oh god the Ash letter

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I think most Magic Tsons use staves

#

Cool sorcery casting

celest dome
#

Speaking about that as FS doing what they did to the Psyker (and Sienna's) staves are more so game sense than lore

jade holly
#

Especially Ahriman

#

He got his own ride

arctic talon
#

because magic staffs are not needed for magic in 40k

jade holly
#

the funny disc hover thing

arctic talon
#

you can just blow up someones head by grasping hard with your hand

celest dome
#

They're basically just fulcrums at most

jade holly
languid meadow
#

sanc psykers only use them because you know they kind of have to

arctic talon
#

nah

#

Well

#

no

#

Sanctioned psykers are issued a force staff as a melee weapon

#

its not a focus for them

celest dome
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Force swords are insanely rare

jade holly
#

Being a Psyker in 40K must suuuuuck

languid meadow
#

well duh for the force swords

arctic talon
#

that is literally what a force staff is

opaque coyote
#

You have tons of friends

celest dome
opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

like 90% of the shit we use in darktide is super rare but it can be hand waved by the fact it's a game

opaque coyote
#

Specifically as a melee attack

celest dome
#

Which imo, not as interesting as other options they could go for

opaque coyote
#

Rather than just like

#

Used as a casting vector

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

but Inqusition moment

#

also the relic blade

#

since its a relic

jade holly
languid meadow
#

bout to say

arctic talon
#

but again Inqusition

last stone
#

Needle pistol are special no?

arctic talon
#

Needle pistols that are high quality are rare as shit

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

cheap needle pistols are uh

#

kind of shit

celest dome
arctic talon
#

oh yeah we

#

should not have that LOL

#

that is an ordo malleus weapon

#

The Hive Scum needle pistols are lore wise on the higher end of crap

jade holly
#

the GK wondering where their force sword went

arctic talon
#

but bad needle weapons are common enough

jade holly
#

the Pysker charging headlong into a Nurgle horde with a Zealot

last stone
#

Oh okay

arctic talon
#

lore wise I'd assume the scum

#

get the better ones

#

after joining up

#

not before

languid meadow
#

I don't blame people for thinking needle weapons are on the rarer side

#

since most people are only exposed to them via eldar shit

#

and not the other stuff they're in

celest dome
#

They are, but more so cause they're not that requested

jade holly
#

Could we ever get anymore Stub guns?

celest dome
#

Heavy Stub

jade holly
#

Like the Stub Cannon in Necromunda or whatever it’s called

#

The thing that looks like a giant revolver

celest dome
#

Handcannons

nocturne crest
#

So here's a bit of an odd question, but does anyone want more human factions in 40k, be they Gue'vesa, Independent Mercs or something else?

celest dome
#

imo, not really needed

languid meadow
#

I want the arb heavy stub

opaque coyote
celest dome
languid meadow
jade holly
languid meadow
#

"denizens of the galaxy" would be a cool seperate thing from big 3 imo with the Severan Dominate but last I heard they were basically gonna fall anyway

#

that with more xenos mercs

opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

like what we got with red corsairs

jade holly
opaque coyote
nocturne crest
opaque coyote
#

Bits of lore is genuinely interesting

#

Sad that it's pretty much the only rogue empire that isn't due to like

languid meadow
opaque coyote
#

Chaos juice

#

Or Tyranidmaxxing

nocturne crest
#

Hello?

languid meadow
#

the corsair box has a xeno merc we didn't have a model for

nocturne crest
#

Ah.

#

Oh yeah!

jade holly
#

40K if the loyalist and traitor chapters were swapped

opaque coyote
#

I will continue to hope for it

#

Until I turn into dust

#

My dead body

#

Will continue to root for it

#

When they dig up my grave hundreds of years later

jade holly
#

What xenos can we realistically see being playable?

opaque coyote
#

They will find a piece of preserved parchment

celest dome
#

None

storm jungle
#

None relaly

opaque coyote
#

"Kroot Merc in Darktide now"

storm jungle
#

thye dont fit the tone of the game

#

its very much human vs human

jade holly
#

You think we’d ever get some form of playable GSC or does lore make that impossible

celest dome
#

And if one was planned on being added, the only possible one would have been Eldar, but none

storm jungle
#

Gestapo vs Cthulu Cultists

storm jungle
#

if so absolutely not lol

jade holly
#

Yeah

celest dome
#

And there is still some classes that could be done within the Imperium.

storm jungle
#

No lmao

nocturne crest
#

INB4 we get another chaos cult as a class.

