LORGAR probably wouldn't.
I mean, he was a dick, but also like
The Emperor didn't help
At all
Like if I put it in terms
Imagine if you show your Dad a painting.
You worked hours on it. It's beautiful and glistening
Your dad is mad because you didn't paint it fast enough
Also it has religious imagery and he hates that
So then he has one of your brothers smash the painting and burn it
Emperor's problem with Lorgar was less him and more not chopping the head off Kor Phaeron and Erebus
I'm glad to see people appreciate a villain who was evil purely because he's an unrepentant bastard like Erebus
We got too many "well maybe he's got a point" antagonists, Erebus is purely evil for the love of the game
To be honest, the problem I have with Erebus is that he just doesn't have enough to make him enjoyable to hate for me.
He kinda just feels like a plot device
We do need SOME “evil by nature” villains in any media.
Like evil by nature villains are fun due to them loving one thing...
(Ignore how I put one of the most non-"evil by nature" villains here)
Nah he would have
But you get the point
I forget the exact book or short story but Erebus admitted he started with literal serial killer stuff by pulling the legs off scorpions
Also I always find it funny how those “maybe Chaos has a point” people are only doing it because they compare Chaos against Imperium of Mankind.
Like…surely suffering under a fascist regime is still better than losing your sanity as well as the ability to love and care!?
Angron would have always turned, simply for the fact him and his friends were enslaved and he was subjected to the nails on an imperial world under the emperors control. Nothing big e could do would make up for that.
To be fair, love is dependent on the type of God
Slaanesh and Nurgle, nah you wouldn't lose that part
Khorne and Tzeentch, most definitely
It technically wasn't under his control
Until he arrived
But it was under compliance
I don't think that's the case? I think it was put under compliance after Angron was sucked up
I thought Nuceria's compliance was right when The Emperor arrived
iirc he negotiated with The High Riders
Ah
I mean if the Emperor saved his friends and bombed the planet instead
That would've gotten him under Angron's good graces

I must be wrong then I thought it was under compliance before the emperor found out he was there
Big E Money is exactly the same as the Highriders, it wouldn't have worked for Angron
Nah separate until found.
It was technically under Gulliman's empire though
Although it was on the fringes
Like the type of planet that would be on the bottom of the list
Type of shit
Very telling that out of all the primarch planets, even the Death Guard have nicer things to say about Barbarus than anyone does about Nuceria
Luv me toxic wasteland
For fucks sake, the blood angels and iron hands have better things to say
Nuceria sucks balls, period.
Both in universe and the narrative for it lol.
It’s just so…sad
And their planets are objectively awful
Awful shitholes
Like "the only thing that can be worse is Catachan"
I personally think if Angron wasn't nailed. He would've been similar to Khan in his stance
That being
"The Imperium sucks ass, but I am not siding with the literal daemons."
Or Corax for that matter
I can easily imagine him just fucking off after the battle
Corax also recognises the paradox that he is a resistance fighter…who joined a dictatorial Emperor.
Like he doesn't even disappear due to going after some artifact or something
I think Angron would've just straight up left
And did what Guilliman wishes he could fucking do
Actually imagine a Three way split
...
That would've made for an interesting scenario ngl
I'm kind of partial to the theory Khan just faked being lost in the webway and is AWOL somewhere
Knew the whole dream was dead after the Siege and went off to do his own thing
Emperor loyalists
Chaos Traitors
And Khan/Corax/NoNails!Angron just saying “fuck you both”
Honestly I like to think that Khan made his own faction somewhere in the Dark City
Commoragh
Now that's something I wanna see
Chilling in some pleasure palace in The Dark City with a harem of Drukhari babes? yeah I could see it
Less that more
One of the Kabals trying to murder Vect
Alpharius would have the time of his life just choosing which boat to jump on lol.
Alpharius would probably still die the same way.
Seems like he'd know the Emperor's dream was dead by the end of the siege
Alpharius thinking he's the smartest mf to ever live would definitely get him killed in the same way
I just wish that ironically enough, there was slightly less secrecy
Many such cases in real life
Or complicated bullshit
Although I have had the entertaining idea of an alpha Legionnare having a complicated plan
Only to not like it, or it not working, and be like
"Fuck it, let's start shooting"
I liked Mike Brook's Harrowmaster leaning on that
And we're never told what the original unfinished plan was before they start...
Improvising
You don’t even need to do that loop.
An Alpha Legionnaire would know their legion’s reputation.
So, by his calculation, the last thing the enemy would expect him to do, is…just start shooting.
Solomon being like "guys all the people who know Alpharius' plan are either dead or MIA, let's do our own thing"
Probably wasn’t a way to narrate this clearly (even though they should), but I genuinely just think the legion quietly fractured itself between loyalists and traitors at heart, which became heinously complicated because of the whole “pretending to be on the other side” thing.
insert that scene of the alpha legionnares all groaning after somebody says their iconic phrase
sold me on Mike Brooks as a BL author tbqh
Need to sit down and read his Ork books sometime
But oddly enough we will never tire of Word Bearers being Sunday morning cartoon evil bastards
Which…TBF, it’s more a behaviour and less a meme.
There is something fun about Word Bearers just being unrepentantly evil lmao
Tbf part of it is like
Imagine you finally get to see the inner workings of the universe
...
And then it turns out that heaven doesn't exist
There is only hell
There are two responses
A) Fight anyways. Rage against the dying of the light and all that
B) "fuck it, being a Daemon sounds fun"
Word Bearers chose B

