There is 1 faction in tow that isn’t white because it’s literally China
yea tho cathay is just lazy
literally just china lol
dilara diss track when
Xiping Impressed
🇨🇳
I love fantasy. Having more than one human faction is wonderful.
glory to chinese omerta
Triad
the only warhammer minis I buy are CHINESE
I saw people get mad about a warhammer community post showing tow kitbashes from the gw team because they painted people black
Ind, Araby, Not-Japan
not even on those showcases lol
Literally zero lore or tabletop models
Araby had lore and models
Not for Not-Japan
Recaf for the love of all don’t get into the old world
and samurai clans
And Stone dog or something
Play AOS like a sane person
and samurai clans named after japanese car companies
I just remember there being some 🤷
We talking about the Chinese warriors that change into literally Chinese dragons?
no
I mena there is one
At least look up old Japanese warlords and go from there...
Chathain?
Tbf, aren't those car companies named after old noble families ?
Some are
Nippon was the name wasn’t it?
Uhhhh the new one, patriarch of delusion?
Some are upstarts
They also worship the at the time's GW designer's car, an Orange Simca
Thanks I’m very delulu anyway
They should blow up, i think
I’ll get a BL link
Thank
No problem
Oh yeah @civic gale you liek lizard me right?
They are bad ass (and got a new book) in AOS
And got a model refresh
Oh cool
Yes
And the Black Rage
They are two unrelated things for some reason lol
they just are that Cool™ lol
This class is a shitshow the guy has nothing set up. GRIM.
Bangles are cursed mutants who should be massacred
Agreed
“Ah yes I e gave the red thirst and the black rage and we have the best psykers and the best duelist”
tbh the Black Rage spawned from Sanguinius getting backshots from Horus
Vile description
Why didn’t iron warriors get a black rage
They probably did it before guys why the crashout
But accurate
they are based
Oh that reminds me I never read that fic last night
Lmao
What's that one?
The “I gotta kill horus” disease
They get so fucked pissed and see everyone as Horus and become more or less WE Berzerkers
Actual peak fucking gif
yeah, gonna shove it up your ass 👀
They then get sent to Death Company to die
legit excited to see how they butcher that narrative
they are 100% gonna make it "MUH TRAGIC IMPERAIL FIST GAVE UP THEIR LIVES"
or some shit
Average IF fan trying to rebutal:
Written by John French
Sincerely hope it makes the iron sloppers and ass fisters look like morons
MUH SIGISMUND
SIGISMUND OMG
AUUUGH SIGISMUND
IM SIGISMUNDING
great, shut the fuck up
Whomst
I do find it funny the Black Templar founding myth is a guy was so annoying he was given a sword and told to kill things until he died and then he didnt
You seem particularly joyous this morrow
Raise your hand if you like hazard stripes. Raise your hand if you painted hazard stripes
Oh that guy
wdym "joyous" its literally what they do
thats the thing tho
its not shown that way
they write it where its "HEROIC"
Self lobotomy
"Erm it was a special mission outside the walls of Terra" ☝️ 🤓
yeah you
Swear to god if they make it so it wanst a one sided massacre but instead the IF doing some heroic shit imma crash out
LITERALLY lmao
They will.
HH has been nothing but loyalist wank
Scouring will be the same
Nah, they can't have the smurfs bailing them out if the fists actually do stuff
I sigismunding it!!!
Flashbacks to Abaddon giving him backshots
Imagine its chaos wank the whole time
Ashes of the Imperium was pretty legit for the chaos side
How do 40k fans keep a straight face when every plot somehow devolves into chaos randomly appearing to artificially inflate the stakes
Just wait for SM3 to have the Death Guard show up in the middle of the necron story
I hope to god they make the IF miserable as fuck. I need that chapter to suffer.
Alongside the IH.
Chaos fans love to do this irl too
Another 20 trillion drafted Necromundans for the Imperial Fists
Is it true lamentors are just unlucky?
Same shit with Joker just showing up on every single Batman story
Chaos and Imperium are forever enemies
my favorite part with Sigismund is like
people ask WHY hes such a talented swordsman
and the netire thread was
"hes just that good"
They're more just stupid as hell
amazing writing
He's just that good
Dumbass
He's built different
Man...
