#

Are there any marine chapters that are actually what the community thinks Salamanders are?

#

Other than the Lamenters, poor guys

rose thorn
#

THERE WAS AN AOS UPDATE

#

THEY FORGKT TO MAKE. A POST

young pecan
#

When the age is sigma Idk fantasy

rose thorn
#

After age of chaos

young pecan
#

The poorly-written age of chaos sadge

rose thorn
#

Nah that’s end times

#

Age of chaos was the second apocalypse

young pecan
#

Oh I figured that was classified as the same thing

vagrant fox
rose thorn
#

It’s the second time that chaos won

young pecan
#

There was a recorded period after end times? I figured it ended with the universe exploding how it did

rose thorn
#

@queen laurel all of kruleboyz got buffed

rose thorn
#

And they repopulated the mortal realms

#

And then chaos went and conquered the multiverse and then conquered the mortal realms

young pecan
#

Damn

#

Is the lore a good read?

rose thorn
#

VERY

young pecan
#

I stopped around when he did that but didn't see that chaos won a second time

#

He also invited very bad fellows

#

Which was a choice

rose thorn
#

Look at all the factions on the warhammer store

#

And then tell me what looks cool

#

And I’ll suggest books

#

All the factions have fully developed independent lore

young pecan
#

I already know I loved the lizardmen in TWH3 when I played

#

Anything good for them?

rose thorn
#

Awesome! They are super important

#

Let me check their books

outer wave
#

Mags, do you know when the Ogors are getting their new models?

#

Or new anything?

rose thorn
#

Basically confirmed

#

They are getting a refresh

outer wave
#

Do we have a date or nah?

rose thorn
#

Mope

#

Nope

outer wave
rose thorn
#

Probably mid edition

#

Or half way though I mean

dusk patrol
#

Where’s the comma Elite

outer wave
#

I hope to be there when the models come out

#

Not to buy them but to oogle at them

arctic talon
rose thorn
arctic talon
#

Who doesn’t like staring at new plastic

#

Tbh

outer wave
#

True!!!

young pecan
#

Also can it be picked up with only a lil AoS knowledge

rose thorn
#

But I highly suggest battletome

#

If you want, their army box is really cheap

#

And the 3rd edition battletome has so so much lore

young pecan
#

Even if I don't play tabletop?

rose thorn
#

AOS is really good game tbh, they are a fun paint too

#

But without table top I can probably find a pdf of the third edition book

#

One good news is the serpahon in AOS are the same ones from WHFB

#

They have quite a few short stories

young pecan
#

That means the lizards?

rose thorn
young pecan
#

Sweeeet

rose thorn
#

Basically what they did was they got in their space ships

#

Flew into space

#

Saved dragons from going extinct

young pecan
#

Holy based

rose thorn
#

And helped sigmar make a plan to kill chaos

outer wave
#

Do they got lizardmen riding dinosaurs riding dragons?

outer wave
#

If not, I think they're cringe and stupid and dumb and lame

rose thorn
#

They gave the eggs to Sigmar

outer wave
rose thorn
#

No

#

Stormcasts do

young pecan
#

I wonder if they see the dinos as distant family members or something entirely different

rose thorn
#

You can use them in seraphon tho actually

#

With the regiment of renown

#

You can bring a knight draconous and a draconous guard

#

Also your seraphon can be as good or evil as you want

young pecan
#

Did any of the big name lizardmen survive end times or is it just the same faction of lizardmen?

rose thorn
#

They evolve depending on where they are born

rose thorn
#

They survived

#

And the souls of the ones they like got recycled

#

There’s someone who’s believed to be the reborn version of the white one

young pecan
#

So some of the lords from TWH3 were brought into AoS by recycling?

rose thorn
#

Yes kinda

young pecan
#

I know nothing about their lore but they played really fun in the game

rose thorn
#

Their souls are reusable

arctic talon
#

Kroak is alive

rose thorn
#

Yea

#

Yeha gor rok gor’s soul reused for a guy named Kro-Jax

arctic talon
#

Oxyotol is implied to be alive still in the realms of chaos

#

Emphasis on implied because I’m not sure who else could be using a blowpipe and killing chaos followers and daemons

rose thorn
#

you can use him for your cold one(?) i think thats what the foot hero is called

#

but hes an underworlds warbadn

#

which is their card game

#

thats super super good

#

@young pecan I suggest the short story all is foretold, it’s like 4 dollars and helps give you a feel for the relationship between seraphon and the rest of order

#

i will try to find more books when i can

crystal forum
#

weird cover

young pecan
young pecan
#

I think foot soldiers were just saurids

rose thorn
young pecan
#

That's just from game knowledge so could be wrong

storm jungle
#

Cold Ones are the raptors

young pecan
#

I think the foot soldiers were just called whatever their specific race was

#

Skink units are just skink (blank)s, saurids are saurid (blank)s, Kroxigors so on

storm jungle
#

Yeah Skinks are like small support units for Sauruses

#

Kroxigors are Dinosaur Ogryns

#

they are dumb as shit but also well, bodybuilder crocodiles so you know

#

LOOK AT EM GO

young pecan
#

Aren't they a good bit more intelligent than ogryns, even if not as smart as the average fellow?

