Why does this bunny show off her biceps?

arctic talon
#

yes

vagrant fox
#

Dilara is evil, is why

forest moat
#

Idk about yall but I love inquisitor power armors

arctic talon
#

human power armor is cool

soft thunder
#

does a creature have a name?

arctic talon
#

Hamadrya

vagrant fox
#

Inquisitors have the most drip, it is true. I'm very partial to this set

soft thunder
#

Always imagined Huron's creature kinda looking like

shell mason
#

likewise witchfinder

shell mason
arctic talon
#

Good

raven stone
#

@opaque coyote I finally did the thing.
And damn, Arbites class is cooking…

#

Haven’t even got the level up too high and weapons feel like smooth overkill…

wet sandal
dapper gyro
#

Guardsman with power armour when?

crystal forum
#

no

green loom
dire loom
dire loom
opaque coyote
#

I think only

arctic talon
#

rare

opaque coyote
#

Inquistors and Sisters of Battle got them

arctic talon
#

admech uses most of it

opaque coyote
#

And a lot of admech

#

But even then it is relatively rare

#

Since most who go into combat don't need it cause they already replaced their body with armor or are cannonfodder

#

And others just don't go into combat

#

So it's only for the weird inbetweens

slender patio
#

Do we know what happened to the gray knight who was captured and tortured? Or it just ended after being send to some chaos god

cyan merlin
#

Alright I’m bored drop the most obscure official lore you know

opaque coyote
#

This is old lore btw

cyan merlin
#

PFFFFHAHAHAHA

languid meadow
#

Not really obscure I guess but the super flat world is hilarious

opaque coyote
#

Idk it's more the fact that Shem reminds me of a comic series called Blue Chair

#

And now I can't stop thinking of Slaanesh as this mf (who is named... Shen)

cyan merlin
#

I recognize the character
Never knew what it was from

outer wave
#

Its just someone's OC for a comic he makes on twitter

cyan merlin
#

Listen anyone that does writing has a self insert character…

opaque coyote
#

Also

#

The Tau words for bird (y’eld), spider (mal'caor) and strong (orrus) are also the names of the ‘unusual’ technology used by Spyrers in necromunda.

cyan merlin
#

Was about to comment on malcador

opaque coyote
#

Yeah it was autocorrect

#

Also 100% shows that uh

dapper gyro
opaque coyote
#

Yeah some of the tech used is T'au tech

cyan merlin
#

Heresy

opaque coyote
#

Although tbf Tech Heresy is everywhere.

There's a reason why there's memes for the Mechanicus going down the Necron Pipeline

cyan merlin
#

(Tau gauss guns are super cool and I wanna give them to my guardsmen)

#

Wait no

#

It’s the necrons with gauss

opaque coyote
#

Which tbf...

There's a lot of gay overtones in Necron stuff

#

I think one Necron warlord is trans

opaque coyote
#

Or railguns

cyan merlin
dapper gyro
#

It is called gauss, but it has nothing to do with the gauss magnetic mechanic...

opaque coyote
#

Also the Necron Gauss guns... Aren't Gauss guns

cyan merlin
opaque coyote
#

That's just the Imperium trying to compare it to something

#

Y'know the phrase that sufficiently advanced technology might as well be magic

#

...

#

The Necrons are that

#

They are one of the two races that don't use warp based FTL

dapper gyro
#

Or GW being dumb and refuses to correct it.

opaque coyote
#

The other ones are the Tyranids

cyan merlin
opaque coyote
tough haven
#

Necrons in canon call it gauss though

dapper gyro
#

GW is from UK... What kind of language do they need to translate to English? Saxon?

opaque coyote
#

Since otherwise it implies that the Necrons are way more advanced than even mankind's prime. Can't have that.

cyan merlin
#

Tyranids are also cool
I wonder why plague marines don’t… Do more to fight them, seeing as they’re about the only things that CAN and would be motivated to

opaque coyote
#

Because

#

Y'know

#

Chaos

#

Their greatest strength and weakness

cyan merlin
#

I mean immortality kinda means you’ve already won it’s just a matter of when

opaque coyote
#

Oh yeah also this isn't obscure.

