will admit i think they got the nurgle deal mostly because Russ already fits the khorne archetype, hence why the writers probably tried to choose another legion to replace that slot

the wormlings just sounded depressing af

the whole thing with initiates putting their fingers in the hole

Battlefleet Gothic 3

basically they were gonna introduce a new race through the game

but uh

GW said the studio had to finance the game themselves

so they just kinda gave up and never did it

Also in game the boost to strength makes my Aberents ridiculous

atomic pelican Dec 8, 2021, 1:18 AM

#

Oh yes

#

It's so much fun

#

Honestly my favorite thing I've discovered lately is the Hulk Magus

#

Their staff gives them a +3 strength

#

I ran a magus and a acolyte iconward with the Icon of the Cult Ascendant

#

And got him to like, 7 strength then casted Might From Beyond on himself for 8

#

He beat a venom to death

final spruce Dec 8, 2021, 1:21 AM

#

He's been lifting and eating his eggs

atomic pelican Dec 8, 2021, 1:21 AM

#

Alternatively, if you ran a twisted helix magus with the same setup, you can get the free +1 S, then with Cult Magus cast both Mutagenic Deviation on target then Might on himself

#

Then get a acolyte iconward near him for a s9 magus who gets a +1 to wound

#

Is it effective? probably not, no

#

is it really fucking funny?

#

Yes

#

My magus solo'd a entire group of incubi in that game after beating their venom to death

#

Alternatively, instead of helix, you could run Rusted Claw beatdown magus and give him the Metallophagic staff

So what happens to an inquisitor that gets excommunicated?

#

Like do they end up on the run or what

proper helm Dec 9, 2021, 3:59 AM

#

Generally other inquisitors hunt them down, which is made difficult by the fact that inquisitors have a lot of pull, even when they aren't legally inquisitors anymore

#

also that information's hard to get everywhere it needs to be

marsh grail Dec 9, 2021, 4:00 AM

#

They are instructed to place their gun on the ground and then lie on their stomach with their arms at their sides to assume the heretic retrieval position until a heretic escort bot picks them up.

Yep. Also, the requirements for getting excommunicated as an Inquisitor are ridiculously high. An infamous example is an extremist puritan literally doing exterminatus on a world to prevent a rival inquisitor from acquiring a xenos anti-chaos artefact there, which got every ideological leaning of the order to blacklist him

Ah, that chapter, no, they might have been a group of space wolves that got a world for building a new chapter, it is one of the modus operandi for making a new chapter, you take some marines, you give them a world, they multiply taking recruits from such world and boom, new chapter

With those people i meant the recruits

ah, I'm not really well-versed in that part of the lore, sorry

signal hill Dec 12, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

okay I probably lack a little knowledge about how dreadnaughts are built too 😛

prisma lark Dec 12, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

like, why are Redemptor called "Primaris dreadnaughts"? The sarcophagus appears to be the same, just up-armoured?

barren tapir Dec 12, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

In general dreadnought tend to go crazy in due time, something about their minds simply not grasping their new bodies or something...

prisma lark Dec 12, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

so couldn't you intern any firstborn marine in one?

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:01 PM

#

prisma lark I think only the sarcophagus itself is permanent?

"Although a Dreadnought can be damaged and disabled, it can survive unless the actual armoured tomb containing the occupant's form is destroyed." (Imperial Armour 2, page 131)

#

So you're spot on there

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:02 PM

#

prisma lark so couldn't you intern any firstborn marine in one?

I'd say fluffwise there's no reason you can't

barren tapir Dec 12, 2021, 10:03 PM

#

Oh, one thing about dreadnought i just remembered, among SM it is seen as an honour to be entombed in a dreadnought, among custodes is ill seen lol

signal hill Dec 12, 2021, 10:03 PM

#

I think the 'primaris dreadnaught' are called that because

they are basically new and were introduced with the primaris
have several new quirks
are (because of their introduction) mostly used by primaris (so far)

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

We've seen in fluff firstborn wear primaris armour with little issue, so I feel distinction of primaris is mainly for tabletop.

