40k-lore-chat

[arctic talon]

and its also extremely valuble

[jade holly]

Omfg I just got that one realm is water, the other if life and vegetation

I’m so dumb lmao

[arctic talon]

well

Aqshy is fire

Ghyran is Life

[jade holly]

[arctic talon]

which includes water

[surreal nest]

I think thats a healing item in Darkwater

Very cool

[arctic talon]

Yeah it is

thats why its so valuble

[surreal nest]

Have you played darkwater?

[arctic talon]

I have not

[surreal nest]

Damn

[jade holly]

Necrons if instead of biotransference they just beat space cancer by losing their skin

[arctic talon]

but it was the currency in cursed city as well

which makes sense

[surreal nest]

There's a character who can roll a dice before discarding an item and I was able to heal like 50 health total from a d6 flask because I kept rolling 6's

[arctic talon]

lmfao

hilarious

[surreal nest]

Game is unironically extremely good

[jade holly]

CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG

[arctic talon]

anyways its main denominations are
drops, phials, spheres

then for large quantities for mass trade
quarter dram, dram, gill and tun

[surreal nest]

LITERALLY

[arctic talon]

drops are the most common form

[surreal nest]

I hope Tabletop Simulator workshop can get their hands on Darkwater

[jade holly]

Reminds me of the skill deck in Payday 2 that gave you a flask of alcohol that you drink when you take heavy damage to just negate it lmao

[arctic talon]

with even the poor having them lol

[surreal nest]

How exactly do you trade a drop of water

Can you like drink it too

[arctic talon]

its usually measured out with pipettes + put into other vessles for storage

you can drink Aqua Ghyranis

[surreal nest]

How fucking annoying it must be that you can trip and fall and lose 30 bucks

[arctic talon]

tbf

[jade holly]

It’s the same way before money cultures used resources and livestock as the currency

[arctic talon]

you keep them in containers for a reason

the containers are very durable generally

not made of glass

unless you're really fucking rich and want to show off

[surreal nest]

Why is the water so valuable if its from a realm that just shoots it out?

[arctic talon]

because its a specific type of water

[jade holly]

Nurgle took a bath with it

[arctic talon]

that has realmstones in it that have magical properties

[jade holly]

Or that sure

[arctic talon]

also yeah nurgle literally shat in a pool of it once

[surreal nest]

So hypothetically is this lady just essentially flicking coins at people

[jade holly]

Our grandfather blesses our water

[arctic talon]

if she is using aqua ghyranis yes

she is literally shooting coins at people

Aqua Ghyranis is effective against chaos forces

it literally burns the corruption on them away

[jade holly]

Funnily enough, not even the first time I’ve heard of money as ammo

[arctic talon]

its too valuble to be spent like that generally

[surreal nest]

It says it's pure liquid from the everspring

[surreal nest]

ROR2 CROWDFUNDER MENTIONED

[arctic talon]

it is but not all water in the ever spring is aqua ghyranis

its also impossible to counterfeit without spending more money

💀

like you will spend more money getting the realmstones

grinding them to the proper ammount

not overdosing it

and then processing it lol

Aqsha's school of alchemy tried

they got it right once, the other results should probably not be spoken about

considering we know what happens when too much life magic floods your body

[surreal nest]

Ok so hypothetically just speaking

How much would be the conversion rate to USD

Like a drop for a dollar?

[arctic talon]

the head of one Gor is worth a phial

so uh

how much is a dead bandit who kills people worth irl

[jade holly]

I’d answer but idk

[surreal nest]

Im just trying to figure out how much USD my Bren Tylis drank last darkwater game

[jade holly]

[arctic talon]

well

let me see

[jade holly]

If you pawned him off at a pawn shop you could get a down payment on a mansion

[surreal nest]

You drank all my damn milk give me my milk back bitch

[arctic talon]

A dagger is 20 drops

of Ghyranis

going by the price of a decent quality dagger irl

[surreal nest]

Yeah so this mf drank the whole damn mortgage

[arctic talon]

150$ for a dagger of good quality but is produced enmass irl

💀

[dapper gyro]

150 for a quality dagger? That's wall decoration price.

And by dagger, I mean like fighting dagger and not just double edged utility knife.

[near wasp]

Ok so not dead but a bounty hunter might earn 1500 for a fugitive on the low end

[arctic talon]

interesting

ty

[arctic talon]

whats the price for an actual on

*one

I was using google and got lazy

or decent one ig

[near wasp]

I just calculated average bond prices in the us and the commission a bounty hunter gets if they catch somebody in violation. I feel like it's the closest analog to a bandit

[dapper gyro]

For a dagger the size of those medieval - renaissance time, like 20cm blade+, you are looking at minimum 200 US$ for actual quality.

[arctic talon]

makes sense

[surreal nest]

Damn how dangerous is a gor???????

[dapper gyro]

Very few modern style daggers are that size and they is about the same price. Dagger is inherently harder to make since the blade is thinner because of the double edge. Using cheaper one is actually scary.

[arctic talon]

I mean Gor's are stronger then normal humans, faster and tougher

also they're inherently juiced up by Chaos + can literally teleport and they usually live in bumfuck nowhere

[dapper gyro]

Same thing with big knife, cheaply made one is a big hazard to the user.

[arctic talon]

also not to mention what Gors will yknow

do to you

if they capture you alive

you see if you're lucky its just getting tortured and murdered

@surreal nest a Phial is 10 drops for context

ultimately there's also other forms of currency

per city ect.

but aqua ghyranis is near universal

[daring creek]

@crystal forum new plur episode out I think

[crystal forum]

WHAT

holy shit yes

season finale

ITS HERE

dont worry guys i will finally shut up about pluribus soon!!!

[jade holly]

Wait, how many Grey Knights are there?

