oh we've got a meny nearby, guess i can poke around
Maybe I should move back to the Faroes, it's pretty isolated from the rest of the world
except for perfidious d''nes and n''rwegians
and asshole icelanders sometimes
airsick lowlander
don't stormlight reference at me
Aren't we only halfway through that dorkass series
Sanderson is like a shark he has to keep writing or he'll suffocate
2 books last year or something, I'll believe it
he's a machine that turns mormonism into surprisingly woke fantasy settings
at least one new novel this year apparently, tough not stormlight
those books were getting kinda long
Better than wheel of time at least
he did finish the wheel of time series after the author died lmao
Rhythm of War was pretty interesting but not very exciting for the most part, I felt the same about half of Wind and Truth
I know not that i got that far in wheel
Those books are so long and nothing happens most of the time
i read them as audiobooks which helps a lot with the bits that drag, but it also means i have to look up all the art online afterwards
And i liked god emperor of dune!
though there's usually an audio description of it
Reckon I'll pick up Malazan again, it got a little hard to keep track of
malazan?
Malazan is great but yeah its a web
Malazan Book of the Fallen, epic fantasy series, maybe the best one
Even longer than wheel of time ironically but so much happens
It's a high fantasy from the late 90s yeah, the writing I got through was really intriguing but you gotta keep on it
I went through The Fellowship of The Ring as a break, surely I'm rested now
Its written in a (GURPS?) campaign setting the authors made, which made the worldbuilding super well considered and interesting and makes the story feel like it exists within the world rather than the world existing for the story
At least it's not FATAL
Its modular so no one gurps the same anyway
gurps isn't bad
it's good actually
it's just a lot
FATAL is the type of rpg where i wouldn't be surprised if the author burned down a church
I'm gonna sound like an insane person here but GURPs is good if your DM is willing to work with it.
Gurps is like the unicode of role-playing systems
no yeah gurps is good
Isn't FATAL unfinished?
I feel like that's true for most systems but yeah
fatal is horrid
Its made to do everything which means its complicated
i read the actual rulebook it's so fucking bad
Fatal, content aside, requires you to solve quadratic equations in play
Yeah nah
Its bad
also you are constantly rolling on the worst tables
There's 2 or 3 editions of FATAL so I'd assume it's finished as it can be
Negative anal circumference is a funny bit
I'd rather just do a PBtA system where it's all kinda interpretive.
you can have an attack unintentionally turn into sexual assault it's unbelievably uncomfortable
Its by and for deviants
Jason Sartin, which described it as "the Necronomicon of role-playing games", in addition to "fundamentally broken in its attitude towards sexuality" and characterized by "bitter misogyny".
It occupies a certain zone of morbid fascination in my brain
THE SCENE
pbta systems are often v good, i'm a massive fan of flying circus
Pbta is too simple and flexibld to really be bad
Ive been playing daggerheart, matt mercers new system, its... its weird!
flying circus has a really cool world, and an unbelievably complex world war 1 airplanes simulation model bolted onto it
in a good way
It has some good ideas some bad ideas
It requires a table to have its own like improv discipline going already to ensure focus is spread out
Its really not resilient to a mechanically minded party
Its honestly really different from 5e
i strongly dislike D&D
If has more in common with stuff like pbta
not that 5th edition is particularly bad
For groups that like want that RP stuff
D&D is alright it's just not particularly for me
but the way it dominates the rpg space sucks
Daggerheart is good if everyone keeps the machine running
The system has no guardrails though
If we were playing optimally we'd start every encounter with my character going 2-6 turns in a row
Really wanted to play Macho Women with Guns once but never got the chance
Macho Women with Guns is set in a near-future America where society has collapsed due to the misdeeds of the Reagan administration. Taking advantage of the earthly chaos, Satan has dispatched her female minions, the Batwinged Bimbos From Hell, to rebuild society in a form she approves of. The Vatican has responded to Satan's plans by dispatching its elite group of warrior nuns, The Sisters of Our Lady of Harley-Davidson to combat the bimbos.
peak
alright i need the edibles the writers were on for this one because this sounds crazy as hell
This is just a case of it being the one with the most advertisement + “iconicess” it’s always been dominant in the RPG space
It’s just more dominant now
Which is like w/e
It’s like the most inoffensive system ever in every single iteration
Aside from 1e
Whatever you could get in the 80s
grape stems
You ever play or run curse of strahd?
