[nocturne crest]

New Idea: Imagine if they made a kill-team where it's imperial actors pretending to be space marines or something.

IIRC, there was a sister of battle book where some sisters watched children doing an reenactment of a Xenos battle, but they were given live ammo.

[fervent geode]

Sounds cool but

Bro those guys are getting shredded by plague marines

Lorewise at least

Still idk how they'd compete with other kts lmao

[nocturne crest]

I got it. They would be actors, like that book for Ciaphas Cain with the five fingered t'au on the front.

New t'au and ork models, but it's just actors and orgyn.

[crisp heath]

Really thought Corvus's name was just fake latin or something

his name is literally Common Raven

https://tenor.com/m9kd38rD1FR.gif

[rose thorn]

Do your self a favor do not look up what Ferrus Manus means

[crisp heath]

oh I know of this one already

Ferrus Manus who translates to Iron Hand, the primarch of the Iron Hands legion who has a ship named Fist of Iron

[rose thorn]

Iron Hands of the Iron hands known for his Iron Hands who has a ship named fist of iron

Oh you beat me too it

[crisp heath]

L

[winter pine]

I love how just absurdly dumb this is lmao

Iron Hands are my favorite loyalists for that and the combo of borged out Adam Smasher-esque Astartes with the tragic body dysmorphia allegory

[celest cedar]

Iron fetish

[crisp heath]

They're cool but the only loyalist legions I like are like

3

[winter pine]

Original founding legions for me is uh

[hollow lantern]

I think basically every primarch name is some kinds reference

[crisp heath]

huh I wonder which one is for Angron

[hollow lantern]

There's definitely less than a quarter of them that aren't

[hollow lantern]

This is a joke right

[winter pine]

Iron Hands and maybe Ultramarines for being the model space marine in a funny way

[crisp heath]

If you had to ask
yes

[crisp heath]

mine are Blood Angels and Imperial Fists tbh

[winter pine]

I'm too committed to my love of the Iron Warriors as an autistic guy to like the Imperial Fists

Dorn "nuh uh I'm retreating to my mind palace" on Khorne was pretty fun to read though

[hollow lantern]

My favorites are Raven Guard and Imperial Fists tbh, probably cause of the Deathwatch omnibus

[crisp heath]

Jokes on you, Iron Warriors are my third favorite chaos legion

[fervent geode]

I wonder what legion i should like

Tbh i like the ultramarines

[crisp heath]

I am going to stab you

[fervent geode]

Esp novamarines

[fervent geode]

Athamemaxxing

[winter pine]

Ultramarines are fun as the only sorta normal anchor lmao

[fervent geode]

Lmao

[crisp heath]

thats why I think they're kinda bland but i like em

just not that much compared to other legions

[winter pine]

Angron when he learns his son is Khorne's actual favorite

[fervent geode]

I think they have good stuff, like the UM in Know No Fear are peak

[crisp heath]

i think at this point he doesnt care

[fervent geode]

Courage and Honour

[crisp heath]

they do have good stuff but they just dont cross my "favorite" line, i much prefer the Blood Angels and Night Lords which are my top 2 overall

[winter pine]

I just like the constrast of a somewhat normal and comparable to real life military with the UItramarines to like

The Flesh Tearers

[fervent geode]

Ah i get that

[winter pine]

Or Marines Malevolent mowing down a refugee camp to get invading orks

[crisp heath]

you will unironically NEVER guess my favorite blood angel chapter

they might have at least a mention in lore

[fervent geode]

Tbh marines malevolent are just evil ass pragmatism

[winter pine]

nah if it's Flesh Tearers they're my favorite too

[fervent geode]

Like bad ultras

[crisp heath]

nope. Charnel Guard.

Flesh Tearers are a close win tho

[fervent geode]

War of the False Primarch

Dominion Zephon's kids

[winter pine]

Shout out to the Blood Angels successors that are one bad day from ripping a High Lord's head off and painting their armor black for Abaddon, gotta be one of my favorite 40k tropes

[crisp heath]

their symbol is so peak

they're like

one of the few BA chapters that actually leans into the vampiric themes

they mf pretty much sleep in coffins when not in campaigns lol

[fervent geode]

Zamn

[crisp heath]

yup

[winter pine]

Think I sorta like the Ultramarines as a contrast foil to that lmao

Thinking of Titus looking at a Charnal Guard back up rising from a stasis coffin like

[crisp heath]

"Oh no the emo kids woke up"

[winter pine]

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334322

[crisp heath]

also

LOOK AT THIS COLOR SCHEME MAN

[winter pine]

Red and black is the best color combo known to man

[crisp heath]

they're a blood angel chapter that actually leans into gothic vampire content? SIGN ME THE FUCK IN.

[fervent geode]

I like the Ultramarines and Word Bearers because of their generalism and practicality, they can do anything, yeah they aren't the best and other legions can also do everything but they are the best at doing everything + actual empirebuilding

[winter pine]

I want a short story of a boring vanilla Ultramarine working with a chapter like that and being like "man what the fuck did Guilliman's brothers get up to for this happen"

[crisp heath]

i like these mfs so much

that Night Lord OC has a mix-geneseed with them lol

dark mechanicum biologis mixed a Night Lord genes with that of a BA marine which was from the chernel guard

[crisp heath]

my future Iron Warrior OC will just accept that as well

[heady rivet]

A real 40k fan makes up their own chapter

[crisp heath]

i did once

then after a while i was like "this kinda sucks" and deleted them

and now im doing a homebrew warband

does that count?

