[opaque coyote]

It just ruined the first two games?

[dusk patrol]

Also:

[opaque coyote]

Also there's a bunch of inconsistencies. Which wouldn't matter... if they just made it a different timeline.

But it's the same as the first two??

[languid meadow]

I love when the Enclave is hilariously evil but I also love when they get humanized like with Col Autumn

[opaque coyote]

Wh

Why??

[storm jungle]

its the best definition of half-baked

[languid meadow]

I just like power armoured factions

[vagrant fox]

bioshock more like worse than system shock

[opaque coyote]

I do like how evil factions gets human touches

Like talking to the enclave soldiers in Fallout 2 was entertaining as shit

[languid meadow]

The legion suffers heavily from the cut dev time for NV

[paper haven]

Enclave best bad guys

[languid meadow]

since they're just evil

[storm jungle]

tbh I like em that way

makes their piece of shit fanbase easier to spot or defend

lol

[languid meadow]

even in 2 the enclave at their worst they get some bits of humanization

[storm jungle]

"actually enslaving women is a good thing"

[paper haven]

Fuck you Caesar, you Roman dick-suck.

[opaque coyote]

I actually do like their over the topness.

But I genuinely think they could get some more details honestly

[languid meadow]

I would love some characters to be fleshed out

[dusk patrol]

I mean have you seen women?

[opaque coyote]

Or just some more content since the NCR has much more side content compared to the legion.

[storm jungle]

Unfortunately.

[storm jungle]

Also them being evil works even more since their leader outright admits he just took some notes from romans and literally ignored everything else.

Which

ngl

pretty realistic lol

[languid meadow]

Based Ceaser not paying attention when reading

[opaque coyote]

Like I genuinely think that's kinda sad.

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-we-cant-expect-gif-15199201

[storm jungle]

Who even wants to read anyway

warhammer

oh right

[opaque coyote]

I do think the Legion is humanized somewhat.

Mainly because of the conversation we have with Caesar

[dusk patrol]

Too bad commie

[languid meadow]

Anyway the only good faction in new vegas is the Khans

[opaque coyote]

We get to see why he LARPs as a Roman dickhead

And to be honest, it was genuinely interesting

[storm jungle]

downside, hes cringe

hang him from the ropes

[languid meadow]

Long live the Wyoming horde

[opaque coyote]

Crucify him

[dusk patrol]

I do agreed that the legion should have gotten more

[late osprey]

enclave are sick

[dusk patrol]

And you know, maybe been a little more ambiguously not evil lol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, the Legion is also one of the few times I genuinely wished that you could take over.

[languid meadow]

I don't want the faction to be humanized I want characters to be, Ceaser is like the only one I can name really

[storm jungle]

The less ammo romaboos get the better tbh

[dusk patrol]

Cause the dichotomy really isn't there for me lol

[opaque coyote]

If only because

[paper haven]

I say let Legate Lanius be the new emperor. He seems neat.

[opaque coyote]

It would be fun

[languid meadow]

Lanius can not govern

that's his whole thing

he does not care to

[storm jungle]

Lanius want smash.

[dusk patrol]

Yeah but he looks cool and he'll kill a lot of people

[paper haven]

I know it's great

Logical end state of the legion

[opaque coyote]

I do like how Lanius, despite being a complete psychopath, can actually be reasoned with.

Like he isn't stupid

[storm jungle]

I do love his ending for that reason

[dusk patrol]

Thats like 80% of what I do in fallout anyways

[languid meadow]

Vulpes legion baby

[storm jungle]

Lanius became the head of the Legion
He instantly imploded the entire faction in a month

[languid meadow]

Frumentarii my beloved

[opaque coyote]

Well less stupid than more legionnaries

[storm jungle]

the femboy?

[paper haven]

The duality of legion fans

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-new-vegas-fnv-vulpes-inculta-vulpes-gameundt-gif-4640237614473013317

[storm jungle]

AAAA-

[dusk patrol]

The irony that assassinating the NCR's leader barely affects the faction vs assassinating the Legions leader implodes them is

[plush mason]

you say that like you didnt expect it

[dusk patrol]

very amusing

[languid meadow]

tbf the NCR is looking to get rid of Kimball by the point you kill him

[paper haven]

Oh man, those NCR guys have a sturdy defensive position and expert snipers. Better just rush in more guys.

[languid meadow]

most of them hate him

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/i-love-it-gif-18812641

[opaque coyote]

Once you give him evidence that if he continues on this path, his faction would implode. He actually is like

"Fine. You have a point. I'll come back though."

[dusk patrol]

Sounds like he was a president

[storm jungle]

🏠 : WHY DID YOU KILL KIMBALL YOU IDIOT?

You: I dont like taxes.

🏠 : Understandable.

[plush mason]

the NCR is a republic lead by a president, they have other leaders to elect, the legion is an authoritarian dictatorship and thus is linked to its leader in a fundemental way'

[vagrant fox]

ave true to fantasticus

[languid meadow]

Godbless Allgood Murphy

[storm jungle]

tbh

[opaque coyote]

I think House specifically wanted Kimball alive because he was incompetent

[dusk patrol]

Yes I know why, its funny though

[paper haven]

For all his clear behavioral and emotional imbalances, Lanius had perfectly set up the second battle in his favor.

[dusk patrol]

Thats the point

[storm jungle]

i dont think them being a dictatorship is the only downside lmao

[plush mason]

ofc

[dusk patrol]

They have a lot of upsides

[storm jungle]

again the less defendible they are the better

legion fans are fucking morons

[dusk patrol]

No women to nag you

[opaque coyote]

Lanius is still smart, at least for battle and slaughter

[languid meadow]

I do love when legion fans inflate lanius and the legion

like bro they fight fucking raiders and tribals

[opaque coyote]

He knows how to lead an army.

He doesn't know how to lead a nation

[dusk patrol]

You'll never go hungry if you're a cross builder.

