he literally just confirms himself to be a sociopath

[fervent geode]

I have been liking it

[vagrant fox]

In my head it occilates betwen like a 6/10 and a 8/10, I can't make my mind up about it

[fervent geode]

I like all of Cerastes' speeches

[arctic talon]

I think its pretty good after finishing it

[storm jungle]

Anyawy okay doing it now, what a dipshit

[arctic talon]

but I'm like not sure

[rocky gale]

I've been enjoying the new Aestred Thurga book

[queen laurel]

Bro thinks that were warhammer 24/7 bots like what

[spring cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/paul-baumer-all-quiet-on-the-western-front-all-quiet-gif-27475679

[vagrant fox]

They're popping, I do like Cerastes

[queen laurel]

also OL

[fervent geode]

So far I am happy with Annandale's WB work

[storm jungle]

"40k fans should be ashamed of you guys"

[fervent geode]

He has undeniable aura like Marduk

[storm jungle]

I can tbelieve people have social lives

[arctic talon]

ngl

I think most 40k fans wouldn't give a shit

[spring cairn]

they don't know that i am all the 40k fans

[arctic talon]

about a conversation like that

just saying lol

[queen laurel]

ROWDY

[storm jungle]

Its also literally what i said, conversations always flow to other stuff, everyone in here literally always goes back to talking about warhammer after some topics lol

[fervent geode]

Yeah lmao he just went on some tirade for uh

No reason

[storm jungle]

yeah uh

i did some digging

[rocky gale]

The Astor Sabathiel book was so bad I just stopped reading it and moved onto it as soon as it arrived in the post.

[vagrant fox]

Maybe don't start insulting people and get pissy about people talking about random things and bring up something you wanna talk about instead

[storm jungle]

he also ragequit the Vermintide 2 server due to arguing with people for no reason

so uhhh yeah

[queen laurel]

I don't understand the stigma people have when conversations lead to other topics like bro we go off topic of time to times

[fervent geode]

Where 40k? RAHH NO 40K F U ALL I AM LEAVING

[storm jungle]

DUDE. ANOTHER BAD SISTER BOOK?

ARE YOU SHITTING ME

[queen laurel]

What is it WITH people just not liking people being people

[rocky gale]

Huh no

What?

[storm jungle]

wdym "what" you just said its bad

[rocky gale]

Astor Sabathiel isn't a Sister book

[vagrant fox]

Definite aura, hopefully we get more of him
Also loved the sisters in the book, definite hype moments from them

[storm jungle]

Wait what

[rocky gale]

She's an Inquisitor!!!!

[storm jungle]

isnt that the flag chick-

OH RIGHT

the victorian forehead brand chick

damn

[fervent geode]

Aesura had aura indeed

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

she's the terminator one

[rocky gale]

Aestred Thurga is the Sister and her book is good so far

[arctic talon]

with the really fucked up proportions

but thats just all termie armor

[fervent geode]

Liked Mazarine shivering his timbers

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

Aestred Astor.... my brain

[arctic talon]

do not think about the proportions like all terminator armor

[queen laurel]

she's the one that got shot in the head right

[fervent geode]

Astor Sabathiel is like Miriael's Mom or smth probably

[rocky gale]

Astor's book might get better, I just go so bored of it that I just stared at the wall during my break at work rather than read it

[arctic talon]

Nah her book is

not great imo

[queen laurel]

yeah lady that got her brains blowout that one

[storm jungle]

Yea, I still dont know how she survived that lol

[arctic talon]

[vagrant fox]

Also hope I get more of her, she's baller
I reckon the book could've used a few more chapters to shore up the bits I didn't like thinking about it

[arctic talon]

too stupid to die

[queen laurel]

SHE SURVIVED THAT

[arctic talon]

only hit her in the brain

[queen laurel]

she survived because she didn't have any viable organ in there

[fervent geode]

Fair enough, maybe we'll see another showdown in a sequel

[arctic talon]

me when I shoot a hardcore puritan but I only hit their brain

[fervent geode]

You hit nothing then

[rocky gale]

As far as I know so far from what I read her body was like instantly sucked into a warp storm and got preserved then found by another Inquisitor who handed her body over to an Admech dude who owed him a favour.

[storm jungle]

?????

what the fu-

Blues Brothers ahh

[fervent geode]

Guh

[rocky gale]

In the book she is like "Dude how the fuck am I alive, I straight up fucking died" and the Tech Priest is just like "Huh yea, it was a lot of work"

[storm jungle]

Had to put all those guts back in i guess

[rocky gale]

I just wish the book was better

[storm jungle]

tho its sci-fi so not that wild i suppose

[solid horizon]

hell nah loyalist decimator

[arctic talon]

the book was mid imo

if you didn't like the start of it

I don't think you'll like the rest

[rocky gale]

It's so boring

[queen laurel]

"Huh yea, it was a lot of work"

This sounds like a manager for a job finding your body digging it up and putting your corpse back together into working order just to get you to work

[arctic talon]

And yeah its boring LOL

[rocky gale]

and does absolutely nothing to actually introduce you to her as a character

[arctic talon]

yeah

ur suppose to read her comics before it

which are also very meh

[languid meadow]

my friend is going through MW5 mercs and she comes across a Marauder and this is me basically telling her to get it

no money sadly

[rocky gale]

It just assumes you already know everything about her

[queen laurel]

What is there to know about her all I know about her is she got shot in the head for being a dumbass

fuck you mean keep a demon around

[arctic talon]

@queen laurel can you belive it monster hunter stories 3, just 2 weeks away

[rocky gale]

Vs the chad Queen of the Rose Throne, which summarises the entire plot of the previous novel in the first chapter and reintroduces all the main characters upon seeing them in a way that feels natural while making it accesible to people who didn't read the first book.

