"IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER"

[nocturne crest]

Wanting to eat the emperor or turn them into paint sounds like a very Slaanesh goal.

[opaque coyote]

"AND NOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT SING THIS STUPID SONG. MY NAME IS EDWIN EDWIN EDWIN EDWIN"

...

Please help me that stupid ass secret of the mimic song is now a vocal stim

[opaque coyote]

We all know that he would somehow turn the paint into gold

Even if it's made via his own corpse

[kind eagle]

I was thinking more of using my ashes as paint more than the Emps

[kind eagle]

True

[late osprey]

Rogue Trader already has a champion of the ecclesiarchy eating someone's brain alive right out of their skull like it's jello.

real classy stuff there

[kind eagle]

I wonder if the Drukhari ever clone themselves and use their old bodies as paint

Just for fun

[opaque coyote]

Probably

But most likely they'd use other people

..

And they would also still be alive somehow

[rose thorn]

Does anyone have that meme that’s like “competitive 40K paint job” and it’s just a model with 3 different colors spray painted on it

[arctic talon]

Doesn’t even apply anymore funnily enough

And didn’t apply in 9e either really bcs tournaments had painting standards

Which was funny

But I know what you’re talking about

[vagrant fox]

for what reason is every wod game dumbass werewolves

[arctic talon]

Werewolves cool

Best WOD book

[vagrant fox]

But I want to play vampire or hunter or demon

[arctic talon]

Should have had a better written splatbook

Jokes aside werewolves is very much the most power fantasy one

So it’s the most popular one for that partially

[vagrant fox]

Demon definitely should have a better splat tbf

I'm just in the wod mood and all I see are endless fields of werewolves I don't really care about

[arctic talon]

I do think werewolf -> Hunter -> vampire in terms of splatbook quality

From best to worst for the top 3

Vampires are extremely interesting but the way it’s written is kind of meh

Hunters are Hunters

Werewolves due to simplicity are the best imo

[vagrant fox]

Maybe I should give it another look, as is it sits next to mage for me purely because of the themery of it

[arctic talon]

imo all the splat books are pretty good

[neat zenith]

so i was going into a rabbit hole and was thinking: the warp in general does weird thing right? So is the God Emperor that gives mankind miricles a manfiestation of their belief? So does the warp create a minor deity in response to how many people worship him? Like the Tau deity? Or is it really a barely sentient corpse emperor blurring the lines between reality and the warp?

[outer wave]

Could be both the Emperor being barely sentient while on the throne and him having a Warp presence

[green loom]

It's left ambiguous

It's entirely possible he sucks up all the worship

But then there's cults that just worship the chaos gods dressed like Imperial cults

Or different religions altogether wrapped up differently

So it's equally as possible that That Dude on Terra is just the BIGGEST imperial entity

[neat zenith]

cause we know there is space in the warp because of warp travel and navigators have to follow it. So the emperor has to be anchored there in warp space. unless hes omnipotent in the warp and can perform miracles from the astromonicon....
I think im just making my brain hurt at this point

[neat zenith]

plot twist death cults make the evil chaos god emperor from the horus heresy

[green loom]

Minimal difference tbh, he'll be horrifying and evil basically regardless lol

[green loom]

The Best way to view warp travel is to see the warp as some soup or a fog, the astronomicon makes it possible for the navigators to perceive where they'll end up and stuff

[sharp pollen]

@crystal forum is this true?

[green loom]

Their perception isn't consistent, like how in Rogue Trader your navigator perceives it as paintings

[neat zenith]

Ya

[crystal forum]

the downside is you have to pay the russian artist through some sketchy russian paypal

[green loom]

Or with crypto

They also might be a horrible racist or transphobe

[sharp pollen]

yeah, that i know...

[outer wave]

This is the best way to view it btw: warp travel is just travelling by sea in any other fantasy setting, and the Emperor is a lighthouse that the navigators can see

[sharp pollen]

we take big commission for that...

[green loom]

Also not comparable, 40 bucks in the east is FAR more spending power than in the west lol

Maybe not in Russia or something ig

[crystal forum]

also that american artist has the early furry art aesthetic so i'm assuming he makes cash from being known

[green loom]

The same 5 furries have been commissioning him for 20 years

[sharp pollen]

[green loom]

They're all various flavours of extremely affluent surgeon so don't mind the price

[steel lagoon]

recently learned Rinda was a closet poet
funniest thing on Tertium

[outer wave]

Shes alot more eloquent than she appears thats for sure

[crystal forum]

i once got a real life commission sketch for a fucking dollar and i tipped a whole dollar extra like that's a lot of money

100% tip

never again will i reach such levels of philanthropy

[green loom]

Iirc the Karnaks are nobles no?

[outer wave]

Yes

They're from noble birth

[green loom]

So not that shocking

[green loom]

My experience in real life has been getting told that I should demand crypto as payment and sell my stuff as NFTs

[steel lagoon]

as we all know, every sword-wielding, energy shield-using, british cannablistic plague Jesus girl, is also a poet

[crystal forum]

balkan moment

[outer wave]

Yeah, nobility does that for ya

[green loom]

Oh I know this one
Lion El Johnson

[outer wave]

The Lion eats people?

I mean, I know he's a primarch and they can eat people

But like he eats people?

[median star]

what

[dapper gyro]

Why do you want or need to know about that?

[green loom]

It's 5 am so I kinda misread the latter parts

But I mean he probably does eat people

Useful energy in a pinch

[queen laurel]

5 am Ed is delirious noted

[green loom]

It's mostly an excuse

[dapper gyro]

So you read that the Lion is a girl?

