Which commissar was it mentioned yesterday who executed a guardsman who survived an ambush for having spent no ammo

Not even a medic, it was a normal guardsman dragging a comrade back during an artillery barrage and Wolfer watched him shoot the guy

Orcas are more closely related to, say, the bottlenose than the bottlenose is to the yangtze river dolphin iirc

nothing really, they are just goofy guys

they do eat other dolphins though

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.

storm jungle
#

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

vagrant fox

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"

lmao

vagrant fox
#

I've seen some very tan Inuits in Greenlands summer months too

languid meadow
#

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

vagrant fox
#

Yeah it's extremely bright all of the time

#

Sunburnt lips are very cool most assuredly

storm jungle
#

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

wary fulcrum
# languid meadow I do wish we had art for the southern islands

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

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

Imperial Fists canonically are the only chapter allowed any recruit to keep their culture than assimilate

opaque coyote
#

Allowed to whar

#

Ah

abstract vector
#

sorry I type fast

opaque coyote
#

Salamanders also have this thing called uh

#

Actually having them keep a relationship with their families

abstract vector
#

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

abstract vector

#

White scars does it better

abstract vector

Salamanders are the only ones allowed to see their families and even they are encouraged to mentor the new generations

"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

Bond stronger than blood
Tbf whitescars were pretty meh to me but learning more about them

opaque coyote
#

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

abstract vector
#

It just GW wont give us upgrade sprues

#

💀 staregryn

#

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.

opaque coyote
#

I like the Chaos legions better

lament shoal
#

Counter point: nuh uh

opaque coyote
#

Loyalists generally don't interest me that much

#

Idk why

#

Maybe it's because I like the spikes

glass drum
#

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

opaque coyote
#

But I really like

#

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD."

#

"SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE."

#

Has a better ring to it

abstract vector
#

Traitors have more varied backstory than loyalist

#

thats why ALOT of people enjoy chaos

glass drum
abstract vector
#

the warbands can be varied in ideology and philosophy compared to the loyalists

#

Drip alone there one of the best

opaque coyote
#

Hosted by Slaaneshi daemons, it's time for people to strut their fashion!

abstract vector
opaque coyote
#

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

arctic talon
#

The only difference is some spikes and mutations

#

Lul

abstract vector
#

but its not allowed on 40k TT

arctic talon
#

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

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

They don’t want to lol

#

Why the fuck should they

#

They’re the TRUE MECHANICUM

#

THEY’RE THE REAL MARTIANS

opaque coyote
#

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

glass drum
#

Werent they bringing new lore to vashtorr

arctic talon
#

Martian dark mechanicum wear red

#

Because mars is there’s

arctic talon
#

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

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

And he despises them, they’re inefficient

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

If they didn’t all get slaughtered

#

lol

#

Ryza number 1

opaque coyote
abstract vector
#

Not sure how will they transfer Legions Imperialis into 40k

arctic talon
#

They literally tortured the ringleaders to death and hung their corpses up

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Again, dark mechanicum is dripless as a result since they barely look any different.

At least daemon machines are cool as fuck

arctic talon
#

They’ll be dif minis

#

For 40k and 30k

opaque coyote
#

...

abstract vector
arctic talon
#

He just fucks them over with his contracts even harder

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

He makes his contracts more convoluted for mortals

abstract vector
#

But part of me thinks MAYBE they port one HH model and legally allowed in 40k in terms of one unique unit from Admech

arctic talon
#

He pulls this shit on Abbadon lol

#

Where he fucks if the moment it’s fufilled

abstract vector
#

after that EVERYONE is reskinned admech

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Which is obnoxious

opaque coyote
#

Somehow

arctic talon
#

Because it proves they’re not entirely worthless

abstract vector
#

Holy Fuck it can kill a titan

arctic talon
#

Castellax automata cannot kill a titan lore wise

#

They lack the proper firepower unless massed

#

And it’s gona be a lot of them

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

He literally feeds off the chaos gods

#

They pay him

#

He gives them stuff

#

He tricks other daemons into contracts

abstract vector
#

Vashtorr is basically contractor

arctic talon
#

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

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

They are

burnt maple
#

... I would say something now...

arctic talon
#

Not all of them are perfect

opaque coyote
#

Either that or are very entertaining

jade holly
#

I dare you

burnt maple
#

Hell naw bro.

opaque coyote
#

Literally

arctic talon
#

@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

opaque coyote
#

Isn't Belakor one?

abstract vector
#

Tau?

arctic talon
#

No

opaque coyote
#

Or would he just count as a Daemon Prince

abstract vector
arctic talon
#

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

abstract vector
#

Tau?

arctic talon
#

But he isn’t awake yet

opaque coyote
#

(Zamn!!)

arctic talon
#

They get referred to as she/the huntress like

#

Twice

#

Ever

abstract vector
#

isn't the Tau a chaos god?

