Not even a medic, it was a normal guardsman dragging a comrade back during an artillery barrage and Wolfer watched him shoot the guy
Raine, the female postergirl commissar
Yes.
the Imperium doesnt reward sense, it rewards cruelty and unquestioning dimwittedness
ah yes
swore it was a medic which makes it even worse
Doesnt matter in their eyes, "not one step back"
yup

there are 3 commisars in darktide
Eisenhorn is very kind then
all of them are assholes
Oh hes super kind
cain is a saint

||literally in the first few pages of Xenos he puts his stubgun down the throat of a heretic and fires, very kind indeed||

She'll see soon
kind
you still on the first book missus?
Okay hold on
wow thats spoilers don't read that
Got em
||Eyclone literally intentionally opened up those cryochambers and caused them to wake up too early and sacrfice those souls to pontius glaw to resurrect him...somehow. And it wasn't his own stubber. It was his associates weapon. He literally avenged her. ||
I don't remember the death count
You're a good man, Gregor Eisenhorn...
||But there was a woman begging Eisenhorn for help. He would've shot her dead because she was suffering. I think her skin was melting||

KIND FOR AN INQUISITOR
Surely he would never cross a line
Man

You're a good man, Gregor Eisenhorn......
I'm like 200 pages in. Baaah
Eggs?

egg!!!
EGG
no he's kind
It will be entertaining!
40k character doing something bad? 🙀
kind of a dick gottem
"know"
bro
no the emperor was kind
this girl is cooked
i fucking love seals
canadoid statement
Were you not implying that
no i dont want to kill them
i have never seen a seal
So seally
I've given one a pat
Seals are cool
Their skin is rough right?
he accepted a pat for some processed fish
when I lived in Greenland in an apartment block my upstairs neighbour would hunt seals and skin them and leave it to hang on his balcony and it'd drip down on our balcony and I've never forgiven seals since
sorta
you're not supposed to touch seals because of germs i think??
My GF and I went to aqua land and she got to go meet them and one called Bruno gave her a kiss.
i thinks seals are very germ ridden
that is possible
Germs? I'm built different
he came up to me and it felt required
unlike dolphins where touching them i think degrades their natural oily skin or smth
Wild seals sure but ones who are being looked after will be fine
who keeps a pet seal
Not a pet, but zoos
Aquariums and aquatic people
"check if the seal has a collar"
i just know you're not allowed to touch wild seals
Absolutely wild
with my bare fucking hands
i wore my tactical mechanix gloves smh
asnd I did it right by noaaa
was it in california
no
northeast
hunt you down

likely out of atstute of limitations
I think dolphins like the attention
Another gay jay moment
since it was over 10 years ago
im quite intoxicated
fireball
idk i never met a dolphin
I've heard dolphins are perverts
my general rule is treat all wildlife like it wants to kill you
never approach it
this is good for both you and the animal
🪞
Dolphins seem very curious
they are complete psychos
Because I always imagined mr hyde looking like that sergeant from Inside job
Are they in comparison to other mammals
Or even animals in general
Well.
Pink river dolphins
Yes
dolphins are very smart
Do NOT ask what they do to fish they catch
All of them sound delicious.
Literally evolving in an arms race to SA better and make your vagina a maze to be SA'd less
Ducks were the first case study of what evolutionary biology calls a "genital arms race"
Duckban Penis Crisis
dont forget the worst part ||the males penis will fall off, and it regrows based off of relative competition in the area||
This one has some parasite, you have to cook very well done before consumption.
At least we don't have any mammals that do what ticks or bedbugs(?) do
bonus: ||barnacles have the highest penmis to body ratio||
Don't you want to be a part of your partner?
Forever!
Cetaceans are maybe unique besides humans in their ability to be intentionally cruel
I don't want to impale my partner's back with my penis, no
bunch of dang poiverts in this chat smh
There's snails that have what are called penis darts
all of the statements I made were in my marine biology textbook
in HS
Freak biology textbook
Ah yeah dolphin house
Do not scroll my phone camera roll back to when i was taking animal biology for majors 
blue whales are funny too
And there's at least one video of a dolphin attempting to uhhh get with a woman
I don't like dolphins as a species
there are 10s of hours of footage of that in a house
dont look at my saved pics at all
unless you want to
Dolphins torment pufferfish for fun
For the high IIRC
to get high *
They don't eat em or anything they just beat them up
You're banned jay
racist!!!
Really shows how much content exists for tau though, same two animations
you won't ever see them then!!

