hurr durr too fast to see hurr durr [matrix] hurr durr [every shitty power scaling superhero thing since the 90s]

[cerulean wagon]

or better yet do more weird psyker shit like the caine books

weird slaanesh gardens where the leaves are tongues

[storm jungle]

the Astartes animation shows it best tbh, even when Marines sprint they're fast but bulky as fuck

instead of ZOOOOM

[odd sparrow]

ye astartes handled it really well

[cerulean wagon]

I wont mention the thing

[atomic pelican]

didnt a space marine-

okeay yeah

SDUHFNS

Lascannon memories

[cerulean wagon]

dont u start proud

[odd sparrow]

strong* and obvs well trained with Moving Fast™️ but like, it's still a tank sized man in tank sized armour

[primal tide]

some writers conflate "nothing that big should move that fast" with "cant see shit"

[cerulean wagon]

fast and fast indeed ratty

[odd sparrow]

die

[cloud kindle]

they are tankman

[cerulean wagon]

[odd sparrow]

thank

[atomic pelican]

tfw space marine epicly runs 6000 circles around a harlequin then touches them with their pinky

killing them instantly

[shell pebble]

What if a space marine wasnt wearing any armor?

Would they go zooooooooooooooooooom?

[primal tide]

lewd

[atomic pelican]

then I'd hope he would put some clothes on

[storm jungle]

That happens in a book

[atomic pelican]

you know

[odd sparrow]

it's revenge for them 1shotting custodes

[atomic pelican]

I try to make up this shit

[odd sparrow]

this is what cheaters get

[atomic pelican]

But I accidentally just quote actual books

[cerulean wagon]

lmao

[storm jungle]

Basically, fucking Mephiston

[odd sparrow]

[storm jungle]

that vampire librarian of the blood angels

pulls a fucking ZA WARUDO

[cerulean wagon]

why are SM so fucking cringe

[storm jungle]

DFKSDFDS

[odd sparrow]

cus they're the focal point of 40k cringe

[atomic pelican]

I could say "space marines can jump 160 floors and blow up hivefleets with their minds" and someone'd be like "uhh yeah that's from AssBlast Chapter 49, of the Drip Marines"

[odd sparrow]

bolter porn

[potent swift]

The rare moment the opposite happens is great. Like the one time an Ork Warboss sans mega-armor just charges into a bunch of BTs and just punches one in the head so hard his helmet shatters.

[primal tide]

space marines are the kids at recess saying your imaginary gun missed them because they activated their force field during a game of cops and robbers

[shell pebble]

I want to see a Space Marine chapter that tries to do parkour and 360 no scopes to really show that nothing that big should be going that fast

[cerulean wagon]

im pretty sure theres a SM book where some guy jumps into orbit and cuts a ship in half with a sword made of fire

[odd sparrow]

killing space marines is the civil duty of all xenos

[atomic pelican]

[odd sparrow]

apply railgun to mary sue

[storm jungle]

Also an actual lore piece where a single marine takes over a normal civilian world iirc

[cerulean wagon]

your welcome proud lmao

[atomic pelican]

oh god

[odd sparrow]

i assume that's like

a political coup vibe?

[cloud kindle]

apply flamer to eldar child

[odd sparrow]

not just one dude fighting an entire planet

[cerulean wagon]

is it an ultramarine

[storm jungle]

iirc its actually a fucking scout trial for the neophyte

[shell pebble]

Average people and not military trained people

[storm jungle]

i gotta look it up 1 sec

[shell pebble]

I mean we've seen astartes be brought down by humans before

So

[cerulean wagon]

bet its ultramarines

[shell pebble]

Yeah I call bullshit

[atomic pelican]

I just remembered the fact that

[odd sparrow]

if u apply a high caliber gun to a space marine the space marine dies

[atomic pelican]

the only living mortal who's interacted mentally with the hivemind(and survived, not insane) was a marine

not a, say, eldar

[odd sparrow]

it makes zero sense for them to be doing the comic book thing of just

[primal tide]

one space marine ran around a planet so fast that he stopped its rotation

[odd sparrow]

hurr durr u cant beat me cus im so strong

[cerulean wagon]

remember when

[potent swift]

Ultramarine Librarian, Tony the Tiger or whatever his name was

[cerulean wagon]

the ultramarine, cato sicarius

beat the necron god

[atomic pelican]

Tony the Tiger

[cerulean wagon]

in one on one combat

[final spruce]

Just fire some damn pladma at marines

[shell pebble]

UHMMMMMMM AKTUALLY snorts and pushes up glasses DE ASTARTES SOLDIER WOULD GO INTO A COMA AND HE'D BE REVIVED BY HIS RIENFORCEMENTS SO snorts YOU'RE WRONG IM SORRY

[atomic pelican]

Calgar's gonna use his massive hands to throw a hivefleet outside of the milky way like superman redirecting a asteroid

[primal tide]

the sugondis membrane

[cerulean wagon]

his hands are so big

[shell pebble]

His mouth is dry

[storm jungle]

THATS ACTUALLY A FUCKING PRIMARIS ORGAN FUNCTION

AAA-

[cerulean wagon]

must be a primarch

[cloud kindle]

hey guys remember when calgar killed a lord of skulls in 1v1?

