Ik all the invincible spoilers now

I FEEL SO POWERFUL

[heady rivet]

The last time I asked for it specifically hoping it would be different they linked MY trove to me

[summer mural]

also, Im pretty sure theres enough for like 4 more seasons

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

I TOLD YOU

[summer mural]

yes, a lot happens

[storm jungle]

and its not a loss either because the show actually does different stuff with Kirkman's overseeing as well

[heady rivet]

Capeslop fans when they discover reading a comic that ended over a decade ago

[summer mural]

its worth watching all the thragg fights in animation

[storm jungle]

Toyslop fans when they see someone enjoy other media

[heady rivet]

I have a friend into the MCU that does this constantly

[storm jungle]

I mean MCU sucks

Invincible doesnt

wish morons kinda knew the difference but alas, cant help the stupid

[quiet orchid]

thats why I like DC

[crystal forum]

with great power comes great need to ruin everybody else's experience

[storm jungle]

Correct, Gunn especially

[storm jungle]

Dont forget the bitches

[heady rivet]

I'm slurping my Hiveslop and injecting my Hordeslop

[storm jungle]

Chud 🫵

[quiet orchid]

Yes

[crystal forum]

how has the discord mod power been treating you in that department

[quiet orchid]

no Zack Synder here

[summer mural]

well

[heady rivet]

The trinity of?

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

Im spoiler safe now

[storm jungle]

Nada because i dont care about partners

[storm jungle]

Reading it also opens a lot of new perspectives too

you can see the amount of shit or weird decisions Kirkman has fixed so far

its really cool

[crystal forum]

kirkman giving the kirk name a good rap again

[summer mural]

well I also read it after absolute batman, absolute batman has that messy, grunge like art style and invincible is the total opposite, it couldnt be crisper and shinier

[storm jungle]

Yeah artistic difference will do that lol

I still like Dragotta's art a lot for AbsBatman

it fits the "feel" more

[summer mural]

I like both tbh, but Im not a comic book devourer generally

[storm jungle]

Invincible meanwhile is Riley going "How many teeth can I fit in this man's mouth"

[summer mural]

so I dunno what people consider like the gold standard for comic book art

[storm jungle]

there isnt one really

its like art in general

[flat nimbus]

Some Invincible art is good

[storm jungle]

theres the "greats"

[flat nimbus]

Some is not

[summer mural]

also blood droplets galore

[flat nimbus]

Kirby or Ditko for classic era, at least

otherwise, there’s Jim Lee and the DC ‘House Style’ of the past few decades, or folks like Alex Ross if you’re going big art

but it’s all so subjective, too, so

[summer mural]

also compared to absolute batman, I realized how little dialogue there is in batman lol

[flat nimbus]

Like, I love Bill Sienkiewicz

But not everyone does

[summer mural]

invincible has lots of talking

a bunch of absolute batman is just bruce or bane giving people trauma

[flat nimbus]

invincible had to come up with a way to just keep talking in space

Kirkman looooves a big dramatic monologue

[summer mural]

well I dont mind the exposition

I like lore dumps here and there

now which absolute to read next

[storm jungle]

Basically when it comes to comic art its literally just "make your pick"

[summer mural]

wonder woman?

[storm jungle]

Also deffo WW

[summer mural]

woah the first one looks interesting

[storm jungle]

Batman Serious House on Serious Earth, its a drug trip of a comic and a oneshot

[summer mural]

thats batman?!

[storm jungle]

it also inspired the Arkham Asylum game from its creep-factor

the art in it is insane

[summer mural]

I thought it was haunting of hill house or something

[storm jungle]

Yeah thats how good the artist is

its creepy as fuck

id say give it a read on comiconline, its not that long

just uhh prepare for some nonsensical shit as its very weird

[heady rivet]

Shoutout to that one story where Super-Mans entire life has to come crashing down to turn him into a world-leading tyrant and Wonder Woman is just down to do that with like 1% of the push

[summer mural]

how does the IP even work, like does a company just license it to different authors who can do their own thing with it

[storm jungle]

Overrated and overdone, next

[storm jungle]

Yes

DC/Marvel do lots of one-shot stories that arent related to the main universe

[summer mural]

also how does the black library even work , like can the writers write whatever they want and gw just has to approve or disapprove

[heady rivet]

I didnt say i like it I just am laughing at Diana being SO on-board

[storm jungle]

I mean

[summer mural]

and then they have to read each others work to write their own stuff

[heady rivet]

The Amazons are evil, yes

[storm jungle]

Not that moron

anyway

also the comic you are talking about Injustice has one of the best panels ever

"Superman is a tyrant!"

"NO he isnt!"

