also the whole most volkite weapons had a

volkite tech predates marines, votann predate marines

yeah

#

its likely Emp was copying something existing

with the volkite idea

they do but they had no contact with the emperor

#

I mean weren't gene warriors mentioned during the DAOT?

crystal forum
#

so why are space marines so similar to steeljacks

arctic talon
#

They're both based on something

#

from the DAOT

crystal forum
#

that's what im thinking

arctic talon
#

some sort of "larger" soldier armed with volkites

#

Volkite is an excellent weapon for biological targets

#

ultimately

Also yeah the steeljacks are def designed to be an

maybe the emp saw some army of proto space marines in action during the dark age

i like thinking about it B_CatCrying1

All my friends are well fed by all the Dwarf releases, but I'm so hungry. Nothing for Drukhari

shadow plover
#

the design elements root back to a common ancestor from DaoT

crystal forum
#

i like the idea of the war against the men of iron having similar units on both sides

#

gene soldiers for humanity and their counterparts made of steel

rocky gale
#

and the FEC reveal was a meagre offering

crystal forum
#

emp seeing this and thinking "damn that shit's cool"

crystal forum
#

i like to think we are slowly learning more and more about the votaan's past

#

i had the extreme cope notion that they would be the faction to actually show what the dark age was like

arctic talon
#

tbf

#

volkite in theory would suck into men of iron

plush mason
#

i mean, the idea of a big bulky warrior has existed since the stone age

#

and hell some troop roles in history where reserved for the biggest men in the army

#

a lot of super soldier concepts boil down to "what if we made the exceptionally big dudes mass producible"

dapper gyro
#

It was kind of a thing until some force multipliers and equalizers showed up.

outer wave
#

Kinda fuck with the look of the Steeljacks ngl. Looks tall and imposing like without being space marines

arctic talon
#

The steeljacks look kinda creepy

#

Like they hacked off the legs of an ironkyn

#

To connect them to it

outer wave
#

Oh, they got the legs from something else?

sly ivy
#

Ya the head neck is kind seared uncomfortably in the torso

arctic talon
#

It’s why the upper body is in normal ironkyn colors

outer wave
#

I see I see

arctic talon
#

normal ironkin

#

Do you see what I mean with the whole

#

they literally chopped up an ironkyn and shoved them into it

#

like i think its a cool design element and it shows what ironkyn like

#

do in society to an extent

outer wave
#

I think Im seeing it yeah

#

The upper torso has been slapped onto a larger frame

arctic talon
#

its not the first time we've seen chopped up ironkyn either

#

yeah

outer wave
#

What else uses chopped up Ironkyn?

arctic talon
#

Copilot for the land fortress is an ironkyn hardwired into the thing without their arms

#

And the new vehicle gunner has one without one arm and no legs

outer wave
#

I see I see

#

Kinda hope we see these kinda Votaan when they make a videogame debut

#

Whether thats just Mechanicus 2 or elsewhere

Didn’t know where to post this (channel wise) but a friend of mine created a TTRPG generic system. I told him I could play test it with him. So I’ll be running a Warhammer 40K universe one shot. DM me for more info

The current look of the Arbites is based around that

Much of the cosmetics we get in game are based on the minis

So it tracks

Thats trippy, I never knew about arbites before the update but now it’s probably one of my favorite parts of the imperium

queen laurel
#

darktide has made them more popular

outer wave
#

Difference is that Ogryns were always semi-liked

#

Arbites was much more obscure lore for a while

queen laurel
#

They were always treated as oh cool ogres in space

#

and then they move on to the next cool thing

Rogue trader too. Bullying demons with nothing but a 12 gauge and a pit bull has made me prefer arbites over astartes

I need more fleshed out corsairs

#

They're my favorite elves in the setting, because while not being torture-drunk crackheads that live in the galactic equivalent of your attic; they're also not walking nerd emojis like the craftworlders.

#

Harlequins are nice, but when you dive past stale memes on grimdank, it becomes very clear that your average Harlequin is more detached from what can be considered normal personhood than your average Asuryani.

Stupid question but do restaurant chains exist.

#

They don't need to be Imperium wide

#

Just like in a system

This goes for Eldar and T'au planets/craftworlde asw

make one up

Are Kriegsman cloned or do they got a more crude version of the votann vats

It's not pure cloning where you take the DNA of a person and just remake that person into a new guy

hexed trail
# opaque coyote Stupid question but do restaurant chains exist.

