The Xenarites in the mechanicus 2 dlc as enemies

are trying to become silica animus

and also generally hereteks that go beyond the normal level of xenarite stuff

[crystal forum]

for you non nerds, silica animus is AI

[tough haven]

Yeah it better have some variability cause my gods I could not replay Mechanicus 1

I hope you trade territory

That would be peak

I just want more unpredictability or interactivity

[lyric grotto]

NEW CLASS COMING AND IT'S NOT EVEN RATLING???

[arctic talon]

why are people so attached to Ratlings

genuine question

[lyric grotto]

FOr me it's because we have Ogryns and Ratlings are just as important to the guard as far as abhumans go

[tough haven]

Would be a good contrast to ogryns and I don’t think they get enough time in the limelight

I know mechanically they’d be really similar to veterans, but still I love abhumans and I want more of them

[dapper gyro]

Just saying... Since Eternal eternalled, this is feel somewhat more enjoyable on touchy subjects.

[arctic talon]

okay but this isn't the guard

its the inqusition

and I think 3 characters from the guard would be a bit much

[lyric grotto]

They're guardsmen prisoners mostly and we're technically part of the Moebian regiment

[arctic talon]

we are not part of the moebian regiment unless you pick that backstory, they are training us and we're doing some missions for them but we're not part of it

and its only 2 of the characters

who are from the guard

its half

I don't want more guard focus

I am playing an inqusition game for the inqusition

but none of the voices are part of the guard

aside from obviously the guard members

[dapper gyro]

All of those with Cadia background is not from Moebian from the slightest.

So canonically, I guess the male and female cut throat.

[arctic talon]

Anyways I don't want to watch this game turn into 3/5ths guard for the roster

[arctic talon]

backgrounds don't influence any dialogue aside from Cuthroat tbh

anyways point being I don't want this game to be majority guard lol

before you ask yes I dislike all the regimental cosmetics

lol

I mostly dislike them

[late osprey]

me? im with all the other vet mains

i just want me scion armor and me volleygun

volleygun i know is a bit of wishful thinking

but the general design people were envisioning actually isn't too absurd

[lyric grotto]

Psykers are mostly guards as well and I'd bet money that the zealots were priests for the guards

[late osprey]

nah they're civis

[lyric grotto]

I wish for melta

[arctic talon]

They are explictly not, none of the psykers we play as were in the guard

based on voice lines

[dapper gyro]

One of them were enforcer.

It is the savant ones. They were supposed to be the gun psyker.

[rose thorn]

Sylvaneth might get something big for scourge of Ghyran

Maybe their battletome teaser?

[sacred ginkgo]

Rogue trader is a fair and balanced game

I one turned the edge of daybreak

[young pecan]

I'm not knowledgeable about Arbites lore, but if they're actually real officials and (judging by the trailer), have access to the planet's resources, won't they be treated differently than the base 4 classes?

Like they won't be rejects but rather conscripted by Grendyl?

Dunno how that works but curious

[sharp pollen]

they are above rejects of course

as dilara said, they just join us

it all will be explained tho

[dapper gyro]

If they are on the ship, it is because someone asked them to come there.

[young pecan]

What I figured

Did not see what Dilara said of course

[sharp pollen]

i said "they just join lol)))"

she said "lmao yes"

on the trailer release day

[static wren]

Surely ship NPC lines will be different too

Hadron might actually still be the same :D

[queen laurel]

imagine her saying how are cyber mastiff can be improved if we let her take a look at it

[astral burrow]

Yeah hadron can definitely stay the same

Hallowette too

It is the random npcs they gotta change

[sour hornet]

I like the generic designs fatshark comes up with

Except for the Chem dogs

Legitimately kino drip

[celest dome]

Ratling doesn't fit the game style.

[queen laurel]

yeah like they didn't take into account the height problems like bardin

[celest dome]

Tbf Squats would have worked for the style of the game

It's just that Ratling are the antithetical to tide gameplay

Same way a Tau operative would

[hallow basin]

I mean, Tau being weak at melee is mostly a meme, if that's what you refer to

[queen laurel]

a ratling is basically a veteran that can't defend himself

in melee

[shadow plover]

and got hairy smelly feet

[queen laurel]

yeah but since they basically don't or rarely, they are not good at it like the other guys are

also

T'au are generally shorter than humans, smaller in stature and with less muscle mass and body weight

[celest dome]

They still aren't really written with much melee focus (very few melee weapons set on them)

[queen laurel]

That too

Their entire combat philosophy is making sure that scary thing doesn't get to you

[hallow basin]

yeah, that's a really good point

[queen laurel]

they are famed as the shootiest army to ever shoot

[celest dome]

Imagine they made a Tau centric rpg

That could be cool and really explore the various allied races

[queen laurel]

buys tau game
picks kroot

[celest dome]

I'd pick Niccassar

https://tenor.com/view/wave-gif-18119452

[queen laurel]

psychic bears good choice

[balmy tusk]

How about a crpg taking place during the Achilus Crusade, and while it starts off with you creating a Deathwatch (or maybe an Inquisitor) party, halfway through the game character creation starts up again and you create a Tau party

[still spruce]

Haven’t fully decided on which system to run yet, but will eventually be running a dark heresy/rogue trader/adjacent 40k tabletop game.

One of my players have expressed a great interest in playing an Eldar, but to my knowledge, it doesn’t seem fully possible? Anyone smarter than me able to convince me otherwise or possible scenarios for a story hook or campaign that could fit an Eldar with a band of typical crews you see in rogue trader vessels or even warhammer groups

[queen laurel]

what game are you planning to run it

[celest dome]

Then you have the 2 teams fighting each other ?

[balmy tusk]

It's not unheard of for Rogue Traders or Inquisitors to sometimes ally themselves up with eldar

[crimson grove]

if you play the D100 system, Rogue trader do have Eldar supplement , and rogue trader retinue does includes Xenos

[queen laurel]

because rogue traders TTRPG you can play as an eldar

[celest dome]

Rogue Trader has rules for some Eldar player character, and Dark Heresy might too (not sure)

[crimson grove]

and if you set yourself in M42 , Mankind and Eldar have a somewhat "positive" relationship

[still spruce]

I’m open to suggestions to any existing Warhammer Ttrpgs, I’m planning to try all of them over time but if anyone has great nudging points I’m all ears

[queen laurel]

well do you want it to be relatively easy or do you want it to be challenging?

