[languid meadow]

I will be posting this again when they get their AoS reveal you have been warned

[queen laurel]

My age of wonder civilization

[rose thorn]

i really really like them

[summer mural]

so

dragons?

[late osprey]

reavers?

[rose thorn]

no

giant lizards

[queen laurel]

Yes

[late osprey]

my man

[queen laurel]

Nothing better than the sounds of industry

[celest dome]

Objectively the worst lizard miniature

[arctic talon]

Least awful forgeworld

https://youtu.be/NUO9gIl50W8?si=cgSIPmHXGVndS-4H

[rose thorn]

i am actually, excited for the blades of khorne rlease

[storm jungle]

That breaktime scene is too real.

"BACK TO WORK"

[rose thorn]

its ltiearlly the oldest faction in aos

[celest dome]

Oh shit really

[late osprey]

my first instinct with the new update was Giant King leading Orcs

get 'em the supergrowth too

[rose thorn]

"whatever. go my foot hero"

https://tenor.com/view/scarab-beetle-flying-go-my-scarab-gif-1372646788661438174

i am prepared but im hoping

[queen laurel]

I got four and decided to make orcs that are reavers and are led by a dragon

[rose thorn]

i want khrone to get more hell machiens

[queen laurel]

Karaghol the world breaker

[late osprey]

wish reavers werent so aggressively conquistador but otherwise reavers are so badass

[queen laurel]

That's what i called him

[languid meadow]

We should keep feeding orks troll flesh until they all end up like Grom

[late osprey]

i just have normal barbs for orcs

[celest dome]

Goblins

[languid meadow]

Some will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make

[queen laurel]

That's too basic for me

I already have iron jaws

[languid meadow]

We've seen what happens to goblins

[rose thorn]

i want aos to use the lord of skulls

please gw

[queen laurel]

So let me do sauron this time

[languid meadow]

I want to see what happens to orks if it works

[rose thorn]

please give me a reaosn to buy lord of skulls

[queen laurel]

It's too sci-fi i think

But if they can find a way to make it look more you know fleshy

[storm jungle]

it looks dumb

buy it

[languid meadow]

Grom squared

[rose thorn]

the pigs are robots

[queen laurel]

I can make it warm

[late osprey]

well they use soul grinders

to my knoweldge

[rose thorn]

yeah but what would i run it as

you cant evne bring it in knights anymore

[late osprey]

archaon

[queen laurel]

Run it as skarbrand

[late osprey]

looks like itd be the same model size

[rose thorn]

youc ant bring archaon in chaos armies anymore, for osme reason

[arctic talon]

Lol

[rose thorn]

i relaly think its a mistake

[celest dome]

They could work if you look at the stuff the Cities of Sigmar have tbh

[late osprey]

LOL

[arctic talon]

COGFORT

[late osprey]

he got fired

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah that is true

[arctic talon]

Only in slaves to darkness

Lol

[rose thorn]

i think he will get a ror next time he has a lroe event

[summer mural]

archaon was told to go on sabbatical

[queen laurel]

They have advanced technology considerably

[late osprey]

"archaon is taking a mental health day."

[queen laurel]

What why

[late osprey]

"go without him"

[summer mural]

" archaon has gone to peel onions"

[queen laurel]

He Is literally the champion of the apocalypse

[rose thorn]

let me check the keyword of his abilties

[queen laurel]

Why the fuck

[late osprey]

well when he asked for a raise the discussion didnt go too well

[queen laurel]

Can't you run his ass

[late osprey]

so he's in between End Times right now

[summer mural]

Archaon The Everchosen : Gone fishin'

[celest dome]

I so hope we get an AoS game on the scope of TW, the setting would finaly be properly utilised

[rose thorn]

oh non of his keywrods even buff guys naymore

[arctic talon]

S2D or bust

[queen laurel]

Jeez

[rose thorn]

all of his bailites are killy stuff

[summer mural]

rosters are too small rn

[late osprey]

honestly

[rose thorn]

i really reall y think they just, forgot

[late osprey]

an AoS MTG block wouldnt be too outrageous

they're thematically quite similar now in fantasy genre

[celest dome]

I mean, compared to what we had in BF ?

[arctic talon]

AoS fit more then 40k

Lol

[late osprey]

and hell, they did it for LoTR

[arctic talon]

Also yeah I think AoS roster would be fine

[rose thorn]

mtg has aos cards

[arctic talon]

In a total war game

[rose thorn]

but its like

reskins

[arctic talon]

People are used to huge rosters

Due to tww3

Imo

[summer mural]

yeah but

[rose thorn]

i want aos tw please :3

[summer mural]

I think ca is one of those people

[arctic talon]

When you really don’t need a huge roster for a good total war game

[late osprey]

i would see there being some fun mechanics around the realmgates

[rose thorn]

please put it in ghyran or something

[late osprey]

or they chicken out and its only one realm at a time

[rose thorn]

pretty please

[queen laurel]

You have to be honest i want total war to have less units

So many god damn choices i forgot to use some of them

[celest dome]

If you listen to the Historical fans you don't need much

[summer mural]

also to be honest, half the reason there are so many units you never use is because ca sell them to you as dlc, you cant do those kinda things with a small roster

[rose thorn]

the rumor is after the tw ww2 game is teh 40k tw game

[arctic talon]

I am a historical fan

[queen laurel]

To be honest if they can somehow fit every single realm

[arctic talon]

I LIKE TOTAL WAR MEDIEVAL 2

[late osprey]

i actually hope not

[rose thorn]

me too

[late osprey]

i think 40k TW would be a massive blunder unless they dramatically overhaul how battles are fought

[rose thorn]

i dont want more nazis to play tw

[languid meadow]

I need a 19th century post Napoleon total war

[summer mural]

they need a new engine for 40k

[arctic talon]

They already do

[celest dome]

I hadn't even heard the WW2 one, just the 40k

[late osprey]

units dont get into block formations in 40k like they do in the TW model

[queen laurel]

Just the average shooting

Would obliterate the total war engine

[spring cairn]

i'm used to reading this right before something insanely racist

[rose thorn]

i heard the ww2 one will test their new shooting engine

[arctic talon]

Wood elf vs skaven

[late osprey]

honestly the best 40k game would be a professional version of the MOWAS2 mod

[summer mural]

they definitely need a new engine for 40k lmao

[arctic talon]

I also like total war shogun and three kingdoms

Lol

[rose thorn]

"hey guys today ill be using my italy melee legendary hero to take over amreica"

[summer mural]

fire at will bug was a thing till last patch

imagine that in 40k

[languid meadow]

Benito Mussolini buffed !!???

