its way more varied since they come from all walks of life

vital kernel
#

None of the new Lore contradicts the existing defition of the Adeptus Arbites.

Which none of your excerpts have managed to refute either, you're just reducing it to that single aspect of their responsibility.

storm jungle
#

Arbites meanwhile are entirely brainwashed

#

well mostly by propaganda than literally but ye lol

#

also are like absolute psychos

#

FYI hes talking to a corpse

late whale
#

Where does the name Illisi of the cleave force-sword name come from?

storm jungle
#

oh wow

#

okay i didnt know this either

#

that is actually pretty cool

late whale
#

Ah so a similar origin as Traxis

storm jungle
#

Yeah looks like it

#

pretty neato

late osprey
# storm jungle

people talk about being afraid of inquisitors, arbites are practically empowered to be just as scary, and there's a shitload more of them

#

if i were an enforcer captain and i heard an arbite was coming to my precinct, i'd have a heart attack

storm jungle
#

Yeah their entire joke is they are IRL police brutality turned up to 11

#

also stems from the ripple of Judge Dredd which itself was a parody of the awful UK police of the 80-90's lol

late osprey
#

well also like how their brutality doesn't even end at citizens

#

just about ANYONE is liable to get turned into shotgun jelly if the arbites charges you with a crime

late osprey
#

imagine being an enforcer but the arbites just shoots you in the face because he discovered you were corrupt

storm jungle
#

Yeah unless they got orders to take you alive.

#

Either way you are basically fucked so lol

#

sucks to suck i guess

late osprey
#

well they have A LOT of discretion in what they do, don't they?

#

a bit like judges from judge dredd in that regard

#

they're the judge, jury, and executioner all at once

storm jungle
#

Yeah that is still a thing.

late osprey
#

you never know what they're gonna do. that's terrifying

storm jungle
#

they are basically evangelist-cops with shotguns

#

its why id really recommend reading this rulebook, it updates a lot of older lore to the modern times

vital kernel
#

Depending on the rank of the Arbites it will probably be at their own digression.
The whole point of an Arbites is to make swift and independent decisions and deal apropriate punishment on the spot.

late osprey
#

i could imagine SOME exceptions existing like the investigation/arrest of the politically powerful

#

taking down the planetary governor if done wrong could start a civil war

#

but generally its like arbites getting able to do whatever they want when they're in the field

#

well, "whatever the lex imperialis says" is how they'd defend it

vital kernel
#

Arbites are the law.

#

Thats the whole point of having Arbites around. They arbitrate legal questions. There is no need to defend their actions because punishing criminals is their entire purpose.

#

If an Arbites killed you the case is closed. Noones gonna question the legality.

storm jungle
#

The issue was we accidentally killed an Administratum Magistrate which were hunting us across the entire story. We only get them off our asses when a Ordo Famulous agent they were paired up with "rescues" them by proving their innocence and that the Magistrate was corrupt

#

(they still broke our legs/noses and threw us in a cell before they found the truth of it though lol)

blazing wraith

I AM THE LAWN

storm jungle
#

On cue Kek

blazing wraith
#

Anyways, I'm re-reading the eisenhorn books now that I'm older and wiser, and goddamn. They're good.

storm jungle
#

Always were

blazing wraith
#

It's so great how much of a hypocrite eisenhorn is.

#

Wait this isn't book chat

#

Who cares

#

Anyways

#

Good books

#

It's also really interesting to me how quixos was probably correct.

storm jungle
#

He could be but alas the Inquisition has the cooler drip so I must agree with the warcrimes Eisen does instead.

lavish zephyr
#

starting my journey on horus heresy, im gonna be 40 by time i finish this

forest orbit
#

Oh yeah speaking of Dilara Im curious does the book have any bits mentioning what arbites do regarding low level crimes like you said?

storm jungle
#

Word by word if thats what you are looking for lol

forest orbit
#

YES thats perfect, i need this for something so yoinking that

#

this is form Soulshackle too right?

storm jungle

The Horus Heresy is a series of novels, anthologies and audiobooks based on the historic events known as the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, about 10,000 standard years before the present 41st millennium. The novels are written by different authors, but follow the same storyline - the fall of Warmaster Horus and his campaign of treachery to ...