[green loom]

Give her time smh smh

They all have some innate biomancy so it's not a huge change

[arctic talon]

He used to when he was a kid

The Lion is a savage psychopath pretending to be sophisticated

[outer wave]

Bruhhh

[outer wave]

Idk its interesting I guess

[arctic talon]

not sure why this is surprising imo

He's like consistently shown as an absolute murderous psychopath underneath the surface

in everything

aside from Sons of the forest sorta but you see it

a little

anyways what I'm saying is GW needs to let Lion unwind some more

and by unwind I mean brutally and horrifically kill things

where is my GOAT who slowly tore someones head off on purpose just to make a point

[tough haven]

Any marine can eat people

humans too

[arctic talon]

Black Book Lion is peak

[tough haven]

Imperium nihilus

Pretty sure he's doing a lot of that rn

[arctic talon]

Lion no longer slowly and brutally kills someone in an dual just because he's pissed off lol

I want him to tear a Nightlords head off slowly infront of his entire command squad and honor guard again

and then use the severed head to kill the rest of the command squad

[tough haven]

Robute over here playing stellaris with nids, and lion is playing DOOM

[arctic talon]

Lion is having fun in Nihlus I'm sure

lol

[tough haven]

No mission parameters

just kill

[arctic talon]

but I really don't like how every subsequent depiction of him

after the black books

[tough haven]

Everyone is a target

[arctic talon]

has just made him less uh

unhinged

[tough haven]

Gotta make him more marketable

[arctic talon]

the 2.0 books make him less unhinged

marginally

Son of the forest really makes him less unhinged lol

though its probably meant to be hiding under the surface

[tough haven]

Sons of the forest!?

[arctic talon]

because of how much he enjoys himself while fighting

[tough haven]

The sequel to the critically acclaimed survival game The Forest

[arctic talon]

no not that game

smh

[tough haven]

Damn, thought he had a cameo

[arctic talon]

in any case Lions prolly had the biggest shift from like

his iteration shown in the black books imo

The rest of the primarchs are all about the same lol

[dapper gyro]

Character development?

[arctic talon]

nah

because some of the stuff happens earlier

his whole brutally maiming people to death thing is a consistent part of him when fighting lol

and referring to other people as beasts/animals to be slain

his whole thing is treating his combatants the same way as the chaos corrupted animals on Caliban

which is to say he brutally maims and kills them

I don't think he eats them anymore which is probably a good thing

But Lion before being taken in by the Knights of caliban would eat his kills

lol

Which did include humans

as for why eating chaos tainted flesh didn't corrupt him idfk

ask Alan Bligh

[dapper gyro]

So basically Marvel Kraven?

[arctic talon]

I'm not sure about Kravens character but he didn't keep trophies

regarding Lion

he just kind of killed/scared off anything remotely hostile that entered his territory and ate it

when he was still growing up

he was pretty much an animal

anyways I don't mind the version of Lion that GW has shifted into since its still interesting, mostly because I think they wanted him to be much more of a, IRL knights were mostly dicks, and so is Lion and his Legion/chapter which was always their shtick in 40k

[dapper gyro]

I always have hard time to like the DA.

[timid lodge]

Damn the Grey Knights really do have an "Execute Order 66" now

[crisp heath]

The whole Forrest walk is pretty darn cool

Creates a copy of Caliban forrest in a like pocket dimension and can literally teleport anywhere , iirc this is kinda how it works?

He can also bring people with him can't he?

How does he do this? it kinda seems abit chaos-y mind my heresy

[sharp pollen]

guys explain this lore

[crisp heath]

There more in nz lol

Like 90 -120$

[sharp pollen]

why is a primarch so cheap

and why is he selling himself is he a whore

[crisp heath]

Gw just sees there fans as wallets I stopped supporting there store years ago

I will buy the games but

Never again

Will I do tabletop

Especially considering for 1/4th of the price you can get way better sculpts from other company's

[opaque coyote]

Male sex workers are valued much lower than female.

[sharp pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-spock-logical-agree-yes-gif-3326013

[crystal forum]

how do you know this

[crisp heath]

I think sex workers in general aren't very valued

[crystal forum]

i wouldn't know. i bang for free

[opaque coyote]

Research and "Research".

Also on an unrelated note. The Black Templars Castellan model looks cool

why is his axe attached to him tho

[crisp heath]

That's the guy from the 3rd e rulebook cover

Peak

[opaque coyote]

Black Templars just look cool af tho

[crisp heath]

They really do

[opaque coyote]

Now if only I wouldn't be highlighted as a potential Nazi if I ever bought them

[crisp heath]

I like templars and no I'm not a nazi

[opaque coyote]

Also here is a Canoptek Doomstalker

War of the Worlds looking ahh

[crisp heath]

The new necron kill team box looks good hey

[opaque coyote]

tbf I find it looking cool also

just also reminds me of War of the Worlds

Like that is literally the tripods from there

https://tenor.com/view/war-of-the-worlds-fighting-machine-gif-15165324

Just with a big ass cannon

[crisp heath]

There the faction of necrons who are trying to do the soul thing hey? but they themselves have lost souls so will be forever dissecting or something like this

They hate living creatures or some thing iirc

I'm probably so wrong there lol

[crystal forum]

power axe

or shock axe

thunder axe?

[wet sandal]

Pretty sure theres a banter like this

[arctic talon]

power axe

[dapper gyro]

Extra power

[opaque coyote]

Necromunda

[dapper gyro]

Would be funny to see SoB from Munda.

[sour hornet]

off topic, the davion tomboy mech commander im taking orders from has me feeling a certain type of way, too bad she's a filthy fedrat 🥀 🥀 🥀

[winter vessel]

even from the gif i can still hear the BWAAAAAAA MRRRRRRR. My five year old ass was traumatized for a week

[wet sandal]

i am now interested in the conversation

[plush mason]

so i watched iron within

it just reafirmed my view the Iron Warriors are the best chaos SM legion

[wind zealot]

Why is the unsanctioned psyker speaking.

