I was talking about Darktide but I'm also manifesting this
Truth nuke
How likely is it that the alpha legion has infiltrated the custodes or sister of silence?
Custodes being an entirely different method of creation makes me think unlikely for them
Also Sisters of Silence are like normal sized humans, arent they?
So Alpha Legion couldnt take on their look
Note I know nothing about Alpha Legion outside of the superficial details
Sisters of Silence would be more doing some MKUltra shit to corrupt them into a spy, Alpharius' sons might be able to do that I imagine
Yeah sisters of silence are normal human sized
Well someone being a spy does not require them to become a heretic. I'd say it could be possible to turn anyone, however both of those don't have many needs and wants that you can use to turn them
And both are very loyal, fanatical even. So it will be very hard to do so
Alpha legion make use of human spies
I really wanna see an Alpha Legion spy done right in a Warhammer game
Someone you buddy up to and love only to get betrayed at a pivotal moment and hear: “Hydra Dominatus”
The issue with games is that not many reward you for sneaky plays. As in, guerilla or infiltration
I meant story wise mostly
New DLC for Rogue trader
It’s harder to have a spy done right in a multiplayer game
unless you’re Spy from TF2
The Space Wolf is not a space wolf after all
Titus and co about to destroy a Chaos controlled Manufactorum, alarm suddenly goes off as an UM dies. Colors of other battle brother fades to aquamarine and silver.
“Hydra Dominatus”
I love the chameleon armor of the Alpha legion
Does their armor actually change color?
Maybe not really the armor but an accessory or a cape? Either way, they can switch colors yeah, or maybe that was warp magic🤔
I know for sure many have scales on their armor
Afaik it doesnt in lore
And TT
Its just an art thing
Their armour cant actually change on a whim
Theyve repainted to disguise themselves as other legions/chapters
But not chameleonisms
what if they turn themselves into black templars
Funny surprise for Helbrecht
They pulled a funny on the raven guard tho
Alpha primaris would go hard
They can’t without a very rare piece of wargear, and it doesn’t work like it does the way that one dude painted it and now people copy
It’s more like projecting a hologram around existing armor
Not the cameloline like effect
Technically he doesn't have true form per se
Means he's whatever is most convenient
He just chooses to use the one he's commonly depicted as the most
Yeah not how that looks in canon
It also has to be approximate armor shape
So can’t make yourself look like a terminator
Wearing normal power armor
It’s just a hologram thingy it’s weird
Dont think its AI: I believe Ive seen it around before and the details surrounding the art look legit. Like the lighting on the sword from the electrical effect for example looks deliberate
The words "Transgender neo-nazi family annihilator" referring to an event in real life now is the first time I've been speechless in a while
It is not AI, Konstantin Void is a known name in the 40k space
look around the hips
the black parts
And the art is very old
Dawn Legion Leviathan Dreadnought

#warhammer #wh40k #spacemarine #adeptusastartes #warhammerpainting #warhammercommunity #astartes
1755
Or not very old but old enough that AI wasn't that good back then
fuck
Yeah I trust this piece
AI is typically REALLY clean
Like no AI "artist" would allow their space marines to look dinged up like this one
Also AI struggles with light still
Yeah looks real
I don't particularly like the artist, but at least he does know how to paint
mhm
He is a very conservative asshole, hates minorities and the such so don't bother following their socials if you don't want that sort of content on your feed as well 
Yikes
Makes me wonder
It's not like conservative artists don't exist
Salvador Dali is another example
He was a huge supporter of the Fascist Spain regime
To the point where he had to escape otherwise he would've been hanged
Why does MAGA make nothing but soulless slop at best?
Why are they seemingly the exception?
It keeps snowing I'm tired of snow
real
It might actually snow for the first time this season where I'm at
I always get snow after Christmas
but it’s a gamble between a massive snowstorm and a pathetic whimper of snow

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTM-
Jokes on you I live in a part of California where it doesn't snow
Instead it's just cold and wet!
Although tbh I can actually drive to snowy parts
It's like an hour away?
Lake Tahoe in the snow is beautiful tbh
Lake Tahoe in general is a good place to go if you ever visit California
And also probably has better beaches than the actual beaches

There's like two actual beaches here in cali
And the rest are just the equivalent of having legos
All over
Yeah cause you have a quarter the coastline of an entire country
But hey at least it looks pretty
Can't wait till it all sinks
Ignore the fact that half the time it looks like landfill because again
Only two beaches where you can walk barefoot

