Somehow

Horus Lupercal has returned

[arctic talon]

yeah you see

that oen is funny

[gleaming gale]

This is Horus' heresy

[storm jungle]

(this is gonna happen btw)

[timid pasture]

Surprised he didn’t get killed

[timid pasture]

I always wanted him to die

[rancid cove]

ngl the "palpatine has returned" only works after they revealed how through the comics but man... they shouldve done that explanation first

[storm jungle]

hes just built different

[timid pasture]

Lmao

[arctic talon]

its just like the shitty star wars novels for it

but ironically executed better

No like

I think Palpatine coming back to life was less shit in the sequal trilogy then the original Dark Empire stuff

Its still shit

but the bar is like literally in earths mantle

[solid horizon]

[arctic talon]

also there were like

[magic niche]

If not warhammer

[hollow zodiac]

They fixed the bug seemingly

So feel free to shoot her

[storm jungle]

^^ Chud

[celest cedar]

we love elves

[storm jungle]

It doesnt break the game shes just a pretty OP companion to have

[storm jungle]

Any guy that doesnt is always on the sus list for me tbh

or a dwarfcel

[celest cedar]

dwarf fans always have the weirdest guys i swear

[silver grail]

Shouldn’t have called me a monkey

[storm jungle]

They are a "type"

[storm jungle]

You are a literal trader-nazi

i dont really blame her

[silver grail]

Fair enough actually

[storm jungle]

Its an important context to have

[silver grail]

(I only shoot her on chaos or super duper Nazi runs)

[storm jungle]

I tried imperial-run but its just so boring

it has some hilarious dialogue choices

but thats kind of it

[silver grail]

True

[storm jungle]

you barely have any allies by the end of it

[storm jungle]

Yeah lmao

"Im rich and i get to do whatever the fuck i want to you" 😩

Unironically a pattern I'm tryna break lmao

exceptt its getting on my pc first thing

[arctic talon]

Mixing iconoclast and imperial is ideal tbh

That way you can be mega nazi and also self centered rich prick

[storm jungle]

Yea as i said before to be a good ruler you need to know when to be merciful and horrible lol

And in 40k uhhh you know

shit happens

[opaque coyote]

I feel like that's also generally the most realistic on how rogue traders are

Practical but still has that Imperium education drilled into them

[lament shoal]

Latest run I’m doing has me mixing all 3 because I’m trying to play as a lore accurate crime lord, is fun lol

[storm jungle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/wesker-no-wesker-no-no

but also yea the best is when you mix

[opaque coyote]

Albert Wesker my beloved

pure imperial or chaos is so boring its nuts lol

[lament shoal]

Can’t wait for dark heresy to fully release

[shadow plover]

tempted to try it prior to that but I'll hold off

[lament shoal]

Also the new trailer for the upcoming rt dlc looked cool

[opaque coyote]

You better make sure you get that gabagool.

It's funny to think that a lot of Italian cuisine is actually generally earlier than you think.

Usually from immigration to the USA actually.

Because of easy access to meat, cheese, etc.

Pizza was technically invented in Naples but it had no tomatoes at all.

[urban spire]

native italian cuisine is mid as hell

[celest cedar]

that catachan companion look lowk tuff

[opaque coyote]

Yeah most of what we know as Italian cuisine is after the diaspora of Italians

[timid pasture]

Pizza is my favorite food!

diaspora italian cuisine fucks hard

[opaque coyote]

💀

Tbf I don't mind some hope

Because shadow needs light to be apparent

[celest cedar]

just work on the next game lil bro 😭

[opaque coyote]

But the fact that it's mainly from the primarchs

Is probably the worst part

[urban spire]

STOP MAKING THE WITCHER DLC

that game is too long already

[shadow plover]

Yes Grimdark requires the speck of hope to work, but in a personal scale, not as a whole

[celest cedar]

I could never get into witcher 3

[shadow plover]

It's a dlc that will tie in to the narrative of W4, of course they'll make one

[lament shoal]

I hope he’s got an aussie accent

[urban spire]

it's fun, but it runs out of being fun before you run out of game

[opaque coyote]

"Please sir, I want to work on Cyberpunk Orion-"

"WITCHER 3 DLC."

