"we cant have men under arms as an army so we'll use women instead"

its still prelavent in 9th edition as well

[young pecan]

SoB exist at least very closely secondarily because GW wants sex to sell

[dapper gyro]

Now they need to make their table top and lore a little better.

[young pecan]

Maybe take the nipple marks off of the breastplate armor

xd

[storm jungle]

Also correct

they basically exist as the "girl army"

its why so many dumbass guys go "just play sisters if you are a girly girl"

[rose thorn]

literally if you pretend fanart didnt exist the horniest thing about SoB is just having rosery nipples

[storm jungle]

obnoxious af

[dapper gyro]

Their lore are usually funny, and their table top always get hard nerf the moment they are good.

[young pecan]

And the armor in general being unrealistically formed

But yeah

[dapper gyro]

They take the breastplate literally.

[rose thorn]

GAH SO SEXY IM GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[dapper gyro]

Also, their bolter has goofy name...

[young pecan]

The rosette is bigger than the boob

As it should be

[rose thorn]

liek sisetrsof silence are almost more horny then them

thats how modest they are

[young pecan]

Never seen SoS tbhing

Oh true

[storm jungle]

some of the Sisters of Silence art is horny as fuck i love it

they literally treat psykers like gimps

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[dapper gyro]

Nah, people don't like shaved head.

Not enough sex to sell.

[dapper gyro]

Ventress gets hair in the newest season of the Clone War though.

[sacred bluff]

Ventress dies in Dark Disciple

😔

[dapper gyro]

Somehow, she returned.

[sacred bluff]

I don't think so

I think bad batch happened before she went and tried to kill Dooku

[dapper gyro]

Dooku is already dead as Anakin is already Darth Vader.

[rose thorn]

when has a starwars character died for longer than 15 minutes

[tall plinth]

Who would win in a fight, Watto from Star Wars or the Emperor of Mankind

A bit of a toss up if you ask me

[rose thorn]

acutally this applies to most scifi settings

[sacred bluff]

Anakin didn't turn into vader until the very end of CLone wars

[dapper gyro]

But he killed Dooku long before the order 66.

[sacred bluff]

After her apparent death and the end of the Clone Wars,[62] Ventress continued her travels covertly on a personal starship and with a new yellow lightsaber.

Never mind

I didn't watch bad batch s2 and 3

[dapper gyro]

Yes, hence the "somehow".

[sacred bluff]

I thought the timeline was different

[dapper gyro]

Disney Star Wars moment

[paper haven]

Death isn't real

[rocky gale]

Unfortunately Dark Disciple sucks and Ventress ||dieing to save Quinlan Vos is dumb||, so everyone should ignore it

[sacred bluff]

it's romantic

[rocky gale]

Bruh it's Quinlan Vos

[paper haven]

I don't even know who that is

[rocky gale]

Bro fell to evil and named himself Admiral Enigma

He deserves to die

Not for being evil, for being cringe

[paper haven]

Admiral Enigma?

[rocky gale]

Yea

[dapper gyro]

Vos is really a hypocrite of a character.

[paper haven]

Disgusting

[sacred bluff]

Can't blame him, you obviously never spent that much time around a baddie

[dapper gyro]

He tried to do the morale high ground on people while he turns his coats more than the machine can wash.

[sacred bluff]

He not a hypocrite

Just like fell to bad

It happens

Quite a lot

Sith are alluring

Sure they kill each other all the time

[storm jungle]

Sith are pretty hot so therefore they are morally correct

I can’t read

Bone conduction headphones?

[dapper gyro]

Too expensive

You know both of those cost money?

[sly ivy]

This plot though I should say sounds a lot like the 80s movie masterpiece Leviathan

[opaque coyote]

I have actually had an idea of sorts

Basically uh

DAoT ship crash lands on planet.

Planet turns out to be less than hospitable to the humans there.

The crew slowly die in painful ways.

The AI of the ship loves the crew. Will do anything to keep them alive, safe, and happy.

ANYTHING.

A voices comes out from the sky. A gurgling, but gentle voice.

[sly ivy]

Omg

[opaque coyote]

"I have the power to save your crew."

[dapper gyro]

So... Event Horizon?

Or just Alien...

[sly ivy]

I like it

[raven stone]

Slaanesh or Nurgle both work. Tzeentch, even.

[opaque coyote]

AI firstly refuses it, tries to deny it, but as the captain dies. The AI gives up and takes it.

The crew is... "alive" but undying. Some part of their biology, maybe due to advanced vaccinations of something, prevents them from feeling the euphoric "joy" that Nurgle people often have.

So they're alive but suffering. They feel every moment. They CAN'T die.

But the AI, fully on Chaos and Delulu juice, is fine with this. They're alive. They're happy.

They're... safe.

[dapper gyro]

This sound like some BDSM cult stuff.

[sly ivy]

There’s so much narrative potential at the weird fringes of 40K lore like the daot ais

[raven stone]

Slaanesh version - crew is trapped in an Euphoric dream world, their souls slowly devoured by Slaanesh as the AI keeps the crew asleep but alive in their survival pods.

Tzeentch version - the crew are mutated beyond human form to survive the new planet and brainwashed to be happy

Or are "happy in insanity"

[dapper gyro]

There is an episode like that in Love, Death and Robot.

Season 2 I think

[opaque coyote]

Khorne would be like:

"TOUGHEN UP BITCH BOYS. HERE'S SOME STEROIDS"

[sly ivy]

I want to see a really insidious Slaanesh or Tzeentch corruption case where no one on the planet / city / whatever has mutations or any of that shit

But their thought processes and morality are just subtly but horribly off

Like some Midsommar kind of thing

[opaque coyote]

To be honest the problem is that's a bit hard considering the average Imperial city is already

miserable

full of brainwashed people

[sly ivy]

Yeah but the ordinary people have like… normal default human morality as we see over and again

They’re just oppressed

And brainwashed yes

Idk it would be hard to pull off

[opaque coyote]

I guess for Tzeentch, the city just casually defys space and logic

The alleyway suddenly goes to the local fucking pawn shop

Changes everyday

[sly ivy]

Yeah anything more subtle than MUTANT CHAOOS PEOPLE

[dapper gyro]

@opaque coyote "Beyond the Aquila Rift" from Love Death and Robot.

