I doubt it would run better
You shouldn’t be able to make a career of being a civil servant
Let alone getting rich by it
Career politicians shouldn't be a thing.
The problem is that how the fuck do we even incentivize people?
Their salaries are low they just get to inside trade instead
Bonds
lol
A lot only join in for the power
The worst part is to change anything they have to vote in losing their ability to not do insider trading in office
Whether the power to do good or do evil
So they just won’t
It's still power
They have to limit themselves
You have a vested interest to not let the government explode as well
Like Hell they’d do that
Deadass pay them with more bonds
Yeah that should definitely be a first
Remove insider trading
It wouldn't fix ALL of our problems
It’s like exclusively the younger politicians voting against it in congress lol 💀
It’s so bad lol
But it'd definitely fix a good amount
Every time it comes up with vote
The legislative Branch having the choice to limit itself is a problem
It’s a bipartisan issue on both sides
Except
It’s based on age split
Which is fucking hilarious
Under 40’s tend to vote against it
Voting against removing insider trading
Over tend to vote for it
Or voting for removing insider trading
Imo the Judicial or Executive should have the ability to set term limits for representatives and senators as well as ban any insider trading and lobbying
It’s to not allow congress members to trade stock
Ah
So for removal
Go it
Lobbying is never going to be banned is the issue
Yeah that's fucking awful
Unfortunately
Unless if some major reform happens
If it’s banned we just go to under the table bribes exclusively again
And then that’s a whole other shit storm
Would at least be harder
But it would also be harder to find out
Fuck it, bring back duels
At least insider trading should be banned
At least make it interesting to watch lmao
Like everyone can agree on that except the people who benefit
And it's usually old people
Unless if they're somebody like Bernie
Somebody please drag him away
Democrats aren't my preferred party overall but Mitch makes them just
So much worse
Mitch is def an eldritch horror in disguise
But yeah Mitch needs to be gone
Mitch and Chuck both
They have strangleholds on the parties
To just block people from running for anything when they're 60+
And drag them out once they reach 60
Don't insult turtles like that
Ehhhh I’d rather hard limits on how many terms you can run first
Rather than an age cap
but def add an age cap later on
Damn chat died
This is a good geezer
I trust him
amazing art god damn
I would say both
Most sane zealot
Trust me guys
I know him
He does charity work on the weekends
Very nice guy
He donates warmth to the poor Xenos

He even gifts them some nice lead
Lead and warmth
It's by a Manuel Castañón, he did the cover art for Godeater's Son apparently
One day I will commission a r t (BOTS DO NOT CONTACT ME) of my Darktide zealot
I had a funny idea of Santa being a neutral warp entity
He mainly gives gifts to children of all races
You can’t say the word for painting starting with “A”?
Even Xenos and such

Last time I did together with the word commission I had eight somethings trying to contact me
"bro guys I'm an artist please commission me"
shows AI art
shows obviously traced art
Wouldn't even mind if they actually posted their actual art
But it almost never is
I innately don't trust it even if they were real folk
Honestly even then the best thing to do would be to just
Link your artist social media
Like your X, blue sky, whatever the fuck
And be like
"If you're interested, here."
Not immediately put a PayPal link
First sign of a scam

Also usually artists have detailed like
Commission prices
Like "Sketch for $X amount" insert example of a sketch
"Line art for $Y amount" insert examples of line art
Type of shit
Is there a forty kay equivalent of santa
No
Oh wait
Sanguinala is Christmas
Sanguinius
Gifts?
You forgot mandatory telling on people for anti imperium behavior
Snitches, GET REWARDS
Candlemass is the more general Christmas no ?
"How can the imperium be bad if they get 2 Christmases?"
It's the Christmas for those weirdo Christian derivation that have their own traditions
Or maybe Yule
It is a spectrum.
Da Red Gobbo
HURRAY
Murder (legal) vs murder (not legal)
“Our pillaging and wonton slaughter is moral and good while their pillaging and wonton slaughter is evil and cruel!”
LOL
You see the difference is that
One worships a God who is an entity of the warp, extremely powerful, and forces their vision onto everyone else.
While the other worships a God who is an entity of the warp, extremely powerful, and forces their vision onto everyone else.
But now with four different flavors.
Except chaos doesnt need to have faith in their gods, they have proof
I know Greyfox is hot but she ain’t a god
You know who else has proof
Mortal Gods can have visible, and notable effects in 40k
PRAISE THE STAR CHILDREN
Fun fact, we actually don't really have an official depiction of the Chaos Gods for 40k
This… isn’t even true anymore
Although I think AoS has some
Yeah in AOS multiple people have gone and met the the chaos gods in books
And usually AoS stuff is extrapolated to 40k
AoS + WHF
because they are better settings