[celest dome]

Rogue Trader might be the most suited

[queen laurel]

Both of them have eldar

[crimson grove]

if you want to go toward a D6 system, Wrath and Glory also have an aeldari supplement

[still spruce]

If it’s not too much effort, could you propose both on why one is more challenging and one is more easy? I’d like to be able to share the thoughts with both players

[balmy tusk]

I was thinking more like something like Alpha Protocol or Way of the Samurai, with the game going from event to event with choice & consequence where one event impacts what future events could happen. It's just some events are played from the Inquisitor side and some from the Tau side. But that's just me going "wow this sounds cool I like my ideas".

[still spruce]

Like I said, eventually I wanna try each of them 🙂

So I’m all ears

[crimson grove]

considering cost and time I would mostly encourage to look for the one the systeme you and your player enjoy the most first

[queen laurel]

Wrath and glory like Babki said runs on A D 6 system

rogue trader

[crimson grove]

hard to fully tell without trying but a quick read and character creation can help figure out

[still spruce]

My group is of 10 years, time is all we have

[celest dome]

Rogue Trader play more like a standard rpg tbh, while Dark Heresy is more complicated iirc

[still spruce]

Dark Heresy kinda leans towards CoC style narrative and gameplay correct?

[celest dome]

Ye

[still spruce]

Word

[queen laurel]

yeah but dark heresy you can't play a xenos

you can home brew one definitely

but wrath and glory and rogue trader have pre established character classes and stuff for you to just get

[still spruce]

Which system would feel the most diverse and rewarding in terms of player builds and creativity?

E.G How Pathfinder 1e has the most diversity and freedom when it comes to activating builds compared to 5e, 2e and such

[balmy tusk]

So Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Only War and Black Crusade all share the same general mechanics, so it's not too difficult to copy rules from one into the other (some work needed to account for balance and occasional differences). Off the top of my head there aren't pre-written rules for having eldar in Dark Heresy, but they do exist for Rogue Trader.

[still spruce]

This is definitely helpful

[celest dome]

I'd lean toward WoG I guess

[still spruce]

I assume Ogryns are not really supported in these as well correct? I remember reading that having an ogryn can really make or break some of the systems, especially dark heresy

[balmy tusk]

Only War has ogryn stuff

[still spruce]

How do they handle ogryns in your opinion? I remember reading someone importing Ogryns from OW into DH2e and it went really bad

[balmy tusk]

But yes, the "base" power level of characters can differ quite greatly between the systems (particularly for Deathwatch, where players are space marines), hence the need to do some tweaking for balance.

[celest dome]

OW Ogryn are fun, but Only War is more of a combat rpg, so you have less role play options than the other games.
But Ogryn don't really work well with the Dark Heresy hook of having your character be investigating stuff and all

[queen laurel]

yeah dark heresy is basically a detective RPG adventure

that's why characters there are only human with non humans being

[balmy tusk]

I don't have any experience playing Only War, so no idea how ogryns kinda play out, but as cacti said it is much more combat-centric than Dark Heresy, so ogryns will be big combat monsters out of the box.

[queen laurel]

NPCS that you come across

[still spruce]

Word

[queen laurel]

but considering that they are usually dumb enough to eat rocks they will probably not be good in conversation or anything intelligence related

[celest dome]

Ogryn are really fun in OW, you really feel like a Barbarian playing with an all Wizard party

[still spruce]

If I were to try to do Only War or Rogue Trader, what are some narrative hooks and/or ideas where I could have a group of humans/a human and an Eldar working together?

[still spruce]

I love to hear it

[queen laurel]

the core rule book already has eldar

for rt

[balmy tusk]

Not a lot of hooks in Only War as you're generally playing grunts in military campaigns, eldar stuff would probably be a temporary alliance at best

[still spruce]

Interesting

Do we know when the last update was released for both systems? I know they are pretty dated and I assume they don’t receive new content now a days probably

[balmy tusk]

Rogue Trader allows for more long-term groups, could be that an eldar needs some kind of knowledge that's only found on a human world, so they seek out a rogue trader as a sponsor of sort

[queen laurel]

hell orks can even tag along

[balmy tusk]

There's a Xenographer advanced class in RT which could allow for a human character to specialise in communication and diplomacy with specific xenos

[queen laurel]

like you can have mekboyz modify the RT ship

now this has a chance of going absolutely wrong and blowing up the entire ship

But you know we ball

[balmy tusk]

Maybe the rogue trader in question has some ancient eldar ruins on one of their worlds

Or their travels take them to one

maybe their dynasty had dealings with eldar in the past

[still spruce]

Interesting

[queen laurel]

rogue trader and wrath in glory are the only warhammer 40 RPGS that really tackle non human characters yeah?

[still spruce]

I assume an Eldar would never be allowed to cross into Human colonies or hive worlds or atoma correct?

[queen laurel]

i mean they can blend in

[still spruce]

Really now

[queen laurel]

You could also just make an excuse that this guy is a very weird ass looking mutant

[still spruce]

Or do you mean disguises

Sorry tired

[balmy tusk]

Into The Storm: The Explorer's Handbook has a section with general rules for playing as xenos, though it primarily deals with ork and kroot player characters

[queen laurel]

that's rt yeah?

[balmy tusk]

Yes

[queen laurel]

as long as they wear like outfits not that ridiculous you can pass them off as like literally mutated humans literally

[balmy tusk]

There's a specific Sanctioned Xenos trait as well

[queen laurel]

Most of the time people don't know any better and you can just tell them that this body of yours is a mutant that is unusually tall and has sharp ears

[queen laurel]

this too

[still spruce]

Interesting

I didn’t know there were eldars allowed to live on imperial lands, Reddit always makes it seem so extreme 1 way or the other..

[queen laurel]

these are very special circumstances

[still spruce]

Like all Eldar are banished unless temp truce or Eldar were really needed for this really specific moment in time

[still spruce]

Which part, sanctioned or what Reddit discusses

[balmy tusk]

That's usually what happens

[queen laurel]

Sancioned

most of the time eldar and humans will kill each other

but alliances can happen

[balmy tusk]

Eldar being driven out is the usual case, the Imperium is wildly xenophobic

[queen laurel]

and eldar and that are on a personal quest to do something will usually stick with a human

[balmy tusk]

But, characters in positions of power generally recognise that sometimes sticking with the xenophobia isn't the most useful course of action

And they sometimes have the power to do something about it

[still spruce]

Is there any cases of Eldar being permanently accepted into the imperium?

