Tyranids would be fun

[hollow lantern]

Anyway get your HPV shot

[opaque coyote]

Also

Votann army for DoW4

Pls

I need my Ironkin

[nocturne crest]

Votann wife for lion?

[storm jungle]

As we know every woman should be a slut for a primarch

[hollow lantern]

Why can't he have a husband

[storm jungle]

Because we live in a patriarchal society

NEXT

[nocturne crest]

No, every primarch should be a himbo.

[hollow lantern]

Fym

[nocturne crest]

Damn.

[hollow lantern]

Clearly 2 men is better in a patriarchal society

[nocturne crest]

Dilara decreed it.

[opaque coyote]

Greece moment

It ain't gay if you're at the top

Totally unrelated trust

[nocturne crest]

Wait.

I got it: The Lion is getting an Ork Husband.

[opaque coyote]

I mean Orks reproduce by spraying their spores around. And it increases when they're fighting

Because y'know

Wounds

Blood

Death

So...

Why do you think Orks love fighting

[solid horizon]

The Lion is getting melta blast

your turn

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside, I feel like Primarchs getting a love interest isn't necessarily bsd

Would turn to slop quickly

But hey, that's 40k

[solid horizon]

get your romanceslop out of here

[nocturne crest]

No, not my orc femboy slop.

[opaque coyote]

Never

1 million alpha male novels to flood amazon

[solid horizon]

it's a grim dark future where there is only war

[hollow lantern]

Tbh there has been exactly one fictional romance that ever stuck with me

[solid horizon]

no love allowed

[opaque coyote]

I honestly don't really care about romance that much

[nocturne crest]

NO JOHN CHAOS ANDROID.

[opaque coyote]

Despite being a fanfic writer and consumer, I really don't care

Wow two people are kissing

[hollow lantern]

I like uh

[opaque coyote]

How about walking through a street

[hollow lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/black-lagoon-revy-and-rock-kiss-cigarette-gif-17352647

[solid horizon]

YES JOHN CHAOS ANDROID.

[opaque coyote]

Also on a related note

[opaque coyote]

The worst part about discourse is that if you find a gay couple like genuinely bad

Like idk, you just don't think their romance is actually good

There's always a chance that you'll get a knee jerk reaction of people thinking you're homophobic

Because of grifters complaining about gay relationships existing on screen

So it's hard to complain if like

"Oh, this relationship is pointless, if you removed the romance element it probably wouldn't change the movie at all."

"ARE YOU HOMOPHOBIC??"

[solid horizon]

a lot of the gay romance you see in recent series, or any other "inclusive" element is purely commercial and it sucks as a fact

big producers want more money

how to get more money ? get more people to watch

create emotionless slop

[opaque coyote]

There's a few I like

Owl House, despite being a fucking cartoon for all ages, has a surprisingly decent teenage gay relationship. And the writers clearly didn't write it in for commercial sake.

But there are definitely some that are just there to get viewers in

[solid horizon]

discredit the actual good romances

[opaque coyote]

Also low-key has the funniest scene where Amity's mom hates Luz.

Not because she's homophobic, she's just racist

So when Amity is like "Stop trying to ruin my relationship"

Amity's Mom is just like "We'll get you another girl."

"I'm fine with my girl dating a woman. But a human? Too far!"

And now I just realized that this

Probably has happened in the Imperium

Somewhere

[solid horizon]

anyways before I go mimir

have ham dudes for the 3rd time today

[opaque coyote]

Have a nice power off Chaos Android

[heady rivet]

The first Star Wars gay couple embracing lasts 2 seconds, is cut out for international release, and is instantly followed by a shot twice as long of a Slug making a disgusted face

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-klaud-love-gif-25009468

[opaque coyote]

"bro I just woke up I didn't wanna see PDA today"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly had an idea for a gag where an alien hates different sex couples.

But that's purely because their species only has one sex. They reproduce via mitosis.

So different sex couples are just weird to them

It's unnatural™

[rocky gale]

Hey you don't know slug culture, maybe that's his happy face

[opaque coyote]

Mass effect has one of my favorite alien species

The Elcor

And it's precisely because since their form of expression can't really be applied to other races

Their translators always bluntly state what they're feeling

And I find that both funny and genuinely interesting

Because I like it on a world building level

Like ofc there's an alien species who's form of expression and emotion can't be properly translated

https://youtu.be/x9659rDhXGg?si=qR8F_4yGH044TSBz

Disappointed. I wish there was more Elcor stuff in Mass Effect.

Elated tone. I like how alien they are. Also my autism is pleased by them stating their proper emotions. There is no mistaking.

Anger. I wish for there to be more alien species like this with quirks from trying to adapt to the wider galaxy.

[mossy peak]

why would you name a planet armageddon

[storm jungle]

because its literally Armageddon

[mossy peak]

but is it armageddon because its named armageddon, or is it named armageddon because its armageddon

[spring cairn]

same reason why therez a planet called war in german

[mossy peak]

never a subtle moment

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it was named Ullanor

[heady rivet]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Celestial_Swords Best chapter btw

[opaque coyote]

It got changed to Armageddon after all of the shit

That happened on that planet

The Beast being first.

An Armageddon to the Imperium

And to the writing quality

[rocky gale]

TBF the people who named it Armageddon didn't know about it being Ullanor

[sacred bluff]

@storm junglewho is that mid writer who is also a great editor

[rocky gale]

Nick Kyme?

[storm jungle]

Hes not a great editor but yeah thats Kyme

[sacred bluff]

i was talking to my friend and she said she's not a great writer but an amazing editor, so i thought of Kyme and had to confirm it

[sacred bluff]

better editor than writer?

[lament shoal]

Kyme is a guy

[rocky gale]

His friend was talking about herself

[lament shoal]

Ah mb

[storm jungle]

I honestly cant tell, because we dont really know generally what he edits i dont think?

[opaque coyote]

I mean there's a planet called

Murder.

Not even in another language

Or a synonym or a subtitle

Just

Murder.

Tbf it was notable for being absolute hell for the Imperium forces. Mega Arachnid moment.

With it being so bad that they literally just called it Murder.

[winter pine]

hmmm yes this is totally a planet worth conquering and settling, no issues with people living here whatsoever

[opaque coyote]

Tbf they didn't settle on it.

The Interex had it as basically a reservation for the Mega Arachnids

After they had a war. They stripped them of their interplanetary capabilities and just let them live there. It was called something different.

