40k-lore-chat

[sly ivy]

Dilara introduced it to me

[storm jungle]

they are egyptian skeleton nobles, they can do whatever the fuck they want

[outer wave]

Can a Necron lord become a planet?

[sly ivy]

She’s the narrator in the audible version

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

if the planet is metal i guess so

[spare osprey]

i'm really just playing with them being melty and blind ig

[arctic talon]

Anyways if anyone ever tries to tell me whfb is a better game then AoS

I’m going to skin them alive

And then force them to play whfb

[outer wave]

Can they turn a planet into a metal planet a la Vex from Destiny 1/2?

[shadow plover]

just do whatever Serenade was supposed to be

[sly ivy]

It has sound effects

[storm jungle]

see the World Engine

[arctic talon]

They don’t do that really but yes

[languid meadow]

I think when people say this they mean the world of Fantasy at least with the discourse I've seen

[arctic talon]

The mechanicus can do that

[spare osprey]

unicron

[outer wave]

Cool!

[arctic talon]

I’ve seen people claim whfb is a better game

They deserve to be tortured

Genuinely

[storm jungle]

it was such a good game it killed itself

[languid meadow]

true !

[arctic talon]

No fucking mercy

[storm jungle]

[dusk patrol]

Do they wear silly hats

[arctic talon]

I get it people like whfb’s world more lol

[outer wave]

Can the necrons fuse into one giant necron and kill the emperor by clapping him in between their giant metal buttcheeks?

[languid meadow]

AoS is a better game but I much prefer fantasy more

[storm jungle]

Uhhh idk i guess the flayed ones do made out of flayed skin

[arctic talon]

That’s def not an argument

It’s subjective taste

[storm jungle]

eyo what the fuc-

[arctic talon]

What isn’t is that whfb was an atrocity of a game

[languid meadow]

doesn't mean I dislike AoS however since sky dwarves are cool asf

[arctic talon]

Thank god Old World

Fixes a lot of the issues whfb had

[rose thorn]

AOS is much more branched thematically

[outer wave]

Sorry I couldnt help myself

[arctic talon]

And then Introduced others

Lol

[dusk patrol]

Unfortunately I have the objective opinion.

And I declare space hulk original to be the pinnacle of tabletop gaming

All other things are inferior

[arctic talon]

Do we count the dance moves expansion

[languid meadow]

erm the lord of the rings game is peak

[rose thorn]

I don’t like old world for the reasons people like it, and it seems like the one sided rivalry has ended

[spare osprey]

no deathwing minis so 0/10 i'm afraid

[late osprey]

i actually do not like the new model lines for Old World

its like AoSified Old World

[arctic talon]

This is how I feel reading someone say age of shitmar unironically tbh

[dusk patrol]

Yes

[vagrant fox]

Stratego is honestly the pinnacle of board gaming, I'll have no arguements about it

[storm jungle]

it had a tv commercial, that alone makes it superior than most games

[late osprey]

which if you ask me id rather just stick to AoS

[arctic talon]

Alright peak

[storm jungle]

"DREADNAUGHT"

[outer wave]

New
Arent most of those just reused old models from WHFB?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Lol

[storm jungle]

theres like

[dusk patrol]

Why no Space Hulk Lego sets

[storm jungle]

1 new model among 20 playdough ones

[arctic talon]

There’s like 5 new minis

Total for old world

[rose thorn]

Mentioned AOS on Twitter and 3 brained old world blowjobbers called me slurs

[arctic talon]

And they look fine imo

[sly ivy]

Are we talking about old world

[spare osprey]

GW should make lego star wars style commercials

https://tenor.com/view/lego-lego-star-wars-star-wars-gif-14158896

[languid meadow]

what skitarii variant is that, a vanguard?

[sly ivy]

Has anyone actually played that and lived

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[vagrant fox]

40k lego would be the stupid priciest thing I'd ever see

[storm jungle]

No way...

[arctic talon]

Somehow at the fall of Cadia

Lol

[late osprey]

yeah but the ones they did release are so wildly off-base that it put me off it

[languid meadow]

I don't remember a forge world having red helmets for them

[arctic talon]

Which is weird because stygies wasn’t there

[late osprey]

main issue for me being the kislev ice guards

[arctic talon]

It’s stygies viii

[languid meadow]

ohhhhhh

[arctic talon]

Those aren’t minis

yet

[outer wave]

Really? The skeleton dragon is off-base?

Damn

[arctic talon]

Blame CA for the new Kislev aesthetic if you want

[arctic talon]

No that one fits

It’s just the VC zombie dragon but tomblords edition

Imo

[outer wave]

Ahhhh

[celest dome]

And miss a chance to blame GW, never

[arctic talon]

True!

