He’s been wrong before

[storm jungle]

who are they facing again

[arctic talon]

Apparently guard, he said Armageddon and didn’t elaborate

[solid horizon]

I hope gw will be adding more to ad mech than just immortals ripoff and thicc fabricatior

[storm jungle]

what a cunt lmao

[solid horizon]

Ad mech vehicles suck ass

[near wasp]

Valrak being valrak

[jade holly]

Admech feels like the easiest army to cowboyify

[arctic talon]

I love the doomba

It’s so funny

Best part of the krieg refresh

I love this stupid chud roomba

[solid horizon]

I kinda dislike that tbh

[jade holly]

[solid horizon]

Ad mech in 40k is cowboys and World War 1 brits

[daring creek]

If krieg ever gets a slop mission in darktide. They better make us start in a mining drill

We need those thick Cajun and Southern accent Admech guys lmao

You mean this guy?

Bro’s deck of cards are powered by an eldritch horror

[solid horizon]

Ad Mech needs better aircraft

[jade holly]

5 days until I can play him

I’m so excited

[arctic talon]

Ngl I wonder how horrifically the Voodoo Boyz got murdered by the Haitians and the people who’d become the voodoo boys in 2077 lol

I hope it was awful for them

[solid horizon]

Our planes are dogshit both design and gameplay wise

[arctic talon]

[jade holly]

Damnit now I want a Voodoo/Cowboy themed Darkmech army

[solid horizon]

Real

Damn me too

[arctic talon]

You can just do that with normal admech smh

[solid horizon]

Too much cool

[jade holly]

Yeah but Dark Mech with Daemon Engines plays makes it sound way cooler

[solid horizon]

I mean yeah voodoo isn't evil

[jade holly]

Voodoo ain’t evil yeah

[arctic talon]

Tbh the Mechanicus are evil

lol

[solid horizon]

Servitors are basically voodoo zombis

[jade holly]

Voodoo can’t be evil, they have Baron Samedi

[solid horizon]

Bruh

He's the most evil of the bunch

But he's pretty cool

[jade holly]

Not from what I heard of him?

I thought he was just the loa between life and death?

[solid horizon]

Well he's not exactly evil but he's not exactly a great individual either

[jade holly]

Can he party?

[solid horizon]

He's very ill mannered

But he's got drip

And was used as fascist icon in Haiti eventually

[urban spire]

the shagohod!

Smite my beloved

[arctic talon]

That sucks

[solid horizon]

Voodoo and Hoodoo are fascinating topic

Too bad I forget everything each time

[arctic talon]

lol

[solid horizon]

I actually met a real voodoo priest once in paris on a highschool trip

It was extremely interesting

But I forgor everything

[arctic talon]

One of my roommates freshman year was from Haiti and believed in it

Was cool talking to him about it

[solid horizon]

Tbh it's the most materially true religion

No blasphemy intended

Justice in Haiti is (used to be) so slow and inefficient that voodoo punishment is a more popular route

[jade holly]

Damnit now I wanna do a Voodoo inspired Necron army lmao

[blazing vapor]

Not familiar with lore but who is my beloved that psykers talk about?

[solid horizon]

If you get canned fish from Haiti there is a high chance it was canned by a zombi

[jade holly]

Few options, pick your poison:

An actual shard of the Emperor

Tzeentch

A random daemon

[solid horizon]

Ad Mech is a better choice considering they have servitors

[arctic talon]

Shard of the emperor
Daemon of tzeentch
Daemon of Slaanesh
Daemon of Khorne
Random undivided daemon
Random warp predator

[jade holly]

Yeah but just imagine a voodoo dripped out Overlord with purple energy

[solid horizon]

Just play tsons lol

[jade holly]

[solid horizon]

Overlord but instead of orb he has cards lol

Overlord with top hat and sunglasses

[blazing vapor]

Ohhhh

[solid horizon]

Make your enemies die from drip overload

[arctic talon]

It could also be all of these things at once lol

[jade holly]

I draw the Void Dragon

[arctic talon]

That’s what’s fun about the poor seer

[jade holly]

An Overlord with a device that to humans looks like a deck of cards but it’s a collection of powerful items the Overlordncan use to mimic the powers of Necron tools

[solid horizon]

Reminds me I named my dynasty Diskotekh before it was full fledged dark mech

And the overlord was named Sun Ra after the famous jazz musician who pretended to be from saturn and dressed in cosmic egyptian costumes

Now he's the Flayed King

He

Flays guys

And one tapped a dreadnought in melee...

[nocturne crest]

Huh. TIL the Pith Helmet is spainish in origin.

[solid horizon]

yup

[nocturne crest]

I got an idea: They should remake the Praetorian army, but their las-pistols are this:

[solid horizon]

I swear such a device killed me in a dream

[opaque coyote]

What

[nocturne crest]

To the idea?

[opaque coyote]

How TF does that even work

[nocturne crest]

You bite down and it sets off a trigger.

[opaque coyote]

Do they pull the thing to fire it

[opaque coyote]

Ohh

Yeah I was confused on how it would shoot

[storm jungle]

crackhead FOV

[heady rivet]

[storm jungle]

👎

[wary fulcrum]

They operate it purely with their upper lip

Hence why they need to keep it ‘stiff’ in case they accidentally discharge the lashat

[crystal forum]

unintentional upside is you get to practice mogging while wearing it

[opaque coyote]

Although I can't help but wonder

Usually helmets like this contain gunpowder or something

And although helmets are mostly used for sharpnel protection

I can't help but wonder if a hot piece of sharpnel somewhat embeds itself into the helmet

If the helmet would just

Fucking explode and kill you

[nocturne crest]

Probably, especially if this was made to fire .45

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I think the same thing would happen for a las version since lasgun magazines can become improvised grenades

This is what we call in the Imperium

A

"skill issue"

An ancient term from 2nd millennium Terra

Although I guess if the magazines have tough enough casings

It wouldn't happen

Which they probably do because

Lasguns are basically a tactican's wet dream

[nocturne crest]

Yeah. Just got something that can turned into a grenade and be reloaded by a campfire.

I kind of like the Skitarri Vanguard Kriegsmen.

[crystal forum]

the fucking space marine chapters mixed in

that's good im saving it

[full obsidian]

Does GW only care about cadians and kriegers?

[vagrant fox]

They care about what sells

[crystal forum]

nah people are just joking about GW using krieg to represent steel legion

there's only 3 actual regiments represented on tabletop so GW is just working with what they have

[scenic trout]

No matter how much GW fucks up, they are too big of s company and people still buy

[crystal forum]

i don't know why they aren't even adding a steel legion kill team or anything. it's a pretty weird decision

[nocturne crest]

They should have expected this response, but at the same time, they don't need to give a fuck.

[scenic trout]

"Elon Musk, buy GW and save 40K"

https://tenor.com/view/ted-bouncing-gif-9591069080937483571

[nocturne crest]

The Leman Russ is replaced by a weaponised Cybertruck on treads.

