So the few who choose to be warriors are held in higher regard then seers
But on the average craftworld they’re seen with a level of unease
Because they do kill people for a living
wait you bought stellaris?
does this mean we can play
can we try right now
darn
nice
how do craftworlds differ physically
and what issues can affect one craftworld but not anotehr
They’re all really fucking big, how they’re shaped is different
holy shit since when is stellaris 50 bucks
always
did they increase the price
Generally their issues are external rather then relating to the craftworlds structure
no itsl itearlly just 50 bucsk
what the fuck
gtocha
we're so close to doing a lore chat stellaris match
is stellaris'.. i forgot what the nomad origin was called, good for ideas for my craft world
no im asking because i unironically like using steallris for 40k lore
and general ficiton lore
like for campaigns and stuff
uh i guess nomad would be closest yeah
with the space stations
God this would be both miserable and hilarious
EXACTLY
people would still tech rush in its nerfed state
i havent played in a while
but i wanna play with the lore lads
larping as 40k factions
how the fuck do you larp gsc in stellaris
necrophage
can you like do shadow invasions ors omethgn
OH
@arctic talon how importnat are crone worlds to each cw
like how much of an influcne are they
it's how they get their spirit stones
Very, they’re the primary source of spirit stones
there's other source
i forgor about tah
As Jay said
There’s old eldar empire stuff on them sometimes
any tech at all
Because macguffin
literally a sword made to kill slaanesh
yes that existed
it's also inside the eye of terror
so definitely an interesting place to have a story happen
i forgot does 40k have (insert name of weath from stellaris weather dlc)
besides warpstorms
Oh like
besides warpstorms no
That sort of stuff? No
but that's what warpstorms are lol
best origin
they have a kickass story ending if you take certain routes
theres, story endings?
you can literally go to war with hell
it's like secret endings
and secret events
they have a lot of funny interactions
again, you can go to war with hell
as in hell itself
that's a random event
i need ot finish getting those artifacts befoer the midgame event happens
precursors?
i get rnadom events tellign me one of the artifacts are somehwere nad ih ave ot do a quest ot get it
probably precursors
dont worry the game gives you progression with it
for free basically
bro i had to pay a rich guy too much money for one
yeah that one is a freebie
just remember
no matter what you do
do not enter the L gates before mid game
idk waht that is tbf
my current goal is to pusha s many enviormetnalist laws as i can
becuase people i dontlike hate it
you're using the galactic senate?
yea
power move
spirtialist pacifist
jesus christ
i make infinite union
and spam the enviormental stuff
whats it called
the envirometnalist civic yeah
the version i have hasall of htem yes
that's a lot of stuff to learn
we must conduct a test to see if we can play multi
my cat has returned to devour my charging cable

to make my stellaris connect to my steam

ive done it before
i just wanna test before going to sleep

oooo play underworlds ooooo
what is that
what the fuck
ive been posting baout it for literally a week
sorry i mentally zone out anything fantasy related
maybe i'll get it when it's on sale
wishlisted
oh lmao
you're playing with somebody?
Yes my partner
im plauying kamadoras bnaldes wiht wreck adn ruina dn raging lsayers
kamadora's blade siwth wrekcn and ruin and raging slayers
i dont understand any of that but it sounds awesome
Hate that the aeldar store page has drukhari in it
It’s making it harder to look at modles
The lovable and wise aeldari models...
