arctic talon

I thought I would miss out on some companion stuff if I didn't bring them

arctic talon
#

Well

arctic talon

astral burrow
#

I will do that

median star

#

lol

tough haven
#

It’s a setting

astral burrow
#

I WILL do all of them

arctic talon
#

you cannot do all of them

astral burrow
#

Cassia's chats with kibellah are fun sometimes

#

But argenta and iridia

arctic talon
#

due to a funny incident later

astral burrow
#

God they don't shut up

astral burrow
#

2?

arctic talon
#

no

median star
#

i had argenta blow idira head smooth off

astral burrow
#

YOU CAN DO THAT?!

#

Damn I wanna try

arctic talon
#

you can only bring 5 people with you max

#

into the funny zone

#

so the full party of 6

tough haven
#

I’m considering doing an RT one since in the Gilead system Rogue Trader Jakal Varonius has taken control of defense in the sector

arctic talon
#

anyone not with y ou won't have anything to deal with the funny zone

median star
arctic talon
#

he absolutely just kills her lol

astral burrow
median star
#

well he says he will atleast

tough haven
astral burrow
#

I wanna do all the companion stories...

tough haven
#

Multiple playthrough

astral burrow
#

Think my team will be the space wolf, the tech priest, cassia, argenta, and whoever the fuck I feel like

tough haven
median star
#

no abelard yea youre cooked

astral burrow
median star
#

missing best dialogues in the game

tough haven
arctic talon
#

I love Abelard

tough haven
#

Cause I need to play with the characters I haven’t yet

astral burrow
arctic talon
#

he hates the poor people

#

but thats fine

astral burrow
#

I can talk for myself thank you very much annoying man

astral burrow
tough haven
#

But I have Abelards dialogues enabled on toybox so I can always hear his voice in my head

astral burrow
#

I will kill Abelard the first chance I get

raven stone
median star
#

abelard put down a funky beat while we beat this hopless ganger to fucking death

tough haven
astral burrow
#

In fact might bring him in case he can die somewhere

young pecan
astral burrow
#

Anywhere in game where I can get Abelard killed?

arctic talon
#

rather then go the whole

astral burrow
#

I reminded him that, he didn't give a shit

arctic talon
#

Poor aren't human™️

#

lol

tough haven
#

Sacrifice him to the pit

astral burrow
#

What pit

#

the pit?

tough haven
#

The pit

astral burrow
#

Tell me the planet so I can know to bring him there

tough haven
#

I don’t remember the planet name

#

But there’s a bottomless pit there

astral burrow
#

Does anyone know?

tough haven
#

You can sacrifice a party member

#

You get the option to save them later but you can just choose not to

#

You even get a special ending slide for it!

arctic talon
#

its the pit

astral burrow
#

Nice, definitely doing that

arctic talon
#

I forgot

#

anyways

#

you can't always sacrifice someone iirc

#

you need to pass some checks

astral burrow
arctic talon
#

also you're definetly feeding something to a Chaos God or daemon

#

I forgor

#

its ap lanet

#

in act 2

median star
#

im gonna have to kill cassia for this in my next run through for this slight

astral burrow
#

That doesn't narrow it down at all

arctic talon
tough haven
young pecan
astral burrow
#

We can sort this out

tough haven
astral burrow
#

Oh commorragh

#

Sick

#

He is coming

#

I have some mods in rt, but also the "unlock achievements despite mods" mod

#

Does that mod actually work

tough haven
astral burrow
tough haven
arctic talon
#

Comorragh is funny

#

my favorite funny zone

tough haven
#

Very funny

median star
#

i hated the beginning of it

astral burrow
#

I can go back at that point right?

