The southerners are the innsmouth equivalent

[bold veldt]

im american i dont understand

[crystal forum]

also part british?

[bold veldt]

not in the stereotype way, i just dont know any of that

[crystal forum]

you got all the wrong draws

[vagrant fox]

Why not khorne, the superior mutator

[bold veldt]

cuz theres nurle

nurgle

everywhere

[crystal forum]

and you decided to live in greenland

voluntarily

[vagrant fox]

Father did, no one else

[crystal forum]

do you fish

[vagrant fox]

yea

[crystal forum]

fisherman sigsen over here

[vagrant fox]

But nurgle is stinky

[crystal forum]

watch out when he handles your models he might get fish juice on them

[bold veldt]

thats the point

stinky clothes

better than vet carapace #1256

[vagrant fox]

More likely, fat from sheep guts tbh

[bold veldt]

so hes nurgle stinky?

[crystal forum]

is that what you do to survive in greenland

wear recently dead sheep skin

[vagrant fox]

I'll agree to it if they let us go shirtless again

[crystal forum]

like anakin does to his steed on hoth

[winter vessel]

I can't remember if someone was leading me on, but i heard that in old 40k lore, when someone steps into the liquid residue left behind by a great unclean one. it causes a nurgling to form inside the host, to which case, said nurgling emerges from either one of two main Orifices...

[vagrant fox]

Nah in Greenland they use seals and polar bears for that stuff

[crystal forum]

but you're not inuit

[arctic talon]

I mean probably not

[crystal forum]

faker

[arctic talon]

But you’d prolly get some horrifying disease

[vagrant fox]

Imagine, nurgling shits

[arctic talon]

There is a disease that makes you basically explode into a nurgling

[winter vessel]

elaborate

[arctic talon]

A nurgling grows inside you, and your guts explode out

Into a nurgling

[bold veldt]

what do we think of a power sword gladius?

[arctic talon]

Fun design

Power field any melee weapon is cool

[vagrant fox]

I assimilated but the Inuits thought we were Danish so we kept getting harassed
I couldn't finish my transformation before we moved again

[crystal forum]

bruh you'll never assimilate with the inuits

you'll always be an outsider

[vagrant fox]

I just want a 2h power axe lads

[arctic talon]

Best we can do is power maul /j

[winter vessel]

two handed? or hold two power axes

[vagrant fox]

Both, either

[bold veldt]

i cant find a good hilt that isnt obscenely large

[crystal forum]

i know people who worked with inuits for 40 years and had inuit wives and still were outsiders

[vagrant fox]

I actually got along well with the other kids, I learnt to speak Greenlandic before anything else
Not that I'd want to live there, winters were brutal

[arctic talon]

From the old MK3 calth kit

[bold veldt]

i tried lads

[vagrant fox]

Sorta

[bold veldt]

no ps hilt looks "gladius" enough

i cba to get extended extended

[arctic talon]

Oh for Darktide

[bold veldt]

CALTH😭

DONT LET THE WORD BEARERS DOCK

[arctic talon]

Also this one from the upgrade sprue

[vagrant fox]

Do 40k Ultramarines not get as much Greco Roman stuff for tabletop?

[arctic talon]

It’s a bit long though

[bold veldt]

DONT LET THEM ON YOUR SHIP HONORIUS

[arctic talon]

They do

It’s just on upgrade sprues

Or stuck in lore

[bold veldt]

i really like Luciel

short ass story

idk why his character hit so hard

[arctic talon]

There’s this older dude

https://preview.redd.it/ed5a3venvhi91.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2cd56ba74e94d0c079afff4be8ac49ed2ecd83b8

Lt cassius also has a gladius

But he was a limited time mini so eat shit

[vagrant fox]

More of a spatha I guess

[winter vessel]

Gladius are probably one of my favorite swords in terms of melee weaponry

[bold veldt]

gladius' are awesome

sound coolest

look coolest

best preferred if i needed a melee

[arctic talon]

30k has a thing

Where since every space marine legion

Is treated as it’s own faction

They get much more attention lol

[winter vessel]

its too bad i was mostly on the receiving end of it in FH

[arctic talon]

Any aesthetic you see for a legion in 30k

[bold veldt]

INCREDIBLI!!

