No it has a stupid cover
Dont have the money rn but i'll put it on the list
God bless the British ability to brute force a good story out of the goofiest base material
Soulless metal alien men… ok
Hamlet gets randomly kidnapped by pirates… ok
Don't forget the assassination attempt. Absolutely gold
is there any good steel legion books?
Hang on I’ll write 1
Gas mask big coat bang bang ork bad tank
Done hth
I’ve herd some ppl r saying my new book above is the great American novel. I think that’s overstating it tho I admit it’s a fine piece of work
Clad level writing
Average black library writers preamble moment
lol,
I too am hungry for more good books on various Guard regiments tho
We'll enjoy the next retelling of the Seige of Vraks and We'll like it! ((Can't be me, Lowkey PISSED about Krieggers))
The Yarrick books
they explore the steel legion a lot
YESSSS
They are old but still REALLY good
you will get him rise from the low to the spot he was in with the steel legion, very underrated books highly recommend it
so the only one on audible ((yes Sue me)) is Yarrick Imperial Creed, and it was released Last month,
Sooo Good spot or is it in the middle of something
Yarrick: Imperial Creed is a novel by David Annandale, released on April 19, 2014.
Its JUST the beginning of his story
notice how in the cover hes just a "basic" commissar
You can see the following books here
On the lexcanium, the "Yarrick" Series is Started with Chains of Gulgotha,
but thanks for clearing it up
yeah but you know what I mean 
assassinorum: kingmaker
track 33, 30:40
mentions ancient tales dating to the first settlement of the knight world, knights able to pilot themselves (character writes it off as fanciful tales)
lore
:)

ah you were psyker
ah
i can sense rotten eggs
Takes one to know one 
I was online all but 60 sec ago
Also psyker 😂
SO i have a carton of 18 eggs
i crack 17 all directly into the pan
except one
i decide ok this one goes into a bowl
it was fucking rotten
Lightwork, no reaction
Clad be like, assesing eggs
Ah, i thought you were on the Eddie Hall diet 
🚬 maybe i should eggs are cheap rn
idk how or why but theyre cheaper than a month ago
Cheap groceries in hungary?
Sorcery
ikr

Those are rookie numbers
Lefekszem. Jo éjszakát.
neked is 🫡
Aludj jól!
Köszönöm szepen
finished kingmaker
robert rath really wanted to set up a bunch of character series
which book should i listen to now
Middlemarch
shut the fuck up kaggen
Wolf Hall
All of Gotrek & Felix
Madame Bovary
that's not 40k
doesn't matter, it's still among the best Warhammer stories
G&F works well for people not too familiar with the setting
99% of all my audbile library is 40k/HH and G&F is the only Fantasy series and it's one of the best ones I've listened to
G&F good
As I'm going through The Silent King finally, I realised an easy way of knowing if this is before or after Genefather is to check which iteration of Qvo it has. Silent King has 87th iteration where as in The Great Work it's the 87th iteration that dies and becomes the 88th and in Genefather we have 89th iteration
This
Finished Outgunned, looking forward to getting Above and Beyond love characters like lucille von shard
Lmaoooo lets go
yeah the 2 Shorts after it explore her family dynamics a bit
and the 2nd Short sets up the premise for Above and Beyond
The commisar doing a conference call during a battle 
sadly the shorts are unavailable in audiobook form which is how I read these, might find some time to seek them out depending on procrastination
liked that bit, they do a good job in outgunned of making each von shard pretty distinct
even if most of them only get a snippet
Yeah just seek out and read them
they are very much not that long, its why audiobooks dont do them
Yea Starstruck and Own Worst enemy are both pretty short, but you don't realise how essential they are until you're about a third of the way into Above and Beyond
Trial can be skipped though tbh
It's a nice introduction to the character, but Outgunned already does a good job of that
I also realised a slight mistake, in Startruck Esec is referred to as a woman, but in Own Worst Enemy and Above and Beyond it's a man
good to know
Let me get the excerpt from Starstruck
Propagandist Esec is persistent.’
‘Esec? I thought your propagandist’s name was Simlex?’
‘Who?’
‘The one from Bacchus. Used to work with Tobia?’
‘Don’t recall him. Guess he didn’t make an impression,’ she replied flatly.
‘But Esec is pretty good. A parasite, but a broadly beneficial one. She
understands my true value."
the irony of the planet's name and purpose is cartoonish I realised
bacchus the god of wine being its namesake
The name of Shard's plane also translates as "Lying Aunt"
also YEEEE BABY
I TOLD YOU SO

