[crisp heath]

I think the solution will be "warp stuff because he's a mutated raptorae"

[outer wave]

Ooof

[arctic talon]

Oh if they’re a warp talon or raptor it’s easy as shit lol

They get way weirder esoteric shit

You can just say their pack has been mutated due to blessings by the raptor god

lol

[storm jungle]

Krieg

• Dead Men Walking
• Krieg

Cadia

• Fall of Cadia
• Creed: Ashes of Cadia
• Steel Tread
• Cadian Blood

[crisp heath]

Now I need research in how weird I can make them

[arctic talon]

Raptors are fun

[crisp heath]

My objective is for this guy to be basically Starscream but he at least doesn't want to usurp my other OC every single second

[arctic talon]

They’re their own weird sub cult

[storm jungle]

You can make it as weird as you want to be, there isnt much to research with chaos. Authors make shit up for them every single novel, codex and other entry. Its kinda the advantage of a faction where half their identity is bullshit magic

[arctic talon]

Who worship their own obscure minor chaos god

[opaque coyote]

Honestly just say it's a special pattern or something

40k is basically made for homebrewing lmao

[arctic talon]

Raptor cults are so fun lol

[crisp heath]

True
"The jumpack mark whatever"

[arctic talon]

The Raptor god is a fun bit of lore that I hope doesn’t get too much elaboration

[crisp heath]

I thought they just served chaos or one of the chaos gods they have their own god? Damn

[opaque coyote]

Elaborating lore bits in general is a double edged sword

On one hand it can be cool

On the other hand, it probably ruins a lot of homebrews if you detail say... Malice

[arctic talon]

The Raptor cult specifically are their own weird fucking cult

They’re extremely weird

[rose thorn]

Speak of the devil

[arctic talon]

They worship their own God, are extremely insular

And have their own odd mutations

Also their God doesn’t mind sharing

So Raptor cult members can occasionally have other god marks

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-squish-no-ai-gif-4337040579151570500

[crisp heath]

Thats cool as hell

They sound chill asf

[arctic talon]

Well

They’re also usually batshit insane

lol

[crisp heath]

True true

[arctic talon]

Warptalons especially

[crisp heath]

Was about to mention them

[queen laurel]

More than the average cm marine?

[arctic talon]

Some warptalons get “blessed” enough to literally slip into the warp

Momentarily

This is obviously very bad for their brain

[arctic talon]

Yes

[queen laurel]

Damn

[arctic talon]

Raptors more then any other CSM thrive on terror and “the hunt”

[rose thorn]

Oh when did cult of the spiral dawn get an audiobook?

[opaque coyote]

You basically become a cool lizard man with cool spikes and shit.

You become batshit insane but that also goes with like

Literally every Chaos god ever.

Only real downside is that you'll probably never become a Daemon prince. But tbf the chances of that are like 0.00001%

[arctic talon]

A while ago iirc

[crisp heath]

I was about to make a question
Is there an mention of them in books and in how they go into the warp? Is it basically like a portal like from the Portal game or it slowly opens and closes?

[rose thorn]

Damn must have missed it, 28 usd for a 7 hour book is kinda rough

[arctic talon]

In the codex it says they violently tear it open momentarily before it shuts, and then it gets torn open again as they exit it

They literally tear the veil open somehow

Before it seals itself shut behind them

Also the other issue of, sometimes they literally don’t come back

lol

[crisp heath]

Oh so they theoretically can pretty much just use their hands to make a "tearing" handmovement and it opens a warp portal

[crisp heath]

[arctic talon]

Yeah

It doesn’t elaborate on how it’s torn open

Let’s you imagine it lol

[crisp heath]

I like the idea of them physically being able to grab reality and force it open

[arctic talon]

Thank you Kibellah

[rose thorn]

Sigmund, which is the same length, is only 18 usd

And the Martyrs tomb, which is the same price, is twice as long

[crisp heath]

I should do this to everyone I dislike

[tough haven]

Valid thoughts

[pseudo fox]

thx alot big man

[storm jungle]

[young pecan]

It actually sounds like you're supposed to do that for people you DO like

[jade holly]

Just got off Cosmic Rewind, in line for it again

Third time I’m riding it today

It’s just so damn fun

[heady rivet]

She's literally perfect

[crisp heath]

I saw a video that said something insane and I gotta verify if this is true
It makes sense in concept and I already imagined this was the case but still

[heady rivet]

Couldnt make it 10 seconds he's too annoying

[crisp heath]

Fair

[storm jungle]

Its true but he yaps way too much about simple points lol

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

also stop watching slop Shorts and read the lexicanum

[valid needle]

Yes the warp is basically another dimension. It doesn’t belong to the chaos gods.

[languid meadow]

why does he look like Matt Walsh

[celest dome]

The Chaos Gods are just interloper in the Warp

[young pecan]

Biggest warp entity in existence is just a fat fuck whose mouth is so big other things just go into it so he constantly grows

That's my headcanon

[crisp heath]

Was against my will it auto played while i was working and i just listened

[storm jungle]

You're tainted, leaving only one solution

😔

[crisp heath]

Tell my star wars figures and my blood angel intercessor i love them

[young pecan]

What is the most taint-resilient person we've seen in lore so far?

[storm jungle]

Basically every single space marine character lol

[young pecan]

I could have worded that better

[young pecan]

BOOOOORRRIIINNGGGG

[storm jungle]

Yep lmao

it even gets funnier when you get to gary stues like titus

[crisp heath]

Im gonna say the grey knight leader

[young pecan]

Other than leftnutaint titus

[storm jungle]

whos corruption resistant because uhhh we still dont know lol

[young pecan]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

thanks writers

[crisp heath]

Forgor his name

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/yuimetal-gif-2236335851178412850

[young pecan]

He has built diffium in his blood ofc

[crisp heath]

"He was just born different dude hes built different he jsut has no fear dude trust me"

[young pecan]

In terms of compelling characters

[crisp heath]

named ultramarine

[storm jungle]

👎 boooooring

[crisp heath]

Fuck meee

[young pecan]

So humans or other races, who have been resistant

Who dun it best?

