[lament shoal]

Have there ever been tech priests who become members of hive gangs?

[arctic talon]

I can't wait for the later stuff from the Manga

because its good

[arctic talon]

Yes, usually hereteks

Who want to make a quick buck

or other tech priests who need cash/muscle

[daring creek]

??

Please fuck off.

[storm jungle]

they do cameos like this constantly

[lament shoal]

I've been thinking about watching Cinderella Gray, it looks good

[storm jungle]

theres one where you kill Connor McGregor

its peak

wife beating piece of shit lmao

[lament shoal]

The bruce lee one they did was cool

[arctic talon]

Cin Gray spoilers if you care but these 2 are prolly my favorite panels of Oguri Cap

[arctic talon]

Its really good

[storm jungle]

also no anime allowed in lorechat

[arctic talon]

too bad

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

[surreal nest]

I will personally allow anime posting in lore chat

[arctic talon]

has a decent body

There's also a non heretek tech priest

[storm jungle]

yeah thats me @ you

[arctic talon]

but they're way more expensive

in terms of credits

[lament shoal]

Nuh uh

He looks cool

[arctic talon]

Oguri "mental breakdown" Cap

[arctic talon]

he is

[arctic talon]

LOL

He's probably one of the best hanger ons for a gang

if you're not Escher or Van Saar

if you are then you probably don't need a nerd

since you've already got easy access to nerds

[crystal forum]

"i can fix her" type shit

[arctic talon]

nah

I just like the whole being crushed under expectations thing going on

very relatable

[wintry scarab]

Atonement?! Mother fucker, ive been atoning for the last 3 years!

[crystal forum]

oh im sure you like being crushed

[arctic talon]

Awful

bad

[crystal forum]

weirdo

[arctic talon]

[crystal forum]

[crystal forum]

we're basically being told that feeding people was the bad path

unsurprising outcome

[lament shoal]

I mean the rations were tained by nurgle farts so I mean

[arctic talon]

I mean no shit

they were TAINTED

[lament shoal]

Personally I'd rather starve

[crystal forum]

but honestly i would not be surprised if either ration event option would have lead to the same outcome lol

[arctic talon]

oh for sure

[vagrant fox]

kids do better academically if they're starving and scared, it's true

[arctic talon]

they'd have all starved to death

"now repent"

lol

[crystal forum]

i love 40k

[arctic talon]

you poisoned them all

"repent"

[crystal forum]

there is no good option

[arctic talon]

uniroincally

starvation was more merciful

their souls are FUCKED now

if its the walking pox

lol

[crystal forum]

as if pious souls get rewarded in the first place instead of immediately vored in warp

well we're not sure

[arctic talon]

Well they don't

[crystal forum]

but the odds arent good

[arctic talon]

better to melt

then to be damned

is my opinion

[wintry scarab]

I was a good boy and i destroyed the rations! 😭 Its you people... you did this to me... 🫵 😠

[lament shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/warning-gif-15403397949888856290

[crystal forum]

hey i wasnt even playing

too busy running the betting ring

remember guys it's not gambling, it's betting!

(this is a real argument used by mobile gambling games)

[arctic talon]

Valve

with their new funny case

[crystal forum]

i made a killing on a sudden chinese case buying spree the other day

[rustic patrol]

man, if the Gabecube costs like an actual gaming PC...

[lament shoal]

I hope it doesn't but even if it did I'd still buy it

[arctic talon]

Gabencube might lol

based on Volvos reactions

[wintry scarab]

Im glad that the gabecube caught on. I hope the gabetroller name sticks as well.

[arctic talon]

when people guessed the price

internally

Its gotta be cheaper

if valve wants it to compete

[crystal forum]

depends how much valve wants to push the cube for regular buyers

[rustic patrol]

$900 for less specs than a PS5 is not a selling point ngl

[arctic talon]

Its meant to be a console competitor

wait is it 900$

[crystal forum]

if they want to cut into the console market they will have to market with console price

[arctic talon]

💀

lol

[crystal forum]

how much does the switch 2 cost

[rustic patrol]

that's what internet people came up with when looking at the specs and estimating prices based on parts

might be a bit cheaper, but it's not looking good if they price it as a gaming PC

[opaque coyote]

Was it ever mentioned if the rations were like

Corpse starch

[wintry scarab]

Also, i was gonna ask. What are peoples reactions to the Dawn of war trailer that just came out? I feel like most of the marketing for dawn of war 4 is just kinda meh

[storm jungle]

Agreed tbh

[opaque coyote]

Or were they just various canned foodstuffs

[storm jungle]

but its whatever

as long as people buy the shit out of it i guess

im still not a fan of how cartoony/DOW3'y the game looks

[crystal forum]

companies buy parts for much cheaper than you do

[lament shoal]

I couldn't care less about that personally. I'm not a spec min-maxer. I just wanna be able to play pc games on a decent system at minimum. Also I don't have space for a normally sized pc, so the steam machine would be great for me since its compact

[crystal forum]

they have supply chain

[opaque coyote]

DoW3...

Yeah I can't wait for it

Clearly

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

...

Idk why they skipped 3

[drowsy cliff]

They eat various things... casual cannibalism feels like one of the most out of place things in Imperium though from my point of view

[opaque coyote]

Kinda weird to go from 2 and then 4

[arctic talon]

no, but its highly likely

[rustic patrol]

that's why I said it might be cheaper, but the fact they said they're gonna price it as a gaming PC means more expensive than a console on average by default

unless they spoke without thinking

[crystal forum]

not to mention valve might want to actually take a loss on the gabecube if it means getting more people to buy into it. in the end they still make more money from gabecube users buying games on their own steam store

[arctic talon]

cannibalism is illegal, corpse starch isn't illegal

[daring creek]

Casual cannibalism? Sign me up

[drowsy cliff]

Heresy this heresy that my brother in Emperor you ate the last regiment after they were wiped out wtf

[opaque coyote]

Yeah cause I always thought it was tainted due to the fact that they probably took cultist bodies and uh

Repurposed them

[arctic talon]

Corpse starch is heavily processed

to the point where it no longer resembles meat

[daring creek]

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

[arctic talon]

it is literally starchy

[drowsy cliff]

But it's people?