If I say yes then what
Don't look through my writing
Yeah I'm a dolphin hater
I don't save fucked up pics just because but i haven't deleted my like 500 labeled dissection images lol
then im finding you
They're alright, it's messed up that they torture and slap seals around dozens of feet into the air, even if they're doing it to hone their predation skills
they're dolphins
Do you guys write in cursive?
I think their whole language thing they got goin on is neat
So by that logic, you also hoot and holler and throw feces while jumping through trees?
well orcas are literally porpoises

Dolphin is a much wider group than human
BLACK TEMPLAR FAN
i write in full cursive
thats how you know im a crazy person
There's like 4 independently evolved species of freshwater dolphin
Doesn't change the fact that orcas are very different from dolphins as we colloquially know them
they are literally giant dophins
we should kill all water mammals to restore the fish balance
Its kinda funny that mammals weren't happy conquering the land and have decided to become the dominant sea creatures too
Are normal sized dolphins also a matriarchy without gang 🍇 and localized language patterns
checkmate liberole
yeah?
Orcas are more closely related to, say, the bottlenose than the bottlenose is to the yangtze river dolphin iirc
at least bottlenose have localized language patterns
anyway
best dolphin
anyway dolphin is a genus
Important note that I'm talking about bottlenoses when I slander dolphins
false killer whales need no slander
Because that's the first thing most people picture when you just say dolphin
I think I've heard of these ones before
What are some fun things about them
nothing really, they are just goofy guys
they do eat other dolphins though
and I think are allied with whales in the gang wars
since the blue whales are at war with the orcas (who are allied with the bottlenose)
Do you watch that Casual Geographic guy
occasionally
Cachalot (because sperm whale is a stupid name) was one of those apex predator as well.
but had heard of the whale fights before from hs biology
Cars should explode after honking too many times
if the lights too bright they should also explode
It’s about to go down in SM2 server💀
This will keep being a thing forever and ever it seems
Dumbest shit
Yeah. This is what happens when you dont cull the bad parts of your server lol
Dont engage, just watch

the usual shit we are used to by now
"Space Wolves can't be black"
It’s an absolutely insane reaction
"Ultramarines can't be black."
Worst part is
Fenris being a fire planet is literally from their first introduction in white dwarf
It’s been repeated multiple times throughout multiple codecis, 3rd ed had how their gene seed make them ‘tan and leather like’ which after seeing the colour my grandma went when she tanned always made me think ‘PoC’.
The fifth even explains how the South Island tribes are “dark of skin and temperament”.
It’s been a possibility within their lore from their introduction.
Its also like-
humans intermix all the time lol
ESPECIALLY in sci-fi settings
the straight up unapologetic racism this fandom is obsessed with is genuinely crazy
crazy that a wholeass planet can have different ethnicities that look different
I love the logic for that too
"Well all norse people were white so fenris might be too"
lol
I do wish we had art for the southern islands
because it's described as being more temperate
like iceland
with volcanic activity
polish my orb
White skin in humans came along like 10k years ago or something, afaik. 40k got plenty of time for people to change even if they started one way
Mfs acting like snowy weather prevents black people from being born 💀
Werent the first humans literally almost all tanned or something
Caucasians as we know are around 8000ish years old iirc
I've seen some very tan Inuits in Greenlands summer months too
should see my grandpa 💀
he's tanned out the wazoo
the reason Inuit are more tanned that other peoples who lived in the north like Caucasians is because the sun doesn't go down for months on end so they have similar skin to people near the equator
it's very cool
Yeah it's extremely bright all of the time
Sunburnt lips are very cool most assuredly
Always just boils down to racism at the end of the day yeah
this is ignoring space wolvs and seeing how people react to even other marines with no helmets lol
the real shame is that the space wolves are dorks no matter their skin colour
(i hate sw)
To be fair, the juxtaposition of ‘South Island Tribes’ with dark skin and nomad sea farers did make me lean more Polynesian than African, but it’s also vague enough to go either way
The main issue is the fact he has black hair, that means he’s young as fuck. Space Wolves hair goes grey or white over time.
I also don’t love the eye patch in a setting where bionics are relatively easy to come by
"Put on your helmet brother"
"He wont because his breath stinks"
Salamanders accidentally making the poor guardsmen shit themselves after removing their helmets
I dont really think a mono-culture planet would have Polynesians
thats Space Sharks which also has its iffyness
there's also another chapter inspired by them iirc
English writers not take foreign cultures and apply them to white people moment
I mean racially rather than culturally
Aren’t Salamanders the only chapter where all the Marines are the same because they exclusively recruit from Nocturne?
theres a reason tribal orks got nuked lol
Skintone yes, but Sallies got multiple ethnicities
African, Caucasian, Asian etc
They have different ethnicities too
GW flesh out the Obsidian Jaguars more and do a really insensitive moment it'll be really funny
skintone is from their geneseed
^
I had trouble wording what I meant lol. That’s why my question sounded weird
normal nocturnies have a wide variation of ethnicities and race
^
99% of the time they recruit exclusively from their homeworld, but there have been very rare exceptions
You are among friends here dont worry lol
I thought it was the radiation
Eh same shit idk
SW recruit from one planet too
The Salamander skin is Black 2.0, or Vanta black rather than racially black
Asian, African and Caucasian. Culture wise not sure about Nocturne
it's how the radiation interacted with their geneseed
my favorite trope
iirc the early sallies weren't charcoal black
radiation can just do anything
Nocturnian culture has some greek elements
They werent yeah
It's quite weird but ig sure, radiation does that yeah
Mmmm spicy air magic
The Salamanders chapter are well known heroes of the Imperium. And.....they're black, right? Or at least they used to be, right? Well, let's look into that and see how and when they turned into charcoal lava people!
Thanks to Graham McNeill, Gav Thorpe and Josh Mallet at OmegonEdge:

