thats what his entire 4-5 book series is about
he goes from sorrowful to vengeful to eventually acceptance
Didn’t Ahriman go into exile for a while?
Yes
Sorry I'm very ignorant about characters, only introduction I had was seeing their minis in white dwarf magazines when I was a kid
I know the basics thanks to my brother but that's it
he was called Ahriman the Exile for a bit before he got the “Architect of the Rubric” epithet didn’t he
No need to apologize Ahriman has like a REALLY long and massive story, like one of the most complex ones in 40k as he has like 5 fucking novels
id suggest just reading his lexi
because again LONG
Ahriman, next to Typhus, is one of the coolest named Chaos marines imo
Typhus is a dickbag and I love him for it lmao
Typhus does it for the love of the game
It's 3 am I'm not reading ahriman's alchemical bio
Ahriman does it because he has to aura farm
So long gay bowser
Kharn does it because the funny voices say so
Kharn is a psychopath yeah
LOL
Hes a piece of shit that helped Angron damn his legion
Sorry maam I failed I am not strong enough 😔
I haven't even gotten pass first episode of this blood marine show it's boring
I WARNED YOU
YOU DIDNT LISTEN

I can't put down my phone
then suffer
Mfw Typhus was so in it for the love of the game he was probably already a heretic before Erebus and Lorgar
number go up
these travellers never listen to me and bear the burden
Typhus is really tanky
I can't put down the phone
he has that beer gut
I can't put down the ohone
Friend? Enemy? No, numbers
I may have to face him saturday
Enjoy damnation
And I must get more
Great unclean one, Mortarion and Typhus scare me
Sippin on chomecazine,
Well that was creepy
I think I fell in love
Vashtorr give me strength
HIS NAME IS KU’GATH
ULKAIR
NURGLE BLESS HIM WITH YOUR STINKIEST GIFTS 🗣️ 🔥
Now I think of all the times you screwed me over....
Always left to wonder that it was always something that I've done
Will nurgle like my rad bombardment and radioactive aura
But I don't wanna live that way
bro
Listening to every word you say
is this guy singing
I think we gotta gabagool this Ale fellow
You said that you could let it go
Probably
I cant let go, the boss needs his money
anyway
If you like to gamble
cringe musical aside
Tell you I'm your man
im gonna go make coffee, its like 5 at night
hi at everyone
I still think that it's fucking hilarious that the ending slides are mostly sweet with classical music in the background
about how he died in ww2?
And then we just see Strohiem have several guns pop out from his back and shout
"GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD!"
apperantly
the "you utter fool" in japanese
its literally one of the worse insults you can tell someone
japanese friend told me that
is it true?
idk
Like I think it's the funniest shit that Strohiem is just outright a Nazi and yet you kinda forget that for a bit
...
And then you remember when the ending slides come
And I'm like
"Good riddance??"
And the funniest part is that Strohiem is introduced as a villain

As a fucking asshole
certified servo skull moment
And it's not like the author forgot that
Cause he's kinda the only one in the ending slides that don't get some happy outcome
Also the funniest shit is that the English version basically blocked out his heil with a shadow.

Lmfao I totally forgot he did that
Part 2 in general is definitely where the bizarre fully kicks in
Like Part 1 definitely has some craziness in there
But part 2 just dials it up by 1000
"The vampires? Actually they come from an ancient race of beings that were worshipped by the Aztecs. And they were made as basically livestock."
And it's also extremely funny that Kars was probably the most powerful villain up until Pucci
And that every part actually kinda toned it down until part 6
Part 3 being a continuation of Dio.
Part 4 having an episodic format and then switching to a serial killer
Part 5 being a mob boss
Araki was definitely like
"How do I top Kars in power...
I don't."
And Part 7 is going to be one episode at a time.
praise be
coming up with new warband names wooooh
"Claws of Despair"
"Warmongerers"
"War Hounds"
"Children of the Damned"
"Sons of Terror"
dont know which one to choose
kind of fond with the Warmongerers/Warmongers
War Hounds kinda sound too similar to World Eaters who sre often dog themed.
Me thinks...
Claws of the Damned
Would be a good one
Was thinking of that combination too
had some ideas to try and come up with something related to Lord/Lords
Lords of Damnation
are they god-aligned?
Lords of Despair
chaos undivided
Damned Lords
ooo thats a good one too
Honestly kinda want to do more with Malice
Sounds Nurgly
could be a successor warband
they do have some nurgle alligned members who have their own ship
Because honestly, in terms of domain, it makes complete sense.
There would definitely be people who just want
Everything to be gone
Not just for the Galaxy to Burn
Hmm maybe as subwarband
But to be snuffed out
There would be no fire anymore
Not even ashes
Nothing
There would be plenty of people who would have that desire in 40k
To shout
"Damn the Imperium, damn the 4, damn all of it. I want it gone!"
Beasts of Malice? Lords of Malice?
I mean there already exists an SM chapter for Malice
For the Emperor
true
Malice has some weird baggage
Also interestingly enough, Malice is one of the few Chaos Gods that can directly be summoned
Which
Probably is evidence for how small they are

