Good for him
So does exterminatus just not work then?
very old virus bomb
Fair
the better question is why was it intact after being bombarded by orbit
better not question it
Fulgrim + Magnus are both pretty competent as daemon primarchs
Magnus's only modern banishment was via deus ex machina from fucking Khorne
so that hardly counts lol
I think Savant psyker is an interesting character because they don't seem to understand what setting theyre in. Theyre genuinely hopeful and optimistic but not as naive as they seem. I think they had a line with the loner psyker that was something like "Why do you proscribe so much value to the lex when it is used to oppress our kind?" and then savant was like "I use the lex as a tool to help others." and loner was like "i never thought of it that way :0"
theyre probably the only fully "good" non-ogryn reject. Most everyone else has glaring massive unforgivable flaws (which is part of why I love them so much) but Savant is unique in that they are a decent person and try to be better.
have they ever fought grey knights
i feel like the only factions that could banish fulgrim or magnus would be
- grey knights
- custodes
- space marines with a primarch
It could be anyone with the numbers
Fulgrim has fought all 3 of those
but he knows when to fold his cards
since his goal is to "have fun" primarily
Btw is his self titled book good?
the 40k one is a good Emperors Children book
Lessgo
Ah, oh well
I still wanna see some EC
must be easy when they can just prepare as much as they want in the warp then attack out of nowhere with fully expendable forces
underrated game
still so few people playing it
the last episode is essentially just an Invincible episode, mostly cutscenes with tons of interactive combat beats
but like, it was so fucking Cinema™ that i dont really give a shit
it was amazing
SHUT UP
True....
Also yeah uh
Nope
if you got the game play it the moment you get home, it has a lot
Shut the fuck up

but yeah its gonna get spoiled FAST
so otherwise you are doomed
too busy looking at your deldar's ass
I deleted Instagram and YouTube
I gotta delete discord too in case somebody tries to be funny
Goodbye cruel world for 6 hours
😭
thats Invincible..........
I lost my house in 2008 and one of the mfs responsible for it is still successful 💀
Fml
how are you not radicalized?!!?!
My friend has been begging me to play deltarune
How long?
You very much can finish it in a week/few days
Bet
Deltarune in comparison is like weeks lmao
its very much like an interactive superhero movie minus the dispatching bits, its very fun
No I absolutely hate corrupt people in any institution
it's the institution itself that's corrupt 😤
so uh, I'm new here and trying to get some aspects of the game's weapons down for later study. Why TF is the vigilant, braced, and infantry autoguns the way they are? Just gameplay or are they supposed to be different patterns or somethin. Trying to find em on a database is a pain as its mostly just labeled autogun on its own
Dilara, I'm currently having a WoD evening, running some Hunter for some friends, one of them is suggesting we do a Mage tryout next month 😨 I don't think they are thinking of running it
Then be honest and tell them what you think 
Different patterns
^
so what's the actual patterns for braced, vigilant, and infantry supposed to be then? cuz the game makes them out to be patterns based on planets and marks, but some share planets.
(also, learning GW screwed attachments as a concept pisses me off. I want the damn fake holos we got on the lasguns on an autogun)
The GW fuckup hole goes deep believe me 💀
I have never ran it though, can't really say it is bad
Its based on planets entirely yeah
all the names on them are some canon locations and others are madeup for the game
for example Agripinaa is an actualy forgeworld in the lore
Infantry autogun my beloved. I love turning an entire poxwalker horde into red mist in a single volley
so an Agripinaa MK1 autogun is the type we'd expect as a full auto infantry gun, but its an Agripinaa Mk IX thats a semi auto style rifle..
but they're both autoguns at the end of the day...
I can only assume gameplay stylings is the only reason they're grouped the way they are... except the models share so much that it feels like a subset of patterns itself...
Vraks is a forge world now

and the one Autogun I trust the most. Love me volume of fire
(funny that it says Columnus instead of Vraks on the autogun's description. I assume a name change somewhere?)
Is this a world of darkness meme lol
Yes
Certainly looks like it lol.
feels like it can apply ot quite a few other series tbqh
Yeah it was originally the columnus
oh wow, now I understand. looking through old posts and seeing so many name changes... GW just hate the names or something?
which ones are made up
Im kinda busy rn so ill look later lmao
Branx I imagine
They decided to randomly change the names of half/three quarters of the weapons on a whim one day
Some of them were so small as changing mk2 to mk3
Don't even ask why
Branx Magna is inside the moebian domain
These mother fuckers will do anything but make halflife 3 ffs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhTvaRogQp8
Take a look at the new Hardware Announcement Trailer for Steam's latest hardware with the Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and the Steam Frame. All three devices are specifically optimized for Steam and will have access to a user’s wider Steam Library. Starting with the redesigned Steam Controller with a suite of modern features, 35 hours of p...
