You know what moment lives rent free in my head? In sons of the hydra where it’s revealed that the menial crew aboard a word bearer flagship’s bridge are all possessed as well.

Then I imagine Slaanesh daemons and nurgle daemons doing really mundane things like operating comms, monitoring various systems, etc.

[lament shoal]

Maybe its like the iron warriors in which they're summoned to be pressed into servitude, only with living hosts instead of weapons lol

[abstract vector]

Wolfah?!

I cant believe ending leaked

[dapper gyro]

That ending sounds too good...

Need more grimdarkness.

[signal bramble]

A Slaaneshi daemon delicately tuning auspex returns for optimal signal clarity. A Plaguebearer patiently logging reactor efficiency and corrosion rates. A warp-entity cross-referencing munitorum inventories. Something born of excess, entropy, or rage… filing reports.

Etc.

It’s all so… banal? Seems like a lot of work for something so trivial.

[daring creek]

pls show me in dms

Also question

have there ever been space marines corrupted by xenos

It would be very funny if there was a heretical furry space marine faction

[signal bramble]

Define “corrupted.”

[daring creek]

[signal bramble]

I think it’s in the great work? But there’s a few surviving marines who wear psychic suppressors to resist the control of a genestealer patriarch. But I can’t recall if they were actually tainted or not.

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's the thing like if his rival dies he's going to be pissed but he's just going to look for another one

[lament shoal]

How many worlds have fallen to the tyranids due to genestealer cults? So far

[queen laurel]

He isn't going to be stuck on one of them

[signal bramble]

I don’t think they’ve given us hard numbers.

[jade holly]

I wanna get into army building already so I can start to kitbash and model

I wanna make a Deathmark that wears a hood and a cloak

I mean given they’re called Deathmarks

It’s a given

lol

[valid needle]

Yes

Scythes of the emperor were infested by a GSC

[daring creek]

Lul kewl

[valid needle]

They eventually beat it but apparently it’s left in their minds and they constantly fight against the brainwashing

[daring creek]

aw

Yeah they seek vengeance against the tyranids for it as well.

Certainly it has not ruined their geneseed no?

Unless it goes that deep

Also I was hoping for moreso current traitor Xeno Marines but oh well.

I just think it'd be fucking Hilarious to have furry space marines.

Now that I think about it, Ordos Furros would probably fall under Ordo Xenos

Like a whole ass ordos because theyre that much of a threat to the Imperium lmfao

viziepop isn't a furry

[daring creek]

Have you seen the animations she's made, I can't find her fursona but looking at her work

you can very clearly tell.

I'm referring to her work outside of Hazbin btw

Like zoophobia

[vital ginkgo]

If the Emperor had helped angron and his gladiators on nuceria would he still have turned traitor because of the butcher's nails?

Was it the butcher's nails or the situation on nuceria that fueled his betrayal most?

[dapper gyro]

With the butcher nail still on, his gladiators friends might turn into chaos with him as well.

[vagrant fox]

He was broken from the start and would see the Emperor as another slaver probably

then again, Corax was a hypocrite in that way

[storm jungle]

^

Angron was always a freedom fighter and the emperor was a tyrant

he would always turn on him eventually

as Sigsen said Corax whos also a freedom fighter and Vulkan whos a liberator of the people too just complied because they are loyal hypocrites

coping that "when the Crusade is over we will fix everything" lol

[wet sandal]

I've never and will never read anything to do with Horus heresy, but I wonder how different primarchs would be if they weren't scatter across the galaxy

Like would all of them be supersoldier #53718

[storm jungle]

Basically yeah

Big E would mold them all to be Guilliman but even more fascist and blind

[vagrant fox]

Probably, the perfect loyal warcrime machines

[storm jungle]

which is saying a lot because they were all fascist and blind lol

[vagrant fox]

Seeing how Horus was until he got poop knifed

[storm jungle]

[wet sandal]

They would be like generals in hoi4, pictures to put on your armies to give them +8% org and +3% soft attack

[storm jungle]

He was just an idiot because the plot needs him to be corrupted

they was refering to GW

Hang on I gotta google something unrelated to this topic

Yes I am

[wet sandal]

claims to be freedom fighter
look inside
a fighter

Every time

[copper patrol]

smh

[vagrant fox]

I have been tempted at times to write an alt heresy where a lot of the primarchs who don't suck on the chaos juice just say fuck it and leave the Imperium and it starts with an unnailed Angron

Too much effort

[wet sandal]

Someone just gives angron a hammer with those prongs to remove nails on the other side

[abstract vector]

Angron would still rebel because if he finds out its roboute’s world and no reforms then He would still oppose him

Along with Upbringing of Angron seen when he is a slave.

[vagrant fox]

It would be about as effective as his plan of throwing himself at things that can't kill him and hoping they kill him

[wet sandal]

Why didn't angron just use this? Was he stupid?

