I have this about De Gaulle

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to metal Cawdor

[near wasp]

I'm actually scared to go into Portland bruh. Like it's a complete shit show but that's where the closest GW store is

[urban spire]

i'm gonna rewatch django unchained, fuck

[heady rivet]

De Gaulle only had a problem with Hitler because it wasnt France he was leading

[jade holly]

You know you need the plastic, you know it’s worth the risk

But in reality tho don’t go somewhere you don’t feel like you can be safe traveling through

[near wasp]

I'd rather get it delivered atp

[solid horizon]

darktide missions irl

[urban spire]

what's wrong with portland

also which portland

[heady rivet]

Total KKK death glory to the papist hordes of the Union

[near wasp]

You have no idea how accurate that is

[jade holly]

It’s in Oregon

[gleaming gale]

You must recover the data reliquaries before the cultists get you

[jade holly]

[solid horizon]

god I hate old necron sprues

[vagrant fox]

[urban spire]

oh that portland

[solid horizon]

why are all the parts so damn close to the sprue

[urban spire]

i don't know anything about the oregon portland actually

[solid horizon]

sorry james workshop I dont have a nanometer thin plier

[vagrant fox]

also that Hitler wasn't French

[near wasp]

They decriminalized all drugs

[urban spire]

that's a good thing

Seeing the talk of De Gaulle reminds me of someone's reaction to this: https://vxtwitter.com/crystalbepis_/status/2035694949828637148

el 🌌 (@crystalbepis_)

inshallah iran will make it real

QRT: _HenryBolton
In case your’e wondering, the UK-has:
- no exo-atmospheric Anti-Ballistic Missile interceptor system
- No layered missile defence architecture
- No integrated national system protecting our cities or infrastructure.

Our best system is the T45 Destroyer with the Astor/Viper. But it’s primarily a fleet protection asset.

The fact is that we and Europe depend heavily on US detection, US interceptor missiles and platforms, and US command architecture.

The harsh reality is that capabilities amongst European states, incl. the UK, are very limited and patchy indeed.

[urban spire]

i hate the way AI has gotten into my brain, i see bad photoshops from like 2004 and my brain reaches for AI before image editing

[near wasp]

My buddy gets accused of being AI but I've literally watched him draw the entire image before.

[jade holly]

What you’re saying is the UK is free real estate?

[solid horizon]

imagine fucking up sprues so badly that you have to violently pull the parts with your fingers to cut them from it

[urban spire]

yeah you gotta upload a speed recording of yourself drawing shit now of days or you get hit with the accusation

i try to believe artists unless i see proof in the other direction though

[jade holly]

I hate how the internet loves guilty until proven innocent

[nocturne crest]

Sure. Also, RIP in GW.

[jade holly]

Can’t just make art, gotta prove it’s not AI

[nocturne crest]

I think they're in the firing line.

[jade holly]

GW? I’m too American brained to know this one

[urban spire]

easy for me though, most the artists i follow are trans, and trans people are overwhelmingly socialist scum 💖

[raven stone]

So remember the Adepticon teaser

https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k/mordian-iron-guard-adepticon-teaser

Real smooth, James

Real smooth

[urban spire]

huh?

what the fuck lmao

[jade holly]

Steel Legion? Nah, Mordians

[solid horizon]

Seriously james what the fuck is this sprue mapping

[gleaming gale]

Gardes is not even a real word smh

[vagrant fox]

something something don't like trans not because they're trans but because they're the wrong kind of socialist workshop it for me but don't make it too edgy

[arctic talon]

Wrong type of socialism

The type I like is correct

[jade holly]

Why be right when you can be acute or obtuse

[urban spire]

well most of us are communist which is kind of a shame, but whatever, better than capitalist

[vagrant fox]

Only my niche interpretation of socialist praxis is correct

[urban spire]

i realize post-leftist anarchist is kinda niche

[vagrant fox]

I'll take Mordians, they're cool

[urban spire]

but i'd rather have the kinda mediocre state capitalism of a failed communist revolution than the world obliterating plutocracy of america

[rancid cove]

I finally did it... I've reached the gates of hell! I can escape!

The humble Cerberus:

[arctic talon]

Tbf

[gleaming gale]

Have you just considered being european

[arctic talon]

State capitalism will do the second as well

[vagrant fox]

I don't even have any real idea what I believe in anymore I just don't want politicians to be allowed to have big capstone projects for their careers

[rancid cove]

Ew

[urban spire]

i AM european

[arctic talon]

Just give it a moment

lol

[jade holly]

I would never wish that upon my enemies

[solid horizon]

brother I am european too

[jade holly]

My condolences

[vagrant fox]

We're all European here

[rancid cove]

I would
My enemies deserve it

[solid horizon]

yeah I know

[urban spire]

state capitalism needs a few decades to degrade back into the regular kind, that's more time for building mutual aid groups

and other kinds of group that do other, aid adjacent things

[arctic talon]

Well China’s basically already there lol

Just with some safety nets

[solid horizon]

it's really bad but at least we're not ameritards

[arctic talon]

[urban spire]

yeah and once those degrade we're back to square one

[urban spire]

because capital is corrosive

[jade holly]

Does Australia count as European?

[gleaming gale]

They compete in Eurovision so I guess

[vagrant fox]

what's happening in china

[arctic talon]

A good time

[vagrant fox]

Australia is England-America lite hybrid

this is wisdom

[solid horizon]

god I hate james workshop for the immortal/deathmark kit

[arctic talon]

Do you know know the horrendous lonely person streamer cycle in Japan/China/Korea/Taiwan lol

[jade holly]

Australia is if Texas and Florida did the fusion dance

[urban spire]

i'm not blackpilled though, i live in hope

[solid horizon]

WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE ONE MORBILLION DIFFERENT ARMS AND TORSO REARS

[arctic talon]

It’s really funny

[urban spire]

hard to see how things will get better, but i'm not gonna assume it never will

[solid horizon]

IS IT THAT HARD TO GIVE US FIVE MORE LEGS AND TORSO FRONT?

[arctic talon]

Yes

[jade holly]

I view it as these dinosaurs are in their twilight years and I’m not

[vagrant fox]

The kind that engages in girlfriend experience or

[urban spire]

idk man you got into 40k tabletop

[jade holly]

[urban spire]

this is self inflicted

[solid horizon]

any necron fella here to share my pain ?

[gleaming gale]

Have you seen the Leman Russ kit, you get a whole entire extra tank except for the tracks, sponsons and hull gun

[arctic talon]

No just literal normal streamers that prey on lonely people

[jade holly]

I don’t have the Deathmark/Immortal box yet

[vagrant fox]

Sounds like gfe to me

[arctic talon]

lol

[jade holly]

Also Elite I caved

I used that site

the Warhammer site

Of Warhammer

[nocturne crest]

I've just realised, but could James Workshop make a Warhammer just dance game?