"HES LITERALLY SITTING ON A THRONE"

"Thats a chair"

[summer mural]

well ive never been into ww, so Im looking forward to absolute version refresh it for me

[flat nimbus]

also joker cops a bat-feel

[summer mural]

Injustice has such a cool premise that gets abused and overdone

[flat nimbus]

injustice is bad, but there is some fun in it

[summer mural]

tbh, I feel part of the tendency to make superman nasty as a premise is partly because his rogues gallery kinda sucks compared to batman and spiderman

[storm jungle]

Nah

[flat nimbus]

the sheer character assassination of Diana is a bit much for me tho

[storm jungle]

superman has a very fun villain gallery

[summer mural]

eh

[storm jungle]

its more that people thought it was original at the time

we moved on as a society

[summer mural]

I like brainiac

[storm jungle]

we like good superman again

[summer mural]

I like zod

[storm jungle]

it was a weird phase lol

[storm jungle]

PLASTICMAN YES

my goat

[summer mural]

I dont like bizzaro or the reverse superman thing

also metallo is boring

[storm jungle]

Bizarro is basically an ogryn superman hes funny

[summer mural]

luthor is actually based

[storm jungle]

"based"

you mean phenomenal

https://klipy.com/gifs/1a-lex-luthor--k01KQ2QZDPWFFVYQBYH37DTDD1T

[summer mural]

but after some point he just stops fighting superman and starts messing around all the time

[storm jungle]

I mean

[flat nimbus]

I love a good Lex

[storm jungle]

thats every villian

anyway

[flat nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-dcau-suspicious-lookout-hmm-gif-18547998

[summer mural]

did any of the 10000 superman movies ever have a black luthor

[heady rivet]

Me in the pussy if we're being honest

[storm jungle]

honesty would be not even seeing pussy

[flat nimbus]

yes such luminaries as Mister Mxyzptlk, or Parasite

[storm jungle]

Lmao Mxy

actual goat

[heady rivet]

You're right I close my eyes its too scary

[summer mural]

the knockoff mad hatter

[storm jungle]

i like how every time he shows up superman is just "Fuck off"

[flat nimbus]

it’s true I do love him

[storm jungle]

Toyman?

[flat nimbus]

I think My Adventures w/ Superman’s version is my favorite?

[heady rivet]

I wanted to strangle that little shit as a child watching the cartoons

[summer mural]

also did you say bizarro is ogryn superman lmao

[storm jungle]

HES A TINY TWINK THERE

[storm jungle]

HE LITERLALY IS

"Me am superman! ME AM GOOD"

Smashes building

[storm jungle]

GW holds the entire IP, from there its varying methods

• If you are a bigshot author that wrote a lot for 40k you can just propose an idea for a story and if it gets accepted you can write whatever you want with a bit of oversight
• If theres a big upcoming tabletop thing you can be tasked to write a novel for it (these usually suck hard)
• If you're an upcoming author you will be writing Short stories until something sticks then can get permission to write an actual novel

Its an extremely cutthroat industry, theres a reason most of these people dont stick around minus a few big names

[flat nimbus]

he’s a tiny twink everywhere else too, but especially there

[storm jungle]

I remember Josh Reynolds the guy that wrote the Bile trilogy posting an ENTIRE LIST on Twitter of all his rejected novel ideas, it got extremely depressing the more I read down and down on it

[summer mural]

sounds like a lot of hard work tbh, also seems like you're creatively constrained

[storm jungle]

Again it depends

theres a lot of factors at play

[summer mural]

also I guess most of the nice characters come from writers so fair enough

[storm jungle]

writing novels as it is is not easy lol

[summer mural]

like valkia

[storm jungle]

theres some real lightning in bottles

See anything Mike Brooks or Robert Rath writes

[summer mural]

40k probably has comic books right, it seems like it definitely should

[storm jungle]

It does but its not a lot

[heady rivet]

Link? I feel like ruining my day

[flat nimbus]

there’ve been some

[summer mural]

I mean half the memes people make are just fan made comic book panels

[flat nimbus]

I think Gillen did a book

[storm jungle]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Category:Comics_and_Graphic_Novels

[crystal forum]

it has one that shows the closest depiction of a man of iron

but it isnt really one

[storm jungle]

holy shit man this list

every one that sounds fun is rejected lmao

no wonder he quit

[summer mural]

bruh

[storm jungle]

YEP

[summer mural]

those are great

40K story. Sly Marbo Vs. Boss Snikrot.

[crystal forum]

wow BL turns down a lot of shit

[storm jungle]

yall got no idea how deep this goes

[jade holly]

Are there any books that’s just that one scene in Injustice where Flash and Superman play chess and argue morality and methods? I like stories that are a battle of philosophy and wits

[storm jungle]

unless you're a bigshot like Abnett you cant do anything

[summer mural]

also the fantasy ones are awesome, mostly because ik fantasy more than 40k

[storm jungle]

uh i dunno

[crystal forum]

is it because they just dont want to fund it or smth

[storm jungle]

Its complicated

its basically about author having enough clout to get trusted to write these as well as "if its worth the investment"

BL in reality is just throwing shit at the wall to get people reading them to buy minis

[heady rivet]

I'm fucking killing myself

[storm jungle]

YOU WERE WARNED

[crystal forum]

man it's literally like getting a tv show picked up by stingy producers

[summer mural]

WHF story. Ghorros Warhoof drunkenly defeats a challenger, and is approached by Archaon to join his forces. Ghorros implies Archaon is his illegitimate son, leading to a fight.

THIS IS LEGENDARY.

[crystal forum]

MORE SPACE MARINE BOOKS

[flat nimbus]

you might enjoy Hickman’s New Avengers, or Gillen’s uhhh Immortal X-Men I think was the Quiet Council one?