storm jungle
#

Yeah but you get the idea, they are treated as laborers and dumb muscle

#

Sauruses are the soldier caste

young pecan
#

Unless Nakai is just abnormally smart for a Kroxigor

storm jungle
#

Yep he is

#

its why he has the position he does

#

Nakai does not fuck around

young pecan
#

Awesome

#

Nakai is such a beast in-game

#

He charges into a unit of humans, does his running flail attack

storm jungle
#

hes so fucking OP its hilarious

rose thorn
#

oh yeah also @queen laurel ironjawz go t buffed

young pecan
#

No less than fifteen people are mulched instantly, no less than 30 others are grievously injured

#

His campaign was so fun when they finally fixed a huge issue with him

#

Forgot what it was but it like broke the game in an unplayable way

#

Had to do with buildings I believe

storm jungle
#

yeah he was crazy on launch

young pecan
#

Just meander around and kill whoever you want whenever you want, vassalize every city you take over and never worry about it again

storm jungle
#

hes one of the more "turn brain off" campaigns but still very fun

young pecan
#

Probably the biggest pimp gameplay lord in the game

dusk patrol
young pecan
#

I need to play a Kroq-gar campaign now that I'm better at the game

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Need more belts still

storm jungle
young pecan
#

Also @storm jungle

storm jungle
#

Lizardmen dont require a lot of brains but you do get orbital lasers so thats neat : )

young pecan
#

Have you noticed that in Franz' campaign

#

In Ubersreik there's an inn building that is a Vermintide reference

dusk patrol
young pecan
#

I saw that the other day

storm jungle
#

Yeah i missed that for like years

storm jungle
#

i felt very fucking stupid later

rose thorn
#

the mega space beam

storm jungle
#

Uhh its a dinosaur unit that carries a temple

#

I THINK

#

its been awhile

rose thorn
#

ohhh okay

young pecan
#

Even gives you the garrison of one waystalker, one dwarf specialist, one witch hunter, one general, one bright mage

rose thorn
#

are seraphon still wizards? i have not kept up on seraphon meta at allllllllllllllllll

storm jungle
#

Yeah its very good, also a wholesome reference surprisingly lol

young pecan
#

Even namedrops Lohner

rose thorn
#

i can check righ tnow

#

430 WIZARD 3??????/

young pecan
#

I was very happy when I saw that even if my campaign was going badly because my buddy was playing Changeling which obliterated the entire mechanic of making every empire faction like me

rose thorn
#

HES HALF THE PRICE OF NAGASH

#

also @young pecan found it, its called an old blood

#

your fucking slann masters are level 3 fucking wizards

#

what are these fucking frogs

#

kroak is as good a wizard as teclis

storm jungle
#

nerfed to oblivion...

arctic talon
#

But yeah Slann are

#

Insanely good wizards

rose thorn
#

oh

arctic talon
#

Same with nagash

rose thorn
#

crazy the avatar of nagash ish a level 9 wizard

arctic talon
#

It’s from his books

#

Nagash isn’t nearly as strong without all his magical items and such

rose thorn
#

fair

#

i cant even imagine running nagash

#

waht the fuck do you do in teh hero phase besides spam your infinte spells 8 times

arctic talon
#

That’s

#

Exactly what he does lmao

rose thorn
#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

Slaan had a rule

#

Where they could uh

#

move terrain

rose thorn
#

huh????

arctic talon
#

And it killed anything under what you moved it on top of

#

This was in WHFB

#

It was a total meme

rose thorn
#

oh okay

arctic talon
#

Would be funny if they got it back in AoS

rose thorn
#

because kraken eater can kick objectives i thought like 'wtf...'

arctic talon
#

But prolly not lol

rose thorn
#

im surpsied kraken eater can still move objectives

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

They kinda need it

rose thorn
#

its weird to me thematically

#

but what ever

#

they are the smartest

#

if i was writing the rules i would have made it an army rule, maybe theme it as earthquakes or osmething

#

but then idk what to give kraken eater

#

reminds me how the ogor warband in warcry can eat treasure tokens

young pecan
rose thorn
young pecan
#

And yeah if what I've heard is correct they can literally move mountains individually if they're powerful

#

Which is why it confuses me so much that the frogs lost a tug-of-war against hillbilly skaven ""wizards"" for THE MOON

young pecan
rose thorn
#

yup

#

i have no clue what it means

young pecan
#

I can only assume it's because they're spawned from the eggs of the old race of sauruses that were brought in the ships with the frogs

#

Idk how much time passed between the eras so maybe those saurus' lineage is older than a lot of the older frogs by that point in time but that's just a guess

rose thorn
#

hey uh, gw, why did you buff most of the legends guys

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

The phons part Idfk

rose thorn
#

the courtier might be getting a mdoel i get that, i dont get why the grymwatch and wurmspat got buffed unless they get the stormcoven treatment