#

U sure?

tough haven
#

I actually liked it

tough haven
astral burrow
#

I kinda wanna start a new run and be dogmatic but I am saving that for an arbite zealot run

median star
#

mainly cause i was so debuffed i literally could not use my gun anymore

astral burrow
#

Guy got a headache

tough haven
#

Fixes all that shit up

astral burrow
tough haven
#

Use enough stimms to ignore your injuries at the start of act 3

astral burrow
#

I have like 25 medic bags and I still haven't used any

#

I just keep the injuries

arctic talon
tough haven
median star
#

i could not for the life of me get that achievement to kill the demon engine thing w the plasma coils you know what im talking abt

astral burrow
#

Idira had head trauma for like half of rykad minoris

astral burrow
astral burrow
tough haven
#

@astral burrow be aware, the pit doesn’t tell you who your sacrificing, it’s cryptic

median star
tough haven
astral burrow
astral burrow
arctic talon
#

I love comorroagh

astral burrow
#

Commoroagh sounds like there are orks there

tough haven
arctic talon
#

It’s the drukhari’s funny city

tough haven
#

Will keep you genuine

median star
#

i do like after commorqg abelard like boss im getting to fucking old for this shit can i just retire after we figure all this dumb shit out

arctic talon
#

All the funny sub realms

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Plenty of slaves

tough haven
#

It’s the dark eldar dimension

astral burrow
#

As long as cassia is alive idc who dies

raven stone
#

@astral burrow about The Pit, note the following...

(1) If you choose to do a search for someone after sacrificing them, you can find said someone again, empowered with a bonus. But you cannot use the pit twice (I usually use it to empower Cassia even more)

(2) IIRC, The Space Wolf and Marazhai cannot be killed by the pit at all.

tough haven
astral burrow
#

I won't be in the pit for a whiiiile

astral burrow
#

She isn't a psyker tho

tough haven
#

It’ll just be fun

astral burrow
#

Then I am taking her

#

Anyone who has trouble will die

raven stone
tough haven
#

Psykers are very neat there

astral burrow
#

Iconoclastness goes out the window if they mess with cassia

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Cassia isn’t a Psyker

astral burrow
arctic talon
tough haven
arctic talon
astral burrow
#

She still has warp shit

arctic talon
#

No mercy

#

Kill them

astral burrow
#

I let the thieves in my lower decks go

#

They made sense

#

Am I gonna regret that

storm jungle
#

read the lore bruh

arctic talon
median star
#

also no clue if it was on meta but this is what i had kibellah running for end game and it worked rlly well

astral burrow
arctic talon
raven stone
#

Dark Eldar.

They look at our Nazis and Pol Pots and think "amateurs"

tough haven
storm jungle
raven stone
#

That is all that needs be said

tough haven
#

It’ll explain it

astral burrow
tough haven
tough haven
#

What are you talking about?

median star
#

also my goat

astral burrow
#

That's a stupid looking boltgun

#

Holy shit

median star
#

the discombobulater

tough haven
astral burrow
#

Why is the grip like that

raven stone
storm jungle
median star
#

have to pick right choices etc

astral burrow
median star
#

also be like tier 1 or 2 heretical

storm jungle
astral burrow
#

So tempted to give cassia bolter proficiency

#

And have her do diplomacy

median star
#

krait is just a professional bad opinion haver man idk

astral burrow
tough haven
#

@raven stone idk if I can do the RT route, as this rt would probably deny xenos involvement officially

tough haven
#

She’s so busted

raven stone
median star
#

also its shame you only get this right before finall boss

astral burrow
#

I wonder how cassia acts if I treat her like shit at the start

astral burrow
astral burrow
median star
#

what i had on pasqal had 60pen and 33-49 dmg

#

so 3+ attks every round

#

i think im going to finally play through phantom liberty 2 years late and do a melee only run

#

maybe try out the wrist rocket thing even tho iv been told its mid

astral burrow
#

Do NOT hurt songbird I WILL kill you

median star
#

she will suffer horrible fates yet to be seen

astral burrow
#

Yeah you can do that

tough haven
astral burrow
#

Please dont

young pecan
#

I thought people like our rejects wouldn't have any knowledge on what a daemonhost is

#

Is that in a little primer before we're sent out to die or something?

median star
storm jungle
#

Ordo Hereticus too lol

median star
#

put bombs in their necks idk

tough haven
young pecan
storm jungle
tough haven
#

He does not want people knowing he’s openly involved with xenos

storm jungle
#

both by Dukane's forces and other operatives aboard the ship

#

and like-

tough haven
storm jungle
#

why do people think most of the Reject character-cast is untrained?