"ILL TELL YOU WHAT A GOLDMINE IS, THOSE HORUS HERESY BOOKS!"
Every war has it's hammer, Horus Heresy 🗣️
He's just that guy - the narrative
"ABADDON ONLY WON BECAUSE SIGISMUDN WAS OLD"
Even when hes dead they cant stop wanking this guyh
holy shit man
Isn't there a book about a commissar that just finds himself in dumb situations that he didn't wanna be in?
Wait until you find out about the god of the Imperium
the Emperor was set up that way
Sigismund is just wank in every scene
First of all, I won't allow anyone to say Ciaphas Cain without the title 'Hero of the Imperium'
They shit like this as if Abaddon couldnt kill a custodes singlehanded
Blowjobber of the Imperium*
Ayo?
Tau malding
And they call me the freak
Dilara is aggressive today damn
Lose where, lose where 🗣️
Somewhat yeh
At your bedroom idk
be one of the biggest cowards in 40k
somehow his cowardice makes him do impossible feats
is considered the hero
Peak
Literally the same plot in every book btw
I mostly hung around the general chat before I got into actual lore
wait i forgot
Cheapeto is a guardphile
nvm dont engage with him, guy is brainwashed
Cope
Nope
"guardphile"
I wish every Guard fan a terrible week
Ah cara fudeu
Otário!!!
I don't have a sororitas shirt yet
Imperial Gooner
"man that's fucked" in Portuguese
Rude
And also the randomly fucking people of power as well
hes the peak definition of a white protagonist
basically Flash Gordon lol
I know theyre bringing him back one day but I wish they kill him off before Yarrick
Would be so funny
tbh Cain is entirely irrelevant in modern 40k
so hes prob gonna appear later for some promo
He's 100% self-concious because he's like "I'M A HUGE CIWARD SO SELFISH" and then does brave things constantly, even sometimes to no benefit for himself
me btw
that would be fine if it was explored not just a boring trope every 15 books
"We're the true backbone of the Imperium!!!! We can actually beat space marines very often with our big brains!!!"
On repeat
Kill all guard fans imo
Z-zoinks scoob I'm such a scaredy cat, copy-paste villain of the week is right there
LITERALLY yes
such a boring character
just get rid of the imperium at this point
read actual commissars like Yarrick or Raine
my favorite part is how hard thye try to also make Cain a good guy
because we just cant have our Guard protagonists do evil shit
lmao
God forbid a book tackle another genre outside criticism of the modern political thing(tm)
The crime of the Cain books is being dead boring more than anything
Being evil is a "modern political thing"?
Also god forbid we want our readers to use their brain
instead of applauding for space wehrmacht lol
White man who sleeps with all the hot ladies and do heroic shit after trying to run away because hes a coward and being the only plot trough all his novels is not that interesting
LMAO
yeah Cain is nothing but the same jokes every day
also watch him do whataboutism
Then again I'd sell the same book umpteen times if I could ig
White man this, white man that, it wouldn't make the series a bestseller if they made Cain a minority now, would it?
Ding ding ding called it 
Read like a book
I mean have you seen how people react to black characters on 40k book covers

Give me an actual commissar who is an fascist piece of shit and also decent at his job like Yarrick or don't talk to me
Mention Cain next to me I'll blow your brains out
Cain
Sevarina Raine
Hesh from the new Death Rider book
hes my all-time favorite commissar i think
Hesh, based Katarin, Hasp
^
the author really understood how to humanize yet still keep Commissars evil
Hesh's entire mindset is "I must kill hundreds to save thousands"
Hesh is up there near the top spot for me, definitely
you'll deffo like Death Rider
its a very miserable and non-glorious guard book
but still a very funny read
why hate guard when we have based Jopall
Not much of a genuine reason to actually hate any faction as much as I joke around, try to see the cool bits in any of them imo
Its literally just Tau for me and its less dislike and more "Im just not interested"
id prob be more into them if i read on em but uh my brain is as loaded as it is, but id never hate them outright like a moron
Yeah I only say shit like this for jokes
Its just some that I'm not interested or doesn't seem worthy for me to get into
Phil Kelly didn't really help on selling them as interesting either lol, Elemental Council did heavy lifting somewhat
As long as the mechs stay away I genuinely like the Tau
Orr was a very cool character, would like to see more Tau in that vein
For me is the Tau and Thousand Sons tbh
One is fish people and the other one is space fent in suit of armor
Tau are camels 🤓
I struggle the most with Tyranids, there's cool bits but euch
I want to learn more bout nids as well but theyre just kinda confusing
Very interesting faction tho
Me like GSC a lot as well
Nids are very simple
you just play them because big monsters
prob the most simple 40k faction lol
Big bugs that eat stuff
they have a lot of infantryslop as well
thats space marines
no
space marines are not a horde army
infantryslop is so cool
I mean in trying to better understand the hive mind and synapse connection bit
Plus GSC hierarchy
We're so cool...