#

tbf i think nurgle might be missing a foot wizard

young pecan
#

Of course Nurgle would have wizards of feet ||/j||

arctic talon
#

Unless you count like

#

Daemons ig

rose thorn
#

oh okay wurmspat is getting promotted then

#

grymwatch im not sure, we dont need a monster killer

arctic talon
#

But they aren’t actual wizards

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

WIAT WATI WAIT WAIR

arctic talon
#

They’re coming

#

/hj

rose thorn
#

deer deer DEER DEER DEER

#

DEER

#

DEER

#

DEER

#

ARE WE GETTING DEERS?!?!?

arctic talon
#

Cities of sugmar win again

rose thorn
#

(or sylvaneth)

#

i 100% beleive the brood getting companions was just a nromal mistake and not beta testing rules

#

sign for bluescribes coming back?

#

i lvoe blue scribes

young pecan
#

Dear deers, endearing deers are something I hold dear

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

me too

arctic talon
#

Even though I play sylvaneth

#

Lol

rose thorn
#

the new art showed them getting deer elves

#

(before they canned that half of the army)

arctic talon
#

Wanderers moment

rose thorn
#

fr

arctic talon
#

Maybe they’ll wander back into the battle tome

rose thorn
#

id cry happy tears then sad tears trying to figure out how to write htem into my city

arctic talon
#

I feel like

#

They’re pretty easy to write ngl

rose thorn
#

what the fuck is the cross over between deers and fishing super cities

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

that live in a dead whale god

arctic talon
#

Could just have the “normal” wanderers

rose thorn
#

i love deer stho

arctic talon
#

Idk

rose thorn
#

or do you mean like

arctic talon
#

Have them related to the wilds around the city

#

Rather then like

#

The sea

rose thorn
#

fair

arctic talon
#

You can develop another biome

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

Part of the population and like

#

The army thing

rose thorn
#

ohh

#

true

arctic talon
#

Ig lol

rose thorn
#

lmao

arctic talon
#

Anyways do you think Kuronathi with horns

#

Need to shed their horns

#

like that would suck

rose thorn
#

that sounds like a beastars plotline

arctic talon
#

Every year you’re stuck with like

#

Horns for a large chunk of time

#

Like that would suck lol

rose thorn
#

i bet people woudl buy them at least

#

i could just use the normal lore and they would be scouts tbh, my city does hire alot of mercenary hunters tbf

rose thorn
#

yup

#

not as much as kruleboyz

queen laurel
#

Did they buff the monsters?

rose thorn
#

actually yes, a small one

#

they gave goregrunta tusks hit ona 4+

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

and made the unstoppable momentum a bit better

queen laurel
#

What about the Maw-grunta

#

Ok

#

That's something

rose thorn
#

so if you are forced to charge you still get a buff

#

i think

#

im nto sure

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

khrone

#

and a spell?

queen laurel
#

I can run boars if i have the money

rose thorn
#

OHHH THAT WAS AN OLD BUFF MY BAD

#

OH YEAH grok roara is the best endless spell in destruction

#

its so good you would run it over any other manifestation lore

#

and the swamp is SO GOOD

#

and the foot is okay

#

also snatch em up got buffed

#

kinda

queen laurel
#

Actually get a buff

rose thorn
#

uh, kinda

#

indrectly

#

the gork roara charge buff stacks now

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yes

#

so if you have a unit, you sue the buff on them

#

it stays

#

so you can give your boars liek a +2 to charge

#

if youw ant

#

i have no cleuw hy they buffed it

young pecan
#

Another question about WHF/AoS lore @rose thorn

rose thorn
#

yeha?

young pecan
#

Is all magic inherently from chaos like in 40k?

rose thorn
#

no

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

each realm is the embodiment of thier own magic

young pecan
#

It was in "winds" instead of warp so I figured it was different

queen laurel
#

Yeah that

#

Every realm used to be basically the old magic system in warhammer fantasy

#

You know realm of death for death magic

rose thorn
#

and now each realm is the embodiment of that magic

queen laurel
#

The realm beast for beast magic stuff like that

rose thorn
#

but all magic is usable eveyrwhere, it just is more powerful if you are in the right relam (no tabletop effect)

#

voice quick question, do you like stupid high fantasy?

young pecan
#

I don't think I've really experienced that so not sure, why?

rose thorn
#

rain that turns you into solid gold, mountain ranges made form the bones of a beast, oceasn of magma

#

aos is the most high fantasy setting ive ever seen

young pecan
#

Oh like Greek mythology kinda stuff?

rose thorn
#

yeah but on drugs

#

there is cities on moons

young pecan
#

Just "shit happens don't ask questions"

