Anyway I may be able to flame nids in vr

#

Does 40k exist in that universe lol

opaque coyote
#

Idk

#

I guess it depends on how many adjectives of "War" and "Hammer" you can make

#

I also find it funny how

Warhammer refers to Sigmar and his hammer

#

But for 40k, it's basically meaningless

#

i dont usually say this but this is a dumb question

please shun yourself into a corner for 30 minutes

Why...

opaque coyote
#

reading some "unaware" psyker's mind as they foolishly try to connect to you

#

...

#

only to get this photo beamed to all of your consciousnesses

outer wave
#

Imagine the Norn Queen getting some Guiliman buns like that

opaque coyote
sharp pollen
#

ah, i finished the rest of the text

#

true lore

opaque coyote
#

Oh yeah and also

#

Another 40k sitcom idea

#

It's Guilliman trying to deal with a problem in the Imperium

sharp pollen
#

is ordo chronos even a real thing

opaque coyote
#

Yesn't.

sharp pollen
#

cause making things up just for the meme is bad

opaque coyote
#

Basically they did exist

They disappeared

But now they pop in and out

sharp pollen
#

i mean huge things

opaque coyote
#

It is quite literally unknown whether they actually do exist or not

#

And also yes, there is a civil war about the date

opaque coyote
# sharp pollen i mean huge things

Basically it's called the Chronostrife.

Guilliman tried to make a new dating system for the Imperium so that everything could be consistent

#

This caused a civil war within the Ordo Chronos that's apparently still ongoing

sharp pollen
#

so the E didnt even make a big watch just to count time

#

dumbass

opaque coyote
#

Well he did.

Unfortunately after he fucking died, things got out of hand.

#

Apparently living in different systems makes time a complicated topic

#

So some people legit think it's still like

The 39th millennium

sharp pollen
#

would you kindly stop using these big ass

gaps

its annoying

and hurts eyes

opaque coyote
#

n

o

sharp pollen
#

eat ass

opaque coyote
#

Jk I'll try my best to not have gaps

sharp pollen
#

unwashed

#

ok now washed

#

i guess this chrono stuff is just for the writers

opaque coyote
#

Also it doesn't help that warp travel can be rather inconsistent at times. You can (rarely) travel backwards in time by accident, or arrive years in the future.

#

This all makes time rather confusing, and is the entire reason why the Ordos Chronos exists.

plush mason
#

its the stated reason for ordo chrono to exist in fact, because some of these talking time paradoxes could mess shit up if the inquisition isnt careful

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

no one knows

#

they have fucked with the timeline so much they both made themselves all powerful and non existent

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I think they literally disappear for millenia and then just suddenly reappear.

plush mason
#

and the one that reappeared might not even be the same one iirc

#

its confusing

opaque coyote
#

Also one Ordos Chronos Inquistor literally is an old man that wants to steal his younger body

#

And use it for himself.

plush mason
#

there is also that one interrogator they left behind that has been using a ship to try and travel back before he got left, and has killed his other selves uncountable times in the process

opaque coyote
#

I imagine some Ordo Chronos Inquistor tried to travel back to prevent the Emperor from being

Throne'd.

But I doubt the Chaos Gods would allow that.

#

Especially since they don't care about time.

#

The Imperium be like, “We’re protecting humanity”, while having the most human kill count will never not be funny.

opaque coyote
#

RIP Interex

opaque coyote
#

It isn't that the Imperium is the last hope by default

#

It's that the Imperium murdered any other avenues for humanity to thrive

#

Tripped on itself

#

And now it is the last hope because every other option was killed by them. And it's also constantly tripping on its own face.

#

And it will remain the last hope no matter what

#

Tbf some of the civilizations were somehow worse than the Imperium

#

But some were definitely better

median star
#

it woulve always devolved into an endgame of chaos,orks, probably tyranids ontop of necrons either way and even with the cohesion the imperium somewhat has now things are not going great

wet sandal
opaque coyote
#

So I found a meme that is

Circle jerky but still funny to me

#

So

#

Also Draco technically counts even though he technically isn't canon

I think it depends on how they want to do them

limpid granite

Deathwatch uses necron technology

since they learned from Ulfar

So they are tolerant of xenos

They'll use xenos tech but mostly to kill xenos with

Field procurement

queen laurel

Their entire existence is trained on xenos hunting after all

So it's very hard to get along on the thing you're trained to kill

It would be a cool thing if you needed to pass speech checks to make certain companions work together

