Its more or so a plot hole you arent meant to ask lmao

broken bridge
#

did big e know aboutt them?

#

what was his plan to deal with them?

storm jungle
#

The only "necron" thing the Emperor dealt with was the Void Dragon

#

the lore never once has him acknowledging the necrons at all

#

which is pretty surprising

#

but then again all his in-character apperances are in HH so his screentime is usually reserved for imperial drama and nothing beyond it

alpine ingot
#

I feel like the Necrons were always a "problem to deal with tomorrow" kind of enemy for Big E

storm jungle
#

Yeah the Emperor had a lot of plans and was also bumrushing the great crusade

#

so we dont really get the big picture

plush mason
#

The Bloodtide is easily the most controversial 40k story of all time. its got everything! characters acting dumb, tons of blood and grim dark imagery, and a conclusion that has left many readers utterly confused. it is easily the most messed up encounter the sisters of battle and the grey knights have ever been involved in. The community seems t...

*too dumb for 40k

plush mason
#

so from what im getting people have taken a single story about a single one time act of desperation and made it just a everyday thing for the grey knights lol

proper helm
#

It was an everyday thing for Sisters lore

plush mason
#

then thats on the sisters writers more than anything

proper helm
#

getting torn up worse than the Guard regularly for debatably fetishistic reasons

plush mason
#

oh that isnt what im talking about

#

im talking about the one time the grey knights killed pure sisters to ward their armor against the bloodtide

#

"everything is canon but not everything is true"

atomic pelican
#

Fellas whatever you do

#

Do NOT let the male BL author write women

#

Worst mistake of my life

obsidian wing
#

so does the playable characters' Inquisition branch the Ordo Malleus or Hereticus? hoping for the former

cerulean wagon
#

Not confirmed atm

storm jungle
#

the bloodtide thing was so fucking dumb that it got retconned instantly next edition

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Retconned

plush mason
#

what story replaced it

storm jungle
#

Nothing

#

they just rewrote it since it was dumb

plush mason
#

rewrote it how?

storm jungle
#

with the GK not killing the sisters lmao

plush mason
#

source?

#

i need to see the actual bloodtide story that has been rewritten

#

cuz bloodtide was a 1 time thing that happend in the 5th edition setting

storm jungle
#

Later, in 876.M41, the Bloodtide would return under the command of the Bloodthirster Ka'jagga'nath on the world of Van Horne. This time, it was only halted by the efforts of the Grey Knights, who slaughtered the remaining uncorrupted Sisters of Battle of the Order of the Ebon Chalice and used their innocent blood to form a talisman of purity, ending the rampage of the Bloodtide and Ka'jagga'nath

plush mason
#

yup

#

thats the story

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

now i gotta find the retcon lmao

#

time to bust open the PDF

plush mason
#

the fact that the only "source" wes could find on a retcon was one random reddit post from someone that didnt even work for GW doesnt give me much hope for your efforts

storm jungle
#

Its literally in the 5th grey knight codex

plush mason
#

yes in the same formate as the one you just posted. which is the one you claim was retconned lol

storm jungle
#

ugh

#

give me a sec

plush mason
#

k

#

tbh the only problem i see with this story is the wording. i can see sisters in that situation being willing to die so the grey knights can succeed and kill the demon

#

ofc "slaughter" doesnt mean the sisters didnt die willingly

#

most would see it as an act of martyrdom if not all

#

hell next to dropping churches from orbit and the grey knights literally being former daemonhosts this isnt even the stupidest thing in ether of the faction's lore lol

storm jungle
#

God i cant be arsed to find a 7th edition pdf

#

here

storm jungle
#

they are one of the most incorruptible factions in the Imperium lmao

#

this is like murdering someone immune to some virus and painting yourself in their blood because... reasons

shadow plover
storm jungle
#

Theres more but i cant find a good 7th edition PDF

#

but the part where it says they slaughter the sisters was removed

shadow plover
#

but in the original 5th edition codex?

storm jungle
#

Yeee the 5th one is the grimderp one

#

in the soft retcon its the sisters being dead when they are already there

shadow plover
#

Right, I just find it funny that a single paragraph has been made so infamous. Granted it sure is stupid still lul

storm jungle
#

Yeah im surprised too believe me LUL

#

but its one occassion worthy of rage i think

#

i already think the grey knights are dumb af so i dont mind it

shadow plover
#

True

#

I might be in the minority here but I rarely even read any lore tidbits in the codexes and only lore I consume are in the novels mostly

plush mason
plush mason
storm jungle
#

Sorry but when it gets such a massive reaction to the point that its rewritten it is stupid lol

shadow plover
#

mostly because most of the tidbits in codexes are quite inconsequential in the grand scheme of things

storm jungle
#

That too but sometimes its far too dumb to ignore

#

it doesnt help that during this period the Sororitas were shat on a lot as a faction

