Ya know, realistically, I don't think there'd be many nations who'd need to be intimidated into joining. Most world governments are wholly self-serving, and the material bonuses of being a low-population world in a space Empire are just too good to pass up

humble shoal
#

Other option is paradise world

#

Might work

plush mason
#

i imagine the ship's void shields wouldn't even drop 10% lmao

humble shoal
plush mason
#

yup

humble shoal
#

At least hitting a target above atmosphere

arctic talon
#

Agriworld maybe(?)

polar hill
#

Lord-Captain, they've fired a nuclear device at us. It's falling back down.

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

Would require some level of terraforming which I’m not sure is worth investing

arctic talon
humble shoal
#

Either way if pleasure world we are all probably enslaved anyways

arctic talon
#

Where it’s just all tropical or some shit

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Just a different flavor of enslavement from the usual working one

#

Might be worse arguably smarf

lofty mason
#

Probably a lot of religious upheaval too. Seeing humans from other planet, which is statistically impossible. This probably cause IoM to be more angry KEKW_ogryn

humble shoal
#

Could be an agri world

#

That would suck

arctic talon
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Mmmm

storm jungle
#

you give humanity way too much credit

arctic talon
#

Fertilizer

storm jungle
#

we can barely get along with each other

arctic talon
#

Turn the oceans into algae farms

storm jungle
#

if an outside force came we'd absolutely try violence first lol

arctic talon
#

Rest of the planet into flat

storm jungle
#

people would largely only join after total decimation/intimidation

arctic talon
#

Dilara

storm jungle
#

no

arctic talon
#

Do you have the art of the agri world

#

From maledictum

storm jungle
#

Oh lol

#

hld on

arctic talon
#

With like the super fucked up root plants

arctic talon
#

No not that one, but good enough

humble shoal
storm jungle
humble shoal
#

Which would end even worse

arctic talon
#

The rainy one

#

With like

#

Tubers

humble shoal
#

Second proposal was fistbarge

arctic talon
#

Of some variety

#

Tbh whatever the case they’d just bombard whoever didn’t surrender from orbit

#

Imo

plush mason
#

most world leaders would join the IoM if only for the promise of being made the rulers of the world after they take it over

lofty mason
#

I'm pretty sure Mechanicus will probably be very interested in Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. KEKW_ogryn

humble shoal
#

Its matrix math in a dress

plush mason
arctic talon
#

It’s not sentient or sapient

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

Silica animus is a lot narrower then people think

lofty mason
#

Craziest part is that this scenario we're talking probably happened some time in the 40k timeline. Since there are worlds lost to the Imperium just to be rediscovered and "re-integrated".

humble shoal
#

Anyway which imperial group would be the worst?

#

I think tech priests

#

Followes by certain chapters of space marines

arctic talon
#

Mechanicus

#

Not even fucking close

plush mason
#

its between them and the ecclisarchy imo

arctic talon
#

Lol

humble shoal
#

Then ecclesiarchy

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

The ecclisarchy would probably try to shove the emperor into our religions

#

And if that fails

#

Usual level of violence

humble shoal
#

Yeah ecclesiarchy is not the worst

lofty mason
# arctic talon Mechanicus

NGL, when I started 40k, I thought Mechanicus is probably the least evil faction in IoM since they only do science and tech stuff. Boy, was I wrong.

sly ivy
#

The machine god’s eye is upon us

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Nah the mechanicus are like

#

By far the most evil imperial group

#

Lol

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

One uses more slaves

humble shoal
#

The latter has less slavery

arctic talon
#

LOL

plush mason
#

and even if they didnt they would purge anyone that tried to hold onto the current religions of the world

arctic talon
#

The classic

plush mason
#

so many billions would die

arctic talon
#

The ecclisarchy prefers multi theist religions

#

When it’s integrating worlds

#

Because it’s easier to shove the emperor in

#

And then basically slowly turn him into the dominant god

plush mason
#

yeah and all the major ones we have rn are monotheist

humble shoal
#

But yeah I think certain colorful sm chapters are close to the mechanicus

arctic talon
#

Me when Minotaurs

#

Or marines malevolent

humble shoal
#

Like a lot of blood angel chapters

arctic talon
#

Or Carcharadons

#

Actually

#

Carcharadons would be the worst

#

By far

plush mason
#

yummy red tithe

arctic talon
#

Because they love mass enslavement lol

humble shoal
sly ivy
#

Wat I feel like the rank and file ecclesiarchy, like regimental priests etc, would be among the best people in the imperium