They also called for the Imperium to stop, and in a rare move.

The Imperium obliged.

And they left it alone

I dunno what happened to it after that though

Probably just left alone

Given the fact that their short campaign basically had the SM forces massacred

Apparently gigantic, violent, spiders that were heavily augmented to the point where a Tyranid would blush. And also telepathic and sentient.

Aren't exactly the nicest fellows

Also the Interex had a bunch of warning beacons around that the Imperium ignored

[daring creek]

Yea they tore marines apart

They controlled a storm as well

[opaque coyote]

Lucius also had an appropriated severed Megaarachnid claw as a sword

[daring creek]

Then was promptly reprimanded

By his superior

[opaque coyote]

It is so sharp and tough that when he tried to hold it while wearing Ceramite gloves.

The claw pierced through it

[daring creek]

Yep

[opaque coyote]

And cut his hands

[daring creek]

Like it was flesh lmfao

[opaque coyote]

It would be funny if the mega arachnids were actually peaceful normally

They just really hate invaders

[daring creek]

Id like that honestly

[opaque coyote]

Considering they haven't really been heard of outside their reservation

And they are sentient

[opaque coyote]

The Imperium was apparently winning though

Before the Interex were like

"y'know this is basically a prison planet right? Like this isn't productive in the slightest."

[daring creek]

Mhm

It's the imperiums fault lmfao

[opaque coyote]

So there's a chance that the Imperium did finish the job after dealing with the interex but I honestly hope not

[opaque coyote]

The Megaarachnids also brokered a peace treaty

So they are definitely sapient enough to have a society and sign contracts

It legitimately was just them reacting violently against invaders

[daring creek]

Yeeeep

[opaque coyote]

Although they also were aggressive to the point where they had their space faring tech taken away

But now I have a funny idea to reintroduce them as a less aggressive bug race

Basically after the Imperium left, the only ones that survived were the less aggressive ones

Because they decided to hide and/or attack more intelligently

Natural selection and all that

So they repopulated and using the ruins of several 30k era ships lying around. Eventually became space faring again

God it would be funny for Guilliman to basically encounter a mini empire of Megaarachnids and get PTSD

[rocky gale]

All the Primarchs who fought them are gone, so I wonder if those left wouldn't know what they were

[opaque coyote]

Also on a related note, it's funny that Abaddon before falling to Chaos was exceptionally Xenophobic

Like while Horus was doing diplomacy with the Interex he was basically frothing at the mouth and being like

"WHY THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN TALKING WITH THEM? LET'S JUST KILL THEM."

Bro was literally more xenophobic than his primarch

[opaque coyote]

I can imagine they would get mistaken for Tyranids

Since like I legitimately thought they were like

Feral Tyranids

At first anyways

But then they had descriptions of augmentations like steel legs

And I was like

"Oh no wait they're different"

And I've seen some fans questioning whether they're feral tyranids

So I can imagine that the Imperium might have encountered an invasion of them but thought they were just

Really weird Tyranids

[winter pine]

There were a lot of minor xenos that were limited to one or a few planets that were still extremely dangerous during the Great Crusade era

[opaque coyote]

Since the average guardsman can't even tell the difference between a dark Eldar and a craftworlder

[storm jungle]

They arent tyranids

i fucking hate this dumbass theory

reducing any random alien to Nids

lol

[arctic talon]

Mega arachnids are their own species

and they're sapient

lol

[opaque coyote]

But don't you see? They're vaguely bug like, therefore nids

[arctic talon]

like they're a sentient and sapient species

[winter pine]

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

they were murderous assholes tbf

its why the interex had them quarrantined

LOL

[storm jungle]

[winter pine]

giant cybernetic murderous spiders really hitting the fear receptors in my brain

[opaque coyote]

I know. I was just yapping about how it would be funny that they actually managed to become space faring again.

But everytime the Imperium reencountered them. Due to the records being lost, they just think they're really weird Tyranids.

Because the average guard can't really tell the difference between Deldar and CW Eldar

[opaque coyote]

Also they apparently signed a treaty while surrendering

Which is just funny to imagine because I'm just imagining the Interex being like

[arctic talon]

tbf the mega arachnids didn't use guns

iirc lol

[opaque coyote]

"Okay so you hold a pen like-"

"okay no. That's not how you do it. I can write it."

Megaarachnid keeps poking at the pen with their sharp claws

Pierces it and has it bleed out ink

sigh "Just stab the signature part with your ink stained claw and we'll call it a day."

[opaque coyote]

Now I want to make the return of the mega arachnids.

Is the Interex system still under Imperium control as of 40k

Cause I'm now imagining a mini mega-arachnid empire

[teal tide]

I remember reading somewhere—can’t remember where, naturally—that demons of the Warp are more affected by low-tech weaponry like melee, tools, or basic fire, than they are by more modern technology. Not because a bullet does less damage than a sword, but because a sword carries more “thematic weight” than a gun—it’s a more ancient image, imbued with cultural significance and resonance, and that sort of wishy-washy subconscious narrativizing nonsense is what the Warp is made of, more or less. It makes for a better story, ergo, it’s more effective.

I love stuff like that in relation to the Warp, how it’s not just indecipherable magic, but symbology, numerology, culture, ancestral memory. Makes it feel so much more magical and unique compared to other sci-fantasy settings.

Also makes me wanna learn more about demons in 40K. Like the actual rituals required to summon them, or the sacrifices required by the Dark Gods, and why those things work the way they do. I wanna hear a cultist break down why writing stuff on human skin is better for the ritual than regular paper.

[storm jungle]

Thats a very famous entry yeah its from one of the Horus Heresy rulebooks, the thing is that thing is just from that piece of lore and its not something thats exactly repeated as much in the wider setting.

The warp very much is just indecipherable magic, 40k writers make shit up like it on the spot because it sounds cool as 40k has no hard-set rule on magic so anyone can really do anything with it.

The ritual stuff too is similiar to this, one book will go into explaining why it might be necessary but its literally just boils down to "lol we're evil and it looks cool", its kinda the mask of depth when in reality its pretty simple.

[teal tide]

Awww.

Well, still. It’s fun to overthink!