[arctic talon]

I’m sad 3 kingdoms got taken out back and executed

[arctic talon]

Massive Hitler and Rosevelt changes

[rose thorn]

fsgdfsfsgbafrgb

[spring cairn]

aside from 3K it still fits

[arctic talon]

Lol

[summer mural]

shogun 2 is one of my fav games of all time

[rose thorn]

i almsot laughed really hard in my anti semtism class

[summer mural]

A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY

[languid meadow]

BIG ZHUKOV REWORK

[spring cairn]

these people just wank themselves on old TW games

[arctic talon]

It’s weird

[celest dome]

Okoi doing a full Nuremberg army fight

[arctic talon]

Lol

[late osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XctJKUCnVc

[rose thorn]

also i heard the new tww3 dlc suck

[spring cairn]

no it's good

[summer mural]

thrones of decay is great

[late osprey]

best 40k rts ive ever played

[arctic talon]

I want a Dawn of war 2 styled rts

For 40k

[languid meadow]

They've been pretty good since thrones

[arctic talon]

Tbh

[spring cairn]

it's Omens of destruction, throne was the one before

[summer mural]

yeah ik

[rose thorn]

I WNAT ONE FOR AOS THAT INST DEAD

[late osprey]

you mean dawn of war 2?

[summer mural]

i specifically meant thrones of decay was great

[rose thorn]

i really really liekd dawn of war 2

[summer mural]

so did I

SO WHOLESOME

CYRUS MY BOY

[languid meadow]

The only one that was midish before change was WoC

[queen laurel]

I love works but i will just say it

[spring cairn]

i think they're all great except shadows of change

[queen laurel]

They did not need that spot in oments of destruction

[celest dome]

Realm of Ruin really picked the most dogshit design choices

[rose thorn]

aos dawn of war 2 woudl be fire

[late osprey]

im playing through the campaign again for DoW2

[rose thorn]

it was bad

[late osprey]

i actually do really like that RPG aspect to it

[rose thorn]

it is okay now

[summer mural]

still havent played realms of ruin, is it that bad

[celest dome]

Very bad

[rose thorn]

but its dead

if they kept supporting the game it would do wonderful

[storm jungle]

Shadows of change was great, the entire community was killing each other

[arctic talon]

I want another one like dow2

[summer mural]

the diablo lite loot is awesome

[rose thorn]

but they have abandoedn every single aos strategy game

[celest dome]

TWW3's dlc choices are baffling

[languid meadow]

What's the third faction gonna be for the next dlc because isn't it slaanesh/high elves

[queen laurel]

Watching you pull out your hair every time they make a choice you don't like is funny

[celest dome]

Each and EVERYONE of them

[summer mural]

dechala is confirmed and one more free slanesh lord, other two are not known yet

[languid meadow]

CA give me the ironskin tribe

[summer mural]

ghark would be nice

[late osprey]

boy i sure cant wait for another monogod roster to get completed!

[celest dome]

LL or LH ?

[late osprey]

boy, i SURE cant wait for WoC to get their endtimes event!

[summer mural]

ll is dechala

[celest dome]

The other one

[spring cairn]

were they ?

[summer mural]

free ll is slaanesh, but not known who( probably masque)

[rose thorn]

god i wann paly some spaerhaed

[storm jungle]

When arent they tbh

[spring cairn]

i only remember everyone calling it shit

[storm jungle]

yeah and fighting

idk man im just here to watch the carnage

maybe ill buy it later

[late osprey]

the content was objectively fine

[languid meadow]

Tbf the monogod rosters were meh at launch and they really needed it, the best chaos faction was undivided

[spring cairn]

i got it on sale

[late osprey]

it was just the cost for what it offered that people were spazzing over

[spring cairn]

it's worth it since they updated it and added content to it

[summer mural]

shadows of change content was not fine at launch, they added more later

its fine now

[storm jungle]

The gooners can never be satisfied

[spring cairn]

still the weakest dlc

[storm jungle]

ten thousand more miao ying gooner mods

[late osprey]

yes but what WAS there was fine, is what i mean to say

[queen laurel]

I love the factions and omens of destruction but like, orcs did not need to be there

[late osprey]

like it wasnt broken or anything

[arctic talon]

Realms of ruin was awful

[languid meadow]

I only got it for Yuan Bo

He's cool

[summer mural]

and all the dlc after shadows of change have way more content launch than it did at launch, so thats telling

[queen laurel]

Gorbad is fucking boring

[summer mural]

i like yuan bo too

[spring cairn]

Yuan Bo is cool but there's also this homeless hag

[late osprey]

i only play the Old World mod for tww3 now

[summer mural]

gorbad is unnecessary

[queen laurel]

Absolute nothing burger of a mechanic

[storm jungle]

who the fuck is yuan bo

is that a new For Honor character

[summer mural]

hes a dwagon

[spring cairn]

Jade dragon

[queen laurel]

I love the guy but my god his mechanics sucks

[summer mural]

hes the emperors mary sue

[storm jungle]

Jade who

[arctic talon]

One of the emperors kids

[storm jungle]

Is this china

[arctic talon]

Yes

[spring cairn]

no it's Cathay

[storm jungle]

Interest deflated.

