His kit is cool
The cerebro one?
Really?
Like Adam
I knew he was a healer
Where he can fucking obliterate your Hp bar
Didnt know his kit was leaked
Mhm he can attach drones to ppl
And inject them with uh
That is Xavier
I just play Loki mostly
You know how fuckin wonky his chair hitbox would be lol
If they did his cripple version from the cartoons

God i wish Ultron had a better VA
I imagined someone Rammattra-esque
mfer sounds like an NPC
TRASH.
I liked his voice actor from the avengers movie
Spader
Just remembered
Tell me why they did THIS bad
God the moving mouth looks so weird lol
Look at the fucking Wanda
I liked when he was singing the song
Honestly, the villains i'd love to see most would be comicboom thanos, his comicbook look as a skin would be fine too, Apocalypse and Omega Red
Modok bro
A couple others would be neat, but i'd love those 3
All of the characters are based mostly on their comic book counterparts
Thematically
Real
I NEES modok
Ever since marvel ultimate alliance
Bruh, he'd just be that one villain frlm MegasXlr at that point
Abomination would be awesome too
I'd be surprised if they didnt add Green Goblin
Either his glider variant or the gargoyle form
I do wonder about that
Fin Fang Foom
If they'd add a literal fuckin nazi to the game
On the HYDRA base
Even as a video game character
Armin Zola is in the game? Lol
Since they’ve already got a design for
Him
Yeah he’s on propaganda posters in the Hydra base
Give me Baron Zemo, always loved his comic book look
Zemo is also an actual Nazi lol
I know, but he looks cool
Atleast Cap always kicks his fuckin ass
Old Man Logan comic made me so sad how Cap went out
Does taskmaster count count as a villain
Hold a moment of silence, my friends
Annihilus
Or is he inbetween lol
Also if we’re talking just characters
Is Johnny storm that bad of a roommate
Lockjaw as a vanguard
The man put him in a collar I imagine he has a personal issue with him
That'd be sick
I don't care to see new captain america, but I kinda want to see Thunderbolts
Ngl
It’s the only recent MCU movie I’ve wanted to watch
Because what’s being shown is interesting
I just realized why they aren’t adding blade lol
They don’t want to add another dps
He’s coming next
I know but just fucking add him now
Having a working kit != it existing
Her kit is functional and visually she looks fine
When I’m saying not done
Very few counters
I’m saying art assets
Emma is pretty good at close range, her kit is fun
Are missing lol
She’s crazy
And vfx and sfx
Insane damage, tanking, and disruption
Not to mention the 100-0 animation lock combo you can do
Lol
Where her white queen outfit as a skin though
I’ve yet to actually check
Im surprised
But apparently he’s moving around maps
He’s sleeping on the wakanda map rn yeah
Also, you think they'll add spider carnage as a skin for spiderman or add it as a skin for Carnage if they ever add him?
With his sunglasses and shoes on
I recently learned a little bit about Lorgar... Why is it Horus Heresy and not Lorgar Heresy?
The man is INSANE
Because Horus was the war master
And also because his betrayal was known first
Horus led it
Let the man sleep, no one helps him with vampires, he deserves it
He’s a superhero
IN HIS GLASSES AND J’S?
Of course he’s insane
WHAT IS WESLEY SNIPES DOING
Lorgar seems shittier guy than Horus
Bruh, you never got off work and been too tired to change and just fell asleep on the couch?
Not mine but funny watching it bounce
I dont think the historians care
Lol
See I have
Also that blanket placement is just insane, like he’s purposely not being covered.
INSANITY

Or that Blade game
Make him a support
"one spiderman villain"
Electro? Vulture?
With Ultron we get closer to a fully flying team lol