#

so stuff like this just twists that knife

shadow plover
#

it's like "brother Maximus ate a granola bar for breakfast in the dawn of 945.M41" and I'm supposed to care

storm jungle
#

Consider yourself more mature in that case lul

plush mason
#

crazy cult bitches that crave martyrdom will never be easy to get right

storm jungle
#

Fuck off with that

#

lmao

#

You literally make Sisters into caricatures from memes when they got much more character

#

theres a reason the word "bolter bitch" fell out of use

shadow plover
#

And I'm not dismissing the negative reaction to this particular case, the experience what I've had with the codex lore paragraphs have just been quite lacklustre

plush mason
#

i mean afaik the SOB are more or less just female black templars

storm jungle
#

No

#

lol

#

Thats like reading the most basic surface stuff from assumptions

storm jungle
#

i usually dont care either unless the particular paragraph is extra derp

plush mason
#

i just dont find it very derp tho. there are other things way way more derp

shadow plover
#

Right, I'm just afraid I come across too harshly with my input on these matters

storm jungle
#

Nah you dont

storm jungle
#

Grey Knights are already not liked by a lot of people for their dumb no witness policies among many other things

#

when it got this much of a massive reaction it was pretty justified

plush mason
#

and i want to clarify that i agree 100% that the story is stupid. just not as stupid as most people say it is

shadow plover
#

lol so it wasn't just a silly joke

storm jungle
#

IT WASNT

#

HE ACTUALLY SAYS FUCK

HE SAYS THE F WORD

This brings tears to mine eyes

40k lorelets: "most imperial planets are very comfy to live on"

Imperial planets:

alpine ingot
#

I mean, not every world in the Imperium is a Hive World, a Forge World, a Cemetery World, a Death World, etc. there are normal worlds out there in 40k. they're just not important to the setting

vapid tiger
#

There's plenty of them in an empire of a million worlds but it doesn't make them a majority even according to gw

#

And they're not immune to the themes of degradation and whatnot that affect the rest of the Imperium

eternal ledge
#

I think Pavonis from the Nightbringer was a pretty nice planet. It was industrial but still had plenty of healthy wildlife

sterile abyss
brittle nebula
#

This an unfinished fan made

#

I’d rate it right next to Astartes

sterile abyss
#

Oh sweet! Thank you! I subscribed to Warhammer TV but have been looking for some food animations, fan made or official. Astartes was fantastic

brittle nebula
#

Sadly this is the only partly finished vid it’s only 20 minutes

sterile abyss
#

It's something at least. But would love for GW to invest more in animations.

#

They have the world, lore, and I would hope the resources for it.

brittle nebula
#

From my understanding for this case the creator was bullied by the community because he named something wrong or something.

#

It’s quite sad

sterile abyss
#

Oh that's really sad. Eliteists and perfectionists kill hobbies.

brittle nebula
#

Especially when it’s such a promising creator the sounds, the animations look so refined.

#

My favorite part is the Relic Teminators they sound powerful

worn fern
#

I think it was mostly due to burn out and how it was onyl him working on it

#

in that, when covid came around, his work needed him more and he couldnt work on it anymore

#

and there was too much to do for it

#

one of the messages at the begining also rubbed a lot of the newer fans up the wrong way

brittle nebula
#

That’s the bulling part. It was something to do about him calling it 30k or something

vapid tiger
#

Also the whole "DEDICATED TO THE TRUE FANS" thing

brittle nebula
#

Truth be told it was one guy.

#

Give him credit though he did good considering

vapid tiger
#

Astartes was one guy.

But I cut it a little slack

eternal ledge
slow prawn
#

And that absolutely hate all the new stuff

eternal ledge
#

Yeeeep

slow prawn
#

Plus, for me it was like, the animation was literally just some Word Bearers chilling in a ship after the actual battle

vapid tiger
#

Yeah

eternal ledge
#

The kind who are probably subscribed to Gamza's patrion

brittle nebula
#

Also it is the only time any of us have seen Artifact Terminators in an animation

#

He did those guys good

slow prawn
#

Oh yeah, that was a nice surprise

brittle nebula
#

You never see them fight but the sound of them

vapid tiger
#

I mean I really like 30k but people like the creator like to gatekeep it a bit

And the main reason I like 30k is due to the game itself, which is more built around narrative play than 40k

slow prawn
#

Indeed, it’s more like playing a historical game or setting, set in a science fiction universe

