He's tired of the late game grind

opaque coyote
#

Vashtorr is somebody who refuses to use a ""new"" exp farming method out of sheer spite

#

Honestly I like to compare Chaos Gods to Late stage capitalism

#

Because

A) It's funny

#

B) it fits surprisingly well on how to explain the hierarchy and ladder

#

Basically

The Chaos Gods are like big tech companies rn

#

Technically not monopolies but they are in complete control of their respective niches

#

Like how Amazon is the most popular for delivery

#

Each Cultist is the lowest ranking employee. Signed on with the promise of the work benefits

#

Immortality (Healthcare plan), Boons (payment), etc.

#

But they slowly realize that these benefits have fine print, or are usually impossible to get

#

With other higher ranking employees encouraging a constant grind (faith in the gods)

#

To become a higher ranking employee, you have to fuck over your peers.

#

But even then, due to bad luck, you might get fired and stuck in a life of homelessness due to being out of a job (Chaos Spawn)

storm jungle
#

Me when i discover the concept of exploitation and labor

opaque coyote
#

Chaos is really just that but on a huge scale

Karl Marx would love labubu and Dubai chocolate

Would he have nail extensions

Labubu vs Funk Pop

lament shoal
#

Be all girlypop

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

He was also an economist

fervent geode
arctic talon
#

You know what Marx said about some queer people and sex workers right lol

opaque coyote
#

And economists are ironically very bad at investments

fervent geode
arctic talon
#

Marx identified everything wrong with capitalism then came up with the shittiest solutions ever

#

Then complained about other communists

#

10/10

arctic talon
#

He’s like almost every other communist intellectual

fervent geode
#

Marx was very good as seeing things, not good at fixing

opaque coyote
#

Which like

limpid granite
#

dont read on what he thought of nigerians at the time

opaque coyote
#

A lot of people were homophobic at the time

#

Obviously

arctic talon
opaque coyote
fervent geode
opaque coyote
#

And also how putting the power of things like a country's fucking economy onto a single person or several people's hands is

#

Bad

#

...cough

#

Tbf there also shouldn't be no regulation either

#

Which leads to the popular argument of "How much should the government interfere with the economy?"

#

With varied answers and results

fervent geode
#

Dictatorship of the working class inevitably turns into the rule of a new ruling class ostensibly from the proletariat but self serving and against their best interests

opaque coyote
#

But generally most (sane) people can agree that either ends of the extreme are dogshit and does not work

fervent geode
#

Bakunin predicted the Nomenklatura

vagrant fox
#

the dang horse?

fervent geode
#

The Soviet Ruling Class of Bureaucrats and Party Officials who live better than most of the proletarian masses horse, yes

opaque coyote
#

Because Enshittification isn't innovation

#

It's the opposite

#

It hampers services and applications to squeeze money out of people or for some other benefit. Usually to provide the exact same service, just worse

#

And lately things like Tesla are much less advanced than Chinese ECs

#

So it makes me think that extremes in both economies eventually lead to innovation stagnation to a degree

fervent geode
# opaque coyote But generally most (sane) people can agree that either ends of the extreme are d...

My economics teacher taught me this, capital grows monstrous in the hands of the self serving if unrestrained, ending innovation and new products to protect existing production lines, yet if the state completely seizes the means of producton there will be no competition driven innovation leading to stagnation and possible economic control by a ruling class akin to a statist version of capitalist oligarchy

#

Or something i slept in class whenever i could

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

But eventually when the trust funders and the oligarchs arise they quickly seize all of it and restrain it to serve them

opaque coyote
#

I would argue that communism also does in the beginning.

But both systems have a form of rot in general

#

Both for the exact same reason.