MORLUN
We’re missing flying tanks now
I remembered
War machine
We need 2 though
Or maybe it can be 1 tank 3 dps 2 support lol
There’s another flying support
Necessary
Is there a reason why some Psykers have tubes going into their heads?
Damn tight asf pants
Enhancers, conduits, drugs
Your choice
Kingpin or Green Goblin, you cant really do anyone else
Genuinely just put everyone on this poster in the game, if we’re gonna kill hero balance might aswell do it in style
No one else has really fucked him over like them too
Also, they nodded towards daredevil or Deadpool in some new lore
“Crazy guy in red”
"ALL OF THE ABOVE TO COMMUNICATE TO MY BELOVED!"
A flying tank? Hmmm, would that even be good for a tank? The general idea is that they are a wall between their team and the enemy, wouldnt a flying tank be disadvantageous to that sort of ingrained playstyle?
ONLY THE FINEST COCAINE TO SPEAK WITH THE EMPEROR
It would be an off tank
Hmmmmm
Give them a deplorable shield
I saw a whole vid of tank ideas
And a fuck ton of damage
It feels more like dps territory
One I’m a fan of
Who cares imo
Is fuckin uh
Although it is definitely 100% ambiguous on what their beloved actually is. Whether it's a Daemon masquerading as the Emperor, an actual shard, or even just some random person.
I like to think that a tiny shard is literally just stuck in a psyker's head for no reason.
A-Bomb
Probably more likely yeah
Still would be funnier to imagine a tiny shard of the Emperor act as basically a roommate
Kinda like Piccolo and Nail in DBZA
"Hey, do you have anything good on. Let's see. Pain and suffering... pain and suffering... oh look a shitty recollection of an episode of Friends!"
OH
They also need to actually consider the purpose of new heroes, like what niche do they fill? What do they do to change the game? And is that necessary?
ANOTHER animal idea
Kingpin as a tank, come on
YOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nice
Tbh I was gonna say something really silly like idk
"The cock muncher"
Reptil could be fire
literally only know him cause of Superhero squad
Lol
So Space marine series related question, but would Leandros be the type to start shit with other ultramarines successors for not living up to the codex standards?
Like the Libators or the mortifactors?
prob
Probably
He’s one of those stick up the ass types for the codex
He’d get along great with the Hammers of Dorn though
Lol
Yo fucking Sauron lol
Sauron would be crazy too
So many cool villains they could add
I just noticed there is like
A bunch of mini skull decals
Wait
That's the Daemon machine right?
Now I'm just wondering
How the fuck did they stuff all those skulls in there
Magic
on the topic of daemon engines
just read one more of the Chaos marine stories for this week
iron warrior shoved his battle brother into a Mortifier
to make a daemon engine for vashtorr's tithe
no no no
he put his brother in it, then forced a daemon into it
to make a daemon engine
Incredible
It took the strength of both Nikia and Galani to hoist Rova up as the possession took hold. They struggled to cram him, power armour and all, into the open maw of the sarcophagus. Nikia struck his knees with his power axe, shattering them beneath the armour, and folding his legs backwards so they would fit. Neither hesitated to slam the coffin lid shut, even as the warp light’s intensity grew.
He allowed himself to be the conduit for the power Galani siphoned from the warp, building the construct with bizarre speed and heinous inspiration. He could see exactly what he should make in his mind. The blueprint he envisioned overlaid with his vision like a heads-up display. He followed the pattern with renewed confidence in himself, wrenching metal and flesh into their new, proper places.
A lesser mind would call it a ritual.
The gothic frame of the walker had darkened severely, stretching out with longer, distorted limbs reinforced with hulking purple muscles. Towering spikes climbed up its cathedral-like back, and the death-mask on the coffin had contorted into something that hauntingly resembled Calix’s face. His features were twisted in agony, the daemon’s claws peeling his eyes open and wide, its horns piercing through his forehead like a profane crown. The buzz-blades had swelled to truly hideous proportions, each tooth now a jagged edge as long as a mortal human’s arm. The daemon engine stood itself up from its kneeling position, raised its grotesque arms to the sky, and bellowed so loudly that it shook the ground beneath them.
these stories have been pretty big bangers so far
i started the Red Corsair one and i've finished the emp child and now the Iron warrior ones
i think there's night lord and death guard ones to round it out
like he literally walks over to his brother in the middle of the battle, says "i'm sorry your friend is a miserable bastard" then just starts beating his head in
all cause this sister of battle apothecary raises her sisters back from the dead
That’s crazy lol
the chaos grind set
he ain't even that chaos is the thing
he thinks the things he makes are ugly
he lies to himself about what they're doing
hell he's an apothecary forced to be a warpsmith
it's really neat
the EC one was good too
if interesting to imagine
That is the chaos grind set
(main dude swallows a large glass orb full of killer gas and basically spits it at an archon)
Is slowly changing you into something you don't want to be
cue archon melting
true
I am now imagining just
"Yeah we have one guy doing it."
"...one guy?"
"Yeah."
"...is he a Servitor or something?"
"No, it would be less funny"
"Yeah it's some random serf. We electrocute him and shove him with drugs. He hasn't slept in 7 days."
A Blightlord Terminator, Fain had survived a bolter round to the face from one of the Emperor’s pathetic faithful. Most of his head was gone now, simply gone – hollowed out like an apple with a bite taken from it. What remained had scabbed over but never healed, and now wept pus and blood and other, sweeter, things, and had been left crawling with flies and maggots, never again whole but never quite letting him die. He had but one eye, half a ruined nose, and very little brain.
i fucking love chaos
@spare osprey those a penances machines. Sisters
mhm, iron warriors profaned em
how is he still like
conscious and sapient

