Stick to this server, and this channel in particular and you will learn a lot of things about WH40K
i learn most of my lore from lore hammer and here anyway
The Ordo Xenos felt differently, however, and in M36 a dozen Deathwatch Kill-Teams launched a devastating invasion of the Forge World. Stygies VIII was forced to employ radical measures to survive the Deathwatch's attempted purge[5b], and in the aftermath its Tech-Priests grew fearful of the growing record of violations against them. In order to rectify this, they launched a series of stealth attacks, using viral programming, machine canticles, and infiltration methods to destroy or alter the Adeptus Administratum documents and even the datastacks of the Inquisition that contain information about Stygies VIII. Self-perpetuating programs ensure the obfuscation is continuous
From Lexicanum page on Stygies VIII
Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus (8th Edition), pg. 33 — The Quest for Knowledge: Missing from Imperial Records
got it
I have that codex. Just forgot that entry
Btw, if you have any info about Stygies VIII i'm kinda interested
The Mechanicus game has a good bit on it
Especially the Xenarites
And the line between radical and heretek
Thats slaaneshy stuff for you
Loyal Fulgrim is hotter
Yea he's not so hot as a snake
Hence why the Fulgrim clone is the hottest
This is a case where we know it isnt maybelline
Cause the Fulgrim clone was born with it
kek
@odd sparrow Did you see that excerpt I posted of that Dark Eldar who actually got spat back out by Slaanesh. Dude was so nasty even Slaanesh didnt want him
Gonna be passing this nasty elf soul around the realm of chaos indefinitely cus nobody wants it
Eventually u give it to the bottom feeders
Well he got to respawn. Like the Aeldari of old
Wow
,, how does that work
Literally nothing in the warp wanted him
Is this like that one Marvel character?
fuckin uh
Lobo or whatever
who can't die because Heaven rejects him and Hell doesn't want him
or some edgy shit like that
He was basically a meth head (called a stimmhead) who was A. just absolutely pathetic on every level. B. Had no ambitions or wants.
lobo rocks
Basically
lmao, loser
Like even other Dark Eldar looks at him as below even Mon'keighs
Just
dude is pathetic
This particular delf is a mood
but I guess that's neat? not having any wants is, like, the goal of monks, isn't it?
Tfw even the evil gods in ur setting don't want u
Yeah. when a 40k macguffin was activated and everyone saw their deepest want or fears (basically like an imbalance in their souls), the dude just saw himself. As one would look in a mirror. Meaning that, strangely, dude had achieved inner peace
lmao
yeah sounds like a good plan
I feel slaanesh would be more into magic mushrooms or smthn
Nurgle is a peaceful wholesome mushroom man who just likes weed
hrmm
Khorne doesn't know what that syringe contains but he knows it helps with committing homicide
Nurgle is backwater gas station, uncleaned toilet mushrooms
I feel like Nurgle would be a fan of alcohol more than anything
I mean, like, moonshine
Idk maybe, he's got that whole despair vibe going on
Alcohol is used as a cleaning agent. So no
Alcohol with messed up fermentation?
Even worked at a backwater gasstation. I have. It is despair
Gonna be honest, I don't think moonshine cleans anything, save for maybe brain cells
I can imagine
No it is a powerful sanitizer. Its why during the pandemic so many booze factories were easily converted to making sanitizer
Alcohol can be used as a cleaning vibe, hence why medieval surgeons might use hot wine or smthn to try to prevent stuff from getting infected
So ye always keep a bottle of strong wine around if u get hurt, it sanitises and also functions as a painkiller :D
what a shocker
It just works
I'm so surprised
@odd sparrow
Marek, on the other hand, rolled over and fell off the couch, planting his face on the none-too-clean floor.
‘Yeuch.’ There was something on his tongue that he really did not want to identify. He turned his head and saw the boots standing next to him. Slowly, he looked up. Standing over him, with an expression of infinite disgust on his face, was a kabalite warrior. From the markings on his clothes and weapons, he was a warrior of the Kabal of the Pierced Rose.
‘Hello,’ said Marek.
The warrior kicked him.
‘Get up.’
Marek rolled onto his side and then sat up.
‘What do you want?’
The warrior kicked him again. ‘I want you on your feet so that I can get out of this place.’
Marek smiled a twisted, lazy smile up at the warrior. ‘Want some? It’s good…’
The warrior kicked him again. This time in the mouth.```
Marek Krayt, shrugging, got to his feet and followed him, pausing to spit blood on his way out. As Marek checked his teeth – for a stimmhead, he had retained a surprising number of them – he thought that a summons from the Kabal of the Pierced Rose might mean some profit for him, some proper profit. That would be just what he needed. He knew his body could not take much more of the abuse and the general lack of food: Marek paid for stimms but only stole food when he remembered to eat.
Kalabite having none of his shit
Anyway. he got dragged into 40k fuckery and wound up on the wrong side of the Carcharodons. Who had set explosive traps all over the place
At least, he thought he was. He was looking down upon his body – that he could see it at all, when it was buried beneath half a mountain, told him more than he wished to know – and seeing it, twisted, with his skull half crushed and a foot reduced to bloody pulp.
But there had been times in the den when he had floated above his body, looking down upon himself, secure in the golden glow of the bouquet. Perhaps this was a similar dream, a final wringing out of all the chemicals with which he had steeped his body.
Around him, Marek saw the crushed remains of the kabalite warriors, and of the dracon himself, Samnir Lekryr, and from their crushed bodies he saw their souls rise, shrivelled, leathery things of great endurance but ugly beyond reckoning. But then Marek Krayt realised that the souls were not rising, they were being pulled out of their bodies. Sucked out and up and down and away. Sucked through the thin veils of irreality that hid the Dark City from the thirst of She Who Waited for their souls. But death had stripped the veils away. She could see them now, she could feel them, she could call them and bring them to her.```
Although he had no eyes to see, Marek saw, and more clearly than he had ever seen before. She Who Thirsts was swallowing them, swallowing the souls of the damned, and he was sliding down towards the hungry abyss and, despite the psychic scream that he sent up, there was nothing and no one to slow his descent.```
And then he was gone. He was spat forth, too vile even for Her.```
And as the wild, tumultuous ride slowed and he felt again the call of his flesh, he saw through the shields and veils that hid the Dark City from She Who Thirsts: he saw the Supreme Overlord, Asdrubael Vect himself, pace the floor of his great viewing platform, looking out over the jagged towers of the Dark City; he saw through the darkness that shrouded the deeps of the mandrakes to the skull halls of Kheradruakh, the Decapitator, brooding over his heads; he saw the colosseum, filled to its highest level, and the grey giants standing at bay on the arena floor, the grey giants and Dracon Utakk, who had sent him to his fate and his escape.
Marek Krayt fell back into his body and woke, coughing and choking, his mouth filled with dust and his eyes closed by dirt and his lungs clogged with debris. He woke, flailing, fighting, falling.```
‘I’m alive!’```

I really wish AdMech weren't so superstitious and religious.