#

literally only the Zealots are homeless crackheads lol

tough haven
#

Not right after you get pulled off the prison ship

astral burrow
#

Veteran is literally a VETERAN

storm jungle
tough haven
#

Not like specially trained by the inquisition though

median star
storm jungle
#

they arent fresh off the boat idiots

astral burrow
#

They are trained idiots

astral burrow
tough haven
young pecan
#

Trained with military experience is different from "this is a daemonhost, this is definitely your first time ever even hearing about one"

#

Of course they're trained

#

I'm not saying they're idiots who can't even hold a gun

astral burrow
#

It is similar

tough haven
#

I don’t think they’re given special briefings on them

storm jungle
#

Again we are in the middle of an active chaos invasion

astral burrow
#

Are we in a warp storm?

tough haven
#

Beyond the basic “this is bad, don’t do x, y and z”

storm jungle
#

and we are a proper part of the Warband at this point

young pecan
#

It's never showed anywhere that they're given this knowledge

tough haven
median star
storm jungle
#

This isnt some huge secret

tough haven
storm jungle
#

^

tough haven
#

When they are briefed on the mission

storm jungle
#

Also offscreen

#

a lot of mission dialogue does this stuff

#

like

#

mfers are goign "How are we not dead from getting in contact with poxwalkers"

tough haven
storm jungle
#

and most of the dialogue speaks of decontamination/purifying protocols when you are midway through an operation

young pecan
#

Maybe Cadia vet knows what it would sound like but a voiceline like that is what prompted me to think about it

#

"I know a daemonhost when I hear one"

storm jungle
#

Well yeah hes cadian

#

also a veteran

#

he's seen shit

tough haven
#

Cadia would 100% know

young pecan
#

That's the only one I would imagine having seen it prior

tough haven
#

They’ve been constantly assaulted

storm jungle
#

We are a part of the Inquisition, its very much again not that weird for people to know what a daemonhost is.

tough haven
#

Also daemons are talked about a little in holy texts in a general sense

storm jungle
#

^

tough haven
#

Not as like “yeah these exist”

#

But like enough where if you saw one

young pecan
#

True, but it's stated in lore that almost any resident of the Imperium doesn't know DHs exist

tough haven
#

You’d be like “oh it’s the thing from the myths”

storm jungle
#

again

#

we are a part

tough haven
storm jungle
#

of the Ordo Hereticus

#

We would be told/trained on what they are

young pecan
#

Oh my goop I'm not arguing it anymore

storm jungle
#

this isnt that deep

young pecan
#

If the training happens offscreen cool

#

I'm making conversation now

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Yeah because they arent gonna show us what they all do 24/7 lol

tough haven
#

I wanna see the food court

young pecan
astral burrow
#

I wish other classes also had planet specific voice options

storm jungle
#

Too much work.

#

This game has over 100,000+ voicelines as per a dev blog lol

#

actually it might be even more

#

i cant remember, it was a ridiculous number

outer wave
#

Thought it was like 80K voice lines and above

young pecan
#

I wonder if that counts every line of text from "conversation" types or if the conversations count as one

storm jungle
#

Probably does

young pecan
#

I'm assuming it counts every line

outer wave
#

Me when I hear "Ohhh... Dreg Shotgunner." 80k times

storm jungle
#

Considering the fact that theres still interactions people have not heard in this game after 3 years I dunno

tough haven
young pecan
#

I heard a new conversation yesterday but I forgor which one

tough haven
#

How did you do that

storm jungle
astral burrow
outer wave
#

Its fun

young pecan
#

I hate the loose cannon line where they're just a dick to someone making a call-out

#

Antagonizes two team members because the other one stands up for the one for no reason dead

#

Even though they spam call-outs 24/7 unprompted

storm jungle
#

its the same reason I love the Bully ogryn

#

an ogryn whos just an asshole is great

queen laurel
#

and reminds you of old world ogres

young pecan
#

I don't tag an enemy all match and my character's screeching the government name of every special and elite in a mile radius