It is interesting that 40k has no depictions itself
Most are lifted from Fantasy and AoS
True
Which I think is kind of a shame
Except for one
I'm not even sure if it fucking counts
There is a blades of khrone warband who vacations into the mortal realms to murder to take a break from murdering in the realm of chaos
This is technically the first 40k specific depictions of the Chaos God officially
And it's in FUCKING CHRISTMAS BAUBLES
Aren’t these from the last 40K daemons codex
I'm not sure. Maybe, but I don't think there's any greater daemons who look like that
its from tarot cards
those are exaggerated (lol) illustrations
I don't see malal there
I also think it's mentioned that the tarots shift depending on the warp
The Tzeentch one suck
In lore at least
yes
I always imagine gods would look like roided up versions of their large demons
I actually kinda like how abstract they look
They look pretty neat all things considered
Especially Tzeentch
Who uh
Reminds me of like really old style medieval demon drawings
Stuff like this
technically couldnt any depiction of tzeentch be considered canon since he is constantly changing
a monkey typewriter situation
Khorne also fits and I like the idea of Nurgle actually being thinner looking (with the plague doctor mask too)
Like he represents the later stages of decay
Where the skin is dried out and even the maggots can't find any food anymore
All that's left is essentially a dry rotten husk
True they constantly change and shifts
But I like even in-universe depictions
And it's probably why it's less detailed than the others and why he's an unnatural shape
For a god of blood(shed), being a dried husk could fun
True.
That could also work
Like that's why he's so thirsty for blood and skulls
Considering how Khorne warriors act. It makes sense if he's more like
A starving animal
Constantly hunting for food
Rather than a warrior king
Since Khorne generally represents more primal violence
It would make sense for him to be somewhat animalistic
Also considering they're from the tarot cards.
These are basically in-universe depictions of them
Can't exactly paint a constantly shifting formless creature

Gotta settle on a form
Although since they shift and change depending on the warp. I can imagine Tzeentch's card constantly animating
The "depiction" changing shape at random intervals
Either way, I like depictions of the Chaos Gods
I remember a fan fiction that had each of the Chaos gods as a tree, each of them being fed, and feeding their domain.
Even if they're canonically formless, we as human beings like to give things form
So I like to think that they look different for every person
Since they're essentially living concepts
And concepts have a lot of interpretations
Tzeentch's domain being trickery and sorcery is similar to how some complicated tricks back then were commonly seen as sorcery/magic
His domain is the want to know and things generally being unknown
Either it's just a trick of the mind or it's actually magic
It doesn't matter anyways. It'll still kill you regardless.

Interesting
I can't imagine Khorne being a tree though
I can imagine Nurgle for obvious reasons
Slaanesh and even Tzeentch on some level
But I have a trouble thinking of a violent fucking tree
@arctic talon What's that burning tree you lot got from Australia ?
Nurgle would be a rotted fallen tree.
Slaanesh would be one that's well pruned and beautiful.
Tzeentch would be a tree that's twisting and turning
Eucalyptus trees irl fucking explode when they catch fire
Those would be some good violent trees
due to the oils in them
I mean that would be funny as hell. But I generally don't think of Khorne as explosions.
More so the concept of like
Stabbing a person directly
I thought of that tree that poisons you. Also in Australia
No wait this time it isn't
It's in North and south America
The Manchieel tree
The idea wasn't as much like that rather that the tree were the form their domain was, where they fed on the world, and then provided gifts like how trees get fruits
Sounds more like Nurgle territory though
That does sound interesting
nah
slaanesh would have a tree thats addictive
or the apple from the bible
I was thinking of a cherry tree tbh.
Beautiful when it blossoms but it's quite fleeting
Like how the pleasures need to be subsumed by more
Yeah which is why I thought of a beautiful one. Like one that's obsessively gardened and pruned
like taking care of a tree but slowly and slowly your skin turns to bark because of your obsession
I feel like this one would he Tzeentchian since the fruit of the tree was just knowledge
thats more slaanesh
True. It was knowledge of both good and bad
Seeking knowledge is pretty more Tzeentchian though
Since in the Bible once Adam ate it, he immediately began to become more aware
It's sort of an allegory for how humans one day developed consciousness
And suddenly understood good and bad
That's why Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, which was filled with other animals. They were literally no longer in the "animal kingdom".
It fits Tzeentch
A bit on the nose but Tzeentch is also like that