[celest dome]

Tyranids

[young pecan]

You know what I mean

[crisp heath]

Erm

Orks

[celest dome]

Nah they can become.mutated by chaos

[crisp heath]

Yeah but im not sure they can worship chaos

Or they can?

[celest dome]

Blanks

[crisp heath]

[celest dome]

Any Blanks would be the best bet

[crisp heath]

Thats like saying a bullet proof vest is the most bullet proof person ever

They were literally built to counter it

[celest dome]

Not sure why they couldn't tbh

[crisp heath]

Mind too small for doubt

[celest dome]

But a bullet proof vest isn't a person, Blank are Sentient, if not people

[young pecan]

Okay I should say that I don't mean who has the best hardware, because blanks and other things that are warp-resistant or straight up immune aren't really impressive when they resist the warp

[crisp heath]

Yeah not my best comparison

[celest dome]

That Slaanesh doctor maybe

Or that Queen that just ate 3 Keeper of Secret so Slaanesh made her a DP

[young pecan]

I wanna say you mean Fabius Bile but I think he's undivided right

[celest dome]

Nah he is Slaanesh

[young pecan]

He just really likes pretending he's not xd

[storm jungle]

Yeah basically

[celest dome]

Many Slave to Darkness delude themselves into not being Slaves

[storm jungle]

the big reveal at the end of his trilogy is that hes just a hypocrite and fully embraces Slaanesh somewhat

also that yeah

Bile is delusional, its why its kinda funny when people act like hes some doubtless gigachad

[young pecan]

He's not wrong in that daemons are Technically* not Real*

[celest dome]

God I need a 1h hammer weapon in DT 🙏

[young pecan]

But the warp is real and daemons are made of warp so they may as well be called real

[celest dome]

Deamons are real

Though

[sacred ginkgo]

Shovel

[young pecan]

It's all semantics anyway

[sacred ginkgo]

Its a 1h hammer for all intensive purposes

[celest dome]

Shovel aren't as cool though

[young pecan]

Typical "heh, I am only using the gifts, I am in control" mf

Clearly someone hasn't used shovel enough

[sacred ginkgo]

I can quit any time I want

[young pecan]

Nurglings playing basketball with your soul and you have the audacity to say you're just Him

Ooooookay buddy

[storm jungle]

I mean thats basically redditor tier logic in his case

they exist, therefore they are real

its not like hes talking to fucking empty air

[crisp heath]

i think the point is calling them daemons and gods empower them and instead just refer to them as xenos

[spring cairn]

I love all the Fabius artworks with him wearing a fedora

[raven stone]

I genuinely think one possible interpretation was Emperor was attempting exactly that during Great Crusade, yet another reason for the rampant xenocide policies.
Obviously it failed.

[crisp heath]

yeah because he didn't try to explain it to his sons about them so they could understand it better so they themselves could also avoid it

[raven stone]

Also nobody likes that theory because it sounds like it is justifying Emperor’s actions, so I usually have to add the bog standard disclaimer of “Emps was xenocidal to begin with, this was just an additional excuse on top of that.”

[crisp heath]

it has credibility but to the fact Emps genuinely believed it was a good idea
it makes sense on the macro scale of everythin but at least he should've teached the primarchs about it

maybe not their legions but just the primarchs would've been enough

[raven stone]

Yea definitely…he communicated really poorly with all his sons, whatever colour they eventually went

And even the loyalist ones recognize Emps has Poor Communication Skills (TM)

[young pecan]

Dude had dozens of thousands of years to understand how to talk to people

[languid meadow]

Ok so like possibly MASSIVE spoilers for the next episode of fallout ||The "on next" video dropped and I think there's a shot of a pre war deathclaw? which would be the first time and a full conformation of the in universe theory that were indeed pre war||

[young pecan]

He could have been such a chill therapist on the side

[heady rivet]

Big E tried to contain the warp by "starving" it, not catching until it was too late that the best way to fight Chaos was with worship of him. Being worshipped in 40k actively empowers your soul

[storm jungle]

It doesnt because acts fuel daemons at the end of the day as much as thoughts

its like having a breach in a dam and just duct-taping one crack of the entire damage

[heady rivet]

Ironically the BEST possible thing he could have done is sell himself as a God-Emperor

[storm jungle]

hilarious considering thats how much they copied off of DUNE before not doing the messiah angle.

[crisp heath]

tbh this feels lazy but i think the idea of having them being categorized as xenos makes their image smaller to the people who have to deal with it instead of just seeing them as deities
it puts emphasis on how they are viewed that could fuck them a lil bit

[young pecan]

Can we get Powerwolf x God Emperor fanart

Please see the vision

[heady rivet]

There is one incident where probable Daemon activity got retold as Xenos. That, or its Tyranids arriving WAY too early

[raven stone]

Also in general, Emperor’s Atheism is very much a criticism of (somewhat specifically) American Atheism I feel. As in, science cannot answer humanity’s emotional and spiritual needs (which we are somewhat told is what Imperial Truth is - Emps wanted humans to embrace all the learning and science to advance the species, which he thinks can mean people are automatically happy 24/7 without thinking about spiritual or emotional questions which are a hinderance to progress or “progress”).

[heady rivet]

I'm gonna keep it a buck fiddy its not at all that deep

[raven stone]

I mean to be fair that not working was what Imperium found out the hard way during the entire HH lol.