But honestly imagining summoning something that's like
In-between a greater Daemon/prince and a fully fledged Chaos God
Would be terrifying
i had ideas for them to have some subwarbands due to their size and diversity
Because yeah maybe they could be killed
Eventuallt
But it would probably take more resources than the Siege of Terra
Staring longingly at Darktide rn
That world is just fucked
But yeah I like that there is a Chaos diety that just represents
"Fuck all of this shit! I hope you all die!"
And honestly Malice should generally be bigger given how fucked up the 40k galaxy is
I'm pretty sure there would be several people who would just want everything to end
Y'know?
noight lords
Yeah but they still enjoy like
Torture
And fucking around generally
They don't truly want everything to die
They're just the equivalent of drunken teenagers going around a city
Some drugs here and there
Some excruciating torture
And then hide from the cops
problem with naming my warband is that i want something simple yet which sounds cool
something that rolls the tongue like Red Corsairs or something like that
is hard to come up with tbh
Lords of Terror? 
Like what do they do
Like how would they invade a planet for example
What do they do to the innocent?
Combatants?
well, the way i imagined them would be more of a "adaptive" group who instead of using more simpler or preferred tactics (like World Eaters who prefer melee or Night Lords who rely on more cowardly tactics) they wage war in many ways to get the "job done"
think as if they have the advantage of higher ground, they fortify and shoot down their enemies, if they have melee advantage go all out on melee
sounds less chaos i know but i thought it would be cool
More depends on specifics, some times just quick kills
they only torture if they have time to spare, a point to make or terror tactics
Prowling Claws.
Like a hunter they use whatever it takes to catch and kill their prey
ooooh
thats a good one
What about "Hel Prowlers"?
I know some times Hell is mentioned in 40k and they usually refer to it as Hel
Apparently forge worlds owned by the dark Mechanicus are called
Hell Forges
Maybe we can end the ork incursion on the milky way if we get them all.addicted to tik tok and social media
Not Hel
...
Yeah Hell is probably an inconsistent concept in 40k
Could call them Warp Prowlers
Wouldn't that just be khornes abode
The same goes for like
The warp in general tbf
If you are a Psyker, you're gonna be fucking eaten by daemons even when you've already died
Fun for the whole family
Gotta burn bright before you burn out 🗣️ 🔥
Usually when a normal human dies, their soul just fades into the warp. Whether this process is painful or whatever is unknown.
If you have a powerful soul. Like being a Psyker. Your soul is gonna be eaten by Daemons
"Night Prowlers"
"Void Prowlers"
"Hel/Hell Prowlers"
"Dark Prowlers"
"Crimson Prowlers"
"Void Claws"
"War Claws"
"Death Claws"
If you are an Eldar. Congratulations, your soul specifically goes to Slaanesh unless if you're under protection
But apparently before Slaanesh existed
Eldar reincarnated and could remember their past lives
So I have a headcanon that everyone can actually do this by default.
It's just that Eldar were the only ones that remembered
I have seen Hell get called Hel somewhere just dont remember it
but I kinda like the idea of Hell Claws

