The worst and best

At once

#

Either way, I think out of all of the examples, Pol Pot is basically the #1 reason why I believe Karma doesn't exist

#

He died.

Peacefully

#

In his sleep

#

At an old age

#

At least Stalin got a slow, painful death caused by his own paranoia

jade holly
#

oh you said him

opaque coyote
#

Yeah Pol Pot died surrounded by loyal ppl, at an old age, and said that he basically regretted absolutely nothing

#

Actual cartoon villain

Karma doesn't exist, which is why it is our duty to enforce it ourselves be_YAYYY

Justice is a construct that we must maintain

#

Became my all time favorite League champ

opaque coyote
#

The Genestealers are the same in that regard

#

A gigantic figure that dwarfs the small mass that is the planet/country manipulates and sponsors a group of revolutionaries so that they can use the country to their own ends

#

As the country ends up being consumed by said bigger mass after the revolution is done

#

Literally adding them to themselves and losing their identities as a result.

#

It isn't really a criticism of left wing specifically. Just a lot of revolutions

#

In fact, if you're like me and look into things too much. It's more so a criticism of imperialism

arctic talon
#

and not metal

opaque coyote
#

Not Colonialism considering well

#

The Tyranids literally eat them

arctic talon
#

and runic stone weapons are waaaaaaaaay more popular among mages

#

then non mages

#

because they can juice them up further then what was put into them from the start

runic weapons can be made out of metal as well but the good stuff is made from rocks

opaque coyote
#

But yeah Genestealers are basically the type of revolutions that are sponsored by gigantic countries

#

Tbf a lot of revolutions are

#

Both the ""good"" and ""bad"" ones

#

Notice the quotations as revolutions are often more complicated than that

#

And the results are never immediate

arctic talon
#

shove magic into a sword so it cuts better, truly a noxian technique

Gsc def make fun of red facism to an extent

#

But they never remain in control long lol because the star gods are hungry

Imperium fascist, aliens fascist, necrons fascist, robots fascist, cats fascist, babies fascist, dogs are chill tho

Are space marine fans just stupid

No

surreal nest
#

How do you figure

arctic talon
#

But a small portion of people play comp

valid needle
#

Most are legacy and don’t have rules for proper games

arctic talon

Also there’s proxying which is a thing

You can also use firstborn sternguard as the new ones

There isn’t such thing as a ā€œlegacyā€ mode

surreal nest

But I understand the annoyance in your space marine army being mismatched due to new better scaled primaris but that would have happened anyways

arctic talon
#

You just play normal ass 40k and you can bring legends stuff

#

If you’re in a tournament or doing competitive practice then no legends

#

My LGS has a fuck ton of comp players but people use legends stuff all the time in casual play

It’s inevitable

This be their third neo nazi subreddit

genuinely unbelievable

All the people saying legends makes shit unusable are literally shadow boxing from my personal experience

storm jungle
#

ironically those chuds on that subreddit say this exact same rhetoric

#

lmao

arctic talon
surreal nest
#

Solution - they should ban every single user subscribed to the latest neo nazi subreddit

storm jungle
#

the funniest part is like

arctic talon
#

What do you define as a proper game

#

A comp game? Because GW statistics show less then 1% of the people who play the physical tabletop game play in tournaments

In other news uh glory to Arasaka or something

Idk

storm jungle

we already had one Arasaka stooge this morning

I know its mean but please god let cyberpunk 2 be an echo of what happened

That would be so funny

Arasaka stooge? Should I be glad I missed it or something?