The evil and intimidating Drukhari:
Hey are ynnari lore wise like baiscally just 1 craft world
I had an idea for a craft world that thinks the ynnari practices should be mandatory and are hyper hostile towards non ynnari aeldar
Ynnari don’t even have a craftworld rn. They’re mostly a wandering fleet corsair style
Ah gotcha
Meh I don’t think ynnari are gonna live next edition tbh
Unless they get the best book ever
They’ll exist lore wise
They seem like they are on the cuff of just being eldar
Yeah
Which not everyone is onboard with
It’s so unique I love it
humans being militaristic death cult
Lame
aliens being militaristic death cult
POG
Leilith is part of the ynnari still
Even if she thinks they’re going in fucking circles lol
Lmao
So is the Corsair Prince dude, Yirel
He’s more ynnari then Corsair/craftworlder still
But he’s fucked off to do his own thing for now until the ynnari need him
I’ll look at the Christmas box as I guess they will get one
Drukhari refresh 11e 
Teleport into the warp and pop back out
They’re noted as being
Completely batshit insane
Compared to other eldar because they literally enter the warp regularly
Lmao
But yeah they excel in CQB
Their weapons shoot out a bunch of monofiliment wire
And you get cut to a million tiny pieces by them
Also they like swords
IT IS A WARP SPIDER
Warp Spider Squad Quotes from Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War
Download MP3 files: http://www.mediafire.com/?q5pgb5gvwrkwos2
Do they have models for those?
WaItInG HeRe Is BuT A PhAsE oF OuR ExIsTeNCE
AAHH A WARP SPIDER
Yeah
And also their phoenix lord
She’s arguably even more insane
Considering she “rests” in the warp sometimes
Don’t ask how
honk mimimi
Slaaneshi Daemon pokes her
Daemon immediately gets stabbed
snort "yes... I luv teleportin.."
hooonnnk
Also that is a sick design
How TF does she have 4 arms
wat dem arms do
Help lift and hold things typically
Also noticed that she has 8 limbs in total
Finally
The correct amount of appendages for a spider
I think she is like
One out of the two spider themed characters I know that actually have the correct amount of limbs for a spider

The other is Muffet from Undertale
it helps when you have poor impulse control
Sounds about right 
Warp spiders extra arms help support the guns, or have auxiliary weapons.
The Phoenix lords has 4 guns. 2 of which are miniaturized warp spinners and the other 2 are a ranged form of the harlequins Kiss melee weapon.
And then she has a very fancy sword that can literally carve open reality
And the harlequins kiss is the funny melee that impales you before liquifying your insides
my aprtner beat me lma
that's GW'S other table top game
warhammer Age of sigmar
well the image is from a video game, tabletop simulator
well i'm halfway right i'll take it
on which they're playing one of the AoS skirmish games
can't recall the name
warcry or the other one
Underworlds that would be the one you're looking for
yeah
Year of Chaos
Calgar can you explain to me why the standing rock you are getting gets taller and taller every time
Like I'm not tripping balls here right he is genuinely getting taller and taller stepping stones
the image is also larger
his stepping stone is getting slightly taller 💀
True true
I like how cute that frst one is lmao
Bring your kids to work day in the imperium of man
Don’t worry son we will get ice cream we just need to exterminatus this planet of innocent xenos first.
hey what craftworld gods are like still worshipped besides khaine and clown
i had an idea for a craftworld
Eldar Mythology, told through the Eldar Mythic Cycles, is an ancient story that binds the Eldar race together and forms a basis for much of their thinking on their ancient past. It told of their pantheon of gods and heroes, all of whom would perish in the Fall of the Eldar – save three, Cegorach in the Black Library, Khaine shattered among the...
They arent really worshipped anymore persay, just remembered as great sundered figures, through nothing stopping your Craftworld from still doing it as a old practice.
Also the newest 10th edition codex brings back an old lore bit saying the Eldar had over a thousand gods (i.e per Hindu mythology as a reference).
