[vagrant fox]

Guard sometimes eat ork iirc

[summer mural]

~~ also each other~~

[daring creek]

Chicken jockey

[solid horizon]

Squig Jockey

How is squig meat

[summer mural]

good

[opaque coyote]

You have to notably cook them a lot though. Because the spores can rest inside your stomach and in your shit.

So only well done steak unfortunately

[summer mural]

squigs are extremely adaptable, including as food

[opaque coyote]

SMs can eat it raw though but they're SMs

[summer mural]

you can have them be pets, livestock, bombs, artillery pieces, cavalry, mounts, construction support

[daring creek]

P sure orks eat squigs

[solid horizon]

Would eating ork be vegan

[opaque coyote]

Yeah they're their uh

Everything

Even hair

[daring creek]

Tf

Ew

[opaque coyote]

Yeah all of the hair the Orks have?

Wig squig

Not joking

[vagrant fox]

`Haulage servitors lumbered in dull-eyed trains, carrying bales of plas-wrapped meat fresh from several large and noisy grinders. The air stank with it, cold and bloody and reeking of churned flesh. Rank upon rank of thawed grox carcasses were being fed into the machines, the herd beasts rendered into slab and destined for hungry Militarum bellies.

But that wasn’t all.

A second meat supply supplemented the first, and Efrem balked at the sight of it. A great heap of corpses were being thrown into the grinders. Limp and blank-eyed, shot through with las-beams or bullet holes. A tangle of malformed limbs, and tusks and hooves and brutish snouts, and slit-nosed faces and lithe bodies. He recognised greenskins and a few others. Heat flared across his skin, despite the cold room, and his heart hammered as the barrage fell upon him again, taking his leg, tearing him apart just like the meat in those wretched fucking grinders. The sheer horror of it, wondering how far the conspiracy went, how deep. Most of Varangantua’s citizens hadn’t ever seen a xenos, and those that had, not in decades. Many thought aliens were just a myth.`

Varangantua is so cool

[daring creek]

Bruh

[solid horizon]

Why do orks never have other haircuts than that tail thing

Or the bob marley ork warboss

[daring creek]

R orks even safe to eat

[summer mural]

groxes are a thing yeah

beef basically iirc

[opaque coyote]

Yes but you have to cook them thoroughly

[summer mural]

yeah squigs are super adaptable

[opaque coyote]

To get rid of any potential spores

So no rare steak for you

[summer mural]

ork infrastructure runs on squigs

[opaque coyote]

Unfortunately only Well Done

[solid horizon]

Nvm it's grafted on

[opaque coyote]

Hilariously fitting to the Orks tbh

[vagrant fox]

It's more greenskins are specifically mentioned in there

[opaque coyote]

They would be the type to cook things well done

No matter what

Either that or completely raw

No in-between

[summer mural]

what do votaan dorfs eat

im assuming they do the whole alcoholic dorf thing

but fantasy dorfs eat like, barley made from rock or something

and stone bread etc

[mossy peak]

were there any normal humans fighting with horus during the heresy

[summer mural]

people eat well in fantasy though, unless you're a bretonnian peasant

[summer mural]

yes billions

[arctic talon]

grown food mostly, lots of alcohol known as Bru

[summer mural]

traitor guardsmen, titan legion pilots etec

[arctic talon]

mostly veggies and mushrooms

and other starches

meat is a luxury they sometimes eat

but its seen as inefficent

[vagrant fox]

Irn Bru

[summer mural]

traitor admech( not exactly normal humans though)

[arctic talon]

Bru varies wildly in terms of serving method

but its very nutrient dense alcohol often

also sometimes its served warm

[opaque coyote]

...ew

[summer mural]

bru

[opaque coyote]

[summer mural]

warm sake is good

alsoo

Bru is like

cool name for liquor

BRU

[vagrant fox]

Beer not so good warm
A lot of other alcohols are

[opaque coyote]

I can't help but think of a cut off "bruh" sfx

[summer mural]

beer is terrible warm personally.

[daring creek]

Make warm alochol illegal

[summer mural]

i think some folks somehow swear by warm beer and i dont get it

[vagrant fox]

I can't imagine anything but Irn Bru

[opaque coyote]

I imagine Bru is just various alcohol in general judging by the sounds

Just highly nutrious also

Somehow

[summer mural]

is bru like their inspiration war cry before they drill into a planet

[opaque coyote]

Nah we all know it in our hearts

ROCK AND STO-

[summer mural]

like " BRU BRU BRU BRU BRU" as a drill whirls up

[opaque coyote]

"WE'RE RICH!"

[summer mural]

the beer animation in deep rock galactic is actually well done

[vagrant fox]

Illegal urself

[summer mural]

it actually looks appetitizing af

[daring creek]

Im jealous asf

[vagrant fox]

Heated mulled wine is top tier

[daring creek]

Everything time

[last stone]

Cognac needs to be heated a bit

[opaque coyote]

True

Even the elven brew looks good.

[summer mural]

disgusting.

[opaque coyote]

Also

https://youtu.be/NDFw9ubrlrg?si=zLvHLGCs_Tfzr3S2

[vagrant fox]

Akvavit is alright heated

[summer mural]

elven brew.

MUSHROOM

[opaque coyote]

Dwarves when they see gold:

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-meme-buzz-year-copy-meme-gif-4668439001950303425

[summer mural]

yes weve all spammed it

mushroom better though

[opaque coyote]

"WE'RE RICH!"

[summer mural]

MUSHROOM

[opaque coyote]

True

[summer mural]

BRU BRU BRU BRU BRU BRU

moments later, the moon sized drill broke through the crust of terra

[opaque coyote]

I find it funny that multiplayer video games sometimes create a Hivemind moment.

Like in TF2, you're expected to killbind as like

A punchline of sorts

It's interesting

Imagine if the Tyranids acted like this

[vagrant fox]

https://tenor.com/view/lunch-time-its-scotland-irnbru-gif-12366814

What votann eat

I know it

[daring creek]

Yeah its almost tradition atp lmfao

[vagrant fox]

Endless masses of beige food

[opaque coyote]

Instead of being a mindless ravenous horde .

They just gather around a Space Marine corpse and constantly screech

"WE'RE RICH!"

[summer mural]

"beige food" LMAO

[opaque coyote]

The hive mind for no reason blows up it's Genestealer in front a Guardsman because it's funny

[summer mural]

what do drukharii eat though, like do they take deep pleasure in feasting on food

do they think sprinkling a sandwhich with the blood of a baby deepens its flavor or something

[daring creek]

The hivemind can pop its genestealers?

Also

What happens if a genestealer is made a servitor. Like do they find out during the process or is it hard to notice

[summer mural]

its prob just considered dead by the hive

[opaque coyote]

We know some details.

