i ignore most of the authors

#

also its not people being antsy about cain, its people being antsy about timeline stuff

#

which

#

the author wrote cain outside of current timeline

#

so that current events don't matter

#

people can write a book and specify a date, doesn't mean tahts the current time frame of other events

#

Also its because ADB is right and wrong in this case in that it was declared to be M42 back when 9e started with indomitus but then they retconned the amount of time that had passed within like a month

#

basically its people argueing over a moot point and ADB didn't even need to correct it

storm jungle
#

ADB always has shit takes tbh lol

dim totem
#

burn him with fire

storm jungle
#

Later. I’m drinking hot chocolate

cerulean wagon
storm jungle
#

LOL

#

I bet Thorpe gave great advice

#

“No no you need more big battles where elves die. Put the romance in between those”

He's just pissy because he got fired from his most well-paying job recently 😔

cerulean wagon
#

oh?

final spruce
#

He got fired from Riot's lore team recently

#

They didn't want him for their upcoming MMO's stories

cerulean wagon
#

oh damn

#

tbf prob not his fault on that one

#

riot are pieces of shit

final spruce
#

Most companies are

dim totem
#

come and tell that to my LoL livestreaming colleague lul

final spruce
#

I'm sure they would agree

dim totem
#

he always gets upset when you shit on riot

final spruce
#

Oh ? Rito fanboy ?

#

That's unusual

dim totem
#

i dont know what rito is

cerulean wagon
#

you

dim totem
#

my colleague is a bit of a prick

final spruce
#

It's when you wanna talk bad about Riot you call it Rito

#

Oh, makes sense

dim totem
#

oh lol

#

ill test it out next time i see him

final spruce
#

This gon' be fun

dim totem
#

what are other fun things i can say to riot fanboys

vast frigate
#

its the same as Valve and Volvo pls

serene jungle
#

game was made on blizzards warcraft 3 engine (that they bought license for) because they had no knowledge on how to make actual games, so all they did and guinsoo was use the editor the engine came with before they could hire people who actually knew how to make games

dim totem
#

well i dont want him to go call hr over me workolace bullying him about league of legends

#

the true flex would be getting really good at lol and beating his ass

primal tide
#

Sit down and have a honest conversation with him about how you appreciate him as a colleague, but that you have been getting a bit annoyed with how frequently he's been talking about LoL.

You can mention that you think he's a great guy, and that you understand LoL is for impotent ragebabies so it's only natural he would enjoy it. Just that you'd prefer to hear about it less often.

You could freestyle some comment at the end about tencent too

serene jungle
#

Or you could just ask him if his life is so uninteresting that he has to speak about League instead of himself in social situations if you really want to go dark

errant mauve
#

ADB has always pushed this idea of "interpretive canon" where the idea of a solid canon doesn't exist

#

I am willing to bet my kidney this is partially because there are a very vocal group of chaos fans that hate Talon of Horus lul

storm jungle
#

Lmao yeah

#

he actually whipped some nightlord fans for criticism on his konrad book

#

saying that apparently the readers had stockholm syndrome to konrad and passively saying they're idiots KEK

errant mauve
#

I'm pretty sure it's also because

#

ADB writes exclusively

#

Either

#

Bangers

#

Or genuine poopoo

storm jungle
#

Yeee, perfectly put

#

and as usual with any author

#

he cant take criticism

#

but when its any other writer its just basking in their knowledge

errant mauve
#

Chris Wraight and James Swallow unironically high IQ for not using social media lul

#

They know their limits

storm jungle
#

this tbh

errant mauve
#

Yeah the main diff with ADB imo is that he tries to straight up retcon bedrock level lore

#

Compared to most of the other BL authors

#

So he also probably needs to espouse the whole "no canon" thing to keep his job lul

storm jungle
#

lmao yeah it was a bit weird

#

since I got some people in a group im in

#

who just have this thing of

#

"I talked with the author face to face so i know how he thinks" etc

errant mauve
#

Absolutely false, it's pretty clear to me that Gav has an rng machine in his brain that spews out random words until a coherent topic is form

storm jungle
#

god i hate him

atomic pelican
#

Monkeys at typewriters method of writing

Typical Tau lore

storm jungle
#

Ethereal C'ena will see you now

cerulean wagon
#

tbf thats been lore for em since the start

#

not everyones gonna join peacefully lul

storm jungle
#

ur next you skeleton-fucko

odd sparrow

#

cmon dilara

#

pit me 6ft under already

cursive hull
#

That art does perfectly fit the T'au aesthetic

#

...Reminds me a little of like...

