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
i imagine the ship's void shields wouldn't even drop 10% lmao
Also our nukes are not designed for space
yup
At least hitting a target above atmosphere
Maybe, there are a lot of nice places on earth
Agriworld maybe(?)
Lord-Captain, they've fired a nuclear device at us. It's falling back down.
Think of the imperium, earth is a paradise world
Would require some level of terraforming which I’m not sure is worth investing
Some of the paradise worlds in 40k suffer from mono biome syndrome
Either way if pleasure world we are all probably enslaved anyways
Where it’s just all tropical or some shit
Yep
Lol
Just a different flavor of enslavement from the usual working one
Might be worse arguably 
Probably a lot of religious upheaval too. Seeing humans from other planet, which is statistically impossible. This probably cause IoM to be more angry 
Yeah
Extremely disagree.
Mmmm
you give humanity way too much credit
Fertilizer
we can barely get along with each other
Turn the oceans into algae farms
if an outside force came we'd absolutely try violence first lol
Rest of the planet into flat
people would largely only join after total decimation/intimidation
Dilara
no
With like the super fucked up root plants
No not that one, but good enough
I mean first proposal was techprieste
which one are you looking for
Which would end even worse
Second proposal was fistbarge
Of some variety
Tbh whatever the case they’d just bombard whoever didn’t surrender from orbit
Imo
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
I'm pretty sure Mechanicus will probably be very interested in Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. 
Which wouldnt happen
No because that isnt the abominable intelligence
Its matrix math in a dress
they would try to make it happen, it wouldnt work but they would still try
It wouldn’t
It’s not sentient or sapient
Yeah but Carl Weather Magus the 32nd needs his goverborship
Silica animus is a lot narrower then people think
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".
Anyway which imperial group would be the worst?
I think tech priests
Followes by certain chapters of space marines
its between them and the ecclisarchy imo
Lol
Then ecclesiarchy
Flesh eaters
The ecclisarchy would probably try to shove the emperor into our religions
And if that fails
Usual level of violence
Sam Altman mentioned
Yeah ecclesiarchy is not the worst
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.
The machine god’s eye is upon us
unless they make it a shrine world
Do you know what the difference between mechanicus and dark mechanicus is?
One uses more slaves
The latter has less slavery
and even if they didnt they would purge anyone that tried to hold onto the current religions of the world
The classic
so many billions would die
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
yeah and all the major ones we have rn are monotheist
But yeah I think certain colorful sm chapters are close to the mechanicus
Like a lot of blood angel chapters
yummy red tithe
Because they love mass enslavement lol
The blood angel chapter with the blood towers
Wat I feel like the rank and file ecclesiarchy, like regimental priests etc, would be among the best people in the imperium
Yummy yummy civilians in my ships tummy
Sure corruption at higher levels but
It depends
Ultimately
yup
A drusian could be chill
Remember the ecclisarchy is a death cult lol
Ehhhh
I mean it is
We get like-
a mountain of stories showing how corrupt most of the clergy is
I mean there are actual death cults
It’s not like that type of death cult
We talking deacons not bishops
Yeah bc they’re abundant and powerful. But again I’m talking about the on the ground guys
But it is a religion that exalts you dying for the imperiums cause
most of the honest priests/holymen tend to not live long for obvious reasons
the Imperial Cult is not really suppose to be a nice religion
Nah we just don’t get their stories
Nah, we do.
We def do
they arent really people to like or aspire to
Huzzah institutional rot
It’s either a munda or warhammer crime one
Exalting self-sacrifice isn't evil, and in the eyes of the average Imperial, the Imperium's cause is humanity's survival
They’re off tending to the sick in the underhive or attending to morale like in gaunts ghosts
He grows disillusioned, drinks himself half to death and then blows his head off with a stub pistol
Heironymous was a nice guy
He definitely didnt do something suuper fucked up
Hes a thing
Well I mean in 40K the worship and shit they force people to do literally powers humanity’s best weapon
Does one absurdly fucked up deed
The corpse on the throne
Also causes billions to die so
That, yes
He’s an interesting debate on morality
So trillions might live 
He is a total psycho
*also die, more like kek
Just give him the funny book
me when War of Faith
…. Ok true shhhh
This is why we must embrace the art of Waaaaagh
Devate over
If you dont like someone you should just punch them its true
Have a problem? Punch it
Rogue Trader is probably the least evil of them all. And probably Adeptus Astronomica.
Heh
They are extremely evil if you mean institution wise.
Based Turk warrior philosophy
btw, anyone know if it's intentional that the ships in dune look like sandworms?
The navigator ships looking like worms is intentional
The least evil is probably the administratum which is the most cursed part
its said in the concept book
thought so
yeee
Bruh
Fulgrim literally did that to himself
seeing this, i do not look forward to going into the deep desert
It didn’t end well
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
Wonder how would Dune Imperium react to IoM 
The bodycis weak but the souls is willing
the mentats would look at the servitors and call for war
if not start it themselves
and then the 40k imperium would find out the hard way why dune lasguns have a shield lock lol
Shield lock?
yeah
no the gun locks if the target has a shield

