Everyone's gonna be the teacher's pet

arctic talon
#

Depends on which teacher

vernal yacht
#

That might piss em off even more lol

arctic talon
#

The retired schola scribe is gona be nicer then the comissar who had to retire because he had his spine blown out

opaque coyote

Although since being the teacher's pet can become annoying that probably also will get you executed

#

Thank u for the insight on the corpse starch as well, it’s definitely very nutrient dense for sure

arctic talon
#

No problem

dire loom
#

It truly is, honestly. I'd go insane if I can't have beef jerky and a red bull.

Jokes aside, get that cannibal corpse starch paste away from me! angymorrow

arctic talon
#

The additives are likely to ensure you can subsist entirely off of it

opaque coyote
dire loom
#

The food is disgusting!-

arctic talon
#

But yeah the most dreaded physical exercise in the schola progenium is “the wall”

#

Which is climbing up a shear rock face

#

With full kit

opaque coyote
#

Like if you're high school age, you have less of a chance of being shot vs like elementary school

arctic talon
#

While being shot at

#

With heavy bolters

dire loom
#

What normal food can they actually eat though at least I'm the Mobian domain?

vernal yacht
#

I’m new to the whole 40k world and as soon as I heard about corpse starch i was like “oh, that’s terrifying”

dire loom
#

They got smokes but what else?

#

No not eat smokes

#

I mean they got something resembling modern normalcy

#

A literal bar too

dire loom
#

I've seen those cutscenes

opaque coyote
# arctic talon While being shot at

Honestly I'm just wondering how that would work exactly.

Like are the heavy bolters far away. Do they just shoot randomly at a general direction or do they try to aim it at students

storm jungle
#

Who the fuck knows

lmao

#

what does it matter what their distance is

All we know is they actually fucking kill you while you’re climbing

If you’re too slow

#

lol

storm jungle
vernal yacht
#

I mean in boot camp for the army they did live fire drills, but they basically just shoot into the tree line way above you

arctic talon
#

Yeah that’s because real life is sane

storm jungle
#

there they SOMEWHAT want you to live

arctic talon
#

The imperium is batshit insane

storm jungle
#

this isnt the case here

vernal yacht

But the army IRL actually cares about their soldiers

arctic talon

Now a "training accident" can cost someone their job lol

arctic talon

I don't know anyone who could do that, especially without help or special equipment.

Though ultimately it varies wildly

opaque coyote

#

Unreal

arctic talon

Some planets have a lot more luxury available

vernal yacht
arctic talon
#

The mourningstar has alcohol, a lot of food, drugs and actual beds

#

So

#

Not bad

storm jungle

tbh

arctic talon
#

Also cigarettes

storm jungle

and, well modern shiplife too tbh

#

Though some gambling dens cater to poorer people

#

No

#

They just have actual slaves instead

#

lol

#

Instead of wage slaves

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

All we know is the schola progenium sucks ass

#

lol

#

And some vague stuff on what often goes on in them

#

Fun fact, teenagers/older kids sent to the schola progenium get abused more to make up for “lost time” in training

dire loom
arctic talon
#

Yes

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Though often only for the “state”

#

If that makes sense

#

Or rich people

#

lol

#

The mechanicus runs off of slavery

dire loom
#

Who does it the most? Imperium?

storm jungle
#

Take a read

me and Rabs spent months making this entire page

💀

due to questions just like that lol

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

I went through

#

so many sources

#

we are 50 rn

#

and its gonna keep going lol

arctic talon
#

The only sapient factions without slaves

#

Are the Craftworld eldar

#

And tau

storm jungle
#

Correct.

arctic talon
#

But the tau have prison camps

#

So

#

That’s slavery technically

#

They don’t have chatel slavery and such

#

They just have slavery via prison

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Fun

dire loom
storm jungle
#

since shit like "indentured servitude" was entirely made up

dire loom
arctic talon
#

Glorious greater good work camp

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

as to not sound like "slave"

#

even tho its literally slavery

#

same with serfs

#

and peasantry

arctic talon
#

Smh

#

And also get branded

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Jokes aside tau prison and re education camps(not the death camps) aren’t the worst

storm jungle
#

literally every fucking kind

arctic talon
#

They want you to keep on working

#

Till you either learn or until you die from natural causes

#

Tau death camps are well

#

On the fucking name

#

LOL

#

Those are the ones where you get worked to death in, but they’re more rare

#

Due to the fact prisoners the tau empire wants to dispose of are more valuable for

#

other things

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Experimentation, eugenics programs, propaganda

storm jungle
#

i guess they dont really count too much tho

#

since its not really slave labor

#

idk

arctic talon

But like

#

Yeah ill try to find em later

opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

yeah uh as you can see

#

the longest entry in this page

is the Imperium

#

Lots of reading though

storm jungle
#

Either read up or blow up

opaque coyote
dire loom
#

Is there anyway y'all could make a YouTube video about this for my Ogryn brain?

opaque coyote
#

Since the Imperium is focused on more

storm jungle
#

the Imperium largely beats them by population

#

and the types of slavery they do

#

which is expansive

opaque coyote
#

Ah

#

Makes sense

#

Chaos Slavery generally can be summarized as "sacrificial lambs"

dire loom
#

Without slaves, the Imperium collapses it seems.

storm jungle
#

Pretty much lol

#

cant treat anyone like a human being

dire loom
#

I don't think people would volunteer for some of these jobs.. KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle

I mean

#

thats what slavery is

dire loom

If not all of em

you cant volunteer

The new PvP mode for Space Marines 2 looks fun

I don't think grox is the only beast in Mobian domain right?

we know they have camalids

I think I've seen some proto skaven?