Vect hosts meals that basically torture people (wow who knew).

One included eating an Ethereal's heart while it was dying (not dead btw) while forcing all of the T'au prisoners to watch

[celest dome]

BIOMASSSSSS

[summer mural]

bruh

thats dope

eating a still alive ethereals heart is like...

top tier fucked up

drukhari top themsleves everytime

[opaque coyote]

Dawn of War: Soulstorm

Apparently

[summer mural]

really? ive played that idr him eating an ethereals heart

[opaque coyote]

Generally I think the richer Drukhari eat meals that have a nice taste of suffering

[summer mural]

but its been a while

[opaque coyote]

It's apparently if the Deldar manage to capture the T'au stronghold. The narrator mentions a great banquet in which Vect does it

[summer mural]

idr but sounds right

[vagrant fox]

You probably just get a servitor I'd imagine

[summer mural]

vect is a special special kind of fucked in a grimdark universe

i prefer the nids to drukhari

[opaque coyote]

Idk what the poorer Drukhari eat though.

It's worth noting that in the Dark Eldar trilogy. In the second book, the antagonist Archon invites a bunch of people who worked with him to a dinner. Both loyal and traitor. Every food item was poisoned but some counteracted another poison.

So if he liked you, he would recommend a dish that would save your life due to the counteracting poison

[storm jungle]

Commorragh is literally Night City, Low Commorragh drukhari basically just eat anything

bazaars, shops etc and such exist

[opaque coyote]

The dishes that were served included:

Haemonvore Cutlets - Haemonvores are the leech things that Haemonculi use as steeds and protection. Apparently rich with blood.

Jellied Pin-Stars - Probably some form of edible sea cucumber or something.

And various types of meat. Specifically mentioned to be procured from exotic, rare, or even extinct species. A taste you will literally never find again.

[rancid cove]

i left, took a bath, ate, watched 3 videos, came back and yall are still talking about food

fat fucking chuds

[vagrant fox]

The Imperial Navy should have a grimdark ships biscuit

[summer mural]

they dont?

[celest dome]

Corpse Starch Hard Tack

[vagrant fox]

Idk

[daring creek]

now this makes me think about those biscuits I ate on delta

[heady rivet]

I choose to believe they do

[summer mural]

arent those basest imp rations corpse starch, just pass them out as bread slices

thats basically hard tack

[vagrant fox]

Shit what you eat and it gives you that phosphor jaw

[civic gale]

familiar faces

finally

[daring creek]

they should make corpse starch taste good atleast

[civic gale]

with the new update gen chat has been filled with new people

[summer mural]

although its interesting that on an imp boat theres probably food of a higher quality stored for the captain

maybe

prob like on a big ship

like a gloriana class with an admiral he probably eats better food than the other guys

its like that on real ships too pretty much

its just funny though, since its all just stored in the same place

[storm jungle]

ıt does. Its a reference to IRL royal navy stuff

where the captains/higher officers are never to be seen with the actual sailors or talk/acknowledge them

and they get all the good treatment, food etc

[summer mural]

yeah its a class thing

[storm jungle]

Yeah basically

[summer mural]

its just a nice example of it, since its a boat

[opaque coyote]

Legitimately have no idea how you would make Hardtack worse

[summer mural]

and not society per se

[storm jungle]

back then an officer actually talking or interacting with the sailors they commanded was a very alien concept

now in 40k they just treat them as subhuman slaves

[opaque coyote]

I guess

No water to soften it so that you can actually eat it

You have to smash it

So that you can swallow it

You can't even chew

You just have to smash it into tiny enough pieces to swallow and hope you don't choke

There. Grimdark

[vagrant fox]

As I said eat it long enough and it gives you that phossy jaw because of the Necromunda additives
I'm the only one with clarity of vision

[summer mural]

yees

phosphorus jaw= clarity of vision

[opaque coyote]

Ah yes

White Phosphorous fumes

My favorite additives

Tasty™

[summer mural]

how much cocaine and acid do you take vect can take in one go

[celest dome]

He probably wouldn't feel anything anymore

[vagrant fox]

https://tenor.com/view/saw-gerrera-andor-crazy-saw-gif-2676523781363347074

[opaque coyote]

...

Vect has multiple bodies

So the answer is "yes"

[summer mural]

with 1 body 😩

[opaque coyote]

Whatever the amount is. You would probably die way earlier than Vect would

[midnight dragon]

What are the votann and why does it seem people just forget they exist? For years I thought the galaxy only consisted of the Imperium, the Tyranids, orks, chaos, eldar, and tau

[storm jungle]

They are space dwarves. No one has forgotten they existed. Also the galaxy is a massive fucking space, not even the Imperium has full lenght of it.

[opaque coyote]

Space Dwarves with AI friends.

Relatively new faction which is why they barely have lore

[midnight dragon]

When did they come out?

[summer mural]

theyve been around the whole time, they are just getting more and more lore

[storm jungle]

Like a few years ago

but they are a legacy faction

they existed beforehand

just got updated for modern lore

[opaque coyote]

The squats

[raven stone]

Way back at 2nd edition.

[opaque coyote]

But they technically all got eaten

But it turns out that it was only that particular planet

So

[summer mural]

because nobodys sick of alcoholic mining dorfs across all fantasy and science fiction

[opaque coyote]

Eh

[midnight dragon]

Idk if pre imperium counts as beforehand, necrons seems like they'd be beforehand

[storm jungle]

It does

[opaque coyote]

Alcohol

[vagrant fox]

Don't let these people lie to you squats are old and esteemed

[storm jungle]

Squats predate the Imperium

because their origins lie in DAOT

[summer mural]

alcohol nod

[summer mural]

dance of attack on titan?

[midnight dragon]

Is that why I've heard no Warhammer youtubers even acknowledge they exist?

[storm jungle]

I mean they do?

what youtubers do you even watch lol

[midnight dragon]

Ill list

[storm jungle]

acutally why am i even asking, all 40k youtubers suck

[storm jungle]

aw god

[celest dome]

They're not mentioned often cause they don't really do much in the grand scale of things

[summer mural]

they just play deep rock galactic with each other with better equipment and robot friends

[raven stone]

And with them being a recent re-introduction they haven’t had a chance to do much yet.

[storm jungle]

I also dont feel like a youtuber not mentioning them means much on their relevance lol

[opaque coyote]

The Votann are basically the closest thing to a neutral faction that we have.

They generally sit back and sell weapons while they watch all the other factions fight

[summer mural]

they arent doing the whole cathedral orchestra thing like the imperium

[storm jungle]

They arent neutral

all Leagues do their own thing

[summer mural]

also they got ai overlords

[vagrant fox]

Originally 1st or 2nd edition before getting removed and then reintroduced with a remake a few years ago
They're oldnew

[opaque coyote]

The closest thing

Didn't say they are.