Welcome back Lyndon B. Johnson

celest dome
#

I'll be honest, any setting that has Dwarfs offended over being called short is somewhat dumb

#

"I'm not short, you're tall, your tallness just make you ill suited for the mines and easier for the knife ears to shoot you"

storm jungle
#

tbh it kinda works to show the fragile personality lol

rocky gale
#

Votann release was peak, Kharadon release was pretty good, Chorf release is peak. Now if the rumours about Cities of Sigmar getting a Duardin release wave is true then it truly will be the year of the Dwarf

LotR Dwarf release 🙏

Good they need it

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

They are more likely to get ported to Old World like the Beastmen did

queen laurel
#

I might like Barbarians but their barbarian look is quite outdated

rose thorn
rocky gale
#

Hmmm

rose thorn
#

They didn’t want to put them in old world for some reason

#

It’s so fucking funny

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Maybe next edition AOS they will get a new identity

celest dome
#

iirc there were some problems back when BF was still going about the Savage Orcs being meant to be African tribal armies, might be why they're hesitating on bringing those back

queen laurel
rose thorn
queen laurel
#

well

#

that is certainly

#

A choice

rose thorn
#

Aren’t the black orcs also just a bunch of bandits or something

#

That’s how I heard them last described

celest dome
#

Black Orcs are modified Iron orcs that the Chaos Dwarf created, and used as slaves and warrior armies.

#

But they rebelled and now are fighting for their own side

queen laurel
#

yeah they were basically a result of experimentation of the chaos dwarves

queen laurel
#

certainly a choice

rose thorn
#

LMAO

queen laurel
#

I am genuinely surprised they didn't bring the savage orcs back

#

If they can bring back something like that

celest dome
#

I wonder if it's not just a difference of one being in lore (so isn't as visible at a cursory glance), and the other being art+minis

queen laurel
#

95% sure

#

savage orcs are not mentioned in the arcane journal

opaque coyote
winged jacinth
queen laurel
#

hey i love the way they look but you know you have to point out the obvious

winged jacinth
#

Yeah honestly the tolkien orcs are even more problematic?

#

Like they're made via the evil corruption of (white, afaik) elves

storm jungle
#

tbh he never meant it in that context

#

black/darkness is something humans are afraid of as a visual thing ala shadows and whatnot

winged jacinth
#

Yeah it was so long ago he likely did not consider it

storm jungle
#

Yeah this sort of stuff is what he kinda had in mind

queen laurel
winged jacinth
#

And also he was prone to not noticing his own subtexts like when frodo and sam have to cross the area that is DEFINITELY NOT inspired by the WWI trench combat he saw

#

Only tons of dead soldiers rotting in the mud etc

celest dome
#

Wasn't it somewhat part of the point though ?

winged jacinth
#

LOTR has a very literal form of the light=good thing

rocky gale
#

Tolkien didn't intend a lot of things with his characterisations of the orcs, but he later acknowledged that there were problematic aspects and talked about having regrets in how he wrote the orcs.

storm jungle
#

^

celest dome
#

Mordor+Isengard being basically the vice of the Great war

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

he just never really got around to fixing it due to age and stuff

celest dome
storm jungle
#

to be fair

#

authors/creators always sometimes deny outright connection while its obviously portraying something you think it is

queen laurel
winged jacinth
#

there definitely was a connection he just refused to acknowledge it

storm jungle
#

^

winged jacinth
#

probably because he didnt want to think about it

storm jungle
#

its like the new Superman movie with Boravia/Jarhanpur

winged jacinth
#

if i had been in the trenches of the great war i'd probably also try to not think about it

storm jungle
#

yeah that too lol

rocky gale
#

Like he talked about how the orcs being inherently evil or being incapable of good because of how they were made goes against the nature of the world he created.

storm jungle
#

I do like how as bad as the Rings of Power is they try to humanize the orcs and everyone got mad about it

#

kinda says a lot imo

winged jacinth
#

the orcs were intentional modifications to be the way they are

#

kinda like 40k orks in that way lol

storm jungle
#

lol yeah

#

40k orks got a lot more humble beginnings in comparison and are a lot more one-dimensional morally

