40k-lore-chat

[opaque coyote]

Like my schools and colleges are like

[arctic talon]

Like the NCPD swat team are armed to the teeth

They have good hardware

If they’re not killing something it’s a whole other issue lol

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah in case of a school shooting, do X"

How about NOT FUCKING WORRYING ABOUT BEING SHOT

[median star]

how long do you think the actual flight from the morningstar to atoma is via valkyrie

[late osprey]

unfortunately america is a country of orks

just how it is

[crisp heath]

It's fucking sad , I stay I'm nz so we don't have shootings but we have kids bringing knives to school stabbings ect ect a 14 year old killed someone w a knife last year honestly I blame hip hop

[opaque coyote]

I think the stupidest thing is how people are selling Kevlar Backpacks

Lile

That isn't gonna do shit

That's not how armor works

[crisp heath]

I swear rap music Is engineerd to do this

[late osprey]

like quite literally, its just an American problem

[opaque coyote]

Tbf kids brought knives in school before rap

[crisp heath]

In nz everyone's listening to "drill" which promotes this exact thing

[opaque coyote]

Like... it's a problem in high poverty areas essentially

[arctic talon]

Anyways 2077 took away all the teeth

From the corps lol

It’s sad

It’s depressing

[late osprey]

yeah i was noticing that in prep for my game

[opaque coyote]

Less Borgs damn

[late osprey]

the government legitimately just went "corps fuck off"

[arctic talon]

Not even less borgs

[late osprey]

and thus, corps fucked off

[crisp heath]

Yeah you're right there but eh idk it's all just a bit depressing

[late osprey]

simple as

also, Space Stationistan becomes a thing

[opaque coyote]

2077 should just have more outright satire of irl

[late osprey]

which i kinda dont like

but whatever

[arctic talon]

No Corpo death squads

[opaque coyote]

Also the Neo Nazi group should return

[arctic talon]

Why even live

[opaque coyote]

IDC if it adds chuds

[arctic talon]

Which one

[opaque coyote]

Frankly it'd just be fun

[late osprey]

its still there

[arctic talon]

The poser gang

[opaque coyote]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Or the actual Nazis

[late osprey]

its a major gang

[arctic talon]

Lol

[late osprey]

REd Line or whatever crap

[arctic talon]

Yeah that’s the poser gang

[crisp heath]

Half of them are internet posers the other half are actually fucking dangerous

[late osprey]

honestly on 2077, i hate that heavy armor makes you less accurate in shooting

thats the stupidest fucking rule ive ever seen

[vagrant fox]

Redline
Great animes

[late osprey]

less accurate in shooting, worse at melee

[opaque coyote]

Yeah just make them lile

[arctic talon]

Red Chrome Legion

[opaque coyote]

The worst gang

[arctic talon]

Are the actual fucking Nazis

Lol

[late osprey]

heavy armor should make you slower and worse at lots of stuff, sure

but not BASIC COMBAT FUNCTIONS

[arctic talon]

They evolved from a poser gang

[opaque coyote]

And by worst I mean the weakest

[arctic talon]

And then became actual Nazis

[late osprey]

actual cocaine infusion

[plush mason]

shit name ngl

[crisp heath]

Nz and Australia have a real problem w political level rasicm

[opaque coyote]

Shouldn't heavy armor help you tank recoil

Lile

[arctic talon]

Yeah well I’m sure you’ll be saying that when they’re carving a swastika in your heart

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Or is that not how physics work

[arctic talon]

They got rid of a lot of the shittier named gangs

In 2077

[crisp heath]

They become actual organisation's around here that like have legal representation

[late osprey]

heavy armor in Cyberpunk 2077 makes you worse at shooting and melee, it doesnt necessarily make recoil better by design

but also

[arctic talon]

Which is lame imo

Gangs irl have stupid names

[opaque coyote]

I mean like irl

[late osprey]

NOBODY would design armor that makes you unable to fucking shoot

yeah

irl

[opaque coyote]

But yeah

[arctic talon]

Lol

So like

Idk

[plush mason]

there is heavy armor in 2077?

[arctic talon]

Yes

It’s bad

[opaque coyote]

Tbf Cyberpunk 2077 disappoints me in general for the lack of heavier weapons.

Like there are only

Two LMGs

[plush mason]

or is that from before they changed how armor works? or are yall talking about the TT

[opaque coyote]

And only one of them looks decent

[arctic talon]

2077

[opaque coyote]

The other one looks ugly as sin

[arctic talon]

Also thank fuck

RED is getting a 2077 expansion

[late osprey]

the MG is an exotic gun

that

[arctic talon]

I can have my cake

And eat it too

[late osprey]

RAW doesnt benefit from an expanded magazine

great stuff, there

[opaque coyote]

I do not care.

The Defender is ass.