They're in the same camp of the Craftworld Eldar in terms of... generally (ignore Biel-Tan) wanting to do their own thing

[storm jungle]

Again depends on the League in question

Same with craftworlds too lol

[summer mural]

Kraftworld Eldar

like the cheese

alright time to sleep

[storm jungle]

no

[vagrant fox]

For Sain Hann for glory decapitate 10,000 tau or imperials or necrons or literally anything

[storm jungle]

😭

[midnight dragon]

Krakduk

GimGam_glitzdakka

Those are the ones I watch consistently at least

[storm jungle]

Never heard of any of these

[opaque coyote]

IyBraesil literally being a matriarchial society moment

[storm jungle]

Societal stuff doesnt have anything to do with the way they interact with other factions moment

[midnight dragon]

Gimgam is basically if an ork made a YouTube channel

[storm jungle]

Well yeah why would an ork channel talk about space dwarves then

[opaque coyote]

I am aware but I just like to point out their differences in culture moment

[summer mural]

just get your 40k lore from john cena

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

if theres a gif or a sticker of john cena

I cant see him

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-you-cant-see-me-youre-blind-wrestler-gif-14537197

do bull centaur renders not appreciate being ridden as mounts

or centigors for that matter

[opaque coyote]

Been watching Sopranos lately?

[storm jungle]

"been"

[midnight dragon]

Because his content includes explaining the lore of other factions not just orks.

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

No offense but if you wanna know lore you should read it yourself

youtubers are terrible for 40k lore

minus like 1-2 of them lol

[summer mural]

sopranos in 2026 lets go

oh god skyrim

[midnight dragon]

Now normally id.believe you but this guy sources everything from the books

[storm jungle]

DAMN

[daring creek]

wow krieg

[storm jungle]

now thats fucking rare

okay nevermind then hes trustworthy

[vagrant fox]

I haven't heard anything bad about Krakduk, just that he takes a more lighthearted and fun approach which might skew things

[opaque coyote]

Okay yeah I'm done

Nap time

[storm jungle]

inb4 you're back in like 5m

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-cat-sleep-cat-gif-1833006167751974340

[daring creek]

dilara would you happen to like the movie goodfellas

I saw goodfellas in class I think

[vagrant fox]

Slopfellas

[storm jungle]

Yeah its good

[summer mural]

not if I nap first

goodfellas is legendary

[storm jungle]

I love people watching it thinking the gangster life is great

(they end up in the bottom of the ocean)

[summer mural]

its a cautionary tale, like a lot of scorsese tales

you catch yourself enjoying it till you see the ending

[vagrant fox]

Never seen it never will I'm exceedingly racist to italian americans

[storm jungle]

Sigsen is exceedingly racist to intelligence

[summer mural]

wolf of wall street is the same

[storm jungle]

😔

[vagrant fox]

Yes

[storm jungle]

the funny part is the guy whos the Wolf IRL helped with the movie

what a prick lmao

[summer mural]

yeah

and hes still a prick

[vagrant fox]

The bedrock of ignorance keeps me safe

[storm jungle]

guy is the type to do crypto

[summer mural]

i actually read the book its based on which he wrote, and after the ending scene in the movie he goes on to write about a bunch more horrible shit he went on to do

and the partying ofc

books very well written though, hes very honest

[storm jungle]

LOL

well thats nice of him i guess

hope he dies from a overdose

[summer mural]

its also funny af

theres a scene where he does a bunch of blow with sylvester stallone on a plane

[storm jungle]

tbh

considering Stallone is a republican im not shocked at anything anymore

lol

[vagrant fox]

https://youtu.be/B-jJD0WiqTU

More slop

[storm jungle]

Sloprch

[vagrant fox]

More iron warsloppers

Actors are hack frauds scheisters

[summer mural]

the fuck is scorch

[vagrant fox]

Dunno

[raven stone]

In as much as Republicans hypocrisy is a thing, I just think the Elite Society rot in US runs deeply across party lines.

So many of the ruling elites are morally broke in their own ways.

[summer mural]

also i dunno if youve all seen tropic thunder, but theres a bunch of parody satire trailers at the beginning of the movie

and that scorch thing is exactly like that

[storm jungle]

Okay watched it, holy shit this shit is so goofy and janky

[summer mural]

like it cant be a real thing

[storm jungle]

tbh

look at the footage

it looks so comedic lol

[storm jungle]

Nah it does, but Republicans are more honest

like you can right away tell they are scum

Democrats pretend and hide it well

[solid horizon]

Tf is this

Eww

[summer mural]

thats true, I prefer arnie to nancy pelosi

[vagrant fox]

I was busy rolling my eyes at the comments I didn't watch the trailer

[storm jungle]

My favorite part of Arnie's governership is him explaining how like

he tries to do ANYTHING to improve his city and state

and they just never allow him to do anything

lmao

[summer mural]

yeah

[storm jungle]

peak example of politics

[solid horizon]

Arnold has some weird connections and done some weird stuff

[vagrant fox]

Arnie is so far the only republican I've liked

[solid horizon]

As much as I find his acting iconic and goofy

[summer mural]

governor kinda funky position , its easy to do bad stuff and very difficult to do anything useful

[solid horizon]

I wouldnt trust him

[arctic talon]

Gavin "homelessbliterator" Newsome

[raven stone]

I get the feeling it is because whoever created it looked at a lot of game cutscenes and thought “if only this existed as a 40k setting cutscene.”

[storm jungle]

yeah agreed

[vagrant fox]

Ok Nixon gets a pass dude is hilarious

[summer mural]

Nixon does not get a pass

[storm jungle]

Nixon is NOT a crook

[summer mural]

hes like the last person that should get a pass

[vagrant fox]

In this chat Nixon is a hero end of story

[storm jungle]

also im glad a president like Nixon doesnt exist IRL, hes probably one of my favorite Call of Duty zombies characters

[solid horizon]

You mean Kennedy

[storm jungle]

Is he real?

[vagrant fox]

Tricky Dick cannot be licked

[solid horizon]

Isn't Nixon like

A Futurama character

[summer mural]

kennedy had some banger lines in the first black ops " We need more Power! CALL THE ENERGY DEPARTMENT!"

[celest dome]

Kennedy is such a gold mine of stories, him being a sex pest

[storm jungle]

KEK

[vagrant fox]

Kennedy got his brain vented before doing something idiotic he gets a mild pass

[celest dome]

Him basically being able to get any person

[storm jungle]

Kennedy recieved some real insidious backshots

[vagrant fox]

Bet you feel stupid now
https://youtu.be/GMFK0gqe2Zo

He was a good boy

[summer mural]

the fuck did i just watch

i get he needed hair and makeup

but like

DID THEY HAVE TO ZOOM IN

TO THE TOP OF HIS SCALP

[vagrant fox]

If you listen carefully you can hear him purr

[raven stone]

Because funni meme AND parody image rolled into one…

[dense osprey]

So, Yarricks' alive, yes?