#

A dreadnought of any stripe is piloted using a Mind Impulse Unit

#

nothing primaris exclusive bout that

plush mason Dec 12, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

iirc they are also hella powerfull. so powerfull in fact they tend to burn out their pilots quickly

signal hill Dec 12, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

^that was the mentioned quirk

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:05 PM

#

Yeah, their reactors are very powerful

signal hill Dec 12, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

they put enormous strain on their pilots and just burn them up
which is of course a double edged sword

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

But yeah, if a SM of any stripe can use a Mind Impulse Unit, he theoretically can be fit in any dread.

plush mason Dec 12, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

i mean there is no reason a first born couldnt be put in one of the new classes

storm jungle Dec 12, 2021, 10:07 PM

#

Its basically just grimdank

#

you can as easily write in any lore line to explain that theres no thing stopping it but hey

#

plush mason Dec 12, 2021, 10:07 PM

#

tho its likely they would die even quicker once plugged in

errant mauve Dec 12, 2021, 10:08 PM

#

plush mason i mean there is no reason a first born couldnt be put in one of the new classes

that is literally what I am saying

#

Pepega

plush mason Dec 12, 2021, 10:08 PM

#

tbh its likely just due to the fact the primaris and the new dreads are so new to the setting that we havent seen stuff like this happen yet

#

there also likely isnt many of these new dreads to go around rn

barren tapir Dec 12, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

This is it, i'm putting a skitarii in a dreadnought

#

Ah, not even a skitarii, a guard

signal hill Dec 12, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

well, there are at least not many limbs to cut off, just a few screws to remove

#

(with the skitarii I mean of course)

marsh grail Dec 12, 2021, 11:29 PM

#

Do you think the emperor will ever recover and leave the golden throne? If so do you think He and at least a few more primarchs will become playable models again?

storm jungle Dec 12, 2021, 11:30 PM

#

100%

#

but id say deffo in a few years

#

Big E will only get off the throne when 40k is most likely gonna be nuked tho

#

so thats awhile off

#

Primarch minis on the other hand?

tender igloo Dec 12, 2021, 11:31 PM

we will probably see more primarchs come back at least

Do people think 30k is on its last legs?

Not to open a can of worms but wondering

no

I imagine lockdowns did the hobby gud

atomic pelican Dec 12, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

Its still getting updated

#

Not many ppl play it but its a mega whale game so

tender igloo Dec 12, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

i think its just in that weird period where it's going to get a big overhaul

#

but they have to devote all their resource into that

#

so they can't do big updates to the current version

#

kind of like kill team was

dim totem Dec 12, 2021, 11:41 PM

#

What are the odds of us getting another faction ever?

#

I never see ppl briging that up

tender igloo Dec 12, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

like are we talking new faction as in world eaters and emperor's children, or new as in completely new?

atomic pelican Dec 12, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

Pretty likely if ur timeframe is infinitum

#

40k isnt going anywhere anytime soon

#

And we get new armies p often

#

It just depends on ur definition of new I suppose

scenic bolt Dec 12, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

Dark Mechanicus has been the rumor for years in 30k, but again, years

atomic pelican Dec 12, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

Very possible. Those kinds of plans can take years to manifest anyways

tender igloo Dec 13, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

yeah, GW plans a lot of things at least a couple of years in advance

slow prawn Dec 13, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

Personally I think 30k is going in a good direction

#

They’re releasing little miniature books of certain battles, with a new set of models to go with it, and rules to play that battle

tender igloo Dec 13, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

don't forget the leaked box set

slow prawn Dec 13, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

Oh yes, the eventual plastic stuff

errant yacht Dec 13, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

Is it bad that i want the Emperor's Shadows to actually have some lore? Or heck, be featured in future 40K media?

#

Somehow, i imagine them shouting their attack names due to being a Space Marine chapter with Japanese influences

lofty storm Dec 13, 2021, 2:30 AM

What's supposed to be in it?

a plastic spartan assault tank, a new plastic contemptor dreadnought, a bunch of mk 6 marines and a couple of plastic praetors i think

what the fuck is word bearer's named characters lore like

#

iron warriors are stubborn fuckers

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 3:57 AM

umm they where the first to fall to chaos

#

have worshiped it on their home world where lorgar was found

#

also erebus isnt actully erebus

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 3:58 AM

#

so lorgar, went from chaos to loyalist to chaos

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 3:58 AM

#

when he was growing up erebus was the golden boy of his community. so the fucker that is now erebus killed him and took his name