Just like

The worst to shoot

[arctic talon]

I’m so happy

[plush mason]

never saw it unless it got removed with the phantom liberty rework

[arctic talon]

They’re not making 2077 it’s own system

[opaque coyote]

I'd rather use the unity tbh

[arctic talon]

It’s absurdly rare now

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

It’s so bad it’s not worth using

[late osprey]

no im talking about the Tsunami

[opaque coyote]

Oh

💀

[arctic talon]

But yeah RED == 2077 now

As the same game system

Wonder what they’ll call it

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I was talking about jn game 2077 weapons

[arctic talon]

Because cyberpunk 2077 is a video game

So wtf are they gona call the expansion book

[opaque coyote]

2076

[arctic talon]

die

[opaque coyote]

Idk probably just the same tnh

[arctic talon]

Also I hope it’s not just the year 2077

[opaque coyote]

Like Cyberpunk 2077: Tabletop Edition

[arctic talon]

I hope it’s from 2060-2080 or something

[opaque coyote]

Honestly a year after V's journey would be interesting

[late osprey]

yeah im talking about tabletop

which

is in many ways less than 2077 the vidya game

lmao

[arctic talon]

Since Red is from 2038->2055

It’s also in many ways better imo

It’s a mix lol

[crisp heath]

For the longest time I thought Bethesda was behind 2077

[arctic talon]

I think REDs depiction of the world is just better

[opaque coyote]

Although I wonder if there will be an option to like choose what ending would be

Or will it just default to the "Storm Arasaka" ending

[late osprey]

its DRASTICALLY different than in the video game for sure

but

still malding about the heavy armor rules

[crisp heath]

Same studio who gave us Witcher isn't it?

[late osprey]

and generally a lot of the RAW

[arctic talon]

If it’s post 2077 then we’ll know based on who’s alive

[plush mason]

how? oh right the million bugs on launch

[vagrant fox]

Is Pondsmith involved with RED?

[arctic talon]

Yes

Still his baby

[vagrant fox]

Very good

[arctic talon]

For better or for worse

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think that the default ending is gonna be the storm Arasaka one.

Although what V chooses (let Johnny take over, spend the remaining 6 months to the fullest) is gonna be ambiguous

[late osprey]

i like the secret ending the most for V

[opaque coyote]

But either way V leaves

[late osprey]

but personally id just side with Hanako

secret ending is by far the most heroic though

[opaque coyote]

The Secret Ending is definitely canon for me honestly.

[arctic talon]

Ngl

I don’t get why hanako is so loyal to saboru

Literally the rest of the living Arasaka kids hate him

[plush mason]

is there an ending that doesnt have V die/leave night city for good?

[arctic talon]

No

[late osprey]

yes

hanako

[crisp heath]

[arctic talon]

Well

[crisp heath]

I regret seeing this

[arctic talon]

They get soulkilled

[late osprey]

you get put on ice until the setting becomes Altered Carbon

[arctic talon]

If they agree

[arctic talon]

Nah you get soulkilled lol

[opaque coyote]

It makes the most sense.

One of the first mistakes for the initial heist was that V got their friends involved.

And their friends died.

With don't fear the reaper? It's just you.

You're a dying person anyways

[arctic talon]

Which isn’t that bad aside from the horrific pain

But you know

You gotta take what you can get

[late osprey]

yeah thats altered carbon

[crisp heath]

I gotta dip before I spoil everything

[opaque coyote]

If you're going to die.

You might as well die with a bang

[arctic talon]

Lol

[plush mason]

thats a form of death tbch

[arctic talon]

Which is why I say V dies in that ending

Their body dies

[late osprey]

honestly going with Hanako with Takemura as your best friend is NOT a horrible ending at all in the grand scheme

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[late osprey]

takemura is a loyal bro

[arctic talon]

It’s def not the worst lol

[opaque coyote]

And also it's implied that soulkilling somebody technically isn't you.

It's a shitty copy essentially

[arctic talon]

No

[late osprey]

he wont let you get screwed over

[arctic talon]

It’s an exact copy

[opaque coyote]

Say that to Johnny

[arctic talon]

Jackie was fucked up because he was braindead

Same with johnny lol

[opaque coyote]

Then again he got his memories tampered with

Like actively

[late osprey]

the chip specifically with johnny was also compromised

[arctic talon]

You’re supposed to soulkill someone while they’re alive

[late osprey]

by like a >0 amount

[opaque coyote]

Also he's a narcissist so

[arctic talon]

Yeah

The chip got corrupfed

You’re supposed to soul kill a living person

Johnny was mostly dead

[plush mason]

the chip is a copy of the main engram

[arctic talon]

When he got soulkilled

[opaque coyote]

Is it weird that I think that Jackie was actually trying to say something but couldn't because he could only repeat previous lines

[arctic talon]

Jackie was actually just dead

[plush mason]

so its a copy of a copy

[late osprey]

if brains in cyberpunk are anywhere near as complex as IRL

[arctic talon]

Probably the last neurons firing off in his head

[late osprey]

0.01% corruption could drastically alter someone

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[opaque coyote]

Maybe.

Or maybe it really is him. Just severely brain damaged

[arctic talon]

Well

[opaque coyote]

Incapable of communicating what he truly wants to

...

[late osprey]

i like to believe more than anything its the corruption from the heist

[arctic talon]

In any case getting soulkilled is immortality lol

[opaque coyote]

Either way it doesn't really matter

[arctic talon]

Imo it was because they used it on a dead body

After god knows how long

[opaque coyote]

I had the idea that Rebecca was soulkilled

But similar to Johnny and Jackie she would be...

Not all there

Suffering is my passion

[arctic talon]

Tbf Johnny is pretty intact personality wise

Lol

[plush mason]

Jackie gets soulkilled?

[arctic talon]

If you send him to vik’s

His corpse gets soulkilled

And Arasaka tries interrogating the engram

[opaque coyote]

It's an option when he dies.

Personally I chose to send his body to his family.

Letting him rest.

[plush mason]

same

literally in every run lol

[opaque coyote]

Cyberpunk's world takes human life about as seriously as cardboard. Might as well treat your friend with the most care you can.

That's all you can do in general.

[arctic talon]

I sent him to vik in my selfish massive ego Corpo run lol

[opaque coyote]

Roleplaying fr

[arctic talon]

My medtech crippling enemies on purpose in combat

[opaque coyote]

This sounds weird but I hope that whatever the protagonist for the sequel game is... is just completely voiceless.