[arctic talon]

more about how symbolic it is

Cannibalism is illegal in most places

[opaque coyote]

I think they also add other stuff to it

[arctic talon]

but corpse starch is processed to the point where its no logner illegal

yeah there's other fillers

[opaque coyote]

Like not just the processing

[crystal forum]

i know some pretty cheap prebuilt gaming pc's. it's a very wide range of costs so we'll see

[opaque coyote]

They mix in other fillers with it in general

[arctic talon]

Corpse starch is def despiration food

in the Imperium though

[daring creek]

tbh theres a staunch difference between eating factory made cans of grinded up people and actively going out of your way to eat someone.

[arctic talon]

normally you get "slab" instead

lol

which is pretty gross

but its not made of humans

[storm jungle]

Out of place? You do realise the Imperium is literally a shithole right.

[opaque coyote]

Although tbf the latter is probably healthier

[arctic talon]

its made out of grox, starch paste and plants

lol

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

and that your opinions as a citizen dont matter?

[arctic talon]

Slab is pretty healthy

[crystal forum]

they might be new to the setting dilara

[arctic talon]

lol

overall

[opaque coyote]

Just don't eat the brain

[storm jungle]

[drowsy cliff]

I know just feels weird even for the Imperium

[storm jungle]

I mean how

its perfectly in character

[rustic patrol]

You're lucky if it's made of Grox and algae.

[arctic talon]

Slab is always grox product tbf

how much grox

well

lol

[drowsy cliff]

Idk how that doesn't fk up guardsman morale

[arctic talon]

They don't care

[storm jungle]

They dont care

[arctic talon]

if its between starving

and having a full stomach

they'll accept it

[near wasp]

It does but the laspistol restored it

[drowsy cliff]

Fair enough

[arctic talon]

Corpse starch is again desperation food

the Guard normally eats much better then that

[storm jungle]

You are applying logical views of a person from the 21st century to a nightmare humanity hellscape.

[arctic talon]

so if corpse starch is being broken out

then its uh

bad

even by guard standards

[storm jungle]

I mean

"better"

lol

[arctic talon]

Look

slab is better

it even comes with little flavor packets

[storm jungle]

they essentially eat slop

[arctic talon]

like uh

grox

more like C4

but yes

[drowsy cliff]

Also true... egh

[lament shoal]

It really isn't. The imperium values eternal service and atonement to a fault. Achieving that through becoming a military MRE is one of the least wild options in the setting

[arctic talon]

Slab is like explosive putty

lol

similar consistency rather

[crystal forum]

even the imperium has some standards sometimes tbh. not every world will immediately start eating corpses the moment they can, but there's also some weirdo cannibal cults that do it for fun

[arctic talon]

fuckin semtex

[rustic patrol]

Grox flavoured grox is definitely a marketing line I'd think I'd see in 40k

[opaque coyote]

Tbf that's probably equivalent to like

Steak flavoring since Grox are the stand in for cows

Or even just BBQ sauce or something idk

[storm jungle]

You say that like the non-starch stuff is any good. Its literally bio-gruel or some other form of tasteless gross slop food.

[arctic talon]

tbh slab is so processed it literally tastes like nothing

which is horrifying lol

[near wasp]

Also corpse starch is basically them using a byproduct to feed people

[arctic talon]

they literally need to add flavor back in

[opaque coyote]

Spam moment

[arctic talon]

Nah

spam tastes of salt

and vaguely pork

slab tastes of nothing

its like a gluey paste

[drowsy cliff]

It just feels like you're becoming some subhuman monster by going down to such low levels, which the Imperium wants to avoid because heresy

[crystal forum]

im talking about the whole eating human part of the equation which isn't just acceptable everywhere

[storm jungle]

Same thing.

[dapper gyro]

Funny thing, only the corps of the devoted are usable for food. The heretic corps might cause corruption to those who eat.

[storm jungle]

Thats kinda the point. The Imperium is self-defeating.

[drowsy cliff]

But what do I know my lore knowledge isn't great and there's so much to learn you'd be dead of old age

[near wasp]

It's only heresy if the human isn't processed.

[rustic patrol]

ngl, everyone in 40k is probably suffering from so much depression that they literally can't taste anything

[dapper gyro]

So yes, being food is an honour...

[lament shoal]

The anarchist hive scum personality implies that he eats people in one of his lines lmfao

[storm jungle]

LMFAO

[arctic talon]

goat

[crystal forum]

i love anarchist so much

[storm jungle]

Of course hes a fucking cannibal

[wintry scarab]

This but also for space marines. I dont like how human most space marines feel in most media. The whole point of them, imo at least, is that they are supposed to be very inhuman.

[arctic talon]

extra protien

lol

[storm jungle]

If they're inhuman kids dont like them

if kids dont like them?

NO MONEY

[crystal forum]

starts zonking out when activate desperado

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

look

all I'm saying is messinius

or whatever the fuck his name is

mass executing civllians for trying to practice democracy

was goated

and he should do it again

[drowsy cliff]

Unsurprising for the London class

[lament shoal]

"BITS AND PIECES EVERYWHERE!!! 👹"

[crystal forum]

anarchist is just unhinged 80's punk rock fan

[arctic talon]

I, Vitrian Messinius, Tenth Company captain, Adeptus Astartes Chapter the White Consuls of Sabatine, lord lieutenant of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Tertius, and acting commander of Battle Group Jovian, find you, Andraes Kinshell, guilty of rebellion against the Imperium of Man, of apostasy, and of false governance. Your experiment in this disgusting act of democracy is over.’