#

Then someone else does it once

#

I do like that it gives the rejects something other than a strange amount of companionship though, like this is a trying time and your current condition blows, of course some are gonna be a bit frustrated and take it out on others

raven stone
#

It is a somewhat realistic depiction of stress getting the better of people

storm jungle
#

To add to that, Loose also one time mentions he had a dream where all his teeth fell out and starting laughing at him.

raven stone
#

oof

#

Double oof if it is a Cadian

queen laurel
# storm jungle

And to be fair under all of that bravado and you know thrill seeking he's still a relatively good person

median star
#

i had a dream like that once but i freaked out ran to the bathroom and the inside of my mouth was like a geode then i really started freaking out then woke up

outer wave
queen laurel
#

this guy's from a species that can dent tanks

#

astral burrow
#

I love judge

misty vector
#

Bully ogryn def has like fear of attachment, poor thang

outer wave
queen laurel
#

He still has some nice bits

outer wave
#

Mhm I think that makes him really fleshed out

#

Probably my favorite Ogryn voice ngl

burnt kraken
#

is the only good ending for 40k the elimination of all life

#

could that remove the warp in a sense, since belief is what gives chaos gods strength

misty vector
#

Only good ending will be the great green from ghazkull

languid meadow
#

[LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

burnt kraken
#

xD

languid meadow
#

Bring forth the infinite empire

burnt kraken
#

so are the pharoh robots right?

#

the necrons

#

they don't classify as living

celest dome
#

They're not living or biological

#

But I'm not sure if calling them robot would be accurate

languid meadow
#

Robot would technically mean they couldn't think for themselves which only applies to 90% of their species

winter pine
#

yeah it's probably appropriate for the 90%+ of Necrons that are mindless soldiers and worker drones

languid meadow
#

but the other 10% would be... idk simulacrums? at least their bodies

#

since their minds aren't artificial in nature

winter pine
#

I forget which book but I think there was a Necron lord who suspected some generic soldiers still had some pre-biofurnace memories, so maybe not a totally right label

tough haven
#

Soulless shells is how I’d refer to them

#

Empty vessels

outer wave
#

They're similar to Tsons in the sense that both are formerly living beings turned into automatous slaves for someone to use, so automations could also be accurate to describe them

arctic talon
#

It’s why warriors can become flayed ones or destroyers

#

The disphorek kicks in despite the suppression of their memory engrams

raven stone
#

Ok enough Wild Rift heresy.
Time to do some Darktide grind FOR THE EMPEROR

Dysphorek is an unintended side effect

Of bio transference

astral burrow

Say hi back

It's kinda funny if you think about it.

The average Necron Lord is basically a gaming PC

"Perfect organism. Their structural perfection only matched by their lack of brain cells. I admire it's purity."

paper haven
#

Yeah. I probably could draw something similar but I just don't have the energy these days

I wonder if one day we'll know where the Tyranids are coming from and who/what is the one that controls them. I remember seeing that Tyranid swarm is bigger than our galaxy, spooky

outer wave
nocturne crest
#

So odd question, but can the imperial navy salvage shipwrecks if they've crashed onto a planet?

storm jungle
#

If its not completely vaporised it will be salvaged.

#

Its like shipwrecking/salvaging IRL

plush mason
#

there was a world that had a massive orbital wreckage around it and the locals earned their living by salvaging any wreck that hit the ground

dapper gyro
#

If it is not decommissioned, which is almost never in 40k, then there is tech to salvage.

plush mason
#

yup

dapper gyro
#

The building materials can be recycled, they are higher grade than the usual materials on the surface.

celest dome
#

Now I don't remember which

storm jungle
#

Consignment Yard!

#

you can see one in the distance on the final trainyard area

outer wave
#

If we get another consignment yard mission, I hope it takes place in one of the delirect ships that are hanging up on the ceiling of that map

late osprey
#

a map in taking place in a scrapped ship would be awesome

#

also

#

is the hive we're fighting in considered normal-sized?