I'm curious about the Esec thing though, was it just a mistake or was Esec supposed to be a woman in an earlier draft of Above and Beyond
Very likely a small mistake, speaking as a homebrew writer myself sometimes they slip through lol
but you can just chalk it up to Shard hiccup-ing and not giving a shit. Shes the type to be like:
"She? You mean he right?"
"Eh same thing."
The Infinite and The Divine but with 2 Ogryns and with an actual gay context when 
Are you trying to tell us something
today i was vacuuming an anti-chinches powder out of it, for real
so only chinches were coming out of it
"OWT ME KITCHEN DONT DROP ME RASHUNS"- TRAY ZIN the infinitely hungry
I am almost done with the Eisenhorn Omnibus and it is kinda funny how his use of sorcery goes:
Book 1: Puritan, but does a stupid by || keeping Pontius ||
Book 2: Uses it as a last resort since everyone thinks he’s a heretic and will not help
Book 3: GOGO GADGET DAEMONHOST!
also the series makes me sad that Cheurbael is a vanilla 4/4 flyer in Magic
peak Inquisition moment
True, I do like how it introduces us to a lot of the people and an Inquisitor who feels likes he’s always in danger since he’s not an OP fighter
Also the Xeno planet is really cool
yeah the investigator is my favorite Inquisitor character type
the ones in huge armor going up to fight demons and shit are so and so
i like em in the middle
2 and 3 just have me at the edge of my seat for all the setups and payoffs (|| important character deaths ||)
I kinda don’t like how overpowered he feels as a fighter by book 3, but he’s also been an inquisitor for almost 200 years at that point so he should be pretty damn strong
Yeah its just usual warhammer tropes mostly, you get used to it after a certain point lol
Also book three has him defecting MF bullets with his force sword which is funny.
He feels like he is not in much danger of dying, but I think it’s fine since it’s offset by the tension of everyone kinda becoming scared of him and you being like “DON’T DO THAT EISENHORN PLEASE”
- everyone else lacks his plot armor which adds to the tension too
Deflecting bullets is honestly pretty reasonable for psyker bullshit
Fair, and his sword is pretty much kinda sentient
I also love how he felt it 100% necessary to honor his deal to give Pontius the robo body
Like, no one would fault you for not honoring it my guy, why’d you give the TERRIFYING, POWERFUL, HERETIC a body?
One of the most basic skills of psykers in the biomancy discipline is called iron arm which turns their body into organic steel
Psychic powers can literally take the shape of anything you want as long as you have ample power for it
Yeah I know it’s possible and makes sense, I just found it funny
It is quite hilarious
That's because warhammer is better doing intrigues instead of open war
Eisenhorn makes me excited for the new Dark Heresy game
🚬 give it another 5-9 years until they finish bequin 3
btw what does Eisy have to do with Dark Heresy game
Bequin 3 is already finished
Abnett said as much
ye i kno
It's just the inquistion vibe i think
Inquisition
theyre waiting for other story lines to progress
which is why im so hyped for it
imagine something this plot defining
We dont really know what they are waiting for
Inquisition? but Eisenhorn is not whole inquisition...
Abnett simply said its the higher-ups at GW putting it on hold for something
whatelse?
wha...
Yeah he is the Senate
it has to reveal something BIG

im not really following im gonna be honest
following what
owelcat games have a story?
you said "they"
No you just stare at a black screen for 90 hours
🫡
i PLAY amazing turn based combat

WOWWOWOW

I gotta check the german prices tmr

We also have 20 Packs

Imma check at Aldi tmr
Hated him on launchday, now addicted to the law
Oh how far you have fallen 
Hold on, didnt you say in tis very Chat yesterday that you played a game with psyker...
Liar liar pants on fire 
no i didnt!!!!
i got mad at the mission board changes
Pretty sure i can scroll back to the text. Might have been in lore channel
Where you pinged another guy like: " dude, i saw you play in game, youre psyker now like me".
You get mad because of a lot 
Ever considered therapy?
oh no
i meant psyker as in psychic not playing psyker
Youre getting into alpha legion level excuses and delusion, buddy 😂
😡 😡 😡 😡
I take the rage Emojis as a no to the therapy lol

Anywhosel, jo éjszakát.
I am hitting the hay harder than will Smith criss Rock at the Oscars
To be fair, he was thinking of a servitor-like body. And then Bure had to go and build the perfect machine.
Pontius is such a schemer I would not trust him with any kind of body
Definitely
is Da Gobbo's Revenge a new book
about orks
wait, no...
in between
what the new one?
or how is it called
Grotsnik da Mad Dok?
asking me? its me who asking
It's out yeah
No idea, I don't deal with physical 40k books 
i dont care about physical or audio, i need just files with text
The ebooks available as far as I can see

No shelf space deteced
Opinion rejected

I do not have the patience for actual reading 
School mustve been fun for you. Were you in the "the Internet wrote my Homework about the book summary for me"- crowd?
Back in my day, we didn't have such luxuries
(Outing my age here)

