You could just hate redditors tbh
"they are hte most efficent marines they are merely machines in flesh suits"
Then they proceed to make the worst decisions possible
It is allowed
i do dw
Iron hands are very heartbreaking
i know the lore dw
i still think they are idiots, they are fully grown adults nto like 16 year olds
"Oh yeah lets replace my hands with robot hands so i can be just like my dad :3"
A lot of it is pride turned ego.
The Iron Hand chapter are often misunderstood and this is true to how they would be viewed in lore. They feel the crushing weight of duty like no other chapter can because they failed, they failed to do their duty, they have failed to do what it is their father wished for them and they have failed at being astartes.
This failure is compounded upon their genetic (yes genetic) depression and unrelenting rage bought upon by the death of their father, Ferrus Manus. This overwhelming force of emotion pushes them to human vice and almost heretical thinking. They cover their removal of the flesh and their human elements as a doctrine, a method to rid themselves of the weakness within them and yet...its not really for that.
It is a coping mechanism, a crude attempt to dull the pains of emotion, where other astartes struggle to understand humanity, the Iron Hands understand very well. So much. It scares them into removing it by force. For they are tools of war and not designed to act as such, the astartes, his angels. Yet they are as human as you or me.
These acts of self-mutilation are akin to self harm, an attempt to feel something behind the crushing weight of emotionless or to prevent themselves to feel anything under the pressure of too much emotion. These acts are also reflected within the very politics inside the chapter. We have members who follow one of two doctrines;
"The flesh is weak" - the first half of the Iron Hands motto which shows off their new doctrine. Its a statement of what they believe and nothing more. Flesh is weak so it should be removed and replaced with emotionless bionics.
"But deeds endure" - the often forgotten second half of the motto which presents the entire motto in a better light. Although your flesh may decay and begin to fail you, the deeds you achive during your short time matter far more than you ever did for when you are gone what do you leave behind but the memory of your actions.
These mottos are representative of the two doctrines believed by the Iron Hands and subject of plenty debate and struggle within the chapter and their leaders. These warriors are not just tools of war but men playing the part of the soldier, scared, lost and afraid they will once again fail to live up to their purpose. They shed their human selves to rise to the task but leave only shells of people behind, a grim shadow, no better than a servitor controlled by a magos.
This matter of human emotion can also be shown in the stages of grief;
-Denial – Ferrus Manus didn’t die. He couldn’t have.
-Anger – They still have a deep seeded hatred for the Salamanders and Raven Guard chosing a taget to blame other than themselves.
-Bargaining – There have been attempts to resurrect Ferrus, desperate to undo their past failings.
-Depression – The removal of human emotion, in an attempt to stop the pain of feeling too much or to feel something at all.
-Acceptance – The realization that the human mind is strong and should not be discarded and to stay true to Ferrus' words and teachings.
In current day the Iron Hands are torn between stage four and five. Some wish to move on and embrace the old teachings of their father, fully accepting their human emotion for that is as much as a tool as any weapon avalible to them. Yet many of them remain stuck to their new teachings, ripping anything human from their core.
I know they are depressed and mourning i get it, you can literally applu teh same logic to like 5 other legions
I love muh iron hands Dilara
obsessive stalker for iron hands is the better term
Damn
theres nothing wrong with blowing up civillians btw
But god forbid we drink a couple
the flesh tearers have done nothing wrong ever
They eat mfs for no reason
Hungy is a reason
I hate those copy pasta so much. It is not even a good meme.
People get in the way so they get eaten it's their own fault
That's why I go for the high score of 500 civilians in one artillery strike
Vore lore goes crazy
If they didn't want to be teared then they shouldn't have been made out of flesh
bro really said
The need for speed?
Dont eat nor speed me please.
what does that mean you feed someone cocaine and cannibalize them ?
holy hell is this lad carrying around spare spare ribs for a quick snack
carrying spare ribs to cast magic and eat yes
whoever he is, he's in the right and morally correct also
im framing this one
the water sword
does anybody else sometimes need to take a break from grimdark and appreciate hopeful settings
or just life i guess