Oh yes lore from the 10th codex
Uttered to contain one of the most so-called vile changes in lore
Apparently they made some psychic rocks naturally occurring but I don't care 

You can go with it.
remember every craftworld is its own "nation" more or less
nah its fine i dont think there is a god that works with it anyway
What was the aspect
the idea was the craftword coming of age 'marry' themselve to one of hte gods but theres people who 'divorce' themselves and 'marry' into khaine or cegorach isntead
Yeah that is ironically very hindu so it actually works pretty lol
oh peak
I got a craftworld that heavily worships khaine and has cults of him present across most of the worldship and are led by a civil theocratic council.
ooo
Id say however go with Khaine, he is the god venerated the most through Aspect Temples and some other craftworlds
Cegorach is fine but his deal is entirely largely done by Harlequins
though if you wanna expand the idea you can have some sub-cultures of your craftworld venerate him as well
Asuryani eldar are a very diverse bunch
yeah the idea was the marry into other gods was like "you can do that but we dont like you for it"
Yeah exactly, thus you can make them rely more on themselves and some other harlequin Masques for support in wartime
ahh
Yeah again remember its a multi-continent sized ship
cultures would develop somewhat in a sphere like that
since eldar are like greek city states as well to some degree
'marry' was just a term for becoming an aspect warrior / harlequin but still staying on the craft world
mi glad the idea works the marrying part was the only thing i wanted lmao
Yeah again like
A ton of eldar culture is based on gaelic, hindu and japanese stuff, and a ton of their IRL myths are some wild shit lol
Oh my God power ranger
so this is very normal
shut the fuck up
ah yay
Yea I expected something else tbh lol
idk what the main god should be
oh and marrying into ynnari i guess would be a thing to o but i imagine people would like that even less
you saw their treatment in current lore
lmao
is there an eldar god of love or family or anything
that wast shadow banned by slaanesh
isha really
Again a thousand gods
Just ignore the fact that most of them got eaten
cegorach is the laughing god so he's full of love
That applies to all of them so yes
Hey I said ignore that fact
If Warhammer fans can ignore something for the sake of ignoring it because they don't like it you can do the same
ill do isha most likely bc im unsure how wide custom gods are in eldar
i swore there was a craftworld that worshipped her
isha i mean
Some got their sigils symbolizing her in their crests too
ah
It's fine, you can do what you want. For my craftworld I want to incorporate ancient greek hero worship for Eldanesh, buddhist virtues, and that muslim Sayyid thing but I'm not sure how to go about it. 40k just lets you make up things
Yeah that, also the Eldar having such a mix of old mythic cultures helps a ton.
Eldanesh is literally just Gilgamesh and so on lol
Gav isnt relly the most creative writer but these are pretty fun stuff
It's a whole pick and choose bag, good fun
Yeee
i wonder if the polyamory craftworld would be introverts or extroverts
Entirely depends on how you want it.
Eldar are not like us, they dont really have societal norms the same way we do.
Its the same as how some literally become shopkeeps as a job and sell shit for free lol
i can see like "our god wife says we must go here"
Guardian from craftworld Lugganath
or also they would think that other craftwrolds arent devoted enough to their gods
do drukhari twerk for pleasure sometimes? or its already not cool for them
too mundane
Gav thorpe in world building vs making characters
wtrf is that grot art
it's a gretchin
same thing tbh
photoscanned from the Xenologis book
hence why it looks like shit
gretchin fuck
no a grot in age of Sigmar is capable of making their own armies and societies
gretchin are slaves and incapable of being their own thing
Same thing
goblin is goblin
the average imperial racism
yes
and stop pinging me after every message, i leave the chat coming back assuming theres an emergency lol
lmao
got it boss
And you stop being a freak

i mean it genuinely does it's just that unfortunately
GW treats them like a door rug
recently at least they have gotten good things
i owould say ill painthem as a polyamoury flag but there slike 3 craftworlds with those colors
now i must learn the craftworld langauge and see what means love
wow there is an entire website purely for eldar
nothing seems to mean like family or antyhing
I love the complexity of eldar language meanwhile orcs are just
literal translation
Owns-vehicle Ugwort-Blueface, Evil-Sunz, Gutdreg's tribe
i mean it makes sense
the ork langauge is also like, a valid language lmao
heard somwehre most langauges are dependant on what they have to write on
eldar had mgaic bullshit so theirs are complex and long symbols
orks have scrap metal
so they need ot be simple and hammared
and since they have no universal education you need to also be bale to guess waht the important symbols mean
i do love the fact that a lot of it are insults though
jokes spread father
i think ill do aspect warrior heavy play style so lore wise its mostly those married to khaine going out
oh and corsairs are poeple who refuse to marry in the tradition at all
i have no clue what to do about rangers
maybe rangers are refusal to participate
those outside eldar
and corsairs are corsairs are corsairs
khaine would probably be the second most common god to marry
i have no clue how you chose what aspect warrior you become
besides personality type
i forgot was blades of khaien good or terrible
i think terrible
the kill team?
