white armor with blue trims

they are called the Landstealers....

jade holly
#

BT when they want to have a bit of Blood Angels in them

opaque coyote
#

It would also benefit from having smaller threats actually be threatening

#

Because the T'au are of zero threat to the Imperium

rose thorn
#

LMAO

opaque coyote
#

Because the Imperium is simply too big

storm jungle
#

man

opaque coyote
#

But a mini-empire on the other hand?

#

Well

storm jungle
#

ultra-christians are so fucking annoying

jade holly
storm jungle
#

literally infesting online spaces

opaque coyote
#

It's a bit harder when you have zero support

opaque coyote
#

But in general I just think shattering the Imperium would be the best way to continue the setting

jade holly
#

Literally next door to the largest and most martial and aggressive dynasty in all of Necron history lmao

opaque coyote
#

And allow for further homebrewing potential

arctic talon
#

Religious fanatics are fucking weird

opaque coyote
#

Want a good Imperium for some god forsaken reason beyond my reckoning?

You can actually do that now

#

Want the Imperium to be even worse?

#

You can also do that now

jade holly
#

Mankind of the Emperors chadgryn

opaque coyote
#

Tbf you could do it before

#

But you can do it now in many different flavors that would've been considered Heresy otherwise!

storm jungle

I clocked it at one point then forgot it

I genuinely was basically jump scared by rhat

Honestly

And now I can’t unsee it

opaque coyote
#

Especially since the show just decided to

#

Make it white

storm jungle
#

i agree

#

40k should not be political

#

its one of my favorite non-political settings

jade holly
#

Irl politics bore me, I care only for the politics of whether every family in the Imperium needs a medicinal Baneblade or not

storm jungle
#

they dont bore you, you just feel bad

jade holly

So it’s just better for my mental to just not engage with politics and just try to keep to 40K

The closest thing we have to an IRL Imperium

you could but them in 40k and people would say "how can they get away with this its grimderp"

# storm jungle 50000 MORE WORLDS TO ULTRAMAR

Ultramarines always stay winning.

Honestly most UM fans I've met usually are fans of some other faction also. Mainly because UMs get content all the fucking time.

Like usually that's the case for most fans but factions always at least have some super ultra autistic fans that only play or read about that faction and like nothing else

In my political option I think dark angels should be a codex complaint chapter

fervent geode
#

They are compliant tho

rose thorn
#

As in, they don’t get their own codex

fervent geode
#

More or less, the whole Fallen Hunt technically isn’t illegal

hollow lantern

I really wish I liked UM tbh

Fuck them

Oh we're way past that

Genuinely I hate salamanders but them and WS are literally non codex complaint

They are

hollow lantern

Complaint tho

rose thorn
jade holly
#

I like Iron Hands cause bionics are cool and I like their color scheme

fervent geode
jade holly
#

Sometimes it’s that simple

fervent geode
#

Generally unless it’s the BTs or something you can’t get away with that

rose thorn
fervent geode
rose thorn
#

And they use non codex compliant unit set ups

fervent geode
#

And being king of the planet is fine

rose thorn
#

Aka putting everything on a bike

fervent geode
#

The Emperor’s Spears do that

rose thorn
#

Yeah and they are non codex complaint

fervent geode
rose thorn

And they brag about it

jade holly

Besides fortifications and defense what does the IF specialize in again?

The emperors spears brag

#

Valrak is basically officially paid by GW to do those dumbass leak stuff

jade holly
#

And he’s a stinky IF fan smh

storm jungle
#

hes basically a star wars soyfan yeah

rocky gale
#

Was he not blacklisted from GW creator lists because his leaks were too accurate?

hallow saddle
#

i dont buy that hes paid by GW btw

#

thats bullshit

storm jungle
#

I do because he constantly makes accurate leaks for years and intermixes it with fake ones