[final spruce]

Remember, the bigger the hands, the more powerful he is

[atomic pelican]

We got em boys

[atomic pelican]

Did he punch him with his incredibly big hands

[cerulean wagon]

can we get a comic edit

[shell pebble]

IT IS AND ITS kind of cool but not really used at all in what Ive seen, mainly because SM with no names tend to just be obliterated completely

[final spruce]

*one shot

[cerulean wagon]

where every time it shows calgar his hands get bigger

[potent swift]

Calgar's yaoi-hands are the source of his powers

[cerulean wagon]

i almost fucking

[shell pebble]

Remember guys: in the 40k universe, if you dont have a name, you're probably going to die the moment you step on a battlefield of any sort

[cerulean wagon]

spat my drink across my screen

and died

[shell pebble]

If you do, you're going to survive

[odd sparrow]

what on earth are yaoi hands

what do big hands have to do with that

[atomic pelican]

you know

[odd sparrow]

Does everyone have a hand kink now

[atomic pelican]

big hands

[cerulean wagon]

its a japanese art style

[primal tide]

they have everything to do with it

[storm jungle]

Yaoi Hands, also known as "Yaoi hand syndrome", is a term for aggrandized hands that can be found in Yaoi[1], a homoerotic fictional media intended for female consumption. The trope bears similarities to several other anime devices, including exaggerated breasts[2] and gag boobs[3] as seen in Mega Milk / Titty Monster.

[shell pebble]

Typically hands in yaoi are drawn super big for some reason

[cerulean wagon]

old yaoi books had big hands

[final spruce]

Fistin I assume ?

[odd sparrow]

,,,

[cerulean wagon]

[shell pebble]

Fingers

[primal tide]

TIL the tf2 characters all have yaoi hands

[storm jungle]

I'll consumpt that

[odd sparrow]

i get that large hands are like

[cerulean wagon]

usually used for the whole virile young man thing

[shell pebble]

[odd sparrow]

oh jesus

[primal tide]

oh god

thats just body horror

[shell pebble]

THEY'RE ALIEN FINGERS

[final spruce]

Hey he has the IG hands !

[atomic pelican]

You know what I'd love to see? GW writers having to kill a major marine character at some point, should it ever happen, having to justify how they die when they've performed such op acts before. Like, if you know anything about the situation of killing Jotaro in JJBA.

[primal tide]

E T phone home

[atomic pelican]

I hope Calgar dies getting hit by a bus or something completely mundane

[storm jungle]

give him the thorgrim treatment

[shell pebble]

He trips over his big feet and falls off a cliff

[storm jungle]

some genestealer under his bed kills him offscreen

[odd sparrow]

i forget how jotaro even died

[atomic pelican]

BIG FEET

[odd sparrow]

i remember it being sorta dumb

[atomic pelican]

P much

Pretty much he'd been written to be kinda op

But h ehad to die

So same problem

[odd sparrow]

They did at least write in the whole like

[final spruce]

He did die but came back

[vapid tiger]

i mean he's okay with psykers if they don't use their powers

[odd sparrow]

jotaro is a lazy fuck who doesn't bother practising his extremely powerful ability

or using it at all

[atomic pelican]

leave grandpa alone

[shell pebble]

That makes the most logical amount of sense for Khorne

[odd sparrow]

so in live threatening situations he's just oh fuck i haven't stopped time in like eight years

how does this even work

[primal tide]

literally shows up to morioh town like "oh yeah i guess it has been 10 years since i stopped time" like what

[storm jungle]

shut up its anime

[odd sparrow]

im a senile old man despite aging backwards

[storm jungle]

focus on Dio wearing latex

[odd sparrow]

man just wants to study dolphins

[primal tide]

lmao

[odd sparrow]

okay look

[cerulean wagon]

tbf

who even takes jojo seriously

[odd sparrow]

im not SAYING im unsure of the logistics of his outfit

but like

where is it

[cerulean wagon]

why are u guys discussing this like the show makes any sense

[primal tide]

not even the writer does

[vapid tiger]

Like the world eaters killed all their librarians

[shell pebble]

Jojo is just a fun time

[storm jungle]

40k is jojo

[odd sparrow]

it has to be there but it's just not

[atomic pelican]

Jojo is a very serious series skele you just dont get it/s

[final spruce]

I know the writer literally use fashion exhibition dresses

Like the things that youd never wear

[odd sparrow]

jojo has v pretty guys going into the later runs

therefore it gets my assent

johnny is adorable

[primal tide]

the slabs of meat slowly transformed into high fashion models

[cerulean wagon]

ratty will take either

[odd sparrow]

slowly transitioned from disfigured mass of muscle to emaciated twink

[atomic pelican]

Part 4-> part 5 twinkification process

[odd sparrow]

grsegeegaws

it was in the middle of part 4

[atomic pelican]

Yeep

[odd sparrow]

just

apparently josuke went on E or smthn

idk what else explains it

[atomic pelican]

legend

[odd sparrow]

That said josuke is also adorable and i love the art style they chose for him for the anime

,, tbh part 4 is my favourite in general but

[primal tide]

and it has the most jojo thing to ever happen in jojo, punching a bad guy to turn him into a rock that becomes a local landmark

[shell pebble]

I love Jojo for its music references

And alot of its ridiculousness

[odd sparrow]

i do find myself wondering about the logistics of that

is that dude just immortal now

[shell pebble]

But I cannot get past part 3

[odd sparrow]

or will he just like. rot. in his stone tomb at some point

[primal tide]

yeah hes basically just stuck there being a miserable rock forever

its great

[odd sparrow]

tbh take my advice and just like

skip straight to uhh probs vanilla ice-ish for part 3? I honestly didn't even bother watching half of the battles

