Marines Malevolent

[late osprey]

well marines can be malevolent to xenos and thats less of a big deal

[crystal forum]

there's no way they contribute to DW

they're already part of ordo malleus

[dusk patrol]

Killteam “Acceptable Casualties”

Marine Malevolent squad lead, Red Talon Techmarine, Flesh Tearer Librarian, Star Phantom Devastator, Mortifactor Sniper, Executioner Assault marine, Minotaur Apothecary.

[late osprey]

they do it malevolently

send their shittiest member

[dusk patrol]

Not exorcists

And yes they do

Exorcists also do

[vagrant fox]

I'm fairly sure you can pick them as a chapter in the Deathwatch ttrpg, along with the Minotaurs

[dusk patrol]

Although they’re often specially requested

[dusk patrol]

Yeah

[crystal forum]

"we genuinely dont care how good you guys are we are sending you in the eye of terror and expect you to die"

[winter vessel]

Hah, I call that Kill Team “It was Collateral”

[dusk patrol]

Killteam “There’s nothing friendly about my fire”

[arctic talon]

Dante did not do that smh

[late osprey]

it'd be a shitty watch captain that DOESN'T put compatible chapter cultures together

[arctic talon]

Dante’s childhood is kind of hilarious

He was a salt farmer and farmed salt

[crystal forum]

also a lamenter gets tacked on to the team at the last minute and he gets his arm chopped off during the first engagement

[dusk patrol]

Tbh it’s mostly it makes for a fun story

We have a short of a Marine Malevolent and Salamander on the same team

[late osprey]

troll watch captains

[dusk patrol]

And others

People like the stories of the friction

[crystal forum]

you know it's also fully possible for a traitor legion guy to be in DW

[late osprey]

"it'd be REALLY funny to put a crimson fist, imperial fist, and a black templar on the same team..."

[dusk patrol]

It’s half the point

[crystal forum]

so you can straight up put an iron warrior with a imperial fist

[winter vessel]

Be funny if there’s a kill team where it’s a Blood Angel and the rest are from its own successor chapters that’s like being with relatives who are awkward around each other

[late osprey]

i believe the door is slightly ajar for that yeah, but they're all blackshields

aka the most boring

[dusk patrol]

This Forgemaster

[crystal forum]

you are not surviving his leadership

[dusk patrol]

And this Watch Captain

Are on the same watch station

[arctic talon]

💀

Oh no

[winter vessel]

It’s like I’m seeing two different ends of a spectrum

[arctic talon]

At least it isn’t a red talon

[late osprey]

watch captain after a gigantic jar of amasec: "Dude. I got it. An Exorcist and a Black Templar on the same team."

[crystal forum]

the worst part of iron hands is they'll expect you to be as strong as their fully enhanced super duper bionics

[arctic talon]

Killteam killing each other

[crystal forum]

skill issue on your part

[late osprey]

the worst part is this is mechanically impossible too

tech marines are fucking bullshit in DW

[dusk patrol]

The Forgemaster too is such an expert on Necrons that they ignore that he sends all his findings back to the chapter

[arctic talon]

Tech marines just

Don’t fucking die

Lol

[winter vessel]

Got a cool axe though

[arctic talon]

Bionics are insane in FFG

[dusk patrol]

Techmarines can eventually realistically tank titans in the game

[late osprey]

their goddamn servo arm is like the strongest melee weapon in the game somehow??

[dusk patrol]

Not strongest but

[arctic talon]

It just works

[dusk patrol]

It’s very good

[arctic talon]

It’s up there

Lol

[dusk patrol]

Especially starting out

[crystal forum]

"do i look like an apothecary? just make sure your armour and bolter stay in one piece when you die"

[late osprey]

so they just one-round the boss with their bullshit gear and go "hmm. I guess flesh really IS weak innit"

[arctic talon]

Based

[late osprey]

and u have nothing u can say to them

[crystal forum]

biblically accurate iron hand

[arctic talon]

I’m sad imperium maledictum bionics aren’t as insane

As FFG’s

[winter vessel]

Any Iron Hands being in charge of a Killteam is a typical 9 to 5 ass manager

[arctic talon]

You can’t literally become the consumer of las cannons

[dusk patrol]

I had one game where I was at like, 16 toughness, +2 from bionics, and 21 armor with a storm shield which had a 55% chance to negate all damage

[arctic talon]

And survive everything

Honestly the lasgun quote coming from black crusade

Of all the FFG ttrpg’s

Is really fun

[late osprey]

whats hte lasgun quote?

[dusk patrol]

It’s very amusing because

You very easily become immune to them

[arctic talon]

The legionary who does not fear the lasgun quote

[dusk patrol]

In game

[arctic talon]

When in black crusade

[crystal forum]

that comes from a game?

gay

[arctic talon]

It’s a ttrpg

Smh

[dusk patrol]

"The Legionnaire that scoffs at a lasgun has not charged across an open field against a hundred of them."