[sacred ginkgo]

Because she has good dialogue

Why does everyone hate idira

[wet sandal]

i genuinely find it strange that you even have to ask

[coarse pumice]

Do a variant called Warriors of Santiago or something

[plush mason]

the duality of the admech never fails

from epic god machines and unholy cyber body horror to literal stilt legged snipers

[plush mason]

she has a habit of killing the party if you arent careful and is somewhat annoying to some people

[wet sandal]

to be honest i dont even mind that

[sacred ginkgo]

Those extra daemons are just free Xp she’s handing you

[plush mason]

true

unless you have somehow managed to be very underpowered for the fight you are in

so like many issues with companions in these kinds of games the root cause is more than likely player related

[wet sandal]

i started another iconoclast playthrough and i'm trying to include her more in the party but every single line of dialogue she has is so infuriatingly unconstructively abrasive. it's what if jae was the sad kind of alcoholic

on every banter proc i just wish someone else was in her spot

[plush mason]

tbf she has very little reason to not be abrasive

[wet sandal]

and i have very little reason to keep her around as a result

[plush mason]

yup

[wet sandal]

i'm not running a rehab facility for fucks sake

[plush mason]

you kinda are unironically

[wet sandal]

i mean, only if i want to

and i dont

[plush mason]

like half our retinue is freaks outcasts and xenos with traumatic pasts and we help them deal with said problems

but ofc that is just par the course of CRPGs

or any party based RPG video game

[wet sandal]

yeah but they're cool freaks, and don't need fixing in order to be tolerable

[plush mason]

true

in an unrelated note, i am left wondering just how different the situation for the average person on a hive world would be once the Iron Warriors take over

i guess it would depend on what the Iron Warriors decide to use the planet for

[hexed orchid]

Based on "Black Sky, Dead Sun"

Not great

Used as slaves or material for whatever fucked things they where planning

Skin for new warriors, sacrifices for Daemon Engines. That sort of thing

[plush mason]

so only slightly worse than what they where already living in

[hexed orchid]

Toiling for the imperials machine vs daemonic sacrifice doesn't seem "slightly" worse to me

[plush mason]

the end result is the same more often than not, dying a slow and painful death with your soul likely being damned after

[hexed orchid]

We don't know that you actually die when creating a daemon engine.

Though by that measure, is their life that different to our own?

[plush mason]

hell being killed outright as a sacrifice might actually be a quicker death than say falling into the gears of one of a manufatorium's mechines

[coarse pumice]

I found her the most arrogant party member which is a big achievement considering you can get both types of Eldar in your party

[plush mason]

and a space wolf

[sacred ginkgo]

I mean

If she consistently runs top slot as a support caster

She can do whatever the hell she wants

[plush mason]

she is as of now the only real support psyker we have

hopefully one of the new dlcs comps will be a support psyker/caster

[sacred ginkgo]

She’s also stupidly good at it because of that random unlisted habit of always taking first turn

I have no idea when it starts happening but I just know that late game she will always go first

[plush mason]

yeah ether her or the navigator will be going first more often than not

[plush mason]

tbf there is nothing in the fluff saying they would succeed

also the 10k might actually help them given just how much the emperor didnt want to ascend

the terminus decree is just a hailmary contengency plan from the emperor

[median star]

heinrix my goat

fuck idira all my homies hate idira

[plush mason]

he isnt as much of a support focus due to being a warrior

better to buff himself up first and formost

[median star]

he supports me by doing dumby damage and at the same time healing team

i think my end game idk which staff it was but i could use it like 4-6 times in a row on same round each doing like 60-90 dmg ontop of healing

him and kibellah and partially pasqal carried my end game

[tough haven]

If they’re aware of it that is

I find it hilarious this decree isn’t made known to them

Great contingency

Unrelated but when a blood Angel is under the black rage, do they actually see everyone as Horus? Or do they rationalize it to fit the perspective? Like if fighting xenos would they just think he’s in league with xenos now? Or be like “damn there’s no enemy variety, it’s just Horus”

Idk how much is memes/exaggeration and how much is genuine

I don’t remember if we get viewpoints from them

I’m fuzzy on my marine stuff

[rocky gale]

It's full insanity, they believe they are Sanguinius standing on the deck of the Vengeful Spirit facing off against Horus

I think it's rationalised differently in different media, but the one I remember is in one of the animations where the Blood Angel basically see's the largest enemy as Horus and charges to duel it

[wet sandal]

Trvth nuke of immeasurable proportions

[wet sandal]

Trvth nuke x2

[vagrant fox]

Yeah it's full on, they're on Terra or the Vengeful Spirit and gotta get somewhere to fight Horus or they're fighting Horus

variations inbetween

[storm jungle]

I mean ive seen more arrogant imperials in 40k fiction so idk why this is suppose to be a big revelation

[wet sandal]

eldar apologists showed up, quick, into the foxholes everyone

[storm jungle]

Its not wrong tho

"The galaxy belongs to us"

"We are the inheritors"

"Everyone is wrong, we are right"

[median star]

atleast ur not tau then id have to turn you into burger

[storm jungle]

bro you cant even read

your hands are like spaghetti

[plush mason]

again, the space wolves are known for their arrogance and pride even by space marine standards

[median star]

could probably make spaghetti w tau

[storm jungle]

space wolves are like way below the bar

this fandom just has a massive human bias before you kinda remember literally most imperials are like roman-nazi tier assholes

[plush mason]

yeah

[green loom]

Just interact with Ulfar

If you're not a very well researched/travelled loyalist imperial he will HATE your guts

[raven stone]

I confess the weird thing is you need to be in certain moods to branch out to non-human factions

Well, for me at least

[sacred bluff]

Human supremacy>>>

you are a black templar fan?

