40k-lore-chat

[arctic talon]

They literally do not tone down the imperium but okay

They haven't done it any more then they used to

with mid 2000's bolter porn

your idea is fundamentally flawed

the depiction of the imperium in novels has barely changed since I started the hobby

lol

[storm jungle]

Its media disonance to some extent.

[arctic talon]

obviously

[storm jungle]

They show atrocities in novels but no one cares about it

[arctic talon]

but its not an issue new to warhammer

[storm jungle]

its all uh

OMG

SPACE MARINE HELPED CITIZEN

Said citizen is gonna go die in some ditch offscreen

[arctic talon]

The omega kill death team murdered 10,000 people because they have the wrong dna

[raven stone]

And yea maybe calm down a little :/
like I am not saying GW or IoM in setting are saints either.

[arctic talon]

I am calm

[storm jungle]

Its not that

[arctic talon]

I just think if you're going to make a point

[storm jungle]

its just GW being cowards

[arctic talon]

it should be an actual fucking point

[storm jungle]

Die

[arctic talon]

and not something GW has always bitched out

of doing

[arctic talon]

its literally true

[storm jungle]

no

Anyway yeah they dont show this on surface material because their main target audience is kids/adults

[arctic talon]

this isn't a point because GW has always written the fucking imperum like this

[storm jungle]

I mean

kinda

[arctic talon]

in novels? Yeah?

[storm jungle]

they very much still sell them as "heroes fighting evil forces" too

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

what about outside of novels

you korean fuck

[arctic talon]

Then no

[storm jungle]

I MEAN

[arctic talon]

Wrong race dipshit smh

at least get it right

[storm jungle]

You'd know all about it

[arctic talon]

IN rulebooks then yeah

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

then its been the same

since like

fucking 6e

[storm jungle]

Im gonna shove those rulebooks

right up your-

[arctic talon]

the imperium does atrocities in rulebook

Hello Eternal

[storm jungle]

no

[arctic talon]

lol

jokes aside GW's depiction of the imperium hasn't changed at all

compared to how its used to be

having read old ass rulebooks

[storm jungle]

its disonance yeah

theres a reason like

people legit got mad at the Tithes episodes

"why is this ultramarine such a dick*"

"why did they leave these guardsmen without ammo"

lol lmao

its actually depressing 💀

[arctic talon]

Okay the tithe stuff was all based

lol

that was some of the best imperial depiction in like

any sort of GW's mass media

[storm jungle]

I legit respect the balls of the writers

[arctic talon]

also pariah nexus's ending

10/10

"yeah kill the kid lol"

[queen laurel]

Dilara moment right there

[arctic talon]

actually

very few novels except for Chaos ones like showing their faction doing atrocities

lol

the more I think about the novels I've read

[sour hornet]

Space marines deadass have god-tier PR that shit is insane.

Death Spectres walking around with no complaint from anyone.

[arctic talon]

In universe the PR is the religion

And the fact no one really interacts with them

Lol

“I’m actually an Angel so I can just kill you”

-random marine

[sour hornet]

How would someone react to a gore-covered 8ft tall gleaming metal god-man?

[arctic talon]

Unironically probably shoot at them

If there’s csm

If not then probably horror to an extent

Because these are the so called “angels” imperial scripture preaches about

[queen laurel]

is they're a religious nut case probably in a state of enlightenment

[arctic talon]

As always it depends yeah

Some people in the imperium are absolute fucking psychos lol

[queen laurel]

house cawdor moment

[arctic talon]

The dude in munda wearing a custodes boot as a hat

Or like shin armor

[outer wave]

How does a human get access to a custodes boot?

[arctic talon]

Good question, we don’t know

But he’s wearing it as a hat

[vocal dagger]

Probably a lot of black market things

[arctic talon]

And is absolutely batshit insane even by imperial prophet standards

[arctic talon]

He’s been living in a ruined hive for 100 years

According to him

And he did emerge from a ruined hive

So…..

[vocal dagger]

Maybe somehow he nicked it from a noble residence that somehow got the leg piece

[arctic talon]

He’s also a Psyker

Probably

Because he made a bunch of enforcers kneel before him and kiss the ground

The only enforcer who wasn’t effected was a blank

[celest dome]

Faith Magic sons

[arctic talon]

Anyways he’s a batshit insane imperial prophet who’s maybe a Psyker

[arctic talon]

Good point

Anyways he’s a redemptionist

[vocal dagger]

Sisters of silence along with a angry custodian with a missing leg piece:

[arctic talon]

But not that sort of redemptionist

The necromunda type of redemptionist

But even more insane

[vocal dagger]

Good old necromunda, if the cult and moebians tried to siege necromunda they wouldn’t even get past the first habblock

[arctic talon]

Mfw the ganger has a fucking plasma cannon

[celest dome]

I mean, there are like 2 Hives that have already escaped Helmawr's control

[arctic talon]

also yeah that

Helmwar is

Losing control

now granted this isn't chaos related

probably

its just the imperium being the imperium

[celest dome]

1 destroyed due to GSC infestation, 1 is under the control of a "Democratic" council

Isn't there one that was lost to Orks ?

[arctic talon]

that one is a bombed out wreck thats sealed off

so maybe

The GSC infestation one also is a bombed out hive

The democratic one is functional

for now

[celest dome]

There is one that's taken over by Corpse Grinder Gangs, somehow

[arctic talon]

was it the entire hive?

I thought it was just a large chunk of it

[vagrant fox]

https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/pizrvl/that_time_the_flesh_tearers_killed_300000000000/

Flesh Tearers are very loyal and very funny

[celest dome]

Lexi says everything, which I find strange

[arctic talon]

That

Feels wrong based on what I read in the rulebook

But I’ll believe lexicanum

[rocky gale]

[queen laurel]

you gonna play female authoritarian?