Also all the Chinese text in cyberpunk 2077 uses traditional not simplified

Fun fact

#

Also my players made a killdozer in cyberpunk red

šŸ’€

#

From a stolen armored ambulance

vagrant fox
opaque coyote
#

considering cyberpunk 2077, i would be surprised if there wasn't more killdozer type incidents

arctic talon
#

I mean it’s expensive as fuck

#

And also the police would notice

opaque coyote
#

i mean

#

cyberpsychos

arctic talon
#

Those aren’t killdozers

#

Those are just people suffering psychosis and cybernetics making it worse

#

Lll

young pecan
#

But what if you strapped a bunch of dangerous cyberpsychos to a bulldozer to turn it into a killdozer

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Honestly probably

opaque coyote

also wasn't there a cyberpsycho in a full makeshift borg suit

arctic talon

But only because it’s funny

arctic talon

Either military or for ā€œcivilianā€ use

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

The rig is called a militech centaur

#

It’s an exoskeleton

opaque coyote
#

or in this case uhhh

#

knock him out and drag him to regina

#

If there is one thing I unironically wish for

#

more non-lethal weapons

arctic talon
#

You can make any gun non lethal in 2077

#

If you have slots

opaque coyote
#

smart guns

#

I believe?

arctic talon
#

Don’t ask how this works lore eise

#

Nah works on anything

#

lol

#

PAX mod makes all stuff non lethal unless you double tap

#

Makes no sense lore wise

#

So I choose to believe it’s a gameplay mechanic

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Well smart guns don’t do that with pax equipped

#

But yes you can lock on to non lethal areas

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

ā€œSmart gunsā€- don’t kill a target

Make it make sense smh

opaque coyote
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Like Clippy

arctic talon
#

Ironically why some corps soldiers suck at aiming lol

#

Because they get equipped with smart guns only

opaque coyote
#

on things like

#

"will this fridge fit my car"

arctic talon
#

I do think it’s funny that kang tao doesn’t have any of their conventional guns in 2077

#

And it’s just all smart guns

there's a vid in my recommendations basically titled tww40k reveal next week

mmmh

hallow saddle
arctic talon
#

He just soys about marines, nids and orks

#

Aka his armies

#

lol

hallow saddle
#

he has at least one source in the warhammer studio

arctic talon
#

He’s a good guy

arctic talon
#

Yeah his proper leaks are accurate

#

For 40k the wargame yes

#

For anything else probably not

wet sandal
arctic talon
#

Truth nuke

#

Valrak pretty much only knows his armies well

#

lol

hallow saddle
#

the content of the rumours is good but dont put too much stock in the dates he gives

#

like total war 40k seems to 100% be coming but im not so sure about an announcement next week

#

might happen, would be poggers if it does

spring cairn
#

yeah ik it's coming

#

but idk about that next week claim

hallow saddle
#

ya idk

wet sandal
#

I must restock my supplies of hopium

It seems I'm running low

hallow saddle

skitarii tomorrow

languid meadow
#

considering the total war community has had it's own leaks about warhammer I don't think we'll get the 40k announcement until the supposed end times stuff

spring cairn
languid meadow

since the newest DLC is following those leaks very closely

skitarii tomorrow

arctic talon

#

i'm self-sufficient when it comes to hope atp

#

so tww40k next week for sure

dapper gyro

I have given up all hope.

spring cairn

yes, i tooked it all

You don't need hope, you just need to know that

nothing ever happens

#

How tough is it actually for normal soldiers to kill a CSM?

winter pine
#

Plasma or Melta? A chaos marine is probably dead within a few seconds afaik

jade holly
#

Let’s say normal lasguns, maybe a Plasma gun or two

winter pine
#

There's a quote of a chaos marine telling some other lost and damned astartes to not underestimate the lasgun so I think it wouldn't take that many regular humans

wet sandal
#

It's tough, but entirely dependant on circumstances. A single csm can mow through a trench of guardsmen (in one of the minka lesk books for example), or 10 guys can take out 6 csm (gaunt's ghosts)

jade holly
#

But CSM aren’t as invincible as one would think yeah?

winter pine
#

Like real life it's probably a matter of who gets the first shot on the other guy

jade holly
#

Including loyalist Space Marines?