#

Starship troopers? Or that human empire from Endless space 2?

odd sparrow
#

i love how nicely it emphasises the fire warrior silhouette, im a slut for the faceless helmet with a single eye vibes

#

it looks so monolithic

cursive hull
#

Huh

#

No wonder it was similar, the color scheme is very close

storm jungle
#

1 sec let me get some more its fucking great

primal tide
storm jungle
cursive hull
#

Now that is a dangerous task.

storm jungle
cursive hull
#

Landing on an Imperial planet to go all sniper elite on the Imperium?

odd sparrow
storm jungle
#

Dude she just gets fucking RIDDLED WITH BULLETS

odd sparrow
#

all of this even

odd sparrow
#

fucking eviscerated

errant mauve
odd sparrow
#

still tho the recon drone remains one of the best tau designs

storm jungle
#

sorry Imperial your stupid victorian collar is done for

cursive hull
#

That's a drone with a god damn Burst cannon?

odd sparrow
#

i imagine pathfinders deep behind enemy lines just taking turns hitchhiking on its back cus they're tired

odd sparrow
primal tide
atomic pelican
#

The KT art slaps

cursive hull
#

That's deeply frightening.

odd sparrow
#

on tt it only has 5+ BS, so it v rarely hits

cerulean wagon
odd sparrow
#

and iirc is functionally identical to the regular drones with two pulse carbines

cerulean wagon
#

its the pathfinder standard

odd sparrow
#

but the style

#

makes up for it

cursive hull
#

Spooky

cerulean wagon
#

i used one on the party in only war last week

#

think the weapon specialist is actually traumatised

atomic pelican
#

I was hoping to see a "the inssurectionaries armed were GSC" twist in the art like that one codex story lul

cursive hull
#

Drones like that are what really make the T'au feel like a real modern force

odd sparrow
#

Yee, tau are the only faction that feels like an actual professional military

#

not super hyped up supersoldiers like marines, eldar or whatever, but not grunts like IG (yesiknowtheyaren'tbuttalkingbroadly) or cults

#

normal ppl but well equipped and trained

#

and not gonna make any big feats of heroism, if they can just gat u down with a rc drone they will

cerulean wagon
#

ye, its whyi chose en for thr campaign im doing

storm jungle
#

sorry ratty but fascism IS the fashion in 40k so no wins allowed

odd sparrow
#

shut

cerulean wagon
#

its modern military tactics vs modern military tactics without being a mirror match

odd sparrow
#

yee! i love IG vs tau

cursive hull
#

Yee!

odd sparrow
#

best dynamic

cerulean wagon
#

getting to escalate through power suits, aux n drones to try and counter this paratroop sniperteam

cursive hull
#

The IG have to rely on less technological solutions, while the T'au do the opposite.

odd sparrow
#

inb4 a segment where they're on the wrong end of a squad of broadsides and just trying to escape underground or smthn hjkgfsdh

#

railguns of unusual size

cerulean wagon
#

the party ambushed a checkpoint and rigged the door to the like, radio building with a grenade

#

when they went back to investigate later the building was burnt out and there was a set of pathfinders scanning the area with a shield drone covering them

primal tide
cerulean wagon
cursive hull
#

Popping smoke, laying down suppressing fire, and generally trying to use as much concealment as possible sounds like your real best chance against the T'au as the IG

odd sparrow
#

bless

cursive hull
#

And yeah, taking out their scary shit first.

odd sparrow
#

ima just try to prevent battlesuits from ever happening

#

i dont need that in my life

cerulean wagon
#

and they only got away with it because the tau operator crit failed starting the shield generator

cursive hull
#

Lol

cerulean wagon
#

and overloaded the bases defences

odd sparrow
#

lmao

cerulean wagon
#

😩

odd sparrow
#

someone's gonna get a visit from the local ethereal

cursive hull
#

Its his first day on the job, he's trying his best.