Back in your day you payed the smart kid to write your summary for you?
I just winged it and accepted my C in English lit
Or did you blackmail it instead lol?
A pass is a pass
Fair enough
So glad i had chill parents who we're like "we'd like you to give your best, but If your best is barely a pass, thats ok, we'll love you anyways "
I legit had classmates that got their allowance based on grades or got told that they were worthless losers If they didnt perform to their parents standards
Brutal but some people may need that
For me that was maths. Couldnt be bothered. Barely got that D+ in my final year but had A's or B's in every other subject so, eh, didnt care
Eh, dont think that what qualifies as emotional abuse is a good motivator for academic achievement.
I was the other way, math is logic, you put in the numbers and got the correct ones if you did it right 
Well, not the worthless losers part
Yeah, i can do that too, but i always wanted to know why the shit worked and how (math theory). And i got told "shut up and memorize how to use and recognize the formulas, you can learn all about the WHY in Uni"... And i took that personally and boycoted that approach to teaching by doing the bare minimum because i am a stubborn and vindictive princess 
I still didn't learn the why in Uni 
Well, neither did i but i studied History, so no surprise here 
But i had to minor in political science and i had to take a statistics course for that and only god knows how i passed that one but i did

And I'm a qualified Engineer, it doesn't matter 
Forgotten how to use 90% of the equations I learned lol
Ah yes, advanced applied arithmatics with no people skills. My dad's one of you 
Electrical engineer to be exact
Same here though. I can write you a historical analysis paper on any historical question given the right sources but i can barely formulate all the rule shit and historical theory i learned in semester 1/2 
I just do it right by instinct/muscle memory
I think my parents would have beaten me with a stick if I had gotten anything below a A-
Tell me youre asian without telling me lol
LOL
look
my parents thought they were being nice
probably
considering my grandparents

I legit love how people think thats a meme too
it isnt 💀
"we're doing this in your best interest" has never been the positive sentence one might think it is lol

well
they didn't say that
they just said they were being kinder then their parents
which yeah they were
💀
I can't really blame them for the environment they grew up in
I don't think my parents were abusive or anything tbh
Yeah, the Generation war criminal is the true hallmark of ethical childrearing lol
So glad we live in modern times 
It should be a crime, thats what its ought to be
I think my grandpa on my moms side might actually be a war criminal
considering his age
My grandparents legit were 💀
Which is why i have cut off all contact with them
I know one of my great grandparents definetly was.... Gramps was stationed in italy...
Well, thats easy for me, im from Germany
yeah
Nothing-e era happen'ede
anyways my grandparents aren't abusive nowadays, aside from my grandma on my moms side
she uh beat me when I was like 12
or 11
💀
Ooof
grandma hasn't lost her touch
and by touch I mean the same switch she used to beat my mother
and her sisters
Always lovely to see family traditions being kept alive by the caring elderly
so did 2 of my cousins earlier on until Taiwan passed a law then Japan lol

Clad they outlawed that shit in the 80s in Germany
"tHe yOuNg gENeRatIonS hAVe beEN tREatEd tO sOfTLy NowADayS. bAcK iN mY DayS....." 💀
back in my days my father woke us up by beating us
actual thing
paraphrased
because the exact translation would sound stupid
also was apparently true my great grandpa did wake his children up by beating them if they weren't awake yet
Jup
My grandfather on my moms side is an alcoholic
My at that time below the age of ten mother asked him politely If he could please stop drinking because she didnt want him to die of alcoholism
He beat her so serverly she couldnt sit for a week
yeah that sounds about right
Bruh
except my great grandparents weren't alcoholic
they just did that shit for the love of the game
God, words cannot convey how much i hate that man
Even the iron warriors hate would pale in comaprison
Oh, he was definetly a coleric. Still is, even in his mid 80s
jeez
Someone was unprepared for the personal traumadump lmao 
Im sorry, i'll stop now
No it’s good. I grew up hating my father.
Now I live in fear that I’m like him.
Because in part like many biologists I’m a genetic determinist about behavior to a far greater degree than I’d be willing to admit in polite company.
I see him in every mistake I make.
And that’s a lot.
You wont. Your fear and your commitment to your values will safeguard you. But i am profoundly sorry you went through that
Yeah but ultimately, every morning you wake up and draw breath, youre you and not your dad. Never forget that.
I really like being a man honestly, and I really like men in so many ways.
But also there’s some kind of potential for evil there esp in family settings.
There’s an uncomfortable familiarity to the thoughts of even some of the most virulent radical anti man feminists.
I don’t feel indignant anymore when I see their stuff. I feel a little sick.
Anyway.
True. All true. But its your story. You decide. Despite all your flaws. Never deny yourself personal agency, no matter the cost
Aight, that's enough sad talk
Chats called bookclub 40k
What do we talk about? Literally anything else.

