40k-lore-chat

[near wasp]

Bro Oliver constantly gets told to not fight certain people then gets whooped

[summer mural]

so

I finally played through all of sm2

the scale and environments and everything was good

combat was good

but i dunno

game felt kinda bland

like it was a bit short

the operations I started recently and those are really fun

mostly because you dont have to lug titus with his 1 ability around

[storm jungle]

Basically is tbh

its a perfect 7/10 game imo

it was crashing the internet with hype for like a month then entirely disappeared lol

[summer mural]

also something really weird happened in the campaign, which I felt like they forgot about but they are better than the kind of people that forget about it??? like wtf happened to the tyranid invasion, did they just kill the hive tyrant one time and then celebrate

[storm jungle]

Yeah the entire tyranid invasion plot is basically entirely sidelined, not even the side-missions really elaboerate on it as they all feel like disjointed missions

[summer mural]

i dunno everything about nids, but i feel like one synaptic collapse isnt enough

[storm jungle]

Yeah it isnt, they can just make another Tyrant.

[summer mural]

also the campaign was very mid but the operations are wayyyy more fun tbh

[storm jungle]

also the thousand sons, astropathic choir and radios can operate perfectly fine even tho theres an entire thing called Shadow in the Warp lol

[summer mural]

and all my marines look so much cooler than titus

like they cared enough about the lore to have like hammerfall bunkers but completely forgot about the tyranid invasion

[storm jungle]

dude the hammerfall bunker scene is so funny

that cutscene is SO LONG

and just DRAGS

[summer mural]

either that or gw literally texted them saying like " we need to sell more auxiliary items/toys GET ONE IN THERE"

[storm jungle]

like bro i do not care

[storm jungle]

its genuinely so hamfisted

its so obviously clunky too

lmao

[summer mural]

yeah

i like the premise of titus feeling sus and then learning to trust again but the personal conflict between them wasnt great

[storm jungle]

It was just lame

the execution of it is so bland too

Also people wnaking about Chairon or Gadriel as if they are remotely memorable in any way.

If I reminded you that Chairon is dead off-screen you wouldnt even remember who im talking about lol

[summer mural]

nah they arent memorable

acheran is cool

bald redhead dude

" I CAN SPARE THREE MEN"

[storm jungle]

he also dies btw

[summer mural]

WOT

[storm jungle]

yeah offscreen

because hes that memorable

[summer mural]

[storm jungle]

like

the fact that you dont even know this

[summer mural]

when does he die LMAO

[storm jungle]

goes to show how much they matter

lol

[storm jungle]

Post-SM2 pre-500 Worlds in some genestealer hive invasion

[summer mural]

looooooooollllll

[storm jungle]

people were acting like its some huge loss

when in a year no one will remember them

lmao

[summer mural]

well its so they can make titus a captain in sm3

[storm jungle]

yeah that too

[summer mural]

either that or give him a captain and then engineer some drama with him

i dont like titus being a captain

being a captain is a big deal

like hes strong enough sure, but as lieutenant it was nice hes running around with his lackeys and ordering 6 marines around over the place

[storm jungle]

Hes literally a marvel character, dont waste any thought on him

his status is just gonna rise more and more with the lore lol

[summer mural]

yeah

[storm jungle]

just doesnt matter, simply a marketing vehicle

[summer mural]

thats so true

hes gonna become a god

A GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD

[storm jungle]

^

Like i took a bet with my friend for 10 bucks

[solid horizon]

arch primarch titus

[storm jungle]

that hes gonna meet Guilliman in SM3

and he'll say how great he is and how he has heard of Titus or some shit

lol

[summer mural]

hes gonna get hugged by guilliman, guillimans first hug in eons

[storm jungle]

LOL

[solid horizon]

peter turbo final boss

[summer mural]

" You are truly my son"

[gleaming gale]

Would be funny if you don't play Titus at all in 3

[summer mural]

im excited for sm3 though, just so I can kill more finely rendered chaos lackeys with sick animations

[solid horizon]

when are we getting (chaos) Space Marine

[summer mural]

never

wed get it if gw approved it

[solid horizon]

[summer mural]

im sure the studios making 40k games are totally down for like a chaos game or an eldar game

but gw's gotta approve it

and someones gotta show them a pie chart so they are convinced itl sell a lot

[solid horizon]

Overlord-style game where you plays as a chaos lord sending cultist or marine minions

[summer mural]

i mean those exist?

but its not space marine

(the game)

[solid horizon]

do they ?

[summer mural]

you have total war 40k coming out

you have chaos factions in dawn of war

[solid horizon]

oh yeah but that's not an overlord type game

[summer mural]

oh

whats an overlord type game

[solid horizon]

overlord is a fantasy parody game

where you play an evil overlord followed by a horde of gremlins

and you kidnap and kill people for fun

[hollow zodiac]

REDS

[solid horizon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlord_(2007_video_game)

give me this but 40k chaos

[hollow zodiac]

I hear those colors in my brain all the time

[solid horizon]

same

[summer mural]

i dunno

I dont think thats gonna happen

[hollow zodiac]

I need to beat 2. 1 is good

[solid horizon]

one can always dream

[hollow zodiac]

That's how I feel about a bloodbowl game but it plays like The Blitz

[summer mural]

i mean it could happen, it seems like the games are popular

[solid horizon]

chaos is GW's good guy punching bag so theres no way we're getting a non strategy game with their POV

[summer mural]

yeah

a chaos only game is a hard sell for gw

[solid horizon]

you could always use night lords for better publicity

[summer mural]

if it wasnt they could have just done boltgun but with literally anything else other than ultramarines, that game has no relevance to them

it doesnt even need the graphics

they could have even done a different chapter

let alone a different race

but no, it has to be an ultramarine

[solid horizon]

always

dont you know blood angels don't even exist ?

[winged jacinth]

Overlord was such a funny concept
Upper mid tier game for being evil fantasy pikmin

I loved how the minions would equip themselves with shit

You'd walk through a pumpkin patch and half of them would have pumpkin helmets

Shame overlord 2 sucked

[celest dome]

Overlord 2 wasn't that bad

Overlord 3 though...