Like a single Eldar or a group of Eldar?

I know I’m digging at the bottom of the barrel, just trying to learn’

[balmy tusk]

On a wider basis? In a way that most of the Imperium knows about? No

[queen laurel]

hey drek what are classes called in rogue trader

again

careers?

[balmy tusk]

Careers

[queen laurel]

aight thanks

[still spruce]

I see

[balmy tusk]

I think

Yes, careers

[still spruce]

Anyone know what the Reddit for the rogue trader TTRPG would be?

Sorry for the trouble

Think I found it, Roguetrader40k

[balmy tusk]

There is one example of a more long-term alliance between some ordo xenos inquisitors and eldar

the Coven of Isha

Which apparently has resulted in there being an imperial space station with a wraithbone chamber hidden inside of it for communication

There are also two instances of inquisitors being given access to the Black Library (Czevak and Bronislaw Zak)

[still spruce]

Good to know..

[balmy tusk]

In the case of the Calixis Sector and Koronus Expanse (areas of space near each other and explored in Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader, respectively), I think there is also an inquisitorial sect known as the Xenos Hybris

Well, maybe just Calixis

[celest dome]

Isn't there one with that Sister of Battle ?

[balmy tusk]

idk

[queen laurel]

oh wrath and glory has eldar, and ogryns

[still spruce]

Apparently eldars even have psykers..

https://tenor.com/view/telltale-games-tales-from-the-borderlands-rhys-strongfork-gif-15962224167899555360

I am being educated

[balmy tusk]

Eldars are a psychic species by default

[still spruce]

Curious question, the whole Psyker Quelling thing, is that flavored purely for Darktide? Or is that a true struggle psykers deal with.

[queen laurel]

psykers do that

but quelling can be done in many ways

[dapper gyro]

It is in the lore, but they don't just expense it in seconds like in game.

[still spruce]

Of course

[misty vector]

The psykers in darktide would probably be bedridden after a mission if it wasnt a game

[dapper gyro]

Untrained, they can go explosive real quick, like shooting 3 shots from the staff and they are gone.

[balmy tusk]

Psykers always have to deal with the perils of the warp if they use their powers

[still spruce]

I forget, do people consider Darktide psykers to be gamma or something like that

[balmy tusk]

sometimes nothing happens, sometimes they make all the nearby food start rotting etc.

[still spruce]

LOL, interesting

This is fascinating to say the least

[balmy tusk]

Psyker power level classifications are a bit wonky, I'm going on the assumption that our psyker power levels differ a lot

Assume that a psyker using a force staff is at a stronger level than one using a gun etc.

[dapper gyro]

Maybe in gameplay, but in lore, they are just so so...

[rocky gale]

It's worth noting that the Peril we see in Darktide when you go over the limit is basically a failsafe killing the Psyker to prevent worse outcomes happening

[balmy tusk]

There's a primaris psyker reject in one of the official short stories

[dapper gyro]

To be gamma as you suggested, they need to be trained from birth and then get augmentation.

Which none of the reject is.

[still spruce]

I see

[queen laurel]

wait drek are craftworld eldar not a career option in rt?

[balmy tusk]

Nope

[queen laurel]

welp

shit

[balmy tusk]

Only drukhari for whatever reason

I think

maybe corsairs? I'm not sure

[still spruce]

Ah, so rogue trader doesn’t divide races and careers? It’s all one thing

[queen laurel]

yeah i've been searching up the careers and stuff i only see them for

[queen laurel]

no they do divided by species because like you have orks

in rt

[still spruce]

Does RT or OW or W&G have Tau as playable? Out of curiosity

[rocky gale]

The starting careers are all human by default, the other careers added by additional rulebooks are Species locked, so like ones for Drukhari, ones for Orks

I think RT might have a Tau

But that may have been homebrew

[queen laurel]

yeah fire warrior i think

[still spruce]

Word

[balmy tusk]

There's no specific "race" mechanic if that's what you're wondering, xenos characters are usually handled mechanically by giving them xenos-specific traits.

[rocky gale]

Yea, the game by default assumes you to be Human

[still spruce]

Crazy that eldars don’t even have bones

https://tenor.com/view/telltale-games-tales-from-the-borderlands-rhys-strongfork-gif-15962224167899555360

We are so inferior

[nocturne crest]

So new question, but what are the chances that the chapter master of the black templars knows their entire size?

[queen laurel]

took me awhile but yeah

[celest dome]

Quite high

Wonder if Boltgun 2 will have some fundamental changes over Boltgun 1

[balmy tusk]

Twilight Crusade would be the specific sourcebook to read if you're looking for a lore explanation of Tau in Rogue Trader (it also enables Tau in Dark Heresy).

[queen laurel]

Hopefully for once

allow the melee to be useful

because besides insta killing small enemies on the first game it didn't really do anything

[celest dome]

Local Multi could be cool

[nocturne crest]

I did have a follow up question, but upon writing it up, I realised how silly it was.

[celest dome]

Silly doesn't mean bad

[nocturne crest]

I was wondering if the inquisition could plant space marines loyal to them into the black templars by making their own fake crusade group.

[celest dome]

They could probably do kidnap some SM, change their minds and then return them to the Chapters

[sour hornet]

The Inquisition has space marines loyal to them in the DW and GK though.

No need for Black Templar, uhh... impetuousness.

[celest dome]

BT are a bigger than the DW or GK, and both groups are over specialized

[sour hornet]

Also just becoming a patron for a equipment strapped Chapter could be sufficient. Especially one returned from a penitent crusade.

[sour hornet]

Well, for generalist tasks, Inquisitors really just have to ask. Unless they're dickheads, Chapters will respond on their own. Astartes love running to fights that will kill them.

So doing machiavellian shit to create winter soldier Black Templars is a little too much effort for little reward.

[celest dome]

Hence it making sense in the Imperium

[sour hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/malreynolds-firefly-speechless-gif-5332816

[celest dome]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-smiles-sunglasses-car-driving-gif-14921090

[dapper gyro]

It is funny with the DW because they recruit people from different chapter so they can be diverse to deal with different threats.

At least it was the original intention when GW made them. Nevertheless, they needed more SM to be special like the GK...

[queen laurel]

little too much effort to make something even though the resources can be used for something else?

where have i heard the imperium do that before hmm?

[storm jungle]

[humble shoal]

I mean DW is really good at what they specialize in

xenophobia

and imagine not introducing the best inquisition space marine chapter red hunters

[crystal forum]

where's the jaw

[storm jungle]

I ate it.