[signal bramble]

He’d still be pretty vicious I think. That’s why his full name is Angry Ronald.

[vagrant fox]

Probably the War Hounds were a little nasty

[abstract vector]

Angron would get angry at Roboute for mistreatment

[vagrant fox]

I just like the idea of the Khan and Angron biking off into the sunset and the Imperium collapsing

[abstract vector]

Like imagine you found out your brother who promised a better world for his people yet corruption and slavery under his Ultramar

[storm jungle]

he literally does this btw

he just quits teh World Eaters for a bit and Kharn has to get him back on some dead planet

so him rebelling pre-nails and leaving is even more believable

[vagrant fox]

Yea

I just imagine if he wasn't braindented he could carry it out more successfully

[storm jungle]

100%

[vagrant fox]

Take the legion along and start properly rebelling instead of uh, whatever his plan was

Doing an alt heresy is a little tired I can't be bothered doing it

[storm jungle]

Yeah dont bother

its just nice as a fantasy in the head believe me

i was there once lol

[vagrant fox]

There's like 40k of them already I'll just stick to the sector I'm slowly making

[dapper gyro]

Che Guevera was a big time communist, lol.

[wet sandal]

I've actually read a fic once that's just 1 guy rewriting almost the whole Horus heresy but 1 character is replaced with an anime character

Lmao

But “alternative” income streams are very common

Bcs the Chinese government lowkey pays them like shit

Higher level CCP officials is just a think-tank that makes the green line go up

Yarrick is back and he sees cadians and krieg

[vagrant fox]

Small little lore bit about how they adopted superior Cadian wargear

[arctic talon]

That’s not true regarding red.
Red is just traditionally seen as a lucky/good color

Mao’s red obsession spawned from that

And he made it communist to make it “ideologically pure” during the cultural revolution

lol

[vagrant fox]

Yea I thought the communists pushed it extra hard

[arctic talon]

They tried to remove the cultural context around it as a part of the cultural revolution

And they pushed it hard yeah

It didn’t work

[abstract vector]

Ah my Bad

[arctic talon]

Yeah China’s love of red predates communism by a lot

lol

[abstract vector]

Kinda ironic CCP tried to erase their own culture but suddenly just reverse ship decades later

Cultural revolution was pretty unpopular

Within most of the CCPs cliques

Unfortunately for them Mao had a cult of personality

Why does every english speaker scoff at communism and tweak out when you mention it? It couldn't be american exceptionalism no no no. We went into those wars to SAVE THE PEOPLE!

[vagrant fox]

Angloids tend to be strange

[storm jungle]

Because any "communist" regime was just fascist or authoritarian but the form of leadership gets associated with it a lot

[surreal nest]

what would life even be like if I didn't have to risk becoming homeless over one paycheck skipping? Shit, couldn't be worse with a community and means to support me in trying times!

[surreal nest]

Yep!!!

The only infamous forms of communism we have were dictators who wanted to lure in the working class and werent actually communist at all lmfao

[storm jungle]

Tbh communism/socialism would only work in a hamlet or small community setup (its literally in the name) so its not like its impossible but it is very much incompatible with humanity as a social construct, thats kinda been the realistic way to put it i think

there will ALWAYS be people who want to be the bigshot

[surreal nest]

This is true its utopian

[storm jungle]

Yeah exactly

Its usually why small towns/communities even while not socialist in places like the UK or Europe got some of THE most happy and nice folk you can meet lol

America cannot be changed but we just really need more social services

I got it for my birthday, I had a good amount of fun. Didn't expect to like sea battles that much

[crystal forum]

the thing im wondering is how much is this related to venezuela

[vagrant fox]

The cool thing for the cartels to do is to mount naval cannons on their vessels

[crystal forum]

because this is literally the tactic that china uses to bully people in international waters

they pay private vessels to ram other vessels

so you can imagine some american ships going to the gulf to disrupt any venezuelan shipping without it involving the US directly

[abstract vector]

sea battles are too expensive and janky atm

NGL atleast its not viking conquest levels of cost

Goddamn 50K for level 1 ship

[vagrant fox]

I got filthy rich from parking outside a town and just capturing boats en masse

[crystal forum]

idk if you've seen what cartels use but it's shit like submarines and speedboats with like 6 engines

[winged jacinth]

We gotta use those littoral combat ships at least once before we decomission them and build real fast pickets again

[vagrant fox]

I've seen some of the subs that sail to Portugal/Spain whatever. Clever bit of engineering

[outer wave]

Are we gonna have navy/cartel naval fights now or something, I admit I missed a bunch of this convo

[crystal forum]

they're technically semi submersibles so they're less complicated than actual subs but yeah it's impressive

[crystal forum]

chinese fishing vessels are a problem everywhere in the globe

japanese too actually

it's part of the global overfishing problem

these days fishing trawlers are floating processing plants that can catch, process then even can fish

so they park themselves right on the border of countries where internation waters starts and they suck up absolutely everything

fish dont care about nation borders so this inevitably leads to less fish for the victim

theres like a lot of things going on you need some basic 40k knowledge to understand

[gray robin]

i have absolutely no idea what you just said

[celest dome]

What do you understand of the Imperium/Inquisition and about Chaos ?