[outer wave]

There was an Overlord 3?

[summer mural]

theres a bunch

[outer wave]

I thought there were just the 2 games

[summer mural]

spinoffs too

[outer wave]

What the hell

[celest dome]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlord_(video_game_series)

1 Wii and 1 DS game

1 that was basically a dlc for the 1st game

Game 2

And then a multiplayer one or something

[outer wave]

Wii and DS
Ah yeah that was never gonna end well, was it?

[celest dome]

I mean, they did work quite well at their time

Not to the level of the Switch stuff

but still

Oof, reading the list of games by Codemaster and it's practically only racing games

[outer wave]

That spinoff is apparently their last non-racing game

[solid horizon]

some studios have a ludography consiting of only games that have nothing in common

[celest dome]

You could even say most

[solid horizon]

yes

especially during that time

[celest dome]

But the EA bunch I think is the most egregious, where they sell Fifa 20XX every year, and here with the F1 racing

[storm jungle]

https://youtu.be/l0hD3KBwoiA

lmao they actually show the emperor on the throne

[arctic talon]

Lmao

[vagrant fox]

that's a sick trailer

[spring cairn]

that's the new edition ?

[rancid cove]

[vagrant fox]

rip that one bozo csm lmbo

[shadow plover]

Very neat

[summer mural]

bro

that trailer is really good

I like the pace of the combat too

its not flashy but they are moving really fast

[storm jungle]

too many marines but otherwise really good to see them keep the vibe of the last edition trailer

aka "everything is fucked"

lmao

[summer mural]

the trailer guy literally saying " AND YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED"

[outer wave]

I liked that they added to the "It is the 41st Millenium." speech at the end

[summer mural]

i also like the nothing left but the cruel laughter of thirsting gods

[outer wave]

Yeah thats was good

[summer mural]

was the last edition trailer the one with guilliman

[vagrant fox]

Everything sucks but at least the Eldar live in clean environments

That's nice

[storm jungle]

loved the craftworld bit

[spring cairn]

this trailer is peak

too bad it's for tt

[storm jungle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/thats-it-yes-thats-it-1

[spring cairn]

really liked the shots of big E on the throne

[outer wave]

The two seconds of Eldar 😔

[arctic talon]

Really good trailer imo

[vagrant fox]

strong +2 trailer

[arctic talon]

Lots of marines but whatever poster child syndrome

[shadow plover]

Also a lot of marines dying

[summer mural]

also I finally got canon emperor image

[vagrant fox]

Could have used some Tau or Votann or something but eh

[storm jungle]

still too much

[spring cairn]

it was p varied even if there was a lot of marines

[summer mural]

and does anyone where I can buy the emperors canon gamer chair

[storm jungle]

they hogged too much screentime when we could have seen some other factions, imperials included

[spring cairn]

could've given some space to other xenos tho, just the eldar and the nids

[rancid cove]

holy shit they legit just showed his face

[storm jungle]

tbh

[summer mural]

yeah

good

[storm jungle]

we always knew

but its good to see it for real

[rancid cove]

it was speculated

[spring cairn]

yeah that he looked like that

[summer mural]

that he has an eyepatch?

[spring cairn]

it's been known

[storm jungle]

Nah we knew

[rancid cove]

but tbh expected him to look worse

[arctic talon]

The trailer just being marines, eldar and orks would be funny lol

If that ever happens

[summer mural]

he looks fine tbh

[arctic talon]

Return to rogue trader

[spring cairn]

oh yeah there was the orks too

but i expect the orks in everything tbh

[summer mural]

he looks better than a lot of millenia old corpses

[storm jungle]

"looks fine"

lieral fallout 1 ghoul

[vagrant fox]

I'd sacrifice the guard for more eldar appearance

[summer mural]

i mean the ghouls are a handsome and proud people

[gleaming gale]

All other factions are getting refreshed as casualty sprues for the 3 factions to triumph over

[spring cairn]

orks are warhammer stock bad guys

[arctic talon]

Lmfao

[outer wave]

His skin gets moisturized every day by custodes

[vagrant fox]

The hourglass bit was also really cool

[summer mural]

that doesnt sound..healthy

[outer wave]

He looks fiiiiine

[spring cairn]

the guard bit was very good, more of that gw please

[storm jungle]

its a cal lback to one of the older edition rulebook arts, super good

[summer mural]

also does the emperor sit on top of the pyramid thing

[spring cairn]

yeah

[outer wave]

Yerp

[gleaming gale]

Could have been the Steel Legion design reveal

[spring cairn]

it's the golden throne, the whole contraption is that

it's huge

[summer mural]

thats a big fucking pyramid how does he watch the primarchs duel

you know back in the day

[vagrant fox]

He had good eyes

[spring cairn]

with his mind bs op powers

[summer mural]

also id completely forgotten they allow people to see the throne

or was that just during the good old im alive days

[outer wave]

I dont think they typically allow people to

[sharp pollen]

some kind of manga

[outer wave]

Just effigies of the Emperor

[summer mural]

well

[storm jungle]

yeah its called Warhammer iirc

[spring cairn]

warhammer fourty thousand but japanese

desu

[summer mural]

I wonder if there are custodes right next to his chair or if all of them are just hobnobbing at the base of the structure

[vagrant fox]

what's warhammer

[rancid cove]

seeing my chuids show up again

[spring cairn]

iirc most of the ppl who get to see the golden throne are either about to die or purely maintenance staff/guards

[outer wave]

Are you on the Calgar arc? That shit goes so hard!!! When Marine Man took down that Warboss naked and with no power armour, I went "Cinema!!!" and laughed out loud then gave all my money to GW.

[spring cairn]

it's behind closed doors

[summer mural]

well, I approve of them keeping the lights off in the room

the emperors napping

his throne probably has a huge electricity bill anyway

[sharp pollen]

and then GW made naked Calgar mini!!!