[vagrant fox]

yes

[urban spire]

he wants a leman russ with nuthin!

[solid horizon]

basically you have enough to make 5 immortals and (in theory) 5 deathmarks, but james is too greedy so he doesn't give you 5 legs and torso fronts which is enough to make 5 more dudes

[gleaming gale]

The Agri-World pattern tractor

[nocturne crest]

He wants the bunker Leman Russ.

[vagrant fox]

I oughta install some 3D program and try to make my own warhams tanks

[jade holly]

So you can’t make all 10?

[solid horizon]

I end up with one morbillion deathmark parts that I'm never going to use

[solid horizon]

no, and all that's stopping you is a front torso piece and legs

that's all

[gleaming gale]

Just build them ass up on the terrain

[urban spire]

https://www.twitch.tv/shrimps247 here's the only stream you'll ever need

[jade holly]

Wait you can’t even build 10 immortals??

[arctic talon]

Anyways

Lonely person works food deliver job -> watch streamer -> streamer asks for recommendation on food delivery/restaurant -> lonely person recommends the one they use via donation-> streamer uses it(repeat)

(The cycle)

[rose thorn]

bets on today's new model

[solid horizon]

no, it's 5 immortals per kit

[arctic talon]

It’s a 5 man box

lol

[urban spire]

the name? shrimps247. what is it? shrimps 24/7

[jade holly]

Oh nvm

[solid horizon]

5 immortals or 5 deathmarks, 2 guns options for immortals

[arctic talon]

GW intentionally rarely gives extra bodies

[rose thorn]

i bet the new model is a space marine

[solid horizon]

you end up with 10 spare arm bits

[gleaming gale]

Bike Lieutenant

[rose thorn]

do they do like, adepticon exclusive models?

[arctic talon]

It’s good basing material

[vagrant fox]

That's funny, Asia never ceases to astound me

[arctic talon]

Celebration models

[gleaming gale]

yeah, some Age of Ligma grunt and a cadian officer

[arctic talon]

As for what it is

Who the fuck knows

[solid horizon]

idk I wouldnt like having corpses of my own faction lying on my ground

[arctic talon]

Sugmar dick

[jade holly]

What it be a Steel Legion commander

[solid horizon]

it implies I really suck which is more or less quite accurate

[gleaming gale]

GW will reveal Steel Legion on april first, trust

[urban spire]

BY THE HAMMER AND THE EMPEROR I ABJURE THEE

[solid horizon]

my brother has decor casts so I will give him all the spare necron bullshit and sprues to melt them and turn them into hive city walls

[urban spire]

i should play more vermintide

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if the Admech would turn a baneblade into something like this.

[arctic talon]

Saltzpyre would call Kerellian one of the good wood elves

[gleaming gale]

Something something Hogger's bridge

[arctic talon]

Also I still find it hilarious his name is fucking Saltzpyre

[urban spire]

come ON

[solid horizon]

fortifications are REALLY useful in tabletop, too bad james workshop doesnt sell them, or when he does it's for a bankrupting price

[arctic talon]

She’s a wood elf and therefore prone to doing weird shit

[urban spire]

a thing that vibrates could be ANYTHING

[arctic talon]

Unlike high elves who are normal

[jade holly]

No they’re clearly high smh

[arctic talon]

Wood elves are basically halfway there to being horrifying fey creatures

[gleaming gale]

yeah

the high elves are worse

they're british

[urban spire]

high elves merely fuck dragons

[arctic talon]

LOL

[jade holly]

Most based group of Elves in fantasy are the Dwemer

[urban spire]

no i think i've kinda soured on TES

i can kinda see the outline of this joke

they're based because they wiped themselves out or something, right?

but nah you gotta hear about them constantly

and you're spending like 40% of your life in their ruins

[gleaming gale]

By Azura I'm chiming

[nocturne crest]

If Vulkans ever returns to 40k, do you think he'll bring Saturnine armour with him?

[urban spire]

isn't he a perpetual

[gleaming gale]

He will return with a Nocturne campaign book where only the Ultramarines defend the planet

The Salamanders were depleted or something

[jade holly]

https://tenor.com/view/by-the-nine-im-tweakin-elder-scrolls-skyrim-gif-25519944

[urban spire]

you know if i had to pick a chapter it'd prob be the salamanders for (almost) being the most normal space marines

[jade holly]

I’d pick Iron Hands because being a robot sounds fun until it’s not

I yearn to chop away perfectly good parts of me to replace with bionics that’ll fail

[urban spire]

iron hands aren't robots they're rotten eggs

estrogen would wipe out their chapter

[solid horizon]

iron hands are iron warriors but from wish

[rancid cove]

The Iron Hands are probably the most stupid of the fist chapters

"Yeah we were transformed into transhuman machines that are basically living tanks in tons of power armor, but we just replaced all of that with mechanical stuff lol"

[gleaming gale]

Meet potential chapter!

[urban spire]

literally a super common thing to go through before you realize you can just be a woman

you try to make yourself an unfeeling machine so you don't have to deal with the pain

i am fucking armchair psychologizing this entire chapter of space marines yes, you can't stop me

[gleaming gale]

"They call me 007, 0 relevance, 0 fans, 7 sentences of lore total"

[solid horizon]

HOLY SHIT I CAN MAKE ONE ADDITIONAL DEATHMARK

I just lack one pair of legs

[gleaming gale]

Iron Hands fans are a myth and you can't convince me otherwise

[rancid cove]

They're at my "probably hate it" list of 40k factions

[urban spire]

anyway look at this shit

amino-porridge? carboloaf?

[solid horizon]

lol

bri'ish

[urban spire]

nah i don't trust anyone whose diet is gel and roadkill

but salamanders at least occasionally sit down for a meal with the extended family

[solid horizon]

does ad mech eat

[rancid cove]

You're european that used to be your dinner 50 years back

[gleaming gale]

Wait until you hear where the Harbingers recruit from

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if they recycle the geneseed.

[gleaming gale]

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

[urban spire]

no it was 80 years ago and my grandparents would have KILLED to eat roadkill, they ate bread made of milled tree bark

world war 2 was rough on norway

[nocturne crest]

Like, once they reach a point of being more man than machine.

[rancid cove]

Then dont diss on your elders

[urban spire]

they're not my elders they're space marines who eat goop

they literally eat baby food

and then shit themselves in their power diapers

no respect for space marines

[rancid cove]

If they end up replacing that part of their body, probably
But uh removing those usually kills the marine

[gleaming gale]

Trump is a space marine?