[storm jungle]

Legion fans when I deploy the 50. cal anti-tank rifle

[languid meadow]

the NCR has TRAINS

and fucking TRUCKS

[paper haven]

It's just the other aspects of leading a nation that elude him

[dusk patrol]

My biggest issue with the legion tbh

is they don't look like this

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-new-vegas-gif-26614980

[languid meadow]

the mojave force are conscripts who don't want to be there

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-prime-video-bethesda-brotherhood-of-steel-power-armor-gif-12786921429865246493

Or this

Like

[opaque coyote]

Real.

To be honest, I think my favorite part of the legion is that their armor is literally slapdash.

[languid meadow]

Fallout 1 and 2 brotherhood my beloved

[storm jungle]

the 40k brainrot needs more drip for them to be accepted

[dusk patrol]

This is my competition?

And this is their elite

[paper haven]

It's like a modern military facing off against some Roman larpers wearing football armor and wielding machetes. it shouldn't even be close.

[languid meadow]

the fact praetorians lose to centurions in the drip department is criminal

[storm jungle]

Its to imitate your average 40k user, I think they do a good job with it

[opaque coyote]

Although I do kinda wish we got some more armor similar to like

Lanius/87th tribe armor

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats a great one

[opaque coyote]

Like this shit looks goated

[storm jungle]

they definitely could use uhhh

less football gear

lol

[opaque coyote]

And I genuinely wish the legion had some more that LMAO

[dusk patrol]

Reee

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

Replace it with Baseball gear fr.

[paper haven]

The guys in the divide, what were they called?

They looked cool

[plush mason]

the NCR is full of idiots and cowards though, only reason the legion was as successful as it was

[languid meadow]

Wears power armour pieces as a flex and status symbol

[dusk patrol]

I can excuse genocide, misogyny, homophobia, crucifixions.

But no drip?

[storm jungle]

guh-

[paper haven]

Even then. They're a mechanized, professional military. They have vertabirds

[opaque coyote]

Marked men.

Apparently they've been driven mad by having their skin flayed off and constantly having their muscles exposed to the strong radioactive winds.

Y'know I kinda wished that not all of them attacked you. Since at least a couple of people shouldn't be crazy enough to attack randomly.

[late osprey]

my only particularly strong opinion is people going "hurr durr the best ending is Yes Man"

are the worst

[storm jungle]

ok but

[dusk patrol]

I agreed there

[storm jungle]

smiley face robot funny

[opaque coyote]

Then again I wish Raiders didn't attack you if you are a certain gear level above them

[paper haven]

Sorry, we need soulless enemies to mindlessly attack you

[late osprey]

like yes obviously if you can just fucking write-in your own ending you're going to think that's coolest

[opaque coyote]

Like

[dusk patrol]

Its funny

[languid meadow]

technically they're ghouls it's just the sandstorm that strips their skin

[dusk patrol]

But its a pretty lame ending

[opaque coyote]

I am wearing power armor

I have a laser minigun

[late osprey]

no its the people going "all the factions suck so my personal fantasy ending is best"

its like a cop-out

[dusk patrol]

Best playthrough imo is just doing House straight, only there for money.

[opaque coyote]

Why are you attacking me with a butter knife

[storm jungle]

they arent wrong

[late osprey]

and i cant stand it when they intrude

[storm jungle]

tbh

you expect too much from fallout fans

thats the issue

lmao

[late osprey]

of the REAL options (yes manners need not apply), i do think mr house is pretty good

[opaque coyote]

NCR is best for the world.

Mr. House is best for your bank

Rise and grind.

[late osprey]

probably better than NCR even, long-term

[storm jungle]

No taxes is good taxes thats my motto

[paper haven]

Hang on I have something for this

[dusk patrol]

Bro I don't care about your ideological struggle, I am literally just doing my 9-5.

[opaque coyote]

He's still a rich asshole dictator.

[late osprey]

Double Rations! Great!

But hey

Money

[storm jungle]

God I love this video

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

Very serious setting btw

[late osprey]

yes but the environment he cultivates is more conducive to a stable society than NCR

in the context of a post-apocalyptic wasteland at least

it's like all of the positive arguments for caesar's legion but like

real and not psychotic

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-bored-and-i-wanna-shoot-something-knight-titus-fallout-let's-go-shooting-let's-have-some-fun-gif-12127733677068963878

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/house-hugh-laurie-nodding-not-bad-gif-3532297

Mfw people say they want House to rule the wasteland:

[opaque coyote]

I think the only one that could be considered completely serious is Fallout 1.

And even then it still had its humorous moments.

Fallout 2 definitely deviated from that though

[storm jungle]

Also unrelated clip

"ᴮʳᵒᵗʰᵉʳˢ ʰᵉˡᵖ"

[paper haven]

https://youtu.be/zoNyuKaxU8M?si=ZpknG7D_mvh4CcqC

[opaque coyote]

I know it was definitely unintentional

But I like to interrupt that as like

Basically a squeak

[languid meadow]

they need to bring back terrifying presence

[opaque coyote]

Like he's so terrified he couldn't even scream

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-new-vegas-degenerates-degenerates-like-you-belong-on-a-cross-degenerate-gif-21451302

[opaque coyote]

On god

[paper haven]

https://tenor.com/view/god-cant-do-all-the-work-gif-18858356

[opaque coyote]

Again 76 actually brought back the old dialogue system at least

Well "old"

I think even Todd said that the FO4 dialogue system was a mistake

[languid meadow]

it has it's moments

[dusk patrol]

"I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around."

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[opaque coyote]

Hoping to God that when Fallout 5 comes out after GTA 6 that Terrifying Presence comes back

[languid meadow]

"I'm the king of fah harbour !"

[late osprey]

NV's terrifying presence was overwhelmingly dogshit LOL

[languid meadow]

https://youtu.be/V_JZroVzAdc?si=f1iv3Mx0zdenZ2fp

[late osprey]

[Terrifying Presence]: Actually the cringiest line you've ever seen.

