saw a couple on my latest one, they were blue and shot across close to the horizon

[spring quarry]

[sacred tapir]

HERESY!

im calling the democracy officer, you stay put

[bleak patrol]

So it's a Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer and an Imperial Death Star

I'm fine with the Star Destroyer, but I will report you to the Democracy Officer for the Death Star

Nothing said that helldivers are intelligent, only belligerent to the enemies of democracy

[hasty sandal]

all ill say is that helldivers gain +100 IQ whenever it comes to fighting bots

nuff said

[plain bough]

true, can't afford to be retarded on the front where everything has a gun

[hasty sandal]

[bleak patrol]

Man, that would put them at around 69 IQ

How about I throw her in the fucking hellpod and I get to twiddle my thumbs back on the ship. IM IN COMMAND OF MY LIBERTY FORSAKEN SUPER DESTROYER WHY CANT I JUST DO THAT?

This is old sorry for the ping

[pale hollow]

Yeah! If she wants those samples sooo fucking bad then she can simply hop on inside one of the four loaded hellpods and make the most important decision of her life.
I'm sure the hunters will appreciate the food.

I wonder if shrapnel is good for their health?

[loud bison]

Gas mines

[plain bough]

Children hospital part 2: electric boogaloo

[hasty sandal]

[eager cliff]

Fuck the gas mines

[bleak patrol]

Gas mines?

Don't mind if I do

[spring quarry]

gas mines on automatons

[spring quarry]

ok.

[bleak patrol]

They work

At least they should

If the gas is the same as the orbital one, then it's corrosive

(but people can't read)

The real reason as to why gas is not advised for automatons is the fact that they don't rely on swarm tactics, unlike the other two factions

You will encounter less bots on D10 than bugs or squids on D5

[hasty sandal]

how should I feel if I accidentally set of a teammate's portable hellbomb in an attempt you use supply pack on them

If they abandon Charbal, we can win back Charon Prime by numbers and %

[hasty sandal]

we should gambit charbal anyway

judging by the timings

[plain bough]

[hasty sandal]

[plain bough]

what kind of crack are we receiving

[hasty sandal]

this happened

and seems to have left an after effect

[plain bough]

Well regardless, Eagle Storm should be active soon and if they're doing another invasion we can hold off till MO finishes

yall ever wish we could have a mini mech that is very tough, but melee only?

hmmm wonder whats going on down there?

[sharp kindle]

imagine they add a pack for atmospheric armors and its fighting on the destroyed remains of angels

[sacred tapir]

i mean, if its in the style of the 40k power armor...

there was armor that can be worn by soldiers that arent genhanced

not nearly as common but it would be more real than having astartesdivers

i just think its cool

[sharp kindle]

nah you can find open space combat gear for humans too

[sacred tapir]

and im obsessed with warhammer

[sacred tapir]

BUT WARHAMMER

PLEASE

[sharp kindle]

its not just space marines in sapce

[sacred tapir]

ok but youre telling me that you DONT want to see mark viii errant power armor?

in 40k

[sacred tapir]

icky

its not the errant

so garbage

although the mark x model is good

i just feel like bulky suits make more sense

space suits are pressurized

so a hole being in it would kill you

so an armored suit makes sense

[sacred tapir]

i feel like you should get 3 mechs per mission

2 is never enough

[heavy sinew]

bro (ranged build) when me (a melee build) pummels enemy thinking its dead but I left him on 1hp

[latent zodiac]

i think if they add power armor or some sort of super-human type deal like an astartes, it doesn't take too much after warhammer, because then GW will throw a cease and desist or some dumb shit

[heavy sinew]

GW when they realize fallout has bulky giant power armors too :

[latent zodiac]

yeah, but the whole "genetically altered superhumans in power armor" is a halo and warhammer thing primarily, and GWs legal team would 100% pull some shit if it even seems close enough in design

oh, also the barakan from mourningstar

but they wouldn't sue anyone over dumb shit like that
neither could they

[sacred tapir]

Unless its in cross over fashion

And they get a license for it

[hasty sandal]

just realized the MO is a choice

so glad arrowhead made an entire community have to "choose" despite there being no way for us to collectively decide anything other than the DSS

