OHhhhh
Yeah this is all you're gonna get atm.
This is from the T.Sons codex and it doesnt go much into their recruitment beyond this
Thatās way cooler then fuckin ultra marines tax trials or what ever
Paper work your self into a space marine
LMAO
Not even that
crawling through a minefield with machinegun fire above
while wolves maul the kids

Dwarf fortress wolfpit tier recruitment
And yeah you can see why people love T.Sons
they are just really cool
Bird nerd egyptian magic SM
poor thousand sons
Yeee I have some rubic marines but never worked on them, Iāll porbably make an amey list in the near future
I was gonna make an EC list for CSMs but Iād rather not die from upgrade kits older then my sister and make WBs instead, but Iām saving that for when the new CSM air drops. So yeah Iāll probably make a T. Sons army
š
I was gonna get the T sons start collecting, but it doenst really look my style
Tzaangors and terminators, more like uh.
Idk
Wow thousand sons do not have many choices Huh?
WHOOPS
ALL TZAANGORS
š
HAAHAHAH
that was half the memes people made for it when they saw the latest T.Sons boxset
its hilariously accurate
but yeaah like, I hope you enjoy spamming Rubrics 
Yeah I was expecting that Lmao
My condolences
Uhh its something Mutalith uhhh
THERE it is
I LOVE IT
I wonder if itās good or what it even does
Oh itās like, a Daemon engine, Iāll send the stats itās kinda weird but I love it
Wahapedia: Thousand Sons ā Mutalith Vortex Beast (stats, options, wargear, abilities and keywords).
š
Yeah its a pretty unique lad
I think Iām make a cult of mutation army
And damn thier one named characters color scheme is banging
dont forget the walking ash piles
?
Rubric marines
yeah them
Lewd
Saruman the white???
Astorthas the Inconstant
So are Vostroyans other than the firstborn of every family allowed to join the guard
I assume they dont join the firstborn
like why do all the nobles of Vostroya send their firstborn to the guard in that way?
During the Heresy they didnt help the emperor due to impossible quotas, so they took it as their punishment and a way to repay the Imperium
i see
Also the Mechanicus are part of the leaders of the planet, which i think happened as a way to make sure it didnt happen again
They got hella drip too
is that also why their gear so much better than average?
That, and the fact that they take that "soviet national pride" thing
i thought they where Napoleonic french inspired
The workers spend 1 hour of every 10 maintaining the regiment as well
Idk, they got the funny hats
I thought they were russian
yeah those giant bearskins where the hats the french imperial guard worn
lol
But they still look badass
They are mainly russian cossacks with European/Napoleonic inspiration
Thank you person more historically literate than me
They are eastern Slavs inspired
funny enough thats what i first thought. then someone in another 40k server called me and idiot for it lol
(Sorry for my English. I am a fucking uga buga Ukrainian monkey) their coat looks like the one Russian āstreltsiā had, and their hats are called āpapahaā. They were also worn by russian military and Cossacks in winter. And the last thing is that all their names are East Slavic. For example: Graf Toshenko(Ukrainian surname), or Grigoriy Kulikov( russian surname), Maxim Kabanov, etc.
Coats
Hats
Cause guys who are not history nerds are constantly calling them āBritish guardā or āNapoleonic Frenchā inspired, which pisses off vostroyan fans. There are even guys who say that āGW wonāt do any Russian inspired regiments, cause Russians donāt buy miniatures (?), and also Russians are hated by everyone, so they are bad and donāt deserve anything goodā. And that was before war in Ukraine. Canāt imagine what is going on in their heads NOWā¦
lol
the Mechanicus were part of the leaders long before the emperor even came. Vostroya originally was in the Mechanicus empire.
God I love the streltsi usage of their bardiches as a support for their muskets
Itās a vibe
Nope, only firstborn, all other can work in special manufactorum to make the best quality gear for the firstborn though
Too bad it wouldnāt work against space marines :((
It is because vostroya is an industrial world, and the Ad. Mech. has the monopoly on tech and kinda help with industrial stuff
Well, the main reason , as I previously said, is that the Mechanicus were on vostroya before the E
Your english isn't that bad mate, also NO! No uga buga Ukrainian monkey as far i can see
It wasn't, it always was a imperial world, never a mechanicus one, but one that had great industrial output and close ties to the Ad. Mech. because of that
Hmm.. I surely remember reading somewhere about that
The origins of this unusual arrangement can be found in the Age of Strife, when Vostroya was the rare independent world that swore allegiance to Mars, rather than be settled by a colony of tech-priests as was the norm for almost all of the other Forge Worlds.
I mean, maybe we are stating the same thing, let me rephrase...