[rocky gale]

Probably, but I'll need to listen and compare them all first

[queen laurel]

Female authoritarian is the lae'zel one you were interested about

[languid meadow]

Still thinking on what grendies time limit is

[rocky gale]

Ye, but got to give them all a fair chance

[queen laurel]

that is true

[languid meadow]

Fatalist is the only voice I've seen very little about

[outer wave]

^

[queen laurel]

i'm gonna go male authoritarian

[languid meadow]

All the playtesters chose maul and auth

[outer wave]

Its been mostly Authoritarian or Maul

Yeah

Im probably gonna go Fatalist

Not sure if man or woman

[languid meadow]

Trying to remember which voice the VA of kayex does

It's auth or fatalist

[celest dome]

But she doesn't sound like lae'zel, closest comparision that Dilara had was Nadja from wwdits

[languid meadow]

From the snippets I've heard wilde has done really well

[queen laurel]

Some traces of her can be heard

[plush mason]

https://tenor.com/view/perfection-perfect-michael-fassbender-magneto-x-men-first-class-gif-2260686001358167676

[queen laurel]

jesus

Yeah these guys are absolute nut cases I love it

[plush mason]

3 more days

[rocky gale]

Wouldn't surprise me if she was doing a Bulgarian accent

[arctic talon]

Maybe its before he feels the situation is lost and decides to just blow the planet up

[storm jungle]

well yeah because she isnt Laezel

its a different character

its like how Morrow and Wolfer sound different while being the same VA

[arctic talon]

Voice actors have this crazy thing called range

I'm picking Maul or Fatalist

I'm not sure

[storm jungle]

Fatalist seems like the most "complex" one emotion wise

but also Maul and Auth are funny as fuck because nazi-cops

hard choice

lmao

[queen laurel]

to be fair i think he's like cut throat the absolutely maniacally insane ones being surprisingly emotionally deep

the same as bully

He might be all loud and all screaming as he how tough he is but he's surprisingly nice

[arctic talon]

Maul is all in on the power tripping psychopathic facist cop

which is why I want it over authoritarian

gotta go all the way with that sort of personality LOL

[queen laurel]

fatalist it's definitely a good option for someone who doesn't want to go balls deep into the whole fascism cop

But I already picked the odd gay voices of the group anyway so I'm going authoritarian

[storm jungle]

THE CULTIST DROPPED AN ACORN ON THE CHIMERA TRANSPORT

FUCKING KILL HIM NOW FOR THE LEEEEEX

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥 🔥 🔥

[queen laurel]

here's 5 shotgun blast

[arctic talon]

WE'RE UNDER FIRE

[languid meadow]

HE'S REACHING FOR HIS DATASLATE

[arctic talon]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/209843216227368962/1382413832797950082/tfke3x8f1c6f1.jpeg?ex=68564575&is=6854f3f5&hm=6c81bc13b702789d5d233dc0abea39b4b81fc73e71bcc01fb6acfc8397efb4e0&format=webp&

[queen laurel]

HE LOOKS DIFFERENT

SHOOT HIM

[arctic talon]

@storm jungle can you talk about the personalities or no? bcs I have a genuine question about authoritarian vs maul

[storm jungle]

3 more days

[arctic talon]

Fuck

[queen laurel]

Wait can't you already leak info because of the NDA expiring on the 20th?

[storm jungle]

[queen laurel]

oh i see laziness?

fair

[winter vessel]

I want to crush my friend’s love of the Eldar but I threw the “Galaxy wide birthing of a chaos god” at him and he still thinks they’re not on the same level of worse like other factions.

[languid meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/5I3zt-VO8uY?si=8-6czzfkKojxMtXd maul kind of freaky....

[plush mason]

that cant be an actual line

right?

[arctic talon]

Which flavor of Elf

if its Drukhari

If its craftworld then they're not responsible for that whole incident

but you can bring up how they pretty much commit mass genocide

to save 1 eldar regularly

or place the dominos on the path

to mass genocide

Its not like CWE do not see humans as sentient and sapient beings either

lol

[languid meadow]

Prof and maul

[arctic talon]

Humans are considered "alive" so to speak

[winged jacinth]

Tfw you do the worst thing of all time and your population splits into two camps, the ones who don't do anything and the ones who arent sorry and double down

[arctic talon]

lol

[winter vessel]

He’s a Ynnari fan boy

[arctic talon]

They are a literal death cult

[plush mason]

yeah isnt there whole mission to kill all the remaining eldar to empower a death god to kill Slannesh?

[arctic talon]

the ynnari are an actual fucking death cult

they have 2 win conditions

the total extinction of all Eldar

[storm jungle]

They really arent.

[arctic talon]

or gathering all the Crone swords

[storm jungle]

they are very much evil but like, comparing them to the likes of chaos or the Imperium is a bit lol

[arctic talon]

CWE get grouped as more evil then Tau

or

about as evil

tbh

except Beil'tan

lol

Beil'tan is actually evil(based)

[winter vessel]

I could bring up that whole swords thing that they need and Slaany’s keeping one of em.