surely the eclessiarchy wouldn't like to me about the emperor when I die right
right???
What’s the status on grey knight and black Templar?
Whats the status?
Last heard community shit on them because they want cripple recovered emperor
That community in question probably has choice words on femcustodes too, I wouldn't take outrage farmers seriously
I didn’t pick on femcustodus topic
So I won’t know what’s their update
I’m interest what happen to Grey and Templar
I genuinely dont know what you're asking so hopefully someone else takes up the mantle
What I means like I remember last time community memeing grey knight storm inside emperor palace and up against custodus
Because they want put emperor who got revived back to the throne
Greyknights vs the Custodes you mean?
Something about recent reveal what the Terminus Decree was, hence the whole meme about Grey Knights storming the golden throne
I liked it better when it was an actual unknown order
I honestly think they should've made it a series of contingencies
That too mayhaps
Tho I liked the theory before that it was an order to just off the Emperor to force him to reincarnate to be a more fully abled being
rather than a vegetable on the throne etc
But it was only supposed to be a last ditch effort
"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose which functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bio-engineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given ...
Game came out. Gotta milk this dying meme baby.

Eyo
So crit fishing or money to damage things
are we going to ignore how they handled 3
Yes, sadly. BL4 is currently pretty popular until BL6 comes out
oh i didn't even realize it was out yet
i completely dissociated from the series when 3 came out
borderlands is just one of those franchises that only has 1 masterpiece that the entire brand relies on
I think it's been out a few weeks now, because they had the CEO come out and say BL4 can't be ran on poor people's PC or something like that.
it's just very forgettable
But I hardly play those game for it anyway
Bl2 is well remembered for, but I honestly found the bad guy from it just as annoying to listen to
Eh, depend, the only thing for 4 (don't have it yet) that I somewhat dislike is Harlowe.
Usually there are 2 or even 3 characters that I don't mesh with, Bl3 had every character pique my interest
Honestly was most interested in Harlowe when we had her visual, but did not know anything
And each subsequent reveal just led to me not being as interested in her
I like Levaine

👍 ...
how i'm starting my morning 
DON'T SAY THAT
Im sorry but it was literally just nothing
just princeps arguing then getting blown up
😩