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats kinda the fun of 40k lol

the fact that "everyone makes shit up" helps with it

[storm jungle]

Actually I say "40k" when it applies to all Warhammer settings but still

[hollow lantern]

Afaik summoning daemons boils down to creating so much suffering around the veil between the material and immaterial thins

No specific way to do it tho

Could throw a bunch of flayed people into a bit and chant some funny words

[rose thorn]

the intent to summon demons does make it stronger

[arctic talon]

Yeah

also knowing their name/parts of their true name

ect.

[teal tide]

Me with my notepad and clipboard standing off to the side as some cultists flay some poor guy alive.
“Ohhhh, fascinating—and, is it important for the ritual for the knives to be sharpened, or are they better dull?”

[arctic talon]

ngl Dull would be better to get more blood

arguably

[hollow lantern]

Matters more where you got the knife from ngl

[arctic talon]

bcs it'll be longer to skin

[hollow lantern]

40k does have like, ritual daggers and what not

[arctic talon]

slaaneshi daemons might like a sharper knife for technique reasons

yeah that also

there's ritual knives

[teal tide]

Sure, but what makes something a ritual dagger as opposed to just a knife? One might argue intent, but really, the intent between all non-decorative knives is the same. Though then again, murder and killing both end up with someone dead, but I wouldn’t call them the same.

[arctic talon]

ritual daggers tend to be old/tied to some other species/infused with weird stuff ect.

runes

[teal tide]

Sure, but why?

[hollow lantern]

They also probably look strange.

[teal tide]

I’m kinda just begging to get needlessly philosophical.

[arctic talon]

the runes and infusions are of significance to the chaos gods/a chaos god in specific often

for xenos weapons they're likely of the same origin/usage or had some weird stuff done to them

There's a Eldar knife thats really good at summoning daemons in rituals

lol

prolly because it was used for some horrific stuff during the eldar empire

[teal tide]

Placing special significance on this kooky-looking bit of old metal is my jam.

[tough haven]

My friend proving my point

Sent this meme to them

[winter pine]

getting psychic damage at the thought of chud being the zoomer equivalent of baka

I’m so good at this

[celest cedar]

LOL

[lament shoal]

Which inquisition ordo is the one we see in darktide?

[sacred ginkgo]

Hereticus

[lament shoal]

Ty

[nocturne crest]

How many classes should darktide have?

Like, should there be 2 more added to make 8 or should there be 7 to match Nurgle's number.

[median star]

what helmet is this mk4?

[languid meadow]

honestly I think we're up for at least 2 more imo but like we're already getting pretty crowded with just two new classes

so if the next one is the last one I wouldn't be surprised

unless they want to do the VT2 thing with 4 new releases

[nocturne crest]

I'm curious about what they could add.

What is missing from current darktide gameplay that other classes don't fill.

[median star]

id much prefer seeing more weapons to old classes and maybe even fourth skill lines on old trees aswell as opposed to more classes at this point

[nocturne crest]

Maybe they'll give dlc roles to the older classes.

[arctic talon]

MK4

[lament shoal]

Kinda crazy how we still don't have a plasma pistol yet

[opaque coyote]

'What’s so horrifying about understanding that the [ entire group] is the enemy?' Who said the above mentioned quote?

I genuinely thought it was the Nazi's

Nope Israel

[heady rivet]

The woman who said this was appointed Justice Minister in Israel after she said it btw

[sour hornet]

It's literally intent though

Like use a kitchen knife for ritual self mutilation enough times, and its starts being a ritual knife

However, create a funky looking dagger, but use it for filleting fish enough times, and it becomes the fish knife

[teal tide]

I thought I’d cracked the code, with Israeli statements often referring to animals and more outright bloodthirsty language, but the Nazis had some curveballs thrown in.

Disgusting.

[jade holly]

One Piece season 2’s been insane so far

I’m loving it so much

[opaque coyote]

Ritualistic daggers depends on both intent and age

If a kitchen knife is used for rituals

Stabbing people several times to get their blood as paint for the symbols

As an example

Then that knife slowly gains ideological power from the warp due to it often being used as ritualistic

[teal tide]

I don’t need an example, thank you, I get it now.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah sorry

[teal tide]

Like I said, being needlessly philosophical.

[opaque coyote]

The warp is always needlessly philosophical

@arctic talon

[arctic talon]

Chiang was socialist

and anti capitalist

Which is really fucking funny

He was also a facist later

[opaque coyote]

Bro went to the opposite spectrum

Lmao

[arctic talon]

Socialism isn't a governmental form tbf

technically

Chiang much like Sun was a market socialist

[opaque coyote]

True but you don't usually put fascism and socialism together

...

[arctic talon]

[opaque coyote]

I mean technically the Nazi party would count as that

[arctic talon]

I mean he wasn't socialist when he became a facist

[opaque coyote]

But they weren't actually socialist

[arctic talon]

he changed ideologies

over time

lol

lol

[opaque coyote]

Rip

[winter pine]

it's been really funny to hear Marco Rubio try to say some old cold war era shit about unleashing Chiang recently

[opaque coyote]

Wha

What the fuck

[winter pine]

iirc it's supposed to be that the US would gas up Taiwan with whatever they needed to retake the mainland?

It's copium now tho

[opaque coyote]

...that is dumb on so many levels.

Like logistically

How the fuck would that even work

There's literally no chance for Taiwan to even compete with China

Militarily

Population is simply too small

[winter pine]

https://blog.ucs.org/gregory-kulacki/rubios-promise-to-unleash-chiang-wont-land-well-in-china/

lmfao of course this is from the 1950s

[opaque coyote]

Ultra conservatives

In the 1950s

Oh god

[winter pine]

bro is quoting Eisenhower over 50 years after he died

[opaque coyote]

Is this guy stupid

Actually yeah

Yeah he is

[winter pine]

Rubio is literally only in it now so that he can watch bombs fall on Havana

A genuine 40k Imperial ghoul

[opaque coyote]

Listen, I support Taiwan independence but trying to get Taiwan to take China would basically be suicide

And I doubt reunification is taken seriously

Like atp it's lip service to the remaining extremists in China and Taiwan

[heady rivet]

China knows it cant happen because nobody woll let them take Taiwan because its too valuable for the global economy

Taiwan knows it cant happen because the entire plan with war for them is "Hold out until the US arrives"

[arctic talon]

the idea of war for reunification is comically unpopular

aside from weirdos

in which that case yeah the ultra nationalists love that shit

except no major party in Taiwan appeals to that now lol

the KMT are not hardliners anymore

[heady rivet]

Unsurprisingly 99% of people dont give a shit at the end of the day

[arctic talon]

Yeah

lol

most people would rather not get drafted to die on a piece of land far away

[opaque coyote]

Literally almost 80 years since it split off

[winter pine]

Is there someone you forgot to ask? -Secretary of State Marco Rubio

[opaque coyote]

I doubt there's anybody alive that even remembers

[arctic talon]

untrue

lol

[opaque coyote]

Did you remember to wear a suit

[opaque coyote]

What are they like fucking 100 years old?