[arctic talon]

1000+ including support staff + officers

[dapper gyro]

1000

[jade holly]

Oh

[arctic talon]

excluding trainees

[jade holly]

oh no

[crystal forum]

lame 40k shit

[jade holly]

The terminus decree isn’t a plan to stop Big E, it’s his menu for when he gets hungry getting off the throne

[dapper gyro]

Could be

Feed him with the best psyker essence available.

[jade holly]

Imagine the clusterfuck if that’s true. The closest Custodes die seeing Dark King rise, one manages to escape to warn the rest. The Grey Knights show up and it leads to a fight of the Custodes trying to stop them from becoming Dark King food while the Grey Knights think the Custodes are just following orders to protect Big E

[tough haven]

At least 6 or 7

[jade holly]

That’s it you’re being fed to Big E first

[tough haven]

I’m not a psyker

I’m a blank by virtue of having so few thoughts I have no reflection in the warp

Bro I’m continuing to run my 40k campaign and gods the party is acting 100% like real 40K side characters, and dumbasses in a horror movie, and I don’t know if I should put a stop to it or exploit it

[jade holly]

Exploit it

Release the Flayed Ones

[tough haven]

Can give details if desired

[jade holly]

I don’t need details, release the Flayed Ones

[tough haven]

Did that already, everyone nearly died, now we doing orks

To shake up the threats they’re facing

[jade holly]

They won’t expect the second round of Flayed Ones among the Orkz

[tough haven]

Buuut, that doesn’t mean necrons aren’t involved at all, when you piss off a lord, you bet your ass they are sending people to kill you

[jade holly]

Ah my favorite petty elders

[tough haven]

Also we have dark mechanicum assassins sent as well, the party has really managed to hit a trifecta of pissing people off, it’s actually astounding

[jade holly]

All you need to is piss off an Eldar Forgeworld

[tough haven]

An eldar forgeworld?

Don’t believe those exist

[jade holly]

Craftworld

💀

Eldar is my least interested faction

[tough haven]

Well the party is half Aeldari, so that will be tough to do

I doubt they will actively fuck with the eldar

[jade holly]

Those dumb knife ears can keep seething over the superior metal bois

[tough haven]

In fact it’s the one faction they’ve aided

Besides imperium

Cause imperium benefits from any other faction suffering

[daring creek]

Speaking of.

Is each chapter really only 1000 or are there funny workarounds and loopholes?

[tough haven]

Depends on the chapter, the codex non compliant ones definitely don’t abide by that

[heady rivet]

It Depends

The 1000 marine limit is only imposed on "battle line" Marines, so roles like Librarians, Apothecaries, etc are uncapped. Vehicle crews also dont count. And on top of that, you're allowed to go over the 1000 during crusades. AND the Codex is more suggestions than guidelines, and even Guilliman himself is real lax about it and sorta doesnt care. Really the whole fear of "legion building" is rarely an issue

[tough haven]

And for those that do, there’s almost definitely some squirreled away in an “offshore account” of sorts

[heady rivet]

That being said, having over 1000 marines isnt easy anyway, so its not like any chapter is intentionally holding back

[heady rivet]

That too, the Space Wolves are a few thousand and just dont care

Black Templars famously have POSSIBLY up to 10k but they're both on constant crusade and NEVER in one place, spread all over the galaxy

[heady rivet]

Interesting note is that Guilliman also confirms that recruiting adults is just as possible but its easier to indoctrinate them as children rather than as adults. During the Great Crusade they just grabbed anyone in some Legions, especially during the Heresy

[daring creek]

@crystal forum This is genuinely the one show that can make a perfectly natural smile so disturbing

[late verge]

Honestly crazy how much more character the chaos marines in sm2 have

Theyre so much more interesting and fun than the loyalists

[dapper gyro]

Actually, the biggest example is the Lion's adopted father.

That guy became a SM. So minimum time to when the Lion was discovered, he was well into adulthood even if he wasn't before.

[opaque coyote]

...

Hear me o-

[heady rivet]

In terms of pure scale it'd be the Marines during the Heresy, especially among the traitors. Dont recall the specific name they had for them, some sort of pig latin. Imperial Fists did the same, once or twice iirc. Losing the ability to mass-produce Marines is just yet another thing the Imperium has lost

[opaque coyote]

They look like

they can give very good cuddles

[dapper gyro]

More because of indoctrination

[heady rivet]

"Inductii"

[opaque coyote]

I think Amon turned into an SM as a adult

But I swear it's mentioned that they have an even lower chance if they're an adult

[dapper gyro]

The more relaxed standard during the great crusade was problematic.

The night lord had a lot of adult candidates.

[opaque coyote]

It could also be similar to the "faux-Astartes" like Luther and Kor Phaeron.

Where they were gene enhanced but aren't "proper" SMs

[heady rivet]

This is the Imperium at its height tbf, so they also could afford to "waste" the process and materials on failed aspirants. So wanting to weed out the worst is another reason nowadays

[heady rivet]

Both existed, but the "Adults into full marines" were more common. Kor got special treatment because he was Kor. Also Kor was too old for the FULL thing, as opposed to random underhiver 25 year old that got to be a Night Lord/Imperial Fist/Iron Warrior

[heady rivet]

Night Lords my beloved

[opaque coyote]

I swear the NL preyed on teenagers instead liek the space wolves

...

that sounds bad

but it's the truth

[heady rivet]

Oh they preyed alright

[opaque coyote]

but seriously though I thought it was mainly teenagers

[heady rivet]

Generally it was a "16-30" affair across the board. What each Legion looked for varied a lot over time and locale. The Terran marines were basically just "Any guy in that whole tribe/ethnicity"

[opaque coyote]

Does it change in 40k or is that still the case

[heady rivet]

Although iirc pretty much everyone named in the HH books was taken young

[arctic talon]

generally the issue is more so that a chapter can't go over 1000 marines due to attrition and training time

by the time a new marine is trained up fully

to Chapter standards

a marine is dead

[opaque coyote]

Apparently like I think around only 1/10th of the aspirants actually live through the gene seed?