[crystal forum]

i thought it was more than a hundred

100 lasguns is still nothing

[dusk patrol]

• Maor the Scarred, Siege-Champion of the Scargivers

[arctic talon]

I mean across an open field as one dude

You’re gona die lol

[dusk patrol]

Maybe if you’re a pussy

[crystal forum]

they'll all miss and shit their pants

they're guard

[dusk patrol]

Observe

[arctic talon]

Anything with bionics doesn’t count

Smh

[dusk patrol]

Techmarines do create some problems though

You become immune to a lot of types of enemy attacks fast

[late osprey]

guard tactics keep their shitty aim in mind

[crystal forum]

that's why you're not invited to the iron hand barbeque

[late osprey]

its why they do old school volley fire

[arctic talon]

Nah that’s why im part of it, because I face tanked a multi melta

[crystal forum]

that literally is done because 60% of the shots are going to miss

[dusk patrol]

[late osprey]

"No time for aiming, just fire!" - Lord General of the Imperial Guard

[vagrant fox]

Kind of wish there was a 2e or updated Deathwatch ttrpg lads

[arctic talon]

Maybe cubicle 7 will do deathwatch 2e lol

[vagrant fox]

Hordes can get spooky, ish

[arctic talon]

Imperium maledictum might as well be dark heresy 3e but broader

[dusk patrol]

There’s some very good homebrew things

[crystal forum]

iron hands dont respect you just for surviving stuff, do they look like blood angels?

[late osprey]

WanG is apparently the main space marine simulator these days

[vagrant fox]

I tried the Only Astartes homebrew, man it was busted but I had fun

[late osprey]

actually one thing i was debating with my friends was if a marine can SURVIVE (not tank) a direct hit of a melta

[crystal forum]

hit where

[late osprey]

like can they still be recovered and treated

like

[vagrant fox]

Sure, depends on where

[late osprey]

chest

[arctic talon]

Lore wise to the main torso no

Lol

[crystal forum]

where on the chest

[arctic talon]

That dude is fucked

[crystal forum]

they can survive losing a heart

[arctic talon]

I’d say the fact there’s a massive hole in them is the bigger issue

[late osprey]

cuz i know the marine's capacity to survive being a casualty is comically strong

i think they could survive getting hit by a plasma gun even if they're taken out of action for instance

[arctic talon]

I would say melta center mass to the chest kills them

Personally at least

[crystal forum]

melta wont instantly vaporize a hole through them it's not a multi melta, it'll take a decently sized chunk off them since the armour helps a bit

[arctic talon]

Like it can kill tanks

[crystal forum]

multi melta they're dead

[arctic talon]

I’d say a marine isn’t shit

Multi melta is 100% dead because the eat super heavies

Melta is high chance dead because they eat tanks

[crystal forum]

literally two meltas

[winter vessel]

Multi Melta is what happens when you strap three microwaves together at full power and let it run for 30 secs

[arctic talon]

Lol

[crystal forum]

i like melta technology

it's so simple

you have one melta, two meltas

[winter vessel]

I’m ashamed to say it’s become the #1 weapon for me to use in SM2

[crystal forum]

not the multi melta?

come on man

have standards

[winter vessel]

“‘Melta technology”=both

For me

[crystal forum]

multi melta is just meta

[late osprey]

its great but the fall-off for it is nuts

[crystal forum]

nothing wrong with it

[winter vessel]

Fair. Like you gotta be really in the thick of it to clean house

[late osprey]

mym ain use of it is just making assaults and vanguards hate playing the game

[crystal forum]

do all my work for me idc

i'll just neo volkite

[median star]

dont the blood angels have melta pistols but theyre not called melta

[winter vessel]

Was not expecting the neo volkite to perform the way it does

[crystal forum]

something like inferno pistol

[dusk patrol]

Infernus pistols

Idk why they’re not called melta pistols

[median star]

what if power fist but inferno pistols at end of fingers

[crystal forum]

it sucks so much against heavy nids but it's so good against little shitters and it murders flying bombs

[arctic talon]

Inferno pistols are melta pistols yeah

all melta pistols in 40k are called inferno pistols

don't ask why

[crystal forum]

aggressors almost have that

but it's flamers

also hand flamer is such a funny name

[arctic talon]

we have a melta powerfist

one moment

its deathwatch only but

you know

[crystal forum]

i was gonna say the salamanders DW guy

[arctic talon]

violence

[winter vessel]

😂 the little stub at the end of it

[median star]

that reminds me when power fist have like guns and shit attached does the barrel extending past the fist not ever result in complications

[crystal forum]

they just slap with it

[dusk patrol]

Other art of him too

[crystal forum]

i dont even fully understand how power fists work

[arctic talon]

Its a powerweapon

but hand

[crystal forum]

since they rely on blunt force

but they're power so they cut stuff

[median star]

thunder hammer but fist shaped me thinks

[arctic talon]

its contained in the power field so it doesn't matter once you're swinging

[opaque coyote]