But even after turning to Chaos... CSMs still hate Xenos

#

They just

#

Can't get over their racism for 0.01 seconds

dapper gyro
#

Nurgle doesn't have numbers vs Tyranids.

opaque coyote
#

Which I find really funny

#

"I won't ever work with a filthy alien."

"But you... Sold your soul to the God of Violence"

"And?"

dapper gyro
#

Nurgle already has hard time with orks.

cyan merlin
opaque coyote
#

At some point it isn't indoctrination anymore

#

It's just the love of the game

cyan merlin
#

Have any imperials tried to
Leave
Like the galaxy itself seems like the main thing between humanity and survival at this point

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Distance between galaxy is too far.

opaque coyote
#

Now try traveling

In space hell

#

To other galaxies

#

If a pathway even exists

dapper gyro
#

Only the Silent King did it, and wasn't successful.

opaque coyote
#

The Astronomicon basically acts as a lighthouse

#

Going far away from that generally sucks for navigation

cyan merlin
#

Also the Tyranids but the Tyranids might be the apex predators of the entire universe

opaque coyote
#

Which implies that he uh

#

Seen some shit

opaque coyote
dapper gyro
#

Also, Necron used hyper space/webway to travel instead of the warp, yet, still not enough fuel to get to the next galaxy.

opaque coyote
#

Well not even half

#

Approx. 90% of them are either still napping

#

Or got their sleeping place destroyed with the passage of time

cyan merlin
opaque coyote
#

But yeah

#

And Nurgle still hasn't shared his

#

Top 10 creations

#

His masterpieces

dapper gyro
#

Well, even in the milky way, there are shit that not even the nids or chaos dare to touch.

cyan merlin
dapper gyro
#

Ghoul star regions for example

#

Those places make even chaos princes went mad and tyranids went feral.

cyan merlin
#

The hell is a ghoul star

outer wave
#

Ghoul star system is a system in the galaxy that, from whatI recall, doesn't house any living life that we would recognize (necrons, tyranids, etc)

#

Its a very dead region and yet nothing goes near it

dapper gyro
outer wave
#

Actually, I think a necron kingdom is there, but its a flayer kingdom

cyan merlin
#

Flayers are insane right?

outer wave
#

Yep

cyan merlin
#

Don’t know much about them, only recently heard people talking about them because some CC made a short featuring them

outer wave
#

They're necrons that got infected by the Flayer virus after the defeat of one C'tan

#

As necrons that are infected, they're treated as those with leprosy back in ancient times within necron society

cyan merlin
#

A h

outer wave
#

They are useful shock troops though so no reason not to use them if they wanna help out

#

But otherwise, its very much a "10 ft pole" kinda relationship

cyan merlin
#

What’s the highest ranking flayed? If there’s a whole kingdom of them I’m sure some leaders were infected

outer wave
#

Flayer Kings are Necron Lords who have suffered less from the ravages of the curse of the Flayer Virus, a curse sent in retribution by a C'tan known as Llandu'gor the Flayer, with their personalities largely intact. The Flayed Ones, as debased and feral creatures, will gravitiate towards the mightiest of their kind. When in proximity with one an...

#

Flayer Kings

cyan merlin
#

Ooooo

outer wave
#

Sadly no real support for a Flayer themed army atm

cyan merlin
#

Quick! Release another Cadian set!

#

The more I learn about 40k lore the more I hate that only a few parts of it gets a lot of attention

outer wave
#

Yeah you get used to seeing that alot

#

There's an image GW put out of minor races in the galaxy, and all of them are super cool looking and unique

#

None of them have lore or models

cyan merlin
#

It would be so fun to have a faction that’s just miscellaneous minor races

outer wave
#

That's Tau funnily enough lmao

cyan merlin
#

Okay but how many tau players actually use that

outer wave
#

No clue, dont play the tabletop lmao

cyan merlin
#

More minors!
Wait no-

outer wave
cyan merlin
#

All the minor races I’ve heard of were super cool in concept

#

Know of any?

