“Don’t worry about it”

[near wasp]

I traded a necron some really old vases I found and he was so delighted to lend me his friend here for a thousand years

[jade holly]

Then I turned around and noticed my friend was missing

[near wasp]

He does that sometimes. Saved me from a cultist assassin once

Question: is the first genestealer hybrid, directly tied to the Kiss and the infected mating, of any note within a genestealer cult, or is it simply the first hybrid?

[near wasp]

@rose thorn ^

[outer wave]

Thank ya

[near wasp]

I legit just called in the expert

[outer wave]

Yeah I know shes a big GSC fan

[rose thorn]

Hi whatcha mean?

[outer wave]

Just didnt want to ping out lmao

[rose thorn]

like which hybrids

[outer wave]

Like, the first generation of hybrids made by the Kissed individual and a normal human: are they of any note within a cult or are they just simply the first Gen hybrids and thats it?

Because I know the initial baby makes that psychic link with the parents

But that baby doesnt lead the cult like the Patriarch

[rose thorn]

the individuals infected with the kiss usually just reproduce and protect acolyte hybrids and shiedl them, sometimes they play a role in the cult but usually they die of natural causes long before the cult begins to form

[outer wave]

And the hybrids are just there to help make the second Gen?

[rose thorn]

ye, they usually meet up and find the patriarch and make the very beginnings of the cult

[outer wave]

Thought they'd be more revered within their hierarchy so that's interesting

[rose thorn]

the like first 3 generations (including purestrains) mainly spread the cult genetically

after that the social aspects actually form

if the originally infected do join in the cult, they will do the social aspects

[rose thorn]

dotn forget the first second and sometiems even third gens still have the kiss

like the ability to deposit it

and people they infect create the next gen

[outer wave]

Oh never knew the succeeding generations could carry the ovipositor

[outer wave]

Dont they usually join?

What circumstances would make them not join?

[rose thorn]

depends ont eh speed of the cult

[near wasp]

People still die in like 30 years in the under hive and sewers

[rose thorn]

it takes generations so by the time the cult can actually be a social presence they are porbably dead

[rose thorn]

yeah lmao

[near wasp]

It's like worse than medieval times

[outer wave]

Ah right right

I forgot this won't take like

A couple decades but more like multiple decades if not centuries

[rose thorn]

thats why the cult figures leaving the planet before it is destroyed is so important, it speeds up teh whole process by like 20-30 years

[outer wave]

Cult figures being the Patriarch or individuals like the Magus and such?

[rose thorn]

magus and such

[outer wave]

Gotcha

[rose thorn]

the patriarch leaves sometiems? it depends on the cult

[outer wave]

If the Patriarch leaves, who takes over to keep the psychic linking up?

[rose thorn]

the tyranids eating the cultist lmao

[outer wave]

Ah fair lmao

[near wasp]

I thought an infected psyker would take the patriarchs place if they left/died

[rose thorn]

yee that too, usually done out of desperation and usually ends horribly

[near wasp]

(you know before the big chomp)

[rose thorn]

magus usualy go fucking insane and then die super painful daeths

the hivefleet it slef can take over the psychich linking though

liek brood lords

and i assume the synapse can too

[outer wave]

That makes sense

I wonder if it differs at all being under control of the hivefleet vs a broodlord vs the Patriarch

Anyway thank ya for answering my questions, Mags!

[daring creek]

All servitors go to heaven in 40k

[arctic talon]

Probably not

Lol

[celest dome]

Haha, no 🚬

[daring creek]

:(

[near wasp]

I'd imagine being under the patriarch would be better because at least it might care for the cult members purely out of its own survival but a brood Lord would only treat the genestealers as what they are cannon fodder

[outer wave]

Id feel thats about right

[arctic talon]

Patriarch is prolly better

[dapper gyro]

There was a book about the gsc fought back against the tyranid. Somehow, the patriarch was strong enough to resist the takeover.

Nevertheless, the sheer number of tyranids overrun them.

I forget which book...

[outer wave]

How heroic.....

I haven't finished it but God damn door is super traumatized

[storm jungle]

Considering hes a middle-eastern vet it makes sense

now add hunting the supernatural ontop of that, even worse

[near wasp]

Yeah also it appears he was at least trained an briefed by an actual org because he uses terms like blank body instead of vampire

The rest of the family uses vampire but he only uses blank body

That could be part of him dehumanizing the supernatural but it feels intentional

Ik ik

https://tenor.com/view/tin-foil-hat-jabrils-foil-hat-put-on-a-hat-wearing-a-hat-gif-18223681

[storm jungle]

Nah its intentional

theres like A LOT of small quirks/hints that pay off or are explained in future episodes.

Its why its nuts to me that when i was rewatching the series i saw they mention shit like the Arcanum all the way back in EP1 or the quirks of the family that get explained in way later episodes etc.