#

Heres all of them

late osprey
# storm jungle

the idea that the Arbites know that a coup's going to happen beforehand but won't do anything is so funny to me

storm jungle
#

its one of my FAVORITE bits from the rulebook its so fucking funny

late osprey
#

imagine being the Governor and the Arbites just don't tell you that your own Planetary Guard are going to break into your house and kill you tonight

storm jungle
#

I DO appreciate how the writers at least acknowledge as long as the civil war/uprising doesnt damage the planet too much and is just to replace a ruler

#

it makes a lot of sense

lavish zephyr
#

all my lore knowledge come from adeptus ridicilous and tts :)))))))) i might to actually get a real source

The fact that you reading anything from the official sources already makes you smarter than most of the fanbase

(this isnt even sarcasm 💀 )

vital kernel

#

They allow it because it doesnt affect the way the planet is run and might even make it be run better if the new ruler is gooderer than the last one.

languid meadow
#

the entire imperium is just clan mors when you think about it

storm jungle
#

There IS a giant rat who makes all of the rules

#

so you might be onto something

late osprey

Imperium being Skaven, not Empire, is my favorite Ultimate Truth

late osprey

there's even a big chair reserved just for the absent god-ruler

storm jungle

the rats run deep

What kind of rat?

Any kind.

I was going to say it’s chapter indeterminate then noticed the laurels

arctic talon

Nah

#

thats indeterminate

You mean vannys?

Laurals aren't UM only

Yanny

or whatever they're called

astral burrow
#

I said ultramarine cuz ultramarine logo smh

sacred ginkgo
#

Actually is that even Primaris

#

It looks like new scale non Primaris with that chest armor and the cables below it

astral burrow
#

Who cares it is just a marine

#

Are there even non primaris marines anymore

sacred ginkgo
#

Yes

arctic talon
#

you can tell bcs of the leg flares

astral burrow

Leg what

arctic talon
astral burrow
#

Where we the flares

sacred ginkgo
arctic talon
#

its intentional

#

tbh

sacred ginkgo
#

Just looks a bit out of place

astral burrow
#

GW wants you to think it isn't a primaris frfr

#

So you don't look twice but the real chads will buy Warhammer+, get it, and kick your ass fr

sacred ginkgo
#

That and the old giant mouth vent

astral burrow
#

There is a new helmet style?

#

I always seen the same one

sacred ginkgo
#

Yeah

#

Primaris helmets have 6 diagonal slits on a plate instead of a giant A shaped grill

astral burrow
#

Such a big difference fr

#

Wish they changed it altogether

vital kernel
arctic talon
#

its normal MK7 helmet

vagrant fox
#

A return to tradition, very good
Delay all other factions until every marine model is revamped in this fashion

astral burrow
#

Cuz there ain't enough marines!

astral burrow
#

Have u guys played

#

Jedi survivor

dapper gyro
#

The helmet and the abdomen are mk7. The rest is Mk10T.

#

The lower body looks more like Mk10 gravis.

#

It is a mix of so many things.

Glad we can choose to not have it too

Hope the buffs are great to make up for it

Being a Ping keystone Vet I might get some mileage out of it, but we will see

Mark VII helmet, Mark VII-style stomach cabling

#

Absolutely love to see it

astral burrow
#

Man I hope they elaborate on what is up with KB

#

That implant and "accident" mentioned are just too interesting to not be curious

#

Might be the first time I seen a droid human hybrid in star wars

#

Well there was lobot but that was just some background guy

#

Her name too, what kinda name is "KB"

polar hill
#

Wookiepedia says her parents' names are Garree and Maree, so KB might just be a punky shortening of Kabee

astral burrow
#

Makes sense

#

But the girl that's pretty much half droid being called KB, like a droid prefix, does seem like it could have a deeper meaning

#

Or that's why it is her nickname, which is kinda fucked up

astral burrow
#

Omg it is skeleton from skeleton crew

rose thorn
#

They killed Genestealer cults entire gimmick because it was too complicated people complained online

#

And gave it to tyranids

#

They killed GSC army rule and made them a fucking melee army and gave the army rule to tryanids

#

GW just hates GSC’s

raven stone
#

More attracted by new 40k rules, reading the above.
I share your sadness about GSC rules change though.

queen laurel
raven stone
#

And of course Imperial Agents get a fat nothing

rose thorn
#

To be fair the last time they got a new regiment it’s the worst one in the game

raven stone
#

GW really be shitting on any human factions that isn’t Guard.