he basically isn't
he's just kinda
there
like if you were in a vegetative state but could still kill ig
...all i can say is

also apparently this was this dude's first ever time writing warhammer
and lowk it was great
it showed a really weird style of nurgle lad, he doesn't pray to the gods
he bargains with them
yeah some chaos do that
like some don't worship, they just treat it like a transcation
abaddon is another example
also cool thing, not from a marines perspective
of course, the house always wins
it's this schola kid who got picked to record their deeds
When Eraston spoke in battle, it was not to roar the sevenfold curses as Helmynth did, to grunt and scream and wail like mindless Fain, or to brag and challenge like brash Maggotfill. Eraston swore. I do not mean only that he spoke forbidden words – words coarse and blasphemous by Imperial standards. No, I mean that he swore.
‘I make pacts and promises, I invoke oaths, I offer prayers of the moment. I bargain,’ he told me, perhaps a week into our trip across the countryside. I had caught up to him at the edge of a raid site, where he was methodically flensing a fallen foe after an ambush. His skin was pale, but not as sickly-bloated or corpse-white as the others, and while he had tired bags under his eyes, those eyes were ever darting, ever sharp. ‘And when my prayers are answered, I pay my debts, so that they will be answered again when next I call.’
Eraston was slight of frame compared to his fellow renegades, and he had not received as many, or as vivid, flesh-mutating blessings. He looked… alarmingly human. His armour was not a twisted thing, crawling with runes, dripping with fluids, rippling like meat. His armour was as cold and hard as his eyes, and he took it off or stripped it down at times to move more quietly. He had the trick that some big men had, to move as though they were smaller. The killer’s trick.
The chilling normalcy of him, the mundanity he could muster when he tried, made it almost possible to forget that I was watching him peel a farmer from root to stem as we spoke.
it's a really good read
these DG lads are exiled to this agri world to prove themselves
after a failed mutiny
Warhammer Fantasy has a cool thing similar to this
Basically, the vikings pray to Tzeentch for good winds, Nurgle to fight against diseases, etc.
It's a cool concept
Although the idea of people praying to nurgle to have somebody get cured from sickness is uh

certainly an interesting source of pharmaceuticals
Marine’s fans you mean?
ok so far
corsair one was the least solid
kinda just ends with the dude going "gah i'll get you"
When Chaos gods are squabbling with each other, do their effects affect each other?
Like, if Tzeench daemon is fighting Nurgle daemon, can it get plagued?
not really
most of the time when two greater demons fight it's usually who is more blessed by their god and is better at using their respective power sets
You might be a powerful Lord of change but your magic can only do so much against extremely favored bloodthirster coming at your general direction with a giant axe that can split a tank with a single slice
Or Kharn
Man I'm starting to like the adeptus mechanus since reading short story's about them and the sillica animus / men of iron
The dark age of technology and what not is very very very neat