#

The black books read and feel like real historical texts

sterile abyss
sterile abyss
slow prawn
#

Yep! Black Books are what contain the lore and specific rules for certain factions and events

vapid tiger
#

They're just uh

#

All out date rules-wise

#

Even the most recent ones will be out of date in june

#

But the beauty of the black books is that they're setting focused

#

So that's kind of not a big deal

slow prawn
#

Yep, a lot of the lore and art at least is still relevant

#

My favorite part are these

#

Shows how to paint a model, and blurbs of lore to go along with it

sterile abyss
#

Oh sweet! Yeah not sure I'm going to start playing anytime soon but I'm all for it for the lore

plush mason
slow prawn
#

Fellowships were the XV’s equivalent of Chapters

plush mason

That’s…kinda the point

#

They’re supposed to be huge nerds

lol

What if we took 40k and made it worse(removed everything but marines)

vapid tiger
#

i like the 30k xenos fan dexes

#

Those are really good

#

horus heresy is a fun setting. just because you don't like it doesn't make it inherently worse

vapid tiger
#

silence krieg pfp

tender igloo
#

wow how original

plush mason
#

do custodius have terminator armor? and if so who gets to wear it

vapid tiger
#

ya

#

Multiple kinds in fact

plush mason
#

is it like the SM terminators and only the most veteran and elite get to wear them?

vapid tiger
#

They're moreso based on personality

#

The most violent and bellicose of custodes are chosen to become terminators since they're viewed as hunters by the custodes and unlike marines aren't lacking in resources

#

This still makes them elite by custode standards

plush mason
#

i see

storm jungle
#

Also can survive the explosion from macro-cannons Imperial starships use lol

plush mason
#

i mean ofc they are super custodius so they have to

rose thorn
#

HOLY SHIT

szeras is so fucking cool, what dynasty is he in anyhow?

#

A necron who wants to become god? Fuck yeah I can get behind that character motive

tender igloo
#

freelance i believe actually. basically any dynasty that will help him achieve his goal

rose thorn
#

ooOooo

#

I might make an army where he’s the warlord and just say ‘yeha these are his experiments, mercenaries, and worshippers who were hired or wanna help him with his goal.’

#

I realize, I really like armies where the HQs are like, the main fighters. Like my emperors children’s Chaos Lord in Terminator warlord I’ve buffed to hell just to reap and tear.

It concerns me that the thought of the fact that sorcerers of Nurgle have weaponized "smell my finger" has not left me

What happens when a world or sector is physically unable to deliver its tithe due to war or, nowadays, being cut off from the rest of the galaxy due to the great rift

#

do they just hold up the tithe in warehouses for years?

brittle nebula
#

Hmm… an interesting question

brittle nebula
#

I would say they would store the tithe but if the governor is stupid it would be use to something useless or to line his pockets

plush mason
#

i guess it would depend on what said tithe is for the given world

signal hill
#

And probably also in why they can't deliver
A world caught up in war which tithe is manpower is probably somewhat safe

barren tapir
# proper helm What happens when a world or sector is physically unable to deliver its tithe du...

If no one come to gather it the worlds must keep it, until someone come to take it... How they keep it is not imperium business, the thing is that when the imperium will return it will ask every tithe that wasn't paid... And in some cases it can mean the death of the world, since they could conscript the entire population... But that is counting on the imperium having all its paperwork in order

#

On some occasions the imperium might give the world the duty to ship the tithe, but this would be extremely rare since it would require the world to have fleet for transport which is not something really super common

alpine ingot
#

I forget where I saw this so take it with a massive grain of salt, but I think the general idea in that case is to store the tithe until travel becomes possible. I think one world converted their moon or an asteroid into a giant warehouse so they could store their tithe off world.

So what do space marines do on their "offtime"

#

What do they eat? Do they sleep? I assume train and pray

#

Salamanders get to see their families

barren tapir
# sullen cape adeptus ministorum can requstion any transport ship for tithe delivery; inadditi...

