[rigid dune]

So in example, not going through the warp like the elfs does is the "bad" way of doing space travel?

[storm jungle]

Yes

the Warp is in no way an efficient way to FTL

lol

it isnt like Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune etc where you actually wont get destroyed during transit and generally arrive very fast in a location

[raven stone]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/gpaqpfb5/the-vostroyan-firstborn-return-for-a-made-to-order-muster/

[storm jungle]

Warp Travel is very problematic

[rigid dune]

But if the elfs have the tech to avoid the going through the warp, would not mechanichus have to say that tech is superior then?

[storm jungle]

I mean you can

then you'll get shot lol

Eldar techology is anything beyond what the Imperium has

[raven stone]

To be clear Webway is relatively more stable than IoM methods but is still labyrinthine and dangerous

[plush mason]

battletech has the fastest FTL funny enough, literally point a to b instantly because physics be damned

[storm jungle]

Also you are applying logic to a faction that is space-nazis with the extremely dogmatic and backwards views

the Imperium is in no way logical in tons of the stuff they do

[raven stone]

In the case of Ad Mech they are convinced something superior has already been invented by the STCs in the past

[plush mason]

the imperium is literally the exact opposite of logical

[raven stone]

And STCs...are actually genuinely more powerful than Xenostech

[storm jungle]

They arent

Necron/Eldar at their height trumped anything humanity had

[heady rivet]

The funny part is a big step in Emps plan was an Imperial Webway

[raven stone]

...did they update the damn lore from 3rd edition yet again lol

[storm jungle]

3rd edition

[plush mason]

yeah no DAOT tech is nothing compared to Eldar tech from the same period

[storm jungle]

my brother

lol

thats like 60 years ago

[raven stone]

Oi

[storm jungle]

Eldar literally did not even fight wars anymore and necrons had literal universal wars

humanity is not near that level

[raven stone]

At most 2 decades :p

[heady rivet]

Meanwhile your average Endgame Stellaris empire tech-mogs all of sci-fi

[storm jungle]

What was the rule again

the ultimate civilization is the one that has like no need to do anything and dont even bodily exist in the material realm or something

also something-something dyson spheres

[heady rivet]

In Stellaris you can change the number for pi

[rose thorn]

The comments on the YouTube post are insane

“Gw finally remembered there is more regiments then krieg and cadians!”

Flash backs to 9th edition with the official guides to kitbash first borns

[raven stone]

STCs not even matching 40k Eldar tech does seem to make it pointless as a plot point

Even if I can appreciate the intent to piss on the Imperium in general

[storm jungle]

I mean not really?

STCs are incredibly important pieces of technology, you are comparing atom bombs to galaxy destroyer tech

[plush mason]

its still better than the shit the imperium makes now, and or they can fill in gaps in the armory

[heady rivet]

Imagine being a farmer on some megacorp-owned world meanwhile some other country on the other side of the galaxy does this

[raven stone]

Fair enough on both points for STC

Just have to adjust my mental picture of it

[storm jungle]

yeah what Nameless said

the height of humanity was basically Stellaris

where everyone was i ntheir own federations doing scientific sandboxing

(also fighting each other on-and-off)

the problem is Eldar/Necron tech was so advanced its basically magic and on another level, they just had nothing to do with us

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/stellaris-gif-11694255854571932368

[plush mason]

another problem is the most powerful human weapons where all AI controlled so yeah

[raven stone]

So STCs are basically QoL improvements and not a massive strategic game changer.

Lol.

[raven stone]

Ha XD!

[storm jungle]

not a massive strategic game changer.

They literally are lol

I think you are not fully getting what we are saying

[plush mason]

the AI nanobot swarms that stripped worlds of life on the molecular level for example

[heady rivet]

Sometimes you get shovel thats mathematically better when rolled out in its billions and sometimes you get the "Instant eradicatr entire issue button"

Both are good to have, for different reasons

[raven stone]

...how can things that cannot match Necron/Eldar tech be a massive strategic game changer then

[storm jungle]

because its a different ballpark my guy lol

Humanity cannot reach reality changing technology because they destroyed themselves at their own zenith

Necrons and Eldar only did this after reaching past their zenith

[storm jungle]

Also this.

STC isnt just "super mega tech that can warp everything"

its tech made to make life easier in any shape or form

[raven stone]

Wait ok, I am getting confused, so let's just simplify this into ranking categories and leave it at that...