Immerse yourself in the grim darkness of...
People read a story the first time for curiosity
Then nostalgia for that dopamine high of “found something to eat good” for any subsequent expansions.
After 140 hours I discover that this button exists, now I don't need to back out from the level up screen to see what stats whichever character at that moment has...
i have 287 hours in it and i never noticed that lmao
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Tox flamer! Green fire’s no good for cooking nosh! 
Have you played the Mechanicus game?
Mechanicus 2 when 
when you finally rate a total war warhammer 3 DLC as perfect
Nevah 
Killed by Magnus iirc
i think its only speculated magnus personally killed him
though it is the most plausible
i like the theory that they found him stabbed in the back
or that the chaos gods got him killed by withdrawing their favour at a key moment
Not a fan of that one tbh, that's basically what happened to Horus
well
according to lexi magnus did kill him
apparently nobody could destroy his corpse, literally
so the elves took it and buried it on island in sea of claws
kinda sus
you think they still got cheese in 40k
They've got milk, so probably
grox cheese
serious answer is some worlds have just normal ass earth cows and what not because the original colonists cloned them after they settled the planet or they had the animals in cryosleep with them
like the main food stuff of the imperium is corn
Grox are reptiles 
The Imperium really do be 40k America 
hey corn makes the most sense, it can grow just about everywhere and can survive the longest in cryostorage
It's not originating from earth
Valid point
i swear i heard about grox having milk once but i cant recall if that was a real thing or just some fan fic thing
Given how the best way to describe the Imperium is actually “Feudal Federation”, not entirely incorrect.
true
the imperium does work like a less centeralized version of the union
every world is more or less left to govern itself and terra only really intervenes when it must

Yes I said it too
for aos
And then people said I was wrong
40K still has the BIG 4
Chaos space marines had a great release so I was like ‘oh okay!’
Wasn't year of chaos last year anyway
"This year is the year of Chaos, as evidenced by the Great Horned Rat"
I'm basing it on that but they might have used the term again
They say that term a lot
nekaph is so cute looking omg

Aborash profile picture
ofc
I love me some abhorash
especially that part where he tells nagash to fuck off
and also kinda tells everyone else to fuck off
Haughty High Elf Realms elites, lords, and soaring steeds arrive to humble their enemies in Warhammer: The Old World with next week's pre-orders, along with fresh releases for Necromunda and The Horus Heresy.
Plus, experience the nightmare of a Genestealer Cult uprising from a safe distance on Loremasters, along with two other shows arriving on...
also
did they release dragon princes before silver helms
where Ellyrian reavers
Wake up
Discover there is a Darktide supplement for Wrath & glory
What the fiouk ?
what are the lore tuber doing D: ?
Its very fun even if its aimed at like
"newcomer" RPG groups, which isnt a bad thing
afaik the whole system being dice pool is quite easy
I have been snorting C7 d100 system so I'm not into it but my friend is
same
lol
tbh the final difficulty encounter is a comically absurd difficulty spike
lol
WanG as i understand it is very solid, sorta like a Savage Worlds situation
The entire module is pretty beginner friendly and I'd happily run for a new group that doesn't know the system well
just not super deep
yeah
i havent played it but i was looking into whether my group should try it out or not
but the final encounter throwing a (maybe) ||GUO at you with a horde of other daemons and nurglites|| is fucking derranged lol
Grab a template, slap some skill and roll some dice based on a few skill and you good
it's pretty much a " DM figure it out" game rather than "look up that table"
Good. Suffer.

Its funny
I'm sure an actual group of competent players could handle it
but I want to chuck a group of people who've never played WANG into it
ngl
It's neither good nor bad, just a way and depends on what people likes, the DM FIat is always running anyway
this is true
yeah savage worlds runs like that and its one of my favorite settings
or GURPs as the crunchier brother
but i dont like GURPs at all
It just not good in high fantasy system because you reach a point where "what the dude try to magic" and "what the DM does" can be quite far away
never played Gurps
I"m <willing tbh ,ever did only one game of W&G
if you're familiar with the rules its already too much bcs the fight def has stuff thats exploitable if you know the basics imo
and who knows, If I can't get a Mechanicus guy in Darktide, I may have it there
surely , I believe
if only we had an insider with no morals
True, true
I also discovered this tonight , I hope they do xenos supplement
might be what pushes me toward this game
cubicle 7 make a black crusade equivalent that's edited well I beg