[spring cairn]

not the same

[storm jungle]

more tarrifs needed

[spring cairn]

Yuan Bo's VA is great

[celest dome]

Still annoyed at the magic lore for Cathay 💀

[storm jungle]

Wood elf hero goes crazy

[late osprey]

yuan bo definitely seems like the coolest of the 3

[spring cairn]

the changeling is actually p fun too

[queen laurel]

It never gets old

[late osprey]

although i dont have SoC yet so i havent test-played him

[languid meadow]

Into the skinning machine

[late osprey]

i kinda skipped it for nuln lmao

[rose thorn]

my aprtner played it and its fine now, a bit reptitive but it has some fun

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spike-machine-meat-grinder-accident-spongebob-gif-973398806513596928

[rose thorn]

it is REALLY PRETTY GAME

[arctic talon]

No it’s still awful

No micro

Bad

[storm jungle]

Buy the slop

Consume the slop

Enjoy the slop

[arctic talon]

If no micro why even bother with an RTS

[celest dome]

No base building 💀

[queen laurel]

I tried that i'm currently in the hospital for food poisoning

[arctic talon]

There is some

But it’s not great

[summer mural]

to put it more accurately, hes the emperors right hand man, his chief administrator, his spymaster, his executioner, his bureaucrat and his diplomat, basically he does all the work,
miao ying goes around threatening people and holding the bastion, zhao is a warpstone sniffing addict who spends his time engaged in fireside revelry with random ogres, li dao is angry because miao ying is popular, yin yin is the airheaded awol chick who got given command of the cathayan fleet and fucked off somewhere

[arctic talon]

Anyways if a game doesn’t have proper micro and macro as an RTS

[languid meadow]

I want more iron harvest stuff

[arctic talon]

I’m not interested

[storm jungle]

all I got out of this was China

[late osprey]

ok but speaking of, DOW2's micro does NOT hold up at all

a DoW 2 2 could definitely be an improvement

[arctic talon]

Oh it’s awful lol

Which is why I want a DOW2 2

[late osprey]

my favorite part is avitus running into melee

[languid meadow]

The last dlc it got was Usonia being added with airships

[rose thorn]

i wonder how well aos is doign in china

[late osprey]

awesome stuff there

[celest dome]

I just want either Battle for Middle Earth 1/2 or DoW1/Starcraft 2 but AoS

[rose thorn]

or uh hongkong

[arctic talon]

I’d rather get Warcraft 3 styled stuff

For AoS

[summer mural]

shadowrun?

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-harvest-gif-24481240

[late osprey]

OK hear me out

[rose thorn]

that would rock

[late osprey]

age of wondies 4, but AOS

[arctic talon]

Yes

[summer mural]

I lowkey want xcom 3

[queen laurel]

Iron harvest moment iron harvest moment

[arctic talon]

Good taste

[languid meadow]

I NEED MORE IRON HARVEST

[celest dome]

Scythe is great, need Battlefield 1 but Scythe so much

[late osprey]

xcom 3 long war when

[summer mural]

when

🙏

[languid meadow]

I wish they added Nikola Tesla's faction to the game

[late osprey]

maybe it wont have infinitely scaling chosen trolling my game

[summer mural]

i kill them early

perma kill

[late osprey]

yeah fr

[summer mural]

then I just take their shit and go rampaging

GIVE ME THAT KATANA YOU ABOMINATION

[late osprey]

i ran into a situation where they scaled so hard that i swear it was like

mathematically impossible for 5 colonels to kill

campaign got trolled

ragequit

[arctic talon]

I need mechanicus 2

In my veins

[late osprey]

anyone play the new Chaos Gate?

really liked the old one

[summer mural]

stuff like immune to explosion
immune to high ground dmg
immune to overwatch dmg
like how tf am I supposed to kill this thing

[celest dome]

Still no ETA

[late osprey]

for me it was them getting a turn after every action

utterly outrageous

[summer mural]

ahh

assassin

[arctic talon]

It’s good

[rose thorn]

yes, i think the cutseens are ass ugly but the gaempaly is really good

i lvoe greyknights

[arctic talon]

Difficulty curve is totally fucked

But in a fun way

It’s a difficult game

[summer mural]

its a fun game tbh

[arctic talon]

But once you learn it you learn it

[rose thorn]

i lvoe difficult games in this era of easy games

[summer mural]

they did some grey knight stuff right , the classes you get to play are nice too

PURGATOR FOREVER

[rose thorn]

im shit posting

[languid meadow]

Wait like a new new CG or daemonhunters that came out a couple years ago

[rose thorn]

dameonhunter

[summer mural]

thats like 90% of my posts

[rose thorn]

i heard spacemarine 2 is really easy evne on the hardest difficulty but that could be reddit shitoposting

[storm jungle]

Uh

it depends

the combat is like really fucking wonky

high diff gets near impossible at times, also fighting the Thousand Cunts sucks

[late osprey]

the HARDEST difficulty is quite difficult

[summer mural]

Capn Mary Tits?

[late osprey]

was stuck on the final boss for a while

but it was like

an old school boss in the way that you had to memorize the attack patterns

kinda fun in that way

[arctic talon]

Oh yeah Eris in Hades is a mother

Which is

Cursed knowledge

[storm jungle]

the problem with the high diffs is you can tell the game is not designed to really support it

so it becomes like

genuinely a slog and unfair

which is funny

[rose thorn]

lmao

[late osprey]

i ended up using exclusively the lascannon at the end there

it was the only thing that did anything

chainsaw combo is pretty good too tho

[summer mural]

yeah you know why thats funny dilara?

because you finished chaosgate on the hardest difficulty on your first run

[rose thorn]

i just realized the newest game ive played is nubbys number factory

eveyr otehr game i play is 5+ years old

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

The newest game I played is the new monster hunter

[rose thorn]

never aksing for a 1k sonw ithout a helmet again

[storm jungle]

The mite in my room seeing a massive spider

[arctic talon]

And I already have played it too much

Tbh

[languid meadow]

Lagi soon

[rose thorn]

this isnt even cool ugly

[arctic talon]

