and he cant close the portal

#

so it envelops the world

sullen bison
#

what a dick !!

storm jungle
#

meanwhile Sigmar and Archaon are still fighting

#

as the world explodes

#

and its all over

slow prawn
#

Also Grimgor gets stupidly powered up

sullen bison
#

i hope the ubersreik 5 all died of old age before that happened

plush mason
real stone
#

no.

sullen bison
#

say it aint so...

vapid tiger
#

I know more

slow prawn
#

The Greenskins and Ogres completely overrun the entire eastern part of the world. Ind, Nippon, Cathay, all of that and more

smoky mauve
storm jungle
#

he was stuck in the realms of chaos at the time

#

also

#

as for the U5 we dont know

real stone
#

Sigmar is a chaos demon confirmed?

#

kek

vapid tiger
#

No no

He was in Valten

Then Valten died

storm jungle
#

We might get an ending at some point in V2

vapid tiger
#

So he possessed the corpse of Karl Franz

storm jungle
#

OH RIGHT yeah

vapid tiger
#

Which transformed to look like sigmar after a hot minute

#

Very weird

vapid tiger
#

So technically the body of sigmar in aos is the body of karl franz transformed into that of a god

sullen bison
#

endtimes makes me so sad because of the ubersreik 5

plush mason
storm jungle
sullen bison
#

I love them so much i dont want them 2 go šŸ’”

alpine ingot
#

my headcannon ending is that the U5 are eternally wandering and bickering as they tear through the chaos wastes without any knowledge of what is going on outside

slow prawn
#

Also Bretonnia was revealed to be just a big hoax by the Wood Elves to keep Chaos and other foes away from Athel Loren, the Lady of the Lake was revealed to be an Elven goddess

storm jungle
#

this is great yeah

#

bretonnia literally just gives up

#

since their entire society was a lie

sullen bison
storm jungle
#

KEK

plush mason
slow prawn
#

And all of this was because the rule bloat made heavy cavalry a nightmare to play with, and Bretonnia’s whole thing is literally heavy cavalry

storm jungle
#

Honestly if Fatshark has mercy the U5 might return in Vermintide 3

plush mason
#

so who or what was the green knight?

storm jungle
#

Vermintide 3 absolutely is gonna take place in Age of Sigmar

#

it makes the most sense

slow prawn
storm jungle
#

Yeee him

#

its his spirit basically

plush mason
#

lol k

#

and the fae chick?

storm jungle
#

Fae enchantress?

#

uhh

#

gonna look it up on 4chan

alpine ingot

#

Also it was super awkward because the current king of Bretonnia, Louen Leoncour, was still alive

storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

GUYS

#

Morgiana le Fay, the Fay Enchantress and daughter of the Lady, was led to a sacrificial altar and bled out over a cauldron alongside Aliathra and Volkmar to summon Nagash's spirit.

slow prawn
#

So he got demoted to being the High Paladin

sullen bison
#

once i found out that warhammer endtimes literally means the END TIMES

cerulean wagon
sullen bison
#

broke down into tears, back against the wall, sliding down

storm jungle
#

but yeah like

#

overall the End Times was literaly chaos on plot armor

#

you can just ignore it

vapid tiger
#

bretonnia fans seething as they throw their custom homebrew cringe templar-cross deus vult paintjob minis at the wall

slow prawn
#

And remember what I said earlier? Grimgor also kills Greasus Goldtooth, and all the ogres just shrug and follow him now

slow prawn
#

Also it’s kind of funny, Grimgor is revealed to be the Avatar of Gork, while Skarsnik was revealed to be the Avatar of Mork

vapid tiger
#

The bad thing is that

plush mason
vapid tiger
#

Skarsnik fucking dies of sadness

storm jungle
#

bro

vapid tiger
#

Because his squig dies

storm jungle
#

skarsnik's death was sad af

slow prawn
#

Was just going to suggest that

plush mason

not gobbler

vapid tiger

yeah

@sullen bison

here, the canon ending

Another thing I kinda liked, Markus Wolfhart killed Taurox the Brass Bull by shooting him in the weak point where he isn’t covered in Bronze

