#

what chart

#

humans can use bolters

storm jungle
summer mural
#

if anything they need more bolters, there arent enough in supply

storm jungle
#

people still argue that they cant due to stupid meme lore

#

and astartes wanking

summer mural
#

they just get human sized bolters

#

its not like they borrow one from a space marine

storm jungle
#

literally lol

#

idk why people insist this

near wasp
#

I'm sure if you did use a space Marine bolter you'd break your arm

storm jungle
#

Probably not

#

it would just twist out your arm or kick hard

#

its like just firing a more powerful barrett 50.

#

and its already oversized so no point

summer mural
#

the real question is, can space marines use human sized bolters loregryn

near wasp
#

The rounds nearly twice the size a of a .50 bmg

#

Bolters are .995 caliber in space Marine weapons and heavy bolters

dapper gyro
#

That's the heavy heavy bolter

#

Usually vehicle mounted.

summer mural
#

I wonder if the emperor had perfect accuracy at the firing range

dapper gyro
#

otherwise, 0.75in/20mm bolter.

queen laurel
#

A bolter is like .75 caliber

dapper gyro
#

Fun fact, there is .50cal bolter and .50cal stubber/autogun.

winged jacinth
summer mural
dapper gyro
#

Like SM being 8-9ft talls, because the very few SM are.

summer mural
#

just take that minigun bs the titans use, doesnt that fire like 3000 rounds per second or something

near wasp
#

That's realistic

winged jacinth
#

Heavy bolter is really a thing of the gun itself probably being heavy as fuck, bolters are probably really low recoil for their scale because of the gyrojet style propulsion

summer mural
#

vulcan minigun

winged jacinth
#

Vehicle rotary gun fire rates staregryn

#

Brrrrrrrrrrrrt

summer mural
#

titans being absurd overkill will never not be funny

dapper gyro
#

Big bore gun is cool, but the sheer amount of projectile flying at the enemy matter as well.

winged jacinth
#

When you're not worried about recoil or carrying ammo you can just go crazy on weapon design

summer mural
#

they can have plasma pistols in dt too cant they

#

pretty sure those exist

dapper gyro
#

Like how the M134 is used in place of M2 in many case

winged jacinth
#

Plasma pistols do exist but from a gameplay standpoint what purpose do they serve

#

Plasma gun is basically a plasma pistol already

summer mural
#

i dunno, im sure theyl figure something out

winged jacinth
#

Then we've got bolt pistol too

summer mural
#

also plasma pistol prob wont have that much cleave

#

and i mean we already have overlapping weapons

#

like arby shock maul and old shock maul

#

i think one of them is just straight up redundant now

#

unless you wanna run it on a different class

#

also the shotguns

#

we got 2 close range combat shotguns then double barrel shotgun, arby shotgun

#

hotshot las is a good idea though

#

itl be less mobile than recon las

crisp heath
#

It would mean you would have to carry those backpacks the scab gunners carry tho right?

summer mural
#

also two handed chainaxes, power axes

#

yes

#

the hotshot las comes with a backpack

crisp heath
#

Yeah I doubt fs will add that

#

Would be cool tho

winged jacinth
#

Unfortunately i think anything that conflicts with a cosmetic slot is probably a no go

summer mural
#

Im also 99% sure that fs has already brainstormed and tried coming up with hotshot las, because its an easy include and its requested all the time, and stuff like the backpack bit is giving them trouble

crisp heath
#

It would also have to affect movement which would be hard to do

winged jacinth
#

Its wack because there's like 3 good back cosmetics anyway

winged jacinth
summer mural
#

not to mention theyve already made hotshot las for the game, thats what the scab gunners use

#

Im pretty sure the backpack is the problem, the movement and firerate and reload and stuff probably isnt

winged jacinth
#

That and identity with the recon i think

summer mural
#

well recon wasnt popular at all for a loonggg time

#

its pretty great now

winged jacinth
#

Hard to imagine a satisfying hellgun that doesn't obsolete the recon completely

crisp heath
#

Yeah you'd have to sprint at 50% speed or something

#

Walk slower aswell

winged jacinth
#

Slowing base movement is something they avoid i think

#

They don't want to mechanically encourage splitting

summer mural
#

they can make up for it if they rework the vet tree

crisp heath
#

We need a power sword rework and a power axe

summer mural
#

because arby aint that mobile on some of his weapons, he gets a bunch of movement speed buffs though