An Oligarchy taking control and cutting it off for their own purposes

fervent geode
arctic talon
#

This is why they should make me supreme ruler so I can reshape society with an iron fist/j

opaque coyote
#

Then again I am not an economist so idk

fervent geode
#

Not for long though

opaque coyote
#

Arguably

lament shoal
fervent geode
#

Easier for a ruling nomenclature to arise in statist structures

arctic talon
#

No me

#

I deserve to be god king

vagrant fox
#

I am more virtuous and selfless I should be god emperor

fervent geode

#

Tbh China is basically State Capitalist now

#

Deng Dengified it

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

Ancap doesnt work lmfao

#

Even Hayek says so

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Dengism fixed “communism” by making it state capitalism

fervent geode
arctic talon
#

lol

fervent geode
opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Like BioShock as a game is literally just take every ideal Ayn Rand presents

fervent geode
#

She wasnt very respected among the economist community, for obvious reasons

opaque coyote
#

And then showing exactly

#

How it goes wrong

#

Along with extra magical drugs to add to the chaos

arctic talon
#

Rand is stupid

opaque coyote
#

Oh 100%

#

She was also incredibly stubborn and basically did a lot of

#

"LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

#

To anybody who tried to criticize her

fervent geode
#

Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged and then got a bunch of insane cultists

#

Then she decided to either go insane or mask off

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

Probably mask off

opaque coyote
#

And I wish I could use it

fervent geode
opaque coyote
#

But they would all mistake it for the fucking book

#

FUCK

fervent geode
#

But after she defo went insane

#

Btw

opaque coyote
#

If you analyze it for a bit

fervent geode
#

ATLAS SHRUGGED IS A NOVEL

opaque coyote
#

Like every single idea she presents

fervent geode
#

NOT A ECONOMIC TEXT SHE WASNT AN ECONOMIST

opaque coyote
#

It's her version of a utopia

fervent geode
opaque coyote
#

Basically

fervent geode
#

Its fucking bioshcok

#

As you said

opaque coyote
#

And without drugs

fervent geode
#

Great

opaque coyote
#

And it somehow goes well

#

Ignoring logic entirely

fervent geode
#

I think she abandoned logic at some point and just went on

opaque coyote
#

I suggest you read it, it's absolutely awful. But it's worth reading because it's basically a showing of how people can imagine utopias

#

But they are obviously biased because it's THEIR utopia

opaque coyote
#

And it wouldn't fit for others

fervent geode
opaque coyote
#

It's similar to how

#

The original concept of Utopia had slaves

#

Like the original Greek utopia

#

It kinda shows how Utopias... well if they are possible, then we are far from ever being there

#

And it might not be worth the cost

fervent geode
#

Utopia is a pipedream generally

opaque coyote
#

Utopias and Dystopias are valuable though

fervent geode
#

True

opaque coyote
#

Like how Superman is the ideal hero

fervent geode
#

They show you something

opaque coyote
#

To the point where ""deconstructing"" him is a tired trope itself

fervent geode
#

Its not possible but we can aspire to be close to something, and wholly avoid becoming something else

opaque coyote
#

And even then most of the time they don't really deconstruct him

#

Like Superman had a stable upbringing

#

Note how none of the "evil versions" ever had that

#

At least the famous ones

#

Homelander was experimented on as a kid and was basically tortured. It was obvious that he was gonna be a shit person

#

Omniman was raised in a eugenicist fascist empire and literally never knew love until he came to Earth

#

That's why he changed ironically enough

#

On an unrelated note

#

I wish for more viltrum content

#

Specifically before the (comic spoilers?) ||plague that killed most of them||

#

Cause the comic didn't really go into detail on how their society was

#

And we never get to see many glimpses of things like their government and day to day lives

#

Honestly an episode focusing on that would be interesting

#

Especially if the PoV is somebody like Conquest having a flashback

fervent geode
#

Tbh yeah

#

Id like to see like at least one show about viltrum, maybe like an invincible better call saul

opaque coyote
#

Counts as contraband since cows aren't in rapture for obvious reasons

#

Too costly to feed

#

How can it be a utopia when you can't get a cheeseburger smh

opaque coyote
#

While most of her successors and ardent supporters now hate trains

#

So

opaque coyote
#

Also for all of her talk of rational self interest. In general she really didn't follow it throughout her life

#

Her inner circle was basically a cult

#

She justified her affair with Nathaniel Brandon as two titans of philosophy engaging in a consensual union!