[queen laurel]

oh shit for real i didn't play the demo because i wanna surprise myself

[vagrant fox]

I heard they fixed monhuns optimisation just to put in a DRM that tanked the FPS even lower than before, is this true

[queen laurel]

I've been a loyal devoted person on playing every single version

of monster hunter stories

[queen laurel]

watch me just get a tigrex again

[vagrant fox]

also can you believe it Death Rider just three days away

[arctic talon]

No

lol

That might happen with the dlc though like it did with World and Iceborne

[vagrant fox]

shame, I want my friend to suffer

[arctic talon]

The performance is good now

For wilds

But Capcom can’t do a PC launch to save their life for monster hunter

World was even worse optimized then Wilds on launch

[arctic talon]

Where did you even hear that one from lmao

[rocky gale]

and there's also just like a really weird scene early on in Sabathiel's book where she literally just had a normal conversation and then the other guy is just like "huh guess it's true what they say, you are one hard ass son of a bitch" and it just feels like so fucking out of nowhere, like she doesn't do anything or say anything really to justify that response. It's just the book going "Everyone thinks Sabathiel is cool because she is"

[vagrant fox]

I have a little quasimodo rumourmonger type around

[arctic talon]

lol

Nah wilds has the same shitty drm it’s had since launch

The question is if the dlc will make performance worse now

[vagrant fox]

Yeah why not I want my friend to suffer

[arctic talon]

If it’s like world’s dlc it will

And it’ll be rough lol

[languid meadow]

Yes Malzeno we see the fit....

[arctic talon]

Let them aura farm smh

[languid meadow]

I think Malzeno won the best flagship fan contest recently

which makes sense

peak monster

peak armour

peak

[vagrant fox]

Isn't she?

[arctic talon]

Peak variant as well tbh

[rocky gale]

Meanwhile the Aestred Thurga novel starts off with a chad Imperial Guard Captain having a heroic last stand vs a hot Nurgle Sorceress, then goes into Aestred having recovered the Captains sword because it's a relic and her having the internal struggle of returning it to be interred with the Captains body or keeping it because it's a cool sword.

[languid meadow]

also wilds performance is pretty good now

[arctic talon]

it runs at 30 fps with high graphics on steam deck without issues lol

Kind of deranged how much the recent performance fixes helped

[vagrant fox]

why does it look surprised

It's a long shot but I would love for Malzeno to be added to Wilds

I just want that armour

same with like

Alatreon despite him being in worlds but I'd love to fight him with the focus system and weapons switch

You know how many times ive seen a post where its like "its just so hard to be zionist nowadays...you dont get what we go through....tired of people saying its bad"

[storm jungle]

bro they sound like imperials in 40k books

WE SHALL NUKE AND CLEANSE THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF HERETICS

Ok no thats fr they talk like melodramatic preachers 24/7

[storm jungle]

also completely irrelevant but

Yes

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-2-dies-of-cringe-automatons-berserker-gif-9408101297280016642

[storm jungle]

my honest reaction

[misty vector]

fighting robots on the ice planets was cooler than creek tbh

[storm jungle]

Agreed tbh

[arctic talon]

Creek was only cool because it was new

lol

I like the cape I got though lol

Fits well with any outfit lol

[misty vector]

one trend of calling it robot vietnam and people pretend it was important and difficult

[storm jungle]

Yeah and the devs playing into it

literal footnote planet

[arctic talon]

It was some random shithole, but it was def difficulty mostly due to people having no equipment and the old automaton aimbot aim lol

Nowadays it would prolly get chewed through with ease

[rocky gale]

Weren't the spawn rates also kinda screwed, so you'd face like 20 Automaton gunships at times

[languid meadow]

they weren't a thing atp

it was just everyone being new and yeah no real tools to deal with it

[arctic talon]

Nah

It was just bots being way more accurate + no gear

[rocky gale]

I must be mixing up the timeline

[languid meadow]

thats uh

one of the planets thats a jungle but also grey

there's a bunch

[arctic talon]

That was a different planet

Malevolon is the super shadowy blue one

[languid meadow]

creek is VERY blue

[arctic talon]

Not the grey one

[languid meadow]

did cyberstan change on the map at all?

from the bombardment

like mars

[storm jungle]

Nope

the bombardment was like random tiny ass shells dropping straight down

it wasnt even funny like the DSS MASS-BOMBARDMENT bug

[vagrant fox]

iirc there was a bug on malevelon where extra bots spawned but I don't remember

[arctic talon]

That was just the old spawning bug

It wasn’t just bots

[storm jungle]

Do you guys remember the uh

tiny ass hangar map where you had to send civillians across like a small garden sized area

where automatons didnt stop spawning

i miss those missions lol

[vagrant fox]

So it probably was

Yeah those were hard

Dropship every second it felt like

[arctic talon]

Those were so funny lol

[vagrant fox]

Coming back to Darktide after a break is always a treat because there'll just be some new wack lines

a martyr for memes maybe lol

[winter pine]

Think they gave up on it lmao

[outer wave]

They're wanting to name a highway after him

Nah they're trying to still do it

It's just less prevalent in the news

[storm jungle]

^

because he very much was kind of a nobody

most people had no idea he existed before he even got shot outside of the US

including me

[outer wave]

All shooting you in the neck

[queen laurel]

Genuinely my first time hearing about him was his neck getting blown out

[vagrant fox]

I'd heard of him before but always in the context of saying some hatermonger™ nonsense and some tv show or another

[rocky gale]

Dude was just a hateful individual that picked fights with everyone

Like he was even beefing with Miss Rachel

[daring creek]

normal day in auric maelstrom

[languid meadow]

Speeding down the kirk way to t bone a gas truck

[celest dome]

The funniest thing with Kirk is how his wife is so on board with grifting on his death

[daring creek]

That reminds me

I should show my therapist a show about general anxiety disorder

its called "I'm happy you're here"

pretty sure..

I love puppets so much

https://youtu.be/aSwAeNy5o34

Its so cool...

[vagrant fox]

You should watch Meet The Feebles

[daring creek]

.

I swear I remember being recc'd that

I should.

[vagrant fox]

It's Peter Jacksons second movie and then you should compare it to lotr

[daring creek]

im being hard read, help.

[winter pine]

I am fucking convinced she was in on it in some capacity

[outer wave]

It's weird to see right wingers beefing with child TV stars like Ms Rachel and Elmo

[vagrant fox]

I wonder what happened to that tiny chef show, that little muppet broke down live

[celest dome]

eh, possible, honestly just think they're sharks and ready to throw each other to the wolves

[celest dome]

The felt puppet one ?

[vagrant fox]

yea

Shorts, apparently

[daring creek]

im very glad his grave is being desiccated in this way.

a rightful end to a twat

also idk who miss rachel is but she looks very friendly

and he beefed w her?

she said something like love ur neighbor during pride month?

