Omar's soul is stuck in it

well

his soul is stuck in the bug

[opaque coyote]

Are those mini canisters

[vagrant fox]

oh right my boy omar

three worm guns, maybe too many

[arctic talon]

his current state

he's having a good time

[heady rivet]

[arctic talon]

as far as having his soul trapped in a block of amber

with a bug in it

[opaque coyote]

I mean

At least the bullet like canisters mean he's being fed?

[arctic talon]

its an HMG modified to shoot auto cannon rounds

[opaque coyote]

Oh

I thought those were like

[arctic talon]

coated in a pyrotoxin

[opaque coyote]

Canisters to feed the bug inside the gun

[arctic talon]

Omar doesn't need to eat

he's dead

💀

[opaque coyote]

Hey

[arctic talon]

He got fucking skinned alive

[opaque coyote]

Don't assume that

[arctic talon]

with his own knives

and his soul was torn out his body

[opaque coyote]

That makes you very hungry

Clearly

[opaque coyote]

Doubly so

[vagrant fox]

kill big worm

worm becomes gun

Destiny is a little strange

[opaque coyote]

If only Bungie didn't fuck up

[arctic talon]

they're real nice knives

[urban spire]

it's literally sword logic

[arctic talon]

Bungie's lore is still good

the monitization of the game is ass

but I still like the lore

and yeah Sword Logic is a funny thing

[opaque coyote]

My favorite video game trope

[heady rivet]

I swear to god I hear Judge at 28 seconds in. The "Enough of this"

[opaque coyote]

Kill boss

Boss becomes weapon

[vagrant fox]

I do like that Xol decided the guardian is very good at killing so lets help the guardian and feed upon the killing

[opaque coyote]

Perfect

[opaque coyote]

"Hmm I like murder. You're good at it also."

transforms into a gun

[heady rivet]

Oh hey that user deleted their account for being a pedophile apologist

[opaque coyote]

HUH

[vagrant fox]

many such cases

[opaque coyote]

WHAT THE FUCK

I did not expect to hear that

[urban spire]

guh

[opaque coyote]

At least

Today

[heady rivet]

Insuggestforcefem deleted their account (and came back) after making a series of posts saying that the LGBT community has to support pedophiles

[vagrant fox]

Not my kind of knife but hey

I miss 5 minutes ago

[arctic talon]

Remember

[opaque coyote]

When I didn't know that

[arctic talon]

the hive are happy when you fucking blow their heads off

So go show them some love

[vagrant fox]

This is why I don't explore outside of my social media bubble

[arctic talon]

truth nuke

[opaque coyote]

I always find fictional masochism funny as fuck

[heady rivet]

Gets worse, they are super transphobic towards transmen

[opaque coyote]

Bruh

They're literally PART OF THE SAME GROUP

also "Dredgen" Bael having the worst mommy issues known to ever exist and thats why he's a genocidal asshole is hilarious

10/10 character tbh

[heady rivet]

[urban spire]

lotta people got meru emotes

[vagrant fox]

My titan was the infant slayer

[arctic talon]

tbh you literally kill newborn thrall a lot of the time lol

doesn't really matter ultimately

[crisp heath]

Last thing a cadian sees after trying to fight a Slaneesh cultist

[arctic talon]

its you or them 💀

and its not like the hive are a culture conductive to the concept of peace

or mercy

[heady rivet]

[vagrant fox]

Continued pervert behaviour

[urban spire]

i got nothing against it i'm just surprised

[heady rivet]

[heady rivet]

Okay but

[vagrant fox]

There was that one witch, out of however many billions

[lament shoal]

My hive scum ass rogue trader

[heady rivet]

The server its from is SFW

[urban spire]

meru definitely isn't lmao

[arctic talon]

Luzaku and some other breakaway hive are conductive to the idea but they can only do it because they are not hive anymore biologically. Hive Lightbearers are Krill again

[vagrant fox]

Sfw can be pervert

[arctic talon]

Just bulked up on roids The Light

[heady rivet]

No idea what you're talking about

You sound INSANE

[urban spire]

listen i have nothing against perverts, perverts are my people

[arctic talon]

Kind of a sad symbiotic existence aside from the Lucent hive

who get to feed on the light of Hive Lightbearers

[urban spire]

nothing unmoors you from the shackles of social expectations like transing your gender let me tell you

there's a reason we're all some flavour of communist or anarchist

[arctic talon]

untrue

[drifting path]

Have we ever seen someone from a race leave their kind (willingly), without some form of control, go into a different race? Without being killed? Like a human assisting the Orks?

[arctic talon]

HUman assisting Orks no

Humans defecting to the Tau yes

Eldar sometimes become Drukhari

[drifting path]

Do the Tau greet them with open arms?

[lament shoal]

Tau recruits races from all over

[vagrant fox]

So you're saying I can pull off a Hiraks

[arctic talon]

and Drukhari sometimes become Craftworld Eldars or Corsairs

[urban spire]

there's gorkamorka

[arctic talon]

Yes, after first making sure they're not double agents

[arctic talon]

Gorkamorka orks only accepted humans because the Necrons would have killed them all otherwise for killing humans

[arctic talon]

but yeah Digganobz are a thng

on one specific planet

also some humans work as Drukhari mercenaries

but that isn't really defection/becoming part of drukhari society

[drifting path]

What? Why would the Necrons kill Orks over killing humans?

[arctic talon]

its becoming one of the many mercenary client races

[arctic talon]

We do not know, GorkaMorka is really weird

and that bit is intentionally left mysterious

GorkaMorka is like mad max with orks

mostly

[drifting path]

Who's GorkaMorka? Gods, what a goofy name.

[rocky gale]

It's a planet

[drifting path]

Oh shit. That sounds cool!