Just wait 5-10 more years they'll probably die

[arctic talon]

also what Jeb said about " free markets, moral values and the principles of a free society."

is laughably untrue

regarding Chiang

bro did not like any of those except the free market but only under socialism

because capitalists are actually wait

I can't repeat what he said about capitalists

or westeners

bro was kind of extremely racist

Anyways this is a sign that Chiang Kai Shek will be revived from the dead

to destroy Iran

or something

he actually liked Muslims and Christians

which is funny

considering a lot of the other KMT really didn't

[winter pine]

Taiwan after they see Iran force the US to give them a nuclear program after they keep oil at 200 bucks per barrel for months on end

[arctic talon]

tbh the oil prices being fucked rn is like a triple thing lol

Iran + Russia + other oilfields being bombed by Iran

10/10

so I guess its actually just 2 things

lol

[winter pine]

very grimdark that anti-nuclear proliferation is fucking dead and buried now

Been kinda that way for a while but this just solidifies it

[arctic talon]

Nuclear proliferation + ICBMS is the only guarantee you won't be invaded by a power thats stronger or remotely equal

lol

Its the one way you can make sure no one will ever invade you

[winter pine]

https://tenor.com/view/kim-jongun-hi-hello-dictador-gif-12672400

[arctic talon]

Yeah

NK would have been eaten up by China or SK prolly

if not for their nuclear program lol

[celest cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/kirk-man-charlie-kirk-kirk-if-ied-kirk-meme-gif-11866908506481137705

[arctic talon]

ngl

its kind of horrifying how effective NK is at like

total surveillance + isolation

[winter pine]

Just total vindication on why it's dumb to not acquire nuclear weapons

[arctic talon]

Ukraine prolly regretting giving up their nukes

post USSR collapse lol

[winter pine]

Went from WE GOT TO INVADE TO STOP THEM to nothing, no one even suggests trying anything now

[arctic talon]

a lot of countries are very close to nukes

but they don't do it

[winter pine]

iirc Ukraine didn't really have the ability to keep them safe

[arctic talon]

I'd assume in the event of invasion they'll just fucking make nukes

[winter pine]

So it was sort of understandable

[arctic talon]

it was to maintain them but the same applies to Russia

lol

[opaque coyote]

As somebody who is strangely interested in North Korea for some reason.

They genuinely pull the exact same shit as 1984.

Tbf 1984 is specifically a cautionary tale against authoritarian governments

[arctic talon]

Russia has not been properly maintaining their stock

[opaque coyote]

But heah

[arctic talon]

Thats not to say Russia's stock is bad

but not maintaining it is less important then having a loaded gun imo

[opaque coyote]

Russia's stock being not maintained well isn't that important

Considering that even 100 nukes

Would probably just completely ruin everything

Let alone the ludicrous amount both countries have

[arctic talon]

anyways yeah

be able to make nukes

thats a great defense

no one wants nuclear annihlation

[opaque coyote]

Problem is that for Ukraine in particular it was

Horrifically expensive to maintain em

[mossy peak]

dprk eternally vindicated

[arctic talon]

Shame its the fucking DPRK

[opaque coyote]

The DPRK is fascinating in how fucking awful the place is

[arctic talon]

tbf

its intentional

well

it wasn't intentional under Kim Il Sung

def under Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un

lol

[opaque coyote]

Friendly reminder is that Pyongyang is generally where the most affluent lives.

And they live under constant stress, scrutiny, and barely have running electricity.

[arctic talon]

they actually have functioning electricty now

[opaque coyote]

And they're the 1%

[arctic talon]

but yeah Pyongyang is the 1%

[opaque coyote]

God knows how the other 99% live

[arctic talon]

Kim Jong Un is weird

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

he simultaniously is more open

and more isolationist

I'd assume living quality is up from what it used to be

but still 💀

[opaque coyote]

Tbf I doubt things like the Arduous March/Famine was intentional

[arctic talon]

that defection rate lol

[arctic talon]

It was

well

the severity of it was

[opaque coyote]

Which was also under Kim Jong Il's reign

[arctic talon]

they hoarded food

for the elites + military

and let the average person starve

they could have made it much less severe

but they kept the upper class + military well fed

[opaque coyote]

I doubt it was fully intentional

But yeah it was definitely used as an

"opportunity"

[arctic talon]

they could have lessened the impact of it

instead they used it to solidfy their political and military base

lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah and it's why there's probably never gonna be a revolt

[arctic talon]

well there's also other reasons

[opaque coyote]

Starving illiterate peasants

Don't make good revolutionaries

[arctic talon]

they're not illiterate actually

[opaque coyote]

Yeah ik

[arctic talon]

education is mandatory in North Korea

as is literacy

lol

[opaque coyote]

Exaggeration of sorts

[arctic talon]

but you only get to read what the government tells you to read

and watch what the government tells you to watch

[opaque coyote]

But in general they're too busy worrying about survival

[arctic talon]

stuff still gets into NK from China and SK

but its rare

[opaque coyote]

Than to revolt

[arctic talon]

tbh the younger generations might not literally have the idea of revolting or revoution in them

have you seen NK like

movies?

they're weird

like the non super propaganda ones

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

And also cartoons

[arctic talon]

I like the godzilla knockoff

Pulgasari

[opaque coyote]

Squrriel and Hedgehog is one of the most popular NK cartoons

It's basically a "kids" cartoon that's basically an eternal war against the evil Mice (South Korea), Weasels (Japan), and Wolves (USA)

...

Also proves that despite literally being in a country ruled by an evil dictatorship

FURRIES STILL EXIST.

[opaque coyote]

Also yeah the story behind the movie

And the movie itself are both somewhat interesting.