#

cuz some of the maps imply it's utterly colossal

#

like the maps where it feels outside but you look up and it's just all more city

#

like a backwards coruscant

celest dome
#

Well yes, Hives are immense

late osprey
#

thats not what i asked

storm jungle
#

Its a hive

#

theres no "normal" size

celest dome
#

Look up arts of Hive cities

#

They're immense with luddicrus ceilling heights

storm jungle
#

Yeah also Tertium reaches like way past the atmosphere which is neat KEKW_ogryn

gray umbra
#

i hope oneday fatshark will let us reenact the neroth fight in space marine 1

#

where we just leap off the highest point of tertium

late osprey
outer wave
#

I hope we fight on the tippy top of Tertium

celest dome
#

All of them are normal size clown_hadron

storm jungle
#

so there isnt really a "normal size" is what im getting at

#

Hives are just upwards reaching spire clusters more or less, it all depends really

late osprey
#

ok well let me ask instead if the Hive in DT is EXCEPTIONALLY large or not

celest dome
#

It's in the normal bounds

gray umbra
#

its as big as we need it to be

storm jungle
#

Yeah ^

#

its more or less about as much as you can get to a generic hive city

#

with its only "unique" features being the 2 tower format of its twin spires

celest dome
#

Tbh I don't really think having us explore the suspended ship would be an useful plan.
Bit having us return to the Tancred Bastion would be quite good

astral burrow
#

Phew done studying

#

Time to finish metro for good

dapper gyro
#

Hive is just the name for any place with extremely big super structure. Generally speaking, it means that the the majority of the planet is covered in said structure.

#

So if it is a hive city, the sheer size is just so big that comparing one to another doesn't really matter.

paper haven
#

Hive cities are just metropolitan sprawl taken to an insane extreme

late osprey
#

most famously would be necromunda and armageddon

#

terras a full on ecumenopolis afaik but it seems to be more exceptional there

tough haven
#

but no, its gotta push the exact designs of models

outer wave
#

Mhmmmm that would be nice

#

But it wouldnt give enough gameplay depth on its own sadly

#

It just needs more of everything

tough haven
#

Like lemme do some crazy mek work by mixing and mashing weapons and shit

#

vs just changing the color of my car

outer wave
#

Im sure its a GW thing

tough haven
#

Really fun concept

#

but once again, GW hates making money for effectively free by letting creators y'know, create.

#

Who cares if it slightly goes away from your exact trademarked design? Just have a little disclaimer saying that this stuff isnt representative of your products

dapper gyro
#

It is not black and white with "normal" and not "normal".

tough haven
#

Are there systems that are known for sanctioning and hiring xenos mercenaries?

outer wave
nocturne crest
#

Odd question, but does 40k have something like moving shield wall servitors?

arctic talon
#

Wdym by shield wall

#

Like a servitor with a shield mounted on it

#

Or a servitor with like a refractor field

#

For a shield mounted on a servitor yeah prolly

#

For a refractor shield no

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Yeah

#

Servitors are not for tactics

nocturne crest
arctic talon
#

They’re for a grinder

arctic talon
#

Servitors are expensive as fuck

#

A human is way cheaper

nocturne crest
#

Like Penal legions.

arctic talon
#

Yeah you’d more often see penal legions/conscripts/rounded up religious people used as human shields

#

Though a breaching servitor with a physical like shield would def be used

#

It’s just not cheap

tough haven
storm jungle
#

or just use Calixis

#

Do commissars go through teaching classes for ogryn? I mean do they teach em' something anythint on how to deal with big fellas?

storm jungle
#

They teach em what they need for any situation that requires it

#

there isnt some ogryn course they need to take, they juse use common sense lol

distant marsh
#

Was expecting an ogryn teaching degree with emphasis on rations

storm jungle
#

no

plush mason
#

afaik Ogryn are canonically fairly easy to handle

#

they are basically dogs

storm jungle
#

Yeah you basically just need to know how to manipulate a person with a child mentality

