weird

[solid horizon]

marshal attire minus baubles

and with the standard skitarii metal skirt

[languid meadow]

I like the Marshals voice a lot (Mechanicus 2)

[storm jungle]

I THINK

thats Trazyn's VA from BFG

or that audiobook guy

[arctic talon]

It sounds somewhat like it

[solid horizon]

possible same modulation

[languid meadow]

but yeah I think we might get a marshal head at least

we're already such an odd rank and cosmetics were already not following that type of stuff

[solid horizon]

I want vanguard helmet without the hawk

hoodless head

and half human head

[languid meadow]

the one in the concept art doesn't iirc

[solid horizon]

it does have one

I like the scarf

[surreal nest]

damn mechanicus 2 dropped?

didnt even know

[solid horizon]

oh lol he has the marshal compass

[arctic talon]

Got the serbrys scarf

lol

[solid horizon]

yup

idk why would skitarii need a scarf tho

[nocturne crest]

Yellow admech

[solid horizon]

they have respirators already

[arctic talon]

Aura

[languid meadow]

I need to see the damn penance stuff so badly

[solid horizon]

my typa guy

2 colors away from my actual army scheme

[nocturne crest]

Wait. Does the number of playable classes the same as the number of Nurgle now?

[storm jungle]

Yea totally intentional

[solid horizon]

[storm jungle]

as we know chaos gods invented numbers

[solid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/mulder-files-gif-5516932

[nocturne crest]

That means no more classes in the future.

[solid horizon]

one more class and we're fighting bloodletters

[rose thorn]

Gsc cosmetics when gw

[vagrant fox]

I need something new to watch, is Daredevil that good. I kinda need a break from supes stuff tho
Maybe X-Files again

[storm jungle]

It legit is

but uh to copy paste my own comment that i did for Toast

[solid horizon]

x files is so good

[storm jungle]

Daredevil
+ OG Show:

• S1: Peak
• S2: Very mid sideplot with ninjas/elektra but main plot with Fisk peak
• S3: Peak+

+ Sequel Show (the one out rn)

• S1: Not mindblowing but very fun
• S2: Peak

[solid horizon]

but uh

after s3 or 4 it gets uh

B A D

[vagrant fox]

Wrong

Guess I'll add Daredevil to the list only Sopranos is populating rn

[solid horizon]

I like john doggett

if only his plots werent so bad

[storm jungle]

Yea prob watch it after Sopranos

[vagrant fox]

Why not, what's the next class btw

[storm jungle]

no codename leak yet sorry

[solid horizon]

nurgling on nurgle defiler

I am extremely scared of this profile

[solid horizon]

Why

[rancid cove]

It just gives off a vibe I don't rlly like

[plush mason]

this is funny to me

[outer wave]

I do not understand his profile quote: if you progress in any way, you induce failure? How the fuck do you achieve anything then?

[storm jungle]

Some bro still asks "why" as if the red flags are not red enough lmao

[rancid cove]

at least he has pronouns and rainbows, surely its a good sign, right?!

[rancid cove]

No idea

[outer wave]

Fella is a strange combo of characteristics

[sacred ginkgo]

Nope

Just a more confusing kind of facist

Btw berk did you see

[spare osprey]

Happy-day, oh, happy-day.

[storm jungle]

Might be one of the "just way too obsessed with World War stuff" people but lol

[outer wave]

Yes, shes highkey so pretty

And a piece of shit

[rancid cove]

Those are usually giant walking redflags

[sacred ginkgo]

Actually made me have to do a double take and check that Matthias indeed has only 1 arm

[outer wave]

Yeah Outis does have one arm, just like Mattias

Which is funny because I never noticed it until someone on reddit talked about his missing arm

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah me neither

He really doesn't lack for it

[outer wave]

Nooooope

[sacred ginkgo]

Just kicks people more

[storm jungle]

is this some new anime game

[outer wave]

Nah, kinda old-ish. Limbus Company

[solid horizon]

Sarcastic why btw

[sacred ginkgo]

Older than darktide

[plush mason]

ah yes, the clockhead PC game

[storm jungle]

Once again as another user told you sarcasm is usually not very clear through flat text messages

[storm jungle]

[outer wave]

True! Shes the most enthusiastic shes ever been

[sacred ginkgo]

I still think that would be an unironically good casting

[plush mason]

ngl i love the player character model in limbus company

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah for whatever reason some of the middle characters have really punchy lines

[outer wave]

Dante is VERY cool yeah

[storm jungle]

You literally said "Why" and nothing else, im sorry but after your "why is inclusivity important" debacle its a bit hard to analyse

[sacred ginkgo]

Like middle sinclair does it too

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah dante just has a kickass design

[outer wave]

[plush mason]

not a Sabaton fan i guess lol

[sacred ginkgo]

Also, is it bad that I find the men largely more attractive on average

[storm jungle]

YUCK

[solid horizon]

I was about to say a number as well but it would be shooting myself after "why"

[outer wave]

No, I think the guys in this game are pretty handsome

[solid horizon]

Sabatton sucks

[outer wave]

And thats coming from a guy thats mostly straight

[solid horizon]

They have one uriah heep reference

The rest is cringe music

[sacred ginkgo]

Ouuuuuggghhhh

This and the yi sang id have made Funeral one of my favorite abno's

I even have it in my lob corp run

[solid horizon]

https://youtu.be/lumulauzCU0?is=gXuhQcDiKoqy5__R 👍

[outer wave]

Still have to raise that Yi Sang ID

[sacred ginkgo]

Yi sang having 3 relevant and powerful sinking id's is still funny to me

[outer wave]

Ive just been loving my Ring team too much and Ive basically all caught up with story now

[sacred ginkgo]

goog nuke, technical, and fuck you damage

[sacred ginkgo]

Ran an index team for my first md 15 clear

[outer wave]

How'd that go?