💀

[celest dome]

It's like people who only use one parenthesis and forget to close them

Somewhere another Chaos God is stealing all the lost Jaws

[astral burrow]

Was hungy?

[dapper gyro]

She wants bigger chin.

[dapper gyro]

Ok, I know it is nitpick against cool factor... but the HH trailer with troops with only guns charging into guys with melee is so damn stupid...

[storm jungle]

Its very goof yeah lol

the toy story animation quality doesnt help either

[tough haven]

Do they at least have bayonets?

[queen laurel]

bro thinks they're a shootaboy

[tough haven]

Confidence is 90%

[dapper gyro]

If it is Ork, I wouldn't care.

[queen laurel]

Are those guys normal humans?

[dapper gyro]

Sally

If it was how it happened, then they deserve to get the legion deleted.

[queen laurel]

Range marines charging into the enemy?

[dapper gyro]

Not a single dude with melee...

And get into melee range to get clubbed...

[paper haven]

Yeah but they're using Melta and flame weapons

[dapper gyro]

There is no flame nor melta weapon...

[paper haven]

Saw plenty of their enemies just disappear when shot

[dapper gyro]

It is distingator, it is a long range weapon.

[paper haven]

Getting shot at point blank range is still quite deadly

[shadow plover]

Well they WERE ambushed

[dapper gyro]

Yeah, but the effect is the same if they are hundred metres away...

[paper haven]

Sure but they were ambushed.

When attacked like that, your best bet is to push forward

[storm jungle]

Literally nobody making this trailer put these into consideration

"we need two toy lines to fight"

[paper haven]

Here I am, doing the work for GW

[queen laurel]

"i want the animation of our two money makers fighting now and that's it"

Make it look like a party don't make it make sense

[dapper gyro]

Turn and burn is real, but situations dictate and you don't do that when they are still shooting at you.

So they rant over the hail of fire to fight a gun in melee... You can't excuse that.

[paper haven]

They can't sit still, they're in a kill box

[summer mural]

damn theres a new hh cinematic

it left me confused somehow LOL

[storm jungle]

whats confusing about it

[paper haven]

The sign language

[arctic talon]

GW making use of all the money they spent on their sign language colang

lol

[dapper gyro]

The tanks are mobile cover... Mechanized troops using vehicle as cover is like one of the 1st thing they do.

[summer mural]

its just like

its great and all

but the combat was just kinda

low stakey??

[dapper gyro]

You know, it reminds me of the Fury scene, when the US tanks can kill the Tiger from that distance, but they decided to rush in and get 2 more tanks destroyed for no reason...

[summer mural]

i liked the horus trailer, it was straightforward and dialed up to 11

and the guilliman one had like everything

[storm jungle]

You can really notice like

the animation studio swap

lmao

The Valdor/Krole/Malcador stuff is great

then you go into toyzone animation

[summer mural]

yeah valdor and malcador were the best parts

especially the intro

[storm jungle]

Yeah that stuff is great because its just really well setup, designed and built. Then you go into grey slopland.

[summer mural]

but the combat was too..tzeentchy, I dunno how to explain it LOL

[storm jungle]

nah I get it

its why I keep making the toy story joke

its very inhuman in a "weird" way

they just more really unnaturally because marine proportions are awkward

[dapper gyro]

It is dumb and stupid with meh animation.

They tried a little too hard to be cool.

The 1e HH animated trailer is great though.

[paper haven]

Tanks that are getting torn up by weapons fire?

[queen laurel]

hey wolf quick rogue trader RPG question

do orks only have 4 careers

mekboy, freeboota, kommando, and weirdboy?

[arctic talon]

I think yeah

[summer mural]

also when I saw krole all I could think about was how she gets chopped up by Kharn

[queen laurel]

yeah because apparently in wrath and glory they have even less

only 3

boy, kommando, nob

[dapper gyro]

The vehicle being non functional doesn't mean it is not a cover...

And clearly, even when it was disabled, the troops still run out... If troops stayed behind it, you get at least double the protection effectiveness.

[paper haven]

Standing still is more suicidal than attacking

[dapper gyro]

Whatever you say, bud.

[paper haven]

I mean, yeah? It's a debate about a fictional battle.
I can apply realistic thought to it as much as I like but, eh.

[summer mural]

also im still not sold on saturnine armors

i dunno why people are apparently really excited for em?

i guess its the goofiness

they are still better than dreadknights at least

[paper haven]

Definitely the goofiness

[storm jungle]

Goofiness + Old Thing we can soyjak point at

[queen laurel]

I don't mind the look

But for me it's a good showing of point that space marine fans are not that hard to please

[astral burrow]

No shit

Took you long enough

[queen laurel]

And shows why it's one of the best selling factions in warhammer

[astral burrow]

I figured that out 2 days in

[queen laurel]

Krait you can trash talk me if you can actually read

But you can't

[astral burrow]

I can read

I know how

And no shit isn't trash talking! It is agreement!

[queen laurel]

Then you don't need to ask us very specific questions when you want to figure something out yeah?

[astral burrow]

It is more fun to hear from people than just read a soulless wiki page

Soulless as in

It is just pure information nothing else

Boring

No flair, no opinion, nothing

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Adeptus_Arbites#Notable_Arbites

[summer mural]

so can arbites ever like

stop a genestealer cult by themselves

[dapper gyro]

Use Lexi and Wikia, get to the notable member for some good enough reference.

You can dig some names there.

Generally, no.

GSC usually needs an eradication, not a purge based on justice.

[celest dome]

Depend on the size/strength of the GSC, but anyway they would probably call back up, either from the other Arbites, or at the very least Enforcers

[dapper gyro]

As funny as it sounds, Arbites does work with more actual justice than most other Imperium faction.

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

she looks cool

[arctic talon]

if they nip it at the bud yes

otherwise they'll need assistance

[summer mural]

Shira Lucina Calpurnia

[arctic talon]

the arbites can fight small wars on their own

but they ultimately do lack manpower

[summer mural]

isnt their police station basically a fortress on a street

[celest dome]

That's a Shock rod iirc (and a Suppression Carbine or something)

[summer mural]

her brothers are ultramarines

so thats a big point against her very nature as a human being

[astral burrow]

thats not even close to normal glasses

[arctic talon]

They're for sight

[astral burrow]

you just, just 2 frames joined together, ear hooks, with lenses

[dapper gyro]

Cool name for a Taser...

