#

That's why I like knights. Because there not facist they are oath bound instead. Monarchy over fascism

storm jungle
#

this message was brought to you by the royal family

#

(eat them)

celest cedar
#

I mean the Empire is a pretty elective monarchy

You in the wrong franchise homie

Also before i forget

#

What

valid needle
storm jungle
#

the chuds are just the vocal minority

#

the main fandom just plays the tabletop and doesnt care about anything

#

And I do mean anything

celest cedar
#

I know a guy who only paints minis and play tabletop yea

storm jungle
#

Yeah basically.

celest cedar
#

he shrugs at anything involving the lore.....or the chuds

storm jungle
#

People cry "woe is we" when GW does something they dont like and say the IP is dying when literally nobody gives a shit

near wasp
#

Maybe I should buy a knight for Christmas

#

Broooo can we get a mech fighting game with knights please

#

Gw I will sacrife my first born for it

i dont think most of this "fandom" is aware how much tabletop players go full Big Lebowski and not care about virtually anything but having fun painting minis KEKW_ogryn

Which not even the Emperor would've done if he could help it?

Honestly I like the imperium because how blatantly evil it is. I'm generally a nice guy irl so it's nice to play an irredeemable peice of shit in a game or book

What about Custodes and Grey Knight fans?

raven stone

I need to make a point that the only thing an in universe BT is good for is killing.

Otherwise it is relatively easy to trick them/drive them mad with logic bomb etc.

storm jungle
# jade holly What about Custodes and Grey Knight fans?

Grey Knight fans are just normal and a non-factor.

Custodian fans are cool but their lore side gets extremely annoying as their faction is very much overwanked and they cry THE MOMENT a single custodian is killed by anything and never let go of it for years.

Out of everyone, they’re winning

# jade holly Orkz fans are winning

The ONLY annoying shit about ork fans sometimes is when they do orkspeak which gets fucking obnoxious but thats literally it. They are very nice guys and just dont take anything seriously.

queen laurel

Custodes it depends I guess because theres like a schism of whether it’s alright for fem Custodes to exist

GK players dont give a damn they just wanna kill daemons and fanboy for Draigo KEKW_ogryn

# near wasp I don't understand why people are so against strong 9ft tall women

Well they argue that theres already strong women in the lore anyway

But tbh for me it wont matter but the lore change is definitely strange given theres never mention of their existence ever

The 10k having women shouldve been a new addition so that nobody wouldve whined

Just make some lore that Cawl found a way for Custodes to have women now KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

also the way GW did it makes more sense

queen laurel
#

Warhammer fans that tend to make their opinion known are running the racism sexism Nazism perks

storm jungle
#

Cawl is already a mary sue

#

him changing Custodians would be way more dumb

queen laurel
#

They tend to be the loudest part of the fandom unfortunately

#

most people just shut up and enjoy lore or table top

raven stone

#

its the problem with the satire aspect of 40K. The ones who are being made fun of are too stupid or didnt give a fuck to care 💀

storm jungle
#

Basically lol

#

Helldivers 2's fandom is braindead for that reason

jade holly

#

acting like they always existed works better

celest dome
#

Just having them be part of the normality was very much the only way to do it without long term repercussions

raven stone
#

Basically all satire run the risk of "brain deads take it straight" TBF.

Just that Helldiver and GW both have fandoms making a large enough dent in social consciousness.

this is not new

I'm not sure why this is surprising for fucking anyone

storm jungle

celest cedar
#

me when custodes

arctic talon
#

they literally added an entire faction in 9e and went "they were always there"

#

lol

raven stone
#

TBF that is more quality of GW writing which, yes, has always been bad

#

They literally write lore as an excuse for war

arctic talon
#

Female custodes is such a nothing change

#

that GW adding it is fine

#

they literally wanted to do it originally

also if we want to talk necrons

jade holly
arctic talon
#

lol

#

Necrons

#

yeah uhhh

near wasp
#

Oldcrons are boring

arctic talon
#

we gotta retcon 5 fucking factions James

#

"yeah just fucking do it ward who gives as shit"

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

cue the 5e newcrons

raven stone
#

Necrond Retcon was also poorly hidden in the Forgeworld books initially

arctic talon
#

which needed Eldar, Necrons, Orks, Humans and Chaos to all get a retcon

jade holly
#

Does Oldcrons just mean who they were before they became funny grumpy robots?

raven stone
#

When it hit the codices I genuinely thought writers jumped shark

arctic talon
#

5e was like

valid needle
arctic talon
#

holy shit

#

they just

#

did it

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

which was basically nothing

#

it never said "THEY HAVE to be men"

jade holly
#

What’s Oldcrons?

