i feel that

crisp heath
#

or what passes for journalism nowadays

#

fucking servitorize me

plush mason
#

bt for me its the even more smoothbrain people that believe what they see in movies is real lol

rotund siren
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

plush mason
#

which seems to be like half of america rn

primal tide
#

Or that actors should get hate for things their characters did

plush mason
#

yup

rotund siren
#

oh don't get me started

crisp heath
#

ppl who actually push for media censorship :)

#

here's your shovel, here's mine. yours is for digging the grave, mine's for putting you in it.

plush mason
#

yessss

plush mason
#

btw

#

iirc someone said before that the germans didnt have sniper plate in WW1....

crisp heath
#

i don't recall seeing it no

plush mason
#

its was during that whole "kreig isnt WW1 german army base" BS

crisp heath
#

apparently it was too heavy to be practical

#

i'm just looking into it

plush mason
#

yeah

#

well krieg carapace armor looks just like it lol

crisp heath
#

however, this makes me want to see krieg officers with pickelhauben

plush mason
#

i mean they use the stalhelm

crisp heath
plush mason
crisp heath
#

looks more like stahlhelm with dragoon crest

plush mason
#

yeah it does

crisp heath
#

but yes

#

eagle crest could be made with some spare bits

#

HMMMM

open marsh
#

Prussian Cuirassiers during WWI

crisp heath
#

the "fringe" is different on the krieg officer, more reminiscent of the stahlhelm. the stahlhelm looks more like an open-faced, early sallet, whereas the pickelhauben and their derivatives look more like burgonets, having a slightly different peak in the front and a tail/back section that's more receded, possibly lobstered, covering the ears less

#

Posted both Incase someone tried to say the Krieg engineers used wwi german armour. That armour style was popular on all sides

crisp heath
#

if it ain't broke don't fix it

open marsh
#

I like to make sure that I'm using a high pressure automatic nail gun to put the nails in the coffin of the "Krieg are Nazis!" Crowd

crisp heath
#

i'm just a nerd

#

military nerd, fashion nerd

celest dome
#

put the nails in the coffin
Wait it's in the coffin that you're supposed to put the nail ?

crisp heath
#

it all comes together to make me absolutely insufferable when talking about anything military wear related, especially if german or austrian

open marsh
#

I'm a military tech nerd who just really hates people who try and associate everything remotely german with Nazis

crisp heath
#

same tho

#

ww1 and ww2, very different

final spruce
#

Assuming people care

crisp heath
#

well they will once i'm beating them over the head with a steel-toed boot

People will just see the Kriegs think vaguely of WW2 germans and yell Nazi

everything can be solved with sufficient amounts of violence, darling

You say that like'd be able to apply said violence

usually i filter it by being violent in eg bunker maintenance works or violently pedalling on my bike

those fucking blackberry plants on the bunker grounds witnessed real wrath

# storm jungle Bike pedalling is way more relaxing than it should be

there's nothing relaxing about it, you just have to force yourself to go faster than -- that loser ass family trip group stretching for 10 meters, that fat fuck in stupid bike shorts, that kid with the annoying hat that keeps swerving, that dumbass that's taking up half the path, etc etc -- until you realise you're 20km away from your house and you have to get back before dark because you have 1. no lights, 2. no money to pay a ticket if you get caught without lights after dark, so you furiously pedal back and then you're so exhausted you think it was relaxing.

#

i will do it every week in summer nonetheless

storm jungle
#

Oh.

final spruce
#

You make me remember that woman that served with the World Eaters when they were loyalists

final spruce
#

Yes that one !

storm jungle
#

One of the most underrated female 40k characters.

final spruce

Expecting males in their fifties from Britain to do stuff like that correctly

#

Lotara was a traitor too

storm jungle
#

Who cares

#

Shes badass regardless lol

storm jungle
#

didnt want to say it but yes

crisp heath
#

why her lol

final spruce
#

Well Britain was known in Europe to be quite behind when it came to social politics like women's right or equality between people of color

#

Because that woman was as angry as Marines with Butcher's Nails

#

And you sound like someone with a lot of pent up anger

storm jungle
#

Also shooting a world eater in the face

#

and telling them to get in line

#

AND living ontop of it

crisp heath
#

i'd say i'm closer to blood angels. 50% anger 50% art and melancholy

#

but i keep my depressive outbursts private

final spruce
#

I mean we all needs people to hear those out

#

Maybe ask someone close to you or a total stranger for those

crisp heath
#

yes, someone close to me

#

not public discords

open marsh
crisp heath
#

ik that one, love it

open marsh
#

Is this not some of the most 40k shit you have seen?