at least confirm if power axe yes or no
Give us sweet lies
i'll tell you everything* from dune awakening playtest
I WISH I could but nah id get kicked out no joke 
All that aside, I'm following someone who is rewriting the old Fantasy Flight Games Deatwatch rulebook to be sensible and coherent with overhauls to broken rules and he's up to 1800 pages and I'm not sure how you get that out of 400 pages
speaking of, i was talking with some friends a few days ago and we where wondering if the mmo will have lasguns
which could lead to some funny moments with the shields
but that has made me wonder just how big the blast is when the shield reacts to the laser
I decided to grill him a bit and it's apparently including stuff from expansions and a ton of the lore fluff, makes sense
what do psykers see in their vr headset things
what do they do when the headset breaks and now they can't see shit
They don't need to see with their eyes
they can see your soul
a lot of psykers who either get blinded during the process of being sanctioned, via accidents, or are wearing blindfolds
can see perfectly fine with their powers
they can see better arguably
Hey Lore nerds
What cosmetics you guys wanna see added to the game and for what class?
Miasman Redcowls for all 4 classes.
IF we were to get 4 seperate themes for each class,
Veteran: Gland warrior
Zealot: crusader in full carapace with the helmet down
Psyker: Inqusitorial Seer, with a blindfold + the funny inqusition force staff
Ogryn: The ogryn armor that the old bone head had in the Ogryn squad
Frankenstein head, yes
This armor
I want this
The darktide armor is similar but this is different enough
imo
I'd fuckin buy the shit out of this for zealot
Goddamn, it looks cool as fuck
We already have
Crusader armor would go incredibly hard
Its missing the legs
hood optional
It sure as hell dont look like that though
And the shoulders
Gotfret my beloved
Hmmmm
which I would also like
Those are pretty cool too
based on the RT video game version if they want to make it slightly less risque
for Veteran I want a gland warrior
and I want some weird inquisotrial psyker covered in wards and stuff with the funny staff
That white mask look from their killteam would also be neat
Pyran Dragoons and the whatever they were called tunnel rats would be cool
Athonian tunnel rats would be fun
the friendlyfire rate would be off the chart though LOL
Cultist lookin ass
It'd be funny for about a day though
Honestly wonder if friendly fire starts fucking
Increased with them in
Either due to
A) Looking like Chaos
Or
What the hell even is that gun he is holding?
Flamer?
Physical munitions?
Probably some type of Stubber/autogun?
Flamer
Idk
It’s a flamer, they’re favorite guns are flamers, meltas and shotguns
@sudden compass also holy shit it is vegapunk
They’re specialized in hive warfare
their entire thing is being religious so yeah flamer checks out
Which is a fun combination
Yup
They’ll prolly pray before flashing a gang sign and blowing your head off with a shotgun
Ah yes
Basically the crips but they pray to Jesus before smoking you

Cartel members more like it
Lol
Most likely not because
Do you trust an Ogryn with a fucking Melta

I am the ogryn, so yes

Gang warfare is common
Fair enough

Honestly if anything I want the Ogryn to have the Heavy Bolter
Bonus points if it looks like it was ripped off of the fucking stand/mount
There was that thing with the necron lord just flying his space ship out of the planet causing a bunch of damage
What a weird place
Has Brunt actually been seen working in the armory now
It's been a while since I've actually played Darktide

College

Nope
Fuck
I fuckin wish
What other melee weapons, besides a big crusher hammer, does Ogryn even get access to in the tabletop anyway?
Charonites get lighting claws but they’re not a thing anymore. They get powerhammers and powerpicks in munda, a variety of other weird weapons like polearms
Ogryn with a pole arm sounds awesome
Power weapons sound like they'd just work like the power sword, blegh
We get the broken dookie power weapons, if only we got the good stuff
I have not is it something you would recommend?
It's good if you like xcomish games
Thought that was the diablo clone?
Inquisitor is
Thinking about it I'd also like some cawdor/full on ecclesiarchy themed outfits
It's very very fun and also my very first foray into Warhammer
You get to put different upgrades on multiple different tech priests and turn them into a Magos of whatever you want
Also attaching different augmentations on their backs and I think other parts of their body, I forget
Pasqal is my favorite rt character tbh
Different weapons for different builds as well
You can most certainly make a tech priest do some of the silly things he does
You also have other units like servitors or skitarii
And every tech priest has a servoskull, which can with different builds do different things
I always thought that
A Warhammer ARPG
Would probably have the potential to be the most fun
Although if I were to write the story, the protagonist dies no matter what
Kinda similar to 2077 except you don't even get 6 months or soulkilled
You just fucking die