[sacred ginkgo]

Swimmingly

all it takes is some optimization and dual type runs just cook the fuck off

Also did a HoS ryoshu md15 solo last night

Winrate gameplay

[outer wave]

Do you have all of the HoS up to this point?

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah currently

[outer wave]

Nice

[sacred ginkgo]

I got shards saved for the rest

[outer wave]

I would need to figure out how to make that HoS thread item and get more HoS fellers

Learning that this exists is also super helpful

Being able to abuse clear mirror and reveberation on any run is just funny

[outer wave]

Tremor doesnt really work for some IDs though, since they need to use a tremor burst, right?

[sacred ginkgo]

These gifts work on every team

[outer wave]

Huuuuuuuuuh

[sacred ginkgo]

Yeah you can just kind of collect this image on any run with any comp

And get the listed benefits

[sacred ginkgo]

For this specifically though Reveberation causes 2 termor bursts at some point during a turn (i forgor where)

Or downpour

Whatever the lean is

[outer wave]

Gotcha gotcha, thank ya

[nocturne crest]

I wonder if there is a planet that have PDF serving as combat divers.

Like this:

[solid horizon]

Holy shit the water skitarii

[brave owl]

watarii

[nocturne crest]

There is even some variety in the weapons.

[solid horizon]

I can recognize a watarii alpha when I see one

[nocturne crest]

I love it.

[arctic talon]

Someone make the body count lottery irl already

I need pondsmith to be correct

now you'll see it

I know admech have sulphurhounds but I honestly always saw Kastelans as dogs

just dumb ass puppies

[tough haven]

I love them

they are sweet

I loved the datasmith hammer and bolter

[rancid cove]

Man he nails the "head empty" walk, its like seeing a toddler walkingup to you after calling out their name

[sacred ginkgo]

40k has vex memes now

Neat

[near wasp]

Homelander I threw up

Can I sweep wit you tonight

[plush mason]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hypaspists

so the actual rank and file of the skitarii are just never seen i guess?

[arctic talon]

these guys aren't part of Martian standard structure is why

lol

[plush mason]

so like PDF kinda

[plush mason]

the fact they actually have a unit of this is fucking funny

skitarii aquis

[arctic talon]

More like a magos/different group of skitarii

[plush mason]

there is a named ranger alpha literally named 13-Jzzal...

oh he is from a war of the beast book

that explains it

[daring creek]

tf is his porblem

Why he pulling out the piece on the fish

[plush mason]

the fish had it coming

[dapper gyro]

Skitarii is a little bit like SM in term of structure.

[plush mason]

i guess we arent getting radium guns with the skitarii :/ no giving super cancer to the other rejects

is that pistol a phosphor pistol?

[arctic talon]

Phosphor blast pistol yes

mioght not be all of skitarii's guns as well

tbh

[arctic talon]

I see a powersword in that set lol

[dapper gyro]

Marketing, my boy.

[plush mason]

no rad guns sadly, maybe post launch

[arctic talon]

tbf

radium weapons are

basicially big autoguns

[plush mason]

yes

with the fun fun fun side effect of giving everyone on the battle field super cancer

because the rounds and the guns themselves leak radiation like its going out of style

[daring creek]

https://tenor.com/view/the-beach-boys-band-perform-pumped-up-gif-12266141

[plush mason]

i got to say, it is neat how we have gone from a band of convicts to include some of the most elite forces in the imperium

[languid meadow]

the phosphor pistol is wicked small compared to how it looks on the TT

[opaque coyote]

And yet we'll still probably be in the background of a black library book

[plush mason]

ngl im a little worried about using it, shit has got to be bright has hell lore wise

bring it on a blackout mission and just blind yourself and everyone around you lmao

[plush mason]

i mean yeah all the classes are background characters still lol

especially the vet zealot ogryn and scum

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I like to think all of our deeds are canon.

Precisely because it's grimdark to imagine that

Despite us literally slaying Beasts of Nurgle

We are still incredibly unrecognized in comparison

We do stuff that a band of SMs would struggle immensely with

And yet we are unnoticed

[plush mason]

if the fucking blood ravens can get away with being friends with the grey knights for fucking centuries us killing beasts of nurgle is fine

[opaque coyote]

Unsung

Because why would the Imperium reward merit equally?

[languid meadow]

you can see it shooting in the trailer

[opaque coyote]

It's the Imperium

Martyrs are their lifeblood

[languid meadow]

right before the arc rifle shoots

[opaque coyote]

And our rejects are simply just

Slightly higher quality grease

For the cogs

[arctic talon]

heroic scale is a bitch lol

[plush mason]

yeah but thats a trailer, im worried about the in game brightness, which im sure i dont need to be

i wonder if they will include the increasing accuracy bit of the phosphor rounds

like it gives a damage buff to any follow up hits on that area for a bit

[languid meadow]

Hopefully the NDA is dropped in the first week of June

so we can see

[plush mason]

yeah

[dapper gyro]

Don't worry, it will be half cooked like almost everything else in this game.