Although i am sure our turkish overlord would rather read all that than clad yammering about 40k 🫠
Shocking to no one but in reality I’m basically nothing like my Discord bit.
But being a goofball online is a rare outlet and escape from a lot of pain in my actual life.
40K books since I got on a world war kick I’m now listening to double eagle and am enjoy.
Second attempt to get into it. Going better this time.
Double eagle is great
I don't wanna be the "it's just like ace combat" guy, but it is just like ace combat
Same vibes
Yeah I really like the autistic plane talk (sorry Dilara)
Mods will have to tie me down to stop me talking about thunderbolts being fucking thrust vectoring planes
He mentions it so much!
There's a great short story about the Apostles in the Sabbat worlds book
It just like double eagle but distilled into a short story so it feels more impactful
And ofc, my goat, Interceptor City
I fucking love it when planes
"higher, king of the sky, he's flying to fast, yes he's flying to high" 🎵🎶 
I gotta read the various sabbat shorts
They go hard
its so cool to read the start of Ravenor sitting in dim light while listening to rain asmr
...and with a plaid
I wish I could read Ravenor for the first time again
I'll need to take a break from Dan's Inquisition series soon. If I read bodyglove one more time, I might turn into a bloodletter.
V O L U P T U O U S
So far that's been infrequent, maybe three times across four books and more short stories.
Bodyglove is like on every second page.
Something something something skintight bodyglove something something
Skintight, cameo, cooling, warming, psy-immune, padded, armored, every freaking color bodyglove.
Sounds like an erotic batman fanfic
skintight, latex, bodysuit, warm, sweat, smooth, stretchy
How's the Shadowsun book?
Its "okay", id say get Elemental Council instead
its a very universally praised Tau book and just came out like a few months ago
Yeah ive read it and it fucks, made me buy a Combat Patrol which I still haven't assembled
DAMN