[arctic talon]

It’s a secret to help us later

(Organ harvesting)

[opaque coyote]

So that it allows more decisions in terms of morality

[arctic talon]

Nah

[opaque coyote]

And such

[arctic talon]

V is fine imo

I just wish the versions of V were different

[late osprey]

me as fuck in my cyberpunk game

[arctic talon]

Corpo/nomad/street kid should have big changes

[arctic talon]

Holy based

I should use this dude without the racism

As a Solo

Or a Corpo death squad dude

[late osprey]

literally thats my table's concept

[opaque coyote]

To be honest

I like fem V the most in terms of voice acting and emotion.

Male V is fine but I think Female V has more emotion

[arctic talon]

Based

[late osprey]

we're under the employ of a Chinese megacorp in night city

we call 'em Rats

[arctic talon]

Which one

[opaque coyote]

Ironically the opposite for Fallout 4 though. I like Nate over Nora in terms of voice acting

[arctic talon]

Kang Tao or

Fuck I forgot

[late osprey]

its a homebrew one

[arctic talon]

Ah

[opaque coyote]

Neat

[arctic talon]

Very fun

[opaque coyote]

What'dya call em

[plush mason]

one of these days i will finish a run of 2077, i have told my self since i bought it lol

[opaque coyote]

Also isn't Hong Kong like

A safe haven for the non-"I WANT TO DISASSEMBLE YOUR BRAIN" AI?

[arctic talon]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/discoelysium_gamepedia_en/images/f/f1/Portrait_ruud.png/revision/latest?cb=20191028100340

My GOAT terrifying final boss

[late osprey]

Chi Tu.

"Among men, Lu Bu. Among security consultants, Chi Tu."

[arctic talon]

Ruud genuinely makes me feel dread lol

Genuinely a terrifying character in disco elysium

[vagrant fox]

Man I really should find a cyberpunk ttrpg game

[opaque coyote]

I also thought about making a character use a crossbow

Apparently you can use crossbows in RED

And of course

They're made by a corpo

[plush mason]

what isnt

[arctic talon]

Uh

Pipe bomb

[opaque coyote]

But yeah had an idea of basically

Don Quixote... but in Cyberpunk

"I SHALL BEGIN TO FIGHT THIS GIANT!"

swings sword at Corpo building

[arctic talon]

I do love how you can avoid violence the entire game

For disco elysium

Aside from the tribunal

[late osprey]

yeah, which seems to be default for those who are genuinely trying to play police

[opaque coyote]

corpos just look at the guy swinging a sword at the glass, doing nothing because it's the most interesting thing that has happened in their miserable lives

[late osprey]

if you're a Tech you can make your own shit

so either play a Tech or have a buddy play a Tech and make your shit for you

[arctic talon]

Tbh the tribunal

Honestly can only be solved with violence

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I was thinking of him being a Borg.

His Don Quixote style insanity is basically a form of Cyberpsychosis LMAO

I also thought about him literally using like

A claymore

Like an antique looking claymore

[late osprey]

unfortunately theres a degree of literal unplayability with cyberpsychosis

at least with cyberpunk RED

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[opaque coyote]

Disappointing

[arctic talon]

With 2020 as well

[late osprey]

which i ran into with trying to make Kortenaer a borg

[arctic talon]

Cyberpsychosis is an

Avoid at all cost

Thing

[late osprey]

i ironically had to give him a shitload of humanity

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[vagrant fox]

The Disco tribunal really only ends in a few bad ways

[opaque coyote]

I guess he's just

Regular insane then

Sad

[arctic talon]

People are going to die

[late osprey]

well so like

[arctic talon]

Regardless

[late osprey]

cyberpsychoci manifests with low humanity

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[late osprey]

but its if you're at literal 0 humanity you can't play anymore

[arctic talon]

Well you can “play”

[late osprey]

so you can be an ordinary cyberpsycho. i think my character (codenamed TRENCHCOAT) has like

2 humanity left

[arctic talon]

Lol

[late osprey]

out of a starting max of 70

[arctic talon]

Goes hard

[opaque coyote]

I could manage to make it like a patience meter type thing?

Like his Cyberpsychosis already manifesting but it's only as the Don Quixote type thing.

But as he goes further down, he becomes the typical Cyberpsycho

Just much louder

[arctic talon]

Honestly just have them always be that way flavor wise

[late osprey]

its cuz he rants about the Worms Feeding On the Carcass Of Humanity like Not Important all the time so all the other squaddies think he's fucking weird

[vagrant fox]

Is it like the Deathwatch high insanity where you're just an u reliable liability to your team who can only really kill

[opaque coyote]

"MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT"

All I can say is

[arctic talon]

No, that’s low humanity

0 humanity is like

You will just lose control randomly

Lol

[late osprey]

0 humanity is when you become a gibbering freak

[opaque coyote]

"After one day of working at Retail"

[arctic talon]

And the GM takes control

[late osprey]

low humanity you just act wacky and insane

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[late osprey]

but in the metal kind

not the joker kind

[vagrant fox]

Ah more flesh tearer high insanity where you just frenzy

[late osprey]

death company is the best comparison

since they're likewise basically uncontrollable

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/MmOjOCK6Dnw?si=mBk7j_6OG2I292Vg

[late osprey]

yeah EXACTLY lmfao

we all call him Not Important

and this is Trenchcoat's whole vibe

[vagrant fox]

It could be interesting if handled properly but I don't think it usually will be

[late osprey]

he gets shit on by the other squaddies

"dude just shut the fuck up"

[opaque coyote]

Me after one day working in Walmart

"I have no enemies" mfs after one small inconvenience.