#

And his only day on the job

cerulean wagon
#

he got a visit from a valkyrie air strike

#

the party just

#

"oh shit the shields are down we can make sure this place remains dust"

cursive hull
#

I mean... An airstrike is a sound option against superior firepower.

cerulean wagon
#

they now can't call further in, or its ill advised anyway

#

the valk came under fire from a railgun

#

pilot succeded in not eating shit

#

in all acounts, the party got very lucky

#

except zherlum, he got burst cannoned by an XV-8

odd sparrow
#

F

#

moth became one with danger lamp

#

wait is that one the moth dude or is that another

cerulean wagon
#

its the moth dude ye

#

the party are so scared of battlesuits the heavy gunner uses a lascannon to target them

odd sparrow
#

hdkjfgas

cursive hull
#

Overkill is better than under.

cerulean wagon
#

but its great cause they have like

#

hyper focused on being a sniper team

#

to the point of out ranging standard tau

cursive hull
#

lol

#

I'm guessing longlas and other long range weapons are their schtick?

cerulean wagon
#

so i'm having to implement tau anti sniper tactics

#

Longlas, Lascannon and a sentinel with a multilas

cursive hull
#

The irony, when you force the T'au to rush you.

cerulean wagon
#

its great fun getting to set it up and trying to keep it feeling tau-y

#

i'm open to suggestions on what to torture my players with next as well

#

i may have some fun stuff in store

atomic pelican
#

Orbital ion cannon

cerulean wagon
atomic pelican
#

Single pathfinder shas'ui who snsaks around with a designator

cerulean wagon
#

i think it exists and it uses the lance battery rules

#

which is like

#

500m radius touch of death

atomic pelican
#

GOD

odd sparrow
#

pathfinder activates it as they're on the floor dying

atomic pelican
#

The discrepancy between that and tabletop ion cannon

odd sparrow
#

immediately it's a gandalf RUUUN

cerulean wagon
#

and thena nother 500m radius that just does dmg

odd sparrow
#

whew

atomic pelican
#

This reminds me of the time I was playing against guard and they popped that "arty strike on me" stratagem and it killed another guard hq nearby anf no one else

odd sparrow
#

OOF

#

tbh tho yeah it being a whole km of damage is v fitting if that's meant to be like

#

fired from a ship

cerulean wagon
#

ye TT doesnt represent lore well because balance hard

odd sparrow
#

cus void combat has a ridiculous scale in 40k

#

which i love

cerulean wagon
#

ye

storm jungle
cerulean wagon
#

thats the lance which is uhh

#

the smaller aoe of the 2 bombardment stats

odd sparrow
#

a pain in the ass fighting vs chaos in bfg

cerulean wagon
atomic pelican
#

Its also a 3cp strat 🤔 🤔 🤔

#

All of the direct damage strats tend to be bad I thimk

cerulean wagon
#

its why ive kinda fallen in love with only war

#

like

#

the party took on a hammerhead last session

#

only the lascannon and multilas could scratch it

#

the lascannons first hit knocked the driver out

#

the multi las fired a full volley of 5 shots, only 1 of them did enough to pen cause it was a rear armour hit and disabled the engines

#

and OW has skimmer crash rules

#

it (barely) survived the crash so one of the party members yanked the gunner (still unconcious) out of the tank

#

then the driver woke up, turned the thing around, the las cannon shot him again and the thing detonated killing both the gunner and the guardsman dragging him

#

if the lascannon had rolled any lower on dmg the hammerhead could have just instant killed the sentinel

