[atomic pelican]

"Vect never gets invited, show up anyway."

[tiny nova]

I wonder how Tau escaped the crusades

[odd sparrow]

you could invite them and they'd still never show up ever

i just wanna vibe with my dinosaurs

[storm jungle]

You have plenty of place on theirs dont worry

[odd sparrow]

they're like, waaaay in the corner of the galaxy basically

[gaunt vector]

honestly them putting me on a table would be boring by their standards

[odd sparrow]

or they're meant to be anyways im p sure on actual maps they're like right next to ultramar

lol

[atomic pelican]

Also the imperium has

alot of problems to deal with

other than the tau

[storm jungle]

like itself

[atomic pelican]

as per usual

YEAH

LUL

[odd sparrow]

yeah like, what's preferable here

[tiny nova]

Not prior to HH is what I'm getting at

[odd sparrow]

deal with the four hive fleets and seven ork WAAAGHs currently turning eight sectors into paste

[tiny nova]

Or were they still just fish

[odd sparrow]

or deal with a bunch of blueberries who assimilate a planet ocne every like generation

[gaunt vector]

I prefer the Imperium

[storm jungle]

They were basically just one planet and primitive, a single world like that would just be impossible to notice

[odd sparrow]

Tau were never fish, they just have marine based names for vehicles so ppl got confused

and yeah

[gaunt vector]

they just capture my imagination more

[odd sparrow]

they were like. 1000BC level at 35Kish

[atomic pelican]

Tau worlds can at least be reclaimed, sa opposed to hivefleets eating your planet, chaos turning them into daemon worlds, or orkz uh.. being orkz on your planet

[tiny nova]

That's why I think the stc theory has credence

[atomic pelican]

It's one of those theories like "tyranids are running from a bigger threat"

it has no real basis

So It's just speculation

Also a single STC wouldn't advance the tau like they have

[odd sparrow]

imperium explorator shows up, marks the primitive world for annexation, then a warp storm swallows the whole area

imperium forgets they exist

[tiny nova]

It could give them the legs to get their own tech

[odd sparrow]

5k years later they show up with railguns

[atomic pelican]

Or they could just be a unified society by the ethereals, which allows them to advance faster.

[gaunt vector]

first time I have come across that one and I will admit that my heart skipped a beat reading that

[atomic pelican]

Which does have basis in lore.

[odd sparrow]

and yeah idk the STC thing doesn't really do anything for the tau

[atomic pelican]

Imagine how far humanity would go if we were wholly united as a planet

Then you have a image of the post-ethereal tau

[odd sparrow]

like, they're a very fast technlogically advancing faction in any case, it's sorta baked into their identity

[storm jungle]

yeah the entire point of the tau's evolution is they actually united and just spammed engineer classes to build marvels

[atomic pelican]

ERECTING A SENTRY

[storm jungle]

TAU GAMING

[odd sparrow]

SALTZPYRE NOISES

[tiny nova]

But going from primitive to Tau is a large leap, there has to be some mineral/resource or something that explains it

[storm jungle]

but yeah like if you took our world and literally threw all the smart engineers from around the world to a single department im sure they'd show the same results

i think

[atomic pelican]

3000 years is plenty of time for a society to advance

[odd sparrow]

What explains it is the tau are a v technologically inclined, united and efficient race and like

yeah

they had about 5000 years to get where they are now

[atomic pelican]

The pyramids are like 4500 years old, and we aren't even fully united

Yet we've gotten this far

[tiny nova]

They had 5000 years to get average bs4

[odd sparrow]

shut

we have strength 5 okay

[atomic pelican]

LMAO

[odd sparrow]

it makes up for it

[tiny nova]

I got t5 on the Boyz now

[odd sparrow]

Yall can't even scratch orks now

we can

,, not amazingly well but still

[atomic pelican]

drukhari poison

[tiny nova]

Lasguns haven't changed efficiency against Orks

[odd sparrow]

huh they haven't? aren't they S3

i haven't played in ages

[storm jungle]

I cant wait

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/762065410492858389/862061768095563776/image0.jpg

[tiny nova]

S3 against t4 or t5 equals 5s to wound either way

[atomic pelican]

Theyre s3 so going to t5 they still wound on 5s

[odd sparrow]

ah

[odd sparrow]

tfw cathay

[tiny nova]

Tfw we will get another three kingdoms before another shogun

[atomic pelican]

Space marines malding tho

For t5 orkz

[tiny nova]

I look forward to the day

[atomic pelican]

Tww3 cathay is three kingdoms 2

All absorbed into the fantasy setting

[odd sparrow]

dong zhuo is just an ogre

[tiny nova]

There's also a literal Japan area in Cathay iirc

[odd sparrow]

there's an area for p much every ~vague eastern area~

[tiny nova]

Atleast there was in the warband mod lol

[odd sparrow]

cathay is china, nippon is japan, ind is india, the other one is southeast asia ig

yes GW is very imaginative

[primal tide]

Boochuresti, Yndonesia, Franc

Much imagination, very thinking

[storm jungle]

Cathay is like the only one i like since it sounds pretty cool

others are

nip

[odd sparrow]

yep

grand cathay sounds cool

[atomic pelican]

Very excited

Three Kingdoms some of my fave aesthetics

Historically

Also mythologically

[storm jungle]

Ancient china just had a lot of swagger yeah

[cursive hull]

https://tenor.com/view/guan-yu-attack-ready-to-fight-gif-13970226

Absolutely.

[atomic pelican]

God I wish the statue of liberty was even nearly as cool as this

[gaunt vector]

what year was that made in?

[atomic pelican]

Recently cant remember when exactly

[cursive hull]

Recently, from memory.

[gaunt vector]

not suprising

[atomic pelican]

Huge ass Guan Yu

[cursive hull]

Guan Yu being the god of brotherhood and kinship is a lot cooler than god of war, just sayin'.

[atomic pelican]

U right

[primal tide]

Brotherhood and kinship? Sounds kinda like family

[atomic pelican]

I love gods that have alot of domains

Like rather than just 1

Esp if theyre odd or conflicting someyimes

[coarse mirage]

THat's what's so powerful about it

[cursive hull]

Guan Yu was such a badass that he was deified.

Although, whether he was a real person I think is still debated.

Three Kingdoms is a period wreathed in mystery.

If he did exist, and if what half he is said to have done is true? He deserves to be deified.

[coarse mirage]

I dont think anyone is worshipping the figure.

[atomic pelican]

I assume he means deified in the sense that figures like Caesar are

Not seen as gods or worshipped, but seen as great men of legends

[storm jungle]

^

Its a case of

[coarse mirage]

Ah okay

[storm jungle]

Yeah he/she was a dick

[coarse mirage]

Venerated

[storm jungle]

But they also did pretty notorious things that we need to study

[atomic pelican]

Yee

[storm jungle]

that kinda thing

[errant mauve]

Guan Yu should also be considered the god of big ego

[karmic stump]

Anyone read godblight?

