[daring creek]

JUST it reminds me of ppl who somehow sides with the Imperium despite how blatantly it's written to be EVIL

Basically shouting

[humble shoal]

It gets into a slog

[daring creek]

"HI, WE ARE NOTSEE'S, HELLO. WE KILL PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE."

[humble shoal]

But its basically a society of people drugged into losing resistance

[daring creek]

Huh.

Interesting

[humble shoal]

It also gets.... interesting when you read about the author and his family

[late verge]

Judge zealot wrote this

[daring creek]

Respectable desire tbh

[lament shoal]

I literally referenced that article to some moron in gen chat yesterday and this was his response:

[humble shoal]

My favorite quote is still "One moments lenience is worth as much as a lifetime of betrayal."

[lament shoal]

"I won't buy the words of some community personnel at games workshop to dictate everything to me."

[lament shoal]

Its absolutely insane to me that even when the truth is LITERALLY staring at them right in the face, they still won't accept it

[humble shoal]

Nah bro imperium are da good guys

Muh shalamandahs

Muh preemarchs

[arctic talon]

3rd company of the salamanders the infant incinerators

[humble shoal]

Never ask vulcan what hes done to craftworlds

[lament shoal]

I am the server's one and only salamander fan, tread carefully there

[daring creek]

Ask them why exactly do they need to execute people not believing the emperor or why its necessary for everyone to be hitlerites

[lament shoal]

[arctic talon]

He did it to humans as well

Lmao

[humble shoal]

Yeah and thats why he felt bad

[lament shoal]

They all did it to humans

Never ask the Lion what he did during the great crusade

[arctic talon]

He’s proud of it

So

[humble shoal]

Never ask sanguinius where that menial went

[arctic talon]

…..

Well sanguinus was also proud of it

Lmao

[humble shoal]

Of succ

[vagrant fox]

Sanguinius made sure the Baalites would suffer for eternity

[arctic talon]

He calls himself an angel in the “smiting people” sense

lol

Not in the

“I’m so kind and generous” sense

[humble shoal]

Oh I was referring to the red thirsty

[arctic talon]

Also blood angels inductii

Started self canabalizing again

Which he was fine with

[storm jungle]

"They are not doing evil for evils sake"

[arctic talon]

I mean

[storm jungle]

how to tell someone doesnt understand powerful human beings 101

[arctic talon]

They def do

lol

[storm jungle]

tbh Elite you infected me

[arctic talon]

The imperium empowers people like that

[storm jungle]

EVERY TIME someone says this

[arctic talon]

How

[storm jungle]

i remember that one admech fleet

who fucking use people as batteries

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Oh the bio energy one?

Lmfao

[storm jungle]

its so fucking funny

[arctic talon]

Yeah well

Filthy apes don’t deserve electricity

Including the biological kind

Now hand it over

🪫

[opaque coyote]

Got done watching the matrix

"Holy shit this looks cool, let me try that!"

[arctic talon]

Well

The fulgurite electro priests

Don’t think anyone but the Mechanicus deserves electricity

lol

[daring creek]

No whats better is

[daring creek]

Why does the imperium need servitors?

:)

Or Hive cities

[opaque coyote]

Imagine a Fulgurite seeing like a normal Civilian play video games.

[daring creek]

or forge worlds

[opaque coyote]

Forge Worlds are basically just gigantic factories

[celest cedar]

the torment nexus...

[daring creek]

Slavery basically yeah?

[opaque coyote]

You can argue that their existence is needed for mass industry on a galactic scale.

Not their methods though.

[daring creek]

Just, fucking, slavery.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[celest cedar]

yes we are completely going to create the Torment Nexus based off of the book Do Not Create The Torment Nexus

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/5/58/Fulgurite.png/revision/latest?cb=20170927012034

Remember lore wise electro priests don’t get to wear clothes till they get higher ranked

lol

[opaque coyote]

..."The flesh is weak" they say

[humble shoal]

Just realize that the tech priests are just elon musk

[opaque coyote]

Damn look at that

[humble shoal]

And all of the other sv ceos

[arctic talon]

They’ve got more augmentics under the skin

[humble shoal]

In 30k years

[arctic talon]

Why tf do you think they’re blue

lol

[opaque coyote]

Wouldn't say that because the tech priests probably spend less time crying about their ex on social media

[humble shoal]

You just dont understand hexad

[opaque coyote]

I would ask why the Salamanders are charcoal black with glowing red eyes.

I can believe that a human can become blue without augments

[humble shoal]

What do you think they are saying

[humble shoal]

Sallys are literally cooked

[opaque coyote]

But yeah fair

[opaque coyote]

The cooked cook heretics

Making them more cooked

[humble shoal]

The red eyes are because they are actually albinos

Just cooked albinos

[opaque coyote]

Inverted Albinos basically

Well inverted would have their eyes be blue

[humble shoal]

Then they wpuld have blue eyes

[opaque coyote]

But shut u-

[humble shoal]

I only refer to primarchs in my head as their gay primarch names now, the video has cursed me

The khans is still the best

"Why is his skin white?... It isnt"

[opaque coyote]

Show me the video

[humble shoal]

I... think it got taken down lmao

[opaque coyote]

[humble shoal]

||khans name was wankaguy calm||

[humble shoal]

[daring creek]

@crystal forum I think I understand why it feels filler to you. Though..still feels essential.