imagine ahriman finally getting to the heart of the black library and opening the tome of secrets
Tbh, the Snake could fit Tzeentch or Slaanesh
and its fucking empty
Nah
What would make it worse?
Have it be a glossy page that acts as a mirror
"The answer is from yourself and yourself alone."
by the power of friendship ahriman reverted the spell
old man willow
It would both frustrate Ahriman but also would be sort of an explanation of his main flaw.
The fact that he's too much of a fucking asshole to ask help from anybody
Ngl I’m kinda surprised Tzeentch isn’t more often depicted with Owl like traits
I think it's so funny that the bible made seeking knowledge the original sin
It really speaks to what that religion has always been
In fact, he's too arrogant to think that he got the solution for the flesh change to begin with
isnt it temptation
If he had asked Magnus
Then he would've been like
"No don't do that you idiot"
Ahriman, Magnus, and the Emperor basically caused their fates by their mistakes
So I think it'd be a fitting punishment to have it be a mirror
tzeentch most likely knows the spell but doesnt give it so he can have ahriman on a short leash
Literally encouraging self reflection
cause ahriman is already sort of independant from tzeentch
Tbf it's less that and more that
Now that Adam and Eve gained the knowledge of what's wrong and right
They now have additional responsibilities
It's like getting kicked out of your home to go to college
Although tbf even what counts as the original sin
Depends on the demoniation
Because
Of fucking course it does
You could argue the first sin was Lucifer and his pride
But they do agree it's from Adam and Eve disobeying God
So it's less them gaining knowledge and more...
Then again idk if Lucifer is mentioned in the Bible
"Listen. Do not eat the fruit."
"Do not- you fucking ate the fruit didn't you "
"THIS IS LIKE THE ONE SINGULAR RULE I HAD!"
"WHAT THE FUCK?"
It is 100% a punishment rather than more responsibility
True
Either way original sin kinda comes from the disobeying part
I think regardless of interpretation, Adam and Eve have no reason to be called guilty by any just and all-knowing being
Although even what it is
It's uhh
somehow variable
Hell some version literally have the original sin just
Destroy all free will
Somehow
They literally do not know right and wrong and only sought to enrich themselves with knowledge, which their god lied to them about 
What?
Bro what?
They ate from it because they were tempted to by the serpent
- more of god being sexist LMAO
correct me if im wrong
isnt the entire thing of Adam and Eve being tricked because they are just extremely naive and ignorant
lol
So bro’s just straight up insulting my religion got it
Yeah, and the serpent tells them it opens their eyes which is enriching their knowledge
Yes, the serpent takes advantage of them
But they were still given an order by God
And god punishes them for something he orchestrated to happen and easily could have made not be that way
Okay then why did they trust the serpent
its a talking snake
Temptation
also werent they told EXACTLY to not eat the apple
It's also kinda unclear how sentient Adam and Eve were.
Either way I doubt that was the intention necessarily. Because the story is clearly allegorical and not meant to be taken that literally.
Its also important to remember
christianity/catholcism makes like the most "natural" enticing things be "evil"
its why succubus and incubi exist
"WATCH OUT THIS HOT BITCH WILL COME AND STEAL YOUR JIZZ"
Like okay pal
lmao
More reason for me to call it backwater in the most respectable way I can contain myself to
same people who get mad beacuse an artist made a really sexy Lucifer statue
Again I view it more as just the story of how humanity got kicked out of the "animal kingdom" in general. Since that's literally what happened.
As soon as they gained the knowledge of right and wrong. They became more aware than other animals and therefore didn't belong with animals.
Tbf that makes sense
Id say some stuff but id get banned

the statue I mean not the outrage
I mean does it
Classic media illiteracy
satanism/lucifer etc are like
very much not relevant at all in this age lol
i remember watching that video and the entire comment section was
"Goddamn hes HOT"
There's usually two depictions of demons.
Either as ugly
Or as beautiful
Beautiful depictions I see them as the demon trying to be disarming and trustworthy to lure people in
One leans more towards "I AM AN EVIL CREATURE THAT WANTS TO STEAL YOUR SOUL AND DAMN YOU FOR ETERNITY"
While the other is trying to deceive
Like you obviously aren't gonna trust something that looks like they got a car ran through their face
Same way Sauron made himself look like the most flawless Elf to make them trust him
And then got a botched nose job
I also think what's basically one of the biblical fanfictions... Paradise Lost
Had Lucifer embody both
Started off beautiful but the ending specifically had him as ugly
Also quick fun fact
"Satan" was also depicted as a dragon
Yep
Which makes all of the slaying dragon stories make sense
And it's also fucking funny that the only one that actually goes with this detail
Is fucking Hazbin Hotel
It's the only hell related media that isn't specifically from the Bible where Satan and Lucifer are different entities, and Satan is an actual dragon
Wanna know another funny thing
A near perfect depiction of Satan can also be Maleficent