[open marsh]

I have

[karmic stump]

nice

Good that GW is finally giving the Imperium more power boosts

[open marsh]

Yeah. and no longer on a slowly losing defense

Man the Chaos fanboys were pissed

[karmic stump]

Fuck Chaos fanboys, they chose the wrong faction

"Wahhhh wahhhh give us more victories"

[cursive hull]

I mean

Yeah, there was a particular Chinese Emperor who "Deified" Guan Yu

[karmic stump]

The grimdark shit is what ruins 40k anyway, most people like 40k because they like the Imperium, so it's good to see them winning

[atomic pelican]

[cursive hull]

I don't think they mean literally as in "Made him a god."

But more to do with "Believes more people should be like."

Which is inherently weird given Guan Yu was very singular and was exceptional because he was so singular.

[dim totem]

I don't get why people don't like grimdark in 40k

[cursive hull]

But I guess they meant more his general arch of being loyal.

[dim totem]

Didn't 40k basically coin the term

[atomic pelican]

Most people are fine with it

I think It's a very group who arent

Though there are certainly grimpderp moments which are just

bad writing problems

not really a problem with being grim

[errant mauve]

Sui Dynasty moment

[frosty cobalt]

50% of why im here is for the grimdark? thats what makes it funny

the other 50% is for the xenos

[atomic pelican]

If you removed space marine stats, xenos would out number the imperium

[cursive hull]

If I'm not wrong, this is why Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei are considered the "Protagonists" of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

[atomic pelican]

In terms of popularity

It's not really fair to compare the entire imperium's popularity to any one xeno

Since it's a uh

category

Even then saying "most" people play for imperium is probably a stretch, considering chaos too

[cursive hull]

Basically, someone played favorites with history.

Even though the peach tree ceremony folks didn't even win. They didn't even out live the war.

Like, I whole heartedly believe that part of the Romance is true.

Nobody with any context to the start of the Three kingdoms period lives to see it finished.

[final spruce]

You were going to anger the IG stan in me

[atomic pelican]

DFHSN

[karmic stump]

I mean yeah but it doesn't make it good

[karmic stump]

Funny?

[atomic pelican]

It's pretty hilarious yeah

[frosty cobalt]

yea

[karmic stump]

People like 40k because they like seeing the Imperium purge

[errant mauve]

It's mainly because during the Ming Dynasty (when pseudo-historical fictional plays set during the time period really took off) didn't recognize Cao Wei as the legitimate successor to the Han, so all the plays at the time, including RoTK had Liu Bei and the gang as the good guys while putting Cao Cao etc as bad.

[final spruce]

Yeah because how bad they make it

[karmic stump]

Whatever

[cursive hull]

...Not really? Not for the reasons you imply.

[frosty cobalt]

the absoulte hellfest that this universe is, is hilarious

[atomic pelican]

Drukhari are imo the funniest faction in 40k since they're so over the top silly

Like, the 1st drukhari codex may be the funniest literature to ever come out of 40k

[cursive hull]

Chuds get ejected from the Fandom like shots out of a rail gun anymore.

[karmic stump]

It's more of a serious military scifi universe, at least now

[frosty cobalt]

get purged wait what?

[karmic stump]

Maybe not 30 years ago

[atomic pelican]

I think we have a smoothy

[cursive hull]

Ah, I see.

[errant mauve]

If RoTK was written in say, the Jin Dynasty, I wouldn't be surprised if Cao Cao was the protagonist.

[frosty cobalt]

u say that now lol

[cursive hull]

Huh

[atomic pelican]

I been known but it's like

[cursive hull]

Yeah, that does make sense.

[atomic pelican]

a level of smooth that I wouldn't even interact with

[frosty cobalt]

mhm

[atomic pelican]

Like steam forums smooth

[errant mauve]

Also, Chaos rules! >:D

[frosty cobalt]

LOL

[final spruce]

[frosty cobalt]

ye iron warriors 4 lyfe

[karmic stump]

Would you prefer the Imperium be on a slowly losing defense?

[errant mauve]

Good lad

[frosty cobalt]

yes

[dim totem]

Nothing wrong with that

[atomic pelican]

that's kind of the point yes

to be a failing imperium

[karmic stump]

So you don't like Godblight?

@open marsh we got one

[final spruce]

I mean the Imperium almost got destroyedin dark imperium

[vapid tiger]

what the fuck am i reading

[atomic pelican]

brainnrot krug

brainrot

[karmic stump]

what

What did I say

[vapid tiger]

bruh

[frosty cobalt]

i think that there are some good plot points in it, and the whole belief deal is kinda neat to explore, but it shouldnt mean that they go all super sayian

[vapid tiger]

capital B Bruh moment

[final spruce]

Now people understand why I fear krieg getting plastic and becoming the new cadian and ig poster boys

[atomic pelican]

Yep

[frosty cobalt]

stop making me want nitro for these emotes lol

[errant mauve]

haha

[karmic stump]

So you would prefer the Imperium keep losing???

[atomic pelican]

@frosty cobalt Have u done the 3 months free thing yet?

[frosty cobalt]

kinda yea thats the whole point

[atomic pelican]

That's hwo I got my nitro

[open marsh]

There are alot of salty sandras on this server. Hate most of 40k lore.

[atomic pelican]

how*

[frosty cobalt]

??

[atomic pelican]

Epic has a 3 months free of nitro thing

[errant mauve]

^

[atomic pelican]

If you're okay with epic

[vapid tiger]

i mean the imperium being a collapsing empire has been a central thing in 40k since the first rulebook was published in 1987

[errant mauve]

That's why I have nitro rn x)

[frosty cobalt]

ah ill check it out

[karmic stump]

ikr

[frosty cobalt]

yea not to be a radical but i dont want the fascistic imperialist empire to win?

[errant mauve]

I think Chaos is cool. Imperium is alright but not my favourite.

[karmic stump]

I wonder where they come from 🤔

[atomic pelican]

I assume one of medic's braintumors sloughed off and grew up into this new one

[frosty cobalt]

its a cool theme and aesthetic but i dont want them as the good guys

[karmic stump]

But lore changes.

[open marsh]

Name a faction who arent that

[frosty cobalt]

nids

[errant mauve]

I've been playing Chaos for 11 years so Imperium can suck it >:D

Ignore that I have 4000 points of White Scars

[karmic stump]

GW has gotten out of its edgy teenage phase and acknowledges that the Imperium is the protagonist people want to see win, instead of constantly being on the defense, constantly being "doomed"

[vapid tiger]

what

[atomic pelican]

lmao this is bait

no one is this stupid

even medic isn't this stupid I think

[vapid tiger]

i mean hold on

[errant mauve]

we are on a 40k discord...