yeah in that case may as well get Shadowsun, its not a bad book, just nowhere near as good as Elemental
LMAO
ITS TRUE
Hahahaha
What do you mean the book is about Commander Shadowsun?
Next your gonna tell me the Halo games are about John Halo
Everyone knos the real name of halo man is Jeb
Shadowsun is ok
I'd say it's slightly above average. I enjoyed reading about T'au getting bullied by the death guard
Honestly I didn't expect for ||an Old One|| to appear in a Gaunt's Ghosts chapter
edit: nevermind, the character was ||an Eldar with a nickname of Old One||
What do y'all think would be a good introductory audio book to 40k
for someone new to the setting
Eisenhorn probably
Covers a fair bit of the setting
But there are a bunch of recommended books in the pins
forgot about that. and ya was thinking HH or horus rising but ya
There's this guy in youtube, Warrior Tier, that does a very well made video of Horus Rising on his channel at the moment, not really an audio book, but I think his content is too good to pass up, but thats just me
It's not completely done yet since its done in parts, just so you know, and it kinda focuses on the perspective of the characters more, along with the narrative.
"contrary to popular belief, the Adepta Sororitas doesn't actually require its members to remain celibate, although few find the time to take advantage of the fact"
smh CAIN SLOP
I'm getting near the end of Echose of Eternity
and it's getting insane
One part of a chapter is arkhan land falling back to the sanctum with a skitarus, blood angel thrall, and cybermonkey and it's complete chaos
The next part of that chapter is Kargos of the world eaters tearing through all those people EXCEPT arkhan land
I had to read that part over again like "wait this can't be the same people"
Until i read him crushing the skull of the cybermonkey
😔
it was a brilliant chapter
They killed his monke 😔
Halal 40k
🕋
Since the period for BL to reach out to the open submission entrants ended and I didn't get the email or anything, I decided to drop my submission here if anyone wants to read it
The Sautekh Dynasty’s Phaeron and the hooded king of the Dark Angels circled one another- the two duellists had the other’s undivided attention on the battlefield that Vigilus had become in just a matter of a few hours. The skies above them glowed with streaks of green lightning and various Imper...
dude these chapters
i lowkey was rooting for ka'bandah to meet the goal Khorne set for him
Luv me cain slop, dont care what anybody says those books are very fun and funny
It's why they're funny
Or good
I think the author said he played pretty loose with everything and it makes everything nicer
I can't tell if I don't like salvation's reach, or if I just don't like that Toby Longworth isn't the reader.
Salvation’s reach is good narrator is hard to get used to
Wait why the cry react sales up good
Bro sets herself up 2 b disappointed every year til 2045
I wish that if they were going to need to change narrators, at least have that person listen to a previous book. Or give them samples of the previous narrators versions of the characters and pronunciations.
Dan's gotta write the ending for the scouring series first
Tbh again its already written
It'll dwarf the end and death
A "few" more years
It's alright, i got my copy of above and beyond and ravenor omnibus yesterday
🤷♂️ it's a good average i'd say
I haven't read abnett in while. And Eisenhorn was years ago for me
Anyways, i'm enjoying the last few chapters of outgunned right now
I'll have to rework my tierlist
don't read the sequel, worst mistake of my life
is this bait
no, i genuinely hate it
^^^
I wish something would happen in the first 2/3ds of the book
I mean thats literally the point
the entire book is "theres more under the surface than just another petty war"
id also say just the 1st arc, it very much picks up after it
Uh oh somebody triggered dilara
"triggered" mfer im just talking 
Lol I'm just pulling ya leg
The only reasonable complaint about Above and Beyond is that it's so good that you strained the muscles around your mouth from pogging too much.
LMFAO
It was on this day dilara made me face the wall
id rather blow my own brains out first than do a "face the wall" routine like a dickdiver lobotomite
Lol
nah just be like me, no words grab something really heavy and swing it to their face
most of the jokes feel like the author is trying too hard, the plot leads from nowhere to nowhere, and the only interesting character development involves her blood alcohol percentage
books is ass and you know it
the Horus heresy books are a cool experiment in longform prose storytelling undone by how some of the writers are pretty good and some you're legitimately unsure if they know where the commas in sentences are supposed to go. And they keep having to follow on from one another
Gave me a chuckle
James Cameron Stewart, who does The Warmaster, clearly did this w Toby Longworth. Very similar.
Lmao based
Damn never thot I’d see the day Dilara got trigged
I stop looking at my phone for a few minutes and it has already devolved to clad-tier takes
do we start posting grimdank tier memes now
how dare you lie
bottom line is i did not enjoy the book whatsoever
Name one thing you hate alot about the 40k universe and its fans:
I go first.
Ai generated/voiced lore shorts.
Cheesy, often stolen voicelines in a intellectually dead and artificial voice.... Often only barebones lore with stolen or ai generated images...and always about the same 10 lore segments.
Nothing enrages me more than this combo of laziness, faithless, heartless, soul- and braindead slop. Fire and ashes up all of those who to this. At least lend your 60 sec slop your own voice goshdamnit
People who keep telling me that Magnus did nothing wrong !
Aliens
Mutants
Heretics
… wow I honestly…
On the whole I really like the 40K universe & etc
I literally can’t think of anything particularly hate.
Lmao
I'll say what I like about warhammer instead. I love that people love this setting and specially their favorite factions. I love to see the care that people put in painting their minis, wriring stories, drawing, analysing all these books and so much more. (The ai voices shorts are a plague tho)
Wait Daemonhammer
@tall phoenix that book destroyed the rest of my brain and even though that’s not saying much it’s all I had
But really I think the 40K verse has been handled incredibly well in comparison to just about everything else and I really super like it & think GW and BL have amazing teams.
Including how they ride the line on the Imperium’s morality.
I gotta commend taking such a cool basic character like Coteaz and making him even more boring than he already is, it takes talent
I guess him shooting his interrogator in the head was funny though so could be worse
im telling u theyre gonna reveal something BIG
its gonna be so worth the hype bro trust me just wait 12312 more years
It's ok, I still have to continue my read through the HH and SoT
Which will take a long time because i'm in the mood for 40k stuff recently
I respect your opinion
I agree
Definetly overhyped
I was glad i finished the first omnibus because it meant I could read something else
Cain books arent bad but also every single novel is the same thing.
its kinda why it gets very whatever after a certain point, they are also very outdated lol
They're gonna reveal that Emps actually just got up off the chair about 2 weeks after the heresy and left a prop skeleton from Spirit Halloween in his place.
is it just me or early 40k novels were a lot more focused on guard and non space marine stuff
like eisenhorn, tanith, cain
Marines didn't have many series for them but most one off books were about them
and they don't come up as often because they weren't that great
or at least that's what I think, never bothered to read them 
They are very "corporate" yeah
they have shit like that one big-ass omnibus that is filled with like 50 short stories for a ton of Chapters for example lol
in the marine-world even today you are lucky if your Successors get basically anything
he was twitching at 30k
he prolly healed by 31k and pretended to be a skeleton
tbh i really think they're gonna bring him back and the rest of the plot is gonna be big E trying to merge back with the starchild (fuck mass effect and FUCK starfield 40k was gonna do it first)
Its difficult to give space marines decent depth and varied stories. They kinda lack the human struggle and human individual element, since both are actually midigated/taken out of them to turn them into basically biological killer robots.
Now, looking to the Night Lords trillogy, it is possible to write good or even very good space marines. But it needs a good setup and unique theme or it turns into the same old bolter porn very fast (dont get me wrong, i love bolterporn). However, majority of people like intricate stories with deep and varied themes and relatable characters. Hard to do when your only purpose is a gene modified killing machine that has most of its humanity drilled out of them.
Actually, the interactions between space marines and human elements of the Imperium are probably what makes reading about the inhumanness of the space marines so interesting.
Like the black templar dude (racej i think?) thats supposed to guard Felix the historitor? Those two are utterly hilarious together.
Or when Pedro Kantor has to justify to one of his marines why he goes through the effort of carrying that one woman through the wastelands with them.
Yes
imma be real i think night lords was a bit too humanizing to the night lords
you can not convince me that traitors would actually care about their slaves that much no matter how useful
They very much dont.
Authors have regularly always ignored the "they are slabs of meat personality-wise" to write novels.
Its just a general image given to them in general rulebook material to dehumanize them before just about any other lore thing just contradicts it
That’s ur problem stupid u can’t read an apple it’s a fruit books r made from vegetables
No1 appreciates constructive criticism anymore
A truely ungrateful world. You must be sooo heartbroken....
The thing I hate the most about the 40k universe + its fans?
People like this
lol
Umm actually the most unbelievable thing is how many star systems have planets with breathable atmospheres🤓
Son of a-
there is an interesting consideration about demographic dynamics 100000s of years in the future among a planet-wide empire. like maybe black people really wouldnt exist because humanity would just become a homogenous sludge as a result of a very long time of globalization, but somehow i doubt that's what he means
there wouldn't be that much globalization though. presumably planets would have their own local gene pools which would create new ethnicities
but that's just average twitter bait
Show me extraplanetary migration statistics and then I'll believe you
^
they arrive in colony ships, with the 40k setting
Low level raigebait racism... Wow, is it still 2007?