[storm jungle]

Tbh this is the same guy who literally says Mamdani is evil because muslims did 9/11

so like dont expect much morality logic lol

[vagrant fox]

True question is, pick up a new warhams novel or wait 2-3 days for the new Kriegslop 🤔

[misty vector]

she makes videos on youtube for little children, she has been getting a lot of hate from zionists bc of her public critique of israel and the huge amount of kids they kill

[daring creek]

Oh so just FLATOUT racist

guy knowingly made money of being racist anyway

actual plague on the world

[crisp heath]

both are the same slop

the outcome is the same

[storm jungle]

He is like extremely bad

go read the top section of his wikipage

its like an entire list lol

He's sexist, homophobic, racist, the entire trinity

[crisp heath]

I think it's easier to list the bad things he isn't (there are none)

So poetic how his last words were about gang violence before being popped by a republican white boy

[misty vector]

Crazy how no conservative wants to admit that gun control would have saved him

Like its so obvious

[vagrant fox]

Elemental Council might make me like Tauslop a little more tho

[crisp heath]

You don't understand
it's good when masked terrorists who kidnap american citizens but no GODDAMN LIBERAL should own one

they don't care how many children die as long as its not theirs

[vagrant fox]

The USA is too weird it's like hearing about the latest drama from a reality tv show

Then I remember people are suffering

[crisp heath]

Some times reading an article about US news is like reading something from a comic book

It's too comedically evil to think it's true yet it is

[misty vector]

Awful country

[storm jungle]

cant wait 💀

[crisp heath]

I wonder how the CIA Mexican Cartel arc gonna end

the Epstein Files arc has worse pacing than One Piece

[vagrant fox]

Like there's straight up sunday morning cartoon villains and people are on board like it's the joker and his goons what's happening

[storm jungle]

The cartel will do violence, get gunned down, declare mission accomplished, then another US backed powerful cartel will take over.

[storm jungle]

Dick Cheney is basically a cyberpunk vilain

and thats just 1 example

[drifting path]

Are all the Chaos Gods apart of the same faction/team?

[storm jungle]

Kinda

[vagrant fox]

Na they fight each other but kinda yes

[storm jungle]

they are on the same loose "team" but they also fight or work with each other depending on the plot

Its like America

"we're all in this together but we also kill eachother"

lol

[crisp heath]

wake up
sees one US news about someone going "oh well it is what it is" while defending the people on the files
sighs
rinse and continue

[crisp heath]

Yes but technically no

[vagrant fox]

They'll briefly gang up and then stab each other in the throat immediately

[crisp heath]

They all share the same goal but they fight between themselves to see who accomplishes it first basically

[vagrant fox]

Chaos uhh, is chaotic

[storm jungle]

its basically galactic dodgeball

[crisp heath]

Best possible example I can think of is the Iron Warriors bombarding the Word Bearers and all the other traitor legions and just going
"HAVE SOME FAITH, WORD BEARER"

[drifting path]

Are the Chaos Gods legitimately deities? Or like, just incredibly powerful beings?

[rocky gale]

Yes

[solid horizon]

theyre concepts I s'pose

[vagrant fox]

There was some horus heresy battle with the blood angels thing I don't care to remember where notorious feuders Slaanesh and Khorne ganged up even, for a bit

[crisp heath]

The Chaos Gods are kinda complex to explain tbh

[celest dome]

Depend on what you mean by legitimate deities

[storm jungle]

^

they are gods but thats an entirely human definition we apply to a lot of things

but they are legit powerful entities

[celest dome]

They didn't create the reality that Warhammer happen in

[storm jungle]

Yeah that too

[celest dome]

So they're not God god

They're just parasites

[vagrant fox]

I'd say for all intents and purposes they're gods, more not all powerful greek god style

[celest dome]

Feeding on realities as they have fun with them before moving to another one

[rocky gale]

Like they're Gods in the sense that they have within their domains near limitless powers and unfathomable abilities then yes, But if you're asking if they like created life, the universe and everything then no.

[crisp heath]

They allign heavily all the time it's just that they can't help themselves for too long before stabbing someone
it's like putting a crackhead in front of a crack-pipe and telling him to only use it after a set timer

[solid horizon]

what if I shoved daemonic servants of chaos gods into daemon engines against their will

[crisp heath]

he's not gonna last long trying to hold himself*

[celest dome]

The various mortal gods (Eldar, fantasy human...) are more like those

[solid horizon]

surely nothing wrong will happen to me

[drifting path]

Fascinating. If they're so immensely powerful, why haven't they won every front and conflict? I'm probably looking at this from an ignorant point of view. Is it just plot armor to keep Warhammer 40K going?

[storm jungle]

They infight

also they cant encroach on realspace

[celest dome]

They'll try to lash out if you're not good enough and able to stop that from happening.
Chaos Dwarf basically do that for Iron Deamons

[storm jungle]

but also yeah its plot armor lol

[crisp heath]

It will only have consequences if you're too much of a pussy

• Signed by the Iron Warriors

[vagrant fox]

True it's just more unless the barrier to the immaterium is thinned they can't do so much, unless they can sometimes

[storm jungle]

literally everyone in 40k self-sabotages themselves so the setting can remain in limbo

[rocky gale]

Yea they're gods that are essentially trapped inside another dimension

[celest dome]

Cause they're having fun

[solid horizon]

tbh I asked this fully aware of the context and consequences, considering vhostok pistonhand is my army's warpsmith

[celest dome]

Why destroy the setting when you can still play in it

[rocky gale]

Their powers creep through the cracks and they cause corruption and create vessels to do their will rather than you know showing up and doing anything themselves

[storm jungle]

Whos up pistoning their hand rn

[crisp heath]

Is it also safe to say the chaos gods don't really care that much?
They legit just do it for the love of the game rather than achieving some actual end even tho they seek to absolute conquer evberything

[solid horizon]

pistonhand isn't racist

[storm jungle]

They do. They wanna entirely conquer reality.

[crisp heath]

the misery they cause FROM trying to perceive that end is a higher high than the actual end

[vagrant fox]

One of many games, they've a lot to look at

[solid horizon]

he shoves every daemon into chaos engines regardless of which god they serve

[storm jungle]

Somewhat. They still want total domination beacuse they are greedy beings but also self-destructive.