Pre 40k Eldar/Necron tech > DAoT human tech (in general) > 40k era Eldar/Necron tech > 40k human tech

[plush mason]

never forget that one imperial guard officer that got made a planetary governor for finding an STC that made improved combat knives, any advantage the imperium can get is a massive win for them

[storm jungle]

correct

but DAOT humans were still very powerful they just had their moment of fall earlier than the CronsEldar

humanity was not like eldar where they were uplifted super psykers that achieved the apex of civilization

[raven stone]

OK so basically DAoT STC if recovered would make battles easier but still wouldn't allow IoM to "wipe the floor" so to speak

[storm jungle]

It would for anyone minus Necrons prob

the Imperium is just not really capable of whole mass-adapting STCs because they are a fundementally flawed society

Cawl himself has to do everything he must in secret because he knows he'll be killed the moment anyone finds out what hes doing

[winged jacinth]

What do you mean they updated the lore over the last 8 editions???
Bro still thinks they're oldcrons

[raven stone]

(And maintaining it really)

[storm jungle]

yea we see this in Pariah Nexus

the admech released tons of DAOT superweapons

and it creates an absolute fucking disaster

and also brings forth Vashtorr into the warzone lol

[raven stone]

Whoops

[raven stone]

Not my fault GW shoved all the Cron lore onto expensive Forgeworld books at first

:p

[winged jacinth]

This is how the post office in discworld works

[storm jungle]

They didnt tho

it was all in the 5th Necron codex

that was THE major re-invention of the faction

[raven stone]

Today just isn't my day is it

so... space marines spit acid in the lore right?

[glossy sonnet]

yea

[urban spire]

some of them

[sharp pollen]

do they say hawk tuah

[urban spire]

if their geneseed has all the working parts for acid spit

[glossy sonnet]

its possible

[urban spire]

and if the author remembers

[urban spire]

i like to imagine a marine trying to spit and forgetting he's wearing a helmet

[celest dome]

And they have the acidic spit

[glossy sonnet]

With all the random units they be giving space marines, they should make a cool one like Spit Marines

Primaris Spitter Squad

[winged jacinth]

Note: the only authors who remember are writing imperial fists or their successors, so they can remind you their guys cant do it

[fervent geode]

The best argument for oldcrons was like pariahs

But when you think about it pariah lore is stupid

[languid meadow]

40k lore is stupid

pariahs are odd

[fervent geode]

There’s levels to it

Pariah lore is very stupid, why would they make those

Blackstone literally exists already (iirc with the same properties pre 5E)

[winged jacinth]

It tied in to weird oldcron lore about the human pariah gene being created by necrons as an antipsyker weapon for the war in heaven
Which i guess the necrons forgot about

I think the original in universe idea is that you can breed humans

[solid horizon]

curse of the pharaoh

[winged jacinth]

Technically...

[languid meadow]

old pariahs were C'tan projects iirc and new pariahs (whatever the fuck Szeras is doing) are something different now

either way they're doing stuff with blank humans again

[fervent geode]

New Pariahs are their own thing

[languid meadow]

yes

that's what "different" means

[fervent geode]

They have anti souls and all

Yeah

But what’s that about Szeras

Is he cooking smth

[arctic talon]

No

[languid meadow]

he was doing something with them then got interrupted and it hasn't been touched since iirc

[fervent geode]

Hmm something to look into thanks

[winged jacinth]

Even if blackstone had the same properties its way more abundant in current 40k

Im not sure what examples we knew of besides the pylons

[fervent geode]

Yeah true

I think there are pylons on all tombworlds for oldcrons though

At least on Kaurava and Kronus

[winged jacinth]

And actually iirc those didnt have a local blanking effect? At least back in the day

The mechanicus were convinced it was the holes that did it

[fervent geode]

Hmm really? Tbh I don’t remember well lol

[winged jacinth]

Like when the wind blows through spongebob and the jellyfish love it

[languid meadow]

Pylons can also amp warp energy as well

[fervent geode]

Yeah I think that’s what happened on Demerium

When they flipped the things

[languid meadow]

blackstone isn't anti warp it's just a conduit

[winged jacinth]

At the very least i never read anything about psykers being uncomfortable around them or cadia having fewer psykers per capita

[fervent geode]

I couldn’t find anything on that but apparently he’s made some anti psyker overload psychic gun

[fervent geode]

Hmm I see

[winged jacinth]

The cadian pylons were pointed directly at the eye though

They had their very specific purpose

[fervent geode]

Yeah but they’ve rarely used it amplify psychic power afaik

The necrons I mean

That would be anathema to them, they usually use it like in the Pariah Nexus

[winged jacinth]

That's because the necrons arent psychic

[fervent geode]

True

[fervent geode]

No souls and all

Idt there’s even any mention of psychic Necrontyr pre biotransference

[winged jacinth]

Why boost psychic power when you cant use it and its the greatest weapon of your archenemies

[fervent geode]

They might’ve had dim souls

[fervent geode]

Yeah totally

[languid meadow]

yeah the pylons are clearly built with anti warp in mind but blackstone itself isn't inherently anti warp it's just tuned that way

[fervent geode]