When your Little Caesar's pizza is not Hot n' Ready

Etc.

Also

[late osprey]

Left on read by the first match on bumble.

[opaque coyote]

@late osprey https://youtu.be/bFLBEjSSwnw?si=zYa4nAAiw__WMx-9

[late osprey]

@opaque coyote did you know the devs of hatred also call him Not Important?

https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Not_Important

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I never understood why people were so mad about the game

Mainly because

It's so fucking stupid

I cannot take it seriously

I don't think that was the dev's intention tbh

But

My god it is so edgy it loops back around to being funny

[late osprey]

no they dont give a fuck either lmfao

its hilarious

What the fuck with Naughttam Portante's problem?

[opaque coyote]

Game itself is mid though unfortunately

[late osprey]

i actually like their other game Ancestor's Legacy

[opaque coyote]

[rose thorn]

i think som people need a new hobby

[dapper gyro]

Why...

[hallow basin]

Creative spirits yearn for release

[arctic talon]

crazy

[crisp heath]

Always makes me wonder about people when you see things like this

Why's everything have to be so sexual these days

[tough haven]

CHAOS FILTH!

[crisp heath]

He's just a lil guy

[tough haven]

Oh no, you aren’t “I’m just a little guy” your way out of this one

[queen laurel]

yeah the perfect size to be crushed beneath my foot

[tough haven]

You killed, beheaded and shit on a whole colony, there’s no excuse

This is the third time this month

[crisp heath]

I was mainly just appreciating the model quality hahah

I think he's a nurgling lord or that's why the made him so tall w the skulls

[arctic talon]

I hate I know where the nurgling + skulls are from lol

[crisp heath]

Isn't it from a skull kit or parts of it are

Like these are all for decorating bases

[arctic talon]

the skulls are from the skulls kit yeah lol

the Nurgling is from the plague marine champion

[queen laurel]

why it seems like a very basic thing to know if you're into warhammer

[crisp heath]

Haha that's pretty cool

Cheapest chaos lord ever most likely

[crisp heath]

He's a sassy guy

[median star]

why do death guard always have that rounded belly armor

[arctic talon]

Some MK3 patterns had that

also they're bloated corpses

[bold veldt]

…why not🤷🏻‍♂️

[tough haven]

Take some pepto, smh…

[arctic talon]

Also not all deathguard have it tbf

There's plenty in artwork or lore that don't

[bold veldt]

its just one of those things

[arctic talon]

Take these nerds for example

[crisp heath]

Does later mks ever wind up in the death gaurd ?

[bold veldt]

eventually

raiding and such

[crisp heath]

Ahh

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[bold veldt]

every legion except maybe the thousand sons eventually take some pieces from different marks

or the luna wolves

[arctic talon]

Deathguards most common MKs during the heresy were MK3, 5 and 4

4 was extremely valuble and only really among veterans/sgts

The deathguards tactics made them burn thorugh a lot of their good armor which left MK4 as a rarity

[bold veldt]

with the deathguard i imagine they stick mainly with the armor theyve had since the heresy

in modern that is

[arctic talon]

newer armor gets introduced to the deathguard either via forging or new "recruits"

yeah

most deathguard are too mutated to remove their armor

[bold veldt]

its apart of them

[arctic talon]

Thousand Sons marines are mostly in MKIV and MKII

[bold veldt]

literally

bonded

[arctic talon]

though a few had MKVI and V

But they never got the big shipments of MKIV the other traitors did

since they were "neutral" effectively

[bold veldt]

the most ive seen of the scavenging would be night lords, but thats one of their shticks

[arctic talon]

Nightlords have a huge MK2 and MK5 bias

MK6 was a favorite but they barely had any

and any they had was usually grabbed by officers/higher ranking nightlords lol

[bold veldt]

ive seen a lot of Mk IV

[arctic talon]

yeah

[bold veldt]

for nightlords

[median star]

whats bro reading

[arctic talon]

MKIV is def the more common one in depictions nowadays

[bold veldt]

but Mk IV eventually becomes Mk V anyways

[arctic talon]

but they were horrendously undersupplied

compared to the other traitor legions at the start of the heresy

[bold veldt]

the night lords were scavenging almost day one

[arctic talon]

Unsure if Horus hated them or if it was just a case of logistics not being fast enough

lol

[bold veldt]

Thramas crusade

[arctic talon]

But they did get the MK4 armor they were supposed to get eventually

[bold veldt]

its Curze.. who didnt

[arctic talon]

which is ironic

because that meant they had a lot of working sets of MK4

when everyone else was stuck in fucking MK5 or production MK5 lol

[bold veldt]

one thing im confused on about the Mk II

ive seen accounts where their helmets couldnt turn..? and others where they could

[arctic talon]

modern GW lore says it can

old lore says it can't

modern lore and depictions take precedent

imo

[bold veldt]

ill take that

Mk II is definitely my fav, Iron armor just has too much aura

[arctic talon]

Iron armor is Mk3

MK2 is crusade pattern

[bold veldt]

..you are right

[median star]

also i think the emperor wouldve had the foresight to tell hmm maybe my super duper space soldier need to be able to turn their heads

[bold veldt]

the emperor didnt have the foresight to stop his favored son from being taken over by the chaos gods

lets give him some benefit of the doubt

[median star]

some theories say its exactly the reason he was made war master is because he wanted him out

[arctic talon]

also for an example of turnable heads literally the minis lol

[bold veldt]

also his response to his very religious sons was to burn his favored city down to ash