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 3:59 AM

#

how the fuck was taht supposed to not fail

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 3:59 AM

#

the only reason the imperial heralds didnt wipe that world clean of life is due to lorgar being there

#

the imperial heralds are the original name of the word bearers

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 4:01 AM

#

rose thorn what the fuck is word bearer's named characters lore like

Charismatic and Manipulative demagogues if they're focused on Daemons, or Zealous and borderline-psychotic if we're looking at late heresy

if you're looking for adjectives to describe them

rose thorn makes scenes

If you want to see how Erebus can manipulate people without honeyed words, read the Kharn vs Erebus fight, but focus on what Erebus was doing in the pits before Kharn showed up.

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 4:03 AM

#

in the legion

#

so it makes making custon named characters easier

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 4:03 AM

#

A lot of people focus on Kharn beating up Erebus, but the entire time Erebus was pushing Kharn's buttons until he got him to do what he wanted (fully submit himself to Khorne)

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 4:04 AM

#

erebus should have died there

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 4:05 AM

#

No, he shouldn't have. While it may be satisfying for some, ADB's goal there was to show how manipulative and slimy Erebus can be, as well as Kharn being a badass.

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 4:05 AM

a demon and a daemon are 2 very different things

meager gale Dec 13, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

I know it’s gross and fucked up but if I HAD to worship a chaos god I would worship Nurgle. He’s the only one that truly loves his worshippers. And even though you’d become a pestilent mass of diseased flesh, at least you’d do it painlessly and in great, jovial spirits.

Also apparently the Death Guard call nurglings ‘little lords’ cause they look like their papa and if that isn’t the cutest thing ever

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

The hard part is not vomiting your guts out first or going insane from disease

#

Or living from said disease

#

Also you need to literally accept the fact you will end up killing countless numbers of men women and children in one of the slowest and painful ways possible

#

But after that you are in da squad

meager gale Dec 13, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

Oh for sure. Though I’d rather have that then become a Tzeentchian chaos spawn or be subject to Hellraiser-level and worse Slaaneshi stuff.

The ruinous powers are all pretty fucked honestly haha which is why I would never worship a Chaos god willingly it’s just I had to I’d be going for Papa Nurgle.

#

Also unrelated but every time I see your avi it makes me giggle lol

#

This is a very loaded question, and definitely hard to answer because it’s all relative in a grim dark universe. We all (should) know the Imperium aren’t the good guys but what would you say the most ‘evil’ major loyalist Space Marine chapter is? Not based purely on actions but also motivations.

Deathwatch? Black Templars?

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 5:51 AM

#

marines malevolent hands down

#

theyre about as close to a chaos space marine chapter that still??? follows the imperium

atomic pelican Dec 13, 2021, 5:52 AM

#

If only major chapters, I suppose Deathwatch

#

Its hard to say really

#

Problem is that most chapters do evil, it just depends on where your sympathies most lie

meager gale Dec 13, 2021, 5:55 AM

#

Yeah I wouldn’t classify Malevolant as major but they def fit the bill for sure.

And yeah they’re all varying levels of fuckedness lol

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 5:56 AM

#

While Marines Malevolent sort of have it in their name

#

If you're classifying "evil" as "malevolent"

#

I'd honestly wager the cursed founding minotaurs

meager gale Dec 13, 2021, 5:57 AM

#

Evil is nebulous in the grim dark context but I feel like a chapter explicitly created to do genocide like the Deathwatch kinda fit what I was asking

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 5:58 AM

#

by cursed founding minos I mean these guys

atomic pelican Dec 13, 2021, 5:58 AM

#

I vote Deathwatch just for their role in nearly snuffing the Ynnari plan, which is perhaps the only plan capable of actually killing a chaos god

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 5:58 AM

#

not these fellas

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 5:58 AM

#

yea

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 5:58 AM

#

I say the cursed founding Minotaurs because in their fluff they genuinely... take joy at the suffering of others. Be it friend or foe.

#

The Marines Malevolent might be dicks who obey orders to the letter, but they're just there to get the job done.

#

No matter the cost.

#

The Cursed Founding Minotaurs have been noted to actively pursue maximum casualties for the sake of it.