You made me put IDF in discord gifs to look for a reaction to this.
Why are there so many women dancing
your pfp fills me with rage still lol, i had to put up with that anime's opening song way to much
They use attractive female recruits for propaganda
its basically become a meme due to that
also makes gooners apply to the fact that what the IDF is doing is "correct" because its hot chicks also partaking in it
its not a war crime if you are hot i guess
No way in fuck anyones being bought in by that...right?
Propaganda runs deep but this feels like the weakest most pathetic kind man.
ngl many places irl make even the imperium look sane and competent

Tons. Women have been used as objectified propaganda since WW1
That's true
But we are in the modern fucking.....nevermind lmao. It just feels so impossible sometimes.
men are stupid and easy to control, just flash them an image of an attractive women and you can get them to die in a ditch on mass with little complaint
You also have Pinup women on planes and such
no, coward
That reminds me
Anime chicks at those bootcamps somewhere in Japan
I swear that was a thing
we humans havent changed much since the cavemen days sadly, it shows in everything we do
Actually yeah pretty women next to a thing has been a thing for a while especially in beauty products
I'd die for a thicc bihh ngl I'd risk it all
Hey don't look at me I'm not the one using the strategy you asked the US army for that my good well rather weird-headed friend
I joined the military because Misato from Evangelion told me so
I know I know I'm just flabbergasted
I have a deep. Instinctive hatred for advertisements to the point where I think most can see through the bs instantly
Especially for the U.S. Military
That world is an ad
yup
There was an army truck at my local fair and they had a drunk driving simulator and mortal kombat 9
Like
Why
war is fun smile
Appeal to kids
No don't get me wrong I get it but
Military has always tried to look like a video game
I don't know guys like ripping people's head and drinking while driving
But why drunk driving simulator
Because chugging six packs of beer while going down the highway is fun I guess I don't know
Giving the new recruits coping mechanisms for their PTSD
Cigs, beer, possibly weed if they get away with it
to get them ready to drive the POS military vics that handle about as well as driving drunk would be my guess
Vape
bonus points if the sim has the car break down every 200 or so miles
I will never understand how well off people go into the military its so insane
I can almost understand it if you're approaching financial ruin
They make the process easy for a reason. Recruitors are very predatory
I wouldn't even work for my government's post office or clean their toilets
Mfs literally get you when you're young
boredom and or just being stupid, rich kids are famous for both after all
I was so close to being a Navy Corpsman and I was a privileged white boy in a suburban town 😭
Theyre so fucking evil
The military famously collects people who often don't know what tf to do and people forced in by their families
I did want to join the local dragoon regiment here for the mechanical engineering education but that's the only reason I can see why you would
The most moral army on earth and the only democracy on earth! Hoorah!
Dead end folk a lot of the time. My boyfriend nearly got in and got discharged for mental health reasons
A good. Responsible veteran will tell you not to enlist

it's also that service is mandatory here so if I was conscripted I'd just choose anyway
One dude I met on a tf2 furry server told me he started seeing spiders in his boots after a military exercise
yeah i have many members of my family in the military, that is what they all say lol
its why i know "military grade" = overpriced and overhyped pos that will break down and fail after a fairly limited use
Yep. I contemplated going in during highschool once. Until I realized it's not a smart idea at all...and I could possibly get trapped in
tfw we get a morsel of Iron Hands lore 🙌 🦾
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/vehi78kr/caanok-var-iron-captain-of-clan-avernii/
GW remembered the iron hands exist?
iron hands more like iron whos
My favorite part wit these posts is like
the community post trying to make you remember who the fuck these captain figures even are
like that Torgyatton or whatever his name is Imperial Fists dude
Tor Garadon??? How do you forget Tor Garadon???
Ganondorf?
Because hes a space marine among like billions of other space marines
Its a shame imperial fists really dont have notable characters right now
I can name maybe 3 imperial fists characters and I only know two of them cause I saw a list on lexicanum
(in 40k)
tor garadon was a brand new character I think?
what an iconic chapter master
I can name two for the fists, the other is Lysander because he just got a model
Not all can handle the beauty of Kurnoth’s chosen
I think he was introduced in 8th edition , I only know him from watchers of the throne
Caanok Var has only really had a tiny couple of bits in like the 8th ed IH supplement
and a name drop before that
i think kurnoth stabbed that chosen in the head one too many times
You cannot name Sigismund
Disqualified.
📢
30k
Basically the same setting

