especially the gunner and their increased FOV mask
Like there's only the Civil Protection who are essentially just beginner mooks.
The Combine soldier.
The Combine shotgunner.
And the Elite.
Half Life Alyx has way better enemy design. Although it's partially because... VR. It's also due to there being more variety.

I like the charger design
that one animation was peak
it's good but it's bog standard
Gigantic armor plating with a big fuck off shotgun
theparrygod my goat
Resistance members set an ambush for the Combine in the abandoned outskirts of City 17.
A very short explanation behind this custom Combine model for my ...
this guy only makes peak
Yeah if they kept the cut baton it would've been more unique.
But it would've also been hard to actually have it be used in a VR game.
Maybe HL3, if it EVER releases, would have them use the Baton.
I just like how the HL Alyx combine Soldiers are more specialized in general
this mfer just stopped posting peak
The Combine soldiers in HL2 were fine. But after a while, they got boring because they pretty much just
Had zero variation
Yeah I know. It's clear that Half Life Alyx is partially what they would've done if Half Life 2 was made nowish.
HLX soon
HL3 better have a sequence where Gordon Freeman comes to my house and sucks me off in real life after a wait this long
Have more enemy variety with unique tactics based on their specialities
Tbf I think he works for a level designer* for a game now
So he's likely busy with that
If he didn't have a patreon running I'd cut him all of the slack

I guess it fits the combine MO that they would standardize the soldiers more. They are all about uniformity after all.

And that's the lore reason why the specialized soldiers in Half Life Alyx are gone
HL3 is gonna come out and be only available on the game sphere and you die in real life when the Combine shoot you
Also why they're much more human in Alyx. Although I like how the Ordinator explicitly has zero emotions even compared to the rest. With the Grunt having the least modified voice and still with visible emotions.
I still think the wildest part while playing it for a bit at a friend's house was like...
The Combine grunt whispering out an apology to Alyx.
When they die
Which was just kinda fucked up. Even with constant memory erasure, they still build up enough guilt.
In some ways, I wonder why would somebody volunteer to become promoted? Since they do mention promotion as a reward.
Or do the Combine just choose random Civil Protection to become soldiers?
Count down likely is probably something show related
I do not see a remaster coming
I know what the countdown is related to
but 3 remaster was leaked over a year ago with the obliv one
its 100% show related right?
cause its an amazon thing & nothing to do with bethesda
the ep is on thursday tho
And more importantly, due to Bethesda's work with the Fallout 4 Next Gen update.
Please never have them release a fucking remaster.
right
countdown spoilers ||It's a tour of the lucky 38||
It's today
u said...
6pm pacific standard time
Holy shit the Next Gen update fucking sucks.
Fallout 4 never had GOOD balancing.
But the next Gen update with it's content kinda sucks
Why is the Enclave here?

Also getting Enclave PA and Plasma weapons at like level 10 clearly isn't game breaking in any way, shape, or form!
The miniscule semblance of ""balance"" that Fo4 had basically got shattered
And the worst part is that downgrading is a hassle
And unable to be done on consoles
So if you're on console, good luck having half of your mods broken
fo4 locking crafting behind level gates way higher than the guns you can craft are useful at lmao
I am worried over an inhouse made remaster because of this
Because most remasters are complained about for being mid or being glorified bug fixes
I'm fucking worried that Bethesda will add new bugs to Fo3
And make optimization even worse
Because Fallout 3 and NV wasn't exactly friendly to lower end hardware on their release.
And the PS3
The PS3 basically got the short end of the stick for Bethesda games in general
It's rumored to be in house
||MR.HOUSE???||
Hopefully this isn't the case though
Although the Oblivion remaster is also kinda bad
Same engine just with UE5 overlayed

But at least it looks good
Minus the classic UE5 motion blur. Always turn that shit off
Why do people think motion blur looks good
Just fucking erase it
I don't think bro was pretending when he fell over
LMAO
"Have I ever let you down Master Dwarf"
fuck u trazyn i have a new model and you don't yet!!!!
only one with an old model!!!
New Trazyn model would take the Warhammer world by storm
and I hope in his model he holds a Tesseract Labyrinth
that would be sick actually
he should get a new model soon its such an obvious win
You better prepare an emergency cope kit.
HE IS EVERYWHERE
This piece of art has been used more then all of the salamanders chapter lol
Silver Templar
The cyborgs are nicer then super earth for offering peace 
Wait there's a tech on bridge again
Yea
If only it was cyborgdivers
Is she more or less brainwashed
There's some lines about being strapped into chairs and staring at powerpoint or something projections for hours
she's fine
she's the same
mostly
she was pretty brainwashed already
not much they can clockwork orange into her lol
And like all ultramarine successors they are cool, they are just better salamanders lol
Well the blacksmith side of them at least
Forced to watch Tiktok brainrot with the clockwork orange set up until the dissident knowledge is erased

