dusk patrol

Conan is still the most iconic archetype

rose thorn

He’s the basis for the idea

Sword and Sorcery is a genre that is described as following certain Hyborian thing

Red Sonja was great, I will not accept any slander of it

I think the rule actually came in after WW2.

crystal forum

it doesn't count as porn if it's slightly obscured

and porn in japan is straight up banned i believe

opaque coyote

It isn't.

#

You just need to pixelate it

#

And

#

That's it

#

That's literally it

#

Why even have that

gray umbra
#

But why is there so much hentai

opaque coyote
#

Cause porn isn't actually banned in Japan

#

Just censored

#

As for why there's so much of it. Idk

storm jungle

because japanese people are degenerates

But point being the 3 big boys of East Asia (S Korea, Japan, and China) all eventually decided to Capitalist harder

crystal forum

I'm not totally sure of how the government holds its power but it's not like south korea where Huawei owns the president

Just at different times

Instead of the USA's more hands off approach so they're more left economically... at least compared to the USA

the main thing here is the means of production are absolutely not controlled by the workers in china. i need to look up if unions even exist over there

arctic talon
#

they do not

#

Unions are illegal lol

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Also Taiwan was pretty right leaning as it was a facist nation until the KMT fell out of power

#

it had a command economy still and the economy def wasn't in the peoples hands lol

opaque coyote
#

They have ONE union that's legally allowed in China

#

The All China Federation fo Trade Unions

arctic talon
#

I forgor that union existed

opaque coyote
#

But you cannot make an independent union

arctic talon

also its literally part of the CCP

isn't it lol

opaque coyote

i imagine a real union would crash the chinese economy at this point KEKW_ogryn

Which is why I said technically

#

It exists

China is gonna crash hard here probably soon

China's economy already went through a few micro crashes

the bank crisis

the whole real estate crash

that's what they keep saying

dusk patrol
#

The government just covers stuff up

arctic talon
#

I mean the Bank crisis was huge lol

dusk patrol
#

They’re not as strong as they make out

arctic talon
#

it made a lot of people in China angry at the CCP

opaque coyote

since they couldn't withdraw their money

If they take advantage of the fact that we basically gave up a lot of our soft power

And also said cult is also having their human rights violated.

Or try to takeover it or whatever

will you bet that a war will not be declared at all in the next 4 years

All war or war war

Between Canada and the US? Yes

opaque coyote

Or Greenland or Denmark

crystal forum

any war that US declares except drug war or some bullshit

We'd probably break out into Civil War before declaring war on an actual country tbh

gray umbra

Trade war?

arctic talon

trade war isn't a war

crystal forum

trade war does not count

actual war

arctic talon

thats just chucking economic stuff at each other

No because it’s not impossible, but with the Canada thing

As dumbfuck as it is

Oh i think all govts realize its easier to have another group fight for their interests

arctic talon
#

also the US hasn't declared war since 1942(technically) 💀

It’s also typical Trump, he’s just smoke screening what else he’s doing

which is crazy to think about

Anyways

I don’t wanna have this conversation

What do each of the Salamanders battle companies specialize in?

dusk patrol
#

And I shouldn’t have started it

crystal forum
#

you started it

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
gray umbra
#

I have this idea for a slaanesh corrupted salamanders chapter called the Bad Dragons

dusk patrol
#

I don’t know them all off the top of my head but they have most typical battle companies

#

Also one that specializes in burning heretical civilians

lament shoal
#

Also, does anyone know if their successor chapters also have the same geneseed mutation that causes the change in skin and eye color?

dusk patrol
#

Doesn’t seem so

#

The skin is from Nocturne

Salamanders gets worried only for the Black Templar to get bumrushed

@lament shoal
1st company: veterans and terminators
2nd company: defending nocturne and imperial worlds, the "best" aside from 1st company
3rd company: incendiary weapons and extermination of rebels and civllian uprisings and xenos/heretic sympathizers
4th company: Close combat and close quarters firefight
5th company: lots of dreadnoughts and vehicles
6th company: Transports, infantry and heavy weapons