Companies do exist but they are treated more like merchant houses and don't really resemble what you would call a franchise.
And for it to multiply planetary it would be only available to mid to high nobility unless it's imperium run like corpse starch is

hexed trail
#

They also use this type of tech but I believe it's more advanced

celest dome
#

Cloning has issues, as can be seen with Afriel Strain guardsmen

#

I do wonder that since cloning have soul issues, would the clone of a Psyker not have that issue, as they have "brighter" souls

hexed trail
#

I don't think psykers genes are stable enough or the clone would have issues of instant daemon infestation

#

Or they do exist

#

I just think unless you can clone them with the ability to control their abilities from the moment they awaken it's a bit too dangerous to be cloning psykers

languid meadow

If you think really hard you can change the flavour of your spit and eat anything

Yeah one of the origins for our gang is us complaining about the taste of corpse starch and the our superior being petty and falsely charging us

celest dome
hexed trail
celest dome
#

But they don't have the anti psyker thing

hexed trail
#

They might have a warp prensense but they don't seem to have human souls or at least whole souls

celest dome
#

I don't subscribe to the Blank=soulless

hexed trail
#

Blanks are strange in that they are warp black holes where most people hate them because they can't sense their souls but also feel wrong to be around them as they basically absorbed the warp around them and make it disappears

hexed trail
#

It is beyond disturbing for most people to be near them

sour hornet
opaque coyote
#

Like

#

"Bro are you a fucking Krieger? You're ordering Vanilla Ice Cream?"

opaque coyote
#

Most of the time it's more like

#

"This guy's weird."

#

Jurgen is known to be smelly.

But it's unknown whether it's due to him being a blank or actual smell.

sour hornet
#

Most blanks, like most psykers, are rather low level

opaque coyote
#

My opinion is that he used to shower and shit. But after everyone else called him stinky despite him cleaning himself.

He just stopped.

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Or him actually smelling bad.

#

Personally I think it's both.

celest dome
#

Combination of both

sour hornet
opaque coyote
#

I mean if you were called stinky no matter how much you clean yourself

#

You'd probably give up at some point

opaque coyote
sour hornet
#

I'm thanking dark heresy in advance for letting me play a psyker in yet another game

opaque coyote
#

So he might genuinely be a heartthrob, but the blank Aura just has him be seen as a weird stinky man

sour hornet
#

They just need a game where i can be an eldar

celest dome
opaque coyote
sour hornet
#

and I'll give James Workshop literally all of my coins

opaque coyote
#

Imagine how fucking sick playing as an Aspect Warrior would be

sour hornet
#

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

opaque coyote
#

Genuinely the gameplay would probably be similar pace to ultrakill

#

Or maybe Doom Eternal

sour hornet
#

Imagine getting eldar personalities that aren't just "smug prick" exposed to the broader audience?

opaque coyote
#

Since well

#

You're not all talk.

sour hornet
#

I think eldar have played that trope out

opaque coyote
#

I can imagine a taunt button similar to Boltgun

#

"Primitive Monkeigh"

#

But yeah a different personality would be nice

sour hornet
#

farseers are smug, because they can see the future, and its still annoying

opaque coyote
#

Still it would also show how Eldar become smug as fuck

#

Especially if you play good

#

Like if you're an aspect warrior mowing down a fuck ton of SMs, Imperial guards, etc. because video game

sour hornet
#

Fair

opaque coyote
#

Although maybe Dark Eldar would also be interesting.

You gain health the more pain you cause.

sour hornet
#

Its just like the Imperial equivalent of making another Malum Caedo, like its lore accurate, but is also expected

opaque coyote
#

Like you're constantly losing health, so you have to kill and torture.

celest dome
#

If an Eldar led tide game was to happen, the best pick would be the Ynnari

#

2 Eldar

#

2 Dark Eldar

#

1 Harlequin

opaque coyote
#

Glory kills basically causing the enemy an ungodly amount of suffering

What I wouldn't give to have loyalist space marines as antagonists in a video game...

Like using Chaos Sorceries and shit would be cool

#

Daemon Weapons

celest dome
#

Closest to a Chaos Doom game is "Forgive me Father 1/2"

opaque coyote
#

Honestly though, being able to play chaos would be cool as shit.