Power fields are a field that destabilize molecules

[arctic talon]

Its just an extension of the power weapon

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/acces-denied-no-nope-nah-headshot-gif-10481869666719359459

[opaque coyote]

It doesn't matter how the field is applied

[arctic talon]

yeah that gif

[opaque coyote]

Well it kinda does

[crystal forum]

so it should be called a thunder fist

[opaque coyote]

But it'll apply no matter what

[arctic talon]

No

thunderhammers are different

[crystal forum]

yes

[arctic talon]

from a normal power hammer

[winter vessel]

The grimdark version of doing dental work

[arctic talon]

they "discharge" the powerfield

all at once

[dusk patrol]

Thunder hammers are quite a bit beyond a power hammer

[storm jungle]

The reality with warhammer equipment is you should not question it.

It is here to first look cool and nothing else.

[arctic talon]

while a powerfist/power hammer

keeps on going

[storm jungle]

Like for example how do terminators reload? In novels they magnetize mags to their armor

but on art/minis this isnt hte case

because it looks clunky and crowded

etc etc

just roll with it

[dusk patrol]

Thunder hammers are actually hard for marines to control and withstand the concussion without training and even then

[opaque coyote]

So the difference is

Thunder Hammer charges up one powerful swing that will do massive damage.

... provided that you don't miss like a dumbass (me when zealot)

Power Maul and fists keep it consistent

[arctic talon]

actually I just realized

[median star]

they all secretly have the destroyer plague

[arctic talon]

thunderhammers(seem to be) a human invention

[winter vessel]

Star field manages to suck at both on that with their weapons

[arctic talon]

Yes

a power maul/fist is like a power sword

but blunt force trauma

[opaque coyote]

The Starfield shotgun is literally them fitting a round peg in square holes

[arctic talon]

a thunderhammer is uh

[opaque coyote]

And it's fucking hilarious

[arctic talon]

BIG DISCHARGE

its why its called a thunder hammer

because its LOUD

See another example of a powerfield discharging wildly in the vaults of terra stuff

[opaque coyote]

Like it's not even a hexagon. It's literally fucking square holes

[dusk patrol]

And then there’s heavy thunder hammers the DW use

[arctic talon]

where the interrogater uses the damaged croazius

[dusk patrol]

Which have even more umph

[arctic talon]

and it explodes in her hand

[dusk patrol]

Shattered every bone in his body

[arctic talon]

because the powerfield is damaged and it "discharges"

[opaque coyote]

Do Thunder Fists exist

...

Actually probably not

[arctic talon]

when uh its not designed to contain that

[arctic talon]

as far as we know no

[opaque coyote]

That would probably just cause your arm to explode

[arctic talon]

Daemon hammers exist which are like thunderhammers but a force weapon

[dusk patrol]

Marine concussive weapons are very dangerous for normies to use

[median star]

so how the custodians have the spear gun hybrid thing does that also exist for hammers

[arctic talon]

No

[crystal forum]

and a storm shield is a power shield

[arctic talon]

but there's a sword gun hybrid

[winter vessel]

Buddy in the back was not even worth getting stabbed by lightning claws

[opaque coyote]

Instead of Thunder-like discharge, it's Joe the Daemon!

[arctic talon]

Well

its called a daemonhammer

because its used to smash greaterdaemon heads

[dusk patrol]

I appreciate they manage to give the battle shit “faces” a look of surprise

[opaque coyote]

Oh like

How the Hellguns are named... Hellguns. Wtf is the other name for them again I genuinely forgot

[dusk patrol]

Also, Dark Angel, Salamander, Imperial Fist.

Least amount of first founding chapters on a GW art Deathwatch squad

[opaque coyote]

[median star]

also with power claws do they work the same way as fist ie if they back handed with it itd do the same dmg as a power fist or are the actual blades the only powered part

[storm jungle]

Hotshot

[storm jungle]

if it has "power" in it they all work the same way

[opaque coyote]

Yeah.

...damn that's a stupid alternative name

[winter vessel]

Power toilet

[storm jungle]

and its always the "weapon" part of the weapon that does the killing/field yeah

[dusk patrol]

Hotshot can also mean a normal lasgun given the amped ammo

[storm jungle]

its why the rods on the weapon are always attached to that section

[dusk patrol]

While hellguns are specifically made for that kind of firepower always

[opaque coyote]

Makes sense yeah

[arctic talon]

tbh its always funny to be Eldar have power swords

like

[dusk patrol]

And basically always have power packs

[storm jungle]

Yeah but no author remembers this

so keep that in mind

[arctic talon]

why not just force swords

[storm jungle]

some literally say

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

"hellguns and hotshot are the same thing"

[arctic talon]

idk

[storm jungle]

so its not worth getting into

[arctic talon]

actually

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I doubt imperials in universe also remember either

[arctic talon]

I guess power swords don't need you to think

[opaque coyote]