[lament shoal]

I wonder if that's where speed freeks takes place lol

[vagrant fox]

Gork & Mork are ork gods, Gorkamorka is a planet

[arctic talon]

not enough necron shit around

[crisp heath]

[crisp heath]

do they ever like appear and talk like the chaos gods

[heady rivet]

[lament shoal]

They talk to Ghaz

[arctic talon]

gorka morka is fun

[rocky gale]

Basically Orks crash on Imperial planet, build ship to be able to leave, then when it's complete they get into an argument whether the ship looks like their god Gork or their god Mork and end up having a civil war.

[heady rivet]

Digganobz next class

[drifting path]

That's awesome!

[arctic talon]

Digganobz

[rocky gale]

Then eventually they decide it looks like both Gork and Mork and name it Gorkamorka and are ready to leave on the ship, then the Gretchins rebel demanding equal rights

[lament shoal]

DA RED GOBBO

[rocky gale]

So uh they basically never leave, things keep coming up and they just keep fighting over something else

[urban spire]

critical support for the gretchins

[heady rivet]

[drifting path]

I'll have to look into GorkaMorka in the future once I understand the Orks better!

[arctic talon]

Its very old and unfortunately

very dead

[rocky gale]

Yea not every Warhammer project gets supported forever

[heady rivet]

[rocky gale]

Like Necromunda is probably gonna get dropped in a year or two

Put out to pasture

[arctic talon]

it won't

[urban spire]

no way

[arctic talon]

Its still getting new content lol

[heady rivet]

Dont even joke lad

[vagrant fox]

It's true

[rocky gale]

Dead game

[arctic talon]

you're actually delusional if you think that

[vagrant fox]

I have insider information

It's true

[heady rivet]

Bait used to be believable

[arctic talon]

this is true delulu

[rocky gale]

Time to push something else buddy

[urban spire]

from inside what, your ass?

[arctic talon]

James Wokeshops ass

[heady rivet]

Nu

[arctic talon]

I'm just typing shit now

god

[vagrant fox]

Mine brain

[rocky gale]

Pin that on the fridge

Shame you didn't say James Wokeslop

[heady rivet]

Gaymes Wokeslop

[vagrant fox]

In your defence we're all typing here

[arctic talon]

I'm staring at monster hunter concept art on another screen

what am I doing with my time 💀

this is actually some insane levels of procrastination

[vagrant fox]

I procrastinated the whole day didn't even try to learn one bit of coding
That's just Wednesdays

[drifting path]

I don't wanna get back to work, so I'm procrastinating with Warhammer 40k lore. Lol. Worth it.

[vagrant fox]

I wanna read a book now but there's a new one out in two and some days

I gotta be patient for my slop

[urban spire]

what is it?

[vagrant fox]

New Krieg novel by the guy who isn't Steve Lyons

[drifting path]

Is the Death Korps of Krieg actually effective at what they do? It seems like a waste of resources to throw bodies at a problem.

[heady rivet]

Okay so the Kriegers get a bad wrap in memes. Kriegers are amazing siege-breakers. They're late WW1, memes paint them as suicidal early WW1

[heady rivet]

And also their most fleshed-out campaign was a shitshow, so they get a bad wrap doubly so

[vagrant fox]

Yeah they're good at their job, all the big name guard regiments are

[drifting path]

Are they as "glory in death!" seeking as the community makes them out to be?

[heady rivet]

Kriegers have a Catholic-level of guilt for their planet rebelling in the past. So they see it as penance, but they arent wasting their lives pointlessly, thats heresy

[languid meadow]

No not really, they're just more willingly to die to complete and objective but yeah like pusher said if it's pointless they wont do it

that's why they retreated a lot in vraks (on top of morale breaking)

no point in throwing yourself at an entrenched enemy over and over again if it isn't working

[drifting path]

Do they have a named commissar or someone at the tip of the spear?

[languid meadow]

pretty sure all of their named characters are dead or just minor characters

90% of them don't really have names or use them

[vagrant fox]

To paraphrase the vraks novel they'll eagerly give their lives but not pointlessly, if it achieves something they've made a small bit of progress to redeeming Krieg

[heady rivet]

It varies on whose writing but I think the general unnofficial rule is enlisted have just their service number and officers get names

[languid meadow]

I over inflated the enlisted numbers but yea

if you hear a krieger be named they're most likely an officer or it's a PoV of a trooper then their name will be used for like narration

[arctic talon]

No, they’ve gotten 2 named character minis ever

Both are marshals

[languid meadow]

on brand

really

[arctic talon]

One was forgeworld

The other is GW

[vagrant fox]

There's a lot of Jürgens for historical reasons, Varnan Dreir is a cool guy

[arctic talon]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/3/35/VarnanDreirandMountMIni.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20260202145758

The Lord marshal himself

[drifting path]

What'd they do exactly to deserve such shitty fronts? Was it like the Hoarse Heresy or something? I'm slowly learning about the Heresy.

[arctic talon]

No, they just self punish themselves for the fact the world was tired of being under imperial rule

So a majority of it rebelled

Then the imperial loyalists nuked the whole world to shit

And slowly killed all the surviving traitors

[languid meadow]

the funny part is that the imperium just didn't gaf because of bureaucracy

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[uncut edge]

Krieg and dark angels are the kings of feeling the need to repent

[arctic talon]

The imperium literally did not give a shit

[languid meadow]

until the loyalists made contact again

[heady rivet]

They ask for it!