[vagrant fox]

Very interesting, I always thought UM should lean into the romeboo aesthetic harder but maybe I just haven't looked

[arctic talon]

That aesthetic lived into 40k

[winter vessel]

outside of Dom mercy killing his lobotomized wife in Gears of War 2. this is the only other exception where i've cried about a video game.

[bold veldt]

real

FH voice lines bring fear into a mans soul

[arctic talon]

Stuff like the Suzarians exist in 40k still

But as the UM’s honor guard

[winter vessel]

i never really liked the golden feathered face plate on the UM's honor guard

[arctic talon]

It used to look uglier in 30k

Lol

The original 30k design is evil

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/70/UM_Invictarus_Centurion.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150604213440

[winter vessel]

"Engin miskunn!" followed by the crotch slammer 3000

[bold veldt]

evilly beautiful

[arctic talon]

UM aesthetically have never been super duper Roman

But they have had that stolen Roman drip forever lol

It’s just not represented often because curse of poster child faction

[winter vessel]

I always viewed the UM as the Athenians and the Minotaurs are the Spartans

[bold veldt]

i hate the primaris

simple as

they were originally awesome

but now they just replaced all firstborn

and i like firstborn

[arctic talon]

Hasn’t happened yet and the distinction doesn’t matter much in lore

Primaris use firstborn gear

Firstborn use primaris gear

Marines are flexible with what they use

[bold veldt]

all of the 2nd company being primaris makes me not happy

[arctic talon]

They’re not

Lore wise

[winter vessel]

I started out in 40k in 9th edition, but my exposure to Firstborn Astartes was mainly from SM1

[arctic talon]

Also 2nd company is the fucking company of Theseus

Lol

[bold veldt]

ok

[arctic talon]

They all die every. 10-20 years

[bold veldt]

still

asthetically i hate primaris

[arctic talon]

The knee pads?

[vagrant fox]

But the tactical marines

[bold veldt]

just in general

nothing beats MkIV

[arctic talon]

What part I’m just curious

[bold veldt]

specifically the helm

[arctic talon]

Okay but firstborn in the 40k era don’t use MK4 often

[bold veldt]

ik

[arctic talon]

So you just prefer the MK7 helmet

Yeah that tracks

[bold veldt]

well no i still prefer MkIV

[winter vessel]

that's the only reason why Primaris get a pass, because the helm is based on design of the Maximus pattern, which is my favorite Space marine armor

[arctic talon]

The MKX helmet is just MKIV 2 I’m ngl

[bold veldt]

im a night lords fan

[arctic talon]

Well you don’t need to worry about primaris then?

Idk

[bold veldt]

meh

[arctic talon]

I like some parts of MKX

Tbh

[bold veldt]

when i first played sm2 my biggest gripe was no firstborn cept the deathwatch

and their 5 minutes of screentime

[arctic talon]

I like most of the armor

I just don’t really like the knee pads

Tbh

The weird flare

Looks weird

[winter vessel]

i never did like the gorget that's added to the chest armor

[bold veldt]

the default pads?

[winter vessel]

looks odd

[arctic talon]

Okay I’m ngl what were you expecting

[arctic talon]

It’s based on MK8

Also it looks like shit in space marine 2 tbh

[bold veldt]

that not all wouldve been primaris

[arctic talon]

I mean that’s a lot of effort

For very little

I’m just saying

We know 2nd company isn’t all primaris

[bold veldt]

yea but i like complaining

[arctic talon]

I’m going to dunk you in to the meat shredder smh my head

[bold veldt]

im a part of the problem

[queen laurel]

yep a space marine fan alright

[arctic talon]

💀

Hush

Don’t be like that

[bold veldt]

hi bulgur

[arctic talon]

2nd company still has devastator squads, tactical squads, Ect. As formations in it

[vagrant fox]