I don't fully get this... The ecclershiarchy can tithe only from their world, and obviously they ask the imperial navy to collect and ship, since you know, they are the navy... The tithe of the actual imperial worlds is handled by the administratum for resource tithes, and by the munitorum for military stuff... And they too get collected by the navy because once again they are the one that have the means to transport stuff

plush mason
#

"join the navy they said. see the galaxy they said."
get stuck on a tithe ship

it changes from Chapter to Chapter

I bet the ultramarines spend their free time as stock market advisers and help the general populace do their taxes

storm jungle

Ye

vast frigate
#

it all depends on their chapter and the person

#

theres a single mention of a chaplain who paints ''miniaturized replicaes of larger vehicles''

plush mason

the space wolves feast iirc

vast frigate
#

the space wolves literally just party and live viking life

plush mason
#

yup

#

they consume copious amounts of mead and meat till they pass out. truely my spiritual kin

rose thorn
#

weird question, so like the heads on abandons armor and crap for an exampl e, were they from anyone specific, liek people who he really hated, were tey his first kills? does he have to switch the heads out every once in a while? Like tis really dumb question but like a daemon prince or Abaddon, or like any named character with trophies has killed countelss lives so only have like, 8 skulls, or why even bother??

storm jungle
#

and it looks cool

rose thorn
#

BUT WHAT MAKES THE SKULLS ON IT BETTER THEN THE OTHERS

#

ITS NOT LIEK EVEN A CHAPTER MASTER'S HELMET ITS JSUT A NORMAL ONE

storm jungle
#

Because its on a high ranking person's armor, signifying they had the honor of being trophies

storm jungle
#

same reason why their origin isnt explained

#

its not that deep

real stone
#

and if I remember correctly, not all of them are human

rose thorn
#

Okay, thank you Dilara, i was looking at the 9th edition codex art and realized 'id expect the master of basically all of chaos to have alot more heads on his trophy belt'

real stone
#

Plus, you gotta remember. Abbadon is fucking crazy he spent so long waiting on the vengeful spirit with basically no one to talk to

storm jungle
#

Yeah i dont wanna be blunt sorry

#

its just that sometimes it doesnt matter lul

#

as in like

#

the people that make these minis dont put much thought into it

#

aside from

real stone
#

what looks cool

storm jungle
#

"hey lets give him a massive garden fence looking trophy belt"

#

yeah that

#

Model appearances tend to rarely get lore

rose thorn
#

lmao fair

tbh a lot of recent modelling decisions also are in place to make recasters' lives more difficult

waaaaaaaaaaaaagh

#

my favorite video on the lore is luetin09's video about orks, as well as the horus hersey. Learned so much from him

storm jungle
#

Yes

#

Leutin9's a good bit of fun. Does a good job of balancing detail with a bit of tongue in cheek humor

plush mason

so not even some members of the ordo malleus know the grey knights exist?

#

Kinda ugly too tbh

cerulean wagon
#

its not about who the info is from, and more about the info itself

vapid tiger
#

What about it

#

Vraks cool

It's just overrated and there's a lot of really bad memes about it

cerulean wagon
#

Vraks is kinda aweful hogwash, so it taints pretty much everything it touches

vapid tiger
#

vraks cool.

Just ignore the numbers and memes

#

Total net loss for the imperium

Effectively a net gain for chaos

what's not to like

cerulean wagon
#

everything about the writting

vapid tiger
#

writting

#

i mean it's fine i guess for 40k

Cardinal is manipulated by chaos servant into effectively seceding an armory world from the imperium

Siege is set up by the imperium using siege regiments

Siege goes on until alpha legion gets involved

Dark angels fight alpha legion, then they fuck off

Vraks defenders slowly subverted to chaos over time

Chaos fleet appears, kills imperial fleet, and deposits a shitload of csm on the planet before fucking off

Becomes a clusterfuck as inquisition and marine chapters are deployed to deal with it

Initial servant becomes a daemon prince because of the clusterfuck he made

By the time the siege grounds the defenders to dust the armory world is useless because they used up most of the shit being stored there

Hinted at being instigated by abaddon as vraks becoming useless makes the 13th black crusade much easier

#

p average battle

#

cool thematically

Not much of an engaging narrative but it's not terrible

#

It's alright

cerulean wagon
#

thats the overall plot, not the actual writing

#

its a very poor book set, that lead to the weird krieg cult playerbase

vapid tiger
#

Oh the nitty gritty gets convoluted

#

But that's 40k book writing in a nutshell

#

I mean I'll take it over the clusterfuck that is the second battle of damnos

eternal rune
#

2nd battle of damnos is based tho

#

Ultramarines go to necron tomb world and kick ass, decisive victory, leave

cerulean wagon
#

but its such trash writting

#

arguably worse than vraks even

eternal rune
#

If it has an imperial victory it's good writing considering how underpowered the imperium is

plush mason
#

underpowered?

storm jungle
#

Imperium

#

Underpowered

#

literally wins 99% of the battles in the setting

plush mason
#

they are like one of the most overpowered factions in the entire setting

eternal rune
#

It's constantly written as being doomed though

#

Like "lol chaos will win!!!"