If there is comfort
Florida will go before us

I think it's even lower in the sea level than Cali
Waiting on cali getting redesignated to Arizona Bay
Arizona Bay gets set on fire
The trees we bought from the Australians
Still get set on fire
Even while underwater

But tbh I don't want California to be flooded
Or anywhere
Even Florida
I prefer that people live
...generally anyways

Idk would anyone real miss the general population of florida
no but on the other hand, the new beach would probably be filled with crocodiles
it's like the arasaka landmines
but instead of landmines
it's sea crocodiles

Could a sister of silence shut down the connection with the warp for psykers as strong as Magnus? Or nearly??
Near maybe but there would need to be like a hundred or more Sisters
Magnus is EXTREMELY powerful
Depend on what the writer want to d
Dengism Rising
Karl Marx was invoked and I've thus been summoned
Also I wanted to go to turkey for holiday but they are taking their sweet time with the visa can you write to your BFF in the embassy and expedite this @storm jungle
Yeah im sending Jandarma to your house rn
they'll be sure to greet you
Who? Is that the coffee maker people?
Enough of them could
They use the SoS to hide Russ’ presence on Nikaea from Magnus.
But then you still have a primarch on the other side of it
Oh yeah absolutely
I'm getting secret police vibes 
Are they the jannisarris from assassins creed revelations
Because I don't want those guys anywhere near me
Are you saying this because they got "J" at the start of their name
Western racism must be stopped
something something beauty standards and unrealistic expectations
stolen straight from french...
Imagine having silent letters
gendarmerie?
am a bit uh familiar with french pronounciation quirks
no lol
no we call them Polis lmao
Polis massa?!!
Jandarma is like well literally gendarmerie force lol
The Gendarmerie General Command (Turkish: Jandarma Genel Komutanlığı) is the national gendarmerie force of Turkey. It is a service branch of the Ministry of Interior responsible for the maintenance of the public order in areas that fall outside the jurisdiction of the General Directorate of Security (generally in rural areas), as well as assu...
Because we just got too many rural areas
I literally live in one
Basically. They are all the same to me so idgaf
Again we got regular cops
they just dont patrol these areas too much unless its not a city
Suleiman the magnificent wouldn't approve smh
I dunno probably
He would actually
incest is wild
formed 187 years ago waow
unc history
stolen from france...
History moment
give it back thief
You can't steal anything from the french
the janissaries would've been around still during that time yea?
my gendarmes would beat ur jandarmas
It's not a version of reality that's compatible with any timeline
Janissaries were around in suleimans period
And before
They had cool masks too
Basically all they're known for to most people
Westoids..............
I mean they are kinda the inspo for the whole space marine kidnapping children to become loyal soldiers right
Yeah they are lmao
i was gonna say they even have moments where they took ove rthe government
its hilarious
Yeah lol
Lmao
child soldiers are a thing for a reason
they deadass
kidnap children and train them since young to be loyal soldiers of le sultan
sound familiar 💀
Yeah but the sm part is funny
I see you've committed to the French theft thing
Always
almost every language with a latin alphabet borrowd like 10 thousand words from french anyvay
So, do all Turkish people have a rite of passage where you have to climb galata tower with your bare hands?

The only thing I've planned for my trip so far is to see the hagia sofia
And find food
Yeah theres like TONS of local markets you can find proper turkish food
same with tiny/medium restaurants
Istanbul is an entire metropolis so theres tons of stuff like that spread around
Great
It's also a pretty big tourist site so I'm sure itl be sorted
I went to Nepal once and that wasn't very sorted 
Lol yeah Istanbul is kinda the same, just read up on some stuff and you should be fine. Or look up things on youtube shorts and read the comments
theres tons of locals correcting and debunking the "tourist" shit people say in the videos
"Look up youtube shorts and read the comments "

Aww
But anyway its because theres a lot of videos where a person is like
"WOW THIS ISTANBUL RESTAURANT IS FANTASTIC"
And the comments are like turks going
"They are scamming you dumbass"