#

That sounds cool as long as it's not like obviously "only works when author wants it to"

rose thorn
#

there is a giant ocena cockraoch taht carries a nation on its back that lives at the bottom of the sea

queen laurel
young pecan
#

Like if there's a semblance of something making sense then that's cool

rose thorn
#

there is a species of gaint spiders that teleportfor fun

young pecan
#

Okay great

queen laurel
#

Not just teleport move through reality by cutting through it

young pecan
#

That's the big thing

rose thorn
#

so each realm is the fullest embodiment of their theme

young pecan
#

I hate when there's no actual system

rose thorn
#

the closer you are to the edge the more powerful it becomes

#

(except death)

queen laurel
young pecan
#

Shit does what it wants when the author wants it to

#

Lame

queen laurel
#

The literal mountains themselves are hungry and want to kill you

rose thorn
#

but also very loose

queen laurel
#

Yeah there's rules

young pecan
#

That's an awesome premise

rose thorn
#

shout out to the realm of light

#

it bleeds so much magic and so much order

#

the natrual formations are beautfiul scultures of marble

#

the mountrain ranges make you go blind from looking at it

#

if you walk to far you just explode

#

people go insane from how perfectly formed it is

queen laurel
#

He would be blindsided by the order

rose thorn
#

its really really funny

#

they made giant spider webs to block out light

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

oh eyah! they get SUPER TANNED

#

and absorb the power of the sun

queen laurel
#

Yeah in which then they violently use it to kill you

#

By straight up exploding when they hit you with the said sunmetal

rose thorn
#

ulgu is so dark sometimes you can only see via echo communication even with night viison

#

also sometimes the shadows, just come alive

#

and eat you

#

plants there are so venomous a touch will jsut kill you

#

i think its also stupid fucking cold

#

if i remember correclty

#

because its the realm of darkness

#

OH YEAH THERE IS ALOT OF DRUGS IN ULGU

#

the major cities in ulgu make alot of drugs

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

the drugs are so dangrous the stormcasts jsut stop the relaly bad drugs and allow teh safer drugs to go through

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yee

#

oh yeah also the realm of life is porbably the second most dangerous realm

rose thorn
#

its mostly sylvaneths fault

queen laurel
#

Nurgl wants that realm so bad

rose thorn
#

each like, section of the realm expiercences completely different season

#

the trees grow so tall that you WILL get lost

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

and the sylvaneth there especially hate you

rose thorn
#

adn the attack was so sudden liek 1/3rd of the realm was taken over

queen laurel
#

You mean he teleported into the realm and he taken a lot of it?

rose thorn
#

yeah

#

the skaven teleported them

queen laurel
#

Well his forces anyway

rose thorn
#

they also accidentally teleported a shitlaod of chaos into the realm of death

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

so nagash got caught off guard

#

and he is redirecting everyone who is loyal to him to fight chaos

#

so like, an ossiarch legion and some ghosts

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

i think the siege of lethis happened at this time?

#

which was a really really really bad battle

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

and i think it basically fucked over both forces defenses

rose thorn
#

lethis is the city in shyish

#

the ossiarch attacked lethis really relaly hard

queen laurel
#

Lethis excelsis my nuts they sound the same

#

Can't help it

rose thorn
#

excelsis has the future seeing drugs

#

lethis sold amulets as a scam that turned out to wrok

#

and they pay each other in funerals

#

oh yeah btw grok roara might be one of the best melee units in orruks rn

#

the endless spell

#

5 2+ 4+ 1 REND D3

#

THATS FUCING INSANE

queen laurel
#

That's f****** amazing already

rose thorn
#

you roll 5 dice

#

and hit on 2+

#

and 50/50 to wound

#

with a rend

#

with d3

#

so if you spike

#

lets say 3 hit

#

thats 9 damage

#

you wipe out most units

queen laurel
#

Yeah it can definitely injure some of the elites as well

rose thorn
#

on avergae you are dealing 4-6 damage

#

also morkspit marsh is very very very funny

#

you cant end your movement ontop of endless spells

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yeah

#

you make enmeies unable to run, so place it in a choke point and some units are stuck

#

until they kill it

queen laurel
#

That sounds incredibly annoying

rose thorn
#

were kruleboyz! its what we do

#

also kruleboyz can teleport on movement now

#

instead of hero phase

#

so our etnire army is now slightly better than index release

#

that nerf was so bad it neutered the whole army

#

shoudl i make last grot samuari

#

oc

queen laurel
#

I'm still adjusting my age of sigmar brute Character

rose thorn
#

its such a funny model

#

uhg

young pecan
rose thorn
#

this setting has alot of lore

queen laurel
#

What can we say there's a lot of good things in the setting

rose thorn
#

for example, theres a giant chunk of the old world with a god trapped in it in excelsis, they harvest this rock to see the future

#

as their economy

young pecan
#

So how does an average wizard who is of life, traverse the life domain safely?

#

Or is it just that he would only be so far in the domain as is controllably safe for him?