arctic talon
sly ivy
#

Sure corruption at higher levels but

plush mason
arctic talon
#

By the ecclisarchy as an organization is

#

Extremely evil

humble shoal
#

A drusian could be chill

arctic talon
#

Remember the ecclisarchy is a death cult lol

sly ivy
#

What we see on the ground is mostly actual compassion, self sacrifice, etc

#

And comfort

polar hill
arctic talon
#

I mean it is

arctic talon
#

It exalts death

#

And sacrifice

storm jungle
#

a mountain of stories showing how corrupt most of the clergy is

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

It’s not like that type of death cult

humble shoal
sly ivy
#

Yeah bc they’re abundant and powerful. But again I’m talking about the on the ground guys

arctic talon
#

But it is a religion that exalts you dying for the imperiums cause

storm jungle
#

the Imperial Cult is not really suppose to be a nice religion

sly ivy
#

Nah we just don’t get their stories

storm jungle
#

Nah, we do.

arctic talon
#

We def do

storm jungle
#

they arent really people to like or aspire to

arctic talon
#

There’s one who eats his own gun

#

I forgot in which book

scenic bolt
#

Huzzah institutional rot

arctic talon
#

It’s either a munda or warhammer crime one

polar hill
sly ivy
#

They’re off tending to the sick in the underhive or attending to morale like in gaunts ghosts

arctic talon
#

He grows disillusioned, drinks himself half to death and then blows his head off with a stub pistol

humble shoal
#

Heironymous was a nice guy

arctic talon
#

From rogue trader?

#

No lol

humble shoal
#

He definitely didnt do something suuper fucked up

arctic talon
#

He’s uh

#

He’s interesting

#

I’ll give him that

humble shoal
sly ivy
#

Well I mean in 40K the worship and shit they force people to do literally powers humanity’s best weapon

arctic talon
#

Does one absurdly fucked up deed

sly ivy
#

The corpse on the throne

#

#

Even if the rest of your actions are like

#

btw, anyone know if it's intentional that the ships in dune look like sandworms?

storm jungle
humble shoal
#

The least evil is probably the administratum which is the most cursed part

storm jungle
#

its said in the concept book

plush mason
storm jungle
#

yeee

humble shoal
#

What if we implanted soulstones into space marines

sly ivy
#

Fulgrim literally did that to himself

plush mason
#

seeing this, i do not look forward to going into the deep desert

sly ivy
#

It didn’t end well

humble shoal
#

Did he lol

#

That actually explains a lot

polar hill
#

Wyd if your ship's machine spirit asks if you'd still love her if she were a worm but she's already a Navigator vessel

lofty mason
humble shoal
plush mason
#

if not start it themselves

#

and then the 40k imperium would find out the hard way why dune lasguns have a shield lock lol

polar hill
#

Shield lock?

plush mason
#

yeah

polar hill
#

OH like literally locking shields

#

Nvm

plush mason
#

no the gun locks if the target has a shield

polar hill
humble shoal
#

Bolter rounds would probably still rock a dune shield no?

lofty mason
#

Dune sense of scale is really horrible lol. Like Dune's Imperium has 15,000 planets, but only around 80,000 Sadaukar to keep them in check? Even IRL Earth has way more soldiers than that.

polar hill
#

That is significantly less cool than guns with interlocking ray shields

plush mason
#

because if the laser hits a shield it makes an infinite energy loop that results in a nuclear explosion

storm jungle
#

Dune doesnt really have weird goofily overpopulated planets like 40k

rocky gale
storm jungle
#

they are usually all settled in one cluster/specified regions with like a single proper city.

storm jungle
rocky gale
#

They aren't like the sole military force

plush mason
#

also the sadaukar are not the main army of the imperium afaik

storm jungle
#

Dune is basically Game of Thrones in space.

#

theres other standing armies and men-at-arms, etc

plush mason
#

every house has its own troops for controlling and protecting the planets they own

#

sadaukar are basically the custodians of dune, and like the only enemy the freman respect

humble shoal
rocky gale
#

Each House has their own standing army, plus the Landsraad has a unified army of conscripts presumably taken from each of the Great Houses

plush mason
#

you have to do something really really stupid to get the sadaukar called on you

#

like highjack whole spice shipments

humble shoal
#

Saudakar arr actually just arbites

plush mason
#

a fusion of them and the custodians

It isn't false

it isnt, but that only makes it even more cursed

rocky gale

and if I remember right there's talk of 50 legions spread throughout the galaxy at key locations