[scenic trout]

Musk would be the sort of person to add Spacex as his own faction lmao

[crystal forum]

they were always trying to shoehorn space marines into armageddon so this isn't even new for that specific part of 40k

GW straight up never cared about steel legion

i have to say it is pretty annoying how GW thinks every guard campaign must have space marines

[nocturne crest]

Tbh, Space Marines are pretty much the Optimus Prime of the brand.

[scenic trout]

They are the brand

[crystal forum]

i know they do it for brand safety or however you call it but it's annoying how scared they are to try anything that isn't at all involved with space marines

[scenic trout]

Next they gonna remake the 40K logo to have a space marine

[crystal forum]

most people remember vraks for krieg yet the story is mostly about space marines near its end

and coincidentally the end of vraks is the part nobody cares about because space marine slop

[nocturne crest]

Honestly, they could have just said that the steel legion stock is having to rely on Krieg and Catachan gear.

[crystal forum]

i really hope they don't offer any lore explanation. i'm ok if it's just real world limitations that dont affect the setting

that would mean steel legion gear is officially off brand krieg

no explanation gives the hope that in the future we might get actual steel legion again

steel legion legit have my favorite gas mask in the setting

half face masks are underrated

[civic gale]

Hi lore chat

[full obsidian]

do the krieg always wear gas masks?
It seems kinda pointless when we see that they are deployed to worlds where other guardsmen dont need gasmasks
Or are they just indoctrinated or something that they must never take it off

[scenic trout]

Simply just say that the steel legions were out of reinforces so krieg drop in

[nocturne crest]

Imagine if it's a catachan reveal in the show.

[crystal forum]

on their own planet?

[scenic trout]

yes

Just to fuck with people

[vagrant fox]

yes more or less

always

[crystal forum]

yes they always wear gas masks and yes it's pointless most of the time

[nocturne crest]

Like, reusing the trailer, but adding Catachans fighting orks.

[scenic trout]

Orktide game, we play as catachan

[nocturne crest]

We get a Armageddon Ork hunter build, where we get to use Ork weapons.

[crystal forum]

im still surprised GW hasn't retired the catachan models yet

[solid horizon]

lacks necron and black legion

[crystal forum]

if they get a reboot i would be happy

[solid horizon]

arent the catachan models metal ?

[crystal forum]

i don't think they're that old

[solid horizon]

they're very old htough

[heady rivet]

Its a culture thing. And also hides they're literal child soldiers

[nocturne crest]

I got a silly idea: Catachans get a new character, but it's just Straken in a dreadnought.

[solid horizon]

sly marbo but he's dead like chuck norris

sly marbo dreadnought

[opaque coyote]

Tbf half the guardsmen are probably child soldiers

Fuck like

Half the forces in the Imperium in general

We're/are child soldiers

[crystal forum]

when i think child soldier i think a 10 year old with an ak

not a 17 year old or something

[scenic trout]

raiden

[opaque coyote]

I think Cadians have child soldiers in their ranks

If I remember correctly

Just aren't playable

[crystal forum]

white shields

[near wasp]

There's been 4 major wars and there's like a single hive left, would not surprise me if the population is depleted

[crystal forum]

they aren't really in the cadian ranks

[opaque coyote]

Yeah so no idea what the Kriegers are hiding tbh

[crystal forum]

but they help out

[opaque coyote]

Guardsman #2492 probably was also a child soldier

I bet you that it's more common in the Imperium to have child soldiers and/or ex-chikd soldiers

Than those that actually joined at 18+

[near wasp]

By the time you get to a war zone they probably aren't kids anymore

[nocturne crest]

I feel like a 40k version of Jojo rabbit is possible.

[opaque coyote]

"Look at that rugged 30 y/o guardsman!"

"I'm 15."

"...oh"

[crystal forum]

the british military used children pretty regularly before the 20th century

[near wasp]

I was more meaning it could take years to get to the actual war zone your supposed to fight in

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but that doesn't mean there's bloodshed adventure in-between!

[crystal forum]

it's been a pretty long time since then no?

i'm sure that whenever GW does the next armageddon story the planet will be rebuilt

the imperium should really turn that thing into a fortress world

[umbral orbit]

armageddon is probably done for to be honest

FOUR wars 😭 i dont think the orks (or angron) left anything behind to be rebuilt

[crystal forum]

not all the wars were about orks

[umbral orbit]

yeah but i think it still stands that

armageddon is a shithole rn

[crystal forum]

the last time armageddon got attacked was by angron himself

[umbral orbit]

its effectively been sterilized

[rancid cove]

isnt this still the 3rd one?

[crystal forum]

(nobody cares because it's about space marines)

[heady rivet]

3rd war, 2nd war to the majority of the Imperium

[crystal forum]

grey knights no less

peak slop

[heady rivet]

1st war top secret

[scenic trout]

in the 41 millenia theres only orks

[umbral orbit]

i think so

[crystal forum]

just like the black crusades, only one actually matters

holy shit the lexicanum page for the third war for armageddon is funny

nobles being on the side of orks

[umbral orbit]

armageddon nobility?? 😭

[crystal forum]

yeah those fuckers screwed over the planet

believe it or not

the morons really made deals with orks

so they'd be spared if orks won

inept and stupid nobility leadership is like a recurring theme in guard stories

and i love it every time

Princeps Prime Kurtiz Mannheim of the Iron Skulls Titan Legion, who would eventually perish as a result of von Strab's orders, described the Overlord as "the greatest waste of flesh and bone born in the last five hundred years."[

[arctic talon]

The sold out the people and the guard and anyone who came to help lol

[umbral orbit]

that makes sense

in usual noble fashion

[arctic talon]

The orks were not going to spare them

Btw lol

[crystal forum]

seriously though how stupid do you have to be to make a deal with an ork 😭

[arctic talon]

The most kunning orks did it

[crystal forum]

it's great

i should rewatch lore videos about it

peak campaign

His incompetence was seen right from the very beginning of the second war. He was given several warnings about the potential invasion: The Imperial Tarot gave the same reading of disaster, time after time; Navigators on incoming freighters warned of a massive warp storm brewing; and the Statue of the Emperor in Hive Helsreach wept bloody tears. Von Strab ignored them all.

he straight up caused the destruction of all the titans on armageddon by sending them to fight a thousand gargants without any support

[arctic talon]

He was insanely incompetent in general

He wasn’t even doing anything out of malice in the second war

He was just fucking stupid

Third war is when he sells out Armageddon

And then subsequently dies

[crystal forum]

i love imperial incompetence

so peak

[nocturne crest]

I just had the funniest idea: They show new Jopall Indentured Guardsmen at the preview show.

[arctic talon]

Fun fact jopall were a steel legion repaint

Emphasis on were

[nocturne crest]

So they could be a krieg repaint then?