#

The only CSM I see being a pain in the ass to really kill are Plague Marines

#

Cause, ya know, they cheat

winter pine
#

Vorx my beloved ā¤ļø

jade holly
#

What about the loyalist side? Which Chapter is the hardest to kill a single space marine of?

sacred ginkgo
jade holly
#

I’m thinking Salamander, IF, or IH

hallow saddle
#

iron hands cause theyre cyborgs

winter pine
#

I'd guess Iron Hands because they're Adam Smasher grade borgs

sacred ginkgo
#

Nah not even close

winter pine
#

Also have a doctrine of only fighting in a conflict they stastically will win easily

sacred ginkgo
#

Adam is a brain in a jar

hallow saddle
#

iron father kristos was basically adam smasher

#

absolute horrible psycho

wet sandal
#

This discussion is approaching powerscaling at a dangerous pace

#

I must withdraw

sacred ginkgo
#

Not really power scaling so much as style

jade holly
wet sandal
winter pine
#

Adam Smasher: METAL IS BETTER THAN MEAT!
Iron Father Kristos: See, mortals? This guy gets it!

jade holly
#

Time to inspire some heresy

#

The flesh is weak. Iron within, iron without

dapper gyro
#

Iron Fathers are more durable than most marines, but eating a few shots of plasma and they become dreadnaught candidates.

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

Ultimately plasma/melta is the great equalizer

dry bluff
#

When Meltagun in Darktide

dapper gyro
#

Unfortunately, there are so many occassions that normal people killed marines that stuff like the Youtube shorts "Astartes" is barely accurate.

arctic talon
#

Tbh they never go against anything that can kill them aside from the psykers

#

lol

dapper gyro
#

Despite fans trying very hard to say otherwise.

arctic talon
#

Actually

#

The auto cannon

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

Could have killed then

winter pine
arctic talon
#

The psykers/auto cannon/multi las were the only threats

#

Also the rocket that missed ig

winter pine
#

Military grade cyberware doesn't kill people, people kill people

dapper gyro
#

Autocanon, multi-las, krak?

hallow saddle
#

astartes is perfection

jade holly
#

You think Admech tried to reverse engineer Necrons before?

arctic talon
dry bluff
#

I mean realistically or lorewise the 4 rejects and the upcoming 2 classes we play as wont survive fighting daemons, daemonhosts, chaos spawns, traitor guard cultists etc at the same mission

arctic talon
#

Yeah but it’s fun

#

lol

#

Every 40k game player character is alternatively constructed

dapper gyro
#

Assassin and Death Watch use necron techs, so yes, Admech does reverse engineer stuff.

jade holly
#

I still just want a mission saying a random Plague Marine got badly injured and displaced via a warpstorm and we gotta kill it. Make it like a 16 man activity

sacred ginkgo
#

1 plague marine would just get mulched

arctic talon
#

Yeah we’ve got enough shit to kill them

#

Just keep on shooting them until they die

daring creek
#

If you have armor penetrating weaponry like. Plasma you can definitely off an astartes

winter pine
#

A plague marine showing up means thing get way more escalated

sacred ginkgo
#

Vet with plasma power sword and kraks
Zealot with thammer or relic and bolter
Psyker
Ogryn with pickaxe and heavy stubber

#

Dead

arctic talon
jade holly
sacred ginkgo
#

It would be so incomprehsibly dead

arctic talon

Ogryn melee yes

#

Plague marines are really fucking hardy

dapper gyro
arctic talon
#

In like almost every depiction

#

Aside from gaunts ghosts

#

lol

sacred ginkgo
jade holly
#

Not to mention just being near one is like experiencing every historical plague at the same time

dapper gyro
#

They would never send a valk in carrying only 4 people.

arctic talon
#

lol

sacred ginkgo
#

thats twink stubber

arctic talon
#

That one looks more like an auto cannon then stubber

daring creek
#

An ogyrn can take out a space marine hand to hand. Hugely differing in fighting skill though

dry bluff
sacred ginkgo
#

not heavy stubber

dapper gyro
#

Unless you got some serious package like an temple assassin.