[rose thorn]

when ever I think of guard I think of thier new god awful combat patrol

It was so bad I thoguht it was a fake leak

[outer wave]

Bruh it should've been a crocodile dragon I swear

[arctic talon]

It’s good value though

It’s just

[languid meadow]

I mean you can still blame GW since they never bothered fleshing out Kislev or Cathay all that much before TW

[arctic talon]

So weird thematically lol

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

I can blame them for that

[rose thorn]

What guard player wants 3 units of horses as the starter to their army

[sly ivy]

Lego is stupid

[rose thorn]

Except me

[languid meadow]

I still really like kislev however

[storm jungle]

you're fucking stupid

[arctic talon]

Idk, someone who likes horses

[late osprey]

i mean strictly speaking we could've always played in the old world, all of the old units had rules on AoS

[storm jungle]

badmouth Lego again and ill kill you

[languid meadow]

I like the mix of eastern European vibes

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[sly ivy]

Ya

[vagrant fox]

Lego sucks, I went to Legoland and it sucked ass

[arctic talon]

But I’m the old world as a system

Is better then the whfb ones

[outer wave]

Lego more like, shit-go

Hahahhaa

[storm jungle]

Gonna roll up on you with this weapon from the Dark Age of Technology

[late osprey]

does the old world still use formations?

[arctic talon]

I’ve played at least 3 games of every popular edition of whfb

[arctic talon]

Yeah

It’s formation/line based

You use squares

[languid meadow]

I wish they had full sleeves but most of their kit is cool

[dusk patrol]

A HERETIC CULT HAS TAKEN THE HIVEWORLD, READY THE VIRUS BOMB-

“Hey!”

-BUILD THE VIRUS BOMBS, FIRE THEM ON THE WORLD, WIPE OUT ALL LIFE AND SAVE THE PLANET!

[late osprey]

well some of the main complaints for whfb (among other things) was just how aggravating formation movement actually was

[storm jungle]

least violent lego game

[sly ivy]

Is it the one that turns you inside out because that’s my fetish

[storm jungle]

💀

[arctic talon]

Yeah and they made it better

By stealing

From better systems

[late osprey]

word

[arctic talon]

The main issue in old world rn is

BIG SMASHY MONSTER KILL

[languid meadow]

Orokin and Drukhari having a freak off is what I need

[arctic talon]

But imo old world is much better designed as a system

Mechanically

The game just plays better

[late osprey]

oh i dont doubt it

[arctic talon]

Army building is less of a headache since you don’t need line troops out the ass

You can actually run cool stuff

[late osprey]

its a pretty low bar to beat that's "yea elves always fight first no matter what lmao go fuck yourself charging cavalry"

[arctic talon]

Yeah that’s a special ability now

Given by I forgot what

It’s not the default now thank fuck lol

[rose thorn]

Hey does a bee themed vampire dynasty sound cool or trash

Vulture bee themed*

[late osprey]

a what

is there a vampire lord in there that comes up going "Buzzz buzzzz I am going to suck your honey!"

[languid meadow]

Bees that take blood to make honey

[celest dome]

sound intriguing

[arctic talon]

Bees that eat rotting meat and drink blood

I’d say it works

[sly ivy]

This is also my fetish

[arctic talon]

MEAT HONEY

[rose thorn]

It might work better with FEC

[arctic talon]

It’s not actually honey

[rose thorn]

Ye

[late osprey]

NURGLE'S PESTILENT GLORY

[arctic talon]

Iirc vulture meat “honey”

Is like

[outer wave]

Stinger-less honey bees IIRC

[arctic talon]

Edible

But it tastes awful

[rose thorn]

vulture bees are also super friendly

[arctic talon]

They also still do gather honey

Funnily enough

[outer wave]

They're allowed to hang

[late osprey]

i actually hate this so much

this image

[arctic talon]

But they also make the meat secretion

[languid meadow]

M E A T

[late osprey]

is this what its like to be an Imperial in 40k? just raw unfiltered hatred at something newly discovered?

[arctic talon]

Perhaps

[outer wave]

You know, why dont we have a death guard guy that just carries a colony of normal vulture bees within his chest cavity?

That's more than enough body horror to work

[arctic talon]

Oh also there’s like

3 different subspecies

Of vulture bees

Some mix the meat juice with honey

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/not-the-bees-gif-26245123

[arctic talon]

Others keep them seperate

[outer wave]

They wouldnt do anything; they'd just make colonies on a planet while the death guard guy just murders people for the vulture bees to make their homes in

Otherwise incredibly harmless

[languid meadow]

surprised we don't have enough wasp stuff in warhammer they're horrifying

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, yeah that sounds typical.

I remember some fluff about a World Eater who's hobby is tending to his garden

[rose thorn]

The idea is like, the bees making blood honey and the court drinks it, maybe they are in Ghyran or something

[arctic talon]

That’s fun

[outer wave]

I can only think of Typhus the Dickhead as the only guy that deals with wasp-like entities

[lofty mason]

I read that there are worlds in the Imperium that hasn't been in contact with the Imperium for several millenia. How true is this? Because that sounds really insane.