#

if fatshark did like one last mission for vermintide 2 as a sendoff, and it was like Halo Reach's last mission my heart would be fucking shattered

smoky mauve
cerulean wagon
#

we know VT2 has a few more years in it yet according to FS

#

we'll see what send off it gets

vapid tiger
#

I do like nagash in the end times a lot

cerulean wagon
#

the send off for VT1 was amazing

vapid tiger
#

Though I also just

#

Enjoy nagash in general

slow prawn
#

Also there was a cool part I remember reading where Luthor Harkon invades Nehekara

alpine ingot
#

one last bar crawl to end all bar crawls I bet

#

He packed hundreds of years worth of explosive salamander glands onto ships, and used them to blast his way into the river

the final send off

storm jungle

#

Awesome

#

My favourite thing from the end times is how the Phoenix King got fucking merked in his bedroom by Malekith siccing a bloodletter on him and NOBODY NOTICED FOR LIKE THREE YEARS

earnest remnant
#

Yeah the end times is a dumpster fire

barren tapir
#

Hey! Lets not insult dumpster fires putting them close the end times

rigid cloak
#

Ogryns are norf FC confirmed

plush mason
#

so if the lasgun battery packs passively pull heat from the surrounding area to recharge how long does it take them to charge just from a soldier's body heat?

tawdry escarp
#

Forever

plush mason
#

oof

tawdry escarp
#

You can sort of charge them by sticking them in fire but it damages the capacity

plush mason
#

so how are they charged normally?

tawdry escarp
#

with special chargers

#

like plugging in a cell phone battery

plush mason
#

lol

tawdry escarp
#

back when those were removable

#

I imagine it works similar to the battery chargers we have at work for equipment but on a larger scale

plush mason
#

so there is something like a giant battery charger in the barracks where they just charge all the packs?

final spruce
#

Indeed

tawdry escarp
#

Not a hundred percent sure but that seems like the smartest design

final spruce
#

You can also just let the battery pack bathe in sunlight if its strong enough

storm jungle
#

Yeah the heat recharge thing is like for desperate measures

plush mason
#

i see

storm jungle
#

or you are just out in the middle of nowhere

plush mason
#

iirc each trooper caries 3 packs. how many shots is that?

tawdry escarp
#

depends on the pack

#

standard is 50? I think?

#

but they have heavy packs

plush mason
#

so only 150 shots normally?

tawdry escarp
#

Those are usually used by stormtroopers and other elite forces

final spruce
#

The backpacks are used to power the hotshot variants

tawdry escarp
#

yeah

#

Kasrkin have those

final spruce
#

There also exist hotshot laspacks that allows you to fire 1 supercharged hotshot with a normal lasgun or long-las

tawdry escarp
#

It's hell on a normal lasgun though

plush mason
#

i bet

final spruce
#

Exactly what i wrote

#

But laspacks are usually between 50 to 100 shot, most people settling around 60

#

On the lowest power setting too

#

Since lasguns possess 2 to 3 power settings depending of the model

plush mason
#

so most guardsmen dont have a lot of shots to work with

tawdry escarp
#

depends on how good a shot they are

final spruce
#

Keep in mind the lasgun's rof is more similar to a semi auto

#

So you're not firing automatic

plush mason
#

true

final spruce
#

It's like if you had 100 shots on a m1 garand

#

You'd last a while, especially when everybody in your team has one

tawdry escarp
#

If you've got a marksman, 150 to 240 shots will last you awhile

#

las shots are nasty, you usually only need one to down a target

#

depending on armor of course

plush mason
#

i see

#

oh and is it ever said what caliber the autogun is chambered in or does that depend on the model and pattern?

tawdry escarp
#

I'm not sure

#

I know that Bolts are 1.0 caliber

plush mason
#

cause all i know about the autogun is they are just modern day assault rifles in 40k but that doesnt say anything about the caliber of their rounds lol

wind flicker
#

Im here to complain about autoguns rotary mechanism

plush mason
#

rotary?

tawdry escarp
#

Given the kind of threats your average Guardsman deals with, I would say that Autogun rounds are probably bigger than modern day

plush mason
#

same but by how much?

wind flicker
#

10/15mm

tawdry escarp
#

it varies apparently

#

A lot of autoguns are made locally

final spruce
#

Bolters are usually around 0.75 to 0.95 depending of the model

#

Human bolters are usually in a slightly lower caliber like 0.65

#

But sadly those numbers means nothing because the lore was written by british people with poor firearm knowledge

tawdry escarp
#

All you really need to know about Bolters is that they shoot BFB

#

(Big Fucking Bullets)