Hope is the pathway to disappointment.

[plush mason]

this is something i have wondered about for a while, is it ever stated what the fuck these things are on the skitarii's backpacks? are they antenna or some kind of arm or something even stranger?

i assume antenna for the noosphere

[dapper gyro]

It is just antenna.

[rancid cove]

the CBT stick

[arctic talon]

its just an antenna thingy lol

presumably for better connection to the noosphere

[plush mason]

because you cant have your skitarius lose connection to that, how will the magos assume direct control Harbinger style then?

[dapper gyro]

Story magic.

[plush mason]

the admech's military capabilities are truly horrifying when you think about it, if unity is one of the imperium's greatest strengths then the admech are rocking the premium package unity

the noosphere alone is such a massive combat advantage its little wonder it takes such massive forces to assault a forge world

[arctic talon]

They have implants that connect it to them, all members of the Cult mechanicus do

The rod is likely for better/more stable connection

[plush mason]

i figured

i was mainly joking ofc

[dapper gyro]

It is there so they can touch tips.

[celest dome]

Skitarius are also meant to work independently, think the biggest point for the Admech is more so the fact that they're willing to destroy Planets while colonising

[daring creek]

what would the admech think about five night at freddies animatrons

[urban spire]

arent they possessed by ghosts

idk what do you think they'd think

[urban spire]

anyway its a deployable fork for tactical dinner

[celest dome]

Animatronics are like the Kastelan

But under Warp Possession

[rocky gale]

Ghosts? you mean venerable machine spirits

[crystal forum]

they'd ask chica out on a date

[rocky gale]

Not saying that Horus Heresy's heavy vehicle spam is a joke, but these two pictures are different vehicles with different rules

[vagrant fox]

The optional assembly makes all the difference

[steel ingot]

just as arkhan land intended

[rocky gale]

Wow

That's not a Land Raider

That's a Spartan Assault Tank and a Spartan Prometheus Assault Tank

Tourist

[steel ingot]

implying mr land only made the land raider

i don't actually know imperium armor history

other than the baneblade has a sister tank specifically developed to kill other stc tanks and titans

banehammer or swordhammer

who knows what it was called

plus I'm a horus heresy tourist

it's uhm

lame

i mean 40k is also lame but I've been here already so why leave

[rocky gale]

Na if it was made by Land it would be the Land Assault Tank

It was clearly made by Timmy Spartan

[steel ingot]

did he design the land speeder

[rocky gale]

Ye

Land Raider, Land Speeder and Land Crawler

[solid horizon]

too bad dunecrawler isnt named Land Dunecrawler

or worse

Onager Landcrawler

[steel ingot]

the hell fuck is a land crawler

[solid horizon]

skitarii tractor on legs

[steel ingot]

Google show me pictures of the land crawler

[rocky gale]

It's a tractor

[rocky gale]

No that's a Dunecrawler

[solid horizon]

yes

[rocky gale]

The Landcrawler is an actual vehicle

He asked about the Land Crawler

[solid horizon]

god

both were discovered by john land I suppose

just like the land rover

grot tank looking ass

[steel ingot]

i love this thing

[rocky gale]

That is a militarised version of the Land Crawler

The original is literally just a tractor for Agri worlds

[steel ingot]

can we have it kill a hive tyrant

[solid horizon]

probably

dunecrawler is a militarised utilitarian vehicle as well

IIRC it's not specified what exactly but my guesses are either a crane or an excavator

GSC Dunecrawler

[steel ingot]

god I'm so fat i wanna eat a hive tyrant

old red eye looking mad tasty

[solid horizon]

turns out it was a transport

I like my theory better

[rocky gale]

The Junecrawler is superior

[solid horizon]

no, warpsmith on dark abeyantcrawler is superior

[steel ingot]

these seem prone to falling over

[solid horizon]

im pretty sure they have inbuilt stabilisation mechanisms

[rocky gale]

Are you prone to falling over?

[steel ingot]

yeah

[rocky gale]

Now imagine you had two extra legs

[steel ingot]

im fat and have a bad ankle and knee

so I'm like a weeble wobble

[solid horizon]

the main actuator is built on a ball joint, meaning legs can be lifted or descended beyond movement angles

[rocky gale]

Well Weebles wobble but they don't fall down

[steel ingot]

im the fall down part

[solid horizon]

this one im pretty sure is a stabilisator

my autistic ass replicated a functional dunecrawler in scrap mechanic so I know what im looking at GW

[steel ingot]

iunno i just feel like a squad of marines could bum rush and flip it from one of the legs

just grab it and lift

[solid horizon]

certainly

you could do that with a dreadnough as well

thing is

dunecrawlers as the name implies, crawl on dunes

meaning they probably have VERY good stabilisation mechanisms

you will have better luck at snapping main actuators

[rocky gale]

"Just charge it and tip it over" gets shot to death

[solid horizon]

aslo yeah

dunecrawler has a machinegun mounted on top specifically for this situation

skitarii tomorrow

[rocky gale]