bloatunits
basically only a few specific creatures act as node creaturs that spread the psychic connection to more brainless ones, thats it
GSC hierarchy is also very easy
the chart itself is on lexi iirc
think of them as walking killer wifi modems
All I know is patriarch acts as a beacon for the hive and also he kinda controls the cult like a mini version of a hivemind
Yeah its the sole leader
Unironically this helped me a lot to understand the synapse thing
Here.
you can see uh
why people think GSC is very cool lol
they are VERY intricate
They would be so much cooler to me if they weren't so intrinsically tied to Tyranids, fire GW for this insult
Wdym
I think i know what he means
It's a nitpick but I find their ties to the tyranids a bit boring is all
but i wanna hear it first
bro just wants a construction workers faction
boring in what way
U wanted them to be completely separated from nids despite being created by them?
Boring is perhaps the wrong word, it's that I struggle to like the tyranids and they're tied to the tyranids. I know they can just leave before the planet gets eaten but w/e
GSC could so cool if they werent bad blooded midgets with huge heads
I guess?
Thats satire, its suppose to represent the fuck-ugly nerd playerbase
aka us

true
The chudling playerbase
For personal tastes I'd like it if it was just some predatory alien strain instead, but it is a nitpick
I dont have cool explosives and cool bikes
nor do I have cool buzzsaw trucks n shit
I hate C4 stratagems and remote explosives
the local model store has a second hand GSC army mixed with some necromunda stuff
and all their heads are replaced with skulls

bomb the infrastructure now, coward
I hate working at a call center
GSC killed one of my daemon engines with C4 and a net gun, I will not forgive this offense
LOL
That's the Kellermorph riding it
I like to think tyranids as cockroaches
Legolas could just do that
more like
goes to date a tyranid player
goes to their apartment
"THIS HOE GOT GAUNTS IN HER CRIB"

Live gaunt reaction
tyranids and death guard (especially nurgle demons) are very popular with ladies for some esoteric reason
so its accurate
Girls like ugly monsters
so are the NL
this is a reminder WH40k is a work of fiction
The female brain needs ugly genociding chud creature to fall in love with
now thou raise the question
WH40K is a work of fiction because british people are still a thing during the 42 millennium
WH40k is a work of fiction because the emperor of mankind is a turkish man
Are you implying turks can't be men?
absolutely
False, he doesn't have a moustache
this is why he is often referred to as the false emperor
loser
Is that a necron?
be quicker next time
Ctan
Oh my bad
one of their stinky gods
wait
Interesting
tHESE ARE FROM KIRK???
kirk just gained a lot of visibility with most recent american elections
these have been around for years too, i never knew until he got shot
well tbh i never even knew he existed until he got shot
but still
The homies are not paying attention smh
Imperial Saint btw
Still kinda insane this is gonna be his legacy from now on
he's the reason for it tbh
^
Oh yeah 100% but it's still kinda hilarious
Millions laughed at when he died, millions more laugh at memes made using his face
and his wife fucking celebrated his death by trying to acquire everything that was his
Shhhh
because uh "they bombed the towers"
reminder that this is the same guy that said "empathy is bad"
the bell tolls for thee lol
dude is a perfect example of consequences what he preached allegedly leads to
As far as the official story goes
Yeah lmao
that isnt even going into the rabbit hole that this was maybe a Lee Oswald situation
fuckiest thing of this situation is i can never again act normal when someone has "Kirk" in their name
hell nah im being mystery jew reacted
Ogryn
like the guy who writes Invincible being named Kirkman
I agree
man like cmon
See I prefer ogryn
now you can't watch star trek and take captain kirk seriously (you have yet to watch star trek seriously)
Ill probably never watch Star Trek
Stalin moment
Defiler has a lot more head options than I thought
Oi cool
Why is he jerking off
Not the Emperor's Soyjaks
chestnut burr head on the right
Why aren't you?
to make fun of these type of invincible comic edits
Probably my favorites
The imperial fists just activated the last wall protocol to reform the legion
Also looks like Wolfers mask
Dorns returning, there’s no way he isn’t
it's a reference to the old defiler skull mask
Don’t speak nonsense
also is this 4th Tyrannic War related?