#

Autoguns shoot smaller bullets

plush mason
plush mason
#

or 37

tawdry escarp
#

that vary depending on location and local manufactory

#

The wiki article didn't give calibers

plush mason
#

oof

final spruce
#

Waht Lexicanum says about the Godwyn Pattern : It fires the standard Astartes .75 calibre bolt

#

The Phobos Pattern Bolter, officially known as the Phobos R/017 Pattern[18g], is closely associated with Mk II ā€˜Crusade’ Armour and is perhaps the most venerable design of the Bolter used by the Adeptus Astartes. This weapon was .70 caliber as opposed to the .75 round most associated with the Bolter today.

tawdry escarp
#

There's a number of different Bolt types

final spruce
#

Yup

#

But now we know bolters are morbing

real stone
#

Brits, the only explanation needed

humble lynx
#

Autoguns also have some variety, but largely are around .32 /.33 calibre. The Urdesh Pattern U90 is an exception at .45 calibre.

Human bolters are largely .75, but older designs varied and could be as small as .50

It’s also not just the Brits fault, ā€œcalibreā€ has been used to mean different things over the past 200 years

tawdry escarp
#

I'm surprised they don't have an absurdly large Ex-calibre round somewhere in 40k

humble lynx
#

I’m sure non-humies have some

#

Heavy Bolter rounds are 1.00 apparently

plush mason
tawdry escarp
#

Only the exceptionally strong or cybernetically augemented

plush mason
#

yeah which is why human bolters are normal .35 to.50 in caliber

humble lynx
#

Non-power armour humans don’t get equipped with Bolters

tawdry escarp
#

still beeg boolet

plush mason
humble lynx
#

Non-handheld bolters are used sure, vehicle weapons and so on

plush mason
#

those are the .35 ones and the SOB use the .50 iirc

humble lynx
#

.35 is not much bigger than an autogun

final spruce
#

I remember them being around 0.65

final spruce
#

Plus humans can fire astartes bolters without breaking their arm, thats a myth

#

Hell some use heavy bolters while being unaugmented

plush mason
#

cause rule of cool

final spruce
#

When rules of cool applies to all big guys, its just a normal rule

plush mason
#

no human can pick up and fire a 25mm cannon (which yes is the real size of a heavy bolter)

latent wigeon
#

if only models were accurate to bullet sizes

plush mason
#

its literally a bushmaster that fires gyro rockets lol

final spruce
#

Exactly, gyros are supposed to have no recoil

latent wigeon
#

if minis are anything to judge normal bolters shoot soda can sized bullets

plush mason
#

ofc said 1st stage wont need nearly as much propellant as a normal round of that size would

#

thats why you see shell casings and the ejection port on bolters

rose thorn

Does Mortarion ever like, before a fight say ā€˜it’s Mortin time.’

Its not on the page tho

#

Oh boy this is gonna be fun

final spruce
#

I mean ima be honest, Nameless , every since he ahs joined, has got 90% of his lore wrong, hell even now when he was wrong about the Astartes bullet size

#

We know its a moot argument because british but come on Nameless

plush mason
#

lol fair

plush mason
final spruce
#

Kudos for acknowledging it

plush mason
#

but yeah if the arbites and the gangers have bolters its safe to say the IG does as well

#

Sergeant Harker can do it. So that's a precedent.

Imperial Guard sergeants, officers, etc can all have bolters as an upgrade option. Not sure of the pattern of these, but if sergeants can be issued them they must be somewhat uncommon rather than rare.

#

but yeah british people with 0 understanding of guns

cerulean wagon
final spruce
#

All arbites are armed with bolters

#

When not with shotties or maces

plush mason
#

as are enforcers it seems

cerulean wagon
#

enforcers are just a local arbites group effectivley

vapid tiger
vapid tiger

#

Also yeah gunnery sergeant harker up there is carrying a heavy bolter like a marine w/o power armor

plush mason
# vapid tiger

yeah those are catachans which iirc are damn near the size of ogryn lol

vapid tiger
#

Fucker is stronger than a marine and it freaks people in-setting out

vapid tiger
#

There's also a character in gaunt's ghosts like that

#

Bragg

plush mason
vapid tiger
#

Who is the heavy weapons guy and lugs around autocannons and whatnot casually

final spruce
cerulean wagon
#

Bragg

plush mason
#

lol

final spruce
#

Then again, Bragg is as tall as a primaris

vapid tiger
#

Again, normal humans are well capable of meeting and even exceeding astartes non-power-armored strength if they are lucky enough, just look at shaq irl