sacred ginkgo
#

Game wouldn't play well with more

arctic talon
#

Twin linked stubbers are heavy stubbers

winter pine
#

I'm still convinced Grendyl is doing some Ravenor-tier shit to keep the strike teams of rejects safe

sacred ginkgo
#

They couldn't get a challenging amount of enemies for more than 4 players to run on a console

arctic talon
#

They’re literally two of the mini heavy stubbers glued together

#

Ultimately a plague marine would be a pain in the ass to fight

#

Just due to their ā€œauraā€

jade holly
jade holly

Twin link and the heavy stubber in game are the same thing, but for gameplay, they are different.

lmfao

#

Mfw my bolter rounds literally rust mid flight

#

This is bullshit

#

But being around a plague marine usually results in puking at best

#

lol

#

Your flesh will literally start melting off at worse

jade holly
#

Honestly Plague Marines are just high health, high armor, and then a massive fuck you aura of death

#

The aura is the hard part of fighting one

#

Make that a raid mechanic

dapper gyro
#

Plague marines have high regen.

jade holly
#

They do?

#

Well that’s just cheating

arctic talon
#

Yeah plague marines ā€œregrowā€

celest cedar
arctic talon
#

lol

celest cedar
#

easier to track 4 players than 5 (this is a lie)

dapper gyro
#

That's why they are hard to kill.

arctic talon
#

It’s funny that even in dark imperium which is imperium bolter porn book

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

They get mag dumped by a primaris marine

#

And don’t fucking die lol

jade holly
#

I still can’t get over that Dracula Flow video is saw in here yesterday for the World Eaters lmao

arctic talon
#

But yeah plague marines regenerate, don’t feel pain, are extreme durable and all their weapons will kill you after the fact often

#

Also their ā€œauraā€

jade holly
#

A walking miasma of decay and pestilence

dapper gyro
#

The armour is the same as any other marines, but more durable and regen.

dry bluff
#

Yeah we will die even if we wear some protection

arctic talon
#

Yeah plague marine armor isn’t armor anymore lol

dry bluff
#

It corrodes everything

arctic talon
#

Its part of them

jade holly
#

Plague Marines are basically health tanks

arctic talon
#

Tbf they can just hand wave the aura

dapper gyro
#

AP ammunition won't do shit, but flame will.

arctic talon
#

Like they do with the beast of Nurgle

#

lol

#

Tbf AP ammo will do shit

jade holly
#

Whereas Iron Warriors would be armor tanks

arctic talon
#

You just need to get lucky

#

lol

#

Or fire enough

dry bluff
#

Warpsmiths will just capture us and make new Daemonculabas the all gender edition

winter pine
#

yeah idk I'm doubting a regular Plague Marine would do more to the rejects than the usual bosses we're stomping through

queen laurel

hallow saddle
#

id think a plague marine would be pretty fuckin dangerous to us tho

#

Typhus is a contender for most malignant bastard in the whole setting with Erebus

jade holly
hallow saddle
#

like if his attacks hit theyre gonna do a ton of damage and or corruption and or slowdown effects or w/e

dapper gyro
#

Plasma burns!

jade holly
#

Doesn’t Nurgle like Typhus over Mortarion too?

dry bluff
#

Just give us meltaguns and we good

#

Until the mf revive from death because why not KEKW_ogryn

dapper gyro
#

Also, the damn psyker can just smite (lore smite) with warp fire the hell out of plaque marines.

hallow saddle
#

he'd have to have some kind of invuln phases or else we could just nuke him

#

4 vets chucking kraks

jade holly
winter pine
#

Typhus showing up would probably be a valid reason for Grendyl to just crack Atoma into a million pieces

jade holly
#

But otherwise it’s too impossible to aim or even stay alive to damage him

jade holly
dapper gyro
#

Say, the hp pool would be something like a plaque orgryn, but with carapace level armour.

