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)
Me when i discover the concept of exploitation and labor
Yeah

Chaos is really just that but on a huge scale
no
Karl Marx would love labubu and Dubai chocolate
The 1% have been revealed to be chaos worshippers and should be eradicated via exterminatus
i heard that dubai chocolate was made a trend to cover up some "acts" done in saudi arabia
you can guess what
He would use Engels money for 100 Labubus i cant blame him
He would absolutely get macha and complain about capitalism
Would he have nail extensions
Apparently he was actually what we would call a "Day trader"
Labubu vs Funk Pop
Be all girlypop
No
And he also fucking sucked at trading stocks
He was also an economist
Fr, in an interview you see his funkos pops behind him
You know what Marx said about some queer people and sex workers right lol
And economists are ironically very bad at investments
I know some, can confirm
I can guess lmao
Marx identified everything wrong with capitalism then came up with the shittiest solutions ever
Then complained about other communists
10/10
Yeah he was homophobic
He’s like almost every other communist intellectual
same thing with che
Marx was very good as seeing things, not good at fixing
dont read on what he thought of nigerians at the time
Is this why ATLUS transfemmed Che as a persona/hj
He mainly underestimated how greedy people can get
He was too utopian, you need a mix, i think bakunin called him out on this
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
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
But generally most (sane) people can agree that either ends of the extreme are dogshit and does not work
Bakunin predicted the Nomenklatura
the dang horse?
The Soviet Ruling Class of Bureaucrats and Party Officials who live better than most of the proletarian masses horse, yes
I remember my high school economy textbook pointed out how things like East Germany had less advanced technology due to how communism doesn't really do well to make people innovate.
But it also makes me think about how Enshittification is a similar thing on the capitalist end.
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
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
This might sound blindingly obvious to some who read my statements. But my school and also some people taught me that Capitalism at least encouraged innovation
It does in the beginning
But eventually when the trust funders and the oligarchs arise they quickly seize all of it and restrain it to serve them
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
In the early stages of collectivisation and enthusiasm sure
This is why they should make me supreme ruler so I can reshape society with an iron fist/j
Then again I am not an economist so idk
Not for long though
Capitalism arguably lasts longer in innovation at least?
Arguably
Surely it'll work this time around!
no me
Easier for a ruling nomenclature to arise in statist structures
I am more virtuous and selfless I should be god emperor
Sigsen EliteWolf civil war
10090000 dead
But yeah, there definitely needs to be some regulation to stop bad actors
Defo
Ancap doesnt work lmfao
Even Hayek says so
Bioshock is an example
Dengism fixed “communism” by making it state capitalism
Ironically yeah defo
lol
Shhhh 6 Modernisations its like Lenin yknow when he did the NEP and made... state capitalism
Although tbf it was also made to mainly make fun of a famous ancap supporter.
You know her.
You probably despise her.
Ayn Rand
Rand was nuts
Like BioShock as a game is literally just take every ideal Ayn Rand presents
She wasnt very respected among the economist community, for obvious reasons
And then showing exactly
How it goes wrong
Along with extra magical drugs to add to the chaos

Rand is stupid
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
Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged and then got a bunch of insane cultists
Then she decided to either go insane or mask off
The worst part is that Atlas Shrugged is a banger title
Probably mask off
And I wish I could use it
Ive heard its ok i havent read it
It's basically Ayn Rand's insane ideas
If you analyze it for a bit
ATLAS SHRUGGED IS A NOVEL
Like every single idea she presents
NOT A ECONOMIC TEXT SHE WASNT AN ECONOMIST
It's her version of a utopia
And its a crack dream
Basically
I think she abandoned logic at some point and just went on
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
I will if i can
And it wouldn't fit for others
Well rand is rand so heh
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
Utopia is a pipedream generally
Utopias and Dystopias are valuable though
True
Like how Superman is the ideal hero
They show you something
To the point where ""deconstructing"" him is a tired trope itself
Its not possible but we can aspire to be close to something, and wholly avoid becoming something else
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
Tbh yeah
Id like to see like at least one show about viltrum, maybe like an invincible better call saul
Also beef is banned in Bioshock
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

fake meat prolly
Bruh
0/10 would destroy the city again - Atlas
Pretty sure she also got money from the government despite her stance.