[opaque coyote]

Similar to my idea?

[dapper gyro]

Yes

[opaque coyote]

Interesting

[sly ivy]

Is this silly cartoon worth watching people mention it a lot

[dapper gyro]

Yes

[opaque coyote]

Tank

[dapper gyro]

It makes you ask many philosophical questions about live.

[dapper gyro]

T-34/85!

[opaque coyote]

Like Black Mirror except not becoming mid?

[dapper gyro]

Depend on episode

[opaque coyote]

Yeah makes sense.

[dapper gyro]

Some are better than other

[sly ivy]

That’s the one where the prime minister porks a pig

Thought it was a documentary

[opaque coyote]

Also I want to say this for no reason.

I think BioShock 2 is better than BioShock Infinite

[dapper gyro]

Bioshock 3 is an unfinished game.

[sly ivy]

How dare u

[opaque coyote]

I mean yeah.

Story also kinda sucks ass

For Infinite

Listen there is like zero stakes since they casually switch between universes

[sly ivy]

Bioshock infinite big boob blue dress girl

[opaque coyote]

Why the fuck should I care about Vox Populi and Columbia if you can literally just

Dimension travel out of there

[dapper gyro]

... Isn't she under age.

[opaque coyote]

I think she's like 20

Unsure about that though

[sly ivy]

No

She is not real

Silly

[opaque coyote]

...anyways

BioShock 2 has much better gameplay than the first one

[sly ivy]

Yeahhhh

[opaque coyote]

Although the level design is a bit repetitive at times

BioShock 1's story is great

But I definitely think that 2 shouldn't have been relegated to being the black sheep

[noble salmon]

Question

Why did KHORNE

[raven stone]

Ironically would be best fate compared to the other 3.

[noble salmon]

The BLOOD god

Choose the World Eaters instead of the Blood Angels?

[opaque coyote]

He wanted the Blood Angels asw

[celest dome]

Cause he failed to get Sanguinus

[opaque coyote]

He just didn't get them successfully

[noble salmon]

Oh

[celest dome]

World Eater were his back up choice

[noble salmon]

So the world eaters are the second choice?

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[noble salmon]

Immagine if the Blood angels had Angron as a Primarch

[opaque coyote]

@celest dome honestly I'm just sad that Tzeentch didn't also go after the Alpha Legion

OR MAYBE HE DID???

vine thud

[arctic talon]

They would probably just all die

[opaque coyote]

But seriously though

[arctic talon]

Angron would have killed them all

Lol

And they’d have let him

The BA pre sanguinius were ready to get purged from imperial history for their brutality and crimes lol

[noble salmon]

Another thing I never got frankly

[sly ivy]

Khorne wants the blood angels so bad

[celest dome]

I think they mean more about what if Sanguinus haf become a Khornate Deamon Prince d

[noble salmon]

They were also already red

[sly ivy]

Gentlemen prefer blondes

[arctic talon]

Nah they said this

[noble salmon]

They just needed some skulls and BAM

Perfect

[sly ivy]

And Khorne is a gental man

[arctic talon]

And the reality would be the BA would have been fully killed by angron lol

[opaque coyote]

I mean the blood Angels also literally drink blood

[arctic talon]

Either that or they’d try to kill him and eat him

[opaque coyote]

Probably a brawl

[arctic talon]

More likely just they’d all let themselves die

[dusk patrol]

There's also the element of the other chaos gods work against eachother, so they're not gonna be keen on letting eachother claim too much.

[arctic talon]

^

[dusk patrol]

They gang up on eachother when one starts getting ahead.

[tough haven]

Would anyone like to read my (mostly) completed one shot?

[dapper gyro]

The moment he asks his legion to cull themselves, they would all go into black rage and killing each other.

No one survives.

[dusk patrol]

The plans to corrupt each primarch they did were pretty elaborate and took some time.

[opaque coyote]

40k is an eternal TTRPG session and they're not ending it by one player somehow winning

[noble salmon]

🙋🏻
But only if you give feedback on my Splinterfleet lore

[celest dome]

Did Angron ask that ?

[dusk patrol]

Not wrong

[tough haven]

Deal

So who goes first

[noble salmon]

You

Dm it

[young pecan]

That would be cool

[dapper gyro]

That's what I recall.

[opaque coyote]

It would be extremely funny if the Chaos Gods literally just saw themselves as like

Regular people.

The warp is simply a table.

They're all roommates

[tough haven]

Alright, but fair warning, it’s pretty disorganized, I tried to clean it up a bit

[young pecan]

I recall you've been working on it a while

[noble salmon]

What kills me is that each and every primarch does what he does for DADDY issues

[tough haven]

Do you want it dm’d?

[noble salmon]

Except Konrad

[celest dome]

Perturabo is the one I think of

[noble salmon]

Konrad’s just Sadic

[young pecan]

Mhm mhm

I'll read it in bits and pieces as I have time to

[arctic talon]

Post in chat if you want as well

[opaque coyote]

40k would've been much less exciting if the Emperor was actually a decent Dad

[arctic talon]

I’m fine with that

[celest dome]

Quite few Primarch could really be mentioned as having daddy issues.
Mostly just Perturabo and Lorgar

[opaque coyote]

Tbf for Lorgar

His dad caused most of the issues LMAO

[noble salmon]

I mean
There would still be Orks, Tyranids and Necromancer to deal with

[opaque coyote]

"Hey Dad I made a book praising you as a G-"

YOU'RE A FUCKING MISTAKE. I'M BURNING DOWN YOUR CITY!

[noble salmon]

The only factions I see working “Together” are T’au, Aeldar, Imperium and the (Newly Refound) Votanns

IF the Emperor was a good dad

[hallow plover]

Kor phaeron raising him also didnt help

[opaque coyote]

The Imperium is too racist to work with anybody for longer than like

One war

[tough haven]

@noble salmon @young pecan dm’d it to y’all

[opaque coyote]

The T'au are the definition of

[noble salmon]

Thanks

[opaque coyote]

"it's my way or the highway"

Still better than most where it's just the highway tho

[tough haven]

So long as the war never ends, the alliance can stay

[noble salmon]

ORKS AND TYRANIDS ARE ALLIES

[tough haven]

Instead of “I don’t care what you pick, I’m killing you”

[noble salmon]

No one can tell me ptherwise

[dapper gyro]

They don't understand that having cheap Dark elf pos is a good deal.