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

It’ll work

#

Usually

jade holly
#

Plague Marines really do just be the zombie space marines huh?

arctic talon
#

Yeah

dry bluff
dapper gyro
#

Flame grenade from the zealot would also kill it.

jade holly
#

They should make a named Plague Marine and call him Kronenberg

dry bluff
#

They’d just mutate like some resident evil boss

winter pine
#

Might be more grim than just being mindless zombies

arctic talon
#

Our list of effective weapons against plague marines ingame

Ogryn raw strength
Psyker stuff(all inclusive)
Plasma, power weapons, thunder hammer, krak grenade, fire grenade, flamer

dry bluff
#

I think FS knows it’s just stupid to add Space marine enemies

jade holly
#

Wait are Plague marines and DG two different things or are they like a rectangle and square where is a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t a square

dry bluff
#

They need to be OP but also balanced so that GW won’t be on their butts

arctic talon
#

Not all plague marines are death guard

jade holly
#

A legit dedicated raid boss mission

winter pine
#

There can be totally different plague marine philosophies both within the DG and other plague marines

arctic talon
#

lol

hallow saddle

darktide needs a proper boss battle tbh

Which is horseshit but whatever

And also twins

oh yeah true

Balanced wise yup but tbh Titus is also OP anyway

Nah it's got to be Word Bearers for a textbook Ultramarine like Titus, would be a terrible finish for the trilogy if they're not the final enemy

or maggotkin sorry

It grows and adapts

But not all maggotkin have like living armor

#

Some just wear normal enchanted armor

also AoS pill

arctic talon

Plague marines in 40k are specifically like

surreal nest
#

does anybody know if slaves to darkness can use daemon models

Ngl the characteristic of that Thousand Sons sorcerer main villain and how he looks he kinda reminds me of a Emps Children than Magnus’ son

arctic talon

very nurgled up

And you get a weird fucked up roster

Not even the full thing

Do you play s2d or something

No

I play sylvaneth

But the army rule pledge to chaos

Dang you are just a well of knowledge

arctic talon

Let’s your units ā€œpledgeā€ to a specific chaos god

#

lol

#

And also the Varanguard only list

#

Has a bunch of other chaos rules

#

But you have to run a very limited list of stuff

#

Swords of chaos is only Varanguard

surreal nest

they have so many cool models idk why they decided their latest spearhead should be all marauders

Nah include the daemon prince

Y'know the worst part is the Samus, as far as we know, is the only daemon of the Dark King

#

and yet he looks kinda lame

surreal nest
#

I have always loved chaos warriors but i was unaware of their game they got awesome variety

arctic talon
#

Yeah slaves to darkness are awesome lol

opaque coyote
#

well lame for what is essentially is a Chaos God called a King

surreal nest
#

unfortunately i bought the skaventide box and already wanted to start a skaven army but im tempted to toss it

opaque coyote
#

I honestly imagined the Dark King having the color of tarnished gold

arctic talon
#

Idk I love slaves to darkness lol

#

Best chaos faction

Like this

i super agree they overtook skaven for me the other night when I saw the minotaurs

and the chosen

God they need a new generic chaos lord so badly man

Like this dude is fine

But god he’s still on a square lol

He's literally pouting

Cause if so, I like to imagine that he was offered Daemonhood

Refused because he likes beating his drum

He just still beats the drum

Also tbf you can still beat the drum as a daemon prince

#

lol

Uh yeah it does

#

Smh

#

Dedicate yourself to killing

opaque coyote
#

Genuine question though

I forgot whether worshipping Undivided makes it harder for you to become a Daemon prince.

Because the Gods hate polyamorous relationships

arctic talon
#

But you get way more shit lol

#

Anyways the eightpoints are lowkey kinda chill as long as you’re a worshipper of chaos, as long as you’re okay with a bit of good old fashioned violence

#

And not a skaven

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

No skaven

#

Archaeon has banned the skaven from the eightpoints

opaque coyote
# arctic talon No skaven

Don't the Chaos Gods all hate the Great Horned Rat?

Like I specifically remember they became absolutely annoyed when Archaon named him the 5th Chaos God

opaque coyote
#

Which btw is fucking hilarious to imagine

arctic talon
#

Archaon hates the chaos gods as well

#

As do a chunk of his followers

opaque coyote
#

"I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT GIGANTIC RAT."

