is that a thing?

[gleaming gale]

The Kims are nearly deified so idk

[hollow lantern]

What're the other 2?

[heady rivet]

Most info of North Korea comes from Chinese sources, as Chinese students and businessmen get less restraint (Since NK is basically reliant on China fully)

[arctic talon]

they have halo infinite in North korea

[heady rivet]

Who wants to do this with me

[storm jungle]

i dont think Charo is wrong but its likely any of the smart army guys just dont wanna bother/try it

its kinda too risky as is

too many loyalists

[arctic talon]

Rich/High ranking NK people
Chinese exchange Students/buisnessmen
Russian exchange students/buisnessmen

[heady rivet]

Playing Darktide with this setup

[hollow lantern]

NK has exchange students?

[arctic talon]

yes

[celest cedar]

SUPREME LEADER 🫡 🫡 🫡

[arctic talon]

if you're in China or Russia you can go to college in NK

lol

[gleaming gale]

North Koreajak will get introduced to 343 slop and never know the Bungie era peak

[brave owl]

I don't know if thats a thing, but I am sure there are people who would not want to be lead by woman in NK because thats just how people are

[heady rivet]

Who wants to build the North Korean legos with me

[weak sphinx]

The "Free thinkers" who don't beleive western propaganda, clearly

[hollow lantern]

Who the fuck says "I'll go to college in North Korea"

[arctic talon]

[heady rivet]

Bro women hold up half the sky, Mao told us this

[solid horizon]

My brother had a dream that Kim gave him rolled bills of 20€ once, I went on telling DeepSeek that Kim had given him bills of 20€ in his sleep on an extremely serious tone and somehow it concluded that it was telepathic money transfer from the leader of NK. It's a joke between my friends now

[arctic talon]

Someone who fucked up their Gaokao

next question

[brave owl]

same country that kills female babies btw

[heady rivet]

Unironically its seen as funny to Chinese students

[arctic talon]

fucking up your Gaokao so badly the CCP says you're done and ships your ass off to North korea

[arctic talon]

1 child policy failed in a comical way

lol

[hollow lantern]

What is that?

[storm jungle]

[brave owl]

WHERES MY MALE HEIR

[storm jungle]

[arctic talon]

not male heir

its male son is supposed to take care of the family

lol

[hollow lantern]

Good sense of humor tbh, it is funny

[brave owl]

I TOLD YOU I NEEDED AN XY CHROMOSOME WOMAN

[arctic talon]

Gaokao is like the SAT in the USA but evil

[hollow lantern]

I see I see

[arctic talon]

Its basicially just a massive fucking standarized exam

[hollow lantern]

I never took the SAT

[arctic talon]

that everyone in China needs to take if they want to go to college

[arctic talon]

and you get assigned a selection of colleges based on how well you do

and what you're taking it for

[hollow lantern]

I see

Basically

Decides your future

[fervent geode]

Yes

And it’s hard as hell or so I’ve been told

[brave owl]

my favorite change da world meme is the chocolate ape

[arctic talon]

also it has Affirmative action

It is insanely hard

according to people I know

[opaque coyote]

You also can't like

change majors

It's a huge thing

Once you choose a major you're basically stuck

[brave owl]

https://youtu.be/4DxBkW3r8pA

[opaque coyote]

You can only change if you're good at said Major

[arctic talon]

yeah you're in in

lol

[fervent geode]

If you come late they don’t even let you in, but tbf most people are waiting there hours early

[opaque coyote]

But if you're getting good grades at said major

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE MAJOR??

[arctic talon]

but yeah there's regional discrimination/bias

in the examination grading system

lol

[heady rivet]

Its OVER

[opaque coyote]

Basically, the Chinese College system actually makes the American one look much better

which

...

is an accomplishment

[fervent geode]

It’s something lmao

[hollow lantern]

China fascinates me tbh

[brave owl]

im segmentuming china into rich and poor using the yellow river chat

floods all year

[arctic talon]

Affirmative action prime giving you 20 free points

jokes aside I'm not sure how much you get

but minority groups tend to get more points automatically

which uh

[heady rivet]

OKAY last NK post but dude the fit is unreal

[arctic talon]

has led to controversy

From both said minority groups

and the han majority™

lol

[brave owl]

i bet he eats ass

[arctic talon]

whats with the hats lol

[fervent geode]

I’d be surprised if there aren’t people who fake being Hui or something coz of this

[hollow lantern]

Drip

[arctic talon]

not the caps but like the fluffy hats

[arctic talon]

They caught like 500 people in inner mongolia faking their ethnicity in like 2021 or something

[fervent geode]

Ushanka maxxing

[heady rivet]

Fashion is semi-stuck in the 1950s and North Korea be cold

If you're gonna be an awful evil dictatorship you better have drip

NK has so many fucking cigarette brands

its nuts

[hollow lantern]

You guys think Kim is a menthol guy?

[arctic talon]

I think he just rawdogs the nicer stuff

lol

[hollow lantern]

Yk, one of the only stereotypes I ascribe to is that Asians love to smoke.

[brave owl]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR50ICC634KDi-U2cGjC7L7cnrcDBTjJN_X_w&s
The world if smokers would throw away their garbage anywhere but the fucking ground.