Yeah
It’s like
One of the only actually good 5e modules
And it still sucks
To run
No, is that a pun
Not really
Rime of the frostmaiden is the other 5e module I can tolerate running
Even if it’s got gaps
Anyways WOTC are fucking hacks
For modules lol
Does your group ever actually stick to the module?
forgotten realms is cool, but mostly because ed greenwood is cool
Yes
Truth nuke
Forgotten realms is cooler when you don’t run WOTC stuff lol
also vancian casting is a blight on rpgs
and there's too much variance in a d20 to use it for fucking everything
just 1-20 with no curve, what the hell
at least do like 3d6 or something
I'm just thinking of getting into the iron kingdoms RPG
D100 is the natural chads choice
the ffg games are alright
I'm alright with it
what about lancer
They're like d100s, but smaller
Lancer is D20’s
lancer is cool as hell, i have no desire to play it
Lancer is really fun to play ime
surely a giant robot suit
Like the actual combat in it feels good
True
Lancer is unironically some of the best combat in a ttrpg I’ve played
the horror
Though you def need to be a combat pilled person lol
It feels good as both a DM and a Player too ime
You have tons of nice options for encounter design
coolest rpg has to go to flying circus for me
I quite liked combat in the FFG star war system, it's so simple
What about on the role play side
coolest combat too i mean
Surely you don't have to turn armored core combat every time you play
Tbh mecha tabletoppers are going to be so its a good choice
cause it's just world war 1 airplanes
its good
You don't need a giant war robot to chat and have intrigue
The mech game that lets you add bits onto your mech to balance it properly
near the beginning of a flying circus session, the whole group is encouraged to make the engine noises from their respective planes, with instructions for what specific kinds of world war 1 plane engines sound like
Exalted ass character sheet
including weird experimental ones like pulse jets
The moment to moment gameplay is ironically very simple
the issue is downtime/RP in Armored Core 6's TTRPG
because you might be some fucking lobotomite who can't function outside of a mech lol
That's certainly different than exalted
Idk about the new edition but the last one was like
Attack > activate chain of 14 abilities > resolve attack
lol
it's funny that i play like the complete opposite of that
No crunch at all this thing is softer than a marshmallow
but my god i love it
downtime in flying circus is so funny. you just got back from flying the world war 1 suicide machines, you need to drink, fuck, and do drugs until the stress goes down enough that you can do it again tomorrow.
I love crunch tbh
Crunch is fun until you hit a certain point then everything just takes forever
I do agree with that
in fact the way you get xp in flying circus is by converting your stress during downtime
there's such thing as too much crunch
I personally do not have fun with lack of crunch tho
(shadowrun)
My friend who has played a number of exalted campaigns once told me "i've never played a game as solar exalts without at least one player having a jump distance of the horizon"
if you do not engage in self-destructive pilot behavior you will not learn
still hilarious this is what the player character canonically looks like in Armored Core 6
Shadowrun is the hour long equation to roll nade damage properly right
Hour is on the lower end but yeah if you throw a grenade indoors
its gona be awful
no it's just 20-30d6
I'll never forgive Halo Mythic for existing
Yeah
the equation is pretty simple
In Shadowrun, grenades have actual blast wave mechanics.
A grenade sends out a wave in each direction that has X damage assigned to it. If it passes through a person, it does that damage. If it hits a solid object, subtracts some damage from the blastwave according to the material it struck and then goes in the opposite direction if it doesn't do enough damage to outright destroy the wall/structure.
So if you're in the middle of a metal box when a grenade goes off, the 4 blast waves will hit you(Probably killing you), bounce of the walls, hit you again(Surely killing you), and rinse and repeat until the blast waves peter out as you are a fine mist in the center of the room.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of
i made a troll once in shadowrun who could simply tank a brain aneurysm and keep going
Trollish behavior
I need more mechaslop TTRPGs
preferebly in English
because I am not translating the entire fucking armored core 6 TTRPG rulebook
shadowrun is kinda shitty though, don't like to associate with that game anymore
bits of your SOUL go away if you use a prosthesis? what the fuck man
also like
You will play Mekton Zeta
lol
"there's no real difference between the races mentally (but trolls have lower charisma and intelligence)"
Tbf
I've never seen someone rp mental stats in a way that could also be called eloquent and tasteful
that's because they're rooted in some kinda shitty beliefs about human intelligence
limited room for nuance with that
I think theres also the issue of some systems literally making it so that lower mental stats literally means you are more idiotic from an RP perspective
I agree but the way I've seen people rp 8 int in dnd before is
Impressive
For all the wrong reasons
oof
jinx
Iirc
described as a normal person without a ton of education lol
Yeah
There is a character out there that has four intelligence
some people do
someone is playing something like that
making a bunch of cultural things into racial traits is also very uncomfortable
Never ask your players to rp the effects of getting hit with feeblemind
does intelligence represent inherent intelligence or education? why do orcs get less of it?