#

Archaon laughing his ass off in the background

arctic talon
#

Anyways the Varanspire has a lot of eating and drinking going on in it

#

And violence

Archeon is 10 skaven in an armor set

They have a giant pit where they toss slaves/prisoners/people jump into to fight

#

lol

opaque coyote

Like I would definitely want to kill every type of God

#

If that happened

arctic talon
#

Daemon princes are banned from participating

#

As are greater daemons

#

lol

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Ironic that the fights in the funny pit aren’t always to the death

#

Unless it’s a prisoner or slave then it’s free game

opaque coyote
#

Fuck

#

Discord shit the bed

#

Again

#

I saw it be posted twice

#

Deleted one

arctic talon
#

Anyways the one time it isn’t just normal chaos civilization activity at the eightpoints

opaque coyote
#

And it deleted both

arctic talon
#

Is when Nagash’s armies decided to try and lay siege to it

#

They got pretty far and established a beach head

#

Before archaon came home, pissed off

young pecan
#

So did the chaos gods very begrudgingly allow Archaon to be the one who brought about the end times

#

Or did he only minorly piss them off while taking their gifts

opaque coyote
#

Unfortunately, that's exactly what Chaos wanted

#

A new playing field

young pecan
arctic talon
#

He’s trying to kill them now

#

Which they find entertaining

young pecan
#

Like, now as in AoS now?

arctic talon
#

Archaon thinks he can finally do it this time around

#

Yes

young pecan
#

Or trapped back in WHF

#

oo

arctic talon
#

In AoS

#

Archaon has killed God(s) now

#

So he’s confidant he could do it maybe

#

lol

#

Ignore the fact he’s still marked with the chaos gods blessings

young pecan
#

Why is this dickhead still in the setting and allowed to be literally anything but a dork loser

opaque coyote
young pecan
#

He already had his big moment crashing WHF

arctic talon
#

Because he’s the chaos gods favorite toy

#

He’s their champion

#

And they love watching him fight lol

#

Until he’s deposed by one of his varanguard or a daemon prince

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

It’s unlikely for the chaos gods to stop adoring him

young pecan
#

Oh ofc he'd still be strong but I would hope that everything keeps blowing up in his face

arctic talon
#

Well yeah

#

He had a temper tantrum that caused a bunch of his forces to fuck off and leave

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Where he screamed about how he’d kill the Gods

#

In a fit of rage

#

And bashed in a daemon princes skull because she dared to offend him

#

Reasonable crash out/j

young pecan
#

Using a small fraction of each gods' powers to kill all gods

#

That's a really good plan, actually

arctic talon
#

But yeah that caused a wave of the slaves to darkness break off

#

lol

#

Some still are following him even if they think he’s stupid

#

For trying to kill the gods

#

Others think he was just cursing the chaos gods

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

And doesn’t actually want to kill them

#

lol

#

And others are like

#

ā€œKill the chaos gods? HELL YEAHā€

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Yes

#

lol

young pecan
#

If his goal was to make chaos go away, then you can only guess he's being genuine

arctic talon
#

His goal to all his not high ranking followers is to conquer the mortal realms and rule over them as the rightful ruler

opaque coyote
# arctic talon lol

"I WANT TO KILL THEM. I WANT TO KILL THEM ALL. I WANT TO FUCKING RIP TZEENTCH IN HALF, MAKE KHORNE TASTE MY BLADE AS I SHOVE IT UP HIS ASS, AND-"

"Man this guy is really angry. I'm sure he doesn't want to actually kill the Chaos Gods though."

arctic talon
#

His goal as known to his inner circle is ā€œIM GOING TO FUCKING KILL THE GODS AND THEN THE DARK GODSā€