#

Problem was that she was FUCKING MARRIED

#

Same with Brandon

#

And when Brandon himself sought to pursue a new intimate relationship

#

She disowned him from her circle and dehumanized him among her followers

#

She was only interested in self interest when it was for her

#

She also had a sexual thing for a guy who kidnapped and murdered a girl

#

So she would've been one of the women who loved Ted Bundy

#

Her philosophy was never a philosophy

It was a woman's attempt to control the world around her

I wonder if people think of Rand as a girlboss nowadays.

but I just feel bad for the devs

But I still had fun on it

And that’s the important thing

It’s like a solid 5 to 6/10 game

It’s mid to above it but like

Wasn't the issue that it's yet another hero shooter like 6+ years late to the party

It was more like Apex

That’s the big thing, it didn’t advertise itself well

spring cairn

nothing to ride home abouatr

jade holly
#

For the longest time people thought it was a hero shooter

spring cairn
#

i dinnt get to play it so i don't judge

#

but it was doa cuz of the reception

#

even if it had been a 10 it would've died

jade holly

It’s not closing until the 12th

winter pine

Being a regular battle royale probably isn't cutting it now

vagrant fox

or aspics I suppose

#

Between it suddenly becoming very easy to make and it being a food for the rich it just got crazy

#

Fridges and boxes to make the stuff made it very easy all of a sudden

#

It did decline in the 70s and 80s but folk had decent cameras and whatnot then

Speaking of food, hear me out. This shit goes hard.

also brands would release little free pamphlets full of recipes that used their product as a marketing thing

mostly pure dogshit recipes

📰 Highguard’s final update arriving soon. Thank you for playing with us.
Today we’re sharing difficult news. We have made the decision to permanently shut down Highguard on March 12.

Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard’s world. You shared feedback, created content, and many believed in what we were building. For that, we are deeply grateful.

Despite the passion and hard work of our team, we have not been able to build a sustainable player base to support the game long term. Servers will remain online until March 12th. We hope you’ll jump in with us one more time to show your support and get those final great matches in while we still can.

The team is excited to release one final game update to enjoy in the remaining life of the game. We'll be adding a new Warden, a new weapon, account level progression, and skill trees! Full patch notes are coming, and we're targeting tonight or tomorrow morning for patch release.

From all of us…

vagrant fox
storm jungle

He likely means the new cadian minis

sterile sun
#

primaris in the sense that they refreshed their chunky ass helmets and got different pattern lasguns

storm jungle

GW simply wanted to upgrade the minis because the old Cadian guardsmen were chunky as fuck and looked weird, its just new molds

#

and they still use kantreals

#

its in the kit

sterile sun

yeah ive bought a few of those lasguns

storm jungle

the barrels are just longer

Ah yeah it's just new molds and a bit upgraded aesthetics

That would check out.

yeah, she lets Nichols took her in, in exchange he mutilate himself too

heady rivet
storm jungle
#

yeah lmao

arctic talon
#

but catachan have consistantly been

#

extremely popular

#

since their introduction

storm jungle
#

Yeah the rambo shit is great for marketing

arctic talon

Even though their minis are old as fuck now

heady rivet
#

They're blowing up Catachan next

arctic talon
#

LOL

zenith prairie
#

.....one day, steel legion will get theres

arctic talon
#

the truth that hurts every single person who likes a guard regiment who got discontinued

storm jungle
#

They will tbh

#

just not anytime soon

arctic talon
#

is that they weren't popular enough

storm jungle
#

lmao

arctic talon
#

There's no other reason

#

they lost the popularity contest lol

vagrant fox
#

Catachan don't deserve it, give the Steel Legion a chance to show their value

heady rivet
#

In the future you only get a range refresh if your planet gets blowed up

arctic talon
#

my favorite regiment is gona be in hell forever bruh

storm jungle
#

Also Elite i need spoilers, whats the main synopsis of the Krieg book, like setting/planet + whos the enemy

arctic talon
#

Vostroyans are stuck in heck

vagrant fox
#

Honestly when the Athonian Tunnel Rats got into Darktide it was infinitely more than I'd ever hoped to see

zenith prairie
#

Does anyone like the praetorians?

#

Feels like they'll never come back

heady rivet
storm jungle
#

the best part is for such a "who" regiment their cosmetics fucking SLAPPED

storm jungle
#

racially insensitive-ish

#

so that might be why lol

arctic talon
# storm jungle Also Elite i need spoilers, whats the main synopsis of the Krieg book, like sett...