limpid granite
#

Never ever

storm jungle
#

this is the equilavent of asking "when can we get a taliban CIA operative"

limpid granite
#

Genestealers are pure evil to the imperium

jade holly
#

I know the two main classes I hear people say are an Admech rep and SoB

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

but idk what else we could get off the top of my head

storm jungle
vagrant fox
storm jungle
limpid granite
languid meadow
jade holly
storm jungle
#

why the fuck would you have an infected non-obedient genetic cultist onboard an Inquisition ship

lament shoal
#

Fatshark is sticking to their humans only rule

storm jungle
#

its a braindead idea in-universe

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

Aeldari could be an option seeing as corsairs are trailing the mourningstar

opaque coyote
#

And they only can join because they wanted to

languid meadow
#

I mean sky raiders can mean anything

storm jungle
nocturne crest
#

Oh damn it!

celest dome
#

Eldar (and other Xenos) would require a lot of changes, like explaining why Hadron would be working on Xenos weapons and all

storm jungle
jade holly
limpid granite
opaque coyote
storm jungle
#

and isnt related to at all to Darktide's concept

#

lol

limpid granite
#

I know

nocturne crest
winter pine
#

Would prefer if Fatshark sticks with a human vs human conflict tbqh

opaque coyote
#

Genestealers would be fun as enemies

#

But not as playables

jade holly
#

I do want a GSC enemy faction

limpid granite
#

But an example of not just killing genestealers on sight

storm jungle
#

GSC at best are gonna be a future enemy faction

jade holly
#

More open tilesets with them so they can have vehicles

languid meadow
#

the only xenos we could see as an enemy is GSC since they're the closest to humans that would make sense but I don't think fatshark is gonna do another game with multiple factions

#

HOPEFULLY

opaque coyote
nocturne crest
#

Okay, I got a new idea: warp shit happens, the original characters from vermintide turn up in the game.

languid meadow
#

but beastmen, norscans, and skaven was an interesting mashup in VT2

celest dome
#

The only problems with GSC as enemy is having them be alongside the current factions

winter pine
#

I mean technically aren't the Moebian Sixth and Admonition Cultist separate factions?

#

Not to the degree of VT2 tho definitely

languid meadow
#

idr if beastmen are spawned with norscans or skaven

limpid granite
#

Fatshark wouldnt put a genestealer cult symbol in the no man's land documents for no reason

languid meadow
#

I know norscans and skaven are together a lot

opaque coyote
limpid granite
#

Chaos xenos?

celest dome
opaque coyote
#

Like a Nurgle Worshipper Xeno

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

As a boss

#

Just not as a prevalent enemy

limpid granite
#

No

nocturne crest
#

Imagine if they get chaos space marines in Darktide, but it's the purge.

winter pine
languid meadow
#

We do need a psyker enemy ngl

limpid granite
#

Blightlords have no mention in darktide

celest dome
limpid granite
opaque coyote
#

About how the dark gods will save our souls

jade holly
limpid granite
#

It would be weird for a word bearer to show up on atoma

languid meadow
#

Aurora

opaque coyote
limpid granite
languid meadow
#

Nah they're choas undivided they'll work with what ever

languid meadow
#

the fucking WBs in RT are doing tzeentch stuff

jade holly
#

I want a Daemon Engine boss fight

#

Lemme at the new Defiler

limpid granite
#

Thats more a sm2 thing

jade holly
#

I’ll show it what happens to crustaceans in my state

#

Boiled and seasoned with Old Bay

limpid granite
#

A defiler would be a big fucking issue on atoma

raven stone
#

It isn’t even Monday and I miss the weekend already…

celest dome
#

Honestly the best way to add a new faction would be through having Belakor being the overseer, and deciding on having other Cults rise up to the fray

nocturne crest
jade holly
#

Fellas get ready to hate me, I don’t even know what a Darktide is lmao

nocturne crest
#

Have two hubs areas: The OG and the second one with this Horussian inquisitor.

jade holly
#

Is it literally just large scale chaos activity

winter pine
#

A Word Bearer showing up would be too much of an escalation for Grendyl to manage

opaque coyote
#

It's basically just "The enemies of Atoma"

#

And used in place of whatever enemy they do foght

celest dome
jade holly
#

His name is John Word Bearer

celest dome
#

Like a single one or even just a small faction or them

jade holly
#

and he is bald

vagrant fox
celest dome
#

Like the Reject could kill a CSM

nocturne crest
celest dome
#

It's very much no issue...

limpid granite
languid meadow
#

The only reason I knew of term "darktide" was from WHF iirc

opaque coyote
winter pine
celest dome
jade holly
winter pine
#

Very much an enemy Imperials will drop everything to do with if they get wind of it

opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

I would actually fucking kill for 40k Be'lakor in a video game

#

he has aura in fantasy and AoS

#

but he's kind of a jobber in 40k

#

him being in a game like daemongate

jade holly
#

You know what would be terrifying to see in game as an obstacle we need to avoid most of the be mission then find a way to destroy at the end? A Plagueburst Crawler

celest dome
#

Belakor would also allow them to reference the U5 and the matter of the Vermintide

winter pine
#

Mortarian being a jobber for Daemongate was kino

languid meadow
#

I mean we got fucking morty in it

opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

a game like that can explore larger daemons

limpid granite
#

It was pure fan service

languid meadow
#

Vashtorr got something cool recently

nocturne crest
#

Okay, one final idea that would be out there and might get me shot. T'au/Gue'vesa ship comes out of the warp, because they were fucking around again.

