Yeah
There was one other organisation that had remained distanced from the activities of Vandire and the High Lords, although they were at the heart of his domain. The Adeptus Custodes had maintained their vigil over the body of the Emperor, but had closed themselves off for protection. It was only when the Space Marines and Adeptus Mechanicus moved on the Imperial Palace that the Custodes learned of the full extent of Vandire's treachery. They had secret meetings with Space Marine commanders and advised the Space Marines to continue their attack while they would do what they could.
The defences were nothing to the Adeptus Custodes, as they knew every pathway and hidden passage in the building and a small unit led by Longinus{Fn|2}} of the Companions under infiltrated the palace, emerging close to the inner sanctum of Vandire. There, the Centurion met with a unit of the Brides of the Emperor and attempted to show them that they were fighting for evil, not the good of the Imperium. The Brides were not to be swayed however, and the Centurion had to find another way to persuade them. Eventually the Centurion came up with a plan and, leaving his men as hostages, led the leader of the Brides of the Emperor away into the tunnels under the palace. No record exists of what happened there, but it is commonly believed he led her to the Golden Throne of the Emperor himself, and upon seeing his blessed form came to realize the truth in the matter. It is a matter of record that after whatever may or may not have occurred with the Centurion, the leader of the Brides personally executed the traitor Vandire.

Lucius is in a lame spot because gw/authors seems to like the idea of him taking over people's bodies more than him being one of the best duelists, probably because there are already tons of other people used to tell good stories about duels
I actually like the story often complained about, where he gets put in the body of a mineworker because he blew up a mine

Because it's a great example that chaos doesn't follow even its own rules, that Slaanesh has a great sense of humor, and lucius being disgusted that a mine fabricator would have the audacity to take pride in his own work

Exterminatus isn't a single weapon afaik, it's just the term for the *FUCK THIS ...
Yea, i just summarized the combination of death rays that burns a planet as "Exterminatus"
In Starcraft they kinda did the same in Mar Sara, but with Nukes, lets say one nuke got "X" amount of km of range, and Mengsk throw one each "x" amount of km, leaving almost no place intact.
I think they did the same in Tarsonis
Im a SC nerd, leave me be :,v

just the important parts, aka the memory center etc

If they could learn everything then the Dark Angels would have solved the problem of The Fallen long ago

I fucking love this franchise.

Space Marines can also spit acid, but I can't remember the last time that was used
gentle aurora
It’s commonplace enough that it’s actually become a ritual for certain chapters. (See: Blood Drinkers, Flesh Tearers, etc.)
mint hill
there's a list of what all the augumentations space marines get and what they all do somewhere.
gentle aurora
It’s on the wiki.
gentle aurora
Most of them are things you’d expect, things like “increased muscle mass, increased bone density, more efficiently oxygen transport in the bloodflow” and then there’s wacky shit like “acid spit to chew food that isn’t meant to be chewed, radiation shielding for the skin, a stomach that can digest anything and determine if it’s poisonous to normal humans or not.”
final spruce
The belcher gland tends to malfunction alot depending of the chapters
That's why its rarely used
storm jungle
Naah
im pretty sure its just the authors forgetting it
I like it though, it actually makes it great when a space marine rarely uses it and it makes you go "oh shit!"
final spruce
I think there is easily 4-5 founding chapters with a belcher gland issue
quartz magnet
We all know Space Marines are made on Mars by Cawl

Zoomer ones yes
storm jungle
Zher no!
quartz magnet
Some of those Marines are older than Firstborne xD

Some walked with their Primarchs 🙂

That's interesting

Yeah I like the idea that there's Primaris Marines that tell stories to the Firstborn about the Horus Heresy