Lore accurate fr

[arctic talon]

about using them

just press the fucking button and its on

[storm jungle]

best part of 4 0k

[winter vessel]

Inconsistency is what is consistent in 40k

[storm jungle]

you can half-ass the explanation as mistakes

[arctic talon]

while a force sword does need you to like

actively think

[storm jungle]

Too true

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/dredd-karl-urban-judge-dredd-i-said-hot-shot-gif-4959681

[opaque coyote]

I mean soldiers would probably make the same mistake irl tbh

[winter vessel]

thinks of brain aneurysm meme

[median star]

do force fist exist or is it limited to only swords

[dusk patrol]

Yeah but

[winter vessel]

Thank goodness he kept the helmet on

[dusk patrol]

Only on the GK Dreadknights

[arctic talon]

Force swords/hammers/glaives exist

[dusk patrol]

And I think their Dreads

[arctic talon]

their dreads have normal power fists

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

the dude inside is just a wizard

[dusk patrol]

There’s no real reason they can’t exist tbh

[arctic talon]

and can do wizard shit

[dusk patrol]

Just no one’s made them

Cause idk why would you

[storm jungle]

any force/power weapon can exist

[opaque coyote]

"Give me a clip"

"You mean a magazine you degenerate."

"Bro I am literally being suppressed by enemy fire, just give me ammo before I shoot you then me."

[storm jungle]

like uh

in Rites of Passage

[dusk patrol]

Hammers are cooler

[arctic talon]

forcestaff

[storm jungle]

the chaos cultist uses a power-knife

[arctic talon]

power shiv

[storm jungle]

which is never seen anywhere else minus van saar minis

[arctic talon]

well

also the alpha legion minis

[dusk patrol]

Power knives we see a fair amount

[arctic talon]

in heresy

[opaque coyote]

I'm more concerned about why that's even a thing

[storm jungle]

I mean

those are space marines

so they dont matter

[arctic talon]

are wych weapons power weapons

[winter vessel]

I die on that hill. “Say it right, you Hollywood degenerate!”

[arctic talon]

they can clash with power weapons

so like

[storm jungle]

Nah

[dusk patrol]

Discord mod, talking about people that don’t matter

[median star]

when are we getting a force chain axe

[arctic talon]

okay so its just

[storm jungle]

they are just alien sharp-thingies

[arctic talon]

some super material

[dusk patrol]

What did they mean by this?

[storm jungle]

🫵

[dusk patrol]

[arctic talon]

well klaives are power weapons

[arctic talon]

so I just thought I'd ask

[opaque coyote]

Anyways so.

Do Thunder Swords exist

[storm jungle]

No thats power-swords

[arctic talon]

besides I don't care about wych cults as much as Kabalites

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Kabalites are cooler

the coolest in fact

[sharp pollen]

guys im scab fr fr

[winter vessel]

Got quite the name for their arsenal

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but I thought like.

If thunder and power hammers are separate things.

Thunder Swords should be a thing

[arctic talon]

ngl

[sharp pollen]

skin on my fingertips is going off

[arctic talon]

Lightning claws is funny

[sharp pollen]

im scaaaab

[arctic talon]

since they're literally just

[median star]

idea number seven chain weapon but the chains of the blade are powered so power chain weapon

[arctic talon]

powerclaws

but they get their own special name

[arctic talon]

Powering each individual tooth is a nightmare

[opaque coyote]

Chain knife is just one of those weird plastic knives

[arctic talon]

which is why power fields usually just

[opaque coyote]

But chain

[arctic talon]

surround the entire wepaon

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

if its a chain weapon

with a power field

[winter vessel]

Feel like that would explode when you try to activate it

[median star]

so chain power weapons do exist

[opaque coyote]

Why the fuck does the force fork have 5 prongs tho

That is cursed

[arctic talon]

I mean that’s what the evicerator is

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

It’s got a power field

In lore

[median star]

huh

[opaque coyote]

Just a very tiny one

[arctic talon]

A low grade one

Also some fancy chain weapons get power fields

kharns axe for example

[opaque coyote]

"bro trust me power fields are rare"

[arctic talon]

And corbulo’s chainsword

[median star]

also why don't bolters usually have bayonets

[arctic talon]

Both have power fields

[arctic talon]

Not needed

[opaque coyote]

Meanwhile the random naked woman with a giant sword

[arctic talon]

Marine fist does job

[opaque coyote]

"Oh cool a power field"

[arctic talon]

I mean

They’re part of the Sororitas

They get nicer stuff

[late osprey]

ladies and gentleman

[winter vessel]

And mascara

[late osprey]

the chainfist

[storm jungle]

god i hate that

[opaque coyote]

Although ig it's more like

Powerful power fields are rare

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

Also my lord

That’s an ugly chain fist

[storm jungle]

some of the new minis have it too

[late osprey]

the biggest scam of the 41st millennium, that the individual fingers are not all little finger-sized chainswords

[storm jungle]

like the Breachers

[arctic talon]

I like the breacher chainfist

[opaque coyote]

Since it doesn't make sense to give like an expensive power fields to forces that are literally expected to die

[winter vessel]

It’s as if they weaponized the McDonald’s playplace

[arctic talon]

They’re l reusable

[late osprey]

imagine getting into a fight with some guy on the street and he has a knife, but hes not holding the knife like a normal human being

he just has it taped to his fucking wrist

[opaque coyote]

I still have no idea why that's a thing. But 40k so fuck it

[late osprey]

"haha, didnt see this coming, did you!?"