Oh yeah all that touristy trap stuff is real
Yeah istanbul is huge for that, its not like awful but its something to watch out for. Our country economy is going to shit so people want that delicious tourist money
What's the alcohol situation
Like, you can just buy a bottle of beer somewhere right
Yeah you can. Pretty normal. We dont really have alcohol as a part of our drinking culture, that is instead TEA.
we do have some local alchs like uhhh rakı and shit but that you literally gotta go and specifically ask for, it isnt like UK where you go in anywhere and its BEER
Yeah its just "generic beer" to me so i cant say much on it
Because I think I did that in Nepal and I don't remember a full day
LOL
It wasn't that bad but I think I came extremely close to slipping down a cliff

At which point I thought it was funny
Damn that was some strong stuff actually I now miss it 
BOBER
istanbul more like uhh missthatbull i ain't going there
Meanwhile at Ubisoft
The Division 2 dev team deciding to jump on the trench warfare bandwagon
Yes that is an exotic shotgun
There's a bandwagon for trench warfare??
I mean, Krieg and all, so...I would say yes.
Oh people still like krieg?
yes
Yea Div2 exotic guns had always....stretched...gun concepts a bit lol
I never saw any in the few hours I played I would've been confused
Does Istanbul mean anything in turkish
I think it's a transliteration of greek
Eis ten polin or something whatever it was in greek locally
I see
From Ottoman Turkish استانبول (İstanbul), from Byzantine Greek εἰς τὴν Πόλιν (eis tḕn Pólin, “in the City”), which is how Constantinople was referred to by the local Greeks.
yea
Kill yourself.
I can't it's against the law
Ahhh wombat jumpscare
I don't know why exactly, but I think you ought to be banned for that gif. I'm sorry I had to be frank


It's snowing agian I'm going to murder someone
Just call the janissaries
They'll probably help him fight off the snow though
With scimitars
I wouldn't trust them, the Turks raided the Faroes once and one of the crewmates killed a woman
The turks got to Iceland?
Tbf it was the Barbary States but they were basically turk 0.7
white people be like
any middle eastern warrior-person mentioned
scimitars
yea
They cut the breasts off a woman and the captain was damn dude I'm really sorry here's some honey then they left
It's a really weird story
🫵
Also, scimitars are cool
Sure, kilij just means sword, but it's really a scimitar
I wonder what cultural thing was responsible for folks developing different shapes in their swords
Like curved as opposed to straight
Did they have straight swords and then reasoned the curved ones are a better idea
Which they very well might be
Stabbing vs cutting innit, how much armour tends to be around
Europe went from pointy armour piercers to sabres
Matt Easton probably has a video about it
more materials to make armour from -> straight swords, maces, etc. Less material and softer armour -> curved and slashing weapons
in a very broad sense
About that, like when you see those full on crusading knights in that head to toe kinda steel plate, is it actually possible to slash through the plate horizontally
Like in terms of material strength and physics with a sword
Would it just clang off the plate most of the time
Very unlikely to get a penetrating hit by slashing
unless you hit something like the armpit or other joints
Yeah it doesn't work so good, mostly it just slides off unless you get a nook
excluding weakpoints just plate vs blade
Nah they went to polearms and maces and guns for a reason
But arrows can go through it right
it depends on the range, not really that good
Well depends on the arrowhead too
Later plate armour could resist being shot too
Maces seem more ideal than a sword if I picture like a battlefield brawl, you basically just swing hard enough and you break someones arm even if it's plated
And they probably require less technique to use compared to a sword too
Or a hammer
Don't need penetration
Clobber them on the head and give them a concussion through all the layers yeah it works
Probably why there's the whole trope of giving brutish giant dudes blunt weapons because it gets better with just more application of strength
Don't have to care what the guy in front of you is wearing
Some armour was proofed by shooting them at certain ranges to show they could withstand crossbows/firearms, it's a whole thing
Very interesting stuff imo
Yeah plate is genuinely useless in lotr, no one should bother wearing it
Why
the movies anyway, it doesn't exist in the books
Because of the depiction or the uselessness of it
Mostly the depiction
Right
This itty bitty thing shot from a shortbow should've done nothing if we're being pedantic and don't care about cinematography for a second
Rip Legolas going " AIM FOR THE NECK AND ARMPIT"
It is what it is, it'd have been funny if it deflected and went up his unarmoured throat instead but that's for being a dorkass nerd
The Europeans really did maximize plate relative to others folk I guess, I don't see other histories wearing as much plate as plate peak Europe did
Like full full plate
Yeah it's interesting, China had some full body stuff but it wasn't quite the same. Trouble of armouring way too many people ig
Yeah
What plagues and 1200 years of warfare does to a place, there's enough to go around
Samurai armor looks so good aesthetically though even in real life without the exaggerations
It's heavily cinematic i guess, with the oni masks and things
I do like this Jin dynasty armour, it's almost there
I'd be worried about my feet but you can't always have everything
Well the full plate is also notoriously hard to move in
Exhausting stuff, they often removed their leg armour anyways iirc
I'm pretty sure it's just exhausting getting back up if you fall
Samurai armour makes sense for what they used, mainly bows and spears and the matchlock. Excellent flexibility to use those
It's got a very distinctly developed aesthetic, like you can wear the haori over it
Gotta swag up, naturally
It’s a very AOS Christmas
Ammonites confirmed to have existed in aos?
discovering the Chud fossil?
I find it funny that Europeans just decided to paint on the armour, why not
tbh its a nice statement
Looks good
no the ammonite fossil
Oh yeah, they exist in AOS
I just find it mildly funny that's in there
A troggoth model holds one
What is this games of dookes
me when I'm afraid of doctors
Is that William Shakespeare?
No lol
Game of Peak
watch your fucking mouth before i rip your tongue off
Is this for honour?