#

"chaos is unstoppable!"

#

"tyranids are unstoppable!!!"

#

"necrons and orks are unstoppable!"

#

"the imperium is DOOMED!!!!"

#

Like chaos is way more op than the imperium

#

Due to favoritism from writers

storm jungle
#

Theres literally no favoritism

#

why do you think the Imperium gets like 50 books monthly

eternal rune
#

Guilliman and primaris marines were a much needed power boost

storm jungle
#

Not really

#

lol

plush mason
#

abaddon has literally failed 13 times to destroy the imperium

eternal rune
#

And abaddon is also a mary sue because gw rewrote him as having won all 13 of them somehow

storm jungle
#

None of the black crusades were failures

#

literally all of them had a single objective

storm jungle
#

do I have to get the warhammer community post from last month

eternal rune
#

Well other factions aren't as popular ofc

#

That's like asking for more CIS centered episodes in the clone wars cartoon

#

Or for the main characters of lotr to be sauron and some orcs

plush mason
storm jungle
eternal rune
#

Or for the decepticons to be the protagonists of transformers

storm jungle
#

too long to spell out here

rose thorn
eternal rune
#

They're the heroes therefore they get the most stories

rose thorn
#

but there is alot of varity in the imperium, and also xenos are popular

storm jungle
#

Yeah that too

#

Imperium just get more books because of having WAY more fans

rose thorn
#

and chaos

storm jungle
#

Yeee

plush mason
#

every 3rd model sold is a SM so ofc they and the imperium get the most lore

rose thorn
#

I kinda wish the imperium split in half, but meh i think its fine enough

plush mason
#

i mean it has afaik

eternal rune
#

Xenos are literally npcs tho

#

Why should they get most books?

rose thorn

Oh my god

go find the GW post

#

saying the Imperium is shit again

eternal rune
#

There's literally an entire line of miniatures called "space marine heroes"

plush mason
#

cuz hero units

eternal rune
#

Warhammer Adventures calls marines and the imperium heroic

storm jungle
#

Dude

#

thats marketing

eternal rune
#

It's not just marketing

shadow plover
#

they are their heroes

eternal rune
#

That's how it's written

shadow plover
#

one third of the space marine heroes are death guard for crying out loud

barren tapir
rose thorn
#

correct me if im wrong, but in AOS they are caleld heros, but in 40k they are called characters

eternal rune
#

You constantly have bl authors and 40k stories basically validating the imperium's worst behaviors

#

Justifying exterminatus and mutant genocide for example

storm jungle
#

a space marine chapter

#

that takes

unwilling humans

#

so they can breed

#

and make better candidates

#

against their will

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

This is the Imperium so no

#

LMAO

rose thorn
#

heeh

barren tapir
#

That would be too reasonable for world eaters anyway

storm jungle
#

But yeah like, the Imperium is shown as heroes in marketing because no kid is gonna buy from a store of a space marine stepping on a human civillian that just wanted his world to be free from imperial oppression

eternal rune
#

There's an entire chapter of dark imperium devoted to "this is why you shouldn't take care of soldiers"

#

Because a hospital proves to be perfect grounds for nurgle to possess three guys and summon an army

storm jungle
#

Doesnt matter

#

the Imperium is a hellhole

#

its just as bad as the people they fight against

rose thorn
#

Its a political hellscape

Most imperial worlds aren't feudal, most of them are about on part with a modern day dictatorship in terms of quality of life, the only difference is there's a space port, and the dictators have lasguns.

calling the imperium fascist = not knowing what fascism is, I'm sorry. The imperium is an evil hellhole but it's not fascist, just like it's not communist. It tracks a lot more with more historic systems of government, not 20th century government.

well fascism is a cult of the state where everything is within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. It has core tenants, and is as complex a philosophy as marxism or any other 20th century political theory. It's evil, totalitarian (which is worse than simply authoritarian), and it perpetrates a moral agenda which it enslaves its people towards.

The Imperium follows an absolutist moral structure, similar to fascism, but it has separations like the ministorum, and the mechanicus, and most worlds simply follow a feudal model of tithe delivery to the larger imperium. On an individual planet level, there are more fascist planets, and the imperium has definitely gotten more fascistic since the rise of Robote, but still, a fascist dictatorship doesn't work on a galactic scale, it requires too much control that just isn't there in the iumperium which is a government that barely functions enough to survive at the best of times.