Nah I was talking about 40k, 30k has much more memorable fisters
MarinesMarinesMarinesMarines
i will end your whole bloodline, in minecraft ofc
no...
memorable WHAT
please never call the sons of dorn that ever again
I think there is actually an Iron Fists chapter haha
got shivers in saturnine when dorn said "the traitors are here. Go, my sons. Fist them"
But a successor or whom.
Iron Hand, Imperial Fist, those dude from Perturabo (Iron Warrior? Having a dumb moment)
Also guys what would be sentences chaos cultist say for their gods like khorne followers say blood for the blood god,skull for the skull throne
"I will never shower!!!"
"Get a job."
Tzeentch I don't remember the main one
Perturado is kinda a shadow of abbadon who is a better horus
"By the dark prince, I'm geeked"
eyy i'm worshippin' heah
I cant wait for more perturabo stories
I guess tzeentch would be I'm now enlighten
These ways are about to change!
Nah chaos undivided army doesn't change
would his cultists even have a war cry?
war cry of pain before they mutate into a bloated mass of tentacles
We will change the tide of battle
yeah never heard them over the sounds of my bolter and chainsword lol
plus fighting the nids is just flat out more fun
basically its anything and everything that ends with "-THE CHANGER OF WAYS!"
All is dust
which isnt saying much as SM2 is just a slog
Why dont tzeench cultists change their ways
is that a nightlord?
Black legion
Black legion
The one that stands out to me is Camba Diaz in saturnine
I'm making an army of them
the way he dies was cool
I bought Magnus and ended up giving up thousands sons
thats the only thing I remember about him

Tzeentch armies sck man
Tzeentch is literally the best psyker and his Psyker units aren't even the best
In the name of his Lord Dorn.
Again. More. His longsword snapped. He drove the broken blade into a throat, to the hilt. He punched, empty-handed, breaking face bones. He killed a World Eater with his shredding shield, wrenching the purring chainaxe from the traitor’s hands, rotating it, making it his own. He swung. He struck. Thijs Reus knelt, headless. Diaz drove the squealing chainaxe through World Eaters plate. A fountain of gore. Thunder. Carnage. Time rushing, headlong.
In the name of his lord.
Blood flying. Bone snapping. Flesh tearing. Impacts. Collapses. Swinging. Striking. Pinned. The name of Dorn. Frenzy. Glory. Diaz. Smoke blind. Blood blind. Striking. Again. Camba Diaz. Thrusting. Cutting. Gutting. Striking. Slaying. In the name of his lord. Pinned. Unmoving. Unmovable.
And black legion is eating good
Like everytime there's a new edition they get a buff
Sloppa.
vanilla CSM are sick, they'll always get good support
and with chaos marks and stuff you can make ur own warband easily
and support it in the rules
😋 sloppa

Chaos space marines do what space marines fail to do
new ork weapon that uses acid to melt people alive
They were supposed to be average at everything masters of anything
No they are strong base stats with versatility
They are flat out just op
I'm at my job right now
Ohhh
Chaos space marines already have a job
Micro managing their workship to be undivided
It's legit a full time job to feed 4 babies equally ok
Night Lords make tapestry
Found a crazy transphobic edge lord heavy metal band using warhammer inspired designs
Please god let GW find them
LOL
So odd question, but doesn't the Angel/Angel of Destruction sound like something from the SCP series?
How good/capable is Demetrian Titus? How does he stack up in a 1v1 against other well known named space marines?
It is a concept existed for way longer than SCP.
Even before Christian and their angels.
About as good as most Marines captain.
I'm talking about killing Humanity itself because they can be corrupted.
Yes
So you'd say he's around Acheran's skill and ability?
Purging humanity has appeared many times on many mythologies.
Dude is a former captain, served well with Death Watch and what not, yes, he is as good if not better.
But even within the Ultramarines, there are other captains like him. It is nothing really special.
Ok
Canto Sicarius was a captain after Titus, dude got lost in the warp in the heat of battle for quite a while and re-emerged.
Was because he got better job to do, so he left the post.
Don’t even start with that Mary sue
It is the UM, what do you expect?
Fair
You got one dude who got lost in the warp for years and somehow returned
One dude who’s immune to chaos for absolutely no reason
A primarch who’s died twice and been resurrected twice
And then you have uriel
Ventris is another captain did the same thing, went into the Eye of Terror, kill demons for a while, got out, declared free of corruption by GKs, etc...
Because he said no