It’s right now
I speak Russense, not Dornsense
Against Perturabo
Lmao
No
"MY SONS, I HAVE RETURNED"
"YAY, OUR FATHER IS BACK"
"TO FINISH MY WAR WITH PERTURABO"
"Oh no our father is back..."
DORN IS COMING
Dorn can return to the fucking dirt
"GUYS DORN IS COMING BACK"
All quiet on the happening front
Daddy Dorn is on his way
Back to bitch slap Bitchurabo again
Dorn returns, time to order all of his sons to kill themselves again for no reason
If Dorn comes back, I hope to God they make him wanting to get back at Perturabo like Perty was during HH
And have Perturabo not giving a fuck anymore
the switch would be so funny
The only time Perturabo ever beat Dorn is when Dorn acted like Perturabo and Perturabo acted like Dorn
That's literally what Dorn is doing in the first scouring book, he's going apeshit around the palace about it then acts surprised the Senate decided to back Guilliman instead
^
Based Dorn
Guilliman didn’t carry the defence. He has no place to make demands.
I hope they keep it like this and make Perturabo just acting
"You already lost, Dorn. I do not care for you."
peter is at least 5 meters taller than dorn now
Funny name
Dorn has more defeats over Perturabo at this point tbh
D: "I remember you, brother"
P: "I don't lol"
whats he gonna do, imperial his fist ?
this iron slop fist slop nonsense is never going to end it'll be the death of me
or fist the emperor ?
IW literally get one win one time against dorns multiple wins and they don’t shut up about it lol
Dorn has literally never beat Perturabo
I wanna play Pokemon
Siege of Terra. Perturabo couldn’t beat Dorn and ragequit like a baby.
False
Pollux also outsmarted and beat Perturabo
He did punch Garro in the face for bringing him the bad news, that's about it
Also false
Perty left not because of Dorn but because of the other traitor primarchs actinglike dipshits
dorn didn't play it fair
Common IW L
yeah yeah
Common Imperial Fist revisionism
Sounds like a quitter
we'll talk when IF'll get new models
Isn't Dorn one of the few Primarch killer ?
Lose every major engagement, go extinct 40 times, claim victory
Life as an Imperial Fist
I’m DA/NL homie. I just know Dorn is based and Perturabo is a crybaby because his dad didn’t love him.
The IF cope
didnt perturabo kick dorns ass so much that he could not fight with his army for like 17 years or something
The 40k in Warhammer 40k stands for how many times the Imperial Fists have went extinct
Because they suck
Bait
Nearly go extinct once actually hombre
1st & 2nd edition space marines are commonly painted as Imperial Fists, this is a reference to Imperial Fists being a discontinued legion
"I have my whole life ahead of me"
WRONG. THE SIEGE IS COMING.
I hope Dorn does come back, then immediately dies and doesn't get a model
Common chaos fan L mentality
I wish Konrad would return
cry some more loyalist, you are hydrating me
I miss him so much
I am a Fallen, chaos slave. Imagine fighting the imperium and needing the help of chaos. Become a renegade like the based Angels.
cool I suppose
"N-No, guys. This is for our survival against a fascist empire!" soyjack mentality vs "Yeah, I'm evil. What you're gonna do abou it?" chad
"My sons are too loyal to me that they would never follow my orders, so I must order them all to kill themselves so that they will follow my orders" Rogal "Dumbfuck" Dorn
Imagine hating chaos and your dad becomes a chaos demon
Based
Whatever, get in the forgefiend
The Luther doesn’t concern himself with chaos slaves.
oh, a Night Lords fan!