Bolter rounds would probably still rock a dune shield no?
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.
That is significantly less cool than guns with interlocking ray shields
because if the laser hits a shield it makes an infinite energy loop that results in a nuclear explosion
I mean
Dune doesnt really have weird goofily overpopulated planets like 40k
Sadaukar are only the Emperors personal guard
they are usually all settled in one cluster/specified regions with like a single proper city.
Also that yeah
They aren't like the sole military force
also the sadaukar are not the main army of the imperium afaik
Dune is basically Game of Thrones in space.
theres other standing armies and men-at-arms, etc
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
Holy roman empire IN SPACE
Each House has their own standing army, plus the Landsraad has a unified army of conscripts presumably taken from each of the Great Houses
you have to do something really really stupid to get the sadaukar called on you
like highjack whole spice shipments
a fusion of them and the custodians
Also don't think that number is accurate, a Sardaukar legion is 30k, and we see atleast 6 legions in the first book
the ones from death worlds sure, any other chapter its a toss up
A legion is loaned to the Baron and then when the Emperor comes to Arrakis he brings 5 more
it isnt, but that only makes it even more cursed
and if I remember right there's talk of 50 legions spread throughout the galaxy at key locations
Which is 1.5 million
Space Marines?
...God damn do I hate 40k scale
Larmoth u like star wars right?
No, Sardaukar
Yes
Ah nvm
Albanians
Also
#40k-lore-chat be like:
thats just fandoms in general
True
Fandoms generally have their own unique(ish) problems
Along with the regular stuff
yup
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
Amd Jin Roh
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.
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
Can you help me pick?
Oh right that's out
Didn't send the other one lmao
Why is chewbacca mewing
the wookie has his bowcaster mounted, so i pick that one
Mounted?
He is just holding it in his hand
oh i see that now
on an unrelated note
what the fu
matpat is now a fucking politican
"Hello Internet, welcome to political theory!"
Lol
Andor made me really like the rebellion lately honestly
never seen it
Could get this too
You should, it is absolute cinema
and i only dislike the rebels for their look
i support their cause a shit ton more than i ever could the empire's
The rogue one ones looked great
Rest are meh
Aw hell naw
Sent from gattling gun size to pistol
yeah ofc the mk4 extracts x2 the blood of the mk3 so the massive size up makes sense
goes from extracting half the person's total blood to almost all of it
400ml short of it in fact lol
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
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 love this server
late but also ground-level preachers are fairly corrupt as well, but in different ways
like the local preacher is a deranged alcoholic in one DH module
Why lol
I been asking for a while I just can't pick I hate choice paralysis
Whether it's the local priest or the high clergy. They can all be corrupt.
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
Ye
Goge Vandire and crew are soooo waiting for great BL novels
So am I but that doesn’t mean I’m corrupt
I’m also corrupt but it’s unrelated
it does when you're supposed to be an upright moral leader
Can one successer chapter have multiple color schemes? And can they be from the same planet as the original chapter?
… fine but I can be a supine moral leader
Same planet no, multiple color schemes yeah, though would be rare aside from dark Angel successors
You people are being boring
Someone get in a fight to entertain me
Say something political
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
Though not all chapters use trim to show company Ect.
Ur gonna be bone and black in a minute
I call it the codex Astartes, it ryhmes with grug
Lol
i know its not rare for first companies or companies with a gimmick to have different schemes
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
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
What Sept is the white one?
@arctic talon I forget do you play tabletop?
Vior’la parade scheme is white
What the fuck does the stupid ' even signify in Tau names
Is it like a click
A gurgle
Is it a fart
It’s a separation in words
And there’s a blue color Sept too right?
Yeah
THAT'S A SPACE
No
A SPACE IS A SEPARATION IN WORDS
Every shitty sci fi/fantasy setting does a "hurr durr let's make a name look exotic" thing and adds the stupid '
there's a pronounciation rule for it
the word after the ' is always accented more heavily in Tau
tf you just made that up
would you say the main art/"canon" armor colors are the parade color?
Sa'cea
That is yeah
i mean i know t'au's climate is pretty orangeish
those are in lore the parade colors of the septs
But yeah the Ochre color did have practical use on their homeworld
- some environments
my tau style was t'au ftw
No it's bu'llshit u pu'lled o'ut of ur as's
Yeah these guys, I’ve never seen much of them
TECHNICALLY since their color is more defined by the markings, they're the orange sept 🤓
they didn't exist until the 6e codex is why
they're very new faction wise
and yeah you're correct lmao
LOL
Laati or Jay isn’t here now so tough luck
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