Something something Grimdark something something "Journey not the destination"
I wonder what gear the T'au would give Ogyrns for fighting.
Would they give them little drones to help them out.
They’d most likely get an overseer drone for coordination
As for armor prolly better armor
For guns they’d likely still get ripper guns
Maybe some weird pulse blaster built durable enough
But that’s more unlikely
Do T'au have any implants like how the Imperium has Bone 'ead implants?
Yes
The tau have cybernetics and stuff
I don’t know if they have anything like the bone ‘ead implant
But they do have other things
Stuff like the puretide combat engram
Could the t'au reverse engineer a such an implant?
Just be sure to shoot the correct cultists and not the ones on our side
Actually, what happens to any admech that are left behind on a t'au captured planet?
It depends
Usually they get killed or sent for “re education” or re education
They’re fanatics
So probably dead then.
We actually see this in one of the dark coil books
Holy shit could you imagine bone 'ead but it actually works?
I'd love to see a tau aligned xenarite tech priest
or just y'know, educating the ogryn
Yeah
Huh. The t'au kind of have a love and hate view on servitors.
Love the idea of it being voluntary, just hate the actual result.
Well it’s not voluntary lol
Servitors are prisoners
And criminals
Then again the Tau also do horrific things
With their own people as prisoners and criminals
Yeah its just another totalitarian empire with a cleaner veneer
Hail aun’va
Oh yeah and also
Actual food
No more goop
Actual noodles

Nah bro I'm an enclaves fan, gtfo with that ethereal shit
did you guys ever look at a plasma gun and feel the urge to eat it
it looks so tasty
"STICK SOME IRON INTO YOUR MOUTH AND PULL THE TRIGGER"
I wonder if we will have a bon that turns itself into a rot fly sometime soon 🤔
In darktide
As like a new boss possibly
Honestly had an idea for that being implementefd
Basically throughout the level have a more unique looking BoN appear
You kill it
Move on
Next attempt has it be bigger and more "vicious"/playful
You kill it
Finally you meet it again, but then it explodes in a viscera of pox covered gore
and out of it's previous shell, it's a rot fly
and it is pissed at your group specficially
You broke their heart
so it will break you
Fatshark please make this happen 🙏
Sorry ✋. Only true Aun'va Screamers in this discord. No Farsight Hipsters allowed.
E.C. Bless the Orange and White, and NOBODY else!
Yeah I would imagine it being a special boss though
Similar to the Karnak Twins
I genuinely liked them harassing you throughout the level
As they try to pull you out only to realize that you're too deep in
And although it might be a bit cringe/overused
I definitely think a Plague Marine boss would be a banger. If done right, it would genuinely be kinda terrifying
But after some more unique bosses
Instead of 1 you could be fighting 3 of them
Just my thoughts on if plague marines were added in
Honestly my thoughts are that
Chaos Marines are supposed to be more deadly than regular
Due to having access to Daemon shit
Magics, Sorceries
Beneficial and NOT beneficial mutations
It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for 1 to show up the whole death gaurd would be more plausible
And so actually having a Chaos Marine just be a huge threat would be refreshing since a lot of the times they're considered fodder
That is also true.
A warband would probably be there
I would love if they eventually did this tbh
vectoriums are actually hugely malleable as the main modus operandi of the death guard
"For all its theoretical cohesion, in reality the Death Guard Legion is broken up across thousands of galactic war zones, often at the whims of Chaos Lords, champions, and the like. These warbands vary hugely in size and composition, but all are known as vectoriums. Those that fight together for any length of time will be named by their leader, and will often adopt – or simply manifest – a unifying colour scheme. Most vectoriums are drawn from maladictums or colonies of the same plague company, but some can be more disparate still."
now EXACTLY just the one marine? probably not, but chaos marines act in small units to support cults relatively often
especially since there's 2 hives, i could see a death guard squad spread out across the planet such that you'd only fight the one at a time
especially if they possess some of that characteristic astartes arrogance
that's from 8th edition lore
Yeah tbh I was thinking like
"I have the power of chaos and I'm a super soldier. I can take down 4 people"