[young pecan]

Science probably could have answered it by now if humanity stopped trying its damndest to fuck everything up

[raven stone]

Eh, I don’t think science can necessarily always teach people how to be happy with themselves, or understand the nature and value of their own existence…but yea even I admit this is diving into philosophy now lol

[storm jungle]

👎

[storm jungle]

Its not criticism

its just shit writing

yall really need to read The Last Church

[heady rivet]

Sovl

[storm jungle]

the Emperor's understanding of religion is literally reddit tier

[storm jungle]

It doesnt, its grimdark, humanity's vices are what fuels them the most and it helps serve the point that everything is fucked.

[young pecan]

Religion is an easy coping mechanism but it is never the solution to any problems ever

[storm jungle]

It isnt but speaking as an atheist people need those coping mechanisms.

you cant take that away from them

its all made up but it helps them at the end of the day

[young pecan]

Oh yeah I mean don't just rip it away

[raven stone]

Well technically vices of every species in general but yes, humanity is second most populous warp resonant species (first being Orks, but they have Gork and Mork so…)

[storm jungle]

[young pecan]

When you feel uplifted by your church, that's just the bond of community, when you feel resolute after committing yourself, that's just the satisfaction of having found something to devote yourself to

[raven stone]

I thought Warp resonant with everything that has a soul no?

[heady rivet]

Another century in samsara for that

[young pecan]

It gives you a foothold which paths into things that actually help

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

yeah true but i just think a way to have it somewhat possible for them to not fuck themselves over but it being denied to them because of their own ignorance is funny

[raven stone]

I mean I am more influence by Buddhist philosophy so…it does teach people how to actually manage their own emotions, not be overwhelmed by the extremities for it, gives some explanation for why the things you cannot change are the way they are…

So yea.

[storm jungle]

Chaos Gods kinda fuck themselves over daily by infighting anyway so its not that big of a deal.

[storm jungle]

Buddhism has a problem of being very centrist

[crisp heath]

literally every legion does in 40k which is kinda of cool and annoying some times

[storm jungle]

accepting things the way they are can be a very dangerous thing

[crisp heath]

but amusing

[young pecan]

Buddhism is much better than other religions but it still has its flaws

[storm jungle]

It is what it is

[young pecan]

Yeah I hate this aspect

[heady rivet]

That emote just earned you a go-around as a horse fly to teach you humility

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

Like for example im a devout follower of Dudeism

[young pecan]

You think horse flies feel humble?

[storm jungle]

the thing is this sect of buddhism teaches you to just take it easy and go with life

not ignore its problems constantly

[rocky gale]

Cult of the Supreme Being all the way

Which was basically a religion based on "We acknowledge that God doesn't exist, but as humans we need God to exist so we have invented one" and it's tenants are essentially "Be good to eachother"

[raven stone]

(To be fair I am not sure which exact sect I fall under anyways, but well, it’s getting late for me to comment on centrism issue lol)

[storm jungle]

I love how almost every religion on earth has a "be good to each other" tenet but nobody cares about it and just kills each other.

insert joker clip here

[young pecan]

Vaguely related I didn't like the chakras thing in AtLA

"You must let your close friend die or you are cucked from enlightenment forever"

[storm jungle]

Based.

[young pecan]

Why do I have to not care about things to be enlightened

[raven stone]

Now to be fair, people only care about it to their own in group, then go and invent reasons as to why some other groups are not in said group :p

[rocky gale]

They recognize the existence of the Supreme Being and the Immortality of the Soul.
They declare that the best service of the Supreme Being is the practice of man's duties.
They set among the most important of these duties the detestation of bad faith and tyranny, by punishing tyrants and traitors, by caring for the unfortunate, respecting the weak, defending the oppressed, doing unto others all the good one can, and not being unjust towards anyone.

and their virtues were Truth, Justice, Modesty, Friendship, Frugality and Fidelity

[arctic talon]

Buddhism moment

more so you need to let go of your earthly attachments

[rocky gale]

Unfortunetly things didn't turn out too good for the old Cult of the Supreme Being

[storm jungle]

Nope. People do it to their own groups too.

People will always find some reason to dislike each other

[rocky gale]

People sort of misunderstood what the premise was and thought that it's leader was calling himself the Supreme Being and trying to make himself be worshiped as a god.

[raven stone]

Well ok more in the context of “dislike but tolerate because rules said so” and “dislike to kill and harm because rules don’t apply” :p

[storm jungle]

Ehhh even that depends honestly

people in turkey here say syrians are at fault for everything then i see 2 of my countrymen stealing a kid's bike

lmao

[young pecan]

Yeah, but I think that's a goofy way to represent that

Unless that's actually accurate to the religion

Which in that case that aspect of the religion is goofy

[raven stone]

Let’s go back to something we can all collectively dunk on

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyg1jg8xkmo

[valid needle]

America acting very WW2 Germany right now.

[young pecan]

Errmmm acktchully this is based

[raven stone]

I genuinely believe and predict non-nuclear WW3 roughly a decade from now.
Non-nuclear because everyone will not be wanting to occupy wasteland.

[arctic talon]

Its an exageration of what buddhism demands of you but to truly reach nirvana you need to let go of all earthly attachments lol

you need to not crave or desire anything

ect.

Aang was in love with Katara

[valid needle]

We explode America

[young pecan]

Maybe, but I think you lose something important by not craving or desiring

[arctic talon]

you cannot be in love if you want to escape Samsara

I mean the point of buddhism is that these goals are basicially impossible to attain, you should strive for them but you don't need to like

go all in on it

unless ur a monk

[raven stone]

I mean, Buddhism as a whole doesn’t shove itself down people’s throats…so don’t worry about it if you don’t believe it lol.

It’s chill like that.

[arctic talon]

in which that case

[young pecan]

Oh I'm still not advocating for blowing up religions don't worry

[arctic talon]

yeah you're gona be persuing that shit lol

[young pecan]

Well, some of them

[arctic talon]

Buddhism somthing that explictly says not to shove it down peoples throats

has religous extremists

[young pecan]

But chill ones that actually function relatively healthily is great

[arctic talon]

💀

which is like

deranged

[heady rivet]

This will not ever happen because it benefits literally nobody. Like any conflict that could be called "WW3" leads to an overnight societal collapse worldwide. Every global power is toxically dependent on each other

[raven stone]

Darker speculation is guessing Trump is eventually going to quietly give Putin Ukraine and China Taiwan in exchange for a fully US centric backyard…but that is, I feel, a very “out there” speculation.