King of the seas

[storm jungle]

his sex factor is very lacking

[arctic talon]

Wonder if they’re going to give him variant moves

Like they did with Mizu

[rose thorn]

Leviathan Hunter Wilds

https://tenor.com/view/monster-hunter-wilds-uth-duna-truth-nuke-patrick-star-squidward-gif-1889848931976865018

[summer mural]

one of my friends asked me the other day why someone would join chaos for some supposed boons, this is the pic im gonna show them

[arctic talon]

Hirabami, Jin Dahaad and Uth Duna are very fun new leviathans

Now new snake wyvern when

[arctic talon]

It’s fun, even the older games are extremely good

Except for like monster hunter 1

That one is awful imo

[plush mason]

this, so much this

frankly there are so many old gen monsters that deserve a modern gen update

[rose thorn]

Is monster hunter stories an actual game or is it a false memory living on steam

[plush mason]

its an actual game

not at all related to the main line or spin off MH titles lol

[tough haven]

Hm, I wonder if buying chaosgate is worth it

[plush mason]

if you like XCOM i say it is

[summer mural]

its a fun game once you understand all the mechanics

and the bs the game can throw at you on your first run

because you have no idea how to prep for certain events on your first run

[plush mason]

in true XCOM fasion it is very punishing to learn and you will lose a lot more than you will win lol

[summer mural]

but the actual gameplay is fun tbh

[spare osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/xcom-hop-on-gif-26943695

god

xcom

[summer mural]

actually

that aspect is fully gone

chaosgate makes some nice qol changes to standard xcom formula

you have no accuracy percentages

[plush mason]

yeah chaosgate can actually shoot

[summer mural]

grey knights dont miss

if you can hit a shot, its guaranteed to hit

[spare osprey]

will say the modding is fantastic

[plush mason]

which is the exact opposite of XCOM

[spare osprey]

knew a guy who did clone wars stuff

[summer mural]

and also, your movement points get fully refreshed in between encounters

[plush mason]

where you are guaranteed to miss 90% chance to hit shots

[summer mural]

plus

your grey knights arent as afraid of taking dmg and going to low hp as your xcom grunts

[arctic talon]

It’s an actual game, but it’s not related to the mainline actual monster hunter stuff

[summer mural]

a lot of classes are designed for taking hits on the frontline

[arctic talon]

My first monster hunter game was 4U lol

[summer mural]

because theres a much bigger focus on melee

[rose thorn]

Dman

[late osprey]

ok whats bad about it

in your opinion

at least vs xcom

[summer mural]

theres nothing bad about it

i didnt imply otherwise

[crisp heath]

did anybody notice the gs talk in game?

it was before or what?

[tough haven]

My only gripe is it’s space marines 😦

I’m tired of space marines

[arctic talon]

Well it’s part of an existing like

Series for chaos gate

[tough haven]

There is no out

[vagrant fox]

Good thing I like space marines

[outer wave]

Okay but at least AT LEAST the Thousand Sons robots look cool

[barren prawn]

this FUCKER has a working omophagea

[arctic talon]

Yes

[outer wave]

Dont most space marines have working omophageas?

[arctic talon]

I think all the new cult legion stuff is cool tbh

Yes

[barren prawn]

yes but GW forgot about it

[outer wave]

I havent looked much into the World Eaters and Death Guard stuff

[outer wave]

Okay valid

[arctic talon]

The worldeater dude is an even bigger eightbound

With a bloodthirster shoved in him

[outer wave]

A 64-bound?

[arctic talon]

And the death guard dude is cool

Even if he’s swords mc swordsmen

[arctic talon]

Nah just 8 bloodthirsters(?) or at least 7 bloodletters and a bloodthirster

[outer wave]

Feel like those bloodletters could've been idk Skullcrushers or Juggernauts

Idk the 8 bound having the bloodletters feels alright but the bigger guy? Could've been even more rad

Actually if an 8-bound loses control of their body, do they just become normal possessed marines?

[arctic talon]

I’d assume they explode horribly

But yeah

They should become a normal possesed

[arctic talon]

I mean it’s a bloodthirster

[outer wave]

Would be cool to have Accursed Marines

[arctic talon]

Those are beeeg

[outer wave]

I know those are big but having the 7 other bloodletters feels odd

What if it were 8 Bloodthirsters at once...

[arctic talon]

It might be 8 bloodthirsters at once

Lol

They didn’t specify

I’m sure we’ll learn more

[outer wave]

Would be so rad

Though makes me a bit sad because now I have to wait for their lore to come out and it wont be out with the current codex

[plush mason]

a what?

[barren prawn]

exactly

[vagrant fox]

that thing what where you eat someones nuts and you gain their memories

[winter vessel]

Allows them to be Hannibal Lecter

[tough haven]

Anyone got a good place to buy purity seals?

[vagrant fox]

etsy probably

I've gotten some goods from there

[plush mason]

oh right

[barren prawn]

what kind

stickers or full on realistic?

[plush mason]

yeah for some reason GW only rembmers that organ exists when its the space wolves

[rose thorn]

Like for kitbashing?

[storm jungle]

GW stores will sometimes have them as pins you can put on mateiral.

[plush mason]

there was an old mobile game with the space wolves that mentions it too

[barren prawn]

UNSKULL REACT ME NOW

its a valid question

amazon has them

i got 2

theyre very good quality BUT the seal is full on metal with no way of sticking it to stuff other than glue

[tough haven]

nah like decorations

[tough haven]

Adhesive, I'm not trying to melt wax onto my pc lol

[barren prawn]

ah

tbh

find images and take them to a copy place

they usually can print out stickers

WHAT

i paid 20 for them

[tough haven]

Its 4 of them though

[barren prawn]

ah

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gvts-OMQL._AC_SY535_.jpg

seal was metal and the paper was leather it was pretty high quality

[tough haven]

Lmao I didnt even notice

Indiscriminate screen snip

[opaque coyote]

Isstvan V has been tariffed instead

[opaque coyote]

Genuine question

So when a plasma gun fails like that

Does it become unusable

Or does it just explode the user but somehow still repairable

[winter vessel]

I must defer to the usual response. Whatever the author decides is best for a plasma gun to become unstable. little bit of column A and Column B

[late osprey]

that reminds me

@arctic talon

in case you havent seen this already

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

No it just vents superheated steam and some plasma all over you generally giving you horrific burns or killing you

If a plasma gun explodes thst means containment failure has occurred

[arctic talon]

LOL, smh my GOATs would never.

