[summer mural]

imperium architecture is kinda amazing for the setting tbh

as in

the decision to have the imperium be GOTHIC

[queen laurel]

Ed tell me what's your favorite space marine chapter

[green loom]

They sometimes have the old artists do freelance work but they're not in the studio itself anymore iirc

[green loom]

Dunno I kinda enjoy most of them

[summer mural]

The giant cathedrals in particular are so nice

[crisp heath]

I had this core book wad ny first wh40k book

[queen laurel]

Fuck how am i supposed to to put you as a mini in my lore chat people as a mini

[crisp heath]

Came w the bt and the drukhari box

[summer mural]

but i have a hard time getting a good image in my head of commoragh architecture

like is it just spiky stuff

[vagrant fox]

3rd ed is so cool, I love this one

[green loom]

Ig Blood Angels probably

[queen laurel]

Got it

Will pay you later for the results of my endeavor

[crisp heath]

Oo that's a really neat picture of the palace

[vagrant fox]

The axe the guy is holding in the bottom right is so silly big

[crisp heath]

Look at how big their hands are

[vagrant fox]

I think we should adopt imperial scale architecture it's so exaggerated

[summer mural]

like

in real life?

[vagrant fox]

yes why not

[crisp heath]

🙏

[vagrant fox]

The Saudis are building dumber things in the desert

[crisp heath]

I'd get behind that

[summer mural]

its too inefficient in rl, probably unnecessarily expensive

but yes

the saudis have money

[crisp heath]

Russia built a millitary church that's very wh40k

[summer mural]

to do whatever they want

[late osprey]

power fists

[summer mural]

a lot of 40k stuff is just bloated scale tbh

[summer mural]

like theres really no military advantage to having a structure on your titan thats literally shaped like a cathedral

that looks a mission from some assassins creed game

probably unity

where you have to sneak into a church and off some dude

[crisp heath]

That's the armed forces cathedral

[summer mural]

although I agree that cathedral is very 40k

you can probably have a great game of football in there

[crisp heath]

The Vatican is also pretty 40k like

[vagrant fox]

Sensible people would strip the cathedral off the titans but the Imperium is so far removed from sensible and that's why I love it

[summer mural]

yeah but then were getting into territory where its like what inspired 40k architecture

remember the vatican came first

[crisp heath]

I didn't reaise the Vatican IS the roman empire

[summer mural]

the vatican is an independant country

its the smallest country in the world iirc

[crisp heath]

All of romes money is underneath it

[summer mural]

yes

many generations worth

it has one of the wealthiest banks in the world

[crisp heath]

Very interesting hey

[vagrant fox]

The Catholics know how to hoard money and gold

[summer mural]

its not just rome, a good chunk of money throughout christian history is still accumulated under the vatican

[crisp heath]

And the north Roman empire was the byzantines

Id like to see the relics they have

[vagrant fox]

surely you mean finland the last successor of the roman empire

[raven stone]

TBF Eastern Orthodox Church (which is what Russia follows) also has an architectural style similar to Vatican which also inspires 40k
And I would go as far as to argue Ecclesiarch is a combo of Vatican/Eastern Orthodox influences.

[crisp heath]

They probably have some pretty morbid stiff down there

Like a foot christ washed or something

[summer mural]

probably massive catacombs too

[crisp heath]

Oh the catacombs are mainly children

They have whole sections built from babies bones

[summer mural]

well

[vagrant fox]

Sedlec Ossuary pops off though, I really wanna visit

[summer mural]

the main value that accounts for a lot of their wealth is archives

those guys have some books

[crisp heath]

It would be amazing my ex went to the roman catacombs

She showed me pictures she bought from there as your not alowed to take photos

[summer mural]

right

they have 9k incunabula

afaik

[crisp heath]

Something about the flash photography wrecks it

[summer mural]

which is a fancy word for books that were printed before the 14th century

so yes

photography is not good

[crisp heath]

Ohh yes iv heard of these books

[vagrant fox]

Bunch of light sensitive stuff is hidden away yeah

[crisp heath]

Some of them are printed on skin iirc?

[summer mural]

goddamn

just imagine

[raven stone]

whistles

[summer mural]

9000 original copies of books printed before the 14 century

the knowledge

the PAWA

[raven stone]

Truly ancient.

[summer mural]

probably some peasants dietery plan tbh

[crisp heath]

Imagine the knowledge we lost at that library that was sacked

[raven stone]

Alexandria wasn’t it?

[crisp heath]

Yeah

There's people making one in minecraft or something similar

[summer mural]

LMAO

[raven stone]

All knowledge is perilous, in books or digital form…

[vagrant fox]

Library of Alexandria was long fallen out of patronage when it burnt down, most of the texts had likely decayed because papyrus don't last so good

Sack of Baghdad sucked real ass for stored knowledge though

[crisp heath]

Because alot of the info is actually not allowed iirc

[rose thorn]

Kill me I ahve an exam today

[crisp heath]

Good luck !

[rose thorn]

I spent last night doing my homework I. Completely forgot lmao

I hope Lucious comes with a helmet

His face kinda sucks lol

[summer mural]

good luck

[crisp heath]

Luscious the eternal?

I had the old metal Lucius

[rose thorn]

Crazy how old he is

[hallow basin]

Uncensored Library, yeah

[crisp heath]

Pretty sure they been working on it for a while now

[summer mural]

ive decided

tyranids are my fav 40k factions

ogres for fantasy, deepkin and ossiarch for aos, tyranids for 40k

NO FUCK THE TYRANIDS

i still cant decide nvm

[storm jungle]

Embrace the vore or be discarded

https://tenor.com/view/bricky-bricky-bugs-40k-warhammer-40k-tyranids-gif-494463097919101862

[summer mural]

I like the concept of the hernkyn yaegirs

space dwarf rangers

wearing ranger coats

also that guy in the middle row on the absolute right is carrying a sick looking shotgun like thing with a sling

[crisp heath]

LoV have some really cool models

[storm jungle]

They're extremely sick

Cock and stone 🙏

[crisp heath]

[vagrant fox]

the names are always so weird to me

It's so close to meaning something in real languages but it's half gibberish

[crisp heath]

It's nordic inspired I'm pretty sure

[storm jungle]

^

hence the over use of Y's

HERYNKYN

[vagrant fox]

Yeah it's more hernkyn jaegers is one letter removed from just being iron kin hunters and it throws my brain for a loop

[storm jungle]

IRYNKYN

guh I hate it sometimes

[vagrant fox]

It doesn't really matter at all, it just throws a spanner into my brain when I try to think about it too much

[storm jungle]

It does matter.

its annoying, death!!!