The worst part about primaris is the naming of their gear for me

[arctic talon]

Though primaris can also be in those formations in lore

[arctic talon]

The naming is bleh

[bold veldt]

i dont like how all their weapons look the samer

[arctic talon]

I’m fine with bolt carbine though

That’s an existing thing lol

[bold veldt]

i prefer the old gear look

[arctic talon]

I think primaris gear looks distinct

I think saying it doesn’t is weird

[queen laurel]

sup montov

[bold veldt]

except the bolt rifle

[arctic talon]

They’re still shaped lol

[winter vessel]

i was so glad this recent update allowed more variety for each classes ranged weapons

[vagrant fox]

It's a vibes thing but they also feel too neat and clean for me

[arctic talon]

Bolt rifle is ironically my least favorite

Of the primaris designs

[bold veldt]

yes

lorewise many dont follow the same ideal of putting a bunch of oaths and shit on their armor

BORING

[arctic talon]

They literally do

[winter vessel]

specifically?

[bold veldt]

ive read in lore they dont

[arctic talon]

Primaris literally practice oaths of the moment

Which is a 30k era thing

But they literally do that

[bold veldt]

not all primaris are 30k

[arctic talon]

No

But they practice oaths of the moment

[vagrant fox]

Psh, anti gravity tanks. You're an Imperial put some tracks on your vehicles like a man

[arctic talon]

[winter vessel]

my 2nd favorite "bolt" primary weapon to use is the Heavy one.

[arctic talon]

So like

I’m not sure what your argument is

[bold veldt]

i dont have one

jus bored

[arctic talon]

Can I get a source primaris don’t engage in oaths of the moment

At least

Because that directly contradicts 8e and 10e lore

[bold veldt]

i didnt argue they didnt do that

my main argument is the lack of general distinction between one and the other

[arctic talon]

Then what was this

I mean yeah they’re meant to be the same

Primaris are literally just bigger space marines

[queen laurel]

are you just doing an Eternal now and just arguing us because you can

[winter vessel]

5'5 vs 5'6 sibling rivalry

[bold veldt]

i dont mean firstborn and primaris

[arctic talon]

Between primaris squads?

Like minis?

[bold veldt]

primaris marines lack distinction between each other

[winter vessel]

aesthetic wise?

[arctic talon]

That argument can also be made about the tabletop

[bold veldt]

yes

[arctic talon]

The base tactical and assault kit had almost no customization options originally

[bold veldt]

im just extra

[arctic talon]

It was only in their final iteration did they get it

And that was mostly the tactical kit

[bold veldt]

im big on details

[arctic talon]

Getting 1 alt body

And 2 alt helmets + alt pads

[bold veldt]

its just a mental thing

[vagrant fox]

Actually I just remembered the stupid external leg cables on the gravis armour, that's the worst

[arctic talon]

Also primaris do have distinct armor

In lore tbf

[bold veldt]

primaris are all really similar, me no like

[arctic talon]

So like again

They have the same aesthetic thing going on

The minis are a blanker slate

Because GW wants you to customize them

Do I wish that the kit came with more bits yeah

But that doesn’t change the lore

So like idk lol

[winter vessel]

wasn't there a story somewhere on how Two Primaris marines that were assigned to different chapters miss working directly together. they called themselves the "Greyshields" or Unnumbered Sons of the Primarchs

[bold veldt]

dawg thats a huge number of primaris

the unnumbered sons were THOUSANDS of primaris

[vagrant fox]

I can't explain why but I hate these cables with a passion

[bold veldt]

but yes

[arctic talon]

They look bad

[winter vessel]

yes. my question is that i thought i remember reading a specific excerpt where they openly say that to one another

[bold veldt]

okay Gravis armor gets the cool pass for me

[arctic talon]

Lol

[arctic talon]

Yeah it’s in dark imperium

It’s a kind of emotional thing since they’re prolly never seeing each other again lol

[bold veldt]

the mortificators dude?