True

#

Fandoms generally have their own unique(ish) problems

#

Along with the regular stuff

plush mason
#

yup

opaque coyote
#

40k is in the category where there's just a lot of Nazi's

#

Along with tactical FPS games like Arma 3

#

And also Hearts of Iron 3

humble shoal
#

Amd Jin Roh

opaque coyote
#

Cartoon fandoms generally have little Nazis are more weirdos in comparison

#

Generally I prefer weirdos and perverts over racists and Nazis. But that's like preferring horseshit over dogshit.

opaque coyote
#

40k does have a lot of weirdos but it's generally less in proportion compared to say idk

#

MLP

#

Instead replaced with racists

#

My favorite

#

@humble shoal also another funny trend is that most horror game fandoms make cutesy art

#

Especially if it also has a cutesy exterior

#

See DDLC. A game that's essentially existential horror

#

You wouldn't know it if you looked at most of the fanart lmao. Although tbf it still is a visual novel. Just one that devolves into horror. This... also makes it more interesting than most VNs for me LMAO.

#

Although tbf that's probably just fans coping due to the fact that the characters don't exactly have

#

the best fate

Goes for most horror media in general

#

the jump from the mk3 blood extractor to the mk4 is crazy

#

mk4 on the left

polar hill
astral burrow
#

Sent from gattling gun size to pistol

plush mason
#

goes from extracting half the person's total blood to almost all of it

#

400ml short of it in fact lol

umbral kraken
#

id rather have one just big enough to steal enough blood to make all humans blackout

#

presumably 50% of someone's blood would cause that

plush mason
#

no that would kill them

#

in fact it only takes 30% bloodloss to kill someone

#

so yes both of these blood extractors could kill someone if used on a living person

I been asking for a while I just can't pick I hate choice paralysis

opaque coyote
#

It's the same with policemen

#

...and workers

#

...and a lot of things actually

#

I can easily imagine Imperial Cult leaders using their position to uh

#

"get favors"

#

AKA "The Emperor wants you to lay with me."

#

Goge Vandire ahh moment

#

Basically the Imperium should have a lot of localized non-chaos/Xenos/mutant level of corruption that gets ignored

#

Precisely because they aren't heretics, Xenos, or mutants

#

Enforcers shaking down the local mom and pop shop for "protection" money

#

I guess the reason why GW doesn't tackle it that much is because it's either too real or too "boring"

#

Probably a combo of both

sly ivy
#

Goge Vandire and crew are soooo waiting for great BL novels

sly ivy
#

I’m also corrupt but it’s unrelated

late osprey

#

Dark Angel successors can have differing colors based on the 1st and 2nd company

Though those do tend to still be bone and black respectively

#

Aside from colorized company markings

#

I.E: trim

Where the heck is Eli to call me Cecil Rhodes again

I’m comin down I need a hit

arctic talon

Though not all chapters use trim to show company Ect.

I call it the codex Astartes, it ryhmes with grug

arctic talon
#

Lol

rose thorn
#

i know its not rare for first companies or companies with a gimmick to have different schemes

arctic talon
#

It’s usually some difference in heraldry

#

But not an entire different color scheme

#

Like Minotaurs get red shoulder pads and codex compliant chapters have white helmets

#

Ect.

#

The ultimate clusterfuck color scheme wise is either Tau or craftworld eldar aspect shrines

#

Tbh

#

Since Tau septs literally do not have a standardized color scheme aside from sept markings and I guess parade colors

#

Which are always a specific color

sly ivy
#

ugghadslfkjsflasdlk I can't believe you're calmly discussing color schemes. No one has even implied the other guy is a fascist in like 10 minutes.

ffs

@arctic talon I forget do you play tabletop?

arctic talon
sly ivy
#

What the fuck does the stupid ' even signify in Tau names

#

Is it like a click

#

A gurgle

#

Is it a fart

arctic talon
#

It’s a separation in words

winter vessel
#

And there’s a blue color Sept too right?

arctic talon
#

Yeah

sly ivy
#

THAT'S A SPACE

arctic talon
#

No

sly ivy
#

A SPACE IS A SEPARATION IN WORDS

arctic talon
#

There’s a specific thing for it

#

Smh

sly ivy
#

Every shitty sci fi/fantasy setting does a "hurr durr let's make a name look exotic" thing and adds the stupid '

arctic talon

the word after the ' is always accented more heavily in Tau

God damn it

I'm gonna learn uber hacking skills and bring back Eternal

#

The Tau sept is the white one

#

for markings

#

T'au'n is white on light grey for parade colors

#

for the true massochists

#

and yes sept marking colors can double dip, because fuck you

late osprey
#

i did a lot of reaching on tau because Tau v IG is legitimately my favorite matchup both aesthetically and when i played on tabletop