Sevatar needs to return real talk
My flayer king
Well Prince because Konrad is king
never met the guy
Imagine unironically liking Cumrag Curse
Imagine calling Perturabo a whiney baby, while liking Curze
He is the WORST <3
Curze is mentally ill so he has an excuse. Perturabo is a crybaby just because his dad doesn’t show him love.
nah perturabo is sick of his brothers being idiots
The second height of technology with a uber powerful psyker dad and you are telling me Curze was refused the help he needed with his mental health? Unbelievable.
Angron
Eldrad literally tells Jimmy he can fix him
That means the emperor accepting help from Eldar and so it’s basically not even an option.
He literally did it before lol
We’re talking mr space kill everything except my race here
When?
and then the Eldar are integral in fixing G-man, perfectly closing the loop
Emperors dead af tbh he can’t exactly stop them
yeah but one imagines him seething
Send me the lex on the emperor getting help from Eldar I’ve never heard of this story.
They've been pen pals for a while and worked in tandem at certain plot points in the story, Eldrad tells Guilliman about it in Armour of Fate
I’ll need to read it
Lowkey never thought the emperor would not be a total xeno genocide guy
FYI this "eldar helped them" shit is like all passing sentences with zero context that existed beforehand.
Its never mentioned ever again lol
It's not the whole of eldar as much as it's just Eldrad fucking around
Then again it's never expanded on either because GW hates writing eldar stories
Yeah its still out of nowhre and makes zero sense
tho it was hilarious when farseer nastasse pulled Gman out of fighting Szarekh
because uh quote
"Hes gonna fucking kill you"

god that book is so weird
the Necrons are written so well but the entire novel is just a waste of time shithole lol
actually nvm thats the entirety of Dawn of Fire
Wolftime
We had so many people that we warned read that on bookclub
then a week later they were traumatized
genuinly hilarious
tbh its also like
THE ERA IT COVERS
IS ALREADY OVER
WE KNOW EVERYTHING
like the last novel is literlly fucking setting up Cawl going to that dead tyranid world to get his mcguffin
AND THAT BOOK CAME OUT YEARS AGO
ITS DONE ALREADY
Why were they traumatized
It’s dogshit
Wolfshit
Truth nuke
Its
just
BORING
"WE'LL NEVER ACCEPT PRIMARIS"
"WOLFWOLFWOLFWOLF"
"LEMON RUST"
"WOLFWOLFWOLFWOLF"
"Oh okay we'll accept primaris"
Oh also like half the SW are like horrifically out of character lol
But who gives a shit
Ah lmao
But yeah, Peter Turbo > Robot Boring at the end of the day to settle the matter
earf
supa urf

Would you peel your GFs scabs off if she asked
You wouldn't?
With my teeth
Soloed the Hive Tyrant completely solo no bots
smh space marine supremacy, we guys are th best
🚬
I still keep trying to force myself to play that game so i can play dressup lole
I play it for fun and dress-up, I have a lot of fashion images
Got 25 pictures of all my looks
Yeah I have prestiged one (1) class lole
All my classes are full prestige
But wait…. Emperor is not…. le Space Hitler after all?
Is this a new model
No
I like Spess Mehreens overall i think
Smh I'd say I'm cracked since I only play at the highest difficulty (absolute) but I still take damage and get downed every now and again
Ratio
Space Marine Pusher
That's literally everyone in Necromunda
Yeah munda supremacy
Of course, Proctor. Whatever you say. Can I have my bionic legs back or should I just crawl for my next shift at the orphan smelter?
Necroavivmunda impressed?
So he's a Carcharadon...?
no because they got gear
👎
This also applies to Night City
Helmawrahu?