I just want robots.
I got a nice conversation between Salt and Kruber last night where Salt tells him that if he dies, Kruber can have his sword of office
Kruber gets stumped and wonders why, Salt says "So that others know I liked you."
I paraphrase but that's the jist of it
The voice lines in chaos wastes make it seem like they’re all pals now. Its pretty cool to see them appreciating each other now.
"do you know how these chaos wastes were formed Kruber?"
...
"frogs"
"I heard REAAAAALLY big frogs"
I mean, that's not wrong, but that is hilarious
"that sounds about right" bardin conjectures seriously
also theyve established a sorta timeline
these events are happening right at the beginning of the endtimes books
first thing lohner said to me when i booted the game
after teh update
"theres an Asarai host headed towards sylvannia...I wonder what thats all about?"
noticed that. dig it
i like the voice lines of people asking sienna what god she would be
and bardin ending it with "i don't think anyone needs that wisdom"
bardin settling with the god of "gobbo slaying"
Valaya is my homie 🍻
Lohner mentions that Leoncoeur is dead too, so thats pretty deep into end times now right
Lexicanum dates that as happening during Geheimnisnacht 2525
So that's what, 3 years til the end
ver depress
It's not all bad, we inch ever forward to getting Waylaid 2.0, where we fall into a portal to one of the mortal realms in age of sigmar
the old ones?
They also talk about, as you may have noticed, why we are facing just Rotbloods
what do they get meta and start talking about how lazy the devs are?
kidding
im fucking kidding
bold of u to say that in their own server
And "that golden wall of Gelt's"
Yeah, which is also gone by now

Indeed 
he sounds like an unsanctioned psyker trying to warn his people about what he can see in the warp
but is desperatly confused
Sounds like him alright lmao
What kind of jerk names a town "Middenheim"
That translates to "Home of the dungheap"
Or "Shithole home"
huh
Someone who's honest about their hometown
Ok dumb lore question, when a tech priest becomes a Magos, do they still retain their priesthood. Like if an engiseer becomes a magos are they still an engiseer or at least still have traits of an engiseer?
They are a Magos of whatever specialization they are granted
So an Enginseer would likely be a Magos Dominus
Personally, I've always wondered what kind of nonsense a Magos has to do to be labeled Grand Parasite or Hyper-Rationalist
Thank you so much! Explorator is exactly what I want my magos to be
Was Curze the first Primarch to kill imperial legionnaires? (Besides Russ)
His own what? Legion?
fixed
No
Angron was
Like. That was The first fucking thing Angron did upon meeting his legion
he went on a fucking killing spree throughout his own flagship. Until the War Hounds could lock him in a room he couldnt bust out of
but what about killing marines from other legions? did that happen before curze went berzerk on dorn and his marines and fulgrim's dudes?
Reading The Dark King rn and its kinda nuts that he did this before the Heresy
How tf did they not kill Curze after that
how does he get away with that
Well the first time would have had to been whatever happened with the Lost Legions
I would have to get deep into the lore. Write out a whole timeline with lore book references. But I'll just give the summary. quick and easy:
The 11th Primarch likely sacrificed the 2nd Primarch to become the Chaos God "Malice". Their legions likely came to blows
WAaiiit I thought Russ was ordered to execute them, hence the title Emperor's Executioner
Theres literally no concrete lore on either of the two lost legions @crisp heath
Dont list to whatever the fuck anyone tells you
Any info ranges from hints and speculation to really shitty fan fic
The real truth?
i unno, medic knows their stuff doe... 🤔
Gw wanted 2 legions, one traitor and one loyalist, that could literally be whatever the fuck you wanted
Your own custom legion
Then gw scrapped it because it was stupid and they couldnt make it worl
So they got expunged from imperial record :)
GW is never going to even remotely drop concrete stuff about the lost legions
Except the lore that is
Like the description of the 2nd Primarch
What lore?
Ive literally found nothing about these 2 legions in my time in the hobby that wasnt vague nonsense
from Fulgrim's primarch novel:
He snorted. There was an old Terran saying, about pots and kettles. He'd refrained from sharing it at the time. His quiet brother had no sense of humour that he was aware of. Perhaps that was why he spoke so little."```
Contemplative, prideful, no sense of humor, and quiet
Dorn? Is that you?!?
@crisp heath But yeah. The lore is there. A sentence here. A mention there. You will be hard pressed to find "X legion is like Y". And some people cant stand that. They like lore to be simple. A simple read. When the lore of the lost primarchs and their legions is more of a puzzle. A puzzle with many pieces still missing, but enough to get a good idea of what the image is
Enough for you to make youre own ohwaitgwscrappedthatideaquickrewritelosttoimperialrecordssmile
Christ im being an ass, sorry
Its been a rough long night
Get some sleep
😦
The lost primarchs and legions are not there to be a puzzle.
They are there so that people can create 1 loyalist primarch and legion and 1 traitor primarch and legion
That was the original intent. Yes. But its changed since those early editions
It has changed very little
It has changed quite alot
Like the indications that the Soul Drinkers were founded from loyalist survivors of 1 of the lost legions that the Imperial Fists took in.
And their specific geneseed flaw and chapter relic indicating a legion with a certain aptitude for the warp.
In The First Heretic, when Argel Tal and the other Word Bearers are in the Emperor's gene-labs, they find the 11th's gestation pod. It is mentioned that the 11th was still "innocent and pure" prior to the Primarchs being scattered.
I thought the Soul Drinkers were supposed to be a Thousand Sons successor chapter.
No. There is no indication they are Tsons. Given that the Imperial Fists have never been shown to take in Tsons. And yet the Soul Drinkers are 2nd founding "Imperial Fists". Who were later proven to not have IF geneseed.
But it is mentioned that the Imperial Fists took in lost legion
They are pre-4th founding, not 2nd.
They are 2nd founding. Which...shocker....is pre-4th founding
No, they believed themselves to be 2nd founding.
But their actual founding is unknown, as their own records only dated back to the 4th founding.
And yeah, all the primarchs were innocent and pure before they were scattered. The words of Word Bearers there are meaningless.
What about all the stuff in Prospero Burns?
I don't recall mentions of the lost legions in Prospero Burns
I pointed this out earlier lol
When Lorgar is like "Is he gonna send russ on me like he did to the other ones?"
Yeah, and people keep doing it and insisting that it's true.
Its not said that it was just a "belief"
Its just said They were 2nd founding
Crimson Fists. Black Templars… Soul Drinkers.```
...
You DO realize that THOSE Soul Drinkers actually WERE Imperial Fists, right?
The Soul Drinkers were discontinuous at several points.
They were only shown extinct, and then refounded in the Ultima Founding
Oh, yeah, that's basically the only confirmed things about the lost primarchs. Emps ordered their deaths, and that they be expunged from all records. It's not confirmed if they were actually killed or not.