We’re thunder warriors 1 for 1 better fighters then space marines?
yes firstborn, primaris no one knows
on a 1v1 they were normally more imposing and stronger maybe about on equal terms w primaris but not nearly as strategic
You don’t need strategy when you are fighting mad max villains on Terra
also the fact that sometimes theyd just kind of randomly die and or explode for 'reasons'
this is a clip from our latest battle report, check it out here! - https://youtu.be/uzXrvYB39pg
They would be stronger than primaris. Their armour is half powered and they still fought 3 to 1 vs fully powered Marines.
how ti felt to learn 40k
GW should kill the wheel cult in AoS
their still is like a dozen to half dozen thunder warriors that are still alive technically on terra if i remember correctly they took gene seed and just turned themselves into basically astartes
oh?
I just hate the wheel cult
There were during the heresy, but GW just forgot about them
lol
They probably died during the siege
probably tho thats why i said technically as theyve not be stated to have died
i despise thudner warriors
they are hte most redditor tier lore ever next to half eldar and chaos tyranids
thunder warriors are based in comparison to normal astartes behavior brother this brother that when thunder warriors are just im going to beat you to death with your own arms and have a laugh about it
people pog out every time thunder adn warrior are mentioned, depsite them doing nothing in lore
and poeple re like
"they are so much stronger adn better than even custodies adn iw ant them to be thier own army
maybe im going insane
id rather not have them get minis but a book maybe even short stories all in
theres like, 2 chaos gscs
so im not sure if there is any chaos tainted nids
i want them to be confirmed extinct 100 times over, just ufcking lpay space marines no one needs another power armor faction

they haev too much fucking loer
for how meaningless their existance is
thats why the only actual chapters i like are nightlords (they have emotion to what they do and arent glued soley to chaos or chaos at all constant betrayal amongst themselves false justice guides and endless self fulfilling prophecies) and iron hands ( they dont get to have feeling anymore only chrome)
they barely serve world building in a short story that might not even be canon
thunder warriors still get the raw bullshit of astartes but get to experience through the emotional lense of still being people not totally psycho indoctrinated child soldiers
thunder warriors, should have 2 paragraphs of lore
remember wen they did a made to order mk 1 power armr
and everyone flipped their utter shit
everyone on reddit who dont own models*
thinking it would be a thunder warrior army teaser or osme shit
It was a made to order of the armor of the ages marines 
i know and people cant read
"omg a thudner warrior omg guys''
look at me in the eyes and tell me thunder warriors have any reason to exist besides being space marines but not really
agreed
and agreed
They exist for world building
Their existence is fine
Imo
also like thunder warrios as their name sort of jives w iron hands name pre finding ferrus (storm walkers)
yeah but htey have too much lore, their lex page should not be longer than any fucking 40k faction. when you say thunder warrior people shoudl go "huh" and not "eyah i hope they become a new faction adn rejoin hte imperium"
okay just checked, thunder warrior lex has 1282 word not counting characters and shit
gsc has 400 words more
we are good
lol
crazy that teh votaan one has 3400 words
no we arent you cant even play thunder warriors lmfao
A faction getting drowned in a tidal wave of lore whenever gav writes a book for them
The only downside is you get a mid as fuck book
every time thunder and warrior are mentioned in teh same sentence reddit is like "HERE WE GOOOOO", every time a stormcast is revealed reddt is like "is this a thunder warrior???" or "oh hey a new mini to mkae into a thunder warrior, htanks gw for giving us sutff we dont want"
a small price to pay- unless you are eldar
fair
so i can see peoples minis
i ahd to disconnect from reddit mentally so i can stay sane
wait why havent i blcoked weshammer on youtube yet tats such a good idea
They hate the usage of wheels
And do other kind of heinous stuff like any religious cult
lol
and also if it helps Tahlia is pissed at Pontifex because embergard, the city Pontifex literally founded, was attacked (then destroyed) and she disappeared literally right before the attack lmao
how do they keep cheese
sorry zenestra*
Idk
adn zenestra is the name
isnt she a reincarnation of the other matriarchs of the great wheel?