They kill everyone and then get killed by Titus
Dnd is at least trying to be better about this lately iirc
it is, it's true
it did not
4e and 5e just have none
Arbitrators will be sent in as shock patrols
it was very much there in 3.5
Sees an entire horde of Destroyers
That one Zealot with Maelstrom and Chastise: FOR THE MASTER OF MANKIIIIIIIND
Kinda like ogyrns sent in blazing with ripper guns
elves have an inherently weaker constitution than humans yet somehow live for 700 years
Ogyrn lore of them basically being overgrown toddlers doesn't sound the most tactically effective tbh
Every human being a variant human(kinda) by default now is funny to me
Who wins, a group of undying, unyielding machines that hate bio organic life to the microscopic level and outfit their bodies to specifically eradicate said organic life
Or
One lunatic drugged up on being called the Emperor’s good boy
Ik, I picked one every time without fail lol.
And I'm taking tough every single time tbh.
To be fair because they are kept kept around that intelligence level, a child is much more easy to manipulate than an adult
Yeah if humans were what they are in DT gameplay then itd go so much different..
What did they officially call it?
from the 3.5 SRD
Soldiers that follow orders are the only type of good soldiers
DND 5e 2024
According to the interior
Thats much less uhh
Our rejects make Khorne blush
which is a fucking mouthful
Doesn't roll off the tongue as well tbh
jesus christ they're good for nothing meat heads back in the day huh
Depicting races in TTRPGs is pretty tricky, I've no idea how I'd approach it without bumbling somewhere if I'd genuinely want them to be different
I call it 5.5e, 5.24e, 5e 2
I mean I played them like that but like Jesus Christ
I've seen it called a lot of things
Deliberately?
I sorta canon'd they're dumb as fuck from inhaling all the fumes on manufactum worlds or in the mines.
Only the most important stats are needed
Why be smart when big stick bonk hurt more
"these races are lesser than us mentally" type beat, clear lineage from gygax's bullshit
oh yeah no they are deliberately kept like that, their worlds they have progressed a bit in intelligence because they focus on survival so they would basically just Cavemen the thing is you can teach them
The newest ogryn in dark tide is a good example of that
Aren’t Catachans somewhat considered abhuman?
yeah ogryn aren't less intelligent, they're just undereducated
You think they're gonna do away with the math lore for oggys? I think they should since its pretty ablest.
That guy grew up with gangers therefore he actually knows how to haggle and think for himself
Makes sense
no they're just deathworlders
I think GW has been soft retconning the whole "dumb murder toddler" thing for awhile now
Which is good
Abhuman is just a legal designation from the Imperium
Since they're pretty much naturally borne space marines and having further knowledge will prove..problematic to say the least lmao
Aren’t the Kin so far detached from man that they’re not even considered Abhuman just straight up Xenos?
an abhuman is a stable mutation of human, specific kinds of abhuman aren't necessarily the same genetically
there's like 7 different kinds of ogryn forex
They're much less dexterous, and have less reflexes
Me in my head: Huh I'm a mutant technically
Again, it's a legal term, Squats and Kins are the same thing, one is considered Xenos and the other isn't
https://youtu.be/TTZojeJg8u4?si=jYlikI_rspBH3uvk this is an Ogryn that actually grew up and had to think for himself and wasn't undereducated by the place he grew up in
Voiced by Tim Bentinck, the voice of Victor Saltzpyre, the Heavy is a loud and aggressive Ogryn with extensive working experience among the cartels as gang muscle. Now he's lending his formidable brawn to Grendyl's warband together with the Hive Scum coming December 2nd.
This was an unexpected surprise. Sorry for the short video, but this was o...
But instead of being able to control metal or fly I got a pinky that’s bending the wrong way 
no they're abhuman by imperial reckoning, they're about as far removed from baseline as ogryn
This guy was gang muscle back in the day basically that was capable of looking for business opportunities
Everyone is a mutant
Life is a series of mutation
I heard him plenty yeah. He is pretty intelligent. I feel the others have been written to be a lil more smart
I bet the DH Og will be smart
NAh
I mean, smart compared to what Ogryn were 10 years ago?
Cog will be mid level Ogryn probably
The what Ogryn?
yeah basically the imperium that's not like ogryns like Heavy
Maybe the bonehead implant isn't stupid...maybe he just has a slurred voice from the implant 
Oh Dark Heresy
Dark Heresy
Nvm
not clear on what the bonehead implant is now though
Cooks your brain, apparently
It makes your brain smell like bacon if you think too hard
I really prefer it to just be a slurred voice but hes definitely been nerfed
the one brawler has is definitely malfunctioning
Bonehead don't make them smarter either, just make them better at following and remembering orders
But don't let that fool you the guy has the most combat experience out of the four
He's called the brawler for a reason
I like the one that keeps going ‘sah
might not be smarter than other things but you can trust him to beat people to death for you real good
that's brawler
ogryns call them scrappers but i don't think so
I don't think I've heard a brawler Og in one of my scum games yet tbh
Idk if it was the dodge tweaks or what, I don't see many Ogs at all anymore
Huh right
I don’t have GamePass anymore
Society
It’s $10/month for the cheapest version
So it’s not the worst thing ever
but still $120 for a year
Yall ever have canon looks for what the rejects look like?