[winter pine]

GW just leaving money on the table at this point if they don't add in some furry bait

[arctic talon]

go to AoS

nerd

also beastmen/hj

[opaque coyote]

Felinids also if we ever get a depiction

But probably not since GW definitely forgot about them

Unlike the fanbase

[opaque coyote]

Also this is Officer Yeou (Fox). She's the secretary to the leader of the Wolf Unit. The wolves basically represents the USA

[winter pine]

GW after they make up some bullshit about Ragnar Blackmane's geneseed mutating him into a giant buff werewolf:

https://tenor.com/view/banker-cash-money-gif-13067647

[opaque coyote]

Female fans increase by 1000%

Seriously I'm pretty sure most actual monster fuckers are female

[celest cedar]

yes

[opaque coyote]

Also

https://youtu.be/Rr6fpeDF1vQ?feature=shared

Actually slightly disturbed me probably because you get to actually see them all literally get fucking impaled by long spikes

And struggle as their body weight brings them down further into it

As they basically all scream

No blood though so it's okay™

This isn't unusual for the cartoon btw

Because it's NK

There's a lot of military sacrifice and shit

Basically telling kids "Dying for your country is noble!"

Can tyrannid consume every kind of bio thing? I just saw this short and i was thinking about that: https://youtube.com/shorts/LsRDQzIareg?is=E7K3fgcRexPRPJbF

Do they evolve to eat that sht?

[vagrant fox]

One instance I can think of they didn't but in another they did

[fervent geode]

Might depend of the adaptation of the hive fleet

I think hive fleet kronos might be able to

[hollow lantern]

Believe so, yes

[vagrant fox]

actually on reading further the one where they did doesn't say they did, they just beat chaos senseless

`Hesp was a Jungle World that became the site of a battle between the Death Guard's 4th and 7th Plague Companies and the tyranids of Hive Fleet Lotan in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation.

The battle between the two forces became so apocalyptic that Hesp was inflicted with poisons, plagues, Daemonic diseases and virus bombs, which turned the world into a sea of toxic slime that claimed the lives of its invaders. When the last body fell dead, a tyranid bio-ship attempted to feed off Hesp, but the world proved to be so poisonous that its proboscis melted and this caused the remainder of Hive Fleet Lotan to destroy the Bio-ship.`

This one is fun though

[storm jungle]

They can yeah, they literally stripmine entire planets.

Even removing a planet’s molten core

[vagrant fox]

Decades after its apparent demise, Gorgon re-emerges. Its path converges with the plague hulk Vomnivorax . The hive fleet launches boarding tentacles, and swarms of gaunts pour into the corrupted vessel. Plague Marines of the Mouldering Claw obliterate the initial waves of invaders, their disease ridden flesh immune to the toxins of the Gorgon. The swarm consumes those few who fall. During the next wave of the invasion, Toxicrenes lace the tunnels of the ship with a refined spore-agent which causes the Plague Marines’ rancid flesh to slough from their bones

There's also this, they can deal with Nurgleisms fine mostly it seems

Vomnivorax is definitely a name of all time

[raven stone]

Interestingly I think it is just remotely valid

Spores are not truly viruses and not sentient (unlike Orks)

[storm jungle]

Nid spores you mean?

[raven stone]

Ye

Or if they are sentinet

[storm jungle]

Kinda. They are still actively hostile

[raven stone]

Protected by Hive Mind

[storm jungle]

And extremely poisonous

[vagrant fox]

Due to Shadowbrink's importance, it did not stand defenceless. Alongside the world's Grey Knights, PDF, and Frateris Militia were Imperial Guard Regiments - two Cadian and one Vostroyan. In orbit, Shadowbrink had three orbital defence platforms and six Cobra Class Destroyers for protection.

The Grey Knights deployed a pair of Dreadknights to meet the Tyranids, yet not even this was enough to stem the Tyranid tide.

you don't say

what a shocker

Two babycarriers couldn't do what the above couldn't

[tepid glacier]

Then the death guard are the worst tyranid enemies? I guess they have that environment poison on their ambient

[vagrant fox]

Nurgles or Necrons probably

[tepid glacier]

I read somewhere too that tyranida cannot eat daemons

[storm jungle]

Depends really, this is one specific example

They can still body and out-do death guard

They aren’t immune to being shot by acid

[vagrant fox]

The Tyranids eventually controlled the plains around Rossov before launching an all-out offensive at the ruins of the city itself. However the Daemons unleashed a storm of bile and blood which turned the ground to muck, bogging down the Tyranids. Daemonic chariots swooped in on their trapped foes, as Furies and Plague Drones attacked from above. However the Hive Mind quickly adapted, throwing everything they had to distract the Warpspawn while swarms of Rippers rapidly consumed biomass elsewhere on Shadowbrink. This biomass was used to create swarms of Exocrines and Biovores which were in turn used to unleash devastating volleys of artillery to contain the Daemonic advance. Tervigons and the Termagants they unleashed were then deployed to launch a counter-attack through sheer attrition. The Great Unclean One Shub'Luth'Gug attempted to break the deadlock and push through, but his psychic abilities were smothered by the Shadow in the Warp. Moments later, the huge Daemon was blown apart by Zoanthropes.

I wonder what they mean by the hive mind quickly adapted, whether the bioforms adapted or the hive mind just re-strategized. Probably both

Anyways they deal with daemons fine there's just nothing to eat afterwards which isn't what the nids want

[tepid glacier]

Damm tyranids are the worst creatures ever created in the scy fi, they’re practically perfect, maybe the only weak point is the conection need it with the hive mind

[heady rivet]

Update next week confirmed

Wahoo

[raven stone]

Don't forget Genestealer Cults are a part of their strategy too

[tepid glacier]

But why genstealer sometimes are fighting each other’s

[raven stone]

The Hive Mind decided one of the group is no longer compatible

[tepid glacier]

Because they can get some kind of auto perception mind?

[paper haven]

Isolated strains of the tyrannid life form can develop mutations that the hive mind finds isn't worth it or are detrimental, so it will try to kill them

[solid horizon]

I think they can still eat them as we can theorically eat mold and spoiled food

[rocky gale]

The fight also doesn't cause them to lose anything, since the stronger strain wins and biomass of the loser is absorbed by the winner to produce more

[solid horizon]

their kids might end up looking like malstrain

[rocky gale]

They can't eat Chaos itself, it's why they have a specific Hive Fleet to handle that

[tepid glacier]

And what about necrodermis?

Can they eat necrons?

