Jokes aside I think hell is going to freeze over before gsc get a non character unit

arctic talon
#

Anything really

#

I’d prefer infantry

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

To fit the worker uprising/insurgent vibe more

#

Gsc are pretty well rounded on insurgent vehicles

arctic talon
#

Technical, mining truck technical, bikes

#

Not sure wtf else they’d get

#

Uhhhhhh a mining drill?

#

I guess?

#

I’d rather just GW start producing the tectonic fragdrill again

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

They do

#

The Goliath rockgrinder

#

It’s a technical

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

But it’s got a las cannon on it

queen laurel
#

Like their own equivalent of a bane blade

arctic talon
#

Tectonic fragdrill

#

Give it back

#

But make it better

arctic talon
#

Via brood bros

queen laurel

#

Tectonic fragdrill

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Big drill

queen laurel
#

and make them kamikaze ram a fortress

arctic talon
#

The poor Goliath truck would prolly break

#

Lol

So with the eye of terror becoming huge and warp users getting a hella buff, did primarchs both chaos and loyalist also get stronger?

IT IWLL FIX THE FUCKING ARMY

#

yeah im planning out my mental rules

#

also why does eveyrone use the parody account tag???

#

idk its relaly weird

outer wave
#

You don't even try to keep an account open just to see shit takes? Probably is much healthier long term to block everyone but still

plush mason
#

why are the GSC always using mining/manufactoring stuff?

crystal forum
#

hey did you guys see the video on grummz

#

you think this warhammer loser is the same

arctic talon

#

some middle aged freak with multiple skeletons in his closet

plush mason
crystal forum
#

also why do you guys use twitter

#

just fucking stop

plush mason
#

so like a mini that is literally one of those massive harvesting tractors they have turned into a fuck off weapons platform would be epic imo

rose thorn
#

yeah thats what we have

#

the rock grinder is used for alot of stuff

plush mason
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yeah, im pretty sur eits mentioned the rockginder ong the goliath is also used for meat processing and farming and shit

plush mason
#

iirc some agriworlds have what are effectively combine harvesters but the size of those old strip mining excavators

#

Guys I have a question. What do you think the least lore-friendly tabletop matchup would be?

I feel like a Tau vs Tau mirror is the one that probably makes the least sense to happen, as far as I’m aware there’s not a lot of infighting amongst Tau in general but idk if there’s anything I’m not thinking of

sacred ginkgo
#

There is always a reason

vast heart
#

Like the overall universe does a pretty good job of being written in a way where almost every tabletop matchup sorta makes sense to happen but which one is pushing it the furthest

#

Like Genestealers vs Tyranids always seemed slightly funny to me bc I don’t think the GSC forces would actively fight the Tyranids outside of being sleeper cells in whatever guard was on the planet, but I can still see it

#

Tau vs tau is the only one I can’t really think of a precedent for outside of farsight enclaves

rose thorn
rose thorn
#

Oh yeah and greyknights or sisters vs agents of the imperium

#

And deathwatch vs agents

vast heart
dapper gyro
#

DW vs GK is pretty wild.

rose thorn
dapper gyro
#

If that happens, it's mean the inquisition no longer exists.

rose thorn
#

Gks vs xenos is really hard

dapper gyro
#

It is hard but possible if they need to fight psychic xenos.

#

DW can do the same as well.

vast heart
#

Could you answer the imperial matchups with “other army was accused of heresy?”

Bc I kinda blanket excused all of the imperium matchups bc stuff like that means they expunge their own troops a fair bit

arctic talon
#

Craftworld Eldar on craftworld eldar

#

Is the weirdest imo

late osprey
#

Craftworld v Craftworld, Nid v Nid, Ork v Ork, Tau v Tau, all up there on the list of hard to explain imo

queen laurel
#

they literally fight each other out of boredom

late osprey
plush mason
#

huh

queen laurel
plush mason
#

they view mutinies as in flight entertainment

queen laurel
#

yeah they would start a brawl over who gets to keep something

plush mason
#

orks do nothing but fight

#

if they dont have something else to fight they fight each other

queen laurel
#

Even all the way from fantasy they literally fight each other so much they can't unite

#

It takes an especially vicious war boss to keep them in cohesion

plush mason
#

and even that will be short lived

queen laurel
#

Goffs literally engage in their favorite tradition of head butting contests

plush mason
#

speed freaks hold literal death run style races

shadow plover
#

Nid infighting has been explained as a tendril consuming the other one for more biological information whilst learning from the fighting tactics of the other to better the victor

dapper gyro
#

It is a way to force mutation.

late osprey
#

i figured there would be SOMETHING like that but i never saw it

queen laurel
#

if orks were truly united let me tell you one thing

#

they would have conquered a good chunk of the universe and would be hard to stop

late osprey
#

I don't know how to read, unfortunately.

dapper gyro
#

Not going to lie, reading is overrated.