It can't be for honor
LMAO
Lorica Clothing is right when she said modern warfare ruined mens clothing, we should go back to bashing each other on the head with polearms and looking fabulous and wearing high heels
"For Honor" ITS LITERALLY AN ACTOR
I wonder what's up with that game
I'd like to see what they added I haven't checked it out in like a decade or something
Like more archetypes?
Like did they add a scimitar dude finally
I think I saw a reel at one point of some twirly acrobat guy thing ninja
Maggie please
Maggie im gonna kms

girl cannot differentiate from reality.....
WHAT DID I DOOOO
nuke the WHOLE generation
IT LOOKS LIKE A SCREENSHOT FROM ONE OF THOSE GAMES THAT NEED 32 GIGS OF RAM TO GET 60 FPS

Based opinion.
I still think it just looks like Shakespeare if he took acid and was dreaming about himself
As some kind of elf loving hipster
Anyway very AOS coded
mens fashion before the woke ruined it by adding nonsense like trenches and artillery and machineguns to warfare and killing all of the horses
the fuck does shakespear have to do with a guy in armor
I DONT KNOW
Ironically high compliment
For the artists sword is the pen the paper is their armor?
Sweet Jesus that's an entire village rolled into a man
And he needed a village to help him dress up
A cape is an interesting thing
And apparently not that common
Despite what games tell you

It’s funny how chud the darkest dungeon 1 community has become. Especially in the mod space
That game was such a breath of fresh air when it came out
I thought about playing DD1 recently and when I looked at mods it was just so horny
Then 2 crashes through the front door with canonical gay romances
Wot
Yeah
There's canonical gay romances in dd2
Wait
No
I don't wanna know
LEAVE REYNAULD AND DISMAS ALONE
Àaaahhhhhhh
oh god it's them isnt
Reynauld and Dismas are like canonically gay for each other
The crusader and highwayman are a thing
I reject your reality.
Lmao
And on your quest you can have 2 of your heroes develop a romantic relationship with any other
DD2 is really fun
Somehow I never heard anything about it, but I doubt it's bad
It’s a lot smoother than 1
I haven't heard anything good about the wagon mechanic but other than that I haven't heard anything bad
And the team synergies are really dynamic
I did see some stage coach footage though and just visually that's like...the most perfect vibe
Gods strongest loading screen
LMAO
That reminds me I have to watch the Karl urban dredd too
theres also the spiders
lmao youre right
I keep forgetting lol right now I'm celebrating newly discovered unemployment
Hey aren’t these guy’s rules really bad?
Or is it dire avengers
just like any eldars right now
I joke but its literally in their design note yeah lmao
akshually it's asuryani
Smh put them in the suicide cult hole
the only true eldar
The real eldar are Ynnari!
Big pauldrons, underheld big gun connected to the back with a wire is peak design tbh