[near wasp]

Yes dude

I need to watch everything. There's a few episodes I haven't watched or rewatched

Like Ive not been able to bring myself to watch the boy episode or the game review one

And I need to rewatch the blender crusade

[storm jungle]

Game review one is complete filler im 100% sure

BUT the Boy episode is actually essential, especially for this new episode

It starts off as a "haha funny fanfic tropes" before it takes some seriously dark turns into Boy as a character

[arctic talon]

Bro is a fucking fed

[near wasp]

Also sidenote

[arctic talon]

Do you think he ran into the supernatural in the Middle East

And that’s why

Beyond just war trauma

[near wasp]

My core rulebook got here yesterday

[near wasp]

I mean if he was in the middle east and he ran into vamps he might of ran into banu haquim

[arctic talon]

Hope you have fun

[near wasp]

Yeahhh I got dragged into running a short campaign for my buddy and his wife

[languid meadow]

you forgot he was also a ||fast food employee||

[near wasp]

Ok ok good to know because the beginning made me cringe with the past that I used to be like that

[storm jungle]

Lmao you should read the comments

literally everyone is like "Wow I was just like this"

[near wasp]

Fuckkkkkk

[storm jungle]

YEP

[near wasp]

At least I'm not alone if

[storm jungle]

the entire episode is a lighthearted take on that subject, its very fun

down to all the characters being "that guy"

• Kitten is the one that constantly criticizes the grammer/spelling
• Markus constantly gets caught up on needless or weird details but provides proper feedback
• D is the guy who just goes along with everything in the story and provides zero helpful criticism while being a hype man

etc etc lmao

[near wasp]

I might kill kitten

[vagrant fox]

haha couldn't be me i was never like that

[near wasp]

Bro people still do that to me all the time

[storm jungle]

Lmaooo yaeh its why the other bus crew is like

"Dude, nobody cares."

I can only assume that y'all have, but did y'all see the Epstein files were finally """"""""released""""""""

[vagrant fox]

Nothing but completely censored pages innit

[young pecan]

Ya

It was one line of text hadron stfu

Yeah just black bars all over the screen, "palm beach", more black bars

[storm jungle]

Yeah literally same as last time

lol

idk why people expected anything else

if those were properly released it would probably ruin about 80% of the political parties/members

[vagrant fox]

But that's what I want

[storm jungle]

Same but alas

[vagrant fox]

At least Jojo Steel Ball Run was just announced
Can't wait for the best Jojo

[young pecan]

My money was on Trump getting the files heavily edited with Ghislaine in return for a pardon, considering that was absolutely what seemed like would happen

Not just a 1:1 of your average SCP file trying too hard to be mysterious

[vagrant fox]

Yeah now you mention it very reminiscent of The Peanut [REDACTED] shits everywhere and [REDACTED]

[languid meadow]

I'm gonna rip you in half for calling it that

[vagrant fox]

I'm just the messenger

and no one told me oculus imperia uploaded a video as well I should kill

[crisp heath]

Yup that's the truth

[crystal forum]

they wouldn't even pass as a 2008 SCP article with all that censoring

speaking of which SCP is at like 10k now

wild

i should write that SCP that i've been procrastinating on for like 7 years

[young pecan]

TRUE

I mean I looked at the "new SCPs" tab and it was horrific utter dogshit

"my scp izzz a gun dat acktchully deletes matter that you point it at"
how compelling

[crystal forum]

oh yeah i have assumed that the quality has just gone down over time

[jade holly]

I’ll make an SCP that exists solely to ragebait you by changing its face to different things when you look away

[languid meadow]

check out classic con SCPs

[lament shoal]

[dapper gyro]

SCP is open to everyone, so the quality and attention dilute the more people add to it.

[celest cedar]

SCP 5K is a fav

[opaque coyote]

My standards were low

I honestly expected them to

Not release

Or even just to

Redact it so that it's obviously Trump, but there's enough unknowns to deny it if you're delulu

But literally dipping it in black paint

Like there's 119 pages of photos

THEY'RE ALL BLACK

THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THROWN IT IN A BUCKET OF BLACK PAINT

[opaque coyote]

SCP 5000 is interesting. Although the main theory about Empathy being the main problem is actually false

An addon story by the creator had it so that a previous iteration of humanity had no empathy.

Of course, it almost destroyed itself

No empathy means a lack of capacity to work together

And humanity was almost destroyed

The SCP foundation decided to go to SCP-2000 with a human with a unique mutation.

That being empathy

And they became the new template basically

So it isn't Empathy that's wrong. It's just that removing the "entity" basically removes empathy as a side effect

It's like having a tumor connected to a vital organ.

That organ is important but there's also a fucking tumor attached to it

[opaque coyote]

Also, there is two possibilities

Either there are so many mentions of Trump that they legitimately cannot remove mentions without just completely blacking out everything

Or they are so incompetent that they didn't even try to redact things in a smart way

It could be both honestly

[celest cedar]

oooh

[celest cedar]

i mean is it really that people would just be consciously aware that theyre dead because of the entity thats inside humanity as a whole?

