lmao, they made AoE 4 tbf, which is pretty alright (not my cup of tea but the fans seem to like it)
what is that?
thats from lexi aswell dilara lmao
All the mentions of wolf in the space wolf lexicanum entry
To be fair, they did a imo decent Job with aoe4
oh is it ctrl f?
if i go to the wiki it gets worse
i read a funny lore reason as to why wolf is used so much by the space wolves
Idk how good or bad that is
its a translation error between high gothic and the native language of fenris
Space wolves put wolf in everything
Which is terrible
Literally their culture is wolf
What does Wolf mean in fenrisian?
its basically bad writting and naming, thats the amount of times the word "wolf" is used in their wiki entry. They use wolf as a prefix for most space wolf unique units
i mean they are roided up space vikings
its less i don't like space wolves and more i don't like how a lot of the main factions are written
they have interesting concepts but then are about as shallow as they possibly can be
wolf
Chaos ships but no planet killer? :(
except the part where "there are no wolves on fenris" because space wolves turn into wolves
the galaxies strongest furries
they aren't actually wolves
iirc the wolves on fenris where once human colonists
Those are Imperium, these are the Chaos Ships
They are both native and technically mit wolves
HEY I HAPPEN TO THINK WULFEN ARE COOL AF
they are
I did not know that
🧐
ye
Also thx
If chaos had access to exterminatus that's all they would do probably
they do have access to it
oop
they have a ship literaly called the planet killer
Yee but like not the other way around
na they can, outside of unique ships like planet killed
any imperial/chaos ship can swap hands
cause its just a matter of owning the hull type
Huh weird
please remember that chaos are just humans/SM
so they just use their equipment
same as GSC
Cuz like chaos usually seems to have these.. uhh.. chaos looking(?) ships and the imperium have their own. Im pretty sure the ships chaos uses are just from hh times which is why they look different
I mean most ork shit is also just stolen imperial shit
yep, literally just older ship hulls
a giant 🅱️enis
Nooo stawp
new bad dragon dildo maybe?
DFSDFKJSDF
dilly really said "anythings a dildo if you're brave enough"

Dont let the 8km ship bone you
you joke
but you should read the name of half of those chaos ships on that chart
its hilariously evil lmao
I would love to see what Emperor's Children ship names are
ye
one of the few im fine with is like, the repulsive
cause thats an actual ship name iirc
Styx class (sounds very badass 😎)
but ye kinda hate it cause like
from the river of the dead styx in greek mythology
GET IT
(YES DILLY IM NOT THIS DENSE)
Do they at least try to make their ship look like their faction?
Mostly?
Like are Thousand Sons ships blue and egyptian and shit?
see like styx works tho as a pre heresy thing
Anyway, best ships are Ad. Mech. ships, love some bulky angular ships amirite?
because you know, styx bringing death in the form of astartes
its dumb but i dont hate it
fucking
yeah same could be worse
"slaughter " class tho
LMAO
or massacre
SUBTLE
Yee styx is the ship that esentially went "hangar" and nothing else
thats the thing woof
BRUH
THESE WERE THE SHIP NAMES BEFORE CHAOS HAPPENED
YEAH
Also yes slaughter, carnage, murder. At least you know what you are at with those names
WHAT
WHAT THE FUCK
So, chaos don't make their own equipment wolf
its all old imperial tech
but with angsty names
(ship possessed by demon)
right but you'd think they'd at least change the name
Some are chaos made, but mostly are old imperial design that either went rogue or are only used by CSM because old
but i guess they dont need to
There are very few designs that are actually made by chaos
One of the many cases where gw did something and then later tried building lore around
Death Guard have their own unique tanks, you'd think they'd have their own unique ships
They were originally just "ok we got this design for imperium, lets do something completely different for chaos"
ship designs in 40k are sacred, so rarely new ones are made
they are large enough their machine spirit can actually manifest into behaviour
I would imagine lore wise designing a new ship would be heresy
Pog
unless only the ad mech does it
you can't design a new one no, but if you find blueprints you can start construction
(Also really fucking old 40k spaceships)
its just going to take an age and a half
Belsarius took his sweet ass time making new marines, I'm sure they don't mind taking the time to make new ships
Lore™️ moment
its fine woof, he'll pull em out of his ass next month
Sometimes they make new designs, but it is just a mixmash of something other, at least for the imperium, dark mechanicum do actually do new stuff
huh?