Once Chaos destroys 40k it will move to another reality.

Its what they did in Warhammer Fantasy

[rocky gale]

Their infighting is known as the Great Game for a reason

[celest dome]

But one could consider that they're not going full on.
Like in fantasy before the End Time

[naive cliff]

They would prefer to beat each other than simply conquer real space

[crisp heath]

Yeah which is like what I believe in 40k, they have too much time and fun to just end it too soon

[storm jungle]

Kinda, again they dont really care that much

[drifting path]

Will there be any other Chaos Gods in the future? I mean, is that a legitimate possibility?

[naive cliff]

But real space is often the battle ground

[storm jungle]

Nah they very much just wanna take over. Its said by the daemons as such.

[storm jungle]

Possibly if GW wants

but the Big 4 are too iconic

[crisp heath]

[solid horizon]

bring back malal pls

[crisp heath]

There was supposed to be Malal but...

[solid horizon]

so they night lords and iron warrriors can have a god

[crisp heath]

copyright issues

[vagrant fox]

Yea when gw kills 40k some 80 years in the future probably

[crisp heath]

I would love it tbh
also Sons of Malice just standing still waiting to be used

[celest dome]

There are 8 Chaos Domains, 4 are claimed, 1 is going to be for the Emperor.
3 are free.
We will probably never see a new chaos faction imo as GW doesn't really need it to sell miniatures

[storm jungle]

Vashtorr prob in 10 years

which i dont mind, machines are cool

and he does machines like Donatello

[rocky gale]

Vashtorr the Arkilame is gonna ascend next

[vagrant fox]

Vashtorr boooo

[crisp heath]

beheading

[vagrant fox]

I can survive a beheading step up your game

[solid horizon]

im pretty sure vashtorr would agree with building androids again

vashtorr is my man

[rocky gale]

I'll never forgive GW for making me think it was going to be Sota Nul and then releasing that nerd Vashtorr

[drifting path]

How did the Chaos Gods come to be? Is there not some sorta all father? Did these Gods just wake up and begin to exist? The Chaos Gods sound really cool.

[storm jungle]

Basically from the effect of the war between the Old Ones, Orks, Crons and Eldar

its a whole thing

[vagrant fox]

I dangle lexicanum like a set of keys

[storm jungle]

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

[rocky gale]

They're essentially concepts brought into existence by the collective psychic energy of all living things

[vagrant fox]

Coalesced emotionsish tldr

[solid horizon]

just like cough real cough gods

[drifting path]

The lore is so deep. Lol. That's super neat.

[storm jungle]

what would Jesus do in this situation?

[rocky gale]

Bad emotions though like the Deadly sins. Wroth, Pride, Sloth and uhhhh being a Bird person.

[celest dome]

We don't really know how the Chaos Gods became to be that they are.
But they access realities when great enough striffe happen.
Old lore had humanity be noticed by the Chaos gods at different points:

• Nurgle Black Plague
• Khorne Think it was with the Hun hordes
  ...

[daring creek]

Kill himself like he did before

[celest dome]

Slaanesh is the only one we know when it happen

[vagrant fox]

Isn't the last one just being fruity

[solid horizon]

he will die and use ressurection protocols

[storm jungle]

man i gotta clean up the chaos gods page on the lexi

its so bad lmao

i never noticed

[crisp heath]

I am gonna be so for real I don't think he's doing much against the chaos gods

[daring creek]

slaanesh woke up one day and chose war

[vagrant fox]

Clean up the bad link I saw like 6 days ago as well

[crisp heath]

man is ending up like that eldar god trapped in nurgles garden

[storm jungle]

idk man he IS the chosen one

[celest dome]

I just keep from memories
I could try out this week end
Gotta dig deep for the sources

[rocky gale]

Yea the creation of the Chaos Gods is the tricky parts because they exist in the Warp, which doesn't have the same rules of time that the material plane does. So like the Chaos Gods all have unique points of time in the material plane when they are originally created but once they're created they then will have always existed.

[crisp heath]

so was Anakin look what happened to him

[daring creek]

what are his feats

[storm jungle]

yeah but Anakin and Jesus are different power levels....

[daring creek]

besides walking on water

[storm jungle]

Uhhh idk the wine thing

[crisp heath]

water into wine and bread into fish or something idk

[daring creek]

and turning water into wine

[storm jungle]

he can turn Abaddon into wine

[vagrant fox]

J-man is G-man so he wins ok ez pez

[crisp heath]

he walked on water too

[daring creek]

the water into wine thing is like

[crisp heath]

that was

pretty cool

[daring creek]

alocholism maxxing

[vagrant fox]

He talked to a burning bush and whipped bankers he has my vote

[crisp heath]

Jesus told me to gamble all my life savings on blackjack is true I heard him after drinking too many red wine

[solid horizon]

Jesus is a powerful psyker or idk

but also a necron

[crisp heath]

Yeah Anakin solos him tbh

the fuck is he gonna do against a lightsaber

[celest dome]

Does he get one of those Eldar Shuriken launcher but it is with those Communion launchers

[daring creek]

Yeah but he did it better

[crisp heath]

Walking on rain drops lowkey much crazier than on ocean

[solid horizon]

jesus really said

[drifting path]

So, Warhammer 40K takes place in our world pretty much then? Is Warhammer connected to Warhammer 40K on a timeline basis? Or, are they two separate entities that just share the same Warhammer name?

[daring creek]

My guy was FLYING

HIGH KEY

[rocky gale]

I heard someone who was telling me that the bread and fish thing wasn't actually a miracle, it was like a metaphor. Where like he didn't magically make more bread and fish, just when he started handing out what he had selflessly others in the crowd who had food but were keeping it secret for themselves also started sharing it until everyone was fed.

[crisp heath]

Titus lowkey has a better revive tech

[solid horizon]

yes but

[vagrant fox]

Remember when Jesus told Johnny Joestar to shoot a guy that was crazy

[celest dome]

Warhammer Fantasy is wholely separated from the 40k reality.
But the Chaos God are multiversal still, so they're the same but separate

[solid horizon]

you can have only one titus

[crisp heath]

Titus > Jesus

[storm jungle]

Highly suggest this video, kinda explains the whole thing

https://youtu.be/05YRMHWtv1Y

[solid horizon]

titus sucks

and you are a space chud

[crisp heath]

Aren't we all?