#

from his tree

#

power axe would be cool too

crisp heath
#

Heck yeah

winged jacinth
#

Im always in favor of new power weapons

#

Human scale power fists you brawl with...

crisp heath
#

There my favorite part about dt tbh

summer mural
#

they should firstly add the block on special activation from relic blade to all weapons with activatable specials

crisp heath
#

The power weapons

dapper gyro
#

Just give them some interesting moveset and traits.

winged jacinth
#

I want to punch a heretics head into vapor...

crisp heath
#

A power fist would be very fun on the vet

winged jacinth
#

Also powerfist redemption after being absolute pain in sm2

summer mural
#

also, if they do an admech themed class, they have tonnes of options to choose from, volkite rifles, phosphor pistols, omnissiah axe

dapper gyro
crisp heath
#

But I guess that would mean he can only weild a sidearm

summer mural
#

ogryn power fist

#

vet power axe

crisp heath
#

True mb

dapper gyro
#

Has quite a few unique weapons already.

winged jacinth
#

Eh arbites can put a whole shield away they can holster some power fists

summer mural
#

ogryn can only have uniques though

#

arbites are missing grenade launcher, they use that in their lore

dapper gyro
#

But smaller selection overall. Vet has tons of talent to buff lasgun, which make them way stronger on vet than other classes.

summer mural
#

also psyker needs more staffs

#

I dont even know what staff weapon lore is

#

but its been a while since theyve had a staff

dapper gyro
#

Been a while? No new staff since release.

humble shoal
#

Psyker needs a melee staff

#

Vet needs a long shovel

arctic talon
#

The power staffs in lore are melee weapons

#

lol

humble shoal
#

Yeah

#

Vet with a long shovel that play like elf gsword

arctic talon
#

So it’s a bit funny in DT how they’re tied to abilities

humble shoal
crisp heath
humble shoal
#

I would use the shit outta that

dapper gyro
#

At that point, why not use the ogryn shovel?

summer mural
#

just give him a power axe

#

and give me an admech class with volkite rifles, phosphor pistols, omnissiah axes

humble shoal
summer mural
#

why did rannick alter morrows memory

#

and morrow knows about it no less

#

wonder what he removed

winged jacinth
summer mural
#

i think they should remove the melee entirely from the staff

#

and give it an aoe stun

#

like the arby shields have

winged jacinth
#

Nah i should be allowed to staff fight

#

Like at waffle house

summer mural
#

but you can only staff lose

#

not staff fight

celest dome
#

Being able to hold it for better damage and cc but generate peril would be nice

winged jacinth
#

Every time i bash a poxer in the head and see a white double hit marker i get sad

summer mural
#

aoe stun

#

he just slams the base into the ground

#

like gandalf did at the bridge

#

also aoe stun is literally good for all psyker builds

winged jacinth
#

I was about to say "alright gandalf" lol

#

There's human mages in the lotr battlefront clone that do the bubble shield too

#

Which is extra funny because in lotr doing magic isnt real

#

The five wizards are angels they don't cast spells they're doing miracles

#

God bless tolkein lore "ok we've got these wizards, gandalf and saruman are big deals, radagast the brown is around but useless, and im not even going to name the blue wizards they've wandered off somewhere"

#

Why even add them dude

humble shoal
winged jacinth
#

Yeah they're only mentioned offhand

#

We don't know their names and no one knows what they're up to in universe

#

They wandered off sometime in the second age and the other wizards haven't seen them since

humble shoal
#

Simarillion was not a coherent narrative

winged jacinth
#

They're probably alive, because they literally cannot die without the valar intervening

humble shoal
#

Just ramblings of world building not really meant to be released

winged jacinth
#

The blue wizards are mentioned in the two towers apparently

#

But they mostly exist in the silmarilon and lost tales since they're not around in the 3rd age

tough haven
#

I can’t believe Tom bombadil was never in the movies, favorite character from the books, glad he got some time in the rings of power