[crystal forum]

they match my freak

[arctic talon]

btw the world was fine lol

nothing was wrong

they literally paid the tithe

Unfortunately for them Messinius hates democracy

[rustic patrol]

Badab war was waged to stamp out progressivism and democracy iirc, so Democracy = Bad has always been a part of 40k

[arctic talon]

Nah

that wasn't badab

badab was because Huron wasnt paying his taxes

and was going
ZE SPACE MARINES ARE ZE UBERMENSCH

[drowsy cliff]

Besides corpse starch what else do guardsman eat? I know planets also make crops and farm animals for eating

[storm jungle]

Literally military slop

[crystal forum]

badab is when space marines do space marines and then space marines

[arctic talon]

Slab is a common ration food, some nicer rations as well

Like heavily processed meat and veggies

[storm jungle]

COULDNT BE HURON

[arctic talon]

but its like IRL MREs mostly

[storm jungle]

OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE HURON

[arctic talon]

Or worse

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/better-call-saul-chuck-mcgill-chicanery-breakdown-gif-25422432

[wintry scarab]

Yeah, i get that. I just really enjoyed the depiction of the nighlords in the nighlords books. I feel like it came the closest to what i have in my head when it comes to space marines. But then when you look at something like SM2 it just goes for the safest most boring way space marines can be depicted. Imo at least. (i really like the game, but its writing is some of the lamest shit ever)

[arctic talon]

but Huron was not practicing democracy

[near wasp]

Huron did nothing wrong

[arctic talon]

bro was doing good ol fashioned facism but with Marines in charge

[crystal forum]

im just happy that space marines died

[arctic talon]

and talking about how Marines are the superior species

lol

[drowsy cliff]

Slab, ain't that what one of the psykers calls the ogryn?

[arctic talon]

Yep

Its what the zealots

call the ogryn specifically

[storm jungle]

Unrelated

its more a slang on "wow you are blunt like a slab"

[drowsy cliff]

Ah fitting given my personality always goes on about food, guess that's why they got the nickname

[crystal forum]

master race that can't reproduce
literally doesn't quality as life to begin with

[drowsy cliff]

Also true

[rustic patrol]

oh right, I was thinking of the Fourth Quadrant rebellion mb

[drowsy cliff]

Zealot is very classy in their wording

So I guess most intelligent class?

[arctic talon]

Slab is pretty gruesome stuff. Pressure-treated down from any and all available nutritional sources by the Munitorum, it has no discernable flavour apart from a faint, mucusy aftertaste, and it looks like grey-white putty. Slab, as it's known to every common Guardsmen, it comes canned and it comes freeze-dried, it comes in packets and it comes in boxes, it comes in individual heated tins and it comes in catering blocks. Company cooks slice, dice and mince it, and use it as the bulk base of any meal when local provisions are unavailable. They flavour it with whatever they have on hand, usually foil sachets of powder with names like groxtail and vegetable or sausage.

[drowsy cliff]

Semi high gothic?

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

Not quite

[arctic talon]

fuck no lol

[storm jungle]

Zealots are literally nazi catholics

[drowsy cliff]

Well wrong choice of words they speak in old English

[arctic talon]

the only Zealot with passable high gothic is the Judge, because it was understandable enough for Melk to understand and shit talk

LOL

[daring creek]

Just catholics

[drowsy cliff]

Based

[arctic talon]

but Agitator is not educated well

and fanatic is definetly not educated

[drowsy cliff]

Well templars is probably most fitting

[arctic talon]

Judge is the only one with some level of formal schooling

[drowsy cliff]

They even call guardsman that

[arctic talon]

male judge specifically

[drowsy cliff]

Well veterans

[arctic talon]

but female judge has lines about melk saying their high gothic sounds bad

which leads to a few of the non zealot rejects saying their high gothic is fine

lol

Savant and Loner

and Professional

[crystal forum]

arbites arent particularly taught a lot of mental stuff in the schola i bet

[arctic talon]

well

[crystal forum]

compared to like commisars

[arctic talon]

they're taught a lot of laws and nerd shit

but its mostly numbers crunching

[crystal forum]

wait do inquisitors go through schola

i forgot

[arctic talon]

Some do

some don't

[crystal forum]

huh

[arctic talon]

but there's always going to the schola progenium as an adult

lol

which is an awful idea

but some do it

[drowsy cliff]

I mean they're basically Soviet KGB

Or stasi

[arctic talon]

nah the Arbites are the IRS

[crystal forum]

would fucking suck to be the guy in the schola class who ends up as tempestus scion while your friend gets to be a fucking inquisitor

[arctic talon]

but eviler

[rustic patrol]

did they have to do the entier curriculum the kids have to do, or was it shortened?

[drowsy cliff]

So British police

[arctic talon]

accelerated curriculum

but the instructors are extra abusive

LOL

[near wasp]

Your taught discipline and sorted into what type of asshole you'll be

[arctic talon]

drill abbots literally abuse adults in the schola more

because they can "handle" it

[rustic patrol]

lol, the abuse is condensed

[arctic talon]

tbf

[crystal forum]

40k school is just survival of the fittest

[arctic talon]

the dread trial of "the wall"

is mandatory for all schola progenium graduates

including scribes

which is fucking deranged

now granted they don't need to carry the backpack

but still

[rustic patrol]

probably for the fear factor

[rose thorn]

AHAHAHAHHA NO WAY, 2 LOYALIST SPACE MAIRNE FACTIONS IN Dow4 HAHAHAHA

[arctic talon]

they're the same faction

under DoW rules

[rose thorn]

Ah

[arctic talon]

okay you can beat me to death now

[storm jungle]

"probably"

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

💀

[rose thorn]

Still think it’s stupid

[arctic talon]

but climb a sheer wall while being shot at with live rounds, while wearing full armor and a backpack if you're a scion, SoB or Arbite

is fucking insane

[crystal forum]

what' the lowest ranking role that comes out of schola

[arctic talon]

Scribes

[crystal forum]

what even are those

[rustic patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sith-gif-7488176

[arctic talon]

now granted these scribes are like

ripped

by Scribe standards

[storm jungle]

Isnt that an absolute.