To know where to start

[storm jungle]

Why do you think i asked this lol

If you literally know nothing about warhammer 40k you are kinda in for a huge rabbithole

[gray robin]

just tell me most of it plz or recommend a video i could watch ab ut

it*

[storm jungle]

I mean i tried and you said you understood nothing

guess ill find a video, hold on

[queen laurel]

You are asking us to completely make a quick rundown of rather quite a lot of topics

It ain't exactly easy to do

[celest dome]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoIOkIXXM64&pp=ygURbHVldGluMDkgZGFya3RpZGU%3D

[gray robin]

sorry idrk how much the lore is

[storm jungle]

uh

[rocky gale]

Allow me to start at the beginning

[gray robin]

tyty

[storm jungle]

like 30 years worth for the setting

[celest dome]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj3-5D9Xx2s

[storm jungle]

also Luetin is bad for this

literally hour of boring yapping

[gray robin]

no way its that much

[storm jungle]

40k was created in 1987

[queen laurel]

Yeah and It has evolved and change in many ways

[rocky gale]

Yea it's closer to 40 years

[gray robin]

how much can you tell me about the video games like base

like what i should do and y

[queen laurel]

I genuinely can't It has so many topics like

It's not deep but it has so many

[gray robin]

damn

[queen laurel]

It would be genuinely wasting both of our time if I did that

[rocky gale]

Well allow me to start at the beginning, so there's this guy called the Emperor

[queen laurel]

I'm not even joking here

[storm jungle]

https://youtu.be/8gYZ5ZazxjY

Best you can get, its 45m but the guy covers literally probably every question you can have

11s in and hes already repeating some of your questions

"Whats an Inquisitor"

"Whats the Imperium"

etc etc

so go watch that

[queen laurel]

Yeah he's good for when you're getting into the setting

By the way fair warning fact check everything

This setting is rather

Funny when it comes to lore

[gray robin]

wdym?

[queen laurel]

Misinformation is quite common

[gray robin]

ohhh

[queen laurel]

The fans of this setting are rather eccentric to say the least, combined with the settings mixed Author kitchen approach of writing The fans tend to just say things that aren't real

[vagrant fox]

weshammer 🫵

[rocky gale]

Yea, there's a problem where a lot of people got their lore from what some guy said in an online forum group chat, never fact checked what they were being told and took whatever they heard as 100% canon truth, then these things spread, people told them to others, to the point where so many people in the community genuinely think they're real because somebody told them it was and if you asked anyone else they'll have heard the same. Even though next to none of it will actually be true

[queen laurel]

Hey it's still a good for beginners

[vagrant fox]

I just hate his thumbnails

[opaque coyote]

wokehammer

[vagrant fox]

I know nothing about wes

[opaque coyote]

whorus

[queen laurel]

Laati I will tear your spine out

[rocky gale]

Or it will be something that starts as an inside joke between friends, then it gets shared and shared and shared, until there's someone 100 rungs down the whisper telephone who now thinks it's canon from a book and shares it as such

[surreal nest]

the guardsman pretending to shoot ork incident

[vagrant fox]

Ork belief is never going away

[queen laurel]

Unfortunately yeah

Like it has tangible effects but it ain't going to bend reality

[rose thorn]

Is this even like, real?

I heard it but I haven’t seen a source

[surreal nest]

its supposed to be a joke on superstition but people think its a super power

[rose thorn]

An in lore joke makes a lot more sense lmao

[vagrant fox]

I've seen it be either guardsmen or spacemarines so 99.99% it's not real

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[rocky gale]

Yea it's the "Guard pretend to shoot Orks and Orks dieing because they think they've been killed" meme or the orks running up in formation immune to bullets because they're shouting "I'm a tank, I'm a tank" none of it's true

It's just memelore people shit out

[storm jungle]

its not real

fuck sakes people

lmao

Literal snakeoil type shit

[surreal nest]

THATS WHAT WE ARE SAYING

[queen laurel]

Yeah like I said it has a tangible effect like for example on the prophet of the WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH, when guys Ghazghkull was losing himself and not focusing everything on the WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH was falling apart The guns were not shooting we're jamming and running out of ammo The vehicles were breaking down quicker

[storm jungle]

👎

[queen laurel]

But at most it's just reality duct tape

[tough haven]

Yeah but it isn’t the full reality restructure people think it is

[queen laurel]

Helps them do things better but not actually bend reality

Yeah that's the problem

People think it can bend reality

[tough haven]

Or reality lube, depending on the situation

[queen laurel]

I prefer tape really

Much more funny

[tough haven]

