[hallow plover]

There must be some ok black templar enjoyers somewhere

[storm jungle]

All the same really

[gleaming gale]

Black Templar activities

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

I miss Eternal

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHhh !!!!!!

[brave owl]

We should take away

their metal BAWKSES

SIIIIIIIIIIINDRIIII

[opaque coyote]

Worst part is that I think Black Templars aren't bad.

Like, in all honesty, I actually quite like them. But if I ever get into the table top, I'll probably never play them because I don't want to be associated with those type of people.

[hallow plover]

Only good chapter is whoever you enjoy as long as you're not an asshat

[storm jungle]

Then just dont.

[solid horizon]

WRONG

[opaque coyote]

Exactly

[storm jungle]

As long as you dont interact with BT fans its fine lol

[solid horizon]

black templars, ultramarines and dark angels

[storm jungle]

thye are like one of THE WORST parts of the fandom

none of the memes exaggerate it

[solid horizon]

there is no way you can unironically enjoy them

[brave owl]

BT has great aesthetic tho

[hallow plover]

Lemme go scout their reddit

[storm jungle]

again, we arent talking about the army

[urban spire]

thought iron hands fans were the worst part of the fandom

[storm jungle]

lol

[storm jungle]

Oh god

[gleaming gale]

Who

[thorn pecan]

This is the best opinion. Huron did nothing wrong

[brave owl]

yes he did

[rocky gale]

Not enough of them to be a problem

[brave owl]

he hurt the Lamenters 😭

[opaque coyote]

They were just pussies smh

Backed out at the last second

[opaque coyote]

Can't join the pirate party

That’s what they bitch ahh get for loving to pay taxes

[brave owl]

🔪

[thorn pecan]

Huron is a true American patriot

[opaque coyote]

Even has the war crimes

[gleaming gale]

When did Huron donate to Israel

[opaque coyote]

1700s-1800s america

To be precise

American history is genuinely fun to read

[brave owl]

Its not if you have to learn it for twelve years

The same events

over and over

[storm jungle]

Lmao i was searching for some evidence

and came across this old goldie

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that just goes for schools in general

[storm jungle]

most normal space marine pfp user

[brave owl]

there is so much interesting history

and american history be like

[opaque coyote]

History is pretty interesting if you actually look for anything more than what school teaches you.

[brave owl]

WW2, WW1, Prohibition, Civil War, Revolutionary War

all day

every day

[forest orbit]

LOL

bruh

[brave owl]

Maybe civil rights if you're not in the south LUL

[thorn pecan]

US-Philippine War was peak cinema, as a Filipino. I can’t believe they don’t teach that in the US other than a few name drops

[hallow plover]

@storm jungle their reddit seems mostly perfectly fine WiP projects. I guess i'm not researching the right channels

[rocky gale]

If Vostroyans get a Killteam and Steel Legion get nothing, we will see heads literally exploding

[heady rivet]

God please let this happen it would be so funny

[storm jungle]

Yeah last month they did a thing of a black templar mini showcase where they hung jesus on a cross 💀

[heady rivet]

And then it sells well

And gets a full army

[sacred ginkgo]

Us schools only ever talk about the world wars, maybe Vietnam, and iraq

[opaque coyote]

I mean during the civil war, there was a guy called Dan Sickles who was fucking insane.

An interesting fact about his life.
He had an underaged wife (he was like 40 btw and she was like 16?) and constantly cheated on her. But she went onto an affair, he got so mad that he shot the guy.

He was taken to court, and pleaded temporary insanity. But due to being a politician, he called in some favors and got the President to shake his hand.

So despite shooting a guy in broad daylight, he got away scotfree.

And that's just one of the things he did

[brave owl]

thats fucked

I didn't know about that guy lol

[urban spire]

only american civil war era guy i respect is john brown, and he technically died before it kicked off

[heady rivet]

Then fucked over the entire Gettysburg battle plan for the lulz

[storm jungle]

We need men like him today tbh

[opaque coyote]

He also got his leg blown off by a cannonball after refusing to follow his general's orders. His leg is actually in the Smithsonian museum I believe and he actually saw it for himself

[rocky gale]

US Civil war lame, if you want real shit you gotta research the Russian civil war

[storm jungle]

the Imperial Russian army are fucking psychopaths dude lmao

[opaque coyote]

When he saw it, he was reportedly disappointed that his foot wasn't also there

[storm jungle]

i was reading some of the shit they did and christ

literally just pile upon pile of "Lol what civillians."

[heady rivet]

"Another 20 trillion dead liberals" - Literally every side

[brave owl]

China losing 3 million people and calling it a win.

repeat 10 times

[rocky gale]

Where you've got respected bipartisan moderate Lavr Kornilov saying "I will save Russia even if it requires killing every man and burning every field"

[gleaming gale]

Average Ming Dynasty disagreement
30 million dead
47 million displaced
3 million people eaten
new recipe for rice discovered

[opaque coyote]

Basically USA history is actually interesting. The problem is that schools usually go for the general parts. And every history textbook as a result recount the same like 10 events in the most boring way possible.

This also includes history textbooks from other countries.

Or Sternberg who would hypnotise people and kill Owls with his bare hands

[storm jungle]

average 40k character

[opaque coyote]

According to my dad, who went to school in China back in the 80's

[gleaming gale]

You mean Genghis Khan reborn

[opaque coyote]

Apparently my textbooks are so much better than what he had as a kid

[heady rivet]

Ungern-Sternberg is the real life equivalent of a world book that doesnt really care about that part of the map so its just "here be dragon" stories except everything about him is true

[opaque coyote]

Since his textbooks were apparently extremely fucking dry. No pictures or examples or anything. Just an extremely lengthy verbose explanation on paper and nothing else. No sections

[brave owl]

Emperor Decrees its okay for the Eunichs to criticize him.
Murders those who criticized him
They complain
Murder them too

[vagrant fox]

Ungern-Sternberg is the only man I'll ever respect, all hail Ghengis Khan reborn

[heady rivet]

Based btw

[opaque coyote]

Oldest trick in the book.