[winter pine]

Only idea I have is a Black Legion warband of a former Iron Warriors who has to wrangle and keep in line a bunch of maniacs

[crisp heath]

lmfao

[heady rivet]

Oh spill the tea on em

[winter pine]

I thought it be a fun gimmick for a jaded Heresy veteran having to manage hot headed loyalists who finally ditched the corpse emperor vs his veteran guys who hate their guts

[crisp heath]

Chapter of unknown founding; they were almost wiped out of existence but were saved last second by some Inquisitor and reinforcements
as an old ritual, they swore an oath to be the Inquisitor's protector until they also managed to save her from certain death- until that moment came and the Inquisitor died after a lone "weird" tyranid managed to split itself from the hive fleet into their ship. The tyranid was stranger than normal and managed to mutate and adapt to the ships enviroment eventually killing the Inquisitor and severely wounding the chapter master and killing basically half of the chapter, who then swore revenge on the tyranid (who after killed was brought back by the hivemind with scars and stuff like that)

their name were the Oathkeepers

[rose thorn]

Hey are there any Chinese shows and moviesthat are good

[winter pine]

A fun idea I had for an Ork waaaagh was a feud with the World Eaters after they captured, tortured, and thoroughly broke down an aspiring champion but I dunno how to write it properly

[heady rivet]

I just made a chapter based on an obscure JRPG and a funny concept of a chapter being founded just to get a single planet to get its shit together

[heady rivet]

Many, yes

[winter pine]

Is the Wolf Warrior movie actually any good? I've been wanting to watch it for a few years

[heady rivet]

If you like action movies, ye

China has a ton of good action

They basically invented the martial arts movie, so

[heady rivet]

I mean its not Citizen Kane

But its exactly what you expect

Which is good action

Wandering Earth is a genuinely fantastic sci-fi also

[rose thorn]

Any suggestions? I like character focused stuf

[heady rivet]

Try Raise The Red Lantern, its like internationally recognized as a great movie

[crisp heath]

Lol

Angways imma go sleep now chat

[rose thorn]

Ooooo oka

[crisp heath]

Bye chat

[jade holly]

Ok so I get the joke of IW carrying the heresy

But what actually happened

I get they were still instrumental I just forget how much they actually did

[heady rivet]

Joke?

They were the only Traitor Legion that wasnt going fuckass crazy, losing more than they won, being too busy trying to summon daemons by throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, or all of the above

Basically the entire Siege of Terra was every other Traitor Legion getting slaughtered, hard-countered, and deserting to go rip babies in half. And then the IW would make actual progress. Then the second they say "Fuck this I'm out" and leave the Traitors instantly buckle to the point Horus has to bait Big E to his ship to have a chance

[heady rivet]

Sons of Horus got baited by Rogal Dorn thinking 5 steps ahead (And Sigismund being one of sword guys ever), Angron got TKO'd by Sanguinius, Morty got banished by the Khan, and Horus was fent-leaning and seething for most of the siege

Oh and the Emperors Children just wandered off to grind civilians into cocaine

[jade holly]

Call it a hunch, but I think IW are one of your favorite legions lol

But yeah I get the picture now

[heady rivet]

I'm a Night Lords fan. Almost all of em didnt even bother showing up to Terra at all

The IW really did just carry that hard

When you hear they carried, they pretty much carried the Siege. Horus was still Horus for the most part

Its just that by the time they're at Terra, everyones fuckin lost it

[heady rivet]

Fwiw the reason the Siege went the way it did was because the Night Lords pinned down the Dark Angels for a long time across the whole galaxy

[heady rivet]

Also Lorgar deserves credit for the early Traitor-sided conflict and basically keeping the Ultramarines a non-factor for the majority of the war

[sour hornet]

Based????

I'm joining this scheme as a collaborator. 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[sour hornet]

I got flashbaged by your fucking profile frame again

https://tenor.com/view/shoot-myself-gif-14944287

[fervent geode]

Nah we and the SoH carried it, at least before Terra imo

The ruinstorm prevented three massive legions from being useful alot of the time

But the IW did good work

And the DG too

[last stone]

The Alpha Legion carried both sides, you just haven't heard of it😎

[glass drum]

Alpha legions werent even in the siege were they?

[last stone]

Maybe they were, maybe they weren't

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-gif-27108854

But they were there, rogal Dorn Killed Alpharius, or Omegon

[glass drum]

That was in solar wars in the sol system no?

[last stone]

Oof I don't know. I just know it was during the heresy, and I'm certain they had agents during the siege, but tbh, I couldn't slog my way through the siege books

[glass drum]

Im only about a handful of books in HH myself ngl

I got maybe 25% done in HH

8 books to go just to get the entire story

[last stone]

Nice

I pick and choice, I like the world eater books. Kharn is awesome, and I like the shiplady

[glass drum]

Forgot her name

Only read angron's 30k book so i got his perspective into HH

Never did understood Angron until i read it

He had every right to be a traitor lmao

Fulgrim's as well was pretty good

[last stone]

The renegades book "Harrowmaster" is also very cool if you want more modern Alpha Legion

[glass drum]

Havent even read their 30k ones yet xd

I'll just get confused on some missing bits

[last stone]

Yeah I've heard stories about that Angron was supposed to be the healer, he is very emphatic and the butcher nails really did him dirty

[last stone]

Oh it has like zero call backs. It's mostly about alpha legion dudes learning there are Primaris now

[glass drum]

Probly finish the ones on my list first

[last stone]

Absolutely

[celest dome]

That's just fan lore

[last stone]

Oh

[glass drum]

Well currently he is kind of written as the Gladiator-ish type
hard to say what he could've been without the nails

Maybe paladin type

[last stone]

Well currently he is written as the dude that benchpressed an imperial Knight or a Titan, I forgot

[glass drum]

He is pretty strong, currently i think it was only Horus who was able to manage to beat him up

[fervent geode]

omegon alpharius was killed by rogal dorn at the battle of pluto

no alpha legion fought at the siege, they were supposed to but i didnt pan out

[fervent geode]

perturabo

[fervent geode]

AL informed the scars and sabotaged the rg, that and alaxxes nebula and pluto was their main contribution

they didnt really contribute fully to either side

[glass drum]

Like to read that

[fervent geode]

and they were killing each other too

[fervent geode]

slaves to darkness

[glass drum]

Havent gotten far in books yet so taking it slow

[fervent geode]

wait ill see if i can pull the excerpt

this was after angron tried to whack him

[glass drum]

Oh its on the list im following

Should be reading it soon

[fervent geode]

nice

its a good book

thats basically the list i followed + aurelian, mark of calth and few others

[last stone]

Betrayer is good

[glass drum]

Im on Flight of eisenstein now

And a couple of recent ones like Son of The Forest

[fervent geode]

TFH, KNF and Betrayer are some of the best of the heresy

[glass drum]

First heretic is Lorgar's perspective?