Yeah, mine.
Zoinks
Everyone else designed them wrong.
Mayb
Used to be you could convert Essential (the $10 one) into Ultimate but the conversion ratio is pisspoor now
Wait whats the differences
Brawler is one of the more commons, for me. I think its rare I see a Bodyguard
What server you on?
Ultimate lets you play all the 1st party games for “free” and play them day one
Bodyguard is by far the most common ime
as well as giving a big library of other stuff
NA
Same
I hardly ever see it. That super genius I would have guessed was the least picked of the starting 3 tbh
Ime it's Bully
Brawler-Bully-Bodyguard is my guess
I’ve seen enough

You know who I really never see? Fem cutthroat
Male cutthroat’s performance is just too peak to not run him when you go cutthroat
Cutthroat is the Cadian, yeah
CADIA
Canada
FOR CADIA
Cutthroats whole gimmick is being cadian
Really? Thats weird. Like just no interactions with others or less variation in repeatable callouts too?
I'm ngl
Used to
And being absolutely jaded to everyone but the Savant
This game was the nail in the coffin for cadians for me
I miss when it was just anyone On Cadia at the time
I didn't think abaddon had a point until I played the early days of darktide where every vet was a cadian
Fem cadian seems a lot more chill than male
She seems colder
Everyone knows the real standout voices are the Psykers
Male cadian is probably on a constant verge of tears
I'll remind you all that you can play a Professional from Cadia that even says "I was ON Cadia!" to the Cutthroats "You all wouldnt last a day on Cadia" shtick. Confirming that Cutthroat isnt what Cadians are like. Thats just their poor coping skills
I like maybe exactly 1 psyker voice I'm ngl to you
That being?
Fem Loner
Grim
I like the seers
For me its Fem Savant
Now thats a rare pick
I like the VA work on both savants but they say nothing that actually interests me
Really?
I don't think they're insane from just being psykers. I think they're on human levels of tweaking out
Unironic m Savant enjoyment is rare ime
Male savant feels like the least-picked Psyker to me
I've seen a lot of in bad taste male savants
I like fem savant a lot more
That might be confirmation bias tho
I see so little male savant that when I hear one in my game I think "Oh wow, a male savant"
The accent feels less exaggerated
I just wish the savants had more interesting things to say
I guess I just like the more Lawful/Neutral good the male Savant has
I feel it every single time savant starts talking about "yeah the camelid racing is great" and basically any other voice goes "please shut up and focus on what we're doing"
they're imperial boot lickers
which is fine
but like still
oh yeah also
they love Tertium
Lowkey tbh? I think male savant has a low pick because he's obviously a black mans voice, genuinely. I can count the amount of player-created black guys I have seen (in 1400 hours) with one hand
I wonder how the loners haven't been offed yet
How many were not derogatory?
Cause Grendyl is a radicalist

Most of the black characters I've seen made in DT also have racist names ime
Actually none, but I didnt count the "UncleRuckus" the Ogryn
I don't either
I do count Black Fatigue the M Savant tho
I usually had my Savant named Samedi or Olorun because they were gods I enjoyed playing in Smite and I feel those names match the vibe of a Psyker
That shit made me do a double take when I first saw it ngl
Deadass I’ve only seen one for M savant 💀
That is derogatory
lol
Yeah
I have an idea for a psyker name now
???

kinda goes to show how good the banter system is
ive seen this convo so many times in the last 4 years
Doesn’t Male Loose Cannon have a thing for one of the Arbites?
Quote from guy who plays that personality
Let me tell you a thing or two about my boy
I forget which zealot voice is who
Loves cops
Which one is master of mankind
Agitator
The judge. And then..
Fanatic
K
Male LC flirts with fem savant, and makes a pass at the fem authoritarian. On both occasions, he is doing this after they prod him about his illegal activity. Fem savant arguably flirts back a little, Fem authortarian he has more a tone of just changing the topic and trying to fluster her to escape the situation
Be quiet Savant sloptopper
Billions must be French
🖐️
🤚
Is it Haitian french or
I really wish Agi got picked more
the cliche accent
They're a great voice
racism french
I wanna hear a Greek accent
Creole accent, so ehhh
Ah
With the Australian scum, allow me to make a suggestion. Canadian Admech
I always canon'd him lookin like the one in the game start screen
And the fem fanatic as the asian one
I rock Fem Agi, love her
That's defo fem judge
They should do a funny like Saint XIV where the VA blends Russian and Greek and it causes endless arguments
Southern Scum 
a yee haw hive scum
Fanatic
Yea that's how I see it
Fem judge is actually an Asian woman tho
Just because he's scottish?