The mention of Prospero Burns was later shown to be Russ referencing the "Night of the Wolf". When the Space Wolves were sent to bring the World Eaters to heel
😮
I like my lost legion lore. But when I looked into that, it was shown to be unrelated
When did he say that
Im looking through my copy of First Heretic
This is the mention of Russ in context to the lost legions
‘I believe so. Don’t ask what sides were taken by whom, for I do not know where most of them stood. Russ was with you, as was Horus. In fact, it was the first time the Wolf King and I have agreed on anything of import.’
‘Leman Russ spoke in my favour?’ Lorgar laughed. ‘Truly, we live in an age of marvels.’
Magnus didn’t share the amusement. His lone eye was a deep, arctic blue as it fixed upon Lorgar. ‘He did. The Space Wolves are a spiritual Legion, in their own stunted and blind way. Fenris is an unmerciful cradle, and it breeds such things in them. Russ knows that, though he lacks the intelligence to give it voice. Instead, he swore that he’d already lost two brothers, and had no desire to lose a third.’
‘Two already lost.’ Lorgar looked back to the city. ‘I still recall how they—’
‘Enough,’ warned Magnus. ‘Honour the oath you took that day.’```
i'm trying to recall some info that may as well be ancient and lost to me, but i know i had it at one point, i just can't seem to find it again
would anyone know the name of the navigator house that's known for having had one of its ancestors attempting to chart a course through the warp to another galaxy? i could have sworn this was a thing, i recall even theorycrafting an edgy space marine chapter around the fact that they existed, but i'm starting to doubt my memory on this one
That sounds vaguely familiar as well
I know some Rogue Traders tried to sail out into the space between galaxies. So maybe a link there
see, that's the thing: i could have swore that i found them in the rogue trader books beck when i was planning on playing a navigator in a game, but now that i'm doing the same a second time, i'm looking through the core book and the navigator splatbook, and it's all coming up empty
so it WAS mercator
i had a hunch, but i must've missed that bit when i saw the start of that section was the same as what was on the wikis
Its in Rogue Trader: The Navis Primer, pg 18
made me think there was nothing new to find there, much appreciated for the catch
(look at what we can accomplish when we work together)
more like what you can accomplish on my behalf, but the sentiment is appreciated for sure
lol
i kept going back to 'cadmus' but i knew that was a knight house, so i just kinda got lost wholesale, i think
Funny thing? It's impossible to leave the galaxy via the warp.
I'm not talking about the horrors around the ghost stars.
It's that as near as anybody can tell the warp doesn't actually go outside of the galaxy
Yeah ive read on that, the warp as we understand only encompasses the sol galaxy
Some rogue traders used the calm tides of the warp to jump to the edge and venture into interstellar space however
And never came back
Well... Yeah
Interstellar space is enormous beyond reasoning for travel
The necrons are hinted at having spread further but i can't remember where that was said
Or it could be that they were trying to before they created fucking pocket dimensions
The Necrons used to have proper FTL, but that was retconned as being technology they lost when they suffered absolutely no setbacks or loss of technology as a result of each having perfect backups of the sum total of their technology.
We do know they can still use dullman gates
Now they have rare space fold drives which they can't make because they never forgot how to make them.
They used to all have that.
Oh, also: You can only enter or leave the warp inside a system's gravity well. Attempting to do so in the deep void will not work.
However, we do not know if all system gravity wells support warp translation, as we only know about systems which are warp-accessible.
The Imperium settled "every rock it came across" during the great crusade, resulting in it having "a million worlds"
There are around 100 billion systems in the milky way. Humanity claims to have 1/100,000th of all systems in the galaxy, and that's believed to be most of warp-accessible space.
if genestealers want to steal genes why do they go to spacehulks where there are fewer organisms?
I think it's so they can just wait for passing ships to infest?
isnt a massive radioactive drifting piece of trash that goes in and out of the warp unpredictably worse at that than just sitting inside of a dead ship in a populated part of the galaxy
Yeah but I'm assuming since they got no other real way of hitchhiking onto a ship
That may not be a bad way of travelling for a little while
Plus Imperium has interest in those hulks
So they are eventually going to get a ride
Aside from that, no real idea
They just like vibing in someone's trash
It's actually a plothole stemming from GW wanting to make genestealers nids.
Making them intelligent agents of an alien empire makes the "stay in space hulks" behavior utterly absurd.
But when they were an independent Xenomorph expy it made total sense for them to be a thing that just kinda drifted around and infested things that came by.
It's not absurd though, its one of the more smooth transitions when it came to jeanstealers being turned into nids.
The imperium from the dawn of time as a faction almost ALWAYS explores spacehulks, and its not like the Stealers will die from old age any time soon, they just got time and they can wait forever if need be.
Not always, sometime they are deemed too much dangerous and destroyed
But 3 out of 4 they will explore them yes
Yeah the only time marines get involved is if they got some actual business with something the hulk is carrying.
Genestealers don't die from old age, but they can die from starvation.
plot holes and space hulks go hand in hand together
The optimal strategy for genestealers is to send last-gen hybrids out on ships to infiltrate planets and start new infestations that way. Attempting to have full-blood genestealers infiltrate is much too risky.
Lurking in spacehulks is a poor strategy because it can be countered by basically any kind of quarantine protocol.
Again. It's not a plothole lol.
And again no
quarantines are even brought up a lot in few fluff materials and they dont really matter when again its a giant goddamn hulk.
Compared to a faction like the Tau the Imperium's carelessness when it comes to scans/checkups for infection is what causes so many genestealers to hitch a ride from hulks to actual planets to begin with.
The ships that make up a space hulk have supply stocks onboard from their former crew. Often have mini-ecosystems in them due to their scale. And due to all the ships smashed together giving off a variety of different signals. Its harder for nearby worlds to detect any nid onboard before they are launching small sneakibeaki landing crafts to worlds that the hulk passes by
Not to mention that the ships tends to have many of their systems still running, allowing for a surprisingly hospitable and comfortable enviroment as well as functional void shields, weapon systems, geller fields, and whatever archeotech maybe aboard
If you are a small, weak, piddly genestealer group. A space hulk is a great place to grow your numbers in private. Without risk of outside forces wiping you out before you become legion
I always thought of it as infiltrated Patriarcs were on a ship that got swept up in the warp and end up in the space hulk and act on instinct to infect the surviving crew and the ecosystem
And sometimes said hulk will pop out of the warp and drop onto or chunks onto a planet
Thats part of it
The problem is that while pure strain genestealers don't age, hybrids DO.
So if they don't maintain a permanent supply of pure humans, they will eventually find themselves completely unable to reproduce.
You do know that its usually purestrain genestealers on space hulks, yes?
The ones who can't reproduce on their own? Yes.
What are you even arguing
That genestealers being endemic to basically every spacehulk made plenty of sense until they decided to make them nids, at which point it stopped being reasonable behavior.
I'm pretty sure the 3rd generation hybrids will have more than one kid (pure strain)
They can have more than one kid, sure, but they're still mortal.
And hulks can spend centuries in the warp before winding up back in the materium.