[plain bough]

We should be able to do both again

but I doubt the capability of strategy with people

[craggy cradle]

PLEASE VOTE FOR THE DSS TO MOVE TO VOG-SOJOTH

we can dss gambit the attack if we move it there with orbital blockade

[hasty sandal]

fun idea but very much doubt its gonna actually happen

[plain bough]

the defense campaign seems to be only originating from sojoth

[hasty sandal]

gambits are few and far between, getting the majority to vote for a specific planet is already difficult enough

love the idea but arrowhead themselves would have to encourage it themselves since you can only convince so many people

[plain bough]

We'll see what happens in a few hours

[hasty sandal]

if claorell is lost, heavy ordinance should at least help us get it back

[hasty sandal]

[plain bough]

We can only either pull off Illuminate Invasions or Claorell now

Most likely Claorell

[hasty sandal]

imo i'd prefer doing illuminate invasions

I feel the meridian singularity is a bit more of an immediate threat than the automatons having more resources

then again, the automatons could just cook up a meridian-type big problem for us later via the forge

[plain bough]

Probably if they kept Claorell it gives em an excuse to make another brigade type enemy

But good luck convincing people to abandon the planet for illuminate

[hasty sandal]

surely us winning the automaton part of the MO won’t cause the faction to not be fightable after

[bleak patrol]

The issue with smart moves is that it's the community as a whole that is making decisions, and I think that we all can agree that "smart" is not a valid description of these guys

[sacred tapir]

NAH LEVER ACTION RIFLE??

THIS IS THE BEST SHIT IN AGES

hope its at minimum medium

and does at least 250 damage

any less and thats a fucking scam

im gonna go grind out the SC for this

as a solo... because im lonely rn, buddy is at work

[bleak patrol]

Why at least 250

I understand medium pen, but why above 250 damage

[sacred tapir]

dilligence has like 240

the CS one

[bleak patrol]

No

It has 200

[sacred tapir]

oh wah still

it makes any other weapon useless in that category

[bleak patrol]

So it has to have more than that in order to balance the (probably) slower fire rate

[sacred tapir]

if it has any less than 250, you might as well use DCS

because i can shoot 2 DCS rounds and get 400 damage

see that always applies, but if this thing has constitution or higher rof

it will be decent enough

[bleak patrol]

The thing is that at those numbers (~200), higher damage doesn't really change that much

For example, Counter Sniper can one tap Berserkers and Devastators, but so can the regular Dilligence

The difference is that using the CS is less punishing due to the medium penetration, so even if you miss the headshot on the Devas, you still deal damage

(it can also kill scouts with dick shots)

[hasty sandal]

it better have more durable damage tho

[bleak patrol]

Let's assume that both CS and Deadeye have the same stats, but one uses mags and the other had round reloads

I'd pick the Deadeye then, because I prefer round reloads

But some people may prefer to replace the whole mag at once

(the only reason why I don't use the Constitution instead of the CS is because it doesn't have a scope, and I'm blind)

[hasty sandal]

chat can someone please explain what the purpose of orbital blockade is

other than to give us free hellpod space

[plain bough]

It's supposed to block planets from supplying their invasion force, doesn't seem to work rn

[hasty sandal]

i've only ever seen it cock block the jet brigade that one time

[bleak patrol]

The purpose is to make the community think they are smart by using it 15m before the DSS moves to some random shithole

okay, none of that matters. We'll be space cowboys soon

[sacred tapir]

but this shit is ass

the fire bots are not even fun, its just stims and diving the whole match

at least the eruptor is heavy pen now

but i still think the dominator should be too

because then i could actually have a bolter, rather than the "bolter at home"

[sharp kindle]

bots havent been chill to run for a while now

[sacred tapir]

i used to like fighting them

and i hate bugs

and absolutely hate illuminate

[sharp kindle]

i like bugs and squids more than bots

bots are just ass

far too much ranged projection going on

[sacred tapir]

because its inconsistent and kinda annoying, its either: A. illuminate is easy. or B. illuminate curb stomp your ass with too much shit at once

bugs is obviously gonna be swarm enemies

and i can deal with it

but illuminate sucks

[bleak patrol]

