Raine is from Honourbound and she's peak

A male main character can kill an entire civilization, but people will get at the gurl for being a bit sassy

She's a mix of genuine Commissar who will execute people without question but isn't also an idiot

I argued boob plate is dumb and should be phased out and it had a similar effect

Boob plate is a big ouchy to the sternum, yes.

boob plates fine, that sort of embelishment is so common on armour

#

I can rationalise it but I just think it looks mid so clearly it should go

urban spire
#

having a shot or blow redirected to the thickest part of your armour is not a huge problem

rancid cove

Instead of removing it I just think they should customize it more depending in ranking and battle role lmao

their stats are not great

they have the cool miracle rules

They’re not bad on the tabletop

solid horizon

but their units kinda suck imo

arctic talon
#

But they have a human stat line

jade holly
#

I saw that

arctic talon
#

It doesn’t help that this edition their damage output is anemic

arctic talon

Which sucks

spare osprey
arctic talon
#

So they’re just kind of squishy

And don’t hit super hard

They’ve got a lot of tricks and stuff

#

But eh

#

Not the worst lol

#

yeah well it's fine if you wanna see a magic show

You could be Orks or CWE

also more sobs should have bowlcuts this is my final decree about them

They’re not fragile

they have standard human stats

They’re more durable then any other human statted unit

#

Everyone fucking dies fast lol

solid horizon
#

they have good tanks

#

that's all tbh

arctic talon
#

The 40k tabletop has always been absurdly lethal

#

They just lack output this edition

vagrant fox
#

as it should be

Aside from the nundams and tanks

#

penitent engines arent too good

arctic talon
#

Penitent engines have always been kind of shit

solid horizon
#

archo flagellants are good but then they are not really siters

arctic talon
#

It’s always a coin toss if flags or repentia are good

#

They have too much role overlap

solid horizon
#

tbh agents of the imperium in general are very mid

SoB are in agents

But they’re their own army

sob tanks are rhinos with ornaments

urban spire
#

40k doesn't have good looking tanks i don't think

vagrant fox
#

A few imo

solid horizon
#

wrong

arctic talon
#

Ultimately no one in 40k tabletop will ever truly be tanky

#

Because of how it’s designed

vagrant fox
#

Takes forever to find shit, I did like this fanart rework

urban spire
#

that looks good

arctic talon
#

They’re tankier then other stuff

arctic talon
#

I’m not sure about the segmented plating on the stomach area

#

Doesn’t feel very imperium to me for some reason

urban spire
#

you need some articulation there for mobility

#

space marines have it to a lesser extent

solid horizon
#

doesnt look like very good articulation

vagrant fox
#

It works for me but I can see it not being so Imperial

solid horizon
#

one wrong bend and you impale yourself

urban spire
#

because space marines are okay with getting shot in the stomach ig

solid horizon
#

im convinced armor in warhammer isn't actually that useful

#

too many ballistic flaws

#

and then most melee weapons are just lightsabers on steroids

vagrant fox
#

A lot of it is a bit silly but so are most things

solid horizon
#

I mean

#

it's basically parade armor at this point

#

wear whatever makes you feel cool

urban spire
#

space marine armour looks like that because it's easy to paint

#

because space marines are made for 12 year old boys

vagrant fox
#

also cool, keeps the corset thingy. Built like an absolute unit

solid horizon
#

I place more faith in characters who have lesser armor

urban spire
#

that's sick as hell

or fallout 3 power armor

the breastplate reminds me of a tesla cybertruck imo

you CANNOT let techbros ruin a cool aesthetic for you

Yea in that image I don't vibe with it as much as the previous but eh

#

could be the lighting

urban spire
#

you must remember that musk has never had a single original idea in his life, with the exception of naming his company 'x'

arctic talon
solid horizon
#

why dont they wear a fully segmented chestplate instead

urban spire
#

and you can tell that's his idea because he's peen pushing for it for decades, and it's fucking stupid

arctic talon
#

It feels like Tau or LoV armor

solid horizon
#

and hide their armor under a fully covering cape

#

like those dudes in nausicaa

arctic talon
#

Look blocky stuff is cool

solid horizon
#

it would make them look more nun like

arctic talon
#

Who cares if some shithead also likes it

Kill them with your block

I do like seeing remnants of a more advanced past in the Imperium but I can see it being too Tau or LOV