[arctic talon]

There’s a titan legion called the fire wasps

[queen laurel]

That's good

[outer wave]

Oh I love that guy

[arctic talon]

For some feral worlds it’s def possible

Since they might be assigned no tithe

[opaque coyote]

The only thing that's different is that instead of water, the plants want blood

[arctic talon]

The planetary govenor just sits in orbit

[late osprey]

the less important they are the more likely it gets

[arctic talon]

Making sure the natives don’t start worshiping chaos

Maybe every couple millennia

[opaque coyote]

Considering planets like Catachan. I doubt they're even chaos influenced though

[arctic talon]

They need to pay a tithe of people

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

And they just kidnap the people from the planet

[queen laurel]

Another way of space marine recruiting

[opaque coyote]

I mean isn't a lot guard recruitment literally that

[languid meadow]

I'm surprised GW hasn't given into the temptation of just adding a wasp/bee nid

[late osprey]

yeah but some worlds are better suited to that than others

[opaque coyote]

Vespid

[languid meadow]

I guess nurgle has a monopoly on Apidae

[late osprey]

calling up a hive world asking for a regiment is gonna take significantly less time than trying to round up 1000 screamers in feral Neolithica V and give them guns

[queen laurel]

Yeah call them a terrorwasp

[arctic talon]

Not always

It depends

[outer wave]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulture_bee Bro this stuff is some missed opportunity by GW tbh
|| Vulture bees usually enter the carcass through the eyes. They will then root around inside gathering the meat suitable for their needs. The vulture bee salivates on the rotting flesh and then consumes it, storing the flesh in its crop. ||

[rose thorn]

It would be better for FEC to do the bee thing tbh

[arctic talon]

The imperium is also honestly a total mess beuracracy wise, sometimes papers get lost

[opaque coyote]

Yeah fair.

Besides, all the locals can fight you with is spears

[rose thorn]

Imma save that for the thing I’m working on

[languid meadow]

this has reminded me of the new vespid models a couple months back and how cool they are

[arctic talon]

There’s one dude in a guard book

Who’s from a feral world

Dude was literally worshiping a rock

As the emperor

[queen laurel]

I mean vulture bees are a thing

So yeah it works with them

[rose thorn]

Yee I know

[opaque coyote]

Was it a shiny rock at least

[rose thorn]

But thematically it works better for Fec then vampires

[opaque coyote]

Gold colored

[rose thorn]

Since FEC eat rotting flesh and so does vulture bees

[arctic talon]

It was a massive rock

And it was not shiny

[rose thorn]

So they see them selves as like, bee keepers and shit

[opaque coyote]

0/10.

Heretical

Burn him

[arctic talon]

Let me find the book one moment

[languid meadow]

hmmm this big giant protects us let's pay tribute with honey

[opaque coyote]

Is it equivalent to like

[late osprey]

i love this pic so much

[opaque coyote]

Giving tribute to an Eldritch God

[late osprey]

cyborg footman

feudal worlder

[languid meadow]

yeah I bet if bees had the same intelligence as a human they would actually worship us

I for one welcome our new bee underlings

[arctic talon]

It’s in this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085YDBNLK/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_4D7LEb39M7JP5

If you want I can post the excerpt it’s long though

Short story called Savage

@lofty mason

[lofty mason]

wait. Isn't that heresy according to IoM standards.

[arctic talon]

the rock was being worshiped as the emperor prolly

the imperial faith is very broad

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-gif-27081893

[languid meadow]

seeing the rock makes me appreciate John Cena more

[young pecan]

I'm so racist to the WHF minotaurs

Stimky ungors

[arctic talon]

the point is it looks sus

lol

[plush mason]

no it looks NSFW

like its not even sus

[arctic talon]

yes

thats the point

the censoring blood with white is a meme

[plush mason]

oh so the CCP didnt make it a requirement

[arctic talon]

Its censored by just blacking it out

lol

[plush mason]

ok

[arctic talon]

would be incredibly funny if the CCP actually censored it by making it white

sorry uh

https://tenor.com/view/nalog-gif-25906765

The CCP Can do no wrong

please do not exterminate my relatives when you inevitably invade taiwan or something idk

@arctic talon what is eve's pink stuff made out of? i dont get why it always breaks like glass but she has the power to create the most molecularly dense material

[arctic talon]

its just some sort of generic energy

[dusk patrol]

Energy bullshit

[arctic talon]

Idk what it is

its never explained

[dusk patrol]

Green lantern go go

[arctic talon]

Kirkman also said he wish he just made Eve shoot energy

because he sucks at writing her powers

LOL

[dusk patrol]

Way OP

[arctic talon]

Eve is constricted by her author/hj

[crystal forum]

literally goes from conjuring magical glass to CHANGING THE DENSITY OF AIR in the same fight

[arctic talon]

thats new to the show

Kirkman has now become better at writing eve(marginally)

[crystal forum]

would be nice if it was a bit more consistent

like why didn't she make his robo arm super heavy

[arctic talon]

She gets bodied in like

2 pages in the comics

[arctic talon]

good question

idk

maybe her mindblock doesn't let her still

[crystal forum]

i genuinely thought that was what happened before she explains the air density

her powers would be so nerdy and cool if it was a different kind of show

all the weird chemical interactions she could do

[dapper gyro]

Eve is a soft person, that alone limits her imagination for torturing people.

[sly ivy]

My son, another man can only tell you so much about a woman’s pink stuff.