Chaos can't do shit if you just say no
Would throwing the Angel into the warp be a good or bad idea?
Throw the emperor into the warp
That's where all the bolters with bayonets went.
Bear bull bear bull
“For the Republic!” Oh wait, wrong franchise. 
no no that's fine here as well
Man, I miss the OG Battlefronts 
I instantly thought of arco-flagellants but those are tassels and not whips
That’s only applicable for Rogal dorn.
its part of kardan stronos trust me this will be the year of the iron hands finally trust trust
the suspiciously leman russ shaped edition
Untrue
It's not just saying no
It's not falling to the desires and gifts
And that's why I'm chaos undivided
alpharius would be the funniest to bring back rn
I just accepted everything

Me when the slaanesh demon tells me I can get all the weird clowns I want
It's that simple
Just say no
Like in those anti drug ads
Just as planned, or something like that.
Usual chaos factions telling me about their army rules
Me just having all of them at will

It's ok he will possess the body of the soldier that step on him
Would the toad grow the armor with the faces
Yes
But what if I give you eggnog?
i tried to post it but bot murdered me but lost steel confessor lore was finally found dm if u want

Holy Rushdown
Not saberwolf from killer instinct? 
its like both lmao
wall hang makes me think spiderman from MVC3
Glad its not the arcane design
LOL
that is true and he basically has a Feral Rage mechanic
Oh yeah that is true
Question is how the hell is he not running out of chemtech fluid
chemical plant inside me
Tbf he’s Singed’s magnum opus(so far) in terms of horrific biological and mechanical augmentation
Warwick literally cannot die
And now he spends his time brutally mauling and slaughtering zaunite chem barons and criminals
What a guy
yeah so when he enters A berserk state he literally pushes his body to the limit and just becomes super fast and strong right
It causes immense pain and turns the metal claws red hot along with injecting a bunch of drugs into his system.
Doesn’t really have an effect on the mental state
yeah but every time i see him activate it though he seems to go very quick
It allows for better precision for Warwick to track down his target of choice
That is literally the drugs
lol
So it's basically a on demand button to be more of a crash out
Yes
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/vehi78kr/caanok-var-iron-captain-of-clan-avernii/
hrrnhg
It might activate on its own
eh good enough
So the Steel Confessor lore was found.
by eternal no less which is funny
Eternal?
Someone used to be here.
person who found it big iron hands fan used to be here
Spent hours to explain why he doesn't care about something... for some reason.
They really must not care if they care so much making it clear they don't care
Do people actually drink Eggnogg or is it just like a meme?
Just out here drinking egg, milk, sugar and brandy
it's a popular christmas drink so surely there are people drinking it
Yes!
Its pretty good, and if you can dilute it to an extent, works well in pancakes
Definitely dilute it though because it becomes too thick
It is quite nice, but imo Spiced hot wine or hot chocolat is better than Eggnogg
Literally bought more today
Mulled Wine ?
Never heard of it, either
It is quite common for winter/christmas season in Europe
Oooh, not a fan of raisins though, but sounds good
i ask myself the same thing every year
Egg yolk mixed with hot milk, and some sugar, sometime with alcohol
Its like egg and milk mixed with some spices like cinnamon
Sugar, sometimes some alcohol
It's peak
that's the kind of shit i'd mix when drunk or high
a drink with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolk and whipped egg white
you can drink it without alcohol but some people add it
usually a distilled spirit such as brandy, rum, whiskey or bourbon
It's pretty easy to make
Silly question, but do you guys sell eggnog down in the Phillipines?
I could make it..
mulled wine is a must for every winter season or you're living it up wrong
it's not really popular here
Ok, but what is typical drink for the cold season in the Phillipines
hot chocolate, ginger tea, coffee and Hot Calamansi Juice
A tart lime juice/lemonade-esque drink of sorts?
It's juice made from calamansi a citrus hybrid common around here
the fruit itself is quite sour, although the peel is sweet