Yeap

And it’s possible to “retune” them, like Imurah manipulated Leuze into doing iirc

Which has some interesting consequences

[languid meadow]

Abaddon also kind of did that but he didn't really tune it

more like flooded it full of warp stuff and destroyed it

[fervent geode]

I suppose that works too lol

[winged jacinth]

The imperium and necrons could really do a number on chaos if they didnt view each other as abominations to exterminate

[fervent geode]

Chaos would try to fuck it over but yeah it would be a much bigger threat than what’s on rn

[rose thorn]

Why would they work with an inferior species

[languid meadow]

it's about half and half on the necrons really

[quiet orchid]

what was the necrons? I always see u guys talking about it

[languid meadow]

most think of htem as vermin while the SK and his goons see them as like...

a pet

kind of

[fervent geode]

There’s at least a possibility of temporary “alliance” with Szarekh yeah

For Imotekh it’s all fucking roaches in their galaxy

[languid meadow]

Imotekh thinks anyone who isn't him is a roach

[fervent geode]

And he’s been cleaning house lately

Or trying at least

[fervent geode]

They were a cancer riddled sort of humanoid species called the Necrontyr

Long story later

[languid meadow]

Put the plastic in GW vostroyans

[winged jacinth]

If you're asking what i think you mean oldcrons were basically robo zombies without known motivations or personalities
Newcrons is when they got overhauled to have actual lore and goals and characters and stuff

Oldcron lore was basically like "and then a harvester fleet shows up and harvests everyone and isnt that spooky?"

[quiet orchid]

Understandable

[rose thorn]

they should put plastic into the metal mold

[languid meadow]

yeah like general animal welfare is good but um... being pricks and calling having pets immoral is not great

[daring creek]

For a organization that apparently cares about animals

They really only seek to give themselves a bad name

[rocky gale]

Peta is an industry plant to discredit actual animal rights groups by making them all seem insane

[daring creek]

I feel like most people know to see them distinct from other vegans. But then again...

Its very plausible

[fervent geode]

I can see this being true considering PETA

[rose thorn]

same with just stop oil

[rocky gale]

Yep

[daring creek]

Like they literally had an ad that contained sounds of animals dying

That surely gave dozens of people panic attacks

[fervent geode]

They posted animal umamusume gore or smth

[rose thorn]

i woudl say that its a conspiracy but both just stop oil and peta get huge amounts of money from meat companies andoil companies respectively

[storm jungle]

Still cannot believe these mfers got 4 of their subreddits banned

[fervent geode]

4th one got banned?

damn

yeah let me get the list

Oh I remember that. I don't think they actually did. They threw it on the glass pane protecting it....still. lmfao

Whyre they so desperate to exist on reddit go on 4chan bruh

[storm jungle]

I LOVE the irony of them trying to show themselves as like "heroic loyalists" lol

[daring creek]

Go be hitler there lul

[fervent geode]

I wonder how long this one will last before people start spamming racism or smth and get it banned

[rocky gale]

Any artwork or museum, they'd just show up and throw soup at things

[storm jungle]

likely a few months before another ban

[fervent geode]

The irony writes itself

[storm jungle]

again it says a lot because do you have any idea how hard it is to get a subreddit banned lol

there were THAT MANY reports on it

[near wasp]

Just send in a picture of a black female custodian and it'll tear itself part

[storm jungle]

[daring creek]

More bans than crack subreddits

[fervent geode]

Or Sea Wolf SW

[storm jungle]

yeah because you cant report subreddits directly

[fervent geode]

They hate Black SW for no reason

[storm jungle]

these all got banned from word of mouth

which is hilarious

[fervent geode]

Sea Wolf Sex work????

yeah its just "vikings were all white blonde men"

[fervent geode]

Yes

[storm jungle]

I do have a sea wolf OC

meanwhile viking were historically not statistically blonde

[fervent geode]

white people want to both be high class medieval nobles and serial rapist pillagers

[fervent geode]

There’s not even any reason for there to be no darker skinned people, darker skinned people can exist in cold climes smdh

Inuits

too real

[fervent geode]

Smdh Vikings did other things too

[solid horizon]

rich white people love to cosplay as poor people as well

[fervent geode]

Trading, Settling, Mercenarying

But I get your point

[storm jungle]

again its just "ruins my white viking fantasy"

as if Fenris is on earth

and not a fucking planet that has been resettled twice

[fervent geode]

Stupid ass fantasy anyway

[solid horizon]

never noticed space wolves were viking fantasy tbh, probably because I never looked too much into them

[fervent geode]

SW aren’t Vikings their a stupid caricature of Vikings at best

[storm jungle]

Correct yea

[rose thorn]

wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf

[fervent geode]

good for you then, because it's a common uneducated belief lol

[fervent geode]

Vikings traded everywhere

[celest dome]

Celts weren't just the Celtic Isles
Not that they were in Scandinavia but still

[fervent geode]

Yeah Napoleon just wanted to be an Emperor lol, he didn’t really have strong ideological inclinations beyond me big emperor and me need big army

He spread republican ideals while also making his brothers kings

[celest dome]

Doesn't help that both regime that happened before and after him were just utter trash

[fervent geode]

I mean you can’t blame him for that

Ultraradicalisme followed by ultrareaction

[rocky gale]

Like he enforced the Napoleonic Code, which ensured equality before the law for everyone and abolished noble priviledge and protected people from being persecuted for their religion

[jade holly]

He did it for the love of the game

[spare osprey]

-# Wuh-oh.