#

or just entity?

arctic talon
#

No

#

The tau’va is a warp entity

#

Unclear if it’s a chaos god or not

opaque coyote
#

Most likely something similar to how the Eldar gods are

jade holly
#

Is it bad I kinda want the “Emperor is the Dark King” to happen

abstract vector
#

Imagine Star Children plot line is just beserk or Anime Shonen Protags using the power of friendship to beat their dad

jade holly
#

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?

abstract vector
#

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

jade holly
#

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?

abstract vector
#

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

jade holly
#

Bruh

#

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

abstract vector
#

He will finally finish one piece

#

wait a minute

#

🤔

jade holly
#

A new short came out recently that I think really summarizes what I want Dark King Emperor to be like

abstract vector
jade holly
#

Ppl watch this and understand why the Terminus Decree exists

#

Whatever gets up off that throne ain’t gonna be Big E

lament shoal
#

Still big e but different now

jade holly
#

Faith has power

daring creek
#

Guys

#

question

jade holly
#

And they made him something worth fearing

daring creek
#

read Eisenhorn and drink chocolate milk

jade holly
#

Way to get my hopes up

daring creek
#

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.

opaque coyote
#

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

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Because the thing about the Chaos Gods is that they have a defined domain.

jade holly
#

The Dark King and Star Child seem like the main two fragments that are at war with each other

opaque coyote
#

He was always a collage of thousands of years of identities in one body

abstract vector
#

Honestly with the rate we're going

jade holly
#

The Dark King represents Humanity’s violence and desperation, and the Star Child represents their hope and heart

abstract vector
#

Maybe GW is preparing the Imperium is gonna get split

jade holly
opaque coyote
abstract vector
#

We got Roboute, The Lion, Governors and etc

opaque coyote
#

Basically uh

#

The Imperium finally falls to mankind's oldest phenomenon for nations and empires

#

Balkanization

jade holly
#

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

abstract vector
#

The Lion Wins

#

because he has blood ravens

#

he can steal the enemies relics

jade holly
opaque coyote
daring creek
#

Are we ever going to achieve the point where the Imperium like actually collapses on itself

abstract vector
#

Remember Dawn of War IV has Blood Ravens working WITH the Dark Angels

#

there is not confirmation we're the Lions sons

daring creek
abstract vector
#

Its just that The Lion Saving the Blood Ravens means my Chapter owes him a favor

jade holly
abstract vector
#

It feels like GW wanted to mix things up

#

With Opressive shit balanced with hope for a better future

opaque coyote
abstract vector
#

Robute is kinda trying to reform the Imperium

jade holly
#

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

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

Hold things

#

That are small

daring creek
#

very gentley.

opaque coyote
#

He always seems to be in his terminator armor

#

I can't imagine him trying to write

jade holly
#

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

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
jade holly
#

The Imperium is speedrunning the creation of a new chaos god (not as fast as the Deldar did tho staregryn)

abstract vector
#

now that I think about it

#

With Grimm's comment

opaque coyote
#

We're getting a new record

abstract vector
#

maybe Dan is writing both incase GW does wanted to have reformed imperium vs dark king's vision of the Imperium

jade holly
#

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

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

and if Dark King wins…

#

Let’s hope the Grey Knights can actually do something

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

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

opaque coyote
#

Terra might be the homeland of humanity, but it ain't worth it if there's a dark king

jade holly
#

But each side’s “Emperor” is a much different one

abstract vector
#

Roboute is gonna consildate the Imperium

#

First Founding Chapters would be split

opaque coyote
abstract vector
#

I know Vulkan's Sons, The Khan's Sons and Corvus sons will do whats right for the citizens

jade holly
#

That’s like what?

#

10k years?

abstract vector
#

everyone else will stay loyal to the Emperor's Vision

opaque coyote
#

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

jade holly
#

They’re pragmatic

#

Not heretical

#

really… fucked up… pragmatic

opaque coyote
#

Sure

#

Let's go with that

jade holly
#

They make Iron Hands look sane

opaque coyote
#

Hide the game of "kick the kids"

daring creek
#

hilarious

jade holly
#

Though if they were to pick a side

#

Def Dark Kong

#

fuck

opaque coyote
#

The dark king

#

Circa 50th millennium

abstract vector
#

Donkey Kong wins GOTY

#

he becomes the dark king

jade holly
#

Banana Slamma the other Chaos gods into dust

daring creek
#

hm

jade holly
#

Wait

daring creek
#

How much longer will gw milk 40k in its current setting

jade holly
#

Wait

#

Big brain

jade holly
#

Russ will return wisened after meeting with the Star Child

#

He’ll return like an Odin esque figure

#

Embracing his Psyker powers

opaque coyote
#

And then he shouts

jade holly
#

THE ONE PIECE

opaque coyote
#

"WHERE THE FUCK IS MAGNUS I WANNA KILL HIS ASS"

jade holly
#

Wait wrong story

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

It would be funny if he learned absolutely nothing

#

He's still the same as he always was.

jade holly
#

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

opaque coyote
#

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

jade holly
#

One became two and then two became one

#

Now we have 3

#

Or is that 4

jade holly

Damn we killed chat