NOOOOOOOOO

Why does this creature have the eyes of a human child
Is he a soul thief?
And here I thought Yvraine and The Visarch went to have a honeymoon
They are the canonical ship
Non binary Chad and their suicide cult leader wife
People who ship gulliman and yvraine think that it’s okay to buy a wife in Vietnam
This is an f is for family reference btw
can i pet that doug?
I believe they are called lycans
but yes
on the furry scale, I believe silver is like a 2
but uhh
I only vaguely remember that scale as a meme
The furry levels are dangerously high
i saw somebody post the original scale in a server i was in. it has the n word in it
they got banned
they didn't see it i guess
also that scale is fake 4chan shit
ferals aren't more furry than anthro
He's lying
Basically silver is more "a human with some animal features" versus "A humanoid with animalistic features"
silver is A 1 do not ask why i have this it's handy
god this image is so old
also the first time I've seen the og and not the translated version
like i said, fake as shit scale
Um lawyer!
What would your scale be, if you made one?
Werewolves do not fit the criteria!
idk how i'd put it on a scale. what's considered furry is something you can only tell after seeing a lot of furry art
The defacto way to determine one's furry nature is to see how they respond to fallout new vegas
no that's trans
it's not really a scale anyways. some stuff looks furry but isn't
Silver is more of a mix of 2 and 1 anyway
silver just isn't furry
they should be eaten alive by radioactive dogs
Calling a werewolf a furry is like calling any bald person you see Walter white
im talking about her normal form
She is still a werewolf in her human form
her werewolf form is just monster which has its own fandom
Is a bald person still bald if they wear a hat
her human form is actually pretty cool for a werewolf
I just really like the hand which you don't get to see too often
most of the time they're just normal humans
Bro i keep seeing incels mad that she has makeup on and isnt covered in filth
All because her description has a joke that says "hot mess"
what
And they are like UHM ACTUALLY SOMEONE WHO IS A HOT MESS WOULDNT WEAR MAKEUP
tbh
I mean people call it eyeliner but it's literally supposed to be liek
actual wolf eyes
anyway for an anthro/furry it literally needs to be a perma animal person
EXACTLY
which like most Cocklock characters arent lol
for example that little crow dude is a furry
what kind of criteria is that
but calling Silver a furry is like so wrong it hurts
The only one
a furry is a humanoid animal person
vyper????
lol
wait she's scalie
Hot mess doesnt mean unkempt and unhygienic
i can think of several times where this isn't true
but it's the same thing
It just means your life sucks
It is
your exmaples just suck
I mean she canonically fucking REAKS iirc but her hot mess title is supposed to mean her life is shit and she can't control it
Stab random people and steal their stuff?
also she's addicted to so much random shit
Anyway too much Cocklock talk
yeesss
vyper strikes me more as a furry design but still not
I believe it just cuz shes a wereolf
@languid meadow u wanna play or ur just staring at silvr
You shower and u still smell like wet dog
he looks like a penis now
I'lll play but no vc because im cooked
alr shy guy
YOU PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND NOT ME
She smells like alcohol according to Apollo lol
naur just shit mood
homosexual behavior
duh
You know
oh fuck Jesse Jackson just died
who
In retrospect, I just believe the phantom pain was a tremendously fun game because I just remember enjoy ing playing it a lot
big civil rights activist
damn
that's 2 goats in 1 day
I can hear the WOHHOAAAHH music playing in my head everytime that gif comes up
Just scared of an ascendant chud
I never doubted it tbh
Yall are indeed the best groul

LMWO A
What was the presentation about
RVD expansions on Fok1 TALENs
Well
I don't understand anything in that sentence

But I struggle with understanding anything in general
And I can't read either
Or Troll
Theoretically if like 200 sisters of silence decided to jump Magnus.
Well, would Magnus just be incapacitated by the worst nausea ever?
Since depending on the amount of blankness Psykers generally feel awful if they're near one
Would Magnus still be able to fight back or would he be too busy like
Vomiting
Magnus has Primarch privilege and the SoS are the SoS so they are doubly at a disadvantage so he'd actually get stronger
Now I think about it they did shut down his spell casting on Luna with several squads but then he started just punching them or whatever
Yeah I would just thinking of how like
Would the Primarch privilege have him not be affected besides shutting down his casting?
idk prob like a few weeks ago
Late message, shut up
🗣️
Quiet down pipsqueak.