languid meadow
#

with arch-magos

storm jungle
#

they body Angron in Armageddon last year

#

the game isnt questionable

languid meadow
#

fucking DRAGO shows up lmao

storm jungle
#

^

#

Drago is pure plot armorium

#

they were never gonna lose

#

lol

limpid granite
#

Thats what i mean

celest dome
limpid granite
jade holly
vagrant fox
#

GK operate purely on rule of cool

languid meadow
#

I just feel like two types of games can handle Bel

nocturne crest
languid meadow
#

Daemongate or maybe TW40k

#

just port his shit over from WH3 lol

celest dome
limpid granite
#

Be'lakor bossfight

jade holly
#

Does Bellakor even have a 40K tabletop model and rules?

limpid granite
#

Ancient chaos daemon loses to 4 shitheads

celest dome
limpid granite
#

He has a 3rd and 9th edition model

jade holly
#

Chaos Daemon codex I’m assuming?

celest dome
#

Belakor shoudln't be something you face, but rather like VT2 having it be the background enemy

near wasp
#

Who has the meme of belakor and a steel chair

jade holly
#

Is that even a codex?

storm jungle
languid meadow
#

I didn't even realize he has a chaos warrior as a corpse for his AoS model?

#

for 40k it's a marine lol

storm jungle
#

yeah its a chaos warrior + Primaris LT

wintry cloud
#

He goes where he pleases

limpid granite
#

Belakor is a primordial daemon right?

nocturne crest
limpid granite
#

I know they seperated fantasy and 40k

storm jungle
nocturne crest
#

Digganobz class?

hollow lantern
#

He's iirc the first daemon prince in 40k, idk about fantasy

storm jungle
#

same lore in both settings

celest dome
limpid granite
#

But what about belakors connection with age of sigmar and 40k?

arctic talon
#

Belakor is the first daemon prince in both WHFB and 40k

storm jungle
#

Fantasy Belakor has more lore

wintry cloud
#

Hes always the first

winter pine
languid meadow
#

honestly the one gripe I have with the magic of 40k is I like the winds of AoS and Fantasy

limpid granite
#

Bruh

arctic talon
#

he's not a human in 40k

hollow lantern
#

And then the gods went "well, we aren't making that mistake again"

arctic talon
#

explictly

storm jungle
#

The settings being seperated is better

arctic talon
#

Belakor is a xenos in 40k of some unknown species

storm jungle
#

get this crossover shit out of here

hollow lantern
arctic talon
#

Belakor in AoS/WHFB is probably a person

jade holly
#

Has Be’lakor been around longer than Vashtorr?

arctic talon
#

yes presumably

hollow lantern
languid meadow
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

in terms of irl function also yes

languid meadow
#

the only crossover I like is the stupid fuckign skaven one

#

since it fits them because they're so stupid

arctic talon
#

because I never need to acknowledge it again

hollow lantern
#

I'm glad there's like, an example of an ascended xeno

nocturne crest
#

I guess admech or sisters is the only way to go forward as the next human class.

jade holly
#

Wait 40K Bel isn’t just a daemon?

arctic talon
#

Belakor is a daemon prince yes

nocturne crest
#

Unless we get space marine scouts.

arctic talon
#

that means ascended mortal

jade holly
#

I know next to nothing about the guy lmao

languid meadow
#

he's a prince in both so once a mortal

celest dome
#

Depending on what they want to do

vagrant fox
#

I do like the wink wink nudge reference crossovers but keep it to that

near wasp
languid meadow
#

pretty sure we know SOME things about his Fantasy origin

#

just not his 40k one

nocturne crest
#

Wait, can blood angels scouts fall to the black rage?

storm jungle
#

Literally every blood angel can fall to it

#

its in their geneseed lol

languid meadow
#

they have geneseed so yes

vagrant fox
#

yes

wintry cloud
#

Its their mechanic

#

Not a bug

#

A feature

arctic talon
#

Thirst is a feature

jade holly
arctic talon
#

black rage is a bug

jade holly
wintry cloud
vagrant fox
#

Happens to some in the blood sarcophagus as they get the implants iirc

languid meadow
#

the only thing scouts lack is like full augmentations but they're given geneseed like as one fo the first things they get

limpid granite
jade holly
storm jungle
limpid granite
#

geneseed is a very strong thing

storm jungle
#

because hes a plot armored twat

#

so it doesnt really matter

limpid granite
#

also a very low amount of blood angels remained sane after falling to the rage

languid meadow
#

I wanted to say I was surprised they didn't choose a stormcast for his death model