[humble shoal]

Or ask them to tongue punch your ears

[daring creek]

Ear tonguing

nice.

That and the secret knowledge yakub used to make white people

TADC Episode is out.

Yipee

[opaque coyote]

And finally

https://youtu.be/smASN9FEv3o?si=yWeriEAoKIBFYZIP

I need slander for different Psyker schools

"Pyromancers will have their flames be blocked by somebody with armor and say:"

"Trust me bro I can't be replaced by a flamer!"

[humble shoal]

Yakub used grafting

To grow the white man

[winged jacinth]

He used tricknology

One of the lesser known bans in the imperium alongside abominable intelligence is teachnology

[humble shoal]

Im fairly certain what I said is the muslim brotherhood yakub lore

[winged jacinth]

Its not the most coherent lore i don't think they ever nailed it down

[humble shoal]

Also 10/10 malcolm x going to mecca and being shocked that yakub wasnt in all of islam

[humble shoal]

Also the full name is big head yakub

[winged jacinth]

I don't remember where i heard the tricknology/teachnology thing but it stuck because its so funny

[humble shoal]

Put some respec on his name

[winged jacinth]

Big headed scientist

[humble shoal]

Ive heard actual muslim brotherhood guys call him big head yakub

[winged jacinth]

For all we know the emperor is yakub

Gw let us know

Yes. Place is a cesspit of scum and villainy.

[surreal nest]

Terrifying sentiment if its coming from a black templar fan

[surreal nest]

Discord mods for an IP with a satirical take on overt fascism

Not a chance!

[storm jungle]

REAL.

never forget the "F" incident

[surreal nest]

I would almost be sympathetic to them however I feel like they were long mentally disturbed and angry before they were HD2 mods

[celest cedar]

is there any positive thing about them 💀

they sounded super strict from what I hear

[urban spire]

i was briefly on the helldivers discord but people on there make everything into a fucking argument

i didn't get banned to be clear, i just got my ass out of there

That frying pan has a history as well

Shame every Ogryn lady in the novels gets murdered.

[abstract vector]

ah ok

i was thinking aos

[outer wave]

I know of one artist that may or may not do that, but outside of them, they do that?

[storm jungle]

Yes lol

[outer wave]

Okay thats who I was referring to

Aside from them though? I havent really seen it

[abstract vector]

He is the only one making Waifus of Ogryns iirc

Just him

oh

[outer wave]

Least the head looks more proportional? Though its not like Im seeing the full on art

[storm jungle]

yeah its pretty goonery

also "proportional"

mfer i swear 💀

[outer wave]

I find the ogryn's head in the first image is weirdly small for her torso

[abstract vector]

oh yeah

Octosoup draws Uma Musume x Darktide

He plays Darktide

[crystal forum]

this feels wrong

also ogryns arent lean

barely disguised fetish

[copper patrol]

that ain't disguised

it's very specifically an ogryn gf

it's right on the tin

[storm jungle]

Generic anime girl

[daring creek]

tfw no ugly bastard fem ogyrn

[outer wave]

I have yet to see an Ugly Bastard male ogryn so we're jumping a few steps

[crystal forum]

is the point of this stuff not to pretend like the artist wants a wholesome relationship

[copper patrol]

[stiff goblet]

Anyone played rogue trader?

Man yrliet is insufferable

[wintry cloud]

this guy must do porn right

[wintry cloud]

yes
and i agree yeah she doesnt stop talking about Mon-keighs

[crystal forum]

least annoying eldar

[stiff goblet]

You deal with all this haughty snide condescending dialog from her then she gets played by drukhari in the most embarrassingly obvious way

[abstract vector]

Octosoup does

Octosoup does lewd content for the waifus

[storm jungle]

Tbh considering the shit the Imperium does i dont really blame her

[crystal forum]

eldar act like they lost their homeworld or something

[stiff goblet]

Everyone wants to kill Marazhai of course but he’s entertaining in his own way. He’s so deranged and angry

[storm jungle]

Do not listen to them

hes fucking hilarious

legit one of the best characters in the game

[wintry cloud]

TRUE

[copper patrol]

wish there was an more expanded option to work with him in comoragh then tell him to fuck off

[wintry cloud]

killing him is missing so much good content

[storm jungle]

ım PRETTY sure you can dismiss him later cant you?

you can do that with every companion iirc

[copper patrol]

you can but it's very very lame

[storm jungle]

tbh thats the thing with all RPGs

"I want you to leave"

"Ok bye"

[stiff goblet]

On the contrary. This is the first time in my warhammer life I found myself thinking “you know, what if the zealots were right all along?”