[rose thorn]

god damn it my city of sigmar is just worse misthaven

I basically just wrote a cult for misthaven

I went too far in the fishing theme

And pirates

Welp time to start over ig

[sly ivy]

O’erpower the flower

[rose thorn]

Maybe I should look at my bee city again,,,,

[arctic talon]

Rip

[rose thorn]

I could rework the city and rip off morrowind

[arctic talon]

The giant dead whale stuff not work out I’m guessing

[rose thorn]

The whale stuff was perfect, I leaned into the fishing themes

Too much

[plush mason]

so random WHF question, why are the Runefangs of the elector counts so special?

[arctic talon]

Well

Just cut away the fishing thing no?

And go back to the whale stuff

Idk

[rose thorn]

True

What if, the city is underwater….

[arctic talon]

They were made a long time ago by a dwarf smith

[rose thorn]

And what if instead of having the idoneth civilization and the city apart, what if they were the same place-

[arctic talon]

Also they’re really strong

[rose thorn]

And instead of fishing they did scuba diving-

[arctic talon]

They chop through like gromril like nothing

[arctic talon]

That works

[plush mason]

any magical properties or just really really good dwarf smithing and badge of office stuff?

[rose thorn]

They built the city around the stuff the whale swallowed when it was alive-

But what does the city export?

[arctic talon]

Magical stuff they collect? Idk

[arctic talon]

Very good smithing and they have runes

[plush mason]

so magic and perfectly crafted

i wonder what would happen to an elector count that lost his runefang

[arctic talon]

Bad things I’d assume

[storm jungle]

Yes

Lore wise and rules wise

Not on the minis

[rose thorn]

hey elite, do you know why ghur has iron specifically?

i think it might be a reference to something

omg

[arctic talon]

Iron is in blood

There’s going to be

So many jokes about it

[dusk patrol]

Min maxing hard

[storm jungle]

thats one of my favorite parts of the comic

mostly because its like

[storm jungle]

awful

also speaking of

[arctic talon]

Not drukhari tier

[storm jungle]

yeah nah this is some admech shit

re-animen especially are just bulked up servitors

[arctic talon]

It’s dark mech stuff

This is in a book

[storm jungle]

well minus the living part

[arctic talon]

Actually

I forgot which

[storm jungle]

not surprised lol

[arctic talon]

But there’s a pilot who serves the dark mechanicum

She’s basically kept in cryosleep 24/7

And as she dies it immediately cuts to her waking up

From cryosleep again

Same clothes, same gear, same good luck charm

And the twist reveal at the end is that every single one of the pilots is a clone of her with the exact same memories lol

[storm jungle]

Lmao what story is this

[arctic talon]

I forgot

It’s one of the Aeronautica ones

It’s not heresy era

[storm jungle]

guh

[arctic talon]

Sorry lol

It’s been like years since I’ve read this

[dusk patrol]

Maybe she should stop dying so much

Minnie 4645

Yeah that one has Medusan Wings too I think

Which tried it trick me into thinking those terrible marine flyers are cool

[arctic talon]

For relics? It depends

LOL

[storm jungle]

like

legit who gives a shit

about Las Vegas

lmao

I did love how his warning for the imminent explosion to the people is standing in the fucking road and shouting "EVERYONE RUN"

[vagrant fox]

Las Vegas gave us Fallout New Vegas and that's about all the good we'll get out of it

[storm jungle]

Sigsen gets it

[vagrant fox]

Just anything
My friend wants to write a short story set on a space hulk featuring mutated orks
It made me think despite being what they are, space hulks are weirdly unform in their vagueness

LMFAO

"We DO NOT need another monster movie destroying it."

[dusk patrol]

“Golden Gate Money Pit more like”

too accurate

Why does the US have like 3 cities in the desert that spits in the face of god

shout out to the 7 people living in death vally

[vagrant fox]

The mentality is puzzling
Then the perfidious yankee goes cave exploring in the devils gooch with a 0% survival rate

[arctic talon]

I usually just make it relic war gear and stuff

[tulip sand]

I like to think that dreadnaughts are based on DAoT mechs used for non combat roles

[hallow basin]

Quite likely, if not actually true

[tulip sand]

Like the life support system keeping the user alive is from DAoT and isnt meant to be used permanently, but to keep an operator alive in case of emergency until they can get medical attention

And in M41 they just shove mortally wounded dudes in there

[young pecan]

Trying to pet multiple cats without making the other(s) jealous feels like the closest possible parallel to living as Be'lakor

[crystal forum]

still better than the average european who feels compelled to go into caves full of water with 6 dead bodies actively left inside

cave diving:
when suicide is too simple

[arctic talon]

We know some technobarbarian tribes had dreadnoughts which didn’t have a crippled person in them

So it’s likely they’re based on DAOT tech

[crystal forum]

i dont think it's even stated that a space marine has to be mortally wounded to be in a dreadnought

it's that nobody in their right mind would do it voluntarily

[storm jungle]

Thats literally what they are yeah.