summer mural
#

so the imperial navy is completely seperate from astra militarum right

winged jacinth
#

The movies were so long already and i don't think tom would have made sense to casual audiences

summer mural
#

and all the ships are made by the admech , not the navy

#

also yeah tom was kind of a long break

#

he doesnt fit very well into the flow of the adventure per se

#

especially since the first movie is fairly dark till they get to rivendell

winged jacinth
humble shoal
#

Lord solar is in charge of both

winged jacinth
#

Tom barely makes sense even if you know the silmarilion lore

summer mural
#

so the admech makes all the ships

winged jacinth
#

Yeah

summer mural
#

and the navy just crew em

winged jacinth
#

But they make everything

humble shoal
summer mural
#

do the navy have like..combat units, apart from voidsmen, who are basically boarding parties?

winged jacinth
winged jacinth
#

But like his singing and the song of creation i suspect are connected

humble shoal
#

All I know is where theres a whip theres a way should have been in the hobbit movies

winged jacinth
#

Im personally a "tom is the spirit of Middle Earth itself" fan

summer mural
#

so if the militarum wanna get around , they have to rely on the imperial navy? just like in rl kinda

winged jacinth
#

Yeah

summer mural
#

but space marines have their own ships too right

storm jungle
#

Its all segregated

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

no they travel around on small river boats

tough haven
summer mural
#

so are they captained by like sm captains, im talking just average stuff, not like helbrechts flagship

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

With few exceptions the mechanicus makes those ships too

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

Read.

summer mural
#

oh how do you hyperlink okay

storm jungle
#

that was entirely accidental lol

summer mural
#

LOL

storm jungle
tough haven
#

What do space marines call marines from other chapters? Tell me so I don’t need to read marine lore, but so my writing can be accurate

storm jungle
#

first time seeing this

outer wave
#

Oh thats cool

summer mural
#

im assuming its mostly brother

storm jungle
#

^

#

or just "Sons of [chapter]"

outer wave
#

I mean, SM2 had cousin thrown around by that sorcerer guy, no?

#

Could also go with that

#

Battle Cousin....

summer mural
#

wot

storm jungle
#

thats a chaos marine

humble shoal
storm jungle
#

they always refer to loyalists as cousins

winged jacinth
#

The brother thing comes out of the warrior monk aesthetic

humble shoal
#

Help me step-cousim I am pinned here

outer wave
storm jungle
#

STOP

winged jacinth
#

The cousin thing i think is basically a taunt about the heresy

summer mural
#

apart from sergeant and officers the sm dont seem big on rank either, they all just got different battlefield designations

humble shoal
#

Chapter master

#

Great company leader

tough haven
humble shoal
#

Honorable

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

There's only 1000 marines in a chapter but they have lieutenants and captains plus special roles

humble shoal

Help me cousin I drank too much lean and now my armor is hollow (rubric marine)

winged jacinth
#

God bless ozzy for denying hogan media coverage by dying at the same time but being well liked

summer mural
#

black templars are just like

humble shoal
#

Furries do their own thing

#

Templars just tell the inquisitiom to count them

summer mural
#

infinite spawning space marine fanatic vigilantes by this point

humble shoal
#

Go tell the legion of the damned they arent cod3x compliant

summer mural
#

il get their autograph first

humble shoal
winged jacinth
#

I don't think most chapters are too far above 1k just because even maintaining the numbers is hard

humble shoal
#

And markers dont stick on ceremite

winged jacinth
#

It takes what 100 years for a marine to mature a second progenoid?

humble shoal
winged jacinth
#

Yeah im sure

summer mural
#

Unlike the vessels of the Imperial Navy, a Space Marine ship has a relatively small crew. A Space Marine is far too valuable to waste in manning a gun or watching a surveyor screen, and so only the officers aboard a vessel are likely to be Space Marines, as well as the few Techmarines who oversee the engines and perform other mechanical duties. Almost all the ship’s systems are run and monitored by servitors; half-human cyborgs who are wired into the vessel’s weapons, engines and communications apparatus. There are also a few hundred Chapter Serfs to attend to other duties, such as routine cleaning and maintenance, serving the Space Marines during meal times and other such honoured tasks. These serfs come from the Chapter’s home planet or the enclave they protect, many of them Novitiates or applicants who have failed some part of the recruiting or training process. These serfs are fanatically loyal to their superhuman masters, and indoctrinated into many of the lesser orders of the Chapter’s Cult. Although human, they still benefit from remarkable training and access to superior weaponry than is usually found on a naval vessel, making them a fearsome prospect in a boarding action – even without the support of their genetically modified lords

winged jacinth
#

They get the double benefit of who's gonna tell the ultramarines they're not being codex compliant lol