[heady rivet]

I dont know if this is racist but Asia LOVES smoking

[gleaming gale]

Yeah, he lights them up with matches, old school smoker

[heady rivet]

The world if we all smoked, you mean

[hollow lantern]

Lmfao drift compatible

[arctic talon]

like look at this brand variety

[fervent geode]

Yes it’s true

[arctic talon]

I'm aware

lol

[fervent geode]

But now vaping as well

[hollow lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/factory-vape-worker-pink-test-gif-1116462204387370922

[arctic talon]

actually why the fuck does NK do branding

for their cigs

[gleaming gale]

Export to China

[brave owl]

아리랑 arirang (like the song)

by far the worst ones. i traded most of these during nights out. i would rather smoke crack than these cigs. tasted like bad potpourri and purple fabuloso. absolutely vile. packaging is cute tho.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Dec 9, 2025, 1:33 AM

lmfao

Would rather smoke crack goes nuts

as a way of talking about cigs

[heady rivet]

For the recod, Kim was present at its opening and was given a tour of the place. So Kim knows about online gaming

[arctic talon]

tbf yeah

[heady rivet]

They gave him a tour like it was launching a new warship

[gleaming gale]

Dude did HS and college in Switzerland

[heady rivet]

In like the 80s tbf

[arctic talon]

someone made a fucking tierlist of the NK cigs they smoked

lmao

[fervent geode]

My man needs his NBA games

[heady rivet]

Remember when Dennis Rodman revealed potential state secrets on the Eric Andre show?

[gleaming gale]

Can't be worse than ukrainian contraband I used to smoke bruv, those were literal printer paper foil

[arctic talon]

this is the shit one of my uncles smokes in Taiwan lol

[hollow lantern]

Does China like American cigs

[arctic talon]

the rest of them don't smoke domestic brands lol

yes

its mostly domestic brands in china tho for sale

[hollow lantern]

I only know about the red pack of Chinese cigs, I'm sure yk what I'm talking about

[arctic talon]

if you want foreign cigs its a PITA

its not banned

but also they're not allowed to be sold in normal places

[hollow lantern]

Chunghwa I thinkM

[arctic talon]

except for like

a feww

[hollow lantern]

Neat

I'd try asian cigs tbh

[arctic talon]

Marlboro red is like

common as hell

tho

[hollow lantern]

Tbf

[arctic talon]

there's less restriction nowadays

[hollow lantern]

Reds are The Cigarette

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[hollow lantern]

If you're gonna smoke anything, it might as well be Reds

[arctic talon]

here's the chinese package for em lol

[fervent geode]

He’ll still probably get reinvited

[hollow lantern]

Does China have 100s too?

Not a fan of soft packs tbh

Can get fucked up easily

Especially during a long night out

[arctic talon]

They don't call them that but some are fucking big lol

there's way less standardization across the brands

[hollow lantern]

I gotcha

[arctic talon]

so there's some fat fuck cigs

[hollow lantern]

American cigs normally only get longer tbh

I don't think I'd ever seen a none standard width or circumference whatever you wanna call it

[arctic talon]

like look at how morbidly obese these cigs are

lol

[hollow lantern]

14 in a pack?

Yeah

Those better be good tbh

Fat bastards those are

[arctic talon]

They're pretty nice according to people I know

I don't smoke so I wouldn't know

[hollow lantern]

I have for long enough to where I'll have a genuine conversation about em lol

Would not recommend starting

Prefer it to vapes, dip, and whatever the fuck zyns are tho

[arctic talon]

wait

looooooooooooong one

lol

[gleaming gale]

I've been smoking for 10 years, literally the only thing I'm telling non-smokers lol

[hollow lantern]

Lmfao the filter on that bitch

[arctic talon]

Apparently they're really fucking hard to smoke out of

lol

[hollow lantern]

Great with a drink tho

[gleaming gale]

That's how they get you

[hollow lantern]

I bet, cig is like 1/3rd filter

[hollow lantern]

I've been on/off for I think uh

5-6 years?

I definitely socially smoke, if I go out to concerts or a wedding or whatever I like having them, I smoke while I work.

But I don't sit on the deck and smoke tho

That's why I don't like vapes tbh, cause I just will not put the thing down

[gleaming gale]

I'm churning through a pack a day, tried quitting and it worked for like 3 months until I got bad RNG lmao

[brave owl]

im fucking your brotheer

MORBIUUUS

[hollow lantern]

I get it tbh

When I got real bad it was a pack a day

Fuck

It was a lighter a day sometimes

[gleaming gale]

Mfw that's my regular 💀

[hollow lantern]

I try to smoke under 5 a day tbh

Well, at or under

[gleaming gale]

I'm literally smoking 3 just with the morning coffee

[hollow lantern]

Yk when I'm bad?

Driving to work

Sometimes I'll smoke 4 on the drive

[gleaming gale]

I luck out because I don't drive and I only smoke like 2 on the walks between commuting lmao

[hollow lantern]

I'm ngl to you

If it wouldn't get me fired I'd smoke while actually delivering mail

[gleaming gale]

Don't you get a warning or fined first at least?

[hollow lantern]

Unsure tbh

Honestly

It probably depends on exactly how many people complain

[gleaming gale]

Smoking is forbidden at my work too but everyone just ignores it lol

[hollow lantern]

Nah like

A lot of us smoke in the trucks while driving

But the actual act of walking door to door and being on people's porches yk

[gleaming gale]

Yeah that's fair, I think you can spare that for a bit

[hollow lantern]

I think it heavily depends on area too

Some people are more uh

Hoity toity if you will

@storm jungle the comm came in

I told you so 🫵

but also glad to see you are happy with Sig, he was ecstatic too lol

[heady rivet]

Weeeeally?