sanguinius also mentions hell when he kills KaBandha
"if you truly do hail from the realm that men once called hell, when you return there, tell your kindred it was Sanguinius who threw you back"
Basically before Slaanesh everyone reincarnated
The ocean is often used as an analogue in the warp
In this case, if you died before things went completely shit
You would be reincarnated eventually
I also had uh
At a random point in time
But after Slaanesh got manifested and everything went tits up
ideas of changing my warbands allignment from chaos undivided to smaller chaos gods (so I can homebrew them)
Anybody would a particularly powerful soul basically is now just Daemon chow
or making them chaos undivided who also includes those lesser chaos gods
It's worth noting that
Surprisingly few undivided Marines are religious
Usually those that worship undivided just want the benefits
yeah i know
You could have them be somewhat religious
Have them kill each person equally
With a ritual that benefits one of the four
Take one person's skull
Torture another
Idk wtf Tzeentch does with killing people I guess uh shoot them with magic or something
And finally forcefully infect one with a disease that kills them
i was thinking of making them also worship (or at least acknowledge) some lesser chaos gods for the fun of homebrewing my own stuff and using irl religion concepts on them
like satanic iconography
Yeah that would be interesting
You could have the chapter also be a mix of
"I love Chaos!!!"
And
"I'm just here for the free bonus points man."

they are pretty much like that already, i wasnt thinking of making all of them especially religious or less religious
Undivided is just kinda funny to me because if you think about it
some are just more into it than others and theyre even bullied or made fun of from either side
It's kinda like
Trying to do a jack of all trades build
...God Chaos would make for a really good rogue like
which is pretty much what i kinda want to do with my warband
That’s the WB lol
It would be a really cool game idea
Actions and the build options you take grant favour
And if there's an imbalance of favour past a certain threshold
The gods just turn you into a spawn and game over lmao
Speaking of which, can you split your reverence and blessings between two or three of the chaos gods, but not all four?
Yeah I thought of it being similar to Hades
Where you basically directly ask the God for the boons
Or even just a greater Daemon representing them
But honestly this just sounds way more fun
Tzeentch barely pays you any mind, yet picks and flicks a booger at you
+2 Int
Then late game he salivates at the thought of throwing you into whatever he threw Kairos into
I can imagine this:
Each of the Chaos Gods would have a humanoid form representing themselves.
Mainly to prevent your brain from melting instantly.
Tzeentch's would constantly switch colors. Kinda imagined a hunchbacked mad scientist type design.
Khorne would be a big muscular individual sitting on the throne.
I imagined him having a strongman type physique where he's a bit "fat"
But it's mostly defined by the muscles
Because Khorne wouldn't really care about the aesthetics of bodybuilding
Slaanesh would be androgynous. Switching between two clothing designs at random. You could also have them be somewhat muscular to represent their focus on the martial arts
And Nurgle would uh
Look like your average discord mod and/or reddit admin
I always thought it would depend on riskier duo blessings
Basically you could get a mixed blessing, which would be more powerful than singular God ones
But would put you more at risk of becoming a Chaos Spawn
Oh I mean in terms of actual lore
Oh
Like are there people who worship only two or three gods?
And don't get smacked down
It’s rare
Honestly I never really heard of duo or trio worship
Look up the Witness
They either go for one or all four
This is usually how it goes lol
Oh damn he's rare rare
He even became a Daemon prince of both
Yoo I was thinking about a Khorne/Nurgle crossover too
I feel like trying to worship two would get the other two to become pissed at you
Phrynon just built different
A very synergistic combo I would think
Yeah that’s usually why it sucks lol
Since like.
If you worship just one, it's expected
Crazy luck lol
Worship two they tear you apart
Choose mf
Unless your based like Phrynon the Witness
Yeah I usually think it's because due to the "love" being shared
They have less interest to protect you from the other two
Yeah it’s harder to own you
As well
But like why would the other two have power over you any more than three would have power over you though
Bro needs to reveal his secrets on god
"Okay, Everytime I sacrifice a skull. I also shit on it to appease Nurgle."

