They do worship the Emperor

#

But it’s a little different

#

They have a position called the Orakle

#

Whose basically a spiritual leader to them from the most powerful and venerated astropath.

Some don’t agreed with this.

Also it’s not a bad thing but

Travis Fimmel is playing like the exact same character as he did in Raised by Wolves

#

He’s good but it’s so weird lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah I agree, I dont mind "exact same character from Movie X" stuff when the product itself is usually entertaining.

#

so i guess better than phoning it in but lol

He’s good at giving those weird ass stares

Im just glad he gets to play something that isnt just Vikings

Because the current gamers sitting in a room while controlling a swarm of drone to search, kill and destroy, yet barely reach victory... if it is a WW1/2 universe, it sounds so non sense.

opaque coyote

Idk there's no guideline just choose one that sounds most plausible

dusk patrol
#

This works

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I think the funniest one is a 4chan post where somebody says like

#

Fantasy universe has magic but still uses horses

#

And then somebody replies that we have nuclear tech and power but still use coal

dusk patrol
#

I mean hell we still use horses

opaque coyote
#

Tbf they're pretty much only used in like

Places with less infrastructure or just for fun/aesthetics

dusk patrol
#

We went to the moon before we put wheels on suitcases is always a good example.

#

Technology doesn't develop on the same scale or for the same reasons

opaque coyote
#

"Why doesn't X civilization have this? They have the tech!"

#

Is a complaint

#

Like on some level it can apply

#

But sometimes people just

#

Don't have the idea for it

#

Like firstly there needs to be a need

#

Secondly there needs to be the idea

#

Like China actually developed the Printing Press first

#

The problem is that Chinese has a lot of characters to say the least

#

So Printing Presses were basically monothilic and

#

Kinda useless to them

#

They were only used to reproduce old literature

#

But when Europe got it, well it became much more useful

# opaque coyote What things IRL would be considered satire in an alternative timeline?

Every had to hurry up and wait in a location so you could hurry up and wait later, at a different location?

Ever step on a rock, get accused of being dumber than said rock, told to keep the rock on your person to give you "someone to emulate", put the rock in your pocket, be accused of smothering the rock to death — and finally being forced to give the rock a full burial detail in 106° weather?

Are majority of the Necron still sleeping or awake? Also, what the estimate number of Necron now awake compared to total? I heard someone said only around 10% - 15% of the Necrons are awake, which is scary af.

arctic talon

#

The amount that is awake is like tiny

#

If all of them wake up that is practically a setting ending event

sour hornet
#

The answer to "how many X are alive/awake" for any faction is "however many is thematically appropriate at that specific point in time"

dusk patrol
#

Keeping a thing around and keeping it alive so you can pet it and have it just hang out

Often at great expense

its an interesting thought if chaos marines wish to adorn themselves to look beautiful or do they do it to inspire fear and hatred in their enemies, I feel like the latter probably works out better

Do inquisition members usually create new personas? Or do they make a person disappear and replace their personas usually

queen laurel
#

depending on the situation they would either apply what is mentioned

Like when they create a cover identity, would they just like create all the documents and make it seem like that person has always existed? Like for example ||The arbites judge in the Vorbis conspiracy||

Wouldn’t that make people ask questions?

if all their actions came into light then they would be even more cooked

Who fuckin knows

#

GW botched a lot of it

opaque coyote
#

Honestly it's funny to think that the DA would have a higher chance of being purged now than if they just say

#

"Yeah we have some traitor elements"

#

Like every fucking SM faction had traitors

spare osprey
#

Yep

#

But they got ego.

#

Plus ig the scouring was a time where they would’ve been executed they thought

Even though a bunch of primarchs were still around

And would vouch for em

opaque coyote

#

"We've had some traitors"

"Oh that's fine, we've all had that"

"And we've purged entire worlds to keep it secret"

"....you what?"

spare osprey
#

The whole

#

Hunt thing

opaque coyote
#

And decided "Nope, we aren't dying on a 'mountain'"

spare osprey
#

Started with the thunder warriors

#

Like even during the heresy they were worried one might pop up

#

Constant undercover hunt

spare osprey
late osprey
spare osprey
#

And almost bombed the space wolves home

late osprey
#

since chaos wouldnt really know that or be able to exploit it

#

i imagine in general DAs could well be wholly impenetrable to Alpha Legion shenanigans specifically because of how obsessed with secrets they are