Check out the SECOND CHANNEL to...
very fascinating video
Fantasy radiation my beloved
also later on covers the entire thing of representation in 40k
and how GW for years was afraid of doing non-white characters
its very funny
Mfw anyone uses Heliomancy should realistically be giving everyone cancer
You can do anything with it
do Necrons use radiation at all?
Best not do another pygmy moment I suppose
I know they suffered from it lmao
Probably Nocturnes biologically evolved to become immune to radiation
Radiation is green, which is the same color as vegetables. Therefore its good for you
or atleast high tolerance
In Borderlands it’s yellow
Weapons wise No?
Yeah, I do remember at the time trying to broaden my horizons and then binning a couple of minis that were basically just racist because it was really hard to do without being bad at the time
I know a couple Eavy Metal painters avoided it for the same reason, but I don’t know if that applies to everyone
Corn colored = healthy
Generally no, but the Thokt Dynasty (blue glow, grey-black metallic bodies) famously are very radioactive.
I read alot of Necron novels and there are no whats the word residue?
Yeaaah it was bad, only after the 2018 IP reboot that did GW actually broaden their horizons abit
Trace?
Speaking of Necron novels
its kinda insane it took them 30 years to do a black marine with an actual mini
Like every time someone get shot near them or war for decades against the necrons dont have radiation
Do I need the other Dawn of Fire books to read The Silent King?
fuck no
It's not great for us
dont read any of them
ngl
Dawn of Fire sucks
Traces or Residue yeah
it's a space marine book first and foremost
Not even The Silent King?
yeah
Isn't there like two good Dawn of Fire stories
I hated dawn of fire because for a split second I thought it was new name for dawn of war years ago


I remember the first ever kill team in…5th or 6th ed rule book
And they had a black catachan guy in the back, and the buzz about how to finally do it without being racist was something I took for granted at the time
Fucking YouTube culture wars ruining everything
chapter house is behind it I just know it
Catachans had a lot of African Americans in the art even back then given vietnam war aesthethics

Nooot really
The outrage is just so boring, waa someone is melinated
there was literally like
Emperor TTS ruined my view of Catachans lmao. Now all I can think of is the Barking Toad
1 black catachan guy, ever
lol
people really misremember it
they are entirely all white people in artwork
dont they have mixed arts too with Darker Skinned catachans back then?
Not really
let me get some art
alot of older 40k art has zero black people
its all white folks
Some of the art has them a little bronzed but not much iirc
Apparently the mini I’m after is in the 4th Ed rule book
Ebay
I mean catachan are just Rambos, so Americans in Vietnam
but its a minefield
Surprisingly cheap on eBay tbf
And some of them were black obviously, but that's not the stereotypical American in Vietnam
Meanwhile Audiobook dont give them distinct american accents

