In cyberpunk the corps conduct actual wars
In fallout its mostly goofy human experiments
MetaCorp
(who are Nomads)
have a bunch of jackbooted enforcers and soldiers drawn from their Nomad families to act as muscle to protect their cargo
West Tek created super mutants and tested FEV on an unsuspecting town just to see what would happen
they are on the nice side for a corporation because they don't do horrific experimentation
however they will absolutely kill a homeless person
Based on the terminals you read in fallout most people worked for pretty normal companies iirc
Bethesda only shows us interesting stuff and that's often some goofy prewar thing
but like, they do not actively engage in perpetuating atrocities against everyone lol
There's examples of normal or somewhat nice companies in Fallout
like, as far as I'm aware General Atomics did not have a corporate death squad that extermianted Union members
now I could be absolutely wrong
Fallout companies are mostly evil in the way companies are now
I think robco might have
There was that one company making a mining suit to keep normal people employed and safe rather than get automated out by robots or whatever it was
Nuka Cola other soda companies would hire underground mercs to sabotage each other and kill each other's employees afaik lol
yeah but keyword is under ground
That's a cola wars joke though
Nicola literally has soldiers who shoot people who steal from their vending machines outside their HQ lol
Also don't forget coca cola had real life death squads
Strike breaker robots in fallout 76
Robco and general atomics were partners
US corps operating in South America 
its so fucking funny how the 4th corporate war wasn't even between arasaka and militech initally
it was just 2 small ass companies who ran dry on their own security forces so hired militech and arasaka to keep up the war for them
Night Corp literally gasses the sewers as a public service to exterminate homeless people living there.
legit feels like shit people would do IRL
I could see a dystopian version of Gavin Newsom doing this
"dystopian"

Las Vegas reponse to people drowning in the storm drains because they have nowhere to live is along the lines of damn that's crazy
believe it or not, another Maximum Mike W
I love approach of like
America outright bombs a country
Country cant do anything because US is a superpower
lmao
Im legit gonna laugh if like Venezuela legit just sits down and takes it since its not like they can exactly do anything either
I sure hope it's not the 2020 timeline of the South American drug cartels retialiting with a nuke
I was about to say thats way funnier
US causes a bio-plague
Cartels respond with a mini-nuke
America loses another foreign war
tale as old as time

tbh I think the equivalent is Iran, Russia, or maybe China selling them drones or other gear that just totally fell off the cargo ship
Pretty much.
Oh yeah i forgot Militech is literally xenophobic
boy I sure love sitting in front of a tsunami that's probably going to end the post-WW2 world order