Mao also did that btw

[heady rivet]

Donald Trump WISHES he had the ability to strangle Ted Cruz

[opaque coyote]

That trick has been used a lot

In Chinese history

[heady rivet]

Trolled epic style

[opaque coyote]

Well that and canninalism

But tbf Sieges often devolved into cannibalism for every history

It's just that China was special for having the largest amount

[heady rivet]

A lot of Chinese history is just shocking to a lot of people because of just how many people were in China ALWAYS

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I honestly have no idea if we repopulated a lot because we died a lot

Or if we died a lot because we always repopulated a lot

[heady rivet]

Yes.

That and

Rice

Rice has like a ton of calories per ton

[brave owl]

Its a good thing China has a lot of water.

Because that is such an inefficient crop

for water

[opaque coyote]

Also tbf numbers generally are exaggerated, especially in ancient history, but due to China having such big numbers consistently.

We agree that a lot of people died generally

[gleaming gale]

Look at India, their population increased by 1.1 billion in 75 years

[rocky gale]

Apparently the reason the deaths were always so high was the reliance on Rice, so basically any major conflict massively impacted the rice supply and the population didn't have any other means to support it's size, so most of those people starved.

[brave owl]

Rice is amazing but personally I think we should rely less on it haha

[opaque coyote]

But hey at least we got rice cakes

[heady rivet]

When the Mongols invaded China, due to the diet of the Chinese population the soldiers would start feeling ill and weak after a single day without food. While the Mongols could go 2 or 3 days if pressed. Also, the Mongols had like 6-8 inches on average to the Chinese in height

[rocky gale]

Relying on any single crop is always a bad idea long term

[opaque coyote]

Mongols had a varied diet due to their nomadic nature

(duh)

[gleaming gale]

glad you specified it

[brave owl]

Horse milk, hmmmn

[heady rivet]

And a ton of protein. Meats, cheeses, yogurts

"Americans"

its not really a case of nationality

[brave owl]

yes

[brave owl]

fair

[storm jungle]

Dont get me wrong America has always been a dogshit country but yeah lmao

[opaque coyote]

Idk how rich people end up believing in crazy shit

Genuinely

[storm jungle]

Because they dont really get taught basic morality lol

[gleaming gale]

Something something money and power corrupts

[opaque coyote]

How TF does gaining billions of dollars make you believe in shit like crystal healing

[gleaming gale]

That's just a front for the plebs

[opaque coyote]

Steve Jobs dying of cancer because he dead ass believed that it could be cured with an all fruit diet

[brave owl]

its not just rich people

Im pretty sure there are still people who go after older chinese medicines

[rocky gale]

Being a billionaire doesn't corrupt you, you just need to be corrupt to become a billionaire

[opaque coyote]

Both

You already need to be corrupt to become a billionaire

[brave owl]

or really fucking lucky

or inherit it

mostly inherit

[urban spire]

power doesn't corrupt, power just reveals who you are without consequences

[opaque coyote]

But being a billionaire also generally makes you worse

[rocky gale]

If I suddenly become a billionaire, I would very quickly stop being one

[gleaming gale]

Reminds me of that garbage trucker in the UK who won the lottery and spent the entire money on drugs and hookers and 8 years later he was back working the garbage truck

[urban spire]

or at least that's what i used to say, but obscenely rich people clearly suffer some sort of mental deficiency from living perpetually in a completely frictionless environment where nobody ever tells them no

[opaque coyote]

Mainly because of this but also because the only people you surround yourself with are mostly fellow shitheads

[rocky gale]

I could easily live the rest of my life in complete comfort on a million, why the fuck would I need billions

[rocky gale]

No as in I would just give it away

I don't need that shit

[opaque coyote]

Like anybody would be driven mad if your fellow "friends" are people like Donald Trump

[heady rivet]

And said he never regretted any of it

[opaque coyote]

And you are always paranoid that people are after your money so any genuine relationship is hard to form

So your mental state will likely go down because it's hard to make sure who is genuine and who is not

[rocky gale]

Genuinly, keep a million. Live a completely normal life just without ever having to worry about money and give all the rest away

[opaque coyote]

Generally yeah I would just downgrade to a millionaire

[vagrant fox]

You will never achieve the high score with that mentality

[opaque coyote]

Enough to live on for generations.

[gleaming gale]

One market crash and two economic crises later the inflation would nuke that sum

[brave owl]

theres a problem with people though

where if they gain more money, they believe they have to upgrade

[rocky gale]

Not as badly as it would the people who don't have a million in the bank

[brave owl]

of course at a certain point upgrading doesn't matter really to maintain your life style

[opaque coyote]

That would be such a severe market crash that even billionaires would sweat.

And by severe I mean

[brave owl]

But on a million some people would be tempted to buy a big house

[heady rivet]

JKR stopped being the big Billion because she donates to charity at insane levels and (very important to staying a billionaire) she actually pays taxes. Doesnt use a tax haven.

[opaque coyote]

"Making the great depression look like nothing"

[gleaming gale]

Billionaires nowadays don't even have that money in banks, they just have them all in assets

[heady rivet]

Tax haven assets, also

Not paying taxes is like a major part

Of staying a billionaire

[rocky gale]

Lets not use JKR as a example for any morality issues

[opaque coyote]

True.

Still though. Being a billionaire in general would fuck up your mental state

So the only ones that keep being one

[gleaming gale]

Why do you think they're all lizardmen

[opaque coyote]

Are those that are already fucked in the head

[hollow lantern]

I think you have to have a fucked mental state to be a billionaire anyway

[opaque coyote]

True. But it's a special kind of fucked to keep it

More than just being relatively selfish

[gleaming gale]

You literally don't even live in the same world anymore with that money

[opaque coyote]

And ignoring the ladders you kick down

The throne is small and crowded with shitheads

Why would any sane man go there

[storm jungle]

People really dont realise how apt the "ivory tower vs slums" thing is

its not even a metaphor in most cases lol

[opaque coyote]

Being at the bottom sucks

Being at the top would suck if you're not an evil asshole that eats babies

And the middle is shrinking

[heady rivet]

okay.