yeah
How good is a space marienes memory? Is it the same as a normal humans?
Very good, the deathwatch rulebook goes on about how a bunch develop photographic memories
But it could also vary of course
It's not perfect, Dante forgot things over time from living too long
and they usually forget what it was like before they were transformed
I mean even if it's a super brain it's still limited by storage space
Thx!
Imperial Goats
Love me imperium
Love me chaos undivided
Love me muscly marines
Hate xenos
Not racist I just don’t like em. Simple as.
Is that Big Daz the Dark Warden?
Yes
Think it was Farsight that got him
It was said by a tau who later was sealed into his suit, to keep him alive (He was referring to a Dreadnought at the time) 
If the imperium came across a planet with a similar humanoid species like twileks or something that were peaceful/pacifist would they be treated just like any of the enemies of humanity or is there a different protocol for a situation like that?
like very similar to humans?
They'd be murdered
Or enslaved
Or enslaved and then murdered
yeah if they are aliens
They are immediately treated worse
If let's just say they are abhuman
They're still enslaved
Or they get unlucky, and the people that find them are very puritanical, and just murder them for being too weird
The imperium enslaves aliens? I didn't know that
Hey man short term labour is short term labour
I thought they'd just kill them all
You're talking about an empire here who has concentration camps and would lynch someone for being too tall
Trust me they would either just kill them or forcefully break them for something else
Yeah but I'd think they'd just eradicate them
Also yes it can depend on who finds them
Admech are more likely to yoink them for servitor fodder or food
If there is one thing the imperium is good at is being scumbags
Regular imperials are more inclined to kill
Eh now come on cut them some slack
They have some pretty mean neighbors
They are the mean neighbours
Nahh
Orks they come in stinking the place up
No manners
Loud
Can you blame the imperium
Yes
OK but, lynch you because you were born taller than average
Never forget, the reason there are only hostile aliens left alive is because the Imperium already killed all the friendly ones
Back breaking labor and treating human life as a commodity
Thanks for noticing
yeah that's like a bad thing I'm not gonna cut them some slack because their neighbors are evil if they don't bother to be better than their neighbors
yeah it's a servitor factory of the empire you want me to cut the slack off
anyway
Serviter factory
Where they make serviters?
Could be worse
Who were the serviters before ?
Why doesn't the imperium use aliens as serviters?
Cause that would be tech heresy
Figures in translucent plastek sacks hung from the rails. Small data-pads wired into their chests winked in the ruddy gloom. Softseals in the bodysacks allowed IV-tubes to penetrate the dormant figures at the wrists, necks and thighs, taking blood to containers hanging beneath their feet. White-armoured Sanguinary Priests walked the aisles between, checking on their harvest. Every ten seconds the lines lurched forwards to the grinding of some hidden engine and the squeal of wheels, setting the bags swinging.
Chauld led Hereon towards the centre, bodies either side. 'Some of these are the crew and cargo of the free ships we hold at our orbital,' he explained. 'The rest are our thralls. Their labours are done. Every fifty years we change our stock for new and the old are given a great honour. The processing is almost done - we are two thirds of the way through. New servants have been drawn from the remainder of the mortals from the ships and the rest will join with us and our freed servants, blood to blood.'