send Tom at them
does aos have it's own wheel of fate
Maybe?
like in tes
i have no clue waht that means
LMAO
Fate isn’t pre ordained in any of the Warhammer settings
i mean, kidna, aos is wierd because fate exists but it is constantly beign tambered with
ie excelsis
their money is literally fortune telling and visions of the future
but the value is dependant ont eh accuracy and importants of hte vision
ik it isnt in 40k because i scaled both for an internet argument that lasted too long
and in chamon espeically fate is baiscally never fucking correct lmao
Fate can be fucked with and predicted but not pre ordained
It’s always malleable
some of tzeench' thralls have fate manipulating spells
chamon is the chosen realm that tzeentch is attacking
Turn them into gold smh
theres probably agood reaosn vindicarum is the most religious city and destains all witchcraft for a good reason besides literally being under the threat of mass extermnation by the stormcasts
Friendliest Stormhost
only the faithful ahh
in tes its a constant that shapes reality directly
Neat
whats tes?
The elder scrolls
its pre ordained but you can be strong enough to circumvent it
destruction's visions nad mystism is weirldy accurate but that could be because of drugs or just straight up lying (gitz)
its not something that you can see directly
the bad moon really likes pretending to be predictable lmao
i know, i just dont play much skyrim or other elder scroll games
oh yeah @arctic talon did you see tha hedonites won the world championship
Yeah
Is it not?
It’s not
The eldar literally steer fate in the direction they want
And keep it in that direction as much as they can
The future is something that can be predicted and modified
But it will never be 100%
I finished chapter 1 of boltgun super fun game
I still think the original doom games are better boomer shooters imo
classic wh powerscaling
Btw do you guys read fantasy books? If so do you have any recommendations
Gotrek and Felix is the go-to Eisenhorn-esque classic recommendation for most people
Not Warhammer
Lord of the rings/the hobbit 
brandon sanderson
Ive read almost all cosmere
Discworld?
acotar
I haven't read lord of the rings actually, which I should
Disc world is interesting but I dunno if I'll like it
Yeah I know
No way
it’s peak
How so ?
Sexually assaulted people and (maybe) the word that gets automodded people
What word is that ?
Isn't that sexual assault ?
word i’ll make sure to pirate if i ever want to read his books
Btw for a super grimdark world there's very little sexual assault in 40k
I guess you can make light of violence and dictatorship
It comes up in warhammer crime
And horror
And some other novels
But it’s usually like
Not what’s relevant in 40k stuff
"Basic" violence is easier for readers to digest than actually dark subjects
its why you'll never really see imperial guardsmen stick babies on bayonets
or other horrific shit armies do IRL
because people will just be offput and not really read more/get indoctrinated to buy miniatures etc
and the people who aren’t put off probably aren’t the people gw want as their fanbase
^
its ironically explored/mentioned more in Warhammer Fantasy back in the day lol
but yeah its largely just not-safe-for-work and UK book censorship laws etc, its the ultimate dilemma of "We can show a guy being melted to death but not tits" sorta thing
i’ve already seen that one diorama enough on twitter without gw indulging those people in the slightest
No nudity or cursing in our hypervioolent wargame
Usually for SA in warhammer like slaanesh they kinda do the
“And then they had their way with the enemies”
Leave it up to your imagination
i mean it gets the point across
you don't have to write a manuscript about every detail in something so vile
Yeah without getting into explicit detail
Cause the more you detail that stuff the less people wanna read it
people who want to get into that, go ahead. just make sure you tag it so I don't accidently walk into it on twitter/bsky
anyway, one of these days I need to get some 3D printers set up and make my own autogun props cuz honestly the more I play this game the more I want to fidget with half the guns in it
"twitter/bsky"? What 💀
what? I never closed my twitter, and I use bsky as well.

karkers...
@storm jungle what getting into hunter the parenting has felt like:
Its rare that i feel like a crack addict whenever a series like it comes out and I just cannot wait until its next episode.
Real
wagoogas like banana
its gonna kill me man 💀
We must stay strong
i got no idea what's goin on anymore, just watching it go past
some people just dont know
Beat the unity cup with scarlet last night, undefeated as a front runner 🗣️
violence, violence
WHERE ARE THE BURGERMEN
I love violence
Anyway weeb shit is posted so im leaving 
big d doesnt look like he's doing too hot
ok lurker
ran out of meth?
based tbqh, but I'm still waiting for Cafe and some others.anyway uh... this is the 40k lore chat?