[raven stone]

Well the toxic dependency can, ironically, be the limiting factor as to how much force is used.

[young pecan]

I'm not going to name names but I think it's not a very good foundation to make your primary role model a prophet who married a dozen children

[heady rivet]

I think you're just an insane doomer man

[raven stone]

Eh, not really? I admit even if I do believe what I do, I am not exactly thinking it is fully inevitable (and if events eventually prove me wrong all the better :p)
but yea it’s just the trend line that has me believing it for now.

[young pecan]

All it takes is a deranged powerful man on his deathbed who wants to take the world down with him, or settle a gripe, and just a couple of Yes Men

[raven stone]

In the UK the same group kind of had stirred a lot of trouble for not…actually assimilating well.

[young pecan]

That's all it takes

[valid needle]

I wouldn’t be surprised

[raven stone]

Putin is the most likely candidate hovering around that. Xi…the last I heard he is still healthy, and the CCP (being what it is, oddly enough) will actually be having a field day if someone else can snatch Xi’s position.
(it should be noted the CCP is just a modernised Chinese dynastic court. Meaning yes, if the top guy goes crazy, the supposed Yes Men will turn into power-grabbing No Men).

Putin, on the other hand…he has genuine Yes Men around him.

[young pecan]

Trump is definitely worth considering to be on that table too

[raven stone]

aye, true

[young pecan]

The orphan blood transfusions will only keep him breathing for so long /j

[heady rivet]

There is no trend for this, none whatsoever. If you truly believe that anyone is going to randomly decide "Eh, time to collapse all society to nobodys benefit, LEAST of all my own" and then at least several thousands of people agree to that you need to check into a hospital lmao. No world leader is just insane. Like it or not, things and people have a reason. Trump, Putin, or Xi have 0 interest in ending the world.

And if anyone in this chat genuinely believe the world would let China touch Taiwan you are either grossly misinformed or blind. Especially TRUMP of all people. And nobody can "give" Putin Ukraine because Putin cant even take it. He took this long to get to the point he is now (slower pace than WW1) fighting a country that didnt have a fuckin military 12 years ago and gets given mothballed shit from the 80s

In conclusion you all need to touch grass and stop being doomers about your madeup scenarios

I know life is a lot easier when you live in fantasy lands where the bad guys are just crazy but

[raven stone]

…can I ask why you are so…I dunno, worked up about bad possibilities?
I mean, I share and get the point about bad guys not being crazy and irrational, but history has shown us people can be pushed into making irrational decisions.

And even if we are wrong, right - I don’t know, it seems you are a bit too…angry…about how we might be wrong.

[heady rivet]

Because seeing people take this seriously is like seeing someone scared the dinosaurs are gonna come out of the Agartha portal. You made up a scenario and then doomer-posted about it. Be an adult and live in the real world lmao

[raven stone]

I mean, I still live my job without worrying about it.

It’s the emotion, not the posting, that makes a doomed attitude.
I am merely speculating here. Obviously I am still going to live my life.

[storm jungle]

Cool it with the hostility a bit, nobody is being a doomer they are just making assumptions, its not like the situation of the world really helps this image right now lol

[storm jungle]

Also this yeah.

I was confused because its like someone here is caps-lock shouting about how nuclear armageddon is coming

[young pecan]

I didn't say it was likely, I just said that was all it takes

Am I wrong

[raven stone]

Speculation of bad things =/= doomer if the poster isn’t actually emotionally worried is the key point.

And I am not worried about it actually happening because I can’t worry about it anyways, still gotta live life.

Come what may.

[storm jungle]

At the end of the day some world leaders do stupid things.

If I told people here Russia would be invading Ukraine or the US would kidnap Venezuela's president everyone would call me an idiot theorist lol

[heady rivet]

Well you see, I'm looking down upon them for making stupid assumptions they formed from scenarios and information that isnt even true. Hope this helps

[heady rivet]

Both of these things have a reason though

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/do-i-amuse-you-amused-slap-backhand-backhand-slap-gif-11240990327736756869

[heady rivet]

They arent just "fuck it"

[storm jungle]

I mean you say that now

if i said it before this all happened id get the complete opposite reaction lol

"erm theres no reason for this to happen" etc

[raven stone]

Hindsight is perfect 20/20 ye.

[storm jungle]

^

People always assume the opposite until it finally happens.

[raven stone]

You tell anyone in 2024 Trump with kidnap Venezuelan President.
By your logic that is doomer talk.

[storm jungle]

Nobody a few months ago was ever talking about Venezuela being a "narco-state that needs raiding"

[young pecan]

Chillax man
Have a couple of infant IVs to cool you down

[heady rivet]

I can assure you, you did not need hindsight for "America wants oil"

[storm jungle]

^

We basically at the end of the day live in strange times.

Its prob only gonna get weirder from here lol

[raven stone]

You need hindsight for “actually kidnapping a country’s leader for said oil”

[young pecan]

You couldn't have convinced 2024 me that it was a realistic toss-up between whether Trump gave oral sex to Bill Clinton or to a horse

[plush mason]

if it even was a kidnapping, his own cabanit might have went to the US to help stage a coup

[heady rivet]

There is a difference between exact details and vague ideas. Had I said "The US will take military actions against Venezuela" this wouldnt be shocking. It doesnt matter if its "WW3" or "So-And-So will end the world for no reason on a Tuesday", the end result is still the same

[storm jungle]

I mean it would be.