#

It's just that most won't

plush mason
#

size yes. strength and speed no

vapid tiger
#

i mean lugging around heavy bolters and autocannons unaugmented is meeting the strength category

#

Now when the astartes is wearing power armor the marine will easily exceed them strength and speed-wise

plush mason
#

yeah

vapid tiger
#

and there are astartes who are larger than their fellows who make other marines look like wimps

alpine ingot
#

Bragg also crushed a man's skull just by hitting him in the face really hard.

vapid tiger
#

Salamanders for instance are mostly bigger but slower than most marines

alpine ingot
#

I'd say that is another point in the strength category

plush mason
#

this mofo sounds like a gland warrior lol

alpine ingot
#

Nope

#

Just a humble sacra fuelled guardsmen

final spruce
#

He is just a man that is 2.45 meters tall and literally tears off heavy weapons from their sponsors when he goes on missions

"warhammer 40k is a british anime and sometimes anime things happen" i really need to take this to heart lol

And yeah

Well that and Abnett's weird obession with tall people

tanith right?

alpine ingot
#

Yeah

final spruce
#

Yeah

plush mason
#

oh then thats why. all the people of tanith are highlanders lol

alpine ingot
#

I thought Mkoll was supposed to be somewhat shorter then the others

plush mason
#

bragg is just a big highlander lol

final spruce
#

he is yeah

#

But still around as tall as Gaunt that is around 2 meters

#

Dan just loves tall people

plush mason
#

tall sottish people especially it seems lol

final spruce
#

Tall and thin

final spruce
#

But likes, around a quarter of the described folks are still massive

final spruce
alpine ingot

Well, unless they are a flame troopers, then they are a burly bastard

also tbf, as someone from the UK, all my friends are atleast 6ft

#

except like, 2 people

vast frigate
#

Yeah

plush mason
#

i mean the Tanith literally have a bagpiper and kilts iirc

final spruce
#

I can attest for the bagpipes y

plush mason
#

tbf the bagpiper was the only one wearing the kilt that i have seen

#

so giant sottish people aka highlanders

alpine ingot
#

I don't recall Brynn ever wearing a kilt

plush mason
#

i have seen artwork with him in one iirc

#

but that must has just been fan art

#

so yeah no kilts. thankfully

plush mason

What’s that space marine chapter that is just super psychotic and purposely kill civilians? The yellow guys uhhh

plush mason

Yeah that’s it

#

Thank you

plush mason
#

also. Bragg is 8 foot in imperial wtf

vapid tiger
#

Beeg

plush mason
#

funny enough if he does have giantism he is small for it

vapid tiger
#

Iron Hands and their successors will also kill civilians but it's moreso due to not caring about casualties and collateral damage

plush mason
#

also i could break his bones with easy

#

most people could

vapid tiger

Than the outright evil of the marines malevolent

Well actually they're all evil

no we are to stubborn to not die

indigo stream

also true

wind flicker

Its fine, we'll have robot people by the time we nuke ourselves

indigo stream

Correct, but i think itd go about what all animal populations do when our enviroment cant sustain us theyll be a massive MASSIVE dip in population which then regrow over time

Oh lmao

plush mason
#

so do SMs have like field rations or something?

barren tapir
#

Yes, they store them in the backpack

#

And it is like a paste iirc

plush mason
#

makes sense

#

i imagine the guard have a similar ration. completely utilitarian and largely tasteless

wind flicker
#

mmmm, soylent green

plush mason
#

lol

barren tapir
plush mason
#

i mean ofc

#

and even then officers in the field would have to eat what the rest eat lol

#

thats just a reality of military life

final spruce
#

Funnily enough rations for soldiers tend to be good

#

Hell they give you the runs when you're not used to it because of how many nutrients they are inside

#

But it tastes bland and you only got 2 weeks with you initially

indigo stream
#

a well fed army is more likely to kill something before they get mowed down

final spruce
#

But as Silver said, officiers get better food too

plush mason
#

yes but in the draconian imperial guard a utilitarian and bland ration is more expected