[winged jacinth]

The only good eldar maybe are the harlequins and that's probably because they're too mysterious for us to know the whatever terrible flaws their plan has

[arctic talon]

well

[storm jungle]

Harlequins are like

[plush mason]

maybe Fulgrim has it, they might be able to steal it from him

[storm jungle]

hilariously evil

I love them

[arctic talon]

the ynnari in universe think Shalaxi were lying

[languid meadow]

GW on their way to make it so the prophecy is "then enned kills slaanesh lol" so it never comes to pass

[arctic talon]

also yeah the Quinns are like

another batshit insane cult

lol

they just serve the clown god

[winged jacinth]

Yeah but they worship a funny guy

[storm jungle]

I mean yes

good defense

Cegorach is funny

[arctic talon]

The CWE are def less evil then the Imperium lol

[storm jungle]

100%

[arctic talon]

thats not really an argument(imo)

[storm jungle]

Also like

[arctic talon]

Unless its beil'tan

then they're like

slightly less evil

[plush mason]

funny clown god with a craftworld full of all the secrets to ever exist

[winter vessel]

Harlequins just love being mysterious. You ask em “ are you a rp**?” And they just respond with “heh stays silent”

[storm jungle]

most craftworld fighters literally need a psychic mask to protect them from the trauma of killing living thinking beings like humans sometimes.

The Imperium meanwhile are literally just WW2 germany lol

[winged jacinth]

Its possible the eldar would do stuff and work with humanity if humanity weren't the imperium i think

[median star]

whos the mussolini of 40k

[arctic talon]

Yeah probably

maybe

[plush mason]

and USSR

[winter vessel]

Anyways, my friend is just not cracking. I’ll keep throwing whatever Ynnari F ups I kind find

[storm jungle]

EVERYONE.

[plush mason]

"we have more bodies than they have bullets"

[storm jungle]

Ironically based of him

[arctic talon]

"My faction right or wrong"

And by god

do I love the wrong

[storm jungle]

lmfao

[arctic talon]

[median star]

i think an apt comparison would be the mfr that made the sisters of battle

[storm jungle]

Nah

[arctic talon]

Anyways Eldrad was based

for making Ghazkull

[storm jungle]

Mussolini is like chowder compared to him lol

[arctic talon]

Notice how Ghazkull has literally never been an issue

[storm jungle]

Vandire is more like a Hitler Pope

[arctic talon]

for the Craftworld Eldar

[winter vessel]

This one?

[arctic talon]

and has been an issue for the Drukhari, Imperium and Tau

yet another Eldrad W

[languid meadow]

Biel tan and tallarn trying to introduce each other to their respective races

[arctic talon]

(ignore his L's)

I will take nothing wrong

[plush mason]

where did you find this image?

[arctic talon]

Eldrad has never done anything wrong, except for hat time he did

and the other time he did

and that time he got like millions killed

and that time he killed trillions

just ignore that

[winged jacinth]

Tfw you see the future but need glasses

[winter vessel]

It’s a thumbnail for a YouTube video titled “Chowder but he ate the context” got taken down though. I WONDER WHY

[arctic talon]

thats all future sight in 40k tbh

[plush mason]

that show was cursed even with context

[winged jacinth]

Yeah i mean not even tzeentch can actually predict the future

[winter vessel]

I miss those days of watching that cat bear purple rabbit thing on weekends

[winged jacinth]

40k is a nondeterministic reality in practice

[storm jungle]

Its the ultimate kryptonite of telepaths and psychics in fiction.

if they succeed theres no story

lol

[arctic talon]

Idk, Eldrad succeed with Ghazkull

[storm jungle]

In reality an eldar farseer could just mind control an imperial commander to kill himself kilometers away

but he just doesnt

because thats boring

[plush mason]

tfw you have future sight but the settings uses the rule of all possible futures being real until actions and choices in the now remove them

[storm jungle]

Meanwhile Ahriman just teleports entire worlds because human character

[languid meadow]

Doesn't Kairos have a book? I swear I remember a quote from him retelling his experience in the well of eternity

[arctic talon]

thats because Ahriman is a mary sue

/hj

[storm jungle]

Yeah because human moment.

I loved when like-

I had af riend in a tsons server ask:

[arctic talon]

Brooks new book is gona have mary sue CWE

[storm jungle]

"how powerful is ahriman"

[arctic talon]

Its time

[storm jungle]

and like-

[winged jacinth]

You can cheat in a big world like 40k by having stuff work away from stories but i guess they do

[storm jungle]

20 people went

[arctic talon]

Dilara

[storm jungle]

"As powerful as the writer allows him, dont think about it"

[arctic talon]

We will have comically broken Eldar psykers

also yeah Ahriman is as strong as the writer makes him

which is to say

French has 0 fucking self control

LOL

[storm jungle]

Yeah see, thats you being a smart person. Most 40k authors dont put this into account lol

[arctic talon]

He also likes making Ahriman suffer

but he also has 0 self control

when it comes to wanking Ahriman

so whatever

Ahrimans books are actually good

Now give me an Eldrad book

Not by Gav thrope

[storm jungle]

xenos character

book

[arctic talon]

No more Gavs

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

no more Thropes

[winter vessel]

That’s a pipe dream

[arctic talon]

Look

we just got some

[winter vessel]

Gav Throat

[arctic talon]

let me have my fucking cope

My copium levels

have been higher then ever

for CWE books

especially since we're getting a Corsair one

[winged jacinth]

The other way to tell a good story with accurate precognition is to ragnarok it

[languid meadow]

Speaking of ahriman my fav moment is when he watched two of his Marines get cured of the rubric just to get killed instantly after

Poor guy lmao

[winter vessel]

Break the intended prophetic fate?

[astral burrow]

Sigh

Mere hours left

[winged jacinth]

Or fail to yeah

[winter vessel]

I do kinda enjoy stories like that

[winged jacinth]

What people forget about ragnarok is that it happens

[storm jungle]

Remember, magic/telepaths are as smart and good as the writers writing them.

[arctic talon]

Is this why Eldrad is always smart

/j

[languid meadow]

Thorpe is actually just the best writer

You just can't understand him

[winged jacinth]

Odin does not prevent his death or any other event despite all his efforts, and often causes them in the process

[storm jungle]

hes writing for trench crusade i think

[arctic talon]

is he actually?