Tzeentchian would be fun

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Spells would be fucking awesome

opaque coyote
#

Jokes aside some of these weapons are sick

#

This is exactly the shit I am talking about

#

Do you know how cool Daemon weapons and spells would be?

#

Hell how about summoning some to help

#

The protag would be undivided

#

Because A) Generic

#

B) Allows protag to use all types of spells and shit

#

In general I want a Chaos Protag game

#

Throwing away any marketing pretense of the Imperium being the ""lesser evil""

#

Just embrace the fact that you literally worship four mega satans

celest dome
#

Have a skill tree that let you pledge yourself to the gods

opaque coyote
#

In general, my ideal 40k game is a Chaos Rogue-like

#

Rogue-like fits Chaos for

#

Obvious reasons

#

I also imagine different starting points.

Like SM have the best floor but the mutation threshold is lower because you're already kinda gene edited

#

So your DNA has less space to be fucked with

#

Before turning into a Chaos Spawn

celest dome
#

While I'm not a SM fan, I could like a narrative game where you follow a squad of SM that have to join Chaos cause they've been accused of being Chaos servants.
Working à la Wasteland 3

opaque coyote
#

While a regular human has a much lower floor but a higher ceiling

#

You can take much more potential mutations/blessings

#

But your start is much more harsh as a result

#

Examples like that

hexed trail
opaque coyote
#

Generic

#

Like the space marine games aren't uh

#

Well

#

Let's just say we definitely don't play them for the story

#

It's pretty typical honestly

celest dome
#

And just plot armour PoV 💀

opaque coyote
#

"Now we have to stop big evil chaos man"

celest dome
#

Also: "Use Chaos stuff"

opaque coyote
#

Honestly the only wild twist is Leandros still being alive

#

To be honest, an idea that I had is that if SM3 gets made or dlc or whatever

#

Leandros should be the protagonist

celest dome
#

Pls let Titus fall to Chaos

#

I'd consider buying SM3 if they did

hexed trail
# celest dome Repeat of SM1

No? What you mean SM 1 was about Titus being forced to take everything on his own as people around him begin to distrust him more and more as they don't recognise that his gift is actually a gift and not chaos corruption while SM 2 is him learning he isn't along and he has brothers in arms and himself and others learning that his gift is a gift and not chaos corruption.

The Master of Mankind iirc

it has a chapter about his childhood

Yeah hes a Hittite iirc

born on the banks of the Sakarya river

he also masascres the Thudner Warriors on the base of Ağrı Dağı which is funny lol

Why did one of my comment disappear then reapper in a different order

So are the GK the only SM faction that need an update now?

storm jungle

I think so

#

they are the only guys without Primaris update iirc

So it will probably come next edition.

storm jungle

Yeah people assumed this edition but all they got was the piece of shit dreadknight lol

They still could get something if there any more previews nearer to the end of the year, like a kill-team.

Interesting question

I understand that the Custodian spear basically have the gun built into them. But is there anything similar to them but more along the lines of a sword, is there more examples of “gun-sword” type weapons

celest dome
#

The custodes have some

#

Then there are some Duelling Swords from Dark Heresy that are Swords + Lasgun on the hilt

shell barn
#

The custodes just prefer the spears I guess?

I feel like that’s what I usually see at least

Tell me this isn’t some WoW ass

Idk I think the Chuardin are great, yeah a tad wowwy but they feel like a significant improvement on the old forgeworld shit

I just hate the wowwy look. And they had been moving away w the new stormcast and ghouls and vamps and even the fish elves

rose thorn
#

I imagine if you don’t paint the edges so harshly it will look a lot less wow

#

They went HARD on the edges

#

Also don’t paint the skin grey lol

#

They non metallic metals the entire fucking army

near wasp
#

Gw painters paint weird

rose thorn
#

Uhg I love this

#

The giant jade bull robot monster

#

Also I disagree with the demon gasoline being green, it should have been a different color

#

Making it normal fire wouldn’t have felt aos but green is too uh

#

Idk the word

queen laurel
#

Even the most basic of guys have it

#

And yeah that's one thing i wish is they chose the default colors to be something else for the fire

#

Because green fire is straight up warp stone to me

#

Like every time i see green fire i assume aoh

#

A warp fire thrower is nearby

rose thorn
#

My vote would ahve been magenta

#

Yeah I know chaos being magenta is a 40K thing

#

But the message would have gotten across here

queen laurel
#

I suggest giving their fire the good old classic red orange color

rose thorn
#

Tzeentch uses regular fire

queen laurel
#

But that's just going to interact with the fire slayers

????