Vostroya was allied to the Ad. Mech. since old time, but was never actually part of the Ad. Mech. otherwise it would be a forge world fully under the Ad. Mech. rule and wouldn't need to give stuff to the imperium... In this way they are kinda a middle ground
Yes, this, we were saying the same but with different words
Ok
Also, i congratulate your knowledge of vostroya tbf, i rarely meet people that know enough about it as regiment and world
Many go with the valhallan one for russians, since many don't make the connection between vostroya russian empire age to vostroya
Oh, I am fucking simping on them
And also I collect..ed.. them
And now, when all pirate 3D printing companies are gone
No vostroya
Only Cadians
If krieg got to become plastic and updated then there is hope for vostroya too, they were liked quite a bit afaik
In the darkness of the 2022, there is only hope
For some reason I donāt think GW is going to do that. They already have 2 new regiments, Cadian reskin and Dorn tank to please IG fans
Dorn tank? The new tank is called dorn???!!
Rogal Dorn tank
Something between baneblade and leman russ they say
Someone leaked the upcoming IG releases
U ok?
Yes, just searching for those leaks
don't think there has been any pics? Just the supposed name
think it was on the dakkadakka forums
god i hope its not called rogal dorn
It is. Unless GW will rename it closer to release
well tanks have been always named after notable people so it is pretty fitting
yeah but the other people, bar the russ, are interesting
New Tank (Apparently named Rogal Dorn Battle Tank)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and atleast leman russ sounds good
Skelly just be happy guard gets something at this point :sadge:
FFS no primarch name for tanks
Macharius, Malcador
like idk
Creed tank would be better imo
Are we on the same side Skele?
We know we're getting a new Creed to replace him thou
Shame we donāt have new models for those
Never thought i would fight side by side with a Skeleton
the problem there would be that you can still field the character named Creed on the tabletop so maybe that's why they didn't go with that
But yes, creed is the best name for naming a new tank
you can also field leman russ on the tabletop
well not in 40k
and dorn
Not only we can say "it is the creed of the Ad. Mech. made manifest" or "the creed of the emperor will protect you" or still "creed might have fallen defending cadia, but his name will live on and bring retribution to the enemies of mankind"
Creed is the superior name, not fucking rogal dorn FFS!!!!
Hey
Sadly, from what we're been teased, the new guard models will be a bit more round / more futuristic
See!!! Creed is superior as name!!
I mean, creed himself was quite rotound iirc his model, so it checks out
Kinda like most guard minis because they kinda show their age
I worry that it it again a fucking cadia reskin
New htw for CADIA
New kasrkins for
U guessed
Cadia
New sentinel with CADIAN pilot
Well, kasrkin are cadian unique, that make sense... But we should also get 2 new regiments
Lets not jump to conclusions yet
It is easy to misname the armour as cadian pattern
And to think it is unique to them
However, lets hope we get more head options other than basic and catachan yeah
yeah the armour cadians use isn't Cadian, just the basic guard armour that is the most used across the imperium
It would be really nice to get a name for such pattern, like mars pattern armour or something, that way we could more easily point out that it is not cadian pattern armour
Think it's just called standard flak armour
Standard pattern armour could also work yes, but too much generic
Well, they can include .. I donāt know.. some tallarn or maccabian heads but it is like super lazy
I mean they could also give us special miniatures or atleast extra sprues for em
But seeing how even the normal troup box is lacking ... its gonna take a while
Well, Chaos legionnaire box will include all the bits for customising all main legions so lets hope the next guard boxes do that too
Thatās all cool and shit, but when in every codex u are shown all those Cossacks, red armies, American navy guys, Arabs etc, but all u can get is a bunch of āgenericā bodies with the armor that only covers their titiesā¦
Sure, but having a whole extra range of models that serve pretty much the same purpose for a singel sub faction isn't really something GW does anymore. No other faction gets that any more either
Krieg is pretty much the only one left
well they only get upgrade sprues which are very minimal
It could end it there
Depends really, some like the BT or the BA, and especially Dark Angels get a lot more than just sprues
BT are in their own codex but yeah BA and DA get pretty extensive range upgrades
So do space wolves, I believe only the somewhat less played like White scars and Iron Hands get very little
mostly because indeed, they are space marines so they come first in regards of option availability
but even for them the main troop options are universal, something like Vostroyans need a whole range of models to make it work
Lufgt Huron did nothing wrong.
Proof me wrong!