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
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
dw i mowed down his kroothounds with heavy stubbers
Yesss Astra Militarum 4ever
LOL
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
kroot are melee/cqb
I know but I mean meta wise
like they both have the basics of gunlines, tanks, melee specialists, but utilize them all completely differently
Like first I hear they're ass then I hear they're good
Kroot were ass
yah tabletop
for like
a long time
they're good now though
bcs they got buffs at the start of this edition
Well that's good b/c they're a nice addition .
Kroot were uber ass in 9e
I do like that Guard melee is weird shit
tau should get a Gunship update, because i actually think their tanks are really cool
It's ogres and horsies
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

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
them and custodes but they're technically not SEM
There's only the fucking
Calgar list rn
since they took guilliman out back and shattered his fucking kneecaps
lol
hell yeah
tbh
I do wonder if GW shifted to Vior'la as the poster child
because Forgeworld was doing Vior'la
primarily
if i ever played again, it probably would be as tau
and specifically investigating the validity of a firewarrior + gunship build
fish of fury is back?
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
Tbf they are fucked if they get charged
field battle of shotgunners for a ranged army
but S6 AP-2 with assault is nothing to scoff at lol
also the ability breach and clear lets them clear out objectives
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
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
yeah kinda obvious now that you mention it LOL
Tbh it straight up had the power armor statline lol
I do find it hilarious how XV-25 which replaced XV-15
is bigger
well you know basically all of tau tech advancement post-debut is them getting MORE impractical
well the thing in lore is actually better
its more quiet + protective + it can fucking fly now
"so we actually need to make giant units and guns to keep up with everyone now lol"
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
why is everybody in modern star wars british
a couple of brits is ok but andor is like 80% mud men brit accent
what is a mudmen
They filmed in the UK
mostly
disgusting slop dwellers
i feel like there's also a lot of brits in the sequel movies
why
Ask George
Does each navigator house have their own way of navigating or is it more just a person to person thing?
They all navigate the same way.
you literally just open your 3rd eye and guide the ship, its very "basic" for them lol
But why does the silly one in rogue trader need paint
Also
Can death watch marines use necron Gauss rifles?
Or are they beyond human comprehension?
"Hmm we shall carefully place our troops here."
Vs
"Fuck it let's just rush em"
Generally not without heavy modification.
And good luck trying to modify Necron Tech
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.
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.
I always forget no matter how skinny necrons look they are nightmarishly powerful
Also they don't want it to be misused or failing into some bad renegades.
So yeah generally the only Necron tech that is used somewhat consistently are their melee weapons.
Pre 9e 40K is much weaker than 30K.
They intentionally nerfed everything to avoid rebels.
Only necron melee weapon I know of is the big stupid swords the destroyers use
Hilariously big sword
Custodes should get some of that...
The barber when you tell ‘em “just a little bit off the top”
Make guts blush
Its really not that big
what, you want him to get a little pencil-blade
Also apparently "vibrates across dimensions".