We need more latino marines fr
this is just some example of old catachan art
out of all of them theres just 1 black guy
Total British victory
lol
ah nvm
Closest ones is Crimson Fist
MORE
How possible is it to have an outskirt fringe planet sect of Imperial Guards that are just cowboys?
what world were gaunts ghost from
Would be weird
He doesnt remember last time i remember
But its possible
Commissars are always raised in scholas
Tanith
Scotland but the forests move
He isnt loyal to any homeworld
tanith>catachan
I just don’t know what factions would better suit just tried and true cowboys

I know Admech has some cowboy esque models
And GSC has that one guy with three hands and three guns
Genestealer cults
Coteaz isn’t a marine, but I can’t decide if he’s Spanish, Latino or South African
Several
IIRC Crimson fists have mix Spaniards and Latin American sounding names last time I heard
Modify the Arkan Confederates a bit and you're almost there
I wanna see a Necron Dynasty be more focused on the Mesoamerican side of their inspiration ngl
Arkhan Confederates
guh
smile
Necrons are full egypt
theres no Mesoamerican
Guh huh Banjo riff
The kelermorph model literally has a western style poncho lol
they are literally fucking confederates
A Mesoamaerican styled dynasty would still be sick imo
I guess?
necrons are cool already
Would that not be the fan expansion for Rainbow Warriors?
Oh yeah ofc
you mean how they build their Monoliths?
They're racists, they've got the names and are based on the right time period. Just make them kill natives and you're there
Thats all made up
Its kinda Mesoamerican design wise?
40k stole everything from lovecraft and starcraft
I mean in general of the entire culture of the dynasty
Rainbow Warriors basically got ZERO lore
ah
their Mesoamerican thing is fandom created
Yeah that’s why I said fan expansion
Obsidian Jaguars are just based on Aztecs and no one cares about them
not that there's much to them either
I blame the name, it’s pretty clunky
If it was Space Jaguars they’d be fine
They can join the Space Wolves and the Space Sharks
Clunky either way imo
Obsidian Jaguars sounds cooler tho
Another proud Ultramarines successor though
nothing wrong with that

So do Vylka Fenryka and Carcharadon’s
But we all know what they really are
No nothing wrong with it, I want more weird successors
Minotaurs are Iron Warriors
I did like the theory they were World Eaters but alas
shoo
Space sharks is literally just the official "slang" term for that chapter
Oh I’m a fucking dumbass lmao
Carcharodons is the primary name
Wow I severely misunderstood where the Incan empire was located
I definitely need to do my research on them lmao
That’s the joke, that space jaguars would do better because of the space wolves and space sharks
Like Space Wolves is the imperial name for the chapter but they call themselves Vylka Fenryka. Space Sharks is the translated name for Carcharadon Astra
incans spanned a wide range no?
Yeah but it’s nowhere near where the Aztec and Mayan civilizations were from what I’m seeing
yeah
They've just got weird little mummies around the place because that area is way too dry
also from what I remmeber a gian tunnel system that is off limits to tourists
A lot of monumental architecture was around yea, too bad the Spanish decided to show up
and the nefarious yankee
Which Necron models still need updates?
I know of Trazyn, normal Lokhust Destroyers and Zahndrekh and Obyron
incas didnt make it to the spanish
they were already in shambles ala rome with the goths
Pizzaro didn't help things much
aztecs on the other hand

don't think anyone
should be too sad the aztecs got nuked
have a cool
They were cool, sad so see a real G gone
One day I'll go see a real ball game played in the old fashioned way
Much bigger, and also potatoes
The Aztecs were fked up for the standards of the time
There is a reason why every so many tribes fought with Cortes
I know lol thats why I said what I did
yeah the humane way is shooting, SA-ing and pillaging while dressed up
Js agreeing
Nah dont get me wrong cortes was a mutinous dickhead too
But the Aztecs killed and enslaved on the daily
Like more so than usual by alot
The industrial amount of human sacrificing was probably one of the main reasons most trides sided with the spanish
Thats what happened when centuries of just grabbing other tribes and use their hearts for rituals
Tbh spanish did the same too
Yep
both of them sucked
one is just more feral about it because... well they're tribesmen
the other are killers in "civilized" clothes
I'd agree with basically any of the other empires the spanish destroyed
True enough, js saying that if the aztecs were less fucked up maybe the tlaxcala and tarascans wouldnt want to kill them more than cortes lmao
but nah the aztecs were specifically that bad
But iirc