[rose thorn]

Good ass trailer, GKs, GSC, Tau, DRUKHARI, LoV, and cult marines, and Knights seem to be the only factions missing

[outer wave]

YEAH ITS SO PEAK, I gotta run it in my Calgar army

[summer mural]

"the only"

names 7 factions

[spring cairn]

No LoV

very abd

bad*

they should be in everything THEYRE THE NEWEST FACTION

[rose thorn]

drukhari and LOV appear to be getting more for Armageddon

So it makes sense

They might get their own trailers soon

[summer mural]

lov are in the trailer, you cant see them because the cameraman is constantly angling upward at the throne

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[arctic talon]

Evil

[rose thorn]

I know the only 3D models for GSC they have are for the DW games and that blood angels show so they probably didn’t wanan make new ones for the trailer

I would have liked if we appeared in the acid pits with nids rho

Also I like the trailer is just “EVERYTHING IS FUCKING AWFUL UR AWFUL ITS ALL AWFUL” it’s peak

Kinda mad knights didn’t appear that was the free as fuck

But eh

[spring cairn]

"you will not be missed"

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[arctic talon]

Live emperor reaction

[vagrant fox]

That's what he gets for being being a shitty waste of a character

[dapper gyro]

Who cleans his teeth?

[scenic trout]

So he not a funny skeleton no more?....

[arctic talon]

Custodes

[arctic talon]

He never was only a funny skeleton

He’s swapped between the dessicated corpse art and skeleton every edition since 4e

On purpose

[spring cairn]

he's like a sentient mummy

[summer mural]

he basically looks like a cyborg zombie

[scenic trout]

Larpers be telling that Terra is the only good planet to live on and it is just this

[jade holly]

That’s our first official depiction of him isn’t it?

[arctic talon]

Terra is explicitly one of the shittiest

[jade holly]

alongside the statue?

[arctic talon]

No

We’ve had a lot of art pieces

Of him on the throne

[summer mural]

canon ones?

[spring cairn]

him in 3d with a very high quality render

yes

[summer mural]

also i guess this is the first video

[arctic talon]

Yes

Like

Every core rule book has got one

[summer mural]

and its the latest one too

[arctic talon]

It’s the one where he’s a dessicated corpse

[jade holly]

Ngl, the entire trailer I was waiting see Perturabo and I thought I saw Vashtorr in the warp part but no

[arctic talon]

Or the one where he’s a skeleton

[summer mural]

also hes got a spiky haircut

[scenic trout]

this a badass and scary shot of the warp jump

[crystal forum]

i thought this was a trailer for an upcoming movie or smth

[scenic trout]

GW pretty much does movies but refuses to make an official one

[crystal forum]

GW drops the hardest animations for new box editions

[spring cairn]

it's what matters

their main biz

[summer mural]

also I guess

[summer mural]

after the hourglass theres a bunch of different versions of the emperor on the throne

[arctic talon]

I mean yeah no shit

[crystal forum]

why are eldar shown if this is about armageddon

[arctic talon]

It’s like 80% of their money

[crystal forum]

is everybody going to be on that planet?

[arctic talon]

This isn’t about Armageddon

This is just new edition slop

[storm jungle]

this is an edition trailer lol

[arctic talon]

Armageddon is the opening stuff

[crystal forum]

is the new edition called armageddon?

[arctic talon]

No

It’s called 11th edition

The launch box is called Armageddon

[jade holly]

Armageddon is just the launch campaign in 11e

[scenic trout]

How often they release new editions?

[storm jungle]

Uh

like 4-5 years i think?

[spring cairn]

depends

[jade holly]

Roughly every 3 years

[storm jungle]

yeah that

its really not that long

[spring cairn]

it's not constant is it

[crystal forum]

i was confused by the description

[storm jungle]

It is rn

[hollow lantern]

It's been every 3 years since about 7e iirc

[crystal forum]

oh alright so 11th is coming out hell yeah

[hollow lantern]

Before 7e it was uh

[storm jungle]

launch set jay

launch set

[arctic talon]

4e

[storm jungle]

READ

[arctic talon]

lol

[hollow lantern]

For everyone?

[arctic talon]

Aside from 6e

[gleaming gale]

Preorders from 6 already? Bruhh

[arctic talon]

Which was only 2 years long

[hollow lantern]

I thought it was only post 7e where everything got updated every 3 years

[arctic talon]

No

3 year cycle had begun already

[crystal forum]

open your wallet and bend over

[arctic talon]

Oh wait everything

[spring cairn]

do we know what's in the armageddon box

[arctic talon]

I thought you meant core rulebook only

I’m dumb

[arctic talon]

Yes

[hollow lantern]

Tbf I was answering for everything

[spring cairn]

what is it

[hollow lantern]

They might just want to know editions

[arctic talon]

Orks vs marines

[spring cairn]

FUCK

[crystal forum]

do we know what faction will be the face of 11th

orks?

[arctic talon]

Orks and marines

[gleaming gale]

Marines lol

[crystal forum]

hell yeah

[arctic talon]

For the launch period

lol

And then after that it’s whatever the fuck

[spring cairn]

this is guard cultural appropriation

they can't do this

[arctic talon]

Bro hasn’t read codex Armageddon

[hollow lantern]

Face of 11e? This guy.

[arctic talon]

Deadass yeah

[storm jungle]

there isnt a "face" of editions tbh

[gleaming gale]

Steel Legion will be the face of 11e guard don't worry

[storm jungle]

they are the focus for launch

then get entirely forgotten

see Nids and Necrons

[spring cairn]

kriegs painted yellow

[arctic talon]

They get a campaign book

[hollow lantern]

It's the reverse fwiw

[storm jungle]

yea then forgotten

[hollow lantern]

Krieg are SL painted blue/grey

[storm jungle]

4th Tyrannic War?

Pariah Nexus?

Amongus?