[vapid tiger]

maybe he's serious

[atomic pelican]

That's true

[vapid tiger]

it's a 40k discord

@karmic stump you do realize that "the imperium is doomed" has been a "tell, don't show" thing for well over a decade at this point right

[open marsh]

Heads up. Unless you just want to get a migraine here. Just say that the Eldar are the greatest faction. Space marines are the worst faction. and AoS is better than 40k in every way. Its how convos tend to go here

[frosty cobalt]

lol

[atomic pelican]

that's right heelboy, lick lick

[final spruce]

Wdym we IG stans here

[atomic pelican]

That's tru

[vapid tiger]

like most stories have been "imperials kick someone's ass" and everyone who isn't imperial usually gets treated as a sort of "npc" compared to it

[atomic pelican]

The IG stans get by just fine

[vapid tiger]

and then at the end

[frosty cobalt]

yea ig for lyfe

[vapid tiger]

"oh but remember the imperium is doomed"

[dim totem]

IG represent

[karmic stump]

You fail to acknowledge stuff like chaos and plague marines

[open marsh]

Cadian stans. Not so much IG

[vapid tiger]

plague marines?

[open marsh]

Because apparently its 100% okay for all regiments to be retconned into Cadia-clones

[atomic pelican]

the funniest thing is that I'm p sure every IG player here has more investment than medic

[frosty cobalt]

cries in steel legion

[karmic stump]

Plague marines are marines devoted to nurgle...you don't even know lore????

[vapid tiger]

I know what a plague marine is and your description is like

that's very barebones

[dim totem]

We know the lore but who questions plague marines

[vapid tiger]

I meant what does that have to do with what I said

[final spruce]

Bouhouhou cadian pattern armmor bouhouhou

[atomic pelican]

green is cadian zherlum

smh mortarion got retconned into being a cadian

[frosty cobalt]

damn didnt know abbadon made paint outta the planet

[atomic pelican]

Had to collect to paint plague marines

[atomic pelican]

AGHNG

[karmic stump]

Plague marines and others like berserkers are always portrayed as "more powerful" than standard marines, chaos is always portrayed as "more powerful" and so are xenos. The imperium is constantly getting its ass kicked. Wtf are you smoking to claim the Imperium wins most conflicts?

[atomic pelican]

That video kills me

everytime

[karmic stump]

I feel like you are twisting lore to suit some narrative

[frosty cobalt]

lol

[vapid tiger]

bruh

have you been

paying attention

to 40k

[atomic pelican]

this has to just be one of medic's alts

[vapid tiger]

aside from a few bl novels

[atomic pelican]

I shit you not, he stirs bait and only medic responds

It's that or he's some spawnling

[vapid tiger]

Chaos is constantly like

[open marsh]

"I dont like this particular lore. therefor it must be bait". Gotta love PJC's logic

[vapid tiger]

Portrayed as a cartoon villain who constantly gets foiled aside from the fall of cadia, look at vigilus for how shit turned right back around to the status quo

[storm jungle]

Im late

but jesus christ

[vapid tiger]

And xenos have been shit on for years lmao

[storm jungle]

stop mentioning the eldar already

[errant mauve]

uh

[storm jungle]

lmao

[errant mauve]

anyways

[vapid tiger]

Always to make marines more powerful looking

[atomic pelican]

Unleashing the finale

[errant mauve]

Anyone wanna read a fan codex I've been writing for my IW homebrew? Only a few pages as its rly WIP.

[atomic pelican]

Gamers give me your strength

Im gonna do it

[frosty cobalt]

sure

[final spruce]

They are on the tabletop which is said by GW to be the true lore

[errant mauve]

Thanks mate

[frosty cobalt]

nice escapades pfp btw

[final spruce]

Which is why Csm sucks

[vapid tiger]

Dante soloed the swarmlord when Calgar couldn't, Ghaz got his head chopped off like a bitch (albeit to Ragnar which makes it less painful than it would've been otherwise), the Eldar can't catch a break and have been worfed into oblivion, etc

[errant mauve]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11bOF05JIGNsQbXiF6OPnjWku6w9PoqYViRKxVKr3DJ8/edit?usp=sharing
Only 5 pages rn but I'm trying to make it feel like a codex 🙂

[karmic stump]

Allow me to deconstruct your points

[vapid tiger]

oh god

[karmic stump]

Good

[karmic stump]

They haven't but okay

[open marsh]

This is entertaining, watching yall jump in someone else's shit for once. Like wow. Looking at it from the 3rd person.

[karmic stump]

Marines get shit on, read up on Lamenters

[karmic stump]

Good.

[vapid tiger]

my brain

[final spruce]

Isnt the lamenters lore like 12 y old now ?

[vapid tiger]

You do realize that you can't have good opponents for the Imperium if the opponents aren't threatening, right?

Also "they aren't"

They get shit on in lore and then don't get model updates for years at a time

[atomic pelican]

you think they actually play the game?

unlikely

[karmic stump]

Who cares about models? This is about lore

[vapid tiger]

The models are like the core of 40k that's why it exists

[open marsh]

"Marines dont get shit on"

Me: casually watches the Scythe of the Emperor get absolutely wiped out and their home system scoured of all life by the Nids. Even as they desperate but fruitlessly try and protect something of it.

[vapid tiger]

That's why the bolter looks like it does

That's decades old lore

Which is good it's great

So is the badab war

[frosty cobalt]

ah yes a tiny side chapter gone, what a blow to the imperium

[vapid tiger]

now contrast that with the second war for damnos

[final spruce]

GW literally said lore is only here to sell minis

[vapid tiger]

Where the ultramarines, after losing in the first war for damnos, come back and wipe out the planet with like 200 marines

[frosty cobalt]

also good shit, the bottom of the barrel of an already mistreated group

[vapid tiger]

And calgar uses a necron arc pylon like master chief handles a machinegun turret

[open marsh]

Okay then

casually watches the Imperial Fists get wiped out by the Orkz and a bunch of randos from other chapters having to get dressed up like them so that people dont know they got wiped

[vapid tiger]

Gauss pylon*

[primal tide]

https://tenor.com/view/혼파망-피자-당황-community-chaos-gif-16635574

[karmic stump]

Good

[slow prawn]

That was literally thousands of years ago

[karmic stump]

It looks like it does because of good designers who know how to make stuff look simple and great

[crisp heath]

🍿

[vapid tiger]

because it has to be simple

[frosty cobalt]

that was the war of the beast yea? something as big as the heresy which almost wiped out legions? sounds about right

[vapid tiger]

because it's for toy soldiers

[errant mauve]

Thanks!
The 114th Grand Battalion is my favourite Grand Company in the lore, and I built my 30k IW based off of its traitor elements. I've recently been updating my 40k army so it continues the narrative for my 30k one.