[median star]

also is their a difference that some power claws are just power fist with claws ontop of them while others the actual fingers are the claws or just artistic choice

[arctic talon]

It’s for cutting open bulkheads

[opaque coyote]

...

That actually makes sense

Shit

[arctic talon]

They function the same effectively

They just look different

[late osprey]

i mean in the arena of ridiculous weapons

[sharp pollen]

what happens to children or pregnant women when they happen to appear in imperial guard? throwing away like a waste or what?

[late osprey]

the power fist is BY FAR already ridiculous

[winter vessel]

Then you got tyberos and his choice of weapon placement

[arctic talon]

Children get sent to the Schola often

[late osprey]

if their parents die

[arctic talon]

Fanart giving him shark teeth

LAME

LAME CRINGE LAME

[late osprey]

argenta distinctly remembers growing up in the imperial guard

[sharp pollen]

pretty far from planets where a war is going on, no?

[late osprey]

presumably only going to the schola when her parents get blasted

[arctic talon]

Yeah that

[opaque coyote]

So it's the classic Imperial method of "Using DAoT era tools as weapons".

Similar to how Terminator armor was originally used as construction equipment.

[arctic talon]

Pregnant woman are usually just

Not sent to the front line

[winter vessel]

I just can’t believe he got the chain teeth at the palm of where his hand is

[arctic talon]

Not true, it’s

[dusk patrol]

[arctic talon]

Based on Reactor maintenance armor

I’d rather the mega sized Tyberos art

Then stupid ass shark parts Tyberos

[keen nova]

Do other factions have anything similar to astartes? I keep hearing how T'au Battlesuits are as armored as them. Both being equivalent to light armored vehicles. (Battlesuits being better armed of course.)

This is probably worded rather poorly, I think the term is Super heavy infantry?

[opaque coyote]

Ah.

Still fucking wild though

[sharp pollen]

i mean, what if there is a pregnant woman and then commisar says "1 week before big confrontation, get ready"

[late osprey]

most factions do actually

[arctic talon]

For elite shock troop infantry yeah there’s usually something similar

[late osprey]

tau have battlesuits, orks have nobz

[dusk patrol]

Chaos Space Marines

[sharp pollen]

or a child gets born

[dusk patrol]

[late osprey]

necrons have immortals (i think?)

[opaque coyote]

It's like the equivalent of using a hazmat suit as a fucking suit of armor.

[arctic talon]

Yeah immortals

[late osprey]

tyranids have hive guard

[winter vessel]

You are this close to making me post sgt_lonely’s artwork of this

[sharp pollen]

ah fuck my questions, this channel is a shitshow

[opaque coyote]

How fucking bad were DAoT era reactors back then

[dusk patrol]

Most factions have some equivalent

[late osprey]

technically warriors also work but hive guard iirc were explicitly made from space marine jeans

[arctic talon]

Probably get sent to die

[keen nova]

Ain't no way

[arctic talon]

I’m ngl

[median star]

i think pretty much all votann are already in powersuits and use bolters/plasma weapons if im not mistaken

[arctic talon]

Void armor is

[opaque coyote]

Better hope the water doesn't break while you're shooting down tyranids

[arctic talon]

A weird inbetween power armor and carapace

Lore wise

Similar to skitarii warplate

[late osprey]

i mean its still a military

[storm jungle]

• Nids got Warriors
• Eldar got Aspect Warriors
• Dark Eldar got Wyches/Incubi etc
• Tau got Battlesuits
• Necrons got anything that hits a space marine with a gauss/eraser gun so basically all their units, even scarabs
• Orks got anything that can also just swarm them I guess, fucking yolo
• Chaos got CSM
• Votann got uhhh idk cock and stone

[late osprey]

there's always plenty of non-shooting work to do

[viral halo]

1300 new messages since 3:30pm

[keen nova]

Oh shit, I didn't know that

[viral halo]

holy moly

[winter vessel]

In that situation she’s dying in both ways with the stressful environment

[arctic talon]

Nobs™️

[late osprey]

NOBZ

[opaque coyote]

Although they probably don't care about chemical exposure.