[opaque coyote]

10/10

Love society

[hollow lantern]

Have any of you ever had 1 on 1s with actually rich people

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I'm just thinking of a Newton's cradle

[hollow lantern]

I did when I was a painter

Would paint real nice kitchens in mcmansions

[gleaming gale]

"Listen up liberal, their wealth will trickle down and we will all get rich, trust the plan"

[hollow lantern]

I'd say a solid 95 percent of the ones I've spoken too are completely unaware of actual life issues

[young pecan]

Do not slander my goats like that

Seraphon deserve no such comparison

[opaque coyote]

Trickle down wealth does exist to a degree.

However there's a roof over the heads of people who would actually benefit from it

The rich become richer

Millionaire? Closer to a billionaire now!

Anything below that won't get a drop

[young pecan]

Trickle down is real and it exists in the form of piss over Reagan's tombstone

[storm jungle]

LOL

[opaque coyote]

Real

God I can't wait for Donald Trump to get a grave

[storm jungle]

it'll prob be on a golf course

bro is literally building himself an imperial palace

[opaque coyote]

It looks even tackier than the 40k Imperial palace

Which is

An achievement

[young pecan]

Golf has always been a stupid evil richie sport

[gleaming gale]

At war with Persia

[young pecan]

Wish it would die faster than the wilderness that it's killed has

[opaque coyote]

Probably because Trump has like zero aesthetic sense

[storm jungle]

I wanna kill my dad whenever he wants to make me play it

lol

[opaque coyote]

My dad likes it

So honestly I think it's an old man sport

Old people fucking love it

[young pecan]

It is both really

[storm jungle]

which is hilarious because golf was invented by Scots as a game played by ordinary people

[young pecan]

No less lame though imo

[storm jungle]

shepherds, soldiers, laborers etc

[arctic talon]

[hollow lantern]

Golf is the biggest fucking resource waste

[vagrant fox]

Golf is fine, 99% of golf courses should be reduced to atoms

[opaque coyote]

A lot of stuff that rich people have ironically got popularized by the poor.

Wings used to be extremely cheap

[hollow lantern]

Agreed

Conceptually golf is fine

[arctic talon]

Wings aren’t rich people food

[gleaming gale]

Lobster too

[opaque coyote]

But around the 80's is when people realized "holy shit I can make money!"

[arctic talon]

Tbf prison lobster isn’t like the lobster we eat now lol

[opaque coyote]

And then it got way more expensive

[young pecan]

Lobster sucks dick so I'm glad that's a rich people food

[arctic talon]

That shit was literally rotten

[heady rivet]

I wont miss him but lets all just admit the internet will be fucking UNUSABLE for like the next decade after

[arctic talon]

Lobsters rot fast

It’s nasty

[opaque coyote]

It's already barely usable

I also don’t like lobster

[opaque coyote]

Enshittification

[heady rivet]

I miss when the overwhelmingly rich minority did slavery and paid brilliant young minds to create timeless works of art that would be remembered for centuries to come
instead of just doing slavery

[opaque coyote]

Cassia is genuinely my favorite example of an Imperium noble.

Like she's not a bad person... Relatively. It's still the Imperium after all.

But you can definitely tell she's still a noble. It's both cruel but also funny that a good chunk of her cruelty is accidental. Again not all of it but still

[young pecan]

Like yeah they were evil but at least they funded the arts LMAO

[gleaming gale]

Meanwhile the nobility on Janus

[misty vector]

Isnt this a job for the serfs?

[opaque coyote]

I genuinely wonder. It's not like fascists haven't done good art.

Like you know Salvador Dali? He was a fascist actually. Supported fascist Italy specifically. Yet he is one of the best known surreal painters.

So it makes me wonder why MAGA is so...

Artistically barren

[gleaming gale]

MAGA isn't an ideology

it's a cult

[young pecan]

Conservatives do what daddy tells them and that's it

[misty vector]

Americans have no culture

[young pecan]

Daddy is not telling them to think or make art

[opaque coyote]

Pfft

Nah

We got guns

[misty vector]

They just name their favorite stores

[opaque coyote]

And we export that culture

all the time.

[young pecan]

ait leest oim not gettin shawt dooin me maffs innit

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside, America does have culture.

It's to the point where going to a different state is like going to a different country

Texas and California are quite different

[young pecan]

It's just a shmorgashborg

[opaque coyote]

Also the fact that the most common accent for English is technically californian

Because Hollywood

CALIFORNIA IS INSIDE ALL OF YOU.

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE.

[gleaming gale]

Ave, true to Caesar.

no way that's an article

[storm jungle]

Article?

its an ENTIRE saga

man i dont even wanna imagine what kinda battles wikipedia users have to take to make sure the truths they write regarding this shit doesnt get redacted by other brainwashed fascist users

[opaque coyote]

I won't even call it conservativism at this rate. It doesn't really go back to tradition that often.

Besides white supremacy I guess

[storm jungle]

It comprises ideologies such as right-wing populism, right-wing antiglobalism, national conservatism, Christian nationalism, and neo-nationalism, and features significant illiberal, authoritarian,[7][8] and autocratic beliefs.[b] Trumpists and Trumpians are terms that refer to individuals exhibiting its characteristics. There is significant academic debate over the prevalence of alt-right and neo-fascist[a] elements of Trumpism.

"academic debate"

[gleaming gale]

Trumpians

[opaque coyote]

Illiberial is a fucking word

Wow I didn't fucking know that

[opaque coyote]

Tbf the debate is less about whether it exists.

And more how much does it have overall

Because as an "ideology" it's even more contradictory than the usual fascist bs

[opaque coyote]

I have never seen a president's goals flipflop

So much

Probably because of the dementia

[storm jungle]

Does he even have dementia

people always say this lmao

[heady rivet]

Fully lucid.

Very clearly just watching him

[rose thorn]

New Stellaris dlc

[opaque coyote]

He definitely did have a stroke due to the drooping face, and he always seems to get worse cognitively.