[storm jungle]

I THINK so

[arctic talon]

Okay well

Not for iron sultanate please

I do not want the torment nexus

for a faction I enjoy

again

[winter vessel]

I just read your profile description and it reminded me of this.

[arctic talon]

jokes aside Gav should literally just be kept on world building duty

his novels are

well they're better then Kymes

[languid meadow]

So dry

[winter vessel]

How bad is Kymes work

[languid meadow]

I would like another salamander Novel not written by kyme

[arctic talon]

Dryer then the sahara, all stereotypes

[astral burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/calibrate-your-enthusiasm-andor-enthusiasm-calibrate-star-wars-gif-9059239875443228108

[winter vessel]

Ah hell those types

[astral burrow]

Comedy gold of a profile tho

[winter vessel]

Kudos to you

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-andor-krennic-gif-257389219806397945

[arctic talon]

Oh also he made the salamanders canonically racist

which is like

the one good thing from his salamander books

not because I think its hilarious

but because its actually good writing about racism

Gj Kyme

[glossy sonnet]

im tired of poorly written racism

[astral burrow]

What about well written racism

[languid meadow]

Yes like dwarves

[opaque coyote]

Related

[astral burrow]

I am tired of racism

And speciesism

[winter vessel]

That’s what I like too. I mean, I love the Salmanders because of their compassion to the People. But, it’s humanity. They’re still just as terrible with Xenos regardless. A flawless faction is a mediocre faction

[astral burrow]

I like elves

Some of them

[opaque coyote]

The fucking hat falling off of Dutch's now missing head is great

[winter vessel]

I love this artwork of the NL that I just discovered. Dude at the bottom is wearing it like a face mask, lmao

“Sorry, it’s allergy season” rips off skin

[astral burrow]

Is that skin

Bruh

[storm jungle]

The fuck is that suppose to mean

you expect them to not be psychopaths?

[winter vessel]

peel off your skin-Mcqueen’s voice

[queen laurel]

You never learned about night Lords when you moved on to Star Wars didn't you?

[winter vessel]

I’ll never forget that one episode of Ad Ridiculous where Bricky is emphasizing how edgy the Carcharodons are. I’m like, “listen forehead, your favorite space marines are the Night Lords, they don’t have exemption.”

[astral burrow]

I honestly havent been learning anything but math and science shit

Can't afford to game or nerd out rn

Next week I am gonna be so lazy

[queen laurel]

well all you need to know is

night lords are

[opaque coyote]

"ugh I feel sick"

Rips somebody's skin off

"There we go, a nice mask."

[astral burrow]

I am gonna binge clone wars, read star wars novels and comics, play swtor

[queen laurel]

absolutely entirely revolving around terror tactics and therefore horrifying

[astral burrow]

Then get the exam results and be devastated

[queen laurel]

they will skin you torture you you name

it

[astral burrow]

Skin

[storm jungle]

Clone Wars will fix it

ill see you in hell tomorrow

[opaque coyote]

...so watching the Star Wars Sequel films

[winter vessel]

I bet they even host their own version of fashion Runway with their Skin clothing types

[opaque coyote]

[winter vessel]

Chanel boots made from the flesh of an imperial noble

[astral burrow]

Man, I wanna scroll some YouTube and watch videos
My home page: "IF THIS MATH QUESTION SHOWS UP IN THE EXAM YOU WILL EXPLODE"

[languid meadow]

Actual reading or watching anything to do with the sequel era

[astral burrow]

LEAVE ME ALONE I WANNA REST

[languid meadow]

Both legends and canon

[astral burrow]

Reading is great

There is some good stuff

Cuz half the movies is in the books

Got the phasma novel sitting on my shelf

Can't wait to read what my chrome queen has been up to

[winter vessel]

I can’t recall the first book I read. But the 2nd one I read was by Karen Traviss’ Republic commando: Order 66

[astral burrow]

I wanna read alphabet squadron

Aftermath

High republic comics cuz there is a cute nautolan woman there

And subscribe to swtor, play it all day

Play battlefront with my bestie

So much I wanna do this summer

Learn Japanese too

Just gotta make it through 2 hellish exams

[opaque coyote]

I mean

The Darth Vader comics are peak

[languid meadow]

Vader comics are not sequel stuff

[winter vessel]

I had a hard time sleeping one night after reading this one. These panels are forever burned into my memories

[languid meadow]

My point is that both legends and canon fumbled the post original trilogy era

Both have some good stuff

But like

Most of it is meh or bad

[plush mason]

ok "listen forehead" hit me way too hard lmao

[opaque coyote]

love how out of context it's just vader being like

"yeah"

"mhm"

[winter vessel]

This is like that meme of time traveling of warning your past self. But in this case it’s just already set in stone and there ain’t nothing to change

[plush mason]

ngl that looks like the imperial agent's ship from SWTOR

[astral burrow]

It is the naboo yacht

Fun fact, phasma made her armor out of the pieces of a scrap naboo yacht

[storm jungle]

shame it did fuckall

[astral burrow]

It deflected like every single blaster projectile she got hit with

Shit was tuff

[storm jungle]

then uh

why did Finn and Co taking her hostage and threatening her with a blaster matter

where she fucked over the entirety of starkiller base

[astral burrow]

Cuz she doesn't care about the first order

[sly ivy]

God damn it not fucking star trek again

[astral burrow]

She is like the least loyal first order member ever

She doesn't give a damn

If it helps her survive, she would do anything

[storm jungle]

?????