[opaque coyote]

Combat is surprisingly shallow

Kinda sucks given that it has a good base but it gets

Pretty fucking repetitive

[celest cedar]

I just parrot that witcher 3 is goty ig

[opaque coyote]

It's held up by the fact that...

It has good writing

[celest cedar]

but I just cant ever get into the gameplay, the protag 💀

[opaque coyote]

A lot of CD projekt red's games suffer from the combat being fairly underbaked

[urban spire]

the protag is very gen x

genx snarkyman

[opaque coyote]

He's also very sexy

I mean what

[sacred ginkgo]

Geralt?

He has one tone of voice

[urban spire]

i'm sure i'd be into geralt if i was into dudes

[sacred ginkgo]

He's too lean

[shadow plover]

Geralt ascends sexuality preferences

[sacred ginkgo]

He's a weird kind of muscly lean

[opaque coyote]

Personally, I generally agree, but I do think there is room for actual bits of hope for the setting.

Purely because there needs to be something for the people that exist to keep coping that

"Things are gonna get better bro trust"

it gets worse

[shadow plover]

That's what I usually mean what hope on a personal level is

[opaque coyote]

Which is why I don't mind Guilliman.

[shadow plover]

like people can start to think it'll get good or it can even get better for some for a while, but as a whole nothing is fixing the blight on the imperium

[opaque coyote]

Probably the best addition to the "narrative".

He can't fix the blight

[shadow plover]

Real

[opaque coyote]

But he could at least manage it better

[timid pasture]

That’s Just Every open world game tbh

First playthrough Is Good cuz u aint know shit

But shortly after you reach a point where you are OP as shit and no enemies can really touch you

[shadow plover]

Like Guilliman is THE only one in the whole Imperium that even has a chance of getting things better but it is so bad even he will never manage it in the end

[opaque coyote]

Not referring to exploration.

Just the combat loop. Witcher 3 is like on the level of Skyrim

[celest cedar]

its hit or miss

[opaque coyote]

For combat wise

[celest cedar]

is it even the actual direction or is that what the VA thought would fit

[shadow plover]

It's not AS bad as Skyrim, but it's not great

[timid pasture]

Ohhh yes I agree

[opaque coyote]

Honestly the funniest thing they can do is that

When the Lion comes back. Guilliman just looks at him and is like

"...not another problem to manage."

Because he doesn't know that he has mellowed out

For all he knows, Lion is the same bastard as he was

[shadow plover]

Yeah, I've been dreading and hoping what they'll do with that

[opaque coyote]

So it would make sense that Guilliman wouldn't be that happy

Because now he has to deal with someone who's only beaten by Perturabo

In terms of how stubborn he is

And also just the sheer inability to relate or trust anybody

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I hope it just doesn't change much

Like that would make sense

[shadow plover]

Yeah, I can see them even getting a bit hostile between one another but I doubt it will go that way

It is just pretty wild how long they've gone without splurging on this topic in the narrative

all of 10th edition

Lion returned at the end of 9th

theres a bit of a gimp thing going on with my skitarii vanguards

speaking of which

orlock head options cold fit for my beloved leatherboys

I got a 5 usd refund for the wrong bloodslaughterer head and I have some credit left so im checking what I could get

btw @rancid cove you might like what this dude looks like

[rancid cove]

Ive seen him a couple of times and I love it, thought of adding it into a major character of the warband somehow

[rancid cove]

This seems to happen to all factions somehow

[solid horizon]

they're overseers for solar auxilia, this is what the loyalist version looks like

toilet brush roman man vs satan man

[rancid cove]

So im making him the slave overseer

Also goddamn the loyalist is ugly as fuck

[solid horizon]

neat

[winged silo]

To be honest, I like 40k more as a setting than a story.