Militech and Arasaka both being xenophobic is hilarious
tbh
not like its unrealistic
Japan
its a great motivation ngl
If you cant destroy America physically
why not dominate it commercially
🫡
I think I shall build another of my Skorpekhs
Dog how many times are they gonna show that kid getting out of a fridge in this Fallout show
Only twice more
Priming these necrons in black was such a mistake
Lesson learned
If i buy a patrol to do in this scheme its getting primed in white
Shoutout to the guy at the US battle bunker who walked me through painting a saurus 20 years ago you're a real one
That might have been my issue with painting them
I've been in the lab with primed bits and im literally base coating my tubes in white and blades in silver just so the reds don't look like dried blood
If you're doing the classic metals and green black primer is right i think
But its rough doing reds and oranges
Note to self: prime Necrons in white according to y’all
White or Metal
Nothing
It glorifies the eightfold path to freeball it
There are people who love and completely stand by priming black, but most prime white
a loincloth usually because GW can't show that
lame
but disembowelling 15 people is fine
🥀 💔
I just need to finish building the Warriors and my Combat Patrol is all built
god forbid a single gonad be witnessed
Do these warriors not have Tesla Cannons?
🙄
No, warriors have Gauss flayers or Gauss Reapers
It's the Immortals that have Tesla Carbines
The I know what I’m giving my Immortals when I build them (and actually get them)
and it's the big things like the Annihilation Barge which have Tesla Cannons
and also doing the word that rhymes with grape
maoist standard english now?
Vallejo silver basecoat experiment failed but white worked decently
@storm jungle
thats not maoist standard english smh
I need to figure out how to mix a brass, probably just gold and brown right
united $nakes of amerikkka or something right
Hell yeah Rika
I say one kind thing to you 💔
I thought you were talking about the style of english they taught in China rn lol
which is like a weird australian + american clusterfuck
Nah it's mao zedong humper slang
70% right 30% wrong
How peculiar, to continue the successful sinicization of Australia surely
Dark Heresy gotta release this year
the initial release is NOT REAL
I need to get my inquisitor grind on
it's an owlcat game the real release is like 3-4 years from now
malleus is kinda
kinda one note
at least we got some decent spy fiction out of hereticus
yeah bro and the note is daemons
the great rift tore the galaxy in half, I think we need a bit more of that note
literally everyone fights daemons malleus' special thing is that they do the thing that everyone does
hammers is lame
as opposed to... fighting aliens and dealing with cultists, things that famously only xenos and hereticus do
how dare you
eisenhorn, the famous xenos inquisitor, does malleus shit his whole career!
xenos isn't very interesting either though
eisenhorn does hereticus shit, don't get it twisted
eisenhorn doesn't even know what a xeno is
also part of the major sins of malleus and xenos is that they're associated with special chapters of space marines, which immediately makes them way less interesting
tbf
Hereticus has red hunters and crimson fists(sorta)
who are actually just a normal chapter
so nvm
they mainly employ sororitas anyway
Red hunters count tho
who commit the sin of being lame
also my introduction to 40k was through the original dark heresy rpg so
but anyways idk, my enjoyment of Malleus is dampened by the fact that they're kind of eh
I like Xenos and Hereticus a lot tho
lol
same twin, still malleus mogs
I still have the 1E DH book
i have the original shitass pdf i got from my gm
👎
of course the witchfinder would have basic tastes
I like the idea of a small group of scarred individuals sacrificing themselves against the ultimate evil to keep the world safe. It scratches the grimdark itch for me.
The codices have terrible snippets of Malleus inquisitors getting nommed or dying in service that go hard asf.
You will burn in the psy-furnaces for that one
Compeltely fine generic super-Inquisitor character
yeah sounds about right
This is why youre goated dilara
I'm going to commission a portrait when DH comes out of my malleus inquisitor
I like to hate on the other ordos but this is how I feel
I dont mind them
Xenos has Eisenhorn and I think ravenor
I wonder if the red corsairs characters will be in 1 box or separate boxes
I think Greyfax is Hereticus
also, and this is more of a general criticism of the inquisition, but any time a human tries to cosplay as a space marine it's kinda pathetic
Yeah i dont like it either tbh, I like unique armor designs
imo its likely seperate boxes
I like a lot of zealot armor in darktide because it scratches the armor itch for a normal person in 40k
How many space Marines like being creepy
Mfs would be so mad if a random chaos warband has more unique units than black legion
I really like the purity seal arm wrappings for that one zealot outfit
arbite kinda does this too
Like I feel like there are more space Marines that like being spooky
yeah but the Red Corsairs are awsome
lol
Lmao
no dog there's so many normal space marines
no like the Red Hunters literally like to just freak people out
lol
they like invading your personal space
make you feel uncomfortable

I would think it would be a box similar to saviors of cinderfall
this is just selection bias, you simply never hear about the fucking xth successor chapter of normal marines
...that sounds more like a neurodivergent person than anybody that's TRYING to be unnerving.
Then again Space Marines are also like 8 feet
So that'll definitely freak people out
Also they get a lot of memory removal lol
fr
Lowkey they’re lobotomites
There are so many normal marines its crazy
yeah, there's a deprecated source that says they're 6'6 out of armour, which i think is very funny because that's my exact height
Maybe gsc will get a surprise release in this pirate show down 
You're kidding
Need to call the Schola on ur ass and get u in Sister training immediately
kellermorph on bike
i'd wash out immediately
People would love that but we already have a jackal character
More copium my lord?
they DO have a lotta clocky jawlines in the sororitas though, so maybe there's a place for me
What if that's still the case
It's just that everyone else is shorter due to the lack of a healthy diet

Pls give us fucking rules for brood brothers
what the hell is a brood brother
oh those guys
just kissed sometimes
the most normal guardsmen
These
Completely normal guardsmen
Bob normalman
perfectly ordinary guards man
Tbh wouldn't rules be like
The same as guardsmen?
Yes but that’s what gsc wants
I guess maybe one unique trait but besides that, I think brood brothers for like every game mode would be exactly the same.
Since I think the 3rd-4th gen cultists are just regular people mostly
Why dont we just exterminate the bald
Like I don't think they get super strength?
Would get rid of our genestealer problems
Honestly I think the ridges are there just for like
Actual convenience
Hybrids are human +
They’re stronger and tougher then normal humans
Cause I like to imagine that they just look completely normal
Not to the point where they’re like eldar
khaki theft cultists really could pass for a stable strain of human
uh
Both fed on the same diet
most of them anyway
gunslinger buddy, maybe not
brood brothers are stolen valor
Bald person on the gym lifting a bit too much for their muscles?
Kill

