Never forget, the Rangdan are fox furries
WHAT
crisp heath
like how do ppl celebrate and shit
storm jungle
arent they never described in lore tho
open marsh
the what?
The xenos who fought the Imperium during the worst conflict they suffered until the Horus Heresy
open marsh
arent they never described in lore tho
They are in the newest HH black book
storm jungle
has anyone read about what's actually done on sanguinala btw
most info people have gathered and guess are here
distant harness
isn't sanguinala just mentioned in one article?
plush mason
They are in the newest HH black book
you got a link for it?

Until then. Im happy to blow peoples mind little by little

incredible

consider my mind also blown

So introducing furries just to delete them on the spot ? That's very 40k
distant harness
the thirst for catgirls just can't be quenched
storm jungle
Yeeee the imperium krumped em
atomic pelican
💦
distant harness
and yeah they're pretty gone, though wouldn't be surprised if they bring them back to some degree eventually
final spruce
I mean, are they even mentionned in any less than 10 y old source ?
Or are felinids just another relic of the past ?
crisp heath
the emperor has the answer to all your problems
usually they go along the lines of 'xenocide'
plush mason
the fact a race of fox people pushed the imperium's shit in makes me very happy
open marsh

Where is it said the Rangda were totally wiped out?

May have just run them off instead of wiping them out. Like the Tallerian dog soldiers. even with the destruction of their homeworld, the dog soldiers are still around
distant harness
They were genociding their unfounded prejudice against each other

Of Course™️

peace was successfully achieved

From the 8th edition codex

I just did. Seriously though dont tempt me lol
open marsh
Also, apparently the Dark Angels kept alot of the weapons of the Rangda
crisp heath
the creators are both really bad people

Flashgitz does make some absolutely cursed content

its also just that furries are strangely polarizing for a lot of people

are there no furry races among the alien empire?

no worries just saying so it doesnt get hectic!
final spruce
That's because we got space potato bears
open marsh
Physically, Nicassars have ivory hair-quills and stubby, clawed limbs. They possess no eyes, instead sensing their surroundings with psychic abilities generated by glands in their avian skulls.
atomic pelican
oo
rotund siren
what?
storm jungle
wait didnt the tau also have like
giant flying fox friends
i saw a pic of it on 4chan as fanart lol
@open marsh WISDOM PLS
storm jungle
Dangit thats true let me see
open marsh
giant flying fox friends
I think those are artistic renditions of the Nicassar. But with bad info
open marsh
I think people thought they were bears because of their hibernation cycles
rotund siren
imagine being unknowledgeable on the number of hibernating creatures, believing only bears hibernate

Wouldn't make a great wojtek

yes
open marsh
Rangda had battle moons
rotund siren
you saying they had death stars?
open marsh
rotund siren
DAMN
plush mason
damn these Rangda sound a lot like my Stelarius custom race lol
open marsh
Over all, seems the wars against the Rangda cost the lives of 80,000 Astartes
open marsh
They dead
plush mason
they where wipedout in this war
open marsh
But damn did they refuse to go out without a fight
open marsh
Fox bois knew how to scrap
oh
I may have found a small hint to the fate of one of the lost legion
open marsh
Me thinks the Rangda really did manage to kill one of the missing Primarchs
final spruce
I'm surprised GW gave them that amount of threat
Atleast everyone is getting representation
open marsh
must've been some older lore
This is coming from the newest HH black book
final spruce
Old Horus Heresy lore I guess
rotund siren
WOAH
final spruce
GW did they this january we'd get a codex for all the minor xenos
atomic pelican
Nice
rotund siren
ooooooooooo
open marsh
Also, maybe a concidence, but there is a race allied with the Tau called the Ranghon
final spruce
The Tau get all the minor races like that for representation
They even got the squat replacement
rotund siren
really?
atomic pelican
Demiurg responding
atomic pelican
Yeeees