[near wasp]

I expected this to happen with the files. We won't get anything real from them for 40 years, long after most the old ass people in the government are dead. There's too many people potentially on the list and the American people are too stupid to just vote for completely new repsentives

After more politicians leave office or croak we might get something of substance

[young pecan]

Voter competence might matter if elections weren't rigged anyway LOL

People do need to get more into smaller-scale politics though

[near wasp]

I agree

The federal government have far too much power and if people actually learned about what there local legislation votes are things might actually improve

[opaque coyote]

There's also the fact that definitely other politicians and affluent members of other countries are on there

Prince Andrew as a well known example

...I guess Qanon was onto something. They just directed it wrong funnily enough.

There's also the unknown that Epstein also held regular parties along with his...

Yeah.

There could be the chance, although very, VERY, VERY small, that somebody was there just for the regular ones while genuinely ignorant of what he actually does. And was basically only there to network with rich people.

Of course this is a copium hypothetical at best

But that's a genuine consideration

Although very small

[opaque coyote]

As far as we know, SCP 2718 aka "Oh God I can feel myself rotting while I'm dead" isn't connected to 5000.

And also, if that's the case, then why would the SCP foundation kill people? That would still feed the entity suffering.

So it's likely unrelated because their goal was to weaken the entity.

Still though, if you really like the idea, go for it. Every SCP article and tale might as well be a different canon unless specified otherwise

its honestly sad to watch

[queen laurel]

People really think that once a setting is made that they can just treat it whatever the hell they want and whatever the hell authors do is not canon depending if they don't like it or not

[surreal nest]

I WAS ABOUT TO ASK IF ANYBODY HAS HEARD OF THAT GUY

The space marine vtuber?

[queen laurel]

Like if the author said something I don't like I can't do anything about it it's Canon sure I don't like it but I will still admit it's cannon because it is

Genuinely these guys suck

[surreal nest]

I read this and I was genuinely giggling

[storm jungle]

this isnt even embarrassing

its just sad

imagine being this boringly hateful

She literally appears for 1 fucking page btw

[surreal nest]

"Ive been told by a reliable source"

In other words, you cant read and asked your friend to summarize the book

at least Erebus did it for the love of the game and he was good at it

[storm jungle]

Erebus isnt a chud hes just a hater

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's why he's so fun

BE QUIET

[storm jungle]

Reminder that he "quit" the fandom 3 times

[queen laurel]

Unfortunately people like them are genuinely some of the loudest

[storm jungle]

and came crawling back

definition of a fucking worm

lol

[surreal nest]

Quit the fandom like he quit day drinking in front of his kids

[queen laurel]

does he have a defense if you just like pointed it out that you said he was gonna quit the fandom multiple times but he's still here caring about it

[storm jungle]

no lol

[queen laurel]

wow that is actually pathetic

[storm jungle]

he literally came back from Trench Crusade and Battletech the moment he realised it has queer fans and he got instantly ousted

[surreal nest]

He definitely seems the type to plug his ears and just say you are strawmanning

[storm jungle]

ironically being a thing he accuses people of constantly, aka a tourist

he also tweets SO MUCH in a single day, its genuinely sad

definition of a no-life

[queen laurel]

Look I'm just saying if aliens come here and interrogate me about my species I am immediately pointing his account to show to us that while humans can be kind they can also be absolutely dumb

So is this like a win win?

[dapper gyro]

I guess?

[abstract vector]

The real shocking part is that I never knew Goonhammer starts reviewing gacha games

They reviewed Uma Umusume and how to build your horsegirl

[vagrant fox]

You can if it's a Kyme one

[fervent geode]

Yk what, imo if its by Wraight its usually fine

Abnett and Mitchell too

so that's the reverse

[abstract vector]

TBF for Abnett, Problem is that his Editor didnt put a limit on him. He even admits himself the editor told him he can do whatever, but was shocked Editor cant do a good job after telling him he can do whatever he wants

[fervent geode]

Yeah youre right

[vagrant fox]

fuckin kyme, kill him

[fervent geode]

He goes little overboard sometimes

[fervent geode]

C'mon he's just bland

[vagrant fox]

he's also the editor

[abstract vector]

NGL Maybe we got Unlucky the Editor is new and not the ones who handle gaunts ghost or einsenhorn. So he is unfamilliar with how he writes

[fervent geode]

Oh yeah

[abstract vector]

I remember he has another guy who did siege of terra (Editor)

but I didnt know he edits himself

[vagrant fox]

Goulding or something for that? I don't know I'm just hating

I don't like all of ADBs ideas but he usually writes well at least

[near wasp]

Preform a seance and ask the spirits or something idk

[storm jungle]

I got a better solution dont worry

[near wasp]

.....

Do I even dare ask

[fervent geode]

Yeap makes sense

[wary fulcrum]

how’d you think Black Library okayed his books?