Yeah I always figured that Maleficent was made to be a Satan analogue
I mean she's literally called
Maleficent
Bitch is fucking slaying in that outfit though
She’ll always be peak Disney villain
Rip the animatronic tho
The big dragon animatronic in Fantasmic caught fire a few years back
I also find it funny that the entire Sleeping Beauty story can be summarized as
"Female version of Satan gets ragebaited by a random girl's looks and puts her in a coma"

snow white ate and served so hard the devil died
sleeping beauty served so hard in her sleep an old woman died on the spot
Malificent is even more petty, she cursed Aurora because her parents didn't invite her to the Christening
Yeah I think she was explicitly an evil fairy
But given that she has devil horns
...
And turns into a dragon
Not inviting her was very rude
She's definitely a demon instead
Which annoys me how they tried making her an anti hero or something in the live action films
She’s the queen of evil
Let her revel in it
Pettiness and all
I watched it
It was fine
But it wasn't good
I don't mind the idea of a traditionally evil villain being reworked to be more complicated
But also the fact that
Why did they choose maleficent
Pretty sure it's the same in the live action, she curses Aurora because she isn't invited, but there's also the added detail that Aurora's dad fucked Malificent over when she was young
Her name is fucking Maleficent
I think the story should've still ended with her death. Like it should've been a downward spiral
Like it should've been a story of somebody turning irreversibly evil
sometimes a villain doesnt need to be sympathetic
pure evil villains can be done well
Starts out sympathetic but quickly down spirals
Until eventually her own actions does her in
And it's still fully deserved
That would've been a better interpretation at least
like the 1990 witches movie
Judge Claude Frollo
The play had him slightly more sympathetic only for that to be a lie.
And by slightly more, I mean he tried to pull the "You're one of the good ones" to Esmeralda.
He also tried to uh invite her for some special
"instruction"

He was also Quasi’s actual uncle no?
And he did on some level actually care for Quasi
Also he was the actual Archdeacon
thats the cute version xD
in the original german fairytale her father ripped off malificients wings
The play version has him have a hint of good but it turns out to just be a mask to hide his hypocrisy.
It's more subtle
maleficient actually displays this
While the Disney version has Frollo revel in his evil
And it's genuinely fun
I can't really choose one over the other tbh
Both do well
Well that is interesting
I still think that her being an anti-hero is weird though
Should've been something similar to... God forgive me for this comparison
Breaking Bad

"AURORA WE NEED TO COOK-"
i agree, it does however depict better why she became evil
You know what, if they do a Hunchback live action I need Brian Cranston as Frolo
But jokes aside, it starts off with Walter being sympathetic. But as the show goes on, he basically goes in a downward spiral that's entirely his fault
And I think a future Sleeping Beauty adaptation should go that route for maleficent
Na we won't get another Sleeping Beauty adaptation, Malificent made a morbillion dollars
It even got a sequel
Aware

If there is one thing I can give Maleficent
and spawned a whole genre of Disney novels that did the same for all of the other Disney villains
At least it actually tried something new
Imagine Peter Cushing if he were still with us
Like

At least it fucking tried
A majority of Disney live actions are literally just the animated but now it's creepy ass cgi
And "realistic"
At least Maleficent tried to have it's own unique spin
PoV and story
The bar is the same place as the OG's dead dragon body
But it's there
It at least was an attempt to try something new
Try something somewhat creative
Rather than
"Look it's fucking Simba but now a real lion!!"
Disney should have never removed it's 2D animation department
That was the beginning of the fall

They tried to unionise, had to go
They did Treasyre Planet and Atlantis so dirty
"We removed our 2d animation department because we want our films to be profitable and be safe investment wise."
first 3D film was chicken little

At least Meet the Robinsons was good
Dinosaur was peak
good movie
The OG Jurasic Park man
ARE YA REAADY
The stranger walking past the Warhammer store after we drag him in to ref our match
Coco was the one about music and Dia De Muertos right
Yup
NO MUSIC 🩴
I mean my favorite gifs are still there
I really liked the role model actually turning out to be a huge piece of shit
A twist villain that actually worked well
I like how his logic was entirely consistent
And it wasn't a complete 180
So you could actually see how he could be villain rather than just
Suddenly changing personalities for no reason
Like he always talked about snatching opportunities
big showmanship lol
Also since it was revealed to the living world that he was a fraud
Being forgotten is how you get a second death essentially
So he will be eventually be forgotten
I love the way he runs lmao
But only after he gets remembered as a fraud
Also the after credits scene shows he's still under a heavy bell
Nobody bothered to even jail him or whatever
He's just stuck there until he eventually disappears due to being forgotten
If he ever gets forgotten
Because he will be remembered
As a fraud, liar, cheat, etc.
I guess you could say we don’t need to ask for whom the bell tolls