Also she was a fan of public travel and railways
While most of her successors and ardent supporters now hate trains
So

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.
What are some obscure 40k lore you think more people should know about?
Did you know that the Primarch of the Space Wolves, despite being called Leman Russ is not actually a Leman Russ Battle Tank
Lorgar can speak someone to death in a word
Enuncia
He can even make words of power
You can tell the difference if you look closely enough
Would have been oh so much cooler if he had been though
I still cant tbh
They are both kinda beige
Yea you just have to keep in mind that one faces left and the other....
Oh shit they're both facing left
Cmon its the same pixture
racism🫵
You know that's fair
average thousand sons sorcerer:
I blame Geoff for this partially ngl
highguard def wouldn't have gotten the amount of hate it did if it wasn't fucking hyped up at the GA
what did geoff see in the game
idk
I know the game wasn’t good
but I just feel bad for the devs
A director in his lap on his bed
Wasn't the issue that it's yet another hero shooter like 6+ years late to the party
It wasn’t even a hero shooter
It was more like Apex
it's apparently decent
That’s the big thing, it didn’t advertise itself well
nothing to ride home abouatr
For the longest time people thought it was a hero shooter
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
It’s still playable
It’s not closing until the 12th
Being a regular battle royale probably isn't cutting it now
Everytime I go to the subreddit I'm disappointed
I think the extraction shooter angle of being a loot goblin really hooked people more
It wasn’t a BR either tbh. The gunplay was comparable to Apex but it was mainly a base sieging game with an open world looting section in between
LMAO
I need to finally just gas myself up to play Deadlock because it looks like a bunch of fun
Do you not have a code lol
I do but I just can't ever seem to commit to just playing a match
Is this bait? Theres barely a difference
No, they are this petty
How does one even get to have a code isn't it invite only ?
First wave was invite only from the devs, but they each got a +5
And each person they invited got a +5
Ect.
Now each person gets as many invites as they want to give out
Don't think any of my friend is even playing it 💀
I got my invite direct from the Deadlock devs because I'm a star
and then infected all my friends with it
and didn't even play it myself
more silly deadlock clips as usual ALSO WE GOT MONETIZED TY (consider becoming a member? :D)
had a bigger idea for this video, but sadly had to scale back, dw the idea will be reused in the future!

wtf
most delicious item at the 70s dinner party
Gelatin is cool as hell
was it new in the 70s or something? because it seems to be everywhere in dishes from that era
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.
maybe not that one
I've seen a bunch I'd like to try though
Sometimes some meat jelly on liver paste is proper good tell you hwat
with onions naturally
My partner is saying SM 2 runs like ass now
The new map does for me at random times
Sudden framedrops to below 30 and stuttering
No joke. Id eat that
Just add some pasta
I've been eating so much rice and chickpeas anything is starting to look appetizing
widespread consumer fridges were new
when the game dev has to hide that they don't have the rights to a real life brand but has to make the game modern day:
also brands would release little free pamphlets full of recipes that used their product as a marketing thing
mostly pure dogshit recipes
makes sense
Thinking of how everyone boiled vegetables as the standard until like a decade ago is torture
Why not make something sensible like smalahove

Too American
📰 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…
crazy lore we're getting here
Yea if you want lore ask a lore question, until then we just chat
^
trying to go vegetarian + don't really like sheep + shut the fuck up
Wasn't this the hero shooter that they advertised as being fresh and unique even though it wasn't?
More or less
Apparently it was like a mash up of hero shooter and extraction shooter looting?
It seemed to have a semi-decent foundation I just didn't care
Seemed like just distilled mid
These things happen
"Wow this channel blows!"
and everyone is like
"Ok."
goes back to whatever the topic was
lol
Real.
or literally only comes in when nobody is talking about some lore thing and jumps to an assumption

¯_(ツ)_/¯
I thought we only got those types in zealot chat, but I guess they show up here too
Happens rarely
I saw the food talk and then found this again.