[fervent geode]

His Napoleonic Code is also the basis for a lot of Civil Law Codes to this day

Think the dude that wrote the 3 Mousquetaire had his grandpa become a General in Napoleon's army

[vagrant fox]

Yeah but he was Xiang chinese so you know

[raven stone]

what, not fangirls?/shitpost

[solid horizon]

same bag

[fervent geode]

He genuinely swept a ride across Europe coz he accidentally united German states and Italian states

[solid horizon]

again, I do not do favoritism

[rocky gale]

It was his father Thomas-Alexandre Dumas

[fervent geode]

He did also reinforce slavery in Saint Domingue

[solid horizon]

chuds gonna say woke

[fervent geode]

And kill Toussaint Louverture

[fervent geode]

But that was moreso to get landowner support

Still bad and evil

Like most people in history he was a mixed figure

[rocky gale]

If I remember rightly the only way for Thomas-Alexandre Dumas to get his own son Alexandre Dumas into France legally was to enslave him, bring him in as a slave and then legally free him after arriving.

[fervent geode]

Defo an Imperialist but he did bring changes that have left a positive impact on Europe

[fervent geode]

Oh yeah I think I’ve heard of something like that too

If you want to idolise an Imperialist State please idolise my goats the Mongols

[vagrant fox]

Wasn't it more that he was born into slavery because his mother was one but it was illegal in mainland France so he was freed there

[fervent geode]

Especially Kublai Khan

[fervent geode]

Or the Achaemenids

Or the Song Dynasty
Or Majapahit

[celest dome]

I think I remember some story like that but iirc it's with the US-Uk

[fervent geode]

I know my ancestors were at the bottom of the social ladder but idgaf it was better than living under Qin and Song was dying already anyway

[raven stone]

I only know my grandparents on both sides were already in HK during WW2 Japanese invasion

So my family does not have traumatic memories of fleeing CCP

[rocky gale]

I know there's a famous court case about it in the UK, because it was law that if a slave set foot in England they became free, but there was a ship full of slaves which was docked at a harbour in England and the Court Case was about whether or not they were technically freed because of it.

My family were literal rice farmers till my grandparents generation on both sides

Somerset v Stewart

[fervent geode]

My family were anything from that to Jinshi Scholar Officials to the Imperial Dynasty of Song depending on which family member you ask

[raven stone]

(And oddly enough they were also lucky enough to only witness minor brutality of the IJA. Not giving the IJA any excuses, but I more mean they saw more of "yelling at random people" bullying and less "Unit 371 experiments".)

[fervent geode]

Or servants

Granduncle says servants

[fervent geode]

Got pretty shit near the end but could’ve been worse

[fervent geode]

Better than having to

[raven stone]

True

[spare osprey]

The summation of my family history is: Escaped Civil War and my Abuela beat the shit outta my ma.

[fervent geode]

No matter what Yuan times was bad for “Nan Ren”

[arctic talon]

My dads side of the family was part of the KMT

[fervent geode]

Wow same

[arctic talon]

lol

[vagrant fox]

Mildly interesting, in 1772 already

[fervent geode]

They still act like it’s 1925 sometimes

[arctic talon]

They don’t support the KMT anymore lul

[vagrant fox]

cowards

[fervent geode]

I feel bad having to tell old ass people that San Min Zhu Yi is not coming to the mainland

Despite their fantasies

[arctic talon]

They’re still nationalists mostly

lol

[fervent geode]

My family thinks the current KMT are loons

[arctic talon]

Also I have some family in mainland China lol

Because of that

[arctic talon]

I mean they kind of are

lol

Their whole China reunification under the KMT idea is batshit insane

lol

[vagrant fox]

They hate my main man Chiang Kai-shek

[fervent geode]

Oh interesting uh, I think I had some a long time ago but they are dead

[fervent geode]

Yeah lol

[arctic talon]

I think chiang would fucking firebomb the current KMT

[fervent geode]

Chiang would kill everyone there

[vagrant fox]

probably

[fervent geode]

Chiang would drive a tank in the party conference or flood a river into it

[raven stone]