Tau are the main villain and they're terrifying as shown
plot from the thing is

Commissars attached to the Death Korps of Krieg often have to rein in their regiment’s zeal as often as they inspire their troops, and that’s exactly the situation in which Valian Hesh finds himself. Separated from his own regiment and stranded on the dying world of Rezlan VI, Hesh is ordered to find the 472nd Siege Regiment of the Death Korps of Krieg and make them withdraw from the doomed planet – not an easy task as they ready themselves for a final suicidal assault on T’au Empire lines.

vagrant fox
#

Colonial stuff isn't so hot right now

arctic talon
#

Like

#

this is genuinely the most terrifying tau depiction in any book

#

that isn't Dark Coil

#

lol

heady rivet
arctic talon
#

which has the IRL accurate drone striker Shas O'bama himself in command

zenith prairie
#

please no

vagrant fox
#

There's Kroot and I finally see, I love them now

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

In a sense

#

lemme grab what the author had to say

storm jungle
#

Yeah i was gonna assume its like Ukraine-tier stuff

#

which is how the Tau would normally fight

arctic talon
heady rivet
arctic talon
#

mfw Shas O'bama orders a drone strike of 500 Remora's

storm jungle
#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

and I am obliterated from existence

storm jungle
#

Yeah my favorite kinds of books when done well are the one where oyu NEVER get a POV of the enemy

arctic talon
#

I'd like to thank our most drone strike happy president for having an O as the start of his name

#

so I can butcher it for a Fire Caste fireblade or commander name

vagrant fox
#

It's honestly quite good, I'll finish the book tomorrow

heady rivet
zenith prairie
#

A good kreig book? Really?

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

the author actively hates krieg fandom

vagrant fox
#

Yea

storm jungle
#

which is one of the biggest selling points

zenith prairie
#

Thats neat

arctic talon
#

he hates the stupid fandom image of Krieg

#

Which is good

storm jungle
#

^

#

I have a friend whos in a server with him and he REALLY wants to show the Korp as they would be "normally"

#

Like I hate krieg but even im gonna read it

arctic talon
#

Also you want to know whats hilarious

#

Rhuairidh James has done one serious 40k short story aside from this one

heady rivet
arctic talon
#

the rest of his stuff is liek

#

way more comedic/lightly toned

#

it all Red Gobbo stuff

#

he's really showing his stuff lol

zenith prairie
#

I just remember not caring for Lyons stuff, and then the memes came

storm jungle
#

Yeah because Lyons sucks

#

like, no offense to him but holy shit

arctic talon
#

Lyons is like

#

fine

storm jungle
#

EVERY Krieg book he writers EVERY ONE is the same

arctic talon
#

his best book was the first

storm jungle
#

I think his issue is he just doesnt try anything.

vagrant fox
#

Lyons is uh, well I like some of the stuff in his stories

arctic talon
#

because it was refreshing and new at the time

#

Lyon is very repetitive for Krieg

#

unfortunately

storm jungle
#

^

#

which is bad because hes the only guy that writes for them

#

ithink i lost any shred of respect i had for him after reading his Vraks novel

#

what a slog

arctic talon
#

Well maybe Rhuairidh will write more

#

lol

#

Called vraks

#

doesn't even go over the interesting parts of Vraks

storm jungle
#

^

arctic talon
#

what did Lyons mean by this

vagrant fox
#

Lyons'll have a really cool scene and then it's just meh

storm jungle
#

Lyons forgot Krieg are like the least interesting part of Vraks lol

arctic talon
#

well Krieg are interesting in specific parts

#

lol

#

the issue is they skip them

storm jungle
#

My favorite part was like

arctic talon
#

why?

Fuck if I know

storm jungle
#

he sees Tyborc from the OG story and goes

#

"hrmmm hes like my OC ill have Rex recruit him"

#

like, okay

#

so?

#

lmao

arctic talon
#

but the siege regiments in the DKOK slowly breaking apart in both morale and spirit throughout Vraks is like

#

the best part of the Imperial armor books

#

before they fucking snap

storm jungle
#

dont forget the administratum also uncaringly sabotaging the entire campaign lmao

arctic talon
#

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

#

I lovev the administratum

storm jungle
#

"Still not done yet? Aight we're taking more supplies away"