[storm jungle]

Extremely lol

he also said you dont need to be ashamed for being a pervert

🫵

[heady rivet]

fuck off no he didnt

[storm jungle]

I joke but he'd be right either way

[heady rivet]

Yeah ngl my next comm idea is extremely homoerotic

As is any form of melee combat

This is why men do so much warfare you see

Knights only did all that to embrace on another

[storm jungle]

📸

[heady rivet]

You see this with astartes

[opaque coyote]

What would be the 40k version of this meme

[brave owl]

ferrus manus

[opaque coyote]

Honestly thought of the one complaining being a Grey Knight due to their lack of refreshes atm

Either that or an exodite

Since they're not in the tabletop

Actually what's the most ridiculous thing that's on the tabletop

That has a figurine

That shouldn't

[neon jacinth]

Finally hit 30 on darktide

Also have a decent grasp of the gear system now so thats chill

[brave owl]

congratulations on being middle aged

[neon jacinth]

At first I didn't realize the masteries were the blessings you can assign

I thought they were all effective ngl

[brave owl]

its okay, I didn't assign blessings until I basically finished masteries because im obsessive

[neon jacinth]

I assigned them but it was more " why am I doing this again as its the same as a mastery I have unlocked "

[storm jungle]

They basically are yeah, the elitist minmaxxers are kinda too obsessed to really bother with em usually

[neon jacinth]

Situational awareness is the prime force here

[storm jungle]

nuh uh

"muh silent crushers"

and uh

"muh silent bursters"

[neon jacinth]

Lol

[storm jungle]

(Literally just not paying attention)

[brave owl]

in order to be the strongest darktide player you have to never play the objective and sit in one spot killing horde

[neon jacinth]

Too many people are prioritizing maniacs even in heresy

[brave owl]

especially in rolling steel

[neon jacinth]

Beyond heresy the wave will not provide a breather and we need to just leave nit kill heretics

[heady rivet]

Infantry Lasgun

[brave owl]

aaa

[jade holly]

Lion’el Johnson

[opaque coyote]

Sometimes

There's a reason why a classic

Is a classic

[jade holly]

Is Yarrick’s Storm Bolter specially made for him or do humans have their own version of the Storm Bolter like they have their own Boltgun

[opaque coyote]

I mentioned this probably like 20 fucking times

But fuck it

[jade holly]

Damn

[opaque coyote]

Not referring to your question

I was just gonna say a headcanon

[rocky gale]

and you're keeping it hidden, clearly due to it's perverse nature

[opaque coyote]

That the different Lasgun colors are from different power settings.

With Yellow Lasers being max power

Since they do canonically have power settings

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/leon-kennedy-resident-evil-4-re4-rizz-ada-wong-gif-17086756262841801080

[plush mason]

afaik its just a stormbolter, Yarrick is like the only human able to use one because plot

[rocky gale]

😏

[plush mason]

stormbolters are vehicle mounted weapons for the guard normally

[heady rivet]

Because you people are meanie heads also

And I would need to explain so much

[arctic talon]

Also SoB can use stormbolters

[opaque coyote]

Something like a storm bolter is usually custom made if it's wielded by somebody without power armor

The sisters do have their own storm bolters if that helps though

[arctic talon]

But they’re in power armor

[jade holly]

What if the new Iron Circle are all Chaos Knight sized Daemon Engines?

[arctic talon]

That’s an awful idea

lol

From a gameplay pov

[jade holly]

Lore full send that shit

[arctic talon]

Lore yeah sure why fucking not

[opaque coyote]

Would be hard to make up an excuse though

[jade holly]

They cheat though cause Faith actually gives them inhuman strength smh

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah we have all of those Daemon engines but uh we're only gonna send like one"

[opaque coyote]

I mean in this case it's due to their power armor

[jade holly]

“We shall send unto them, only you. Rip and Tear, til it is done”

The Doomon Engine

[opaque coyote]

Honestly an Imperium themed daemon "Faith" Engine

Would be cool

[jade holly]

The Penitent Engine

[opaque coyote]

Although it would be funny to imagine them like

Shoving a fucking saint inside of it

"Oh my Emperor, a saint! Get in the fucking TANK-"

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I find those to be stupid even for the Imperium.

Since shooting them like

Once

Would just shut down the entire thing

I get they're on like super drugs or something but like

One bolter shot would literally just disable the machine

And they are explicitly the pilots btw

The machine needs them to work

[opaque coyote]

I always thought that it would make more sense if it was like

Remotely controlled

And the poor bastard is just strapped onto it

[jade holly]

Give me my attack drone servo skulls piloted by a skull mast- wait a fucking minute

[opaque coyote]

Like that fits way better

[jade holly]

The Skull Merchant from DbD…

https://tenor.com/view/skull-scooby-scooby-doo-scooby-doo-they-went-that-a-way-gif-4838099179679877055

[opaque coyote]

Imagine a petty fight between the Tau and the Imperium

Where it's just a drone fight

Between Servo Skull drones and Tau drones

Just constantly against each other

[jade holly]

Two fat losers sitting in chairs while everyone spectates

[opaque coyote]

Both sides realize this shit is boring and inevitably just charge each other

[plush mason]

i think ima image all talking servoskulls with this voice

[jade holly]

Now I want a drone FPS game that sounds sick

Drone paced movement with fps elements

[opaque coyote]

Just join the army simple

Real life fps games

They even use Xbox and PlayStation controllers

I'm not joking

[jade holly]

