No not really

They all pretty much exemplify different parts of him

celest willow
#

The fists ahem

valid needle

valid needle
#

I spoke about this earlier today actually

#

There’s times where he directly contradicts himself or times where his personality fully changes

celest dome
#

Thr Sons of Dorn and the Black Templar are more about what state of mind lead to Dorn fall in the Iron fortress thingy

valid needle
#

The stoic no nonsense dorn is really a mask he puts up but we’ve seen that mark slip plenty times

valid needle
#

He showed absolute zealous rage when he heard Horus turned traitor

#

There’s accounts of him fighting in battles and surpassing even Sigismund and dorns templar brethren in his zealousness and fight.

#

Infact Dorn has also directly contradicted himself and hinted he believes the emperor is a god twice now off the top of my head

#

From the flight of the Eisenstein when Garro met Dorn and spoke of chaos.

Dorn sighed. ‘The Emperor has no like, Loken. There are no gods in this hollow universe to keep him company. So he made us, demigods, to stand beside him. I have never quite come to terms with my status. Does that surprise you? I see what I am capable of, and what is expected of me, and I shudder. The mere fact of me frightens me sometimes. Do you think your lord Horus ever feels that way?’

#

From the index Astartes 2

#

Dorn is a very contradictory character and seems to bounce between two personalities and beliefs. I think the stoic classic Dorn is a mask he puts up. The Dorn we see in Eisenstein. In the scouring, in the iron cage. IMO is the real Dorn.

#

Also

#

It would explain why he favourited the black Templars over all his other second foundings.

#

As they are now named as his favoured scions in the codex

storm jungle
#

especially since all of them have their own takes on the caracter

#

but people kinda handwave it when its just inconsistent writing

surreal nest
#

Do you guys think hive cities are a necessary thing that the imperium has to do or the imperium just doesnt give a fuck enough to make better environments

#

Idk how to phrase this question just genuinely curious as the necessity of hive cities as they seem obscenely cruel

arctic talon
#

they've just degraded

#

Necromunda used to be a lot nicer

#

before they yknow, tried to fight back against the imperium during the great crusade

#

and then got their teeth kicked in

#

and then they got attacked by warp horrors

storm jungle
#

Yeah hive cities are not necessary.

#

they are made because its how humans evolve/build

#

we gather and just reach for the sky as we make structures

#

theres a reason Kowloon here gets mentioned a lot every time this is brought up.

arctic talon
#

Hive cities were just a natural development during the DAOT

surreal nest
#

Ok awesome I am having another argument with a dude who thinks the imperium does what's necessary and I wanted to make sure my understanding of how fucking stupid hive cities were before I cited it

storm jungle
#

Oh fuck off lol

arctic talon
#

Hive cities aren't really the imperiums fault

#

at all

#

ironically

#

They're to the great benefit of the imperium though

i always vividly remember that pink smoke idk why

its a really bright color in a really monotone war scene/camp

so prob why

arctic talon
#

it pops

#

Shame we had a whole era of games with the fucking green filter

#

lol

#

puke green and piss filter

#

you couldn't fucking escape it

#

I know it was to hide low resolution textures and it was a really smart bypass but still lol

storm jungle
#

god

#

💀

arctic talon
#

like I totally get why they did it but god

#

it was kind of uhh

storm jungle
#

the thing is

#

it was a different time

#

and literally nobody complained

#

we look at it from a different lens (literally) now

#

lol

arctic talon
#

I thought Modern Warfare 2 was peak graphics TopKekSphere

storm jungle
#

also looking at some of thes games which I played uh

#

the funniest one on there is RES5

#

because the devs actually put a piss filter on the game

#

when you remove it, its VIBRANT and really good

#

genuinely looks great which is depressing lol

arctic talon
#

yeah but the thing is

storm jungle
#

no

arctic talon
#

they wanted to hide lower res textures

#

Which is a shame

#

because I would have taken seeing lower res textures over the "gritty" filter

#

lol

#

can somebody genuinely explain to me how humanity's evils are necessary because im getting annoyed

#

is it not true that like 80% of humanity's problems came from their own decisions and expansionist mindset

storm jungle
#

Kind of

surreal nest
#

like the unification wars and the fucking men of iron and the tyranids

storm jungle
#

So okay

#

We literally basically know nothing about what caused the Men of Iron rebellion, like zero since its never been fully explained yet.