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/its-alll-so-tiresome-tired-gif-14029153

[jade holly]

I meant in 40K smh

[flat nimbus]

oh 🙁

[storm jungle]

Notice how theres marine books in here but they arent based on big name chapters so get instantly rejected

[crystal forum]

even the fucking fabius bile one

no wonder sometimes im reading a book and it feels like the author wanted to write about something else and just chose the main theme based on it being popular

[storm jungle]

^

[heady rivet]

Lamenters book actually could have been neat but I swear I aint a redditor

[storm jungle]

its VERY obvious in some novels

[summer mural]

my mind got superhero tuned after reading invincible and ab batman, Im compensating by playing marvels midnight suns

[storm jungle]

you can outright feel some editor came in and went "Yeah we are changing this"

[rose thorn]

Not a single AOS novel

[flat nimbus]

Midnight Suns is good

[storm jungle]

This was pre-AOS

[crystal forum]

is that not WHF

[storm jungle]

LMAO

JAY

[crystal forum]

idk man

[rose thorn]

Ahh

[storm jungle]

racist

[summer mural]

yeah Ik, i played it before but I didnt finish it

[summer mural]

this time Im gonna finish it

[storm jungle]

maggie cant read....

[summer mural]

also Im gonna play a lot more deadpool this time

[jade holly]

The Man from N.A.G.A.S.H

[flat nimbus]

Do you have the DLC? They’re supposed to be pretty solid

[heady rivet]

Sad! Expected of an AoS fan

[summer mural]

yep

[flat nimbus]

oh nevermind yeah

[rose thorn]

I couldn’t load the Reddit page lmao

[summer mural]

I still havent unlocked cap or wolverine but Ive gotten hunters bladestorm already

or storm

[storm jungle]

The WHF fan said, lobotomizedly

[heady rivet]

Chaos Cult romance...

[rose thorn]

GERMANY IS THE GOOD GUYS!!!! NO TURK- GOBLINS ALLOWED!!!

[heady rivet]

I replaced my frontal cortex with a Steam Tank

[fervent geode]

WHF is good for the fucking Vampire Pirates

Bring that to AoS someday I need it

[summer mural]

harkon is based

[fervent geode]

More of a Noctilus guy meself

[summer mural]

but nagash is already around , whats he gonna do with some vampirates

[fervent geode]

Utilise them

[summer mural]

hel probably just toss their bones into the bonereapers

[rose thorn]

Despise making up 13% of the old world population greenskins commit 50% of wars

[summer mural]

although deepkin being a thing, they could have some nice undead ocean battles

[fervent geode]

Exactly

[storm jungle]

they exist in AoS too

[fervent geode]

Really

[storm jungle]

ironically AOS vamps are like really diverse

[fervent geode]

I was not told

Do they have a range?

[storm jungle]

its like WHF vampirates, you gotta dig to find them lol

[summer mural]

also iirc, the male druchii arent a thing yet in aos, like an army

[fervent geode]

Are they under Soulblight?

[storm jungle]

Under soulblight but nah its just "they exist"

[summer mural]

or 'malerion'

[rancid cove]

Told the artist to make the wings of my warbands icon bigger

[fervent geode]

Guhhhh I could find no novels, at least Dreadfleet exists in WHFB

[storm jungle]

the current vamps in AOS are more cossack/european

[rose thorn]

It was basically not even a thing in WHFB, WHFB fans only play total war warhammer and use racial stereotypes as a basis for why their settings is more realistic

[fervent geode]

Fuck

[rancid cove]

to make it take more room in the shoulderpad

[fervent geode]

Smdh we aren’t with them, my cousin had Vampirates before End Times

[rose thorn]

There is also Japanese vampires

[storm jungle]

yeah the ones that fought the khorne furries lmao

[fervent geode]

Cool, but FEC better

[summer mural]

also aos undead are kinda more interesting than zombies and also zombies with guns and crabs, like flesh eater courts and bonereapers are kinda much more creative than vampire skeleton zombie trifecta

[storm jungle]

Tbh thats the same in WHF

[fervent geode]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

the Vampire Counts are like... there lol

they get a much bigger lift in AOS

[rose thorn]

SBGL are the least interesting of the death factions

But consider how good SBGL are

[fervent geode]

Exactly

[storm jungle]

and have like actual domains and shit that isnt just 1 shitty province

also girlboss Neferata finally rules

[summer mural]

sylvania is a utopian paradise!

[rose thorn]

THE WOLF THE WOLF THE WOLF

[fervent geode]

Sorry but if your Vampirates aren’t there im not leaving Ushoran

[heady rivet]

Bone IRS best undead

[rose thorn]

They exists in lore

I believe in ulgu?

There is also pirate skaven

[fervent geode]

Yeah but no range, at least WHFB had a shitty one iirc

[summer mural]

also nefarata actually being dominant and in charge is kinda nice, instead of just sitting and gathering gossip most of the time like she was in fantasy

[fervent geode]

With a little rules I think

So the great King Ushoran remains King

[rose thorn]

Kitbash that shit dog lmao

Something 40k fans never even heard of before

[fervent geode]

You know what

[fervent geode]

Smdh it’s called Cults and Militia

[rose thorn]

Greenstuff tricorn hats aren’t that hard

[rose thorn]

That’s HH

[fervent geode]

Yeah

All kitbashing goeth there

[rose thorn]

And necromudna

And gsc

And GKs

Space marine players forgot the art of a head swap

[fervent geode]

We use Munda, GSC, BFME, IG, CSM and other things for Cults and Militia

[summer mural]

WHF story. A knight of Morr reluctantly joins forces with a Blood Dragon in order to end the growing threat of a Necrarch and his disciples.

[rose thorn]

BFME???