#

/s just in case

late osprey
#

TRUE

That is like

#

Their main thing

late osprey
queen laurel
#

if they don't have that

#

they will kill and destroy each other

#

hell even with a leader they will kill each other for fun

opaque coyote
#

And also usually the Orks will occasionally try to krump their own warboss

queen laurel
#

that too

opaque coyote
#

Because Might makes Right

#

But generally

#

Trying to kill your leader is bad for having a focused front

#

Shocking

opaque coyote

Competent in leading

I think it depends right?

astral burrow
#

Why they so pale

queen laurel
#

no one knows?

#

it definitely has something to do with their psychic mind

vagrant fox
#

It's the dolphin squids from inner munda who are to blame

opaque coyote
#

Like is it the type where they're all connected in thought and feeling

#

Or just can occasionally be like

#

"oh hey what's up guys, do you know where we can find X in Necromunda."

celest dome
#

The Psychoterica isn't like the GS Hive mind and more like inherited memory (of the creator of the Psychoterica), and some warp like feeling between member of it

#

To get into 40k do I need to read the previous 39999 Warhammers?

#

And how many times did someone ask that?

shadow plover
#

You really just need the books 1-262 and 3821, 4444 and the ones between 39500-39999

5000-39500 was the glub shitto -era so none cares about that

Walking bunker

queen laurel
spare osprey
#

Seems so

spare osprey
#

“The Knight Defender is a walking reliquary of ancient technology, boasting arcane energy relays strong enough to handle the immense strain of its rare and powerful weapons – a blazing plasma executor and the extraordinarily lethal conversion beam obliterator. Most distinctive of all is the bulbous void shield generator mounted on the top of its chassis, providing even greater protection than the usual ion shields in a flickering dome that can envelop other nearby allies.”

#

Excited for the chaos lads

#

We know it’s gonna have a rocket launcher

spare osprey

Same style

And it looks to be in the little like

Literally turning into a bunker with enough energy weapons to give a laser show a run for its money

spare osprey
#

Honestly it’s not a bad idea

#

Imperial’s get a defensive knight

#

Chaos gets a super offensive one, siege drill, flamers and rockets

queen laurel

And also help out other fellow knights

This looks so stupid I’m in love

You can see the questoris chasis

there's still the shield variant for the deredeo that hasnt been added

and it's in the rules

Yeah

#

But the missile launcher doesn’t line up with that

#

You can literally see

#

The questoris chasis with it

at least it doesnt look like imperialis

actually imagine an imperialis rumor engine

I will stand by this

i just dont get what the point of a melee questoris is

I see that rumour thing really IS a Void Shield generator.

isn't there dedicated knights for melee

#

At any rate, new knight type means new potential Imperial Agents allying in.

That looks like it has enough firepower to level tank columns.

there is none for any 40k model

Is GW going to be smart enough to include 2 sets of points values for allying in Knights

"A Banisher is a scholar-priest of the Ecclesiarchy equally skilled at both delving into the forbidden knowledge required to understand the nature of Daemons and eradicating Daemonic forces with fire and chainsword" "To be a Banisher is to seek out knowledge many believe is best left buried. They combine lore with great faith in the Emperor, without failing to bring a flamer to bear should it be necessary. Their will is fortified by their intense piety against the madness which accompanies such endeavours, for they must go where few dare. They must be prepared to face many horrors in their search for manuscripts, ancient legends, and even the True Name of a powerful Daemon."

which fandom wiki page did you get this from

queen laurel

Pretty much. And they arent really suppose to have a standing army so it works.

So lemme get this straight, it was through faith that they fortify their souls- what does that specifically mean?

not build brick walls

So faith is a tangible force?

queen laurel
queen laurel

you see since a lot of people believe that the emperor is a god

storm jungle
#

Yea, has been for like 20 years

queen laurel
#

his powers are becoming more and more you know a thing

#

I see

#

So despite the emperor not being a fan of religion and all that, religion, with the tangible forces which faith can create, has become one of the things protecting humanity thus far

No point in it imo

To the level of Houses, no.
To the level of the big groups (Nomads, Enforcers...) no

storm jungle

Necromunda is all about underhive warfare

its all about exploring the unexplored in smaller scale 40k stuff

oooooh, I'm learning today

I see.