now this is some good ol fashioned edge
morbiding....
sounds similar.....
you mean MORBIUS
The Morbifactors
So many tags, my man panting for that algorithm
though i gotta ask what up with space marines and cannibalism arent there like 2-4 other chapters that do it
the blood angels are literally just vampires lol
like half the BA successionist chapters
Basically to be edgy
and most authors not realising the gimmick is already taken

They've got an organ that lets them gather info from the flesh of dead enemies
so
Its mostly a case of 3 people writing a codex page for successor chapters going
whats the deal with these knights malevolent SM?
sometimes it's kinda useful?
"oh my god how do we make some unique successors"
Other times, it's just flavor text that gets taken too far
yep
ba dum tss
lol
tax fraud is their favourite thing
?
you mean marines malevolent?
yeah them
well, another blindingly obvious hint by the authors is that malevolent simply defines who they are
like the only thing i know of them is they tend to kill all their allies and the civies after every battle
that's basically it
wtf
they are basically such assholes, that its not even funny
before/during/after
^
all the same
and most Imperial adeptas
and marines
dont want to be associated with them
when you get the Salamanders to be angry at your tactics that says a lot
are they a successor chapter?
Yeah
of who
not known from whom though
Yeah it isnt known
my money on the world eaters š
Lmao
yeah like, their dislike from others is so bad that
the Malevolent have to raid
and scavenge
for gear lmao
so just like the world eaters lol
Yep
they arent declared traitors or renegades because people would probably get mad lol
I wouldn't be
I mean its 40k fans they are mad at everything
they are basically a footnote Chapter too
like the marines malevolent have a total of 2 supporters
1 being chaos 2 being orks
like i said their assholeness isnt even that funny
its just
"we bombed the civvies lol"
ill be honest kinda want some mortificators
And they are likely to never get attention ever again until another chapter becomes them but better
paint scheme is kinda coool
posts selfie picture on instagram with dead civilians in the background
Sadly thats how GW writing goes
Marines Malevolent are the kind of guys to run a credit card scam
"Yes just tell me the 3 digits at the back of your card"
They need that money though
they stole the apes
marines malevolent be like
Nah become that would make em good guys
they'd still be partaking in the crypto scam
Theyd be the one creating the Ultramarines NFT and then dissapear with the money
Does anyone have a picture of Drukhari slave torture furniture? I need it for reference
Literally asking for a friend
the whole "turn people into stools and shit" thing
YEAH MAN I NEED IT LOL
you got hooked
I actually dont think it exists?
A friend is asking me how, and I also need to know how it looks
step 1
like, dark eldar furniture thing is uh mostly in books
ah damn. Was really hoping there was some sort of picture representation of it
Yeah nah i dont think so
that may be a little to edgy even for 40k art ngl
you havent seen Karak_klansmen art
like how there isnt an art of the warp gates that psykers can turn into
I might need to go to reddit. Maybe there's some 40k fan art of that stuff
i do not want to know how that happens.
Okay i found a similiar art
but its not 40k
lmao
same
lay it on me
Gonna delete it in a bit but just use this as a reference for what dark eldar do but tell em its not 40k artwork
so at least he isnt misdirected lmao
wtf
a simp's biggest dream
Saved it, you can delete now
lol
I think there's a literally mini where a daemonette plays a human harf
Yup
Yeee
And its gruesome
yes
bam
its really creative
aha
that simp has very... "interesting" tastes
lol

That is such a sick model.
Ikr, its amazing
You ignore your ex's, I make them a part of my life, we are not the same. lmao
this is great
The age of sigmar models go so hard
Like 90% of the Daemon models are amaizng
I feel like some of the khorne ones fall flat tho
Yeah khorne just doesnt have interesting visuals you can really play off of
blood skulls and brass lol
Khorne should have some more horrific war aesthetics. A daemon made of barbed wire, spent brass shells, and mud is far more indicative of war in 40k than a big red man
I like the way you think
See thats what gaunts ghost got me thinkin. The razor wire warp entities? The scarification of the blood pact? Thats the stuff thats cool and creative
good fucking luck making a miniature of that thing
You'd need a person experienced in creating designs that work for mini production, but I believe it could be done
you're gonna be paying x3 as much for a pack of them than you would for the generic satan daemons
40k is miniatures first which is why most of it looks very basic and bulky
I'll keep that in mind when designing my own minis
The picture i posted?
I think khorne could do with more like, daemons thatās are just weapons
Or maybe more like, unqiue models I think, like āoh this guy is a black smith who Sharpens daemons swords and shit
Yeah maybe we'll see some good stuff once the World Eaters army rolls around
Shotguns are a very khorne gun, They're amongst the 1% of gibbing and goring weapons and require you to actually he within harm's reach to use unlike just taking pot shots at enemies from afar
Gw i know ur reading this rn
Give WE'rs shotguns
Yeee true
Also I barely see tzeetch at all in 40K lore
Besides 1k sons
But thatās their own thing
Yeah Tzeentch doesnt really do forefront stuff unless its T-Sons
the most usual twist you'll get in some books is just "oh no he was manipulated by tzeentch all along!"
so its usually eh
Damn
I mean it makes sense, his role is kinda filled out by other factions anyway
It would be cool if he gets a lil story line like āyeah so random people are getting omega tier Psyker powers and fucking employing, we need to find what ever cult or Daemon or what ever is doing thsiā
nice
YESSSS
I call it cannon now
Kharn the betrayer and agrel tal āØ
They found each other in da warp