[crystal forum]

i like how the new darktide mission confirms that the rejects can do the job of an entire guard regiment if required

[storm jungle]

If a band of chimpanzees broke into your house shooting everything with shotguns i think you'd probably go the opposite route

[copper patrol]

it'd be nice to make it clear from the start it's a temporary partnership rather then just him joining my crew, feels more reasonable for a more neutral rogue trader

[storm jungle]

counterpoint

[stiff goblet]

Who marazhai or yrliet? Yrliet doesn’t make a clever remark at all. Marazhai is constantly snapping and sneering

[storm jungle]

he gets to kill homeless people

[storm jungle]

Marazhai

also hes not really sneering

hes just a little shit

its like having a cat but he can shoot people

[abstract vector]

Marazhai mostly does whatever he wants

[crystal forum]

default eldar personality

[stiff goblet]

Did humanity throw the first stone? Lore wise I don’t know

[abstract vector]

DE hating everything they see

[storm jungle]

The Imperium are literal space nazis who kill everyone

[crystal forum]

eldar threw the first stone at their own face

[abstract vector]

IIRC Yrielet homeworld is an exodite world

[storm jungle]

Also this guy is lying

[abstract vector]

They occupied it first

[copper patrol]

eldar threw the first stone at humanity in general by making the big fucky wucky

[storm jungle]

👎

[storm jungle]

Humanity also tore the entire galaxy in half

[abstract vector]

then Imperium colonised it

[storm jungle]

i think they won the competition

[crystal forum]

eldar isn't just one faction anyways

some are assholes

[storm jungle]

average geopolitics moment

[abstract vector]

So far Bieltan are the only ones having a over arching goal

[stiff goblet]

Nah that’s too heavy of condemnation. If you look at threats like the ork, drukhari and tyranids while considering most people can’t even read, the relative logic adds up

[copper patrol]

crack pipe take, but the imperium wouldn't exist without the elder, thusly the eldar are responsible for the imperiums

[abstract vector]

they want to rebuild their empires and helping exodites

[copper patrol]

Bieltan has alot of allies so far

[crystal forum]

the age of strife isn't directly caused by the awakening of slaanesh

[storm jungle]

Its very much not, the Imperium give no path to reason and kill anyone that doesnt bow to their rule, a couple of evil generic aliens doesnt mean every foreign species should be exterminated, a lot of 30k/Heresy book showcases that theres no need for mass genocide on a galactic scale.

[crystal forum]

humanity did age of strife all by themselves

[outer wave]

That has me asking now: before Emperor's ascent to power and during the DAoT, do we know what humanity was like? There's bits and bobs from the tech we find from Butcher's Nails to that one story about the AI on a Spacehulk/ship thing that was aware that his captain was killed by some fellow.

[stiff goblet]

But back to my point, yrliet sucks. I did let her live but I chose the “show me you’re willing to suffer” dialog option at meeting her again

purge the elderly

[storm jungle]

Yeah we do, me and my friend Rabs spent a ton of time documenting what DAOT humanity was like, they also sucked lmao

they literally would wage "gene-wars" on each other

or release mega-death plagues

[outer wave]

Jesus fucking Christ

[storm jungle]

toh some also made pacts with aliens with is neat

[stiff goblet]

So what’s this mean?

[storm jungle]

Exodites are basically wood elves who dont bother anyone

[abstract vector]

IIRC Horus Heresy mentioned Dark Age of Technology human life varied. Some were well off while others wage petty wars

[copper patrol]

also they have dinosaurs

[crystal forum]

dilara is wrong. ancient humanity was star wars

this is real and true

[abstract vector]

Exodites Eldar hated their people for being hedonites and left their empire for exile

[outer wave]

I guess that makes them a bit better than current Imperium?

Not really but kinda, maybe

[copper patrol]

I mean DAoT humanity wasn't a single conglomerate

[crystal forum]

humanity wasn't a monolith, is the thing you should take from that tbh

[outer wave]

Yeah I see it

[abstract vector]

They mostly settled down on the edge of their own empire to settledown and dont want the excess life. It saved millions because they were not in the heart of their empire

[storm jungle]

Yeah DAOT humanity was still way better

they just fucked off and all did what they want

the Imperium sucks monkey balls

[abstract vector]

Dark Age Humans had alliances with Xeno races

[storm jungle]

Yeah but it differs from group to group

they all did their own thing

[abstract vector]

Only when the Men of Iron rebelled that their allies turned on them

[storm jungle]

Kinda

[crystal forum]

random reminder that malcadore the sigilite owned the mona lisa for some reason

[storm jungle]

we dont really know what happened

[abstract vector]

Majority of Humans allied with Xenos

mentioned in the HH Books via remembrancers

[rose thorn]

[stiff goblet]

Yea they’re probably being reactive and pragmatic at the same time. Take that like I said most people are granted limited intellectual capacity, supplies of anything are limited, the dangers in the expanse are just as unlimited. They took the brutal yet simplistic route. The Tau are a pretty good argument not to be universally hostile but then again they’re really set on converting all species or forcing them through war inevitably

[crystal forum]

like it's funny to think that real life stuff exists in 40k

[copper patrol]

you know people banging aliens is what pissed big e off

[abstract vector]

Oh yeah

Psykers were idolized during DAOT

[storm jungle]

They arent being "pragmatic", the lore literally says the Imperium is ruled by mindless bloodshed with no reason, there is nothing to defend from the stuff they inflict on others.

[abstract vector]

but when Warp shenanigans happen majority become daemon worlds

[rose thorn]

beat me to it

[crystal forum]

which books

[stiff goblet]

Oh you mean outcasts. Yea they seem like the respectable lot. Most remaining aeldar seem controlled for their past discrepancies

[crystal forum]

[abstract vector]

I remember it was the whats the empire called

[storm jungle]

They arent outcasts

thats a social class

[abstract vector]

the one allied with humans and xenos

[storm jungle]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Exodite

[copper patrol]

interex?