#

like the rations in the draconian armies of the early 20th century and back

#

most imperial hives afaik are nothing but giant factory cities that do nothing but pump out unfathomable amounts of pollution not to mention all the mining and deforestation that is done

#

the imperium doesnt give a damn about anything beyond getting its tithe so most hive worlds become unlivable hell scapes as they struggle to meet the demands of the always hungry imperium

#

and as for the real life problem of the environment idfc who is at fault as no one will bother to fix it regardless lol

#

pinning the blame on one group is pointless as ALL humanity for the past 5k years is guilty of the damage done to the enviroment

#

the development of agriculture is what started fucking up the world so no one group or culture or person is to blame

# plush mason most imperial hives afaik are nothing but giant factory cities that do nothing b...

This is more a meme than a reality.
Hives are acrologies. Which by design would actually have very low overall environmental impact, but the pollution that is created would obviously be concentrated within the structure (the underhive) and the immediate surrounding environment. This is something touched on in the Rogue Trader TTRPG. And subtley hinted at in Necromunda.

The widespread pollution/hostile biomes in most cases came before the hives were formed. And said hives were formed to counter act/adapt to the hostile surroundings.

plush mason
#

the ash wastes are formed after the hives afaik

rigid cloak
#

We also see Hives on worlds that have thriving biomes in other stories. Ciaphas Cain for example has a hive world mentioned that is mostly ocean with a thriving fishing industry.

plush mason
#

yeah cause it takes time for the collapse to happen lol

rigid cloak
plush mason
#

and unless those fish are a key part of said world's economy and imperial tithe little will be done to protect them

rigid cloak
plush mason
#

yeah and a lot of hive worlds are overdeveloped and overindustrialized

#

like the hive world with the fishery will likely not become so all due to said fish

rigid cloak
#

Likewise they might of dumped large amounts of fertilizer, iron oxides etc into the ocean to ensure a healthy and active ecosystem despite heavy fishing.

is this a hive world or an agriworld?

Thousands of standard years of intense industrial activity has reduced the surface of Armageddon to barren wastelands and polluted oceans; humans can only survive within the artificial environment of the world's hive cities (the massive arcology-like structures that stand several kilometres tall) and Imperial military facilities.

oh gods that jungle

like why is it like that?

storm jungle

plush mason
#

that doesnt matter lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah was gonna say lol

plush mason
#

Ullanor was 10k years ago

storm jungle
#

Most hive worlds still make massive industrial output and kill the environment.

Yeah but, thats not our point lol

#

at the end of the day a lot of the surface of the planet is still barren and dead

#

so yeah

plush mason
rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

Jesus christ lmao

#

its alive because its an important and named world, so gets a good bit of plot armor

#

that and GW writers dont know how ecology works

plush mason
#

^

storm jungle
#

so again, it doesnt matter

wind flicker
#

realistically, some of the worlds should be lush with some contamination

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

and barren with others

plush mason
storm jungle

rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

It really doesnt

#

they just popped a jungle there because it looks cool lol

plush mason
#

its a setting that works on anime logic more than anything

rigid cloak
#

since 3rd they've been inserting plenty of hard sci-fi concepts for everything that isn't a handwave like psychic abilities and anti-grav

wind flicker
#

its

#

an obfuscated realism

storm jungle
#

its

#

a toy game

wind flicker
#

true

#

like

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

lasguns simultaneously having and not having recoil

#

while externally a dumb writing inconsistency

#

can be turned into an in universe explanation for variations of lasguns

#

some have em, some dont

storm jungle
#

Or you know, just bad writing

#

40k is built to plug in plot holes it makes

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

true, but you can utilize that bad writing for more creative freedom and interesting deviation