What a loser 
those colony ships are the entire gene pool of the planet for a while
and who's to say the first colony ships arent sent by terran countries with their own ethnicities? you'd see a planet entirely populated by descendants of albion
Also you are putting more thought into this than more sci-fi writers even tho I agree.
One thing 40k greatly fails at imo is actually exploring more unique human ethnicities that far into the future I think, its kinda something ive been dabbling more in my homebrew sector a bit to actually make them feel a bit more alien. However I entirely get why authors dont wanna bother with this shit because its just kinda too complex of a subject to also delve into which a lot of sci-fi media also just entirely avoids.
But also yes the guy was just being a bigot so 
ok but how about this, the entire population of terra becomes homogenous before colony ships become possible
checkmate, black people disproven
Fortunately my degree is in physics and not whatever this shit is, so I don't have to know
Clearly we must simply aim to be transparent humans
Checkmate solar radiation
"i dont see colour"
wait doesn't that mean people will have their muscles and shit showing
skinless freaks
wait until they learn where the emperor comes from
thats my favorite bit considering the Emperor canonically chooses to be a bronze-skinned anatolian/hittite
its like people who cant accept Jesus probably wasnt a white person lol
god i wish the end and the death depicted him as black for fun
right on the book cover

is there a new book from Alec Worley
and before it gets released GW goes on twitter to say something like:
"the emperor can change his appearance at will 🤫 "
Tbh tolkien was like that too
tho most people including me refer to that as like "being autistic"
since you always focus on poinless but neat shit
since some people enjoy also reading those things
i'll be honest i wouldn't write about the ethnicities not because it's touchy subject but because that would be so much effort for worldbuilding
Tolkien sucked at geographically sensible world building 
what gets me is when a whole planet only has 1 biome
the desert planet
the jungle planet
when a whole planet only has 1 location you can walk around in
is Dredge Runners good
Its very fun
especially since you seem very romantically interested in ratlings and ogryns

This
It’s actually not.
It’s pretty well understood. Melanocytes aren’t complicated cells.
I would because it’s a touchy subject
i said i don't understand it
Average scientist moment
U said it’s complex and it isn’t
White ppl bad Yakub misguided
Wat else do u need 2 kno
It’s the white devil gene
Why did yakub make blonde melanesians
He was drunk that day
my favourite bits in the dawn of fire books is when a primaris marine yaps something at a traitor and he just goes "i was there on terra, boy"
trvth nuke
but the aura is unparalleled
people say space marines were created for warfare and not agriculture, but in just SM2 calgar farmed enough aura to feed a hive city
The geography was distinctly not naturally formed.
yes, very bad joke
what if 40k had product placement like death stranding. guard commanders would be drinking monster energy instead of recaf with nothing else in the world changing
bruh 💀
No because the lore says middle-earth literally turns into modern day earth
so like- 
yea but it was sung into existence and used to be flat until a cool guy tried to invade heaven

is that why the native british people exist
why do you insist on pissing yourself off?
Im not
this is like going
goes to restaurant
sees a skinhead
"Omg why do you do this to yourself"
Mfer i was just walking/looking around
lmao
Good game.
thanks