[arctic talon]

It takes like 20+ years to fully train a marine to chapter standards

[opaque coyote]

and that's not including the training which often will kill some people who aren't strong enough

or are just unlucky

[heady rivet]

It Depends, as always. Ultramarines recruit from military schools across the 500 worlds (With noble families bragging they have members that got picked), Imperial fists get from Terra and Necromundan underhives, Space Wolves make teenagers fight monsters and bring back trophies, etc etc. Everyone has their own Thing now.

[arctic talon]

assuming they're remotely following the codex

lol

[heady rivet]

But generally most loyalists go for youngins

[arctic talon]

bcs most chapters have something resembling the codex training method for Scouts/aspirants

[daring creek]

@crystal forum ||It doesn't intervene until your life is indanger. Remember when it compared working on The Joining™ to saving a child from drowning?||

[arctic talon]

because its really useful

[daring creek]

[dapper gyro]

IF has like 4 different recruitment worlds.

[opaque coyote]

This is gonna go into weird territory but fuck it.

So Space Wolf Marines seem to kinda lose their sex drive which makes me wonder if they just...

lose their sexuality all together.

[arctic talon]

All marines lose their sex drive

[opaque coyote]

I think SMs just all become Aroace

It's not like there's time for it anyways

Except the Emperor's children. Good for them?

"y my pp hard" - EC during the beginning of the HH

[heady rivet]

Space Wolf aspirants usually bang a girl before they leave their village for the last time and then brag about it for literal centuries for the aura and vibes

They arent like "God-Emperor, I loved it" its literally machismo

[opaque coyote]

...

tha tis

so fucking stupid that it actually makes sense

[arctic talon]

that was due to chaos corruption tbf

[opaque coyote]

yeah ik

it is funny to imagine them freaking out a little bit at having that part uh...

kicked into gear

after potentially hundreds of years

[dapper gyro]

That's why the dreadnought was incorruptible.

He just didn't have that part anymore.

Therefore no understanding of the corruption.

[heady rivet]

Space Wolves are real into that, just joshing around with the lads

[opaque coyote]

Although that is yet another dehumanizing factor of SMs

as funny as it is to laugh at them basically not understanding romance

they never really had a choice

especially the ones kidnapped as kids

[dapper gyro]

Some do

You can love and romance without sexual connection.

[opaque coyote]

at least the teenagers have slightly better decision making

...

only slightly though

it's just one out of the myriad of other things

that SMs have stolen from them basically

[opaque coyote]

True, and it's not like being Aroace is bad.

But like I said, they never really know the full process or anything.

[heady rivet]

Marines on both sides are accurately described as aroace, and I'd even say the Emperors Children are too. EC arent into the act, its the stimulation and sensation of it. Slaanesh is the dopamine God(dess) and it just so happens monkey brain had to incentivize reproduction

[opaque coyote]

And again, it's only one thing out of

[heady rivet]

Hence why Slaaneshi cults end up lookin like Hellraiser

[opaque coyote]

a lot of things

[dapper gyro]

Death scythe knows the process. They do the selective breeding after all.

[daring creek]

I know someone who'd want to touch this

Actually

two I think

[opaque coyote]

The act gives you stimulation and sensation therefore they're into the act

[dapper gyro]

The sperm is collected from the best individual, who would later become SMs.

[opaque coyote]

but tbf they also would have the same for like

drugs

torture

etc

art

[heady rivet]

My case exactly, its just dopamine to em, not sexuality

[opaque coyote]

fair enough

[heady rivet]

If you put an EC in front of a button that made dopamine run through their system they'd press it 3 times a second for 20 hours a day like those monkeys

[daring creek]

Gooning

[opaque coyote]

tbf wouldn't it be the same for some people?

[heady rivet]

It'd be the same as those monkeys that it really happened to

[opaque coyote]

although that is definitely the point of slaanesh

excess

[heady rivet]

Thank you John C. Lilly. 100000000 dead dolphins

[opaque coyote]

excess of sensation

excess of pain, pleasure, and everything in between

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to that dolphin he drove to suicide. RIP in peace, Peter

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/pinhead-no-tears-hellraiser-good-suffering-torture-gif-5298813

[opaque coyote]

Shout out to that one daemonette who made a painting of fulgrim out of shit, piss, and other... fluids

in of course

Fulgrim (the book)

[heady rivet]

Hellraiser is just Slaanesh, 1:1 to how it is

[dapper gyro]

The female pin head though. They know what they were doing.

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah somebody actually made a safe recreation of it

(note: it isn't made out of fluids, just regular paint)

[heady rivet]

They're called cenobites 💅

Shoutout to House Delaque btw

Necromunda shilling commenced

[dapper gyro]

Isn't pin head the name of a cenobite?

Cenobite is the group of those creatures.

[opaque coyote]

This is the painting that caused Fulgrim to grab the laer blade and get possessed btw

A fan made version

[heady rivet]

Yes, but the "female pin head" you presumably refer to the female cenobite

[opaque coyote]

Like I said, made out of various fluids including shit, piss, semen, etc

And also actual paint funnily enough

[heady rivet]

I think she's a nun, canonically?

Or was

[opaque coyote]

With people staring either in awe or in disgust

[dapper gyro]

No blood, weak.

[heady rivet]

All the cenobites have backstories. Pinhead was some British soldier or something

[opaque coyote]

There's also blood for the red

It's just that there's a lot of fluids

To the point where it of course smells awful

[dapper gyro]

Pinhead is a ww1 combat medic, I think.