We get off topic a lot in here lol dw bout it
you'd know you illiterate fuck 
Its not against the rules
Ah!... good
until dilARA SLAPS YOU
I just had a run that was going so well that my team was at S rank like five turns before the Unity Cup finale
Just for Fukukitaru to fail a 9% that gave 30 speed, a 14% that gave 50, and then a 5% that gave like 60
Then we also lost the Unity Cup finale, somehow, with all fucking double rings
So instead of getting an A rank she just fell over and died at 9500 rating
anyway, here's all my favorite... okay that's a new gif to add to the "hate with a passion"
anyway @storm jungle what is the best jokaero book?
Legit I quit multiple scarlet runs early before my final one because I REALLY wanted the triple crown lol
that looks more like a stryxis book
You'd have a stroke in zealot chat
Tbh triple crown isn't as big a deal in some careers compared to others but I get it
I just got out of a triple crown angst phase and now I just let it roll
Nah u aint going anywhere
ew weeb shit
I feel like that's the point, anyway I just eat crayons and play Vet cuz I got no idea how to do builds. Really only been playing for 2 weeks or so but making it up as I go... got no idea how to really "survive" as a vet unless I got Kark nades and the "get the hell off of me" shout
gotta learn the melee dance
though I find myself pushing way less than in vt2
kark nades sound sick
and dodging way more
I’m unironically excited for creation menu
I’m downloading fallout 4 now
To see how it goes
my big issue is what melee makes the most sense. I was sticking with the shovel for a long bit, then started using the Falchion cuz "DO THE META OR I'MMA KICK YA" from a few matches in a row, and then just took a knife cuz honestly stabby stabby is kinda fun.
woe will follow
I am of the firm belief that if warhammer was more mainstream, then the dropsite massacre would be more talked about than order 66
falchion is not meta
at all
lol
the mark 1 shovel is more meta
What's the dropsite massacre
I am literally one of the fallout 4 defenders of all time
I did enjoy it in the end tho, so its in the rotation. Just feels neat to power up and CLEAVE
Fallout 4 big doodoo
was where rylanor virus bombed fulgrim
fallout 3 the goat ill die on my hill
Fallout new Vegas smh
Agreed
Yes fallout nv is really good now play vanilla
i have and i will
During the horus heresy a bunch of loyalist legions were slaughtered to near extinction in a surprise surprise attack by the traitor legions on the planet of Istvaan 5
I see
anyway for meta discussions the veteran chat is probably a good spot
loyalists of traitor legions*
I think fallout new Vegas is where the writing peaked
IE loyalist World Eaters, Lunar Wolves, Emperors Children
anyway, the day a katana shows up in Warhammer the day I'd get happy real quick. IDK how to make that work lore wise but FFS we got the Dao Power Swords in real lore so there's gotta be some room for it
except for night lords
anybody who says otherwise is a contrarian or has bad taste
And fallout 4 is where the writing sucked the most
Lemme get an extra large, triple cheese calzone with a side of fuck you
fallout: BOS
bingus
I already really like the fallout 4 writing, it has alot of really good stuff if you look for it
What I dislike the most out of fallout 4 is how they force you to engage with the bullshit settlement system
I don't want to build settlements, I couldn't give a fuck
The iron hands, salamanders, and raven guard were there
I just want to explore and roleplay
we get it mag you're a baby who grew up with 4
I grew up with 3
alongside the remaining loyalists
The entire minutemen faction is there to shill the settlement system to you
Thete is only 1 quest that makes you use settlements
Them as a faction suck ass
And it’s the teleport one
oh I found a sentient xenos thats missing from the lexicanum mon keigh
And once you have those settlements you got Preston Garvey up your ass asking for help
settlements were such a waste of dev time lol
imagine if all that dev time went to actually important mechanics
like crafting
actually, bringing up the Dao... where is there no lance like weapons here in Darktide? You'd think a few spears would be useful
oh im sorry you need 400 more super glues
its a broadsword not a dao
Just the overall design of fallout 4 is super popcorny, it wastes your time so much
white tiger dao's exist so actual eastern designs still exist in the universe somewhere
rather something similar to this
just not in darktide
the heavy sword is a messer
Ooooo support mod authors ooooo
more unpowered trash weapons
but yeah there is a mongolian coded chapter
I'm just surprised a Katana like sword never manifested cuz I've tried looking and saw nothing
Minutemen are real patriots you commie
death cultists
have a katana
They are enclave if you don’t wanna support rich people and eugenics
the setting is european centric medieval
death cultists vary a lot
Huh. Good to know for design stuff later
Brotherhood standing on pretty much nothing except for racism
kibellah gifts you a "katana"
Institute standing on pretty much nothing but evil scientists aesthetic
there's a lot of death cults is what i mean
oh yeah
it's not even a faction
I wonder if I'll ever meet someone in real life who's a fan of Warhammer
Kinda wish death cult would ahve their own solo unit unlinked to any others
Do you have models?