#

you cant do leaks that long and not get caught

#

hes 100% a plant lol

hallow saddle
#

so he has at least one source in the studio

jade holly
#

Maybe he’s just that good…

Ah who the Hell am I kidding IF fans aren’t that competent

storm jungle
fervent geode
#

The Salamanders are a little less so

he prob just reads /tg

fervent geode
#

Because they organise themselves like the Death Guard

since 10th launched I've consistently seen everything leaked on /tg

fervent geode

#

Usually when someone gets paid off by GW all of their content that is even vaguely critical gets wiped from existence

storm jungle

#

But yeha officially whitescars are a non codex complaint chapter, but they are good friends with the ultra marines

So I should expect a Peter model later this year or early next?

viral halo
#

But then again like plenty of people that have left GW have come out and straight up said what models were developed and shelved like coteaz and huron updates

rocky gale
#

No WarCom reveals today

storm jungle
#

GW literally sometimes allows leaks to happen to build up hype, they only dont do that when it OUTRIGHT shows the release like Angron or Nightbringer, the last one was especially a disaster because it fucked up the entire release schedule of that narrative boxsets lmfao

GW like refuses to represent things they don't sell in their media

wary fulcrum

#

you know GW didnt intend a leak if the moment its shared online they INSTANTLY make a WarCom post for it

They never ask for stuff like that back

It was made by GW

That's pretty cool tbh

GW always lets you keep stuff

It’s pointless to get it back

Like there was a guy ordered a Combat Patrol and due to a warehouse mistake accidentally got sent a massive stock order that was meant for a 3rd party Hobby shop and GW was just like "Oh shit mb, we'll send you out the Combat Patrol you ordered right away"

jade holly
#

True

#

Free minis are always good

viral halo
#

Getting sent a store's supply of contrast paints was the best thing that ever happened to me

jade holly

But I can just walk into a GW store and ask to swap a base for another can’t I?

Hopefully

I told GW I'd send it back and they said just don't sell it and you can keep it

And the Plasmancer makes Tesla Immortals so much stronger…

Isn’t the reanimator in the spearhead

pretty sure the only way to get the reanimator is that RC box

it's not sold separately at least on the warhammer store

I just. Can’t believe they have 2 tall spider guy units and not even be same size let alone kit

jade holly

unless im confusing the iron heart (the thing that keeps tony alive) with iron heart (a chracter) i dont think so

#

Oh right now I see it, IIRC the comics had an even worse thing

civic gale
#

actually

#

in the beginning like the earliest of earliest comics

#

tony never had such tragery

rocky gale
#

To be fair she is a character in the universe who assumed Tony was only able to do what he did because he was a rich boy, she didn't know him personally or follow his life story

celest dome

Like some pseudo feminist view but they were basically shitting on a load of historical feminist mouvements or something

jade holly
civic gale
#

iron man was just the product of a very brilliant genius

civic gale
jade holly

No worries

rocky gale
#

Like if you don't know what we know and are just a regular person in the universe, Tony is just a billionaire with a fancy suit, sure people say he built it himself but every billionare CEO claims to have invented what their company did.

jade holly
#

The “iron heart” (the reactor) in how you thought is what Tony built to keep scraps of metal from going further into his heart

civic gale
#

but what i meant is, no i dont think rescur or was machine had such a device, only tony did

It was the 1st time I was shown any Iron Heart thing

#

So uh I want to tell a short story

#

I once asked r/40klore about advice for a 40k crossover

#

I wanted to crossover with HSR due to similarities in certain concepts and all that

#

And because I thought it would be interesting

#

And although the post got deleted because apparently it was against a rule about only 40k lore being allowed

#

And honestly

#

Fair

#

I still remember

#

This comment

#

I know that you’re Honkai fan, but by all means, go for it, just say it like something the warp doing their mumbo jumbo things and warp them there, think about which faction was the one that send there, and that work is your oyster.

Just be mindful though, whatever you produce might be label as heretical productions, if you want something like “oh, an imperial ship crashed into honkai verse and now out of the grasp of the imperium, they live in peace and harmony”, then sure, go ahead, make your slice of life work, we have krieg isekai at a peaceful world slice of life so another one wouldn’t surprise me.