#

and don't say they'll get teleported

#

necrons do that and they're death models as well

limpid granite
#

and i (think) mephiston fell to the black rage twice

storm jungle
#

Its less teleporting

#

more a chaos warrior makes way more sense

languid meadow
#

potato potato

storm jungle
#

espdecially when you know Belakor's pettiness

arctic talon
#

Yeah

languid meadow
#

that's why he's the goat

arctic talon
#

Also belakor's main enemy is fucking Chaos ironically

storm jungle
#

THE goat

wintry cloud
#

Belakor cares more about becoming top chaos dog than sigmar

languid meadow
#

(in fantasy and AoS)

arctic talon
#

he is mostly fighting other chaos forces

#

Which is

storm jungle
#

yeah also people forget

arctic talon
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

his animosity remains the same from WHF

arctic talon
#

Belakor's trying to fucking kill Archaon still

#

lol

storm jungle
#

especially with Archaon now being the uhh

wintry cloud
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

he pretended to be loyal for a bit

storm jungle
#

looks at script

wintry cloud
#

His main enemy is archaon

storm jungle
#

Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse

arctic talon
#

But now he uh

limpid granite
#

belakor isnt older than the chaos gods right

arctic talon
#

He's not pretending to be loyal anymore

#

he built his own fuckin army

#

and is ready to KILL

languid meadow
#

based alert

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

so he has to be younger

#

lol

storm jungle
#

Belakor isnt a daemon

arctic talon
#

Belakor is not neverborn

limpid granite
#

what.

arctic talon
#

is what Dilara is saying

arctic talon
#

Belakor isn't neverborn

#

he's a daemon prince

storm jungle
#

he isnt some primoridal being

languid meadow
#

another AoS W for having interesting factions

#

40k would never

arctic talon
#

therfore he exists within time still to an extent

limpid granite
#

so hes a daemon?

storm jungle
#

oh my god man

nocturne crest
#

Okay, I got it. Blood angel scout, but if you use their abilities to many times, they call fall to the black rage and make everyone look like horus.

arctic talon
#

Sort of but not really

storm jungle
#

no hes a fucking box of cereals

languid meadow
#

at this point he's a warp entity

arctic talon
#

He's not neverborn so he does not exist outside time properly like other daemons

languid meadow
#

well no

#

im stupid

arctic talon
#

He's still a daemon prince

languid meadow
#

dudes a dude

#

there we go

near wasp
#

He's a daemon prince he's a mortal who's been ascended into being a daemon

storm jungle
#

HOLDEN BLOODFEAST MENTIONED

#

🗣️

languid meadow
#

holy shit I just realized

arctic talon
#

A REAL AMERICAN HERO

languid meadow
#

fucking satan from smiling friends

near wasp
#

I had the meme loaded I had to

languid meadow
#

looks like be'lakor

arctic talon
#

A TRUE WAR MONGER

storm jungle
#

He doesnt war monger, mongers war him

languid meadow
#

"man I fucking hate that Archaon guy"

storm jungle
limpid granite
languid meadow
#

tbf it's like

#

vanilla ass satan

#

only beaten by southpark

#

and be'lakor is very much vanilla satan flavoured by shadow instead of fire

wintry cloud
languid meadow
#

he's just shadow satan

#

design wise

arctic talon
#

Belakor's a bitch join Archaon

languid meadow
#

it's pretty good

wintry cloud
vagrant fox
#

I can't believe they enshittified Mephisto

languid meadow
#

I wanted to avoid saying "satan but black"

arctic talon
#

Satan but Ulgu

wintry cloud
#

Bro 😂

arctic talon
#

I forgot do we even know if Belakor is human in WHFB

jade holly
#

So Daemon Princes are mortals who have ascended to the highest level of Daemonic influence and power they can obtain*?

limpid granite
#

hes actualy balrog from lord of the rings

arctic talon
#

Daemon Princes are mortals who have literally become daemons

#

they're no longer mortal

#

they have some slightly different rules from normal daemons

#

but most of it is the same

jade holly
#

So the ascension straight up turns them daemon got it

celest cedar
limpid granite
#

at this point titus killed 2 ascending chaos princes

arctic talon
#

they remanifest and manifest easier

celest dome
arctic talon
#

interesting

celest dome
#

Like Constant Drachenfels

storm jungle
#

Drachenfels was like

You just love that uncle rukas (no relation) gif

an old world neandrethal or something wasnt he

vagrant fox

#

ye

celest cedar
arctic talon
#

look who CAN'T SAY

the mods have advised me not to continue this joke

languid meadow
#

why the fuck can't I find the wiki page for fantasy/aos be'lakor

celest dome
#

But Belakor wasn't explained on whether or not he was or wasn't human

languid meadow
#

there we go

storm jungle
#

if he was they'd say so

wintry cloud
storm jungle
#

Zesty AHH

arctic talon
#

Belakor got a huge glowup tbh

#

from his old mini

#

he looked so fucking lame back then

#

lol

languid meadow
#

I found it after I sent that mesage because I had to directly search for it

wintry cloud
#

hes massive and imposing

#

his WINGS

celest dome
storm jungle
#

How archaon was made

arctic talon
#

ngl

storm jungle
#

(dont read his WHF page)

#

💀

arctic talon
#

I'm surprised Archaon hasn't tried to kill Belakor yet

#

like

languid meadow
#

"At the dawn of time, Be'lakor was blessed by all Chaos gods. In the time before the rise of the Elves against Chaos, Be'lakor held the world in an iron fist," it's still a mystery

arctic talon
#

properly

celest dome
#

Kinda like in 40k, has he ever said he wasn't human ?