It's often mixed on a variety of things to add that sour punch
I would've expected the opposite, with the flesh being sweet and the peel sour
Is the peel used for pastries ?
it's used in a lot of things besides juice
tbf, it is the same for lemons
Huh, well they are related
from where i'm from it's normal to mix calamansi and soy sauce
We call it a toyomansi
The typical but rare plant that we consume in my region is Woodruff, which we steep in white wine alongside oranges, cinnamons and with stronger liqueurs
It probably adds some citrus/sourness to the soy sauce
Good for dips it sounds
I know my mom does something kinda similar with citrons or small oranges
we use it both as a marinade and dipping sauce
Citrus (or ginger) in marinades are great as they'll tenderize the meat
Is Eggnog cake a thing?
You could probably make it into a cake
It's a drink
I think theyre asking if someone has attempted to bake it into a cake
if that is the case then they could probably make it into some sort of cake thing after all it's made of
milk, cream, sugar, egg yolk and whipped egg white
I mean, just add some butter and flour and you get a cake
but you probably need to add some extra yeah
I wanna try that now
Ive done that
Its TOO thick
You need water to dilute it out
Otherwise it won't cook properly
Just made crepes dough and added some melted butter
Crepes are so easy to make the dough (Just mix flour, eggs and some milk, a little bit of salt, and sometime some sugar if you're doing only sweet ones)
But cooking them can be somewhat tricky tbh
Yeaaaah I could imagine, considering how thin they get
When is Chaos ever fair?
Which do i read first
How does this sound for a necron overlord concept? A overlord who’s neural engrams never shut down properly during the Great Sleep, so for eons he has sat, partially conscious but unable to wake, through the torment of time and the ravages of entropy
Thoughts?
Heh, it is very easy to do.
their is already a character already like this minus the being awake the whole time thing he doesnt realize hes made of metal still or something
Like the really thin ones ?
Beer crepes are easier as you are making them a little bit thicker but the really thin ones are a pain
That somewhat sound like the Destroyer virus, which could be nice as an Overlord that has many Destroyers
Yeah, maybe I'm too used to do them.
Also, when I made it when I was younger, I was under my mom's surveillance... Asian moms have high standards.
That’s zandrekh and that’s different
He was still asleep
He just is in partial denial
Oh right Asian crepes are paper thin right ?
Is the dough like very liquid then ?
I thought destroyers still slept but their engrams were corrupted during sleep
But in his book he reveals he might not be as unaware as he seems
I’ll expand on this later
Nope. My mom learnt it when she lived in Belgium, which is the OG crepe place.
Wait are we claiming crepes ?
We actually don't like asian "crepe".
I always thought it was from France that we got it
Belgium is a 3 countries in 1.
I not chinese, I not understand.
Fair
Where in Belgium are you from ? Or where your mom lived ?
I'm from the southest part of Belgium, Luxembourg Province
Liège
That's where I'm at rn
Id suggest Elemental Council as break from imperial stuff for xenos.
Then do the 2 Shorts pre-Above and Beyond then the actual book.
Then can finish up with Lion

Use 1d3.
Warhammer fans when non helmeted marines look slightly different
Dude the fucking rage over those 4 heads has been phenomenal
WHAT IS THE ISSUE LMAO
There’s literally nothing wrong
ITS LITERALLY NOTHING
these people are actual sociopaths
what are they mad about now
Some of the new marine faces are ugly
lol
In a big sprue of marine heads
this sprue specifically
they are saying "they look feminine"
when they are more asian-coded lol
Context, Sah.
Look above
about as femenine as a woman on all of the roids
We got some new marine heads and people don't like em, big man
anyway second primarch confirmed woman
To be fair
if it wasnt gonna be this
they'd get upset that theres black heads lol
Oh.. oh no.. the Emperor has abandoned us! Why do they all look Asian in some way? Like it gives me twink asian vibes, Sah!
At least the 4 big zoomed in ones
I mean the surgeries don't change face structure does it?
Sorry, Sah.
Or have gigantism features