[storm jungle]

Digganobz

[opaque coyote]

Bwcause

[arctic talon]

Nobz are def the closest to space marines

[opaque coyote]

Imperium

[arctic talon]

In terms of like

Big scary shocktroop with good armor and guns

[opaque coyote]

Likely if somebody's pregnant, they'll just do logistics or whatever for a bit

[late osprey]

you can field a Nob Mob and they're well and capable of giving a standard squad some trouble

[opaque coyote]

Except probably not carrying really heavy boxes. Just list checking

[storm jungle]

orks are hard to gauge because you average boy can kill a space marine too

[opaque coyote]

Like

[storm jungle]

its the problem with 40k

anyone can kill anyone

[median star]

is their like a human sized equivalent to dreadnaughts or not worth

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah this is in the right order"

[storm jungle]

lmao

[keen nova]

I will be stealing cock n' stone btw

[storm jungle]

👍

[arctic talon]

Not worth

[storm jungle]

go get em

[opaque coyote]

COCK AND STONE BROTHERS! WE'RE RICH. WE'RE RICH!

[winter vessel]

Actually wait, wasn’t there like a female guardsman who was pregnant in one of the war of the beast(cluster fluck of a series) books? Like a brief excerpt of them wishing about their life outside of the Militarum before they died.

[arctic talon]

Hearthguard are the sorta marine equivalents

[sharp pollen]

id watch penal legion fuck some chaos SM

[arctic talon]

For LoV

[storm jungle]

Lmao i think so

[dusk patrol]

Yes anything can happen

[storm jungle]

i remember something like that

in a fight i mean

excuse me-

Leroy.

[late osprey]

why do you think an imperial-aligned agent thwarted the coup?

would lorgar really have been a better leader?

[vagrant fox]

who would listen to lorgar

[gray umbra]

Lorgar was always a massive crybaby

[late osprey]

you'd think nobody, so letting the coup go through would be better for the Imperium

[gray umbra]

Hes the lil bro everyone picked on

[late osprey]

except they intervened

so maybe Lorgar really was the most powerful of them all

[crystal forum]

that's angron

[winter vessel]

And ended being the true winner of all is brothers during the biggest sibling brawl in the galaxy

[sharp pollen]

at the moment, is Gooli-man 24/7 monitoring and commanding? or he has some free time?

[crystal forum]

i respect lorgar's dedication to fucking up the imperium slowly

[gray umbra]

Yeah he stepped up during the heresy and grew some balls

[late osprey]

ok unironically my theory is that Lorgar would've probably won the Horus Heresy if he was able to take it over from Horus

which is why an argonaut stepped in

[gray umbra]

Angron is the mentally ill kid who everyone knows is gonna shoot up the school one day

[crystal forum]

the heresy relied too much on horus by the end

[late osprey]

Gill Man is stuck in tax season

[sharp pollen]

i dont get the joke...

[late osprey]

He's filing taxes.

He can't do anything.

[sharp pollen]

im not american or european to laugh at jokes about taxes

[gray umbra]

Speaking of which..

I should file soon..

[raven stone]

It’s not so much that and more Horus was one of the handful of sane ones left
Not helped by Perturabo being too pissed to care.

[late osprey]

well horus did make some troll moves by the end there

[crystal forum]

it's also pretty funny how terra only won because horus died. the heretics were still winning until they had the psykic backlash

[late osprey]

like pulling perturabo off the siege

[sharp pollen]

buh, its just for the drama

[winter vessel]

Then you got Fulgrim at the siege of Terra doing whatever tf he wanted while listening to “Die Young” by Kesha

[gray umbra]

I thought everything was falling apart because horus was progressively losing his shit

[raven stone]

Worse, Horus asked Perturabo to break up his legion to support the assault.

Pert just got pissed off by that.

[late osprey]

hes literally like "argghhhh this siege on the most fortified planet ever is taking too long!!!! best siege master in the galaxy, you're fired!!!"

[sharp pollen]

horus' periods just kicked in

[late osprey]

like ???

[raven stone]

Horus lost it far slower compared to the other traitor Primarchs at Terra

[late osprey]

look

[raven stone]

Which is still a low bar

[late osprey]

all im saying is

if LORGAR was the leader of the heresy

[opaque coyote]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq51DSClW6Y

[late osprey]

things wouldve gone a lot different

[opaque coyote]

Huh sweet

[late osprey]

it'd probably be a Chaos Imperium

[crystal forum]

the horus heresy was so quick that the chaos chapters weren't fully corrupted yet. it's inevitable that they'd become a rag tag bunch of morons like the black legion if the war lasted too long

[opaque coyote]

this is a nice detail

[sharp pollen]

NOW WE GOOOON BOOOOOYS YEAAAAHHHH

[raven stone]

He did try. Literally tried to assassinate Horus before arriving at Terra.

[dusk patrol]

Chaos rejected him

Which is why he took most his legion and left

[winter vessel]

Guiliman had the worst experience throughout the siege of Terra. Him and his Legion were the equivalent of being stuck on a highway traffic jam while screaming “WERE ON OUR WAY JUST A LITTLE LONGER”

this message cannot be delivered as the emperor has blocked you

[median star]

you think curze or sanguinis might e at one point mayhaps hinted that wouldve all happened intentionally or not

[opaque coyote]

Honestly this is probably due to the fact that all of them are from different backgrounds

with huge differences

[crystal forum]

curze was too busy being a drama bitch

i love how in the NL trilogy he straight up has dementia

he forgets his first company captain died centuries ago

[opaque coyote]

Russ and Mortarion fucking hated psykers.