[arctic talon]

Despite essentially being a tight nit group

[arctic talon]

No the UM dude and

I forgot

It was a dif gene line

[bold veldt]

..

heh

in Godblight?

[arctic talon]

No

[bold veldt]

[arctic talon]

Earlier

[bold veldt]

[arctic talon]

I forgot the dudes name

It’s the fucking RG dude

[bold veldt]

[arctic talon]

That’s the UM dudes name yeah

[bold veldt]

Rvane guard? what

[arctic talon]

Wdym what

[bold veldt]

justinius joins mortificators

[arctic talon]

In the unnumbered sons part

No

Not justinius

Fuck I don’t remember lol

[bold veldt]

Felix?

[arctic talon]

Felix and someone else

I forgot the other person

[bold veldt]

THE TETRARCH😭

[arctic talon]

Bruh

[bold veldt]

i dont remember a RG

[arctic talon]

I don’t care that much about SM I’m ngl 💀 I just dislike misinformation a lot

[bold veldt]

i can flip through the book rq

[arctic talon]

I can check

I had the pdf one moment

[bold veldt]

[queen laurel]

GOTREK GURNISSON

Honestly same, half of it was forgotten the next day

[bold veldt]

i read it atleast a year ago

[arctic talon]

Almost 6 years ago now

💀

I’m ngl

[bold veldt]

ive only been reading for about 5-6

[arctic talon]

Of all the start of edition books it was the least bad I’ve ever read

The worst one is the 9e one by far

[bold veldt]

which is?

[vagrant fox]

It had some great parts

[arctic talon]

Pariah nexus one

It’s by gav thrope

[bold veldt]

i gotcha

[arctic talon]

So you know you’re in for a “good” time

[bold veldt]

gav has some misses

my personal least favorite books ever are the space wolf omnibus

[arctic talon]

It’s got primaris in a rhino lol

Oh and also the uh

[bold veldt]

my favorite series is Night Lords.. im biased

[arctic talon]

Cryptek is a character I guess

I forgot most of that book

And I have no intent in re reading it

[bold veldt]

good, its a fever dream

[vagrant fox]

Gav's a bit hit and miss but when he cooks I love it

[bold veldt]

best you forget

[arctic talon]

Gav is good at worldbuilding

Send him to codex prison

For my sake

[vagrant fox]

I'll take the chance for another Luther tier story

[crystal forum]

[queen laurel]

i need to look into chinese music more

[arctic talon]

It’s not with the older generation

Because

You know

[crystal forum]

ye

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Cultural cross pollination is a lot more alive now though

Between mainland China and Taiwan

Sucks for me because I need to learn simplified better

[crystal forum]

i should learn mandarin one day

[vagrant fox]

Even with what's going on in Hong Kong?

[arctic talon]

Why can’t mainland China use the superior type of characters

[arctic talon]

Ye

[vagrant fox]

Or did go on

[arctic talon]

Simplified is weird

I don’t like it

[vagrant fox]

Wild, I'd be spooked

[arctic talon]

It ruins the meaning of a lot of wars

Lol

[crystal forum]

what do you learn in taiwan

[queen laurel]

Speaking of Chinese it is funny watching them like take over a good chunk of the US property and stuff

[arctic talon]

Mostly academic crap

I got forced to go to cram school

[crystal forum]

so like flowery chinese

[arctic talon]

LOL

Oh

[crystal forum]

ah shit

[arctic talon]

Oh you’re talking about the Taiwanese accent?

Lol

[crystal forum]

cram school should be in the geneva convention

[arctic talon]

Like the stereotypical one

[crystal forum]

you said you're learning simplified so what did you learn before

[arctic talon]

Oh I’m not learning simplified

I’m just uh

Figuring it out?