[arctic talon]

That Krieg rebelled

They could have joined back into the fold and continued as usual

[uncut edge]

Only people that care are the Krieg

[arctic talon]

Yeeeeeep lol

[uncut edge]

The dark angels have the same vibe imo

[heady rivet]

Imperium was like "Okay cool, so about that tithe" and Krieg was like "GIVE ME STRONGER BATTLES"

[uncut edge]

Like okay half your chapter fell 10k years ago

And only they know about it really

[drifting path]

Gods. How long ago was that? I assume they're paying for the sins of their fathers?

[heady rivet]

Even Guilliman is like "Bro everyone had it happen get over it"

[arctic talon]

A thousand years ago?

[languid meadow]

I love how Krieg was a hive world but also labeled as "beautiful"

[arctic talon]

Or 2 thousand?

[languid meadow]

like make up your mind bro

[arctic talon]

Well it was a paradise world then hive world

lol

[drifting path]

Bruh. That's crazy.

[arctic talon]

Then it got nuked to shit

And it’s now a death world

[uncut edge]

Try sins of their great great great great great great great great great great grandfather’s cousin. Not everybody rebelled

Only like, half the planet did

[heady rivet]

I figured the hives were kept tidy with green spaces like Hive Secundus

[arctic talon]

It was a majority of the planet

But yeah

💀

[uncut edge]

Oh was it?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[vagrant fox]

The rebellion was like early m40 however long ago that was

[heady rivet]

Juergen held the one loyal hive

[uncut edge]

I thought it was a schism rather than a majority take over

[arctic talon]

No

[uncut edge]

The point stands

[arctic talon]

The government and most of the people decidee living under the imperium sucked

[vagrant fox]

One hive remained loyal, Ferrograd or whatever

[arctic talon]

lol

[heady rivet]

The ruling council rebelled and Juergen nuked the whole fuckin planet

[languid meadow]

the civil war was 500 years long and they rejoined in 949.M40

[uncut edge]

Then you look at necromunda which has had “three great pacifications” and they don’t give a fuck

[drifting path]

How do they even have so many bodies if they faced a nuclear holocaust? Is it a hive world?

[heady rivet]

Greatest planet of all...

[languid meadow]

it was

[arctic talon]

They have a lot of kids and the vitae womb(weird vat growing)

[heady rivet]

The recruitment rate is near to 1:1, and all the cities are basically underground fortress-hives

[arctic talon]

^

[uncut edge]

I love the adeptus ridiculous episodes about it

[heady rivet]

Oh yeah and vat babies

[drifting path]

They're lab grown? In vats?

[heady rivet]

Plus the average Krieger is like, in his teens when they ship em off

[arctic talon]

Whatever the vitae womb is, it isn’t normal vat growing

[languid meadow]

Krieg went from a minor paradise then hive world to a very important death world lol kind of ironic

[heady rivet]

Its a little vague what the vitae-womb is but the implication is vatgrown beaker babies

[arctic talon]

Yeah they’re grown from sperm and eggs in an artificial womb

Probably

If it resembles mechanicus vat growing

[vagrant fox]

Is it in the Vraks novel where it says they're like 14-16 when they ship out

[storm jungle]

You basically drop your genetic data inside it as parents and it vomits out mass-produced kids

[uncut edge]

To be fair to most other hive worlds, when you have billions of people those billions of people are gonna be doing a lotta fucking leading to even more people. But yes Krieg specifically has weird lab people lore. I believe it’s said the #1 pastime in the imperium is having sex

[arctic talon]

Tbf

Not much else to do

💀

[uncut edge]

Exactly

[heady rivet]

The surface of Krieg is basically WW1 no-mans land, forever. So naturally they train in it

[languid meadow]

it also makes sense since EVERY person of Krieg is dedicated to war, why waste time doing anything else when da tube can do it better

[uncut edge]

The guard books depict card games and whatnot but yeah it’s a whole lotta ducking

[languid meadow]

and also not die of radiation

[arctic talon]

It’s so funny how the comissars only wear the gas masks in really shitty places

lol

[heady rivet]

The semen tithe

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

Two adults who have sweet fa to do but work attend church living in a broomcloset apartment

[arctic talon]

The white tithe…..

[languid meadow]

the

[uncut edge]

That’s it, you’re going to jail

[languid meadow]

whitetide

[arctic talon]

I should be shot

[uncut edge]

Mandated edict: 15 minutes in timeout

[uncut edge]

What the fuck

[arctic talon]

What

[heady rivet]

[heady rivet]

Better than the Cadian closet

[storm jungle]

[drifting path]

Kinda sounds like being a part of the Death Korps of Krieg isn't the worst fate imaginable. I guess. For Warhammer 40K standards.

[vagrant fox]

Overruled, sentenced to 27 hours in Macau gambling dens

[arctic talon]

Fuuuuuuuuuck

[vagrant fox]

Things can always get worse

[heady rivet]

[languid meadow]

I know we love shitting on krieg but I can only thing of
"fake child soldiers (Cadians) when real regime goons show up (Krieg)"

because people will talk about how Cadians will learn to shoot by 10 and shit

krieg kids are like sea turtles

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

You are literally a worthless soldier with no importance sent to the worst warzones to die for a fascist regime.

Its literally just WW1 on crack

Its a terrible fate lol

[vital ginkgo]

Every soldier ever

[drifting path]

I was tryna be on the bright side of life. :c

[vital ginkgo]

If I were in 40k I'd be an inquisitor

[storm jungle]

War sucks.

[vagrant fox]

Tbf white shields are about the same age when they get to fight or die iirc

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/scrubs-dr-cox-jd-sad-gif-24645338

[vital ginkgo]

Well with that attitude it's gonna suck

Look on the bright side

[vagrant fox]

Dilara is a commie softie 👎

[storm jungle]

Landmine

[languid meadow]

it's more like their training

[languid meadow]

cadians do live fire as kids but not like

[arctic talon]

Do you want an edited down version someone made?