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Homy shut bone splittaz should never come to aos

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I might be blind

queen laurel
#

So yeah their warp fire can be either blue or pink

#

It's just like how it appears in total war

#

Where they shoot blue fire and pink fire all over the f****** place

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

But as you said they do use orange

#

But most of the time their fire is again blue or pink

rose thorn
#

THIS LOOKS SICK AS FUCK

sturdy sedge
queen laurel
#

That's their interpretation of warp fire because of their use of warp stone

queen laurel
#

Is because well fire slayers are a thing

rose thorn
#

Yeah

queen laurel
#

I think they didn't want them to visually blend together

rose thorn
#

I saw orange fire people photoshopped and I didn’t like it

#

The models were 100% made for a not normal fire color

queen laurel
#

Yeah but blue pink and green are taken colors for chaos fire

languid meadow
# rose thorn

yeah I think it's just the green that makes them look really "wowwy"

queen laurel
#

So you have to curve ball yourself and think of colors outside of that

languid meadow
#

I can only think of the WoW movie everytime I see it

rose thorn
sturdy sedge
# rose thorn

Huh thought it would be black and dark red. Especially fire

queen laurel
#

But the greedy bastard again uses two fire colors

rose thorn
#

Oh another idea for fire is like reverse fire

#

Black flames and stuff

celest dome
#

I'd say red with dark undertone to emulate oil fire

rose thorn
#

Maybe for an Ulgu themed one

queen laurel
#

Make the fire redish

languid meadow
#

monochrome fire would be worth a try

sturdy sedge
celest dome
rose thorn
#

“Yeah we like to chuck realmstone into the fire to hide us”

sturdy sedge
#

Lil more dark red mb

languid meadow
#

black base with white highlights but that would be a pain in the ass to do ime

celest dome
#

Yes, darker still but can't really find any picture like that

sturdy sedge
queen laurel
#

That's also how their fire look like in total war

rose thorn
#

I didn’t like the fire in total war tbh

#

Looks like melted cheese to me

languid meadow
queen laurel
#

Yeah so far my go to would be red fire

languid meadow
#

but trying to do this on a model would fucking suckkkkk

queen laurel
#

Red fire dark undertones like cacti said

celest dome
#

Closest to what I could see in my mind

at least you can change the fire colour without much effort, to change the blunderbuss would be mega ass to do

queen laurel

yeah I can see it working on them

So fucking excited

it's not even the colour of it, it's the design

#

don't like it

Looks like someone messed up and gave them skaven colour palette

languid meadow
#

The flamerhurlers look decent

queen laurel
languid meadow
#

like these look nice

queen laurel
#

It's a good thing people can paint this how they want but the official painting

languid meadow
#

however the blunderbuss just doesn't do it for me

queen laurel
#

The machines look like it runs and warp stone

#

That's my big problem

#

Green fire really looks like they use warp stone

#

Which isn't the case because their main source of power is grounding down demons into fine energy

celest dome
#

Feel like GW really tried to not have it too close to the BF Chaos Dwarf and fell into another corner

queen laurel
#

Those guys literally have fire on their name

celest dome
#

True

queen laurel
#

Having their color match those would have some visual blending

celest dome
#

Rework the Fyreslayer from the ground up uwugryn

#

Instead of naked Slayer with magma, they're more in line with this miniature

#

Turn them into Hunters that exit their Holds without much and kill beasts to wear them as armour

#

So the basic ones would still be relatively naked (but pls, put on some pants)

#

But the more experienced would have carapaces dripping with blood or molten magma

queen laurel
celest dome
#

Somewhat surprised that there aren't any K'daai

queen laurel
#

If it's grounded up demon put inside a machine

celest dome
#

Not really similar though

queen laurel
#

That would be the dominator engine

celest dome
#

Doesn't evoke the same thing

#

The Destroyer look similarish

#

But K'daai look more ethereal

near wasp
#

Dwemer centurion ahh design

queen laurel
# celest dome But K'daai look more ethereal

It's literally their interpretation of k'daai though

Within these ironclad daemon engines burns an inferno of tormented daemon-matter, and the malice of those entities leaks from their eyes in hateful waves.