Sometimes you need the gubbins to move more

Sometimes you need the worky bits to quit jumpin around

Both have their place

[copper patrol]

get da grotz up in there

they'll get the gubbins moving again

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-11905852304112868072

[gray robin]

im not watching all of this bro😭

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I am thinking that maybe the Ork bullshit is true

But only at the height of their power. War of Heaven, Grork. Considering how bullshit the war in heaven is

[gray robin]

its so long

[storm jungle]

Then have fun not knowign anything lol

if you dont wanna learn then dont ask lmao

[gray robin]

im too tired for it

why u so agressive

damn

[queen laurel]

We genuinely can't help you if you won't we don't exactly have a date a slug we can just stab on your brain and absorb everything

[storm jungle]

I mean us telling you will take about as long

idk what you want buddy

45m of lore is also really not that much

[opaque coyote]

This isn't me stating that it's true. It's just that I can imagine that would be the only way for the Gestalt field to be powerful enough to do whatever bullshit they want.

[storm jungle]

Shut up laati

[vagrant fox]

Dilara is just very, very evil

[opaque coyote]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/G77UqfxXgAAe04A.gif

[dapper gyro]

To be honest, she is right this time.

[storm jungle]

Dumbass brainrot

[queen laurel]

Yeah as much as jaded as she is it's right like we can't exactly just compress the information into a candy and feed it to you

[dapper gyro]

If you don't want to watch, then you and people here have to spend the same amount of time to explain things to you.

[opaque coyote]

But yeah @gray robin you're gonna have to go through a factions respective codexes, a 45 minute video, etc. to get the basics of them.

[storm jungle]

No they wont

that 45m video explains you all you need to know about darktide lol

[vagrant fox]

Just watch it tomorrow or something if you're tired

[gray robin]

so if i watch it ill know all i need?

[surreal nest]

its a good start

[queen laurel]

Yes and if you have very specific questions you can come here

[opaque coyote]

Oh Darktide.

Thought it was something else considering how much we uh

Don't talk about the game

[gray robin]

i think imma just take a nap and get some doordash and watch it

[dapper gyro]

Things relevant to the game, yes.

[opaque coyote]

[vagrant fox]

Enough for the basics

[gray robin]

ok tyty

[opaque coyote]

The very basics yeah

[storm jungle]

For Darktide yes

[surreal nest]

warhammer lore is convoluted and dumb as fuck have fun

[storm jungle]

also some setting basics

[gray robin]

wait theres more warhammer games in the same universe?

[storm jungle]

Yes

[surreal nest]

i do not wanna hear NO EMOJIIS DISAGREEING HORUS HERESY SUCKS

[queen laurel]

Yes

Warhammer is a setting about the Milky Way p

[opaque coyote]

Come here, or go to the lexicanum and search whatever topic up (DON'T GO TO FANDOM) if you want more specific info about the 40k universe

[dapper gyro]

If you start to ask stuff like "where is Morrow coming from, what's war on Armageddon?" Then it is a 3 hours video.

[queen laurel]

Remember this Warhammer is as wide as an ocean as deep as a puddle

It has a lot of things

But they're not deep

And I mean a lot of things

[gray robin]

https://tenor.com/view/colts-indianapolis-colts-dashawn-dashawndontplay-comebackcolts-gif-3722088454661338814

whyd it send a link

[surreal nest]

no perms

not yet

[vagrant fox]

Chat until you get perms

[gray robin]

ohh

[surreal nest]

tell me a joke and make me smile and we can talk about your promotion

[queen laurel]

Defense mechanism your name needs to be read so you need to be talking some more because you know some people just enter here and post horrific shit

[opaque coyote]

BUY PLASTIC CRACK. I MADE CHARACTER WITH BLURB OF LORE.

[storm jungle]

Yeah we get a lot of bots

lol

[opaque coyote]

YOU LIKE TITUS ULTRAMARINE YES? BUY HIS MODEL NOW.

[queen laurel]

Basically yeah

[surreal nest]

and darktide players are dumb enough to fall for bots btw

[queen laurel]

To be fair They aren't exactly the height of intelligence

I'm talking about those players of course

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-warhammer-40k-grenade-truth-nuke-gif-6248133608324632914

[vagrant fox]

Considering general- and fan-art chat it has to be safe

[surreal nest]

meanwhile deadlock players can lift people with their mind

[gray robin]

why did the toilet paper not get to the end of the road

[surreal nest]

why

[gray robin]

cause it was stuck in a crack

im sorry please dont ban me that was unfunny

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/8WVBT7FrgJI?si=r9zmP9SIBwjhFEB1

[queen laurel]

Unfunny and unoriginal joke zero out of 10

[storm jungle]

Banned

[surreal nest]

i loved it make this person a moderator

[queen laurel]

I'm going to turn you into Ash

[gray robin]

😭

[surreal nest]

@spring cairn rank check

[gray robin]

im sorry 😭

[vagrant fox]

The corner of my mouth twitched I give it a +0.5

[gray robin]

wait so is everything we do in darktide to worship the god emperor

?