But remember that 40k is full with hatred and disgust, love and harmony are almost nowhere to be found, if the warp can send an imperial ship to honkai world, you’ll be sure chaos will follow, and I don’t think your beloved character would live pretty once that happen, those imperial guardsman that isekai there would rather fight the honkai characters to the death as they’re either label as heretics or Xenos, or even chaos spawn.

i would say it as a fan, I would rather have a faithful fan work of 40k instead of what you produce, I have no faith in it and see no reason why these series are intertwine out of… “heretical tendency”

#

I didn't respond to it

#

I was just baffled

#

What a dumb comment lmao

#

Why even bother writing all that out?

Here is my initial post btw:

How should the Imperium be portrayed in a Crossover?

I want to potentially write a fanfic crossover of 40,000, specifically with Honkai: Star Rail.

(I mean they do both suck your wallet for characters after all...)

But, as I know not everybody has a gacha addiction like I do. I want to know how to portray the Imperium in a crossover in general. What weaknesses and strengths should the Imperium have? How much should I show their humanity?

How much should I include other universal rules into it?

How much of the Imperium should be there? As I was thinking of having a fleet of Imperium ships managing to get into the Star Rail Galaxy via the Warp.

And more importantly, should I bring the other big players in like the Orks, or the Eldar?

Billions dead like

#

In every single document

#

There's a sect of playable characters that in a faction called Stellaron hunters

#

That have murdered literal billions

#

And have skyhigh bounties

#

And literally steal what is essentially space cancer tumors for their own purposes

#

Their credit score is somehow really good though

outer wave
#

I just don't get the whole "Erm, you can have it if you want, but just know your pretty lil anime girls and boys are gonna die horribly!!"

opaque coyote
#

Like yeah

#

I know dipshit

outer wave
#

Could be better to ask the HSR subreddit tbh

opaque coyote
#

Probably was

#

I also tried reading HSR fanfics

#

Of course being a gacha game

#

It's mostly shipping

#

Which honestly bores me

#

The worst part isn't that it exists

#

Honestly do whatever you want

#

I was just annoyed at how people never tackled the interesting setting and world

#

And just

#

Went straight to the characters fucking

#

Like half of them are modern AUs

outer wave
#

Bruh

opaque coyote
#

Like like

#

Try to make an interesting story??

#

There are literal lore documents everywhere

#

I also planned to make a DND game based in the HSR universe because it sounds fun

#

Why is there nothing in the universe??

#

At least HAVE THEM FUCK IN THE SPACESHIPS

#

WHY ARE YOU MAKING MODERN AUS

opaque coyote
#

IT'S A FUCKING SCI FI GAME

opaque coyote
#

Tbf like I said, HSR is a gacha game.

Gacha games mainly prey on what character is the sexiest or whatever

#

But at least like

#

Most romances literally are about external issues and drama

#

Getting in the way of them being together

#

Every dramatic romance story is about that

#

It's spicy

#

Why are you removing that

#

Then again this is all personal opinion

#

Some people just wanna have their favorite characters kiss and bang

#

That's fine

#

I'm just kinda disappointed

#

At the lack of variety

plush mason
#

imo a drama filled romance espescially one with the drama being from external forces is not a healthy romance

outer wave
#

You think the romance stems from something else?

plush mason
#

if the romance doesnt stem from mutual respect admiration and attraction between the parties involved is it even a romance at that point?

outer wave
#

Could you not have that in a drama romance with an external force being the source of the drama?

plush mason
#

oh you can

#

but if you and or the other parties involved are allowing said external forces to inject drama without stopping them there is a problem

outer wave
#

Ahh I see what you mean I think

plush mason
#

yeah if the people in the relationship arent willing to stand up and put their boot down on such things there is a problem,

outer wave
#

Im more thinking like a romance thats made under stress of a greater evil, like a lich or dictatorship or something

plush mason
#

oh

#

i wouldnt call that drama

outer wave
#

But there's also the kind that comes from one of the couple's siblings or parents or cousins or whatever that is allowed to wreak havoc (relationship wise anyhow)

plush mason
#

yeah thats what i was thinking of

outer wave
#

Yeee I getcha

#
  1. Generally a story wants conflict
#

Stories that don't are often short stories

#

That don't overstay their welcome

#

But any form of long story?