#

Chaos Cults, GSC, Imperial Agents…

rose thorn
#

Lmao

#

LoV

raven stone
#

(And never mind the Gue’vesa who now only exist in Lore or self made conversions stand in)

rose thorn
#

If it’s not wearing power armor it gets bad content

raven stone
#

I mean, GW got slightly better now, Sisters/Guard are finally being fed every now and then. Custodes are always gonna be OP, so are Knigths.

#

They have marginally improved to “If it’s not Imperium aligned it gets bad content. Except Agents, because they are the Imperial stepchildren that gets mistreated.”

#

Even Ad Mech is getting their list fixed.

polar hill
#

Dang my Nitro ran out

raven stone
#

Ok yes lorewise fully correct there

nocturne crest
#

Would anyone want a kill team made up of Crusaders?

raven stone
#

It would be nice, but I am slightly doubtful it would happen

#

Sadly

celest dome
#

I mean, it would give a lot of Crusader miniatures

#

That would be nice

#

But like it would kinda be redundant to the

#

Imperial agent KT

nocturne crest
raven stone
#

I think the Sisters of Battle got Sacristans for the purpose of replacing them…

nocturne crest
#

Yeah, I can't seem them making a Crusaders killteam because of the imperial agents or that recent one that fought goremongers.

celest dome
#

From Battle fantasy ?

#

Oh they reused the name

raven stone
#

If they do reintroduce them, expect them to get a Gothic rename

#

Because Crusaders is too generic a word to be copyrighted.

How to turn a star wars ship into a microfighter

It could be fun

But those have some stupid specialized pieces

celest dome
#

Tbh, I don't really see what else they could do for the Imperium as Kill Team.
Admech got one not so long ago, but maybe one set around Electro Priest could be nice

#

Maybe Ogryn team

astral burrow
#

Reject team

#

Pls

queen laurel
celest dome
#

Reject are already there with Inquisitorial Agent

#

Not sure if there is a Psyker in it though

celest dome
#

Could feature more varied weapons style

nocturne crest
#

Here's a thought: What about Killteam based on the various houses that help the imperium? Like naviagtor, crusaders or knight houses all in one box or something?

polar hill
#

Man (ignore the missing textures)

I love the way modern Marine anatomy just makes sense; the exposed neckseal puts the neck muscles into perspective, which puts the shoulders into perspective, then finally where the arms connect
All normal, albeit upsized, human proportions, with a strategic layering of plates that conveys the sense of inhuman bulk without overly limiting the range of motion

It's all so logical and I adore it

There's factions missing KTs

that should get them lol

Deathwatch(ironic), Grey Knights, Daemons, Emperors Children

Deathwatch don't have a killteam?

arctic talon

here's all the teams rn

Gellar pox I don't count as a team since they're from 2 editions ago and are super jank

Wait, should the orks have two kill teams? The commandos and that one which fight the ratlings?

That was also the last time Crusader mini got updated

plush mason
#

so if Tau had a bigger presence in the warp you think Tzeentch would get more out of them than he does the humans currently?

#

or would the strick caste system limit their ambition too much

crystal forum
#

they dont have many psykers and it's pretty hard to find plots in a society with such strict rules

plush mason
#

yeah

crystal forum
#

still there's always room for chaos to grow

plush mason
#

ofc its just Tzeentch gets more out of humans than any other race

polar hill
#

See: Khorne and Farsight

plush mason
#

yeah

crystal forum
#

that's not normal tau

plush mason
#

but for Tzeentch humans have hope and ambition

#

2 things he feeds off of

crystal forum
#

doesn't he also really love psyker

plush mason
#

yeah but his main sources of power or whatever are hope and ambition

#

because both things drive change

#

ofc he feeds off of anything that drives change

#

so greed is one as well

polar hill
#

'Cause Seer Psyker Darktide has a shard of the Emperor in his head who actually protected the Seer from entering the realm of Tzeentch at one point