#

same

#

you NEVER see this in any other 40k book

vagrant fox
#

Administratum is so cool

zenith prairie
#

Sounds about right

arctic talon
#

every member of the guard regiments left gets no spare ammo

#

or grenades

storm jungle
#

but basically get the book

arctic talon
#

the fucking wargame scenario for Vraks is hilarious

#

near the "breaking point" of the guard

#

you litearlly dont' get grenades, all morale is at conscript levels

#

and vehicles get half movement

#

bcs of fucking fuel conservation

#

because the administratum has Fucked you

vagrant fox
#

Lyons short story about a randon krieg guy slowly breaking out of his conditioning is so neat and then he does all the rest

arctic talon
#

yes you the player

zenith prairie
storm jungle
#

Trust us

#

we know

zenith prairie
#

but it sounds neat

storm jungle
#

LMAO

vagrant fox
#

Understandable

zenith prairie
#

Honestly, dont even hate em. Just not cup of tea

storm jungle
#

Entirely fair

vagrant fox
#

I do love Krieg but also I don't at all and the fans should be destroyed

storm jungle
#

yeah like considering a AUTHOR of 40k is like

#

"holy shit this fandom of theirs is annoying"

#

should tell you everything lol

vagrant fox
#

Every time I see happy gasmask noise I do that Sideshow Bob grumble

storm jungle
#

Its such a lame ass old joke too

#

from like fucking 2012

winter pine
#

need another trailer involving an Ork burna boy lighting up a Krieger to balance things out tbqh

zenith prairie
#

They dont even use shovels for meele, they axe things

storm jungle
#

the krieg screams were like music to my ears tbh

storm jungle
#

THEY USE TRENCH CLUBS

#

AND PEOPLE STILL SEE SHOVELS

#

AAA-

arctic talon
#

they got hand axes as an upgrade in killteam

#

its nice

storm jungle
#

Damn it

#

i was wrong

arctic talon
#

but you're correct on the clubs thing

zenith prairie
arctic talon
#

its clubs, hand axes, normal guard melee weapons

storm jungle
#

yeah fair, tho god i remember when their killteam came out and people saw the clubs and were like

vagrant fox
#

Also Trogdor is hella cool

storm jungle
#

"IS THAT THE SHOVEL OF 87????"

#

no

arctic talon
#

this fuckin thing

storm jungle
#

ITS A FUCKING STICK

arctic talon
#

This is what they use to hack people to death with

zenith prairie
arctic talon
#

its main purpose is technically as a multi use tool for removing barbed wire/cutting wood/breaking up small rocks

#

but its also great at horrifically hacking apart an Ork

#

in KT2e's release for Octarius its literally said its against regulation to use hand axes as a backup melee weapon

vagrant fox
#

As much as I'd like to see sharpened shovels in some random defence a la real ww1 I really don't also

arctic talon
#

but Veteran DKOK members do not give a shit because its useful for hacking apart people

storm jungle
#

also Elite last question so spoiler it for others but what is the entire "evacuating the planet" plot like in the book? Are they like actually gonna do it or is it setup where they'll overtake the Tau positions and win the battle?

I assume not because im assuming theres an entire fucking tau war battallion on the planet after they vaporized most of the IG lol

#

Im a sucker for "last man off the world" tropes

vagrant fox
#

||the IG are more or less in full retreat except the DKOK who don't acknowledge some new leadership||

arctic talon
vagrant fox
#

At least for how far I've gotten

storm jungle
#

BASED

#

||a fucking hack writer would have made them win the end lmao||

#

but aigth ty

raven stone
#

Wait is this the new Krieg novel?

#

Just curious, don’t mind if Krieg end up eating Tau firepower head on.

vagrant fox
#

I look away for a second and have to physically restrain myself when I see clickable spoilers

#

Yea

arctic talon
raven stone
#

Ok good to see some writer bucking the trend

storm jungle
#

Yeah its in the synopsis too so no huge spoilers from that lol

arctic talon
#

Thank you league of legends

storm jungle
#

the author said as much which is great

vagrant fox
#

Between R S Wilt, Mike Vincent, and Rhuaridh James things are coming up Millhouse for BL

daring creek
# storm jungle **THEY USE TRENCH CLUBS**

Shovel doesn't even make for a great weapon in battle period. I shoveled my dads car and van out of the snow this week and I can't imagine using this thing as a side arm

#

like

#

You are going to get shot lmfao

vagrant fox
#

Mildly excited for future books

daring creek
#

Unless you're strong good luck doing anything more than being a mildly awkward annoyance

vagrant fox
#

They were used as impromptu axes in trenches, confined space and all

daring creek
#

kriegsmen also have knives im p sure

daring creek
#

like not even in the original book do they use shovels as a weapon

vagrant fox
#

Sharpened a lot too

sacred ginkgo
daring creek
#

though if kriegsmen do get another book

#

they are 100% shoveling someone

#

lmfao

raven stone
#

TBF WW1 troopers did use shovels as weapons before Krieg was even a meme.

vagrant fox
#

Not in the newest one at least

daring creek
#

oof.