[arctic talon]

ngl I prefer old Mk3's helmet over the current Mk3 one

now granted they're 2 dif patterns in universe

[bold veldt]

and make him and his entire legion kneel in it

[arctic talon]

but still the old MK3 looked better imo

[bold veldt]

my favorite piece of lore on horus becoming warmaster is some(Aeonid) thinking it was because Guilliman was just better, and had his own small empire already without needing the warmaster title

[median star]

i think it also couldve been he knew who ever was made war master was destined to fall and it was made horus as he thought maybe he was the only one he thought had a chance at being able to fight it

[bold veldt]

he sure did fight it

by being edgy and saying he could make his own decisions

and thats ironic when he actually just instantly gave up free will

[arctic talon]

Curze is

such a fucking dork lol

[median star]

i think ferrus couldve made a better warmaster granted not nearly aswell in the diplomatic sense

same could be said for lion who wouldve had a better chance at not being corrupted aswell i think

[bold veldt]

i actually love the nightlords, fav traitor legion

totally not biased in having read Shadows of Treachery and Night Lords

[median star]

i love nightlord but curze is still a chud

[bold veldt]

he is.. something

[median star]

you dont understand i have to let this assassin kill me or or or that means... i had a choice

chud ass primarch

[bold veldt]

you dont understand i must let the assassin kill me to get vengeance on my father…

mf did NOT have to do that

maybe if he didnt have to hear human screams 24/7 in his office he wouldve had some sanity

or beat and torture his brothers to near death

[median star]

curze had potential to be one of the most powerful primarchs if only he realized he was the maker of his own destiny

[bold veldt]

“You chose the easy way.”
-Sevatar

[median star]

didnt sevatar go missing before curze basically killed himself

[bold veldt]

honestly predicting a brothers death, and then looking at the primarch next to him and witnessing him kill the former is something else

on first impressions no less

[bold veldt]

..yes..?

[median star]

did curze ever have any visions on what would happen after his death

[bold veldt]

uhm

i think he said how he saw how the imperium would be in the 40th millennium

but of course if he saw all of the future he’d have a different outlook

again with the “maker of your own destiny@

Curze dug his own grave by believing the dreams

same with sangy

and sangy knew that

still he was content

he felt that was the best outcome

[winter pine]

big support to Curze for making some of the most villainous bastards in 40k

[opaque coyote]

So this is unrelated to anything but it's funny as shit so fuck it

Elon Musk tried to stream Path of Exile 2

He spent of most of it trying to block people constantly spamming him

Then actually tried to play

Died to the tutorial boss

And then claimed that he has a spotty connection despite it being perfect the entire time

And then ended the livestream

What an actual fucking loser

[scenic bolt]

didnt even know you could block chat

[opaque coyote]

And also my favorite frame of them all

[shadow plover]

Best part of this is the fact that he has claimed to be among the top 10 players of poe

The account he owns does somewhat reflect that what I've heard but it is so obvious that he is paying someone to play on his behalf for the bragging rights

[winter vessel]

i don't care much for his gaming life, waste of energy tbh

anyways, been rewatching Dune Part 2 this evening, still phenomenal as always

[shadow plover]

Hell yeah

[outer wave]

Apparently during that stream from the screenshot, he died to the tutorial boss and he ended the stream shortly after

[winter vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/harkonnen-soldiers-unit-climb-harkonnen-fly-dune-2-dune-part-2-gif-13399244664667062691 but i never realized how these Harkonnens look like they sniffed a cartoon pie when they start ascending

[shadow plover]

He's a hack, nothing new about that after all

[shadow plover]

Flies gathering to a carcass more like

https://youtu.be/0qj67KE5VXI?si=ysNxJjYBabME_hCE someone overlapped the original audio with this High School Musical song for this one scene, i saw it on Insta. wish i saved it

and the Arena on Geidi Prime, ugh. Still one of the coolest set pieces i've seen sci fi

[arctic talon]

Goes hard, the whole black and white stuff is so cool

The cherry on top was the delivery from the Announcer and hyping up Feyd Rautha.

that voice in an IMAX theater was stimulating

making kaiju more realistic? ❌

making new kaiju return to showa era? ✅

i fucking love the muto's stubby arms lmao

I can imagine a scientist character on the side rn

doing classic exposition

"T-the MUTO, it used it's EMP laser to disable Gojira's atomic breath!"

[sleek dagger]

Why tanks in wh40K are named as Leman Russ? Others are then Rhino and something else

Are those tanks tied to Cadia or over all Astra Militarum?

[queen laurel]

if you're talking about the main battle tank of the imperium

[sleek dagger]

Yea the one with big dick barrel

[opaque coyote]

"Hey we found a tank STC what should we name it?"

"I don't know, should we ask Leman Ru-"

"That's perfect!"