Generally with either no Geller fields, or with Geller fields that turn on and off randomly.
So, you know, random demons just popping into existence.
Time scale in the warp is different than real space. What would be a few decades for them could be centuries to millenial out of the warp
I meant subjective centuries.
So you're arguing realistic genealogy in a setting where you have to literally travel through Hell to get from one planet to another
I think there is plenty of room for suspension of disbelief
Nah its makes sense. As it allows the Genestealers a relatively safe way to spread across the galaxy
far more rapidly than the hive fleet can manage
Also the only reason they were on spacehulks to begin with is because GW just wanted to parody Alien
^
so its better that they just made them nids instead of some random ripoff alien race like in the beginning
Some people forget that half the shit 40k does is a reference to other shit
Yeah genestealers literally had chestbursters and stuff before their retcon
Like that one guy yesterday who got super salty that a Catachan managed to avoid a Tau auspex scan, by covering himself in mud. That was a reference to Predator
Space hulks are a garbage way to do that, though. Just slip last-gen hybrids into a planet's imperial guard tithe, or into the crew of a rogue trader.
genetic testing.
If people are doing genetic testing then space hulks are an EVEN WORSE option, because everybody who comes BACK from the hulk would be tested.
Space Hulks are actually a very good way to do it. So long as you dont care where you end up/which planet you invade
Its why Ghaz Ghull chose a Space Hulk as his method of travel when launching his first WAAAGGGHHHH
... He chose a space hulk because he wanted to fight demons in between fighting other things, though.
Space hulks usually have 'orbits' that they drift in. They visit the same places over and over.
Less like a ship adrift at sea, and more like the worst public transit ever
Ding dong
" 'Ruiner of Worlds' now entering ... Armageddon system"
In his booming voice, Ghazghkull assured the quavering greenskins that this was a sign from Gork and Mork. It was telling them that it was time to leave Urk behind, that it was time for the galaxy to feel the might of the growing WAAAGH!.
As the tides of the Warp roiled and twisted, they had also deposited an enormous Space Hulk into realspace, vomiting forth the conglomerate voidcraft in the Zornian System. The Hulk now drifted in Urk's orbit, blocking out the light from the flickering sun.
Im pretty sure it was just because he found the hulk as the best method of transportation to take all his boyz with him to anywhere the warp puked them out to
That's fair.
the demons were really just a bonus fighting round in-between wherever they went
Alas, as is so often the case, the Space Hulk was not unoccupied. As soon as the first wave of Orks landed they were attacked by daemonic entities. Burna Boyz, cutting their way through bulkheads, had to suddenly shift from slicing metal to defending themselves against a tide of Daemons.
That was Tuska Daemon Killa
Welcome to the world of a game with an ever-evolving narrative
Yeah, I got them confused for a moment.
Anubis: It's also the fact that "Everything is canon, but not necessarily true"
Except for Draco, which is explicitly not canon.
And also explicit.
(And, like, Illiyan Nastase. RIP)
And thought while reading it. "Man this is weird"
Protip: If your Callidus can only morph into genestealers, it's because they're a genestealer.
Looking back at The Inquisitor Trilogy... the TTS Podcast episode about it is soooooo true
I gave my cousin who wants to get into the hobby some of my old books I specifically kept that one
The one from the 90s or the Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin series?
remember that one night lords short where the callidus transforms into a chair
i remember saying outloud in the bagel shop "What the fuck" when i was listening to that
The Draco trilogy
I got the Ravenor omnibus but I realized really quick that I was essentially reading part two of a series
Im so glad that shit got decanonized
That was so 80s / 90s sci-fi weird shit
1st edition
it was very weird
Its on the otherside of the "canon" wall. Nothing in 1st edition is canon unless brought back in a newer publication
Like that half-eldar
its just his name but its still a MASSIVE wink
like this level of massive
even if anything is brought back it'd be heavily edited lol
Well there was a half-xenos Astartes
And squats
Calas Typhon
Khorn orks, Chaos genestealers
No I mean in actual 40k
Calas Typhon (aka Typhus) is half-xenos
His father was one of the xenos overlords of Barbarus
Never forget the brave Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau
As medic said
if that guy is brought back its like 3 lawsuits waiting to happen
worth it
Have you guys ever watched Black Pants Legion and see his extra videos where he, a Mechwarrior voice actor, and a bunch of others riff on Battletech art from the early editions?

Fantastic voice there. He could probably be an excellent substitute for Jon St John
His Battletech lore videos are great
Chaos genestealer is still canon though... Well, in only one occurrence...At least for 7 edition codex genestealer cult...
Ye they're still mentioned in the newest codex
If ur talking about the ones who get nurgle converted in the warp
Yes, i was referring to them
"None of us like Curze, and he appears to despise us all."
Alpharius is the nicest dude ever wtf
YO WHAT
H'rud
nay
Wormy Lads
yea
Oh right
also they might be superbeings from an alien empire
What filthy xenos doesn't
Well they had/have an empire themselves. And they may/may not have been puppeting the Rangdan Empire
So, superbeing from an alien empire it is
They are just massive of mind-controlling slugs
You saying that doesn’t qualify them for superbeing status?
As super as they would get wrecked by a flamer
Sure
Its just another 40k xenos.
When did Alpharius fight the Slaught?
I know the Alpha Legion were in the background of the Randgan Xenocides, but Alpharius wasnt with them yet (yes I know it says he was in ||his primarch book. but I dont trust anything written in that book||)
In da primarch book
Well I don't trust anything not in that book
Hydra Dominatus
Since
A. It directly conflicts with atleast 5 other books which are presented in a more objective manner.
B. It starts with "I am Alpharius. This is a lie." and ends with "I am Alpharius. This was a lie."
It's a lie because he's telling what Omegon was up to but saying it was him
So saying it's a lie is also a lie
except it still has several conflicts. Like with Omegon's memories seen in Serpent Beneath
Fake news memories
slaugth cool doe!
It was genetic memory, seen from Omegon's blood. Which is more likely? That he somehow recoded his DNA (which has never seen to be a thing in 40k)....or, in his primarch book, he lied?
The twins are so deceitful even their blood tells lies
and so does their primarch book
Or any book about them
This one more than the others because its told from a first person perspective. Its not an 3rd person narrator. Its Alparhius/Omegon speaking
The narrators for the other books are all AL assets too
Otherwise they wouldn't be able to finish their stories without mysteriously disappearing
what do orks think of admech?
d-do orks think the admech are cute 😳
?
Since I speak for the great green gods and all of Ork kind in general I think I can say that Orks do not think admech are cute
They make for some good scrap once you peel away the fleshy bits but they aren’t overly cute
They mostly think of them as metal humies that gather up scrap but never put them to good use
so its a case of being the schoolyard bully and going "Oi, I'm gonna be takin' that now"
“‘Dat planet,’ Mogrot Redtoof said, looking out of a viewport, ‘is made of metal.’