So i hear

[fervent geode]

Uh kinda

Its like a book about the word bearers' fall

There is some from lorgar perspective and some from argel tal's and the blessed lady too

Its good

Aurelian is more of purely lorgar's perspective

[glass drum]

Liked to see WB's perspective honestly

Their kinda famous for traitor legion but alot of peeps just like to shit on erebus for some reason

Only got maybe the gist of the story in youtube lore videos but not the whole ones tbh

[fervent geode]

Hey no erebus no 40k

[glass drum]

I mean yeh i was about to say
The story is pretty good rn becuz of all the shit that happened

[fervent geode]

Yeap, he made the setting exist so to speak

[last stone]

Who was it again that though killing Karn's best friend was a good idea, and then accepted a dual to the death?

[glass drum]

If we didnt get the scattering of primarchs i doubht they would be as interesting as they are rn

[fervent geode]

Erebus

He was based like that, wouldnt wuss out of it

[sacred ginkgo]

Not really

[fervent geode]

If there was no Erebus

[sacred ginkgo]

The heresy is an ultimately minor event

It affects the history of 1 faction

[fervent geode]

So no chaos marines is a small thing?

[glass drum]

[sacred ginkgo]

Chaos marines would happen anyway, just not that big

[fervent geode]

The imperium would be unbelievably stronger

[fervent geode]

How

[sacred ginkgo]

And the chaos gods would predate on the guard primarily instead

[glass drum]

wasnt the imperium close to winning the galaxy if HH didnt happen?

[fervent geode]

Well they already do

[fervent geode]

It is said as much in Scars

The Guard falls much easier than astartes

[sacred ginkgo]

"Hey dude you're about to die, want to like, not do that?"
"PLEASE"
"Sure, just do x for me after you're done"

[fervent geode]

There are loads of lost and damned guard regiments compared to astartes hereticus

[glass drum]

Khan's book yeh nothing could stop them
But then Horus Heresy happened
The warp was about to be closed by Big E wasnt it?

[fervent geode]

Chaos needs a conduit, it wouldnt have just appeared if horus didnt fall

[sacred ginkgo]

It always crops up

Chaos is constant

[fervent geode]

That's why the warp damage and daemon summoning is needed

[sacred ginkgo]

The heresy was really good for them but cults will appear everywhere

[fervent geode]

Yes but if chaos could simply manifest when the warp is stable there would be no imperium

Its why the psychic awakening was so bad

[fervent geode]

This much is true, but with no heresy and 18 loyal legions these can be easily stamped out

Not to mention the potential success of the imperial webway project

[sacred ginkgo]

And the reason I say ultimately minor is because you can summarize it to 3 sentences and be totally fine for knowing 40k

[fervent geode]

Well yeah but there would be no 40k

The Imperium would just win 30k

[sacred ginkgo]

18 legions that also gave to fight all of the hostile xenos and generic imperial unrest

The imperium would never succeed at such scale

[fervent geode]

With a God Emperor actively leading them

[sacred ginkgo]

They would just eat themselves alive anyway

[fervent geode]

They were about done, Ilya Ravallion says there was no more xenos to threaten them

[sacred ginkgo]

Such is the nature of facism

[sacred ginkgo]

Uh huh

Yeah

Totally

[fervent geode]

I mean it does now, but with the primarchs still active not so much

[sacred ginkgo]

Entire sleeping civ of previous galaxy owners:
Other previous civ of galaxy owners:
Hyperpredatory swarm species:

[fervent geode]

The nature of the Imperium now can be debated but then id argue it was an absolute monarchy instead of a fascist system

[glass drum]

They did make it sound pretty close that the webway was the about to be complete
complete independent from the warp was Big E's plan to starve them out wasnt it?

[sacred ginkgo]

Potato potato

[fervent geode]

Well they werent aware of those, in 30k they wereny relevant yet

[sacred ginkgo]

They still existed

[fervent geode]

In fact if there was no heresy there is chance the tyranids dont come

Because the Pharos is never overloaded

[sacred ginkgo]

Timescale would just be different

[fervent geode]

Way later in any case

[fervent geode]

Yeap, using the webway is much safer than warp travel

[sacred ginkgo]

(It wouldn't work)

[glass drum]

I havent read any Tyrannid lore so far
but i did hear they only started coming in after the events of Dantioch's machine exploding (i forgot)
That the nids caught it up and slowly entered the galaxy

[fervent geode]

The crons awakening would be much easier to deal with since chaos would be a minor threat

[fervent geode]

It was almost working in Master of Mankind, who knows

[sacred ginkgo]

They're still the necrons

[fervent geode]

Even the Aeldari qere impressed

[sacred ginkgo]

And can pretty casually just

Nuke the galaxy

[fervent geode]

They get overwhelmed

There will be no new among them, whilst humanity grows as Oltyx says

[sacred ginkgo]

They have so many wmds that they just don't use cause it would destroy too much stuff

[glass drum]

That would be something to see
Big E still alive with 18 primarchs and a united Imperium Vs Necrons

[fervent geode]

Not all at once

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah, within a year or so

Close enough

They could just decapitate the imperium if they felt like it

[fervent geode]

Like it would destroy a lot, but an Imperium with 18 primarchs is a differeny beast

[fervent geode]

Not really

[sacred ginkgo]

You're also ignoring the fact that the imperium has to constantly deal with its internal unrest

[fervent geode]

They also dont all wake up at once

[fervent geode]

It does yeah

But usually the Imperial Army was handling that

[sacred ginkgo]

Use stellar orrery or whatever
Blow up Sol
Win

[fervent geode]

How to get into position is the issue

[sacred ginkgo]

It just does it

It doesn't need to be near it

[fervent geode]

VIIth, VIth and XVth Legions nearby

[sacred ginkgo]

Necrons are silly like that

[queen laurel]

yeah so the necrons just has access to this super weapon

[fervent geode]

Oh fuxk

Eh i doubt the oruscars would use it

[queen laurel]

If they genuinely wanted to they can just supernova away the imperium but they don't

[fervent geode]

Tbh not surprised

[sacred ginkgo]

They could if they wanted

[fervent geode]

Its crons

[sacred ginkgo]

They just don't because they want to actually own the planets

[fervent geode]

Yeah its their galaxy after all

[sacred ginkgo]

And because it would end the setting real quick

[fervent geode]

True enough

[sacred ginkgo]

Also

You act like the primarchs wouldn't succeed from the imperium naturally without the influence of chaos

[fervent geode]

They could but its much less likely

[sacred ginkgo]

Because a pretty solid number of them would leave the imperium eventually anyway

[fervent geode]

Maybe Mortarion would?