Kellermorphs are gen 3
Gen 3 and gen 4 are very close
from who??
But Gen 3 usually have more genestealery features
guard drip
they’re actually in the military so no
lol
the guard doesn't have valor
No hair
guard drip is just c*dian drip
Cannot grow hair
their valor is their drip
9/10
Including like armpit hair, leg hair, etc.
Easy to weed out then
They can wear wigs and stuff
Just kill the bald
Shame having no hair is also a common mutation lol
imagine when they'll learn to wear wigs
i want to see these boys in powdered wigs so fucking bad now
Like is that ever mentioned or are they just bald on the top of the head
Or are they bald everywhere
Codex just says they cannot grow any body hair
So no hair
That explains why Everytime we see a GSC, they always wear clothes that cover their arms and shit
I would imagine that you could check for a GSC infestation in the guardsmen barracks by idk
Banning razors and see who hasn't grown any stubble or beards or whatever
true men of the imperium display their loyalty by not covering the bush
You could just take the easy route and check everyone's foreheads
GSC MENTION!!!
Also personal hc is that the ridges isn't actually that prominent. It's just there for us.
Some of their forehead ridges are less prominent
Some of them are really prominent
It varies
It’s like irl biology
meowth forehead lookin guys
How do you know this??? 
they are tyranid scales growing under their skin
you ahve to basically cut off a part of your skull
carapace i know
it grows from their skull
bonemashing my tyranid scale
Yeah I guess just wigs then
Or a doorag
Or a hat
this literally happens lmao
to better facemaxx in this doomed imperium
this too
IK
I can imagine a scenario like
The GSC daily ritual is over
They're going out for drinks
"Sorry bro you can't go with us"
you could do a lot of physical comedy bits with genestealers covering up their ridges
Yes sir! Glory to the Four Armed Emperor!
lower class citizensa nd the such usually dont notice, assumign its a mutation from the poor living conditions or a disease
Tbf I can imagine mutations would be fucking freaky enough that a ridge could literally just be like
Yawn
A few mutations are expected
the lower down in a hive you are the more tolerant people are of physical deformity
"Oh you got a ridge. Cool, I got 10 toes on one foot. I can barely walk due to the pain!"
We never see what an average hive citizen is supposed to look like though, Zola looks fine all thigs considered.
I think the creepiest part about GSC is that they probably act like
Completely normal
Until the time comes
Like a switch has been flipped
they probably give off cult vibes
^
like, a little too nice and enthusiastic to talk to you
i mean REAL cult vibes
I mean they probably have a lot of cults in general
Different methods of worshipping the emperor
Not even all bad or chaos or anything
ok i specifically mean cult in the sense of the abusive power structure
I feel like the death to the false emperor line is inaccurate
Genestealers often front as charities, so it tracks.
Gscs believe in emps
❓
things DO suck, we SHOULD try to improve things somewhat
Yeah I can't imagine what wide spread empire has an abusive structure and frequently encourages martyrdom
Brood brothers admech/votann whenm
LoV not possible
Bladed cog has brood bro admech
you know what i mean, foul imp
Gsc needs a xeno unit, like infected tau or something
GSCs also depend.
Like although they are often revolutionaries. Sometimes they go into other variations
That or the type to silently stare at you and track you with their eyes when you walk past
Bladed Cog I think is an example
i was thinking more mormon
Where they worship the blessed machine also
I didn't want to say space Mormons lol
Four armed omnissiah
Honestly, like you said, I can imagine GSC standing out by being too nice.
Since most imperial cults are more like
"REPENT REPENT FLAGGELATE YOURSELF"
Although tbf, some GSC also go into that territory
transphobic too probably idk i don't care to check
Definitely
Although Mormons in general are just weird
Still not the worst
That goes to Jehovah's witnesses
Fuck those guys
they're up there
Definitely
Also Mormon teens do some weird coping strategies for uhh
Relieving their urges.
i took an interest in cults a few years ago they're like
"Bro if I do this in a specific way, it doesn't count as sex. Trust me bro-"
jehova's is still around because they're not too crazy
I forgot what it's called
the ones who get too crazy get themselves into trouble
Well relatively anyways
They're definitely crazy generally