[rocky gale]

Don't think so

They typically avoid them since no biomass

[tepid glacier]

I see thank god( i guess) someone can counter them a little at least

[rocky gale]

But will fight them if they're in the way

[celest dome]

Necron are the foil of Tyr as they're not biomass, and their weapons destroy stuff on the molecular level, denying further biomass

[tepid glacier]

Are the paria gen users a good counter for tyrannids on imperium side?

[rocky gale]

They can cause some disruption around themselves based off how powerful they are, but they're still killable

[celest dome]

Don't think themed affect the Tyr hivemind

[tepid glacier]

I wonder if imperium could have some kind of weapon to create an amplification for this to fight against tyrannid hivemind, maybe this could give some love to the Sisters of Silence faction

[tepid glacier]

Mmmm i saw on space marine 2 that they order to kill a Majoris tyranid to cut the hivemind comunication

[tepid glacier]

Maybe you’re right and i just made those connection due the civatrix event and the warp has nothing to do witg the hivemind

[celest dome]

Basically they work like Modems, you have the Hivemind, and then Synapse Tyr who link up the normal Tyr to the Hivemind

[celest dome]

Well, there is the Shadow in the Warp, which is something the Hivemind cause and act somewhat like a Blank

Which is such a cool concept

"Yes there are full on Deamons in the realm of Magic, but those things are so alien that they're affecting us like they're the Old Gods of Lovercraft"

[tepid glacier]

I wonder if those things could be somehow on ghoul stars

Always loved the cosmic horror

[limpid granite]

and then you have varro tigurius

[storm jungle]

SM2 is an extremely bad source when it comes to how Nids work

for example when they kill the Hive Tyrant the horde of Nids would still maul everything around them including each other and the Imperials

[queen laurel]

yeah and the bio titan Lacks bio shielding

with that thing on the main method of taking it down won't even tickle the thing

[storm jungle]

tbh the netire biotitan mission itself makes no sense

but yeah lol

[spare osprey]

SM2 is a wonderful trip if one is a Scythes of the Emperor fan.

And a fan of Ultramarine-leaning Astartes drip.

[tepid glacier]

Why is that?

[spare osprey]

I'm drawing a bit of a blank, but no other chapter HATES Nids more than the Scythes.

[storm jungle]

They nearly wiped the Chapter out so they now just have a vendetta against Nids.

[tepid glacier]

oh i see, i fucking love how they look on astartes 2 trailer

i did my own version on sm2

[spare osprey]

Muh Halloween Marines.
:]

[near wasp]

They are pretty baller

[limpid granite]

Astartes 2 has amazing designs

Especially sons of medusa and mortificators

[storm jungle]

Fun fact again that none of this will be in the animation btw

[limpid granite]

Also the chaos marine slamming a full grown primaris marine with 1 hand

[tepid glacier]

Raptors looks awesome while figthing those Tau

[storm jungle]

those are Sons of Medusa

[tepid glacier]

Oh i see

Looks similar to me

[storm jungle]

easy mistake though i thought they were raptors at first too lol

[limpid granite]

I knew instantly they were sons of medusa those white helmets and symbol stands out with the green pallet

[tepid glacier]

Are the retributors like some kind if loyalyst alpha legion??

[storm jungle]

No they are just tactical Imperial Fist successors

[limpid granite]

Imperial fist successors

[spring cairn]

i love the scythes's scheme except their insignia i hate it

[tepid glacier]

I’ve been reading about them and seems like they work in similar way

[limpid granite]

They are also fully cannon

[storm jungle]

Do they?

Alpha Legion are about spies, guerilla warfare and subterfuge

[tepid glacier]

I love those fancy insignias sorry

[limpid granite]

https://tenor.com/view/space-marine-astartes-astartes-2-astartes-ii-scythes-of-the-emperor-gif-17311661672076716439

The scytes look so fucking cool man

[spring cairn]

i don't like when the emblem is too thin ?

i prefer more conventional heraldry styled stuff

[tepid glacier]

Also what it’s confusing to me, in this trailer they look yellow and orange, are they like diferent or just the filter??

[storm jungle]

Artistic choice

their OG colors are yellow

[limpid granite]

Theres also a slight orange tint on the video

[storm jungle]

Its likely old repurposed footage

so prob why it looks that way

[limpid granite]

I much prefer the orange over the yellow

[tepid glacier]

they look yellow here

[storm jungle]

especially since none of this will be in the Astartes 2 animation

[limpid granite]

It shades much better

[storm jungle]

so its prob not that important

[limpid granite]

https://tenor.com/view/astartes-2-tank-space-marine-gif-7670590546939692099

[spring cairn]

what's ur worst sm chapter scheme

[tepid glacier]

i guess that grey knight will be the lord of the squadron does anyone knows more about the media?

[spring cairn]

i forgot the name but i rlly hate the one that's just orang

[storm jungle]

Squadron?

[limpid granite]

As in colors?

[spring cairn]

yeah

[limpid granite]

Hmmm now thats a hard one

[spring cairn]

oh it's the exorcists

[tepid glacier]

i read that those chapters on the trailer were from the characters protagonist, that would be on a squadron

i think

[storm jungle]

Grey Knights are entirely their own thing, they dont have anything to do with Astartes 2

[spring cairn]

they look baaad

[tepid glacier]

maybe i'm wrong

[storm jungle]

they are all in the Deathwatch

[spring cairn]

orange onesie

[storm jungle]

"hard one"

Theres a lot of Chapters with shit schemes

crayon squad lmao

[spring cairn]

i really don't like when they're 1 singular color

[storm jungle]

It depends imo

some can look very striking

[tepid glacier]

but are not that terminator armor from a Grey Knight?

[storm jungle]

thats Deathwatch

[spring cairn]

which is why i like the omegamarines

[tepid glacier]

oh i see

[storm jungle]

Terminator armor is something any Chapter can have

[storm jungle]

Kindergarten OC board

[tepid glacier]

damm howling griphons looks awful

[storm jungle]

damn out the gate and already swinging

poor lads

[spring cairn]

lamenters are hard carried by their awsome checkered pauldron

[tepid glacier]

So, are the retributors canon at the moment?

[storm jungle]

Yeah they are

[vagrant fox]

hats dragons or whatever these are is way down near bottom tier

[storm jungle]

since GW officially sanctioned the animation

[tepid glacier]

cool

[storm jungle]

But we dont know the lore on them yet as they havent appared in anything else

and the stuff their creator wrote isnt made canon yet

[spring cairn]

terrifying

[limpid granite]

I really dont like the lamenters color scheme

Bright yellow egh

[tepid glacier]

i was reading this a few minuts ago

[spring cairn]

the bright yellow sucks but the pauldron is awesome

[spare osprey]

I think I managed to get a fine balance with my Homebrew's Indomitus Era using black, white, and a blush pink.