[crystal forum]

lol

[arctic talon]

I learned traditional Chinese characters

[bold veldt]

so learning

[arctic talon]

Hush

I know like

70% of the words

[queen laurel]

OK wolf I need to learn a high engagement chinese technique

what happens if i go up to a chinese and tell him his language is gay taiwanese

[arctic talon]

It’s the other way around

With the accent stereotype

[crystal forum]

is it the chinese parents in your head that are shunning you into thinking you speak chinese

[arctic talon]

The Taiwanese accent is considered

[arctic talon]

No

[queen laurel]

OK so go up to a Taiwanese and tell him his language is gay chinese

[arctic talon]

I’m fluent

[arctic talon]

They’d prolly laugh

It’s literally a stereotype

That Taiwanese people are dumb

And uh

[crystal forum]

i bet you have a california accent

[arctic talon]

What’s a better word to say this

Sexually promiscuous

[winter vessel]

and the other, way, you disappear from the face of the earth on Mainland China

[crystal forum]

bing chilling dude

[arctic talon]

For English yeah

For Chinese no

Lol

[queen laurel]

ice cream dude?

[arctic talon]

I have a really heavy Taiwanese accent

I sound too cutesy for a dude

[crystal forum]

i dont know any chinese words

[arctic talon]

According to mainland people

Smh

[crystal forum]

but imagine surfer dude speaking mandarin

[arctic talon]

My bad I guess

[crystal forum]

gay

[arctic talon]

But yeah there’s some pretty offensive stereotypes for every Chinese accent

There’s worse ones I could go into regarding the Taiwanese one but like meh

[winter vessel]

sometimes when i work my job in Retail i get Chinese customers who speak their language to me, as if just by looks, they assume i understand them just because im 1/8 chinese on my mother's side

[crystal forum]

lmao

[arctic talon]

I’m half Japanese half Chinese

[winter vessel]

and when they do that i put on the most country hick accent

to fuck with them

[arctic talon]

Except I can’t read 99% of Japanese /hj

[vagrant fox]

I heard shanghaiers were perceived like that in the 80s or something, does the stereotype just shift around

[arctic talon]

They still are

[crystal forum]

not weeb enough

[arctic talon]

The other stereotype is they’re rude

[crystal forum]

half japanese, half chinese, fully hated by both i bet

[arctic talon]

This is why Taiwan is great they don’t care

I look more Chinese anyways lol

[winter vessel]

born and raised in the states. majority Filipino. but 1/8 chinese, which makes my mother 1/4, and gran gran 1/2 chinese. but when you look at my family photos, you can already tell the 1/8th portion went into my eyes

[queen laurel]

that's is a crazy combination

[arctic talon]

Neat

[queen laurel]

you're Filipino?

[crystal forum]

i learned the other day that my white ass norman root family dates all the way back to 1689

[vagrant fox]

I used to know a 1/4 Japanese girl from Taiwan who got on fine in Japan but she was a weeb so

[arctic talon]

I’m more Chinese then Japanese culturally, but I was born and raised in the USA Lol

[vagrant fox]

you're such a fruit

[crystal forum]

i'm fruity

[bold veldt]

[winter vessel]

i work with people in my age range, who already have back and joint pain. I'm lucky that i only have one that's on my ankle from lifting heavy packages. but yeah, if global disaster or conflict doesn't do us in, its gonna be body failure that takes us first

[bold veldt]

chat clip that

i stay inside and quote books all day, i am NOT surviving manual labor

[vagrant fox]

From what, early arthritis or something questionmark

[crystal forum]

not stretching i bet

[bold veldt]

lots of clumsiness as a child

[crystal forum]

remember to stretch

[bold veldt]

i hit a lot of shelves falling off the bed

i was constantly bruised to shit

[crystal forum]

i have pebbles in my knee

i broke my finger

[vagrant fox]

A lot of folk early-mid 30s seem to have really shitty backs already
It's so over

[bold veldt]

my mom broke my finger once

[crystal forum]

did you kill her

[bold veldt]

i should specify, NOT on purpose

[crystal forum]

[bold veldt]

i was 5

[crystal forum]

[vagrant fox]

Like my friend what was made to do farmwork as a child and now he has scoliosis and can't even stand straight, the bozo

[bold veldt]

yeaaa get well soon

[queen laurel]

child labor moment

[winter vessel]

a freshman i was playing basketball with didn't give me enough time to get my hands into catching it, so he bent my middle finger further to the point the tip could almost reach the edge of my wrist