#

I'm just wondering because of the current stuff with Hive Secundus in Necromunda, would that bring the inquisition in?

queen laurel
#

They are so good at keeping things on that planet their problem that

#

Outside forces don't even bother interfering

#

As long as they do what they are expected to do for the imperium they are afforded freedom

#

They also again handle their own problems

#

Because outsiders can bring in a whole slew of issues

#

Ngl thats not a bad thought process within Nurglite cultist traditions

#

Stagnate by starting a family and making more viral vectors

opaque coyote
#

Really, really, REALLY powerful Tulpas

#

Basically birth, death, decay was there before Nurgle

#

Nurgle isn't Birth, Death, Decay, etc.

#

He's just a really powerful representation of how those things are viewed

#

The non-benevolent side.

#

If there was no conscious thought, Nurgle wouldn't exist

#

But because there is, he began to form.

#

However, I think he only became shitty ba dum tss due to how all the conscious living things viewed death and decay.

Obviously as bad.

dapper gyro
#

Yes

opaque coyote
#

Nihilism and the pointlessness of life

dapper gyro
#

The believe of Chaos being bad itself makes them worse.

#

The Chaos cultists are thrist for power, so they have to think of it as bad as well.

opaque coyote
#

Chaos probably would've always existed.

However I don't think it would've affected too much... If it wasn't for the numerous fuck ups

dapper gyro
#

Therefore, getting the "gift".

opaque coyote
#

Honestly I like to think that the delusional concepts of Khorne representing Honor for example

#

Was true at one point

#

But the bad so overweighed the good that it just fucking disappeared

dapper gyro
#

Chaos only exists where there is the present of sentient being.

#

Also, there are deep warp, and deep real space.

opaque coyote
#

Also there is apparently the deep warp, which in fluff remains a mystery.

But essentially, even the Chaos Gods are deeply afraid at what lays beyond the "surface".

dapper gyro
#

Both of which are far reach from chaos for deep warp, and from real space being for deep real space.

opaque coyote
#

Which is

#

Terrifying tbh

#

And I love it

dapper gyro
#

You have the Ghoul stars, which is within the boundary of the galaxy, and Chaos gods avoid that place like plague.

opaque coyote
#

I kinda wish they would expand a little more on the deeper parts of the warp

But at the same time it would diminish the mystery so I'm quite mixed about the concept lmao

dapper gyro
#

I think it is best to let it me ambiguous.

opaque coyote
#

The idea of there being dead gods just waiting there

#

Staring at the Chaos Gods

#

Waiting for no reason

#

Half formed corpses of deities waiting

lament shoal
opaque coyote
#

For their turn in the limelight

#

I believe the souls of primarchs, stated to be formed from godlike being, are not from the warp.

#

The Emps

Considering how some of their genesons have instabilities and curses. It's probably the Chaos Gods basically uh

...

It's like an Amazon delivery driver fucking up your package

lament shoal
#

He made a deal with the chaos gods to give him the ability to create the primarchs in exchange for offering all of humanity to chaos and becoming the 5th chaos god. After creating the primarchs, Big E went back on his deal, which pissed off the chaos gods and drove them to hide the primarchs across the universe in retaliation

If love is to reproduction and not recreational, then Slaanesh would gets away less power.

One cult back in like the 1st edition? Made up specific pronouns for them.

Personally I think that Slaanesh would steal pronouns from people

#

Lemme find the tweet

#

This type of shit

#

The person just can't physically refer to themselves in any pronoun

#

They have to talk in the 3rd person for the rest of their lives

dapper gyro
#

Actually, that's smart. You don't have to think about conjugating the verbs anymore.

opaque coyote
#

In general, my... headcanon(?) is that Slaanesh and Tzeentch are more like rivals than truly hating each other

#

Like they still try to take over territory and kill each other, but there's less malice compared to Khorne and Slaanesh for example

#

Since there's not much "overlap" between their concepts tbh

#

"Perfection" doesn't really tie in well with "Planning and scheming endlessly"

#

Then again Slaanesh is more "The endless pursuit" rather than actual perfection

if Nurgle really was some life god, he probably wouldn't have The Purge as some of his top guys https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_Purge