He hasn't watched it yet
Yeah, SM on the front there is weird, they play no role 😆
Dilara is correct show was dogshit
“Kill lupercal” didn’t even see the twat
You do get a couple space marines fighting scenes though but that’s like the only good parts
Tbh the titan stuff is good but like-
the problem with titan-stuff in 40k is its the same thing EVERY time
argue/wrestle with machine spirit
argue with other princeps
someone gets blown the fuck up
yapyap brave last words
etc etc
Slow turn to target for 20 minutes
YEP.
its why I just never bother with them in novels
I get it, troubles and issues operating one is what makes it exciting but god
it's less interesting when a titan being operated is described exactly as an office skit
so far it's further than mortis
because all the warp dilation
so these must be the titans left fighting after that book
yeah its when the planet is going slowly into the Warp
It’s a horus heresy show that’s a pun on kill bill
How would it not suck
🫡
kill bill is awesome tho
And Quentin tarantino is the only person who could make kill bill lol
my goat
zac snyder...
quentin i love u as much as you love feet
Hasn't directed a good movie since Owls of Ga'Hoole
Those were some good books
Epic
It’s really good narratively too, at least compared to 3
Hey now I was just asking a question.
Why do people always need to get so aggressive when I ask simple things?
Now, does he have Labubus' or no?
He must have Labubus'
blue
you know what else is blue
walters whites crystal meth
I wonder what "season 2" is about. Considering the series shows that Titans are completely impractical, more of a propaganda platform than a weapon platform.
Season 2 will be Kill Abaddon
Spoiler alert, it’s a trap like season one.
And Abbadon isn’t even in the episode.
Just like season one’s twist.
Na, they'll actually kill him
It will have Major ramifications for 40k lore
It's here
I KNOW
ALSO
ZARBAG HAS A NEW SYMBOL
WARBANDS ARE GETTING CHANGESSSS
THEY ARE COOKED
Here’s your official look into the next evolution of the iconic real-time strategy franchise with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV!
First revealed during PC Gaming Show: Tokyo Direct, this new trailer has been captured entirely from in-engine gameplay.
Many years after the events of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Kronus burns as Space Marines of...
So far I like what I see
the matched animations look so good
yep
also electro priests
the orks just bringing out three gorkonauts 
my only issue is the scale for the bigger units feel weird but i understand it's for gameplay reasons
like the monolith feels really small
i've gotten used to RTS size syndrome
no guard, no tau, why live
A lot of the units look nice it's just the monolith to me
There's just really not a lot of ways of making the size feel natural when it's an RTS
honestly Tau, Eldar, and Guard are basically guaranteed to show up imo
at least necrons are cool ig
Guard are being worked on
They better let me play tau
And are either gona be the first dlc
Guard i gonna be the first new faction
yeah dlc
oh shit so they made it so every melee unit has matched animations
3 imperium 2 xenos chaos fans eat some dirt
As a tau main it's ok
We are used to be in the shadow of space marines
before i expire
yeah oh ok so now we have more than just sync kills
melee itself has their own animations between units
I'm just hoping that King art can find a way to reduce the price by even just a little
GW is ruthless
i'm out there saying this like I haven't bought every tww dlc but hey
fantasy is a whole otha thing
Also Necrons are in this game via pity 😭
Wait how
Necrons are hard to explore in games
"we promised them in 3 and they didn't play a big role in the previous games"
They are god lvl
Oh yeah they are
necrons got the pity fuck
There's an easy fix that do the dawn of war thing Ignore it for a game mechanics
The campaign of the game is canon to the lore
i mean they also got mechanicus and necrons
You can't just make necrons eat dirt
Recorded voice report:
'As far as I know, as a young race, the Tau Imperium was created to disseminate a new password. Password that has much more truth in it, than believing in an Emperor or any other great lord. We're fighting for something, that under your Emperor's rule, you'll never achieve. With help of our Kroot and Vespid Allies, the Tau...
If Dawn War One was lore accurate gameplay the warrior just shooting would be enough to destroy an entire squad as they all disintegrate
love taus but the guard still has the best theme
i hope they pay some kind of homage to it whenever they add them in
So for the sake of gameplay just make them work with mechanics and somehow make the guy survive anti material gun
Fair
every time guard are shown in these previews I keep seeing people spout out how "GW changed lasgun lore recently to this" and im still so confused where they get that
like no?
when
show me
what changed ?
lasguns has been yellow plenty of times
They confusing darktide changes
For lore
Apparently the lasgun bolt colors
People are confusing them being yellow
yeah it's red
no no they're saying them shooting like bullets and being yellow is now the standard which is not the case
they can just be diff colours
idk
fuck
I HATE 40K FANS
NO ONE READS
40k is inconsistent tho
even in books they can't settle on one depiction
Just to understand the big E I Lost my mind and felt to tzeentch
I assume it's like star wars with different systems/elements being used
like iirc there's purple las bolts
it's all depends on the forge world that makes them
idk it's just people complaining and saying that "this is a new change" that piss me off
they're yellow in older DoWs as well
also BLUE
But the infantry carried red ones right
they fire red beams in the definitive edition
yeah the standard troopers had red
chimeras had yellow
I think some sentinels had blue?
I could be wrong on that one
sentinels had red i think
Yeah it's a laser
but i don't see why they should have different colours either
Laser come in different colors
also the radium shots from the skitarii in the trailer look so good
in artwork it's either red or yellow most of the time, i'm fine with that
their pale teal looks great
Lasgun beam is said to have different colours depending on the environment as well.
its always been majorily red
its just inconsistency
also that warcom post was basically making a fake narrative
I'm a Psyker so I warp energy beam
Then again, there is a lasgun suppressor to remove the visible beam, which shouldn't be visible in the 1st place...
Bro is getting mulched by death magic😭
if it wasn't visible it wouldn't be as cool
the radium looks so good
yeah this isnt Dune
that's what i always blamed it on but it wouldn't be far fetched to explain it cuz the galaxy big and all that
Yeah pretty much
also like warcom is consistenly wrong on stuff
since they just make "le funny lore posts" every time
Bro what situation requires orks to do this
they're also visible and invisible in DUNE as well
The situation of the waaaaaaaa
Obviously
They do it because they can. Next.
DEI Dune
That is true but they could have just like I don't know throw it in another person they must be really excited to fight this one position if they are pulling in three of them
True
So like you just wanted to be a long laser until it hits a point and disappears?
Not like Star Wars
yeah a beam
yea
gotcha gotcha
just like in hit game Warhammer 40k : Darktide
like how DoW depicts it but I think las pistols should be bolts
kill him
I think it's a perspective thing making it look small idk because the doom stalker is massive in other shots
idk we'll see
not out yet so
i hope we get army painter back
so do any nightlords not ever get tired of each other w the smells from having rotten heads and skins draped over each othr
No
That's called man smell
This is some really good wallpaper worthy level stuff.
Hey guys, what's up? I have been running a warhammer 40k Lore channel in Turkish for several months now and have reached a certain level, but would like to bring my perspective to global audiences. If you check this link (the video is English and voiced by myself) and let me know what you honestly think, I'd very much appreciate that: https://youtube.com/shorts/CUTL2Nc-krQ?si=2GaKNHowC2Z53TQL
Could the emperor survive getting thrown into a black hole?
Nah, he'd turn the black hole into the Golden Hole
nice try heretic
Bruh, he barely survived a duel with one of his gyny pigs
LOL
Wonder how close horus came to the same level of power as the emperor
Oh I haven't even check up on VTMB2 in a bit
they reversed their decision to lock Lasombra and Toreador behind special editions
they're with the base game
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will be released on October 21, 2025.
The action-RPG video game is the sequel to the cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 lets players step into its story through two distinct, alternating perspectives: Elder vampire Phyre and Malkavian detective Fabien...
id be thoroughly surprised if it isnt just a walking sim with light immersive sim elements
have you played VTMB1
4/10 gameplay 4/10 graphics best game i ever played
one upside
this game is gonna flop so hard everyone is just gonna download the Unofficial Patch and play VTMB1 instead