[open marsh]

Narik's boyos

[glad prism]

Its a solid army too ❤️

[open marsh]

[errant mauve]

Narik? He's a traitorous dog. Ker Thelon 4 lyfe

Jk, Narik's probably my second favourite IW

[open marsh]

Dantioch is my fav. Followed by Kyr Vhalen

(in before someone gets salty about talking positive about space marines)

[frosty cobalt]

yall teach me so much, if uHh and medic over here tried to teach me lore id probably think humans where the only ones in the galaxy XD

[atomic pelican]

Yeah that's pretty much the case

He talks in big words and scares the new lot, but those of us who've been here awhile know the snake

[karmic stump]

The fact of the matter is that you hate the Imperium because it doesn't align with your views and agenda, like everything else you consume, because 40k stands out from the crowd and because you want to see the Imperium fail

[errant mauve]

I'd say my top 5 are

1. Honsou
2. Narik
3. Forrix
4. Barban
5. Danti

[vapid tiger]

what the fuck

i like the imperium

[dim totem]

Everybody likes the imperium

[open marsh]

sad Vhalen noises. And by noises, that means a never ending stream of vulgarities and curses of you and all you hold dear

[glad prism]

If your views tend to align with any of the factions of the 40k universe, you really need to re-evaluate your positions thoroughly.

[errant mauve]

Vhalen ins #6

[primal tide]

You're supposed to find the imperium repugnant numbnuts

[dim totem]

Wouldn't be here if I didn't secretly want to be a space marine

[errant mauve]

I made a model of Vhalen

one second

[final spruce]

Wait you guys are arguing that current 40k lore isnt Grimdark and people want the Imperium to win yet you keep listing moments where the Imperium or its factions are pushed to extinction or near it ?

[glad prism]

UwU, Mayo army time ❤️

[vapid tiger]

The Imperium is great because it's this cheesy, over-the-top, horrific mess that's honestly just as comedic as it is dystopian and awful

[final spruce]

I don't understand anymore

[errant mauve]

oops

[vapid tiger]

which is why it's funny and also awesome

[errant mauve]

It isn't saved on my PC

feelsbadman

[primal tide]

It's just a mess, medic underwent mitosis and now there's 2

[final spruce]

Nah atleast Uhh seems cool with "cadian pattern flak armor"

[karmic stump]

And people don't like those moments. They want to see the Imperium win. Why do you think Astartes got so popular?

[atomic pelican]

we are the ass tartes

because they're big guys in power armor

[karmic stump]

Do you think it'd be better if the marines boarded the ship and all got killed by meltaguns instantly?

Because you hate them?

[final spruce]

Because they are one of the strongest ttp factions and the one that is the most pushed with the most lores ?

[primal tide]

Bro that would be sick, so yes

[frosty cobalt]

hell yea

[glad prism]

Sometimes, it would at least be funny reading that

[atomic pelican]

Yes

[dim totem]

Why do you assume people want a faction to "win"

[frosty cobalt]

watching some lame ass human heretics absolutely flatten a boarding team would be a great read

[open marsh]

Since when have I ever said that the Imperium isnt a massive fustercluck kept alive by mere spit and glue and pure stubbornness, zealotry, and horrific dictatorships and a complete absence of human rights?

[storm jungle]

Damn boi

THIS IS A WARZONE

[glad prism]

Just as funny as it would be to watch an Incubi and a Striking Scorpion get curb stomped by an Ork while fighting over who's objectively the prettiest

[storm jungle]

[atomic pelican]

Idk if I'd call it a warzone

[vapid tiger]

there's no tension if every other faction in a wargame setting is treated as another way to show how cool marines are through being punching bags more often than not

[primal tide]

Dude tldr I ain't reading all that

[atomic pelican]

It' sjust medic and his brainspawn being made fun of like usual

[vapid tiger]

where every faction is playable

[storm jungle]

Yeah sorry i just landed here

[vapid tiger]

or supposed to be

[atomic pelican]

Most people here are on the same side

UwU

[frosty cobalt]

in the grimdarkness of the darktide discord, there is ony war

[atomic pelican]

Being on any social media is just like being a ork

[vapid tiger]

I just wanna see green football hooligans slap big space armor men

[open marsh]

Its what happens if you arent talking about AoS or Eldar

[vapid tiger]

and then get slapped back

[glad prism]

Darktide 2: Just Hug It Out

[vapid tiger]

and then also get cool stories out of the slappy men

[frosty cobalt]

damn i love talking bout tau, no one give me crap

[open marsh]

Good point, Talking positive about tau is acceptable as well

[frosty cobalt]

sept for maybe people like uH

[vapid tiger]

that also align with the themes set up by the slappy men setting

[final spruce]

Dunno i like iG

[vapid tiger]

like the whole collapsing empire

But you keep complaining about flak armour

[open marsh]

I do to. Or i wouldnt be salty at the retcons to make everyone into Cadians.

Imagine if the rebels got killed in star wars, or if in lotr sauron won, or if the covenant wiped out humanity in halo, or if ripley died in Alien. People don't want to see the bad guys win, that's a shit story

There are protagonists and antagonists, and those protagonists win

He's a fuckn looker too

For a reason

More battle damage on the next one pls, Mayo ❤️

[primal tide]

I wanna see it

[gusty fulcrum]

Unless it a movie specifically about villains being villains

[karmic stump]

So don't bitch when the stormtroopers, or in this case chaos and orks, get treated like stormtroopers

[frosty cobalt]

and like rebels all die a bunch???

[errant mauve]

He's here to chew gum and smush Loyalists.

And the Grand Battalion just lost the STC for gum....

[frosty cobalt]

and lotr they almost lost???

[dim totem]

No it wouldn't, try reading the last ringbearer about saurons empire being the only industrial society in middle earth. It's amazing

[open marsh]

[karmic stump]

Oh okay

[dim totem]

The empire in star wars is dope too and so are the rebels but I don't root for a faction to win, this isn't football

[karmic stump]

So you're all just idiots

Typical of your kind

[frosty cobalt]

lol

[vapid tiger]

what is "your kind"

[gusty fulcrum]

I like orkz they make me laugh

[dim totem]

Why does a faction have to win

[errant mauve]

On the 30k side of things... METAL BAWKSES!

[dim totem]

Me lol apprently

[glad prism]

How elitist of you

[dim totem]

stoopid

[karmic stump]

Because we are tired of seeing 40k not embrace what people like about it

[primal tide]

No u

[errant mauve]

should probably go in #40k-minis-and-armies but this is where the people are XD

[gusty fulcrum]

Orkz?

[vapid tiger]

I would say "you and what army"

but that's cliche

[glad prism]

So far, Mayo's had the right idea having his army with him on standby

[final spruce]

You have like an entire chat telling you otherwise

[karmic stump]

Lol

I have entire message boards behind me

[frosty cobalt]

xenos?

[karmic stump]

You're just a drop in the bucket

Go back to reddit

[frosty cobalt]

on /tg/ probably

[glad prism]

The bar is beneath the fucking floor if that's your metric.