Daily reminder Chiang and Hitler got along

[arctic talon]

Chaing and Mao if revived would be laughing their asses off

[raven stone]

Which tells you a lot

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

Chaing is batshit insane

lol

[vagrant fox]

but you know

[arctic talon]

Chaing would love what mainland China looks like rn

Mao would fucking hate it

lol

[fervent geode]

It was more an alliance of convenience but he also got along with Stalin at one point, he was a nutjob

[arctic talon]

Chiang was a socialist but not a communist

And also a facist later

But yknow that

[fervent geode]

My granduncle has a conspiracy theory that Zhou Enlai was a Chiang plant and that’s why he “made Deng do the modernisations”

[raven stone]

Hitler's Wet Dream was Chiang and Imperial Japan to stop fighting and go bully USSR.

Obviously failed massively

[arctic talon]

There’s so much Deng is a KMT plant theories lol

[fervent geode]

IJA could never

[fervent geode]

I mean Zhou Enlai was CKS’ head of propaganda at Whampoa

I don’t buy the conspiracy theory

[jade holly]

Are we gonna get rapid fire detachment reveals for factions building up to 11e?

[fervent geode]

But I see where’s it coming from

[raven stone]

Precisely, feels like Imperial Japan was stringing Hitler along for their own shits and giggles

[arctic talon]

I don’t buy it either

[arctic talon]

None of the axis liked each other

Hitler thought Mussolini was incompetent(he was)

Mussolini thought Hitler was insane(he was)

[fervent geode]

They would’ve killed the each other if they won somehow

[raven stone]

P much

[arctic talon]

The Japanese government thought the Nazis were crazy(they were)

The Nazis thought the IJA was insane(they were)

lol

[fervent geode]

Yeah they just did what they did coz if Hua Guofeng or the Gang got their way China would be a fucking wasteland rn

[arctic talon]

The Gang of Four were

💀

[fervent geode]

No to 北京 yes to 東方紅柿

[arctic talon]

lol

[fervent geode]

Daily reminder Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai had to stop them from making this real

[arctic talon]

Tbh Mao not endorsing the Gang of Four was like

The one good thing he did during the cultural revolution lol

[fervent geode]

Idk what the fuck they were on

[arctic talon]

Because it setup their eventual downfall

[arctic talon]

Insanity

Also hungry for power

The cultural revolution was an attempt for them to consolidate power

Using Mao as a figurehead lol

[fervent geode]

Mao needed the revolution to regain power but idt even he liked what the fuck was happening with the Gang

[arctic talon]

It’s why they purged Deng

[fervent geode]

P much

[arctic talon]

And a lot of other CCP people not aligned with them

[fervent geode]

They killed Liu Shaoqi too

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[fervent geode]

And like 1/4 of the 10 marshals

[arctic talon]

Tbh it’s crazy Deng almost got fucking executed

[fervent geode]

RIP Peng Dehuai

[arctic talon]

Because China prolly would have been pretty fucked

[fervent geode]

China would be North Korea but huge

And worse somehow

[vagrant fox]

If you want ideological purity you gotta hustle a little what's so wrong with that

[fervent geode]

Hoi4 mod potential

[arctic talon]

Deng purged a lot of the crazies and stalinists lol

Which

Probably a good thing

[fervent geode]

Some of them purged themselves too

[arctic talon]

Well yeah

[fervent geode]

Like Mrs Mao

[arctic talon]

They saw what Deng was doing and considered him a capitalist servant

lol

[rocky gale]

Jiang Qing the original girlboss

[fervent geode]

I mean ig it was capitalism but like what the fuck was the alternative

[arctic talon]

It was capitalism with socialist safety nets and government control

lol

But it also saved China

[fervent geode]

Yeah

If not for Deng and uh Hu whatever and the modernisations China would probably be hell

[arctic talon]

Oh also I know someone who keeps Mao’s red book on him always lol

[fervent geode]

Because that means the Gang of Four run China

[arctic talon]

He was a red guard

I wonder if he yknow

[fervent geode]

Wait

[arctic talon]

Killed anyone

He’s old

[fervent geode]

Like an actual red guard

[arctic talon]

He’s an old man

[fervent geode]

Oh Okok

[arctic talon]

Yes

He’s an actual red guard

Well was

[fervent geode]

Oh

[arctic talon]

They got disbanded

[fervent geode]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

He talked about beating anti communists openly

lol

So I think he’d talk about if he killed anyone

[fervent geode]

Probably for the better considering what the fuck happened

[arctic talon]

So I have to assume he didn’t kill anyone

[fervent geode]

If he’s not from Guangxi he’s probably not uh

Like there’s a chance he might’ve not killed poeple

[arctic talon]

30% wrong

[fervent geode]

Wait what

[arctic talon]