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

in 40k its said he's a xenos

#

And that he doesn't like revealing that fact at all

jade holly
#

Ok so I thought Daemon Primarch and Daemon Princes were separate things but this makes more sense

arctic talon
#

considering have you seen the average human

languid meadow
#

He predates humans as well in fantasy so he's prob idk

storm jungle
#

like, pre-AOS Archaon was literally traversing the cosmos destroying entire realities before he came to the Mortal Realms

celest cedar
arctic talon
#

and how racist they are

languid meadow
#

a fuckin elf

#

earlier

storm jungle
#

kill all manlings

near wasp
wintry cloud
languid meadow
#

"AT THE DAWN OF TIME"

storm jungle
jade holly
#

So is Vashtorr then a Greater Daemon?

storm jungle
#

Daemon Primarchs are also daemon princes

storm jungle
languid meadow
#

^

storm jungle
#

the lore outright says as much

arctic talon
#

Vashtorr is a demi god/very big daemon

storm jungle
#

which is an important distinction

arctic talon
#

Demi god is most accurate though

storm jungle
#

the "demi-god" bit puts him leagues above Princes

near wasp
#

Vashtoor is a primordial daemon

jade holly
#

Aka actually has a shot to become a chaos god unlike Betakor chadgryn

celest dome
#

He is of a different Aetheric Domain than the 4 Great Chaos Gods

arctic talon
#

he posses his own domain

languid meadow
#

I hope he gets the GHR treatment but I know he wont

arctic talon
#

yeah he's of a different Aetheric domain in 40k

#

in AoS/WHFB he might exist

wintry cloud
storm jungle
#

but we are talking like

arctic talon
#

bcs of the master of the Forge of Souls

storm jungle
#

IRL 10 years or so

arctic talon
#

lol

#

I think its gona be 15

storm jungle
#

because they are REALLY pushing him

arctic talon
#

lol

#

I give it 5 editions

jade holly
#

Great Horned Rat treatment?

arctic talon
#

for his ascension

storm jungle
#

they'll also likely make the IW his legion

wintry cloud
#

yeah hes doing so much in the backround right now

#

moving the plot forward

storm jungle
#

GW is already combining them on tabletop

arctic talon
vagrant fox
languid meadow
#

maybe even more DM stuff as well

jade holly
languid meadow
#

I would prefer dark mechanicum over any fuck ass legion ngl

arctic talon
near wasp
#

He's shown up in multiple books recently

arctic talon
#

thats just what you call black people 💀

jade holly
#

and his domain would the dark side of creation, Innovation and Modification?

celest dome
#

Honestly if GW made the other Aetheric domain be used, I don't necessarily think Vashtor would be the new god

vagrant fox
#

I forgot the slur lmbo

arctic talon
#

Don't type it

#

smh

storm jungle
#

^

#

his domain is the Forge of Souls

wintry cloud
#

hes artifice or something

arctic talon
#

Vashtor is Malevolent Artifice

#

The Emperor is Encroaching Ruin

jade holly
arctic talon
#

Malice is Ravanous Dissolution

languid meadow
#

ew I forgot he's like an angry small person in this art

arctic talon
#

Thats what GW has made obvious

#

so far lol

#

in terms of behavior

#

or just straight up saying it

#

the Aetheric domains to not apply to AoS/WHFB

wintry cloud
arctic talon
#

Malice has always been canon

storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

malal has never been canon to 40k

languid meadow
#

I do think 40k is missing the flavour of the warp that fantasy and aos have

celest dome
languid meadow
#

Malice is ignored but at least Vashtorr is getting something

arctic talon
#

the Aetheric domains are explictly the insane ramblings of Inqusitors and Tech Priests coalated into a basic understanding of it