[urban spire]

i don't believe he wears a diaper i think he just shits himself and forces someone to clean up

i've seen that fucking video

[hallow plover]

What video 👀

[urban spire]

the video of trump shitting himself mid-meeting

[hallow plover]

How did I miss that

[urban spire]

i'm not going to look that up for you

ANYWAY

the adeptus mechanicus are superior to the space marines in every way

[nocturne crest]

Huh. I'm pretty sure the new Iron Hands character was just a machine with one human eye.

[urban spire]

i have scrutinized space marine lore in order to more efficiently slander

[jade holly]

You can’t slander the Necrons

We’re playing on easy mode

[urban spire]

i don't want to, i fully support the necrons

i support trans wrongs

[solid horizon]

me when I'm in a slowness competition but my opponent is a necron

[jade holly]

Hypercrypt

Monolith

[solid horizon]

hypercrypt does nothing to that 5" mvt

[urban spire]

i want mechanicus 2 so bad

[solid horizon]

you know who else is that slow ?

the death guard fatasses

necrons used to have really bad initiative despite better ballistic skills

[jade holly]

When is it releasing?

[fervent geode]

Good luck killing us with our resilience

[solid horizon]

yeah I know unfortunately

[jade holly]

Laughs in 3 DDAs targeting the same unit

[urban spire]

i don't know

[solid horizon]

nah you dont get it

[fervent geode]

Chances are it’s not yet dead

[solid horizon]

deathguard is really that bad

if you got nurgle beasts against you

it's over for you

[urban spire]

great, that really narrows it down

[fervent geode]

Unless you attacked poxwalkers or something

[solid horizon]

I say this as a former necron player

well I still play necrons but only during apocalypses

they're my reserve infantryslop force

also grimm whaddaya think of the triarch stalker I'm rehashing

(it's not complete)

[urban spire]

cute

[urban spire]

uncircumcized

[gleaming gale]

Hey it's Leto Atreides

[jade holly]

Giving me Daemon engine vibes

[solid horizon]

to be exact it's the same concept as a helbrute

[urban spire]

more of a grower than a shower

[solid horizon]

someone savagely shoved into a metal monster that eventually turns into flesh

[winged jacinth]

Triglyceride gel bro that's butter
They are eating sticks of butter on the battle barge

[urban spire]

lol

[solid horizon]

true wealth of the imperium

eating ingots of butter like it's bread

[urban spire]

they don't have cows, what are they milking for butter

[solid horizon]

hmm

[gleaming gale]

Groxes

[solid horizon]

squigs ?

[vagrant fox]

horses

[urban spire]

smearing triglyceride gel on my toasted carboloaf

grox is a lizard come onnn

[hallow plover]

Arent groxes reptiles ?

[solid horizon]

do chaos space marines eat that authentic daemonculaba milk butter ?

[winged jacinth]

You hear about grox eggs
I don't remember hearing about milk in 40k actually

[vagrant fox]

Triglyceride is the main part of fat in human bodies anyways, they're just eating fat

[winged jacinth]

You could make trigylcerol gel directly out of grox fat though yeah

[gleaming gale]

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

[fervent geode]

The Iron Within is maintained by healthy bones

Got that good calcium

[urban spire]

dripping grox fat on my carboloaf sounds marginally more appetizing

[solid horizon]

so basically

[winged jacinth]

Triglycerols include triacylgycerol and phospholipids which is most of the lipid mass in an organism

[solid horizon]

space marine's diet consists in cheese/butter on a toast

but fancy words

[gleaming gale]

At least they're not eating beans on toast

[winged jacinth]

I mean clearly they're extracting the cholesterol and sphingomyelin for something else

[vagrant fox]

Nothing wrong with beans on toast

[urban spire]

it's kinda messy

[winged jacinth]

The alarming thing about beans on toast is how watery the food gore iterations of it get

[hallow plover]

Nothing is off limits for breakfast

[winged jacinth]

No reason for actually prepared beans on toast to be horrifying

[vagrant fox]

I've always eaten it with a plate so it's fine even if it gets messy

[urban spire]

beans on toast on its own feels kinda bad imo, but if it's fried bread instead, and part of a full english with some sosig and eggs? now we're cooking

[winged jacinth]

The pictures of beans on toast are like a cold can of heinz beans in sauce

[urban spire]

yeah it's that but you heat the beans up if you're fancy

[winged jacinth]

I think you gotta to make it less wet

[urban spire]

it's knife and fork food

[vagrant fox]

as an aside, not relevant to anything, but Týr has fallen off

You gotta heat up the beans it's better

[urban spire]

your hands will find no gainful employment in eating a full english breakfast

[rancid cove]

I'm not knowledgeable on Iron Hands lore because I find them boring

[urban spire]

oh, well, they're hereteks

like all space marines

but iron hands are especially bad

[rancid cove]

Cool aesthetics, but boring

Them and Thousand Sons are probably my least liked space marine chapter

[vagrant fox]

You put the Salamanders at the bottom where they belong

way down at the bottom of the tier list

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if the Orks would fit in the world of Redline.

[winged jacinth]

We have iron hands imperial fists and iron fists which implies one of the lost legions was the imperial hands

[rancid cove]

I dislike Salamanders cause I prefer the asshole interpretation of space marines instead of "yeah we are very noble and we like normal humans!!!"

[queen laurel]

running out of games to play

CINLESS, how good is Dragon Age

[urban spire]

bad

[vagrant fox]

Dated

[rancid cove]

Imperial Fists I like em in concept but their color scheme fucking sucks

[urban spire]

sorry

i mean

there's stuff there

you can enjoy it

but it's dated

[queen laurel]

i see

[urban spire]

hit up pillars or uh

divinity 2

[winged jacinth]

Its funny that salamanders still burn out hab blocks and stuff

[urban spire]

if you want that kinda game

i assume you've already done bg3

[queen laurel]

yes i've kind of already committed multiple barbarian playthroughs

[winged jacinth]

Play underrail for a crpg

[urban spire]

then yeah, divinity 2 or pillars 1 and 2

[vagrant fox]

Divinity Original Sin 2 kicked my ass so bad so often

[urban spire]

didn't the underrail guys turn out to be nazis or something? i don't remember

[rancid cove]

Salamanders would be cooler if they acted more like assholes

[winged jacinth]

I don't think so

I think i would have heard if the underrail guys were nazis

[queen laurel]

is the full name pillars of eternity?