plush mason
#

seeing as the guy that would wear this would be shooting a wall of flame as he walked to you ima say yes

#

tho i doubt the WW1 flamethrowers where very effective

#

hell a WW2 era one only have a 60 yard range and only had enough fuel for less than 60 seconds of flame

final spruce
#

Yeah but the point isn't for it be an effective weapon

#

Its to break the enemy's morale

#

And 60 yard sounds good enough when what you're doing is trench cleaning

plush mason
#

i doubt WW1 era ones had that range and fire time

#

weakers pumps and smaller tanks on the ones i have seen

crisp heath
#

but it still would be terrifying as fuck to the ppl who've never seen that shit before

final spruce
#

The article i read said they were mostly about 18 meters of range

#

Which , in a trench, sounds like good enough

rotund siren
open marsh
#

Wouldnt be able to see. But it is very much like something the Solar Auxilia would have worn

rotund siren

who needs to see when you can SPREAD FIRE UPON YOUR ENEMIES!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAH! FOR THE EMPRAH!!!

I may have asked this before, but Ogryn or Ork Boy? Who ya got???

ROUGH RIDERS - CAVALRY OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD
The Rough Riders are a legends unit that is still playable.
They are the cavalry of the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Guard.
With many mounts and regiments, they are a fun unit to discuss.

[EXTREME BLUEBERRY CONFUSION]

#

Flamethrowers would be very effective for clearing out dugouts. You would roast anyone within view, set fire to all the wooden supports, and suffocate anyone inside as the fire burnt up all the oxygen.

#

I rather doubt they were used like they are in 40k though

odd sparrow
#

i mean, the point of captured dugouts is you can use them afterwards i would've thought

#

sorry sir we can't use those quarters for our men, they're currently on fire and collapsing

primal tide
#

better to fashion new ones anyway

#

idle hands and all that

arctic crane
#

Dugouts would be very difficult to attack, with curved tunnels they could prevent grenades from being effective and allow for even men with bolt-action rifles to hold for a fair amount of time. It would probably be more effort then they were worth to try to capture them intact if the defenders didn't surrender.

#

Especially in a pitched battle, it might also be an unreasonable risk to allow a dugout to remain behind your soldiers. If they can breakout and effectively surround your troops in the trench later.

vagrant osprey
#

40k doesn't model asphyxiation in any way.

#

Technically speaking, nobody in the tabletop game breathes.

#

Since the lore is written from the basis of the tabletop, they kinda forget that oxygen is a thing there, too

#

Remember, Space Hulks are open to space, and they aren't large enough to hold an atmosphere.

#

(If they were large enough, they would start compacting and the deck plating couldn't prevent the center of mass from being "down")

it is proof He blessed you

I've been aware of my hands having asymmetric muscle development.

crisp heath

my hands are just fine

both fully capable of performing emperor's children type activities

and by that i mean applying makeup, styling hair and making jewelry if there's a pervert in here

siiiighs I always do a better job applying nail polish to one of my hands than the other.

Weird erotic servitors come up sort of obliquely in Gaunt's Ghosts at least once.

ashen zenith
#

My mind did not wander that far

potent swift
#

Was it Necropolis? I do recall a nobleman who had a weird thing for having tons of servitors

plush mason
#

its latin

#

necro=dead and polis=city

storm jungle
plush mason
#

they are massive tomb comblexes

potent swift
#

It's also the title of the 3rd Gaunt's Ghost book

plush mason
#

where 10s of thousands are buried

storm jungle
#

also you mean the imperium basically yes

plush mason
#

yes

crisp heath
#

i mean there are literal tomb worlds

primal tide
#

A tomb is where people get buried

rotund siren
#

or grave worlds

#

Would be really funny if a tomb world was under one

barren tapir

Cemetery worlds

rotund siren

"The dead have come back to life! By the Emperor, what do we do!"

Oh right yes

that's the right word

we said all of them except the right one

barren tapir

There should be one where the DKoK fought some necrons

rotund siren
#

huh, alright

crisp heath
#

i would love to see a tomb world - converted into a cemetery world by unknowing imperials - as the place of some brutal siege

#

you dig a trench. by the throne, you're fortifying your position with tombstones and skeletons.

barren tapir
#

As cemetery world with necron there is thaur, which probably is exactly that

rotund siren

waddya know

you think we'll get Primaris Guard?

Some even rival the Astartes process

not really normies but ye, assassins have some impressive shit

not gonna out-astartes anyone, but they're insanely well tweaked for whatever it is they do

open marsh
#

There is the process that enhanced Luther and Kor Phaeron.