I thought they were person sized swords
No I mean
also as with any weapon, shit kinda varies in size
The sword is the size of a person
But for the scale, it is normal.
Their weapons vary but yeah I say that's a good minimum.
Minimum
Man I love 40k it’s so silly
Temple assassins use necron sword as well.
Polearm.
Callidus specifically yes?
Just say polearms.
Yes, but others can use the stuff, too. Not on ttg though.
So who am I to say
The Necrons also got a War Scythe
Records of deeds on staff goes hard
Specifically used by high ranking mfs
Wait this is real lmao
I like to believe all the stuff they deal with in current 40k is not worth putting on the staff
Having a gun on it doesn't stop it being a glaive as it has a glaive shaped blade.
Compared to war in heaven
Nah I mean it’s called guardian spear
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."
I just realized that I never called it a spear...
Yah doesn’t really fit beside “killed chotec; killed itzl; killed tepoc”
; destroyed 12 stars
"Killed Eldar name"
"Killed C'tan"
That stuff always kinda makes me sad
Eldar were amazing warriors but they die like fodder a lot
Typical 40k.
Everyone does tbh
you are as strong as the plot allows

Even custodes die like fodder from time to time.

Yet somehow the Eldar keep a consistent population.
Plot.
It doesnt matter.
In fact, they are growing.
I feel like the average guard in eldar worlds should be untouchable to a marine
But they just get blasted
I think the Phoenix Lords are in-between Custodes and Primarchs
If I remember correctly
Simply weave around the bullets
Tbf the average Eldar Guard would be on par with SMs.
They're still there just to defend. They're not dedicated unlike some Eldar who are really into battle
Phoenix lords are primarch like. But they have to die to prove the power of someone else...
Now in comparison
Hell some of them might have not even followed any combat path
The random factory working feeling pride in his work and suddenly feeling weird...
💀
Slaanesh was really reaching for that one LMAO
I'm just imagining them being like
"Okay so I can revive with- no that wouldn't work..."
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
The factory worker is just Slaanesh saying "Fuck it".
If lucius just fell and dies, the planet would turn into Lucius as well....
I think everyone hating him is why slanesh keeps brining him back
She feeds on that kinda stuff lol
Lucius is like banning somebody only for them to make an alt account
Would it feel pride?
Well some people killed him without feeling anything, and chaos spaws him back anyway.
Ok now that’s not as cool
No, but plot.
If he cant spawn back, he just poofs into existence ala Slaanesh.
No idea why Slaanesh even bothered to make the rule up
because its funny i guess
Then again making up a role and not following it fits them
Raven Guard Marine killed him and thought he was some common mob and moved on.
HUE
Wait...
Lucius can't spawn on him, so he just spawn elsewhere...
Why do I feel wei-
Maybe the guy who made the RG marine weapons feels pride????
Speaking of primarchs so I got this right
All primarchs are somewhat warp related but that doesn’t mean they are pyskers right?
Basically the only thing you can do to kill Lucius is get one of those weapons that can obliterate a soul
Yeah.
The lion doing the weird shit he’s doing now his just a warp related power and not a pysker thing
Got it
think of them as Marvel/DC Supes and you are more or less done really
All of them do, with exception of Magnus.
Magnus is my fav
A daemon now as well
See: warzone fenris
When he gets up
Or anyone fighting magnus
he can literally turn you into a statue
Warzone fenris has him absolutely pop off
And then he gets beaten
Magnus fallen because people bullied him.
Is dorn a blank?
Nope...
No
Dorn suppresses the warp, but doesn't suck it away.
He just “knits” the warp together so to speak
I remembered hearing pysker stuff kinda washes over him
And doesn’t really bother him
He makes it harder for warp shit to happen
If you launch a fireball at him
It’s still a fucking fireball
Honestly it's in character that he just doesn't consider it
It’s just that making the fireball is barder
It isn’t
Its lazy writing.
because like-
he sometimes WANTS someone dead, badly
He’s gone fucking blow up fenris
he wouldnt toy around with them lol
Magnus is smart when he’s not being dumb
He should consider everything
also the perfect example is him vs Vulkan
he kills Vulkan like
over what
30 times?
LMAO
Yeah I know. Just coping and thinking that it's fitting for him to forget like an absolute dumbass
Because well
Do you think there was a timeline where Magnus didn’t fall to chaos?
Let's not talk about timeline.
Magnus managed do somehow do nothing wrong.
Literally. His task was literally just to do nothing and he failed miserably.
because we need 40k to happen
If we play the what if game, then nothing can be done.
Except for the occasional fanfic
No, Laati.
I mean I remember some fanfics that are essentially alt. Heresies. I remember one called the Dornian Heresy?
Y'all act like fanfic is just people kissing.
And you're wrong
It's only 70% of it