[solid horizon]

no

[daring creek]

titty

[solid horizon]

not me at least

[crisp heath]

warpsmith in the name

[solid horizon]

you said what ?

speak louder son

[crisp heath]

I have

the perfect gif for this but i cant send ithere

[solid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/nicholas-cage-funny-laughing-happy-gif-14538106

[daring creek]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

those things are the size of dogs

[drifting path]

I'll put it in the background while I work. Thank you!

[crisp heath]

wh... what was he gonna do to that iguana..

[rocky gale]

He deactivated it

[vagrant fox]

More or less our world
40k exists in a a flask in a wizards tower, in 40k Draigo sees it in the warp or something. They're jokingly connected and through the warp if you believe the white dwarf magazine

[storm jungle]

No problem 🫡

[wary fulcrum]

I went to a strong catholic school and that’s how our Chaplain taught it

[lament shoal]

Irl human history happens before the events of 30k and 40k yeah

[drifting path]

I see that now. It's interesting how the warp changed, causing humans to lose travel, leaving many people stranded without communication of the rest of the universe. It's kinda funny how humans immediately began a war at the first sight of aliens. Lol. Immediately aggression towards what we don't understand.

[vagrant fox]

Ever more papist nonsense smh

[lament shoal]

Never heard of that interpretation before but that is really interesting

[fervent geode]

In Methodist bible study once a peer tried to convince us God was a mathematical equation that gained sentience

[fervent geode]

So i'd buy this

[lament shoal]

It wasn't immediately actually. That happened largely because of the emperor. Prior to his rise to power, there were lots of worlds across the galaxy where humans coexisted with friendly alien races

The emperor pretty much exterminated every single friendly alien species out there

[drifting path]

I guess the Emperor claims to have been around since the dawn of human life? Is that true? Or, is he stroking his own ego?

[vagrant fox]

I've decided that the European religious wars didn't go far enough

[drifting path]

That's so sad.

[lament shoal]

Not the dawn of humanity, but he was born in the bronze age I think

[fervent geode]

He's been around since proto-Hittite times so almost

[fervent geode]

Feel free for a thirteenth crusade

[vagrant fox]

If he was born ~10k bc it was in the later stages of the stone age and advent of agriculture unless I misremember

And yet, such a goofy lad

[fervent geode]

Yeah iirc somewhere around there

[vagrant fox]

I was thinking 30 years war 2

[drifting path]

What I'm getting so far is that he's a human superiorist and an asshole.

[wary fulcrum]

He was a good egg, made a point of making sure that if we left as catholics, we knew why, and if we didn’t leave as catholics, we knew why, but so long as you helped people then he’d be happy

[lament shoal]

Yeah pretty much lol

[vagrant fox]

Low stakes conspiracy the emps got the local hunter gatherers to build Göbekli Tepe just to evilmax

[arctic talon]

lol

[vagrant fox]

I don't know the protestant in me says people must find no joy in life this dude sounds evil

[storm jungle]

Hes basically mega-hitler

[arctic talon]

Tbh the emperor always had something wrong with him mentally lol

Considering his reaction to his father getting murdered

[wary fulcrum]

See, catholics are alllwed to feel joy, but they must also feel guilty about it

[vagrant fox]

Well he was apparently friends with Eldrad to some degree
Then he decided to conquer the galaxy

[lament shoal]

The murdered father to fascist super-dictator pipeline is insane

[arctic talon]

Tbh killing his uncle, reasonable crash out

[lament shoal]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

The shit he came up with afterwards?

Hell no LOL

[lament shoal]

After that though it gets goofy

[storm jungle]

to quite Sigsen

His literal first thought after killing his uncle in revenge was mankind should be led by fascism and genocide

so lmao

[vagrant fox]

Paraphrasing ☝️ 🤓

[daring creek]

woke up and chose evil

[vagrant fox]

I wish he wasn't depicted as such a fool in the horusheresy but it's also kind of apt

[daring creek]

its hard to agree with the emperor on anything frankly

hard not to see the guy like a fucking idiot either

[drifting path]

That was a good listen. I learned a whole lot. Like it sucks ass to be a human in Warhammer 40K.

[heady rivet]

Mirrors his son killing his brother, him killing the son in revenge. Fire writing

[daring creek]

why did he let a legion named blood angels exist

ANGELS

[arctic talon]

Don’t worry it can get worse 💀

[storm jungle]

Dont worry it gets worse

💀

[arctic talon]

There’s worse things then living under the imperium

[daring creek]

yeah like paying taxes

[lament shoal]

Pretty high bar tho tbh

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spike-machine-meat-grinder-accident-spongebob-gif-973398806513596928

[young pecan]

The IRS uses shotguns and metal-maimed dogs in 40k

[arctic talon]

Most humane drukhari torture device

[vagrant fox]

Ideally, to me, he'd have a consistent behaviour and logic but wholly disagreeable qnd evil or the end justifies galactic genocide thing
But then people would glaze him harder probably

[arctic talon]

The IRS uses special shotgun ammo designed to kill you as much as possible

lol

[lament shoal]

Grimdark MS-13 owns a city's means of industrial production and uses slave labor

[arctic talon]

Also they have heavy machine guns and grenade launchers

[daring creek]

dont the arbites have heat seeking rounds

[arctic talon]

That’s my necromunda gang

Smh

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[daring creek]

pretty sure the exterminator shotgun does that

[arctic talon]

Executioner rounds

💀

[uncut edge]

looks at him beaming up angron when he was about to fight with his men and women

[arctic talon]

Called so because they go for the head

[uncut edge]

He did angron so dirty

[vagrant fox]

I quite like how the dregs of society is depicted in The Apostle it's bad in the Imperium

[heady rivet]

Strictly speaking, thats every shotgun really

[arctic talon]

I sentence you to amputator rounds

Fucking hilarious how those are a thing

Bullet designed to blow your limbs off

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

man im glad cops arent like this IRL

[lament shoal]

Arbitrators are an ice agent's wet dream

[young pecan]

That sure would suck wouldn't it hahahahahaha

ha

[uncut edge]

Their power fantasy

[vagrant fox]