The Purge are a Chaos Space Marine warband dedicated the the Chaos God Nurgle. They are infamous for their genocidal campaigns and indiscriminate use of chemical weapons.[2]

but just wanting to fight for gear is wild for a supposed loyalist astartes

arctic talon
#

Also to make their patron happy

late osprey
#

being a rogue trader is probably the sweetest gig in the Imperium tbh

arctic talon
#

Funniest shit ever in 7e

late osprey
#

i dont think you even have an intrinsic crosshair on your back, like inquisitors do

arctic talon
#

Was that they had
Hatred: Space Marine

#

Not chaos space marines

#

space marines

late osprey
#

Minotaurs really are THAT guy of chapters

#

always going as a single force, preference for teamkilling

#

if i were a space marine captain id be so mad if i had to fight minotaurs

#

not because they're mean or whatever, but because they always cheese by bringing 1000 marines

#

vs my 200

#

like im sorry for actually taking the war seriously, assholes

arctic talon
#

Go go entire chapter

late osprey
#

i feel they go as a chapter specifically to abuse the fact that other chapters rarely are

arctic talon
#

Prolly

#

They’re literal bullies

crystal forum
#

if minotaurs was written by a fan instead of GW they'd be laughed off as OP

arctic talon
#

Tbf their actual performance is mediocre

late osprey
#

if they WERE any good they wouldnt need to bring 1000 marines everywhere they go

arctic talon
#

They just often outnumber and outgun whoever they’re jumping

#

Lol

crystal forum
#

yeah they can't be too elite or they'd compete with the other main character chapters

arctic talon
#

Moloc isn’t even a super good duelist

crystal forum
#

they just

#

have all the gear

arctic talon
#

Moloc just looks terrifying

#

And has aura

late osprey
#

do they actually pick their targets or do they just hope the High Lords dont send them to get coalition'd to death attacking macragge

arctic talon
#

Now granted he could prolly paste the average marine

late osprey
#

or something

arctic talon
#

And they solve it with violence

crystal forum
#

high lords wouldn't want to actually piss off a big chapter

arctic talon
#

Tbf

#

The Minotaurs did piss off the UM

#

They’re banned from entering ultramar

crystal forum
#

lmao

#

the entire sector?

late osprey
#

i mean STRICTLY speaking, even the first founding chapters couldnt do too terribly much entirely on their own

#

but they do have their discord servers of all their successors

arctic talon
#

They absolutely beat the fuck out of 2 second founding UM successors

#

And stole a bunch of their shit

crystal forum
#

well yeah they're UM successors

arctic talon
#

Because the administratum told the Minotaurs to settle their honor dispute

crystal forum
#

they're made to die

arctic talon
#

And the Minotaurs told them stop arguing or else we’ll make you stop arguing

#

To the like 2 marine companies present

#

They kept on arguing so the Minotaurs do what Minotaurs do

#

Which is violently beating the shit out of people

crystal forum
#

i want to see minotaurs starting a fight and then like a founding chapter battle barge arrives

#

and see them shit their pants

arctic talon
#

Tbh they’d still fight them

#

Is the funniest thing

#

They only retreat once they’re actually losing

late osprey
#

unless its a massive chapter they might even still win

arctic talon
#

Which is hilarious

late osprey
#

its still an entire chapters worth of marines

arctic talon
#

Yeah they decided to take on a massive fleet of death guard

#

They didn’t retreat until over 70% of the chapter was dead or wounded

#

And their geneseed stores got corrupted

#

Lol

late osprey
#

100 blood angels is still only 100

#

itd be dante calling all of the X of Blood or the Blood X's to dogpile them that'd be the concerning part

arctic talon
#

But yeah they ran from the deathguard due to losing too many

crystal forum
#

and somehow guilliman wont do anything about this

arctic talon
#

And having their geneseed stores messed up

arctic talon
#

They’re his attack dogs now

late osprey
#

i think minotaurs are also kinda like

crystal forum
#

he literally

#

owns the UM

late osprey
#

irrelevant in the galactic scale of things

arctic talon
#

Yeah also that

#

They’re literally a stick

plush mason
#

how do the imperial fists view the minotaurs?