I dunno, they were always chill to me

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

You just dislike bots Sparter

Is all

And you try to play it as "they were always ass"

[sharp kindle]

idk im not a fan of being suppressed 24/7

[bleak patrol]

Just kill them

It's not that hard

[sharp kindle]

if this wasnt true
we wouldnt lose bot globals

[bleak patrol]

They can't suppress you when they are dead

We lose bot MOs because people don't like fighting them for some reason

They are literally the easiest ones to fight

Like, I don't know what to say

Shoot them before they shoot you

Shrimple as

Or shoot them after they shot you because the chances of you dying from one or even a few shots are minimal

[sharp kindle]

because they are ass

squids are more balanced

[bleak patrol]

Skill issue

I don't have anything else to say to you

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

Ignore me all you want, but that's the truth

[sacred tapir]

for you maybe, i often end up with one of them just deciding to activate aimbot for 2 seconds of its life

99% of the time its ok

no problem, theyre inaccurate and simple

then the other 1% is just the mg raider turns on aimbot, 3 shots me, then when i come back for my shit hes back to regular shitter mode

why the fuck?

[bleak patrol]

I get shot by bots often
I just shrug it off an use the hits as a target designation instead

Also, from my experience, all ranged enemies have that sudden aimbot moment

It's just the easiest to notice on bots because, well...

They are like, mostly ranged

[sacred tapir]

target designation doesnt help when youre fucking dead

[bleak patrol]

Well, I'm not fucking dead

[sacred tapir]

although i havent been playing, ive been dumping hours into dying light and battlefield

thats my excuse

havent played in over a month, i return and everything is on fire

what the fuck is going on

[bleak patrol]

I think I've been hit by everything the bots have to shoot me with and survived all of it

[sacred tapir]

no you havent, at least not directly (unless you mean you survived it through a 50/50)

[bleak patrol]

Yes I did

[sacred tapir]

because cannons one shot unless DD saves you

[bleak patrol]

And I don't use 50/50 armor

[sacred tapir]

well then it wasnt in the torso, unless it was heavy armor?

[bleak patrol]

I've been hit by cannons on multiple occassions and survived

I always wear heavy for bots

[sacred tapir]

i dont think even heavy can save you from a direct hit

[bleak patrol]

Heavy explosive resistance

[sacred tapir]

ok, so you are a brick of tungsten

[bleak patrol]

I did survive being directly hit by a cannon

[sacred tapir]

i hate being fat and slow

[bleak patrol]

Granted it doesn't always happen

But I did survive a couple

[sacred tapir]

i think it depends on if you got vitality

[bleak patrol]

Also, ballistic shield eats stuff

[sacred tapir]

if you have vitality, heavy and the explosive passive in one

[bleak patrol]

I don't use vitality

[sacred tapir]

should be harder to kill

[sacred tapir]

you solo?

[bleak patrol]

Yes

[sacred tapir]

lvl 10?

[bleak patrol]

~60

[sacred tapir]

no i mean the diff

[bleak patrol]

Oh, you mean difficulty

[sacred tapir]

yeah

[bleak patrol]

It doesn't really matter

Enemies don't deal more damage higher up

[sacred tapir]

i mean i get retards when i play lvl 7 or lower

[sacred tapir]

i know

[bleak patrol]

I mostly play on 7-8

[sacred tapir]

but i asked because i wanted to know

[sacred tapir]

i play with people, i prefer to

but the thing is, its when you get the useless idiots

[bleak patrol]

On bot front, I can solo all difficulties

[sacred tapir]

thats when it sucks

[bleak patrol]

I just don't like going above 8

[sacred tapir]

i cant, i never know what the fuck to use

i like to use railgun

but its not the best for 10

[bleak patrol]

My bot loadout is almost always the same

[sacred tapir]

since 10 has so many heavies you kinda need it to be able to take them out efficiently

i feel caseoh might be good

never use it

i prefer dif 8, it weeds some dumbasses out, and its not too easy

[bleak patrol]

CS, Verdict / Spear / thermite nades / RR + Heavy Explosive Resistance and either Hellpod Space Optimizartion for more dakka or stamina for... being able to fucking move in that suit