Cruelmaxing Imperium is so peak
More orphan crushing machines please

[arctic talon]

oh yeah @storm jungle did you see the flamer ammo that causes nerve damage instead of burning you alive lol

in Imperium Maledictum

[fervent geode]

All Cerastes had to do was dangle some hope and point out the hypocrisy they were all singing chaos hymns

[storm jungle]

BRUH WHAT

[arctic talon]

Yet another Mechanicus W

[fervent geode]

Based

[vagrant fox]

A little bit of food and something to believe in
It's really quite funny

[arctic talon]

THE OOZE

[fervent geode]

Blud did a better job than the Imperium in like 3 days

[lament shoal]

Can't forget that some of the non imperial guys have some pretty fucked up shit too lmao

[arctic talon]

Also there's the admech ammo that intentionally gives people radiation poisoning if they load it into a non mechanicus gun

[arctic talon]

GSC have the sniper that gives you the kiss lol

[fervent geode]

Daemon Engines

[lament shoal]

That's messed up but also really cool lol

[arctic talon]

thank you adeptus mechanicus

[drifting path]

It feels like all the Emperor did was bring humans back into contact with each other, and made everything else completely worse. Like humans are racist now, and the rest of the universe has learned that humans should be killed on sight since we're super xenophobic; we can't even seem to get along with each other since there's so much infighting. Thanks, Emperor. Very cool of you.

[fervent geode]

Some false God innit

[arctic talon]

Look on the upside he also gave the chaos gods their strongest servents in real space

wait

my bad I meant to say downside

the Emperor managed to unify humanity

he also managed to fuck everything else up though lol

[heady rivet]

So just to clarify, ON THE UPSIDE, had the Imperium not existed the galaxy would be Orks and Nids fighting forever. Like how if horses were carnivores the world would just be horses running around eating each other

[arctic talon]

egg bomb

[vagrant fox]

Well humans had been fighting themselves for 30k years probably, likely

[fervent geode]

True, and the constant suffering of the Imperium does feed the true gods

[heady rivet]

Brother you cant even sneeze without powering up like 3 Chaos gods a little

[lament shoal]

Oh yeah I think these are in rogue trader as well

[arctic talon]

yeah

[drifting path]

I know absolutely less than nothing about the Orks right now. 😬 I've seen memes talking about how Orks just like, think things into literal existence? Seems like a very overwhelming place to have started.

[arctic talon]

they're from the 7e admech codex

[arctic talon]

Orks can't think things into existence, its more of a reality lube if that makes sense?

it makes their shitty tech work better

[drifting path]

No. It don't make any sense.

[fervent geode]

Its much more tasty when ur starving and being tortured by enforcers whilst sneezing

[arctic talon]

Okay lets say for example an Ork makes a gun, this is an awful gun, but due to the WAAAAAGH field it is now a normally functioning gun

the WAAAAAGH field lubes the wheels of reality to make things go in the Orks favor

[drifting path]

Ah yes, that makes sense now.

[fervent geode]

He believes it works strongly enough that it does as intended

[arctic talon]

^

If the Ork belives the gun is also a piece of crap

the WAAAAGH field won't work

but if he thinks its a decent gun that can shoot good, it shoot good

which lead to bad ork guns being decent guns in practice

and good ork guns being terrifying death spitters

[lament shoal]

https://youtu.be/KY0nzCIceOw?si=CQDgw0gMylLANmGC one of my favorite videos

[lament shoal]

That one warboss who invented a gun that could insta kill space marines 💀

[vagrant fox]

But not to the point where space marines or guardsmen make pew pew noises and it kills the orks or however far the story has been twisted now

[arctic talon]

average grot shoota

[vagrant fox]

That's a doohicky

[arctic talon]

it works

btw

[lament shoal]

The contraption

[arctic talon]

that thing actually shoots

[fervent geode]

Basically it needs to have a believable premise from what i understand, you need a bad gun to shoot not a stick

[arctic talon]

give it to an Ork and it will be an actual proper functioniing gun

[vagrant fox]

I like the tactical flashlight

[arctic talon]

bit small for an Ork so actually a Grot

[fervent geode]

Give it to a Guardsman it falls apart

[drifting path]

So, Orks and Tyranids are the most problematic factions in the universe? I figured it'd be Chaos and the Necrons.

[arctic talon]

They're the most prelevant issue

if that makes sense

Necrons stick to themselves

[vagrant fox]

By sheer mass

[arctic talon]

Chaos is a big issue as well

but there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many Orks

[fervent geode]

Primordial Annihilator and all

[lament shoal]

Necrons aren't really going on major death crusades like the other factions are

[fervent geode]

But the orks are uh

[vagrant fox]

Chaos ripped the galaxy a new one tho

[arctic talon]

like holy shit there are SOOOOOOOO MANY

[fervent geode]

Endless war fungus

[arctic talon]

Nids are an endless issue coming from outside the galaxy

but the Orks are an endless issue inside the galaxy

[drifting path]

So, are there more Orks than any other race?

[fervent geode]

Well uh yeah the bleeding tear in the sky

[lament shoal]

The only reason why orks haven't taken over the galaxy yet is because they can't stop killing each other lmfao

[drifting path]

Are the Necrons peaceful if they're not out to kill everything in sight?

[fervent geode]

Probably

[fervent geode]

Well no

[vagrant fox]

Tossup between orks and nids

[arctic talon]

No because they're super racist

like more racist then the Imperium

[fervent geode]

They believe the whole galaxy is part of their Infinite Empire

[arctic talon]

and the Eldar

[drifting path]

Oh, that's sad.

[arctic talon]

but they're not genocidal

[fervent geode]

They are just awakening

[arctic talon]

they'll just enslave ya instead

because they need slaves to rule over

[fervent geode]

Thats the progressive ones

[arctic talon]

Yeah

Some of them just kill you

[fervent geode]

Sautekh just kill everyone iirc

Yeah

[arctic talon]

nah

[vagrant fox]

Everyone is evil and it rules

[arctic talon]

Sautekh ensalves them

[lament shoal]

They're not peaceful, but their goal is to reassert their dominance over the galaxy as opposed to exterminating all other life. They view the other factions as insects who are good for nothing but serving them

[arctic talon]

Immotekh orders it rather

[drifting path]

Bro, why does everyone just suck ass in Warhammer 40K? 😂

[fervent geode]

Oh damn

[vagrant fox]

Grimdark innit

[arctic talon]

because GRIMDARK

jokes aside Games workshop wanted to make the unvierse insanely bleak

and yeah Grimdark as a word is spawned from 40k despite the first edition of 40k not being that grimdark

[fervent geode]

Grim darkness

[arctic talon]

anyways this is a map of all major Ork Waaaaghs!