[sacred ginkgo]

Why is the enormous grimdank watermark included

[storm jungle]

He always was but yes

[dense osprey]

So, how he survived Angron?

[raven stone]

We will have to see how GW backtracks that

[storm jungle]

Oh my god

he never fought angron

lmao

[dense osprey]

huh

[raven stone]

Well ok, he probably didn’t.

[winged jacinth]

wrong war for armageddon lol

[solid horizon]

He fought Horus

[raven stone]

But

[storm jungle]

This is what happens when you listen to the fandom instead of reading the lore

[dense osprey]

All i saw was that Ghaz speech XD

[solid horizon]

Yarrick looked Horus in the eyes and killed him

[raven stone]

GW still has to backtrack any lore bits implying Yarrick’s death though.
(IIRC there WAS something about Yarrick passing)

[storm jungle]

what speech

[winged jacinth]

it doesnt help that the first war for armageddon is an imperial secret

[storm jungle]

Ghaz has no idea what Yarick is even doing

[solid horizon]

It was revealed to me in a dream

[storm jungle]

They didnt backtrack anything

[winged jacinth]

last i remember was a classic "fate unknown" for yarrick

[storm jungle]

Nah

all we had was this

a propaganda pamphlet

[arctic talon]

It was in universe propaganda that he was maybe dead except it was censored to shit

[storm jungle]

which also hides information

[dense osprey]

Okey, it was not Ghaz

But i meant this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EEICnFU4y4&t=4s

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats meme

[arctic talon]

It obviously was meant to say he wasn’t actually dead

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

I’m not sure why people take in universe propaganda

At fucking face value

[storm jungle]

They dont

[sacred ginkgo]

His death was in fact greatly exaugurated

[solid horizon]

Release the yarrick files

[storm jungle]

they just hear people go "yarrick is dead"

[arctic talon]

I mean enough people fucking did

[storm jungle]

and lap it up

[arctic talon]

Anyways the new Helldiver squid mech leaked

Who wants some leak slop

[sacred ginkgo]

No major character ever dies

[storm jungle]

Leaked? Its literally in the trailers

[arctic talon]

No

[storm jungle]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Someone actually fighting it

lol

[sacred ginkgo]

They can still be re released for 60-120 doubloons

[storm jungle]

OH

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Not just trailer footage

[storm jungle]

yeah sure

[arctic talon]

https://youtu.be/HnPh7t-w8dA?si=YkfT2yUv6m_PSIXw

Here

[vagrant fox]

Who is making Untergang edits in 2026 dog

[arctic talon]

Not the cultists

Yet

[vagrant fox]

I'm Hitler btw
https://youtu.be/UbSJUrFd52Y

[storm jungle]

bruh that planet looks freaky

[raven stone]

I mean implying one of your best heroes is dead in a propaganda thing isn’t exactly…helpful…so that might have tricked people into taking it at face value?

[arctic talon]

The propaganda was for officers

Ultimately it’s censored to shit

[raven stone]

Wait I am confuzzled now lol

[sacred ginkgo]

2/3 factions now have planet eating glorp

yippee

[solid horizon]

Yarrick died

[sacred ginkgo]

This one looks like something out of STW though

[solid horizon]

I killed him on tabletop

Fandom can now thank me

[arctic talon]

True

[raven stone]

So the leaflet written to imply Yarrick died is written for propaganda purposes for officers because…?

[arctic talon]

To encourage them to fight harder because it’s what Yarrick would have wanted

lol

They don’t even give an actual what he died to or where he died or when he died

[raven stone]

…
Surely this has to be another take at how ass backwards Imperial thinking is.

[storm jungle]

Bro

this has literally happened IRL

[arctic talon]

Brother

[storm jungle]

lmao

[arctic talon]

This happens irl

The goal was to martyr Yarrick

Which worked

[vagrant fox]

It's weird

[arctic talon]

Win win for the imperium

If he actually did die he’s a martyr

If he lives it’s a miracle from the god emperor

[solid horizon]

Bro is really old

He's gonna die im sure

[storm jungle]

im like 4m in

bro what the fuck is this

eldar vietnam

lmao

[arctic talon]

We don’t have the actual shadow wizard money gang yet tho for the real eldar experience

[vagrant fox]

Somewhere between 200 and 300 closer to 300 isn't he

[sacred ginkgo]

Tell me I'm wrong

[arctic talon]

But one of the leaked illuminate cultists got in

Which was the watcher varient

That shoots you

lol

[storm jungle]

I do appreciate how Illuminate are just Biel-Tan with more mind control ngl

[arctic talon]

No you’re correct lol

[raven stone]

Ok I will be honest, I think it is the way through leaflet was written that has me scratching my head.

Like…I don’t know, there is no exhortational passage in the leaflet, it just says Yarrick was accepted by Emperor. Nothing about emulating his example etc.

…or maybe my head is just wired differently. Like I read that and I genuinely did thought it was GW doing their “kill things off in lore lines” thing (which they had done!)

[arctic talon]

Get in the gene splicing pod chudling

-illuminate before kidnapping people

[storm jungle]

SO ABOUT THAT

[arctic talon]

If GW is killing a named character in lore it will not be via an in universe propaganda leaflet

[storm jungle]

the ship technician has some really freaky dialogue

[arctic talon]

What does she say

I’m concerned now

[storm jungle]

Hold on i recorded it all, its really creepy

[midnight dragon]

Is tacticus actually something worth playing or is it slop

[storm jungle]

its mobile slop

[midnight dragon]

I had suspicion that the multi billion dollar company was making slop

[arctic talon]

It’s mobile p2w slop

lol

[storm jungle]

"Find a better form of governance"

Bruh they infiltrated this moron's brain

lmao

[arctic talon]

Okay so this ties into the illuminate dream manipulation shit from 1.

But it’s interesting they’re trying to get people to join via dreams.

Yeah this is normal

lol

They do this shit

[midnight dragon]

Yeah fuck games workshop

[storm jungle]

wait WHAT

[vagrant fox]

I'll take my chances with the squilf anyways

[arctic talon]

GW isn’t making the mobile games they just license them

[sacred ginkgo]

She is so getting dissappeared again

[arctic talon]

I’m not sure what company actually makes tacticus

[arctic talon]

She’s getting her brain power washed

[raven stone]

Yea and my head is probably wired differently. Like if you told me the best hero on my side was dead I would be shitting my pants in panic (even if I factually cannot run away anyways.)