Sometimes life feels like that, but hey it could always be worse!

opaque coyote
vernal yacht
#

So basically life in 40k boils down to “what flavor slavery do u like the best?”

opaque coyote
#

It's just like real life!

opaque coyote
#

Also due to the Imperium running off of feudalism. Your pay is extremely inconsistent

arctic talon
#

there's non slaves in the imperium

#

lol

#

Its just that the jobs still suck ass

#

mostly

opaque coyote
#

Not in actual amount but in where it actually works

#

Unless if you manage to negotiate for solid resources

#

Although tbf there's not much of a chance that you'll get out of the system you're in

#

Or ship

dire loom
#

Okay, so I think I know how it goes.

For Atoma ancient wildlife ecosystem.

Grox eats the camel, camels drink water or eat dirt or something?

opaque coyote
#

Localized currency, every system is a fucking company shop

vernal yacht
#

and what makes someone a “noble” those guys are pretty well off aren’t they?

opaque coyote
#

Locally at least

vernal yacht
#

Ok makes sense

opaque coyote
#

Of course being a noble in some backwater planet and being a noble in Terra has much different implications

arctic talon
#

being a noble on terra is pretty shit

#

tbh

dire loom
#

Maybe the wildlife is more at the poles and is a rarity and Imperium mostly uses Atoma for mineral resources.

arctic talon
#

you're incredibly powerful

#

but you also have to live on Terra

dire loom
#

But can we eat and hunt space boars and cows? Or am I doomed to corpse starch?

opaque coyote
dire loom
#

Is there special drinks?

#

I've seen em drinking

#

What is in that stuff?!

#

I must know!

arctic talon
#

lol

#

but Atoma likely doesn't have a ton of tasty wildlife left

#

considering its a uh

#

hiveworld

vernal yacht
#

Jk jk

arctic talon
#

there are likely bee worlds

#

tbf

#

some agri world whos monoculture is bees

vernal yacht
#

I mean there’s a planet of catgirls so bees doesn’t sound that far off

arctic talon
#

most common alcoholic drink in the imperium is Amasec

#

tbf Felinids have huge claws

dire loom
# arctic talon Depends on the world

In character creation there is a agri world background within the Mobian domain. Do we know what wilife is like there? Is that where most of the Mobian food comes from?

#

Drinks to?

#

Ambrosia?

arctic talon
#

The agri worlds likely provide most of the Domains food

dire loom
arctic talon
#

But that specific agri world

"A small agri-world that produces intensively farmed and mass-harvested grain crops. Rocyrians are the butt of many jokes, considered 'backwards' by other Moebians, and yet they are hard-working and honest to a fault."

#

TLDR

#

GRAIN

#

Agri worlds ironically do not have good wildlife distrubution often

#

due to being giant farm worlds

dire loom
arctic talon
#

But Amasec is broad

#

as a drink

dire loom
#

Now what do they use for hops substitute..

arctic talon
#

it is however made from grains

#

as far as we know

dire loom
#

Holy Terra resources heavily guarded.

vernal yacht
#

Most of the stuff is probably just pure grain alcohol

dire loom
#

So bad to be something similar but not exactly

vernal yacht
#

Like everclear/moonshine

dire loom
#

Hmm..

arctic talon
#

Ambrosia is an actual drink

#

in the imperium

#

well drink is a stretch

#

"Ambrosia is a thick liqueur made on Kappa Veldt. It’s made of some sort of insect secretion, sweet, full of sugar crystals that crunch pleasantly between the teeth. Ambrosia has a gloppy consistency. On contact with the air it begins to glow softly, a characteristic that the drink is famous for. It is expensive for those who buy it after being exported off-world and can be found in some hive spire bars or middling similar upper-class areas of a hive city."

#

There's this one agri world thats a monoculture hell lol

dire loom
arctic talon
#

as in they only grow one plant

#

tbh I'd assume they'd taste not bad

dire loom
#

Yeah because we technically already eat stuff like that if you believe the professionals.

#

With the degrees IRL

green loom
#

It's probably worse irl tbh

dire loom

I think it's more so some people would get bored of eating the same thing over and over again.