Actually that’s getting more and more common

[opaque coyote]

personally prefer a mouse and keyboard

[jade holly]

Because surprise surprise controllers made for games with precise inputs helps with controlling stuff

[opaque coyote]

Also more importantly it's familiar

[plush mason]

also, i think i just heard some planetside 2 classim i guess you can call it? one of the voices calls light assaults "jetpackers"

[opaque coyote]

Everyone has used a video game controller

At least once

Less training needed

Also I find it both depressing

And funny

That the army compares it to fps games

For the exact same reason

That being it fucking isn't

Depressing because they're using something fun to lie to people about war

And funny because unless if that video game is fucking Arma 3

Your time is gonna be soent

85-95% bored and paranoid at the same time

And 15%-5% actual battle

And depending on where you're deployed and what your job is

Basically 100% bored

[opaque coyote]

Seriously Arma 3 MFS are on another level

They are roleplaying even the boring parts of war

[paper haven]

Most common question asked in the military: "What the FUCK is the hold up?"

[vital ginkgo]

Why do world eaters bother shaving their faces?

all the shit they go through and they are always depicted as clean shaven. Do they shave themselves or have some servant do it for them?

[opaque coyote]

Just because you slaughter people doesn't mean you can't be pretty

Jokes aside, World Eaters when the nails aren't biting are actually quite calm

And even have hobbies

Gardening, reading books, art, etc.

So they definitely have time to shave at least

Also

Imagine growing a beard

And then having it be caught when you put on your helmet

Why do you think space wolves often go helmetless

[fervent geode]

I don’t think most of them grow facial hair

Most Astartes were taken as prepubescent boys

[opaque coyote]

They can even when taken as children

[fervent geode]

The main exceptions are mainly SW

[opaque coyote]

After all their weird

Geneseed thing is basically a form of puberty

[fervent geode]

Not much imo, based on what I’ve seen at least

[fervent geode]

I guess?

But I see few with beards and whatnot

[storm jungle]

Shaven faces look better marketing wise

theres not really a lore reason

[opaque coyote]

Also I think the Geneseed implantation happens like

[fervent geode]

Calas Typhon is ugly as fuck thanks to his beard

[opaque coyote]

When they're teenagers

Anyways

[fervent geode]

Probably for the best

[storm jungle]

Again, has nothing to do with geneseed

lol

[opaque coyote]

It's like the last implant

So no matter what they would develop facial hair

[fervent geode]

I don’t think it any thing to do with gene seed

[lament shoal]

Afaik there’s no lore stating that most of them can’t. Adding to what Dilara just said, its also just an aesthetic design choice for some characters

[rose thorn]

i spent liek 2 characters workgin on my pathfidner hcaracte

[fervent geode]

The progenoid grows last

[storm jungle]

Again. Marketing.

[fervent geode]

Naturally

[fervent geode]

There isn’t

[storm jungle]

If geneseed effected beards all of Space Wolves would be bald

[fervent geode]

It’s my lore because I hate facial hair

[storm jungle]

too bad

suck it up loser

[opaque coyote]

Mostly just that.

And also imagine like having a long beard be caught when you like out on your helmet.

[fervent geode]

Bad skinning material smh

[storm jungle]

again stop applying logic to these

helmets got nothing to do with beards

see space wolves

[opaque coyote]

I know

[lament shoal]

Gonna go commission an artist to draw Curze with a massive hillbilly beard brb

[opaque coyote]

Just funny

[storm jungle]

no

[fervent geode]

It’s simply because it makes them chopped

[storm jungle]

banned

[opaque coyote]

Also painful

[fervent geode]

I’m gonna krill you

Actually

[opaque coyote]

Honestly wouldn't be that unfitting

[fervent geode]

It would be funny do it

[opaque coyote]

Tbf he doesn't even help the sons that he likes that much

[vital ginkgo]

Youre joking right?

[fervent geode]

True

[opaque coyote]

No.

[fervent geode]

Look up Arrian Zorzi

[paper haven]

Actually, no

[opaque coyote]

There's one World Eater that has a hobby of Gardening

[fervent geode]

They are very normal when they get the nails in check

[opaque coyote]

Of course all of the plants are weird chaos ones that feed off of blood

[fervent geode]

I think that was Zorzi, not sure though

[paper haven]

World eaters when the nails aren't forcing them to be absolute maniacs are really chill

Generally

[opaque coyote]

Born to chill

Forced to take skulls

[fervent geode]

Deserved for that ebay ass paint scheme

[opaque coyote]

Khorne took one look at their original paint scheme

And just decided

"Nah. Red and gold."

[paper haven]

Zorzi was the apothecary that had the skulls of his friends on his armor right?

[lament shoal]

Do world eaters partake in cannibalism like khorne cultists do?

[fervent geode]

Either him or Kargos

[storm jungle]

Depends on the W.E

[fervent geode]

Some do I believe

[paper haven]

And he would like, have an aside to explain things to them?

[storm jungle]

this is like an extremely "general" question lmao

[fervent geode]

Sounds like Zorzi alright

[storm jungle]

we see W.E committing cannibalism as far as like the first fucking planet they get the Nails on in orbit

[fervent geode]

Based

[storm jungle]

some loyalist world eaters come across one

and they are like

"What the fuck"

[fervent geode]

Very Ghennacore

[paper haven]

"These guys are nuts"

• A fucking world eater

[storm jungle]

to be fair hes a Warhound

[fervent geode]

There was a failed coup to stop the nails

So yeah

They tried

[storm jungle]

I hate that plot so much

"WE NEED TO GO THE SURFACE AND STOP IT"

No??? Just run???