[arctic talon]

Pentex moment

Looks like they’re pulling from the older editions version of them

Since they’re not called the Pentex Group

[languid meadow]

What they're setting up seems pretty cool so far

also Ross

He's pretty cool

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Ngl I wish they didn’t give Blair what looks like the first team symbol on her gas mask

So it was way more ambiguous who the hell they were

Then again maybe it’s just there to be a red herring

And they’re like related to the syndicate or technocracy

[winter vessel]

Any implication as to what the leader of that corporate hunting party is supposed to be?

[arctic talon]

Yes

A mage

Either that or uh

Another splat I forgot the name of

I don’t have that book

A ferectoi? I think that’s what I’m thinking of

A nephandi(maybe)

It’s pretty open. In any case he could have killed both Chapman and Kevin without his goon squad

[winter vessel]

But he’s using something that is, for clarification sake, nothing like Thaumaturgy that’s practiced by clan Tremere?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

It’s actual magic

[languid meadow]

Magic is.... complicated in WOD iirc

[arctic talon]

Very

[languid meadow]

basically think of normalcy, grass is green the sky is blue

[arctic talon]

The mage book gives me a headache

And I’ve run a campaign for it

If he’s part of Pentex then it’s likely from the special projects division

If he’s part of the technocracy then he could be part of the special projects division

[languid meadow]

mages see the world as not that and they see through the illusion of "Normalcy"

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-reality-reality-can-be-whatever-i-want-infinity-gantlet-avengers-end-game-gif-13852128

[arctic talon]

Imo there’s a 99% chance he’s just a mage part of Pentax and I’m overthinking shit

[winter vessel]

sigh and this is why any form of fantasy in media is a pain in the ass to understand. More reading into this I guess.

In any case, this episode is probably my favorite “0 to 100” moment in the series. I though the two were just gonna be pulled over or get a flat. But no, these two witness a plane getting blown out of the sky by an RPG.

[arctic talon]

Yeah it’s great

[languid meadow]

Trying to figure out what Ross is ||like it's obvious that he's a werewolf but like what clan/affiliation||

[arctic talon]

Tbh it’s intentionally sort of ambiguous

[arctic talon]

||BSD or glasswalker||

[languid meadow]

that's what I'm thinking

[arctic talon]

Imo likely the first

He seems way too uh

Violent for the second

[languid meadow]

I've seen theories that this all links to the 99p special

[arctic talon]

But he also has no obvious mutations, but we never see his face

[arctic talon]

It’s likely related

Imo

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/if-the-emperor-had-a-text-to-speech-device-leman-russ-gif-14921929

[winter vessel]

Wouldn’t be surprised. There was something eerily mystic about that episode. One I still can’t nail down when big D fell in that hole

[languid meadow]

I've seen people theorized that the methuselah that D and his father killed is down there, and that's why there is all that attention around the place. but idk really

that doesn't explain the bizzarro world shop

[arctic talon]

We’ll prolly be getting an info dump from the werewolf’s soon

Lol

Considering what seems like Pentex and wyrm stuff is involved

[languid meadow]

Put me in the stasis chamber for 6 months

[arctic talon]

But i wonder if Ross is actually related to D

Or if it’s just a coincidence despite him being a Russ reference and my existing biases

[opaque coyote]

To be honest, I have a theory that

For Plasma Guns, it was intended to be used with either DAoT era Power Armor

Or Men of Iron

Because both would probably not care about plasma venting at their face.

So it was considered an acceptable risk back then

It still is for the Imperium, but now acceptable risk includes "Death by Plasma venting into your face"

TLDR;

Safety Commissions only died during the Age of Strife

[arctic talon]

That is literally the lore yes

Power armor can protect you from the venting

As can augmentics

Skitarii and tech priests can “shrug it off”

And so can marines and sisters of battle

If the whole thing goes pop that’s another story

The overheat usually doesn’t kill the guardsmen

It’s just horrific mutilation often

[vagrant fox]

I reckon they had better things than plasma guns in the daot, considering archaeotech pistols and what not

Rather, used better things commonly

You know, disintegration weapons are reminiscent of necron weapons

[opaque coyote]

Tbf the DAoT tech is inconsistent.

I honestly think Plasma Guns were probably like

Seen as reliable

Well for the time

Like "Yeah there are more powerful weapons, but the plasma gun is good enough"

Which is wild to think honestly

Imagine Weapon conventions during the DAoT era

[vagrant fox]

There is that, I've always imagined lasweapons to be frontier weapons for the ease of manufacture and ammunition resupply

[opaque coyote]

Tbh I've imagined Lasweapons to be more like

Hunting rifles

The colonists were given them because well they were good enough for hunting creatures

It's basically equivalent to hunting with like

A Springfield Rifle basically

And they became popularized because

They were easy to make, to maintain, and good enough for defending

Especially in the Age of Strife when supplies are cut off

Don't have X thing here to continue to use your fancy disintegration gun

[opaque coyote]

Ig that's what you mean by frontier

The definition caught up to my brain

Fuck

Don't yap before you think kids

I kinda imagined Bolters to be like the standard though.

Like every military used them. Since I think like

The Dwarves used them, Terra during the unification wars used them, etc.

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if anyone could make a las gatling gun with a homemade set up.

[opaque coyote]

Wait do we even have a Las Gatling gun?

Let me check

[wintry scarab]

I just saw this image and it reminded me of how i really am not a big fan of space marines having human proportions. These oversized proportions just make them look so muck more inhuman and threatening.