No im making a joke

About the Mao 70% right 30% wrong thing

lol

[fervent geode]

Oh phew

[arctic talon]

He’s from Guangdong

So

[fervent geode]

I thought you meant he was a Red Guard from Guangxi

[arctic talon]

💀

I mean

[fervent geode]

I mean uh

[arctic talon]

He’s from guangdong

So close

[fervent geode]

Ye Jianying was in charge there and was more sane

I think

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[fervent geode]

So probably no cannibalism

[arctic talon]

Yeah no

That was only guanxi probably

[fervent geode]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

99% sure

Lol

[fervent geode]

What the fuck was happening in Guangxi is another mystery

Liek it was so bad I think the Gang of Four had to be kept in the dark about it iirc

[arctic talon]

Psychopath running it

lol

And it trickled down

[rigid dune]

Is there a chaos equivilant of a rogue trader?

[rocky gale]

A rogue trader

[arctic talon]

A rogue rogue trader

Yeah that

[fervent geode]

Wei Guoqing was like never punished 💀

[vagrant fox]

random chaos lord doing their business

[jade holly]

The negatives cancel out so the opposite is just a Trader

Or, in other words

A traitor

[arctic talon]

He should have been purged

lol

[fervent geode]

He was

[vagrant fox]

Dude made it pretty far lmbo

[fervent geode]

No further punishment

He got fired

That’s it

Like what the fuck this guy led the worst massacre in a long fucking time

[fervent geode]

That he did

[arctic talon]

You know what I mean

The other type of purge

lol

[fervent geode]

Oh yeah

Yeah he really should’ve been

[arctic talon]

He should have been executed

[fervent geode]

Idk how he got away with it

Esp since he kept criticising Deng too (got him fired)

[arctic talon]

Bcs Deng wanted to be less evil

I guess

He was just a normal human rights violator

[fervent geode]

Should’ve taken a page out of the Mao and Chiang book just that once

[arctic talon]

lol

Had him have his legs broken and shot?

[fervent geode]

I mean

That’s not as bad as what he did

[arctic talon]

Chiang’s “fun camp”

[fervent geode]

Preferably just take him to “Revolutionary Justice Court” show literally just the hellscape Guangxi was for 10 years and take him out back to be kashot

[arctic talon]

lol

[vagrant fox]

these guys hate the revolutionary spirit

However it was who reported me, def works in the IDF

[opaque coyote]

Should've been this instead.

[storm jungle]

Lmao

[opaque coyote]

Although the Emperor sounding like Skeletor

Is something I didn't know I wanted

[rancid cove]

Guilliman stronger than me if I woke up to the Imperium in 40k I'd kill myself rather than lead it

[opaque coyote]

Until I got it

[opaque coyote]

Why do you think all of the remaining loyalist Primarchs after the Heresy basically fucked off

[fierce pendant]

who's to say he didn't try but the rope snapped

[opaque coyote]

"I'm gonna chase after the dark Eldar."

[rancid cove]

True

[opaque coyote]

"But wait what about Chogoris? The Imperium?"

"Man I really need to chase after those dastardly Dark Eldar."

[rancid cove]

I mean to honest the Khan straight up said he never agreed to the Emperor

So him dipping was just expected

[opaque coyote]

Exactly

It's arguably the funniest part considering like

Every other loyalist at least had some of severe injury/almost death or important quest

Meanwhile the Khan literally jumped at the first excuse to fuck off

[rancid cove]

My boy Sanguinius would've never ran if he was alive
Bro got the Inverse Teleporter situation from Lethal Company

[pliant scroll]

That's why I like the khan, born to ride

[rancid cove]

Spawned right in front of the thumper

[opaque coyote]

Considering the state of his home planet and how

He kept it as fucked

I doubt there would've been much change

Actually sounds like an interesting hypothetical

[rancid cove]

I mean thats kinda what his people wanted as well

[opaque coyote]

Sanguinius as regent for a while. Intentionally keeping the Imperium fucked

[rancid cove]

But I think Baal would've risen earlier if Sanguinius kept living more for a while tbh

[opaque coyote]

Guilliman, despite being a genocidal warlord like his siblings

At least wants to improve the Imperium quality of life

Cause shocker

People are less willing to turn to things like the Dark Gods if they have like

Food

Water

[rancid cove]

Lowkey I think he'd have a character development phase after it and genuinely try to improve things the best way he could

[opaque coyote]

A break day

[rancid cove]

Funnily enough the BA are on of the most loyal aside from the Wolfs who are just too dumb to fall to chaos most of the time

So maybe desert planet filled with radiation makes people more loyal

[opaque coyote]

Nah the Wolves definitely have the alcohol

That keeps them loyal

Very rare to get alcohol that can get an Astartes drunk

[pliant scroll]

40,000 years since the hero Himmel's death

[rancid cove]