[storm jungle]

^

Kyme gets away with so much shit due to being the Head Editor

[fervent geode]

That's why he has a salamander monopoly

[wary fulcrum]

He’s a good writer with a touch too much overlap for other historical fiction writers for me

[near wasp]

So what your saying is we need to get torches and pitchforks and run kyme outa town

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpson-people-power-gif-8939538

[wary fulcrum]

Just need him to pump the brakes on the Salamander love

Drakir is stronger than Magnus apparently

And Vulkan Lives

That ending is clearly a figment of Vulkan’s imagination

[storm jungle]

This fandom rarely ever agrees on anything but Kyme's salamander novels being awful is one of the convergence points lol

almost every Sally fan ive met is like "Nah just read Sallies in other books, never touch Kyme"

[wary fulcrum]

I think Abnett didn’t like VL, hence why Vulkan gets so brutalised in Unremembered Empire

[rustic patrol]

I seriously wonder whether he thinks he did a good job, or he secretly knows he fumbled it.

[storm jungle]

He definitely thinks the opposite

people in positions like that can never accept their work sucks lol

[near wasp]

Every time somebody tells me there favorite legion is salamander I make this face

me when they say Vulkan is nicest Primarch

[near wasp]

I always bring up the burning child

It's tradition

[rustic patrol]

like, that's not even the worst part about that scene

it's bad, but there's a lot more context that makes it worse

[near wasp]

Well yeah but any more context would require me to actually read a horus heresy book

[storm jungle]

BL authors avoiding making the Sallies do any atrocities is so funny

[rustic patrol]

why read when we can just rely on fanon and memes for lore lol

[fervent geode]

Allegedly there are Kyme Bearers who apparently venerate his stuff but idk its like some legendary myth

[near wasp]

I read

Just not the heresy

I have standards

[fervent geode]

There's some good stories in there I just really don't care about the majority of it

Feels bungled and messed up

[near wasp]

Bro I am not gonna read a series that requires a whole spread sheet to follow

[abstract vector]

IIRC his books back then listed Editors

not sure about reprints

[fervent geode]

Tbh i just read the shiz about the faction i like

[rustic patrol]

not asking you to, I just need you to read Vulkan Lives or Promethean Sun so I have someone to share the pain with

[near wasp]

Dawn of fire almost had me running into the woods screaming like a lunatic

[vagrant fox]

I ended up reading I think 14 in total, just the stuff I cared about

[abstract vector]

Again first time I heard he is the editor himself

[near wasp]

Oh so that's what this is about making me suffer like you

[fervent geode]

So, First 5 HH books -> WB stuff -> SoD, PoD, MoM, SoT series, yep that was all

[rustic patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-homer-bart-lisa-join-us-gif-13066208

I just needed to know Angron was an idiot

[fervent geode]

He is

The beeg idiot

Thanks, Betrayer

[rustic patrol]

I keep on forgetting which one that was. Is that the one where Kharn has to go search for him because he went AWOL for 2 years and they found him in a cave?

[fervent geode]

No idts

[vagrant fox]

Slave of Nuceria I think it's called

[wary fulcrum]

To be fair, I don’t hate everything in them, there’s a couple of cool things, but thet’re just buried in shite

Guy turns into a psychic dragon? What’s his name?

Dragon.

Guy is a scheming fuck who betrays people?

Iago.

If you’re going to do symbolic Warhammer names. Be camp as fuck. Traitor Guy? Brutus Tr-8r.

Also it’s basically just Beowulf which really annoys me.

[fervent geode]

I haven't read most his stuff tbh, just a little so ik its bland, this makes a lot of sense

He clearly loves the salamanders but is an editor not a writer

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah, and writers who love a chapter shouldn’t be allowed near them

See, Gav Thorpe and DA

[rustic patrol]

or Matt Ward and the Ultramarines

[celest dome]

Not the same situation

Not at all

[wary fulcrum]

Ah to be fair to him, he was lead writer working on the prompts given to him by GW

[celest dome]

[near wasp]

The misinformation continues I see

[celest dome]

Ward/UM situation is purely due to GW's management switching stuff out at the last moment ||classic I know||.

Not sure which way it went, but basically Ward wrote a Codex for Ultramarine, and GW decided on putting it as Space Marine instead.
Or the other way

[vagrant fox]

That was like 18 years ago

[storm jungle]

^

Anyway who hates Ward today is a red flag for me

[near wasp]

Matt Ward isn't terrible after all he gave us trayzen

[storm jungle]

Hes a good writer

people were shocked to learn he helped writing all the Tide games lol

[wary fulcrum]

I think GW named swapped. They wanted a standardised policy for the minis at the time, so stuff like 90% of guard looking like Cadians

[vagrant fox]

Like yeah that codex was beans but it's not like he kept up that quality

[wary fulcrum]

Also, the Grey Knightx and sisters thing is ridiculous, silly, and overly edgy.

Saying that as a bad thing is like saying Tom and Jerry isn’t realistic

Like, yes. Yes that’s the point.