💀 💀 💀
Death to ai generated slop lore channels.
Fire and brimstone. Ashes and misery
Blood for the blood GOD
True
can you add the disapointed robotgogogirlyman emoji to this server i dont wanna pay for nitro?
no
Lmfao good request
😓
Oh man
I think the fucked up thing about that xkcd comic is im not a geochemist but i do know the formula units for olivines feldspars and quartz
I'm a chemist and I don't
(I was recently trying to figure out how a startup was making nickle magnesium cobalt hydride from peridot, they werent it was peridotite which can contain cobalt in its pyroxene components)
Quartz is easy its just SiO2
Feldspars are aluminosilicates (ratios depend on the cation metal)
Olivines are magnesium/iron silicates
Kaggen gone???
Reduced to dust
Tf
Kaggen was being a bad faither for too long
He cringed too close to the sun
He was doing some well hilarious things you see and well got obliterated into atoms
He went on a very long pro-imperialist, pro-corpo, pro-conquest rant for 3 hours, it was a lot 💀
the elusive based-cringe-based triple combo
I'm gonna ask this here as the other chat is all about monsterfuckery atm
So with this supposed leak on what the terminus decree is, their strategy is:
1000 extra glowy space marines, vs ~10,000 custodes, and maybe 4-8,000 SoS...
Not including the sisters Psi-titans. Or the supposed reborn emperor. Or the horrors that'd be deployed from the shadow crypts. Or the literal angels like sabbat martyr and celestine.
And dante, because he has to be there too i guess.
I dont see this working out great for the boys on silver?
It definitely wouldnt
but also id say dont think too hard about it, if the writers want them to succeed they'd find a way lol
but the same pendulum swings in reverse as well
They'd probably just walk through with a box with the Emperors decree saying "Emperors orders, let us through" and then jump him
based as hell
🚬
this was prolly written 56 years ago
and was leaked by a janitor working at GW clearing the attic
the rogue intern.......
valdor and yellow fist guy once they return will just fuck them up
the yellow fister yes
lukas the trickster or the aeronautica novels which one to revisit
Man I'm not made of money
u see nothing
what if rogal is the king in yellow 
well he DOES wear yellow
i'll finally expose you dexter.
in the next 5 seasons it might actually happen
just you wait
I remember someone told me that in the book Doakes is psychic and that's why he knows Dexter is a killer, but he can't just say that and need to find ways to prove it.
Actually hold on
isnt that in the fucking novel???
YEAH EXACTLY
which ngl makes it even funnier
hes already been revealed 😭
"I'm watching u, creep muthafucka"
Doakes was such a hardass lmao
The "i own you" headbut he got made me lol. Dexter outplayed him soo hard
DUDE HES SUCH A DICKHEAD I love him
like at the start of the series if Dex wasnt a serial killer he legit comes across like a sociopath
lmfao
Why tf did the emperor not warned custards but told this to grey knights
It's the only joke dorn has ever made
He does. He is buzzing with roid rage and self righteousness lmao.
Best headcanon I've seen is that it was malcador who penned it when he was on the throne, it makes pretty much perfect sense that way
me watching Clad for Legion
That smile
I'm not even going to ask for context anymore
legion bad
Terminus decree is another ominous mcmuffin (yes, i know it supposed to mcguffin, dont ruin the Joke) like the lions sword, some writer was bored and on coke when they wrote it, like half the plot lines. Only god knows where this will lead, If anywhere, and If its good...
its straight up fake news+40000 years old
Hence the malcador bit, 10k years and you think it didn't get interpreted by the grey knights to prove their direct connection to the emperor
Some people may picture the writing process at GW/BL as a keen general, sitting deep into the night at a table, devising all the plans, weighing options carefully, shuffling cards and holding brilliant deductive speeches...like Grand Admiral thrawn
We all know in fact though that the only person accurately describing GW/black libraries writing process is a drunk and stoned unemployed divorced mid 40-years old stumbling to the shitter at 3:45 am on a tuesday night, pants already half down ....