[crystal forum]

this is why you dont join the military

protect your back

[bold veldt]

ouchie

[crystal forum]

always lift with your legs

make other people lift for you

preferably children

[bold veldt]

too late, i have horrible lower back pain

[crystal forum]

me too

[bold veldt]

posture is worse than the pythagorean theorem

[crystal forum]

montov can i give you work advice

[vagrant fox]

I wanted to join the military but apparently they don't take people with a mental diagnosis

[bold veldt]

dont tell them the diagnosis

[vagrant fox]

Which is lame

[crystal forum]

i learned after the fact that my ADHD would have barred me anways

[queen laurel]

you have a mental diagnosis?

[bold veldt]

too big brained

[tough haven]

Crazy that ADHD counts

[crystal forum]

i think it got changed

[vagrant fox]

Not thst they had access to all of my personal documents

[crystal forum]

because armies are desperate since they cant lure suckers anymore

[vagrant fox]

There's still mandatory service here so ADHDers can still suck it

[winter vessel]

I once messed with a friend of mine who was trying to install his tv and it wasn't working. so i said "did you make sure to plug in the ADHD cord?" and he didn't know what that actually meant.

[bold veldt]

im american and love guns, they dont need to lure me in

[vagrant fox]

Another curse from the Irish

[crystal forum]

just buy one

[winter vessel]

I once had a middle school crush who was irish

[bold veldt]

i have

[crystal forum]

i went into a gun store here for fun today

looked at shit i'll never own

owner was nice

[vagrant fox]

Can't Americans just walk into a Walmart and exit with a bakers dozen guns

[bold veldt]

no

not every walmart has a gun section

only the cool ones

i was in a bass pro shop and this guy just handed me a shotgun

he complimented my form

[vagrant fox]

Sounds unpatriotic

[winter vessel]

i actually dreamed that when i was asleep, except...it was a mexican store

[crystal forum]

he has a musket from 1916

just 20 years older and i'd been able to import to canada without papers

[bold veldt]

stereotypes aside, i like to brag that im a crazy shot

[vagrant fox]

I got to play with a M1917 Enfield once, best day of that year

[bold veldt]

[winter vessel]

lucky

[queen laurel]

damn

[crystal forum]

i'd like a winchester 1895 one day

[bold veldt]

that year, cause Sigsen makes every year better than the last

[crystal forum]

the pinnacle of lever actions

not some henry shit

[bold veldt]

hey

hey

hey

watch what you say

[vagrant fox]

It has been trendier upwards true

[crystal forum]

old gun bad

[bold veldt]

old gun GUD

[crystal forum]

also

the 1895 was made by browning

so you have to respect it

[bold veldt]

bahh

[median spire]

adhd is when you got

[bold veldt]

browning fan

[median spire]

high definition in the brain

[crystal forum]

DONT YOU DARE

[winter vessel]

the oldest gun i've held was an M14

[bold veldt]

bah

[crystal forum]

you little shit

[bold veldt]

im american

[crystal forum]

john moses browning is

the best american ever

[vagrant fox]

Browning was good but perfected in Belgium

[crystal forum]

he died before he finished

[winter vessel]

I do give credit to Browning for making the M1911

[crystal forum]

imagine making not one but multiple guns that are still used 100+ years later

[vagrant fox]

I thought it was good bait

[winter vessel]

i'd want to own one

[vagrant fox]

FN Model D is lovely though

[crystal forum]

oh the bar

well a bar flavor

[vagrant fox]

Madsen machine gun still in use in the Brazilian favelas, strongest gun ever invented

[crystal forum]

czechs also had a good bar

more LMG than the original

BAR is just weirdly a great gun that nobody in military procurement understood

goes to show that generals are stupid

[bold veldt]

we made a full auto 30.06 before a semi auto variant

like

thats america personified

[crystal forum]

my fav bar is the colt monitor

[winter vessel]

