[opaque coyote]

Zero supplies

Outdated technology

Both times

[paper haven]

No supplies, terrible equipment, horrific leadership

Italian soldiers were somehow some of the highest motivated troops in WW1

[opaque coyote]

Especially WW1. They literally had a general that just had the same mindset as the average meme game in CS or Siege.

"Rush"

[paper haven]

I think morale was pretty high in WW2 as well but can't actually recall

[arctic talon]

Italian soldiers being competent and highly motivated

Is still depressing to me considering yknow

[opaque coyote]

Retreat?

Do actual maneuvers are tactics?

Luigi Cadrona says "just rush"

[arctic talon]

Everything else surrounding Italy in both world wars

[opaque coyote]

Tbf for WW2, they were on the high of the brainlet that made up fascism in the first place.

[dapper gyro]

It is all fun and game until the "polite" Canadian and "criminal" Australian join the game.

[opaque coyote]

Sniffing fake glory and power off of his

Bald

Bald head

[paper haven]

The indomitable warrior spirit vs starving in a muddy trench because some bald fuck had a midlife crisis

[arctic talon]

Okay yeah that’s true

[paper haven]

Technically speaking, you can't even actually be fascist unless you are Italian.

[opaque coyote]

I think the worst part is that people still actively mourn on his grave

And somebody watches it 24/7 to prevent damage

And all that

Personally I think it should be a public bathroom

[paper haven]

Crazy to think about

[opaque coyote]

Yeah somebody has to stand nearby to prevent people from damaging the tomb

Or pissing on his grave

Again, should be a public bathroom

[paper haven]

A reminder that he died trying to flee his country like a coward

[opaque coyote]

After fleeing his country like a coward beforehand

Combo

[paper haven]

To avoid military service, right?

Or did he flee the country more than once?

[opaque coyote]

After a part of Italy realized that shit was going bad

And it was all because of him

They revolted

He fled

To the upper parts of Italy

And a puppet state was made

While he was left useless

And he actually wrote a part of his autobiography during that period

It is one of the few times we get to see the pov of a conquerer that failed

The darkest part is that he believed that the world would vindicate him

And that his beliefs would rise once more

...

On some level, he was unfortunately right

I hope we prove him wrong again

[lament shoal]

Who's grave?

[opaque coyote]

Mussolini's

[lament shoal]

Oh yeah fuck that guy

[opaque coyote]

The guy who made up fascism

[surreal nest]

Ive never seen these models before wtf

These are insane what are they

[valid needle]

Big chongus sword guy 1 and big chongus stick guy 2

[sour hornet]

Only really in WW1, in WW2 a lot has been said about their "ferocity" that cannot be backed up when you actually break down their engagements

[celest dome]

Dark Commune ?

[sour hornet]

The only actually competent Italian force was the Regia Aeronautica

[queen laurel]

lord of the rings by GW i'm sure

[sour hornet]

and it was supplied in a fashion that could best be described as

"theoretically"

[opaque coyote]

Didn't say ferocious

Just

Competent

[sour hornet]

They arent particularly competent either

[queen laurel]

wait it's warhammer

looks like a nazgul though

[sour hornet]

they have almost no showings of this really anywhere

like i said, the RA was the most competent force in Italian employ, and it was a ramshackle thing only partially supplied

the Italian ground forces were an absolute shitshow on every level

both in command and in terms of its fighting ability

[opaque coyote]

I would say

Competent for an army outclassed on

Every level

[sour hornet]

they were on the defense almost the whole war, it's easier to not collapse like a deck of cards when your enemy has to climb 100 meters to take 100 meters

in Greece and in NA they got absolute trounced without measure

its only really in Italy itself that they showed any fighting elan

[arctic talon]

Dark Commune basicially a cultist command squad

[opaque coyote]

To be fair

If you had to be in

One of

These fucking things

Against actual tanks

I wouldn't be that excited

Imagine being in one of these things during like

1944

This was their main tank btw

The fucking tankette

[shadow plover]

it's all a man can need

[queen laurel]

get yourself an anti tank rifle and the stubbornness of a hard headed Dumbass and ball

[lament shoal]

Are imperial knight pilots permanently bound to the inside of their knight or can they freely leave them?

[shadow plover]

They can leave yes

[lament shoal]

Ty

Looks fun to drive around

I would

100%

Get one just to drive through the street casually

[languid meadow]

Ok so

trump posted a video about kirk and it looks off

https://youtu.be/2yCu21pL73s?si=HQ6Qvxy4KXBDvWSN

Like is this AI?

feels like it and all the comments on multiple platforms feel the same

[celest dome]

Apparently

[languid meadow]

it feels gross

[celest dome]

As usual

[valid needle]

Who up civilling their war 2?

[surreal nest]

you can tell its AI because he didnt go off on a tangent about random subjects or start explaining the definition of words randomly

[valid needle]

I hear we have the greatest military

The best military

I looked at our military and said wow that’s a beautiful military

[surreal nest]

LMFAO

[misty vector]

Wow ai generated speech about one of your biggest supporters lol

[dapper gyro]

When anything happens, it is easy to blame the "left". Because of how the US work, the 2 parties system means people can't really be independent as they would get crushed, many have to align with one of the big party. Therefore each party has a sub faction fighting each other quietly. It is not even a conspiracy.

The fact that the Orange always assume anything bad to the other side is baffling.

[queen laurel]

i could paste googly eyes in a chicken nugget and it would look more genuine and more appreciative than this

[valid needle]

Basically the same in my country

Except our socialist party has become more like centre conservatives and our actual Conservative have become right wing proper

The only actual socialist party is dwarfed by the two

Then you have the eco party which just do its own thing

Then you’ve got the socialist nationalist party and then the alt right nationalists

World politics are just fucked

[dapper gyro]

Your country?

[valid needle]

UK

The good part of the UK though

Scotland

[dapper gyro]

Well, it is pretty much Canada, too.

[surreal nest]

i assume you saw that trump also made racial profiling legal and ICE can stop you on suspicion of being illegal based off your accent or skin color

shit is insane

[celest dome]

There is global enshitification every where atm

It's not yet a full recession yet though

[dapper gyro]

Most provinces are right wings, but each conservator hold different values. And they are different from federal conservator.

[dapper gyro]

Like Quebec right wings don't like any religions.

[celest dome]

1st gif is them watching their neighbour

[dapper gyro]

Which is the opposite of other right wings.

[surreal nest]

LMFAO NOOO

yeah i'd like to report a suspected foreign accent, my neighbor pronounces "orange" weird

[celest dome]

Or:

• My neighbour is a commie
• My neighbour has blue hairs
• My neighbour doesn't beat his wife...