arctic talon
#

Badly

#

No one likes them

crystal forum
#

they suck

arctic talon
#

The Minotaurs have no friends

late osprey
#

most of why they exist without getting Coalition'd to death seemingly is because they're still beneath most people's notice

arctic talon
#

Well

#

They have 1 friend

crystal forum
#

let me guess

#

cypher

plush mason
#

so like, are both chapters headquartered on/around terra?

arctic talon
late osprey
arctic talon
late osprey
#

a bunch of chapters getting together to pwn them

arctic talon
#

But they’re around terra a lot

late osprey
#

Imperial Fist's home is the death star iirc

arctic talon
#

Lol

late osprey
#

they just love recruiting Terran nobles

arctic talon
#

Yeah it’s the phalanx

#

The Minotaurs got sent by guilliman to Octarius and Vigilus to keep an eye

#

On people he didn’t trust

crystal forum
#

they must piss off founding chapters so fucking much by having leviathan dreads with warriors that are less than 1k year old in them

arctic talon
late osprey
#

why nobles? idk maybe Dorn was a big believer in the Three Estates

arctic talon
#

Which is hilarious

#

The UM hate the minos

#

Guilliman doesn’t mind them

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Nah

#

It is usually in segmentum Solar though

late osprey
#

isnt it often in big warzones?

crystal forum
#

literally doing nothing

arctic talon
#

Yeah

late osprey
#

at least in bfg:a2 they sped that shit all the way across the galaxy

arctic talon

It gets sent to awful warzones a lot

Btw that dreadnought is so violent

tough haven
late osprey

holy shit

arctic talon

It got mistaken for a khornate dread

Because it was covered in blood

arctic talon

arctic talon

Some guardsmen shot it

tough haven

I usually hate Sm but this is my favorite faction now

To like test them LOL

late osprey

my favorite part of baro was combining mechanic's Power Armor and soldier's Machine Gun

I’d find it less goofy if they did that

arctic talon

I’m not even joking

Hekaton Aiakos

i do like the idea that moloch feeds people who fail or disappoint him to the Dreadnought Maze

from his evil throneroom of evil

"YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME, TO THE DUNGEON WITH YOU."

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

His nicknames are

Guardian of the Daedelos Krata

And the Terror of Bifrost

#

The second nickname was given by loyalist survivors

late osprey
#

the space wolves do NOT like how he got that second one

arctic talon
#

Of his anger incident

#

“Aiakos gained notoriety beyond his Chapter when a detachment of Bifrost Huscarl infantry, under the brevet command of Brother-Sergeant Augustine of the Viper Legion Chapter, mistakenly fired on the battle-damaged and gore-drenched Minotaurs Dreadnought.

So provoked, Aiakos rampaged through the Imperial lines, killing thirty-seven Huscarls and Augustine himself in his fury, and ripped open a supporting Leman Russ Tank which had tried to stop him.”

bruh just guardsmen

who knew that space marines could still do friendly fire

languid meadow

who ass chapters make it their personality

crystal forum

this is why you deserve the true award

arctic talon
#

Okay so my bad on the just specific maze being what they stick him in

late osprey
#

friendly fire being the accidental kind

arctic talon
#

Apparently the Minotaurs entire flagship is described as maze like

late osprey

not being a teamkiller

arctic talon

So uh

#

Fucks sake

late osprey
crystal forum
#

the maze when vortex torpedo

arctic talon
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

the maze when uh

arctic talon

So the Minotaurs entire ship is a fucking maze

#

For reasons

#

Beyond my comprehension

they never fight in the void so i doubt they care

I’m killing myself in shame

MINOTAURS MUST HAVE MAZES AND MUST BE GREEK RIGHT?

crystal forum

they literally just had a chapter called the minotaurs and had to run with that information

late osprey

opaque coyote

I mean duh

crystal forum
#

the only thing i like about minotaurs is their paint scheme

late osprey
#

its also our old friends, the Space Wolves

opaque coyote

but I think training for recruits would've been the best placement

I guess to see if you actually have a sense of direction

Their battle barge is called Daedelos Krata

They don’t

They have Greek frescos

at this rate im surprised there isnt something like "yeah they have special power armor so their greaves look like hooves"

arctic talon
#

And stuff

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But not horns

late osprey

if they just had an actual minotaur-themed power armor

the maze's gotta have a non-zero body count for neophytes

honestly

that is actually pretty fucking cool

PLEASE GW, IM BEGGING YOU

STOP WITH THE REFERENCES

IM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES

The legion praetor for the space wolves is prob my fav SW model I love it's helmet