[tepid glacier]

that's why i was asking if could they be some kind of AL

[crystal forum]

imagine there's a hidden female space marine in the animation and GW is forced to call it canon

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats our only source but we dont know if its canon or not as its not really approved as far as we know.

[spring cairn]

checkerboard patterns, sign me up

[storm jungle]

If only

[spare osprey]

Yes please.

[storm jungle]

The best Chapter schemes are the simplest ones

[limpid granite]

The basic ultramarine blue in sm2 is so fucking ugly

If i make an ultramarine i use kantor blue

[spring cairn]

i think they should put checkerboard patterns on more stuff in 40k

[crystal forum]

play orks then

[spring cairn]

no

[tepid glacier]

i have to admit... i really like how ultra marine looks

[storm jungle]

Thats a good take to have

[tepid glacier]

but i miss the old helmet

[vagrant fox]

Nothing wrong with that

[storm jungle]

the most simple colors look the best

[spare osprey]

I am beyond bad with eyeballing colors. Making them look good.
It made my dumb-dumb brain hurt, but I am so happy to make something I enjoyed.

[storm jungle]

Thats all that matters

[limpid granite]

I like shading space marine chapters a little bit darker

[spring cairn]

omega marines are prob my 1

[tepid glacier]

I think my fav it's the Alpha Legion, specially after take the "heretic" side

[spring cairn]

cool heraldry, it's like the ultramarines but betterer

and better scheme

[storm jungle]

Alpha Legion's colors are fantastic

[storm jungle]

I LOVE love the cyan/blue shade they use

[tepid glacier]

uggggg

[storm jungle]

its sexy as fuck

[crystal forum]

i'd smash

[spring cairn]

all unicolor schemes are carried by the trimz

[storm jungle]

Well yeah thats color 101

always need a complimentary 2nd color

[spare osprey]

Dump your boys in Nuln Oil and call it a day.

[tepid glacier]

this one is before being touched by the warp right? i read somewhere that they get some kind of scales on the armor by the warp essence

[limpid granite]

Im quite fond of flesh tearers

[spare osprey]

Just to be funné.

[crystal forum]

all colors need a friend

[storm jungle]

Heresy AL's blue is a bit more faded yeah

but its more or less the exact same scheme

just less saturated

[limpid granite]

This mortificators fanart also really caught my eye

[storm jungle]

its less warp exposure and more GW just wanting to differentiate between 30k / 40k

[crystal forum]

30k is more gritty

[vagrant fox]

30kslop

I really do like it when for some reason people give UMs white pauldrons

[tepid glacier]

are the mortificators, those figthing orks on Astartes 2 trailer?

[vagrant fox]

Ignore the lack of arms but he's popping

[tepid glacier]

can't recognize that chapter

[limpid granite]

At the end with the chainsword

[crystal forum]

what happened to his arms

[limpid granite]

Theyve got a skull and bones aesthetic

[crystal forum]

he has been unarmed

[vagrant fox]

Got the Abaddon no arms curse

[hallow saddle]

Sons of Medusa mentioned 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[spring cairn]

the only good part of the 30k models is the solar auxilia

in my objective opinion

[crystal forum]

cope

[tepid glacier]

Is the entire Alpha Legion chapter equally corrupted by Chaos? I keep reading strange things about whether they're truly heretics, but then I see things like this and they definitely look like real heretics.

[spring cairn]

i love old timey diving suits

ig bioshock just wired me like that

[spare osprey]

I'd die happy to just be a serf to the Luna Wolves for a day.

30slop is better by virtue of not having primaris as was natural when I first found 40k

[tepid glacier]

the algo is trying to seel me a game

fuck off google

[solid horizon]

alpha legions are mostly true heretics

they mess a lot with the imperium and plant cults there and there

[storm jungle]

"Commercially" yes the entire Alpha Legion serves chaos as they have been long splintered and just hate the Imperium for various reasons, also AL are Chaos alligned on tabletop so they are all largely just evil villains.

Realistically some loyalist Alpha Legion exist but we never hear anything about them. Closest you get is some Chaos AL cells thinking they are helping the Imperium by damaging it here and there but as heretic AL put it its largely just for show and doesnt do anything meaningful.

it does kina look weird

it looks very uh, korean

no offensez

[tepid glacier]

totally, looks like a single player mmo

[limpid granite]

Guess what

[tepid glacier]

but it can be a surprise for me to be honest

[limpid granite]

Its being made by pearl abyss

The same ones who made black desert

[tepid glacier]

yeah they have their own engine, this could be huge

thank god btw i'm tired of ue5

[limpid granite]

Its basically black desert but fully single player

[limpid granite]

Apperantly the game runs really well too

[tepid glacier]

this could sound weird, but i think this game will suply my expectations about dragons dogma 2

cause it was dissapointing for me

and idk why but it remimds me on that game somehow

but with steroids

[limpid granite]

Dragons dogma 2 but actualy good and not 50 wolves and goblins copy pasted

[tepid glacier]

and probably not that abandoned

[spring cairn]

dd2 is so cool but they fumbled it

iont get disappointed often but i did for dd2

[rancid cove]

So what's the thing about the Salamanders and the return of Vulkan, like
I never really understood what the Salamanders think they have to do for their primarch to come back

[limpid granite]

they have to collect a number of relics

and if they find them all vulkan returns

[rancid cove]

Hm

[limpid granite]

to my knowledge its just that simple

[rancid cove]

It doesn't really make sense for me cause his body just... heal itself? Can't they just search for that body?

[limpid granite]

i dont believe hes dead

hes just in hiding

[rancid cove]

Also what happened to Russ? I kinda forgot about him

Never knew his fate rlly

[vagrant fox]

More or less said cya I'm out I'll be back with milk later and left

[rancid cove]

But when exactly did he do that? Was it after the death of Emps?