Imagine new imperial ships but they are just smooth af without gothic towers or anything and look like halo or some shit 💀
now you're actually just talking about dildos lmao
na see if it was normal halo ships that'd kinda work for 40k
but you fucking know it'd be the fucking infinity
PoS that it is
I could see Covenant designs maybe working for the eldar?
tbh I don't like the designs of 90% of eldar tech
I don't like their armor, I'm mech on their big mechs, I hate their vehicles, some of their guns are cool
warpspiders look doofy af
U look doofy as fuck you asshole
hunchback lookin ass
I only speak the Emperor's truth
bare in mind that Eldar models are 30 years old at this point
and are just getting an update now
Hope thats halo but imagine this thing right next to a bunch of literal floating cathedrals
yeah and everyone fucking memed on the new dark reapers
which is understandable
fucking lego skulls
thats actually the infinity lmao, its the exact ship i was complaining about
BUT THE FACEPLATES
theyre so bad
the heads on the reapers are terrible
at least you can cover them up very easily
the rangers and guardians are lookin good tho
Its such an easy thing to fix too
just make them actual skulls
it gets worse because the infinity has glowy blue scifi bits on the outside to show just how betterer and futurerer it is
Idk shit about halo other than that you can murder smol and cute aliens
Skelly its fine, monke destroyed that ship
I saw one where the horizonal slit was removes so it was only the 3 vertical ones, that looked pretty good
I just wish their tech looked better
it does tbh
War walkers should be retconned, everything else looks fine to me
its just that if you dont like its doomed
I don't know how a race that can't reproduce is still going anyway
They can reproduce
the gestation period just takes a while
compared to us which is uh
I thought Slaneesh fucked that
slaanesh just means they have to be careful
god
children for eldar are sacred
LMAO
when I read about eldar I read that they were a dying race with limited people and couldnt repopulate
they can repopulate
If twins are born they basically get given exclusive benefits, including becoming titan pilots
but yeah they are ""dying out""
even though they cant
because we need a faction

they were basically copying tolkien in that regard since he was the one that made that trope
aka the elven race leaving the world
so how strong is a black stone fortress?
no
Yee its one of the "gonna die in insert number here and add a few zeros"
Yeah one warhammer writer said it best for fantasy
Years*
"theres as many elves as the plot demands"
Very
Its basically a 40k deathstar
and can crack planets instantly
Dark Eldar are cooler, although their tech is similar I really like the drugged up flesh crafted designs they have
so take a guess 👁️
I don't mind the "they are dying off" vibe when its written well, but they keep giving it to gav
Yeah lmao
3 of em can fuck shit up even better
lol the one i got in my chaos campaign in BFG2 sucked but then that was aginst ships
I also love how absolutely fucked up and sadistic and demented dark eldar are they really held nothing back with them, which I can always appreciate
Eh thats just a gw moment™️ they arent nearly that big
me or bobo
bobo
actually they can be that big, their size varies
Cope
since its old alien tech, "blackstone fortress" refers to a material type instead of a specific class
is that true for the mobile fortress monistaries aswell?
Blackstone refers to the material
Thats an eldar ranger
I just wish eldar werent so hit or miss with their designs for me personally
they are pretty slick
she is gona snipe ya. then stab ya
1 handed
Banshees are also like, meh
Yes, depends how big they are built. The one at the start of BFG 2 is one of the largest iirc (Dorns personal mobile fort)
ONLY SOME OF THEM
yup no better way to flex on the mon kie lol
The old models had them too
WHY WOULD YOU PUT BELLY BUTTONS ON YOUR ARMOR
how eldar see most human fighters

ITS THERE FOR AESTHETIC REASONS
its to show that their armor is statuesque
THE ROMANS DID IT TOO AND IT DIDNT LOOK GOOD THERE EITHER
you know what i say wehn fighting eldar ships and the imperium?