==============
Huge thanks to Ethan Song for taking the time to read up on Tallarn Lore and coming up with the very genius lyrics! Ethan also did the vocals for this! :D
===...
the Tallarn seem to be just complete dune rip offs lol
They are basically English people's attempt at bedouins/lawrence of arabia types
i can tell lol

ofc the planet seems to be little more than that death world from dune just without the worms
Yeah its literally just a desert
it has some cool backstory though
otherwise its kinda dull
Theyāre based upon the hashemites and the desert rats of WWI and WWII respectively. Itās clearer on books where they are described that they are not really fremen, so much as hashemites in space that fight like the desert rats.
hashemites?
are you talking about the ismili?
or are they another group i havent heard or read about lol
no
ok
The Hashemites are a house
never heard of them
They're 'royal family' claims to be the direct descendants of muahmmed
The last remaining ruling branch is the jordanian royals
The Hashemites (Arabic: Ų§ŁŁŲ§Ų“Ł ŁŁŁ, romanized: al-HÄshimÄ«yÅ«n), also House of Hashim, are the royal family of Jordan, which they have ruled since 1921, and were the royal family of the kingdoms of Hejaz (1916ā1925), Syria (1920) and Iraq (1921ā1958). The family had ruled the city of Mecca continuously from the 10th century, frequently as vassals o...
i see
mr pulling out the ol history book
the desert rats are a vibe tho
also I like the Maccabian Janissaries but I wish they actually y'know
had more to do with their namesake
still look cool tho
I was always a large fan of the Maccabians and it's a shame we don't get to see more of them
yeee
If we took the chaos gods & put them in the modern world would they still be stuck in a eternal deadlock or would one of them have advantages over the others
equal imo
honestly
khorne may be the weakest
there arent that many wars nowadays compared to old times
he's definitely gonna get his share of bloodlust and rage from social media addicts tho
slaanesh would be doing pretty good right now actually if they were born by this time
greedy lunatics are rampant
not to mention other things...
people say nurgle but the pandemics currently aren't as flatulent and disgusting as he'd like them to be
think he'd like the bubonic plague though
pus filled boils and whatnot
hoho don't forget daily shit spewing on the streets on the innocent bystanders
Tzeentch would be the strongest, in terms of how much back-end stuff that goes on in the world that we don't know about
It could be Slaneesh too without any issues with how hedonistic life is
Drugs are still rampant
Khorne would probably be a growing power
Like he's still strong, but he is growing stronger
Considering all the rage there is in the world
From gamer rages, to the angry females movemen
Easy now š