[sacred tapir]

yeah, id take senator

but otherwise yeah

[bleak patrol]

I shit you not, dropping on hot planets is ass

But the suit protects me from random bullshit

[sacred tapir]

also eruptor being heavy pen is cool, i just wish it had more projectile damage

it doesnt do much to anything bigger than devis

[bleak patrol]

Eruptor is my go to weapon if I actually drop with someone

But I never play with randoms

[sacred tapir]

yeah i do

[bleak patrol]

I don't trust randoms
Never did. In any games

[sacred tapir]

i find its an issue when one of the idiots keep taking the ammo crates

at the pois

i dont trust them

i just let them in my lobbies

[bleak patrol]

So I only play with friends / people I know

aka. people from this server

[sacred tapir]

they do something stupid and they get a kick

i have like no tolerance for tomfoolery with randoms

[bleak patrol]

And I take the Eruptor not because it's good
But because I'm an agent of chaos and I will cause some shenanigans to happen

[sacred tapir]

i deal with randoms purely for the sake of extra meatbags

[bleak patrol]

No, I don't teamkill people (on purpose)
I just cause stuff to happen by just existing

[sacred tapir]

i dont teamkill

i just mean if they take clusters and barrages

i kick them

[bleak patrol]

Why tho

[sacred tapir]

if its just the teamkilling loadout 9000

theyre out

[bleak patrol]

Clusters and barrages are fine

I use them

[sacred tapir]

because randoms almost always tk with them

yeah but you dont have some random fucking gremlin

on your team

trying to turn you into tomato soup

[bleak patrol]

No, because I'm the gremlin

[sacred tapir]

exactly

not an issue for a solo

solo gremlin*

but for a person in a group, that gremlin is the worst thing ever

[bleak patrol]

Speaking of being a gremlin

My favourite loadout is the bug one

[sacred tapir]

because randoms are only in my games because my friends arent on

my favorite bug loadout is...

shit idk

[bleak patrol]

Flamethrower / flame shotgun + flamethrower + incendiary + flamethrower + all the fire stuff I can get

[sacred tapir]

whatever i want to use

fire is a good choice

it does it all

titans included ofc

[bleak patrol]

Bugs don't deserve anything else but to be burned

[sacred tapir]

although with randoms most people are bringing the whole armory worth of AT

because apparently people still worry about tanks

even though theyre literally easier than the fucking hunters and stalkers

i bring fire to deny stalkers and hunters the ability to exist

[bleak patrol]

Titans and Impalers are a nuisance and Chargers are a nuisance that additionally is faster than you

[sacred tapir]

stalker? cant go invisible if youre on fucking fire, hunter? cant get behind me if behind me is on fucking fire

see the trend?

[sacred tapir]

i mean i bring a jump pack

so they are a non issue

[bleak patrol]

I don't really worry about hunters

[sacred tapir]

but even without it they are a non issue

[sacred tapir]

good for you

but istg they always find a way

for me

idk im not good at this game

[bleak patrol]

My awareness is good enough to know where they are even if I can't see them

[sacred tapir]

im just able to keep up with dif 8-9

10 is too much

[bleak patrol]

Bugs don't know how to stfu

[sacred tapir]

yeah i know, but i easily get too distracted by burning them alive

im having fun and they are ruining it

XD

[bleak patrol]

I don't mind it when the hunters do get close to me

Because then I can just punch them

[sacred tapir]

disposal unit is playing, ive got fire, so im busy

[bleak patrol]

I know the exact timing of the quick melee to stagger them during their pounce attacks before they hit me

[sacred tapir]

so i usually rely on a friend (real friend not randoms) to keep my back clear

but with randoms i can only expect them to run off and die

or so something equally stupid

[bleak patrol]

My favourite weapon for bugs is a car

[sacred tapir]

nerd

imagine knowing timing

and not just shooting them with the bushwhacker

[bleak patrol]

It's called practice

[sacred tapir]

because its funny

[bleak patrol]

Beating them at their own game (melee combat) is more disrespectful

[sacred tapir]

they go flying afterwards

[sacred tapir]

but they dont really go flying

[bleak patrol]