Like dude if we talked about only the channel topic exclusively and forever, the channel would die because people would not come here as frequently
Death penalty
ngl the pudding is tempting as is the ice cream
It's like walking into a kitchen, seeing a group of people having a conversation and going "Excuse me but isn't this place for cooking"
I kinda want to try a Dr Pepper dog
I'm summoned
I saw nutella ice cream and my blood sugar spiked just from looking at it
So sad gachimuchi died and Van Sama is a twitch streamer
Are lotus biscuits a thing in the USA?
I've never heard of them
Oh shit, yesterday was the anniversary of Aniki's death
Oh shoot it was
Listen to gachi to remember him
I already did listen to some yesterday but but I still forgot
Sleep tight Aniki
Man I should get more Dr Pepper.... even though I probably shouldn't
is there a lore reason why the guard primaris-ed their gear
They didnt primaris anything
Deeply mysterious that practically every single gachi remix has Russian comments
its still shitty flak and shitty lasguns
Elaborate on this
He likely means the new cadian minis
primaris in the sense that they refreshed their chunky ass helmets and got different pattern lasguns
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
yeah ive bought a few of those lasguns
Ah yeah it's just new molds and a bit upgraded aesthetics
the garand one is just for more archaic WW2 callbacks
and yeah its just newer molds ^
like- the old cadians were very much not great lol
butthey helpd up pretty well-ish
goopenheimer
Yea it's the same gun
It's not that huge of a difference, I appreciate the proportions
Idk who Henry is
It's the same, but basically just differently proportioned
hes a guy
Fucked up
I hope it's not true and it's just the sun making shit up again, but I can see the BBC doing this shit: https://fixvx.com/OricorioWho/status/2028560227499417877?s=20
https://t.co/qIuXVFX831
QRT: tvukzone
The Sun newspaper are reporting Billie Piper will not be playing The Doctor in the upcoming #DoctorWho Christmas special, adding "producers are trying to find a new Tardis dweller".
Ok space marines
The Sun are probably the least reliable source of information
I wouldn't trust the Sun the tell me if I was on fire
British newspapers in general
The Sun is barely a newspaper
People only bought it because it had pictures of naked women in it
Actually GW should bring back chaos bikers
Oldest trick in the book
zealot chat coded gif
Gachi is too good for zealot chat
I was warned to never enter zealot chat
highkey
yeah
Cooked
OMG 6 7
Ban this goof
I went into Zealot Chat once and they were talking about the best way to get Estrogen online
pretty sure that was in context of lack of access to it
because Trump 💀
I didn't imagine it was because of an abundance of access
Likein everz lgbtqia* servers mtf-trans channels xD
Zealot chat is most of the time just self regulated general
mtf-trans channels #zealot-class
aint willow cis
This is my moment to chud
I've been lurking in a server full of mtf and I gotta say, anime girls are not a realistic transition goal
No they not xD
Yeah
But its fun to have dreams
In this economy?
Mtf Hideo Kojima is sensible, go on
anime proportions and characters are also just not true reflection of a person irl
this is arguably achievable xd
Magic
She's like 6ft7, that's the main unachievable part tbh
But then how will I watch uncslop like Jin Roh
Just do the bone breaking lengthening surgery
I know of one person who did that and now he can't walk
be a 6ft5 woman
the extra inches comes from the heel
now if only youre born 6ft5 😔
I hope you weren't born 6ft5
why tf would people do that
That sound very uncomfortable
Insecurity
Im 5ft7 (170 cm)
The guy I know of has dwarfism tbf
is he a looksmaxxer by any chance
No
How many transitions have been performed on the mourningstar
I constantly rotate between both fanatics 💀
So like 1-2 missions
By Krall? Probably quite a few
Krall is really good at it
veteran dealing with body dysmorphia debuff
The shit he can do is crazy
Krall can literally change your entire personality
transition surgery is like NOTHING
prob fucking comes with the memory swap package
Isn't that Sefoni
man i wish it was that easy IRL
REAL
prob but he still does the bodily surgery

True
I wish Sefoni could brain scramble me so I could be productive
I love intentionally tilting people RP'ing Lash
He can make you a foot taller while remaining proportional
Thats insane
What
A foot taller with one simple trick
Don't worry, we're just 10 years away from being able to put people in amniotic sacs to geneedit them
I wonder what Krall could do if he really put his talent into it
Reject wrack class soon
Stuff that would get him shot by his door guards for sure
The bogdanoff twins, Rinda and Rodin bogdanoff
Also, monkey king is a compliment what
Dömp it
my movement lowkey goated
LMFAO CHRIST
I've seen worse
Shes great
There's no flavour without dump
she highkey a freak
She's really funny
She suggests killing rich people which is based
on the other hand she wants to mutilate me
actually i forgot DO thye explain why she wants to kill Reagents?