Archaon responded by spitting at sigmar and trying to kill him with his spear

give Ogryn the big Stub Revolver then

As you can tell Archaon is very rational and sane

And totally Not angry

Or spiteful or bitter

lol

#

He never had his prayers answered in the past

young pecan

I thought when you said that, that Sigmar was apologizing for the fact that he could not EVER save him, past or present

arctic talon

And now after an eternity of being the chaos gods slaves

#

This guy is NOT sentient chat

He gets offered a chance

arctic talon

They’re only locked to 30k for tabletop reasons

All the 30k stuff is in 40k aside from the castellax battle automata

huh thats kina stupiddd ddbdut yk

And battle automata are usually restricted to defensive warfare

arctic talon

It’s stupid

young pecan
#

Archaon reminds me of stupid 40k space marine bravado, except if it didn't go well every single time

arctic talon
#

It’s their sales department

#

Specifically lol

#

They want to keep 40k and 30k nearly completely separate for sales tracking

#

Which is fucking stupid

opaque coyote
# arctic talon Sigmar literally offered to free his soul btw lol

To be honest, ignoring the overall high stakes, Archaon is a pretty interesting character to me. Tragedy is not an excuse for him, but his tragedy is an interesting explanation.

And also the dangers of spite and cost-sunk fallacy.

He could accept Sigmar's offer. But

He never saved him before. He never saved him when his village got attacked, or when he was prophesied to be the Champion of Chaos.
He didn't even know that Sigmar existed until Fantasy exploded.

Why would he accept it now?

It's already too late for him.

arctic talon
arctic talon

lol

He’s also terrified of being under anyone ever again

He wants to be free

You know the 40k units have the cybernerica datasmith

I get where he's coming from, I think it's funny to dunk on him though

A want to make sense of it all

arctic talon
#

He’s literally labeled as a daemon prince in the battle tome lol

opaque coyote
#

A want for freedom

arctic talon
#

He’s def no longer truly human

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Also it’s hilarious how he refuses to answer his followers about his origin

opaque coyote
#

Because some part of him definitely knows that he isn't human anymore

arctic talon
#

He just lets them speculate

#

Some people think he’s sigmars brother

#

Which in fact

#

Makes him extremely angry

opaque coyote
#

Step two

#

Run as fast as you can (you will not escape)

arctic talon
#

There’s one in universe theory that’s correct on his origin

#

Which is that he used to serve sigmar lol

young pecan
#

Or is it like a halfsies sorta thing

arctic talon
#

In 40k it’s, weird

arctic talon
#

If a person ascends to daemonhood they keep all their memories and personality

#

But their soul is no longer theirs in 40k

opaque coyote
#

You still have your mind and thoughts but you can no longer go against the Chaos God ideals.

arctic talon
#

It’s part of the greater whole of a chaos god now

arctic talon
#

In AoS/whfb daemon princes are simply mortals greatly empowered by the chaos gods

#

To the point where they’re no longer human in terms of how they interact with the world

young pecan

I think that all makes sense

young pecan

So in AoS they keep all of their mind, but they have puppet strings on their bodies?

Or even as a Daemon prince you can go against them

dont backpedal now

you got the whole class listening

But iirc the daemon that's been actively following him is a weirdly seductive more fem leaning khorne daemon, and when he ascends she kinda pushes his soul out

Or something idr

Weirdly seductive more fem leaning khorne daemon may be a unique sentence

Morning, foul mood, dumbass question

#

How do single women not suffer from the existential dread of dying alone and forgotten!?

#

It boggles my mind, genuinely

#

Because I sincerely get that sort of existential dread

raven stone
#

And I have 0 idea how by Terra women can so easily overlook/cope/ignore that

humble shoal
#

We all fear true death, when nothing is left of ones existence

raven stone
#

Like OK ignore dating apps for now

celest cedar
#

you just need to talk with them xd
and preferably outside dating apps

raven stone
#

My FB feeds shows some women just keep hammering on about how women don't need men

surreal nest
celest cedar
#

I generally avoid those content because its mostly gender bashing

raven stone
#

Like, not even what society thinks

#

But the concept that your only worth is to be a working cog

#

With no special meaning to anyone else outside of work

#

With no one to appreciate you on a personal level

#

Somehow women enjoy their modern freedoms so much they apparently don't even feel the above!?

surreal nest
#

to well adjusted people being single isn't a big deal idk what you're saying

"big deal" is too broad a term