[sacred ginkgo]

Because uhhhh

[fervent geode]

Apart from that no

I dont see ir

[sacred ginkgo]

Facism Bad™

[sacred ginkgo]

Angron

[fervent geode]

He dies from the nails

He was going to die

[sacred ginkgo]

They could have fixed him but like

Plot

[fervent geode]

Eh i still dont consider them fascist from the eco definition, but yeah they were worse than fascism imo

[glass drum]

Didnt the Emperor tried to fix angron but even him couldnt?

[fervent geode]

They couldn't it was eating his brain

[fervent geode]

Yeah him and Arkhan Land

It didnt work

[sacred ginkgo]

The emperor is the most powerful biomancer alive he could just snap his fingers

[glass drum]

Yeh fckin land didnt do shit

[fervent geode]

Not really, at least not without killing him

[sacred ginkgo]

But they have to have angron fall to chaos somehow

[fervent geode]

And not including warp fuckery i rexkon szeras is better at biomancy than him

[sacred ginkgo]

He can literally revive people from death

They could also just

[fervent geode]

So angron woild have to die

[sacred ginkgo]

Go get a haemonculous or something and have them do it

[fervent geode]

His cerebral cortex was gone

[glass drum]

There is probly a gimmick to it

[fervent geode]

Taking the nails out means he dies

[glass drum]

Even if the nails were removed Angron's brain would've been destroyed with it

[fervent geode]

He has no frontal lobe or cerebral cortex

He would be lobotomised

[sacred ginkgo]

Then just make one

[fervent geode]

Well uh

He'd die during his time without em

[sacred ginkgo]

Most powerful biomancer in the galaxy

And he can't grow one brain

[fervent geode]

Well brain transplants dont work because

[sacred ginkgo]

The nails killing him is literally arbitrary plot stuff

[fervent geode]

The person dies

But its a lore thing ig so yeaj

[glass drum]

Well tbf its a primarch brain also which was he cant make anymore afaik right?

[sacred ginkgo]

He can just puppet the body until its done

[fervent geode]

Not without going to molech again

[sacred ginkgo]

Man this is why the heresy should've been like 3 books how it was supposed to have been

[fervent geode]

I dont think so, if the person is dead

[sacred ginkgo]

It adds so much bs

[sacred ginkgo]

Just don't let the body die

[glass drum]

I kinda do like HH tho im not that deep into it yet

The rest of my lore is from lore vids xd

[fervent geode]

I mean growing a brain is another monster now

[glass drum]

Im like 8 books in warhammer 40k

[sacred ginkgo]

Ok

[fervent geode]

Without the primarch's soul

[sacred ginkgo]

They do it all the time

[fervent geode]

Would he just be a simpleton?

[fervent geode]

Primarchs are beyond man

Warp essence or smth

[sacred ginkgo]

He already is but we'll disregard that

[fervent geode]

The deal on molech and all

[fervent geode]

He does have intellect

Like the time he told a codicier he is murderous out of spite to the emperor iirc

Because worlds gained in ultrasuplexviolence arent very compliant in the long term

[sacred ginkgo]

This is just rotting my brain
I hate marineslop

[fervent geode]

I wish we were all crons

[sacred ginkgo]

Horus heresy could've been 3 books

Or you know

1 paragraph

Like it was for several editions

It is not that important to the setting

[fervent geode]

It was becoz people wanted shit on all legions, and on mechanium and shit

So they kept makin em

For the monie

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah I know why

Its just annoying

Because despite it having 80 morbillion books like 2 of them are relevant to the modern setting

[fervent geode]

I think at least the WB books are relevant to what the hell we becamr

Didnt read much else save core stuff

So cant really comment on that

[glass drum]

Became more interesting

[fervent geode]

Defo

[valid needle]

How would he make one

[nocturne jetty]

I love Eldar

[valid needle]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-my-honest-reaction-damn-skull-skeleton-gif-15885937969029652188

[celest dome]

Psyker shit

[valid needle]

💀

[celest dome]

Biomancy, Divination

Like one of the most powerful "human" Psyker, can't see the past version of a brain, and use biomancy to reconstruct the brain

[valid needle]

Which would only be possible if the nails were removed, which would kill angron, and who knows if the emperor is a necromancer.

I haven’t read all the heresy books but I’ve never seen him bring the dead back to life

[celest dome]

Again

Psyker shit

There is a load of powers that aren't even accessed by players

And there is already some that will just keep a dying from the door of death

[valid needle]

At the point when a brain has been completely removed what is there to keep alive?

Now if we’re talking healing regrowing angrons old brain then maybe. But a brain transplant and bringing angron back to life is a bit far fetched imo.

But at the point of a full brain transplant is it really still angron or just a new primarch wearing his skin?

[storm jungle]

Yeah this is the most weirdest excuse people use

"Oh the nails would kill him"

So literal brain wires are superior to one of the most powerful psykers' abilities who can delete literal armies with a wave of his hands? Make it make sense lmao

[celest dome]

Ye, and like he made the Primarch wholesale

they're designed

[storm jungle]

Yeah but the reasoning is "oh its DAOT tech"

says to the man who can literally biomancy his entire appearance

again just lazy writing

[tough haven]

Angron is the epitome of plot contrivance

[tough haven]

I could argue that with the nails in, is it really angron or just a puppet for the nails?

[valid needle]

Yes of course it is a puppet

[vagrant fox]

yes

[celest dome]

All of the Primarch were meant to be puppets, just beacons through which the Emperor would project his influence and power.

Just like the Deamons of the Chaos Gods

[storm jungle]

Alot of the traitor primarchs are

Angron is probably ironically THE most understandable one

the others are just "WAH WAH WAH"

[vagrant fox]

Angron is my favourite one and I still think he's a brainlet
Waa waa die with honour in combat. Brother if you want to die in combat just throw yourself at the emperor after asking for an audience

[queen laurel]

He crash landed into a world he immediately got enslaved and he got mechanical implants pierced into his brain and his only family when he decided on a revolution was killed right in front of him yeah it doesn't make the nicest person I reckon

[valid needle]

Konrad has paranoid schizophrenia and delusions leave him alone

Are there any undiscovered technological advanced species in 40k? or any stories about lost megastructures created by these beings discovered by IoM or other major factions?