The process used to enhance Hector Rex.

The process used to enhance that body guard I forget his name

distant harness
#

wasn't rex's supposed to be pretty similar to the astartes one?

ashen zenith
#

@primal tide wondering about what you said about event horizon, was human ftl before the dark age of technology also through the warp?

open marsh
crisp heath
#

They Had huge archeships that traveled for generations Till they reached there Destination. Most of them where deconstructed on arrival to fuel the new settlement with Ressources

#

Thats also the reason why there are so many different human cultures, they all gone there own path since contact and travel to Other collonies was realy unlikly Till Impossible

#

Warpdrives was Developer arround the 18th millenium

ashen zenith
#

So they didnt have ftl travel??

crisp heath
#

Not at the beginning. Later there was warpdrives but Just for short jumps.
Even later the Navigators appeared allowing for longer more precise jumps

open marsh
crisp heath
#

But the Warp was way calmer These days which Made it easier in General to travel it

#

What happens if you use a vortex grenade in the warp?

#

Like, there are 3 options

#

1:send them to material world

#

2:nothing

#

3:send them to SUPER WARP

crisp heath
#

I whould say nr.1

.....When the grenade is activated, it creates a tiny rift between realspace and the Warp, a rift that becomes a vortex in the very fabric of space-time........

cloud kindle
#

super warp

prisma lark
#

the question is probably how it creates that rift in the first place, and what this method does in the actual Warp

ashen lake
#

probably 2

#

rule of cool says something weird should probably happen

#

the idea of it send you back to real space is fun though. I could see that being used as some way to survive an impossible situation in a novel or something.

#

they'd have to write in some good reason for the character to end up on somewhere habitable though and not just floating in space since the odds are like 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% that they would

crisp heath
#

Pretty sure popping a vortex does a hell of a whole lot more than make a portal

#

It's more like devastatingly violent decompression into the warp

#

You won't get alive on the other side

#

More like mashed potatoes

ashen lake
#

PO TA TOES!?

crisp heath
#

Vortex weapons are amongst the most destructive explosives that you can deploy

#

The Nova Cannon can fire vortex as well

vagrant osprey
#

Also: Note that using a vortex grenade on a daemon does not kill the daemon.

#

It's a quick way to get it out of the materium, though

crisp heath
#

Well it's fucking hard to kill a daemon

#

Most of the times you will just banish it

vagrant osprey
#

Conversely, using a Vortex grenade on a C'Tan shard just fails.

open marsh
#

Only way to kill a daemon in the materium is to kill it with an anathema. Or something charged by the Emperor

vagrant osprey
#

Or by the killing intent of another warp thing.

#

Daemons can kill each other in the materium just fine, if it's ever relevant.

open marsh
#

You can kill them in the warp tho. Khan did that

vagrant osprey
#

Khan's part warp-thing.

i mean

a toilet could be interpreted as a sort of chairlike structure

that's why we call it the porcelain throne

tbh I don't understand how they wanna like, do terra? Cus i've always interpreted it as being like

#

a couple of ridiculously massive structures/areas like the imperial palace and stuff

#

but then other things depict as like. an actual hive world? with people living on it that aren't priests or smthn

storm jungle

Yeah thats the general gist of it

#

the planet is mostly dead with some outer hive cities

ashen zenith
storm jungle
#

the most massive one being around the palace

odd sparrow
#

idk given it's the centre of the imperium i'd imagine they'd have long sinced banished the vast majority of the peasants

ye that makes some sense

Yeeee i suggest some reading, like its explained but not much is given since the planet is so barren

i was thinking about making a mechanism for larp

#

where you have a gun mounted on the shoulder or so

#

and a trigger in hand via cable or extension mechanism

storm jungle
#

With enough money everything is possible

ashen zenith
#

if you have an arduino it shouldnt be too difficult

#

except for the whole shoulder mounting

crisp heath
#

you could sling it under the shoulder too

#

the shoulder mounting could be done via some form of harness

#

this was for a costume which is supposed to have wings and claws so as to make firing easier when you can't use the trigger

@atomic pelican

 It was an epic tale that had built up around her, but as Trishala sat alone in her cabin recovering from her wounds, she could only wonder how such a story had come to be. Certainly she’d struck out for the cathedral after leaving Kashibai in the catacombs. It had been her intention to join her Sisters in a last stand against the cultists. She could remember passing through the Mourning Door and advancing through the crypts.```
#
 Trishala could feel the pulse of the ship’s engines as it started away from Lubentina. She didn’t have a viewport to watch as the planet receded into the distance, but she could sense the increasing gulf just the same. The connection she shared with the God-Emperor had been bound into her duty as defender of Vadok Singh’s relics. As she drew away from the place where she’d failed in that duty, she could feel a hideous sense of isolation and loneliness wailing through her brain. She’d lost that sense of community, of belonging. Even with the rest of her Battle Sisters fallen in combat, while she was on Lubentina she hadn’t felt alone. They were with her, as close to her as her own thoughts.```