#

also just physically CANNOT stop being evil

arctic talon
#

40k orks are just

#

Bri’ish

winged jacinth
#

we're getting into the silmarilion weeds but orcs were created by melkor as a perversion of elves and humans because he didnt have the divine flame required to actually create a new species

#

so he wanted his own people, but he had to make them from other people first

#

hobbits are human and the dwarves uh... happened???

storm jungle
#

yeah "Evil cannot create, it can only corrupt"

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Dwarves were made by one of the other Valar

winged jacinth
#

anything that can talk that isnt human/hobbit/elf/dwarf/orc is probably an angel of some variety

dapper gyro
#

Orc in LotR is more like chaos daemons than Ork.

#

Are you going to tell chaos deamon to stop hitting you?

winged jacinth
queen laurel
winged jacinth
#

also the dwarf kings couldnt be controlled by the rings because their rockish nature made them too immutable for sauron to influence lol

#

"ally your kingdom to me"
"did you say something about increasing the size of my gold pile?"

#

(as a result the dwarf king rings iirc all ended up in dragon hordes)

storm jungle
#

god I hate this artist

#

No blood, no gore, everyone looks clean and sterile

#

lol

winged jacinth
#

basically heresy against khorne

queen laurel
#

for a khorne art

#

it is not that violent looking

winged jacinth
#

i cant imagine khorne marines go into battle without pre-bloodying their equipment

storm jungle
#

Mood, but its just an artist thing

#

anyway @arctic talon source pls

dapper gyro

Are those random sm or gk?

storm jungle

oh right staregryn

#

Yes, I see he weapons, but they look weird.

#

Maybe not enough runes...

arctic talon
#

Apparently the crusade book

winged jacinth
#

its so british that the reason hobbits make good ringbearers is they go "ultimate power? seems like a real hassle" but they still care enough about the world to go do the quest

#

unlike the dwarves or tom who similarly dont care, but dont care so much they're unlikely to keep track of it

#

i wonder what happened to tom in the later ages

opaque coyote
#

Apparently somebody found this gem on Facebook

winged jacinth
#

the elves faded in the 4th age and the dwarves faded in the 5th age

storm jungle

#

lmfao

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

yeah facebook 40k users are all piecees of shit

#

also I LOVE how they use the fucking GI Cobra symbol AND the Galactic Empire logo

#

WHAT DOES COBRA HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING

#

THEY ARE TERRORISTS

winged jacinth
#

i think cobra commander would do well in the astra militarum

its hard to tell ngl

Also somebody commented this underneath the post.

Unironically my wife’s opinion about my space marine killing her cute ‘buggies’.

“Why are you killing them they’re just so cute!”

“They tried to eat me babe.”

“Well just let them eat you what’s the problem?”

#

we must assault the hobby using MULTIPLE DEFENSIVE DEEP STRIKES, the codex strategy known as STEEL REHN

opaque coyote
#

Women are attracted to Tyranids. I suppose because it shows their inner desire to consume endlessly and conquer.

#

Something something Jean Stealer

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

honestly i wouldnt defend the tyranids its not like it bothers them if you kill them

storm jungle

like

"you say the imperium is bad and defend shit like the tyranids"

so nothing to defend there

no but it does look like it was composited

"YOU HAVE 6 TOES? MUTATION."

It gets harder to differentiate at times

winged jacinth

its got a bit of a weird mix of level of detail but nothing too rare

opaque coyote
#

I once shared an AI art thinking it was real

arctic talon
#

Official 40k artists always have something fucky lol

winged jacinth
#

it looks like they drew a background, 4 pairs of grey knights fighting stuff, then composed them in photoshop

arctic talon
#

Yeah

opaque coyote
#

Oh yeah and finally

#

The true backstory

spare osprey
barren prawn

remember our debate about scholam?