America has barely ever had a presence in South America for decades.

unless we count all the CIA plants lol

[heady rivet]

⁉️

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-spotted-seen-alert-enemy-spotted-gif-26363851

[young pecan]

The reason that I said was one of the nuclear bearers with little in the way being on their deathbed and being selfish

Are the people in power not selfish

Still not likely but it's possible

Bad faith optimism is just as bad as hopeless doomerism imo

[raven stone]

And again, speculation of bad things should not be auto doomerism. It’s the attitude.
I mean, an actual doomer will just quit their job, find a nuclear bunker to hide in, be emotionally upset etc.
I am not doing any of that, I am still going to go about my normal life :p

and if speculating about bad things is doomer or wrong, you might as well say economists should never try to predict when the next market crash might happen, or scientists should never try to predict when the next pandemic nigh hit, because an incorrect speculation is “doomerism”

[heady rivet]

Again, you made up a fantasy where there's some God-Emperor like loyal inner circle that will honor that wish for NO reason, a bunch of soldiers who will just go "oh okay" when history has shown that they always question or delay any launch order at all and insane people in charge of nuclear powers. You can call them insane but thats plain coping for the fact that Putin, Trump, Xi, whoever, all have very clear plans and goals and they arent waking up with a new personality every day. Its not optimism, I'm just pointing out that you're selling a movie plot as a real life potential.

These evil men have goals. Like it or not, but literally none of them are "If I cant have THE ENTIRE WORLD nobody can!"

[storm jungle]

Some definitely are.

Again, giving people too much credit

[young pecan]

I don't need to read the entire response to say that propaganda works

[storm jungle]

the actual masterminds are people we got no idea prob even exists

[young pecan]

Of course they wouldn't say "I want to take everyone out with me"

And do you really think tyrannical leaders are going to let people who oppose them be in important positions

[heady rivet]

No you really should this will help you learn information about the real world and such

[storm jungle]

Again, knock it off

the political superiority complex is very annoying

[young pecan]

Especially when it's dunking on someone just saying what's possible

[heady rivet]

Marco Rubio went from "Little Man" to the new Top Guy within like 18 months

[young pecan]

I think it's more likely Trump will be some dork loser overwriting pre-existing historical landmarks, like he already has, to glaze him before he dies

[storm jungle]

I mean

hes already doing that

[young pecan]

Exactly

[storm jungle]

Reminder that this man literally proposed painting/replacing half the buildings in central D.C with fucking golden paint and other shit

i dread whoever puppeteers this man because id probably kill myself on day 1

[young pecan]

Bruddah has interacted with too many reddit doomers and is taking their anger out on us

Also I see the statement about economists and scientists predicting market crashes/pandemics incorrectly as doomerism being dodged, so…I would assume that means there is a misunderstanding as to what doomerism actually is.

Predicting possible bad things is not doomerism. Even when incorrect.

[young pecan]

I doom within reason

[raven stone]

How the reader reacts to said bad prediction determines whether it is doomerism or not.

[heady rivet]

None of you are "Within reason" this is straight up delusion. Just criticize them for real things PLEASE you dont have to make up fanfic where the already-shit thing is shit. If you cant criticize something without a hypothetical its just sad

[storm jungle]

Jesus christ man, enough lol

why are you so upset over this nonsense

[young pecan]

Is your attention span too low to do both at once

[raven stone]

All economists and scientists predict future market crashes/pandemics based on hypotheticals. Are you upset about them :p?

It’s their job to do so…

[storm jungle]

They are planted by the CIA... 😔

[heady rivet]

Thats not at all the same as what you're doing lmao

[storm jungle]

Anyway seriously move on from this shit

30m of fucking arguing because someone just wanted to make an assumption

$170

the combat patrol is really expensive too 🙁 i might buy a different kill team

[outer wave]

I love that whenever a serious IRL topic comes up here, Maggie is around the corner to talk about new detachments and new models

[rose thorn]

i hope in 6th we get army detachments lieke 40k or just make all teh detachments like Armies of Renown

My day at Disney is over

And what a day

[daring creek]

How'd it go?

[jade holly]

Amazingly

Got my first ever ride on Rock n Roller Coaster

Rode Guardians 3 times

Test Track twice

Space Mountain once

Got on Pirates of the Caribbean

And got a chocolate milkshake

[jade holly]

Damn what a beautiful roller coaster train

[vital ginkgo]

Are there any space marine chapters based on African tribes like the zulus?

[jade holly]

I heard the Celestial Lions had some African influences to them but in reality idk for sure. Could be wrong, idk much about the Celestial Lions

[vital ginkgo]

I think they were just black sons of dorn not like tribal types. I could be wrong though I don't know much about them either

[arctic talon]

Celestial Lions have African Tribal influence but we don't have ton of lore

Their rank structure has the most of it

[vital ginkgo]

Like Sub-Saharan African? That's what I mean

[arctic talon]

yes

[vital ginkgo]

Oh neat

[arctic talon]

Warleader: captain
Pride Leader: sgt
Pride:Squad
chaplain: death speaker
librarian:spiritwalkers
Apothocaries:Lifebinders

[vital ginkgo]

Didn't know that

[arctic talon]

again

not a ton of lore

but still

Space Mountain freaked me out because it looked like so many steel beams were so much closer to head height than they were

amazing

im officially a grass avoider

[daring creek]

Its very over for you

[rocky gale]

Feel like the blessed blade option is kinda doodoo

[shadow plover]

🐌

[rocky gale]

Giving up your ranged weapon option for an extra 1 AP and 1 damage on melee

I also kinda hoped they'd be a bit more durable

No scout, no infiltrate or other mobility based ability, not very durable and no major survivability

Don't see them being super helpful tbh

Feels like any melee army is going to outfight them and any ranged army is going to gun them down before they get into melee

[shadow plover]

lethal hits is nice with 3 attacks each

and making them precision is also nice

I doubt they'll do any heavy lifting but in a correct situation they can be quite effective

of course they're a flavour unit being anti-psykers so it kinda doesn't do much in most cases