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

Yeah the tree people you see

#

Don't like you

#

So if you plan to move around them

rose thorn
#

theres a law emplaced by alarial that the sylaveneth can not attack anyoen on the roads

young pecan
#

They're as racist as the tree people in old WHF?

queen laurel
#

Make sure they do

young pecan
#

Holy based

rose thorn
#

so you knwo the big racist tree?

queen laurel
#

Drycha

rose thorn
#

her soul got chopped up becuase she was so angry and racist it was cauisng issues

young pecan
#

We love life wizardry that isn't a pushover like in most settings

rose thorn
#

kurnathi too

#

he got fucking decked and his chunks were buried across the realms

queen laurel
young pecan
rose thorn
#

she got outcast from teh sylvaneth

queen laurel
#

That totally won't have any consequences in the future

rose thorn
#

because she like, betrayed the entire human race

young pecan
#

So how do wizards of other paths live in these extremely dangerous realms?

#

Does more progression and mastery of each element provide greater resistance to these dangers?

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

and they go and train people in other realms

queen laurel
#

It's just another example

rose thorn
#

then tehse wizards form schools to train other wizards in the realms magic

queen laurel
#

And if you're magic matches the realm you are in you have better chances

#

Yeah magical colleges and shit

rose thorn
#

being a wizard is pretty sick tbh

young pecan
#

So it is like more resistance to that realm with more mastery?

rose thorn
#

theres not actually a downside (besides being hunted and killed for no reason 1/4th of the time)

arctic talon
#

don't piss off the sigmarites

#

smh

queen laurel
#

If you use death magic you would resist the magical energy of the death realm

rose thorn
#

even tzeentch has birds that kill wizards specifically

queen laurel
#

If you use fire magic you would live easier on the fire realm stuff like that

rose thorn
#

its very funn

#

y

#

oh yeah hallowheart has almost no laws restrcitng magic

queen laurel
#

But of course that's just saying that you can also

rose thorn
#

to the point they abosrb too much magic and explode

queen laurel
#

Use your own magical atonement to try to resist the other realms magical powers

#

Like for example say i want to close myself in a magical beast aura

#

To avoid getting cooked to death

rose thorn
#

the average soldier will see 1-3 wizards turn into a flaming ball of fire per deployment

queen laurel
#

In the fire realm

young pecan
#

An archmage of darkness and death casually eating a fully ripe "Datura flower but twenty thousand times potent" in front of a horrified light wizard

queen laurel
#

Do not let that man near the other types

rose thorn
#

if your shields arent blackened by the shere heat and fire of your ALLIES then you havent actually gone to war

#

also the city is absolutely infested with a giant tzeentch cult

#

so you have a solid chance of getting kidnapped

arctic talon
#

KILL THEM FIRST

#

GLORY TO SIGMAR

#

Jokes aside hallowheart is fucking hilarious

rose thorn
#

they have tried to clear out the ancient mines

#

but there is so many of them its not even worth bothering

young pecan
#

I wish they would make a small sidenote in the lore that that Ubersreik 5 got soul recycled to live in the current setting sadge

rose thorn
#

also tzeentch has canonically invaded every city of sigmar sucesfully

arctic talon
#

the only one who doesn't have an easy path

#

is Baradin

young pecan
#

True

arctic talon
#

Kerellian probably is horrifically traumatized from getting partially digested by slaanesh

#

the 3 humans could be reforged

queen laurel
#

Yeah

rose thorn
#

actually uh, i forgot the grail kngihts name

arctic talon
#

Bardin is a mystery

#

well haven exists

#

but that would only cover Kruber and Kerellian

queen laurel
#

Bardin is an old world dwarf

#

And like there's only two of them in the setting

#

Gotrek

#

And Grom brindle

#

So you need to be very very worthy as an old world dwarf to exist in the mortal realms

young pecan
#

Also Bardin was outcasted from dwarf society, no?

#

Out of shame

rose thorn
young pecan
#

Idk much about them either except some in-game snippets of dialogue

rose thorn
#

kruber thank you

arctic talon
#

yeah bardin is an outcast

rose thorn
#

yeah kruber is either the happiest fellow around or is torturing people to death

arctic talon
#

well

#

he could have been reforged

#

if he died

queen laurel
#

Yeah sigmar likes humans very much

young pecan
#

Also in a devblog they insinuated that Bardin was on the path to succumb to Tzeentch corruption

arctic talon
#

depends on who nabbeed his soul first

rose thorn
#

didnt allariale talk the grail knight souls

#

yeah

arctic talon
#

it was a toss up

#

Sigmar was nabbing every human soul he could

and if nagash didnt guilt trip sigmar itno giving up some

arctic talon
#

irregardless of who "owned" it

rose thorn
#

also did nagash have a grudge or something

queen laurel
#

Who knows kruber could have also ended up inside a ossiarch

rose thorn
#

against bretonnia

queen laurel
#

He was a pretty good warrior

#

Shove his a** inside a necro plex colossus

rose thorn
#

i think theres liek 5 instances of a death character being from bretonnia

queen laurel
#

Not necroplex colossus necropolis stalker that's the

#

One

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

theres a few fec, theres some ossiarch, and some night hant

arctic talon
#

Such is the power of nagash

rose thorn
#

What the hell did they do to piss nagash off so much

young pecan
#

Glad they didn't make Bardin "le dwarf barbarian oaf" in terms of personality

#

Or complexity

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

dont forget teclis' neo nazi elves

arctic talon
#

neo nazi?