Plenty of reasons for those idiots

[surreal nest]

jesus christ we gonna be in another red scare at this point

not that it ever ended

[dapper gyro]

Quebec also has its own federal party, which sometimes fight against the province proper... It is funny sometimes.

Imagine women voting. /s

[surreal nest]

all I know is stay safe my beloved lore chatters the world is a grim place without you

[opaque coyote]

I wish that America had more than

two parties

well it does

but they are suppressed so much that there's not really any true choices

[queen laurel]

Trump supporters after you say 1 bad thing about him (they're going to make the ku klux klan look like toddlers after they are done with you)

[opaque coyote]

only than those two

[languid meadow]

the most french pass time is fighting oneself

[queen laurel]

i thought the most French pass time are revolutions

[languid meadow]

I type this as L'Amérique Pleure starts playing

[lament shoal]

The look on Doakes' face lmfao

[surreal nest]

bless doakes the best character in tv history

yeah i said it fuck all my haters

[celest dome]

Quintessential "Trust your guts" character

[dapper gyro]

Revolution is pretty much fighting one's self.

Within a nation

[queen laurel]

aye true

[celest dome]

Excising the part that aren't "good"

[frigid inlet]

Damn this chat is cancer, all yall should he ashamed

[celest dome]

Of what

[shadow plover]

probably not mourning over a dead fascist mouthpiece

[surreal nest]

He's probably just stupid dw

[celest dome]

More so when they argued in favour if gun violence

[surreal nest]

oh his bio has a slur and he follows sweet baby inc detected on steam

💀

[frigid inlet]

Hur durr

Bro got so tilted he checked my steam lol

[surreal nest]

God forbid I click 2 buttons to find out why you're angrily ranting in a discord server with no context

[shadow plover]

It's pretty obvious thing to do when someone never heard of comes in and says something weird

[frigid inlet]

No context, this channel is 40k lore not praising terrorist

[surreal nest]

What the fuck are you talking about

Have you ever read a book before

[frigid inlet]

Disgusting

[surreal nest]

Wait so was that a no?

[dapper gyro]

Brother, 40K is full of stories about terrorists.

[shrewd depot]

@pine wedge Yeh so murder this convo

[surreal nest]

Dog there's no conversation happening that was like 15 hours ago

Watch the 1st episode of Hammer and Bolter, lol.

Feel something familiar?

Vindicare Assassin is cool as hell, you think?

Bloody moral high ground in 40K chat.

[frigid inlet]

Read master of mankind

[surreal nest]

You first buddy

[frigid inlet]

Actually understand tbe plan

[frigid inlet]

Ive read most of the heresy books, I only have a few before SOT

[lament shoal]

Is spam the closest thing we have to real life corpse starch?

[frigid inlet]

You probably watch majorkill for lore

[surreal nest]

Yet curiously you aren't discussing the lore and instead just naming off books you've read

[lament shoal]

It is imperative that I know the answer

[surreal nest]

I don't feel convinced

[frigid inlet]

Yet yall felt the need to mention American politics on the 40k lore channel

[shrewd depot]

Eh, its debatable.

Spam probably has more meat content

[lament shoal]

[shrewd depot]

I'd say cornbeef is closer

An amount of meat + sawdust

[surreal nest]

idek why you're in this server when you're terrified of minorities. You have a steam group telling you if games contain DEI lol

[dapper gyro]

We don't know unless someone makes one in real life, which I don't think that it will happen any time soon.

[shrewd depot]

Buddy shut the fuck up with the moral dick measuring

Talk 40k or fuck off

[surreal nest]

Right man moral dick measuring when this dude comes in here screaming about random shit and has a slur in his bio lmfao

[shrewd depot]

Then report him and block him

Who the fuck needs a discussion on it

[frigid inlet]

I have no issue with minorities, but please change subject

[sacred ginkgo]

You do know this chat is very often off topic under the direct oversight of the mods right

[surreal nest]

I love midnight chatters they're so silly

[frigid inlet]

Says this creature

[shrewd depot]

Being EU proving again to be the worst timezone

I always get locked in here with the absolute creatures

[surreal nest]

Yeah yeah buddy

[shrewd depot]

I can almost certainly tell you someone has made a corpse protein bar before

[dapper gyro]

Soni, go back to explain why Salamanders die in Pariah Nexus despite the can't be neck snap.

[frigid inlet]

Yeah yeah buddy, cant even argue just tries to diminish talking points

[surreal nest]

LMFAOOOO

[shrewd depot]

Custodes are Astartes now huh?

[frigid inlet]

Lol Canadian

[languid meadow]

ooo someone was mad enough to check bios

lmfaoooo

fucking bozo

[frigid inlet]

So if that makes me a bozo what about checking steam accounts lol

Ill be a bozo then what does that make them

[surreal nest]

he's mocking you

he's mocking you for what you said earlier

you're being mocked

[frigid inlet]

Yes im aware

[surreal nest]

i dont think you are man

[frigid inlet]

Don't think to much you might blow a gasket

[queen laurel]

i mean like we don't over blow it we keep it contained here and we are like civilized in talking

Also we talk about like actual lore these are like few and far between and we have a mod that monitors it so that it doesn't get out of hand

Things happening around the world people naturally would talk about it that's like normal I don't know why you would be offended by that

[dapper gyro]

Im hang around this one because people here don't take 40K as seriously as other 40K places.

[surreal nest]

Above all else this channel is pretty civil, you're just being a weird asshole

[lament shoal]

Bruh I never realized witch was a mod till now lol

[languid meadow]

mfs who never talk in here acting like they own the place 💔

[dapper gyro]

And 40K is a funny place when people take lore seriously.