Honestly I wouldn't put past Super Earth that the PowerPoints actually are some like
UltraMK type shit
Where there's subliminal messages that you unconsciously read without really reading them.
And it gets burned into your head as a result. Unable to be forgotten
I should play Outlast you're right
hilarious because she literally says they strapped her into a chair and showed her projections for hours apparently lol
Yeah it's the main focus of Outlast Trials, the short games are labelled "mk"
Her brains already finely polished from all the propaganda, a bit more can’t do much lol
Average MAGA user fr
Anyways uh funny tank is funny
It’s weaker then HD1 bcs this game is 3d rather then top down
But it still murders everything lol
It's a little clunky to use solo but that's to be expected
i hate how its not even a talk
Except to like a few automaton things
yeah gay ones
But no swivel is sad
It's just that gay swedish tank helldiverfied
get them out of my game
just change it a little
Oh my god lol
I like the tank
The strv 103 is labelled as a turretless main battle tank ☝️ 🤓
Y’know, there’s a Salamander or IW type of leader model I wanna see someday but idk how lore accurate it’d be
I havent seen a single bot tank tbh
Backshots
Tankshots
How does it do against factory striders
Only War/Factory striders
One shots them
Based on this guy
me and my friend insta-headshot one in Super Helldive
noice
Yeah
It one shots drop ships too
the fact that the only thing bringing this tank down is you having a proper crew is ironically extremely balanced lol
Imagine a Salamander who could form weapons made of pure fire and solidify them
Yeah I absolutely would not use the tank with your average HD2 random tbh
There's no chance my friendgroup can figure out how to crew one of those tanks competently
But idk if that sorta tech is in 40K
This is image too WE for my traitor brain, now imagine that as a WE Centurion
Cause the way Amon does it is forge drones that interconnect and channel the element through each other
Afaik sadly no
Yeah it would have to be that or a more warp related explanation
Fucking deletes them
Don’t eat too many hits from their big gun though
the swedish tank is cool actually
Amon has an insane amount of weapons he can make
Wrong ❌
tank is peak
Psyker can kinda do that
A tank that cant swivel should face abortion inside a factory
Wait wait wait
1st Captain Amon
Amon Tauromachian?
A whip and shield made of ice, spears and greatswords made of lightning, one handed axes, hammers, swords, a great axe, great hammer, another greatsword but fire this time
it can swivel
No it cant lmao
Tech wise, there are weapons tbst use extreme temperatures, but they're for thr most part still physical, just imbued (Sollex Power Sword being an exception)
you gotta turn the entire tank Batman style
It's actually pretty good btw
Considering some of the psychic powers salamanders get in the Deathwatch TTRPG is just summoning fire salamanders it's not too far off
wayyyy better than HD1 version but that's because we dont have the fuck ass top down lock
that swedish tank has milimeter precision on its turning
it's a tankhunter
Maybe an Iron Warrior who’s a bit more intrigued by the warp and chaos to get more corrupted but in turn uses the warp and engineering in tandem to a new level?
Would explain some stuff
Acts as more of an outcast among IW
You all laugh but this thing is actually good
they just nerfed enemies dmg against vics btw
I dont doubt psykerisms, tech is what is more curious
but there are more of them
I will not respect sw*de designs
So what they turned up enemy count but made them weaker?
yeah
just against vics
swedish military technology is like tide pool evolution for weapons, it's cool
it's to stop rocket devs from insta killing vics now
lol
Closest are Plasma melee weapons of the LoV (but still have a metalic form), and the Space Wolf Kraken stuff, which also has the same caveat
No tech based element shaping as we know yet, maybe the Necron have something of the sort
i mean that's what they call it in game
It's all gibberish to me
it's not my opinion
At that point if we go a Necron route it’d prob just be a form of Plasmancer
then again we don’t have a named Plasmancer do we?
world of tanks is a videogame it aint real
It's not an MBT
Hmm interesting
they call it a tankhunter
Afaik there is no necron tech which can do something like that
But ill admit i am no expert
POV: you’re fighting a Skaven army
It’s not an actual death counter unfortunately/fortunately
It’s just a timer
Like the great host fleet
Necron tech can basically do anything because its just space magic science.
ITS FUCKING RIGGED AGAIN?
Are there any Cryptek disciplines we don’t have represented on tabletop?
A lot tbh, you kinda see it a lot in the books
A cryptek could literally turn an entire space marine squad to gold
but they just dont
because plot
lmao
It would work if they picked containment fields and kept flames/ice...
But that's pretty contrived way of making a weapon, like the internal element wouldn't do anything anyway.
Just a containment/Stasis field weapon
And what value would they have for the gold smh
I like to imagine my cryptek in Killteam is too shit to do it
And that’s why they’re in Killteam
then why is he a cryptek
Because they’re a fucking bum
fucking lame-ass
True enough lmao
Inb4 a Psychomancer beams man kisser thoughts into your minds
Because he can shit out canopteks
Technomancer
Hmm thanks that makes sense
Stop ruining necrons, thank you
Szeras is a Technomancer right?
But i wonder if anyone has made it so
Why are you like this
I like when my xenos are actually competent
Yes
Alien commies aren't competent in my warhammers
The Destroyer Cult should be expanded on more ngl, I wanna see what Canoptek and Cryptek destroyers look like
I like to imagine all my killteams are subpar smh
This isn’t exclusive
Now shut up
I like to imagine you explode
but we cant all win
Gonna mount your head on my fireplace
Szeras is a technomancer yes
Buuuuuut
With a permanent angry face lmao
He has a plasmancer weapon so maybe he's a very
Szeras is a weirdo
Diversified type
Banned.
Orikan is both a Technomancer and Astromancer
STOP POSTING DICKLOCK
So it’s not far fetched
I think most crons are
Ye
Hes more of a weirdo then other crypteks
❌
I think you should experience the marrow furnace for this one
You have to realize this tank was made to sit in a forest and one-shot Russian tanks, so it does exactly that extremely well and is min-maxxed for it. If this were pushed into any other MBT role it would suck
👎
This thing is for munda
Always is, brother 
Finally someone agrees
Cocklock fans are the new Marvel Rivals wave of gooners
When I go to paint my models, should I make them silver with golden jaws?
hoping they all die in the deepest fires of hell
If you want
🙏
I think that’d look cool
❌
wtf was this person even doing
Fish don’t have teeth type shit
that person was a deadlock player
popular is bad
Its annoying
dumbahh
also watching you dingleberries talk about metagaming kills me
mobas are just evil, sad but true
Ok, let's narrow it down then.
What type in Munda, House Gang, or other
Imo it’s a Hired Gun/other misc stuff
Not a house gang
Abyssal prob
The shape of the stock is just weird
The colors on the screen overwhelm her she cant keep up
Kinda wild lifer, but not like the Ash Waste Nomad stuff
Its called hating, asking you guys to get some better taste 🙏
moba fans are so weird man
I cant taste ever since the explosion
good
There will be another
Why do you think I said blindfolded + squinting
💀
bro thinks hes Riddler
Deadlock still sucks though I had a guy last game who used every slur in the dictionary
Was not fun
Why do you hate me so
what did he mean by this
fallout 4 pipe weapon