Pog

#
 The feeling of isolation swelled inside her mind. Trishala rested against the desk, dropping down on the metal stool. She bowed her head in prayer, seeking the comfort of communing with the God-Emperor. Since escaping with the Shroud, she had prayed incessantly, repenting her failures and asking for the strength that seemed unequal to the trials ahead.```
#
 In the midst of war, she’d unexpectedly found enlightenment. Trishala had been blessed to carry that gift within her.
 That one day she might bring others the glory of ascension.```
storm jungle
#

The hilarious part is

#

She'd probably be found out in like a day at best and just shot in the head or something unless shes fast.

open marsh
#

Not necessarily. Remember that the whole force of an Astartes chapter's serfs got infected and started a GSC

storm jungle
#

Dangit

crisp heath
#

must've thought it's good having four arms to scrub armor with

final spruce
#

It's most likely her child that would have 4 arms thought

crisp heath
#

I mean the serfs

final spruce
#

Children aswell, which may be impossible if their implants make them like the fully fledged SM

open marsh
#

While they would lure in and infect any new serfs who came in

#

Hard to catch any genetic anomalies when the infected are the ones running the tests

barren tapir
#

So, SoB are just useful to defence, since even on the attack they are subpar compared to the IG

final spruce
#

Not really

#

Especially with Sisters willingly charging the enemy and using devastating short range weapons like Melta and flamers

barren tapir
#

That can be done by the IG too

final spruce
#

Also them not refusing a fight in melee thanks to repentias, penitent engines and arco flagellants

barren tapir
#

Ehy, we have ogryns and catachans

#

Also commissars are good hybrids

final spruce
#

Indeed but by their fath, their better armor and weaponry, a charging by sisters will usually end up better than an IG one

barren tapir
#

After all, they may have a chainsword and laspistol, but nothing prevent them from using lasguns too

final spruce
#

Ogryns don't have the coordination and decision making and adaptability of a human sadly

barren tapir
final spruce
#

Also keep in mind that using Sisters to defend anything less than a divine relic or artefact will have a huge impact on morale

#

They don't I agree, I'm just saying SoB have more aggressive tactics compared to the more calculated guardsmen

crisp heath
#

rules don't matter, play what you like looking at and painting

final spruce
#

That rely on specialized regiments and a solid command structure

barren tapir
#

I know, i like that they are used for that too... So more people can be used to defend useful sites

final spruce
#

We're not talking rules

#

We're talking about difference of roles between IG and Sororitas

atomic pelican
#

Very simple

barren tapir
#

It is true that IG command structure is more a dice roll than a stable thing

atomic pelican
#

One dies so space marines can be cool and the other donates blood so the space marines can be cool

primal tide
#

Lmao

final spruce
#

Well it can be, if you end up with a glory-seeking officer that do not care about losses, well you're in for a ride

barren tapir
#

Like, two regiments, raised from the same world may have a very different style of leadership, while at least in the sororitas there is quite a standard

final spruce
#

Funnily enough, Guardsmen tend to be more disciplined options in certain situations, especially when you are beginning to lose officers

#

With Sororitas known to blindly charge into a useless death, seeking to become a martyr

barren tapir
#

I cry for all that equipment being lost... Damn, that hit hard

final spruce
#

Actually, different Sororitas orders have different philosophies

#

Speaking about the regiment difference you mentionned

barren tapir
#

I know, but that is like saying that IG has different philosophies with catachans and cadians ans elysians etc, but the problem is that two cadians regiments may have two very different style of leadership, while the sororistas one don't change much inside the orders

final spruce
#

True, all SoB are linked by their Order's vows creates less culture difference compared to IG regiments

plucky moth
#

that's what makes IG so charming

final spruce
#

I mean, most sisters go through the Schola Progenium where you learn to discard your previous life and take the role you are given

plucky moth
#

sounds like when I became a warden

atomic pelican
#

Schola Fatsharkium

final spruce
#

I feel like coding does that to you

#

Hard to have a "culture" where what you do from birth is study and train in the ways of warfare

Has anyone ever acknowledge how ridiculous the setting is? Not authors or internet users, the characters inside the world.