[sharp pollen]

"40k is a story" lol

[rancid cove]

Buddy you wont believe what I have to tell you

40k isnt a story and never was one

Its always been a setting

[near wasp]

[winged silo]

Yeah

I feel the same way about Star Wars.

Andor and Maul proved they have the sauce, but they need to apply it more.

[rancid cove]

Star Wars is different

Because its a story

Unless you're including legends and like SWTOR, KOTOR and etc

Those can be more of a setting

[winged silo]

That. Yes.

[rancid cove]

Peak

[winged silo]

I like the sauce SWTOR and KOTOR provided.

[storm jungle]

I think its still very easy to confuse 40k as a story

A LOT of fans have this opinion because GW generally does an excellent job hiding the fact that every single update is actually just for tabletop reasons lol

[rancid cove]

It is

[solid horizon]

I was gonna say

[sharp pollen]

at first, there was E, then... Horoos betrayed... then Gooliman resoorected

[rancid cove]

When I first joined the hobby I legit was mad over the slow progress of the "story" and how some shit was handled before realizing its a setting for minis

Lmao

[solid horizon]

its stories in a setting made to embellish minis

warhammer without context is like

1st edition

[storm jungle]

Basically this yea its why i kinda roll my eyes when people want the "plot" to move along

[storm jungle]

Lmao exactly yea

you break out of the hamster wheel when you go and do your own homebrew stuff in 40k

you'll always sector-build

[shadow plover]

Many such cases for people who hopped aboard around 7th or 8th

[storm jungle]

theres no escape

🗣️

[solid horizon]

find a place in time find a place in space

[storm jungle]

^

[solid horizon]

thats where the homebrew lies

[storm jungle]

its genuinely very fun to do as well

[solid horizon]

my homebrew doesnt happen in the "recent" warhammer era

[winged silo]

Imagine a 40k MMO like No Man's Sky. It would go absolutely horribly but it'd be kinda fun.

I just use 40k for my characters to be honest.

[storm jungle]

Thats what you should do yea

[winged silo]

Its world gives me an entire open kitchen to cook.

[rancid cove]

Legit this and then watching actual loretubers like Ian

Any other 40k loretuber does NOT try to explain this to you

[rancid cove]

[shadow plover]

It's not a bad thing per se

[storm jungle]

i think its an actual revelation when you watch that video because seeing how every single story push has a tabletop reason behind it is some Truman Show type of shit 😩

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-good-afternoon-good-evening-good-night-hello-gif-22572201

[solid horizon]

it's painful to accept, but books and stuff are pretty much tabletop sideproduct

it's not that bad imo, tabletop games can be very narrative like they can be pure incoherent carnage

personally I like narrative games more because it feels less like uhhhhh

super smash bros or sumting

and also named characters suck

[magic niche]

Me when I name a mini Timmy and he dies instantly

[solid horizon]

well

there is a reason to that

due to their skills and abilities, named character represent bigger danger which makes them priority target

this is why irl commanders dont go on the battlefield

[rancid cove]

Even then 40k commanders go to the battlefield, theyre just more secured + plot

[solid horizon]

I mean yeah you can chose not to ram like an idiot with your commander

out of all the games ive done, my warlord never died lmao

[storm jungle]

Yeah even videogames and books are ENTIRELY made to indoctrinate you to buy minis lol

like i dont play tabletop yet GW still manages to get my money one way or another

[solid horizon]

it's true

I have defilers and flayed ones because of DoW

[storm jungle]

lmao yea

[rancid cove]

Consoome... this character/faction so cool and based... buy... consoome...

[magic niche]

Hence why we can’t have more arby cosmetics 😔

[solid horizon]

we could get more arby cosmetics

but they would be based on old models

[storm jungle]

Yea which GW would prob not allow tbh

arbites got entirely re-invented aesthetic wise with kill-team

[solid horizon]

and god knows GW execs are not fond of old models unless they are highly profitable

[rancid cove]

Does this mean arbites refresh soon?