[opaque coyote]

Nah.

Orks don't really ally with other races.

They wanna fight.

Tyranids don't ally with other races.

They wanna eat.

[tough haven]

I mean, they each want to win over the other one

Orks might keep nids around since then bugeyes and the bugeye boyz are always a good scrap, but that’s about it

[noble salmon]

Octarious War

[tough haven]

Nids will just eat

[noble salmon]

Literally the best thing that happened to them both was fighting each other

[tough haven]

That wasn’t an alliance, it was more like gaslighting

[noble salmon]

Therefore

They are allies

[tough haven]

That only fucked the imperium

[noble salmon]

In a weird kinky way

[tough haven]

I feel like that’s the opposite logic

[dapper gyro]

Necrons don't usually ally with other races.

They can barely ally with each other.

[noble salmon]

Tau, on the other hand

[tough haven]

Orks are gonna fight anything that’s fun for them to fight, until it stops being fun, or stops being

[noble salmon]

I wonder if Tyranids see different chapters as different flavors

[sly ivy]

Lmaoooo

I mean they literally are made of mostly human thoughts and emotions (and souls) at the moment

Well Slaanesh has a lot of stinky elves

[tall plinth]

Maybe not tyranids but perhaps kroot

[dusk patrol]

They do target them specifically

We know the hive mind was especially malicious towards the BA for example

[sacred bluff]

I dated a sister of battle once

Great time

[noble salmon]

And it also tracked down and sent a male petit to kill a Librarian

[sacred bluff]

a petite male?

[noble salmon]

Fuck

A Maleceptor

[dusk patrol]

I feel like something may have been lost in translation.

There you go

[noble salmon]

I’m leaving the Typo for contest

[arctic talon]

Rathalos compared to Rathian/j

[dusk patrol]

There’s a contest?

[sacred bluff]

Rathalos just flies like coward

[noble salmon]

Tyranids go for Blueberry and Strawberry

[arctic talon]

It’s also smaller

And less muscular

Except it’s 10x more annoying and the fire hurts so much

[sacred bluff]

Uses fire AND has a poison tail swipe

🙄

[arctic talon]

Tbf both of them do that

[noble salmon]

What’s a Rathalos?

[arctic talon]

It’s a monster from monster hunter

[noble salmon]

Oh

Still have to try the game

Any of the saga

Suggestions?

[arctic talon]

Wilds is the newest one, you should play it

Between the older mainline games imo 4U is best but it’s 3ds only

For the older best game from the secondary team generations ultimate

[noble salmon]

I should try Titanfall as well

[arctic talon]

But monster hunter wilds is def the newest and most beginner friendly

[raven stone]

@opaque coyote late, but 40k would be far better if Emps was an Asian dad.
Yes you know what I am talking about.
“Horus, Y u listen to the weird dreams? Wat are u STOOPID?”

[misty vector]

really cool that its an air raid siren

[stuck arrow]

Relic hunting was kinda ass but 4U was indeed great. It kinda looks like the CB has been brought back to its 4U form in Wilds. Although I dunno if it still deals the ludicrous amount of stun it used to in 4U.

[arctic talon]

MH wilds is pretty much a successor to 4U tbh

in a lot of ways

the choice of environments, the relic weapons, though this time they're all in the same Artian style

[stuck arrow]

I just wish I liked Wilds art direction

[misty vector]

really wish gammoth was here though

[stuck arrow]

The murder mammoth

[misty vector]

but she really would not fit in the cliffs

Wonder if Jho is coming back

hoping she shows up in master rank though....

if i had to guess probably not

I'll probably try the game when master rank comes out. And it's on discount.

Hey @arctic talon does the twistweald have any place in the Sylvaneth meta? Their ability seems really good

[arctic talon]

there are better options

they are decent though

Spite revenants are better

[rose thorn]

Ice, I’m not sure how compact Sylvaneth play I was curious because their decrease charge ability

I think that was an ability kruleboyz had last edition, but I might be thinking of a different faction

Maybe Gloomspite

[viral halo]

I find the concept of stealthy space marines to be very funny

always have

bit of an oxymoron

[dusk patrol]

Phobos definitely makes it work in my head better

[vagrant fox]

I read some hema anecdote where some cavalry guys in heavy armour managed to sneak around using terrain so it's somewhat plausible
But it's 40k and it's cool so it works

[dusk patrol]

It definitely works better in Warzones, you have literal tank columns which snuck around behind enemy lines in some battles in World War II

[rose thorn]

I swore to god there was lore that thier power packs muted out the sound of their armor

[dusk patrol]

They are

Corvus pattern is built for it and RG have special made suits even then

As well as other silenced gun variants, like Astartes shotguns

And modified jump packs which dampen noise and light, stuff like that.

Although tbh they mostly aren’t going for always being silent, just striking and fading back and hitting the enemy again from a different position

The RG homeworld is a forgeworld so they get a lot of custom stuff

[viral halo]

Sounds like a load of hooey; big armor big dude big noise

[vagrant fox]

Ur gonna make big noise when eternal foots ur ass

[opaque coyote]

Shout out to Michelangelo. When the Pope’s Master of Ceremonies said the Sistine Chapel was too scandalous because of the nudity and that he wanted to destroy it, Michelangelo painted his likeness into the Last Judgement portion of the Chapel as being in Hell with donkey ears and a snake eating his genitals.

When the guy demanded that the Pope force Michelangelo to remove his likeness from the painting, the Pope (who loved Michelangelo’s work) humorously replied that he couldn’t do that because the Pope have the power to take people out of Hell.

[opaque coyote]

No idea how tf you would silence a bolter... or why. Like guns are already loud with silencers. Imagine trying to quiet a Bolter.