[storm jungle]

It was also at a time where sisters were treated extremely like shit lol

it took like 2 decades to get a refresh

[copper patrol]

isn't it also enitrely not canon anymore

[vagrant fox]

It was retconned a bit wasn't it

[near wasp]

Sisters are still treated like shit just now it's the sisters of silence

[storm jungle]

Its retconned

now the GK use the blood of the arleady slain sisters

[copper patrol]

really it was the whole using blood against minions of the blood god thats wierd

[storm jungle]

Its really not weird

a lot of things in 40k carry power

holy things especially

[vagrant fox]

It's warhams it's fine

[storm jungle]

its more the execution (badum tsss) that was bad

[wary fulcrum]

I think, and this is pure tinfoil btw, that there was a debate about dropping the line to being just back ground

I know for Necromunda the writers are given the choice e of 3 options they want to write, and it’s possible that one or two of the options have been offered for the last dozen books, I think outside of SM and SC there’s also a similar process for the main lines

[wary fulcrum]

Sanctified blood tbf

Daemons are allergic to silver, holy stuff, particularly cursive (hexagramic) writing

[storm jungle]

Very likely considering how you could use sisters in different game formats at the time ala Dark Heresy etc.

GW also had a very sexist/uncaring studio air at that time lol

there was a guy who for example just denied female necrons ever existing for some reason

[copper patrol]

what year was this, I am fairly late to the party of GW doing that kind of silly stuff

[storm jungle]

mid 2000's

[rustic patrol]

that late?

[storm jungle]

back when GW couldnt even do diverse miniatures or have prominent female characters anywhere

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah

It was within the last decade a senior staffer was quietly removed after a few comments at a weekender went down badly

[storm jungle]

^

[vagrant fox]

back in my day it was hwite men only

[wary fulcrum]

I say went down badly, they were sexist as fuck

[storm jungle]

Yeah it was bad lmao

their previous CEO also got ousted for being useless too

[vagrant fox]

There used to be someone on 4chan pretending to be working in GW and now I'm wondering if it's true

[storm jungle]

people forget 40k went under like 3-4 times

[storm jungle]

Likely.

Remember when some 4chan guy posted hte 9th edition "leaks" including the Squats and no one believed him?

then that entire list of updates/ranges of like 12 subjects all happened lmao

[vagrant fox]

There's that, I distinctly remember a post where as long as he was on the board there would never, ever women added to some factions

something like that

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats basically completely changed now

[copper patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/wide-cat-wider-gif-3879805434184283975

[vagrant fox]

I called him a larper I remember that too

[storm jungle]

only space marines got no chicks in em

Otherwise nowadays every single 40k/AOS/WHF range has female and male heads

its literally just Sisters and Marines that are mono-sex.

[wary fulcrum]

Sisters also aren’t a mono-sex faction on the table top

[storm jungle]

yeah they got priests too

[celest dome]

||Tyranids||

[storm jungle]

not humanoid, shut up

[copper patrol]

that mono-sex being, none

[wary fulcrum]

You can take a mono-sex army like, but you have the options not to

If they added a serf squad unit to marines with females it’s also do the same to them tbf

[vagrant fox]

idk I saw that one wearing stockings

[wary fulcrum]

…where?

For um. Science.

is that Solomon Lok over there?

[near wasp]

Honestly I'm fine with Marines and sisters being mono. I just wish the silent sisterhood got more models

Please gw I'm literally begging you

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-crying-begging-gif-7317897

[storm jungle]

Nobody cares about SoS

[near wasp]

You tell me this every time

[storm jungle]

Its the truth lmao

[fervent geode]

Aleya in shambles rn

[storm jungle]

they got sidelined for a reason

[wary fulcrum]

But again, sisters aren’t

Also, Sisters of Silence aren’t, they’re part of the same faction as Custodes

I know I’m being facetious and I do apologise, but this is literally how GW see it, and will dismiss comments based on that

[storm jungle]

Sisters of Silence are very funny too

theres literally ZERO reason for them not having guys

its just the Emperor being a redditor

[copper patrol]

considering how rare powerful blanks are

yeah

[wary fulcrum]

I like to think it’s a Kim Jong reference

[storm jungle]

Nah it 100% is

a lot of dictators had all-female personal guards

[wary fulcrum]

Apparently his bodyguards were all women?

[storm jungle]

Yeah Gadafi too

[wary fulcrum]

That’s the one

[vagrant fox]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-touch-monkey-playing-balls-monkey-horny-gif-23041997

[celest dome]

I remember in old lore people thought that all powerful Male Blanks would just be sent to the Officio, but there are also Female Blanks sent there too 💀

[vagrant fox]

secret

[copper patrol]

I am fairly sure it is still true

[near wasp]

Listen man I'll keep asking until the day I die

I know they will never give it to me

[wary fulcrum]

I do wonder what happens to the male blanks, I was kind of side eying the Culexus theory

Is it like, all males go to the Temple and 90% of females go to the Sidtwrbood or something?