[rose thorn]

Decided to check on that chainsword guy

[rancid cove]

Iron Hands, Salamanders and Thousand Sons are on my list of boring legions

[urban spire]

yeah

the lead writer on pillars was kinda a dipshit but i believe they ditched his ass for pillars 2, and they didn't leave too much of a stink on it

there's also uh, the other owlbear games

owlcat rather

[rancid cove]

Raven Guard also kinda on there but they're carried by their thematics and the mk 6 helmet for me

[winged jacinth]

Bad idea for a sculpt lol

[fervent geode]

Raven Guard do terrorism lol

He’s won’t shut up about being a son of Corax so neither will I

Reminder chainsword is thi guy

[urban spire]

no they had that black isle dipshit on the first one i think, might not have been lead writer on reflection, i forget his name

[winged jacinth]

Wotr is good
They patched half my broken builds on my completed save lmao

[fervent geode]

Yes because they are ass

[urban spire]

the guy who insists on putting sexual assault in everything he makes

[rancid cove]

[storm jungle]

What a fucking racist prick

[vagrant fox]

Valid, I was just wondering if it was Josh Sawyer

[storm jungle]

lmao

[fervent geode]

We do better bioterrorism

[fervent geode]

Idiot lol

[winged jacinth]

Why wouldn't there be bronze eldar cant they be any color lol

[vagrant fox]

Artemax is very cool

[storm jungle]

I love the like

We cant apply our own biology to eldar
Literally applies our own biology to eldar

[rancid cove]

Dusk Raiders were the early iteration of Death Guard, right?

[fervent geode]

Indeed, more Astartes Terrorism please

[fervent geode]

Yeah the beta test

[urban spire]

jsawyer is still fine afaik

[fervent geode]

It was cool but we got more based

[rancid cove]

Too bad your primarch is a redditor

Hope you recover

[fervent geode]

He won’t smell like ass again one day 🙏

[winged jacinth]

Believe it or not there isnt an evolutionary process that gives you blue skin

[vagrant fox]

Oh was it Chris Avellone, he worked as a narrative designer

[urban spire]

CHRIS AVELLONE

yeah

him

[vagrant fox]

Yeah he's a pos

[rancid cove]

Hasn't he like, smelled like ass since day one? Nurgle just made it worse

[urban spire]

you can very clearly tell which character avellone is responsible for in pillars 1

[vagrant fox]

I love Kreia but Avellone is such a dickhead

[fervent geode]

I could’ve sworn he was odourless in Verdict of the Scythe and Lantern’s Light

Then again he was smelling poison like perfume on the regular so

[urban spire]

fucking caesar ass character shows up like "i'm a normal man who can be trusted with your party"

[fervent geode]

But if he smelled ass they wouldn’t have invited to him to a party

[rancid cove]

[vagrant fox]

true facts all the primarchs just smelled like fetid ass that's the aura they gave off that made people speechless

[rancid cove]

Lmao

[fervent geode]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-truth-true-soyjak-wojak-gif-14828627546768133163

[rancid cove]

I always interpreted him having a bad smell cause he landed on a shitty planet plus he always had the "stinky" look

Bro looks like an advanced decomposing body

[fervent geode]

Barbarus had poisonous air but surprisingly I don’t recall any mention of the air actually being pungent

Although he did land in a battlefield full of decomposing corpses so he was definitely a smelly baby

[vagrant fox]

Not that I can recall for Mortarion or Barbarus, something pings as Kurze smelling rancid but I don't wanna check

[fervent geode]

I think it was in his Primarch book or prince of crows or literally any other book he was skinning people and fucking around with human flesh

So he defo did imo

[rancid cove]

Well Curze was a mentally ill incel

So it checks out

[fervent geode]

Yes

[rancid cove]

As a legion, love me Night Lords
But primarch? Fuck Curze lmao

Perty and Sangy >>>

[fervent geode]

Mortarion truth aside, literally anyone besides Curze and Angron is better

[vagrant fox]

listen, the tier list goes as follows
Sanguinius
Angron
The rest of the lot

[rancid cove]

He wasted hours skinning people and sitting in an entire tower made of human flesh, the only source of water around him was his saliva and sweat

Bro smelled like putrid ass

[rancid cove]

What are we ranking here

[vagrant fox]

The correct take

[rancid cove]

Sanguinius
Perturabo
Lion
Everyone else

[solid horizon]

perturabo, lorgar, alpharius

[fervent geode]

Blud was the shit smeller of the gang

Anyways

[rancid cove]

I can kinda see Lorgar but Alpharius?

[fervent geode]

Mortarion, Guilliman, Lorgar, the rest, Curze

[rancid cove]

At that point him and daemon primarch Mortarion smelled the same

[fervent geode]

Normal Mortarion next to Curze

(He smells more ass than all the poisons)

[rancid cove]

Behold, rules

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if anyone has made a guardsmen army based on maddie

[storm jungle]

Maddie?

from Arcane?

[hallow saddle]

just bought this months white dwarf after i was flicking through it in the shop and saw that harvey snape's awesome lugganath & sunblitz brotherhood corsairs are featured this month 🔥 🔥 🔥

[nocturne crest]

Yes

[storm jungle]

[languid meadow]

She's cop

if you want cops

play arbities

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[nocturne crest]

I thought she was Paramilitary

[celest dome]

Same thing same thing

[solid horizon]

op stuff

too bad im not getting it

[languid meadow]

She's a part of the enforcers which are piltovers police/military

[nocturne crest]

Don't Arbites only come in one colour scheme?

[languid meadow]

pretty sure now one will care if you paint them blue and gold

[storm jungle]

or green and black

and give them full-cover masks

no need to ask for warrants that way

[jade holly]

Does that mean we’re being set up for IW as the next preorder after this set?

[nocturne crest]

Purple, gold and some animal print sounds prefect for arbites.

[rose thorn]

i think it can change dependant on like, what their long term job is

i heard of an inquisitor having his perosnal arbtiies different color

but that might be inquisitor posting

[heady rivet]

The Arbites as a brand is basically one thing

[rose thorn]

apparently int he chudius cain books there are green and pruple arbities but i cant soruce it

trust reddit ahh source

[gleaming gale]

Iirc it may be a Dark Heresy blurb that on one planet the enforcers adopted red and black in respect for the Arbites and the Arbites were fucking livid and changed to silver

[rose thorn]

lmao

i dont even know if arbtiies are perma deployed on specific planets

[gleaming gale]

They usually have a precinct or two on those of note to keep an eye on the government to pay the tithe

[rose thorn]

thats waht i thought but i wasnt sure since someplanets have their own nobility cops like necormunda

[heady rivet]

Most planets are like, a single Arbites in an advisory role. Hives and other planets of note or importance usually have a single precinct

[gleaming gale]

And the precinct is so fortified it's a last stand bastion in case the rest of the hive gets overrun by the enemy

[heady rivet]

Different fields of authority. Arbites is the FBI agent, Enforcers are the local cops

[rose thorn]

tehre is the new arbities with the judge hats lol

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-dog-hug-dog-question-mark-dog-question-mark-gif-14144426802562365039

[arctic talon]

Those are enforcers

The Munda ones

[heady rivet]

Yeah I thought thats what she meant lole

But I dont follow Arbites news so I had to check

[heady rivet]

I even own that kit!