#

their playstyles riff off of each other very well in a way that's fun

#

with tau being very much about targeted strikes and careful planning and the IG being about overwhelming their plans

#

all of my most interesting games were fighting Tau as Renegades

arctic talon
#

tbh Tau are very interesting on the tabletop

#

due to how they're designed lol

#

however people do not enjoy using their brains

#

so they die to 10 morbillion pulse munitions to the skull

one scene i remember was rolling up my leman russ to take more ground, and it got bursted the next turn by deep-striking fusion crisis suits

#

LOL

sly ivy
#

Honestly Astra and Tau are both great because they have such a variety of units

#

I don't really understand what's going on with Kroot rn tbh

late osprey
#

their playstyles are opposites in a way that's fun

#

sorta like a yin/yang way

arctic talon
sly ivy
#

I know but I mean meta wise

arctic talon
#

kinda stealthy

#

like on the tabletop?

late osprey
#

like they both have the basics of gunlines, tanks, melee specialists, but utilize them all completely differently

sly ivy
#

Like first I hear they're ass then I hear they're good

arctic talon
#

Kroot were ass

sly ivy
#

yah tabletop

arctic talon
#

for like

#

a long time

#

they're good now though

#

bcs they got buffs at the start of this edition

sly ivy
#

Well that's good b/c they're a nice addition .

arctic talon
#

Kroot were uber ass in 9e

sly ivy
#

I do like that Guard melee is weird shit

late osprey
#

tau should get a Gunship update, because i actually think their tanks are really cool

sly ivy
#

It's ogres and horsies

arctic talon
#

the Tau range holds up remarkbly well tbh

#

firesight marksmen looks great for a mini thats older then the people who say tau don't fit canon

late osprey
#

tau are also a faction that has an actual army and not like 5 people

#

single entity-based armies are so aggravating it legitimately was part of the reason i stopped playing

arctic talon
#

Thankfully

#

there's barely any this edition

#

tbh

late osprey
#

them and custodes but they're technically not SEM

arctic talon
#

There's only the fucking

#

Calgar list rn

#

since they took guilliman out back and shattered his fucking kneecaps

hated every minute of that game

#

I do wonder if GW shifted to Vior'la as the poster child

because Forgeworld was doing Vior'la

and specifically investigating the validity of a firewarrior + gunship build

#

BREACHERFISH

#

BREACHERFISH

late osprey
#

fish of fury is back?

arctic talon
#

no

#

But a new strat is called breacherfish

#

where you load as many tau breachers as you can into the fish

#

and then you run the fish up midboard straight into the enemy army

#

so your breachers can blow them apart with their comically strong guns

late osprey
#

lmfao

#

i thought breachers were a meme unit

#

cuz you know

arctic talon
#

Tbf they are fucked if they get charged

late osprey
#

field battle of shotgunners for a ranged army

arctic talon
#

but S6 AP-2 with assault is nothing to scoff at lol

#

also the ability breach and clear lets them clear out objectives

late osprey
#

breachers would be an amazing aesthetic for a kill team

#

even if they don't use shotguns

#

just model breacher helmets + pauldrons onto other units

arctic talon
#

Yeah def

#

I love the uparmored look

#

even if it confers literally 0 benefits on the tabletop lol

#

XV-15 would also be good as a killteam

#

or some updated version of XV-15

#

fucking tau power armor that can become invisible lol

late osprey
#

yeah kinda obvious now that you mention it LOL

arctic talon
#

Tbh it straight up had the power armor statline lol

#

I do find it hilarious how XV-25 which replaced XV-15

#

is bigger

late osprey
#

well you know basically all of tau tech advancement post-debut is them getting MORE impractical

arctic talon
#

well the thing in lore is actually better

#

its more quiet + protective + it can fucking fly now

late osprey
#

"so we actually need to make giant units and guns to keep up with everyone now lol"

arctic talon
#

LOL

#

Tbh I'd say the enforcer, coldstar and ghostkeel

#

are all practical

#

at least regarding like mechs

#

they're just better crisis with more armor and gun, better crisis with more gun and speed, extremely fast invisible suit thats basicially a plane on the ground

Does each navigator house have their own way of navigating or is it more just a person to person thing?