[rocky gale]

Yea like they're only really useful if you're facing Thousand Sons or Grey Knights tbh

[shadow plover]

lethal hits precision is still very nice against anything not turbo tanky like a terminator captain etc

even then ap -2 isn't too bad

though most of those tanky characters will have an invul as well

[rocky gale]

I'm just not feeling their stats

[shadow plover]

6 attacks with the blade will most likely kill a normal MEQ character

[rocky gale]

Oh wait

Didn't realise you rerolled hits against your quarry as well

[shadow plover]

yeah you can fish out those 6+ rolls even if you hit the roll which is very nice if the situation requires it

[rocky gale]

Actually pretty good then, basically just charge in, use your regular models as ablative wounds and then hit hard with the blessed blades

[shadow plover]

I'm not sure how miracle dice work nowadays but can't you utilize those as well for it?

[rocky gale]

Yea, they're basically a pool of pre rolled dice you can use instead of rolling

[shadow plover]

Excellent

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-insane-cat-crazy-cat-tweaking-gif-3749357198658649145

They gave space marines a deep strike and a cross fire detachment

I cannot

Fucking believe it

They gave space marines fucking cross fire

[raven stone]

...remind me who originally had cross fire 😅

[shadow plover]

it's not quite as powerful as crossfire was but yeah

GSC

[raven stone]

ROFLMAO

GW really be determined to make Marines masters of all warfare like in lore...

Mary Sue levels off the charts now

[shadow plover]

this one's basically just if you hit a target with one battleline unit, another battleline will hit it easier

crossfire was almost any units and you hit and wounded easier

[rose thorn]

And they gave space marines host of ascension, before the army got utterly reworked to hell

[shadow plover]

Deepstrike list is cool and thematic though

[raven stone]

Good throne they allow deep striking Land Raiders too

Yea Drop Pod list is the mostly thematic and alright addition

But they allow vehicles to deep strike outright which to be fair Thunderhawk Carriers are a thing

[rose thorn]

Tbf we get sustain hits and ignore cover

And they get reroll hit rolls of one

[raven stone]

Might be more accurate to say GW is tuning Marines to be the super soup beginner's faction

Then based on what newcomers like

They pick a faction with the even more specialized version of it

[rose thorn]

No fucking way

They gave space marines

Redeploy

We don’t even have redeploying anymore

[raven stone]

i wish steel legion was still cared about. orks and guard go so well together

both are ridiculous over the top factions with an over reliance on numbers and big industrial machines

also just the sheer size difference between an ork and a guardsman is hilarious. space marines fighting orks is boring because they're both huge but a tiny guy trying to bayonet rush an 8 foot tall greenskin is peak 40k

iconic

HOLD THE FUCKING LINE

[radiant lance]

Is it bad that Rupert Girlyman is my favorite primarch

I just really fucking love logistics irl

And I just want to get shit done
Fuck all of the fru-fru bullshit

[celest dome]

Ultramarine a fairly popular

[radiant lance]

Yeah but now I'm just a basic bitch

[celest dome]

And there is no shame to have a favourite character even if it is a quite popular one

[radiant lance]

I am a natural maverick and abhor just being a basic bitch

[crystal forum]

how can you like logistics while also not liking procedures

[radiant lance]

I'm not sure when I mentioned procedures

[crystal forum]

i was getting the impression

from the getting shit done part

[radiant lance]

Procedures are useful until they fail their objective
I think Gorillaman also embodies this like with how he tried to switch imperial fleet doctrine from big ships to a lot of small ships

[crystal forum]

girlyman making all chapters follow his bullshit codex rules for literally no reason

[radiant lance]

I mean he had a good set of reasons
I have no issue with creating procedures and rules provided they have purpose

Following procedures and rules for ineffective purposes and not meeting goals is different

[crystal forum]

were his reasons for the codex ever really good though

as if the loyal chapters would turn traitor after fighting a whole civil war on the emp side

[radiant lance]

Not having Heresy 2.0 and breaking the imperium as well as tactical things like Marines being focused on singular roles seems like good purposes

[crystal forum]

again heresy 2.0 is just a bullshit reason

he just ended up pissing off his loyal brothers

[radiant lance]

There were severe issues with this and inefficiencies imposed by this ridiculous chain of command breaks, but nonetheless needed

[radiant lance]

I think there's a real fear that they may not stay loyal

From his perspective, there is risk of this

[crystal forum]

like where does hurdygurdyman get off telling the imperial fister himself that he can't be trusted

[radiant lance]

"from my perspective the Jedi are evil"

[crystal forum]

the guy who was actually there during the siege

unlike bluepants

also he literally nearly caused the heresy 2.0 himself!!!

[radiant lance]

I mean it's currently trustworthy but given the nature of chaos and conversion and corruption, it's not a guarantee
The chapter thing is ridiculously useful for trying to prevent the issues of chaos corruption

Chaos corruption is really way more than just "oh they hate the imperium now"

[crystal forum]

i think it was a dumb move regardless of how you hindsight it

also dark angels just ignored it

[radiant lance]

I really think a singular person having full control of major forces with no oversight is just ridiculous for accountability

Astartes chapters really have 0 accountability and oversight and we just hope the leader isn't a dick

[crystal forum]

oh also dont forget that ticklyman wanted to branch off from the imperium if things got too shitty. like he himself is less trustworthy than dorn

[radiant lance]

Secundus was entirely justified if you consider this was a measure because he had no idea if Terra fell
It's like the Byzantine empire

If Rome/Terra fell, you still want to survive

Secundus immediately dissolving is exactly what should have happened

[crystal forum]

he spent time and effort preparing that crap when we all know that if terra fell then his shitty pocket empire wouldn't have lasted a century

[radiant lance]

Secundus popped into being because he had no idea if Terra fell from the massive warp storm