[opaque coyote]

But it's also entrancing to the point where people stare at it in awe or in horror

[opaque coyote]

I liked it when the cenobites didn't really have any backstory

They were just these... Things

Angels to some

Demons to others

But explorers of experience to all

[heady rivet]

Btw to pivot back to Space Marines the funniest thing you can do is imply Space Marines are genetically tied to certain behaviors like a damn dog

[arctic talon]

thank god they aren't lol

[heady rivet]

Like half the White Scars successor chapters are into vehicles

[arctic talon]

aside from like

Blood angels lol

who have the worlds worst daddy issues

[heady rivet]

Genuinely funny

[heady rivet]

But they should be

I once joked a chimera chapter of Imperial Fists and White Scars would be into tanks but its not even a joke anymore to me

[crystal forum]

holy shit

@storm jungle look it's the rebirth of eternal

i can't believe my eyes

[opaque coyote]

Holy shit

@heady rivet what do you think of the iron hands

[heady rivet]

My friend played em, loves em. He's into AoS now, big into Khorne. Great guy. His custom chapter (lets be real everyones thought of one) is a successor of em too

[heady rivet]

Blood Angels be like "I got my whole crusade ahead of me"

No you dont, the black rage is coming

[opaque coyote]

Magnus: "I have the worst daddy issues!"

Mortarion: "No, I do!"

"Horus?"

MnM: "huh?"

"HORUSSSSSSSSS WHY DID YOU BETRAY US"

MnM: "oh shi-"

[heady rivet]

Or Imperial Guard, Sister Order, Tau Cadre, Genestealer Cult, etc and etc

Its inevitable

[lofty mason]

Considering the massive number disparity between common human infantry and and Astartes, are most battle fought just only with regular guardsman and without Astartes support?

[heady rivet]

Pretty much all of em, yep

There's, at most on-paper 2 million loyalist Astartes in the entire galaxy (Assuming that magically every Chapter is somehow at full-strength. Which they arent)

So the vast majority of fighting is done by the Guard, with Astartes showing up to only the big stuff

[lofty mason]

~2 million? Bruh, scifi writers are very funny with scales. That's like 2 Astartes per world 😂

[sacred ginkgo]

Luckily they exist in quantum superpositon and just appear where they need to be (where the writers want them)

[heady rivet]

Yeah but you have to remember that like 99% of wars are just Guard coming in and curbstomping rebels, minor cults, small waaghs. And even when Astartes deploy, most of the deployments are dropping a squad into the enemy headquarters and slaughtering everyone and leaving. We only hear about the BIG and interesting conflicts

[arctic talon]

Yes

99.99999999999999% of the time Marines are not involved

and if there are marines involved its usually like

30 of them

💀

or less

most warzones do not need a full chapter

[heady rivet]

And the funny part is that 1:1 a 40k marine is better than the 30k marine due to the difference in training and doctrine

[arctic talon]

only exceptionally shitty ones or ones close to marine homeworlds or one marines have a vested interest in

and yeah a 40k marine is worth like

literally 10 30k marines in terms of roles they can cover

lol

[heady rivet]

There's a short story where one (1) marine drops by on a planet and bodies a party of Drukhari that were raiding it. Its like the first Marine the planet saw in millenia

[arctic talon]

Elemental council has probably my favorite depiction of a marine

[heady rivet]

40k Marines are special forces and the 30k Marines usually are "Get em" in terms of strategies

[arctic talon]

where one Marine is basically coordinating an entire Gurellia war against the Tau

Started out with 5 marines and now its just him left lol

[heady rivet]

Since the Great Crusade was 90% dropping 10k Marines onto one planet and taking it and leaving with a huge human garrison

[arctic talon]

if you asked a 30k line marine how to drive a plane they'd just look at you and say wtf

if you asked a 40k line marine that they'd be able to do it fine lol

40k marines kind of just do everything a chapter needs

which is funny

[heady rivet]

Unironically the chapter-based system does the Imperium far better than the Legion system

And even during the Great Crusade you have elements of the Legions acting as chapters themselves

Which is what gave Guilliman the idea

[arctic talon]

Guilliman basically pieced together the codex and chapter doctrine

by looking at what worked best + what worked within Legions lol

bro basicially stole the Sons of Horus playbook word for word in terms of battle tactics

[heady rivet]

Love unit organization, me and a friend were literally making tables for this in another setting just the other day

[queen laurel]

Even marines that are like drunk and like drinking do that?

like marines that just like want to kill people and just charge at the enemy

[arctic talon]

ngl

I have one complaint for AoS

I want more army organization stuff in its lore

[heady rivet]

We do a little adderall

[arctic talon]

we only have charts for the Cities of Sigmar, Ossiarchs, Stormcasts and Chaos Warriors(archaons personal nerds specifically)

[heady rivet]

For a wargame we're throwing together to be dorks ofc

[arctic talon]

looks fun

then again GW never made organizational charts for all the WHFB factions

so maybe AoS is cooked just like it 💀

[heady rivet]

Note this applies to the Gallian regulars, as for whatever reason the Gallian militia SKIPS batallion organization in favor of a ton of companies managed by one poor overworked captain. Although its implied a LITTLE the Gallian militia is mostly attached as independent companies to the Regulars lole!

[queen laurel]

I love the organization charts for the Orruks

[arctic talon]

oh shit they got one

[heady rivet]

RAAAAAH I LOVE ORGANIZATIONAL LORE

It also reflects on the society of course, where you place value in how you organize your units

[queen laurel]

hell Sons of Behemat have one

Yes it's structured like feet

[arctic talon]

that

barely counts

💀

I'm killing GW if they do not give sylvaneth a chart this edition

[queen laurel]

well it shows a hierarchy don't it works

[arctic talon]

lol

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to this mess

[queen laurel]

[arctic talon]

why does Destruction

the least organized faction

have the most charts

this is literally 1984

[queen laurel]

gloomspite

[plush mason]

does this imply the navy out ranks the navigators?