[summer mural]

whos this

[gleaming gale]

500 snores of Ultramar

[summer mural]

he looks evil and shameless

[crystal forum]

they do become the faction in the beginner boxes of the editions so i guess that's something

[hollow lantern]

Asdrubael Vect

[spring cairn]

i mean the minis now, they don't do SL, you just paint kriegs yellow

[summer mural]

oh thats vect

[storm jungle]

GETOUUUU-

[summer mural]

ive never seen vects face

[scenic trout]

Thats lot of cables....

[arctic talon]

Tbf we got pariah nexus in 10e as well

[storm jungle]

too much wifi

[storm jungle]

👎

mid

[crystal forum]

i thought the throne was deep inside the golden palace

[arctic talon]

I’m feeding you to the silent king

[summer mural]

it is

[arctic talon]

It is

[scenic trout]

Greedy motherfucker, wants the 40K GBs speed

[hollow lantern]

I want the glass throne to get followed up on at any point ngl

[summer mural]

thats like..an esoteric astronomican style shot

[crystal forum]

emperor is hot boxing the throne

[storm jungle]

[summer mural]

also that purple skyline could just be the emperor having a bad day or something idk

[storm jungle]

its never gonna lmao

no idea why people are still on about that

[summer mural]

the custodes are probably smoking up behind the throne

[hollow zodiac]

The what throne?

[summer mural]

and producing those purple clouds

[hollow zodiac]

I've never heard of that

[arctic talon]

The glass throne is a different creepy thing

[scenic trout]

The scenes of inside the warp was cool god damn, why cant we have more of that

[arctic talon]

The death specters deal with

[hollow lantern]

Personally? Cause I find it neat. Ik it won't get touched ever again tho lol. Community wide? Probably cause Spectres are a decently popular successor chapter.

[storm jungle]

Personally? Its not neat.

[gleaming gale]

Literally who

[storm jungle]

Stop tying your imperial slop to xenos

🗣️

wait spectres?

who the fuck-

[hollow lantern]

Death Spectres

[storm jungle]

bruh

[crystal forum]

that's a sick ass chapter name

[storm jungle]

who gives a shit about Deaf Spectres

[gleaming gale]

You live in an imperial galaxy, you just didn't find it out yet

[storm jungle]

imperial galaxy
Million worlds

do some math krieg fan

[hollow lantern]

One of my favorites, RG successors

Got popularized cause of the deathwatch omnibus tbh

[crystal forum]

what's their gimmick

stealth?

[hollow lantern]

Uhhhh

Psykers

[storm jungle]

And of course, the poor human whom we saw first as a pilgrim, then a Guardsman, and finally as a corpse. Poor guy. That is a pretty typical fate for a mortal human in Warhammer 40,000 – so if you ever thought “I wonder who I’d be if I was transported to the Dark Millennium?” – odds are it’s that guy, if you’re lucky…

thought the left was a woman ngl

[hollow lantern]

So, the glass throne is this thing they have on their homeworld

[storm jungle]

althoguh the messaging is very funny with this context

[hollow lantern]

Their most powerful psyker sits on it, gets crystallized

[storm jungle]

bro went from twunk to gunk

[hollow lantern]

The librarium iirc leads the chapter

[spring cairn]

the first second i saw the pilgrim i knew he was gonna end up in a guard helmet at some point lmao

[gleaming gale]

Not even Terra is safe from cadian conscription

[crystal forum]

is it like a mini astronomican

[spring cairn]

it's a very obvious but very cool

[storm jungle]

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

😭

Total galaxial cadian saturation???

[hollow lantern]

Thats the parallel yeah, they're also the only chapter watching over the Ghoul Stars after the rest got wrecked

[gleaming gale]

Billions must have purple eyes

[crystal forum]

he's from terra?

[storm jungle]

He is yea, its on his passport

[gleaming gale]

John Terra

[spring cairn]

could've been a no name regiment tbh, they all use cadian gear so whtvr

[arctic talon]

He might be a cadian on pilgrimage

lol

[crystal forum]

oooh ghoul star lore we dont get much of that

[summer mural]

I like that they showed the little space pipelines the tyranids set up to funnel biomass back and forth and it actually pulsing

[storm jungle]

tan undersuit with green armor

its a cadian

hate when people say this lmao

[spring cairn]

cuz it's true

[hollow lantern]

They're cool, one of my favorite SM chapters

[gleaming gale]

Also uh

[storm jungle]

its not

sorry chump

[gleaming gale]

The cadian gate on the pauldron

[spring cairn]

it's generic guard

[hollow lantern]

They have a persistent character in the deathwatch omnibus too

[crystal forum]

terra has some cool unique guard regiments

we dont ever get to see them in 40k

[gleaming gale]

Mostly because they all snore in the barracks

[jade holly]

The Votann were too busy corporatizing to make an appearance

[spring cairn]

they have the one that's the closest to the solar auxilia from 30k right ?

[storm jungle]

also just realised

[jade holly]

Tau didn’t want to be shown in a bad light

[crystal forum]

generations spent walking along the outer golden throne lol

[storm jungle]

the messaging is way more funny with this, the GW guys 100% saw the memes of like "this is where you'd be if you joined the imperium"

[gleaming gale]

Too much

[storm jungle]

gotta fight the Chudtide

[gleaming gale]

Should have shown a toilet servitor

[crystal forum]

they have to remind the space marine fans every so often

[storm jungle]

Real

[storm jungle]

We wouldnt know...

[outer wave]

Oh I didnt know this was the same guy throughout

I thought there hooded figure and the soldier were different people

[hollow zodiac]

The worst part about being plopped into the 42nd millinium is that death isn't even an escape

you literally can only go to hell

I'm sorry, pardon me, Hell

[spring cairn]

surely they're a way to get ur soul obliterated

[outer wave]

Getting your soul eaten by a chaos god does mean an end to your existence

[crystal forum]

i dont remember any that look like auxilia but they have some cool ancient looking dudes that use eugenics

[gleaming gale]

41st* according to GW desperately trying to shove the calendar retcon lol

[hollow zodiac]

oh? I thought we went up a bit, my bad

[rose thorn]

even tjo i dont liek 40k rn starting a new army in 40k must feel so fucking good

[spring cairn]

i think it's a regiment that's not on terra but somewhere in the milky way

jupiter or something i forgot

[gleaming gale]

It's perpetually 900.M41 +- 100 years now

[hollow lantern]

It doesn't

For me anyway

[rose thorn]

like doesnt this picture make you feel joy and whismY?