Can death watch marines use necron Gauss rifles?

#

Or are they beyond human comprehension?

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Many necron weapons being used by the imperium. Though it is still rare because of the difficulty to convert and because of the paperwork for it to not be heretical.

opaque coyote
#

Besides the technology difference. Necron ranged weapons also spill out a ton of radiation, and their fuel source comes from their cores. So you'd need a good way to protect yourself from the radiation, a consistent fuel source, and be able to do a lot of tech Heresy.

#

Also they're heavy... even for SMs.

golden imp
dapper gyro
#

Also they don't want it to be misused or failing into some bad renegades.

opaque coyote
#

So yeah generally the only Necron tech that is used somewhat consistently are their melee weapons.

dapper gyro
#

Pre 9e 40K is much weaker than 30K.

#

They intentionally nerfed everything to avoid rebels.

golden imp
#

Only necron melee weapon I know of is the big stupid swords the destroyers use

storm jungle

No lol

#

Necron destroyers are massive

golden imp
#

No I mean

storm jungle
#

also as with any weapon, shit kinda varies in size

The sword is the size of a person

So who am I to say

opaque coyote
#

The Necrons also got a War Scythe

golden imp
#

Records of deeds on staff goes hard

opaque coyote
#

Specifically used by high ranking mfs

I like to believe all the stuff they deal with in current 40k is not worth putting on the staff

Compared to war in heaven

# golden imp I like to believe all the stuff they deal with in current 40k is not worth putti...

Also

"A curious side effect of the warscythe’s power field is to render the weapon almost impossible to destroy. There are several well-documented instances of warscythes surviving direct hits from lascannons, and even from turbo-lasers, with little harm to show for it. Unfortunately, this protection does not extend to the wielder, and it is quite common for a warscythe to survive a battle where its master does not."

golden imp
#

But it’s a glaive

#

Guardian glaive doesn’t sound as good though

dapper gyro
#

I just realized that I never called it a spear...

sly ivy
#

; destroyed 12 stars

opaque coyote
#

"Killed C'tan"

golden imp
#

That stuff always kinda makes me sad

#

Eldar were amazing warriors but they die like fodder a lot

dapper gyro
#

Typical 40k.

storm jungle
#

you are as strong as the plot allows

dapper gyro
#

Even custodes die like fodder from time to time.

golden imp
opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

It doesnt matter.

dapper gyro
golden imp
#

I feel like the average guard in eldar worlds should be untouchable to a marine

#

But they just get blasted

opaque coyote
#

I think the Phoenix Lords are in-between Custodes and Primarchs

#

If I remember correctly

golden imp
#

Simply weave around the bullets

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Phoenix lords are primarch like. But they have to die to prove the power of someone else...

storm jungle
#

Now in comparison

opaque coyote
#

Hell some of them might have not even followed any combat path

storm jungle
#

we should talk about the plot armor of someone like Lucius

#

Mr Respawn pls

golden imp
#

He dies

#

No plot armor smh

opaque coyote
#

💀

storm jungle
#

one of my favorite 40k excerpts ever

#

legit looney tunes shit

opaque coyote
#

I'm just imagining them being like

#

"Okay so I can revive with- no that wouldn't work..."

storm jungle
#

tbh thats the thing

#

when the setup for respawning is impossible she just poofs him back into existence

#

so Lucius doesnt even follow his own rule

#

lmao

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

If lucius just fell and dies, the planet would turn into Lucius as well....

golden imp
#

I think everyone hating him is why slanesh keeps brining him back

#

She feeds on that kinda stuff lol

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Well some people killed him without feeling anything, and chaos spaws him back anyway.

storm jungle
#

^

#

Its literal peak plot armor.

golden imp
#

Ok now that’s not as cool

dapper gyro
storm jungle
#

If he cant spawn back, he just poofs into existence ala Slaanesh.

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

because its funny i guess

opaque coyote
#

Then again making up a role and not following it fits them

golden imp
#

What happens if a primarch kills him

#

Fun times

dapper gyro
#

Raven Guard Marine killed him and thought he was some common mob and moved on.

dapper gyro
#

Lucius can't spawn on him, so he just spawn elsewhere...

opaque coyote
#

Why do I feel wei-

dapper gyro
#

Maybe the guy who made the RG marine weapons feels pride????

golden imp
#

Speaking of primarchs so I got this right

#

All primarchs are somewhat warp related but that doesn’t mean they are pyskers right?