Like you're just going to get blasted with an Eradication Beam or Heavy Phosphor Blaster and explode

[solid horizon]

that

I killed so many sisters with the phosphor blaster

[celest dome]

Dune crawler wouldn't really be found on its lonesome anyway

[solid horizon]

it's anti infantry stuff

[steel ingot]

i mean this implies that marines don't just charge into open gunfire and die all the time

[solid horizon]

good point

bad tactic

unless you are a slaneesh marine or a custodian maybe

[steel ingot]

like most space marines live life like they're a dawn of war unit

who heard of cover just stand there and shoot

[solid horizon]

🗣️

tbh

ramming a vehicle with a morbillion dudes is a very good strat against vehicles on tabletop

in lore, I highly doubt so

man if only dunecrawler had a heavy phosphor torch

[steel ingot]

makes me think about how khorne berserkers in dawn of war had anti vehicle

[solid horizon]

yeah

dawn of war does make funny adaptations sometimes

[steel ingot]

just bum rush the leman russ with chain axes

peel open the metal box like a Amazon package

[solid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/lowtiercat-ptsdcat-gif-2094566730569540919

dont even joke lad

melee units go through vehicles like butter

I say this as someone who has only vehicles and fights most commonly against emperor's children

💀

[steel ingot]

me confidently sitting in my lemon russ demolisher as if I'm not about to get abducted out of my tank like that scene in the animatrix

[solid horizon]

[steel ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-building-construction-explosion-amish-gif-17407420

this is how it felt to play against imperial guard

their repair speed was so fucking fast

[surreal nest]

Is there a lore reason as to why chainaxes arent as common in the loyalist arsenal or is it rule of cool bad guys have evil looking weapon

[steel ingot]

probably

if i had to guess it's prolly a "it was a heresy era weapon" making it more common among legions

[surreal nest]

Logistics and manufacturing are probably my favorite bits of 40k lore im a goblin

[steel ingot]

it is kinda fascinating

it creates one of my favorite aspects that their technology is anachronistic and flawed

that guns and weapons despite being futuristic look old and archaic

well until primaris marines got their keltek bolters

keltek? keltec

who car

also that aspect of "we can't improve or fix our weapons only make them in big automatic factories" was very interesting

like if you relic power sword got busted fucking rip buddy go grab a chain sword

[storm jungle]

Admech not interfering with a major war unless its convenient ahh

[celest dome]

Doesn't this go against the lore mentioned by the W&G bits tbh ?

[storm jungle]

What did that mention again?

[solid horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Av7XUrs7Uw

[storm jungle]

no ruststalkers so its correct

[celest dome]

IIrc, that the Peasants booted the Admech out of their sector (Coilstack or something)

[storm jungle]

But... thats just 1 section in an entire hive city lol

[solid horizon]

I thought skitarii were somewhat stealthy guys

[storm jungle]

Tertium is still filled with manufactorums

[celest dome]

That's fair

[solid horizon]

but I guess it's difficult to hide as a skitarii

[storm jungle]

I mean nothing in the lore says they are stealthy

[solid horizon]

everyone knows you plumbry face

[storm jungle]

they march and shoot

[solid horizon]

are skitarii hunter cohorts a thing in lore

[celest dome]

Skitarii are way not stealthy when their basic weapon create explosive arcs or white glowing flames

[steel ingot]

plus they prolly sound like a idling car engine

[celest dome]

Eh

[storm jungle]

lmao good point Cacti yeah

[steel ingot]

with the amount of tech crap on their bodies

[celest dome]

Not really

[storm jungle]

MvM robots ahh

[solid horizon]

I mean our rejects ain't too stealter either

[celest dome]

More like Gegeire or what ever its name is counters

[solid horizon]

they keep shouting every action they do

[steel ingot]

i mean apparently speem power packs sound like trucks

the buzz is described as being able to rattle teeth

[solid horizon]

geiger the bits that always break down on the mini

[celest dome]

Is sound like trucks or loud as trucks ?

[steel ingot]

I've read it described as being like a loud generator going

and there's like a buzz that accompanies most complex power systems

[storm jungle]

I mean this depends on the Reject lol

also literal shroud-field

[celest dome]

What I'd give to see Shroudfield be taken out back and shot

[storm jungle]

shut up

[steel ingot]

it's just reheated shade nachos

same type of one note player

chasing that high of killing the boss instantly they'll never get

[storm jungle]

as we know Vermintide invented going invisible in a game

[steel ingot]

you know what I'm saying

you're being obtuse

i elaborated and everything

[storm jungle]

Explode

[solid horizon]

youre being ragebaited bro it's gonna be alright

[steel ingot]

teleport to the woods

[solid horizon]

all you gotta do is play along and not care

[storm jungle]

"ragebaited"

its just disagreement

zoomer ahh

[solid horizon]

my bad lady my bad

my brain is not fully there

[storm jungle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1462923844519067711.webp?size=96&animated=true

[steel ingot]

like disagreement on something i ain't even said !

my beef is with the type of player and playstyle that emerges from current shroud meta

it mirrors the same issues that came up during vt2s lifetime

[plush mason]

skitarii rangers are hunter killer squads but that doesnt mean stealthy

it just means they got strong tracking/spotting ability and long range killing power

[storm jungle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/1tk8mtj/the_importance_of_hive/