[paper haven]

It didn't work

[storm jungle]

its so braindead

[fervent geode]

Mago is a dumbass ig

[paper haven]

We need to reason with them. Come on guys it's not too late

[storm jungle]

its called bad writing

[fervent geode]

Should’ve just sabo’d the nails and ran, but Korit is also a dumbass who fumbled ig

[opaque coyote]

Yup

[paper haven]

It was too late

[storm jungle]

That entire plan was just "we need to go down and die because its on the script, sorry guys no dice"

"damn that sucks"

[opaque coyote]

They say as one of their nailed brothers bites a person's head off with their teeth

[storm jungle]

literally the most realistic option was to flee lmao

[fervent geode]

We need to die for the plot - Centurion Mago or smth

[storm jungle]

^^^^

[paper haven]

It says right here in the script that we all gotta die, there's nothing I can do.

[storm jungle]

Lmao yeah thats ironically the fate of most of these characters

[fervent geode]

Sorry guys Khârn told me we can’t exist by Isstvan III

[storm jungle]

"We gotta follow the script or GW says we are out, i gotta pay my rent"

[paper haven]

Yeah that probably happened

[opaque coyote]

"Okay, firstly we fly- oh hold on. What is it GW."

Phone chatter

"...are you fucking serious right now?"

Phone chatter

Sighh

"We go in and die horribly."

Who knew that Angron could read?

[vital ginkgo]

That's funny

[fervent geode]

Angron can, he’s just too roided to most of the time

Even wrote a book

[storm jungle]

angron is so funny in the book

"NGRrgggh failed again. HUERRGGHHH HHGHGHGH"

[nocturne crest]

how many pages does a book need to be considered a book?

[storm jungle]

beyond like 5

It's not easy to write a character who speaks entirely in grunts and growls

I think he just makes noises in his daemon primarch book but i haven’t read it lol, just heard

[storm jungle]

a Novella is like uhhh

i wanna say 100 pages or so?

as its like a diet-book

[fervent geode]

100 sounds about right yeah

Most of the HH novellas are little over that

[storm jungle]

yeah i learned what a novella is through warhammer lol

[paper haven]

Also Angron's power scaling is insane. He held up a titan.

[storm jungle]

it was a Warhound

but yea he just stopped it

[paper haven]

It was like, a war hound titan sure but still

[fervent geode]

Meanwhile on TT he dies to Mortarion in melee

[nocturne crest]

Wait...Are the Tyranids basically just a race of the very hungry caterpillar?

[opaque coyote]

What men would rather do than get therapy

[storm jungle]

Are you new to 40k

https://klipy.com/gifs/video-juego-de-pacman

[fervent geode]

Does the very hungry caterpillar have infinite hatred for the leaves it eats

[paper haven]

Yes but also no

[nocturne crest]

No. I'm just wondering if anyone has done their own tyranids in that scheme.

[storm jungle]

what scheme

caterpillars got like thousands of colors

[opaque coyote]

"Bench press a war hound titan or deal with your issues"

[fervent geode]

Are you suggesting someone paint green caterpillar nids

[opaque coyote]

Angron runs to the war hound titan

[nocturne crest]

The very hungry caterpillar colour scheme.

[storm jungle]

💀

[fervent geode]

Because I’m sure someone has atp

[storm jungle]

also yeah Nids look good in any color

[fervent geode]

Bugs

[lament shoal]

BISEXUAL FLAG NIDS

[paper haven]

And then he bench pressed a titan.

[storm jungle]

vomiting pink acid that melts people

[fervent geode]

Tbh Lorgar knocked one down

It’s just a titan smh

[fervent geode]

Those eyes pierce the soul

[fervent geode]

That’s probably the 2nd Coming of Curze up there

[paper haven]

World Eaters are my favorite chaos legion.

[storm jungle]

I like them a lot

they World and they Eat

just like how Word Bearers Bear Words

[fervent geode]

My favourite scene was when Khârn said it’s time to eat the world and the world eaters said hell yeah

[storm jungle]

the fact that he actually says this is what kills me

[fervent geode]

In Echoes of Eternity

[paper haven]

Extremely straightforward bad guys with a tragic past that nobody cares about

[fervent geode]

What book lmao I forgor

[storm jungle]

"We will be your Eaters of Worlds."

Angron:

https://klipy.com/gifs/fant4stic-say-that-again

[fervent geode]

That was Dreagher smh

[storm jungle]

also Slave to Nuceria lmao

[storm jungle]

to be fair

white guy

[fervent geode]

Don’t forget my good boy

[storm jungle]

bald

psychopath

all WE are the same

[fervent geode]

Wasn’t Dreagher Black

[nocturne crest]

Found one: by user/Comfortable-Owl644

[fervent geode]

Or was that Delvarus

[storm jungle]

See what i mean?

[paper haven]

And then Angron beat him to death the end roll credits

[storm jungle]

nids look good in anything

[fervent geode]

That was uh

Yes

[paper haven]

And that's how Angron congratulates his son on having a good idea

[fervent geode]

He didn’t kill him

[storm jungle]

man hes so annoying

"ME AND MY SLAVE FRIENDS DESTROYED A CITY IN AN ENTIRE DAY"

Nobody cares asshole, shut up

[fervent geode]

But he killed some other dude

31 hours or decimation rn

[paper haven]

I know, I'm just kidding

[fervent geode]

No he killed someone tho lmao

Forgot who

[fervent geode]

Based

[paper haven]

"Let me guess Angron, Your gladiator buddies would have been able to conquer this advanced civilization with sharpened sticks, right?"