[primal tide]

them fucking around in the desert for 20 episodes really dragged on

[odd sparrow]

the last few bits are amazing but leading up to is ehhhhh

it's def the worst part

[shell pebble]

I just dont like Jotaro

You cant make me like him

[odd sparrow]

that's also reasonable, he's not very interesting lol

he's just

[primal tide]

but it does have joseph feed baby shit to a baby

an evil baby, to be fair

[odd sparrow]

edgy, vaguely misogynistic, the fuck u said about my mum bruv vibes

[shell pebble]

Hes just trying so hard to be cool

[odd sparrow]

he starts becoming an actual human in part 4

[primal tide]

jotaro is far better in part 4

[shell pebble]

And its like "Bruh"

[odd sparrow]

before that he's just

[primal tide]

yeee

[odd sparrow]

[[[shonen protaganist]]]

[primal tide]

blank edgy gifted teen

[storm jungle]

whats the opposite of shonen

jojo is pretty gay

[odd sparrow]

idk im not a weeb

[storm jungle]

also women get punched a lot

and like

get their skulls broken

not that i mind as a woman

but still

[odd sparrow]

pls dont get ur skull broken

[storm jungle]

DSKLFDS

[primal tide]

you should definitely mind it

[storm jungle]

god i cant get over watching some of the scenes with the female characters though

its such a rare sight to see to begin with

amidst all the muscles

[odd sparrow]

i feel like jojo started to get really gay in part 5

[storm jungle]

DLSFDKLSDFSL

[odd sparrow]

part 1 is straight

[cerulean wagon]

it was gay from the start

[odd sparrow]

part 2 is like

[cerulean wagon]

did you see that art style?

[odd sparrow]

there's gay elements

cus caeser exists

but it's mostly straight

[cerulean wagon]

like

you look at part 1 dio

[storm jungle]

""""mostly"""""

[cerulean wagon]

or jojo

[shell pebble]

Part 5 be very homosexual

[odd sparrow]

Okay look

dio belongs to us bisexuals

the gays cant claim him

[cerulean wagon]

too late

[odd sparrow]

HE WASN'T EVEN GAY UNTIL PART LIKE 6

,, sure he like

[storm jungle]

DIO LOVES NO ONE BUT HIMSELF

[odd sparrow]

murders his female partners and stuff

but still

[storm jungle]

HES DIOSEXUAL

[odd sparrow]

SAME

not part 3 dio tho but he gets quite pretty in part 6

[primal tide]

he also loved posing in those hermit purple pictures

[storm jungle]

oh yeah also I just remembered, speaking of Loki is also Fluid apparently

[odd sparrow]

he's a shapeshifter he's inherently genderfluid

[storm jungle]

ikr

sick shit

[odd sparrow]

that's not even his gender

it's his sex

he's sexfluid

[cerulean wagon]

hes horse sexual

[odd sparrow]

,, no

AYAYAYAAAAY

[final spruce]

[odd sparrow]

,, okay nvm i just forgot pillar men existed

PART 1 IS STILL STRAIGHT

[cerulean wagon]

suuuure

[odd sparrow]

i draw the line at part 2 from part 2 onwards it's straight into the gay

[cerulean wagon]

lol

[odd sparrow]

okay so like

[storm jungle]

great i gotta go listen to their theme now since its such a banger

[final spruce]

Pure Caesar salad moment

[odd sparrow]

from gayest to straightest, out of the ones i've seen or read it's like

[primal tide]

never forget that the spanish word for ham sounds identical to hamon

[odd sparrow]

part 5 > part 6 (with a healthy dose of lesbian gay this time) > part 2 (carried by pillar men) > part 3 > part 4 > part 1

that's my assessment

[storm jungle]

I mean "meme" in turkish means "tit" so close enough

[odd sparrow]

part 7 is like. yeah half the characters look like drag queens i can't say that's straight

[primal tide]

dude

dank memes

[storm jungle]

[cerulean wagon]

a good pair of memes

[storm jungle]

and its spelt "meh-meh"

[primal tide]

hahaha

[storm jungle]

thanks for attending this course

[cerulean wagon]

that describes how i feel about em

[odd sparrow]

i regularly reference the type of bird specifically so i can lord my maturity over ppl who immediately go hehe boobies

cus they always do

[primal tide]

[odd sparrow]

[odd sparrow]

We have those too

some willow tits as well, all the tits

A few robins but they're sorta rare, weirdly almost no sparrows

[cerulean wagon]

get sparrows in the summer

a few robins in the winter

a couple of Jays actually, which is great

https://cdn.download.ams.birds.cornell.edu/api/v1/asset/252252921/1800

kinda love how bizzare they look

[odd sparrow]

I haven't seen a jay in SO long

they're shy af

[cerulean wagon]

ye

[odd sparrow]

i got a couple to come over by leaving peanuts but also like

squirrels

less than amicable

[cerulean wagon]

honestly

destroy grey squirrels

[odd sparrow]

they are cute

[cerulean wagon]

they kill off red squirrels tho

and are an invasive species

[odd sparrow]

red squirrels are gone so it's sorta moot imo

excepting like. what was that beach/woodland place called

the one place that still has them

[cerulean wagon]

they are still about in scottland

and are slowly expanding their habitat

[odd sparrow]

!! nice

[primal tide]

i saw black squirrels in canada

[odd sparrow]

I didn't know that

[primal tide]

they were pretty cute

[cerulean wagon]

we should apply my valuable, all terrain strategy to the squirrel problem

we should deploy wolves

[primal tide]

wolves are just big squirrels

[cerulean wagon]

https://img.ifunny.co/images/ee07f11bc3111376c2bb1ed403f32f8b6e67e9b8138f611c282dc5452e2724ff_1.gif

if its working in michigan why cant we apply it elsewhere

[primal tide]

gritty operation dumbo drop sequel

[cerulean wagon]

lmao

forgot that movie for a second

[primal tide]

haha yeah man

[vast frigate]

Yeah the airdropped wolves are hilarious

[cursive hull]

The main issue is that wolves tend to thrive where-ever you put them.