[gleaming gale]

Kinda funny they don't show up after Helmawr got slimed, it's literally their field to investigate that

[rose thorn]

the blue ones?

the blue enforcers i mean

[heady rivet]

Its a grey area but technically the tithe was being paid at the time so eh

[rose thorn]

i forgot what htey are called

[heady rivet]

Palanite Enforcers?

[rose thorn]

yeah the new ones with the judge wigs

[heady rivet]

Justicars!

[lament shoal]

He did? When in the story did that happen?

[gleaming gale]

It's a too high profile case to let the enforcers handle it, they DO intervene in such affairs if they feel it may threaten the run of the mill

[rose thorn]

YEAH JUSTICARS

[heady rivet]

Ah he got better

[rose thorn]

tthey werent under enforcers on teh store page wierd

[heady rivet]

SOVL

[lament shoal]

Wait are we talking about munda lol

[rose thorn]

yes

[heady rivet]

Technically they're hanger-ons

[lament shoal]

Oh my dumbass thought we were on dt lore lol

[heady rivet]

Anyone allied with them can take it

[rose thorn]

i thought you could take them as your main force in enforcers my bad

and everyone else can hanger on them

[gleaming gale]

Aren't these guys like magistrate bodyguards instead of full law enforcement

[heady rivet]

They're the special cops for handling nobility, rogue heirs, etc. But yeah they also aura farm over the shoulder of anyone important

[rose thorn]

ahhh

[heady rivet]

FWIW the enforcers dont have to test the alliance the first time they test it

[rose thorn]

lmao

[gleaming gale]

"Eh, an immortal vampire took over the government but he paid the bills, checks out"

[heady rivet]

At first, literally yes. It was a combo of going full heretic + the Imperial Fists being pretty cool with Helmawr

[heady rivet]

By which I mean the Imperial Fists decided to give Helmawr some time to win back his throne before they murderized the entire planet

[rose thorn]

its literally the other way around lmao, plus guard got a major release this edition

[civic gale]

Damn

[rose thorn]

guard fans wanna be subjegated so badly

[gleaming gale]

Steel Legion players didn't consider they could just... not beg GW to give them money and get better miniatures instead from somewhere else instead of converting Kr*eg

[rose thorn]

i dont get what peoples porblem with repainting krieg is besides avalibility issues

hell repaint cadians

people were already doing it

[rose thorn]

this annoys me even more, "a subfaction is more of a victim than an entire faction who has the oldest models in the game"

[gleaming gale]

I'll be long beneath the cold ground before I sully the Steel Legion by painting kringe yellow, but yeah, big company fucks up your beloved stuff? Vote with your money and get your stuff from elsewhere, simple

99% of the players don't play official tournaments to be mandatory to have GW plastic anyway

[rose thorn]

i dont know if thats true

[rose thorn]

what models do you own anyhow?

[rocky gale]

Most players aren't playing in tournaments

[rose thorn]

yeah

[gleaming gale]

In general or guard

[rocky gale]

You just disagreed with someone else saying that

[heady rivet]

I hope the Steel Legion KT comes put and still flops anyway because 90+% of the whiners will admit they dont even own minis when pressed.

I said it before but I can see Killteams being the way to test the water for range refreshes for the Guard. See: Krieg

[rose thorn]

i read it as 99% of poeple who play tornuments dont play ones that require gw plastic

[heady rivet]

I dont want peace. I want problems, always

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[rose thorn]

in general

[rocky gale]

My friend is foaming at the mouth for Steel Legion, he's ready to sell everything else just to go solely Steel Legion

[rose thorn]

lmao

the krieg christmas box is still outthere i see one at my lsg

[rocky gale]

It was just Lumineth before, but now he's willing to sell his Votann

[heady rivet]

Krieg got a Killteam out of memes, it sold amazingly well, and then sure enough they got a range refresh. If the next Guard killteam can meet that sale number we can expect something similar

[rocky gale]

HIS VOTANN!!!

I am aware

[rose thorn]

we cant lose naother xenos player

[gleaming gale]

Several kill teams, a couple of squads of marines, ~1k points of guard (mostly tanks), ~1k of orks and some fantasy empire and bretonnia boxes that need opening

GW botched the PR for steel legion? I just bought a squad of 3d printed ones

simple

[rose thorn]

nah, I'm still bitter from when they nuked Fantasy for it

[heady rivet]

Missing something.

[rose thorn]

aos didnt do anything dog

that was because no one bought fantasy models

[gleaming gale]

I don't like the new setting lol

[rose thorn]

have you looked at the models?

[rocky gale]

She knows better than to try and "how many models you got" check me

[rose thorn]

i know better then to pocket check a league fan

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, aesthetics fall into the setting, the models are too flashy and busy and don't feel warhammer to me, but that's personal taste

[heady rivet]

They're gonna make a blog post that suddenly ends with

||"The Steel Legion will return in...Necromunda!"||

[gleaming gale]

Helmawr comes to reclaim his throne with the Steel Legion confirmed

[rose thorn]

and bretonnia isnt?

[gleaming gale]

I don't like the new knights either lol

[rose thorn]

i hightly suggest looking again, we have so many vibes and our army rules and models are great

[surreal nest]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-hand-back-away-dog-leave-disgusted-gif-15798798190133447846

AoS is more warhammer than 40k and that is not subjective

[rose thorn]

Lmao

[gleaming gale]

Whatever makes you happy man

[raven stone]

I will be honest and say whilst I am not concerned with AoS minis mostly

In terms of colour palette, GW has brightened the usually used palettes

Losing some of its distinct identity art wise

[heady rivet]

"We"
Cult-like behavior smh.

Anyway Necromunda loves you, Ceapple. We all love you here.

[raven stone]

Shhh someone rich enough probably has done a conversion...

[rose thorn]

"man i hate fighting gargants, but i will never speak poorly of a gargant player"

[surreal nest]

Who looks at the commercially painted ads for miniatures and judges the art style of the miniature from there

[gleaming gale]

A gargant player is already poor from getting one

[surreal nest]

'Eavy metal should burn

[raven stone]

I mean, it's a minor thing in the grand scheme of things

But still present

[gleaming gale]

'Eavy metal and painting faces

[rose thorn]

RAGHH GVIE ME UNDERWROLDS OR GIVE ME DEATH GW

[surreal nest]

You shouldnt base anything off the box art, its purely designed to make the models pop out and want to make you buy them

But yeah, in regards of GW butchering lore, people forgot the golden rule that was always encouraged

Your own stories > GW's shit

[rose thorn]

what is the lore issue?

i haven read nay new 40k lroe

so i actually don tknow if there is a new issue

the last bad lore issue ive seen is the abandomemnt of ynnari

[gleaming gale]

They concocted some quick lore blurb to deflect bad PR (and made it worse) that the Steel Legion suddenly ran out of manpower out of the hives that house billions of people to be represented, but the purple eyed hobos and gas masked faceless teenagers brought from offworld are numerous enough

[hallow plover]

How so?