"Oh, fuck." quoth the intern voice actor, monotonously.

every time

[languid meadow]

Listen the Soul Survivor has a great VA a lot of the time

[dusk patrol]

My head canon is they're terrified of being in your cringey presence any longer.

[late osprey]

it would explain why their acting is so terrible, they're in-universe just playing along so you feel better

[dusk patrol]

They're actually just playing a long because they feel bad, the Courier is just insane.

[opaque coyote]

The 5 voice actors were really put through the wringer.

I think there was one presence line that was actually my favorite.

https://youtu.be/M9yTb_AVKAw?si=ac7TDU3oPLltgW7N

[paper haven]

Unfortunately for everyone, Benny shot out the part of my brain responsible for empathy.

[late osprey]

this is the pinnacle of exactly what i mean

"No. No."

[storm jungle]

Most things is cringe on text until you hear someone with a good voice say it.

[opaque coyote]

Btw I think Veronica was supposed to say something akin to

"You were kidding about the Codex thing... Right?"

[storm jungle]

If someone like Steve Blum was saying this shit you gooners would be cooming all over the place

[paper haven]

Everyone has a price

[storm jungle]

man man mannnnnn

[storm jungle]

[late osprey]

maybe, though with NV's voice actors it'd be more like Wendigoon's Steve Blum impression instead of the real deal

[storm jungle]

well yeah thats why you pay your actors

[opaque coyote]

Tbf yeah that's mainly my thoughts about it.

It's only awkward because all you see is the text.

With no descriptions of the courier's face or any voice acting

[languid meadow]

I love fallout so much I've engaged with the like fan stuff and man some of shit people create is great

OWB has it so canada is split between 3 communist states and a kingdom ruled by a ghoul

and mountain pirates

[paper haven]

There was one more for New Vegas that was just. A train wreck.

One mod, I mean

[opaque coyote]

I'd say that

60% of it is fairly high quality

And 40% of it is uh

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-conquest-invincible-conquest-invincible-gif-1554453415906877965

[opaque coyote]

The Frontier

Type of shit

[paper haven]

Sentient stealth suit supremacy

[storm jungle]

Exactly.

🫡 🪱

[paper haven]

The Frontier, that was the name.

[languid meadow]

thankfully most of that stuff is older content that is getting changed

The art used in OWB is mostly fantastic

[vagrant fox]

I like the OWB mod

[opaque coyote]

Okay I nap now

[paper haven]

It's stuff like this that makes me think the Legion has a point

[languid meadow]

Montana chapter and it's paths have amazing tarot art

Not gonna spam them but yeah the art in the mod can go hard asf

[vagrant fox]

It's consistently very good, yea

[sacred ginkgo]

Reminds me of the dragon age inquisition portraits

[sacred bluff]

I'm such a cringer 😏

[storm jungle]

[young pecan]

Do you guys know who Yuri Lowenthal is

[dusk patrol]

Yes

[young pecan]

He is almost fucking everywhere once you recognize his voice

Helldivers 2

Every other NPC AND MALE COURIER'S INJURED GRUNT IS VOICED BY HIM

[languid meadow]

bro has been spiderman for years

[young pecan]

There was another game I recently recognized his voice from but I can't remember

[dusk patrol]

You know who else has been Spider-Man for years?

Peter Parker

[young pecan]

No that's the journalist

He can't be spider-man

[languid meadow]

[sacred ginkgo]

He's omnipresent

[languid meadow]

he's not spiderman

[young pecan]

Wasn't Yuri also Ben 10

Quite majorly

[languid meadow]

yeah

for 3 of the ben10 series

[late osprey]

would anyone else be an EarthGov Marine investigating the Ishimura?

me? i'd probably get bisected by a slasher in the first squad

[vagrant fox]

I'd be on the turlet and the ass-slasher necromorph would annihilate me

[vagrant fox]

I like this one because of the asshole vs asshole premise

[late osprey]

NV will write that this is an even matchup

[vagrant fox]

Maybe if there's enough legion boys I suppose

I did get bogged down in Nevada doing an Enclave run in OWB because of the sheer amount of shit they were throwing at my limited units

until they ran out of reserves anyway

[winged jacinth]

Thats the whole west coast enclave in the pic

And they're all 70

[nocturne crest]

We might get this in the tv show, but BOS instead of legion.

[spare osprey]

Just seen the Minecraft movie

It was

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my fucking life

[crystal forum]

really?

[spare osprey]

Really

It was the funniest shit ever, and the crowd was screaming every line

Like that was more hype than I saw for anything from like

Release endgame

[crystal forum]

damn maybe i'll go watch it

[spare osprey]

Just don’t go in expecting like, inception

It’s a goofy ass movie

[queen laurel]

It's a movie about a world about cubes

You have to be as intelligent as a snottling to inspect like

Godfather levels of quality

[spare osprey]

And an orb

[spare osprey]

That’s what Critics are doing for some reason as usual

[queen laurel]

At this point video game and like show and movie critics are not trusted

[spare osprey]

But like

The cameos and references

And the whole movie of just Steve saying random things

[crystal forum]

oh is that what it is

[spare osprey]

RELEASE

like people actually cheered for chicken jockey

[crystal forum]

a jack black making funny words

[queen laurel]

To be fair that's literally every character of jack black

Literally a funny guy

[spare osprey]

Yeah especially from the dude who made nacho libre

[crystal forum]

i'll be honest the CGI looked uncanny valley to me in the trailer

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's like the role he's most comfortable in

[spare osprey]

The villagers are kinda weird

But everything else actually looked really good

[queen laurel]

The iron golems look peak though

[spare osprey]

100%

[queen laurel]

Always love those metalheads

[crystal forum]

minecraft has a major motion picture

i think it truly is the game that will never die

[spare osprey]

Also fair warning

It’s technically a musical

[dusk patrol]

The movie sucks but it’s gonna make a shitton of money

Can’t wait for live action Fortnite

[crystal forum]

10.6 million box office that can't be right

oh it's just previews

it will prob make way more

it made more in previews than the FNAF movie

[winged jacinth]

jack black as dig dug coming 2027

[young pecan]

Godfather mid not enough gabagool

[stuck arrow]

What's the minimum amount of forces that the Imperium would need to subjugate current day Earth?