[languid meadow]

crawl through radioactive mud with a mask on and having nades thrown at you

[vagrant fox]

It's pretty bright if you're an imperial 1%er on a paradise world

[heady rivet]

Grok take his clothes off

And a hush falls over the room...

[storm jungle]

[urban spire]

if i was in 40k the black crusades would have gone down different

[arctic talon]

Here

[drifting path]

What's the black crusades?

[heady rivet]

Markius Wahlberg

[arctic talon]

It’s abbadon’s overall campaign to destroy the imperium

[storm jungle]

big chaos armadas that go to raid and cause a ruckus in imperial zones

[arctic talon]

The imperium numbers them

Abbadon doesnt

[storm jungle]

Abaddon's are the larger ones

[arctic talon]

Because it’s one big campaign to him

[storm jungle]

but other notorious chaos lords can do them too

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[languid meadow]

I fucking love siege lore sometimes because it's super fucking funny, because fym you put snake and sam on the same team

people are going missing and never showing up again

[drifting path]

Who's Abaddon?

[urban spire]

i would simply unite chaos except for nurgle and khorne because they're dumb and lame and we'd go take terra

[arctic talon]

Very important chaos lord

[languid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/solid-snake-sam-fisher-handshake-splinter-cell-metal-gear-solid-gif-7221551501099043704

[drifting path]

Ah, that's why I'm unaware. I'm only somewhat familiar with the Gods, not a soul under them.

[vagrant fox]

Na they have to earn the right to graduate from white shields to guard in combat
Bad either way

[vagrant fox]

You'll never be khornes strongest warrior with an attitude like this

[languid meadow]

have you seen the Yujiro Hanma coat hanger

[urban spire]

that's the idea

[vagrant fox]

Only Khorne has the decency to only punish you for your failures and great dental plan

[drifting path]

Can a Chaos God die?

[storm jungle]

Only if literally every sentient being in reality dies

[urban spire]

lesser ones can

[storm jungle]

otherwise no

They are also multiversal beings

40k is not their only playground

[urban spire]

greater ones, it has never happened

[drifting path]

Oh, well that sucks for everyone else.

So, a Chaos God can't slay another Chaos God?

[storm jungle]

We dont really know.

They are all somewhat equal in power

its cosmic cthulu stuff

[languid meadow]

the closest we got is slaanesh being sealed but she still does some stuff

her daemons are still running around

doing

stuff

[drifting path]

Who could seal a Chaos God? How'd that happen?

[storm jungle]

its Warhammer Fantasy + AOS lore

basically she vored all the elven souls in Warhammer Fantasy after the planet exploded

got fat

[languid meadow]

peak art for it, rare elf W

[storm jungle]

later the surviving elven avatars of the gods found her

then uhhh

literally disemboweled her

freed all the souls

and them imprisoned her

but shes slowly breaking free lol

Chaos gods are unchanging (unless it's adding a new one)

[vagrant fox]

That stinky horned rat will never be a god

[storm jungle]

He already is

sorry buddy

[vagrant fox]

False

[drifting path]

I've heard of people talking about how the Emperor could be a Chaos God himself.

[storm jungle]

He basically was gonna be one

[heady rivet]

I'm puttin thay rat in a sock and beating him against the floor like a Chimpanzee

[solid horizon]

chaos god of fascism

[young pecan]

If he ever wakes up he's probably gonna be a lot different than how we was when he went to sleep

Chaos God of inefficient administration systems

[heady rivet]

I mean he's not even a "person" he's barely a conciousness

[solid horizon]

he's never going to wake up

the emperor is a glorified tech thrall

[storm jungle]

He will in like 10-15 years IRL when the setting needs another shakeup

[drifting path]

I hope he doesn't wake up. He seems like a bitch.

[vagrant fox]

I knew a new jerseyite who did that until the rat exploded and every day I pray it happens to the snoozed rat

[storm jungle]

You are smarter than most people in this fandom for making this statement lol

[heady rivet]

The Emperor waking up would literally be the start of an AoS-style end times to make a NEW sci-fi setting

[young pecan]

Just in time right before the tyranids take Terra

[storm jungle]

Ironically probably lmao

[solid horizon]

The Emperor would wake up just to die right after

[young pecan]

Oh you thought I was joking LMAO

Yeah they would do that fs

[heady rivet]

Do you think Tyranids taste good

[storm jungle]

40k fucking LOVES its "everyone is about to die but cue Faith ex Machina that saves the day as we pray to mega-hitler"

[vagrant fox]

The starchild will be born and the Imperium will become nobledark it's true

[solid horizon]

Do you think orks taste like broccoli

[young pecan]

That's what happened with Ghillie Man innit

[crisp heath]

emperor be

[storm jungle]

yeah lol

[urban spire]

they're not plants they're mushrooms

[crisp heath]

space hitler

[storm jungle]

emperor be'snt

[heady rivet]

Ork pizza

[solid horizon]

Ork are green

they probably do photosynthesis

does an ork become yellow if too deprived of sunlight ?

[crisp heath]

isnt thast

confirmed?

[storm jungle]

First time hearing it

[drifting path]

Was the Emperor conscious around the time that Orks, Tyranids, Tau, and everyone else was first contacted? I'm aware that the Emperor was conscious to have met and exterminated non-named aliens. ||I think. I'm still learning.||

[heady rivet]

Tier list of the edibility of 40k races. Humans, S tier

[urban spire]

if that was true orks should be yellow all the time from hanging out on spaceships or in caves or whatever

[storm jungle]

He was yeah, he was born around the Hittite times

but was essentially doing fuckall

[solid horizon]

yellow orks sound cool

tbh

[drifting path]

Really makes me wonder if he even really actually cared about humankind.