Ufthak nodded sagely. Back before they’d boarded the humie ship, he and Mogrot had been rivals–two warriors jockeying for position under the command of Badgit Snazzhammer.
Thanks to a series of events involving a large robot, several fatalities and a head transplant courtesy of Dok Drozfang, Ufthak’s undamaged head had ended up on the decapitated Snazzhammer’s undamaged and significantly larger body.
After a brief meeting of the minds via a headbutt, Mogrot had settled back into a role as Ufthak’s right-hand ork. That didn’t mean that Ufthak trusted him, of course, but at least he was fairly certain Mogrot wouldn’t try to shank him unless he was already wounded.
‘Looks like a humie mekboy place,’ Ufthak said. ‘Humie mekboy ship, coming from a humie mekboy planet. Makes sense to me.’
‘Why do dey do dat, anyway?’ Mogrot asked. ‘Make dere planets all shiny so ya know dey’ve got flashy stuff ya might want, and den when ya go to get it, dey get all annoyed an’ try to kill ya?’
‘Dat’s da problem wiv humies,’ Ufthak opined knowingly. ‘Dey ain’t logickal.’”
basically the usual "haha its funny cuz orkz"
wha
is this one head, one body? and yet 2 minds? Orks are fucky wucky, huh
also, what would that even look like, a small head stapled onto, presumably, the stump of a big body?
No. Its two Orkz. Just 1 got the Ghazgul treatment. Where he got his head chopped off, but a quick thinking Dok stapled it onto the body of a bigga Ork
That’s big finkin’
OHHHH
I GET IT
Snazzhammer was their boss, but he got his head chopped off, and Ufthak's head was put on top
I get it now
sorry, mixed up the names
So now we have an ork with an undersidez head compared to its body??
It sound like the shoulder syndrome some SM had
More than 1. Ghazghul is like that now too
They're good looting
Orkz are confused by Admech
They wonder why the Admech make their planet's all flashy, showing off that they have the best loot, and then the Admech get mad when Orkz show up for a fight
is there a difference between an astropath and a navigator
A syllable
Yes, a navigator is one that gaze upon the immaterium with its third eye and guide a ship trough it
An astropath is a guy who send and receive psychic messages trough the warp
It is reasonable to think that the astropath is something that the imperium created, while navigators are stated to be created during the Age of Tech, something that i find dumb and i am waiting for a retcon
why is that dumb?
also: navigators have a specific mutation that was deliberatly enhanced/ introduced at some point in the DAOT
astropaths are psykers who are trained to do a specific job
Because i think that in the great Age of Tech, when there is no astronomican, the creation of a mutant which can use a eye to see into the immaterium make no sense... While their ability is psychic they aren't psykers and i would like to know from where the humans in the Age of Tech got knowledge of psychic stuff since psykers weren't really common...
Oh, yeah, and then what about the gene diffusion, if they breed with a normal human the gene get lost so, where they were during the age of strife on terra?
all good points
I hadn't thought of those
And if they have been sheltered by a warlord, why? Since they don't give you any support in the fight for terra?
maybe they were shetered by the big E?
He wasn't active from the start, and he wasn't omnipotent at the start of his conquest too
also why would they only be on Terra? its not like all of the navigators who would have been out there at the moment Slaanesh was born would have been able to neatly congregate on 1 planet
I know that but what if he just put them all in some convenient caves or something?
Although it could said that they reached terra from the cold space and they were nomadic families that lived in starships, well, then how they survived the crazy warp storms that rocked the galaxy?
that would be bs
He should have foreseen the birth of slaneesh and managed to convince those mutants to take shelter somewhere on terra, hoping that no other warlord would discover them
that could make sense
by 40k standards
I was going to say that it make no sense, but you are right, it could make sense by WH40K standards whacky lore about those times
And it would be something that avail the theory of big e being an ass, since he knew slaneesh would have caused quite a rough gender reveal party and said nothing to anyone... Except the navigators
Ok, look: Following Old Night Big E wasn't on Terra until after the warpstorms around it cleared up.
He was probably nursing a wicked hangover after the bender where he helped fuck Slaanesh into existence in the middle of the eye of terror, and took something like 5,000 years to hitchhike home.
As far as navigators surviving warpstorms go? The warp can't touch deep void. If they were in deep space outside of a system's area of influence then they could ride out the warpstorms simply by keeping their geller fields on.
Oh, and btw, if the navigators were made during the Age of Tech, then why they aren't really widespread in the galaxy? I mean, they wouldn't have been produced on terra only, especially since they should have been created in m22, 1 millenium before the start of age of strife and before the cybernetic revolt too
Yeah, it doesn't really make much sense
Helping Slaanesh be birthed into existence?
Big E is half-elf?
Nah
But it's canon that he had a LOT of kids over the years, so the 15,000 years he was unaccounted for were most likely spent living it up.
Yep
That would literally barely effect Slaanesh's birth
I am aware.
Eldar were beating him in that game lol
Yes.
But Emps is extremely self-absorbed, and saw the basic nature of the Eldar as something for humanity to aspire to.
He wanted humans to all be natural psykers and bend the warp to their will, like the Eldar
And he wanted to make the webway his own.
thats been rewritten as of stuff like the last church
Its dumb and makes no sense and i hate it but now he was always omnipotent
todays topic: space marine poops
how often do they poop
how big is their poops
how long can they hold their poops
do they get hemorrhoids
Discuss now
no
yes
once every 3 days
it comes out as mostly water so say a litre
probably a week or so
no
marines poop inside armour and it is recycled
Thank you alfie. I love you
Weren't a bunch of sensei killed recently?
I don't think they are a thing in 40k. Since that came from the Inquistior novel. Which is based in like 1e
Yeah sensei is old lore iirc
@vivid verge how's the noctis labyrinth?
The angles they pain my eyes
oh
generic eldritch location where somehow the geometry fucks with your perceptions
yeah and also the dragon of mars right?
It's a real place on mars too lol
Noctis Labyrinthus (Latin for 'the labyrinth of night') is a region of Mars located in the Phoenicis Lacus quadrangle, between Valles Marineris and the Tharsis upland. The region is notable for its maze-like system of deep, steep-walled valleys. The valleys and canyons of this region formed by faulting and many show classic features of grabens, ...
Damn it i cant unsee that now
its not a bad idea either
even the "throat" looks like it has been covered in soot from blowing fire like a dragon
in 40k it would be like planetary scar tissue wher the Emperor sealed the Void Dragon in there
well only a bold and or stupid heretek would
and good luck finding one of those on Mars
unless the HH serise goes back over it
YOOO WAIT THEY RELEASED ANOTHER CIAPHAS AUDIOBOOK!?!?!