probably some chaos marines

Maybe Malcador, he sound like he could see the whole picture

#

That one weirdboy that knows he is a plastic miniature

distant harness
#

better in general than them tbh, considering the whole miracles thing

vagrant osprey
#

Malcador knows, that one weirdboy, and Tzneech

final spruce
#

Well they are trained alongside the scions and commissar during their youth

vagrant osprey
#

That's why Tzneetch spends most of his time dead.

distant harness
#

Ya exactly, they come out of a pretty similar process to a good amount of elite groups

#

Guard are a step up from random pdf soldiers, but they're not really close to sisters in setting

vagrant osprey
#

Oh, and The Deceiver. IIRC he knows, and is out to fuck shit up so the setting never becomes stagnant since a stagnant setting would get cancelled.

vagrant osprey
distant harness
#

I'd agree with that yeah, scions were just the closest IG equivalent I could think of

final spruce
#

Scions are pretty damn good

distant harness
#

Sisters get real strong the further up their command chain you go, even ignoring celestine

final spruce
#

I daresay more efficient than SoB

storm jungle
#

I gotta agree with this one

final spruce
#

Well scions dont have the power of god and anime at their side

storm jungle
#

Scions are way too tactical, Sororitas are more shock and awe

vagrant osprey
#

SoB get powered armor, and some get powers.

distant harness
#

I wouldn't say so, scions are used more sparingly but sisters are definitely better combatants 1v1, as well as being able to do shit with faith

storm jungle
#

Yeah but they cant exactly pray when they get their faces melted by a hellgun volley

distant harness
#

If you've got to cleanse a hive or something you'd 100% use sisters over scions

final spruce
#

Scions in general get more training than SoB and can hold more roles than soB

distant harness
#

Hey I mean one literally prays the gauss away in the 9th trailer

vagrant osprey
#

If I need to cleanse a hive I'm going virus bomb.

final spruce
#

Because scion are infiltration and shock troops units

distant harness
#

How do scions get more training?

final spruce
#

Simple, less pray time more spray time

distant harness
#

Sisters basically exclusively train and pray, they're insane

final spruce
#

Well scions just train

distant harness
#

I don't think we've ever seen a scions schedule mentioned have we?

vagrant osprey
#

It is literally impossible to cleanse a hive with any number of troops you could reasonably field.

final spruce
#

So good you say 1 number and they mount a whole operation

storm jungle
#

Theres actually this one old scion book

#

where they kill some nutcase sororitas

#

thats the only example iirc

distant harness
#

I can't think of many that focus on them really at all tbh, they almost always just seem to be background stuff from what I've seen

storm jungle
#

Yeee basically

distant harness
#

Sisters aren't crazy popular either, but there's enough books about them to say

final spruce
#

Scions do appear sparringly in books

#

Like them being used to do the space drop to destroy a bases anti air from orbit just using their armor, a grav chute and heat proof skin on their armor

storm jungle
#

yeah they're basically SAS arent they?

vagrant osprey
#

That is not how you destroy anti-air.

#

The fuck is wrong with them.

cloud kindle
#

Its 40k

distant harness
#

At least they're not just going "yeah send in a titan alone, what could go wrong"

vagrant osprey
#

That's not how you destroy anti-air in 40k

cloud kindle
#

It aint gotta make sense

distant harness
#

the imperium is learning

final spruce
#

They literaly infiltrated it from orbit and desactivated the power source

#

Which allowed the ships to come in and the SM to use their drop pods

distant harness
#

Imagine not just having a teleporter that does whatever you want

#

LaughingCustodes.png

final spruce
#

Because their targeting system was so good it could spot a sm power armor from orbit

vagrant osprey
#

But not the reentry heat of a troop squad.

#

I guess it's too bad that macrocannons can't shoot ground targets from orbit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

final spruce
#

Not with the heat absorbing skin they used

storm jungle
#

surface-shields exist too

#

lol

final spruce
#

Either way scions are trained to be as good if not better compared to SoB

#

They are however way more disciplined and can perform more tasks

#

Depending of the Tempestus office they may even get special training like Lambdan Lions learning Techno Lingua and more technology related skills

storm jungle
#

True but dont let SoB fans hear you say that

final spruce
#

Idgaf Ill protect the new boys, its so unusal IG gets new toys Ill defend them

#

Hey, funny part, Scions are actually encouraged to form friendship and relationships with their squad mates

storm jungle
#

I mean it makes sense tho

#

they're literally small squad-buddies

final spruce
#

Like you end up with a scene where a scion is gushing how heis going to propose to that girl in his squad