[frigid inlet]

Im being weird for calling out people who celebrate death

[sacred ginkgo]

She literally has the yellow role

[surreal nest]

Nobody knows who you are you just scrolled 15 hours ago to a conversation and started whining

[queen laurel]

we don't we are just pointing it out

You're literally not here when you're first discussing it about us like we don't condone it but like people crack under pressure

[lament shoal]

I never really looked at the roles and their meanings besides the standard member ones tbh

[valid needle]

https://tenor.com/view/started-blasting-gun-eyeglasses-so-anyway-i-started-blasting-gif-16955226

[frigid inlet]

Doesn't matter, celebrating the death of people is disgusting

[surreal nest]

He is gonna quote me from 16 hours ago saying charlie kirk was a bad person

[languid meadow]

woke up just to find a reason to be mad

[sacred ginkgo]

I check profiles habitually because I like knowing things

[languid meadow]

crazyyyyy

[surreal nest]

he's perma mad i think

[frigid inlet]

Making an assumption is funny

[celest dome]

I won't weep for someone that condone school shooting.
But I guess that's controversial stance 🤷

[frigid inlet]

The amount of fallacies on display here is wild

[surreal nest]

oh yeah man fallacies in your 40k lore discord server

any lore you wanna share with us

[frigid inlet]

Youre not discussing 40k dip shit

[surreal nest]

whats your favorite faction

[cinder pivot]

Human history says otherwise

[frigid inlet]

30k iron hands

[queen laurel]

Dude stop acting like a fallout legionnaire will you

Do you really expect every person to be just a robot that talks only about 40K lore

[languid meadow]

"guys it's not great to celebrate hitlers death he had a famawiyyy"

💔

[valid needle]

[frigid inlet]

Lmao okay 10 year-old

[sacred ginkgo]

Nobody is awake so tomorrow

[summer mural]

ughhhh thousand sons

[valid needle]

Didn’t know Charlie Kirk signed the death warrant of millions of people dang

[frigid inlet]

They're cool, magnus kinda shafted them though

Ahriman is a cool character

[surreal nest]

fuck magnus he's a mope

love ahriman

[frigid inlet]

Real

[summer mural]

magnus isnt op enough tbh

hes kinda weak for being a primarch, a psyker supreme and a daemon prince

[frigid inlet]

He blew apart a "titan" with his mind

[sacred ginkgo]

Magnus gets dumpstered because he’s allowed to die repeatedly

Loyalist primarchs aren’t

[summer mural]

also he has those nipple horns just to really let people know hes not open to hugs

[frigid inlet]

Its the issue with heresy being a prequel

We know who lives and dies

[dapper gyro]

If people want to rage bait, they can also go away, no one force you to stay in this server, and you won't force anyone to discuss whatever neither.

[cinder pivot]

you're so fucking late

[surreal nest]

who is the objectively dumbest most half witted primarch

[cinder pivot]

lmao

[dapper gyro]

?

[summer mural]

morty?

[frigid inlet]

Truth nuke

[dapper gyro]

Late?

[surreal nest]

Fill me in

I want his biggest flop

[frigid inlet]

No morty is a whiny bitch

[summer mural]

well he is a whiny bitch yes

[frigid inlet]

Not as dumb as the all knowing magnus

[lament shoal]

He doesn't shower

[summer mural]

i dunno whos the "dumbest"

[frigid inlet]

Magnus

[summer mural]

maybe angron?

[frigid inlet]

Angron didnt have a choice

[surreal nest]

angron doesnt count

[dapper gyro]

Oh, I turned to my work windows for a moment.

[summer mural]

magnus had more reasons than morty did to do dumb shit

[languid meadow]

Unironically Russ because of Prospero

[summer mural]

well

[frigid inlet]

Russ is a dog, he follows orders

[languid meadow]

they're all dogs

[frigid inlet]

Yes but russ isn't a free thinker

He was told to kill magnus by horus and didnt question anything

[surreal nest]

i guess that makes him kinda stupid

[frigid inlet]

Even though dad said bring him back in chains

[frigid inlet]

Stupid or ignorant

Like a dog he follows his masters orders

[surreal nest]

for a space wolf both is a given

[frigid inlet]

Fair

But he wouldn't have gone to prospero if magnus wasnt stupid

[summer mural]

what about fulgrim

[frigid inlet]

They ruined his lore

In fulgrim it ends with a demon basically controlling fulgrim and making him watch

[valid needle]

All of the Primarchs are stupid for falling for chaos anyways

[summer mural]

khan is not stupid, hes got the right idea

[surreal nest]

not like the loyalists are better off at this point

[frigid inlet]

Very grimdark, but no we need fulgrim to be a willing participant

[summer mural]

hes partying with the drukhari in the webway

[frigid inlet]

True, im rereading scars rn

[shadow plover]

This also changes later on

before SoT

[valid needle]

Yes but how can you be such a fool to believe you can control 4 gods of murder, SA and general villainy.

HORUS

[frigid inlet]

Yes which is why its dumb

[shadow plover]

I prefer it not being a demon

[surreal nest]

Ok fair

[sacred ginkgo]

Because they were basically gods themselves

And hubris makes great storytelling

[frigid inlet]

It makes it more depressing, imagine killing your brother but not able to refuse

Or resist rather

Funny enough the 2 best written loyalist are bobby G and the khan

[shadow plover]

well when he killed Ferrus he wasn't yet the daemon, no?

[dapper gyro]

But he used a demonic weapon.

[summer mural]

well, guilliman is kinda de facto leader, and khan has the most individual common sense

[lament shoal]

This is pretty much how every chaos worshipper thinks. They believe that they were granted freedom, power, and control, when in reality they simply traded one master for a worse one

[frigid inlet]

As I understand the demon took control and flicked the wrist of the sword hand

[dapper gyro]

The demonic weapons usually host some pretty strong demons.

[shadow plover]

Hm could be, it has been years since I listened through Fulgrim

[frigid inlet]

It was a greater demon of slanesh

[shadow plover]

but he himself wasn't the daemon yet

[frigid inlet]

I could be wrong also, but its why he broke down and let the demon in, he got mind fucked

[dapper gyro]

Nope, but he was still juiced.

[shadow plover]

for sure

[frigid inlet]

I meant the daemon in the sword

[shadow plover]

I think it's good that he regains control but the way it was done was lackluster

[dapper gyro]

Much like how Roboute was using the flaming sword to kill demons. It wasn't at full power until the big E projected himself into Roboute.

[frigid inlet]

Reflection cracked is just bdsm

[summer mural]

also i like lorgar

[shadow plover]

to an extent

[frigid inlet]

Lorgar is a good villain

[summer mural]

lorgar seems like a cool villain

yeah

plus his character makes sense

his greivances are legitimate

[shadow plover]

Also Pert is the best written primarch

then Rob and Khan

[frigid inlet]

Well yes but actually no

[summer mural]

plus, i appreciate how lorgar was like the runtiest of the primarchs

[dapper gyro]

Chaos are not the only thing in the warp, and other warp entities themselves constantly fight against Chaos as well.