the first game is dogshit and that's charming
I hope the second is the same
its really not
the entire second half of the game is ass
YOU WILL FIGHT THE CHINESE HYDRA
It gets rough when you get to the sewers but before that it's great
Even then it's mostly fine imho
theres a reason the patch added an option to ENTIRELY skip the sewers
Fuckin Activision
Yeah they literally butchered Troika lol
they went bankrupt like the few months the game was out
its genuinely terrible ngl
and deciding to release it on the same period as HALF-LIFE 2
Watching Tim Cains videos they arguably had some internal issues as well but I'm still putting 99% of the blame on Activision because I'll never get another Arcanum
Yeah it was largely their fault because you can REALLY notice how rushed the game is once you go past the middle-point
Just shit it out and die bozos
past anor londo it's mid lets be so fucking real
I LOVE the game
but after OnS
eugh
At least we got VTM Redemption and Bloodlines 1 in the end
the good parts are good but near the end it's just combat after combat
tiring really
but the game is still fun
DS1 was a bit rough but at least they were allowed to finish the game to a playable state
You couldn't really play Bloodlines at launch
You needed fanpatches from the get go didn't you
I think Boyarsky was really despondent about the game and thought everyone hated it for a long time
Yeah he only noticed its popularity once the main Patch mod fixed it
it wasnt even games like nowadays where its just a buggy mess, it was basically missing essential stuff that just meant you couldnt even play the game lol
Do you think the maul has a copy of the book of lorgar they use for planting evidence
it still happens today be it rarely due to how expensive games have gotten but holy shit during that short time from 2000 to 2010 so many games were just actually unfinished
Perhaps a goodiebag of evidence to plant when he needs to write a report
I love how some of the "model viewer" in these is just pictures lol
that's actually tragic
I can't remember the last game with a good model viewer
they don't make dem like dey used to
Too true 😔
isnt that like physically atached to it
No
Without having your arm melt off or something
They’re living beings
Well
You could bash people with them
But they wouldn’t generate the field
They can't like
Lobotmize the sword
Have it generate all the time
Oh right nids don't have brains
Well
Most of them
It does sound like a sick idea though
Would be considered tech Heresy but I can definitely imagine some
The deathwatch have one
Sorta
But it’s just the claw of a
Carnifex
Xenobiologist Magos after drinking yet another can of Green Taurox (very healthy)
Deciding to try and forcefully use a mixture of technology and flesh to try and force it to activate the field
I find it insanely funny 99% of Nurgles champions are named somthing like "Shitass Putridrectum"
and their special power is basically just ripping ass so heinously foul the other guy fucking dies
He's getting fucking jumped
^ "come outside, I promise we won't jump you"
bro is volkacooked
40k is a VERY serious setting
Death by one thousand servitors
Case in point lmfao
Assscratcher Pyruria
Stinkbile Poopenfarten
Poo'n'Shi'tt'in
Speaking of Nurgle, know what I never hear about anymore? Spoilpox Scriveners, whether in discussions on lore or otherwise
I swear they were of topic in 8th edition and then they just never ever came up again
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Herald_of_Nurgle#Spoilpox_Scriveners Like the fellas are kinda cool
Heralds of Nurgle are mortals who resisted Nurgle's Rot for a lengthy period, through some can be born from other diseases. Though the disease inevitably claims them, their resistance to the ravages of the disease created a longer incubation period, spawning a more powerful Daemon. These larger, more powerful Plaguebearers often lead armies of t...
Tbh its not like they are retconned, GW are just hacks and cant let the coolboys get a turn 😔
Just look at the Deldar Weapon names
"Agonsier"
"Terrorfex"
"Void Lance'
"Klaive" and it's smaller counterpart "Demi klaive"
(what the fuck is a klaive? Knife + Glaive??)
It’s a big ass sword
Incubi exclusively use them
And some archons
This thing is a klaive
Honestly I think my favorite is Ossefactor
Literally just disfigures your bones
so what is the giant handle on the bottem for?
It’s for when they want to use it as a more traditional sword
They have numerous klaive wielding techniques
that thing looks like it would be a bitch to use like that
Its supposed to be a very versatile weapon
It’s not that bad
In most depictions
In that one it looks really fucking weird
Ultimately incubi dedicate their lives to learning how to use the dang things
So any weirdness is likely present for religious or tradition reasons
"Why are you using it like a sword?"
"...because it is?"
"Heh... HEY LOOK THIS FUCKING VAT BORN IS USING IT LIKE A SWORD LET'S FUCKING TURN HIM INTO A SKIN COUCH!"
"IT'S PERFECTLY VIABLEEAAHHHH-"
You can see a few different wielding techniques
In the squad
Ultimately incubi are fucking weirdos lol
the one in the middle has one that looks kinda like a bat'leth
They’re khaine worshipping dark eldar who have this whole system and religion
Kinda yeah
There’s also demi kalives which are shorter kalives
they also dont betray their employers iirc, insanely weird for the dark eldar
Yep
They’re honorable
Not to say they won’t throw sand in your eyes in a fight
But they won’t betray or backstab you if they’ve agreed to it
which is why the elites use them as bodyguards
Tbh wtf do they even do with all their money lol
Incubi live a pretty tame life in terms of hedonism
For drukhari
They’re more concerned with training often lol
Imagine if the creators of Space King tried to sell their own game.
"We can't stab them yet."
"Why not?"
"We did the most sacred agreement in Khaine's name... The pinky promise."