[solid horizon]

explosive orks

[storm jungle]

He does

but he cares about the big picture of mankind

not the individuals

basically like most tyrants

[vagrant fox]

The tau were in a stone age when the emps got enchaired and tyranids showed up later but yea

[raven stone]

He cares for his specific vision of mankind, to be precise

[drifting path]

Dude's a bum.

Hope he rots in that chair. Lol.

[urban spire]

the emperor has subtextually been lurking behind the scenes for most of human history, then circa 30k he decided that humanity can't be trusted to be good on their own and need a STRONG GUIDING HAND
and then he fucked it up worse than literally anyone else has ever fucked it up

[storm jungle]

Its like people like Stalin saying they will make the nation great when he starved millions of people to death through his "reforms" lol

[heady rivet]

The Emperor destroyed a lot of Ork empires, including a huge one where he almost died. Tau are too "new" on the galactic scale and werent around when he was up and about. And at least one account of the Emperor fighting Tyranids exists, although thousands of years before Tyranids showed up.

[vagrant fox]

Very fast industrialisation tho

[solid horizon]

if imperium so good

why so many bad guyz

riddle me this empie

[drifting path]

Wait, hold up. The Tau take in other races right? What makes the Tau shitty again? Since everyone has to have a record.

[vagrant fox]

Imperium bad and under my leadership it could be worse
Vote for me

[raven stone]

Imperium is the worst of the only available choice for humanity survival in the 40k era, in essence, is why grimdark/grimderp

[young pecan]

For a guy who thought only logically in relation to his sons, he sure was bad at psycho-analyzing or understanding what will irreparably piss them off

[storm jungle]

China-esque authoritarianism

[urban spire]

they still practice empire

[heady rivet]

Caste system that is lead by an authoritarian council, and plenty of reeducation camps

[urban spire]

god emperorism with chinese characteristics

[young pecan]

nooo they're wholesome chunger brah

[raven stone]

T'au is like...a weird mish mash of modern CCP China, British Empire and American Trade Foreign Conquest policies rolled into one

[storm jungle]

ratlings

[vagrant fox]

You have near no choice in anything but at least the water is clean
Ignore the special camps

[urban spire]

hobbits but horny

[arctic talon]

The Tau are very imperialist

lol

[arctic talon]

They're an authoritarian survailance state

[raven stone]

They don't exist in 40k ... yet, but some people say IoM are Ratlings :p

[arctic talon]

and also war mongerers

[drifting path]

At least Ogryns are innocent. Right? Riiight?

[solid horizon]

tf you mean

they exist in40k

[urban spire]

you're mixing up ratlings and skaven

[young pecan]

Wait do we have any known instances of LoV having and using psykers

[urban spire]

ratlings are 40k hobbits

[arctic talon]

Yes

[raven stone]

Also also, worth mentioning they practice gunboat diplomacy. "Join us, or we conquer you to civilize you."

[urban spire]

warhammer in general

[arctic talon]

Grimnyr

[raven stone]

Except they aren't picky about what you look like

[arctic talon]

[solid horizon]

they are very much real

[young pecan]

They can be anywhere from sweet and loyal to a fault, to a big mean greedy brutish bastard

[raven stone]

Wait shit I am being stupid

I confused that comment with skaven for some reason

excuse me whilst I shoot myself for heresy :p

[solid horizon]

ratlings are tiny abhumans

hobbits of warhammer

[solid horizon]

such a shame they arent in darktide

[vagrant fox]

As nice as an exploited subspecies in the worst and bloodiest regime can be

[heady rivet]

Devs said no other heights

[raven stone]

ah ok

[heady rivet]

[solid horizon]

fatassshark stupid again

[young pecan]

If they do fold and make ratlings (unlikely), I hope they get more creative than they did with the scum

[solid horizon]

ratlings would be better than skits

[heady rivet]

It was either ratlings or ogryns

[solid horizon]

gimmeeeeee mr frodooooooo

[urban spire]

anyway the tau empire is undeniably better than the imperium of man, but it's kinda like saying neo-liberalism is preferable to fascism; it's undeniably true, but it doesn't make it good

[solid horizon]

to everyone who wants skitariis : I hope you stub your toes on furniture corners

[urban spire]

and also they're very closely related

[heady rivet]

Fascism with Tau characteristics

[vagrant fox]

What if I want a tech menial

[raven stone]

Also strictly within 40k context, T'au technically know less about the Warp than Ad Mech/IoM

(not that it stops them from just shooting problems out of existence, but for what it counts...)

[urban spire]

yeah tau thought a lot of warp stuff was just superstition

reasonable thing to think honestly, if you've never run into it

[raven stone]

GW wouldn't really write the narrative, but in enssence, that lack of warp knowledge will eventually screw T'au over in a big way

[urban spire]

they're catching up

[raven stone]

recall Emp's enforced atheism was how Warp/Chaos did over 30k IoM

[vagrant fox]

anyway mecha is lame tau would be so much cooler without them 💯 💯

[urban spire]

eh i can take it or leave it

mechs are cool, tanks are cool

daemons are vulnerable to railguns

[solid horizon]

railguns are also vulnerable to daemons

[arctic talon]

the Tau are learning more over time

[vagrant fox]

More tanks and aircraft less bipedal nonsense
Upright locomotion was a mistake

[raven stone]

Instructions unclear, James Workshop will now spam battlesuits

[arctic talon]

battlesuits are cool

hush

smh

[solid horizon]

tanks are best for transportation tho

[arctic talon]

they literally use tanks and dropships for transportation

[sour hornet]

maybe

[arctic talon]

well

APCs

[solid horizon]

on tabletop tanks spend inches to pivot

[urban spire]

it's not a tank if it's a transport, if it's a transport it's either an APC of an IFV