They are essentialyl repurposed powered suits thats been turned into what it is today

[arctic talon]

It could be a techno barbarian invention

Tbh

We don’t know

[storm jungle]

Its all of the above

[arctic talon]

Prolly

[storm jungle]

the O.G lore for it states Terra, Mars, Techno-barbarians used them here and there

[arctic talon]

Neat

[storm jungle]

its basically just "yeah its a crazy mechsuit"

so nothing too wild dont worry

its mostly to reference the fucking uhhh

older lore where anyone could use a naught lol

[crystal forum]

cough cough invictus warsuit

[storm jungle]

look at em goooo

[crystal forum]

die 🙂

[storm jungle]

LMAO

but yeah the "history" for it doesnt go much beyond "they were around during DAOT" so its just generic mechsuit shit

[arctic talon]

The classic

Heh

[crystal forum]

everything from old lore has been stated to be from daot at some point is what i've realized

[storm jungle]

Nah

Just some.

[crystal forum]

what doesn't follow that rule

[storm jungle]

They only get the DAOT treatment if like some big ass wall of text was needed for an Imperial Armor or Horus Heresy rulebook

[arctic talon]

I curse you with octopus that’s actually taxonomically a dragon

[storm jungle]

holy shit its a redditor

[storm jungle]

About 80% of Imperial vehicles

[arctic talon]

Missile launchers

and weapons i guess

like-

[arctic talon]

Fun fact it has bones, and teeth

[storm jungle]

guh-

[sacred ginkgo]

I can't even think of what wyvern they classed it as, Piscine?

[arctic talon]

It’s also biologically a dragon

[crystal forum]

alright anything that's actually sci fi

cheater

[arctic talon]

It’s an elder dragon

[sacred ginkgo]

The fuck

[arctic talon]

It’s got elder dragon blood

It’s biologically related to the rest of those freaks

[storm jungle]

I also wonder how many people dont know Rhinos are also DAOT tech lol

[arctic talon]

Somehow at some point we went from dragon to floating octopus creature

[crystal forum]

is that not obvious

[storm jungle]

I mean

[arctic talon]

Not even the most deranged elder dragon design imo

[storm jungle]

its a vietnam era APC

[arctic talon]

Valastrax is still crazier

[storm jungle]

its not really sci-fi

[crystal forum]

it's space marine

[storm jungle]

okay but most space marine vehicles arent DAOT tech

[arctic talon]

Meltas might not be Daot

Iirc

[crystal forum]

land raider

land speeder

terminator armour

[arctic talon]

That’s not a vehicle

[storm jungle]

Wanna go through the entire thing with us

[crystal forum]

predator even

predator has weird lexi page

like an actual quoted battle from dark age

very stupid

[storm jungle]

I mean its lore

[crystal forum]

it's way too direct about it

[storm jungle]

ITS LITERALLY WHAT IT SAYS

[crystal forum]

plus it mentions a pre emperor human imperium

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/valstrax-monster-hunter-gif-21707047

My favorite elder dragon

A literal jet

[storm jungle]

We know those existed tho

and its not an "ımperium"

[crystal forum]

it was phrased like the imperium

or empire

or whatever

[storm jungle]

YEAH BECAUSE IMPERIUM JUST MEANS EMPIRE

[crystal forum]

it's old bad lore

[storm jungle]

its not bad

you just suck

im gonna drop a predator on your head

"The Predator was an ideal weapon against the Orks, who had few weapons that could penetrate its upgraded armour, and whose own armour offered no protection whatsoever against the tank’s reliable autocannon and heavy bolter armament."

the orks, galaxy-renowned for their guns with low stopping power

and their flimsy armor

this is awesome lmfao

[arctic talon]

Lol

[crystal forum]

the rhino's big thing is how easy it is to manufacture

[arctic talon]

I also like how the operator in Warframe has, many more mental issues and far looser morals then the drifter

Which is funny because one is a preteen/teen and the other is an adult

[crystal forum]

land raider lore is where it's at

submarine tank

[arctic talon]

I love child soldiers in fictional media, they’re a great source of dark comedy

[queen laurel]

Lmao

[arctic talon]

Ngl

The drifters weirdest stuff in 1999

The operators weirdest stuff is uh

What happened with Jade lmao

Real fucking QnA btw

The Fleetway Sonic comics are genuinely entertaining to read

Both as a Sonic fan who wants actual stories

i was sketching a symbol on a paper

then i made a mistake

and i reached to my computer and pressed ctrl z

and was confsued why it didnt disappear

[crystal forum]

can we take a moment to reflect on the electric state

i feel so sad that i can't even put it into words

[arctic talon]

bruh

[queen laurel]

Mags i know you are the greatest loon of the bad moon

But slow down of the mushrooms damn

[crystal forum]

@vagrant fox

what

i hate that notification for emojis

[vagrant fox]

Damn it notifies people, my bad babe

but elaborate

[crystal forum]

do you know what the electric state is

the graphic novel

[vagrant fox]

Never heard of it. I misread the sentence being about the general electric state of things because I just woke up again

[crystal forum]

it's an incredibly beautifully drawn visual story that i recommend getting an ebook of

https://youtu.be/BOdca_kJimE?si=OpzxLNoCoP3zh6uD

here's a video to listen to about it

[languid meadow]

Holy shit curious archive post

yippie !