It's a fate worse than death.
... literally in this case
Although I like how in general the guy even got away with it past his death
Like it's legitimately unfair that Hector died while his family thought he was a bum
And then he was abused even after he died
It's basically an analogue of how we can find out information about a person even after they die
That changes our entire perception of things
I AM A LAMB AND A MAYOR OF ZOOTOPIA I WILL NOW MAKE THE PREDATORS FERAL
why did she do that again
Oh yeah that was unironically why
Yea it's cliphy now or some shit
anyways that goofy space marine 2 models shoved into Endfield gives me hope a design similar to my favorite arknights operator can make it in bcs those models didn't have any clipping issues despite being so big and armored
Klipy
shame
Why is it all 29
Its probably a reference to something I go outside too much to understand
thats map info not UI dingu
Everything on the screen is UI
I actually read on the bus today.
I must've had such powerful aura..
“Get in there”
Remember guys
Fucking explodes
Batman doesn't kill people
Is surviving that better than dieing?
😇
Batman after he catches a jaywalker
Nah that guy lived long enough to die in the ICU therefore batman did not kill him
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

non lethal gas explosion
Get pollinated nerd
It's like Charles Guiteau, he shot President Garfield, who later died due to an infection caused by the bullet. So Guiteau pleaded guilty to shooting him, but innocent to killing him because it was his doctors fault.
Honestly makes more sense judging by what was cut from the movie
This is a very fun fact tbh
Things like collars on the children of carnivores
The polar bear birthday cut content was so heart wrenching
Bell weather would've probably been more obvious if that remained
Instead of seemingly being racist for
Zero reason
Wait what?
I hate that they were too spineless to proceed with what could have been a very good media
There was cut content, at least I'm pretty sure it was official, about a polar bear kid growing up on his birthday
Let me try to find it
Like it's definitely a case of "Ah shit it doesn't make sense now that we cut it. Fuck we don't have any time anymore."
Like Bell weather makes so much more sense if things like the Polar bear cut content remained
This Deleted ‘Zootopia’ Scene Will Forever Change The Way You See The Movie
tbf
Yeah LMAO
Many such cases with cut content sadly
Yup.
Bell weather makes more sense in contexts of previous drafts
Rather than the release
"Why is she racist?"
"Because there's obviously societal mistreatment of a specific type of people that would lead to that conclusion."
Rather than someone using the night howler flowers in an attempt to create racism
It would be a symptom of a larger problem
Instead of a power play. It would be a severely misguided attempt to make people see what she views as a threat
To "make them understand"
Although I get why they went to the power direction
Since many politicians started racism towards a specific group for power
How do you justify slavery to people who are uncomfortable at owning another human being?
Just make them think they're not human
Sometimes I get to points where it's difficult to see people who think this way as human.
And yes while that's Ironic
it's just.
It's astounding really.
Just how do you see another being in our current era, grow up in our "1st world" country and just be that way?
Then outright refuse to see otherwise
The concept of nuance has been weaponized to obscure truth

Because X reason, because Y
I despise it every moment
Sometimes they've never done anything wrong to that person
But it's the people around them that tell them to hate
So they hate
yeah I know it's just a lot to process
And that's exactly how they get people.
It's hard to think nuance
Just don't
they just use "well not everything is true" when its most convenient for them
its shit my father loves to do
Yeah that's annoying
But my conclusion is that if it wants me to hurt someone for zero direct provocation
Then it's bullshit
Never "a white shooter", just "a shooter"
meanwhile always "a black/gay/trans/etc. shooter", but never just "a shooter"
Thats what I noticed immediately
Dogwhistle moment
remember the guy who supposedly had a trans girlfriend
like
if she was real
you're supposed to keep their identity A FUCKING SECRET.
thats the whole point of anonymity
Well unless they've fully come out but yk that's rare
you dont tell an anonymous persons skin color
OH you mean saying "trans"
you dont tell if they wear glasses
That girlfriend 10000000% is fabricated bullshit
He was a registered republican and even if he wasn't he was based as f- (slumps over)
it just annoys me that theres more than a minority of people out there not biting onto that immediately
Can we make this but its a darktide objective meter instead or something lol
LOL
Tbh I think custodes would be moving so fast they would look kinda like little songbirds where theyre always moving but their movements are so fast that they look like theyre running at like 5 frames per second
Pretty sure the guy who made this video used AI for that
I must be confusing him with someone else tho
My friends and I are 2/3rds through Mulan and I am once again saying we need Warhammer to become MORE Chinese
COURT EUNUCHS ON TERRA NOW
More Chinese themed stuff in 40k would be rad
Its Chinese New Year so my copium is we get Chinese drip somehow
Make it up Fatshark i dont care
Lamellar flak armor PLEASE
Which I'm gonna get a comm of one day 
Something I did on photoshop for the shits n giggle
just cropped some other night lord gear into him 
for reference this is the original pic
He bled hyper realistic blood out on me....
if it came from his eyes it's not blood...