He also has this stance. A common sign of dementia is forward leaning while standing and Trump does this often

[civic gale]

hi lore chat

[opaque coyote]

The Lewy lean

[outer wave]

I imagine its him having dementia and knowing he could get in trouble so he does desperate, stupid things in order to get attention away

Dumb and dementia ridden, but a little okay in there to where he knows certain things

[civic gale]

is it gutrot or rotgut?

[opaque coyote]

He also stands on platforms to prevent him from doing it for certain scenarios

He's still technically younger

Should've clarified

its also one for one i believe

i havent checked richard nixon yet

[heady rivet]

Nixon would never because he was only into one (1) woman

In terms of presidents

DJT (duh) and Bill Clinton are the only ones known I believe?

There's thousands of names so idk

[opaque coyote]

Yes thousands

[rose thorn]

crazy slur

[opaque coyote]

Tbf some were there like

Once

Presumably for a regular party

[rose thorn]

also literlaly there is a slur in ther elol

I don't think that is important tbh

Especially given the suspected baby eating

[heady rivet]

Yeah Nixon does that. His rant about Rome is hilarious

[rose thorn]

every username iwth rat in it is like permanently damaged

true..

[opaque coyote]

[rose thorn]

they have done the exact same hsit and donald turmp talks baout forrest gump all the time

[opaque coyote]

"IT WAS ME. I REMEMBERED WATERGATE AND I'M ABOUT TO GET REVENGE!"

"i was born under the blessings of nixon"

[opaque coyote]

Watergate is basically fucking nothing rn

Let's be fair here

[rose thorn]

what are you on about

[opaque coyote]

I don't think Nixon did anything as bad as DJT?

I don't think anyways

[rose thorn]

watergate was the greatest betryal of hte american people since windrow wilson until trump lmao

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it was at the time

Now though, it would probably be ignored

Also Woodrow Wilson is the funniest president.

"I should make a peacemaking board...

Hold on let me shove back civil rights by at least two decades."

[rose thorn]

oh hyeah oliver north

sorry water gate was the greatest betrayl of the american people until iran contra then turmp

OH HEY THATS 3 FOR 3 FOR PRESIDENTS WHO WERE ACTORS THAT CAUSED HTE GREATEST POLITICLA SCANDALS IN AMERICAN HISTORY

uhhh richard nixon, regan, and trump

[opaque coyote]

I first learned of Oliver North from American fucking Dad

He was not talked about at all

[rose thorn]

yeah they taught it in schools and hten stopped and hten did adn then didnt

[opaque coyote]

Wow I wonder why he's gone

Also he went on Fox news

Of course he did

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I realized that the original Epstein Files

If they exist

Are probably fucking shredded

100%

[gleaming gale]

You only saw what they permit you to see

There's also the fact the idiots have video files named the same so if you swap the file format in the link you can open videos

But it might just put you on a watchlist

[heady rivet]

Fucks up Europe for the rest of time

[opaque coyote]

I also find it funny that the Europeans during WW2 were mostly fine with black soldiers

And the Americans were salty

They didn't want to deal with the BLACKS in the bars

And asked them to be segregated

...

The white American soldiers were segregated from the fucking bar

Funny how that works huh?

It's interesting how much culture and forward thinking develop in bars, taverns, and coffee shops

[solid horizon]

clubs

[opaque coyote]

The American revolution and French Revolution were first devised in cafes

The Speakeasys began an era where women began hanging out with men in bars as well

Along with things like Jazz becoming popularized in those places

[opaque coyote]

It's because people talking to each other and learning that they have more in common

Usually decreases any type of discrimination

It doesn't remove it outright obviously

But it does decrease

[solid horizon]

it was intellectuals and scholars meeting in private clubs a lot

[opaque coyote]

True.

But they also notably met in more public bars as well. They often flipflopped

[heady rivet]

Load-bearing "Europeans"

Brits, mostly

Pretty much just Brits

[opaque coyote]

At least they were chill when we weren't at that point

[solid horizon]

reminds me how much vincent price thought hitler was a great guy before he started hanging out in intellectual clubs and became communist instead lol

[opaque coyote]

Also it's worth noting that coffee was originally made by the Islamic nations

And it quickly became popular because well

Coffee

[solid horizon]

uh

[opaque coyote]

But there were many attempts to have it banned

[solid horizon]

what period are we talking about

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to Lenin not being a tipper

[opaque coyote]

15th-17th century

Yeah coffee is fairly recent

Well relatively

In it's liquid form anyways

[solid horizon]

thought we were talking like last century since blacks and clubs were involved

[opaque coyote]

Sorry

I flipflop topica

But trust me it's still related

[gleaming gale]

Can't believe I agree with Lenin on something

[opaque coyote]

Because the reason why Coffee was attempted to be banned was because people went to coffeehouses to talk to each other

It helped people talk and communicate and like you said

Started being in intellectual circles as well

So Coffee was constantly banned and unbanned

Bars, coffeehouses, clubs, etc. places where people congregate usually are where ideas arise and discrimination decrease. And despite the best effort of many kings and leaders. It never quite got stamped out

And with it, the drinks that constantly pop up

Alcohol, coffee, and tea.

[opaque coyote]

Lenin also basically had the temperament of like

The average internet user

Anything you disagreed with him with and he would spout in a rage

If he existed now, he would totally speak like somebody from a MW2 lobby

[daring creek]

Anyone else feel like everything is a conspiracy

Idk just when I see news paper headlines its so fucking dense in propaganda like what the fuck

Like what if everything the government is doing a precise chess movement out to fuck us over some way or somehow

It's apart of me believing people like idk ben shapiro are smarter than the words they say and are actually aware of how fucked up they are and are just evil.

[gleaming gale]

Who's gonna hold them accountable?

[daring creek]

Then again. He did write that book making the guy who wants worker rights the villain

And that school shooting movie

[daring creek]

Idfk

We can only criticize them

[gleaming gale]

If you ever question yourself on some fucked up shit 'would the government do it?' the answer is most of the time 'yes they would'

[daring creek]

Uh yeah the only thing stopping them is regulations and the mass uproar that would immediately occur if they made slavery legal or something

[gleaming gale]

Slavery is already legal with diminishing worker rights and dismantled unions if any lol

[daring creek]

Wageslavery but yeah

Also permitted by the 13th ammendment im p sure?