Valve Time
Watch it be some random mutilated Araneus continuity gun
And that’s why it looks weird
my honest reaction
weirdo
There's nothing in the new Spire of Primus rules thats not modelled, is there? It was the Justiciars mostly getting their love. And its not Spyrer
It does look ever so vaguely like one of the sniper rifles in Rogue Trader if you squint a bit
New book already? 
Maybe I’m wrong and this is for some random hired gun
my bet on the rumor engine? Exodite....
No im on cope
The new one today? It’s a guard power fist
So it’s either necromunda or 40k
lol
So am I, but if Ace Combat can manifest that miracle at the Game Awards...
as much as I hate to say it, when its Exodites?
not the power fist the pole
Killteam in 3 editions from now 💀
I've decided it's a fucked up needle rifle
Oh the pole
Fuck if I know
Inb4 Cities of Sigmar
If it’s cities of sigmar im gona laugh my ass off
I've decided aos is for cowards now also
AoS Ironsides
Also, literally whatever you want. I'll jam that shit on an Eschet and call it a chem-thrower
It's about the same as the Imperial Fists chapter master
The loss of handgunners has put greywater fastness on suicide watch
https://x.com/OurHiltsHurt/status/2018690253993767111?s=20 the dunk and egg show has awakened something inside the ASOIAF community
are half eldar still a thing?
No
Dont think so
No unless I missed something
Haven’t been since 2e
I dont think you'll see many humans or eldar comingling in that way
They are like biologically different species
considering eldar see humans as animals
not even a result of deldar fucking around?
The drukhari can probably make an atrocity against nature like it
No, but even if they were...
Would you have sex with this
lol
Probably not
Deldar can turn humans into eldar and eldar into humans, aside from the soul
They’d see a hybrid as boring probably
Nothing to derive from it
I mean Haemonculi probably could
It’s not as funny as putting a human in an eldar body
I hate the nerd gaming news websites now 40K shit and being blatantly wrong
Or an eldar in a human body
But not the traditional way of hybridisation
And being utter clickbait
They can graft human and eldar together
For flesh monstrosities
lol
AoS fusiliers are cool
But they’re completely different role wise
From Handgunners
Ilya Ivanov got human volunteers for his humanzee program, never say never
Or for fun to torture someone
humans and eldar are nearly identical, the comparison to fucking a chimp is kinda weird
I feel like it would be like, imagine having clear sinuses for your entire life
and i mean visually not genetically or whatever
just in an instance not being able to breathe
It’s described as incredibly odd and off putting
They often break bones
Or tear muscles by accident
Because they try to do something that’s possible in their original body
People are saying that CoS are getting a second wave being focused around the ironweld
I don’t like the leakers so I am gonna doubt them
And yet they cannot reproduce 
Being Necronoid dont mean diddly-squat, pardner
Why did I say that
Why was I possessed by a cowboy
Necronoid is accurate tbf
i have no idea what you're talking about
Necrontyr are the first known bipedal species with that body structure in 40k lol
Elves and duradin on suicide watch
More at 7
Don’t worry
Next edition will be our edition
Lmao
💀
I despise that fuckin storyteller guy, I believe he is also just whitefang’s alt
They both always say the same thing at about the same time
And white fang defends him a lot lol
Who wants new 40k valrak slop
Gsc?
Love how he's pissed at AoS because his inside source clearly only works on 40k
LMAOOOO
- reiterates previous rumour that the Space Marine side is themed as Blood Angels (just painted that way)
- reiterates previous rumour about the box being named and themed Armageddon
- has heard four HQs; X1 Captain with Shield (unclear on weapon), X1 Jump Pack Chaplain, X1 new (normal) Librarian, X1 new Ancient (banner bearer)
- has heard for infantry; X10 updated Intercessors (jazzed up / mixed armour marks), new Vanguard Veterans, a new Gravis-unit
- has heard for vehicle; Land Speeder
Valrak slop
The Ork side seems better
lol
I want a good AoS leaker
Who doesn’t get murdered by James
Steel Legion copium on double duty
Night haunt noob has never been wrong, he just only does underworlds
Yeah
Hype for OBR warband
But underworlds no offense is not my skirmish game of choice
What’s wornf you don’t want someone roleplaying as a videogame narrator trying to convince you they are releasing a cog fort for every faction?
Actual meth induced dream
For AoS to get anything that big
For every faction
Unless they’re making the cogfort way smaller
That shit is like 2 baneblades long
i assume it’s actually gonna be a cog tower and he doenst know the lore lol
He also said that 12 new gargants are gonna be released
Necromunda leak:|| They're adding another 6 house gangs||
And then whitefang confirmed it, and then he had to say he was wrong then whitefang backed up and said that he was wrong
Then he deleted both posts saying he was wrong????
Then he post a picture of a space marine saying it was a cog fort
Truth nuke
I could see a mini cog fort thing
So that it’s only baneblade sized
they should add imperium aircraft that don't look like shit
This be aos smh
The thunderbolt looks very good ok
most factions need aircraft that don't look like shit
40K needs good aircraft rules first
I'd rather have an AoS equivalent to Munda tbh.
AoS munda would be peak
when only orks have good looking aircraft you've fucked up so bad
NOO I CANT TAKE 2 TURNS TO TURN AROUND MY FLYING DRAGON SO IT CAN DEAL 3 MORTAL WOUNDS
ITS MO REALISTIC!!!! KILL AOS RETURN TO TOW
Lmao
Insulting eldar aircraft?
Chat sacrifice them to the bloody handed god of murder. now.
What about the Dark Eldar ones
khaine would lose against the coughing baby if the coughing baby had a new model
I am currently dropping a black hole onto your address
You see Khaine was strong against everything. But like pokemon, he has one type weakness.
...protagonists
making the wings backwards isn't smart it's dumb and looks dumb
And unfortunately their attacks are super effective
Damn that looks cool
It isn't practical but it looks cool
Khaine demands blood
decapitates you with my wings which are also blades
LMAOOOOOO, for context, armr is the developer of the game
good and saim hann pilled
you could outfly an eldar airplane in a sopwith camel
"Yeah I basically pirated your game. I wonder why I can't find your lobby."