[fervent geode]

Probably, no confirmation iirc

[copper patrol]

mfs making interesting art of female culexus assassins forgeting that they literally make you want to kill yourself by being in the same room

[wary fulcrum]

They’re so rizzless

[celest dome]

We have a named Culexus woman assassin

[wary fulcrum]

Unless they’re Bequin, who is apparently rizzless and an absolute smokeshow

[rocky gale]

The God Emperor in Dune had all female soldiers/guards because men were too aggressive and cruel

[near wasp]

They keep the males locked up in a brick wall and harvest there genetic material to make more blanks.

[wary fulcrum]

Eisenhorn gets very conflicted

[wary fulcrum]

🤮

[near wasp]

Lol

[wary fulcrum]

Don’t pretend you all didn’t think it too

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-jt-zapp-snu-snu-snu-gif-762795763912631449

[abstract vector]

Male Blanks probably used for the Inquisitor Martyr plot line

[near wasp]

I was more thinking less physical more birth vats

[wary fulcrum]

Tbh I went more to cow milking

[near wasp]

Because getting your warriors pregnant means they can't fight as well and risks Future warriors

[near wasp]

That is what I implied

[wary fulcrum]

But I’ll never pass up a chance at posting Zapp Brannigan

[abstract vector]

Because its confirmed in-game ||They had to pull alot of blanks into a special population where they wanted an army of blanks so they poured in so many blanks that side information confirmed even Terran blanks are taken||

[wary fulcrum]

Oh that’s a point

Spoilers for Bequin

||the King in Yellow||

[abstract vector]

Funniest part is that It worked

Like the Inquisitor who gambled it was right that its a good idea to make a Blanks settle down

[copper patrol]

being a blank is tied to a gene right?

[near wasp]

Yep

[abstract vector]

Yup

[near wasp]

Just like being a psyker

[abstract vector]

Mad Man was like

Hey how about we make blank army
🤔

But Word Bearers said
N O

[wary fulcrum]

Sort of

Being a psyker is tied to a gene too

[abstract vector]

[wary fulcrum]

Hence the difference between psykers and sorcerers

(Also, wyrds but I think GW dropped that distinction)

[celest dome]

Psyker are a mutation that can happen to people that have had no Psyker in their anscestors

Wyrds are and always were just Unsanctioned Psykers

[copper patrol]

is it a mutation that can be passed down, I don't remember reading one way or the other

most psykers don't get to have kids so

[dapper gyro]

Blank can be a mutation as well. Though those selected by to be Sisters of silence have to have some more special gene sauce.

[celest dome]

Not really known

[abstract vector]

IS THIS A COD REFERENCE???!!!!

I can feel the warzone

[near wasp]

I'm getting the flamer

[celest dome]

There's also Pariah, which are implied to just be mutations caused by the Necron iirc

[near wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/stranger-things-fire-flame-gif-14920648

[copper patrol]

holding the knife under a bolter like that is hilarious

[dapper gyro]

The abs armour looks like AI generated somehow... I dont know, it is just my opinion.

[celest dome]

Make some sense when you realise that Bolter have a minimum 'range

[abstract vector]

You dont understand Captain Acheran, its the duty of the call - Titus

[wary fulcrum]

Sort of, I’ll have to double check but I’m sure Inquisitor book had them as almost a separate thing, wyrds have an innate but limited link, whereas psykers have a link they have to work at but can be broader

Sorcerers have no link but force/forge one through rituals and whatnot

[near wasp]

I'm gonna fight you

[copper patrol]

it is off to a wierd angle, idk about ai generated though

[dapper gyro]

The bolter has bayonet lug, but the SM are too cool to use it.

[celest dome]

Wyrd are untaught, they have the same link to the Warp, just doing stuff how they have trialed and errored themselves in

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah there was blanks and pariahs for a while, one was no presence in the warp and one was an absence of presence in the warp

I can’t remember if that was ever a true distinction that got merged though

[wary fulcrum]

Again, I’ll check the Inquistor book for how they defined it

Essentially a wyrd ability was rolled on a willpower of 95, whereas a psyker used their regular willpower

[dapper gyro]

You have to be Pariah and blank to be selected for SoS. Otherwise, these are 2 different things.

Something something, gene purity....

[wary fulcrum]

Goes to explain why the Inquisition as a whole wasn’t completely pissed with Eisenhorn’s Distaff

If they were just blanks whilst Sisters are both, then he’s not dipping into the other recruitment pool

[near wasp]

I didn't know there was a difference

First I'm hearing about this

[wary fulcrum]

There might not be anymore, we don’t get a hugely indepth look behind the scenes these days

[dapper gyro]

It is just an excuse to exclude people...

Imperium and racism strike again.

[wary fulcrum]

It’s so bad it even lets daemons exclude them!