Love people just straight up saying Warhammer Crime exists as a rebuke to this post, my goats

🗣️

[rancid cove]

Too much word, @ grok summarize this for me

[steel ingot]

i can't tell was hive good or not

[storm jungle]

Its good but just way too long and a slog

[rancid cove]

Tbh this post is just dumb, its almost like saying that the novels of massive battles are not worth telling. WHY CANT YOU JUST ENJOY BOTH AND MUST THINK ONE IS SUPERIOR

[steel ingot]

everyone these days needs a moral reason to not like a thing

your reason for not liking something has to be subjective to be superior

[storm jungle]

Love these two tho they legit just 1:1 speak what i was thinking lmao

[steel ingot]

when in reality you can say "i like hive cause it's not big battles"

[storm jungle]

Also yea i hate the endless wank Abnett gets for this shit

its like the Leon Kennedy syndrome, the moment hes in anything its automatic "peak best thing ever"

[steel ingot]

i like abnett but also like any long storied creator

he can miss

[rancid cove]

OP acting like Snyder fans
OMG HES THE BLUEPRINT FOR CASUAL IMPERIUM LIFE NOVELS!!!!

[storm jungle]

This honestly

[storm jungle]

He can but people just dont wanna admit it

I was there when End and the Shit came out

peopel were comparing it to greek sagas/LOTR, like bro he is not Tolkien lmao

[rancid cove]

Its just dumb. They act like the mass scale wars which is like 90% of the charm of 40k are... bad. Like just completely worse than Hive due to not being a "niche" thing of wanting to show a normal imperial life which we have ton of shit speaking about it

[rancid cove]

Aint it a still highly praised book?

[storm jungle]

I think Ian's video said it best

its a fantastic read but after a point you just wish it ENDS

remember its 3 books and one of them is 700+ pages long

[rancid cove]

Splendid

[storm jungle]

the others two are around 500, its insane

I read all 3 as they came out and it as one of the most painful reading experiences ever, essentially Abnett unleashed with his non-existant editor Nick Kyme lmao

[steel ingot]

700 fucking pages is 3 books into an omnibus what the fuck

[storm jungle]

YEA

Like to give you guys an idea; and Abnett says this in the last book's aftermath;

Kyme the shitty Salamander author/his editor for this said and I QUOTE

"Write as much as you want, dont worry about the word count."

Dumb motherfucker

[steel ingot]

he's from the Stephen King school of rambling author

[storm jungle]

King i think is fun to read at least and writes like stand-alone novels

Abnett is up his own ass constantly like the oxford graduate that he is

ASTARTESIAN is not a word you dumb fuck

[solid horizon]

bless you

[steel ingot]

you ever seen those old jokes about the ads for Stephen kings the stand

back in the 90s every year there was a new even bigger cut of the novel

[storm jungle]

Lmao yea people just wanna read more and more of it

[steel ingot]

imagine...

the new uncut version of hive...

with all the meandering plot games workshop was TOO SCARED to include

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

Reminder that this is the same man who used the ancient egyptian word for lapis lazuli hysb-iryt to describe blue lightning

[steel ingot]

that's how those ads used to go about the stand btw

very funny stuff

[storm jungle]

like... just say blue lightning

(this takes 2 pages btw)

[rancid cove]

Dan Abnett really is the Zack Snyder of 40k

ITS THE DIRECTORS CUT!!!!

[steel ingot]

you gotta understand

king was doing long ass unnecessary cuts of his books as far back as the 80s

let's get our comparisons right

[storm jungle]

Again at least his stuff is fun to read

[storm jungle]

my favorite part was people losing it when they realised End and the Deaf were gonna be 3 books saying its GW pushing for it when Abnett literally said hes just been allowed to write this much because higher-ups at GW know people will buy this shit in droves lol

[steel ingot]

ehhhhhhhhh

king has many misses

[solid horizon]

Tolkien and his devastating consequences on the writing culture

[storm jungle]

Ill read anything he wrote over this slop tbh

[steel ingot]

and he has a problem that his books longer than 400 pages meander and don't know how to end

i mean look at firestarter or Christine

the meat of the book is great but the end of those are urm

not great

[rancid cove]

Funniest part is the book couldve probably been like 300 pages if somebody just told him to not yap

[storm jungle]

Yeah he seems like the type to just not listen to any editor

it sucks because hes legit a good writer but fuck me he YAPS

[steel ingot]

many such cases

[storm jungle]

yea he just has way too much clout

so he can essentially do what he wants

[steel ingot]

i don't know if it's clout per say but yeah i can agree

[storm jungle]

its absolutely clout

[steel ingot]

i know a lot of editors can be hands off if the authors style is rambling like abnett

[storm jungle]

Abnett has always been known to just do what he wants

[solid horizon]

im not a book guy but im gonna assume this kind of literary digression is the equivalent of prog rock's overly and unecessary long instrumental solos and intros

[steel ingot]

but it definitely also has to do with it big name he carries

yeah but prog rock sucks for the same reason post rock doesn't figure that out

[solid horizon]

[steel ingot]

anyways back topic

i think modern era criticism really needs to go under the microscope with how people feel things they like need to be infallible

the consequence of which just makes meaningful discussion about the merits of "is this book good or not" annoying as hell

by the way on the topic of lore

so like do people on fortress worlds and war worlds still have like jobs

outside of the people doing the war

[celest dome]

War world less so, but there are still logistical worlds and world that serve the soldiery

[surreal nest]

I love that aspect so much

[steel ingot]

like as if the plasma gun is an old timey sword of old

it's cool

too bad we ditched it !!!!!!!