Oh my god did this shit get added like

years after the movie to explain her dumbass behavior

lmao

fucking star wars man

[astral burrow]

There is an entire comic

Where she gets out of the trash compactor

Deletes her records

Finds the guy who last interacted with the shields

[storm jungle]

Lmao and when did this comic come out

[astral burrow]

Chases him to a backwater planet with a tie pilot she kidnapped

Gaslights the entire population to fight a giant beast

Kills the guy and the pilot

[storm jungle]

Yeah so its just post-movie excuses

[astral burrow]

Then goes back like nothing happened

[storm jungle]

which,

you know

[astral burrow]

Star wars had comic bullshit since the first movie

[storm jungle]

is fucking weak, and stupid writing

[astral burrow]

It is nothing new

[storm jungle]

I dont care

its dumb as fuck

lol

[astral burrow]

Phasma fucking off to a backwater to kill one guy has nothing to do with the story

It is the exact kinda thing you would put in a side comic

[storm jungle]

Then why are you saying it

[languid meadow]

The first phasma comics came out before the movie

[storm jungle]

Okay?

[astral burrow]

Cuz I love phasma

[storm jungle]

She still fucked over starkiller base

[sly ivy]

Lmao Dilara wrapping this up neatly w unalloyed truth 🫡

[storm jungle]

Lmao i try

because like

[astral burrow]

Before last Jedi u mean?

[storm jungle]

its legit such an awful scene

[astral burrow]

Phasma showed up in TFA

[storm jungle]

imagine threatening the supreme commander of the stormtroopers

at blaster point

and shes like

"ok dont kill me ill lower the shields to our supersweapon"

[languid meadow]

For some reason I thought TFA came out in 17

[winter vessel]

“You were always scum” Finn: “Rebel scum”. KK: “phenomenal writing”

[storm jungle]

Thanks for reminding me of this line

i got hit with psychic damage

🙏

[languid meadow]

Why are you blaming Kennedy lmao she doesn't write this shit

[astral burrow]

Chewbacca was there right?

I am pretty sure a fucking wookiee with a bowcaster would damage her armor, I would fold too

[storm jungle]

oh my god

[astral burrow]

Chewie can turn her into a can

[storm jungle]

stop defending that stupid ass scene

[astral burrow]

It is not stupid, it is literally who phasma is

[winter vessel]

She isn’t. Just a glorified coffee jockey who was in Charge of SW for a while.

[storm jungle]

it is stupid

[astral burrow]

She is a piece of shit that will take the easiest route possible in every scenario

[storm jungle]

Okay still weak writing

also like-

[astral burrow]

She is an absolutely despicable character

[storm jungle]

we arent told this shit in the movie

or ever shown it

so your point deflates even more

[astral burrow]

Cuz she isn't important to the movie!

[storm jungle]

Okay and?

that doesnt excuse anything

lmao

[astral burrow]

There is only so much they can show in 2 hours

[storm jungle]

Yeah like uhhh

bad jokes

and sideplots that go nowhere

[astral burrow]

And they surely won't spend that on a glup shitto

[storm jungle]

you say this

[astral burrow]

What sideplot did TFA have

[storm jungle]

yet theres an entire scene dedicated to glup shittos

lol

[astral burrow]

That didn't go anywhere

[astral burrow]

Which one?

[storm jungle]

The entire movie

[winter vessel]

Like Luke drinking alien milk straight from the source

[storm jungle]

diet mos eisley

[astral burrow]

That was crucial, okay?

He drank milk in the original trilogy!

[storm jungle]

It gave us this emote

[astral burrow]

It is like poetry! It milks!

[storm jungle]

Im gonna milk you if you keep this up

If I see another "it is like poetry it rhymes" I will crash out

[astral burrow]

I just love phasma, man

[languid meadow]

Huh???

Leave my chrome queen alone

Weak.

[languid meadow]

Great actress

Sucks she was wasted

[astral burrow]

SHE IS A 6'7 WOMAN IN A FULL SUIT OF ARMOR AND A CHROME BLASTER WITH A CAPE

SHE IS HOT AS FUCK

I don't care if she is a glup shitto

[storm jungle]

Brienne of Tarth > Cuntsma

[astral burrow]

I am level 30 with her and I never used her in pvp

[storm jungle]

[astral burrow]

I love how tall Gwendolyn Christie is

[sly ivy]

If ever there was a character made only to be an action figure

[astral burrow]

Especially next to Oscar Isaac

Man is tiny next to her

[sly ivy]

It’s shiny Star Wars evil lady

[astral burrow]

Like boba fett?

And grogu?

And Babu frik?

[arctic talon]

glup shitto

[sly ivy]

Yes ret@rded characters all

[astral burrow]

Explode

How is boba bad

[languid meadow]

Lil bro is getting heated now

[winter vessel]

No hold back Kag, respect

[astral burrow]

Knights of Ren were the real glup shittos

The gluppest to ever shitto

[sly ivy]

What the shit is a booba frick

[storm jungle]

Also

[winter vessel]

Knights of Ren = Akatsuki according to my sister

[astral burrow]

The mf who reset c3po

So they could get the sith language

https://tenor.com/view/babu-frik-hehey-hey-hi-gif-15987423

[languid meadow]

That's my fav glup shitto

[storm jungle]

reading Gwendoline Christie's wiki page

[astral burrow]

Before grogu, there was Babu frik

[languid meadow]

Love that stupid little bastard

[sly ivy]

I couldn’t bring myself to watch that movie

[astral burrow]

Yeah, it did

[storm jungle]

You'd know

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-big-woman-brienne-of-tarth-brienne-tormund-gif-24224578

[astral burrow]

Yeah I read her entire wiki

Keep reading

It gets worse

It is really sad

[sly ivy]

Boba fett is a fine character in his role in empire and jedi and im sure the action figure was cool