[final spruce]

Yeah reddit greentexts I assume

Or grimdank

[dim totem]

Ok so enlighten me what people like about 40k

Bc I seem to like things wrong

[karmic stump]

They like seeing cool space marines kill shit.

[errant mauve]

Stop pretending that you post on /40kg/ for the love of god you 2016 tourist

[primal tide]

Jokes on you, I'm behind 7 proxies

[karmic stump]

They like seeing heretics and xenos burn

[dim totem]

I like space marined

[glad prism]

No shame in it, if this is what being wrong is, fuck being right.

[gusty fulcrum]

I assumed it was the over the top action and open ended universe

[dim totem]

But I also like ig, orkz, genestealers

[open marsh]

Me wanting to talk about T'au annexing a Krieg-like War World and making essentially the Grand Army of the Republic in 40k

[frosty cobalt]

me watching titans drop via rail gun shells: damn im in the wrong class huh

[frosty cobalt]

that be Hilarious lol

[karmic stump]

They look at the Imperium and see something to be proud of, to get behind, to defend despite the darkness, to rage against the darkness and win, to hope to see the Emperor reborn and claim the galaxy in righteous conquest

[dim totem]

I like 40k ilm not holding out hope for someone to win

[karmic stump]

That is 40k.

[open marsh]

It's be awesome. Imagine Captain Rex in 40k

[karmic stump]

Your "all factions must be equally considered" bullshit and and "chaos needs more wins" crap is better suited to the 90s or something

[gusty fulcrum]

Well i mean nobody really wins except maybe chaos and even thats more by default then necassrily "winning"

[karmic stump]

People don't want depressing stories like that though

They want hope for mankind

[primal tide]

It is the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable tho

[vapid tiger]

bro what the fuck

di

hold on

[dim totem]

I like depressing stories

[vapid tiger]

did you even read godblight tho

or any book in the dark imperium series

[gusty fulcrum]

They can be fun

[vapid tiger]

or did you read a summary

[dim totem]

Not allowed to like those tho

[gusty fulcrum]

I mean we get Gimdark from 40k for a reason

[plucky moth]

good lord lmao

[karmic stump]

Of course I fucking did

Did you?

[frosty cobalt]

oh read up to see the opinion on grimdark lol

[vapid tiger]

okay so if you did you do realize that a repeating motif is guilliman going "wow this imperium sure does suck wow wee"

[primal tide]

To BE A MAN IN SUCH TIMES IS TO BE ONE AMONGST UNTOLD BILLIONS. IT IS TO LIVE IN THE CRUELEST AND MOST BLOODY REGIME IMAGINABLE. THESE ARE THE TALES OF THOSE TIMES. FORGET THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE, FOR SO MUCH HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN, NEVER TO BE RE-LEARNED. FORGET THE PROMISE OF PROGRESS AND UNDERSTANDING

Truly, hope for mankind can be found here

[vapid tiger]

"wow wee the emperor also might be a bastard we might have been misguided this whole time if this is the end result and the emperor acts the way he does now"

"i will begrudgingly serve him though"

[glad prism]

Survival is not living, life in the 41s and 42nd millennium should have made that abundantly clear by now.

[vapid tiger]

"because right now there's no alternative"

[karmic stump]

What the fuck kind of narrative is that?

[frosty cobalt]

ended june 24th :(

[atomic pelican]

Oofi!

[karmic stump]

Why would Guillliman doubt the Emperor?

[primal tide]

Because GW said so

[vapid tiger]

you didn't read it

because he does

in those books

[glad prism]

Guilliman is having some real second thoughts about his whole predicament.

[gusty fulcrum]

Basicly like most he can get behind the idea but not teh man himself

[karmic stump]

I read the books, he doesn't, he just goes "the imperium was better in my time"

[glad prism]

Directly after talking with him no less, it set the seeds for it already

[karmic stump]

He's not a traitor to his master and race

[vapid tiger]

that's some sus language

[frosty cobalt]

YIKES

[glad prism]

To doubt does not mean to betray.

[primal tide]

Looks like someone only read the sparknotes

[glad prism]

Go huff some copium on r/grimdank, this clearly isn't the place to get behind if this is how fucking obtuse you intend to be.

[storm jungle]

MASTER RACE

CHRIST

[gusty fulcrum]

this fucking conversation

[storm jungle]

johnny rico we miss you come back

[primal tide]

This dude is a fucking clown

[vapid tiger]

he read the summary of some guy on r/40klore or /tg/ who was gushing about one line that says the emperor is growing stronger from the rift and nurgle being wounded

[frosty cobalt]

id take boreal tbh

[grand minnow]

Is that morshu?

[glad prism]

Mf is the whole carnival

[cerulean wagon]

im so glad im avoiding this by being in a session

[glad prism]

I got you cookies 🙂

[cerulean wagon]

thanks?

[errant mauve]

saving this image

[vapid tiger]

or watched valrak 🤢

nothing against him btw

[atomic pelican]

valrak just needs to stop literally space marine larping

[errant mauve]

Valrak's an alright lad, spoken to him a few times

[vapid tiger]

but massive imperial fanboy is not the most reliable source of news

he seems nice though

[dim totem]

I think it's a charming gimmick of his lol

[errant mauve]

He just likes hyping up stuff, even things he knows won't happen haha

[vapid tiger]

would have a beer with him

[primal tide]

@karmic stump what's your opinion on Arch?

[dim totem]

He does suck at battlesector tho

[vapid tiger]

I don't like his content but he seems like a cool dude

[dim totem]

Valrak does

[karmic stump]

Decent loretuber why

[dim totem]

Ah

[karmic stump]

You gonna cancel him?

[atomic pelican]

I didn't think he'd actually spring it

[primal tide]

Get em boys

[crisp heath]

That can't be real

[dim totem]

Ok im out lol

[primal tide]

Goteem

[vapid tiger]

arch is bad at lore aside from just being a shitheel

[cerulean wagon]

i'm only upset with valrak because of the misreading DT articles thing

[vapid tiger]

he's really bad at lore

[crisp heath]

Thats gotta be fake right?

[cerulean wagon]

and i have nothing better to do with my time

[vapid tiger]

and then claims to be "THE LOREMASTER"

[dim totem]

Time for bed nn

[cerulean wagon]

[karmic stump]

Fucking how

You have no evidence

[vapid tiger]

i have plenty :))))

[glad prism]

He's exceptionally bad at presenting it and his voice is like pressing a cheese grater against your ear.

[errant mauve]

watching loretubers
I'd rather just read.

[glad prism]

He is an assault on the senses

[frosty cobalt]

does someone wanna post the pic or should i

[glad prism]

Get 'em.

[crisp heath]

Go for it

[vapid tiger]

Claimed dwarfs in whfb are resistant to magic because "they believe they are" despite the text explicitly stating it's because the Old Ones designed them that way (through channeling magic into the earth from their bodies)

[primal tide]

Do it!