It's legally distinct
So like
Nothing would happen
It'd probably suck doodoo ass but it's not like quality matters
Tbh I have thought of attempting to make a 40k themed game but
Legally distinct
"No these aren't sisters of battle these are... Siblings of War!"

I don't know that you are that rich, Laati.
sweating in front of GW's lawyer team
Like it kinda sucks since I thought of maybe getting into game development as a hobby or just trying it out
Maybe make fan games
But then I realize
"Oh GW will become Night Lords if I ever make a 40k fan game"
get visited by the Ordo Lawsuiticus
They can't just sue anyone with soldier fighting using power armour.
Yeah but I wonder like
Off to the plastic mines with you.
I think its fine if its 40k inspired, but just not use any of the names or something
You can't know if you don't try!
Or that
I mean would T'au be considered under copyright. They're named after a Greek symbol
Or would it be the designs?
I will contribute to your GoFundMe when you need money for lawyers against GW.
GW declares they own Greece
Warframe also has a Tau faction.
isnt the word tau like under public domain anyway
As long as it is Tau and no T'au, it is good to go.
i dont think anybody can copyright or trademark the greek alphabet
Yeah but wonder like
Would the designs be copyrighted?
Like, theoretically, if I drew a space marine
Space Elf is ok, but Eldar is not.
Depends on the design of the armour.
Like it's the exact same look and design, just a different name
That won't hold.
I don't think that is district enough.
"the exact same look and design" is kind of the definition of copy...
Exactly. Probably the same issue with weapons as well.
Or vehicles as well.
If you took a land raider, replaced the treads with screws and added a turret on top, that is probably distinct enough.
*different enough?
It wouldn't.
It's just a backwards ww1 tank.
Yeah I just wonder how much you can "copy" and how much you can't
Copyright is a landmine
white dwarf cannon
Was it under the showcase portion
sagitaur walker
Or the other one
I thought that was a human in there
idk it's on the lexi
that's because it's literally an invictus warsuit with a sagitaur glue to it
Lexi puts stuff that’s in the proper like
In universe showcase section lol
Not just the “cool hobbyist stuff” section
Yeah, but it has design pattern plating to make it more "original". You can't just recycle them into your creation.
how does the model not fall backwards is my question
maybe its pinned down by where the feet is
i think some models do that right
I hope you all enjoy. Remember to drop your homebrew into our contest to be included. We are nearing our one-year celebration, so I cannot wait to share this time with you.