[astral burrow]

I am glad people appreciate her now, that height is awesome

[sly ivy]

He should have remained in those movies and that trippy cartoon from the Christmas one

[storm jungle]

People always tend to make fun of people for in reality awesome traits

[sly ivy]

Just a random one off

[arctic talon]

people will make fun of people regardless

[astral burrow]

It sucks cuz Gwendolyn Christie really loved phasma cuz she is a villain with absolutely no redeeming qualities, and you can hardly even tell she is a woman, a villain that never even shows her face or uses the fact that she is a woman for anything

If I got it right

Phasma deserved better

[storm jungle]

tbh

[sly ivy]

That’s not true most people don’t get made fun of elitewolf

[storm jungle]

literally like

[sly ivy]

If you ever have been

[storm jungle]

every single actor/actress was dissapointed with the new trilogy lol

[astral burrow]

Like for loving phasma

[storm jungle]

Finn's actor Boyega especially

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

mfer legit said "my character went fucking nowhere"

[arctic talon]

what a surprise

[astral burrow]

God, boyega cooked the movie

[sly ivy]

It is because there is something deeply irreparably wrong w u

[humble shoal]

Not as dissapointed as everyone involved with batman and robin

[storm jungle]

hey

[sly ivy]

And u should feel bad

[storm jungle]

that movie is at least fun

[winter vessel]

I wanted Finn to be the Jedi, dammit

[storm jungle]

also Schumacher legit apologized to people

hes a cool guy

[arctic talon]

too ba

*bad

[humble shoal]

Exactly, everyone was dissapointed

[arctic talon]

genuinely why the fuck didn't they just follow the plan

they had after TFA

[astral burrow]

Hey, could have been worse

[humble shoal]

With the new trilogies some of the directors still thought they did good

[arctic talon]

they had a basic fucking outline

apparently

[astral burrow]

Phasma could have ended up like Ross

Rose

I don't think a single person likes rose

[arctic talon]

anyways the new films are very pretty

[storm jungle]

it was a movie disguised as a toy commercial, I got a weak spot for the movie because i watched it when i was a small gal lol

[sly ivy]

Ok this dude is kind of unhinged tho

[arctic talon]

I've literally never watched any but the first

though

lol

[storm jungle]

hollywood so

[winter vessel]

Anything to Expand on that? Kinda forgotten the initial idea

[astral burrow]

Except whoever casted her actress cuz she reminds her of her high school crush

[arctic talon]

Hollywood actor

[humble shoal]

Its still the only one I watched

[sly ivy]

He needs to keep his fee fees a little more to himself it comes off weird

He’s constantly bitching

[humble shoal]

Out of the 3

[astral burrow]

https://youtu.be/Sd9DvIs97G0

[arctic talon]

JJ Abrams had a plan where Kylo was going to be the final villain and also evil and shit

[astral burrow]

I love this video

[arctic talon]

along with uh

[astral burrow]

But I fucking hate that music

It is so cringe now

Please just the clips, man

[arctic talon]

Finn becoming a Jedi as well but w/e

lol

[storm jungle]

Weak.

[arctic talon]

thats all I can remember

[winter vessel]

Aw man

[arctic talon]

from JJ's original plan

oh also uh

[humble shoal]

Never watched the first 2

[arctic talon]

I forgot actually

nvm

[sly ivy]

Since when has JJ planned the end of anything

[arctic talon]

anyways he had an outline

[astral burrow]

1:35 is peak

[humble shoal]

I drop the Mr. Freeze lines daily

[arctic talon]

well

he didn't plan the ending exactly

he just had a very basic outline

which they probably should have followed

lol

[humble shoal]

Bullshit

JJ always says that

[astral burrow]

They are so bound by contract they can't say anything bad lmao

[humble shoal]

He cappin hard

[astral burrow]

It is like they are being held hostage

[arctic talon]

tbf, it actually does seem like he had a shitty outline this time

[sly ivy]

Bro probably gets distracted and goes wandering off in the middle of taking a shower

[humble shoal]

"The mystery box definitely has a good story planned"

[sly ivy]

History is not gonna be kind to Jj or his movies/shows

[humble shoal]

Lost

[opaque coyote]

Honestly a smarter writer would've probably had her move to "disable" only to tackle Finn

[sly ivy]

Soulless

[opaque coyote]

Steal his lightsaber or gun or whatever

[storm jungle]

Arent like

almost all his movies forgotten

[languid meadow]

All but one of the Cloverfield movies are great

[sly ivy]

I appreciate that he is like an early Spielberg fanboy but it’s so derivative

Also Spielberg always nails the denouement and ending

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Because they’re mid

[winter vessel]

Clover field was okay

[sly ivy]

And… the humanity

[winter vessel]

Memorable at least

[sly ivy]

Spielberg grew up in like a normal household I think jj is too much of a rich kid or something

[opaque coyote]

Cloverfield was from multiple directors and it's hard to know who even made most of the plot lmao

[sly ivy]

He just can’t do normal people being normal

[opaque coyote]

I like Cloverfield 1 though

[astral burrow]

I will be back for more phasma glazing later bye

[opaque coyote]

It's a movie that I love purely because despite the overwhelming amount of shaky cam

[winter vessel]

Farewell Nautolan

[opaque coyote]

I fucking love the framing of it

Like being the random extra in the monster movie that might get stomped on

[arctic talon]

So did Spielberg, just not a super rich one

He lived in a pretty affluent neighborhood

[opaque coyote]

Also both what scares me and also makes me laugh is uh

The Cloverfield monster is an infant

[winter vessel]

Right

[sly ivy]

Based Midwesterner vs cringe new yorkoid

[winter vessel]

There’s an even big boy

Alien

[opaque coyote]

On one hand, it terrifies me because an infant basically destroyed a lot of New York city

[arctic talon]

electrical engineer working on early computers

Okay he was rich lmao

[opaque coyote]

On the other hand, all of his actions makes 100% sense

Like

Yeah he basically teething

That's why he threw the statue of Liberty head

It's equivalent to a baby teething something

[winter vessel]

All messed up

[opaque coyote]

Finding it disgusting

And then just

[sly ivy]

I would bet you anything he still had more of a normal life

[opaque coyote]

Throwing it away

[arctic talon]

Probably

[sly ivy]

You can’t make something like ET

Or the goonies

[arctic talon]

Plenty of rich people can live normal lives

[sly ivy]

Without having had a normal life

[opaque coyote]

I think he might just be a dedicated artist.