No
advanced racism
Warhammer fans you meet outside usually play the tabletop game
If you wana meet fans I suggest getting into one of the model games
LMAO
Yeah but I'd have to go outside and meet them, it's a big no-no, people are outside, I don't want nothing to do with that
We talking about Fallout currently?
Raider and Mercenary 💯
Loot and pillage, repeat.

Ik death cults are always portrayed as using melee combat but are there any gun focused ones?
well i take this as a good sign since that means they'll make sure it works before release (?)
oh yeah, i totally get that but its one of the things I've noticed when getting into this is why a lot of this is gothic AF to start with there is actually a lot of variety in designs the further you go out. ITs honestly fascinating seeing the different guardsmen from world to world, the gear changing and shaped to their styles and designs. Honestly makes me think you could make any planet with its own regiment and inspiration and just go with it if you took enough time
Death Cults can be basically anything
Nuka World was my favorite, could actually be super evil like Caesars Legion.
they just gotta wear latex
yeah the sisters of battle
and worship death for Big E
varying levels of covering the body too
Vengeance against Preston and his settlements needing help meme. Was peak
COUGH COUGH DAN ABNET
My biggest dream is to meet a goth girl that plays Warhammer with the dark elf faction
BODYGLOVE
I'm choosing to interpret this as it being such an important representation that GW had to have a stick up their ass about it
bring out the gimp
So it must be good 🤑

had a friend start reading eisenhorn
Good luck lol
or GW yet again sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong... for people who don't actually do crap for the brand other than make overpriced plastic
Wait so games workshop have the final say in any product that gets made in the Warhammer universe ?
arbites 2 reveal
Pulling up to the death cult meeting in a full dominatrix getup
yes
GW has a hand in approving about everything that goes into warhammer products
except if it's dan abnet
Do you have to pay GW to create content about Warhammer if you are a big company?
and they're so utterly stick up ass about shit
then dan abnet has final say
that is how licenscing generally works
or they get a cut
since he does whatever tf he wants
^
i know who delayed the class it was @static wren !!!
Games workshop are vultures
remember the purpose of every warhammer game is to indoctrinate you to buy tabletop products, that is the pipeline endgoal
I'll never buy tabletop products, what am I a nerd ?
like I get trying to keep everything canon and making it make sense in your every growing franchise but eventually you gotta take the stick outta your butt and just let stuff roll once in a while. Guys don't even make anything worth a damn these days, just license it for others to make and expand on
you talk about the setting so you might get other people into it
its the freest gig I've ever seen
that's potential customers
to the GW rep in the chat, let it be known I ain't ever buying a piece of plastic from ya. I'll work in blender myself tyvm
this is another situation where we blame chapter house
anyway @storm jungle were mon-keigh not a sentient species?
for real
people treat them like martyrs when they were morons that ruined it for everyone
lmao
thought they were sentient, just assholes
Have you seen the meme video yet?
No
Thats the case yeah
@west pendant https://youtu.be/_zSxQnZ3TM8?si=2viE3KAKCZnbM6LX
EDIT
Let it be known throughout Flash-Gitz land that no company has ever delivered Flash-Gitz Animation a cease and desist, but then maybe the rocket just hasn't arrived yet.
We do not intend to imply otherwise, especially seeing as our latest animation was about no company in particular. Just clearing the air.
An inside look at an u...
how would that work though? it ended up fucking over GW
3rd party minatures
oh, and let me guess. GW hated that with a passion
well yeah
12 years and still relevant is crazy
Man I'll be real, if I really wanted to play Warhammer on tabletop, I'll draw on paper and make tokens before I ever buy the models
there's better methods tho
You can like totally just play Dawn of War and Total War..
If you want a large scale strategy Warhammer or Warhammer 40k game..