[arctic talon]

Fucking green

If GW so pleases lol

[crystal forum]

jopall's paint scheme is horrendous but i think most people know about them for their interesting lore

well the like 5 lines of text they have

[arctic talon]

It’s so bad it’s good

This shit is iconic

[crystal forum]

they look like they're sponsored by a mint gum

[arctic talon]

The fucking Ryza pattern lasgun

In what elevates it

They goofy gun paired with goofy armor paired with goofy color scheme

It’s perfect

[crystal forum]

this just looks so annoying to paint too

[arctic talon]

I wonder if we get a modern Jopall GW will change their scheme to the old white dwarf one

Where it’s dark green + no spots

[arctic talon]

Oh this would be annoying as shit lol

You can’t even make it faster with an air brush

I guess you could try flicking

But then you risk getting shit on the face

[crystal forum]

intricate paint schemes on small spam units is not a good mix

[arctic talon]

Tbh I think doing a squad of snipers as jopall would be cute

Assuming we get sniper squads back

Prolly not

[crystal forum]

the whole indentured servitude thing is just so weird in 40k too

[arctic talon]

Eh not really

Their worlds just like that

[crystal forum]

it's just that it's another way to do what other regiment already do

[arctic talon]

I think it’s fun for flavor

[crystal forum]

cadians will just conscript

funny to think that a planet bothers to pretend the guardsman has a way out

would be interesting to see what life is like on jopall

just a hyper capitalist hellscape

i remember luetin used to always mention in his videos that in 40k there's a few planets that closely resemble modern earth in terms of culture and even technology

[storm jungle]

He was really exaggerating

hes a proper yapper that guy

[languid meadow]

statically there's at least one but it's also probably not even in the imperium

[nocturne crest]

That would be nice. Jopall snipers and Valhallan version of the white shields.

[spare osprey]

It just looks... itchy.

[hollow lantern]

Unironically my favorite weird unsupported regi

I love the concept of them

[full obsidian]

looks like pyjamas

[civic gale]

wish i had money for mechanicus

[heady rivet]

Its also an agri-world so just imagine the dust bowl

[vagrant fox]

mild +2

[opaque coyote]

I am playing something...

thunder strike

Marvel Rivals

With my besties

Cause they want me to play it with them

Punisher is fun

Probably my favorite DPS so far

He's simple but really fucking fun

[rancid cove]

toothpaste ahh guard

[vagrant fox]

great news for the hadron simps

[arctic talon]

lol

[fervent geode]

Omnissiah be praised!

[vagrant fox]

and great news for me

[storm jungle]

extremely based

[heady rivet]

Okay everyone please take a guess at how old this son is

[storm jungle]

40?

[heady rivet]

He is ||20. I thought he was a toddler at first.||

[storm jungle]

[solid horizon]

Who the hell names their kid Saxon

Hello meet my son Judas Priest

[opaque coyote]

I mean there's kids named after gemstones

My bestie's dead name literally was a gemstone

[heady rivet]

He named a kid after a keyboard smash and elf letters

[jade holly]

I wanna be named after a constellation

Orion

Leo

Sagittarius

[opaque coyote]

I mean constellations in the first place are based off of mythological figures

[opaque coyote]

So you'd just be naming yourself after an ancient name

[jade holly]

Yeah, Orion is straight forward, Sagittarius is Chiron

I forget the others

Lmao

Aries I wanna say is just the boring answer of Ares

[opaque coyote]

Be a tradeigh and name yourself Orian

Jk

Also marvel Rivals is fun

It reminds me of overwatch except I can actually do damage

[jade holly]

I’m waiting for War Machine, Doctor Voodoo, Luke Cage, High Evo and Arnim Zola

and Heimdall

[opaque coyote]

I like Punisher

And Iron Man

[jade holly]

Punisher is fun, but I can’t aim With him

I can’t use hitscan

Projectiles all the way

And Ultron

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I was like "why does he have zero recoil"

Went into a match

"oh that's why"

[jade holly]

The camera in Rivals makes it so hard to aim at times

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I noticed

[jade holly]

But knowing how Rivals designs heroes I want War Machine built like this

Or like Calgar

[opaque coyote]

Also I like

Angela

Firstly because she's a hot muscular woman.

Secondly because she's genuinely fun to play

Fly around like a fucking bee

Stab people like a bee

When you want, drop down and chop people

[jade holly]

You gotta admit War Machine would look so badass if his armor was this big

[opaque coyote]

Fly up and become a bee again

Repeat

[opaque coyote]

I hate to admit it

But that UM got drip

[jade holly]

Angela is fun when you learn to kidnap with her

Also fun fact: she’s not a Marvel character, originally

She was from Spawn

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that makes sense

She seemed a little out of place ngl

Even in Marvel Rivals

Marvel usually doesn't do muscle women unless if it's she hulk

[jade holly]

Also she has a wife who may never be in the game/have interactions with her because the game is made by a Chinese studio

[opaque coyote]

Sadge

[jade holly]

Angela mentions her once in all of her dialogue

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I had a feeling that she wasn't straight ngl

[jade holly]

which means we may also not get to have Ghost Rider

Unless it’s Robbie Reyes

[opaque coyote]

Why

[jade holly]

China doesn’t like skulls

[opaque coyote]

Ghost Rider is cool as fuck

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah right

They got the Punisher though

[jade holly]

That’s why Punisher’s logo is different

[opaque coyote]

What it looks pretty similar

They only added like

Horns

[jade holly]

It’s made to look more like a demon than a skull

[opaque coyote]

I mean honestly making Ghost Rider look more angelic would be interesting

Or demonic

[jade holly]

But he has the 2099 skin which has a bunch of skulls

[opaque coyote]

Depending how much of a deep cut with the lore

[jade holly]

And there’s a new gallery card with a guy who has a skull front and center

So who knows

[opaque coyote]

Chinese censorship is notoriously weird ngl

Genshin had a similar situation. Ik ik

[jade holly]

Prob cause you don’t see those too often in game

I guess

[opaque coyote]

Genshin but this isn't necessarily about ut

Basically

[jade holly]

Warhammer would NOT survive China lmao

[opaque coyote]

Four characters had to get minor redesigns.

Basically covering up their skin somewhat

Global had the option to revert back to old

But CN and story use the new designs forcefully

But then later on they released a character in a fucking bikini

Tbf it isn't like a thin ass bikini but it definitely shows much more skin than like

What the four characters had

[jade holly]

There’s one other character I wanna see in Rivals but idk if he’ll be added for… what he’s connected to

[opaque coyote]

She was a surfer dude type character btw

Literally rides around on a shark surfboard

That is alive

But that aside, Chinese censorship can get weird

And overly specific

It's probably a fucking minefield except the mines are placed in the most random places possible

[jade holly]

I mean Hydra in game is focused more on the occult side so they could easily rewrite him to be more for that

But uh… he has history

[opaque coyote]

Honestly

I have thought about that

And tbh you could easily replace the skull decorations with angelic statues

It would still make sense

Characters like the Emperor would be a rotting zombie instead of a skeleton

Although tbh in general I like the idea that the Emperor is a mummy

Rather than a skeleton

Since he's still technically alive biologically.