[crystal forum]

that is not a lore question

[arctic talon]

They could just do it from orbit lmao

[late osprey]

8 billion guardsmen

[arctic talon]

So one cruiser

[crystal forum]

you will not receive a lore response

[arctic talon]

Could prolly do it lol

[late osprey]

one frigate*

[arctic talon]

Just blow up major cities and demand a surrender

[late osprey]

no country wants to risk being the example

[arctic talon]

Those might run out of ammo

But yeah

[queen laurel]

a ship using orbital bombardment

[arctic talon]

The imperium did this during a great crusade

Whenever they ran into anyone

Without surface to orbital weapons of sufficient strength

Join us or else

And if they went for the or else the imperium started blowing up the planet from orbit

And demanding their surrender

[queen laurel]

yeah hard to refuse when the very sky itself falls on you

[arctic talon]

If only one group surrenders

They’d keep them safe

And kill literally everyone else

Lol

If multiple groups or the entire planet surrenders

Then yeah

But whoever takes the surrender offer first doesn’t get genocided

If there’s multiple factions on the planet

[queen laurel]

yeah like at least they get to suffer later serving the imperium

[arctic talon]

LOL

[queen laurel]

but for now they are safe

[late osprey]

well

[stuck arrow]

Guess I should start reading Crusade era books

[late osprey]

the fact that Earth is disunited and generally democratic means itd be very easily to conquer (those 2 things combined specifically)

as like EW said, its in politicians' interests to immediately surrender so their constituents dont get atomized

[queen laurel]

we have the weapons to deal with a good chunk of their ground attack force

[late osprey]

or else that happens or, worse, they get voted out of office for tempting it

[late osprey]

thats not the point

[queen laurel]

yeah but i'm just saying it's not gonna be that easy for them to take us from the ground

[late osprey]

the point isnt what people CAN do, its what would realistically happen

[queen laurel]

They would realistically just bomb us I'm not saying they wouldn't

[late osprey]

my point is, absolutely, that people CAN do a great deal but this is tempered by the fact that people generally don't want to die

[arctic talon]

This is from the macharian crusade background lore

Not the great crusade

But we can assume the imperium did the same thing

During the great crusade lol

[crystal forum]

there is no crusade era books except primarch circlejerks

[arctic talon]

Because we know macharius loved

The great crusade era quote from a salamander

[stuck arrow]

"Are these space men serious?" - blows up a helluva lot of shit - "ok fuck, shit, hold up"

[arctic talon]

“We will leave planets one of two ways, compliant or ash”

And by god did macharius follow that rule lol

[late osprey]

if a space ship shows up in our orbit and goes "whoever doesnt surrender is gonna get blown up", you bet your ass the president who says "try it" is getting voted out next term

[crystal forum]

maybe they'll leave if they see how fucked up earth is

[late osprey]

if theres even a voter base to vote them out

[crystal forum]

send them furry porn

they will leave

[arctic talon]

Bro

That’s like

[arctic talon]

Normal stuff

[crystal forum]

actually just show the imperium the 40k fanart

[arctic talon]

Nobles are into way weirder shit

In canon

[queen laurel]

yeah you would just be appeasing them you would

[crystal forum]

imagine the imperium seeing booba primarchs wolf

[late osprey]

i learned the anchorite was a thing yesterday

actually kinda cool tbh

[stuck arrow]

And that's how we became a recreational planet

[queen laurel]

are you talking about TC or something different

[late osprey]

no

it turns out all of the ecclesiarchy's practical doctrine comes from some word bearers dreadnought just making shit up

[arctic talon]

They wouldn’t give a shit tbh

[queen laurel]

Oh that Anchorite

[arctic talon]

The imperial faith is very malleable lol

[crystal forum]

YES THEY WOULD CARE ABOUT BOOBA RUSS

they absolutely would fucking care

[queen laurel]

yeah in some planet i would highly believe that leman Russ is known as the great wolf mother

[arctic talon]

The emperor is literally worshiped as a woman on some worlds or as the fucking Sun

[queen laurel]

I will no longer elaborate in this point as those words that I just spat out of my mouth made me want to end myself

[arctic talon]

I think his sons being seen as women would be fine

[crystal forum]

oh you thought i meant just fem

[late osprey]

yeah i think outright pornographic content would be considered heretical

[arctic talon]

To the ecclisarchy

^

[crystal forum]

no i mean the r34 booba primarchs

[late osprey]

im sorry to say ,all of you horny speculators

[crystal forum]

would be funny though

imperium finding a planet that knows everything about the imperium

you guys didn't factor that into your scenario

if an imperial guy finds us we just have to hold hostage all the 40k secrets

[queen laurel]

yeah but a secret is good as hidden if they just exterminated the planet don't you think?

By like I don't know

Exterminatus

[crystal forum]

the imperial guy might want to know some

whoever he is

maybe some rogue trader exploring around

[tough haven]

better to die standing than to live kneeling

[opaque coyote]

Don't worry, our brave imperial guardsmen will trip all of the factions so that they're kneeling

Right before we fire the cyclonic torpedos

[tough haven]

I'd choose obliteration 9/10 vs living in the imperium

"Hmm, slow death by torture, or just death?"

[outer wave]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/1jrmx82/redesigned_warhammer_40k_species_by_kanarmajik/ Damn these are some really unique designs and takes on the factions of 40k

It has this 70s-80s sci fi vibe

[opaque coyote]

Ones I really like:

• Martian Tech Priest. Ironically kinda reminds me of like 30's aliens. Considering Volkite weapons are also made by Mars, this makes sense.

• Necrons. I love their spongey biomechanical look. Like the biotransferrence wasn't just a simple copy to a body, but literally turned their body into living, solid metal.