Literally
I mean my main thing I'm waiting for is Dark Hersey by Owlcat
That'll be a good story game
I trust those guys quite a bit after playing a bit of Pathfinder from em
Still waiting on Rogue Trader to wrap up it's final dlc so I can actually finally play the full experience.
I'm hyped for dark heresy
Same
Im waiting on rogue trader as well
I played it a bit but I want the full experience
i hope it's a let down because i like watching people be sad
Just like me fr
More excited for dark heresy than i was for RT
I have spread my seed and I have three friends playing rogue trader rn
I also feel dumb cuz I didn't actually realized until getting deeper into this that those games are based on older table tops
Don’t worry, warhammer is a rabbit hole
i have a rabbit hole too
Oh yeah?
Warhammer is cool but I need some elf rep in the games
I mean about 2 years or so I got into D&D from a new friend group, then tried Pathfinder, now playing BG3 and other Tabletops, and always looking to FA&FO with more
currently in a Star Wars Legends based Age of Rebellion campaign
I fell in love with RPGs playing knights of the old republic
It was my first star wars introduction
I wanna do AoS soulbound so bad
so yeah, always looking at more tabletop to mess with. Half tempted to do a VTM sooner or later, but that's another whole system to learn and I'm only just wrapping my head around the system used in Age of Rebellion...
weird ass dice
Chess >>>>>> Warhammer tabletop
VTM is pretty simple in terms of dice rolls at least, pretty easy to pick up
I remember making a joke of "we couldjust use this system to do a 4 person group Warhammer 40k thing as well" and was told there was arleady a tabletop using a very similar system... never got the name tho.
think AoR called em Narrative Dice? IDK
I need a friend group to play darkwater
I will go to a gw store to play it
Im desperate
Probably on release they would do a demo night
Someone at my lgs is buying 2 crusher stampedes lmao, after he already got leviathan
What list is he building 
apples and oranges
@lament shoal New best horsey
I opened fallout 4, if this is that mysterious soft lock that happens I’ll know I’m home
Oh nope
It loaded
Shockingly

What the fuck this is the smoothest fallout 4 had ever ran
Where am I
in the wrong discord channel
We don't do on topic around these parts, buster
Waiter drop another two to three people special interest infodumping in here
chess is shit, theyve not even come out with chess 2, its abandonware
total silence from the devs
still edition 1 chess
weve been waiting 1000 years for more pieces
no rule updates
its pathetic
Two-move win still hasn't been patched out SNOOZE
so easy even a clanker could do it
Where is my lore dump about the warlord lord era of China hmm?
Thank you auto correct
The warlord lording warlords
Ruined my joke
chess is a solved game, boring nonsense
No
Fr
No don't say that
There is no fog of war, randomly generated maps, map control
Science trees
That’s why I play tacticus
Maybe even a Space King, if you will...
shut up shut up shut up
Does it actually get fun after the first twenty minutes
Fair I’d rather play underworlds
I tried it and it looked to be fundamentally created to be number-crunching mobile game slop instead of strategy
Whassat
chess masters when they need to strategize for a battle that isn't pre planned with pre set moves:
chess is literally just memorization
Warhammer card/miniature game on a hex grid, unironically the best game made by gw
oh cool my femboy socks arrived
imagine getting mad at wood
Sure it's a solved game but you at least have to give Chess that it's got so so much to its existence as solved
i get mad at pixels on my screen
No normal person is memorizing Chess like they can memorize Mancala
Just enough to play the game
that's just what separates us from the pros
they genuinely can memorize that shit
it's a specific part of the brain
like how some people can learn languages super easy
we've had plenty of rule updates no lol?
does that make you a genius? fuck no
idk
I'd consider the new pieces/moves added overtime to be an "edition" so to speak lol
Chess boxing is the best side game of chess
Is it more fun to be a chess grand master or scrabble grand master is the thing
high level scrabble plays like chess almost lol
scrabble seems way more like raw memorization at the high levels
which I've had enough of
in my life
Grandmasters are made of both, I can only assume
there's a guy who won the french scrabble championship without knowing french
Memory and raw talent
It's this that gets into my head whenever I try chess, completely ridiculous game 100%
It’s weird bc there is a shocking amount of mind bullshit you can do, some strategies downed on making fake words
intelligence is a lot more complicated than it looks and i don't think being good at chess makes you a genius in all departments
especially with how bad these guys can be at social intelligence
burn
I wasn't saying being good at chess makes you a genius, I was saying you probably have to be a genius to be a grandmaster
Being a genius also doesn't mean you don't have flaws
I like the noises she makes, they're funny 
it's not flaws it's just how the brain works!!!