[heady rivet]

Yesnt

On-paper maybe

In practice, no

[plush mason]

classic

[celest dome]

The Navy's Brass and the Ship captains do outright outrank the Navis, but the peons of the Navy don't

[heady rivet]

But in practice the Navigator houses hold a lot of power, so its not just ordering them around. Its just as frequently an exchange. They scratch each others back

[plush mason]

yeah you cant really afford to piss off the only people that can get you into and out of space hell "safely" no matter who you are

[celest dome]

They have to play nice, there are multiple Dynasties and they have to answer to the Navy 1st

[storm jungle]

No.

Banned.

🫡

[daring creek]

I was the same way I was really a contrarian

Now that I'm not in that space no more

[heady rivet]

You can directly rank how good or bad a fanbase is based on the amount of Old Man Yaoi within it, not even joking here

[daring creek]

I feel I can enjoy the series a lot better now.

People who have GER vs Goku discussions deserve a brick

[heady rivet]

The most Old Man Yaoi fandom I know sparked a revival in public interest of polar exploration

[daring creek]

Genuinely

the most pointless fucking discussion

ever

[heady rivet]

Goku btw

Can you come outside

I don't have any blunt objects or anything like that

[daring creek]

HAHAHA

[daring creek]

I go like

Why do people hate things just cuz theyre popular?

looks at the jojo fandom

hmm.....

The glazing becomes annoying

[storm jungle]

Because its fandoms are annoying

[queen laurel]

I think it stems from the fact that if they are too popular you see too much of them and sometimes if you see too much of them you get sick of them

[storm jungle]

and people dont like seeing that shit infiltrate everything they like

[daring creek]

like really fast lmao

[storm jungle]

its the same with 40k

im watching a video, i scroll down and its like

OMAGERD GUYS THIS IS JUST 40K

ITS LIKE THE UNIFICATION WARS ZOMG

like, get a life

💀

[queen laurel]

Basically this

[daring creek]

zoinks.

[queen laurel]

Oh no guys helldivers and 40K would get along so well because they are both bad settings man shut the fuck up

[daring creek]

The algorithm sure does do that...

[queen laurel]

Just the constant infiltration and seeing a thing you're not interested in interact with the thing you're interested in is gonna make someone mad

[storm jungle]

its funny because super earth would get nuked in like a week

[daring creek]

Maybe its part of the reason I dislike fortnite

[storm jungle]

mfers could barely resist the Illuminate

[daring creek]

too many things at once

[storm jungle]

Fortnite doesnt really do that

it just advertises multiple things

its fandom doesnt sneak into anything

[daring creek]

Right right. I dunno it kinda just throws me off with hoe much bs is added out of nowhere

I blink and suddenly the scout dwarf from DRG is in the fucking game

on a fucking SIMPSONS map

[storm jungle]

Its good tbh

its free advertisement

and gets people into some fandoms most arent aware of

[daring creek]

Hank HIll, Bobs burgers, whoever the hell.

[storm jungle]

ala Dead Space (LOL)

[daring creek]

Ah that skin too

:l

it's something alright.

[storm jungle]

i like it

[daring creek]

Fuck you

[storm jungle]

Eat my balls

anyway

[daring creek]

okay

[storm jungle]

its the same way people joke about "nooooo i dont want a space marine in fortnite"

acting like uh

[queen laurel]

[storm jungle]

marines havent been toyified by GW already

[storm jungle]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

[queen laurel]

are you really sure that's a smart idea

[storm jungle]

THIS MAN HAS LITERALLY MURDERED CHILDREN

anyway i like Art so ill let it pass

[daring creek]

They're just killer funko pops

[storm jungle]

jesus thats perfect

[daring creek]

Literally look at them theyre the same base just different coloring

[storm jungle]

Yep but 40k fans cant accept it lol

its like that scene in Toy Story

https://tenor.com/view/you-are-a-toy-toy-story-sheriff-woody-buzz-lightyear-gif-5228329

40k is such a serious setting guys

[heady rivet]

This is why Necromunda...is simply better

If I didnt already have an abysmal pile of shame backlog and financial smarts I'd start an Orlock gang lole

[queen laurel]

Dilara

the grabber is in the game

i think fortnite lost it a little bit

[storm jungle]

Who is this

[daring creek]

The difference is you can probably lick the paint off miniatures/figurines for nourishment during the apocalypse

[daring creek]

Jerma

Obviously.

[heady rivet]

Child murdered from The Black Phone

Or something named along those lines

Iirc

[storm jungle]

If only, that means he'd get the electric chair and stop bothering me

[storm jungle]

Sounds about right

[heady rivet]

Do you guys think the crew on Imperial ships have shanties or do you lack a human soul?

[queen laurel]

he's also a p word the prays on boys

yeah i know

[heady rivet]

The funniest thing that media does is take real shanties and change words to make it about space

[queen laurel]

not exactly a very nice thing to add to the game

[storm jungle]

Already a thing.

[heady rivet]

[daring creek]

Hm

[heady rivet]

I already rewrote some lyrics to make a shitpost about Morrow once maybe a whiteboy might fuck around and shitpost about the Mourningstar

[daring creek]

Eisenhorn spoilers ||it's easy to forget that Eisenhorn literally cannot smile anymore. that has add on a sort of intimidation factor to him||

[wary fulcrum]

Have you read Magos

||Eisenhorn can smile now, but might not necessarily be fully human anymore||

[daring creek]

||He is able to feel happiness and even laugh, he can smile but not in a way most can notice. its probably super subtle unless you've been with him for a while.||

[daring creek]

Hm

No I have not

Maybe I'll read that soon

a book I wanna touch now though is Mechanicus

cuz Im suddenly curious about the admech

I need to put more time into reading Horus Rising so I can finish that book as I am reading Eisenhorn

[daring creek]

||He literally smiled after his explanation of how he discovered ancient an xeno artifact caused a whole argument during a congregation lmfao.||

[storm jungle]

its just inconsistency

[daring creek]

||Definitely looking like a hardass||

[storm jungle]

also its VERY hard to remember a character "cant" smile because its one of the most repetitive facial gestures you can make a character due in literature

also Abnett does like 50 other things in-between writing 40k novels

he very much just forgot lol

[daring creek]

Maybe buttttt I'm gonna see this like a Big Sleep thing :p

The author definitely didn't forget to write something due to his alochol problems

surely

[storm jungle]

Warhammer fan cope for inconsistent writing kills me

[storm jungle]

[celest dome]

Writers forgetting minute details is effing normal

[daring creek]

Philip Marlow drank a whole lot now that I think about it

[celest dome]

I'd say they're not machines, but seeing AI, even machine aren't as good as expected

[storm jungle]

best you can do is take notes

[daring creek]

mhm

[storm jungle]

but even thats asking a lot after writing a whole book lol

[heady rivet]

Ah, Brits

[daring creek]

My guy is AMERICAN thank you very much!