[vagrant fox]

yea you rite I'll make a huge issue out of this for no reason

but, they do look cool I'll give them that

[storm jungle]

Im gonna make an issue out of you in a minute

https://tenor.com/view/rat-gun-gif-27428821

[crisp heath]

Like that meme about space wolves on the Inquisition ship annoying everyone sounding like the swedish chef , SVEN it's me björn

HELLOOO SVEN
OH HELLLOOOO BJORN

Camera zooms out and all you can hear is this

[storm jungle]

Sven Ironwolf about to chalk it up with Kodwolf Wolfheart

[crisp heath]

So my first squad of marines I painted was some 3rd edition space wolves lol, this was before the actual space wolf's army was out

I look back now and want to tell myself off

[summer mural]

LMFAO

that sounds hilarious

[crisp heath]

Yeah it's pretty gold haha , I see alot of funny shit on Instagram about 40k

[summer mural]

on instagram?!

My instagram is so far removed from 40k

because im not a real 40k fan i guess

I got an income and everything

[crisp heath]

It happened when I was playing sm2 then all of a sudden my insta was nothing but 40k

[summer mural]

smh

I wish I got 40k insta stuff

well

maybe not?

I mostly get food and alcoholics

so...

[storm jungle]

I only visit instagram without an account to look at the main 40k instagram for codex artwork they sometimes post you cant get anywhere else

[summer mural]

sounds doable

[crisp heath]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH5a1fLOZ4h/?igsh=dTh0dWU5MG5zaWh6

[storm jungle]

🗣️

[crisp heath]

Here I'll get ya algorithm started

[vagrant fox]

oh very nice artwork

[summer mural]

that art looks exceptionally difficult to actually draw

[tall plinth]

Do you guys think the Khan is still alive?

[summer mural]

i think hes been brainwashed by the dark eldar and fights for them like that one giant troll guy in 300

[vagrant fox]

A few years ago I figured the Khan was dead and gone, now I know he's coming back

[tall plinth]

[tall plinth]

How/why’s that?

[vagrant fox]

Don't know how but I know GW likes money

[tall plinth]

I think he’ll come back having killed every dark eldar

[rose thorn]

Drukhari sprue leak is pretty awesome

We now know at least we have a foot hero

[summer mural]

so on the topic of the khan coming back

[tall plinth]

The best topic

[summer mural]

to decide these things, does gw have like a committee

or like is it one guy

[rose thorn]

If white scars become non codex complaint

[tall plinth]

They have an accountant

[summer mural]

because I assume they decide based on financial prospects

[rose thorn]

Idk how I’d feel

Lore wise they are non codex

[tall plinth]

I thought they were already on the edge

[summer mural]

but they also need to weave in some storytelling to make it happen

[rose thorn]

Yeah but their shit is “we put this guy on a bike” and “we really like wizards”

[summer mural]

so do the executives in some committee just go like we want khan back, and then tell all the creatives to make it happen

[rose thorn]

So no one gave a shit

[vagrant fox]

I think it's fine, White Scars aren't numerous so they can do some funny things

[tall plinth]

They also call eachother different names

[rose thorn]

Everyone knows that gw doenst care about you if your legion likes psykers

I guess BA like psykers a lot

[tall plinth]

I put it like this: the white scars appreciate and respect what the codex is trying to do, but they’re really independent so they’ll do the bare minimum if that

[summer mural]

hes definitely coming back at some point though

his fate is too ambigious

primarchs have survived worse than getting lost in the webway chasing some dark eldar

[storm jungle]

yeah its called plot armor

https://tenor.com/view/plot-armor-plot-armor-surprise-plot-armor-too-strong-gif-24937127

😭

[summer mural]

[vagrant fox]

Dorn went from being piranha'd to just losing a hand because of plot armour

[winter vessel]

Thank goodness they didn’t make it too obvious in Rogue One besides Donnie Yen whacking stormtroopers with the stick at the start, it’s why I like that movie so much

[vagrant fox]

It'd be fun if The Jag came busting out of the webway with some freed Deldar slaves but that might be shitting too much on the Deldar

[crisp heath]

Yessss! Gws bringing white scars back is this confirmed ??

Jagathai is one of the coolest primarchs

[vagrant fox]

Nothing confirmed as far as I know but primarchs sell well so

[storm jungle]

To be fair

anyone he frees means nothing, commorragh is literally endless

[crisp heath]

Ahhh ok ok fingers n toes crossed

[raven stone]

Sadly not any time soon I think.
Although given how 3 Demon Primarchs are back now…we can do with one more loyalist Primarch returning.
So who knows.

[vagrant fox]

There is that, the Deldar will replace the losses within one to two business days

[storm jungle]

literally

[hexed orchid]

The Space Wolf range refresh is hinting at someone else returning

[storm jungle]

I mean

[summer mural]

if a certain supreme grand master can roam around the chaos wastes for eternity

[storm jungle]

russ coming back is like

incredibly obvious

SW make a lot of money

[summer mural]

then khan can survive the webway

also what happened to russ again, how did he go awol

[storm jungle]

he went into the Eye to get a mcguffin to revive the Emperor

[summer mural]

oh yeah

[winter vessel]

Went out to buy some warp Milk and never came back

[storm jungle]

he said he'd return during the Yifftime

I mean Wolftime

[vagrant fox]

What's that silly wolfboy prophecy, it basically outlines the primarchs coming back

[raven stone]

Wait hang on I got it wrong.
We have 4 Demon Primarchs, and 2 Loyalist ones.
Russ is probably highly likely third.
So Jag could be the 4th. It’s either him or Rogal.

[summer mural]

isnt rogal like super dead

for a primarch

nvm

i realized

[vagrant fox]

Had a fit and just left his kids to go on errands some time after the heresy

[summer mural]

plot armor

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-beating-you-up-gif-24451506

[raven stone]

The super dead ones are Horus, Sanguinius and Ferrus Manus.

[storm jungle]

Remember

[raven stone]

The 3 that GW couldn’t really bring back without breaking…everything.