[cerulean wagon]

good

they can cull the humans next

[coarse mirage]

Spent some time in VRChat listening to Star Wars fans arguing Empire could beat Imperium.

You can't win against backwater nobodies for like 30 years, you can't beat anything.

Can't believe I stan'd for 40k

[cursive hull]

...The main issue in that discussion is that its stupid as fuck anyway.

The Empire and the Imperium would get along very well for one. Both are Xenophobic, both are authoritarian states...

And second.

...Star Wars has FTL that doesn't send you through hell all the time, and ships which basically have hyper OP weapons as a default.

So it'd be game over on the basis of a galactic conflict.

[coarse mirage]

They wouldn't get along well because the Imperium wouldn't have control, so they would have war instead.

But ech it doesn't realy compare

40k is absurd

[cursive hull]

it is.

...But at the same time, so is Star Wars.

[coarse mirage]

Star Wars is absurd because nobody cares

[cursive hull]

I mean, yes.

But it has plenty of absurd concepts in it too.

[coarse mirage]

Like being born superior to others yet somehow being about overcoming odds?

[cursive hull]

That.

But also, on a starshps basis.

40k has giant space cathedrals.

Star Wars has danger triangles with superlasers stuck on... And no I don't mean that stupid Xyston

Fuck that thing.

I mean the Sovereign and the Eclipse class SSD's

And yet the Empire manages to lose, despite having super weapons that casually one shot other dreadnoughts.

[coarse mirage]

Because they're angry

Always angry, making angry mistakes and being stupid because angry rawr evil guy must be angry and heedless

Unless you're the original movies where the evil space empire were actually organised and levelheaded

[median sundial]

Can't we just agree that unless someone makes a sci fi setting with an even more ridiculous scale, no one can win against 40k.

[cursive hull]

The stable FTL typically seems to be the clincher for most people.

(And faster FTL, for that matter.)

Specifically Star Wars Hyperspace.

Course, this also ignores that hyperspace is a fixed form of FTL, taking you from point A to point B on a lane, and not to anywhere without a lane, but whatever.

[vapid tiger]

who gives a shit about "who would win"

especially on that kind of macro scale

[plucky moth]

Battle meditation would tilt the fuck out of the imperium tbh

[cursive hull]

Absolutely.

[plucky moth]

Really though nids would nom on Jedi/sith and then it’d be game over for both

[cursive hull]

Very likely, yeah.

[plucky moth]

Really it’d always come down to nids and orks for eternity lmao

Big meme

[cloud kindle]

Spent some time in VRChat listening to Star Wars fans arguing Empire could beat Imperium.
@coarse mirage i mean i like both but the enpire aint got shit on the imperium

[cursive hull]

From my experience, it always, and I mean always, at actual debates with rules and standards, came down to "The Imperium could best the Empire on the field of battle, but never got there in time to do anything because the Empire has star wars far superior FTL, which let them blitz the Imperium whole sale."

[weak fern]

But does the Empire beat Eldars or Nids.

[cursive hull]

They never discussed the full universe. It becomes too messy.

It was just Empire V Imperium.

[weak fern]

Its true SW universe.... its pretty huge and not used at all

[cloud kindle]

Imperium would win with sheer numbers

[cursive hull]

You're assuming their slow and fat ships could even get into orbit before being destroyed by a setting with FTL so much faster than theirs.

That's literally the counter argument.

[cloud kindle]

Void shields dont fuck around

[cursive hull]

And neither do superlasers

[atomic pelican]

Tfw your ships dont have to go through literal hell

[cloud kindle]

Whats the point then

[cursive hull]

There isn't one.

Its a stupid discussion.

[cloud kindle]

I meant your ships not going through super hell

[weak fern]

[atomic pelican]

Who would win: Blue from blues clues or marneus calgar

The answer may surprise you

[cloud kindle]

Mmm......

Depends

Has blue been able to place clues yet

[weak fern]

Does a Saber lazer have same power than a Power sword ?

[atomic pelican]

Assume Blue is at maximum clue power

[weak fern]

Or energetic sword ?

[atomic pelican]

Calgars hands are especially big

[cloud kindle]

I think blue would have

Oooooo

Big hands though

[cursive hull]

You mean a lightsaber?

[cloud kindle]

Also lightsaber is plasma

[weak fern]

Yes

Sorry

[cloud kindle]

/nerdpoints

[cursive hull]

If you want to know, most debates classify Lightsabers and Power Swords the same in terms of power to keep it from becoming too complex.

[weak fern]

X)

I need to know

Its for Omnissiah

[cloud kindle]

Idk max clue blue and big hands calgar are very equal

[weak fern]

Daddy Void Dragooun uwu

[cursive hull]

The logic, if you can call it that, is that Lightsabers use magnetic fields to contain their energy, and thus power swords and their power fields would clash with a lightsaber just like another lightsaber would.