[frigid inlet]

Like he blamed g man for monarchia

Which wasnt g man's fault

He was just following orders and it wasnt personal

[shadow plover]

"just following orders" isn't really a great defense

[frigid inlet]

But lorgar struck malcador and g man in a baby rage

[summer mural]

well hes still a corrupted maniac, but i find his position a lot stronger than like, mortarions or fulgrims

[frigid inlet]

When the emperor of man tells you to do something you do it

[frigid inlet]

Yeah I agree

[shadow plover]

I guess but the ire against Bobby isn't unfounded in that case

[frigid inlet]

Have you read first heretic and betrayer?

[shadow plover]

yes

it's the best saga within the heresy

[frigid inlet]

Remeber when he yells at gman saying he was enjoying this?

[shadow plover]

Yes, he isn't correct in that assumption but the ire he feels against him is somewhat justified is what I mean

[frigid inlet]

Then on nuceria g man tells lorgar he was wrong and that g man felt bad but still loved lorgar as a brother

[frigid inlet]

I mean yeah if you're gonna blame anyone blame g man and the big e

[shadow plover]

yes, both are at fault

[frigid inlet]

Though malcador didnt deserve the back hand

[frigid inlet]

For what?

[shadow plover]

the destruction of monarchia

[summer mural]

its kinda sad lorgar doesnt come up much tbh

[frigid inlet]

It was that or full censure

[summer mural]

and the fact that he doesnt have the daemon primarch model

[shadow plover]

yes but he his justified in his anger nevertheless

[frigid inlet]

Yes but monarchia is justified in its self

Being upset you broke a rule doesnt make you justified when consequences occur

[shadow plover]

the consequences were very very extreme still

[frigid inlet]

in the context of the setting, no it made sense

he had told lorgar to stop

on many occasion

if monarchia was the first time then yeah thats extreme

but it was like the last straw kinda ordeal

[frigid inlet]

true, and then mega true on g man and the khan

perties primarch novel is 10/10

[valid needle]

Someone tell dorn his templar is showing again now he’s hinting for the second time he believes big e is a god.

[dapper gyro]

He thinks of it, but it doesn't at the same time. Being worthy and being 1 are different enough.

[valid needle]

I think dorn has an internal struggle between his beliefs and his duty to what he thinks his father wants him to be.

Just based on the how many times we’ve seen him change his personality and or give contradictory statements.

[dapper gyro]

That's the issue with most loyalists.

[valid needle]

Like also when he blows up and disowns Sigismund and then later says perhaps Sigismund was right, called Sigismund his best beloved son, gave him and his Templars his favourite ship, gave them the eternal crusade, made them codex exempt.

It’s like he has split personalities

[dapper gyro]

Roboute see the imperium as inefficient, his realm of Ultramar is so run a little differently, and takes a big region of the imperium space.

Corax wants to free people from slavery, but the Imperium is a slave state. RG chapters therefore often ignore requests from other Imperial forces if they think it is too oppressive and they are not liked.

Khan and Russ want to be carefree and enjoy life, but they are tied to their duty.

Vulkan is in the same situation, plus serve PTSD, questioning his own actions. After HH, he only shows up when absolutely needed.

Dark Angels just fight everyone... I have no comment.

[opaque coyote]

They even fight themselves

In fact they drop everything to do so

[dapper gyro]

Exactly

[shadow plover]

Thankfully the returned Lion era makes them more interesting now

[sour hornet]

just saw a guy with a chinese tattoo that means something like "demonic anus"

pretty sure thats not what he meant

[rocky gale]

Maybe it’s his nickname

[raven stone]

[dapper gyro]

Because silly BT knows that BT is silly.
Silly Sally doesn't know that Sally is not silly.

[valid needle]

Or how salamanders are the good guy, wholesome, caring and gentle protectors of humanity. Meanwhile the black Templars, who do everything every other chapters does but for the record did not stomp a child to death like the salamanders did, are the only chapter who are racist mega Uber fascist Nazis.

[green loom]

They probably have stomped children to death but that's true of practically all marines since they're

You know

Terror troops who love brutality and hate the nebulous "traitor"

[dapper gyro]

RG is nicer than Sally, but even them.

[storm jungle]

the idea of the Raven Guard is so stupid tbh

[vagrant fox]

my heckin' wholesome lamenters, their warcry is made up and they ate people on Badab

[storm jungle]

"We fight againts tyrants and help rebellions"

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

God I love that SnipeWib video so much

it started like a mini civil war in the fandom wiki

[vagrant fox]

It's very good, funniest thing I ever saw that week

[storm jungle]

Yeah for like over 3 weeks the wiki kept changing the warcry from "Unknown" to back to the cherishgloryblabla thing constantly.

[vagrant fox]

Yeah last I looked the entry was locked from being edited

[storm jungle]

YEP

Because it legit got very heated

since half the wiki is run by hardcore space marine fans who are like ex-military or fucked in the head.

So they really like standing against sensible things

[valid needle]

My based and true Nightlords❤️

We out here skinning babies frfr on big god khorne

[green loom]

They're nicer on paper but then they're horrible extreme hypocrites that eclipse the average imperial and are still pretty brutal murderers

[storm jungle]

^

its also just an aspect thats basically never explored like the Salamanders for obvious reasons.

It took us 9 editions to ge ta lore entry where it establishes Salamanders might have to burn people alive, and its just 1 Company.

[green loom]

Like being the biggest hypocrite in the room is a feat when it's effectively an imperial necessity

[raven stone]

It's all about perspective

[valid needle]

Salamanders are only relatively nice to humans who accepted compliance. We can’t speak of what they did to the human worlds who didn’t immediately accept the imperium.

[green loom]

They murdered them

Since yakno, that was standard procedure lmao

[storm jungle]

We literally cant since it barely goes into it yeah lol

[vagrant fox]

It's a weird 40k fan thing, in the GC Sanguinius offers a planet one chance to surrender or total obliteration if they don't accept
So he orders the death of every soul on the planet but you know, Sanguinius is very wholesome also

[green loom]

It's funny when people like rank the Primarchs on how bad they were, like we're fr trying to rank Rudolf Hess and Adolf Eichmann or something

[storm jungle]

like I love my "nice" space marines but even my heroic homebrew Chapter the Aurum Sons literally gathers people they deem "scum" like slaves in abduction actions and holds them in statis-crypts under their fortress-monastery to feed on them later to sate the black rage/red thrist

[green loom]

"Sanguinius was too good for us" nooo he wasn't, oh my Lord no he wasn't

[idle phoenix]

Crimson Fists represent

[valid needle]

Le big nice chungus good guy nice and caring wholesome only use force when they have no choice love all of humanity and never harm anyone marines

[idle phoenix]

And you know who never skinned a lil one? Custodes, gottem

[storm jungle]

Yeah because they just shoot them instead

its easier

[dapper gyro]

The RG ignores helping and saving people because they usually want to aim for the enemy weak point, which take way more time, and by the time they are done, heavy damage is done to the human. If they fail, it is usually the sweep of the human colony.