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
I always thought of a Heresy being lead by Perturabo, while extremely improbable, would be funny as shit
Because he is competent. The problem is that the man is a black hole in terms of Charisma

Guilliman is also 80% charisma.
I thought guilliman was bland and boring but he changed your mind with “FACTS AND LOGIC” instead of charisma
Nah the man is actually boring precisely because he had things like
"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
all primarchs have supernatural charisma
Well, the dude is the only normal intellect in the setting so far.
girlyman quite literally has caesar aura
True but anybody that can see through that knows that Pert uhh
Is an asshole
Honestly think his revival was actually an improvement on his character
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.
Just like me
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
It is a different Warhammer setting.
that's fantasy and this is 40k
There is 40K, which is space scifi fantasy.
Then there is Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy.
ok so 2 worlds are not related to each other right ?
Nope, other than some names, similarities and made by the same people.
Totally unrelated otherwise
ok thank you for clearing this up i was confused
dont they share chaos gods so shouldnt they be related?
Warhammer has three settings
40k
fantasy
and age of sigmar
40k is darktide
Fantasy is total war ?
yes
thats what confused me
and these setting are not related and not happening in the same world
they are minimally different universes. might be the same uh...reality? metareality?
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...
It used to be the old fantasy world yes but it's now basically its own
thing
something like different timeline or its just a different world
For 40k is completely separate from fantasy
age of sigmar is connected to fantasy
if they're completely separate why do they have the same chaos gods? and the warp?
For me, it's just 40k and AoS/Fantasy.
Because it's the result of the ending of age of sigmar of the realms forming together
im having a brain melt down
this make a solid question
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
It's like way so many settings have elf and orc...
so are there two khornes?
fantasy khorne and 40k khorne?
they have similarities here and like hallmarks of warhammer settings
Like the chaos Gods
but GW has stated they are not connected
ok so
40k world
AoS/Fantasy world
Both different worlds but have sorta the same lore correct ?
they have similarities
they don't have the same lore
like the chaos gods are largely the same
yeah i meant like the gods and races
A little bit...
but AoS/Fantasy dosnt have space marines right ?
no
Nope
and the titus dosnt exist there
no
Nope
ok makes more sense now
ty for clearing this up im trying to understand this world and lore
its amazing but can be confusing
so they just named the chaos gods exactly the same thing...but they're not related...
that is tragic
You can find some similar entities, but story wise very different.
It's just things GW decided to make hallmark of a warhammer setting
Why elf is still elf and orc is still orc in so many fantasy and fiction stories???
this reminds me, who where peter turbo's abopted parents? i have never heard of his pre emperor upbringing
A shitty warlord, but perty is too much of a loser that even when he got stronger and seeking vengeance... He still couldn't do it.
they were related all the way back in like 1e and very early 2e for 40k
it's a bit different when they're not only names of individuals but also when they're the names of god-like creatures that transcend time and space (namely, they transcend the confines of fantasy and 40k in the first place).
if GW has made it that they're not related then, well, i guess that's how it is for now. but it doesnt really add up too well
Random fun fact
So Taskmaster (Marvel) actually has two interesting rules
- 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.
- He doesn't go after Moon Knight
The reason why #2 is a thing is because uhh
and deadpool
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
he also does not like fighting again deadpool
Deadpool is psychologically insane and therefore pulls out the most random of things
If I remember correctly, it's because he can't predict him due to Deadpool being literally insane
Yeah like I said he is psychologically insane and he will pull out the most random of things
so 9/11 happens in the marvel universe?
It literally did.
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.
makes sense
like how many times did he blow up the fantastic 4 tower?
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.
bit hypocritical of him there ngl
Taskmaster's weakness is basically people who are fucking insane lmao
Can't know the enemy's move if they don't know either