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

there's not really any infiltrating a chapter that has a secret handshake for every door you pass through

spare osprey
#

Yeah that was a whole thing

opaque coyote
spare osprey
#

Actually getting into the DA like that

#

Impossible

#

But you can defo still fool them

late osprey
#

externally dark angels are like a black box

late osprey
spare osprey
late osprey
#

i just mean the infiltration schema that alpha legion's used to destroy other chapters

spare osprey
#

Straight up entire campfire stories

opaque coyote
#

Ruin geneseed storage

#

that type of shit

late osprey
#

also in terms of mental manipulation, the dark angels make liberal usage of mind-scrubbing

spare osprey
#

The dark angels are all sleeper agents

#

The integrator chaplains have put in code phrases to literally turn them all off

#

Even the grandmasters

#

Asmodai turned off Belial and erased his memory when he tried to kill cypher

late osprey
#

no guarantee anything you do to a sleeper agent will survive even the basic inductions of the dark angels

opaque coyote
#

Counter sleeper agent thing

late osprey
#

in terms of operational security they seem to be essentially unassailable to alpha legion

spare osprey
late osprey
#

plus there's the whole fact that they literally have their own special secret language

opaque coyote
#

like

#

sleeper agent brainwashing conflict

spare osprey
opaque coyote
#

"Brother Bob, Hydra Dominatus"

#

"Brother Bob, turn off!"

late osprey
#

so the moment someone tries to go "WAKE UP JOE BIDEN" that'll immediately set off alarm bells since you can't even make a code phrase that is inoccuous

opaque coyote
#

"Brother Bob, Hydra Dominatus!"

#

"Brother Bob, turn off!"

spare osprey
#

Lmao

opaque coyote
#

Brother Bob: "brain... mush... who am I agai-"

#

It's just a constant usage of sleeper agent phrases that turns Bob against and for each faction

spare osprey
#

I did like

opaque coyote
#

In the end, he basically fucking collapses into a fetal position due to the amount of mental damage

spare osprey
#

A thing with my fallen, where they used the codes words on some loyal DA

#

To make them forget shit

#

Didn’t end well, but it’s a fun plot point

late osprey
#

and even if you did get sleepers in, because the DA are essentially a black box, you couldn't even give them meaningful targets

opaque coyote
#

and now basically having a pet DA

spare osprey
#

Lmao

spare osprey
#

Where you give all your officers a piece of the puzzle

opaque coyote
spare osprey
#

So they only know what they need to

#

So you literally cannot sabotage meaningfully

opaque coyote
#

...honestly that sounds more interesting than the actual DA

#

Then again they would be Alpha Legion 2 at this rate

#

I still HC that AL are technically part of Tzeentch's group.

#

They just don't know it (maybe)

#

And that's the point.

#

They lie.

late osprey
#

if we're talking wish fulfillment lore, getting the Dark Angels to hunt down Alpha Legion instead of their X+1 fallen would essentially be the perfect solution

#

the Uninfiltratable vs the Exclusively Infiltrators

opaque coyote
#

After all, it would makes sense that the God of Lies would get a faction that doesn't know they're part of the God lmao

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

also, in the Chaosian Mythos, everyone has an axe to grind against Tzeentch because he used to be the top dog

#

and would lord over them

opaque coyote
#

Like I can imagine Tzeentch and Slaanesh casually doing some collabs because they both agree it would be really funny

outer wave
summer mural
#

Nurgle doesnt seem like a hater

arctic talon
#

He is one

late osprey
#

tzeentch's main animosity is nurgle iirc

summer mural
#

ik

late osprey
#

because their profiles are diametrically opposed

summer mural
#

but nurgle doesnt seem like hed ever frown ig

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

well tzeentch undoes his stuff

opaque coyote
#

Also y'know

One of stagnancy the other one is change

late osprey
#

nurgle's trying to wither away everything, tzeentch makes it all live on in Annihilation-style cancer

#

sorta really steps on his shoes

opaque coyote
late osprey
opaque coyote
#

The Chaos Gods view themselves and the warp as like

Roommates.