[tough haven]

Theres piles of "Undiscovered tech or structure" all over the galaxy

[storm jungle]

It depends.

[celest dome]

THe Old Ones ?

[storm jungle]

40K exists to make any homebrew you want, the answer is "yes".

"advanced alien ruins" is like one of the most used sci-fi tropes lol

[wintry cloud]

Wheres the wolf guy

I need his knowledge

hwat for

I wanna get some AoS khorne infantry models

Personally I like Peter Turbo the most cause you just see how far perfectionism, nihilism and pride take that man as he grows more and more embittered

Bro literally sees the flaws in everything

[storm jungle]

Probably.

Slopmarchs.

[wary fulcrum]

I dunno man, I think Angron might win that one

Not because he’s good, but because E is a bitch

[crystal forum]

i wish i could feed on gman's slop

i want it

[crisp heath]

slop on the cob

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if it would make sense to do a 40k verison of this, but it's a knight pilot instead and they're just carrying ranged weapons from his knight.

[celest dome]

Not much sense

But it's the Imperium, so could work

[jade holly]

Kinda reminds me of the Triumph of Saint Katherine

[celest dome]

But make more match with some Admech with some of their Ordinatus

[rose thorn]

This is my favorite the old world model concept

I wish cities of sigmar had something similar, but it isn’t impossible to kitbash

[celest dome]

A maybe more fitting take of that could be:
Dreadnought wreck being held aloft by Chapter Serf, with the 3/4 dead SM being only able to pull the trigger of the gun it is attached to

[rose thorn]

I could see there being a sisters of battle unit like this

[nocturne crest]

I forgot that existed.

[jade holly]

The Triumph of Saint Katherine lol

[nocturne crest]

There is, I forgot about it.

[nocturne crest]

Time flies. It's a 5/6 year old model now.

[celest dome]

Covid has made time keeping so difficult tbf

[nocturne crest]

Yeah.

[jade holly]

Are the EC models still considered new?

[shadow plover]

Yes

[nocturne crest]

Yeah, I don't think it's been a year yet since they were shown.

[shadow plover]

I still have the launch box next to me unopened so it has to be new

simple as

[sacred bluff]

@storm junglehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbzAifF0hlM

your husband

primarch brothers meeting soon???

[storm jungle]

Already watched it in the morning.

Too slow, haha

[nocturne crest]

Yeah, that's a good angle on it. Maybe have servitors carry it.

[last stone]

Wait the Lion is back? So there are now 2 loyal primarchs running around?

[shadow plover]

He's been back like 3 years now

and no they've not met

[last stone]

Whaaaaat

I missed that completely

[shadow plover]

it was the 9th edition end event, him and Angron returning

[last stone]

Then again, I don't particularly read a lot of dark angels. I did read about Cypher, and I like him a lot

[shadow plover]

The Lion novel that was released a while after he was revealed to return was an absolute gem

[last stone]

I thought angron was always around, or was that when he went after Ol' Bayleye

[shadow plover]

makes DA finally interesting

Well his re-return

[last stone]

Guess who's back, back again

[shadow plover]

quite so

[last stone]

What's it called? I might be able to read it, if it's interesting

[shadow plover]

The Lion: Son of the Forest

9/10 book, among the best one off books in 40k

[last stone]

Ah okay, thanks for the advice

[shadow plover]

[last stone]

The aero smth books are also surprisingly good reads

[shadow plover]

aeronautica, yeah. I've heard they're very very good but I've yet to read/listen them

they're on the list though

[heady rivet]

Aw man whats wrong with it

[last stone]

Holy shit that's a bright info page

[heady rivet]

Yeah its more accurate to break the Heresy into phases, and the first 75% of the Heresy would be the SoH and Word Bearers

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if the Ravenwing will get an update.

[fervent geode]

Yep big agree

[fervent geode]

Sammael love never

[heady rivet]

Word Bearers cut off most of the fighting-strength loyalists, SoH kick everyones ass from Istvaan to Terra, Night Lords troll the Dark Angels hard. Then Terra humbles everyone but the Iron Warriors and is basically the only guy that can form a coherent thought anyway

[fervent geode]

Yep, and also credits to Morty for being the stable competent hand first at Istvaan V/Molech and then after Perty left Terra

[winter pine]

I do like the Great Crusade and Heresy gimmick of the Death Guard being total scorched earth, no weapons are off limits warfare

[fervent geode]

Destroyer weapons? Nah cmere inductii and tac squads

Phosphex for all

[winged jacinth]

Not to mention the emperor lived through the DAOT and the Men of Gold, probably as a scientist in both eras lol

[winter pine]

I love phosphex for being considered bad news even by the standards of 30k and 40k lmao

[winged jacinth]

They should reveal that the men of iron are the emperors fault

[fervent geode]

The DG are ultrabased for spamming it +10 purity seals

[fervent geode]

Eh it would be a little emperor centric imo

[winged jacinth]

tries to defear chaos with souless machines
forgot that terminator movie he watched 20000 years ago

[fervent geode]

He was supposed to be on the down low before the unification

[winter pine]

Forgot the message of the kid saving the world by lying to the terminator cop, smh

[winged jacinth]

And then they created terminator armor as an eternal reminder...

I mostly think it would be funny to tack even more huge fuckups on the emperor

[fervent geode]

Termi armour was supposed to replace astartes power armour, god i wish we had 100s of thousands of lads in tartaros duking it out

[winged jacinth]

"When working with serbian nationalist group the Black Hand, the emperor accidentally..."

[celest dome]

@queen laurel Was it you who said that Eternally was really embodying Eternal's way of talking ? If so I agree with you

[last stone]

Ooooh no

[winged jacinth]

I personally think the emperor should have a 42000 year track record of fucking up

Make him responsible for the bronze age collapse

[fervent geode]

The Emperor called over the sea people

He had the Peleset, Weshesh and Tjekker come over to fight chaos, it didnt go so well

[winter pine]

The emperor thought it'd be a great idea to put lead pipes all over Rome

[last stone]

The emperor accidentally pressed the "dive" button on Atlantis

[arctic talon]

What do you require from me

[arctic talon]

No evidence of Khorne stuff being refreshed for 4e.