I mean the man decided to literally visit the Titanic wreck for his movie

[arctic talon]

Tbf

He also likes submarines

[opaque coyote]

I don't understand that

Like Submarines are cool

But I would NEVER WANT TO BE IN ONE

[sly ivy]

Wat when did Spielberg become James Cameron

[arctic talon]

Wait

Fucks sake

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I know they're much bigger now

[opaque coyote]

Wait

[languid meadow]

Lmao

[opaque coyote]

...

Oh for fucks sake

I keep mixing up directors

[arctic talon]

Chat

[sly ivy]

This has created the super being

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

Send Laati to the mines

[sly ivy]

The Emperor is real

[opaque coyote]

Steven JJ Cameronberg

[arctic talon]

Real imperial propaganda

Made by real imperial propagandists

[sly ivy]

It is Jamesven Spieleron

[opaque coyote]

But yeah I always admired Cameron* for deciding to visit

The actual fucking Titanic wreck

Just for his movie

[arctic talon]

Do you think the propagandists even know that kataphrons are servitors

Lol

[opaque coyote]

And it is shockingly historically accurate

[opaque coyote]

Probably not

[sly ivy]

Cameron is based af he was like a truck driver lmao

One of a bunch of kids

[opaque coyote]

Honestly more importantly.

Wouldn't it be more effective for them to still maintain their actual free thinking in this instance?

Although that would be supremely fucked up but Imperium

[arctic talon]

Well

[winter vessel]

Wouldn’t be out of that realm of possibility

[arctic talon]

Kataphrons need to be made from exceptionally violent people

They also keep more of their independence

Like most higher level mechanicus battle servitors

[opaque coyote]

How much

[arctic talon]

They’re still a bunch of drooling lobotomites

But they’re not as bad as a normal gun servitor

[arctic talon]

Enough to know not to keep on advancing on their own

Pre programmed orders

Ect, all less necessary

[sly ivy]

He’s known for being a ridiculous hardass on set and also like grabbing the camera and filming scenes himself

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think that it should've been that they still have their mind, but they're now just fully controlled/pre-programmed.

[arctic talon]

That’s tech thralls

Lol

Which are cannon fodder

[sly ivy]

But actors want to come back and work with him over and over

[arctic talon]

Tech thralls retain full sentience and Saipance

They’re just mutilated with cybernetics

And tech priests can pre program and order them around

[opaque coyote]

Dang.

Still, it would make sense to not lobotomize these types so that they can still make up strategies on the fly.

But then again, a lot of Tech Priests are almost as inhuman as the Servitors they create

[arctic talon]

They can make strategies on the fly and beam them in

Skitarii can do that

Or a thrall

Or some lower ranking priest

[opaque coyote]

That sounds like a really interesting POV to write about.

[sly ivy]

Wat do they do w the exceptionally horny ppl

[opaque coyote]

The Servitors used for entertainment

[arctic talon]

The new underseer tech priest is a great example

Their entire job is ordering servitors around

[opaque coyote]

Now I'm imaginingjke

An underseer Tech Priest with a Coffee IV Drip

[arctic talon]

Techno archeologist has actual important things to do

[opaque coyote]

"HOLY SHIT. GO LEFT"

[arctic talon]

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0128/0782/files/1_66b24ba8-a44f-489a-b89f-530cb695c28a.png?v=1743527485

The underseer is ordering all the lobotomites around

[sly ivy]

Why did they just shove in the old technoarch lmao

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that sounds like an awful job.

Imagine trying to command a bunch of lobotomized cyborgs

[arctic talon]

Idfk, the team has a variable selection for an enginseer or techno arch lol

[sly ivy]

With otherwise new sculpts

[arctic talon]

As your +1 so to speak

[opaque coyote]

"HOLY SHIT GO LEFT.

NO DON'T GO RIGHT. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR PROGRAM SAYS"

[arctic talon]

It’s like the cron team ig

[opaque coyote]

"STOP SCREAMING FOR HELP INTERNALLY. I DON'T FUCKING CARE. JUST SHOOT THEM"

[arctic talon]

Some of the higher level battle servitors in the box seem more “aware”

[opaque coyote]

"HOLY SHIT. WHOEVER MADE THIS MODEL, CAN WE EXECUTE THEM NOW? PLEASE?"

[arctic talon]

Lol

https://www.flipsidegaming.com/cdn/shop/articles/Typhon_Battleclade.png?v=1743528670

[opaque coyote]

"THEY DIDN'T DO THE LOBOTOMIZATION PROCESS RIGHT."