Iron Hands

this is why you get no rights for opinions

[hexed orchid]

They've accepted their place in the lore.

To take an L at every opportunity.

Except when it's a black crusade, which is a W disguised as an L.

[storm jungle]

that would require someone to put me there, shame iron hands only got like 2 fans

[green loom]

The guy that designed them is pretty chill

[spring cairn]

their space marines are objectively good and betterer

[storm jungle]

Not really, unless you just count memes.

Chaos has been taking Ws for the last 10 years

[queen laurel]

I believe you but I'm talking about a fan that isn't a racist nazi crusader

You would really call the unreasonable guy that tried to argue with us when we're just talking about how the Minecraft movie is not even that bad?

[storm jungle]

they have won like

every single big campaign

[queen laurel]

you're not making yourself look better in the argument i'm gonna be honest

[storm jungle]

to the point that people are complaining

lol

[green loom]

Well they blew up Cadia, killed Metallica, few other planets

[spring cairn]

like the entire band ?

[median star]

listens hes the only other guy i got in this race

[plush mason]

you mean they wherent complaining from the start?

[storm jungle]

Well yes but still lol

[green loom]

Stole Caliban, destroyed Fleet Tertius? I forgor which one

[storm jungle]

like an entire indomitus fleet yeah

shoot to thrill ahhh moment

[queen laurel]

dude when is 40k chaos actually willing to taste some dirt on their mouth because like every time they ******* win

please i'm begging you GW kick them in the teeth a little bit

[median star]

mortarion took a slight knee cap recently

[storm jungle]

thats pretty much whats gonna happen

they are gonna lose Nachmund likely

they had 3 Ws in a row lol

[green loom]

The Imperials usually eat dirt and lose since they're incompetent Nazis it's just framed as heroic so doesn't read that way

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

[queen laurel]

at least AOS had the decency to throw around other bad factions so that they could have multiple events that isn't just chaos

I'm just tired of 40K having oh look the main event for this edition again is chaos is gonna win

i swear to god if they don't suffer a significant set back I am eating a chair

[green loom]

Imperials POV

[median star]

they going to have to have a great crusade pt2 for nilhus

[storm jungle]

Nah

[paper haven]

They need it

[storm jungle]

the Imperium can barely muster a force

lmao

[paper haven]

So it probably won't happen

[green loom]

Well they can but it's herding cats, same issue as abaddon

[queen laurel]

I'm sure gilliman can do some magic to pull something out of his ass

[storm jungle]

^

[wet sandal]

Tbh I'm often mad at how gw writers potray eldari, because how could you not want to kill them after meeting one. Like I'm with the black templars on this one, and I don't want to be

[storm jungle]

Because they are communicating with literal gorilla space nazis

[median star]

well have glorious totally not ferrus and legion of the damn handle it ez chaos banished till next edition

[storm jungle]

idk why people expect them to treat people that would entirely murder them with any respect

[green loom]

Guilliman can keep a fleet nice and functional what with having literally divine right to rule by imperial standards, not counting his existing crazy logistical and management prowess
Everyone else? Ehhhhhhh maybe not so competent

[storm jungle]

"Omg why are the aliens so mean to the people that murder their way across the entire galaxy"

jeez I dont know

why is my country who constantly gets bombed mad at the country that shoots missiles at them

truly a conundrum

[green loom]

In fairness GW writers also suck at writing antagonists atp

[storm jungle]

Nah they do

but theres like other reasons to this as well lol

people also forget even when eldar meet imperials under normal circumstances the imperials still fuck it up or dont listen and then just go "YOU DIDNT TELL US"

[paper haven]

I'm sure Guilliman will eventually sort things out, he's just gotta do catch up on ten thousand years of bureaucratic hell

[green loom]

Yeah tbf, it's not like it's THAT much of a choice
Like that last time they teamed up with the Imperium on Vigilus the Cadians turned on them and started a 3 way civil war

[storm jungle]

^

this take basically always comes from people that barely read most of the lore or like form a POV on both sides of the conflict

its like asking "Why dont Iran and America just get along?"

lmao

[paper haven]

You Cadians are a contentious bunch

[storm jungle]

Yeah that too

Imps can barely get along with eachother

[storm jungle]

they blow up when a protagonist needs to look good

and they raid when they need to look good

same rule for the last 30 years

[rocky gale]

Sure we're having a great time, but we need a big win to fuck everyone else over

[paper haven]

But that would progress the world state

Can't have that

[rocky gale]

Hype up the big new fight on Armageddon, have millions of Chaos, Imperium and Orks all fight over it and then let us fire a Black Hole at it

[paper haven]

Alright, I'll vote for it.

but unrepenting stupidity and xenophobia is fun in literature which is why the imperials are the good guys ☝️ 🤓

If we could get a warhams crime novel by Joe Abercrombie it'd be the shit

we need 40k noire in a dingy hive city

no i won't read it

[vagrant fox]

I volunteer to read any mundane slice of life 40k stuff 🫡

[spring cairn]

we need more people like you so they have an incentive to develop the actually important stuff

like the day to day life of Garvice the factory floor cleaner

[median star]

@solid valley you like to yap about that one crime book right

[solid valley]

the entire warhammer crime series is kind of peak

[solid valley]

need more of sweaty naked enforcers in the shower room
and middle age overweight dads eating protein bars and drinking coffee while watching their TV that doesnt work too good

[tough haven]

Give me a significant Ork W for next edition

[solid valley]

something i really liked about those books was alot of people assumed the fall of cadia was a myth

cause they had only heard it in passing from guards on leave

[tough haven]

I like iron hands because of just how much they bastardized their primarchs will

Also I love Mechanicus so if I HAVE to like a chapter, ig it’s these guys

[radiant lance]

What if we all just stopped fighting?