or is it just "shes a psychopath idk"
Maybe they're rich
she kills people that resists her charisma I.E mutilate yourselves
Didn't she like basically allow herself to get taken in so that she got more access to people to mutilate
That would check out.
Outlast devs write like warhammer tier amount of lore for this shit
yeah, she lets Nichols took her in, in exchange he mutilate himself too
no one is safe bro 💀
Let her cook
and if I remember rightfully she ended up charming and convinced he guy who was sent to capture her to mutilate himself, then willingly went with him anyway.
Yeah she did lmao
Based
ı was watching Gaming Harry's coverage on it, so cool
he really does this game justice and the characters especially
The reagents is working, maybe a little unwillingly sometimes, for the ultimate bourgeoisie american government which doesn't help perhaps
Yeah theres like 7-8 event dumps in Season 2 iirc showing them across various operations.
Killing pro-black community politicians, sabotaging jails for american agents to escape, eliminating foreign aides etc
aka shit CIA has done IRL already lol
its heavily implied a reagent was the one to kill Patrice Lumumba
I'm mr beastermans how high though I'll do anything for that A+ score compliment
seems CIA's investment paying off 💀
I did a rebirth in Trials and my guy wakes up near butt naked in China having gotten some presumably important Chinese guy to OD
Hella cool
Yeah the guy you sleep/OD is behind the chinese nuclear program and rockets
theres a lot of hints in the apartment if you arent distracted by the gloriously sexy and totally attractive Mao poster

I did look at it a lot
he spider on my eye til I lamb
I don't know why that's on my phone
The baby is your ideological opponent
Ideological? Nah. Opponent? Sure.
Also speaking of trans the new Krieg book has a krieger with the most default ass normal guy name I know of, Jens. I've known a small horde of Jenses by now
But it's a woman and I don't know if it's intentional. Mildly amusing though
Lmao
Babies are ontologically evil I'd punch one for free
Franco doesn't deserve it
If we're chudding over trans can I ask, in all honesty and with no hatred or malice, why do FtMs dress like 8th grade boys
do you not like Alice lol
So who do you all think will be the third imperial guard regiment?
who tf is FtM
Where, i ndorktide?
Wdym "third imperial guard regiment"
for mini refreshes?
catachan
its been obvious since 8e
OH lmao
yeah
Its catachan
yeah its Catachan 100%
I'm 10000% sure
The horse? The horse is very good
because like
🐴
i think even more actually
ATTILLAN ROUGH RIDERS
yeah lmao
Yeah the rambo shit is great for marketing
Even though their minis are old as fuck now
They're blowing up Catachan next
LOL
.....one day, steel legion will get theres
the truth that hurts every single person who likes a guard regiment who got discontinued
is that they weren't popular enough
lmao
Catachan don't deserve it, give the Steel Legion a chance to show their value
In the future you only get a range refresh if your planet gets blowed up
my favorite regiment is gona be in hell forever bruh
Also Elite i need spoilers, whats the main synopsis of the Krieg book, like setting/planet + whos the enemy
Vostroyans are stuck in heck
Honestly when the Athonian Tunnel Rats got into Darktide it was infinitely more than I'd ever hoped to see
"Please God-Emperor, dont let me be born on a forge or hive world"
"Hello doctor where am I?"
"Востроыа"
the best part is for such a "who" regiment their cosmetics fucking SLAPPED
they are a bit too uh
racially insensitive-ish
so that might be why lol
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.