[crystal forum]

that's disloyalty by 40k standards

if terra falls you fight till you fall too

there just isn't a concept of humanity outside of terran control

[radiant lance]

I mean that's the theme of the imperium and 40k
Struggling against the dying of the light even if it's futile

[crystal forum]

but without the emperor then it isn't the imperium

and without the imperium girlyman is meaningless

[radiant lance]

Which is honestly a poor set of goals
"Just go extinct if Terra falls"

[crystal forum]

that's how 40k works

im saying by the logic of the setting girlyman is still in the wrong

[radiant lance]

Yeah, and it's dumb, and I applaud Robot for breaking procedure and dogma

Which is really my belief of "why are we doing this shit if it doesn't have a good set of goals"

Gorillaman is only in the wrong if you believe "you must follow the Emperor and procedure" which is flawed in my opinion, so yeah. I like Girlyman

[crystal forum]

i find him boring. why go in a wacky setting to enjoy a character who's trying to be grounded

[radiant lance]

Yeah he's boring, but I'm not interested in flashy
I'm interested in just "get shit done"

He's my spirit animal for a reason

[crystal forum]

may i interest you in iron hands

they're like iron warriors but without the annoying fanbase and lame motives

and also they arent flashy like ultramarines

they just get shit done

[radiant lance]

I mean we're discussing chapters/legions now instead of the primarchs

[crystal forum]

yeah because fuck primarchs

[radiant lance]

I'd fuck Sanguinis

[storm jungle]

peopel shat on folks that loved Superman for years

then the Gunn movie comes out and people are proven right that Superman is a great character because hes just a good person

dont let peoples' opinions sway you from such ideas lol

[radiant lance]

Too late. I've already ordered my Starbucks and bought a labubu

[crystal forum]

who knew that when zack snyder isn't touching something it becomes good

has zack snyder ever made a movie that you don't forget immediately after watching it

[storm jungle]

Superman's thing is a weird case

because we went through an era where a lot of people hated him for being a "boring" character.

with the Starman meme phase and the release of the movie we went back to a way better normal period afterwards which im glad for tbh

[crystal forum]

i will never enjoy the edgification of wholesome characters because if i want edge i'll just go watch the punisher or smth. wholesome characters dont need to be turned gritty

also that's what batman is there for already. you can do so much with batman with goofy or edgy

anyways heroslop needs to die already

[storm jungle]

Superheroes are good. Shut the fuck up.

Dont let what the MCU does ruin the entire media

[raven stone]

I do think the fact that people do not believe in genuinely happy characters says more about the despondent state of the audience

[winged jacinth]

With stuff like "maybe... lux secretly dating ezreal? Will that get the tumblrs posting?" (It was still tumblr time)

[arctic talon]

Demacia is basicially the single region on runeterra that is

Extremely anti magic

I thought that was the nox place

[jade holly]

Rip dragon woman

[arctic talon]

no

Noxus loves magic

lol

[winged jacinth]

Isnt lux like the princess or some shit

Shes just marisa from touhou

[languid meadow]

Noxus loves when you use anything to get ahead

[arctic talon]

no

Lux is just part of a rich noble family

lol

[jade holly]

And they love seeing lower class people rise up and become stronger… I think?

[arctic talon]

To an extent

lol

[jade holly]

Based on that one LOR cinematic?

[arctic talon]

Noxus hates slavery

post coup

[languid meadow]

she looks more human than dragon face wise give her more scales 💔

[winged jacinth]

It took like 4 name changes for lux's ult not to be named master spark one way or another lol

[arctic talon]

Shyvana's new design I will judge once we get the splash art

lol

[jade holly]

It’s a female in Modern League

Ofc the VGU would ruin her face

[arctic talon]

its called like final spark lol

[arctic talon]

you say that like women in modern League are ugly?

what

[jade holly]

The opposite

[arctic talon]

I mean

[jade holly]

same face syndrome tbh

[arctic talon]

she was way prettier pre face update

again

Splashart

ingame faces all kind of look shit

I'm ngl

[winged jacinth]

That's what they settled on there were short periods with dumb names like finales funklein

[jade holly]

I’m saying her face is generic now

[languid meadow]

The older version was def more dragon, the only awkward part was teh nose plate which should've been toned down imo it looked a bit weird. But I will miss her chiseled jaw

[arctic talon]

Its literally less generic then her original face

[arctic talon]

yeah idk why they changed the jaw, but I'm waiting till the splashart is out

[winged jacinth]

There's a LOT of touhou references in league actually lol

[arctic talon]

I generally dislike using ingame models as a reference

[jade holly]

It’s too clean and not enough scales for who’s supposed to be a dragon imo. It needs to be rougher, scarred, shows she’s seen a lot of battles

[winged jacinth]

Should be called Youmu's half-ghost blade

[jade holly]

Like I get it’s a human form but scales to tie it to her actual dragon form

[arctic talon]

ingame model doesn't have that level of detail

I'm ngl lol

[jade holly]

Guess I’m just spoiled by Smite models

[arctic talon]

you are

you are greatly overestimating how much Riot can do with the current engine for ingame models

[winged jacinth]

You won't even look at the in game model from the front in league

[arctic talon]

And how much we can even see

yeah

the only time you'll see shyvana's face in this manner ingame is either during recall animations or emotes

[jade holly]

Isn’t that why they use a more exaggerated Squash and stretch animation too?

[arctic talon]

which are short

[arctic talon]

Yes

[winged jacinth]

The in game models are designed for you to look down on them

[arctic talon]

The perspective requires it

Which is why I always dislike riot showing off like

ingame models lol

[winged jacinth]

They got a taste of the gooner money with the kpop skins and its all downhill

[jade holly]

The biggest sin in League models has to be Kai’sa tho ngl

No one looks like a flawless super model coming back from what she came back from

[arctic talon]

Demacia during the later part of the Civil war has essentially 3 major factions

Pure Anti Magic Camp + put the mageseekers in power over the royal family

magic is fine + royal family loyalists

magic is fine + remove the entire noble system

[arctic talon]

you say that like Riot hasn't always sold sex appeal

lol

[winged jacinth]

I guess kitty katarina was the beginning of the end of video games in a way...