40k designs are the rule of cool.
It depends on whether it's cool enough to distract from it being stupid
Cause all of 40k's designs are stupid ...
IF YOU'RE A FUCKING NERD
ignores your petty understanding of aerodynamics and starts flying backwards
Aspect warriors being murder cult weirdos is very fun

I don't know what it is about the eldar hornet but I love that little thing
this is peak design
I find it funny that Eldar essentially hyperfixate on things.
And that (ignoring Deldar ofc) they have to restrict themselves from becoming too hyperfixated on something or else they'll basically become WAYY too into it
Actually I am realizing that more and more of 40k soldier lore is essentially
"Autism, they have autism."
the eldar didn't even invent backwards planes
Puts on the planes handbreak on mid air to have a snack
ERHM askhually the eldar technically existed billions of years ago
🤓
So they likely were the first inventors in-universe
no eldar don't have any original ideas they just copy human inventions
- Mechanicus
actually everyone just copied the old ones
They invented the biplane first
biplanes are so fucking beautiful
I think that's actually the "official" Mechanicus stance on Xenos tech in general
"Humanity did it first and better"
they exist solely because we figured out flight before we figured out drag coefficient
"more wing means more lift, right?"
That's also why some hardliners get offended by researching Xenos tech. You are insulting Humanity for daring to think that Xenos technology is better
Of course... in practice
Love me Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter
"OH SHIT GUYS, WE FOUND A NECRON TOMB."
"Shouldn't we call for reinforcements. This could be dangerous-"
there's literally no time, we MUST plunder it IMMEDIATELY
"SHUT THE FRAK UP MEATBAG WE GOTTA EXPLORE THIS SHIT"
Tbf... yeah Necron stuff might as well be fucking magic
Of course you're gonna want some
Also if I remember correctly, aren't Necron guns like unusable for humans?
Like even SMs and Custodes?
iirc yes
why would a space marine be more capable of using a gun, their fat fingers can't even use normal human guns without sawing off the trigger guard
Because they have that mind juice
I distinctly remember Necron guns being so heavy that it requires an SM to comfortably carry them
Necron guns are also heavy as shit
Yeah
They’re way too heavy for marines to carry comfortably
weird
I'd be able to carry them
But the guns are all like
So literally just weight.
Either that or you have to call up your fellow scions to carry that shit like how Amish carry farm frames.
it's crazy how the necrons ripped off the admech's whole deal
It'd still be easier than carrying my dog teammates
You'd think it would be the opposite
Like their melee should be heavy as hell
Their melee weapons are heavy and weird
They’re just not heavy to the point where it’s impractical for a marine or other strength enhanced individuals
Prolly too much for a human without power armor
Do Necron guns even use ammo
Not really
Yeah so I'm thinking the reason why they're so heavy is because they have what's basically
A generator shoved into it
So basically imagine carrying a rifle attached a electric generator
And you have to carry both

It would be cruel to deprive the lessers of the burdens they are used to carrying
We call those Arbites
Bcs of their guns
True!
I think less because of their guns and more because of them likely being slav- I mean commoners
Like hunched over from the hard labor they probably had to do
Same thing in necron society
They should make a Necron thats the only warrior to retain his personality and his entire tomb is just running through the motions
The poor are slaves
They lived in literal fucking mud huts
When the Necrontyr were a space traveling society
My Stellaris agri-worlds feeding 12 ecumenopoli
They have actual nice houses with shit
Unless you’re using slaves or a prison world
Can't help but wonder if there's any technology left from their Necrontyr days
There must've been lighter guns before they all got
Bio-transferred
Or even if it is plausible
Slaves suck tho 💀
Fleshy slaves
Robot slaves better
The best use for slaves in stellaris is generally livestock
still evil
I don’t play with slavery in stellaris smh
I just shove people in the Lathe instead/hj
i WILL judge you morally for being evil in stellaris, but only within the context of stellaris
Wait AoS doesnt have a skirmish game with campaign features?
They don’t
AoS doesn’t even have a skirmish game actively supported rn really
Poor warcry lol
I'm not playing Stellaris to min-max I'm just here to cause as much misery as possible
Dont they have like THREE?
This feels like it’d fit in here
Alpharius' greatest soldier
Live recording of how the C'tan convinced the Necron Leaders to use biotransferrence
They have 2 skirmish games but 1 is dead and the other is actually a board game wearing a skin suit of a skirmish game
You have to evilmax in Stellaris so you can engage as little as possible with the diplomacy system
No more ganzer + kill lizard too
Nah nah clearly
Konrad Cruze did nothing wrong
I once got Galactic Emperor on my birthday in my first game after the DLC that added it, and all it took as 10000000 envoys and favors