As punishment for a crime

But it probably isn't legally slavery since inmates are paid pocket change

[gleaming gale]

Legally distinct indentured labour

[daring creek]

And I feel like america is going to spiral further into violent hell hole once people realize voting isn't going to make their lives better

Like what the fuck do we have past voting

The government doesn't give a fuck, and it doesn't have a spine

Like whatre we going to do? Vote not to get fucked by corporations?

[storm jungle]

"The US government wanting to use Pennywise as a psychological weapons to mind control its own populace through fear is such a dumb concept!"

Meanwhile US government IRL:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb

[gleaming gale]

Maybe those guns you americans keep hoarding should be put to use when push comes to shove

[spring cairn]

woke bomb

[daring creek]

I don't think derek chauvin would be in jail if it weren't for protesting

[storm jungle]

Its infuriating ngl

[civic gale]

Is a chapter of fully tech Marines a thing?

[storm jungle]

i just watched a vid today on fauxmoi where ICE agents at the airport seperate a mom and child and NO ONE does anything

these people are fucking sheep

[storm jungle]

Nah, you can only have "a lot of techmarines" in your ranks

a chapter full of techmarines is not a thing

[daring creek]

Forgot what this phenomenon is called

[gleaming gale]

Bystander effect

[civic gale]

Could it be a thing with homebrew?

[daring creek]

Yea.

[storm jungle]

Probably not, it wouldnt really fly

[civic gale]

Fack

[storm jungle]

you cant really send all your members to mars

also makes no sense

why make your entire force engineers?

"people got too much to lose"

"they are just scared"

Have fun when they come for you then lol

[civic gale]

But may you base one like iron hands where they are very prevalent due to augments?

[storm jungle]

Yeah but IH are not all engineers either

[spring cairn]

population is armed to defend their rights

[civic gale]

I know that

[spring cairn]

doesn't defend their rights with said arms

[storm jungle]

Literally lol

what a fucking joke these people are

idk about anyone else but if cops were doing this in Turkey people would gang beat down these guys on the street lmao

[daring creek]

Yeah.

[gleaming gale]

Anywhere in the balkans tbh

[daring creek]

Though I want to ask. Would you intervene?

Wifi bad

[spring cairn]

in all of EU

it would be 8 months of bloody riots

[storm jungle]

Even if I got arrested yes, id hit one of them with a fucking metal pipe

[spring cairn]

or more

[storm jungle]

Sometimes all it takes is 1 person to do something

[daring creek]

It does.

[storm jungle]

Literally. I even watched this happen one time

[lament shoal]

That’s some 40k type shit lmao

[storm jungle]

some gendarmerie was arresting an old guy for no reason

and like a guy with a wooden stick showed up and starting beating them up

and like 4 more people joined

LMAO

then the officers ended up running away because people were throwing shit at them

one lady threw her steaming hot coffee and ill never forget how that one officer screamed

[gleaming gale]

Wtf I love turks now

[storm jungle]

mustachio people unite

[daring creek]

Holyshit

[storm jungle]

its kinda why i get mad at these videos

DO SOMETHING

fuck off

[daring creek]

Tf is that

[storm jungle]

Basically people are being "violent" and attacking government agents

so uhh lets enforce/push them down

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a landmark United States federal law (codified in 10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255) that empowers the president to deploy active-duty military personnel or federalize the National Guard to suppress domestic rebellion, insurrection, or civil disorder.

[daring creek]

Soo what ice already does with people

Sheesh

[storm jungle]

YEP

again, who the fuck knows anymore

[daring creek]

I should focus on my current existence and not the outer world tbh

[gleaming gale]

What the fuck is his gain here when he already controls the key positions

[storm jungle]

Honestly we'll prob never know until like years later

[daring creek]

Trust the plan™

[storm jungle]

As much as I see it hes just a dumbass that is easy to manipulate

[daring creek]

I've been seeing a whole lot more of his name i will not lie

In meme form

In tf2 and dt...

I wish i saved that killfeed of jeffrey epstein getting sniped

Its so hard not to pay attention to the news

[gleaming gale]

I mean regardless of administration, since the 90s as an ambassador he showed up only asking to bomb Iran, he finally found the useful idiot

[daring creek]

Though tbh cable news is designed to give you an anxiety disorder

[heady rivet]

Its literally just for his image. It "looks" good but at the same time immigration wont actually end or stop because he and every other rich needs a near-slave underclass of migrant workers that accept bullshit Americans dont. He's deported less than Biden and Obama but he wants his image to be this. Its literally just "aura farming"

[gleaming gale]

"Got what I voted for"

[heady rivet]

The system needs workers that accept abuse and low wages

[gleaming gale]

At least he owned the libs amirite

[civic gale]

So the space wolves live in an icy planet right?

[brave owl]

yes

least the original chapter does

[civic gale]

But do they choose it or did they just have to adapt to it?

[gleaming gale]

It also has volcanos

[brave owl]

Its basically like tradition

Thats where the primarch got flung to

So now most Space Wolves are taken from there

[opaque coyote]

Reminder

[brave owl]

Its probably theoretically possible to be from elsewhere

[opaque coyote]

Fucking hell if I existed in the 1980's

I would've been able to buy a house within a fucking year's worth of salary

[brave owl]

shoulda invested in housing while I was in the womb

[fervent geode]

There were a few from Terra but Fenris changed their seed

That’s why the Wolf Brothers had their catastrophe

[opaque coyote]

I should've invested while I was a sperm floating around in my dad's ballsack

[brave owl]

oh yeah, original legion members were all from terra I guess

thems some old space marines

Actually I think they were Thunder Warriors at that point?