#

Conflict is needed, whether physical, mental, emotional, etc.

#
  1. Emphasis on external. Usually circumstances like "Oh I want to be with you, but my mom thinks you're stinky!"
#

Or something

#

Although internal is also viable. A lot of people like reading about toxic relationships.

#

Of course they wouldn't actually wish it on anybody or want to be in one

#

But it is definitely fun to read

plush mason
opaque coyote
#
  1. Wish fulfillment.

We all want to be the person that saves the girl from their abusive parents

#

And then they kiss and get married

#

Or some shit

#

Real life of course is messier

#

And it depends on what flavor you want

#

Like generally, romances can either be wacky comedies

#

Or ones that are dark

#

Or just pure wish fulfillment

#

Or whatever the fuck Twilight is

#

Probably wish fulfillment

#

I guess more appropriately whatever 50 shades of grey is because it's uh

#

What is the purpose

#

I read it

#

I seriously don't get it

#

Why was this popular

outer wave
#

It was fanfiction for Twilight

#

Dunno how it managed to spiral into what it is now

opaque coyote
#

The BDSM isn't even accurate

plush mason
opaque coyote
#

Smh

opaque coyote
plush mason
#

50 shades of grey is infamous for popularizing the term after all, that it is a wildly inaccurate pretrial of it is just par the corse for most such popularizing media

opaque coyote
#

True

#

I mean I actually can get twilight

Two hot supernatural men competing for your affection

#

Who want you and only you

#

Oh how scandalous!

willow stag
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Still poorly written but at least I get why 13 year old girls were like

#

"Holy shit this is peak"

#

Honestly I bet if the genders were swapped. Men would fucking love that shit

near wasp
#

I mean the gender swapped version came out and a bunch of guys were like "I get it now"

plush mason
#

that one of the dudes is a werewolf raises some questions i got to admit

opaque coyote
#

It's just better to deny them

plush mason
#

lmao

opaque coyote
#

Bad Dragon gets it sales from somewhere

plush mason
opaque coyote
#

I mean probably didn't think about it from that perspective

#

They just thought "Why would women ever want that?"

#

And didn't think further

near wasp
#

^

plush mason
near wasp
#

Most people in general have negative self awareness

plush mason
#

true

near wasp
#

It's not just one gender that's dumb it's everybody

opaque coyote
#

So the few curious men read it and find it to be shit

#

And they just are like

#

"Why would someone ever?"

#

Cause tbh even after knowing the perspective

#

...

#

It's still bad

#

Like

#

Found better stuff on Ao3 unironically

plush mason
#

its boarderline smut afaik

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

#

At least going on fanfic websites you get to see full on smut that's probably also better written

#

TS is trash dawg

#

Like why do you think most alien stories have the aliens be fine with humanity at worst

#

Or just have them as faceless enemies

#

40k is even guilty of the latter at times

#

Since a lot of the Great Crusade just kill like

#

Indistinct Xenos

plush mason
#

most aliens are just humans in a suit in most sci fi

opaque coyote
#

That can easily be ignored because it's not like we get to know them

@mossy peakcool pfp brother

opaque coyote
#

In general "stepping into someone else's shoes" is hard for most people

plush mason
#

tbf most fantasy races are also that way

civic gale
#

also....there's the black templars.....are white templars a thing too? i heard a friend mention them so...

plush mason

they are iirc

Sylvian Guards, dark angels sub chapter they were intended as a defense force for Moreau forgeworld which used to be a densely forested planet (hence their green color). Eventually as the industry grew the planet became insanely polluted and irradiated and Sylvian Guards progessively declined and as a coup went on they couldn't represent a force large enough to do any efficent action. Although they do not exist anymore and remaining brothers were affected to different chapters, some armors and geneseed were kept by dark magos Magnu Cerebro as trading and experiment ressource. It is believed some battle brothers have been abducted by Cerebro and kept imprisoned.