[crystal forum]

that's just a small fragment of humanity

[storm jungle]

Interex

[abstract vector]

Yeah Interex

[stiff goblet]

Yea but they call themselves the outcast path

[outer wave]

I would not personally call turning a bunch of innocent lives into living cyborgs so they can sweep floors, write down survellience data, or open doors as pragmatic nor reactive to the current threats.

[rose thorn]

feel liek if they add an exodite army it will just be readded to craftworlds the edition after lmao

[abstract vector]

But a remembrancer had like a one off sentence how some Human Worlds allied with xenos

[storm jungle]

No they dont, they are their own sub-faction.

outcast are rangers

which is what Yrliet is

[crystal forum]

yeah some

[abstract vector]

like literal on sentence lore and it intrigued me

[stiff goblet]

Yea they each choose a caste. She’s part of that caste

[crystal forum]

there would be way less worlds in the imperium if most of humanity allied with xenos

[storm jungle]

its not a caste 😩

[crystal forum]

because great crusades would have wiped them out

[abstract vector]

not Caste, Eldar Path

[storm jungle]

yeah that

Caste is what Tau do lol

[crystal forum]

tau eldar

[abstract vector]

its only Tau who uses a caste system similiar to Indian caste system

[stiff goblet]

That’s what I said the first time 😵‍💫

[storm jungle]

"similiar"

[crystal forum]

or any caste system?

[storm jungle]

no

[crystal forum]

since that's what a caste system is

[storm jungle]

also i need to read up on the indian caste system

i literally only learned it from the tau lmao

[fervent geode]

Only the T'au have castes

[storm jungle]

someone gimme a rundown

[crystal forum]

brahmin are assholes

[fervent geode]

Basically similar but worse i guess

[storm jungle]

Im glad we dont have such social classes where we all live

[fervent geode]

Brahmin are the top, priests and holy men, kings back in the day too

[crystal forum]

i had multiple indians explain the castes to me but i forget many things

[storm jungle]

were you not paying attention to the lore?

[crystal forum]

what lore

[storm jungle]

🤨

real life lore

smh

i dont listen to many things

Kshatriyas are 2nd layer iirc, warriors and kings, they were basically the fighter class

[stiff goblet]

No that’s sadistic but its the grimdark universe

[storm jungle]

I mean so what if its grimdank, its evil

[fervent geode]

Vaisya are similar to a "middlw caste" of merchants, craftsmen, traders and the like, the in between

[storm jungle]

daily reminder that corporates would turn us all into servitors if they could

[crystal forum]

i'm already a servitor

[fervent geode]

Sudras are the common caste of farmworkers and dayworkers who made of the majority of the populace

[storm jungle]

not until you become a fax machine

[fervent geode]

Dalits are the "out-caste" they are technically not even a caste and they are forced into roles like street cleaning and shunned by all other castes

[abstract vector]

I read it before during highschool. The indian caste system is where the Brahmins are Priests and Kings, Khatriyas are warriors, Vashiyas are farmers, traders and merchants, Shudras are labourers and Dalits or untouchables who are looked down upon because its also tied to their religion where untouchables are reincarnated into being there because you got it coming via karma

[storm jungle]

damn this shit goes deep

[fervent geode]

That is a basic summary, but there are many lesser castes based on region

[crystal forum]

the caste system isn't exactly followed anymore in case that needs to be said

[outer wave]

Exactly; its not a pragmatic or even slightly logical thing to do for any society to try doing. And this is one example within the Imperium that is straight up cruel and unnecessary.

[abstract vector]

It isnt but bias is still there

[storm jungle]

hold on i gotta ask Google AI

[abstract vector]

AI instead of reading

[storm jungle]

you cant even read any lexicanum pages i post

[fervent geode]

Well many people still want to marry or connect based on caste

[abstract vector]

I do wdym

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

It's not still followed but Dalits still have it bad in a lot of cases

[fervent geode]

And dalits are still shunned in some placed

[crystal forum]

[abstract vector]

[fervent geode]

Yeah dalit rights is an ongoing issue

[storm jungle]

[stiff goblet]

That’s cool but its not relevant to policy on other species tbh

[fervent geode]

I am not Indian though, so maybe one coukd take over from me

[outer wave]

It is because if the Imperium treats their own people like that, imagine what they do to everyone that isn't them?