celest dome
#

Psyker in general

#

And debatable on what the "beloved" is

polar hill
#

Barely

#

He's too helpful, knows too much, and again, protected the Seer from Tzeentch

#

Anyway, yes, Tzeentch does have an affinity for Psykers, not only as elements of change, but as conduits for sorcery

rocky gale
#

Behold the most generic space marine mini to ever be

polar hill
#

He is beautiful in his simplicity and I love him

#

And he looks better with the helmet on

rocky gale
#

I could make it with spare parts, absolute waste of a special mini

storm jungle
#

I like him because he has the old red bolter and the hazard-markings

#

next mini pls

winged jacinth
polar hill
#

I mainly like how he's such a thorough blend of Firstborn and Primaris aesthetics with the MkVII helmet and stomach and yeah, the red bolter

raven stone
winged jacinth
#

You dont get to be a daemon of tzeentch unless you do a little trolling just because

raven stone
polar hill
#

Blizzardification?

winged jacinth
#

Honestly considering how long the models have been getting iterated on they're amazingly non-goofy overall

raven stone
#

The original Primaris art and Style looks like something right out of Blizzard.

polar hill
#

??

raven stone
#

You know, bright colours, round sci-fi contours

polar hill
#

Even Firstborn had bright colors and round contours

#

Even in 30K

raven stone
#

Check out 3rd edition art

#

Not 30k art, 40k 3rd edition Marine art

round tartan
#

Pretty sure Blizzard's designs were inspired by Warhammer.

plush mason
raven stone
#

Designs wise definitely.
But…I don’t know how to word it best.
If you looked at 3rd edition Firstborn art and compare to Primaris art

#

Primaris art just feels…tonally NOT GW art.

round tartan
#

Warcraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer game. But in the end Blizzard just ripped off the entire setting and called it their own thing.

polar hill
#

Almost like there was a 19 year gap in aesthetics?

raven stone
#

Less a gap, more like a massive switch

#

Since the artstyle was consistent up until Primaris era.

#

They could have done Primaris in the same “gritty” manner so to speak.

#

Even if they are a newly introduced thing.

polar hill
#

I just can't agree with that sentiment tbh

raven stone
#

Ok fair enough

#

They might have dialled back the Primaris changes, or I just had a biased misconception to start with

winter vessel
shadow plover
#

it's just the different artists mostly, not everyone paints in that gritty style

round tartan
#

It's too clean, too sanitized. Here's some box art that actually gets your blood boiling, just some drunk random villager with any weapon they happened to hav on hand.

winter vessel
#

2nd on the right holding it like a gangster, lmao

shadow plover
#

well you're posting Karl Kopinski, it's just unfair to compare anyone to him

storm jungle
#

it was way worse in the mid-2000's

round tartan
#

Anyone? I'd say John Blanche is a serious contender

raven stone

Comparing anyone to Blanche is like comparing Muhammet Ali to a coughing baby

Funny enough, the ammo storage under pauldron comes from StarCraft.

#

But then for some reason, people associate it to 40K.

vagrant fox
#

starcraft more like stinky

dapper gyro
#

Same thing with "Armour is less for protection and more to keep the user safe from recoil"...

#

Which comes from Gear of War and not Starcraft...\

#

Then there were some quote from Killzone, but associate with Halo... I can't remember though.

vagrant fox

Killzone my beloved 😔

Killed just before it's prime, its moment to shine

Unnumbered mentions of “Helghast would be right at home in Imperium” on YouTube comment nowadays

vagrant fox
#

Based and cool and Imperialpilled

#

I would've liked a game from the Helghan side of things besides mercenaries but you know how people are with totalitarian dictatorships these days

I remember my first reaction to 3’s intro. “Where the hell do you keep hiding this many?!”

raven stone

You cannot know what bad is if you don’t talk about it.