# opaque coyote One thing that I desperately wish human kind learns is that financial status doe...

Not many people do though. They rather have us exterminatus all the homeless as if it were nothing. Instead of helping them and figuring out the cause and sources of the problem as to why that happens. The greedy elites just want us to throw it under the rug, wash our hands and pretend it never happened. If they're truly lost, I understand but at least fucking try. When a boss fires you it's basically them trying to kill you at that point. Especially if it's over something stupid. Low-key of course.

The city I threw together was called Fernheart and we’re known for their devotion to purifying the realm and grown Silver Ferns, a metallic looking fern that had purifying properties.

That would be a fun conversion project

rose thorn
#

oh yeah

#

Outside the walls of the city a darkoath tribe devoted to Nurgle called the Fowlblooded Princes reap the lands to earn entry into the city. They worship Nurgle as the ‘The Gutted King’, a warrior king who became immortal after reaching the moment between life and death. They now seek to reach that point themselves and become immortal warriors along with their god. The Fowlblooded Princes believe Sigmar was a false god and his stormcasts are abominations created by him to suppress the realms.

the idea is they'd still be fighting for the same thing they used to

#

its just that they can never achive it

dire loom
#

True

arctic talon
#

they're forever looking for somewhere to "found" the city

#

even as everything they brought with them has long since become useless for that

dire loom
#

That's why they're relatable.

#

Still waiting for a good clan game

arctic talon
#

also tbh the reason I picked cities of sigmar

#

is because they have Orders and such

#

it fits in with the whole they're still an actual army thing in my mind

even if they're completely fucked up

Hopefully DUNE Awakening is the one.. but we'll see. Otherwise refer to the image of undead knights above. ^

Yes.

Everything else will just be a flash bang surprise to me

But I have a feeling..

Oh and Chaos Wastes is just the other hive city of different planets

That's my guess

Oh makes sense

#

Also I was made aware about something on the tabletop that should be errata

#

If noise marines and lucius can use chaos space marines rule but only choose slaneesh why do other allies just lose their chances to army rule

#

Why not applying this rule to all allies

#

Ur a bezerker you can only do khorne pact

#

Rubrics only tzeentch

shadow plover
#

that's a remnant of the index rules for lucius before the proper Emperor's Children codex was released

#

If I'm recalling the same rules as you are thinking

remote wadi
#

The thing emperors children codex is 10th edition

celest dome
#

Kharn was available for CSM before the World Eater were introduced properly

remote wadi
#

And the datasheet for lucius and noise marines affirm they can be played as csm with the army rule but only choose slaneesh pact

#

Why don't we apply this to all other units

#

Even if they do have their own armies

#

Was it too strong?

celest dome
#

Cause they'll lose that ability sooner than later

remote wadi
#

We can still use rubrics and beserkers

#

They just dont have any army rule

#

I'm just saying at that point either give us the chance to use their specific army rule for them on specific or to pact of their god

#

Cause having no army rule at all it's just I guess I'm taking legionaires then

#

And it would make sense to take pactbound and use our allies units with their specific gods

#

And that is actually quite balanced

Quick rant: I saw a post about the "female" looking space marine heads that talked about the "sculp" of the heads having female features. Mother fucker, you dont know what the sculp looks like! None of us do! We only got a straight on shot of all the heads that were already painted, making it almost impossible to tell the sculpt from a single image. And GW seems to be experimenting with how they paint their skin/faces recently. To my knowledge, we have not had any images of the heads unpainted so there is no way to tell what the sculpts of the heads actually are. Rant over.

youve correctly identified that it's stupid and demented

Xenos are minorities

Also marines would obviously be a mix

Since the rule is competence nothing else

Also a man marine could wear female makeup

Astartes geneseed is secretly estrogen

Just because they are minorities they don’t deserve the same treatment as the majority?

Nah I think they can theoretically outnumber humans

Daemons are in way vaster numbers if we consider the great game

I heard that the player population is really low

Oh yeah thats pretty bad

# celest dome Eldar and Tau might be less numerous

Tau are definitely less numerous (tiny fraction of the number of worlds and they don't even build misery hives to populationmaxx)
Eldar its hard to say but i think their current population is substantially lower too (its not like people are stumbling over croneworlds or craftworlds very often)

#

There's probably more craftworlds than we know of but they still seem both rare and less populated than a hive

Hard to beat humanity without living as unwashed hordes or on a literal storage rack

# wintry cloud The thanatorg is a fine boy

that's the funny part, thanatorg is the issue because he steals the spotlight too much, he does not leave much room to to show the supposed main mini Abraxia

Tahlia Vedra and Gordrakk accomplish having an amazing mount while being the main spotlights of the miniatures

wintry cloud

But your critique remains

rocky gale
#

Yea the lizard is great, the problem is it's too great while Abraxia herself is just kinda there

queen laurel

Abraxia blends with her mount too much

I think most of StD has that small issue yeah

Common criticism of them

Although i think they’re nearly perfect, I can’t deny that i hear that critique alot. So i gotta accept it.

hell archaon is a proof that in of itself he has a very showy mount but his super bright equipment immediately draw you to his place