War is bad, so we should stop doing it

[storm jungle]

Hmm

https://tenor.com/view/lionel-hutz-world-peace-rainbow-multicultural-day-dream-gif-20417641

[hexed orchid]

I would be worried if we stopped fighting

Would likely mean something real bad would have happened

[vagrant fox]

replaced war with ping pong

horrid

[rocky gale]

All make peace and have a yearly Battle Royale with a single champion from each faction, whoever wins gets to be incharge for the year.

[paper haven]

Think of the poor Raytheon shareholders

[paper haven]

I recommend a warrior class made out of the first born children of politicians who will fight in groups of ten to twenty as champions in the thunder dome.

[celest dome]

How about we make also have a Politicians survival island scenario ?

Cause sending their own kids won't really bother the Politicians

[languid meadow]

Just another Nazino?

[queen laurel]

also put this in the island

[steel lagoon]

I HATE THE TERMINUS DECREE

genuinely pissed me off when i heard about it

[vagrant fox]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/648179640506122250/1400498046068068525/Splendidhardtofindburdensome_f57b08_12639480.jpg?ex=688cdaf2&is=688b8972&hm=cb3f4dc8f37125841ab0d91328ab243e212fdab14636df7efb4f41cf7ea7896b&

[celest dome]

Wasn't the Terminus Decree by Mal though ?

[hexed orchid]

The Terminus Decree is a fake

Trazyn stole the real one ages ago

[vagrant fox]

I don't remember, I'm a bit indifferent to the whole thing

[rocky gale]

I think it's cool, just weird to reveal it so casually in the side section of a codex though

[celest dome]

Ye, should have been something saved for a whole book

[rocky gale]

Yea it feels like a reveal for a campaign book or something

[queen laurel]

In the 1st place it's a very weird command

If this is what it is truly then

[celest dome]

Have an Inquisitor try to uncover what it is, and on finding out, try to decree the GK heretics and get bodied

[queen laurel]

The emperor just really wants to die

if he comes back in any way shape or form as alive he expects his special soldiers to put him down

[steel lagoon]

the only way this makes sense is if its an easy way to bait the GK into getting slaughtered by the Ten Thousand

[celest dome]

Aren't GK just a Malcador project ?

[steel lagoon]

as a way to clean them up

[rocky gale]

I think it implies that the Emperor knew that 10k years on the chair would turn him into something else and he wants his soldiers to stop that happening.

[steel lagoon]

correct

like the inquisition

unlike the inquisition, the GK haven't warped as much over the millenia

[queen laurel]

Apparently the emperor saw something terrible and decided to make them

Apparently he foresaw the fact that the heresy would do a little funny and decided to make them in advance just in case

[rocky gale]

So it's inline with the idea that the threat he saw was himself or what he would turn into

[celest dome]

So the overarching plan was of the Emperor's, but GK specifically are not

[rocky gale]

and the Custodes would probably be split on the issue, between defending their Emperor and following an official decree from him

[queen laurel]

They are very loyal though so loyal in fact they follow his orders no issue so I think they will follow the decree well most of them

[steel lagoon]

sigh
why does every new bit of lore have to be of this vein

why can't we have fun little tidbits?!

why can't we just learn "oh, the blood ravens rescued the.. whatever other chapter from bad fate" or something nice
most things these days is like the terminus decree

[rocky gale]

Yea it would have been much better served as a plot point in an end of edition campaign book, where like a certain faction was trying to expose this decree or whatever and GK had to fight to stop them or ended up having to purge a group of allies who'd learned it etc.

[storm jungle]

I legit do not understand why people are mad about it

its another footnote codex entry that will never come to fruition

[queen laurel]

i think that's the reason why

the decree has been this big mystery

Many people are wanting to find out about and it's just casually revealed like this

So they were expecting some big fireworks or some grand adventure to reveal it

[storm jungle]

Yeah im gonna be honest mate i got bigger things to be mad about in life than a piece of codex text

[steel lagoon]

It's been this big mystery that was revealed to be something stopping what a ton of people want

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

As a person that was around when the first GK codex released i still think its a big nothing tbh

[queen laurel]

i mean i'm also indifferent about it but I can't understand where people's frustration comes from

[steel lagoon]

like, i have seen SO many people speculating that big e is going to become some kind of uber powerful warp entity and actually do something, but now he's gonna he strapped back into the goddamn chair

[forest orbit]

Are there other examples like this? I cant think of any

[storm jungle]

I mean no he wont

idk why people think anything is gonna come out of this

lol

[outer wave]

He was always strapped there and that won't change, especially when he has to keep the Astronomicon working

[rocky gale]

The setting is entierely dependent on him being sat on the chair

[storm jungle]

Kind of.

[rocky gale]

Him not being in the chair is basically 40k Endtimes

[storm jungle]

He can rise up to be a warp god and they can just write something like "now that he has a presence in the warp his uber-anime powers can keep the astronomicon running forever".

40k is never gonna end

[languid meadow]

Nothing ever happens - Chuddah

[storm jungle]

writers will always find excuses

this is a fact

[vagrant fox]

Who knows, I think it was better as a mystery but it's very whatever

[storm jungle]

Pretty much.

Again, a piece of side boxtext.

[outer wave]

His ass is still glued in his warp god form

[storm jungle]

Yeah but nothing is stopping it

yall really need to realise 40k runs on excuses

you can just about write anything to explain/change the status-quo

[steel lagoon]

maybe my light frustration is making me misremember. it usually does

[storm jungle]

back in my day people said "nothing ever happens" and the galaxy split in half

[steel lagoon]

yeahhh you're right

[outer wave]

I wouldn't expect any huge plot movement until like

Maybe 10th edition and end times for 40k

[storm jungle]

Yeah not until like 10 or 20 more IRL years

[outer wave]

The latter is probably never happening

[storm jungle]

and even then the setting would still be here

Again; the lore doesnt matter. The miniatures + peoples reason for playing them do.