(I think it’s nemesis where a daemon finds the Culexus by looking for the hole in their warp sight)

[copper patrol]

what kind of daemon was hanging that close to a Culexus

[near wasp]

A dumb one

[wary fulcrum]

It was the Traitor Legions answer to the assassin temples

A daemonic officio if you will

I actually really like the
Mini and keep intending to get it but a lot of people don’t

The Cults Abominatio are a dark mirror of the Divisio Assassinorum, aiding the Traitor cause with inhuman operatives created through a fusion of long-forbidden techniques, heretek augmentation, and compacts with corrupting otherworldly powers. The Infernus Abomination is one such creature – a terrifying, shapeshifting killer fuelled by the pain and suffering of its victims. Fragmentary reports from near-insane survivors speak of the Infernus as a shapeless apparition haunting the battlefield, its anatomy dissolving and reforming into new and nightmarish aspects designed specifically for each

[celest dome]

But were the Psyker not exclusively Sanctioned ones

[near wasp]

That's pretty cool

[wary fulcrum]

I can’t remember tbh, I’m going to have to dig it out and check

I know Von Castellan had wyrd :detection, but I don’t know if that was just used a mechanic to show his ‘6th sense for danger’ or something

It’s also never mentioned in the Covenant books

[copper patrol]

here is the horribly evil shapeshifting daemonic assassin, for ages 15 and up

FW model?

FW or GW release

[wary fulcrum]

It was FW at the time

[abstract vector]

ah

[rocky gale]

They don't market the distinction between FW and GW releases anymore, it's just regular kits and Expert kits

and the expert kits are made with FW Resin and 15+

[abstract vector]

RIP FW

Shame not everyone is made to order. Because older models cant be resold

💀

[rocky gale]

Shame FW resin is doodoo

[shadow plover]

Nah the material is pretty good tbh, the older moulds are just pretty bad

[rocky gale]

It's doodoo

[shadow plover]

it's no good plastic but there are a lot of worse options out there

for a resin it's very good and the extra detail it allows for is crisp

Lol

[wary fulcrum]

I built the Chronos Iron Crawler

Everything was slightly out, but because it was everything I wasn’t sure how to fix it, like which part was the baseline that was right

Out it off for over a year because I couldn’t be arsed

I swear down it only took me 30 minutes to fix and I’ve spent longer feeling an idiot for putting it off so long

With FW, the newer the kit the better

Older kits are open to issues

[near wasp]

Hey guys is black library down for anybody else

[rocky gale]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Same

[near wasp]

Dammit

[fervent geode]

Yep

[near wasp]

I was gonna go look at the new releases to see if any new books worth reading came out

[rocky gale]

Oh don't think anything new got released today anyway

[near wasp]

Not today but over the last month probably

I just need a new book xD

Either that or I continue vaults of terra

[fervent geode]

New WB book next year

[near wasp]

That's not gonna help me today you chaos sympathizer

[storm jungle]

this was the new releases i could get on Page 1 before the site blew up

continue Vaults of Terra loser

[near wasp]

[storm jungle]

🫡

[fervent geode]

Well there will be a new krieg book too

Hope that helps

[near wasp]

What's that

[fervent geode]

Read Vagabond Squadron

[vagrant fox]

read 15 hours and nothing else

[rocky gale]

Novel about Commissar Severine Raine

Read the short story first though

It's called Execution

[near wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[rocky gale]

She's not like Gaunt or Caine who are Commissars who are different from other Commissars, she's a Commissar who acts like a Commissar

and does it well

[fervent geode]

Oh Emperor

This will be interesting

[near wasp]

I'll ad it to my list

[rocky gale]

Honourbound literally starts with her executing a soldier that survived an ambush because his ammo was full

[abstract vector]

NGL i thought she gets a bodyguard unit too

[near wasp]

Correct move tbh

[abstract vector]

When I first saw her as a BL reveal I thought they include 2 models

[rocky gale]

The Scion behind her is Adren Fel of the Duskhounds

[abstract vector]

Raine and the Stormtrooper in the cover

[fervent geode]

Amazing

Ill look into it

[abstract vector]

I wished its both models because the Stormtrooper helmet looked cool

[rocky gale]

Just remember to read Execution first because it was released beforehand and serves as the introduction to the character and regiment

[abstract vector]

short story?

[rocky gale]

Yea

[fervent geode]

Aight, ill keep it in mind

[storm jungle]

the regiment is just Gaunt's Ghosts from Wish too

[rocky gale]

Nuh uh

They're cooler

Because their homeworld didn't blow up

If Chaos attacked Antar, they would simply win

Tanith could never

[storm jungle]

[rocky gale]

Also Tanith are Scottish, Antari are more Irish

[near wasp]

Lol

[abstract vector]

Antar has a home

[fervent geode]

Better than the Tanith?