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

i dont buy that

gray umbra
#

Guilliman probably didnt expect it to be religious doctrine mostly

crystal forum
#

the loyalist chapters were clearly not going to rebel

gray umbra
#

Like how he saw what happened with the rest of the imperium

arctic talon
#

Also the codex was sound

#

Tbh

gray umbra
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Splitting up the legions was ultimately good

opaque coyote
#

He rebelled

arctic talon
#

Regarding tactical flexibility

crystal forum
#

also the fact that he thought he could dictate how everybody does things despite not being there during the siege and actively planning for the downfall of the imperium

lament shoal
arctic talon
#

The issue was that it was being followed perfectly to the letter down to the last minutia lol

#

Like

#

That wasn’t the intent

#

The only real restriction was “don’t legion build”

crystal forum
#

why did he nearly make dorn leave the imperium if he didn't want this

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

if anything dorn should have been the one to dictate how the imperium does things

#

he was the most important dude during the HH

gray umbra
#

Too many beefed up murder machines under a single guy

arctic talon
#

Well Dorn isn’t the best when it comes to logistics

#

Guilliman is genuinely just better at governance

#

Also Dorn literally admits he was wrong about the codex and that it’s implementation was fine

#

Lol

crystal forum
#

so he created the black templars

arctic talon
#

After his hissy fit at the iron cage

#

The Black Templars made themselves tbf

#

Lol

#

Sigismund was still disowned

#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

Also Guilliman's logic was that.

If one legion turned traitor for whatever reason, that would be terrible for the Imperium.

If only one chapter did so, then it would be much more containable.

arctic talon
#

Sigismund pretty much rounded up the most bat shit insane fists and veterans

#

To make the Black Templars

opaque coyote
#

Basically Dorn didn't approve

#

The Black Templars

#

The Black Templars are just fucking insane

crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

Guilliman actually did like how they organized after he came back though

lament shoal
crystal forum
#

name me one legion that would possibly switch

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

The issue was over thousands of years

#

We see marines fall

opaque coyote
#

He only was a loyalist because it was better than actual literal hell

dusk patrol
#

Badab is a great example

#

If they’re larger groups that becomes worse

arctic talon
#

It’s arguable they ignored the legion building part

#

But whatever

dusk patrol
#

Same if they’re in charge of lots of soldiers and shit

crystal forum
#

badab happened with shitty second founders

dusk patrol
#

It’s a basic separation of powers idea

crystal forum
#

it wouldn't have happened with ultramarines

dusk patrol
#

Ultramarines have fallen

crystal forum
#

not entire groups of them

dusk patrol
#

The point it to mitigate the chance

#

Yes

arctic talon

I mean

dusk patrol
#

They have

arctic talon

The entire 8th company fell

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

For UM during a campaign lol

lament shoal
arctic talon
#

They just ignored the no legion building clause

#

And never gave accurate numbers + stayed split up LOL

crystal forum
#

dark angels do too

opaque coyote
#

It's also why the Imperium separated the Navy and the Imperial Guard

crystal forum
#

they have so many recruits

#

also dark angel second foundings are just puppets of the chapter

opaque coyote
#

If an Imperial Guard Regiment turned traitor. They would have less of an impact because they wouldn't have much ships of their own

arctic talon
gray umbra
#

Should have been helldivers smh

crystal forum
#

that's a regiment they suck by default

arctic talon
#

Pretty much every Dark Angel successor

#

Is directly connected to the DA command structure

#

Lol

#

Which is really funny because Azreal shit himself

#

When Guilliman came to give primaris reinforcments

And was trying to come up with an excuse about why over 80% of the dark Angel sucessors were at The Rock

opaque coyote

They were considering to shoot at him

But they got official sucessors with primaris

crystal forum

what a miss on big money on their part

arctic talon
#

Rather then just maybe the black dragons

#

Are salamanders

#

Which got hard confirmed with primaris

#

So I guess they had one sucessor chapter

opaque coyote
#

Dragon spears, Covenant of Fire, Black Fire, and Dark Krakens are listed as successors

arctic talon
#

But they had almost 0 contact

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Dragonspears are actually kinda cool though

#

Idk how tf haven't they all fallen to Kuru but that goes for the flesh tearers as well

arctic talon
#

I think GW did a good job with the primaris sucessors lore wise

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Black Dragons are implied successors but