They already got their release wave. None of the reliable leakers have given info on any blades of Khorne stuff.

However based on how GW has done some boxes recently, I’d not buy any bloodletters

[wintry cloud]

Well 5e technically or something
Didnt see anything for khul?

Cause apparently its for the end

[arctic talon]

Khul is likely up for a refresh

[wintry cloud]

So just him

[arctic talon]

Either this edition or next

Yeah

5e is a while off

[wintry cloud]

Ty

[arctic talon]

And honestly new blades of Khorne

Would likely blend in well

With the current range

[fervent geode]

The Emperor convinced Scipio Aemilianus to raze Carthage

[storm jungle]

Shoulda looked up bozo smh

[jade holly]

I have good news boyos

I managed to get me a Necrons Battalion

[rose thorn]

What do we think is preorder tomorrow

[jade holly]

Idk

I got what I wanted

Also Titus isn’t sold out yet lmao

[rose thorn]

I like the spearhead / combat patrol sized battalions, I hope they do more of them

[jade holly]

Now I just need one for Crypteks and Canopteks lmao

[daring creek]

Good day homosexuals

[vagrant fox]

sounds like a slur to me

[proven needle]

I was tempted to get the terrain, but that price tag is ridiculous.

[jade holly]

$250

The same price as all the models in the battalion if bought individually

[rose thorn]

What terrain?

[rose thorn]

That’s the same price as a full battalion box lmao

[proven needle]

https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/boarding-actions-terrain-set-tomb-world-2026

[rose thorn]

OH THE KT BOX lmao

Wiat

Is thsi literally

2 killtwam terrain sets stuck together

[proven needle]

I think so, yes.

[rose thorn]

The KT terrain is baller af I heard someone kitbashes it into a uh…

https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/killzone-tomb-world-2025?srsltid=AfmBOopglD4CTf11zh_ieD1liM9pf4CLikw-tAxvjP5lA5lbT3LCv9Fw

What’s that thing called

The floating box

[proven needle]

Monolith?

[jade holly]

Obelisk?

[surreal nest]

wow they actually have new boarding patrol rules

i thought they tossed that

[jade holly]

Honestly, I’m surprised I pulled it off getting this

I was fully anticipating that I’d have to just get Aza’gorod instead

[rose thorn]

I wonder if this box got scalped or not

[crisp heath]

so the imperium does have their version ofcanoptek scarabs

[jade holly]

Yeah but ours is cooler

Plus Imotekh modified some to work as homing beacons for Flayed Ones

[storm jungle]

I dont think archivids can vore entire planets

[languid meadow]

Yeah they're called cherubs

[storm jungle]

or atomize the shit they bite

or build entire cities

[jade holly]

Wanna hear something funny Dilara?

[languid meadow]

they should give cherubs guns

[arctic talon]

not really

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

i mean its a start

[jade holly]

The Titus kit is still not sold out on the site

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Midus

[jade holly]

The Nightbringer too

[storm jungle]

LOL

[arctic talon]

still up lol

[jade holly]

We stay winning

[crisp heath]

just had an amazing OC idea just to find an already existing art for it

[rose thorn]

What was it

[daring creek]

Just do it

Originality doesn't exist in a true way

We all copy something else one way or another

[rose thorn]

On the topic of OCs, making my pathfinder character and I’m trying to think what to add and change for the design

He’s a ghost that possessed a scarf

I’m thinking he was a paranormal investigator? Someone suggested giving him a beanie

[crisp heath]

Idea for Night Lord raptor OC who's heavily mutated, thought about jump packs are kind of limited so thought of making him animalistic came in and what animal suits Night Lords more than bats?
well not that much of an original idea since i found this instantly on pinterest

[rose thorn]

I’m gonna make the scarf even bigger

[jade holly]

Give him a cigarette lol

[rose thorn]

Oh your hero hammer character

[rose thorn]

Idk if ghosts smoke lol

[jade holly]

This is a ghost possessing a scarf smh

[crisp heath]

im probably still going to make it, just going to change it around a little bit

[rose thorn]

True

An issue is I have come up with a personality yet

[crisp heath]

hero hammer?

[rose thorn]

I’d say anvil of apotheosis, but that’s an AOS term

[crisp heath]

not familiar with that term

[last stone]

Didn't raven guard also get mutated raptors due to Alpha legion shenanigans?

[rose thorn]

Yeah and they were put down like dogs lmao

[last stone]

As they should

[crisp heath]

do you really think the IoM would tolerate any mutations?

lol

[rose thorn]

I suggest writing down a nutshell of your character idea, and if it feels too similar to something, change 1 word, then change one more word and so on until you feel like it’s original enough

[jade holly]

Ship of Theseus ahh plan lol

[rose thorn]

Yeha lmao

[crisp heath]

I mean his story will be different but I'm just going to change around his design rather than completely bat features as mutations

[wintry cloud]

Boys we got em

[storm jungle]

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

[jade holly]

What’s with the dancing Obama gif lmao

[storm jungle]

bro is getting real political bribery

[wintry cloud]

Thats how i was moving

[last stone]

Did someone say catgirls?

[crisp heath]

They're still treated unfairly and are just kept around because they some times have some use

[storm jungle]

Thats the joke.

Die.

[crisp heath]

most of the time they're getting killed

[storm jungle]

[crisp heath]

you see

[jade holly]

Wyd if me and the boys pull up like this

[crisp heath]

it's difficult for me to understand social clues

so uhhh

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-gif-17556910517109081583

[last stone]

@storm jungle get naked, like, naked all the way to my atoms probably

[jade holly]

[storm jungle]

What the fuck

[crisp heath]

dude

what

[last stone]

They gave flayers right?