An inquisitor looking at the symbol on that banner the same way I look at someone's dogwhistle
the 4400 aspect of their ideology is definitely very funny since they got more than 4400 members though
only 4400 of you guys are going to heaven? what's the point of the rest of you being there then?
Just gamble (tm)
Yeah that part
I really don't get that part
Is it like some fucked up FOMO tactic?
reckon so yeah
well like i said, cults is an abuse structure
it's like a large scale abusive relationship between the leaders and the followers
I also just imagined like
A shitty mobile game market but one of the purchases is like
"Ticket to Heaven, 99% off! Hurry now, only 4400 spots!"

try not to crum (you'll go to hell)
Now I am imagining
Like
Due to 40k being Grimdark. Obviously even the Imperium does shitty mobile game esque advertisements
games on your dataslate
idk it's a little too feudal for free market capitalism in most places right?
True but I would imagine that wouldn't stop them
It's just that now, you have to pay a different amount of currency
Depending on the local ones
And it gets so complicated to the point where there's charts

And of course you have to wait days for the payment to go through
pouring 30 opaline seashells into an envelope and trying to squeeze it into the mailbox without crushing any of them
Right, but bladed cog offical models/units I mean.
True.
we literally have, look at necromunda
So I’m noticing there’s way more than 10 warrior guns in this combat patrol
Should I do 5 gauss cannons and 5 of the other kind?
How to make bladed Cog GSC
Step one remove arms
Step two replace them with "robot" ones
Step three, add mechandendrites
Done

God bladed Cog GSC sound like nightmares to fight genuinely
how many loose dendrites you got layin around?
Not like necrons level obviously
But still
Like you said, even the most human-like GSC are basically human+
So imagine them with robot parts
Imagine a genestealer with like bolters attached to it's arms

Imagine the claws being a set of power ones
Actually
Actually
Wild idea
Power Armor wearing Genestealers

Purestrain with extra mechandentrite claws
ye during a giant parade that happened when the emperor decided to retire from the great crusades and return to terra
it was after a big battle against orks on ullanor
it was pretty rare for all the primarchs to be in the same place
Are some primarchs way bigger than others or is the angle just a little strange
They have different sizes.
Does the GSC have any flying units?
Now go dunk all of them in leadbelcher
(Don't, Citadel metallics suck)
Who is the one inbetween Leman Russ and Sangy
The guy in the toga
Is that supposed to be Perturabo
Leadbelcher is like one of their best metallics 💀
Why the fuck does Perturabo look handsome here
And more importantly
What the fuck happened that made him decide to shove tubes into his head. He looked great
At least he should have kept the beard
Also
Alpharius and Omegon are missing (fitting)
And Konrad (or Corvus) as well
Ngl always found it funny how Corvus Corax and Konrad basically had the same hairstyle and face
konrad and corvus are filler primarch so
Fair enough
wasnt one of them killed 1v1 by a mortal
Tbf Konrad was trying to kill himself
So less a 1v1 and more "just kill me already"
"k"
assassin immediately gets stomped by night lords just after killing Konrad
Konrad let a Callidus saw his head off specifically
So he could make everything as envisioned lol
"Ah man how could I stop this fate? It is unstoppable!"
"you could like... move"
"Fate is truly inescapable"
Kurze was such a doomer he knew his foresight wasnt 100 percent accurate and still just let it happen
He needed it kinda, if he chose to deny fate and live it meant that he accepted he had no justification for all the fucked up shit he did under the pretense of having no choice due to his visions
death is nothing, compared to vindication
He just didn't wanna be responsible for his actions
Small animation i made over a few days,
based on that one venture bros meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o_DpQ7GO30
Thanks to Peepaw Chippy and the rest of the rivals porting discord for the models
...
"PLEASE SANGUINIUS I NEED THIS. MY CRIMES ARE KINDA PILING UP. I LIVE IN A FORTRESS WORLD I WANNA HELP MYSELF OUT."
"SANGUINIUS I SEE YOUR SOUL, WHY YOU TRYING NOT TO LAUGH BRUH. THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL AS SHIT BRUH."
Basically his whole later life was this lmao
Literally the Primarch of Bums
I do kinda feel bad for him lol

But he dug his own grave too
Red Corsairs, Eldar Corsairs, you know what this means…
Same reasoning for Magnus in my opinion