Colonial stuff isn't so hot right now
Like
this is genuinely the most terrifying tau depiction in any book
that isn't Dark Coil
lol
The next Imperial Guard range refresh is the IDF
which has the IRL accurate drone striker Shas O'bama himself in command
please no
There's Kroot and I finally see, I love them now
Is it like
people are hanging out
a fucking tau plasma bolt blows someone apart
Yeah i was gonna assume its like Ukraine-tier stuff
which is how the Tau would normally fight
Aw speaking of the Russians use Foxhole the videogame tactics now
mfw Shas O'bama orders a drone strike of 500 Remora's
LMAO
and I am obliterated from existence
Yeah my favorite kinds of books when done well are the one where oyu NEVER get a POV of the enemy
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
It's honestly quite good, I'll finish the book tomorrow
They send guys with no equipment to loot bodies and bring back weapons and gear in no-mans land
A good kreig book? Really?
Yea
which is one of the biggest selling points
Thats neat
^
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
Also you want to know whats hilarious
Rhuairidh James has done one serious 40k short story aside from this one
KILL shovel boys
the rest of his stuff is liek
way more comedic/lightly toned
it all Red Gobbo stuff
he's really showing his stuff lol
I just remember not caring for Lyons stuff, and then the memes came
EVERY Krieg book he writers EVERY ONE is the same
his best book was the first
I think his issue is he just doesnt try anything.
Lyons is uh, well I like some of the stuff in his stories
because it was refreshing and new at the time
Lyon is very repetitive for Krieg
unfortunately
^
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
Well maybe Rhuairidh will write more
lol
Called vraks
doesn't even go over the interesting parts of Vraks
^
what did Lyons mean by this
Lyons'll have a really cool scene and then it's just meh
Lyons forgot Krieg are like the least interesting part of Vraks lol
My favorite part was like
why?
Fuck if I know
he sees Tyborc from the OG story and goes
"hrmmm hes like my OC ill have Rex recruit him"
like, okay
so?
lmao
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
dont forget the administratum also uncaringly sabotaging the entire campaign lmao
"Still not done yet? Aight we're taking more supplies away"
same
you NEVER see this in any other 40k book
Administratum is so cool
Sounds about right
but basically get the book
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
Lyons short story about a randon krieg guy slowly breaking out of his conditioning is so neat and then he does all the rest
yes you the player
Might. Getting over the misguided and unwarranted hatred of the krieg is hard
but it sounds neat
LMAO
Understandable
Honestly, dont even hate em. Just not cup of tea
Entirely fair
I do love Krieg but also I don't at all and the fans should be destroyed
yeah like considering a AUTHOR of 40k is like
"holy shit this fandom of theirs is annoying"
should tell you everything lol
Every time I see happy gasmask noise I do that Sideshow Bob grumble
need another trailer involving an Ork burna boy lighting up a Krieger to balance things out tbqh
They dont even use shovels for meele, they axe things
the krieg screams were like music to my ears tbh
NOT EVEN THAT
THEY USE TRENCH CLUBS
AND PEOPLE STILL SEE SHOVELS
AAA-
but you're correct on the clubs thing
HAHAHAHHEHHEHHOHOHO
its clubs, hand axes, normal guard melee weapons
yeah fair, tho god i remember when their killteam came out and people saw the clubs and were like
Also Trogdor is hella cool
this fuckin thing
ITS A FUCKING STICK
This is what they use to hack people to death with
TRRRRRROOOOOGGGGDDDOOOOORRRRR
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
As much as I'd like to see sharpened shovels in some random defence a la real ww1 I really don't also
but Veteran DKOK members do not give a shit because its useful for hacking apart people
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
||the IG are more or less in full retreat except the DKOK who don't acknowledge some new leadership||
||they actually evacuate at the end, the guard loses the battle but lives on, the DKOK are stubborn about it the whole way through till almost the very end||
At least for how far I've gotten
BASED
||a fucking hack writer would have made them win the end lmao||
but aigth ty
Wait is this the new Krieg novel?
Just curious, don’t mind if Krieg end up eating Tau firepower head on.