[arctic talon]

LOL

are we not considering they added Miss Fortune

who has a outfit is so bad she's had it redesigned

in every apperance

or had another outfit

[daring creek]

I see we're talking league

[winged jacinth]

Og miss fortune looked terrible lol

[arctic talon]

her current design still looks stupid

lol

well

not her current design in lore, but default splash art is

eh

[winged jacinth]

I remember for the entire time i played league people were demanding a kitty katarina rerelease

Im not innocent i owned battle bunny riven

[arctic talon]

you are weak

undisciplined

smh

[winged jacinth]

I used her lcs skin when that got released until i quit

[arctic talon]

when did you quit lol

[winged jacinth]

Start of season 3 or 4?

[arctic talon]

I c

MF's ingame outfit looks a lot better as an actual complete top

like, I'm deadass

[daring creek]

She looks like a pirate in a stage show

[winged jacinth]

I thought she was intentionally piratess via andrew lloyd weber

[queen laurel]

I mean have you seen her splash art?

[arctic talon]

the design riot never uses

ever

in any official media aside from ingame

[daring creek]

I don't touch league at all so no

[queen laurel]

Yeah at this point I'm surprised they haven't just scrapped it yet and give her like a VGU

[arctic talon]

she doesn't even dress like that in lore

[winged jacinth]

Im from the old times when we could buy 3 stack stats on kills infinitely items and ruin games as jax

[daring creek]

im ill but not that ill

not yet

[arctic talon]

her current outfit is like this lol

you get the ruined king cinematic

bcs I can't be assed to find the splash art

[winged jacinth]

Ruined king is really funny to me because its the only part of league lore even after all this time where im really like "yeah no clue what that is or what led up to it

Evil guy makin people green

[arctic talon]

the game is literally stabbing viego until he goes back to sleep

lol

the ingame event literally got retcon'd by the lore team

bcs it didn't get written by them

and they hated it

[queen laurel]

this?

[arctic talon]

thats her ingame talking model

so sure whatever

but Riot uses the Captain Fortune design in like 99% of media nowadays

which is good bcs it looks cool lol

[winged jacinth]

Lmao

[queen laurel]

Honestly I won't mind if they update her visually

[arctic talon]

Why did you write this character this way which is weird because you don't write them this way

we did not write this event, this was literally the skins team

also we are retconing it so only the broad strokes are true

[queen laurel]

So is Viego just now stuck in the containment fridge in lore

[arctic talon]

he was stuck in there at the end of the event so yes

lol

[rocky gale]

Men might not get it, but this outfit is 10x sluttier than the lame pirate crop top fit

[vital ginkgo]

I know they all suck lol

[valid needle]

If you are competent and bring value, probably iron warriors.

[vital ginkgo]

That's surprising but makes sense

[valid needle]

They don’t suffer fools though but if you are no fool then they are kinda chill

Their dad is a fucking dick though just pray it’s a warband that doesn’t see their dad.

How goes the imperium books missus?

[daring creek]

I'm just going to read Eisenhorn today

I dont wanna read horus rising

its lwk a bit mid

I understand the point is to portray the imperiums state as like. well. imperialist, colonizing, normal 40k shit. but

its boring

the remembrancers are nice

but

it

it kind of feels like glazing

but then again its space marines vs a primitive civiilization

soooooo

yeah

though last I read

I got to a really interesting bit

jubal offed his bros

[queen laurel]

i mean like literally it's not important to 40K

If you want more imperial history that's literally it

or you know you can just do the thing everyone does research

[languid meadow]

legit just read through like

a spark notes of the horus heresy

or not

it's not needed for 40k AT ALL

outside of knowing the primarchs

[daring creek]

Okay but

[storm jungle]

to get HH you literally need to read like 12 books out of 54 in total.

GW has literally made a fucking omnibus

out of this entire fact

lmao

[daring creek]

I'm reading just this fucking book and possibly mechanicum cuz it looks neat and I'm interested in admech

IF thats a good book on learning the admech

Also

I want to...complete this book....

[languid meadow]

That's a wolf question because I have no idea

[storm jungle]

Mechanicum is very very good

[daring creek]

Awesome

[daring creek]

Are you fucking kidding me.

things get interesting

when you

[queen laurel]

No I am not kidding you this is the horus heresy

[daring creek]

GET TO BOOK 5

FUCKING HELL

OKay okay

I knew it had this many books

but

[vagrant fox]

just read the first 3 and then skip to the siege it don't matter

[daring creek]

I'm not doing that shit dawg

[queen laurel]

Take it from us genuinely just read snippets of it if you want history

[daring creek]

⚰️

[queen laurel]

and like our clown said

[vagrant fox]

actually skip the siege and just read teatd

[daring creek]

my nose is runny

[daring creek]

mayb

I have a stupid fucking mindset where I'm like "I can't do y until I do x" and then I'm just fucking STUCK not doing anything cuz I nerver get around to X!!!!

and the x is reading at least half of H Rising before returning to eisenhorn

I have one more chapter

I read slowly

and

My attention span is not the best!

though eisenhorn grabbed me for hours

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-gif-23199856

[queen laurel]

Dude have you seen his splash art just like his most basic one

[languid meadow]

I know but I mean like

his neck

He's kind of uncanny lol

[queen laurel]

what the fuck

he looks really weird when he is not wearing his armor

yeah i can see it

[languid meadow]

dude looks so bad that the unnatural proportions of the Serans look good

[queen laurel]

I'm gonna be honest I genuinely think if I use this head like a battering ram it wouldn't get hurt

[wintry cloud]