He got fucked by both of them if I could guess, the abyssal crusade was wild stupid
Your soul is like a slinky being pulled apart
As in, if I worship only one god, why are all three remaining not mad about that, but worshipping two makes the other two mad?
Calgar apparently smashed his skull in
They aren’t mad per say
And if it's about being pulled every which way, I don't think a four way is much better
But it’s harder to balance
They balance each other out in that case
Fucking Calgar
Yeah all four in synthesis
Worshipping two is dedicating yourself between two extremes
Can’t last usually
Either way, it's funny to imagine shit like Slaanesh being Jealous that Khorne got Kharn or something
I'm not following the logic tbh
"HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!"
His daemons try to get Khârn in Wrath of Khârn lmao
Didn’t work, he killed them all
would be interesting to see a mix between nurgle and khorne powers tbh
Hmm
It just seems strange that worshipping four, who have specific dislikes towards other of the specific brothers, is a better outcome than worshipping two synergistic ones
You either go for an extreme
Or go non-committal.
Worshipping two extremes means that two aren't happy and the other two need to share.
And they fucking hate sharing.
because the others keep each other in check
To give your soul to chaos undivided is to give into the darkness of all four gods
and you don't end up punished or "rewarded" too much
To give your soul to one god is to dedicate
chaos undivided isn't worshipping all four gods it's more like fighting for chaos in general
If you give your soul to you are in limbo
It's like
A pie.
Either one gets all of the pie.
Or they get equal slices
That's a better way of putting it
If you worship two
Two get two halves of the pie
While the other two get nothing
And they're fucking hungry
Even if you don’t officially worship them your still a slave eh
No bro I'm taking their gifts freely
Because it’s also a religion sometimes anyway
Freely given and freely taken
Wow I met Scouring Perturabo today


most chaos undivided characters i can think of are csm who just really hate the imperium
its funny Perturabo is actually more calm as a Daemon Prince then he was as a Human lol
Archaon the Everchudden
GRAHH I'M SO ANGRY AT THE CHAOS GODS THAT I'M GONNA KEEP HELPING THEM!!!!
what other choice is there really
Basically he's on some serious copium
Because it's either continue trying
Or give up and realize that your efforts availed you nothing
Tbf he could try a different approach but he hates gods in general
Lorgar, Argel, Xaphen, Zardu, Erebus, Kor Phaeron, Jarulek, Marduk, Narthian, Sor Talgron, Kol Badar, Orthaon, Cerastes, Borthas, Wrack, Ekodas, Paristur, Burias, Ashkenaz, Amatnim and Eliphas 
And a different approach in his eyes
Means going from one prison to another
It doesn't matter to him
Not anymore
Peak cope lol
Those who give themselves willingly to Dark Gods are either insane or stupid generally
You'd think after destroying the fucking universe and the Chaos Gods being all happy about it.
That he would think
"I should try something different for once"

Blud would end up like the Silver Knight
Tbf he was kinda fucked from the beginning
Isn’t he Be’lakor’s son
or kaldor draigo
Yes.
But also every attempt he took to try and escape it
Including killing himself
Got reverted
He became a Templar iirc
Fuck you Sigmar should’ve told him he was a good boy or something
or forced into it
Basically he didn't really have much options
God I hope he becomes Ku’gath’s Daemonhost
bruuuuh
At least he tried killing himself
Ala my legion
I know but still
idk why draigo isn't a saint yet
To try and prevent himself from becoming what's basically the antichrist
guy does more work than saint celestine
He’s still jumping in and out of the warp iirc
So
Still better than like every primarch
He actually tried

emperor should just turn him into a champion already smh
Always got the impression that he's just being fucked with by the Chaos Gods
if kaldor draigo wasn't nerfed by the warp bullshit he'd be in the top toughest characters of the material realm
Too lazy lmao
He is probably, I bet they find him amusing
He's basically just permanently stuck being in and out of the warp for their own entertainment
Wanna spice a game up?
Kaldor Draigo
He never did lol
He kept making life worse for his sons instead
Belakor mentions Archaon actually hanging himself but he just reverted it
Wait who
Archaon or Angron
archaon
While Angron just never tried
This means that Archaon is actually better than every primarch
Can’t get off his gamer chair
To be fair Mortarion thought of shooting the Emperor when he was given the Lantern
"nothing personnel kid"
imagine all the ulcers the emperor has after sitting for ten thousand years
he ain't got shit to get ulcers over
theres no butt to ulcer left yo
bro is basically a mummy
bone ulcers
if the emperor ever wakes up
first thing he'll do is scratch fuckign everywhere