[fervent geode]

Mostly dead by the heresy lol, the legion master died on their 1st or 2nd campaign

[fervent geode]

Nah they weren’t

[heady rivet]

Nah, Spess Wulves just recruit from Fenris in 40k. Ultramarines are the ones that just go "fuck it we ball" on recruitment worlds

Note: Imperial Fists and their successors are missing the Sus'an Membrane so they usually have a few recruiting worlds. Necromunda is an IF world

[opaque coyote]

Twarriors got killed off by SMs

[fervent geode]

Astartes being alleged thunder warriors only applies to two guys

[opaque coyote]

As soon as they were ready

[brave owl]

Yes I know, I just didn't know when they got replaced

[fervent geode]

Almost all thunder warriors either died or went into hiding like Taranis and the Dait Tar

[opaque coyote]

Tbf they did welcome their deaths but it doesn't make it any less of a dick move

[civic gale]

is there any chapter that is purely focused on being "supportive" of other chapters?

[brave owl]

Originally all Legions were thunder warriors on terra

and then Emperor did away with them

[fervent geode]

Nah that would be a waste of a chapter

[fervent geode]

They had their own legions but they were separate things from the Legiones Astartes

Their primarchs were mortal commanders for one

[gleaming gale]

Isn't Endryd Haar implied to be a former Thunder Warrior too

[brave owl]

Apparently Angrons original purpose was to be a "healer" whatever that means

[heady rivet]

First thing that comes to mind is Raptors, who usually arent assembled as a chapter but travel in squad-size elements everywhere and have a more supportive and spec ops role than helping smash teeth in directly

[brave owl]

in the context of space marines lol

[fervent geode]

Just Endryd Haar and Autek Mor, and even then it’s only implied

[civic gale]

that's exactly what i want, a chapter of marines which ofc fight but are mostly "in the shadows" supporting the other chapters

[heady rivet]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Raptors_(Chapter)

Go off king

[brave owl]

Alpha Legion?

They are the infil

[civic gale]

oh right im making a homebrew forgot to say

[brave owl]

idk how 7/8ft tall men infil a place

but they are that

[fervent geode]

They don’t support though they just fuck around and people find out, like at Kayvas

[brave owl]

I think Raven Guard are also considered spec ops

fair

[fervent geode]

They don’t infil so to speak

They use small unit tactics and guerilla warfare

In the AL’s case it’s a lot of sabotage

And infil of other legions in 30k

[brave owl]

in the black crusade ttrpg I think Alpha Legions have the highest Fellowship score lel

[civic gale]

I'm thinking of taking the techmarines being "engineers" part that dilara said but apply to it to a chapter, ofc they fight but they're focused on support giving aid where other chapters may require

[brave owl]

full of Apothecaries and Techmarines :p

[civic gale]

not quite

[brave owl]

When the Apothecary has to rip open a rampaging Carnifex (It eat his Brother whole and now he has to retrieve the geneseed)

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[jade holly]

Alright so with geneseed retrieving it from a dead marine won’t let you bring that marine back to life right?

[civic gale]

lmao

[jade holly]

It’s not a magic immortality item?

[brave owl]

No

The Chaos Legions do stick geneseed inside people and then brainwash them to be like old members though

I think

[gleaming gale]

Space King moment

[brave owl]

Bro got tricked

[fervent geode]

No you can just culture new organs

[brave owl]

^

[jade holly]

That’s why I asked lmao. I knew it didn’t work like Space King but just wondered why you’d retrieve it

[brave owl]

To replace all the enhancements

[jade holly]

Limited resource?

[fervent geode]

Not much brainwashing beyond the usual psycho indoctrination iirc

[brave owl]

Its limited resource yeah

40k is very big on lost technology and knowledge

[fervent geode]

Yeah, they have to steal from loyalists a lot

[brave owl]

so most people don't know how to make more

[jade holly]

So how can they keep making so many marines if it’s a limited resource

[gleaming gale]

Except when Cawl shows up and pulls the latest Inspector Gadget gimmick on the table

[fervent geode]

Stealing

Also one marine makes two progenoids

[jade holly]

Ye olde magical fix everything button

[brave owl]

space marines probably don't die as much as in the games most likely

I think each chapter has 1000 members?

[fervent geode]

Anyways some of us have gene vaults unlike yall loyalist filth

[brave owl]

So...

[fervent geode]

Thanks Mortarion

[jade holly]

Besides BT

Because fuck the codex

[fervent geode]

Yeah not including specialists

[gleaming gale]

Iirc Bobby G handwaved the limit off after he came back

[jade holly]

Is that how DA gets around it?

The wing branches?

[fervent geode]

No they don’t

[brave owl]

Also it should be noted that the warp fucks up geneseed so thats another reason why Chaos has to steal

[fervent geode]

DA is codex compliant

Not always

[brave owl]

it can

[fervent geode]

Word Bearers and Night Lords in the eye still harvest gene seed

It certainly can

[brave owl]

I think that was the problem with the Black Legion??

specifically

[fervent geode]

I need to read again in the usability of Death Guard gene seed but if we can’t I’m not too surprised

[fervent geode]

Not really? They take marines from everywhere and anywhere

Their gene seed make up is very very diverse

[jade holly]

Still can’t believe you betrayed the Word Bearers smh

[fervent geode]

I was on a Death Guard Hiatus tbh

[brave owl]

Word Bearers to be fair technically have the original blueprint still LUL

[fervent geode]

Hiatus over

[fervent geode]

True lol

[brave owl]

which is to say Lorgar

though he is a Daemon prince...

[jade holly]

You think the WB would ever make a massive Daemon Engine called the “Mouth of Chaos” or something

[brave owl]

So that probably fucks it

[fervent geode]

We have Mortarion and a gene vault

[fervent geode]

Yeah I’d imagine so lol

[gleaming gale]

It's Armageddover, steel bros

[jade holly]

Billions must shovel charge

[brave owl]

I'm sure Hereteks could probably find work arounds

[gleaming gale]

Just paint shovels yellow or whatever

[fervent geode]

Some of them do help in such services, like the one from Harrowmaster

[jade holly]

Speaking of colors, the Ork Waaghfield. Can you gaslight an Ork into thinking in a way that hurts them because of the waaghfield?