It would make sense if nothing has rotted persay. Just dried out

A husk

[jade holly]

The character I wanted to see in Rivals btw was Red Skull. But I fully understand why if they don’t wanna use him. I thought about rewriting him to be Hive’s chosen avatar, a Warlock given Hive’s powers and not… ya know

[opaque coyote]

Red Skull would be a difficult character even if Marvel Rivals was made in America

Or Europe

Actually especially Europe

[jade holly]

You would have to jump through so many hoops to make him even considerable to add

but hey at least we got Arnim Zola as a depicted villain

[opaque coyote]

Also on an slightly unrelated note

The MCU Captain America movie is still one of my favorites

[jade holly]

Here’s how he looks btw

[opaque coyote]

I guess the MCU movies that are the best are the ones that could easily be treated as standalone

But still are connected

The Iron Man series (yes I like all of the movies shut the fuck u-), Captain America: First Winter Soldier, etc.

[jade holly]

Iron Man 2 gave me MCU War Machine

And the fight in the Maddison Square Garden

[opaque coyote]

Genuinely I don't like his redesigns as much as the IM2 one

Because I think it's great due to that gruff look

[jade holly]

IM2 War Machine was peak

But Infinity War’s was good too

[opaque coyote]

Like it's basically a prototype IM suit

With a bunch of weapons attached to it

[jade holly]

It was the MK 2

Canonically

[opaque coyote]

IK

Which was a prototype

It was used by Tony to fly

And then he was like

"Ah shit it sucks in high air"

after falling like 10000 feet in the sir

So he made a 3rd one

[opaque coyote]

But yeah I think the best parts about War Machine is that he looks less sleek and more rugged and gruff

[jade holly]

And whenever he landed, you FELT it

The preamble to the airport fight is the most apparent

[opaque coyote]

So generally I do think him being built as a tank would be best.

[jade holly]

You see Tony land with barely a thud then then War Machine fucking shakes the entire screen lmao

[opaque coyote]

It's also why the MK1 is one of my favorites

Because despite logically being impossible to make

It still feels real

"BUILT IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"

It's also why things like

Earlier Mark PA suits in the Horus Heresy look better

I like the MK3

[jade holly]

Here’s a few fan made concepts of how he’d look

[opaque coyote]

And even T-45 in Fallout

Are generally my favorite looks wise

[opaque coyote]

I like the second in everything except the actual mask

[jade holly]

War Machine is my favorite marvel hero ever

[opaque coyote]

Eyes are too close together feels weird

[jade holly]

Second place is Blade

[opaque coyote]

I like Spiderman

Generic af answer ik

It is also why I never read much newer Spiderman comics

Because even ignoring the obvious Paul in the room

They just aren't written that well a lot of the times

There are some good ones though

It ain't all garbage

[opaque coyote]

I do hope for Carnage in Marvel Rivals

[jade holly]

Same

[opaque coyote]

I mean if Venom is a tank

Then Carnage would likely be DPS or even Strategist

[jade holly]

Hot take: Agent Venom/ Agent Anti-Venom as a strategist

[opaque coyote]

Although it would be ironic for Carnage to be a strategist because he's a fucking serial killer

[jade holly]

I’m all in favor of the rule of threes: characters with similar skill sets or gear with one fulfilling each role

[opaque coyote]

I like how Peni Parker is designed

[jade holly]

Iron Man, War Machine, Rescue (fuck you Iron Heart)

[opaque coyote]

A mix of the original comic version and spider verse

[opaque coyote]

Also her story is basically

Evangelion Spiderman

With all of the suffering of both

Peni literally got her Eddie Brock equivalent as a bestie

And then had said Eddie Brock equivalent absorbed into their respective robot suit

After going crazy

Like their body was just absorbed into it

It's not finished as far as I'm aware

But Peni suffers a lot

And unlike Evangelion, she's her equivalent of Spiderman so it never ends

[jade holly]

Sandman would be a baller tank

[opaque coyote]

100%

[jade holly]

I’m kinda sad tho

Before Rivals released I managed to speak with a dev on potential future heroes

They said they could see War Machine as a flying tank (fuck yes)

But Red Hulk is too similar to Hulk

When he’s totally not

[rocky gale]

Yep her "Canon event" was her best friend being absorbed by the VEN#m suit and then her aunt May also being absorbed by it while trying to save her.

There's a reason she goes from

What are the chances they'll go for his design where he had tank treads?

Or this design:

absolute unit

[dapper gyro]

why having track when the thing already have jetpack?

Dead weight with no tactical advantage.

[plush mason]

that looks like he took the Ironmonger suit and fused it with his suit

[rancid cove]

Hmmmmm

[civic gale]

Interesting

[midnight dragon]

Chaos space marines are inclusive to disabled ppl

[final dagger]

For warhammer fantasy which lore should I start with the warhammer age of sigmar or warhammer the old world

[outer wave]

I think you could reasonably start either or: AoS is kind of a sequel to OG Fantasy, but it only comes up with certain characters that are in AoS and otherwise could be ignored. Fantasy does give a nice basis on a good chunk of the AoS races and their respective fantasies, themes, and such

[arctic talon]

You can read whichever you please, its not like AoS is a direct sucessor to WHFB/Old World

[final dagger]

Old world is the orginal warhammer right the very first hammer .

[winter pine]

Old World is I think 200ish years in the past before the End Times for Fantasy?

[outer wave]

Thought it was before the events of Fantasy itself, not just End Times

[jade holly]

Servitor ahh War Machine

[jade holly]

Ironkin are so fucking cool

[arctic talon]

Warhammer fantasy battle is the first warhammer made yes

And Old World is in the past of warhammer fantasy battle

[winged jacinth]

as long as they can use a sword!

[winged jacinth]

im reading the regular wikipedia page for 40k and the language is getting a good laugh out of me

WAAAGH! is also what draws Orks to a warboss, since that is how they recognize someone to be "bigga" and "greena" and therefore "betta"

[winged jacinth]

On December 13, 2010,[87] Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie was released directly to DVD. It is a CGI science fiction film, based around the Ultramarines Chapter of Space Marines[...] It was received poorly.[88]

'Ello

[rocky gale]

He seems a jolly fellow of a pleasant demeanour

[forest orbit]

Yes

[scenic trout]

The emperor is a freak

[sour hornet]

What differentiates a god from a powerful psyker if both can do fucky shit

Wasn't it Eldrad Ulthran that straight up halted time once

so he could speak to fucking John Grammaticus of all people

[rocky gale]

Me when I stop time to inform the Subway worker they made my sandwich wrong.

[limpid granite]

ahriman and mephiston can both stop time but ahriman is a far more powerful psyker

[sour hornet]

Ahriman is juiced with tzeentchian sorcery though no?

Mephiston rolled a nat20 and survived his mild mental breakdown

[civic gale]

"mild mental breakdown"

[limpid granite]

hes an extremely powerful sorcerer yes

mephiston recovered from the black rage and turned his personality completely around

[urban spire]

worship, which means gods are subjective

[celest dome]

Halting time is much less impressive when you realise that it's basically accelerating time in a small area ans nor halting it in the whole universe

[hexed sluice]

Question for our lore expert: just how wide spread are Kroot throughout the galaxy?