#

savant psyker DID NOT go

storm jungle

I dont even remember

#

someone shoot this man

celest dome
barren prawn

ye

celest dome

(though you can pick it in the creation menu)

barren prawn
celest dome
#

Wait do Psyker get to pcik the Scholla

barren prawn
#

im pretty sure sanctioned psykers do

celest dome
#

No they don't in lore

#

At least not after being discovered as Psyker

barren prawn
#

pretty sure i heard it in one of cains books

celest dome
#

They'd go through their own training systems, overseen by the Astra Telepathica

storm jungle

bad source of lore

queen laurel

everything is canon

queen laurel

opaque coyote
barren prawn
#

fine forget everything i said

storm jungle
#

you're fired

nova scaffold
#

so yeah @celest dome if you wonder what im talking about in the wrong chat

#

this is a quar, they are ant eaters and this case imma just use this as example on which space marine chapter will not use a recently discovered xeno species into a kickball

#

like the black templuar see them and be like

storm jungle
#

Even if they did, the moment another Imperial faction saw a Chapter fighting with aliens they'd call for both of their extermination/censure.

queen laurel
nova scaffold
#

well each chapter is different like salamanders are nicest unless you are not a human

#

or have skin when the night lords got thier first

storm jungle
#

Salamanders are also not really nice

#

they have destroyed countless alien species and got a specific Company to burn imperial worlds whos populaces rise up in riots/revolutions

#

they are essentially hypocrites

nova scaffold
#

like not yelling at 500 decidable

queen laurel
opaque coyote
queen laurel
#

they have anti riot squads that have flamethrowers

nova scaffold
opaque coyote
#

Like even after selling their souls to the four fucking super satans

storm jungle
#

They still serve an awful regime

queen laurel
#

yeah that

storm jungle
#

and dont lift a hand to help the imperium's populace

#

Space Marines are not good guys. None of them are.

opaque coyote
nova scaffold
#

i mean if the recently discovered xeno does not fumbled like attack first or not reconizing big E as the god emperoro

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

Any type of Xeno

#

It doesn't matter how good or bad they are

opaque coyote
#

If they merely exist

#

They will get murdered

queen laurel
#

the only xenos they would tolerate are animals they could exploit

rocky gale

Yea, there's plenty of peaceful friendly xenos who laid out the welcome party to the Imperium and got genocided.

opaque coyote
nova scaffold

They're considered animals

The only good example of a non animal one is the one that got harvested to extinction for an immortality thing

nova scaffold
#

like a ring that shoot a deleting laser

#

Jokaero also still get attacked in other imperial spaces, the only reason they arnet wiped out is because they can actually defend themselves with OP weaponry

green loom

#

I missed the Sally talks... But recently, some Sally fans are insufferable.

opaque coyote
#

Generally, the best an average Xenos could hope from the Imperium is that they get ignored.

dapper gyro
#

They started with Sally because of the "nice good guy". However, if you point out to them that Sally did a lot of stupid shit, they start to defend Sally's action...

green loom
#

They actually get even worse in the context of them rescuing civilians
Because they rescue them so they can be forced back into the slave mines KEKW_ogryn

opaque coyote

What the fuck is a Sally.

So they unknowingly get corrupted.

opaque coyote

Oh

nova scaffold

so yeah out of anyone in the imperium, like which one that is lease likely to "rip ass first. ask logical question later"

opaque coyote

Salamanders?

Yes

Guilliman does it because he's smart, but he still hates aliens because that's like... a foundational belief he fought for in the Old Imperium lol

shadow plover
#

Rogue Traders basically

opaque coyote
# nova scaffold yeah they cooked

Literally it's genocide first, ask questions never.

The Imperium basically kept Slaanesh alive by accident purely because they couldn't hold back on attacking the Eldar for 0.01 seconds while they were doing a ritual to potentially kill a Chaos God.

#

The Eldar even told them directly.

dapper gyro
#

Anyhow, it is easy to tell if a BT fan is doing a sacrasm, but it is impossible to know if Sally fan is being an ignorant devil.

opaque coyote
#

"Hey we're doing a ritual to kill Slaanesh. Can you stop trying to kill us for just a little bit?"

#

...

#

And then a space marine began firing at them anyways

#

And then the rest followed

#

It literally costed them nothing to just wait and see btw

nova scaffold
# queen laurel they are crazy

imagine being some privative xeno and when you see a inquisition said "ew cringe" and proceed to glassed the fucking planet

opaque coyote

This actually happened btw

It's not about what's the morally best character, it's about your favorite character that uses the Geneva convention as fancy toilet paper!

dapper gyro

The Geneva convention only applies to people who signed it.

There is nothing about gun caliber.

Not even shotgun...