'You are draining them of vitae...' said Hereon quietly. The stink of blood was causing his mouth to water. His gums ached as his teeth moved in his upper jaw.
'Yes,' Chauld said baldly. 'You must feel it too - the smell of this vitae excites you, you know its terrible lure. If you wish, you may drink of it, as much as you want.' He laughed a horrible, despairing laugh. 'We all must feed. It is our nature. In five days, we shall be finished. These bodies will be flensed, their bones cleaned, and they will be interred with all honour in the Chapel of the Isle of Martyrs. We shall bathe in their blood. Into it, we shall pour the essence of Sanguinius by opening the veins of one of our priests and draining him unto death. Then the blood will be treated again, and prepared into the liquid food of battle. Thereafter it is introduced into our armour's dispensers to nourish us in war. A half century's supply is here.
marines having human blood
Oh ok
before you reason but those marines need blood
I am not hearing it
Those are innocent people on refugee ships
Not reading all that but good for you or sorry that happened
just know that you are wrong in this conversation and i'm right
Gotcha 👍
Wish 40k had an underworlds style game
The skirmish of skirmish sized games
A like, half the size of killteams
(I really like underworlds)
i mean it would be good but 40k it's already juggling two more digestible versions of their games
necromunda and kill team
compared to 40k i wager
But what if AOS Necromunda
We have been asking for years
Now you're speaking my language
Divinly chosen City of Sigmar, get multiple groups
Maybe instead of House gangs it is Guilds
The grand alliances work great already for the format
Iron worker guild is able to have some Duardin
Hunter/Coursier have a majority of elves
i would love that
is it gonna be strictly human dwarves elf only though
Put it in Misthåvn or something
So is Necromunda 🤷
Can't have Orks, can't have Tyranids
“When playing a tzeentch warband; all gear must have Generic, Chaos Undivided, or Tzeentch keywords”
welp as long as there's an ogre merc company I'm in
Misthåvn is the city of Scoundrels and has a bunch of shady shit going on
There are Ogre in the Cities of Sigmar, so I would guess that they would be here too
Yes
One thing about cities is
Slavery is completely illegal
Not even misthaven deals in the slave trade
It's literally just this
but ogre mercs
I think necromunda AOS / Mordhiem AOS would take place in a underworlds style location
Like more of this guy
An abandoned city or ancients ruins or a forest full of shit
That could work but I'm talking something along the lines of ogre mawtribes gut Busters
Butcher Guild (Fell to Khorne)
Dye Guild (Fell to Slaanesh)
Abandoned Hospital (Undead)...
Not really tied to the guilds but more the ones that just go around and get hired by everyone
Don’t limit AOS to fantasy stereotypes
Munda somewhat hinge on stereotypes
Make it an adventure, gotta be heroes delving into disease festered ruins in a race against a band of night haunt
OK but if we're gonna make a necromunda one we kinda have to make some stereotypes
Then you just end up with Cursed City
But better
That wouldn't really be Munda though
Well you could have some story like that
Cursed city OC hammer
not really munda no
munda it's about isolated factions vying for power in a place
That's what makes it so unique
I just want the gameplay loop of necromudna in AOS lmao
In AOS settings
If it’s all humans only like, cities and chaos would want it
You'd probably have a Skaven cultist gang
OK but like cacti has been saying
Set it in the cities of sigmar and have many factions in it
elf dwarf human ogre what have you
With some hidden Skaven
Worshippers of Nagash
Vampire infestation
Cities of sigmar them selves are also infested with
Fucking everything
yeah so like my suggestion of an ogre mercenary companies frequenting in the city for work
Kruleboyz roaming the sewers kidnapping people
Could have people that are in the process of turning into ghouls but are still kinda human
Fec would be very fun
The Ushoran book has a lot of fun descriptions of people in the process of becoming Ghouls and how some of them are basically able to conceal it to infiltrate areas to spread further
ok if we're going by destruction
gargants are most definitely out because they are incredibly conspicuous
ironjawz would either work as muscle or fighters but not really something that you would see
Ogres can work because they are literally mercenaries for hire as well
grots and Kruleboyz could appear as a very small faction that currently infiltrating the city
Necromunda has 6 House Gangs, + 6 factions, and some smaller ones that are meant to use in support.