[surreal nest]

Also a comedically similar facet to actual fascist regimes of utilizing old weapons

Love it

[steel ingot]

i will die on the hill that he modern primaris gear does away with the cooler aesthetics of speem guns

they are saucesless and lame because they try to look modern

[surreal nest]

I 100% agree. Even combi weapons are so rare in primaris kits

Thats probably for lore reasons but still

My favorite type of stupid sci fi bullshit

[solid horizon]

combi weapon is fun

doohickey gun go

Some of the combis hurt me

[surreal nest]

I love how they are so unreliable too

[near wasp]

Combi weapons are literally the over engineered telsas of 40k

[near wasp]

Something something German cars

[steel ingot]

What is this device bro

[solid horizon]

the old CSM termie one is my favorite

[surreal nest]

Unless im mis remembering lore I read, but combi weapons dont last too long without constant maintenance and are really hard to fix

[near wasp]

That's not that bad at least it might work

[solid horizon]

clearly a bolter with a melta nozzle and a chainsaw

[steel ingot]

where's the one where the bullets have to travel up and down to get to the barrel

YES HAD ONE

legendary stuff

[solid horizon]

nvm they didnt even change it

the contraption

[near wasp]

God I hate this one

[surreal nest]

Its literally a crazy straw

[near wasp]

Where the bolt go

[solid horizon]

whats the grip knife even for

[steel ingot]

this is an ork weapon essentially

[storm jungle]

Even in a castle you need someone to clean the toilets

there is life its just under strict military curfew and other shit

[solid horizon]

this is the one I know

[steel ingot]

okay i asked because i saw a funny video and i wanted to make a joke

[storm jungle]

👎

[solid horizon]

back when it was a combi melta and not just a combi weapon

[surreal nest]

Ok tbh the grip knife goes hard though

[rancid cove]

Combi weapons is one of my favorite things because its just "what if we pick grenade launchers and just change the grenade launcher into anything else"

[solid horizon]

rare footage of rannick using a combi weapon

Is this a combi melta with the bolter on bottom???

No right

Why is this in combi melta category

Wait it might be

[solid horizon]

bolter with melta on top

and tactical bullet trinket

[surreal nest]

A one handed melta with underbarrel bolter sounds like a really bad idea

[storm jungle]

its literalyl a combi

lol

[surreal nest]

Yeah but I assumed the bolt would be on top

[storm jungle]

dude

[surreal nest]

Ive never seen the melta part on top

[storm jungle]

you havent seen some of the more cursed combos lol

[solid horizon]

it's always on top tbh

[surreal nest]

False

When it starts diminishing the fantasy aspect of a fantasy setting it stops being cool

LMFAO

[surreal nest]

Tbh sm2 has really fun build potential now

[rancid cove]

Who is he and why do I want to punch him

[surreal nest]

I love making assault builds and steamrolling siege

the game barely ever shows the Imperium being evil

[solid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/the-x-files-txf-x-files-fox-mulder-mulder-gif-27626835

[rancid cove]

I really like the game dont get me wrong I have almost a thousand hours

[alpine star]

it's like when people read the dawn of fire books and thought it was g-man improving the imperium and the emperor demonstrating more power and that his religion is right actually, rather than the story of a primarch getting ground down into madness

[surreal nest]

Nah this game is like if you played as the Helghasts during Killzone

[storm jungle]

OOF

Holy shit so apt actually

lmao

[storm jungle]

Banned btw

[languid meadow]

At least you can feel sympathy for the helghast somewhat

[storm jungle]

[languid meadow]

I don't feel sympathy for the baby lobotomizer that just fixed my engine

yeah gather them all in one place so we can bomb it

[young pecan]

It's funny that they seemingly only collab with fascist, objectively evil fictional empires

[languid meadow]

I mean the helghan was fucked over and time and time again kicked down however it doesn't justify a lot of the atrocities they do

[young pecan]

So Imperium was a LONG time coming for it imo

[languid meadow]

Glory to Mars

[vagrant fox]

Helghast gem mentioned

[alpine star]

it's a conscious decision, from what I have seen. Even their base armor takes inspiration from stuff like SW storm troopers

[storm jungle]

Helghast are sympathetic until they go full fascist genocide. Thats the joke.

[surreal nest]

Yeah you're not wrong their storyline was really well done

[languid meadow]

Yeah

[storm jungle]

it helps that ISA is basically as worse lol

[vagrant fox]

Visari is a better leader than any chudmarch

[surreal nest]

I wanna replay killzone but I like physically cant use a controller for a fps game

It feels so weird

[young pecan]

When the guys who name themselves after the underworld and evil undead turn out evil

[alpine star]

it's also a motif in both warhammer and HD that a lot of people fail to understand. War drives even the victims of aggression to become worse, but the desperate and hateful actions you pressured them into do not excuse your own aggression. Both sides can suck at once

[vagrant fox]

I would kill 40k for some Killzone PC ports

[storm jungle]

also before i almost forget

[storm jungle]

"YOU, THE STRENGHT IN MY ARMS, THE HOLDERS OF MY DREAM...."