At least name it the Allfather or something

Damn thats a extensive wiki page for one tank

[storm jungle]

We are talking about 30 years of lore here

thats also the shortened version

[shadow plover]

It's the tank of 40k

[storm jungle]

^

Its also all the information you actually need

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Leman_Russ_Battle_Tank

You can also try reading this mess of a page

(please dont)

[celest dome]

And also the main tank used

[sleek dagger]

I hope one day Dice will get smart and give us battlefield styled wh40k game with imperium troops

[celest dome]

Baneblade are more 'famous', but less used

[arctic talon]

Baneblades $$$$

[celest dome]

Battlefield 1 but based on Scythe could be cool

The issue with major games + GW is that GW kinda suck to work with, and is expensive

[arctic talon]

Any sort of battlefield game would be really asymmetrical

Aside from guard vs traitor guard

(Imo)

[celest dome]

I'd probably be just those 2 factions imo (Or Battlefront)

[sleek dagger]

Just put good maps and mayhem, it pays back

[celest dome]

Rising Storm could work, as their factions are more varied and being able to have different mechanics and weapons

[arctic talon]

I don’t think people would have fun even for near peer stuff personally

Like tau vs guard

Since their weapons are pretty different

[storm jungle]

^

Like

[arctic talon]

And if they want to be anal about lore tau body armor is much better

[storm jungle]

the best part of 40k games made by fans is it goes to show how unbalanced actual combat between factions woul dbe

[arctic talon]

Tbh

Even official games

[storm jungle]

like the Imperium forces would get decimated most of the time when you are fighting Tau or Eldar

[arctic talon]

Dawn of war 1

[storm jungle]

since all they do is like

1 shot tank

[arctic talon]

Mfw

Fire and fade

[storm jungle]

stealth escape

[arctic talon]

Fire and fade

[storm jungle]

YEP

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Fire and fade

Also relevant on the tabletop

LOL

[storm jungle]

its great because it kinda goes to show how badly Imperium books need plot armor

[arctic talon]

Sometimes numbers do the trick

Other times nah

Lol

But yeah fire and fade is funny

The only imperial factions that really do it are regimental stormtroopers, space marines and uhhh

[storm jungle]

its almost like this is what you get when your entire faction uses WW2 tactics compared to a tank with a railgun on it that can shoot you from a kilometer away

[arctic talon]

Some mechanicus forces, I guess

[shadow plover]

Speaking of funny

[storm jungle]

BLACK OPS 2 LETS GO

[storm jungle]

Shut the fuck up

[shadow plover]

😔 😔

[storm jungle]

Cod went downhill ironically after this game which is even funnier

bro is stuck in Cod2

[shadow plover]

after 4 you mean

[storm jungle]

Nah

black ops 1 and 2 were universally praised

what rock are you living under

💀

[shadow plover]

if you were like 11

[storm jungle]

...

so like

everyone?

[shadow plover]

smh

[storm jungle]

but yeah they are great games

id say "even if it makes the CIA look heroic" but

thats literally every cod game

so

LOL

[shadow plover]

peepeepoopoo ass games

[storm jungle]

guh

[arctic talon]

Tbh with the size of battlefield maps, the performance of the manta and leman russ at murdering each other shouldn’t be too different

Now if they get bigger

[storm jungle]

:)))

also my favorite showcase of

"Why dont tau just spam sniper drones"

would become a reality

LOL

[shadow plover]

just have a titan mode but the titans are actual titans

there, I just fixed the stupid battlefield but 40k idea for you

[storm jungle]

no you didnt

you made it worse

get this rogue intern out of my office

[shadow plover]

titan mode is literally THE greatest game mode put into an fps

[arctic talon]

They do (when they can)

Tau drones in books being randomly dogshit at their job

[storm jungle]

You mean when "the plot allows"

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

YEP

lmao

My face when actual war is kinda scary and equally boring.

[arctic talon]

Ngl it was a mistake to make a drone as accurate as a fire warrior lore wise

[arctic talon]

I like the pathfinders shooting the shit in elemental council

Before you know

the incident

[storm jungle]

💀

Guh-

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside I think lore wise drones should be inferior accuracy wise

The upside being

500 pulsecarbine drones

[storm jungle]

Thats kinda the issue being you make an arguably technologically superior faction

like-

[arctic talon]

I prefer drone horde aesthetically

Tbh

Over few accurate drones

[storm jungle]

This is 90% of the time how a fight would go with drones

[arctic talon]

Oh hey

Is that killteam lol

[storm jungle]

aka you getting blasted without knowing what even happened

also yep

this KT book has like

[arctic talon]

Accurate

[storm jungle]

some fucking hilarious illustrations

[arctic talon]

To playing against pathfinders lol

That team is so funny

[storm jungle]

This is my favorite

SHE GETS FUCKING ANNIHILATED

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Also the Tau team won lmao

And then they got smoked

In the KT3e trailer

[storm jungle]

No wonder tbh

like again

[arctic talon]

Rip pathfinders

[storm jungle]

lego yoda death scream.mp3

[arctic talon]

lol

Shame pathfinders are so bad in the new edition

[storm jungle]

No fun allowed.

nerf all killteams

🙏

[arctic talon]

Nah

That was their job

Last edition

Making everyone want to kill themselves

But yeah the pathfinders drones are funny

Big fan

AAAA-

[arctic talon]

Mfw I watch a marine instantly explode

And then 2 tau ops explode

Back to back

Oh also the bowling banshee exarch is hilarious in KT rn

She kills literally anything on the charge if she has the executioner

[queen laurel]

the guardsman after the flash git clicks the trigger one time

[tough haven]

Maybe I should play kill team

40K is fun, but it can be overwhelming sometimes, and god damn is it hard to enjoy if you play non standard builds

Cause you’ll just get stomped by some metamancer

I imagine it’s different with friends

Kill team also might not take literally 3 hours

[queen laurel]

it's a skirmish game so it's way more beginner friendly than 40K

and you can just grab a single team and then be good really

[tough haven]

I still like the idea of playing 40K but I just don’t have the time anymore, I have other games I’d rather play lol

[tough haven]

Anyone got any good excerpts I could show to someone to explain what being a psyker is like day to day? The good and the bad

I have ideas but nothing concrete

[vagrant fox]

This first one goes into a lot of detail about the training
https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/1aona4z/excerptsspoilers_witchbringer_details_on_psyker/

This second one goes in a bit on being suspicious of them

I’ve only known him for a couple months but if anything happened to Abelard I’d kill everyone on this Vox ship and then sink it.