I'm going to my Union rep he was right this is bullshit I'm painting my house purple
This still has to be one of my favorite models that I can never get
Palatine Impressed
Helmawr executs all Humans equally so he's doing better
terrible
This model rizzes up everyone
So much aurafarm
I love how they used the exact same pose and proportions for Titus
Bleak needs to copy Peak
space marine fans starving after 1 hour of no mini releases
Would be peak if 11e doesn't mention the smurfs at all
Space marines fans when the helmet changes slightly
It still looks dogshit compared to the old mk7
Yeah the mouth is half dome shaped instead of rounded arrow tip shaped
Palatine Enforcers be like
"We gave warnings before we nuked that entire hab-sector"
They at least contain it to the sector and not the entire city like the IDF
Imperium 1 - 0 Israel
my favorite part is like "they give warnings-"
YOU ARE BOMBING
A FUCKING CITY
WHERE PEOPLE NEED TO GO TO JOBS
OR CANT JUST LEAVE THEIR HOMES
actual psychopaths
My favorite is during the Great Rift when they seal people inside their hab-blocks or factories or wherever the hell they were at the time and then forgot about em for a few months
Same, its so funny
that entire "darkness" temporary period is so good
i was shocked by how good the writing was of that entire rulebook
Breaking holonews: Necromundan authorities refuse shelter to Imperial Fists astartes as the Aranthian Succession war rages outside
One running gag we had in a Necromunda campaign once was the Hive was so poor the Palanite Enforcer player would just declare everything was a fine. He would mutter "Fine for littering" while resolving getting blown up by a grenade
Are the new CSM models on the codex app yet?
this is what gets me
you can use this 1:1 for 40k
and its seamless
I read this as Palpatine Imperessed and wondered why he didn't look like a testicle
Fine fuckit I'll make Necromunda mentioned too 
I like that Lord Helmawr is basically Napoleon but undergoing an even worse Chudification
I parodied a few of Trump's speeches as a joke for the context of my IM campaign lmao, it really does fit
like i said SEAMLESS lol
"The promethium prices are better than ever, perhaps the best in the last millennia, ask my aides and officials they'll uh they'll tell you all about it."
Duke Severus has long been known as a master of hymnal manipulation and public relations. He is militarily ineffective and weak, but is really good at 'feeding' the very appreciative heretical news false information. Now, abominable intelligence has become another disinformation weapon that the Dominate uses, quite well, considering they are being anihilated by the day. They showed phony 'fire cruisers,' shooting at various ships in the void, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these cruisers don't exist - it's all false information to show houw 'tough' their already defeated military is! The five Battlefleet Calixis Troop Transports that were supposedly struck and badly damaged, according to the Hyperian Quotidian's false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon cross the void. Bases and voidships that are shown to b e on fire are not - It's HERETICAL NEWS, generated by abominable intelligence. For instance, the Severan Dominate, working in close coordination with the Heretical News, shows our great Fist of Adamant, one of the largest and most prestigious ships in the Sector, burning uncontrollably in the orbit of Hervara. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at - the Dominate knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly HERETICAL and, in a certain way, you can say that those heretical outlets that generated it should be brought up on charges of HERESY and TREASON, for the dissemination of false information. The fact is, the Severan Dominate is being decimated, and the only battles they 'win' are those they create through abominable intelligence, and are distributed by secessionist news outlets. The venial noble houses of Calixis knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That's why their approval rating is so low, and I can win another Crusade appointment, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive noble approval - They have no credibility! I am thrilled to see Marius Hax - Calixis Sector Lord, looking at the accusations of some of these corrupted and highly disloyal 'noble' houses. They get billions of Thrones of FREE imperial voxwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in news and almost all of their pictgraphs, including the Late Night Sermons, who get gigantic salaries for horrible ratings, and never get, as I used to say in De Tactica, 'EXECUTED.' Thank you for your attention to this matter! Lord General Militant ARMIG GHANZORIK.
LMFAO
Holy wall of text 
FUCK
like
remove the caps lock just so people dont notice and NO ONE would relaise this is some shit Orange man said
Funniest Trump lore is finding out he doesnt type those, he has a TEAM of people on laptops that listen to him as he dictates it to them while watching the news. They decide what gets capitalized and accentuated
Oh my god dude
Thank you for your attention to this matter 🗣️
Like he watches the news at the end of a conference table and without looking away he just says completely deadpan "She looks horrible in that dress, how sad" and two interns send it out
yeah it explains the tweet-nature of the posts
like most of them are just "what the fuck are you talking about"
I wonder how fast the Defilers will sell out
and before I get lazy and miss it, the preorders go live at 1pm est tomorrow right?
Smh why can’t the world use the superior timezone of EDT/EST
I think you mean 10 pm GMT
10 am GMT in EST is 5am

Wait that’s still not it
Probably different schedules entirely, it's 10 am for the brits and 11/12 for europeans
Did these samples all by my self
these have been dead for 5 years
so that's for work ? hobby ?