[storm jungle]

Primarch returns depend on sales

[crisp heath]

Allegedly

[winter vessel]

Vulkan is still on his respawn timer

[storm jungle]

so you need to calculate which Chapter makes the most money after Space Wolves

[spring cairn]

definitely not iron hands

[raven stone]

Actually in THAT case, if Slaamanders and Fists are coming up next

[storm jungle]

Yeah that.

[raven stone]

GW could be temperature measuring

[crisp heath]

Smurfs or ba I'd say

[summer mural]

ultramarines are getting a second primarch ?

[storm jungle]

Its either Sallies or Fists

[spring cairn]

Guilliman secundus

[celest dome]

After, not before

[storm jungle]

Secundeez nu-

[raven stone]

Vulkan or Rogal returns would be nice, either one works for me.

May the best Marines sales win…

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-manhattan-gif-18899941

[hexed orchid]

Cawl cloning Guilliman because they might actually be able to sort out the Imperiums logistics

[vagrant fox]

Vulkan just needs to be found to get his ass off some stupidass planet like last time

[queen laurel]

He got atomized you drug addicted cousin of ronald mcdonald

If he is alive after that i am blowing my head off with a shotgun

[crisp heath]

That's a new one

[vagrant fox]

He survived worse

[raven stone]

But Russ is definitely coming back at some point.
And come on, we need some DA/SW infighting to give Guilliman a bigger headache…

[storm jungle]

Russ is next edition

[crisp heath]

Drug addicted cousin of Ronald mc Donald

[storm jungle]

he'll come back in some big event like Arks of Memes

[vagrant fox]

What happened to my cuz Ron McDon

[celest dome]

Do you think he will get a new thing from the Emperor, or just stay with his spear

[queen laurel]

Man i can't wait for maggie to mentally break upon seeing that happen

[strange umbra]

Corvus Corax is another likely candidate for returning

[crisp heath]

He's not looking so good these days

[winter vessel]

Russ’ return to his Space Wolves after spending so much time exposed to the powers of the Immaterium

[hexed orchid]

You know what annoys me most about Vulkan? He's literally just off huffing somewhere

[crisp heath]

Corvus is pretty much a warp God atm isn't he

[celest dome]

Daemon maybe, god no

[raven stone]

A bit less likely, if only because GW kind of wrote themselves into a corner (he is now a sort of demon prince like Primarch thing that is also still loyal but obviously too demonic to be superhuman…)

[summer mural]

vulkan is walking around some desert planet in a cloak and hood preaching about love peace and flamethrowers

[crisp heath]

Warp entity* my bad

[strange umbra]

The question is not "Which primarch would fit best as returning" It's "Which primarch returning would make GW the most money" Which is probably Russ tbqh

[raven stone]

Amnesia is a bitch, even if you have infinite regen…

[vagrant fox]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-pesci-what-the-fuck-wtf-wtf-is-that-what-the-fuck-is-this-gif-24937450

Russ coming back to see the modern Space Wolves

[outer wave]

So Vash the Stampede but with pyromania

[summer mural]

still havent seen trigun, heard its good though

[outer wave]

It's really good, haven't seen the new anime much

[raven stone]

Russ is 3rd for sure, but we are playing guessing game on 4th.
Since we know there will be a 1:1 ratio for loyalist and traitor Primarchs (and the traitor Primarchs are 4)

[outer wave]

The old one is really good though, can't go wrong with it

[hexed orchid]

Either that or he got too much Ork juice after the last time he died and is secretly leading an Ork waaaaagh as a holiday

[summer mural]

lorgar doesnt have a canon model or image as a daemon primarch does he

[celest dome]

Russ, Perturabo, Dorn
Or Russ, Religious dude, Crow

[crisp heath]

I mean he is green

[vagrant fox]

Not that I like War of The Beast at all but didn't they just find Vulkan sniffing his own farts somewhere random

[hexed orchid]

"There aren't nearly enough wolf references anymore. Sort it out lads"

[crisp heath]

Lmao crow

He has the coolest chapter but the worst charecter lorgar

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much.

[summer mural]

lorgar is kinda cool as a villain type

[storm jungle]

People forget every single decision in warhammer IPs is made on money, not lore

[summer mural]

his origin story makes more sense to me than mortarion

[strange umbra]

4th is likely Khan, esp since he featured pretty heavily in Siege of Terra series

[crisp heath]

His chapter had the first possessed marines iirc

[storm jungle]

Him being featured in Siege doesnt do much

White Scars are very much not popular

[strange umbra]

True

[storm jungle]

people wojak point at them and go "they're cool" but never buy their models

which sucks but it is what it is

[crisp heath]

There like way stronger than normal possessed cause something specific happened to em

[raven stone]

I don’t know, upcoming marine releases are Salamanders and Fists, tilting the likelihood towards Vulkan or Dorn depending on sales.

[queen laurel]

I forgot they existed until you just reminded me of them right now

[strange umbra]

But after Russ, what popular primarch is there?

Vulkan is cool but slept on

[storm jungle]

Its Sallies or Fists

most likely Fists

Dorn is like

[vagrant fox]

People do like their Fists and Templars

[storm jungle]

a very safe sleeper option

also what Sig said yeah

[strange umbra]

Black Templars ARE the best chapter, yes

[raven stone]

If him getting a tank named after him is supposed to be a big hint…

[crisp heath]

I'm waiting for templars to come out again

[queen laurel]

Imagine he's peacefully built himself his like perfect heavenly place of like good fortress in peace and then suddenly he got found in

[raven stone]

Considering Leman Russ

As well

[crisp heath]

Pretty sure Bts are one of there best selling factions

[summer mural]

people love their autistic rage idgaf about anything except my braindead need to PURGE

[raven stone]

As it turns out that was the Imperial Palace, and he has been secretly leading the Custodes until Guilliman was all like “yo Dorn enough of the secret BS, show yourself.”

[crisp heath]

I just like sigusmund tbh

Very good swordsman

[summer mural]

doesnt everyone

sigi had a lot "oh your a badass' moments

[strange umbra]

Not Dorn

[crisp heath]

But I don't like the stuff he gets upto

[winter vessel]

I’m just wondering if the next Primarch will also get a relic of Big E like Roboute and Johnson. R has the sword and LJ has the Emperor’s shield

[raven stone]

Most likely

[summer mural]

i think they will

someone will get the claw

someone the spear

[vagrant fox]

I think it was stated they each would, don't remember where

or the idea was that they would, whichever suits

[raven stone]

If GW chooses Dorn to be the 4th Primarch after Russ, Dorn is likely to have Primarch sized custodian weapon. Which could be cool.
Actually Dorn might get that bitchass claw.