The Big Sleep was kinda difficult to read ngl

my english teacher deadass drew what he guessed whatshisface house looked like

Honestly made the book a whole lot more engaging

Oh well no time to ruminate on the past

Or else I'll just go insane!

[heady rivet]

Ah, Yanks

[daring creek]

I'm yet to make sense of this handsome man. Probably not paying attention hard enough to see how it ties to the story.

Huh

one day I woke up and my mattress spoke to me

weird ass sleep paralysis demons toying with me

Does anyone else get that?

Like sudden attacks of being unable to move

and hearing weird noise.

[storm jungle]

What are you talking about

💀

[daring creek]

Sleep paralysis!

when you're laying down, can't move

can't even speak

then weird shit happens!

Like it feels like you're only barely managing to lift your arm to try and pinch yourself but

you haven't actually moved at all

and you literally cannot scream for help

Its quite scary! Especially when the auditory hallucinations are sounds of like a crowd speaking or what sounds like an argument

but I learned to just wait it out.

At somepoint I should read Carmilla

mmm

153 year old vampire yuri....

[daring creek]

My mother is my Micheal Scott

I have to destroy her with missiles.

[wary fulcrum]

It’s one of my favourites but I still re read it because there’s parts I don’t get

I love the driver dying and the kick off in the film

For everyone else, basically they rang him up and asked him who killed the driver and he started shouting at them about reading the book

So then he reread it and rang them back and was all ‘my b, I forgot to put that part in and now I can’t remember’

[daring creek]

Thats what my teacher told me lmfao. In my essay for the book I wrote that the guy who killed one dude with cyanide offed him.

cant remember his name that well.

[wary fulcrum]

I’m partial to a bit of Mike Hammer too

But fuck me is it toxic

[nocturne crest]

Anyone got any idea what is going to be revealed alongside Huron?

[celest dome]

His friends

Thing the rumours were Armanneus and Garreon

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if they'll have red wolves as a model.

[surreal nest]

Canonically how long ago has it been since the primaris phase?

[celest dome]

Unlikely

[nocturne crest]

Chaos Dreadnoughts?

[storm jungle]

Yriel the Corsair Prince

and Captain Badrukk

thats what the leaks said

[rose thorn]

A pirate v pirate v pirate show down

[celest dome]

I think Merry more so meant who/what else in the Red Corsair will happen

[storm jungle]

idfk idgaf about red corsairs

[valid needle]

Probably a command squad

[valid needle]

Within 100 years

[celest dome]

Doesn't mean that everyone doesn't

Huh????

Wha????

[storm jungle]

let me fix this

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[tough haven]

Would an ynnari have any words about death and what comes after for humans? I know for aeldari they would probably have words of comfort or promises for the whispering god to save their soul

[storm jungle]

Not really no as far as we know.

an eldar wouldnt give a shit about a human they just met

same in reverse for a human with eldar lol

[tough haven]

Thinking of dialogue for a ynnari ranger merc talking with some rogue trader's soldiers

And the situation is grim

Morale is low, and theres a good chance the group will die

[storm jungle]

Whos the battle against

[rose thorn]

Similar topic, if your soul goes to the warp when you die wouldn’t it release warp energy when you die as well?

[tough haven]

Orks

[storm jungle]

No because you are the warp energy

[storm jungle]

Probably that they'll be horrifically murdered and to not let it happen lmao

[near wasp]

I slept for 13 hours....

[rose thorn]

OHHHHHHHH ohhhHhhh okay that explains a lot

[tough haven]

I imagine a "You're all going to die, your corpse Emperor will not save you, you will suffer in the warp for all eternity, now go on and fight"

[storm jungle]

thats uhhh

[rose thorn]

Sorry my warp powers come from the gods

[storm jungle]

a bit too smoothbrain human-esque

[tough haven]

Fair

[near wasp]

Kinda like how when you kill a daemon and it's energy goes back to the warp

[tough haven]

I figured theyd tell them just how fucking awful the afterlife is to motivate them to not meet it

since aeldari know this very well

[rose thorn]

So is the Carcharadons shark magic bullshit and other chapters with special animal themed warp magic just use the souls of their symbolic animal lmao

[storm jungle]

"The curtain falls upon our brief, pathetic drama. Look to your master, the enthroned carrion king, for He might offer you all salvation. I see our souls, even now, twisted and undone, our very essence scattered across the Warp's hungry abyss for all time. Let our last possible act be the valiant dance of battle to deny the sea of souls its primordial embrace."

[celest dome]

Isn't that unique to the Space Wolf's Fenris spirit stuff ?

[tough haven]

Damn, did you write this?