Zoomer marines: I sleep
Boomer marines: Real shit

I am new to 40k - the character with the helmet, that looks like a "mini spacemarine" for lack of a better description is what type of class/character?
rotund siren
with the lasgun or the power sword?
rotund siren
because the one with the lasgun and the gas mask is either a guardsman in hazard equipment or a kasrkin/stormtrooper, depending on who you ask
yeah
loud forge
Ok thank you
rotund siren
no problem, happy to help
cerulean wagon
@loud forge thats an imperial guardsman yeah
basically a standard human with a lasgun
but he's a fully trained soldier
loud forge
Sweet. IMO he is the coolest, so I just wanted some info so I could do some of my own research.
Thank you.
cerulean wagon
The leader of a squad of imperial guard, they tend to lean more towards melee and orders instead of specialist fire arms
so you'd be looking at something like merc kruber i guess
who can lead and inspire
rotund siren
alright
so like what people want with a commissar
err
like what people want a commissar to do*
cerulean wagon
Yeah pretty much
pastel schooner
well, according to what Comissars do
inspiration and shooting guardsman in the back of the head with a Bolt Pistol
cerulean wagon
The shooting thing is more a meme than anything else
rotund siren
according to memes, sure
cerulean wagon
happens a lot less in fluff then in memes and tabletop
dawn pawn
Also depends on the commissar
copper copper
Sarges typically do also have at least a form of short-range communications device, because they need to well receive and give out orders
dawn pawn
Some are cool and don’t shoot their men like Caiphus Cain or the hero of Armageddon
cerulean wagon
Hense the headset she is wearing
crisp heath
a sergeant is basically the same as a sergeant in the army; a commissar is from a separate branch of the imperial guard and is there to ensure morale and obedience remains high and guardsmen neither desert nor turn to heresy
dawn pawn
A sergeant is from the astra militarum, a commissar comes from the commissariat
crisp heath
commissars that are too trigger-happy towards their own troops usually disappear in undisclosed circumstances and no one is too bothered to look into it.
cerulean wagon
I highly doubt we will see a commissar, as it would require it to be a criminal commissar which is rather rare
copper copper
Commissars are political officers attached to regiments in order to keep discipline and weed out cowardice
They are raised up by the bloody Schola Progenia, you hardly get the criminal type from there
rotund siren
Thanks for the help, Fly Larva
copper copper
Yes
crisp heath
there are commissars attached to penal legions, but not as criminals themselves
but to keep shit going in accordance with the rules
copper copper
They also occasionally function as liasons when regiments from very different backgrounds are put together. Cultural and ideological differences. Basically helping two regiments not frag eachother.
storm jungle
Commissars are political officers attached to regiments in order to keep discipl...
Sorry I almost thought of a commissar handing out weed to the troops
I need to get some sleep lol
i cant read anymore
crisp heath
savlar chem dogs probably have better shit than that
storm jungle
Commissar Snoop disagrees
copper copper
Hah
storm jungle
copper copper
To be honest, I could imagine a chem-dogs commissar doing that
To "enhance their faith in the Emperor"
Not sure if this has been discussed, but it had actually slipped my mind entirely that reflex/holo sights existed in the Imperium.
copper copper
I guess I should have expected it because they are rather simple to make
copper copper
It really is kinda like the mechanism for a lasgun just really shrunken down. You got a battery, a focusing crystal in some cases, and something to shine light into the crystal
rotund siren
ok, but, what is that weird red ball of fog?
dawn pawn
I mean it makes sense they can make it but like
You never see them, probably because it would cost too much to arm an entire regiment with them
copper copper
I'm assuming a person, I believe the character had thrown a grenade before pulling up the lasgun
copper copper
Or at least that cloud was a person
rotund siren
lol
dawn pawn
Probably a krak grenade
copper copper
Maybe
cerulean wagon
it does seem to be an impact grenade
copper copper
But yeah, such a small detail. Piticanny rails still bloody exist, no surprise there.
I suppose it would make sense that someone "employed" by an inquisitor might have access to a reflex sight.
misty blaze
Not sure if this has been discussed, but it had actually slipped my mind entirel...
There's another gameplay trailer ?
copper copper
Absorbent wealth and influence can get you alot
Just the one
Only one gameplay trailer as far as I know
dawn pawn
Okay I thought that just the one was for the reflex sight
And honestly if it was just a fucking piece of archeotech
copper copper
It seems to have a gothic style arch for its design, so it could very well be full on Imperial tech
Haha, design motifs
Slightly pointed at the top of the sight
dawn pawn
What I’m interested to know is that since we’re getting autoguns, will the ogryn get a Stubba?
dawn pawn
Just hope we can make a bullgryn loadout
copper copper
Potentially, all we've seen so far in terms of guns is that shotgun/launcher weapon. Reminds me of a short but bulky M79 grenade launcher, but with a 40mm buckshot shell
Which those do exist
Guns for the ogryn that is
dry apex
They purposely shaped the holosight like a gothic-era arch too, good stuff, now we've got cathedral windows on our guns too
copper copper
Yes
We got flashlights on our flashlights, and a literal miniature version of our weapon's firing mechanism to see through on top
It's flashlight-ception
copper copper
How to increase the power of your lasgun by 3x
dry apex
Actually, now that I think about it, I'm surprised there isn't a triple-barreled hellgun or something
Just, youknow, 40k-esque excessiveness
copper copper
I'm sure there is
Got an entire galaxy to put it in
I mean, literal flintlock lasguns exist
dry apex
Dude holy shit
copper copper
I could imagine a multi-las emplacement that has a similar thing going on as Fallout 4's automatic laser guns. Several barrels each with their own focusing crystal.
cerulean wagon
it basically only exists in an old RPG rulebook
copper copper
Speaking of multi-las, have the ogryn just lug one of those around
cerulean wagon
It's possible
copper copper
He's a big guy. As for power, one of those backpack powerpacks or two should do. Might be a techpriest's nightmare but hey, relationship between the Mechanicus and Inquisition is rocky anyways.
dry apex
The relationship between the Mechanicus and everyone is always rocky
lets not kid ourselves 🤔
copper copper
This is true, even those you'd expect them to get along with actually don't like 'em too much
storm jungle
The relationship between the Mechanicus and everyone is always rocky
Let me fix that
The relationship between the [Insert Imperial Faction here] and everyone is always rocky
👌
rotund siren
haha, true
even the administratum dislikes other factions
and they have to deal with basically all Imperium factions
copper copper
Bureaucrats that don't like doing their jobs, but it's all they know how to
rotund siren
yep
late yew
The only factions that prolly like each other in the imperium is the custodies and sisters of battle
Cause the sisters only serve the emperor
wide jewel
the salamanders and all other imperial factions
final spruce
Not even there
Custodes consider SoB fanatics
Custodes get along with Sisters of Silence
primal tide
Ship em, boys
barren tapir
Custodes get along with Sisters of Silence
This, they know that SoS are BAE
celest dome
They are Blank but they still are friendly with them, which is very impressive
crisp heath
well and who the fuck likes the administratum? you need a form to fill out the form
final spruce
In Watchers of the Throne, you learn that the Custodes have been stuck in the palace ebtween themselves for 10k years
crisp heath
it's basically a galaxy-wide case of the mad office from asterix
final spruce
They are all depressed at some point
And then the SoS are introduced to them and adding new people with new ideas and points of views gets them off their asses
Its one of the better books of 40k
final spruce
In my humble opinion
barren tapir
Some SoS were collected by the captain general trajan valoris before the great rift, wise move as the SoS were the best tool aganist warp entities, sadly he didn't managed to get many
Also SoS are one of the only two forces that can walk freely walk the imperial palace... The other one are the custodes... Not even the inquisition can walk freely into the palace
primal tide
They don't need a hall pass to go make out under the bleachers
Is what you're saying