[crystal forum]

are they munitorum

[arctic talon]

you know the pencil pushing nerds in the adminstratum

and munitorum

yeah

[crystal forum]

damn they go to schola that's wild

[arctic talon]

well

not all of them

[rustic patrol]

idk, the jedi never made a lot of sense

[arctic talon]

but higher level ones are usually schola graduates

[rose thorn]

I wonder if DA with DoW4 will have the suicide melta bombs

[storm jungle]

gay

[crystal forum]

is it like one of those things where one scribe needs his degree and then he'll hire a bunch of goons to do all the actual hard labor

[arctic talon]

nah

[storm jungle]

that was just for Terra

[crystal forum]

or do all munitorum guys need to go to schola

[arctic talon]

Scribes do a lot of scribe work

[storm jungle]

because it was a mission

[rose thorn]

Damn

[storm jungle]

that was impossible

[arctic talon]

not all munitorum guys need to

nor all high level ones

[storm jungle]

a Mission Impossible if you will

[arctic talon]

Schola Progenium scribes are like

[storm jungle]

and uh

[arctic talon]

weirdos

[storm jungle]

basically all of them uh

[rustic patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/clap-slowclap-notimpressed-gif-8195521

[storm jungle]

kinda died

[arctic talon]

I made a low level boss in a Dark heresy campaign be a schola progenium scribe

lol

[crystal forum]

ye i was wondering how that would work considering how insanely huge the bureaucracy is

[storm jungle]

shut up with your 2012 gifs loser

[arctic talon]

because its fucking hilarious

to have this ripped fucking nerd

with an autogun

[rustic patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/my-bad-jokes-gif-26068823

[arctic talon]

screaming about how he could have become a tempestus scion

while shooting up the party

[crystal forum]

god i love learning about the admninistratum

[daring creek]

Ya so mean for no reason

[storm jungle]

same vibes

[crystal forum]

it's always a funny story about like a requisition slip for aid being lost for 5000 years

[arctic talon]

yeah basicially lol

[daring creek]

So rood

[arctic talon]

he was pissed the party kept on bothering him

pushing HIM AROUND

lol

anyways he got shot to death

[daring creek]

Anyone wanna watch a vdieo about water getting hot https://youtu.be/INZybkX8tLI

[arctic talon]

but it was really funny telling my party how this fucking nerd was wearing carapace under his robes and had an autogun

[crystal forum]

why would he want to be a scion? that's just meat grinder

[arctic talon]

lol

[arctic talon]

he was jealous

he wanted to be a hero

like his parents

[crystal forum]

tbf i'd love to have aquilon drip

[lament shoal]

Nerd rage perk from fallout

[arctic talon]

Scion/SoB are seen as the most aspirational things to become

[crystal forum]

do we know any more about aquilons since the killteam

[arctic talon]

as a Schola grad

[crystal forum]

are they more elite scions

[arctic talon]

only the existing scion lore unfortunately

nah

they're like

specialist scions

[crystal forum]

are those grav shutes or jump packs

[arctic talon]

they get a seperate training track

after grad

They're very fancy grav chutes

that can be used post drop

for better jumping and stuff

[rustic patrol]

grav shutes

[dapper gyro]

Airborne stormtrooper

[arctic talon]

you know a titanfall jump pack?

its like that

lol

[crystal forum]

so they're still just elite elyisians

[arctic talon]

normal scions only get normal grav chutes

[dapper gyro]

Basically homage to the SAS.

[arctic talon]

these nerds get the fancy ones

anyways this is the only art of a drill abbot

[crystal forum]

those magazine fed hot shots are awesome

[arctic talon]

looks just like my gym teacher

💀

[crystal forum]

i love how they can switch between backpack and magazine

it's so cool

[opaque coyote]

...why does he look like a gym teacher

[arctic talon]

thats the point

[opaque coyote]

BRO

[crystal forum]

he got the gym teacher physique

[arctic talon]

basicially being a SoB has the most stringent requirements lol

you need to be incredibly violent

[daring creek]

Are there any gym teachers who are actually fit

[arctic talon]

and incredibly faithful

lol

[crystal forum]

wouldn't it be inquisitors

[dapper gyro]

The USofA moment...

[arctic talon]

inqusitors kidnap people they want on selection day

[daring creek]

The only two non fat ones I've seen were two black dudes, one was literally a fucking athlete

[arctic talon]

so not really something you're groomed for

[crystal forum]

oh right lol

[arctic talon]

same as the assasinorum

they come in

grab the kids they want

and leave

[crystal forum]

still im sure it's like the top of the class

[arctic talon]

while everyone else gets sent off

but Scions start getting organized into squads in the schola

as do Arbites

SoB don't

[daring creek]

Offico Assassinum walks in

[opaque coyote]

"Today we're going to do an exercise. You have to climb this cliff while being fired upon. You need to be quick, athletic-"

"Why are you saying that? You're fatter than the Imperial palace."

abbot crushes the kid with his maul

"Any other questions?"