Fem Agitator looks like mine
Haruka Kuroda
Yeah her VA is asian as well iirc
yeah thats her
She did stuff for Dynasty Warriors iirc
Actually an upper-class Southern accent would kinda go hard on a class, but not Admech
Nah a Doug Dimmadome Admech
Now we need one

M fanatic has multiple lines referencing that he drinks excessively on the valkyrie
Rip Jim Ward 
If I had to fight a 1/15 of what he does I’d be downing a whole pack of Daniels in between every operation too
Nevermind, I take it back. Dixie Admech NOW
I really hope one of the eventual admech personalities is kinda backwater tbh
Rural world tractor-fixer
Jim Milton?

I think I just got insulted by my friend
I'm getting a facefull of poe’s law from this
Yeah, this combines two of my interests, I like this
Does this dude know what space marines are
Clearly he doesn't
LMAO I REMEMBER THIS
the guy is an ultramarine fan too
fucking disgrace
Is it serious? Is it a joke? Dog I can't tell
Its serious
Why consider it as a joke when they're the joke.
Real
How very peculiar
He’s my GOAT in Dawn of Fire
Jokes aside more marine violence pls
I enjoy awful people
Yeah why do you think you play League You icon knave
More very awful imperials stat
The blood angel sounds like gabriel from ultrakill lmao
On god
I quite like how the space yiffer sounds
speaking of special characters, I was very suprised how genefather treated both the creations.
geez I am bad with names
the wolf girl beat ass
Wow its almost like that's greatly valued throughout the whole imperium
Trust me You have no idea how dense and utterly willing Warhammer fans are to ignore actually established lore
I definitely came
You can make up a new story where the imperium is the most imperium of them being evil and killing people
And they would still deny that as propaganda or someone that got through the GW and it's not making true lore
How do you get here though like
Perfect example of the ideal soldier?
He's right. He didnt even consider how those prisoners could have served in the death camps and be worked to death in brutal conditions to atone for their crimes. Horrible waste...he didnt even care to make their deaths serve the Imperium
I've talked to people people unironically trying to justify the emperor slaughtering billions of innocents during the unification wars
The dissonance of "space marines poster faction therefore they can't be bad"
Ngl this symbol is so weird for fucking telepathy
"The bad space marines have chaos in their name"
The UM codex supplement having them genocide a planet for being bleh a democracy
Pick up a book bruh
We both know that guy has never read a codex before
True my bad
YOU KNOW WHAT DOES HAVE A FUNCTIONING AND ONGOING DEMOCRACY THOUGH?
WE LOVE GANG VIOLENCE
i need this update right now
that blood angel voice line

SKIN PEOPLE AND EAT THEM ALIVE
Hello, Corpse Grinder Cult
:3
In my mind its like it was made for the assault class lol
Co signed
One day people will wake up to munda being the superior GW game
Wait do they have any ganger sets for kill team?
i hope they arent locked for classes

Every GW side game I've played is pretty goddamn fun tbh
I do not believe they do, but unless KT uses different scale why not mash em in?
I've heard great things about the ones I haven't played too
Battlefleet Gothic we miss you EVERY day
I got my rogue trader for fleet combat
Very excited for the space hulk dlc
Very excited for some new freak to romance
Basically cope
people legit think space marines are heroes due to most chapters being propagandized in actual advertisement
or people overwanking shitlords like Salamanders and Lamenters
DISGUSTING
MERCY IS DISGUSTING
Genuinely
They should portray more marines are just Adam Smasher
A blunt object for violence
Not my becca😢
We are NIGHT LORDS fans in this bitch you take yo sensitive Ultramarine ass back to the C-list punching bags
dude
I love how like
most accoutns that shit on these loyalist pfp guys are Night Lords fans
with like trans flag emotes on their names and shit, its SO fucking peak
really kinda shows you how most of them dont cope with "erm well we arent evil"
Well it's hard to act like a good guy when wearing skins is your vibe
Its INSANE how the Night Lords are truly good and never did anything wrong literally ever.
Big fan of the Executioners, personally
speaking of the sluts, I did just see this which amused me
I mean
Loyalists do shit like that too
but its "OMAGERD WOJAK"
Nightlord have legendary novels tho
the Imperium is systematic evil so you can hide that shit under glamor.
Wojak the polish artillery bear?
is this deadass
They ended the Stromak civil war is what they did! They're a heroic loyalist chapter! And in this house the Flesh Tearers is are heroes! End of story!
The crazy part is he's RIGHT
Well it's fanart but, more or less
NL unironically are one of the only warbands with good books
Wojak (from Polish wojak, pronounced [ˈvɔjak], loosely 'soldier' or 'fighter'), also known as Feels Guy, is an Internet meme that is, in its original form, a simple, black-outlined cartoon drawing of a bald man with a wistful expression.
The meme subsequently grew in popularity on 4chan, where the character became associated with phrases such ...