The Warp as one large TTRPG

#

They live in a house

#

The Emperor is a child they had to babysit for a bit

#

But later on became a regular because he's fun

late osprey
#

had the start of a fanfiction once about an aeldari who had to go into the realms of chaos to retrieve a mcguffin

summer mural
#

I wonder if khorne has like an explosive ish temper or hes consistently just simmering

late osprey
#

wonder if i still have the draft

arctic talon
#

In the depictions we've had in AoS and 40k

#

he seems very "calm"

#

outwardly

#

until something ticks him off

summer mural
#

kratos like yes

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

he also sits on the bone chair all the time

opaque coyote
#

Which is kinda scary

late osprey
#

which has to take some level of self-control

opaque coyote
#

Literally

#

He is the oldest Chaos God

#

He's been at this game longer than the rest

late osprey
#

i dont know if thats true

opaque coyote
#

And he isn't gonna let some golden upstart young'un ruin it for him

summer mural
#

although he did get mad at skarbrand i guess, it wasnt like he casually exiled him right

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

in 40k at least its implied khorne, nurgle, and tzeentch are all paradoxically ancient

summer mural
#

well yeah

opaque coyote
#

I think he might've been proud lmao

late osprey
#

also just exiling skarbrand is arguably a massive showing of restraint

#

as opposed to exploding him with his mind or whatever

opaque coyote
summer mural
#

I mean skarbrands exiling is a credit to skarbrand, hes truly khornate, he was already his no1 bloodthirster when he took a potshot at khorne

opaque coyote
summer mural
opaque coyote
#

Again I literally view the Chaos Gods more as Roommates playing just

#

A long running game

#

It's just that to the 40k universe, they're incomprehensible, unchangeable beings

#

Gork and Mork are the local jocks

summer mural
#

well nurgle is famously a chill dude

opaque coyote
#

Khorne tries to beat them in the bench pressing competition in the gym but they

#

Keep

#

Beating him

late osprey
#

"famously chill" is a little bit of a exaggeration

#

he's a colossal asshole still

summer mural
#

nurgles so chill he doesnt have a fortress or citadel or palace, he lives in a nice mansion with a garden

opaque coyote
summer mural
#

well

#

details

#

he smiles and is happy with existence

#

also he growns flowers

opaque coyote
#

Isha is actually just Nurgle's body pillow.

summer mural
#

and come on nurglings are like the best lesser daemons

opaque coyote
#

💀

opaque coyote
#

Lowkey the cruelest thing

#

Their existence is literally to suffer

#

without knowing why

#

... So basically life

#

Ironically enough

#

But Nurgle basically made them unable to see that they're hurting people

#

So they don't understand why everyone is running away

#

And they become so depressed they change into a Hell Insect basically

#

Either that or they do finally realize, and it crushes them so much they turn into a hell insect.

late osprey
#

there's at least some mentions alluding to the fact that Nurgle does have a temper like any other chaos god

opaque coyote
#

Either way they were made happy just so that they can become miserable

late osprey
#

"Nurgle becomes aware of his learnings, and distills the information for future experiments and brews. For this reason, Epidemius focuses on his task even in the midst of battle, for if he were to make an error or untimely observation, Nurgle's anger would be dire indeed."

opaque coyote
#

Like that is next level sadism

#

...

#

So basically your average fanfic writer

#

It's either smut or torture

#

No inbetween

#

SUFFERING BUILDS CHARACTER.

outer wave
#

Would it ever be recommended to pump an ogryn full of combat drugs and muscle enhancers?

opaque coyote
#

He spills a bit of his soup

#

And goes ballistic

#

"FUCK. HOW AM I GOING TO CLEAN THIS UP?"

outer wave
opaque coyote
late osprey
#

"Due to this and his prior insubordination, Rotigus would inform the still-regenerating Ku'gath in the Warp that both he and Mortarion had earned Nurgle's ire. Ku'gath would not be able to re-manifest into the Materium for quite some time, and even worse had lost his status as the most favored of Nurgle's Daemons."