Ngl, black library audiobooks is on a fucken roll
There's always Gaunt's Ghost or Ciaphas Cain if you need more reading material
i have tons of 40k books to catch up on, but i guess HH is nearly done for me
Like which ones!
i might do every gaunts ghost book
the carchardon books
the og night lord book
brutal kunnin
mephiston books
the two cain books i havent read
By Totally Legal Ways of Purchase i hope
i buy my black library books actually >:)
with my audible subscription, the audiobooks are very underpriced
and the ebooks on black library are fairly priced imo
Yeah jokes aside I have lots of legit BL books i bought
its just that turkish liras are getting fucked
so books are pretty expensive on my end
Infinite and the Divine! And no, I will not stop shilling it anytime books come up
oh yeah u have a totally reasonable excuse
yeah ebooks fucking rock dude
Yeeeep, also listen to Undead man
İnfinite and Divine should be on your list, one of THE best xenos books in the last decade
aight aight
i have no draw to necrons outside of oldcrons
BUT
I've said that about SO many factions before
"I dont care about word bearers at all"
then i read first heretic
"i hate ultramarines"
then i read know no fear
"not really into world eaters" then betrayer
word bearers are still crybabies though
who might the Marines Malevolent be from?
considering love for artillery and treating guardsmen and civilians like thralls to be slaughtered id say very similar to Iron Warriors, Silver Skulls could be the purists who follow good guy strats, eventually though the uncaring and bitter nature has seeped from the gene seed producing the malevolent as an offshoot chapter.
Id buy it cause the idea of Loyalist Marines from Traitor legions being inducted to the Ultramarines just prior to first and second founding so Guiliman could split them into their own chapters separate from his Blue Bois too interesting a subject/theory.
Not all traitor legion loyalist successors stem from the Ultramarines. To my knowledge, there really is only 1 that did that: the Silver Skulls. The rest were just traitor legion loyalist companies who managed, in one way or another, to convince the Imperium of their loyality. But then had their geneseed records redacted, just incase someone got narky and decided that just being genesons of traitors is cause enough to kill them
surely there is not even 1 radical faction in the imperium that would do that
so i heard konrad kurze is back ?
How! Hes dead!
Imagine being killed by dying lmao
Not that I am aware. His likely avoided being pulled into the warp after his execution thanks to a spirit stone in his crown, but his body is still dead
probably just thinking at this point
might very well be that some chaos marine has his spirit stone
''Dont you fucking get closer, i got Conrad on speed dial you piece of shit ultramarine''
Curze would kill any Chaos corrupted Night Lords tho
He didn't like them even when not chaos corrupted, i cannot imagine what he would do to those who fell to chaos and became uber super duper criminals
^
Curze in general was just an edgelord
Theres a reason he hated Corvus more than any of his siblings lol
He could have improved himself but never did lol
so good riddance on getting decapitated
everyone being okay with planets like t hat existing and mister turbo judge dredd just going ''Yo... thats klnda fucked up tho.''
yeah but thats the way it is
''Okay let me go and enforce that then''
He had all laws in his skull, just no moral compas to begin with
He was a dictonary on law
Minus the moral compass the humans had
And in the end he did bring peace
through less then savory means
He hated Corvus because he was jealous of him. As Corvus was what he wanted to be. Stable, noble, able to bring actual justice instead of constantly losing control of his mind and killing people for funsies
The shadows loved corax

Its so hilarious too since Corvus is basically a Good Konrad
Curze deserved everything that happened to him
Corvus made a similar observation. That he and Curze were two sides of the same coin. And wondered if he would have ended up like Curze (and Curze had been the noble one) had they landed on the other's world
Also dont forget curze’s foresight was another huge factor in his development
yup
Dude knew what was going to happen and the one time he felt the courage to actually tell someone to try and stop the heresy, they betrayed him
Fulgrim was such an idiot for telling DORN of all people
The problem is. Curze couldnt tell what will be and what could be changed. So he just assumed all his visions would be. Until Sang smacked some sense into him
Maybe he shouldnt have been a psycho beforehand then, maybe they wouldnt have treated it like a Timmy Fell Down the Well problem
also yeah that too
Fulgrim was such an idiot for telling DORN of all people
Yeah thats true lel
a very important task
“Hey curze told me a secret, ima tell the one dude who’s gonna react the worst to it”
Fulgrim probably did it as a prank to both. Just trying to cause drama because he was bored
Tru
But Sang is best boi and couldnt bring himself to do it
I liked in prince of crows where sevetar is describing curze’s fighting style
When he’s fighting Lion for the second time
He says something like he looked like a marionette being pulled by invisible strings, just falling over and jerking back with a strike
''Papa dorn, horus is a bitch''
Dvorgin blinked, seeming to come back into himself. The mask of Mordian discipline slipped easily back over his face, but his eyes exhibited such pain. ‘I am sorry, my lord. I would say it is simply tiredness, but…’ Dvorgin tailed off. He took a sharp breath, and forced himself to look into Achallor’s eyes. ‘With the greatest respect, Lord Achallor, you ask the impossible.’
Achallor looked down at the man in growing surprise. The general stared back, his eyes dark-rimmed with exhaustion. Achallor could see it had cost him a lot to speak up, but now that he had forced the words out, he would say his piece. ‘Your warriors may be suited to such unrelenting operations, my lord, but mine are not. Nor are the Phyroxians. Nor, I suspect, are the Battle Sisters. Mordian discipline is a wonderful resource but we are not indefatigable. My soldiers have seen weeks of constant battle. We have lost more in the few days since your arrival than in the month before. You spend our lives as though they have no other meaning and Throne knows that is your right, but what do we have to show for it? Stretched supply lines, exhausted reserves, and a half-ruined bastion. Now you ask us to march at once upon the enemy’s greatest stronghold without food, or rest, or a chance to mourn our fallen, and to send others into certain death below the ground. I condemn my soldiers to a pointless end. To do so would be an inexcusable waste in the sight of the Emperor. Strike me down for my insubordination if you must, my lord, but I speak only the truth as I see it.’ ```
Dawn of Fire: The Gate of Bones. A Mordian General speaking his mind to a Custodian
Chad IG vs virgin custodians
The custodian then make the sign of the aquila to that general
Does Ogryns ever get executed for something if a group is called for heresy because of the Inquisiton's suspicions?
well ogryns can be corrupted by chaos so i dont see why not
I can image a scene like a 40k version of "Of Mice and Men", with the Ogryn being Lenny
The Ogyrn just keeps petting Squats too hard.
Think this would be best in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM-J794dVow
Beautiful story
That guy was such a fucking madlad
I finished the book last night
Does the Inquisition outrank the Adeptus Custodes? Like could an Inquisitor walk up and be like "I need to go mess around in the throne room" and they just let him in?
I would say no, because of how many heretical inquisitors there have been
but i have no actual evidence to support this
Theres good topics about it but a Custodian outranks everyone in the Imperium.
An inquisitor almost holds the same rank because they ""answer"" only to the Emperor but obviously custodians get more leverage since they were literally made by the guy
The custodes were given an "I do whatever I want" card by the Emperor, the inquisition was given a "do this" card by Malcador which they have since turned into a "do whatever we want and get away with it" card so yes the Custodes outrank the Inquisition
And if we had to use layman's terms, a custodian can just murder an inquisitor with a skull cracking slap and nobody could do anything.