[storm jungle]

Yeah lmao

[tough haven]

Good shit

[storm jungle]

[plush mason]

peak eldar speech

[storm jungle]

my favorite kinds of pre-battle quotes are these

[tough haven]

Actually you got any good aeldari dialogue bits I can use for inspiration for my players that dont really know how to act like aeldari

[tough haven]

besides dropping the M word

[storm jungle]

god

[tough haven]

They picked up the slur right away

[plush mason]

ofc they did

[rose thorn]

Carcharadons have like shark magic, space wolves have space magic, I’m like 50% sure Minotaurs have special stuff too. Also a lot of CSM warbands have their own special magic too

[storm jungle]

Honestly unless they know eldar i cant really help, the biggest pitfall people do when they play elves is play them as arrogant assholes

nobody takes tips from Legolas

so i dont think i can help lol

[tough haven]

I just mean their language mannerisms

I meant like any book dialogue snippets from 40k

[storm jungle]

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

[plush mason]

that speech and Theodin's have gone down in history

[tough haven]

Well to be fair this character is an arrogant asshole

[storm jungle]

its peak

[storm jungle]

Very original

[sacred bluff]

boromir dies...

[tough haven]

he's a former corsair that was reborn by the ynnari and tries really hard to act like that didnt touch him deeply

so he keeps up the arrogant asshole act staunchly

[plush mason]

btw what do the corsairs do with their soulstones?

are they sent back to their original craftworld?

or do they get plugged into their ships

[storm jungle]

Yes.

Basically out of respect they are returned or just conjoined with the ship spirits, depends on the eldar in question etc.

they got an entire unit dedicated to it

[tough haven]

Eldar with a DNR order

lmao

sticky note on their soulstone saying "Just leave it where it lay"

[storm jungle]

[celest dome]

But those aren't necessarily animal spirits, like the Salamander have one that call the heat of the furnace

It's more likely that those "animals" are ways to shape their power

[tough haven]

When the character joined up with the party his first reaction upon seeing a couple of humans travelling with another aeldari was And I quote "Oh are these your servants? How quaint."

Was on the planet hunting orks for sport and ran into the group

[rose thorn]

Oh yeah salamnders

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/uni-handshake-maxwell-cat-kitty-gif-522509285255605907

[tough haven]

The other aeldari player had some much better quotes from stuff they said like "You are not brave, you have merely forgotten the fear of death. Allow me to reacquaint you"

[storm jungle]

Much better

lmao

[tough haven]

Yeah the dude just pulled that out of nowhere

Our sister of battle player finally hit her stride though in roleplay

was genuinely chilling

sounded like a drill sergeant, which is so different from how she is IRL that I got tonal whiplash

[rose thorn]

Damn

[heady rivet]

In Rogue Traders Void Shadows DLC when you go to the family crypt ||you can find a hidden compartment with an Eldar one of the previous dynasty members clearly liked enough to bury among the honored dead. Its vague on the nature of the relationship||

So thats fun

[storm jungle]

Yeah makes Theodora keeping a piece of a craftworld in her office even worse lmfao

[heady rivet]

Insane just how comically crazy she was you almost respect the grind

[tough haven]

Would people in nihilus know of guilliman's rebirth?

[storm jungle]

Tbh

theres even worse Rogue Traders in lore

from slavers to literal genociders, so its not exactly the highest bar

but still pretty fucked lol

[storm jungle]

It depends.

the galaxy is huge

[heady rivet]

I mean he literally made Dante Lord Commander of the Imperium Nihilus so they have contact enough. Granted, there are worlds cut off galore. But news that one of the Emperors own sons is back and leading the Imperium is getting spread like the miracle it is so

[heady rivet]

Thats just the Imperial baseline, in all fairness

[storm jungle]

So and so

[rocky gale]

None of of the Command Crew in my RT game trusted our Rogue Trader, we were all constantly running the knife edge of wanting to win and achieve our goals but also undermining our Rogue Trader so they didn't become more powerful as a result.

[storm jungle]

most realistic privateer crew

[rocky gale]

There was a point when a Daemon infected the ship and started activating it's internal turrets vs the crew and everyone just assumed it was the Rogue Trader doing it because they were bored

[heady rivet]

Why did you play Rogue Trader like a Black Crusade group

[rocky gale]

The Rogue Traders personal goal was to become a Daemon Prince

[storm jungle]

LMAO

also like, even if they werent

rogue traders literally always surround themselves with scum

i dont really think this is that weird of a happenstance tbh

[heady rivet]

God forbid women do anything

[rocky gale]

My sororitas and the Dark Eldar Wych in our crew ended up as like second and third in command because the Rogue Trader thought we'd never collaborate against him, but in the end we trusted him less than we trusted each other

[vagrant fox]

Man a good Rogue Trader game is a very good time

[tough haven]

It’s not my cup of tea just because I think it puts you too high on the power scale

[rocky gale]

You can still die in an instant

[heady rivet]

Shame the only Dark Heresy game I ever got to run I was forced at gunpoint to run and hated every second of it

[vagrant fox]

It's fun to be king of asshole mountain sometimes

[rocky gale]

It was such a chaotic game, like our Astropath managed to figure out that the Inquisitor onboard was possessed by a Daemon, but instead of telling anyone he went to the Inquisitors room by himself and tried to shoot him with a laspistol without saying anything.

[vagrant fox]

That's certainly a decision

[rocky gale]

The shot hit the Inquisitors personal shield and then his bodyguards gunned down the Astropath

The rest of the crew then got a call saying "a member of your crew just tried to kill me, please keep that from happening again in future"

[wary fulcrum]

‘Minor inconvenience, your compliance would be much appreciated’

[vagrant fox]

Man my game was just about extorting the Imperium at large

I hate autocorrect

[rocky gale]

The player who was the Rogue Trader had so much fun being a deranged madman, they had a vest with 6 flintlock pistols which they insisted on using before charging in with their power sword.

[valid needle]

Yes. Because the blood angels run nihilus and they are the ones who told the lion Guilliman lived.

[vagrant fox]

Sounds like a good egg who knows how to have fun
I'm sad the Black Crusade game where I was allowed to have a belt-fed flintlock even if it wasn't as such allowed raw died before it got anywhere

[rose thorn]

Utter slop

[heady rivet]

You know whats not slop?