[nocturne crest]

I think it's only lascannons and lasguns variants, seeing how some are fullauto, I think?

[opaque coyote]

Multi Lasers

[arctic talon]

Not a Gatling gun tbf

But yeah

[opaque coyote]

Doesn't look like a Gatling gun though

0/10

[arctic talon]

Yeah but it doesn’t spin

[opaque coyote]

But hey

Laser machine gun is

...

Is fine

smallest violin plays

[vagrant fox]

the eldar win again

[opaque coyote]

DAMN YOU

YOU KNIFE EARED MFS

AAA-

[vagrant fox]

The scatterlaser doesn't look like that anymore but you know

[opaque coyote]

Aren't they like

2E though

The Look

[vagrant fox]

Yeah it's a RT/2E design, it's changed since

[opaque coyote]

Speaking of like Gatling Lasers in general.

Fallout has a Gatling Laser

Which design do you like the most

[vagrant fox]

I've always liked my chonky wide space marines, the head just needs to be a bit bigger

[nocturne crest]

From Fallout?

[vagrant fox]

Either the Fallout 1/2 or 4 gatling laser, hated the one in 3

[nocturne crest]

Going to be honest, I prefer the design from FO:3 and FO:NV over the design in 4.

[opaque coyote]

Here are all of the designs so far

[winter vessel]

I do somewhat miss having the giant battery on my back when using it

[opaque coyote]

First is FO1/FO2
second is FO3/FNV
third is FO4/76

[vagrant fox]

The missing back battery is a disappointment

[opaque coyote]

I'm gonna be a contrarian here (gasp)

And say that the Fallout 4 one is my favorite

[wintry scarab]

Nah. 100% disagree. Having the head small puts into perspective how monstrously massive the marines actually are. I really like the small heads

[winter vessel]

That one’s kinda cool too. Too bad some of the guns are lame

[vagrant fox]

i curse you

[opaque coyote]

Kinda miss the giant ass backpack though that shit is funny

[opaque coyote]

Fallout 4 Assault Rifle being the biggest downgrade like

Ever

[nocturne crest]

Was there a plasma gatling?

[opaque coyote]

Seriously

Why

[vagrant fox]

Fallout 4 assault rifle is great, if it was in some WW1 alternate game

[nocturne crest]

Honestly, it just seems like something only people in power armour could use.

[wintry scarab]

Yeah, imo that looks sick. Ok, in the image you posted, the head is a bit comedically small. Increase it by like 10-20% and id be happy.

[vagrant fox]

FO4 assault rifle was just designed for someone in power armour to use

[opaque coyote]

The Plasma Caster technically counts, but it's just the design of the classic Fallout Plasma Rifle. Looks cool though and I kinda wish it was a separate thing.

Fallout 76 actually has a Plasma Galting though

It looks...

Uh

[winter vessel]

I mean the intent really was supposed to be a heavy rifle that compliments it with a power armor user. Least they did that for the tv show

[vagrant fox]

I jest, I like proportional exaggeration and I like that artist. I do prefer a more proportional head size but it's subjective taste

[winter vessel]

My car’s turbocharger

[opaque coyote]

They also made a redesign of the Plasma Caster in 76

[arctic talon]

I agree

[late osprey]

OK i fuck with the tiger gun

[arctic talon]

And I tend to like the old designs

[opaque coyote]

I actually think it looks good

[late osprey]

i also fuck with the tiger walker

[winter vessel]

I like how in canon the FN Fal exists

[arctic talon]

God the old war Walker

Was ugly lol

[late osprey]

what do u think happens when u shoot at him?

does he dodge?

[arctic talon]

It’s shielded

So nothing

[opaque coyote]

Ah yes

The original Baby Carriage

I guess the Grey Knights have the old ones now

[nocturne crest]

What about the more weirder weapons, like that gun with the dog brain in?

[late osprey]

baby carriage, you say?

[opaque coyote]

Unfortunately no FIDO.

You can however use like

An actual Gatling Gun

I don't mean

A minigun or anything

No

An unironic

1800s ass Gatling Gun

[winter vessel]

Funny if I saw Maximus in the tv series use this

[wintry scarab]

Also ive just came across complaining about the proportions being unfeasible. Idk if this one is a troll but ive seen a bunch of clips of people making fun of space marine proportions not making sense with the armour while at the same time making completely wrong analysis. Idk, those sort of vids unreasonably annoy me.

[vagrant fox]

Ah I had a good time making muzzle loader fireing lines in FO76 with my friends, it sucked for killing most things

[opaque coyote]

Honestly looking through the Fallout 76 catalogue of weapons

They do look genuinely varied and a lot of seem to actually be

...designed decently??

Which is a shock to me because look at Starfield's weapons

[winter vessel]

Somehow, I find Terran Marines in their power suits more easier to digest when it comes to them wearing it compared to Astartes

[nocturne crest]

Honestly, I feel like you would need PA to do so.

[opaque coyote]

They even brought back the 10mm submachine gun

Although now it's classified as a rifle

Genuinely wish we had this type of weapon variety in 4 tbh

[winter vessel]

My favorite is the 50 cal machine gun. Always wondered what it’d be like firing the Ma Deuce while moving

[opaque coyote]

There is only one mistake

And it's that they didn't replace the FO4 assault rifle design

Why

It looks like total ass

I don't care if it's supposed to be used with PA

Or it's supposed to look like it's from WW1

It looks like total dogshit

That's what it is

[nocturne crest]

I need to give Fallout London ago.

[opaque coyote]

It is an offense to the senses

My eyes are violated

Everytime I am forced to look up on it

Yet I can't forget it

[winter vessel]

I’m more surprised Appalachia has a bunch of MG42s you can use

[nocturne crest]

There's a cut sten gun for F:76.