storm jungle
#

Kinda

storm jungle
#

some can get too stupid

plush mason
#

hell lasguns being visible red light ends all notion of realism right there

storm jungle
#

lmao

storm jungle
#

get em

storm jungle
#

God

#

lets not get into that

#

call me daniel jackson

storm jungle

Im gonna call you Gordon

I actually own an orange crowbar for self defense

storm jungle
wind flicker
#

not inaccurate

storm jungle
#

like

#

the lasers just being silent

wind flicker
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

and cutting everything

#

its awesome

plush mason
#

yeah thats how a real laser gun would work

storm jungle
#

Yeee its what makes it great

#

with 40k it just goes "pew pew" because its cool

#

real world science doesnt apply to most 40k stuff unless the authors do research

wind flicker
#

rool of cule also is good

storm jungle
#

which majorily they dont

wind flicker
#

so I can parry laser beams with my power sword

storm jungle
#

since i wouldnt either

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

microwave gun yea

storm jungle
#

In 40k, it goes pew pew

wind flicker
#

bebebebebebebebebebe

storm jungle
proper helm
#

I've seen an argument that because they ionize the air around the lasbolt, it'd have a miniature thunderclap when it fires?

storm jungle
#

Yeah but thats like headcannon stuff

#

people are just hung up over lasers without knowing how they work half the time

#

like

#

it doesnt fucking matter lmao

rigid cloak
proper helm
#

It doesn't really matter, I just like having a consistent thing when I'm writing

wind flicker
#

if they ionized the air theyd go pbtbtfb

#

yes

plush mason
#

yeah like someone in this server told me once. dont bother applying real world logic to 40k and you will have a much better time with it

storm jungle
#

Pretty much yeah

wind flicker
#

like the melta gun would 3000% just explode and kill you

proper helm
#

Nah, selectively apply real world logic

#

when it'd be cool

storm jungle
#

Yeah 40k uses realism sparingly

#

it helps setting the mood at times

wind flicker
#

warhammer 40k and realistic population and agriculture numbers

#

what crops do they grow

#

šŸ‘€

storm jungle
#

The answer is yes

plush mason
#

^

wind flicker
#

its very important I have the exact cultivar

storm jungle
#

Lmao

wind flicker
#

so I can get unreasonably angry

proper helm
#

It ranges from ridiculous amounts of normal food, to giant oceans of algae that giant ships trawl through ceaselessly

storm jungle
#

Yeee

wind flicker
#

mmm

storm jungle
#

authors only give specific numbers in big wars

wind flicker
#

seaweed....

storm jungle
#

thats the ones people get mad at

rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

you cant

#

it changes from planet to planet

#

theres like

wind flicker
#

the emperor has 3 emperor things

storm jungle
#

no "default" or predictable output

plush mason
#

i mean arent their whole worlds that are just potatoe farms lol

rigid cloak
rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

basically in the end its just "food"

wind flicker
#

specifically the housing

storm jungle
#

so anything from random sci-fi food-stuff to actual things we got today

wind flicker
#

at least the one used in the sororitas game

#

it would backblast spray you

#

if it was contained at all

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

the tabletop version is less egregious

#

I loved it but Im like

gloomy phoenix
wind flicker
#

a vr fanatic

#

ok so

wind flicker
#

the game has 1 difficulty setting

#

if you're cracked, you can just headshot every enemy in the encounter 20 seconds in

#

and now the encounters over

storm jungle
#

I know what Ramzy is talking about, its from uhhh a GSC codex

#

where they infect an agriworld using that method

wind flicker
#

so you can force throw boxes into the heavy targets to crush them, toss a nade to the crowd, lasgun blast snipers

#

etc

#

its fun

storm jungle
#

and also smuggle genestealers into the animals since its so big

plush mason
#

and thats not to mention the corpse starch stuff a lot of the hiveworlds use lol

rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

but almost every hive world is shit so corpsefood is normal

wind flicker
#

I cant find any pictures of the weapons it just brings up fortnite

proper helm
#

What weapon?

storm jungle
#

Melta

#

its a beam weapon but SM2 made it into a shotgun

gloomy phoenix
lyric ember
storm jungle
#

and people always mix it up

plush mason
#

yeah their food situation must be horrid if they have resorted to industrial cannibalism lol

wind flicker
#

dear lord Im gonna have to boot up the game just to take a picture

storm jungle
#

owned

wind flicker
#

heres a picture of the game btw

#

if the textures/shadows dont put you off

storm jungle

That 40k boomer shooter coming out had it be a shotgun

????