[urban spire]

they're not very common but they are very independent, you can potentially run into them more or less anywhere

[wary fulcrum]

Yes is the best term

They can feasibly pop up in a lot of fringe places or places where the rules aren’t strictly enforced

[urban spire]

their ships aren't very stealthy though so like

probably not in densely populated imperium space

[wary fulcrum]

Chilling out on an Astartes recruiting world is probably unlikely

But on Necromunda? I could see them as bodyguards, or mercenaries unwittingly hired for a greatest game style safari

[urban spire]

but even then they might be part of a rogue trader's retinue, or even an inquisitor's posse

[hexed sluice]

good to know. People are wondering what we could have as addiotional expidition zones like on Atrox, but that would require some tweaking since the whole point is time limit-extractions.

[urban spire]

what's atrox?

[hexed sluice]

Atoma's moon

Forest planet, so you would not die of radiation

[urban spire]

ah, something going on there?

[hexed sluice]

not as of yet, but it would be fun to have a new biome,

there military depot there I think

[urban spire]

well if kroot did show up there, there wouldn't be enough of them to serve as enemies in a horde shooter like darktide

[hexed sluice]

I was thinking they would more or less be a punishment enemy if you linger too long on an expedition there, since forest means no lethal radiation (usually)
so exceed the time limit, you get a pack of very tough kroot hunters, and maybe some of their kritter friends

who wants to fight a krootox?

[wary fulcrum]

Not as enemies, but as characters…

No no, that would be fair too tempting

Fat shark don’t like making money, it will never happen

[hexed sluice]

it ain't that, GW pulls the strings.

[wary fulcrum]

Oh I’m just joking about how it won’t happen

[hexed sluice]

not for this game, but Dark Heresy is promising us one

one kroot

[cerulean trellis]

one kroot to find them all xD

on another note i have been reading imperium maledictum's core rulebook and i found a description for how Melta weaponry works. granted the range given is somewhat about shotgun range but here the description for those interested:

Though usually short ranged, Melta weapons are powerfull and can turn most armour and even the toughest of foes into molten liquids. They commonly use highly pressurised, unstable sub-molecural gases that are fired in beams of intense heat, so strong that the air itself burns to steam along the path only to be overshadowed by screams of agony. They use a focused bean of intense energy to induca a sub-molecurlar thermal agitation in their targets, and excel at melting through the stout armour of bunkers or combat vehicles. These specifics are lost on most users, who care only that the weapons destructive capabilities are outstripped only by the targets brief screams of agony.

[rancid cove]

The Imperium and all of its variation of heat guns

Volkite, melta, plasma...

[cerulean trellis]

i mean

heat is dangerous

and high heat is even more dangerous

if you grind it down the way a lasgun deals damage is also heat

light so intense it burns

an strictly speaking even an autopistol just converst the heat created by friction to ignite something producing more heat to convert it into kinetic energy and propell a lead slug

coem to think of it ... how does eldar shuriken technology work?

does it convert heat to kinetic energy too or does it propell the projectiele through different means?

[rancid cove]

Yeah its just kinda funny how the Imperium separates all of them differently when they're just heat but in different colors

[cerulean trellis]

i mean it does make sense to sepperate underlying principles, no?

no clue how volkite is supposed to work but:
melta uses super heated gas to heat up the target (note that unlike volkite melta are not usually a continuous beam)
plasma supposedly supercharges fuel into a critical state where it is a glob of intensly heated material that explodes upon contact
Bolters use blackpowder to fire a propelled miniature rocket that explodes on impact
lasguns intensify the light to a degree it causes burns
flamers simply ignite prometheum
autoguns are basically black powder weapons

kinda like separating assault rifles from DMR's, sniper rifle, shotguns and pistols. same type of shit just applied differently

humans love categorising after all

[near wasp]

Volkite is a thermal beam

[cerulean trellis]

that much i know but other than that i have no clue

of the others at least i understand the basic principle ^^'

[near wasp]

I'd think it's a combination of las tech and plasma tech

[cerulean trellis]

could be

[near wasp]

Instead of a las gun shooting a short pulse beam it shoots a concentrated long beam

And it has coils similar to plamsa gun

[cerulean trellis]

maybe cawl was trying to rediscover the basics of plasma weaponry? after all how to maintain and manufacture plasma guns is a well kept secret evene among the techpriests

[near wasp]

I think he knows how to make plasma weapons

Volkite is rarer than plasma

[cerulean trellis]

possibly, still knowing how to build something and udnerstanding how the thing works well enough to apply it to different things are vastly different

[near wasp]

If anybody knows how it'd be cawl

[cerulean trellis]

i mean yeah plasma is ancient technology so it has been produced for millenia wheras volkite is new, right?

[near wasp]

No

[cerulean trellis]

that is a fair assumption

[near wasp]

Volkite were the original intended weapons for the space Marines

But switched to bolters for mass production

[cerulean trellis]

i thougth they were intended for the primaris not the original marines

[near wasp]

Great crusade

[cerulean trellis]

to be fair last astartes codex i touched was 6th edition, so pre indomitus era

[near wasp]

Cawl made volkite for his primaris

But it was the emperors idea first

[cerulean trellis]

hm... seems also ratehr unpractical

as volkite weaponry requires a prolonged sight line to the target until it fully charges and detonates

wheras a bolter requires but a fraction of that

that is to my understanding

[near wasp]

Maybe but volkite turns armor into paper

Bolters are also just cheaper and easier to arm

[cerulean trellis]

as do melta and plasma

[solid horizon]

didnt volkite exist before tho

[near wasp]

But melta is close range and plasma can explode in your face

[solid horizon]

30k ad mech is equipped with volkite stuff

[near wasp]

That's exactly what I was saying

[cerulean trellis]

ofc, bolters also excell at dealign dmg to less heavily armored foes

[solid horizon]

mb I didnt read

[near wasp]

Bolters are also a fear weapon

[solid horizon]

space marines with space flintlocks would look funky lmao

[cerulean trellis]

yes to melta, but according to in universe information the main reason plasma tends to be explodey is because they are poorly maintained

[solid horizon]

isnt it because you overcharge it ?