#

And the SM looks at him weird because he doesnt get whats Love and horny

storm jungle
#

Excuse me

#

may i get the source to this

#

👀

vagrant osprey
#

So the SM wasn't a Salamander, Space wolf, or Blood Angel :V

final spruce
#

I believe its the Eye of Medusa but i may be wrong

storm jungle
#

I'll take a look

final spruce
#

So it was a Iron Hand

#

Or one of their successor

storm jungle
#

but also yeah i love scions like that, their old lore was ultra-grimdank and had them being constantly brainwashed lol

vagrant osprey
#

Yep.

final spruce
#

I saw the excerp and it made me smile

odd sparrow
#

wholesome scions ftw

distant harness
#

40k in general seems to have moved away from a bit of that stuff, which is nice

final spruce
#

Hey, they got to keep the ranks full

storm jungle
distant harness
#

Sisters novels focus a lot on the bond they tend to have with their squad as well, instead of just having them be parodies of religious fanatics that have no real personality

final spruce
#

There is a reason regiments in iG tend to be separated by sex

odd sparrow
#

yea it's always nice to see that stuff

#

like, oh shit, it turns out that even in a shitty universe full of shitty things there are still decent people who have personalities and relationships and are actual characters

#

who knew

distant harness
#

mark of faith was so good with it, they were all fanatics obviously but it was cool to see how that interacted with them just being people, and dealing with insane shit that was going on

odd sparrow
#

character motivations? where we're going we don't need character motivations, we have 'for the emperor lmao'

distant harness

So much more compelling than "generic angry marine man #4462"

final spruce
#

Its a motivation alright

atomic pelican
#

What, you dont like "FUR TAH EMPRAH!!" ?

#

Its the finest literature around

distant harness
#

I mean I like that stuff too, wouldn't be a sob novel without it

#

I just prefer characters to be people

#

which is a controversial take I know

storm jungle
#

SoB are getting 3-4 new novels or so as well

#

GW seems to be pushing them

atomic pelican
#

Yess

distant harness
#

oh really? I hadn't heard

storm jungle
#

Yeeee not sure when though

#

GW is dogshit when it comes to teases > releases

distant harness
#

only warhammer news stuff I've seen is those hedonite models taunting me and my empty wallet

storm jungle
#

Oh yeah this book stuff was a few months old news

#

and they didnt really advertise it much; for reasons

atomic pelican
#

Probably timed to matchup with the drukhari/SoB boxset?

distant harness
#

wouldn't be a GW announcement without factions getting neglected for the glory of a primaris lieutenant/captain

storm jungle
#

okay noob question

#

i know primaris are marketed a lot

#

but does GW actually reveal primaris lieutenants constantly next to other faction releases lol

distant harness
#

It's pretty uncommon for there to be a big event without a marine announcement from what I've seen

#

the lieutenant thing is just a meme because they've made a bunch of them

atomic pelican
#

Yeah whenever a faction gets something, you usually have to pay the space marine tax

#

Its why most boxsets have a space marine half

distant harness
#

captains and sergeants get thrown into the lieutenant box too

storm jungle
atomic pelican
#

GW will model every mook from the HH books before giving a xeno more than 1 new HQ model on avg

storm jungle
#

Oh yeah

#

didnt they do that shit literally last week

#

again?

atomic pelican
#

Oh man, maybe. Im unsure

storm jungle
#

Let me check

final spruce
#

Someone mentionning SoB getting pushed

#

Meanwhile even before Covid GW always struggled to keep the SoB stock available

#

Because so many people buy them

#

Nobody remembers when they relaunched the army and it was sold out in 2 minutes ?

distant harness
#

Just for main codex models alone there's 6 primaris lieutenant/captains, there's been a few that are limited I think as well

#

also tbh it's hard to say what sold out means, they might have just not produced many

atomic pelican
#

Oh yeah baby

Another loser ass horse hearsay marine

I just want Titus

It had a mordian on the cover

Could have gave us the lieutenant lady atleast

atomic pelican
#

I just had a horrible fear

distant harness
#

a non-primaris lieutenant? what do you mean?

atomic pelican
#

They do a HH prequel style seriee for that new WHF thing set in the age of 3 emperors

#

And it sucks

#

And whf oldies hate it, aos fans hate it

#

Ive been hit by this portent

storm jungle
#

Its gonna happen

#

GW cant write 50% od the time lol

atomic pelican
#

50% is generous

#

FBDBD

final spruce
#

Yeah I dont think re releasing Whf was a good financial move

distant harness
#

ngl I half expect that whole release to flop

atomic pelican
#

Yeah

distant harness
#

so many of the WHF fans that talk about it don't play or buy models

atomic pelican
#

Yeeeep

#

Mostly ppl brought in by video games who dont actually do the hobbyist stuff

distant harness
#

and there's already people crying about ice weapons, even though they've been in the setting since like 2007 or earlier

storm jungle
#

GW literally doesnt even care about it

atomic pelican
#

Or theyre oldies who are gonna hate the new stuff of the prequel setting

storm jungle
#

its been a fucking year since they made any news after kislev

#

we got like what now most recently, a stupid map?