[spring cairn]

yeah but only cuz it's LoV

[crystal forum]

mag starting you lov army?

[hollow zodiac]

sqwat

[outer wave]

I then look at my wallet to realize that I sold my wallet off and all my cards for these boxes

And realize that this will be my last gift to myself

[rose thorn]

no its from the aos server

[spring cairn]

i don't care about playing tt i only ever bought and painted some models cuz they looked cool

and votann looks very cool to paint and just put on a shelf

[crystal forum]

votaan look very cool

[rose thorn]

none of the tryanid combat patrols have a joyful and whismical aura

it seems

i havent looked in a whie

[crystal forum]

they're flesh eating bug monsters idk

[hollow zodiac]

@solid horizon oh dude btw, turns out I was actually gifted this guy from a friend. I think she gave me like half of a death guard army?

But I'm stealing the other daemon princes for my EC cause I need em

[storm jungle]

yoooo that older nurgle daemon prince mini

[storm jungle]

🗣️

[hollow zodiac]

yee, I thought he was an ogryn the other day lol

[crystal forum]

go my gaunts

[rose thorn]

i thoguht there was a third one

[gleaming gale]

500 gants

[rose thorn]

wierd

[hollow zodiac]

I think my friend said these are the 2000 sculpts??

[hollow lantern]

Nah, I only really care if people invest in armies I want to get more stuff

[hollow zodiac]

So they're gonna be my first big models and I'm ready to fuck one of them up lmao

[rose thorn]

oh yeah this one

another 500 gaunts

[crystal forum]

they learned from the guard

[rose thorn]

this with the old gaunt spam box

wait do the new gaunts have spare bits?

[crystal forum]

why even have this many spam units on such a tiny board

[hollow zodiac]

I'm debating throwing a tyranid box at my homeboy to guilt trip him into starting an army lmao

[spring cairn]

seeing pics of TT games of 40k just makes me want total war 40k more

[hollow zodiac]

cause he's into gunpla so he has everything he needs for building

[hollow zodiac]

idk but the vibes are immaculate

[arctic talon]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Because funny

[rose thorn]

throw them on the ld gaunts to make them feel newer lol

[arctic talon]

Also board control is important

[languid meadow]

The new trailer I couldn't see a flash of nurgle, like I saw khrone, slaanesh, and tzeentch

[crystal forum]

nurgle not getting the spotlight for once

[languid meadow]

Also funny that I think the slaanesh flash was her AoS prison pose?

[spring cairn]

it's kind of a mess at the end but yeah lol

[summer mural]

nurgles getting removed from the setting

[spring cairn]

too much nurgle anyway

he can hang back for a sec

[crystal forum]

i personally want more khorne and tzeentch

[storm jungle]

khorne

👎

stick your Doom daemons somewhere else

[crystal forum]

sad doom guy noises

[storm jungle]

Uh oh, stinky!

[rose thorn]

[summer mural]

sweet sigmar, did yall know the Fenris Kraken can get upto 5 miles long

[spring cairn]

it should've been guard

just sayin

needz the guard, Armageddon too

but then they wouldve had to make SL models uh

Crooks workshop

all the orks are kewl tho

[vagrant fox]

Abnett needs to be caged

[crystal forum]

yarrick but no gazgul

[vagrant fox]

Ghazghkull more like Ghazdrool

[crystal forum]

i guess yarrick will be bossing blood angels around or something

[languid meadow]

Yarrick is now a certified Cadian patriot

[arctic talon]

He’ll still be bossing guard around

lol

Why the fuck do you think that just bcs the starter box has marines in it it will only be marines

I’m going to feed you to the squigs

[crystal forum]

slight overreaction

[spring cairn]

ye the rest will come later

it's just lame that they don't start with guard for vs orks

on armageddon

[vagrant fox]

We only do extremes here, skin Jay as well

[storm jungle]

Yeah, no half-measures

[spring cairn]

we can still do it

just 4 fun

[arctic talon]

A launch box will always have marines in it

So

[spring cairn]

it's up to gw i can strill call it lame af

[languid meadow]

Lunch box

[spring cairn]

if they wanted to they could do guards

[arctic talon]

Guard don’t sell as well

[spare osprey]

I can attest to that.

[vagrant fox]

Jobbers will never sell 💯💯

[arctic talon]

lol

Cruel

[spring cairn]

guar would sell 10 times better if they had red beams for their lasguns in teh trailer instead of yellow boltz just saying........,,

[languid meadow]

Probably because they're fucking expensive for an army and annoying as fuck to paint

[hollow zodiac]

Oh we're not doing this shit again

[spare osprey]

Favorite LGS in town sells a flat zero Guardsmen.
Tanks, yes, but zilch on muh boys.

[languid meadow]

Pretty sure painting a bajillon faces puts people off

[summer mural]

does eldar armor have like special gimmicks

[spring cairn]

i'll die red

and beamy

[arctic talon]

It’s incredibly flexible and protective

[spare osprey]

As will I.

[hollow zodiac]

well at least you'll be dead

[spring cairn]

idgafff

[arctic talon]

It’s as protective as carapace armor or power armor

[summer mural]

like you know the sm get those grav boots and can breathe in space, and auspex etc

[arctic talon]

While being way lighter

And easy to move

[hollow zodiac]

I'm kidding, live long and spiteful

[languid meadow]

It's odd they haven't sold models with the new half mask and goggles they keep probably putting up in every trailer with them

[jade holly]

What even is the Eldar Army rule?