#

anyway rant over i return to sleep

odd sparrow
#

!! sleep well

gsc rule terra now

storm jungle
#

WHAT ARE THESE DOWNVOTES lul

scenic bolt
#

the first line of defence in preventing gene stealers from getting on terra is the imperial bureaucracy

peak hamlet
#

Bruh terra is basically an ant hill(?) cranked up to 11, have fun eliminating every single person that looks a lil sus

#

You literally cant fully purge them

scenic bolt
#

takes so long to get on terra that generations go by the time your application to land goes through

#

unless you're important

storm jungle
#

look at these comments

#

the Imperium stanning is insane

#

and im someone that LOVES custodes KEK

#

Im starting to get Proud's hate for these guys now ngl

cerulean wagon
#

custodes fanbase is mega cringe

#

bar uhh

peak hamlet
#

What lore that explains how a single genestealer infects a whole world and dooms it?? No i choose to ignore that

cerulean wagon
#

the one player in this server i forget

peak hamlet
#

Jambo the black templar dude you mean?

storm jungle
#

Like I get that custodes are OP but this is basically trying to kill a virus by shooting everyone that has it

cerulean wagon
#

na theres uh

storm jungle
#

SOME is gonna slip away

cerulean wagon
#

i forget his name he was here the other day when we discussed custodes in KT

dim totem
storm jungle
#

possibly

#

this comment is the best tho ngl

#

since this is literally what the GSC is

cerulean wagon
#

i mean

storm jungle
#

and the only thing stopping the entire galaxy's population from becoming a cult is because 40k needs to exist as a tabletop game KEK

cerulean wagon
#

they could manage it if the KT tournie is anything to go by

#

79% win rate

storm jungle
#

OOF

cerulean wagon
#

custodes are a fun faction with a great community

#

honest guys

#

they are just hyper xenophobes that want to have the biggest goldest men

dim totem
#

rip kroot

cerulean wagon
#

Ah i found the player

dim totem
#

pouring one out for my bird homies

cerulean wagon
#

its uh

#

hiyesimokay

#

he's chill

storm jungle
#

hes great

cerulean wagon
#

just needed to mention cause i rag on custodes a lot

#

the community is mostly why

#

i have dealt with the other end more than i have dealt with people like him

#

cause custodes are betterer marines, so imagine taking a marine fanboy and "upgrading" them

scenic bolt
#

idk if even deathwatch stans are as xeno

peak hamlet
#

Custodes are literally "my big space men are stronger than your big space men because i said so". No offense to custodes players but have fun fighting against enemies that can hit you from 3km away while you just have guns in your polearms

cerulean wagon
#

smh

#

custodes can't even reload their own weapons

#

need a serf to give them a new gunstick

storm jungle
cerulean wagon
#

ye sry i prob should have mentioned this back when i complained last dilara lmao

#

if theres one point i agree with ADB on its that majority of people that collect HH, and by extension Custards, are disgusting

#

theres people that call HH the "true" warhammer experience

scenic bolt
#

they're mostly the grogs who havent let go of the fact that the game tried cutting down the number of tables and peripherals you needed after 7th ed

peak hamlet
#

I liked the armor value for vehicles you had back in 7th, the blast templates were cool too

cerulean wagon
#

ye i miss armour facings and blast templates

scenic bolt
#

they were cool, and kinda old school but they really bloated game lengths esp if past the 1500 pt mark

#

facing off against a horde army and having a 40 minute shooting phase

#

moreso to templates

peak hamlet
#

The melee and ranged tables were indeed unnecessary but i kinda liked not having my armored vehicles getting shot down by regular infantry

vast frigate
#

i hate the custodes fanclub, dont get me wrong

#

I also have a collectors edition codex but ignore that for now

#

like, being able to use Godstrike Teleportarium (good job on the name there emps, youre not a god)
And then splitting 10 terminators into 10 squads of 1

peak hamlet
#

Yeah tabletop is a bad representation of 40k anyways, its meant to be fun, thats it. Otherwise having magnus the red on the table would be an insta win

vast frigate
#

All i love about the custodes is that one piece of writing

cerulean wagon
#

mhmm

#

TT and lore are seperate

vast frigate
#

where a normal custodian is just...