Romans are ugly, yes but that doesnt translate to eldar armour
I wasnt comparing them
"stay in one place emperor damn you!!!!!!"
the webway is kind of broken
the webway is neat
You guys use the warp? Pffft
eldar ships never stop moving in real space ether
still love the fact one of the craftworlds was trying to map out the webway through routes untravelled
and just
fell into the warp
yeah eldar ships are modelled after frigates so it makes sense
they have solar sails and everything
I'm not gonna say anything
Rip
and no shields
THE SOLAR SAILS LOOK DUMB
HOW
^ He said it ^
nipple armors great and all but have you considered armor thats supposed to imitate a starving monk?
and yeah those are great, literally fucking with enemy ship targetting systems
Remove em and it looks better immediately
you misspelled annoying
Even their fucking little land raiders have them
No
I disagree
I agree
Eldar don't have sails on their land units
like, at all
How about armour that imitates... dicc?
most imperium designs are very blocky which is kind of whatever
craftworld eldar use VTOL craft yeah, only dark eldar raier craft have sails
moving rectangle
and thats mostly because uh
they were pleasure yachts before
so they just repurposed them as pirate vehicles
I didn't know that I assumed both had those
DIE.
Chill lmao
nope they use different tech (mostly)
since they have been split for over 10k years
I thought it was a Chaos / Imperium kind of thing
nope
the imperium split and stagnated due to the tech cult
The eldar split and innovated in different ways
Everything imperium uses can be used by chaos, some stuff chaos uses cant be used by the imperium
OWNED.
No I hate the sails
oh, what's up with the lizard boys
Old Ones?
why tf are they there just chilling with the drukhari
the Sylth?
yeah
Ah
That or just mercenaries
Ah I see, I bet they do make some good entertainment 
very bloody, messy entertainment
this guy knows
:3
But yeah like
dark eldar are assholes
but they will get good alien mercs if they can find them
Dark Eldar are amazing
Incubi fit that niche well but other types of protection also helps
I just love how utterly fucked up they are
they are really hot its true
Dark Eldar is the one race you really just absolutely do not want invading your world
Yeah they basically can empty an entire world in 24 hours
the imperium virtually cant do anything half the time
unless they got a pre-setup ambush
they also dont have much trouble with pop since they just vat breed tons out like theyre squigs
and if you get captured like that's a fate way worse than death
I like the uh, the big things i forget what theyre called
Pain Engines?
YEP
Aaa
Wracks are basically frankenstein helpers its great
that's part of why I like Skaven a lot too
true
Incubus daddy 💦
No abs, 3/10
1 sec i got u
no dont
honestly prefer it when they look like they've been living on nothing but crack
suits their aesthetic better
😳
no skelly we wont make them look like you

no i look dead, theres a difference
Deldar look worse than dead
Holy shit aaaa
Killed poor skelly right there
💀
Oh I was playing Inquisitor Martyr and a Scourge had a male voice and I was like wut
Why so
Oh lmao
yeah nah
dark eldar are gender equal af
it literally says it in their codex
anyone can be anything
It's funny the most progressive race is the most fucked up
I like how one of the most exalted of the dark eldar are their postal workers
scourges are great because they are the only one anybody in the DE society trusts
the most prestigious position basically, not even archons want to fuck with them
too bad every single one of them is damned for eternity
Dark eldar pigeon furrys 🤔
hey now don't be putting ideas in people's heads
You know the deldar have the tech and flesh crafting skills to make furries
bobo creating himself a new fetish any%
Die
They made a dark eldar have human physiology once
they wanted to die so bad

Lmfao
quote on quote "worst form of torture"
Dayum owned badly
mon-keigh bad

Eradicate humanity yes pls 🙏
If the Dark Eldar have femboys I'll happily get captured by them
Based
I mean it's simple evolution
To be fair they are elves
so they are technically femboys by definition
It doesn't get any better than femboys
Omw to sculpt beards onto elves 😩
well you know
Wh..