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

So take them with a grain of salt

#

ultimately

storm jungle
#

AOS and WHF's take on chaos is like

#

extremely philosophical

#

and surprisingly deep

#

40k is very generic

arctic talon
#

they attack other daemons regularly

#

and turn on each other

storm jungle
#

and i say this as a 40k fangirl lol

languid meadow
#

We're missing a Hashutt but I guess Vashtorr KIND OF fits that

arctic talon
#

Hashut isn't industry related

#

people always forget this

languid meadow
#

ah yeah

#

he's fucking

arctic talon
#

Hashut has nothing to do with the Chaos Dwarves being industrialized

arctic talon
#

storm jungle
#

they are gods of reality

#

languid meadow
#

FUCK I'm a FRAUD

storm jungle
#

arctic talon
#

like deadass Hashut is just Bane

#

LOL

languid meadow
#

I forgot Bane existed lmfao

arctic talon
#

He's the chaos god of Fire and Tyranny

#

so yeah he's Bane

storm jungle
#

hes my favorite primarch

#

wait wrong universe

languid meadow
#

but yeah maybe Malice will get something (NO the fuck he wont lmao)

arctic talon
#

He has many evil industrialists under his command

#

Malice is neglected in every GW system

#

LOL

languid meadow
#

he need more smaller warp entities that do shit

storm jungle
languid meadow
#

Vashtorr the goat

arctic talon
#

Fucks sake the Raptor God has more lol

#

I want the Raptor god in AoS because I'm boring

#

and unimaginative

wintry cloud
jade holly
#

What are the most plausible guesses as to what Vashtorr and Perturabo work on together?

languid meadow
#

but yeah Hashut and GHR make Chaos way more interesting in fantasy and AoS

jade holly
#

Obv new Daemon Engines

arctic talon
#

oh yeah btw did you guys see how they made one of Malice's buddies in AoS

limpid granite
#

I could maybe see pestigors in darktide

languid meadow
#

Vashtorr seems to fucking hate the iron warriors

arctic talon
#

the "Smiling God"

languid meadow
#

let me find the passage

arctic talon
#

Vashtorr fucking hates mortals

#

vashtorr is like

#

mega racist to meat bags

#

he genuinely hates mortals so much

#

its absurd

languid meadow
#

I don't blame him

storm jungle
#

^

#

we deserve it

arctic talon
#

LOL

wintry cloud
jade holly
arctic talon
#

I want vashtorr in AoS

storm jungle
#

Anyway 50000000000000000 chaos-dollars to the Forge of Souls

arctic talon
#

I want vashtorr in AoS

limpid granite
arctic talon
#

500000000000 more Souls to the forge of souls

storm jungle
#

that was all an act

jade holly
arctic talon
#

he got summoned by them

storm jungle
#

people overhype that scene so much

arctic talon
#

the ritual was faulty

vagrant fox
#

The aos greed is sickening

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

he didn't get bound properly

celest dome
#

I don't want Vashtorr to be in AoS as I don't think there would be enough Industry to cause the domain to open up

languid meadow
#

Honestly I could see Vashtorr having the same relationship with his followers as Hashut does with Chorfs (FOR DIFFERENT REASONS OF COURSE)

storm jungle
#

they also assumed Vashtorr was an arrogant small fry

Then he revealed this wasnt even himself, it was just some avatar projection lmao

arctic talon
#

but yeah Zuvassin is in AoS

limpid granite
#

Ah

arctic talon
#

as "the smiling one"

#

which is cool

jade holly
#

I Just assume if a chaos god or something very powerful lets you hold them like a hostage, they’re doing that because they want something from you and haven’t broken free yet because they haven’t gotten it yet

arctic talon
#

we got 2 of the 3 from Malal's wave back

#

lol

languid meadow
#

a

wintry cloud
languid meadow
#

arctic talon
#

Malice, and "the smiling one"

#

Necoho 🙏

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

yeah all thats left is Necoho

#

he's the only one to like

#

not come back yet

#

in any form

#

Malal and Zuvassin are both back

storm jungle
#

People misinformation'd that scene SO MUCH

#

because no one read to the end of the book

#

where Vashtorr is like

#

"okay im done playing along"

#

lmao

arctic talon
#

he tears out everyones arms

jade holly
arctic talon
#

lol

#

among many other things

storm jungle
#

he warns them

#

5 TIMES

#

He legit wants to strike a deal

jade holly
#

What was the actual context of that scene? The memes have corrupted my memory of it

storm jungle
#

but the IW are so arrogant that they enever do it

#

and hes like

#

"Okay i guess lmao"

#

slaughters them

arctic talon
#

Like

storm jungle
#

then of course the IW kneels

arctic talon
#

He leaves them mutilated but alive

storm jungle
#

and pledges lmao

arctic talon
#

explictly btw

#

💀

#

not that they're gona live for long

#

with all their everything torn out

#

LOL

jade holly
#

Wait, could Vashtorr be the key to bringing Chaos Androids back fully?

limpid granite
#

How tf would vashtorr influence cawl

languid meadow
storm jungle
limpid granite
wintry cloud
storm jungle
#

^

#

Anything Cawl does feeds Vashtorr

#

it isnt that complex tbh

arctic talon
#

yeah

languid meadow
#

Cawl is like the only motherfucker doing anything in the imperium and prob has the most access to empower him

arctic talon
#

tech priests in general feed the fucker

storm jungle
#

^

jade holly
arctic talon
#

but cawl feeds vashtorr the most

#

like

#

by far

#

out of any tech priest

languid meadow
#

even over the dark mechanicum since they don't have access to the same resources

celest dome
#

Will we ever get a confirmation on which Domain the GHR is containing ?

languid meadow
#

like it's a water fountain compared to an ocean

jade holly
celest dome
#

Formless or Ravenous right ?