I should do a run where I don't shoot Idira for causing problems

[celest dome]

Big top burger is so great

should watch it again

[south gorge]

Shoutout to RT for having such a robust colourblind system

It made me realize i have like a bit of red colourblindness

Like the username in dt is a bit orange to me.

[vagrant fox]

Chris Fleming nails it as Cesare, every single scene

[south gorge]

Right? And he’s like so low key about it too.

His self-assuredness makes the character for me.

They are literally the first two bosses you have as a line cook.

[vagrant fox]

People discover colour-blindedness in the wackiest ways, I had someone in my Destiny 2 clan discover it from when someone brought up a random flag colour iirc

When I worked as a line cook I'm sure in the past my boss would've exploited orphans and crushed them for fuel

[south gorge]

But in more of a pragmatic way and less of a heinous way.

He just wants to make slightly more than minimum wage no matter the cost to human life.

Even if it’s turning baby’s back into fry batter.

[vagrant fox]

Nah he was a heinous man ruled by a more heinous woman, he regularly employed underage kids to pay them less

also didn't pay an employee for 6 months

[south gorge]

And then Steve asks you to bum a cigarette before telling you about his time as the sole hero of the Hawaii war and how he single-handedly rode a nuke into the sun to stop an alien incursion.

[vagrant fox]

Well he did annihilate the dinosaurs

[south gorge]

Dinosaur(s) plural.

Cretaceous

Mesozoic

Jurassic

And CEO.

Me watching the Steve comet end the cycle.

[queen laurel]

age of sigmar Kruleboyz

Monster Killaz

[celest dome]

The paint job really make them pop

[queen laurel]

yes it does

[rose thorn]

my favorite warcry warband

and they filled a slot missing in the lore too

its great

oh hey darkaoth won a gt

this was like 2 months ago

[rocky gale]

Darkoath?

looks inside Belakor and Varanguard

[rose thorn]

but im just scorllign through winnig lists for inspriation

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

Darkoath but their main leader are the slaves of darkness

Sounds just like chaos making norsca look bad again

history does repeat itself

[rose thorn]

to be fair its very lore accurate

[rocky gale]

Yea like three quarters of the pt cost is Belakor, chosen and varanguard

[rose thorn]

he beat THE winning FEC list

monster killer units feel weird

they can win you games or be the key reason you lost

seems like they so well because veeryone in the GT except the s2d guy had mosnte rheavy lists

[spare osprey]

RED CORSAIRS

COME ON RICH

Fuck

[vagrant fox]

Executioners

[crisp heath]

Nork Deddog dragged a Chimaera twenty yards out of a ditch to Colonel Greiss when the latter was injured. There was a medkit inside the Chimaera but Nork was too scared to go inside, so he brought the entire thing to his commanding officer instead.

Chimera weighs 38 tonnes ?

Is this true?

[queen laurel]

yes it is

but it was also damaged

so who knows it might have lost some weight

[dapper gyro]

Old lore mixed with new ones, many numbers don't make sense.

[queen laurel]

yeah that too

but ogryns have shown hilarious showmanships of strength in lore but that's probably their best showmanship of it

[dapper gyro]

At 38 tons, no wonder why people theorized that Russ tank used to be light tank.

[vagrant fox]

Russ is 60ish tons

[queen laurel]

that's Chimera

leman russ weighs 60

this is the one nork dragged

[vagrant fox]

We have strongmen dragging trucks so it's plausible with how ogryns are

[queen laurel]

yeah they are like physically speaking the strongest inhabitants of the imperium

[dapper gyro]

LOL, the engine name is literally the Panther and Tiger I german tanks during WW2.

[rose thorn]

Epic wrap battles of history

[dapper gyro]

But yeah, I mis-remembered the tank pattern.

[queen laurel]

my best friend vs the local crack uncle

[rose thorn]

whos who

[queen laurel]

the goblin is my best friend and the crack uncle is well

kind of obvious

[rose thorn]

lmao

im so so so hype for the ogor refesh

even if they keep the old basic units

are teh stonehorns old?

[queen laurel]

kind of

it's from fantasy but it's one of those that hold up still

[rose thorn]

if it replaces all of their old animals, man eaters, butchers, icebrow hunter, and a named character id be happy

i know noblars are piss old too but they look fine

[queen laurel]

It's from 8th edition warhammer fantasy

so it's relatively speaking one of the newer ones for old fantasy

[rose thorn]

oh yeah they are fine then

the gluttons are like

7th?

6th?

Lead belchers too

[queen laurel]

yeah those guys used to be ogre bulls

they are 6th edition i think

[rose thorn]

relooking at the ogor range mentally reparing for the refresh
ogors have aged quite well

[queen laurel]

yeah they have hold up

if they are showing their age but like it's not really hard to ask much for how an ogre would look

it's a bloody ogre they don't really go to fashion salons

[rose thorn]

mainly thinking about the spearhead i kinda want it but id ont want it to die in the water because the new models look so good

but htey also got a new spearhead

and that feels like a sign saying that those models wont be touched

[queen laurel]

yeah that's true

[rose thorn]

or they are dumping old back stock

these feel ugly on purpose. which helps it no look like ass

[queen laurel]

yeah again, it's very much in line with how they look in lore

unkept greasy giant balls of muscle that eat meat

[rose thorn]

if the refresh replaces everything
then i might still get the old spear heads
assuming the new kits arent hell i imagine they will ktibash into each other well