#

Facetanking a fucking macarius

#

because his forcefield says so

scenic bolt
#

kinda miss the old lore where they stood around all day and went down to the basement to get a workout on some demons

peak hamlet
#

Take psyker
Open gap in reality
Shove custard in
Close gap in reality
Profit

#

Ez clap

vast frigate
#

something ''The tank keeps up fire, yet his forcefield does not budge. The Custodian bides his time, knowing what is to come next''

#

and then the tank gets clapped by a balistarum aka the custodes wrist launchers

storm jungle
#

lmao

#

yeah the custodes are just cool tbh

#

big lads

#

and women soon too i hope

vast frigate
#

They are the pinnacle of golden age tech tho

vast frigate
#

the custodes are not limited by gender

storm jungle
#

It remains unconfirmed as of yet according to ADB

#

so fingers crossed

vast frigate
#

give me my big, female neck breaker, now.

scenic bolt
#

I'd want it to be so just for the meltdown it'd cause

storm jungle
#

same

scenic bolt
#

after decades of marines cant be women

storm jungle
#

GOD i hope so

#

like it makes sense too, the custodes entire creation is waved away as "gene-alchemy" and is secret

vast frigate
#

having read every scrap of lore on custodes, i can heartily confirm that the emperor;
1; played with the idea
2; Malcador cited it again after his talk about the female marines (which are genetically impossible and that has reason whether we like it or not)
And 3; Big woman

storm jungle
#

Yeah like its mostly because of minis

vast frigate
#

There is this piece right

#

''How about female primarchs? You know the idea is possible.''
And then the emperor warns him that he does not slap Malcador because hes his friend

storm jungle
#

ADB wanted to include them in a novel he was writing but was said "no" because the current custodes range only had male heads and couldnt exactly be updated apparently

#

which is a bit weird but ok

vast frigate
#

Oh definitely

#

But get this

#

people using female stormcast heads

#

fantasy team is 500% better at sculpting heads

scenic bolt
#

GW's early attempts at women in general were quaint to say something

#

they've gotten better

peak hamlet
vast frigate
#

that and

#

lets NOT FORGET

peak hamlet
#

Semi slender and tall custodes > big wide man

vast frigate
#

The thread, long lost
About some lad claiming a custodian can facetank a nuke

peak hamlet
#

Ah yes 40k lore at its finest

vast frigate
#

he just claimed it using 40k science

storm jungle
vast frigate
#

cases of

peak hamlet
#

They arent legion of the damned ffs reeeeeeeee

barren tapir
#

TBH the comments about custodes weren't incorrect

#

And GSC cults were purged before and currently on terra

scenic bolt
#

that doesnt look half bad

peak hamlet
#

Yoo dilly i did that too once 👀

custodes.jpg
vast frigate
#

''WELL ACTUALLY HE CAN PHASE OUT AND IN OF THE MATERIUM SO HE CAN DODGE THE NUKE''
''HIS REFRACTORY GOLDEN FIELD CAN ANNIHILATE THAT PRESSURE WAVE AND THE ARMOR CAN STAND THE HEAT''

#

etc

#

like this chad in the comments went at it with him for a week before i couldnt find the thread anymore

#

''Just because the armor can stand the blow, doesnt mean the occupant can''

barren tapir
#

BTW, custodes have weapons so dangerous that even having one would condemn your family to death... Although i think it is also just the emperor being a dick in such case

vast frigate
#

Oh no its not that

#

its a law set up to prevent anyone from even trying

cerulean wagon
#

ye its not a danger thing its a respect thing

vast frigate
#

Custodes have shit like the Nullfield rings, which launch a fucking vortex rocket

cerulean wagon
#

custodes are basically sacred

barren tapir
vast frigate
#

You have to imagine that these pieces of armor are all that is left of the Golden age's finest technology

peak hamlet
#

Pet the custodes

barren tapir
cerulean wagon
#

golden age musta been pretty garbo

vast frigate
#

The emperor hoarded a big vault of it below the mountain the palace sits on now

#

its definitely not all in tiptop shape but...