Doesn't matter

[sacred tapir]

it does

[bleak patrol]

Doesn't for me

[sacred tapir]

flying directly correlates to fun

in my ape brain

[bleak patrol]

My brain only needs one thing
Corpses

[sacred tapir]

them going nyoom is important

those are a bonus, but that corpse is 3 miles away

and still going

and its funny

[bleak patrol]

I need corpses
I need to be covered in E-710 when the mission is over

[sacred tapir]

that happens naturally for me

the shotgun kinda either tosses them or liquifies them

so either they go flying or you get drenched

[bleak patrol]

I get drenched faster when I cave their insect skulls in with my bare fists

[sacred tapir]

gun

bare gun

[bleak patrol]

(if you can't tell yet, I hate the bugs)

[sacred tapir]

use le hatchet

or baton and roleplay the average LA police officer

[bleak patrol]

The god gave me two arms to rip and tear the bugs

And democracy gave me all the arsenal I need to ensure the maximum destruction of the alien scum

[bleak patrol]

Ironically, the hatchet is not very good

[sacred tapir]

its not

spear is better in all ways

except speed

[bleak patrol]

It deals more damage than the stun weapons, but doesn't stun

[sacred tapir]

spear and hatchet deal same actually

[bleak patrol]

Also, baton is better for bugs due to better AoE

[sacred tapir]

difference is one is pokey

[bleak patrol]

Range is optional

[sacred tapir]

other is AoE

[bleak patrol]

Spear works better on bots

It allows for easier access to their stupid little metallic heads

[sacred tapir]

yeah

its like poking someone in the eye with a comically large toothpick

that has an electrified needle on the end

[bleak patrol]

The spear counters berserkers hard, which is funny to me

Here we have a bot which is fairly agile and has not one, but two chainsaws
And here - spicy stick

[plain bough]

This update has alot more buggy player characters

[spring quarry]

yeah, and this update reset all my settings

[bleak patrol]

Oh no
(Loads RR)
What could I possibly do

We're sooooo doomed

yeah you can

"drop it or i drop you"

[sacred tapir]

yeah no thats what i do

i ask where it is, and if i can have it back

no response? eat eruptor mf

[sacred tapir]

love spawning and getting fucking murdered by the eagle storm

thats the one time ive died to it

superstore has 3 pages now?!?

[plain bough]

Lever action rifle is bugged on the warbond lol

[spring quarry]

and the rifle is so bugged that it's impossible to even buy it

[hasty sandal]

been sitting in the game files for years and still gets bugged

it must have a curse upon it

[spring quarry]

okay
if you cant buy rifle just restart the game

[plain bough]

Talon sidearm ain't half bad

8 shots before you need to replace a heatsink

[plain bough]

I'm liking the lever action, it's extremely accurate

only downside is the slower reload times but I suppose thats a given

[spring quarry]

yep, rifle is good

[stoic pier]

me as soon as i see a bot fabricator

[plain bough]

Got the hover pack, you get around 6 seconds to air time with a quick recharge of around 10 seconds to use again

accurate aiming in air is rough so probably better to not try and snipe

you move slightly faster than standard jogging as well

[hasty sandal]

the double gambit?????

MOMENT IN HISTORY

TAKE A PICTURE

[plain bough]

Isn't that planet at 0% liberation? We gonna lose both lol

[hasty sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/itsover-wojack-gif-4367840179675491690

real question tho

on a scale of 1 to 10 how much as an individual do I impact liberation rates if I do D10 operations

1 is give up you're useless and 10 is you saved the galactic war here's 50 medals

[bleak patrol]

1

Defense / liberation rate doesn't scale with difficulty

If you want to speedrun liberation you're better off playing 1's

That's basically the sole reason why I don't play on higher difficulties anymore

[pale hollow]

False, this was changed a long time ago, you are operating based on old and incorrect information.