#

Not confirmed

arctic talon

They’re confirmed

#

With the short story

They got sent primaris grey shield sallies

Well there you go

By an inqusitor

It’s a meme

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

so it's a missing primarch!!!!!!

opaque coyote
#

But then again, the last time they canonized a joke it went poorly so maybe it's for the better

dusk patrol
#

The meme came from them having basically every chapter and some traitor relics in DoW 2 or whatever

Which definitely aren’t canon

Worst part is that the Impressionist showed proof that it was actually his voice lmao

Great slop maybe

opaque coyote
#

Mmm slop

#

My favorite

storm jungle
#

Ive only ever seen people dislike his books if it had like queer elements

#

which is pretty on point

#

otherwise no idea what you mean

dusk patrol
#

The writing, dialogue, endless fourth wall wink wink moments

#

Some are less bad

#

He internet loves them cause he basically inserts memes in

storm jungle
#

I have never seen anything of the sort.

#

I think you are reading into it too much

#

and thats okay

dusk patrol
#

Rites of Passage is probably his best book

storm jungle
#

Ehhh nah

#

Its great but Brutal Kunning is up there

opaque coyote
#

Jokes aside, here's an unrelated thing.

The Rhino from Spiderman has like zero backstory. All other of Spidey's villains had a serious backstory, but the Rhino didn't.

In the 90's cartoon, he literally just suddenly appears.

Spiderman asks him where he comes from and Rhino just says "Jersey" and then charges straight at him.

late osprey
#

best work is assuredly that one comic where a commissar gets covered in green slime and the orks think he's an ork too

dusk patrol
#

It’s fine

late osprey
#

so he shoots a stompa in the engines

storm jungle
#

Its great

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

again i feel like you are really exaggerating

dusk patrol
#

I’m not

crystal forum
#

immediate assault

storm jungle
#

You definitely are

dusk patrol
#

I’m allowed to dislike his writing and how he writes dialogue and characters

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

You are like one of the few people ive seen to say anything bad about his books.

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

so you are definitely in the minority

#

and again, thats okay

crystal forum
dusk patrol
#

The 40k fandom also loves Rylanor and shitty “I’m a tank” Ork memes

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

I don’t really care what’s popular

#

@viral halo would you kill me if i was from NYC

#

Speaking of

#

I just wrapped up Burtal Kunting a week ago

dusk patrol
#

Appealing to popularity is amusing

#

I guess space marines are best then

storm jungle
#

Okay redditor

forest orbit
#

Is Big Dakka the next novel in the series?

storm jungle
#

Yes it is

dusk patrol
#

It’s a sharp drop in quality unfortunately

crystal forum
#

eternal likes the salamander books because nothing ever happens

storm jungle
#

it picks up like kinda straight afterwards

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

its pretty fun and again liked a lot, ive read it so can confirm

forest orbit
dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

I think the only downside is it kinda shows the dark eldar as idiots but its like in a sub-realm and they arent exactly not known for being not prone to do these things so unless you dont care about that its good

forest orbit
#

Yea I can live with that

dusk patrol
#

It’s just boring

opaque coyote
#

And a genuine unironic question, does the Beast series count as salamander books?

dusk patrol
#

Cause Kyme

forest orbit
#

ive been put off of Marine books after Leviathan and Sİlent Hunters so i need some good stuff to read

dusk patrol
#

The concepts are pretty good

dusk patrol
#

They’re barely in it

storm jungle
#

Then BigDak should be right at home for you

forest orbit
#

Aight ill go buy it now

#

well buy

storm jungle
forest orbit

Anyway yes thanks.

storm jungle
#

Just like our existence

but it is what it is

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Same as for example the Stronos books have good ideas but pretty poor dialogue sadly

crystal forum
#

eternal the arbiter of slop

forest orbit

forest orbit
#

darn

crystal forum
gray umbra
#

As much as i respect my fellow new yorkers

crystal forum
#

so not at all

dusk patrol
#

It’s the same as reading fluff

gray umbra
#

I believe in equal treatment

dusk patrol
#

There’s also books I think are well done but the lore is stupid

crystal forum
#

i found the two tamest north easterners

dusk patrol
#

Or the ideas are lame or whatever

crystal forum
#

can't believe this

dusk patrol
#

Like genuinely Kymes ideas for the salamanders are solid in the Tome of Fire trilogy