[arctic talon]

well those aren't in 40k really

[astral burrow]

damn

[arctic talon]

we get more gothic or weird looking glasses

[astral burrow]

so we will never get any in game?

[arctic talon]

you could def do normal glasses

[arctic talon]

they just look a bit dif

lol

[astral burrow]

i just want sick sunglasses

[arctic talon]

its a giant fortress yeah

[summer mural]

weird comparison but

single average arbites seems more competent than single average guardsman

[dapper gyro]

They get more formal training and education (indoctrination) than the guards.

[arctic talon]

Arbites go through the schola

so they're more fanatical and well trained yeah

[summer mural]

yeah that police station is packing some serious construction

[arctic talon]

now granted they aren't trained as soldiers

they're trained as you know FEDS

[dapper gyro]

Veteran guard is as good in term of combat performance though.

[storm jungle]

And this is like 1 example of a fortress-precinct

some are big/equipped enough to fight small or medium wars by themselves

[crystal forum]

smh

[dapper gyro]

Stormtroopers or Kasrkin level would absolutely smoke the Arbites, it is not even close.

[summer mural]

does the arbites like kill everyone in a room then turn to his hot sidekick arbites and go like " This room has been pacified."

[dapper gyro]

Maybe

[storm jungle]

Memes aside yes

lmao

[summer mural]

LOL

[dapper gyro]

Shit, barring the guard, it sounds more and more like those "Who can't do military so they join the police."

[arctic talon]

well

[summer mural]

well, you can say shit like " Throw down your weapons or prepare to be judged!" the guard has mid battle cries

[dapper gyro]

For women, if the fail to join the SoB, then fail the Tempestus Scion, their last chance is Arbites...

[arctic talon]

arbites are drawn from people who are good at fighting + nerds

arbites are the fucking nerds

who are good at fighting

[celest dome]

Arbites is probably harder to join than the Scions...

[arctic talon]

If you're actually just a nerd you become a scribe

tbf yeah you need book smarts

to be an arbite

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if they'll make the repressor in plastic for imperial agents/Sisters of battle.

[arctic talon]

Scions don't need to be super intelligent regarding things like laws and definitions

They need to kill good, follow orders and know how to use their weapons

[winter vessel]

speaking of scions, purchased my first official mini set

technically Aquilons

[languid meadow]

Also tbf arbites don't really get to "choose" to join the ranks either

If you fit you're chosen to be one

[nocturne crest]

So do arbites only have one colour scheme or are there others?

[storm jungle]

1 scheme

[summer mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh_gIxTitMM casting sylvester stallone as judge dredd will forever be one of those humanity forever moments

[celest dome]

Though nothing would stop ones from having differently coloured ones and saying they're attached to a specific precinct or what ever

[celest dome]

Do we think that Sister of Sigmar might appear in Old World ?

[queen laurel]

i mean if GW is willing to visit the idea

[celest dome]

Do you think they should or not ?

[queen laurel]

i don't know i mean i'm not against the idea

sisters of battle and sisters of silence are a thing

it's just not my thing

[celest dome]

Sister of Sigmar were cool

True Aura

[arctic talon]

I'd assume they just fall under warrior priests as warrior priestesses in the cities of sigmar

since warrior priests aren't gender locked in AoS

[celest dome]

Are or aren't locked ?

[languid meadow]

I hope they come back since weapon wielding nuns is always cool plus mordheim related stuff is cool

[arctic talon]

are not

sorry

[celest dome]

No worry

[languid meadow]

Begging that this novel ends up good

[arctic talon]

but imo if we get an updated warrior priest mini

I'm 100% sure it'll have male/female heads

tbh

[arctic talon]

its by Haley so it'll be mediocre at worse

[languid meadow]

I just hope it's good for necrons and not just an imperium wank fest (Gman and cawl are in it so prob)

[celest dome]

||It will though 💀||

[languid meadow]

[shadow plover]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

me too

[queen laurel]

Didn't they make bretonnia less sexist

[arctic talon]

They made Bretonnia no longer the most comically sexist fictional faction in all of warhammer yes

[queen laurel]

OK how much did they tone it down

Because back then it was so bad they had to put a warning that if you want to play them in the role playing game it's OK if you ignore their sexism

[late osprey]

its just having women models of knights innit

[golden imp]

Are there pyskers in the custodes?

[arctic talon]

No

If there’s psychic potential in a baby that goes through gene alchemy

Then it sure as shit gets rid of it

Or the baby just dies due to incompatibility with gene alchemy

We dunno

[golden imp]

Just saw an ad for warhammer tacticus for new custodes units and one of them slammed a staff down and shot lighting from it

Was flabbergasted fr

Made me question

[arctic talon]

Prolly just gameplay

Tbh

[queen laurel]

That's just gameplay like how in space marine

Putting down the banner by the bulwark

Has this like light around it

[golden imp]

Yeah I figured there weren’t any. Woulda been a nightmare to work with the sisters

[languid meadow]

The unit is just a standard bearer but yeah, one of the main reasons that the sisters exist is to help custodes against psykers.

since it's one of their few weaknesses

[arctic talon]

Custodes are prolly getting an update soonish

[celest dome]

Atm there aren't Psykers, but there might be some in a specialised unit (though I wager there more sense in them getting Psykers attached to them when needed)

[arctic talon]

They’d just bring along psykers if necessary I’d assume tbh

They kind of have infinite authority lol

[golden imp]

Do you think they’d used cheap disposable ones or would the ones they bring be high level ones?

[languid meadow]

for the missions custodes do high level ones

[arctic talon]

^

Bring the best

[golden imp]

That’s a pretty cool

[languid meadow]

but like most psykers used in service of the imperium are higher level than the ones that get sacrificed

since they're useful and can be controlled

[celest dome]

Depend on the projected use tbh

Having cheaper discardable Psyker might be more useful at some point

[arctic talon]

This is true

[queen laurel]

To be fair if the only guy that can rival your authority is to literal son of the god you are guarding

You can kind of just do what you want

[late osprey]

combat psykers SEEM to always be of the less-replaceable category

since the replaceable ones just get turned into batteries for galactic radios if they don't get sacrificed

astropathic choir, everyone

worst job in the imperium

[arctic talon]

Mfw I scream all day

[languid meadow]

yeah basic sanctioned psykers would be considered expendable but even some of the most powerful psykers are "expendable" in the eyes of the system

[late osprey]

"What is my purpose?"
'You're a battery.'
"Oh my god."

