslate they were at like 50%

They were solidly middle of the pack

[arctic talon]

Not that one

The dataslate before that one

Is the nerf I’m talking about

The more recent one was completely unnecessary

[rocky gale]

Oh yea

[arctic talon]

Sorry

Should have specified

[rocky gale]

Like the previous nerf was point based and brought us back down because we were too far ahead, but then they decided to just completely gut our miracle dice economy for seemingly no reason

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Either revert the points or revert the faith dice

I’d rather them revert dice

Because it’s more “fun”

Imo

[rocky gale]

Gutted our Miracle dice economy, while simultaneously releasing a new detachment that revolves around spending excess miracle dice

[queen laurel]

We call that balancing maneuver the games workshop special

[burnt kraken]

what is with slaneesh

If you can give birth to a chaos god why can't you kill one

[storm jungle]

what are you even saying

[queen laurel]

Because again they are literally concepts that became able to think because of belief

[burnt kraken]

The elves gave birth to a chaos god

Why can't we unbirth one

[storm jungle]

You do realise like

[burnt kraken]

Like if everyone washed

[storm jungle]

theres a lot that goes into the process right

[burnt kraken]

Would nurgle stop

[storm jungle]

this is the same as asking IRL

"We should just stop all wars"

wanna go try that

see how it works

[queen laurel]

Yeah they are literally in everyday life

[burnt kraken]

Yes but hypothetically

[queen laurel]

It's basically impossible to get rid of them

[storm jungle]

theres no hypothetically

its about the same vein of question and logic lol

[queen laurel]

Yeah there is no hypothetical no buts no theories no nothing

You cannot get rid of a chaos god

[burnt kraken]

Why didn't slaneesh exist before the elves? Were people not hitting the griddy before the elves? Did the discover it?

[rocky gale]

The thing about the birth of Slaanesh is that they were birthed into the Warp and the Warp exists outside of our concepts of time

[storm jungle]

Because there was no culmination of power similiar to it.

Read the lore.

Please

[burnt kraken]

How

[rocky gale]

So when the Eldar birthed Slaanesh, they made it so Slaanesh always existed

[storm jungle]

Read.

jesus lmao

[queen laurel]

I think it's impossible to ask him to do that

[storm jungle]

Yeah true

this is like asking "why do people kill each other, they should stop doing that its pretty dumb"

[burnt kraken]

My lore knowledge comes from YouTube

[storm jungle]

Yeah

that explains a lot

lmao

[queen laurel]

That explains a lot

[rocky gale]

We can tell

[storm jungle]

"Just stop being evil"

"No"

[burnt kraken]

I understand that this is impractical

[queen laurel]

Then why are you asking

It's literally impossible

[burnt kraken]

Because it's interesting

The birth of slaneesh means that chaos gods aren't eternal, they have a starting point

[storm jungle]

They are eternal

the lore says as much

[storm jungle]

👆

They feed from literally every single sentient species in the galaxy.

[burnt kraken]

Oh

[queen laurel]

Yeah just a literally a random pub brawl

[rocky gale]

When Slaanesh was born they suddenly existed across all time

[queen laurel]

Is gonna feed khorne

[rocky gale]

So they existed before they were born

[burnt kraken]

So if it happens once then time fuckery means it was always like this

Or what

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much. The Warp is liquid bullshit

[burnt kraken]

Okay

[queen laurel]

It's literally a dimension where nothing makes sense

That's the entire point of it

[burnt kraken]

Emperor please deliver us inshallah

🙏

[storm jungle]

no

[rocky gale]

Yea like the Eldar empire technically had shrines to worship Slaanesh even though the Empire ended when Slaanesh was first born. It's time nonsense.

[burnt kraken]

I want electricity and hot cocoa in my hivecity slum apartment

[burnt kraken]

Whoa

[queen laurel]

Very well you are now executed for unreasonable demands

[burnt kraken]

:c

At least I won't suffer eternally

[storm jungle]

I mean you will

i hope you like getting your asshole torn open by daemons

[burnt kraken]

I thought only psykers did that

Or it was only done to them

[rocky gale]

All souls go to the warp

[burnt kraken]

The rest dissolve and get eaten

[queen laurel]

Oh buddy it's because they like psychic souls because it's more delicious

[burnt kraken]

So you don't feel

[queen laurel]

But that doesn't mean they won't pass on normal human soul

[storm jungle]

You very much do feel

its your soul lmao

[queen laurel]

Also yeah like

It's your soul

[final spruce]

Yup and depending of the writer not even the Emperor protects your soul

[burnt kraken]

So when you die you do suffer forever

[queen laurel]

If you're a human yes

[storm jungle]

The Emperor only protects like handpicked individuals which is like 1 amidst trillions to endless numbers

[spring cairn]

like me

[queen laurel]

And you know your soft served hive city ass ain't going to be one of them

[arctic talon]

Not suffer forever

But it’s gona suck until your soul dissolves

Then you won’t feel anymore

[burnt kraken]

But time isn't real

[arctic talon]

Yes

[burnt kraken]

So

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

you're french and german, you're going to super-hell

[burnt kraken]

How do the logistics of this work

[arctic talon]

Good question

[storm jungle]

theres no logistics

you die

you go to the Warp

[rocky gale]

Yea like the difference between psyker soul and regular soul is your soul is McDonalds saver menu burger and the psyker soul a burger made by Gordon Ramsay

[storm jungle]

lol

[queen laurel]