But I'm not the Sneaky Raven Guard (tm)

[raven stone]

I mean TBF Deathwatch have those sniping Boltguns, presumably they MIGHT have built in silencers (and guns with silencers built into them at construction do exist)

You also have the Heresy era Sniping Bolt rifles

[rose thorn]

instead of going deaf and blind when a boltgun is fired next to your head you just go deaf

[opaque coyote]

To be honest high power snipers usually are used far away so silencers make sense

Also seriously a Deathwatch game would be sick

Like come on that has so much potential

Why don't we have that GW?

[raven stone]

Because message unclear, more Ultramarines, more Titus :p

[opaque coyote]

They can use Xenos weapons (if Radical)

Imagine how fucking cool it would be to casually use a T'au pulse rifle

Like you scavenge it from dead T'au and now it's permanently in your armory

Or a Necron Blade

Or even a Deldar weapon (the more useful ones)

Do you know how cool it would be to mix and match that type of shit?

[raven stone]

I will be honest I am sincerely surprised looted pulse rifles are not more common in lore.
Necron blades, DW already uses that…
Drukhari weapons, I think the only reason that would fail, is IoM cannot actually make ammo for that

Pulse rifle ammo is definitely in IoM tech territory

[dusk patrol]

They use slugs no explosive

Subsonic

[opaque coyote]

Probably because "Xenos bad I hate Xenos" but they do exist

[opaque coyote]

That makes more sense

[opaque coyote]

I mean tbh I want either a DW or a CSM Space Marine type game

I technically said SM twice but the second time was to specify what type

Anyways, playing as Chaos would be cool

Imagine using Daemon Weapons

And it'd be a true opportunity to show even more grimdark(tm).

Because the Imperium are the poster boy faction. You can't have them look too bad in ADVERTISING.

But Chaos?

MAIM KILL BURN

MAIM KILL BURN

[raven stone]

I mean, in the current climate, you would be a bit hard pressed to tell GW they can get away with Chaos protag 😅

But in principle, yes, Chaos game would be cool.

[opaque coyote]

Like... There's more breathing room to do morally questionable things

For example, friendly fire

Maybe you could just

Massacre the traitor guard NPCs

It's not like anybody would blame you for being inefficient. Or at least have them do something wrong

You're Chaos!

Say it was the dark Gods will.

Also using Dark Sorcery and Psyker shit would be really cool

[dusk patrol]

I really want a Deathwatch XCOM-like game

[opaque coyote]

[99% chance to hit]

[dusk patrol]

There’s already some mods but

It’s such a perfect system for it

[vagrant fox]

That would be cool. Isn't there a mod for it?

Ah yea

[dusk patrol]

You already have the classes, chapter modifiers

Lots of customization and different armor types

[raven stone]

The percentages are only reliable if you are flanking, is what I found.
The hit chance is a hit chance, which is not inclusive of the enemy dodge chance.

[jade holly]

You’ve lost over 90% of your party to one fight…

TOTAL VICTORY

[opaque coyote]

To this day I still don't know what's funnier

Win screens that still congratulate you even though you did shit

Or Win Screens that specifically change if you did shit

Sonic Unleashed is a case of the latter btw.

There are different versions of the victory theme depending on the rank. The worse the rank is, the shittier the song is

So if you get the lowest rank, you get this version of the song

https://youtu.be/HAChq41MUHU?si=Pz3jKvSfVCC7ezoj

They specifically made the orchestra play off tune and shitty just so that they can say "YOU SUCK"

Sadly Unleashed is the only game with an E ranking

The lowest in most modern Sonic Games is a D rank

[raven stone]

Mod this to play on a XCom2 code black…

decided to revisit MW2019 after not playing it for almost four years...somehow i still had more fun playing this than any of the recent titles.

[languid meadow]

still angry they limited the shadow company skins to fucking master prestige in the later titles

the 2019 SC look so much better than their older counterparts

[winter vessel]

yeah that was BS. We should've just gotten the Milsim skin as a participation reward for that Shadow Siege event. and with the amount NPC variants you find in the game, it tells me they had enough to make it their own faction instead of that weird Specgru and Kortac.

and man Velikan's design in MW2 Reboot just doesn't work for me compared to his launch skin

[languid meadow]

does he have reactive armour on his suit

[opaque coyote]

Similar to the original MW2

They got a game that revolutionized the formula

Tried new things that revitalized the franchise

...

And then beat it like a dead horse

Such is the lifespan of a franchise

[winter vessel]

it kinda looks like it, the stuff on tanks, so its a bit weird.

[drifting cloud]

Idea for a sect of the cult mechanicus; the Reclaimer Cults

A sect of the cult mechanicus known for their obsession for salvage, innovation, reverse engineering and the scientific method. The priests of this sect have come to a different understanding of mechanicus doctrine; where they take the functions of old technology and expound on existing theory. They ask questions, often, annoyingly so. They are cursed with curiosity as they take ancient tech apart for study and the creation of new variants of old tech. The Reclaimers don’t touch alien tech, and still hate the xenos with a passion; however, recently due to dwindling resources, some very small segments of the reclaimers have been sanctioned to make small discoveries concerning on how to combat the xenos by taking apart their technology. The Lord Fabricator of the Reclaimers, Commodus-22, hopes to compile a large database of their discoveries and send it to Holy Terra to lord Belisarius Cawl and Gulliaman to share their groundbreaking research. Most have a rather great relationship with the inquisition, the ordo mechanicus and ordo xenos in particular due to the effectiveness of their research and the results they’ve been getting. However, if a puritan inquisitor were to so much as sniff in the direction of the Reclaimers, the whole cult could be sanctioned for tech heresy; if they took the time to investigate further than their documentation, which has the appropriate dogma and the dates have been pushed back into ancient past for their own protection. The Reclaimers are characterised for their white robes with crimson trim, and polished implements in stainless steel and chrome; they are unusually clean, sterile and precise. They are often seen obsessively calibrating and cleaning their instruments when not conducting experiments and tests.