• A world eater centurion right before being killed.

[storm jungle]

Yeah me

hes such a fucking crybaby

if you wanna die so badly go and kill yourself

arrogant fuck lmao

"MUH WARRIOR PRIDE WONT ALLOW IT"

[paper haven]

I get that's the tragedy of it all but he really is the weakest part of the legion

[storm jungle]

Nah yeah it is

Angron is tragic but everything after Nuceria hes also to blame for

he did the right thing running away but came right back after Kharn asked him lol

[paper haven]

Kharn be like, but daaaad

And it's the only time he listens

And everyone is worse off for it

[storm jungle]

Mfer convinced everyone to get Nails

🥀

Angron defenders out in full force

[paper haven]

Well, maybe Kharn is happy

[storm jungle]

he is believe me lol

that entire book conclusion is just

[paper haven]

He's the only one

[storm jungle]

"No thinking. Only murder."

[paper haven]

My brain is making a headache with pictures. I hate it.

[heady rivet]

My adult toddler getting a face tattoo hoping it will make me love him

[paper haven]

Spoilers but it didn't work

[storm jungle]

Real 💀

[paper haven]

I did like the part where Lorgar called Angron a fucking idiot

Rare Lorgar w

[lament shoal]

Expeditions fit. Desert stealth ops. Ready to invade Iraqius on your command, Planetary Governor Bush 🫡

[paper haven]

The GSC have weapons of mass destruction hidden in the desert

[rose thorn]

flash backs to some of the worst guard lore ive ever read

[paper haven]

You're gonna need to be more specific there

[rose thorn]

tallaran suicide bombers

wait ufkc

wahts hte guard rgeiment

tall

talli

[paper haven]

I- I did not know they did that

[rose thorn]

tallarn

yeah tallarn

[rose thorn]

it was ina tau b ook

and thent hey never did it agin

it was really dumb

[paper haven]

I thought Tallarn being Arabic was meme lore

Making them suicide bombers is just. Yeesh.

[rose thorn]

i assur eyou htey are barely arabic, the yare ilke obseenly american in th elore

its fuckinuhhh

whats it called

wrogn image

[arctic talon]

GW just treats Tallaran as the dedicated tank regiment nowadays

[sacred ginkgo]

Are you ok

[arctic talon]

Along with some other stuff

Mostly forgeworld

[rose thorn]

they are ... OPERATON SANDSTORM

THATS IT

[arctic talon]

Who decided on the

“What if tanks”

[paper haven]

Granted I have only seen Tallarn in two books and one was the Horus heresy novel where they got virus bombed

[arctic talon]

Tbh GW might pick to make them more Arabic/Bedouin again

lol

[rose thorn]

DESERT STORM

[paper haven]

The other was a caiphus Cain book

[rose thorn]

OPRTAION DESERT STORM

[arctic talon]

Also they’re def not operation desert storm

That’s the tau

lol

[rose thorn]

fuck

whats the vibe im thinking of

[paper haven]

The book was named operation desert storm?

[arctic talon]

Lawrence of Arabia?

lol

[rose thorn]

no imtalking about the irl military operation that they arebased off of

[arctic talon]

They’re not based on anything really

Not like that

lol

[paper haven]

Tanks makes sense if they're building off of how they fought right after they got virus bombed

[arctic talon]

They’re just vaguely Bedouin/Lawrance of Arabia

[arctic talon]

Tbh them leaning into Tallaran being the tank regiment was a good decision

It’s pretty unique imo

[rose thorn]

yea hcYES THAT EXATLY

[arctic talon]

That wasn’t a military operation

[rose thorn]

yeah my bad

[paper haven]

I mean desert fighting does favor armored combat

[rose thorn]

i have no clue whati was htinking of

[arctic talon]

That was a British dude who helped lead the Arab revolt

And then he died in a motorcycle crash lmao

[rose thorn]

i thought there was a famous picutre of ameiracn soldiers in afriac wearing white head dresses

[paper haven]

The French foreign legion in the 1920s?

[rose thorn]

i might be htinking of a movie i saw

[arctic talon]

That just sounds like the French Foreign legion or Lawrence of arabia lol

[paper haven]

Not really Americans but they did operate in North Africa

[rose thorn]

its porbbaly one of those two

[arctic talon]

he had a movie made of him

how this has aged is your choice

lol

[rose thorn]

white guy in arabic clothes is the most white guy movie thign ive ever seen

[paper haven]

I actually really like that part of history, it's a shame that France and Britain immediately betrayed them.

[arctic talon]

tbf he did that as well

lol

Like the real dude

lol

[paper haven]

Yeah, no Lawrence sounds like a pretty cool dude. He straight up trained and led a revolt

[arctic talon]

yeah he also wasn't racist

He def became kind of obsessed with arab culture

[paper haven]

I have heard that he was also horrified at the psykes-picot agreement

[rose thorn]

god camels are so fucking cool

[rose thorn]

weirldy common

"weirdly"

[arctic talon]

oh he hated it

[paper haven]

It makes sense. He needed to learn their culture in order to properly organize them and gain their respect.

[rose thorn]

it happens when ever a white guy goes to any country where white people are the minority

nvm the italy joke wasnt funny

[arctic talon]

tbh

he was also literally part of their military campaign lol

[rose thorn]

is the movie good?