[fervent geode]

KITBASHING VAMPIRE COAST AND RUNNING THEM AS CITIES AHHAHAHAHAHAH

[fervent geode]

The LOTR minis, battle for middle earth

[rose thorn]

There is a pirate city of sigmar

[rose thorn]

Oh

[fervent geode]

Yeah some people run their levy sections

With bows…

[fervent geode]

Thanks, sweet potential unlocked rn

[rose thorn]

Misthaven rocks you should read the lex

[fervent geode]

I’m fucking running there rn boss

[storm jungle]

It fits her character as well

[rose thorn]

Like every faction in AOS has a pirate group in lore

[storm jungle]

she died in the embrace of her sister wishing they could rule together and is now left with an entire realm all to herself with no one to trust or turn to in confidence

[fervent geode]

Literally sartosa

Free guild fusiliers are totally zombie deckhands

[rose thorn]

KO has an entire pirate playstyle

[fervent geode]

It’s going on the bucket list

[rose thorn]

They have like the most pirate models

Steampunk pirate dwarves

[fervent geode]

No stunties

[summer mural]

dorf hatred? I approve.

[fervent geode]

This is a drukhari/druchii/ har kuron society we hate stunties

[summer mural]

actually

that one guy with the guns on his moustache is cool

he can live.

[fervent geode]

Guns on the moustache is real

True

[summer mural]

also

whats the difference in aos lizardmen and fantasy ones

like Ik they are mostly the same

but they did get like new units

and do they have an hq somewhere

also seems like they ought to be pals with sigmar for the most part

[fervent geode]

They are now part of the order alliance afaik

And uh mazdamundi is dead and I think kroak is more alive than in WHFB

They also still haven’t got a battletome for this Ed

Which sucks

[timid pasture]

Whos Sigmar?

and what are stormcast eternals

[storm jungle]

Sigmar is the main ascended god of most of humanity in Warhammer Fantasy then Age of Sigmar its sequel setting

[flat nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/victor-saltzpyre-gif-22117141

[storm jungle]

basically magic roided out paladins in big lightning armor that serve sigmar

[summer mural]

sigmar is conan the barbarian but he got to become a god

[storm jungle]

^

[summer mural]

stormcast eternal are uh, actually exactly this tbh

[outer wave]

Sigmar is the barbarian king from original fantasy before ascending as a god in AoS. He leads the stormcasts, who are basically his version of Nagash's Ossariach Bonereapers.

[timid pasture]

Thats cool

[storm jungle]

Ye

[timid pasture]

So theyre kind of like Space marines in a way

[timid pasture]

Ohhh

[summer mural]

YES

[timid pasture]

I aint know that

Whos nagash though?

[storm jungle]

long story

necromancer cunt

[fervent geode]

GOD

[summer mural]

hes the god of the dead

[summer mural]

sigmarines

[fervent geode]

die

[storm jungle]

kill yourself

[summer mural]

[outer wave]

They're like space marines basically in archetype of fantasy they play into up until you get into the nitty gritty details

[summer mural]

I cant wait for half the stormcast 'chapters' to fall to chaos

[storm jungle]

marines are literally knights in space

so lol

[timid pasture]

Ohh that makes much more sense

[summer mural]

well stormcast were needed

[storm jungle]

[fervent geode]

Torglug Heresy

[heady rivet]

Thats not my name

Oh I see

[timid pasture]

Cuz most factions didn’t have a Chaos Warrior equivalent in fantasy right?

[summer mural]

the humans didnt have like any answer to chaos warriors and chosen apart from shooting them

yes

[storm jungle]

Shut up

[summer mural]

not most

mostly humans

[fervent geode]

It works though

[storm jungle]

basically none minus Bretonnia

who had Grail Knights

[summer mural]

also not brets yes

[heady rivet]

"Barbarian"
HE UNITED THE TRIBES IS WHAT HE DID

[timid pasture]

I wonder how the empire and kislev fought them off for so long

[summer mural]

"united"

[fervent geode]

HON HON HON I HAVE MY LADEE AND MY BAGUTEE AND MY GRAAL JONUONHON

[outer wave]

Yes

[fervent geode]

Magic, Halberds and Guns

A lot of Guns and Magic especially

[summer mural]

the elector count of stirland and averland are still continuing their duel at that one ford in the river stir

[flat nimbus]

basically the same way y’do it in Vermintide

[fervent geode]

It’s AoS but they are still fighting on some realm

[fervent geode]

Exactly lol

[summer mural]

I wouldnt credit kislev with too much victory anyway

[storm jungle]

^

[fervent geode]

Usually they get steamrolled

[storm jungle]

they basically burn Prague and continue forth

lmao

[fervent geode]

And then the Empire has to help

[timid pasture]

Thats really cool

[summer mural]

kislevites fight sure, but they arent the empire

[fervent geode]

The Guns never go out of style

[summer mural]

in lore kislev is also not particularly rich

[timid pasture]

I heard it was the nation keeping the northern tribes from attacking everyone basically

[celest dome]

Kislev also has quite a smaller population

[fervent geode]

Way smaller

[timid pasture]

They Were a nation with lots of experience fighting chaos

[fervent geode]

And little to no guns

[summer mural]

they were the first line of defense yes and suffered a lot for it

[celest dome]

Norscan usually go through the Kraken sea and raid the coast

[fervent geode]

Nordland esp

It’s how Diederick Kastner was born

Unfortunately

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

praag is (prague) and its got like entire walls and footpaths that have mutated into faces of the screaming dead or some such because of how much chaos affects it