opaque coyote
golden imp
#

The lion doing the weird shit he’s doing now his just a warp related power and not a pysker thing

storm jungle
#

yeah its a superpower

#

its not psyker powers

golden imp
#

Got it

storm jungle
#

think of them as Marvel/DC Supes and you are more or less done really

dapper gyro
#

All of them do, with exception of Magnus.

golden imp
#

Magnus pysker powers being super powers

#

Was weird

storm jungle
#

Magnus is my fav

arctic talon
#

Tbf magnus does follow Psyker rules

#

Lol

#

He’s just uh

storm jungle
#

he can literally do anything he wants from how OP he is

#

but he just doesnt

arctic talon
#

A daemon now as well

storm jungle
#

because script

#

lol

golden imp
#

Also man I really need to read the burning of prospero

#

Magnus sounds so cool there

arctic talon
golden imp
#

When he gets up

arctic talon
#

Until he gets deus ex machina’d

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

he can literally turn you into a statue

arctic talon
#

Warzone fenris has him absolutely pop off

storm jungle
#

or evaporate you

#

but he just doesnt

#

lmao

arctic talon
#

And then he gets beaten

dapper gyro
#

Magnus fallen because people bullied him.

golden imp
#

Is dorn a blank?

arctic talon
#

By deus ex khorne axe

#

Lol

dapper gyro
#

Nope...

arctic talon
dapper gyro
#

Dorn suppresses the warp, but doesn't suck it away.

arctic talon
#

He just “knits” the warp together so to speak

golden imp
#

I remembered hearing pysker stuff kinda washes over him

#

And doesn’t really bother him

arctic talon
#

He makes it harder for warp shit to happen

#

If you launch a fireball at him

#

It’s still a fucking fireball

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

It’s just that making the fireball is barder

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Because warzone fenris

#

Literally proves

storm jungle
#

because like-

arctic talon
#

He can do it all

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

he sometimes WANTS someone dead, badly

arctic talon
#

He’s gone fucking blow up fenris

storm jungle
#

he wouldnt toy around with them lol

golden imp
#

Magnus is smart when he’s not being dumb

arctic talon
#

And then deus ex khorne axe

#

Breaks his shield

golden imp
#

He should consider everything

arctic talon
#

Of nothing can fucking hurt me

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

also the perfect example is him vs Vulkan

#

he kills Vulkan like

#

over what

#

30 times?

#

LMAO

opaque coyote
#

Because well

golden imp
#

Do you think there was a timeline where Magnus didn’t fall to chaos?

storm jungle
#

nope

#

its all pre-destined

dapper gyro
#

Let's not talk about timeline.

opaque coyote
#

Magnus managed do somehow do nothing wrong.

Literally. His task was literally just to do nothing and he failed miserably.

storm jungle
#

because we need 40k to happen

dapper gyro
#

If we play the what if game, then nothing can be done.

opaque coyote
golden imp
#

It’s fun to think about

#

What if dorn was a khornate general

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
# dapper gyro No, Laati.

I mean I remember some fanfics that are essentially alt. Heresies. I remember one called the Dornian Heresy?

golden imp
#

Oh

#

Gonna look that up later lol

#

I can’t see dorn leading a heresy though

opaque coyote
#

Y'all act like fanfic is just people kissing.

And you're wrong

It's only 70% of it

golden imp
#

He don’t have the charisma of Horus

#

I do think a Hersey with guilliman and perturabo on the same side would be neat though

#

Unending tide of bullets and marines

opaque coyote
#

Because he is competent. The problem is that the man is a black hole in terms of Charisma

dapper gyro
#

Guilliman is also 80% charisma.

golden imp
#

I thought guilliman was bland and boring but he changed your mind with “FACTS AND LOGIC” instead of charisma

opaque coyote
#

"Good parents" (except the Emperor but he wasn't there)

#

And

#

"A stable upbringing"

#

And

#

"Not raised in a hellscape"

#

Ironically enough this makes him special

crystal forum
#

all primarchs have supernatural charisma

dapper gyro
#

Well, the dude is the only normal intellect in the setting so far.

crystal forum
#

girlyman quite literally has caesar aura

opaque coyote
#

Is an asshole

opaque coyote
#

Like objectively

#

Seeing somebody from a somewhat more hopeful era just get crushed by how much time has passed and

#

How much things have devolved even from 30k

#

And despite that famous quote lamenting his circumstances. He gets right back up, and tries his fucking best anyways.

#

"Momma didn't raise no bitch"

#

It's inspiring.

#

...