[rocky gale]

Can't wait for 18th edition, Warhammer 40k Endtimes

[vagrant fox]

Mephiston just casually projects a mini astronomican in Nihilus, empowered E can do what he wants if it comes to that

[storm jungle]

See what I mean

[outer wave]

4 editions later, the end times are still going

[vagrant fox]

Mephiston is the funniest fucking guy

[storm jungle]

hes my favorite gary stu

[languid meadow]

I still pray for a second major civil war where the imperium is split up and shit but that will never happen.

[storm jungle]

Same, it would actually make the setting more interesting

[rocky gale]

21st edition Warhammer: Age of Sangiunius.

[storm jungle]

give me Imperial remnants pls

[outer wave]

The worst balkization incident to happen

[languid meadow]

it would be peak

[storm jungle]

the best part is like

it would be the best case of:

"Decide who your imperial remnants serve to"

[outer wave]

I'd get behind that so hard ngl

[storm jungle]

you can just be a breakaway post-age of strife-esque civilization or just keep being imperial lapdogs

[storm jungle]

its literally just the holy roman empire

its basically the Imperium's eventual fate as well

[rocky gale]

Warlord era Imperium lets goooo

[storm jungle]

its not even unified as it is rn either

[languid meadow]

Saw the most vanilla opinion but I do like the thought that if The Khan came back he would be the one to start something like that but what do I know I'm not a white scar fan

[vagrant fox]

If only, the primarchs should run off to Nihilus and play warlords

[rocky gale]

Need my 40k version of Zhang Zongchang

[storm jungle]

Its entirely possible. The Imperium can easily crush seceding elements right now (well roughly) because its still "united", the moment almost 90% of it breaks off you can kinda make that impossible.

also again the core idea is "we still need people to be able to run their armies"

so it fits perfectly

[outer wave]

Yeah but I dont think the technological gap was as strong as being literal planets away nor was the culture

[storm jungle]

I meant more concept wise

humans are fickle, everybody wants to rule, etc

its why almost every week even now imperial systems/governors go rogue

[rocky gale]

We could bring them backkk

[storm jungle]

the cope is real

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

PLEASE

[storm jungle]

ngl the best part is like

they could do a Cities of Sigmar thing

where they actually ENCOURAGE you to make shit like Severan Dominate

but thats too fun so prob never happening

[languid meadow]

40k fans don't deserve that

[storm jungle]

Exactly

[languid meadow]

that's why AoS gets better models and shit since their fans aren't as loud and annoying

[storm jungle]

LMAO

true

[outer wave]

Gotta keep up the grimdarkness of the franchise by never doing anything for the fans

[storm jungle]

my favorite part of the fandom fr

[celest dome]

AoS deserve so much and need just as much in term of video games

[languid meadow]

Maybe we'll get an AoS TW

[celest dome]

While I would love to see more fantasy (not Sci-fi) Total wars, I feel it would be too early for AoS

[languid meadow]

I just hope that the next fantastical TW isn't something like Troy again

[celest dome]

Right after the Battle Fantasy trilogy

[languid meadow]

I didn't really fw it

[celest dome]

Troy was trying to please both fantasy (new players) and historical (old players)

[languid meadow]

My ideal historical TW would be something in the 1840s - 70s such an interesting time that is not touched a lot in games.

[celest dome]

Imo the 3 fantasy TW games I would see happening next:

• Grand Mythology: Pantheon as races, individual Gods as Legendary Lords and Hero
• Game of Thrones: Tbh if it doesn't happen in the next 2/3 years I don't think it'll happen at all
• Lord of the Ring: Like GoT would be somewhat less fantastical, could be done by focusing more on Duels and diplomacy

[languid meadow]

real ASOIAF game would be awesome

[celest dome]

Honestly an Rpg game set in AoS would be so class, not necessarily like BG3, but more akin to Wasteland 3 or Divinity OS

Or a Souls like

[arctic talon]

I want a CRPG in AoS

just use soulbound

[languid meadow]

Oh wait yeah we're getting a GoT RTS

idk if it'll be good but

[rocky gale]

We've had a lot of GoT games, fewer good ones

[mossy peak]

what’s the literacy rate in the imperium

[languid meadow]

wonder if all of rogue traders announced dlc will be out by time of dark heresy

[arctic talon]

imo no

the trazyn one is honestly very w/e for me

I cannot belive I actually got what I wanted

from the DLC

with Procession of the damned

[celest dome]

What do you think the character will be for the 2 future dlc ?
Calidus for the Trazyn on I guess

[languid meadow]

I hope COGG is done better than Ulfar gameplay wise

[arctic talon]

They’re explicitly not happy with how size was designed in RT

[arctic talon]

Wildcard for trazyn dlc, Processional is either an Ork of some variation or some sort of human salvager/explorer

[mossy peak]

whats dark heresy

[sour hornet]

Forreal lmao

[arctic talon]

An inqusition TTRPG, Owlcat is making a CRPG for it

[sour hornet]

Idira is so peak

I love her and Jae

[mossy peak]

i missed jae and hate using idira

[vagrant fox]

they better fix the size thing before they make black crusade which they 100% will do

[arctic talon]

I like all the companions in RT lol

[sour hornet]

^

[arctic talon]

Oh btw

[sour hornet]

I only get rid of them for lore reasons

[arctic talon]

We can see the size system is kinda reworked already

The Acursed cultist is a 3 by 3

[celest dome]