[surreal nest]

by extension

[queen laurel]

Yes it's also naturally assume that you will worship the emperor every time and everything you do for him is for his empire, by the way you can get lynched for not to worshiping the guy

[opaque coyote]

Lynched is the best outcome btw

[surreal nest]

everything you do is for the god emperor but you dont do everything for the god emperor

[opaque coyote]

Actually dying for not worshipping him is the BEST outcome

[gray robin]

but how is he a god if all he was a human that made the Imperium

[opaque coyote]

The Imperium can and will do worse

[surreal nest]

not human

[gray robin]

oh

[surreal nest]

he is a weird thing i dont know the name of

[arctic talon]

He was human at first

Maybe

[rocky gale]

He was never really a human in the way a regular person is

[arctic talon]

He’s fucking weird

[rocky gale]

Maybe

[arctic talon]

He’s not human a regular person is

[gray robin]

uh

[arctic talon]

He is human in the sense he was born to two human parents

[queen laurel]

Isn't he a psyker

[arctic talon]

Does that make sense

[rocky gale]

His backstory is shrouded in mystery

[arctic talon]

He is a Psyker but he’s way fucking weirder

He’s weirder then other perpetuals

[queen laurel]

That is true

[celest dome]

He was a Psyker at the least, which depending on your view, make him a mutant

[arctic talon]

No normal human is like him

[queen laurel]

Basically he was the guys that shoot fire on their hands

[arctic talon]

Nowadays he’s uh

[gray robin]

this is overstimulating

[arctic talon]

Close to exploding

Into a chaos god

[opaque coyote]

The closest analogue would be a Greek god like Zeus. Including the asshole behavior

[arctic talon]

Don’t worry about it

[queen laurel]

We told you just watch the video

[arctic talon]

[vagrant fox]

He's human but extraordinarily powerful and weird and an asshole

[surreal nest]

aka GW backed themselves into a corner and didnt know how to write it after horus heresy dropped

[gray robin]

i sm

i am

[rocky gale]

But he's basically an incredibly powerful immortal being

With space magic

[celest dome]

Honestly, Odin is a better analogue.
Zeus wanted to fuck someone.
Odin wanted to fuck someone over.

[rocky gale]

He lived amongst humanity for thousands of years observing the rises and falls

and came to a conclusion with two main keystones, Firstly that religion is cringe and secondly that everything in the galaxy that wasn't human needed to die.

[outer wave]

40k lore do be like that at first

[vagrant fox]

Just gotta get over the initial hump

[spring cairn]

congrats

i'm obscurus cuz i haven't played in a while

[surreal nest]

im addicted

[rose thorn]

I swore there was something wrong with this box but I don’t remember what

[rocky gale]

They're all Monopose models and several of the squads are the wrong unit size

[rose thorn]

OH YEAHHHH

[rocky gale]

and it's all annoyingly wrong sizes, so no matter what you do there's no combination of purchases you can get that doesn't leave you with extra models you can't use

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[rocky gale]

It used to be the Combat Patrol with a Rhino in it, lots of people loved it but i hated it

The unique scults are cool, but ehh

[winged jacinth]

Wolftime time...

[rose thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/akira-leave-me-alone-leave-me-alone-meme-tiktok-flashbang-gif-4551717451263337445

[winged jacinth]

Im still holding out hope they go for the deep cut and when russ comes back he has a magic boot

[opaque coyote]

I mean

The Sensei's

But yeah fair enough

He even made a huge sacrifice for more knowledge

I would also include wisdom but uhh

Despite living for thousands of years, the Emperor is only beaten by Magnus in his lack of wisdom

Like at least Magnus has the excuse of being extremely young and basically a manchild with how fast he grew

I still think it would be funny for a version of 30k that's like

[storm jungle]

Old af lore and not canon, and its just one part of his character

👎

[opaque coyote]

"What if the Emps was slightly less of an asshole?"

[opaque coyote]

I know, mainly just a joke

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

Why the fuck did they even call them Senseis anyways

[storm jungle]

because it was the 80's

and white people are obsessed with japan

[opaque coyote]

Fair

[opaque coyote]

Still true to this day

Place? ❌
Place, Japan. ✅

Tbf it also spread to other Asian countries funnily enough

Even China and South Korea despite also hating Japan with all of their hearts

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

Sounded weird and foreign

[opaque coyote]

I mean I would've just named them like

Lost Scions

Or something

But eh

Also might be mistaken for the cooler version of Scions

[vagrant fox]

The 80s were just sloppy they'd never have thought of scions

[opaque coyote]

True.

A couple of parts of Rogue Trader I kinda wish were ported.

Like the encouragement of kitbashing and substitutions

"Don't have a tank? We have a rule for a fucking Mercedes."