[plucky moth]

Dwarfs are just really down to earth

[storm jungle]

incan ffs

im gonna kill you

[atomic pelican]

rock and stone

[plucky moth]

a grounded peoples

[storm jungle]

AAAA

[frosty cobalt]

cant find it 😔

[plucky moth]

look all jokes aside

[glad prism]

He did it

[plucky moth]

dwarfs rock

[atomic pelican]

[errant mauve]

Stone-faced, if you will

[open marsh]

This is an example of a correct opinion

[vapid tiger]

He also claimed "he doesn't know" how Angron became a daemon prince "I guess he just hung out in the eye of terror for too long"

despite there being a novel about it

[plucky moth]

I'm trying to come up with more dawi puns but I'm coming up short

[atomic pelican]

[glad prism]

Set in stone, if I may

[crisp heath]

Dwarves are gnice

[slow prawn]

Nevertheless, you should never be in a relationship with a dwarf because they’re all miners

[plucky moth]

also Arch sucks

[crisp heath]

Don't take em for granite

[vapid tiger]

Also inserting his headcanon into his videos without saying it's headcanon

[storm jungle]

AAA-

[glad prism]

Correct opinion spotted

[vapid tiger]

he just reads from the wikis and rewords it into long rambles

[storm jungle]

also this reminds me

[atomic pelican]

remember, remember

[frosty cobalt]

do you agree with all of arches views? Warning for real bad speach under here

[atomic pelican]

the deleted gnoblar video forgot

for it is a video

[dim totem]

With the weird fake accent

[atomic pelican]

we shall not forget

[open marsh]

It sucks because dude was a good lore narrator. But fuck if his personal opinions arent massively shit.

[storm jungle]

i actually wish there was a 40k channel out there that just read from wikis/codices but like openly said so since they have a smooth voice and want to provide some audio-formats for people to listen to in the background

[frosty cobalt]

found it

[primal tide]

Based

Shout-out to the arch subreddit for getting taken over and turned into a subreddit about Warhammer architecture

[glad prism]

We believe in cry-ptid superiority 🧎‍♀️

[storm jungle]

Is it still like that?

[plucky moth]

I remember paraphrasing from a wiki once

turns out the diagram for performing a Tracheostomy really undersells the effort required

[crisp heath]

Lol

[primal tide]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ArchWarhammer/comments/nw0p2f/wow_checkout_these_arches

[storm jungle]

LOL

chads

keeping up the good fight huh

[primal tide]

They are doing good work over there

Giving the arch stans more things to seethe over

[cursive hull]

There is a good reason Arch was ejected wholesale from the fandom.

[karmic stump]

How is that relevant?

[primal tide]

How isn't it?

[storm jungle]

Get em boys

[cursive hull]

He 👏 Is 👏 A👏 Chud 👏

[vapid tiger]

very subjective take on the "good lore narrator" bits due to getting lore wrong and his obnoxious voice and rambling but w/e

[karmic stump]

Can't you appreciate his content on its own without involving politics?

[karmic stump]

He's not perfect

[primal tide]

It's not political to dislike racists

So don't bring politics into it

[karmic stump]

I mean it could be both the warp works that way

You believe in something enough, it comes true

[cursive hull]

No. Because he brings it into his work actively.

[primal tide]

Also that

[glad prism]

It paints how he presents the lore, largely by mischaracterising it and drawing wildly stupid analogies, not actual commentary.

[slow prawn]

The Warp isn’t in Warhammer Fantasy!

[cursive hull]

I tried, so hard, to watch the siege of Vraks vidoes.

You know what happened?

Nothing but SJW jokes and jabs at trans people.

Non stop.

Nothing but

[glad prism]

How many did he eventually make anyway?

[vapid tiger]

it doesn't work that way in either 40k or aos

[cursive hull]

Completed the series

[vapid tiger]

unless you're an ork

in 40k

[cursive hull]

I know, I watched them all to torture myself.

[crisp heath]

Also he tangents a lot

[storm jungle]

It only works when like

[cursive hull]

Arch isn't "Being attacked by people bringing politics into it."

He brings it up himself and acts like a complete ass every second he gets.

He's a Chud, and he deserved to get ejected as he did.

[storm jungle]

THERES A GAZILLION sentient beings slowly spawning it with combined belief

ala like Big E

[glad prism]

It would help if the tangents were actually interesting too.

[primal tide]

Instead they're just racist

[crisp heath]

True

[storm jungle]

it tels a lot when the actual company comes out to hunt you down

[karmic stump]

Well it is what it is and he only brings it up because people constantly threaten his hobby

[cursive hull]

Even back before he went full mask off he had his annoying moments.

Lots and lots of whining.

[cursive hull]

"His hobby."

[glad prism]

The man can seemingly drone on forever about seemingly nothing and still squeeze in the odd "joke"

[cursive hull]

Its not his hobby.

[karmic stump]

He deserves to get "ejected" due to wrongthink?

[cursive hull]

He deserves to get ejected for being a cunt

[glad prism]

That's a pretty good analysis, he doesn't tell you lore

[cursive hull]

If you're a cunt, people don't want you in their space.

[crisp heath]

Threaten his hobby?!?!

[glad prism]

He whinges about it

Nonstop

[cursive hull]

Like, I'm sorry social consequences exist?

But they do.

And Arch suffered them and is playing the victim.

[primal tide]

The victimhood complex, it is so iconic

[cursive hull]

Don't be a total fucking shithead who does nothing but be casually bigoted and advocate for gate keeping if you don't want to suffer social consequences.

Its that simple.

Arch failed this simple test

So he got ejected.

Simple as.

[plucky moth]

shouting fire in a crowded room...

[storm jungle]

But yeah like

[karmic stump]

Being a cunt? All he does is disagree with you

[storm jungle]

40k is suppose to be a diverse universe and the guy made a 30 minute video about an african american ultramarine on a book cover

[glad prism]

Glass cannon.

[cursive hull]

On who has or deserves rights, yes.

That's called being a cunt

[karmic stump]

Oh god

Rights

[storm jungle]

when one of the biggest traits of the imperium is how it has countless ethnicites spread across the galaxy

[smoky mauve]

God. That stuff with Arch. That brings up memories. What an asshole

[open marsh]

Wut? There are black Astartes. Like that DA Chaplain

[glad prism]

He's not even trying to hide it under irony, its not even subtext, its fucking text.

[storm jungle]

Yeah it was bizarre

[karmic stump]

Yes but it wasn't established before that Ultramar had blacks

[storm jungle]

"blacks"

[primal tide]

Bro

[crisp heath]

WHOA

[slow prawn]

THE FUCK

[smoky mauve]

Hm.

[primal tide]

Just fucking leave bro

[storm jungle]

Fuck me 😆

[crisp heath]

We got a live one here

[primal tide]

Read the room

[karmic stump]

Other 40k media set the expectation that ethnicities are based on different planets, as Arch points out

Since that's how genetics work

[crisp heath]

OH NO

[karmic stump]

But gw has changed that to pander

[smoky mauve]

Bruh.