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

its literally what he is rn

arctic talon
#

the Aetheric domains are also explictly innacurate and incomplete

storm jungle
#

he faces ZERO opposition

#

like the books constantly say

#

OH HES UNDER THREAT

#

OH HES CONSTANTLY PRESSURED

#

but we see none of that

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

Cawl's books are like

jade holly
arctic talon
#

eh

storm jungle
#

a guy appears accusing him on behalf of the Inquisition

#

and he just talks around it

arctic talon
#

they're like 7/10 lol

storm jungle
#

and people ignore it

#

lol

storm jungle
#

the annoying thing is like

#

Cawl is legit a very fun character to read

arctic talon
#

I want him to fail

#

lol

languid meadow
storm jungle
#

but his "status" as a plot device is extremely annoying

arctic talon
#

yeah

languid meadow
#

"YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOTS IM THE ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING!"

storm jungle
#

throw Cawl in the deathstar trash chute NOW

near wasp
#

The trial of cawl is the best chapter in any book

limpid granite
#

I wouldnt expect less from a dude whose lived 10k years

jade holly
#

I really hope the Dragon in Mars being the Void Dragon is real, it would be so hilarious

limpid granite
#

Close to 13k now

storm jungle
#

its the void dragon

celest dome
#

The Dragon is indeed a Shard

storm jungle
#

its basically outright confirmd for years now

#

but yeah its a shard

languid meadow
#

as long as it isn't the omnissiah we're good

storm jungle
#

a strong one

hollow lantern
#

still mad the void dragon isnt literally a dragon

jade holly
celest dome
#

And it communicate with a human Psyker ? I think

languid meadow
#

since that would be BORING

storm jungle
#

but its indeed technically not "confirmed"

#

but the amount of necron references to it is like

arctic talon
#

if its not a void dragon shard

storm jungle
#

"okay GW we get it"

arctic talon
#

it would be kind of fucking weird

#

at this point

#

lol

storm jungle
#

^

#

literally all hints point towards VD

jade holly
#

It’s gonna be so hilarious when it eventually manages to break free

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

it might just get shot to shit

#

💀

near wasp
#

It wont

celest dome
#

We don't even know if it is trying to

arctic talon
#

we have no clue what the status of it is

#

and yeah

languid meadow
#

also I love how human Cawl is despite being older than dirt

arctic talon
#

we don't even know if its trying to escape

jade holly
arctic talon
#

there's a guardian

celest dome
#

Like it's even communicating via a kid

arctic talon
#

but it seems symbollic more then anything

#

lol

jade holly
#

Yeah true, maybe he enjoys being worshipped again

arctic talon
#

its not being worshipped though

#

its not the Omnissiah

jade holly
#

Yeah fair

arctic talon
#

well

#

sorta

vagrant fox
#

Cawl showing up to Sotha after it's completely stripped bare by nids and saying I can fix this ez 🙂

arctic talon
#

tbf

#

the nids didn't completely strip it

storm jungle
#

no

arctic talon
#

explictly

storm jungle
#

shut up

limpid granite
#

The void dragon is the machine spirit right?

arctic talon
#

no

#

The void dragon is c'tan

vagrant fox
#

Shoo don't contradict me

arctic talon
#

machine spirits are a bunch of different fucking things

jade holly
#

One of the most powerful C’tan if memory serves

limpid granite
#

...

arctic talon
#

Ranging from psychic imprints to AI fragments to actual Ai

limpid granite
#

I thought for a very long time that the machine spirit was the void dragon

languid meadow
storm jungle
lament shoal
#

Is the knight/titan warhorn the machine spirit doing a battlecry or nah

languid meadow
#

Leftover AI is my fav

jade holly
languid meadow
#

I want the Omnissiah to be a god AI like Anubis

storm jungle
celest dome
storm jungle
#

one of the shorts has a story like this

arctic talon
#

Crime is peak

#

I loveed that one

#

lol

storm jungle
#

where the guy is trying to solve a murder in some rich aristocrat house

#

and the twist is the killer was an AI possessing the House

#

and protecting the family

#

its very neat

limpid granite
#

I do like the machine spirit being the void dragon

languid meadow
#

AI are some of the best parts of 40k

lament shoal
storm jungle
#

100%

storm jungle
#

its a psychological weapon

languid meadow
#

the overly used example being UR and the DAOT ship

lament shoal
#

Gotcha, ty

languid meadow
#

also the one in the arch mechanicus

storm jungle
#

i love robots in fiction for that reason

#

their entire idea is servitude/slaveryt

#

so its nice to see them "free" in 40k

languid meadow
#

the DAOT one is a bit heartwarming since it seemed to actually give a shit about the crew