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

far from the jolly good fellow of memelore

opaque coyote
#

He wants his plants perfectly messy

#

He wants that pile of shit perfectly shaped and placed in THAT specific corner

#

No other corners

opaque coyote
#

And depression can cause you to become easily angered

outer wave
#

So depressed you find solace in practically nothing and gaslight yourself into thinking all is well

opaque coyote
#

Like from my experience it's a mix between absolute numbness and "I want to fucking die I hate everything why is LIFE LIKE THIS"

#

And I think Nurgle's temper represents that

#

Either he doesn't care or he cares too much

outer wave
#

Also represented by how GUO treat nurglings

outer wave
#

They "care" about them until they step on them while walking around or try eating one

summer mural
#

kugath and nurglings are hilarious

late osprey
opaque coyote
late osprey
#

taking joy in other's misery

summer mural
#

his slime trail is literally made by nurglings getting constantly crushed under his chair

outer wave
opaque coyote
outer wave
opaque coyote
#

These Ogryns don't have their limbs replaced

outer wave
opaque coyote
#

They just are on a lot of drugs and would probably like

#

Die of a heart attack in 16 minutes

#

But hey they will most likely gore an SM

late osprey
#

also

summer mural
#

was it? I thought kugaths slime trail was made because nurglings carry him around him and keep getting crushed under his chair

late osprey
#

"mansion" is a bit of an archaic word here, since it's clearly a giant castle

opaque coyote
#

The equivalent of a drunk dad beating his children

#

And then telling them

late osprey
#

yeah precisely

opaque coyote
#

"You made me do this, it's your fault."

late osprey
#

very grim stuff

opaque coyote
#

Also why he genuinely scares me the most

summer mural
#

it could be yeah

opaque coyote
#

Since he has had

#

3 dads

late osprey
#

i love the use of optical illusions in that map as an aside

opaque coyote
#

And they're all

#

Total shit

summer mural
#

none of them like him either, even remotely

opaque coyote
#

There is his first adoptive dad.

Total asshole, basically tortured him.

#

Then there is the Emperor.

Total asshole, basically ignored him.

#

Then finally there's nurgle

#

Total asshole, literally the embodiment of abuse

#

Like give my guy an actual dad

outer wave
summer mural
#

and then guilliman also told him " Hey bro? Im your daddy"

opaque coyote
#

It was either watching them suffer for eternity

#

Or selling his soul

#

...and he chose the latter.

outer wave
#

I wonder what would've happened if he chose the former

summer mural
#

typhus is the real chad, he was just so into nurgle and done with morty

opaque coyote
summer mural
#

of course

opaque coyote
#

Generational trauma

#

My favorite

summer mural
#

nurgles great for videogames though

opaque coyote
#

And like an infection

#

It. Spreads.

opaque coyote
#

Why can't I fight Daemonettes at least

summer mural
#

the aesthetic and vernacular of flowers and gardens and infections is a nice coat of paint and youve got nurgle buffs and debuffs, slow moving heavy hp units and fast moving weak zombies and plagues for game designers to basically do whatever they want

opaque coyote
#

I think that they should go towards more like

#

Artistic stuff rather than just drugs and BDSM

#

In terms of Slaanesh designs

summer mural
#

id like more khorne tbh

opaque coyote
#

Like Greek statue type of shit

#

Had an idea of a Slaaneshi Daemon Machine basically being a Statue of David looking mf

summer mural
#

I dont want doom and then I get to say oh this is khornlike, I want a dedicate khorne game where you actually face a proper khornate problem

opaque coyote
#

Also it would be funny for the juxtaposition to have these clearly brutalist and robotic machines.

...and then you have metal giant handsome squidward

late osprey
#

me? im a huge Undivided enjoyer

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

only with all four can you bring the ultimate end to the galaxy

opaque coyote
#

Like imagine using some Chaos Weapons

#

Sound Guns

summer mural
#

yeah

#

itd be nice

opaque coyote
#

Daemon Weapons

#

Etc

#

Could even use Sorcery

late osprey
opaque coyote
#

And you have to freedom to do

Horrible actions

late osprey
#

play an Aspiring Champion shooting his way through Space Hell

opaque coyote
#

For no reason

#

Since the Imperium at least needs a small reason for shooting the guardsman

late osprey
#

2 endings based on your gameplay: daemon princehood or chaos spawndom

opaque coyote
#

The CSM though?