#

nah

#

they're just nazis lol

rose thorn
#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

I'd say something of a salute for Teclis

#

but I don't want to get incinerated

rose thorn
#

POV settlers gain

#

i lvoe the floating lobotomy crystals

#

vindicarum is pretty shit but at least for a good reason

#

the religion of 'being friends with everyone' being the literal law

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

it only required the revived souls of their saints to slaughter most of the population

arctic talon
#

yeah and?

#

it worked great

#

I don't see the living complaining

#

and they get along great

rose thorn
#

i forgot how much power does the cult of the wheel have?

#

i know they bascially caused most wheels outside of the iron wields to be like, banned

arctic talon
#

Depends city to city

#

they have like

rose thorn
#

the 'making guns out of anything' guys wouldnt car etbh

arctic talon
#

very little power in greywater for example

rose thorn
#

true

arctic talon
#

but it depends city to city

#

But in like hammerhal aqsha and hallowheart

#

they've got a significant presence

rose thorn
#

my city probably lacks them, or the main sigmarite cult might be subserviant to them

#

cult of the 12th sail mainly pray for storms to benefit them while they sail \

#

the main religion, the cult of mobic, pray for their sins to get swallowed away and to gain the power of a force of nature

#

whihc, i imagine would conflict with the wheel

#

since they kinda wnat you to go kill yourself in war

#

oh well the idoneth is already stealing their souls i doubt they would care

#

as they secretly control the whole city

#

(wiki if you are reaidng this i swear)

queen laurel
#

That sounds like a good deal to me

rose thorn
#

you have to drink a really low quality soup

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

its the center of their religion

#

my idoneth mainly fuck around with soul fuckery, they 'gifted' the city a horn that empowers the strength of mobic

#

and also cuts slivers of their souls

#

then the idoneth stitch these soul bits together trying to get the best parts of each soul

#

they love love love doing that style of bullshit and frainkenstein soul shit

#

they trick the city to also accidetnally get them selves killed and wear 'trinkets' taht trap their soul

#

these trinkets are returned to the sea as like a buriel mermorial thing

#

unaware it contains the soul of their loved ones

#

additionally ships are legally required to have a soulscryer on board to help hunt beasts

#

and if they are close enough to the kingdom they might just lead the ship to a situation where it will most defenitly sink

#

also rip someone at my lgs, hes selling his old EC army

#

back when they were CSM

arctic talon
#

💀

#

god

#

Why the fuck did EC get so much cut

#

they can't use vindicators, predators, forgefiends or helbrutes

#

like wtf lol

rose thorn
#

they cant even use cultists lmao

#

or bikers

#

or posessed

#

gw being like

#

"we must sell more helldrakes..."

queen laurel
#

They lost so much

#

So you're telling me like the new things are like
Practically the only thing they can run

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

how is WE twice the army EC is

arctic talon
#

WE have more ranged options

#

lmao

rose thorn
#

HUH

crystal forum
#

what's WE

rose thorn
#

World eaters

#

Oh yeah army identity quesrion

green loom
#

I require ena gifs

rose thorn
#

In 40K is the Slaanesh army supposed to be chip damage movement army

arctic talon
#

No

#

High mobility

#

Good at what they do

#

good melee/good ranged options

crystal forum
#

post ena

arctic talon
#

Slaanesh is not a chip army as daemons

#

or CSM

#

they're both very big on the whole "I'm better then you"

#

thing

#

or blitz them and murder them

rose thorn
#

I know AOS Slaanesh does have a pretty bad identity problem

arctic talon
#

40k slaanesh has a pretty defined identity tbh

#

generally speaking their stuff is always fast

rose thorn
#

It’s either hyper elite melee or swarm chip damage

crystal forum
#

i finally found a way to listen to femtanyl: slowing it down so it's comprehensible

rose thorn
#

Which is fine if either of them were good

crystal forum
#

am i a normie

arctic talon
#

With stuff being high quality

#

or rather higher quality

#

or more consistent

#

ect.

rose thorn
#

I think Slaanesh just needs a better army rule tbh

#

And units

#

And spells

crystal forum
#

psyker stuff sucks in general in 10th

#

so boring

rose thorn
#

I hope EC isn’t just a shooty army

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

if anything they're all in on melee rn

#

due to lack of ranged options

#

now granted noise marines are extremely good

#

But their melee is pretty terrifying

rose thorn
#

What about all the noise marines and noise marines 2

arctic talon
#

there's only noise marines

#

wdym

rose thorn
arctic talon
#
  • the noise marine lord
rose thorn
#

The uh

arctic talon
#

those are noise marines

rose thorn
#

Oh okay

arctic talon
#

wait

#

are you talking about the dude with the giant pipe organ?