#

which one is that

#

.

vagrant fox
#

Deathrider

daring creek
#

when did the like

#

shovel thing come from anyway

#

oh yeah speaking of death riders

#

why are they a thing and how are they effective

#

horses aren't in war anymore for a reason

#

its easy to shoot down an insanely emotional animal

arctic talon
vagrant fox
#

I assume it sprung out of someone hyper fixating on a random weapon used for trench fighting and the 40kheads need to run everything into the ground

arctic talon
daring creek
#

Still

#

doesn't make sense to me

arctic talon
#

And generally they’re not super effective but they’re mostly as flankers in open fields

vagrant fox
#

Warfare in 40k isn't very sensible

arctic talon
#

^

#

It’s the same reason you have jetbikes and bikes

vagrant fox
#

Rule of cool first

arctic talon
#

It’s cool to have cavalry

daring creek
#

is a horse just not falling after getting shot

#

is it the element of surprise

arctic talon
#

The horses are roided up to shit

vagrant fox
#

Krieg horses have subdermal armour, it's fine

#

Surprise helps sure

daring creek
arctic talon
#

Also they’re not using normal pointy sticks

#

They’re using power weapons or grenade lances

daring creek
#

those are explosive right

arctic talon
#

Yeah

daring creek
#

oh ok

arctic talon
#

Melta Lance fucking obliterates tanks

#

lol

#

Ultimately the guard isn’t too sorry about a bunch of people + animals dying in exchange for a bunch of crippled or destroyed tanks

daring creek
#

I can guess so

arctic talon
#

The krieg horses are also like absurdly fucked up

daring creek
#

I just think something like a motor cycle would be cooler

arctic talon
#

They got talons 💀

arctic talon
daring creek
#

with a extra seat

vagrant fox
#

There's enough of both to take the losses ez

arctic talon
#

Some regiments have motorcycle cav

#

Necromunda does

#

Cadians do

daring creek
#

Like a twin seated motor cycle with a grenadier on the side

#

that sounds sick as hell

#

theyve done that before right

arctic talon
#

I fuckin hate attack bikes

#

Those are a thing for marines

vagrant fox
#

The krieg horses having mandibles and claws is wack, why the mandibles

arctic talon
#

And they look stupid imo

daring creek
#

still

#

guards prevails or whatever

arctic talon
#

Its stupid

#

I hate it lol

vagrant fox
#

At least it's not the gocart

daring creek
#

i dont care for your hot wheels annoyance!!

arctic talon
#

Side car bikes have never looked good

daring creek
#

i just think it'd be really cool for them to have some makeshift bike

#

its about function...

vagrant fox
#

Doesn't quite work for marines

daring creek
#

but Im not talkin marines

arctic talon
#

just fucking kitbash your own guard bikers

vagrant fox
#

Guard are sloppy enough it'd work

arctic talon
#

lol

hollow lantern
#

I'm a sucker for land speeders tbh

vagrant fox
#

Kitbashing goes against GWs holy vision

arctic talon
#

incorrect

daring creek
#

You think kriegsmen would have this shit

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

because world war 1

vagrant fox
#

Shure

daring creek
#

so fuckin dumb lmfao

vagrant fox
#

Or the armed vespa

arctic talon
#

someone did catachan on hoveboards in an old white dwarf lol

vagrant fox
#

I do love the cannon vespa

vagrant fox
#

The skull is sensible

hollow lantern
#

Peak marine vehicle right here

daring creek
#

oh is that a landspeeder

vagrant fox
#

Better than the sidecar scooter

hollow lantern
#

Yes

arctic talon
#

and the Land Speeder Vengance

hollow lantern
#

Not a DA guy

arctic talon
#

literally all of these postions suck horrifically aside from the pilot

#

I'm ngl

hollow lantern
#

And I don't like storm speeders as much

arctic talon
#

next to two plasma cannons vs infront of the cockpit vs sensor array operator

#

the pilot is the only one remotely not fucked

#

and he's got a marine in front of his cabin

vagrant fox
#

Get rid of the front gunner and it'd at least look cool

arctic talon
#

agreed

#

it looks fucking stupid with the front gunner infront of the cockpit

cinder pivot
#

stupid indeed

arctic talon
#

actually wait did GW fucking design the stormspeeder bcs of the ways people complained about the vengeance lol