#

He’s just a terrible writer

#

And sometimes the unholy alignment of shit ideas and shit writing takes place

crystal forum
#

i need to find a texan in here now and ask their opinion on californians

dusk patrol
#

Depends on the Texan

#

There’s a lot of them

gray umbra
#

Im more of a class warfare sorta guy

dusk patrol
#

Generally they’re gonna think Texas is better you’ll be shocked to learn

crystal forum
#

i've met very nice texans who act like californians are sub humans

storm jungle
#

🤨

dusk patrol
#

Just like Californians are often gonna say Cali is better

crystal forum
#

im talking about the great calitexas migration

storm jungle
#

American states are all dumbasses in many ways so it works out i think.

dusk patrol
#

That or you get the complete inverse

crystal forum
#

maine is half of it

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

You don’t know what New England is clearly

forest orbit
#

Will say I did think it was a bit clunky in some parts in the beginning with all the nobility names and shit

#

fucking "Brobantis"

storm jungle
#

LOL

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

Yeah ill admit the goofy ass names took me off to before i got used to it

#

theres a lot of info dumping on the rival navi houses in the beginning as well

dusk patrol
forest orbit
#

Yeh, I got a bit lost at first

#

especially with Cheta just ALWAYS listing them off randomly

#

or them making sudden appearances like assholes

storm jungle
#

Well its lore accurate at least KEK

dusk patrol
#

I used to know all the capitals but

#

It’s been awhile

forest orbit
#

Tru

crystal forum
forest orbit
#

tho i did like how likable Cheta was surprisingly

crystal forum
#

dont you fuckers have 50

forest orbit
#

especially as a navigator of all things

dusk patrol
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

She very much starts off that way

dusk patrol
#

And most are much easier to identify

storm jungle
#

especially when you learn she had her husband killed lol

forest orbit
#

right at the beginning of the book too KEKW_ogryn

crystal forum
#

ok rhode island is indeed microscopic

forest orbit
#

it did make me laugh ill admit

dusk patrol
#

No one thinks about New Hampshire or Vermont

forest orbit
#

since she admits it like out of nowhere

storm jungle
#

Well shes internal monologuing

dusk patrol
#

Rhode Island is easy obviously

storm jungle
#

and she is a huge bitch

crystal forum
#

i think about vermont when those fuckers hog the left lane in montreal

forest orbit
#

Mfer was storing alien artifacts like crazy too

crystal forum
#

DRIVE FASTER

forest orbit
#

no wonder she dumped his ass

storm jungle
#

Real.

#

Though theres some other reasons she lists off too

forest orbit
#

Oh right I forgor... 💀

gray umbra
#

Better than the open lane pattern motherfuckers

dusk patrol
#

Most of the states are easier for me to remember besides there

#

Although I get mixed up with the uh

forest orbit
#

Though I did like how the Inquisitor lists off his awful hobbies that look incrimiating as shit

dusk patrol
#

The four corners ones

gray umbra
#

Or the let me yeet through 5 lanes to get to the exit lane

storm jungle
#

You mean especially when he still gotten rid of his stupid hobby items yet? KEK

crystal forum
#

i love how Maine is 80% badlands

forest orbit
#

YEP KEKW_ogryn

#

i think that was one of my fav parts of the book

storm jungle
#

The fucking- uh

crystal forum
#

and somehow every stephen king story takes place there

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

the one where shes planning/making a mental note to get rid of the xenos stuff but hasnt gotten around to it and gets caught red handed? lol

forest orbit
#

Thats the one KEKW_ogryn

#

did make me go audibly "fuck" even if it was a mostly comedic scene

dusk patrol
#

Dakotas have super low population for their size

#

Alaska is Alaska

storm jungle
#

Yeah the Inquisitor in the novel is like

#

very very compliant-ish with the situation

dusk patrol
#

Washington, Wyoming, Minnesota, Colorado

forest orbit
#

Yep but its a case of Cheta being a navigator

#

so it makes sense at least

storm jungle
#

No yeah if it was anyone else they'd be getting shot

dusk patrol
#

It’s cool driving through them

crystal forum
forest orbit
#

Lol yeah

dusk patrol
forest orbit
#

Though I really wasnt expecting the twist with the Inquisitor I just assumed the rogue trader thing was just a lucky circumstance