I like that Argenta is not a standard Sister of Battle

[sour hornet]

like Heinrix and Argenta had to die

[arctic talon]

And so is the krootox

COG is only a 2 by 2

Seemingly

[celest dome]

I want some Pronatus Sister in DT

[sour hornet]

because they were in the way of heresy profit, but i still love them

[arctic talon]

So I’d assume the maps are bigger

In terms of raw tiles

But you still move the same amount proportionally

[sour hornet]

Dark Heresy

[arctic talon]

Zerbe is gona kill us/j

[sour hornet]

If were picking Ordos, I gotta pick the coolest one

Malleus

[arctic talon]

Zerbe is hereticus and were seemingly his underling

So I think hereticus is most likely

[vagrant fox]

All of the RT companions were pretty fun on my last playthrough, builds aside

[sour hornet]

You do not have to follow your masters Ordo

[arctic talon]

It could be picked

By us

But

In any case it’ll be funny

[sour hornet]

Also I dont think it will matter much

your Ordo comes second

and youre an Inquisitor first

and as you said

Zerbe is hereticus

[arctic talon]

We’re likely an acolyte and then get promoted by Zerbe

Is my bet tbh

[sour hornet]

stop using this fucking emote 🥀 🥀 🥀

[arctic talon]

Why smh

Give me a reason

[sour hornet]

I dont like its vibes

Spawned by a most wicked woman, her art is truly beautiful horrific

[arctic talon]

[arctic talon]

Yes

I have far worse emotes

which ones the marines or actual Bull Minotaurs

[mossy peak]

what did he do

[sour hornet]

all allow the other two if you keep that fucking thing away from me

[languid meadow]

the marines

[storm jungle]

be a space marine

Ain't that that Arch dumbass ?

But him using the N word like 30+ times in a single video about hob grots

Lives rent free in my head

man he is such a cunt

[mossy peak]

did ferrus manus get his name before or after getting his iron hands

Feel like a lot of 40K tubers have been recoded by Elon mist lately

[opaque coyote]

Nurgle's new virus

Elon Mist

[rose thorn]

Lmao

Whoops

[rose thorn]

Elon Musk*

[opaque coyote]

The newest from his cauldron

Elon Mist rewrites your mind to be similar to Elon Musk

[rose thorn]

Alot more “Warhammer (40k) is dead” posters and it’s fucking annoying

[opaque coyote]

Although I can't help but wonder whether Nurgle mfs are like

[rose thorn]

Every time people say that GW saying the imperium are facists kills 40K I hope 40K dies

[opaque coyote]

"Bro look, new virus dropped!"

"Holy shit no way bro, directly from Nurgle's cauldron??"

[rose thorn]

One guy I saw people glaze alot made 3 videos (one of which uses ai art) saying that GW is ruining Warhammer and put stormcasts on the thumbnail

[opaque coyote]

Click bait videos are made by Nurgle daemons

[jade holly]

We all act like we’re imperium of man, truth is we’re all Nurgles Nurgling it up in the wastes we call social media

[rose thorn]

And then the last video is ‘TTS was right about the future of warhammer’

It’s so shitty

I hate people like that who prop up alfabusa as if hes siding with them in any manner.

The guy has more queer people in his crew than they probably even know

[opaque coyote]

Didn't bro literally make fun of those type of people

[storm jungle]

HE DID

[rose thorn]

“GW KILLED TTS!” My guy they made it obvious they were sick of the series

[storm jungle]

Also like, his hiatus video literally said "PLEASE do not go lashing out/attacking anyone because of this, especially GW"

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[opaque coyote]

Tbh they have stated that they were still interested. Just not willing to risk it

[paper haven]

Don't attack GW = ---- attack GW

[opaque coyote]

Y'know

Because kid

[rose thorn]

They said that for the sake of saying that :p

[storm jungle]

Yeah that

its kinda clear they are way more passionate about Hunter

[rose thorn]

Fr

[opaque coyote]

True but I do think it is genuine.

At least the genuine desire to finally put a bow on it.

[paper haven]

I'm sad for the loss of TTS but he was absolutely correct to be worried

[opaque coyote]

A proper bow

[rose thorn]

It has turned out so so many episodes already lmao

It’s kinda nutty

Like, what 3 series?

[opaque coyote]

GW going after people who dare cosplay their favorite space marine

[rose thorn]

The YouTube series, radio series, and i think they ahve a web sieges

[opaque coyote]

Tbf if I probably would make the same decision due to how fucking rabid GW is at times

[jade holly]

Jokes on them I naturally look like Nurgle

[opaque coyote]

I do not want that uncertainty over them

[paper haven]

Hunter the parenting is extremely well done and they won't get sued over it

[languid meadow]

I'm so glad they're doing HTP since it sheds light on WoD which needs the boost so fucking badly man, why do we keep getting fucked on so much 😭

[opaque coyote]

I think it's debatable whether they were looking for an excuse to get out of TTS or not.

But either way, GW's rabid behavior at times would definitely be dangerous to continue without putting a risk on your livelihood

[rose thorn]

There has been a lot more AOS YouTubers recently, I hope one item blows up soon

They are all really high quality

(As high quality as a slideshow can be)

i have no idea what you're talking about, my pfp is a selfie i took yesterday

You should get that checked out you look like tomato sauce decided to become sapient

[grim breach]

I thought it was because they literally got retconned from reality

[celest dome]

Say the sentient mushroom

[arctic talon]

Nah they’re canon still

lol

Unfortunately

[grim breach]

oh did they come back?