[winged silo]

GW got me to spend 50 bucks on Mechanicus 2

[storm jungle]

lmao I was reading the new Absolute Green Arrow

the opening has him kill a awful billionaire right

[solid horizon]

DESTROYED

[storm jungle]

and the next page is this

I LOVE how they use the word "unalive" and shit

the top right guy is so real

"before i get shadowbanned again"

I always say killed regarding warhammer rules, but I gotta admit destroyed is more metal

yeah bro im DESTROYING titus rn

[rose thorn]

Is green arrow in this timeline not Oliver or is that the mystery of the comic

[rancid cove]

The thing is

THEYRE NOT EVEN WRONG

[storm jungle]

Yeah no

this is all inspired by IRL stuff

[storm jungle]

hes Oliver but hes been murdered in a previous issue

because he tried to hunt down Jubal for traficking kids

and they killed him

[rose thorn]

Ohhhhhhhh

[rancid cove]

Also holy aura for green arrow

[storm jungle]

its in uh Absolute Evil
https://readfreecomicsonline.com/absolute-evil-issue-1-2025/

[solid horizon]

rich people hunting predators

[rose thorn]

This gives me a murder mystery idea

[solid horizon]

a subtle reminder it is fiction

[storm jungle]

It absolutely is yes

basically its a green arrwo comic BUT

the protagonist is Black Canary

whos trying to find out who this vigilante is

[rancid cove]

Omg erika and firecracker

[storm jungle]

because she nows Olly has to be dead

she also works for rich people because if she doesnt the health CEO will cut her dad's healthcare funds

its fucking vile

[rose thorn]

I remember people freaking out about “how deep and symbolic” the boys is because a lady was killed on the left wing of an eagle

And I have heard zero other instances of symbolism

About the show

[rancid cove]

Absolute Universe is only a work of fiction because it has heroes trying to stop evil cause this shit prob happening rn irl

[storm jungle]

^

its suppose to be escapism at its purest form yea

you can tell the author hates this shit because a few pages later the epstein-standin Jubal is noted to uh

• Had his fingers cut

• Stabbed in the genitals repeatedly

lmao

[solid horizon]

rich folks will close their eyes on everything because they are too scared it impacts their wallet

What was Trump deleting his instagram posts about

[solid horizon]

c'mon baby eat the rich

[storm jungle]

Might have been his media team telling him to not do it

he has done it in the past for ultra-cringe posts

[rancid cove]

During pre-El*n Twitter, I always wondered what Trump had said when his shit got constantly deleted and his account suspended
Now every time I read about it post El^n, I wish to never read it again

[storm jungle]

same

he literalyl had his account suspended after the capital riot iirc

[rancid cove]

Gee I wonder what he said

M.M out here practicing what he learned with Frenchie

[storm jungle]

LMFAO BRUH

[rancid cove]

What is even context to this fucking scene

[storm jungle]

I dont know but im gonna use it for a space marine meme

Ping me when its done

I should watch two popes that movie seems good

[storm jungle]

lmao IF i make it

[storm jungle]

apparently it doesnt really tell the story properly

[rancid cove]

Has a space marine ever been servitorized or nah

[hallow plover]

They get dreadnought'd

[rancid cove]

I know but I mean, has no one tried to turn a marine into a servitor? Like chaos or something

[hallow plover]

But maybe failed scouts

[steel ingot]

i dont know id imagine they'd just get scrapped for parts

like organic or otherwise

[rancid cove]

True

[steel ingot]

the closest thing marines have to servitorization is dreadnoughts

[raven stone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYcZki2oT78

Counting down to when GW realizes there is demand and realeases their own version

(which would suck in design no less)

[hallow plover]

Chaos definitely turns them into helbrutes

[steel ingot]

there's a part in the night lords book where they talk about controlling malcharion in the dreadnought with electrical pain impulses and reducing him to a giant battle servitor

so like it can essentially be that

theoretically

[rancid cove]

I thought that at least one point in 40k lore, someone would turn a marine into a servitor to kind of send a message

Like "I can do this. Cry about it."