[jade holly]

THOSE ARE NOT FLAYED ONES

[last stone]

No the guns that strip all the atoms

[crisp heath]

yeah biological atoms

youre not getting naked youre completely turning to dust

[last stone]

"Exposing myself to the outside" didn't sound very good either

[crisp heath]

does someone have

the clip of the Iron Within animation

of the Iron Warrior

smashing a guardsman heads in

[last stone]

Hahah

[crisp heath]

for doing the aquila in front of him?

its such a funny moment

i need it saved as a reaction video

I did it myself

A lil longer version

[arctic talon]

Ngl

I expected his head to explode

[crisp heath]

Same but tbh it was more of a backhand slap

[daring creek]

It was a slap

A punch his head would've been made gumbo

[crisp heath]

seems like what hit the guardsman was more of his forearm than his hand

and tbh with the blood that splats i think it DID blow up his face where it landed just not his entire head

[jade holly]

Whatever the case that’s a snapped neck

[crisp heath]

oh yeah hes dead

[daring creek]

No i think hes ok

[crisp heath]

hes doing ok compared to these guys

[storm jungle]

goofy ass

[daring creek]

Hes ok

[crisp heath]

I love this one so much just the non-chalant shooting

[daring creek]

Oh yeah guardsmen have a hard time telling traitor marines from loyalists right

Unless its very obvious

[jade holly]

Crushes one guy

Other Guardsman: must’ve been the wind

That is an IW right?

[winter pine]

I love this setup in a novel lmao

[crisp heath]

This planet has not been in contact with the Space Marines for ages- and the only ones they knew of were the space marines who were there 10k years ago which unfortunately for them were the Iron Warrior's
They didnt know of the Heresy and when they called reinforcements

they showed up

[winter pine]

The Lords of Excess book where the Emperor's Children bullshit the Imperial Nobles had me laughing, I love it

[crisp heath]

The ONLY reason they showed up is because the leader we see leading the assault was taken from this planet

[crisp heath]

Yes

[crisp heath]

To be fair, they were shooting the Dark Eldars that were invading the planet so they might've been thinking the noises were something else

[opaque coyote]

EC MFS are master trolls genuinely

In another timeline they would've been Tzeentch

[jade holly]

Peripheral vision says otherwise lmao

[crisp heath]

Context of the show is that the Dark Eldars were doing multiple night raids troughout weeks or months and kidnapping people and stuff

safe to say these guys were exhausted

[opaque coyote]

By superfeyn

The freaky T'au died doing what she loved...

Being eaten out by her Kroot GF

ba dum tss

[crisp heath]

Way better with the previous comics of them interacting together

makes it more impactful

sad death

[opaque coyote]

Genuinely fascinating given that Xenos perspectives are always interesting

So of course there would be something like this

[winter pine]

unless I'm mistaken isn't it a huge taboo for the kroot to eat a tau like that

Double tragic

[opaque coyote]

This

The Kroot is confirmed alive, with Mara and the Old Water Caste guy.

So I wonder what happened

[crisp heath]

funnily enough I bought the Developers Digital Pack for the Dark Heresy game

and i still havbent played the play test

[jade holly]

Is it possible for a Deathmark to become a mercenary?

[opaque coyote]

I can't imagine being the Kroot's lawyer ngl

"Your Ethereal honor. My client is innocent for she consented to be eaten."

[crisp heath]

anything is possible if you make enough excuses for it

[crisp heath]

yeah literally this

plus with previous context of their relationship

makes for a beautiful death

[opaque coyote]

Still would be awkward as hell in the court room though

Well provided that the Kroot didn't just lie and say that she is MIA

[jade holly]

Given how rigid the laws of Tau are I don’t see that argument working

[opaque coyote]

Or blew up by a grenade

Like genuinely it would be easy to hide given that it's during a battle

All the Kroot gotta do is not accidentally swallow the dogtags

[crisp heath]

i mean in the middle of the battlefield where no one is close to know what happened

who cares

[storm jungle]

Not really no

Necrons are oathbound

theres no "mercenary" work for them

[jade holly]

Yeah and Deathmarks are extremely loyal to their dynasty

[storm jungle]

Yep. They are literally political pocket assassins

their loyalty is certain

[jade holly]

rip the idea for a Necron Deathmark fighting as a mercenary for a Rogue Trader lol

[storm jungle]

helps that they are complete creeps so they cant exactly be swayed

the only ""free"" necrons are the triarch praetorians

who are like nomadic judges that travel in-between dynasties

and sometimes even primitive human cultures

[jade holly]

I mean unless you do some wack ass logic and have a dynasty or tomb world form an alliance with a Rogue Trader and the Overlord leases them a Deathmark

But good fucking luck doing that

[storm jungle]

That would only be possible if a "nice" Phaeron or Phaerakh wished it so

[opaque coyote]

Stupid question

Has anybody tried to take control of a Necron Soldier?

Use it as their own personal terminator?

[storm jungle]

so it isnt impossible

you just need a huge cloak

[storm jungle]

You cant.

necron tech is so advanced its basically magic

[opaque coyote]

Figures

[jade holly]

Your best option is Zandrekh as long as you keep a safe distance from Obyron lmao

[storm jungle]

Nah you can just homebrew

[jade holly]

True

[surreal nest]

bro why the fuck is larian so adamant on AI usage for concept art they just refuse to not use it lmfao

[jade holly]

Speaking of can a Cryptek overthrow an Overlord and take over a Tomb world?

[storm jungle]

Everyone is AI

including you

[storm jungle]

Yes.

They'd need a really good reason for it

but its possible

[surreal nest]

im the jacking bot

[storm jungle]

remember that Imotekh basically did the entire thing

[jade holly]

Overlord getting in the way of their experiments or studies

Some people just wanna graft themselves to a Canoptek Spyder to see what happens

[storm jungle]

Remember that crypteks are super-scientists that you need to keep appeased

or fearful of you so that they dont get ideas

[jade holly]

Meanwhile Orikan and Szeras are just “fuck off I’m working”

[opaque coyote]

Bruh-

[jade holly]

[storm jungle]

Kinda.

Both still appease their masters

Szeras needs a lord or he cant get subjects and materials

Orikan does the same, hes just slippery

[jade holly]

Actually yeah isn’t Orikan scared of Imotekh?

[storm jungle]

Yeah lol

Orikan is a sniveling worm

he just has timetravel powers

[jade holly]

Almost every Necron is tmk

[opaque coyote]

Is there such thing as a rogue cryptek

Or again

Impossible

[storm jungle]

Possible but would be iffy.