Type 92

[crystal forum]

french inspired mess

you can tell it's french because it looks partly like a sex device

[winter vessel]

so many rims it hurts my eyes

[crystal forum]

ribbed for my pleasure

[vagrant fox]

Man I love the chauchat

My inner ouiaboo is breaking free

[crystal forum]

tf

never say that again

[winter vessel]

slow claps

[crystal forum]

never tell me you like the french

[winter vessel]

someone managed to make a lego mold for the chauchat

[vagrant fox]

I've tormented quebecois to make up for it

[bold veldt]

fuck the chauchat

[vagrant fox]

I got a lady to yell at me when I insisted she wasn't french, just Canadian

[dapper gyro]

Heh, that's weird.

[bold veldt]

i get ladies to yell at me too Sigsen, i understand

[dapper gyro]

Because people here don't want to be identified as French neither.

100% fake Quebecoise.

[crystal forum]

ah shit

[winter vessel]

there was a Hispanic kid i knew in Middle school that kept saying i was from Kazakhstan

[crystal forum]

dont tell me this bumblefuck is from quebec

my day is ruined

[winter vessel]

I sing Katyusha once in the school yard and rumors start flying

[crystal forum]

isnt that a russian song

[winter vessel]

yes, so it made him look more like a dumbass

[dapper gyro]

What does that song have to do with Kazach?

[vagrant fox]

She was dating a guy I played CSGO with, who would do coke as we were calling strats
Maybe not the smartest people

[crystal forum]

definitely rich to be doing coke for csgo

[vagrant fox]

No he just smuggled drugs and sold them

But perpetually somehow broke

[crystal forum]

probably those same drugs

[vagrant fox]

Probably

[winter vessel]

he just didn't know geography all that well in class, thought Kazakhs fall under the Russian spectrum

[dapper gyro]

So more 100% fake quebecoise...

[winter vessel]

that or its because he played Metro Exodus

[crystal forum]

weird for somebody to know the land of borat but not that katyusha is russian

[dapper gyro]

Even Metro series barely has anything with to do outside of Russia...

[vagrant fox]

objectively the wrong opinion unless you mean the 30.06 one

[crystal forum]

somebody show this to the mouthbreather since he blocked me

tabarnak de con

[dapper gyro]

30-06 Chauchat is lazy American trying stuff.

US military has some funny doctrine with section/squad level machinegun.

[winter vessel]

it was a weird time in Middle school. But From Katyusha i've started to learn how to sing Zvyozdnoye leto (Starry Summer), which is a song you've probably heard in Atomic heart

[dapper gyro]

They forced everyone to use the 7.62x51, but they refuse to use it in their machinegun until much later on the M60, but that thing wasn't used in LMG role, The 30-06 BAR was...

[dapper gyro]

Vietnam in the 90s has a lot of Soviet song playing on the radio.

It was nostalgia for me.

[crystal forum]

the BAR was not used widely during vietnam

@arctic talon is this chinese karaoke https://youtu.be/EaTdJ2Q5Q-w?si=ThOA4mAZQ3W-xyKZ

[late osprey]

the BAR is one of the coolest guns for me

imagine a world where that became the most popular weapon frame

[crystal forum]

isn't that already what happened

as far as automatic rifles are concerned it's pretty much the king

[arctic talon]

nah this is a performence

[crystal forum]

why is he dressed so casually

[arctic talon]

just the nature of the place he's at its a very casual place

lol

[late osprey]

i dont know of any popular rifle that looks remotely similar to the BAR unfortunately

meanwhile you've still got heirs to the perfidious and vile stg44

[crystal forum]

not on the civilian market but pretty much every country bought the BAR and modified it

[crystal forum]

ehhhh if you mean the AK platform that's mostly a myth

[late osprey]

whatever the origin they still LOOK very similar

[crystal forum]

they do and kalashnikov did steal a lot of ideas lol

[late osprey]

although i didnt know the bar caught on as much as it did

[crystal forum]

funny enough one of the more common things was for countries to shop off the bipod

something the US didn't officially do but infantry did it all the time

the BAR suffered from poor understanding from higher ups

[dapper gyro]

FN MAG/M240 is pretty much a belt feed BAR.