[raven stone]

I do just have to pitch in in East Asia, there are lots of T'au players who just do Gundam conversions out of them battlesuits

for what it counts

[vagrant fox]

Fight me 4v1

[sour hornet]

battlesuits get major aura loss when you see the piloting position

[solid horizon]

walkers can pivot without spending movement points

[sour hornet]

bro is NOT cool

🥀 💔

[solid horizon]

are there walking transports

[raven stone]

They also get major aura loss when you just...murder the pilots before they get into the cockpit :p
(Which the IoM actually tried with a Tempestus Scions raid at one point...and hot away with it realtively speaking)

[arctic talon]

tbf

this is like saying a tank is lame bcs you can kill the crew

LOL

[raven stone]

OK true

[vagrant fox]

Fewer titans more ordinatus
A vote for me is a vote for cooler wmds

[arctic talon]

I want Tau to have a giant fucking hover tank with a massive gun mounted on

like the Taunar

but one giant gun

[solid horizon]

that one grey knight mech

[arctic talon]

and also more smaller guns

[urban spire]

incidentally that's usually how tanks are taken out. barring disastrous damage, tanks can be recovered from a lot of things

[arctic talon]

Yeah the crew tends to die

before the tank

💀

irl

[urban spire]

not necessarily die

[solid horizon]

meanwhile tabletop

[urban spire]

even

[heady rivet]

If I saw a Tau nothing would stop me

[arctic talon]

crippled

rather

[solid horizon]

tank dies and crew is still alive

[arctic talon]

also in tabletop tanks don't always explode either in 40k lol

[urban spire]

tank gets crippled, crew bails out

[arctic talon]

yeah

back before 8e tanks had hull points and would only be "crippled"/"wrecked" depending on the results

they'd only explode on a really shit roll

[solid horizon]

wrecks were funny

free cover

[arctic talon]

they should bring wrecks back

[urban spire]

it's one of the things that makes war thunder a balance nightmare

[solid horizon]

I remember 6 editions away we did a game with my brother with destructible obstacles

I rammed into a wall with my tank to make the wall disappear

[urban spire]

irl: a big penetrator makes a fist sized hole in your tank, even if the crew is mostly okay they're probably gonna bail

in a videogame, that would suck

[solid horizon]

but my rhino died and left a wreck in the wall

[sour hornet]

I'm deadass gonna be ass and elbows into the dark

war thunder crews suicidal

[urban spire]

yuuup

[arctic talon]

people say they want realism until they get it

/hj

[vagrant fox]

I just don't want those dickass overpen spgs and time travelling ifvs around is that so bad

[urban spire]

people bitch about concussion mechanics being absent from WT all the time, but the devs have actually tried it multiple times and every time it's been so miserable to players that they just drop it

[vagrant fox]

It's miserable in wot

[storm jungle]

Realistic war is sitting on your ass and having your brain splattered by an enemy you never see as the world goes black

lmao

[arctic talon]

something something, hours of bordem and 30 seconds of the most terror you have ever felt

[vagrant fox]

It's fun sometimes

[urban spire]

tbf that's pretty much the WT experience for your first 500 hours

[storm jungle]

Gonna vomit

good luck

[storm jungle]

yeah hold still ill do it on you

[solid horizon]

Doing everything to survive in Hell Let Loose just to die to a random artillery shell is peak

[heady rivet]

Surely you can take a guess

[urban spire]

no i mean i've read through the entire plot multiple times it just doesn't stick

[vagrant fox]

I do think it has a plot other than getting idiots into the army

[heady rivet]

Okay. Why.

[urban spire]

wiki diving

[uncut edge]

Fellas and germs, you think a dark angel task force could be under the command/in the pocket of a rogue trader

Or would they refuse a rogue trader’s employment

[heady rivet]

The entire Imperium is built on "IOU"

[uncut edge]

So yes

[urban spire]

idk man rogue traders sometimes work with space marines but they have their own command structure

[heady rivet]

In Rogue Traders plot, the SPACE WOLVES repay a favor to the Inquisition

[storm jungle]

If they are after a Fallen yes

this is legit the only requirement you need

lmao

[vagrant fox]

It'd be rare but plausible

[uncut edge]

I have a theme for my 40K collection where I think it would be cool if they were all employed or indebted to a rogue trader

[storm jungle]

Id say not employed or indebted

literally just lie to the RT

[urban spire]

don't the dangels kill people for figuring out there are fallen dangels?

[storm jungle]

say they are after some renegade

and that they will assist them until otherwise

[storm jungle]

They can just lie

lol

they do it all the time

[arctic talon]

They lie all the time

About the fallen

And people usually believe them

[storm jungle]

Yeah literally just "we are after some chaos marines"

[urban spire]

oh so it's not completely stupid

[uncut edge]

Well you know what I mean

[arctic talon]

Bcs wtf are you gona say

[rocky gale]

They get swindled and end up oathbound to the Rogue Trader

[vagrant fox]

Just don't get too close to the truth

[arctic talon]

“My lord are you fucking stupid?”

[urban spire]

but if the RT manages to spot some unfortunate insignia, it's fucking over for them?

[uncut edge]

That was my thought

[urban spire]

they're donion rings?

[solid horizon]

dumb ass question but

[arctic talon]

Depends, if it’s weird esoteric nonsense no. If it’s the dark angels legion symbol probably

[uncut edge]

Over for the rogue trader or dangels?