[storm jungle]

we dont talk about the Betrayer

[fervent geode]

Fine

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/archaon-archaon-the-everchosen-warhammer-gif-5796486709650142307

[fervent geode]

So irl Prague

[storm jungle]

seriously tho i read Archaon's novel

its depressing as shit

[vagrant fox]

as it should be

[fervent geode]

He genuinely never wanted to be, fuck you Horus with your bs

[storm jungle]

he legit doesnt want to become the everchosen but realises he has no choice and that its his destiny when sigmar doesnt answer his prayers

[summer mural]

doesnt he just start screaming in anguish and pain as he desperately begs for sigmar to give him a sign

[storm jungle]

yep

[fervent geode]

He did

[storm jungle]

and he gets nothing

[fervent geode]

That’s when I realised I hate Sigmar

[storm jungle]

To be fair

i imagine Sigmar tried

[summer mural]

well sigmar gives him a sign later alright, when they toss each other into the apocalyptic void

[storm jungle]

but the chaos gods just stopped it as he wasnt a full on god yet

[fervent geode]

True

[vagrant fox]

Sigmar left for ciggies and milk and never came back until it was too late he's a dick ok

[storm jungle]

that sign being a hammer smashing his skull

ngl i love how even as the entire planet was blowing up those two were still fighting over that hammer, its so good

[flat nimbus]

HE WAS BUSY OKAY

[fervent geode]

I don’t really blame Sigmar, but it’s still gut wrenching

[storm jungle]

Sigmar hurts because he really is just a good guy lol

[vagrant fox]

busy doing what, getting ciggies and milk and fucking around in Cathay or something?

[storm jungle]

thats what you do you chud

[vagrant fox]

no

[storm jungle]

yes

[vagrant fox]

I'm projecting a bit because my dads name is Sigmar and he was never home but still

[summer mural]

i mean sigmar is not to blame, im sure plenty of people dont get a sign from sigmar , they dont go on a time dilated journey to strangle bloodthirsters and climb living mountains to earn the favour of all the 4 chaos gods and bring about total destruction

[fervent geode]

I beg of you my lord, find use for me again…

[storm jungle]

😭

it makes it more tragic with the transition into AOS as well

[opaque coyote]

Archaon trying harder to avoid his destiny compared to like every traitor Primarch.

[storm jungle]

Archaon is just a apocalyptic monster now

[summer mural]

well

[storm jungle]

and has destroyed entire universes and realities pre-AOS

[fervent geode]

There’s no more Kastner

[summer mural]

he doesnt have the cool horse anymore

[storm jungle]

yep

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

he just rides the horse in monster form

[fervent geode]

Which is sad because now he now Sigmar can save people like Tornus

But there’s no Kastner to save

It’s fucking sad

[storm jungle]

Its basically too late for him yeah

[summer mural]

archaon will meet his end when he faces gotrek on a bad day

[opaque coyote]

Like if I remember correctly. He even tried to kill himself to avoid becoming the ever chosen. Only to just get that reverted.

[storm jungle]

[fervent geode]

He should get the Sonne Edits in youtube no Horus

[storm jungle]

ngl it really makes you realise how epic WHF/AOS as settings and character-wise are compared to 40k lol

[opaque coyote]

Or was it some alt. Timeline bullshit? I can't really remember.

[storm jungle]

legit so jealous of these folks

im stuck in 40k lmao

[fervent geode]

I like 40K for the assholery mainly

[storm jungle]

Same but the nazism gets boring sometimes

[fervent geode]

The actual tragedy is better in settings with bad but also good

[summer mural]

well fantasy has its problems , but a lot of fantasy is just neatly tied up in that static map, 40k is like, everything happening everywhere all at once

[storm jungle]

it barely has problems compared to 40k

[fervent geode]

Anarchistic murder is less so maybe

[rose thorn]

“Guys the imperiums time is alsmoy up!!!! The are about to lose guys!!! Did you see the art of the hour glass???”

[vagrant fox]

They're good for different reasons to me, I like that 40k is a shithole with no hope and no good guys. The chuddery isn't so great but I can ignore it mostly

[opaque coyote]

Either way Archaon > Whorus

[summer mural]

40k is admittedly massively bloated

[storm jungle]

the problem is most people dont think this

[summer mural]

like its just infinite

[storm jungle]

thats what causes the issues

[fervent geode]

Yeah, like the chuddery that has invaded WHFB sadly

[summer mural]

theres infinite space marine strike team and stories and infinite chaos warband stories

[vagrant fox]

Some people think the earth is flat, what can you do

[rose thorn]

BUT AOS IS CHUD FREE BABYYYYYY

[opaque coyote]

Honestly the problem is on some level that there's no contrast due to how it's built.

Very little light to make the shadows more apparent.