What context
Doakes or Legion
if dexter leaned more into being the nerdy guy in the first season he could have gotten doakes fired for harassment
not even a joke, he would have
Doakes actually gets in trouble from how badly he acts towards Dex lmfao
which like, out of context is actually entirely understandable lol
dexter is too scared of giving up the facade though so he acts too tough
Both
- Basically, in Dexter the show the protagonist Dexter is a serial killer working as the mortician scientist forensics guy in the local PD covering up his own murders, he has a "code" where he keeps his instincts down by basically killing awful criminals. Doakes is one of his co-workers whos EXTREMELY sus of him to comedic levels because from our POV he literally has no idea Dexter is a bad guy for most of the show and legit comes off like a sociopath just bullying this meek nerd at the workplace.
Dexter is objectively correct
- For the Legion thing, Clad couldnt go through it for very dumb reasons even though its a perfect okay/fun book. We just give him crap for it because his take sfor HH are very goofy and dumb.
Sorry sorry the spirit of kaggen took over me for a second
😭
he also kills innocent people later on to keep his secret
I know who doakes is I'm concerned with your obsession with him dilara
yeah hes based as hell
I got no obsession his gifs are just super funny, like LOOK AT HIM
Huh uh sure got defensive about that one
(she's about to throw me into the bay)
doakes actor would look like a supermodel without the moustache
Are you joking
i feel like the show made him grow it because he's genuinely too hot
Im not the Bay Harbor Butcher!!!
moustache haters arent allowed here
He looks great with the mustache
this is a turkish channel
the moustache does not compliment his face
that specific moustache he has
also im gay fuck yall
I was gonna say he's just not your type
that doesnt mean you have good taste 😡
But that felt a bit to far
Can't believe dilara gave a full breakdown of the context tho. That's a real homie right there
she didnt even tell you to read the lexicanum for dexter lore
The way he got doakes to beat him after the headbutt from him is still the funniest moment in their dynamic
"i own you"
Ok, calm down John Wayne 
anyone have any Inqusition book suggestions, not Eisenorn series or anything because I've already read all of it
Ravenor?
Or maybe the e book shortstories from the bl Website
should have specifie better
I'll take a look at the contents
Black Library - Search Results https://share.google/3GXp63bgk3UL6NsJv
what the fuck is this, how did I miss this
That short is amazing 100% recommend it
can you spoil it for me /j
jokes aside is it a mcguffin hunt y/n
ACTUALLY
Its a reverse mcguffin hunt
the mcguffin arrives at the intro, the story revolves around whats to be done with it, but otherwise no spoilers

thanks
what in the omnissiah is that
the cover is a servoskull
"good planet"
THE STORY
The controversial Magos Explorator Isonovere Holt returns to Stygies VIII with a mysterious xenos artefact in tow, and the Inquisition in hot pursuit. Holt persuades a former acolyte, tech-adept Thess 4/90, to work with them again – can they reveal the artefact's dark secrets together?
theres literal detroit firefights in its surface!!!
they make the leman russ vanquisher that i like
oh my god wait there were a bunch of admech short stories recently
how tf did I miss these
where do you even obtain these short stories
Blacklibarry website
are they available online
yes
i enjoy mechanicum short stories. it's the best format for the faction
Im sorry to say
most of them are kinda dogshit
lmfao
I read em all 💀
Which ones are good so I can save money
lol
actually I'll just read them all via
alternative sources
and then buy the ones I liked

I am still pissed i cant get flesh and steel as a paperback. I bought the audio but i havent found the time to listen yet
Flesh and steel is a mechanicum crime novel by guy Haley. Have you read that one yet?
Although paperback will be impossible to find i am afraid
yes and I own the paperback
I've read all the warhammer crime novels
Lucky son of a bitch
I am the biggest shill of warhammer crime
I'm not lucky
I just am a massive shill for that series LOL
Ive searched high and low, and i found N O T H I N G
I want his deal.
Your opinion on grim repast?
Its a noir story
very very very descriptive lol
you will either enjoy it or find it mid as hell
and way too wordy
I was captivated by it
We can find pirate books?
Although the best part imho was the reveal that the Captain of the original settler ship is still alive after more than over 10.000 years. Crazy
You can. I cant. And i dont. I am german. RULES MUST BE OBEYED. I buy, i use, i enjoy. In that particular order. No exceptions. what you do i dont care
Don't talk about how to do piracy in this server
or else discord kills us
with hammers
Oh
I read your comment as "we can pirate books"
I see
that's the beauty of the internet, with the appropriate skillset you can find many things
I don't even think the mods would kill us
but Discord itself is pretty
strict on piracy
which is LAME
yes
Maybe, but RULES ARE RULES
no
No. Discord reserves the right to control any server at any time. They can always read all the files and chats.
Read the user agreement
Didnt know they were strict about that
I usually talk about that topic freely
On discord I mean
They are. Especially in the last few days
Id say 80/90 percent of rules on this server are not only Rules because the moderators deemed them prudent and reasonable but ALSO because discord literally forces them too.
That only adds more irony when online crimes are happening and they step in all armed for something like this
Welcome to life
Its horrible
I see
@tall phoenix can I?
No lol
Dm you I mean
If you dont have consent I wont
Only advice i have to not use Mainstream Browsers because they all have blocked those websites
that's ok, fellow TOS abiding user, you can ask me anything
I wont say any more
Is brave included in that list?
I dont know
TOS?
Terms of Service
And did you refer to me?
Yeah its chromium
The only difference of it with google is their interface at the bottom part lol
(A generalisation joke please dont lynch me)
nah thats literally true
Use Firefox as a web browser, 99% it works fine and all flavors of tracker/adblock work
- unfortunately it and its derivates are the only non-chromium web browsers right now
If you re arrange these letters and add .net to the end you will have a map to treasures untold:
y h m f

(please don’t murder me :3)
For added context our German friend here can't do it because they'll know and will charge you a nice hefty few hundred euro fee for doing it
Oh damn
Are there any Radio dramas from 40k?
thanks.