#

If you ignore the fact that the Primarchs are all genocidal warlords but uh

#

We're just gonna shove that under the rug

#

It's a simple but relatable story. Although I never got poisoned to the point of being in a coma and then got killed and revived by a Ex-Dark Eldar cult leader and her Gyrinx

#

We can all relate to life just absolutely fucking you over despite you doing literally nothing to even cause it.

#

We can relate to waiting to give up.

#

But we can also relate to getting back up. You don't deserve it, but that doesn't mean that you can't just leave it there.

#

And if there's one thing you do deserve. It's getting through your struggles. It's putting your life back together.

im new to all the lore of warhammer so please bare with me , my question is " is the game total war warhammer 3 " related to the warhammer world and if so why we dont see space marines and why are the human race still stuck in medival era , im so lost xd

dapper gyro
umbral kraken
#

that's fantasy and this is 40k

dapper gyro
#

There is 40K, which is space scifi fantasy.
Then there is Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy.

neat lintel
#

ok so 2 worlds are not related to each other right ?

dapper gyro
#

Nope, other than some names, similarities and made by the same people.

#

Totally unrelated otherwise

neat lintel
#

ok thank you for clearing this up i was confused

umbral kraken
#

dont they share chaos gods so shouldnt they be related?

queen laurel
neat lintel
queen laurel
neat lintel
neat lintel
umbral kraken
#

they are minimally different universes. might be the same uh...reality? metareality?

dapper gyro
#

Well, AoS used to be the continuation/reboot, but then they keep on with the previous version at the same time, so... Whatever.

#

It is like Horus Heresy and 40K...

queen laurel
#

thing

neat lintel
#

something like different timeline or its just a different world

queen laurel
#

But now fantasy is back in the form of the old world so

#

meh

queen laurel
#

age of sigmar is connected to fantasy

umbral kraken
#

if they're completely separate why do they have the same chaos gods? and the warp?

dapper gyro
#

For me, it's just 40k and AoS/Fantasy.

queen laurel
#

Because it's the result of the ending of age of sigmar of the realms forming together

neat lintel
#

im having a brain melt down

queen laurel
# neat lintel im having a brain melt down

it's not that complicated basically fantasy used to be an old fantasy base setting that got ended prematurely turning into AOS but after a long history of time it's now basically its own thing with mentions of its old previous fantasy world once in a while

And 40K is completely different and is its own thing

dapper gyro
#

It's like way so many settings have elf and orc...

umbral kraken
#

so are there two khornes?

fantasy khorne and 40k khorne?

queen laurel
#

they have similarities here and like hallmarks of warhammer settings

#

Like the chaos Gods

#

but GW has stated they are not connected

neat lintel
queen laurel
#

they don't have the same lore

#

like the chaos gods are largely the same

neat lintel
#

yeah i meant like the gods and races

dapper gyro
#

A little bit...

neat lintel
#

but AoS/Fantasy dosnt have space marines right ?

dapper gyro
#

Nope

neat lintel
#

and the titus dosnt exist there

queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

Nope

neat lintel
#

ok makes more sense now

#

ty for clearing this up im trying to understand this world and lore

#

its amazing but can be confusing

umbral kraken
#

so they just named the chaos gods exactly the same thing...but they're not related...

#

that is tragic

dapper gyro
#

You can find some similar entities, but story wise very different.

queen laurel

Random fun fact

#

So Taskmaster (Marvel) actually has two interesting rules

#
  1. He doesn’t kill family/friends/couples. He’d much rather let them think he has honor than to have them going berserk at him.
#
  1. He doesn't go after Moon Knight
#

The reason why #2 is a thing is because uhh

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

Moon Knight literally committed what's basically a fucking 9/11 level attack just to get to Taskmaster

#

Taskmaster literally refers to this as his own personal 9/11

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

Deadpool is psychologically insane and therefore pulls out the most random of things

opaque coyote
queen laurel
plush mason
opaque coyote
#

There was an entire comic series about it

#

It was soon after 9/11, the writers and such personally letting out their grief

#

Looking back it's pretty fucking awkward to see shit like Dr. Doom crying at 9/11.

plush mason
#

makes sense

plush mason
opaque coyote
#

Since like, you think Dr. Doom would cry at 9/11? The only thing he'd cry about is that the plane missed Reed Richards.

plush mason
#

bit hypocritical of him there ngl

opaque coyote
#

Can't know the enemy's move if they don't know either

plush mason
#

afaik his whole shitck is predicting and copying his foe's moves

#

so i cant blame him for not wanting to face ones that completely negate that

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

yup

#

ngl, me and my friends building our base right next to a field of drumsand was most likely a bad idea

opaque coyote
#

Because on one hand, the writing in this is a genuinely beautiful statement

#

But then I see Dr. Doom crying and I'm just...