[shadow plover]

I love that set

would get it if I didn't have a leviathan already awaiting to be built

[rose thorn]

I FOUND THE CHAPTER THAT JUST LOYALISTS 1K SONS

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

[valid needle]

This is absolutely peak Maggie wdym💀

[vagrant fox]

whay

[rose thorn]

Its HH, not even new HH units just remakes of 3 year old kits

[valid needle]

The entire box is peak

[rose thorn]

There is zero new content

[valid needle]

HH is arguably better than 40K

[vagrant fox]

They're codex adherent they have a M symbol and one guy is called Eadmund

[rose thorn]

@arctic talon

[arctic talon]

💀

[rose thorn]

They are called brotherhood of a thousand

[arctic talon]

I’ve already made my opinion on 30k’s lore

lol

Very clear

And it’s that it’s boring because there’s no fucking variety and the loyalists aren’t enough of a bunch of pricks outside of the black books and rulebooks

I like the tabletop tho

[valid needle]

Maybe my opinion is biased because my favourite legion 30K scheme is much better than its 40K

[arctic talon]

2e rather

[arctic talon]

Just run one of their 2 successor chapters

With the red and black

[valid needle]

It’s not the same

[arctic talon]

Seeing as you don’t have the taste to appreciate green/hj

[valid needle]

I like the green I just think they looked better in the heresy

I do like AoV and Consecrators though

[rose thorn]

They also use the pre HH 1k sons symbol

Pre great crusade*

[arctic talon]

Also regarding this this is kind of inevitable for heresy

[arctic talon]

That GW will release every armor MK

Ever

💀

I do not like new cataphractii

[rose thorn]

It’s not even remakes of resin kits lmao

[heady rivet]

And yet they both pale in comparison to Necromunda

[arctic talon]

Why does it look like the power fist went on ozempic

lol

And the termies have a snatched waistline

I mean like, sure I guess? But this is supposed to be the biggest toughest conventional terminator armor

lol

[celest dome]

HH is mostly good if you're a SM enjoyer

[arctic talon]

If Tartaros ends up looking thicker I’m going to laugh and cry

[arctic talon]

Tbf legion specific kits go last, the breacher upgrades were resin up till recently

But yes most of the command staff are in resin still

[valid needle]

Never played it so I can’t say

[arctic talon]

Or non existent

Or GW is reselling the rules that used to be in the core rulebook for 40$

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-truth-true-soyjak-wojak-gif-14828627546768133163

[shadow plover]

wdym 3 year old, the old kits are old as fuck

[arctic talon]

We necromunda shilling today

[arctic talon]

The cataphractii kit is pretty new I’d say

Compared to legion specific and old command staff

It’s only like 8 years old

[shadow plover]

it's from the calth set, which is more than 10 years old

[celest dome]

We Necromunda shilling everyday 🤝

[arctic talon]

Is it more then 10 lol

[shadow plover]

and the breachers are from 2011 or something like that

[arctic talon]

Stop making me feel old

This cannot be true

[shadow plover]

Calth set is 10 years and 1 month old

[arctic talon]

Breacher sprue was not a heresy kit

Iirc

It was for Badab

Lmao

[rose thorn]

I don’t get like, they don’t look tough at all lmao, they look like if terminator armor was made by a 3d printer company

[arctic talon]

They look better in art for the new design

I really don’t get the snatched waist lol

[shadow plover]

the waist isn't really that snatched, it is pretty much identical to the old one, the rest is just taller which makes it look more thin

[storm jungle]

its pretty bad

[arctic talon]

They literally have an hourglass figure

[rose thorn]

LMAO THEY DO

[arctic talon]

Yaaas king slay

[shadow plover]

based

[storm jungle]

what did GW mean by this

[arctic talon]

Also the power fists look like they’re on ozempic

No insult to anyone on ozempic

But like ffs

[rose thorn]

You could make these into stormcasts with minimum effort

[arctic talon]

I WANT MY POWER FISTS FAT

Genuinely why are those power fists so small

[shadow plover]

yeah the fist is the only real problem with the kit, they're obviously going for a caestus look which kinda works thematically but doesn't translate as well

[rose thorn]

Also I think space marines having shields is one of trh stupidest designs made by gw

[arctic talon]

Nah

It’s cool

Smh

[storm jungle]

Its lame

[rose thorn]

Their armor is already the strongest metal the imperium has

[arctic talon]

Shut up

Smh

[storm jungle]

You shut up

Mr Yapper

[arctic talon]

Shields are cool

[rose thorn]

What’s the point of a shield

[storm jungle]

surfing

[arctic talon]

The same point of a shield irl, to help protect you from hits 💀

Why do chaos warriors and stormcast use shields

[storm jungle]

because they are cool

unlike slopmarines

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

see?

even you agree

[rose thorn]

Stormcasts use shields because it’s a medieval fantasy setting

[arctic talon]

Im killing you with hammers

[rose thorn]

Space marines can tank Gauss rifle shots

[arctic talon]

If you apply the same logic of marines to stormcast it’s dumb by your logic is my point

[arctic talon]

They literally cannot in lore

💀

They just die

My point is having a shield makes sense even if you’re in armor

Because more protection isn’t really a bad thing

[rose thorn]

Idk i saw enough tacticus ads showing them surviving Gauss rifle shots

Utterly unharmed

[shadow plover]

tacticus

[arctic talon]

tacticus

💀

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

This is like saying I watched a guardsmen survive getting shot by a las cannon in Dawn of war

I’m ngl

[rose thorn]

I am shitposting dw

[arctic talon]

I know

But it’s funny

Anyways GW give me a chaos warriors kit with great weapons

Now

They’re in art

You cannot deny me this

[rose thorn]

Saw an ad where a noise marine got stabbed in the gut by an eldar sword

[arctic talon]

It’s a pain in the ass to kitbash the existing ones with weapons like that

[rose thorn]

Then he just one taps the eldar

And walks off