Don't think that if they did the same amount of work that all the setting would realistically be represented
And kurnothi
Just make it like, more complicated warcry
Each faction has a list of fighters and gear
And purchase yo shit
I'm mostly counting those
that is completely fair
but yes as you can see you can have many many factions
You can have chaos you can have outsiders you can have
The political parties or whatever have you
Yes but miniature wise it would be difficult unless it tend to use outside miniatures
that's true
Like for your base factions you draw inspiration from the elements of the Cities of Sigmar
and then you introduce Cults for Chaos and Undeath, maybe some Destruction as mercenaries
Note
A lot of those are dead
Like cannnonically
Well like 3
All the high elf ones are extinct, the wood elf ones are extinct, and I think one of the shadow elf ones are extinct
Na those are all the living ones
I thought shadow blades were dead
Oh my bad I forgot
They were absorbed by DoK in function
Shade of khaine;
Tbh I think they're better of not looking at those factions, but rather doing their own things.
Like have a Brewer faction that has human, dwarfs and Ogor
Ogor mercenary company
Ogor mercenary company
Ogor mercenary company
The wood elf ones are alive still

Hmmm curveball here
Regarding the wanderers
Oh yeha the military was dissolved my bad
What about hanger on and hired bounty hunters and stuff
That’s just freeguild
With those you could be much much more creative
Iirc
Ogor as part of some of the base gang
Wait, iron jaw Brute hanger on
Oh yes, you could even see some greenskins in them, for more crime minded groups
Probably not all of them as factions though, like the Darkling Coven, Dispossessed, Freeguilds, Order of Azyr and Ironweld Arsenel would be a good starting 5
Also why would internal cities of sigmar factions fight each other 
Who all work for the same city
||Hence looking at those factions being the wrong way to go at it||
Because infighting is what they do
Looking at those for Hanger On at most would be best
Because I want my power into political ladder to be higher RAAAAAAAAAAHHH
We must make the shittiest city of sigmar
And isn’t using the strengths of AOS
Yeah well munda doesn’t use the strengths of 40k either
Necromunda doesn't also
It stands on its own 2 legs
YES
That's the type of s*** I'm talking about
Make this place horrible
If GW wants to make an AoS necromunda
Necromunda is a strong setting cause it is meant to work on its own
Necromunda is fucking he’ll caused by the industrialization and slavery of 40k
Yeah it needs to be semi-isolated and kind of its own thing
It uses the fact the imperium is ran by the literal worst people in the world works
Actually
Yea Necromunda is mainly about an Imperial city fighting itself, an AoS version should be the same
That’s what I’ve been saying!
Mordheim is more like Necromunda Hive Secundous
And secundous is great
But not in a vacuum
Secundous is great but it build up on Necromunda and the House conflict
But you asked for necromunda aos so we're just making like us close of a replica as possible 
Yeah but Mordheim was like whfb necromunda
Is my point
Gameplay wise
We have all the bones present for the campaign system
I meant play style lmao
Gameplay wise yes
By m0pan
But less so about the broader narrative of it
Laati not now
Mordhiem too leave space for every faction kicks SoB to the curve
We're talking about the age of sigma here
Good
But I want Cities of Sigmar infighting simulator
Necromunda work best when it let the sculptors and artist just do their own thing without needing to follow faction lines
For AoS Necromunda to be good
You can have different cities hate each other in Mordhiem 2 sigmar boogaloo
they shoudl do the same thing
Literally all of AOS is based off 1 guy’s work
Nooooooooo, different parts of the same city
Okay like 80%
It's not infighting if it's just two different cities fighting eachother
Gona be weird once GW runs out of Blanche concepts
Servito-Blanche 
Blanche has done every AoS range aside from, some of fyreslayers, Ossiarchs, and Idoneth was done completely without him
adn two of those are community beloved for its beauty
Yeah fyreslayers are the only miss
and uniqueness
luckily FS shoudl be getting a major update soon
With the legions of nagash shit
At the end of whfb
But the actual rest of the range is independent of that
mostly struggles form havieng,,, 4 kits?