[median sundial]

I have a better question: Does Mortarion have Tuberculosis?

[weak fern]

Okay

[atomic pelican]

Probably

[cloud kindle]

Super tuber

[atomic pelican]

Mortarion has like every disease+

[cursive hull]

The answer is yes.

[weak fern]

Isha be saved by Mortarion

[cloud kindle]

Nah ny money on Russ

Since shes the tree of life

[weak fern]

Yeah but Mortarion piss off Nurgle in his garden and Isha was in, maybe he can save her and be heal by her

[cloud kindle]

New lore?

[weak fern]

From last novel with Guilliman

Godblight

[cloud kindle]

I know that mortarion isnt quite as favored

[weak fern]

Maybe for fuck Nurgle save Isha

[cloud kindle]

Compared to typhus and mini nurgles

[weak fern]

In that case, with a rework of Eldar incomming its a good theory

I guess

[peak hamlet]

Why would he "free" her?

[cloud kindle]

Spite nurgle maybe

[weak fern]

Yeah

[peak hamlet]

She would just get consumed by slaanesh

[cloud kindle]

Possibly

[weak fern]

Nah she is a god

Wait

Hoett too

[cloud kindle]

Unless she was able to get into the webway

[weak fern]

Fuck

Or maybe saved by Mortarion and Ynnead

[peak hamlet]

And since she in fact likes nurgle (im right, you cant prove me wrong) she would resist

[cloud kindle]

Wat

[peak hamlet]

Yes

[weak fern]

Yeah Isha is a special mother

And Nurgle is not the evilest Chaos god

[peak hamlet]

Why would mortarion do something about nurgle anyway?

[cloud kindle]

Idk man sounds like heresy to me

[peak hamlet]

Least*

[weak fern]

We just can wait a see what next happen to Godblight

[dim totem]

So ppl think Russ will enter nurgles garden to save Isha for some reason?

[cloud kindle]

Weeping plague was pretty messed up

[peak hamlet]

He will literally invite you to his mansion and has a nice talk with you if you visit his realm

[dim totem]

I hope he extra-dies

[peak hamlet]

HH corerule can do that

So sword / shield?

I though they had to take the bolt cannons if they took a sword

[weak fern]

Nah you can choose

After if its not, adapt rules, agree with your mate and its ok

I wonder if any 40k art will continue to show the adventures of LIIVI and his Eldar GF

[storm jungle]

Considering they're the relic of the mid 2000's probably not

[open marsh]

Well they were reaffirmed in Wrath and Glory

Tho the artwork was reused from the Rogue Trader RPG

[storm jungle]

Yeah its just reused art

the original textbox under the older one pretty much outright references the story in comparison

[open marsh]

That textbox on the card is newer

The Art

(and this is the latest image we have along their story line)

[weak fern]

DH and Wrath and Glory are pretty cool

[open marsh]

Yeh

[weak fern]

Good choise and a better focus than Rogue Trader imo

[open marsh]

I also wanna know that Eldar's name

[weak fern]

And more friendly...

[cerulean wagon]

Dark heresy is the best one I've ran so far rules wise

just the most fun at its core

Craftworld Eldar

I have a general disdain for them. But there are notable exceptions

[weak fern]

Ok

[cerulean wagon]

Its a 40k tabletop, death is always close at hand

which is what makes it fun

[weak fern]

Yus but Psyker save my life

[open marsh]

@weak fernAre you familiar with the story of LIIVI (both in universe and out)?

[cerulean wagon]

The last time I was a player I held off a Tervigon to let the party plant a vortex bomb on a downed hive ship

So they could escape back to the lander and get out

craftworld are neat

[storm jungle]

Good luck because most of it is trash

[cerulean wagon]

hoping they get their Wrath and glory expansion soon

cause currently it just sets up their custom craftworld

which is trapped in system after a warp event fucked their drives

[open marsh]

A Vindicare Assassin's mental programming (that was meant to suppress his human emotions that dont involve killing his target) failed, and he fell in love with an Eldar seer.

It was originally a very very cringy fanfic, but it got so meme'd that the Fantasy Flight Games writers wrote a semi-canon version in the background

[weak fern]

XD

Okay

[storm jungle]

Tbh the fanfic was decent, as best as you can do when one of the lovers is literally brainwashed

I say this as a person that read through the thing in like 3 hours

vindicare are prob the best assassin group imo

[peak hamlet]

Yeah see?

[open marsh]

@weak fernBut yeah. canon wise we only have those 4 things I posted above. A quote showing that the vindicare is named LIIVI in canon. That he does fall in love with an Eldar. Tho its not the same one from the Fanfic.

And then the other pic where the Eldar has changed paths to being a Ranger. While it looks like LIIVI was wounded and lost his Exitus RIfle, combat suit, and eye.

[weak fern]

I love Callidus feet....

[storm jungle]

god shut up kamelia

lol

[weak fern]

[cerulean wagon]

So he runs on gamer brain? women arent real until he sees them directly

[storm jungle]

yeah but seeing someones face when they remove a mask can do the same thing to most people

since... you know, its suppose to dehumanize you

reeee

But I'm not gonna defend more of this fanfic over my breakfast so have at it

[peak hamlet]

I know what this dude was going for when making this animation, its just 100% cringe

[cerulean wagon]

ah yes

dehumanise the eldar

👀

[open marsh]

I just chalk it up to his mental condition failing. Bound to happen sometimes over the course of 10,000 years

[cerulean wagon]

The Tau realized this might be the one time someone is better than him at ranged.