[celest dome]

Not even the worst lore tbh

[arctic talon]

Though they may have been retcon’d in the hunter the parenting lore

Bcs it is its own interpretation

Of WOD

[arctic talon]

Oh def not

[grim breach]

No I'm asking if they came back in WoD lore

[queen laurel]

Oh you don't get to say that to me you cactus

[storm jungle]

Its uhhh relaly messy so im not the best expert at it

[arctic talon]

Oh Kuei Jin? Yes

[grim breach]

that would be the source of the joke then

[arctic talon]

They’re around in modern WoD

Still

They could make them less uh

Goofy

If they wanted

[storm jungle]

yeah Kuei Jin are like... the peak form of what a white guys' idea of asian culture is

[grim breach]

at one point they were basically retconned

[storm jungle]

their depiction like a lot of things in WoD back in the day was also very offensive

like since 2020 there's been less and less mention of the kue jin and a ton of soft retcons that remove them from existence

[arctic talon]

Beyond some kind of racist/offensive stuff that’s mostly the authors not knowing any better

[grim breach]

like tokyo is a camarilla city now

[arctic talon]

Tbh just tear then bandaid off

At this point lol

[grim breach]

[celest dome]

The current theme of the Kuei Jin lean more on Jakuza movies than the older one no ?

[arctic talon]

I don’t think anyone is super in love with Kuei Jin

[grim breach]

whats jakuza

[languid meadow]

Yakuza 😭

[queen laurel]

You mean yakuza?

[celest dome]

Potato potato

[grim breach]

no how is Y even

what

[celest dome]

Might be French spelling or what ever

[arctic talon]

Def not

The Kuei Jin are still very much like

Chinese adjacent

What someone thinks Chinese triads operate like

[storm jungle]

jaquzi mafia

[queen laurel]

Everytime someone mentions chinese triads my brain goes to sleeping dogs

[storm jungle]

im glad im not alone

D O G E Y E S

[queen laurel]

Man i love listening to english speaking chinese as i beat their bones to dust

[rose thorn]

Look how much black temples and grey knights they sent my LGS

[arctic talon]

Huh

Pretty small amount

[rose thorn]

All 2 people I know have black Templars at my LGS

[arctic talon]

Does your LGS do online ordering

[rose thorn]

Thsi is alot more than they usually get

[arctic talon]

Also tbf some people buy stuff without like

[rose thorn]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

Playing at the LGS

Yeah it’s prolly for online stock

[rose thorn]

Good point

[arctic talon]

Is my bet

[arctic talon]

@queen laurel monster hunter stories 3 announced btw

[opaque coyote]

I feel like John Marston watching the freedom of the Old West die before his eyes.

[outer wave]

Time to use Youtube and Spotify alternatives

[celest dome]

Time to commit identity theft

[stiff goblet]

Is nurgle the strongest chaos god?

[storm jungle]

Flows and ebbs.

so no

[vagrant fox]

it's 100% khorne always and forever wooo

[opaque coyote]

Once or twice, never permanently.

It is a game.

And they never want somebody to win.

Otherwise it would end.

And it's no fun when a game ends.

[celest dome]

The strongest is Nuffle

[opaque coyote]

Clearly.

[celest dome]

There is more than 1 game going on

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, again, I still have the idea of a comedy where the Chaos Gods are framed like a bunch of college roommates.

Nuffle, Gork, and Mork are the local jocks.

Gork and Mork always do play fighting and rough around. They're rather stinky.

Somebody once joked that they have spores growing on them due to how everlasting their BO was.

Gork and Mork decided to add that into their games for shits and giggles.

[stiff goblet]

Based on nurgles method of spreading chaos/contagion, it would be easy to assume his cult spreads the fastest

That or tzeentch secretly has it all figured out

[storm jungle]

As ever

theres no "default" basis for how fast any chaos cult spreads

[paper haven]

Default is everyone is already a cultist

[gaunt lily]

the only god you need to think about is the Emperor... the 4 armed one

[storm jungle]

[gaunt lily]

[paper haven]

Hold up

Those awkward moments when Gene stealer cults infect a hive world already festering with slaaneshi pleasure cults

[opaque coyote]

Chaos is more about concepts.

Disease is merely one part of Nurgle's domain.

Every action of violence also fuels say... Khorne.

[paper haven]

Depression is another

[opaque coyote]

You punch somebody? Fueling Khorne.

Or excess for Slaanesh?

Had a bit too much food? Your stomach is stuffed?

Fueling Slaanesh.

Etc. etc.

[spare osprey]

Who gets sleeping you think

[paper haven]

Tzeentch

Dreams

[opaque coyote]

It also constantly contradicts each other. Khorne and Slaanesh often get into slap fights for champions.

Because while Khorne is all about slaughter and blood.
Slaanesh is all about martial prowess and perfection.

[paper haven]

Yes, fight for MY favor

[opaque coyote]

It's well..

Chaotic

[stiff goblet]

That’s a fair assessment

[opaque coyote]

So basically it constantly shifts.

[paper haven]

Did we ever get confirmation on the Emperor being a chaos God?

Or an. Order God?

[outer wave]

Oh yeah I have

[opaque coyote]

The Chaos Gods technically don't really follow time either.

Slaanesh was technically born when the Eldar decided to sniff too much cocaine.

But they also technically existed before that... and after... and inbetween.

The only constant is that they all really love fighting each other.

[paper haven]

Time is an odious concept they don't respect it

[arctic talon]

He's to ascend into one eventually

and has at some point done so

due to daemons of him existing

Like MR The end and the death himself

SAMUS

who used to be khornate

[opaque coyote]

Isn't the Terminus Decree rn basically

[arctic talon]

but then got retcon'd into that

[opaque coyote]

"fucking kill me if I rise up again"

[paper haven]

Awesome, eye of terror two coming right up

[arctic talon]

its to put him back on the throne or stop his ascension into something worse

As for the domain The Dark King represents

its Encroaching Ruin