#

yeah well I disrespect english as a language

#

If you think about it, the cyber truck is basically a Harrison armory product from Lancer

solid horizon
#

sometimes words dont come

arctic talon
#

It’s bulky, angular, overheats

#

English is uh, nonsense

urban spire
#

get the words for cool shit right

arctic talon
#

And vaguely facist

urban spire
#

english sucks

it's true

but sometimes you need to learn the words for cool things

#

like mantles

vagrant fox
#

Maybe Lancer is cool

solid horizon
arctic talon

lol

#

Actually Harrison Armory makes things that are actually safeish

solid horizon
#

mantle with a bolt gun sticking out

arctic talon
#

So maybe it’s not a cybertruck

#

They’re so fucking ugly lol

vagrant fox
#

I think I've decided the Rogal Dorn tank looks cool, turret is still a bit too stumpy and it has too many hull MGs but whatever

solid horizon
#

capes and mantles are so drippy

#

look at this guy

#

he aurafarms so much

arctic talon
#

Slaves to darkness have more drip then anything in 40k

urban spire

this is called a cope (lol)

vagrant fox
#

This Harrison Armory has some decent looking mechs, for being mechs

urban spire
#

it looks shit on these old pedos

#

but it would look fantastic on a tall woman who could kill you

I could vibe with this Tokugawa, Tagetes, or maybe even Gilgamesh

Catholic drip is eternally dripless

Why do necromunda homeless people have more guchi that the inquisition

urban spire
#

because they're funded by the great houses

#

necromunda lore is incredibly fucked lol

#

they're trying to apply some sort of selection pressure philosophy to their industry by way of having sanctioned gang violence IN their industrial centers

arctic talon

The necromunda gangs are directly tied to industries on the planet

vagrant fox

I am the only one with clarity of vision

vagrant fox
#

Necromunda is very cool, more Necromunda books

arctic talon
#

Escher does pharmaceuticals and drug production

Orlock does mining, weapons production and shipping

Cawdor does recycling and garbage gathering along with faith stuff

Goliath does armor production, forging and refinement of materials

Delaque does espionage, and information gathering

Van Saar is involved in repairs, tech salvage and mass manufacturing

#

Now granted all of them make guns and armor

But orlock and Goliath make the most guns and armor

They're a weird mix of fish and bovine

spare osprey
opaque coyote
#

But they also have zero marrow

limpid granite
opaque coyote
#

Apparently their blood coagulation and regulation of their immune system is

#

Dispersed on their skin

#

Which is why they're blue

#

They also have trace amounts of cobalt rather than iron (which is why they're blue)

#

Also fun fact, human made drugs have little effect on T'au and vice versa

#

Essentially, if you gave a Tau a blunt. They probably wouldn't feel shit

#

Or die

#

Depends on how their body interacts with the chemical obviously

opaque coyote
misty vector
#

Tau blood also smells really bad apparently

opaque coyote
#

Would likely be poisonous to human beings due to the cobalt amount

#

And considering it's spread throughout their skin and muscles. It'd be difficult to remove enough cobalt traces

#

So essentially, eating T'au would be poisonous to our weak Gue'vesa stomach and blood stream

#

Kroot truly have a cuisine on hand

#

... honestly I'm now thinking of a Kroot Chef as an idea

Maybe they need less cobalt than humans need iron

From all the factions in 40k, the Votann and the Tau are the only 2 I know next to nothing about

They're alien

Hell

According to the Lexicanum

"Unlike mammals, T'au bones do not possess marrow - the regulation of their immune system and platelet coagulation is dispersed beneath their skin."

And the wound just fucking explodes into a waterfall

outer wave
#

Yeah but they at least can keep making blood cells

misty vector
#

Would there be any benefit to it?

outer wave
#

Just need pressure to keep from bleeding out

outer wave
celest dome
#

Just because they have blood-ish making cells in their skins doesn't make them blood ballons

opaque coyote
outer wave
#

Assuming a good amount of it is active, there'd be alot of crowding of cells, and we're not taking in consideration of DNA damage/cancer that could arise from skin melonomas

opaque coyote
#

But it's not like Imperium MFS live as long as them anyways

So the shitty horns fit perfectly

So I can imagine the T'au playing their marching theme as every Imperial mf just suddenly begins shooting

#

"SHTT THE FUCK UP-"

#

"THIS SHIT SOUNDS LIKE ASS"

#

On the other hand, living as a Gue'vesa on a Tau planet...