But generally, Rogue Trader is fucking weird

Like even at isolation and not compared to the future

[opaque coyote]

Also, I think it was before they developed their obsession with Latin anyways

40k Rogue Trader is generally more mad max if anything

Compared to the overly religious vibes we have now

Although it still has the mad max part

Just much smaller

@storm jungle By the way, where exactly is the Farsight enclaves located?

I know that the T'au empire is generally located near the Ultramar empire (because blue attracts blue ig).

[vagrant fox]

I think it's on the border of the Ultima Segmentum and the core worlds of the Tau

[storm jungle]

No idea personally, only that its on the Eastern Fringe

and yeah that

[vagrant fox]

Kinda squeezed in there

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Damocles_Gulf#

It would seem so

[nocturne crest]

So why do the farsight enclaves still exist?

[winged jacinth]

They're a substantial military power

[arctic talon]

Substantial military power the tau empire doesn’t want to deal with. Along with the fact they appear allied with the tau empire externally

[daring creek]

Top 10 reasons why space marines always win

Numba uno

[arctic talon]

Also they have a lot of sympathizers

[daring creek]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

Within the Fire csste

Like

A lot

[daring creek]

Number twno

A

[nocturne crest]

I see.

So can the farsight enclaves expand further out or are they stuck?

[arctic talon]

Stuck, they don’t want to expand rn either

[winged jacinth]

Yeah that probably combines to the most detailed reason, that the tau empire is founded on the idea of complete unity and going to what will almost certainly be a protracted civil war with maybe your civilization's most famous war hero is both a huge waste of resources they can't afford and a major blow to their core image

[signal bramble]

It’s changed in the latest farsight book

[signal bramble]

well not exactly.

[arctic talon]

Again

Ffs

I’m not into farsight enough to read his stuff I’m ngl

What’s fhe change

[signal bramble]

The latest farsight book has some developments on the tau empire reclaiming the enclaves or at least trying to.

[arctic talon]

Interesting

[signal bramble]

You know Aun’Va? The supreme Ethereal who was murdered by the imperium and replaced with an AI?

[arctic talon]

Yes

I’m aware of Aun’va GPT

[nocturne crest]

Tbf, it makes sense seeing how the T'au leadership rather have Farsight and this followers die than save them from chaos or the orks.

[arctic talon]

Even if I think he should have been replaced by now with a new ethereal supreme

[nocturne crest]

What happened in the Arks of Omen.

[signal bramble]

Right so major spoiler for the new farsight book.

||the Aun’Va AI is going batshit insane and getting worse and worse and the ethereals can’t replace him or get rid of him. Effective boxing themselves in to a corner. The ai is obsessed with trying. To force farsight enclaves back in to the fold and have him executed as a traitor.||

So

||it actively tries to in the midst of a nid invasion of the enclaves. But another ethereal intervenes and the two have a tag team honor duel against the fire caste ethereal guards. I forget their exact names and the AI is forced to abide by the rules and leave him alone, for now.||

And then.

||the enclaves are dealing with a full on tyranid invasion but farsight does manage to kill the swarm lord. Because of course he does.||

And that’s basically how it ends.

||The ethereals are trying to reign in the AI before it goes too insane and the enclaves are getting nommed by the hungry bugs.||

[winged jacinth]

Lmao maybe the writing pulls it off but that sounds like such a dumb problem for them to be having lol

[signal bramble]

That’s a very condensed summary.

I don’t wanna recap the entire book ofc.

[winged jacinth]

||we forgot how to unplug the computer!!! Its over!!!||

Bros you're political cadres just disappear it

[signal bramble]

It’s this book if anyone is interested.

[arctic talon]

Interesting

Also is there ||a specific reason they can’t get rid of the Aun’va engram||

[signal bramble]

Yeah there’s an entire bit where an ethereal says ||that the AI is going to lead them all in to ruin and at this rate the ethereals are trying to save the very soul of their people.||

[signal bramble]

Yes. ||Basically they can’t “kill” it or make him disappear suddenly without it causing an uproar and their lie being exposed.||

My interpretation is that there’s basically no way for them to get it alone to do what must be done.

[arctic talon]

||ffs can’t they just say Aun’va died peacefully in his sleep and his family wants a private funeral 💀 ||

Interesting though

Ty

[dapper gyro]

This chat starts to look like some certain US file.

[signal bramble]

The actual plot isn’t that good tbh but the lore implications of it are actually really interesting.

[tough haven]

It’s done pretty well

[signal bramble]

I always do spoilers when talking about books in case folks want to read them. :D

[arctic talon]

||wifjajxusuhdhausudhwb|| AUN’VA ||wushdhahxhaicjjsucuwufusivjsj|| FARSIGHT ENCLAVE

[tough haven]

The farsight files

[signal bramble]

My main discord has a strict no spoiler policy so major plot stuff I’m in the habit of marking.