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 5:59 AM

#

well I'd say MM to an extent cause theyve pissed off entire segments of the imperium to the point of being persona non grata

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 5:59 AM

The Imperium itself is evil I’m mainly just asking about the baddiest of the baddies in terms of loyalist Space Marine chapters

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:01 AM

#

The cursed minos will actively ignore command-trees and battle-plans completely to simply maximize carnage.

#

There's also the fact that MM are still around and the cursed minos magically disappeared in m41, only for the bronzed minos to magically reappear 👀

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:02 AM

#

I guess that also begs the question if extent counts or not

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:03 AM

#

yeah

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:03 AM

#

I mean we're all past technicality since none of the above are major (Im assuming major being as popular enough in lore to get their own codex)

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:03 AM

#

But the MM are definitely up there for just

#

bastards

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:04 AM

#

so it's just more thoughts thereof

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:04 AM

#

the new minotaurs are too now that I think about it

#

keka

#

#

Yeah it was for codex stuff but the 2 obscure answers are quite interesting tbh

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

I mean I'm just gonna say ultramarines because I'm pretty sure they've edited the hard working guardsman and mortal heroes out of their historical novels to make themselves look better.

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

errant mauve The cursed minos will actively ignore command-trees and battle-plans completely ...

Just say lamenter casualties.

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

"and the 30 ultrmaines kill the 10'000 orks in a knife fight, without any backup or artilery support at all."

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

marsh grail Just say lamenter casualties.

you're thinking of bronzed minos

#

these are ketchup and mustard minos

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

Oh

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

no lamenters cucking yet

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

what about something like grey knights

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

Oooh

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

the org itself isnt evil

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

that's a good one

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

but the measures around it are

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

but do we consider the GK responsible for the actions of ordo malleus?

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

like some bit of lore places that you need 1 billion psykers to make 1 grey knight

#

and you need a billion people to produce 1 psyker

meager gale Dec 13, 2021, 6:06 AM

#

Motivations are important also

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

obv the math doesnt add up when you think on it literally

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

If we're going by motivation

#

hm

#

good question

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

also the fact they/the inq will straight up murder anyone who hears sees or knows of the grey knights

#

for no good reason

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

Irl undercover cops have a higher chance to become dirty because of what they are exposed to and must tolerate. The same could be said about grey knights and the ordo malleus. They are constantly in contact with daemons and the warp.

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:07 AM

#

other than super secrets

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:08 AM

#

grey knights have constant mind wipes for that very reason

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:08 AM

#

Add on the fact no ones “good” in 40k and things get ugly.

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:08 AM

#

prety sure grey knight brain damage is common

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:08 AM

#

so I was more thinking on the collateral bodycount that piles up just by the chapter existing

#

from the silencing and the process of trialing new members

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:09 AM

#

black templars probley have high collateral

#

and thats before the purges of people that look "off"

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:10 AM

#

I'd say by motivation... the Carcharodons very much a malevolently motivated chapter.

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:10 AM

#

Is it even collateral damage if it doesn’t exceed the daily sacrifice to keep the emperor alive?

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:10 AM

#

well the grey knights help fuel that to a degree

#

if you fail but live you pretty much golden throned

#

cause of the SECRETS

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:11 AM

#

There are far worse punishments and fates.

#

At least you still serve a purpose.

#

Someone has to go in that blender.

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:11 AM

#

The Minotaurs brutalize and slaughter because they are the attack dogs of the high lords
The Marines Malevolent cause civilian casualties because they only care about the order, not the means
The Carcharodons torture, conquer, enslave, and kill in the outer realms because they can

#

So yeah, if we're counting motivations, I'd put the Carcharodons up there

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:12 AM

#

motivation wise I'd say the grey knights and deathwatch arent exactly up there

#

unless you're a demon, or xeno

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:12 AM

#

meager gale Motivations are important also

grats on getting the chat alight with conversation

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:13 AM

#

Generally speaking the more you operate with the centralized imperium the less directly malevolent your motivations are

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:13 AM

#

whereas the others cause more harm to imperium as well

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:13 AM

#

Chapters that are less under supervision probably are much more malevolent in their motivation

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

which chapter got ork snipered by the inquisition

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

Celestial Lions

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

oh right right

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

What was that space marine chapter that accidentally was worshipping a chaos god?