[sacred ginkgo]

Nah

Just wholesale scooped out

[arctic talon]

LOL

[storm jungle]

Its hilarious because she boasts about how she only consumes propaganda then instantly is susceptible to propaganda

[sacred ginkgo]

Kinda like thats how it works

[arctic talon]

You are not immune to squid propaganda

[arctic talon]

Get in the genesplicing pod to ascend

[vagrant fox]

Some Swedish developer that makes card games

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

I mean

[midnight dragon]

Even if they aren't, they are still a multi billion dollar corporation taking advantage of a brand we love, they do not care about the fanbase. Fuck them, fuck all corporations

[arctic talon]

Tacticus as far as 40k mobile slop goes isn’t the worst thing GW have licensed

[outer wave]

Woman is probably dead after all this

[storm jungle]

Buddy im sorry to say but its not like 40k fans are upstanding saints or good people either lol

consumers will always consume

we allow this

lmao

[vagrant fox]

If it gives me wacky mind powers and feet that work why not

[arctic talon]

I mean compared to how they used to be they do care

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

Ultimately I don’t really give a shit

But saying GW doesn’t care now is stupid

Shows you haven’t been along that long

Because holy fuck if you think this is neglect LOL

[sacred ginkgo]

Wdym taking advantage of a brand we love its their IP they're making product for it

[storm jungle]

Its funny because the Democracy Officer and Shipmistress have nothing mentioning having these dreams, its only her

[sacred ginkgo]

Its your choice to buy in

[arctic talon]

5e to 7e GW was actually fucking abhorrent lol

[sacred ginkgo]

And if stuff continues, clearly people spend on it

[arctic talon]

It cannot be overstated how much of an improvement modern GW is

[vagrant fox]

I can agree on the fuck corpos but eh, GW is mildly better and treats irs employees pretty well

[arctic talon]

Tbh it’s prolly because they recently had her brain fried with propaganda

Fuck GW for a variety of reasons but saying they don’t care compared to how they used to be is a little silly lol

They at least don’t treat their employees like total shit and pay fair wages

[midnight dragon]

Who even cares, it doesn't matter if we "deserve something" we are victim they are the enemy, it's impossible for us to somehow be at fault for what gw does

[sacred ginkgo]

They're smart enough not to openly mention being subject to hostile mind invasion

[arctic talon]

You’re not the victim wtf are you talking about lol

[dapper gyro]

4e was also very bad.

[arctic talon]

I don’t know enough examples of 4e GW fucking around

[storm jungle]

What.

[outer wave]

Considering her relatively lowly position, I cant say Im too surprised; those other two would NOT mention a blip about whatever they had if they were also having those dreams. It seems like this woman's not as under the spell of propaganda and may not feel her position is important to keep as to say the other two NPCs on the ship.

[arctic talon]

If you don’t want to buy 40k product don’t fucking buy it

Like

[arctic talon]

It’s what some people I know do

[arctic talon]

Joining Dilara I see

[storm jungle]

shes basically your average MAGA supporter so lmao

[sacred ginkgo]

What
They make luxury products you can stop buying from them at any time

[outer wave]

Yeah basically

[arctic talon]

No one is making you buy 40k products

lol

[sacred ginkgo]

If you feel this strongly then print minis and pirate games

[dapper gyro]

Anyway, a dude with "SEAF" tag, a game with huge fan server and definitely corporate, trying to enrage on other IP.

So ironic.

[arctic talon]

And it’s not like 40k writing is bad either

It’s better then fucking 2e lol

[midnight dragon]

I never said I wouldn't, I separate art from the creator in this case

[arctic talon]

I’m making someone to read the 2e Tyranid codex

it’s gona be a fun time

It’s really bad

It’s so bad lol

[outer wave]

40k writing isnt bad, but feels sometimes lacking. Like it doesnt talk about the intricate details of things some fans may want to explore (exodites for example or minor xenos races)

[winged jacinth]

tfw your setting gets expanded by dozens of people over decades

[arctic talon]

Okay but acting like GW doesn’t give a shit is weird considering their past lol.

Anytime someone says this it annoys me

Because they don’t get how much more GW fucking does now lol

[dapper gyro]

New fans though that Tyrannids are new despite bing one of the old faction is so funny.

[arctic talon]

Tyranids are old but they got totally rewritten in 3e lol

Their old lore is

Kind of similar

But it’s got some weird shit to it

[midnight dragon]

Hm

[arctic talon]

Idk

[sacred ginkgo]

Also, anyone seen this yet

Really funny

[arctic talon]

But I think the infamous 5e FAQ of

“Drazhar’s ancient incubus armor is incubus armor”

Is about as close to neglect as you can get

You had to also pay for this back then

FAQs were in a fucking 40$ book

lol

[storm jungle]

Games being review bombed again btw

Chinadivers strike again

[sacred ginkgo]

Yippee!!!!!

[storm jungle]

🇨🇳

[arctic talon]

FAQs are free now

[sacred ginkgo]

Yahooo!!!!

[arctic talon]

Idk

[sacred ginkgo]

Damn

[arctic talon]

I think I’m more generous to GW nowadays because I experienced them at their worst lol

[sacred ginkgo]

Good thing I don't play this game

[dapper gyro]

Sub factions used to be more diverse than the main faction.

[arctic talon]

When they actually just didn’t give a shit

[outer wave]

5 billion social credits added to my account, praise Xi Xinping

[arctic talon]

Or do anything

lol

[dapper gyro]

Tabletop game used to be a worse mess.

[arctic talon]

Some of the old FAQs are god awful

Let me find some of my favorites

You had to pay for them

So this adds insult to injury

[dapper gyro]

Like that one game that you can win by denying your opponent deployment...

And it was in official tournament somehow.

[arctic talon]

tbf

the other person was fucking around

[midnight dragon]

Who saw that coming

[arctic talon]

by putting their whole army in reserves

equally stupid

lol

[dapper gyro]

GW used to give less a fuck.

[tough haven]

Random rant, I absolutely despise Ken Jennings

That is all.

[winged jacinth]

honestly kinda simulationist that if you dont have a beachhead you cant deploy troops and lose the region...\

[sacred ginkgo]

Not even a rant

Just a comment

[tough haven]

Didn’t feel like expounding

[winged jacinth]

i understand ken jennings is annoying in exactly the way you'd expect jeopardy champion and host ken jennings to be

[tough haven]

He’s annoying, and his sunken eyes creep me out

[sacred ginkgo]

Who the hell is ken jennings

[tough haven]

The current jeopardy host

[arctic talon]

also armies getting codexes and releases regularly is a new thing

Dark Eldar were using their 3e codex for over 10 years

[sacred ginkgo]

That show still runs

[arctic talon]

SoB didn't get a codex after 2e

so they went like 20 something years

instead

[tough haven]

Yeah, watch it every night with my family

[tough haven]

Still kinda an asshole

We get it, you’re smart

[midnight dragon]

I can imagine

[dapper gyro]

Sub faction codex with rules so strong that they carry the whole "sub" faction.