#

Take demon torment it and turn it into demonic soup and then put it inside a giant metal monster

#

And watch it come to life

celest dome
#

In exchange the Leagues could gain the new Null Kharadron as concept as an Anti Warp option

arctic talon
#

They’re an inversion on a few warhammer dwarf tropes

celest dome
#

I felt like that Psyker miniature was meant to remiss to Runepriest/Masters tbh

arctic talon
#

Def meant to give those vibes

#

But the LoV do invert the whole no magic thing

#

On its head where they commonly use it in battle

celest dome

Oh that’s a good photo bash

#

I think the scheme they chose should have been a more vibrant red

Dwarfs putting everyone else to shame with their sick ass minis in both AOS and 40k is good to see

But good

better

arctic talon
#

I think the battle fantasy scheme is a bit too bright

#

But the GW one is too

#

Dull?

celest dome
#

I think having the red and brass switched would be better

queen laurel
#

Make the fire more orange or red

#

It genuinely sells the fact that hashut is the lord of fire and tyranny

#

@rose thorn i looked at the tome art and color looks a lot different than what they painted on the minis

rose thorn
#

It’s so good I’m screaming

queen laurel
#

This is like more ethereal blueish night haunt fire

languid meadow
#

It's more teal with purplish highlights

queen laurel
#

Looks way better then the green

languid meadow
#

instead of green

queen laurel
#

Yeah that's the stuff

#

It's more ethereal looking

celest dome
#

Oh making a Shyish themed Chaos Dwarf host that instead of using Deamons grind up any type of Undead to power their stuff

queen laurel
#

And teal i would say is at least different enough to look at than blue so it doesn't even contend with tzeencht

queen laurel

Give me receipts.

#

I don’t do that.

#

I think it has worldbuilding issues sure but I’m rooting for it.

queen laurel
sly ivy
#

Correct.

#

That’s not what you claimed

sly ivy
#

if u want 2 debate

queen laurel
#

It's still within my argument

sly ivy
#

Your claim was that every time aos is mentioned I come in and try to turn people away from it.

#

That is the thing to which I was responding.

#

Try to keep the threads straight.

#

I don’t like the new dwarf aesthetics. I do for instance like the new orruk aesthetics

#

And the new aelf aesthetics

queen laurel
sly ivy
#

And the new CoS aesthetics

sly ivy
#

The tomes are nice.

#

the rpg is promising.

#

But I never said anything to contradict this nor did I say the setting is not worthwhile

#

And you can search that.

#

Smdh

#

You’re not good at this.

rose thorn
#

what is goign on????????

queen laurel
#

But anyway

sly ivy
#

No examples

#

Sad

#

Also I make bad jokes about everything

#

I accept your capitulation.

#

AoS genuinely pains me. I like a great deal about it.

#

Including as I said much of the Destruction take esp vs WHFB which had really derivative ass lore but some good books despite that.

rose thorn
#

you dont have to liek all of aos, it deonst want you to like veyrthing in it

#

you have liek 1-3 factions you adore and play those and ignroe everythign else

queen laurel
#

Like you don't like the writing sure but don't just say just read only those

rose thorn
#

you didnt even recommend son of the god eater?!?!?

queen laurel
#

Guy was a beginner so i was giving books to a new guy to read

rose thorn
#

oh lmao

#

books in aos are very faction orintated, you really just read waht your interested in

#

theres only liek 3 bad books

#

serphon and fyreslayer rip on that

sly ivy
rose thorn
#

hte

Books are the setting??!?!?

sly ivy
#

(That was to bulgur or whatever his name is)

rose thorn
#

its how lore is convayed

sly ivy
#

I said nothing about those.

celest dome

AoS has way fewer bad miniatures than 40k has

rose thorn
#

eye pan to ogors

#

Jokes aside they don’t

#

But

#

I think they’re the most boring ass thing ever visually

median star
#

also is gorgon pattern armor still made or did that schematic die w ferrus

queen laurel
arctic talon
rose thorn
#

70% of the fandom hate them but 30% fucking adore them

queen laurel
#

They are berserker dwarves the pride themselves to be the strongest and like fire

arctic talon
#

Stuff like the blinding refractor fields

celest dome
queen laurel
#

Honestly the same can be said for bone splitters

#

Give the more clothes like bones and stuff

arctic talon
#

Make them look like monster hunter/j

#

I will not elaborate

celest dome
queen laurel
sly ivy
# sly ivy Obv joking.

Given more substantive comments you’ve excluded.