atomic pelican
#

They did say it was gonna be like 3-5 years

#

By that point TWW and VT hype will be dead

#

And the series will return to its grave

storm jungle
#

LOL

#

I kinda disagree on the TWW and VT hype

atomic pelican
#

Maybe not TWW

distant harness
#

depends when TW3 comes out I guess

atomic pelican
#

TWW is like still super hype bcuz its so good

storm jungle
#

the tabletop thing will probably still die tho

atomic pelican
#

Yee

distant harness
#

but I really doubt there'll be much cross over

atomic pelican
#

I just mean the games ability to carry the series rlly

distant harness
#

they're super different markets, if people wanted to be playing tabletop they already would be

storm jungle
#

Yeah im pretty sure we all are more hyped for TWW3 than Whfb lol

#

TWW and VT are still going strong and offer actual good content

storm jungle
#

Mmmmm ogres...

And not yee yee ass minis

storm jungle

ogors

distant harness
#

I'm excited for some of the new models, but I'm not gonna play it

atomic pelican
#

Yeah I hope the empire state faction minis can be used in CoS

#

Their line rlly needs a update

distant harness
#

yeah definitely, some of the models are fine but there's a really big gap in quality

#

like look at the nomad prince or sisters of the thorn models compared to handgunners or helstorm

Probably not

DaoT humanity was pretty op

They surpassed the Tau and were bigger, and the Tau atm manages to routinely hand the imperium its ass pretty okay considering their size

atomic pelican
#

FHFN

#

Ok good

#

the question of the day is

#

Daot humanity vs Aeldari empire

storm jungle
#

Alright so that and the first question above...

storm jungle
#

The Dark Age humanity literally had any stupidly OP weapon you can think of since they were in their clean futuristic star trek phase.

#

Its one of the reasons why anything found from that era from terraforming tools to literal coats of paint are regarded with infamous status

#

the Dark Age of Technology as a whole is an era of mcguffin tools humanity could pull out of their ass to make their tasks easier.

#

Now for the matter with the Eldar if i remember correctly the human federations and the eldar had "peace treaties" of sorts and never bothered to irk one and other.

#

The Eldar at this phase were in the high life and were certainly OP but their decadence had gotten absolutely horrendous so they'd pretty much become pointy eared sloths that didnt wanna do anything.

They didnt even conquer worlds anymore and chose to let spirit-drones/robots do the job instead while they hanged back and did whatever.

atomic pelican

The Vibe Machines

storm jungle
#

to quote Stellaris when it comes to the Eldar and DAoT humie relationship:

"Let us state this plainly. We demand a buffer between us and the rest of the galaxy. You are not that buffer. Your allies are not that buffer. Cold, dead space is that buffer, and if it is not, we will make it so."

On another topic:

Aaaaawesome comic

i imagine orks get a green hardon when they invade a feudal planet and fight 100% in melee against humans

#

or alteast mostly

Also, i discovered the Arbiters...i love their helmet, is like Robocop, but with more police brutality

I was reading another series of books recently

#

And they had these bunch of Demi-God like people

#

kinda like the Primarchs

#

And it put an idea in my head

#

Cuz in that series their Demigods, none came back from whatever they were doing right at all

#

Like they were all mad in some way or the other

#

What if the Primarchs were also like that? Yeah Guilliman made sense, he was basically on Pause for 10k years

#

So he was okay and basically himself

#

But like imagine all the other Primarchs, that were stuck in the Warp, or with the Dark Eldar

#

I think if they do come back, it would be really really interesting if they came back broken or mad. They may not be lost to Chaos, but they're not the same anymore at all

Well the Lion is in stasis

#

So he will be fine like Guilliman

Just busy doing other things

Yeah but I doubt they'll be like completely sane haha

Who knows. For them, they could have only been in the Warp a few days, whilst millennia has passed

Or a Million Years ha

Does the Webway's passage of time different to realspace?

"the emperor charged leman russ with a sacred duty above all others and sent him into the warp"

#

"what duty was that?"

#

"to 'bring back firefly' he said"

#

".......what does that mean?"