[alpine star]

the problem is that the idiots are taking the tragic heroes crushed by the system in the abnett books and declaring that those are actually representing humanity in the imperium. Still annoyed at how many people read the beginning of the heresy and fail to get it

[storm jungle]

🗣️ 🔥

[vagrant fox]

only rhuairidh has the clarity of vision

[heady rivet]

Its insane how they do literally nothing wrong...

[storm jungle]

Tbh the Heresy is also really bad at this, it shows the Imperium being cruel but every single novel is just wanking the Loyalists

[vagrant fox]

They should have won life is no fair

[alpine star]

also reminds me, my favourite running gag in 40k is still how, in every ciaphas cain book, there is at least one example of brutal grimdark that cain is just too used to or too narrowminded to take offense to or notice, like the guard ressort planet that actually produces combat servitors, the riot in a "protein reclamation plant" or shipping in criminals for life fire exercises at the schola progenium

[tough haven]

Well your first issue is assuming heresy readers can understand nuance

[heady rivet]

Franchise would have genuinely been in a better place if the ISA just couldnt do it. Like they repel the Helghast and then just cant win anyway. Shadowfall cold war was fine but the steps to get there and the situation on the ground because of it sucked

[alpine star]

honestly why I dislike reading space marine books so much. I feel like a lot of the grandiose language they use to wank themselves off is actually ironic, but if so, they have lost track of what they were doing long ago

[surreal nest]

I was gonna say I think heresy did irreparable damage

I really dont think it needed to exist its kind of annoying

[vagrant fox]

Shadow Fall was a bit goofy but eh

[rancid cove]

Heresy novels showcasing the loyalist side is literally this

[vagrant fox]

I hate Hadron

i'm not rewriting this

[storm jungle]

Yeah it just gets so repetitive

[storm jungle]

this is why I hate most guard books

its all the same shit

Fight against Chaos, Traitor Guard, Nids, Orks whatever as generic enemies with no nuance beyond "muh guardsman good guys"

[alpine star]

the fall of cadia book went the other way and was too unsubtle about it, but at least we got the kasrkin storyline ending with said guy just getting randomly shot and it being pointed out that his whole self importance was delusional from the start

[vagrant fox]

so far i wonder if the only reason I'm enjoying soul drinkers is that every time it takes a few pages to sing the praises and honor of the astartes it immediately spits in the face of that

[vagrant fox]

Veterans of The Fall has some interesting Chaos POV but they're really just there to be McEvil Badguy

I played too much darktide, this is the only hadron I could think of

[rancid cove]

Muh guardsman different from others.. theyre loyalists but for a good cause... + theyre very fucking cool and beat shit they shouldnt because thats how cool they are

[near wasp]

Still facsist

[steel ingot]

like the stories of the imperials being faced directly with the problems of their factions is good actually and better than if we were throating how cool they are

i know sub zero take

[alpine star]

another reason why to like that one assasinorum book. We got heroism, but it's explicitly in spite of, rather than in service to the system

[heady rivet]

My Guardsmen are from a war world they're shooting your ass for being from a different Hive. They firing squad workers strikes in the tank factories. They do this for no reason other than itz what they do on this planet. We BALL in this MFer

[languid meadow]

What even got automated here

[vagrant fox]

More guard should be unapologetically evil it's true

[near wasp]

I feel like knight worlds are the most likely to actually produce decent people just out of the fact they have a code of ethics

[storm jungle]

I mean

kind of but not really?

A caste of nobility controlling an entire planet always ends terribly

[surreal nest]

Most imperium books annoy me because they always have to have two enemies at one time it can never just be one big bad

[heady rivet]

If you want a hecking wholesome Guardsman OC they have to basically be drafted and then fight Orks and Nids on planets with 0 population. Otherwise they shooting people past curfew on a planet that had a riot in another hemisphere

[steel ingot]

its like actual real knights, all honor and ethics is still in service of being an iron fist

[rocky gale]

Just like real world knights, their code of ethics and chivalry stopped them from doing anyt bad things ever

[surreal nest]

I know its the entire point of 40k but its almost comedy how often "and then they showed up" happens

[storm jungle]

Also its important to remember Knights IRL were cunts, they legit treated most people beneath them like cockroaches

[near wasp]

I mean yeah but the people it turns out are probably on average better than the average guardsman

[steel ingot]

JINX

[alpine star]

the grimdark thing is that there are good people everywhere. People are still born with empathy, it's just that, in an evil system, those weaknesses are used to manipulate them into going against their values or they are just crushed for it

[steel ingot]

buy me a coke fuckass

Yeah the people who act like knights were grand royal fighters and not just rich rapists with daddy's money most of the time

[languid meadow]

MM are goofy I hate them, if I want real evil I'll just read Warhammer crime

MM are evilslop

[near wasp]

Oh I've very aware, knights had to be controlled heavily outside of war because they'd r@pe and pillage so much and cause damages to lords and such. Most of the code existed to controlling knights

[languid meadow]

Shitty evil

Like minotaurs

[storm jungle]

i think i only had that illusion broken while reading GoT then going up to search IRL knights, they are glorified like crazy

other than heimerdinger arcane was the friends we made along the way

[surreal nest]