Necrons are really huge on loyalty

you being a "rogue" cryptek would have you be extremely criticized and looked down on

[opaque coyote]

Damn now I wanna make a Japanese themed Dynasty

Ehhh

[storm jungle]

oh my god

[opaque coyote]

Nah

[storm jungle]

stop shoving japan into everything you fucking weebs

lmao

[opaque coyote]

Egyptian too goated

[jade holly]

Daimyo Nobunagekh

[last stone]

Maori then

[storm jungle]

no

[jade holly]

NobunaTEKH

[opaque coyote]

Even though they're millions of years old, they're not immune to Place, Japan.

[storm jungle]

white people need to come up with any culture to ruin i swear

[storm jungle]

no

[opaque coyote]

I'm not even white

I'm Chinese which makes it worse

[storm jungle]

same thing

[opaque coyote]

[jade holly]

I ruin ALL cultures smh, even Scandinavian….

Viking Necrons…

[opaque coyote]

Chinese Dynasty would also go hard

[last stone]

Go on...

[storm jungle]

no

people be like

"I got a totall cool homebrew idea"

Just uses Samurai, Vikings or Knights

[jade holly]

In reality tho what sort of accents would they speak with?

[last stone]

Teutonic necrons

[opaque coyote]

Honestly surprised we haven't done a Scottish themed Imperial Knight Dynasty

[jade holly]

Cause Russian does not feel right for them

[storm jungle]

Im gonna throw up

[last stone]

Gibberish

[storm jungle]

It exists

[opaque coyote]

Given that it's Necrons

Mostly

"..."

[crisp heath]

Do I pass the vibe-check for not using any of these for my homebrew ideas?

For now.

Whole aspect is trading out SM to the Ecclesiarchy as Bodyguard for Bishops and such

But they're not religious/faithful, they're just doing it for thebmoney

[last stone]

Space marines and money?

[crisp heath]

mine is mostly based off stuff i like outside of nations such as transformers and other factions from other settings

some times i just copy multiple characteristics from already existing stuff in 40k

[storm jungle]

Great idea and one we KIDNA got with Mentors.

But in their case they send out 1-2 Marines to act as military helpers and advisors.

so your idea ironically isnt that far fetched lol

[crisp heath]

what if dorn is actually conquest from invincible

taking a detour in the warp

[storm jungle]

The Council is waiting

[jade holly]

• Fights as both an underhanded ambusher and honorable duelist
• Skilled duelist but not above using dirty tricks mid duel.
• Experimented with his own Necrodermis body, grafting Hexmark arms to himself for hidden guns
• Despises the weakness of inferior organic species, slowly succumbing to the Destroyer Curse
• An avid devotee of Imotekh, his dynasty swore loyalty to the Sautekhs.
• Always has by his side a unit of Warscythe wielding Lychgard that match his aggression and charge alongside him, using his translocation shroud to always be nearby.
• Enjoys being seen as an icon of dread and terror toward humanity, often leaving one human alive to spread his name further.
• Repulsed at the idea of reverse bio transference, will actively sabotage any progress made in the studies of it.

Is this lore accurate at all

[storm jungle]

Is this a Phaeron

Nemesor

[arctic talon]

I’d assume so

So if they’re not a Phaeron it would have to be their tomb world

Not a dynasty

[storm jungle]

^

[jade holly]

He’s not the leader of the dynasty, but he’s still a part of the dynasty

[storm jungle]

A lot of these bulletpoints are pretty standard necron stuff

[jade holly]

Like how Zahndrekh is still a member of the Sautekh dynasty

[crystal forum]

first time i've seen somebody pitch a character here that isnt a space marine or human

[jade holly]

Honestly the main one I was wondering was the grafting Hexmark arms to himself

idk if that’s even possible in lore but given how Necrodermis works surely it’s possible

[storm jungle]

Why would he need to do that.

just have him have advanced tech that does the same thing

[crystal forum]

you can literally do anything with necron tech

[storm jungle]

^

he doesnt need to graft anything

[jade holly]

One because more arms is funny

Two it helps further explain his descent into Destroyer insanity

[storm jungle]

I mean

[jade holly]

By actively using Destroyer tech

[storm jungle]

Destroyers dont raelly have special tech

its literally just gauss/melee weapons

you can have him just have those

[jade holly]

Yeah but it seems any tech they do use can be contaminated

based on what I read in The Infinite and the Divine so far

[storm jungle]

Yeah so it being a hexmark thing isnt really needed

you can just have him have multiple arms lol

[jade holly]

Fair enough lol

But yeah this guy is meant to be my take on a 40K lore accurate General Grievous

[arctic talon]

Ah so the dynasty is loyal to imotekh, unrelated to his own stuff

[storm jungle]

yeah was gonna say lol

[crystal forum]

make him look freaky with like 6 arms

[jade holly]

Hence the Nemesor title

I can’t do Necron names well so I just went with Grievekh lmao

sounds Necron enough

[arctic talon]

Reset the grevious necron oc clock/j

[jade holly]

Yeah, but he himself is fanatical about how much he looks up to and respect Imotekh

[crystal forum]

is that a common thing wolf

[rocky gale]

Nemesor Grievekh checks out as a Necron name tbh

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Yes

[crystal forum]

nemesor sounds like eversor

[arctic talon]

Ish

Jokes aside it’s cool

So I don’t care lol

[jade holly]

In my defense I didn’t make Grievous in 40K I made a Necron who operates similar to Grievous

[rocky gale]

Nemesor is an anctual inlore Necron title

[jade holly]

I went the other way around

[crystal forum]

i didnt take you as a necron enjoyer

[rocky gale]

I'm not

I just know many things

I am a knowledgeable individual

[crystal forum]

do you know how to get bitches

[jade holly]

But yeah I like the idea of him slowly going more and more insane but in exchange becoming more and more dangerous because he’s becoming a destroyer

becoming almost gluttonous to the idea of being a nightmare over humanity

[crystal forum]

you know, i havent even thought about the idea of a necron who just really wants to kill all humans and just goes around killing everybody

[jade holly]

Tbf that’s just a Destroyer lol

[crystal forum]

would be pretty scary to come accross that in an underhive

[storm jungle]

Jay do you like

know any lore at all