gotta make me clean up the channel every time you vomit this stuff
yeah but do you have an answer to the question
Id say the assassinorium blanks
Since they can weaponize their blank field
Or magnus overpowers it since hes an alpha + psyker empowered by chaos
Magnus is literally a superhero
hes not getting affected by anything permanently
guy is built on plot armor
True but would he at least have what's basically cosmetic effects for him
Nausea
Shut up
Vomiting
If we take out plot armour that Primarch have, a couple of Sister could be able to cut of Magnus from the Warp, but his soul is replaced by warp, so while it's probable that external abilities wouldn't work anymore, there could be ways for him to still use his powers, even if only with difficulty
Etc.
What if he just grows really big and steps on the sisters
Yeah he wasn't physically affected by the blanks on Luna, he just killed them
Yeah I was wondering if he'd be too crippled to fight or if he just punches them all
Ah
Okay then so he'd just punch em
Got it
He just couldn't cast fireball for a while like a dork
Dont blanks come in grades too?
yea

"Magic missile!!! 🤓 "
Yeah but punching things is fun
Also do blank even "stack" ?
Yeah they do
So there would be credibility to just dumping massive amounts of Blanks on him
He'd probably see it coming
Preferably with actual weapons

But technically if he doesn't pull some plot armor bullshit he'd still get jumped
Directly stated
i really feel like this alludes to SEAF actually actively shelling innocent cyborgs/industrial equipment?
dilara ban this guy
Nah its not "alluding"
What is seaf
they are straight up targeting civillians
Super Earth Armed Forces
That shit what they goon to
Magnus noticing a massive void in the warp
Oh helldivers
Yeah he'd see it coming
Does Magnus have like the best warp radar or something?
also
i love how like
the MO literally says they are killing civillians
and the psoter is like
"falsely designated as-"

"hmmm are they?"
Just very skilled in using Warp abilities
You know who wouldn't see it coming somehow?
Kairos
Hes a sorcerer he 100% can notice impurities or anomalies in the warp
And a black hole would be very easy to detect for people that can see gravity
Kairos would see the ambush
Kairos would only notice it at the most perfect, critical moment
Tbf future sight for Psykers is already unreliable
And Kairos has that multiplied
Its reliable and unreliable as the plot demands it to be
so this doesnt matter
Kairos gets beaten around by the writers
Aren’t the Eldar Farseers the Psykers with the best future sight?
as he should, all things tzeentch should get shoved into a locker
Depends on the plot.
You'd think so
...so would rubrics count as a big storage locker for dust
We can see the future and do everything to avoid trouble
craftworld sails directly into trouble for the billionth time
I wanna crack one open, mix in water and chug it like a beer keg
A farseer sees the future perfectly until it has space marines involved then he gets a contract from GW telling them they gotta throw in the towel
Ahriman is also a powerful sorcerer
Sure but shove them into a school locker for proprietys sake
Craftworld Eldar can make anything they want so why don’t they just make better plotlines for themselves

Why dont the necrons just take over the galaxy
Dilara ban this necrodermis sucker
dumbo
"It is time to see the future"
Sees an Imperium brand censor
"I swear to Isha's tits-"
🫡
We’re too damn lazy. Most of us ain’t even up yet

You're too damn lazy because the plot says you are
get in line bitch
🗣️
Too lazy
Why dont the votann just print 500 trillion units?
Smh my head
I mean they can
LOL
Oh
Votann got no limit on tech
They are literally made that way
lol
They probably do, all of them are probably mining some asteroid with their toes or something
Owlcat does eldars justice
they are cloneskeins
Organic nonsense idk
its literally made by a giant super computer
You think they just grind up some Tyranids and use that
Why the fuck would they do that lol
Except for yrliet she constantly talks smack
WE'RE RICH
they arent tyranids
Biomass is biomass
they dont consume biomass