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

I'm not sure why people act like the custodes retcon is "big"

wintry cloud
#

Custodes conversation came back up today?

Praying for yall

Generic terminators

#

lol

#

thats what oldcron lore is

jade holly
#

Leagues of Votaan are just the DRG crossover smh

arctic talon
#

they were really boring

#

like their whole thing is

raven stone
#

Yea Necrons used to have 0 personality

arctic talon
#

KILL ALL LIFE

#

SERVE THE C'TAN

#

Congrats

#

you now understand Old necrons

#

oh also they made pariahs in old lore

#

as in the pariah gene

#

and were all mindless slaves

#

lol

valid needle
# storm jungle which was basically nothing

But to also be fair, the hate is overdone like they added her and she acted exactly like a custodian? Infact I’d say the most custodian custodian we’ve ever seen. (Sacrificing planets of humans to die and being general cunts like custodes are)

outer wave
#

Pariahs are still cool

arctic talon
#

Pariah's are cool

raven stone
storm jungle
# jade holly What’s Oldcrons?

Oldcrons were the Necrons we have now but they had zero personality and all were just slaves to the still living C'tan. Now at first this was cool to people right, but then they realised this is boring as fuck because none of the tombworlds got any personality, character, motivaitons etc aka literally the entire reason people buy plastic minis to make them their own yeah?

With the 5th edition update Matt Ward came in and changed all of that, keeping the necron armies the same but now giving the race actual individuality and assigning "royals" to the Dynasties who actually got functioning brains/personalities due to being bluebloods following the biotransference and all just ruling their sub-factions in ways they saw fit, and the C'tan were retconned to be shattered with everyone just having shards of them imprisoned in tessearch labtrinths which is a tabletop unit to be used as WMDs

dry bluff

storm jungle
#

again

#

It never said "female custodes cannot exist"

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

ala Space Marines

arctic talon
#

custodes aren't even 10 years old

#

in their current iteration

#

like

storm jungle
#

They were always gonna happen lol

arctic talon
#

^

#

it was just a question of when

storm jungle
#

Yeah exactly

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

And the answer is now because Custodes are getting a range refresh

storm jungle
#

Its really not lazy

storm jungle
#

your argument ironically is worse

#

"Cawl did it"

#

lol

arctic talon
#

was the lore shoved in roughly, yeah I guess? but like thats not anything unique

#

lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah now nobody really cares about it.

arctic talon
#

Its nothing different from GW pre 8e

#

to just go

dry bluff
#

They just existed is not lazy wow KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

I mean its not.

wintry cloud
storm jungle
#

there was a clear effort to introduce them into the setting

#

its very much not lazy

jade holly
#

What’s up my brothers of the Emperor Cawl back it again. I just perfectly reengineered Necron tech and now I can make female Marines can we get a w in chat for how good I am?

arctic talon
#

yeah uh these actually still exist

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

randomly

#

and ujust exist

raven stone
#

I mean, the quality and choice of retcon as a method is bad, yes, but that does not prevent Female Custodes from being added per se.

wintry cloud
arctic talon
dry bluff
arctic talon
#

which is a rough way of doing it

#

but GW always fucking does this

#

so like

#

I'm not sure what you would have them rather done

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

They're not going to explain something that they want to fit in seamlessly

jade holly
#

Damn nothing for my Cawl bit smh

dry bluff
jade holly
storm jungle
#

it makes more sense that the Emperor just made anyone custodes

daring creek
arctic talon
#

and you'd get people bitching about it

dry bluff
storm jungle
#

people would still whine

arctic talon
#

the custodes process never explictly didn't work on women

#

and Abnett/The oldheads at black library wanted female custodes from the start

#

ergo

#

female custodes were only limited by model range

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Literally every custodes player I know irl likes the change

#

lol

#

and thinks it should have been in from the start

raven stone
celest dome
arctic talon
#

so that literally doesn't work

jade holly
#

Can’t wait for Cawl to be able to perfectly build forge worlds staregryn

arctic talon
#

custodes are some shit the emperor cooked up in his meth lab with his scientists

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

a bit lame sure but

very safe?

most definitely

raven stone
#

Eh fair, just spitballin

arctic talon
#

if they wanted to add them as a "new" thing just say they found the Emperors old ass notes