[storm jungle]

thats the one

[queen laurel]

third company moment

[storm jungle]

a lot of Sally fans got mad at that lore lmao

I say they can eat dirt tbh

[queen laurel]

what is written is written

[storm jungle]

[green loom]

They save the imperial citizens from the evil Tau fr, now they can return to their giga death factory pulping the corpses of dead humans for food

[storm jungle]

LMAO

its one aspect thats also never explored yeah

Good job Ultramarines you saved this planet!

[idle phoenix]

why dont we just eat the Tau? Theyre bovine right?

[storm jungle]

Now its population can go back to propagating chaos and genestealer cults because your society is terrible!

[storm jungle]

I think we can test by eating you first

https://tenor.com/view/mukbang-food-mukbang-gifs-asmr-mukbang-korean-food-gif-22938087

[idle phoenix]

Nah I'm gamey and salty

[raven stone]

You know, on that note...Humans joining Tau, or Tau Humans re-joining Imperium can make for fun plots (even if end results are usually grim stupid)

[idle phoenix]

Tau tho, they're blue and bovine

[queen laurel]

they're sapient thinking creatures why would you eat them

[storm jungle]

the latter is not an option

[idle phoenix]

cause im hungry

[storm jungle]

you just get shot

[dapper gyro]

That reminds me of the Korean chic eating octopus alive...

[storm jungle]

oh god 💀

[raven stone]

Not if they surrender to jurisdiction of a canny and daring Rogue Trader...

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

What's that one quote, don't cross the territory of mankind we have inhumanity to spare

they'll kill your ass

[storm jungle]

yeah like memes aside

you do not surrender to the Imperium

you shoot yourself

[raven stone]

Rogue Traders: bravely daring the lines of heresy if only for their own profit!

[idle phoenix]

The only come back is the Emperor's Grace (a bullet to the head)

[storm jungle]

or uh

going to die in a penal camp

[queen laurel]

eat a grox. though i suppose being a marine makes you no longer human

[storm jungle]

which is literally just a concentration camp

lol

[green loom]

Well it's the Imperium, practically everything is on the menu

[dapper gyro]

Nah, I rather keep a grenade with me.

[idle phoenix]

Better than marine, a custodes

[queen laurel]

then eat a grox you can afford food

[idle phoenix]

I mean people get upset hearing "eat the Tau" brother everyone's some part cannibal, and there are beloved marine chapters who practice eating people

[vagrant fox]

I do wonder how sweetmeats taste, maybe a bit like liver

[green loom]

I feel like we're past the "not eating humans" mark since the average imperial's diet is probably recycled human

[idle phoenix]

Damnit, you're right.

[raven stone]

Such an ugly word, it is "re-education" 😛

https://youtu.be/Iyy7cP8jZb4?feature=shared

[queen laurel]

like bro why go through the trouble of eating tau when you could just order take out

[idle phoenix]

You got me, plus one to you, Ork

[storm jungle]

oh my god a New Colossus joke in 2025? Nice

[dapper gyro]

Young Blood killed the franchise, do you think?

[queen laurel]

it's not eating recycled human it's government mandated cannibalism

[storm jungle]

"Only 173 days left of English"

god i forgot that bit

[raven stone]

Some jokes are eternal, and TBH you gave the perfect launching point XD

[green loom]

Prolly not tbh but I doubt we'll see anything for a while.... Considering... Yeah

[raven stone]

They got the Skull Face VA to play the game host no less

[storm jungle]

I WAS GONNA SAY, I know that voice anywhere

[rose thorn]

No new space marine reveal yet, are we finally in an AOS era

We’re free

Until next week

[vagrant fox]

another space marine lieutenant

[storm jungle]

I love how uppity people get when you make this joke when like

there really is like 12 lieutenant minis arent there?

[left talon]

The blood ravens are too good at making marines get the spotlight

[storm jungle]

they are very good at being decimated its true

[vagrant fox]

2 years ago it was 15, who knows how much it has multiplied since

[queen laurel]

space marine fans home brewing their own unique chapter ( it's just generic Mary Sue garbage )

[left talon]

True

Mine are literally just blood ravens but the colours are raven guard and iron warriors shoved together it’s peak

[vagrant fox]

It's troublesome, I'm constantly unhappy with the one I have for being too generic but I don't want it to be too extraordinary

[near wasp]

I haven't put any thought into making a marine chapter

I've got a chaos warband I'm working on but ehhh

[left talon]

Yeah I already have an idea for some CSM so needed some Marines to go against them

[storm jungle]

If you want tips ask me, I can help

ive been making 40k homebrew for over 10 years lol

I got like 4 marine chapters

(and tons of other imperial/alien characters and their own factions)

[queen laurel]

Can i make marines called the golden giants and just have them be giant marines colored in gold and each one the size of ogryns

[near wasp]

@storm jungle she's a marine fan get her!

[vital ginkgo]

In the blood angels series why is kazarion's right shoulder pad blacked out?

I assume it has something to do with the deathwatch but he still has the blood angel logo

[rose thorn]

i use to be super pushing for homebrew chapters but like literally every space marine chapter idea has been done lmao

so ive given up on making homebrew space marines

[near wasp]

Or he just doesn't want to wear personal herealdry

[queen laurel]

dude she doesn't hate marines as in like the actual marines in 40K because they can be cool what she hates are the people and the way GW handles them

This has been like known for a long time

[rose thorn]

he could have gone to death watch out of shame or punishment or he believes he is close to the black rage

[near wasp]

I know bulgar I'm joking

[rose thorn]

is my guess anwyay

[vital ginkgo]

Are black armor pieces a thing for the death company? Or it was just his personal choice to represent his rage?

[rose thorn]

black armor is a death company thing but if only his shoulder is black then its probably a personal choice

[near wasp]

Black with a red x

[rose thorn]

yeah

[vital ginkgo]

Ok I see

Thanks 👍

[left talon]

10 damn

[storm jungle]

I like all factions.

[left talon]

I like all factions

If I don’t they go in the hated section

[storm jungle]

I hate space marines from a commercial standpoint, I like them in the lore.