#

Yes that is what the lexicanum says

summer mural
#

" a space marine is far too valuable to waste in manning a gun or watching a surveyor screen"
staregryn
shit like this is why half of them are traitors

#

put them to work

winged jacinth
#

The marines give orders serfs and servitors carry them out

storm jungle
#

its basically real life

#

but your boss is a giant armored fridge

summer mural
#

boy techmarines sure are hardworking folks

winged jacinth
#

Between combat they don't have much to do anyway and during combat they're often doing boarding actions so they're not going to be doing minor key ship roles

humble shoal
summer mural
#

" fix my tank" fix my gun" fix my bike" fix my strike cruiser" " fight on the frontline" " fix my armor", I hope they get paid well

tough haven
#

I love how I’m my campaign the Absolvers are pissed at the party’s space marine for being heavy handed and unintentionally destroying part of an area they swore to protect, as if they don’t destroy entire cities because there’s a chaos cult present on them, hypocrisyhammer

humble shoal
#

Also @storm jungle do you know if the black templars would even respond to the last wall protocol?

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

Yeah techmarines must be so fucking busy lol

humble shoal
storm jungle
summer mural
#

I have so much respect for martellus 🫡

storm jungle
#

theres IF successors about as distant/spread out a sthey are

full obsidian
storm jungle
#

they are talking about manning random ass consoles

#

or other IT level positions

humble shoal

Brother this pipe is out of spec by 4%

winged jacinth
#

The black templars are violent zealots but they're devoted violent zealots

tough haven
summer mural
#

also

#

techmarines gotta fix the dreadnoughts too

winged jacinth
#

Im pretty sure even a land raider only has one driver and a bunch of servitors too iirc

summer mural
#

at least they get extra arms and omnissiah axe

humble shoal
summer mural
#

also iirc, its mostly the techmarines who man the sm gunships

winged jacinth
#

The ships i imagine have baseline humans even for roles like helmsman they just get top level orders from astartes command

humble shoal
arctic talon
winged jacinth
humble shoal
#

No its a tank

winged jacinth
#

he doesnt get it...

summer mural
#

it looks like the best navy ships are designed for more raw firepower than battle barges

winged jacinth
#

Space marines field russes? Why?

#

Battle barges are invasion ships

summer mural
#

yeah

#

space marines probably like that boarding action

#

and the navy probably loves their batteries of cannons

humble shoal
#

Hold up am I remember something wrong

#

Consult the tank types

winged jacinth
#

They're more dedicated to drop pods and hangar bays than mounting a nova cannon or something

arctic talon
#

the space wolves have some russes

#

iirc

winged jacinth
#

The shovel prow is a big hangar door which is so fucking dumb lol

humble shoal
#

I misremembered it was solar auxilia

#

Sm had different tanks

winged jacinth
#

Why would you put your hangar on the nose of your ship

humble shoal
#

(Other than land raiders)

summer mural
#

Im assuming the admech have their own entire class of ships available to them

arctic talon
#

yeah they have predators

dapper gyro
#

🤓 Marines means Naval Infantry in the old time.

arctic talon
#

aside from the Ark mechanicus

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

which is less a ship pattern

humble shoal
#

Was thinking of this guy

winged jacinth
#

If you had side hangars a battle barge could probably mount a spinal gun

arctic talon
#

and more a wastebin classification

#

Tbf

summer mural
#

i thought ark mechanicus was like a super weapon thing

arctic talon
#

Battle barges aren't meant to be good at space combat

summer mural
#

indeed

arctic talon
#

just a catch all term for an Archmagos/magos's personal ship

#

thats been modified/changed/is unique/is a specific type of battleship

winged jacinth
arctic talon
#

yeah

#

marine ships in general are severely lacking in actual offensive power

#

they're mostly just defensive brick shithouses that go fast as hell

winged jacinth
#

I'd want mine to have at least one of the big torpedo tubes i think

dapper gyro
#

Because if they mount big offensive guns on their ship, then all of the cool shit the SMs do are gone.