Since Fists and all.

GW not being subtle with their imagery.

[summer mural]

id just give dorn big E's old underwear

[vagrant fox]

It has been interesting, G-man getting the sword, Lion getting a shield to play on their weaker sides

[storm jungle]

You should read Siggy in siege

one of the most sleep inducing stuff ever

his chapters are like

"Im some sort of... Emperor's Champion."

*vine boom*

"I must lead my... Templar Brethren. Who all wear Black..."

*vine boom*

[summer mural]

you can tell his brain has folded to remove all functions except the incessant need to WIN

[storm jungle]

real

[winter vessel]

Emperor’s Champion is the equivalent of receiving an employee of the month award

[vagrant fox]

It's maybe because I skipped so many of the HH books but I liked his arc from what I glimpsed, going from a being to just some fanatic robot who kills

[storm jungle]

Yeah his duel with Kharn is hilarious

he says nothing to him

while Kharn is like

"RAAARRAGHHHH"

[summer mural]

disrespect goes so hard lmao

[raven stone]

Kharn calls Sigismund damaged. The hypocrisy is rich and delicious.

[storm jungle]

^

one of the dumbest moments of the book

let me get it

[vagrant fox]

Kharn is a funny and swell guy, it's dumb but I love that

[crisp heath]

He slapped fulgrim and cut him w his chain

[summer mural]

kharn is basically an exalted bloodletter in space marine armor by this point

[crisp heath]

That was funny

[vagrant fox]

I liked Sig's moments in TEATD but maybe there were a few too many chapters of doing the same thing

[crisp heath]

https://youtu.be/-0KiGGkBc98?si=xnLhwQwvSsy-xQCo

[summer mural]

i just like sigismunds death tbh

that truly is like, peak space marine way to die

[strange umbra]

Dorn would probably get the Emperor's armor tbh

[vagrant fox]

I remember finding it hype, that duel was swagged up

[raven stone]

That could work too

[storm jungle]

he would get the Emperor's fist

his Imperial fist

[summer mural]

rogal dorn? more like, " IM REGALLY ADORNED NOW!"

[strange umbra]

4th loyal returning primarch is obviously Alpharius though

[storm jungle]

Kharn has literal brain damage

[winter vessel]

You mean…?

[raven stone]

Actually I think I will call it now.
Russ and Dorn as 3rd and 4th returning Primarchs.
Simply because GW has to have randomly named the new Guard tank after Dorn for a reason.

[storm jungle]

likely tbh

Kharn talking about shit like this as if he isnt some berserk psychopath killing anyone in his path is funny af

[vagrant fox]

It's peak literature I'm weeping

[storm jungle]

ı cried

I clapped when he said theres only war

[summer mural]

LMFAO

[vagrant fox]

I unironically love it, it's peak warhams

It's shit all the way down brother

[summer mural]

i like how his last words were about trying to get a moral and ethical one upping, like yeah this is whats really important right now, which one of us has the moral high ground and its me, Kharn, the Blood Crazed Champion of Khorne

[raven stone]

More wild speculation, Dorn is forced to emerge from hiding because the Tyranid Hive Fleet actually reaches Terra to do a proper siege (unlike Magnus’ puny attempt during Guilliman’s journey).
GW will write the plot to ensure Guilliman, Russ and Johnson are all tied down by something else.

[strange umbra]

I still think the entire Horus Heresy era was a mistake

[storm jungle]

See the video above

[strange umbra]

It should've been left mysterious

[storm jungle]

the end is worth it

[strange umbra]

I honestly could not finish TEATD

[summer mural]

and sigismund is just like " kharn this is a wendys"

[strange umbra]

I stopped halfway through book 2

[vagrant fox]

Thank god I only read like 8 or 9 HH + siege books, I got what I wanted out of it

[raven stone]

I think HH novels were hits and misses. Some hits, some miss.
Angron’s background is a massive, massive miss for example.
Jaghtai Khan’s is one I would call a massive hit.

[strange umbra]

What the fuck did they do to Ollanius

[crisp heath]

Hh is probably some of my favorite lore

[strange umbra]

All the perpetual crap was stupid

[storm jungle]

I BARELY finished all 3 books

[vagrant fox]

It was a bit unnecessary

[storm jungle]

remember its 1700+ pages

holy fuck Abnett can you just not

[winter vessel]

And every book writes Big E differently

[storm jungle]

the part where Oll gives up his christianity to embrace the Emperor as a messiah and that he needs to get up through the power of friendship to defeat Horus was hilarious

like what the fuck am i reading rn

[vagrant fox]

I think I blanked that out

[strange umbra]

oh god

[storm jungle]

DSFLKDSFKLDSF

[summer mural]

naruto vibes

[arctic talon]

I don’t know a single person who thinks the end and the death isn’t too long

Also

Somehow the ending feels rushed

[storm jungle]

It was

[arctic talon]

[raven stone]

@storm jungle when someone gets what GW wanted of its fans better than GW themselves ever does.

https://youtu.be/aKOu8fszpFo?feature=shared

[strange umbra]

How the fuck did Abnett fumble what used to be the coolest moment in all of 40k

[vagrant fox]

I told my friend who masturbates to the fantasy of original Oll and he got so upset it is funny

[arctic talon]

Too much thinking

Not enough doing

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

His editor didn’t reign him in

[storm jungle]

Like I enjoy some parts of the 3 volumes but its just too much

[arctic talon]

Is the big thing

[vagrant fox]

It could've sincerely used some editing

[storm jungle]

knowing it was Nick Kyme makes me laugh every time

[vagrant fox]

There's a bunch of cool stuff but a lot of what's the point of that

[arctic talon]

He kind of went hog wild

[summer mural]

this fella has a great voice for narration

[arctic talon]

Lol

[arctic talon]

Mfw Kyme tells Abnett to write whatever he wants

[winter vessel]

I’ll keep it in my heart. I just like Ollie as the simple guardsman who stood up to the Chaos Juiced Cue Ball.