#

in the genelabs on terra

#

but the custodes process didn't not work on women

#

so no point in this

dry bluff
arctic talon
#

better to just add it and pretend its always been that way

arctic talon
#

I'm not sure why people are surprised when they do it

raven stone
#

GW is a bit weird with their own fictional internal history, pretty much.

arctic talon
#

Before someone brings up Centurions and other things STC discoveries

queen laurel
#

yeah like this is their go to method, it's not like they still can't make creative explanations and lore

arctic talon
#

they existed pre M41.9999

#

so they don't count

#

like

#

they almost always have existed pre M41.9999

#

so GW does just go "they always existed" lol

arctic talon
#

I HAVE HEARD ALL THESE ARUGMENTS BEFORE

#

I CANNOT BE FREE OF THEM

#

except its just people shooting the shit

#

irl

storm jungle
#

"erm i just dont like it"

arctic talon

not femstodes

Too late.

this is just the same arguments

as any new thing

lol

celest dome

also GSC didn't exist in their modern from until 7e

dry bluff

#

and then GW just went "yeah they've always looked like this"

rocky gale
#

It's all lazy

arctic talon
#

"and all these vehicles have existed forever"

#

lol

dry bluff
#

Shouldve better lore is the point

celest cedar
#

what if we remove the men from the custodes HUH

#

!!!

raven stone
#

Eh, TLDR Retcons are a bad writing device, but GW does it for all things always because Fuck You, but a bad writing device should not prevent addition of new things I.e. Female Custodes.

I forgot this audience

arctic talon
#

the truth is the vast majority of GW's audiance doesn't even care about lore

The thing which makes me think Cavil is maybe just a normal nerdy guy is that after becoming a Celeb he dated an 18 year old (Like all male celebs do) and then after like two weeks broke up and said "Holy shit that was fucking awful, why do celebs date girls so much younger than them that was awful, I'm never doing that again"

the mechanicus loves slavery

winter pine
jade holly
#

Doesn’t literally every faction in 40k do that.

winter pine
#

SCREAM IF YOU LOVE SLAVERY

arctic talon
jade holly
arctic talon
#

Tau have prison slavery

#

if you count that

#

but not chatel style slavery

jade holly
arctic talon
#

Leagues of Votaan also don't have slavery

arctic talon
#

so sorta

jade holly
#

Is it Tau or T’au?

arctic talon
#

either or

#

T'au is more formal

#

Tau is more casual

jade holly
#

The only Tau I know of is Farsight

winter pine
#

I'm learning about that set of twins because GW can't help dropping Alpha Legion hints about them

arctic talon
#

anyways everyone has slavery aside from the leagus of votaan and craftworld eldar

arctic talon
jade holly
#

Alpha Legion is more correctly labeled “Renegade” chapter than loyalist or chaos right?

arctic talon
#

nah

#

they're mostly chaosy

#

there's a few that aren't

#

but a large majority of them are chaosy

#

The Tau Twins were bodyguards for a tau commander

#

who died to a genestealer

#

patriarch

jade holly
#

I like the idea that they are the most secretive group, you know they exist but you can’t properly tell if they’re for or against the Imperium

#

But yeah they’re mostly just chaos sneaky bois

#

I wanna see them partake in more espionage, sabotage, mind games and whatnot

rocky gale
#

They're married

arctic talon
#

tau polyamory.exe

arctic talon

#

He was a Water caste, she was a Fire caste ahh story

rocky gale
#

Welcome to McMaddies

arctic talon
#

smh

jade holly
#

Give me a faction of Space Marines that are just this. No head, crave only battle

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

for their Shuriman District™

opaque coyote
#

Like unironically

arctic talon
#

for the Tau so yes

#

no reproduction though

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

you need to go to the ethereals for that

#

lol

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

also there's some weird blood ritual shit so YMMV

#

its only a thing for the fire and air caste

#

its a military thing

rocky gale
#

Yea the story behind those two is they were in a triple bond and their third got killed, so the two of them went sicko mode

arctic talon
#

It used to be an upgrade back in 3e

#

you could purchase for a squad lol

jade holly
#

Tau soldiers when I tell the funny green fungus that they enjoy a good waagh

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

(at least their weapons make good dakka)

jade holly
#

What faction is the most “dive” heavy

opaque coyote
#

I mean

#

The Sms

#

alone

jade holly
#

As in they just fucking floor it into the enemy’s backline

#

White Scars?