[arctic talon]

It has a HUD, life support and comms in it

[arctic talon]

Battle focus

Formerly strings of fate

Which let you load the dice lol

[jade holly]

So they got to cheat

[arctic talon]

Battle focus lets them move after shooting

[jade holly]

Smh

[arctic talon]

And doing other stuff

[arctic talon]

Well yes they’re one of 3 factions who traditionally get to load the dice

The other 2 are tzeentch stuff and sisters of battle

[vagrant fox]

This is how the Eldar beat the Necrons to sleep

[arctic talon]

Though loading the dice is the iconic sisters of battle rule lol

Battle focus is the iconic eldar one

[crystal forum]

just pray harder

[arctic talon]

Which lets them move shoot move

[spring cairn]

i hope they cook some sick vics for ig this edition

[arctic talon]

And some other stuff

Battle focus is kind of overly complex

But it’s fun

[crystal forum]

i dont think we're getting more than the 2 we got so far

[arctic talon]

That’s 10e

Who knows for 11e

[spring cairn]

that was previous yeah

[arctic talon]

(It’s prolly catachan)

[spring cairn]

fine with any regiment

not cadian even bttr

[storm jungle]

KKKadia no more 👎

[spring cairn]

glory to my beautifully diverse guard

[arctic talon]

It’s gona be Catachan

[rancid cove]

KKKadians everywhere still, the job isn't done

[arctic talon]

Like this edition was dkok

[rancid cove]

ABADDON WHERE'S THAT SECOND BLACKSTONE FORTRESS

[vagrant fox]

I'm gonna be one of those annoying guardheads about Catachan

[languid meadow]

Still hoping for KT guard boxes to be actually interesting and not 2 fucking Cadian boxes again

The aquilons were cool

[arctic talon]

Specter squad are cool tbh

[storm jungle]

no one cares about edgelord squads

[arctic talon]

They’re basically just Tanith

[storm jungle]

GET OUT

[spare osprey]

Ponchos everywhere!

[crystal forum]

scions getting new stuff and elysians being neglected 🙏

[arctic talon]

Just paint them as tanith and they’re done lol

Guy I know who does tanith loves them bcs he can be lazier

[crystal forum]

isnt it a little odd that tanith never got a KT given how popular the books are

[arctic talon]

Eh

Tanith have been “do it yourself” territory forever

Since they’re cadians without the helmets + camoline cloaks

And wooden stocks

And tattoos

[crystal forum]

they'd make a perfect KT tho with the iconic characters

[arctic talon]

Kill team isn’t meant to have named characters

[spring cairn]

they're too iconic for kt tho ?

[arctic talon]

Keep your character slop out of my kill team

lol

[spring cairn]

like u can't have a full kill team of heroes

it doesn't fit

[arctic talon]

^

Kill teams aren’t named characters

If they did tanith they’d be generic

[crystal forum]

what about deathwatch

[languid meadow]

Popularity doesn't matter for most factions and guard isn't one of those factions

[arctic talon]

They aren’t named characters wtf lol

[spare osprey]

Gaunt's box of lads already exists, though?

[arctic talon]

The death watch guys have names in the little story box set

But they’re random generics

Same applies to every kill team

[spring cairn]

chatgpt, generate me a deathwatch marine backstory

[languid meadow]

Cain got a model after 23 years lol tanith is older by 4 they may or may not get one soon

[arctic talon]

They put a name on a squad that’s close to the box and then they die horribly

lol

Tanith has minis already

With gaunt

They’re from 9e

They’re quite new

[spring cairn]

they look p good

[arctic talon]

Also yeah i forgot tanith don’t have shoulder armor

lol

Sue me

[crystal forum]

brostin still being alive or whatever his name is

[spare osprey]

Took my Gaunts Ghost's out of the box and I've been too deep in a sadge binge to paint them.
Or read the damn Omnibus I bought.

[summer mural]

is the cacodominus one of those randomly op monsters that can just pop out of the warp

[spring cairn]

p sure it's the redball demon in doom

thing

[summer mural]

nah

thats the cacodemon

[spring cairn]

cacodeamon

i remeber now

[crystal forum]

tanith are like proto cadians when you think about it right? they also lost their homeworld and never shut up about it

[vagrant fox]

I don't play TT but GW should appeal to me by having 0 named character minis ever, I've decided

[summer mural]

cacodominus was this monster dude who was mind controlling 13000 something planets at once

so the black templars went to war with them

[spring cairn]

so true...

fuck named characters, put ur helmet on king

[summer mural]

when the cacodominus died it let out a death shriek called the howling which offed like a million astropaths and cause like thousands of ships to be lost in the warp

[arctic talon]

Yeah it’s just some random warp creature

[languid meadow]

Reminded me that they ruined Cato again

[arctic talon]

lol

[summer mural]

lmao

[arctic talon]

By making him shave? Yeah

lol

[languid meadow]

Still pissed they didn't let him keep the beard and cool hair

He looks sooo ugly

[summer mural]

good

cato needs a downside apart from " sometimes hes cocky"

[arctic talon]

lol

Looking chopped?

He’s still mega depressed and PTSD ridden

[vagrant fox]

SM should always look chopped, Cato should lead the way

[summer mural]

also what role does cato have now, hes captain of the victrix guard and not captain of the 1st company?

[arctic talon]

Captain of Victrix guard yeah

He’s not an actual captain

He was the company of 2nd company

But Acheran replaced him

[summer mural]

yeah because that guard exists only for guilliman iirc

[arctic talon]

Nah

[summer mural]

and wherever guilliman sends them

[arctic talon]

They’re the UM honor guard

They’ve existed since 3e

[summer mural]

isnt the honor guard part of the first company

[dapper gyro]

Yes

[arctic talon]

Under organization no. In terms of where they usually are yes

[summer mural]

so whos captain of the 1st company

[languid meadow]

You see them in sm2 guarding acharan and then Calgar

[arctic talon]

Aggeman

[summer mural]

yes

[arctic talon]

Or whatever his name is p

I forgot

[dapper gyro]

Cato was temporary the captain of the UM 2nd because there was no one else to take that duty at that time.