[dusk patrol]

It’s a lot like Forgeworld Stygius, be a good setting for them

I’d just add more, collecting data obsessively is pretty much the Ad Mechs MO

[late osprey]

the sterility is a fun angle to go with

maybe their cult bases are considered hazardous for normal people because the extents they go to keep their places clean use dangerous chemicals

[drifting cloud]

It's more about how their data is collected and how much they have. Especially on things like safer and more stable plasma weapons and the similarities between xenos tech and humanity's during the golden and dark age of technology

Their obsession on STC tech lead to them reverse engineering on how to create them to a small extent; thus allowing the manufacturering of smaller, simpler blueprints and constructs for commonly broken pieces of equipment that the average citizen can repair

They basically make instruction manuals for vehicles, appliances, and other things that can be repaired by people othrr than tech priests, due to the limited resources of their home region

[pearl brook]

After ive read mechanicum i got really sad because i realized how much technological advancement actually got lost during the great betrayl....

[celest dome]

I want to have a tide game where this is a Monster we can face

[queen laurel]

it would be fun yeah

[celest dome]

Might be too big though

[queen laurel]

just use the smaller ones

[queen laurel]

i can see a rotting promethean working

[shadow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-crab-knife-mg-excelsus-gif-26926901

[celest dome]

But they're less impressive

Ideally I'd want small monster being able to Spawn on any map, and big monster that can Spawn on certain map segments

So Rotting Leviathan, Necrofex Collosus...

[queen laurel]

to be fair with giant things like that

we can just try to design maps around it

like you know dealing with the rat mage that has a rat ogre with double gatling guns

[celest dome]

Somewhat like Lords, ye that could work too

[shadow plover]

Think they had a chance for that when the last map came out, in the arena before the final battle

[green loom]

Tasty

[crimson vault]

What's DT's Mission Cannon order? What the our reject's first mission, and what Mission got them accepted officially in the Warband.

[celest dome]

There isn't really any

At least for the launch missions

[tall plinth]

Who would win, an Ork boy or 7,000 crabs

[late osprey]

that's A LOT of crabs

[tall plinth]

Exactly

[queen laurel]

just hands?

[tall plinth]

Yeah

No armor, too

[raven stone]

In that case, my money is on the Crabs.

[tall plinth]

really?

Interesting

[queen laurel]

an ork boy is strong like easily RIP a human's limbs and survives a hit that can cave in a human headstrong

but just like ripper swarms death by 1000 cuts

[raven stone]

I do feel Crabs are small enough to be able to avoid an Ork’s strength

[late osprey]

serious answer, no

[raven stone]

Kinda like the ripper swarm situation.

[late osprey]

crabs aren't THAT tough

[tall plinth]

I can’t help but feel an Ork could just sweep through them

[late osprey]

and they're just animals in thought

yeah orks are like gorillas as smart as humans

[queen laurel]

nah if they are crabs big enough to physically hurt an ork the ork can physically kick them around and throw them

[raven stone]

Ok good point

[late osprey]

crabs are also not particularly fast

[tall plinth]

Okay so in this scenario for sake of a reason to defend itself the crabs do have a sense of “this ork is food we must kill it for food” but other than that they’re just baseline crabs, they’re slow and can be stepped on

[queen laurel]

In that case the casualties will be immense but The thing is if you're just going with an ork boy like slugga boy ork boy

He is not as experienced as fighting as his other peers and he will be eventually overwhelmed

[tall plinth]

I only say that so it’s an actual fight instead of a room with 7,000 crabs and an Ork that just happen to be together

[queen laurel]

even in an open field where he is surround he can definitely take down a good number of them but

since these crabs hurt him it's literally gonna be a death by 1000 cuts

[tall plinth]

I’ll ask you this then, how many crabs would it take to be a 50/50 chance for either to win

[queen laurel]

Do I look like I know

[tall plinth]

Yes

[queen laurel]

Well unfortunately just like an orc I have limited mental faculties so i don't know

[tall plinth]

Objectively you do look like you would know about fighting crabs

[queen laurel]

yeah but i don't do math

And logistics

[tall plinth]

Oh good point

[queen laurel]

i get a sharp axe

And slice the thing in front of me repeat until I become a powerful warlord

[raven stone]

No canonical order, and even maps that were around since game release have constantly been updated or changed.

I mean, why not try it

[full obsidian]

who exactly are the enemies in dark tide?

i know that theyre stated to be a chaos traitor guard regiment

[spring cairn]

A nurgle cult, and a renegade regiment

[sacred bluff]

even a daemon or two

[full obsidian]

but only those shooter enemies with lasguns seem to fit that to me

[sacred bluff]

But don't waken the host

[full obsidian]

who are those basic weak melee enemies?

[spring cairn]

infected

[full obsidian]

are the regular human civilians?

[sacred bluff]

cultist

poxwalkers

[spring cairn]

infected people

[sacred bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykem_yAFh2A

[celest dome]

Civilians

They are not willing

[dapper gyro]

The yellow guys are cultists, the lasgun armoured guys are traitor guards. The normal melee mobs are once civilians, but infected by the plague.

[celest dome]

Just Poxwalkers and Groaner

[misty vector]

Some of them are dressed very fancy though so it seems like nobles too were infected

[storm jungle]

https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline

Probably the most extensive one you are gonna get

I forgot dark tide has its own wiki

Call your local psyker and put them in the power box.

National Grid (UK thing) is fixing it now

[tough haven]

Holy shit, functional infrastructure? I’d love that

[dapper gyro]

Ok, you are from the UK. You can just stab the box with a kitchen knife.

[sly ivy]

UK has functional infrastructure

You have standing stone

You have big tree

What else you need

[celest dome]

Heathrow stuff ?

[raven stone]

Indirectly perhaps

[sly ivy]

Wait Heathrow is on fire

[drifting cloud]

updated the lore for my homebrew guard.

Galant Zealots; similar to Elysian Drop troopers or Tempestus Scions, but with cheap, experimental and volatile equipment. Mass-produced, and experimental jump packs with minimal fuel provides a variety of mobility and is quite useful for repositioning and avoiding deadly attacks; but are prone to malfunctioning and detonating when not used with care. Unable to carry hotshot lasguns due to lack of resources, and therefore have to use recon lasguns with a larger power pack; more shots, but can melt the barrel if fired too much. Some are equipped with flamers, plasma weapons, meltas, incendiary and krak grenades. Their armor is a bright fluorescent orange and yellow with a shining reflective trim so allied pilots can easily see them. The Zealots are crazy loyal, and are brave to the point of suicide. They drop in the heart of combat right behind bombing runs and rolling artillery barrages. Zealots specialize in sabotage, hostage rescue, and flushing out enemy leaders from bunkers.