[daring creek]

abducts children

leaves

[arctic talon]

Scions and SoB have the most intensive physical stuff

Then the Comissarat

then Arbites

[crystal forum]

imagine training all your life to be a commissar and then you're kidnapped to become an eversor

[arctic talon]

Arbites are basicially the inbetween the jocks and nerds

in the schola progenium

lol

[rustic patrol]

smart enough to know if the tithe is lacking, strong enough to get that remaining tithe

[arctic talon]

for the SoB and Scion trainees intelligence is optional

[crystal forum]

yeah it's explained in some of the origin choices in darktide

i liked that

[arctic talon]

Comissars are required to be smart and charismatic

[opaque coyote]

Tbf so you need some form of psychopathy to become a Eversor so

[arctic talon]

the schola is designed to make psychopaths tbf

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

daily abuse

both phyiscal and mental

[crystal forum]

so do commissars

lol

[arctic talon]

absolutely horrific conditions

lol

well

training condidtions are horrific

[opaque coyote]

True, but Eversors are the type to already be psychopaths when they're just out of the womb

[arctic talon]

but the beds are comfortable

[crystal forum]

im sure everyone coming out of the schola is some level of psycho

[rustic patrol]

I thought they needed to be tough enough to take the berserker meds they'd be taking

[opaque coyote]

Better than College

Jk

[arctic talon]

Eversors are usually drafted from serial killer children

not even a joke

the Eversor temple likes to keep an eye out

for any killing sprees perpetrated by children

[crystal forum]

isn't that a lot of underhive juves

[opaque coyote]

Yeah again, psychopath from birth.

They don't have time to teach them to be cruel to the enemies. They already have to be

[daring creek]

Why is the term "Serial Killer Children" funny to read

[arctic talon]

serial killer, not normal murderer

[crystal forum]

ah yes

[arctic talon]

Gangers usually have some regrets/shock doing that stuff

[crystal forum]

the bad kind of murderer

[daring creek]

franco barby reference

[arctic talon]

even if they act tough

[dapper gyro]

No wonder... For the sob.

[arctic talon]

lemme grab the excerpt

[opaque coyote]

It's less "kill in self defense" and more "splay their guts out in a heart formation for fun"

[arctic talon]

of what the Eversors are looking for

[crystal forum]

again, im fairly sure a lot of underhivers learn this at age 6

[arctic talon]

I forgor

anyways there's this excerpt of an eversor recruit

being "highly promissing"

because he had killed his entire hab block

they were like 10

[crystal forum]

this reminds me, i love the new tertium gang lore we got

[opaque coyote]

Maybe but it's most likely just regular murder until they're older

[arctic talon]

the assasinorum swooped by and picked him up

[crystal forum]

those steel riders look awesome

[arctic talon]

the kid tried to kill the person nabbing him

[crystal forum]

a train gang

[arctic talon]

which was a "retired" eversor

so

yeah

still insane to me that eversors can retire

[rustic patrol]

how do you retire an eversor?

[arctic talon]

we don't know, but the Eversor temple is run by "retirees"

of the Temple

[crystal forum]

i find it funnier that they're looking for not just murderer children but a specific type of murderer children

[opaque coyote]

"Ah just like when I was your age.

Anyways-"

knocks out the kid

[arctic talon]

like all the other asssasin temples

tbh all the assasinorum assassins are freaks of nature

they're as strong as marines often

and more nimble

[crystal forum]

vindicare is like the most normal assassin genetic and augment wise

[arctic talon]

an eversor was going to tear gabriel seths head off

for fun

the only reason he didn't get to was because he was enjoying himself too much

[dapper gyro]

Vindicare can arm wrestling marines scout, lol.

[arctic talon]

and seth got bailed out

[crystal forum]

but then again half of the vindicare's power comes from their sniper

[arctic talon]

by the eversor easily overpowered Seth and was tearing his head off with no technique but

[opaque coyote]

I'm now imagining a retiree being "nostalgic" over their childhood to somebody.

And the person is just like "Are you being nostalgic or just trauma dumping".

The retired Eversor responds with "Yes!"

[arctic talon]

grab and yank

[crystal forum]

i like vindicare

[dapper gyro]

Some of them can fight hand to hand vs unarmoured marines.

[arctic talon]

Vindicare are gun nuts

[crystal forum]

they're just dudes with big guns

[arctic talon]

but they're still physically terrifying

[crystal forum]

oh yeah

[arctic talon]

if we go by any of the TTRPGs or tabletop stats

which are abstracted

but they give a good ballpark

[crystal forum]

im just going by kingmaker

[arctic talon]

All the assasins are S4 minimum lol

[rustic patrol]

Kingmaker's Assassins are pretty nerfed

[arctic talon]

which is equal to Ork/Marines/Aspect warriors/heavily augmented tech priests

[crystal forum]

and they still kick ass

[opaque coyote]

"We got three types of assassins.

Actual assassins.

Drugged up coke fiends.

And John Wick."

[arctic talon]

yeah kingmaker plays down the assasins raw strength for tension which is nice

[crystal forum]

but yeah they do weirdly struggle against normal dudes in the book

[arctic talon]

I like kingmakers depiction of them

tbh

Its good for what the book is going for

[dapper gyro]

Many of them are orphans of veteran guardsmen. The parents train them from birth.

[crystal forum]

it's a lot more grounded

and spy thriller like

[rustic patrol]

yeah, so the Imperium has/had much stronger ones

[crystal forum]

instead of superhuman warrior

[arctic talon]

Also all the assasins were initative 8 minimum

lol

I would like to mention

[rustic patrol]

Culexus forgotten

[dapper gyro]

If they don't get scooped by the assassin, then the Scholar might take them.

[arctic talon]

marines were initative 4

💀

[crystal forum]

wasn't the vindicare dude about to become a master

[arctic talon]

Callidus was 10

and Eversor was 10 when hopped up on stims

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I think SM level strength against some of the Imperium's enemies is like

Vital

[crystal forum]

also kingmaker has that coding assassin that isnt brought up often

they have a model in HH only

[arctic talon]

Vanus yeah

[crystal forum]

i like learning about more types of assassins

the standard 3 are kinda boring after a while

[dapper gyro]

SM is still the best mass produced troops. But the sheer number of the guard and navy carry the imperium.

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I'm leaving out like 3.

Like the Adamus temple are just decapitation strike ppl

[arctic talon]

Culexus forgotten

lol

Adamus doesn't even exist in 40k

💀

as far as we know

[crystal forum]

oh yeah the blank one

[rustic patrol]

he has like 1 model iirc

[arctic talon]

culexus, vindicare, eversor, callidus, venenum and vanus

[rustic patrol]

and it's old

[arctic talon]

are the ones confimred in 40k

Adamus got one for 30k

but the generical imperial assassin is old as shit

and is probably not canon now?