daring creek
#

are motor launcher servitors a thing

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

fucking brother Tinitus vs brother cooked by plasma

#

pick one

cinder pivot
#

the front gunner should have been next to the the space marine in the right-seat

daring creek
cinder pivot
#

coaxial postion

daring creek
#

gw stop stealing my fucking ideas before I have them

arctic talon
#

the storm speeder just has a big gun that faces only forward

#

which is a choice

#

ig its in line with the land speeders

#

like pilot mounted gun

daring creek
#

This is a little goofy I can't lie.

arctic talon
#

do you not like brother tinitus

#

don't worry alot of people remove him lol

daring creek
#

like.

arctic talon
#

I'm like 100% sure this was done in response to people complaining about the land speeder vengance

#

having the gunner have such a "big" area

daring creek
#

okay those 2 bars function like a cross hair practically

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

the land/storm speeder is fast as fuck

#

if that helps

daring creek
#

I guess so.

#

but.

arctic talon
#

its still silly

#

lol

#

but its not sillier then the rest of their designs imo

daring creek
#

at any moment your head could go missing

#

it feels so wrong.

arctic talon
#

speeders are silly and cool

arctic talon
cinder pivot
#

the tiny wings that can only hold one rocket each compared to the massive bulk of the main chassis is wonky

daring creek
#

I wanna see more now

#

this is hilarious

arctic talon
#

I like the scout battle bus a lot

daring creek
hollow lantern
#

Me too

arctic talon
vagrant fox
#

These are still better than the ATV

daring creek
#

That sounds neat.

arctic talon
#

The ATV is evil

daring creek
#

looks neat*

arctic talon
#

I don’t know if I hate it or the attack bike more

#

But im leaning towards hating the ATV more

hollow lantern
#

I hate the atv more tbh

vagrant fox
#

ATV definitely

arctic talon
#

I know some people hate the attack bike more

#

But the ATV feels too Orky lol

#

Bcs of the ork buggy

hollow lantern
#

The attack bike is dumb but the atv comes from a more modern era with generally less dumb\cheesy models so it really stands out as stupid imo

vagrant fox
#

Mario cart looking thing

arctic talon
#

Tbh i think we’re not getting anything dumb/cheesier then the new stormspeeders

#

The ATV and desolators were an outlier

hollow lantern
#

Storm speeders are too chunky

#

Ik I'm a flying landraider guy but storm speeder is very much a flying tank

vagrant fox
#

Desolators my hated

daring creek
#

icl i dont like seeing ultramarine figurines. I know thats their entire purpose but i get such fucking hasbro energy from it

#

eugh

#

When are ultramarines gonna be in a toy story movie

#

thats it

#

fucking

#

toy story

daring creek
#

i've felt an aversion to marine media after reading horus rising, I will probably still read, some. but I worry about it just being Hype and Aura now.

arctic talon
#

What do you guys think Jes Goodwin was thinking when he made desolators

#

lol

vagrant fox
hollow lantern
#

What's the concept art for em look like?

daring creek
#

Dante is definitely on my list

arctic talon
#

We dunno

daring creek
#

As I heard that book is the deconstruction of what a space marine is

arctic talon
#

But I wonder what it looks like

hollow lantern
#

It has to look better than the models right

daring creek
#

and that interests me greatly.

daring creek
#

I saw these guys in DOW

hollow lantern
#

The only space marine books I really truly love are the deathwatch books ngl

#

Which are never getting a proper ending

arctic talon
vagrant fox
daring creek
#

Yeah I don't want to get into a book/buy it physically and just get a sandwich of hype and aura

hollow lantern
arctic talon
#

I still wonder about the “heavier then terminator armor” thing he made was