he's gonna be the god of rage but with nothing cool and intimidating to back it up
40k fan
that would imply fit
He'd probably be absolutely lazy, but won't have a dad bod
He would need a box of keyboards with how big his fingers are and how heavily he'd be typing
Probably go through one keyboard every 10 minute after he's done with his posts
10?
You underestimate him
He'd go through them in ~5 mins
He's always having atleast 3 flame wars
I underestimated it, I just wanted a realistic estimate due to mechanical keyboards š
40k fans when they see a minority
Those 40k fans*
yep had quite a few here
Gonan be honest, out of all the loyalist primarchs to return, lion or dorn would make most sense but Corvus would be so much cooler
A loyalist daemon primarch would be fucking awesoem
I could see the lion returning
Iām pretty sure itās been hinted A lot
What if they just say fuck and bring back some primarch everyone forgot liek Ferrus
āOh yeah his head? They just sewed it back onā
they replaced it with a beach ball
just needed a lil glue
Isn't Dorn dead
I wish
Up until about 6th or 7th ed he was an entire amber encased skeleton onboard the phalanx but then they changed it to just his hands
Or maybe just one hand
AFAIR wasn't he shot by some Iron Warrior or something?
No his believed death was and remains him storming a chaos ship during the first black crusade and then getting surrounded alone by a massive horde of khorne berserkers
and getting shredded
Nothing was left but his hand so they carried away his body or captured him
So now it's thought he is secretly alive somewhere?
The Imperium and Imperial Fists don't think so
They think he's dead
He might be secretly alive but uh
I sure hope he isn't
why not
I don't like the idea of more loyalist primarchs returning
Because the setting would just revolve around them if they did given gw's track record
I like the idea of 40k being that of a crumbling nightmare empire struggling in what many assume are its final days, not guilliman and his brothers stomping on everything else repeatedly which is just space marine wank on roids
Guilliman being alone is fine tho
Because that fits the former idea
I think the fandom idea of multiple loyalist primarchs returning and having the setting revolve around them is
Very lame
Although
I wouldn't mind the idea of one returning and it leading to some sort of imperial civil war
That would be fine
And also give more narrative to imperial vs imperial matchups on the tabletop
Okay so based off the lore
Who would win
The empire of ultramar
Or the unforgiven
Kinda depends but id say probably nobody
Ultramarines would just summon all their successors for help the moment the Dark Angels' successors attack them
so it would be like the Badab War but even worse
To be clear there is like 20-25 DA successors
Which are pretty loyal for the more part
okay then ultramar wins
Yeah the Ultras got like a ton of successors
Ultramarines have about 9 defenders of ultramar if i remember correctly
most chapters are either um successors or um successors who don't know they're um successors
Most are not loyal
Thing is guilliman would send out a mass call for aid
This just the empire ultramar vs the unforgiven
Let's say there's 500-700 um successors
If even 10 percent of those show up at the last minute it would be enough to turn the tide
Ultramarines might still manage it due to the sheer scale of ultramar if we just take those 9 chapters plus everything else
Where did you get the 20-25 successor count from
do not tell me you just counted the successors on lexicanum
18 official chapters sorry i fucked up with my memeory
To be clear there could be more
Official successor chapters should never be treated as the only successor chapters of a given chapter
But that is the minimum
Thats just second founding unforgiven chapters
Not other foundings
Yeah there's got to be at least double that active in the 41st millennium
To give room for player created unforgiven chapters
Which is the entire intent behind successor chapters
And chapters in general
Thats why j said 20-25 cause of the other cause i knew there were more
Just only 18 official
I have always wanted to field a force of the unforgiven with squads from different chapters
(Table top)
Like frankly first founding chapters are treated as being too uh
Omnipresent by both gw and subsequently the fandom as treating them as the list of who will show up when space marines would be called in 40k
When they only make up less than 1% of all chapters
I treat first foundings as literally just the command of thier successors
Cause most of the time thats what they are
so do you imagine when it says the ultramarines are deployed to 10 places at once that it just means "oh a force of ultramarines and/or their successors"
Yes cause there is no way you would send just 100 marines
Good headcanon
Its all but confirmed
Especially since you have sources from 30k that cite marines being regularly deployed to places in the thousands to fight
And then in 40k it's like "things have gotten worse"
"But we need less marines to adequately defend against things"
like huh
Every chapter but the space wolfs has armies of successors
Salamanders barely have 2 confirmed afik
The raven guard despite thier loses still have a fuckton of successors
But arent they granted an exemption for chapter size
And didnt they get a fuckton of primaris
oh thats right
the exemption for chapter size thing is basically for alll the first founding boys?
ik the wolves and templars go crazy on their sm printer
Uh
Yeah but salamanders actually have less
Than usual
That's the exception
700 marines
Because they constantly take up losses
Because they are constantly fighting
If they aren't they spend a bit of time with their families and then go fight again
sad amphibian noises
Which of the primarchs heretic, loyal or dead would most be willing to side with the tau temporarily or even long term?
Roboute i guess
khan would jebait the hecc out of tau
Guilliman is pretty much the only likely one
but as said before he'd use them as bait lmao
Alpharius
Lol
You are certainly wrong
I know such because I am Alpharius
no i am
@tranquil umbra Thereās no real exemption itās more a loophole.
For example the black templars almost never fight as a single force but in multiple ācrusadesā most of which will number less than 1000 marines. As they are all effectively independent they can handwave it by saying each is a different chapter.
Space wolf companies work in much the same way.
Basically no one gets a real āexemptionā but you can fudge your numbers if you obey the spirit of the rule. No one can have the power of a legion and no one officer can command more than 1000 astartes.
Also I may be wrong on this but I donāt think scouts count towards the 1000 limit?
See above.
theres the scouts numbers that fall into a iffy definition afaik and the among the templars there are the ones that remain back in their keeps
Question. Is there an equivalent of a āhealing draughtā in 40k for mere mortals?
Yeah, there's nothing quite as... immediate? as a healing draught
But also
have you noticed: The healing draught glows the same green color as warpstone?
are we drinking powdered warpstone?
Is that why they complain about the taste and the smell?
It has a temple of Shallya ribbon on it so no
the taste and smell complaint is mostly because most healing stuff even we drink IRL tend to taste awful lol
Isn't the convocation of decay level a temple of Shallya
doesnt 40k have stims and the like?
Yeah like i said narcotics
Just the beginning part yes
shallya was the godess of healing right?
Yep
would always ruin me how its the same colour, trying to scan for healing and you spot shards of warpstone instead
it is deliberate, warpstone is basically crystalised magic
literally is. Warpstone is crystallised magic or 'chaos'. Healing draughts are ethers imbued with magic. Its as much a deliberate visual reference to the lore as a gameplay one