[crystal forum]

blank assassin is kinda boring though. what does it have except being a blank ninja?

[dapper gyro]

Then the one who lays eggs...

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think it's unspecified whether they exist in 40k. Could be considered like the predecessor to all the others though

[arctic talon]

shoots a beam that deletes your soul

[crystal forum]

oh right

[arctic talon]

also they're like

completely insane

[crystal forum]

what's the name of the shapeshifter again

with the xenoblade

[arctic talon]

calliduss

Culexus out of all the assasins enjoy suffering the most

[crystal forum]

that's like the most used assassin in stories i feel

[arctic talon]

literally not one we've seen

hasn't been a total sadist

[crystal forum]

didnt a culexus kill an ethereal tau

[dapper gyro]

You can't fix her.

[crystal forum]

like it was just a normal tuesday

[rustic patrol]

That's most Imperial factions tbh

[crystal forum]

tau aren't that weak though 😭

[storm jungle]

tbh

[crystal forum]

ethereals are strong af

[storm jungle]

the entire way that Eversor got there was like EXTREMELY convoluted lol

it wasnt just "he walks through the building"

they had to setup an entire fucking campaign to even sneak one inside

[dapper gyro]

It is fun that a SM being comparable to a temple assassin is a compliment.

[opaque coyote]

I think the Vanus are like

Intelligence gatherers and codebreakers.

Although the infocytes do look good

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

the Tauros one is funnier tho imo

Eversor goes in

thinks he killed a ethereal

its just some rando mcommander

[crystal forum]

i love how he's just trollfacing in the art though

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

this is my favorite callidus art

its not offical but idfc lol

[storm jungle]

gay

also fanart, banned

[arctic talon]

die

[dapper gyro]

Basically cp2077 netrunner

[crystal forum]

kinda lame that we only ever get one female depiction of callidus reused

[arctic talon]

There's

[crystal forum]

with the long ponytail

[arctic talon]

one piece of male callidus art

lol

[crystal forum]

for tactical reasons

[arctic talon]

the pony tail is tradition

but yeah its generic

[opaque coyote]

Honestly he was probably flexing

[crystal forum]

but yeah imperial assassins are terrifying

[dapper gyro]

Female vindicare is apparently a thing.

[opaque coyote]

Eversors probably act like they're the average fps video game protagonist.

[crystal forum]

KILL KILL KILL

[arctic talon]

All the assassins are both genders

[opaque coyote]

...God imagine an Eversor shouting slurs the entire time.

[arctic talon]

as far as we know

[crystal forum]

so me playing darktide

[arctic talon]

callidus just prefers women and culexus prefers men

[opaque coyote]

Basically

[arctic talon]

for temples

[surreal nest]

I didnt know Old World was actually like refreshes I thought they were just reselling shitty kits

[arctic talon]

Culexus its easy to imagine why they prefer men

bcs the SoS steal a bunch

lol

For callidus why they prefer women is

[rustic patrol]

Callidus is the only with more female because Polymorphine works better on women.

[arctic talon]

a mystery lol

oh is it that

then its that then

Lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah makes total sense

[opaque coyote]

"Stop FUCKING STEALING MY GOD DAMNED BLANKS"

[storm jungle]

totally not because uh

[opaque coyote]

"Nuh uh just get the men"

[storm jungle]

they wanna goon to women in skintight outfits

[crystal forum]

can we even call them women when they regularly turn into men too

[arctic talon]

here you get a calllidus with a non red pony tail

[crystal forum]

they're like the thing

[storm jungle]

They are very much women

they got a base form

[arctic talon]

look all I'm saying is umbral sixes ass is very well sculpted

lol

[storm jungle]

they arent shapeless

[storm jungle]

[dapper gyro]

I mean, normal death cult assassin suit is already quite tight.

[opaque coyote]

The reason why SMs are only men is because the Emperor only wanted his seed in men

[arctic talon]

And I expect all the assassin refresh to give them all nice asses lol

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

just saying

[rustic patrol]

it's not just skin tight. It's supposedly literally sprayed on clothing.

[arctic talon]

smh

[drowsy cliff]

Just wondering but what are the guardsman regiments in Darktide again? One is loyal and one went traitor, I think there's a third loyal one too?

[crystal forum]

god i wish i had access to warham+ when that was available

[arctic talon]

Moebian 6th
Moebian 21st
moebian 53rd

6th are traitors

[crystal forum]

best warham+ model

[arctic talon]

21st and 53rd are loyalists

[crystal forum]

by far

[arctic talon]

53rd are an armored regiment

[drowsy cliff]

Ah thanks

[arctic talon]

21st are ocean world specialists

[opaque coyote]

If you use the spray on a wall. Is there just fabric stuck to it

[dapper gyro]

Not for the regular death cult

[crystal forum]

there's also like 50 named moebian regiments in the store so check out the wiki of you want to waste some time

[opaque coyote]

Like how the fuck does that even work

[vagrant fox]

Sometimes I dream of a doom style game but good where you play an eversor

[dapper gyro]

Death cult is a tier lower. Also the spray suit lore is somewhat outdated.

[drowsy cliff]

Also one more thing, those dudes in black armour protecting Dukane, they're stormtroopers right? Elite guardsman

[arctic talon]

they're not stormtroopers(Maybe)

we're not sure

they're some subgroup in the 53rd

but their armor is still flak

[opaque coyote]

Honestly either an Eldar Aspect Warrior or an Eversor would make a good like

Doom Eternal/Ultrakill/generally really fast paced "boomer shooter"

[drowsy cliff]

I'm not into the miniatures myself

[arctic talon]

so they aren't regimental stormtroopers

[young pecan]

I like the guards that are next to those guards

[dapper gyro]

It says that normal soldiers also wear the same synth skin like the temple assassin... Which is eh.