I love their bigass mining laser in Gothic Armada
rotund siren
that is nuts
open marsh
Yeah really emphasizes the threat they were
Oh @atomic pelican There is a depiction of a Tallerian Dog Soldier
atomic pelican
Nicee
rotund siren
why are they called Dog Soldiers?
open marsh
why are they called Dog Soldiers?
Their long, toothed, skulls
open marsh
A name the imperium came up with
Also they really REALLY hate the Imperium. Because the Imperium blew up all their colonized worlds
open marsh
If they ever made a Great Crusade game, or brought the Rangda back. We could have lizardmen vs foxmen battles
rotund siren
if they ever made a Great Crusade game, it would be you playing as a Space Marine, killing all the bad evil xenos
mint hill
it'd take like, 2000 years to beat.
serene eagle
Hey what's the funniest writer fuckups in 40k you've ever seen?
Stuff like 'the chaos dreadnought killed an ENTIRE PLATOON of guardsmen' as if that's an accomplishment
distant harness
it will always be the world eater punching barehanded through power armour for me
just for how obviously stupid it is even at a glance, while others require a bit more knowledge about shit
scenic bolt
wasn't that incident a custodes to boot?
celest dome
So it would be Auramite ? Barehanded ? Was the WE greatly blessed by a greater demon ?
distant harness
It was a custodes, yeah
though I think they just had fancy standard power armour at that point tbf, don't think it mentions auramite
not that the gap between ceramite and auramite is probably even relevant when you're comparing to flesh and bone though
open marsh
Custodes have had auramite armour since atleast the late Unification Wars
celest dome
I think @distant harness mean that in older lore Auramite didn't really exist
Like in older Edition
open marsh
Oh okay
distant harness
it's just not mentioned in the scene, I don't know if it was canon overall or not
I'm pretty sure he snapped the guardian spear with his bare hands as well, to add to the stupidity
found the scene
not the whole thing, but the relevant parts
knotty cove
That's one of the biggest reasons I fucking hate that book.
distant harness
It's just not a terribly good book in general honestly, I'm fairly sure it gets some timeline shit pretty wrong too
open marsh
When was this released
oh 2011
no Auramite existed in the lore by then
Mentioned in the HH series atleast by 2010 (in the First Heretic novel)
distant harness
Just adds to reasons the scene is dumb then lmao, if the custodes isn't even wearing the right armour
distant harness
Listen, he just wasn't paying attention or something, so it works
distant harness
the man with the cardboard armour dodging plasma and shit like a paragraph later doesn't count
knotty cove
Shitty book all around.
distant harness
definitely, I just didn't think it was written well at all, even without the shit lore
it's fairly pointless in the overall story, pretty clunky writing in a lot of places, gets basic shit wrong about the setting
open marsh
Just adds to reasons the scene is dumb then lmao, if the custodes isn't even wea...
I just take it as a reason to completely disregard that part of the lore.
Its like it has a Thunder Warrior spit acid like he has a betcher's gland. When in Dreams of Unity, its confirmed that Thunder Warriors do not have betcher's glands
distant harness
yeah it's one of those books I think people tend to just ignore
open marsh
I did like most of its depiction of Thunder Warriors otherwise. Like just how OP they are even compared to Astartes
knotty cove
Mhm.
open marsh
I also hope that the Arik Tanis did figure out how to stabalize the Thunder Warriors gene enhancement, and somewhere. Deep within terra, there is a warband of Thunder Warriors even to this day
open marsh
Also, did you know that some Thunder Warriors may have been converted into Astartes?
Endryd Haar, World Eater, was noted as being stronger,and faster than normal for an Astartes. As had scarring consistent with an unusually late black carapace implantation. He also had a Raptor Imperialis / thunder tatoo and when asked, mentioned that all his brothers had them
Autek Mor, of the Iron Hands is another suspected Thunder Warrior
And it would explain how Arik Tanis knew that Astartes geneseed implants could stabalize him and his Thunder Warriors
pearl sail
I have heard that some people grumble that those grimderp moments were part of what made the original wh40k lore so unique, as opposed to the direction it's going now. Any thoughts on that?
I must say, some things were over the top and nonsensical in the past.
pearl sail
Yeah, the last couple of messages in #darktide-memes
thick shadow
Are those things are being gone in recent lore?
open marsh
Its ones like the Custodes turning on the Primaris because some of the firstborn of their chapter (who they have never even met) turned traitor.
Its like if your older brother, who was born to a different mom, on the otherside of the world, and you have never met them, murdered someone. So they execute you
Because the guy they sent to escort you to meet your brother for the first time secretly hated you
thick shadow
Oh, I remember that
pearl sail
An example of a silent retcon are the Khornate knights. TLDR old lore says grey knights slaughtered sisters of battle on a monastery world to sanctify their armour (during a full blown chaos incursion)), new lore says the sisters died protecting the grey knights.
thick shadow
Brazen Drakes or something
open marsh