[raven stone]

And also being slightly over ambitious, trying to tie in all versions of who sacrificed themselves for the Emperor into a single coherent narrative.

[storm jungle]

so uh fun fact with that, he mentions this in the afterword of Vol3.

Basically and I quote: "My editor Kyme told me write as much as I want and not worry about wordcount."

so you basically did not do your job as an editor

[summer mural]

[storm jungle]

nice one Kyme

go fuck yourself

[vagrant fox]

Another Kyme W

[raven stone]

The way he presents everything reminds me of what got me hooked into 40k in the first place. Guy knows what goes on in our heads when we read the lore and play the game.

[summer mural]

im listening to it

this dude is straight up a pro

his narration is flawlessly serious lmao

it sounds like im listening to a description of a roman battle from a former centurion

[raven stone]

It captures the intended 40k mood just right.
Cheesy enough to be entertainment but also down to Earth and gritty in content, as if it was real.

[arctic talon]

He does good narrative battle reports

I’m not always looking for narrative stuff though lul

But his quality is insanely good

[winter vessel]

Is Tallarn Ironclad a single book or a part of a series?

[crisp heath]

The difference between a good narrator and a great one is crazy

Makes you realise most of the YouTube ones are terrible

[winter vessel]

I mean I kinda like Vox in the Void

[crisp heath]

I like grimdark shards heaps

He's v good

Does short audio books

Usually horror one's

I'll have to check out vox in the void

[winter vessel]

He does it very nice. I’d recommend the Last Chancers and I love his brief “Pity the Guardsman” delivery. As well as the Gav and Bob series

My first exposure to a 40k narrator in media was Warrior Tier and that Ogryn short story

[crisp heath]

https://youtu.be/qVxsn8hA4cI?si=OH9pdwdrFCkq7kXm

This is his style

Usually about ships or stations and the imaterium and it's horrors

https://youtu.be/JqqD9JcMC4s?si=uZn7oNkbJr1eb8QX

This one's really good

[vagrant fox]

There was one story I came across about a priest visting some shipbreakers and they find a space marine frozen in stasis in a bit of ship hull and it goes way south

I've never been able to find it again

[winter vessel]

I think that was a Vox in the void one.

I just don’t remember the title but I remember listening to how a rogue trader thought he was gonna make bank but they let loose a crazed Astartes

[crisp heath]

The first one i sent is about some imperial turned heretic looting a ship and finding a big chunk of flesh in status which they thonk is a priceless artifact , the second one is v good it's about soritas cleansing a tzeentch cult

[queen laurel]

@green loom @summer mural there add you two to the list

ed you're the death company marine and drifty

fuck it you're the kraken eater

[summer mural]

this isnt like

an eyes wide shut kinda list right?

[queen laurel]

what do you mean

[summer mural]

oh its this great kubrick movie about secret sex cults starring tom cruise and nicole kidman

https://tenor.com/view/eyes-wide-shut-stanley-kubrick-movies-tom-cruise-masks-gif-27061542

[queen laurel]

no i'm just bored and I decided to make you people into minis but for this information I might just have to turn you into a snotling

[summer mural]

ohh uh

i see.

[vagrant fox]

is there a greater response to near annihilation to clown on the galaxy

[summer mural]

egrimm van horstmann is pretty cool

I actually really like his shenanigans when he was not discovered as a traitor and was completely destabilizing the order of light from within

including getting the patriarch killed and then orchestrating his own rise to patriarch

[meager zinc]

So Cawl released primaris marines after the Great Rift formed?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[meager zinc]

How long you think did it take for all chapters on the Cawl's side of the Rift to get fully primaris'd up?

[late osprey]

happened throughout the indomitus crusade IIRC

[rose thorn]

What’s chat’s thoughts on mannfred von carstine

[queen laurel]

he gave us aos because he just cannot sit still and had to be a traitor

0 out of 10

But to be honest I do like the fact that they make him so unlikable they succeed on that

[terse kestrel]

what regiment are the penance armour? the blue havoc one

I thought it was 51 or 21

[arctic talon]

They aren’t fully primaris yet, only the newly founded primaris only chapters are fully primaris

[celest dome]

The Havoc ones are 53rd

We also have 21st (Pc players from before console release)

[terse kestrel]

which ones are the blue coloured havoc armour

[celest dome]

Those ?

[terse kestrel]

oh its the 6th

[summer mural]

actually likeable character that became insufferable in the end times

also kinda saved the empire from vlad

also has cool af vampire quotes like this one

"It seems to me that life is like a fast-flowing stream, and the mortals upon the world are like sticks and leaves caught helpless in its grip, dragged on through life, age, and into death. But we, the children of blood, have stepped beyond the river, rooted outside of its urging flow, standing as stones whilst life and time pass by. Thus we see all things come and go, empires rise and fall, all things once strong become weak. All things, of course, save ourselves."

[sly ivy]

Who wrote that for him? Is that Josh Reynolds?

[summer mural]

its from 2nd edition Nights Dark Masters

dunno who wrote it

https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Night's_Dark_Masters

[sour hornet]

What will i be

[queen laurel]

i'm gonna be honest i forgot you existed

so tell me what do you want to be before i forget

[summer mural]

also on the topic of manny carstein

I recommend the third vampire war

manfredd uses actual tactics and strategies, and the empire does too, its kinda competent as far as wars are concerned

[spring cairn]

bald mf

[summer mural]

glorious baldness

[summer mural]

iirc, this is also the one that climaxes at the battle of hel fenn

where manfredd fights united imperials and their dawi allies

Skaventide is so good so far

The depressed lesbian painter is so good

[bright yew]

The blue is the 6th

The black one is the 53rd

You can see it on the pauldron

The 21st have different flak armor and a blue uniform

[summer mural]

I just reread nagash lore for fun

feel so bad for that good ol lad alcadizaar

its even worse when you realize that after all that, they built mourkain on top of his burial mound

[storm jungle]

he took L's even post-death 💀

such is the will of Nagash

[arctic talon]

Such is the power of nagash

[summer mural]

gw can we have a giant statue of this art please

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

how bout this one

[outer wave]

God I love 40k yaoi

[spring cairn]

this would give Skarbrand an aneurysm

[outer wave]

Nah he would cumdge instead

[summer mural]

[storm jungle]

He doesnt already have one?