[abstract vector]

I heard from friends, Untouchables are fucked. Despite the indian caste system is basically not required or by law its followed. Prejudiced and Bias are still ongoing, theres some old habits still being followed

[outer wave]

Not necessarily aliens either, just outcast human settlements

[storm jungle]

Abelard literally sees lower-crewmen as "subhuman"

lmao

[outer wave]

Or people that want to advance technologically despite church dogma saying otherwise

[abstract vector]

They get mocked and looked down upon because its tied to the belief of reincarnation too

[fervent geode]

Very much so, basically they have very bad rights in life

[abstract vector]

You are there because you did something horrible in your past life

Imagine they justify you’re a criminal, murderer and etc

[fervent geode]

Damn, i had heard of the reincarnation thing but i didnt know it was this bad

Some shit

[stiff goblet]

Most people are force conscripted or in penal labor of some kind. The whole conceptual universe with the inconceivable masses of people and how they handle things is likely to showcase the futility of such mass bureaucracy and enforcement along with the issue of scientific degradation

[abstract vector]

Friend told me in another country his coworker was mocked because reincarnation belief (untouchable) but he just told them to fuck off

imagine community still has it 24/7

[storm jungle]

Thats just real life

oh wait

[fervent geode]

Well certain sectors of the Mechanicus still advances in various fields after STC recovery or outright innovation in the case of Cawl, few of the main Imperial Cult sects (Temple or Confederation) actually care for tech-heresy or innovation crime

[storm jungle]

mechanicus adepts rarely ever innovate to help people

they do it for their own progress

[fervent geode]

The radical mechanicus basically

[storm jungle]

and to also rise in prominence/fame etc

[fervent geode]

Why should they

They dont care for people

[storm jungle]

Because its the morally correct thing to do

...

I LITERALLY JUST SAID WHY THEY DONT

LMAO

[copper patrol]

can we get a time without talking about how the imperium is bad poster

[abstract vector]

Even if Civilised worlds that Sandy, Dan Abnett and others portrayed like okish world to flesh out the imperium. Majority of alot of sectors are in a fucked Authoritarian Feudal system

[storm jungle]

hard to do when people dont read tbh

[fervent geode]

Heh, assuming they still have morals anyway

[stiff goblet]

What? Get a hold of things. Some things in the future might look daunting on the horizon but life today is definitely far more civil and liberating than anything existing in warhammer. We have a parade of rights and privileges by comparison

Sure, but I'd say those are the exception, not the rule. The rule typically being "You cannot develop new technology unless you found an STC for it.". Its one way how Cawl gets away with developing anything, because he just buries his new gadgets and says he found it.

[copper patrol]

it's also surprisingly efficient, turns out people work better when they aren't dying or wanting too

[storm jungle]

Idk man, ive seen worse shit IRL that doesnt even compare to warhammer lol

also "parade of rights" 💀

[storm jungle]

This is actually a plotpoint in the Forges of Mars book

[fervent geode]

I know the imperium is bad, it is in every 40k book's beginning, but it is pointless to try and impose morals on a structure that is inherently disgusting and immoral imo

[storm jungle]

Wait

[fervent geode]

Obviously i agree, Cawl has even been accused of tech heresy many times

[storm jungle]

you said its pointless to impose morals but also impose morals and call them disgusting/immoral

😭

[fervent geode]

Well yeah

Its pointless to assume they would do like this

[outer wave]

Well, how would we know if said structure is immortal and disgusting by design if we cannot impose morals upon it?

[fervent geode]

But we know they are morally disgusting in our world

[stiff goblet]

Yea parade like a long line of abstractions. What’s the problem?

[copper patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/dante-thinking-of-tomato-tomato-dante-gif-14447529819780456012

Basically we shouldnt assume they do anything morally since they are morally abhorrent by nature

in the US it is but people do nothing

so i guess it doesnt really matter if it was

[outer wave]

Yeah I guess

Man, Im gonna sound naive, but why cant people just get along and not wanna silence or oppress another?

[abstract vector]

its complicated due to bad blood between countries especially in Asia then other shenanigans

[daring creek]

Please look at a history book

[outer wave]

Yeah I know Asia has a slew of problems

[daring creek]

unfortnately world peace cannot be a thing

[storm jungle]

Because we as humans by nature evolved to fear the unknown/things we find strange.

Every person in the world could look the same and we'd still find a reason to kill each other, its essentially an doomer evolutionary trait, you can overcome it obviously but most people just choose not to as banding together to hate Group A is easier for some.

Are people still illusioned with trump?

[outer wave]

Probably

[daring creek]

Jeez.

It's really difficult for me to believe these sorts of people exist.

Buttt

they do.

[outer wave]

They're desperate for change and they decided to back the pedo

I guess I cant completely blame them: he has some wit to him when he's up on a soapbox and says his mind

But people take that as political confidence rather than him just being a blunt comedian

[storm jungle]

Latter is most likely

Vance has zero charisma

Donny is the only thing properly keeping the party going as its central figurehead

[proven needle]

Wit? Sounds like an incoherent, raving lunatic to me.

[storm jungle]

Hey

they never said "wit" in a positive way

[proven needle]

Fair point

[outer wave]

Yeah he doesnt have it much anymore, but 10 years ago, he had some charm to him. He's just an incoherent old man nowadays that babbles about Canada or Somalians or how much money theyre gonna make

And then proceeds to sign off on spending deals that deflate the reliability of America as a whole

I dont think Id have cared as much if it weren't for the fact a lot of my friends live in the US and for some reason, America has been doing that whole 51st state shit

Salvar Chemdogs

Nah, it would have

Chemdogs arent a penal regiment nor are they like Rejects IIRC

Elysian Drop Troops
Vostroyans

I love vostroyans! I made one when I last played rogue trader

20 dollars for both Elysian and Vostroyan Skin for total war 40k

[fossil current]

I thought they were penal? What planet do they come from?

[lament shoal]

THEY'RE AT THE GATES!