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
Can't negate somebody insane enough to crash a plane towards you just to kill you
yup
ngl, me and my friends building our base right next to a field of drumsand was most likely a bad idea
it's pretty funny ngl
Yeah this page makes me confused in terms of feelings
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
if it were someone else it could work
I literally have no idea how to feel
It could've been somebody like Shocker
Or The Rhino
Not fucking Dr. Doom
some one less turbo bad guy
Hell Magneto would've kinda worked
Doom would absolutely be saying that Reed did it
lol
so that the baxter building is the tallest
or reed let it happen

real
AM I WRONG
I'm just imagining Dr. Doom sobbing heavily
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
"IT WAS REED RICHARDS! HE CAUSED THIS TRAGEDDYYYYY"
but this ones just like a normal ass black pistol
like it doesn't shoot normal bullets
but still lol
"Stretch through this"
bang
never forget the bat pistol
literally just a fucking luger
no the bat pistol
its just a luger
Somewhat related but not really. I always found it interesting howl ike
Very early Batman just fucking murdered his foes
pulling out the blicky
nah iirc it fired sleep darts
heroes never killing was kinda the cornerstone of DC comics
Honestly, I had the idea of a Batman that started to murder people, but slowly began to stop until he got the "No Kill Rule"
"Jarvis, remind doctor doom what Johnny blaze did to his wife"
The edits about to go crazy.
QRT: PlayStation
Assemble a team of legendary heroes and villains in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls.First details on the 4v4 tag team fighter, launching 2026 on PS5 and PC: http://play.st/3T6mqk6 https://t.co/sQo6eXf4QR
He murdered people until 1940-1941 when the no kill room was established then
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
yeah
So honestly I've always thought of a Batman that develops the No Kill Rule later in his career to be an interesting concept
anyways 4v4 tag fighter means its going to be degenerate as fuck lol
"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
i do love the fact they went with Roberto Reyes the ghost rider that rides the famed hell charger
He also did kill in some WW2 based comics. But all of them were Nazis so it doesn't count
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.

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
yeah part of the whole "moral degeneracy" stuff back in the 50s iirc
lot of laws and what not looking to push "unsavory" things out of media
Imagine MVC players moving in to talk on and fighting a Hulk and hearing the words
GAMMA WAVE
Yeah and then the campy silver age took hold.
Can't help but like those type of shit regardless though
Clearly not meant to be taken seriously
Hulk is a function not a character/hj
the same way magneto and doom are a function as well/j
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
i'm interested how hulk will function really
Grappler of some sorts
probably will have an advancing move that can kara into a command grab
tbh
Could also be surprisingly mobile big body
Either that or he becomes similar to Broly in the DB games
OP as fuccck
fair
they cannot help themselves
broly is Taeger on meth
he has a solid chunk of taegers normals
lol
except they're faster
and better

mid teir btw
taeger
DBFZ is so fucked up lol
Who is that one