[fervent geode]

You have dwarves, that’s where the chuds spawn

[vagrant fox]

Gamers started liking WHFB and the chuddery started coming 😔

[rose thorn]

Chuds HATE AOS duardin

[outer wave]

Im sure it has its fair share of chuddies

[fervent geode]

Kill the stunties and we’ll be safe

[rose thorn]

Nope

[summer mural]

my fav thing about so far is the most important thing lol, aos has awesome faction design and unit design

[vagrant fox]

that's ok

[rose thorn]

They play old world

[storm jungle]

Same with Votann, im glad they made the Kin "we'll kill or trade with anyone, your race is meaningless, PAY UP"

[fervent geode]

KILL THEM OR THE OLD WORLD CHUDS WILL TAKE OUR CHUDLESS REALMS

KILL STUNTIES

[summer mural]

like aos just going all in on minimizing horses and everyone having monster looking mounts is cool

[rose thorn]

The AOS duardin are UBER woke

We have women

[near wasp]

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[outer wave]

What???? 🤯

[summer mural]

ew 'duardin' no ones buying that just call them dorfs

[fervent geode]

So do the guard and yet look at the chuds gooning

[storm jungle]

Only also took them like 40 years to finally add female dwarves to WHF too

[fervent geode]

About damn time

[summer mural]

theres female dorfs in fantasy apart from belegar?

[storm jungle]

you forgot, women in guard are fine UNTIL they are any ethnicity that isnt white (this isnt a joke)

[rose thorn]

They chose the name duardin in respect of their ancestors and the gods

[fervent geode]

Oh yeah that

[spare osprey]

You're convincing me...

[fervent geode]

Fuck them lmao

[summer mural]

no they didnt, gw just didnt want to call them dwarfs again

[outer wave]

That or if they're just a bit too bitchy or in a high position than the MCs

[fervent geode]

Anyways come to Flesh Eater Courts we have flesh to eat and courts

[rose thorn]

Women in general or women duardin?

[storm jungle]

Lmao dont remind me

[opaque coyote]

It's not really that much of a complaint.

But it does send some mixed signals to new people getting into the setting that's for sure.

And also things like the Imperium being the worst regime of mankind's history. But it's relatively rare to often feel that beyond lore blurbs. Especially on many surface level media for 40k. You kinda have to dig a little to truly feel it.

[storm jungle]

the unisex-ism in factions is a post-2018 thing yeah

it has widely affected all 3 warhammer settings

[quiet orchid]

hi guys, what are you talking about?

[fervent geode]

It’s on the front of every book, but alas illiteracy rises

[summer mural]

also I feel like fantasy does daemons better

[rose thorn]

And elf in Elfish is literally aelf to the aelfs call them selves in their own language

[heady rivet]

How we HATE Flesh Tearers and their fans

Oh

HEEEEU

I dont deserve it

Im a cool girl

[fervent geode]

[fervent geode]

MORE LIKE CRETINCIANS

[fervent geode]

Bald

[summer mural]

gabriel seth has a couple of auramaxxing moments

[quiet orchid]

DONT TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT MY GOAT GABRIEL!!

[vagrant fox]

GW should show it a bit more rather than just state it yeah

[opaque coyote]

Yup. But there's a difference between what the introduction tells and the rest of the book at times.

Reading it and feeling it are unfortunately very different. Rarely is a non-Imperium POV not the protagonist. And most of the time it's someone who's a part of something even worse.

[rose thorn]

Oh and

[summer mural]

like that time he admits his legion is a bunch of frenzied murderous killers and ask for them to be supported anyway

that takes aura

[outer wave]

Holy shit I really didnt know they had female dwarf models nice

[vagrant fox]

People did whinge about Lieutenant Mira a bit when SM1 first came out I remember, wasn't as bad as the more modern whinging

[spare osprey]

Huzzah for my Spanish-inspired regiments and leaders.
And my Cuban sector governess.

[rose thorn]

They are new, the kit comes with a SHITLOAD of heads so I plan to just scramble them into the rest of my KO

[fervent geode]

In Wrath of the Lost the most recent FT book

Seth took all FT off cretacia except 5
And left it alone for 20 years

THEN WAS SURPRISED A CHAOS WARBAND SHACKED UP IN HIS FORTRESS MONASTERY
THE LEADER LITERALLY WAS WEARING AMITS TERMIE PLATE

[outer wave]

Its that or characters in Darktide like Dukane or Hallowette

[summer mural]

mira is fine

[vagrant fox]

or those

[fervent geode]

https://tenor.com/view/war-war-calls-time-to-game-lets-play-cod-gif-22194896

[heady rivet]

Only racist if you're too good at it

[opaque coyote]

Like I said. Sends very mixed signals a lot of the time. It was my personal experience when I just got into 40k.

It's definitely due to it being mainstream. Along with how stories typically want the reader to root for the protagonist.

Honestly best solution is to make more books on the average rebellion pov. No chaos or GSC. You're gonna hate me for making this comparison. But imagine the YA dystopia format but in 40k. You will know that they will lose.

But you don't know how.

[summer mural]

the young adults lose?

[opaque coyote]

In this case yeah.

[summer mural]

dont they all make out with each other, the third wheel dies and they have babies?

[opaque coyote]

Cause the Imperium is far more crushing than the typical YA dystopia.

Far more violent.

It is the worst regime in mankind's history.

[vagrant fox]

get owned racistlet

[opaque coyote]

It would be a slow slog of misery that starts out optimistic.

[fervent geode]

The ones I read generally have some casual brutality or some such (chaos books)

But I suppose some of the entry level ones

They are having the issues you describe glaringly

[opaque coyote]

Which is fine tbh. My favorite detail about the Cain novels is how casual the violence is

Like you read about him normally and then suddenly

[vagrant fox]

Sad, I pity you

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah so we used criminals as target practic-"

[fervent geode]

I pity you what I’m putting myself through

[fervent geode]

All this because I lost a monopoly game

I could’ve stayed WB

Feels like a minicel moment

[heady rivet]

Its nothing special, its just that Cain is so unusually a GOOD guy in the universe that it feels weird when it happenbs. If it was any other book nobody would be surprised

[summer mural]

I want like

[heady rivet]

"Good" in heavy quotation marks

[fervent geode]

Have a wip

[opaque coyote]

Yeah the authors definitely try to portray the Imperium and other factions as it is on more passionate works.