[brave owl]

need more then one ork for stuff like that to work

[gleaming gale]

Nah, most of the ork make belief shenanigans are overblown memes

[jade holly]

Like I know it’s not true reality manipulation and more grease on the wheel

[brave owl]

The "red to go faster" phenomenon is because of collective belief

[jade holly]

but like there is a thing where their weapons work better in their hands because they believe it’s got a better chance to work for them?

And it only affects Orks

[gleaming gale]

Blue guns are lucky

Yellow is more dakka

[brave owl]

lol you know what would be an -amazing- use of AI in video games?

[jade holly]

Yeah I know the colors, but the memes ruined how I think the waaghfield works

[brave owl]

An Ork video game where you play a shoota in first person, but the target reticle morphs and changes shape and area throughout the game

to represent how awful orks are at aiming

[gleaming gale]

Ork gestalt consciousness genuinely works on the colour because any greenskin has innate belief in those colour purposes

[jade holly]

So it’s physically tied to how they perceive things?

And the more Orks the more powerful the effect?

[gleaming gale]

Otherwise making an ork believe you're one of them because you wear a cardboard with a green face doodled is a meme

[gleaming gale]

Yeah

[brave owl]

orks are actually unnaturally good at detecting fakes

Genestealers don't work on them lol

[jade holly]

So if they believe someone to be harder to kill it doesn’t make the person more durable but it could make their guns have a higher chance to malfunction?

[gleaming gale]

It's still hotly debated if Yarrick's augmetic eye was made to shoot las bolts or orks made it happen through belief

[jade holly]

isn’t there some argument that Yarrick is seen as Orky so the waaghfield works for him?

Which is why he can even use the arm?

[opaque coyote]

Probably the former.

Either that or

It started as a rumor

And Yarrick decided

"Well, might as well make it official."

[jade holly]

Isn’t that why he also wields a Storm Bolter?

[gleaming gale]

It got retrofitted, and also, he's Yarrick, he can pull that shit

[jade holly]

I personally like the idea that Gork and Mork seem to think Yarrick as Orky enough

[brave owl]

remember also that 40k likes its stories to have unreliability

[opaque coyote]

Yarrick was genuinely just built different even before encountering the Orks ngl

[brave owl]

Yarrick could very well just be propaganda

[gleaming gale]

Yarrick was literally years into his retirement when he got called back 50 YEARS ago

[opaque coyote]

Basically

"Are you Orky because you're Yarrick? Or are you Yarrick because you're Orky."

[brave owl]

when you can sword fight warbosses you're gonna attract ork attention lol

[jade holly]

Does he use a power sword?

[gleaming gale]

He had a chainsword

[jade holly]

or does he just swing that arm around like a damn war club

[brave owl]

uuh idk

He has a power klaw now

at least

[jade holly]

He should get it retrofitted with a grappling hook

[opaque coyote]

Either way since the Ork Waagh fields have limited range depending on how big they are

I think his arm and eye do work outside of it

At most, it would be enhanced

Basically, if it were a video game, there would just be a stat that's like

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, only war has grav suspensor upgrades to let you hipfire autocannons without much recoil, same logic works for the klaw and the storm bolter

[opaque coyote]

"+100% damage to Orks"

On Yarrick's arm and eye

[gleaming gale]

I'm waiting for the shitshow if the leaks about his return are true

[opaque coyote]

Basically think of the Waagh field more as video game esque modifiers

[brave owl]

it'd be hilarious if it was just a fucking regular modern day laser pointer that just blinds you if you point it at someone

[opaque coyote]

The more the Waagh levels up

The better these modifiers are

[jade holly]

So painting it yellow basically gives it a crit chance effect

[opaque coyote]

Basically

Actually that would be blue

Yellow would be an explosive modifier or an AoE one

Red would be a speed modifier

[jade holly]

Red is fire rate or double barrels

[opaque coyote]

And green would be jack of all trades

Basically

Orks work off of video game rules

That's probably the best summarization

When you build something in an RTS. You just need the materials and X amount of time

How it's built doesn't really matter

The Orks are the same

They need materials, they need time, they need to put it in a specific configuration

[brave owl]

im waaghing till my gun shoot like dakka dakka

[opaque coyote]

But those tiny details like the laws of fucking physics don't matter

[jade holly]

They can’t just write “batteries” on a cardboard box and shove it into a vehicle to make it work though right?

[opaque coyote]

No they can't

[gleaming gale]

No

[opaque coyote]

You still need a battery item

Like how in a video game, you need to collect it

Like I said

[jade holly]

But where it goes in the machine doesn’t really matter

[opaque coyote]

Video game rules

[jade holly]

Just that it’s a battery

[brave owl]

ork machines don't make sense

but they still have the "parts"

[gleaming gale]

Nah, Meks are skilled at jury rigging shit until it works

You don't just throw it there

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. It still needs to be connected to the rest though

[jade holly]

What role are Lootas?

Are they the heavy gunners?

[storm jungle]

If orks could imagine shit to existence they wouldnt have engineers/meks

lol

[opaque coyote]

...look at their name.

[jade holly]

Yeah I’m just trying to relearn the reality after memes overtook it

[arctic talon]

Lootas use literally anything in lore but on tabletop they’re mass fire units with dogshit accuracy

lol

[jade holly]

Idfk Orkz do wacky shit

[opaque coyote]

They're basically just Orks that love hoarding shit

[storm jungle]

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

Lootas are thieving Orks who use stolen weaponry for creation of their fearsome Deffguns and fulfil the role of heavy support on the battlefield.

[jade holly]

I just remember Lootas from Warpforge

[brave owl]

ork psykers be crazee

[opaque coyote]

YOU'Z A SQUIG

AND YOU'Z A SQUIG

[arctic talon]

Lootas have been bad for so long

lol

[opaque coyote]

EVERYONE A SQUIGZ!!

[arctic talon]

Because the big shoota is total dogshit

[brave owl]

gunna krump you for that insult

[arctic talon]

It’s true

Big shootas are awful lol

[opaque coyote]

Also Psyker Orks are the same as Imperial Psykers.