thats what i thought

wasnt sure

civic gale
#

question

#

is there any primarch/marine chapter that is bassicly.....paranoid out of nowhere?

solid horizon
#

Iron Warriors

solid horizon
#

they are famously paranoid

celest dome
#

Night Lords

heady rivet

Because tbh most have good reasons for it

# celest dome Night Lords

He literally saw the future, his death, and always saw the worst outcomes. Then recruited literal psychos that got super-dementia and super-visions

opaque coyote
#

Because like

#

The Alpha Legion is just naturally uhh

civic gale
#

i want this idea to make a chapter that is heavily focused around it, they get paranoid thoughts so often their training boils down to "hold it together" and due to this hyper focused activity they stay- well--- focused?

opaque coyote
#

To the point where

#

95% of the operators and SMs

#

Literally have zero idea what they're doing

solid horizon
#

because well... of their paranoid behaviour

opaque coyote
#

And then after Alpharius probably died

#

99.9999% of them

#

Have no idea what they're doing

#

That miniscule percentage left is Omegon

civic gale
solid horizon
#

not really

civic gale
#

FAHHH

solid horizon
#

it would be called being careful

civic gale
#

ok idea down the drain

#

i just want something that gives a chapter a reason to be hyperfocused when engaged in a task they need to make

solid horizon
#

and caution in a training situation would be more a type of discipline and tactics

civic gale
#

aka a mission

solid horizon
#

just make them hyper obedient

opaque coyote
#

They're basically all hyper focused

civic gale
#

but suffer from whats bassicly...idk adhd?? when not in mission/engaged

#

ok this idea sucks

#

onto the next one

opaque coyote
solid horizon
#

that would be a gimmick

opaque coyote
#

World Eaters

solid horizon
#

if they were CSM

opaque coyote
#

But they're more like

#

Adhd in battle

#

And the ADHD basically isn't ADHD

#

It's literally just homicidal tendencies

civic gale
#

again forget about it

opaque coyote

#

It happens

Don't worry about ideas being bad

Bad ideas happen a lot

It's up to you on whether you can salvage or not

The best summarization for SMs

hey what re inquisitors allowed to rent greyknights out for

#

and dw by extension ig

#

and SoB?

opaque coyote
cerulean trellis
opaque coyote
#

Like "this planet is one step away from being blown up"

#

Dire

cerulean trellis
# rose thorn and SoB?

holy crusade, reconquest, eliminating heretics, minor demon sightings, eradicating chaos cults, etc etc

civic gale
#

well another idea i had was something akin to a "tank" rpg class as a chapter

opaque coyote
#

Grey Knights for Chaos

cerulean trellis
#

deathwatch is not bound to a single ordo iirc

civic gale
#

by this i mean, resilient, will never give up and know that because of them worlds may fall if they fail

#

but thats probably like...every chapter too

#

sigh

opaque coyote
#

But generally DW and SoB can be applied to any situation that needs shooting

rose thorn
#

one/

opaque coyote
#

As long as it has some type of danger in it

cerulean trellis
languid meadow
#

Forgot it's a certain anniversary

civic gale
opaque coyote
#

But not one that doesn't need a group of people with Power Armor

#

Generally Inquisitors are supposed to be experienced and wise enough

civic gale
#

trying to make another

opaque coyote
#

To think of which forces

rose thorn
opaque coyote
#

And what amount of force

#

Is appropriate

cerulean trellis
#

true

civic gale
opaque coyote
#

But generally.

SoB and Deathwatch would be deployed in dangerous situations that just a group of guardsmen can't solve.

Grey Knights are for a severe amount of daemons. Like a shit ton. If you call them for nothing, they will probably just fucking shoot you in the head out of sheer annoyance

rose thorn
#

space marines have emotions thats like a thing

cerulean trellis
#

and don't forget that basically no one is allowed to know the grey knights exist

opaque coyote
#

You better have cults summoning Greater Daemons before considering to call them

near wasp
#

Hard to deny chaos exists when all you have to do is look up

opaque coyote
#

"Eh fuck it"

near wasp
#

And the grey knights might give humanity hope