FREE BOOTAZ 🗣️ 🔥
Yeah and angron lmao
At least magnus' mistakes were all done with the best intentions, can't say the same for the butcher and haunter
40K gatana and felinid getting real
are the thunder warriors and missing primarchs there so gw can never expand on them to give the illusion theres more to the setting
I’m pretty sure the OG reason for the primarchs was for fans to make their own loyalist and traitor chapters
Even hallucination emperor called him an idiot
Well, depending on your view if it was a hallucination or if it truly was the emperor.
Either way works, coz if it was a hallucination it reflects how whatever sliver of sanity and loyalty in curze knew he was a massive hypocrite dickhead, and obviously emps knew too in the end
what if the imperium had twitter
?
this seems like a bad faith question to ask
sometimes its just cool to have a mystery or two
why do they need to be expanded upon? it's not necessary
There is nothing to expand or explain about thunder warriors lol
at least five planets blown up by exterminatus because an inquisitor got rage baited too hard
The thunder warriors and missing primarchs are background lore ultimately
Not everything needs in-depth lore
some of the unexplained stuff is GM flavor to work with
they served their purpose in the narrative
the missing primarchs are flavor for the setting
Bro off topic
Need a reason for two armies, including Imperium loyalists, to fit each other? Pull out one of the one-off mentioned artifacts
how tf do you have an 11 year old discord account
I made it in 2015
I mean
As one should
A friend said he didn't want to pay for a Mumble server anymore and told me to join this cool new free thing called Discord
I was about to say, who knew about discord in 2015 lol
We were still using mIRC
that makes sense
I pretty much dropped it in 2015, but a couple friends used it at least until 2020
Like genuine question
When people say they want more on thunder warriors
wtf do they even mean
There is nothing to expand on with them, they were slapped together, a bunch of shitty bio augments, and they were rotting to death by the end of it
I think there was one lone surviving Thunder Warrior out there during the Siege?
We have info on the unification wars in the black books
Yeah they died
I got nothing then idk
60 book series about the unification of terra ig
to punish black library
The great crusade is more interesting
Like dead ass
I wouldn’t want either but I’d take the great crusade over
And then thunder warriors beat them to death
Rinse and repeat
For every nation who resists but like
Hy-brasil
excited to RETVRN whenever they finally enshittify and ruin discord in a few years: https://youtu.be/BJYG5AbJCrI?list=RDBJYG5AbJCrI
Skype lul
rip I think they finally closed it down lmao
Damn
I really don't want to return to any of the 00s or 10s chat softwares
I just hope a new one will raise it's head from somewhere soon
I want stories about non-imperial humans being discovered
or at least interesting xenos
it's already enshittified tho
I love paying 10€ a month to be able to upload files larger than 8MB and stream above 720@30
my tipping point was the unique usernames
literally decided to get a objectively worse system
the definition of enshitification
the profile stuff is literally the most whatever features for me but basic functionality like file upload etc being behind such a ridiculous paywall is such bullshit
you can't even send phone camera images with that 8MB limit
There's got to be some real low hanging fruit enshittification they could do if they're really desperate
Limited number of DMs without Nitro, real small total number of servers you can join without nitro
they seem happy just adding more and more garbage to nitro instead
and it's so much shit
remember when profile banners was the biggest customization
now people can make their profiles as unreadable as possible
real
If you have some animated bullshit when I open your profile I hate you ngl
do not open mine then 💀
Bro what is that image at the top

sex, presumably
looks straight tho so thumbs down
I think whats stopping me from reading horus rising is
it feels kinda mid compared to eisenhorn
then again
I have a short attention span!!
whys her suit white
Why not?
Holy hell the space marines are just the western expansion reddit atheist combo
What "truth"? Did you bring to them? You just murdered a civilization dawg they have every reason to fear you 💀
From her stand alone movie
They mean the imperial truth
There is no such thing as gods. Only science and reason blah blah blah. Imperial Cult better.
Reddit plagues the imperium
Wow
no one in the steam family bought dispatch

isg that game is always on sale.
i legit expected dispatch to be a hidden gem when i saw nobody talking about it before release
WATERBOY SUPREMACY WOOOO
WATERGOAT SWEEP