dusk patrol
#

It’s still mostly wilderness

storm jungle
#

Well the hints for it are splayed out through her intro

#

the... fuck i forgot her name

forest orbit
#

Shit same

#

I only remember Cheta because she sounds like some candy product or something

crystal forum
#

drivimg through new england rural is wild you come accross big cities in the middle of nowhere that look stuck in the 1800's

gray umbra
#

90 percent of new york is like the city

dusk patrol
#

I really enjoyed those areas though, it’s so wild driving for so long and seeing no civilization

gray umbra
#

And some suburbs

storm jungle
#

I hate how you worded it but yeah its the only way I remember her too lol

#

also the uhhh scribe guy

#

dusk patrol
#

Also being able to see the stars

storm jungle
#

I wouldnt say minor

well kinda

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

uh, maybe mid-tier minor

forest orbit
#

thats one way to put it lol

#

but yeah I assumed he was just gonna be a throwaway character ngl or get horrifically killed

storm jungle
#

I was surprised he wasnt honestly

gray umbra
#

Come to the boroughs some time

forest orbit
#

The giveaway for me was mentioning he has a fucking husband KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

Oh yeah

#

"two days till retirement"

#

"I have two cats at home"

forest orbit
#

storm jungle

gray umbra

You will destroy your cars suspension in a single drive through

storm jungle
#

dusk patrol
#

It’s a cool thing to do once or twice

forest orbit
#

me neither but hey you never know

dusk patrol
#

It has some cool stuff

forest orbit
#

then again he was pretty high up in the chain

gray umbra
#

It depends on if you like walking and staring at shit

forest orbit
#

i think

gray umbra
#

But when you live here you kind of run out of things to do

storm jungle
#

He was a senior to some old asshole so he wasnt that high up i dont think lol

forest orbit
#

damn 😔

dusk patrol
#

Like Boston is cool if you like the history and style of the city

storm jungle
#

But at least he makes it to the end which is also double nice

dusk patrol
#

But if you don’t then

crystal forum
#

i'd rather go to boston

dusk patrol
#

Probably shouldn’t go lol

forest orbit
#

Like you said im legit surprised they didnt kill him off lol

#

especially by that chaos asshole

dusk patrol
#

It’s a very odd city in its layout

gray umbra
#

Boston has a good vibe for singles

storm jungle
gray umbra
#

Their zoning laws are weird as shit though

dusk patrol
#

The people were funny

#

At Boston

#

I wouldn’t want to live there but

storm jungle
#

hes not exactly the most special character but he does have a lot of swag at least if thats how you can word it Kek

forest orbit
#

dude his intro with the cult of the serpent guys is so good

dusk patrol
#

It’s a cool city

forest orbit
#

that one asshole boasting about his KD ratio

#

then he just goes "I destroyed entire planets, the fuck are you gonna do?"

storm jungle
#

Its funny since the rest of the cult is like so pathetic too

forest orbit
#

well he says so himself lol

crystal forum
#

what even is your state eternal

forest orbit

crystal forum
#

so that's why you were weird when i talked about my time in chicago

storm jungle
#

though the convenience of how that cultist prick gets all of them is pretty amusing

forest orbit
#

the nightclub secret meeting i can get

#

but that fallen jet stuff was eh

dusk patrol
#

I’m not from Illinois but yes

storm jungle
#

Hey maybe it was fate staregryn

#

#

True....

and I do like Cheta so i let it pass anyway

dusk patrol
#

Well I believe you love it

#

But yeah I can’t stand it

gray umbra
#

It depends on if i feel like being productive or not

forest orbit
#

It helps that she does have a good personality to go with it

dusk patrol
#

So that’s annoying but I like the downtown largely

storm jungle
#

well idk about "good"

#

shes still a huge cunt

forest orbit
#

Lmao I mean as in writing wise

dusk patrol
#

It’s nice being able to go to games and the amount of teams and concerts and shit which happen there

storm jungle
#

ahh

dusk patrol
#

I probably wouldn’t want to live there but

#