give me a sip of fucking water
He then thought of the fact the emperor might be able to read his mind and not die but also dismisses it because atp he wanted to have a father
"Please let this dad be good"
"WITH THE EMPEROR?"
"NO WAY!"
Cruising down on main stree-
Mortarion deserved better lol
"Hold on. I will try my best to be a good dad. What does a son want..."
thinking back towards thousands of years of experiences
"Ah yes! Clearly he wants to be beaten!"
A big black sword apparently
I still cannot fucking fathom some of the Emperors choices.
Angron tier parenting
Especially with Angron
how about a fucking hug
Get my leman, it’s beating time
emperor gets to be dumbest and smartest character of the setting
He has high highs, but very low lows
9999 of the shamans he was don't have the brain cell
can any character in 40K be considered a tragic anti villain?
for one, he's human so he wasn't perfect
on the other side, he made himself the big dictator and sole person responsible for the fate of humanity
Magnus and Angron borrowed their dad's parenting style
this shit is mostly on him
Perturabo went above and beyond his father

honestly he did that shit before the emps came
he was justk ind of an asshole
Sins of the father? Nah, my sins are my own
He hugged Morty for some reason lol
Seriously though can anyone in 40K be considered an anti villain?
Didn’t know Magnus was an ass to his sons, another one for the hate pile
Or would tragic villain fit their roles better?
screams at father for interrupting his gaming marathon for over 3 hours
Szarekh? He’s currently feeling overwhelming guilt and remorse for what he did. Even removed a protocol that made all the Necrons essentially his slaves
Esp when they mention why he fights, or at least why he did in the beginning
I mean he kinda left them there on prospero
while he was too busy crying
because the emperor offered to forgive him
...
crying from his one eye
but he needs to kill his legion
Oh yeah he let his legion die
Magnus inevitably made his choice and actually defended them
How silly of me
but only after the space wolves kinda uh
murdered a lot of them
a little
a little too late there
Just a little Magnus
and the nthe flesh change thing happened
and funnily enough it shows that something in the emperor's genetics causes him to do nothing wrong
why did space wolves kill thousands sons so easily anyways
is it because wizards are weak and cant lift
Idk i didn’t read much Prospero shit
Probably
Also their tutelaries turning on them
And the flesh change
Because in his arrogance, Ahriman did the whole rubric thing
And the sisters of silence
and all of their non-psyker members are now dust
It's worth noting that not all of the T.Sons were wizards
Not even non psyker lmao, a lot of the weaker librarius got screwed too
A bit hard to cast spells when you're painfully mutating
Phosis T’Kar can confirm
also the wolves had
wizards of their own
weak af
The Wolf's don't hate Psykers like most people think
But.. psykers bad, runepriests though.. they ok
Obviously, they don't have psyker in the name, can't be one 
I think orks fav factions to fight personally are
- Khorne
- Space marines
- Tyranids
- Imperial guard
- Orks
Guard should be first, they're the classic match-up
Yeah but khornes faction fights with a similar aggression and similar goal in mind
Tho, if guess khorne don't really got alot of dakka tho
It’s the HL3 stuff at game Awards all over again
night lord fans are also losing their marbles
Anybody know of a good Citadel blue/gray for this armor color
Fenrisian grey maybe?
are the datamined skitaari stuff real
Who wants to spoonfeed me lore on the 122nd Cadian regiment
Miss reading by warhammer fans that got generalised because people learn lore through memes
Russ say that Stormpriest and Runepriest are using the Warp, but inversely to how the TSons do, they approach it with caution, following eons old tradition that put safeguards to their techniques.
On the other hand, the Psyker of Prospero were the ruling cast, Psykers were able to push the pedal to the metal on their research, discarding any notion of care
Deamons were known of on all 3 planet prior to their finding by the Imperium, and only 1 saw merit to barter with them
I dont think a runepriest is accidentally opening a warp portal
Think of space wolves using a rifle to hunt and feed a family with
In that context, it’s not necessarily bad
Thousand Sons use it to change the channel because their bank robbing junkie friend says it’s a good idea
Magnus was a dick
He’d bully and rage when questioned, murder when found out
Genuinely the worst primarch
belief that its the proper way of doing it has made it a proper way lel
I’d seen some of this behaviour a little when he was having his fallout with Lorgar but I had no idea he was that bad lol
Well, it's also part of a "trial and error" evolution, many Psykers use stable techniques that are much older than their known ancestry
“No,” whispered Ahriman with sudden, instinctive clarity. “You already knew of it. When the Emperor showed you its wonders and dangers you feigned not to know, but you had already peered into its depths and seen them.”
Magnus was at his side in an instant, towering over him with his flesh and eye a seething crimson. Ahriman felt the searing heat of Magnus’ presence, realising that he had crossed a line without knowing it even existed. In that moment, he knew he understood very little about his primarch, and wished that every scrap of knowledge that had passed between them earlier could be washed away.
“Never say that again, ever,” said Magnus, his eye boring into him like a diamond drill.”
Magnus is a straight up buster
What an ass lol
In their own ways
Sanguinius was probably the closest to "good" but he had his problems too
Lmfao he left Baal an irradiated shithole
Some of them were “good” on their own worlds before the Emperor bound them with oaths and took them on his Crusade though
If Yarrick can get a revival, maybe the Fortress of Arrogance can get one too…
Thinking I'm gonna cannibalize Graves' battle bus to put the bling on a Baneblade
Based
The only based thing he ever did smh
NGL would be a funny wicked conversion…
i dont get this, gives me "girlfailure" guardsman vibes
Isnt it a chainsawman reference?
mayve yeh
It's a reference to the ending I think, so if you haven't read it yet it won't make much sense
wait chansaw man ended?
Yeah apparently the part 2 ending was so bad it caused another jujutsu kaisen lobotomy across the fandom
Where did my images go
It wasnt bad the fanbase just fucking sucks ass
Ehhh
They were expecting way too much
People are slowly realizing it was just an outburts
Give it a month and everybody will be praising it
The internet works likes a hivemind
If someone says it sucks the horde follows it
Give it enough time people will start thinking for themselves
mareus castle
AI slop
Hopefully the bubble will pop next year
SoraAI is already ending
Disney cancelled the partnership with OpenAI
Many AI servers might shut down due to the lack of funding or money they were never able to make back
"the bubble will pop guys just wait"
Let me have my copium in peace
AI bros deserve everything bad that is coming to them
Go to a more private place to do that