Shit
They finally making some headway into JP market
40k anime when
WH has had a base in JP for a while iirc
Can't wait for the Dawn of Fire anime series
Yes but coolee
Also I'm getting fucking tired of people complaining that Mculkins character is clean shaven
Do you think people didn't shave before electric razors
It's less that I think, and more people assume "backwardness = beards" for whatever reason
As if ye olde times, or apocalyptic future humans, can't have grooming standards
I must be the most backward person in existence
(If nothing else it should be the LAST thing to go as people cling to what they can)
He's also like one of the highest ranks in the legion of course he's gonna be better looker than goon#135792
It seems like the Votann are quite groupist in their culture
Makes me want to touch a book of theres
Sadly I don't think there is a broad Votann BL collection yet
they've only got a single book, it's alright but not excellent
Yet being the key word
I've seen it used to describe how both ancient and modern Japanese and other asian societies are.
I got it and then never even read it
Huh so Asia really is getting GW special treatment in three and a half expy factions...
(Eldar, Tau, Votann, the half being White Scars since they are Marines subfaction)
They don't really have any asian influence in their society or design imo
I say that because I'm watching krakduk(go ahead, kill me.) say once an enemy insults their kind enough, all of them together will grow disdain towards that enemy, and holding a heavier grudge against them. and blindly villainize them without thought.
Now that makes me wonder, do they hold grudge against the particular enemy or that enemies whole kind? probably their kind.
Don't mean to say they're the asians of 40k but that sounds funny now that I say it lmfao
I'm watching em cuz im tired and gonna eat soon
and want to get a brief run down on em
dont feel like reading lexicanum!
I mean, even without Votann that is still 2.5 Asian influenced factions.
And to be fair I could see why the collectivist/grudge nature of Votann may resemble some modern Asian cultures/Society (in particular, the "work your ass off" aspect)
and that once you break a social rule, you're shunned. thats what I know just on a surface level
:p
HI dilara
With the earlier news of GW gaining steam in Japan, we may well be able to observe whether they fall in line with the "new players like Marines" trend, or they pick a faction that shows us what the JP audience resonates with
Eldar are not solely asian. They got celtic, hindu and many other cultures in their aesthetic.
Votann also got zero asian influences, its all norse.
Tau are the really only dominant eastern faction in the game as their identity.
OK fair
Dumb-dumb.
Hehe
people like this are why dwarves hate humans
😭
👎
what the fuck 😭 i dont even know if you mean the gw youtuber mention or everything else
lmfao
guns blazing right out the gate
calm down 😭
What
Oh so it is everything else

Missus you really really need to take your meds
What the hell
no i mean like ur already hating on me when I havent done nothin
😭
I mean you have
Bro I somehow wake up getting called a socialist and come here and see this
you as usual dont know anything about the lore and go "oh wow these guys are dwarves"
Im more talking about how it took you like almost 2 years after their release to realise this dumb-dumb
try reading

to be fair being a "socialist" is at this point doing anything humane lol
Listen I only knew they existed by name and nothing deeper
i only read on them today
It was because I said bro was losing money for a reason not that it was stolen
Bingo lmao