Short and beard vs tall and no beard?
nah 1 sec
Makes America look like the most equal and progressed society compare to dwarves vs elves
mind, I have a fantasy opinion in the sense of 'elves and dwarves are very similar' in general
but you have arrogant races who are either on the brink of extinction or past their prime, stubbornly hanging on while believing they do know best.
'dwarf steel' and 'elf blade' is pretty much...
same shit
it kinda boils down to what cosmetics you prefer sometimes.
yeah but dwarf smol elf tol
tall twinks > short bears
😩
Exactly
the thing about the elves is both genders are hot af
elves also hate elves so that checks out
and the thing about the dwarves is neither gender is hot
LMAO
Exactly lmfao
that's probably where the real root of the racism presides
bruh
Dwarves coping cuz they are ugly af
Kerillian is anything but lady like
it all boils down to perception like, a dwarf going
'yes, we will bail you human morons again, you aren't fit for shit'
the people go
BASED
elf goes 'you fucked up again, fine, we will help'
OMG, ARROGANT DICK, WHAT A TWAT

Tbf eldar calling humans literally monkeys is a tad arrogant indeed
in LOTR at least the racism isnt as bad and makes sense, sometimes
Justified but still arrogant
Yeah because in LOTR the elves are legit ethereal
Aragorn got him some real nice Elf p- uh I mean
i find it funny that eldar call humans monkeys
they're wrong of course they're apes but it's stilly funny
monkeigh actually has a meaning too
i figured
its basically an old race that once harassed/attacked the younger eldar
Let it be known I never said the eldar are a bad race
their tech is just a bit silly is all
now it has developed a meaning "race that must be exterminated"
BUT this is like old lore
so most writers just assume
"its a slang for humans"
i like both
and the dwarf for being "of crap make" being "human" isnt

Dwarves are inferior humans, eldar are superior humans
now that's a good ass game
🙏
Yes!!
I'm very interested to see what and elf would be like in DRG
Hope they never add elves tho, their dwarves are ugly af atm
i hope we never find out
same
Cant be trusted with making hot ppl
because the drg community is disgusting
I've always wanted if they ever added a new class it could be an elf that's just begrudgingly added to the team and has trouble navigating the caves but is VERY adept at killing bugs
the DRG community is one of the most fictionally racist communities ive seen
fictionally and activley
LOL
and from past communities that line blurs readily
their ban list is something
also i never knew about that about the community
Tbf thats mainly cuz of the devs beating the old "dwarf elf racism" horse and the community just jumped on
I can't say im surprised
yeah basically what bobo said
like i dont mind it ingame? They're dwarves
but OOF the fanbase
I stan elves and dwarves being beloved comrades
ingame and from the devd its small things
I do like the term leaflovers
jokes about drinks and stuff
Dwarfs are perfect height for giving elves head..
the playerbase tho
STOP
NO
AA
as i said
I DONT WANT THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD
bobo new fetish any%
you literally cannot complain
says the man with the skeleton fetish
you did this to yourself
I bet you reallllllly like the undead fantasy race huh?
wet dreams about Nagash
Skelly on his way to bone tomb king mummies 😨
ew
oh yeah tomb kings that's what theyre called
its all about them vampires
understandable
isabella x vlad is still goals
Vampire the Masquerade is chef's kiss
Dracula and his wife are very wholesome
until she dies
Vampires my beloved
warhammers most wholesome paring being an undead warlord and his vampire wife
Vlad is uggo
VLAD MY LOVE
he means twwh i assume
I think Alucard is way more hot obv but
^
:(
❤️
1/10, wouldnt bone
This however 10/10
He got done so fucking dirty by those twins man 😭
Vampire Lord™️
Noo
But yeah like i think "bat" as a face works really well for vampires but like.. still wouldnt bone
the ol Nosferatu vs Toreador
I need Bloodhunt to come back already hnnnnn
I want to play as my John Wick vampire
VTM? Ah a catboy of culture 🧐
I've only recently got into it but yeah I like it
I want to play the actual rpg game but alas I know no one that want to play
God i love baldemort
Baldemort is nice and all but I feel like his voice is like a tryhard voice if that makes sense and I can't get that out of my head
I getcha, but its his own voice
That actually reminds me of a dude who went into a voice chat with a deeper voice than most 80yo smokers
And nobody believed him until we met up later that year on a con
but then I hear Jonathan Keeble and I'm like ah yes daddy Grimaldus
Who?