[steel ingot]

if they have i havent heard of it

i dunno sometimes the actual likelyhood of things changes based on author whims

take servo skulls for example

9 times outta 10 its because you are a disposable tool

and then the 10th time "this is an honored warrior turned into a servo skull companion to inspire my retinue"

not even getting into how the mechanicus view it

[storm jungle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/y6lmbr/are_there_any_examples_of_servitorized_space/

[rancid cove]

I KNEW I LIKED THE NIGHT LORDS FOR A REASON

YEAH CURZE TURN THOSE CHUDS INTO SERVITORS

[steel ingot]

of course its the chud lord himself

guy who made a carpet of human faces cause he was bored

living ! human faces in the carpet

[rancid cove]

Hell yeah thats why curze is the goat 🗣️

[solid horizon]

helbrutes are conscious

which is part of their punishment

I have started to write down lore of my cult, I have become a chud

[rancid cove]

Morvhenn Vahl novel has a Night Lord chaos lord sending one of his soldiers to be made a helbrute as punishment

[solid horizon]

trying to get that lexicanum wording

[rancid cove]

Welcome to the homebrew club

[steel ingot]

i need to like actually write lore down for my chaos cult

[rancid cove]

I have to re write mine and make it more simple and lexicanum worded

My culture section had reached 16k words and wasnt even halfway done

[steel ingot]

i ripped off an old short story of a chapter that gets lost in a temporal anomaly cause that ones always fun, except they are changed by like a psychic noise in the warp

[rancid cove]

They heard the Bloop but in the warp

[steel ingot]

cause i love reading things that can happen in the warp from the ttrpgs and being like mmhmm write that down

I forget the original story exactly but the short story is a chapter gets called to assist a hive city, and they go into the warp and are lost for a hundred years changing into a chaos legion in the process, but they pop out in real time 25 minutes after they go in and just kill the whole planet and leave forever

its a great story

[rancid cove]

I like to imagine theres enormous beasts that acts like whales in the warp that just feeds off of living beings energy that travel there and just randomly attacks ships
Not even a daemon, just a xenos animal that evolved to that point

[steel ingot]

like as a concept for what can happen

but yeah cult i made are trapped in the warp in this are that has this pervasive psychic scream that is ripping through their minds, its all they can hear, and after 100 years of being trapped they worship the noise, and slaneeshi daemons try to like trick them into spreading the noise outside in realspace since they really dont wanna leave their corner of the warp

and they just call it the noise

is fun

[magic niche]

Kinda cool

[rancid cove]

Yuh yuh

[steel ingot]

the night lords when they're just enjoying being expert torturers with no comparison are at their best

they get dunked on a lot which they ALSO deserve

but the cruelty that knows no bounds really goes to the 40k extent in a way that think is a great defining feature

[rancid cove]

I have something similar but instead of a sound it was a shape
It was a silhouette of someone/something that materialized in the lower decks of a ship that resulted in a bunch of mortals worshipping it
They call it "The Shapeless" because it was something so amazing, a form so incomprehensible that the human mind can only describe it as a shapeless being, despite it being a shape that exists outside reality

[magic niche]

Are Night Lords feared by anyone they fight alongside, like the grey knights kinda are?