#

until you know the apes showed up

storm jungle
#

Yeah it literally said "fuck you all, im leaving"

languid meadow
#

Also plays into the fact that the men of iron uprising wasn't as black and white

jade holly
#

So wait

languid meadow
#

in which a lot of AI prob sided with humanity in some regard

#

just to be wiped out and hated

jade holly
#

In terms of C’tan shards I know one is in Mars, and another is now with Ammentar and waking him up

storm jungle
jade holly
#

Do we know where Mepet’ran is?

storm jungle
#

AND funnily humanity literally later made peace with them

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Tbf Terminators aren't even a robot uprising lol

languid meadow
#

Skynet is weird

storm jungle
#

Its 1 rogue AI basically

celest dome
jade holly
arctic talon
#

Skynet is an algorithim thing

#

that went wrong

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

Also like

#

Skynet literally did the job the US military wanted it to do

#

LMAO

languid meadow
#

it's either genocidal insane or ends up making peace and doing a fucking utopia with humanity

limpid granite
#

Nekrosor just casually having a tsar bomb in his pocket

arctic talon
#

its not a proper sentient/sapient AI

languid meadow
#

let me find the comic

arctic talon
#

which is really fun

#

imo

languid meadow
arctic talon
#

well

jade holly
#

Skynet acted on pure logic with no morality and ethics in the way

languid meadow
#

on the timeline

arctic talon
#

my knowledge of terminator is weak

#

lol

#

but thats just what I learned

#

💀

jade holly
#

It did what it was tasked to do

languid meadow
#

Skynet in some timelines is either just a rogue machine or a thinking living being

limpid granite
#

Its a real damn shame that the nightbringer was leaked so early

vagrant fox
#

AM just did what it was supposed to do don't hate my boy

limpid granite
#

Wouldve been an insane anouncement alongside nekrosor

celest dome
#

Iirc, movie wise it's not sentient, it's just accomplishing a task, but comics, games and stuff imply it being a full AI at some point

jade holly
storm jungle
storm jungle
#

its why he has no material

limpid granite
#

So my guess is sm3 will continue with nekrosor

arctic talon
#

Ammentar really does not have much to him lol

storm jungle
#

hes perfect for SM3 as hes just a generic killer necron

celest dome
#

I really want more stories where AI are treated by working class people as colleagues that need to join the worker union rather than enemy

arctic talon
#

he's more force of nature then complex character

jade holly
hollow lantern
#

Yk what I want? More stuff about the glass throne.

arctic talon
#

not really?

storm jungle
arctic talon
storm jungle
#

Human hate of robots is also just very icky in general

#

people joke about it but if artificial life existed we'd absolutely kill it

#

our ape-like mindset of hating anything different than us is supreme lol

vagrant fox
#

You'd think the Imperial Fist chapter master would have some development but not all of these characters matter

jade holly
hollow lantern
#

You ever watch Chappie?

hollow lantern
#

You seem like a Chappie fan.

limpid granite
storm jungle
storm jungle
#

also its not really Chappie

#

i just like robots in general

limpid granite
#

And has necron dynasties fear him

hollow lantern
#

Depends on the robot for me.

limpid granite
#

So maybe a necron ultramarine allience in sm3

storm jungle
#

Iron Giant, Real Steel, Wall-E, etc

hollow lantern
#

Big fan of Chappie tho

languid meadow
#

also in some timelines there are two AIs in the terminator universe

#

sometimes 3

jade holly
# arctic talon he literally is that

Like I know he is but showing that influence more in stories going forward, like whenever destroyers are around you feel his presence even if he’s not there

hollow lantern

Skynet with the US

one of the newest timelines has the one in Japan save it from skynet before taking over

Wall-E is peak

Hot take: Blackout was the coolest thing the Bayverse movies ever gave us

hollow lantern

Gotcha

#

Man I wish I was home so I could slave away at darktide

hollow lantern
#

I love that whole pseudo trilogy tbh

District 9, Chappie, Elysium

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings

The TF2 story with the pilot

Iron Giant gets a pass for being good

opaque coyote
arctic talon
daring creek
#

Isn't the Iron Giant designed to be a weapon or am I getting it wrong entirely

arctic talon
#

but they're kind of slaves

vagrant fox
#

Kent Mansley is so cool

arctic talon
#

Titan AI's main goal is to protect their Pilot/Accomplish mission paramaters

#

its hard coded into them

#

they're slaves to their functions despite being sentient and sapient

languid meadow
#

that's the issue with a lot of 80s properties

opaque coyote
languid meadow
#

Aliens
Predator
Terminator
these 3 have such a shit time making any cohesive universe

hollow lantern
#

Iron Giant's entire premise iirc is "what if a gun had a soul?"

languid meadow
#

yea

daring creek
#

Wait can transformers really be considered robots