[languid meadow]

except navigators but the system doesn't really see them as psykers

[queen laurel]

Yeah the only mutant we don't kill on site

Because we really need them for the ships

[arctic talon]

Navigators aren’t psykers

[late osprey]

well there's a difference still in the imperium between "We used that psyker on an important mission to save the world" and "Aw shit all 50 of the choir just burned out we'll need to pick up more while we're getting groceries."

[arctic talon]

They don’t interact with the veil and warp

The same way

[queen laurel]

But yeah they are mutants

They can just see paths through the water

Wapr

Whatever f*** it

[late osprey]

yeah i was about to say

none of cassia's powers cause veil degradation

[arctic talon]

Navigators don’t fuck with reality the same way

Psykers pretty much tear a hole open

Navigators like

[queen laurel]

Wait they can see through the warp yeah but that's just because of the astronomicon

[arctic talon]

That’s the third eye

[queen laurel]

So are they basically useless if you turn that thing off

[late osprey]

Well

[arctic talon]

The third eye can see the flow of the warp

[late osprey]

Not really

[arctic talon]

No

[late osprey]

They can do it normally, the Astronomicon makes it safe

[arctic talon]

They can still see in the war

The astronomicon is like a lighthouse/compass

[queen laurel]

Ah i see

[late osprey]

Its said that they come from their use in DAoT, which is pre-Astronomicon

And pre-Warp Hazards

[arctic talon]

Also at the end of the day

[late osprey]

It USED to be a lot safer to do warp travel

[arctic talon]

Navigators can still melt your brain

Whenever they want

Open the funny third eye

[queen laurel]

Look at this little girl this rogue trader decided to bring i'm just going to kill her

Gets a obliterated with a third eye laser

[late osprey]

Cassia accidentally saving my first RT playthrough will never not be funny to me

[arctic talon]

Cassia is da goat

[late osprey]

I thought she was essentially a useless civi character since I put no thought into building her, usually I'd bring a team of all mercenary soldiers for my guardsman LARP

It turns out

Cassia fucking explodes Aurora with her mind

Where all of my soldiers get gunned down in the street like dogs

I brought her specifically expecting NO combat

https://tenor.com/brsTV.gif

[queen laurel]

Yeah just put her away and watch as her third eye incinerate someone into ash

[arctic talon]

I do think it’s funny

That cassia looks so

Not dangerous

She’s probably the strongest member of the party

[queen laurel]

I mean she is your ship's navigator and somehow your rt can have the bright idea of

Bringing her outside in danger

Like

[arctic talon]

Bar like Idira or Heinrix going completely wild

[queen laurel]

What does that accomplish

[arctic talon]

But they’d both prolly die horribly

[late osprey]

I still don't bring her because she steps on my Officer RT's toes, and also the RP of bringing her off the ship is always weird to me

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[late osprey]

But now I know she's bullshit OP if I ever get stuck

[arctic talon]

Cassia is by far

Having the strongest origin

The navigator powers are fucking nutty

[late osprey]

Heinrix actually has the highest DPS but requires the most deranged build to do it

Cassia can just be a monstrosity just by turning your brain off and picking all navigator talents

[arctic talon]

Lore wise rather, but yeah Heinrix can do some stupid stuff gameplay wise

Lol

[queen laurel]

To be fair

Spoilers by the way don't read if you do not want to know the story yet

||She does have that artifact power thingy||

[arctic talon]

Well

[late osprey]

Apparently the thing you do is give Heinrix the workers' chainsaw and also the Executioner archetype

[arctic talon]

Even without that she’s a navigator

[late osprey]

And he just does like 2000+ damage per round by end game

[arctic talon]

She can instantly kill anyone

She wants

Navigators can just do that lol

[queen laurel]

Not my character romancing her

[late osprey]

Her abilities are just brutally tuned up.

[arctic talon]

Lol

[queen laurel]

Apparently being built different i can tank a full-on blast to the face

[arctic talon]

But lore wise if cassia wants to kill someone

[late osprey]

I wonder if the scripts for her are still wacky

[arctic talon]

She can just stare at them really hard with her third eye

[late osprey]

In my first playthrough I romanced her, we parted amicably since she has to be leader of the Navigator house and the end slide was

[arctic talon]

And they’ll suffer horrific brain and internal damage

[queen laurel]

The nobles asking to see her third eye are f****** stupid

[arctic talon]

They fixed the ending slides mostly

[late osprey]

"Holy shit she hated the Rogue Trader's guts so much she used that to turn herself into a badass."

[arctic talon]

Calcazars breaks sometimes

But that’s it

[late osprey]

Im like goddamn the breakup wasn't THAT bad

[queen laurel]

Yeah the way she is raised she is rather

Uhh

Lacking in is the ability of socialization

[late osprey]

No, there's different slides depending on how you treat her, is what I mean

But I got the one where you're a total asshole to her despite romancing her

[queen laurel]

I thought her that being nice is a good thing and

Got a good wife of that so that's good

[late osprey]

Cassia is unfortunately a horrible mutant fish freak so I was totally fine when she had to break up

[queen laurel]

But you chose to romance her

Why the hell would you romance her if you see her as a fish freak

[late osprey]

Because I thought the dialogue was cute

I'm a sucker for courtly romance

The only non-freakazoid option for male RTs is Jae, but she essentially revenge-p0rns you to the whole ship for the lols. NOT a very good person!

[queen laurel]

But you did not want to treat her like a human being?

[late osprey]

I'm literally Space Cortez, why would I treat anyone like a human being?

[queen laurel]

Just confusing

I love courtney romance but i will not treat my partner like i care about them

[late osprey]

All I'm saying is

[languid meadow]

me with the kroot woman in DH

[late osprey]

Female RTs are dining on fine caviar while Male RTs are stuck with McDonalds

[queen laurel]

Well you know there is another one for

More insane male rts

Kibellah

[late osprey]

Also if you check on the owlcat discord like

[queen laurel]

The assassin girl

[late osprey]

99% of the art is female RTs getting seduced by heinrix

He's the Imperium's Most Eligible Bachelor

it's hilarious

Kibellah IS at least human

But she's also a psychotic lunatic

[queen laurel]

Yes psychotic enough to keep up with a dark eldar mind you

[arctic talon]

Tbh she can be normal

[queen laurel]

One of the rt dialogue choices is literally hilarious

[arctic talon]

It just takes a bit

Lol

[arctic talon]

Kibellah is great smh

[dapper gyro]

Oh, you can fix her?