[arctic talon]

Makes sense

Anyways I’m sincerely hoping GW replaces holopope

I’m so tired of him lol

[tough haven]

The scene where farsight flees from nids in such a way that while chasing him they spell out “fire on my position” in tau is some peak 40K bullshit

[tough haven]

?

[arctic talon]

Aun’va

They should have just replaced him imo

[signal bramble]

I actually burst out laughing when that happened.

[arctic talon]

He’s not the first or last ethereal supreme to die

[tough haven]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

It’s odd they didn’t just replace him normally

[tough haven]

A plot for another book

[arctic talon]

And say he went down swinging or something

[tough haven]

It was sooo good

[arctic talon]

Anyways Aun’va gpt is prolly being replaced soonish

[signal bramble]

Like I said, the actual plot beats of blade of truth aren’t that good in my opinion, but I will 100% unironically praise the lore implications.

[arctic talon]

Then again

Maybe we get new Aun’va gpt mini

[signal bramble]

Turn it off and back on again tbh

[tough haven]

It’s interesting for sure

[tough haven]

Pray for the earth caste when he does, all new engineers can do is look to him and say “Aun is this true?”

[signal bramble]

Also ||farsight freaking out over seeing past battles really… idk, doesn’t make sense? He’s a hardened general that’s hundreds of years old. I’d think he’d handle it a bit better?||

[arctic talon]

I must consult the puretide engram chip

[tough haven]

Well it’s implied ||it’s partially because of warp influence/shadow in the warp||

Could just be trauma

Happens to the best of us

He is trying to take a journey of introspection, so it makes sense

[tough haven]

No wonder everyone who received the pure tide chip became braindead

[signal bramble]

I didn’t like the tau at first. But when I saw the insidiousness of the ethereals beneath the veneer of wisdom and guidance? They really grew on me.

[arctic talon]

Have you read the 8e tau codex

[tough haven]

No way, can’t believe 40K was the inspiration for the neuralink chip

[arctic talon]

Where they have the water caste be the CIA

LOL

[humble shoal]

brother the whole mechanicus is an inspirastion for sv

[signal bramble]

Ye.

I have it and the 9th somewhere.

[arctic talon]

Me when I say something bad about puretide do the engram decides to fry my brain because I was rude

[signal bramble]

The books made me but the codex Lewl.

[humble shoal]

why do you think elon wants to go to mars

[tough haven]

I fucking love how it boils down to being a high tech, more subtle reflection of the imperium in many ways

[arctic talon]

The tau are a more realistic evil

One that’s common today lol

[signal bramble]

Yeah but the veneer of kindness and compassion etc. makes it even better.

[tough haven]

I know

Hold on, you’d like this

[arctic talon]

They’re imperialistic gunboat diplomacy assholes lol

[tough haven]

https://youtu.be/zv-HpXeo2Qk?si=oHja6dw1fxstqI0y

Not only does this song encapsulate that perfectly

But it makes the tau seem badass

[signal bramble]

It’s not AI is it?

[tough haven]

Also tau music that isn’t just fucking reed flutes

[signal bramble]

There’s a lot of those floating around.

[tough haven]

No

This guy is legit

[signal bramble]

Oh good.

[tough haven]

I got the handful of actual 40K music artists pinned down

[arctic talon]

The Tau will manifest destiny by planting this pulse rifle in your skull

[tough haven]

“Dismantle down all those who oppose, for merciless ideals must be overthrown” is literally a line in it

[arctic talon]

Based

[tough haven]

Supposedly this song was inspired by Pantera

[arctic talon]

The tau in total war will be exciting

Every faction in total war

Actually how the fuck are drukhari going to work

[tough haven]

“We will eat your suffering last”

If you ally with us

They do shit like that all the time to imperial worlds

Just open the gates a few nights a year and let us kidnap the rabble

[arctic talon]

No like how does territory for them work

They don’t permanently occupy land in real space

[storm jungle]

Probably same as dark elves

raid and leave or occupy and suffer the consequences lol

[arctic talon]

lol

[daring creek]

Gen is a cess pool me thinks

[storm jungle]

You belong there tbh

[daring creek]

That's so mean

Lmao

[storm jungle]

I mean its true

[daring creek]

:(

[storm jungle]

all you do is appear and say brainrot shit then leave

i miss when you werent weird

lol

[vagrant fox]

Makes me wonder if they'll do any sort of webway travelling in TWW40k

[daring creek]

I can't remember a point where I wasn't

[plush mason]

craftworld eldar are a core faction so it would werid for them to not do something

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

you used to be good and normal and then you went on the internet

[storm jungle]

100%

not-webway fast travel already exists in Total Warhammer too

the goddamn tree network thing lol

[daring creek]

Was it when I was complaining about warhammer fans or smth lmfao

[storm jungle]

I dunno probably

[arctic talon]

THE TREES

THEY SPEAK TO ME

[plush mason]

and underway, and beast paths

[vagrant fox]

I would think so but I can also see them not doing that and just have craftworlds sail around the place