Except for that one openai guy who "commited suicide"
[insert gif of van almost crashing from different angles in a loop]
And likely a ground war in asia
cool ive been waiting for a fucking year

Then you get palantir vance
Nothing changes
Said the same thing during his first term, the vp is not any better than the potus.

James workshop please kill caldor draigo pleAaaase
James Workshop, nuke Krieg
James Workshop, nuke Armageddon and Krieg and Caldor Draigo
Poor guy

Last thing a Cadian saw before their dogshit planet got turned into dust
People really be hating on cadia here
Fucking hate cadia
All their inhabitants too
Why?
They're like cockroaches
Theyre everywhere, scurrying
Every single one of them should've died on that planet
Abaddon was right
Red flags from this text
Recaf how new are you to 40k
I'm no.1 Chaos supporter
Abaddon did nothing wrong, nor did Huron Blackheart
Fuck paying taxes fuck them stinking cadians
Only been into it for like....2 months kek
Then you dont understand yet. You will one day lmao
Hmmm another one of a specific Portuguese part of the parliament arrest for CP
I hate this world
Was he from a conservative party
It's called Chega
True chaos followers think alike because theyre all based
Erebus did nothing wrong (except for killing Argel Tal)
Erebus is guilty of the crime of not getting killed by Kharn
Extreme right party
So they are also homophobic and transphobic
Usual suspects
Indeed
Well that was because he got Argel Tal killed so thats his only mistake
Everything else he did was pretty based
I love it here
Lorescholars! I need your aid!
I dont understand powerfists.
Like, with a powersword it makes sense, you activate it, it gets all forcefieldy and wirry and cuts better
But i've seen a mini of a human commissar with a powerfist. No powerarmor, nothing
So at the end of the day they have limited punchforce, right ?
Beautiful.
What does the "power" add to a hunk of metal fist ?
is it zappy?
or.... does it just punch extra punchy ?
well its like a piece of power armor too, along with having the same energy coating like the swords
Okay but thats the part that confuses me
for a sword it makes sense
Like, there is this forcefield that makes it cut better
but for a fist ?
Lexicanum knows
Like.... you're still a human... you have limited punchforce
Ah
its like the space marine armor, its got the tech that makes your punches stronger
So basically like "what if my fist were a shotgun"
AOS is the best community
its like if a hammer could also shatter on a molecular level