Yeah they burn all their IQ away drinking themselves into a dreadnought chassis

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it's not like their liver is gonna get fatty or anything

[rancid cove]

Fuck I wish they could, would like SW a little if they had GoW looking Thor

[opaque coyote]

The Wolves actually aren't stupid

Or well exceptionally stupid, all SMs are stupid

[rancid cove]

https://tenor.com/view/god-of-war-ragnarok-thor-bout-time-kratos-mjolnir-gif-27081444

[opaque coyote]

GoW Thor was genuinely a delight

Didn't expect the character arc he got

And was genuinely a bit sad to see ||Odin fucking kill him||

[rancid cove]

Mfw read the book where they get introduced to Primaris

[opaque coyote]

The Black Templars attacked the Custodes who accompanied them ffs

Can't get more stupid than that

[sacred ginkgo]

The secret killjoy strikes again

Not even the decency to crash out like a real racist

[rancid cove]

Well yeah its the fucking templars
They're meant to be stupid becuse theyre zealots

[rancid cove]

They couldn't handle their goat getting slandered

[opaque coyote]

And that's why they're up there in my list of favorites

[plush mason]

"whats neat about daemonhosts is they are kinda like stands from jojo for inquisitors" from the owlcat dark heresy discord channel lol

[opaque coyote]

They're so fucking stupid

[rancid cove]

Making an inquisitor OC called Dio Brando and his daemonhost za warudo...

[opaque coyote]

OKAY MASTA LET'S KILL DA HOE. BEEITCH.

[rancid cove]

This scene had me cackling when i first watched it bruh

Jjba is so good

[opaque coyote]

Legitimately didn't expect it

Which make me cackle

https://youtu.be/OGild1N0RCU?si=i49379Cmx5M8Vp4_

[opaque coyote]

It also makes sense since Stands are like

The manifestation of the user's soul

So that came from Koichi's soul

[languid meadow]

I love jojo engrish so much

YES

[rancid cove]

Making my possessed marine character from my warband be like Venom and just saying "MASK!" every time he switches with the daemon

[languid meadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msqUsa2I_OA

[rancid cove]

https://tenor.com/view/mask-venom-eddie-brock-parasite-gif-14267694

[opaque coyote]

Honestly Possessed MFS in general are cool

Wish they were used more

Surprisingly rare in fiction to actually fight like

Intentional possession yk?

I think what makes it kinda lame is that either the Host or the Daemon wins out

It's very rare for there to be a symbiotic relationship

Which makes sense but still means you're mainly talking to one individual

Instead of like

Two smashed together into one body

[rancid cove]

Yeah they're cool, this one is especially cool cause the daemon is supposed to be like, an actual biblical demon

I'm making my warband have a cult of both mortals and space marines who worship "The Old Beast" which is pretty much Satan after waking up and deciding to slowly take his place in the 40k galaxy
So he's like, very volatile and keen-minded

[opaque coyote]

Again, the Warp is severely underutilized

The idea of there being an alt. Realm that's a reflection of concepts

Made literal

It's fucking awesome

Why the fuck doesn't GW detail it more?

More neutral entities would be interesting

[flat nimbus]

Can’t get too weird or you might scare the Marines

[sacred ginkgo]

You should go read Cosmere books!!!!!

[rancid cove]

Because

1. Person too weak to resist and their soul/consciousness gets crushed
2. The daemon doesn't wanna share and wishes full control

Cases of symbiosis are rare because daemons are daemons and they wish everything to kneel down for them

[opaque coyote]

Aware yeah

Still would be interesting for there to be like an equilibrium

Of sorts

Like the consciousness and Daemon are so evenly matched

That it's just a chaotic stalemate

Neither can overtake the other

It's just a constant internal fight

And the result is equally as chaotic

[rancid cove]

Thats why the Gal Vorkab are peak

[opaque coyote]

Also this is why Argel Tal is one of my favorites

[mossy peak]

is lorgarwasright2 on twitter chudhammer or wokehammer

[plush mason]

was about to say wasnt he and the others like him literally just that? a symbiotic hybrid of daemon and marine?

[opaque coyote]

Which is why he is a favorite

[rancid cove]

Gal Vorbak

Tes

Yes

[plush mason]

i wonder why that hasnt happened anymore

[rancid cove]

I think its just rare to accomplish

Probably has some extra bullshit

Do all possessed marines be constantly looking deformed or can they go into transformations the moment a daemon takes over?