Personally thats an improvement
pearl sail
Yes, yes it is
open marsh
Because that was just "what?"
thick shadow

That "old" lore is made in Matt Ward's era
The more old lore didn't had lkke that bullshits
pearl sail
The brazen drakes thing was quite derp indeed. Why did these new recruits have such loyalty to a chapter they never met, why did the custodes need to flex his authority?
open marsh

And the kicker was, they were right to say they should be deployed to reinforce the Firstborn who had remained loyal. Because if they had, they would have ended the rebellion then and there
potent swift
I remember that story, that was meme inquisitor levels of hair trigger violence.
pearl sail
Another example I found on 1d4chan of grimderp: "The Grey Knights (who seem to get this a lot, really) equipment and how it is made. Specifically, every bolt shell that the Grey Knights use is consecrated by the blood sacrifice of a righteous man or woman in a borderline Khornate ritual (and it has to be a good person, not just anyone. How the Imperium determines if someone is sufficiently "good" or not remains an open question). Those Aegis armors? Made from thousands of psykers (including children) burned in a furnace to channel their power to the armor. Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people have to die to make one Grey Knight combat-effective. This has caused a lot of skub as to whether it is grimderp or not, as it raises the question of where the Grey Knights find enough good people to consecrate all of the bolter rounds they go through every battle (especially in the 41st millenium, of all places)."
open marsh
Another example I found on 1d4chan of grimderp: "The Grey Knights (who seem to g...
Personally, with the retcon of the Khornite Grey Knights, I feel those rituals are retconned too
thick shadow
We REALLY hated those
And I still hate those changes
pearl sail
Yeah, I can imagine.
thick shadow
If GW removing like these dumb shits. It's they rather trying to more older days.
pearl sail
Well, unlike the prior 20 years, they have shifted the story a bit in the last couple of years. I just feel that primaris marines are a ploy to phase out old marines. I hope that doesn't happen to chaos marines.
open marsh