[rose thorn]

alot of the posing here is pretty bad though lmao

[queen laurel]

i hope to god gives them a legendary lord

bro

[rose thorn]

they have to

[queen laurel]

they need one

[rose thorn]

AT LEAST they will be getting a named characetr and dnelss spells

[queen laurel]

yeah endless spell seems to be the big selling point right now

[rose thorn]

yeah next ediiton will be revolutionary

this edition they are filling out whats missing in all the rosters

[rose thorn]

teh posing on these is quite ass though

[queen laurel]

i can't wait to see what they cooked up for the next ed, because literally multiple times in a.... realm is getting kicked by the enemy

the necro quake happened, they fixed that but then the Era of the beast happened, and now the great horned rat ascended and became a main player in the great game

[outer wave]

Yeah they look stiff and scrunched up

[queen laurel]

they need to give order some wins

because right now they are getting absolutely slammed 3 editions in a row

[rose thorn]

luckily they are so puffy you acn just throw on a slab of green stuff to repose it

oh gluttonsare in monopose hell too

know what they probably shoudl get replaced

lmao

id sitll get them if the new kti came wtih alot of extra arms

[queen laurel]

Honestly yeah I wouldn't mind the less fancy members of the army get refreshed

because a lot of their show stopper units hold up pretty well

[rose thorn]

omg

thier musician

whats funneir him screaming or singing

[crisp heath]

Man I'm drink af

Had like 14 hienys

Yeah boyyyy

That’s shandy weather today

No worry my orgryn, there is always next time.

[rose thorn]

We just talked about how much the ogors need a refresh

[summer mural]

aos has ogors

still havent looked into em

less time nowadays tbh

[rose thorn]

It’s the same kits form old world

They are getting a major refresh this edition

[wintry scarab]

What do you think the chances are that darktide gets some sort of customization update/rework? (i know that the chances are basically none considering everything but i can still hope)

[summer mural]

oh nice

I literally get all my important aos news from mag

[celest dome]

Like cosmetics ?

[wintry scarab]

yeah

[celest dome]

None

It's dead and buried

[wintry scarab]

😦

In a perfect world, id be happy with just colour customization or something. Sucks 😦

[celest dome]

Dead too, they sell recolours

[wintry scarab]

yeah, i know

spitting into the void, but as a bit of a compromise to the shady MTX, i wish they did this: Buy/unlock an armour with a "default" colour scheme, then through achievements and the cosmetic store (not the mtx one) you would be able to unlock recolours of those cosmetics.

Would give people like me a big reason to grind for stuff as well.

a guy can wish

[late osprey]

we've been waiting for scion armor for 20 years

[summer mural]

oh scion armors not a thing still?

[celest dome]

Just the helmet

[summer mural]

i havent played dt in a hot minute, but people were speculating about it coming the next day everyday lol

[late osprey]

yeah it'd been 5 decades, faith has been lost

[summer mural]

dont let guilliman hear you

[wintry scarab]

Well i mean you got the helemt. Just not the right colour lol. So get ready to have to buy it again if youve already bought the blue one

actually iirc, it was green not blue

[dapper gyro]

Which unit or regiment of Scion though?

Because they each have a different colour pattern.

Unless you just want to be the poster boy.

[queen laurel]

https://youtu.be/eWzPKrNoSyM?si=6lrX0hWNszsdV3lo

ok

i like this

this looks fire

[storm jungle]

Finally, some historical slop predator content

[queen laurel]

this is from the director of prey

so i have pretty high hopes

[storm jungle]

based

[queen laurel]

also have you watched the trailer

Jesus Christ Yautja get massive

[storm jungle]

yeah I did, he looked pretty hot

[queen laurel]

why did i expect anything else

you know what i'm not even gonna stop you go ahead

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/cope-mald-warhammer-40k-gangnam-style-space-marine-gif-8246058212714888499

[summer mural]

wasnt there a prey sequel supposed to come out

called prey the wasteland

[barren prawn]

maaan this entire IP just makes me wish we got a prometheus without the xenos

[summer mural]

because as a huge fan of the original predator I loved prey and hate all the predator movies after the first

[storm jungle]

Predator 2 is fun

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/arnold-schwarzenegger-torch-victory-mud-gif-26707508

[storm jungle]

so is Predators

[summer mural]

but this

the peak

[storm jungle]

anything yeah

[summer mural]

ARNIE

just look at that subtle method acting

honed over years of fine facial emoting

also predator 1 has great music

[storm jungle]

its repeated in this trailer

thats how good it is

[plush mason]

that looks like a beserker

[summer mural]

a predator set in feudal japan

thats so

SICK

~~ and unbelievably cliche~~

[plush mason]

yeah the viking one is also neat

[queen laurel]

yeah no crap nameless

calling this guy anything other than a berserker is gonna be an insult

[plush mason]

because the Yautja hate the cold so one that is able to hunt in the frozen north has to be strong

[plush mason]

that is their canon name, they are mutants and hunt other Yautja

[queen laurel]

yeah but it also like refers to that one predator game of the body type

Berzerkers are very large

[plush mason]

yeah thats where it comes from, they where first shown in the Predators movie

[queen laurel]

and more aggressive

[plush mason]

yup

[queen laurel]

Yeah but look at this guy

he looks like he can fight an ork nob to a standstill

[plush mason]

yeah he is one big beserker

he also seems to be missing a hand

[queen laurel]

yeah that one is from a different era this one doesn't have a missing hand

but what kind of berserkers are these

they are like way bigger than

average

even by berserker standards

[summer mural]

tbh

those berserkers with the camo/invisibility would be crazy