[outer wave]

Salvar. I dont recall the exact reasons why, but Salvar Chemdogs arent quite considered a penal regiment the same way the average one is. I think they get certain freedoms and such unlike penal regiments

[abstract vector]

Savlar is a full regiment but their homeworld is a penal colony

They’re from a penal world but are not a penal regiment

[urban spire]

is it odd that the votann aren't going to be in DoW4 or TWWH40k at launch?

i guess they're getting an appearance in mechanicus 2

[fervent geode]

They prob want the big sellers in first sadly

CA prob want to milk a Votann DLC too

[queen laurel]

They are the newest and therefore safe to say One of the least popular factions around

I do like them but they are the newest and they are competing next to guys that have been here way longer

[urban spire]

fair

woulda thought gw would want to push them harder

[dapper gyro]

They are off shot of the imperium for the general audience.

[urban spire]

BECAUSE they're new i mean

[dapper gyro]

GW works in a mysterious way.

[celest dome]

But as a lesser role

As they won't be playable ad base

(Unknoen if they'll be as dlc either though)

[arctic talon]

No, they have a smallish model range +they’re new

GW might want to give them more time

[celest dome]

Do we know how DoW4 will introduce more factions ?

Simply dlc/expansion

[abstract vector]

AMA said they have plans but they concentrate on launch first

Because they’re concentrating on the alpha test feedback

So far they confirmed they have alot of overhauls to Animations, Weapons/Units Balancing and Performance

[queen laurel]

Knowing king art They will focus on the launch first then when they have the opportunity they will make a DLC pack containing a campaign for the faction and said faction

They did this with Usonia in iron harvest

[celest dome]

Not a bad prospect

[rocky gale]

Their roster is like the same size as the Drukhari at this point

[celest dome]

Drukhari do have more set lore units and such

[nocturne crest]

So how much DLC will total war 40k be pumping out?

[celest dome]

As much as they can physically do

And probably some sequels

[plush mason]

its ether gona be a trilogy or a single title with like 3k or more worth of dlc

but hey its the first TW game coming with blood and gore at launch and not in a dlc

[celest dome]

Is it ?

Thought they would still do that for the PG rating

[plush mason]

nope

they announced it will have it at launch

[abstract vector]

IF we go total war warhammer 1

it was Empire vs Vampires

Dwarf vs Orks

[queen laurel]

A 40K game without gore in the beginning?

[abstract vector]

Beastmen
Wood elves

norscans

[queen laurel]

40k

40k

[abstract vector]

[celest dome]

Same can be said about warhammer fantasy 🤷

[plush mason]

thats exactly what they said in the announcement lmao, it wouldnt be 40k without it

[celest dome]

Can't seem to find that, any source ?

[abstract vector]

If same pattern
10-15 dollar Lord pack
Space Marine vs Orks
Imperial Guard vs Eldar
(Woodelves) Chaos pack
Another lord pack
Adeptus mechanicus

[celest dome]

Wouldn't it be closer to the TWW3 type dlc ? So releasing 3 Lords/Subfactions, with each being able to be purchased separately

[abstract vector]

true

i used total war warhammer 1 because they have starting army and they gave them lord packs

[plush mason]

from the website

https://www.totalwar.com/news/total-war-warhammer-40000

[celest dome]

Good to know

[plush mason]

which funny enough this does seem to prove that whole "keep the rating" thing was basically a lie to sell a dlc

LORD RANNICK A SECOND TRAIN HAS HIT THE MORBIA-

[tough haven]

they better not fucking make you pay for factions when they get released

[celest dome]

Dlc factions are pretty much bound to happen 💀

If they're not just barred behind sequels

Which might make it quite funny to see how DoW4 will go instead

[wet sandal]

Obviously they will

[fervent geode]

Its CA, they do this every game since Rome 2

[plush mason]

they very much will, that is their main way to finance the game

[abstract vector]

Biggest complaint is their monetization schemes

[plush mason]

yup

[fervent geode]

Yea

[tough haven]

As a xenos fan I’m gonna get like fuckin maybe one faction I want to play

I’m guessing orks

Probably not necrons

[tough haven]

Idk why this is so funny to me

[fervent geode]

Prob a few DLCs later on or in the 2nd game, gotta get the cron fan money

[copper patrol]

Orks already in

wierd that chaos isn't in the starting line up since they have all the daemon models ready, but maybe they want to change them for the new engine or smth

[celest dome]

Wasn't in TWW fantasy 1 either

Empire/Vampire/Greenskins/Dwarfs

[copper patrol]

but they are have the models and animations already done just in the old engine

i'm fine with no chaos it's just a wierd step when they have the daemons done already

[celest dome]

Cause it's better to keep Daemons for the end, and they probably won't do Daemon only factions, and rather have the "monogod" faction as the 4 Chaos SM factions (World Eater; Death Guard; Thousand Sons; Emperor's Children)

The biggest question is where the Night Lord, Word Bearer, Iron Warrior and Alpha Legion would be

[copper patrol]

different factions of CSM proly

rather then seperate races

they may lump the 4 monogod csm factions into that as well

like the champions of chaos dlc's monogod chaos warriors

[near wasp]

I think it'd be cool to recruit the non god csm legions as mercenaries/heros

[celest dome]

Loyalist:

• Ultramarine / White Scars / Salamander / Raven Guard / Dark Angel / Blood Angel / Imperial Fist
• Space Wolf
  Chaos:
• Black Legion / World Eater / Night Lord / Alpha Legion
• World Eater
• Death Guard
• Thousand Sons
• Emperor's Children

---

Every line being a race, with each getting a faction dlc ?