Well its a strange place with the Primaris. Originally they werent even supposed to be in 40k
They were developed for a sequel game, that was to be to 40k what 40k is to Horus Heresy
potent swift
They were developed for a sequel game, that was to be to 40k what 40k is to Horu...
Wait, what?
open marsh
They called it "The Game That Never Was"
pearl sail
Ah, 50k or something?
open marsh
Basically it was gonna be the AoS of 40k, but instead of rebooting it, they were gonna do a large timeskip
The Imperium had become more stabalized, even advanced in tech finally. The Eldar had reunited (the Ynnari) and defeated Slaanesh.
etc
pearl sail
Well, glad I switched over to (D)Eldar and CSM. I doubt they will have miniature/rule bloat any time soon.
open marsh
But then AoS blew up their faces and they go rid of their old CEO. The new one hit the brakes on that idea hard
But they had already made and modeled molds
Of the Space Marines and Ynnari models
pearl sail
AoS is doing allright now, though?
pearl sail
Start sure was shaky, that was certain. No one wanted the old world to die.
crisp heath
I heard primaris were supposed to be more of a model update
pearl sail
Truescale marines
pearl sail
Good thing they didn't do the timeskip.
half gull
yeah they have been backpedaling on that a lot
atomic pelican
40k certainly has a interesting future ahead of it
Seems they want to change up things
A slow change seems likely
thick shadow
My favorite era is probably 4th and 5th editions, I think.
Still wish they just did an model update than "new marines"
atomic pelican
Yeeah alot of older lines rlly need it
Craftworlds being probs the most talked abt example
primal tide
They kinda did a timeskip, just backwards lul
By retconning the indomitus crusade dark imperium plotline timeframe
thick shadow
And I wish and hope they do not reveal the "exact numbers". Those "blah mm", "blah per minute", "something km/s". These are should be remain "unknown".
Just use "fast", "strong".
primal tide
How many legs do primaris have
"A couple"
thick shadow
potent swift
And I wish and hope they do not reveal the "exact numbers". Those "blah mm", "bl...
I mean, that's a lot of sci-fi in general. The second they give hard numbers is the moment they've lost.
primal tide
How many midichlorians does anakin have again
atomic pelican
Atleast 1
primal tide
Should have just gone with "too many"
thick shadow
Or "A LOT"
primal tide
I really do love it when sci-fi authors do a good job of scale
rotund siren
or don't have midochlorians at all
don't explain anything, and no one is ever let down
primal tide
Like a battle between two vessels that takes place in a few split seconds as they race by each other
rotund siren
but the instant you give a hard answer, it's no longer interesting
thick shadow
Let the people think themselves.
primal tide
Star wars isn't very interesting to begin with
atomic pelican
It helps alot to leave tiny details to reader's extrapolation
rotund siren
Star wars isn't very interesting to begin with
oof
thick shadow
Or you will have something like "40K, but way too slower than morden tsnks"
rotund siren
yeah, they do that a lot, like with bolter size
like, woah, it's almost 1 mm! and then modern weapons are already packing bullets bigger
thick shadow
Yeah, somethings like that
barren tapir
So, if i read those post right the guys and gals at GW wanted to make new rules, and since it is easier to create new rules for a new setting they wanted to fast forward WH40K, and in the middle of that they realized that the uproar from that would be 40K times bigger than what happened with WHF, so they just played cool trying to do things at a slower pace right?
odd sparrow
yea
atomic pelican
AoS worked out in 2e
primal tide
But they didn't want to call a loss on the models they'd already developed
odd sparrow
It like, kinda paid off in AoS but it would've uh
atomic pelican
But even if it failed, WHFB didnt make enough to be a real risk
primal tide
It would have been a different story than aos, cuz they only alienated the ~20 people who were whfb fans
odd sparrow
tbh if they did fast forward the timeline like. it would always be wildly unpopular with many fans, that's invariable, but if they just made it a concurrent game with main 40k i'd honestly be chill with it
but yeah no real incentive for them to do so rn
40k is making even more bank than it has usually
primal tide
Yeah, quarantine and becoming more mainstream has been good for them
atomic pelican
The shop manager for my local store told me hes been selling better during pandemic than ever FHDHF
People picking up hobby
primal tide
Plus getting an endorsement from geraldo
potent swift
Also some actor's revealing they're into 40k probably doesn't hurt
primal tide
tbh if they did fast forward the timeline like. it would always be wildly unpopu...
It's funny because they're kind of giving aos this treatment now
If it works out well I wonder if they'll reconsider their 40k plans again
barren tapir
Things would have been different if TWW had dropped before aos... Strange wisdom from GW... But they still wanted to fast forward, so probably it was the thing with aos that make them think about that again
primal tide
What's the strange wisdom?
barren tapir
To not do the fast forward with WH40K
primal tide
Yeah, I dunno, I could see it working out for the better, or not
Kind of a toss up with how theyd follow through
odd sparrow
I don't see them taking the risk for as long as 40k is selling well, honestly
primal tide
aos had it's problems but they've shown that they know what they're doing, as time has gone on