man i keep loading it up on instict
who'd you play in it?
Nosferatu mostly
Ah
had tons of fun with uhhh saboteur right?
just for the passive
I used the one with the bats
baiting people to run past then ambush with the melee
I liked having the passive to chase people down
wait they are already adding a new clan?
Ventrue
damn
have you not seen the concept designs?
nope
im in their disc but must have missed it
oh they are the knights right?
yeah
they look suave af
I want them and the uh, fuck
the fuck?
they the wizards?
they turn into various animals
ooh okay
torador were fun
the drag ones
especially the flash bang one
siren
once they actually made the flash blind you
true
WTF of BS is this?!?!
Storied regiment my ass, they are extremely young by the standard of the imperium FFS
Oh oh, there is a part that Skele will love for sure
Bruh the Maccabean Janissaries are so fucking cool
100% wanna make my veteran guardsmen kitbashed of them
They are an elite militia with only the driving force of pure faith?
Their planet might as well be a deathworld with thousands of people immigrating there a month?
ahhh
are we talking about bloodhunt
this gives me an excuse to post my kindred
(open in original)
See these typa articles where they make fun of their own shit perpeptuates the stereotypes
If this isn't the correct spot to post this i apologize and please tell me where to post. My friend made me a custom dice box based on my favorite 40k faction and I wanted to share this with y'all
TBH, it'd go great in Hobbies and Interests
But this works too
ok awesome thank you for letting me know
will post anything similar to that channel in the future
there doesnt seem to be any actual mods here, so i wouldnt worry about to much
and if there are, they must be extremely chill
ooh that's gorgeous
there are, they just rightfully don't care about the dumb d-don't post memes in g-general guys :( stuff. more about banning scammers & racists
time for horny on main 😎
allowed to a certain extent
Thanks guys! I geeked out and wanted to share where I know it would be appreciated
My friend is awesome
New art
Thats actually a year old 
not like I'm an art stalker or anything
But its good stuff
I thought so bc I've seen it before
I would recognize that gut-plate anywhere
custodes are my least favorite imperium faction but i do really like that armor belt buckle lol
I play them 😄
dont get me wrong, aesthetically i dig em, just really dislike their lore
I hear that a lot
I wish tyranids would get something new and cool
gutplate
It's a catboy
Same thing
Not really but alright
It’s one of the boyfriends, which I will simp for the rest of my life for
Wrong message but still

Yeah I know it’s inaccurate and fetishizes polyamory, as a polyamory person,
But I love it for being inaccurate and fetishized
Nice
also btw, the character in the pfp is ftm
This guy knows
YEAHHHH, I’m a prep simp
Goth isn't my favorite but catboy goth is just too good
But I love all of them
Yes
Some of the shit he wears is chefs kiss
I don’t watch anime so some of the references I don’t get but he has cute af moments
Also I wouldn't say their relationship is inaccurate I just think its highly romanticized
It's just for fun
Yeah!
I'm not even into poly relationships but I'm obsessed with these boys
I adore them, and the artist makes A tier porn
Very true
😳
necron femboy
I don't think that's possible
Maybe a flayed one, if he put on the thigh skin just right
It theoretically is possible
If a necron of rank went through biotransference they turned into more of themselves so some got like snake Tails or extra eyes or only have one eye
Trazyn got a permanent hood like his scribe self
So if a necron was a femboy at heart and soul they would gain certain traits theoretically
Yes
Interesting
Also this means necrons are pro trans which makes me personally happy
I didn't even think they had genders
iirc they released a female necron lord not all that long ago
We got an actual trans necron too recently
oh, word?
kinda redundant, no?