#

Imagine going to a bar and the music just sounds like wet farts

#

And you basically have to tolerate it

...

#

Actually that's just going to a bar during christmas

Because they can't handle the T'au version of "All I want for Etheralmas"

Would you guys say the term “Danse Macabre” fits the Necrons?

opaque coyote
#

To the point of skinning people to try and feel comfortable again

jade holly
#

I’m thinking more on the literal idea of the Dance. Like one giant Silver tide is a never ending dance where the dancers just get back up to keep fighting

#

Cause doesn’t Danae Macabre literally translate to Dance of Death?

spare osprey
opaque coyote
#

I don't think Necrons dance generally but it would be a really fun dynasty

#

Or something

jade holly
#

I had the idea of a Necron overlord who hears a universal song and can manipulate/play alongside it to affect reality in a small scale level and it would amplify the speed and intensity of the Reanimation Protocol at the cost of permanent damage to the Necrons affected while amplifying aggression

#

Initiating a “Danse Macabre”

#

You would say

opaque coyote
# jade holly Metaphorical where the “dance” is warfare

I would say.

I think it applies to Necrons similar to that delusional general that treats it as if it was pre-transferrence.

I don't think the concept applies to some of them though.

Like Trazyn is focused on another dance.

The dance of stealing yo shit

opaque coyote
#

Yes

#

Do it

opaque coyote
jade holly

Just trying to figure out the whole lore side and how she interacts with the universal song

opaque coyote
#

Type shit

jade holly
#

Or even if the Danse Macabre is a reality alteration or just a special override command

opaque coyote
#

Because the T'au aren't stupid

#

They won't uplift the weird new minor Xenos race who skin people alive

#

They generally stay away from that shit because although they don't know the full details.

They do know it's generally bad

#

I think at most they would watch

#

Their presence could still be trouble though

My poor governess can only afford a 'fuck off blue bish' letter as she's dealing with trying to make sure the rest of the sector doesn't fall.

#

Generally Necron stuff is technological in nature

#

And although basically magic in how it works. I can imagine that

#

No it isn't altering reality. It's just the equivalent of skipping past the loading screen

opaque coyote
#

I can imagine that it would be a temptation to allow them to help

#

In exchange for some territory and resources of course...

#

"The wider Imperium doesn't need to know"

#

But if she accepts, she would have to deal with the possibility of others finding out

spare osprey
#

The whole ordeal is taking place juuust about as soon as the Great Rift opened.
The Imperium's got... bigger things to worry 'bout.

opaque coyote
#

The temptation of allying and having a weird border territory as the deal

#

But she also doesn't want to betray the Emperor

#

Oh how would he think of her consorting with Xenos??

#

Also the Inquisition

#

The absolute horror.
-# On top of the fact that the Astartes that promised to help with the sector's little crusade had to... eh... fuck off.
She's doing her best.

opaque coyote
#

Would be busy obviously but I can imagine the possibility of a free inquisitior finding out would still be there

#

And they might be a puritan variety

#

Would she risk consorting in exchange for small but very real possibility that she would get cut off from the Imperium

# rocky gale I don't know what either of those things are

Roko’s Basilisk is a thought experiment where if you don’t help the “basilisk”, directly impact its creation, or literally do nothing once it knows of you it’ll punish you. The only way to escape the basilisk’s wrath is to not even know it exists

#

And Ammentar is just the big boogeyman Necron that got revealed in 500 Worlds

300 to 400 dollars USD

Horde factions cost the most

Stuff like custodes is very affordable for a 40k army

#

AoS is cheaper

#

Then 40k

#

And then the skirmish/squad scale games are even cheaper

Stuff like Killteam

# arctic talon Tyberos in terminator armor did not have a great time against 3 of them

Te Kahurangi had seen the Red Wake fight and kill many times before. Regardless, it was always a special privilege to witness the elemental destruction unleashed when the Master of the Carcharodon Astra was called upon to render judgement.