It scales with XP

[bleak patrol]

I operate based on my own information because I don't trust anyone except myself

I especially don't trust people who call themselves "helpers"

But to be perfectly serious now, I haven't noticed any real differences in my own impact on liberation rates while doing full clears of ops on 7's and 8's

And by full clears, I do mean doing everything

I'm still gonna say that on scale of 1 to 10, him doing D10 operations as an individual, which I understand as "solo player", it is a 1

If he is not doing it solo, then it depends on how well does the whole squad perform

If they are 4 John Helldivers, then I'd say it's around 7

[hasty sandal]

a 7?

dayum

I ask cuz I often do D10 public operations

and wanna know to what degree my contribution is important

[bleak patrol]

I wouldn't be that happy with a 7

[hasty sandal]

I was expecting like a 4

[bleak patrol]

You do have an input, but we won't die without you

[bleak patrol]

I can give you a 4 if you really want it

I did find some more up to date information about how the rates work, issue is that it doesn't correlate to my personal experience

As stated above, I don't notice any real difference in my input when playing in the same difficulty bracket (7-9, for example), but I did notice a difference when playing in different brackets. D6 gave me less than D7, which makes sense - D7 gives more xp after all. But unless the end screen is lying to me (and it could), then there was no difference in my impact between D5 and D6, or D7 and D8, only between D6 (medium) and D7 (hard)

If I were to apply this logic, then playing D10s with a squad, and being successful, would result in better impact on the galactic war, thus your input is a 7
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[hasty sandal]

splendid

[bleak patrol]

You will get a 10 if you can do 10 D10 ops in 10s

[hasty sandal]

with this new found knowledge I will not become a bugdiver, dedicating my entire career to wasting time on some random bug planet like 8 people are on

because after all I have no impact and my contribution if present wont affect the fate of a planet

#cosmeticGalacticWar

[bleak patrol]

Being on a random bug planet with 8 people does have an impact...
...a negative one

[plain bough]

Average disagreement cause the host kept using the free 380mm at close range

[bleak patrol]

I think we need a separate tutorial just for stuff like barrages

[hasty sandal]

"no women in my squad"

??????

[plain bough]

implying he whines too much about the very close range bombardments

[hasty sandal]

also ermmmm

aktually the safe distance from 380s is 65 metres

[plain bough]

Conveniently the next match I'm playing is with the french

[sacred tapir]

boba fett head ass

(i dont have warbond, im big broke)

i really want it tho

the rifle alone is enough for me (its 300 damage and medium pen, its just constitution but better)

and its rounds reload

which is great

[latent zodiac]

tried an old shield build on bots earlier, with defender, plasma pistol, normal grenades, devastator heavy armor, and a quasar cannon

and holy crap the cooldown on the shield needs to be tuned down if its gonna break to a couple rockets or just one big laser, which significantly more enemies use now

check joel pc it not regular

[eager cliff]

what the fuck is this helldivers fascist drama now

[sharp kindle]

huh?

[hasty sandal]

apparently the AH ceo talked with the UN about helldivers 2's themes

and said "We asked ourselves, could we brainwash an entire community to fight for a fascist state? Would they? Would we be okay with that? And turns out, yeah, actually"

and some dogs didnt take this very kindly

[sharp kindle]

[plain bough]

I love managed democracy

[sharp kindle]

helldiver players when you tell them which countries on earth are managed democracies

[plain bough]

Lmao, got kicked for bringing orbital gas strike into a bot match

Welp those lvl30s can enjoy how they wanna play then

[spring quarry]

[eager cliff]

[hasty sandal]

they felt bad about loosing the double gambit last time so are trying again

too bad this time we dont have heavy ordnance

Shut up iedy

500 kg upon your house

Just the mere fact that they weren't aware about that is enough to judge their intelligence

[sacred tapir]

wait so yer tellin me, that i can shoot my friends in a duel?

this is good

[plain bough]

yes the duel emote works like that

[sacred tapir]

hell yeah bruther

i love it

im buyin that shit

[plain bough]

weapons ain't half bad as well

[sacred tapir]

i want the warbond

but the warbond can wait

i need this emote NOW

it wont be available forever

and id have to wait ages for it to circulate

[plain bough]

Dynamite is a pretty large explosion, not advised for heavies lol

[sacred tapir]

someone needs to explain why deadeye isnt heavy pen

the eruptor is

but deadeye isnt?