Actually, weird question, but could a chaos space marine life forever through cloning and eating their former body?
who starts a conversation like that
I do, after reading about how Inducti's worked.
should read about how the Iron Warriors make new astartes
That and flash indoctrination.
Good point.
who knows with inductii though
their process is so rushed they might be missing some organs or something
So Diet Marines.
SMs usually live a long time
CSMs are basically immortal
Not invincible though
Great show
Jokes aside, warp bullshit means that there are CSMs that are veterans of the Horus Heresy
Of course, it's still very easy to die.
Cause
Chaos
But you're definitely not dying by old age
Also because they are lost for a thousand year in real time doesn't mean they spent a thousand year in the warp.
Time dilation in 40K happens mostly between the dimensions.
Only a small number of CSM actually spent almost the amount of time that their age suggest.
weighted base is my bet
was mandatory for some minis back in the day
LOL
I thought dead chaos marines just reformed in the warp
Which is why it’s so hard to just
Keep them dead
You have to banish them from real space
Only champions typically get resurrected
If you're just an average chaos marine the chaos gods don't care, you're just fodder
That's daemons
In which case
Yeah how do they get more chaos marines? Is that what the cults are for?
Recruitment, cultists, kidnapping children, ect.
Traitors
It can happen through a large variety of means
Can’t help but feel like chaos marines training would be
To put it nicely
Sub-par
Guess chaos blessings would balance things out regardless
Right now the only thing that can perma kill daemons is the sword of the emperor, which is wielded by guilliman
Is that any daemon or just important ones?
Any
Daemons can be perma killed very difficulty
Via obliteration of essence
The emperors sword just does that easily
So how does one obliterate essence without the sword?
Psykers can do it with preparation and the true name
And some other factions weird artifacts
The eldar have a few melee weapons that can do it
True name being
Really hard to get, if I remember correctly
Yeah
It’s not always necessary
But it makes it a less difficult process
By a huge amount
So do grey knights have any stories pertaining to successfully killing a powerful daemon?
Seems like
A really easy way to show off how strong they are
Because why should the grey knights get to do something important
They look so cool and yet the stories are so lame
How often do modern space marines turn traitor?
Yeah the space marine games make it seem like this is a persistent problem
There's Dragan from the Lords of Silence book as an example of an individual one in the modern era. Never stated what chapter he was from originally before turning plague marine
What’s that book about? Finished my first 40k book a few days ago and still checking on what to read next

I’ll have to keep that in mind when I get bored of the imperial guard
You should read Ciaphas Cain next chance you get
My only real limiting factor is if or not I can find a physical copy
Ideally not for $90
Thanks GW
The book isn't that old, they still sell physical copies at stores
Well it’s not GW selling it for 90$
Lol
They just don’t print books forever aside from rule books
I got mine at an official store and it was only $25
Ehhhh… I have to drive two hours to the nearest book store that would have it…
It’s fine, need to get a bunch of books anyway
Not just 40k, need halo books too
Varies wildly but generally the training is... intensive
I wouldn't say good
But definitely very intensive
Basically it's usually harder than even the average SM training
Also Chaos
Gear though, unless if you're Black Legion or you're giving the Dark Mechanicus something that Slaanesh would be proud of, is a huge issue
Apparently being near to the screaming gateway to Hell doesn't do well for supplies
So how do they get new gear? Off loyalists or whatever they can piece together on their own?
I guess they got warp forged weapons as well right
that and they steal it off their own dead
Feel like that would be less effective for plaguemarines
Their armor is always in pretty terrible condition
Everything exposed to the warp mutates
They don't spend 2 months adding spikes to every world they conquer, it just happens
Allegedly there’s a way to cleanse warp and chaos corruption from items
why would you wanna cleanse it tho if youre a chaos marine
If this was canon, what would the Imperium look like?
Probably a lot better than the state it’s in now
Wasn’t the imperium like
About to win the entire galaxy before Horus decided to be a capital B 🅱️itch
Stealing and raiding
As for Plague Marines. Their armor is kinda their skin now
The Grand Crusade wasn't about to wipe out the Orks, Eldars and Necron
Yeah but if the Horus heresy hadn’t happened the imperium wouldn’t be clusterfuck that it is now
Could actually, effectively fight back
Rather than… Whatever the hell they’re doing now
Would be funny if they needed to skin corpses and shove it on the new plaguemarines
Flailing?
I think that's a good word for it
Yeah that sounds right
Tbf it literally just happens
The Imperium would be much better of, Chaos would be much weaker and dealable with
But the standard of living would still be abysmal
Wake up
Suddenly your armor is your skin now
Fuck you
At least it mutates and upgrades itself
But still
Dreadnoughts experience the same thing, kinda
Sorta but hey at least they spend most of their time sleeping
Worse than it is now?!
Btw CSM dreadnoughts are considered a fate worse than death lmao
Because you don't get the luxury of sleeping
Also daemons constantly gnaw at your mind
So you're always gonna be driven insane
Killing CSMs is considered mercy even outside the cruelty of the world
Yeesh
Depends
Chaos is like Capitalism. It dangles the idea of climbing the ladder
Only to realize that the ladder is fucking broken
Just seduce a greater Daemon easy
And you are always working for a boss that you hate and the boss also hates you
3/4 of them won't care
1/4th is Slaanesh
Given how often I make jokes about tyranid wife with my friends
I like those odds
And even then their idea of casual and gentle is by shoving a spiked club up your ass and twisting it around until your ass is literally just a bloody mess
What about Tzeenchian daemons
Surely a handful of them would go with it for the lolz
Too nerdy
Only interested in knowledge and fucking with people
And by fucking I don't mean the fun kind
I mean just ruining your entire life
Well yeah the driving people insane kind