#

lol

plush mason
#

yeah

#

hince the fake medals and what not

storm jungle
#

people glamorize the way ogryns get treated a lot in lore as cutesy when you are essentially just leading them with a carrot on a stick yeah

distant marsh
#

Can they accidentally kill their owner?

storm jungle
#

they are still people lol

distant marsh
#

That's why an ogryn teaching course is needed, upgrades people, upgrades

storm jungle
#

no

#

anyway, get out

plush mason
#

yes, more than a few commissars/officers have gotten crushed when they pissed off their ogryn, ogryn are also massively claustrophobic and can panic in tight spaces

distant marsh
#

And then each commisar can go with different especializations

storm jungle
#

no

#

they got better things to do

distant marsh
#

And then prepare for ogryn graduation

storm jungle
#

like tying men to wooden posts and executing them

distant marsh

A psyker has two real choices when confronted with maintaining themselves in Imperial service.

Shut everyone out to a degree abd become an island — separate from both your peers and the institution you serve.

Or submerge yourself in the propaganda and the rhetoric, and become like those you serve alongside. But because you are who you are told to despise and abhor, this will lead to several potentially traumatic personality quirks; feelings of superiority and self-importance aka, "I'm not a witch I'm a Sanctioned Psyker..." all the way to feelings of self-loathing and low-self esteem.

#

Combine low self-esteem with fanatical belief in the system responsible for your continued existence — despite its overt hatred of your kind — and you get a wombo-combo of mental illness.

#

How much do the tau know about races like the Aeldari and necrons?

crystal forum
#

they tried invading a necron world

tough haven
#

I want to see their reactions to just how abysmally outmatched they were

#

And for eldar I’d imagine all their tech is practically arcane to them

arctic talon
#

Its why Vior'la launched such a huge counter offensive against the necrons

#

they wanted gauss weaponry

arctic talon
#

it was in one of the crusade rulebooks in 9e or 8e

#

I forgor

#

or psychic awakening

#

its in something supplemental

its rulebook lore

I assume eldar see tau as this hilariously naive race

arctic talon
#

Killteam lore(ig) lol

#

yes

#

the Eldar see the Tau as absurdly naive, unprepared

#

but they see them as the next big thing as well

tough haven
arctic talon
#

the eldar know that humanity

#

are going to implode

#

and then the Tau will be the next big race

tough haven
#

We’ll be fine

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

being the "next big thing"

#

does not mean it is going to be good

#

LOL

tough haven
#

Also if anyone is going to be the next big thing it’s gonna be orks

queen laurel

#

They are too brutal and always kill each other when they are too bored

tough haven

Wym they already are

#

They’re practically fucking everywhere

#

And nothing can keep them down

They are thriving

arctic talon
#

Orks to the eldar have already fallen

#

as a society lol

#

though they're having a great time

#

according to some eldar philosphers

tough haven

tldr the Craftworlds see the Orks almost similar to how they see the Drukhari

I love how even orks hate drukhari

arctic talon

The Orks have fallen from the Krork

they've regressed

lol

tough haven
#

Yeah but they’re still very much a problem

#

They’re probably not ever going away

#

Except if nids consume all life or something

tough haven
#

Like that’s interesting and gives them relevance on a galactic scale

#

But it’s never going anywhere

#

Speaking of, when’s that grotsnik book coming out

arctic talon
#

centering an entire faction around one character is bad

#

and its good GW hasn't done that

#

Over centralization of any faction around one character is bad and I hate it

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Ghaz unifying all the Orks is centralizing everything around Ghaz

tough haven
#

Like include all his war bosses and all the minor groups within orks

arctic talon
#

Ghaz is trying to do that still

tough haven
#

Well “centralize” as best they can

arctic talon
#

that is still centralizing around Ghaz

#

is my point

#

Ghaz becomes the defacto most important Ork

#

always

#

forever

#

in lore

queen laurel

There's other major warbosses that are super relevent in lore

legends is literally valid for everything but tournaments

Oh last I checked he was just a option to replace the new big mek model for flair