[vagrant fox]

It's bad and it sucks for everyone unless you're a 1% then it sucks a bit less

[arctic talon]

let me find the grape excerpt

lmao

[drifting path]

For a brief moment, I feel like someone is cool, then it turns out they're the reincarnation of Satan and Hitler and want to be on every offender list they can possibly be on.

[fervent geode]

Big green

At least Lorgar did nothing wrong

/jk

[lament shoal]

He had a reasonable crashout but it was ultimately misguided

Cuz

[vagrant fox]

Just do as the Tau ethereals and you too can become domesticated and at least have a shower

[lament shoal]

He sided with chaos

[fervent geode]

Well he wanted the truth and all

Sucks that well

Its kinda them

[lament shoal]

Yeah lol

[fervent geode]

It is what it is

[vagrant fox]

Or surrender to Khorne and enjoy not thinking again that's a good one

[storm jungle]

If you want a Warhammer setting where people can actually work together and beat the shit out of Chaos id also highly suggest Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar

[fervent geode]

Seraphon very cool

[storm jungle]

They also got grimdark problems but the humans in them arent nazi germany

[languid meadow]

I was exposed to a yt short but it was about the 500 worlds shit so I didn't care

but learning that a necron used their arrow to smite a dreadnaught is fucking hilarious

[fervent geode]

Tachyon arrow go brrr

[lament shoal]

TOTAL SKAVEN DEATH

[fervent geode]

They destroyed a titan with one

[outer wave]

At least factions are actually capable of working with each other and arent just like "YOU'RE X AND I MUST KILL YOU!!!"

[languid meadow]

yeah crazy ass weapon with one use (for most of them) still hilarious she used it to smite a dreaddy

[arctic talon]

Behold the Luxury of the 1% on Holy Terra

Indeed yes

Tachyon Agrow

[arctic talon]

it was one of the reloadable types bcs the Overlord has another one later

lol

[fervent geode]

Luxury raisin

[arctic talon]

still comically overkill

[lament shoal]

You get used to it don't worry

[drifting path]

Is there any Warhammer 40K media that displays conflicts between factions that excludes humans? Perhaps something between Orks and Tyranids? I understand that humans are the main focus.

[vagrant fox]

Balding at 18 from malnourishment and carrying 8 withered grapes worth more than dozens of generations of your family
The Imperium is so cool

[storm jungle]

KINDA

its like super rare because GW constantly wants to focus on the Imperium as protagonist

you actually asked a excellent question lol

[lament shoal]

Pretty much all the factions have been/actively are at war with each other

[vagrant fox]

Octarius War was a thing for a bit but afaik not in much focus

[storm jungle]

Media-wise.

[lament shoal]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

Everyone fights everyone offscreen

[drifting path]

I mean, at least she's not a solider or whatever. Like the Death Korps. Seems like she's got a Gucci life.

[storm jungle]

its not really the same thing

[arctic talon]

Yes, but its rulebook lore

Warzone Octarius was entierly Orks vs Tyranids in 9e

until book 2

there was also Warzone Valedor

in 7e

[vagrant fox]

Valedor remains supreme it's true

[arctic talon]

Which was Eldar VS Tyranids

there's also the novel Valedor

[storm jungle]

30 years of lore and we can maybe give like 9 examples

[arctic talon]

which is Eldar vs Tyranids

Yeah 💀

GW almost always has the Imperium in stuff for one reason or another

[lament shoal]

I do like how the setting lore is structured in a way that allows faction infighting on the tabletop game, cuz they could literally be fighting for ANY reason

[arctic talon]

Maelstorm will have the Imperium in it for a tiny bit

is my bet tbh

With the bulk of it being Chaos and CWE

[drifting path]

Damn. That's too bad. I would have liked a book of some kind. Stupid humans taking up all the spotlight.

[arctic talon]

Read Valedor

[vagrant fox]

And Yriel will win

[arctic talon]

this one

[lament shoal]

There are really good xenos focused novels

[arctic talon]

I NEED YIREL TO WIN

[lament shoal]

The ork ones come to mind

[arctic talon]

SOMEONE FUCKING GET A WIN AGAINST CHAOS IN A CAMPAIGN BOOK

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCKS SAKE

[drifting path]

Is this canon?

[arctic talon]

Yes

all 40k novels aside from a few are canon

[lament shoal]

But don't shy away from the imperium ones tho, because they do have good ones despite being the poster child faction of the setting

[arctic talon]

which are Farseer(lore contraditcion)
Space Marine by Ian Watson
Inqusitor trilogy by Ian Watson
The Dawn of War stuff by CS GOto

[drifting path]

I'll have to put it on my list to read.

[arctic talon]

I think I'm missing one shit

uhhhhhhh

[lament shoal]

Necromunda lore is very fun

[arctic talon]

Pawns of Chaos

[drifting path]

Someone explained to me earlier that the Necrons and Necromunda are two different entities. Lol.

[arctic talon]

yeah

[lament shoal]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

ignore the similar names LOL

[fervent geode]

Necromunda is an imperial planet

[vagrant fox]

Species vs planet yea

[fervent geode]

Home to a very cool TT game

[vagrant fox]

Necro- is just a cool prefix

[fervent geode]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

God i cant do this man

[lament shoal]

Necromunda has some of the best looking models in the setting imo

[storm jungle]

LET

THEM

COOK

[vagrant fox]

Those shits have tkd me like 3 times over 2 days

[arctic talon]

Palanites are made for space marine only people who want to get into necromunda
/hj

[drifting path]

Are there any Chapters that are exterminated? I don't really know if that's the right phrasing. Ceasing to exist, I mean.

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[fervent geode]

Many

[lament shoal]

Plenty

For various reasons

[arctic talon]

there's quite a lot who have gone extinct

the Imperium just replaces them

[fervent geode]

Got themselves killed

Got trvthed

[storm jungle]

Chapters are basically like travelling special forces knights.