Magnus was like the exact opposite

in fact a little too into it to the point where he was stupi

d

well call it rune magic definitely not psyhic powers

[late osprey]

man imagine being in a legion that ends up getting a shitty primarch

id be so frustrated

[crystal forum]

finger painting magic

especially when i look out the window and see another legion getting Guilliman or something

i look back and we're stuck having to take care of angron

[crystal forum]

world eaters didn't ask for it

[crystal forum]

but they're also pissed because butcher's nails

[median star]

im surprised iron hands and iron warriors werent big psyker haters

[opaque coyote]

To be honest, Russ knows. The rune thing is mainly to ritualize it to make it safer to use.

[late osprey]

its like christmas but half the kids get rusty nails

[vagrant fox]

they should've just killed angron, the morans

[opaque coyote]

Magnus makes fun of it though because it's obviously psyker shit.

[gray umbra]

I would too

[crystal forum]

he was mistreated by the emperor so he will kill all his children

entitled much

[vagrant fox]

thus, they should've killed him

[late osprey]

"oh boy big E says we're finally getting our primarch to lead us in a glorious multi-millennia campaign"

perturabo walks in

[opaque coyote]

...ignoring the fact that the Emperor didn't even bother helping the rebellion at least and basically left his home planet a hellhole

[gray umbra]

They probably would have if he kept beating his legion members to death

[opaque coyote]

having all of his friends and adoptive family basically die for nothing

while he's left a broken mess

[crystal forum]

so that gives him the right to kill his actual sons who are 100% loyal to him

[opaque coyote]

nnnnope

[vagrant fox]

Angron should simply not have been a failure, sheer skill issue on his behalf

[opaque coyote]

not at all

[crystal forum]

the emperor killed my troops so i'll kill my next ones myself

[opaque coyote]

but i don't think he even thought about it. He was quite literally insane

[median star]

i still find it funny curze came back to his home planet to go "damn so thats how it is" and just blow it up no questions asked

[gray umbra]

He wasnt insane. He was angron

[crystal forum]

he should have found coping mechanisms that didn't include killing his soms

[gray umbra]

Nostramo was a giant fuck you to curze's entire philosophy

[crystal forum]

instead he went to khorne which literally only makes him even more ADHD

[opaque coyote]

Surprise, violence only stops crime for a bit

[crystal forum]

you can be blamed for not fixing your own issues, angron isn't a victim of circumstances he's a fucking demigod

[opaque coyote]

he's both.

he caused his own downfall

[median star]

i dont think he went more was given to by lorgar

[opaque coyote]

but part of his downfall was caused by factors out of his control

[gray umbra]

Literally all justification for the things he does is contradicted and he just becomes another deranged murderer

[opaque coyote]

it doesn't excuse him

like at all

[vagrant fox]

Well Angron did have parts of his brain replaced by a computer telling him to kill or it'd leave him in agony, because Angron was a little failure

It's hard to control yourself with that thing in

[opaque coyote]

but he literally has something that was damaging his brian

his capacity for thought was literally being melted

[crystal forum]

he could have found ways to cope, he had the entire imperium at his disposal

[gray umbra]

Yeah its really just the emperor was a bad dad

[crystal forum]

make a giant arena for killing robots or something

[opaque coyote]

the emperor himself said it was unremovable.

[crystal forum]

my ADHD isn't removable

i still find coping mechanisms

he tried NOTHING

[gray umbra]

He probably wouldnt be so deranged if they liberated the planet

[opaque coyote]

your adhd also doesn't tell you to murder people constantly and at sudden intervals

[gray umbra]

Like still aggro as fuck but at least he would be compliant

[opaque coyote]

also his brain was literally being melted

[median star]

maybe im simplifying it but i think adhd and metal murder brain worms maybe a bit different

[crystal forum]

again, coping mechanisms. he could have done so many things

use an entire planet as a killing ground

he's a PRIMARCH

[opaque coyote]

like i think you're forgetting that the butchers nails that angron and the gladiators got literally melts their brains until they can think nothing but violence

to the point where some had to be put down like rabid dogs because they could no longer think. just kill.

[vagrant fox]

I doubt it, somehow. Emperor would probably still be too much like a highrider to him

[crystal forum]

that's non primarchs

[opaque coyote]

Angron's butchers nails still affected him. Just slower.

[crystal forum]

the nails weren't removable but he didn't turn insane without chaos

[opaque coyote]

His brain was still melting but at a slower rate.