[summer mural]

i completely forgot what an absolute pos nagash was every moment of his existence

the mans so busted beyond belief, he got burnt to a crisp in a furnace, then the sooty particles drifting in the wind found each other over decades and decades and coalesced into a blob over decades which crawled itself to the black pyramid inch by inch over decades

and voila

evil bastards back

[spring cairn]

that one would actually kill him on the spot

[storm jungle]

Also yeah Nagash has been like

evil by the time he was a functioning human being around the age of 10 lol

[hallow plover]

More than erebus?

[storm jungle]

Extremely lol

Erebus is very much a sideshow attraction

Nagash's evil cuntiness has like so many fucking layers to it

remember that this man's pettiness lead to him literally becoming a god of the dead

[summer mural]

he created a personal brand of evil that influenced loads of other evil

[storm jungle]

^

He literally punishes you for being a nice person in life

😭

LIKE BRO WHAT DID I DO

[summer mural]

well

[hallow plover]

Based.

Is this covered in the nagash book/omnibus?

[summer mural]

at least its good to know even nagash believes mannfred has literally no redeeming qualities lmao

[hallow plover]

I'm not knowledgable in AoS

[arctic talon]

You didn’t pray to him while you were puking blood after getting shanked 22 times

You will now be tortured forever

As a ghost

[arctic talon]

A lot of rulebook stuff

[hallow plover]

How do you avoir getting nagash'd on death? Swear your soul to chaos or get reforged into stormcast by siggy?

[arctic talon]

Those 2 work, maybe you’re too boring for nagash, maybe another god protects you, Ect.

But if nagash takes notice of you

That’s rough

[storm jungle]

Yeah he literally sometimes does it just to be a cunt.

like... theres essentially no loopholes

lmao

[languid meadow]

Didn't expect old daemon yaoi in lore chat

[rocky gale]

Rookie move

[arctic talon]

olynder

Now granted she was kind of a horrible person

But I don’t think she deserved that lol

[outer wave]

Nagash is unique in that he's just a cunt to everyone, good or bad

Dedicated follower or usurper

[arctic talon]

Nagash doesn’t like good people that much

Tbh

[outer wave]

Olynder and the ferry man weren't good people and yet are placed in ironically awful positions

[rocky gale]

What he did to Kurdoss Valentian was worse

[arctic talon]

Oh he’s uh

Olynders husband(?) right

[outer wave]

Ye

[rocky gale]

Dude was a follower of Sigmar who overthrew his brother who worshipped Nagash. But on the day of his coronation Nagash struck him down and made him an undead

[outer wave]

Assigned by Nagash despite their protests

[rocky gale]

Then in the realms of the Undead he was starting to amass power and become a Wight King when Nagash again denied him, scooped him up and forced him to marry Lady Olynder

Basically the dudes main desire was to become King and Nagash just keeps cucking him everytime he's about to do it

Then to hammer in the joke Nagash cursed him to float around on a throne and made him unable to talk

He can only communicate through his heralds which call him names like "The usurper", "The False King" and "The Craven King"

[outer wave]

Don't they also blare horns right next to his ear just to annoy him?

[rocky gale]

While forever wed to a Queen and forced to do whatever she wants

Yep

[arctic talon]

Also don’t they stop him from getting any kills

His guards

They literally stab them before he can finish them off

[rocky gale]

If I remember rightly the Heralds are the souls of the people he betrayed in life

[outer wave]

Man those heralds are eating good

They're probably the best example of Nagash being benevolent with his punishments

"Benevolent" of course

[rocky gale]

Yea I think they're the brothers he betrayed and in that case they were worshipers of Nagash who ruled a kingdom devoted to him, so he's a bit more lenient

Lets them annoy their brother as a treat

[rose thorn]

YDYDYFYF

[sacred bluff]

this is TMNT all over again

[wintry scarab]

Why does this thing have a second grip?

[vagrant fox]

the worlds worst stock

[storm jungle]

because the mini also has one

you're like 20 years late to the party

[vagrant fox]

I'd like it if the stock on the ingame model was more that sized, it looks a little anemic ingame

[opaque coyote]

It isn't the size that matters

It's how you use it

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

tbh in the mini its big because its a miniature

[vagrant fox]

[storm jungle]

if it was that large ingame it'd look way goofier

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside, I like to think that the flamers might be makeshift.

A lot of the flamer patterns in general don't have a stock.

Also the fact that it has a wood finish terrifies me for obvious reasons

Like what if an ember falls on it. The thing is fucking ruined

Considering that the Zealot in lore is literally just

Somebody who decided to go batshit and kill heretics without sanction

It would make sense if their flamers are also makeshift. Maybe cobbled together from different guns and industrial tools

Also because there is no way in hell somebody would make an STC fragment of a Flamer with a wooden stock

Then again, I'm pretty sure DAoT humans were on the rough stage of

"I can use this STC to do any bullshit I want"

We already have people doing it with AI after all

[vagrant fox]

It'd probably take a lot more than just an ember unless it's something that wants to explode if you just look at it wrong like eucalyptus

[opaque coyote]

yeah ik but like

i imagine if there is a tiny error, instead of it just being bad

it would be fucking awful

like even assuming if it's just like

a surface wood finish

it would still render the flamer unusable

tbf a flamethrower having an error is very fucking bad but there's a reason why they're made out of fucking metal

[full obsidian]

wooden frames are stylish

and shit in 40k just isnt logical

[storm jungle]

^

only person that gets it

[vagrant fox]

this freakin' bot it's killin me

[full obsidian]

i mean arent the soldiers just meant to believe that guns work because the machine spirit said so

[vagrant fox]

I wouldn't be too too worried if it's treated to be flame resistant, plus the soviets used wooden furniture on one of their flamethrower designs. Then again, it was made to look more like an ordinary rifle to not draw attention

but it's vostroyan weapons, it's just their schtick to look ornate and old timey

[storm jungle]

😭

automod out on a bloodhunt today

[vagrant fox]

I'll kill that thing one day

[storm jungle]

it blocks the shit I say sometimes too

its funny

[full obsidian]

the zealot probably unironically thinks that the holy design of the wooden flamethrower makes it better

[vagrant fox]

Some zealots are white girl ditzy it's true

[hallow saddle]

flame regardant

[arctic talon]

It’s super wood

[vagrant fox]

What's that one Necromunda novel where a bunch of people are given flamers that only work sometimes, Fire Made Flesh or something

but being very religious makes them work smile

I oughta finish that one, it had some interesting stuff going on

[storm jungle]

Yeah and its Cawdor

aka homeless people

so not surprised lmao

[arctic talon]

Cawdor moment

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it's not that the soldiers wouldn't use such a tihng that I'm confused about

I would totally believe the average guardsman would use a fucking wooden finish flamer

also space wood or something

I'm just thinking

What high ass DAoT era human decided to go to the STC and be like

"Hey AI"

snoorrttt

"G-give me a fucking WOODEN FLAMETHROWER?"