[celest dome]

God if they put the Chaos Primarchs in the CSM/Black Legion race instead of their Monogod faction again 💀

[copper patrol]

40k has generally less different like races then fantasy (I think) so it may be monogods as fully seperate

as it'd be less bloat, comparatively

[languid meadow]

They said every major faction is getting a dlc which probably means every faction playable on the TT

[fervent geode]

For the 1st game?

[languid meadow]

Yes

[fervent geode]

Dayum

Cant wait for the dlcs

[copper patrol]

I am excited to be able to make "my dudes"

my special marines

[celest dome]

Wait so they're really planning on having 1 game with a long string of dlc ? Or will it be multiple games like the fantasy trilogy

[tough haven]

Chaos marines

They’re might still be daemons

[celest dome]

Quite unlikely

[languid meadow]

No idea they didn't mention a sequel in the QnA

[copper patrol]

I mean

would they?

[languid meadow]

And the interview they did they seemed like they wanted to drag the game out like wh3

[celest dome]

I don't actually see that thing, about every faction being dlc or something (in the QA)

[languid meadow]

Hold on

[celest dome]

FAQ:

Q: What is the release date?
A: We’re not sharing a release date at this time, but will have lots more to talk about later in 2026

Q: What platforms will Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 be available on?
A: It will be available on PC, PlayStation®5 (PS5®) and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Q: Where are the Chaos Space Marines?
A: Whilst they’re not in the game at launch, they’ll absolutely be part of our plans at some point, along with all the other iconic factions from the setting.

Q: Will there be a pre-order DLC?
A: No. More details about pre-order bonuses will be revealed later in 2026.

Q: What are the PC specifications for this game?
A: We don't yet have any PC specifications for the title. These will be revealed closer to launch.

Q: How can I keep up to date with news about the game?
A: The best way to keep up to date with the game is to follow our official channels: Discord   |  Facebook   |   Instagram   |   Threads   |   Bluesky  |   X   |  YouTube |  Bilibili

[abstract vector]

Subfactions:
SM- Black Templars, Crimson Fist, Sons of Dorn and Etc
IG - Elysians, Vostroyans, Krieg, Morians and etc
Orks- Freebootaz
Aeldari - Exodites

[outer wave]

I wonder how knights will be implemented

[celest dome]

Aeldari sub factions will be the Chroneworlds, Exodite wouldn't be the same race

[wet sandal]

those vampire coast walking things with cannons

done

[outer wave]

Yeah but as a whole faction?

[copper patrol]

hmm

[wet sandal]

wait until you find out about the tabletop

[celest dome]

If GW/CA want to go as far into the SM slop, they'll do races as a the Legions, and the successor chapters as the Factions

[wet sandal]

tldr, yes, the whole faction

[copper patrol]

prolly mercs for imperium factions

[languid meadow]

I mean my message says "probably" but yeah they make it clear all the big ones are being added

[outer wave]

Dude I know thats how they play on tabletop, but would that translate well into Total War is my question

[languid meadow]

I think knights will be probably be single units you could recruit for guard and admech probably

[celest dome]

Orks are getting Stompa, so probably will be accessible to IG, Admech and perhaps any Imperial faction as super heavy unit

[outer wave]

That sounds more right to me

[celest dome]

Kinda like how you have Gotrek and Felix available for quite a lot of the Old World Order factions

[copper patrol]

^

they could do a whole faction

[languid meadow]

There're also a couple super heavy units you can recruit on multiple factions

[copper patrol]

but it'd just be doom stacking the faction

[languid meadow]

Dragons, hydras, etc

I don't think they'll ever add titans if they do it's probably just a single warhound

Legendary hero princep

[copper patrol]

hmm

could make it take up multple unit slots

and give the full ones

• make them real expensive

[celest dome]

A Collegia Titanica or even Questoris Imperialis race would be somewhat impossible to do, best pick would be having the Knight be Heroes tbh

[copper patrol]

and don't add them to multiplayer

[languid meadow]

Yeah they'd either be a RoR or hero

[copper patrol]

or just a general capped unit

ie dread suarians

[languid meadow]

Hopefully they won't be as bad

[copper patrol]

there is a decent few ways to have limited availability

[celest dome]

Having Stompa, Knight and such be heroes would be such baller move as you could kit them out as you want

[languid meadow]

My Knight with 60% ward save never dying

[copper patrol]

what'd be some silly doom stacks

[languid meadow]

All assault marines

[copper patrol]

I mean the IG oops all baneblades

[languid meadow]

All land raiders, all killa kans

[copper patrol]

could be funny

[celest dome]

My Admech faction building a much as possible in Questoris Knight and Secutarii armies

"oh god everyone is dying"

lol

[languid meadow]

Poser racist

Hilarious actually

[arctic talon]

drops a slur

feels bad when a literal war breaks out again later

what did he mean by this

[late verge]

Next darktide class

[copper patrol]

dread saurian vs tertium hive

[late verge]

Lizardmen who convinced the inquisition that theyre abhumans so they can fight chaos

[celest dome]

I mean, Scallies exist

[copper patrol]

a Slaan vs an inquisitor

[copper patrol]

whos more prone to extreme measures

[celest dome]

Ogryn Sized, but with sharp claws and teeth, and hardy scalles

[copper patrol]

Kroxigors are basically just lizard ogryn

[celest dome]

Ye roughly

[late verge]

You say that like the slaan isnt the inquisitor

[celest dome]

Damn you could really run a Kroxigor gang as Scallies with the Slave Ogryn rules

[late verge]

Kroxis and ogryns would get along or they would hate each other no in between

[urban spire]

who's this pretty lady?