[steel ingot]

i mean maybe the mortals

from what i gather most legions just dont like them

cause they are less trustworthy than even black legion

[magic niche]

Damn okay

[rancid cove]

By mortals? Yeah
With other marines? No. But marines are usually "afraid" or just weary of Night Lords because they are tricky and will backstab you for the shits n giggles
This happens with most chaos guys, but the NL do it for the love of the game rather than to get powerful

[steel ingot]

your whole war doctrine is built on betrayal and underhanded bullshitery to use terror tactics rather than a fair fight

in the night lords books the black legion just uses them as meatshields because i can only assume they dont like them that much

and its DESERVED !

thats why huron is the real chad he gets what he wants outta them despite it all

[rancid cove]

I wish they didnt get as dunked on as they do
Theyre like the punching bag enemies to put as faceless goons dying. Theyre still marines so they still can put up a fight, unfortunately they just get shit on

[steel ingot]

i mean i think conceptually if you are a chapter based entirely on treachery, nihilism, and avoiding fair fights

[rancid cove]

Well the NLs are efficient too

[magic niche]

Ohh okay I see

[steel ingot]

narratively you are made for it

[rancid cove]

True

[steel ingot]

i know the whole chapter isn't indicitive from the nl trilogy

however they do live by the no fair fights thing fairly often outside of it

which outside of the tenth company usually works out!

its their war doctrine after all, make a fight unfair, instill fear, etc etc

[magic niche]

Are they motivated purely by just having a good time then?

at everyone else's expense

[steel ingot]

Like most legions its incredibly complex

[magic niche]

Ohhh alright

[steel ingot]

generally its motivated by a semi unified hatred of the imperium

but also some people just believe this was what they were meant for, ceaseless murder, some believe its a noble goal to succeed their fathers great plan (like a total tool somebody in the tenth), some just wanna kill imperials because they dont really like them

i cant speak with authority on it but i think night lords more lean towards "this is what we were made for why deny it"

[magic niche]

I see I see

[magic niche]

They just need a hug fr fr

[steel ingot]

nah they need to all take a short walk into the cold void

[magic niche]

What are their attitudes to demons and chaos stuff?

[steel ingot]

varied

you get some sentiment they're all like the tenth legion but the point of the night lords triology is to show the pointless hypocrisy of the characters (if you ask me)

if the latest models are anything to go by they love that shit rn

like bro

PUT THAT AWAYYYYY

[magic niche]

Why does he look like 😝

[steel ingot]

he's lovin life

[arctic talon]

Thank you Kim Jong Un

[arctic talon]

probably

[spring cairn]

i was about to say

[arctic talon]

Maybe you play as the koreans

who knows

[storm jungle]

It might be like uh

they are suspecting an incoming attack

[arctic talon]

Might be multip POV

[storm jungle]

hence why hes intermixed with the squad

that makes more sense

[spring cairn]

i'm ngl, i think they're gonna get ditched p fast

[arctic talon]

they don't intermix like that though

[spring cairn]

the south koreans

[arctic talon]

militarily

[storm jungle]

Shit changes when invasion is imminent

[arctic talon]

fair

[storm jungle]

thats prob the reason

the US would absolutely increase troop presence if they suspect NK is gonna launch an invasion

[languid meadow]

They're probably gonna be relegated to just the Korean missions with the rest being price

[storm jungle]

^

like as much as it is Korean slopaganda ill say im always weak for "country under imminent invasion" vibe is always cool

[spring cairn]

yeah i think so too, and it's probably gonna be kinda short

so it always has to be NK whos an inherently evil nation lol

[arctic talon]

Even in BF4 they said it was a "rogue element"

lol

or whatever the fuck

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

was enough to have the game sold in China

btw

[storm jungle]

same with MW2

[arctic talon]

I'm not even joking

[spring cairn]

ideally these games would have no "villain" and it would work fine but alas they are all funded by the US ministry of defence

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah

[storm jungle]

also same with shepherd who was also "rogue"

[arctic talon]

its slopaganda

lol

[storm jungle]

also to be fair

lets be honest

[arctic talon]

I have a soft spot for american military slopaganda

or any military slopaganda

[storm jungle]

if NK had such equipment/chinese military power

they'd absolutely invade

[arctic talon]

[storm jungle]

so lets not be too nice here