š»
The healing poultice and healing draught are based on items from warhammer fantasy roleplay, they aren't inherently magical items, also, even touching warpstone, which is crystallized Dhar, can induce horrific mutation, drinking it would kill most people or turn them into a mewling mass of mutation and madness, so no, the healing draught is not made of warpstone.
Vermintide borrowed a bunch of things from the fantasy roleplay system, and darktide is going to borrow a bunch of things from Dark Heresy warhammer 40k roleplay, because it's just smart to do.
Only war i hope
Yeah, in their "you can trust us" post they showed their Dark heresy first edition book and how it inspired them for DT
No, Dark Heresy, Only War is about being imperial guard, and regiments, and all that stuff, Dark Heresy is about the inquisition, and the characters in darktide are clearly based on inquisitorial acolytes.
I am not surprised, one chapter of the appearently oldest whfrpg campaign is called Shadow over Bƶgenhafen
In the old TTRPG potions were all by definition, magical items. I'm not saying the healing draught contains warpstone, but both Warpstone and Potions contain 'chaos' or 'magic' according to the lore. Hence the glow
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A TON of premade fantasy adventures are based around Ubersreik
Reading that campaign book currently, good stuff
Gonna Run that soon
Sowas for the campaign that it was updated in basically every edition of that ruleset
They don't, the distinction between types of magic is very important and the healing draughts have the symbol of Shallya on them, this means the winds of magic are not used in their production as the human clergy doesn't use magic, at least not that way, also in WFRP4e draughts can be made by mundane apothecaries, the green glow is clearly only there for visibility.
Yeah thats what I said earlier too
its just simple visual coding
"Green > health item"