barren tapir
I think that GW saw how much attached fans can be to their setting, and while 20 people can still be loud, imagine what 40K can be, so they stopped
primal tide
I don't see them taking the risk for as long as 40k is selling well, honestly
Also this
💸
odd sparrow
plus tbh I'd hope GW is imaginative enough to create new factions AoS style without just yeeting the current timeline
atomic pelican
Yeeee
Itd be neat to see
I just think they should completely revamp 40k rulws
Theyre so bland compared to AoS
odd sparrow
I've never played AoS so wouldn't know
idk if they'd necessarily want to, didn't they kinda overhaul it in 8e too?
atomic pelican
Every faction is alot more unique om the table
P much
Also every battlephase initiative
So no one has to wait forever to play
odd sparrow
Ah like killteam?
barren tapir
Like, imagine craftworld eldar fans seeing the eldar ally with the dark eldar... It would have been fun see how much high the fires would have get
atomic pelican
Yess
odd sparrow
nice
I might eventually get into AoS tbh, for the models and rules if not the fluff. Those steampunk dwarves beckon me
atomic pelican
I wish Warcry was more like KT. Its cool but you can only play special warcry minis and stuff rather than everythinf
U should! AoS is alot cheaper than 40o too which is nice
odd sparrow
yee, that's honestly what i love so much about KT
if you have a wider 40k collection you can just kinda pick models out of that for KT
atomic pelican
Yeeep. Its why I went straight to big AoS rather than warcry
odd sparrow
then again. that means you don't have to buy new miniatures to play the game soooo GW you capitalists
odd sparrow
I'm also thinking of making some dnd miniatures for a gunpowder dorf so i'll probs just have some leftover after i kitbash the characters together
atomic pelican
Ayyy nice
odd sparrow
how many models are there in like, idk, a 1k point game? assuming it uses points in the same way
on average at least
primal tide
The only thing I wish is that some KO came with alternate helmet less heads
odd sparrow
probably elite
atomic pelican
Lemme find my stormcast list gimme a sec
odd sparrow
KO?
primal tide
Kharadron overlords
odd sparrow
yea i think i could excuse it for like, specifically super characterful single models like bugman 2.0
primal tide
Yeah, some of the hero models it would be really nice for
Or some of the ship captains
odd sparrow
yee
you could always just buy a few heads from the old dorf range or whatever, though might need to do some sculpting to get the beards to fit
primal tide
Yeah, that's a good point
atomic pelican
@odd sparrow My SE I've got rn is like 24 models for 1250 points roughly
primal tide
I've just been lazy about trying to source them cuz they'd have to be just the right size
odd sparrow
woah
atomic pelican
Like 22 for 1000
odd sparrow
that really is cheap compared to 40k
odd sparrow
is that like, an especially ridiculously elite army like the custodes?
atomic pelican
and a unit of fulminators
odd sparrow
or is it just kinda average for an elite list
atomic pelican
Yeah Stormcasts are pretty elite but in general thing stend to be worth alot of points
Even my LoN army was really cheap and It's up to like 1500 pts now
I think Kharadron are considered elite too
This helps alot
odd sparrow
will install it on battlescribe later, if i can get away with just buying a few kits to play it proper that would be awesome
atomic pelican
Yee I will look into the start collecting thing for u and how much its worth
because I'm curious nwo too
odd sparrow
am also kinda interested in sylvaneth, purely cus forest spirit spite nonsense is my crack and the treemen models have aged honestly very well
odd sparrow
I imagine they like. with the whole bark-ish vibe they have it should be pretty easy to just apply dumb amounts of wash + even dumber amounts of highlighting to get it to look vaguely like wood
there's no real flat surfaces
Alarielle looks so extra lol, so does drycha even
atomic pelican
Yeeee
atomic pelican
BEE SUIT
primal tide
I love those sculpts
atomic pelican
If you got like
2 start collecting kits for kharadron and a ship of your choice, you'd have just over 1k points @odd sparrow
Each start collecting gets you like 450pts worth
Or any other mixing/matching
primal tide
I really enjoyed how easily the thunderers and endrinriggers went together from the start collecting box
I haven't done the gunhauler yet but I probably will soon
atomic pelican
Nice nice
odd sparrow
nice
the thunderers are so badass tbh
who's the madlad back there with the goddamn handheld organ gun
siR
atomic pelican
I love their fluff too
primal tide
Haha
atomic pelican
Their codes of law and stuff are really neat
primal tide
The mortar cannon is sweet too
atomic pelican
Since all the dwarf grudge stuff instead became traditionalism in a sense of laws and orders
primal tide
Yeah, like that thing on the back of the one thunderer is like a stone tablet inscribed with their charter or w/e right
storm jungle
Wow its as if making grudges against every wrongdoings against your race is stupid or something.
atomic pelican
Yesss
FDHNFDJN
YEAH
Iirc they gave up that stuff because they were dying out during the age of chaos, because their grudges/traditionalism was holding them back
then their engineers came through for them
primal tide
Wow its as if making grudges against every wrongdoings against your race is stup...
"Stupid?!" Opens book grumblingly
potent swift
I love the Kharadron, I never realized how much I wanted uber-capitalist steampunk sky dwarfs until I saw them.