#

In some amount of detail

tough haven
#

Kroot, vespids, all the other tau races

outer wave
tough haven
outer wave
#

There's the Enslavers

tough haven
#

Those too

outer wave
#

I can't remember their names, but there's the ugly worm-like people?

opaque coyote
#

Nah probably not them

#

I only remember them because they are more war crimey than the Imperium

#

Their entire society literally revolves around war crimes and doing vast "performances"

#

AKA more war crimes

#

Gotta say the idea is very entertaining

#

Basically

#

They make tactical decisions based on spectacle, flash and aiming to inflict the heaviest casualties on both sides

cyan merlin
#

I’ve heard of “Vore” creatures

opaque coyote
#

With no concern on what is tactically sensible

#

Which I find funny

#

The Orks would also love them

#

TLDR; "Do it for the bit" but as a race.

cyan merlin
#

Sounds
Awesome

#

Where exactly are minor races found anyway
I never see anything other than the imperium pointed out on galaxy maps

outer wave
#

I assume anywhere tbh

soft thunder
outer wave
#

I see

soft thunder
#

Those vampire things in the galactic north are pretty cool. Also around the ghoul stars iirc? They have a small empire

cyan merlin
soft thunder

they or mind control or something iirc

cyan merlin

Vampires

soft thunder
#

big list https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_sentient_species had no idea tau had so many

This is a list of sapient species known to exist (or have existed) within the galaxy and beyond. The title is due to widespread confusion about the definition of "sentient", which is able to perceive or feel (almost all life is sentient, because it must be able to perceive in order to operate its metabolism, which is part of the definition of l...

#

tau has that freaktide

#

damn tau has crab ppl

#

lots of invertebrates, too. (insert spineless joke here)

cyan merlin
#

Tau always did seem like they’d live by oceans

#

Wish that part of the tau would be focused on more really

#

But uh, cooperation between species without ulterior motives isn’t warhammer enough

#

Better throw in a “Not genocide wink

soft thunder
#

They also gotta make it feel different than the halo covanent. Wish they'd fun a Fire Warrior 2 game w/ all the weird stuff

cyan merlin
#

Part of the covenant was the overwhelming force

#

Actually the covenant is the imperium but less racist
And that says a lot given how anything smaller than an elite was treated

#

But yeah
Minor races under tau banner
More of that

opaque coyote
#

Any auxiliary race is basically a second class citizen at best (either that or mercs)

#

But better than being fucking murdered

#

But yeah generally I wish there was more variety.

Mechas are cool but I'd love some flavoring to them

soft thunder
#

we don't really know how they treat a lot of their auxilary, I assume? Like most of those 20+ on the list 'just exist' and don't have more than a few paragraphs at best.

opaque coyote
#

Basically

#

Although there does exist an alien species about as big as a knight

#

Wbich

#

...

#

Come on that just sounds cool

cyan merlin
#

Yeah show us more of THAT

opaque coyote
#

I think they're called the Vorgh?

#

Yhp

#

Unfortunately they got like a paragraph

#

💀

#

GW moment

cyan merlin
#

gah
So many cool ideas
So little attention

soft thunder
#

This freak is probably the most fleshed out "background race" of the tau. Like they have not just more than 2 sentances, but 3 whole paragraphs AND a picture. lol https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Galg

Galgs (Admuninus Sextus)[2] are a strange alien race.[2]

cyan merlin
#

“Are a strange alien race”

#

👁️ 👄 👁️

soft thunder
#

I get 'star wars fluff race' vibes from them and I'm ok with that. 40k need more of that to make the galaxy feel bigger

#

freaktide

cyan merlin
#

No.
MORE SPACE MARINE SUCCESSORS!

opaque coyote
#

...

#

Man T'au erotica must be crazy

cyan merlin
#

I meeeaaaan…

cyan merlin
#

Must give good hugs at the very least…

#

Not saying I double checked the rules but… Y’know…

opaque coyote
#

Jokes aside, the added races in the T'au definitely need more of a spotlight. That is obvious

soft thunder
#

No, actually we need Titus fighting and being in camera view of more legally distinct GW products.

opaque coyote
#

I can settle for Titus being camera view for something else if you know what I m-

Hey what are you doing with that Purity Seal and Thunder Hammer? Wait NONON-

yellow names, destroy them now.

What are people even expecting from a genestealer cult

celest dome
#

In DT?