#

The Tyranids though yeah entirely space marine induced

surreal nest
#

i just mean the humans invented them rght?

storm jungle
#

Yeah AI helpers essentially.

surreal nest
#

just like how inventing the primarchs blew up in their face

#

its always a decision from humanity

storm jungle
#

Thats another can of worms but basically.

#

If you wanna see how much of a genius the Emperor truly is go read the last church.

#

At the end of the day he was always a dumbass tyrant.

#

his ultimate defense was "I know im right."

surreal nest
#

from all i've read and seen he just is a fucking moron evil dumbass its insane

#

how does in lore propaganda work on people irl bro

storm jungle
#

Its 50/50. A lot of authors try to portray him as a hero with good intentions that met a tragic end while others portray him as a complete dumbass and monster.

#

Abnett is one of these people lol

surreal nest
#

maybe im just woke but I feel like your space empire doesnt deserve to survive if it means the subjugation of trillions of people

storm jungle
#

I mean no it doesnt.

#

the Imperium is better off extinct, but its all too late now

valid needle
surreal nest
#

literally what im saying and people are always like "ummm but chaos is evil shouldnt the imperium defend itself"

storm jungle
#

Also another thing

#

literally nothing was stopping the Emperor from forming a federation.

#

or like just leaving species/civilizations that didnt wanna join the Imperium alone.

surreal nest
#

kill them!

storm jungle
#

He basically chose the side of complete galactic genocide

surreal nest
#

yeah the unification wars sound like a bunch of baloney to me

#

idk how people cite that as a positive

storm jungle
#

It was basically a HOI4 match

#

except everyone had WMDs

storm jungle
#

hence my HOI4 example

surreal nest
#

i can appreciate that warhammer 40k is a dog eat dog universe but i feel like the imperium is just an uroboros by extension of that

It is as per GW.

We got this pinned on this channel since the day it was made.

#

ruined another hobby of mine....

storm jungle
#

Also if you look at the date

#

it was made during the time of the BLM riots

which was creating a lot of division at the time

#

and uhhh certain "views"

surreal nest
#

i know companies are companies but i like this

#

If you come to a Games Workshop event or store and behave to the contrary, including wearing the symbols of real-world hate groups, you will be asked to leave. We won't let you participate. We don’t want your money. We don’t want you in the Warhammer community.

#

this is cool

storm jungle
#

Its basically corpo-talk but the thing is corpotalk is good when its actually not cringe and also supportive.

#

they want you to buy their products and enjoy the hobby

#

so it makes sense somewhat

surreal nest
#

they pick their battles for sure. they've probably realized that having some fuckwit drooler in their store wearing an iron cross hurts the community more than helps

storm jungle

Yeah that was a seperate incident

which they also made an announcement for

# storm jungle he kills like 10 corrupt cops in a loading dock

You know what the problem is with society. When someone steps in to stop a violent crime the population will jump on the guy taking down criminal scum and say silly shit like oh the guy had mental health issues, he was homeless and that’s why he killed that girl. Then they will crucify the person who steps in to strangle the person out.

# frail yoke In general or in one adaptation?

My issue is basically hes stuck in a limbo, he can never permanently stop his criminals who will always break and kill people because we need his supervillains for future comic issues

Okay, so do they do if a BT space marines becomes a psyker?