[opaque coyote]

Probably it requires

A) A daemon that is willing to follow orders

B) SMs that are accepting of their soul basically being used as an advanced flesh light

(tbf it's the word bearers so this requirement might be fulfilled)

[rancid cove]

After taking a look on the lexi

Its usually like this

Marine has total control normally, but middle of battle: daemon time

[opaque coyote]

C) The Daemon usually has to accept a temporary partnership

[rancid cove]

Symbiosis is usually very rare

[opaque coyote]

And periods where they aren't in control

[rancid cove]

Due to probably special circumstances

[opaque coyote]

Either that or are weak enough to be blocked

Outside of being intentionally let out

Either way would be difficult to have both the Marine

And the Daemon

To accept this

Since if I remember correctly. Even some word bearers are

slightly hesitant at the idea of being possessed

[arctic talon]

💀

[rancid cove]

I mean

The Gal Vorbak didn't want to it at first

But eventually gave in

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

See

[vagrant fox]

Gal Vorbak is the clean drugs the pusher gives to get you hooked and then it gets cut with posessed when you're hooked

is my take

[quiet orchid]

Gal Vorbak?

[opaque coyote]

Raum probably was a free sample

Also

He's awfully candid despite being a daemon

Also even at worst

He is very patient if he was planning on doing some bullshit later

Usually daemons are the opposite of that

And also a matter of pride

[arctic talon]

The gal vorbak were literally the clean first hit lol

[rancid cove]

Word Bearer chapter that went in (iirc Eye of Terror) to gain some warp knowledge for Lorgar
Came back possessed

[opaque coyote]

A Daemon willing to

[arctic talon]

The daemons were playing nice

[quiet orchid]

ooh, ok ty

[opaque coyote]

Freeingly accept symbiosis with a disgusting mortal

Even temporarily if Raum was eventually planning on upending the relationship

Would probably be rare

[rancid cove]

The daemon that was with Argel Tal at least seemed legit to be "okay"

[opaque coyote]

Daemons generally don't seem to be patient

They seem to have started existing with what is basically

Permanent ADHD

Only willing to wait if it's something they're interested in

And even then this doesn't apply to some

Khorne Daemons moment

[rancid cove]

Something more scary than a daemon is a patient daemon

[solid horizon]

kinda reminds me how the khorne berserker champion in DoW sounds uninterested in anything but killing lol

[opaque coyote]

"DRIVE QUICKLY BEFORE I KILL YOU"

"WE NEED A NEW DRIVER! THIS ONE IS DEAD."

"YOU WANT THAT WORTHLESS TRINKET !!???"

Translation:
"Should we prioritize blood for the blood god or skulls for the skull throne?"

it's dawn of war, anything is possible

i mean its more because Khorne doesnt care from where the blood comes from

Tbf he does

To a degree.

Torturing someone would be in Slaanesh territory

So he would be unsatisfied

Tbf it still feeds him but like

[rancid cove]

Not the case of this scenario

[opaque coyote]

I also think Khornate Psykers do still exist

So he doesn't hate Psykers that much

Just hates sorcery in particular

[solid horizon]

sorcerers of khorne do exist dont they

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but they usually have to use a lot of blood

It's like covering vegetables in ranch

Blood Pact has some

https://youtu.be/6WEWuOERVmI?t=223 funniest moment in warhammer gaming

[celest dome]

Eh, not really, at least not in the manner that the other Chaos god have specific spells/techniques

They do use some to create gates for deamons to cross though

[plush mason]

whats his name makes little sense lore wise, a psyker fallen to khorne and making a deal/allying with a great unclean one

Khorne and Nurgle don’t not get along

lol

[plush mason]

fair it is still playing with fire even more than normal

[dapper gyro]

Non of the chaos god gets along.

[vagrant fox]

I think in Black Crusade if a psyker goes khorne aligned they just lose their psy rating, which I find a little funny

[dapper gyro]

Hence they are different entities and not a single unique one.

See I’ve tried that but my brain doesn’t always come up with something

[winged jacinth]

look for cool ass words

if you have a theme that helps

[heady rivet]

Is this for your Rockabilly Orlocks

For names I fumble around with gibberish that has the sounds I want and then modify until it sounds enough like a name.

Like my Hive Scum is "Kerisk" from be just gibbering around with K-sounds and going from there

Or you find a word and corrupt it likes its been through 38k years of language maeatgrinder

[vagrant fox]

for making a chaos lord you take a name like gary glitter and grimdark it

Jokes aside, for my space marines I just took names from the Goths almost wholesale

[heady rivet]

Gariah Refulgent

Boom

Its 40k

Its that easy

[vagrant fox]

it works

[heady rivet]

The best name I ever came up with for a 40k character wasnt even my own character

It was my friends Cawdor gang leader

Candlestick Jack

Something like uh, Gharion Ghlitterax of the pervert scrungaloids

[vagrant fox]

Candlejack? Isn't that the guy wh

aw

i dont like the weird crown helmet they have

wait is the sallet just a visorless mold and you can glue the visor as you want to?

open visor would go hard

i dont mind no helmets but i dont want to paint hair like at all