Yes but when you enter in the warp you become subjected to its horrible laws

Which means that you will feel it

Very very painfully

[spring cairn]

super heaven*

[storm jungle]

not on my watch

[rocky gale]

Like your the Daemons aren't gonna paticularly enjoy your soul and won't remember how good it was, but you're still going to get eaten

[burnt kraken]

Aren't there calmer areas of the warp

[queen laurel]

The day that lambda goes to heaven is the day that we all fall

[burnt kraken]

Also can souls do anything in the warp apart from being abused

[arctic talon]

If it’s strong enough

Big if

[queen laurel]

Yes but even the calmer areas have horrific non-aligned warp entities and creatures in it

That will rip you a new one

[rocky gale]

Psyker souls sometimes can depending on their power levels

[arctic talon]

Me when wasps

[storm jungle]

me when oviposition

[spring cairn]

yes because reality is only held up by my own perception of it so when I die you will all dissolve

[burnt kraken]

You're going to the warp instead of brazil

[storm jungle]

same thing to be fair

[arctic talon]

Time is linear in Brazil

[burnt kraken]

Depends

[wintry scarab]

To the people that play SM2, what chapter do you have your tactical marine set to? (if your customization is lore inaccurate, you are lesser)

[burnt kraken]

Why isn't there a "lofi hip hop study mix" chaos god

There are strong emotions of happiness and stuff. Sometimes.

Pleasure worlds exist

[final spruce]

It does

its Slaneesh

[burnt kraken]

Inb4 slan

Right

[storm jungle]

Why would happiness matter, they feed from suffering

Pleasure Worlds are also shitholes

[final spruce]

Yeah in 40k the warp deforms everything and pushes it to 1000%

[arctic talon]

Mfw the noble points at me

[queen laurel]

Yeah also literally suffering is abundant and warhammer

[burnt kraken]

Yeah but why isn't there a choas god who's just a chill guy and feeds off of chill moments

[storm jungle]

Because they feed from suffering more

lol

[arctic talon]

Because they prolly got killed

[queen laurel]

Me being a lonely servant and suddenly i need to catch smoke because a noble wanted me to

[arctic talon]

Suffering also feeds more

Smaller daemons get eaten up

By bigger ones

[final spruce]

If there was he’d be so weak he’d get low diff by any actual daemon

[burnt kraken]

man

kicks pebble

[storm jungle]

stop looking for happy rainbow times in 40k

[burnt kraken]

Do blanks at least not suffer forever in the warp

When they die

[queen laurel]

Yeah look homie i'm going to be honest i'm going to throw you at the mouth of a giant crocodile in warhammer if it means i can survive for five more seconds

[arctic talon]

We don’t know enough about how blank souls work

It’s an “anti” soul

[burnt kraken]

Really?

[arctic talon]

So to speak

[queen laurel]

Yeah the place where their soul is supposed to be has a endless void that sucks up soul energy so to speak

That's why they negate psychic powers

And also makes people very uncomfortable

[arctic talon]

They still do have a soul, losing it makes them go braindead

But it’s weird

[queen laurel]

Yeah that but

It's the void in them that's really we don't know about

[burnt kraken]

40k survival plan:
Pray to be born a blank
Commit suicide

Profit

[storm jungle]

[burnt kraken]

It's literally the only way to prevent eternal suffering

Every other path leads to it

[queen laurel]

Who is going to tell him

[burnt kraken]

U just said we dunno how blanks work

[raven stone]

I mean, Necrons used to harvest blanks, but not sure if that is still a thing now.

[storm jungle]

Its been retconned since 5th edition

[raven stone]

Damn.

[storm jungle]

Bro you dont even read, you are the last person to make corrections

[queen laurel]

Yeah too costly to do

[raven stone]

Lorecat is good cat

[queen laurel]

Yeah no i'm not the greatest warhammer lore guy here but like homie read the lexi a little

[arctic talon]

Honestly the thing with blanks is

We don’t know how their soul interacts with the warp once their body is gone

For all we know it’s even fucking worse

[raven stone]

gotta hit the 40k lore books again at some point…

[burnt kraken]

I mean

If psykic powers exist from a spectrum

Completely blank to basically god

And the more you go towards gifted, the better your soul tastes

Would it not reasonably follow that going towards the blank would be worse and worse

[queen laurel]

Well here's the thing

When you go to the warp it can kind of just negate that advantage

Remember just because you're a blank doesn't mean that you can't be overpowered magically

[arctic talon]

Blanks do have a breaking point for their powers yeah

They can only negate so much

Sufficiently strong stuff can ignore a blank field

[queen laurel]

Yeah in warhammer you see enough brute force can usually solve a problem

That's a nice powerful demon here's 1,000 tanks shooting at it

[burnt kraken]

pfp checks out

Haha lasgun bad
Here's 10 million

Oh i actually have an armor question

On space marines, why are their shins and shoulders so heavily armoured?
Their chest and upper leg which is arguably more important is not as thick or armoured

[arctic talon]

Out of universe aesthetics/it looks cool on the minis

In universe no fucking clue

Also the big shoulders are def part of sculpturing limitations back in the day

[languid meadow]

^ it's like 99% this

They could also use it like a shield by lifting their arms and shoulders to block stuff but it's still just because the minis

Thank god the pauldrons have been getting smaller now

[burnt kraken]

In my head i justified the shin with thinking that they would require a much larger surface area on their feet tj support all that weight