• Eldar. They look strange and spindley. Similar to descriptions on how they move. With alien eyes and multiple limbs. Imagine that design looking fast on the battlefield.

[outer wave]

I adore the Tyranid look, where they're basically pseudo-organic boxy robots

[opaque coyote]

Mixed:

• Astartes. At first, I thought the first image was like new armor, until I flipped over to the second image. Honestly, I like the idea of having them literally becoming so inhuman they look like freaks. But at the same time, I actually think they look too inhuman.

Like how in the Emperor's given name did their neck disappear bro.

I still think they should look recognizably human but uncanny.

[queen laurel]

orks I just do not see them as orks the way they look is so radically different from the way and philosophy of an ork

Turning them into biomechanical mushroom monsters is a cool thing but that's not orks

[outer wave]

Yeah the orks are super bizarre

[opaque coyote]

• T'au. I like the designs of the blue people themselves. I genuinely like how the fire castle helmets actually fits them. I don't like the Kroot and Vespid designs though.

The battlesuit design could actually be in canon proper with only minor alterations at most though. I genuinely think it's cool looking

[queen laurel]

orks are unserious and they build stuff out of garbage

[opaque coyote]

Yeah honestly I don't like the Orks asw

[queen laurel]

and are giant simple warriors

[opaque coyote]

I can get what the artist was going for. Leaning towards their fungal nature.

But at the same time, I can't imagine those designs doing the classic orky shit

[outer wave]

It seems like they just simply

Grow into their usual diesel-punk look

[queen laurel]

i can also say the same with tyranids

like it looks great don't get me wrong

but that's not tyranids

[opaque coyote]

I don't like the Tyranids because they kinda look like

Actual toys.

[queen laurel]

it's so weird seeing them more mechanical

they look like actual war machines

[outer wave]

I love that they look like an 70s styled robot

[queen laurel]

and less like creatures

[opaque coyote]

And I don't mean like the usual figures. I mean like "$10 action figure I can find in Toys R Us if they still existed"

[queen laurel]

Oh it's great mind you but if you tell me that's tyranids I wouldn't even believe you

[outer wave]

Its Tyranids after spending 40k years in the galaxy and never leaving

[opaque coyote]

Honestly. This might sound weird. But I think the Tyranids design would actually fit the Necrons on some level

[outer wave]

I could see it, just change the color scheme a bit

[opaque coyote]

Also I do like how biomechanical the Imperium is in general

like this implies that the leman russ is fucking alive

[outer wave]

The Lemun Russ basically being a big hollow human is terrifying and cool

[opaque coyote]

also

look at him

look at him painting that vase

adorable

[outer wave]

With his kids

[opaque coyote]

and finally

bro those infected humans are actually terrifying

[outer wave]

The guy on all fours with the extra legs

[opaque coyote]

hope to god they aren't still aware somehow

but knowing nurgle, they likely are

[outer wave]

Well they're apparently less daemonic and more forces of nature in this reinterpretation

So maybe he's okay

[opaque coyote]

oh yeah and finally

The Hive Tyrant looks like a gumball machine

the limbs look like licorice

[outer wave]

Kinda looks good to eat not gonna lie

[opaque coyote]

yk all those 40k lore questions about whether you can eat the nids

...

[outer wave]

Id eat these ones

[opaque coyote]

it ain't a question anymore

[outer wave]

They probably taste like bubblegum and cotton candy

[opaque coyote]

the tyranids secret home galaxy

[outer wave]

FINALLY A REAL FIGHT

[opaque coyote]

by Super Atractylodes

The mini Empress of Mankind!

...y'know the worst part is that this could genuinely be plausible in some manner

The Emperor possessed a little girl to help Guilliman in Plague Wars

[outer wave]

Quick, swing her around before she gets any legitimate power!

[opaque coyote]

The funniest part about that moment is that

Roboute was far more mad about it, both refusing to believe that it was the Emperor and accusing the Ecclesiarchy reps there of allowing a dangerous psyker where they didn't belong.

The Ecclesiarchy was doing something atypical and vibing along with it easily, given that the girl had the emperor's signature golden glow, white eyes, and anti daemon abilities.

[outer wave]

I kinda hate the idea of the Emperor still being present in the real world like this tbh

[opaque coyote]

“GODS AREN’T REAL, MY DAD ISN’T A GOD! HE IS NOT POSSESSING A LITTLE GIRL!"

“Look man, she’s got glowing eyes and her body is glowing. That’s obviously divine.”

[outer wave]

Like bro is dead; let him work in mysterious ways and all that but not via possession and all that

[opaque coyote]

On some level I agree, but on some other levels, it is definitely more interesting than just

chair.

[outer wave]

Thats pretty fair

[opaque coyote]

Then again, I just want Terra to fucking explode already

Like if I were in charge of 40k (please god no)

Terra would fucking explode via a fucking incursion of massive proportions

Tyranids finally fulfilling their role, Abaddon launching one of his final Black Crusades, and of course...

The Orks doing a little bit of trolling.

The Eldar try to help since having yet ANOTHER warp rift open in the galaxy would be bad for everyone. Although whether their help is accepted is entirely up to you.

And finally everything implodes.

The Emperor essentially becomes a collection of different aspects of himself, and the Imperium is shattered into multiple warring states.

Essentially, due to all the contradicatory worship, I can imagine there being different versions of the Emperor.

Some are benevolent, some yell for Order among Chaos through any means, blah blah blah.

That's my yapping.

[outer wave]

Personally, if I were in charge, I'd make 40k End Times

But instead of Chaos simply winning, everyone dies including the chaos gods

Then end it with "In the 41st Millennium, there was only war."

[opaque coyote]

Tyranid moment yum

[outer wave]

They also die

EVERYONE DIES

[opaque coyote]

Also

The Necrons would just be watching the entire thing laughing

While eating popcorn.