opaque coyote
#

Deldar also count if that's the critera

jade holly
#

Tau vs DG would be like watching Zoners fight grapplers in a fighting game

#

When the DG get close, that’s it

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

And so it goes

opaque coyote
#

So it's a 50/50

arctic talon
jade holly
#

A tale as old as time

arctic talon
#

Like go in hard?

jade holly
arctic talon
#

Drukhari

#

Lmao

jade holly
#

No brakes, only gas

opaque coyote
#

Like

arctic talon
#

Deldar

opaque coyote
#

Actually just Deldar

arctic talon
#

real space raids are a vacation

#

Not a battle

#

Well they’re a battle

#

But who gives a shit

opaque coyote
#

Unless if they're like

#

succubi

#

then they just want to kill

jade holly
#

Do DG have the slowest movement of any group on the tabletop?

arctic talon
#

No

#

Nurgle daemons slower

opaque coyote
#

unsure on the actual table top

arctic talon
#

DG are fast for how disgusting they are

jade holly
#

Just compared to other Space marines they’re slow as Hell

opaque coyote
#

But DG still have their speed

arctic talon
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

whgich is

arctic talon
#

But yes they can sprint at you

#

Which is as horrifying as it sounds

opaque coyote
#

terrifying to imagine a DG fucking running after you like this

opaque coyote
#

POV You are fighting a Deathguard

arctic talon
#

They have a rule in the tabletop where they always have a minimum advance distance because

#

Slow and steady

#

Though in this case it would be

#

Surprisingly fast and steady

#

lol

jade holly
#

That gif was kinda worrying me the more I looked at it actually

#

I’m prob just paranoid but still

arctic talon
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

speedwalking

#

or just regular walking

arctic talon
#

They prefer going slower

opaque coyote
#

taking their time

jade holly
#

Approaches at a moderately intimidating pace

opaque coyote
#

enjoying the flowers (that are dying from their presence)

#

yk

jade holly
#

You’ll smell a DG before you see em

#

Honestly they’ll prob kill you way before they reach you

opaque coyote
#

nurgle moment

jade holly
#

Just because they’re a walking aura of like 100 Bubonic Plagues

#

And something Nurgle found between his toes

opaque coyote
#

when there's something dangerous

arctic talon
#

Anyways drukhari are the faction that love to blow past everything

#

They used to be the only faction who could use aircraft underground

#

lol

jade holly
#

So Drukhari vs Tau would be an always bet on Drukhari thing?

arctic talon
#

But we lost underground rules in 5e

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But most people don’t against the drukhari

#

lol

#

The drukhari love speed

#

They love drugs

jade holly
#

Tau: We have railguns and can snipe you from so far away you can’t hope to reach us in time.

Drukhari: Fuck it, we ball

arctic talon
#

And they love suffering

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Drukhari don’t use webway gates

#

They use portable little pads

#

That project a big ass horrifying void

opaque coyote
#

like it's basically just Mario Kart except deadlier

arctic talon
#

That lets them pour out of it

#

En mass

opaque coyote
#

...

#

40k kart would be fun

jade holly
#

Imperial Fists vs DG

opaque coyote
#

actually

jade holly
#

The ultimate slug paced match

arctic talon
#

Official art

jade holly
#

Now I see how White Scars vs DG is a rivalry

opaque coyote
jade holly
lament shoal
#

If there's any chapter the deldar have a rivalry with, its the salamanders

#

There's a long and bloody history between them

jade holly
#

Who’s the Salamanders CSM rival?

arctic talon
#

During the heresy? N/A

#

They got fucked

#

lol

#

They sat most of the war out

#

So I guess iron warriors

#

Since they crippled the sallies

lament shoal
jade holly
#

I know these:
BA vs WE
EC vs IG
IW vs IF
WS vs DG
UM vs WB(?)

#

Oh yeah and RG vs NL

arctic talon
#

NL and DA

#

Fought way more

jade holly
#

Really?

arctic talon
#

RG fought SoH a lot

#

Yes

#

NL and DA have 2 whole campaigns of murdering each other

jade holly
#

Is the Black Legion SoH or are they just the generic dump of guys?

arctic talon
#

Black Legion are the sons of horus

#

Sorta

#

Abbadon expanded

#

It’s not just Sons of horus now

#

It’s anyone who wants to fight the long war

lament shoal
#

They're treated as the chaos version of ultramarines in marketing tho lol

jade holly
#

If I had a nickel for everytime a guy named Abbadon went evil from being associated with holy stuff, I’d have two nickels

#

Or was Abbadon always chaos in 40k?