[cerulean trellis]

so technically speakign a fresh from the artisan plasma shoudl have a way lower chance of going boom than an older one

[near wasp]

I mean just like any weapon it can fail

[cerulean trellis]

yes but that mainly needs to be done because the guns are old an no longer function on peak efficiency

[near wasp]

But plasma just tends to be more catastrophic because the amount of energy

[cerulean trellis]

or in extreme situations

[solid horizon]

kinda funny how in old tabletop rules they were hazardous regardless of the way you used it

[cerulean trellis]

a normaly used plasma weapon shoudl never explode

[solid horizon]

plasma isnt that good tbh

[cerulean trellis]

no argument there

[solid horizon]

melta supremacy gang

[cerulean trellis]

the downside to melta being it has short range

[solid horizon]

eradication rays all the way

[solid horizon]

yeah thankfully

[near wasp]

I like plasma

[cerulean trellis]

same

[solid horizon]

I like eradication rays and arc weapons

they look funny

[near wasp]

In rogue trade I use a plasma pistol and just shoot until I explode

[cerulean trellis]

i prefer the holy trinity but plasma has a special place in my heart

[near wasp]

Nothing like turning a daemons heart into slag

[cerulean trellis]

noice

[near wasp]

I dislike arc tbh

[cerulean trellis]

demons having hearts?

[solid horizon]

radiator gun

I like new hastarii and may be one of the only ones

[near wasp]

Not being literal but they may have hearts depending

[solid horizon]

BECAUSE YOU CAN GIVE THEM ERADICATION BEAMS

[solid horizon]

old necron lasgun (back when everyone had one) looked like an eradication ray, maybe why I like them

(eradication rays)

[near wasp]

Pewter?

[wary fulcrum]

Pewter? I hardly knew her!

Pew pew

[rancid cove]

Are there anti-psyker weaponry? Maybe also anti-psyker/warp field that once a psyker is inside of it they are unable to connect to the warp

Had some ideas for a backstory for a character of mine but wanted to make sure

If those type of equipment exist

[wary fulcrum]

Hexagramic wards, the stake crossbows

[vagrant fox]

Witch bolts, psykout weapons, culexus assassins, null-rods, banishing rods, several wardings

null blockers

[rancid cove]

Are there any canon anti-psyker fields?

[wary fulcrum]

Pretty sure null collars exist too

[heady rivet]

A second, even better Psyker

[vagrant fox]

null rods, banishing rods

some sort of null collar yeah, psy dampers

blanks in general

[rancid cove]

Ok now second question: I know when a primarch dies, a psychic wave in the warp happens so that every space marine feels it (that being why the Blood Angels were granted their Black Rage mutation)
If a Blood Angel marine was somehow in a situation where they're cut off from the warp while Sanguinius died, could they be able to avoid the mutation of the Black Rage?

[cerulean trellis]

null rods

oh sigsen was fasta

also there are null cells

and if you wanan go mass transport: the black ships are anti psyker

voidmen that have high psychic resistancy

sisters of silence

null cells, null collars

[wary fulcrum]

Probably not like

Most current blood angels weren’t around when Sanguinnius died, still affected but it

[heady rivet]

You say most, but I think all. I dont know of any Heresy-era Dreadnoughts besides that Space Wolf

[near wasp]

Teaching my boss about 40k

[vagrant fox]

Blangels seem to have a high turnover rate mostly, a few most special boys aside

Doubt being shielded would help in any way

[near wasp]

Trying to explain things in simple terms is hard

[nocturne crest]

Huh. Gundam is getting into the tabletop business.

[rancid cove]

Welp then the backstory I had in mind isnt viable

Fuck

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah but you never know with GW, there was a heresy era salamander who rocked up in modern day at one point

Died like, 20 seconds he woke up from the Sus an membrane, but still

And Dante might be knocking an 0 off

[vagrant fox]

I suspect it's more that Sanguinius' death was particularly stinky and how warp saturated the whole area was as well that made it affect the Blangels more than usual

[wary fulcrum]

What was it?

There’s not possible at all, and not possible on it’s current form

[rancid cove]

Well Dante did accept being the bright side of the chapter in a dream (while Mephisto got to be the dark side of the chapter)

[vagrant fox]

You can still do it if you just come up with a reasonable reason

[rancid cove]

Blood Angel, who during the Heresy, was fighting a group of heretic astartes commanded by a sorcerer, fought off the sorcerer by activating a anti-warp barrier so that his powers wouldnt work after being cut off from the warp
Happened at the same time Sangy died, since he was disconnected from the warp and any type of warp related shenanigans he didnt feel it and never developed the black rage

[wary fulcrum]

To be fair, he might never develop it

Not all BA get it

[last stone]

I thought it was always something hiding in the background

[heady rivet]

Yeah its a warp-related condition. Lamenters were the only ones with BA geneseed that were immune but even that ended

[rancid cove]

My idea would that be that his gene-seed is "purer" than others, having no sign of mutation/degradation whilist others still present signs of the Black Rage without developing it

But oh well

Ill come up with something else I guess

[last stone]

that would make him too much of a special muffin if you ask me

[wary fulcrum]

Right, everyone with the geneseed might get it

But that doesn’t mean each one will get it

[last stone]

just as biological mutations

[wary fulcrum]

The degradation is the red thirst, that’s the issue with BA

Black rage is different again

[rancid cove]

As much as I agree, 40k is one of the medias that I literally couldn't care less if your OC is overpowered as fuck because of all the other named characters

If it was any other media I'd avoid making overpowered OCs but 40k is just already filled with powertripping characters

[rancid cove]

Got it

[wary fulcrum]

But both are possible

Neither are guaranteed for BA

So your guy just never falling to either is entirely possible

[rancid cove]

[vagrant fox]

As is, stated a few times but I'm not sure it's a hard 100% truth, if they don't die in battle eventually they will feel the Black Rage coming at them

But Mephiston overcame it so w/e

[wary fulcrum]

Eventually is a long timeline

Dante is 1,100 years old

[rancid cove]

Other than Mephiston, has there any other blangel that avoided/overcame it?

[vagrant fox]

Yeah but he almost fell to it in the Devestation of Baal but didn't because he's an important lad

[wary fulcrum]

Dante has avoided it

Most active BA have avoided it

[vagrant fox]

Lemartes just kind of lives with it on all of the time

[wary fulcrum]

But after 1,100 years

If you plan for your character to outlast Dante and be the oldest living Astartes, sure it’s a worry to take into account

If you don’t, you can just ignore it

[rancid cove]

It isn't, he dies and his gene-seed is inserted into my main OC
But oh well

Just was thinking of how making her avoid the rage

[vagrant fox]

Just be good at resisting it

Some of them do that

[wary fulcrum]

Exactly this

Like resisting crack

It probably feels great

Not a great idea to partake though

[rancid cove]

Yeah I also thought of just making her resist it
Remembered of a (deathwatch book I think?) of a Flesh Tearer psyker almost going insane in a warp travel but literally rawdogging it completely screaming like he was going super saiyan

[wary fulcrum]

Yeah that works fine

[vagrant fox]

`Denial fails me. Phlegethon vanishes at once. I am on Terra. The Imperial Palace burns to the east.
No, it does not. It is Hive Profundis that burns. I know this. I cannot see it. The reality of Terra is firm. I cannot pierce the lie.
A figure blocks my path. In the burning fog of red and black, I cannot see the colour of his armour. If he seeks to interfere, he is an enemy. I raise the Blood Crozius.