winged jacinth
#

Still thinking about the 5 teraton naval missile

summer mural
#

according to lexi, when guilliman was making the codex, the marines were supposed to be like the guard, theyd use the navy for space travel and stuff, but corax was mad because of the dropsite massacre and complained that it would have been more manageable if the space marines had their own fleets, so they compromised by giving them their own fleets that wouldnt be the champs at naval combat and usurp the navy but would be good for like invasions , suppression and deep striking stuff

dapper gyro
#

They need a reason to fight feet on, for all of those glories.

winged jacinth
#

It makes logistical sense for them to be fleet independent too

#

Corax right for the wrong reasons lol

arctic talon
#

lol

#

But yeah marine ships are the thickest and fastest imperial ships

humble shoal
#

Except for the khans that go faster

#

Shpeed

#

-hears about heresy, is confused, fuck it Im just going to go fast

dapper gyro
winged jacinth
#

Space marines constantly arrive at and leave from in progress campaigns so having them tied to the navy would just be confusing

dapper gyro
#

The fleet was managed by mostly human crews.

winged jacinth
#

Yeah sure but that's not a good reason

humble shoal
#

Fleet just parted cuz navy sided with warmaster

winged jacinth
#

The navy is still all human crews

humble shoal
#

If high lords say to kill say... the furries

dapper gyro
humble shoal
#

The furries dont want their own fleet to turn on them

winged jacinth
#

It doesn't really solve the problem

#

It solves other problems though

dapper gyro
#

Well, the CoC and logistic of the thing were all mixed up, no one know who are friend or foe.

humble shoal
winged jacinth
#

Not from a surprise attack from a ship they assumed was an ally lol

humble shoal
#

They can take hits

#

From a battleship

#

And still run

winged jacinth
#

They can tank nova shots??

#

Smwank lol

arctic talon
#

direct shot? no

#

lmao

#

the explosive effect most cruiser and up ships can eat it

dapper gyro
arctic talon
#

Escorts and destroyers usually get cooked tho

humble shoal
arctic talon
#

lol

winged jacinth
#

If the allied battleship nearby suddenly unloads its main guns and torpedos into you you have problems

arctic talon
#

yeah

humble shoal
#

But there is a plot chance you can escape

#

If your battle barge turns traitor with you on it

#

There is no chance

winged jacinth
#

But the marines being independent of the navy is hugely useful in actually carrying out marine combat doctrine

winged jacinth
humble shoal
#

Unless the emperor comes out and shoves you into the webway or some dumb shit

winged jacinth
#

You underestimate its power...

humble shoal
winged jacinth
#

When me and the crew turn traitor and the door servitors turn to look at us and start singing hymns staregryn

That would be a great intro to a nexron book

creed is hopefully in the type of Stasis

It is suffering

storm jungle

No

some are thinking

he literally setup a diorama with a deathwatch killteam and Ork warboss

I like how trazyn is sometimes really merciful when he wants to be

storm jungle

yeah but thats the thing

he almost never is

winged jacinth

I feel like creed going crazy would kinda ruin it for trazyn

tough haven

Like the magos he keeps around with nearly full autonomy besides the mindshackle to keep him from doing anything rash

It kinda makes sense that the von valancius flagship is the same ancient ship they started off with considering

I want to beat up whoever decided frigates in 40k were bigger than destroyers

summer mural
#

I wonder if there are rogue traders with battleships

queen laurel
near wasp
#

There def are

winged jacinth
#

Yeah the huge dynasties can have massive fleets

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

We’ve seen a few

summer mural
#

i havent played rt yet, i just own it lol

storm jungle
#

the only ships rogue traders cannot have are like Gloriana (which are primarch-tier ships) or Ark Mechanicus stuff otherwise anything is free game.