[queen laurel]

To be honest if you want a i can fix her you can go with cassia and kibellah

[arctic talon]

Heinrix is the best romance in the game though

By far

Lol

Nothing comes even close

[queen laurel]

Yeah you can

By making her realize that being an assassin isn't really all that is to life

[late osprey]

It's hilarious how insanely popular Heinrix is vs all the other ones for romance

[arctic talon]

Well she’s still a violent psychopath

She’s just a lot more human

She’s less “I’m a living weapon and tool™️”

[queen laurel]

Thing is he's just some smooth super handsome guy because of biomancy inquisitor

But apparently it doesn't take a lot for people to fall in love for that

[arctic talon]

I mean have you done his romance

It’s great

Lol

[late osprey]

As it happens, most people seemingly like conventionally attractive people.

[queen laurel]

I mean it's definitely good because like he actually shows improvement emotionally when you show him that being kind isn't a bad thing

[dapper gyro]

I love my gun, too. (no, gun is not a slang for girl in this case).

[arctic talon]

He has by far the best romance tbh

Kibellah is like the second best

If you want a like

[late osprey]

And yeah his writing is literally some ultimate "I can fix him" fantasy

[queen laurel]

So his basically the shadow heart of this game?

[late osprey]

Conventionally attractive + Fixable Broken Man is like

the ultimate romance fantasy

[arctic talon]

Use smite in bed Heinrix NOW!

[queen laurel]

Can you imagine him using biomancy on his penis

[dapper gyro]

Too kinky, my dude...

[late osprey]

His romance ending slide also has him like

Leave everything behind and become a fugitive just out of love for the RT

[arctic talon]

The creature is back

[late osprey]

Which is Edward-tier

[arctic talon]

He also can become master of whispers for you

Tbf

[late osprey]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a woman who wrote Heinrix LOL

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah since you said that pretty boy is first and assassin girl second which would you rank cassia

[arctic talon]

In terms of writing quality?

[dapper gyro]

Wait, since psyker can use telekinesis, that mean one can also control the fluid and therefore no need for protection?

[arctic talon]

Like 3rd or 4th place

Tbh

[queen laurel]

Hey that's good enough

[late osprey]

Ok he's not THAT much of a pretty boy, he's still visually like

40

[arctic talon]

I think maharazi is written really well romance wise

Even if like

His romance is

What’s a good word

It’s very dark eldar

[queen laurel]

Dude how did you make something just as bad as mine

Really psychic birth control?

[celest dome]

You know what, something saddening for that trailer I guess is that the narrator wasn't doing their own spin of the speech

[arctic talon]

I agree

[late osprey]

I like how when you go Chaos with Marzahai you essentially out-Freak the Freakster

And he gets scared off

[queen laurel]

I still hate the fact that guides on this game are abysmal

I can't find any good romance guides bro

[celest dome]

But, at the same time, having a dlc with the speech for playable Votaan

[arctic talon]

I wonder if votann are playable on launch

Lol

Actually I wonder if the game will have multiplayer

[celest dome]

They aren't sadly

[shadow plover]

Didn't they state they'll be a npc faction

[arctic talon]

Reasonable

[arctic talon]

I forgor

[queen laurel]

Fuck

I was looking forward to that

Wemo

Necrons it is

[celest dome]

Hoping for dlc 🤞

[spring cairn]

if that's the case i retract everything i said about mechanicus 2

dogshit game

huge pile of garbage

[late osprey]

Do you want just a guide or the whole-ass cheat sheet?

[queen laurel]

Missing to maximize my romance game

I want to get the best good guy ending for romance because i'm apparently just superman

[shadow plover]

I'll take Votann as an npc faction, better than nothing!!

[late osprey]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JenL74LpnxLfTdwfIuLy5P_k0Jqi8YlI2SSt4p_oIPE/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.wf610rdg1bwz

[queen laurel]

Hey they still haven't gotten a new announce model in the table top better than nothing

[late osprey]

This tells you exactly what to say at each and every moment for exactly the ending you want LOL

It's the cheat sheet

[shadow plover]

they being among the last factions to get a codex makes me hope for a few new models once it drops 🙏

[celest dome]

I will be honest I was thinking that there could be some Earth Cast Tau faction in preparation for Mech2

[queen laurel]

Does it guide me romantically with kinellah and cassia?

[arctic talon]

Earth caste don’t fight as a militarized faction generally

That violates the greater good/tau’va

[celest dome]

Ye, but they're the "tech" faction for the Tau

[arctic talon]

Make it Bor’kan tbh

[queen laurel]

Nah i want an ork mekboss leading a tekwwwaaaaghhh

[late osprey]

Just normal Tau would work well enough too

[celest dome]

Having Earth Cast act as the head honcho of the expedition

[celest dome]

Could be fun too
And offer a widely different gameplay

Mech5 should have some tech focused faction of every race

[queen laurel]

Yeah and the abilities having r n g elements like

Energy bomb

Has a 25% chance of accidentally blowing up cover but

Deals a lot of damage

Just absolutely chaotic

Or like a killkan having an overload ability where if it the rng doesn't favor you it just deals damage

But if it does favor you congratulations you're weapons now hit harder

[celest dome]

I had hoped that each faction (so Necron and Admech) would have 2 types of character + summons

Like Tech Priest and the Crypteck, or Skitarii Marshal and equivalent

[queen laurel]

Imagine a mekboy just having a spawn deffdread ability

[celest dome]

Deff dread would be really cool as a character instead of a summon, just taking him would take 2 slots and cost much more or something

[queen laurel]

The mechanicus watching as a literal pile of garbage with enough weapons to level a small town rolls up to the battlefield

[lyric grotto]

Fair enoughhhh I guess

[sour hornet]

Just like real life

[astral burrow]

I love this woman

[late osprey]

who is that?

[astral burrow]

Danica from pariah nexus

Great show

Well very short show

[storm jungle]

White woman...

[late osprey]

why's she called danica?

[languid meadow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/971904116144095292/1298312105069514812/media-iv-text.gif

Short hair gyad damnnnnn

[astral burrow]

Cuz that's her name?

[astral burrow]

Short white hair with bangs

And that red blood on the hair

Absolute peak

She is too pretty for an asshole

[dapper gyro]

Too crazy for her own brain. There is no fixing.

[astral burrow]

She did get fixed

A bit too late tho

[dapper gyro]

Nah, she realized that she is broken beyond repair, that's it. No fix.