[arctic talon]

He’s been around since 3e

[arctic talon]

They’re the only not new new aspect warrior so yeah

Aside from the poor poor shadow specters

[vagrant fox]

Agemman yeah or whatever his name is

[summer mural]

i thought guilliman created a special honor guard and put cato in charge of it which is seperate from agemmans 1st company

[arctic talon]

No

[languid meadow]

Love how tau, deldar, and votann weren't in the trailer (unless I missed em)

[summer mural]

I see

[languid meadow]

Death to chaos

[arctic talon]

The honor guard got reorganized and renamed

To victrix

Under Cato

But they’re been around since forever

[summer mural]

the moustache helmet bros

so cato is part of the 1st company?

[arctic talon]

No

Honor guard exist outside of the companies

Under the codex astartes

[summer mural]

oh right

so does the um 1st company have like a gimmick

[arctic talon]

They’re just the first company

[summer mural]

like are the best terminators in there or something

[arctic talon]

The best of the best

[summer mural]

fair enough

[arctic talon]

Tyrannic war vets

I guess

They have an extra 20 boomers

Who are really good at murdering nids

And teach other UM how to murder them good

But the UM first company is very normal

They like rocket launchers on terminators I guess

[summer mural]

i have mixed feelings on the victrix faceplates

on one hand, I like that the honor guard is visually distinct

on the other hand, those faceplates look like gold moustaches

[arctic talon]

Not all of them have it

Lore wise

[summer mural]

yeah ik

[arctic talon]

And mini as well now

[summer mural]

theres even that pic where not all of them have it

[winged jacinth]

I think they're supposed to be eagle faces but they're so flat they look like owls lol

[summer mural]

but only they get to have it, its exclusive to them afaik

[hollow lantern]

Hey, what exactly are the 5 rusting spires loner alludes to?

[arctic talon]

Glup shittos

[arctic talon]

Might be the hive spires

[solid horizon]

Epic, those are quite rare nowadays

[summer mural]

they look like staches to me

[vagrant fox]

Looks cool tho

[arctic talon]

Captains also get it sometimes

[hollow lantern]

It sounds heretical but yk, that's cause it's loner

[summer mural]

but are supposed to be eagle wings I guess

[arctic talon]

Tbh it might be something they saw in the warp lmao

[hollow lantern]

That's what I'm thinking

[arctic talon]

It sounds ominous

Whatever the hell it is

[hollow lantern]

Right?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[summer mural]

yeah captains seem to be generally aesthetically free, they can wear whatever

[arctic talon]

Live emperor reaction

[hollow lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/the-master-fallout-fallout1-gif-25672301

[vagrant fox]

Pretty good teeth on him, mostly

[summer mural]

the custodians are a meticulous breed

they polish those teeth with microscopic needles or something

and toothpaste made from the blood of babies or something

I feel like the maintenance of the emperors corpse is just ripe for a comedy sketch situation

like somebody accidentally breaks a finger or something

then in trying to fix they toss it down the stairs

[tough haven]

Duuude, captain's gonna be so pissed

[hollow zodiac]

Y'know, if I was the emperor I'd be less pissed about being on the golden throne for 10k years and more pissed about being on public display in what is probably the least flattering way possible

I would psychically choke out custodians for letting that happen

[summer mural]

well hes literally needed to keep the imperium afloat

they use his psychic energy to navigate the warp

and sacrifice a 1000 souls to him everyday lol

[hollow zodiac]

That's not what I'm saying?

[summer mural]

the massive monument hes plastered on is what keeps him alive

[tough haven]

https://youtu.be/l0hD3KBwoiA?si=AAyodkedLliASqwG

Shit looks awesome

[summer mural]

its not open to public display

[tough haven]

Its not public

nobody gets to see this

[summer mural]

only the custodes and the maintenance guys can see it

[tough haven]

His condition is kept secret

[summer mural]

and whomever gets to have a special meeting or something idk

[tough haven]

besides that hes on the golden throne eternally

but nobody wants to know hes a rotting corpse

[hollow zodiac]

Oh I feel like I've seen pictures of the pilgrims in front of the golden throne, I thought he was just there for everyone to see lol

[summer mural]

not anymore afaik

[hollow zodiac]

Cause boy howdy would the warp storms flare tf up if that was the case

[tough haven]

I think they may be able to go to a shrine thats a cleaned up idea of it

Maybe initially you could

but not atm

[summer mural]

also, the emperors not got a single appearance on the throne either, even the trailer has multiple different flashes of him on the throne, in godblight, guilliman, whos actually hung out with daddy in the flesh says the corpse on the throne keeps changing appearance

[tough haven]

Security is so stringent I think you would likely be killed for just looking at it

[hollow zodiac]

Wasn't he always like that though?

isn't that just a thing big e does where his appearence is never consistent?

[summer mural]

in corpse form I meant

so like sometimes hes a skelly

sometimes hes zombie with eyepatch

etc

[hollow zodiac]

That's sick that it keeps up even in "death"

[languid meadow]

This reminded me that phosphor is blueish white in DoW4 and darktide for some reason

But just white here and in M2

[storm jungle]

bad animators

[summer mural]

is that a kastellan

[storm jungle]

ignore it

[hollow zodiac]

makes the "writhing with power" a smidge more literal

[summer mural]

it looks a bit smol for a kastelan

baby kastelan

[storm jungle]

small

[summer mural]

maybe its just the image

[storm jungle]

do you even know how big a kastellan is

[rancid cove]

integration reached with diplomacy

shon...

[storm jungle]

also its literlaly leaning forward to fire

[summer mural]

its as big as that one guy in that episode where the priests kills that one guard to harvest his arms or something

[storm jungle]

leg

also fake fan, get rid of this guy

[languid meadow]

Also the kast is a cool mix of the two

I prefer it that way tbh

[summer mural]

"YAAAYY IM THE LAST SURVIVOR AND I FOUND AN ALLY WITH A KILLER ROBOT"
" Gimme your leg, your life is over"

[languid meadow]

Big fists with phosphor blaster

[summer mural]

i hope theres a hamster running in a wheel behind the kastellans helmet

you know, to power it.