[arctic talon]

a Necromundan Scalie

[near wasp]

Reminds me of my mother

[urban spire]

so many beautiful women in necromunda

[rose thorn]

you forgot harliquins and snaggas

[wintry scarab]

I dont really know much about imperial fists. Whats their relationship with the black templars? I often see imperial fists wearing templar insignias and i dont really understand why.

[celest dome]

Harlequin I'm hinging on them being an Flc à la Bretonnia, smaller race but separate from the others

[arctic talon]

Fists having Templar insignias is heresy only

Back then those were the Templar brethren

A specific group of veterans

[winged jacinth]

The templars are a second founding fists sucessor chapter yeah

[arctic talon]

In 40k they’re warm with each other

[celest dome]

Couldn't the Last Wall protocol have caused some IF to be from the Black Templars ?

[arctic talon]

The BT are seen as Allies

[winged jacinth]

Inherited that stuff

[hollow lantern]

Feast of Blades my favorite lore

[arctic talon]

And the BT symbols used by the fists in 40k are Fist symbols

That the BT are using

[winged jacinth]

They're both dorn chapters when it comes down to it

[arctic talon]

Yeah the IF hold a big tournament every once in a while where they invite all their successors to sword fight lol

In a big tournament

[tiny nova]

What should I do to customize Speshul Ace First Klass Teef Rippa's Dakka Jet? I am thinking more yellow

[crude sequoia]

I'm hyped, hopefully this is good

[arctic talon]

Yellow for more booms, black and checkerboards for it being tougher

[celest dome]

Yellow jet engine with red tips

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside checkerboard patterns on Ork planes are hella common

So I’d look at that

[celest dome]

||Grot pin-up||

[arctic talon]

Awful

Sentenced to death

By implement

[winged jacinth]

Have them misunderstand the shark mouth thing and just have a bunch of shark drawings

Alternately, improbable number of tallymarks

[wintry scarab]

So for example in this imp fist SM2 skin, you have a templar cross pattee thing on the shoulder shield. A bunch of other imp fist stuff have little templar icons. Is there any significance to this?

[wet sandal]

Black templars are successors

Of imperial fists

[arctic talon]

It indicates veteranship

The IF still use Templar brethren markings

[celest dome]

Or those bombs/planes symbol to mark how many enemies they've killed, but it's only some ridiculous targets

[winged jacinth]

600 seagulls

Hit a flock a few times

Rip space age love song

[wintry scarab]

So its just the same icon but has nothing to do with templars, right?

[winged jacinth]

I don't know what's so confusing here

The templars used to be part of the fists

There's icon overlap because of that

[arctic talon]

The Templars have something to do with the icon but not the other way around yes

It is an imperial fists icon the Templars took for themselves

[wintry scarab]

Thats what i wanted to know. Thx

[arctic talon]

When they formed their own chapter

No problem

[tiny nova]

This is what I've got so far

I like the idea of them not understanding how tally marks work

[celest dome]

Paint something on the windows

[near wasp]

Paint a red skull on the cock pit

[plush mason]

^

[tiny nova]

I think I've done one better

[near wasp]

Ok that's funny

[plush mason]

btw, are ork pilots and drivers sepcial kinds of boys or can just any boy jump in the driver set/cockpit and get going?

[tiny nova]

I like the idea that its painted on the outside of the cockpit

They are a special breed

Odd Boyz if you will

[surreal nest]

Darkwater retrieved

Losers!!!!

[near wasp]

I mean they probably will be part of the cult of speed

[celest dome]

Having targets on da windo help for aiming

[near wasp]

It does

[plush mason]

it checks out

[tiny nova]

Ize gotz youze in my sights plurals

[crude sequoia]

Is nurgle the only chaos god in this game?

[celest dome]

yes

atm

Hopefully will see more Chaos God factions 🙏

But might be GSC instead

[near wasp]

Maggie would love that

If the Devs have spent time toward tide vs tide combat 💀

[raven stone]

I think there is SOME truth beneath the whole bucketful of lies in the ep

At least we know Abstraction is probably the human mind going into overload in the uploaded state.

Given the...acid trip

[opaque coyote]

Also the fact that Jax had flashbacks to his old life, with the last picture being him driving

Makes you wonder

[daring creek]

@storm jungle Do guardsmen get bras and hygiene products

[storm jungle]

no lol

[frosty wind]

Depending on the rank and regiment I suppose

[storm jungle]

you get a basic ass military shower

[daring creek]

This really is grimdark

[storm jungle]

thats it