But the Bolter porn? Yeah they can't be arsed lmao.

[summer mural]

an image of chaos titans parked in a planet in the warp at some dark mechanicus base

because chaos titans appearing is cool

[fervent geode]

Shooting gun loudly did Goonicus Macimus kill the evil screaming cultists of the Sussy Baka cult

[opaque coyote]

Yeah which is why it's my favorite bits of detail.

Even a relatively "good" person is trapped within the banality of evil.

[fervent geode]

It’s fact of life alas

[solid horizon]

I am under the impression GW is replacing Ultramarines with Blood Angels and Black Legion with Iron Warriors

I know I know it sounds obvious

[heady rivet]

Please get me in contact with your dealer

A pusher asks for a dealer huh

[fervent geode]

Android fell to Slaaneshi Chems today

[solid horizon]

I meant commercially wise

[fervent geode]

Yeah tbh idts, neither are genericus enough

UM are the generalist chapter and have been the poster boys for a long while

BL is the same role but in chaos

Blood Angels are a weirdo supplement chapter that’s played and has different stuff as compared to other mehreens

Less so for IW but their getting dad back

[hallow saddle]

the McNiven ones are fine

[fervent geode]

Yeah I’ve heard as much

MacNiven is an alright writer

Based on Oaths

[hallow saddle]

fine to actually fairly good

[fervent geode]

Good to hear

[near wasp]

I really liked the carcaradons books

Oaths of damnnation didn't hook me but Ive not been able to get hooked into many books lately

[steel ingot]

i wonder why they are the "redditor chapter" now

first i heard of the shark boys was seeing them as one of the paint options in sm2 lmao

[near wasp]

Idk

I have the carcaradons dlc and I live just cutting through enemies until I resemble one of the red breathre

[storm jungle]

Because everyone just looks at them and wanks them

they have basically lost their entire allure and are just a gimmick le epic chapter

[fervent geode]

Tyberos memes spread it further

So he went from a ominous somewhat big chapter master

To the 11th Primarch super strong one shot Abbadon

[storm jungle]

^

hes literally a single inch tall btw

[near wasp]

Oh shit mini marine

[fervent geode]

It’s Voss all over again

[vagrant fox]

I don't know why they went polynesian all of a sudden

It's a weird decision to me

[steel ingot]

i can only assume its because british people just had to think really hard "what do we associate with sharks"

[heady rivet]

GW loves to go "What if they were...foreign?" for a lot of lore overhauls

[summer mural]

[vagrant fox]

ig

Polynesians are cool but applying that to space sharks is odd

[summer mural]

"make them exotic, variety !"

[steel ingot]

pictured here the first GW employee to think

[summer mural]

perty at childbirth

[jade holly]

Isn’t it literally just the armor that makes him look taller but outside of it he’s just a wee bit bulkier?

[steel ingot]

what gets me about the shark boys is why do they prefer from what i understand is the poverty armor

[heady rivet]

Its not a preference, its just what they have

[steel ingot]

ah poverty in the sea

many such cases

[heady rivet]

They're been on the edge of the Imperium doing their own thing for 10k years

[storm jungle]

Yeah lol

[fervent geode]

They are nomad predation, forge world resupplies are few and far between

[jade holly]

The shark uses only what the ocean provides

[vagrant fox]

Almost every single chapter master is described as taller than their peers I swear

[heady rivet]

They raid Imperial planets and other chapters for resupply

[fervent geode]

MacNiven mostly gave them those themes

[fervent geode]

Yeah, their Red Tithe

[vagrant fox]

yeah but the decision is odd to me

[fervent geode]

Esp for recruits iirc

[storm jungle]

TLDR explanation: Forgeworld marine displays love using 30k bits so they just use old armor marks in canon

before the Primaris Nation attacked....

[storm jungle]

its classic GW cultural appropriation, dont worry about it

[steel ingot]

those mark 5 helms are fugly though

[vagrant fox]

i will

[heady rivet]

My manlet chapter master is making us look lame as fuck. The planetary governor thought he was an Inquisitor in Power Armor 🥀

[fervent geode]

That too lol, rip all of the non Indomitus termies

[vagrant fox]

I will worry about it

as long as the space wolves exist

[steel ingot]

are the grey knights still manlets

[fervent geode]

They could at least do a better job with it smdh, look at the Scars I love them

[steel ingot]

i remember once playing a team of them and i swear to god to this day those models were smaller than regular space marines

[fervent geode]

If you mean whether they are still firstborn for all we know they are

[fervent geode]

Yeah their range is from 2011

[vital ginkgo]

Can humanity win if we got Mordecai and Rigby to help us out?

[vagrant fox]

sure

[vital ginkgo]

Sweet

[fervent geode]

Mordecai and Rigby immediately fall to Slaanesh

[vagrant fox]

muscle man also

[fervent geode]

But yeah it’ll be cool

[storm jungle]

Not them no

they need to ask Skips

[fervent geode]

Like Fulgrim will take over and we can be bros

[storm jungle]

he knows people

Skips could likely bring some of his pals over from DAOT to help out the universe

https://klipy.com/gifs/disco-pose--k01KQ31Y86J2Y9R14CTX7PGPXSP

[vital ginkgo]

Mordecai, Rigby, Rick, and Morty. We winning or no?