They use navigators and that's about it iirc

Uhh

Exile/execution most likely staregryn

It may also be worth mentioning they see astropaths and navigators as divine beings

Is a navigator a mutant or a psyker?

It is uncertain how, or when, the Black Templars ceased to field
Librarians, for with their disappearance, much of the Chapter’s
history was also lost. Outsiders suggest that as the Chapter came
to worship the Emperor as a god, they took his decree at the
Edict of Nikaea to disband their Librarius divisions as holy law.
Others whisper that the Black Templars’ gene-seed has somehow
deteriorated, or that their Librarians were slain during a great
war in the Chapter’s history. Some scholars point to the Black
Templars’ final battle to end the Catelexis Heresy of M34, and
the apocalyptic psychic death-screams that tore through the
warp after the slaying of the Cacodominus, as another possible
explanation. Whatever the truth, the Black Templars have come
to accept the loss of their Librarians as part of the Emperor’s
divine plan. If the Emperor decides to once again bless the Black
Templars with Librarians, they will embrace it, but until that
day, they will wage battle without these powerful warriors at
their side.

In Broken Crusade that specific fleet seems to see all psykers as necessary evil at best and something to kill normally

I'm pretty sure they would never raise a hand to a sanctioned psyker

They don’t

Sanctioned are fine

That's like a decree from big e himself

It’s rogue and unsanctioned psykers they persecute

Otherwise they would be warring with cousin chapters and even brother chapters

Is Dan Abnett accurate in that inquisitorial psykers can only be so powerful to be allowed as inquisitors?

I vaguely remember reading a novel long time ago about the nightlords using something called a Chainglaive

Jokes aside you definitely can

Just

Attach the chain blade to the end of the long stick

I think that's how the Chain Glaive works

That’s a sword though

They actually don't know how to make a regular chainsaw

That's why the chainaxe exists

They forgot how to make a regular chainsaw

Kinda like this or something, a fanart of Asterion I think made by Z-bozi, its a snippet so the pictures a bit bigger

Na chainaxes were used by even the Sons of Horus and they had no supply issues
In terms of ttrpgs the chainaxe just did more damage but aren't balanced so they suck a bit to parry with

More importantly

yes, many power swords are modeled after the gladius

opaque coyote

Are there chain and powered versions

vagrant fox
#

The UM have a combat knife variant just straight up called a gladius iirc

iirc gladius is literally just sword in Latin so naming a knife sword is kinda funny

There's an unlockable power gladius in space marine 2

It's a knife too

Its one of the variants for the combat knife yeah

Gladius Incandor

And since it's a power weapon it probably doesn't share the same weakness that the normal gladius had

Besides the length

For some reason I think of romans w short spears wasn't early Rome like this

Where does the Inquisition hide the Tau Harem

crisp heath
#

When they had those rounder sheilds

They still used both pillums and the gladius

But there were spears in use

#

Rome used spears quite a bit

languid meadow

It's a fucking spear cheap as dirt

arctic talon
#

Pretty much

#

Every historical civilization ever used spears

languid meadow

But even from the Republic they were using their pillums and short swords

arctic talon

They’re kind of one of the easiest/most effective things to make to kill something

I guess it boiled down to how they used them in wartime

crisp heath
#

Ah true , yeah spears are op

arctic talon
#

Still funny to me the super unique exarch weapon for the howling banshees

Is just a giant fucking power spear

Spears are pretty underrepresented in 40K

You don't know how much is lost to time until you start looking up nomadic civilizations

unique bronze

and written history only started roughly 5,000 years ago, comparing that to how long humans have been around for

crisp heath
#

Oh I'm pretty sure we only know Like half of out history

#

Probably even less

proven eagle
#

There's one entire nomadic culture that people literally didn't know existed until recently because they just happened to find some pottery that miraculously survived 30000 years

#

They didn't build any permanent structures, and had no written records, so they legit left no evidence of their existence

Around the start

There’s some guardsmen

It's not that out of place honestly