slow prawn
storm jungle
#

very cool

wind flicker
storm jungle
#

but yeah the melta is majorily shown as a beam weapon

wind flicker
#

also if you use two plasma swords you can use them like scissors

#

yeah it should be a beam

#

shotgun is weird

storm jungle
#

yeee

#

like

#

I get why SM2 did it

#

you are fighting horde enemies

wind flicker
storm jungle
#

a focus weapon would be jank

wind flicker
#

also the enemies are dumb

#

they will run into you single file

storm jungle
#

LOL

wind flicker
#

and get headshot

#

WHICH IS LORE ACCURATE

#

but its still like

#

huh

#

hold sword out at head height

#

decap soundx3

storm jungle
#

God that game is so bad

#

it lost me at like

#

the rock-em-sock-em knights

wind flicker
#

best part of the game

#

ur cute

#

and u bully space marines for being bulky

storm jungle
#

god i wish their armor wasnt looking like

#

skintight

#

but hey im not complaining

wind flicker
#

its studded leather innit

storm jungle
#

All sororitas armor is metal

rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

but uh

rigid cloak
#

it would be subject to inverse square law

storm jungle
#

i guess the designers didnt get their cue

wind flicker
rigid cloak
#

so it would function like a shotgun

wind flicker
#

tbh

rigid cloak
#

an IRL Super shotgun

wind flicker
#

sororitas battle sister is rly cool

storm jungle
#

I mean again

wind flicker
storm jungle
#

it doesnt matter

wind flicker
#

the lasgun has no recoil

#

so you can just

rigid cloak
#

shotguns are much tigher spread than irl

storm jungle
#

the lore shows it acts like a beam weapon

#

it will be a beam weapon

wind flicker
#

spam the whole mag on a chaos space marine head in half a second

storm jungle
#

nothing beyond it

wind flicker
#

and they die

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

bolter has some recoil

storm jungle
#

To be fair,

wind flicker
#

all the guns are SUPER controllable

storm jungle
#

does any VR game got recoil?

#

yeah recoil would make the gameplay janky

#

most VR shooters remove that a lot

wind flicker
rigid cloak
#

which would solve this

wind flicker
#

I also adjusted the game to my height

storm jungle
#

rip

wind flicker
#

was funi

rigid cloak
wind flicker
#

30

#

I think the heavy bolter has 20

#

hasgun is 20

#

pistol is 10/15 idr

#

melta is

5?

storm jungle

rigid cloak

its a giant plasma arc welder

I wanna paint it absurd colors and put stickers on it

uhhh

I liked the lasgun sights in bs

The sights they showed in the trailers were very gothic looking

wind flicker

does anyone have the eccliast hammerjob pose image

storm jungle

they had arches

#

wind flicker

many headshots

#

so how did the survivors of cadia get off of it? where they evacuating as the black fort fell?

storm jungle
#

Basically

#

the moment the Fortress met the planet the continents started to crack

#

that was when the evacuation order was given and everyone was told to GTFO and get to the ships

#

the Cadia Stands book covers this really well, theres one scene where as the guardsmen are being hauled onto a transport one of the commissars shoots a guardsman in the head for leaving his lasgun behind to help out a wounded comrade

#

||He gets beaten to death by other guardsmen later when they get onboard the valkyrie||

plush mason
#

"the planet broke before the guard did"

storm jungle
#

Yeh

#

Some guardsman were left behind and still fought as the planet cracked but it was basically lost at that point.

#

Chaos was pretty much winning either way, Abaddon just speedrunned it

#

After that the Cadians basically went off to wherever. They were also given their own barren worlds to settle down on and repopulate after naming them Cadia-1 or Cadia-10 etc with a number

#

Some other cadian guard refugees were taken in by forgeworlds and turned into slave labor/servitors lol

plush mason
#

oof

#

typical admech lol

storm jungle
#

Yep lol

#

But yeah the cadians are still around, their homeworld is just gone

smoky mauve
storm jungle
#

Lmao yep

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Oh no that was because the models were old as FUCK

#

Models are made first and lore is written later

plush mason
#

i see

storm jungle
#

Yeah its why random shit like uh

#

Primaris ATVs or Sisters of Battle walkers exist

#

they are made for tabletop first and foremost

plush mason
#

btw are the cadians really the standard template of most of the regiments?

storm jungle
#

Kind of?

#

Its again a clash of lore and IRL stuff

#

Cadians are mostly used as a model base for other armies by players since they are the most basic guard unit to paint

#

But the lore says that the cadian template gets copy pasted by other planets a lot to match them since their combat effectiveness is so good

#

so its a mix of both

plush mason
#

so the "real" cadians are a more elite force kinda?

storm jungle
#

Yeah

#

its a bit like IRL country armies copying each other?