[late osprey]

buying skaventide in about 15 days!!!

well probably more liek 20

anwyya very scited

[rocky gale]

You're buying 20 Skaventide boxes??

[rose thorn]

i mean skaven tidei n 20 days whoops

you should only buy skaven tide like, twice max lol

[rocky gale]

That makes more sense

20 boxes is too many rats

[rose thorn]

at most

[rose thorn]

unless its clan rats

you can always use mroe clan rats

[rocky gale]

Wouldn't that be like 800 Clanrats

[rose thorn]

if you want more clan rats, you probably shoudl buy tthe spear head a few times

oh theres oinly 1 unit in there

i thgouth there was 2

uhg what a good box

and the starter sets are still good

I need to learn green stuff fur for my woolly skaven

Shoot yourself with weak bullets then amplify it up to become bulletproof.

[queen laurel]

finally succumb to the rat hordes ay

[rose thorn]

tbh, i wanted the stormcasts more but it basically costs the same to buy the whole box than buying the models with a rule book

[queen laurel]

i see

[crisp heath]

I need to do some reading up on storm casts I know absolutely nothing about them 💀

[rose thorn]

how does skaven like, sub clans worK/

they are aweosme

i suggest 2+ tough

[crisp heath]

The sub clans are like the warlock engineers and the plague monks I'm pretty sure

[arctic talon]

There’s the major clans

[crisp heath]

Then you have the beasts they make I'm pretty sure that's a sub clan too

[arctic talon]

And then the smaller clans that make them up

Or do you mean like

Tabletop wise

Lol

[rose thorn]

i mean like, homebrew wise

[arctic talon]

Oh

Okay so

Clans Skryre

[rose thorn]

mhm

[arctic talon]

Is made up of multiple clans

Including a clan skryre

That is the biggest one

But there are other clans other clans skryre

[rose thorn]

mhm

[arctic talon]

So your specific skaven clan would fall under one of the great clan umbrellas

Beyond that go wild with that umbrella you got

[queen laurel]

same case for the other old clans from fantasy that were note worthy

[arctic talon]

It’s just Eshin, Pestilins, Moulder, and Skryre

[rose thorn]

my plan is a skaven clan in either the cold part of ghur or the snowy part of aqshy

[queen laurel]

It's literally just that yeah

[rose thorn]

and make them woolly mice

[arctic talon]

For AoS they tacked on Verminus

[rose thorn]

beisdes that i have nothing

[queen laurel]

So your your clan is gonna be moulder?

[arctic talon]

Which is the big hordey ones

[arctic talon]

Decide what sort of style of war/culture they have

Tbh

Or even reproduction rates lol

Since Verminus’s whole thing is

Absurdly high birth rates + numbers

[queen laurel]

yeah skaven are literally just like orks

very very easy to manipulate into homebrew

[queen laurel]

also having the physically strongest rats around but that doesn't say much

[rose thorn]

well how would snow skaven fight

hm

[queen laurel]

well what clan are they first

[rose thorn]

or er, wolly mammoth mic

e

[queen laurel]

Tell me the great clan they originate from and I can give you some examples

[rose thorn]

i dont think skavne do genetic modification do they?

[queen laurel]

they do

moulder

[rose thorn]

i thought that are more frankenstinign

[queen laurel]

they're the ones that handle Rat ogres

and Hell pit abominations

[arctic talon]

They still do have genetic modification stuff

It’s just on a smaller scale

Warpstone drugs and stuff

[rose thorn]

fair

[queen laurel]

a master moulder that has extra hands

Perfect for using his mancatcher and reloading his gun

[rose thorn]

yeah but he stapled another skavne to himslef

[queen laurel]

yeah but

To be honest they would probably just skin mammoth and like staple the skins to themselves

or they could genuinely extract its blood and use warp stone to like bullshit genetic modification themselves into having extra fur

[crisp heath]

I like the engineers the most

[rose thorn]

who were gun skaven again?

[queen laurel]

skyre

masters of technology they make the wonders of skaven engineering

Which is only marginally more volatile than the mental of a league player

[arctic talon]

YES YES KILL THE MAN THING

[rose thorn]

let me ask my gun nerd friedns about winter warfare tactics

[arctic talon]

MORE WARPSTONE MORE MORE

Skryre and Moulder get along well

[crisp heath]

They also are in charge of building all their architecture I'm pretty sure

[arctic talon]

Yeah

They’re the nerdy rats

[queen laurel]

honestly i can see clan skyre making some snowmobiles

[arctic talon]

Also skaven power armor

Is a thing

[queen laurel]

or snow vehicles

[crisp heath]

Not power Armour per say

[arctic talon]

It’s also like incredibly radioactive lol

[arctic talon]

Nah they have powered armor in AoS

It’s armor that makes the skaven inside stronger

[crisp heath]

What??!

[arctic talon]

And it’s powered by meth

[queen laurel]

yeah but that's the thing with skaven

put them in chernobyl and nothing will change

[arctic talon]

I mean warpstone

[crisp heath]

Yes yes skavens looking good

[arctic talon]

Downside of making the wearer go slowly insane

But not a huge deal

[queen laurel]

an arch warlock with power armor

[rose thorn]

stormcasts are like, lviign powerarmor tbh since their blood is ltierally electricty, or its fire sometimes

[arctic talon]

The armor is gona last longer then the skaven

[rose thorn]

HIS ARM IS A ROBOT ARM

[queen laurel]

yes

[rose thorn]

woudl sakven use a weather control machine?

[queen laurel]

yes

[rose thorn]

hmm

[queen laurel]

probably very limited range unless they got pretty high backing

[young pecan]

Oh I dunno, it seems like it was the norm for this patient because the nurses were talking about her nonchalantly

Makes me a little sad thinkin about it

[rose thorn]

id have to work out the details but weather control is against the gehieva convention

[queen laurel]

for skaven the geneva convention is a geneva suggestion

[rose thorn]

skaven have cavilary?

oh

motocycles

[queen laurel]

yeah Doomflayers

[arctic talon]

Do you count rat ogres

But yeah doomflayers are their actual Calvary

And also doomwheels

[queen laurel]

aren't they like more monstrous cavalry?