Coom....
acid coom...
The worst kinda coom....
Reminds me of the olympic cheating scandal that's happening rn
Athletes in the ski jump event were injecting hyaluronic acid into their genitals in order to increase the size of the crotch area of their suits, because having larger suits offers better aerodynamics
💀
"Brothers please fucking help I can't see"
Also Sonic.exe looking ahh
Wrong exe
Yeah there we go
This fucking guy
also
Curie is such a baddie fr
omg my crush!!! 😍
Had some helldivers fans telling me 4 helldivers could kill a marine
And they started calling me biased when I said it would require at least 20 for one marine which is honestly fair asf
The average Helldiver fans are not known for their critical thinking skills. 
I was being fair bro cause I’m a big fan of both but I asked it in a helldivers chat so I shoulda knew it wouldn’t be a even convo
One with a thermite if they’re lucky

At the start of it I said no self sacrifice allowed
Because if you allow self sacrifice the helldivers would just blow themselves up
It wasn’t even really a power scaling convo I was just tryna shoot the shit in general chat really
But people always get defensive behind their fandoms
They're literally just regular humans bruh 😭
Yes dude and I wasn’t even on some power scaling shit
Helldivers fans try not to glaze evil fascists challenge
Like I was just asking to see the vibes
Even if we glaze them and consider them better than all guardsmen they still would need at least twenty to kill one in my honest opinion @lament shoal
Yeah fr
And they started mentioning stratagems like the marine is just gonna sit there and let a orbital laser hit him
At that point I just had to be quiet
Also with how helldivers have a habit of dying in really stupid ways, I don't have high hopes for them in an encounter against a marine lol
And like I said when I first asked the question I said no self sacrifice allowed lol
And I asked how many it would take to beat a blood angel
I didn’t even mention if they would be enraged lol I was giving the helldivers every buff I could and they still said I was biased
Honestly I think that technically they could depending on the distance
Also depends on if you include stratagems
But I assume not because that's unfair
I’d like to hear it I’m not biased
This is the case with both 40k and helldivers, but from what I've seen helldivers fans are way more annoying and aggressive about it. And that's saying a lot, given how some people in the 40k community are
No, I let them let the helldivers use them in this scenario
My situation was how many helldivers does it take to beat one standard blood angel
Yeah Space Marines wouldn't do well against space artillery
They would be fucked
My say would be about twenty and it enraged them all
I play helldivers everyday bro, if I was a MARINE in those situations it’s a cakewalk
But I don’t wanna shit on people’s fandoms
So if you include stratagems that are like Orbital strikes and shit
A space marine would be cooked
Like trell said earlier, they wouldn't stand around waiting for it to hit them though. They could likely cover enough ground to get outta the radius thanks to their enhancements too
Is the marine glued to the ground
True, depends on how big the radius is
And more importantly how canonical the stratagem distance is
Like is the strike small for gameplay purposes
The marine would be running at them at Mach ten while they call in stratagems and support weapons
True but three could distract the SM while one could call it in
Emphasis on distract
A marine can run at 60 miles per hour most enemies a diver face are docile in comparison
Some are also wider in area
As as for the rail cannons and railguns helldivers use, well like I told them see the tau
And some are homing
Like the Orbital Rail cannon is actually homing
For how long until they are just dead absolutely glazing them to the maximum
The SM could dodge out of the way though so I'm not too sure
Heavily depends.
This is the kinda convo I was having with them laati and it started making them mad
Since like... Helldivers vary in competency
Like I was just legit asking questions being objective
It’s not like I don’t like both of them
Helldivers fans moment
But yeah Helldivers vary heavily
But generally if we treat them similar to guardsmen. Probably enough to call it in
I think most people are arguing in the point of their own personal diver and that’s where it gets personal
At least
I look at my own diver as elite but bruh he isn’t doing shit with a marine
Although maybe the one who called it in might be dead
By the time he is, the strike would already be dropping
But there's still a chance he could live
And then there comes the question
Are orbitals and things of the such even able to penetrate marine armor
Yes
That’s a whole other can of worms
And I didn’t even mention it
Cause then they would prolly explode
Like I would say yes since Space Marines can technically still die to Lasgun fire
It's very rare
But it can happen because there's weak spots on the armor
All that stratagem talk is cool until the marine has one of these bad boys
And that's also why any SM veteran generally never charges full throttle towards a bunch of people with lasguns
Because Lasguns can actually kill them
Ceramite armor works very well against small arms to heavy infantry fire. Against large artillery tho, the marine doesn't have as much of a high chance of survival
It's rare but not impossible
Generally, unless if they're helmet less, they will die to artillery
Massed fire kills marines a lot
Lol
Armor will buckle and break
Like there’s so many things that would just fuck the divers immediately in my opinion that’s why I said a blood angel or I was gonna say just a standard ultra marine
There is no situation where they beat a death guard
Also, Space Marines can die to plasma
Oh ik, but if they're quick enough to get outta the line of fire they can definitely tank a few shots from a volley before they reach safety, assuming none of the shots hit any un armored points
Very true and divers got plasma
But the thing is what level of technology is that exactly that’s what I was arguing by showing them the tau laati
It may the same idea in theory but much weaker
But I can’t necessarily call that
Tau railguns are very effective against marines, and most heavily armored units too
Hm true. But generally plasma weapons can kill Automatons like... this
So I would safely assume they can penetrate armor
Do you think this would be a threat to any manner of marine
But this is where the convo bridges into power scaling and I didn’t want that lol
It was meant to be a fun question and they lost sight of that
But yeah in general.
If it can melt through steel easily. It can probably go through ceramite
Might be a bit harder but like
Eh
They aren't made out of circuits and wires