Angron fucked up real bad
becoming a determined exterminator in stellaris to reduce endgame lag

I ain't doing that
"Ugh this is so boring. I'm just gonna genocide every empire."
The synaptic lathe is funny
It’s to reduce lag genuinely
People change.
Imagine if that was an actual excuse for like an alien civilization
the 15 hours and magnus thing are true though lmao.
This must be new because I have no memory of this
It’s the materialist crisis
You shove people into the synaptic lathe
And you lathe their synapse for more processing power

like unironically its confirme the average guard dies wihtin 15 hours of on fireld service
15 hours is ONE SPECIFIC FRONT from ONE SPECIFIC NOVEL
"Get in the crystal"
nope lol
Like an alien empire invades a planet. Starts genociding the population. Somebody asks a soldier
"Why? Why are you doing this to us?"
And the soldier simply responds
"Need to reduce lag in the galaxy. Sorry!"
BLAM
and magnus was a dumb bastard
they mentioned in the guard codex and other bookst aht its for every battlefield
Rogue servitors drugging their bio trophies so they can have more bio trophies
💀
What did Paradox mean by this
chad average gsc life span vs virgin guard average life span
Free biotrophies

ITS FUKCING TRUEE ITS EVEN ON THE LEX
Nuh uh
lol
Average fighting the Guard experience is blown up by 10000000 artillery and tank shells and then shot by 100000 lasguns everytime you peak your head up
AI generated
ITS FUCKIN RUEE IT WAS EVEN MENTIONED IN THE 9THE DITION RULE BOOK
It’s not in the 10e one
Did George Soros pay you to say that?