[arctic talon]

They serve the same role as Calvary to an extent

They’re just also giant rat abominations

[queen laurel]

i see

[tough haven]

Sometimes at a certain point you have to ignore it, as sad as it is

They shouldnt be talking about patients though in an unsecured space where anyone can hear them

thats a potential HIPPAA violation

[dusk patrol]

How optimistic

[tough haven]

I mean like, if theres nothing you can do at the time

Obviously I'm not going to hear someone wailing and not at least see whats wrong/if I can help

But depending on the type of unit, patients can just kinda do that and it isnt necessarily cause for alarm, like in a dementia unit, or psych/neuro depending on the patient's situation. Not that you should ever assume a situation is just fine, never hurts to make sure

[young pecan]

Yeah for sure

It's especially sad when the nurses aren't respectful at all and laughing about the condition

[tough haven]

Like for example, if a patient has had a stroke, and their perception/communication is altered, they might always cry for help regardless of situation

No matter how much you try to reorient them, it may not help, in that case, you just try to anticipate their needs, since all behavior is to a certain extent, an attempt to meet a need

[tough haven]

Yeah, thats a violation of nursing ethics

I'd report that if you see it

[tough haven]

"Codex astartes does not support that action" type shit

I just realized how I sound lol

[arctic talon]

Tbf

An ethics guidebook

Is a lot more important then fictional setting guidebook on how to be a warlord

[tough haven]

It is, in fact codified

theres not necessarily enforceable rules, but most workplaces hold you to it, and it'll lead to some disciplinary action

[dusk patrol]

Especially since the Codex Astartes is a Warcrime guidebook

[tough haven]

Warcrimes for dummies

[gray umbra]

In the US we found a bunch of nursing homes that were owned by a dude who got sued for human trafficking

His lil monopoly is still operating

[tough haven]

I think the ethics guidelines were created specifically to have a generally agreed upon consensus, in order to sorta have a flowchart for moral and ethical dilemmas that come up often in nursing

[tough haven]

yeah nursing homes are generally hives of scum and villany

dont send your family there

[gray umbra]

Yep

Ive worked there

[tough haven]

Same

[gray umbra]

The dementia ward is a traumatic place

Its just screaming

[tough haven]

despite all the safeguards put in place, its still easy to perform abuse

[dusk patrol]

What if I hate them

[tough haven]

Very true, but I saw it as a way to offer some little solace to those that need it

[tough haven]

Then thats your decision

[raven stone]

(Insomnia)
This type of talk does remind me of a lesser but similar case…
on a particular flight, some Hong Kong flight attendants were serving some Mainland Chinese passengers.
Said passengers didn’t know the English word for “blanket” but insisted on using English.
The flight attendants made fun of/grumbled about that in Cantonese , and that was caught on camera.
cue internet spat.

[dusk patrol]

Dope

(This is a joke to be clear)

[tough haven]

There are decent nursing homes

[gray umbra]

Yeah but its not comforting being an outside contractor and seeing these people who need help and nobody is doing anything

[tough haven]

but they are few and far between

very much depends on state, area, etc

[gray umbra]

Just business as usual

[tough haven]

who runs it

[gray umbra]

Umbrella company owned by some finance firm lol

[tough haven]

Its gotta be hard being not part of the care team and not being able to help

[tough haven]

oh sorry, that was a continuation of my previous sentence

[gray umbra]

Yeye

[arctic talon]

Lol

[tough haven]

That is a documented phenomenon, its called caretaker fatigue, combined with burnout, after working around it enough, you tend to just become accustomed to it, or even disdainful

we must always be vigilant for this, and take it upon ourselves to self evaluate and find a different postion elsewhere if it occurs

I hate people who are clearly burnt out, and their care is affected, like you have a nursing license thats good practically anywhere in any specialty/unit, just fucking get a new job

especially if you hate it so much

[dusk patrol]

It doesn’t help too people with dementia often get really nasty or abusive

[tough haven]

That accellerates it yes

it takes a special person

and that person isnt me

My specialty is psych, which does have some overlap, and is a whole other beast

[dusk patrol]

Yeah I tried for a bit, just too depressing

[tough haven]

But in psych, you can often help, in some way

[dusk patrol]

Especially because it’s a nursing home so chances are the ones you do like are just gonna die suddenly one day

[tough haven]

alzheimers/dementia is terminal, and is far too horrific for me

[tough haven]

Always traumatic

[dusk patrol]

Or talk about how their family never visits

[tough haven]

I remember every one that died when I worked there

part of why I do acute care now

you get a ever changing varied patient population, you get to know them a little, and then they either improve and leave, or arent suited for our scope of care anymore and have to go elsewhere for treatment, either way, its a net positive at least slightly

I love seeing people leave, even better if I dont see them again cause that means theyre doing decent

Sure its thankless, and you're often treated like shit by people, but even if 1 out of 1000 is genuinely helped, thats all I need

One patient saying something like "I'm feeling so much better now" or similar just brightens my week

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk

TLDR: Nurses are people, and so some of them arent the best, but thats the human condition, innit?

[soft thunder]

anyone know if SM or ppl other than inquisition/admech that mind-wipe ppl regularly?

I feel like some SM would but I've no idea

[opaque coyote]

I would say Grey Knights but that's technically Inquistion

Overall, generally most SMs are in the business of just fucking murdering people.

Even the Grey Knights usually killed any regular Baselines that saw them.

The Mind wipe was saved for more important/high ranking individuals

[soft thunder]

ya figured GK would just murderize minds instead of wipe them (i mean inquisition does that alot too)

less work

[opaque coyote]

And even then the mind wipe is kinda used less considering that the

Big fucking rift kinda shot any hopes of hiding what Chaos is down the toilet

[soft thunder]

ya plenty of secrets to keep still tho, aside from the "starve chaos" or keep-chaos-secret thing

[opaque coyote]

Maybe the Dark Angels due to "Muh Fallen"?