#

cadians tend to be the "default" look

smoky mauve
#

"Real" Cadians were born or raised on CAdia and its systems. Otherwise they're sparkling guardsmen

storm jungle
#

^

#

that too yeah

#

The last guard codex also says that the guardsmen bang a lot during long galactic voyages to make kids

#

so go figure lol

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Yeaaah its literally that

plush mason
#

like iirc most ships have crews that havent left the ship in generations lol

storm jungle
#

Yeaaah

#

though like

smoky mauve
#

Yeee[

storm jungle
#

with guardsmen its just

#

"its gonna take awhile lets make kids"

smoky mauve
#

Rogue TRader RPG from FFG kiiinda said the same

storm jungle
#

voidsmen in comparison are just stuck in their lower chambers

plush mason
#

thats also kinda true to life lol. not much to do in the navy on long trips lol

smoky mauve
storm jungle
#

Also yeah

#

humans always fuck

wind flicker
#

Do you think guardsmen have a list of approved non chaos kinks

storm jungle
#

Chaos kinks would just be common hedonism

#

so probably

Detailed in the Imperial Guardsman Handbook under Approved Sexual Practices

I summon slaanesh when I roast potatos

#

You can't have sex for fun, only for the glory of the Imperium and the God Emperor

plush mason

#

Missionary sex for procreation only while praising the emperor

its the reason why slaanesh is so rampant in the noble/elite

If slaanesh is so bad, why are they cute

Oh, the retconnected the SoS bolters being of the same calibre of the SM ones... LOL, GW never change, cannot leave something good standing

i saw that as soon as i opened

Logistically this makes sense anyway

storm jungle
#

God

#

dont bring logistics into this

#

lmao

rigid cloak
#

Plus I pretty certain it’s not a retcon, I don’t remember there being a source saying ā€˜human scale’ bolters had smaller calibres

storm jungle
#

The Imperium has infinite resources until the plot demands otherwise, there is no logistic reasons for anything.

rigid cloak
#

I’m sure it’s like the constantin beat Horus thing, it’s an internet spawn thing

barren tapir
# molten sequoia Why is this a problem?

Because it was something unique to them, SoS were capable to face SM way better than any other fighting force, this awful retcon make the SoS less unique and diminish their role

rigid cloak
storm jungle
#

same shit

storm jungle
#

they really need a boost

barren tapir
#

Like, SoS are the only one other faction that is given free entrance and movement in the imperial palace, they were the left hand of big E, big E gave them access to the best tech he could, nearly on the same level of the custodes

storm jungle
#

yeah but

#

they are femalesā„¢ļø

#

🤢

#

and BL writers cant write them for jack

barren tapir
#

The SoS bolters being the only human used pattern with SM ammo made them stand out, and also explain why they were so highly trusted and equipped, now it is not that anymore because one guy seems didn't read already established lore about them

storm jungle
#

eh just ignore it

#

thats the general consensus with most silly edits like that

barren tapir
#

Oh, i will, this is absolute shit

#

All the excerpt i read about how they fought word bearers is simply shit

#

Clearly plot driven

storm jungle
#

Oh my god wait

#

are you talking about Throne of Light

barren tapir
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

ugh fuck

#

yeah that scene is awful

#

they go down like chumps lmao

rigid cloak
#

I’m don’t remember there being any lore stating SoS or anyone else’s using a differing bolt calibre than the standard .75ā€

barren tapir
#

Not only that, but word bearers are know to be linked to the warp, even the lowest SM... And yet they don't feel any discomfort from standing near SoS, you know, the same people that create discomfort in even low psychic power humans

storm jungle

but blank

#

they had those bullshit chimeras or whatever

clearly much superior

were there any legions (beside world eaters and probably iron warriors) that didnt like their primarch?

storm jungle

they all loved their dads

#

Curze comes close but its more that he hated his Legion, his Marines still hilariously enough admired him.

alpine ingot
#

Didn't some of his more sane sons feel like it was more on them for failing to meet their fathers standards or something akin to that, rather than hating Curze

storm jungle

Like I said they admired him more than hated him

What you said is more close to Angron

that was to the point that they had the butcher's nails implanted into their heads