MUSHROOM
Biomass can still be biologically incompatible
^
also Tyranid microbes are hostile
Also because Tyranids fight in the cell level. It would probably result in some new abomination
Well yeah a fan doesn’t have opposable thumbs 
*brain
but yes
But yeah I know you can’t use Tyranids for biomass stuff
Too violent even to the atom
Its not about re-using biomass
Votann Cores make all this shit because they are mega-STCs
they are bigass printers
its self-replicating
the resources Votann themselves harvest are for societal stuff
Nids evolved to be able to use biomass from external species like orks and kroot
The strongest evolutionist of history versus the strongest evolutionist of today
Vat Grown is either just making babies in test tube and forcing growth, or Just taking vats of human material and 3d printing it
Spoiler for Iron Lung movie so click at your own risk if you even care about that
Me after eating a random Tyranid:
Youd probably just die trying to eat it
They arent even vatgrown
they are made meticulously by the core from the groundup
vats are for more "blunt" biological making and dumping
I do wonder how intelligent or sentient Votann cores are
Besides just big computer shaped like head
Extremely intelligent.
And depends from core to core
read their lore, it goes into it
Yeah I do need to read up on the Votann more
Extremely intelligent and sentient
However they're sort of slowed down due to the amount of memories installed into their head
Votann Cores are made in a way that you can also homebrew them in any way you want unless its like really moronic and goes against teh faction's ideals lol
Arent votann cores classified as ai?
I like the whole concept of them I just don’t like much of their armor
It looks weird
But the imperium doesnt know it?
No they dont
They're very knowledgeable
Imperium isnt shy to trade with votann so meh
I mean
you do realise by "trade" its literally just extremely far flung traders right
So I can have one that acts like the dude from Power Rangers?

They aren't shy to wage war against them too
Technically its still trading🤓
Thats already what the Votann do
Galaxy is big
Damn they beat me to it
And doesn't mean you can't lie to the people you're trading with, or hate them either
I think the T'au are their main clients
Last time I checked anyways
You do realise when England was expanding its empire they literally fought and traded with a coutnr they were beefing with right
They arent.
So i know Squats and Kin are the same thing, but how far separated are the Kin from the Squats in the Imperium evolutionarily?
Tau are such a small species taht they can't really be their main commerce target
No lol
Fuck I need to reread their codex
bro theres like millions of Leagues
They trade with other Kin
other countless number of aliens
the Imperium
human rebels
eldar
tau
etc etc
literally ANYONE
You think a war between Leagues would just be a galactic version of Minecraft Bed Wars?
what
No because destroying a Votann core is an extremely idiotic and blasphemous move
what
your entire League would be shunned for it
its the equilavent of invading a foreign nation and nuking its entire capital
people would go "what the fuck did you do"
but now add that with losing its ENTIRE civilization/culture in it
It's basically killing their God
Could they go an try to claim the enemy core ?
Also destroying their genetic code right?
God, i wish
Depends on the League but again would be heretical

Yeah of that League
I know some Leagues really don’t like the Admech
which makes me confused a bit on the inclusion of Votann in Mechanicus 2, in what world would the Kin willingly help the Admech
however if you can make money from them then its A-Ok as long as you swindle them right
Money
Resources
Contracts
Fair
again, read their codex
The votann could be allies depending on which campaign you play
Help ?
The trailer for the Votann faction made it seem like they’d be helping Admech and the title of the trailer
The votann's weaponry also has alot of similarities with imperium based ones
Any explenation for that?
Thats because they were originally human colonists
Aren't they set as a 3rd faction that will fight both the Necron and the Admech ?
I honestly don’t know anymore lol
A secret unlockable votann campaign would be really cool
Watch Tau get announced for Mechanicus 2 as well for some reason lmao
An Armored Core style game for Tau would be cool ngl
Both are humans and have their roots in the DAoT and human colonization like Dilara said.
Things like the Bolter are old DAoT era stuff.
They just diverged
Yeah the Emperor stole the "concept" and re-invented it for the Imperium
Votann tech that matches the Imperium is also just way better
because they arent technological troglodytes
In the grand scheme of the galaxy isn’t Imperium tech on the shoddy, weaker end?
Always was yes
For the most part yeah
Apparently when your main technology supplier literally calls the concept of science "Heresy". You're gonna be behind on some areas
its formidable but not the peak form
Orkz are considered the worst tech wise right?
The Imperium has a pretty high tech ceiling but they're cavemen who don't understand how an oven works so they squirrel it away
Yesn't.
It matches whoever they're fighting
^ Way better way to put it yea
Where do we strike
Where ever the Votaan decide
If the enemies have teleporters
I think they can and will attack the Admech too
They will have teleporters
Not that important when both bolters kill stuff
Bolters can kill and not kill most things
So it seems like a 3 party FFA
they arent a universal weapon that works on everything
Votann bolters for example can lol
Also that would be fucking sick
its a superior weapon because its not held back
Imperial bolters need special ammo because their bolters are worse
I like the rule in the Deathwatch ttrpg where the round can explode
The Mechanicus literally treats the word "science" as a slur