#

Or in general

grim breach
#

In DT
I heavily doubt we'll be dealing with literal actual genestealers except as potential minibosses

plush mason
#

yeah

sour hornet
grim breach
#

People gonna be mad if a genestealer cult shows up and isn't basically literally a 'nid invasion but that's not happening on atoma rn

plush mason
sour hornet
grim breach
#

traitor gaurd and actual cultists that aren't tied to space marines finally get a spotlight

I'd rather like...hereteks/dark mechanicum/whoever is maintaining cultist technology show up

#

Even if in a limited capacity

celest dome
celest dome
grim breach
#

Nurgle is very easy to implement and is basically the best for this kind of game

plush mason
#

yup

#

hell if SM2 didnt have nids it would have had nurgle

grim breach
#

Space marines can more feasibly handle more things

plush mason
#

orks nids nurgle, the 3 forces most suited to a horde shooter

grim breach
#

You don't have to worry about the actual feasibility of fighting like

Tzangors en masse

#

Im glad we got rubricae in SM2 but like

#

Ppl hate them mfs

plush mason
#

arent rubric marines well above the combat capabilities of most normal space marines?

grim breach
#

Depends on who's writing KEKW_ogryn

plush mason
#

true

grim breach
#

The main thing is they are functionally immortal

celest dome
plush mason
#

nurgle has zombies

grim breach
#

I cant help but think that a khornate cult would be endless rager variations

plush mason
#

so just easiest to make a horde shooter due to that

celest dome
#

Depend on the type of cult

plush mason
#

nah the video games only focus on the zombies

celest dome
#

Blood pact for example would be very much like the Scabs

plush mason
#

yeah they would

celest dome
#

Poxwalker/Groaner equivalent are writable.

#

As they would still be needed

#

GSC -> Kissed (human/civilians infected by the GS kiss)
Khorne -> Civilians that have been mostly drained for blood and are maddened
Tzeentch -> Civilians being puppets for the Sorcerer
Slaanesh -> Drugged up Civilians

grim breach
#

Thing is

#

Nurgle already covers these bases pretty well

celest dome
#

People want to kill things that look different 🤷

grim breach
#

This feels like someone going to left 4 dead and being like

#

"Man"

#

"Whats with all these zombies"

celest dome
#

L4D has some map specific enemy look (Clown on the Carnival)

grim breach
#

I'm sure people will get their beastman equivalent to hate eventually

celest dome
#

I don't think we will see something akin to BM in the sense of new Skeleton.
Just reskins of current cast

plush mason
#

literally just more annoying packmasters

grim breach
#

Hook rat except they can keep you disabled after they fuckin' die 💀

plush mason
#

yup

grim breach
#

At least these dont drag you too far I guess

plush mason
#

yeah

#

the one saving grace

grim breach
#

I do find it interesting that we got the VT chaos enemies so early (savages, chaos knights, maulers) and it makes me wonder what else they could add to the enemy pool atm

celest dome
#

For elites ? Shielded human, breakable preferably

grim breach
#

Like held shields right?

sturdy sedge
grim breach
celest dome
#

Kinda like the Marauders in Vt2

storm jungle
celest dome
#

If they were to make new factions imo they should be "Local group turned to Chaos".
Khorne getting Enforcers, so instead of having Snipers they get some Concussion Carbine stuff but those Spawn more often than Scab Snipers.
(And also Dreg haven't got a Sniper either)

rocky gale
#

Noble Slaanesh cult!!!

celest dome
#

Noble would be a strange origin for a "tide", as noble are smaller groups in theory

#

Imo

rocky gale
#

They have servants

plush mason
#

wtf

shadow plover

Not the people who made the game, clickbait article and this has been known to happen for like a year

plush mason

run with a story as soon as they find then go "opps"

Embracer embracer....
That dude company who's been buying game companies and doing shit with em?

plush mason

that was before they damn near went bankrupt yeah

basically they hovered up too much to fast during COVID

storm jungle
#

Damn I was about to laugh

dapper gyro
#

To be honest, still using a Russian dev for game is kind of a security risk.

#

Considering how tight the Russian government is to game companies when they don't follow the government guidelines.