Squats?!

Honestly I'm considering getting a Ironclad just because it looks so good
dont even play KO
odd sparrow
you could 100% kitbash them into squats so easily
primal tide
I need to do some tests for basing them, I want to do clouds with cotton balls like ive seen pictures of but it seems tricky
odd sparrow

storm jungle
Cant wait for Vermintide 3: Age of Sigmar 👀
primal tide
Yeah, I want it to be durable too
atomic pelican
I hope black library stops being so stingy about AoS games
That would slap so hard
primal tide
Cant wait for Vermintide 3: Age of Sigmar 👀

Same AoS isn't bad if you look it separately from Fantasy

odd sparrow
tbh if there would be a vermintide-ish game for AoS like. it would honestly do so much for the worldbuilding
celest dome
Ramming Always Work
primal tide
atomic pelican
IT WOULD!!
storm jungle
Vermintide might be the only thing on the horizon if fatshark considers it for an AoS game, total war is far too away with the 3rd game coming out sooner or later.
odd sparrow
which i feel is what is missing for hella people, including me
people love to get immersed in warhammer settings, including with their armies
i can't really do that with AoS rn
potent swift
oehoehfofhew ur rite
Like, there's no way that there isn't a Kharadron mining company sending under payed dwarfs down into monster infested caves to haul up minerals somewhere in the setting.
atomic pelican
AoS has done pretty good recently in writing more people-y stories and things like (MAPS) but a game would seriously help the series
primal tide
They just need to keep trucking on with building the lore, it'll get there

Does AoS have a World Map or is it a multitude of Different World next to each other
atomic pelican
It has realm maps now!
odd sparrow
specifically one that gets into the like, actual nitty gritty bits of the setting
storm jungle
It has realm maps now!
Gimme!!!!!
atomic pelican
There are different realms, but I think each one now has a map of the important areas
especially with Soulbound
odd sparrow
what are the people like, what do they know, how do they interact with eachother and other cultures in the setting
storm jungle
what are the people like, what do they know, how do they interact with eachother...
All you need to know:

atomic pelican
O boy gimme a sec
potent swift
Sorta? There's maps for areas of each realm but I don't think there's one for the entirety of a realm yet.
primal tide
I want tater tots now
odd sparrow
wait how have they not made maps for everywhere
atomic pelican
Depending on th erealm, they can be like
odd sparrow
isn't a map like. one of the first things you should be making
atomic pelican
I think realms are basically planet sized if not bigger
It's because AoS is meant to be kept open, having set places on a map hurts that somewhat
odd sparrow
aren't realms supposed to be mostly normal towards the centre and progressively getting weirder and more magical the further out you go?
atomic pelican