humble shoal
#

Forget what it was called

vagrant fox
#

Absolutely, ignoring it does no one any good and just leaves you ignorant

humble shoal
#

The one with werbell as a faction leader

vagrant fox
#

what the one where the north koreans invade?

humble shoal
vagrant fox
#

Yea I know, it's pretty funny

humble shoal
#

The new order

vagrant fox
#

Oh, eh, I don't care about Wolfenstein. It never quite hit right for me

humble shoal
#

Where the best faction was led by definitely upstanding citizen Mitchel Werbell

humble shoal
raven stone
# humble shoal Thats red dawn ~~and wasnt originally koreans~~

Yea we can be honest and say they wanted the game to sell in China, but due to all the War Crimes scenes they had to change to North Korea.

If they were not so bone headed to include War Crime Scenes they might have gotten away with China (to appeal to Chinese nationalists)

vagrant fox
#

Ooh that new order

#

Next time I'm in a HoI 4 mood I've got it on my list, last time was Kaiserreich and then I got bored

humble shoal
#

Who made the supressor for the mac-10

#

And irl was poisoned looney toons style

vagrant fox
#

I've genuinely completely forgotten about this guy, one of those funny 20th century guys who did a lot of weird stuff

humble shoal
#

Yeah

#

And was definitely not involved with coups in every continent.

near dragon
#

are Ogryns like Astartes gone wrong or what

humble shoal
#

No

near dragon
#

abhumans

humble shoal
#

Ogryns are abhumans

near dragon
#

how do they come about

humble shoal
#

Which means stable

near dragon
#

failed transformations?

humble shoal
#

They are stable mutants

near dragon
#

what mutates them

humble shoal
#

Space marines are just mutants, not stable

humble shoal
near dragon
#

i thought adeptus astartes were once men turned into space marines

humble shoal
#

Yes

#

But they are sterile

#

They can only be made

near dragon
#

but who is turning people into abhumans

humble shoal
#

Ogryns are born

near dragon
#

oh i thought because there's no female they were made

humble shoal
#

There are female ogryns

#

Just not in darktide

near dragon
#

so they like breed and have ogryn communities

vagrant fox
#

They're around just not really depicted, yea
They're a subspecies of human or what have you, with baby ogryns and all

outer wave
near dragon
#

ohhhhhh they're a different evolutionary branch

celest dome
#

Beastmen aren't mutated, they're also evolved into what they are now

humble shoal
#

Yes

storm jungle
humble shoal
#

Abhumans are just humans who over time have mutated

outer wave
#

Yes, Ogryns evolved on certain high gravity worlds full of danger

humble shoal
#

And are stable

storm jungle
#

its just way more wild

queen laurel
near dragon
storm jungle
queen laurel
#

they are basically stable mutants that can reproduce

humble shoal
#

Moreso like the tree people now

celest dome
#

the only Abhuman that are mutation per se are the 2 that aren't really Abhuman (Psyker and Blanks)

near dragon
#

and the imperium reclaimed their neanderthal ogryn world

storm jungle
#

Missing limbs, being tall, too big, etc

storm jungle
humble shoal
queen laurel
#

yeah they are usually from high gravity worlds

humble shoal
#

Are catechans abhumans

storm jungle
#

no

#

lol

humble shoal
outer wave
#

Now that I think about it: I wonder if Ogryns developed better cancer-prevention genes as a result of being much bigger

storm jungle
#

they are just really muscular people

humble shoal
queen laurel
humble shoal
#

There gotta be a mutation in there

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

like the sisters of battle

storm jungle
#

theres no mutation

#

they just train hard

#

its due to their upbringing

queen laurel
#

unusually strong because they just train like like a maniac

storm jungle
#

which is funny because being a roidfreak look-wise is not really the "peak" human form

humble shoal
#

Do they just kill the short people?

vagrant fox
#

They're universally 80s action heroes due to their upbringing, that makes them cool and rambo like

humble shoal
#

Like dont see any reason why they wouldn't be abhumans being ork sized

storm jungle
#

they arent abhuman bcause they arent mutated

#

all that shit is from the training regimens they go through

queen laurel
static wren
#

catachan coconut dodgeball

queen laurel
#

They are literally forced to always be on the move

outer wave
#

Do you think Catachans could theoretically evolve if enough time was spent on Catachan?