[tough haven]

Classic dark eldar

[vagrant fox]

I remember a lot of grouch for 5th ed tyranids but not what

[tough haven]

Takes a while to codexes to reach the dark city

[dapper gyro]

And instead of nerfing that rule, they nerf the whole sub faction at once.

[arctic talon]

Codex Iyanden
Codex Iron hands

💀

[winged jacinth]

i certainly didnt say he wasnt annoying just that he was annoying in exactly the way you'd expect

[arctic talon]

also ynnari

[dapper gyro]

IH is really the one I was thinking about.

7e to 9e, same rule that so op.

[arctic talon]

💀

[outer wave]

No.

[winged jacinth]

charging for FAQs/errata is so funny because its like
guys you're the ones who wrote bad rules

[heady rivet]

@rocky gale

[dapper gyro]

Currently, after the 8e 3rd party media hunting, GW actually gives more fuck about the IP than ever before.

[arctic talon]

I am so happy they stopped doing that shit in 8e

Took them like over

20 something years

but they stopped charging for FAQs lol

[winged jacinth]

we're getting SO MUCH 3rd party stuff now its clear that GW wants to more widely capitalize on the IP beyond plastic sales

thats why they'd be shopping for things like shows, broadening exposure outside the sphere that's been aware of it forever

[storm jungle]

also to return to the subject to add to this

mobile games even slop ones make a ton of money lol

they wouldnt be peddlin glike 2-3 of them out if it wasnt the case

[arctic talon]

lmfao

I forgot about this one

[sacred ginkgo]

Then who the hell can

[storm jungle]

I really dislike how demoralizing and rude these replies are lol

just a "No"

at least fucking explain

lmao

[outer wave]

It sounds like these guys may have dealt with too many questions of this nature

[arctic talon]

paying 40$ for this is so fucking funny lol

[outer wave]

Maybe its just me, but their "No." sound stern and annoyed

[arctic talon]

"No"

[arctic talon]

Daemons(generic)

not Daemons(khornate specific)

[sacred ginkgo]

Guh

So you can put the a keeper of fates and skarbrand in the same army by khorne can't have him

Thanks gw

[rose thorn]

How tf does this happen lmao

[arctic talon]

?????????????????

[rose thorn]

LMAOOO

[arctic talon]

do not ask how GW used to be as a company

they have gotten a lot better

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[arctic talon]

"can the thing that the rules says it can do be done"

[dapper gyro]

Reading is hard. I don't even have that skill.

[midnight dragon]

Should I be looking forward to.the Warhammer Amazon show and will Warhammer tv be a good comparison to what it woll.potentially be

[midnight dragon]

Hey man I understand, I bought a Astra Militarum novel a year ago.and I still haven't finished it because of how much I struggle.reading, would you like some tips?

[arctic talon]

I think I would hold my breath on if the warhammer Amazon show will be good or not. Amazon has like a 50/50 track record with adaptations being good or bad.

As for Warhammer+ eh.

Warhammer+ has wild quality swings

Due to a variety of dif animation teams

And writing teams

[midnight dragon]

Are the sisters of battle the peak of what a unaugmented human can be

In this setting

[arctic talon]

In terms of military training yes alongside tempestus scions

Though some weird inqusitorial stuff can surpass them

The schola progenium’s most intense military stuff is reserved for tempestus scions and sisters of battle

The big thing is SoB get really really nice equipment

Power armor ect.

The strength boost offered by SoB power armor is equivalent to marine power armor

[midnight dragon]

The inquis are essentially the cia of the Imperium right?

[arctic talon]

It’s basically as good as it gets for human power armor aside from artificer stuff or stuff for the mechanicus, except the mechanicus are all augmented so it doesn’t really count

[arctic talon]

Think every single secret police ever mixed together with all the horrific crimes against humanity they’ve done as well

So yeah

The faction that really does stereotypically CIA stuff is the Tau

[midnight dragon]

So basically mossad

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[midnight dragon]

[arctic talon]

But with more torture

And concentration camps

[midnight dragon]

JUST LIEK MOSSAD AND THE CIA

[arctic talon]

LOL

[midnight dragon]

[arctic talon]

Look the CIA doesn’t call them that unlike the inqusition

[winged jacinth]

Yeah the sisters and scions are the most powerful baseline humans that can be fielded generically

[arctic talon]

The tau are the ones who go a camp where you can do concentrate

Or “re education camp”

lol

[midnight dragon]

Didn't elite wolf say that there are occasionally even better ones that work for the inquis?

[arctic talon]

That’s why they said generically

Those aren’t generic

[winged jacinth]

There's all kinds of crazy individuals

[arctic talon]

Yeah

There’s always exceptional individuals

[winged jacinth]

and like, assassinorium assassins

[arctic talon]

Well

Those are augmented heavily

[winged jacinth]

true

[arctic talon]

They’re freaks of nature lol

[winged jacinth]

they are pretty far from baseline lol

[arctic talon]

Me when I need to take regular drug shots or else my flesh will literally liquify

[midnight dragon]

Thank you

[winged jacinth]

theres so much wacky ancient/one-off/apecraft tech floating around in the 40k universe you never know when someone has a ring that's also a lascannon

[arctic talon]

Thank you jokaero

[midnight dragon]

This might be a writing mistake on the gw's part but how come sisters of battle are often depicted above scions?

[winged jacinth]

not enough writers use jokaero which they should because funny monkey

sisters have political power

[midnight dragon]

I meant on individual combat skill

[winged jacinth]

scions are elite soldiers but sisters are elite soldiers who are also clergy in the theocracy

oh i think because scions dont get 10% of the attention they do

also miracles

theres a lot of sisters who are ALSO the kind of exceptional individuals we were talking about

[arctic talon]

They have better equipment and RNG miracles

Carapace armor and a hotshot lasgun is good

[midnight dragon]

That sounds a tad disappointing as someone who loves the Astra Militarum

[arctic talon]

But power armor and a bolter is better

[winged jacinth]

the fact that a lot of their gear is relics is a huge buff in the vibes based universe of 40k

scions are relatively new afaik

[arctic talon]

Scions are extremely well trained and well equipped

Yeah scions are new

They’re from 6e

[winged jacinth]

the sisters are basically, in a narrative and marketing sense, the female zealot priest counterpoint to the ascetic warrior monks of the poster marines

so they get a good bit of showing when you want burnings and wacky stuff like penitent engines