‘Chaplain Lemartes,’ the shape says. ‘Brother.’ He knows me. I know him. Corbulo. Phlegethon. I am on Phlegethon.
But all I see, tinted crimson, is Terra. Thunder. Flashes. Shaking beneath my feet. Impacts. There is shelter here.

I cannot see the crater. The impacts are from the enemy’s cannons. Mounted on the stolen walls of the Palace. No. That is the lie. Surface from the rage.

‘What do you see?’ Corbulo asks.

Sinking. Sinking.

‘I see you,’ I croak. ‘Corbulo.’

‘Where are you?’

‘Before Hive Profundis.’ I lie. I cannot be shackled now. I must lead the attack.

I walk forward. I stop. I try again to force the vision away. It shifts, as if broken up by the meteor storm. I am not on Terra. I am on Horus’s battle-barge. Decking beneath my feet. Dark walls on either side. Vaults.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

‘Where are you?’ Corbulo insists. His shape gathers definition. A great eye on his armour.

No. No. No.

‘Phlegethon,’ I say. I think I do. My lips move. I cannot hear what I say for the clash of guns and the roars of battling Space Marines near me.

That must be a lie too. But I do not know.

All trace of the real is gone. All I can grasp is the shifting of the illusion. The knowledge that what I see is not real. If I lose that conviction, I am lost.

More words from the Traitor–
Corbulo.`

Just do as Lemartes and deal with it 4head

Either way, sometimes it gets them as initiates, sometimes you get some marines who get fairly old and resist it the whole time. It's specific to each of them

[rancid cove]

I see

So I could just make her resist trough it and eventually it just becomes a bad headache?

[vagrant fox]

It'll probably never go away but if you want

blangels resist it by having hobbies and Dante has his weird prophecy to save the emperor that keeps him focused. The Flesh Tearers mock the Blood Angels for having hobbies but also have a much higher attrition to the black rage

[rancid cove]

I think I remember reading somewhere that some chapters avoid the Black Rage by just accepting the red thirst and drinking a lot of blood and consuming human meat like bread

I think it was the Angels Vermillion?

[vagrant fox]

Yeah they have The Sorrowing, involves bathing in blood and sacrificing a sanguinary priest

It reduced the numbers falling but didn't eliminate it

The Blood Drinkers accidentally made a deal with a daemon but it made their black rage much less likely at least

[rancid cove]

Welp my OC already bathes in blood, but why specifically a sanguinary priest? Or could I just replace it by making her sacrifice a lot of slaves?

[rancid cove]

Oh that sounds cool

[vagrant fox]

Don't think it's said, maybe the same reason they mix their own blood with other blood in the red grail to purify it as such

[rancid cove]

I see

Welp I could just go the same route as the Blood Drinkers since my OC is a chaos warband leader

Just make deal with daemons duh

[vagrant fox]

Chaos bargains is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

[rancid cove]

Darth Sidious i know its you get out from the alt bruh

[rigid dune]

A tyranid carnifex can kill a space marine right?

[vagrant fox]

Very much so

Standard warriors should be roughly on par with a space marine

[rigid dune]

What would you compare to a carnifex? A knight?

[vagrant fox]

I suppose dreadnought but I don't know for sure

[wary fulcrum]

Depends

A dreadnought would probably be a match like

[urban spire]

space marines are heavy infantry, anything that kills regular infantry still kills space marines, just slower

[rancid cove]

I'm pretty sure a carnifex by itself can kill more than just 1 marine

[prisma lark]

depends on whether the Space Marine has a name and/or a helmet 🤷‍♂️

[rancid cove]

Titus literally almost fucking dies by one at the start of sm2 game

He's saved by plot ofc

They had to put him trough rubicon surgery to survive

If anything a carnifex could probably kill like 3 marines but I'm not that knowledgeable in tyranids

[wary fulcrum]

You can kill that one like

[vagrant fox]

Elemental council was alright, did not like the ending

[storm jungle]

Another bad Sigsen take

-50 points

[vagrant fox]

+50

[wary fulcrum]

Net zero

[storm jungle]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Carnifex

Carnifexes are hulking, powerful Tyranid creatures used as living battering rams. They are often armed with the most powerful Tyranid Bio-weapons, and are used in shock assaults, spaceship boarding actions, massed battles, and for battering through fortified positions and tank formations.[1b][14b]

They are more like biotanks basically

[rocky gale]

I think the Boarding action part is the most terrifying

Like imagine just chilling on a space ship and a tank tears through the wall

[storm jungle]

Imagine this fucker in an enclosed space, resident evill ass chase scene inbound

yeah literally lmao

it can also just melt/smash through most things so uh have fun with that i guess

[rancid cove]

Only if you learn the attack patterns after a while of gameplay and even then, the carnifex is strong and has a very resistant carapace
That shit will probably kill a good 4-5 marines before being put down for sure

[storm jungle]

it doesnt help that the Nids showcase in SM2 is like extremely bad lol

About anything the marines do makes zero sense

and would like not effect the war at all

[rancid cove]

Yeah also this
if it was actually 100% lore accurate they would've died multiple times at the first stage of the game ngl

[storm jungle]

LMAO YEAH

The 5 carnifex part especially

"WE WON GUYS, THEY ARE ALL DEAD"

No dumbass they'd all go berserk and fucking kill you still

[rancid cove]

Got I remember the adrenaline rush I had when I saw 5 of those motherfuckers showing up, I screamed so loud I scared my moms customers

[storm jungle]

I wouldnt make a big deal of it but this game is a big introduction for alot of people and i see tons of "How can the Imperium win against Nids if all you gotta do is kill synapse creatures and all of them die"

[storm jungle]

So long gay bowser

🫡

[rancid cove]

All it does is give the nids some semi consciousness that turns them berserk mode
it can stun them for a while but I don't think it can really kill them like it happens in the game

[storm jungle]

Yeah i get that the devs didnt wanna work that hard but lol

[rancid cove]

Also don't nids who are cut off from the hive-mind turn into like, the most adaptive predator creature in the enviroment its in? Shit probably acts like a xenomorph and kills everything in its path

[rancid cove]

Truly
as a game by itself? very fun
As for being lore accurate? lmao

[jade holly]

Can’t wait for SM3 where we throw hands with 3 Defilers, 2 Forgefiends, a Lord Discordant on a Helstalker and Mutilators at the same time

[rancid cove]

The only thing that would convince me to pre-order space marine 3 on reveal is if they promise chaos armor unlock on PvE day 1

i've been praying every single day so they add chaos armor to operations on sm2 and nothing

[jade holly]

If the main enemy in 3 is Necrons

I cannot wait for that one mission where we fight a Skorpekh Lord surrounded by Hexmarks, LHDs and Skorpekhs

And then an Ophydian digging around

[rancid cove]

Acheran reincarnated on a necron

"I can only spare 3 necrons"

[jade holly]

They call it Space Marines 3 because that’s how many Titus can be spared

[rancid cove]

Genuinely wanna know how they gonna balance them skelly bois in the game

the average gauss is deleting a space marine from existence

[jade holly]

Mfw people really underestimate just how fucking broken Necrons are in lore

[rancid cove]

I swear to the dark gods if the multiplayer is only 3 players again Im killing someone

[jade holly]

Isn’t Szarekh low C’tan level?