Aside from the general aesthetic
outside of foot heroes fs has like,
the lizard, normal dudes with axe/shield, the special weapons, adn the warcry warband
if it gets like 4 more non hero units it iwll be alot better
an armyfo only guardsmen is meh, throw some artillary int here and it looks cooler, throw some tanks int here adn its looking good
throw a named hero in there
ngl I kind of hope GW redoes them from the ground up
You know what just for that I'm getting you with this
I call this spell forcefully like total war DLC
i like fs i hope they stay naked angry burning men
they portrayed fs as sexy and or badass in teh art and it deos alot to help
unlike ogors
they do need to repaint all the minis they use for displays
because that paintjob does not do them service
heres an example
then you puit orange guys ina n orange background
crazy how all of the art is as blue or green as possible lmao
they paint the armor black here
whichi s crazy
It looks cool
telling Gw to never paitn gold again part 504
Telling them not to paint gold is like telling a fire slayer not to look for grimnir
gold looks terrible and they know it
Gold is cool smh
I will have you know Aether gold and ur gold are goated
Thank you very much
fair
But I think gold is fine
Imo
its skin orange and gold
Okay well that’s too yellow
Most of the time
yeah and they painted stormcasts silver for liek 3 months
That’s the poster child one
Also gold
Tbf
It’s a weird mix
Between hammers of sigmar and Hallowed Knights
As poster children
GW is using the same gold recipe as they use for custodes now
Funnily
I do like the brighter stormcast gold though
Tbh
For hammers of sigmar
oh i thought people hated the custodies colors
WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT SIR
WHAT
I dont htink ive ever looked at this mini before
why is he a manlet
He’s from 7e
Also custodes are all
ah
But like their proportions are a little weird
Also GW has changed the custodes gold formula between the 7e and 8e stuff
They are perfect
It’s forgeworld
WHY IS THERE 3 SHIELD CAPTIAN S
At least like not like the seven chaos champions
Cause they treat Custodes fans like SM fans, so they know they can sell multiple of the same unit
But yeah the shield captains can be built from the guard or warden kit
And then also the independent shield captain lol
Oh yeah the resin one
I forgot about him
THERE IS AT ELAST 6 SHIELD CAPTAINS TO MY KNOWLEDGE
We need seven more
oh realy
thats great lmao
Yeah
Kinda like SM Sergeant 
Custodes don’t use military formations
oh because htey fight ont hier own anyway
we stand alone or what ever
Custodes fight in a coordinated manner
But they aren’t a military organization
If that makes sense
Like, custodes squads are literally a friend group/clique
thank fuck
But yeah custodes groups are basically just like
Isn't valerian a shield captain
yes
Pretty sure he's also got a model to that's like 8
arent they just doing a specific thing
The only proper custodes subgroup is the ones who guard the vault stuff
Yeah but it’s more like, these custodes wana do X so they formed Y group
The captain general isn’t like okay you guys do this you guys do that
Ect.
lol
It’s a case of like
If they really really need to do something
They’ll drop what they’re off messing around with/working on and do it
lmao
the only idea i had for a custodies shield was they were just the emperor's gardeners, they go to specific battlefields just to add plants to his garden
they got like one of those gardener's yearly books fromthe year HH to 50k and is just fillingit out
You can also come up with the excuse of how theres some original terran plant species from the 21st centruy and some after it that was unawares spread to now desolate or imperium settled worlds or hostile planets
"dont worry gutys the emperor is gonna do some crazy shit wiht these wild red lavanders"
and they gotta go through all that shit to find em
can even add some other fluff like how some are hunted because they contain unique biological properties for other uses
Yeah basically.