Well "eating"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I would just have it so the nids are like

"Welp. The food's gone. Time to move on."

fucks off

[outer wave]

Or just have the local hivefleets die and the rest of whats outside the galaxy fuck off for elsewhere

Or they become new species of whatever the hell and the cycle repeats

[opaque coyote]

BATTLEMACE 40 MILLION LET'S GOOO

[outer wave]

Species become sentient, they got issues, they try to solve issues and fail, then they go to war again

Blah blah blah

Exactly Battlemace 80 Million

[opaque coyote]

Honestly again, I don't think that literally ending everything would be the best idea since well...

There's no real opportunity for an AoS

Again, I definitely think Shattering the Imperium would probably be the best option

It would also make things like

More Xeno factions possible.

Although we all know they'll... never do that

[outer wave]

Oh Im not here to make an AoS-esque continuation with 40k; Im just here to give it a finite ending

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

In terms of a finite ending. Honestly, I can imagine the Emperor's Terminus Decree essentially being a mini big bang.

Resetting the galaxy basically

There is also the theory that the Tyranids are actually like

the Old Ones last attempt to try and clean the galaxy

[outer wave]

I think I prefer the Tyranids to just be nigh-mindless eating machines that have unknown origins

Makes them more mysterious and all that, you know? Plus I feel they already have too much explained about them

[crystal forum]

i agree. i dont like most fan theories about their origins

mostly because they're inconsequential to the narrative

and since their origin doesn't matter then it remaining mysterious only adds to the charm

[outer wave]

Mhm, other factions that should also have that mystique like the necrons dont have it much (understandably since they're much more human than the 5th edition lore), so the Nids having this would be kinda rad

[summer mural]

azazel lore is wild

sigmar was in love with his sister and azazel was the first everchosens mentor

[crystal forum]

necron origins are weird since they work better when you don't know about the war in heaven. it's odd for anybody in the setting to know about those events yet they're the first thing you learn about necrons

necrons are mysterious to everybody in the setting but to us they're cranky old men

[outer wave]

Mhmmm

They work REALLY well for anyone's POV in universe, but not out

Similarly with chaos tbh

Though chaos can still surprise us depending on how its written

[opaque coyote]

"mmm lettuc"

• tyranids

[opaque coyote]

All we know about the Necrons is that

they were once organic

and their society sucked ass

Although tbh I do like the rewrite generally.

Since like, having actual characters make it so much interesting.

It also helps that every peak into a Necron's origins are unreliable since their memories were directly tampered with.

Like, did Trazyn really march into biotransference in chains? Or does he just think that.

Like similar to Johnny Silverhand in 2077, every sapient Necron might just be a copy of the individual that's

"good enough"

So every look into their stories? It might be inaccurate.

[outer wave]

Good thought and yeah the rewrite is generally better overall

It just sort of gets rid of the mystique of an old ass ancient species thats running amok with floating pyramids and shit

[opaque coyote]

tbf they still are that

but yeah

the faction got less mysterious and eldritch

but what we got in exchange was better, and we got a new kind of horror

the horror that every necron has lost themselves on some level.

All the characters see the soldiers as unfeeling, emotionless robots.

But in reality, their copied consciousnesses are screaming inside, with no way to scream outward.

[opaque coyote]

also

for literally no reason

[languid meadow]

yeah ME

https://tenor.com/view/president-president-loki-loki-marvel-marvel-rivals-gif-14194231254547043191

[opaque coyote]

So I found something

I definitely think I can't post it

But it is funny

I also found this

[opaque coyote]

And also

https://youtu.be/Xvoa8kRZmhw?si=k3Q1S8gmyJBBUMko

[stuck arrow]

It also doesn't help that they burn through portions of their memory engrams when in dire situations

Like Obyron forgot his father's name and the taste(?) of water or something when he needed to convert energy into mass.

Necrons having their cores described as dying stars is pretty metal and showcases the tech wonders of the Necrontyr

[languid meadow]

I need to finish the second TDK book but yeah the mental horror of necrons is like one of the best parts of them

I hope we get more necron books

[rocky gale]

Ushoran book has been acquired

[barren prawn]

SO

ive been playing rogue trader

and one thing came to my attention

the underwear is exactly the same as in darktide

and since everything is canon

this leads me to believe there is an underwear forgeworld somewhere that has access to those grey sports bras and boxer shorts STCS

[storm jungle]

Its fucking boxers.

the fuck do you think are they gonna look like

thongs?

[dapper gyro]

Considering the number of official arts clearly not using those default ones.

[median star]

so why do tyranids have mouth they dont need to physically speak to give commands to lesser units they dont need to eat i dont think and they have more dangerous means of killing things then just biting them

[vagrant fox]

to bite with their very sharp teethies

[rocky gale]

Most of the more complex bioforms do need to eat

I think the Gaunts and the Ripper Swarms are noted to not have digestive tracks, but they will still eat to fill themselves up with biomass and then throw themselves into digesting pools

[plush mason]

yeah they act as biomass transports

[queen laurel]

That and of course

Bite really hard

[plush mason]

yeah

[rocky gale]

Also if they don't have Mouth how are they going to scream and shriek

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer40000space-marine2-warhammer40000-space-marine-tyranids-gif-24403614

[storm jungle]

There's a couple. As Iarmoth said some Tyranid organisms do eat to sustain themselves in the field, others do nothing but eat - Rippers, Haruspexes, and other processor organisms mostly. Most common, non-synaptic Tyranids lack digestive systems because they aren't expected to survive more than a few days, but still use their mouths as weapons, and it's theorised that the various hisses and screeches they make might represent a form of non-synaptic brood-level communication

Also, in those cases where a Tyranid lacks a digestive system and thus might be expected to lack a way of intaking sustenance, it might simply be easier for the Norn Queens to leave the mouth as a vestigial part of their anatomy than redesign the creature's skull to lack one

[median star]

do any forms lack mouths

[dapper gyro]

Or their outtake uses the same path as the intake. It is not uncommon for some animal to do that.

[storm jungle]

Some. But its not many.