[left talon]

Which they only go as far down as Disliked which is when I wanna seperate them from the ones I’m neutral on

[vagrant fox]

I only really struggle with liking Tyranids other than conceptually but there's still neat bits to them

[left talon]

I love Tyranids I love how serious some designs are and then the next one is a crawling bug with armour with a massive gun strapped to it

[rose thorn]

i would be okay with spacemarine over exposure if there was like 5 more non imperium non space marine factions

[rose thorn]

which they could do by splitting up aeldar back into 3 factions then idk,

[vagrant fox]

Yeah I've been playing the 40k TTRPGs since like 2010 so there's no issue making characters but the rest is iffy
The general outline is it's a Raven Guard nomad fleet that got sick and tired of having no supplies so they killed a low strength Ultramarine successor and took their place. Now they hate the Imperium for being moral degenerates and weak but they're stuck because of a bargain they made with the Inquisition to cover up their tracks
Come being stuck on the wrong side of Nihilus they just fully let loose and go full warlord
Other than that I'm just not happy with names or symbols or anything

So I've just gone to other parts of the sector I'm making, planets can be fun to describe

[left talon]

I mean we have Chaos,Tau,Necrons,Tyranids,Orks,Eldar,Votann and probably something I’m forgetting

We have a decent few so far

[rose thorn]

the only non space marine faction left in chaos is chaos knights

[left talon]

I just think they need some more models in the tyranid section

With how they are there’s plenty of ways they could be done that just aren’t

[vagrant fox]

Ideally, there'd be more focus on non-marine stuff but it sells by the shitload so it's what GW markets

I love my World Eaters, maybe my favourites, but I want more non-marine chaos

[left talon]

The non imperium and chaos stuff in my local shop (it’s small but no excuses) is like 30 or 35 models depending on whether the new stuff includes Xenos

[rose thorn]

idk if i want the chaos guard army, a non space marine cahso, but i wanna spite boomers

whats it called

[left talon]

That’s 7 factions ish

[rose thorn]

renegades and

[storm jungle]

Right so I actually love this concept, the thing I do completely get though is the name/symbol making, thats like one of THE parts I also struggled more with my Chapters lol

I at least can kinda am apt at photo editing so I can steal/edit symbols

(its still very hard to come up with good logos)

[left talon]

Damn that’s more thought than mine

[vagrant fox]

I thought about adopting Ostrogoth culture/icons to mimic the barbarian inheritors subdueing Roman culture but it also feels tacky, but appropriately 40k I guess

[rose thorn]

8 xenos, 6 chaos, 6 imperium, 11imperium space marine factions

unless we dont count the ones that dont have a codex

[vagrant fox]

40kify this bird, jazz it up a little with some throwbacks to 30k symbolism

[storm jungle]

YEEE

Basically minimalist logos is king

take some of those and vector thme

[rose thorn]

then its 7 space marine factions

imperium space mairnes*

[left talon]

Damn in my store the Imperium and Chaos get Atleast 100 models through combat patrols having ones that aren’t there which is 3 times more than the 6 Xenos factions

[rose thorn]

yeah

[vagrant fox]

The only real fluff I wrote for the chapter is them executing the nobles on the planetary capital of the sector and going on a full-on Disco Elysium Measurehead rant about moral degeneracy and weakness

and then getting clowned on by some eldar

[rose thorn]

if we organize by species

8 xenos (2 are eldar), 12 humans, 11 space marine factions with codexes

if you coudnt custodies as space marines

then its 11 humans 12 space marines

er, talons of the emperor

(hell)

to be fiar aos has too many aelves

4 aelf factions and 3 duardin

[left talon]

Yeah but they Atleast have great designs over in AOS for every faction

Over here they are very similar

[rose thorn]

oh yeah humans have, 6 factions in aos

which is meh because most of htem are a combination of humans and demons and beasts

stormcasts arent humans*

[vagrant fox]

tbh it's harder to come up with a good craftworld eldar name

I do understand, I enjoy space marines but they hog a little too much of the limelight

[celest dome]

Do you count Warrior of Chaos as not human too?

[rose thorn]

S2D? they have humans, darkoath

idk if you count demonically ascended people as humans

ill ask

okay yeah chaos warriors/s2d are humans stil

just on that chaos protien powder

[spring cairn]

craftworld eldar city

here u go

[rose thorn]

slaves to darkness, hedonties of slaanesh, blades of khrone, disciples of tzeentch, maggotkin of nurgle, and cities of sigmar are all mostly (and the only) human factions in aos

which matches up with lore

since like 90% of humans are chaos

[rose thorn]

what does your craftworld do?

[rose thorn]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[storm jungle]

HAHAHA

GOT YOUR ASS

"Purchase more space marines."

"Space marines are freedom"

still think htat black templars shhouldnt have thier own codex

codex suppliment*

[valid needle]

Why

Explain

[forest orbit]

I agree, id rather wish they included all these in like a bigger main Space Marine codex.

it just has so much bloat as well

[valid needle]

So dark angels shouldn’t have a codex

Nor blood angels

[forest orbit]

Yes?

[valid needle]

Nor any chapter with unique models

[forest orbit]

...Yes?

[queen laurel]

yes

[forest orbit]

Idk why these points need repeating.

lmao

[valid needle]

Do you know how large a book would need to be to cover every single chapter with unique models?

Since that’s usually who gets codex supplements

Not to mention the price would be sky high and who really wants to pay for a combined codex of chapters they don’t even play. Wouldn’t make sense.

[forest orbit]

I'm very much aware, id still take it over the mess we got right now.

[forest orbit]

Hobby is already pretty expensive and I say this as a guy that has a huge BT army, I dont think it matters at this point

[valid needle]

It does if we’re combining multiple 30 quid books into one that would most likely cost hundreds. When the only codex’s you really need are the faction you play and the specific chapter if it has unique units.

[forest orbit]

They'd gauge the pricing for that factor tbh, GW is more than aware of the statistics in how much of a quantity people buy this stuff.

[vagrant fox]

Supplements aren't very long are they, but even then if you stack five ~100 page books ontop of the codex it gets girthy

[storm jungle]

^

This is a very fair point imo

[forest orbit]

I got a couple I bought for my friends yeah id say you'd need to cut out some bits but like considering how much modern codexes has streamlined I guess most wouldnt even care lol

[storm jungle]

I was gonna say lmao

[valid needle]

BT codex is 96 and DA is 98. Size of a combined codex plus basically paying for every army when you really only play one or two just doesn’t seem worth it when you can grab a main codex and supplement for most likely a fraction of the price.

[storm jungle]

modern codexes are like extremely streamlined

the space marine codexes could deffo use it

not like anyone reads them

[vagrant fox]

I haven't played tabletop since like 5th ed so I don't really know what the codexes are like outside of reading the fluff anymore

[forest orbit]

since 5th ed

oof

[valid needle]

Painting guides, stats, all of their rules and lore.