People really like their omnibus
I don't even like the NL and I can tell you it's good and pretty well written especially for a book about marines
It literally is the only thing that keeps them relevant
which is a massive achievement
Yeah
My friend barely cares about 40k and he said it was a great series of books
yeah see lmao
They've hired the author of the nl omnibus for the writing team for dark heresy 
if the NL Trilogy didnt exist Night Lords would basically be a bigger footnote than they are now
Yeah, most of em skip the actual lore part tho ime
Oh the PEAK that is the Night Lords. Even in the Alpha, you can feel their presence
You got NL, DG with lords of silence, and iirc a WB book coming out soon?
Talos' journey is self-contained because theres thousands of small NL warbands
Nah I mean like, proper coverage and writing, books from their pov
The cypher book is also goated in my opinion
Dalchian Rassaq, the Skin-Taker is single-handedly going to propel the Night Lords into the spotlight trust
Konrad Curze dragged back into life, kicking and screaming
Speaking of my OG Dalchian there was a SoB in that novel the height of a space marine, wack shit
I'd like to see more of her as well
Nice
WARNING! Weird fucking image. I love that the child safety act was touted as a way to "protect the children" yet the biggest fucking platform on the internet promotes scams like these without me providing ID. Very cool.
I swear scammers have the wildest fetishes
Not that its THAT out there but still
Salamander slander is justified, Lamenter slander is not 
Yeah, some real strange people
Like the Elsagate thing that happened a few years ago with Spiderman and Elsa BRO these people are weird
I've been getting those ones too and I fucking hate it
Youtube did like a huge purge of that stuff, yet seemingly, theyve changed their minds now as elsagate is basically back in AI slop form.
Ok can anyone help me come up for some ideas on how this character I’m writing might speak?
Nah they hung out with Huron till the end
They consistently get what they deserve
Come on Leggy I'm right here
Stop shit talking my green boys

not until they have a good and proper war crimes record
They incinerate unionizers and raze cities to the ground for being even slightly friendly towards aliens
one one billionth of what the goated Flesh Tearers get up to, they should up their game
If you like them and understand this it's fine
Yea
I hate the "heckin wholesome green chungus marine" people tho
I like them because they nicer than most marines and offer a glimmer of hope for civilians, but its also not hard to accept that they're still space marines
Idk why people have difficulty with that
Welcome back Pinkertons Detective Agency!
Also, one last thing: The fact that im forced to see that shit on youtube, yet i cant view any fucking image on reddit because i havent provided my ID is fucking insane. I was looking at computer parts today and i couldnt see any of the damn images because of this fucking child safety act! Billions must die. insert soyjak here Rant over
The pinkertons did what
Pinkertons were basically a private army around the turn of the century in the US who violently broke up unionization attempts
Broke up a strike in Pittsburgh around 1892 with a shootout that killed I think 16 people
Pinkertons sueing Rockstar is way too funny
The Homestead Massacre
oh god I forgot that they actually did sue Rockstar lmfao
Claimed it was slander / libel to show the horrible stuff they genuinely did in that era
If anything R* didn't portray them harshly enough
Didn't offshoots of them eventually form the FBI?
In 2020, they were hired by Amazon to spy on warehouse workers for signs of union activity.[5] In 2022, it was reported that Starbucks had hired a former Pinkerton employee as part of their union-busting efforts.[38][39]
Still at it for the love of the game it seems
Yeah they're bastards
On a bit of the same topic, this fallout 76 screenshot I took is fucking wild out of context lmfao
They did a good job with the whole protestors things in FO76
Silence, guy who knows more lore than I do
Someone who operates on vibes and brief snippets from wikis is talking
So you truly are a Lamentors fan
Yeah muhrines are all evil all the time, I just like the "little guys trying their best at only 200 strong who keep getting fucked" thing they have going on
Oh I'm not even saying they're evil
I'm just saying they willfully sided with a traitor until the very end
And neither had the balls to commit to being traitors nor the intelligence to fuck off when Huron was executing salamanders
Something something good intentions
I thought it was more about chapter autonomy than hating the Imperium
Hey, they were free then they were FREED What more do you want
Well
Like most causes
Divine intervention happened
Is war of the beast canon?
Yeah
Oof
Unfortunately
Why would it not be canon
On one hand, poor imperial Fists, on the other... LOOK AT HOW COOL THE ASSASSINS ARE
It was a weird story
It's smelly
But mostly due to the orks almost taking Terra
Theres weirder out there.
I mean, do you know how massive the ork invasion force was at that point.
50ft tall orks in power armour
Well yeah, he went through whole squads like toilet paper
The Beast beat Vulkan but Deathwatch killteams beat like 5 beasts off screen, explain that to me powerscalers
Vulkan operates on Slapstick rules where its funny for him to fail
although
There's that one part where the longshanks get killed by a space marine and it pops
the best part of the war of the beast
`A series of bangs resounded round the room. The ork’s chest blew out messily, showering Haas with viscera. She covered her face instinctively. A final shot rang out, bursting its head, and its huge corpse toppled towards her. Haas scrambled aside to see a giant warrior in black-and-white armour shove itself into the cell, bringing part of the doorway down. It was some kind of Space Marine, garbed in armour Haas had never seen: tall, high-backed, the helmet roughly square and formed of brutal angular plates, arms protected by massive shoulder guards.