[arctic talon]

Also the SoB are more batshit insane

[winged jacinth]

the main thing is just that they're more distinct from other parts of the imperium than the scions are

[arctic talon]

Becuase they’re extremely pious

[midnight dragon]

I mean considering that they are comparable despite the fact scions have worse equipment is still commendable i guess

[arctic talon]

Tbh scions tend to have way better coordination

[winged jacinth]

scions can be replaced with regular guard narratively without too much work

[arctic talon]

Is a thing thats noted in universe

[winged jacinth]

scions are probably the more effective fighting force yeah

[arctic talon]

Also yeah regimental stormtroopers can always stand in

For scions

[midnight dragon]

Yeah but then we don't get our ghost recon special forces navy seal story

[arctic talon]

And they often do

[arctic talon]

Well we got one

Sorta

Scions got a really good book

[winged jacinth]

to be frank i feel like scions kinda got put in as a generic alternative to having regimental stormtroopers lol

[arctic talon]

Final deployment

[midnight dragon]

Idk of sisters or space marines count as a "special forces akin to navy seals" typa group compared to the scions

[arctic talon]

Yeah they’re a generic option

[arctic talon]

I’m saying scions got a book that’s like that

lol

[heady rivet]

They often do, even though it doesnt always make sense to

[midnight dragon]

Whats it called?

[midnight dragon]

What are stormtroopers

[winged jacinth]

marines are constantly doing tom clancy shit

storm troopers are close assault forces

[arctic talon]

Last deployment

[winged jacinth]

in real military doctrine

[arctic talon]

Regimental stormtroopers are a regiments elite/best of the best

[heady rivet]

The fact its possible for an Astartes to be sneaky is actually so fun

[arctic talon]

They get carapace armor, extra training and hotshot las weapons

[winged jacinth]

typically armored + heavy medium range weaponry

yeah

they're the ones doing sweep and clears of buildings and stuff when available etc

[young pecan]

What is even the logic for how sneaky in the first place

[arctic talon]

A few notable examples like the catachan devils, death korps of krieg grenadiers and engineers, and Cadian Kasrkins

[young pecan]

You gonna control your step real good in armor that weighs a ton?

[winged jacinth]

depending on the floor it could work

its got a lot of automation

[midnight dragon]

Well yeah but they aren't as grounded and special forces feely as scions at least in my opinion, I mean when I think of a space marine mission I think of them less so in the mud behind enemy lines trying not to get spotted and more so well, being a hammer

[rancid cove]

plot

[midnight dragon]

Hello.again

[winged jacinth]

they've never told us space marine armor cant have rubber soles

hey congrats on promotion to red

[rancid cove]

congrats for red role

[rancid cove]

theres no reason to look very deep into it, its just rule of cool and also fantasy land

[heady rivet]

While Scions are Schola-raised, Stormtroopers are specific in training and doctrine (and sometimes equipment) to their specific regiment/planet. Cadian Kasrkin, Armageddon Stormtroopers, Krieg Grenadiers. They're basically the Regiments best guys with the best gear, and usually are deployed as just extra special Infantry. Like Army Rangers, not Special Forces type stuff

[midnight dragon]

Imagine a space marine chapter specifically focused on stealth lmao

[rancid cove]

realism sucks for this type of media

[winged jacinth]

the alpha legion and the night lords?

[rancid cove]

it ruins the fun of impossibility being possible

[heady rivet]

We dont have to Imagine

[heady rivet]

Raven Guard as well

[rancid cove]

theres like

3

[winged jacinth]

the night lords is where we get all the stupid lore of sneaky murder marines lol

[rancid cove]

[rancid cove]

no

raven guard

[midnight dragon]

[heady rivet]

You mean peak lore

[rancid cove]

Night Lords use sneak to scare people

Raven Guard do actual sneak missions

sabotage

and stuff like that

[winged jacinth]

tbh it would make sense for space marines to have rubberized soles not just for noise but because imagine the slipping problems on a metal deck lmao

[heady rivet]

Trve

[winged jacinth]

ceramite skates

[midnight dragon]

Wait then why didn't you mention stormtroopers as part of peak unaugmented humans in this setting? If scions are comparable to the sisters of battle but stormtroopers can standin for scions, then wouldn't that mean stormtroopers are like at least a level below or am I missing something

[arctic talon]

Scions tend to be better then stormtroopers on average due to how many regiments there are

TLDR scions are consistent

Stormtroopers vary wildly in quality

Especially once you leave the famous regiments

[midnight dragon]

Realism can be used to make something seem cool and plausible imo,.you just need to mix it with the right amount of fiction.

I see realism.as a narrative tool

Rather then something that ruins a story

[rancid cove]

It can, 40k has a lot of pseudo-science and pseudo-realism explications on most of the stuff but some times not all of it requires that in-dept shit

[raven stone]

@outer wave so apparently there is, unintentionally, a Beavis and Butthead version of the second story of Memories anthology… (far shorter and nothing as drastic but still kind of in that ball park)

https://youtu.be/q_fh7d1zYF8?si=xPfzudXpMVSzFVYf

[outer wave]

Huhhh!!

[young pecan]

The usual suspect, I fear

I'm not even bitching because what else can you expect from this setting, it's just funny

[midnight dragon]

Should Warhammer tv be used as a comparison for whether or not the amazon.show is gonna be good?

[raven stone]

Deathbattle Parody - Oldholio VS Nobuo…

[outer wave]

I love that their voice ticks are just a constant thing for them

[raven stone]

Yea, and the decision to age them with the audience opens up a lot more jokes

[lament shoal]

First time facing the new boss. This knife build I've recently started running is nuts

[midnight dragon]

Who.the hell.are you fighting

[sacred ginkgo]

I'd recommend spamming push attacks when possible on knife

They do very good damage for such a fast attacking move

[lament shoal]

The new Ogryn pack master boss in expeditions mode

[sacred ginkgo]

Also dropping your wound curio once you're comfy

[rancid cove]

erhmm

[lament shoal]

I'm not using the mark that has the jab move as its push attack. Would it still be effective?

Its the downward slash one

I've been using that attack a lot on the smaller enemies

[sacred ginkgo]

I'd recommend using mk6 anyway but yeah it still works

Just a bit worse

[rancid cove]

Depends

on the story line

[winged silo]

I still don't like Yarrick.