yea that's fair

Yeee
The realms are mega large and are made to be so people can fill in their own stories too
odd sparrow
yea can imagine that's an issue they ran into with fantasy tbh
atomic pelican
Yeee
atomic pelican
Ye!
odd sparrow
but yeah
atomic pelican
I've heard AoS described as a "Yes, and..." sort of story when it comes to writing armies/ideas for it
More open and allowing
primal tide
Plus there's the space between realms where funky shit can go down too
atomic pelican
fucked up vampire mermaids

The idoneth are really funny
Some 'Order' armies are like that

the seabois are way way weirder
atomic pelican
Also!! The other aelementarii aren't out on the table yet !!! I can't wait fo rthem
There's like
odd sparrow
oh gosh the bullbois
primal tide
I love those
atomic pelican
So the Alarith are earthbenders p much
there's also
River benders, Wind benders, and zenith benders in lore
they just aren' ton tabletop yet
atomic pelican
They'll never have a big hat as Nagash tho
primal tide
I'm big excited for whatever new dwarf stuff is on the way too
atomic pelican
I'm HYPE for the new vampire stuff!
I've said this like 5 times but I REALLY hope we get AoS vampirates
primal tide
Definitely
odd sparrow
plus gotta get all of those new fantasy fans in somehow

I both like and dislike that. I like it because it gives people the freedom to add their own stuff but I dislike it because it feels like the stakes are smaller now. Like, in WFB, any city that got attacked actually mattered for the setting at large but AoS, if it doesn't have a name than who cares sorta deal.
atomic pelican
It is!! And AoS has SUCH good looking ghost models
atomic pelican
I both like and dislike that. I like it because it gives people the freedom to a...
That's true! But there still are important named cities and stuff. Esp in Cities of Sigmar. Like the recent broken realms stuff with Morathi taking that city
Anvilguard I think it was? that got betrayed
I haven't read much o fit yet
primal tide
Yeah, the realms still have very important locations, even if the borders are fuzzy
And at least one is actually very structured with a defined edge iirc
Hysh I think?
atomic pelican
That's true! Hysh is pretty defined
Well actually
I'm not sure
I know the 8 paradises are the main place
but I'm not sure if it continues beyond that
primal tide
I think it has an "edge of the world" thing going on
potent swift
Yea, Anvilgard fell and that was actually awesome. I'm just saying, it great for player side creativity but for in-universe lore, it kinda sucks the tension out of things when it happening to a place that didn't exist until that specific paragraph.
atomic pelican
U right Chapin
It's just the 8 paradises then it cuts off
Although, Anvilgard did exist before Broken realms
plucky moth
Wow its as if making grudges against every wrongdoings against your race is stup...
THAT'S GOING IN THE BOOK
atomic pelican
I think we'll get more named places and stuff as the setting develops
primal tide
That map looks so sweet
atomic pelican
It's cool!
I really like imagining the border sof th erealms
I imagine Azyr to be filled with storms and such on the edge for example

ashen zenith
Anyone know the name of the weapon the emperor was kil- uh, wounded with?
potent swift
I'm not sure if it was ever named
ashen zenith
:o thx
potent swift
But he had power claws when he fought Emps, didn't he?
storm jungle
Yabbadabadon stole both of em lol
potent swift
I don't know why but I kept thinking he stabbed the Emps with a sword instead of his claws.
celest dome
Nope the Maul was broken by Abadon when he killed the Clone
final spruce
Failbaddon the Armless
ashen zenith
I was just expecting he got wounded with something like the anathema imbued with chaos trickery so he couldnt heal it or something

The Sword you are thinking of may be Draichen (No idea how it's supposed to be spelled): Demon Possessed Sword