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

also Silver Skulls to a lesser extent

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

rose thorn What was that space marine chapter that accidentally was worshipping a chaos god...

you're gonna need to specify lul

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:15 AM

#

Then declaimed war on chaos after they were kicked out of thr imperium after an inquisitor saw their cannibalism ritual and the accidentally killed said inquisitor

#

Declared war*

#

So now the imperium is hinting them down while they are hunting down chaos

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

flesh eaters?

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

They aren’t considered loyalist

Also I think flesh eaters is too on the nose

#

Yeah nope

#

Not them

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:19 AM

#

i've sadly put very little research into space marines

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:19 AM

#

Are you sure that’s sad?

dusk blade Dec 13, 2021, 6:20 AM

yeah nah it aint, i mostly focused on guardsmen regiments

tau aesthetic is iconic

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:21 AM

#

rose thorn They aren’t considered loyalist Also I think flesh eaters is too on the nose

If you're talking about Flesh Eaters, they're still very much considered loyal

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

Yeah not the flesh eaters

marsh grail Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

Question are tau or eldar closer to Starcraft Protoss? Or perhaps another faction?

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

I’m Pretty sure they are yellow? They have that wierd color split thing

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

gut feeling is tau

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

The other chapter I can think of that are cannibals are excoriators

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

but prolly a mix

errant mauve Dec 13, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

but they're loyal too

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:25 AM

#

Damn I really like the blood eagles, their design is actually really cool

#

They are the only blood angels anything I actually like

#

Damn I hate blood angels

scenic bolt Dec 13, 2021, 6:27 AM

#

lamenters aren't too bad

#

easily one of the more unique chapter insignia

rose thorn Dec 13, 2021, 6:29 AM

#

Oh yeah

#

Everyone likes lamenters

#

I legit forgot they were blood angels because how unique and cool they are

#

And depressing

#

OH I WAS THINKING ABOUT YHR SONS OF MALICE I THINK

#

God I really really like the hyper religious space marine chapters aesthetics tbh

Like melting holy candles on their armor, literal books Worth of holy parchment stamped on their bodies

Damn I want flame falcon army

"Always remember that the "loyalist" tech priests are only about as loyal as the distance and relative firepower of the nearest inquisitor and their give a damn levels are always below that.'

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 1:37 PM

have you read anything including techpriests, skitarii, mechanicus and the rest of the imperium?

They can be pretty petty that is true

#

Did you heard of mezoa?

#

I guess they aren't really loyal too then

storm jungle Dec 13, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

A techpriest is as loyal as the plot demands them to be

#

basically all the Imperium

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

Like with SM smh

#

They were super loyal, until they weren't lol

#

And this all because plot demanded

#

Same with primaris

storm jungle Dec 13, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

yeah or like the Flesh Tearers

#

without plot-carapace those guys would have fallen to khorne long ago lmao

#

"controlling muh rage" my ass

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

I remember reading of a flesh tearer that fell to chaos and was present in an arena... Something with honshu or whatever his name was

#

Also blood angels fall in that category too

#

Yeah, SM that can go berserkers that a khorne berz would be scared of them too but yeah, they don't get corrupted no no

So it's w/e

plush mason Dec 13, 2021, 4:11 PM

thought so

and imo the nids lore is better. as it makes them into an intergalactic predetor that has cought sight of prey

Last i read up on it, 4th sphere was getting 're-educated' back on tau homeworld

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 4:17 PM

I can share the excerpt of the tau falling to the influence of khorne, at least until 7 ethereals were mustered if you want

atomic pelican Dec 13, 2021, 4:17 PM

#

That was before Phil's recent statement

#

Which will likely be the trend for the future

They certainly have before

It is still canon though, heretic astartes 8 ed codex iirc

in all honesty I'm just interested to see what they'll do with 4th sphere and 5th sphere stuff

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

4th sphere is definitely an interesting topic, that i too would like to be developed

hollow sonnet Dec 13, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

and any more lore on farsight is always welcome

#

Oh also the return of Titus

#

was very awesome

barren tapir Dec 13, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

Yes, the excerpt with tau falling under the influence of khorne is from the 8 ed chaos astartes codex, which, afaik is the most recent one for them

hollow sonnet Dec 13, 2021, 4:24 PM

Imagine a tau ripping and tearing out of their battle suit in order to engage in honorable melee combat cuz of khorne corruption