I wana see the actual sculpts
Not the studio paint jobs
Especially for face sculpts lol
not gonna lie though It would be funny if every marine looked exactly the same
Because the studio paint jobs edge highlight too much imo
Extremely
White guy convention...
Raven guard/j
Corax’s geneseed steals your melanin over time
no hair
exactly
Just the roblox man face on all of of them
The emperor never abandoned humanity but humanity doesn't realize the flaws of him
You could always ignore em or make custom ones. So it's a none issue to me personally.
Fan stuff is superior
He isn't humanity savior he is taking the consequences of his actions
jaggaguykalm is coming back
No like the emperor messed with chaos and he ended a corpse
His intentions were good
But he failed
Do you have games on your phone loyalist
He was just roleplaying bro lol, no need to lecture the poor guy on the lore
That, and the new heads don't even look bad either
If this is bait then it's master class
How does a funny looking face equate to trans
Maybe I'll buy em if I ever need some heads
It's to make humanity use the gods like the tools they wanna see us as
Big E is okay, I just wish the Emperor would not be very arrogant. But maybe that's the point for story telling.
And-
Blam

4channoids and chuds have only seen transgender people in those wojak memes
I looked at his profile and the dude's a European medieval larper, I don't think its bait 
Say it ain't so
I have trans in my family man
Didn't think so anyway
But I acknowledge the lore of wh40k has reasoning for all space marines being man and stuff
Also trust me female space marines are mostly an issue cause of chaos
If slaneesh got male and female marines that would mean self reproduced emperors sons
And that would be an issue and a major lore change
Average 40K fans, don't know that Marines are supposed to be ugly mutant with authority.
I prefer my marines to look like this Sah:
IMHO

I am a gue' la
Because Asian marines exist
"twink vibes" is crazy
Twink gaming
Wish we could ban these people from the hobby #40k-lore-chat message
Probably the only time I'd support gatekeeping
The first line is kind of funny ironically
“Most of these non helmet heads look like abominations or mutants”
Astartes are legitimate mutants
FR LIKE THATS THE POINT MF
THESE PEOPLE
Brother doesn’t know Astartes+ are actually mutants
crazy that mutant looks weird and tiny sculpted faces can look a little off
this is because of woke
they are the cause of everything wrong with warhammer 😔
wait till they find out that necrons can be trans

CLANKERS
Little guy
They're by definition abhuman and mutants yeah. But they're one of the good ones in the imperium.
I think the octrasizing of Mutants is one of my least favorite things about the imperium
Idk I just think it'd be cool to have loyalist mutants
Then again
stares at kriegsmen

Look up the Black Dragons
There is the felinids
Oh those are the fugly marines right
They’re the ones with the bone growths
Wolverine marines lol
wdym "least favorite"
Lmao
you expect the imperium to be tolerant? lol
Funny enough they're suspected to be of salamanders lineage
Let me be sad about the sad things in the 40k universe!
your people? 💀
Blocked and sent quadrillion nukes
Imperium has gotten soft and tolerant recently, it’s unacceptable. Pump up evil levels to moustache twirling evil.
this guy gets it!
In the most common version of the imperial cult what type of God is the emperor seen as? The creator of all things type of god or is he thought to be created himself and ascended to godhood?
They are pretty cool
Creator
No
No lmao
Xenos are viewed like satan
Then he can't be the creator of all things lol
Emperor is just the father of hunanity yeah?
A book where Abaddon sits in a swivel chair, turns to the hero protagonist and says "I've been expecting you."
Welcome to hypocritical religion lol
In imperial cult lore- oh
PRECISELY
Eh Idk has there been any known teaching that he "created all things" but then also teach he didn't create aliens?
Okay according to the Imperial cult. The emperor is the creator of all things. Is his invention of Xenos ever explained by them
Like
Are they just a test lmfao
Its hypocritical, thats the point.
Its not.
they just exist
Xenos are the work of the devil
TECHNICALLY thats chaos

Not really. He could create the xenos to be killed by humans. Not hypocritical that's just how he did it
Chaos/Daemons and the traitor primarchs are treated as the devil and hell figures
Yeah really.
Maybe I misunderstood what you mean
Nowhere in the lore is it said he created xenos in religious text
the Cult just ignores it
Is it stated he didn't create them?
It isn't stated at all
We don’t wanna talk about it
Then we can't say for sure that this part is hypocritical
I'm sure other parts are but not this
The lore has never ever stated that he made xenos.
its hypocritical because they acknowledge that hes a creator deity but then just ignore all the other sentient races
thats the point of the imperial cult
This is giving me religious debate ptsd
And on the fifth day, Big God E made servitors
they are satirical of corrupt IRL religious groups ala the old catholic church