[wary fulcrum]

there's an exact date in the SW 7th ed codex

i'll grab it for you in a minute, just finishing a zoom

[rancid cove]

Oki

[wary fulcrum]

but basically a few hundred years later

I want to say 200 because the Wolf Brothers were founded m31.012, and survived until m32.700 something

[rancid cove]

(Also info on what Mephiston is doing currently in lore if theres any)

[rancid cove]

So basically, right after Emps was put on the throne he decided to peace out to probably rethink some of his life decisions

[wary fulcrum]

211.m31

on the 197th feast of the Emperor's Ascention

So a good while after

he'd already rethought most of them at that point tbf

Pulled the chapter away from being the Imperium's tool

probably regretted giving Magnus a chance too, big fuck up on his part

should have just nuked the whole city from orbit and then gone to kill the survivors, rather than nuking the psychic deathworld around it whislt deliberately leaving the city intact

[rancid cove]

Well guess is just wait and see his come back

[wary fulcrum]

hopefully they go Old Man Leman, full on warp master with one eye

the wulfen idea that keeps getting touted just doesnt work from a lore perspective

[rancid cove]

Kinda wanna read the content that mentions him and Dante

Gotta know a bit more about em

[rancid cove]

Full agree

Odin-style Russ

[wary fulcrum]

exactly, really lean into it

I'd accept only having one hand if they go for ther Tyr run, that'd be cool, but the sacrificing an eye for Odinn and taking it from Magnus would be great

The full knowledge of the warp they both had tempered with not being an idiot

[rancid cove]

Making them both having one eye
Russ losing the eye on the side Magnus still has so they match

[nocturne crest]

What's this?

[storm jungle]

I will place the lexicanum surgically in your cranium

[rancid cove]

Ain't that shit like extinct by now? Pretty sure I remember the blueprints to recreate it no longer exist

[rose thorn]

Oh my fucking god

The tau symbol

[fervent geode]

Yeah it was destroyed by a Magos

[rose thorn]

Is the marathon symbol

[fervent geode]

Too horrifying

[rancid cove]

If there was a way to actually do that I would

PLEASE INPUT ALL 40K LORE AND HISTORY INTO MY BRAIN STEM

[vagrant fox]

By reading you can do it manually

[storm jungle]

You can, its called google

[rancid cove]

Unfortunately they didn't know about tyranids at the time cause it would be pretty useful by now

[vagrant fox]

I've seen this somewhere before

[fervent geode]

Tbh nids might adapt to it

But yeah it wouldve been hellish at first for em

[rancid cove]

I mean like Matrix style learning, wish I could just
download everything about it in a flash

[fervent geode]

I think the DG still have massive Phosphex Stores on their ships, all disgustified

[fervent geode]

Mia Donna Mori, Reaper's Scythe, Endurance and Terminus Est had stores of the stuff iirc

[rancid cove]

Probably, yeah but it sounds like it could damage them a lot
Enough to buy the Imperium more time to fight back better

[fervent geode]

True

[storm jungle]

Could they extract memories and information from someones brain like this in 40k?
Like from a mechanicus/techmarine with some sort of brain implant

[hallow saddle]

maybe but a psyker can also just do it

[storm jungle]

With tech or with psyker powers yeah

[celest dome]

SM could just eat the brain no ?

[fervent geode]

Sort of happened to Kaspian/Narek but yeah

[storm jungle]

Any method works really

[fervent geode]

Yeap

The Alpha Legion love that

[rancid cove]

Psykers aren't in this equation because my OC HATES psykers with all her might

[celest dome]

Her loss

[rancid cove]

I always interpret it as they learn some info but not all of it

[hallow saddle]

me too if im honest

[rancid cove]

Loss...

[arctic talon]

eating the brain isn't complete

knowledge

usually

[fervent geode]

Partial

Enough to fool around as the person you ate

If deliverance lost is to be believed

[limpid granite]

the woman's brain from the exfiltration operation will get her mind probed

so yes

[storm jungle]

I appreciate the "usually" because some books literally just have it work perfectly lmao

40k writing moment

[rancid cove]

She would rather suffer all the cons of not having a psyker/sorcerer/librarian than to deal with them
Psykers are kill on sight for this warband

[fervent geode]

Mortarion ahh decision

[rancid cove]

I mean I don't mind the idea of just being a random chance of learning everything and some times half the stuff

It's a headcanon of mine that it purely depends on the person or the state of the brain/body and shit like that

Pure gamble

[rancid cove]

Fun

[storm jungle]

Its 40k, just make shit up

[rancid cove]

Nosferrus has history with psykers and none of them were good

[fervent geode]

Same as Big PK i guess

[limpid granite]

space marines can also just eat you to learn your memories

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

I like it in the deathwatch books when a Marine does it to an Ork and gets the shittiest memories ever like the Ork being made fun of for being a coward, and then realizing to his horror the breaks on the Orks trukk are gone and the Stick is welded in place at the fastest speed

lol

[fervent geode]

Big Pale King i mean

[fervent geode]

The Brain eating is usually just partial memory gain

As elite said

[rancid cove]

She would like Mortarion if his smell alone didn't melt the flesh from her face

[fervent geode]

He's got too much aura🙏

[fervent geode]

Plague Marines at the meetup

[rancid cove]

Funnily enough the warband does allow the worshipping of nurgle and tolerates the presence of those "blessed" by him
As long as they stay in their own ship and ONLY show up in meetings trough vox communication

[fervent geode]

[rancid cove]

Unfortunately for the warband they're very useful so they can't tell them to fuck off

[rancid cove]

My OC to her Nurgle-following soldiers

[opaque coyote]

I can't help but wonder

I was thinking of making more neutral warp entities

[rancid cove]

She stole an imperial ship solely to separate them there because of how fucking bad they smelled and they corroded everything around them

[opaque coyote]

Based on smaller concepts/domains

[rancid cove]

Always fun to have those

My warband has a few already

[opaque coyote]

Also on an unrelated note

"Men, we're invading an Imperium ship."

"We don't even have the resources for it. Nor the soldi-"

BLAM

"SHUT THE FUCK UP. IF I HAVE TO STAY IN THIS STINK HOLE FOR ONE MORE TERRAN DAY. I WILL ACTUALLY JUST TRY TO RUSH TERRA INSTEAD!"

[rancid cove]

pretty much how it went

[opaque coyote]

Yeah thought about just having the Grim Reaper be there

[rancid cove]

Even funnier because at first they were hesitant until they learned it was to segregate the nurgle followers to the second ship

They instantly agreed

[opaque coyote]

Like I imagine there's some afterlifes

And the Grim Reaper takes most of humanity