[plain bough]

calibers not the largest with deadeye

[sacred tapir]

like come on, youre giving us a glorified constitution with the dilligence scope

[sacred tapir]

funny excuse

my main point: senator

literally smaller than deadeye ammunition

probably less velocity

[plain bough]

well either way, I bet if deadeye came out straight with heavy the eruptor might've been tossed aside again

[sacred tapir]

and definitely less ballistic longevity

[sacred tapir]

no

can deadeye one tap tanks?

can deadeye 1 tap devies?

aside from head

can deadeye effectively take out strat scrambler striders?

none of the above

the utility just isnt there for it to make eruptor get tossed aside

[sharp kindle]

just ran into it
holy they are mad

[sacred tapir]

its hilarious

people need to realize it was a joke

and i find it hilarious that they compared it to other fascist states

[sharp kindle]

we have this shit go down every 1 or 2 years in the 40k fandom

[sacred tapir]

its similar (to an extent)

[sacred tapir]

i know

[sharp kindle]

some ppl need to reminded that the empire is bad

[sacred tapir]

we also have the whole thing with female characters

that arent guardsmen

[sharp kindle]

the female custodes brough out soo many roaches it was unreal

[sacred tapir]

because "female space marines were not viable in the lore"

[sharp kindle]

yes that true and stated

but custodes arent space marines

[sacred tapir]

although im pretty sure female custodians might not be a thing, but i dont know

id have to look into it

do a dive into lexicanum and wikis

and all sorts of shit like that

[sharp kindle]

they were not
however there are notes of book authors saying they wanted to add them

but gw said no because they cant make models for them

[sacred tapir]

i mean custodes arent made through the same genhancement process iirc

[sharp kindle]

no they are handcrafted from 0

[sacred tapir]

so it probably isnt as strict as to gender

yeah

exactly

[sharp kindle]

they can literally be anything

[sacred tapir]

they make them as they make them

[sharp kindle]

yeah exactly

[sacred tapir]

so custodes cant be complained about in all honesty

SMs? sure

[plain bough]

low bar effort for making plastic miniatures

[sacred tapir]

they are stated as to not being female

because of reasons i forgor

[sharp kindle]

cant expect them to do fucking anything when they can just be lazy and sell plastic at the price of silver

[sacred tapir]

pretty sure its something to do with how the geneseed is rejected by women

or something

[sharp kindle]

is mostly the fact that testosterone is a requirement to make a space marine

[plain bough]

They deserve to have their balls twisted and disallowed from Warhammer so we can get the bar going

[sacred tapir]

but ofc with GW they would happily retcon it

just for money

because you know they would

[sharp kindle]

you technically could use a female host
but would end up look like a dude with a beard

[sacred tapir]

yeah it wouldnt matter

it would basically just make them a dude through rewriting literally everything

its just easier to skip all that by using male subjects i think

[sharp kindle]

but that would get the grifters mad because
Reasons

[sacred tapir]

yeah, i guess so

also hellmarines when

[plain bough]

when we getting some proper heavy armor

[sacred tapir]

or better yet, chainsword when?

because there is a model in the files

[plain bough]

chainsword most likely from WH40K crossover ngl

[sacred tapir]

and there ARE man sized chainswords

[sacred tapir]

if we get one, im happy with man sized bolters and chainswords

even if the bolter is just a dominator deluxe basically

[sharp kindle]

tbh

if we do get a 40k collab

it might not bring anything space marine related

[sacred tapir]

thats why im ok with the man sized versions

[sharp kindle]

we might get kazarkin gear

[sacred tapir]

because they cant write anything space marine like into it

[plain bough]

maybe we get a bolter emplacement strategem

[sacred tapir]

erm its actually "Kasrkin"

[plain bough]

hotshot lasguns

[sharp kindle]

i wouldnt be mad if we shit like this

[sacred tapir]

i wouldnt

i just want it to have stats better than heavy

just a smidge

like more armor, same speed

like extra padding

but like better

[plain bough]

I'm still waiting on a warbond where we become stealth demons

[sacred tapir]

if its made out of ceramite and shit like the guardsman armor is

it would be stronger

than the shit we got

and it would offer fire res, like 25%