[vagrant fox]

Sounds like more of the same but if they've steamlined it maybe they could trim some of the fat, Idk

[forest orbit]

All you'd need is the 5-6 pages of datasheets per Chapter

but of course this would make some people upset lmao

[vagrant fox]

Blood Angels are fairly codex compliant iirc so maybe they don't need it, I doubt it honestly

[forest orbit]

and I say this as a templar player since the armageddon days lol

[vagrant fox]

I can see a case for space wolves and templars for being outliers but whatever, I'll take what gets me the most lore

[vagrant fox]

4th was my introduction to the setting
old man yelling about the setting getting worse and such

the woke and women and such

[forest orbit]

Hate it 😔

[forest orbit]

Tbh thats kinda the thing.

We dont even have any good/proper lore anymore.

modern codexes cut out/re-use so much lore and art

[storm jungle]

Prob one of the worst parts of them ngl

[vagrant fox]

It seemed like that last time I looked at a codex, older stuff popped in to fill space

Gathering Storm had some cool art though

[storm jungle]

Tbh thats 8th edition

that was like some TOP tier artwork/lore

for all rulebooks of that time that is

[vagrant fox]

I also might be misremembering, I just think it was some 10th edition rulebook with cool art

[rose thorn]

They aren’t a founding chapter and there is other founding chapters that are non codex complaint

Salamanders and white scars for example

I get that black Templars existed as a concept since HH but that new lore

[valid needle]

What founding you are holds no sway on if they get a codex. A codex is usually given to factions with unique units so in reality a 20th founding chapter could get a codex if they have unique units.

[vagrant fox]

The Flesh Tearers had a codex at some point I recall

[valid needle]

Not new lore. Black Templars existed since 3rd edition.

[rose thorn]

I mean their in universe existence

[valid needle]

M31

Rogal dorn founded the black Templars immediately after the Horus heresy from the then Templar Brethren 1st company.

[rose thorn]

Yeha and they don’t anymore

[forest orbit]

Its not really about unique units

[forest orbit]

They get unique codexes and even more investment because people love knight templars

their fanbase is terrible but they make money

so I get why GW pushes them

[rose thorn]

Good point

[forest orbit]

theres a reason they outshine the Fists

[forest orbit]

Yeah basically its the reality of it.

[valid needle]

Just called yourself terrible💀

[forest orbit]

I mean yeah lol

is that a bad thing

😂

Ive been in this fandom for years, I do not like the BT fandom

[queen laurel]

i mean i feel like that's common sense because if I just say that work fans cannot be annoying I'm just lying

[valid needle]

Also imperial fists lost all their flavour when the 2nd founding was made so it makes sense why they have such a backseat role.

Black Templars were the legions veterans
Crimson fists were the legions newest marines
Imperial fist the successor chapter was what was left over from the legion.

We don’t talk about soul drinkers

[forest orbit]

They lost their flavor because they arent really invested in as a Chapter

it has nothing to do with lore

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/akira-leave-me-alone-leave-me-alone-meme-gif-6420351794930725971

[forest orbit]

(considering all that shit is made up on the spot anyway)

Theres no thing as a bad concept, only a lack of or just simply bad execution.

Imperial Fists are one of these

[valid needle]

Hey at least black Templars themselves have successor chapters. That at least should make them having a codex feel better.

[rose thorn]

Do BT have successors? I thought they just go on their own crusades

Crusade (insert name)

[valid needle]

Knights ophidian confirmed and silver guard suspected

[rose thorn]

Huh neat

[forest orbit]

Yeah it was made by a GW employee for an online post

if you didnt see that you'd have no idea they exist

but ye Succs can make their own Succs if they are big

[valid needle]

Silver guard are a lot more established but again they are just suspected not confirmed

[valid needle]

Rogal dorn watching his favourite sons get sons of their own

[rose thorn]

I should read more about IF since to my surprise my favorite chapter is a son of dorn

[forest orbit]

Just go read their fandom wiki page

[valid needle]

What chapter?

[forest orbit]

thats kinda it really, they are pretty basic

[valid needle]

Do not read wiki page

Lexicanum if anything but not the wiki it’s highly inaccurate

Lexicanum at least make you provide sources

[forest orbit]

Its good for detailed reading if you just want walls of copy-pasted text from codexes.

[rose thorn]

Exorcists

[valid needle]

Based

Side note it’s always a son of dorn chapter doing the wildest shit💀

[rose thorn]

I mainly like them because they are greyknights with the aesthetic of word bearers, who’s my favorite legion

[valid needle]

Yeah exorcists are based

Creepy as shit

But based none the less

legit got no idea why these people do this to themselves lol

[queen laurel]

I think the most invested I am on gambling is with darktide and vermintide with weapons

so many materials and money wasted

[wintry scarab]

The only real gambling ive ever done was when i was like 6 on one of these things.

And i dont regret a penny to this day. That shit had my 6 year old brain hooked. My mum had to pry me away lol

[near wasp]

Any time I find a slot machine in a game I go right to it

[vagrant fox]

I had a phase of light gambling because I kept getting close to winning before I figured that's probably intentional

Otherwise, gambling without real money is decent fun at times

Is there a faction in warhammer based around Priesthood/Religious sect. Not through just the idea of treating emporer as God but through say, bald heads, obviously priestly features, bald heads, heavy symbolism within the figures, robes, books, prayer beads etc

[rose thorn]

admech

[tight stratus]

As I know lots of imperium treat emporer as God but I meant more religious inclined

[celest dome]

Cawdor gang

Or in BF/AoS you have the Warrior Priest

[rose thorn]

no?

oh zealots

i mean cities ehh

stormcasts are very roman

but there isnt like a hardcore catholic monk vibe

[vagrant fox]

I was about to say Frateris Militia

[tight stratus]

Thats a shame I was hoping there was a hardcore catholic monk vibe

[celest dome]

Literally mean the Warrior Priests, not the Stormcasts

[queen laurel]

house cawdor inn necromunda

[tight stratus]

these are pretty cool on the left, I reckon I could maybe get them to a more fancy standard than their more ruffian depictions here

[queen laurel]

well they are economically speaking the poorest house in necromunda

they are literally religious crazy people that scavenge everything they have

[vagrant fox]

Classic goober, this

[rose thorn]

they arent in aos, warrior priests dont have models with rules yet

[tight stratus]

what is this image

[rose thorn]

i mean in aos, in 40k half of the imperium

sisters is nuns with guns

admech is robot catholic monks

[queen laurel]

Excelsior Warpriest

[rose thorn]

not have rules yet hes only in silvertower

[vagrant fox]

I do like these guys, does the weapon make sense no not at all but it's cool

[queen laurel]

That's what they are in AOS

[rose thorn]

also pretty sure that guy specifically is dead and is a stormcast now

the specific named dude

[tight stratus]

Thats acutally pretty tasteful. My big problem with admech is they should have gone with the less is more. And instead went with everything is everything.