"oh yeah the cure to cancer plant, straight to the green house"
like, one of the OG shieldhosts they provide as an example in the codex literally just does nothing but:
go around on bigass ship
then the planet gets glassed
blow up planets
LMAO
^
Their friend Jim a terrawatt clan member
And their sister of silence friends
its prob one of the best parts of their lore
And that’s the goddamn Shield host lol
So like if every single member of lore chat becomes a custodes we could immediately just become a shield host
sisters of scilence are there to hide the garden from like psyker stuff and also because htey keep running into psyker plants
Correct.
Well that's f****** funny
Is there anything in the makeup of a custodes that would be considered better than what is in the primarchs?
king of the hill with cutsodies
Never mess with a gardener
Or space marines
True gardeners be becoming khorne berzerker the moment you mess with them
yeet
Primarchs are basically just bigger custodes but they got marvel superpowers
oh yeah @arctic talon did i tll you the craftworld idea i came up with
thats it really
Ah ok lol
Custodes are just objectively better then marines aside from creation speed
Tbh
In terms of like
Fighting
Yeah
the new and imrpoved one that like 2 other eldar fnas liked
Custodes don’t have weird organs and stuff
Shoot
But custodes are just much more refined then marines
Marines are the easybake transhuman killing machine
Not that it’s bad
Custodes are literally just humans plus
They were designed for different things
Custodes is basically take a human and bump up the stats
they have a tradition aroudn when they come to age they 'marry' an eldar god, which is mostly isha. but theres people who refuse and marry khaine or cegorach or even rarer as of late ynnead
That’s cool
Tbh
There’s also some dead gods as well they could marry?
Or is it just living one’s
the dead god i was hitnking baout because of the... chinese tradition?
where unwedded daughters who passed are married to living men
i cant remmeber if it was chinese or osmething else
im not sure if marrying anoteher god besides isha and sometimes khaine would create too much divide
It wouldn’t
Well I'm here's the thing they don't kill each other because they are literally dying as a race
At least someone like a weapon smith or bonesinger marrying Vaul wouldn’t be weird
fair point
Exactly
Speaking of what happened to that guy
Did he get eaten
Yes
Horrific
marrying ot khaine is like going and joining the militaryw hen ur 16 and your mildly disliked
marrying ceggorach is like "what the fuck is your issue"
marrying ynnead is of course literallty joining a cult at 18
9/10 cases marrying ceggorach you go and become a harlequin
9/10 kahine is your an asepct warrior
is marrying a dead god weird?
Posthumous marriage tahts it
Well this is coming from a group of people that shove their dead relatives in psychic material gundams
So no
Yeah exactly
@arctic talon they will be into marrying dead gods i did not even consider wraiths and stuff
Wraith constructs
Marrying into a dead god is not that weird when your piloting a giant robot with your dead brother
No worries I know what you meant
But yes don't worry about the dead people bit because
Eldar use a lot of dead people
"you arent married to your god? do you even believe in them damn"
You need a twin/sibling born at the same time for wraithknights 
i know iw as correcting my self i meant closer to your god / significant other
no clue for the introvert vs
extrovert
are htey millenial married couples or boomer married couples
Gotta think about why people would marry Morai-Heg or Lileath
Or like can people not marry Lileath because she's the Maiden
in the eldar posthumor god marriage
thats so funny
i have no clue
and Morai-Heg was god of prophecy, so probably Farseers would marry her
by what age do you even know u would be a farseer
you can of course divorce your god
but thats pretty taboo
but allowed
Wouldn't banshees just marry Morai
Hmm yea Morai is Banshees as well as prophecy
the politics of the eldar polyamory
Yes so either it's far seers or banshees