[dreamy crest]

We have an arch stand in chat?

[open marsh]

Dark Angel's Chaplain. A Son of the Lion.

[primal tide]

How could you tell, lmao

[plucky moth]

hmmm

[karmic stump]

Shouldn't he look like the lion?

[plucky moth]

y'know

[glad prism]

You really take Arch to be an authority on how genetics work?

[karmic stump]

It's shit like that that worries me

[storm jungle]

"shit like that"

bro

[plucky moth]

I think this has ran it's course, as hilarious as it is

[karmic stump]

GW retconning lore for woke points

[storm jungle]

WHAT WOKE POINTS

[cursive hull]

UUUUGH

[slow prawn]

Asmodai, an established character in DA canon, is black

[cursive hull]

Fuck off

[open marsh]

No?

[cursive hull]

"Woke" Go fuck yourself

Actually die.

[plucky moth]

sorry lads n lasses

as funny as it was watching him dig his hole I had to end him

[storm jungle]

damn it

[cursive hull]

Good

[storm jungle]

i didnt sneak my comment in

[atomic pelican]

lmao

[weak nova]

Its stinky in here

[primal tide]

About fucking time

[slow prawn]

And this book came out in 2014 btw

[weak nova]

Smells like gamer

[storm jungle]

which was that The Emperor himself is literally a half-native american half-hittite superhuman since the start of the 40k universe

[primal tide]

Sure does smell like shit don't it

[glad prism]

Damn, just before I got to drop the mixtape no less

[cursive hull]

...Now lets start betting on whether that was Arch trying to infiltrate in so he could try to get back into the fandom.

[plucky moth]

yea sorry I was too busy laughing, he passed the point of being bannable like 10 minutes ago

[storm jungle]

Im in his server

i used to leak shit back in the day

[open marsh]

There is also a black imperial fist. Ill find him

[crisp heath]

Damn that person could be real, right?

[smoky mauve]

Whelp. Could a seen that banhammer coming from orbit lol

[primal tide]

https://tenor.com/view/kenshiro-meme-omae-omaewamoushindeiru-omaewamou-gif-18658759

[crisp heath]

Lol

[vapid tiger]

damn it I missed the last bit

[glad prism]

Well, however we arrived here, I'm glad we all did it together

[vapid tiger]

should've kept him around for longer, maybe he'd start ranting about white ethnostates or something

[glad prism]

🫂

[open marsh]

Well. Not an "Imperial Fist" but a Celestial Lion, a successor chapter of the Imperial Fists

[cursive hull]

Anyone who uses Woke like a slur is getting ejected.

And anyone who defends Arch for his entirely justified ejection should also be ejected to the same island of chud Arch was.

[primal tide]

I'm glad we could all gather round to shit on that guy together
That's what family does

[plucky moth]

apologies to anyone who might've been annoyed by all that, trust me he was at "any last words status" for pretty much that whole time, I was just seeing how far he'd dig

[glad prism]

It was fun while it lasted

[smoky mauve]

Didnt gw post a thing saying this hobby is for everyone, and if they dont like it they wont be missed? Because while I dont like a lot of their business practices,they got that one right at least

[open marsh]

Yeah that went south quick fast and in a hurry

[cursive hull]

I'd not be surprised if GW said that

GW is a business

They want to make money.

[plucky moth]

if he doesn't like it he can always appeal to Hedge about having his discord server rights violated

[smoky mauve]

Dom would be proud

[primal tide]

He would be

[weak nova]

@plucky moth save any salty DMs for my next vermintide hate mail reading stream

aw i missed the kicking out shame

was doing first vet mission in vt2

[errant mauve]

What a clown that dude was

[storm jungle]

a much more important task

[crisp heath]

It got really crazy there at the end

[rotund siren]

yup

[vapid tiger]

now we can make fun of medic

[frosty cobalt]

i knew from the first message

[errant mauve]

Then again, what did you expect from a dude that agreed with are politically

[vapid tiger]

for initially defending him

[open marsh]

nanidafuq

[vapid tiger]

you were going along with his initial bad takes

[smoky mauve]

There... was a LOT that went down the past 10 minutes lmao

[vapid tiger]

nothing against you but it's funny

[primal tide]

Don't blame medic, he just likes to argue

[vapid tiger]

that's fair

[glad prism]

I'm surprised more gamer words weren't tossed about

[errant mauve]

My rule of thumb nowadays is that

If they brainlessly simp the Imperium but don't have any models, discard the opinion.

[vapid tiger]

i like medic overall tbf

[atomic pelican]

Actually playing the game is a social bottleneck that usually strangles out weirdasses

[errant mauve]

I find that a lot of the "no coloured people in MY 40k" don't have any armies and got into the game 2 months ago

[open marsh]

Just a reminder:

[smoky mauve]

I mean, I like my custodes, but man if they could have done so much more than play lawn flamingo in the imperial palace... lmao

[glad prism]

Time to go and check to see if I might unknowingly share any servers with that chode.

[primal tide]

And the act of painting gives you ample time to rethink ones edgy headcanons

[crisp heath]

Yo Custodes are dope

[errant mauve]

I should paint some Saggitarium pink

Lawnstodes

[crisp heath]

But I also play Necrons

[errant mauve]

hehehe

[open marsh]

Yeah did you see his confusion when I posted a picture of a black Dark Angel

[storm jungle]

Im taking this quote thank you

🦩

[errant mauve]

frfr XD

[smoky mauve]

If this is my lasting contribution to the fandom, I'm glad.

[errant mauve]

You have done a great service to the adeptus custodes

[plucky moth]

yeah lmao my god

[glad prism]

A standout moment in its own right

[smoky mauve]

Maybe that's why Constantine valdor left. To actually do something.

[open marsh]

Custodes just playing croquet

[glad prism]

Valdor's busy playing DND in some shed with a bunch of other sweaty fucks like us

[open marsh]

Roleplaying as his character ||The King in Yellow|| (Bequin: Pariah spoilers)

[vapid tiger]

yup

[final spruce]

So what happened ? I was busy avoiding the bonobos that i call italian football fans

[frosty cobalt]

fun stuff

[vapid tiger]

40k fandom stuff

[final spruce]

So uhhhhh the Arch apologist was banned ?

[smoky mauve]

I'm glad that dude is gone. Like... it's nice to see things in the hobbies you enjoy. It's when they put their kinda bullshit racist stuff into it, it gets bad. Like that one time a British neo nazi became part of the Bolt Action FB group I was part of.

It... was a bad time lmao.

[glad prism]

Mf just set the oversized fuse of his cartoon bomb and Incan eventually cracked

[final spruce]

Why is it that, every time someone comes here and agrees with Medic they end up being banned ?