Models are way too busy and complex that it turns to mush for my eyes to glance at

[queen laurel]

lore maggie lore

they are the warrior priest

[rose thorn]

you cant buy the model

is what im saying

Ortam sallismar is dead

he doesnt have a rep in the game yet

[queen laurel]

Yeah but like

Weren't they asking if the faction is there

I was just pointing it out that the faction is a thing but you can't of course buy the model

but to be fair they aren't really a faction

[rose thorn]

yeh a single model without rules cities is mostly like every european empire combined

[queen laurel]

warpriest are like

just a group really

[tight stratus]

I might just try and see if I can get some little religious bits and do my geneestealers up to look more holy / priestly with a nice black/hints of gold and white paint jobs

Please don't be flayed ones.
There's flayed ones.
Fuck!

[opaque coyote]

So in the middle of your absolute agony

Just

Shove the Lasgun in your mouth

Bang

Should be psychologically easier given the fact that you just got shot with a Deldar weapon

Of course if you were a regular guardsman. You definitely wouldn't know rhis

But this is all theoretical anyways

[near wasp]

Don't let curze here you say that

[paper haven]

I sort of assume the agony of a deldar weapon makes it impossible to move enough to shoot yourself

Although if I have the ability to still shoot, I'm just gonna keep shooting Eldar.

[near wasp]

Off to the racks with you

[opaque coyote]

And also Chaos.

Still terrifying, fate worse than death, etc.

[paper haven]

Whatever they do to me does not match what the ones I kill are experiencing from Slaanesh

[opaque coyote]

Btt

They are obvious

Emotional

Necrons have none (mostly)

They are harder to kill than Deldar or even Chaos

[paper haven]

My primitive human mind does in fact have an upwards limit to how much it can suffer.

[opaque coyote]

So

And also their weapons are still painful

You will feel your molecules fucking disassemble

Facing like hundreds of thousands of Terminator T-1000 (or maybe T-X, that would probably be more accurate) basically would be terrifying

[paper haven]

That does suck.

[opaque coyote]

Speaking of which. The T-X was a cool idea

Like I always wondered why there wasn't a Terminator that like

Stored a plasma rifle inside of their arm or something

Gotta make sure John Connor is 100%

Dead

Disintegrated

[opaque coyote]

The wildest part is that

The video game and the anime shows that

Terminator actually still has story potential

Yes there is a Terminator anime.

Yeah it is actually pretty good

[paper haven]

[opaque coyote]

A unique part of it is being set in Japan (OH MAH GOD JAPAN, PLACE!!?)

But there is actually a cool reason besides it being anime (tm)

Basically the lack of easily accessible guns due to it no longer being in America

Both the Terminator and the Time Travelers don't have them

So the Terminator literally uses a makeshift crossbow

He literally just makes one

Attaches it to his arm

And all of his kills are fucking brutal

Because he literally does shit like crushing people's skulls

The classic donut (tm)

Etc.

There's more to the anime than that. But it does genuinely make the T-800 fucking terrifying once again

[paper haven]

Is there a duel with samurai swords?

[opaque coyote]

Nope because it's like 1990s japan

Shockingly enough, not everybody has a katana

Mostly bats and fists

Occasionally a revolver stolen from the police (on the Terminator's part)

Since Japanese police mainly use revolvers due to the lack of guns in Japan

So they don't need like high firepower

If that makes sense

Also less jamming

[opaque coyote]

Here is an example: https://youtu.be/8EmCLfimAhM?si=9v-QoMqSgl-5-T3i

I don't think it's as good as like

The first two films

But it is definitely much better than 3+

And I'm not saying that because it takes place in Place, Japan

[rocky gale]

You were about to get "Thing in Japan" meme'd

[opaque coyote]

It's good for what it tries and puts it's own spin on the Terminator formula

...

Without failing miserably

Most important part

[surreal nest]

Ok i dont understand space marines can somebody explain what the point of the different companies are just in a generalized sense

[opaque coyote]

And unironically the best the franchise has got since the second movie

[surreal nest]

are they like different types of units seperated like some companies are heavier power some companies are scouts, terminators etc

[opaque coyote]

Companies are similar to regiments basically

Each with their own different roles

The roles vary depending on the chapter

But it's similar to how militaries today have like

A tank regiment

[surreal nest]

oh that's awesome

[opaque coyote]

Heavy weapons

Etc.

[surreal nest]

thats what i figured

[opaque coyote]

For example on differences

Salamanders have a company specifically made for dealing with riots

...

Using flamethrowers

And by riots I mean like

Wide spread rebellion

[surreal nest]

So what company would a Reiver typically fit into?

[median star]

expect iron hands every company or as they refer to them 'clan' is fully independent of one another and all have their own armoury including ships tanks and terminator besides dorrvok which is their 10th company equivalent which is soley scouts

[vagrant fox]

Reivers are close support afaik, so whichever company fields those

so in the above, 2nd to 5th and 8th

But non codex compliant chapters can do things very differently

yea

[dapper gyro]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Close_Support_Squad

Close support role is usually up there in the front, but not the main firepower nor holding objectives.

[celest willow]

Hey does anybody feel like all the son’s of dorn seem to be like the exact opposite of him

[celest dome]

Compared to the Black Templars ?

[opaque coyote]

"I know you were about to kill him. But you didn't need to insult his mom like that man."

[dapper gyro]

The support company doesn't actually hold support units. Support company is mostly for training then pass on to frontline company to refill the number.

[opaque coyote]

Also zoom into the Xeno dialogue

There is actually a translation

[dapper gyro]

Yes, IF successors are all over the place.

[opaque coyote]

"Greetings human! It is an honor to have you on our planet! We look forward to hosting you and your retinue at our homes! After a feast, we will share you our archeotech! We have many safely stored STCs that we have recovered! They have been stored for the Imperium!"

This is what the alien said

[lament shoal]

Anyone know how good genestealer cults are on tabletop?

[languid meadow]

last I heard they were decent no?

I could be wrong

nvm

they uh