[arctic talon]

Saying he led the revolt is incorrect but he was def one of the core members

the movie? no

lmao

[rose thorn]

ah gotcha

[arctic talon]

Its fun action slop

but its a pretty horrid representation of all parties involved lol

[rose thorn]

lmao

[paper haven]

Well not solely. He was what would be called a military advisor today

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[paper haven]

A British officer training local forces

[arctic talon]

There were a number of British and French military advisors

during the Arab revolt

there was kind of a split between the British and French backed forces during the revolt

which is interesting

[nocturne crest]

Iirc, his death helped to start development of motorcycle helmets.

[arctic talon]

maybe, I wouldn't know

[rose thorn]

that doenst sound true i am gonna be honest

[paper haven]

The French were not as effective, I have heard

Could be the British bias but I believe it

[arctic talon]

they were able to get along with them a lot better at the start

but the French didn't send as much war material at all

mostly bcs the french sent like

a chunk of muslim officers

[rose thorn]

man this image is fukcing crazym he even has the dagger too

[arctic talon]

Yeah no the Tallaran are like

absolutely based on him lol

[rose thorn]

yeah 100%

[rose thorn]

he probably was what i was thiknign of

[paper haven]

Basically the only thing about the Tallarn that reads as Arabic are those daggers

[arctic talon]

also this one lol

[nocturne crest]

He was still a big thing in the UK when he died, like I'm pretty sure he was helping development of a speed boat for the royal navy.

[rose thorn]

SMH GW HWERE IS MY TALLARN MODELS #VOTEWITHYOUR WALLET

[arctic talon]

tbh some of the really old stuff is def kind of more bedouin

but GW has leaned away from it

[rose thorn]

i love this art SO MUCH

[paper haven]

Bedouin is a better description

[arctic talon]

whether thats a good or bad thing

thats up to you

lol

[paper haven]

Considering the Tallarn suicide bombers, I'm gonna go with it being better

[arctic talon]

Tbh

there's like one mention of that ever 💀

[paper haven]

Better that they leaned away, I mean

[rose thorn]

idk if gw will ever do a tallarn release consdiering ash waste nomads kinda stole their thunder

[arctic talon]

but yeah that bit is awful

lol

GW might do Tallaran someday

at the very least I think a Tallaran tank commander is likely

oh yeah this one piece of art lol

I forgot about this one

[rose thorn]

they should do regiment upgrade sprues instead of giving every fucking regimetn a kit release

[arctic talon]

this is the most bedouin they've been

[paper haven]

But yeah, Tallarn tank units is pretty cool.

[paper haven]

That's pretty Bedouin

Should have given him a laslock

[arctic talon]

I uh, I have no fucking clue where this one is from

[paper haven]

Really complete the set up

[rose thorn]

i think froma ttrpG?

[arctic talon]

nah the ttrpg dudes use a dif aesthetic

[paper haven]

I don't think I have ever seen that one before. Is it official artwork?

[arctic talon]

Apparently?

I'm not sure if it is

it looks really off to me

[rose thorn]

I FORGOT THEY HAD THEIR OWN MOUNT

[arctic talon]

The only war stuff looks like this

[rose thorn]

WHAT HTE FUCK IS GOIGN ON IN THAT SECODN PICUTRE

[paper haven]

I take it back, Tallarn rough riders on dinosaurs is better than tanks

[rose thorn]

WHOT HE HELL ARE THOSE UYS

[arctic talon]

They're about to fucking murder a bunch of Sevrin Dominate people

[arctic talon]

Severan dominate are a Imperial Sucession movement

[paper haven]

Severan Dominate. Roman cosplayers

[arctic talon]

who are hardcore roman larpers

Tbh they rock the look lol

[rose thorn]

they gotta die their fit is horrid

[paper haven]

Their stormtroopers look pretty cool though

[arctic talon]

tbh its about what I expect

[rose thorn]

that is ALTO better

[arctic talon]

yeah their stormtroopers are by far the most good looking thing about em

[nocturne crest]

It could be true. The Neurosurgeon who tried to saved his life ended up taking an interest in dispatch riders accidents and their effect on the head.

[rose thorn]

i think we shouidlnt let gaurd fans see them otherwise htey will bitch and complain until they get a mdoel range

[paper haven]

Changing the trim colors to silver instead of yellow helps a lot

[arctic talon]

for sure

[paper haven]

Tbh I think they should have leaned more into the Roman aesthetic. Make their soldiers straight up looking like centurions

If you don't have a tower shield, you're wrong

[arctic talon]

for better or for worse its likely modern Tallaran will lean into the FW era aesthetic

Considering the newest 40k art of them

lol

which has a dude with a glowing augmentic eye lol

[paper haven]

It's for aura farming

He turns it off when he doesn't want to be seen at night

[arctic talon]

its for the propaganda shot

lol

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/zhukov-gif-25031719

ADD MORDIANS

MORDIANS to Darktide PLEASE

[rose thorn]

man i need ot make my gsc lore

[paper haven]

Mordians are so dumb I love them

[arctic talon]

them having stormtroopers with carapace armor

designed to look like dress uniforms

is on point

bruh these guys are fucked

[paper haven]

I also like when flak armor is presented as not just being the cadian armored vest and helmets

[arctic talon]

tbh

we have more Big regiments with flak armor jackets

then actual flak armor armor

[rose thorn]

OH YEAH 11TH EDIITON BETS

WILL KNIGHTS BE HELL ON EARTH

[paper haven]

Since flak is basically just very tough ballistic fabric, it can look like almost any kind of clothing

[arctic talon]

Knights will remain skew hell always

lol

[rose thorn]

yeah but willthey be terrible or terrible ot fihgt

[arctic talon]

both

[paper haven]

Plus, I really want to see Attilan Rough riders wearing Lamellar flak armor

[arctic talon]

they only get that in some art

otherwise its just

big coat

[nocturne crest]

Fun fact. They had to cut down the amount of medals the real person was wearing.