winged jacinth
#

They usually have to personally protect huge regions of space for their protectorate so they often end up with a whole navy

arctic talon
#

GW could write a rogue trader with a Gloriana lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah but alas we got no canon example of it yet

summer mural
#

arent gloriana like sm exclusive

arctic talon
#

We’ve got 2 navy Gloriana stills

arctic talon
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Navy also used them as a showpiece

queen laurel
#

That is like lost tech no

winged jacinth
#

A rogue trader can get basically anything that's not unique or semi-unique

arctic talon
#

Glorianas actually kinda suck in lore lol

summer mural
#

guilliman has a gloriana doesnt he

queen laurel
#

Oh shit for real

arctic talon
#

Yeah

summer mural
#

the laurens of copium

arctic talon
#

Gloriana’s just

#

Are bad

#

They’re entirely meant to show off

summer mural
#

gloriana is supposed to be an older model

#

its a prestige thing

arctic talon
#

Yeah they’re out of date as well

arctic talon
#

Guilliman needed a full retrofit

#

Which was done by Mars

winged jacinth
#

Idk if a rt could get a battle barge but basically anything ever mass produced is fair game

storm jungle
#

space marine ships are solely for astartes

arctic talon
#

Tbh battle barges are kinda shit for how much of a pain they are to maintain

storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

So not sure why you’d want one

storm jungle
#

also like,you can literally have ships that can blow up said battle-barges

winged jacinth
#

Yeah just conceptually

storm jungle
#

so it doesnt even matter

storm jungle
#

you can get better versions of it

winged jacinth
#

I bet a battle barge makes a hell of an armed merchant vessel KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon
#

It’s durable as fuck and fast(for an imperial ship)

#

Is the one upside

#

You get less guns

The winterscales family ship is a grand cruiser

Which is funny

winged jacinth
#

But yeah besides ships that are entirely unique (like the Phalanx for an extreme example) or classes in which each ship is basically unique (typically also deeply faction locked) like ark mechanicus rogue traders can get them

#

An RT could probably get a lesser mechanicus ship but it would be through contract and the mechanicus would still own and crew it

For some reason

they just send genestealers onto them

winged jacinth

They renamed the planet to armageddon before it underwent armageddon

storm jungle

because the hivemind knpows people explore spacehulks

They gotta stop letting prophets name stuff

and thus serves as a vector for infection

How do you think some planets end up with genestealer cults lol

Jeanstealers should get the pimpmobile back

Space hulks also allow tyranids to do warp travel which they usually cant

so they can infect wherever they float to

Okay yeah that makes more sense to me compared to

Infecting any random person that decided to go to the funny metal meteor

Space hulks are the #1 way to do warp travel without your own warp drive manufacturing ability

opaque coyote

Which tyranids and less developed orks take advantage of

storm jungle

where do those random persons that get infected by genestealers go to?

thats right, worlds filled with trillions of people

I think a big enough waagh starts building warp capable ships?

next question

I would guess spacd hulks mostly jump into uninhabited systems but they don't usually stick around that long so you'll hit an inhabited world eventually

You wouldn't download a land raider

humble shoal
near wasp
#

I def would

winged jacinth
#

Yeah that is actually what happened lol

rocky gale
#

I don't think Genestealers are necessarily infecting Space Hulks deliberately, my assumption was that because Space Hulks are made up of ships lost to the warp that then get all smooshed together and that any ship of a large enough size is going to have a genestealer infection of some scale, that they all just sort of end up there after the ship they're on gets stuck in it.

near wasp
#

I'm not gonna buy a land raider just to cut it up for a battle map

storm jungle
#

the hivemind is smart enough to know people investigate space hulks

rocky gale
#

Huh

storm jungle
#

but sometimes indeed it can be accidental yeah

winged jacinth
#

Oh i meant in universe, land literally downloaded the land raider lol

storm jungle
#

All it takes is 1 genestealer to make it onto som evoidcraft that will eventually park on an imperial world

#

how it gets there is entirely up to the writer which is the neat part

#

spacehulks are just one among like millions of other ways you can think up

winged jacinth

It costs the nids basically nothing to seed a hulk with genestealers too

Literally nothing yeah

And don’t forget GW outright canonised you can export Genestealer taint without actual Genestealers too

so hes from the second war