arctic talon
#

Nah

#

He was a loyalist

outer wave
#

Do you guys know if within hive cities, genetic enhancement is something kinda rampant amongst certain groups?

arctic talon
#

He fell into chaosy stuff late heresy

jade holly
#

So yeah the. I’d have two nickels

jade holly
#

The other one is in Darksiders

arctic talon
#

Nobles

jade holly
#

I cannot wait for Darksiders 4

jade holly

I’m so fucking excited

#

Escher juves getting to ignore morale due to them being drugged to the gills is hilarious

jade holly
#

I still really hope the official model for Daemon Perty is something like this

#

Whenever they give us an official model

arctic talon
#

Or horrifying

#

Pick one

#

Considering juves aren’t adults often

celest dome
#

Nah funny

opaque coyote
#

or were just

arctic talon
#

But yeah they don’t get the bonus to Cool

#

If one of your gangers is smoking

opaque coyote
#

beaten to death because everybody was angry that they lost

arctic talon
#

Bcs all the “little sisters” are spaced out of their mind

jade holly
#

Which CSM chapter would fuck you over the least if you joined them?

arctic talon
#

Red corsairs

jade holly
#

Nurgle and Slaanesh are immediate fuck nos for sure

arctic talon
#

For the major legions/warbands

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Red corsairs are

#

Super open

#

Hell you don’t even need to worship chaos to join

#

Just don’t start shit

jade holly
arctic talon
#

What you need to have is

#

Hate the imperium

#

Love Money

#

Love slaves

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

And love empire building

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Nurgle would fuck you up physically

arctic talon
#

No

opaque coyote
#

but hey you'd be semi-chill

arctic talon
#

I think they meant black legion lol

opaque coyote
#

fucking

arctic talon
#

Black legion are marine supremacists

opaque coyote
#

black x

arctic talon
#

Red corsairs aren’t

jade holly
#

Bah BT fans are basically chaos in disguise

arctic talon
#

Despite Huron being ZE MARINES ARE ZE SUPERIOR RACE

#

Originally

#

He changed

#

After getting half his body blown up

jade holly
#

I’d prob join Iron Warriors cause why not go all the way with machines ya know?

arctic talon
#

Huron is hilarious

jade holly
#

plus you get some cool funky weapons

arctic talon
#

Bro just loves money and power

#

Fuck the long war

opaque coyote
#

If you're baseline

#

uhhhhhhh

arctic talon
#

Fuck the imperium

#

Red corsairs

#

lol

#

You have actual upward mobility socially

#

Huron has mortals on his “war” councils

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

And by war council

#

I mean

#

“WHO ARE WE STEALING SHIT FROM TODAY”

winter pine
#

tbh if I had to be any race in 40k I'd be hoping and praying to be an Ork

arctic talon
#

Huron also doesn’t trust his CSM subordinates to run shit mostly

#

lol

misty vector
#

Sail the seven seas huron 🫡

jade holly
arctic talon
#

So he delegates to mortals

#

Often

#

This leads to mortals holding a lot of soft power

#

Even if they can’t punch someone’s head off

jade holly
#

Chaos undivided? Just cancer

jade holly
#

and I guess Necrons too when they all wake up

arctic talon
#

The red corsairs armory and main forge are run by the astral claws former master of the forge, 3 Tech priests who went traitor with Huron, and some random fucking person who was an overseer onboard a ship they stole

#

This isn’t a joke

#

Turns out she was really good at abusing slaves to work harder

#

Therefore Huron gave her a job

#

Which is to abuse slaves forever

jade holly
arctic talon
#

She just likes act like a middle manager

#

And also abuse middle managers

#

Anyways Huron’s little chaos empire has been spreading slowly

jade holly
#

Alpha Legion has one major requirement

#

Be bald

arctic talon
#

Not even lol

#

For csm

jade holly
#

What was that shitpost meme for Alpha legion tabletop again?

#

The Alpharius gambit?

#

No it was how field Alpharius

winter pine
#

I love the Alpha Legion being composed of guys who think they're the smartest motherfuckers to ever wear power armor with all these schemes

jade holly
#

Yeah that’s it lmao

arctic talon
#

If you do this you’re getting punched in the face/j

jade holly
arctic talon
#

lol

jade holly
# arctic talon

So many layers of mindgame that you wind up mindgaming yourself and Alpharius was actually the unit you sent forward as a sacrifice ploy

#

And now as Alpharius dies, you declare that all your units are indeed Alpharius, and that there is no Alpharius