#

Just fucking kill them

summer mural
#

undivided is nice and all but I feel like undivided gets so murky with how it works

opaque coyote
#

And I'm sad that we don't have them

#

Maybe I should write like

Hades-esque interactions between them

#

That would be funny

summer mural
#

like someone with all the marks should be kinda a cut above a nurgle only dude right? assuming they are both mortals of otherwise equal strength

#

or is that not a valid assumption

late osprey
#

undivided is jack of all, master of none

#

a nurgle devotee is probably a plague marine, who has very limited capabilities

opaque coyote
#

Again

Rogue-like Chaos RPG now

late osprey
#

vs a chaos marine who's collected all 4 pokemons

opaque coyote
#

I've said it before

#

And I will say it again

late osprey
#

power-wise it doesnt really work on a linear scale, thankfully

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Imagine duo blessing interactions

late osprey
#

but with like very few exceptions, to become a daemon prince (arguably the entire point of becoming chaos in the first place) you have to EVENTUALLY sign on to one of them

opaque coyote
#

Now that would be finny

opaque coyote
summer mural
#

how do you become undivided anyway, since you have to be devoted enough to get at least one mark, and then be devoted enough to get 3 more

late osprey
summer mural
#

practically speaking that is

opaque coyote
#

Agree to nothing

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

instead, it's purely just out of sheer spite and hatred for the material world

#

abaddon could've sold out at any moment but he hates reality so much he wants to destroy it instead

#

some top tier nihilism there

opaque coyote
summer mural
#

i prefer archie

#

his journey is a nice read, mostly for all the absurd shit one hoomie dude pulls off

opaque coyote
#

Again

Chaos is Late-stage Capitalism

#

With how it fucking works

late osprey
#

undivided are just being idealistic prissies

opaque coyote
#

With like

#

"KHORNE.INC"

#

or something as a sign

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
#

All the daemons wear suits and are employees

late osprey
#

the whole point of it all is to make your multi-millions with a successful venture and live out your days in some mcmansion east of the bay

opaque coyote
#

Also it's just funny to imagine a bloodthirster being like

#

DO YOU HAVE A STAPLER?

#

sips coffee with blood and cream

#

I NEED IT TO TURN IN THE SKULLS TO THE BOSS.

summer mural
#

so

#

skulltaker is responsible for stationary?

#

valkia is head of hr

opaque coyote
#

LMAOO

#

What would Angron be?

summer mural
#

probably playing with karanak in the parking lot I dunno

late osprey
#

accounting

opaque coyote
#

Actually

late osprey
#

if the balance sheets aren't consolidated, he MAKES them consolidated

opaque coyote
#

Due to the fact that Angron was actually meant to be empathetic.

How about putting him in HR

summer mural
#

kharn is their best salesperson

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

not a daemon prince

#

just some intern

opaque coyote
#

"YOU CAN FUCKING MURDER PEOPLE."

late osprey
#

contractors

opaque coyote
#

"I'm sold."

late osprey
#

you're not in the corp unless you're a daemon, rules are rules

opaque coyote
#

Fake competition

#

They don't want one to become a COMPLETE monopoly otherwise it will interfere with the Warp's Economy

summer mural
#

skarbrand is the unpaid intern

late osprey
#

well in 40k its real, so much so that it's mentioned on numerous occasions that they are more or less disinterested in material affairs as a whole

#

in favor of wrestling with each other for marginal increases of market share

opaque coyote
#

The Intern Training tapes

#

For Khorne you put it in

#

It's just

#

"KILL MAIN BURN"

#

Repeated for 15 minutes

late osprey
#

khorne really is a swell guy, he gave eternal heavenly bliss to a whole army of orks once

#

and they didnt even have to do anything to earn it

summer mural
#

he did?

late osprey
# summer mural he did?

yeah iirc the story goes an ork warband was rampaging through his domain so he just made it so they constantly come back when they die valhalla-style

#

so they can fight forever

summer mural
#

lmao

summer mural
#

how did an ork warband get to his domain

opaque coyote
#

The krumpin never ends

summer mural
#

they hijacked a portal?