As bad as the spaniards were
They were in it for the love of the game
The aztecs were worse
chaos style
not the spanish the aztecs
top text
Spanish were in it for money and shiz
Warcraft III gameplay
The aztecs were basically pre great crusade cadia
Yeah and dont forget Spanish El Dorado

Personally I'd rank the conquistadors worse but that's me
Yep, moeny
Savage is a savage
they were pretty much world eaters

Too civilised
Spanish Empire Greed and hunt for the gold made a disney movie

Even if the civilisation was based on human sacrifice, mass enslavement, cannibalism and genocide
peak spanish propoganda
The spaniards were dicks for what they did to the inca
The aztecs and spaniards were douche on douche

this is still one of the best parodies of the ric andre show
its terrible
legit earsore
you really can tell the period this video was made in lol
thats fair
TTS should have announced they drop it than called it Hiatus

Its clearly they want to stop
like 80% of the population dead in 150 years is genuinely staggering to think about
this land was promised to me by god
It's funny that the T'au empire treats the Enclaves like the Imperium does to the T'au
AKA: "We could totally conquer you. The problem is that if we try that, then all of our other enemies would jump our ass, so you get to live... for now."
Watch out for this channel you guys
Tbf I think most of that is from diseases rather than murder
But it's still substantial
clearly from this picture the khan was white
I swear that non-mongolian white scars exist
A lot of it was diseases but they were also wiping out culture and going around massacring people
in 30k they had that one who was born with the most fake scandi name on Terra
Torghun Khan born as Haren Svensellen, thats the lad
any black marines are just marines that were stationed on planets with stronger suns

melanin is lioterally useless cuz they cna change skin colors based on environments no?
Born Haren Svensellen in Terra's Scandinavian region, Haren dreamed of joining the Luna Wolves and had a great reverence for their Primarch, Horus. However, due to his cadre of aspirants passing more candidates than their target, Haren was reassigned to an under-strength legion, the White Scars
funny guy
No backwards step

with a name like behind the grind its already a clue on what they are 
also a space marine pfp
The stereotype creates itself at this point
The amount of times I've seen the first picture used in complete sincerity defending genocide 
absolutely
I remember him accusing another space marine 2 youtuber for aimbot
in reality he uses Aim Assist due to being an Xbox Player
guys, is there any lore on how each class deals with diarrhea
Take anti-Diarrhea pills
wait shit
I thought irl

Uh, like hippos do
In the HH novel he becomes Great Khan

idk i was just thinking cause ogryn probably just lets it out, arbites dog eats it
(Company Captain)
IIRC they probably have medical Pills to handle sickness
They do in Horus Heresy Book. Terran Marines are described to be different ethnicities compared to the ones living in Chogoris
But in modern 40K IIRC GW mixed in None-Asians in the White Scars painting guids iirc
This guy needs a punch in the teeth
Yeah and although SMs usually use their home planet, I think SM chapters also collect aspirants from wherever generally
Usually planets that are (more than usual) destitute which means that their aspirants are tough!!

Like the context was (forgot his name) Content Creator was a console player and he had aim assist on. BTG accuse him of aimbotting in his videos because he gets consistent headshots. People pointed out that Aim Assist is on because on consoles it auto adjust to where you point at

Yeah, I think Salamanders are kinda the only ones exclusively from Nocturne because they used an Apprentice System to recruit new marines.
They find anyone worthy to mentor in their homeworld and then let them do trials
So by that logic, a lot of SM chapters should have a variety of ethnicities
Yeah
Not all of them ofc
But ironically enough, I think chapters like the Black Templars would be very diverse
"I'm not racist, I'm just xenophobic"
Imperial Fists canonically are the only chapter allowed any recruit to keep their culture than assimilate
Salamanders also have this thing called uh
Actually having them keep a relationship with their families