A second stood in the door, watching his comrade’s back. ‘Thank the Emperor! We are saved, saved!’ shouted Marast. He flung his lanky body at the feet of the Space Marine, clutching gratefully at the feet of their saviours. The longshanks wept, disbelieving of their salvation.
The Space Marine nudged Marast away with its enormous boot.
‘Non-standard human phenotype identified. Loathe the mutant. Terminate.’
Haas curled up and clapped her hands over her ears as the Space Marines opened fire with their terrible weapons. The longshanks did not even have time to express their surprise before their fragile bodies were pulped by mass-reactive shells. The gunfire went on forever, the individual reports merging into one rolling booming. When it stopped, Haas was amazed to find she still lived. Her hands shook as she took them from her ears. The longshanks had been obliterated, reduced to a gory slick that dripped from the walls.
Her ears hurt agonisingly and she cried out. The Space Marine swung its blocky helmet in her direction, pointing its bolter at her. She screamed again, and the Space Marine moved his bolter away from her. When he spoke to her it was muffled, as if her ears were stuffed with fabric.
‘Human survivor located. You, come with us.’ The warrior pointed a massive articulated finger at her, the segments sparking with a power field. ‘The Emperor protects.’`
god it zoots
The misfortune of being unable to die in 40k
In that imperials fight imperials a lot, yes
In that a kill is possible, yes
An ogryn or a psyker could do a lot of damage, the others not in a straight up fight i feel
Couple of vets with plasma guns would do it
There's a bit during Fall of Cadia where a plasma gunner drops several World Eaters, so yes
and yes Psykers can literally crush a Space Marine with their mind
I mean, if even low rank commanders have refractor shields, wouldnt the marine have them too?
No
Oh
Nah, they've just got good power armour
I'm convinced that Grendyl is doing something behind the scenes to make the rejects way stronger and tougher than a normal baseline 40k human
Four rejects with that kind of plot armor against one marine? idk
I reckon it's just gameplay contrivance
Very likely I read way too much into gameplay handwaving lmao
A radical inquisitor doing some heretical ritual to power up the press ganged crack heads he turned into an army would be pure kino tho
We got even "lesser" examples of people killing space marines + what Iarmoth said so yes.
ooo the infamous spear incident
Nah like
they get stabbed, blown up, stab through by a rebar, fall to death, melted, melta'd, krak grenade'd, etc.
the perception people have of astartes just being invicible and unassailable due to some of the more popular animations is a big lame-o.
We got a marine in the Titus animation that gets shot in the face point blank with a bolter and it just does nothing to him because plot armor lol
Glave was him, but still
`“As Scourgemaster of the Black Fleet and leader of the Hounds, he had always known that in a stand-up fight he would lose one Berzerker for every fifty Guardsmen slain – a hundred, if the thing was done right.
...
Count our dead to theirs,’ he said to Artesia, and she flashed off his shoulders and circled. ‘How steep is the butcher’s bill?’
‘One Hound for every thirty mortal dead, master! They are standing unto death, bringing your warriors with them into the blood-sleep.’
‘And they say the Adeptus Astartes know no fear. Even the Corpse-Emperor’s sons do not throw away their lives with such wantonness. One Hound for every thirty. It is unthinkable. Perverse." `
Shit happens, there's a lot of normal dudes and a lot of ways to make the numbers matter
Low rank commanders don’t have refractor fields
Generally
it was a primaris bolt pistol
(for some reason lmao)
hold on
You used to have to buy the refractor fields
the bum ass cultist was not using that I need to see this
Before 7e
Yeah it’s a bolt pistol lol
Should def have staggered or dented him
^
Just bcs bolt pistols aren’t good at killing people in power armor
Doesn’t mean it’s like
On yeah for my AOS rpg campaign, the campaign’s first down happened yesterday
Immune
its the same as how in Astartes a marine just tanks dozens of multi-las shots (thats not how it works, he'd have been fucking shredded)
lol
They got blown up by a skaven warp thrower
Mmmmmm multi las
It’s cool for the scene
But it’s like
Silly
also refractors in darktide are just here for gameplay
the only one who prob has one is wolfer/the twins
even then
They might have stolen them lol
maybe
But yeah it’s likely only the captains/commanders
The Karnak twins have them bcs they’re nobles
Imo
Not due to rank
Maybe the morbiusers were just well equipped
what i hate is like
That would be a lot of refractor fields
it gives the impression that space marines ar ejust invincible
which is really annoying
at least 1-2 marines would have died in one of those ambushes lmao
Between the autocannon and the multilas yeah
The dude with the auto cannon also had atrocious aim lol
lmao
They miss everything
have had "lorgar" typed in here for like a week wonder where i was going w that
well yeah plot armor

his bald head was doing hypnosis
Warning COD voice chat so it goes about how you expect
Also delete it if it breaks rules
LMAO
LMAOOOOO

😭
my favorite was when talos and crew were accompanying them in battle and were just laughing at them and doing the equivalent of go white boy go as they also hurled insult at the nightlords
soon after the nightlords also stole their ship
you cant out rat the rat legion
Reminded me of this lmao
oof valrak had a house fire
Same vibe
average renegade marine a week after getting the nails in their brain:
https://youtu.be/KOQz377lo2U no CIS allowed...