late osprey
#

well warp travel by its very nature takes you into the warp

opaque coyote
late osprey
#

as the name implies

opaque coyote
#

Started murdering daemons

#

Literally as straight forward as you can get

outer wave
late osprey
#

yeah that's right

#

its been a very long time

#

"Tuska made his mark in the Eye of Terror, by defeating the Daemon hordes on several Daemon Worlds, and seemed unstoppable until his Waaagh! crash-landed on a flesh planet. The planet belonged to a mighty Daemon Prince of Khorne[2] known as the Blood Prince, who soon led his Daemonic hordes against the invading Orks. In the battle that followed, Tuska suffered many deep wounds and his Boyz took heavy losses. Just as the Blood Prince was about to finish Tuska, his Weirdboyz managed to distract the Daemon using their psychic powers, giving Tuska enough time to impale the creature between its legs with his Power Klaw before being killed himself[1]. The Warboss’ vast horde was later eventually slain to an Ork by the wrathful Daemon Prince and his minions.[2]

However, the story did not end there for Tuska. Khorne had such joy in watching the murderous spectacle, that he ensured that Tuska's Waaagh! rose once more the very next dawn. Now, the Orks repeat the fight over and over again, for the Blood God was so impressed by their limitless battlelust that he took the Orks into his own domain. In the shadow of the Brass Citadel, his elite Bloodletter generals battle against Daemon-Killa’s undying horde on a daily basis[2]. This suits the Warboss just fine: he has finally found a good fight that never ends.[1]"

#

the idea of a warboss pointing at the eye of terror and going "AIGHT BOYZZZ WARP IN LETZ FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO"

#

surprised more orks dont do that

#

in fact, imagine how many imperial crises were averted because of gigantic Waaaghs doing exactly that

outer wave
opaque coyote
#

How could I ever dare to live on after that

late osprey
opaque coyote
#

It's like how Fulgrim fucking withered away back into the warp after getting Virus Bombed

#

The physical damage may heal

#

But the mental?

#

Nah bro

#

That's gonna stay inside that Prince's mind for the rest of his existence

#

Tuska basically lives in his mind rent free now

#

I guarantee it

rocky gale
#

Have to say this Ushoran book came out of nowhere

#

I don't think they've even talked about this before

opaque coyote
#

Alright so had an idea for Hades-like blessings.

Basically what do you think about this list?

The Four:

  • Slaanesh
  • Nurgle
  • Khorne
  • Tzeentch

Minor/Aspiring

  • Vash'torr
  • Malal
  • Be'lakor

Alt. Paths:

  • The Greater Good
  • The Emperor
  • Cegorach
  • Undivided

The Primordal Chaos equivalent:

  • The Dark King

Lmao:

  • Nuffle
late osprey
#

nuffle has more place being there than the greater good to my knowledge

opaque coyote
#

I would imagine the Alt. Paths would be with a blessless/challenge run.

#

I have had the idea of classes/different starts.

Baseline, Psyker, Heretek, SM all that shit

opaque coyote
#

They count

#

Idk what would their purpose would be though

sour hornet
late osprey
#

i just realized the newest tabletop starterkit is called the "ULTIMATE STARTER SET"

#

which is a little ambitious

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

for Minor/aspiring

opaque coyote
#

Does the Raptor God accept Baselines

#

Or is it mainly just SMs

sour hornet
#

black library but it's all mp3 files

storm jungle
misty vector
#

does khorne have an animal in his aesthetic like the other gods

#

like how tzeentch has crows, nurgle has flies and frogs, slaanesh has snakes and crabs

outer wave
#

Dogs

storm jungle
#

Dogs.

#

Hounds, etc

outer wave
#

Jinx

storm jungle
#

LMAO

misty vector
#

ahh true true

storm jungle
outer wave
#

Also to erm acktually you Grubbus: technically Tzeentch is more associated with ravens than crows

#

Also IIRC at one point Slaanesh was to be more associated with ants and bugs

#

Though the latter no one really associates ants with Slaanesh anymore so

storm jungle
outer wave
#

🤓

arctic talon
#

Anteaters

#

not ants

outer wave
#

DAMN I GOT ACKTUALLY'D

dapper gyro
#

So, between Ork hunters and Catachan, what are the differences between them? Aside from coming from different planets and their main targets.

rocky gale

NO WAY