Lab work
Likely story...
Will we ever get a story from the tyranid hive mind perspective?
I imagine it’s just a lot of screaming
How would that even work tbh?
best you get is Long Hungry Road short story
the best way to do a Hivemind POV is to have some central protagonist faction dealing with an invasion with very regular secondary chapters from a Hivemind perspective
its doable its just that no one does it
It would of been told from the perspective of the hive lord
Who controls all the tyranids
John Tyranid
Making the hivemind the narrator
Why don't you come here and make me.
Im lazy and watching Atunshei
lap it up ponygoer
Plamsma
Plasmoid
I was gonna make Necromunda mentioned gif in the vein of Mao Hello Chat but this is much better
Elaborate
Well I mean that sounds very interesting actually
They’re literally sentient and sapient
Billy jean
All the Tyranid synapse creatures are
And their minds(might) be recycled for all of them
They’re definitely recycled for Hive Tyrants
But it’s unclear if it’s done so for lesser synapse creatures
The synapse?
Certain nids are sentient.and sapient?
Why?
Synapse is how the hivemind exerts its will on the more idiotic/animalistic tyranids
Serve as command nodes and are more specialized
You can’t have a literal animal do delicate infiltration work
Or come up with a strategy to attack something on the spot
ye
Now write it and get it published by games workshop creator of ideas
nah im good
I mean if Wolftime got approved...
So who and what are usually synapses? Also do they exist as an excuse to give nids named characters as well?
no lol
^
Forgetting Old One Eye smh
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Synapse
Synapse is the Tyranid Psychic Power which unites all of the Tyranids into the Hive Mind.[1]
Synapse is projected by Synapse Creatures which are usually leaders such as Hive Tyrants, Tyranid Warriors and Broodlord or specialist psykers like Zoanthropes. These creatures have greatly increased synapse networks within their cortex and these act as psychic conduits for the Hive Mind to order nearby troops. Without the Synapse guiding them, most Tyranids will revert to a feral state, although some, such as Genestealers with their Brood Telepathy, can perform just as well without Synapse as they do with it.[1][2]
Yeah I just looked at all their miniatures on Warhammer.com I was wrong im sorry for my stupid question
Known Tyranid synapse creatures not turned into one via a Norn Crown are
Broodlords, Dominatrix, Hive Tyrants, Maleceptor, Neurogaunt Nodebeasts, Neurolictor, ravener primes, Tervigons, Tyranid Warriors, Zoanthropes, Neurothropes
The funny norn Crown is a way the hivemind divised getting around everyone's strategy of "shoot the synapse creature" by implanting a parasitic entity inside the skull of another tyranid
which then turns that tyranid into a synapse creature
most notably its been done with carnifex's and gaunts
Oh ok, so a synapse creature is usually a nid with a
its basically a walking wifi modem
Hm this is very wow
But like
yeah the synapse is like
literally wifi in a sense
I had a nid player call his synapse creatures 5g towers
Why not just use biological warfare then
Just realized the translation of The Stranger i'm reading was translated by Matt Ward
Consider this: there have been lore records of Tyranids surviving Nurgle shit
So do you think bio warfare from humans would work
We can't just have a war of the worlds moment and just infect with with covid 40,000?
"My favorite."
My favorite
they adapt
They'll adapt to it and use it on you
lol
its why the imperium really doesn't want to use biological agents against tyranids until they have literally no other option
That's nasty
because 99% of the time it goes horrifically wrong
The only way to defeat Nids is to either
- Wage war on them with HUGE forces (this rarely ever happens unless its a big warzone)
- The Fleet you are facing is small enough to intercept and destroy (this is usually the explanation when Imps need a win)
the moment a Hive Fleet makes planetfall its usually game over
you forgot the third option
bullshit wonder weapon shit out for a codex entry
See: the funny Tau bio acid aids plague mcdeath
and also the Imperial version of that
lol yea
There is one story about an Ad Amech dude who defeated a Tyranid fleet by setting the atmosphere on fire.
Now, the Ad Ad Mech codex makes it a case of Ad Mech being stupid and sealing that guy’s victory away in a secret vault.
But consider the reverse.
(1) The Tyranids evolve to become fireproof.