[weak fern]

😔

[storm jungle]

also that tau is a special character iirc

so you know how its gonna go

[peak hamlet]

There was this other animation i once saw where the blood ravens sergean somehow got a jedi or something, made by the same person that animated a tau jumping around and melee killing a terminator by stabbing him in the head

[open marsh]

Also yeah, he as a pulse carbine. He has a MUCH greater advantage at close range

[peak hamlet]

Also have some officcial gw approved and used in books art

Final mission: shoot eldar aquire eldar gf

[open marsh]

A squad of Vindicares deployed to an island on a rebel world to rescue a mechanicus xenoarcheologist

[prime kernel]

@open marsh a squad ??? That prospect sounds terifying

[open marsh]

You know. I can actually imagine a scene like that. You get an update on your visor of a new target. With the objective listed as "Kill target". But as you aim, the game starts fighting your control and not letting you put the crosshairs over her, and the objective changes to "Protect target".

[peak hamlet]

That was meant as a joke :(

If they do this ill shoot myself

[storm jungle]

[open marsh]

I mean if I was going 1 - 1 with Crysis. No less than 3 squads were deployed to the island. As well as Marines a battalion of Imperial Guard

[cerulean wagon]

vindicare would be closer to sniper elite

which tbh

40k sniper? i'd play

[peak hamlet]

Same

[storm jungle]

I want it now too smh

[cerulean wagon]

especially if it was like

[open marsh]

Oh deff. But you cant help but easily imagine the character designer of Crysis was a fan of 40k

[open marsh]

Fun fact about Vindicares their training/hypnoindoctrination allows them to fully utilize the datafeeds of their mask. Which is stated to be more information at once than even a regular Astartes can handle

[peak hamlet]

Lmao gw fucking their own lore up

[cerulean wagon]

its smooth and sloped so sometimes your shots glance off

[peak hamlet]

Possible ingame archivement: kill somebody after your bullet ricochets off a marines smooth crotch

[barren tapir]

Ah, yes, this one... The moment when an entire assassins squads get defeated by tau... The tau were named, it was like a pathfinder hero

[storm jungle]

To be fair that assassination force in the campaign managed to kill Aun'Killyourself'va so its not really a loss

[barren tapir]

AFAIK this don't refer to the vindicare, the guy is a rogue trader and the eldar is part of rogue trader retinue iirc

[storm jungle]

I'm pretty sure i think only like... the Vindicare died? And another one i cant remember

[barren tapir]

IIRC all died, but managed maybe to complete the objective

[storm jungle]

Yeah my memory is fuzzy on it

[open marsh]

It was made as a reference to the original fanfic (sniper-type human teamed up with an eldar). Then was made even more obvious to be LIIVI and his Eldar GF in the Wrath and Glory game vi its "A Flame of the Heart" game card

[barren tapir]

Yes, i saw that, but i think it is more a nod to that story than those chars

[open marsh]

Originally, yes. But kinda got retconned into being more obviously LIIVI and his gf

Tho the Eldar is obviously not Taldeer

(Taldeer is dead and never hooked up with a Vindicare Assassin)

[barren tapir]

I disagree in being that obvious, it is just a rogue trader retinue that nod at that fanfic

[cerulean wagon]

Ye its just a rogue trader cause thats from falling suns

Thats the sole surviving farseer from a craftworld you are sent to explore

the art for the card is just them re-using the book art

https://i.imgur.com/reTww2T.png

(very cool adventure btw)

[open marsh]

But she is a Ranger. A Farseer is stuck on the path of the Seer and cant change to the path of the Outcast

[cerulean wagon]

read the book nuclear

[open marsh]

Im actually going to find my copy now because this his piqued my interest

[cerulean wagon]

its a farseer that acts as an ally for the purpose of investigating a dead craftworld

its a real cool setup

[open marsh]

I remember there being a Farseer in the game that can alley with you. But I dont remember her becoming a Ranger

[cerulean wagon]

she doesnt become a ranger, but thats how they styled her in the title art for some reason

And its not a PC cause eldar arent playable

[weak fern]

In fact does RT, DH, W&G can really be 100% lorefriendly ?

[open marsh]

I dont think its the same character from the game. They just used that art because it prominently showed an Eldar teamed up with a human. Indicating the Farseer could join you

[cerulean wagon]

depending on who runs the campaign they can yes

[open marsh]

While the art itself was made in a vacuum as a reference to LCB

Looking at the gamebook. The Farseer in the campaign is a guy

Farseer Anaris

where is this from

[tepid peak]

Korgoth of Barbaria

[frosty cobalt]

Found out that calling SM lieutenants “left-tenents” british style really pisses some SM fans off for some reason

[tepid peak]

Weird. "Leff-tennant" is just how we say it in Britain.

[frosty cobalt]

Ikr, which considering GW is british is funny to me

[tepid peak]

It's how Captain Titus addresses Lieutenant Mira, too.

[frosty cobalt]

Yea im thinking its how u say it in low gothic.

Maybe i should say it in the french pronunciation

Piss off the brits and the americans

[tepid peak]

And would be technically correct to boot.

[frosty cobalt]

Exactly xD

Anyone see that really sick Sarrin model that popped up on the 40k subreddit?