livid dove
so guys do you think the flamer guy from the old steam art is gonna be the 5th playable character?
rotund siren
maybe
placid sable
hopefully a special weapons gunner
livid dove
i think the flamer guy on the cover looks too different from the 4 we saw in the gameplay trailer to be a career option
sooo
im like 90% sure hes the 5th guy
rotund siren
and who's the cloaked person with the shock staff, I wonder?
final spruce
Sorry Harold
Flamer person on the cover is from the Minsitorum
Most likely a career for our smoll missionnary/ priest / acolyte
final spruce
Wacky ... I like what you did there
rotund siren
ahhh, that's a good one
placid sable
I'm hoping for a sanctioned Pysker, you know, for fun
livid dove
if theres a 5th dude a psyker definitely seems the most likely
now that i think about it
rotund siren
the staff could be a force staff, for sure
livid dove
the way sienna has to limit her magic use or else she overheats seems similar to how psykers gotta limit themselves so i think we might be seeing a psyker guy
rotund siren
yeah, I've seen a lot of people compare em
I think it's likely
It is 40k, after all
final spruce
I hope so, guardsmen use psykers
rotund siren
pyskers are, like, the 4th most iconic thing about it
final spruce
Between the navigators, the astropaths, the Primaris psykers
The wyrdane psykers
Yeah IG had the OG primaris !
placid sable
stay away from the psyker tent at night
distrust the witch kin
they probably don't wash their hands
rotund siren
what are you, a feral worlder?
placid sable
I mean, it's a very common term for them
placid sable
probably replace the I with the Y
this is the problem with 30+ years of lore, there is, a lot.
jovial eagle
Just an interesting thing to note about that Ogyrn, because his is part of an inquisitor's retinue, he techically outranks a commissar
odd sparrow
Tell Ungbung this fact and I will promptly execute you.