[rose thorn]

as in they dropped ynnari after giving them liek 3 mid books

[hallow plover]

That's a classic GW thing

[rose thorn]

lmao yeah

they also introduced my least favorite still canon lore

[hallow plover]

(I do feel bad for eldar fans)

[rose thorn]

GSC eldar

[gleaming gale]

What

[rose thorn]

GSC Eldar was introduced and whipped out in a ynnair book

[gleaming gale]

💀

[hallow plover]

Genestealer ||next class confirmed||

[gleaming gale]

Before or after Admech?

[rose thorn]

and its genuine the worst most homebrew ass lore ive ever read

[hallow plover]

Tough... after.

Dual eldar and gsc class release

[rose thorn]

"they infected their avatar of khaine with the genestealer virus, which gives their craft world immunity to slaanesh and boosted their psychic power so they are basically inviisble and then got whipped out by like 4 guys"

[gleaming gale]

What the fuck

of course it's Gav Thorpe

[rose thorn]

LMAO

yeah

[hallow plover]

Even if it's gav thorpe... doesn't GW veto any lore decision?

[rose thorn]

for every luther we get 10 wolf times

[rose thorn]

yeah but they have to specifically call it out in a codex or rewrite all their lore in a book

[gleaming gale]

Any self respecting company should have a 'lore bible' to compare shit to and draw from and someone to oversee the novels... but they don't

[rose thorn]

the only way to fix ynnari lore is to make new ynnari books

[gleaming gale]

But they were so quick to retcon Dark Imperium and pull a reprint when the first runs mentioned it's M42

[rose thorn]

oh yeah they do that for successful books

[gleaming gale]

"IT'S STILL 999.M41, CALENDAR GOT FUCKED, DON'T QUESTION IT"

[rose thorn]

its why dark impieurm is one of the best start books for warhammer fans

[gleaming gale]

https://tenor.com/view/the-good-doctor-shaun-murphy-freddie-highmore-i-am-a-surgeon-surgeon-gif-10294805566573567111

[rose thorn]

that is a veyr good reason lmao

[hallow plover]

Yea but it's not a major issue

Or maybe I don't get the issue

[gleaming gale]

Funny because they now want you to read Dawn of Fire before Dark Imperium

[rose thorn]

GSC use to be like really really bad but they fixed it all in their release in 7th/8th

[gleaming gale]

even though Dark Imperium is like 75% an ad for primaris

[rose thorn]

well they did remove all teh ads lol

mos to fhtem

like 3 chapters were replaced

[hallow plover]

I liked dark imperium because it's one of the few death guard books

[rose thorn]

i like gulliman!!

[hallow plover]

The novamarines povs was clearly primaris shilling

[rose thorn]

man i wanna make thi sguy into a stormcast so bad

[gleaming gale]

Kinda funny that when the Tau fans nearly recover from bad fluff they get hit with another Phil Kelly novel

[heady rivet]

Its canon now the Tau get mpreg and the women are just accessory and not needed for the species

Crazy

[gleaming gale]

Chad Lexicanum still moved into M42 for event dates

[crystal forum]

dont know why GW even cares so much when barely anything follows established chronology in the setting

[gleaming gale]

I really had to sit down and learn how the pre-Cadia calendar worked out for an authentic experience TTRPG GM prep only for them to throw it out the window

[crystal forum]

pre cadia and post cadia are the only things that matter these days i feel

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, before Cadia events were mostly dated down to the last fraction of the calendar

[crystal forum]

badab wars, when were they? doesn't matter, pre cadia

[gleaming gale]

Nowdays it's just '50 years after Cadia. When that happened? I don't fucking know'

[crystal forum]

would be fun to see how the imperium changed after the scouring but meh

the shift from 30k to 40k will always feel abrupt

[gleaming gale]

Good thing they're totally not gonna do another 60 books series to try to explain it

[crystal forum]

i get the feeling that the books will only focus on the primarchs and some HH characters

For better or worse I think they're the selling point of them

for sure now that primarchs are coming back to 40k

Also more importantly.

I better be able to use an MG-42 and a Gewehr 98 against them

Very important

[heady rivet]

Audience

[solid horizon]

man in the high castle ahh game

[opaque coyote]

Oh yeah also all I gotta say is

"Humans are the only living things to do war on Earth"

Meanwhile Ants: https://youtube.com/shorts/kdOEzGfraiA?si=d4rY5zavq-c0Lie-

[gleaming gale]

We are currently living during a global ant world war

[urban spire]

apparently monkeys do war sometimes

or maybe apes, idr

[wintry cloud]

Did u guys see the aos rumors

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, chimps

[vagrant fox]

Yes, Jane Goodall wasn't happy about it

[urban spire]

oh chimps, ok

anyway the way we do war now of days isn't natural to how humans do war

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it's fucking wild

[wintry cloud]

https://youtu.be/ifEMel3LIUc?si=lO4ElQrKuKx2x0bY

[opaque coyote]

Ants generally make our war mongering

[urban spire]

we've obviously been doing war since before recorded history, but with fuckall fatalities until relatively recently

[opaque coyote]

Look like a bunch of kids playing with legos

Ants basically are possessed by Khorne on god

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, there's an invasive species that propped up super colonies and the locals bundled up against them in total war

[urban spire]

the natural way for humans to do war is both sides show up, wave their weapons around and shout a lot, maybe a little light skirmishing until one side loses their nerve and fucks off

[opaque coyote]

Ants are also way more racist

[opaque coyote]

It's because we value our lives. Nobody actually wants to shoot each other than die

[urban spire]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

Even in WW1, 90% of it was basically just

Occasional skirmishes

[urban spire]

most of the deaths were to conditions and artillery

[gleaming gale]

That's why most ww1 deaths were from artillery

Can't feel remorse if you blow the guy up without seeing him

[opaque coyote]

Also fun fact. Barbed Wire originally was placed for uh

Calvary

[urban spire]

humans just don't want to kill humans, it doesn't come natural unless you're already pretty fucked up

[opaque coyote]

In the early years they dead ass only had like one line of barbed wire

[rocky gale]

"I don't like the lore of AoS" bro likes Imperial Fists

[opaque coyote]

And I remember a picture of like

An engineer standing proud in front of his

One line barbed wire

And my first thought was

[urban spire]

i mean, would stop a horse yeah

[opaque coyote]

"Bro standing there like Calvary won't become severely outdated with 1 month."

[gleaming gale]

Cavalry* 🤓

[opaque coyote]

Tbf we have hindsight

[urban spire]

clevarary

[opaque coyote]

Fuck

[vagrant fox]

cleavage?