It’s just hard for me to believe four is enough
The four would have to have plasma and the aim of their life
Divers would be pretty cooked against tryanids tbh
But it can be done
I’ve killed this enemy many times as a helldiver in Melee, if a helldiver can do that a marine would kill it with his pinky
These are the things I think about when I consider that question
Again, ability is when it becomes questionable since technically I could say that a Helldiver could be really skilled
Or the Marine could just be an idiot since that does happen
Exactly bro, you drop a singular marine into a helldiver d10 (hardest difficulty) the job is done in minutes
A surprising amount of times
One sm literally died to a guy throwing a wooden spear to his neck
Cause he decided to take off his helmet
Bro thought he was a protag 💀
Average helldiver lifespan is approximately two minutes
An elite helldiver has what? A month of constant battle experience
Before expiration
In general I would treat them the same as guardsman in this regard
So it would be equivalent to "4 guard vs 1 sm"
There's a reason why divers who survive even a single engagement get their own warship lmao
To be fairer to them I said let’s assume helldivers are better than ALL guardsmen
They're not expected to survive
Because otherwise I just don’t see them winning bro
Yeah I expect them to be scion level?
Who are elite guardsmen.
Although guardsmen are technically elite also
Elite like stormtroopers
...so enhanced fodder
Lucifer blacks
They are so elite the emperor used to let them guard him
Eh might be too far
Emperor wouldn’t shit on a helldiver but to glaze them I still said let’s assume helldivers are better
I would put them around Scion level or Veteran Guardsman
But yeah realistically a human can kill an SM
If they have explosives
Plasma
Most overhyped and glazed regiment in history when their lore is "Stood around"
Lmaooo
I’m just throwing some shit out there fast but my point was
But it's hard to deduce if an SM will let them
Helldivers not even better than most guardsmen
War in general is also heavily dependent on luck
You can be the most skilled individual ever
And then die cause some random child soldier with a shitty AK got a lucky shot in
Volume of fire and fighting unfair also. As Cadia shows, 1000 lasguns embedded with artillery and special weapons like plasma and meltas can mince Black Legion. Even Morrow has a Khornate berserker kill under his belt, at least one
It should just be obvious with how skewed the battle is anyway I’m giving the divers a full complement from super destroyer and their whole armory to see how many for one marine lmao
A helldiver would NOT survive the streets of necromunda 😭🙏
Like I said before even just giving the marine a simple iron halo heavily weighs the battle in their favor so it’s like
The beat cops are issued bolters they aint ready for the mugger with a Grav pistol
I still can't believe how cool they made VS look
Place your bets, what rotation of cosmetics are we getting when this + Admech class drops
But generally I will conclude that.
If Helldivers call in artillery stratagems, they will win. Might be wiped out but they will win.
If they call in something like an anti tank missile launcher. They'll probably die if they called it in as soon as they notice an SM.
If they got one beforehand, they will be likely to win. But this depends on what they call in.
If all four got plasma. I assume it would be T'au level so they'll probably win.
But anything besides that? Guaranteed wipe
'luv me clan-house
'luv me crime
'ate the Palatine Enforcers
Simple as
Wow so you think 4 get it done as well
Heavily depends on circumstances
And weapons
I feel you
Necromunda is the rare case of the minis matching the art 1:1. If I didn t have a huge pile of shame, VS would be my 3rd gang one day
Which i give them
I give them every buff they could possibly have in the situation
SMs also generally aren't stupid.
VS are my gang
...generally
Debated Delaque as a secondary
And in my case I said it would be a blood angel I didn’t really specify a chapter
But they also would not go into rage just a regular angel
I have Palanite Enforcers painted in VS colors, unfinished project though because Enforcers keep getting loved
Generally, the SM would likely notice before they do.
But the thing is we haven’t even considered the blood angels skill in combat but it goes without saying
So if it's a situation where both start off hidden
likely the helldivers would die
Imagine they had to fight a raptor
sniped by something they can't see
Bro would kill them like a super Rambo
nah they're cooked unless if they got a lucky shot
Yeah the chapter they're fighting will definitely change things
Exactly bro
It has to be one of the most normal ones
No mutations
Speaking of Blood Angels and Necromunda shoutout to Vandoth
tbf even a normal chapter is still extremely competent
I don't think a squad of divers is gonna be prepared for an army of space mongolians on motorcycles speeding towards them and laughing lmao
I really need to finish painting my VS, no munda league near me was.demotivating
Yeah but like if it’s a raven guard or some shit it’s gonna become a convo of like some kinda weird metal gear solid situation
I need to remotivate myself as well 
cooked
no shot
you gonna try to fight something you can't see?
Rg marines can literally phase in and out of shadows bruh
Exactly like a ultramarine and blood angel wouldn’t go deep into their bag of tactics for them I believe them would fight them more head on
The divers would get picked off one by one
That’s why I went with the chapter I did that was a lane I didn’t wanna go down cause they would never win
And then I’d look REALLY biased
Yeah makes sense
Hell is the helldiver gonna do when this fella is coming out of his shadow
Panic recoilless to the chest and send them back to the warp
The infiltration aspect of the RG is overstated.
All in all that was a very good objective convo my whole goal of asking the question originally
depends on the helldiver tbh
Now, how many rejects to kill one marine 😂
again mfs who survived shit like the creek will probably not care
I didn’t mention things like this because they were already calling me biased and a redditor
Well
They'd probably have a good chance to take one out if they had prior intel that they'd be encountering one
Powerscaling space marines and helldivers is pretty reddit tier behavior all around tbh
Prep time and all that
Depending on what kind of weaponry you bring to the table.
Guardsmen have NOT solo'd helbrutes bruh what is that guy on?? 😭
I give the helldivers the best shit and the marine nothing basically
If you have a rocket launcher, the SM wouldn't survive a direct hit.
He still mentioned a example of self sacrifice which I said is not allowed but I let him cook