[heady rivet]

So then thing is about Soviet medals, iks that when you earn the medal again they give you ANOTHER medal of the same type

Rather than just a bar

[rose thorn]

i really liked when they released, i thoguht htey were gonna repersent one off regiments with a single kit htat could easily be kitbashed into your own regiment... and not make a erlease utterly dedicated to 1 regiemnt and take up like lamost half of all the mdoels

im still crashing out

its just INSANE

[nocturne crest]

Is there any standard attilan guardsmen been shown anywhere?

[arctic talon]

No

Even in only war the art of them in combat is them mounted up

[nocturne crest]

Dang.

[heady rivet]

Holy shit

I found

A google doc my friend made

When I got high and he tried to ground me by asking about Necromunda lore

He knows NOTHING of Warhammer lore

And wrote down his notes of what I was saying

I ranted for like 90 minutes and this is all he got

[paper haven]

They're depicted entirely as horse riding soldiers

How feral world regiments are integrated in general is very interesting to me.

And feudal world regiments, I suppose

[heady rivet]

[arctic talon]

Tbh they’re not a feral world

They’re a feudal world

They have some actual technological infrastructure as well

[jade holly]

Perutrabo, father, we have successfully sieged all the planets you requested except for one, have we pleased you?

I know, I corrected my statement so the sentiment remains the same while including the Attilans specifically.

[arctic talon]

Oh my fucking god lol it’s beautiful

[young pecan]

I'M CLOBBERING MY THING

Stunned me for like

Several seconds

Erm, its CS2

As someone who knows nothing about Necromunda it sounds exactly like what I had in my head

[daring creek]

Choke on my balls

[heady rivet]

Chapter Master is cool

[opaque coyote]

Firstly

Planet of Necrophilia is honestly the funniest fucking parody name for a 40k world

[heady rivet]

Secondly?

[opaque coyote]

Secondly, having a planet have the hives be arranged as

Literal hives

Like square like

Sounds fucking awesome

Wouldn't fit the Imperium in particular though

But imagine a Vespid city where from space

It looks like a honeycomb of sorts

Like this but far away

And when you go in, it's actually buildings

Or something

Arranged in a formation like this

[opaque coyote]

And finally

"Want the white man off their land"

How the fuck did he even get that

Some of the stuff seems to be just overly vulgar basic information

But where did that come from??

[heady rivet]

I dont remember

[opaque coyote]

What do you talk about when you're high

And the biggest mystery is that I have no idea what part is your friend

And what part is just the drugs

And finally

"Simply no way to stop this." Says Only Galaxy Where This Regularly Happens

Imagine if a portion of DAoT humanity fucked off to like

Andromeda

And is just watching the total fucking chaos from the distance

And they're like

"Thank god we didn't stay around."

They say while going into hyper speed because they figured out FTL without going into hell.

[grave sparrow]

I've heard some characters mention the Indomitus Crusade wouln't it be wild if the Crusade came to Tertium?

[opaque coyote]

"hey bro check out my tyrant"

Chris Redfield fucking laughing

"Stop that!"

[rancid cove]

I got a new plushie

[opaque coyote]

I still have the enduring headcanon that Wesker hates Chris due to him laughing at the Tyrant

[opaque coyote]

Holy shit

It's da Bat!

gets ribs turned into dust

IDC if I am a basic bitch ass mf I love Batman

Loved him since I was 6

Although he is honestly the most unrealistic superhero.

[rancid cove]

I ain't tellin nothin'!

gets tire put onto face

O-OKAY ILL TELL EVERTHIN' I KNOW, I SWEAR!

[opaque coyote]

He is a billionaire that actively tries to do good

Way more unrealistic than Superman

[opaque coyote]

Also I find it funny that Origins basically is him at his most brutal and it implies that he cooled down

But you never really feel that because gameplay

Let's be fair here

We basically turn the criminals into dust

[rancid cove]

the fact this is factual is kinda fucked

[rancid cove]

its not him at his most brutal but him at his most explosive

thinks less, more prone to bursts of anger

[opaque coyote]

Also if I ever get a VR set

Arkham Shadows is a game I want

The story is genuinely one the best

[rancid cove]

if i get a vr im downloading those very realistic gore sandboxes and goin ham on the npcs

[opaque coyote]

Also fun fact. The original creators of Superman actually initially envisioned him as evil.

But thought that was boring as fuck

They thought it would be much more interesting for such a powerful being to do good instead

Thus Superman was born

[rancid cove]

good superman > evil superman

only 3 ever attempts at evil superman i ever liked were homelander, omni-man and the evil kid from that one horror movie

forgot the name

brightburn?

[gleaming gale]

Let the people have hopecore

[opaque coyote]

Generally my favorite friendship is

Batman and Superman

Every story where they work together is absolute peak

[rancid cove]

Bats, Sups and WW are peak friendship

[quiet orchid]

WW Goat.