#1 girlboss in 40k

[storm jungle]

Nah its really just as said above GW and most of its writers being british

i dont midn it though its certainly alot easier than spelling leutieueuetenant

[frosty cobalt]

Im p sure its spelled the same just pronounced diff

[vapid tiger]

I imagine lefftennet would be the pronunciation considering 40k is British

[odd sparrow]

ye u dont spell it like that

it's just a pronunciation thing

[vapid tiger]

I spelled the pronunciation

[tepid peak]

It is. Lindybeige does a vid about explaining the meaning of the word and its use in a vid about platoons.

[vapid tiger]

Word's spelled the same regardless

But yeah 40k being british is a reality that must be acknowledged since it's not only integral to how it's written and its origins but also the origin of a lot of 40k's issues

[frosty cobalt]

The only primaris left tenent i want is the left side half on the base of my commander battle suit

[tepid peak]

https://youtu.be/a15gihWu1SM?t=110 this is the vid and I won't go further off-topic.

[peak hamlet]

Lindy!

especially after gw went corporate and you saw a more varied range of writers with a wider range of views than when 40k was originally written by a bunch of nerdy punks

Thx for posting this tho. Im sad she doest have her marine slapper 4000 las pistol, but the lighting from the plasma is great

[peak hamlet]

Indeed

To be 100% honest it could have been painted a little smoother but hes(or shes(idk man)) probably still learning

[frosty cobalt]

If she had that plasma pistol in the book, delvarus would have been a lot more peeved.

[frosty cobalt]

Yea they said they switched to the plasma to practice the lighting

[peak hamlet]

I doubt she would have shot him with a plasma pistol tho

[frosty cobalt]

Hm maybe not but then again it is capt. sarrin. She told angron to fuck off

I mean in the book it seems she kinda does it on impulse so idk if a different side arm would change that

I need to reread betrayer

[peak hamlet]

I think if she murdered a legionary she would have crossed a line. Than even angron would probably throw her out through a air vent

[frosty cobalt]

Thats very valid, but then again she did almost die for the las pistol shot. I believe you are correct tho, the librarian probably wouldnt have protected her

Ngl i think angron wouldnt give a shit

He kills his own legionaries, and quite likes sarrin so it be interesting to see what would happen but alas we never will

[strange depot]

Helsreach is one of the best books

[fallow drum]

Helsreach is the only thing I have gone through outside of the heresy so far but it is really freaking great

Hey guys I have a Heresy question. I just finished The Outcast Dead not too long ago and I had a question about Arik Taranis. Was his actions basically the origins of the gene stealer cult? I looked into him online and couldn't find anything but what he did seems to be very similar to them.

[cursive hull]

...Presumably, and I'm just assuming here, there were Genestealer cults so long as there have been Genestealers active in the boundaries of the Imperium.

[fallow drum]

See that's what I was thinking but I could find no reference to him after that book. It makes sense to me. He knows about the gene seed, has enough knowledge to somewhat use it, and has a reason to get his hands on as many as he can.

[open marsh]

Random thought:
If you have a Raptor chapter Primaris with a las-fusil. You essentially just have a Primaris Imperial Guardsman.

[median sundial]

Are there any stories or instances involving Ogryn Psykers? Cause if not then I have a head canon that if there ever was an Ogryn psyker he wouldn't have to worry about using his space magic too much because the Warp is so unused to Ogryns that they just sorta absorb daemons and get their abilities like a swol Kirby.

[open marsh]

idk if Ogryns are capable of being psykers

[median sundial]

My head canon is iron clad until someone gives me evidence to the opposite.

[open marsh]

Being a psyker requires your brain to function in a certain way. One way they can nullify psykers is by a lobotomy. Ogryn brains probably arent wired well enough to even manifest psykic powers

But hey. Thats the point of homebrew. Nothing explicitly says Ogryns cant be psykers

So GLHF

[open marsh]

Also. I realized that the 11th Kappic Eagles Regiment of Tempestus Scions are based on on the U.S. Army (not in color tho). With GW even once posted a diorama based on Blackhawk Down

[serene eagle]

Lindy can be good for Common sense stuff like this, but he's very stubborn and biased, and sometimes uses "Pure Common Sense" to justify his opinions in the face of evidence
the trouble lies in that he'll always sound extremely reasonable and sensible, then you proof check and you're like "Oh that was a load of rubbish damnit Lindyyyy!"

granted he's very entertaining and I watch all his stuff

lol

[peak hamlet]

Indeed

[dim totem]

Lindybeiiiige

[peak hamlet]

People sometimes forget that common sense is no historical evidence

Example: shads gambeson vikings

[serene eagle]

context?

I think a lot of medieval NERDS and I use that term offensively lol, think that all history was just the last 1000 years in europe

EG people shitting on Lars Anderson (granted his first video was TERRIBLY translated and over the top) because "Gambesons would stop his arrows"

effective conscript armour is about 1000 years old

before that most conscripts (90% of an army) went to battle naked pretty much

[median sundial]

Chad Vikings immune to Arrows by virtue of not knowing they're being shot at.