there is no single intelligence score for a brain made up of different parts!!!!!
i say as they drag me to the crazy room
Yeah IQ can be really reductive but it's still funny to colloquially call stupid people room temp
@young pecan also genuinely how tf do you get a stat to s rank
Uhhh for URA scenario I would say focus on building friendships to max over anything else, you should have at least 2-4 orange friendships before your second goal race hits
But for Unity, just prioritize the training that has the most Unity Trainings
Friendship training is still goated but I think it's reduced in that scenario
Gotcha, ty
Unity Cup still produces higher stat totals though afaIk
I'm assuming pal cards are a must have then?
Other than that, just high level support cards and proper setup
Yeah
For Unity Cup, borrow someone's Lvl50 Riko (the black suit girl), for URA just borrow a Kitasan Black xd
@lament shoal One important thing to note is that you can hang onto someone's spirit burst for when it's most convenient for you
So if someone's about to pop but they're by themself, just wait until they have more teammates with Unity Training active, whether they're at Burst or not
Gotcha, thank u
Make friends in URA
Unity cup is unity training + friendship, make sure director has green friendship level by fanfest.
Unity cup you give up races for higher stats
You don’t do a lot of extra races but you get a fuck ton of stats from unity training + spirit burst
That gold skill for Spirit that scales with team Speed seems fucking ridiculous btw
Base is 35% acceleration, goes higher based on teammate speed
A shame it costs 380
You’re already gona be running low on points in unity tbh
I was 2 points off from being able to get it on my last run
Since lack of races
Cards that give skill points are a blessing
Anyways I’m bored GW release the new 500 worlds stuff so I can read about the ultras getting their skulls caved in
Your funny
I mean I’m not
Gw isn't gonna let the blueberries lose
They’re statistically likely to lose
They have though
Shhhhh
I'm just meeting tbh
I wonder if the Imperium is supposed to even slightly be mirroring the original holy crusade
One big push
And then flop
and flop
Maybe lol
But the imperium has won(in the past) and outside of campaign books still
It’s just campaign and crusade books where they get totally fucking throttled lol
Of the original pariah nexus crusade fleet 60% of it died by the time the mechanicus one arrived and the mechanicus killed another 20% by not giving a shit and shooting everything

“Humanoid enough Archmagos, opening fire”

When did the Margrave Mangolin dialogue get added to the game 🤔 new lore
Sounds new
But yeah Guilliman sent the mechanicus to “relieve” the imperial forces and to reinforce them
The mechanicus took that as “free weapons testing targets”
Mechanicus takes another funniest faction trophy
There’s literally a comment by a skitarii marshal about how the guardsmen, marines and necrons stuck in a melee fight make it “ideal” for testing the results of shelling
Because they can test it on different sorts of targets with one shell 💀
It’s honestly atrocious lol
The guard begging the mechanicus to stop shelling them but the skitarii don’t care
This is why they're without a doubt my favorite facet of the Imperium
And pretend the pariah nexus is disrupting communications to them
Maybe the whole setting
The twice dead king books really showed how SCARY the imperium is when they are well supplied and supported
They also ignored requests for “updates” on rescuing forces
Because they usually had just killed them for research
True
That was a functional crusade
"Hold on a minute, THAT CHAOS MARINE HAS FAKE JAYS!"
The venerable brother dreadnought:
Ok that's stupid funny
Made me choke on my drink
There’s a biologis who wants more imperial casualties so she can study and see if the null field has effects on the human body lol

10/10
Sensible and researchpilled
Would let the mechanicus ruin everything again
Actually good question, horrible reason
Well she went out and made some more corpses
Rogue trader lore question
With a bio weapon
💀
You know really useful against those Necrons
With their uh
Lungs
I still don't get why the explorator fleet ||betrays the space wolves in Pasqal's armanat ending||
And these are the non chaos version of the mechanicus?