Not that familiar with their lore though cause that shit bores me

[soft thunder]

same that's why im asking chat lol can't be bothered to even look in the direction of a SM book atm

I mean them or alpha legion

[opaque coyote]

I mean Alpha Legion do have sleeper agents

which probably means they do mind wipe ppl

[soft thunder]

true. There's also the whole SM inductee's psycho-indoctrination. Don't think that involves scrubbing memories though, just propoganda machines hooked into the brain

[tough haven]

I'm assuming in battlefleet gothic 2, theres no pvp version of the campaign? I really wish those kinds of games had a mode for long term meta-campaigns where you can take and lost territory and such

[dusk patrol]

Not really no

That I can recall

Mind wiping is also a very delicate process

[soft thunder]

ya the only significant sources i can find on it says its an intensive process reserved for ppl of value

Unless they're evil family

[lofty mason]

How often to ships get lost in the warp? The idea that you can enter the warp and exit thousands of years later while, from your perspective, only takes a week or a month is crazy to me.

[arctic talon]

Not an absurd amount but it happens occasionally. Being lost in the warp sometimes is sometimes not as long of a period

Big time jumps are rare

Usually it’s just a few days or even just hours(back in time)

[celest dome]

Just enough for there to always be one when a narrative need it

[late osprey]

its more common than you'd think apparently as of 8th edition "22% of the voyages have yet to reach their destination"

which is brutal

however, thats just a total, it doesnt explain whether that's across the whole galaxy or some places are disproportionately more unreliable

my money would be on the latter

otherwise a 1/5 chance to fuck up sending groceries from one planet to another is pretty outrageous for running a space government

[arctic talon]

Imo it’s def the latter

Especially with the great rift

I’m sure some of those ships tried to cross the great rift lol

[late osprey]

it also probably has to do with things such as your difference from the astronomicon

the further you are, the more likely something will fuck up

and i imagine the safest jumps are the ones that don't need navigators at all

[hallow basin]

Also, I wonder if they count all of the ships that ever got lost in the warp, or ships that got lost during the last thousand years or whatever

[rustic plinth]

someone explain to me what the warp is

[late osprey]

its like another dimension

[sharp pollen]

another dimension where physic laws dont work

many demons there

bad gods are there

[queen laurel]

another dimension where it follows no set rules of the universe

for example like a few seconds here can be like thousands of years in there

you can also accidentally time travel if you do a warp jump because of it

[sharp pollen]

every psyker uses warp to throw lightnings and read minds

[queen laurel]

it's basically random wacky shit

[sharp pollen]

people learned to travel through warp using navigators, buts its super dangerous and your survival is not guarantied

[rustic plinth]

um

ok

[sharp pollen]

you might get to the destination point earlier or 100 years later

and you wouldnt notice

[rustic plinth]

um

so

doctor who on meth

[sharp pollen]

now we're talking

[late osprey]

honestly

warp travel is like using the nether in minecraft

[queen laurel]

yes except more fucked

[sharp pollen]

almost

but your survival is not in your hands

plus you hear funny voices that tell you to kill your teammates

when will people learn to use better links

[crisp heath]

Ty lol

[hallow basin]

What others told is correct, but what it is in essence is a sort of a mirror dimension to our own, fueled by emotions and souls of all that is living. In a time long before 40k the psychic energy of the Warp slowly coalesced into distinct entities that we know as Chaos Gods. Well, the fourth of them came about a little differently, but that's besides the point. And all the demons are essentially fragments of said gods, absolute majority of them not posessing any free will at all

[crisp heath]

Aren't humans warp touched

I remeber they meet a society back in the heresy days that were weary of us because they say we are warp touched

So I basically see that as the warp is the result of us

All the fear and paranoia of the mortal empire or something

[hallow basin]

Humans contribute a lot to the warp being as disturbed as it is, but I reckon the War in Heaven did more to bloat the Chaos Gods than humans ever could

[crisp heath]

Yeah , the imaterrium definitely is my favorite part about 40k

Some really good horror audio books about the warp

[tough haven]

And sometimes you turn inside out, or all the holes on your face switch functions

[tough haven]

How large are slugga rounds?

Like roughly the size of a humie fist?

[queen laurel]

nothing specific really

this is normal for orks

as every weapon they have is highly customizable

[crisp heath]

I wonder if they use different calibers in the same gun

Just shove what ever they can in

[queen laurel]

it's a thing

As you can see the results may vary sometimes you obliterate your target sometimes you doctor manhatten yourself

[crisp heath]

The more I learn about them the more I like them

[crisp heath]

The shootyest of shooters lol

[spring cairn]

is the bottom left ejecting casings ?

[late osprey]

it's said that ork guns just outright DO NOT work at all when used outside of orks and that the internal workings are utterly nonsensical

therefore

[spring cairn]

but it's clearly the end of a plasma gun

[late osprey]

i wouldnt be surprised if a magazine is just a metal box of bullets all rattling around

[crisp heath]

No so that's actually not entirely true

[queen laurel]

don't ask

this ork engineering it's about as reliable as an engine put together using bee wax

[storm jungle]

its a fucking ork gun

[queen laurel]

Thing is you can use ork technology you just have to fill in the missing parts

[crisp heath]

It's most likely to explode w out the ork thinking but it's not intirely useless

Yeah

[queen laurel]

it's just that ork tech is basically crudely built

[late osprey]

"Much of Ork technology is unreliable and sometimes seemingly inoperable to other races, in some cases only working properly in the hands of an Ork." its not a hard and fast rule, checking again

but there is a pseudo-magic element to it

[spring cairn]

WHAT IS HE SHOOTING

[late osprey]

frankly the intention seems clear that ork guns are supposed to work on looney toons magic rules

[crisp heath]

The guy to his left the guy in front of him and the enemy dog 3 miles away from battle

[late osprey]

although it being literally psychic power or whatever is disputed

[storm jungle]

IDFK, SOMETHING

[storm jungle]

it basically works on magic/plot/waaagh

like

ork guns are made to look funny

not make sense

[queen laurel]

yeah and actual mechanics that build stuff

mekboyz

[tough haven]

Yeah but there’s like a minimum size right?