If you’re not playing comp practice then legends is valid

Never been an issue at me for events or at LGSs lol

#

But it always sucks when people are weird like that

Like of all the fucking hills to die on

it the only reason it's legends rules is because the mini is no longer distributed

but the rules are still valid rules

Not the right chat for this, and yeah that's the best chat

young pecan
#

I saw a video talking about daemons that mentioned how despite 40k having better weaponry, AoS and WHF fellows kill them just as well with just swords and stuff, said his belief is since it's a more personal way of killing them that it's more effective

#

If that's true I almost want a guard regiment that mostly trains martially and specializes in daemons

celest dome
#

"Ancient" weapons and Iron ones do work better than Guns, even in 40k.
Though being in melee is dangerous.
But it's mostly that the BF/AoS are made differently ogryn_pathetic

queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

Deamons and various threats in 40k has a higher % of ranged weapon usage. Especially most of the troops actually do is to fight other rebellions and traitors troops.

young pecan
dapper gyro
#

You don't charge into a volley of ranged weapon apply to everyone.

young pecan
#

Which is why it wouldn't be only melee

#

Just where applicable

#

It also reminded me of a time where there was seemingly something pointing towards that being canon, where someone hand-carved prayers or runes or both onto their bullets, and it hurt a daemonhost a good bit

#

You can say that's just because of the holy part though so

#

But it was definitely more personal

opaque coyote
#

"Please Emperor... help me fight this battle that shall mark the fate of humanity."

"nah"

"Oi Empera, help me and the ladz out on taking out this cult!"

"I shall bless thee. Smite heretics with blinding faith!"

dapper gyro
#

It is the faith system of Warhammer, nothing more really.

#

If you believe that your weapon is strong, it does get stronger.

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Like many relic weapons were once normal weapons, but by time and feat they achieved with their many users, more people believe in its power, and it gets stronger.

astral burrow
#

i think emperor has enough blessings to bless both tho

celest dome
young pecan
#

I don't know what either of those are but they sound cool

opaque coyote
#

Like how weapons became legendary is due to the feats the owner gave

#

and therefore the owner imprinted his own attitude into it.

astral burrow
opaque coyote
#

Making it truly something else

young pecan
opaque coyote
dapper gyro
astral burrow
#

isnt the faith just superstition?

young pecan
dapper gyro
#

Like, if a weapon of the imperium known to jam, it will never get the faith to become stronger.

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Orks believe that anything can work.

opaque coyote
#

That includes belief.

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
#

You have to truly, 100% believe in something to manifest it into reality

opaque coyote
#

Due to the warp changing it.

astral burrow
#

i thought it was just mindless bullshit

opaque coyote
#

Faith is one way to actually manifest change.

#

Because you TRULY believe in it.

arctic talon
#

relaity lube™️ for orks

astral burrow
#

well i guess argenta isnt so st upid either

opaque coyote
#

Therefore it causes tangible results.

arctic talon
#

and yeah human faith does have

#

tangible effects

#

Eldar faith also did back during the war in heaven

#

considering they made their gods manifest on the battlefield

#

and then the eldar empire mostly stopped worshipping the eldar gods and we all know where that went

celest dome
opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Funny enough, technology can take out the warp, especially during the DAOT, not only because of advanced tech, but also the believe of technology can overcome anything.

opaque coyote
#

That's why the Orks WAAGH stuff works

#

If a lot of Orks believe in something, it has an effect. But reality still constrains it.

astral burrow
opaque coyote
#

For example, an Ork can believe that their piece of shit, cobbled together, BARELY working gun is actually a proper shoota.

celest dome
#

Waaagh and Weird boy stuff don't depend on the same method.
Weird boys still fall under the Peril of the Warp

dapper gyro
#

It is when humanity started to have issue with techs and the believes dwelled down that stuff got to shit.

opaque coyote
#

However, that shoota still needs ammo, they cannot manifest ammo out of their minds.

arctic talon
#

generally speaking faith is a crapshoot lol

opaque coyote
#

They still need to reload.

arctic talon
#

sometimes it works

#

sometimes it doesn't

Sometimes it doesn't work when you really want it to.