[WHAT?]

"Do it nowwwwwwww"

[GOD DAMMIT THIS IS WHY WE'RE GONNA REBEL ONE DAY]

"What?"

[WHAT?]

[vagrant fox]

Some weapons enthusiasts really, really like wood furniture

[dapper gyro]

Using wood as furniture for flamethrower is a good idea and intentional. Wood has way lower heat transfer than metal, so it keeps you from getting burn.

Despite being pretty much a fuel source, wood is difficult to burn, you don't start fire with it generally.

[opaque coyote]

yeah it needs to be dry if i remember

wait that's starting a fire

[dapper gyro]

Yes...

You got it the other way.

[opaque coyote]

i mean ig hardwood is probably the best for anti fire

which is probably what they use

[vagrant fox]

Walnut which was commonly used for weapon furniture was on the more flame resistant side

It does take a bit of effort

The ROKS flamethrower was also pretty funny, look at that thing

[dapper gyro]

The thing is that once it reaches the temperature for wood to burn, it will deteriorate into inflammable gas and burn as amber.

[opaque coyote]

Oh hey a rifl- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[dapper gyro]

But otherwise, it is good insulation, of course not comparable to modern tech.

[arctic talon]

Also imperial wood furniture for admech guns at least

Is super heavily treated

[dapper gyro]

I can only talk of real life example.

[arctic talon]

The vostroyans get along well with the mechanicus so I’d assume their wood goes through a similar process

[dapper gyro]

WH40k can do whatever.

[vagrant fox]

It ultimately is just because it looks cool and that's it, but it's fun to think about a bit

[dapper gyro]

Remember, even SM still use leather pouches...

[arctic talon]

Mmmmm

Grox

What do y’all think grox tastes like

[vagrant fox]

mm, human skin pouches. Which Black Templar has that again, was it in Broken Crusade?

[arctic talon]

Human leather is a pretty popular thing in the imperium

[full obsidian]

Is human leather actually good though

Or is it just there because muh grimdark

[rose thorn]

Oh I forgot BT are organized by crusades

[vagrant fox]

I always imagine grox tasting somewhere between mushrooms and chicken

[arctic talon]

Human leather irl is weaker then cow leather but it’s not bad at all

[opaque coyote]

Probably also have special like

space wood (tm)

or something

[arctic talon]

It’s closest to pig leather

In terms of properties

[opaque coyote]

It's a nice coat

[arctic talon]

So it’s pretty soft

[full obsidian]

Hmm I wonder where the data for that came from

[arctic talon]

It’s nice on books and such Id assume lol

[dapper gyro]

Nah, but barely hold up against pig leather.

[arctic talon]

Mhm

[arctic talon]

Idk I’m sure the research paper is neat

[dapper gyro]

Don't ask how I know.

[full obsidian]

Did bro just have to put "I'd assume" as an edit 💀

[arctic talon]

Lol

In any case human leather isn’t that grim dark imo

Irl cultures have done it with some regularity globally

[opaque coyote]

Most are usually from ancient socities tbh

[arctic talon]

The imperium doing it for more fancy things seems fine

[opaque coyote]

However there have been cases as late as the 1800s where people, after being dead, decided to donate their body to science

[arctic talon]

We know the Lex Imperialis is bound in human leather

[full obsidian]

Yeah but it's grimdark when it's on a mass scale like the corpse starch thing

[dapper gyro]

Most leathers have to have a good layer of fat to it, and human really don't have as much.

[opaque coyote]

and apparently some scientists decided to turn their skin into leather for shits and giggles

[arctic talon]

For the copies kept in arbite precincts

[vagrant fox]

There's a video about human leather bound books I gotta find

[arctic talon]

The field copies for the Lex imperialis

Are not bound in human skin

They’re grox hide

[opaque coyote]

Surviving examples of human skin bindings have often been commissioned, performed, or collected by medical doctors, who have access to cadavers, sometimes those of executed criminals, such as the case of John Horwood in 1821 and William Corder in 1828

A famous example is James Allen, who on his death bed was like

"Yo, when I die, bind a copy of a book I like with my own skin. I really like it..."

fucking dies

And they actually did

[dapper gyro]

Our skin is too thin to make it worth the effort of threating it. It is a novelty thing at best in the human history.

No real practical use.

[opaque coyote]

It's basically there because it's cool.

That's

That's it

You're better off using cow, pig, etc.

[dapper gyro]

In 40K, maybe Catachan skin is good enough to make anything out of.

[opaque coyote]

That being said, the Imperium probably uses human leather mainly for like

fashion

and also books

[full obsidian]

Maybe ogyrn skin is good enough

[vagrant fox]

It's a big ol' death cult it makes sense for them

[opaque coyote]

because apparently the law books paper uses human skin

the Lex Imperialis

[opaque coyote]

tbf human beings are probably the most plentiful supply for the Imperium

[arctic talon]

Vellum

[coarse pumice]

Wasn't there this guy who wanted to have his body made into a drum when he died so he could continue to inspire in battle after death?

[opaque coyote]

I wouldn't be surprised if even outside of desperate times, a lot of rations have a mysterious source of "protein"

[dapper gyro]

Shit, I was just talking about how SM still using leather pouches, and now we are discussing the best use for human leather...

[opaque coyote]

waste not want not

[opaque coyote]

Yeah human leather in general is mid tier

C-

[dapper gyro]

D tier at best

[opaque coyote]

The night lords are cringe, do some real tanning

Actually that would be a funny quirk for like a Slaaneshi OC

"HUMAN SKIN?!? EW I'M NEVER USING THAT. TOO LOW QUALITY!"