#

thats a lord

rose thorn
#

My bad

arctic talon
#

But EC's only real ranged options rn are the battleline dudes who are legionaries 2 slaanesh boogaloo

#

noise marines

rose thorn
#

I can’t tell any of the units apart tbh

arctic talon
#

Flawless blades are spooky

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

they can pump out enough to kill like

#

a land raider lol

#

without buffs

#

with buffs they get a lot better

rose thorn
#

Excited to run helldrakes :D?

arctic talon
#

No

rose thorn
#

(/j)

arctic talon
#

I also don't play EC

rose thorn
#

Same

arctic talon
#

I am immune to such petty consequences

#

If I was to pick a Slaanesh thing for CSM

#

it would prolly be a warband anyways

#

As cool as the EC stuff is

#

I like Chaos warbands more

rose thorn
#

Me too

#

I imagine the EC book will house Slaanesh warbands

arctic talon
#

they won't

#

Slaanesh warbands go in the main CSM codex

#

and we got like 3

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

wdym

rose thorn
#

Wait, didn’t

arctic talon
#

lol

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

The warbands in the Cult Legion books

#

are all extensions

#

of the CSM legions and not actual independent warbands

rose thorn
#

I swear to god they use to house their complete devotee warbands too

arctic talon
#

never

#

I.E The Purge are in the CSM codex

#

along with their lore

rose thorn
#

Damn

arctic talon
#

same with the flaweless host

#

ect.

#

The Shriven

#

The cleaved

rose thorn
#

So you don’t give Slaanesh players any homebrew ideas ig

arctic talon
#

I mean

#

wdym by that

#

You have plenty of homebrew ideas to draw from already, steal stuff from the EC book

#

combine it with the slaanesh stuff in the CSM codex

#

simple as

rose thorn
#

I mean is the intent that they want all EC armies to be specifically EC?

arctic talon
#

No

#

Slaanesh warband != EC

#

and it never has been

#

If you want to make an EC army specifically use the EC codex stuff

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

you can make a Slaanesh aligned warband without it

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

unless I'm like

#

horribly misinterpreting your question

rose thorn
#

I think little from Column a a little from column b

arctic talon
#

lol

#

could you restate it then if you want or not idk

rose thorn
#

Does it house warbands that came from EC?

arctic talon
#

Yes

rose thorn
#

Okay

arctic talon
#

warbands that are part of the Emperors Children legion or with close ties to the EC are in the EC codex

rose thorn
#

Gotcha

#

But Slaanesh warbands aren’t from EC are not in the EC book

arctic talon
#

Yes

rose thorn
#

Gotcha

arctic talon
#

The Slaanesh warbands descendent from Traitor marines/other legions are not in the EC book

rose thorn
#

Yay new warband lore

arctic talon
#

there was a lot of cool stuff

rose thorn
#

I hope we see a return of the inflation boy planet

arctic talon
#

in the EC Codex for warbands

arctic talon
rose thorn
arctic talon
#

the Corpus breatheren

#

even got a named character

rose thorn
#

Ohhh

arctic talon
#

though he has no rules

rose thorn
#

Lmao

arctic talon
#

he's pretty neat, he was the last of them to fall

#

he was in the deathwatch

#

they hunted him down and dragged him into the eye of terror

rose thorn
#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

his name is "The Feaster in the Twilight"

rose thorn
#

Oh yeha was there any mentions of the Slaanesh GK?

#

The silver prince?

#

I think he’s called

arctic talon
#

The Silver Prince is often in the Chaos Daemons codex

rose thorn
#

Gotcha

arctic talon
#

but he might show up in the EC codex

#

because the EC codex has some daemons lore

#

like how the EC have a uh

#

"carnival"

#

on Fulgrims pleasure planet now run by the Daemons

rose thorn
#

I might read the daemon lore since it’s basically shared across both games

arctic talon
#

now granted

#

we have 0 knowledge beyond that since the leaks got cut off

#

before the actual lore

#

but a "carnival" run by daemons sounds horrifying lol

"WE HAVE GAMES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! YOU CAN SKIN MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF ALL RACES! ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN!!!"

opaque coyote
#

I survived space mountain?

#

Nah

#

I survived the cocknball torture machine

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

its like

#

the most simple to actually play

#

but imo character creation is like

#

needlessly obtuse

#

due to how the system works

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

yeah

#

But more obtuse

#

since soulbound everyone is the same tier

#

in Wrath and glory you have 5 different tiers

#

of character strength

queen laurel
#

Which is like already a can of worms if itself

arctic talon
#

you can also just "ascend"

#

from one tier to the next

#

rather then changing the class thingy

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

no

#

start at whatever tier you GM tells you to

green loom
#

Warhammer power level enjoyers when I give my guardsman the super mushroom

arctic talon
#

real

#

give him 5

#

and he's Tier 6

queen laurel
green loom
#

What do the tiers do

arctic talon
#

power level + stat bonuses + bonuses to rolls

#

ect.