I fucking hate taxes but god damn
kill taxes
to be fair the moment you say anything bad about money, capitalism or rich people you are a "communist"
thanks guys
GW really be capitalising on tax hate with Huron release...
They really released Huron during American tax season
You left out "saying anything bad about Christianity" in that list
Everyone hates taxes until they live in a place that isn't the US, Russia, China, or UK
I mean we aren't arguing 😛, so it is sign of a healthy channel
I think it took playing darktide for me to be interested on the deeper bits
and being here generally
They don't even fix the roads in the us. Aka the thing they tell me tax money goes too
So my understanding is, these dwarves worship chatgbt
"Everyone hates taxes until the street lights go out"
Fixed to something just a wee bit more realistic/immediately relatable
If you "think" about it votann are just the concept of the mechanicus but better and short
Kinda but not really
they are corpo space dwarves
their industrial machine worship elements start and end at the Votann Cores
Tbf that's why I said "think"
yeah they now represent the corporate evil route in warhammer
Hating taxes is a sign of low intelligence 
They'd sell your clothes off your back if they thought it'd be profitable
I like this rule
It's also very weird to think Votann are technically a faction that could claim ancestral linkage to DAoT humans, albeit not in a way the Imperium likes to acknowledge
what the imperial officer says to me to truly serve the emperor as a slave
dogshit.
No it's not, taxes are theft
wait does this mean Votann are human expies of Craftworld Eldar lol
taxation is theft, where it is right now.
Skin this user for being amerikkkan
Its not theft in concept but theft in practice because the people in charge suck.
What else is new lol
Smartest thing you've said
all going towards the fucking military, the police department, the government, bombing middle eastern countries.
Taxes as a concept are needed for public services.
But those deciding said public services usually suck at identifying what people need
Yes and taxing the correct amount for the correct classes, which also many people don't understand
like i say the moment an alien abducts me ask me about a race i am snitching that we are both the most contradictory species on the planet
"Correct amount for the classes"
literal dreamworld
I mean TBH any concerns about privacy are kinda lost when everyone surrendered the concept with the rise of Faceboom way back when
But I will say that for elderly people who prefer cash...yea, it's a pain
I pay taxes gladly because I know a majority of those funds will be used for the betterment of the less fortunate and improvement of public services here
No comment.
I pay taxes because I benefit from not dying from my disease
Fuck others I'm trying to live !
I pay taxes... firstly just because its a fact of life :p
Secondly, if the money is not in my bank account, it is literally out of my mind :p
I pay taxes to make sure the government doesn't cave in my head with a mallet
I pay taxes because they steal it from my pay cheque before I even get it
I pay taxes so i dont end up homeless
Thirdly, as a plain office collar worker, my wages are given to me with tax deducted already :p
Forgot the color association lol
I've benefited from welfare almost half of my life so I can see where some of the money goes, it's not perfect and it never will be and many thrive to make it worse year by year without understanding the benefits of it
I don't mind taxes, it's just annoying when I get a bonus for Christmas and I lose literally all of it to tax
and for what it's worth, the system americans have is beyond fucked in many aspects
under the camp that taxes if it was actually implemented well can actually be liked by people unfortunately the big buckos at the top
Tend to just kind of not really do that
I pay taxes because I don't want to go to jail
Its so badddddd
the fact alone that you have to manually calculate your taxes each season is absurd
Is trump still speed running the American system to the ground or has he calmed down in recent time
don't answer i know the answer
Idk haven't paid attention
Also in the UK there are also Council taxes.
Where I live, I get to see the money spent on public fireworks, so it works for me :p
(Without having to pay extra to attend events)
I've been too busy at work trying to deal with program and coding changes
Our local council got merged with another and now does nothing in our area, it's peak
Sounds about right
My Council is also talking about merging
So I can definitely expect less fireworks lol
We have low taxes here, well at least in comparison to what i hear from other countries
I wish we were like Eldar
(Not really)
Lol
I wish we were like eldar
Craftworld Eldar are peak society and function because they arent humans
probably the funniest thing
So peak

:C
Its the truth
At least the dark eldar know what they are
Craftworlds have eldar that literally sign up to be shopkeeps to give out shit for free.
And they got no police force.
Because eldar dont randomly steal or murder each other in the ship lol
Yes, but also rigid ass paths and raahhh i hatr aeldari they made a god and denied it

No one forces you to take Paths though.
Even if you do you can just take a chill one
They have to iirc
Nope. Its completely a choice, most eldar just opt for it because they want stuff to do.
But not becoz of forced or smth
also you need to remember Paths can also literally be civil service roles.
Its all voluntary
Yeap, because they need smth to do, rigidly and stave off the whole slaanesh stuff
I mean boredom is bad for eldar
Thats quite nice. sounds like a safe haven.
have you seen what we do when we get bored
its pretty universal lol
Its not rigid, again.
They arent staving off Slaanesh either, they are smart enough to not worship her unless you're a complete idiot.
I always wonder what a Phoenix Lord of the Path of Service would look like
but yeah when a society achieves its zenith we get bored and commit to depravity
I meant more rigidly stave off being degen kinda
theres plenty of examples of it in history which is pretty awful
This don't sound rigid to me
Gilded age stuff

Damn doesnt sound that bad
We can literally only guess.
I wouldn't mind it now ngl
I chose the path of the gamer, I am lost on the path
Just imagine some evil ass shit entertainment or smth
And very degen
Are the eldar me
I choose the path of making sure fent heads don't break into places
Craftworld Eldar society is basically the best life in the entire setting. The only downside is if you die and have no soulstone you go to Slaanesh, but that isnt too bad when you are like a no-name craftworld just cruising it through space lol
I thought you went path of the lesbian did you just go through that and then end up and lost in the path of the gamer
Those paths arnt mutually exclusive
I can see it now ngl, and well yeah the soulstone issue prob wont effect most aeldari
I choose the path of the jobless anyway, i will be lost on the path
and you're fine as long as the soul stone remains intact :)
(with the existence of everything else in the galaxy you are in constant peril tbh)
I mean if you fuck up your soul stone might reject you
Already said that
Thats basically impossible tho
that isnt a thing that happens at all
its literally a empty stone

