Still, why lock up the Guard Regiment that knows the planet best imo, feels odd

#

They just wanna push guard without the Steel Legion i guess

Are Zahndrekh and Obyron lovers or is that left vague for fan interpretation?

Wait is this the first time we get a canon voice for Yarrick?

Ironic considering a lot of people associate the Kriegers with Nazis despite them literally being WORLD WAR 1 IN THE-

# jade holly And it pans over to show it’s the Red Baron’s plane

With Kriegers basically being a mix of several countries. For the infantry in particular...

Helmet is a weird mix of a German Stahlhelm and French Adrain.

The Gas Mask is a mixture of British Box Respirator with some german features.

The Infantry uniform is the French WW1 uniform but not bright ass blue (which is probably why people don't notice).

The Lucius Pattern Lasgun no. 98 represents the French Hotchkiss Machine Gun with the "no. 98" part being reminscient of the Gwehr 98.

And finally the boots are also French.

#

Overall, it'd be more accurate for all of the Krieger's to have french accents.

#

Replace the shovel meme but with a Baguette and a glass of wine

fervent geode
#

Kriegers are Frenchies

#

Ewwwwwwwwwwww

jade holly
fervent geode
#

If Kriegers had those the Steel Legion would still exist and they'd be niche garbage

Oh yeah also comparison between the Hotchkiss and the Lucius Pattern Lasgun.

You can see the similarities with the barrel.

crystal forum

something i noticed when it comes to fictional WW2 era equipment is people will often just look at the helmet of a uniform and end their observations there

fervent geode

Which is stupid

Because the Stahlhelm is really fucking prominent everywhere at many times

jade holly
opaque coyote
# crystal forum idk what that is

WW1 incident. The Battle of Osowiec Fortress

Basically, Germans gassed a castle the Russians were occupying with Mustard gas. The Germans walked forward with gas masks on, only to see a bunch of the soldiers still alive and attacking. Wearing bloody rags with scalding skin and committing a desperate counter charge.

jade holly
#

They did it to hold off the Germans until reinforcements arrived

opaque coyote
#

with their organs dissolving

#

Along with said scalding skin.

#

They looked like zombies that came back to attack.

crystal forum
#

huh i think a canadian division did that too

#

but they used piss soaked bags

opaque coyote
#

The Germans fled from the trench network in a mass panic and they got successfully driven off due to the sheer terror

jade holly

#

Piss is the second best option to not die of mustard gas

#

Of course, second best is far from first AKA an actual gas mask

jade holly

Yeah

Kriegsmen who know they can’t survive and just Hail Mary into the enemy line

Lorewise what would a skitari bring to the group of rejects? To my understanding its not like they would outpower the ogryn or use psyker magicks?

guy was bitching about how kurze was a moron for killing himself

and how the demon primarchs are doing jack shit in the warp

opaque coyote
# fervent geode Maybe Daemonesque now?

Honestly thinking of him kinda looking like a statue.

A statue, glowing red in it's incandescence. The sigils on his head glowing with gold. He would think of himself as the equivalent of a Bodhisattva. An enlightened being in Mahayana Buddhism who, motivated by supreme compassion, delays entering nirvana to help all sentient beings achieve enlightenment

fervent geode
#

Think about it

#

He follows the Eightfold Path

jade holly
#

I want something akin to this. A focus on mouths and words all over his body

fervent geode
#

And its Four Noble Truths

jade holly
#

He is the voice of Chaos

#

put emphasis on his words and mouth

fervent geode
#

Not transcendent enough imo, i'd like him more inhumane

i thought lorgar was still relatively unchanged

fervent geode

Last we saw him

jade holly
#

Vox Daemonum

fervent geode
#

And he haven't seen him in a long while

jade holly
#

Voice of Daemons

#

Here’s what I want

#

First of all, no eyes

#

I want him to be blinded by his zealotry

#

Literally letting Chaos guide him

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

Then make his armor etched with glowing words of chaotic and daemonic faith and guidance

#

And with his role as the head priest of chaos and essentially the Herald of Chaos itself, make his form have representing influence of all the Chaos gods

#

He should look the most corrupted

crystal forum
#

still wild to think that bitch ass lorgar started the HH just because his daddy told him not to worship him

fervent geode
#

He wanted truth this whole time

fervent geode
#

He needs to see it

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

I mean

#

He was an idiot who tried to coup Horus

#

He got kicked out

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

But he has chaos, and they guide him to his truth. I think making him blind would be a better representation of the despair in it. He wants to witness truth but can never truly see it, only know it through the words of Chaos

i can only think of star wars where an ecumenopolis isn't treated like the shithole it would inevitably be

#

every other setting i know rightfully shits on the idea

#

even foundation which probably was the first sci fi book to use the idea

arctic talon
#

It’s Sa’cea

#

Which is slowly becoming a shithole

#

The tau on it live comparably worse lives and the earth caste keep building their stupid fucking hive structures lol

#

Less luxury products, less food and water

#

More cramped conditions

#

But hey, the earth caste are happy and they’re really good at urban warfare

crystal forum
#

it's probably still better than a human hive world

arctic talon
#

It’s explicitly better

#

And cleaner

#

Just way worse then any other developed tau empire world

Well he used to be but is more of a symbolic person at this point

rancid cove

It has been like

11k years since he last actually led something

midnight dragon
#

He officially is still the leader but in practice he isn't

midnight dragon
#

To be honest he's probably clinically dead

rancid cove

Such as reviving saints, talking to Guilliman and saving him

rancid cove

He's talked to Guilliman

Gullible man should have died

rancid cove

He is still alive, just unable to use his physical body

He has been doing shit from the Immaterium since he was put on the throne

The Emperor is alive, bit 10k years of Throne have made him less than what he was. He's more of a conciousness than a person

Ian is actually the only good Loretuber because he's not pulling shit out his ass, gives some meta history too, and actually quotes sources

Also importantly: Actually knows the lore

Every other loretuber is quoting memes and skimming fandom wiki

I want to get into the table top but that seems like such a expensive hobby, I grew up playing DND in high school so like, would it be worth it?

If you are into miniatures yes

but its a VERY time consuming expensive hobby

Necromunda is a narrative-driven skirmish game about gang warfare on the titular Imperial Hive World. Its insanely cheap, insanely fun. The price of one fully-ready-to-play gang is the same as a single unit for 40k. Its also the in-house Old Boys Club of GW, so it consistently gets the best art, minis, and writing team. Darktide has actually taken a lot from Necromunda from cosmetics to even terrain pieces. If you liked D&D, every member of your gang isnt just a generic face but has their own name and fighter profile

#

See here

#

And Necromunda the planet has the most lore of any singular planet, so its easy to fall in love with the setting

fervent geode
#

Come play Kill Team its fun and less expensive than 40k, but ill also say munda is good

heady rivet

How much did that cost me?

it's cheaper because i forgot how much i paid

fervent geode

Yes

Don't trust their Necromunda lies

seems legit

Because that would mean theyre not properly taking care of the machine

So they would be looked down upon their mistreat of its machine spirit

Kill Team is 40k but based sigmas fighting in teams of 5 elite sigma teams

rancid cove
#

I rest my case

urban spire
#

they cant all be sigma team

fervent geode

Yes

#

Munda is like a skirmish game set on one 40k planet called munda

midnight dragon

#

Munda is like chicago

rancid cove

also because GW just wanted to do fantasy first

then 40k came along

So they had to pull out the life support and do age of sigma

fervent geode

Huh

well there are madmen who play it on a tennis field sized maps with the normal titans but that's a whole other ordeal