[crystal forum]

his video has more than twice the views of the movie ad

anyways so yes the story is anti consumerism to the extreme

and they made a slop movie about it

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/its-bleak-bleak-its-peak-peak-homelander-gif-466413946589568151

I just remembered I've seen that video when I googled the thing

[languid meadow]

https://youtu.be/o0FiG7c6m48?si=NYtxmAfoFBrsifzV I hope he does speculative biology focused videos again one day

[crystal forum]

hold on im trying to be sad about electric state here

[languid meadow]

the meaning of the story is that movie companies can't be trusted

[crystal forum]

whoever greenlit the movie saw images in the book and decided that the movie should be about the war that happens previously

like how can you even

they saw

wait let me get pics from my ebook

[vagrant fox]

I kind of do too but he covers some interesting topics so I don't mind

[crystal forum]

they saw this

and went hell yeah

[rose thorn]

all ive gotten is planter peanut ads for it

how can i ever consider it with that alone

[crystal forum]

like

[rose thorn]

this looks fire

[crystal forum]

it's not even funny

there is such a melancholic feeling to the art

[languid meadow]

It's an beautiful world, it sucks what happened

[vagrant fox]

Not sure how you'd approach a movie for something like that and do it well

[crystal forum]

HOW CAN YOU MISS THE IMAGERY

the people in the book literally are controlled by their media

literal zombies

that's what they become

[rose thorn]

and

its

[crystal forum]

you could if you had a vision

[rose thorn]

sponsored by planters peantus

[vagrant fox]

Not my 5 am brain

[rose thorn]

was that in the book?

lol no

it's all fake mascots in the book

nvm then

i forgot there's actual ones

[rose thorn]

BRUBER KING

[crystal forum]

anyways capitalism consumes criticism of itself

i sleep now

[rose thorn]

LMAO

the military will jsut use the whale part

its missing something but i cant tell what

[queen laurel]

Some fins

[rose thorn]

oh shit

true

[queen laurel]

Yeah it looks like a snake missing its lower jaw ya need some fins in there

[rose thorn]

maybe i need to shleep-

[queen laurel]

Yeah i suggest you go

Do this when you have more sleep

[rose thorn]

I literally can’t see it not as a whale

I don’t see what’s wrong

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's true

[rose thorn]

I got uh

What’s it called

[queen laurel]

Why don't you make it a whale tail

You know what it looks like when it's like coming out of the water

[rose thorn]

I tried

I originally drew na idoneth symbol that turned into a whale

My original goal was like, 2 symbols that combine together to make a full picture

To represent the strong social bond between the idoneth the citizens

[queen laurel]

Zog i'm not sophisticated enough for this

[rose thorn]

I’m ripping off piltover and-

Z

Zoam-

Z

Hang on

[queen laurel]

Zaun you sleep deprived grot

[rose thorn]

Zaun

Yeah

Maybe I need to use more negative space

Porbbwlg

[queen laurel]

Are you all right?

[rose thorn]

Can’t spell

Back at my dorm and my want to murder my roommate

I mentally rewrote my city of sigmar to a completely new angle I really reallly like

[queen laurel]

This is the whale bone one right

[rose thorn]

Yeah

So

Moving the entire city under water

And combining the enclave with the city

They are the same place

Nanuletach and Le’tach

[queen laurel]

Me making an isopod foot long then suddenly my creator decides to move my city in the water

[rose thorn]

Lmao

It’s water isopods already so it’s fine

Additionally isopods have gills

But yeah, the citizens are 100% aware of the soul thing

But instead they see it as rebirth

And the enclave has a powerful philosophy about family linages and shit

Human family trees and idoneth family trees tie together all the time

When you invite family to dinner, you invite the idoneth who use your grandparent’s souls

To them becoming an idoneth is an escape from the threat of Nagash

[queen laurel]

Well that's certainly better than what an average

Idoneth does to the surface

At least there's something called consent

[rose thorn]

In terms of exports they create deep sea exploitation stuff using idoneth aether sea magic

[opaque coyote]

Isopods in general are freaky

[rose thorn]

the citizens have escaped the affects of pressure madness, so they can safely roam the ocean floor with the aether sea

[queen laurel]

Walking in the deep sea ocean without the pressure crushing you that's nice

Until they stumble to a giant sea monster i guess

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[opaque coyote]

Jokes on you, they are the giant sea monster

[rose thorn]

They can still die due to pressure

But they don’t go insane anymore

Which even affects idoneth

[queen laurel]

I'm talking about in aos terms of like giant krakens or megalodons

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/isopod-isopod-pet-giant-isopod-giant-isopod-pet-isopod-cute-gif-3489078453437852338

Friend

[opaque coyote]

Counter point.

Homebrew Colossal Isopod

[rose thorn]

Nanuletach isopod shells are used to create the special armor

[opaque coyote]

Apparently there's a species of Giant Isopod named after Darth Vader

Bathynomus vaderi

[rose thorn]

Oooo

[opaque coyote]

Oh shit really

That is cool af

[rose thorn]

The isopods are special because they specifically eat from the whale god beast skeleton they live in

[arctic talon]

You’re stealing the unified crest?

Neat

[rose thorn]

The idea

Not the exact uh,

Thing

Symbol

[opaque coyote]

So they gained extreme durability because of consuming the god flesh

Well God whale

[rose thorn]

Yeah!