No wonder the skaven are the most healthy faction
IF they were magical healing they would have the symbol of Ghyran and the Jade College on them, not Shallya.
They are only slightly healthier than Nurgle worshippers.
*Pestilens
I am aware of this. But if I recall correctly the clergy still use divine 'magic' (in the TTRPG, clergy rituals were detectable by 'witch sight'). But its not channelled from the Winds of magic.
Pretty sure they lampshade this in VT2 with Saltzspires 'miracles' from his priest class
Blessings and Miracles are a thing in 4e, and throughout warhammer fantasy are implied to basically be the winds of magic filtered through their faith and/or their God's will, however healing draughts are commonplace enough that each of them being a miracle of Shallya is extremely improbable, the most you can get away with is saying that they're blessed by Shallya.
r healing draughts are commonplace enough that each of them being a miracle of Shallya is extremely improbable
Well it is set during the Endtimes. I'd say if that Shallya was to go 'all in' on miracles it would be then.
Perhaps they are blessed in that time period, but rarely before?
It's more likely Shallya is busy giving miracles in more important places through her priests, Saltzpyre has Sigmar's eye on him not to mention Kerillian constantly calling the attention of Isha, Kurnous, Lileath, Atharthi, Hekarthi and Morai-Heg
They've got plenty of divine intervention to go around without Shallya somehow remotely planting healing draughts in their path when her attention is best spent on her actual priests.
So... the healing draughts are magical confirmed.
As I said if, anything they're blessed by priests of Shallya, but they're not inherently magical.
I'll take a 'possibly magical in VT' not always magical the rest of the time š
They're not inherently magical in VT either
The human gods in warhammer very rarely bless actual objects.
Need I point out that despite Saltzpyre's devotion Sigmar didn't deign him with a single miracle until he became a proper war priest?
And the statue's hammer doesn't count as that can happen without Saltzpyre in the party.
The most independently active gods are the Chaos Gods and the Elven Gods
literally going in circles at this point huh.
beer here comes in green bottles
I have a theory that works 90% of the time. It states that if a beer comes in a green bottle/can, it is terrible
Leaf love bottles spoil the beer
its a scientific fact
I hate that there is people who unironically believe the emperor was morally just
Remember, there are people that also believe that the Imperium are the good guys.
True
The Khab had it right. Big E was terrible and so was the Imperium. But humanity no longer had other options for unification and general betterment.
Khan*
He brought humanity into a dictatorship, killed thousands of people and destroyed cultures and independent communities.
He pulled a Roman Empire
Like yeah techno Barbadianās weāre the biggest problem, but he could have fixed that then it would have been fine.
At the time
Yup. But then you have to figure that without him doing that things like the xenocides would've instead been human genocides of all those cultures and fractured empires and planets that he brought to compliance
But from what he did he caused chaos to grow, if he did nothing then chaos would have died out naturally
Also. He didn't even destroy cultures unless they were blatantly incompatible with being shifted to align with the imperium(like chaos worshipping ones)
He destroyed all religion
Listen. In 40k there are literally no factions that don't casually exterminate other races. So I was kinda discounting those. Lmao
The inquisition barely even exterminate
Statistical issue. The imperium killed most "non-dangerous" xenos
The ones left are those capable of fighting the imperium
Exactly, or ones that they can exploit
Also there rlly isnt a faction interested in genocide for genocides sake other than the imperium
And nids maybe but, theyre just after biomass
Necrons?
khorne but even then
Orks?
Not anymore
MehhHhh, they just want to be worshipped depending on who
Now something a quarter of the Necrons are ok with humans acting as normal as long as they obey their dynasty
Even the drukhari arent rlly interestrd in genocide for the purpose of genocide LMAO
Which is a funny technicality
Well Drukahri are dependant on others, like chaos
Yeee
Eldar and Tau are the only two that don't actively plan on murdering everything in the galaxy that isn't them
Lmao
Thats like half the xeno factions
wait fr
And unless, Drukhari begin to create the best, most comfy city in the world to create the most innocent and sincere humans just to be pain lifestocks, they can't just control em
And even then Tau still want to enslave them. So it's not really any better
I mean tau enslave in the same sense that the imperium does
Yeah lemme get the name fo the big dynasty that does it
They have an oppressive system
But it's not as oppressive as the imperium
Mfw I am enslaved and have a better life as a Gue'vesa than I ever had as a imperial citizen
i mean at least they don't have servitors
and 20 hour workdays
and they have safer working conditions
and safer living conditions
If you willingly join chaos at least if you die it wonāt be from working so hard your spinal cord breaks
Ironically the tau, even while considering auxillaries to be lower, still value human life more than the imperium
Did you pick up a wrench? How dare you. That's for the engineer caste. Now we're going to take you out back and give you a punishment worse than death.
Humans dont go into castes
They are auxillaries
Estomik Dynasty and other smaller ones
They are assigned based on their skills
and they don't have insane lynch mobs prowling the streets led by mad preachers intermixed with cultists who worship occult demons who can get by because the imperial cult is doing the same thing but with extra gold and an official sanction and no demons
what's the punishment worse than death
Only Tau go into the caste system with auxillaries functioning as support
And if they step out of line for those roles they are assigned then they'll get the same punishment as a Tau would. Or worse considering they are third class citizens.
what punishment worse than death do the tau deal out tho
and cite a source
because being a servitor is worse than death but there's no servitors in the tau empire
Yeah thats the thing
Basically the same level of function as being turned into a servitor if I remember
Theres not alot bad you can find in ths tau empire that the imperium doesnt do the same, or worse
They basically super lobotomize you
as far as i can remember the worst punishment for tau citizens is just death
That isnt a thing
i do not remember any lobotomization tau stuff
Grossest thing they did was those mock space marines wearing ultramarine armor that were just black sludge inside
thx
Wait
Are you talking about the puretide chip
the one reserved for military commanders
Yeah thats more like a cortana esque thing anyway
Wel time to embrace chaos and continue listening to the first heretic
Basado
Nope. Don't remember the story off the top of my head but there's one about a Tau that makes art on the down low despite not being in the caste for it. And they're absolutely terrified and live in constant fear of it being found. And there's a comment from them about others who break those laws being left less mentally capable than their machines and AI
Did phil kelly write it
Honestly doubt, Phil has shockingly gone to bat for the tau recently
Even saying they csnt be chaos corrupted and such
Basically Tau are just the Imperium on a smaller scale and without the 10s of thousands of years of being screwed as a reasonable excuse for the behavior
I would ask for a citation because we've had the tau talk 100s of times here and Ive never heard of that
^
Trying to find it again
Fuck I can't find it right now on my shitty internet on my phone. I found it before looking up info on the Tau to research for Dark Heresy.
Tau cannot be chaos corrupted
They can
True
Tau are slowly getting the realization that the galaxy is a shithole and theres a reason so many species keep to themselves
Thats also my headcanon as to why they stopped getting meaningful xenos allies
GW, i'd like my check to be mailed directly to my doorstep, ty
They cannot get chaos corrupted cus no souls and they're brainwashed from birth to follow the "collective us" mentality of the greater good. They do not have selfish desires and wants to be exploited
They have souls
They do have souls, and it's mainly that they're a psychically insensitive race
BUT
that is changing
Theyre so small they may aswell not have it
Chaos tau will maybe be a thing in warhammer 100k
Correct, they are very bland as souls, but they still have it, and demons still feel them, they just prefer the humans one
So far theyre good
making chaos tau just to piss people off in tournaments 
Over time they're becoming more psychically attuned, just like humans, and just like the eldar
Not entirely correct, a water caste got possessed once, nurgle seems to getting interest in them, khorne once influenced an entire army...
They are good only because demons have better targets
which book was that?
The moment the better targets are not available anymore the tau are next
Which event?
Black library is filled with innacuracies and made up lore. Its a terrible source of info about anything. If something is not in the codex take it with a mug of salt
The water caste is an old one that cannot remember right now, the nurgle thing is recent and was a short story with startide nexus and the khorne thing was in CSM codex
isn't black library meant to be official lol
Can the T'au fall under the influence of Chaos?