Yes
||the Wolves killed amarant||
||pasqual is petty||
Yea the admech are huge assholes
But that's literally Pasqal tho
He's still alive
Arguably the non chaos admech is worse than the chaos faction
Would it really be THAT god damn difficult to just take people who would be marked for servitorization to do that instead 
The only difference between the adeptus mechanicus and dark mechanicum is that one uses more slaves
And it’s the adeptus mechanicus
The dark mechanicum uses daemons sure
But in terms of pure cruelty the mechanicus wins
Yes because she wanted “healthy” bodies
As in loyal
And sound of mind
Her conclusion was the pariah nexus does nothing to the human body and directly effects the soul
lol
So were the mechanicus always this baby grinder crazy or were they more sensible during the great crusade when Big E was around
They believed in innovation when Big E was around
No they didn’t
Yuh huh
Some groups did
Some groups still do
But the religion as a whole does not support it without a lot of restrictions
Wasn't it much less criminalized back then?
Not really
It’s about as criminal as it is now
Just easier to hide
Servitors were still a thing in 30k right
yes
Yes
Gotcha ty
The mechanicus has always allowed for very limited innovation
which comes with a whole host of
arguments
religous debates
actual murder
ect.
Servitors have existed since the cybernetic revolt
For some new™ innovations a new type of paint was developed
Didn't the Emperor only allow Mechanicus' existence purely out of a disgusted necessity?
they were on his "genocide later" list
Yeah figured
Big E did not have the resources to fight them at that moment
The mess surrounding the men of iron right?
he was going to kill them all once the great crusade was finished
"need now, go bye bye later"
Yes
Thunder warrior experience
or done the great crusade without their help lol
which tbh... fair
He needed their manufacturing power
He seemed really kind to Cawl in Cawl's flashback at least
Yeah but he made it too obvious lol
to the point where the mechanicum knew
tthat they were "to be replaced"
and started making plans to fucking brick everything
Idk if I'd say he was kind to Cawl
Yea, Perturabo even gets pissed at a tech priest in one of the books and tells him this lol
He knew cawl was important at that stage
almost like he did it to an ally before
who had armed several warheads in the event of an invasion of Mars
so that they'd just glass the fucking place
as a final fuck you
He was more like "Listen champ, you're going to potentially kill me and commit heresy. And that's alright, because that will save me and bring me back"
we dont really know when they started being used afaik
They ended up glassing mars
We know they were around as long as the mechanicus was established
which would be sometime during the age of strife
if they weren't a DAOT thing
Was there ever official art depicting emps with a helmet or has he always been helmetless?
-perturabo
always helmetless
Big E needs not a helmet
It would be great for aura tho
i'm willing to bet some part of humanity used servitors out of xenophobia towards robots or smth
His face is better for aura
Maybe
since the tech for servitors was already there for mechanicus to use
But knowledge of them wasnt widespread
likely
Yeah but then all of his stupid little grandchildren are now encouraged to go helmetless
In the DOAT humans probably did NOT use servitors
Since they had men of iron
Which went very well
humanity wasn't a monolith
Space marines who care to be tactical and wear helmets die because they're not macho
it was very fractured in fact
how the fuck do i ask bethesda customer support a question
pipe bomb with a note attached
i just want to ask a question why are there 1000 fucking tabs
Everything has existed as a twisted experiment
punish them for making 1000 tabs and ask them at the same time
it works
i literally cant even find a fucking email
Skitarii for simplicity sake
scion equivelents
stronger than guardsmen
Depends on what they're fighting as well
not stronger than marines
Since their radiation weaponry annihilates humans/organic life
With augmentation but generally somewhat poorer training then the schola
but it evens out to about the same
lol
GW needs to just give 40k Mechanicum some of the 30k models/units.
I'd assume they're asking about the minis
Tech thralls and Myrmidons are mentioned all the time
in 40k lol
its so funny how they don't have datasheets
are robots a thing in 40k
Mechanicus is so shafted on tabletop
I really do hope we get a Mechanicus class in Darktide one day
yes
Stinky Votann

Battle automata for the mechanicus are a thing still
I love cyber tech based characters
just more limited
I mean are necrons not robots
And those battle automata
no i meant the admech robots
the ones in 30k
if they're in 40k too
yes
Yes, but they weren't sentient ofc
cool
except for the castellax
i like the plasma mortar dude
which is banned from deployment
outside of forgeworld defense
the other automata are restricted deployment
but still allowed offworld
Aren’t there some weird cowboy Admech out there?
OKAY IT FOUDN IT, ITS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING PAGE
that's tabletop admech yeah
steampunk
Serbrys
with western elements
Of all the people and places to be cowboy…
Which isn't just used by mars
lame aesthetic
They have an entire combat force of robots
i prefer 30k admech
its the same fucking army
no
they're both around alongside each other
one looks cooler