Its canon Imperial Fists allowed Gangers, Nobles, Stone Age Warriors or even Bronze age style culture in the chapter
Cultural tatoos and ganger tattos are not forbidden
its encouraged

clans system

White scars does it better
Salamanders are the only ones allowed to see their families and even they are encouraged to mentor the new generations

Vulkan allowed his sons to visit their mothers and I dont remember reading white scars seeing their families again

Inviting Uncle Ra'shan to the annual family BBQ
Now I'm imagining a Imperial fist being like
"I learned this as a kid.."
Shoots their bolter sideways with one hand

You know we never have any story featuring caveman recruit and hive ganger recruit story as a comedy

imagine the shenanigans entails when doing shit for the chapter
True but they replace it with something deeper
They view the legion/chapter as their new family
"The Legion is their people now"
true, like what vin diesel said. Family is the strongest

Honestly, a lot of guardsmen in general are recruited from various different cultures.
Each with a different way of worshipping the Emperor
Bond stronger than blood
Tbf whitescars were pretty meh to me but learning more about them
Essentially, canonically, the Emperor is different to each culture
For some, he's a sun god, others maybe a God of War
Etc. etc.
The only similarity being their praise of him and their servitude
So... I can imagine some wild religious arguments
it is actually
It just GW wont give us upgrade sprues
💀 
White Scars are by far the best legion/chapter. The books, the lore, the the way they preserve their culture, the methods of war.. all of it. Huge fan of the White Scars. Only the Black Templars can compare imo.
I like the Chaos legions better
Counter point: nuh uh
Loyalists generally don't interest me that much
Idk why
Maybe it's because I like the spikes

Loyalist 40k are kinda stale
30k now were talking
So yeh chaos for sure are currently the most interesting in the current setting for me too
Listen, the typical "My faith is my shield" is fun
But I really like
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD."
"SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE."
Has a better ring to it

Traitors have more varied backstory than loyalist
thats why ALOT of people enjoy chaos
For sure the traitors have wayy cooler warcrys too
Hydra Dominatus
Chaos and the warp is something I wish GW went deeper into.
There also exists minor gods of the warp. Chaos and one non chaos
I AM ALPHARIUS
Warhammer Fantasy explored it
sadly they removed it
Ave Dominus Nox
Yeah and that was cool
Too bad 40k has jack shit
Night lords, alpha legion, and death guards my top 3 for sure
Honestly I like to imagine that the Eye of Terror has an... Approximately annual fashion show
Hosted by Slaaneshi daemons, it's time for people to strut their fashion!
Word Bearers have same too
Also I think the only Chaos faction that is dripless is the dark mechanicum
And that's because...
They look almost the same as regular
They have more now in Legions Imperialis
but its not allowed on 40k TT

The dark mechanicum being a descendent of the mechanicum doesn’t help
They still have the same culture and traditions
lol
More recent traitor mechanicus are funkier
Yeah I think they should at least have differently colored robes at least.
Since they still wear red robes
They don’t want to lol
Why the fuck should they
They’re the TRUE MECHANICUM
THEY’RE THE REAL MARTIANS
And it's not like you can tell by how fucked they are since well...
The Mechanicus already look like abominations. It's hard to go further
Werent they bringing new lore to vashtorr
Vashtorr has had quite a bit of new lore
Issue is he hates mortals
He fucking despises them
It’s one thing kept consistent with his character through all authors
Mortals are the weakest chaff to fuel his ascension
Honestly I thought of maybe having their robes be a form of orange.
Similar to Mars currently.
And he despises them, they’re inefficient
That would be ryza dark mechanicum
"THE FLESH IS WEAK"
Well that's just sad
Not sure how will they transfer Legions Imperialis into 40k
Ryza slaughtered them all
They literally tortured the ringleaders to death and hung their corpses up
lol
Again, dark mechanicum is dripless as a result since they barely look any different.
At least daemon machines are cool as fuck
They won’t mini wise
They’ll be dif minis
For 40k and 30k
Sounds about right