#

its still pure golden age tech

barren tapir
vast frigate
#

which only the likes of the STC necromunda, the data vaults of mars and some relics inside chapters, can mirror

#

hell, if you manage to get cuddly comfy with an ark mechanicus, and it sees you as worthy, your new Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Shipfriend can show you time on a lateral plane

barren tapir
#

One person who thought that Age of Tech power armours were inferior to imperial ones because suits that were passed for generations on a semi feudal world were inferior

vast frigate
#

Lmao dipshit

#

its called Golden Age Technology for a reason

cerulean wagon
#

honestly tho

vast frigate
#

ngl i want to see a golden age boardgame

barren tapir
#

I know, and i know that the SMin the great crusade faced people with better armour than theirs

cerulean wagon
#

the greatest thing to happent o lore recently is getting warhammer horror n crime

#

cause they touch on none main stuff and are just people living in the setting

#

extra comfy

peak hamlet
#

There was a ship in one 40k book that basically lured a few admech ppl in to repair its warp drive and then fucked out of this galaxy

vast frigate
#

Yep

#

theres also an ark that came back after being lost in the shores of time for a biut

#

and it lectured a few space marines and a techpriest on how sad humanity is compared to before

peak hamlet
#

Very based ship, also just hijacked the servitors and disabled the marines armor

vast frigate
#

ayeyyeye, we talking about the same ship

barren tapir
peak hamlet
#

Very based indeed, still one of my favourite 40k books

vast frigate
#

the techpriest almost got his almonds fried

#

still one of my favorite books tbh

barren tapir
peak hamlet
vast frigate
#

Lmao

#

Could be misremembering yeah

#

captain got tortured to death

#

in the best 40k ways possible

barren tapir
#

You probably mixed it up with the Speranza

barren tapir
#

I always mix those two Age of Tech ships... Then there is also the slaugthersong

#

If you look closely there are a lot of Age of Tech things around, just well hidden

peak hamlet
#

The blood angel sucessor dude who turned into some kind of muscle monster after telling kairos to fuck off was sick too

barren tapir
#

Like some ships used by the inquisition, that use cloacking tech from the Age of Tech

vast frigate
#

ye

#

tbh one of the main points for 40k is that authors explain later on what happened to chatacters on the side

#

during discussions etc, they have their notes with them to explain what and how

barren tapir
#

Oh, how to forget the graviton guns... You know, it would be really nice if someone would know how to make them 😉 😉

vast frigate
#

also the author of the book apparently had a small thing on how the captain and crew died

final spruce
#

😔

barren tapir
#

Unless is a special type of smoke that mess up with those kind of optics too

#

Although for NV and heat optics a flare can be a good replacement

final spruce
#

I'd agree but we are supposed to be SpecOps-y and say sneaky, flares don't help lul

barren tapir
#

Flares help if used correctly

#

Misdirection is also part of being sneaky

final spruce
#

Indeed but sadly its not a question of real-life utility but ttrpg

cerulean wagon
#

i mean, if you shoot a flare while people have NVGs they are gonna have issues

#

don't see why i wouldn't allow it

eternal ledge
#

So listening to "Know No Fear" and madman when Guiliman gets pissed he gets PISSED

#

The amount of Imperial stans in that thread is insane tbh lul

#

aaaaa

odd sparrow
#

pain

#

wait so how many custodes are there meant to be vs a whole hive world of cults

storm jungle
#

Like 10,000 in total since its their moniker

#

Im glad Proud isn’t here to see this KEK

frosty cobalt
#

But not all would leave the palace to fight

storm jungle
#

Yeee this

odd sparrow
#

oh yeah i could see that working then if it's the full host of goldenbois

#

but if it's like

frosty cobalt

frosty cobalt
#

YEA LMAO

odd sparrow
#

at some point it becomes a matter of population logistics with this nonsense

storm jungle
#

Half the comments are saying CONSTANTLY that the custodes can just kill terra’s entire population to get rid of the cult and I’m like THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS

odd sparrow
#

that is ABSOLUTELY not how that works lmao

#

heads too far in the grimdark

frosty cobalt
#

And we all know terra is great with its pop logi

odd sparrow

lost in the sauce

They are so smart!