Craftworld eldar are weird and an anomaly and not a good representation of how eldar are on the whole. Dark eldar absolutely do randomly kill and steal from each other. Its not a "human vs eldar" thing, its literally just a craftworlder thing
Craftworlders are just weirdly moral
Merciful, considering wth happens to some blanks
No?
Well unless you go more dark eldar
Thats different
the stone inflicts every pain you did upon others as punishment
which uhhh
if you're a dark eldar entirely fair imo
Drukhari and Asuryani are night and day lmao
LMAO
Yeah if you want redemption that much of a punishment is fair
if you die from it then cest la vie
to be a fucking aeldari and live and die in a craft world
Literally how do you disagree with this. There are objectively more dark eldar and dark eldar also objectively are closer to pre fall eldar anyways

Exodites are closer to Asuryani but they figured being a agrarian is a good way to be chill, thats all i know
Path of the Farmer
fact that isha is imprisoned by nurgle to be experimented on is like
so cartoon-y lmfao
Because... they aren't an anomaly. They represent the main basis of what eldar are in modern 40k. The Dark Eldar are also not a "close representation", pre-fall Eldar were pretty normal once too before they teetered on the brink of total galactic psychopathy, you are muddling eras of a completely diverse civilization.
Hehahh deserved false god, praise the old four
Very weird take.
Also what do dark eldar being more have to do with anything
no shit, they clone and throw themselves out to streets
lmao
Craftworlders aren't the default because they are a vast minority what are you talking about
Freak in the streets and the sheets 
Ehh werent the Drukhari closer to pre near the fall aeldari, with the Haemonculi having been descended from the ruling class of the Aeldari, the Asuryani are closer to the Aeldari who came before the era of decadence near the end
They are the default. They literally existed before dark eldar were even a faction, what are you talking about.
Yeah??? You said they only work because theyre not humans when eldar are not above all this???
Im talking lorewise what
No bceause we got accounts of eldar making contact with humanity beforehand, if they were dark eldar tiers of evil those wouldnt even happen.
Craftworlders are the normal eldar
What the hell are you going on about bruh
simmer down lmao
Commoragh/Dark Eldar have changed a lot iirc since the Coalescion
Slaanesh came last I think
Dark eldar degenerated even further since the fall
Tabletop stuff literally ties into lore, thats what the fuck they write all this stuff around.
In 40k yes
Ehh, technically those could've been craftworlders, fucked up shit like Nocturnians being kidnapped by Aeldari was also happening
Craftworlds didnt exist back then.
Nocturnians also didnt exist considering humanity was still in DAOT.
I thought they had already become nomadic?
How is the craft world there's like not the main representative of pre fall edar when they are literally the same ones that left on the ships?
Craftworlds only started near the end of the fall
That's why most of them were away from the fall
It was during the end of the days of the empire
we dont really have any account of some noticing WAYYYY earlier and leaving before things even got near bad.
Dark eldar are also LITERALLY the same eldar
Yeah they existed as trading vessels, and were away from the collapse of aeldari society
Yeah but you know The funny thing is they are like no longer the same they don't have psychic capabilities they are fundamentally changed they're like a subspecies an offshoot the purest you have are the actual craft worlders
Dark eldar don't even use psychic powers they are not the same
Yep it says they didnt know till the final weeks
Dark Eldar are basically offshoots like they function so differently it's not even funny
Like straight up they don't have psykers like not even one
Dark Eldar are toned down (psyker shit) in a few aspects from pre fall, but have fallen way further in 90% of other aspects
That was like one of the biggest traits of pre fall eldar
Yep
D-don't cook with those, yeah......
No psykerisms for a psychic race is a big change imo

If my country is gonna get nuked, and loads of people leave elsewhere, the nuke happen and the remaining survivor devolve into a Mad Max styled raiding party.
Who is more similar to our historical culture
Good idea
They are the psychic race orks are the muscle
This is also COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that Commorragh and its inhabitants developed their own culture.
It was a literal port-city government
Just to say.
This is not an invitation to nuke my country
Shanghai type shit
Craftworlders are a weird apocalypse cult, like, they are objectively the outlier.
We have small, peaceful communities irl that do not require police forces or whatever. I would not call those representative of humanity as a whole because they are so small and relatively isolated
Yeah they are biologically difference and have their own culture now
Craftworlds work because they are weird, not because theyre eldar
Too late missiles on its way :3
Eldar are not inherently more moral than humans
Not even close
Like, not even close to close
...Apocalypse cult? What. They were doomsday preppers that were extremely sensible and just packed up and left, they arent an outlier and present what the Eldar were at the core of everything before things went to shit.
What
dude
I meant doomsday prepper
They were traders
They dont randomly invade places and carry out mass genocide campaigns unless absolutely forced to protect their craftworld.
Sowwy