^
Where do Primarchs fit into that equation?
So a Custodian could beat an Inquisitor?
but yh the CO of the entire inquisition could be standing in a corridor, the lowest custodian could walk along and the inquisitor would get out of the way
Yep.
I think Guilliman can ask Custodes to do things but he can order an inquisitor
Interesting
the Primarch thing can also be brought down to "Do the custodians respect the said Primarch enough to do what they want."
Isn't there a higher tier of the Custodian?
So "hey Shield captain get me another drink will ya?" would be met with "f*ck off Russ"
the Custodes have ranks like Shield Captain and their CO is the Captain General
- Captain-General – Chief Custodian to the Emperor
- Custodian Tribunate
- Tribune
- Proconsul
- Prefect
- Lictor
- Supreme Castellan
- Aquila Commander
- Shield-Captain
– Custodian
do they not have a version of sgt? looks like it goes from 0 to Captain
bizzare
then again Custodes are just going to Custode however they want to
Shield-Captain — Squad Leader. These are the most veteran, well-knowledged, and experienced Custodians. The rank exists concurrently with other Custodian titles such as Prefect, Lictor, Proconsul, and Tribune.
From the lexi so i just assume they dont really need one since guys of this rank are so numerous
so a Captain is like a sgt. ooooooooooooooooooooook then
I thought that Karstodes had a really high rank among the Custodes when he talked about being a shield capt in TTS
guess I was wrong
Yeah it makes sense for denegerates like those guys
lmao
Kitten's trip to Mars DOES show off some other ranks among his buddies tho
though iirc it wasnt that many
I was too distracted by Protean politics
lmao

Truly a battle for the ages
top 10 rappers that Eminem REALLY would be too afraid to diss
"I know something about you. You went to Schola Progenium that's a private school!"
ded reference
Trajan valoris, the captain general of custodes prohibited the ordo xenos to enter the sanctum of a genestealer patriarch, and even then a custodian can kinda order inquisitors if they are in the imperial palace... Outside the imperial palace the authority is not as absolute, still they are among the highest ranking people on all terra
There is only one force that they cannot officially command, and that force is the Silent Sisterhood, as they only have the right and duty to walk the imperial palace freely
even if its outside its still a stupid idea to refuse a custodes
But the custodian being the custodian they rarely command others
No. Custodes can do whatever in and around the Throne.
Inquisitors can't do shit to them. They're entirely immune to such politicking.
That doesn't stop the Inquisition from trying, I'm sure.
im guessing having a guardian spear pointed at your face will make them reconsider real quick
i doubt the spear ever has to be pointed
the slight reminder of ''youre suree?'' might be all they need
If any of the Custodes does the bidding of an Inquisitor, that is because the Custodes either personally respects that specific Inquisitor, because it's something they independently believe to be worth doing, or because it's part of a plan
An Inquisitor can't order Custodes to pass the salt.
shit not even a primarch can command a custodes
most likely not
In that case if i create one il just say it was fabius lol
This.
That guy says fuck it and does it all, so go nuts
I love that Fabius is I genius but also a comic book villain at the same time
Stories where he's the main character Tactical genius
stories where he's a villain
Next time Guiliman... next time...
also the fact that hes an atheist lol
even when he came face to face with slaanesh he was like "NOPE NUH UH"
Lol
I love in the one book where they pretend to be loyalists to infiltrate a planet and one of the guys in his squad is like "This is so degrading" and he just responds "Just keep waving like a good servant of the corpse Emperor"
Yep
What book is that lol
I need the book name lmao
I think it was Clonelord
Did i read the words space marine Ogryns?!
but ya i dont think they could cuz theyed proabably start suffering under thier own mass and be less effctive
cuz in some stuff tehy imply that happens to marines who happen to grow bigger then they should
but theres also whats his name in the ragnar blackmane series whos suppose to be fuckhuge
I love how in the Uriel Ventris books his best friend Pasanius was too big for standard power armor so they modified some Terminator chest piece for him
oh shit could that be who im thinking of i just remeber this guy having something up with his metabolism so hed be stuffing his face till he was red
and being a general badass
yeh, i recall hearing about a couple of different spess mahreens just being so big that they needed to wear modified terminator armor
good stuff
Only one that was so big as to require custom armour was Ranulf of the Space Wolves
While Pasanius's power armour was modified with parts from termie armour. It wasnt due to his size. It was just they had some parts that were deemed too damaged for use in a termie suit and were like "Hey, Pasanius. Want these?"
pretty sure Abaddon also required chonkier armor due to his larger-than-normal size
There is an entire chapter from the Cursed Founding that is ENORMOUS
Sons of Antaeus. Caused all sorts of logistical issues because nothing fit any of them.
Where was that said?
the penguins of madagascar
want to be dominated? meme
heh
i love how those four little dudes are basicly what everyone took away from those movies and the show oh and i guess king julian too
is there any site that archived all the 1d4chan articles?
yeah i mean i think the webdudes are more focused on trying to battle the hackerdudes
before he fixes all that
did they lose anything? i haven't noticed any sign of anything going missing, just the site itself having gone down for a while for no reason i'm aware of
just assumed the host missed a payment or something
it was some altright guys going insane cause idk feminism or something i think
but i dont think anything was lost
Wait whut?...oh christ
its really not worth looking into
i asked around in a.... certain board and they were just being so vague about who was taking it down because they couldn't just outright say "we hate women and minorities so we're trying to take it down"
But like
Its 1d4 chan
A site that hates women and minorites
Their slur usage is atrocious
yeah i think like some people were editing them out or something
and that was the start of "a literal culture war" or something, according to them
and the owner was like "I dont care"
it's invariably gonna be p channy yeah
coming out of /tg/ then like,, yeah
but its a 4chan wiki, who cares enough to spend days creating tools to destroy the website over and over
its just so.... mind boggling to me
yeah i just stay away from the pages i know are gonna be horrible
i cant imagine what the sjw page must look like lol
Its strat page is frustratingly good
☝️ this 100%
Everything else
Die
At best its horrid old joke lore inaccuracies that are still spread to this day thanks to them
those pages spell it out in understandable ways, helps you build a good foundation and gives you some fun ideas/concepts to play with
And at worst its just horrible shit said about other people
Looking at the writer's pages on that
christ man, people are really fucking mean sometimes
Goonhammer has good strat pages without slurs
yeah i havent found much i like about it
I tried looking up kill team stuff
and its just nonstop negativity
"kill team isnt a good game.... but i mean i guess if you want to play..."