[shadow plover]

FN MAG my beloved

[dapper gyro]

The firing mechanism of the BAR is meant for sustaining fire, which by default is less popular for standard infantry and civilians where some kind of precision is needed.

Also, using the "stealing idea" is a big word when you can name a dozen features of any weapon system and attribute them to some earlier weapon system. This is especially true for infantry weapons since reliability is important and using proven systems is naturally the choice.

[bold veldt]

ahem M4

billions of dollars on testing new guns

puts acog on M4

better

[nocturne crest]

American model, yes. French model, no.

[bold veldt]

true, true

[nocturne crest]

There is one worse than the Chauchat and that is the Breda 30.

[bold veldt]

no argument there friend

[queen laurel]

it is genuinely funny that all of the luck of 40k decided to choose this man

and just make him the greatest hero of the imperium

[hallow basin]

Herohood always chooses you, not the other way around

[young pecan]

"chapel" in Glossia is "the worshipful place"

10/10 encrypted super secret language

[raven stone]

I mean, it's BL, so...

[hallow basin]

Isn't Glossia supposed to be low-level easy-to-use encryption that is useful because it does not require any kind of decoding? And I'm pretty sure in the books they make several points about how Glossia is flawed. The thing about it it's good enough for the tasks at hand

[young pecan]

Very true

Abnett does provide that about the language

It is funny to point at it though

Also the horrors that followed that part

[cinder orchid]

did anyone rip the new radio transmissions for the event yet?

[hallow basin]

there was a vid posted somewhere here

[cinder orchid]

i cant find it

[queen laurel]

@celest dome do you think Gorbad will appear in old world?

he is quite old even in fantasy

[summer mural]

isnt he missing his claw in that image

[celest dome]

Not sure, if he is, you might see his fortress, Bad Rock or something on the map

[queen laurel]

nah that's how it looks

One of his arms is basically bigger

[summer mural]

ah

[queen laurel]

i see

[hallow basin]

there's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWxCc-Kb23Q&t=385s

[celest dome]

Did he ever have a Claw ?

[celest dome]

If you want to check, it should be somewhere near Ekrund iirc

[queen laurel]

well he's called ironclaw because he leads the iron claw tribe and that gauntlet he has

@celest dome

his right arm was basically a giant clawed gauntlet

But it seems as time went on they seem to just made his claws less sharp

[cinder orchid]

tyvm

[celest dome]

Ok there i see it

Oh finally

[queen laurel]

FINALLY I CAN GET A CYBER MASTIFF

OK DAMN

i definitely getting the mastiff

[queen laurel]

so they're using this for the dog

[shadow plover]

yes

[raven stone]

Slightly more interested in the Arbites officer themselves, but I am happy DLC is not far off now.

I can finally do a full run

[queen laurel]

well that's good but i would love for it to be able to be changed into a KB-88 Hardcase Cyber-Mastiff

[raven stone]

without having to replay for the content

[queen laurel]

But that's Necromunda

[queen laurel]

oh yeah old world gave orcs a new type of magic

well not really new but it's unique

[celest dome]

Oh waht is it ?

[queen laurel]

here's the spells

[celest dome]

Oh that's nice, had been aluded to before iirc

[queen laurel]

oh really?

damn

[celest dome]

Ye, Troll Hag used Wind magic (forgot which) but it was meant to be a stand-in

[queen laurel]

they use death magic yeah?

in fantasy hags use death magic

but now it seems they are getting their own unique magic

[celest dome]

Think so

Also Iron Rock is on the map

[queen laurel]

WOO GORBAD

[celest dome]

So could mean that Gorbad is already quite established as the Boss

[queen laurel]

Yeah and during this time I think he's probably the greatest war boss because grimgor is still not around

[queen laurel]

Yeah I just checked they
used death magic

[summer mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZSiQ8lG0fs

is the girl in this trailer fighting tzaangors in the beginning