(2) The Hive Mind learns to set atmosphere on fire…
For once Ad Mech hogging all knowledge might have actually done some good.
My favorite.

they didnt hog it
they stored that strategy in a data-lbirary
and lost it
LMAO
That skitarii alpha prime put so much effort into making that plan
also yeah they just fucking lost it
in the data vaults of mars
^
that shit is never being found again except entierly by accident
Well ok they lost it, but still, might be better remaining lost, considering Tyranids.
also the conditions to set the atmosphere on fire
were pretty special
the nids had a ton of spores in atmo + the atmo was super fucking polluted
and full of **o i l **
but yeah the fact they lost it is yet another admech moment
How do you just evolve to become fireproof when they face bullets and melee weapons all the time, did they evolve to become 100% bullet proof as well? Like what?

Yes
You are genuinely confused in a setting that a creature can evolve into fireproof and bullet resistant?
also yeah this lol
This is warhammer for all you know there's a literal world out there where there are giant monsters that breed fire
there are even giant dinosaurs capable of humbling titans in this shit
Whenever tyranids become completely resiliant to something
it usually costs more biomass to do
or causes other issues
it can be exploited
Tch oh ma God bro, that wasn't the point at all
But the issue is by the time you can try you've usually been attritioned down to fucking nothing
lol
What are you even trying to say
Yeah rhats what i was thinking
Like
but you don't need to become completely resistant
not with the scale tyranids are working at
They were implying that fire can never be used on them again
Cause now they evolved to be immune
Flip-flops from hivefleet to hivefleet
Yeah you can literally have a hivefleet that can just survive fire because they have found the genes for it and standardize it
I already knew that
I honestly don't think using the orks to keep the tyranids at bay was that bad of a idea
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
it was that bad of an idea
lol
well it is not in the short term but in the long term?
they ate them all
You are giving both sides a power boost because more fighting means bigger more dangerous orcs
also that yeah
and more biomass for the nids
the plan backfired horribly lmao
Sooner or later one of them is gonna tap out
No Patrick mayonnaise is not an instrument
now you have a much bigger problem
average fascist plan moment
Yeah but orks fight each other all the time tho so like, how would making them fight the nids make that any different?
You give orcs a united enemy to have fun in
Because you are literally feeding the tyranids
that too
lmao
it's literally a self perpetrating engine of war
^
Wdym
Put it this way 2 orcs that are usually angry at each other fight each other until tyranids rain down
they decided to team up and now you just have the biggest shit show
or they will just proceed to kill each other again who knows
Yeah but they teamed up against rhe nids, once they are gone, orks aren't exactly known for their loyalty to each other so like
That alliance could easily shatter
Yk?
then the fighting produces a very big guy a war boss that unites the two?
^
literally that's how it's gonna roll out
Orks unite and bond loyalty once they have a good leader
either the orcs lose or the nids to lose
orks are built for fighting
they fight each other because they want to prove who's better and stronger
Yeah again how is that any different from what already happens with orks fighting other orks, unless you're saying that orks uniting to fight the nids will make more powerful orks on average
That survive
?
If the Orks lose you get some space Chuds to assasinate the Boss (Happens a ton), if the Nids win you glass the planet 
I mean that's what I was saying that's literally how it works ork even fighting other orcs
Fighting just makes them stronger but tyranids needs get more biomass fighting orcs
so again perpetrating engine of destruction here
the patriork 💀
Not gonna comment on Ulg Lotsarms?

THE 4 ARMED EMPERORS HOLY WARRIORS SHALL RISE
Wrong matt ward
Update minis? lol no
Rules update yeah
GW is obviously not happy with the armies current state lol
Everything gsc have is too new to update
I mean like… come on 3 new units maybe tee hee
Bring back the limo
They have the old gsc rules to a space marine detachment… pls gw… pls
GKs and drukhari need like army wide updates
But gsc could really do with almost any non hero unit
11e releases another Kellermorph type
I almost wish gw would bring back the old gsc list building archetype
So we had heroes and “single man not heroes”
Like the kelermorph was just a unit
But also spam so eh
Because “””””””””people””””””””” (space marine fans) got confused how drawing a line works
My twunk fascist boy 
Blast templates 🗣️
@heady rivet
i think thats stretching the definition of twunk