[solid horizon]

is there a SM chapter that's unaware a heresy has happened

[storm jungle]

No

[arctic talon]

The Horus heresy? No

[solid horizon]

sadge

[storm jungle]

that would be like extremely far fetched

[arctic talon]

Chapters are post heresy institutions

lol

You cannot have a chapter before the heresy

[uncut edge]

Originally they were legions

[urban spire]

the chapter org structure was adopted AFTER the heresy

[solid horizon]

I found the idea of a legion/chapter not knowing what happened funny

[heady rivet]

Bankrupted trying yo maintain the upkeep of them

[urban spire]

some hapless dipshit could technically be lost in the warp that long i guess

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[solid horizon]

yeah warp lost is the most probable

[urban spire]

but a whole legion? no way

[sacred ginkgo]

Could have a planet locked warband stuck out in bum fuck Nihilus

[solid horizon]

I asked because if ever I build a loyalist SM army I want it to be the silliest possible

[uncut edge]

My idea was a super elite dark angel army that did favors for the rogue trader between searching feverishly for fallen relics/the fallen

[rocky gale]

I mean technically the Legions did have Chapters before the Heresy

[storm jungle]

What would be the size/marine numbers in it

[arctic talon]

This sounds like one of their sucessor chapters lol

Who like relics a lot

Fuck I forgot their name

[urban spire]

gotchu covered fam

[uncut edge]

Very elite inner sanctum and death wing army, like at most 20 people

[hollow lantern]

Carcharodons predate the heresy tbh, they're a kinda special case tho

[solid horizon]

yes but

[storm jungle]

Deathwng would be a bit far fetched

[solid horizon]

that's common silly

unoriginal

[storm jungle]

that would be like a 1-done deal

[solid horizon]

also primaris sucks

[rocky gale]

Like the Legions had Chapters and Chapter Masters before getting split up

[solid horizon]

I hate the design

firstborn beak helmet absolute peak

[rocky gale]

Beakie is worst helmet

[vagrant fox]

Consecrators?

[heady rivet]

Bait used to be believable

[solid horizon]

you should crucify the balls you lack

[arctic talon]

Yeah them

[opaque coyote]

Tbf that's because realism in video games is hard to implement

[vagrant fox]

Not too fond of beakie either, mk7 scowler is #1

[opaque coyote]

Also because usually realism goes the other way around and feels even more annoying than it does in real life sometimes

[solid horizon]

are spacemarines sensible to amnesia

[opaque coyote]

Idk about you, but I don't feel hungry 30 minutes after eating

[rocky gale]

Both Beakie and MK7 are awful

[opaque coyote]

Yes

[rocky gale]

I'm not baiting, this is genuine

[solid horizon]

So

[urban spire]

beakie is the basis for scrungaloids, i fw it

[opaque coyote]

One SM got brain damage

And lost his memory

[uncut edge]

That’s fair. I do have a guard regiment that’s in the pocket of the rogue trader and just thought having every army be tied to related to that rogue trader would be neat

[solid horizon]

Said army could have potentially forgot about the heresy

[opaque coyote]

So yeah technically if you smack an SM in the right place

He'd get amnesia

[storm jungle]

A guard regiment cannot be in the pocket of a rogue trader though

[urban spire]

they look so good

[uncut edge]

Yeah and I’ll tell you why

[storm jungle]

the Guard belong to the Munitorum

[rocky gale]

Too bad

[storm jungle]

Voidsmen exist for a reason

[storm jungle]

❌

[heady rivet]

A Rogue Trader is allowed to just raise a private army, not apart of the Guard

[rose thorn]

“Oh hey new fan music of a faction I like”

ai

[urban spire]

now, it would not be expensive for a rogue trader to outfit their personal forces like the IG

[rose thorn]

[uncut edge]

Not if they’re 30k Solar auxilia who got flung into 40K via warp shenanigans and have no home, and are viewed by the imperium at large dubiously

[storm jungle]

Like i said, Voidsmen

[storm jungle]

Thats- no

💀

[solid horizon]

Chrom moment

[rocky gale]

Too bad

[arctic talon]

Just make them house guard or voidsmen

They still use the shit

[storm jungle]

^

[uncut edge]

That’s my custom guard regiment

[arctic talon]

From 30k p

The armor rather

Not sure about the guns

[opaque coyote]

...y'know I have the opposite opinion

[opaque coyote]

They will just be added

[storm jungle]

a 30k Solar Aux who ended up in a situation like that woul dbe instantly seized

[arctic talon]

But the armor is still used

And so are the vehicles

[urban spire]

it's nowhere close to the dumbest 40k fanfic i've seen, ship it

[arctic talon]

Based

Honestly

[solid horizon]

can space marines get drunk

[storm jungle]

They would be living relics and theres no way all of them would ever go along with being with a rogue trader

[uncut edge]

Why thank you

[storm jungle]

they'db e traumatized by the time that has passed lol

[arctic talon]

If they turn off their poison processing thing with drugs yes

[heady rivet]

Or take a look at the Euclidian Starstriders for an example of a Rogue Trader having private forces. Their Voidsman

[storm jungle]

the last thing on their mind would be working for a rogue trader

[uncut edge]

Oh and they are

[storm jungle]

yeah but see above

[urban spire]

i've seen a 40k sonic crossover webcomic

[rocky gale]

Just make sure you packed the Hellion sprues before you ship it

[storm jungle]

literally just make them elite Voidsmen

[uncut edge]

You are making these comments without knowing the full context

[storm jungle]

Well yeah because i dont have a full context

[heady rivet]

Or the Vovn Valncius protectorate having their own full-on armies

[storm jungle]

explaining it later is not exactly fair either lol

[opaque coyote]

They would likely be absorbed as a specialized regiment

Or immediately get Mechanicus hovering over them like seagulls next to a half eaten hotdog

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

Probably the latter

[solid horizon]

Great, my SM warband will be dudes who forgot about heresy with amnesia and drink to hell to forget they forgot

[opaque coyote]

Given that some 30k era tech is lost

[rose thorn]

Quick question what’s the naming convention of forge worlds?