"kill team sucks..... but i mean..."
clicks on goonhammer's CSM killteam page
"dont play csm, theyre not competetive"
"their weapons suck, dont play csm"
LIKE BROH CHILL
this is because the types of ubernerds who write this stuff are usually overly negative weirdos
or people who care way too much about winning and not enough about enjoying yourself
Not sure which pages u saw that on
I read thru most of their stuff on craftworlds and cults
Its called started competing for a reason
They also have starting out guides for noncomp
Yeah I have thought maybe I just got to the wrong pages tbh
this is the article that annoyed me
ill click around the website though soon
man, i'm still annoyed about craftworlds having almost no plastic models
dunno im just glad its up, since its not indexed on google rn the first results where people saying it had been taken down so it spooked me
I just read all the lore pages n go haah funnoy or huh thats interesting
sometimes what the fuck
i do feel like alotta the pages need updates though
cuz some of the ones that would seem still relevaent havent been updated in years really or at least not enough to really notice
you'll get your craftworld model when you FIX THIS DAMN DOOR
lol
So the humans and the Eldari were both at their peak at around the same time?
The Eldari hit their peak like 65 million years ago and then basically stayed there
How did the Eldari see this human expansion? How great was humanity in comparison to the Eldari during the dark age?
It infuriated them
Not really, at the Age of Tech of mankind the eldar were already in decline
Because Humanity offered the Eldar aid
Was there any physical conflict between them?
I don't know
But from what we know of DAoT ships, I don't think the Eldar could have actually done anything about it.
They had a non agression pact I think
so maybe some Eldar did and the rest thought "oh fuk"
they were too occupied having knife orgies to care about the bald monkeys
Yes, they fought some wars, but since both were extremely capable they then decided that it was best to be non agrresive
Also the eldar didn't really cared much about humans expansions, they were busy doing questionable things in their cities
As for who were most expanded well, the old eldar empire core became the eye of terror (thanks Perturabo for that name), so it is reasonable to think that humans were extremely more expanded
Canonically, Eldar covered the galaxy
True, but that was a lot of time ago, even before the humans started to explore space
And as i said, they were already in decline at the onset of the human Age of Tech
Yeah they were still advanced but basically turned into lazy slobs, even leaving the aspect of fighting wars to robots and such.
And since it is stated that the craftworlders did escaped the eldar empire before the fall i assume that as their empire not covering the entire galaxy anymore, and probably not even half of it, although this last one is just my hypothesis
Yeah their galactic expansion was pretty much randomly selecting planets and terraforming them to chill there, they didnt exactly span the entire thing.
As blank said more of their core worlds were where the eye of terror used to be so they either just stuck there or to the more secluded corners of the webway
Didn't the humans do that too though?
Kind of?
Humanity was NOWHERE as sadomasochist as the eldar though
their golden age was more or so pretty star trek'y in comparison
I wonder if he Eldar ever had similar problems from their AI
We sadly dont have any info on their AI. Its a throw away line in a single book where they refer to them as "spirit drones" and "psychomatons" so most people just assume they de-activated or got decommissioned from being psychically active after Slaanesh was born
its kind of a plothole thats never brought up again
They were probably bound warp-things
I think they were powered by the souls of their dead, since you know, the "tech" they have for their "automatons" isn't really technological but it is more warp fuckery
And they didn't developed the souls stones after the fall afaik
Yeah I'd have to imagine their AI was probably psychic in nature as well
normal eldar bullshit
Yeah its basically psychic robots
just remove tablet-given-orders and replace them with telepathic-orders and its probably just it.
I heard there were stories of Eldar Ghost Warriors trying to reconnect with their families. Someone told me there was a story where one of them tried to make some pottery but failed because their wraithbone body was simply too akward
Might be Valedor, eldar novels insert a lot of angsty scenes of ghost warriors trying to do normal activities before failing at it
Yeah. Which book is that from

Also again theres a lot of eldar wraith unit angst in books so im not sure
Valedor iirc only has two twins getting depressed over being tasked to pilot a wraith knight
Because depressed Eldar ghost robots trying to do stuff and failing sound hilarious and adorable
it could be worse
they could be in the imperium......where their chapter wakes them up once a week to make him tell them tales of leman russ
wraithbros get to sleep
I just listened to Luetin's video on Rophanon and he really just said duck it and fed them to the Tyranids lmao
that video is great lol
”WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON WOLVES?”
"Uhm...we are neutral about wolves, I suppose?"
get stolen by the blood ravens
have to pretend to be some guy named davian thule
(happy ending)
lets see how that worked for th-
"they took our chapter master too"
I’m actually surprised about how little lore there was relating to this lad
His short story was really rad but it made me want more. True AI are so exceptionally rare that the lack of stuff centered on UR-025 was a bit disappointing
He was thought up just for Blackstone Fortress is why
There was a short comic about AdMech opening up an old complex with an AI
Sauce and ping please
In the old warhammer monthly. There was a story of a vault being reopened which contained either a self-replicating ai. Or just the men of iron. Cool story but cant remember the name
! "Pax -Imperialis"
Yeah was looking for it and just found it & gave it a read, always love seeing more stuff for AI in 40k.
I really like the looks of the robots that attack the Arbites, it really makes me wish they did more model wise with Dark Mech & Silica Animus stuff.
Aye. it was fuckin dope.
are the eldar helmets shaped like vases for a reason?
working on it
The book death of integrity contains a really advanced pre-imperium ai
The book was pretty good imo
Yeah. That whole ship was DAoT
Wish we could name the characters in Darktide to make own our lore figures
I like to upload mine to the Wiki
Cant decide whether I want to do Repentia or Ogryn
Easiest pick in the book: ogryn.
He’s gonna be badass, for sure, but.... I really want an Eviscerator
word! big chainsword!
You're saying you don't want to be a guardsman firing an overcharged plasma gun all the time?
If he dont want it, I do.
2 for 2 for 2
I don't know what we are talking about 😦
nor do i but i vote guard
alrighty, so, 2 votes for Ogryn, 2 for priest, 3 for guard
let's split the guard votes, anybody voting for the sergeant? Besides me, of course
1 vote for squat
Scion would be pretty sweet too though
ogryn
be the good boi
guardsman is just going to roll ones with the plasma
it always happens
it is inevitable
I'll be the goodest
Tech Priest, please.
Replace all main characters with space wolves
That's a weird way to spell Primaris Marines
does anyone ever leave necromunda?
The Imperial Fists recruit from it so presumably plenty of people leave assuming they survive the trials.
If you meant regular folk than I guess the Merchant Guilders and Nobles probably do occasionally
Primaris marines look cool, but I dont think they'll be as iconic as the OG space marines
I like the look of the new cowwadooty marines but i feel strange everytime someone wants GW to sell a chaos primaris pack. Common suggestions are either world eaters or emperors children. No death guard or word bearers or black legion for some reason
No one likes word bearers
They would just be a mirror Primaris space marines though
Why not have some lore where the chaos gods exert their influence on the heretic marines more making them more powerful
At least making them similar but not the same
They should just uncork some more Chaos Legions, have the Iron Warriors bust into the scene with extra cursed tacticool gear and daemon combat servitors or empowered Nightlords that have gone full Varghulf batmen.
More specifically no one likes lorgar
Look, we all know Primaris were made with traitor geneseed. GW is going to have that not matter at all, until it does, then walk it back
Just wait for the next Chaos codex
hello guys