[arctic talon]

You don’t play as the whole craftworld

[vagrant fox]

I haven't played total warhammers in an age I don't know how it works anymore

[arctic talon]

You’re just a “warband”

Is how they use the terminology

[vagrant fox]

wack

[storm jungle]

damn thats lame

craftworlds as travelling capitals of your faction would be way cooler, i guess for a future game

[arctic talon]

I’d assume you can get the whole craftworld eventually

[daring creek]

Speaking of warhammer. Did I say I finally continued reading Eisenhorn? ||I'm around the part where he literally slayed a Chaos marine lmfao. It was crazy. ||

||Oh yeah. I found Oberon Glaws death to be really funny lmao.||

[storm jungle]

Yeah i picture eldar as having craftworlds for their whole capital which you can upgrade etc

[daring creek]

I'll grab it later

Wait

[arctic talon]

Is my bet

[daring creek]

Do I even need to spoilerbox books here

I don't think I did before

[arctic talon]

Yeah that’s what I think it’s gona work like, and if you confederate the other CWE factions of the same craftworld you get more and more stuff

Sorta like with Wood elves/empire/Chorfs

[daring creek]

I wish i had the page on hand

[vagrant fox]

Hope yet remains for total Saim Hann domination

The description of the Slaaneshian space marines armor reminded me a lot of the Tiara from Dagon.

Mainly in both induced dread out of its archaic nature- oh.

Both are literally eldritch horror

No shit it reminded me of Lovecraft

Also

I should go back over the Eisenhorns again and finally get through Bequin

[daring creek]

Doesn't the origin of the word "eldritch" partially include elves?

[daring creek]

Bequin kinda goated

I like her

[crystal forum]

reallly?

[daring creek]

And I like Eisenhorn for being so tolerant of her.

I really like the clash between himself finding her very attractive and finding her utterly revolting because she was a blank

[daring creek]

I'll check

[crystal forum]

missus is great

[crystal forum]

Elf-Ruler: Aeldridge

Yeah.

The word "Eldritch" was not used in the description of the space marines armor.

However. I still enjoy it quite a lot because isn't Slaanesh an Invention of the Eldar?

Also

I liked how temptation instantly overtook Eisenhorn when he touched the book. He nearly read and opened it.

It shows how even Inquisitors such as himself are vulnerable to chaos influence.

[storm jungle]

Yesnt.

Slaanesh always existed but the Eldar also spawned her.

Time doesnt exist in the Warp so its both lol

[humble shoal]

kinky ass elves

[daring creek]

He burnt the book in the space marines body

[storm jungle]

shut up pencildick

[humble shoal]

If anything thats the elgi

[storm jungle]

No need to project lumberfoot

[daring creek]

Like literally tossed the book into the decapitated torso

[humble shoal]

[storm jungle]

[humble shoal]

whenever anyuthing goes bad there's an elgi to blame

[storm jungle]

*humans

[daring creek]

Even the fucking space marine was overtook by the book

[storm jungle]

so no

[humble shoal]

those brettonian assholes

an elgi is to blame

[daring creek]

That gave Eisenhorn the opening to lop his fucking head off

[vagrant fox]

the horrors of becoming a nerd

[storm jungle]

Elves didnt make bretonnians dumb-dumb

next

[daring creek]

[humble shoal]

[daring creek]

I had to stop myself from reading Eisenhorn

Because I knew for a fact I would continue for a while

[humble shoal]

anyway aeldari just have the rip collective punishment

amish ass elves

[daring creek]

10 hours of noise audio and a book is like the recipe for crack

[storm jungle]

swing and a miss

[humble shoal]

I was aiming for the catcher so its fine

[storm jungle]

lmao

[daring creek]

I'm curious on the lore for Voke. As hes leagues more hitler-y than Eisenhorn

[humble shoal]

sigmar blessed my aim wherever it is

[storm jungle]

the attraction is uncanny its true

[humble shoal]

🫃

[storm jungle]

get well soon 😔

[daring creek]

Also question, would guardsmen abandoning their leaders for reasons like them feeling the scary chaos/xeno energy emitting through a place be considered deserters? I wanted to ask last night but felt it was dumb.

Theres very specific context though. I'll grab it in a second.

[humble shoal]

these guys are an oc

[storm jungle]

Yes

the Imperial Guard literally works on wehrmacht rules

[humble shoal]

the power of slaanesh sealed in my right arm

[daring creek]

Basically the guardsmen ran off from house glaw

[storm jungle]

you leave your duty you die

[daring creek]

Regardless of reason?

[storm jungle]

I mean yea

[humble shoal]

yeah

commisars

in darktide

literally killed a medic

[storm jungle]

the Imperium doesnt reward sense, it rewards cruelty and unquestioning dimwittedness

[humble shoal]

because the medic brought an injured dude back to cover

to treat him

[daring creek]

Even when the leading group is a heretic? Like the glaws.