[storm jungle]

[dapper gyro]

And it is a mechanized hamster that also needs to be powered.

[spare osprey]

Hope the mech-hamster is powered by an even smaller hampter.

[summer mural]

where do souls of like

regular hoomies go in 40k

assuming they didnt get cursed or sign some nasty contract

[spare osprey]

Da' Warp.

[rocky gale]

They join the sea of souls in the Warp

[summer mural]

so is the sea of souls like a neutral place

[arctic talon]

It was

lol

[summer mural]

"was"

[arctic talon]

The sea of souls is the original name for the warp

Now it’s still called that sometimes

But the necrons fucked it all up

[storm jungle]

its just the Warp

its always been the Warp

the sea of souls is just a nickname lol

[summer mural]

is it hell though, by default

or is it like a place where the souls just randomly float around as magic jamba juice or something

[storm jungle]

They float then dissipate to nothingness or get eaten by demons

[summer mural]

like if you fall and break your neck, are you condemned to a hellish afterlife

[storm jungle]

They float then dissipate to nothingness or get eaten by demons

Same thing

[summer mural]

fair enough

[storm jungle]

the Warp is an endless stretch

theres literally anything and everybody over there

if you're a psyker you'll suffer more and get eaten longer

[arctic talon]

They even got crocodiles in it

[storm jungle]

🐊 "You should build a bomb."

[rocky gale]

A writing sea of souls, that's got fish in it

[rancid cove]

is there mentions of beings that arent specifically daemons that live inside the warp? and like, prey on either souls or just ships that go through it

[summer mural]

so the 1000 psykers that get sent to the emprah, their souls dont go the warp right, the emprah snacks on them

[rocky gale]

https://klipy.com/gifs/brinasgift-1

[spare osprey]

Warp-spoiders.

[rocky gale]

Yes

[summer mural]

yeah that cacodominus guy and others

[rancid cove]

cool

[arctic talon]

Yeah

[tough haven]

then the nids snack on the emperor, circle of life

[arctic talon]

There’s wasps

In the warp

That lay eggs in your brain

If you’re a psyker

And then they eat your brain and hatch from your mind

[rocky gale]

Tons of things like Vampyre's and Enslavers

[tough haven]

Unless Trazyn jumps in and saves him for his collection, since he's a limited model

[flat nimbus]

don’t worry though, that won’t happen to me
today, at least

[summer mural]

also is there some metaphysical warp related reason someone gets access to psyker powers or is it that you just randomly get a connection to the warp

[arctic talon]

It’s random

It’s called a “gene”

Sometimes

But it’s not really that

[flat nimbus]

yeah, it’s not the same as Mass Effect Biotics or The Force with a ‘biological’ basis

Psykers just happen

[arctic talon]

Unless you’re craftworld eldar

Then you’re all psykers

And it’s luck of the draw who is stronger

[summer mural]

i assume its like some xmen thing, your just born with a mutation

[flat nimbus]

seemingly in part because humanity are already warp-attuned

[tough haven]

Unless you pull a drukhari

[arctic talon]

Well yeah

I said craftworld eldar

Not eldar

[dapper gyro]

Nah, all human has it, it is just about if you can active it or not.

For most humanity in 40K, they can't.

[arctic talon]

Humans are all very lightly psychically active except for blanks

But it’s not like cwe where all of them can shoot lightning without resorting to sorcery

[vagrant fox]

What's that not datasmith doing there

[summer mural]

the eldar dont run the paranoia thing wheres the risk of everyone turning into chaos spawn or randomly detonating

?

[arctic talon]

Keeping them in charge

[dapper gyro]

Blank is just a different kind of warp magic to be honest.

[arctic talon]

No, they’re properly atuned and trained

They have runes as well

To catch overloading

[dapper gyro]

Some of the feats are about the same as using lighting from hands.

[arctic talon]

And to spread out the “perils”

[vagrant fox]

I feel like this is a breach of protocol and that priest should be stripped of all their augments

[flat nimbus]

meanwhile humanity are culturally indoctrinated to be scared of Warp Powers already

[arctic talon]

Yeah

The human mindset about warp powers does not help psyker stability

But craftworld eldar have a bunch of equipment to not explode

[summer mural]

yeah they get pretty nasty treatment

[arctic talon]

When using psychic powers

[flat nimbus]

so, it’s a feedback loop of ‘bad shit happens, people get more worried about bad shit happening, and so more bad shit happens’

[arctic talon]

Discharge runes that can store excess juice

Helmets that can seal the mind from whispers

Ect.

[flat nimbus]

Eldar helmets are fun

[arctic talon]

All that along with a ton of training and as a race being very in tune with the warp

[summer mural]

is there even a human psyker character thats popular and a big deal but is not an inquisitor

[arctic talon]

Lets them not explode

Or mutate

[arctic talon]

Mephiston

[summer mural]

and not a sm

ofc

[arctic talon]

Then no

[rocky gale]

Biotics in Mass Effect aren't genetic, it's caused by Eezo exposure

[arctic talon]

People liked the primaris psyker from the latest book

I forgot her name and the books name

Witchseeker?

Witchfinder?

Something like that

[rocky gale]

Glavia Araand?

[arctic talon]

Yeah

I think

[rancid cove]

Dilara?

[arctic talon]

No

[rocky gale]

Glavia Aerand

[summer mural]

and i dont mean popular like beloved, I mean just you know, an established recurring character thats just a non marine non inquisitor human psyker, like the equivalent would be some of the famous guardsmen characters

[flat nimbus]

yeah, I just meant there’s no ‘trigger’ like Ele-0 exposure, it just happens

[arctic talon]

She’s fun

[arctic talon]

Yeah no

We’ve never had a named primaris psyker mini

We might get one

Eventually

[flat nimbus]

40k writing in general doesn’t tend towards a lot of ‘recurring’ characters who aren’t, y’know, BIG DEALS (so basically some level of inquisition asset or other degree of authority)