[uncut edge]

Well blatantly shitting on the idea doesn’t entirely make me lean towards engaging more about it and clarifying it

[opaque coyote]

They would at least be looked over to see if they have any technology than can be

[heady rivet]

On his death bed GRRM is canonizing all the ASOIAF fanfic, plunging the series into war

Adeptus Biggus Dickus

Dreadnought Ballsmasher

[opaque coyote]

I mean you know that Dreadnought is

Terrifying

[opaque coyote]

Nobody would care if your warrior, weapon, or chapter is named something like

"Death Scars"

But Ballsmasher?

You know they did some stuff

[solid horizon]

I grew insensible to dreadnoughts

[storm jungle]

Im not shitting on anything, dont act like im throwing insults and calling the idea garbage, im just giving out what would happen lol

[opaque coyote]

If you want to make something like Female SMs. Go right ahead

Just know that it won't line up with current lore sets

[heady rivet]

This RT would NEED to basically cover it all up and keep it on the hush

Or piss off every drydock-owner in the Imperium

[solid horizon]

im gonna make space marines who forgot about the heresy and drink to forget they forgot

forgotworld

[opaque coyote]

"Horus Heresy? What's that? Anyways, I can't believe we have no Warmaster."

"Chapters? You mean Legions right?"

[solid horizon]

"right ?"

[urban spire]

space wolves

[uncut edge]

My buddy is running an Armageddon crusade and we’re playing during the third war, the idea is that the regiment absoluetly scarred and mortified(the crusade deficiency is morale for that reason) and taking their frustration out and murdering the CSM. The imperials believe they’re pirates who raided Solar auxilia relics or something along those lines. The idea is that after Armageddon, a rogue trader steps in to prevent them from being taken away and offers them semi-autonomy in exchange for favors and dubious missions

[heady rivet]

I should get art commissioned of my regiment bevause I'm a stupid dumb Imperial chud

[storm jungle]

Basically yeah. I say this as someone that literally had a similiar idea but mine was the Voidsmen of the Dynasty just follow Solar Aux doctrines that stretch back centuries because when the Heresy wrapped up and the Imperium was passing out reforms the Dynasty's patriarch ended up marrying a Solar Aux lady general and absorbed her and her soldiers into his house and their practices just became a part of their martial culture all the way into M41

[uncut edge]

Hellll yeah

my dynasty went from fish farmers, to prometheium barons to religious zealots to rich aristocrats

its very funny lol

I liked the idea of a crime lord becoming a rogue trader, like in the rogue trader video game

[vagrant fox]

Make a whole sector

i think a few chapters of space marines should defect to the tau

mix it up a little with the traitors

[opaque coyote]

Considering even Chaos Space Marines fucking hate Xenos

[opaque coyote]

I have a hard time imagining that

[solid horizon]

do space marines have genetic obligation to obliterate xenos ?

[urban spire]

no

[heady rivet]

In 2050 the Warhammer IP will be Space Marines fighting Space Marines and nothing else

[opaque coyote]

No but their brainwashing is so deep

That it's basically instinct

[solid horizon]

yes but

if they forget

[arctic talon]

They get an absurd amount of brainwashing to the point it’s a subconscious thing

[uncut edge]

Hellll yeah

[solid horizon]

nvm they might have terrible survival instincts if they forget everything

[opaque coyote]

Theoretically it could happen but it'd be difficult because it's basically burned into their brain

[uncut edge]

For the greater not so good unless you’re farsight

Even Heresy era Chaos Marines still hate Xenos, it's been deep for a long time

angular stuff ain't cool unless it's got a shitton of rivets on it

[rose thorn]

additioally, the knight house having the symbol of hte people htey... betrayed??? kinda??? is pretty funny but also wouldnt make sense
idk if your forge world goes traitor and you stop them, did you betray the admech or did you side with it? I guess it depends if the knight house likes admehc

[winter pine]

I want a competition between the Tau and some more noblesse oblige Necrons on how many Imperial worlds they can subvert and take over

[arctic talon]

You betrayed the forgeworld but not necessarily the cult mechanicus/mechanicus as a whole

[opaque coyote]

Honestly Battle suits are fine as the ""equivalent""

Even then, if they do it cause of sales

[rose thorn]

fair

[opaque coyote]

I can imagine it'd be completely homegrown

[arctic talon]

But their opinion could differ

[opaque coyote]

And probably still an exoskeleton tbf

Just one that happens to be just as big as an SM

[arctic talon]

The tau basically have power armor already lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

The smaller suits

[opaque coyote]

And it looks awesome

[arctic talon]

Mass class 1

And 2 are both arguably power armor

[urban spire]

a mechanicus contingent defecting to the tau would also be cool

[arctic talon]

This has happened funnily enough

[urban spire]

oh neat

[arctic talon]

It was some xenarites

[urban spire]

probably no cool skitarii gue'vesa art though eh?

[arctic talon]

Point applies that they willingly defected thiugh

[arctic talon]

Nah prolly not

It’s a random bit of rulebook lore

Not much elaboration beyond them believing they had so much more to learn and they could teach so much to the tau

[heady rivet]

Non-Tau Tau are super underrepresented in art

[arctic talon]

lol

[arctic talon]

And when they’re represented it’s kroot 90% of the time

lol

[urban spire]

bless the kitbashers

[solid horizon]

what

why are they french

[arctic talon]

Turning Eyros into a tau gue’vesa is fun

He’s got the big hat

[solid horizon]

As a skitarii kitbasher I do not approve

[rose thorn]

closed my eyes nad clicekd a ranodm spot for my forge world