[queen laurel]

Still the same on that department glad it stayed

[rose thorn]

And it conducts idoneth magic very welll

[queen laurel]

Is cooking still a big thing

[arctic talon]

I see

[rose thorn]

Not sure

They don’t fish anymore tho They literally go hunting

But deep under water

[queen laurel]

Oh well i will miss my isopod foot long jokes

[rose thorn]

I think my city will be in shyish now tho, so the fear of Nagash is literlaly like

Right there

[queen laurel]

Didn't you say you have like too many things on that place so you want to like

Expand your horizons

If you want to move them there go on i'm just saying

[rose thorn]

I had too much in Ghur

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's true

[rose thorn]

Also shyish has very lively oceans apparently

Stealing my favorite part of morrowind world building

So most of the buildings like this are made from gaint extinct crabs

They just

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/e/eb/Ald'Ruhn-Under-Skar_Interior_Morrowind.png/revision/latest?cb=20160616142643

Hallow them out

[queen laurel]

The crab meat must go insane

If you catch these things live

[arctic talon]

It’s prolly absurdly tough

[queen laurel]

Yeah probably can only be eaten by an ogre first place

[rose thorn]

Spoilers for a 19 year old game

[rose thorn]

Zombie lobster

I imagine the people literally hunt those daily

[arctic talon]

monster hunter 3 reference

[opaque coyote]

How do they like make new weapons

[queen laurel]

the MH Brainrot is strong with this one

[opaque coyote]

Or are they made out of like

Monster Bones

Like MH

[arctic talon]

It always has been

[queen laurel]

the isopod is harvested and made into Equipment

[arctic talon]

its just revived because wilds is new

[opaque coyote]

Mfw literally the best part of Skyrim is going back to a part of Morrowwind

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

@rose thorn do the people use geothermal vents or something for like heat

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

cool

[rose thorn]

I think idoneth unironically do that

I’m trying to find what their metal was called again

The idoneth silver

[arctic talon]

ngl

thats kind of a boring name

but so are like the 3 different golds™️

[rose thorn]

It’s called like sea silver or something like that

[queen laurel]

UR-GOLD AETHER GOLD

[arctic talon]

that is marginally better

I wish they wouldn't use the word silver though

[rose thorn]

Oh they literally use ‘steelshell’

They just make their stuff out of ocean stuff

Sea shells, pearls, treasure

[queen laurel]

not gonna lie i will say that Ironjawz using literally half digested metal scrap that they call pig iron and beat into shapes of weapons and and armor can somehow keep up to the other advance materials of the other races says a lot

[rose thorn]

Sea silver is just special the box art boys

So uhhh

Mine will be made of isopods

Nanuletach steel babyyyyy

Unless someone has a better isopod shell metal name

[arctic talon]

I think it sounds great

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's pretty good

[rose thorn]

Who listens to mumble rap at 1:25 in the morning

[queen laurel]

So just isopod metal

Made out of their shells right

[rose thorn]

Yeah

Great conduit for ocean magjc

[queen laurel]

what about Chitinsteel

[opaque coyote]

Honestly once got woke up at 1 am with California girls playing upstairs

[rose thorn]

That sounds amazing, I might steal that for something else

[rose thorn]

HAHEHEHBEHS

[opaque coyote]

College dorms

Moment

[queen laurel]

i will admit one thing it is a bit of a cop out on my end because it's not mine but just keep it for later

[opaque coyote]

Posedianium?

[queen laurel]

bro that sounds like something that will reach the higher ups

[opaque coyote]

Nah too dumb sounding

[rose thorn]

I hope volturnos gets a regiment of renown

Because he has specifically been pushing for idoneth x everyone else relationships

Also the idoneth probably still do raids tbh

Since Namarti need a semi constantly flow of souls

Actually I think all their souls do

I’m going to bed

Too many fish on the brain

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-eating-fish-eating-from-spoon-feeding-fish-fish-food-yngqis-gif-20301545

[rose thorn]

I could tie soulbound-ing

To my city

Maybe ‘families’ of idoneth and families of citizens soulbound to each other

[queen laurel]

the scale of that might not be a good idea

[rose thorn]

one line down ‘often deadly’

Oh

Apparently soulbound-ing makes idoneth not have thier souls decay

[rose thorn]

Thanks-

I couldn’t find a Lex page on it

Okay now I sleep

[queen laurel]

Good night

[dusky scroll]

Today I learned, Bobby G's best nickname was given by Curze, ||Avenging beancounter||

[dusky scroll]

Necron tech is the higher tier in 40k. Is this something they themselves invented or was it given by C'tan?

[dusk patrol]

Little column a little column b

They had very advanced tech prior

[crisp heath]

I can't wait for this game. It's allready pre installed lol

I have somehow only now learned that T'au battlesuits can fly

https://tenor.com/view/were-leaving-leaving-leave-left-event-horizon-gif-26732665

[crisp heath]

They don't make movies like they used to

[raven stone]

Original Alien movies (less so the modern ones)

The modern ones are not terrible, but truly cannot quite measure up.

[raven stone]

For various reasons, definitely

[crisp heath]

Alien 1 and 2 were great requim was fun but onwards from requim the quality did drop however I did enjoy parts of promethius

[raven stone]

Prometheus - if only the writers did not specify the crew were scientists 😅

They do NOT act like scientists in the most remote sense.