The Joker is a Tzeenchian daemon that somehow manifested in 2nd millennium
Maybe one would be entertained enough for a date but the tzeentchian daemons probably won't feel love
I don’t imagine there are many books that explore what greater daemons are and do are there?
Every day my grammar gets worse
Than the current Imperium, maybe not exactly worse, but still just as bad
The imperium was still a genocidal fascist regime back then
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I have no misconceptions that it would be paradise
Just, not teetering on the edge of extinction levels of bad
well the thing is if they become a pest anyway like in the galaxy
the necrons just have a celestial delete button lying around
Ignoring the fact that the necrons basically never want to use it
The consequences on the rest of the galaxy would be disastrous
Weakening Chaos would also buff every other opponent since they themselves lost a strong Chaos opponent
They would just be in the same situation now just minus chaos of every single race just ganging up on them
Chaos would probably be much more like the GSC
Except the Orks
…And maybe the T’au would’ve been obliterated
Globally speaking
Orks would still gang up on the Imperium
Hell a stronger Imp. would lead to stronger Orks
Well yeah that’s what the orks were made to do
You do not understand orks love fighting and you just gave them a big strong enemy to fight which is enough reason in its own for them to form giant war bands just to fight them
hell they will probably be the most common enemy to fight
More not understanding how they’re organized
To my understanding having the imperium to fight doesn’t mean they’d also stop fighting the other species
They won't but they will be much more organized
If you give them they also become stronger because fighting and surviving is literally what makes them grow
and orks tend to be smarter the bigger they are the bigger they are
So give them a strong enemy give them a constant cycle of fighting that guy and you're just gonna make bigger and smarter orks
Oh also the Tyranids being possibly extragalactic would still be a huge problem
it would probably take them a while to notice the galaxy
without the pharaoh's device exploding
If the Pharos doesn't explode, you could argue that they might take longer to find the right galaxy
Don’t even know what the Pharos is ;-;
horus heresy lore which you just said didn't happen so
the loyalists and traitors were fighting for this thing it exploded which attracted the tyranids
Because super bright light means smart things making super bright lights
and so they decided to go to our universe
Ohhh okay
So were the Tyranids just not in the galaxy pre-heresy?
Nope they were eating other galaxies
Fascinating
there were scouts
But they went into hibernation
so they couldn't really relay the information
And if the Horus heresy doesn’t happen and chaos stays weak they don’t even have the forces of nurgle to keep them in check
Chaos would find a way to corrupt and intervene in the Emperors plans no matter if the heresy itself hadn't happened
but after the light exploded the hive mind was now sure that there is life in the universe
^
the chaos gods tend to not like a guy that unites people
if the emperor created the primarchs, then the chaos gods would find a way
Wonder how that would manifest then if the primarchs remained loyal
Without the primarchs themselves turning I figure the heresy would’ve lasted a lot longer
More drawn out
A lot of about their creation would have to change as well to not make them turn at all I feel
Oh yeah the very nature of astartes would have to be completely different
Didn’t say this alt-timeline made sense, just speculating what it would be like
And by extension, the Emperor himself
Since well he made them like that
The Emperor… At least from what little I know, is too self-absorbed to have made the primarchs any differently
And if he WASN’T so full of himself he wouldn’t BE the emperor
Is there anything about how emperor or other chapters reacted to night lords or traitor chapters pre-traitor ages? They already seemed sus when loyal but was emperor yea this is ok or no?
The emperor approved of their methods for the crusade but was planning on dealing with curze and potentially purging the legion.
As for what everyone else thought
They didn’t like them
Literally none of the other legions liked them.
The alpha legion and dark angels were the closest to people who didn’t dislike them
Was there same sentiment for world eaters? Maybe others werent that bad
Ok that makes sense. I made mistake for not buying Night Lords omnibus when I saw it on saturday. Maybe I need to go back to the shop to get it
Iron warriors liked them a lot.
Ultramarines hated them.
Everyone else liked them or was fine with them
World eaters, Mechanicum really likes them
Imperial fists fucking hated them
Everyone else was neutral to liked them
Ironically the iron warriors got along better with the loyalist legions better
Generally
Ok 👍 very odd that NLs were like that as loyalists to begin with
I mean
Loyalist != nice
The salamanders had a whole thing of “compliant or ash”
Either a world was brought in line
Or it was scorched to nothing
Oh fr? Which book says this?
It’s explained by curze pretty well.
The emperor created him and the Nightlords as his terror troops basically, however. The Nightlords recruited from Terra and curze homeworld of Nostramo. The Nightlords from Terra were fine and honourable even. The Nightlords from nostramo however became largely the worst dregs of nostramo society because the nobility of nostramo took all the good soldiers and people for themselves and sent the Nightlords the worst criminals. This got out of control because curze was with the emperor or out on crusade and it’s not until curze returned to Nostramo that we see him go ballistic with sevatar and basically say how his sons are scum.
Basically
get given criminals as recruits, you’ll get criminals as your space marines.
Ahhhh ok that makes it all more sense. I thought Curze was also bad. Did he turn bad though or chaos in the end or just evil otherwise?
Black books mention whispered rumors of a purge
Mental health issues turned him bad
Curze was insane
And nihilistic
Curse’s ultimate goal was to die
A predetermined death
Do I need NL omnibus with first 3 books to get full detail?
Ok 👍
Prolly the best dissection of them post heresy
No but I highly recommend it
Ok great, I’ll go get physical one then. I need to check if the Curze book is also available. Found it on black library
Aaron is one of the best BL authors
He also wrote the most famous and one of the best black templar books
Damn theres too many books, i gotta go buy bookshelf 😂
Nuh uh
peterabo was a literal primarch that refused chaos but was still evil
the big E didnt made a perfect job