[arctic talon]

They’re more unstable

[opaque coyote]

In that they can just randomly explode

[arctic talon]

lol

[gleaming gale]

I once had an enemy weirdboy in Only War fuck up his casting roll and the waaaagh energy launched him like 30 meters in the air

[arctic talon]

Tbf this is literally all psykers

lol

[brave owl]

based

[arctic talon]

Humans and Orks are just more prone to exploding

And eldar are insanely stable

[opaque coyote]

You would think the contrary because their Waagh field isn't really that connected to the wider warp.

But no.

[brave owl]

I though Eldar were evolved enough to not explode

[arctic talon]

Nah they can still suffer perils of the warp

They just have 3 layers of failsafe + evolution

[gleaming gale]

Perils of the WAAAAGH*

[opaque coyote]

Gork and Mork love playing a prank ig

[jade holly]

So Lootas go to a Mek, drop a bunch of random shit in front of them and say “make me a gun from this” and the Mek just goes “fuck it”

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Eldar psykers dont really explode because they arent stupid and volatile

[brave owl]

https://tenor.com/view/shoota-nob-space-marine-waaagh-ork-orks-gif-25458615

[gleaming gale]

Xenos propaganda

[jade holly]

Aren’t Eldar Psykers some of the most well attuned and stable Psykers?

[opaque coyote]

Of course it depends on the material for what quality gun.

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Take the larping back to reddit

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

But they still sometimes explode

When stuff goes really wrong

[storm jungle]

Yes until the plot needs them to fail

otherwise yes

[opaque coyote]

The warp is a cruel mistress

[arctic talon]

Or when they decide to let loose

[gleaming gale]

https://tenor.com/view/christopher-moltisanti-sopranos-ma-dai-922114-gif-6961803426850142863

[arctic talon]

And burn all their runes out

[brave owl]

all Eldar are psykers tbh

[arctic talon]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Yes

this is lore

[brave owl]

but only farseers really use it

[storm jungle]

lol

[arctic talon]

But not all eldar are focused on it

[storm jungle]

not just farseers

[arctic talon]

Warlocks

[storm jungle]

basically anyone that walks the Path of the Seer

[arctic talon]

Anyone on the path of the seer

[brave owl]

warlocks too yes sorry

forgot them

[storm jungle]

Eldar got a lot of mages

[arctic talon]

Spiritseer

[opaque coyote]

Except Deldar kinda?

[arctic talon]

One of the pilots

[brave owl]

Are they gonna drive a tractor

[opaque coyote]

I think their Psyker potential is gone

[arctic talon]

The uhhh

Hemlock?

I think has a warlock piloting it

[storm jungle]

?

[arctic talon]

I said path of the deer

By accident

[brave owl]

[storm jungle]

Bad joke

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393270878751686657/806416131543793686/image-3.gif

[brave owl]

no

[storm jungle]

yes

[brave owl]

lies

[storm jungle]

truths

[arctic talon]

But yeah eldar psykers have 3 layers of protection

Runes, a shit load of training, seer helmet

[jade holly]

Call me Bacchus the way I can see the future after 3 bottles of Hennessy

[arctic talon]

If all 3 of those fail there’s still the fact they’re extremely evolved

To not explode violently

Oh also Leagues of votaan psykers explode

As well

[storm jungle]

Dwarfplosion rip

[arctic talon]

Not as much as humans but they explode with some level of frequency

[opaque coyote]

Psykers are very explosive

[gleaming gale]

Deserved

[jade holly]

Throw then Dwarf Psyker

Kaboom

[arctic talon]

Despite the LoV’s best efforts

[brave owl]

not enough brain evolution

[arctic talon]

To make preventative measures

lol

[brave owl]

them old ones sure knew how to make psykers

[arctic talon]

Like the COG units with them

And their bootleg eldar runes

[brave owl]

Do you think Krork psykers never blew up?

[arctic talon]

Oh yeah fun fact they have really shitty reverse engineered eldar runes

[storm jungle]

We dont know

[opaque coyote]

It's better than "if they start whispering weird shit, just shoot them"

[jade holly]

I thought Votann couldn’t be Psykers? Just technomancers?

[storm jungle]

Krorks barely have any lore

[arctic talon]

They can, but only specific batches

[storm jungle]

Specific batches get to be psykers

Read the lexi

[arctic talon]

They’re one big eugenics program

By the Votaan

[jade holly]

I have been just haven’t gotten to that

[opaque coyote]

Which has some implications over DAoT. Unless if it's something new from them

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

Well we always knew you could prolly clone psychic potential

Due to the uh

[storm jungle]

It doesnt really have any implications

[arctic talon]

That one imperial army regiment

[storm jungle]

we know DAOT humans did fucked up shit

[arctic talon]

lol

[storm jungle]

lol

[arctic talon]

Where all the officers are women with mild psychic potential

Should Grimnyr get new models to look more in like with the Votann rather than something that feels like it belongs in AoS?

[arctic talon]

And all the line troops and specialists are men lol

[storm jungle]

they LITERALLY just came out

[jade holly]

I know…

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

They’re not getting a new model lol

[storm jungle]

because you know

[arctic talon]

Fucking wizards

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

How do they work

I wish his robe was open to show the void armor

I know you can see it from the back

But still

Magic systems can range from "random bullshit go" to "literally just math and science except it can shoot lasers from your hands"

It's always interesting to see regardless though

40k is squarely in the former though

[opaque coyote]

Crotch hands

[arctic talon]

lol

I love how both dorky and cool this guy looks tbh

[jade holly]

The nerd who has over 5 million power in Rise of Kingdoms

[opaque coyote]

The wide build makes him look fat but also intimidating due to his size

[arctic talon]

They’re trying way too hard to look cool

But it works

[opaque coyote]

It kinda reminds me of Kingpin

[jade holly]

Bro has the “hmmm my plan is coming together” posture

[storm jungle]

Thats basically how dwarves look in general

[opaque coyote]

Where he still is threatening despite at times looking kinda funny

Especially Super verse Kingpin