humble shoal
#

Thought they got big just by living in that environment tbh

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

we just said that

humble shoal
#

With all of the megafauna and shit

storm jungle
#

💀

queen laurel
#

we literally just told you it's their environment

humble shoal
#

Death worlders are mutants

celest dome
#

Catachan aren't Abhuman cause making them Abhuman wouldn't service the Astra Militarum 💀

storm jungle
#

they arent

#

theres no "base" form of a deathworld

humble shoal
storm jungle
#

next question

vagrant fox
queen laurel
#

It's just like how people are in the world

#

If they grow up in a certain environment they get used to it and adapt accordingly

humble shoal
#

The adeptus administratum is keeping it hidden from us

storm jungle
#

and GW also doesnt understand how evolution works

outer wave
queen laurel
celest dome
#

Yes, we're all nerds (derogatory) and stupid (not derogatory)

humble shoal
storm jungle
#

For example

outer wave
#

No but I touched on genetics

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

the entire thing of ogryn worlds having high gravity thus causing them to grow large is wrong

#

it would be the opposite

hallow saddle
#

i did a biology degree and worked in a lab

storm jungle
#

aka low gravity

#

lol

outer wave
#

Yep

queen laurel
#

You you guys cannot that's my abysmal intellect

humble shoal

#

strictly speaking any non-earthlike environment would induce evolution on the proper timeframe

vagrant fox
#

I won't go extinct, I'll live forever

late osprey
#

what a Catachanian Human would look like? no idea

storm jungle
#

It would definitely be something akin to african tribesmen somewhat

#

those fuckers are built for hunting/living

#

lots of muscle but also tall/stretched looking

humble shoal
#

Probably

#

Or smaller

late osprey
#

All Tomorrows is pretty fun at exploring this stuff

outer wave
storm jungle
humble shoal
storm jungle
#

Yeah that too

queen laurel
humble shoal
storm jungle
#

every "human" in that was genetically experimented on

late osprey
#

it actually was in part 2

#

but part 1 yeah

storm jungle
#

well

#

"experimented"

#

more like tortured for jokes

but 💀

humble shoal
#

Human blankets

late osprey
#

the Forcibly Evolved Humans finally get their revenge millions of years later it's ok

storm jungle
#

lol yep

#

also while we are speaking of evolution

#

remember when God of War Ragnarok was coming out

#

and they revealed how Thor looked

#

and people were like

#

"WHAT, HES NOT MUSCULAR?"

#

"HES JUST FAT"

celest dome
humble shoal
#

That is whaf peak performance looks like

storm jungle
#

Im pretty sure half the world had no idea what "strongman" physique was back then

#

lol

vagrant fox
#

I had a gym teacher with that kind of Thor build and he was the strongest mfer ever

storm jungle
#

The whole gut-muscle thing is really interesting yeah

humble shoal
storm jungle
#

YEP

late osprey
#

i think fat thor was a little over the top but yeah nobody should've been expecting Chris Hemsworth

storm jungle
#

Tbh

late osprey
#

because he wasn't just strong fat the guy was an orb

storm jungle
#

hes a literal slob

#

it fits him

#

this is the same guy that drank a literal ocean

outer wave
humble shoal
queen laurel
late osprey
#

he's also a warrior and a raider, which are his stronger traits more than his feasting (which everyone was idealized to do)

celest dome
#

High Oxy normal gravity probably would be the Ratling KEKW_ogryn

humble shoal
#

Most of those predators would just f up an ogryn

Ogryn also encompass multiple strain

Most beeg bois evolve in areas with low competition right?

outer wave
storm jungle
#

I legit doubt theres a way for every catachanii to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger

late osprey
#

also the norse were much like us in that when they did describe their characters (such as in Njal's saga) they liked describing them as all being super hot

storm jungle
#

also like

#

catachan makes no sense as an ecosystem

#

so we havent even got into that either lol

humble shoal
storm jungle
#

no

#

shut up nerd

humble shoal
vagrant fox
#

Yea they all have the hercules gene

my favorite addition was the Marine's mouth is completely melted