People tend to hype up tau a bit too much imo, it make sense as compensation for all the hate they get, but people should try to be objective on them
Blacl libraty is just individual authors writing stories they wanna tell. It's like comic books

Yeah its the same reason why Abnett's books are referred to as the "Abnettverse"
he takes way too many liberties
ig that makes sense
Like having blanks stopping being blanks... LOL
probably why there's such a difference in...
quality
of the books
I like Abnett a lot, but dammit keep him away from blanks
Although he gave us Bequin...
Now i'm conflicted
Bruh why are the grey knights psykers and not blanks bruh
Because blanks are rare, people who could survive through Astartes transformation are rare, and those two categories hardly overlap. As a result there's not enough blanks compatible with gene-seed in the Galaxy collected by Black Ships to fill even one chapter.
But in reality they have blanks too
Make a chapter of blanks and buckshot them into the eye of terror until they hit something important and kill it with their blank aura
Farsight crisis of faith
But grey knights can become blanks
U answered too quickly my rant was already past the point of no return
Hey, it is not me making the lore ok?
Too late, posted

Not really, they have a device that boosts their pyker bullshit and can work similar to a blank
They practice a lot
But yes, grey knights can become blanks, and we already have simil blank SM with the silent sisterhood
No, they can become blanks
Can daemons even do anything to blanks aside from rarity what stops them from 1 vs infinity'ing chaos daemons ezpz
Sisters of Silence arent even SM
they are just normal women
That is why they are simil
wha-
Iāve heard that grey knights lore has improved as of late
They fact that they can still kill blanks
But I donāt read gray knight lore
š
GK lore sucks
Gray knights are boring af ngl
Grey knights are awful
Their game is fun at least
the armour is cool though
No redemption for them
Itās so fucking over the top
Gray knights more like the ga-
š
š
BTW @rose thorn this is what i was referring to:
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ferrymen
What exactly is bad about teh grey knight lore?
Everything imho
Dont u love that epic 40k exclusive experience of wanting to know something, opening it's mountainous wiki page, reading it, and still not getting anything
Dunno, i felt that at the start for a short time, then no more
Basically
they are the best at everything
got the Emperor's geneseed somehow
nobody can question them
they kill anyone they work with
or just mindwipe them
they are literally mini-custodes
lmao
40k fans when they open the wiki page of a guardsman's underwear and see it has 5 pages worth of lore stretching across 3 books half which contradict eachother ( It clearly shows how deep and well thought out the setting is, Fleshing out even the most minute details )
LOL
this is the same response i give when someone is like
"omg 40k beats every setting"
no

On that i wanna say that they manage to get less hated by custodes too, which hate quite passionately all SM
You forgot to mention that they use panties as helmet too, or was a balaclava?
BTW, i was referring a meme DW
I mean that is pretty funny
I know the exact model ur refering to
Now fucking what
And it is 100% underwear
the reason is "nobody must know what chaos is"
like
okay?
literally half the Imperium fights demons daily lmao
guardsman underwear š š
The wiki pages that describe all the gear issued to guardsmen never once mention cadian pattern whitey tighties

It greatly immerses me in the setting
can we edit that in
Too grimdark for underwear
or do we need permission from the wiki mods
ayo waddup why we talking underwear
ask the mods to add in underwear specifications 

This was clearly an intentional lore detail
guardsman gear is very important

Toilet paper isnt mentioned either but they got the primer so ill let gw off the hook this time around

Im depicting my opposition as a soyjak in my brain as we speak
lmao
Emperor was definitely a virgin
LMAO
Is there any lore to prove me wrong?
40,000 years on no-fap and this will be you
Wait was is he insane now? When he talked though Blueberry boy?
Gulliman I have no clue why I blanked on his name
His mind is....
not well
When he talks with Gman he basically experiences epilepsy overdose and like 5 voices saying different things
rowboat gorrilaman
Robot gorillaman is my favorite synonym cuz its literally what he is
Iād love the idea that if he came back to life and heās a fucking raging lunatic and began just fucking crashing the imperium into the ground
He just needs to respawn already
robust is better
ROBUST GIRLYMAN
Then Gulliman is like āyo dad, can you not?ā
and then they get into an argument or something and the imperium splits
Robot cuz of the power armor. Its what i'd expect a 4 year old who see's a space marine for the first time describing them as
And thatās the only way the emperors should ever return

Disagreeing with me cannot go unpunished
So out of all the primarchs wh has the dumbest lore
Tbh most of them are fine?
imo their motivation for going traitor tend to be the dumbest
"omg dad stole my kill"
or
"omg alien sword"
"im emo, psycho and can see the future"
that too
they are all uniquely dumb in their own way
"also i hate my dad"
Konrad is a piece of shit
To be fair montarious or how ever the fuck you spell green eggs and ham just hates being told what to do
same dude that flayed a girl that was about to commit suicide alive btw lol
real emo moment
LEGIT
Lmao
Where
What legion r u discussing
Night lords
Ah ok
so technically night lords
previous was Mortarion
also known as Morty
who has the Death Guardā¢ļø
Ahhhh thatās how you spell it
š
Morty is good
"da didnt let me save some gladiator so now I hate him and everyone else around me cos I didnt die with him"
Thats like his pet name
Okay to be fair