[barren prawn]

theyre the exact shape exact color they ride exactly as high

[storm jungle]

Its fucking underwear.

No shit.

[barren prawn]

im telling you

you fail to see the conspiracy

there is a rogue trader out there some where

I dont care. He will read Legion.

[queen laurel]

Very well I shall now cast legion entertainment

You will be put in a dimensional realm where you can only read legion and you can only get nutrients and live every time you finish legion, stopping reading legion shall now put you inside legion and you shall relive it for thousands of years if you stop

@barren prawn , our grimdark undies expert, what are those made off?

[barren prawn]

anti slaaneshi refab plant fiber

theyre designed to make people only want to take them off for the sole purpose of reproduction

Oh, if it is so, the Imperium is fucked.

[late osprey]

Huge hater of the Underwear debate that happened, just putting it on the record!

[vagrant fox]

you think Imperial underwear is itchy

[rocky gale]

It's probably like that Puritan underwear designed to be itchy and uncomfortable on purpose

[summer mural]

Holy shit

I just scrolled through a 100 messages about underwear

Yall need to go out and get a job

[raven stone]

It is Saturday

so...

[summer mural]

No, other folks can take weekends off

Yall need 7 days a week

To detox that mind

[raven stone]

Hey I just got here!

Lol

[summer mural]

Lmao

[queen laurel]

Tell that to clad

[late osprey]

here

something much more dignified

do you think the mekboys install this stuff knowing that the pilots will just trash their work?

[storm jungle]

They do it for the love of the game.

[queen laurel]

it's funny

[storm jungle]

they dont usually care what their lads do

[queen laurel]

watching someone explode from your work

if it fails it fails

just make a new one

[queen laurel]

yeah they have a very genuinely positive output on engineering

Yeah the gun I made might have accidentally turned into a black hole and killed the enemy and my allies but

i can make something even better

( its chances of doing that even higher )

[gray umbra]

When ork pilots dock in their ship do they just crash into the hull and the engineers just build a new fighter from a feedback loop of scrap

[late osprey]

absolutely, and the question is now how the flyboyz survive

[gray umbra]

Survive?

[late osprey]

i have two theories:

• mekboyz install hidden ejectors that launch the pilots out spectacularly at the last moment
• ork landing pads are actually gigantic cushions

[queen laurel]

well they try to land but if that doesn't work they can always rebuild it into a Megatrakk Scrapjet

[late osprey]

you don't become a "wing kommanda" on your first mission

[queen laurel]

if they can salvage the plane

[late osprey]

if i was a flyboy id be so mad if i asked for a flyer and the mekboyz gave me this piece of shit

"it haz wingz innit"

punch that mekboy's teef out and use them to pay for a real flyer

[queen laurel]

it's a salvaged plane wreck

modified into a car

[late osprey]

you think i'd care?

i want a plane

[queen laurel]

hey at least most of your plane is intact

you can rebuild it into a plane later

[late osprey]

the pilot's wearing a jacket and cap, he's clearly a flyboy coping

me? i wouldnt take that

and id probably punch that flyboy's teef out for being such a loser

[gray umbra]

The refashioned turbine car goes hard

[queen laurel]

yeah it's great

[tough haven]

Would a magos usually acquiesce to inquisition agents flashing a rosette and going "alright now hand over this tech you found, inquisition says so" or would they fight for it?

I know this is a "it depends situation" but I was curious if not giving it up is even an option

[late osprey]

yeah, it's an option, depending on the magos and the forge world

kinda like space marine chapters, how some first foundings can say "fuck off", so can Mars

[late osprey]

FORMALLY you can't ever refuse an inquisitor, but your ability to do so is more dependent on other factors

[dusk patrol]

Yeah as always, power on paper and actual power are very different

But it depends on a lot

[tough haven]

In this scenario I'm assuming its a technoarcheologist of no special renown who just found something valuable on a forgotten world of something and then the inquisition shows up

[dusk patrol]

Most Magos don’t have that authority to deny an inquisitor though

Or would be unwise to

Kinda depends what they’re hiding though

[tough haven]

Are fake rosettes even a thing people are stupid enough to attempt? Cause I imagine first a magos would do a rigorous background check to figure out if this person even has the authority of the inquisition

[dusk patrol]

They’re pretty sophisticated so it’s probably very hard but

I’m sure some people are dumb enough to try

Especially for people who aren’t able to verify it

[tough haven]

Well yeah but I imagine most people dont go, alright, verify it

they'd just obey out of the chance it really is an inquisitor's men

[tough haven]

Related question, if in a scenario like this, a skitarii maniple found whatever this theoretical mguffin is, and inquisiton agents order them to hand it over to them, are they able to even consider that option? Or are they like "well my imperatives tell me to retrieve the item so I'm going to retrieve the item"

[late osprey]

well if the magos is desperate enough he could always just kill the agents and hide the bodies

that's been a plot point on more than one occasion across 40k

[dusk patrol]

[queen laurel]

Mozrog Skragbad

the greatest beast Snagga alive

[summer mural]

Did he get upto some good memes?

[storm jungle]

Brainrot.

[queen laurel]

no he's just bad ass

[summer mural]

So

Did he kill some necrons?

[queen laurel]

he can kill them

[summer mural]

Doubt

Necrons are tough

[queen laurel]

he hunts giant monsters for fun and was literally half digested by a giant monster

[rose thorn]

He’s the leader of the snakebites clan

[queen laurel]

he's not

Oh

[dusk patrol]

Hence the Robit bits

[rose thorn]

Shit my bad

[dusk patrol]

[queen laurel]

He's just a very exceptional beast snagga

[dusk patrol]

Also nobody leads any clan really

[queen laurel]

yeah clans aren't tribes they are just like cultures that unifier group of works together

[dusk patrol]

They just have some major leaders

[rose thorn]

My bad, i got AOS brainrot and assumed the named character is the leader

[summer mural]

A space ork monster hunter is cool ngl

[dusk patrol]

Clans are more like Ork racial groups

[summer mural]

It's cooler than discussing rogue trader underwear for more than 150 messages

Right guys?