#

Disclaimer: I'm not anti Russian, I'm anti Kremlin.

plush mason
#

yeah every sane person is now a days

dapper gyro
plush mason

oh sane people have always been rare

plush mason

largely due to the rumor they are ending major content for 2 to shift over to 3

In Irish it's Chipir

I call it "youtube clickbait factory island"

Anyone know where I can find all of the Mechanicus dialogue slides without replaying the whole game? Trying to write a big bickering conclave of tech priests trying to decide how to handle a necron threat with inspirations from scaevola and the like since there are radical tech priests present

raven stone
#

You could search YouTube for the game's cutscene compilation

#

Many creators just upload them cutscenes

tough haven
#

There’s like 4 cutscenes in the game

#

Intro, and 3 endings

raven stone
#

...ah

tough haven
#

All the dialogue is done through text interspersed throughout each missions

storm jungle
#

You are gonna get nothing through cutscenes.

#

just watch walkthroughs and look at the text

#

I really doubt anyone has compiled all the texts from the game lol

raven stone
#

This is the most comprehensive list I found so far

tough haven
#

If there is I’m out

raven stone
#

No commentary, going by a comment thanking them doing a silent let’s play

tough haven
#

Sweet

storm jungle
#

why does commentary matter

#

just mute the video, its not voiced aside from robotic sounds

raven stone
#

Some people find extra commentary noisy and, to be fair, some commentators are extra obnoxious

#

Quality varies massively

#

There is a guy who does a XCom2 WOTC Legendary Ironman commentary run, but he is calm and blessed with a naturally smooth and quiet voice. That, alongside him actually using his brain to play the game, makes me like the commentary in that case.

sharp pollen
#

and his game is modded i think

for more difficulty

@storm jungle sorry for the ping, but want to ask again about the ogryns - they are actually everywhere, and their planets are not rare, and females are also there and everywhere, but just not represented, right?

celest dome

Yes

#

Lorewise Ogryn females are everywhere where the males are

#

But never had official arts of them

why are you so confident in this? and why am i so confident in me?

I'm betting Drukhari and GK are gona get early codexes next edition

So they get their refreshes out of the way

the SoS were SO forgotten IRL

#

that this gotten added to their actual lore

#

where the actual Imperium branches abandoned them

arctic talon
#

but yeah he's probably sad about his sisters getting their fucking kneecaps cut off

#

lol

pearl brook
#

I actually have listened and bought a few SoB black library audio shortstories

#

I was not impressed

storm jungle
#

LMAO

pearl brook
#

One had voicework so bad i could have done it better

#

My ears were bleeding after that one

#

Nvm. Misstyped. Not SoS. SoB. But they have the same problem as all the female only factions, as explained above by other people

queen laurel
#

it's not even funny

pearl brook
#

Is it just me, or is the way that battle speech is portrayed detrimental to how readable the dialogue is?

Because i read a sister of silence excerpt once where it was just the sisters inner monologue, at that shit was well written, about a few pages further there was a battle scene in which they used their sign language and the way that was described/portrayed just weirded me out
Am i alone in this or is this something relatable?

#

Oh no it only recoils there because they're scared and trembling Clueless1

arctic talon
#

same reason our guns recoil ingame

#

gamers like recoil

celest dome
dapper gyro
#

No recoil but violent vibration.

#

Otherwise, why multilas/lascannon even have spread.

arctic talon
#

Yeah the damn things do vibrate lol

dapper gyro
#

It is the reason that the SoB is not allowed to use big lasguns.

crystal forum
#

if you believe that lasguns dont have recoil then you probably eat plain chips and you tell children that santa isnt real

storm jungle
#

they have recoil and no recoil as the media on point demands it

#

its like GW insisting lasguns have yellow bolts then cherrypicking artwork where they got it as if it can prove a point lol

crystal forum
#

they're so much cooler with recoil

storm jungle
#

A gun with no recoil is boring yeah

crystal forum
#

otherwise i only imagine those movies where the gun effects are all digital so the actor clearly is faking the gun shaking

arctic talon
#

I'd rather them have recoil

#

personally lol

storm jungle
#

One I hate the most is like

#

"It has rumblers inside the gun to simulate recoil"

#

like...

arctic talon
#

that one is dumb

#

I hate it

#

either just have it have recoil

#

or don't

storm jungle
#

Do you think this is the U.S army or some futuristic shooter setting or something?