Okay. Now its starting to make sense
Yeah when you see “power” assume some sort of energy flowing through the tech
Powerfists are kind of funny because its gigantic boxing gloves with a powerfield
its like you put it on something sharp itll cut better, put it on a fist theyll crush better
What I still dont quite get is how does a power FIST that literally just encapsulates your lower arm at best "enhance strength" ?
Last sentence
power armor for just your arm
Okay yeah i get that. But i mean... wait, let me find the mini
Technology in 40k doesn't necessarily make much sense always, it's a lot of rule of cool
The power fist is attached into an exoskeleton basically
So the servor gears on it make you punch with more strength
And the powerfield cuts anything on your way
Yeah they only have pseudo explications because theyre not meant to make sense
Only to look cool
There's technologicaly mcguffins inside that make you hit harder don't worry about it
Okay XD
yeah thats prob more just a stylistic choice
They are pulling a middle earth lmao
Anything that tries to explain something in 40k is purely pseudo science
It doesnt make sense it just is
but it def makes you punch harder
Look at this for example
Like, if it encapsulates her whole arm i would be able to wrap my mind around it
Ah yes... Khorne marine fused to a demonengine ?
Chaos is a special kind of.... creative
Yes
But how does it function realistically
It doesnt
Yeah...
W
Its pure rule of cool
If it has any sort of explanation is purely fake scientific pseudo shit
It you dont understand how it works, look at what it does and not how its made to work
Na it's a huge daemon engine
theres an idea of science behind it
Because then nothing will be functioning in 40k
Yeah... my mind just immediately goes "I wanna understand how that would work"
hehe
This daemonengine is funny to me because its just a vehicle in the shape of a guy holding guns
so sometimes that can be a little frustrating
Just don't try to use real life as comparison
Look at the lexicanumm and see how it works
Just don't try to comprehend it
Because its not real
Theres always shit like that in 40k
"This terminator armor is different because it has special gear that makes it move faster" while other books might say its impossible
It just is
Yeah, fair enough.
remember theres an entire faction of humans that pray for their machines to work too
And it fucking works like a charm
Well at least most of the tine
Powerarmor is easy to understand though, that makes the fist so frustrating. Like, in a full armor there are servos and it basically behaves like an exoskeleton of sorts, enhancing the users movements. Then there is a fist. JUST a FIST. And it somehow does the same just for the arm ? Not even a full armpiece. Nope, just the fist

Its really not that deep man
XD
Big fist look cool
lol
Rule of cool
theyd have to call it a power arm but its too late to change it ig
theyre asking how the servos could make you punch harder if its just a fist though
Because it does
What
just how it works
Basically, the powerfist states that it "enhances the users strength". But where does that strength come from ? Like in your gif, the force of a punch comes from the arm movement. But a powerfist reaches up the forearm at most. Thats what I got hung up on.
But yeah, rule of cool
The person punching it idfk
Not gonna wreck my brain too much over it XD
Yeah because authors don't really think about every aspect of shit they make up
They just say it does and it works
Some times they also apply the "not even the mechanicus knows how it works, it just does"
Don't wrap your head around it too much its fictional land
Spaceships have souls and emptions
Who cares
Its strengthening by connecting to the power armour and powering it I think?
Power scythes are better anyway
Speculation land
Someone go to Warhammer World and ask Titus Warhammer please
power fists use a displacer field
we said that already
don care
Yep. And that got clarified ^^ ty
basically fisticuffs shotgun
I punch and you disintegrate
but yeah its a bit silly lol
also the enhanced strength
also already said
im pretty sure punching someone with a metal glove hurts like hell
like someone running faster because their feet have power armor it doesnt make too much sense
Tbh
def more a stylistic choice to not cover the entire arm
we have people IRL who could crush the front of your face with a punch
now imagine them having a metal glove
lmao
fair 
Behead postehaste
Yeah its dogshit until you upgrade it
average SM2 L