Trust me
it is
Its possible
dont try me here
i am robotman
I mean it was just explained lol
I don't see how it is redundant tbh
Back when they were the Necrontyr they had genders
Now its less important as they are all metal skeleton robots
But Phearon is masculine and phearakh is feminine
Same rank as dynast
i love the one artpiece of a Phaerakh showing her ''style'' with cable hair
Late but
Necrons have genders
female necrons exist
ah, noice
Yeah I know that now
non-binary ones as well
The Phearakh for the FW tomb world was female
Its a common joke among robots dont worry

And the Executioner of the necron high council is also female
My question is, do necrons even fuck anymore? I assumed they did when they were organic, but now they are robots with no robits
No
no new necrons can be made
But
if the soul furnaces are restored, then, maybe new ones could be made
Oldcrons can be repaired though, long as their mind protocols are saved
they're all smooth down there sadly
IT HARDENS-
seems more likely from the context that the position went from one individual to another, no? not that they became trans
TRANSfering your prefered gender, physically
Imagine an army of necron warriors with robot schlongs just dangling
Nah the author confirms it
1 sec
#freedongles
Robert Rath is a real cool dude
How? They refer to the same entity all the time
the guy himself says it
i'm just saying from the context of the passage you posted, its not exactly clear or concrete
I mean, I got it from reading it
Wait this is infinite and the Divine, right?
the passage posted is the evidence given and the evidence given was unsatisfactory, do we really have to go down the pedantic hole, or can you just take what i say at face value?
He is cool too
I read it and understood it as soon as I did
Seems like plenty of other people did too
So
Unsatisfactory if you have moles chewing on your brain
i still gotta read the funny trazyn and orikan wacky adventure book
Its my most favorite BL book
I also loved Twice dead king
Need to read the new one
Same
Its rlly funny how the cron boojs are like, 400% above everything else BL puts out
I'll do necrons eventually
I literally posted what the author said
he literally says that was what was intended lmao
but eh

the evidence was not unsatisfactory, the conversation literally went like
"Matriarch So-and-So was paranoid, it worked out though."
"I thought So-and-So was your Patriarch?"
"Not anymore."
modern day necrons seem to get into hijinx more than the other races
in terms of personality I think theyre the most skaven like, minus the comically self-sabotaging being the end result always
Sadly they can't keep themselves occupied with sex, F's in the chat
i dunno, i think it's hard to compare them in that way since they always seem to be intentionally limiting themselves so they aren't too op pls nerf
like deathmarks and the celestial orrery
Nah they gotta find things to obsess over or else they go insane
Well some
Most
Not all tho
The infinite life is dangerous to any mortal mind
Trazyn takes it to an extreme
after zooming in, i indeed see the same name twice, you are correct
Big respect
ye, s'all good
a clearer image would have been nice, then again it was my own laziness that led to the misunderstanding
I mean
Read the books! They are pretty amazing
Crowley is one of the best authors BL has
Is it on audible?
I put him up there with Wraight and Rath
IT IS
Its how I read it
pov: you are an authentic 30th millenium night lords marine with historically accurate armor configuration

The nearest bookstore is an hour away and I want to know before go out to buy it
call them
On their cell phone
Sup you dip
@fluid bone
Okay so basically beforehand when Custodes had lore, them recruiting people was kind of fuzzy
now with the fact that they are an army we get a semi-indepth explanation of their recruitment method
basically theres a giant gate on one of the sectors of the Imperial Palace where terran nobles offer their infants up
its seen as a great honor
I refuse to acknowledge it in my hc
it completely borks the entire appeal of bananabois
I mean it makes sense to me
if the custodes then survive through their recruitment they get worked on by really special geneticists and get "gene-alchemy"d
their entire creation process is never fully explained and left in the shade
but thats how they make new bananaboys
Well like, what exactly seperates custodes from just being bigger marines if not the emperors og companions vibes
that's their appeal, that's their whole gimmick
thats... it kinda ruins the magic of the 10 thousands....