Some live on, some go extinct, some exist in obscurity etc

they pick their operations so their existence is entirely dependant on their actions

I could too

[arctic talon]

Tbh Vandoth is very cool lol

[fervent geode]

Blood Angel Angels of Death Kill Team
But all Vandoths

[arctic talon]

Good image

[rose thorn]

seen people use him in chaos outcasts gangs and write it as like a csm leading a band of cultists

[arctic talon]

fun

vandoth honestly is kind of mid as fuck lol

he's not bad but like

[fervent geode]

Nice

[arctic talon]

ehhhhhhhh

rather not

[storm jungle]

Id literally give my legs to make sure 40k has the Chaos Champions / Chaos Warriors dynamic like WHF and AOS

[arctic talon]

tbh I wish they kept Vandoth slightly more ambiguous

but its so fucking funny lol

[storm jungle]

its so fuckin gboring that CSM lead everything in 40k

[arctic talon]

that he's just deadass some blood angel

who got left behind

[storm jungle]

and theres ZERO powerful mortal chaos champions

fucking dumbass marketing and writers

[arctic talon]

There's some in the Chaos Daemons codex

but thats it

they're all ascended princes

[storm jungle]

Daemons dont matter, they arent mortals

[arctic talon]

so ehhhh

[heady rivet]

Tabletop war game written to justidy everyone fighting everyone including themselves

[vagrant fox]

I love them but more variety would be welcome

[storm jungle]

Im talking like Festus, Vilich, etc

[arctic talon]

yeah I would like that

[fervent geode]

I liked that one uh

Mephidast

From the Officio Medicae

[storm jungle]

Yeah most exist in books and literally nobody knows about em

[fervent geode]

We need more non CSM chaos champs

Defo

[storm jungle]

you got people like Lotara Sarrin whos basically a ship kitchen maid lol

[arctic talon]

like Vandoth's art is pretty like ambiguous

this is just a space marine lol

[storm jungle]

Im just venting tbh, its never happening

[arctic talon]

she just is the ship 💀

now

[fervent geode]

More Lost and Damned at least

[arctic talon]

but yeah she's not a good example at all

imo

[storm jungle]

yeah still lame

[arctic talon]

it might happen someday

maybe

in like 10 years from now

💀

[storm jungle]

Like we got another mortal chaos character

[fervent geode]

I need more humie traitors

[storm jungle]

and shes again a fucking ship captain kitchen lady lol

[lament shoal]

They should just make the chaos champion models from aos be available for 40k tabletop use as well, with some alternative weapon and armor choices to fit 40k, like they do with the mutalith vortex beast model

[arctic talon]

I'm more so referring to getting a Chaos mortals codex

lol

[fervent geode]

Lotara 2

[storm jungle]

Absolutely yeah

[arctic talon]

Tbh

I see people use the blightlords a lot

in Death Guard

[storm jungle]

like its realistically not possible for ther eto be powerful human champions that CSM would follow or go into battle with etc

[fervent geode]

Honestly just say its denizens of the eye

[arctic talon]

er not blightlords

[lament shoal]

They'd make for nice additions to cultist armies

[arctic talon]

wtf are they called

[fervent geode]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

Yeah like a cool thing in WHF/AOS is people see Chaos Warriors as like a CSM tier threat

but they also can follow mortal lords

[drifting path]

What's a Chaos Champion? A Chaos Space Marine?

[arctic talon]

these ones

[fervent geode]

I think Urlock Gaur had World Eater under him whilst he was a mortal

[arctic talon]

A chaos champion is a WHFB and AoS thing more so then 40k, but a Chaos Champion refers to someone who is extremely powerful and blessed by Chaos

[storm jungle]

the term im using is for human chaos champions basically highly favored powerful influential people who worship chaos that are like 1 man armies

[fervent geode]

Someone blessed and chosen by the chaos gods

In 40k that's mainly CSM

[vagrant fox]

Didn't Blood Pact have some csm in its ranks or do I misremember

[fervent geode]

Yeah they did

[arctic talon]

Chaos chosen in Age of Sigmar have drip™

[fervent geode]

World Eaters

[fervent geode]

Indeed fr

[arctic talon]

we barely have any non marine chaos champions in 40k

[fervent geode]

Mephidast uhhh, that one khorne guy and uh

Ingethel?? Idk

[storm jungle]

Ingethel is so funny

[vagrant fox]

Lad at the bottom is pure aura

[storm jungle]

literally exists for like 1 book and disappears

[fervent geode]

She appears in Aurelian too so uh

Two books ig

[arctic talon]

tbh the varanguard are like

genuinely my favorite Chaos mini GW has ever done

[fervent geode]

Understandable

[lament shoal]

Hmm maybe I should kitbash this someday

Sounds fun

[vagrant fox]

What about the chad 1994 chaos warrior smh 👎

[storm jungle]

its funny when you know Chaos Warriors are literally the dad-progenitors of Chaos Marines lol

[fervent geode]

Yeah defo

[arctic talon]

Chaos Warriors are the OG father of the space marine aesthetic

lol

[fervent geode]

The original CSM were kitbashed from their kits iirc

Lmao

[storm jungle]

Not kitbashed but entirely inspired

its in the design notebook text

[arctic talon]

yeah

[vagrant fox]

The chaos warriors in the Mark of Chaos trailer still mog most sm it's true

[storm jungle]

like the notes for Goodwin literally say "just do Chaos Warriors but SPAAAACE"

[fervent geode]

yeap

[arctic talon]

tbh

I'm glad CSM sorta developed past the "CHAOS WARRIORS IN SPAAAAAAAACE" aesthetic they had in 1e and 2e

it makes them stand out a little more

[storm jungle]

Anyway i do like CSM, its more that i wish Lost and the Damned got any sort of attention.

[arctic talon]

then having the literal chaos warrior helms

which are cool

[fervent geode]

True

[arctic talon]

don't get me wrong

[storm jungle]

Its kinda crazy how shit like the Moebian 6th were the most exposure traitor guard had in 20 YEARS

[arctic talon]

But it was a bit odd back in the day LOL

[arctic talon]

you forgot killteam smh

the Blooded mogged the Marines

[fervent geode]

Agreed, i want a chaos leman russ back

[storm jungle]

That came and went tbh

[arctic talon]

the Moebian 6th got staying power

lol