Why am I getting targeted fashion Ads from Temu on my phone
and necromunda, necromunda is cool, it can stay
Yea 9th edition is no longer relevant
idk why you're getting ads on your phone at all, grab an adblocker
Also appeal to authority
FALLCY FALLCY
The 15 hours thing is true on on particular battle line of one particular battle on one particular planet
The book “15 Hours” is pretty clear about it
That's also referencing combat hours rather than actual hours
Hasty generalization
its mentionedin other sources, its not just that one book
fallacy fallacy fallacy
once again
When the grand armies of the Astra Militarum open fire, it is apocalyptic. Lasguns in their thousands fill the air with searing fury and crew-served heavy weapons spit streams of bolts, tank-busting salvoes of missiles and whistling mortar rounds. Plasma blasts and thermal detonations gouge craters in the opposition's lines, while rockets and shells the size of tanks scream down on the foe, their explosions hurling spumes of bedrock and broken bodies high into the air. Relentless and merciless, the bombardment annihilates even the most resilient of rivals. Enemy assaults are blunted by counterstriking armoured spearheads, or overwhelmed by the expedient of hurling Imperial Guardsmen into the meat grinder. It is a horrific way to make war, an impersonal slaughter that explains why most Astra Militarum soldiers do not expect to live out their first fifteen hours in combat. Yet, it has won countless wars for the lmperium over the millennia, and if Humanity has one strength above all others, it is a near limitless pool of fresh recruits to feed its rapacious war machine.
Casualty rates amongst the Imperial Guard are beyond horrific; if a freshly recruited soldier survives more than their first fifteen hours in battle, they are considered an accomplished veteran.
too many words, not reading allat
oh sorry auto mod
So they will survive 15 hours of combat, not just 15 hours on deployment
To be honest, 15 hours of combat is actually pretty good. Considering war mainly consists of several days of waiting around, doing chores, and lugging around equipment
yeah
And then like 10 minutes of adrenaline pumping horror
tghats what ive been saying
💀
Cmon goes why does this matter youre all going to be my cultists soon enough
and like those 15 hours are not necessarily consecutive
yes
i recently read hooligans of kandahar, the military is mostly just being abused by various shitheads
We have countless sources that contradict it, including the novel it’s quoted from
Lets all say a prayer for chaos and stay semi alive
and the way averages work there are a lot of Cadian conscripts dieing in 30 seconds holding the line against a Black Crusade bringing the average down
Child soldier w
but yous ee these sources are not associated with the book, htey come form even the codexes and rules book
cadians are extinct and should no longer be counted
there is like 20 cadias
the imperium uses blood heritage rules not land
So we have multiple independent sources to one contradictory one, which is itself contradicted by other codecis?
if they're not from the cadia region of space they're not a cadian, just a sparkling guardsman
If their eyes ain't purple they're just weak imposters
these sources are A: newer than 15 hours, but B: state that 15 hours of combat is the average.
it is lore
who are the marines of guardsmen?
There are newer sources which have dropped it
In which way
It's catachan
Dont exist because the Horus Heresy
relentless hazing, not actually good at their jobs
The ignobles
did it disprove it or simply not mention it
also really bigged up by the propaganda
The Arkan Confederates
Imperial Navy Breachers. Who are tied to the Navy and their ship, rather than the Guard
KASRKIN
Scions are actually good at their job unfortunately
nah the USMC is an independent branch of the military for some fucking reason
Valid
Every guard novel since disproves it
The codex doesn’t mention it again
We have pretty much every single literary example of the Militarum both, during and since, saying it’s wrong
One example saying it’s right
It’s pretty clearly right
im fucking stupid i forgot baout scions
marines don't have highschool diplomas so that rules out scions
LOL
the guard novels ignore it for the sake of the story
Due to the Horus Heresy, alongside splitting the Legions into chapters the Imperial Army was split into the Guard and Navy, so ONE guy couldnt just take over a huge amount of forces and go wild
The Guard cant hitcha ride, and the Navy cant take ground
Secretly this is one of my favourite kits
imperial navy rocks
The codex ignores it 🤷
not mentiuoning it doenst mean it is not still true!
Why is this a secret
it was stated in the 9th edition rule book
Because I don’t own it
actually guardsman lifespans aren't that short, the average is just driven down by white shield mortality
and i assume the 10th as well but i do not own a copy fo it
And not in the tenth, and contradicted by every single piece of Militarum fiction
it states that freshly deployed guards on average survive for 15 hours of non consecutive combat, the guard books ignore that average stat, or the characters are veterans already or are exceptions to the stat, it does not mean it is still not ture unless they directly mention it isnt
Tech marines have a trade degree tho
Chaplains have IBs
No it doesn’t
It says ‘if they survive their first fifteen hours in battle, they are considered an accomplished veteran’
Even you are mentally correcting this