I just wanted to ask a fun question ngl didn’t expect people to get so mad
A dreadnaught wouldn't survive a 120mm APFSDS shot from a modern tank.
You're asking a bunch of autistics about Their Favorite Supersoldier
I seen a bunch of Warhammer fans in chat
So I was thinking like
This is the right time to ask
Non derogatory
My thing is bro I like both of them as well but you have to be objective
Probably referring to the instance where Gaunt's Ghosts destroyed a (blinded) chaos dreadnought through guile and well timed explosions iirc
You see
I'm autistic about war equipment.
the problem is that you're trying to be reasonable
And even if you don’t wanna fine, like laati said she thinks four win in most situations, they said the same thing, you don’t see me being rude to laati
when you're supposed to always support the agenda
That is what they fail to realize I just wanted to yap basically
And you see I did not realize that
Yeah that doesn't count as soloing at all. That's using coordinated tactics in a group. Plus Gaunt's Ghosts are pretty skilled. But the average guardsman is getting turned into fucking paste by one of these things
What if we gave one a plasma gun
Well yes, they're exaggerating
They already have plasma
But my thing is I don’t think it’s as advanced as tau
The Guardsman
Ohhhh
Plasma Guns are basically cheating
Having weapons that can disable the thing is one thing.
Getting close enough to use the weapon is another.
I think Imperium Plasma guns are more powerful than Tau
But also way more unreliable
Doesn't account for absurd amounts of chaos roids these things are on. Killing one takes a whole effort for space marines enough as is
It’s what I call Volatile
High highs, very low lows
TOW missile can kill most modern tanks in 1 hit. But it just doesn't have the range vs a tank.
CHAOS IS ONE HELLUVA DRUG
I’m guessing if I want a Plasma Gun heavy Space Marine army the DA would be the way to go?
or do IH use a lot of Plasma Guns too?
in terms of tanking shots?
DA, BA, Sally
yeah the DA generally don't care about that
well they do but they would tank multiple before going down
A slaaneshi daemon gave me this random pile of dust they called “Rubric”. I can now smell the Big Bang and see the Scream of the Warp

You hear the cries of somebody
Lore accuracy
Nobody ever notices the meaning of my arbitrators name and it makes me sad