I corrected myself changed death gaurd to warband ***
yeah and i mean chaos units can go way smaller than a warband
especially if they have a plan
Tbh I can imagine fighting one at first as like
A sampler
And then when you actually successfully take one down
They take you seriously
I reckon 3s a good number to fight
And decide to fucking gang up on you as a gang of 3
Like I can imagine at first they laugh at you.
Make fun of you because like
You're four rejects
You were sent to die
i think 3 would be either absurd or nerf the marines too much via Inverse Ninja Law
Even after being promoted you're basically still fodder
i like the idea instead that they'd be spread out across the war effort
I also thought about it being a word bearer preacher.
Essentially spreading the word of Chaos
like remember any boss still has to be canonically beatable
Tbf
Chaos Spawn, Beasts of Nurgle, etc.
But fair
word bearers do the whole "sneak in as only a few marines at a time to build a massive cult army" shtick a lot
but its not only them
many chaos marine legions or warbands are capable of it
True. Just thought about a word bearer first because like
They're the first ones I think of when
But then again Darktide is all about the less important stuff
Your characters would literally be background characters at best in a book
So having a unique or even less known Warband/chapter would be interesting to see
if chaos marines are ever brought in i think itd be cool if it was a brand new warband
i already like the Your Dudes stuff they have already, would be down to see what they'd do for Chaos marines
Also there's the fact that despite the Nurgle Marines being quite
a nurglite warband that prefers the M.O. of our enemies in darktide
rotund
They're still fast as fuck
Which I can barely imagine since look at them
But apparently their speed is still just as good as when they weren't filled with 15 trillion different bacteria and viruses
I dont think chubbyshark will ever do this tho
Along with maggots
we'll fight eldar
I think they would but only like
6 years into the game's lifespan
statistically, anything happening at all to your particular world in the galaxy is very rare as it is
It's all about that Moebian steel baybee

so the places where interesting things happen also are likely to have interesting people go to them
Majority of the imperium thi k astartes are legend / propaganda iirc
propaganda no
but yes most people would go forever without seeing one
because space marines tend to only go to places where interesting things happen
if a space marine is showing up to your planet it means something interesting is happening
read: a giant horrible war
I mean I have never seen a modern Tank in action because I live in a first world country, in relative peace.
But that doesn't mean that I know that Modern Tanks exist
It's kinda like that except the average Imperial citizen probably doesn't live in peace at all

not peaceful i dont think, everyones drinking space lead in 40k
The Dark Angels arrive in Tertium because there's a fallen

but theres a difference between your neighbors blasting each other to smithereens with home-built boltpistols and Something Interesting

adding onto that analogy, if a tank is rolling through your neighborhood probably means that there's Fun about to go down
and you should probably get out of there yourself
Honestly, I genuinely think humans in 40k are more durable than like
Us
Something something Tianmen square
i just think theyre generally insane at least in the hive worlds
And I mean like genetically since
Catachan shouldn't be survivable but it is.
which hold most of the human population IIRC
Same for the regular hive worlds
Humans need a variety of nutrients and foods to keep us
Functional
I doubt the Imperium has that
That's sorta government propaganda wouldn't it be
corpsestarch has all the necessary calories and nutrients at bargain prices
Even with the ultra processed foods that are given.
corpsestarch: eat your heart out
Yeah but generally that's only for emergencies.
Generally

Some Necromunda cults really love making the stuff for some reason

the POINT im trying to make is that darktide is already a place where Interesting Things are happening
and so interesting people, like space marines, can show up and still have it be believable
everything is fine no protesters here 
now if we were doing an Agri World-themed Farming Simulator game
itd probably be strange for space marines to show up
But that aside, I genuinely think that baseline humans in 40k are actually built slightly different
Especially since people live on planets like Catachan
And somehow haven't died out there
There seems to be alot of British people in the 42nd millenia
the fact that abhumans exist is proof that humanity has deviated for one reason or another so this is probably
so
Tbf Darktide is supposed to be the more
"We're investigating the average cult." Type of thing
Although Grendyl is probably shitting himself a little because he has to use random convicts
that sounds like the tagline of a dark heresy module, i think we're A LITTLE past that in darktide
Yeah that's the vibes I had gathered but who knows , it would be interesting to see how they would balance astartes
we're less at "Rannick & The Gang Check Out The Warehouse" and more "Holy shit the city is in full warfare get every prisoner a gun"
Yeah I have a mini theory that essentially
During the colony settling age, humanity kinda changed themselves a little bit to be more resilient.
Like for example, surviving off of less food than normal, being slightly more strong. Not enough to be superhuman or have heavy deviation
But just enough so that they can survive the bullshit that the galaxy has
You know old world humans only ate once a week if we were lucky
why do you think no DAoT nerds spliced themselves to be space elves?
We would forage yeah but i mean a big meal like a deer or something
I mean they probably did. I think the various abhumans are like
A result of that.
I definitely think Ogryns were originally meant to be big dumb servants
Very interesting we have a sense that goes off when we havnt eaten for awhile we hear better see better and run faster ect ect
Since there are implications that their brains are
Dunno if humans these days have this still
out of nowhere but you know whats funny to think about?
that water can hold weight that land can't
like
all of our biggest guns are all naval guns
but if we tried to make a landship or otherwise mount those guns on vehicles
the ground wouldnt support it
but water is like
I mean it can.
But it's easier to say
Put it on a platform that's floating in the water.
Rather than dragging it through mud
water
like 75%
71%
Apparently
Water
That just blows my mind
Yeah most of it is underground and condensed in the core
We have explored less of the ocean than the moon.
But also the ocean is basically fucking boring. Like 90% of it is empty as fuck
It's basically a desert underneath a fuck ton of water
It's really hard to deal w the pressure down there too iv heard
Most interesting life is near the surface
Oh 100%
Ocean gate moment