It's basically lip service

Btw, the fact that 40K shotgun is still 12 gauge is funny to me.

and the crusader want the world to be free and want the first family not be in power

so you got that laati

However, that means the metal casing of 12 gauge could be used for bolter 0.75cal.

Or be Russian and use 23mm/4 gauge, which is bigger than most fictional shotgun bore.

Flechettes don't really make sense for a military (outside tanks) you just use a specialized weapon that does what you want without mucking around with a sabot

It's kinda messed up that the first Arthur book was about how people bullied him for his long nose and had him coming to accept his nose as being part of him rather than wanting to "Fix it" and then in all the later designs they just gave him a normal nose

like you need both feet for moving, one hand for gear shift and other to man the turret and move the turret

beside having joint pain from all limbs

The armoured bulldozer is a basic tool of combat engineering.

Was basically tractor with metal and guns added to it. It was basically made with the shit Bob Semple had lying around. And in a country like New Zealand with like zero industry base. It's actually kinda impressive.

#

Unfortunately part of the many problems was the fact that the tractor engine simply wasn't built to hold tons of riveted steel and machine guns along with a person. It was basically a pathetic piece of dogshit. It was laughed out of ever being put into mass production

#

But honestly? It's still better than no tank at all tbh

#

It was basically a panic build in case Japan invaded New Zealand I believe

#

And they had all the right to panic

#

Luckily Japan was not interested

"Hey, make a tank out of a tractor and some sheet metal and machine guns. We have zero factories. Oh btw, there's a possibility that an empire that literally cannibalizes people will attack us one day. Good luck."

Yes, the Imperial Japanese officers literally ate dead soldiers. Apparently it was some type of ritual to gain their power or something.

The picture you get is from some personal blog, that often time they give the wrong identification.

But to be fair, at the time, many place tried to create things from similar design. Sometimes are copy with minor modification.

The UK Tetrarch got its concept copied by many countries for light support and recce vehicles.

Tbf imagine being a Japanese soldier and then you see a bunch of Kiwi's charging in with the Bob Semple tank

The Japanese didn't really invest that much in tanks either. But tbf they still had them so

they just became horribly out of date

The only real issue was that they decided to actually use them.

Japan had really really nice planes

From a pure logistics view, it made sense. One pilot and one plane for potentially capsizing an entire ship is a good trade off

The same way they did at the Normandy beaches

They nuked it because they would lose too many of their boys

The nukes were many things

crisp heath

Because Japan could have 10 men holding a hill and they would be able to kill many more Americans so the logistics just decided to bomb the city's

opaque coyote
#

They had Kamikaze squads.

languid meadow
#

The reasons ranged from showing Japan and the world that the US could do this and has this. It was to push Japan to surrender since one the invasion would cost hundreds of thousands of civilian lives and thousands of American lives

crisp heath

The Germans used to do something similar on the eastern front they would have a man who volunteered to man a mg he would be given heaps of food and snacks and the rest would leave and his job would be to slow the Russians down

Gotta use it somewhere

I didn't know this !

opaque coyote

Yeah, but by the time they were done, Nazi Germany was basically fucking dead.

So they switched targets

crisp heath
#

They realised they could just release the Russians on them

opaque coyote
#

Another reason why Japan surrendered was because of Manchuria

#

Basically the Russians were invading

#

So they had two nukes, and the Russians coming after them

crisp heath
#

After the war ended the Russians kept taking land for about 5-6 months KEKW_ogryn the red army just didn't stop marching

opaque coyote

It also helps that the Japanese just wanted the Emperor to keep... existing. While the Nazi's pretty much accepted no such thing. It was that they'd get their 1000 year Reich (Lmao) or die.

one of Nazism's core tenants is Bolsheviks should be killed, that's why I hate when people say "Germany would've won if they didn't attack the Soviet Union" WELL THEN THEY WOULDN'T BE NAZIS AND THE WAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A THING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yeah all of the scenarios people suggest would not make them Nazis and at that point the war wouldn't have happened, since then we would need to go all the way back to the 20s-30s and possibly even earlier to stop the rise of the Nazis. Which at that point just make a more interesting ALT timeline

# opaque coyote The funniest part is that the Nazi's stopped doing stuff like archaeology becaus...

”Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It's bad enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts and enthusing over every potsherd and stone ax he finds. All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler makes a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations.”