[arctic talon]

Lobotomites trying to look tough

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Even when lobotomized they still Aura farm

It's an ingrained instinct

[queen laurel]

To be fair these guys look way better than the average c
Servitor

[sly ivy]

Those models are kinda cool

[arctic talon]

I thought they were gona be higher level tech thralls mixed with servitors originally

But nah

They’re just servitors

Slightly less stupid ones

[sly ivy]

I’m not getting my admech back out tho they end up sucking in every edition lol

[opaque coyote]

Why is the middle using a toolbox

Is it like the mechanic

[arctic talon]

Medic

[opaque coyote]

So both

Got it

[arctic talon]

It has medical and repair abilities

[opaque coyote]

How TF does it repair

/medical

[arctic talon]

With its things

[opaque coyote]

How do they even program it to do that

[arctic talon]

Idfk

[opaque coyote]

I kinda want to make a scene of just a tech priest programming a servitor

[arctic talon]

We have the Medicae servitor in Darktide

Similar concept I’d assume

[opaque coyote]

I like to imagine that Tech Priests hold conventions for their tech.

No severe tech Heresy allowed, but you are allowed to show your suped up combat servitor

[winter vessel]

Get their own little booths and lanyard

[opaque coyote]

"Check out my custom built servitor. Now with the option to hear their screams of help!"

[winter vessel]

Tech priests use their flying servo skulls as to like vlog and stuff

[opaque coyote]

New augments and shit

And of course

Weapons

Unfortunately they can't afford live targets yet

[winter vessel]

A science fair but it’s actually hardcore.

[opaque coyote]

Pretty much

[opaque coyote]

"Why is there a volcano?"

[winter vessel]

“Don’t worry, the containment field for my black hole is perfectly stable”

Honestly, I wouldn’t rule out the idea of there being a Tech priest who did the classic potato clock

[opaque coyote]

"The Omnissiah demands it.'

[opaque coyote]

Tradition demands it

So somebody is forced to make it

The tech priest that drew the short stick and is forced to make a Volcano otherwise they'll be servitorized

Probably wouldn't be called a science fair due to how much they hate science

Maybe called like

Omnissiah's Fairvor

[opaque coyote]

Honestly now, imagine a short campaign where you're like

"You're a team of Tech Priests needing to adventure out to get supplies for your Fair project"

[winter vessel]

Probably an STC fragment out there in the galaxy that has a blueprint of doing the Baking Soda Volcano

[opaque coyote]

Honestly thinking of that but it's like

A thermal generator

...

That happens to look like a volcano

Because 40k

[winter vessel]

True

[opaque coyote]

I can imagine a potato clock but instead of a potato it's like

A Catachan plant

"It took me 15 hours and 10 combat servitors to tame it"

[hallow saddle]

getting an actual real potato might be a more impressive feat

a fresh one

[young pecan]

Discovering an ancient STC fragment

It's a baking soda volcano

[plush mason]

that comic is amazing

[sly ivy]

Wat u nerds talkin now

[rocky gale]

You

[arctic talon]

Do we have any lore on how effective “low grade” power fields are

Like it’s obvious that they’re good enough to like

Do stuff but like

What’s the big difference

[queen laurel]

What the heck does clarifies a low level power field

[sly ivy]

Did u have a low level stroke

[arctic talon]

We know eviscerators have them

Power tools

As in like power picks

And also some really shitty power weapons

[queen laurel]

Kaggen stop being asmongold

[sly ivy]

Someone must don the stinky mantle

[queen laurel]

Probably just boost cutting power right?

Probably at the level of just reinforcing the material

They never really specify

[sour hornet]

Do we even have scales for power fields???

[arctic talon]

It cuts through anything

except for other power fields

and force weapon stuff

and energy shields

[sour hornet]

I mean what separates high from low? And where does, say, a munitorum power sword rank?

[arctic talon]

high grade

low grade stuff is industrial equipment

[languid meadow]

Absolute killer croc yippie

[storm jungle]

Lmao bro poor Waylon

[arctic talon]

man

[astral burrow]

Goodnight rejects

JUST IN TIME

[near wasp]

Well then I spent all day messing around with chat gpt writing a 40k story. No wonder AI is a blastomy

[arctic talon]

Do not trust the AI

it will make all it touches into slop

[near wasp]

Yeah kinda using it to outline what I want and I'm gonna go through with a proper write for it, got really distracted and just let it run for a bit and it got really weird and dumb. It decided that all the prayer and chants were secretly a thought plague that was controlling the greater population

Also it gave my character the most absurd plot armor

[winter vessel]

my favorite video from Oculus Imperia is "The Emperor's Lie"

[storm jungle]

use ChatGBT as a helper

never as a "do my workload"

its way better at bouncing ideas off of than outright direct help lol

[winter vessel]

Hey Dilara, until the public release of the Arbites DLC, we're not allowed to openly talk anything related to stuff we don't have access to yet?

[storm jungle]

Nah you can talk

we dont really care if people do leaks and stuff, its basically impossible to stamp out anyway

and like- the class is 3 days away so its not a big deal i dont think lol

[winter vessel]

okay then. just because My YT recommend listed a video of a flashback with Wolfer Narrating the 6th's downfall

wanted to be sure

[storm jungle]

Yeah you wont get threatened for a ban like the helldivers discord

but uhhh id say PROBABLY dont spoil people

[winter vessel]

fair enough

[storm jungle]

[sly ivy]

This is literally just a feed of Dilara’s average day.

[near wasp]

Yeah that's what I was doing. But I got mega bored at work and just let it run

Had it write out a baseline for the knight world and a path through the inquistion

But I'm gonna go back through flush out, correct details and just improve it.

[golden imp]

Aside from mercenary’s, have ork’s and humans ever worked together?

[arctic talon]

yes, usually against chaos or nids

Armagedon had that when the great rift opened

as there were a lot of khornate daemons

[golden imp]

Were they working together or simply had too many daemons between them to shoot the other side?

[arctic talon]

They had a temporary truce

[rose thorn]

Wooo

[dire loom]

The new story stuff and full blown cutscenes are amazing!