[astral burrow]

Acknowledging the problem is pretty much halfway to fixing it

And she didnt shoot the preacher

[storm jungle]

Well she was basically gonna

[astral burrow]

That's progress

[storm jungle]

she got what was coming to her

[astral burrow]

But she didn't

[storm jungle]

[astral burrow]

Yeah but she is hot so it is okay

[storm jungle]

[astral burrow]

This is joke, she sucks

Well, sucked up until the last 5 seconds

[dapper gyro]

Don't kid your self. All of their armour are padded. Most of them are flat.

[astral burrow]

And? I don't mind that

I don't like em big anyway

[dapper gyro]

I'm a light and tight enjoyer, but SoB? No good.

[astral burrow]

Putting boobs on armor is so stupid tho

But I guess it looks cool?

Well not really

But someone must have thought so

The helmet is really cool tho

Shouldn't they be really muscular underneath the armor

[dapper gyro]

At least the SoS are more bearable even though they are blank. Because they don't talk!

[astral burrow]

I keep reading SoB as son of a bitch

[arctic talon]

They are

[astral burrow]

Thats awesome

Who cares if they are flat

Aren't they like really tall too

They are gorgeous, wish they weren't assholes

[dapper gyro]

They are fit... because they have to control the armour without the black carapace.

[arctic talon]

The armor itself has that out of universe because Alan Bligh drew it that way

In universe it’s for propaganda + so the church can talk about how it’s woman at arms, not men at arms

[astral burrow]

I could still tell it is women without the boobs

The armor is already curvy

[arctic talon]

Yeah but it’s the ecclisarchy

[late osprey]

Boobs on armor is also not as absurd as HEMA ragers like to claim

[dapper gyro]

Which is very good athletic. Nevertheless, they are still unfixable.

[arctic talon]

Also the armor was originally

[astral burrow]

They are called sisters of battle it is very obvious

[arctic talon]

From Goge Vandires

Funny incident

[astral burrow]

You never know

Should be easier to fix than a kriegswoman

[arctic talon]

And they were called “brides of the emperor” back then

[late osprey]

Goge Vandire AKA Space Mormon

[arctic talon]

And goge was kinda weird

Well

[dapper gyro]

Too hard to look for the 1% of the good SoB.

[arctic talon]

Really weird

[astral burrow]

That's weird

Aren't they more like daughters of the emperor

[arctic talon]

Yes that’s the point

[late osprey]

They were originally a cult called Daughters, Goge basically sponsored them and renamed them to Brides, then when they turned on Goge they renamed themselves back to Daughters

[arctic talon]

Anyways goge got his head sawn off by the leader of the brides of the emperor after she talked to the emperor

Yeah

[dapper gyro]

Daughter of the big E was given to SoS.

[lofty mason]

What is the most underrated technological aspect of the Imperium? Mine is genetic engineering. IoM has some pretty advanced genetic engineering tech compared to some / most sci-fi settings.

[arctic talon]

It’s def genetic engineering stuff

The imperium are the best at it in setting aside from the drukhari

[late osprey]

underrated?

data science

[arctic talon]

Oh

That’s a good one

Lol

[late osprey]

writers tend to flipflop but by and large the Imperium's ability to use data to its advantage is absurd for its scale

[dapper gyro]

The issue is that it went backward from the better times...

[late osprey]

IRL its cohesion probably isnt possible at all

[astral burrow]

SoS?

[late osprey]

sisters of silence, the most talkative of the imperial subfactions

[astral burrow]

How good they are at actually mixing flesh and steel

The whole servitorization thing is fucked up but impressive

[late osprey]

i mean they do bionics like everyone else

[arctic talon]

That’s the mechanicus

And the answer is the mechanicus is very good

[astral burrow]

That's still part of the imperium

[late osprey]

oh you're responding to the other thingy

about their most impressive tech

[dapper gyro]

You see that Lady fingering with the custode in the HH trailer? That's a SoS.

[late osprey]

please dont say it like that LOL

[dapper gyro]

😶

[languid meadow]

Hype moments and aura

[late osprey]

I love that warhammer character!

[languid meadow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/971904116144095292/1298312105069514812/media-iv-text.gif

[astral burrow]

I didn't watch it

[languid meadow]

you should

[astral burrow]

That sounds crazy tho

[languid meadow]

even if you don't play HH their trailers are great

[astral burrow]

But doesn't answer what SoS stands for

[late osprey]

Save our Souls

[languid meadow]

Sisters of Silence

[astral burrow]

I ougta watch all trailers

[astral burrow]

Are they like sisters of battle but stealthy?

[languid meadow]

no they're a part of the Talons of the Emperor which the Custodes are the main part of

They're blanks and the reason they have silence in their name is two meanings, they silence psychic powers and they don't talk

[storm jungle]

Is that actual British sign language?

Or did they make imperium's own?

[languid meadow]

yeah SoS sign language is based off of BSL with some new words added in iirc

[astral burrow]

Ah

I have a friend who knows ASL was gonna show her

[storm jungle]

they advertised it on warhammer community beforehand

[languid meadow]

the motion capture is done by people who speak BSL which is cool

[storm jungle]

Hi larmoth

Everything looks dumb when sped up

[dapper gyro]

Not just jammer, it is way more than that.

[spare osprey]

he just gets normal eyes for no reason

for a single panel

[astral burrow]

Psyker EMP

[dapper gyro]

SoS level can be walking and warp entities around them die.

[languid meadow]

I lost my clip of the SoS walking up to the psyker in the tithes episode

fuck

it's like the perfect video of them

[astral burrow]

Isn't that like amazing

Why don't they just throw them into the warp

A lot of SoS

[lofty mason]

Considering that the Imperium has like a million worlds and most of them are not featured in any media (I think since 1987 only around 200 worlds are mentioned but probably less than that), is it possible that a world where it is basically a utopia similar to Star Trek's Earth exists somewhere in the Imperium?

[dapper gyro]

That SoS didn't even active her full power, she wants to keep the snack for the throne.

[spare osprey]

cause it's their realm

[astral burrow]

Isn't this krieg pre rebellion

[spare osprey]

blanks work because they disconnect daemons to the warp

same with psykers

[languid meadow]

Krieg was a pleasure world iirc which is not really a Utopia

think of vegas 24/7 across an entire planet

[arctic talon]

It was a paradise world

Slight difference

Krieg still had economic output and such

[languid meadow]

right oopsie