Tyberos met the first of the boarding tyranid warriors head on, his own charge making the entire service tunnel quake. The force of his impact carried the xenos off its hooves, slamming it through the air and then back down into the deck plates with an ear-splitting crack. Tyberos planted one great boot on its chitin- plated breast and, fast as lightning, slashed down from left to right with Hunger. The great swing of the gauntlet’s charged lightning claws sheared through the wall to the Carcharodon’s left, severed the warrior’s head, and carried on to slice into the wall on the right, leaving a trio of glowing gouges to either side that were immediately splattered with purple ichor.

The Red Wake moved on immediately, his weight cracking open the twitching warrior’s carapace as he lunged towards the next of its brood-kindred. Slake took this one, its wicked, hooked tips scything down from the warrior’s skull to its groin, releasing a burst of viscous gore and writhing bio-things. A follow-up thrust from Hunger cracked the tyranid’s skull apart in a welter of grey cranial matter.

Anyways point being yes horde shooter cool

but I think shit like nid warriors being on equal footing also would have been cool as hell

lol

Yes

#

Tyberos is in terminator armor

It's a tad bit different

he has relic lighting claw chainfist hybrid

#

Also arent primaris terminators not slow at all

opaque coyote
#

Than what Titus does

arctic talon
#

no

#

primaris in terminator are the same

#

as normal termies

#

lol

#

beyond the extra primaris organs

surreal nest
#

Comparable yes slow but not slow by like our standards

arctic talon
#

but the armor has the same limitations and issues

#

nah marines in terminator are kinda slow

surreal nest
#

Yeah but like how slow

arctic talon
#

slow(for a marine)

surreal nest
#

Because regular marines are the speed of a chevy

arctic talon
#

They're like slightly faster then normal humans

#

no running in them tho

#

fast walk yeah

#

they used to not be allowed to advance

#

and had a rule called inexorable advance instead

surreal nest
#

I think they would fit in sm2 sue me

arctic talon
#

I agree

#

Death guard also used to have that rule

surreal nest
#

Even as a power up at the worst

arctic talon
#

to represent how they're fat fucks

#

Inexorable advance was used for anything that was "slow" but not really in universe

#

Wraithguards had it

#

Basically like fast walking lol

hey looki

ignoring all movement modifiers is good

opaque coyote

also here is a funny excerpt for no reason

opaque coyote
# arctic talon hey looki

Saiixek gasped as he felt a sudden thrust of cold within his physical volume. Such was the level of disconnect from his organic form, it took him several seconds to comprehend that his body had been injured. Saiixek looked down to see a length of white steel jutting from his body, a gracefully curved sword blade of non-Imperial design.

‘How curious,’ he said, as the blade was withdrawn and stabbed home three more times.

This time there was no ignoring the pain and Saiixek fell to his knees. Blood and oil spilled from the precision-cut wounds in his body, flooding from his internal structures at a rate that he had not the capacity to know was mortal with any sense other than his eyes. He looked up as a woman circled around from behind him, clad in form-fitting armour of emerald plates. [...]

‘Eldar?’ asked Saiixek. ‘Ridiculous. You cannot be here.’

'You destroyed our vessel,’ said the eldar warrior-woman. ‘Now we destroy yours.’

‘Illogical,’ said Saiixek. ‘You will die too.’

'To prevent your master from acquiring such power, we would die a thousand deaths.’

'Outrageous hyperbole,’ said Saiixek, slumping against a control panel as the life flooded out of him.

But I remember a weird anecdote where 6 custodes went against like

A fucking army of Tyranids

#

Yup.

And apparently it's also incredibly inaccurate to established lore as well

#

But for no good reason

#

Awesome

#

I find it funny that the Custodes have two incidents where their power scaling was notably inaccurate

#

But in completely opposite directions

vagrant fox
#

Yeah they teleport off a ship to preserve some geneseed and dig a narrow tunnel and mostly all die

#

Or somekind of inpromptu fortification I forget

#

Every writer also forgets the swarmlord is psychic so I'll let that one slide

# opaque coyote I think, please do not quote me on this

You know

I often glaze the mantis warriors on purpose, but this time it’s purely because I was flicking through Warrior Brood recently

And the Mantis Warriors have a handful of sergeants who go full harakiri but do more than Tyberos in thaf clip