u can't find the cults? well just kill the entire population of ur capital world

They're like, really smart!

storm jungle

Custodeez gene-nuts 🧬

odd sparrow
#

it isn't like they care about innocent lives so that makes perfect sense right

frosty cobalt
#

Im with proud here i really hate custodes as an army

#

I wish they were still just plot

odd sparrow
#

In KT i understand they're heinously ridiculously op rn

Like sorry that ur P2W faction might loose

#

custodes fireteam is 2 men with 18 wounds

barren tapir
#

Actually the custodes could and would do that

#

But we know too well that GW will not do that

odd sparrow
#

i haven't read through them proper but i understand they have 4 action points per custodes, and they can do some ridiculous nonsense with repeating single orders

barren tapir
#

They care only for the palace

odd sparrow
#

so like, fighting many times in a single turn

#

plus they're very hard to dent with most weapons cus like. 18 wounds and a 2+ ass save

visual pumice
#

probably

odd sparrow
#

so u can quickly get the idea

visual pumice
#

yeah

odd sparrow
#

four custodes just roaming about instagibbing one, or multiple, of ur dudes per activation

frosty cobalt
odd sparrow
#

The only prescription is more rail rifles

barren tapir
#

The palace is pretty much an hive by itself

barren tapir
frosty cobalt
#

And someone isnt infected whos just some menial?

visual pumice
odd sparrow
#

sadly u can only have one rail rifle per fireteam now

#

so 2 in a KT, max

barren tapir
odd sparrow
#

on the upside tho, the regular gun drones are lowkey great for some reason

#

u can reroll any or all of your ranged attack rolls

#

Relentless: Each time a friendly operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack with this weapon, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, you can re-roll any or all of your attack dice. ()

#

drone says die

barren tapir
#

Custodes don't care about most of terra, they care only about the palace

#

Threaten it and you die

frosty cobalt
#

Yea, but they wouldnt kill over 10 trillion people just to get a live patriarch

barren tapir
#

As long the cult don't bother with it they keep away

frosty cobalt

Which is what these people are suggesting

odd sparrow
#

yee cus that's ridiculous lol

frosty cobalt

So thats why im confused by you saying they would and could

I know the custodes would glass terra except for the palace, i dont care about that

I honestly dont care this much for the custodes if they would do that. That just shows that they are mindless golden automatons

Ah, you mean killing some innocents while killing cultist? Yep, they would do that too... In fact they have a host for such terror tactics

What would happen if someone tried to combine gene seed from two different primarchs into the same marine?

#

I know that some chaos marines steal the gene seed from the loyalist marines they can get their hands on so does that mean some war bands are pretty diverse? Such as having different gene flaws such as salamander or whatever slew of stuff is wrong with blood angels? I know they have all the red and black rage but do they have any flawed organs as well?

#

I once saw someone do this thing were they’d use two random paints from two separate selections to make ork skin tones and it was amazing with how each one looked unique so I’m looking for as many possible chances to do something similar but mostly it seems IG are the only real army you can do that with humans? Are sisters of battle somewhat diverse?

Very based

#

Ledo Atheus was the dude that got killed

#

The 8th blueberry company got a really odd method of swearing in new marines, the marine kneels down, the captain then places his sword on the marines neck, the marine then has to recite some litany and if the marine makes even a slight mistake the captain fucking chops his head off.

Honest question since this is just from my understanding of drukhari and slannesh

how are drukhari actually staving off slannesh and not actually helping slannesh?

since she feeds on excess, suffering etc

eternal ledge
#

All Eldar have their souls being pulled by Slannesh. The Dark Eldar don't use Soul Stones to protect themselves so they use the suffering of others to feed Slannesh and lessen the pull on their souls

Atleast that's my understanding