[opaque coyote]

I keep thinking it's Calvary due to how it's pronounced usually

But I know it means something different

But I keep spelling it like that because my mind thinks that it makes sense

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, Calvary is where Jesus was crucified

[urban spire]

a lot of people say calvary

[vagrant fox]

When I worked in archaeology good old Torben was researching Southeast Asian-Papua area tribal warfare from recent history and told me he figured ancient tribal warfare in Europe wasn't so different in many ways
Mostly to first blood not so much death

[urban spire]

some light linguistic corruption, we let it pass

[opaque coyote]

But yeah that was the logic

However with hindsight

It's pretty funny

And sad

Nobody knew what they were getting into for WW1

Not really

[urban spire]

i thought world war 1 was kinda cool until i read all quiet on the western front

[vagrant fox]

also cavalry was used until the 1930s it was fine

[urban spire]

and also i thought it was kinda cool after reading all quiet also

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it is still "cool".

But as like...

Fiction

[gleaming gale]

even the 40s

[urban spire]

but my perspective changed a bit

[opaque coyote]

It stops becoming cool when you realize

That it's real

And that it actually happened

[vagrant fox]

It's more by the 30s mechanised infantry was really starting to take over the functions of cavalry

[urban spire]

it's the way i reckon with being a guns and military planes appreciator

[sacred ginkgo]

Cavalry was used in 2026 cause Russia cannot fight a war

[vagrant fox]

I let them save face in this instance

[urban spire]

if you look too close at a gun it stops being a gun and becomes a machine that ignites the propellant in a cartridge via a striking pin etc.
if you step too far back you're looking at a weapon made for taking human lives

you gotta find a middle ground where you can appreciate it without taking in the full weight of it

[opaque coyote]

It's like this constant derealization because WW1 is arguably way more cruel than WW2.

Not due to the casualities, since WW2 has more, but more so due to how...

They basically fought for fucking nothing.

A lot of countries joined because they were allies and they had to

[urban spire]

yep

[opaque coyote]

They literally only joined out of sheer obligation

[vagrant fox]

I sincerely appreciate how cleverly designed a lot of firearms and tools of war are, I wish they weren't used

[gleaming gale]

"It will be over by Christmas, trust me bro"

[opaque coyote]

I think guns, tanks, etc.

Yeah they're morbidly awesome

With both definitions

The modern and biblical sense

In some level, humans are excited by danger, I guess that's why we like building weapons and analyzing them

But we don't want to use them

Unless if you're a fucking freak ig

[vagrant fox]

Adrian Wiart about WW1

[opaque coyote]

That's also why we like FPS games.

It's a harmless way to indulge basically

And games like paintball and airsoft

I honestly want to own guns because they're cool

Like genuinely, I wish that I could become one of those Texas freaks that basically have

A fucking arsenal worth of a small army

Because it sounds fucking awesome to own

[vagrant fox]

something people are born for games something war is the only game that truly matters

• big baby man

[opaque coyote]

Like ngl

If I become rich

I'm moving to Texas and immediately gonna buy random fucking weapons that I think are cool

Buy some land in a fuck ass desert in the middle of nowhere

And fire it

That random cactus over there?

Turned into mush

[gleaming gale]

What did the cactus do

[opaque coyote]

It looked at me funny

[urban spire]

idk if texas is a great place to be right now

i guess if you're rich

[opaque coyote]

Yeah definitely not

This is a hypothetical that doesn't consider current political events

But as an interesting anecdote

[urban spire]

one of my girlfriends is from texas, was married to her for a year, it had disastrous consequences for my accent

[vagrant fox]

I don't know what I'm playing War Thunder for

[urban spire]

why are you playing it in dutch

[vagrant fox]

but messages like these are a bit funny

[urban spire]

oh no

[vagrant fox]

Some doid sent me messages in Dutch for some reason

[urban spire]

it's a dutch person

it's a really funny thing when you piss of some europeans bad enough they forget how to speak english

[humble shoal]

Be like that one texas billionaire who has his own air force

[urban spire]

skill issue frankly, i'm unreasonably angry almost all the time and it never impacts my english

[opaque coyote]

I distinctly remember that there is a guy that actually owns a fucking Vulcan Gun or something and allows people to fire it at a price?

[gleaming gale]

I can't take dutch language seriously

[humble shoal]

There is one dude who acts as opfor for the usaf

[opaque coyote]

I forgot if it actually exists though or if it still exists

[humble shoal]

He has so many migs

[urban spire]

oh my stars did y'all see the cum-cum issue they had recently

[gleaming gale]

The what

[opaque coyote]

The what

[vagrant fox]

Is it similar to the bull semen factory exploding

[urban spire]

it's fucking impossible to google but i'm desperately looking for the news article

[opaque coyote]

I genuinely want to fire a Vulcan

Or even a minigun

Not at people

[humble shoal]

Thats a thing in vegas

[opaque coyote]

Because if I join the military

A) No

[humble shoal]

Its like 5k

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

I remember that

Existing

I think that what I was referring to earlier

[humble shoal]

Not a vulcan

[opaque coyote]

I honestly want to try that at least once in my life

[humble shoal]

But the SAW is cheaper

[opaque coyote]

At least once

[humble shoal]

Only like 3k

[opaque coyote]

Good enough

I want to fire it at least once

At least

At least once

[opaque coyote]

HAHAHA

[vagrant fox]

German is also very silly

[opaque coyote]

It's not even the cumcum part that's the funniest

It's just the other words

[humble shoal]

I want to shoot a gyrojet

[opaque coyote]

Bolter irl

[humble shoal]

Nah gyrojets arent explosive

[urban spire]

no!

[humble shoal]

Just spinny

There are more boltery weapons now

[vagrant fox]

'The CumEx-Files is an investigation by a number of European news media outlets into a tax fraud scheme discovered by them in 2017'

alright

[urban spire]

also bolter rounds fire an initial charge to get them up to speed so they don't get the issue gyrojets have where you can stop them from working by putting your finger in the barrel

because the rounds don't accelerate fast enough on pure jet power

[humble shoal]

M40

Goes brrrr

"Fire a warning shot"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I had the idea that

The Lasguns back in the colonization to early DAoT era were made specifically for colonists. Like the equivalent of basic self defense. It's like how in the 1800s, a lot of Americans™ actually owned rifles for hunting. It's like that.