I look away for a second and have to physically restrain myself when I see clickable spoilers
Yea
Yeah
Ok good to see some writer bucking the trend
Yeah its in the synopsis too so no huge spoilers from that lol
This ENTIRE book is built on bucking the trend
the author said as much which is great
Between R S Wilt, Mike Vincent, and Rhuaridh James things are coming up Millhouse for BL
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
Mildly excited for future books
Unless you're strong good luck doing anything more than being a mildly awkward annoyance
They were used as impromptu axes in trenches, confined space and all
kriegsmen also have knives im p sure
makes sense
like not even in the original book do they use shovels as a weapon
Sharpened a lot too
I hope this is real
TBF WW1 troopers did use shovels as weapons before Krieg was even a meme.
Not in the newest one at least
Deathrider
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
It is lol
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
They’re basically not horses with how modified they are genetically
And generally they’re not super effective but they’re mostly as flankers in open fields
Warfare in 40k isn't very sensible
Rule of cool first
It’s cool to have cavalry
The horses are roided up to shit

Also they’re not using normal pointy sticks
They’re using power weapons or grenade lances
those are explosive right
Yeah
oh ok
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
I can guess so
The krieg horses are also like absurdly fucked up
I just think something like a motor cycle would be cooler
They got talons 💀
Those are a thing
with a extra seat
There's enough of both to take the losses ez
Like a twin seated motor cycle with a grenadier on the side
that sounds sick as hell
theyve done that before right
The krieg horses having mandibles and claws is wack, why the mandibles
And they look stupid imo
Oh right
still
guards prevails or whatever
At least it's not the gocart
i dont care for your hot wheels annoyance!!
Side car bikes have never looked good
i just think it'd be really cool for them to have some makeshift bike
its about function...
Doesn't quite work for marines
just fucking kitbash your own guard bikers
Guard are sloppy enough it'd work
lol
I'm a sucker for land speeders tbh
Kitbashing goes against GWs holy vision
incorrect
You think kriegsmen would have this shit
Shure
so fuckin dumb lmfao
Or the armed vespa
someone did catachan on hoveboards in an old white dwarf lol
I do love the cannon vespa
not bad
The skull is sensible
Peak marine vehicle right here
oh is that a landspeeder
Better than the sidecar scooter
Yes
whats your opinion on the storm speeder
and the Land Speeder Vengance
Not a DA guy
And I don't like storm speeders as much
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
Get rid of the front gunner and it'd at least look cool
stupid indeed
actually wait did GW fucking design the stormspeeder bcs of the ways people complained about the vengeance lol
are motor launcher servitors a thing
the front gunner should have been next to the the space marine in the right-seat
oh what the fuck
coaxial postion
gw stop stealing my fucking ideas before I have them
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
This is a little goofy I can't lie.
like.
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
okay those 2 bars function like a cross hair practically
speeders are silly and cool
many such cases
the tiny wings that can only hold one rocket each compared to the massive bulk of the main chassis is wonky
I like the scout battle bus a lot
why are there 3 cameras here
Me too
Think irl surface to air missile arrays
These are still better than the ATV
That sounds neat.
The ATV is evil
looks neat*
I don’t know if I hate it or the attack bike more
But im leaning towards hating the ATV more
I hate the atv more tbh
ATV definitely
I know some people hate the attack bike more
But the ATV feels too Orky lol
Bcs of the ork buggy
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
Mario cart looking thing
Tbh i think we’re not getting anything dumb/cheesier then the new stormspeeders
The ATV and desolators were an outlier
Storm speeders are too chunky
Ik I'm a flying landraider guy but storm speeder is very much a flying tank
Desolators my hated
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
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.
There's some genuinely good ones
What's the concept art for em look like?
Dante is definitely on my list
We dunno
But I wonder what it looks like
Nothing good
It has to look better than the models right
and that interests me greatly.
The only space marine books I really truly love are the deathwatch books ngl
Which are never getting a proper ending
It usually does for Jes
Nuh uh
Yeah I don't want to get into a book/buy it physically and just get a sandwich of hype and aura
I love the contrast between giant rocket gun and pistol
I still wonder about the “heavier then terminator armor” thing he made was