Horror wise is tops

[crisp heath]

The whole Jesus was a engineer was a unexpected suprise lmao , explains why they hate humans 🤣

Not sure if it's confirmed

[sacred bluff]

Prometheus was great and so was Covenant

I'm still waiting to see Romulus

[sacred bluff]

They literally were doing nothing but science stuff, exploring the unknown and collecting samples

[storm jungle]

it was scrapped last minute iirc

because Ridley is a fucking hack

[raven stone]

You know the scene I am talking about :p
“oh the alien snake is hissing at me what should I do? I know let’s touch it!”
🤣

[crisp heath]

I didn't really like covenant or the new one , the new morph was cool but it does not feel like a old alien movie

[sacred bluff]

That's sciency af

[raven stone]

Not in the way the actors presented it 😅

[sacred bluff]

Sure

[storm jungle]

Yeah like no offense you are in a hostile environment

would you touch a fucking cobra doing that at you???

😭

[crisp heath]

The new predator movies were not that great either imo

[raven stone]

https://youtu.be/JLbcZggwVCw?feature=shared

Prometheus is still good at portraying horror

[sacred bluff]

I'm touching everything

[raven stone]

But this parody also stands.

[storm jungle]

the one with the native girl was peak imo

and uhhh... the other competitor is The Predator

and we dont talk about that one

[sacred bluff]

Prey

[storm jungle]

[sacred bluff]

Prey was good, so was Predators

The one with the predator on earth was meh but fun

[crisp heath]

The predator is the one I'm talking about

[storm jungle]

i dont think anyone liked that movie

[crisp heath]

Prey was pretty good in parts

[storm jungle]

so dont worry lol

[shadow plover]

Prey was fucking great actually

[storm jungle]

yeah Prey was fucking awesome

[crisp heath]

Was similar to the 1st movie imo

As in its like a hunt

[queen laurel]

the feral Yautja was baller

[storm jungle]

well yeah thats what predators do!!!

😭

[sacred bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8fwWLv_x5A

[crisp heath]

Movies like prey apocalypto and those kind of , chase movies are always a good watch

[sacred bluff]

Bear fucked him up for a minute

[storm jungle]

bro that skull crack punch in the end, jesus

[crisp heath]

Apocalypto is about society collapse

[storm jungle]

im sure the conquistadors in the end will help out

[crisp heath]

Not me thinking the inquisition and conquistadors were the same

[queen laurel]

i only want one thing in the alien movies and that is do not touch Jeri

[crisp heath]

Is this real? I'm not familiar w the comics

[queen laurel]

yeah

Jeri the infiltrator xenomorph android

[crisp heath]

Oooh that's awesome

[raven stone]

If we talking comics

There is that one weird crossover

Avengers VS Alien

Avengers were apparently dumbed down to give the Alien face huggers a chance 😅

[tough haven]

High bar though

[tough haven]

That’s literally exactly how they move

[vagrant fox]

Xenomorphs huh

[storm jungle]

Appropriate reaction

[vagrant fox]

although i've seen them with lips and it totally ruins the whole thing

[storm jungle]

That was one of Giger's ideas for Alien 3

you wanna know why lol

[vagrant fox]

for once he did not cook

[storm jungle]

Yeah uh

basically it kisses you, shoves its tongue down your throat, then rips out your internal organs

The director was like

"Aight Giger uhhh see me after work"

this man was on another level of cooking

[crisp heath]

Did anyone else really like requim lol

[storm jungle]

no lmao

[fossil current]

Lore question! This might be super basic but what is the psyker actually creating when they use Assail? Is it ice? Glass? Wraithbone?

[crisp heath]

It was wacky but it worked imo

[storm jungle]

Basically solidified warp energy

wraithbone is for Eldar

its a reference to one of the dark heresy RPG abilities where a psyker player/user can make solid warp-stuff to use as weapons etc

[crystal forum]

there is a very high amount of small scale 40k lore that comes directly from rpg's which i have never interacted with

[storm jungle]

RPGs like Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader are what really explores the guts of the setting

[fossil current]

Ok so it’s just the immaterium stuff

[storm jungle]

yeah pretty much

its akin to a wizard just making a sword from ice

[fossil current]

So true, I’m trying to get my psyker build to at least feel as powerful as an average psyker rogue trader set up

[crystal forum]

tf2 spy-cicle

[storm jungle]

You can get really powerful psykers on the RPGs for 40k so we are already halfway there dont worry

[crystal forum]

find a singe fantasy based setting where wizards aren't op

[crisp heath]

Impossible

That would be a cool idea for a setting tho , everyone's becoming magic but it drastically reduces their life so their doing there best to slow the process down

[fossil current]

In rogue trader my commissar had a pyskic awakening and now can read people’s thoughts to improve his military strategies. The inquisition doesn’t need to know that

[crystal forum]

commissar being able to read people's thoughts but not being able to yell directly into their heads

[fossil current]

Bolter chainsword still his primary weapons but any advantage you can take, y’know?

[storm jungle]

Very neat idea I approve