[young pecan]

They're stupid and a little talkative

[crystal forum]

doom style game with actual good graphics so i can watch blood and gore splatter everywhere

[opaque coyote]

Or even Succubi/Mancubi for Deldar

[crystal forum]

no i meant the darktide cosmetics store. it names a ton of moebian regiments

[drowsy cliff]

Hm alright

[opaque coyote]

I prefer the Eldar option because variety is cool

But like

[arctic talon]

Succubi are just always called succubi

[drowsy cliff]

Oh

[opaque coyote]

Eversor are cool

[arctic talon]

Incubi are their own thing

[crystal forum]

i thought a male succubus was an incubus

[opaque coyote]

Are there male Succubi?

[arctic talon]

In really old lore yes, but in new lore no

[arctic talon]

not in 40k

[opaque coyote]

Or is it a Sister of Battle situation

[crystal forum]

himcubus

[daring creek]

ya know what

[arctic talon]

Succubi seem to only be women now

[opaque coyote]

Sad

[daring creek]

it might be time to tone it down to heresy.

[storm jungle]

Succubi can only be women

[arctic talon]

but GW could change that if they want

[storm jungle]

BUT

[arctic talon]

wych's are both gender

[crystal forum]

butt

[storm jungle]

A male dark eldar can transition to attain the position

[arctic talon]

Incubi are also both genders

yeah that

lol

[daring creek]

Theres also incubi

[storm jungle]

which is canon

[arctic talon]

Incubi hate not wearing armor

which is hilarious

[storm jungle]

Unrelated.

[arctic talon]

yeah

incubi are their own cult

[drowsy cliff]

Succubus - female
Incubus - male
Least that's old myth stuff... what are we talking about?

[arctic talon]

they worship khaine

fucking weirdos

[arctic talon]

Dark Eldar

[storm jungle]

Dark Eldar

[drowsy cliff]

Ah

[opaque coyote]

...

Why are the Deldar Trans allies what

[arctic talon]

succubi are the leader of wych cults

[storm jungle]

They arent allies so

its more that like

[arctic talon]

incubi are a mercenary cult

[storm jungle]

changing genders is THE LEAST of what haemonculi can do

[opaque coyote]

Fair.

Still fucking wild though

[dapper gyro]

Power at all cost

[arctic talon]

who worship khaine

[storm jungle]

I have an archon who literally was a woman at birth and joined a lhaemaen cult

[arctic talon]

Incubi are basically aspect warriors

but evil

[storm jungle]

then killed them all

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

took over

and transitioned to be a guy

lmao

[arctic talon]

also Drazhar is currently occupying a woman's body

lol

[storm jungle]

well

that doesnt really count

lol

[dapper gyro]

Why not?

[storm jungle]

Its an armor

it switches to what the OG owner was

also the person that put it on is dissolved

[opaque coyote]

Honestly a game where you play as just a wych cult Dark Eldar sounds cool as shit.

The style points could be the maximum amount of pain you can inflict on somebody in a short time (as an excuse for things like glory kills)

[arctic talon]

well she put on his helmet

not even his armor lol

[storm jungle]

I mean

thats not how it works

she'd also get his armor

lol

[rustic patrol]

We don't have any more details than this regarding Synskin, but I'd guess this is the base material Imperial Assassin suits are made of since they are called Sysnskin Bodygloves.

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

[storm jungle]

bruh thats like

the most ancient source

lol

[arctic talon]

but she was a Klaivex who tried to steal his armor after he died

[rustic patrol]

literally all we have

[arctic talon]

which turned out to be a bad idea

lol

[storm jungle]

the new assassinorum stuff also just shows it as a regular suit

sorry azumgi

you're all out of time

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lets-talk-questions-animal-pet-gif-18559329

[burnt maple]

Damn xenos and their damn... Stuff! Something, something, humans are cooler.

[storm jungle]

Something-something uhhh

immigrants = aliens

call in ICE I mean Arbites

[opaque coyote]

10 hours to put it on is wild

[burnt maple]

Dilara what the fuck xF

XD

[storm jungle]

You're the one coming in here with fingerpointing racism buddy

[arctic talon]

still so funny Incubi don't use guns

💀

like

seriously lol

[storm jungle]

blades are cooler, next question

also they are too fast

[burnt maple]

WAIT, HOLD ON.

[storm jungle]

✋

[vagrant fox]

Incubi remain the coolest deldar mfers 💯 💯

[rustic patrol]

this is just Synskin.

Assassins use Sysnskin bodygloves, so there's some extra steps that we don't know about in its manufacture

[opaque coyote]

Hey!

Arbites at least actually fight against threats instead of JUST random innocent people.

They do oppressionmaxxing! Killing actual armed people and innocents!

[opaque coyote]

POV you heard somebody accidentally touched the statue of the Emperor

[rustic patrol]

wait, is that the VR SoB game?

[drowsy cliff]

That stock femalescream.MP3 though

[burnt maple]

I dont point shit. I was... You know what, nevermind. Just please, font put political stuff into my mouth. Remember, I am the one that bitches about it the most.

[lament shoal]

Heard the scream and immediately thought of this

[opaque coyote]

Bro got his powers from Tzeentch

[burnt maple]

Lmao, chaos as I like them to be.

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

Kabalites are cooler

but Incubi are a close second

[dapper gyro]

Like Dilara wrote, it is old lore. These old lore without update most likely because GW don't care enough. Much like the difference between "Stub" and "auto" weapons, which are now accepted to be the same thing.

[lament shoal]

He failed his invuln save roll

[crystal forum]

damn they're actually adding infantry to war thunder

and it's not april first

[arctic talon]

he;s a raptor he doesn't have one

smh

[rustic patrol]

that'd be true, if we got any more details beyond this
so far, that's the only Synskin entry we have, so until we get it retconned it's part of lore

[drowsy cliff]

Can't wait for Warthunder to become Ukraine the game when infantry drone strike tanks in spawn

[crystal forum]

holy shit it looks like an actual fps too

[opaque coyote]

"okay now roll"

"You take 3 wounds, fatal."