Potions got me actin' indiscreet, call me a thespian
Mana's low, I conjured up a witch but she a lesbian
Wizzas know I roll 'em on the streets, my scrolls be wonderous
Magic spells to kill 'em in the s...
The kinda shit Tsons play from their disc of Tzeench
ALAB
All loyalists are bastards
Because Perturabo was an extreme narcissist with low self esteem and daddy issues
Its 40k-madeup
they are Hobbits/Halflings
probably just took the part of "they are lowly thieving scum" fantasy lore and just dubbed them "rats" for that reason
They are. Im talking about the term "ratling" lol
when in reality they are literally Halflings.
i wonder if the 'hobbits' just went with or just okay being coined after a rat
just a thought 
Tbh its a slur/slang term so not like they can really get a say in it lol
And they're Abhuman, them speaking about it would just end with them dead
waiting on the monday reveal praying its underworlds
It's the new gulliman model, without the armour of fate on.
Cheaper points wise, but loses toughness.
This leads to the third model of Gulliman, solidus Gulliman.
STOP THIS
Just be Gulliman in some robes or something with a bolter and the emperor's sword.
Just wait until we get another Lion El Johnson model
you made me flintch
flinch*
Lion El Johnson on a bike.
Sorry.
no nee to apologize
that's funny ha ha that's really funny anyway
COME HERE YOU LITTLE-
Each loyalist primarch, except Leman Russ will get two models.
Just make it hover and add some plasma weapons.
Also add some ravenwings details as well.
How funny would be if they made a new dorn, but he had purple spider legs instead for 40k?

Soul Drinkers were just ahead of their brothers.
No, cousins.
Dorn the abhuman primarch instead of wulfen Russ.
GW should hire me for my brilliance.
40k farming sim or Fantasy/AoS Sims?
The farm sim could have an Imperial base campaign, with Ork and Dark Eldar as DLC.
Die die die die die die die
It is Monday... We started strong...
True
do the primarchs fuck
Considering there are human being naturally as big as a Space Marines, so there could be a chance. However, as per, We don't know.
as in not the server for that?
No as in we literally dont know lol
not a single source ever says they had sex of any kind
it could possibly be a satire on us, the fanbase

If I'm 3m tall, maybe ladies would crawl on me.
Fulgrim had wives, if they ever did the nasty, we don't know
make the only primarch with wives fall to slaneesh, classic 40k subtlety
He didn't particularly love them, it was mostly political iirc
I find women wanting to date tall men frankly stupid.
But then again it’s supposed to be freedom of choice and everything.
But still, nobody controls their bloody height.
It’s just something you are born with (unless you - quite literally - mutilate your own legs to extend them to make yourself taller. For which there is a surgery for. But no, don’t do that, not worth it).
destroy ur legs integrity and in return you get slightly uncanny proportions
i could have saved angron 😔
There are reason to think that the Primarch could fuck
But that they're also not really that interested
too busy playing hoi4 to fuck
I'm literally jaghatai khan rn
Remind me to never speak again
BUY SPACE MARINES BUY BUY BUY
It is a sort of body shaming but many women refuse to admit it.
It is even more ironic when some of them don't take care of their body and have some insane diet...
What is meant to be “stop teasing fat people” has just mutated into “men are not allowed to have any physical standards”, unfortunately
It’s a long journey that took a decade
But got there we did
Max I literally said every time you say something GW will release something you hate just to make you mad

IT WAS SUPPOSED TK BE UNDERWORLDS AAAA
Email me when the underworlds shit gets leaked
So we can see the new warbands
Real time reaction of me learning about this
When a woman responds with "I prefer tall guys" and you say "You dont take care of your body and have an insane diet" there has to be some kind of like cause and effect evolutionary instinct that pops into your head right
One thing is mostly caused by genetic, the other is mostly conscious decision.
Also, I wrote "some", not everyone. Anyway, you know, whatever you like to think.
Time to drink all, BF6 might be fucked in the future.
New Gulliman approaches ever so slightly.