[rancid cove]

no idea im a noob in necrons lore

i just know theyre overpowered as fuck

like

[jade holly]

Szarekh has the best Necrodermis body, the most cognitive clarity, has a C’tan shard powering his staff of light

[rancid cove]

casually time travelling and having soul erasing weapons

[jade holly]

And can speed blitz Space Marines veterans casually

Without trying according to the book he was in for the Blood Angels

And all Lord and higher rank Necrons have the ability to alter how they experience time, meaning they can amplify their reaction times by tenfold by experiencing everything slower

[rancid cove]

i wonder if theyre gonna make the scarabs an threat to be feared in sm3 if necrons are included

those bois in lore are terrifying

[jade holly]

I want to fight lore accurate Destroyers and Flayed Ones

[rancid cove]

Ultrabuffed sandevistan

[rancid cove]

you're fucking dead

[jade holly]

Imagine fighting a Doomstalker

[rancid cove]

aint them flayed ones trapped in the ghoul starts tho?

[jade holly]

Trapped?

[rancid cove]

not trapped

uh

just around there

[jade holly]

They have their own pocket dimension for free interdimensional travel

[rancid cove]

yeah i misspoke cause theres a xenos race contained there

and iirc it mentions flayed ones having sort of a lair there

[jade holly]

That’s Novamarines I think? Guarding that one area

[rancid cove]

yuh

[solid horizon]

they will all die solo'ed by a scout

[rancid cove]

the only chapter that survived

[solid horizon]

space marines games are imperium propaganda

[jade holly]

Sniper Marine one shotting a Skorpekh Lord

[rancid cove]

i think it was 7 (or more) chapters who were sent there

[jade holly]

WAIT

[rancid cove]

and the only one who survived

was the nova marines

[jade holly]

C’Tan shard fight potentially

Like obv in lore that’s a FUCK NO situation

But imagine having a boss fight with a shard of the Nightbringer

[rancid cove]

was playing sniper yesterday and I killed a neurothrope in seconds shit is genuinely fried

[rancid cove]

we are so fucking dead

[wary fulcrum]

Uriel Ventris solo’s

[jade holly]

We learn the plot of SM3 is to stop the Nightbringer from reforming with other shards

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Titus, we are so fucked

[wary fulcrum]

No he literally takes on a shard in book 2

[jade holly]

You know what I want to see actually for SM3?

A Monolith in action

[wary fulcrum]

It’s why Pausanias has a necrodermis arm

[rancid cove]

how does my chud look

[jade holly]

show us just how terrifying a monolith can be

[solid horizon]

play dawn of war bro

[jade holly]

I would, IF IT WAS ON XBOX

[wary fulcrum]

Looks pure, as though from a pure chapter

[solid horizon]

necrons spend time turning their HQ into final unit

which is a monolith that can teleport and blow stuff up

and contain necrons

[jade holly]

DA players wondering where my HQ went not knowing I pulled a Rick and Morty

[wary fulcrum]

Impregnating your sister?

Adopting a freaky sex dragon?

Impregnating a sex doll?

[jade holly]

No, teleporting my base directly into another base

[rancid cove]

impregnating your sister, you say?

[jade holly]

what the fuck

[raven stone]

OK I am not one to entertain whining but this is pretty funny

And GW walked themselves into it

[fervent geode]

Had, evil Honsou Laughter

[wary fulcrum]

Have you not seen Rick and Morty?

There’s a whole thing there

[rancid cove]

something something funny language tower

[storm jungle]

tbh the whining is justified for once

id take 10 of these over another racist circlejerk lol

[jade holly]

I just want a new Trazyn

[solid horizon]

give immortals a new model

[near wasp]

New trayzen would be nice if they dropped in sync with rt dlc

If they are gonna that's when they'd do it

[rose thorn]

Dog I am NOT watching this

“Stop with the balance updates”

???????

[solid horizon]

destructible ruins are good

but the rest

no thanks

[outer wave]

Why would you want to balance the game around d20s?

That changes the game fundamentally!

[near wasp]

Stupid people

[languid meadow]

when the only TT game you've played is DnD and Pathfinder

[arctic talon]

Some people have fake nostalgia for pre 8e GW style balance updates

which is it to say Orks were literally unplayable for 3 years straight because they had to pay 30 points for a fucking Rokkit launcha

Destructible ruins are a good idea and should come back lol

my wants for 11e are they bring initaitve back, pointed wargear costs and templates

but the last one is like prolly not happening LOL

[daring creek]

I had a dream about nurgle

:(

[solid horizon]

this mean you are a chosen of nurgle

[daring creek]

[solid horizon]

sorry lass I dont make the rules

[daring creek]

I killed several infected ogyrns in a playground while I was picking fruit

Like a large group of them with a mark 3 bolter

The emperor is proud..

[wintry cloud]

😭 mag never fails to make me chuckle

So funny

[near wasp]

I had a dream once where I was an ultra marine fighting off a horde of orks, died in glorious battle in a graveyard of destroyed land raiders

[rocky gale]

Yea well I had a dream that you didn't

[rancid cove]

The Four Legged Emperor has declared we attack
Trillions must be consumed

[arctic talon]

TREEEEEEEES

TREEEEEEEEEEEES

TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

[celest dome]

Where's mag when we need her

[languid meadow]

yoooo new DoK stuff

they look so good god damn

[rocky gale]

and the sex tree

My friend who collects both Sylvanneth and DoK is freaking out

[storm jungle]

Sex and also sex

what a wonderful trade, thanks again AOS

[arctic talon]

don't call it that 💀

I will go insane if I pull this out on the tabletop and someone calls it a fucking sex tree

[rocky gale]

😏

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

You know what this is? And I’ll tell you what this is, it’s anti sylvaneth discrimination

GW please fix the fucking army rule and wyldwoods

[heady rivet]

Its kind of insane to see so many people be like "Yeah Armageddon only went through half the planet falling to Orks and another half of the remaining land fall to Khorne and had Angron show up but wdym they cant solo this?"

While also whinging about "Erm Cadia exploded" like Cadians werent being exported to the entire Imperium constantly for 10 millenia

[heady rivet]

Someone wished they werent half-naked and the monkeys paw curled to give us boob armor

[arctic talon]

Why not both

[heady rivet]

Yeah they should have exposed the midriff anyway

[arctic talon]

tbh the full armor makes sense

with what the unit role is

lol

[spring cairn]

midriff always good

methinks

all units should show it off

on every faction

[heady rivet]

Even the nids

[spring cairn]

yes

[limpid granite]

thats a pretree good model

hehe

[celest dome]

SM midriff would finally outsell SM Sergeants

[arctic talon]

Lord Invocatus has a crop top

[heady rivet]

Catachan refresh will give us the dose of exposed abs this fuckin game needs