[storm jungle]

(im not even joking btw)

[storm jungle]

Uhhhh

[fervent geode]

Everyone falls to Slaanesh and Fulgrim takes over

[steel ingot]

skip knows a guy and its malcador actually alive or something

[celest dome]

Would they want to help the Imperium though ?

[fervent geode]

No

[storm jungle]

its important to remember Mordecai and Rigby literally nearly destroy their own universe at several points

💀

[fervent geode]

They’d probably try to kill Mordecai and Rigby for existing

[storm jungle]

nah not that

they'd try to put them to work

and Rigby would go

[vagrant fox]

I'm looking at Carcharodons names and the list is too goofy even for for space marines
You've got fellers like Tyberos, Mannfor, Bail Sharr, Red Thane, Signifier Niko, Ryzmor and then fellows like uhh Tangata Manu, Uthulu, and Khauri?

[fervent geode]

I mean if they saw them

With no context

[storm jungle]

"Slave Labor? MAN, THAT MEANS I HAVE TO WORK! NO THANKS LOSER!"

[fervent geode]

This fuckin bird and thing is talking

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

tbh

[fervent geode]

Considering the Sons of Orar are a thing

[summer mural]

the stormcast tend to have pretty onpoint chapter names

[fervent geode]

There could be a Sons of Joe out there

[vagrant fox]

They almost killed the Marines Malevolent which is a stain on them but otherwise they're cool

[fervent geode]

Wait who

Star Phantoms?

[summer mural]

the marines malevolent

[steel ingot]

someone make the warrior adepts the new reddit chapter

[summer mural]

you mean the Emperor's Toes?

[vagrant fox]

'The Chapter was counted as one of those who participated in the Macharian Crusade, but after the death of Lord Solar Macharius participated in the Imperial civil war known as the Macharian Heresy. The Star Phantoms were said to have been subsequently responsible for the annihilation of the 17th Terrax Guard on Thoth, and the near destruction of their former allies, the Marines Malevolent. Ultimately, the Chapter was cleared of heresy by the Inquisition.'

Whops

[fervent geode]

How tf

Good job Macharius

ah yes brazen claws

i love goofy quartet paterns

they fascinate me

[fervent geode]

Anyways Crimson Fists and Night Lord Inductii also wear blue and reds they just do it well

[summer mural]

like do some techpriests go out there with the most sacred cloth they could find dip it in guillimans sweat and then rub the BIG E down

[steel ingot]

like howling griffins and novamarines get a pass for looking actually cool

but there's just as many if not more quartet patterns looking like a handful of crayons rather than a fully fledged genetic super soldier

[storm jungle]

its VERY easy to make it look goofy

[vagrant fox]

yeah

[heady rivet]

The Imperium if it was corporatist

[storm jungle]

god

thats actually an amazing idea

imagine being killed by corporate marines just covered in sponsors

[vagrant fox]

This is the only time the Salamanders were cool

[storm jungle]

[steel ingot]

i really liked the idea of using sorta old ww1 era weird camo

[vagrant fox]

I was toying with the idea of corporate guard in my sector but maybe corporate marines is better 🤔

[storm jungle]

Guard is easier

[heady rivet]

Already exists, I think I'd have to refind it but I saw an animation like that. It had not-Space Marines making plans based around if their healthcare could cover it

[storm jungle]

you can also look at Jopall as an inspiration

She's right. The suits were privately owned by the corporations, not sponsored suits in the military

Some of the armors are straight up walking advertisement billboards

Same thing tbh

[vagrant fox]

very nice

[heady rivet]

Because the military and the corporations of pre-war America were basically 1:1 via the deep state

who are they even advertising to

[vagrant fox]

rioters at home or something

[solid horizon]

Cleansed

[heady rivet]

Pre-War America was hyper-militarist and jingoist (themes and such) so companies would buy power armor to basically march around like mascots at events for the company and product

[solid horizon]

Imagine they take their helmet off and they're mr clean

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, I actually like that

Like as an excuse to add paint jobs to power armor

Also because it has potential to be fucking hilarious

Like imagine some random Chinese soldier seeing someone with Nuka Cola paint

The last thing they see before they die is advertisement for a nice refreshing quantum

And now you continue that tradition

Also the 76 power armor skins genuinely look great

Too bad it's skins

Something that I do generally wish Fallout did more is add some more Chinese/Soviet styled weapons

Might seem too close to stalker in that regard but it'd be fun

Something I liked in Fo3 was being able to use the Chinese Assault Rifle

[celest dome]

Didn't a doctor organisation raise some red flags about how organ transplants had accelerated in China in the last 10-ish years ?

[arctic talon]

Yes those are allegations

There’s no evidence(yet)

[vagrant fox]

those falun gong members had it coming

[arctic talon]

lol

I hate them but I think getting your organs harvested is a bit severe

[crystal forum]

being an organ donor should really come by default shouldn't it

like we should be opting to not give our organs instead of the other way around

[sour hornet]

I want to read but I hate reading

I should day drink

I need to read more space marine action scenes to help with homebrewing but going through the deathwatch books is simultaneously freaky and headache inducing

[hallow saddle]

how about israel having the largest human skin stock in the world but a low rate of organ donation