Also it kinda wasn't his choice to turn to Khorne. Lorgar literally forced him against his will

[median star]

if i recall he was on the brink of death from the nails when lorgar basically gave him to khorne

[opaque coyote]

Because he was fucking dead at the time

He literally couldn't say shit

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the man was basically on borrowed time

[crystal forum]

his path was leading to it

he did that to himself

[opaque coyote]

Again, the Butchers nails

literally melts your brain

even a primarch's

I don't think you can control actual fucking brain damage Jay

[dusk patrol]

Maybe you can’t

[crystal forum]

i hate how tragic every writer tries to make angron

at least curze and perturabo are clearly just pieces of shit

[opaque coyote]

I do concede on the fact that Angron definitely caused his own downfall. Especially to his sons.

But the violence thing was literally just... uncontrollable.

His main sin ironically was apathy.

He didn't stop his sons from nailing themselves

Or continue fighting

[median star]

pert was always going to be a dickhead curze became a dickhead because of his surroundings i think

[opaque coyote]

He just gave up

[winter vessel]

Three books, I have enough loose change to get one.

[crystal forum]

and he killed them too

acting like they'll never be good enough for him

he's the embodiment of the cycle of familial abuse

a dirtbag

[median star]

tbh they did do it while he was unconscious after they used psyker to super coma him but then again he didn't exactly stop them from continuing after he woke up

[dusk patrol]

The community is really weird and annoying with how much to tries to make them sympathetic and victims

Like, yeah they had a rough start

Well, Angron did

Curze and Perturabo had some of the easiest worlds

[opaque coyote]

His intent was to basically just get them to leave him alone.

To just let him die. But ironically lead to the opposite effect.

[crystal forum]

it's like talking about hitler's abusive father like who gives a fuck

[dusk patrol]

They make bad choices

[arctic talon]

Perturabo’s biggest issue

Was himself

Lol

[dusk patrol]

Always

[opaque coyote]

I think I like Angron the most in being a dickhead. Because part of the reason why people are dickheads is because of uncontrollable factors.

But they make it worse through their own choices.

[storm jungle]

Shit, uhhh

[crystal forum]

that's called neglect

[winter vessel]

It’s in my free time

[median star]

pert literally had gmans upbringing almost identically and still came out a dickhead granted he did have that thing were i think its said he could always subconsciously see the eye of terror

[arctic talon]

Not Leviathan

Imo

[winter vessel]

At least worthwhile

[arctic talon]

Well his inferiority complex and refusal to accept praise

Was also like

[vagrant fox]

Dark Imperium was at least decent in many parts

[arctic talon]

His own fault

[opaque coyote]

Yup. That was the beginning of his downfall for me.

Not the literal brain melting nails.

It literally just makes you kill uncontrollably btw. Like it activates at random times.

Like you can just be reading and suddenly the nails activate

[crystal forum]

i hate the fact that he's depicted as the nicest primarch before the nails it's such pointless information to make him look more tragic

it serves 0 purpose other than make him look more tragic

[median star]

like ferrus,corax,vulkan,russ all definitely didnt have great child hoods but turned out relatively well

[storm jungle]

• Leviathan is not great, if you want a mindless space marine book where Nids win at the end get it but otherwise its not much. The Marines got no idea how tyranids operate even tho they are ultramarines and have fought two fucking wars against them and the novel largely explores nothing about the 4th Tyrannic War aside from introducing some of the new units.

• Dark Imperium is Ok but its kinda whatever and also one in a series but it again doesnt really explore much and is just a bolterporn novel.

• Saints and Martyrs is hit/miss unless you are a big Sororitas fan.

[vagrant fox]

The nails also just kind of make you feel pain from doing anything that isn't tearing a mans ass wide open with your hands, it's wacky stuff. The Imperium should use it more

[crystal forum]

archeotech

[opaque coyote]

...because some people are nice before they become piece of shit? Like that's a thing.

the butchers nails used by regular world eaters are alibaba versions

To be honest, the only other voiced depiction of Magnus has like

the most generic voice ever

so

yeah

[storm jungle]

I mean

okay so starting off

in the novels its established and SAID CONSTANTLY

[winter vessel]

Did they use actual metal for that thing?

[storm jungle]

that the throne is impractical

and it literally damages/wounds the owner

its made to be purposefuly uncomfortable as well so the ruler actually feels the pressure of their role

[arctic talon]

Yes

Not 100%

But yeah it uses actual metal for the prop

[crystal forum]

you should see the approved throne art

[arctic talon]

it's massive

in the novels its gigantic

[dusk patrol]

But I get why they didn’t want to do that

[storm jungle]

yeah it literally costs too much lol

its VERY difficult

[dusk patrol]

Also, in GoT it kinda has a nice symbolism of the legend being more than the actual thing

[storm jungle]

that too yeah

[dusk patrol]

It’s also super dangerous

[storm jungle]

YEP

which is ironic

but you get the point lmao

[crystal forum]

even if they made the swords out of simple pieces of aluminum it would cost so much to CNC or god forbid forge