I get that. What I'm saying is that the absence evidence is not evidence of absence
I mean it is, we got no evidence saying otherwise lol
That's just not a good way to look at it no offense. These things just haven't been covered by any author
It's up for guessing until it is confirmed one way or the other
....yes and thus they dont exist
this is how the lore works lol
if its not stated ever or argued against these topics just havent been covered at alll
Headcannoning that "it has to exist" doesnt really count as Official Lore™

What are we debating today, gamers?
I didn't say it has to exist. You said it doesn't exist when you can't know this until it is covered by an official source
But I don't want to argue
Thank you for the answers either way
A guy in SM2 server once told me his head cannon on my main chapter (BT) was more important than my facts I provided sources for.
Lmao
Often times it doesn't feel satirical it often feels very real given everything right now. The two feel so on par sometimes. Blind faith in a thing that doesn't exist and punishing people for not submitting to your fiction, not in the literal way its just
I hate racism and homophobia

Because 40k has largely lost its satire in favor of commercialisation and mass-appeal.
It really should go back to that tbh
The issue is GW couldnt have exactly guessed how semi-dystopian 2025 was gonna be lol
40k lost literally all of it
in like 6e tbh
3e was the first big like
loss of it
They at least had the balls to say 40k is a cautionary tale
not that the fanbase cares lol
this post was made during the BLM riots
I hope you killed him
which kinda says a lot
Jk
👆
ALL WILL BURN ON THE PYRE OF PROGRESS
I just turned off discord after that
But basically yeah
the authors still SOMETIMES try to do that satirical stuff
but the poster-front of the setting never does
its why I love shit like Helldivers
theres ZERO attempt to make Super-Earth look good
There's still some satirical stuff in novels
yeah like i said
the tone is still there
its just the poster-front of the IP doesnt try it in any way lol
Yeeeeeep
the animations where it shows the Imperium actively being evil get a ton of uproar
ala that kid at the end of Nexus getting killed
Yeah because the game's delusional fans do that for them 😭
people thinking episode 1 of the tithes was unrealistic
or the Ultramarine being a dick to Sakan
LMAO
people asking why the high security cities aren't secure at all with automated guns
unironically
when they don't realize high security means RECORDING
LOL
I suggest anyone to read Super Earth's wikipedia page
its legit like
depressingly evil
you get a camera in your bathroom
its very close to some shit IRL rn
in your bedroom
in your office
in your car
the high security cities are literally just surveillance state prime
lol
you also get mentally and genetically scanned to meet the quota and see if you harbor any genetic deviance or mental thoughts
its fucking depressingly dystopian
lmao
Also like
you cant even rely on anyone
you do one shit and someone will snitch you
and you'll essentially get sent to a slave labor concentration camp
ala China lmao
let the Automatons take POWs like the cyborgs did
lol
It'll be really fucking funny
god imagine like an objective where it asks you to eliminate corrupted super-earth citizens by automatons
and your objectiv eis blowing up containers that just play voicelines of like "PLEASE HELP US"
and the moment you do the container explodes into bloody chunks

💀
i think the closest we still have is like
destroying rogue research stations and propaganda towers
otherwise nada
Saw this earlier
Its a funny ass reaction at least
preem example of how people use space king for chud-quotas too tbh
oh yeah also fun fact
Helldivers 2 has some dead cyborgs in it
Its a warlord from 1 lol

What
Like beyond the stuff in game?
from what i can tell its basically the cyborgs having sent a fabricator arkship of some kind before they were defeated in HD1 to build the automatons to one day liberate them by building up an invasion force from the other side of the galaxy? Which is where the first automaton forces were when the game launched.
its a very cool lore drop
Is true, Space Marines 2 confirmed this for me. 
I wonder what the nucleus woulda been
Idk
We dont know yet i dont think
this is the biggest loredrop we got for the Autos in 2 years lol
I really think it’s only because like
Making cyberstan is gonna be a pain in the ass
Map wise I mean
100% lol
i hope they dont just make it a shithole ice planet
i want factory-worlds
Most sane friendly reasonable Zealot before being released on Atoma Prime by the Inquisition. 
Is it true that the deployable auto turrets are remotely controlled by super earth children
bugs have the hiveworld caves and stuff
and the illuminate will probably get
something
Has this mf even read a sisters of battle book?
no
Though that would be really funny
Okay cuz I saw a guy say that and that its the reason why they shoot friendlies so often lmao
Illuminate need more units, there’s like a magic dude in the files I really want to be released
Him and his goblins
Probably shouldn't play Warhammer 40k then. 
You'll always find people like that.
I was in a game last night, and good Lord.. the things someone said to me for not carrying.