So he barely interacts with them presumably because he hates them
...
true
No he interacts with them
He just fucks them over with his contracts even harder
It's horribly passive aggressive isn't it
He makes his contracts more convoluted for mortals
But part of me thinks MAYBE they port one HH model and legally allowed in 40k in terms of one unique unit from Admech
All of the admech and Mechanicum range is in both time periods aside for. The castellax
Would he be pissed if a mortal actually successfully notices all of the pitfalls he wrote in
Which is obnoxious
Somehow
No
He’d be pleased
Castellax is broken
Because it proves they’re not entirely worthless
More so too many of them went batshit insane during the heresy
Castellax automata cannot kill a titan lore wise
They lack the proper firepower unless massed
And it’s gona be a lot of them
...
Vashtorr is growing higher and higher in my "Warp gods that are interesting" list.
But I have to ask.
Who are a majority of his worshippers then?
N/A
mortals who don’t know better
He steals power from the other Gods
He literally feeds off the chaos gods
They pay him
He gives them stuff
He tricks other daemons into contracts
Vashtorr is basically contractor
Yeah
Also he steals other gods daemons and enslaves them in an endless debt loop
The gods do not like this but he gives them shinies
So they’re okay with it
I assume Tzeentch daemons are a no go for him then
They are
... I would say something now...
Not all of them are perfect
Either that or are very entertaining
Hell naw bro.
Damn Vashtorr truly is built different
Literally

@opaque coyote laaFor a full list of lesser chaos gods btw
The Raptor god(ess)? Only gets referred to with feminine pronouns or none definitive ones
Vashtor the arkifane
Malice
Isn't Belakor one?
Tau?
No
Or would he just count as a Daemon Prince
Daemon Prince
Tau’va might not be a chaos god
And might just be a warp god
These are actual Chaos gods
Oh also the dark king
Tau?
But he isn’t awake yet
Huh.
Didn't know the raptor god was possibly female
(Zamn!!)
Most likely something similar to how the Eldar gods are
Is it bad I kinda want the “Emperor is the Dark King” to happen
it would interesting thing or dan fucks up

Imagine Star Children plot line is just beserk or Anime Shonen Protags using the power of friendship to beat their dad
Right now is it correct to say the paths for the Emperor is set up to be either the Dark King or the Star Child?
Both
I want what Dan is smoking and the type of crack he is willing to mix in.
Its The Collective Evils of Humanity vs Emperor’s Empathy and Compassion into descendants

I mean
Since we know Faith has power in 40K
And the people worship him as a malevolent god of conquest and human supremacy
And we feed him 1k Psykers a day
Wouldn’t the Dark King become the chaos god of sacrifices?
yeah
Its gonna be dark souls level of how The Evils of Humanity is over powered and the Human Empathy and Compassion is a level 1 Ashen One

Bruh
I searched Dark King on YouTube and I keep getting videos about Rayleigh from One Piece

Dan Abnetts true plan
He will finally finish one piece
wait a minute
🤔
A new short came out recently that I think really summarizes what I want Dark King Emperor to be like
A comic that we were graciously allowed by Grimdorables to dub. Made with the assistance of @burialgoods !

Man his animations hit hard
Ppl watch this and understand why the Terminus Decree exists
Whatever gets up off that throne ain’t gonna be Big E

No it will be. But like stated in the video, it will be a cruel god of their own making
Still big e but different now
Faith has power
And they made him something worth fearing
read Eisenhorn and drink chocolate milk
That’s not a question smh
Way to get my hopes up
or watch Hunter The Pareting and drink chocolate milk
It's hard to choose
both sound great.
Each episode only gets cooler and cooler.
I think I'm going to first clean off my table then decide.......
Hunter is making me wanna start reading Carmilla
PLUS D is going to be in this episode
and I have to hear his insanity.
Honestly, again, I prefer that he just breaks into several shards
One of them being a "growing" dark king
Given that the Emperor has so many different interpretations by so many different planets
It would make sense that he can't really have a defined form anymore as a result
So he splits
Who’s to say that isn’t already happening with how some BT get visions from him, Psykers could be in contact with him (seer), and his mind seemed heavily fragmented when he met Guilliman
Because the thing about the Chaos Gods is that they have a defined domain.
The Dark King and Star Child seem like the main two fragments that are at war with each other
Yeah exactly
Along with the star child's existence. I think it would be interesting to have a bunch of mini-emperors essentially.
Could also explain why he's so inconsistent
He was always a collage of thousands of years of identities in one body
Honestly with the rate we're going
The Dark King represents Humanity’s violence and desperation, and the Star Child represents their hope and heart
Maybe GW is preparing the Imperium is gonna get split
I’m def expecting some sort of Primarch v Ecclesiarchy civil war
I mean it already is but I think it is interesting if the Imperium officially shatters
We got Roboute, The Lion, Governors and etc
It is
Basically uh
The Imperium finally falls to mankind's oldest phenomenon for nations and empires
Balkanization