Lmao yeah
yee, it's weird fluff
but they gotta somehow explain how they dont run out of numbers i guess
Do they get some kind of genetic memory perhaps ?
just to justify like. custodes actually doing stuff in fluff now. so gotta be able to not just die out
Genetic memory?
We should also remember that the first custodes were also sons of terran nobles that were defeated by big E
well they have to replenish their numbers some how
and there are Custodes that retire
they get old too
still dumb
I literally cant see how
That wouldn't be the weirdest stuff in the setup. But basically transfering some memories of past custodes unto the new one
weren't custodes in the beginning basically age like immortal?
Oh no that isnt a thing
Ratty, if they cannot get recruits how managed big E to get enough to reach 10k numbers?
Also yeah they are functionally immortal
you need that when you stand guard for so long
if the custodes were only 10,000 and never got any new people the only ones that would be alive are the 300 that protect the emperor
you mean the emperors companions?
cus they were handcrafted by big e?? they're meant to be a relic of a future that's now unattainable
Yeeee the 300 are the companions
Too bad because that would've made a bit of sense to keep them as "trusted emperors companions" and not "uber elites, but in gold"
Yeah i agree but alas
they're completely flavourless as just terra spess mehreens
I don't really agree personally
execute the catboy
Ah, so it is not "they cannot get recruits!" and more "big E was the one that was making them, and now that he is stuck to his chair he cannot make more"
yee that's the interpretation I prefer
like mini primarch vibes
It doesn't meld well with having them actually going about in the galaxy doing stuff so i understand the change in direction, tbc
I just don't rly like it
Well, tbf big E never was the only person that had an hand into their creation tbf... He always had a corp of geneticists that helped him
sooo... they basically changed the original idea of custodes to the new ones. That only Emps could make them from his own genes to a big secret thing no onke knows anything about but can be made again... wtf
But i agree on the fact that pretty much everything has devolved in 10K years but not their creation process
Which brings me to another question. Questions actually.
1 - Why wouldn't loyalist legion want to add this to their geneseeds to further enhance their troops.
2 - Are the banana boys gonna get the "primaris" treatment ?
No, only first custodes were being made by big E, once he got enough, both of them and of geneticists he left their creation to others
Custodes don't have geneseed nor more organs afaik
They are just humans that have been improved ten thousadfold
Still, I would assume space marines legions would still want that ?
Not really, since it would take more time to replenish their losses
And it doesn't give them the sense of brotherhood they like so much
aren't custodes the most trusted emp advisors ? they're a bit more than juste "terran spess mehreens"
Custodes are hand crafted
SM are made to be tools, biological weapons if you prefer, custodes are made to be the best an human can be in theory
^
That is because they are not space marine at all, but people like to call them that way, but it is simply wrong
custodes be like : https://youtu.be/OXRi28W-ENY?t=46
SM are just so prevalent in lore than everyone use them as comparison
Custodes are more close to guards than to SM tbf
🤣
GOTTEM
Ok, that was nice
custodes are basically terran palace janitors, change my mind
Well, they are the ones that tend to clean up the palace when bad stuff happen tbf, like with the 4AE GSC cult
This janitor just happens to be geneboosted
🙏
the janitors also are adept killing machines
Reminds me of a Nanowar song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4EZtdp63YE
when your school's janitor just absolutely fucks up the school shooters
Well, they used them to clean up all the things that magnus didn't did wrong so yup, that also checks out
Respect your cleaning and maintenance staff
Spess Mahreens are just shortcuts to that human ideal
The Emperor didn't want space marines to be a sort of superior breed of humanity
Which is why they cannot produce space marines sexually
Although if they have a male offspring, there is a great chance that offspring would be compatible with the implants
There is a way