[rancid cove]

ok

[rancid cove]

Eeeeh it's not really depending on how the scene is playing out

For example a marine sneaking trough a ship

Lots of noises to mask their footstep

depending on where inside the ship a lot of space, very dark

bunch of lights where their lenses can blend in

Night Lords and Raven Guard? perfect, dark colors that easily blend in in dark places or in the night

Plus if they stand still the only noise would be the low humming of their power pack but depending on where they are it wouldn't even be in ears distance

[young pecan]

Well true but you can say that about anything
But the fact that authors go out of their way to paint the picture that marines can be dead silent in a neutral setting

Is funny

[rancid cove]

And since Raven Guard and Night Lords do quite often stealth shit

they probably customize their armor to muffle the sound of their power packs

[rancid cove]

It's because it makes them scary tbh

Marines are supposed to be these elite warriors who only know the mastery of war and almost every piece of it's crafts

Even specialized chapters that often use X tactics instead of Y has to at least have decent level skill on all others

Therefore they have the knowledge and tools to be able to perform any of them

They have heavy weaponry and armor for slow lethal advances or to take in heavy fire, customized armor and weaponry for stealth, jump packs to be able to move faster and to clean higher ground

Tanks, flamethrowers, you name it

[young pecan]

Unfortunately most or a lot of depictions of marines are muh badass slow walk towards enemy while firing bolt weapon with no helmets on and miraculously coming out unscathed

[rancid cove]

The fact these 3m tall giants who weight 1 ton of heavy armor are able to somehow go unnoticed makes them even a bigger threat

[young pecan]

So we don't really get that, even if I like the idea of them being martial masters even at their lowest rank

[rancid cove]

It really depends lol

There were like 3 instances of Night Lords being stealthy in the Night Lords triology

plus uh

it's because most of the time marines are engagin in warfare where the enemy is already expecting them/know of them coming in

And because their biggest thing is quick and tactical planned strikes

[raven stone]

It kind of doesn’t help that “infiltration” is a bit of a catch all term.
40k Marines do tactical infiltration, I.e. sneaking up closer to targets to gank them as part of a greater battle plan of annihilation.
They don’t do espionage infiltration, as in the Snake/Sam Fisher type.

[rancid cove]

Throughout a marines life they are going to be changed into different battle roles so they are trained in all shenanigans of war, they are told to train with all weapons (even if you only specialize in one you MUST have at least a decent grip of any other) and are constantly trainingto keep their abilities in check and in their prime

[rancid cove]

They can do that because primaris giving them phobos armor

plus grappling hooks

now you can have marines going up places in lighter and sneakier armor

[lament shoal]

I wish they'd drop more updated catachan models. I wanna paint one to look like solid snake lol

[rancid cove]

However that would be a very very very specific and extremely dependent on the plot

because most marines wouldn't care to do that

they would just sneak to kill the enemy and move on

[raven stone]

At the moment I do think a Catachan/Eversor combo conversion is your best bet

[rancid cove]

They wouldn't spy because

1. it's not their main aesthetic unless you make a whole chapter on it
2. they can just eat their brain and find out

I really like phobos

[raven stone]

Yea was more referencing the spy aspect in trying to delineate - basically when Marines are deployed, the other side is always going to be dead.

If you need infiltration without dead bodies for whatever reason…you don’t get Marines for it. They will just ask “yes but why not kill them now?”

[rancid cove]

Because it gives marine the chance of being very sneaky and me likey

[rancid cove]

That's why I said it's very specific
if they don't have resources to find someone else that can do that job of course they will try to do it themselves

but marines stealth (like sabotage) they kill targets along the way, do whatever they have to and then move out without the rest seeing them

[young pecan]

I always forget about the brain thing

Do you think the Emperor told the people creating geneseed to also make marines think brains tasted good or

[midnight dragon]

Is it common knowledge here that the darktide characters could kill a chaos space marine?

[rancid cove]

it's not very used which is unfortunate, but it leaves it open for fans to homebrew their own stories and how much the marine gets from eating the brain

[rancid cove]

Yes

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah

[midnight dragon]

Thank the lord

No

Thank the emperor

Thank the greater good

[rancid cove]

No, those are usually mutations that happens to their gene-seed

Like Blood Angels finding blood and human meat a delicacy

[midnight dragon]

Thank slaneesh

[young pecan]

Anyone that says otherwise is chugging the CSM copium

[sacred ginkgo]

What the hell do you do against 3 kraks, a plasma, a stealthed thunder hammer, a psyker, 500 pounds of muscle and fury, and 3 krak rockets

[rancid cove]

Not even just CSM

Space Marines are very op yes but uh
they aren't unbeatable lol

[young pecan]

The humble 100 options that the rejects have access to that can instantly kill a marine:

[rancid cove]

Psyker is already big trouble (depending on the chapter)
Krak grenades are instant death

Plasma guns? Oh no

Thunder hammer? Oh no

An OGRYN?

OH NO

[arctic talon]

Yeah thunderhammer is like

instant death on impact to a marine lol

[rancid cove]

it can kill dreadnoughts

[arctic talon]

Thunder hammers are anti tank weapons

[rancid cove]

so uh

[arctic talon]

It can kill a fucking baneblade

lol

[rancid cove]

good luck for the marine

[midnight dragon]

I mean considering a imperial guardsmen is part of this team.how does he meaningfully contribute to killing a chaos space marine

[arctic talon]

Plasma

krak grenades

[sacred ginkgo]

A plasma gun

Krak grenades

smoke grenades

[rancid cove]

I knew they were strong but never knew they could take down baneblades whaaat

[sacred ginkgo]

power sword

orders

[rancid cove]

smoke grenades wouldn't work

heat vision

[lament shoal]

Honestly simply leading them into a lasgun volley would be enough too

[arctic talon]

It is an effecive strategy for marines in universe to get close enough to a titan and demolish its legs it with Thunder hammers

[sacred ginkgo]

Works on the moebian gunners

[rancid cove]

depends

unless marine has

iron halo

[arctic talon]

Tbf

most marines don't

Iron halos are command staff only

really

[young pecan]

Have you considered what if the marine slowly walks towards them and the camera is making him look badass and he has a name

[rancid cove]

yeah those guys are usually making out alive cause plot

[young pecan]

What then

[rancid cove]

[rancid cove]

What if jump pack assaults going from up the baneblade

[rancid cove]

It's joever

[arctic talon]

that works

lol

[midnight dragon]

Thank you ma'am

[rancid cove]

tbh wouldn't a melta pistol also work on a baneblade? like shooting it on the driver side

or well

a melta gun in general

[sacred ginkgo]

Yes

Microwave of nuclear death

[rancid cove]

yummy

[arctic talon]

Yes but melta pistols have short range

[rancid cove]

so do the thunderhammer

[arctic talon]

melta pistol is more directed

[opaque coyote]

I am back from my nap

[rancid cove]

noticing the Khorne symbol on his belt i dont think he cares

[young pecan]

Yeah fair

[opaque coyote]

Well clearly because he's on a higher position, he is above the guilt of killing people