The Bolters were made to eviscerate any serious threat

Because some creatures like Grox are quite aggressive

[urban spire]

i stand by the statement that there's very little difference between modern agls and bolters

the innovation is a few hundred years down the line tops, not a few TENS OF THOUSANDS

[opaque coyote]

And that the reason why Lasguns became so popular

It's because they were pretty much the most widespread choice among isolated planets

Like everyone would've had one

[urban spire]

i am very annoyed by the fetishization of bolters

[vagrant fox]

Well yeah but they're also technologically regressed

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it makes sense

[urban spire]

sure

still annoying

[opaque coyote]

Guns don't really change much

Like we still use a .50 cal machine gun invented over a century ago

[urban spire]

bolters aren't even that good if you think about it

[opaque coyote]

Because it still works good

Why change it

[sacred ginkgo]

Same action, nesr identical caliber

[opaque coyote]

It's a case of rule of cool

A lot of Warhammer weapons really aren't that practical

That's the point

[urban spire]

if you cut the jet propellant you could just be firing full auto grenades

https://fixvx.com/shas_kais/status/2036094915654926814?s=20 Not to bother the current topic going on, but I saw this on another server, no idea how true this is considering that Ive only heard that AoS is doing well

Shas'la Kais (@shas_kais)

I turn my back on AoS for a bit and return to find the fanbase in turmoil. Supposedly, leakers and rumour mongers are saying that GW is going Endtimes/soft reboot AoS.
Can any AoS bros tell me how credible all this is? If GW plans to do to AoS what they did to WHFB, I would be losing some bets.

And I am a really sore loser

[gleaming gale]

Fucking kek

[opaque coyote]

I did have an idea of some fucked up bolter prototype that's essentially a grenade machinegun

[urban spire]

bolters have frag rounds that kinda do this already, right?

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[urban spire]

but they could have even more explosives!

[gleaming gale]

It would be fucking hilarious if they nuke AoS just to reboot it back to the Old World

[urban spire]

or like, put a fucking HEAT charge in there

[opaque coyote]

Tbf that's probably what the special ammo is for

[outer wave]

Bro thatd be DOGshit

[urban spire]

or HEDP

[opaque coyote]

That would be absolutely ass ngl

It'd be like rebooting 40k back to 1st edition

[sacred ginkgo]

Bolters would be so much functionally better as pure ballistic weapons

[urban spire]

i don't like AoS but i respect it, they shouldn't kill it

it doesn't deserve that

[sacred ginkgo]

You'd save so much space in the cartridge

[opaque coyote]

Oh 100%

[urban spire]

yeah that's what i'm saying!

[rocky gale]

If GW did this it would genuinly be the stupidest thing they've ever done

[opaque coyote]

But the reason why the Bolter is so iconic is because it's basically

The embodiment of 40k

[opaque coyote]

It's overly stylish, overly cruel, and wildly impractical.

[sacred ginkgo]

Its a big dumb stupid terror weapon

[vagrant fox]

I'm fairly sure they won't goof the 3rd or something best selling wargame

[opaque coyote]

But fuck you can't deny

It's fucking awesome

[humble shoal]

Dakka

[rocky gale]

Endtimes was an absolute shit show, but Fantasy needed to end because it was a financial train wreck. AoS on the other hand is their second biggest earner

[opaque coyote]

And it's also why seeing it animated is always a treat

[humble shoal]

Rocks fall and everyone dies, except for nagash

[opaque coyote]

I still think

[humble shoal]

Nagash cannot die

[opaque coyote]

Using bolt weapons in Darktide

Is the best feeling ever

Like genuinely

It is so fun

[urban spire]

only the tabletop was shit, the other stuff was cool as hell

[opaque coyote]

Perfectly weighty

[urban spire]

love the bolt pistol

[opaque coyote]

God it feels like I have the power of the fucking Emperor in my finger tips

[urban spire]

i do still wish darktide had a sidearm slot

[rocky gale]

It didn't make money was the issue

[urban spire]

using a pistol as your main weapon feels so wrong

[opaque coyote]

It does.

Your melee weapon

[humble shoal]

Gun is the sidearm

[urban spire]

i want a rifle slot, a sidearm slot and a melee slot

[rocky gale]

The models were too generic, if anyone did play WHFB they didn't actually use Warhammer models, they'd just grab far cheaper alternatives that looked the same/better

[opaque coyote]

Boltgun.

I like the detail that it's the Arbites version which is why you can actually fire it

[humble shoal]

I want an arc rifle

[sacred ginkgo]

That would kinda murder variety

[opaque coyote]

But also

IT'S JUST FUN

[sacred ginkgo]

Everyone could take revolver

[urban spire]

yeah! it's the arbites bolter from dark heresy! locke pattern!

[sacred ginkgo]

And a gun

[opaque coyote]

SEEING ALL THOSE FODDER

TURN INTO FUCKING MUSH

[humble shoal]

Dual quickdraw

Yee haaaaaw

[opaque coyote]

I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE FALL TO KHORNE.

[sacred ginkgo]

30 fodder per mag

Cause the mk2 only has 3 cleave

[urban spire]

you can tell it's arbites because even though they don't have power armour they don't want a stock on it, just pure penis extension gun

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though seeing them like literally blow up in half

[humble shoal]

No do it in the emperors name

[opaque coyote]

Is satisfying beyond words

[humble shoal]

Blood for the emperor skulls for the golden throne

[jade holly]

So with the reveals of the CSM model datasheets, those aren’t happening this Saturday correct?

[opaque coyote]

Fuck I wish more depictions of the Boltgun was like this

[jade holly]

The preorders for this Saturday are already set in stone?

[gleaming gale]

yeah

[jade holly]

So it’s most likely next Saturday for the CSM models?

[thorn pecan]

Actually, we are getting closer to 40K rn

https://youtube.com/shorts/4q7oSgbC2cA?si=yCilPwTh0o-omJL_

[gleaming gale]

Any and all preorders for the week after are announced on sundays

[opaque coyote]

The SM2 version sucks ass by comparison. I hate it.

I get why it's weak gameplay wise. Balance, wanting to use other weapons, etc.

But the feeling of it sucks ass also. Which is what I hate about it the most.

[jade holly]

I know that part I’m just trying to make sure I have my dates right so I don’t miss my window

[urban spire]

people used to complain that bolters in videogames didn't have the distinctive roar mentioned in all the novels, but that always kinda felt like bullshit to me, that's not a real fuckin sound it's just something the writers made up to sound cool

[storm jungle]

[wet leopard growl]

[urban spire]

that thing was in battlefield 4 lmao

[gleaming gale]

Can't be really sure, it's between next week and whenever GW feels like it

[urban spire]

or something like it anyway

[opaque coyote]

To be fair. Darktide got the sound right.

It sounds fucking meaty

[gleaming gale]

Hello Leman Russ

[jade holly]

As as they’re not this Saturday I’m alright

[urban spire]

i'm not watching the video but it's the airburst grenade launcher right?

[vagrant fox]

I'd like a sort of boom-fwoosh sound to them

[rocky gale]

Like absolutely if GW do another Endtimes it's basically suicide

[opaque coyote]

Less a roar

More of like

Several explosions

Which is what I think is great

[storm jungle]

For them to reboot AOS it would need to be literally a monetary dead-end

which is like lmao