#

"i have no idea"

Seeing people thinking that SoB are superior in training to the IG is always funny, and quite wrong... Luckly there was Commissar Moth defending the IG...

final spruce
#

Technically the SoB have better training than your average Guardsman when it comes to shooting accurately and stabbing better

#

The Age of Tech human federation would crush the imperium of the 41 millennium without problem, it may had a harsher time with the 30K millennium imperium

barren tapir
final spruce
#

But its more like they get more practise

#

Nah, SoB get special force training from childhood, the kind that even before fall Cadia doesn't barely get because of how many people there are to train

barren tapir
#

Like, cadians were know to be great shooters, while people from a feudal world would hardly use a lasgun

barren tapir
final spruce
#

Read what i wrote above

barren tapir
#

And while the schola prigenium teach martial things, it also teach the imperial creed, taking away time from martial training... I know it is a stratch, but catachan is an example of what IG could be, and a catachan, by simply surviving, would be better trained by a SoB

barren tapir
final spruce
#

Its not like the Imperial Creed is mandatory everywhere

barren tapir
#

SoB are more focused on their role, as you said earlier, but for training they are similar to scions, but we also know that some regiments are near the scions training, like the terrax guard, which is similar to an entire regiment of commissars

barren tapir
final spruce
#

The Schola is definitly not run by the Ecclesiarchy

barren tapir
#

Cadian kasrkin had their training facilities only for them, and each tempestus scions regiment had theirs too, schola progenenium is also one source of recruits for both scions and SoB

final spruce
#

It's part of the Ministorum

barren tapir
#

Ministrorum and ecclesiarchy are the same thing, and while the schola is part of the administratum IIRC, or maybe the munitorum, it is run by the ecclesiarchy

final spruce
#

I'm just saying the Schola is literally the equivalent of officer school, which means people in there will receive better training than most, especially since there are fewer students which usually means better training

#

Which is why they can get deeper into training and do different training branches depending of your personnality

#

Or talents

barren tapir
#

Well, that is not the schola progenium

#

Cadia had its own officer's school, the schola progeium are accademies that train orphans of important people that died

final spruce
#

YeTheir job isn't to train in their future jobs yes, but they discover which ones are better fitted for each role

barren tapir
#

Any world with a bit of martial tradition would have their own military school

final spruce
#

But like I said,there is a difference between standard miltiary school and an officer one

barren tapir
#

Schola progenium give a basic training, which may or may be not better than most of imperial worlds

final spruce
#

Especially when the "officer" school is going to train special units

barren tapir
#

Each world would have its own officer's school, if such world has a military tradition, since the officers of the regiments are from that world too

final spruce
#

The Lexicanum page you linked literally says the Progena are traiend so they can join the most rigorous parts of the Imperium

barren tapir
#

A progena can even become a scribe

barren tapir
#

Progena are often earmarked for roles that call for the most rigorous dedication to the Imperium

final spruce
#

Exactly, and apart from the Imperial navy, most roles shown there are elite ones

#

And even so an Imperial navy officer is still someone that needs to be highly competent in his field

barren tapir
#

Never said that they weren't trained to a good standard, i said that saying that it is always better than what IG could have is wrong

#

As many regiments have scions equivalent in them, like the grenadiers from krieg

#

In fact, what make a female progena being sent to the SoB isn't being a great fighter, but being extremely zealous

#

The order of the SoB will handle the necessary training, which isn't as varied as the IG

final spruce
#

I know about the sister part and the last part was essentially what I said yesterday

barren tapir
#

I mean, SoB are amazing defenders when you tell them to defend a church, but aren't really good at infiltration

final spruce
#

While guardsmen being are more trained in the discipline category

barren tapir
#

I acknowledge you defending the IG yesterday, and i said so

#

And all this discussion happened just because i'm growing tired of people thinking that the IG is incompetent and that anyone else is better than it

im sorry i cant hear you over space marines stealing our glory

Stop that

What? The emperor's spears or defending the IG?

So, GW just has something with the sisters... bastards...

barren tapir
#

Yes they are buff women... And it is not even too much heretic to simp for them as they are human... I think it can be called a win-win situation

final spruce
#

Good

barren tapir
#

But more than that, it is a good thing because GW seems to be going forward a balanced representation of both men and women when they aren't necessarily compelled to do so, like with escher being only women... No, we now have mixed gender factions where we can see both genders equally represented...

final spruce
#

Stop saying that or you'll make me believe the time they rework the Infantry box we'll get female heads

thick shadow
#

And I SURPRISED that GW now can sculpt a woman/women!

final spruce
#

I mean sisters are a thing

#

Also the first edition had women sculpts but they were more like slaves etc

I just hope we never seen female Goliaths lol