WHFB is a way worse setting than AoS. For the record.

celest dome
#

40k is the worst of the 3

arctic talon
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

40k has munda

queen laurel
#

Yeah i'm going to be honest i'm sorry cactus but fantasy is the weakest

celest dome
arctic talon
#

It also doesn’t have the original iteration of Araby

#

/j

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Fantasy also had the nippon incident

arctic talon
#

I think whfb is the weakest of the 3

#

It’s also the most racist of the 3 TopKekSphere but whatever

#

That doesn’t matter

#

My actual opinions is that they’re all about equal

#

They’re all pretty close together for me lol

celest dome
#

Tbf yes

arctic talon
#

My enjoyment of them each fluctuates

celest dome
#

They each have strength and weaknesses

queen laurel
#

I like fantasy but it's more generic aspects are why it's less appealing to me

sly ivy
#

it’s so derivative

median star

WHF was incredibly racist with some of its stuff

Yep

You know what it looks good

rose thorn

should the soulstuff be grenish teel or pink

Orruks fit more into AOS because they are like ridiculously OP'er than 40k orks i think

arctic talon

#

they just suck aside from their named characters

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

Like grimgor stuff like that are good

#

But the entire army

#

Eh

#

Fucking sucks

sly ivy
#

AoS orruks are less goofy and are genuinely threatening

rose thorn
#

Kruleboyz are chilling as bandits that old orcs use to fill

sly ivy
#

And the gloomspite lore is good too

rose thorn
#

and ironjawz are commting SETTING WIDE CLEANSINGS

queen laurel
#

Blacks orcs on the other hand while cool giant warriors are so god damn bland in personality you would think they are an actual rock

arctic talon
#

Kruleboyz ruin MY FORESTS WITH THEIR STUPID SWAMPS

arctic talon
#

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO KILL THEM ALL

#

This post was fact checked by real Sylvaneth patriots

queen laurel
# sly ivy I meant than 40K, kinda.

40k still has more character than the ones in fantasy to

They don't rely on the characters much because your armies can have their own themes and stuff

#

Stealth orks

#

Kleptomaniacs

#

Speed freaks

#

Monster hunters

#

That's good

#

Fantasy is just, ugh

arctic talon
#

They hit shit

#

they throw literal shit

queen laurel
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

they're assholes

sly ivy
#

The kruleboyz give a whole other side tho too in aos

arctic talon
#

Kruleboyz are cool

late osprey
#

Is 40k the worst setting ever designed?

#

No idea how people could like it.

sly ivy
#

Realms of Ruin cutscenes are so good

queen laurel
sly ivy
#

Yeah they look great

#

Kruleboyz my main issue is like

arctic talon
#

they need more ig? lol

queen laurel
#

They need cavalry

#

Like they need those giant cats killabosses ride as cavalry units

sly ivy
#

but but they have ork riding annihilation bear dog cat

rose thorn
#

I mean depending on each definition of each of the words

sly ivy
#

I also think aos has set up a nice push pull / tense series of relations among the gorkamorka species.

arctic talon
#

Am I the only person here who actually likes 40k TopKekSphere

sly ivy
#

arctic talon
#

If my theory is correct and were getting kurnothi aelves this edition

arctic talon
#

arctic talon
#

No

sly ivy
#

No

queen laurel
#

No

celest dome
#

The Void Dragon not looking like an European Dragon was a darn shame

arctic talon
#

Honestly

#

I didn't want it to look like that either

#

I wanted it to look like some horrific abomination lol

#

thats like melted necrodermis reforming

median star
#

were their any ctan that the necrons were like fuck you buddy you dont get to have a body

arctic talon
#

No

#

they killed the Flayer ig

celest dome

The Flayer one is the closest

sly ivy
celest dome
#

But they didn't really know if they had personalities before being put in the body

arctic talon
#

Nightbringer is too human

#

ish

#

its too humanoid rather

#

I wanted a really fucked up looking cron

sly ivy
#

No you’re right

It doesn't look like Khazalid or Black Tongue

fire tongue is Zharralid

sly ivy
queen laurel
#

I think it's zharralid though genuinely

languid meadow
#

from the very view pictures we have of Zharralid it doesn't look like it but of course it could've changed

#

but the new writing is 100% inspired by Cuneiform

queen laurel
#

Definitely

I love these editorial videos since it just injects random people with the knowledge of these storylines existing