You're thinking of the Anathame, which was broken up into daggers
final spruce
And being a bad Horus
open marsh
he'll never be taken seriously
Which is sad, because he has done more damage to the galaxy than anyone else. Everyone shits on him, but he has literally torn the galaxy in two. Unless people forgot about the whole Great Rift thing. That was Abbadon's doing.
primal tide
He's doing a pretty good job of not being a chaos sock puppet like his sad daddy
celest dome
You're thinking of the Anathame, which was broken up into daggers
Wasn't that the Sword which wounded Horus ?
primal tide
Yeah
open marsh
He's doing a pretty good job of not being a chaos sock puppet like his sad daddy
Uhhh.....he thinks he isnt a sock puppet
ashen zenith
Yes it corrupted him
open marsh
Thats the dark irony of Abbadon. He thinks he is better than Horus when he has fallen into the same trap without realizing it
ashen zenith
Thanks to the fucking fucker erebus
primal tide
Eugene temba (sp) was the one that hit him with it
It was unhealable even for a primarch
celest dome
The Sword that was supposed to kill/hurt the Emp was another (He Stabbed a Custodes and told him to run in the Eldar Web Way with it)
ashen zenith
Wasnt erebus the one that stole it doe?

The Emperor made that sword. It was a daemon that he literally absorbed into his sword

barren tapir

The custodes was ra endymion, and the demon sword was Drach'nyen, which is now the sword that abaddon use
open marsh
And its possible that Ra is the one who showed Abaddon to the blade
Since all we know of the blade between the two events is that The Emperor shanked Ra with it to "contain" the daemon and had him run into the webway. Then when Abaddon found where it was then hidden, a figure taller than him (like a custodes) and covered in golden light (like much anything associated with the custodes and the emperor is) showed him to it, which it was now his an amorphous thing of darkness. When Abaddon reached for it, it turned back into a sword

Too bad they arent considered canon
atomic pelican
Necron ending is rlly cool
open marsh
@atomic pelican You got me thinking of a specialized force in the Farsight Enclaves who try and hunt down abandoned battlefields to recover Tau tech. Like was a battle between the Imperium and Tau happened, but is over and the Tau were run off. But abandoned wrecks may still have been left on the field
final spruce
Yeah would have saved Cadia
storm jungle
The necron ending realistically shows what they'd do without 40k having plot-tape that pauses the narrative every week
atomic pelican
Ur call bro. You can write p much any story for a army
open marsh
I like being lore friendly and doing stuff that makes sense within the lore itself. ask @storm jungle
storm jungle
owo
atomic pelican
Well yeah idk what thatd conflict with then
open marsh
Since the Farsight Enclaves have limited manufacturing ability and often have been relying on weapons and tech smuggled to them. It would make sense for them to also have a force dedicated to salvaging useful and useable war material
atomic pelican

Don't suits have a security protocol where they destroy themselves if they are abandonned ?
I remember Aunva mentionning that
atomic pelican
I believe thats just a addon
Oh I dont recall but there is a thinf u can take that does that
I forgot what its called
Its not standard tho
open marsh
Plus a battlesuit wouldnt self destruct under that protocol if its pilot and/or its own processors just got fried via a lascannon shot
storm jungle
Damn
its like the 40k plot is restrictive as hell to any faction that isnt the imperium

Especially when held by space marines or a good machine spirit
finite roost
Yeah but they pretty accurate
tau don't use melee, they don't rush at you. it is a preety long range
open marsh
but lascannons are not that precise, they can miss
They are laser cannons. The are precise. and if you really think no Tau has ever been killed in their battlesuit them you dont understand how tau battlesuits or Imperial weapons work

Lasscanons are long range my dude

Youd be surprised to know that other shooting armies do pretty well against Tau
They dont eat overwatch as often fhrhf

If Astartes can think that siding with some eldrich horror who expressly wants to sexually rape the galaxy is a good thing, then there are Astartes who would come to think that siding with the Greater Good is a good thing

No no ur misunderstanding like
The Tau wouldnt have them
Even uf they did
They see them as bioweapons

guardsmen do that all the time,