Hm we will see i suppose

[rocky gale]

Yea they're an actual regiment instead of a bunch of hobos

Got their own armoured companies and air support, don't got to rely on other regiments to pick up the slack

[storm jungle]

god can Abnett finish Gaunt already, i want the Tanith to blow up

A lot of hate for a Veigar pro I see

Would something like the Penal treadmill fit into the 40k themes and aesthetics?

[wary fulcrum]

Yes

Victorian vibes? Fits

Cromwellian vibes? Also fits

[hollow lantern]

Now hook it up to some insane space age technology and say the only way to power it is the have people doing that

[rocky gale]

and because it's 40k, the wheel they're forced to walk on is used to grind up bodies for corpse starch

And? Not like your gonna

[daring creek]

I mean I eat babies as well but when you eat babies its worse because you're evil and I'm not

[vagrant fox]

Peaceful alien after one meeting with Super Earth wovs to exterminate everything

[arctic talon]

The cyborgs were the only faction at war with Super earth

Due to being rebels

But super earth was leaving them alone mostly till they did a false flag

[near wasp]

They just wanted to be free

[arctic talon]

To have a proper Cassius beli

The squids were literally a peaceful republic lol

Who shared technology with super earth

Now granted the squids def were not great to their own people

But also like super earth literally tried to commit genocide against them

💀

[daring creek]

Maybe they did something we don't know about

[arctic talon]

And then the bugs were just

Existing

[daring creek]

[arctic talon]

On their own planets lol

[celest dome]

It's the same thing as the Imperium.
Most of the problems are self induced

[arctic talon]

And then super earth found out they were made of oil

The bugs are sentient and sapient btw lol

[daring creek]

Oh.

[arctic talon]

They’re not animals

[daring creek]

Oh.

[arctic talon]

In helldivers 2 they might have regressed

Mentally due to literally being genetically modified and mutilated

For a century

So who knows

[daring creek]

Wow that's just awful

Bit it's for the greater good I guess!

[arctic talon]

The cyborgs were rebel freedom fighters

And the illuminate just existed

lol

[daring creek]

Mhm

[vagrant fox]

The price of sweet, sweet oil E710 can never be too high

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/Qiu7uVHyDPY?si=qJdIOW7CCV-Vt7Fj

[arctic talon]

Now the illuminate want to kill all of humanity

Which honestly

Don’t really blame them

[daring creek]

I love drinking corn oil

[arctic talon]

The automatons are doing something for the cyborgs

[vagrant fox]

I think they had it coming for those dickass lightwalls they made in HD1

[arctic talon]

No clue on if the cyborgs war for independence plan is real

[arctic talon]

True…..

And the bugs might actually just be animals now

Though they’re slowly looking more and more like the HD1 bugs

The rupture strain rather

They got the same smooth crab like features developing again

[median star]

a sin that will not be made again

[vagrant fox]

It'll be interesting to see how the bugs develop, more good things to come I'm sure

and maybe one day the squids will have a fuller roster

[daring creek]

Are they like a hive mind

[arctic talon]

They were not in HD1

They’re like irl social insects

But smarter

[opaque coyote]

The automatons are probably the... least uhh

violent?

[arctic talon]

To the point of sapiance

[arctic talon]

Probably

The cyborgs would take POWs in HD1

lol

[opaque coyote]

Although it's a mystery on what exactly is going on with the automatons

They seemingly want to fight back against super earth and to reclaim their home

Cyberstan

[arctic talon]

Well they retook it

They want to destroy super earths government probably

The automatons goals are pretty clear

[opaque coyote]

Also I think that the automatons have brains inside of them?

[arctic talon]

They don’t

Automatons are all artificial

[opaque coyote]

IDK I never played HD2, but I am planning to rebuy it now

[arctic talon]

No organic components

They’re also sentient and sapient

lol

They have components that look organic

But they’re not

[opaque coyote]

It's funny to think that the automatons might unironically be the closest to freedom fighters

[arctic talon]

They do use biofuel

If you count that

[arctic talon]

They literally are

They are freedom fighters

[vagrant fox]

The automatons seem pretty violent, bits of helldivers on spikes and all that

[opaque coyote]

If only they didn't look fucking horrifying

[arctic talon]

Also yeah they’re pretty violent

[vagrant fox]

But they have their reasons ig

[arctic talon]

The automatons are def way less kind then the cyborgs

lol

[opaque coyote]

Seriously like... Super Earth probably doesn't even need to TRY to make propaganda against them. They can literally just use a picture of them

I honestly think they're the fucking creepiest faction

[near wasp]

French behavior

[opaque coyote]

Which is deeply ironic given they're probably the least... awful?

[opaque coyote]

reminds me of Vietcong

Since like a lot of their traps and stuff are fucking gruesome

They have the same brutality

Most likely for said intimidation

Although I don't think they fucking need it since seriously

LOOK AT THEM

[vagrant fox]

they're good eggs

lets play as automatons

[lament sorrel]

noticed this goof on one of the cosmetics lol

[arctic talon]

Adeptus munitorum is allowed as well

Both terms are used

[storm jungle]

Lmao gottem