[crisp heath]

Lol

[storm jungle]

Like the best part is as i said before, the imperium has like thousands of ethnicities you can think of irl

[errant mauve]

Local goon is confused that racism is bad

[open marsh]

Did I stab someone's mother or something?

[storm jungle]

yet people keep getting mad over there being black people in it for some reason

like fuck off

[crisp heath]

Medic tells a take

[final spruce]

I think you are moreso a beacon of smoothbrains

They come to you thinking you're kin

[atomic pelican]

[weak nova]

Dude dug so deep he hit bedrock and instead of stopping he just bashed his head against it til incan pulled the trigger

[glad prism]

If there were Persians in universe attempting to speak Gothic, that's where I draw the line, I can't stand the thought of my people like my parents trying to converse in any other language with that accent

[final spruce]

I guess that cadian pattern flak moment set you in stone

[vapid tiger]

nah it's just that you had an innocuous bad take that was shared by someone who eats glue

[atomic pelican]

another win for cadia

[grand minnow]

Thats a bit harsh

[plucky moth]

fellas let's be nice to Medic alright

[glad prism]

Dude dug his own grave, we just got impatient

[final spruce]

Kinda hard to win when the Cadia puzzle makes Pepa Ping puzzle kid level

[atomic pelican]

😩

[plucky moth]

he made that dude 180 his brain trying to process the existence of a non-white dark angel

[grand minnow]

Fair enough, not saying he shouldnt have been baned, but that was a bit much about the die part

[plucky moth]

I nearly spat out my coffee

[glad prism]

Medic: 1
uHHhHH: uh

[glad prism]

Perhaps, seeing red do be like that sometimes

[frosty cobalt]

i heard the screech as the brakes hit

[glad prism]

He underestimated the power of Family™️

[grand minnow]

New topic, why werent the necrons called the necroffs before they changed

[crisp heath]

Lol

[glad prism]

The right questions are being asked.

[final spruce]

I mean people keep asking us why we hate SM when literally half od the SM fans get banned for being racist or nazi apologetics

[atomic pelican]

[errant mauve]

[plucky moth]

I just don't like ultramarines because that much blue is fucking stupid ok I'm sorry but it's true

[final spruce]

Like cmon man my schyzo brain is beginning to see pattterns

[plucky moth]

fuckin hotwheels looking bastards

[atomic pelican]

Its not even that we really hate space marines. sm fans just arent used to actually getting ribbed like every other faction soes

Does

Thinskin

[open marsh]

What about Genesis Chapter. They are Ultramarines but in red

[smoky mauve]

.... how do you feel about yellow? Lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah the entire legion ultramarine are posterboys is because blue looks pretty on a market front and catches your eyes

[cerulean wagon]

its too light a blue

[storm jungle]

its nothing else

[cerulean wagon]

like

im working on a full blue valk atm

[vapid tiger]

The best homebrew chapter tho??

[errant mauve]

To quote Carab "Based" Cullyn

"Camouflage is the Colour of Cowardice"

[cerulean wagon]

and its in navy blue

[plucky moth]

I like it as like, a secondary colour

[frosty cobalt]

[glad prism]

I'd have preferred a cobalt blue or something I think

[errant mauve]

Brotherhood of the Knot

Poor bastard made a space wolves successor with "knot" in the name

[open marsh]

@smoky mauvebtw there is an entire chapter of Leandros marines

[plucky moth]

like if you showed me armour that was ENTIRELY yellow I'd retch

[primal tide]

Oh no

[plucky moth]

but if it had yellow patterning or something then sure I could vibe with it probs

[glad prism]

This somehow narrows down nothing

[open marsh]

[errant mauve]

So

[smoky mauve]

I dunno. Like the bright colors.... I mean I get it for shock troops? Like they're sorta meant to be seen?

[errant mauve]

2014

/tg/

an innocent anon creates a thread for homebrew SM chapters

[glad prism]

Yeah, sounds about right

[errant mauve]

the heading chapter is a SW successor called "brotherhood of the knot"

[smoky mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/space-marines-gif-12025582

[final spruce]

Oh no

[open marsh]

Oh so dude was meme'ing to meme

[smoky mauve]

Maybe it's all about balance?

[final spruce]

[grand minnow]

[errant mauve]

He was completely unaware

[open marsh]

OH GOD

[final spruce]

[primal tide]

He did knot see that coming

[open marsh]

[errant mauve]

He had written 10 pages of lore for them but the rest of the thread was everyone going "Anon..."

[cerulean wagon]

a blue like this?

[grand minnow]

Knot everyone was into it

[open marsh]

Oh my heart hurts for him. That sweet innocent child

[glad prism]

For every utterly banal homebrew, is one so catastrophically hilarious it becomes a singularity

[smoky mauve]

Oooh that's nice looking

[errant mauve]

He didn't know it was a knot-ty word

[primal tide]

Heh banal

[plucky moth]

yee a blue like that

[open marsh]

Navy or Midnight blue

[plucky moth]

[open marsh]

gingerly hugs his "Lion's Hunters" chapter ; n ;

[errant mauve]

Good ol' Iron and Hazard Stripes

nothin beats that

[cerulean wagon]

[plucky moth]

actually don't mind this

[open marsh]

Ironic is that their color isnt even ultramarine blue

[plucky moth]

if it were like, straight up highlighter yellow I'd die

[vapid tiger]

My friend's homebrew chapter is like that out of weird happenstance

[plucky moth]

I'm colourblind aaaaaaaaaaaa

[frosty cobalt]

haz stripes look fly as hell on anything tho, if i could put them on my tau i would

[vapid tiger]

His first real exposure to 40k was a deathwatch campaign I ran and he wanted to make his own chapter up

[errant mauve]

When the Iron is Within!

[vapid tiger]

But he was in a weird phase?

[glad prism]

Marines Malevolent representation when?

[vapid tiger]

So he wanted to make a chapter of "dat boi"

This was years ago btw

[errant mauve]

I love MM but I am never painting them

[open marsh]

laughs in 3 fully functional color cones in his eyes

[frosty cobalt]

ough those hemets 😱

[odd palm]

Hold up we simping some drip IW models?

[errant mauve]

Executioners 4 lyfe

[glad prism]

So true, Mayo wins again

[errant mauve]

FW IW upgrade kit if you were curious

[odd palm]

Fine taste you have there sir, terrific painting as always my gamer

[vapid tiger]

I said "no that's dumb" as did everyone else and he settled on using the creation tables and making his chapter frog themed. Neat enough

Well we get into the first session and this fucker

[glad prism]

But also, if you ever do one, you have to make it a Deathwatch Apothecary for reasons I need not explain to you (MM that is, not executioners, replied to the wrong one rip)

[open marsh]

"When your brother chapters call you savages and question your geneseed, so you tear their spines out and add them to your kill counter"

[errant mauve]

Nothing is stopping you from putting IW helmets on your GSC

[vapid tiger]

His marine introduces himself

"I SERVE THE AMPHIBIAN"

and this keeps going