[opaque coyote]

It's like a fucking cognitohazard

[arctic talon]

It’s not that bad

It’s bad

But it could be worse

[vagrant fox]

It's not that bad, it just doesn't fit Fallout at all

[arctic talon]

Y’all don’t know truly terrible looking guns

[opaque coyote]

... seriously though I am actually happy to see a bunch of classic Fallout weapons in 76 tbh

Maybe I should give it a try

[nocturne crest]

Here's one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww8faFJpPjE

[opaque coyote]

Well once I upgrade my PC

[winter vessel]

Pancor Jackhammer

[opaque coyote]

Destiny ass

Oh wIt

[arctic talon]

Destiny has the most cursed guns

[opaque coyote]

That is it's title

[arctic talon]

But a lot of them don’t count

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

Because they’re literally magical

[opaque coyote]

I just said Destiny ass out of instinct

💀

[vagrant fox]

Where there's magic and matter teleportation, magwells don't need to make any sense

[arctic talon]

They’re just shaped like guns because guardians are fucking stupid

Lol

And want guns

Even though it’s fucking wish laser beam

That works off of making a wish

[vagrant fox]

This thing is funny though

[opaque coyote]

..
Y'know honestly

[vagrant fox]

Gee a magazine AND a revolver cylinder

[opaque coyote]

It would be entertaining to put in an actual game

[spare osprey]

ayyyy my boy Alexey

[arctic talon]

Omolon guns are hilarious

[vagrant fox]

I used that thing forever

[arctic talon]

They have liquid ammo

[nocturne crest]

There's a pistol from Norway that is somewhat like that.

[opaque coyote]

All I can say is

[nocturne crest]

Tbh, you also can give the guns a colour scheme.

[arctic talon]

https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Omolon-Rifle-Destiny-Taken-King.jpg

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah it works good. But we are not bringing this shit to WW3. We don't want the Americans to laugh at us before we get nuked."

[nocturne crest]

That's literally a comment in the video

[winter vessel]

Omolons are really strange. I look at where the ammo is stored and it looks like grape, blueberry, or orange juice, depending on the damage type

[opaque coyote]

...y'know the worst part is that

If they just filled in like

The empty spaces with like metal or something

It would actually be okay

[arctic talon]

Random magical devices stuck onto guns make them kill harder

[arctic talon]

Guardians skeletonize then on purpose

Lol

Less weight = good

They have non skeletonized versions

One moment

[nocturne crest]

There is also the Destiny version of a bolter as well.

[opaque coyote]

They circumcised that gun bro

[arctic talon]

https://sm.ign.com/t/ign_za/screenshot/o/omolon-sco/omolon-scout-rifle_6yju.1080.jpg

[arctic talon]

Bro they did more then circumcise

They fucking peeled that gun alive

[arctic talon]

I hate how I can recognize all the guns

[arctic talon]

Ah yes cabal stuff lol

[vagrant fox]

Yeah I remember them all now looking at it, many good hours

[opaque coyote]

Y'know the worst part is that I weirdly like it

Idk it looks like a T'au pulse rifle

[arctic talon]

But yeah omolon guns are normal looking, guardians just like to fuck with their guns

[vagrant fox]

Where's my special gun cerberus

[arctic talon]

I’d like to mention a pistols handle is labeled as a “good bludgeon”

In an official lore book

[winter vessel]

Remember DARCI?

[vagrant fox]

I love this thing

[nocturne crest]

I do

[arctic talon]

Cerberus+1 is funny

[winter vessel]

A guardian pieces it together and went “ah fuck it”

[vagrant fox]

I remember a weird DARCI meta sometime in D2

[arctic talon]

Wardcliff cool funnier

[opaque coyote]

"WE HAVE COME TO CIRCUMCISE YOUR GUNS"

"GET AWAY FROM MEEE-"

[arctic talon]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/destinypedia/images/7/71/The_Wardcliff_Coil_Screenshot.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170908100032

[arctic talon]

It’s meta again rn

[opaque coyote]

What the fuck

[winter vessel]

Ah the good old space satellite rocket launcher

[arctic talon]

They turned it into gallerjorn for snipers

[late osprey]

are teddy bears intimidating in the 41st millennium?

[arctic talon]

It shoots out a fuck ton of electrical micro missiles

And also

The original version blew up a city block

This is the “sized down” version

[vagrant fox]

The clean version is so cursed

[opaque coyote]

Lemme guess the original was just one giant ball

[vagrant fox]

What comes around goes around I suppose, that's funny though

[winter vessel]

I remember splurging a little bit and got the Chrome skin for my Suros Regime

[opaque coyote]

...y'know if it weren't for the goofy ahh colors this would actually look good

Idk give it a black finish

[arctic talon]

Oh also

[nocturne crest]

Here's some skins

[arctic talon]

wait

lemme get the funniest weapon

brb

Fires out 3 rockets

[nocturne crest]

Also, I should probably play D2 again at some point.

[vagrant fox]

Oh yeah that fucking thing

[arctic talon]

Don't

lol

[nocturne crest]

I spent money on. I'm getting that value back.

[arctic talon]

also the jade rabbits ornament is hilarious

[winter vessel]

This old girl got me through a lot of gambit matches

[arctic talon]

if you haven't finished what you paid for then yeah

[winter vessel]

Ah yes. The J Pop rocket launcher

[arctic talon]

play the game

otherwise I wouldn't personally

[opaque coyote]

This looks like something out of Cyberpunk 2077

[vagrant fox]

What's the one that shoots larvae

[arctic talon]

oh also the khovostov

[vagrant fox]

parasite?

[arctic talon]

parasite yeah

[vagrant fox]

Weird thing, I touched it once and put it down I think

[arctic talon]

its the same worm everytime btw

lol

[winter vessel]

My beloved. I did not hesitate to buy the skin. The default one gave me an aneurysm

[arctic talon]

The default one is ugly but cool

[proud wedge]

Who is Wolfers boss? and do you find out more about her if you do other missions?

[arctic talon]

that isn't Wolfers boss technically

and she's new

so we have to wait

[winter vessel]

My first thought was “tf is this Lego DUPLO ass looking”

[proud wedge]

So the one mission where she kind of bosses him around is pretty much all the lore you get about her?