[queen laurel]

basically clans are like cultural groupings

[storm jungle]

Die.

[queen laurel]

certain clans have like certain cultures

[rose thorn]

Kulture

Hwheheheh

[queen laurel]

yes

that

[dusk patrol]

You can take the Ork out of the Bad Moon but you can’t take the Bad Moon out of the Ork

[queen laurel]

for example snake bites are boomers

like they use old technology

[storm jungle]

ork clans used to be sometimes called klans with a K

they uh

dropped this for reasons

[dusk patrol]

Bad Moons are the rich snooty Orks

[queen laurel]

and their subculture is the beast snaggas

bad moons their teeth grow faster than everyone else

meaning that even the poorest of them have a steady supply of money

[summer mural]

Is it because they were Green Klansmen

[storm jungle]

alas

[rose thorn]

ahahwvehwhwh, I imagine it’s after stormboyz took off their hats

[storm jungle]

and klansmen stuff is more the Imperium's thing

so we gotta keep the faction identities secure

[queen laurel]

oh it's a Gryph-Hound

[rose thorn]

Gryph crows are a different species from gryph hounds

Gryph crows are blessed by a god of death sigmar is totally not fucking

He wiped it off the map and the DoK moved in

[summer mural]

Aqshy is Fire right

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[summer mural]

And ulgu shadows

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[queen laurel]

yes

[rose thorn]

note to self, write more AOS fan fiction

[summer mural]

That's another thing , they have like teleport gates between realms right, so like are characters constantly going across like changing countries

[rose thorn]

Realm gates yes

And there is other ways to travel but they are much rarer

[storm jungle]

Yeah those are usually for fast travel/story relegated stuff.

[queen laurel]

yeah like Skaven Gnawholes

[storm jungle]

Actual realmgates are super critical spots that are always contested to some degree.

[queen laurel]

but only they can use it because they are genuinely insane

[queen laurel]

not to some degree

actually contested like everyone's life depends on it

[storm jungle]

One of Bill Haders best

[winged jacinth]

"BOY TANYA YOU'RE PREGNANT"
"what??"

Its got so many great lines

[dusk patrol]

“She had a baby.”

“No!”

“She named the baby Tanya.”

“…Yes.”

[winged jacinth]

"It says here your husband has a locked drawer in his office you're not allowed to open"
"Its none of my business 🙂 "

No one hosts a fake gameshow like bill hader

[tall plinth]

What if you were playing darktide and the ogryn came up to you and said “boy that hammer sure was war”

That’d be pretty funny I think

[dusk patrol]

What if I walked up to you and broke my foot off in your John Brown Johns

[tall plinth]

That’d be pretty funny I think

[winged jacinth]

What if when the zealot has a thunder hammer they say "man i wish i had 39,999 more of these"

[tall plinth]

That’d be pretty funny I think

[sly ivy]

[vagrant fox]

deep lore

[stuck arrow]

You know he's still streaming? It's kinda sad and there's dedicated channels that restream his content for profit

[opaque coyote]

(he actually just pressed the reset button)

[young pecan]

Most perturbatory

[sly ivy]

“Machine… heal thyself (psst could someone hand me a paperclip I need to hold this down for five seconds)”

[rocky gale]

I just assumed that dropped was new youth slang I was too old to understand

[nocturne crest]

So apart from the Traitor legions, what would good pick to appear in the next space marine game as the chaos faction?

[rocky gale]

Khorne cult

Goremongers

Led by a Blood Herald seeking to ascend to becoming a Daemon

Then regular cultists and Jakhals

[young pecan]

"Next space marine game" let the poor chum take a break please 💔

[rocky gale]

Na they already announced the third one

[young pecan]

Next space marine game should be a farmlife sim

Titus retires

[nocturne crest]

Titus ends up in a dreadnought.

[rocky gale]

In the Grimdark future of the 42nd millennia there is sometimes rest and relaxation

[nocturne crest]

Wait is that their end goal?

[rocky gale]

Yea the Goremongers idolise Bloodletters, they surgically alter themselves to be more like them and hope that by doing so they will one day be rewarded with ascension

The Blood Herald is their leader and the "closest" to ascension

[nocturne crest]

But can they actually ascended to become a Bloodletter?

[rocky gale]

It's possible

Pretty unlikely, but possible

[nocturne crest]

I got an idea that might be a bit silly.

[rocky gale]

The lore of the latest Killteam book is that the Goremonger team is trying to sabotage the Great guns magazine, so that when the Imperium tries to fire the gun it will destroy the Hive city including them and they will be reborn from the ashes as Daemons

[nocturne crest]

Titus and his companions end up having to fight a Chaos Knight, but they call in some Invictor warsuits to do so.

[young pecan]

Didn't we see Khorne daemons in the first game?

I would love for some Nurgle or GOOD Slaanesh representation

[nocturne crest]

Yeah. Honestly, it will have to be Nurgle or Slaanesh next time.

Idea! Imagine if Nurgle and Slaanesh, but they're fighting each other.

[young pecan]

Slaanesh at start of game because aristocrats being aristocrats

[nocturne crest]

Like a miniature War in the Rift on one planet.

[young pecan]

Then Nurgle because the hive or whatever world that they subjugate has a cult there

Idk something like that

Honestly either of the two, even if only one, would be sweet

[nocturne crest]

Hell, you could have the hive been split between Slaanesh worship at the top, with Nurgle worship appearing at the bottom.

Maybe they could take a page out of COD: BO2 and have you do some free choice missions about who to assassinate or destroy first.

[winter vessel]

I’d rather they focus solely on one faction so that they can really build up the main antagonist. They already did the two faction formula these past two Space Marine games. And both times it was “Oh! It’s Xenos” followed by “It was Chaos All along?!”. What would be great is if it’s Nurgle, as the campaign progresses you see the hive city fall under the plague infestation.