[serene eagle]

while the history of the bow is 62,000 years old

[peak hamlet]

Well shad said vikings wore gamberson because that would make sense. There is 0 evidence for that tho

[serene eagle]

yeah doubt

Gambeson actually requires that your society has excess cloth production

or stuffing or whatever to stuff the gambeson

also it requires that well

Gambeson is actually somewhat heavy

[peak hamlet]

And thats usually followed by the argument "well we dont know they didnt do thing a or wore thing b"

[serene eagle]

Vikings like dto be FAST AS FUCK

an actual viking raid would look like someone speedrunning For Honor

raiders throughout history liked to be as light as possible

because that means you can get in and out faster, and also carry more loot

[cursive hull]

Thing is

[serene eagle]

and vikings did NOT want to be there when the militia finally arrived

[peak hamlet]

They wore like mail hauberks tho and those are heavy as fuck

[cursive hull]

A gambeson is not heavy enough to restrict movement.

[serene eagle]

All weight is weight

[peak hamlet]

Same with plate armor

[cursive hull]

Going in with just a helmet and a shield if you plan to actually fight anything is suicidal.

[serene eagle]

its also hot

[peak hamlet]

It might slow you down a little but you can still perfectly move and fight in it

[cursive hull]

All armor is hot.

[serene eagle]

vikings didn't like to actually fight though

as in Raiders

if we're talking actual Vikings as in Norsemen going Vikinging

aka raiding

they charged in, took anything of value, and GTFO'd outta there

[cursive hull]

yes, that's my point.

Ideally, you don't want to fight if you want to raid.

But to assume everyone will just give you what you want is kinda naive.

The Saxons weren't pushovers, for one. Nor were most of the people on the Britannic isles.

Its the same the world over.

[peak hamlet]

Problem is that leads to people thinking they ran into "battle" shirtless and shit

[serene eagle]

technically correct if raiding, a lot of cultures opted to go shirtless into battle if they had no armour

just to not get as hot

[dim totem]

I don't like shad, he seems disingenuine to me

[cursive hull]

Just in general, a Viking Dane probably went with heavy clothing, something approaching padded armor/gambeson, if not those things specifically.

Rich Danes could afford better armor.

Lets remember, the Danes lived in a cold place

Dying of hypothermia is counter to raiding.

[dim totem]

Or not genuine or we the word is

[serene eagle]

I like shad, but every person is going to have blind spots

[cursive hull]

He talks authoritatively on things he doesn't know a bit too often.

He has a specific line of interest and best he can do is theorize.

But thats a larger issue with historical youtubers.

[dim totem]

He kinda reminds me of a not openly racist arch

[peak hamlet]

Thats just wild guessing again

[peak hamlet]

Okg same lmao

[serene eagle]

show proof of racism

[cursive hull]

I wouldn't say that...

[serene eagle]

of Shad I mean

not arch, that ship has SAIIIIILED haha

[peak hamlet]

I wouldnt say hes racist, he lust looks like arch

[dim totem]

I said a not openly racist

[cursive hull]

Shad isn't likely at Arch levels of anything.

But he definitely has some sort of hitch here or there based on his religion.

[dim totem]

He sounds like arch without the racist undertones

[cursive hull]

Like, he's said some things that made me uncomfortable in the past.

But not anything mask off.

[peak hamlet]

There are very few hisorical youtubers i can enjoy, my favourite is ian laspina

[dim totem]

The inventor of the lasgun?

[cursive hull]

lol

[serene eagle]

yeah but that's just people
People are going to say things that we aren't comfortable with

occasionally

[peak hamlet]

I hate you

[serene eagle]

I was pretty triggered when Shad defended Goblin Slayer

[cursive hull]

...I know?

[dim totem]

Noooooo

[serene eagle]

REEEE

Goblin slayer is trash

[cursive hull]

I acknowledged that it doesn't make him a bad person because he said a thing I didin't like much?

[peak hamlet]

Worst of all is shads awful larp brigandine

And the pauldrons

[serene eagle]

ah finally, true moral crimes we can hang him for

[peak hamlet]

The pauldrons are the worst

Fuck

[serene eagle]

Show proof pls

[dim totem]

Just post the brigandine lol

[cursive hull]

Anyway.

Yes.

Danes, Jutes, Geats, whoever, any ocean going raider group would wear warm clothing.

The northern sea is fucking cold, and so is Scandinavia. There isn't a chance in hell they weren't layered up while traveling to their destination, given longships had no form of cover from the elements. Long story short, I find it very unlikely a Viking raider would go in with just his trousers and a melee weapon, or no armor in general.

He'd invest in a helmet, a shield, and maybe a spear if he had some money left over. Richer types might be able to afford a sword and a mail hauberk.

[serene eagle]

I'm down with this explanation

[cursive hull]

Clothing is... Deceptively good at making draw cuts, hacking, slashing, etc, less severe. Especially heavy/thick clothing.

[peak hamlet]

Proof??

Did you see them

[cursive hull]

Considering the DKoK do quite literally have field guns because ww1 aesthetic?

Actually yeah.,

Well, "Field guns."

They have ww1 esque howitzers, heavy mortars, etc.

I dunno I didn't think about that joke for more than 2 seconds

Take from it what thou wilst

[odd tulip]

DKoK take most of their inspiration from ww1 germany, but ww2 leaks in pretty frequently

[cursive hull]

Eeeh

[peak hamlet]

Their uniform is french

[cursive hull]

I feel like its only because the fandom around DKoK makes them German-esque that people assume that.

They're really a mish mash of all the major participants of ww1.

[odd tulip]

In fairness, krieg is literally the german word for war

[dim totem]

Nooooo

British mask, French helmet and greatcoat. German color scheme (Except that one regiment which is in French Blue.)