[vagrant fox]

look at it in there getting ready to explode

[arctic talon]

she's a leader of the cult of admonition

[arctic talon]

yeah

[arctic talon]

The funniest thing is the heartbeat monitor on the side

[proud wedge]

Ok thank you.

[arctic talon]

it flatlines the moment the worm hits something

LOL

[arctic talon]

ah yes malfecence

halo 2 needler but evil

[vagrant fox]

This was it, my my favourite gun for so many seasons

[winter vessel]

It’s funny. My whole thought process for that quest I really thought Mara was gonna do something dangerous with the worm. But I laughed at “WE WEAPONIZE THE WORM…” at the end of the quest line

[nocturne crest]

Huh. There's a skin for a gun that looks like the T'au would use.

[vagrant fox]

Thunderlord my boy is that you

[arctic talon]

No

thats uh

[winter vessel]

It’s nerf or nothing

[nocturne crest]

Xenophage

[arctic talon]

yeah

[winter vessel]

The one shot machine gun?

[vagrant fox]

Ooh xenophage, that's right

[arctic talon]

yeah

[nocturne crest]

The one locked behind a dungeon/raid.

[winter vessel]

I do like the lore behind it

[arctic talon]

Tommy's matchbook lol

What a funny gun

literally sets you on fire

as you fire it

[vagrant fox]

It was a lot of fun as a fire titan

[vagrant fox]

I was the only person in my clan to use matchbook regularly

[arctic talon]

if only you were good

what a fun gun sound and design wise

shame it sucks since its so low RPM

whats a gun we can give Laati a stroke with

oh wait I got one

@opaque coyote hey check this thing out

[winter vessel]

BEHOLD THE GRAPHICS CARD SWORD

[vagrant fox]

wrooming the chainsaw on that thing was always fun

Honestly Destiny weapons aren't so bad, it's worse to me when a game pretends to be realistic and has some real cursed shit

[arctic talon]

Destiny guns are just magical

Lol

[nocturne crest]

Tbh, it's going to be interesting to see if Bungie's Marathon reveal on Saturday will win back fans.

[arctic talon]

Or weird, it’s not pretending to be realistic yeah

[nocturne crest]

Yeah, some are realistic and some are magical through sci-fi or actual magic.

[winter vessel]

1 of three mindsets a guardian has is…

[vagrant fox]

I've seen people complain about this one so consistently

[arctic talon]

tbh

it doesn't eject casings

so it could just be literal fucking weird fluid lol

[vagrant fox]

It's an energy gun

[arctic talon]

Wait

Oh yeah it is lmao

Well some energy guns have casings tbf

but yeah that one def doesn't use uh

bullets

[vagrant fox]

Some do but yeah this one doesn't

[vagrant fox]

Man they have programmable matter don't worry too much look at some cursed blops guns to get mad at

[winter vessel]

I hate the glimmer cap

[arctic talon]

we literally have a gun that teleports bullets

back into the mag lol

[ivory umbra]

My favorite gun is drang

[arctic talon]

Drang is fun

[ivory umbra]

So peak

[winter vessel]

No time to explain?

[arctic talon]

No

Super Good Advice

though NTTE might do it as well lol

[vagrant fox]

It was fun when you could infinitely stack ammo in sturm and drang for a while

[winter vessel]

Oh yeah

[vagrant fox]

Infinitely up to 99

[winter vessel]

What sucks about that gun is I enjoyed using it. But the fact that it takes a big space of my corner screen bothered the hell out of me

[vagrant fox]

https://youtu.be/r-JCGRq6ChE

I almost got back into it

[ivory umbra]

The vow weapons are cool too

Damm is the season almost over?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[vagrant fox]

Dunno I don't keep track

[ivory umbra]

I’m gonna finish it tomorrow then lol

[winter vessel]

I ain’t going back. I made a vow to complete the game back in 2017, no matter how bad it was gonna be. Soon as I finished Final Shape, I was DONE

[arctic talon]

Tbh

at least we have confirmation

a version of Oryx sees us as the rightful heir to the throne lol

Oryx is a lot of fun this season

[ivory umbra]

God they’ve been killing themselves recently

[vagrant fox]

I left at s19 being hopeful for D2s future

[nocturne crest]

Wait, this season almost over?

[ivory umbra]

Bungie just needs to let destiny die after uhhh I think it’s called horizons?

[arctic talon]

Revenant was ass I'm ngl. They needed to spend more time on eramis lol

I don't even hate her as a character

[nocturne crest]

https://tenor.com/view/tenacious-d-fuck-demon-devil-satan-gif-4862462

[arctic talon]

her whole arc is really half assed even with the lore tabs

[ivory umbra]

What’s after the episode of echoes and such again

It was there next big thing

[nocturne crest]

Also, which legion would be the best fit for Jack Black to play a CSM in?

[arctic talon]

Red Corsairs

obviously

[winter vessel]

Beat me by one second

[ivory umbra]

Expeditions?

[arctic talon]

This, is a BLACKSTONE FORTRESS

[winter vessel]

Ba-dab War (in the tone of flint and steel)

[ivory umbra]

I can’t remember destiny’s road map and what they had after the episodes

[nocturne crest]

As-tral claws!

[arctic talon]

Brimstone horror(in the same tone as chicken jockey)

god

the brainrot

[winter vessel]

I’m trying to think now what would be lava chicken, lmao

[ivory umbra]

It was destiny frontiers

I might be hype for that

[nocturne crest]

So what was everyone's thoughts on the laser musket in fallout 4

[vagrant fox]

Part of me wishes they'd just done D3, I miss the Red War

[winter vessel]

It’s an interesting concept. Didn’t like it or hate it

[arctic talon]

cool

should have had infinite ammo

[vagrant fox]

I like the musket conceptually but it's execution is a little iffy

[nocturne crest]

Yeah. And there's a lawsuit about it because they actually deleted the files form the game.