#

its pretty linear

#

higher tier get more bonuses

#

and they better

green loom
#

Can a supposed T6 guardbro deal with a marine

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Well

#

if you're picking tiers yes

arctic talon
#

due to how poorly balanced W&G is

#

I love punching so hard

#

I instantly kill people at T1

#

as some fuckhead administratum scribe

green loom
#

Pretty based

arctic talon
#

ngl

#

I don't like wrath and glory due to how poorly balanced it is

#

soulbound is just an objectively better execution of the systems ideas imo

queen laurel
#

Without making it too obtuse

arctic talon
#

It makes you feel powerful

#

its not complex

#

and its simple to digest

#

idk, maybe I should be less biased to W&G

#

but it feels off to me

queen laurel
#

I want the character i'm making to feel you know

arctic talon
#

meh it works

#

I don't mind it

#

Imperium Maledictum is also very centralized

#

since its all in the Macharain sector

#

so it would be odd to make an expansion that takes place outside of it

green loom
#

Okay so

#

I've decried the idea of Total Warhammer 40k

#

But

#

I would be on board for exclusively one thing

rose thorn
green loom
#

Whiteshield or Grot doomstacks wiping out marine armies

arctic talon
green loom
arctic talon
#

wait no

green loom
#

You mean Dawn of War?

arctic talon
#

CA didn't make those

#

Halo Wars but 40k

green loom
#

It'd be Halo Wars

queen laurel
#

That's relic brother

arctic talon
#

there we go lol

#

yeah

green loom
#

We got a leak of some environments for a very obviously Warhammer game that's probably an RTS

arctic talon
#

Bri'ish ODST Tempestus Scions

green loom
#

Which would track

#

So we can more or less safely assume a 40k RTS is out there somewhere just ykno

#

No details beyond "40k RTS" and a vague marketing writeup that means nothing for the final product

green loom
#

Whenever someone argues I'd just post a video of gretchin murdering Guilliman or something

queen laurel
#

Get a marine fan to call you every single slur in the planet

Bingo with 40k fans

queen laurel

he didn't even do anything

he's black templar he must be racist

#

so that new invincible episode sure was something

arctic talon
languid meadow
#

can't wait

#

also the title drop gag is awesome this episode

arctic talon
#

its great lol

opaque coyote
#

||Like he tried to go through the legal channels. But for obvious reasons, it just didn't go through.||

#

||Also the fact that a lot of his actions were caused by him. He had every opportunity to stop, but he didn't.||

opaque coyote
#

INVINCIBLE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!!

#

The worst part is that it feels awkward with him not saying "yo".

#

because I fucking recognize Aaron Paul's voice

#

and it's also really funny that he basically depicted another guy whose mental state is in the toilet

#

Although now I wonder

#

Angstrom vs Powerplex. Who is the #1 Invincible Hater?

opaque coyote
#

He must channel his racism

🥱

celest dome
#

SM are lamer than Stormcast ?

dusk patrol
#

It’s different flavors, not a lot to compare.

#

I will say, going back to invincible, didnt love the Powerplex thing

#

It wasn’t bad just, felt like it was obvious where it was going and it required Mark to be kinda a dumbass as well as the Powerplex dude

queen laurel
languid meadow
#

Stormcast are also less lame since they don't hog the limelight all the time

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

If either are showing up, you're probably already fucked.

queen laurel

why am I catching strays

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

with marines it's like playing russian roulette

storm jungle
#

Pretty much, also theres a lot more well meaning stormhosts than straight up awful ones.

#

Space marines in comparison are all essentially different shades of assholes and brainwashed sociopaths lol

queen laurel
queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Yeah id rather just not lol

queen laurel
#

same

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

We see plenty of them, as you would expect, are still assholes. They're just righteous assholes.

storm jungle
#

They are still nowhere near as bad as astartes

#

its mostly just to add flavor

dusk patrol
#

Yeah but we see plenty of "bad people" die heroic deaths.

storm jungle
#

Yeah and we see a lot more who dont

#

like

#

one's leader is space hitler

dusk patrol
#

And we have seen plenty of Stormcast not be very good people.

storm jungle
#

the others is cosmic conan

#

theres a bit difference in that creed too lol

dusk patrol
#

Ok but that wasn't my point.

storm jungle
#

Yeah, thats what im saying.

#

Anyway

dusk patrol
#

Well I didn't ask.

#

So there

queen laurel
#

yeah like why are you making this argument more complex than it needs to be I trust the other one more than the other one like what's so hard about that to accept

dusk patrol
#

Got em

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

"well theres bad ones"

#

okay cool theres a lot more good ones too

#

we still need that grimdark spice

#

but like yeah lol

queen laurel
#

one is a forged guy that is trusted by a warrior God to do the right thing the other one is a space steroid induced monster that is trained to the killing edge to be the best killing machine

storm jungle
#

at the end of the day they are just chaos warriors but Good™️

#

Then again they do have hammers