" It is a horrific way to make war, an impersonal slaughter that explains why most Astra Militarum soldiers do not expect to live out their first fifteen hours in combat. Yet, it has won countless wars for the lmperium over the millennia, and if Humanity has one strength above all others, it is a near limitless pool of fresh recruits to feed its rapacious war machine."
You do see that you’re disagreeing with yourself right?
ah is ee waht you mean, i simply copy and pasted that quote fireclty form teh 9th edition rule book
It’s meme lore making its way into 40k lore
Like secret primarch Tyberos
That got start because of fan art making him massive
Which then had a writer make him massive (against the creators wishes), which then had fans make him an absolute giant
And now everyone thinks he can go toe to toe with the likes of Dante and Grimnar and Abaddon
Now we’re talking
Tyberos will keep growing until morale improves
lmao
Tyberos has grown to interplanetary scale
HSAHAFHJAHHA
space marine fans when their chapter isnt gruff middle aged tactical enslavers that do not care about civilian life
Kindslop is bad
I am not syaing pro kindslop i am saying anti edgy-tactical slop
every CSM oc i have seen has lore tlaking about their perosnal sex slave collection
Tf CSM are those
May Lorgar fuck em up real bad
reddit....
Ah
My OC is the Jefferey Epstein devil please respect what I told you in our DMs that was meant to stay private
LMAOHWAHWAHAAJ
i say being a libators fan
the infamously sane loyalist chapter who drinks the blood of their enemy
My Chapter is just a bunch of tank-obsessed bureaucrats
im just saying inject liek 10-15% of silly into your lore
i wont use my own lore as an example because thats fucking stupid and i hate when people do that
Ngl most ocs I see on leddit are just not very good
yeah lol
The krieg space marines were a particular 👎
LMAO
My lore is immaculate I'll have you know
i liked hte cadia marines i saw once, the idea was there is a chapter that is just drawn from a cadia planet
As a Munda fan my dream one day is to have an Imperial Fist or 2 or 3 pull up at the end of a Campaign and just slaughter everyone
okay i cannot seem to find it anymore lo
Shoutout to all those people making Chapters that are just legion-building and would get purged within a century
KILL TEHM ALLL
All our potential Lufgt Hurons
if i were to make a custom chatper they probbaly would just be codex astarties cultists once again
All of mine are
I knew a guy that made one like that and didnt understand the concept at all. Or how the "modern" Astartes of 40k is completely ineffective when anchored down to commanding mortal troops
That’s weird
My OC were a league of assassin warlords who would attack planets based on visions of a prophet in order to try and affect a future only the prophet knew (so they’d hit a planet to kill one person who’d become a revolutionary member of the Eccelsiarchy and rally a different planets defences 40 years from now, or an adept who’d find a tithe being skimmed that would lead to a cult being wiped out)
I went really heavy into how Astartes would each when all of the rules were removed, and how some factions would ritualistically treat cannibalism, whilst others would treat it like a KFC
No sex slaves though, that’d be weird
technically there is a chapter htat specialzies in that but we dont nede to get into it
Did he just make a Overseer Consul Chapter
Bruh
YEAH LMOA
FOR CONTEXT
the mentors litreally jsut dot hat lol
I once had a juve go so hard that at the end of the campaign we joked that he became an astarte
I’m now working through his various incarnations as a Primaris
For the record this is the same guy that tried to argue that wearing your enemies corpses was good, virtuous, and Christian values
Astartes are really meant to be special forces on crack
?
But the way fandom treats them…
Incredibly based. His starter gang?
hey what shoudl the origin be for my GSC who's bloods is full of micro ripper parasites?
BASED MENTORS
He was orlocks
He just kept murdering people
Took 7 people out in his first 2 games and 4 of them legit died, including a redemptionist leader
do lik a dub step 2010 mc intor witht his guy
Ah he was just like that
Wtf
Seven?
LMAOOOO
reminds me of my orlock leader who died twice
I know right?
He had a flail (nunchucks) and I’d put him at the end of a bridge, the redemptionist guy just kept rolling 1’s in combat.
After the first two his entire gang diverted to try and take out the juvd in combat.
I knocked the leader off then eventually jumped on him Mario style
This same gang lost 3 leaders, it was insane
@rose thorn this guy
wehat hte fuck am i looking at
Same guy once had an in-character argument with me for 40 minutes in a TTRPG and then tried to retcon as not happening when he lost in-character
You gotta strike a careful balance with these things I feel. My little special boys would if they could they're just more paranoid about getting wiped out and wait until the rift creates a power vacuum
Then proceed to most of their leadership killed with a vortex grenade
they should lock space marine 2 behind a wall that you need to email GW a picture of your 2k point army to play
Every time I bring up the Night Lords as fun or interesting he reminds me the biblical arch-angel Michael could solo them
Totally real fun fact: Their Cannibalism comes from Gulliman's temptation to rip his own face off and eat it. Due to how frustrated he is with managing the Imperium on a daily basis.