#

like

shadow plover
#

if it were someone else it could work

opaque coyote
#

I literally have no idea how to feel

opaque coyote
#

Or The Rhino

#

Not fucking Dr. Doom

shadow plover
#

some one less turbo bad guy

opaque coyote
#

Hell Magneto would've kinda worked

arctic talon
#

lol

#

so that the baxter building is the tallest

#

or reed let it happen

shadow plover
#

real

arctic talon
#

AM I WRONG

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

oh also can't belive he just has what looks like a normal ass gun in Tokon lol

#

Like I know he has guns and stuff

opaque coyote
#

"IT WAS REED RICHARDS! HE CAUSED THIS TRAGEDDYYYYY"

arctic talon
#

but this ones just like a normal ass black pistol

#

like it doesn't shoot normal bullets

#

but still lol

opaque coyote
#

bang

plush mason
arctic talon
#

nvm the gun is def fucked up

#

now that I get a closer look at it

plush mason
#

literally just a fucking luger

arctic talon
#

Nah its got like

#

an extra fucking bit to it

plush mason
#

no the bat pistol

arctic talon
#

Oh

#

the bat pistol

plush mason
#

its just a luger

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Very early Batman just fucking murdered his foes

arctic talon
#

pulling out the blicky

plush mason
arctic talon
#

also its a 4v4 fighting game

#

they're absolutely putting the fantastic 4 in lol

plush mason
#

heroes never killing was kinda the cornerstone of DC comics

opaque coyote
queen laurel
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

In the 1930s he just

#

outright snapped people's necks

#

I'm not joking

#

–Detective Comics #29 (1939) – Batman breaks the neck of henchman Jabah. (4)
–Detective Comics #30 (1939) – Batman snaps the neck of Dr. Death’s henchman Mikhail. (5)
–Detective Comics #33 (1939) – Batman blows up three of Kruger’s henchmen, tricks Kruger into killing his own henchman, blows up a couple more of Kruger’s henchman in a blimp explosion, then later causes Kruger to die in an airplane crash. (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
–Detective Comics #34 (1939) – Batman forces kidnapper Duc D’Orterre into a fatal car crash. (13)
–Detective Comics #35 (1940) – Batman causes a henchman to get impaled by a sword, then knocks Sheldon Lenox out of a window. (14, 15)
–Detective Comics #37 (1940) – Batman punches Count Grutt into a sword. (16)
–Batman #1 Part 2 (1940) – Batman allows a couple Monster Men to kill one another, shoots a couple of Hugo Strange’s henchmen, hangs a Monster Man, kills another henchman, and knocks a Monster Man off of a building. (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

#

This is VERY early batman

plush mason
#

yeah

opaque coyote
#

So honestly I've always thought of a Batman that develops the No Kill Rule later in his career to be an interesting concept

arctic talon
#

anyways 4v4 tag fighter means its going to be degenerate as fuck lol

opaque coyote
# plush mason yeah

"Remarkably, in Detective Comics #32 by Gardner Fox (1939), Batman terminates The Monk and Dala Vadim with a gun."

But they were both vampires and DC generally considers the undead as free game for murder.

#

It's funny to see this type of early stuff and how it evolves

queen laurel
opaque coyote
# plush mason yeah

He also did kill in some WW2 based comics. But all of them were Nazis so it doesn't count

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

After WW2 though, the no kill rule was firmly established

#

So the last kills Batman fully committed to that wasn't a really big deal

#

were Nazis.

#

Truly a hero.

arctic talon
#

thank fuck this isn't an MvC Game unironically

#

not that I dislike MvC

#

its just that its nice to finally see a new interpretation of characters kitwise lol

plush mason
#

lot of laws and what not looking to push "unsavory" things out of media

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

Clearly not meant to be taken seriously

arctic talon
#

the same way magneto and doom are a function as well/j

opaque coyote
#

They were clearly aware that what they were making was wacky

#

And it's entertaining to read/watch

#

Still though makes sense that comics became really edgy around the 90s

#

since for a while we got the dumbest shit imaginable.

#

Since people tend to overcorrect

Grappler of some sorts

#

probably will have an advancing move that can kara into a command grab

either that or the thing will do that

OP as fuccck

its arcsys

opaque coyote

they cannot help themselves