Clearly not
No btw that guy has said he gets his warhammer lore from dawn of war
No homophobia so thank goodness.
In story atleast
The community can be a mixed bag
I'm thinking it'll be like the Super Earth cities but Cyborg themed and yeah factory forge worlds similar to Warhammer 40k but with some snow. Like that one Darktide map. Hopefully, that's my hopes and guess.
40k is only for big boys
40k is only for people who like BIG SWEATY BUFF MEN
https://youtu.be/vp5AwkMF1cE?si=sqJgakkfjMsffxsbow better not show him this audio from the our martyred lady audiobook, he will have an absolute meltdown when he finds out an entire Black Templar crusade fleet were led in prayer and commanded on the battlefield by saint celestine, a woman.
The Saints prayer from ‘Our Martyred Lady’ audio drama
yeah and IT IS in the files according to r/helldivers leaks
Well, I'm not rainbow personally but this one time someone called me some rainbow hate slurs. Lol 
I just ignore and block em. Simple as 
Gud
Yeah the hobby is always gonna have nazis
you just ignore them or find better places
like here lol
I had people thank me for doing what we do to keep the place relatively clean which is nice, most 40k servers never bother with this shit
I would kind of say it's fostered in most 40k groups ngl
Depends
Nah
its not in a lot of them
Defo not only 40k
40k has the biggest concentration
AOS and WHF rarely have nazis
because theres no nazi-adjacent faction ala imperium
Nah I'm not saying every 40k group harbors nazis, but there are a weird amount of 40k spaces you "walk into" and there's a lot of real on the nose stuff being said
AoS and WHFB just have normal racists
from my expierence
not facist ones lol
Oh man yeah 100%
like we literally had an incident over it with the austrian painter guy
where GW had to make that warcom announcement lol
Idk Dilara, sigmar has apparently been saying a lot of derogatory things about half breeds and elves recently.
Sugmar dick
AAAA
anyway basically tldr: more Helldivers lore please
im an automaton robo-glazer idgaf
can they make the bot front stop fucking crashing
fuck no

I dont think ive ever met someone only into AoS or Fantasy
I have
Look the funniest time in the main 40k discord server
is pride month
where I get to watch a turkey shoot occur

Yeah, that was normally funny
I should join there purely to watch the procession next june
Vessel-00 stuff had some small bits and I need more of that
but oops more squid mos
My enjoyment is
Automatons
Squids
Bugs
Unless I get that one Squid spawn setup with a morbillion fleshmobs
fleshmob my most hated
Only thing I hate more is war striders for limiting my loadout smh
Both are annoying just in different ways
one of the worst enemies in the game
Outside of gloom bugs it's the one enemy I just entirely ignore
I'm not going to stand here magdumping a single enemy when there's like 12 of them
Btw popping off the heads doesn’t deal more damage.
It just transfers 100% of the damage to the main HP pool
I only shoot them when they’re actively in the way tbh
I've taken to just juking them and then ignore, whoever designed it will pay when I virus their workstation
That's literally the exact in game tip for the tyrant in doom eternal 
I mean there is no actual tactic to dealing with them
You just shoot them until they die
Fleshmobs have no weakness aside from fire
So just keep shooting them lol
Boring ass enemy
krieg fans are def nazi adjacent...
salamander fans are the newbs to the genre
iron warrior fans are the intellectuals (me)
drukhari fans should be on a watchlist
tau fans are tree huggers, filthy gue'las
Id say its not THAT much but theres definitely a certain crowd of it
most nazi imperial fans tend to be space marines usually
i speak from experience 💀
which space marine legions 
Naturally
Iron warriors
oh...
You aren’t an iron warrior are you?
got his ass