Was he NOT the leader by the end?
Did I stutter
His frustration is so vast
It affected the warp
It goes past the walls of times
Into the past present and future
there was liek 1k ultramarines who some how became their own chapter adn ended up making blood rituls to the DND rule book of 40k
Also the second founding was also called the cursed founding right?
no
Na that's the 21st
Or was that another founding that I can't keep track of because I don't care about when chapter giga shit was made
the second foudning is whent he first successor chapters were made
Orlocks and flails must have some secret magical effect om the universe because my Gang Queen got brained by an Orlock that was going on a rampage. One Wrecker with a flail and he OOA'd my leader, a champion, and a juve
chapters such as, the black templars, the crimson fists, all the iconic chapters
10k years is plenty of time for bizarre traditions to spawn like my favourite 2nd founding Mortifactors
Nah, it was fanatic era, I had a dude with a two handed power axe and bolt pistol who was doing alright, so it went to him
The adventures of Fearsome (the juve, was meant to be ironic because juves are idiots, but it became prophetic) has now gone from ‘was entered into the Feast of Blades but lost (imperial fists didn’t win during that time), and is now a member of the death watch working for an inquisitor
They do meet up and kiss sloppy surely
LMAO
If I actually get an Orlock kit IRL I'm naming their truck after him god bless
Wreckers with them do brilliantly
The rest of the gang had proper names
Foxway Minnix, Cookie Banton, Huey Barderay
But the Juves had silly names, Fearsome, Hench, Billa-Blade
I just liked the idea of kids trying to name themselves to sound badass whilst the grownups get on with the work
I have a Delaque list and every member is named Zhang 
what angle should i take my gsc lore rewrite, they worship the parasite of mortex and their patriarch too of course. they have flesh eating parasites dormant in their blood and activate once the nids arive
Cult of The Fanged emperor, im not even sure what religious angle is hould take on them
i hate my illteracy
I have a Goliath clown gang
All of the gangers are various -umbles words
Tumbles
Fumbles
Mumbles
Etc
My first Munda gang were the plasma hounds, who ended up being red shirts baiscally
The Campaign master sucked tho so it’s kinda his fault
Could do cannibalistic self sacrifice?
A bit of a circle of life thing
maybe, but thats really similar to cult of the innerwyrm