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

yeah its like some shit the U.S military would do

#

not a fucking backwards space empire

#

lmao

#

it implies the guardsman feeligns even matter

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

LITERALLY

#

thats the sort of shit you'd do for like

#

training someone to use firearms in the future

#

lmao

crystal forum
#

as a side note, in kingmaker there is a moment where rathe shoots a mounted multilas's power pack and it sends "las energy" everywhere, killing the crew

#

yes i will be talking about kingmaker for the rest of the month

dapper gyro
#

Even SM2 long las has huge "vibration".

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

this is gonna get instantly contradicted in another book

#

stop thinking about it

crystal forum
#

it will

storm jungle
#

🗣️ loreitdepends

crystal forum
#

but it supports my headcannon so i will ignore the others

#

also the book is very coy about automated knight suits

#

i wont spoil anything but they're in there

rocky gale
# sharp pollen

For Drukhari he's only one career change away from having them

crystal forum
#

is there actual lore of dark era knight suits being sentient

#

and the thing that really fucks with me is how knight suits are meant to be colonial tools/weapons but why are they not present outside knight worlds?

#

if every human colony was meant to have knight suits then what happened to them

#

"The original Knight Worlds were founded during the Dark Age of Technology, settled by Humanity in its first great stellar exodus. In an event dubbed the Long March, over the course of decades colonization ships reached their pre-chosen worlds."

per lexicanum

#

this is the reference

storm jungle
#

If its from there its true

#

lexi is extremely harsh at sourcing lol

storm jungle
#

its all in the codexes and other shit

crystal forum
storm jungle
#

yeah

#

hes a good lad

crystal forum
#

so if we go by the theory that they were used during the first era of interstellar colonization, that would mean they fell out of favor later in the dark age

#

i guess thats why more advanced worlds dont have them

queen laurel
# storm jungle hes a good lad

i love the scene with the assassin

|| if you don't help me right now I swear to God I will drop a grenade in this cockpit ||

crystal forum
#

maybe as time went on, humanity didnt need knight suits to do manual labor and war

#

knight suits required human pilots as far as we know, with sparse data that shows they might have even acted semi autonomously

#

therefore what if knights were what humans used before they started using AI robots

#

or perhaps it was an era before STC's were perfected since knights dont appear on other worlds. if STC's were used after knights fell out of favor then that would explain why the information to produce them was not considered important enough to record into new STC's

maybe they're trying to standardize the logo so it looks more like the warhammer one

storm jungle

#

its some corpo reasoning

crystal forum
#

i dont even see them using the GW logo anymore on stuff

#

it's all warhammer

queen laurel
outer wave
#

^

#

I do wonder if its a readability reason?

#

But its not like GW's logo isnt illegible

storm jungle
#

IT MIGHT just be for corporate stuff

#

so the two logos co-exist

queen laurel
young pecan
#

Do you think some rich noble somewhere has poked a power sword while it was lit

crystal forum
#

i genuinely thought that warhammer as a whole was always meant to show that it's directly from the late 80's

#

with the logo and everything

#

since they would have changed the GW logo long ago due to how outdated it is

arctic talon
#

according to the documents when they filed it lol

It should be a Bullcalf rifle

I find it funny and ironic how if you successfully defeated chaos forces, as a normal human soldier, there is a chance the Inquisition send Grey Knights to purge your ass.

#

You literally can't win in the Imperium 😂

storm jungle
#

the grey knights only purge humans that witnessed them

#

the Inquisition's way of purges are way more diverse

#

💀

#

Execution, concentration camps, sterilization, penal legiments, OH BOY

  • Hashut is not an elemental god. He is actually an ascended god, meaning he was once a mortal. He achieved divinity a long time ago. Hashut has the ambition to become an elemental god and be considered a true Chaos God, one of the Great Powers of Chaos. However, his chances of that are much lower than the Great Horned Rat's.

  • There is only one known exception to the Chaos Gods' efforts to destroy all realities. It's the Blood Bowl universe. They show restraint there because if they destroyed that reality, they would be denying themselves the pleasure of watching Blood Bowl matches.