up there with the machine gun Glock bolters
I wonder if ogryns could get powerfists in darktide. That would be kinda sweet
nah
They have them on Necromunda so probably
wait really?
depends on what GW allows + FS wants to add
i thought powerfists were too valuable to be wasted on ogryns
They still won't add skins for hive scum and arbites
everything is "too valuable" to be wasted until a miniature needs it
WHERE IS MY GENESTEALER CULT SKIN GW
blame GW
Isn't that more like a whole augmetic arm than a power fist
it says powerfist in the rulebook
huh
ngl thats more an augment for the slave ogryn faction on necromunda
alright
bionic arm powerfist
it literally says powerfist in the rulebook
lol
lmao yeah, power fists were a mining too
mining three

🫵
their arms are interchangable in lore, so like "you are getting a drill dumbass, now tomroorw you get a arm"
UN FORRESTERO
🗣️
LMAO
nothing stands against the humble bitch ass axe
wrong axe dingus!
oh my god bruh
I CANT FIND IT
but yeah the one on the mini is in the game too
its the combat axe
WDYM CANT FIND IT
ITS IN THE SHOP
FUCK
NO THATS THE SAME AXE

i guess they give htem to outriders to defend themselves whiel they go ore surverying
its funny that "fuckin we need to find more ore, give these guys some bikes nad hope they find something" is commone nough on planets that its a common gsc archetype
i was gonna say "why would they arm their employees" but then i realize its porbably cheaper to give them an axe than to replace the bikes
see guys, the imperium is moral :3
they arm their employees before sending them to the alien desert
god i love this thing, it looks liek it getting killed with it will decrease your land value 10 fold
Every civilian vehicle we have specific detailed knowledge of is a mining vehicle for surveying or tunnel work

yeh i know it comes from codex gsc lmao
if GW releases a gsc skin or just a gsc head i will redownlaod darktide and gvie them my credit card info
Lowk might get the spearhead
I think this guy looks neat
bro has no idea where he is
Didn't even include the cogforts
My God these things look cool
AOS legit came in at the end and as usual shoved 40k's head into the toilet
Old one looks way more fun
Idk those new guard models are fucking amazing like genuinely
What models
armaghetto?
The vehicles and killteam
Nah they are cool
like out of the 40k miniatures even with my ork bias the only one that really genuinely tickles my brain is this guy like sure the other ones are cool but like there's just something with Wazdakka gutsmeks
kill team is an exception to the rule
Legally distinct Tanith
They genuinely knocked it out of the park with the guy
This is fire too
Oh yeah most definitely he's actually my favorite of the human reveals
Close enough, welcome back Sir Hammerlock
Lord Solar proxy just dropped
Yeah but problem is lord solar is too fundamental
He can order tanks
Most HQ cant
oh i forgot 40k lists rn arent allowed to have fun
Its just an oversight in my earnest opinion
can, hero in tank not order tanks?
Lord solar is too strong to not use
He can but lord solar orders 3 units every turn
ah
Keyword units meaning anything
Tank commander can only order vehicles iirc
Im actually really stoked for these
Centaur will be a meme with heavy weapons teams if it gets firing deck
god thats gonna look so good as brood brothers
Mid
Unmid
give it to the genestealers
another playground toy for my forgefiends
Once i finish angels of death im watching sopranos
I'd have sacrificed these for a Salamander refresh but here we are
i agree for the truck tbh

Mind you this was the only other fucking transport besides chimera
Thing is hideous
Not so bad if you give it wheels
Agreed
taurox have hideous stats
wai tseriousLy?
i thought all the tanks had transport
Stormlord
nah that's space marines and their chaos fellas
There's also the Gorgon but it's legends shit
who cares if it's legend
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It's also dumb expensive because it's a forgeworld kit
recasts
I love when imperial stuff especially space marine vehicles go to legend
I love that I bought a baneblade and it will never see a game of 40k