Especially the mountain being considered a knight i was like huh, knights arent that nice

[languid meadow]

How war and choices will break even the most brainwashed of people and how just mundanely evil the imperium is even in logistics

It's peak

[near wasp]

Oh yeah knights did so much fucked up shit. But like if you broke the code you might die or be shamed so it helped a bit. Gave them a "noble" veneer

[languid meadow]

Cant wait for nobody to ever mention this show in 2 years

[rancid cove]

Bruh hold on on, even them have fun doing shit around the block

[plush mason]

eh its because i have some friends that are fucking chuds and did nothing but overhype the show untill they realized its antichud

[rocky gale]

Bruh there's already a spin off show coming like next year

[rancid cove]

You are genuinely tweaking if you believe the show is gonna fall off in popularity just cause its main series is over

[languid meadow]

Which fucking channel was talking about C&C again

A couple days ago

[rocky gale]

Command and Conquer?

[languid meadow]

Yes

[storm jungle]

Lmfao i love this comment because the show is over and its ALREADY peaking in memes again.

literally could not be more wrong

[rancid cove]

So you're gonna let chud friends ruin the experience of a fun watch?

[plush mason]

as in command and conquer?

[storm jungle]

it has literally been immortalised in meme-culture

[languid meadow]

Yes

[surreal nest]

I rewatched s5 and I changed my mind mostly but I still think I'm a little disappointed with some story beats

[languid meadow]

The other one you're thinking about isn't spelt that way

[plush mason]

they already spoiled like half the seasons for me so

[rancid cove]

second most memed show ever
The amount of memes generated from this show can only be compared by that of Breaking Bad

[storm jungle]

^^^

like in comparison

GoT S8 and Stranger Things which this last season keeps getting compared to just ended

zero memes

nothing

just dead

[rocky gale]

Yea it's nowhere close to GoT or ST in terms of flopping

[storm jungle]

very much so yea

[plush mason]

ngl stranger things will likely live on just because of the crossovers

[rancid cove]

guys is my Chud of Horus cool?

[vagrant fox]

Boys finale has a lower rating than Stranger Things ☝️ 🤓

[rocky gale]

and?

[vagrant fox]

idk

[vagrant fox]

I'm putting off going to the store

[storm jungle]

Same ratings who downvoted breaking bad's finale for no reason

[rocky gale]

Appeal to popularity or whatever

[plush mason]

best faction

Appeal to authority

[storm jungle]

He is

[rocky gale]

ad hominin

[languid meadow]

Ah homo or something

[storm jungle]

Its got a lot of "guh" things and not amazing but its very much not dogshit like a lot of people keep insisting. I also genuinely think the shit Donnie/the US is gonna do make it age even MORE like wine

(which um isnt a good thing IRL but who the fuck cares anymore)

also is anyone excited for the Cuban invasion?

🙂

CANT WAIT

[heady rivet]

Not for no reason. Breaking Bad fans were rating every single show they could low in huge raids in imdb to keep Ozymandias the highest rated TV episode. So then what goes around comes around

[storm jungle]

Yea I know its still braindead lmao

[languid meadow]

Bay of pigs 2 !!

[storm jungle]

my point was TV ratings mean nothing

[storm jungle]

Also this

I legit forgot Cuba was having a humanitarian crisis

[languid meadow]

Oh you just fucking KNOW they're gonna try via that bay again

[plush mason]

and its gona fail even harder

[vagrant fox]

S4 of The Boys lost me a bit and I wish a lot of S5 was different but it entertained me fine

[languid meadow]

"reclaim our national pride" or something

Mark my words

That phrase EXACTLY

[near wasp]

Yeah entire government is burning down

[rancid cove]

Opening twitter to see the republican party genuinely celebrating it and sayin shit about importing woman from Cuba to the US because fertility rate

[heady rivet]

Dw Hasan Piker went to aura farm in 2k dollar coats and use up the power grid in a luxury hotel

[storm jungle]

Yep

They also wanna re-open the nation to western corporate influence

[plush mason]

im sorry, what

[storm jungle]

An aircraft carrier was also moved to the carribbean iirc?

[surreal nest]

Still think my main issue with it is a lot of the like connections or mysteries they are alluding to with their prequel when I really have no interest but thats on me for not wanting to explore the series further

[plush mason]

"importing women" mother fucker thats just out right slavery

[near wasp]

I mean I'm no Cuba supporter but like they've been fucked for along time

[heady rivet]

Its crazy to think that Elián González picture got Bush into office when you think about it

Bush Jr

That is

[storm jungle]

Yeah im gonna be ignoring the spin-offs unless I hear good buzz around them.

I avoided Maul entirely for example because slop before i saw the reactions saying its peak and had to watch it and yep GEM ALERT 🗣️ 🔥

[rancid cove]

People were genuinely saying that on Twitter when they invaded Venezuela, saying how the Venezuelan women could help improve the frtility rate

Wish I was joking man

[surreal nest]

Its like sm2 ending teasing more adventures with sm3 when I know im just gonna play the campaign to unlock the multiplayer and not give a fuck

[storm jungle]

Star Wars Crime: Maul™

all i could ask for

[plush mason]

i am so so tried of this country

[languid meadow]

Sadly I think saber will fuck up necrons if they're in sm3