How was that allowed to happen 
There is a reason why submarine construction is taken seriously
The CEO purposely cut corners and broke conventions
And while innovation is nice, there was several times that the submarine creaked
And groaned
Oh really??! That's actually really bad
well the moon is hardly covered with a city of gold either
He seemed to genuinely believe his bullshit as well since he was in the sub.
And the submarine uh
imploded
I heard it was just a like millionaire who wanted to like do a hobby thing
Well yeah that was the other passengers
That's actually really bad
i think the thing is just it's way easier to look at the moon
Oh for sure 
Tbf there are actually a ton of good minerals and shit underneath there as well
And if we manage to establish a colony there, we could genuinely have a ton of new resources and other shit
Most of the nzs resource is all underwater rocks and oil and that
We have these clusters scientists want to study there worth millions but we have a thing protecting them from mining except the new government thinks its a good idea to sell our resource
you referring to something like this?
It's never a good idea to mine around people
the Lunar Titanium Mines sounds metal as fuck
Including some unique ones. I think Helium-3 is abundant on the moon, which is required for one possible pathway to nuclear fusion.
Also that yes
Basically the Moon is underrated as a colony establishment
Better than Mars ATM arguably
failure to adhere to strict regulation and you get sent to the Mare Undarum Titanium Pits
Lmao Elon thinking Mars colonization is possible 
Yeah
The CEO imploded due to his own hubris
A reverse Icarus situation
it's possible, just putting the cart before the horse
just putting the mars before the moon
iirc one conference i went to had the plan being a lunar colony first to more feasibly prepare for journeys past
We won't colonize space 
It is 100% possible.
But it'd take a lot of time, a lot of resources, and the people on Mars are not gonna have a fun time.
And we have more pressing matters atm
The first people sent there will die and it will be that way for like atleast the next 100 years

And that's after a couple hundred years of research i reckon
do you have like a crystal ball or something?
you seem awfully sure about this
Probably not.
Also the fact that they aren't gonna permanently be there
It'd be a rotating type thing
But it would take hundreds of years to make Mars actually liveable for people
I must mark this down somewhere so in 1000 years people will be like wow
Plausible but wont happen during our lifetime
and it will probably be the Chinese at this rate
imagine being the last generation before we discover how to lobsterify ourselves
Humans probably go extinct before even getting close is my prediction
thatd be such bullshit
I hope to God Elon doesn't contribute to Mars colonization.
If Elon does
I swear to fuck
I hope his rocket explodes

never took you for a proud Blue Origin Patriot!
Would be
But hopefully I'll be rich enough to at least preserve my body so that they can revive me when THAT technology comes
If the first feet on Mars aren't Bezos', I don't want to see them!
Elon barely contributes to SpaceX either, he just owns the company
And most of the SpaceX employees uh
Don't like him
Actually most of his employees don't like him
Listen I don't mind his weird immature mannerisms
I think I've actually done a couple of them which is the worst part
I think he's a nutcase , smart but nutcase
The issue I have is that he's a fucking asshole
Smart is a
...
Not what I would use for him

Well... edu
No
this is the silver lining of current dystopia, the dumb fuck can see the shit we think of him and it really does get to him