"FUCK O-"

[crystal forum]

it's not some dumb enlisted shit

[dapper gyro]

I'm already doing that...

[crystal forum]

are you joking because there's literally a drone strike in the trailer lol

[opaque coyote]

T'au dreadnought

[crystal forum]

i think they're actually doing that

[vagrant fox]

vice versa incubi are definitely cooler because you can play one in rogue trader and it's so cool

[dapper gyro]

Play tier 7 and you have attack drone option in realistic battle.

[drowsy cliff]

Lmao I haven't watched it that was just a joke

[burnt maple]

I like to talk about anything Imperium! I feel superior.

[hallow saddle]

mandrake steps behind you

[opaque coyote]

Can't wait for them to be nerfed

[hallow saddle]

"heh...nothing personnel"

[dapper gyro]

Steel Legion, nice.

[storm jungle]

Kriegers quake in their boots at the mention of Steel Legion fans

[burnt maple]

Nah. Vostroyans OR Elysians. I like these guys.

[storm jungle]

👎

[burnt maple]

You fear to admit their greatness.

[storm jungle]

Mid, mid miiiiid

🥱

[drowsy cliff]

Reminds me ain't the "recon lasguns" their model of lasgun? The Elysians I mean

Do the Moebians have a unique model?

[burnt maple]

Yeah, kinda.

[burnt maple]

Some variation of Kantrael from what I saw.

[dapper gyro]

I'm not sure if it is updated lore, but the 3 main regiments to use camo according to their battlefield are the Cadian, Catachan and Elysians.

[jade holly]

Destiny Renegades be like

[dapper gyro]

Elysian needs a comeback.

[drowsy cliff]

Moebians seem to as well? Some kind of blue camo unless that's just modified surplus for the veteran penal soldiers

[burnt maple]

And then you have the imperial dripguard: Vostroyan Firstborn snd Mordian Iron Guard.

[dapper gyro]

Nope, that's just different regimental uniform colours.

[surreal nest]

Bro has different regimental uniform colors

[burnt maple]

... Yeah?

[dapper gyro]

21st Moebian is blue because they station at a ocean world, and they keep it in atoma.

[drowsy cliff]

What are we anyway? Our rejects? Inquisitorial penal battalion operatives?

[burnt maple]

Yes.

[lament shoal]

Abelard in literally any combat scenario:

[dapper gyro]

Meanwhile, the 8th Cadian for example, in lore, they change their camo depending on their deployment.

[storm jungle]

Not related to abelard, banned 👎

[drowsy cliff]

I was wondering if there was a specific name since we're better supplied then the average penal legion

[arctic talon]

our rejects are inqusitorial penal battalion operatives turned into warband members

once you're level 30

you're part of the inqusitors nerds

[drowsy cliff]

Ah

[arctic talon]

you're valued cannon fodder at level 30

[lament shoal]

i WILL bring up my favorite unc randomly

[near wasp]

I survived work three more days to go

[arctic talon]

the hive scum are still just cannon fodder 💀

the arbites aren't part of the warband

[drowsy cliff]

I mean it's the London class what do you expect

[dapper gyro]

Police and hooligan gang up against... Um, I don't know.

[drowsy cliff]

Crusties

[arctic talon]

Hadron sobbing as the gangers hand her 2 fucking shivs

made from a screw driver

[lament shoal]

Do you happen to know the name of the track in the second clip? Been looking for it

[arctic talon]

Its the hacking one transmission something

one moment

data interference

[arctic talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQ4_DIZbt0

[storm jungle]

thats the one

[vagrant fox]

I wonder how Hadron felt when I handed over nearly a hundred enginseers mk 6 crowbars and told her to make my favourite one better

[arctic talon]

was my favorite song in the game

[lament shoal]

Ty!

[arctic talon]

until they added The Gauntlet

lol

this shit goes hard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MK5pGJZi78

[drowsy cliff]

Oh yeah found it hilarious that baseball caps are a thing in the imperial guard

[arctic talon]

shame it only plays in one place

in the ENTIRE FUCKING GAME

[drowsy cliff]

Nevermind doesn't want to upload

[dapper gyro]

Mercantile

[drowsy cliff]

But I saw a guardsman in game with a bloody baseball cap which looked so out of place

Not even a patrol cap

[arctic talon]

yeah

[jade holly]

Wait Trazyn holds a fight club in his Museum??

[arctic talon]

I love the baseball cap dude

lol

[jade holly]

[dapper gyro]

I don't know how you would react if I tell you... Nah, I will tell you, that the orks also wear baseball cap...

[vagrant fox]

It's not a complex hat shape I'm not that weirded out by it

[arctic talon]

I love Archivum Sycorax so much lol

such a fun level

I wish the gauntlet played literally anywhere else

or there was a similar segment

[jade holly]

Carnival

[arctic talon]

does it play?

where

[jade holly]

Opening of the amphitheater mission, and when you get trapped in the circular room during the sabotage mission

[drowsy cliff]

I've seen em wear caps but they looked more shaped like patrol caps

[jade holly]

There’s a reason Carnival is my favorite tile set

[dapper gyro]

Mercantile is the one carnival map that I mentioned.

[jade holly]

[drowsy cliff]

That's a patrol style cap

[dapper gyro]

It is the only place I believe.

[vagrant fox]

The music from the new level is severely slappin

[dapper gyro]

Lol, it has a name? I work with the military and I haven't seen anyone call it so...

[drowsy cliff]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrol_cap

[near wasp]

Lol the aldari is an alcoholic

[drowsy cliff]

Military hats are more squared, baseball caps are rounded

[near wasp]

She's just like me fr