The politics of the CIS, or Separatist Alliance, were very different from those of the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars, specifically in Star Wars Legends which we're talking about today. The Galactic Empire under Palpatine tried to play up similarities, but Rebel leaders like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa had different ideas on what was allowed within ...
Alliance to restore the republic
doesn’t accept the traitors who wanted to leave the republic
Big shocker
Why the fuck didnt they make it some fuckass pipe autogun
Trying to figure out the right combination of sherlock-y arrogance, noir film depression, and classic tech priest speak for my jaded collegiate extremis investigator character
the artist is indeed a puppygirl
And?
I recognize the style
shes very into warhammer yea
It would be like me not inviting "The 5th street puppykillers" for my community run animal shelter
Coward
Just watched someone call the guard poster child regiments
Kadians, Krieg and Katachan aka the KKK
💀
Well to be frank they do fight against aliens
Does anyone know why custodes like Diocletian and Vychellan were like that?
based
Diocletian is a little understandable even if he's still a cunt, Vychellan is just an asshole though.
They’re just like that, the Custodes were crafted to have a variety of personalities, including being massive assholes
You know, i fw that answer
emps just decided to male 10% of them dickheads for no real reason
Some humans are assholes for a variety of reason
True
Might as well make some of the Custodes the same way
But it is funny for the 9ft tall genetically perfected golden demigods to be ornery assholes at random
I didn't think it would, but the showcase got me interested in them
"Are you fucking serious?"
Heretics should stop buying weapons from Temu
First the Heretics in Astartes uses a multi-las from Temu
And now a bolt pistol from Temu

Jokes aside, yeah it should have at least thrown his head back
Ngl it would've looked awesome composition wise if his head was blown back, there was a dent, and the recitals like
Broke
Due to the force of the shot
But he still headbutts him despite his helmet looking worse for wear
It shows that they're still vulnerable and fallible to mistakes
But that doesn't make them any less deadly
I just imagined when it goes to the final panel there's just the spongebob
boowomp
It happens again when Titus jumps onto the tank — the cultist shoots him point-blank to no effect, and the cultist looks at his bolter as if he got it from Temu.
Heretics should stop buying guns from Temu fr
Honestly if they just switched those instances with like
A stub gun
Or a las gun
It would make sense
TC is heavily carried by the artists
First 100% vibes-carried setting
People dont talk about the political purge Mon Mothma did after Yavin anymore. The Rebel Alliance was a big tent party. Also, inherently, counter-revolutionary when you think about it 
didnt the new republic is starting to make the same mistakes the old one did too
Almost instantly + there were warlord states now
Gotta figure out a Dark mechanicum Scheme™️ that resulted in the death of my character’s surrogate daughter, a scheme that he later tries to interfere in as a layperson, leaving him horrifically mangled, found by mechanicus operatives and offered extensive reconstruction, in exchange for working for the Collegiate Extremis
god i love scuba suit looking armor
it makes me want to uuumm
🧑🦼➡️
wait wrong emoji
I'm ngl I love that armor too
Lmfao
I also want to person in wheelchair facing right when I see it
thats one of your kinks weirdo
FYI there are people on this planet who want their limbs broken as a kink
this is real and true
yeah we call that ryona
"We've got enough money in the swearjar to cover hospital bills, who wants their arm broken tn?"
"Who up getting hit by baseball bats rn"
You think Chaos and non chaos space marines in 40K will get a mini holding a boltgun/whatever gun you want and a shield?
"do you have any toys?"
"yeah pick one"
opens briefcase full of knives
like how the 30k has one?
you mean a breacher?
why would it
Just get bigger pauldron and use it as a shield.
Ok wait hang on
I’m learning Perturabo has a personal vehicle
And that it can house not only himself but his Iron Circle too?
HOW FUCKING BIG IS IT??
Clearly I’m underestimating how fucking big a Baneblade is lmao

more specifically its a legion shadow sword
You think he pretends he’s using an R/C car when he controls it on the battlefield with the Logos?
also btw it can only fit a single iron circle automata in it
if you want perturabo in it
Like the Battledroids in an MTT