I do expect one more primarch to return before any declaration that would start the civil war begins
I hope the Leman Russ Odin theory is true
THOSE ARE DA THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME???
...I really want to post a specific meme but I'm pretty sure I would be banned so have this instead
No no
Are we ever going to achieve the point where the Imperium like actually collapses on itself
real
It is, just extremely slowly
Remember Dawn of War IV has Blood Ravens working WITH the Dark Angels
there is not confirmation we're the Lions sons
but faster with the emperor waking up and choosing violence.
Its just that The Lion Saving the Blood Ravens means my Chapter owes him a favor

When GW needs more money
Well technically he is awake, he is just chair bound right now like he’s taking the hardest dump of his life
Yeah
It feels like GW wanted to mix things up
With Opressive shit balanced with hope for a better future
He isn't dying because of the throne or Horus's wound
He's just taking a shit that he spent the entirety of the great crusade holding it in
Robute is kinda trying to reform the Imperium
Personally I see it like this: Corpse boi on the throne is the conduit for the all the fragments going through the warp, guiding people and reaching the people of the Imperium.
Dark King is the one guiding the Ecclesiarchy and more fanatical believers in God Emperor
elite shitters
thats a good point

Competitive shitting
very gentley.
He always seems to be in his terminator armor
I can't imagine him trying to write

Dark King needs worshippers, and goody goody for him the Imperium is ripe fanatical, self sustaining worship. Not to mention they feed him powerful Psykers everyday feeding him more warp energy
Maybe he has something like this
Yeah

The Imperium is speedrunning the creation of a new chaos god (not as fast as the Deldar did tho
)
Tbf objectively the Eldar took longer
We're getting a new record
maybe Dan is writing both incase GW does wanted to have reformed imperium vs dark king's vision of the Imperium

Do I believe one day Big E will get off the throne? Yes. But right now there’s a warp war happening between the fragments to see who gets to claim the body
Basically they existed for millions of years and only caused Slaanesh to be born around the very late 20th millennium?
I think Emps has a plan to fucking shit himself and explode his body if that happens
And that is what I believe the Imperium civil war will ultimately be about
Both sides doing what they believe the Emperr wants them to do
Terra might be the homeland of humanity, but it ain't worth it if there's a dark king
But each side’s “Emperor” is a much different one
So humanity is actually pretty fast at making a Chaos God LMAO
I know Vulkan's Sons, The Khan's Sons and Corvus sons will do whats right for the citizens
If we count DK (hehe) being made the second he sat on the Golden Throne
That’s like what?
10k years?
everyone else will stay loyal to the Emperor's Vision
It would be wildly funny if the Marines Malevolent somehow stayed loyal even with the Dark King
Like they somehow haven't fell to Chaos

They make Iron Hands look sane
Hide the game of "kick the kids"
hilarious
Banana Slamma the other Chaos gods into dust
hm
Wait
How much longer will gw milk 40k in its current setting
Russ will return wisened after meeting with the Star Child

He’ll return like an Odin esque figure
Embracing his Psyker powers
Imagine this scene.
He comes back with a long beard, looking full of wisdom
And then he shouts
THE ONE PIECE
"WHERE THE FUCK IS MAGNUS I WANNA KILL HIS ASS"
Wait wrong story
I feel like as he begins to accept his Psyker powers he’ll sort of understand why Magnus did what he did tbh
It would be funny if he learned absolutely nothing
He's still the same as he always was.
You know what would be interesting? If Omegon is secretly working with the Star Child. Getting close to chaos partly because of his brother (rip bozo) and partly to use the tactics of deception, espionage and sabotage to fight them and stay close to the Star Child
Cause, ya know, Alpha Legion is about deception and infiltration at the end of the day
I think it would be interesting if when Alpharius died.
Omegon got a piece of his soul before he disappeared
He is now
Alpharius Omegon!
...
God that was cheesy

Damn we killed chat