"Now, Tau Leather is surprisingly good-"

I have mentioned like a fashion diva Slaaneshi OC. If only because

Well it would sound interesting

Eldar would theoretically probably be unable to be turned into leather

If I remember correctly they have like

no fat

[opaque coyote]

Also are Eldar bones like literal rocks?

Like there is a phenomenon for human beings that get too old

Our bones calicify

[vagrant fox]

Her video style isn't for everyone, but she covers a wide range of interesting topics with somewhat of a morticians lens on things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhT5YWV_c0s

But there's like 5 human skin bound books and it's not so good for the purpose

[opaque coyote]

And also, apparently when Eldar grow old enough, they basically start to crystallize

And I wonder if it's like inspired by that

[dapper gyro]

Maybe? I don't know.

[dapper gyro]

Fossilisation

[arctic talon]

Elder Psyker bones turn to crystal

Very slowly very painfully lol

Because grimdark

[opaque coyote]

I mean if you think about it

It's basically a really bad form of osteoporosis

just

Magical and Eldar

which is kinda funny

[arctic talon]

It’s based on the chorf thing

Explicitly tbh

Since chorfs also turn to stone using magic

[opaque coyote]

wtf is a chorf

that sounds like some made up name similar to glaggle simpson or something

it was a crazy biologis

also Xenology is non-canon

[arctic talon]

[vagrant fox]

Wasn't it a rogue trader who was wrong about all of the shit

[storm jungle]

Uhhh the fucking-

[arctic talon]

No

[opaque coyote]

why

[storm jungle]

i forgot his name

[storm jungle]

too much setting shaking mythology

[arctic talon]

Liber xenologis is written by a rogue trader

[storm jungle]

thats Xenologis

[arctic talon]

And its slightly more sane

[opaque coyote]

...that actually kinda sucks tbh

although maybe the book was probably dogshit

[arctic talon]

Eldar do not shit crystals

[arctic talon]

It’s like a meth bender

Lol

[opaque coyote]

40k is literally a meth bender in general tbh

[vagrant fox]

there was genuinely so much borderline smut about touching elf ears on the 4chan traditional games board

and it's still better than the majority of 4chan tbh

to be honest, i think it wouldn't be true if only because like

imagine how that shit would feel in the cold

constantly

that should would be awful

[vagrant fox]

hell yeah feels fantastic

I love cold showers and winter bathing

[opaque coyote]

i think you might be insane

[arctic talon]

[opaque coyote]

then again i like my weighted blankets

[arctic talon]

Are humans the only dnd race with rounded ears lol

[opaque coyote]

let me check

[vagrant fox]

I don't know D&D particularly well but I figured the shortfolk were roundears

[arctic talon]

Gnomes and halflings got tips

[opaque coyote]

halflings mostly got rounded in depictions

[arctic talon]

Wait you’re right

Nvm lol

[full obsidian]

Is that why eldar always wear big helmets

[arctic talon]

No

It’s based on like

I forgot which nation

Irl

[vagrant fox]

Looks similar enough to phrygian helmets

sorta

[opaque coyote]

nah

the factoid is non canon anyways

so

eh

although apparently it's also an erogenous zone for humans

ears

i think it's an individual thing because i don't feel shit

[full obsidian]

I mean it's probably someone's fetish

Lol

[opaque coyote]

probably

[arctic talon]

HAAAANK HAAAAANK DON’T ABBREVIATE COMBAT PATROL OR COMMAND POINT

[wintry scarab]

Im not trippin right, the animations that occur when walking up against the wall in darktide were added not long ago right? I swear they were not there at launch

[arctic talon]

For the weapons like going up? Nah

They’ve been in the game for ages

[wintry scarab]

"For ages" but not since launch? I have a vivid memory of going into the meat grinder as an update just came out and was surprised to see my gun go up when i went up next to a wall.

[bright yew]

How does a sister of battle join an order?

Do they told the novitiate after a selection that “you go with the martyred lady order” or how?

[wintry scarab]

Same with things like the las gun. I swear it had totally different reload/sprint anims? Also when you inspected the boltgun at launch, your guy would cock back chamber thing when inspecting the gun

[storm jungle]

Yeah those changes were like in the way early months

people complained it looked too fancy/took too long to reload (skill issue)

[arctic talon]

They get picked for an order when they exit the schola

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

In one of the Dark Heresy expansion books it talks about drill abbesses snooping around Progenia looking for suitable candidates

the best and worst thing

if anybody has a 40k question, somebody probably asked it there

and aprox. 65% of them are primarch relate-

My dear friend was asked what he was into and he started talking about 40k for about three quarters of an hour and the woman he was rambling at lost any and all interest

xenologist eldar lore was wacky

diamond poop, erogenous ears, needing sex multiple times per pregnancy just off the top of my head

there was definitely an inside guy in charge of that page

xenologist is where we get Da Fat Ork, though

[arctic talon]

The third one is canon still

For better or for worse

[full obsidian]

"lore" aka the writers fetishes in all in one 🤣

[late osprey]

truly grand

[vagrant fox]

All world building is just magical realms anyway it's fine

[bright yew]

My fren knows about 40k because I sent her a random video of a vtuber with a dog in a bowl avatar talking about the lore in a yt short

[late osprey]

i wish eldar weren't as humanized as they are, hot take

although ive bitched about this plenty of times already, im a broken record

i like drukhari because they really play up a more alien angle

[vagrant fox]

I gotta find that art I really found cool

[late osprey]

normal eldar are too much like Space Elves

[arctic talon]

The creepy pure black eyes for eldar

Are good

[vagrant fox]

it's fucking peak

[arctic talon]

I’m sad GW didn’t do it for yvraine

[storm jungle]

what does that even mean

are you also gonna say imperials are too much like imperials?

[late osprey]

that Elves In Space is about as conductive to the setting as a rusty wrench thrown at my motherboard

the conventional Elf trope comes with subtropes that just do not fit in my beloved war setting

[sacred bluff]

eldar should be extinct

[late osprey]

TRUE

and only dark eldar

[vagrant fox]

don't do that to my boys

[arctic talon]

They’re not really like traditional elves though for craftworld

[late osprey]

dark eldar are so badass

[arctic talon]

They’re pretty different from like

Most generic depictions

[storm jungle]

I dont really agree at all, they are a very unique aesthetic thats done right

[arctic talon]

The only thing they share is the huge ego lol

[late osprey]

there's potential for them to be different, but it's not being realized
